What are your disliked scents?

Almond. While the scent itself isn't offensive to my nose, soaps with almond in them tend to light my face up with a sometimes severely unpleasant burning sensation. I do find it odd, because I don't have a dietary allergy to nuts.

Not big on bay rum or cologne-type scents. Also not big on coffee or "gourmand" scents either, at least for my shaving products. Don't get me wrong, I love coffee and desserts, etc. but I don't want to shave with a soap that smells like them. It does sound like I'm in the minority with the earthy scents. I like sandalwood and patchouli, as long as its not overpowering.

Oh yeah, I don't like the almond scent either. Not that I'm allergic, I just don't like it. No more Cella for me!

Bay Rum. Never really cared much for it.

I've tried 3 Bay Rum soaps or aftershaves and couldn't stand the scent enough to even use. I will not be buying anymore. The other scents I don't like are eucalyptus and wintergreen when they dominate.

YMMV - I love bay rum - not so crazy about the heavily clove forward ones though and I don't know why anybody likes VIBR. Earthy smokey vetiver (Cyril R. Salter?) is wonderful, but this is a post for scents I dislike so I'll give it a go - Axe and axe like fragrances turn my stomach. I generally don't like the high end designer fragrances, they all sort of smell the same and nauseate me and as for the price? Nope. I don't like Brut, English Leather, Hai Karate and related smells. I have a tub of Tiki Out West soap that smells like a tannery, talk about over the top leather smell, don't like it either. I've found that I've often been disappointed in a soap or aftershave because of lack of the promised fragrance or any fragrance at all.

I'd also go with patchouli....each time I've ever smelled it, it smelled like dirt to me. why would anyone want to smell like dirt?!?!

I was trying to hold back but to me it smells just like a variation of BO. No offense intended to anybody that enjoys it of course.

Patchouli is a necessary EO for a lot of good scents but if used heavily it does turn a lot of people off. I have a bottle of it and actually like the scent but I don't use it alone.
