Today we’re helping Lizzie. Six months ago she gave birth to a son, and she wants to celebrate this new chapter in her life with a new perfume. She hasn’t worn perfume since she became pregnant, and she says her body chemistry may have changed because some of her old favorites don’t smell quite right. She wears perfume for her own pleasure and applies lightly. Her new perfume should be beautiful but also intellectually stimulating. It should also have some “space” to it — she doesn’t like to feel crowded by her fragrance — but she doesn’t want anything “fresh”. She can spend up to $200, but is also happy to buy decants so don’t worry about the price. Here is what we know about Lizzie:

She lives in Australia, and shares her time between country and city living.

She’s a single mom in her early 30s.

She studied art at school, and now she works in “student wellbeing” at a high school.

She says she is calm, positive, creative and a homebody; her style is “comfortable and simple but with bohemian and quirky handmade touches”.

Lizzie likes most floral notes…
