dear tam

you were our reader for a minute, but it looks like we lost you due to our general laziness concerning questions... and answering them.

I'm not a fan of super food-y perfumes. I like almond tea and almond bath oil from l'occitane, but otherwise... avoid.

at any rate I did some research and came up with some perfumes with almond notes I think you could try.

1.starting with the most abstract, Frederic Malle L'Eau d'Hiver I realize that it doesn't say "almond" in the notes, but I think you could stretch it for this, it has that quality of warmth.

the rest of these I just got from the fragrantica website, they have a thing that will search by notes, then give you a little description. I randomly picked ones I thought would be good. you can go to the perfumed court and get little samples of most of these for a small fee. and obviously some of the more common ones you can get free samples at nordstrom.
