Hello, everybody!
Here I am again looking for recommendations, this time for my work place. I do rock some amber-spicy/floral perfumes at work now, and they are lovely. However, I work in preschool/kindergarten and I have to be mindful of what I spray on myself. I wash my clothes with unscented detergent, and my shower and hair products are pretty neutral. I sparingly used Black Orchid Eau de Parfum and Opium (1977) Eau de Toilette during the past winter and spring, and the kiddos absolutely loved it! Hugging them everyday and them saying “Miss, you smell so good!” was a delight, because of their sensitive noses. I don’t want to cause them any discomfort, so I only spray once on my chest in the morning, the perfumes are only detectable when you go in for a hug (and you’re a tiny person lol).
However, I now am looking for something lighter and brighter and happier for work. I have my sexy, mysterious, and dark perfumes and decants, but I feel it’s time to take another step in my perfume journey. Since I seem to prefer niche houses, I would love to try out a bunch of inoffensive yet unique fragrances. Me and gourmands don’t really click, and even if I’d love to love citrus heavy perfumes, we don’t click either. And I don’t like rose or vanilla so much.
For reference, I have been looking for something in the same category as vintage Eden, vintage 1881 pour Femme (1995) Eau de Toilette and vintage Laura Eau de Parfum.
It doesn’t have to be vintage, or from the 90’s, but something that is light, ethereal, airy and like water colours. It can be fresh, floral, powdery, creamy, chypre (never tried it though!), Green, resinous, spicy, oriental. I am looking for something unisex, or feminine leaning unisex.
Nothing that knocks you out, I’ll save those for the weekends lol.
