...I love the original and all of the flankers I have tried so far! Keep 'em coming! That's just me though. So far, I have Shalimar, Shalimar Initial, and Shalimar Initial Sensuelle. I have tested some of the "route" flankers and they are great, but just too similar to the original for me to spend money on them. That Shalimar Souflee is intriguing though. I'd buy it for the right price ($70 or under).

...I will apologize in advance for those who love "Exceptional".My only question is.... when will they finally discontinue this useless perfume? I can start a bonfire large enough to burn the whole country down with all of the samples Fragrancenet keeps generously giving me of this "Exceptional".

...NaughtyKitty's collection:Love: Amouage Memoir WomanLeast favorite: Max Factor Le...

...My most recent one is Swiss Arabian Barq, although I have also swapped a lot of perfumes. I am currently waiting in the mail for Bath and Body Works Midnight Pomegranate.

...From Sorceress's collection:Favorite: Cologne of the MissionsLeast favorite: Pink Sugar

...Another vote for "Fille en Aiguilles". It's a great scent with a lot of piney green notes. :D It was on my want list for the longest time, because other "pine" scents I tried just seemed too herbal or synthetic.

...I always hear in forums about people getting compliments from random strangers and such. Personally, this rarely ever happens in my own experience. I rarely get any comments regarding my perfumes, let alone compliments. To my bf, they all "smell like powder". And my mom just thinks I have too much. I guess I'm just not a very social person. Or maybe my perfumes just don't smell that good.

...Well, since I am too poor to actually buy Ciel, Honour, or Tobacco Vanille due to the costs of fixing up a trailer I will be moving into, I guess my next buy will be "Nour" by Swiss Arabian which I recently added into the database. :)

...I enjoy the scent of the Mandarin Basil one, but have yet to buy anything from this line. I would really like to though! Whenever I have the money.... :(

...Sweetgrass:Please let this not be true, I still haven't gotten around to buying my FB and I don't want to eBay hunt for it :( I have grown to love SPI.Many people on Basenotes and Fragrantica are saying that it is indeed being discontinued. Their source for this information is some "Monsieur Guerlain" who posts regarding Guerlain perfumes on Facebook. I do not use Facebook, nor do I know who this "Monsieur Guerlain" is. I am doubtful that he is actually a member of the Guerlain family, and am assuming that he's some sort of a perfume blogger, although I am uncertain and my apologies if I am incorrect. Anyways, I couldn't find any information from Guerlain's site directly, and they won't answer my emails.

...MiaVonTrost:Neo-hippie movement?This describes a lot of d-bags who go to my university. Personally, I hate Apple.

...I really enjoy Love Never Dies Black Jewel and Love Generation Rock. Fashion Victim and Love Never Dies Gold are nice as well.

...On my skin, "Patchouli Intense" by Molinard is bitter dark chocolate and patchouli, but on some people's skin it is sweet so it's worth testing to see how it turns out on you.

...Hi everyone! I am new here, although I have been on other perfume sites for a while. I only recently found out about Parfumo. Since October of last year, my perfume collection has grown from maybe 7 perfumes to around 100 currently, and I am always on the look out for new additions and great bargains. I collect both perfume bottles and scents, so it's not always about "loving" a specific scent to me personally. It's more about the sensory experience of perfumes. There are scents I find extremely intriguing yet not wearable, and I collect those as well. My other hobbies are riding motorcycles and my kitty cats, of course. :) So far my experience on this site has been great, everyone is very nice.

..."Ciel Woman" or "Honour Woman" or "Tobacco Vanille". So hard to pick one, but I have to since they are all so expensive.

...Tessa:Maybe this is the explanation for the backorder list I was put on by Neiman Marcus . I had to wait three weeks to receive the notice that Shalimar Initial was shipped and meanwhile I received a notice that the perfume may not be available and if I wanted to wait....I waited and got it. Now I think it could be discontinued.This is so sad. :( It truly is one of my favorites. I wonder if they are discontinuing Shalimar Parfum Initial L'Eau also. I imagine so, since it's a flanker. They recently had a deal on this one at Fragrancenet where you could buy a 2 ounce bottle for $26. Of course, I snagged a bottle up but now I am wondering if I should have gotten more than one bottle.

...MiaTrost:Without any reliable information, why not ask Guerlain themselves?I cannot find anything on their site regarding this either. This is just what I have heard from a few customers. :(

...I think there are so many beautiful perfume bottles out there! Really too many out there to name them all, but I'll list some of the ones in my collection.I have a bottle of Niki de Saint Phalle EDP which looks exactly like this and it's absolutely gorgeous!My other favorites: "Shalimar Parfum Initial" "John Galliano" "Amouage Memoir" "Patchouli Intense" and I think this "celeb" scent has a surprisingly beautiful bottle: "Nicole".

...Hello everyone,I just read on another forum that Guerlain might be discontinuing one of my favorite fragrances of all time, "Shalimar Parfum Initial". I am really hoping this is not true. Does anyone here know if they are really discontinuing this? This is very tragic, since there is no other perfume out there like this one. I love the original "Shalimar" but sometimes it's just heavy for me to wear, and on those days "Shalimar Initial" is perfect. *sigh* I really hope this isn't true!
