...Cruella:The good bottles are like this http://www.robertpiguetparfums.com/ they are all black, some of the low quality piguets from the previous company were also black but the label was different, so don't get confused.I bought one of the good bottles for my mother. I agree...it is beautiful stuff once again. :)

...I have been doing some "gender bending" fragrance wise here lately. Decided I didn't want to restrict myself to masculines, so I bought Azuree, Cabochard, Eden, Kenzo Flower, and Cabaret for my collection. Love the Azuree, like the Cabochard, and we'll see on the others. :)

...Dolby:AmySourbutts:Designer Imposters and Electric Youth are questionable additions. +1, big time."Coco" and "Egoiste" by Chanel, "Fahrenheit" by Dior, "Cool Water" by Davidoff, "Paris" and "Kouros" by Yves Saint Laurent, to name but a few on top of what's already been mentioned, would have been far more suitable additions to the list than those two obscure nonentities above.+2

...I will do that Cruella! :)

...Gmmcnair:Cruella:Sweetgrass:Cruella:I don't think Elizabeth Taylor perfumes should be considered cheapies, at least not the first three she released, they all...

...Really good memories of my late Aunt Marie and Tabu. She was big, loud woman who bartended all of her adult life, and a total sweetie. She chain smoked Pall Mall unfiltered cigarettes, and practically bathed in Tabu back when it was a powerhouse. I miss her.An acquaintance from college ruined CK Obsession for me. She was nice, but had deplorable hygiene habits. She douse herself with Obsession in lieu of a shower and some deodorant. So, whenever she was around, you would get hit with a wall of Obsession and then her rancid sweat.

...Dalmajen:Eternity:The opening of Shalimar Yes, agree! :roll:The first few minutes of Habit Rouge is another one. Versace The Dreamer is straight from hell on my skin the first 10-15 minutes.

...Cruella:Sweetgrass:Cruella:I don't think Elizabeth Taylor perfumes should be considered cheapies, at least not the first three she released, they all cost over 160 dollars an ounce and debuted at the most high of the high end stores. Specially White Diamonds which cost 200 dollars an ounce upon release.I had no idea :shock: they float around eBay for 10-20 USD for a 100ml bottle so something has clearly changed.Yes, I really don't know why Elizabeth Arden has allowed the Liz Taylor brand fall to the lowest depths of drugstore horror when in fact the brand was never intended to be a drugstore brand in the first place. White Diamonds is still the highest selling celebrity endorsed perfume in the world, and has been for 20 years, but you wouldn't know or think it was any good given how cheap it is, but it didn't start that way.The scents released after Black Pearls never debuted at the top like the first three though, I would say those are proper drugstore scents.I agree with this. I own a bottle of Passion for Men. It is a beautiful incense and vanilla based oriental fragrance. Nothing smells cheap about it in either the initial application or the drydown. I bought a tester online for about 12 bucks for a 3.4 oz bottle. Great bargain, but it does give the brand a cheap drugstore vibe when it is anything but cheap smelling. I do not like White Diamonds myself, but I respect that it is a beautifully crafted fragrance.

...Gmmcnair:I have .. a Green Irish Tweed knockoff in my laundryLol! Did you stumble upon that 'GIT clone'? Or actually spend time and money to find it...

...I am a bit of a fragrance glutton, and I generally want to smell as many (pleasant) scents as possible. Once caveat: they have to be EXACTLY what I want or I would prefer no scent stuff.For example, I use scented bath and laundry soap, along with dish soap. Soap that I made myself, and scented with exactly the fragrance I wanted and picked. So I have fresh cut roses scent for my dishwashing liquid, and a Green Irish Tweed knockoff in my laundry....LOL.

...I have been playing catch-up at work all week since the holiday weekend. I have also been expanding my perfume collection using part of an unexpected cash windfall I received.

...Azuree by Estee Lauder and sincerely loving it.

...Sleuth:Nice, I would like to hear some more feedback about that one :)S.o.t.D.: Cerruti 1881 (homme)Sherapop's review is dead on....sweet fougere accord saved from being too sweet by the cedar and patchouli. Unique, wonderful, and dirt cheap. I put it on at 6:30 this morning (3:30 pm right now), and it's still going strong (2 sprays to my chest) but not overpowering.

...Bought this one blind based on Sherapop's glowing review. She's right...it smells fantastic!

...Trying to get reacquainted with an old friend and having a bit of a hard time. This is so different than the stuff I wore in the 80s and 90s. :cry:

...Trying to get into the season, so I am wearing some coniferous fragrances for a bit. Today it's...

...Cold day so I am renewing my love affair with Habit Rouge.

...MiaVonTrost:Hayven:Thank goodness my perfume collection is a tiny safety net. I was able to sell enough to pay for two bills.Sound priority! Hope times get better soon and you needn't sell anything non-replaceable.+1. I have been nursing an aching back from the last push cleaning I did last night...ugh.

...An old friend...

...I have been perfume shopping on my breaks and lunch today. Getting everything narrowed down for Christmas time.
