Long story as to reasons why but I’ve not worn fragrance for a couple of decades.
I’m looking for a couple of different fragrances for day and night.
Nighttime I like quite heavy spicy, woody scent. I loved Dior Poison back in the day and was gifted a bottle last year. I have been wearing it but I realise I don’t want to go back and would prefer to find something that suits the new me.
Daytime my absolute fave is Eternity by CK and I will still wear this even though I know it’s old school but it would be nice to have another to change it up. For this I’m more open to suggestions but nothing floral/flowery.

Go and have a play on Fragrantica.com

You get descriptions of practically every scent ever made, and can compare to ones you like. Loads of reviews too. Search by the ‘notes’ you know you like.

I think you'd like Liz Earle Botanical Essence number 15.

Hi! I'm a perfume blogger. Hope I can help. If you like Poison then that's a massive jasmine and tuberose floral, so you maybe you like them without realising? If you want something for the evening and you want to go down the spice route, try YSL Opium or Chanel Coco. If you like Eternity you might also like Armani Acqua di Gio or Gucci Bamboo. If you want to stick to tuberose but fancy a change, try Gucci Bloom.

As far as samples go, try The Perfume Society Discovery Boxes, Fragrance Samples UK or even the Feel Unique pick'n'mix service where you can pick 5 samples a month.

There's lots of ideas on my blog and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have too. I love matchmaking!
