((((HB)))) any of the large department stores have samples galore. I love basenotes.net, too
I think any professional at the counter would love to help you find the right scent, just for you. It sounds as if you favor floral/earth notes.

One of my very fave places to go to is usually found in malls and they have their own website, too. All things self care, beauty, skin, perfumes. The people that work there are great, too. It is a pleasant experience esp if you aren't comfortable with the dept store scene. They really know their "stuff" and dont put on the sales pressure thing.

True parfum, doesnt take much. Just a dab at pulse points. EDT is a "schpritz will do". You will also have fun seeing how the top, middle, base notes react with your body chem...for example, when you first put a little on, the first scent that will hit you and then as it settles, how it smells differently. PM me if you want and I will send you the names of the places I am thinking of for shopping/sampling.

Have fun! Let us know how it goes
