Le Labo Bergamote 22 (citrusy and woody, nice for summer)

Aesop Hwyl (smoky, earthy, and masculine but not heavy)

Sana Jardin Revolution de la Fleur (if you like feminine florals, this one is really pretty)

DS & Durga Debaser (interesting green fig)

Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 (hard to describe and can be elusive as not everyone can detect the single note in the scent, but it’s the kind of thing that strangers will randomly give you compliments about)

Diptyque Eau Duelle (spicy vanilla scent that doesn’t smell like food; the eau de toilette is better than the eau de parfum, imo, as the latter can be heady)

Diptyque scents in general are really nice. They offer some of the fragrance line in hair mists that are more subtle than perfume if that’s something that appeals to you.

And just adding one more thing—Nuxe makes a body oil that can work as a perfume substitute. Everyone in France probably smells like it, but here in the US it’s another scent that strangers will stop and ask you about.

They're all offensive.

It's 2024 -- we've learned to take others' ability to breathe into consideration.

I love perfumes personally. I enjoy being in public and getting a whiff of something very pleasant. Beats BO and exhaust fumes.

Same.

I was with various people wearing perfume and love that whiff. They wear perfume right. It’s a hint and not overpowering.

OP

NP. How does one wear perfume right so it is just a whiff? Apply by hand or rollerball instead of using a sprayer? Just behind the ears or on wrists? I want to know tips!

I like to wear scented lotions and body oils. Most of the scent fades quickly so you are left with a subtle scent (sometimes too subtle, which is why I am asking the above perfume application questions).

I wear le labo rose 31. It's rose with a spicy clove layer. truly unisex. It's definitely a personal fragrance--stays close to the skin but makes my clothing smell amazing.
