How much time do you take before you post a review?
by Kurai | Perfumes & Brands
...Perfumes are all about leaving a 'first impression', so I think it is perfectly fine to put those in writing. I don't see why you should wait until your nose has fully adapted to the fragrance and all those surprises of the first wear are long lost.Also I think there is not one review that grasps the fragrance in all its aspects as every opinion is completely subjective. It is the variety of impressions and experiences of different people that provides the most insight. So please just jot down whatever impression the perfume gives you and never delete a review again :)

Perfume tracker-New here
by Kurai | Parfumo Community
...Hi @Davomco and welcome to Parfumo! Indeed the tracker is very useful. You can find it when you open the Assistant menu. I'll add a screen shot of where to find that.The tracker does require input from your side before it is useful. That means that you need to add perfumes to your collection and tag them as "wearing today" on a regular basis. I'll add another screen shot for that.Have fun! ✌

An episode on the fragrance journey
by Kurai | Perfume Discussions
...My journey has also had a few dull moments. That changed when I stopped randomly trying whatever came on my path. By giving some direction to my journey I kept trying perfumes that were relevant to me. In between I changed direction now and then because of what I tested and they opened my eyes to something new. So I focused on specific perfumers, genres fit to my taste (greens, animalics, florals, chypres) or more occasion-based selections (formal wear, office-appropriate).Of all perfumes I test I think around 20-25% becomes a purchase. Most of them I sell later on to rotate my collection and to keep it a manageable size. I did end up with a collection that is growing more and more meaningful to me.

Do you store your frag in the box?
by Kurai | Perfume Discussions
...Hi there, I keep most of my boxes too. The really precious ones I store in their box. But yeah, when the bottle is pretty, it deserves to be seen! Another reason why I keep the boxes is because I might sell some of my perfumes after a while - to unclutter my collection. I assume buyers prefer perfumes in their original box; at least I would.

...Violaodorata@ Meetjoeblack: Now I have found out, that we need HELP. Tagging the Yves Saint Laurent Y fragrances!🤩The same Problem with Yves Saint Laurent Nu fragrances.@ Kurai: Can you help? Or do we need DonVanVliet? Hi I agree it can be tricky to tag the perfumes with shorter or very common names. It helps to add specific details to your tag search, such as release year and concentration. Here's a few YSL perfumes and how I tagged them:Y (2017) (Eau de Toilette)Y (2017) Eau de Toilette - # Yves Y 2017Y (2011) (Eau de Toilette)Y (2011) Eau de Toilette - # Yves Y 2011 toiY (Eau de Parfum Intense)Y Eau de Parfum Intense - # Yves Y intenseY Le ParfumY Le Parfum - # Yves 2021 (multiple returns, but Le Parfum is in the list)Nu (2011) (Eau de Parfum)Nu (2011) Eau de Parfum - # Yves Nu 2011Nu (Eau de Toilette)Nu Eau de Toilette - # Yves Nu 2002

...MeetjoeblackHi all, quick question:How to we tag / mention others in reviews and forum posts? The "@" symbol does not seem to work here the same way as other online platforms for this purpose.Hi @Meetjoeblack Actually, the @ symbol should do the trick. As soon as you type @ and a few first letters, a drop-down menu should appear where you can select the person's name.This works in the forum section for sure. In reviews I haven't tested it.

Why my perfectly fine photos being rejected
by Kurai | Parfumo Community
...Okay I am going to close this thread. Not only is this getting off-topic, there is no longer a discussion taking place. I do recognize the frustration is not yet fully resolved, but the forum is a place for discussing perfume related topics, not for handling complaints. @Nidodelia I will contact you by DM to see if I can be of any help. If anyone would like to make a complaint, please reach out by DM to me or any other mod. Alternatively, you can use the complaint form I referred to earlier.

Why my perfectly fine photos being rejected
by Kurai | Parfumo Community
...Hi everyone, Let me repeat that I fully agree with @Lempi 's suggestion to accompany a photo rejection with a brief explanation or a reference to which rule was broken. I will keep this in mind while I do moderation myself as well as forward the suggestion.Regarding the individual upload bans, I cannot comment because it is outside of my control/influence. If you feel you are wrongfully treated, I suggest to use the complaint form in this case. That may be a more effective way than the open forum to settle the dispute.The comment by @Nidodelia about being harassed shocks me because such behavior is simply unacceptable and should be reported. The community rules are very clear about this.As a mod I can try to mediate or -in the case of harassment- I can take measures even though my resources are limited. In any case, please feel free to reach out.

...Lempi Is here some place where we regular users can post suggestions to improve Parfumo? Like a general thread for all little suggestions and discussing about them, or should we always create a new thread for each separate suggestion? Or should we PM the admins directly?Hi @Lempi, Suggestions to improve Parfumo are always welcome! Feel free to create a new thread for suggestions in the Technical Support & Feedback section.Cheers ✌

...Lempi You could number the rules, and every time when a moderator rejects a submitted photo, they would just click which rule it was breaking. All photographers would get a notification for example "your photo was rejected because of the rule number 6". Then the photographer would get a hint of the reason for the rejection. Hi @Lempi, I quoted just a small piece of your post because I think it is easy to overlook in the amount of text while it sounds like a useful suggestion. Other than that, I can fully understand the frustration of getting rejected after some effort but I cannot help you with why these particular photos got rejected. I do want this thread to stay on the topic of  "help as a new user" rather than to turn into a discussion about the photo rules. Your point is perfectly valid, by the way, and the thread that you were referring to initially seems like the right place to continue that discussion.

Please help!! Real or FAKE?
by Kurai | Perfume Discussions
...The labels have correct double lining and they are glossy and matte where they should be. The inner tube has that thicker piece near the top. The bottle’s bottom should be fairly flat like a pancake, not too curved on the inside. Hard to say from these photos’ angles, but I’m leaning towards legit.Buying second hand for a too good a deal may be a red flag, though.

...LempiAre there glitches in tagging certain fragrances? For example, I can't tag some Terres Dorées fragrances like Fleurs d'Oranger, Épicène or Vétiver. No matter which way I try to write the name after the hashtag, it doesn't show up. Is it only me, is someone else able to tag these? I'm using an Android smartphone via Chrome browser.Hi @Lempi The tagging function kind of works like a search function. So when the name is a super-common term like vetiver, l'eau, oranger and so on, they're getting harder to select. Adding some letters of the brand name or the year of release helps. Using the correct punctuation marks é / è also helps.Below the phrases that I typed to get your fragrances pop up in the tagging menu:VétiverVétiver - vétiver dorFleurs d'OrangerFleurs d'Oranger - fleurs doreÉpicèneÉpicène - dorees épi

État libre d'orange - favorites across brand?
by Kurai | Perfumes & Brands
...Nice! I have tried some of their perfumes and they're never boring, that's for sure. Unique, artistic and sometimes just plain weird, but always a lot of fun to try them out. A few that I can recommend:Archives 69Archives 69 a weird combination of plum and a tingling camphorJasmin et CigaretteJasmin et Cigarette which is a really great indolic jasmin, no cigarettesLike This / Like This - Tilda SwintonLike This like you said it's fun and wearableRienRien a totally different take on leather. rough and incense-yFat ElectricianFat Electrician nutty-creamy vetiver. I found it gross, but everyone else seems to love itand what a pity that Fils de Dieu du Riz et des Agrumes / Philippine HouseboyFils de Dieu du Riz et des Agrumes is not among your samples. It is worth to keep looking for it, if you ask me!
