Fragrance Notes We Hate in Perfumes We Love: Overcoming 'Problem Accords'

Описание: As perfume lovers, we're all probably guilty of avoiding certain fragrances due to a specific "problem perfume note" of ours; those notes or accords that seem to incessantly bother us or stick out too much in a composition.

But as Nicola and Adam say in this Fragrantica Talks discussion, there is value in challenging your notions of taste and pushing yourself to explore examples of those problem notes in perfumes you actually enjoy.

You might find that you actually enjoy some fragrance accords more than you previously thought when you smell them paired with different notes or in complete isolation.
