So I figure it must be *some* aromachemical commonly used to build a plum accord that doesn't agree with me.

And I don't know how much enlightening is really going on, since a lot of people have a pretty unbudgeable idea that fragrance not only has a gender, but also contains a magical love potion that conveniently targets the object of desire, but only if you're a girl wearing girl perfume and you need to end up with a boy.

I believe it's down to the plum; no perfume that boasts a plum or prune note agrees with me, including all the Mauboussins, Bois de Violette, the original Poison and TF Black Orchid.<br />I'm intrigued by the Lovely liquid satin version - the regular didn't do much for me.
