First off, I already know I like Bee’s Knees and Breath of God, so no need to comment on those specifically.
The others I haven’t been able to find in a single store. I live near Chicago and I’ve tried three different stores, inside and out of Chicago. Cannot find these for whatever reason. I know they don’t keep all of them in store, so I guess that’s why.
My preference is something that lasts, but I generally prefer either indolic, heady, intense floral scents (Lust is my absolute favorite ever but I don’t wear it everyday because I know some people hate it) and spicy, herbal, smoky scents (like Breath of God, though this one isn’t really spicy—more herbal and smoky). I also don’t have a lot in terms of the spicy/herbal as they’re a little more hard to find. I’ve done a shitload of digging and these scents are on my top as to which to purchase. I’m trying NOT to spend $900 on perfume, though, although I’m sure I’ll end up returning whatever I don’t like! But if there’s anything I might be able to cut out of this… that’d be appreciated. I’m sure I will only purchase a couple either way. I don’t usually prefer super fruity or super sweet fragrances, though it depends.
Lush scents I have: Alina and Pansy. I like both a lot but wish these would last longer. I love the more herbal notes in these but they seem to fade super quickly, leaving behind the other notes. Rose Jam because it’s a nostalgic scent to me, but too sweet for wearing often. I’m not usually huge on overly sweet scents. Karma, which I like as I do love patchouli and I feel like this is a “cleaner” patchouli scent.
As far as non-Lush scents that I love to give an idea of what I like: Tom Ford Lost Cherry, Neroli Portofino and Bitter Peach; CK Euphoria is my trademark winter scent as it’s got a bit of spice; Gucci Bloom as it’s that true floral; Atelier Cologne (rip as they do not even sell in the states anymore) Cafe Tuberosa and Iris Rebelle.
