I've been on/off with fragrances for the last year or so. As in, I always wear one and will always try some testers if I'm in a store, but I've can go for months without ever thinking about them.
My problem is, I haven't yet found a fragrance that's really blown me away. In fact, almost all of the things with good reviews (by Basenoters or people in general) I've tried have left me sorely dissapointed. For example;
AdG - Entirely synthetic, made me feel sick
Cool Water - Same synthetic smell, but more mild
Terre d'Hermes - Awful! I threw the test paper away almost as soon as I got it
Le Male - I found this one really feminine!
GIT - Didn't find this pleasant at all. Really sharp and sour, I found
Burberry London - Smelled like pink smoker lollies!
I've also tried a lot more that I can't care to recall. Of the Creed range, the only on I liked was MI, but that came off my skin in about 30 minutes. The only other frag I've loved is L'eau D'Issey, which me best friends father (who was and still is the coolest man I know) wore as a signiture scent.
As well as that, I find it impossible to distinguish individual 'notes' in a fragrance- either it smells good or it doesn't.
Am I just to unsophistacated for fragrances? too course? I'd love to have some kind of signiture scent, but as it is I can't find any that I like http://community.basenotes.net/images/icons/icon9.gif
