1.0 out of 5 starsThe most nauseating thing i’ve ever smelled
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2023
So i felt like i had to write this, given that the large amount of positive reviews made me feel reassured in buying this- that even if i wasnt fond of it- it would still probably be an agreeable scent.
I would consider myself a fragrance aficionado, and have smelled many products that i dislike over the years, but i can’t remember one that made me want to throw up on the spot quite like this. I threw it out immediately and scrubbed and scrubbed, took both a shower and a bath, to get the smell off from the wrist test i did. I treated it more like a cancer than a perfume. The smell does remind me of old spice, however i dont even mind the smell of old spice as a deodorants- somehow this has a similar scent profile but just feels like so much more of an assault on the senses. It is not even worth its cheap price, and i feel like paul sebastian owes me money for all the grief this caused me- because i still find myself catching little glimpses of the scent and gagging everytime. This product smells like a headache and being sick and chronic depression encapsulated in a bottle.
There were a number of reviews insisting that random people or their girlfriends or whoever loved the smell, and even if thats true i guarantee you this stuff is repelling more people than its attracting. I dont think its just me either as i made 2 other people smell it who had a similar nauseated response… 1 star is far more than this product deserves, frankly. If you like it though, good for you…
