...How unfortunate! I found a bottle on FragranceNet* and I'm fighting the urge to buy it. I love just about anything vanilla based so it sounds like it could be a good one to have. I digress.I don't know why some perfumes get attention while others fade into obscurity, or in this case, are born into obscurity. I was wearing "Bronze (Eau de Parfum)" by Ellen Tracy a few days ago. I decided to read some of the reviews for it and found the reviewers pondering how this gem was relegated to the clearance bins of TJ Maxx and Ross. Still, it was saved from total obscurity, unlike AV Desire or Oscar de la Renta's Something Gold, one I've had my eye on._______________________*No affiliation, I just have a terrible habit of handing over my hard earned cash to them.

Re: parfum used
...mine is just a request for opinion. I see prices of perfumes used in very other sprays to be used. Thank you/quote]I hope others sound off on their opinions too. I'm curious! I've been able to own some pricey perfumes thanks to used bottles on eBay. I've had great experiences with used perfumes; the perfumes were in excellent condition by the time they got to me.

...Would you mind clarifying? Are you looking to sell your used perfumes or are you looking to buy used perfumes? I have no qualms about buying or selling used perfumes. I don't buy or sell perfumes that have had skin contact, like rollerballs and dauber bottles. I think that's risky. But spray bottles? I think in either case, you're good.If I haven't answered your question, please clarify. Good luck!

boozy Layton
by Exciter76 | Perfume Recommendations
...I've not tried "Layton" but you said rum, so "Les Élixirs Charnels - Gourmand Coquin" came to mind. It's a very rummy dark chocolate rose scent but don't fear, it is unisex to my nose. It's a big love for me! (Now I really want to try "Layton".)

Need help for a women’s fragrance gift!
by Exciter76 | Perfume Recommendations
...I'm of a rare school of thought--perfumes make thoughtful and lovely gifts. Some of my most cherished perfumes came to me as unsolicited gifts. I think the only requirement should be the amount of thought you put into picking your gift.I am going to assume she is a Leo? They are some of the most exciting and bold people I've ever met! I think her perfume should reflect that, while also keeping her preferences in mind. GreMuser provided an excellent list and I wholeheartedly agree with every suggestion made. I'd like to throw in a few more, even though they fall outside of your designer list:☆ "Idôle" by Lancôme☆ "Honeysuckle & Jasmine" by Jo Malone☆ "Idylle (Eau de Parfum)" by Guerlain☆ "N°19 (Eau de Toilette)" by Chanel☆ "Chance (Eau de Parfum)" by Chanel

Re: mid 60's woman, looking for a new signature scent.
by Exciter76 | Perfume Recommendations
...Ah, yes, a time before COVID... I'm feeling nostalgic already!I know "No. 02 - L'Air du Désert Marocain (Eau de Toilette Intense)" has its fans and foes. I happen to love it to bits but I know cumin (the sweaty b.o. smelling spice) isn't for everyone. It takes me back to my childhood, when I went to an elementary school in Los Angeles with a large Armenian population. The mothers were always so glamorously dressed, their makeup was flawless, and they smelled so exquisite. They were the embodiment of bold femininity and beauty. LADDM reminds me of the perfumes they wore back in the early 1980s. It's strangely modern and nostalgic at once. Definitely give it a try before you buy.Ha! I thought I was the only one who took pleasure in smelling new tires! You might want to check out "Bvlgari Black", which is the best set of new rubber tires in the most intriguing way. The leather and tea give it a smooth rubbery scent. It's an odd one that has to be experienced.

...Mazel Tov! A confident woman who has great taste! I applaud anyone who confidently wears what they like. I've had my opinions about certain perfumes change based on the resolute wearing of said perfumes. Body chemistry plays a big role in how scent is perceived. I'd say situational wearing plays a role, too; a lighter spritz or a softer scent would be appropriate for office/religious institutional settings but a more liberal hand when partaking in social settings and date nights. Other than that, do what feels good for YOU! :)Check these out:"Cinéma (Eau de Parfum)" by YSL"Youth Dew Amber Nude" by Estee Lauder/Tom Ford"Noir pour Femme" by Tom Ford"Coco (Eau de Parfum)" by Chanel"Cool Water Woman" by Davidoff"Shi" by Alfred Sung"Green Tea Lotus" by Elizabeth Arden"Grand Amour" by Goutal"No. 02 - L'Air du Désert Marocain (Eau de Toilette Intense)" by Tauer Perfumes"L'Agent (Eau de Parfum)" by Agent Provocateur

Cheap Men's Teenager Fragnance
by Exciter76 | Perfume Recommendations
...I'm so sorry about that. I should've asked that first. I clarified your search in your topic's title. I hope that's okay. I'd still check out Yves Rocher, Avon (assuming you have access to Avon scents), indie brands and various celebrity scents. Kyse Perfumes are unisex and delightfully unique so I still stand by them. Be sure to check out Olympic Orchids too. I think they ship internationally but double check that. They have loads of wonderful woody scents, if that's your thing.

Rose and Incense
by Exciter76 | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre
...Iseabail:I hated Incense Rose. It lacks refinement in my opinion. I found it very oppressive.I know Tauers can be very polarizing. There's something very nostalgic about Tauers for me. That heavy handed approach appeals to me but it can overwhelm, too. I have to be cognizant of my surroundings if I wear my Tauers outside of the house.

Cleaning Travel Sprays
by Exciter76 | Perfumes & Brands
...I've been there...A dear perfume swapping friend sent me a 15ml decant of a perfume I was anxious to try. It was a very sweet gesture but I ended up disliking the perfume, but the decant bottle was worth keeping. I moved the unwanted perfume to smaller glass travel atomizers and gave those away. I cleaned, scrubbed, soaked, bleached, et cetera that larger decant bottle but I could not get rid of the previous perfume's smell. I had to accept that the bottle was a loss.I'd love to hear if anyone has had any success but, in my case, it was a loss.

Modern Dirty-florals with a vintage flair
by Exciter76 | Perfume Recommendations
...I know you mentioned a fondness for Miller Harris. Have you tried "L'Air de Rien"? I wanted to like it but I found it too dank, due to the heavy oakmoss on my skin. It had the same vibe as "Agent Provocateur" but creamier (vanilla).Vintage (and vintage-inspired) florals I've been enjoying:→♦ Ralph Lauren "Safari"→♦ Jean-Louis Scherrer "Jean-Louis Scherrer (Eau de Toilette)"→♦ Bond No. 9 "Madison Soirée"→♦ Jean Desprez "Bal à Versailles (Eau de Toilette)"→♦ Rochas "Madame Rochas (1989) (Eau de Parfum)"

Summer date fragrance suggestions
by Exciter76 | Perfume Recommendations
...It's hard to suggest anything when you have no wardrobe (**hint, hint**). Personally, I love smelling something citrusy on a man in the summer. Maybe something like Molinard's "Double Fraîcheur"?

What are your favorite Caron scents?
by Exciter76 | Perfumes & Brands
Re: What are your favorite Caron scents?
...SilverStache:Last year, it was found out that they were discontinuing many perfumes from this illustrious house such as Nuit de Noel, Farnesiana, Tabac Blond, Poivre, etc... literally the whole line of classics. Very disconcerting knowledge to say the least....Well, please let us know what are you favorites!That's absolutely heartbreaking! I thought I read somewhere that William Fraysse, house perfumer Richard Fraysse's son, was bringing back the classics. Then again, that might be wishful thinking on my part.My favorites: · "Violette Précieuse"· "Pour Un Homme de Caron"· "Aimez-Moi", "Bellodgia"· "Pour Une Femme de Caron"· "Muguet du Bonheur"· "Parfum Sacré"· "Nocturnes"

Smell-alike Fossil 1954 Women
by Exciter76 | Perfume Recommendations
...I went over to the page for "Fossil 1954 for Women" and a user claims that "Dior Addict Eau Fraîche (2014)" smells similar. (Btw, I just read your review for Fossil 1954--it sounds lovely and it's shameful it was discontinued.) I'm sorry I'm not familiar with this particular scent but I hope that helps in your search! :)
