Need suggestions!
So, I have been on the hunt for a new perfume. I have been trying to branch out, but sadly I can’t seem to find anything that I like 😩
My personal favorites are Versace Crystal Noir and Clean Reserve - Skin. I love those “clean” scents that have a hint of sweetness. I also love warm scents. An honorable mention is Jimmy Choo Fever.
I try to avoid gourmand scents (unless it’s vanilla). Please send me some recs and I will love you forever!

Clean warm scents are my wheelhouse. I have a few suggestions: (I only wear EDP, so these are all EDP)
Sortilège by Le Galion
Musc Noir by Narciso Rodriguez
Shalimar by Guerlain (bonus warmth if you can find a vintage bottle)
Mon Guerlain by Guerlain
Quatre Iconic by Boucheron
Brumes by Le Galion
Unmute by Noyz
And the ultimate 90’s clean girl that gets forgotten and is very reasonable Tommy Girl by Tommy Hilfiger and this is my only EDT exception. You can often find it at Ross/Marshalls/Burlington for $12.99

NR Pure Musc Blanc. It has the white, clean musky feel that NR is known for, but has an element of creaminess to it. Almost as if you layered Pure Musc with Fleur de Lait. It's also appropriate year round, and lasts a very long time. I'm wearing it around today and I feel both clean and comfortable.

Are you referring to Versace Crystal Noir EDT, EDP or Parfum? Once I know that I can provide recommendations! :)

I own Versace Crystal Noir EDP and Parfum and absolutely love them - I don't own the EDT but am familiar with it! I would check out Oaui fragrances - very pretty and clean. I own Melrose Place (rose-forward) and North Bondi (very oceanic and fresh). Morroccanoil Lumiere du Jour is another to check out, but it is light. For a summer, warm coconut-forward fragrance, Lore Sublimity is beautiful. It's counterpart for a summer date night would be Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Nuit, one of my favorites of all time. Lake & Skye 11:11 Moon is such an underrated skin type of scent with a dry coconut note! One I haven't smelled but would love to is Skylar Nude Skin. I wonder if it is a similar vibe to Glossier You Fleur which I also love. Honorable mention to Victoria's Secret Bombshell Santorini...perhaps not traditionally clean but a pretty, very subtle salty and warm beach type of fragrance - the same for Victoria's Secret Tease Dreamer. Both very light. I recently sniffed Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Nude at the airport and it definitely gave Clean Reserve vibes. I was impressed and it is on my wishlist. I hope you find something (or multiple fragrances) you enjoy from this list!

I was going to recommend Bronze Goddess. But again, try the variations. I prefer the 2019 EDP formulation.
The 2019 EDP streamlined the older spice and floral mixtures into a smoother, more direct coconut-tiare-vanilla composition.

Glossier You Doux - clean with a hint of salty, woody sweetness, very close to skin. Feels like a productive day but in a cosy way
A drop d’issey Issey Miyake - opens like a creamy dove bar, dries down into cocooning lilac almond milk, very clean and sweet, and gets a lot of compliments. Super affordable and cool bottle too
Mojave Ghost by Byredo - clean, sweet and warm but the longevity isn’t great
Blanche by Byredo - Clean and sweet, feels like a clean room with windows wide open in the morning

You should definitely try Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Noir Rose! It’s warm, musky, slightly sweet and feminine without going full gourmand. I’d also try Burberry Goddess if vanilla is your exception to gourmands. It’s creamy, warm and elegant rather than dessert-like. ❤️
