...Rebella:Oh, in that case swedish (and scandinavians in general I guess) are more like americans, then south europeans. Everything marketed as clean and fresh... between Nordic countries and Southern Europe is PALPABLE and used to give me headaches ;)Of course this is just my observation but I agree with Rebella, perfumistas' tastes don't seem that affected by local conventions.And to finish this off with a personal anecdote: I used to think "Shalimar Parfum...

...I haven´t said it before I want to thank both Triplex and Rebella for all the great samples I got from you girls...

...Right now I´m watching Downton Abbey and I like it.Before that it was True Blood and that was not really my kind, but not bad enough to stop watching.The Wire, really, really good, still miss some of the characters. :oops: Twin Peaks, high recognition factor for me and it been a while, but I would love to watch it again just to see what I think about it now.When I was really young (pre-teen) I cried my eyes out to: Rich man, poor man, Roots and The Hollocaust.

...I have tested a few from the original line up, Dead Sexy was the only one standing out among them IMO. Now I am waiting for some samples from the dark line, I let you knwo when I have tested them. :)

...ZeZe:Just a quick question for those who have decanted ..If an atomizer spray bottle is 5ml, does that mean you can actually fill 5ml of liquid while still leaving enough air in the bottle for the pump spray?Yes, I have measured. But I can only talk for the bottles I have use.

...Stereotyping hippies in my mind and comes up with; perfume oils, if the hippie is picky and wants a lot to chose from then I suggest a check around at Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. If the hippie in mind does have a little troubble about deciding and are a little more easy going I suggest to check out the mood lifting (not to serious) offerings at Smell Bent. Hippies that don´t like oils and are a little more high maintanance could go for some of the pleasant all natural perfume brands, taht would be very pleasing fot he save the earth kind of hippie I think. Or maybe the hippie want´s to support small, indie kind perfumers? Show him/her Ava Luxe, Neil Morris, Sonoma Scent Studio, Slumberhouse, Dawn Spencer Hurwitz (there are a lot of other indie brands out there, I just mention a few). If the hippie is more a high end boho chic kind of hippie with a good and balanced budget, I guess Nasomatto have some to offer or even Serge Lutens has that hippiechic aura according to me.

...Rebella:Finally "Tabac Blond" is on it´s way home. :D And I "accidently" order a bottle of Montale´s "Vanille Absolu" *ooooops*.Next in line should be... Guerlains "Spiritueuse Double Vanille". But I´m not only high maintanance, a bottle of Tokyo Milk´s Dead Sexy wouldn´t be that wrong either.Rebella, since you like Dead Sexy, I recommend also Pomme Poivre (from Margot Elena's Love & Toast line). Also a guilt-free pleasure... 8...

...Finally "Tabac Blond" is on it´s way home. :D And I "accidently" order a bottle of Montale´s "Vanille Absolu" *ooooops*.Next in line should be Farmacia Annunziatas "Ambra Nera" or if I can get it somehow Guerlains "Spiritueuse Double Vanille". But I´m not only high maintanance, a bottle of Tokyo Milk´s Dead Sexy wouldn´t be that wrong either.

...Designer: Thierry Mugler, Kenzo and Vivienne Westwood. Niche: Haha, all over the place really.

...Oh, in that case swedish (and scandinavians in general I guess) are more like americans, then south europeans. Everything marketed as clean and fresh is on the perfume toplist here. And not to mention all the different celebrity scents. So, fresh, clean, fruityfloral and with some celebrity name on it, it´s a total success here. :? In Sweden we don´t have much of a perfume tradition as in countries in southern europe, and middle east, india and so on. But, on the other hand swedes are very trendy and I think brands like swedish Byredo is popular among people without an actual perfume interest, but that wants to feel more unique then wearing the average drugstore brand. Comme des Garcons is also a little more known in sweden. I can´t say my american perfumista friends differs so much in taste from my european one´s or south american and so on.

...I have most of my samples in test tube racks, stored in alphabetical order in small drawers. The bottles I have in rotation I have on top of a bureau, the other one I keep in their boxes on a shelf in my "boudoir". Decants I keep in different wooden boxes with small glasses to make them stand up. Still I manage to have samples all over the place! I never seem to get them organized in the phase they´re coming. :PAnd what to do with all the boxes??? I love keeping them, cause when I re organize my collection I want to store the fragrances in their boxes and if i swap or sell the perfume is worth more if the box is still in good shape, but I don´t know what to do with them meanwhile? How do you do with the boxes?

...Nasomatto´s China White comes to my mind.

...I'm fluent in Swedish and English, I understand Norwegian and danish good in speaking and reading but don't speak it myself (as a lot of other Scandinavians). I understand basic German and speak/write very basic German. I can understand some French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Finish words/phrases.

...Rebella:I hope my next buy will be Caron´s Tabac Blond. :)Oh, I always wanted to try this one...is it only available at Caron or is it even out of...
