...Let's talk about bargains, and especially ones that you didn't get.I've been looking for a bargain on a nice cedarwood scent. I found a bottle of "Malaita" for just € 9 and it has a good review. I've been keeping an eye on that bargain for a few days. But just now, as I wanted to order it. It's gone!! I was too late!Did you ever miss out on a bargain because someone snatched it right before your nose?

...You've ALMOST got them all!Actually the "K" is from Karl Lagerfeld. It turns out he uses several logo's and apparently I used his old logo... Sorry for that. So for that reason I approve all your answers!I'm looking forward what game you come up with now.

...Judging a book by its cover...I´d guess she wears a perfume with flowers that´s a bit more bold than average. Or maybe something like "Sicily"

...Interesting. Congratulations with your own brand!Here is a word to perfumers and perfume professionals:http://www.parfumo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=916It might be of interest to you.

...I see what you mean, it's indeed a deep sea fragrance.

...Thanks, this is really useful!I had not expected that anyone would reply anymore :)

...To pose a different question..Why do you like Kenzo p. homme so much?

...@ WolfM : Nice suggestions! But how many hours of longevity do you get from Noble Cedar?

...Same game: Identify the 9 perfume houses based on their logos. Submit your answers when you think you have a completed list (i.e. not one answer at a time). Just click on the thumbnail to expand.

...Hey Cryptic, what fragrance is for you the 'hype-king', and which one is overhyped?

...Nice interview. Funny what he says about Francis Kurkdjian! :)

...Zumba.Bob Marley or Jimi Hendrix?

...@ Tar: And what is the ´hype-king' for you? A frag that deserves the hype?

...OVERHYPED: CreedOkay, they definitely smell good. But if a person pays € 150 he should get more than just "smell good". IMHO Chanel has the same quality for 1/3rd the price.HYPE-KING: many fragrances made by perfumer Annick Menardo deserve the hype.Examples:- "Bvlgari Black", with the famous rubber-like/plastic-like smell.- "Boss Bottled" (okay, not a hype but a favourite for many men -- and it deserves the good reputation)- "Hypnotic Poison" = a popular women's fragrance with almond. It's worth smelling.Menardo also made: "Potion" (weird amber) , "Body Kouros" (eucalyptus), "Au Masculin" (liquorice) and "La Collection Privée - Bois d'Argent"

...Hi MV,One other thought that occurred to me is that Le Mâle also contains some herbs and wood, and maybe those ingredients make the vanilla a bit more masculine.But I think your explanation makes more sense, thanks!

...hehehWell if you wonder about a batch code you could also search this blog:http://raidersofthelostscent.blogspot.nl/The blogger loves old bottles and often writes about different batches and reformulations, including numbers and pictures.

...Damn that sucks.You could try www.checkcosmetic.net , though I've never tried it.Well I've never been really ripped off. But I did get one bottle that got me doubting because it smelled differently from a decant that I received earlier.On which site did you get the dubious bottle of Calandre?

...laundry.Perfume that smells like food, or food that tastes like perfume?

...I don't know but you can always ask an independent perfumer like Kerosene or Andy Tauer.
