18 perfumes with extremely strange scents that will surprise you, and maybe even shock you (19 photos)

Classic perfume aromas have long been unable to surprise lovers of everything unusual. Give them not subtle-sounding rose, vanilla and amber, but, for example, the smell of paint, lipstick or unwashed skin. So much for preferences!





To many, these smells may seem at least strange. However, modern trends dictate their own rules. Do you want to stand out? Make it original! Therefore, it is not at all surprising that such atypical scents have their admirers.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with some perfumes that have left a noticeable mark on perfumery, distinguished by their original aromas.
