Re: L'Artisan for a lady

Verte Violette is worth seeking out. It matches what you've asked for very well. Drole de Rose is very floral in a more old school way. Passage is also a great choice. The Pour Un Ete would be...

Re: Stephanie de Saint-Aignan line at Luckyscent now

It never stops. But I've decided to just wait these things out these days, let others try them and read their thoughts. LuckyScent could type up a description of excrement that would make me want to...

Re: Fragrances that evokes a sense of melancholy

Black March. Smells like an open grave on a cold, cloudy day. Nothing much sadder than that.

Usually anything with both strong rose and strong frankincense will be a bit melancholy to me.

Re: Iquitos cologne?

If it's sealed, and the seller has a good reputation, then it's probably fine. If it's open, and it's a splash bottle, then I would worry more. See if they have a return policy listed. Many do. I...

Re: Amouage Jubilation XXV at LuckyScent ....

Or maybe it's the exchange rate (again).

Re: The Best of Andy Tauer

Maroc is the one most often overlooked. Forget about the gender label and just spray it on. You'll note the resemblance to LDDM, but to my nose Maroc is a little more interesting. I don't see...

Re: BdP and Obsession

I don't find them to be "identical" at any stage, but since they are both "woody oriental" fragrances, and both have amber and woods in the base, they do have some similarities. PdN's New York is...

Re: Safari Help !!!

Mossy, woody, aromatic, with a fruity note that freshens things up a bit. The older stuff seems to smell mossier and less plastic-y (for lack of a better term). I can't think of anything that...

Re: Wearing too much perfume a sign of depression?

I think it's an interesting finding. Maybe losing your interest in the things that usually bring you joy is an effect of losing your ability to fully perceive those things, at least to the level you...

Re: Which Creed fragrance do you like best?

To take a non-newbie stab at answering this...

1) I think Creed is not sold with the major designer fragrances, and so is niche, but is also easy enough to find that it is accessible. It's also...

Re: Which samples from L'Artisan should I ask for?

I know it sounds crass, but they have so many worth sampling that you should really just read the descriptions and the reviews here and on the various blogs, and then pick the ones that sound best to...

Re: If Santos, trully a bold fougére - or - basenoters rules

From my brief time with it, I would tend to think of it as a rich, dry woods fragrance, in the same vein as Eau des Isles. But then I tend to like the Edwards' categorization scheme (for the most...

Re: amouage...which is the best

I'll be interested to hear how they compare to you. If you don't reply here or start a thread, feel free to PM me.

Re: New MPG fragrance, Bois de Turquie

A fun exercise is to head over to MUA and read what the (predominantly) ladies there have to say about fragrances. It's sometimes telling to read their opinions vis-a-vis the opinions here. Often...

Re: amouage...which is the best

Many good comments in this whole thread. No need to repeat them all. IMO, Reflection would be the "safest" bet, followed closely by Dia (though I've still not smelled XXV). That is, if you want...

Re: Coriolan and the confused opinions

Thanks for the links Rockford.

$205 for a bottle of the new version! :eek:

Here's what I found most interesting (from Scented Salamander):

Re: Scents with Ambergis!

As a related aside, when I was visiting Les Senteurs in London, I asked the folks working there which fragrance had the most realistic ambergris note. The men turned to a woman working there, as she...

Re: Parfumerie Generale Querelle

Thanks to all for the comments.

Foetidus - funny you mention "annoying." That's the one thing about it that I consider "difficult"...the mood it puts me in. Somehow it makes me feel unsettled,...

Parfumerie Generale Querelle

I've noticed a fair amount of talk about this fragrance on the forum, but have seen only one very short thread devoted to it. Thought I'd start a thread to discuss. Personally, I think this is the...

Re: Whatever happened to Lorenzo Villoresi???

I was just at the Villoresi website and it seems that the only US retailer listed is Lafco. I wonder if Lafco received some sort of exclusive rights to the Villoresi line and the other retailers are...

Re: The ULTIMATE Basenotes PATCHOULI thread

Wow, this one's been buried for a while.

My favorites tend to be the fragrances where the patch is a strong component but not the only component:
- SL Borneo 1834: nice, dry patchouli with a...

Re: Yatagan or similar?

+1 to all that. The only things that come to mind as being in the ballpark of Yatagan (though they are not at all substitutes for it) are Romeo Gigli's Sud Est and Ricci's Phileas. Maybe also...

Anyone have experience with Villoresi room essence oils?

Any comments? Which scents do you like best? Are they worth the price? How long does a bottle last?

Thanks in advance for any input!
