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....

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 out there...

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...

candy, Turkish delight. Delight indeed. A soft powdery aura is a subtle and unobtrusive companion for the day, with little wafts here and there. "Jean-Louis Scherrer" is also reformulated but smells pretty much as then. My son said "something industrial" ... well, he perceives the bold odor, which could easily serve as a men's cologne. Bright and beautiful and lasting in the sweltering summer New York...

Not me, I was ripping mad. Get the services of young son ... please have a look. He did and we decided that maybe it was time to retire this old piece of machinery and get a new computer tower from Best Buy. Said, done. It arrives on Monday, and I may be absent with my humble pieces of perfume journalism during next week as the new unit gets set up. ... Change is good. Out with the old,...

you that it wasn't my fault. Really. I was surprised when my widowed mother allowed me to wear the ring in the first place, considering the amount of sentimental value it must’ve held for her. I bring up this sad ring story because I have never forgotten my mom’s reaction when I told her the ring was gone for good. I’ve drawn on that memory on several occasions throughout my life when the need arose....

and I mean really depressed. That's becoming such a struggle for me, because if I am to eliminate certain perfumes from my wardrobe, or use them less, I'm only left with 3-5 orientals and chypres which I'm an all time fan of. Here goes my list of sad perfumes (some of them really good which makes it all the more sad): Original Formula Avon Today Eden Classics Le Jardin Reformulated I guess...
