No.12 Bousval vs Not A Perfume

The Sephora Favorites set offers good value but receives mixed reviews for its scent selection. While some fragrances like Daisy and certain Ellis Brooklyn offerings have fans, many in the community found the collection hit-or-miss with several generic or underwhelming options, making it a gamble despite the attractive price point.

Not A Perfume is extremely divisive, with reactions ranging from love to hatred depending heavily on individual skin chemistry and potential genetic anosmia to its key molecules. The fragrance works beautifully for some wearers who find it comforting and receive compliments, but others experience it as unpleasantly sharp or can't smell it at all, making it one of the most unpredictable fragrances in the community.
