I long to find a lovely perfume that I really love. But I am just not a "perfume person". I find spending more than a few minutes smelling different perfumes leaves me feeling sick with a headache. And a lot of perfume smells the same to me - overpowering and just... "perfumey". I got a scent selection once and all but one smelt horrible (to me) and the one I liked was just OK, it didn't warrant a repurchase.
I wore J'Adore when I was younger, which again was OK but to be honest it smelt much better on my friend than it did on me (which was why I started wearing it, she always smelt so good!).
I have recently started using Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentré and I LOVE the smell. It has re-awoken the desire to find a scent that I love. There must be one out there for me?
I am looking for recommendations of things I might try/sample... I am not sure what the Embryolisse smells of exactly, but it is a soft light sweetish floral scent (I think). I like smells like jasmine/honeysuckle/hyacinth, etc. but I have never found a perfume that gives that kind of smell and they all have so many notes. I think I want something simple!
I have an ancient Boots Natural Collection roll-on perfume that was jasmine and nutmeg. It's probably 20 years old so I don't use it anymore but I can't bear to part with it as I love the smell!
Am I a lost cause? I am thinking of trying scent box but worried I will just end up disappointed.
