Hi, all. As the thread title says, I'm (almost) completely new to the world of fragrance, and still trying to figure out what I like in a scent product. I say almost because, as a lad, I was gifted with a bottle of Drakkar Noir, and hated it so much that I completely wrote off fragrance for years afterward. I've occasionally tried to find something I might like since then, but every time I've become discouraged after finding that so many popular men's fragrances smell to a greater or lesser extent just like the stuff I couldn't stand before.
That being said, it's occurred to me that with so many small perfumeries on the internet making so many interesting-sounding blends, surely somebody makes something that I'd like. And so, in my quest to find that magical scent, I'm trying to learn what it was in the things I didn't care for that I should steer clear of, and what notes I'm likely to enjoy.
So, any advice for me?

. What scents do you generally see yourself wearing? Perhaps sweet scents like gourmands, or possibly woody fragrances? Let us know what you find appealing, in general, and you'll have a plethora of suggestions.
