I want a nice, feminine floral scent. I don't want something with a lot of citrus scent or a clean scent without many floral notes. I do like a hint of vanilla.
To give you an idea of what I like . . .
I love:
Vera Wang
Euphoria by Calvin Klein (my favorite, but I want something lighter for summer)
So de la Renta
Donna Karan Cashmere Mist
Chanel Allure is okay
I hate:
Philosophy Amazing Grace (I also think I dislike all other Philosophy scents)
Clinique Happy that Sunflowers stuff (is it Estee Lauder?)
Estee Lauder Beautiful
Shalimar
I think I've smelled Flora by Gucci before and liked it. What about Flora by Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia? I love the scent of gardenias.
I know the best thing is to go smell stuff, but I get totally overwhelmed and plus they all start smelling the same after just a few (even with the coffee beans).
Soooo, after reading a bunch of reviews, I ordered a Marc Jabobs Oh, Lola gift set with a perfume, lotion and mini perfume. I hope I like it. If not, I guess it will be showing up on the swap board
I despise in person shopping and do 99% of my shopping online, but this is one tough purchase to pick out using Google.

Have you smelled issey miyake? I LOVE it. I think it is somewhat floral but it's so gorgeous and clean. I wear it year around and actually it's all I wear. It is one of the few perfumes that don't give me a headache.

Look at the Lavanilla line, sold at Sephora. They have a whole line of fragrances and I bet one fits the bill...all have a hint of vanilla. I saw those on sephoras site and they looked nice. I'll have to try them out the next time I'm at sephora.
