I'm fascinated by this book at work today: "Perfumes: The Guide".  It rates every perfume ever made and gives interesting/amusing descriptions of each.  I just ran across the scent Patchouli 24 by Le Labo (given the highest rating, 5 stars, by the way):  "The smell was at once beguiling, salubrious and toxic, and felt like a perfume composed for a fiercely intelligent librarian."  Maybe I should check that out?! 

To contrast: Paris Hilton by Paris Hilton (one star): "Competent but depressing woody-fruity-floral aimed at ditzes."

Or how about this: Burberry (also one star): "The horror: this one comes wrapped in a piece of wool in Burberry's hideous trademark plaid.  This is a while floral so vile that only A. A. Gill, who famously described Burberry Brit as 'chav spit,' could do it justice.  Words fail me."  - I don't really know what that means, but it sounds pretty bad.

Cristalle by Chanel, a perfume I've worn since high school, got five stars (yeah!) and is described as "beautiful, and a little scary."  Totally me, right?
