I just got back from a work-related journey and when I'm at airports I often take the time to check out newly-released scents and other essentials. (I bought a bottle of Bunnahabhain whisky — Islay Single Malt — for T. which he hadn't tasted before, so he was happy.) I tend to like light, green, not particularily sweet, perfumes and they also work well for me since I sometimes get an allergic reaction to heavier scents. I bought Bvlgari's older Au Thé Blanc when I was in New York a few years ago (I miss it!) and now I thought I'd try their new Omnia Green Jade. It actually had a similar note, which I liked a lot, and even though I didn't buy it now I realised that I will eventually.

The Green Jade scent lingers a bit longer and for me it would probably be perfect both as a party perfume and for everyday use. Tommy Hilfiger's Dreaming and Dreaming Pearl I use on an everyday basis. They are extremely light, giving only a subtle hint of perfume which lasts a working day at the most, and I often find that quite enough. A long-time favourite of mine is otherwise Carolina Herrera's amazing 212. This light scent lingers longer as well and seems to work perfectly with my own basic body scent. I never seem to get tired of it.
