...I'm so jealous that you only recently started summer! Northern California has gorgeous weather. What are your favorite summer freshies?@Anamandy so sorry to hear about the Canadian wildfires affecting your air quality and weather where you are - I hope you and your loved ones have stayed safe...

...I've only tried a few fragrances from Zara and fell in love with one of them. Their Fleur d'Oranger is as good as anything on the market today from even the best perfume houses. This is one of their original fragrances created by Jo Malone. Be Layered does some pretty good dupes.  Some of them smell almost identical to the actual fragrances they are copying. 

...I love Autumn but my favorite time of year is Winter. But I am not looking forward to Autumn or Winter this year because we've hardly had any Spring or Summer. Below normal temperatures, lots of rain, and on days where it is nice, lots of smoke from the Canadian wildfires where you had to stay shut up indoors. It's been a total bummer so far. 

...The Forsaken: An American Tragedy in Stalin's Russia by Tim Tzouliadis. This needs to be made into a movie. Absolutely gripping. 

...Perfumes and plants. I love wearing perfumes and I love gardening. Oh, and movies and books too. I have a huge library in my house. 

...I never had a girl crush but I did think certain actresses were beautiful. Actually, too many to mention here. Audrey Hepburn is one and Gene Tierney is another. I'm showing my age here too. My first actor crush was Al Pacino when I saw him in the Godfather.

...Rochas Lumiere 2016  

...DogiCocoA question to all the former fragranticans: Will you transfer your old reviews? I posted a few fresh ones that I had saved on my phone but never put on fragrantica, and I already had to modify them a bit because some of them contained corrections about the wrong notes lists on there 🤣 now I don't plan to dump all my 1000+ old reviews at once into Parfumo, but I'm wondering by which criteria others use to choose what to repost and what to leave in the past.Not necessarily. What I am doing is reevaluating my original reviews by wearing the fragrances again to see if my impressions of them have changed. If so, I either write a new review or rework the original to reflect the change. There is a difference between the review format here compared to there. There, reviews are mostly informal, with a lot of people new to perfumes and notes. We've all been there and that is good as a learning curve. I find that Parfumo has a lot of very good, very experienced reviewers who are able to describe notes, accords, and performance issues very well, usually in an interesting, informative, and beautiful way. I found something similar with Basenote's reviews, which also has very experienced reviewers too, including many known people like Luca Turin, Barbara Herman, and various perfumers/owners, as members), though I think that site is on its way out simply because it is a one-man show running the place and one person cannot do it all and run it well, especially on a site that has thousands of users. Which is too bad because Grant, the owner, is a very nice person who seems to love this hobby as much as we do. 

...I know a lot of people from Fragrantica came here recently. I have been telling a lot of people about this site because there are so many innovative things to do. I love the Assistant and Profiler features. There is nothing like that on any other site. 

...Thank you, I did it, but I don't know if it will be accepted or not. But it is on Ormonde Jayne's website. I don't know if they are going to be discontinuing this fragrance or not since the only thing they have available now are the travel sprayers. But that does have the same notes as the other two strengths. Thank you again for your assistance. 

...Anamandy, You can propose a revision in the Research section. Simply hit the Research button on the perfume's page and you can start up a new revision...

...Hi all, I see on Ormonde Jayne's site that they have Cassis listed in the notes for the edp and the Intensivo version, yet it is not listed in the notes here for either perfume on this site. How do we go about getting the notes corrected?

...Ordered a sample of Don't Tell Jasmine by Vilhelm Parfumerie. I want to see how it stacks up against my favorite Jasmine scent, Jasmin de Pays by Perris Monte Carlo. I'm also curious about the Kir cocktail note since that is what I drink on occasion.  

...I don't know how true it will be for you, but my favorites are Highness Rose, Gold Flowers, Intense Tiare, and Powder Flowers.  Now, as far as my opinion on Montale.  For the most part, when I first receive any bottle of Montale, they are very chemical on first spray until a few sprays later with a rest in-between when the chemicals dissipate, and I can smell the scent without them. I think it has something to do with the sealing process of the cans that causes that chemical smell. Honestly, though they look nice, I really hate the pressurized cans for perfume. It makes it hard to know visually how much perfume you have left, and since the can is pressurized, it feels lightweight, so you can't tell by weighing it in your hand either. Other than that, I like some of the fragrances, but like every other brand, not all of them. 

...Carry a travel sprayer of the scent. That's what works for me. 

...I've been telling everyone I know about Parfumo and all the great features you have here, and your database of perfumes is simply the best. 

...Zara Fleur d'Oranger. I bought it on a whim when I spotted a Zara store. I was very curious about the Jo Malone collaboration. I liked most of the scents from the line she created, but I fell in love with this one. I can't believe how cheap it was, though it doesn't smell cheap at all. No bathroom citrus notes in this one. Just simple and beautiful orange blossom. It's sublime.

...CoasterdudeWithout a doubt Ambroxan.  Gives me raging headaches like nothing else. Smells like nothing but also hell at the same time.  Use some real Irish black ambergris, that shit actually smells like sea Oh My, I forgot to add that I hate these newfangled molecules too. They smell just like rubbing alcohol to me and nothing else. How do niche fragrances get away with adding this garbage to their perfumes - especially at the prices being asked?

...MitchcraftRichardECardamom usually ruins a fragrance for me, with few exceptions like Ombré Leather (2018) Eau de Parfum , Sauvage Elixir or La Nuit de L'Homme Bleu Électrique Yup have to agree I am not a big fan of that or Violet leaves. And I love both.

...I am tired of the Patchouli Rose combinations, heavy sweet vanillas, and Calone, (that phony melon note). What notes are you tired of seeing in perfumes?
