I've no idea what to do with your picture. Your physical appearance has nothing to do with what fragrances will work for you. You'll have to test a bit and find what works with your skin.

Personally, I love classic perfumes on women. They have a history of decadence and rebellion. Most of them do not smell dated to me, but some would disagree with that. Modern perfumes have gems as well, but there is a trend towards overly sweet and bland "pink" perfumes in an effort to appeal to younger women. They suck. Anyway, suggestions:

The Classic Guerlains are a must smell for anyone with an interest in the history of fragrances:

>Jicky, L'Heure Bleue, Mitsouko and Shalimar.

I think Bleue is classy as fuck, and Shalimar is still sexy as fuck.

If you're into Chanel, the house has some classics that still kicks ass, although you sort of have to steer clear of the most popular ones and go for the Les Exlusif line at this point. Check out:

>Coromandel, Sycomore, Bois des Iles, Cuir de Russie

As far as modern perfumes marketed towards women go there's a lot of very similar fragrances and it can be a hassle to sort through. I think the original

>Lolita Lempicka

is pretty darn nice, even if it inadvertently started the current craze of sweet candylike perfumes for women. The licorice note and burnt vanilla in the base balance it while all imitators that followed just take it too far. The perfumer behind it (Annick Mernardo) has made a bunch of other great fragrances for both men and women. Since I don't know much about your taste I can really only recommend that you check out her work, and also that of perfumers Maurice Rocel and Jean Claude Ellena as these three are the cornerstones of modern designer perfumery in my opinion.

Tell me more about what notes you like and what you're looking for and I'll reply again.
