...Hi Omni. Thanks, but no it's not Chamade. I have Chamade also on a paper strip and I can easily identify it. It's a very different smell. But what I'm looking for is a dry down with a mix of: a cherry-like note + smoothness + vanilla (and those 3 notes are blended together, it seems) That's why I'm still wondering if it could be:- "L'Heure Bleue" EDP ??- "Vol de Nuit" ??- "L'Instant Magic" ??- "Après L'Ondée" ??
What are you listening to right now ?

Mystery Guerlain: please help identify
by Sleuth | Perfume Discussions
...Thanks for helping :) But it wasn't insolence, the sales person didn't touch it. Are you familiar with L'Instant Magic? Could that be it? I'm also thinking it could be L'Heure Bleue EDP. (Though not the EDT, I tested that again and it's not smooth&sweet enough)

Mystery Guerlain: please help identify
by Sleuth | Perfume Discussions
...Hi all. Earlier this evening I had a very pleasant chat with the Guerlain sales person at the department store. Many fragrances (mostly classics) were sprayed on paper and we discussed them. Great.But for 1 important paper strip I forgot which one was sprayed! This problem may be familiar to you :oops: On this strip there was a female classic perfume sprayed that was a very pleasant surprise to me but now I r e a l l y want to know which perfume it is. It smells like:opening: purple-ish/blue-ish florals that are somewhat fresh in the beginningheart: ??? I didn't pay attentionbase: a cherry smell + smoothed + a bit vanillic.Clues:- it may be "L'Heure Bleue"- it may be "Vol de Nuit"- it may be "Après L'Ondée" (probably not)- it's not an exclusive, but it is an oldieCan you help me identify this perfume?- - - - - -Update 27 October :The mystery scent was indeed: "L'Heure Bleue" by Guerlain (EDP)But it seems on my skin it smells more like a flowers + amber mix and it didn't impress me as much as the paper strip.Thanks for all you help!- - - - - -

...Yes I know them, "Potion" is my favourite.'Wild' seems to have a lot of resins and also .. A humus accord !? Humus, as in soil, not hummus I assume.

Dsquared² fragrances
by Sleuth | Perfumes & Brands
...Let's discuss Dsquared² in this thread.Today I had the chance to smell "Wild" by Dsquared² (2014), but I skipped it. Now I see on another fragrance site that 90% of the people hate it, and also that Annick Menardo is one of the perfumers -- I'm getting curious! Did you smell it?

...Here in the Netherlands I'm guessing the most popular are:For women:1.

"Acqua di Giò pour Homme"Also doing good are apparently:"Boss Bottled"The Dior Homme range."Le Mâle""1 Million" probably still has fansThough some young guys seem to be wearing some tonka scent.. Might be Eros

Let's talk musk - any suggestions?
by Sleuth | Perfume Recommendations
...Let's talk about musk.What do you like and hate about musk? Which ones do you like? love? detest? What does a cute little stinky musk deer have in common with Sarah Jessica Parker? Then you've come to the right place.Let's discuss it here!...As for my personal opinion. I'm looking around for a nice musk under € 45,- , preferably 90% clean, 10% dirty. Any suggestions?While I like and respect "Musc Ravageur" and "Kouros", I have to admit that I cannot wear them. Almost never. The maximum of funk I can wear is the one from "For Him Musc Collection". I also like clean musks like "Lovely" and the bodyshop's White Musk (Men). I think "Musk by Alyssa Ashley" has a nice balance of clean & dirty, but it smells a bit dated to me.So: Please share your musky opinions and feel free to recommend something to me :)

Do you have a dog-walking perfume?
by Sleuth | Perfumes & Brands
...No. For the early hours I like citrus and aquatics.But I do wear odd fragrances to the supermarket. If I have a fragrance that I'm not confident about to wear to the usual occasions then sometimes I try it out while getting my groceries.

Comme des Garçons topic, also re. Pharrell
by Sleuth | Perfumes & Brands
...heheh, well the wood-like accord is the weird accord, it's not sandalwood. I like the start and the heart, but because of the dry down I wouldn't buy it. Still, I really like it that a celebrity sells a fragrance like this.
