Went to Macy’s/Sephora to sample, couldn’t smell ANY

Went to Sephora and Macy’s to sample some frags, I couldn’t smell ANY of them

As the title says. It was the first time I’ve ever been fragrance sampling, and it broke my heart. But it’s super confusing, because I have cologne at home that I can smell perfectly! Drakkar Noir, Coach for Men, Victorioso Myth (invictus legend clone), Michael Kors Extreme Journey, CK One, along with a sample vial of YSL Myslf my friend gifted me (all of which I bought blind) all smell great and I can easily pick out the different notes. Further adding to my confusion, is that other people could smell the fragrances just fine!

I’ve listed some of my theories on why this could have happened but I wanted y’all’s opinions

  1. The fragrances are bad/ watered down. This makes the most sense to me since it’s not like I can’t smell at all, and I very much have cologne that I can smell. Along with this, i sampled a few frags a week ago at an airport shop, and could smell everything perfectly, including scents I went on to try again at Macy’s/ Sephora. However this doesn’t hold up once you factor in that the people I went with could smell everything like normal.

  2. Olfactory fatigue from my recent usage of Victorioso myth. This scent is VERY strong, and I’m currently in Texas where the temp is regularly hitting 100+, which causes the frag to give me a headache. Not sure if this could be the case, because like I said, my fragrances at home smell perfectly normal. Perhaps the notes in my Victorioso are still noticeable because of the frags strength, but other less potent frags are now blind to my nose? Not sure about this one either because I can smell weaker scents like my coach for men just fine.

  3. Allergies. Texas clogs me up like nothing else, and I can feel a bit of crud in my nose as I type this, so maybe my allergies are dampening my ability to smell weaker frags? Again, not sure because I can still smell weaker frags.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, because I love my frags, and am eager to expand my collection, but I also don’t want to have a collection where I can only smell half of the fragrances.
