...Cryptic: I agree that Guerlain is changing in a scary way, Sherapop. :(Because of the "deterioration issue" or because of the many mediocre scents they've been launching for quite a while? I'd be interested in hearing your opinions.

...Pipette:From Frankfurt to Paris in three.five minutes ?!? No TGV can zip that fast ... he he heI wrote 3 hs and fifty (50) min - and that's the time it really takes. No kidding! Have done it so often, no doubt about it. :D

...Charles de Gaulle... j'ai compris... but I normally go to Paris by train, cheaper and eventually faster than by plane (from Frankfurt Main Station to Paris Gare du Nord in 3.50 min). I suppose that Guerlain knows that loads of well-to-do clients changing planes at the airport will pop in and purchase some of their "Les Exclusifs". :lol:

...That's bad news... I'm sorry for you! My bottle of "Iris Ganache" started to deteriorate after three years. Is that a lack of quality or simply due to the bulb-atomiser? On the other hand, I didn't leave the "bulb" on all the time... so... well, I guess I don't know. Not a very helpful answer, but ... you're not alone.

...Scentimental:Yes still as fresh as the day it was bought!Gosh, I envy you! :D

...Gold:This was one of the very first flacons in my collection (which dates back to my childhood days), your bottle should be from around 1978! Is the juice...

...This was one of the very first flacons in my collection (which dates back to my childhood days), your bottle should be from around 1978! Is the juice still intact? GORGEOUS!!!

...interesting. You just saved me from trying to find pure oud: even the cheapest pure oud is about as expensive (or more?) as gold is.. thanks, but no thanks, especially when most say it smells like fecal matter (but that's what they say abotu indolic jasmine which I adore...

...have come across a few and mostly was disappointed.Clive Christian's "X woman" smelled like cheap hairspray to me. Gruesome.Amouage's "Gold woman" did not appeal to me either.I bought the XerJoff OudStar discovery set but found that none of them is any good for me. Now I sell them all...

...being wed at an age of 10-12 to full grown men. This is where Amouage comes from. This is the state with which Guy Robert signed his contract for "Gold". And yet little to none is said about the moral dilemma behind wearing Amouage. I wonder why and how Oman is better, cleaner and more moral than...

...usually like still life paintings, but I like abstract as well. I prefer red and yellow or red and gold. they go with the colors of my home better in my opinion. I'd love to have that painting that Cryptic posted...

...this past weekend. I bought:Diptyque Eau de LierreThierry Mugler Alien Fragrance of LeatherAquolina Pink SugarAquolina Gold SugarThe Aquolinas came as a set. I tried and loved Gold Sugar and thought the set was a great price. I got the 1.7 Pink and 1.7... Sugar and thought the set was a great price. I got the 1.7 Pink and 1.7 Gold plus bath gel and lotion for something like $56. Couldnt pass that up...

...Gold, I think you might enjoy Puredistance Opardu. It is an excellent lilac fragrance that features heliotrope and violet prominently...

...still see Red on Ebay very reasonably priced.....but Gold, which I love the most is getting ridiculously overpriced :evil...

...talking about decanters, but ordering directly from the perfumer. For me best experiences so far are with Parfum d'Empire and Neil Morris who earn gold stars for reasonable prices, prompt Internationl delivery, nice hand written notes AND fab fragrances. So who would you recommend...

...I have to confess that I regularly test new scents (only the ones which I liked at first sniff during the day) on my wrist at night - I spray them on and experience them while I go to sleep. Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised at the gorgeous quality of the drydown when I wake up the next day, but most of the times the fragrances are gone in the morning...
