Help please dear perfumistas

[Dryroseplease]

I have been a lurker for ages and have joined just to ask this question. I love what I think of as the powdery end of some perfumes. For example I love the way the new Givenchy L’Interdit smells after an hour or so on my skin and clothes - unfortunately I really dislike it as it goes on in the first place - my husband describes it as like Airwick. I would be grateful if you could tell me what you think this note is - vanilla ? Amber ? and any perfume suggestions.
If it helps, I am approaching 50 and loathe overly sweet scents. I get on well with Estée Lauder scents ( Modern Muse, Sensous Noir etc) but with menopause find that much of what I have liked before now smells ‘off’ on my skin. Thanks

Just bumping this thread for you, @Dryroseplease, in case any of our experts are around to give you some advice.

I'm a strange being and I wear Fahrenheit.

Noit an expert at all but a lot of sweet perfumes have vanilla in them. I mainly hate sweet perfumes and they nearly all are vanilla heavy. Those that are more classic and have vanilla in, have been better made so the vanilla softens but does not shrill.

Hopefully someone who knows what they are talking about will be along soon!!!

I think you might be picking up on tuberose which is quite sweet bubblegum/grape in that perfume.
