[I'll be updating/annotating this post periodically. Last edited 1/24/09.]
What I've learned so far: I like florals, especially roses; light citrus; a hint of incense or salt. The partner likes lavender. Water-related notes seem to work really well with my body chemistry.
Also: I seem to do well with monsters (Cthulhu, Caliban...) and signs of the zodiac
Current favorites: Amsterdam, Asphodel, and Men Ringing Bell With Penises
What I avoid: sugary or foody scents; fruit other than citrus; patchouli. Have not had good luck with any of the Moons.
A useful chart. The collector's tastes and mine don't overlap at all, but I've found her descriptions helpful.
ScentScribbles catalogs the (probable) notes in each fragrance.
