Have you ever found a fragrance you *want* to love, but don’t?

🔥

I recently picked up a bunch of decants that on paper seemed perfect for me (the note breakdown, and literally when I sniffed them on a paper strip) but then when I tried wearing them, on skin they just didn’t do it for me. I have a few that I know are right off the list - I’m already getting rid of them (buh bye, Ganymede Extrait and Renaissance). Then there are some that I *want* to love, but I’m not sure I can bring myself to commit. Sort of the fragrance equivalent of that super hot lady you’re on a 2nd date with, you already know her a little bit and seem to be connecting, things are going great, but… you can already see the red flags… and you’re not sure there should be a date #3. But she’s really hot…

Top of my list for this scenario is Sauvage Elixir. I’m really liking the warmth, richness, and cacophony of spicy notes. But… I feel like there will be drama in my future if I pull the trigger and get a full bottle. Anyone else ever feel like this?
