And I never knew you were into this thing! Not in all the hours of talking we've done! (Which I think is wonderful ... people should be fractile-ish ... always another dimension to uncover, no matter how closely you look ... .)
The regular ol' perfumes I like are all classified as "fruity florals," but the fruits aren't really sweet - I guess they must be citrus things or melon or something. So I was trying things with those kinds of ingredients.
I know what you mean about "smelling like something." So many perfumes, to me, just smell like ... perfume. Who cares about something that smells like that?
The other inspiration I have for picking these things will be the two scented body lotions that I like - I had almost forgotten about them because I wear them (I alternate between them) only once the heat needs to be on. Thymes' "Green Tea" has tea, woody, and rose scents in it, and Origins "Ginger Souffle" has orange flower water, citrus, eucalyptus, and lots and lots of spices (mostly ginger, obviously).
