...There is not much that I know yet in this list, so I can't pick a favorite. I wonder how these sort of lists are put together. I miss Divine's L'Homme Infini and at least one of the new Lubin fragrances. If Frapin counts as "indie" they should do as well.

...Pipette:http://www.parfumo.com/Users/Florblanca/PerfumePicture/14741 On the afternoon that I spent hours rating, this photo would have gotten 100% from me.A. The bottle is well photographed and all fine print is showing.B. The package is well photographed and all fine print is showing.C. The background is creatively staged.I admit that rating photos objectively is not an easy task.I see that by now, the rating of that photo has gone up again.If Don creates new features here at Parfumo, things can always be done in one way or in a different way. Personally, I share some of the criticism that has come up against the rating of perfume pictures as it is at the moment.Don will surely have a close look at the feature again, and after some time has passed and some experiences are being made, who knows, maybe there is a change or some further development.

...Apicius:Pipette:After all, we are here to have fun. Points, fine. Lots of points, fine. Just a few points, fine too. Yes, this is the best attitude... mindset huh? Now I understand why no one appreciates my humour. :shock: I thought I was going to get some snacks for being in the corner. Good job Apicius, you are really trying to be fair with this issue.Ok, explain this. http://www.parfumo.com/Users/Florblanca/PerfumePicture/14741 how can this picture...

...Pipette:After all, we are here to have fun. Points, fine. Lots of points, fine. Just a few points, fine too. Yes, this is the best attitude.Pipette:When I did my blog, I must have stepped into a nest of angry wasps for the furor it created. So I did not start what was already there.Pipette, I think I am in the position now that I have to ask for excuse for my fellow German parfumistas!I would not say that you have stepped into a nest of angry wasps - you have just been exploring the German mindset - which is considerably different from Anglosaxon social rules. It seems in my country certain values in communication like honesty, straightforwardness, always say what you think are esteemed much higher than, i.e., politeness, respect, friendliness, humour which to me seem to have a higher value in the Angolsaxon world.Due to this, it is possible that some tension can easily build up in discussions, however, only in rare cases the results are like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33Vxyb5BYrcSometimes, I intervene as a moderator and ask the participants if anybody wants to have a "Kosakenzipfel" :wink:

...the other discussion came up re cat+perfume pix started to wonder whether I should start taking cat+perfume pix too (from the rare bottles I do own) Apicius..

...Dulcemio:Okay ... WTF?????Cats and dogs are the embodiment of innocence and pureness of spirit. Mentioning them with any connection whatsoever to human sexuality is beyond creepy. Yuck. Maybe I'm not hip enough for this room.And anyone who complains about the joy others take in their pets is just pathetic and sad, don't you think. How sad they must be on the inside.Sorry to have offended you, Dulcelmio, my intention was to give an explanation what might be behind the ongoing misunderstandings.
