Beginner's milestone: my tastes are quieting down, or at least simpler perfumes are appealing to me more than complex ones, and I don't think it's just summer to blame. Is this relatively common?
Plain but comforting Noa Cacharel and restrained Ivoire de Balmain are becoming my standbys to recover from repeated blind-buy and evil test traumas, and the niche offerings I tend to like are soliflores and linears.
I thought I was a lover of super bold perfumes because of the instant Fracas attraction and love of the more out there CDGs--though they're all fairly wearable, but my tastes are changing. Sudden absolute hatred of Angel and Gucci Rush too, which I initially thought were loud and sort of tacky but fantastic. Some would say this is just an improvement in tastes, but I really liked those perfumes and still do but suddenly can't stand to wear them. Bold and weird perfumes are so much more interesting, but maybe I prefer them on paper or as art and not so much for wear.
So, how many turnarounds in taste and type does a perfume lover go through on his/her journey? What to expect?
