I grew up around jasmine and a lot of other tropical florals, which can be kind of a mixed blessing - it's easier to identify scents that you're familiar with in the natural form, but it can also make you incredibly picky about them!

Sniffing flowers and such directly isn't always an option, but if you can find a local retailer that sells perfume oils (Whole Foods often has a display in their beauty aisle), sniffing and sampling the testers may help you get a handle on what some of the more common elements smell like.
