Shoppers reveal the worst smelling perfumes... and why they are done 'blind buying'

While there are many fragrances that are universally beloved, with people spending hundreds to snap them up, which are the ones that are truly hated by women?

On Reddit, perfume devotees discussed their biggest fragrance regrets, talking about the scents they spent mega-bucks on without testing first.

One woman explained that she bought 12 fragrances in a year 10 were 'blind buys.'

'I would probably wear two of them regularly and they were cheap,' she said, before admitting, 'everything else was an expensive mistake.'

She explained that from now on, she'll be sampling all of her perfumes before buying them.

'There's a world of difference between what I imagine a fragrance to be and actually sampling it,' she continued. 'These fragrances are nothing what I imagined them to be and it's better to waste 10 bucks on a bad sample than $200 on full bottle I can't finish.'

Some of her biggest fragrance regrets are options from Juicy Couture.

Another she found simply didn't smell right on her body - BDK's $250 Gris Charnel, which 'was praised a lot but it's got this cumin-like note I didn't expect and just doesn't work with my skin chemistry.'

Seems like kind of a "duhh" moment.
