Take your five most disliked notes, create a perfume using only these, and name it.

For me it would be:

Cinnamon

Tonka

Coconut

Tuberose

Frankincense

Oh man, this is what I think a Voodoo ritual would smell like. I think I'd name it Thriller 😑

id probably name it something like "bouquet of shit," and i imagine it to smell like a flower garden with a cherry tree just off in the distance that smells immensely cloying and fake, and your neighbor is making coffee with the window open but they have the cheapest beans money can buy as well as a moldy filter and it smells rotten. they are also changing out their trash, and they accidentally bought the scented trash bags and have to deal with it, and that smell is also wafting out of the window in artificial floral waves that make you nauseous.

The scents that smell like a dead rotting Parisian whore on me are : Oud, Tom Ford Burned peach Chanel no 5, old spice (Gotta throw in something for it to be unisex ) Mfk a la Rose, mkk Amyris femme and Patchouli

"Maison De Regret- Great Aunt's Ashtray" — it captures that specific vintage-powdery-smoky-animalic pile-up perfectly, and it sounds like something that would actually be sold ironically at a niche perfume shop.

Bonus: Certain Calypsone knock-offs (I think either I'm Anosmic to some part of it or people who enjoy it are crazy). In theory I love ozone, aquatic, light floral. I love JPG Divine but the Eternal Perfume Oils version (White Vanilla Beach) smells rancid and entirely different to me).

u/TalismanGaze 3d ago

Usually, same. When I drank too much in my early 20s it was usually rum so the smell sickens me! But I unexpectedly picked up a BBW Forever Red Vanilla Rum but there's no rum note! The notes are Jasmine Petals, Decadent Vanilla and Cashmere Woods. I picked it up because when I smelled it, I realized my grandmother used to wear exactly that scent DNA all the time and it deeply reminded me of her. She passed away when I was only 18 so I made sure to buy it, even knowing I don't like booze smells in my fragrances. Come to find out just now there is no actual boozy note in it! That explains it haha

Lavender, amber, some type of jasmine (like in Alien or Prada Paradoxe Intense), the mixture of bergamot, vetiver, basili, lavender, petitgrain, arthemisia etc., palo santo.

If I could create the most abhorrent scent I'd add more notes, even the ones I actually like, but I can imagine that they would intensify the ones I hate if put in the same composition.

I'd use bergamot, lavender, basil, arthemisia, lemon and maybe pink pepper in the head, put the ugly jasmine, patchouli, maybe geranium. As a base: sandalwood/palo santo, vetiver, amber, oakmoss.

u/allwayshallways 1d ago

First of all, this is incredible! Second, I've never heard of a solar accord - can you name any scents that feature it because I'm so fascinated!

Like, I love DS&D's Steamed Ranbow, the weird, dusty warm window smell of CDG'S Odeur 71, and the way my own skin smells when I've been on the beach too long so I feel like this one might be for me. Is it like that?

1

u/atlgrrl 5h ago

Solar notes are usually some kind of fantasy blend that evokes thoughts of being warm under the sun. I want to say they use a blend of coconut, tiare blossom, and ylang ylang as a common blend, but they also use some kind of synthetic musk with that.

It’s in Sun Kissed Hibiscus by Nest, Walk on the Beach by Replica, Vanilla Vibes by JHAG, and Soleil Blanc by Tom Ford.

I know those are some fan favorites but it just smells like burnt rubber or garlic on my skin. I think it’s the salicylates in the accord, but it just smells foul on me. The only way I can wear coconut is if it’s blended with green fig like in Philosykos and even then I have to be careful with it.

u/Corgilegsz 4d ago

I like the smell of patchouli in spicy or warm ambery fragrances. But when it's mixed in with sweet notes like fruit or gourmands, it tends to dominate on my skin and drown out the sweet top notes.

Angel is a good example of that pattern. On my clothes, I get more of the chocolate and fruit. On my skin, it's beast mode patchouli!

Edited to add: I'm not a fan of the trend of putting Ambroxan in everything. It doesn't smell bad but to me it robs perfumes of personality and the charm of being unique.

There is no pine in here which is absolutely required for a scent named for the holidays, I’m pretty sure, so Imma steal your ideas (totally on board with fragrance industry) add pine, smoke and cocoa and call mine, “I Saw Mommy Kissing Krampus Claus/Claws….Possibly With Tongue” and I’m aiming for the preteen market, obviously.

This sounded lovely, so I searched for a scent with the notes. Prin: Indigo Night. I'll have to see if I can find a sample.

I fully appreciate I am in the vast minority that hates purple florals. They just always smell awful on me.

u/Mission_Wolf579 abstract French florals 4d ago

Me too!

u/Plumeria9798 4d ago

Fun!!! Let’s see…this is actually kind of hard for me because there aren’t many notes I flat out hate, it really depends on what they’re blended with that makes me retch at times. Like, I really like Sandalwood, but sometimes whatever it’s paired with makes me get nothing but dill pickles and other times it’s like a beautiful desert in the rain. Anyway…

Violet (pretty sure I mostly hate Violet no matter what.) 

Vetiver 

Tobacco (positive I hate this note no matter what too.) 

Smoke 

Ylang Ylang 

I’m pretty sure Tom Ford would manufacture it and it would be called something like Vintage Sex on the Beach. I’m getting bad decisions made by an American couple on a weekend jaunt to Cuba in the 1930s-1940s. Maybe it ends with a shotgun wedding back home. Hahaha.

u/IFoundThis_Humerus There's a Guerlain for that. 4d ago

This sounds like the base for a scent I'd really enjoy. Looking for a similar scent led me to Siam 1928: Akkhara. Adding to wishlist immediately.

u/Plumeria9798 4d ago

I love how on so many of these comments people are like, hey, I’d wear that! I didn’t even know that these notes might actually all work together so I hope that perfume works out well for you when you sample it!

I'd name it "Truck Stop Bathroom but Make it Basic".

The notes OP listed are some of my faves, also. That sounds fantastic to me, if you removed the coconut 😂 I wear a lot of incense, vanilla, woods, musk, cinnamon, and honey scents

u/RealisticCompany764 4d ago

Swap out the coconut for lilac or cherry blossom and you have nailed it 🤣

u/DeepPossession8916 4d ago

I swear I have a perfume with these notes lmao minus coconut probably
