I usually like unscented body care products, but like a tiny bit of perfume occasionally! Berries, vanilla, or amber are all good. I do occasionally like gourmands. If I’m feeling something a little different, some dirt or petrichor stuff is great. I haven’t had a whole lot of luck with Tom Ford fragrances. Insult to injury, it is EXPENSIVE. Leather scents are difficult for me. For example, Lush Vegan Leather Jacket was horrid to my nose. It was like an ashtray. I used to love Lush Goddess, but over time it feels like I am just smelling wood. Which is… Fine, but I miss when I smelled more of a blend of flowers and wood instead of just a whisper of flower. Gourmands are hit and miss for me. Anything that is supposed to smell like a milk product is a no-no. I like more of a vague “baked good” smell over something more specific. Lush Lord of Misrule and Karma, Burberry Her, and Black Opium are ones I love that are more mainstream. Possets Howl and Sorce Vampire Husband are the strange ones that I really like. I don’t wear a lot, so I like getting sample sizes and decants! Bonus, it really satisfies my desire for options without me overconsuming. My smell preferences are a lot lighter in the summer versus the winter. Something about the heat makes the fragrances so much stronger and can make them overwhelming.

    I’ve been relegated to unscented everything (or as best as I can) for the last 2 years, so have been unable to wear my perfumes Gormands can be lovely! But I like mine not too sweet, I don’t want to smell like a penny mix, and I understand about the milk… have you ever smelled etat libre d’orange- secretions magnifique? There’s milk, blood (I think) and semen, I definitely got milk as for the others…🤷 You have been warned! I’m glad I’m not the only one to not like Tom Ford, I think they are a bit over powering which is fortunate due to the price You’re certainly more sensible in choosing minis instead of full bottles, but I have managed to get some good deals on eBay I understand the need for lighter scents in summer, but I still enjoy my heavy hitters with plenty of amber, spices etc, although I think with the temperatures we’re getting these days I may readjust when I start wearing fragrance again
