There are so many strange and obscure notes in perfumes that give them a unique, niche scent. Some of these notes are so unusual that many might find them repulsive, and some are even entirely unwearable.
Why would a perfume maker create an unwearable perfume?
People find pleasure in different things; it is one of the beauties of being human. What you might find extremely strange might be another’s guilty treasure, or as they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Besides, you’d be surprised by the amount of people who buy fragrances simply to add them to their collection. That is what most of these fragrances are at the end of the day: a collector’s item. These people are referred to as perfume connoisseurs and are the target audience for such fragrance creations.
