 What is the first thing many of us do even before spraying on a perfume? We read the list of notes. As cliched as this sounds it’s like judging a book by its cover. Now  an oud-o-phobe can fall for an oud centric fragrance  but it’s rare .  Sometimes certain notes Orc accords just don’t work with someone’s chemistry. To claim this  month’s spilled perfume try to match the contributors and editors of CaFleureBon to our “no-no notes”

Hernando Courtright, Contributor- Seaweed

 Aaron Potterman, Contributor-  Coconut

Berkan Basoglu, Contributor- Calone

Elise Pearlstine, Sr Contributor- Ethylmaltol

If a reader matches us correctly, they automatically win two prizes they asked for (country restrictions YOU MUST INCLUDE AN ALL NATURAL PERFUME IN YOUR CHOICES or your comment won’t count) and if no one guesses correctly, the draw is random. Don’t complain if you don’t get exactly what you want or we will force you wear a fragrance containing all our hated notes, which would smell like a hot mess.    Your entry must include the name of the editor or contributor, (i.e., Hernando Courtright’s no no note is) to be eligible and of course you must be a Registered CaFleureBon reader and use your registered name. You can list as many as you would like to win. We would love to know your most detested note as well.  Draw closes October 9, 2015.

We announce the winners on our site and on our Facebook page, so Like Cafleurebon and use our RSS option…or your dream prize will be just spilled perfume

    Michelyn Camen’s no no note is Seaweed

    My least favourite notes are those who give a metallic vibe, very sharp and not so natural smelling.

    I would like to win O/E Bogue Profumo, Le 15 and Amber from Aftelier.

    I live in Eu. Thanks!

    Hello!
    Here are my guesses:

    Hernando Courtright’s no no note is Cheap Vanillin

    Aaron Potterman’s no no note is Birchtar

    Berkan Basoglu’s no no note is Calone

    Elise Pearlstine’s no no note is Coconut

    Clayton Ilolahia’s no no note is Seaweed

    Megan Paki’s no no note is Ethylmaltol

    Bettina Korp’s no no note is Skanky musk

    Michael Singels’s no no note is Vetiver

    Pam Barr’s no no note is Ta’If Rose

    Michelyn Camen’s no no note is Calone

    I can’t pin down a note or ingredient that I don’t like: there’s something in some scents I’ve sampled recently that strikes me as thin, shrill and screechily metallic, like cheap indestructible aftershave, and I’d avoid it if I knew for certain what it was!

    My choices
    2ML of Aftelier Perfumes “Amber” Mandy Aftel (ALL NATURAL)
    Solstice Scents 3.3 ml EDP spray samples of:
    White Feather, Estate Vanilla, Manor and Library,
    25 ml sample of Gardenia enfleurage and 1 ml samples of the following perfume oil extraits: Basilica, Night Watcher and Black Forest (Angela St John)

    I’m in the EU.
    Thank you for the guessing game and draw!
