I know people's tastes in scents are incredibly individual but I'm looking for suggestions of things to try - not necessarily buy blind. Ideally, I'll order a batch of samples/decants and help her find something she (and I) both enjoy. We've been dating for a bit over a year and while she DOES enjoy the fact I always (or at least ALMOST always 
) smell nice, she finds my "obsession" with fragrances and my ever growing wardrobe a bit odd to say the very least. I'll try my best to describe her and perhaps somebody could give me a few suggestions on where to start as I'm relatively clueless when it comes to a lot of the fragrances marketed more towards women.
She currently wears:
Burberry London (her current favorite that she wears most often)
Armani - Sensi (she said she knew she loved it but couldn't find it anywhere - I got her this one for Christmas)
Fresh: Cannabis Santal (I gave her my sample and she loved it - bought her a nice sized decant as a stocking stuffer)
Polo Blue for women
She HATES CK Escape for women (sad really, as for some reason I positively love this one) and she absolutely loathes that Body Fantasies Fresh White Musk (haha I also for some reason like this one, although I used it as a febreeze substitute and spritzed it on the filter of my air conditioner..)
A couple of MY scents that she's commented on liking are Etro - Mahogany, Creed - Tabarome Millesime, L'Artisan - Timbuktu, Dzonghka, and Passage d'Enfer (she wore each of them once and I though they were absolutely amazing on her but she didn't seem all that enthralled with any of them) Le Labo Vetiver 46, Gucci PH, CDG Kyoto & Quarzazate.
I also know she owns a 100ml bottle of the original and now discontinued Guess? perfume (the dark brownish red one in the triangular twisted bottle) It's about 85% full and she said she liked it at one time but has "had her time with it" and doesn't wear it anymore. (I'm trying to convince her to give it to me so I can decant it considering it's been discontinued for awhile )
She also gave me a full 1.7oz bottle of Black Cashmere and asked if I could "get rid of it on that cologne message board you are always reading" haha She said she liked it on someone else but didn't care for it once she tried it on herself.
I know she also wore patchouli oil and sandalwood oil for years as her primary fragrance. She also adores Nag Champa incense, the Sandalwood scented candles that are sold at Target (some Target house brand of candles) and amazingly enough says she really likes things that smell kind of like "bugspray" but in a good way, as well as warm, earthy, tobacco scents. She does NOT like floral/fruity and said she doesn't prefer gourmand scents. (it surprised me a bit she enjoyed Cannabis Santal & doesn't mind A*men on me)
As far as a personal description - well, she's a far cry from your "typical gal". She's 32, about to graduate college with a business degree, she spits alot, cusses like a sailor, drives a 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle which she works on herself (last time she was over I commented that she smelled "interesting" and asked what she was wearing and her response was "transmission fluid, it's in my hair and its hard to wash out"), has several tattoos including one which covers her entire chest area, is mildly obsessed with 1950's fashion and pinup girls, but she's also very much a lady, and an amazing one at that - and I'm very much in love with her.. :-D
The male discussion board has seen alot of "What would so-and-so wear..." threads. Given the girl I've described, what would you picture HER wearing? any suggestions on places to start or scents to look into are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
