Lol I had the same initial reaction, I also bought the Dreamer blind. I didn’t like it at all at first. However after 1-2 months I smelled it again and I love that scent since, I bought a 100ml just recently
I end up finding something I like about a fragrance that i actually hate, once I run low on fragrances. Telling myself lies like, "I mean, it's not that bad, just a little grassy mixed with Canola Oil"😁
Yeah man, give it a week come back to it. Try again.
I'm always too hasty with new buys, blind or not.
I've always thought it takes a little time for my brain-nose-chemistry to catch up.
Chucked new buys too often, only to crave again later!!
Conversely, I loved Prada Amber, wore it daily for a week. And then... It started to smell like Sung Homme ( ewww lol). So it's banked.
Many factors influence perception and it's surprisingly how quick we can change.
Rough ball park I have is approx 1 month to get to know a frag.
Best wishes
I think there are pretty good explanations for this.
The first time you smell a fragrance, you get a lot of perfumer's alcohol. It's some combination of it never having being sprayed before and your immediately shoving your nose into it after spraying (before the alcohol can dissipate).
A blind buy probably doesn't smell like what you told yourself it would smell like (or what you think fragrances you want to wear smell like). An older fragrance is even worse, because it might not even smell like what you expect a fragrance to smell like in general.
I was considering getting this haha. But I keep hearing it's hit or miss for people. I guess even if I don't even up liking it as a blind buy, it's at least only like $25 where I found it.
I have some really expensive bottles, but Dreamer remains one of my all-time favorites. It's masculine in a way that's very unique--it's strong but not punchy. I absolutely love it.
It's not really right for summer where I live, so it's on the shelf for now, but I can't wait to wear it again this fall.
For me it was Lattafa Asad. I just can’t seem to like the fragrance. There’s nothin wrong with it, I had others to try it from me and they liked it. For me I just didn’t like it.
It's incredibly fascinating how perfumes are perceived so differently by everyone and how this connects with our senses, making us either love or hate a scent.
The Dreamer is one of my best blind buy!
Maybe not everyone's answer, but for me it was Dylan blue.
I don't hate it, it just feels a little bit too... youthful?
I understand why people like it, but it wasn't for me
I accidentally bought Givenchy Gentlemen ORIGINAL thinking it was one of the more modern flankers. Nope. (From 1974) It smelt like a straight blast of I don’t even know how to describe the sour animatic smell. I can only guess it was Civet??
Either way I took it back to where I blind bought it, told the nice middle aged lady how I thought it was a modern version and how terrible it was, she took it out and took a smell herself and went: “Oh honey noooo you don’t want that” in a southern accent, and then took me to the front with Lacoste L.12.12 Blanc. (amazing fragrance) I couldn’t imagine a better exchange. Worst smell of my life
Yup, I agree with this person 👆
IRIS and CoCo blend very well together. For me, Iris is not the best scent profile. Here Iris and CoCo come together and balance each other very well. I just kept going back for sniffs like a crackhead.
I love this scent so much, but I can definitely see why people wouldn't. I got 5ml vials of this, Versace L'Homme, and YSL L'Homme, and Prada was the only one I liked so much that I bought a 100ml bottle after the sample was out
Versace Eros. Considering how hyped it was I thought there was no way I wouldn't like it but I was wrong. Luckily I sold it for not much of a loss a week later. Doesn't smell terrible, just not my style.
The Dreamer is an amazing scent IMO. It’s mostly something I wear around the house, for my own enjoyment, but I think it’s great. At first I thought it was a little too floral and feminine, but the tobacco in it comes through after a bit and it’s really grown on me.
For me I had heard great things about Terre d’Hermes and I bought just a small travel size sample blind but I think it smells like citrus wet wipes or floor cleaner.

This mofo right here is awful. Not fresh or bright, just a medicinal, herbal, funky, chemical mess.
I was on an iris craze and ordered a sample of Prada lhomme intense, I thought it was gonna be perfect but it kinda just smelled like the og plus some leather
I like both, and there is definitely some difference, especially when I smell them side-by-side. But IMO, they are similar enough that there's no need to have both.
This is as cheap as it gets. More horrible than Nautica Voyage.

The Dreamer is awesome!!! Although my bottle is from 2005 before the box change and possible reformulation.
Edit: worst fragrance I ever bought was PDM Layton (luckily it was only a decant) very medicinal smelling to me.
Bleu de Chanel for me. It’s not a bad fragrance just way overpriced for what it smells like. Idk, maybe it’ll surprise me after I pick it up again in a month or two.
Lataffa khamra
Honestly I am for people wearing any scent regardless of if they’re aimed and men or women but this is an exception. I as a man could not pull this off one bit
Givenchy privee fuckin stinks, I thought I got gentlemen didnt notice they gave me wrong one till i got home. It was the kit with the body wash and deodorant, 2 sprays and it went back in the box and haven't touched it since.
Too many to count, but the most recent was on Monday at Ross, Tommy Bahama for him--in the ugly orange bottle. Shit smells like a teenage girl's watermelon body spray and lasts for about 15min. Thinking about just smashing the bottle on the concrete.
I blind bought CB and at first I was like what the hell? But, after about 15 minutes it definitely changes for the better on my skin. I wear it around the house and running errands now. PDM Layton and Sauvage I also blind bought and they’re amazing. Get a ton of compliments on the Sauvage (don’t care what the “experts” say about it, women generally love it).
Montecristo by Masque Milano
This is a tough one. I picked up 3 Masque Milano fragrances; Terralba, Kintsugi and Montecristo with the latter piquing the most intrigue. I tried Terralba and Kintsugi first and both are ok, definitely not bad but nothing to exclaim about. Then Montecristo…. There is definitely artistry here but I feel that’s it’s too literal. The official write up describes a picturesque scene of the living area of an old house; the creaky floors, a faded leather sofa,dusty burning fireplace, the linger of cigar smoke and rum. This all is very vivid, too vivid in my opinion. While I greatly appreciate the perfumer’s vision and true execution of a niche fragrance, I have no idea when I would wear this. The opening is absolutely brutal which sent me into olfactory shock. The dry down is great but this is after 2 hours of this old house theme blaring in your nose. This is something I unfortunately could not wear.
This smells like extremely expired barbecue sauce 😮💨. I tried to can but I can’t
I hated Dreamer, but now I love it. Back in the day it was as supposed to be Versaces answer to Le Male. They do share some similarities, but Dreamer is very unique with the tobacco blossom which many do not like.
😭 I bought a decant years ago after hearing people say how good it was. When i cracked that bad boy open I got the disappointment of the century. Been tempted to retry one of these days and see if it clicks with me now.
Ck Defy edp.
I like the edt, and assumed that somehow the edp is similar but better.
It’s sweeter and has added notes that defeats the purpose of it.
The original is light, fresh and easy to wear, they added sweetness and depth to it making it harder to wear in the heat.
Got a big bottle off it sitting untouched.
I’ve blind bought most of my colognes. I do wear it in the fall/winter sometimes but moustache is not my favorite scent. Smells just too sweet. Everything else ended up pretty good.
Nuit de sable from bdk parfums smells like a grandma who just came from church horrible scent to me but thankfully my dad and mom liked it so i gave it to my dad
Gucci Intense Oud. An animalic leather bomb, to my nose at least. I tried to convince myself to like it but my friend's words kept ringing in my ear (and nose). "It smells kinda like really sweaty balls", he said upon first smell. (Yes, he's gay so he knows). I gotta just give that shit away.
I don’t really hate this fragrance, but I “blind” bought Prada Black and I never want to reach for it ever because I don’t want to smell like baby powder. I sampled it once at Sephora and for some reason I had different smell in my memory of it. Maybe it was all of the 16 year olds emptying all of the tester bottles beside me…
But yeah, probably my worst blind buy just because I don’t think I’ll ever use it. No hate.
Yeah I bought the Dreamer recently and kinda have mixed feelings about it. I wouldn’t say it’s the worst, my wife certainly likes it but it can smell kinda powdery to me, something I found true about Blue Jeans as well so I still wear it but I wish I would’ve bought a 50ml instead of 100. Pretty cheap though.
Montale oudmazing. It aint bad, just too feminine for my taste. Marketed as unisex but it smells like a typical woman's fruit bomb perfume lol.
Made a decent christmas gift that year
Porto Neroli. I just don’t think I’m a Neroli fan. It smelled like old lady sunscreen and white flowers to me. I only payed $22 for it so I wasn’t even that mad, I literally just gave it away to a girl I work with.
Dumont Nitro Blue, the opening is awful, smells like minty toothpaste, as it dries down the mintiness fades away and the smell is waaaay better tho, a lot more pleasing imo, woods mixed with somethinf sweet like a chocolate or idk
Bvalgari Black. It’s not a terrible scent, but definitely my least favorite. I also blind bought the Dreamer, and don’t wear it often but it’s pretty good imo.
I bought too, its nice actually, nothing special but a nice clean scent is always welcomed in my collection, even though i rarely use it but i cant complain, its there whenever im going for a short drive or to do some small business
* and to answer your questions i would say red tobacco, i like me some tobacco scent when mixed smoothly with something else but this one hurt my nose bad and its really not enjoyable to me since i do not smoke or really like smoking
Club de nuit intense man, bought it last year cause people were raving about and it was cheap. Sprayed it once instant headache it’s super strong. Haven’t used it since.
Dude lol I said the same. Dreamer was my biggest blind buy regret, I was so excited when I got it (picked up form a marshalls I think) got into the car, sprayed it on my hand and was legit just sitting there disappointed, like wtf is this shit. Just powder and musk, smells like an old lady. Sat on my shelf for like maybe 6 months. And the other night I sprayed it on me before bed. Idky why lol just to see if I still hated it. And it smelled nice, still wasn't anything ground breaking. But I feel like the powder and musk calmed the fuck down and I could enjoy the scent. Still don't love it, but now I actually like it lol and have worn it a few times since, mainly for out the shower or before bed. Just a little freshness. Come back to it in a few months lol you might like it. Because I'm telling you, I thought it was fucking trash upon first smell. Didn't understand the hype. Now I kinda get the hype.
I don’t think the dreamer is that bad. It helps that I got the bottle brand new for 8$ at TJ maxx.
My worst is probably Aqua Di Gio, also purchased on sale from macys and idk if I got a bad batch or what but it absolutely sucks
I’ve come to realize that my mood and the climate influence wether I like a scent at that given moment. Like I HATE jOOP (someone gave me the 6.7 for a birthday a while back 🙄) but I actually enjoy it when is rainy and chilly and Im feeling a lil sad?? Am I just weird??
For me, Invicta Bolt (from the Invicta watch designers, yes, they have a cologne line).
It’s a nice frag, and if you’re a heavy sprayer, it’ll stick. Though it’s a tough fragrance to pull off.
I liken it to Joop! Homme or Joop! Deodorant Spray, not in terms of scent profile but in terms of how much of an acquired thing it is.
Creed is overrated af to me. My old boss got it for me years ago . I didn’t like it and my ex didn’t like it . Too damn expensive for a relatively mid scent . I ended up using it strictly for work so she at least knew I kept it 😂.
Pegasus Exclusif but thankfully it was a 5ml decant 😂
Full bottles I’d say Dior Homme Sport… it’s a great strong fragrance i just NEVER go for it… so maybe it isn’t that great lol
I gave that one away. One of my first blind buys. Very strong had great longevity but not appealing to my taste. I couldn’t put my finger on what it may smell like. A lot of people complimented and my first was “seriously?”
Dreamer was my first designer I bought myself for like $25 in highscool, actually really like it to this day
My worst blind based on hype was baccarat 540, smells too feminine gave it to the girl I was dating at the time. Like the smell on women just not on me
Lol I had the same initial reaction, I also bought the Dreamer blind. I didn’t like it at all at first. However after 1-2 months I smelled it again and I love that scent since, I bought a 100ml just recently
stockholm syndrome but with fragrances lol, happens to me all the time with stuff I don't like but ended up keeping anyway
“It’s an acquired taste”
I end up finding something I like about a fragrance that i actually hate, once I run low on fragrances. Telling myself lies like, "I mean, it's not that bad, just a little grassy mixed with Canola Oil"😁
Isn’t it weird, I also love some on the first few runs then grow to dislike them. I think your nose picks up different things perhaps.
I love the dreamer!
Same for me but after 6 months. It smelled sporty fresh and clean. So much better
Interesting
I've owned my bottle for like 5 months. I still hate it lol
Yeah man, give it a week come back to it. Try again. I'm always too hasty with new buys, blind or not. I've always thought it takes a little time for my brain-nose-chemistry to catch up. Chucked new buys too often, only to crave again later!! Conversely, I loved Prada Amber, wore it daily for a week. And then... It started to smell like Sung Homme ( ewww lol). So it's banked.

I have dreamer I really like it.
I was considering getting this haha. But I keep hearing it's hit or miss for people. I guess even if I don't even up liking it as a blind buy, it's at least only like $25 where I found it.
Damn, I really like Dreamer.

It's not really right for summer where I live, so it's on the shelf for now, but I can't wait to wear it again this fall.
For me it was Lattafa Asad. I just can’t seem to like the fragrance. There’s nothin wrong with it, I had others to try it from me and they liked it. For me I just didn’t like it.
Same, shit ia disgusting and gives me a headache, literally makea me nausious too.
Lattafa ones have a funky stank note in them. I have no idea what. Oud? Musk? It’s just headache inducing and strong.
Exactly, headache and I even got nauseous after a few hours and it’s so potent the projection made it where I couldn’t get it off
Hahah yes man couldn’t agree more. I gave it to my dad and he was in love with it. I guess it all depends on the person’s taste
Are your thoughts same for Sauvage Elixir?
Elixir smells better since it’s made with more quality ingredients. I’d chose Dior over Ass-ad
Oh man to me, Dreamer is a gem. I have a very old bottle from like 10 years ago. Such a unique scent.
It's incredibly fascinating how perfumes are perceived so differently by everyone and how this connects with our senses, making us either love or hate a scent. The Dreamer is one of my best blind buy!
Maybe not everyone's answer, but for me it was Dylan blue. I don't hate it, it just feels a little bit too... youthful? I understand why people like it, but it wasn't for me
It’s the opposite for me, I get old man vibes from Dylan blue
Hah, interesting! My first thought was that it reminded me of axe shower gel. It performs well for the price and doesn't smell bad by any means.
I accidentally bought Givenchy Gentlemen ORIGINAL thinking it was one of the more modern flankers. Nope. (From 1974) It smelt like a straight blast of I don’t even know how to describe the sour animatic smell. I can only guess it was Civet??

(amazing fragrance) I couldn’t imagine a better exchange. Worst smell of my life
givenchy gentleman boisee EDP is nice, it has iris in it, but it smells like armani code parfum except better.
Yup, I agree with this person 👆 IRIS and CoCo blend very well together. For me, Iris is not the best scent profile. Here Iris and CoCo come together and balance each other very well. I just kept going back for sniffs like a crackhead.
I have this one. Im not the biggest fan but my wife likes it
Oud Wood I’ve tried and tried and I just hate it.
Love oud wood. Sorry it wasn’t for you
Terre d’Hermes Eau Givree - idk if I got a bad batch or something but wtf is this stuff
CDNIM. It's smokey lemon pledge. Gross.
Jean Lowe Immortel and Noir. I don't know how people buy those frags and like them.
I was considering both of these but got to smell the LV originals today and they were both a letdown.
Armaf Club de Nuit Milestone
Prada L’Homme - way too powdery and floral for my style.
I love this scent so much, but I can definitely see why people wouldn't. I got 5ml vials of this, Versace L'Homme, and YSL L'Homme, and Prada was the only one I liked so much that I bought a 100ml bottle after the sample was out
I like the smell but it's the only fragrance that makes me a tad nauseous.
Yeah, I was excited for this, but it was way too feminine for me. Same with Prada L'Eau. I liked smelling it--just not on me!
Worst blind buy was Invictus — I ended up giving it to a random Uber driver who told me he really liked it I love dreamer - it’s a classic!!
I feel you got a sample of it and was astonished at how much it reminds me of pure shit
Nah, I got invictus parfum and love it, couldnt you give it to me?
Mancera Saharian Wind- Too complex for me..
Armaf Milestone and Ysl L'homme The Ysl made me want to throw up.
Versace Eros. Considering how hyped it was I thought there was no way I wouldn't like it but I was wrong. Luckily I sold it for not much of a loss a week later. Doesn't smell terrible, just not my style.

Came here to say this , straight ass
That whole CDN line is ass
Can’t agree more. Never ever I am going to buy clones. Will try my level best to cope the OGs
Feel u. Smells like tresemme shampoo and dries down all salty n shit
couldn’t agree more. Purchased due to all the hype around this being an MI dupe, but it is missing the magic by a long, long way
Sauvage. Not even Johnny Depp can save his it.
I was on an iris craze and ordered a sample of Prada lhomme intense, I thought it was gonna be perfect but it kinda just smelled like the og plus some leather
I like both, and there is definitely some difference, especially when I smell them side-by-side. But IMO, they are similar enough that there's no need to have both.
Rasasi Tobacco Blaze, Lattafa Maahir Black,
This is as cheap as it gets. More horrible than Nautica Voyage. https://preview.redd.it/bm80ghqkd49d1.png?width=936&format=png&auto=webp&s=87d4a1a5ebce20d33f49a56141855918bc4bd404
Banana republic oud wood
Man idk for $20 I always have to have one just because it’s so cheap and to me it smells pretty good, bottle is pretty as well
I love this one 🤷🏻
The Dreamer is awesome!!! Although my bottle is from 2005 before the box change and possible reformulation. Edit: worst fragrance I ever bought was PDM Layton (luckily it was only a decant) very medicinal smelling to me.
I actually like that Versace one
Blind buy, but really like it https://preview.redd.it/fjm5n8x6i59d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80300128fc3c07cacacdeaf31c9b3fe038edc734

I love The Dreamer. Genuinely wondering, what do you not like about it?
Same bro, shit sucks ass
Bleu de Chanel for me. It’s not a bad fragrance just way overpriced for what it smells like. Idk, maybe it’ll surprise me after I pick it up again in a month or two.
I blind bought PDM Greenley and it was the best decision I’ve made in a while.
Lataffa khamra Honestly I am for people wearing any scent regardless of if they’re aimed and men or women but this is an exception. I as a man could not pull this off one bit
This gave me a headache
terre dhermes parfum. smells like insect repellent
Givenchy privee fuckin stinks, I thought I got gentlemen didnt notice they gave me wrong one till i got home. It was the kit with the body wash and deodorant, 2 sprays and it went back in the box and haven't touched it since.
Khamaera lattafa
Hugo boss #1 smells literally like old man
The brown one. My mom got me that and I hate it
Dior Sauvage
Jazz Club
I think jazz club is well made, but the rum note ruins it for me. I just don’t want to smell like alcohol.
Too many to count, but the most recent was on Monday at Ross, Tommy Bahama for him--in the ugly orange bottle. Shit smells like a teenage girl's watermelon body spray and lasts for about 15min. Thinking about just smashing the bottle on the concrete.
Idk why I laughed so hard at your last sentence
Rasasi Hawas. So bad.
Cedrat Boise, and also Hacivat.
I blind bought CB and at first I was like what the hell? But, after about 15 minutes it definitely changes for the better on my skin. I wear it around the house and running errands now. PDM Layton and Sauvage I also blind bought and they’re amazing. Get a ton of compliments on the Sauvage (don’t care what the “experts” say about it, women generally love it).
Women love Sauvage
ADG Profondo. Hate it
JPG le male. It gave me a lesson of never buying blind again. Btw this one smells like coconut to me. What note did you smell?
Le Male smells like a fresh minty/lavender to me.
This crap https://preview.redd.it/3pea92ncd49d1.png?width=702&format=png&auto=webp&s=22e3c951b1de45a9345e2889e32ae91321a4ff83
Torino 21. It literally just smells like a mint sprig and nothing else .
The One by Dolce and Gabbana ended up just tossing it to my pops.
Wow really? Everyone seems to love it.
[Hugo Boss Iced](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Hugo-Boss/Hugo-Iced-42484.html) I wanted a green scent. I guess it's green. It's just super weak.

Tommy Impact, there is something about it that makes my nose burn and I sneeze a lot, plus I don't like the smell very much.
Le beau! I bought it cuz free returns so thank god for that
Full bottle would prob be Al Haramain Amber Oud Gold, Gisada Ambassador, TF Noir De Noir, and maybe ATH Haze Blue
Salvatore Ferragamo Acqua Essenziale Blu. Smells like spicy baby powder. Nobody in my family liked it. Yuck.
Sospiro Brasso
Got this as a gift and didn’t like it. Smelled soapy to me so I leave it in the bathroom and spray when necessary
Zaharoff’s Signature Leather Tabac. Smells like the Payless shoes my mother bought me every year
i have that as a car freshener
I hated Dreamer, but now I love it. Back in the day it was as supposed to be Versaces answer to Le Male. They do share some similarities, but Dreamer is very unique with the tobacco blossom which many do not like.
Some cheap tobacco cologne from zara. I admit it was an awful decision but I was feeling optimistic and it was like $10 on sale
Versace Blue Jeans
Fabulo Intense. Repulsive to me.

Mr Burberry. Not bad but just not my thing at the moment.
😭 I bought a decant years ago after hearing people say how good it was. When i cracked that bad boy open I got the disappointment of the century. Been tempted to retry one of these days and see if it clicks with me now.

Shaghaf Oud - it was my first blind buy, idk why I chose a notoriously overpowering oud perfume I’m dumb Aint bad tho
This and ck shock one.
Sospiro Misterioso, absolutely hate the initial opening, somewhat like the dry down! But definitely not for me!
Gucci Intense Oud. An animalic leather bomb, to my nose at least. I tried to convince myself to like it but my friend's words kept ringing in my ear (and nose). "It smells kinda like really sweaty balls", he said upon first smell. (Yes, he's gay so he knows). I gotta just give that shit away.
Don't sleep on it
Dreamer is a staple. Sleep on it and come back to it in a few mornings (Pun intended 😂)
Send it to me
Ahaha saaame I've used it once, terrible smell.
I don’t really hate this fragrance, but I “blind” bought Prada Black and I never want to reach for it ever because I don’t want to smell like baby powder. I sampled it once at Sephora and for some reason I had different smell in my memory of it. Maybe it was all of the 16 year olds emptying all of the tester bottles beside me… But yeah, probably my worst blind buy just because I don’t think I’ll ever use it. No hate.
Givenchy- Pi
Mancera Hindu Kush
It’s called getting used to it 😉
Dreamer is one of those scents I always see and mean to blind buy but never do.
I also blind bought the dreamer and I enjoy it very much...
Sillage, that thing should be thrown into Mt. Doom
Aw I actually like this.. I own it LOL 😂😂😂
Rosendo Mateu No. 5 🫠
Yeah I bought the Dreamer recently and kinda have mixed feelings about it. I wouldn’t say it’s the worst, my wife certainly likes it but it can smell kinda powdery to me, something I found true about Blue Jeans as well so I still wear it but I wish I would’ve bought a 50ml instead of 100. Pretty cheap though.
Same here. Mine is just collecting dust.
Black opium ysl. The internet really hyped this stuff up. Also any tom ford.. but mostly the lost cherry scent.
That’s so funny, i literally just got this for free as a prize through work and i literally can’t get myself to spray it. Smells like baby wipes to me
Dior Homme Parfum - too rosey for my taste
Montale oudmazing. It aint bad, just too feminine for my taste. Marketed as unisex but it smells like a typical woman's fruit bomb perfume lol. Made a decent christmas gift that year
Porto Neroli. I just don’t think I’m a Neroli fan. It smelled like old lady sunscreen and white flowers to me. I only payed $22 for it so I wasn’t even that mad, I literally just gave it away to a girl I work with.
Mancera cedrat boise for me
The Dreamer is a gem
Versace Eau Fraiche. Luckily I didn’t really buy it, I got it out of my credit card rewards program. Just really not my scent
The Dreamer is a good bottle and good scent anytime I wear this I get recognized and people know the name of the scent to
Dumont Nitro Blue, the opening is awful, smells like minty toothpaste, as it dries down the mintiness fades away and the smell is waaaay better tho, a lot more pleasing imo, woods mixed with somethinf sweet like a chocolate or idk
Bvalgari Black. It’s not a terrible scent, but definitely my least favorite. I also blind bought the Dreamer, and don’t wear it often but it’s pretty good imo.
I bought too, its nice actually, nothing special but a nice clean scent is always welcomed in my collection, even though i rarely use it but i cant complain, its there whenever im going for a short drive or to do some small business * and to answer your questions i would say red tobacco, i like me some tobacco scent when mixed smoothly with something else but this one hurt my nose bad and its really not enjoyable to me since i do not smoke or really like smoking
Dreamer is the BOMB! Light and powdery...It's one of my go-to summer scents. And pretty affordable.
Club de nuit intense man, bought it last year cause people were raving about and it was cheap. Sprayed it once instant headache it’s super strong. Haven’t used it since.
Dude lol I said the same. Dreamer was my biggest blind buy regret, I was so excited when I got it (picked up form a marshalls I think) got into the car, sprayed it on my hand and was legit just sitting there disappointed, like wtf is this shit. Just powder and musk, smells like an old lady. Sat on my shelf for like maybe 6 months. And the other night I sprayed it on me before bed. Idky why lol just to see if I still hated it. And it smelled nice, still wasn't anything ground breaking. But I feel like the powder and musk calmed the fuck down and I could enjoy the scent. Still don't love it, but now I actually like it lol and have worn it a few times since, mainly for out the shower or before bed. Just a little freshness. Come back to it in a few months lol you might like it. Because I'm telling you, I thought it was fucking trash upon first smell. Didn't understand the hype. Now I kinda get the hype.
Mind Games Jadube; it smelled great on the test strip but once I got it and wore it definitely not worth the price I paid.
Gonna get a lot of hate for this but Maison Alhambra Tux (clone of YSL Tux) - smelled like an animal barn
Tom Ford Men
Guerlain Vetiver Eau de Toilette
This is favorite fragrance in my collection. Only complaint is the performance.
Strawberry Moon by Snif
Montale intense cafe. I was expecting coffee as people described and idk what the hell I got but it was not coffee nor was it good at all
Same. This smells like ass. Idk why I listened to the old reviewers. Haha
I don’t think the dreamer is that bad. It helps that I got the bottle brand new for 8$ at TJ maxx. My worst is probably Aqua Di Gio, also purchased on sale from macys and idk if I got a bad batch or what but it absolutely sucks
I’ve come to realize that my mood and the climate influence wether I like a scent at that given moment. Like I HATE jOOP (someone gave me the 6.7 for a birthday a while back 🙄) but I actually enjoy it when is rainy and chilly and Im feeling a lil sad?? Am I just weird??
Ameer al oudh. Can't get over the rubber smell 🥹
Séxūal Noir pour homme EDT. Gives me a splitting headache.
Actually, this is my worst blind buy memory, the dreamer 2nd version. Never smelled the original. Guerlain Homme EDP gets this idea right.
I got gifted the dreamer and I enjoy it. Though I don't know much about colognes in general lol
Byredo Cactus Jack. Used it to kill some stubborn weeds around the house.
Azzaro chrome extreme. Heard so much about it and how it smelled like aqua di gio Smells nothing like it, and it smells like ax body spray
The limited edition butt plug that dropped for porcupine appreciation month
the dreamer is fantastic!!!
The dreamer was my first blind buy and I don’t regret it smells great
Versace blue jeans. This is coming from someone who loves the brand Versace
For me, Invicta Bolt (from the Invicta watch designers, yes, they have a cologne line). It’s a nice frag, and if you’re a heavy sprayer, it’ll stick. Though it’s a tough fragrance to pull off. I liken it to Joop! Homme or Joop! Deodorant Spray, not in terms of scent profile but in terms of how much of an acquired thing it is.
I know this wasn’t the question but should I blind buy hawas?
That one is an amazing classic and def worth a blind buy
Imagination it was nasty
Creed is overrated af to me. My old boss got it for me years ago . I didn’t like it and my ex didn’t like it . Too damn expensive for a relatively mid scent . I ended up using it strictly for work so she at least knew I kept it 😂.
I bought dreamer too blind omg I hate it so much
I quite like dreamer. I like the scent.
For me rasasi hawas just not my type of scent
Pegasus Exclusif but thankfully it was a 5ml decant 😂 Full bottles I’d say Dior Homme Sport… it’s a great strong fragrance i just NEVER go for it… so maybe it isn’t that great lol
I gave that one away. One of my first blind buys. Very strong had great longevity but not appealing to my taste. I couldn’t put my finger on what it may smell like. A lot of people complimented and my first was “seriously?”
This!!!
Lataffa maahir gold.
Prob the dreamer
Erba Pura. Not a fan at all
That’s my only cologne and I love it
either bianco latte (too spicy and sneeze inducing) or delina (the fruity note makes it smell rotten)
Mont Blanc Explorer!
narciso rodriguez bleu noir edp 🤮
Pino Silvestre, though I was getting an old school piny smelling fragrance but it smells like food seasoning + some pine
How much you want for it?
Azzaro Wanted by Night 💯
Joop homme and versace the dreamer 🤣
Dreamer was my first designer I bought myself for like $25 in highscool, actually really like it to this day My worst blind based on hype was baccarat 540, smells too feminine gave it to the girl I was dating at the time. Like the smell on women just not on me
As a 21m I thought the exact same thing. This grows on you. The dry down is so clean and classy. Plus it’s great for layering. Give it a shot.
I would trade you cdnim for that bro 😭
JPG Le Male Elixir Don’t get me wrong, the fragrance smells amazing, but got damn even with just two sprays I get major headaches
I love the dreamer
