Recommend me a perfume

I'm desperately looking for a new perfume but can't find anything I like.
These are some of the ones I've liked in the past:

  • jo malone amber patchouli - I absolutely love this but sadly has been discontinued
  • amber from Jesus del povo. Love it as well but lasts for less than 10mins
  • Estee lauder's sensuous noir. Also love it but find it a bit heavy for day time
  • ellie saab's perfume. I'm wearing this at the moment and can't decide if I love it or not. Sometimes smells orangey and special but other times I can only smell the honey flower sweetness and I find it too sickly.

So all you knowledgeable ladies - please please suggest me something I may like!

I should add that from the description i thought coromandel from chanel would be the one but really didn't like it.

And also never smelled a tomorrow ford I really liked but have only tried a couple of them

Have you tried knowing by Estée Lauder?

LaCerbiatta · 09/12/2016 21:06

I think so. It's very balsamic isn't it? Didn't like it

Oops posted too soon. It's an oriental vanilla with orange and lime in as well as Rose. It's a rich fragrance but not overpowering or sickly. It lasts very well and always makes me feel together and sexy.

Have you tried Ambre by L'occitane?

Jo Malone do Dark amber and gingerlily...
Also have a look at Jo Loves (which is Jo Malones' own shop)

Shalimar is lovely

This is the one I wear most and I love it because you can't really smell it on yourself but it always gets compliments www.luckyscent.com/product/30800/molecule-01-by-escentric-molecules
