Hawthorn

...Perhaps one of my most favoured trees. I get a really strong impression of Hawthorn from Chanel Beige, the EdT.

Blind Buys - Are you a risk taker? Best + Worst Experiences

...Well not a blind buy, but bought from one testing, Womanity. Loved the sample, hated the bottle. I bought a bottle of Chanel Cristalle today and I'm still not sure about it.

Weekly Scent Discussion #6: Labels of Men vs Woman and you

...As a man with scents mainly marketed at Women, I can happily say that Shalimar can be worn very effectively by a man. (Hey Sean Connery supposedly wears Jicky!)I don't really like the smell of sage, lavender, rosemary, aquatic, or mint notes that are found in abundance in fragrances marketed towards men. Citrus based fragrances tend to be very fleeting, and I can't generally smell leather.I'll stick with flowers and spices ... :)

The end of a love affair-Scents that have lost their magic ?

...Ah, that would be a bit too skanky. Have I ever mentioned my Serge aversion?

The end of a love affair-Scents that have lost their magic ?

...I think I'd quite like to smell like a barnyard animal, but I generally like skanky things. I 'had' a bottle of Womanity, loved it from the sample, from the bottle it was utterly vile.Another odd thing, I revisit fragrances, I'm going greener and more floral for Spring. My heavy hitting orientals have (gasp), temporarily lost some of their appeal.

Scents From Hell - The Most Beautific Perfumes

...Yep, Eternity:The opening of Shalimar, and now I really like the stuff.But Carnal flower, oh dear, well at least now I know that coconut and Tuberose are not a winning combination for me.

I can't wear Lutens ... why oh why oh why????

...Oh Serge, why oh why can't I love you?I think that, in part, it may be some kind of reverse snobbery. I'll, somewhat reluctantly, spend money on an expensive Chanel but, mostly I like my fragrances on the reasonable side of pricing.I haven't got subtle tastes in fragrances, I tend to like them loud! I haven't got a very good sense of smell either, I mean, how many people can't smell leather fragrances?Best not to ask me about Bond No9 ... 8)

Which masculine scents can be worn by a woman?

...Ahem, I think any masculine fragrance can be worn by a woman. It depends on the woman. It's all marketing after all. Perhaps an interesting question is when do you think the marketing has got it wrong? :)

What fragrance group/s do you prefer ?

...Fragrances I like, well usually I like Orientals. Recently I have got a bit tired of Gourmands. I tend to like 'thick' scents, ones with a fair bit of Sillage, I think it is because I'm not very subtle.Having a bit of a thing for Floral Aldehydes at the moment, sorry :lol:
