Recommendations for a light, floral perfume?

I am looking for a new perfume. I currently use Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet as my everyday perfume which I love, but I am looking for something new for the new year. I also like Philosophy Amazing Grace as it is light, fresh and simple. I also like Prada Candy Kiss but usually only wear that in the evening. I also like Marc Jacobs Daisy but I used it for a few years so have gotten a bit bored of it.

I find any perfumes with musk dry down really heavy on me and give me a headache. I am early 20s and just want something light, inoffensive and easy to wear. As a teenager I liked really sickly sweet perfumes which I cannot wear anymore as I find them nauseating so most of my collection I have outgrown.

Thank you

I'm loving Philosophy Baby Grace. Very light violet based scent. One of the few I have worn that people comment on.

Miracle by Lancome.

Shay and Blue do some beautiful ones. ASOS do the small handbag size ones that you can try before committing to a big bottle. I tried Lily la Luxe over the summer, gorgeous!

Bluesheep8 · 17/12/2019 06:01

SJP Lovely. It's a clean, fresh gentle floral. Or LE no 100 as a pp said.

Anyone wanting Jo Malone pls search online for Jenny Glow perfumes. The woman used to be a perfumier for JM but left and now copies the fragrances over in N.ireland for a fraction of the price. They really aren't bad!

I've had a sample of a Kew Rhubarb perfume, which is gorgeous and light

I recently purchased Jimmy Choo's Floral, which is really lovely - very fresh, and lightly floral.

Icypop · 20/12/2019 22:43

Gucci bloom

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 20/12/2019 22:45

Shay & Blue Peaches. Got it in the advent calendar this year. Really nice, and comes in a 30ml which goes in my bag.

SinglePringle · 20/12/2019 22:47

I hate most floral perfumes. The vast majority recommended in this thread make me want to saw my arm off after testing. Sweet, floral and so ubiquitous. I hate most High Street perfumes.

That said, I was surprised by one recently:

Memoir d’une Odeur, Gucci.

Light and with the scent of camomile. It’s beautiful, distinct, old school and classic. But youthful and easy. Works really well spritzed about the hair.

Florence & Fred - honey & jasmine - a seriously good dupe for Jo Malone honey blossom and nectarine
