...In any event, a perfume concentration of 20% is worth every penny.

...That product quickly sold out.Now it is available again (as more thoroughly described in a now locked new thread).See this link: http://www.tauerville.com/

...I am enormously curious about the new release - in April 2015 - by Neela Vermeire Créations: "Pichola".See Kafka's gorgeous photos of Lake Pichola in India. Above all, the notes tempt me.

...Well, they are at it again. To suggest banning an essential ingredient, but without all substantial data collected. Hence, inclusive, and without merit. On the German twin side, there is a lively discussion:http://www.parfumo.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40829&highlight= Read this link:http://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/consumer_safety/docs/sccs_o_167.pdf If you have the patience to dig through the whole report, at the end you will find -"On the basis of the inadequate data provided, a reliable safety assessment cannot be7 performed whether vetiveryl acetate on the market is safe for use in cosmetics at the8 concentration limits proposed by the IFRA. However, due to the major concern of9 genotoxicity the SCCS considers vetiveryl acetate unsafe as a cosmetic ingredient." So, based on inadequate data ... just declare it unsafe ... to be on the safe side.I thought that you would not want to miss this. I am also still wondering what is the latest on the oakmoss issue?

...Ylang and Vanille, like in "Aqua Allegoria Ylang & Vanille"Tonkabean, like in"Tonka Imperiale"

..."Grain de Soleil" +1(I was immediately thinking of that.)

...There might be. As Kafka continues to write, periodically.

...Opera and classical pieces.When babysitting my grandson (he is a toddler now), I open the laptop with more than one window, and rain classical music on him. Chopin's Nocturnes, Beethoven's Pastorale. As far as perfumes, he has a stuffed herbs pillow from the great state of Maine, U.S.A. and sniffs the pillow.

...Part 2 - Logistics - EU regulations

...Kafka, an excellent blog writer, is not among the others on the Parfumo Blog Roll. So I came across this series of articles about perfumers and perfumery schools, how the perfumers learn their craft. Not to be missed.

...I will suggest "La Route d'Emeraude (2012)" by Isabey. Comes to mind the Flower duet - Lakme de Delibes - "....le jasmin...."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf42IP__ipw

...I adore this woman. A great voice and a great performer.Which perfume should she wear?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2snTkaD64U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdc2zNgJIpY

...Most of the Bond No. 9 perfumes. Garish bottles, mediocre scents.With a few exceptions - "Bond No. 9 Perfume" "Madison Square Park" "Fire Island" "New Harleem"

...Perfume!You can walk barefoot and smell good.

...Siebter:Pipette:Suppose you research to buy "gun" and then the FBI follows you?Hm, I actually wish they would. Ha ha ha ... welcome, Siebter, from the German site.

...I have beenwatching the weather report updates. So far just a few flakes but tomorrow there is a huge blizzard coming. People may be sent home early today from their places of work and may not have to come in. Neither do I have to go babysitting. Food has been bought and stored. The actual work load will be on the snow trucks and the busses, trains to keep the city running. Lots of preparations and "emergency plans".The rest of us can watch the whole thing from the TV. And, as long there is an internet connection, we will be snug.And that the electric power does not go out. That would be bad ! A cold freezing house ... well nothing to look forward to.I am always impressed by the people who work in bitter cold weather, in the cold states of the U.S.A.

...I am regularly watching this season. You know that some of it is staged. Like each season has a trouble maker. It was Omarosa before. Now two women have constantly cat fights. This is adding zest to the script. I try to pinpoint who gets fired and who is going to last. Kate is not going to last much longer. Sometimes the fired one leaves the boardroom into the elevator with one hair style and comes out the front door going to the taxi with another hair style.So you know that there is preparation and make-up and movie production. To be fired is not in itself such a bad thing. It is a contest and the person has tried.All proceeds go to charity - so the show is helping the needy.

...That was when the seed was planted - and a gentle flower blossomed. Solid, beautiful and full of fragrance.

...CCleaner is "cookie cleaner" ??Suppose you research to buy "gun" and then the FBI follows you? This time without showing the cookies?Worrisome.

...Using the Fragrance Note Directory, filtering for Geranium, will give you fragrances featuring that note. Check it out here.But, of course, you would rather have personal recommendations.
