I know my perfumes & there are four scents that smell cheap & a spray people love which should always be avoided
A PERFUME connoisseur has revealed the four popular scents to best give a miss if you don’t want to come smell cheap.
From the more musky tones to the floral scents, there are hundreds of perfumes to choose from, and to make your life a little easier a whizz has listed the ones to avoid.
TikTok user @white_girl_mob insisted that there are some viral scents that despite being loved by many will make you ”smell like a cheap stripper”.
One of those, the self-titled ”fragrance icon”, revealed is Cloud by the US popstar Ariana Grande.
This airy and refreshing number, which retails for £50, has gone viral on social media – but if you want to smell luxurious, best leave it at the drugstore.
It seems that when it comes to perfumes, don’t trust celebrities, as the next scent, Fantasy by Britney Spears, had also made it on the list.
According to the woman, whose video has been viewed close to a whopping 581k times in less than a week, cheaper sprays should also be avoided.
One of them is Pink Sugar body spray, which retails for around £15 on Amazon – despite the thousands of positive ratings, you’re better off spending your money elsewhere.
The last perfume to not bother buying is the viral Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 39, a cult favourite amongst teenagers.
The £22 turquoise bottle may be cute but it most certainly does not belong in your purse, the whizz reckoned.
”Yikesss [sic],” is how the blonde described her feelings in the caption.
But despite her recommendations, people on TikTok were adamant – they will continue spraying these if that’s what they wanted.

”GIRL BYE ! I love cloud,” one person hit back.
A second pointed out: ”you own them all.”
”Fantasy by Britney is my signature scent! I am obsessed omg,” someone else would not be listening to the advice any time soon.
”Pink sugar is my daily LMAO,” another exclaimed.
Trying to up your perfume game this year? Well, another whizz recently shared the scents she’d never buy again.
Perfume lover Josephine, better known to her fans on social media as Jus de Rose, owns quite the collection of scents – there are over 400 different bottles in her home.
But although there are many the London-based beauty fan loves, some she will never repurchase, including a unisex favourite everyone is obsessed with.
The blonde took to TikTok to reveal the list of five – do you agree with what she says?
Good Girl by Carolina Herrera
First up in the now-viral video was Good Girl by Carolina Herrera, which retails anywhere from £55 to over £100 depending on the size.
Holding the iconic heeled-shaped bottle, Josephine said: ”The ultimate clubbing scent – she’s sexy, intoxicating and loud.”
Explaining why this number won’t end up in her shopping basked again, the beauty fan said: ”I no longer go clubbing, so this is completely useless.
”Also, at times it can be suffocating,” she added.
Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian
”Don’t get me wrong – this is a fantastic perfume,” the scent lover described the high-end bottle.
”But everyone and their mother is wearing it.
”There are hundreds of dupes of it as well and I want to smell a little more unique when I wear my fragrance.”
Black Orchid by Tom Ford
A timeless classic and a firm unisex favourite amongst many, Tom Ford’s Black Orchid is a scent that will make heads turn – and for Josephine, that’s too much.
”I cannot handle the amount of attention that I get when I wear this perfume, whether that is a good thing or a bad thing.
”I just prefer to keep it a little bit more low profile if you know what I mean.”
Delina by Parfums de Marly
This high-end pink number, which will set you back by more than £200, is yet another fantastic perfume.
But according to Josephine, she ”bought into the hype of it with this one”.
”I preferred Delina La Rosee which is a fresher take on the original Delina.”
Lovefest Burning Cherry by Kayali
”I adore this perfume – it is a sexy cherry scent and I find it to be better than Lost Cherry by Tom Ford.
”However, this perfume does not last,” Josephine claimed.
”It goes away in like a few hours – it’s gone like poof, like magic, which is such a shame.
”For that reason, I will not be repurchasing it. Kayali, if you’re watching this, please formulate it so that it lasts ages and ages on the skin,” she chuckled.
