...I have no problem fibbing about "perfumes = cosmetics, body creams" because the regulations are ridiculous.Just think that they are selling perfumes on board at the airplane to the passengers, and the plane carries loads of fuel, so if there were an explosion, it is not the flammable perfumes that make a difference.As long as fibbing is not immoral - nobody gets hurt - I have no problem whatsoever.

...PBullFriend:I'm a little hesitant because the people at my post office sometimes ask me what's in there and I've had a couple of packages refused. It's technically a big deal to lie to them, and not worth it to me.I sometime have a problem with telling a lie also. I try to make it half a lie :roll: Add a small notebook, book markers, hankies, small box with marbles or pebbles, (something else other then the perfume). The perfume somehow doesn't get mentioned.

...Pipette:You have to lie at the post office when you fill in the custom declaration sticker information. You say: Gift, cosmetics - body cream, value $10., no commercial value.NEVER, EVER STATE THAT YOU ARE SENDING PERFUME.We have discussed this at length here:http://www.parfumo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=884&highlight=Thanks, Pipette! Yes, I guess that's the way you do it. In our case (sending sth from Germany to the US) - you don't even have to fill in any declaration form. They just don't ask you anything.

...Gold:PBullFriend:Gold - I wish I could send you some samples, but I think it may be hard to send them to Germany from the US. Have you gotten samples from anyone in the US?Hi PBullFriend,sending samples to Germany is no problem at all, Pipette just send me some lovely decants. She also got my envelope fine... - :DYou have to lie at the post office when you fill in the custom declaration sticker information.

...to say, I had never heard of Franz Stuck! What an incredible artist! Also, I think the second accent in the word Péché changes the answer from "peach" to "sin" so when I found what turned out to be the answer I thought, "Wait... to "sin" so when I found what turned out to be the answer I thought, "Wait, 'Peach Cardinal?' That can't be right." I'll be back with a question in a bit...

...Thanks a lot! Very useful replies... I was wondering what the Jardin a Paris by Couturier would smell like, thank you so much PBullFriend. MiaVonTrost, I'll check out Péché Cardinal, thanks! Danke, Pipette, I got your link. Helpful. Comme toujours!

...have been stumbling across "Péché Cardinal" repeatedly and it seems to be a benchmark peach, mentioned in the same breath with Peau de Peche. Hence I am mentioning it here, even though it is rather pricy...

...m a sucker for peach-fragrances, my favourite being Peau de PECHE by Keiko Mecheri... unfortunately, it's rather pricey and I don't want to cash out 140 Euros for one...

...cocktail mixed drink for the merry crowd:1 bottle of dry red wine, 25 ml each tequila, brandy, rum and cointreau. Fresh diced apple, orange (pear, peach, watermelon, whatever), diced canned pineapple, ice. Mix all in a jug and serve by ladling into individual cups. Salud...

...sweet sweet memories Peaches....

...To this day I still remember the best compliment I ever got on a perfume. I was in third grade and my mom had sprayed me with Avons Charisma,which I adored, before school. The teacher knelt down, put her nose in my neck, and exclaimed "You always smell soo good!" I was very happy and it became important for me to wear perfume every day from then.

...Dlane1953:My first scent memory--not a brand fragrance memory per se--was old fashioned lilacs in our yard when I was two. The first scent I wore as a teen was Muguet de Bois, the cheap stuff, mind you, but nonetheless a sentimental favorite with me since it still reminds me of that state of innocence and anticipation that is part of being 15. I still love lily of the valley and wear Dior's in spring and summer.I wore Muguet de Bois in grade school and I still love it along with anything else that has Lily of the Valley. It was my signature scent for years untll Jessica McClintock came out. I think our earlier loves will always influence us.
