For example Body Shop, Bath and Body Works, VS... And I think that that for the price some of them are actually pretty safe choices, if only for work environments. The VS Midnight Mimosa I found to be an acceptable powdery floral, though I'm saving up for a Big Purchase so I did not buy.

Unfortunately, this happens much too often in my office environment, for instance. Too much noise, too loud smelling, too boring.

I don't mind linear as long as they're interesting and lasting (hence my fascination with Montales). As for CdG Sweet Series and Demeters, yes, very disappointingly fleeting.
