What flowers are blooming where you live?

...Greysolon:Japanese Honeysuckle has begun to bloom. On cool, damp nights you'd swear Olivia Giacobetti has come out with a new, watery floral fragrance. I just wish the vine wasn't so invasive.Do you get a long bloom season for this one?

sinus friendly fragrances?

...I've been thinking on this for some time. It's so strange. I wonder if there is some chemical that is used but not listed, a preservative or binder or something.

Weekly Scent Discussion #16: Classic Floral or Modern Sweet?
by Briarthorn | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre
...I, like you, have trouble with the sweet scents during the summer. I can't wear my Sweet Redemption in the summer for that very reason. I love complex scents with a lot of depth and I find that I get that complexity I want from the scents that are considered "dated". But on the flip side, Every so often I just wanna smell like a dessert. That's when I bust out my Choco Musk :)

Weekly Scent Discussion #16: Classic Floral or Modern Sweet?
by Briarthorn | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre
...So do you love Classic Florals, with all the powder, aldehydes, and soapiness that harken images of ages past or are you more for the modern sweet and sugary desserts and fruits that inspire many to eat delicious things?

...I wonder if it's Indoles that are bothering you. Jasmine does it to me many times. It could also be aldehydes. I have a friend that Aldehydes sends into a sneezing fit.

Weekly Scent Discussion #14: Strange notes, just a gimick?
by Briarthorn | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre
...There are just some really strange notes out there. Sometimes I'll see something listed in the note pyramid and I've got to ask "really? who wants to smell like that? Does that even have a smell?" Here are a few that really make me go "huh?"Just to name a few off the top of my head:Starfish (they have a smell?)Sea Shells (?)Goat Hair (what?!)Skunk Cabbage (who wants to smell like that?)Meat (umm?)Bacon (I want it to eat not wear)BBQ (no, just no)Surf Wax (this is a note, isn't it just wax?)Balsamic Vinegar (salad dressing? why?)Then there are all the strange and obscure plant and woods that some perfumers claim to use and the endless list of strange sweet confectionaries. Oh, and all the really weird things listed by BPAL. But that's a post all on it's own (ghostly mist and sadness? wha?).Do you think all these strange notes are neat and ground breaking or just gimmicks used to try and stand out but not actually offering anything interesting or wearable? Do you have some examples of an instance when something bizarre was noticeable and worked well? How about one where it was a train wreck?

Weekly Scent Discussion #13: No work, what are you wearing?
by Briarthorn | Perfumes & Brands
...So you have an entire week off work. What completely-not-office-okay scents are you going to revel in? You know the ones I'm talking about. We all have those bombs that suck all the air out of an elevator, and cause the person working next to you to wear an oxygen mask. The monsters that you love but know its cruel and unusual punishment to force others to endure it for eight hours. Those screamers that refuse to allow anyone in a close proximity to you for fear of completely burning out their scent of smell forever. Ya, those bad boys. So who are you going to pick for a week off?My List for this week:Tuesday: Tabu by Dana, VintageWenesday: Womanity by Thierry MuglerThursday: Lust by LushFriday: Taste of Heaven by By Kilian (not a monster, but my mother in law is sensitive)Saturday: Jungle l'Elephant by KenzoSunday: Review DayMonday: Review DayTuesday: Back to work :(If anyone has an idea for a "Weekly Scent Discussion" let me know. I'm always needing new ideas!
