ZARA, the Thunder Feel, and the Metallic Spirit
Aura around the WearerThe bottle of Thunder Feel is like an evening sky during a storm with thunder, you can feel the storm smell, the lightning, and the thunder. As many reviewers already stated here and elsewhere, this cologne is closely akin to a past release named C0r4n0l (coranol), and I am glad to hear that because the last one was available on a small 50 ml size only.Thunder...

Perfumista to Perfumer - Rescued Trash
calculating ... at 600 drops per oz and 190 drops to make about 200 ml of perfume, that's um...202 large bottles of perfume?Well, it won't go to waste. It's starting to smell too good. I have a feeling more Amyris will end up in there and perhaps some Elemi, a few more florals? We'll see. Glad I didn't throw it out...

White beach sandals in winter?
on the shopping mile, I walked past a couple when the woman caught my attention swaying her hips with every step. She had loose hair enveloping her upperbody like a curtain and was clad in a tight, light beige knit tunic which rather resembled a homewear. Now, I usually don't really care or watch what other people are wearing or look like, except for people dressed in eye-catching colours or a (yet)...

I finally bought it...
shelf and left again.Later at home, I told my husband all about this little conundrum, and he said, "If it's really such an expensive perfume and marked down to JUST TWELVE DOLLARS, you're crazy for not snapping it up!!!"Duly noted. So, I went a third trip to Marshall's to make the purchase.I'm so glad I did! My daughter and I slathered the lotion on as soon as we got to the car, and it is delicious! I don't...

My first blog post
is pretty cool--my own place to write a blog! I can pretend that I am someone important, and that what I say matters! I'm pretty sure no one will read this, but I am glad I can write down my thoughts anyway! LOLI'm just an ordinary stay-at-home-mom who enjoys perfume. I am the only one amongst my friends and acquaintances who really has an affinity for scents and loves talking about them, so this blog can be my outlet!"Ointments...

The bubbly chronicles...
selling for about 2€ for a litre bottle, it doesn't smell cheap at all. On the contrary it smells very august, hinting that any male using it could only be of the kind related with the first letter of the Greek alphabet.So this is it. Debates are always good when they smell good, thus I'd be glad to see one being kickstarted. I'm going to prepare my bubbly version of a Saturday night special now, and I'm sure...

Cerebrating celebrity...
of new launches even by 20 year olds the likes of Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez? Is it just a matter of milking a very specific target group on which the big guns of marketing are zeroed in? When Alain Delon launched his first fragrance in 1980 you could smell it on high-school lads and grown-up gentlemen alike, for juveniles wanted to be like him and adults wanted to feel like him. Any age between...

Mind the (generation) gap...
felt obliged to segregate the perfume community in "très banalité" and (faux) "modernité". All while thinking that their irreverent attitude towards solid pieces of perfumery from bygone eras qualifies for drollery, and that forty-somethings' loyalty to them is something called archaeolatry.No lads and fillies! It's called respect, and it's not sold in Sephora and T.J.Maxx.P.S.: Apologies for the rather...

Cheap thrills and ritzy pleasures...
the fact that my niece is not a sweetie at all. Something that is always an extremely desirable factor for girls her age, even if they're made of serial-killer-to-be material. It was pink.Since pink is my favourite colour only when it comes to electric guitars and open '59 Cadillacs, I was quite glad that the next scent's earthy colours washed away all this bubblegummy holocaust and soothed...

The Dirty Dozen...
sake! And yes Clive Christian, you shameless copycat, I'm looking right at you now! Last but not least, I think it's also a great example of British spirit (pun intended), since its name derives from Eucharis which is a female given name in Greek, meaning graceful. Ha! Eucris graceful? Good one lads! Oh, and it's also allegedly the signature fragrance of James Bond. And this alone is enough to send the needle...

More lesser saints...
to remember, but it's lost in the echo of her steps. Maybe it was the reason why she's running. A perfect equilibrium of cold air and warm breaths, battling each other in a overshadowing forest.What will happen if instead putting powder on your nose, you put it inside it. Very beautiful lace-clad bottle, shaped not unlike an old grenade. Loaded with powder of course. It went unnoticed in its days, and today,...

am glad to announce that today, a major update of the Parfumo site went online.Parfumo has been adjusted to the so-called "responsive web design" which enables a much better use of Parfumo on small output devices such as smartphones and tablets.The major difference is that Parfumo is no longer displayed in...
