do you make scents that you really cant stand?

[Bukawww]

Pumpkin Spice
Cinnamon Buns or anything like it (WSP)
Patchouli (doesn't matter what its mixed with).

I've had to make all 3 in the past week and all I can say is I had to break out a batch of peppermint AND spearmint euc REAL QUICK like in order to interrupt the puke fest (it doesn't help that I'm 6 months pregnant, I'm sure).

I do not really care for patchouli but I can live with it. The 3 that will NEVER make into my shower are:
1. coconut
2. coconut
and ummmm coconut
I absolutely hate anything with even a trace of it

I like blended lavender, but not straight up.

I also really can't stand the imitation 'cakey' smells- angel cake, pie crust, those types of scents. They gross me out for some reason and make me feel sick when I smell them.

Go figure though, those are the ones people looooove.

I wanted to add that this was Symphony Scents Cool Water and I soaped it with goat milk. Maybe it just wasn't compatible with milk but would otherwise smell nice.

However, I have yet to meet an EO I didn't like, including patchouli and lavender.

This is me.

I like most FOs until I make them up in a product. Then it's too much for me and I don't like them anymore for some reason... can't stand the smell.

If I receive a soap from someone else that is FO scented, it doesn't bother me at all!

I would have to say Relaxation FO from Natures garden. It is suppose to be like a lavender scent, but it. stinks.. :| :x

I am not a fan of fruity scents. As luck would have it "Love Spell" was one of my biggest sellers.

Almond FO! just the thought of it makes me sick. I quit making it, i don't care if a customer loves it or not, it makes me sick. lol!

I hate pine tar. It my boyfriend loves it. I mad him a batch a weeks ago and my whole house smelled like it.... Disgusting! I was so happy to give it to him last week!

I am laughing quite a bit whilst reading the posts on this topic. You know, when I eat cilantro, it tastes like old Ivory soap in my mouth. Even a little bit of cilantro makes the whole meal regurgitatable. I know something like 2/3 of humans don't get that soapy taste out of cilantro and in fact, some actually like a LOT of it on their food. I wonder if the like/dislike of scents has at its root something biological. In other words, if we discount the bad experiences we had with a particular scent (bad night drinking black zambuca really puts you off of anise for life, for example), I wonder if like/dislike of scents runs in families. Scents I think reek - my mother generally thinks reeks too. I'm just saying...

I cannot STAND Patchouli. To me, it smells like a tavern, or a bar. Kind of that sour smell they get. ew.

Scents I Can't Stand

The customer is always right....so they get what they want!

I do NOT like patchouli, lemongrass ginger and lavender, but those are my best sellers.

I'm glad when they go out the door!

I've got a few that I'm not crazy about, but the one that I can not stand is cucumber. I keep trying to make it, I've got a few that ask for it, but I've decided after this last batch that I'm just not doing it again...to me it is just a sickening smell. Ewww!!

:wink: Try cucumber wasabi.

I dislike a lot of EO's, straight lavender FO and straight rose FO...

agreed on this one. bought it and soaped it, gave the entire loaf away. couldn't stand it. i also can't stand Fresh Ginger from NG.

love lavender EO, straight, blended with patchouli, whatever, but haven't found a decent FO yet that does the EO justice. any thoughts?
