i am very new to being interested in fragrances beyond my stand-by scents that i discovered i like years ago, and will do my best to describe what it is i am looking for.
i am into very earthy/herbal/musky/floral fragrances. i generally just use nemat's egyptian musk, patchouli, or nag champa on their own. egyptian musk is my all time favorite. there is also a product called "zum mist" by a company called indigo wild that comes in a "sea salt" scent that i love, but im not sure what is in it. i can at least detect lemon and patchouli i think but cannot say for sure.
ive recently tried paa's take on plum japonais on a whim and have found that i really like it, which is surprising for me because i dont normally like straight up cologne/perfume. there is something about a lot of colognes that i cannot necessarily put my finger on, but i really dont like it. the best way for me to describe it is a stringent sort of scent that smells like it's going for a stereotypical, chemically "man" smell.
i really like citrus scents too as long as they are not too reminiscent of floor cleaner. i have not yet tried acqua di parma but that is something i intend to do.
im looking for recommendations for things that are in my wheelhouse based on what ive elaborated on here. things that are less like a cologne and more like a collection of natural scents, if that even makes any sense. i am mostly looking for low cost high value stuff but am open to suggestions outside of that too of course.
hopefully ive done an okay job of articulating myself here.
