We're scent twins
I've been loving the new
Burberry Brit Sheer (in the pink tartan bottle). Not sure if it's widely available yet, but I live in Japan and it launched here first in August
and I wore it pretty much nonstop for a couple months until my other 'fumes started to feel unloved. It's a fresh floral with just a hint of yuuzu (Japanese citrus) to prevent it from being too sharp. (I hate sweet, sugary scents too
)
Let's see, I also like
Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche. It's opening is very light and similar to D&G Light Blue, but the drydown is a little bit spicy, like the original Chance.
Also like
Burberry Summer if you can find it (It's still available at some online discounters.) and
Hermes' Un Jardin Sur le Nil which are both fresh, slightly citrussy florals, and from the Canadian retailer
Fruits and Passion, I just got a bottle of their
Jasmin EDT and it's lovely - a light, lively floral, that's not too green or overwhelming like jasmine can sometimes be.
All the above have pretty decent lasting power. At least much better than the Crystalline which was developed specifically for the Asian market which doesn't like strong scents.
HTH!
