So back to perfume as art and whether judgements about what's good are possible beyond personal taste?
Have consulted Turn and Sanchez, who discuss this quite a lot in the A-Z Guide. They of course say you should wear what you love. (Agreed).
But they also say:
"Perfume really is an art...Somebody puts these things together with skill and intention. Perfumes have ideas: there are surprising textures, moods, tensions, harmonies, juxtapositions...Some perfumes are facile and some are complicated; some are representative, some are abstract. Above all, some are better than others."
TS is also very interesting on how the internet has enable critical discussion of perfume as art form, and hopes, as a consequence,
"The age of trash perfumes, composed in a matter of months on the cheap and sold with celebrity faces and outrageous claims, must at last be nearing an end"
So not all perfume is created equal, there is a basis to form aesthetic judgements about what's good, beyond whether it is to your personal taste or not, but at the end of the day, you should follow your own nose.
But that doesn't mean anything you don't personally like is a pink minger
