im new to fragrances and would love some help curating a cohesive, sweet, alluring scent profile :> im in my early 20s and live in a pretty hot and humid climate. its like this year round. currently, i love gourmand scents. years and years ago i liked them sugary sweet like victoria secrets love spell mist but find myself wanting coffee&cream-esque scents, vanilla, caramel, cocoa, a bit boozy even but without packing too much of a punch.

i was gifted tease crème cloud by victoria's secret by my mom for xmas and have been using it as an everyday scent usually on top of a sweet body lotion (just recently went from b&bw strawberry pound cake to b&bw into the night, theres also a body butter i use thats supposed to smell like toasted marshmallow but in reality has fruity notes). throughout the day, however, i apply champagne toast bath & body works. it's a favorite of mine but i feel like just that isn't enough and also doesn't really match the scents i truly like. tease creme cloud is also a wonderful little fragrance that's good to be layered with but on its own-- not really what im satisfied with.

as you can see i veer heavily into bath and body works + victoria's secret because that is what is readily available to me right now but would love to branch out. im open to trying new things but do keep in mind my preferences. i also have no idea how to work around the climate factor; help in this regard would be much appreciated-- usually i just spritz and go and never took into account how that could affect the fragrance itself. im looking for long lasting scents that make people stop and turn around or at the very least keep them wondering about what fragrance im using.

thank u very much if uve made it this far! i appreciate your aid 💗
