...Where is Dulcemio? That's right up her street. :)Something old and funky for me:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

...Stephen Fry. Even if he had never said anything else in his life, his bit about being offended makes him my hero.Newman and Woodward?orGeorge and Gracie?

..."Private Collection Amber Ylang Ylang"Now that it's discontinued and only rich people can afford the inflated eBay prices . . .If you have firsthand experience with this beauty, can you think of a good alternative?When my supply runs out, I think I'm gonna have a mini meltdown.I might not return to this (hopefully) thread right away, so thank you in advance for any and every response.

...Cryptic:I luff Cary Grant. He was an icon of masculine style, but Tom Hanks gets my vote on substance.Green beer or Irish whiskey?Beer, please.Wall art: traditional frame? Or unframed stretched canvas?

...PBullFriend! 'Supp?I'm almost jealous of myself, can't wait!As for politics, isn't it funny how personally we take something that is so impersonal? :DI am genetically liberal, working in a bastion of diehard consevativism with a tv in the lobby, perpetually tuned to news - alternately Fox and CNN - which inevitably sparks comment as we walk through. I say passive-aggressive stuff like, "Poor Trump, the GOP really hates his guts." :-)

...Cryptic:Glad you had such a positive experience, Dulce. I'm all in favor of sensible eating and a healthy lifestyle, but I sort of hate the use of the word "clean" in connection with food. It seems like some judgy person came up with that term in order to appeal to puritans or something. In my world of filth, food isn't "dirty" unless it fell on the floor and stayed there for over five seconds. Master Spanish.The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars or Let's Dance?Totally agree that "clean" is judgy. Not to mention subjective. Ziggy Stardust, no question. Quinessential Bowie. Iconic. Rock n Roll Suicide, Suffragette City, etc. "She said she had to squeeze it, but she, and then she .. " LOVE!***Olympics: Winter or Summer?

...sure envy you that trip, Dulcemio. They'd probably have to carry me and my nose out in a stretcher! Enjoy... They'd probably have to carry me and my nose out in a stretcher! Enjoy.Dulcemio:Scent Fan,Thank you for those great suggestions. I know you're on the right track, because I am familiar with all but two of those, and own a bottle...

...wonderful. I often order decants based on their suggestions. Volutes does remind me of a few by Serge Lutens I recently tested, though, and since Dulcemio asked for suggestions . . .Good grief. My response was addressed to a friend of mine who perhaps hasn't visited Scent Bar before and may not be...

...Cryptic:The funny girl is back!Cake please.Clean eating: an excellent idea or the latest dietary gimmick?No, YOU are! :-)Excellent idea. Did it fanatically for many years, looked and felt better, so no brainer for me.Make it mandatory for American school children to:Master the metric system?OrMaster Spanish?

...Scent Fan,Thank you for those great suggestions. I know you're on the right track, because I am familiar with all but two of those, and own a bottle of Chergui. Haha! :-)Cryptic,Your wonderful description has increased my anticipation tenfold. It sounds like a perfume addict's dream! Woot woot!

...Dulcemio. I just got a decant of Volutes in today. It reminds me of some of the Serge Lutens fragrances. He does a wonderful job with his honey-beeswax...

...Briarthorn:100 I like. I'm afraid having only one will eventually become tiresome and no longer a love.Cappuccino or latteOh lordy, I think you just accidentally made a case against monogamy! Haha! And I just realized the one album you love forsaking all others makes a decent metaphor for true love. Deep, huh? :-) (spelling edit - no such word as meaphor) :-)Anyway ... (Soy) Latte, definitely!Birthday cake?OrBirthday margarita?

...Cryptic:Hermès. ;)Kim Kardashian or Kanye West? (Death is not an option)Hahaha! Kim. Kanye is worse than death.A desert island iPod loaded with 100 albums you likeOrOnly one album you loooooove?

...I plan to be in LA in the Spring and will visit the Scent Bar. Based on the fact a couple of my staples are "Volutes (Eau de Toilette)" and "Ambre Precieux", what would you suggest I sample at the Bar?

...Richly sweet, but balanced, like original formula Samsara.On men, I like ones with just a hint of sweet spice. But warm and oriental all the way. I don't dig fresh and cool.

...you for the suggestions Dulcemio. I have been wearing some of my natural oils more like you suggested. I have found my violet oil and my rose water to be comforting. Thankfully this...

...Briarthorn:I'm currently 10 weeks pregnant with my third kid, and I haven't been able to bear wearing perfume for almost two weeks. It was giving me really bad headaches and even my light scents were overpowering with my new hyper sensitive sense of smell. :( I miss my smellz.How about something very subtle, like a natural oil AND, if you applied it to your back?Since determining that most of my regular perfumes make my sinuses mad, I've been applying a small amount only to my back. All day long it sort of gently follows me around.Also, I've found some very subtle, quality dupes sold by Face n Earth on amazon that don't bother me much at all. Also, Kuumba Made has some good ones, sold online and at Whole Foods.

...Congrats, Briarthorn!This makes me think of a moment on Modern Family when Claire is holding baby Joe, inhaling his scent, and tells Jay, "That's the stuff."
