...Waiting for these two, should arrive sometime this week. One is from the UK, the other from Holland....Prada infusion d'Iris Absolue....and Shalimar Ode a la Vanille :D

...I would probably read projection as sillage when used in a review, but Pipette and Dalmajen's descriptions are correct. In the perfume world, I think both words could be used interchangeably without researching the history. I suppose it...

...Pipette has explained this perfectly! The Projection is how much the perfume radiates from the skin, and the sillage leaves a trail. I suppose, in reality, without projection, there can't be a perfumed trail, as the scent has not projected, or strong enough to leave a scented trail. So, it may be how the person explains his or her thoughts on a certain perfume. Another thought...Projection may be a short, strong burst of radiating scent, where as the Sillage is a much more lasting impression.

...Just found the Floris site .... Oh my ... those damn candles! Wish I could have them all .... 40 GBP is quite expensive ... and, the shipping here is 30 GBP. I could get a friend to bring me one..but they are a luxury! Who has tried this one? This is my choice. :wink:

...What is the Divine website please? Tried to google it, but nothing came up. Would love to browse, and see what they have! Thank you. :)

...I am waiting for some samples, with Oud. Can't wait to try them, as am pretty curious. I suppose that Gentleman in the fragrance shop knew what he was talking about, coming from Saudi Arabia.But, these things sometimes come in waves of popularity...popular for a few months, then all these new fragrances just cash in on the craze. Will let you know what I think of Oud, when I get the samples!

...What about all those Sparkly ones? I don't even know where people find those....Twinkle twinkle...etc etc..

...The English spelling is a dead giveaway. And, the prices are quite hefty. I would rather save for the real thing, than pay a few hundred for something that is, to say the least, iffy. I could never afford one of those original bags, but hate the look of the plastic ones. These ones would have to be seen, and held to really know. :wink:

...just sent you a pm Dalmajen, I am really curious about the ending of the book...

...Dalmajen:Eurochic:I got the big 200ml bottle of "Beige" and now I'm so bored with it. I wish they would sell smaller bottles of the Les Exclusifs line.I have...

...Eurochic:I got the big 200ml bottle of "Beige" and now I'm so bored with it. I wish they would sell smaller bottles of the Les Exclusifs line.I have to say also that one day a perfume may smell really nice on me, and the next day it may smell completely off. Does anyone know when is the best timing to try out a new perfume (talking about hormonal fluctuations here, sorry guys). I got the 75ml. Coromandel, mainly because I couldn't afford the bigger one! Just store your Beige away, and you will go back to it, it's too damn beautiful to ignore for long! It's normal to have off days, for fragrances etc. (especially for the ladies) . I think being bored with a fragrance is O.K, as you will come back to it. But when you start to really dislike it, that's when the love affair with the scent is over!

...Dalmajen:I just finished Water For Elephants...loved it! Now starting Freedom, by..Johnathan Franzen.I loved the book, so different from the run of the mill...

...I just finished Water For Elephants...loved it! Now starting Freedom, by..Johnathan Franzen.

...I was recommended by two of my Fragrantica friends. :D

...Yes, The Lolita Spray is really annoying! And, I hate the sprayer on Alien. Will go to youtube and look that up). Don't drop The One bottle! I nearly broke my damn foot on that one! :shock:

...I love his no.12 Eau D'Epices, and wrote a review on this one. I also really like no.04 Reverie au Jardin, and will probably review this soon. I have several samples, and find his scents very unique. They are strong, and for my taste, quite unusual. Most of them have a very prominent Smoke accord. I prefer no.12 to the famous no.02 LADDM.

...Eternity:The opening of Shalimar Yes, agree! :roll:

...Yes, this is an interesting question, as lately, I don't want to wear my cashmere mist, or Boucheron as much as before. The notes just don't seem to appeal like they used to. They have not turned, as they are not old, and always are stored properly. It just seems to me, as the magic is not there anymore. :roll:
