Re: A scent for my sis:)

A lot depends on what houses are available to you. I don't know much about Norway...

It sounds like she likes light florientals, mostly.

Kenzo Flower is a solid choice. I have been wearing it...

Re: Too many deals "too good to pass on"?

I bring my husband to the store with me. He loves my many fragrances, but is much more objective about my own desires than I am. If he's not available, I bring a friend who is either very...

Re: New Guerlains this spring

Re: Searching for a blackberry alternative

The Ava Luxe is really nice. Try it. I do think it is the best blackberry out there.
And I agree with the Mure et Musc Extreme, but I would get the extrait de parfum if money were no object. ...

Re: The Other Side (a SA's point of view)

Great approach, Kewal.

I used to be a cosmetics SA. And I also helped out behind the fragrance counter when there was someone new or it was a holiday season.

MAYBE MANY BASENOTERS DON'T KNOW...

Re: At what point does this become annoying to a SA?

How ingenious, Wordbird! I never thought to do this. Although I do prefer Sephora for designer fragrance shopping because of the open testers and the availability of plastic sample vials that the...

Re: Really classy fragrance for a 40 something conservative woman?

I agree with many that you're going for something light. Like O de Lancome, Bvlgari Pour Femme, Bvlgari Voile du Jasmin, etc.

I really think you should check out the Bvlgaris. Modern classics, I...

I got an Advanced Night Repair by EL. It was either that or some moisturizer or the CK body wash (I'm allergic to it).

Re: Mandarine basilic has won me over.

I actually had a fun experience with MB and Pamplelune. My friend and I both own Pamplelune. On her it turns somewhat acrid; on me you smell mostly patchouly. But we both tested MB. And after a...

Re: Synesthesia and Color Associations with Scent

I know we've discussed this before... about two years ago, as I recall. But I can't seem to find the thread.

Re: SotD Saturday 17 January

Re: Your views on perfumes containing Civet, and other animalic ingredients..

If the "better" houses primarily still employ animal-based civet, then I suppose my wardrobe is not cruelty-free, nor are most bn-ers' wardrobes. I will have to think more on the subject, and do...

Re: Tea - Does it ever smell like tea?
