Eat Me, IIRC, has a vanilla note that might turn plastic with your skin chemistry.

Nooooo!! 😭 The sweetness of Eat Me and Snake Oil are what I like about them!

Mouse's Long and Sad Tale is easy to like, too!

I've heard of that! My worry is that the sweet pea, even if it smells wonderful, will bore me quickly. I like food-y scents because I will always willingly accept food. I may not always willingly accept flowers. I loved Deconstructing Eden's Juliet, but soon grew bored of smelling like sweet pea. I'll still give it a try tho!

Do you like fruity scents or baked goods? If so, I might have some suggestions.

Yes, please!! 

Hello!

I am new to the indie perfume world, and - frankly - it's been something of a rough start. I have around 25 imps and perfumes, but so far, I've only liked 2 (Snake Oil and Eat Me), and even those two are a little off at times. Sometimes I like how they smell, sometimes they turn a little "hotel casino" on me. Other non-BPAL scents that I thought I'd like but ended up not liking all that much are Solstice Scent's Black Forest and Rose Mallow Cream (although between the two of them, I like RMC better. BF is WAY too strong). I thought I'd like white florals and roses, because I like them as scents in general, but discovered that while I think they smell nice on me, I usually get sick of them within a few hours. I'd probably wear them when I'm feeling pretty or elegant, not when I want to feel everyday-nice. Turns out, rose smells too old on me. 

I seem to be leaning more towards gourmand scents, so I'm wondering if any of you have any tasty-smelling recommendations for me. I'm in my early 20's, so I don't really want anything too sweet (marshmallow, cotton candy), but I also don't want anything too dark - unless, of course, you strongly believe a scent is an exception. I'm open to trying stuff!
