People who know perfumes please can you advise

If I like Jo Malone Bay and Blackberry, what else might I like?

I particularly like it when its newly on and is more fresh rather than sweet (which it becomes later). It smells of green, early summer mornings, sour unripe brambles and joy... :D

Having avoided perfume as department stores give me headaches I was so excited to find something I wanted to smell of! Now I am curious, perhaps there is more to perfume than Poison and its overpowering neighbours in John Lewis...

Tom Ford Italian Cypress. Smells very green and the dry-down isn't woodsy or musky like most other perfumes. Can till smell the raw, fresh greeny feeling the next day.

Try a sample. You may find it too soapy or too male cologne. But I just adore it!! My skin doesn't (reacts very weirdly) but I cant let go. I now use it on clothing and hair....

My first thought was Guerlain's Herba Fresca - (it's supposed to be green tea and mint but it doesn't smell of that it smells almost of wet summer grass through the lens of perfume IYSWIM) it is very fresh and green and somehow warm at the same time, and feels like early summer mornings.

I also like Hermes Un Jardin series, my favourite is Un Jardin Sur Le Nil, which again is fresh and green but sort of exotic and lush at the same time.

yy herba fresca and Jardin sur nil. Also Hermes Jardin apres mousson (sp)

Oooh! Thank you very much for recommendations, I am so excited by this new world of scent. I don't know where I will find them to try though as nearest department stores have none of the above.

Diptique Eau Duelle, surprised how much I like it given I am not a vanilla fan but it has a lovely depth to it from frankincense and pink peppercorn it's a really warm and lovely scent not at all sweet.

Diptyque L'ombre Dans L'Eau is lovely too (my personal fave)

Thank you, I have a list to seek out now. I had entirely forgotten the excitement of applying perfume, I last did when 17 and I am tapping into that same feeling more than 20 years later, bonus, its so much more than just the smell!!
