I’m not sure that there really is one. I don’t know that I’ve come across a perfume that feels like it’s just a really poor quality scent so much as I didn’t love the notes. I’m too much of a perfume novice to weigh in here, I think.
Chanel Le Lion Eau de Parfum is all about smoky, leathery labdanum that becomes blended with spiced resins, golden amber, and musk that dries down to an amber-patchouli blend with a touch of vanilla.
