Trying to figure out what note I dislike in some fragrances

Discussion

I’m a bit lost trying to figure out what exactly I don’t like in certain fragrances.

These three are almost unbearable for me (maybe 3/10 at most):

•	Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition

•	French Avenue Ghost Spectre

•	French Avenue Liquid Brun

I originally thought the issue might be oud or strong woody notes.

But what makes it confusing is that I actually quite enjoy these:

•	Orientica Xclusif Oud Bleu

•	Lattafa Asad Elixir

•	Lattafa Bade’e Al Oud

I wouldn’t say I love them, but they’re solid 7–9/10 fragrances for me.

So now I’m wondering: what note or accord could be the problem in the first three?

If anyone is familiar with these scents, I’d really appreciate your thoughts.
