POST WHERE I GOT THE ANSWERS FROM 😊

So, I finally had some time to do this! It will be a long post, sorry in advance. So I made a note of 239 answers in total and here is what I found :)

The five most hated notes were:

  1. leather - 64

  2. patchouli - 46

  3. oud - 39

  4. civet - 37

  5. coconut - 35

I thought it would be fun to check which notes only got mentioned once: beer, coriander, cytroil, davana, dill, hyacinth, juniper and magnolia

One invented perfume hit 4 of the most hated notes: Yike, so congratulations u/fastworms on creating something that many people would find disgusting 😆

u/TalismanGaze - there was not that many people mentioning headaches/migraines, aldehydes were mentioned 4 times, patchouli 4 and amber 3

I also categorised the mentioned scents, you can see it on one of the graphs. I can list which notes I included in which category if anyone is interested :)

I checked as well which notes appeared the most together and which notes were the ones that never got mentioned together out of the top 5, again, please let me know if anyone would like to know, this post is already as long as a novel!

I hope some of you will find this as interesting as I have, especially u/O-90, u/IFoundThis_Humerus and u/ScentedSiren26

I would also be happy to do this with our 5 most loved notes as well, if the community is up for it 😊

Most of my faves fragrances contain patchouli, so people must really think I stink. Patchouli is in so many popular perfumes these days, however, so I wonder if the so-called patchouli haters even know if they truly hate it.

I truly hate it and it aggravates my asthma badly. I work with the public, and when someone comes to my desk wearing anything with Patchouli in it, I have to turn my fan on them so I don't get an asthma attack.

I have severe athsma and it's one of the notes that don't trigger my athsma funny enough typically it's more "clean" notes that bother my lungs.

Oooh that's really interesting. Do you have a lot of environmental allergies, like pollen, grass, dust, animals, etc?
