13 Awful-Smelling FragrancesFrom Lancome to Avon, these women's perfumes left Total Beauty readers itching, gagging and more |
4 of 14
Why: Readers didn't particularly like the fragrance's "strong burnt marshmallow" smell, which they say was "overwhelmingly sweet, but not in a good way." One reader calls it "the nastiest, cheapest smelling perfume you have ever smelled." Another reader says she "literally gagged" when she breathed it in. A third reader says the scent didn't leave her either "disappointed" or "jumping with joy." But while she enjoyed the "sweet and powdery smell," she says it "doesn't seem to last very long."

"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

Flower By Kenzo really is horrible.

Nice job--I agree with the majority of your choices. Just because something says "Gucci" doesn't mean it actually smells good!

I'm glad I didn't see anything that I have.

Victoria's Secret Rapture made me so sick that now every time I smell it, I get a headache.

I actually love the mariah carey perfume and it lasts me all day.
