[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't you perfume fans smell the metal-scent in perfumes, even high end ones? Why do you want that on you?

I guess I can't. What is a metal-scent? Copper? Aluminum? [/quote]

There is a metallic undertone to most commercial perfumes, almost like a vague scent of iron.

I have an excellent sense of smell and I smell things that my husband can't, so maybe I am more sensitive.[/quote]
It’s not metal. Your nose may be sensitive, but it’s way off base (pun totally intended). There are several mainstream perfumes with really nasty base notes, but metal is a supremely uncommon note. The last one I can think of is Estée Lauder Dazzling Silver, which Turin and Sanchez says had a “sucked spoon quality” from the helionol. I had it, I loved it, it’s been discontinued for about 10 years. Metal is not a common note.

I can also think of Metal by Paco Rabanne - it was such a wonderful fragrance - but that was discontinued in early 00's, if not earlier.[/quote]

I'm the PP and I suspect what I am smelling is not actual metal but that's the best I can describe it. It smells .. artificial, for lack of a better word. Maybe it is the interaction of one of the ketones. Idk. But I smell it for sure in most perfume.[/quote]
