Oh man, you hooked me from
and it just got better from there. I'll have to try this!
I'm still building up my collection, so so far the most interesting I've come up with is Super Amber / Heavy Cream. I've been ordering a bunch of sample vials of things that sound interesting, trying to pin down what notes I like best and which I don't. So hopefully soon I can come up with creative combos like yours!
Don't be afraid of just amassing a bunch of 'cheapies' to start with, there are so many fantastic fragrances made by renowned perfumers/houses, that you can buy for under £50 (€/$/etc) to train your nose on and figure out what you like.
That's actually how I have Vanilla Vibes and Quorum, I literally just blind bought a load of cheaper perfumes going by what looked interesting on Fragrantica or was recommended on youtube, and I would likely never have bought or learnt to pick out and enjoy their notes had I gotten tiny testers first.
Also many cheap Arabic perfumes (originals and dupes) are surprisingly good, don't be too afraid of exploring that side of this world either! Al Rehab is a great place to start if you're unsure/skint, Choco Musk is quite possibly the best milk chocolate perfume in the world and you can get a 50ml bottle for like £6. The rest of their scents are similarly priced and pretty damn good too from what I've tried do far.
Ha if I keep buying perfumes I really will be skint! I'll have to check out the Arabic fragrances, make my money stretch a bit further!
