im wondering if anyone else has this problem, or if its even an actually problem instead of my picky nose.
its happened to me two times now. i tried a vial of bulgari black, and i decided that it was one of the best perfumes i had ever smelled, and that its very similar to my all time fave, l'artisan dzing! i used the entire vial over several tests, and it was delicious. i swapped for a decant, and now all i can smell is literally nauseating lapsang tea. ive found that i canot tolerate this smell, and it makes me nauseous every time. this new batch of black smells like dzing! mixed with l'artisan tea for two. (to me, it smells like burnt tea tossed in an ashtray.) btw, the decant is a roll on, so its not an issue of applying it as a spray versus dabbing it on.
ive considered that either the decant or sample had somehow gone off, but the exact thing happened to me with benefit maybe baby, with the same vial, even! the first test drive gave me a juicy apricot fruity scent with a bit of floral and an even scent from application to drydown. the second application from the same vial gave me a totally different floral scent with a touch of apricot, and i didnt like it nearly as much.
so tell me: am i a nut? is it just me? im really sad to have two seemingly perfect scents become disappointing.
