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

Tocca Florence. It's bergamot and gardenia and it's so light and pretty. I get sooooo many compliments.

Another note for Boss Femme here!

If you want light yet floral you want something with a floral scent like neroli/orange blossom or Iris.

Mentioned upthread Prada Infusions d'Iris is a beautiful clean soapy floral. One of my go to comfort scents.

Or, something simple and linear like a Jo Malone-alike

Noa by Cacharel is also a very clean scent

I love Liz Earle 1 but that's a summer citrus so I've packed it away until next year.

The Chanel Chances are all quite light too- marketed for the younger Chanel wearer, dd (16) has all of them and they're not bad. Gabrielle is also quite light for a Chanel. The Eaux range are all fabulous but spendy.

Coco mademoiselle edt is lovely too

Like a PP said Anais Anais by Cacharel.
I know its an old one but I worked with a woman who wore it and she always smelled so fresh. Whenever I spot the bottle I always think of how good she smelled.
Its rubbish on me but I wear dark, heavy fragrances.
It's also really reasonably priced.

Fragonard fleur d’orangier is nice. Light and subtle.

Anaïs Anaïs is still lovely (if you get the one with "originale" on the packaging, there are now 2 and the non "originale" is a heavy cloying sweet monstrosity. Not sure I'd describe even the original as a "light floral" but it's still lovely.

Clinique happy (the original)

Dior Joy is really nice

O de lancome

ChishandFips33 · 23/12/2019 04:11

Clinque happy here too.

Wore it years ago and have just bought another bottle and love it all over again
