...I was on Fragrantica couple of years ago and had to stop posting due to ill health. I felt really shy about going back when I was better and so lurked for a while and planned to start posting again once I felt more confident. But then I was truly shocked by some of the prejudice and bigotry on the site. I saw a thread where a girl was basically bullied due to her sexuality. Those that came to her defence were mocked and told that they were being rude and unacceptable. I don't know what happened to it, I gave up reading it after a while and went searching for another site to make my home. :cry: I am on BN as well but I don't participate there due to it always feeling rather elitist. So I was so glad to find Parfumo! This place is so friendly and I love the way I can blog and post pictures of my collection in an album and to the individual perfume pages! This is a great site, thank you to whoever came up with the concept, I shall be remaining a while. :D

...I had heard so many good things about Habanita and Cabochard that I eagerly got hold of a couple of bottles. I can still smell them to this day, I'm sure they burnt my nose hairs away! :roll:

...I'm so jealous! I want to visit Harajuku so badly! Le sigh...*green with envy*. :lol:

...I'm all for recycling and I try and reuse things as much as possible, but I agree with the majority here. I just don't like the idea of refills, the perfume can be tampered with and there is no guarantee of quality if it's under artificial lighting or if lots of people can get their germs all over the equipment. Maybe I'm just getting fussy in my old age, but I'll buy a new bottle each time. :?

...I think the only perfume I've had a negative comment on was Organza. I was given it as a gift by the boss and, even though it really wasn't my type of perfume, I wore it a couple of times so that he knew that I was appreciative. Another lady in the office was quite outspoken about the perfume deciding that she was allergic to it and that I was, under no circumstances, to wear it again. Which was fine with me, I had an excuse not to wear it any more. :D Perfumes I've had compliments on are Pure Poison, A Scent, Kelly Caleche and my favourite BPAL, Tavern of Hell. :D

...Congratulations! I've been smoke free for four years and know how hard it is. You deserve those treats! :D

...I've gone through a bit of a crazy phase. I think it's with the change in weather I wanted to freshen up my perfume collection. So I sold a load that I wasn't wearing on eBay and put the proceeds towards these:Guerlain L'Instant de Guerlain Eau de ToiletteGuerlain Allegoria Lavande VeloursIssey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey FloraleVivienne Westwood BoudoirChanel Coco NoirVersace Bright CrystalGivenchy Play IntenseIssey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey AbsoluChanel No 19 EDTCarolina Herrera 212 VIPJo Malone Peony & Blush SuedeVintage Helena Rubinstein Wood FernYSL Rive Gauche IntenseKenzo Madly EDTKenzo SummerMontale Aoud Queen RosesDita Von Teese ErotiqueVan Cleef & Arpels Feerie Rose Des NiegesArran Aromatics After the RainAgent Provocateur Petale NoirMolinard Les Orientaux Vanille MarineOMG I just looked at the huge list!

...My favourite so far is Lavande Velours, it's such a beautiful natural smelling lavender. But I definitely next want to try Flora Nymphea as I love honey in perfumes!
