Intro: Branddecant has always been helping everyone find good-smelling perfumes, but today I want to rant about those odd fragrances that netizens have voted on. Not only do they not smell good, but they can also be downright stinky and even cause physical discomfort, leading to symptoms like nausea, headaches, and dizziness. These perfumes are literally killing me! Let’s take a look at the representatives of these toxic perfumes:
Serge Lutens Muscs Koublai Khan
A fragrance that smells like a nomad from the African savannah, this perfume is heavy with animalic notes and spices, reminiscent of someone who hasn’t showered in a month.
Serge Lutens Serge Noire
This perfume seems like it’s trying to recreate a spice catastrophe, with strong camphor and cumin notes followed by a mishmash of spices. It’s like turning yourself into a savory dish, but not in a good way!
Serge Lutens Dans Le Bleu Qui Pétille
Released after 22 years, this new fragrance left a lasting impression on me during the year-end review. It feels like falling into a stinky saltwater pit with damp seaweed clinging to your arms. OMG, it’s a nightmare!
Etat Libre d’Orange Secretions Magnifiques
This famous perfume, with its concept of tracing human origins, is like a biochemical weapon. It combines the fishy smell of seaweed with the sweetness of milk, topped with a metallic taste, creating a foul and nauseating aroma. No wonder so many people say smelling this perfume triggers physical reactions.
Nasomatto Fantomas
Initially, I hesitated about including it, but when I sprayed it in the office, it garnered complaints and eye rolls from all my colleagues, so it made the cut. Its strange and complex scent of murky smoke, rubbery leather, and chemical melon and gunpowder makes me wonder if it’s a product of perfumery or performance art. I really don’t get it. But if you’re feeling nauseous and need to induce vomiting, maybe it could work.
Nishane Afrika Olifant
Described by a fragrance enthusiast as “wild animals frolicking in a sewage pit,” based on this comment, you should be able to imagine: it’s really not suitable for wearing. Combining beaver castoreum, civet, and leather with incense, myrrh, camphor, and other strong spices, this perfume is incredibly heavy and intense.
BeauFort London 1805 Tonnerre
It’s not a perfume; it’s a thunderclap! With burning smoke, exploding gunpowder, and a splash of bitter lime juice, this fragrance is extremely brutal, with a suffocating smoky sensation like the aftermath of a bomb explosion, filled with the smell of gunpowder. It might be suitable for sampling or playing with, but not for wearing unless you’re truly a “social terrorist.”
Amouage Figment Man
These Toxic Perfumes smell like damp green soil mixed with woody incense and animalic notes. If I were to describe it, it’s like poisonous mushrooms growing on a damp, moldy underground wooden bed, with some animal fur on top. Spraying it daily will definitely make people around you stay away.
Conclusion:
In the vast world of perfumery, there are thousands of fragrances, loved by many and despised by others. Whether a perfume smells good to us or not, it’s the courage of perfumers to innovate and explore that has created this rich and diverse fragrance universe. Despite encountering toxic perfumes that make us want to gag, it’s through these experiments and risks that new scents are discovered, pushing the boundaries of olfactory artistry. So, let’s celebrate the creativity and imagination of perfumers, who continue to shape the fascinating world of fragrances.
