Perfume ideas please

[Multicolouredsequins]

Hello, looking for a new scent and struggling to find one. Something strong, classic, classy and feminine. I dislike anything musky or that smells of lilies. Not too woody or masculine, but not too flowery or sugary either. I used to use Chance by Chanel which ticks a lot of boxes, but got a bit bored of it, same with Issey Miyake. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thank you!

Lovely by SJP. Not at all woody or musky, only very slightly floral and not in a sweet way. Just smells clean, comforting and classic to me. It has a kind of familiarity to it.

Chanel Cristalle EDP.

Dior J'adore

I like chance and currently wear:

Vilhelm Perfumerie Dear Polly
Le labo Santal 33
Atelier Bloom Extraordinary Tulips
Atelier Cologne Iris Rebelle

I think Santal 33 probably suits your requirements most closely. Dear Polly is also gorgeous.

Extraordinary Tulips is very strong and feminine (and obviously floral) but musky - I get a lot of compliments on it.

Iris Rebelle is lower key - perfect for everyday.

Many thanks for all the suggestions, really helpful x

I wear Armani Si which isn't flowery or musky and get alot of compliments on it .

I'm a big fan of tuberose, which is floral but strongly scented. My preferred scents are:

Dior Addict
Michael Kors (the original)
Givenchy Amarige
Tom Ford Black Opium
Estée Lauder Tuberose Gardenia

Another vote for Armani Si.

I wear the green Chanel Chance but I have a few different scents on the go as I feel like some are better in different seasons and some are better for daytime or going out.

I also have:

Hugo Boss - The Scent
Chanel - Gabrielle
YSL - Libre
Viktor & Rolf - Flowerbomb Midnight

Chanel mademoiselle

Chanel Cristalle EDP.

I love this and I always go back to it. Did you get to smell Tom Ford's Vert Boheme before they discontinued it? it was lovely, similar but even more expensive. I preferred it slightly and would have bought it for my 50th but they had discontinued it!

@Anfiadh I really liked Vert Boheme when I tried it and I would have bought a bottle had it been around for longer.

But I currently have so many variations on a theme. I have two bottles of the discontinued Estée Lauder's Jasmine White Moss which is a richer more floral riff on the Cristalle theme. Also two bottles of Vintage Private Collection - a seventies inspired very oakmossy variation. Plus Clinique Wrappings - a darker green pine/oak moss infused wintry perfume and finally Fleur du Matin - an astringent summery herbal citrus 😂

@fferny1 thanks for that list, I will try those because I do seem to like the theme!

I have just gone back to J'Adore.
Might Cartier Panthere tick your boxes?

Many thanks for the suggestions, need to go to Fenwick's and have a good sniff of some of these! The descriptions above are wonderful, you all sound like professional parfumiers! X

Just place marking here I'm always on the lookout for new scents to try.
