Honestly, there are not so many fragrances in the perfume market that would cause violent reactions and heated discussions in people. It’s like a pendulum, which in one zigzag goes out of balance and evenly shifts in the direction of love, then hate.
And in this case, we are not talking about personal perception, but about the reaction of people in general to such aromas. Fans and haters - no more, no less, there is no longer to understand, because there are a lot of opinions, it is impossible to count.
Below is the TOP-5 of the heavy artillery in the perfumery industry, which made a lot of noise, both among ordinary perfume lovers and among experienced perfume critics.
Gucci Guilty Absolute
Tooth-crushing skin, many are stifled by the aroma, they hear a stable in which they haven't cleaned for a year or two, and corrals for cattle. Someone even hears an aggressive unwashed ram or imagine a sweaty brutal lumberjack in a plaid shirt and greasy beard (not to be confused with fashionistas in barber shops or behind the taps of a craft bar).
Hardcore niche, takes you from the capital's penthouse closer to the grandfather hacienda to the area.
The rest are crazy about him. Just because the flavor "not like everyone else": leather case from the Soviet Zenit camera, cowboy jacket made of genuine bovine leather.

Nasomatto Black Afgano
The black Afghan is popular with men for the very audible notes of hashish. Girls are not particularly like that, although radical fans of niche perfumery are just crazy about it. Whether this is true or just a show of perfumery - I don't know. But it also causes a lot of controversy, more because of the musk.
Very persistent, but few people passing by makes an impression.

Beaufort London 1805 Tonnerre
Compared to him, the Black Afghan is just a child. A very rough, awful and at the same time catchy scent.
Barbecue, campfire smoke, gunpowder, soot, salt, sea breeze, sour metal, and rancid balm. As if in a burnt house located on the shores of the Baltic Sea, traditional healers overcooked meat.
And someone likes it: impudence, brutality, and in general, after Tonnerre, no extreme niche scent will scare you.

Amouage journey
For some, it was like doused with gasoline and put on a burnt rubber tire and put in an old reserved seat. For others - old church incense. For the rest - dusty apricots and peaches, delicate honey.
Journey from Amuage literally hints to us that each of us has a different sense of smell, and there is no perfect scent, there is only a trained one.

Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540
I always leave the most interesting at the end. No one is indifferent to him. This is the fifth horseman of the Apocalypse who led the perfume market to entropy. On the other hand, this fragrance is considered the most beautiful of modern ones, and the trail of evernil in sugar has filled not only the Moscow metro, but also conquers the regions of our immense by leaps and bounds.
Perfume critics are crying, baccarat is killing their receptors. Poor people, even in a recent interview after the mention of Baccarat, they had to wear gas masks.
Sweet berries with pine needles, Soviet cockerels on a stick or medical bandages with blood - everyone hears it differently. But bright. It's very bright.
Those in the "industry theme" shy away from this fragrance. But the fact is the fact - it is very popular, the demand for it is colossal. What does it mean? Maybe perfume experts need to reconsider something in their work?
The scent gained its legendary status very quickly thanks to social networks. One of the indicators of success - many began to fake it. And the suffering from him has not subsided for more than a year. It is also a victory for synthetic components. And there is nothing wrong with that.
