combine scents. And no one on the face of this earth can smell like you. A woman must have classic fragrances, office fragrances, sultry fragrances, morning fragrances, evening fragrances, and modern fragrances. A sample from my own collection: 1. Classic-a bottle of Chanel No.5 is a good bet, even if you think you don’t like the smell. Initially, I wondered why this perfume was so famous considering how awful...

With winter in full swing, one pleasurable aspect of the cold for me is to be able to wear shawls every day. Cashmere, silk, wool, even rayon shawls feel comforting and beautiful. They can be worn simply for a work look, or more sophisticated, for an evening out. Wrapping a shawl is a ritual which every woman performs according to her own wishes...

What does gold smell like? Is it a metal smell, or is it a dripping warm scent, like gold’s original hue? Many perfumes imitate sounds, lands, feelings and memories. But is there any perfume that brings to mind pure, 22 karat... smell like? Is it a metal smell, or is it a dripping warm scent, like gold’s original hue? Many perfumes imitate sounds, lands, feelings and memories. But is there any perfume...

a few minutes of a blocked nose, you begin to appreciate the earthy qualities of patchouli. The smokiness is tempered by a light whiteness, like a patent leather trim on a buttery-leather handbag. Eventually, the deep earth gives way to a slight rosiness, a sweet powdery note. Comforting like an old leather-covered book. A few hours after applying White Patchouli, the flavor really comes out: creaminess,...

The Infidels is a perfume by the Scandinavian brand Agonist. It is created to nestle in an artisan glass bottle of great price. But the important aspect of this perfume is the actual smell, not the presentation. So called “cold” scents have been popping up recently. One of the original cold scents is Chanel No. 5, though with its other notes, the coldness is not pronounced... scents is Chanel No. 5, though...

intoxicating scent can transform a room into a prayer chamber of sheltered privacy. Applied to the body, scent travels to all the hidden tense points and opens the mind up to receive tranquility. Incense is one type of perfume that immediately changes the atmosphere of a room. A little good quality incense goes a long way. Incense should not fill a room, obstructing normal breathing, but should...

of oud. According to my experience, the synthetic oud bases that by now are supposedly used in most oud perfumes have nothing to do with natural oud oil. U.M. Karali: But you don't have to fall back on synthetic substitutes. It only gets too expensive for most customers if you use very old oud. There is another way. For my perfume „Oud Al Ebrar" I use oud from 7 different regions....

good ingredients blended by master perfumers. My progression now leaves me with fewer designer scents than ever before purely because i cant fulfill my olfactive needs with them, but there are a few exceptions for example Dior Homme and Homme Intense, Laliques Encre Noire, Scent Story 24 Gold and Guerlains L'instant Extreme. These could all easily hold there own against any niche fragrance...

from that payment clue, you can then put that information into the Google Search and find the person who is sometimes on Facebook with amazing details. Clearly that helps. There is no hiding anymore. Besides that background information, there is still no guaranty about the product sold. Well, let's just hope that the small bottle of Guerlain's "Aqua Allegoria Ylang & Vanille" I ordered from a lady is in good...

I would not suffer now. Generally speaking, in today's market, with the abundance of offerings, smaller sizes sell. The risk is less. That's my point. ********************************** Update - a few hours after this writing, the ROSE Flash is sold out already. Wow. Perhaps it was priced too low. Amazing...

both. So, what I sniffed was an aroma full of soft flowers, with some depth but not the special aroma of yesteryear. Further, there was a hint of oil, an ugly oil, like a puddle of something that has been standing for a while. I did not utter the usual words when I have in my hand a really good buy, "now THAT'S a nice perfume" ... I was just tempted to wash it off and get rid of it. And it was mailed back...

products. Their noses have been educated and they are willing to pay the price. But the niche crowd is not large and grows mostly by word-of-mouth recommendations, on Forums such like this, and even then, how much can one buy, store and truly appreciate. I am willing to pay good money for a good niche product, but not often...
