What new perfumes have that 'classic' potential?
by Tinctureall | Perfumes & Brands
...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.

Good Old Homespun Beauty Tips
by Tinctureall | Off Topic
...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.

Random blabbering in defense of natural ingredients Lyric Rain - Strange Invisible Perfumes
by Tinctureall | Perfumes & Brands
...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.

Rochas rebranding three classics Femme (1989) (Eau de Toilette) - Rochas
by Tinctureall | Perfumes & Brands
...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!

I once saw/met ...
by Tinctureall | Off Topic
...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.

...I don't use facebook but doesn't it have an image section at the top? You could convert the logo to an image file and say what you like. It would always remain at the top.

From Designer to Niche
by Tinctureall | Perfumes & Brands
...Vintage are still my favourites, but the odd niche is standing out enough to make me notice. I still love some classic mainstream if it is made well. I like all well made perfume and I don't mind what it is classified as. It could be loo spray for all I care.

How do you use the collection list?
by Tinctureall | Parfumo Community
...I think I may simplify it too, before I get too far in to make a muddle because they aren't showing in the same list. Sometimes I have bought something in a batch or have a batch that I haven't smelled yet but I have them.I don't suppose it matters much but it's nice to have an alphabetical list in one place. I've been meaning to catalogue them all for a long time.

How do you use the collection list?
by Tinctureall | Parfumo Community
...Thank you. I just wondered if others used the 'I have' button for anything other than FB's. It meant that I wasn't seeing all my frags on one list by separating them into samples and minis and FB's, but I didn't want to appear to have FB's where I don't.I love this collection list. So easy to do. Thank you.

How do you use the collection list?
by Tinctureall | Parfumo Community
...I was just wondering as I am gently cataloguing my scents.Only on the full bottle am I ticking the 'I have' box. Should I be ticking this one for minis and samples too? I'm suddenly not sure halfway through.A full bottle:- I'm ticking the 'I have' and the 'tested' boxA mini:- I'm ticking the 'Miniature' and the 'tested' boxA sample:- I'm ticking the 'Sample' and the 'tested' boxSmelled somewhere else or I have a smelling strip:- I'm ticking only the 'tested' boxJust checking.
