I've so far done reviews of fragrances I actually like or can recommend for various reasons (such as Shalimar, which I don't, personally, like, but which I still appreciate and know to be a fine, classic, well-loved fragrance). I haven't done any of perfumes I truly hate and would never recommend.

Part of me says that I should just call 'em as I see 'em (and the fact is, I do tend to like more fragrances than I hate, but there are a few that are, in my estimation, real stinkers and I can't understand how anyone wants to wear them). That's part and parcel of being a "critic" (and I mean that in the sense of "critique", of course). Not all movies get good reviews, not all music gets good reviews, why should all perfumes?

So I'll have to think about this a bit, I guess. I don't actually want to put people off a fragrance that they might actually like (because perfumes are very personal and there's no accounting for taste, including my own)...

Bit of a dilemma, to say the least.
