Ladies, what does "Lotion" mean on this Caron bottle?

Hi there, young guy here with a question. I was out shopping today and I found a bottle of Caron's Nuit Noel at an antique shop. It looks exactly like this:

Re: Mitsouko on men

I love the edp, it smells like some sort of spiced fried dough, a mossy peach fritter on me. Was very perplexed about it at first since it's not a particularly manly smell, especially for an 19 year...

If I like Mitsouko....

What else could you recommend? I've decided I really like Mitsouko after much bickering with it when I first got it. Enigmatic beast the edp is. Now I'm actually wanting to buy it (dear god it's...

Re: Les Parfumes de Rosine...

Well that's okay on the simpleness, I dont need anything that screams....Mitsouko might be my "loudest" thing currently...and even that tames itself to kind of spiced peach.

I was curious about...

Les Parfumes de Rosine...

I'm intrigued by this company, they seem so sincere in their pledge to create quality scents with nice ingredients, and nifty that they base it around the central scent of roses.

I found I dont...

Re: Mitsouko is WEIRD

I was just saying it's weird in that I hated it at first and now it's suddenly changing.




I found it kind of shrieking....straight girl powder, but I will have to reassess it like I...

Mitsouko is WEIRD

The more and more I put on it my wrist, just to "sniff" it, the more I am picking up on the peach, the less it is making me sick, and the more I'm actually LIKING it. I had to scrub it off a few of...

Re: Vol de Nuit

I tried I got some vintage edt from The Perfumed Court and while the opening was GREAT, herbal and cologne-like, but it quickly turned iris/vanilla/oakmoss powder on me. Turned into a nice Guerlain...

Re: Any other vendors have samples of Parfum des Merveilles?

That would be negatory for the bloomingdales. I'm going to do a review for the eau soon.

The pdm is a parfum version of the eau, deeper.

Elixir is a spin off frag that's gourmand I...

Re: Hermès reputation in the fragrance-world.

I am very very impressed by Hermes, they seem to do citrus very well and am almost compelled to say that their house note may be orange......at least from what I've seen. If you reflect a bit, Hermes...

Re: Newbie Musings Over Old Guerlains

Very unsure of the strength of L'Heure Bleue, whatever the Perfumed Court sells, which was surprisingly strong regardless. I can see how some of my observations can be perhaps a little immature, but...

Newbie Musings Over Old Guerlains

I am 19, so I have very little experience with fragrance aside from all my sampling. Growing up my dad wore Guerlain's Vetiver which I loved, and actually noticed when it was briefly off the market...

Online sources for Guerlain's Mouchoir de Monsieur?

Honestly, money wise and for my age I am rather certain I will not be buying this fragrance anytime soon, but I remember enjoying the smell of my sample immensely (such a WEIRD scent) so I was...

Rosemary heavy cologne?

I've been flung head first into the world of colognes and scents, and it's become rather addicting! I work at a nursery and we sell herbs, so I'm quite familiar with the scent of rosemary. I love it,...

Re: Vintage cologne for an 18 year old?

Just an update!

I was able to get samples from Penhaligons, and I must say I was impressed with Blenheim Bouquet and surprisingly Endymion. I'm curious what Hamman Bouquet smells like, they...

Re: On Getting Free Samples from Companies Now

Really? That must be something new, it hadn't been mentioned before. Is it not too terrible, as in still the most economical way to get samples from their line?

Re: On Getting Free Samples from Companies Now

Should I address that I'm 18, new to fragrances...

Re: Vintage cologne for an 18 year old?

Just for an update for you guys, I've gotten some decant samples and have smelled them for curiosity's sake. I guess I started REALLY old, so I'd get my historical curiosity out of the way.
