...Hi everyone, Let me repeat that I fully agree with @Lempi 's suggestion to accompany a photo rejection with a brief explanation or a reference to which rule was broken. I will keep this in mind while I do moderation myself as well as forward the suggestion.Regarding the individual upload bans, I cannot comment because it is outside of my control/influence. If you feel you are wrongfully treated, I suggest to use the complaint form in this case. That may be a more effective way than the open forum to settle the dispute.The comment by @Nidodelia about being harassed shocks me because such behavior is simply unacceptable and should be reported. The community rules are very clear about this.As a mod I can try to mediate or -in the case of harassment- I can take measures even though my resources are limited. In any case, please feel free to reach out.

...Kurai Can this get moved In to the feedback and suggestions please so that it gets the proper attention it deserves. Please @DonVanVliet can you...

...Welcome to all newcomers, it's great to have you on board! Take a moment to explore the platform's features like the advanced search options and the advisor function. Feel free to ask questions in the forum. Cheers ✌

...thanks for the useful information and same to you, @Kurai ...

...Lempi Is here some place where we regular users can post suggestions to improve Parfumo? Like a general thread for all little suggestions and discussing about them, or should we always create a new thread for each separate suggestion? Or should we PM the admins directly?Hi @Lempi, Suggestions to improve Parfumo are always welcome! Feel free to create a new thread for suggestions in the Technical Support & Feedback section.Cheers ✌

...dear @Kurai, thank you so much for always answering so quickly and being very helpful and polite! You're doing such a great job as a moderator, I truly...

...Lempi You could number the rules, and every time when a moderator rejects a submitted photo, they would just click which rule it was breaking. All photographers would get a notification for example "your photo was rejected because of the rule number 6". Then the photographer would get a hint of the reason for the rejection. Hi @Lempi, I quoted just a small piece of your post because I think it is easy to overlook in the amount of text while it sounds like a useful suggestion. Other than that, I can fully understand the frustration of getting rejected after some effort but I cannot help you with why these particular photos got rejected. I do want this thread to stay on the topic of  "help as a new user" rather than to turn into a discussion about the photo rules. Your point is perfectly valid, by the way, and the thread that you were referring to initially seems like the right place to continue that discussion.

...The labels have correct double lining and they are glossy and matte where they should be. The inner tube has that thicker piece near the top. The bottle’s bottom should be fairly flat like a pancake, not too curved on the inside. Hard to say from these photos’ angles, but I’m leaning towards legit.Buying second hand for a too good a deal may be a red flag, though.

...perfumes based on specific notes, perfumer and other criteria.Feel free to reach out and ask questions! Enjoy your time here ✌Thank you so much, Kurai!I saw that feature, but I don't have that many perfumes (yet), so I have an easy time picking which to wear 😀It's always based on the weather...

...Hi and welcome to Parfumo!You are right, there are many features and it takes a while to explore them all. Personally, I like the advisor feature to track and plan my scent of the day. And the advanced search function helps finding new perfumes based on specific notes, perfumer and other criteria.Feel free to reach out and ask questions! Enjoy your time here ✌

...LempiAre there glitches in tagging certain fragrances? For example, I can't tag some Terres Dorées fragrances like Fleurs d'Oranger, Épicène or Vétiver. No matter which way I try to write the name after the hashtag, it doesn't show up. Is it only me, is someone else able to tag these? I'm using an Android smartphone via Chrome browser.Hi @Lempi The tagging function kind of works like a search function. So when the name is a super-common term like vetiver, l'eau, oranger and so on, they're getting harder to select. Adding some letters of the brand name or the year of release helps. Using the correct punctuation marks é / è also helps.Below the phrases that I typed to get your fragrances pop up in the tagging menu:Vétiver - vétiver dorFleurs d'Oranger - fleurs doreÉpicène - dorees épi

...Nice! I have tried some of their perfumes and they're never boring, that's for sure. Unique, artistic and sometimes just plain weird, but always a lot of fun to try them out. A few that I can recommend:Archives 69 a weird combination of plum and a tingling camphorJasmin et Cigarette which is a really great indolic jasmin, no cigarettesLike This like you said it's fun and wearableRien a totally different take on leather. rough and incense-yFat Electrician nutty-creamy vetiver. I found it gross, but everyone else seems to love itand what a pity that Fils de Dieu du Riz et des Agrumes is not among your samples. It is worth to keep looking for it, if you ask me!

...Here my suggestions are Blanc Poudre, Poudrextase and En PassantHope this helps.@Kurai Veey helpful. I'm more interested in the steamed rice note, but I find so many scents that just list "rice," without specifying whether it is...

...DanaMI spent a little time on another well known site, but for some reason it never really clicked for me? I was looking to download an app strictly for organizational purposes, since I am a weirdo like that, and stumbled across the Parfumo app. Meant to be.Hi @DanaM and welcome to the community!Yeah the app is quite handy as an assistant on-the-go. If organizational is your thing you have come to the right place! There are some great features here for a well organized perfume wardrobe with options like custom shelves and different ways of ranking/sorting. If you enter your scent of the day regularly, the tracker will give lots of useful insights into your wearing habits. Not all features are in the app yet, so give the website a try as well. Enjoy ✌

...With rice, I suggest to distinct two main types: there is the steamed rice note (more an accord actually) which reminds one of a bowl of freshly cooked rice ready to be eaten. Fils de Dieu du Riz et des Agrumes is the perfect example of this. Ginger, cilantro and lime complete the east-asian vibe. Other perfumes with a steamed rice note are L'Eau Papier and "Notes de Fond - Santal-Basmati | Affinessence" There is also the rice powder note. Rice powder is nothing like steamed rice. It is powdery in a make-up kind of way like heliotrope without the almonds. Here my suggestions are Blanc Poudre, Poudrextase and En PassantHope this helps.

...are so right, @Kurai ! Amber, spice and leather can be even offensive and loud to some people in work places. One poor colleague got an asthma attack after I passed her... and even some niche perfume stores, in my hometown. And the ones that I can’t find locally, I’ll just order decants online. Thank you, @Kurai ...

...Workplace-friendly female perfumes are my thing. I spend (too) many hours in the office, so I selected a large part of my perfume wardrobe accordingly. Personally I think amber, leather and spice do not fit in the workplace simply because they have a rather strong presence and can be received as oppressive or shouty. Citrus, powder, soap and soft florals are perfect for the job.My personal preference goes to the fresher florals like Orange blossom - Sandan Perfume Oil Lily-of-the-valley - Cavatina, Lucky, Fleur Verte, "Synthetic Jungle | Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle" Green tea - Thé Cachemire, Wūlóng Chá Extrait de Parfum, Hyouge Osmanthus - Osmanthus Narcissus can get animalic, but not with N°19 Eau de Toilette (the EDP is a no go)Irises are difficult, I think. Some are clean, others are highly flirtatious and it is a fine line between those two. My work-safe iris is Frosted Moon Chypres can go musty with their oakmoss/patchouli base on a stressful day, so I prefer not to go down that road. Although sometimes in winter I reach for 31 Rue Cambon Eau de Parfum Aldehydes give that soapy feel. Usually well-received, but to some people a reminder of baby wipes. Not so much with La Pausa Eau de Parfum Of course, with sandalwood you never go wrong Tam Dao Eau de Parfum One genre that I have not really dipped my toes into, especially in office settings, is the fruity perfumes. They may be a fairly safe place in between sweet-gourmand and light-fresh. All I have there is Premier Figuier Eau de Toilette Hope this helps! ✌

...VegaZ1. I asked them now to send the pictures with the paper2. there isn't any bottles left anywhere it has been discontinued for 3-4 years now cant find it anywhere, if u can find me one I will even pay you for finding oneHi @VegaZ and welcome to Parfumo!I have no experience with authenticity features of Tom Ford bottles specifically, but I would like to suggest studying some Fake vs Real videos on Youtube. They should be helpful to some extent. Of course like @Mitchcraft said, eBay purchases are always a gamble. Finally, a friendly reminder with regard to the community rules. Let's stick to the authenticity discussion and not make the forum a marketplace :)Anyways, good luck with your hunt for the discontinued gem!
