Can't say I hate any fragrances but I would be very, very sad if I was forced to wear those:

Mona di Orio Nuit Noir
Feminité du Bois (turns out awful on my skin)
Eternety (ditto)
Galimard Aigues Vive
L'Occitane Feau d'Orange

Scents that I hate....

#1. has to be any of the AXE sprays, it is choking me and suffocating to me at the same time and triggers my asthma on a rampage!

#2. Calvin Klein's perfumes, especially Obsession, Truth and Escape.

#3. Avon's perfumes, all have this top note or aldehydes that destroy my nostrils and give me an instant headache.

#4. Celebrity perfumes, they don't stay on for more than 10 minutes in my opinion and they usually have a stink factor which I cannot stand.

#5. Tommy Girl--yuck, and anything citrusy combined with floral.

Now give me a heady oriental filled with spices, amber and benzoin and I am in heaven.

1. Aromatics Elixir
2. As a perfume lover, I hesitate to admit it but I loathe Chanel No. 5
3. Any Avon perfume that I have tried so far. What is it that they all have in common?
4. Can't think of any others that I truly hate.
Mitsy
CK Escape
Sunflowers by Eliz. Arden
Climat by Lancome
Clinique Aromatics Elixir
Calyx by Prescriptives
Any "true rose" scent...regardless of manufacturer
(I also admit to really not liking Chanel #5 although I know it's a fave for many.)

Not crazy about Dior Addict, Trouble, or Poison. Plenty of Diors I do like though.

Oh and add to that Bandit and Tabac Blond. Not just my cup of tea.
The Refined One
Although there are certainly more in the "dislike" category, I can think of only three I truly detest:

Forever first & foremost: Messe de Minuit.
I love introspection, I love books, I don't even mind some damp and/or mold, but this is horrid!

Nahema. A fave on this board, but the most plastic-y, awful scent........this from a rose lover!

Pink Sugar. Revoltingly, diabetic coma inducingly sweet.

Aromatics Elixir *might make the list, but I keep thinking I'll find someone whose chemistry makes it work!

Youth Dew...

Sage Tzu
  1. Miss Balmain
  2. Arabie
  3. Youth Dew
  4. Fracas
  5. Angel

Love a good hate list:

1. Lipstick Rose - makes me want to cut my nose off
2. Green Irish Tweed / Cool Water - both smell like unwashed teenage boy to me
3. Hypose Homme - tunafish sandwich
4. Hammam Bouquet - granny panties
5. Angel - bottled evil
