No. 11: Lush Go Green, $7.95 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 6.4*
Why: One reader who loves all LUSH products says, "this is not a fave." It has an "intrusive" scent, which was "a little too sweet-smelling" for several readers. One reader who was "not a fan of this evergreen scent to spray on [her] body" says it did make "a great neutralizer for the bathroom and kitchen after cooking." And like all fragrances, of course, it "smells different on everyone," but readers say to stay away unless you like smelling "like a Christmas tree air freshener."

"Gucci by Gucci" from what I can recall, was not particularly satisfying to my nose.

I personally like Flower by Kenzo and Gucci by Gucci - and I have other pet peeves: Insolence by Guerlain (a very particular smell that clung to my skin for days) and Issey Miyake - I love the smell but it gives me headaches
