Hi @seleves! For better answers, include:

Reference pictures
Budget in numbers
Specific measurements
Openness to buying secondhand and/or online
Location: country/continent is fine
Timing/urgency

NOT Dior Sauvage or Rabanne One Million
This is for your own good

Besides that I think your best shot would be to go to a store and try out perfumes on yourself
Sometimes the same scent smells entirely different on different people

calvin klein one

yeah, im not thinking about dior savage, in my country everyone talks about it like a red flag

Tbh get a bunch of samples and use them all up - by the time you’re done your tastes will have changed enough for the next bunch of samples

selevesOP•12/19/25, 12:57 PM

ok, ill find out if i have any store with samples nearby

Otherwise you can order these online as well - most specialty fragrance shops will offer to either buy a bottle or get a sample of sth

It’s also a fun way to get at fragrances outside of your price range

I once bought these for a friend and they loved them, maybe it’s sth for you as well

There are also sites that’ll sell what the fragrance hobby calls “decants”, which is just a word for taking a big bottle of fragrance and splitting it up into smaller bottles to sell for cheaper. You can usually get stuff in sizes as small as 1-2ml, which is great for dipping your toes into something. Do a check online before ordering to make sure the site is trustworthy (idk where you are so idk what the big sites are there), but it’s a great way to start figuring out what you like, and doesn’t necessarily tie you to starting with one brand (which may or may not do all things equally well)
