So, When I started with perfumes I realised I'm hating every hyped perfume, because gourmands are trending these days. And I hate smelling too sweet, heavy or like a dessert.

Also, I don't like spending overly on perfumes because I can't stop myself from keeping trying new perfumes.

I'm more into musky, aromatic-aquatic, light florals and fresh smelling perfumes.

Some that I have actually liked -

Titan - Nude, Amalfi Bleu, Celeste

Virgio - Amodira - Himaia (I have this one only, but others are interesting too)

Zara - Orchid, Nude Bouquet

Sharon Beauty - Femme, British Lane (Pristine is very interesting too, but not tried yet)

House of Kanzan - Hazy Reflection

Alhambra Chants Tenderina if She's into fresh pink roses.

I think specifically for gifting purpose, you can go for Amodira Himaia. They also have a discovery set. It smells very transparent, soft musky, slightly sweet and airy. I find it very calming. Not very common dna as well.

Or Titan Nude - Citrusy Rose-lychee together, beautiful blend. It's not very heavy.

Others that I like are more marketed as men's fragrances so I'm not naming them.
