...Triffid, Incense Rosé has been on my wish list since I first sampled it. Your recommendation hits the mark for me!And thanks also to Angelofnorth. I have tried most of the ones you mention, except Ricci Delice d'Epices, Guess by Marciano, and Bond No. 9 I Love New York For All. I will look for samples!

...I just checked, and I have four bottles! Edc splash, edc spray, and two tiny edp!So here is another set of images to decode:

...Shiseido Zen!The original (1964) was my very first fragrance, and I have been wearing it ever since!

...But of course.

...

...Oh, too easy!Five O'Clock au Gingembre.(More from Serge!)

...And Cryptic is correct, of course!(And I love the pictures of Serge of the Dead.)

...Thanks, Cincy and Diane1953!Here are three images that should make you think of one fragrance.

...I'm a fool for cardamom. So many of the fragrances in my collection contain that lovely note, but I am always on the lookout for an overlooked classic or a newly released stunner..Do you have any favorites with a memorable cardamom note? Have you sampled anything lately that I absolutely must try?Thank you!

...Could it be Freak by Illimasqua?

...Right you are, Diane1953!Your turn!

...Both of you are correct, but there is one word still missing! The first to reply with it shall be our next winner!

...I have not read every page of this thread, so I hope this is not a repeat!

...Here's my guess: Faberge Tigress. I actually had a bottle when I was very young!

...Sherapop:SystemeD:My favorite reaction may have been when a graduate student in my department left her office and ran out into the hallway I had just traveled, and called out, "Who smells so good?"I called out in return, "It is Guerlain Purple Fantasy that smells so good, and I am wearing it!"Oh good: a shout out for "Purple Fantasy"! I thought that I was the only person who liked it! :lol:And it was a real shout! I like PF very much, Sherapop. Awful name, ugly bottle, but good juice. Too bad it's discontinued.

...I too wear perfume for my own pleasure, but it is so nice when others appreciate it, and say so.My favorite reaction may have been when a graduate student in my department left her office and ran out into the hallway I had just traveled, and called out, "Who smells so good?"I called out in return, "It is Guerlain Purple Fantasy that smells so good, and I am wearing it!"I also had a good reaction once at a convenience store. The woman behind the counter said, "You smell so fresh and lovely." I happened to have in my purse a small vial of the Aqua Allegoria Orange Magnifica I was wearing, so I gave it to her!

...I'm happy to weigh in with my opinion here, too.Like PBullFriend noted, the two other sites I frequented in the past were unwelcoming to me for specific reasons, sometimes even explicitly.I am also delighted that Parfumo isn't filled with countless idiotic threads about "in the mood for sex" notes and fragrances. On the other hand, Parfumo hits just the right "in-between" spot, with intelligent discussion, user-friendly appearance and functions, and welcoming, well-informed, open-minded and gender-balanced users.So far, I am delighted with my experience here.

...Ha!I just reviewed Amber Oud by Kilian, and it is an oudless oud. Sherapop kindly pointed me to the forums, where I found this thread.I say for a good oud, stick to Montale. They do it right.

...I've recently received a few bottles of fragrances I enjoy very much.Serge Lutens, Fille en AiguillesJacomo Art Collection #08Matthew Williamson Incenseand Frapin 1270 is on its way to me, but has not yet arrived!

...Guusje:System-D: do you have an Etsy store? Me wants ;)Look for a PM on Facebook, Guusje! I don't have a store, but I'd love to make something for you!
