Serge Lutens in Toronto?

Hello everybody.

I was wondering if there's anywhere in Toronto where one can buy Ambre Sultan or other of Lutens' more popular offerings?
Also, if you have any idea, how much would they cost on...

Re: Essential Oils in Toronto?

oh, thanks!
Maybe if I could read Hindi I could see for sure :p

I'll at least acknowledge that their lavender smelled very realistic.

Essential Oils in Toronto?

The other day I was browsing through Kensington market, and I found a store called 'Courage, my Love' that mostly sells vintage clothing. They have a small counter at the back where they sell...

Re: Would you buy a spacecraft fragrance?

[QUOTE=MadScientist;1334444]Maybe they have it backward. Maybe cows (steak) smell like space. I'm sure you've heard the stories of mutilated cows and supposed alien abductions of livestock.

LOL....

Re: Which scent gives you the best longevity per dollar?

John Varvatos. The top and heart notes fade within 3 hours, but the leather/vanilla base can last up to 24 hours (typically about 18, though), and has even managed to withstand two showers once.
And...

Re: NEW: John Varvatos For Women (for you chypre fans).

I've smelled a sample of it, and it strongly reminds me of the hodgepodge of scents you get as soon as you step into the perfume department of any big department store.

Re: Guerlain...OK, I finally GET it now!

All my favourites are made by the house.
I'm not one of those snobs who decries the ones made by anyone outside of the Guerlain family, though. In fact, I think that L'Instant is as good as...

Re: The most up-to-date Chanel?

Allure Homme Sport is very current.

So what's a chypre, anyway?

Chypres smell like Cyprus, but I've never been to Cyprus.

If a fougere can roughly be described as "lavender on top, jasmine in the middle, and oakmoss/coumarin at the bottom," how would you...

Re: Operation Mitsouko.

Mitsouko....

You may hate me for this, but I really wasn't all that impressed with it. I am prejudiced, perhaps, because I dislike the smell of peaches.
Anyway, I'd say it smells rather feminine.

Going by the ones absent at the Toronto Maison Guerlain,

Derby,
L'instant Magic,
and, apparently, Vol de Nuit.

I don't think they had Parure, either.
and the spin-offs, like Vetiver Frozen...

Re: This may be weird but..

Interesting question, indeed :P

Sorry. I wrote something and decided I wanted to delete it. I'm not actually sure how to do that, though, so instead I edited it. Apparently, you need at least three characters to have an entry....

Re: Muscs Koublai Khan

haha, I was actually hoping there would be a store in Toronto where I could sample the thing.
Something named after the grandson of Genghis Khan is probably not a good blind-buy.
Anyway, the groiny...

Re: A Question

LOL. Just buy what you want to buy.
At the end of the day, it's your money, your frag, and your decision.

Re: GIT and Cool Water

I agree with everso. It must be a letdown to pay between $150 and $200 for something that smells identical to a cheap '80s cologne.

Anyway, I have never smelled GIT, but I own a small sample phial...

thanks everyone!

There seem to be trouble with shipping perfume to Canada. I ordered something from escentual.co.uk (quite overpriced, by the way), and they had to send me back my cheque because...

Re: Perfume etiquette?

Your grandmother was probably right as far as 'bathing' in anything, but I agree with everso that scents are, obviously, made to be smelled.
Try not to wear overwhelming amounts of anything, and...
