To me that would have to be Xerjoff's Italica. It made me so nauseous. I remember reading the notes and almost blind bought it, but ultimately decided to buy a sample of it first. Wise decision on my part.
Nastiest fragrance ever
I hesitate to use the word "hate" about a perfume, but Sheer Veil drove me there. Like sharp hooks prying my brain through my nose, like sharp nails on a blackboard.
What do you think is the worst fragrance ever?
Sécrétions Magnifiques pops up a lot when you search this. Has anyone tried it? Is it really that bad? I have it on my wish list because somehow it makes me curious!
I remember as a kid I got this perfume for my birthday that I really loathed. I see it as a goal in life to find it one day because I can’t remember which one it was 😆 I smelled it on someone a couple of years back but I wasn’t as determined back then to ask what it was.. maybe this forum will help me out 🙃 All I remember is that it was a rectangular black bottle with a simple text on it.
Ah well.. I digress.. let’s hear your absolute stinkers!
My definition of nasty is rather different - I find overdose of ethyl maltol in today’s feminine perfumes to be nasty - very few of them manage to utilize it in a smart way while the rest just overdose it and turn you into a walking overly sugared cookie - the type that leaves just feeling disgusting after you eat it.
Imagine wearing a jacket during a barbecue, standing in the smoke of the charcoal the whole day. Next morning you smell that jacket.
No need to do that, just use this perfume.
Eau de Space is the most disgusting 'perfume' I have ever smelled. When it arrived the stench came through the packaging (poor postman) ... My first thoughts were: what did I order that smells so rotten and I didn't thought about a perfume at all ... and the greater the shock was after opening the packaging. I am used to quite a few strange perfumes but this really beat them all. For the very first ( and also the last time ) ever I did not apply the scent on my skin because the stench chocked me already from far away through the bottle. . Carefully (read: vacuum) packed I hid it far away from all my perfumes. At one point I threw the scent in the garbage outside to let it pich up by the garbagetruck ( poor driver ) ... if space smells this awful it's better to stay on our planet earth...

Lol what a story. And still these kinds of stories make me wonder how such fragrance smells…

Fun fact : did you know that in French slang, "space" is a synonym of "weird"? Even it's written and pronounced like the English word, it's not related, it's short for "spécial".
For me it would be Obsession Eau de Parfum , Youth-Dew Eau de Parfum or Cinnabar (1978) Eau de Parfum
I really hate animal odors and aldehydes that smell like cat pee (no offense, just my personal tastes🤐).
Quelques Fleurs Jardin Secret Eau de Parfum Extrême is like sandpaper on my nasal receptors. I love me a green perfume, but the powder in this one is waaAAAyyy too much and it grates on my nerves. I imagine this is what sarin gas does to one's senses. Sheer Veil, although a different scent profile, gave me a similar sensation of pain in my sinuses.
