What perfume/aftershave do you hate?

Based on this story about a woman who fought off a carjacker with a bottle of Elizabeth Arden Red Door perfume: http://jezebel.com/375039/smell-ya-later
What fragrances send you packing!?
I think I hate just about any perfume I wore at school! I used to love Ralph by Ralph Lauren (the one in the blue bottle) but now.. it's so fruity it just makes me gag! I remember having a bottle of perfume manufactured by Oasis (the clothes shop) in year 8, it actually smelled of coconut, we all thought it was gorgeous though! I always find the perfumes in Next vile too.
I hate the really musky ones my mum has aswel, like Dior Poison, that one could knock anyone out I swear. And Giorgio Beverly Hills, it smells of piss.
Aftershave wise, I hate Versace Blue Jeans, it reminds me of 13 year old boys at the youth club, not subtle!

britney spears fantasy....eurgh.
Celebrity scents are usually pretty cheap smelling and a bit ergh.

I can't stand Lynx, even though that's a spray.

99p collection lol. and that white one with a bottle shape of a man.
Anything that's endorsed by a celebrity, anything that's overly floral or fruity.
Celeb ones are all nasty, they're all either sickly sweet or totally overpowering.

diesel .... its horrid.
To be honest, I quite like the smell of Britney's. I kinda love her though.

I hate Aramis and anything else that begins with an A.

Calvin Klein Euphoria and LouLou are guaranteed to give me a blinding headache if I have to sit near someone wearing either of them.
I love the smell of Samsara but whenever I try it I always end up depressed - obviously there's some truth in aromatherapy after all! :p:
I dont have any specifc ones but old lady ones I hate- the ones that spell like poperi and get stuck in the back of your throat.

I also really dislike ones that are supposed to smell like fruit, especially melon and weird ones like that :s-smilie:

I dont like mens ones that smell musky and like a dirty old pub yuck.

i cant stand angel for women.. think its in a star shaped bottle, my sister used to wear it.. and i hated it.
Ralph by Ralph Lauren because it reminds me of eyeballs. (My friend was wearing it while we had a dissection in school) :p:
I hate Brut... it's so old man like and smells convincingly like mouthwash.

Perfume-wise, meh I don't know, I'm not familiar with any perfume names, lol.
