    You guys missed my nemesis! Pinaud Lilac Vegetal is one of the most divisive scents around. I once picked up a bottle in a store that was leaking, and got it on my hand. BIG MISTAKE!!! Instant migraine. It smelled like poison. I washed my hands, and it did nothing. That stuff has some MAJOR staying power.
    I considered cutting off my hand, but I figured it would take too long with my Leatherman multitool. I thought of cutting off my nose, but that could potentially let more Lilac Vegetal in. I came close to jerking the wheel into a ditch a few times, just to make it stop, but I feared not dying right away, and losing the highway breeze that was helping a little.
    Some people say it smells like cat pee. That's a lie. I've lived with a cat. Their urine smells way better than "the Veg." I'd rather live in a house with 100 cats and no litter box than spill one drop of that stuff. It should be outlawed under the Geneva Conventions as a chemical weapon. I'd rather be pepper sprayed repeatedly than ever smell that again.
    You may not believe in God, but that stuff will make you believe in the devil. Other than that, I have no strong feelings on the matter.

      Hey Lee, I can't believe we left out THE VEG! I know I wasn't thinking of scents that are aftershave-only, but this definitely deserves to be on the list, I truly hate that scent.

    I have a deep love for Fougère Gothique and even Darkfall. But I despise many of those like Stag, Pine Tar, Texas on Fire and a few others

      FG and Darkfall have strong followings, of the darker scents, I dig those two!

    I love the scent of B&M TFH: WAR
    Reminds me of my time working in a Foundry 😊

      @onepassben 10 місяців тому +1

      I've noticed that is the trend among guys who like war.. they have spent time around metal. Those that haven't get the cilantro bomb 😅

    Southern Witchcrafts Boonanna. Barf. And I only had a sample.

      Not a fan of banana scents myself.

      Thanks for the heads up I was considering this scent but didn’t love the others I tried by that maker.

    Namkha by lothur is the craziest scent I’ve tried yet. It hits me in the face like a horse stable at 1st but then has earthy & vanilla tones. It’s a wild scent for sure. Made me want to try more lothur soaps since it’s so unique. I can’t tell if I like it or not.

    • @Latherhog
      @Latherhog  10 місяців тому

      Namkha grew on me over time and I really enjoy it. It's actually the most challenging of Lothur's offerings, I'd almost say the other options can all be considered "safe"!

    Stirling Ben Franklin. I happen to really like it, but it’s definitely a scent that would be easy to hate.

    • @Latherhog
      @Latherhog  10 місяців тому +1

      I've had a sample and would agree with you there!

    Chiseled Face Midnight Stag for sure… smells like gun oil and leather… or possibly burnt rubber, you decide 😂

    • @Latherhog
      @Latherhog  10 місяців тому

      All of the above ;)

    • @Stubblemeetssteel

      The chiseled face sampler set on Amazon is the worst smelling soaps I’ve ever smelt 😂😂

    HoM Tobacconist really just smells like Cigarettes.. It's awful.

    to put in my two cents, Proraso RED is a headache inducing scent for me. A&E BOO is so leathtery and not a new leather smell, but it smells like a fat biker that's been riding all day in the sun with fat person stink on the leather.

    • @onepassben
      @onepassben 10 місяців тому +1

      I agree re: the lower scent quality ones. And lmaooooooooo @ your Boo description

    Fougere Gothique from B&M & the entire four horsemen series from them.

    I don't get the hate on Namkha. The only thing I find challenging about it is the rose, if anything.

      I chalk it up to different strokes for different folks.
