Why: Readers say this fragrance is "heavy," "musky" and "so very old." It was "just a little too strong" for one reader's taste, and another reader says it "reminds [her] of Grandma." A third reader who received the fragrance as a gift and dislikes it says, "I only wear it when I'm with the person [who] bought it for me."

Why: Readers say if you are used to other Tocca scents, "you will be disappointed." While the "Stella laundry wash, bath gel, and candle are an amazingly light, sweet citrus blood orange," this fragrance is "entirely too sweet, more like gardenia or lilac." And readers not only dislike how "they're just not consistent," they say this fragrance smells "sour," like it was "stuck in a closet for 100 years." One reader says it "might be right for you, but give it a whirl before you buy!"

Why: The biggest complaint readers had with this fragrance: "I wish it lasted longer." Readers say "it wears off" quickly, and for the price, it should "have more staying power" and "make it through the day." One reader says five minutes after applying it, "I nor anyone else [could] detect any fragrance at all. And I sprayed it liberally." On the other hand, another reader says "this is not a perfume for the weak at heart," as the "heavy scent" made her "a little sick after wearing it for a while."

Why: Readers say this fragrance is "dull," and one reader says "it reminds [her] of the cheap stuff you can buy as gift sets." There are "much better scents out there than this," another reader says. "I really don't like the smell of this body mist at all."
Ever heard of the saying: "Your nose knows?" Whoever invented that phrase hit the nail right on the head. Especially when it comes to perfumes. Many women have found a perfume they absolutely adore -- it can be found both on their dresser and in their purse in a travel size. Likewise, many people have a perfume (and likely more than one) they look at with definite distaste. They flat out refuse to buy it, look at it, or even be around people who wear it.
With that being said, everyone's nose is different. While one woman's nose is sensitive to most scents, another woman's nose knows no bounds. (Try saying that 10 times fast!) So though these fragrances may be the worst-rated according to our readers' opinions, don't let that stop you from trying one of them out. Who knows -- it might turn out to be a match made in nose heaven!
And if your perfume made this list, don't be offended. If you love it, who cares what other people think? We're all for sticking with your faves. But if you're having second thoughts about it, take this perfume personality quiz to find the perfect fragrance for your style. After all, every one should have a signature fragrance -- preferably one that doesn't bother anyone's nose!
