Rubber Tires

Phew, what can I say. Parfumo rating 8.0/10 ??? With 189 reviews!?
Unfortunately, I can't understand that...
I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but this perfume STINKS in my nose.
I don't smell fine leather, as often described here, but rubber tires. It's such a strong, dominant leather scent - to me it smells like rubber tires that have become hot from high friction. Car dealership smell, but in a very unpleasant way. On top of that, there's a piercing rosewater...
Unpleasant from start to finish. But that's just how it is. Tastes differ, and so do nose preferences.

I feel the same way, both with this scent and with leather notes in general. I can only wear them in homeopathic doses. This one comes off almost masculine on my skin.

Apparently, it wasn't your leather. There are still plenty of other testing options.

If you don't really like rose-heavy scents (your own post), why are you trying it? Just to find it even less suitable for you? That could have been avoided.
I love it, over and over again.

I'm glad you like it! But you could have saved your reply, since I already know that many people love the scent. It doesn't bother me, why should it?
I'm just open to being convinced by rose fragrances, and with so many perfumes in the world, I'm sure I can find a rose scent that I like. The same goes for any other notes I supposedly don't like. There will always be combinations where I might enjoy them, and I don't want to miss out on that. I don't have to, right? Luckily, everyone can sniff whatever they want.
Best wishes,
Evvi

Tested multiple times, each time very unpleasant.
