...Triffid raises whether the air in a spray bottle that enters to fill the space vacated by the liquid is significantly deleterious to the 'fume. I doubt it...

...they should last me a while, but it's good to know there's no appreciable difference with the newer version. I may even lift the user ban on Mr Triffid, whose style is to borrow my perfumes and spray lavishly and often when he finds something to his liking...

...and unisex labeling, but you'll nonetheless see fragrances being rated as best suited for young/old, women/men based on the notes. As Dulcemio and Triffid have said, all of the above are subjective generalizations, to be taken with a grain of salt...

...I echo what Dulcemio said, Jumbotron; serious perfume lovers tend to eschew age and gender marketing in favour of what floats their personal boat. However, as your question relates to actual votes by members here on Parfumo, I'm guessing Cool Water has garnered 30% of the 'young' wedge of pie because that style of aquatic/calone heavy fragrance came into being in the 90s, which is relatively recent in perfume terms. The logic, therefore, is that you are more likely to smell this 'modern' style on someone born since it's creation as people tend to identify with perfumes from their own era. I don't necessarily agree but that's my theory. Incidentally, 30% young, and 16% old, leaves 54% ...(middling age perhaps?). If you like it wear it, I say! Worth noting that it's fun to play against type and wear the unexpected.

..."Geranium Bourbon" from MH is one of my favourite perfumes, a must-try if you enjoy lush rose and geranium, but it's the only one I've tried from this house (yes, it was a blind buy). Performance-wise, it has nice projection and longevity in the "acceptable" range. Not a great deal of development but I'm so smitten with the scent that I tend to forgive any shortcomings. I've been tempted to blind buy others, especially "Fleur du Matin" and "Terre de Bois", especially as I can buy them online in my own country for less than half retail price, but mixed reviews on performance have given me pause. On the plus side, the bottles are gorgeous and, like the Lutens bottles, come with the option to use as a spray or splash, very handy for decanting.

...I have just added "Acqua di Carthusia Geranio" by Carthusia to my collection. It's all about geranium with some citrus and spice. Worth sampling for geranium lovers

...I see the kilt appeal in that ad, Cryptic (ankle socks notwithstanding) but I think most of those blokes would look good in anything!Greysolon, I was thinking about kilts but searched fruitlessly for Scots or Scottish. Ended up pursuing headless horsemen instead.

...Triffid:Oh, surely that must be it, Pandasmom! Welcome back to the game.Pandasmom, as I was searching for the answer I saw that bottle and it didn't even...

...Oh, surely that must be it, Pandasmom! Welcome back to the game.

...I'm submitting this answer because I'm almost certain it's wrong."Sleepy Hollow" by Deep Midnight Perfumes?(Anagram solver? I didn't know there were such things. I write the letters in a circle and look for syllable patterns - I guess that's the equivalent of Writing text using quill and ink.)

...a little. ;) The beauty of Triffid's clue is that it would be impossible to figure out using an anagram solver because one word is English, another is Spanish and another is French...

...Is it an Amouage anagram?Ciel + Dia + Gold = A gilded coil:shock: Wow! Cryptic, you're psychic! :D And Triffid, nice puzzle! :lol...

...Welcome Briarthorn. Good to see you initiating and participating in forum discussions.

...Correct again, Cryptic!

...Oh dear, apologies. It should be gilded with one "l". I should have worn my glasses, I really thought there was only one. Sloppy work! From that question, I think you have the answer Greysolon?

...The following phrase contains the names of three perfumes from one house.A gillded coil

...Thanks Cryptic, moss and dust in that one, though seeing as I have the attic type scents covered, I thought something a bit more coniferous might complete the northern hemisphere Christmas illusion more convincingly: fake tree, fake snow, fake smell.As for the clue, as there are no takers I present this link to the original article about the "Axe" body spray phenomenon (sold as "Lynx" in my country)http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2013/10/axe_men_s_body_spray_what_happens_when_a_woman_wears_it_for_a_week.html

...Triffid:Cryptic, I have one of those "shrubby everlastings" in black. It's a seasonal thing. Smells like dust.Woo!http://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes...

...Cryptic, I have one of those "shrubby everlastings" in black. It's a seasonal thing. Smells like dust.As for the clue, that article was hilarious and painfully true. Let's see who works it out.

...Triffid:I don't think the gift they're referring to is a severed horse's head though, likely some German fairytale unknown to me.That sounds good to me, but...
