Hearing other people's opinions that vintage fragrances "stink"

How would you feel in this situation?

Twice now I've been in a thrift store looking at a vintage perfume (one was Le De Givenchy, another Aromatics Elixir) and an employee commented about how "that perfume stinks, it smells like something an old lady who is on her deathbed would wear," etc. Not in a rude way, but as friendly conversation. But as a result, I was second-guessing whether or not I wanted to buy these perfumes. I'm usually pretty independent-minded when it comes to what scents I wear, but I feel like I let myself be de-influenced.
