Good scent recommendations for a picky gal

[Jessiaileen]

I love perfume but I’m very picky and hate standing around forever sampling everything, my favorite scent is vanilla so I like soft sweet smells, nothing too heavy, if you have any recommendations please let me know.

I'm super picky myself, so I went to a professional nez in Paris (a person with a trained nose for perfume) to find my dream scent.  Blindly (the nez does not show you the bottle), I selected Anyways, by Juliette has a Gun.  It was different, but still subtle enough I could wear every day.  I wrote a whole blog about this experience and my obsession with the juliette has a gun line, here

La vie est belle by Lancôme! Fell in love with it in middle school, still love it now, it’s the one perfume that every time I️ wear it people are asking me what it is. There’s also it in a floral version I️ believe.

@Jessiaileen If you like vanilla, then you may enjoy Philosophy Fresh Cream 🙂

Elizabeth and James nirvana 🌹 is my absolute favorite. I’m very picky w scents as well. This one is so warm and shuttle. And I’m always getting compliments on it. Should definitely try it out. Another good on is black opium by ysl

yes, vanilla (...soon to reach the price of gold)

here are some vanilla fragrances that i find are mild, soft, beautiful, and smell like real vanilla :

Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean (any day of the year)

Shalimar Eau de Parfum (2009edition, rich bouquet, a bit busy)

Vanille Exquise Annick Goutal(2004, if you can still find it)

Vanille Insensee Atelier Cologne (exquisite)

Vanilla Fields by Coty (seriously, one of the best, uncomplicated vanilla's)

Vanderbilt by Gloria Vanderbilt (soft sweet floral vanilla, very lovely)

Tangier Vanille Aerin Lauder (dreamy, luscious)

L'Instant de Guerlain by Guerlain (nice, but too thick n sweet for me)

Alien Essence Absolue by Thierry Mugler (wow, attractive, sensuous)

I absolutely love Dior Blooming Bouquet and I’m not a huge perfume wearer. They can give me headaches, but this one is amazing!!!
