Fragrance junkie here....

Personally cannot wear any alcohol (commercial) based perfumes.....they react badly with my skin.

The best thing you can do is ask for a sample...Sephora gives out good ones.
The initial scent is different than the dry down....so you need about a half hour before you know if you will like it or not.

Vanilla scents are quite popular as men are drawn to them...

Personally not a fan of perfumes with the names of the pop star of the moment on them....

There are complex scents (Anything by Guerlain) all the way to simple, one note scents (vanilla extract out of your pantry).
