After introducing myself as a former perfume monogamist (one scent for 10+ years), I have since tested dozens of perfumes and developed a very small pool of favorites since discovering Basenotes several months ago. I'm still very much an amateur about scents, and I was curious if anyone would like to take a crack at identifying common notes or threads among my favorites. Do I seem to be gravitating towards a certain type (e.g., florals, orientals, gourmand)? Or is this small selection somewhat eclectic without any rhyme or reason....
My can't-stop-sniffing-myself favorites:
Bulgari: Eau Parfumée au Thé Rouge & Eau Parfumée au Thé Blanc
Mûre et Musc Extrême
Tea for Two
Let Me Play the Lion
Narciso Rodriguez for Her
Gaultier2
Floris Pink Grapefruit (moreso in the summer)
Cipresso di Toscana
Feminitè du Bois
edited to add: Omnia
And most recently, Alien and Flowerbomb.
Is it possible to look at all of those and say, "Oh, you obviously like [this] note or [this] type." I might even be looking for some "If you like X perfume, you'll probably like Y" recommendations! :-)
Any insight would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
