...With so much confusion surrounding this issue the faint-hearted will be deterred from posting.I recently had some dealings with a seller who refused to post from Melbourne to Sydney because she thought it was illegal and could not be persuaded otherwise. She kept reducing the buy-it-now price but refused to sell it to me because I couldn't pick up even though I'd have paid her top price - so frustrating :evil:

...No doubt about it, my ability to acquire the vintages on my wish list will be significantly impaired if postal restrictions are vigorously applied :cry:

...Just wondering how/if sample programs are being impacted by recent policy changes re mailing perfumes? Anyone know?

...For me it's a perfume that develops through stages that spells quality - a term I prefer over "expensive" given that nearly every fragrance sold in Australia is expensive!

...If Parfumo is now spoken of as 'the other place' can we assume it has arrived?

...Pipette:This morning the attitude and policy of Parfumo was published, after the storm was settled, to show us "the way". That is much better than simply deleting the topic as it has happened countless times in Fragrantica, leaving the crowd baffled, haplessly angry, and members quitting in disgust.I appreciate the attitude of Parfumo to let us know what the climate should be.P, when you talk about Parfumo publishing a policy are you referring to the way an issue was handled/resolved on the German site or did I miss something?

...I'm wearing an attar my friend bought back from Dubai. Have no idea what it is called, or who produced it, but it smells of francincense and roses. Love it.

...Strikes me that while members here are quiet on the forum they are busy writing reviews. Those reviews are important in bringing Parfumo substance and credibility. The forum will grow over time.Currently a lot of traffic on the Fragrantica board is generated by hit and run sexy scent posters and/or people posting images, youtube clips etc. It's easy to do the latter over there because all you have to do is copy and paste. Wish it were that simple here :(The other thing I would say is that many threads on F are kicked along by exchanges between two or three people. The recent thread re changes in Royal Mail policy had over 100 postings on F, and far fewer here - but most of the F posts had little substance and were really just bantering. That's F in a nutshell - more and more about social exchange and less and less about perfume. IMHO it's when the social function takes precedence that cliques and bullies emerge and things go pear-shaped. For me so far Parfumo has the balance right, it's just that the community is small right now :)

...One of the things I like is that parfumo is not beholden to advertisers/advertising.

...Silverfire:Wow. I never noticed this topic until Cryptic had posted to it. I'm a former Fragrantica user too. My experience is rather typical for me -- I never could figure out what proper etiquette was (rules were never enforced except when they were), so I just had fun. Too late, I found out that the admins didn't like fun. I also tried to help, volunteering in public, and in private multiple times, only to be ignored, and then personally attacked by an admin. After he threatened to ban me from the site, I went looking for other fragrance sites and found Parfumo. I rarely think about the site anymore -- too much angst involved.I'm also glad to find you here SF and amazed by your experience at the other place - though perhaps I shouldn't be :shock:
