Hi! I'm relatively new to the world of perfumes--I started wearing them around 3 years ago. I've sampled quite a few, but I haven't been able to find the perfect scent. I don't know enough about perfume notes and how they go together to figure out what I should be looking for. I'll try to go into as much detail as I can!
My dream perfume would be fresh, crisp, and mysterious. It would not be fruity or overly musky/powdery. I don't know very much about greens vs citrus vs oriental, but I think that it might be a combination of the three. I do think that citrus top notes draw me in, but that's about all I can figure out.
What I like
--------------
- I really like the citrus and 'warm' notes in Coco Mademoiselle. It's a little too rich for me, however. I must be in the right mood to wear it. It has been the perfume that I've worn the most.
- I love the orchid notes in Flowerbomb and Black Orchid. I'm not as big of a fan of the sweetness and extreme florals, but I definitely still wear both. I love the cutting 'darker' note of the orchid. I've been wearing Flowerbomb a lot, but it really doesn't seem like me. I think I'm just wearing it for the orchid.
-I enjoyed Miss Pucci during the summer months. It seemed almost perfect, but then it began to bore me. I wanted something 'more' from it.
- I feel the same way about Fresh Sugar Lychee. It was wonderful for awhile during the light summer months, but I no longer want to wear it.
- Finally, I love unisex and male colognes. Clean Cotton T-Shirt really grabs me, but I want something more complex.
-Tocca Florence was nice for awhile, but it is too floral. I love that it is a little mysterious, though.
What I do not like
--------------
-Pink Sugar is vile
-Tommy Girl smells like alcohol
-Kate Spade Twirl smells terrible
-Light Blue just smelled like tobacco and disgusted me, which was surprising. It seemed like it'd be the perfect perfume from the description!
-Juicy Couture perfumes are not appealing at all
-Escada perfumes are generally far too fruity. I don't think I like fruity perfumes.
-Stella does not sit well with me, although I have friends who love it.
Do you have any suggestions? What should I try? I'm willing to answer any questions! I hope that my negatives didn't come off too strongly; I just wanted to explain what didn't appeal to me!
