I Smelled 10 Of The Most Controversial Fragrances — Sécrétions Magnifiques, Camel, T-rex & More

Bloom Perfumery in Covent Garden is London's home of the daring and the unusual — so I went straight for the most controversial fragrances on their shelves. Ten scents that have divided the fragrance community, cleared rooms and made people question everything they thought they knew about perfume. From the legendary Sécrétions Magnifiques by Etat Libre d'Orange — widely considered one of the most controversial fragrances ever made — to the wild animal kingdom of Zoologist's Camel, Squid and Tyrannosaurus Rex, the debaucherous smoke of Rake & Ruin by Beaufort London, the mysterious Nocturne by Wesker, the shadowy Sombra by D:Sol MMXVI and more. These are not safe choices. These are not crowd pleasers. Honest, no-jargon first impressions on all ten — in the order I smelled them.
