    I'm thinking about changing my everyday fragrance.  I usually wear Ralph Lauren Romance, which I love, but I kinda want to change it up.  According to the description on Sephora, Romance contains the scents of: Sungoddess Rose, Marigold, Ginger, Chamomile Oil, Yellow Freesia, White Violet, Lotus Flower, Day Lily, Patchouli, Oakmoss, Musk. 

    Does anyone have any suggestions for something I might like?  I'm looking for something a little similar, but a little different.  I don't like scents that are too "sweet"  or anything extremely strong.  I'm looking for something a little floral but with a bit of a citrusy tone. 

    If I like Ralph Lauren Romance...any ideas of what else I might like?

    Mark Pure has citrus and floral notes in it.  www.meetmark.com  It smells really really good and it's not overpowering and it lasts all day!

    Gucci II is amazing. It's floral without being sickly sweet. If I can remember Romance correctly, I think they are similar.

    The men's stuff smells amazing too!

    I like D&G The One for the winter and Vera Wang Truly Pink, which I switched to from Romance. 

    If you go to Sephora, they can give you some generous samples of any perfume you want.

    The body sprays at Bath and Body Works aren't overpowering and come in a variety of scents depending on what you like. Otherwise check out the perfume counter at the local Macy's, Dillards, etc. Scent is dependant on your body chemistry so what smells great on one person may not work for someone else.

    I used to wear RL Romance too.  Now I wear either Marc Jacobs Daisy or Vera Wang Sheer Veil.  Love both.

    I would go out and get yourself a gift sampler set. I got one at Victoria's Secret that has little vials of all their perfumes for $25. I think Sephora had similar sets. I really didn't think it was a waste of money considering I get to really try a perfume out before spending the money. :)

    Try Tom Ford (the private blends collection). I wear his Neroli Portofino, and it's my absolute favorite. It's very green, and not floral, but he has some gorgeous light florals.

    I actually want to try this perfume sampler set from Sephora. It's $50 and includes 12 sample size perfumes, so you can try them all and see which one you wear best. Then you can use the voucher it comes with to get a full-size bottle of the one you like best, out of the 12 samples.

    @Jessie516 have you tried Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson? I didn't think I would like it but LOVED it and am hopefully getting some for Christmas. It is light and fresh. It has peach blossom, goji leaf, jasmine, blush champagne, lotus blossom, plumeria, rose, creamy amber, musk, patchouli, bergamot, peony, blonde woods. Hope this helps!

    sephora.com actually has a "fragrance finder" portion on their website that will select other perfumes you'd like if you choose the perfume you currently use. i've inputed a few of my fragrances and they were pretty dead on with the other perfumes i'd like.

    My roommate in college wore Marc Jacobs Perfume and it smelled amazing. It doesn't have a citrus note, but it's really different.

    I used to LOVE Rain by Marc Jacobs but it's kinda hard to find. I'm a Burberry girl too and I really like the Body spray by VS. 

    Has anyone gotten a hold of the new Avon scent from Reese Witherspoon? I wonder what it smells like - but you can't just walk into a store & smell it ya know?

    I love L'Eau d'Issey by Issey Miyake.  Here's the fragrance description

    A beguiling bouquet of lotus, freesia, peonies, and white lilies, this signature scent is an exciting essence of beauty
