...Dlane1953:Here is "Harry Potter" all grown up and looking gorgeous. Bad boy!The ciggy looks photoshopped in. Not so bad boy ;)

...I have been ticked off. I made a reservation at a nice restaurant so my boyfriend and I could have a nice meal after a long workweek, and I came home after a 12-hour shift to hear him say, "Can we go on a night I don't work? I work harder than you". Boy, that hurts a lot.

...The Batman doesn't look too bad either! Mee-oww.

...Dolby:" Garden " :lol:What a beautiful euphemism.Dolby!! :oops: :lol:

...AromiErotici:Okay.......we can't be outdone here at parfumo.WHO.........is going to step up and BUY a perfume house???? :)Do the banks give out loans for such a venture? :idea:

...I don't even have the password. :\ I can't even remember my own password half the time.

...No worries. I assumed the line would probably be a UK exclusive for some time, if not always. Ah well!

...I emailed someone in their customer service, and she said that the company does ship fragrances to the U.S. The flat fee for shipping is 20 pounds no matter what you order, even if it's just the sample set. Eesh!

...I posted this question on Fragrantica too.My understanding is Jo Loves is a separate line of fragrances since Jo Malone sold her brand to a bigger company.I would like to sample Jo Loves. There is a set on her website, but it's about $61; plus VAT and shipping, the cost will $83. Is there a U.S. friendly site that has her samples?

...Dlane1953:I (we) have been searching for a good used car to buy---I thought the aggravation was over, we put a deposit on what looked like a "winner" last week. All was well until we sent the car to our trusted mechanic for examination. His report on this vehicle looked NOTHING like the report issued by the selling agency. Slap-down time! We backed out of the purchase and we're back to square one....Oh how I hate car hunting.I hate when that happens. Similar thing happened to my dad when he bought a Ford Probe. So many problems.Have you looked at Carmax? Some people are wary of it, I had a couple of family members get some good cars.

...Cryptic:If you have an account over at Fragrantica, please consider paying a visit to the swap topics. Digindirt (Coniferlover over there) and a few others are selling decants and holding bottle raffles to benefit Pansylady, who is also a Parfumo member and going through a difficult time right now. Thanks for reading!Thank you for mentioning this, Cryptic.The whole thing is pretty fun--there are prizes AND you get to help out a member in need. The main thread is a sticky in the Perfume Exchange forum.

...I personally haven't, but my sister was there a couple of years ago. A lot of of the shopping venues are westernized with the Demeter Fragrance Library and Sephora. She said it's like the Beverly Hills of China. I asked her to find fragrances for me too, and she couldn't come up with anything that wasn't already in the U.S.

...I used to buy perfumes for the bottle's looks alone...but I have found that to be a huge waste of money. I don't enjoy them as much if I tuck them away from light and warm areas. I have been happy using decants and samples lately.

...Hi Ryan! Welcome to the dark side...fragrances are super addicting. :D

...Sorceress:But on the up-side, I've finally had the opportunity to hold my first grand-child! What a little angel. He's so cute, but my daughter says I'm biased. Maybe. He really is so beautiful.Congratulations again on your grandson. Glad baby and mom are ok. :)

...Dulcemio:Hayven, it seems like the FWP sizes are almost never sold retail on their own. I've tried to track down some from other houses.I think it would behoove the high end houses to make small sizes available. We would pay the disproportinately high price for a 10 or 20 ml, get hooked, and then ultimately buy a regular bottle because we don't want to keep paying the higher price per ml. They need to think more like drug pushers. :lol:That would be practical, yes? Hahaha! I did read on an old Bsenotes thread that if you email the company, they can arrange such a deal. But no word back yet since I posted this topic. Hmmph.

...Sounds like an awful day to me, Flavorite. Yeesh! I think I wore Miss Dior Cherie, my special occasion perfume, when I was moving a couch and other items the other day. I was anticipating a nice luncheon, the couch moving was very spontaneous. :P

...Dlane1953:All I can say is "run, piglets, run!" They might be turned into an appetizer if they're too slow.Or my dinner!*gets on a scooter*
