I also have a hard time imagining which scents actually suit me. I've currently got 3 perfumes that are basically total opposites of each other: Prada L'Eau Ambree (discontinued?) Joe Malone Earl Grey and Cucumber and Serge Lutens La Fille de Berlin which is rose-based but much nicer than most rose scents...

I also was like you - I grew up thinking I hated perfume, because all I ever smelled were the overpowering mainstream department store fragrances that made me feel sick. then I discovered niche lines and realized perfume truly is an art! I think the first perfume that made me realize this (strange, since I do not like this perfume really) was Hermes Un Jardin Apres le Mousson - I was shocked that it didn't smell like any "perfume" I'd smelled & it really did smell like fresh rain! Keep up with perfume reviews, I love them :)Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02533306215623884974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589727970044632991.post-52759637411310554192012-03-16T14:20:13.242-04:002012-03-16T14:20:13.242-04:00I'm definitely at the stage where I want to di...I'm definitely at the stage where I want to discover more of the niche brands like L'Artisan, Frederick Malle, L'Histoire des Parfums etc...

I first started becoming...Love, love, love perfume. I first started becoming intrigued after visiting the Grasse region in 2000, but couldn't find anything in department stores that spoke to me. Something about the synthetic musks and fixatives that most of those brands use was noxious to me. <br /><br />I discovered Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab a few years later, and that opened me up to the idea of hand-made, oil-based perfumes. They are still my favorite brand for a variety of reasons, and through that experience I got into other natural and niche perfumes (Ayala Moriel, Sweet Anthem, Andy Tauer) and then began dipping my toes back into more commercial but still niche perfumes, like Tom Ford, l'Artisan, and then full circle back to some of the more well-done, big-brand 'fumes.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395441690192175066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589727970044632991.post-63686182144966113342012-03-15T03:29:33.416-04:002012-03-15T03:29:33.416-04:00The bottle is super cute and girly

And I find it interesting how what appeals to us and how that changes too.<br />One of my favourite fragrances is really simple-Jo Malone Orange Blossom. But it also reminds me of my childhood and my mother so I really love it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
