niche not so much or lets say i should be able to find in europe. Pricepoint can be between drugstore and luxury. Im not so sure about notes i like, but i think wood and vanilla but with a twist. Im looking for parfumes for different occasions. For example “strong confident woman that is beeing taken seriously in meetings” and for this i have “Libre” by Yves Saint Lauren, which is also a nice day to day sent. For this topic i am also considering “Guilty” by Gucci because it smells like someone with the confidence i’d like to have. i hope i will get there though :) I also like “Born in Rome” by Valentino and “Zadig” by Zadig and Voltaire. for me it’s easyer to test designer or somewhat popular parfums, because i live in a rather small city. so anyways, i’m still looking for parfums for ocasions like: doing something outdoors with a friend in spring or summer. So maybe something light/fresh/clean/sporty and a day to day parfum for winter that is not too heavy nor too sweet. So i guessing something with wood an citrus? but i’m not sure. i hope that was somewhat understandable :)

Right, I’m going to do several replies to your comment over the week as I come up with ideas (I’m also away for a few days without WiFi) So, just thinking about some of the brands I’ve sniffed and also from my own collection… Chanel les exclusifs- bois des isles, is sandalwood, a bit of citrus, and a spicy sweetness www.fragrantica.com/…/Bois-des-Iles-1006.html Serge lutens- une bois vanille www.fragrantica.com/…/Un-Bois-Vanille-478.html Lutens also does some fresher, lighter scents in the l’eau collection. www.fragrantica.com/designers/Serge-Lutens.html His ‘signature style’ is usually oriental, spicy, sometimes very oddly fruity, but the vanilla and l’eau maybe more you. You can get them on places like eBay and some department shops I was in Selfridges today and Gucci have a nice collection called the alchemist garden, which have a good range of florals and woods represented Diptyque have a large collection including eau duelle (vanilla) fragrantica.com/…/Eau-Duelle-Eau-de-Parfum-49100.… Again you can pick up their perfumes on eBay including minis There are scent sampler websites where you can buy a sample from 1ml upwards to try before you buy, you can also get manufacturers samples via eBay too I’ll comment again soon after I’ve had another think 👍
