I've only recently got into wearing what I guess you would call fragrances. I'm not wearing typical colognes but I've found scents that I like from various artisan shave product producers and I've ended up using strong aftershave splashes as a more subtle cologne.
I've always been turned off by the fragrances I've caught a whiff of other dude's wearing out and about. I don't think i like the so called "complex" colognes with a whole bunch of different notes that project for days. I'm kind of getting an idea of common scents i like and don't like but it's still hard to tell what i''m actually smelling.
Is there any way, other than buying a whole bunch of expensive essential oils, of getting to test out individual scents such a vetiver, patchouli, geranium, juniper, bergamot, musk etc., so that when i see these listed in a scent profile I actually know what they are talking about what I actually like?
