...I've tested 6 out of 8 and I have to stop and say "Relique d'Amour (2012)" gets a 90-95. It's longevity alone lasted at least 24 and that included a shower.To love each stage in a perfume is rare for me. The opening is green (grassy), herbal (green herbs), and a white lily that stays throughout. The top and the middle blend together linearly. I never did smell the incense in the heart notes. It will be one of my next purchases, and I don't have to order from France because it's at Luckyscent.I still have two more to test, but "Oeillet Louis XV" is my next favorite scoring 80 because it just isn't strong enough, but definitely bottle worthy.=========================Out of eight samples there are four I love and will buy... "Relique d'Amour (2012)" chypre "Deja Le Printemps (2012)" green floral "Reve d'Ossian" oriental woody "Oeillet Louis XV" floral woody musk

...Omni:My only purchase this month (my halo is glowing) was L'esprit Habanita. I won a sample pack of Impromptu by Roxana Illuminated Perfumes and have been giving that a whirlWow! Omni, how did you win?

...This discussion has persuaded me to order the sample pack, I hope to love at least one, so I have a beautiful bottle. :D

...Franfan20:I don't know why, but somehow i like those birds.Because they are beautiful.

...I would like to bring up the fact that only a few months (3-6) have gone by and I'm testing a perfume again to see if I really want it, and this time I have totally different (opposite) review notes on it and not just this perfume because it happens with others.Is this also common?

...Now that is weird.

...I don't get it. :shock:

...Cryptic:Maybe even more fun if we throw in some pictures/gifs?Sweetgrass:"Samsara" = "Alien" = P.S.: No offense intended!LOVE IT!!!

...ROBERTOB:Beautiful! Do you know what flower it is?

...If you like rose (I don't) get ready for "Carissa".

...MiaVonTrost:Neo-hippie movement?Good one!Sounds just like my ignorant neice.

...There is a very good review (by mwallwork) about "Cafe Diem" at Fragrantica (since there are none here yet)... http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/PK-Perfumes/Cafe-Diem-16535.html

...The petition lost?By the way I'm on the third of Pk's samples and they are reminding me of a combo of the Tauer, Serge and ELDO's lines. The "Ginger Zest de Citron" is amazing! Add Juliette Has a Gun to the houses PK reminds me of.

...Triffid's fav - "5th Avenue" least fav - "24, Faubourg"

...Yea, I hate that too.

...Thank you Sweet!I was looking more for the notes or a review.

...Ok

...Just got my PK Perfume samples, and just ordered them two days ago.They are packaged in the nicest box and velvet-like pouch. Will add pic later.Ten samps for 25$, and the friendliest note from Paul.http://pkperfumes.com/I'm anxious to try his "Ere" 2012.

...I occasionally am given a sample from a retailer that I can find no information anywhere on.What is the best way to ask about it here? Should we have an area to ask others about this Mia perfume?If so, I'll start with Paul Sebastian's PS Tribecca for Women, 1989. This is all I can find on it. I must say it's a very nice floral oriental.

...From the looks of it, due to this wonderful site and database, I seem to prefer the oriental woodies, and the chypres.
