Anything with heavy musks in dries down awfully on me, and I hate that heavy musk you can smell in lots of sweet perfumes.
My previous perfumes were Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet, and Marc Jacobs Daisy which I still like as they smell light and fresh but the smell is heavily associated with memories from the last few years, and I want to get a new perfume as I've had a bit of a fresh start recently and started a new job.
Other perfumes I have and have liked include Prada Candy Kiss, and Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream but I find them both a bit too heavy for wearing in the day (e.g. to the office). I also like the Philosophy Amazing Grace perfume. I also own the Chloe Love Story perfume which I like but feels like it's missing 'something'.
Perfumes I've tried and don't like: Miss Dior (too heavy/musky), Miss Dior Roses 'n Roses (too overly sweet, I'd have probably liked it when I was a teenager) and Flowerbomb (way too heavy/musky on me).
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you
