Subtle scents

Does anyone know of a perfume that smells good, but is very subtle and not overpowering? Is there a Bath and Body works scent that fits the bill

I think Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede is a light and pleasant scent.

I like Le Labo Santal 33. I can’t tolerate most perfumes, but I can that one. Other Le Labo scents are good, but IMO that one is the best.

Forgive me if this post garbled. First time posting using the new and “improved” CC… I highly recommend Malie Organics. The scents might not last as long as the more conventional perfumes but they smell heavenly!

I’m one of those people who can’t be around any scents…so really none are “subtle” to me.

I like Chanel No. 5 L’Eau. It’s a lighter version of the original. Many perfumes give me headaches but not this one. I also actually don’t use perfume, I use eau de toilette.

I have never met a Bath and Body works scent I like. I used to literally get headaches when my step-daughter would use their scents.
I like Purology Pure Grace. It is very mild and just smells “clean.”
I love the smell of a couple of the Jo Malone scents, and asked for one for Christmas last year. But they are pretty strong - a little goes a LONG way.

My H is sensitive to scents, so that’s why I’m asking. I don’t think he’s ever set foot in Bath and Body Works and Yankee Candle. He complains that you can smell those two stores from the other side of the mall! I’m not as sensitive to scents, but even I get a headache if I’m in Bath and Body Works too long. I don’t know how anyone works at Bath and Body Works or Yankee Candle, they must have good ventilation in those stores! So I learned that in Abercrombie and Fitch and Hollister they used to constantly spray perfume in those stores…I tought, that’s why I always had a headache when D wanted to go in those stores. You could smell them before you got there

I agree with Thumper1. The best scent is no scent.
