Not strictly an AIBU, shamelessly posting for traffic.

My role is getting upgraded soon, with a lot more customer facing. This necessitates a wardrobe update (not exactly business formal, but not too far from it either). So far I've figured most items out, but I'm a bit stumped about my scent.

I'm rather sensitive, nose-wise, so it MUST be something light. Something that maybe would remind you of me if smelled elsewhere, but definitely not cause a need for an oxygen mask. I like scents like fresh mown grass, liquorice and spring ground after rain.

Any suggestions?

Escentric molecules. Molecules 01. I bought a sample off eBay to try it out. Lovely and light and so pleasant. I tried it after reading about it on MN. Seemingly it’s the scent people have had other women stop them and ask what they are wearing & the first day I wore it I did get colleagues asking.
They do several different scents but I haven’t tried any of the others yet

They do a discovery set so you can try out the others but I’m sticking with the one I like

Daisy by Marc Jacobs to me smells exactly like freshly mown grass

Another vote for Daisy, and I also like Jo Malone Orange Blossom. They’re both light and outdoorsy.

Its cheaper than the more expensive ones but I wear just pink from Next and always get compliments.

As soon as I read the OP's description this is what I was going to recommend.

Really striking, but light and not overpowering. Never had so many compliments, people really notice it.

JLo original fragrance. May sound tacky as endorsed by a celebrity but it smells light and clean. I believe made by coty so good quality. It's lovely.

Does the word “scent” used for perfume not give anybody else the willies?!

Mykittensmittens · 21/12/2021 17:58

I like a light spray of the original DKNY for work. It’s different and not heavy.

Or cabotine rose which is very light.

Petrichor by liibrary of fragrance

Daleksatemyshed · 21/12/2021 18:02

M&S have some beautiful fruit/flower perfumes, quite light fragrance so
not overpowering. The Peony and Rhubarb sounds weird but it's lovely and a 100ml bottle of Eau de Toilette is only about £12 so very reasonably priced
