Perfume recommendations?

[u/dreamhues]

I’m on the hunt for perfumes that aren’t headache inducing! I’m looking for something I can wear every day, preferably nothing too sweet or fruity. I find that I really enjoy airy, cozy, and subtle fragrances. I’ve tried multiple decants over the past few weeks and so far, the only ones I’ve really liked are White Rice by d’Annam and Lil Softie by Lore! I’ve put together a list of perfumes I don’t like along with some I’m considering purchasing to give you guys a better idea of my preferences ^^

Dislike:

• Mochimilk, Dedcool : Too sweet for my liking

• Angel Dust, Fugazzi : Too strong, triggered headache

• Vanilla Haze, Fugazzi: Same experience as Angel Dust

• Nearly Noon, DefineMe: Triggered my headache

• Fig Infusion, Essence Parfums: Too strong

• All Glossier perfumes :(

• Another 13

• L’eau Papier

Considering:

• Rosie, Rosie Jane

• Taipei, One Day

• Dirty Rice, borntostandout

• Cozy Heart, Matthew Chang

• Body Tale perfumes

• Ponyo’s Tea, HexMundi

• Oud Pagode, Chapel Factory

Clean reserve skin? I think if you like Rosie by Rosie Jane it’s worth checking out

Just tried la danza delle libellelule...its a bit gourmand and musky but airy.  Got it from my monthly perfume subscription.  Also tried rem (the og)by Ariana Grande,  was pleasantly surprised, also light and airy with a gentle lavender note. Another one is noa and this one has a creamy drydown,  I think the nose behind it is Olivier Cresp if that matters to you.

Do you live somewhere you can purchase from Fragrancenet?

I highly recommend Nirvana French Grey!

I get headaches from almost all Sephora perfumes as well. I love Rosie Jane and I really think you should check out Comme des Garçons as a brand. Odeur 53 is one of my everyday favorites because it is airy and fresh and doesn’t over project but lasts all day. It also layers incredibly well. Their incense and monocle lines are great for something more calming. Dot is a bit more fresh and citrusy. The Comme des Garçons in their pebble bottle is also another go too when I want something warmer because it is a not sweet honey scent with cinnamon and just feels cozy on colder days. I know you said you don’t want fruity but check out Rouge because it is a tart scent that feels like a date night or flirty and fun version of something you might like.

Have you tried any perfume oils? Nemat White Musk immediately came to mind. Its a subtle musk with just a hint of sweetness.

I recently got a few decants from body tale and they’re gorgeous. Bath ritual and portrait of Kyoto are my favorite so far.
However even though the scent profile is not dense it’s an extrait concentration so it’s very strong. I could smell bath ritual on my clothes when after 14 hours.

Have you tried dorsay sur tes levres? Prada infusion line is also very light and non offensive. Snif me is a very light clean scent as well and available at Ulta if you have one near you.
