Can anyone tell me more about this one? I read it was done by Bernard Chant (good sign) and that's it's based on Freesia (no idea what a freesia smells like). Turin mentions that freesia is mostly linalool, and thus the perfume smells of lavender.

Opinions? I'm on a lavender kick lately.\f

Please tell me its a nasty rumour, is it really true that this scent is being/ has been discontinued?
I am having palpitations at the mere thought!

Well maybe not SICK of but, I feel indifferent to the scents I wear regularly lately. They still smell nice, but make me feel "meh". Maybe it's the changing weather. I live in Toronto. Not the greatest city in the world, and definitely not the greatest weather in the world either. People here have a very deprived concept of what passes for "spring". Anyways, I don't want to go scentless, so please chime in and give me recommendations for a new scent!

I have and wear these a lot: Fleurissimo, Ecume de Roses, Dune, Philosykos, Feminite Du Bois, Ambre Precieux

I have and don't wear these regularly: Fracas, Nahema, Diorissimo, Jasmal, Songes, Tea for Two, Voleur de Roses, Etro Heliotrope, Angel, Vol de Nuit, Shalimar

I like but doesn't smell nice on me: Opium

I don't like: oakmoss and white musk in discernable amounts, watery (watermelon, cucumber, melon, etc)

Heeeelp!

The excitement and anticipation of buying a fragrance blind, does that ever appeal to you? I have a healthy collection, about 50 bottles. I haven't bought a full bottle in about 2 years. I've been conservative for various reasons, I don't need more than 50 bottles, I don't want to waste money, there's nothing new out there that really appeals to me, etc. I have instead opted for getting decants. however, after 2 years of getting decants alone, and don't get me wrong, this has met my fragrance needs very well, i'm bored. yes folks, nothing beats getting a full bottle. however practical or economical a decant might be, there's just something about a pretty new bottle isn't there? I'm really aching for a blind buy too. Why? b/c it feels a bit like a present. I've purposely bought many fragrances that i know I like and I do end up wearing them but not nearly as I anticipated. I usually find myself wearing the unexpected gifts more....dont know why that is. With places like fragrancenet.com selling frags at very good discounted prices, why not?

My interest in fragrance is just now being renewed after a 2 year hiatus so bare with me here ;-)

Hello all, and happy St.Patrick's Day!

I was going to wear something "green" today (No.19 parfum, to be specific), but it was a cold wet miserable morning and I wanted something spicier. Ended up in Jungle and have no regrets. It's now 6.30pm and I can still smell it, so I'm well pleased with the longevity of this one too. It is probably going to be one of my most-reached-for scents now that autumn is drawing in here.

Have a good one, everyone

I was just browsing and came across a few perfumes by Jean Marc Sinan. I have to admit i am not at all familiar with this perfumer and have never tried any perfumes by this perfumer. If you have some knowledge about this perfumer and his perfumes i would really appreciate that.

Hi
I found POL while googling a scent review....the why is a bit harder...I wanted to smell different to everyone else and I used to think I knew a bit about perfume..after being a member here I realised " I know nothing"...

So how did all of you "find" POL and why....

Hi
I thought this link might give you all a snapshot of what ordinary everyday mums are wearing if any of you are interested...I think its a lack of exposure to classics and niche etc that seem to control perfume tastes...

I took my little plastic bottle I got online and asked the SA to please spray some Estee Super Cologne spray into it. She really gave me a lot! From a distance, I like it OK, but up close --- WHAT did they add when they reformulated it? Estee Lauder is now ignoring my emails, I've written so much. No acknowledgement whatsoever. Oh, how I wish they would bring back the 2005 formula (I think that is a safe year, though I noticed the change when I went to replenish in 2008). I've spent 18 months looking for something to replace it and simply can't find anything I love. I am so picky; rather, my nose and head are.

Mrs. Estee Lauder has a list of important things to know about finding your signature scent at Macy's. The last one she listed was ~ if you can't give up your favorite lotion, put it in your hand, spray your favorite fragrance into it, then apply the lotion. Had never heard of this method. I would want to use unscented lotion for this. But I will definitely try that with Calandre to boost its longevity.
