Thanks so much for the links and the info. :) I appreciate it.
Part of my problem is that I don't really know what I like. I didn't grow up with women who were into perfume, so until now, I hadn't really smelled many perfumes that weren't made by Estee Lauder or Clinique. I've also always lived in pretty rural areas so my access to much beyond drugstore/cosmetic house perfumes has been fairly limited.
I know that I like most citrus and most "green" smells and most herbal smells, also lavender, myrrh, white musk. I know that I don't like overly floral smells (especially lily and gardenia--although I love to smell an actual gardenia flower).
I think I might start with some of the perfumes that people you've been linking to have reviewed. Minim_Calibre and Thatyourefuse keep talking about these skanky dirty smelling perfumes and it fascinates me. LOL I don't think I will like them AT ALL, but I want to smell them. *g*
