Yesterday I visited 2 major department stores and had a whale of a time sniffing many, many fragrances that I've read tons about but had never tried before. Well it was a real eye-opener : I can't believe there are SO many perfumes that get rave reviews here that I just don't care for at all. And the oddest thing is that the one fragrance I was NOT expecting to like, the one that I have read some really bad reviews on , is one of the few that I really DID end up liking: Attraction by Lancome. Maybe I just have really poor taste
... but I think it also has something to do with the types of perfumes available. I noticed a lot of orientals and chypres (far too heavy for me) and a lot of straight/fruity florals (far too light). I prefer something inbetween, something floral yet warm and woody, there don't seem to be a lot of these scents around. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

That's what I like: warm and in-between (except for the days when I am in the mood for a cold and distinct chypre!
or hot and loud oriental!). You will not know how often I get thoughts about having a poor taste as well as become hesitant after having read the reviews or not finding ANY in the Directory!
Meantime, I was thinking about Chanel Chance, Ungaro pour Femme, Visari Fleurage, Charles Jourdan Inspiration, Les Copains (new, black box). Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
