...Dulcemio:Unlike a lot of designer frags of the past, where there was a famous perfumer behind the creation, I think the celeb scents are much more formulaic in their intent. I saw a piece on TV once showing a celebrity picking out notes as though picking toppings for their frozen yougurt, and then a professional team takes over to turn it into something sellable. They're not trying to reinvent the wheel, just tweek it a little. :)Well, it probably depends on what is categorized a famous perfumeur because they do celebrity scents as well, so it's still the same to me. I don't think the "picking out"-phase is different and imo a lot of those don't reinvent the wheel as well.Of course we like it since it's our personal taste/preference or not (when we dislike it) :)Or maybe it depends on the term "designer scents", I'm not quite sure at the moment if the term is equally used in german and english, so maybe we could mean different things by labeling them this way :)

...Dulcemio:Generally speaking, the objective is not to create a masterpiece bursting with originality but to put out a popular product that would bring in sales. Well, this is the same for designer labels and drug store scents as well I believe.I don't think Joop, Armani or whoever is involved more than J.Lo and Gaga :)

...Omni:Hi Franfran, I would love your take on Gwen Stefani's Lamb and Kate Moss's Vintage.Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. or simply L may be something for clean lovers only.While a lot of people call it a stink bomb (wet lamb, musk, soap, animalic), I can confirm this, although it's not that terrible as you might think. To me it doesn't smell good, but not really like wet lamb ;) It's a highly aquatic, clean/floral scent and this is something I don't really like. The pear note is too synthetic and watery sweet, plus the other watery/green ingredients or notes it should represent, violet leaf, water hyacinth and lily of the valley. And the musk that makes it smell like a lotus pond to me (like Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday). It's not horrible, but very specific. It gladly didn't last too long on me, but it's mediocre longevity-wise.---I don't know Vintage by Kate Moss.

...Well, this seems like the thread for me :lol: I tested almost every popular celebrity brand existing (meaning real celebrities, not those wannabes ;) - if I remember correctly one or two wannabes :P ).There are good and bad ones in each.Of course I love me some Mariah 8) Forever is my all-time favorite. Followed by M, That Chick, Ribbon and Honey. Those are really nice. Vision of Love was too, but I can't wear it that often.Jessica Simpson's line (minus the Dessert Treats edible stuff) had good ones too. I have nothing bad to say about those, but Parlux seems to have terminated the contract. Personally I can't wear Fancy, but all others are recommandable.Both Madonna's are good, although I hate Madonna ;)Hilary Duff's With Love is wonderful, but discontinued.Taylor Swift's Taylor as it is close to Fancy Love.Amanda Lepore is fantastic, but not affordable with $550 :lol:Ah, there are too much brands to go through all of them.I'd stay away from Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj - those latest additions to Elizabeth Arden are yuck. I don't like Rihanna's stuff at all. Too heavy and stinky or simply blunt. Beyoncé doesn't do it either. Lady Gaga - zero points.I'm personally disappointed in Kylie Minouge's line - only the men's fragrance Inverse is nice. Shania Twain's weren't good either. Reese Witherspoon's Avon scents too unfortunately.When it comes to companies Coty has hits and misses. Elizabeth Arden too. Others have few celebrity brands, but there is a nice scent here and there. Back off Proctor & Gamble made scents (Christina A., Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford etc.), they smell of laundry detergents.And I'd stay away from those UK-made celebrity scents, they are by far the worst production wise. If there is a specific line I didn't mention - just ask. Maybe I can say something about it too :DYou can take a look at my collection and ask about a particular scent if you like.

...Hayven:But I thought they looked nifty :)For sure.But will they ever use these :D :?:

...Franfan20:I cant say anything to this :?LOL!:lol...

...I cant say anything to this :?

...Best: Tonka by Réminiscence. Perfect match for me.Worst: Explosions d'Émotions by L'Artisan. Experimental, headache inducing, yuck - especially "Skin On Skin".Weirdest: in a good way: "Eau de Toast". love the humor in this one.in a bad way: "Helvetica". although clearly a joke I'll wonder how many people really will buy 2 oz. distilled water for $62????

...Dlane1953:"After My Own Heart" by Ineke is very nice, very realistic.yes :)

...Scarletting: Some kind of form for adding multiple new scents attributed to one perfume house would also be a huge time saver, especially when adding a house not already in the database.If this could be made possible technically it would be an improvement yes. But then again, it must be distinguished between gender, years, availability and so on. No idea how this could made possible in one formula.Scarletting: It would require more thorough checking by others before being approved but the number of separate pages to process would be cut down.Well that's true. The more people help, the less work is on the shoulders of a few people. As you probably can see the queue is always quite stocked, but thankfully the pre-research days are over. Back then, multiple proposals have been stuck for months, at least we can now add proposals in a relatively short time.Yet, everybody needs a rest sometime :wink:

...Scarletting:What is the process for adding images of perfumes to the database?You can either submit the photo with the proposal (there is an upload button when you put in a source) or you can simply e-mail them to [email protected]> Images on white background (as less shadows as possible, no water signs, best quality available)-> The images are added by the admin only, so please be patient. The images of new proposals - especially new releases - are usually added right away (but it takes time).If you plan on writing an email, please collect all the images you'd like to submit first and give the source, so the inbox is not full of emails containing only one pic each.I forgot to mention that it could be possible that an image is rejected without further notification for multiple reasons.
