Re: Boston Meet-Up Wrap-Up

Thank you all for making a newcomer feel welcome. It was a sensually and emotionally satisfying day -- thanks particularly to SMM, Neil and David. I look forward to future gatherings. Fragrant...

Re: I got MPG Soir d'Orient!!

I don't suppose you would be willing to sell a small decant of what you have left?? I imagine you've had many such offers. I tried this for the first time about a year ago and fell madly in love. So...

Re: Looking for Bottle of MPG Soir d'Orient Maitre Parfumeur et gantier

I am looking for MPG Soir d'Orient, too -- a bottle or at least a decant. (Why do I fall in love with the unattainble ones?) Will buy or offer a swap, whichever you prefer. Please contact me at...

Re: The Official Michael Storer Test Sample Discussion Thread

To Mira 187,

I found the tea tree oil comparison interesting because I (and another reviewer) got the impression of something mentholated in the opening. (I wondered if it was eucalyptus; the...

Re: The Official Michael Storer Test Sample Discussion Thread

Just wanted to add that I finally sniffed Fracas today and there was something about it that reminded me of Winter Star but I could not place it. Did anyone else get that vibe?[/QUOTE]

Re: The Official Michael Storer Test Sample Discussion Thread

Interesting, Elf, that you detected mint in the opening; I guessed that it was eucalyptus, which has a similar vaporous coolness. No one else seems to have mentioned this. But I love civet and didn't...

Re: The Official Michael Storer Test Sample Discussion Thread

Michael, will you let us in on the notes of Winter Star (or this incarnation of it) once you've gotten enough feedback? I think we're all dying to know.

It's been fun to get a preview of your...

Re: The Official Michael Storer Test Sample Discussion Thread

I just received my sample of Storer's wintry fragrance yesterday. I understand from his note that this is unfinished and he has no plans to market it immediately but is interested at this point in...

Re: Fragrance Promiscuity

To djuna, et al.,

I think it's partly the "thrill of the new." We all get a bit bored now and then and long for some fresh stimulation. And the more complex the personality, perhaps the more...

Re: Interview with Ayala Sender

Reviews are somewhat sparce in the Basenotes directory (I know these are relatively new fragrances). More feedback, especially on women's or shared scents, would be welcome!

Re: SOS - Need Cure for Addiction

You might want to ask yourself what is at the root of this need to buy and discover. (And, believe me, I can relate.) Are you bored with your job? Lacking an outlet for self-expression? Although I...

Re: Let's talk Patou! Cocktail, Chaldee, Colony, e

I had a bottle of L'Heure Attendue years ago and remember it as a "fizzy" woody oriental -- perhaps it had aldehydes that didn't agree with me. (Jan Moran's "Fabulous Fragrances lists the notes of...

Re: Let's talk Patou! Cocktail, Chaldee, Colony, e

I've been trying to find descriptions of Qui Sais Je (a Luca Turin favorite) and Adieu Sagesse, with no luck. Has anyone tried these and/or found a description or list of fragrance notes anywhere?...

Re: My favorite Caron

Where can you find this? A Caron Boutique rep in New York told me it was discontinued. (Or was it Tabac Noir I was asking about? I don't remember.) Could you describe Narcisse Blanc? Thanks.

Re: Gendarme gets very naughty!

Thanks for the feedback on these. I always worry that themed products like this are too gimmicky to be taken seriously. Nice to know that they're not either cheap smelling or totally inaccessible....

Re: My favorite Caron

Interesting assessment, which I put down to the mystery of our individual perceptions and associations. I have a feeling the aldehydes are playing tricks on you, as they do with so many people. I...

Re: An Interview with Agatha Brown

Marlen,

Thanks so much for those descriptions. I'm always looking for something high-quality but out of the ordinary, so I may give one of these a try. I've just e-mailed Agatha asking if she...

Re: An Interview with Agatha Brown

Has anyone out there actually tried any of Agatha Brown's women's fragrances? I'd be curious to know what your impressions are. I tend to like chypres and classic orientals and to shy away from a lot...
