...https://www.parfumo.com/Fragrance_Note/Roasted_cocosI think roasted coconut may be better suited, the current one seems to illustrate coconut trees on fire.Thanks for fixing :)

Translated reviews
by Anessa | Parfumo Community
Re: Translated reviews
...Hi, as far as I have observed, since English is taught as the 1st foreign language at the majority of German secondary schools - apart from the great linguistic proximity to German (though not as close as to Dutch) - it is easier for German-speaking members to read English reviews on parfumo.com if they wish, than the other way round for international members to read German reviews on parfumo.de.Furthermore, given the constant flow and number of incoming reviews on parfumo.de, I am 100% sure that German* members are happy to keep the current state of traffic for a better overview.Obviously, translation is done automatically, so I would assume that the lack of quality compared to paid human translators are understandable (talking about the ideal case - I've seen a number of human translations that were much worse).However, this translation feature can be deactivated. Therefore, translated reviews displayed on parfumo.com come from members who have given their consent and accept the flaws that you have pointed out. Some members prefer to write reviews separately in both languages or manually correct the automatic translation afterwards. This is all possible.It can be said that overall, while reading may not be an issue for the reasons mentioned above, for those who do not feel comfortable or hesitate to actually write reviews in English (and if you think about it - isn't this task sometimes difficult enough even in your mother tongue?), this feature is very welcome because it gives them the opportunity to share their reviews with more people by overcoming the language barrier.I suppose that the translated comments under the reviews are also intended to encourage interaction between German* and international Parfumo members.And so far, the feedback from the German* community on this feature has indeed seemed very positive.I hope to have answered some of your questions.*Here, German = German-speaking. Shortened for simplicity.

Either/Or
by Anessa | Off Topic
...I'd prefer letters also. Phone calls only in emergencies or if it's someone I haven't heard from/seen in ages.Time is an issue as well if one can't multitask.I remember having sat for hours on the floor, unable to tackle anything but obliged to listen to pointless monologues of female acquaintances who were just bored and had nothing else to do.Snacking: Definitely salty. I won't touch caramelised popcorn ;)Which of these would you prefer: Unfriendly/ill-humored assistants who make you feel uncomfortable every time, the shop itself offers very good prices. Very accomodating and pleasant atmosphere, prices are more than double the first shop.

How did you hear about Parfumo?
by Anessa | Parfumo Community
...I was looking for any info/reviews of a particular perfume I was considering to purchase blindly.I can't even remember if I bought it in the end - I think not :)Reading comments on other known fragrances got me hooked, and then, reading about fragrances in general.I was also impressed by the database covering not only major brands but also unknown and long-forgotten ones.

...Definitely shower; bath only if it's a sitting tub because I don't like to lie and eventually feel asleep or become rather drowsy.You've received a gift from someone who's living far away within the same country.Would you thank them with a letter or per phone call?

What most people don't know about you.
by Anessa | Off Topic
...- my favourite colour also is indigo :) and other particular hues of blue; I don't like wearing red- I had a rabbit; I don't eat coneys either and really dislike predators (all sorts) that just 'play' with their prey for cruel fun without the intention to feed out of need- I was going to have a profession in the musical field and now, am dreaming to become a jam session musician in my next life- I can't concentrate if someone is listening to music that is just noise to me- Out of the (psycho-)thriller/suspence genre, I used to read lots of Patricia Cornwell, Ruth Rendell, Patricia Highsmith, William Irish, Colin Dexter... in my youth (the more classic ones Christie, Doyle, Ellery Queen etc. excluded). While I don't read anything of the first genre (Kay Scarpetta etc.) anymore and can't be interested, I still enjoy the rest.- I never smoked in my life and still get headaches and pressure in my lungs inhaling other people's cigarette smoke- Instead, I've been a coffeeholic since I was officially allowed to drink coffee; I love the aroma, but wouldn't put it on as perfume whereas I do like wearing tea scents- I don't like 'beachy' fragrances and the real situation, but I still like aquatics- Most of the perfume bottles people find ugly, I really don't think so. I may lack taste.

How much is too much?
by Anessa | Perfume Discussions
...Same here as Exciter :)For me, it strongly depends on the kind of fragrance and the circumstances (season, place, time of the day).An EDC strength in the summer would be sprayed like a body mist about 3-4 times+touching up.Since I usually do not want my fragrances to project, a moderately 'strong' one (subjective perception) would be worn once, max. twice under clothes.Concerning your title about how much - if the elevator or public transport is filled with the scent, if I smell someone's trail minutes after the person's gone or has just passed by (no matter in the open air or a room), I would consider this as 'over-spray'.If I have to sit next to or behind someone at the theatre/cinema/opera whatnot and can't concentrate on the stage because of the scent of this person during the whole performance, I would regard this as a result of over-spraying as well.

...Hello Oriane,Sorry to hear about your bad experiences with this vendor.Dusty inside/dirty cellophane which made my fingers grey and obviously looked as if it had been too much in heat or sunlight sound familiar to me.However, the envelope and tightly ruined box aside, greasy packaging and fingerprints indeed sound more than one should expect from a professional vendor.For that matter, I even wouldn't want these by a private seller, similar to some clothes or crafting items 'in very good condition' smelling of tobacco smoke.Hopefully, the customer service will process your claim and make amends as it is due.If such are not single cases, I cannot imagine them already being almost 20 years around.Nonetheless, I wish you a Merry Christmas and beautifully scented holidays.
