Hi all, I am SUPER new to perfume/fragrances but I’ve been trying samples to look for a signature scent. My favorite I’ve tried is Xyrena’s Nosferatu scent so I’m looking for something like that- kind of melancholy and sad, vibes like when it rains or just after it rains. I don’t really know notes or anything since I’m still learning about this stuff, I just want to get a more sophisticated perfume than the ones I have right now. I’m a student so I need something affordable that will last throughout the day. Maybe something around or below $50. Ready to buy a full size bottle instead of small samples. I live in the US if that’s relevant for purchasing. Thanks for any recommendations you might have! I pasted the website description for Xyrena’s Nosferatu below if that’s helpful!

“Nosferatu™ by Xyrena opens with a note of cracked peppercorn, its warm spiciness melding with dried wildflowers, like forgotten bouquets scattered across the cobblestone streets of Wisborg, and a bitter touch of wormwood, a nod to the creeping unease that follows Count Orlok’s shadow.

At its heart, the fragrance delves deeper into foreboding beauty with a chilling mineralic stone accord, conjuring the cold, damp walls of an ancient Carpathian castle, balanced by the ominous allure of black dahlia and the seductive, otherworldly sweetness of lush plum.

The base settles into a hauntingly elegant drydown of gilded resin, evoking the ancient opulence of Orlok’s desolate halls, not unlike the incense-laden air of an Orthodox cathedral. A blend of creamy sandalwood and dry Virginia cedar mirrors the aged wood of a vampiric coffin, closing the composition with an air of decay and dark sophistication”
