...you Apicius to be so precise with your indication! I'll try to reach that website!!! :) I'd love to be appeictaed in Germany too!Thank you again fr your...

...LubyLudovica, for my country (Germany) I can say that your brand will get lots of attention if you make it into the lineup of www.ausliebezumduft.de a.k.a. First in Fragrance. They are the most complete online shop for niche perfume in Germany, and they are also well-known to an international audience.Other very recommendable niche perfumeries are- Beauty Affair in Düsseldorf- The Different Scent in Berlin- Essenza Nobile- Heike Ackermann in MainzI do not know the Italian niche market very well, but I have the impression that it may be worth to look for the attention of http://www.olfattomatto.it/ and http://www.extrait.it/There is also a perfume fair next month in Düsseldorf which might be a good place for networking: http://www.global-art-of-perfumery.com/

...Apicius:The notes of "Lú Uomo" look like it is a classic Italian cologne with lots of citruses. Maybe something for spring and summer...

...say "great minds think alike", but I know better than claiming to be half as great a fragrance mind as AromiEritici. Chapeau, monsieur. )I share Apicius' position that there probably are more masculines that women can successfully carry than those they cannot. And even with those masculines that are...

...Listen how this guy can play the blues!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtYwhPrgTMA

...Traditionally, you are supposed to have just one signature scent but a wardrobe full of shoes. For me, it is the opposite. I buy the same shoe model since many years but I own hundreds of perfumes!Should I call it my signature shoe? :)

...Tar: The house that can not get enough attention in my eyes is Fueguia 1833.I would love to test these. Hope I will have the chance eventually.

...Overhyped are:- Bond No.9Nice fragrances, nice flacons but the price tags aren't nice.- CreedExtremely boring gents' colognes with few exceptions. They discontinued their more interesting perfumes: "Orange Spice", "Vétiver"Maybe you can regard Guerlain as a hype king who deserves to be one. Especially the perfumes created by Jean-Paul Guerlain are top of the top. General rule: never pay more for a perfume than what Guerlain asks for their exclusive lines. You won't get any better!

...I have no idea about different boxes for vintage Kenzo pour Homme, but I agree that it's a pity that the old elaborate glass flacon was replaced by plastic. I still own the glass flacon but not the box. Sorry.

...I think most of all Le Mâle and its follow-ups contain an aromachemical compound that has no direct resemblance with any of the notes that you find in the pyramids. For me, the typical Le Mâle scent reminds me a lot of fuel.It would not be healthy to use gasoline as perfume, but I have read that this was popular in the 1920's. Men put a little bit of petrol on their hankerchiefs so the scent would identfy them as car owners.

...I once read that Obama actually wears the super-smoky "Intricate" by Boadicea but this may as well be a perfume legend.Before he became a politician, the German president Joachim Gauck was a protestant clergyman. If we count in the clichée that Protestantism in general is not very fond of sensual pleasures I guess he'd probably stick to whatever mainstream fragrance he got as a Christmas present. Maybe Terre d'Hermès?

...Apicius:The Parfumo search shows 10 perfumes with the fragrance note Asafoetida. Amazing!Wow! Now that is interesting...

...I guess you can say that I am a collector of bycicles.I have:- a KTM "Trento" trecking bike with a solid steel frame which I bought in 1993. - a so called "fitness bike" by Stevens from 2004- a Pocket Llama by Bike Friday - foldable, 20'' wheels and fully customized, bought in 2007- a Dahon Smoothhound from 2007 (20'' wheels)- a Moulton APB (20'' wheels, non-seperable space frame), bought recently 2nd hand, presumably 20 years old.I would like to have:- a racing bike with a titanium frame by www.nevi.it or www.kocmo.de- a classic Indian bike,- a Pashley Guv'nor - a Pedersen bike- a Moulton New Series Double Pylon, probably the most expensive bike in the world (15800 €). Why buy a car if you can have a bike for the same money?

...The German word for perfume is Parfum or Parfüm.

...Sleuth, do you prefer the night? Do you have a pale complexion and are your canine teeth a little bit longer than usual? Then Washington Tremlett's "Black Tie" is the geranium fragrance for you! ;)

...careful with the wine Apicius. :lol...

...I googled for information about grape varieties and got ads for medication against cirrhosis of the liver!

...happen. I smell something new and think..Oh, that's just like X and I don't buy it. Before when it was all new I bought perfumes I wouldn't buy now.Apicius:The good news is that once you have spent the value of a well-equipped VW Golf you start buying less. You realise that most of the new perfumes...
