I loved Macassar something fierce back in the day, and it's one of the discontinued fragrances that I miss the most. But how this dude found that I was in desperate need of some and eager to pay a fortune for it, completely...

Guess It's Time To Finally Think About Spring Perfumes...
It's not in the 30's anymore. Doesn't mean it still won't dip to the 30's, tho. I finally had to start thinking about switching perfumes. And that's difficult for me. I love my heavy orientals. And my chypres. My smoky scents. My thick powerful perfumes. And now Spring has sprung. I wore Miss Dior Cherie today and it almost gave me a headache. No, this isn't happening....

My miniatures

The golden colour is so reminiscent of the honey note in White Linen even though the bottle is quite plain. I have various vintage bottles of Miss Dior as it is one of the classics that I adore. This is my Esprit de Parfum miniature bottle. ... Dior as it is one of the classics that...

Chapeau's Perfumescope Part I: Water Signs
and might fall in love with an unlikely scent for the sake of its back story, Guerlain's Liu being a good example. Scorpios like to conquer and wear notoriously difficult, disagreeable and unpleasant accords and are often fond of the raspy "cigarette ash florals" with plenty of character, such as Miss Balmain, Gres Cabaret or ELdO Rossy de Palma, the latter two also nurturing the Scorpions'...

The New Arabians ...
feeling in this fragrance. This will never be groundbreaking, but is really nice as a 'grab and go'. Arabian Oud sometimes gets it really right and when they do the entire package is amazing, but when they get it wrong it becomes obvious that this is a relatively unorganised company with hit and miss quality control. If I had spent pre-sale prices on these three frags I would have been quite ticked off ... they...

Perfect for the town...

Some people may hesitate to post simply because they are not used to express themselves in written words, or because they are worried that their attempts might not keep up with the quality of those of other users.

Short article about Bud Parfums, Australia and interview with Howard Jarvis
a discovery!! While virtually travelling I found Bud Parfums in Australia. What does Miss Everybody (like me) know about Australia? Sheep, kangaroos, former convict colony of the British Empire, imported rabbits making life hard for everyone, Ayers Rock, wide very hot country on the other side of the globe, takes forever to get there, Kylie Minogue……...
