...Honestly, I've either gotten standard, "You smell nice," compliments or people say nothing. I suppose the closest memorable comment/reaction I've gotten was when I wore Vanilla Noir. A man in a nightclub followed me all night and kept calling me 'his Beyonce'. It was a weird experience but I'll attribute the weird behavior with alcohol and vanilla.

...I love these:Mugler Cologne or its update, Mugler Cologne - Come Together Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Bianca

...Thank you for standing up for us reviewers. I know I've come across reviews that go against my own opinions, and I've written reviews criticizing perfumes beloved by others. We shouldn't be censored for having honest opinions. I think this perfume house is making a huge mistake but to each their own, right?

...Honestly, I haven't purchased a perfume in a few years. I think I deserve a perfume shopping spree for my unintended no-buy! All that said, I did just receive Voile d'Ocre yesterday as part of a promotion. I really liked it and it was free with my makeup primer order. You can't beat free, right? :)

...ElynthiaExciter76My niece is playing some lo-fi hip hop for me.  It's good.I've been enjoying lo-fi hip hop recently, too! It's really relaxing.It is! I downloaded a few songs I heard recently. It might be my new favorite genre right now. I feel like, with all the chaos in the world, I need music that keeps me centered and calm. 💙

...Fragrantica's latest clusterf**k of a fiasco:https://twitter.com/punished3l...Odd considering no one is allowed to bring up anything political and yet, there they go imploding upon themselves.

...Amir1990kkعطر يا ويل من رمساتPerfume Ya Will from Ramasat?Sorry, I had to run this through Google translate. I've never heard of it but I really love the horse themed bottle.

...Thanks Kurai for jumping in and pointing to the souk. That is definitely a great place to start. Also, check out Luckyscent.com for niche samples. I think that's where you'll find what you are looking for.

...I blindly bought a vintage bottle of Narcisse Eau de Toilette years ago. I tried it and found it cloying. Oh, and I hated the drydown so much! I gave it to my mom, who tucked it away, never to be seen again. After she passed away the bottle came back to me. I remembered hating it so I tried to get rid of it but no one would have it. I tried it again and FELL IN LOVE. Shout-it-from-the-rooftops kind of love. I don't know what happened but I'm so smitten with it. It reminds me of one of my biggest loves, Organza Eau de Parfum, though I can't put my finger on why this is so. I'm grateful no one would take it.I know I can't be the only one who's had this type of delayed experience. Has this happened to you? What scent was once a scrubber but is now a favorite? I'd love to know! Maybe I need to go back and try some other scents I once dismissed.

...Off topic (sort of) but I have a few ylang ylang perfumes and they smell banana-ish to my nose. Fleurs des Caraïbes is a banana-like tropical scent, akin to banana flavored Now and Later chews. I wonder if that's what's giving Songes Eau de Toilette its banana impression?

...The first scent that came to mind was G I R L by Pharrell Williams, a woody sweet-ish vetiver and violet unisex scent with an intriguingly odd bottle.I went to see your wardrobe and noticed it's empty. When you have a chance fill in your wardrobe so other members can better suggest scents for you. And also, I'm nosey and I'd love to see what you enjoy! 🙂

...That's quite an upgrade. It looks really nice but it'll take some getting used to it. I have an account but i rarely check it so I'll probably never fully used to it.

...My niece is playing some lo-fi hip hop for me.  It's good.

...Interesting! Thanks for sharing that. AI coming up with what it thinks consumers want? Yikes!

...Luckily, I haven't had any lost bottles in the mail, but I did a swap where my bottle leaked (faulty bottle design). My swap partner initially asked me to financially compensate her, even though I offered to send her perfumes back. I ended up swapping out another perfume I was reluctant to part with. I know when we swap or sell, we take chances. Since it is a decant, either offer a refund or send  another decant? If nothing else, keep the lines of communication open.

...I've sold perfumes on eBay so that's my only experience with selling perfumes.  I've had a few buyers who have claimed they were going to pay but didn't pay.  In those cases, I believe the standard wait time is 48 hours.  Are you selling through the Souk, through a website like eBay, or independently?  It sounds like it may be time to relist your perfumes.  Good luck!

...I had one, Mandarin Jasmine #994 that was pure oranges... and jasmine. However, it's not musky but rather a straightforward oranges/jasmine scent. But you have to like jasmine. Right now, Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Bianca is satisfying that "pure oranges" craving for me. I don't detect musk but it is the entire orange tree in a bottle.

...That's a great looking bottle!  I've never seen it before and I can't find a seller online.  That's unfortunate; it's a great bottle.

...I just looked up Nicky Chini, a hair products company.  I wonder if the perfume was either a hair perfume or a limited edition.  You could reach out to the company and include pictures.My condolences to you and your family.  I recently lost my mother and I'll need to sort through her things in the near future. My sympathy is with you.

...PowpowOutremer vanille (cotton candy, brown sugar, like vanilla)and even less expensivePacifica Island Vanilla (Tahitian vanilla, tea, bourbon, ice cream)I was going to suggest Island Vanilla Perfume also. It's my summer go-to vanilla. If you don't mind oils try Vanilla Bean. It's a straightforward vanilla but it's cheap, fantastic smelling, and long lasting.
