Have a look at fragantica for a breakdown of notes of stuff you might like

Get yourself down to Liberty's, spray some on some cards and take them home. They will often change dramatically over time.
This is usually insanely cheapnas standard

As a general rule eau de parfum will have a higher concentration than eau de toillete.
Hence last longer. Also cheap often means it doesn't last very long as a scent on you (generally speaking).
Encre noir is an amazing price for what it is.
I would safely recommend black pepper tho. There's also the comme de garcon store in central to try all their range. They have some amazing stuff at a fair price (probably find cheaper prices online tho)
The user reviews on fragantica are often quite helpful, it's an amazing website really.
Plus they have a forum lol
