AKA I'm anxious and depressed, and would like to self-soothe with a fragrance that will trick me into feeling like a calm, cool, and collected non-disaster with a zest for life.
Hi, all! I really enjoy Deconstructing Eden's Quan Yin (Formulated for a dear friend, Quan Yin is rice flower, willow branches, dove feathers and healing waters. The very essence of mercy and compassion.) and Laurel and June's Luna (Crystal white amber, night blooming jasmine and lotus flowers; heather, fig blossoms, cool night rain).
I love how these feel very soothing and clean without being soapy, too reminiscent of laundry, or powdery. Also, I like how the florals play a major supporting role without fully taking over; possibly it is my inexperienced nose, but I feel like they blend pretty seamlessly with the water rather than being discrete and identifiable.
I would really appreciate any help finding similar scents, especially if they perhaps include:
* an element such as citrus or pear that adds a touch of a bright, crisp, fresh vibe rather than being full-on fruity, tart, or jammy;
* a dry element such as sand, sawdust, parchment, or a dry woody element;
* some greens while still being a very clear/blue scent overall (I like scents that include ferns, tomato leaf, sweet basil, mosses); AND/OR
* a trace of a spice, e.g., a smidge of carnation, pink peppercorn, salt, or white pepper
For what I have in mind I would prefer to avoid: gourmand notes, creamy elements (such as some vanillas and woods like sandalwood), thick/syrupy/sticky-smelling elements (e.g., strong honey or golden ambers), very heady or jammy florals, laundry, pine/conifers, eucalyptus, camphor, peppermint, cantaloupe, honeydew, mango, banana, coffee, motor oil/gasoline, cannabis, metallic notes, strongly powdery notes such as orris, strong leather
