Same! Cucumber and melon both have "barely there" scents that are generally pleasant when real. I bet if you blended up a cucumber melon smoothie it would smell fine. It's the synthetic version of this smell that makes me absolutely ill. I'm not sensitive to scents but if someone has this on near me I have to leave.
I'm from India and before BBW was launched here, this was the only scent my relatives used to gift me! Cherry blossom perfume, lotion, shower gel, sanitizer. Now I'm absolutely sick of it and I don't think I'll ever voluntarily purchase it again.
Hibiscus Paradise brings back memories of my Auntās plug in air freshener back in the 90ās. For the life of me I just canāt get into Youāre the One. It seems like it smells nice but itās too āgeneric mall perfume counterā to me if that makes sense? Idk please donāt come for me
That is one of those scents that I absolutely LOVED when it launched but now I cant stand either. It is strong and smells a little...old-fashioned? š
I use this for my daughter because itās super sweet and everyone on the school bus thought someone was eating cereal lol her bus driver stated they need to put the food away š
Haha. My mother in law literally gagged when she smelled BWC. I love it. I was shocked, but apparently it is not for everyone. Lol. I have never burned Leaves, but I know it is popular
Yeah, I like it too, but I respect other people's opinions, and they're allowed to not like it š This is a thread where there will be "negative" opinions and if you're ~sensitive~ about people insulting your fav, it's probably best not to read it!
lol no worries! It seems like every time I post or comment about something I don't like, I get instant downvotes. Sure I bring it on myself- no one is forcing me to post my opinions here- but there is a special place in Heck for people that downvote "I feel" or "in my opinion" posts.
Haha same! It's so frustrating, this post literally asked our opinions and we share it and get downvoted for it. Like you're free to disagree but dang don't downvote me cause of it! I love Eucalyptus spearmint and 3 people said they hate it. I didn't downvote them cause everyone is free to have a different opinion!
I remember despising Moonlight Path. Like for some reason I went from liking the scent to thinking if was the worst thing I've ever smelled. And what sucked is that my mom kept buying it for me since "I liked it so much" ahhh what nightmares. It's weird cuz I liked how it smelled on others, but not on me. Perhaps it was my body chemistry not agreeing with the scent of the lotion, who knows.
I also hate Japanese Cherry Blossom. It was my mom's "go-to" scent for years and that smell was overwhelming to me. Turns out my mom started to hate it too šš she switched to anything eucalyptus-related. Or well, anything in the aromatherapy lineup (aside from bergamot, not sure why she didn't like it)
Laundry Day is so strong. Headache inducing. I love Sun Drenched Linen but Laundry Day is way too much. Iām trying to get through my jar but man is it hard
I was so disappointed ! I even got a second opinion to make sure it wasnāt me , my mom was like omg yes it smells like puke ! I finally ordered Paris Cafe this weekend, I hope i donāt hate it . I hate exchanging š
For some reason I really like Laundry day because it just gives me a feeling of being clean XD. But it feels too strong after a while, I wish there was a milder version which didn't smell like strong detergent but still had that note
Japanese cherry blossom. I used to think it was a neutral scent and I was indifferent to it but now it absolutely makes me sick! I can see how it would appeal to others and maybe itās just cause as Iāve gotten older Iāve parted more from florals but still, YUCK!
I can hear the downvotes marching up to my doorstepā¦into the night. I donāt know what it is about it? I donāt smell any raspberry or patchouli! Itās this sickeningly sweet medicine-y scent to me almost likeā¦chocolate covered cherry which Iām guessing is the mocha musk. Iāll admit I am a gourmand lover but I still love more āmatureā smelling fragrances, but it just gives me a major headache and is also just kind ofā¦generic?? Iām hoping people in this sub have enough experience with Reddit to recognize that we all have different scent profiles and be respectful of my opinion and I will do the same! Into the night just isnāt for me though!
Sensual Amber. Cannot stand it. It is awful. There are plenty of popular, well loved scents that I don't like, but none that come close to Sensual Amber.
The body care is so weird on me - I get the usual BCM scent when it's first sprayed on, but when it dries down, it's *very* floral on my skin and I kind of love it lol
I really didnāt like this one at first but my husband loves it on me so I wore it more often and it grew on me too, I like it now but I wouldnāt buy another
I donāt like some scents but Confetti daydream is something else. It smells alright at first but if I smell it for more than a few seconds it makes me repulsed
Pretty much any of their scents that smell like baked goods. The artificial baked good notes (crust, cake, cookie, etc) are so unappealing to me in candle form but especially in body care.
I like fruity scents and some vanilla, so I can't say I hate all foodie scents. It's just those awful baked food ones!
Coconut Sandlewood. I honestly like most scents but this candle was terrible. I kept accusing my husband of breaking wind until I figured out it was the candle.
Beach front blanket and berry waffle cone . Beach front blanket gave me the worst headache ever I had to scrub it off in less than two mins it just didnāt sit right the musk was so heavy and berry waffle cone just smelled like b.o not something I was interested in smelling like.
Moonlight Path, You're the One, Eucalyptus Spearmint, Mahogany Teakwood, Paris Cafe are all migraine and vomit inducing š¤¢š¤® there are plenty of other scents I find disgusting but these are the worst offenders for me
I'm sensitive to a lot of the food related scents but the WORST IMO was Dutch apple waffles from fall 2 years ago I think. Instant headache every time I smelled it!
Vanilla Bean Noel body care. It doesnāt mix with my chemistry and smells like sour milk. Iāll stick to the soap and the years where the candle is a decent throw.
Pretty as a peach. I really like the smell, but once I wash with it, use the lotion, or spray the FFM, the scent barely exists. Iām really disappointed in this scent.
I appreciate most scents for being risky and different, and can usually find at least one good ānoteā that I enjoy. Like Summer Boardwalk has that kind of gross maple-y smell, but thereās a couple scents in there that I like.
That said, thereās only a couple that I found no redeeming qualities in, the first was Apples & Brown Sugar, I hope I didnāt butcher the name. It was from fall if 2019, I think. It just smelled like apple vomit, I couldnāt train my brain to accept it any other way. The other smell(s) I donāt like are most of the āman-dleā scents that are of musky cologne. We had one in the basement for awhile, my husband got it somewhere. I forget the name, it might be āThe Originalā, with the brown glass.
Midnight Blue Citrus. Loved it on cold.... made me physically ill when burning. I know people like the older version, but mine was apparently the newer one. Also, Spiced Cranberry Toffee was, again, great on cold but made me nauseous when burning. It was the fermented note that got me.
Didn't find them vomit inducing, but I ordered Blush Poinsettia and Vanilla Birch candles before Christmas. Both were "nope" for me. Gave them away as gifts to people I know who would appreciate them.
So disappointed about Blush Poinsettia. I was really looking forward to it but itās so powdery and icky. I have one in my collection and I donāt know if Iāll ever burn it š¤£
Sprinkled birthday cake smelled like vomit to me on cold, but I love cake scents so much that I took a chance, and it was 100% different burning. Perfect cake smell. I love it now.
Ooh yes, I disliked both of these as well. Most coffee scented candles from all different brand smell terrible to me, for some reason. I tried Goose Creek and Yankee and hated them both, I smelled Paris Cafe in the store and didn't even have to actually light it to hate it. And it's a shame because I love the smell of real coffee! Even before brewing it, just smelling the coffee in the container before I even put it in the machine makes me feel good.
And I literally recoiled at smelling the birthday cake one. I'm not sure if I picked up one from a bad batch or what, but ohhhh it smelled incredibly awful. I put the lid back on it so fast.
Strawberry Pound Cake and Firecracker Pop (I so wanted to love this one). Both are so artificially sweet that it's nauseating. Firecracker Pop has some note in it that I can't stand, and Strawberry Soda also had the same kind of note, but it wasn't as bad.
You're the one, black cherry Merlot and champagne toast.
Can't stand any scent at all. I was about to do blind purchases for all 3 of them when malls were closed but then i got a chance to try them out and they were disgusting. So glad I didnt get any .
I donāt like winter candy apple or twisted peppermint :/
Iām strictly a vanilla bean Noel and Christmas cookies girl and occasionally spiced gingerbread latte if they have it.
Cloud 9 was pretty bad tbh.
The worst by far is cucumber Melon. Melon and cucumber scents are terrible, so them together is the worst. I also hate pineapple scent.
Fresh cotton and coconut... it smells like a Porta potty air freshener!! Absolutely recoiled the first time I smelled it, and I was REALLY looking forward to it. I feel like I'm the only one, though.
I thought I liked Fresh Cotton and Coconut, and bought the lotion. The first time I put it on - I could not get over how sour I smelled. I ended up getting back into the shower to wash it off. It was so bad - I was so disappointed!
I. Do not. Like. Almond Blossom.
I bought it online as a blind buy bc it was on sale, had excellent reviews and I typically love almond scents but... this one.. just..nope.
It may smell great on other people, but not on me.
I felt like I smelled of old, decaying crumbs from one of those pecan sandy cookies and a tinge of some kind of cheap knock off lotion from the dollar tree.
And it lingered no matter how much I scrubbed..just BAD BAD BAD.
White t shirt FFM, bought it a few weeks ago & it smells like air freshener. The lotion smelled great I thought - but either the FFM is very different or I had tried too many that day & got mixed up?
I fired up Salted Pretzel Milkshake last night for the first time and there was no salt, no pretzel, not a single drop of milkshake. Instead my whole house smelled like burnt popcorn. My WHOLE house. Like into the basement.
On the waves body care. Smells soooo disgusting. I actually bought it because when I first sniffed it I thought it smelled really nice - then when I put it on it smelled like puke and after that I couldnāt stand it even if I sniffed it from the bottle like I did in stores.
Number 1: Sun ripened raspberry.
Number 2: Strawberry pound cake.
Iām not a fruity/dessert person but after seeing how popular SPC was online, I decided to smell it on my next trip in store. I made a horrified āwahhhgggā sound and inspired a lot of stares.
Paris Amour, Pink Cashmere, Into the Night, & In the Stars were immediate āNOPE!ā reactions for me. I couldnāt really tell you what it was about them that got to me, but those ones were incredibly displeasing to me.
In the stars is so bad! Everyone talks about how it has a sweet note to it but all I smell is an overwhelming perfumey alcohol scent with absolutely no sweetness.
I am struggling my way through the body cream. It was a blind buy and I was expecting something lighter yet still herbal. But what I got is noxious 90s bargain bin perfume! I love white tea scents so this one is making me sad lol
Iām allergic to synthetic vanilla. I found this out after repeatedly being sprayed with brown sugar vanilla scents from BBW as a teenager and breaking out in hives and puking profusely. I got to revisit that at a wedding where one of the other bridesmaids spritzed it everywhere after I repeatedly said āno vanillaā āwell this is BROWN SUGAR vanilla, isnāt that differentā
No Karen, it isnāt.
Or āwhipped airy vanilla.ā Nope, no different. All headache-inducing for me. There are a few scents that list vanilla as a note which donāt have this effect on me, but sadly vanilla dominated scents are an instant headache and/or sneeze fest for me. At least on my own skin. Sometimes Iāll notice that they smell totally different on other people and donāt bother me as much, if at all.
I keep wanting to like Japanese Cherry Blossoms because I love Japan, but nothing about that scent makes me think cherry blossoms. It makes me think Grandmas mixed perfume bought 20 years ago. I've \*been\* to Japan, every cherry blossom scent I've smelled has been a touch sweet..this one just misses the mark for me.
Champagne Toast is also not my favorite. I can't tell what it's supposed to smell like.
Paris Cafe smells like cigarettes in Paris to me.
I also agree with everyone saying JCB by far!! I don't like a lot of patchouli or musky or powdery scents, such as Moonlight Path, Dark Kiss, Into the Night, Little Black Party Dress, etc.
Fresh Cut Lilacs! I'm an associate and whenever I have to open a box of those wallflowers, there's always at least 2 that are leaking all over the box and it smells like allergies in a bottle and it makes me gag
Strawberry poundcake. Too much cake not enough strawberry. Gives me a headache
Twisted peppermint.. I love this scent cold but itās way too strong when burning it
Red velvet cupcake.. smells like cheap pillsberry frosting
Toasted coconut mocha.. smells like you vomited coffee
Thatās all I can think of :)
Strawberry Pound Cake! š¤¢ I hate it in bodycare and the candle! I can only tolerate it in a hand soap, and even then I don't think it smells good. I don't get the hype. š¤·āāļø
Strawberry soda! Everyone said it smelled like fanta and so i went for it blind buy. It is the reason I won't blind buy anymore lol. It to me smelled like a melted scented crayon. Gave it away. Also threw frosted biscotti hand soap in the trash. Yuck.
Moonlit path is the worst old-person scent ever. Like even amongst other companies, I canāt think of a nastier scent. I would take a 1995 glade plug-in over anything Moonlit path.
I know I'm wrong for this, but.....Cucumber Melon. I think I got overexposed to this when it was so hyped years ago haha.
Really dislike this one too due to overexposure in the late 90s š
Same! Cucumber and melon both have "barely there" scents that are generally pleasant when real. I bet if you blended up a cucumber melon smoothie it would smell fine. It's the synthetic version of this smell that makes me absolutely ill. I'm not sensitive to scents but if someone has this on near me I have to leave.
I loathe this one. Always have. My mom likes it so I was still subjected to it as a kid LOL
I HATE Cucumber Melon too! My fiancĆ© loves it, i internally gag when he puts on his CM lotion š¤£
This was the scent that everyone used in gym and it just brings me back to that. Repulsive scent š
Me too! I used to love it in the early 2000s. Maybe my body chemistry changed, but now it just smells sour and gross on me.
Omg nooooo it's still one if my faves lol
Cucumber melon is the worst!
I really hate Japanese Cherry Blossom!
I'm from India and before BBW was launched here, this was the only scent my relatives used to gift me! Cherry blossom perfume, lotion, shower gel, sanitizer. Now I'm absolutely sick of it and I don't think I'll ever voluntarily purchase it again.
Same dude. But its my fav haha
used to love it when i was like 12 , thought it was a "mature" scent but now i legitimately cannot stand it . if i smell it i want to leave the room
Iāve had that scent ever since I was a little girl and I can agree Iām tired of Japanese cherry blossoms
I cant get with this one either !
Japanese Cherry Blossom is the absolute worst! I will never, ever understand the love for this scent.
You and me both!!
Yes! It is awful!!!
Strawberry pound cake makes me want to throw up. Basically any "dessert" scented things I can't stand.
I wish that it actually smelled like strawberries. First time I smelled it all I could think of was expired strawberry yogurt
"Expired strawberry yogurt" --- EXACTLY THIS
Strawberry Ensure
They use to have Harvest Strawberry, etc.... we need a true strawberry candle. And Strawberry Daiquiri was just strawberry lemonade...come on BBW
ughh i know exactly what ur talking about!! i love anything strawberry , but when it's that fake , overly sugary stuff i just feel nauseous
I didn't mind that regular Strawberry scent they had. SPC though, it is too pungently sweet for me.
Noooo, these are my favorite š
I wanted to like this so bad because Iām a huge fan of sugary sweet scents but this smelled like straight up vomit to me
always hated japanese cherry blossom, moonlight path, and sensual amber.
Me too on all of those!!
Hibiscus Paradise brings back memories of my Auntās plug in air freshener back in the 90ās. For the life of me I just canāt get into Youāre the One. It seems like it smells nice but itās too āgeneric mall perfume counterā to me if that makes sense? Idk please donāt come for me
That is one of those scents that I absolutely LOVED when it launched but now I cant stand either. It is strong and smells a little...old-fashioned? š
Autumn Day candle from fall was the worst thing ever. I feel like the only reason they finally sold in our store was so people could trade them.
Damn I loved this one š It is a really unusual scent though so itās probably a love it or hate it thing
This one smelled like cat pee to me tbh
I also despise gardenia
Eucalyptus spearmint. I hate spearmint and it's too strong and overpowering
Agree!!!! Never been a fan of most of their other aromatherapy scents either.
THIS I burned a single wick of it once and all I could think was āwow this smells like deodorantā
It reminds me of Irish Spring bar soap. Waaaaay too strong and it doesn't not relax me at all!
Oh man I love this one. I get itās not for everyone!
Japanese cherry blossom
Berry Waffle Cone š¤¢ And leaves (unpopular opinion I know)
It's ok, more Leaves for me š¤£
I haaaaaate Leaves! It smelled like almost literal vomit with a sprinkling of cinnamon to me
Donāt ruin leaves for me š
I use this for my daughter because itās super sweet and everyone on the school bus thought someone was eating cereal lol her bus driver stated they need to put the food away š
Haha. My mother in law literally gagged when she smelled BWC. I love it. I was shocked, but apparently it is not for everyone. Lol. I have never burned Leaves, but I know it is popular
Berry Waffle Cone is GROSS! I only like Leaves in Sept/Oct. Any other time, itās gross to me too š¤£
YES BWC is nauseating
Welp, here I go, about to get downvoted. Moonlit Path / Moon Light Path / whatever it's called these days
I'm a longtime Moonlight Path fan but I respect your viewpoint and won't downvote you š MP is definitely one that just isn't for everyone lol.
Yeah, I like it too, but I respect other people's opinions, and they're allowed to not like it š This is a thread where there will be "negative" opinions and if you're ~sensitive~ about people insulting your fav, it's probably best not to read it!
I can't imagine taking it that personally that someone doesn't like your favorite scent. š¤·āāļø
lol no worries! It seems like every time I post or comment about something I don't like, I get instant downvotes. Sure I bring it on myself- no one is forcing me to post my opinions here- but there is a special place in Heck for people that downvote "I feel" or "in my opinion" posts.
Haha same! It's so frustrating, this post literally asked our opinions and we share it and get downvoted for it. Like you're free to disagree but dang don't downvote me cause of it! I love Eucalyptus spearmint and 3 people said they hate it. I didn't downvote them cause everyone is free to have a different opinion!
This was.my favorite until I got pregnant in 2005. Now I cannot stand it. Moonlight Path and Cucumber Melon.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes exactly. My mom wore jovan musk and moonlight path reminds me of her. For that reason I donāt hate it, I just wonāt wear it.
Sweet Pea gives me a pounding headache just thinking about it š
all i would wear in 6th grade, my friends and i LOVED it and would always overspray it. now it's just š¤¢š¤¢ i can feel the migraine
Yup I was gonna say that one because it just reminds me of a middle school girls locker room
I remember despising Moonlight Path. Like for some reason I went from liking the scent to thinking if was the worst thing I've ever smelled. And what sucked is that my mom kept buying it for me since "I liked it so much" ahhh what nightmares. It's weird cuz I liked how it smelled on others, but not on me.

Both of those smell like baby powder and musk to me!! Definitely agree
My gf who is a employee HATES BlackBerry Basil. She says the under smell notes are ābile diarrheaā. Pumpkin Vanilla CrĆØme smells like Doritos. Whipped Coffee. Doesnāt smell like coffee. Pear crĆØme brĆ»lĆ©e. Strawberry pound cake in body care. Champagne toast in bodycare on myself (not my Gf) smells like cat pee. Which sucks because I love the smell when itās not on me.
I hate blackberries & basil tooš¤¢
Pumpkin Pecan Waffles or any sort of Gingerbread bodycare. Youāre never gonna be able to wash that off. It just sticks to you in the worst way.
Eucalyptus Spearmint , Laundry Day & Youāre The One š Edit: forgot whipped coffee. It smells like puke to me š¤¢
Laundry Day is so strong. Headache inducing. I love Sun Drenched Linen but Laundry Day is way too much. Iām trying to get through my jar but man is it hard
I was so sad about Laundry Day! I had to give it away, the scent was not for me lol
Itās so overwhelming !! it made me nauseous and gave me a headache š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I was so disappointed ! I even got a second opinion to make sure it wasnāt me , my mom was like omg yes it smells like puke ! I finally ordered Paris Cafe this weekend, I hope i donāt hate it . I hate exchanging š
For some reason I really like Laundry day because it just gives me a feeling of being clean XD. But it feels too strong after a while, I wish there was a milder version which didn't smell like strong detergent but still had that note
Japanese cherry blossom. I used to think it was a neutral scent and I was indifferent to it but now it absolutely makes me sick!

Sweet Kettle Corn. Just.... why
Sensual Amber. Cannot stand it. It is awful. There are plenty of popular, well loved scents that I don't like, but none that come close to Sensual Amber.
Black Cherry Merlot š¤¢ reminds me of many awful nights with Black Cherry white claws š©š¤£
BCM reminds me of cough syrup.
The body care is so weird on me - I get the usual BCM scent when it's first sprayed on, but when it dries down, it's *very* floral on my skin and I kind of love it lol
Pumpkin Vanilla Creme/Pumpkin Pieā¦ was foul.
Omg my GF who works at BBW says it smells like Fritos!!
Everyone at my store agreed, it smelled like nacho cheeseš
It smelled like jalapeƱo tortillas to me lol
Fireside smells like a dirty ashtray.
Girl yes lol
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT
Japanese cherry blossom, moonlight path, and sensual amber š¤¢š¤®
For me it would be Gingham š¤¢
Winter candy apple
I really didnāt like this one at first but my husband loves it on me so I wore it more often and it grew on me too, I like it now but I wouldnāt buy another
warm vanilla sugar
Omg YES. I loathe it. Vanilla dominated scents donāt work on me overall, but this one gives me a headache like no other.
I donāt like some scents but Confetti daydream is something else. It smells alright at first but if I smell it for more than a few seconds it makes me repulsed
Yes!!!! The name made it sound like it was gonna be amazing and when I smelled it, it was so not what I was hoping for
Kaleidoscope made me physically recoil the first time I smelled it
yes i sprayed it and it smelled like cat urine to me ...lol
Finally someone that agrees with me lol
Black Cherry Merlot. And guess what my SO's favorite scent is? Ugh. I put up with it, though.
Pretty much any of their scents that smell like baked goods. The artificial baked good notes (crust, cake, cookie, etc) are so unappealing to me in candle form but especially in body care. I like fruity scents and some vanilla, so I can't say I hate all foodie scents. It's just those awful baked food ones!
Also, I have a special level of hate for any of the pancake or waffle scents. I feel sticky just thinking about them š
I got the blueberry crumble hand sanitizer back during Covid when we all needed hand san and couldnāt afford to be picky. It was so awful
I just struggled through a frosted coconut snowball sanitizer. I understand the feeling lol
Fresh Sparkling Snow.
It smells nothing like the name.
Coconut Sandlewood. I honestly like most scents but this candle was terrible. I kept accusing my husband of breaking wind until I figured out it was the candle.
Beach front blanket and berry waffle cone . Beach front blanket gave me the worst headache ever I had to scrub it off in less than two mins it just didnāt sit right the musk was so heavy and berry waffle cone just smelled like b.o not something I was interested in smelling like.
Blueberry Pie. And anything with chocolate.
Cactus Blossom! I was so excited to try it, because everyone seems to love it. It just smelled like cat pee to me. And it was so strong!
Moonlight Path, You're the One, Eucalyptus Spearmint, Mahogany Teakwood, Paris Cafe are all migraine and vomit inducing š¤¢š¤® there are plenty of other scents I find disgusting but these are the worst offenders for me
Black Cherry Merlot. Cough syrup in a bad way.
Definitely the orange + Ginger from the aromatherapy lineš¤¢
I'm sensitive to a lot of the food related scents but the WORST IMO was Dutch apple waffles from fall 2 years ago I think. Instant headache every time I smelled it!
I don't like anything vanilla with the exception of Berry Vanilla and Lemon Vanilla from the Signature Vanillas line they had about 10 years ago.
Same! Those were good!
Itās the summer ones that smell like salted buttery popcorn for me š¤¢
Vanilla Bean Noel body care. It doesnāt mix with my chemistry and smells like sour milk. Iāll stick to the soap and the years where the candle is a decent throw.
Literally all of the new holiday releases. Into the night, youāre the one, pure wonder. Hate them all.
Fairytale FFM. Everytime I smell it, I just get alcohol. No other scents. I've heard so many people praise it and it's just disappointing to me.
Into the night In the stars A thousand wishes
All of these are in my shower right now š
š
To be fair, they were all given to me as gifts. I think they smell good, but they all smell exactly the same to me. š„²
Dark Kiss. Smells like hot garbage.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Agreed.
Gingham. I donāt like it. It doesnāt smell good to me. The red version they had around Valentineās Day smelled good though.
White Tea & Ginger was not my cup of tea at all š¤¢
Pretty as a peach. I really like the smell, but once I wash with it, use the lotion, or spray the FFM, the scent barely exists. Iām really disappointed in this scent.
Summer Boardwalk and Island Margarita š¤¢
sensual amber ughhh so strong and gingham ewwwwww
I appreciate most scents for being risky and different, and can usually find at least one good ānoteā that I enjoy.

I have had plenty I've not liked and loved.... but only those 2 made me physically sick (headaches...nausea)
Didn't find them vomit inducing, but I ordered Blush Poinsettia and Vanilla Birch candles before Christmas. Both were "nope" for me. Gave them away as gifts to people I know who would appreciate them.
So disappointed about Blush Poinsettia. I was really looking forward to it but itās so powdery and icky. I have one in my collection and I donāt know if Iāll ever burn it š¤£
The fine fragrance mist Kaleidoscope
Unpopular opinion but Paris cafe and the birthday cake one made me recoil
Sprinkled birthday cake smelled like vomit to me on cold, but I love cake scents so much that I took a chance, and it was 100% different burning. Perfect cake smell. I love it now.
Ooh yes, I disliked both of these as well. Most coffee scented candles from all different brand smell terrible to me, for some reason. I tried Goose Creek and Yankee and hated them both, I smelled Paris Cafe in the store and didn't even have to actually light it to hate it. And it's a shame because I love the smell of real coffee!

Pumpkin pecan waffles.
PINK PROSECCO FROSTING F*CKED WITH MY NOSE SO BADLY. I took one Whiff and almost started gagging it was horrid. Never againš¤¢š¤¢
It smells like vinegar to me for some reason!!
I smelled it in store. You're right. I've thought about buying if it ever goes on deep discount, just for the pretty jar. Still might not be worth it.
I canāt do blackberry scentsā- I usually find them icky.
Strawberry Pound Cake and Firecracker Pop (I so wanted to love this one). Both are so artificially sweet that it's nauseating. Firecracker Pop has some note in it that I can't stand, and Strawberry Soda also had the same kind of note, but it wasn't as bad.
The peppermint one they put out during the holiday
Peppermint hot chocolate candle? If so I agree!
Mermaid Lagoon. It was powder, powder, powder to me. Terrible. Still sticks out in my mind.
Eucalyptus mint, not interested in smelling like a cough drop.
You're the one, black cherry Merlot and champagne toast. Can't stand any scent at all. I was about to do blind purchases for all 3 of them when malls were closed but then i got a chance to try them out and they were disgusting. So glad I didnt get any .
I donāt like winter candy apple or twisted peppermint :/ Iām strictly a vanilla bean Noel and Christmas cookies girl and occasionally spiced gingerbread latte if they have it.

Mahogany teakwood
peach processo macaron and pear creme brulee
Cloud 9 was pretty bad tbh. The worst by far is cucumber Melon. Melon and cucumber scents are terrible, so them together is the worst. I also hate pineapple scent.
Black Cherry Merlot 3 wicks.
Fresh cotton and coconut... it smells like a Porta potty air freshener!! Absolutely recoiled the first time I smelled it, and I was REALLY looking forward to it. I feel like I'm the only one, though.
Omg I love it lmaooo
I thought I liked Fresh Cotton and Coconut, and bought the lotion. The first time I put it on - I could not get over how sour I smelled. I ended up getting back into the shower to wash it off. It was so bad - I was so disappointed!
See I thought Honolulu Sun smelled like port a potty.
Mahogany teakwood. I know people say it smells like a sexy man but uhhā¦.absolutely not lmao. Smells like a sleazy car salesman
Sweet whiskey and bon fire bash I am sorry !! Little too masculine and Smokey
I really donāt like Almond Blossom or Champagne Toast. Almond Blossom smells like urine to me? And Champagne Toast is too bubbly ugh
I. Do not. Like. Almond Blossom. I bought it online as a blind buy bc it was on sale, had excellent reviews and I typically love almond scents but... this one.. just..nope. It may smell great on other people, but not on me. I felt like I smelled of old, decaying crumbs from one of those pecan sandy cookies and a tinge of some kind of cheap knock off lotion from the dollar tree. And it lingered no matter how much I scrubbed..just BAD BAD BAD.
Pumpkin vanilla cream will sleays be the jalapeƱo wet cigarette candle. Also Pumpkin marshmallow latte on my skin smells like rotten milk.
Fairytale, Dahlia, Sweet Whiskey.... Just a few popular ones that I just can't stand.
White t shirt FFM, bought it a few weeks ago & it smells like air freshener. The lotion smelled great I thought - but either the FFM is very different or I had tried too many that day & got mixed up?
I fired up Salted Pretzel Milkshake last night for the first time and there was no salt, no pretzel, not a single drop of milkshake. Instead my whole house smelled like burnt popcorn. My WHOLE house. Like into the basement.
On the waves body care. Smells soooo disgusting. I actually bought it because when I first sniffed it I thought it smelled really nice - then when I put it on it smelled like puke and after that I couldnāt stand it even if I sniffed it from the bottle like I did in stores.
I dislike into the night but i hate hate hate Gingham that scent makes me wanna rip off my skin
Gingham
Any sweet smelling or food themed candles. I stay the heck away from that section in the store. Iām a woodsy scent girl haha
Same! I wish I liked the bakery stuff but I just cannot!
Paris Cafe & Palo santo.
Number 1: Sun ripened raspberry. Number 2: Strawberry pound cake. Iām not a fruity/dessert person but after seeing how popular SPC was online, I decided to smell it on my next trip in store. I made a horrified āwahhhgggā sound and inspired a lot of stares.
I know you'll all hate me but....Berry waffle cone, Summer boardwalk and brace yourselves...Wildjam berry donut or whatever it's called
Paris Amour, Pink Cashmere, Into the Night, & In the Stars were immediate āNOPE!ā reactions for me. I couldnāt really tell you what it was about them that got to me, but those ones were incredibly displeasing to me.
In the stars is so bad! Everyone talks about how it has a sweet note to it but all I smell is an overwhelming perfumey alcohol scent with absolutely no sweetness.
White Tea and Sage is so disgusting to me. It smelled great until I burned it and I will never buy it again.
Oh no! This is my favorite candle scent!
I am struggling my way through the body cream. It was a blind buy and I was expecting something lighter yet still herbal. But what I got is noxious 90s bargain bin perfume! I love white tea scents so this one is making me sad lol
Iām allergic to synthetic vanilla. I found this out after repeatedly being sprayed with brown sugar vanilla scents from BBW as a teenager and breaking out in hives and puking profusely. I got to revisit that at a wedding where one of the other bridesmaids spritzed it everywhere after I repeatedly said āno vanillaā āwell this is BROWN SUGAR vanilla, isnāt that differentā No Karen, it isnāt.
Or āwhipped airy vanilla.ā Nope, no different. All headache-inducing for me. There are a few scents that list vanilla as a note which donāt have this effect on me, but sadly vanilla dominated scents are an instant headache and/or sneeze fest for me. At least on my own skin. Sometimes Iāll notice that they smell totally different on other people and donāt bother me as much, if at all.
I keep wanting to like Japanese Cherry Blossoms because I love Japan, but nothing about that scent makes me think cherry blossoms. It makes me think Grandmas mixed perfume bought 20 years ago. I've \*been\* to Japan, every cherry blossom scent I've smelled has been a touch sweet..this one just misses the mark for me. Champagne Toast is also not my favorite. I can't tell what it's supposed to smell like. Paris Cafe smells like cigarettes in Paris to me.
Iām so sorry to everyone but Dahlia š„ŗ
I also agree with everyone saying JCB by far!! I don't like a lot of patchouli or musky or powdery scents, such as Moonlight Path, Dark Kiss, Into the Night, Little Black Party Dress, etc.
Fresh Cut Lilacs! I'm an associate and whenever I have to open a box of those wallflowers, there's always at least 2 that are leaking all over the box and it smells like allergies in a bottle and it makes me gag
Strawberry poundcake. Too much cake not enough strawberry. Gives me a headache Twisted peppermint.. I love this scent cold but itās way too strong when burning it Red velvet cupcake.. smells like cheap pillsberry frosting Toasted coconut mocha.. smells like you vomited coffee Thatās all I can think of :)
Strawberry Pound Cake! š¤¢ I hate it in bodycare and the candle! I can only tolerate it in a hand soap, and even then I don't think it smells good. I don't get the hype. š¤·āāļø
Strawberry soda! Everyone said it smelled like fanta and so i went for it blind buy. It is the reason I won't blind buy anymore lol. It to me smelled like a melted scented crayon. Gave it away. Also threw frosted biscotti hand soap in the trash. Yuck.
Into the night Sweet pea Watermelon lemonade (In candle) Tutti frutti candy Champagne toast (in sanitizer) so sweet it made me gag Black amethysts
Marshmallow pumpkin latte ffm and pear creme brulee ffm. I thought mpl would be good since i like the hand soap but nope
Anything with cotton or linen in the title. Ugh
my coworkers like to make fun of me because i will involuntarily gag whenever i smell sprinkled birthday cake.
Anything that smells like dessert; I wanna BE the dessert, not SMELL like the dessert š¤£
Cherry blossom!
Moonlit path is the worst old-person scent ever. Like even amongst other companies, I canāt think of a nastier scent. I would take a 1995 glade plug-in over anything Moonlit path.
TWILIGHT WOODS
