...Just don't spell it with only one LSilage = fermented cow fodder of grasses which absolutely reeks to high heaven. (Sort of correct anyhow)http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silage

...monster burps.... eeeuwTuberose based perfumes usually smell like old plant vase water on my skin. The vase that has been left waay too long and is festering gently. I do like tuberose on others but it doesn't like me.

...Someone on badger and Blade mentions Adrianahttp://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/373384-Decantshop-16-off-free-samples-and-free-shippingIf you look at how many times this poster pushes this site, then how high is the probability that the poster is one and the same person (or very nearby)?

...Where are old fashioned manners? Trouble always seems to be about grabbing some money…. and not caring what wake of damage or expense is caused to others. Silly woman should just have had a quiet word with S**** and they might have settled with a payment anyhow if she had a point. This sort of thing makes everyone dig their heels in and only the lawyers win. I suppose that is the real purpose.

...Rose et Noir, Miller Harris. Just been testing this one. I quite like this as a darker rose. I might obtain a proper sample and dirty it up a bit with a smoky note to see what happens. I rarely wear rose perfumes because they are often a bit fluffy bunny on my skin but this darker one is more savoury than sweet. Only had a spray tester, so need to try again. That is surely a good sign.

...Heat... everyone is saying it's so hot here and it is only 81*. Then as soon as it gets cold, everyone moans how Britain never gets a decent summer... you cannot win!!!I love heat, but to be fair I don't have to be outside in it all day.

...I will add the new Diorling. Probably doesn't count in this thread as it is already a proper classic, but the new one, although not a patch on the vintage, is still a dry and useful chypre to wear daily or for formal wear. I'm finding I repeatedly wear it as a trusty workhorse when I need to grab something out of the cupboard in a hurry without any decision making. Also have been asked what was the lovely perfume I was wearing. A sure sign of a real classic.

...Lavender water mixed with oatmeal for a facial scrub. A good astringent is Witch Hazel.Drink the cabbage water and spring greens water when it is half cooled. It is a magic wand for a bad complexion. It doesn't taste as bad as it sounds. it is like a thin soup with a little salt to taste.For a bad spot coming. Apparently putting toothpaste on it for the night is good but I haven't tried that one.Eating lots of fruit and veg of course is the best prevention, and eating oily fish for keeping good skin and brain.

...Only a member of IFRA has to comply to IFRAs rules. If the perfumer is not a member then they can use whatever they like. The more people who obey, then the stronger the rule becomes. We should be safeguarding the freedom of ingredients with a label saying what is inside. Then the consumer has the full choice whether to buy or not. The beauty of natural perfumery is already in grave danger with this over regulation.

...These weren't the best. Mystere was.I don't know why any perfume company bothers relaunching something under the same name that cannot possibly, nor would it be allowed to, smell the same. Just make a new one and be done with it. Make a direct descendant perfume if they really have to adopt the same, but please not more chemical clones. Pah!

...As a student, my union job was the social secretary, and to organise the evening entertainments. We quite often had interesting guests playing. I cannot remember them all. One evening was to look after Gary Glitter and his band and we got them all pizzas afterwards. He is not exactly tall and was very nice. Another evening was to look after Bad Manners. Buster Bloodvessel gave me a kiss afterwards for looking after them. I didn't wash that cheek for a while. I was just a bit besotted. They were a brilliant party band and pretty famous at the time.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJHzbnwgOX4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9csSb-H9GEWe sat at a restaurant table once next to George Michael and his friend when our son was just one. We were very respectful of their privacy, well as much as you can be with a small infant. Just before they left, they had to squeeze past us, so they had a chatter with us for a small moment and we were able to say how lovely the latest album was. He is very handsome and extremely smart in real life.I was working at a music console exhibition and Stevie Wonder came over with his entourage and spoke to the chaps on our stand. I'm not going to say the obvious.Can't think of any more. That's enough for one person though.
