Re: The Stealth Release (I'm looking at you Montale!)

At the rate Montale's cranking up new scents, it would be difficult, not to mention costly, for them to launch a publicity campaign with every new production.

Re: Most natural smelling fragrance?

Another one for AdP Colonia.
Gris Clair smells just like freshly stone-ground lavender.

Re: Decant swaps to resume

If you don't have the patience to wait, you can also just pay 5 bucks and become a supporting member for a month.

Re: Has Luca Turin's Fragrance Writing Style Influenced Your Thinking?

Too many critics (perfume, wine, film, book etc.) take their writing too seriously, and I start up nodding off to sleep before I get to their final verdict. Turin's one of those upbeat writers...

Another recommendation for Daim Blonde (apricot + leather)

Re: Is Agarwood (Oud) and (Frank)incense a good combination?

Oud and incense go hand in hand in many, many fragrances. You'll find enough examples from Montale and Amouage.

Re: Medicinal Scent...

The opening of Egoiste is somewhat medicinal, although after that it's something else altogether.

Re: Accidently layering a good combo

Egoiste + AdP Colonia

Softens the rough edges that Egoiste has, but at the same time emphasizes what I consider the highlights of both fragrances - roses! Yes, that initial punch that Egoiste...

Re: L'Air du Desert Marocain

The first time I sniffed L'Air, I was hooked. And I still am to this day, although I don't put it on every day for the fear that I might grow tired of it! It's an experience to be savored every time,...

Re: Best fragrances for cuddling/snuggling with a loved one

L'Eau d'Hiver - after all, it was conceived as an eau chaude, or warm water. This might just fit the bill.
Or Dans Tes Bras. Literally, in your arms.

Re: Summer Niche Men Recommendation?

Most scents from Diptyque will in fact do just fine, but besides those that have been mentioned already from this house, let's not forget Oyedo!

Re: Which is the fragrance house that suits to your taste/preference

For me, it's a close contest between L'Artisan & Serge - the two houses have quite different character, so between the two they cover a lot of territory.

Re: Kiwi Recommendations?

I'm surprised no-one has thought up this one yet - Aqua Allegoria Tutti Kiwi! It even has a picture of a sliced kiwi on the box. I haven't smelled it myself, but reviews seem split, though.

Re: Tuberose for man

I second Carnal Flower - don't be put off by the opinion of some saying it's too feminine. At least give it a try.

The "Yes We Can" Perfume!

I don't really visit perfume stores in Korea any more, since they don't stock anything I haven't sniffed before or worth sniffing. But it just happened a few days ago that I was taking a stroll in...

Re: New Serge Lutens export line addition(s) in '09?

I believe FT was released as a limited edition to the export line in 2005 (give or take a year, I can't remember exactly).

Re: "When the bottle is empty, I am not replacing it!"

Being impatient, I tend to sell bottles that I don't care for before I get to the bottom of them.

Having said that, though, I will finish those but not restock:

Re: Masculin scents that come off as being feminin

In response to your PM to me of similar concerns, Jeremy:
