...I don't know exactly why but it looks like an AVON mini to me.

...Nice topic.First up, dear Briarthorn, I am NOT enchanted of "Enchanted Forest" - but, of course, to each her own, and this here is the panel for discussion about what pleases, or not, of all those enticing (via ads) perfume offerings. I went out of my comfort spending zone and ordered, from France, a sort of old-fashioned perfume -"Divine" -of which I had tested a sample a while ago and found it skin warm, subtle and lady-like pleasing. We shall see ... http://www.divine.fr/accueil_en.php There is an article about an interview with the owner on the German side, and I will insert the link, and in a way continue the "word of mouth" spreading of a good product's reputation. http://www.parfumo.de/Benutzer/Louce/Blog/Eintrag/aSpreading_the_Word

...Could it be that you perfume fans have used perfumes excessively - over long periods of time - and that now the body protests?

...There is no such sure-fire thing. Women, by nature, tend to be more versatile or, should I say, delve into details.Therefore, many modern perfumes are chosen to adorn themselves with. One statement-making perfumes I could come up with, is"Art Collection - Rouge No.2" by M. Micallef.Girls, name others, please.

..."Watch Collection - Time for Love" is a soft nice perfume.You girls complained about scents which are overwhelmingly strong. I would add "Norell" to those which with the tiniest dab fill a whole room. Not my thing. A perfume - for me - should just be a companion. Not a blazing advertisement, here she is. Or leave a trail, here she was. "Molinard de Molinard" also announces the person and leaves a crisp trail. Waft, sillage, or whatever.That "whatever" ought to be soft, to be liked by yourself and the ones close around you.So, among the recent and further back discoveries - of the discreet type - I would like to add "La Route d'Emeraude - 2012".That's it. My one and a half scents [sic] to the discussion.

...This upset may not remain for the whole nine months. Hopefully it is a passing stage and you can go back to your normal self enjoying your vast array of perfumes. The little baby/embryo/fetus has something to say now and you should heed his/her little voice ... like Apicius said above. Best wishes, young mom. Enjoy.

...One can only vote regarding the version which is listed on the perfume page. If you don't have the original version you should not vote.Describe the differences in a review or with a statement.

...You write good. (? correctly - you write well ?) Anyhoo, you always bring interesting topics to this Forum and initiate fresh discussions. Agree or not, there is food for thought.

...When I read "Madame Bovary" by Gustave Flaubert, there was a passage of her soft perfume filling the air, the whole room.But Google search did not reveal that passage, but other references did.

...By my experience decanted perfumes last less long, be they professionally decanted from a place like The Perfumed Court, or by myself using clean decanting supplies. It may have to do with the exposure to air and the general "handling". Are the decants stored "cool and dark" like full bottles usually are ? Perhaps not, because they are in use ... in the handbag or other open places. I would never purposely shrink my collection into just decants. It took too long to put it together, like a piece of art. There is pleasure to hold a nice bottle and spray lovingly.

...Just a few.Have a look. Those are exquisite and have withstood the "test of time". I got rid of what I did not like - be it that it was a mistake or that I just got tired of it. You can find out what happens when using your collection via the Method of "Often Worn" (among the PARFUMO tools) which are really the favorites, for whatever reason.A perfume surrounding me must be in my comfort zone - and not a challenge to "getting used to it". *****************************Good discussion. Thanks, Briarthorn, for bringing up good topics constantly.

...Briarthorn:Just found another reviewer that isn't bad, Fragrance Talk. I like how he breaks down the notes and comments on how they work together and come across. Could you kindly include that link for our benefit? (Just copy/paste the URL line.) Thank you.

...I just had another thought - if a perfume has been reviewed on YouTube by a Parfumo member, that link could be included on their Profile page and on the respective Perfume Page.

...I love watching YouTube reviews of perfumes of interest. Yes, there are many reviewers.Have some of Parfumo members done reviews on YouTube? If so, please come forward and include the link. Thank you.

...The Flushing neighborhood is full of trades, at the street corners, too. Fresh oysters from a plastic pot, wrapped strange things in leaves, vegetables in a little bowl for one dollar. My connection with that particular stall is still going strong. I know that I am selling my stuff at a loss, but I like the convenience. My closets get emptied without big fuss. Perfumes? I have nothing more to sell, what I have now is precious to me. Just clothes, costume jewelry and the like are still being shod. Beautiful warm things he did not want because all is quick sales and have to be in season.I will be back in the Winter, and he greets me with "my friend". Sure, all the bargains he gets and then sells them higher.

...I am a little disappointed. Not that it is not a beautiful perfume ... but I have to, sort of, warm up to it. Not ready to say more, I wrote a Statement. That says it in a nut shell but does not do the perfume justice.

...I am smitten again. And that just because of those glorious reviews about this perfume on the German twin site.And so I threw all caution aside and blind bought it directly from the brand website. Have a look:http://www.lovethekeytolife.com/ Quite impressive, don't you think?Now I wonder whether anyone on the English site has come across this perfume or heard about it?It seems to be flying under the radar since 2008.

...This may be worth reading. http://www.basenotes.net/features/3158-what-is-really-going-on-with-eu-fragrance-regulations As far as I am concerned, I have given up on the matter.Just spraying on something from my small collection and enjoying the day, and life.

...Strange notes are nothing that I would want to wear, nor spend money on.

...Monday - "Art Collection - Rouge No. 2" by M. MicallefTuesday - sameWednesday - sameThursday - sameFriday - samewhich means that I only have one skanky one, but what a scent !
