But these are so restrictive!!! *brain explodes at multitude fragrances that are more than one or all of these* Calm down, this is just make believe...lol...Of course, most fragrances have mixed notes, but the overall scent is pretty much in these categories to me. Like Pink Sugar has alot of notes in it, but it is sugary, Ombre Rose same with this, but it's overall powdery, etc...

However, if you put a "very" before each scent category, I would be forced to answer: NONE! I agree with you 100%, I like woody, vanilla, & ambery, but I wanted to limit it to the one's I don't like too much, and the one's that really seem to be popular these days, just was curious. Anything "very" would be too much of a good thing & definitely too much of a bad thing.

You know, it's funny you say this - I wore Lancome's Magie Noire for years and thought of it as woodsy, spicy. I've never liked powdery either, but found that when I wore Magie Noire people would make positive comments about it and several of them described it as smelling powdery! Maybe it's just my body chemistry. Who knows?
Your above quote describes exactly how I like my floral and fruits, must have a little woods or spice. In fact, some sweet fragrances that I turn down could be improved with the addition of a little spice.
