I went thru a perfume phase last summer, and discovered the Fragrantica website, which tells me the Notes (though it's never been clear to me whether those are what the perfumers did on purpose or just what the wearers said they smelled). It's been fascinating to read the comments and see how one person can say "I'm getting green notes under a powdery opener" and another one can say "just a face full of bergamot here."

(Fwiw, my old reliable is Fresh Life and my favorite new discovery is Jo Malone's English Pear and Freesia. But if your dislike of food notes includes citrus or pears, you might not enjoy those.)
