Phloem is one that I had some (expected) issues with… rhubarb and cloying fruits. And did I mention that it has ‘oysters’ as a note? It’s actually surprisingly nice and tropical smelling, with a hint of sweaty skin underneath.
I picture someone spilling a fruity cocktail on them and then going to a hot, sweat-inducing beach party in the same clothes. It’s a strong dislike for me to wear, but I like it as an artistic creation.
