If I like Gucci Orange and hate most other perfume, what might I like?

[RiffyWammal]

I can tolerate ckOne and SJP's Lovely, but other perfumes give me a sick headache. I find them too heavy, artificial and cloying, and if I try perfumes in a shop I end up feeling overwhelmed and slightly ill. I would like to try something different, I'm going to the Bullring before xmas so should have plenty of choice - what do you lovely MNetters suggest I sniff out?

If it helps, I love Yankee Candles, but only the food-themed ones, like cinnamon, spice, and cherry.

I haven't smelt Gucci orange but going by the name Clinique happy? It's quite sweet and citrus smelling

Compiling our Xmas list are we

Have you tried looking fragrantica to find suggestions of what you might like? I'd guess, given what type of candle smells you like, that you might like gourmand type perfumes. Give fragrantica a shot, it'll throw up all sorts of suggestions for you

Thankyou, I will check those out.

I remembered another smell I really like - patchouli. I like the smell of Angel when it wafts past me but I couldn't bear it on my skin, it's much too strong.

You might like white patchouli by tom ford. It's in a white glass bottle. It is delicate but sumptuous all at once. It's lovely...

Try Dune by Dior.

Joop? The original one? I love it.

Actually it might be too heavy.

You might like this Guerlain one. I love it. Very citrus.

Damn. Don't seem to be able to do a proper link from the iPhone. It's the mandarine basilic one.

Ooh these all sound great. Apart from Joop! The men's version anyway is one of the absolute worst for making me feel ill! I had to ban my DS's and DH from using it.

Please keep the suggestions coming, I am going to compile a list and try them all when I go to Brum.

DKNY original
D&G blue
If its still about, CK One summer

Have you tried Marc Jacobs, especially Daisy? Very light.

You might like Prada Infusion D'Iris, that's light & fresh.
