I would like to start wearing perfume, but I am not sure which one to select. I have always worn light bodysprays, I don't like anything too strong or flowery.

Much as I want to recommend one, i mostly want to say.. there are so many glorious perfumes out there.. and even those ones that aren't great at first, or on someone else, can be amazing on your chemistry , after a while.
I also know, people have all kinds of different tastes in perfumes.
I recommend going to a department store, and smelling a bunch, trying them on and letting them develop ( bring a little bit of ground coffee beans with you to enliven your sense of smell after a while)
The only way to know is to test..... Then you can better define those notes you appreciate and find one unique to you.
Have fun! Make it a quest.

I really like Ralph Lauren Blue.

It's really clean and light. I always get compliments when I wear it. However, I think it's more of a spring/summer scent... I don't care... I wear it all of the time.

i enjoy essential oil blends.
you can choose blends based upon your feeling
there are blends for stress,romance, energy ect.
i have a calming blend and a stress relief blend from bath and body works.
on a busy day its nice to stop , smell and relax.
the calming was (its discontinued) a blend of cederwood, sandlewood and patcholi.
stress relief blend is pure orange,mandarin,and lemon.
you could get oils and experiment with your own individual style, and end up with a completely unique personal scent

I have an oil mix that has cinnamon and a little patcholi. It's for romance.

I usually don't care much for patcholi... but this mix smells wonderful.

I like Issey Mikyake:

On me it doesn't smell super flowery, but everybody is different. This designer's cologne is available in most department stores.
