Re: Chanel N°5 Eau Première

Eau Premier smells a lot like the normal Chanel No 5 body cream, which is very rich and has quite a lot of fragrance in it. It dries down very soft, and layers great with eau Premier anyway. And...

Re: Fragrance of Space?

I would suggest Bulgari Black, but not because of the rubbery part (which I don't get actually). It think Black has a kind of static nature like it is stuck in one place, and yet, soft and...

Re: Chanel Coco & civet?

Hi! Everyone has such interesting comments on Coco. I've worn Coco for almost 20 years now and it is one of my HGs... that being said. I've never detected any significant civet or skank in the...

Re: Is "1st Perfume" online vendor reputable?

Re: Is "1st Perfume" online vendor reputable?

Thank you for the tip, scentemental. I don't visit the basenotes community forum that often, so I suppose I didn't think to search for a similar question from an earlier time. I will go back and...

Re: "Old Lady" Perfume (not what you might think.)

Hi Wordbird: Here are my suggestions of things that may appeal to a young person, but still have a bit of complexity to get the nose trained right!

Re: Is "1st Perfume" online vendor reputable?

Re: Jardin de Bagatelle.

I think, the right man in the right situation could wear this, though for me it is a very confident, womanly floral. It smacks of a great, perfect, sunny day. The dry down is very lovely though and...
