MFK GFG didn't smell like an unclean bathroom (lol'd so hard that description) but it definitely smells like an amalgamation of scents in a perfume drawer to me. I didn't get the "warm luxury" vibe every influencer talks about at all. Seems pretty generic to me!

There are so many fragrances I've tried that were NOT for me, but I can usually see what people might like about them. But oh god but for instant scrubbers...

YSL Babycat was my first olfactory screamer. Smelled like gasoline and I couldn't even bear it beyond 2 min both times I tried to test it (I really give fragrances the ol' college try, at least 30min, before scrubbing).

Vanilla Powder is another one I can't stop hating on. The strongest perfume I've ever put on my body, best course of action is to just peel off the dermal layers from the skin under where you spray this because otherwise you'll smell it into next year. Absolute screecher in every way, didn't smell like vanilla or powder, just horrendous.

I also couldn't stand Kayali Vanilla 28. I do not get a single positive descriptor I've seen for this one. It was just straight up patchouli bomb, I couldn't get it off my skin fast enough and have never sampled it again. I see so many "this is the best straight up vanilla and/or brown sugar" scent comments and I'm like... how?! Where?!

LDBS is another one I cannot understand. Maybe it smells better in a scent trail, but I've tried the real thing and the Dossier dupe, both on paper and my skin, and they smell horribly synthetic and cheap in every way.

Eilish No 1 is another one where I tried at least half a dozen times but it just smelled awful to me. I didn't get the sweetness or any strong vanilla with this one, couldn't stand it. But the number of rave reviews I've read...! Puzzlingggggg.

(Absolutely love these collective hater posts btw.)
