Re: FragranceX.com fake or original perfumes?

Ordered and got everything, once two months after the order was placed, so I guess my only complain would be slow shipment.

Re: Are You a Hoarder?

Hoarding is bad in financial terms due to compulsive overspending, unless you put some efforts in turning it into a productive activity. That is what I am into. So, sooner or later, this hobby must...

First of all, what is "classic"? I guess you mean scents released at some time past. So, I think it must be related to the available ingredients at the time the scent was designed.

Re: Molinard recommendations

Zizanie's top notes are spicy and pungent, then settling into a nice, close - to - the - skin scent reminiscing of baby talcum powder. If you like Old Spice you can not go wrong with it.
