I have been looking for years for a really fresh scent that actually lasts. I love fresh air, clean bathwater scents. A bit of citrus, wood or fruit is fine if the note is fresh not too fruity. I love tobacco and sweetgrass notes. Favourite florals are rose, jasmine and geranium but not too overpowering.
I've been wearing Eau Ressourçante by Clarins for years. I really love that scent but it just doesn't last. I usually use Applejuice by Zara as a body spray in summer, but last year I found the smell had gone before I even left the house.
In the past I adored eau de Givenchy but they seem to have changed its recipe, or my skin has changed as I age. It doesn't smell good any more.
It's so long since anyone said, 'You smell nice!' I miss that.
Happy to consider dupes and real scents. Any suggestions?
