We’ve all been there—you see a great bottle, the hype is real, the reviews are glowing... and then you smell that one note that makes you want to scrub it off immediately. I recently realized my #1 dealbreaker by mistake. I picked up Error 416 (Dua’s version of Bad Boy Le Parfum), and that Cannabis/Hemp note is a hard "no" for me. It doesn’t matter how well the rest of the scent is blended; if that's in there, I’m out. It’s just too literal for my taste. My runner-up is Coconut. Unless I’m literally standing on a beach in the Caribbean, I just don’t want to smell like suntan lotion all day. I want to hear from the group: What is the one note you could not care less about—or flat-out hate—in a fragrance? Is it the "pickled" Sandalwood? The "cat-pee" Blackcurrant? Overpowering Clove or Civet? Drop your fragrance "villain" in the comments!

In wine tasting they have kits to provide reference points for tasting (think grass, musk, fennel).https://www.thewinesavant.com/products/sommelier-wine-aroma-kit-the-nosing-kit-by-the-wine-savant-master-connoisseur-smelling-kit-to-train-your-nose-80-fragrance-training-kit-for-wine-lovers-wine-game-gifts-for-holiday-him-her Which are basically essential oils if I recall. Is there anything similar in the fragrance world? For example, things like oud, vetiver, guiac wood and other components I don't have a reference point. It would help both in selecting fragrances but also as reference points for existing fragrances to help recognize the components as they are emitted.
