It’s typical — and understandable — to start with flowers when choosing perfume, but according to Tania Sanchez, co-author of Perfumes: the A–Z Guide, “it’s a mistake to assume that the reason to wear perfume is to impersonate a flower bed. This is a very fine strategy if your aim is to attract bees; otherwise, you could do better.” As someone whose nose wrinkles when in the vicinity of decidedly floral scents, I couldn’t agree more. Here, some of my favorite finds  — some fresh and citrus-y, others woody and spicy, all with zero to low floral notes.
