...That is an excellent article I can use to get me started. I actually recognize some of the names, now I just need some luck. Thank you Cryptic for all you do.

...Thanks Olga, that's just what I needed, a little comic relief after working like a DAWG for the TWO days after Thanksgiving.

...I'm on a perfume diet too but that Underworld has a bad reputation for being good. :twisted:

...I don't know the Gemey but I'm sure that since you mentioned it I will be searching for it high and low. What fragrance group does it fit into. I'll try to find some photos online so I can recognize it if I see it the next time I hit the Antique Shops. The vintage bottles are eye candy for me as well. I just love the elegance and craftsmanship that was put into detail after detail. There are quite a few "Antique Rows" near me, I think I will do some hunting on my next day off.

...That is the ONLY reason I own the Bakir. It was a blind buy based on rarity. I kind of like the idea of having "old" stuff in my collection. I have always loved antiques of any kind, furniture, chandeliers, jewelry, perfume...

...@Seatonica, can you think of a specific fragrance that has been reformulated and you wish you could locate the vintage? I'm hoping to get exposure to other vintages that I don't know. I come across quite a few but am apprehensive about purchasing because I don't know the rarity, the quality, or the value.

...Digindirt:Sometimes I have decanting and shipping obligations too!I need a personal assistant!Ditto! :roll...

Tasted just as great as out of a fancy plate :lol: I still have a bunch of pots and pans to wash from all the cooking :evil:I work at least 10 hours 6 days a week. We then rush off to extracurricular activities or meetings etc. We get home around 9 pm every evening, I don't cook like I used to, fast food or microwaved dinner mostly except on Sunday. We have approximately 2 hours to do everything --!eat, shower, pack lunches, homework, set out clothing, sign permission slips, did I mention dishes?Sometimes I have decanting and shipping obligations too!I need a personal assistant!

...Digindirt:I am still a crazy, gotta try everything at once, perfume junkie. For now, I'll leave the rituals to the professionals while I douse myself from head...

...LiliumLibido:I'm a purist when it comes to testing: one scent three days in a row, period.I'm a little too immature Perfumista- wise to have this kind of discipline. One of these days when I am a lot more seasoned, I shall test with more accuracy. That day is not today. I am still a crazy, gotta try everything at once, perfume junkie. For now, I'll leave the rituals to the professionals while I douse myself from head to toe in everything in sight!

...Digindirt, as a fellow vintage-lover you are a woman after my own heart. Why do I love vintages? Well, in a broad sense my love for, and collection of, vintage...

...I swapped out my vintage Joy because it just was not my cup of tea. I saw another bottle being offered almost immediately after and pounced on it. Swappers remorse is a killer for me. Recently I re-tested the Joy and BAM! I love it. I have no idea what happened but its a keeper for me now.I just like the idea of having rare and hard to find items in my collection. My Abishag and Bakir are the rarest I own I believe.

...Digindirt:I would love to know more about vintages and what makes them special. Is it the ingredients, the era it was from, a special time in your life...
