I am constantly amazed how different certain scents smell on different people. I have a girlfriend who wears Tuscany, and I swear it bears NO resemblance to how Tuscany smells on me! On the other hand, Allure by Chanel smells wonderful on me - and that's a hard perfume to carry.
Paris by YSL gives me a THUMPING headache, and Angel by Thierry Mugler - hailed by some as a classic - smelt like an incontinent cat was somewhere about the one (and only!) time I wore it. Anything powdery or musky smells vile on me and a bottle of Joy parfum was 300 of the most wasted dollars I've ever spent - and that was in my 20's!
The same friend who wears Tuscany so successfully can also wear Organza by Givenchy very successfully. So successfully, that I tried it myself. Sadly, on me, it smelt as though somebody's maiden aunt had wandered into the room.
So - what smells bad on you? And what do you wish you *could* wear....but can't?
