Guerlain .

I have the Perfume Guide by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez , but it's overwhelming

If knowing these 3 you can recommend some more you think I'll like I would appreciate it.

thanks

Helen

Can't wait ! Anything else ? Possibly another Guerlain ( to be very frank this is more in my price range

These Grossman perfumes aren't in The Perfume Guide , but I saw a t.v. programme about how the company is being revivified .
I get the samples from Les Senteurs ( www.lessenteurs.com ) , but their descriptions are not very helpful . I've often thought it would be useful if there was a " you may also like " section like on Amazon ; but I suppose that would close one off to new and unexpected scents . Thanks again.

You might like Hothouse Flower by Ineke. (I like Fracas and Carnal Flower, too)

I think there's a good chance you'd enjoy Divine by Divine. (Not Eau Divine by Divine, which is a different scent.) It is a wonderful, classically French scent with a prominent rich, buttery tuberose note. What I like about all the Divine feminines is that they are rooted in the classics, but they are nonetheless modern.
