Perfume recommended for beginner

Hey guys, I’m new to perfumes and trying to figure out my taste.

I usually like:

\- 🌹 Rose / floral / fresh blossom

\- 🌊 Fresh aquatic / blue / soapy scents

\- 🧴 Soft creamy vanilla, not very sweet

\- 🪒 Barber-shop / aftershave freshness

\- ❄️ Clean, cool, slightly powdery scents

I don’t like very sweet, fruity, bubblegum or chocolate-like scents.

Liked: Bella Vita White Oud, Fresh Aqua, Beardo Mariner (but too synthetic), Ajmal Wisal Dhabab, Ajmal Silver Shade (lemony + rosy).✅

Giardano sunset stroll loved it.

Didn’t like: CEO Man, Skai Aquatic, Wild Stone Edge, most Zudio perfumes.❌

I’m looking to start cheap — maybe 5 perfumes/samples under ₹500-1k— and then move to ₹1k–₹2k or eventually ₹4k–₹5k once I understand my taste.

I’ve seen EM5, Menswork, Fusion by Rizwan etc. but have no idea what to try.

Can you suggest some perfumes from cheapest → expensive based on my preferences? Sample sets are also welcome.
