...Joan Miró. But I'd sell it or give it away because it's REALLY not my thing :)"Rive Gauche pour Homme" or "Platinum Égoïste"? (and please tell me why)

...The Police..The Conjuring or Chappie ?

...I don't know much about it either, I'm just mentioning some names to give an idea of what I'm talking about.Yes it's always fun to test stuff that you probably wouldn't wear yourself. Sometimes it includes really original stuff like for example Youth Dew - I'm glad I sneaked around at the women's aisle :)Van Cleef&Arpels pour Homme is a favourite of mine. It's dark, has a little rose and pine. Others say it's rather soapy and not so impressive. That may be so, but I still like it. I'm mostly interested in sweet scents for men, so suggestions are welcome.

...Apparently we are the only crazy people here who think it's spring already :)However at the l'Erbolario shop they agree with me because they had a nice linden blossom fragrance: "Ombra di Tiglio". I only tested it on paper but I liked it quite a lot! Testing recommended!

...hi, I asked this question because so far I've always had non sweet fragrances like- "Jazz (1988)"- "Montana Parfum d'Homme"- "Pour Homme" by Van Cleef & ArpelsSimilar is "Tsar", though I didn't have that one.But sweeter fragrances might be more cheerful for me as a wearer and for the person who smells it.What I consider sweet is:"Paco Rabanne pour Homme" (honey)and maybe "Azzaro pour Homme" (though less so, and I'm not really familiar with it)I'm open to suggestions! - And which one, sweet or not, do you prefer to smell on a guy?For me, "Obsession" is in the sweet category, though not very sweet."Youth Dew" I'd call warm but not sweet.Also recently I smelled "Must de Cartier" EDT. Which is in the same genre as Obsession but almost lacks sweetness.

...I like fragrances that are made in the pre-1990's style, you know the so called "powerhouses". Let's discuss this a bit. Let's not focus on whether a fragrance is actually a powerhouse but I'd like to know from you whether you prefer them to be sweet or not sweet.For men: I'm talking about aromatic fragrances (with or without moss), fougères, woody/leathery fragrances, orientals etc.For women: I'm talking about loud floral fragrances, chypres, orientals etc.More specifically: For yourself do you prefer them to be sweet or not sweet? And on someone of the opposite sex, do you prefer such a fragrance to be sweet or not sweet?

...What does one put in a bowl? Soup, yoghurt or serial?

...I know the house but not the blanks! :)

...The snowdrop and crocus flowers are getting ready to bloom. Over here at least.Should we officially declare it spring already?! :)

...Update by Nstperfume: Additional notes for Hermès Le Jardin de Monsieur Li include mint and sap; it will debut in March.Update by Basenotes, additional note: sichuan pepper.

...LED.Thierry Mugler "A*Men / Angel Men" or Chanel "N°5" ?

...Hi GreySolon,Just curious, have you been able to test the Patchouly Noir by IL Profvmo that I recommended? I'd like to hear your thoughts about it.

...space opera.Either taking care of a lion for 1 afternoon (like in a zoo, with instructions over the phone),Or taking care of a big fat hippo for a month (instruction by phone too).

...I think a perfume person works at NPR :)http://onpoint.wbur.org/2008/04/21/perfume-appreciation(the player didn't work for me, but downloading & playing the mp3 did work)About an earlier book from Luca Turin:http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=1175361&m=1175362On Chanel No.5:http://onpoint.wbur.org/2011/01/21/coco-chanel-history(Again, downloading and playing works)

...Hey Franfan, do you know when Hermès "Le Jardin de Monsieur Li" will be in stores?

...How nice that you started a Lush topic. Welcome to the forum, Briarthorn!I didn't know that the UK site shipped overseas. What a pity you paid all those high ebay prices! I wasn't impressed by Dear John, by the way, but I did think that Weather Turning was really unique.The last few years I haven't checked Lush because I was into other fragrance genres. But could you tell me: what are your favourites from 2014 and 2013?

...And what's your favourite Dior, ScentFan?

...Thanks guys :)

...Let's use this thread to discuss any and all Dior subjects!Overrated?I'd like to start the discussion by asking you whether Dior fragrances are overrated or overpriced. I can think of two reasons why that is the case. Firstly, they reformulate/simplify their classics and still have the balls to sell it for prices like € 100. Example "Diorella", When I smelled the current version, I liked it but I smelled only two olfactory notes and no rich complexity. Secondly, they seem to heavily rely on new aromachemicals. To put it bluntly: they simply put a new chemical in a bottle, without making a real composition of notes like traditional perfumes. Example: "Higher"What do you think about Dior? Please also mention your favourite Dior fragrance. (mine is "Diorissimo")

...Still on a flower trip eh Pipette? :) It looks like it's chockful of good ingredients, and Neila Vermeire's fragrances all get good ratings. (On the other hand it looks too feminine and too expensive - for me at least)Which notes do you hope will be the dominant notes?It's funny how we can get all excited about new perfumes without any reviews or ratings :)Personally I have that with Hermès' new "Le Jardin de Monsieur Li". I can't wait to smell it!! Feel free to talk about that one, or speculate, in the Hermès thread.
