I have a couple of samples that sound like they should smell fantastic and wind up being scrubbers on me. The example that comes to mind is Un Crime Exotique. I happen to like foodie scents and some of the notes sounded like something I should LOVE (ginger, cinnamon, sandalwood). Started off ok - but quickly turned into the stench of infected pus :-& I'm a perfume noob - is it worth trying again with a different sample from a different source?

I’m a perfume noob – is it worth trying again with a different sample from a different source?

Having studied chemistry and completed dozens of lab experiments, we never stored any chemicals in plastic containers knowing that a side reaction might occur inside. Since fragrances contain oils and subsequent chemicals (natural or not), they too are prone to reacting with the plastic lining of any container that they are put in. Best thing, always store perfume in glass bottles away from direct sunlight. Hating to see wonderful fragrances wither away in plastic vials, I always request me decants to be in glass atomizers:) Just wanted to add that plastics are polymers that react with UV light, hence breaking down and leaching.
