In Need of Perfume Advice!

Hi beauties! So this kind of post isn't really typical for me because instead of posting something to help you guys out, I need some help on a topic I'm not so good with!

Perfumes!
Here's my deal: I want to find a signature perfume for myself this season. However, I need a brand that is cruelty free (being vegetarian I have devoted myself to a lifestyle full of cruelty-free beauty-without-bunnies products) and not LUSH because I've tried perfumes from there and they don't stay on me. Any of them. Ever. -loud sigh-

Do any of you beauties have a perfume you can't live without?? I tend to lean towards more spicy scents rather than florals...maybe even something kind of aquatic.
Any help is appreciated!

I will be posting another ingredient spotlight as scheduled. :)
