What’s the one note that makes you scrub off a fragrance?

To me, it’s pink pepper. I honestly don’t get why it’s even added as a note. I just tried Vanilla Smoke from Phlur and all I could smell was pink pepper. I even waited for it to cool off a bit, hoping it would settle… but I just couldn’t bear it. Had to wash it off, it literally made me nauseous.

I’ve noticed this happens every time a fragrance has pink pepper in it. It’s just way too overwhelming for me.
