Nightmare of a Scent

I was incredibly excited to purchase the Tate 01 Eau De Parfum, but unfortunately, I was terribly disappointed. The marketing was excellent, and I was eager to experience what had been presented as a luxurious fragrance. Instead, the scent was an absolute nightmare. Before applying the perfume to m...y skin, I sprayed a small amount in my bathroom to get a sense of the fragrance. Almost immediately, the scent was like a knife cutting through the air. It was incredibly sharp, harsh, and seemed to sting the very air around me. I coughed several times and quickly turned on the bathroom fan to improve the airflow. Initially, I thought perhaps my reaction was simply due to the intensity of the first spray, so I decided to give the fragrance some time to settle before trying again. A couple of hours later, I returned to the bathroom, only to discover that the scent was just as overpowering as before! I began coughing again and ultimately left the bathroom fan running overnight, hoping the fragrance would dissipate. To my astonishment, when I returned the following morning, the scent was STILL lingering at what seemed to be its original intensity! Despite the ventilation, it had barely diminished. I eventually resorted to thoroughly cleaning the bathroom sink with cleaning products in an attempt to eliminate the fragrance. Even after doing so, it took several days for the scent to finally disappear. While I understand that fragrances are highly subjective, I have never experienced a perfume quite like this. What I had hoped would be a luxurious and enjoyable fragrance turned into an overwhelmingly unpleasant experience. Unfortunately, Tate 01 Eau De Parfum was a tremendous disappointment, and I certainly would not purchase it again.
