Hello...brand new to this site but love it (though have to say find navigating it as a new user a little confusing!).
I have spent the last 20 or so years (I'm in my 40s) searching for my 'signature scent'. When I was in my teens it was Rive Gauche - or sometimes my older sister's Madame Rochas (I didn't really like it, but thought it was grown up).
Since then I have invested in countless fragrances, always hoping it would be 'the one'. I seem to be attracted to two completely different types....... on the one hand, the 'deep' spicy, musky scents like:
Opium (come on - it was the 80s!)
L'Artisan Parfumeur - Premier Figuer
Narciso Rodriguez - For Her
Tom Ford's White Patchouli
(I loved the 'thought' of Fracas, which I have, but can't wear it because I find it too sickly)
Rochas' Tocade
yet on the other hand, I love light, fresh, lemony fragrances like:
Anick Goutal L'eau D'Hadrien
Diorella
Chanel No.19
Prada Infusion D'Iris
Any thoughts on a middle ground that I could try???
Thanks
Jeanne
p.s. Is there a way to buy 'decants'? If there is, I couldn't find it on the site. So often the Dept. store near me (not London!) doesn't have samples - and I'm loath to buy before I've worn something for a while to see how it suits.
