I’d say no over yes, because some people are more irritated by it than others, though there are certainly many who do like it. On the flip side, if the base product smells off-putting then it’s hard to say “no fragrance!” only to smell, you know, something really unpleasant. I’m reminded of a “natural” product (I don’t remember what it was, so I don’t actually know how organic/natural it was), but it smelled SO bad and I could smell it on my face all day. Of course, there have been fragrance-heavy skincare products that I haven’t been able to wear all day because they’re too heavily perfumed! In a perfect world, it would just be neutral – no bad, no good – just nothing.
