...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 :?:

...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.

...Cryptic:Fran, FYI: This topic was shut down elsewhere and some of our new members have expressed chagrin over the censorship, so this thread was created so that they could continue the discussion if they choose to do so. No trolling intended, no trolling anticipated. Okay?I know. I read the off topic discussion about it, as I wondered about the topic. Surely it'S ok.

...TOPIC MOVED :P :twisted: :lol: Be careful :wink:I'd suggest these guys make one for the women and everybody's happy ;)"Eau Mo Pour Gay"

...WolfM:How long after i reach the limit of 10 proposals, I can add new ones?Danke!Until one of these proposals is taken up into the catalog, then you can add again until it's 10 proposals again and so on.

...@Epimedes:The report button is for reporting reviews that either include obviously copied content, copied marketing descriptions or personal, sexual, religious etc. harrasment. When you report a review, the info will go to the admin and the report is checked. If it happened by accident, nothing happens. If the report is justified, the review is deleted.The helpful yes/no buttons are to distinguish between helpful and not helpful comments of course. if enough people vote yes, the review will get a green top line stating (helpful, very helpful or greatly helpful), if enough people vote no it will get a red top line (not helpful). Nobody is dared to use those buttons.Same with the awards. You don't have to award and the purpose is not to award everything, but to personally pick a review you like for a good description, style, whatever and leave an award. if somebody doesn't want awards he/she can turn off this feature in the settings.Same with answers to reviews. YOu can leave an answer to a review if you would like to highlight something you really liked or give a short comment about the scent yourself. But you don't have to. I don't see anything confusing in that. These are just multiple ways to react, but none is mandatory.

...Dlane1953:Clearly someone some where has misused the reply option, but is it a big problem here?I guess it's not that big of a problem on the international site gladly. but on the german site every now and then people are at each other (sometimes for nothing). especially when a review to a beloved fragrance is provocatively negative or even worse just to cause trouble (or evokes to cause trouble). When they try to bash each other they now have the report function. We'll see how much misuse of this button will be done :roll:

...Cryptic:Chelsea Handler as Tippi Hedren? :lol:

...No problem :wink:

...Flavorite:Question: I've been searching for NM "Fireside" for the Autumn...is it discontinued?Do you mean "Afire" maybe?

...Kelly & Jones might be the right thing for you.Or Ex Vinis.They both produce fragrances inspired by wine.

...I'd say as long as it isn't the same scent just in a different / altered bottle, it's ok to post different concentrations. Some might argue why this or that is allowed or isn't, but I don't see a problem with this rule.All those different LeMale / Classique flankers in new designs are not needed in my opinion. Also an A*Men just with rubber around the bottle instead of plastic or whatever is not necessary as a seperate entry either. A scent enhanced with shimmer makes no difference too.It would be more useful to have some sort of subcategory that shows users what limited edition bottles/desings/shimmer etc. have been available. Seperate entries for all of these make the overview sites of some brands quite confusing.I'm just no friend of accepting everything in general.

...Neil Morris' "Afire" is pretty much burning wood with citrus fruits to me. But be careful , it can easily pinch you, but it's burning/crackling for sure :lol:

...Cryptic:How dare they call this "jolie," lol. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :twisted:

...Now I know what happened to my review :lol: Thanks ;)Well... I would get tired of copy&pasting several times to have a full review read out , but a nice game for sure. :P
