Some shaving soaps have scents that are almost intoxicatingly great; for me, it's B&M's Lavanille.

Considering I'm allergic to it, I suspect any 'Tabac' or tobacco scented soap will have me puking in reaction 
I'm still trying to find one that bad... LOL
I did let B&M Leviathan go due to scent, but it wasn't terrible. Just not all that enjoyable.

La Toja smells like a dirty ashtray to me. Tabac is only slightly less offensive. I don't understand the tobacco/ashtray fascination.
Also, anything sweet smelling. Not flowery sweet, but sugary sweet. "Almond" scented anything is almost always too sweet for me. I just picked up some Stirling Barbershop and while it does have a hint of what I would call "barbershop," it's so sickly sweet that I can't stand it.

Tabac's scent is based on the tobacco flower, not the leaf. There's a world of difference between the two.
LASSC's Myrkvior is pretty nasty.
I'm going to catch a lot of heck over this.....Bay Rum. I can't stand Bay Rum. Its a horrible scent that should have stayed put in the 1800's.
I thought I was the only one who picked up on this!! When I first received it I thought maybe someone was smoking a cigarette when they packed my box.
I purchased when i first started shaving...on ebay a barber shop scented hand made bar of shaving soap....and it actually smelt like vomit i kid you not...lathered nice...but that smell erghhhh..i messages the soap maker to let her know and she was experimenting with the colognes and aftershaves went to sniff the bar and said the exact same thing back to me it was meant to be a citrusy masculine strong smell...i could kinda get citrus but in a really bad way...some smells just...
Also as another person said...now i like clove types of bay rum...however i purchased a cake of col conk....and it smelt like a urinal...sorry to those who enjoy it lol just my nose ymmv
Cella. It makes fine lather, but I have no use for its scent.
Please send all unloved Bay Rum soaps to me for disposal... 
I'll see your bay rum and raise you Sandalwood. I really dislike it as well. Ogallala bayrum sage and ceder is pretty good though.
Cyril Salter's French Vetiver. Swamp fire.
Also not a fan of Bay Rum, particularly the ones that are heavy on clove.

Thank you! I thought it was going to be Wet Shaving Heresy, lol. I just don't like the scent of Sandalwood for some reason. It has a musty/funky odor that I can't get past.
I do like Bay Rum scents though. I like mine on the sweeter side.
