...Dark Matter mentions the fabulous In Black by Jesus Del Pozo. Yes! and its counterpart, In White has a following too. I don't know the others but this is a line that offers bang for the buck

...Omni:Dulcemio, I was misted in Eau de Vegas, Eau de Nicotine and Eau de Bourbon. Was fun to people watch. Perfume smelt quite cloying in the June heat... commented favourably or unfavourably because they burn off so quicklyOh the dessert, the lovely, oven-like dessert. You mean you don't love it, Omni, when the air you breath sucks the moisture out of every single thing it comes in contact with? Where body lotion is a joke? And where perfume is...

...Dulcemio, I was misted in Eau de Vegas, Eau de Nicotine and Eau de Bourbon. Was fun to people watch. Perfume smelt quite cloying in the June heat, testing was a challenge. I mostly wore Eau du Sud and Kelly Caleche EDT but nobody commented favourably or unfavourably because they burn off so quickly

...I ordered a bottle of Flora Nymphaea due to an online daily special. I am weak. It hasn't come yet but I will report on it. Katie Puckrik's review is flattering.As for Apres L'Ondee, it is proving very difficult to get and the price is skyrocketing.

rose orientals, please!
by Omni | Perfume Recommendations
...Dulcemio:Yes, Grey, "Noir de Noir" has a strong presence, doesn't it!However, it might be a little too smooth and rounded (too Tom Fordy?) to meet my criteria at the moment. I am dreaming of a luscious rose couched in some oriental richness, earthy, spicy, a tad sweet and a little rough around the edges.As MiaVon Trost (seconded by me) suggested do try the Rossy de Palma, my daughter loves it big time

...Dulcemio:Yesterday when I wore "Volutes" one of my work friends said I smelled like the lobby of the nice hotel that's across the street from our office.At first I was a little put off, but then I realized that the lobby in question smells fabulous.Yes, this is the feature of Apres L'Ondee that I am constantly amazed by. For a few years we owned an Arts and Crafts house, same vintage as the perfume and that is what it smelt like, nostalgia in a bottle, those wonderful scent memories, or are they inherited memories…

Your Perfume - How about a refill?
by Omni | Perfumes & Brands
...Having just had a perfume go off I wouldn't risk refillable, even though that's what I grew up with; tamperproof are here to stay. What would be interesting is a Soviet type packaging, all perfume sold in standardised bottles, making the fragrance the only real choice. Oh wait, there's a lovely blue moon with a cow jumping over it

Scents From Hell - The Most Beautific Perfumes
by Omni | Perfumes & Brands
...Dulcemio:"Opium""Tabu""Youth Dew"Skanky, dirty, sluts with a smoker's cough.Fascinating, but too badass for most people to wear with ease.Reviews of Euphorisme D'Opium are tempting. I haven't worn it since the original hit the scene but it was grand in that baroque way

...DieNase:What th f... my tablet just crahed after I had already written a lot. All gone...Well, I was saying that I'm more likely to get comments by close friends that know of my hobby. I don't tell everyone because I don't think normal people would understand the kind of time and money I spend. Sometimes I don't either. So it's kind of a secret obsession. One of them doesn't make comments because she has a poor olfaction. I mean she is the kind of person who applies four spritzes of coco edp and reapplies after 4 hours - at work (I've told her that she cannot do that).DieNase, this happened to me recently. I had just completed a review of Fancy NIghts and I posted it to Parfumo, where it promptly disappeared into the ether. Maybe it's on the German site, but, stupidly, I hadn't made a copy. One of those crazy things. Bravo, your secret obsession and BTW it's safe with me
