My wife hates anything prior to 1997 and anything after 2009. Basically she enjoys fragrances she smelled from Jr. High through college and Grad school, but no more than two sprays, one if it’s a projector. So I toss my daily fragrance in my bag and spray on when I get to work. I’m first in and normally two hours before anyone else so if it’s a screamer it has time to calm down.

Great vid Gerard! The consistent pattern makes me think there might be some kind of subconscious influence at play. 😊 If that's the case, it wouldn't be difficult to transmute that same emotional energy into appreciation by reprogramming the mind in a specific state. After all, there are scents some of us initially hate that eventually turn into likes or loves naturally for one reason or another. The trick is to first identify the aversion drivers and let go of them to prevent ongoing reinforcement. From there, many things are possible. 😉

Yea those salty aquatics aren’t for everyone

It’s all subjective, from one individual to another. Like anything that teases the senses. I myself am not the biggest fan of sweet vanilla notes, unless it’s blended right and not overpowering. They tend to be more feminine-leaning the stronger they are. Ladies seem to react better to fresh/clean aromatic scents on men, and this has been my experience too. If you’re going in the spicier or much sweeter direction, opinions are more divided I’ve found. Personally, when it comes to darker fragrances, I prefer spicy over something too sweet. Notes like cardamom, nutmeg, various peppers, etc, more than cinnamon and vanilla. And if done right, tobacco and other boozy notes. Have also been recently really enjoying leather/suede notes too, but once again, as long as they’re not overpowering.

@gerardgeorge

Hey Gerard. Dump her immediately. LOL. I have all except for the Spicebomb. My wife has no problem with any of them. I really can't think of one she really hates. Gucci Guilty Absolute might be the closest to a no. If you want to try a different type of Vanilla scent, try Profumo di Firenze XXV Marzo. It is more of a creamy, spicy ,not too in your face take on vanilla. I almost always get asked what I am wearing. It is a good work scent too.Thanks for the video.😮
