Please help me dramatically update my chosen perfumes. The problem is: my favourite scent is the smell of... soap.
I desperately need to update the perfumes I wear, and the holiday season and the promise of gifts seems like a good time.
I have been wearing the same two perfumes basically forever. They are Banana Republic W and (
oh God the unbearable shame) Anais Anias - although not often, and not much. Still, I think both of these are pretty outdated and probably I need a change anyway.
I would like to have a list of likely candidates before venturing into the mall to try them. I dread department stores primarily because the aggressive ladies at the cosmetics counters are so, well,
aggressive - and the shorter my smelling trip, the happier I will be.
Anyway, as mentioned, I really like clean scents. I like the smell of cut grass, Dove soap, laundry detergents, lemons and white wine. I do not like musk, vanilla, or flowers.
Possibly pertinent: I live in Ireland, so NYC boutique brands are pretty much out.
Any brand available at Boots in the UK, though, I can get from a retail store here. Also, I would prefer to keep costs down; I'm not really a perfume whore, I just fancy a change.
Suggestions gladly accepted!

But if you absolutely have to have something, most of Demeter's line is something that I can stomach. They even have Grass (Dirt and Cinnamon Bun are my favourites of the ones ms. nobeagle has). They ship whever UPS ships, and seem cheap in the world of perfumes. The only downside to them is that you need to reapply about every two hours.
