The Canadian Zoo - An Interview with Victor Wong
catalysts for the creation of my project. I actually felt a bit out of myself when I told him he was my idol in person. I think he felt a bit awkward, too when he heard that. How do you think would one of the animals respond to Zoologist’s interpretation of it? The natural odour of musks and stinks are very complex and I think a real beaver or civet would not find the synthetic...

Intuitively Obvious to the Casual Nose - White Florals
21 perfumes in this category--possibly more. Though each is different, it's their white floral accords that appeal—indolic Jasmine and Tuberose with orange blossom or Neroli, counterpointed by Hyacinth, Narcissus, and/or Lily-of-the-Valley. Mishandled, this latter trio can throw off an ungodly stink, but in the right hands they elevate.I don't think this realization would...

An Invitation to all Parfumo members ...
following the various rants about reformulation, IFRA and the difficulty of getting a parcel containing perfume mailed. Persuant to these issues I have created a Facebook profile under my nick 'Couture Guru' and invite you all to add me there so that I can direct you to a new project called 'That Stinks' ... for which a page AND a (currently open) Group exists. If you would like...

The post office stinks.
so maybe it doesn't stink as bad as it is over in the EU and UK; but it's still pretty bad. The one near me opened late today (30 minutes late), and they just recently removed all the priority mail flate rate boxes from the kiosks. You now have to go up to the counter and ask for one, so they pretty much see what you're...
