...Wow ScentFan - I love reading about your sniff fests and this one is exceptionally brilliant! What great descriptive writing and I enjoy so much the little snippets of insights into your life and memories relating to the perfumes - How wonderful that you two split and then decided to re-marry - that's just adorable, it bowls me over! After reading this there are definitely a couple that I will be getting hold of to sniff myself; the Naomi Goodsir and the sandalwood Creed for sure.Did you get a sample of Annette Neuffer's Tabac Santal for him to try, or is it not his thing? I got a lot of lavender from it on my first try - probably because I was not expecting it, but it dried down into a gorgeous, non-sweet, supple suede like leathery thing and I love it now.Happy sniffing and happy days :-*

...April and May are my favourite time of the year, I just love seeing everything coming alive again.I've been sampling Kamila Aubre's botanical perfumes and have been drawn to "pastoral" in the warm, windy and showery weather. It's a pungent and earthy herbal floral with a breeze running through it and lots of amazing rooty vetiver and rich, warm oakmoss in the base.We've had some unusually hot days too and I've been enjoying the rich honeyed linden and slightly waxy, pollen dusted mimosa in Annette Neuffers "Sonnet 18" so much - beautiful.

..."rose en noir" How much rose do you want because the rose dominates in this one, it's quite a dark rose with a bit of violet leaf and is accompanied by tobacco and black pepper, a little coriander and patchouli, I also detect a black assam tea note. Definitely unisex and I'd love to smell it on a man. It gets mixed reviews but I love it. Discontinued now but you can often find it on Ebay.

...Hello - I'm late to the party but hey - ScentFan - Thanks so much for sharing your impressions of the NadiaZ perfume with us. I've been very curious about them and eyeing her website for a while but have held off because of the high prices - some of those bottles and caps are serious works of art though!Fluxit - you may know this already :-) Regarding Olympic Orchids I just wanted to mention that the 100% naturals from the range are: Tropic of Capricorn, Kyphi and Dev Three.
