...I really appreciate the replies. I look forward to more reviews on parfumo as well. Good or bad-I find reviews very helpful.I do have a "newbie" question. Is there a way for me to see member's likes and dislikes? I don't often have the opportunity to sample very often, so online reviews and preferences help me hone in on my targets.Keep the reviews coming :lol:Thank you!

...m still jealous of the US Chanelites who get to shop for this stuff online.Oh! I see now, a few of Les Exclusifs are offered as parfum too. C'mon DaisyDukes, don't you want a King Kong size bottle of Gardenia extrait for $3800??!! :lol: And what was it, $175 for 15 ml?The pur parfums weren't on...

...Sweetgrass:Dulcemio:Oh wait, I just realized you said "parfum version." I wasn't aware that Les Exclusifs came in anything but EDT.They do, at a price. I'm still jealous of the US Chanelites who get to shop for this stuff online.The issue for me is price as well as access. I really don't want to love something that is so expensive. I have only ordered from Chanel online for Beige and Cormandel. It's a long, boring story but they were for my mother, who ended up not wanting coromandel. It's a regifted bottle. It's amazingly blended and complex but I don't wear it often. I spoke with a woman who works for Chanel and raved about the pure perfume versions. The prices... Yikes... But I've spend tons of money on edt's and other perfumes ofer the past few years. She made me really wonder. I not asking about the almost $4,000 version. I never want to smell that one just to be on the safe side. So I'll try to ask my family to take a wee little detour so I can try the Les-Exclusifis.

...Any thoughts on "Les Exclusifs de Chanel - Gardénia (2007) (Eau de Toilette)@Chanel"? I would like some opinions on this one. I may be near a Chanel store in a few weeks and I'm trying to decide what I want to test. I really can only legitimately try 2 because my nose can't handle more at one time.Additionally if you own Gardenia, can you compare it to another scent? I don't mean a dupe- I just mean something with a similar feeling that perhaps I'm familiar with so I know what to expect.I am familiar with Coromandel and Beige. Does anyone know if you can test the parfum versions in the store?Thank you!

...I am wearing Chanel no 19. I only wanted to try it out of curiosity. . I'd never read reviews but just assumed I wouldn't like it.I'm loving it. Day two and I'm amazed at how good this one smells. Anyone else surprised today?

...Jojoba oil is wonderful for removing eye makeup.I also use it on my face. It doesn't clog pores like coconut oil can.

...Unfair treatment is offensive. No doubt about thatI hope to see lots more review here. . On a side note- so many of you have different names here- I almost changed mine...

...I missed the actual "controversial" posting on that other site but I suggested that maybe someone reported the sexual nature of the content and the admins reacted to those reports.I thought perhaps the powers that be were not intentionally being hurtful. From working with young children conflict resolution is a almost a compulsion for me. I also fight the urge regularly to tie stranger's shoelaces. Suddenly I was road kill surrounded by buzzards. It's mostly been removed. I just don't think that would happen because there is less traffic here. In my view some of what I experienced was misplaced anger. There certainly are mean people in the world but it became such a long thread that a few members piped in without all of the info. The whole thing made me sad. :shock:

...It was some type of rice casserole. I'm not really confident but I think it had ground beef? It was the saltiest dish I have ever eaten in my entire life. Salt was definitely a main ingredient- not a seasoning.My husband stopped at McDonalds on the way home. :D. I was really annoyed with him. I think most of us have made cooking mistakes. Knowing her as well as I do now, she just cooks with gobs of salt. It was quite intense.PS- I like my chicken dry.

...Oh Pipette- my husband has done the same. I will eat to be polite. He will not. We had dinner with friends and the food was horrible. He ate next to nothing and I gorged. I was kicking him under the table.She went to so much trouble but it was bad! Now we meet them out for dinner. :lol:

...FloraMilena:I remember spending a day up around the area in Pennsylvania, USA where the Amish people have farms. Some are pig farms. (Thus the piggy reference.) I will never forget the smell. Looks like this.....but the SMELL! I happened to come across this online and just had to share!I know this smell too well.Thankfully just dairy cows are near us. My husband will visit our Amish neighbor and I can smell cow barn on him like you wouldn't believe! Mushroom houses are pretty horrible too.Just thinking these Pennsylvania delights makes me want to go to Longwood Gardens to cancel out the negative.

...Chicken farm! Second only to hog farms.

...I'm new to this site and certainly excited to read the reviews. I wish more listed perfumes had reviews but I suppose that will come with time.I am a fan of the "negative" review. If something is unpleasant to you- I want to know what, why, and by how much? I TRUELY believe that we should all wear what WE like, but if I'm being honest I don't want other people to recoil in horror when they smell my perfume. I consider negative reviews to be helpful, like a PSA (public service announcement). I enjoy a good positive review, but I love the specific negative ones even more. Most people are mature enough to realize being different and liking different scents keeps life interesting. It would be so boring if we all wanted to smell the same.So thank you all for the reviews, and keep them coming please!
