Hi, I'm not really too good at visualizing a fragrance from the basenotes, so I need a little help choosing a new fragrance.
I've never been a big wearer of fragrances, I always thought fragrances were for girls. I've mostly just worn stuff i've been given as a gift. I am a little bored of my previous fragrances and i'm looking for something new. So far I've tried;
1). Hugo Boss Boss - My first fragrance. A christmas gift from my mother. Very spicy and reminds me of something an old man would wear.
2). Davidoff Cool Water - Christmas gift from my sister when I was in my mid-late teens. I liked the clean smell and it reminded me of honey. No idea why?!? But I liked this one. Now it's very dated and i've worn it to death. Not really strong enough.
3). Givency Pi - Bought on a whim of the internet. Very very sweet, reminded me a bit of Liquorish and aniseed to begin with, now it makes me feel sick, but quite nice in small doses. Perhaps a touch too feminine.
4). Issey Miyake - Bought on a recomendation, a bit overpowering and far too common. Too easily recognised by people.
5). Davidoff Cool Water Deep - Smells very similar to Cool Water, but with slightly more punch. Nice because it reminds me of Cool Water, but too similar. I still really like ths one even so.
6). Next Dimension - Umm... It's a cheap fragrance which smells of nothing but Alchohol. never really worn it.
7). Diesel Zero Plus - A gift from my mother a few years ago. Far too spicy and not very subtle. On special offer everywhere. Too cheap, too widely available.
Basically, I'm looking for something a bit different, classy but understated. Clean smelling, but not something that smells clean like most deoderants and shower gels.
Something that can be worn to work or on a night out. Not too strong, but not too weak. Not too spicy or too sweet, nor too feminine. I'm looking for something for around £30-£40 for an EDT spray, nothing too expensive but nothing dirt-cheap either.
Any suggestions?? :-/
Thanks.
