New Perfume Company
by Franfan20 | Parfumo Research
...This is totally fine, Dorothy.Of course you can proceed right away with more proposals.(Waiting for the brand to be added makes it easier insofar as we might save one edit step if the rest of the protocol is filled out correctly with the data available. However it should not prevent you from adding anything right away.)I will take a quick look and add the brand to the list, so you can proceed.

Weekly Scent Discussion #17: You Tube Reviewers
by Franfan20 | Perfumes & Brands
Re: Weekly Scent Discussion #17: You Tube Reviewers
...Briarthorn:I really like Ouch110, Our opinions align on many things, so I've leaned to trust his opinion (That name sounds so familiar to me, I swear I've seen it somewhere other than youtube...).He is a nice person for sure. We had contact on Fragrantica when he started the channel. He really made something out of a few videos by now :DMaybe that's where you know him from Ouch! on Fragrantica.I invited him over I guess, but his focus might be on the video reviews now (although he could implement them here).

2015 Releases Quatre (Eau de Parfum) - Boucheron
by Franfan20 | Perfumes & Brands
...yes, me neither. I back out of these sort of fragrances right away. either i'm not interested in general or they just don't smell good to me. regardless if the majority likes them. for example Bonbon by V&R smells just yuck. Or Si... I hate it because of this overly fruity-oriental cassis smell.But I don't think I'm influenced much by others. I'm testing Toy by Moschino now and having read so many bad things about Moschino I'm glad it's not that bad. It's a simple lavender cologne for sure, but not terrible. But yes, the marketing here is all. Never would buy it.

...No, I have a real problem with supposed "berry" scents it seems. Amethyst smelled horribly synthetic. Berries and Cherries usually turn out plastic on me :?But Satine was no exception either, Lalique just isn't for me it seems :lol:

2015 Releases Quatre (Eau de Parfum) - Boucheron
by Franfan20 | Perfumes & Brands
...They don't have anything that stands out about them.Generic, indifferent fragrances that make it hard to describe anything in detail.Delices de Nina... forgettable (as all Ninas), sprayed on, smelled citrusy, poofAqva Divina... expected something interesting -> generic amber oriental soup, danger of headacheLPRNMRP -> didn't know the others before, smells like airfreshener, but is consistent with the other LPRNs (Edt, Couture), just unpleasant.Living Lalique... was ok, the first Lalique I liked, but it's not like you'd be wow'd about it.Watermelons... Pure watermelon scent seems to be hard to create. It smells of it in the first few minutes, then turns into some aquatic fresh scent that's just boring.compared with the prices, just let downs.

...After testing all scents I wanted so far, nothing stood out or made an impression on me. Either boring or a let down. :? Wish I could say more, but it's not to be mentioned somehow. Well, still some months to come :D

...Sorry, I don't know that.The dutch source only reports about, but doesn't mention an exact in-store date.Might take some time still as there isn't anything proper on the news shelves yet.

2015 Releases Quatre (Eau de Parfum) - Boucheron
by Franfan20 | Perfumes & Brands
...Sure, plus there are of course some new brands that have to establish first as well as nonames and independent that cover a smaller range of customers. But with 2014 ending with 2773 perfumes, it's really more like a bulimic consuming. Out, smell, buy or not, forget, shelved.I mean of course this all natural and just a current development of the market and I too, buy new releases that I collect or find pretty/good smelling. But rarely do I buy a second bottle.On the other hand I'm not that interested in the older stuff as well, but that's just me :)Trying to find the gems in "my own personal scent generation/favored category" and cherish them as long as they are available :D (And I don't like to have what the masses have on top)

Re: 2015 Releases
...ScentFan:Aqva Divina by BvlgariI can hopefully report something about that one soon. It sounds so interesting. Contrasts, wonder how salt, quince and beeswax will work. Fingers crossed I'm truly getting the sample ;)But in general I think the releases are already overblown. It's February and we have already 352 releases this year and it doesn't stop (already plenty new ones in the queue). That's what I call to oversaturate the market. ;) And rarely something interesting for me.But I have to admit some sound wonderful.Tested*/Will test:"Watermelons"*"Living Lalique"*"Les Délices de Nina"*"Aqva Divina"*"La Petite Robe Noire Ma Robe Petales (Eau Fraiche)"*probably the legere Panthere too, although I still need to test the original.

2 active perfumes by same house with exact same notes
by Franfan20 | Parfumo Research
...Usually we indicates reformulations like this which can be proved by sources.However something must be wrong there still since the pyramids are identical except one mentioning fir and the other pine needles (although this can be a translation error).Thanks for the tip.Edit:After checking all possible sources, it seems PerfumeIntelligence is reporting nonsense. There is no trademark for 1959, no other reliable source mentioning the date and Michael Edwards' book of fragrances dates 1976 as well. So this must be an error and it will be removed.
