...Thanks, I'll try it when I see it!

...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)

...be it, Pandasmom! Welcome back to the game.Pandasmom, as I was searching for the answer I saw that bottle and it didn't even register! Excellent sleuthing! And what angle was I working on? A perfume based on Macbeth... :roll: :lol...

...Sleuth:The Police..The Conjuring or Chappie ?Sleuth, to be honest I had to look up the synopses of these movies. Not my usual fare. But the choice was made easier when I read The Conjuring...

...and divinely weird and it works great on my skin. I should do a proper review of it sometime soon. I think this may be right up your alley , Sleuth....

...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!

...Sleuth, I am unfortunately not super familiar with many of the powerhouses for men. I grew up in a house of woman when those scents were popular. However...

...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?

...you got it with an apology to you and Sleuth. I assumed that everyone would get "The aroma is scary" from the line "Bowl of cherries" which, I didn't realize, is a decidedly American saying...

...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).
