I only had one fragrance experience that made me gag.
A*Men Pure Malt was the worst blind buy I ever did. That was a one-way ticket to the garbage bin. Absolutely horrible.

I hope it wasn’t too expensive!
Hahah no I got my hands on it via a discounter in a time were it wasn't discontinued yet fortunately.
Sorry but
Uruk. What the hell is in there?! Maybe I should give it one more chance, but previous tries were an absolute disaster.
In addition, not the biggest fan of
_but not today_. Maybe I'll change my mind. Didn't found it "bloody", but rather it reminded me of indian spices of something slightly metallic
The "Maroussia | Slava Zaïtsev" that @Ringtale speaks of has something from the Civet cat.. sounds so nasty 😷
Kouros Eau de Toilette contains civet while
Antaeus Eau de Toilette contains castoreum. Kouros and Antaeus are two of the best masculine fragrances ever (IMO of course). The ingredients are artificial these days. It's an acquired taste!
I just smelled
Kouros Eau de Toilette and indeed it wasn’t bad at all!!
Agreed, it's not bad at all.
Burnt Hair. Can't believe no one posted that stink bomb yet. At least you don't have to test it to know what it smells like.....

I will combine my two posts from this similar discussion HERE
Ok now for my choices
Asad is something I just can’t wear very often
Boss Man Eau de Toilette has this chemical in it that smells a bit like a kid has eaten too much orange sherbet and been sick but after a while it does vanish and starts to be alright
Lao Oud Extrait de Parfum which I smelled the other day and to me smells like this farm institution where I used to go play as a kid, and to me it smells like a mix of sheep, cow and lama poop mixed with wet hay and other unpleasant things found on a farm. I mean it would be great for nostalgia reasons but I would not spend hundreds of £ to smell like that by spraying it on me 😆
Another is
Alexandria II Parfum which reminded me of a dirty nappy/diaper that had had some talcum powder thrown on it when I first smelled it. It took way too long for that smell to vanish and the dry down to come for me to enjoy it. I like Oud fragrances especially from Aaron Terrence Hughes but this was just 🤢 If the dry down came quicker I would really like this.
Both have this horrible smell in them. I don’t know why they are making those 2 lines similar as one is usually fresh and the other heavy and sweet but PR have got some chemical they are using in both those fragrances that smell hideous to me
Another i really couldn’t stand was
Asad Zanzibar and
Vanilla Sex Eau de Parfum both had me go straight to a public 🚾 to try and scrub 🧼 them off ASAP 🤮 These are the first fragrances that ever got that kind of reaction from me
As for the chemical in the 2 Rabanne fragrances i really hope this is not the change we were warned about last year that we should back up fragrances we love with certain notes as they will soon be banned as it is very strange that like I mentioned above the 2 frags from very different lines have the same smell in both. None of their older stuff has this strange smell that I am aware of. I have not retested ones I already own.
