Big Jasmine, Where Art Thou?
...Well this topic sure deserves a revival. I’m a huge huge fan of white florals, and jasmin in particular. From delicate green to obnoxiously loud. As long as jasmin is the star player, I love it. A few of my favorites:Jasmin et CigaretteJasmin et Cigarette is simply brilliant. Indolic and somewhat on the animalic side. Lust / Lady Flower (Perfume)Lust Perfume this one is a lot of fun, a party in itself. Indolic not animalic. Big and incredibly loudJasminJasmin dark brown and masculine. Heavy on spice and muskJasmin (2020)Jasmin (2020) somber and serious jasmin topped up with cuminJoy (Eau de Parfum)Joy Eau de Parfum jasmin on civet. One of my alltime favorites, modern version is more lily of the valley than jasmin, thoughJasmine OD / Bubblegum ChicJasmine OD focuses on the sweet and fruity aspects, with a tacky bubblegum impression at firstHoping to get my hands on soon:À la nuitÀ la nuit SarrasinsSarrasins love to hear all your suggestions, guys

New Guerlain releases Yay or Nay
by Kurai | Perfume Discussions
...From my point of view, this marketing overhaul comes a bit premature. I was just starting to get familiar with the L'art bottles, which are timeless art pieces. Same goes for the beehive bottles and the wooden Frenchy bottles. Only the élixirs bottles, I never liked those. Anyway.. Judging from the recent entries in the Parfumo database, the glasswork looks solid heavy quality. Not bad! I just hope that cap isn't too plastic-y. It is so BIG!

Online perfume shops in Europe?
by Kurai | Perfumes & Brands
...Hi, I order nearly all my perfumes from online shops. Both bottles and samples.For designers I can recommend Notino.comNiches I order at NL based Parfumaria.com I have had bad experiences with FragranceX. Extremely slow shipping and awful customer care. Avoid at all time, I’d say.

Do you keep backups?
by Kurai | Perfumes & Brands
...Ah yes the fear of running out, even though we have dozens or even hundreds of bottles already. More than we will ever be able to finish. Typical hoarder behavior, of course. But still, that particular one must be in stock at all cost 😅 or two or three just to be sure 😅In my case, that is Habit Rouge, Mitsouko, Egoiste, Kouros, Aramis classic and Lalique’s Hommage a l’homme. The list is still growing 😆

Why Is This Site So Quiet?
by Kurai | Parfumo Community
...MeetjoeblackControversy:If we want this community to be more sparkling then support the reviews, statements and photo's by giving them an award , reply , ask..make it more alive!100% Agree. It would also be great if we know who the likes and follows were coming from, similar to just about any other internet forum. I would love to know who my likers and followers are, so that I can be sure to go to their content and return the favor, but right now there is no way to do that. The anonymity, I feel, is discouraging engagement. Imagine sending someone a Christmas card, and the recipient only being able to know that they received a card, but never who sent it. How many people would take the time to write that card?This exactly.

Little help. Legit Guerlain pour homme?
by Kurai | Perfume Discussions
...Hi JFP ,The bottles look exactly like mine, I have bought them all in 2020. The color of the juice inside is more or less the same. May look slightly different due to the lighting. The fact that there's no box or cap could be because it was a tester bottle. The removal of batch codes is something you see more often on the grey market.Questionable yes, but I guess no immediate red flags. I'd advice to buy only if the seller has a decent reputation.

How much is too much?
by Kurai | Perfume Discussions
...Typically one on the wrist and one in the neck. Even less with the stronger perfumes.In my opinion, heavy sillage doesn't make you smell better, in the same sense that thick layers of make-up don't make you look prettier. 'overspray' is 'overkill'

Greetings from the Netherlands
...Hi guys, Happy new year to all!I picked up this perfume sniffing hobby since I'm confined at home most of the time. At least one positive thing that came from this Corona situation, right? Recently I made the move from another online community to Parfumo here and I like it! Although it can be a bit quiet sometimes ✌️

...It's funny how this topic was started eight years ago and still applies to today. Or actually it's sad, oh well..I also made the move after observing all the negativity towards community members.
