...I've found a shop locally that sells D.S. Durga so I was able to sample some scents in person with large testers instead of small dabbers. Surprisingly, the only one I liked was Sir. I don't remember liking it when I first tested it. It is rich, ambery, dark and herbal. I will come back to it a few times and if it lasts, I will definitely get it.

...I don't like endless quoting and scrolling. I would prefer people not quote, which is only possible here because it is not so busy.

...Something else must be going on. Perhaps it is as you said: Fragrantica wants to be at the top of the search list (and they currently are) when it comes to perfume reviews so they have to abide by Google policies. I am just assuming that Google requires family-friendly content to be at the top of searches. But still, it does not make sense all the way. Like you said, there are all kinds of images on google images that are not appropriate for everyone. As far as perfume images and ads, I would like to see more on this site because I love perfume bottles and photos of them. I don't mean in the sense of advertising to the users but more of an artistic inspiration (members here have wonderful self-taken photos).

...There are multiple strange things going on on that site.

...I just saw the bald between the legs shot. Not a fan.

...So stupid. I am no longer on the site otherwise I would spy on those tattlers and laugh at their tactics. It's sickening how they immediately do what the mod says!P.S. I thought I could not read the forums unless I was a member but I was wrong. At this point, the members are criticizing google and comparing it to Turkey and Iran. How disgusting. As though everyone in the whole world is supposed to have the same values.

...Why do they expect members to report racy content when they are putting all those photos on their website themselves?

...Most of the Bond No. 9 perfumes. Garish bottles, mediocre scents.With a few exceptions - "Bond No. 9 Perfume" "Madison Square Park" "Fire Island" "New Harleem:986eabf162]Bond is awful and I really did not get the whole Puredistance concept. Nothing smelled good to me and the price is probably the most outrageous I've seen.Creed is not that great honestly and Roja Dove, though I've only sampled a few, is just not worth it.

...Their perfumes come with photos of the advertising campaigns and those can be racy (do you remember the old Opium ad with Sophie Dahl?)

...Definitely Winter Delice. Tiare Mimosa was excellent as well. Very beautiful for Spring.

...I love his Incense Rose and Lonestar Memories. I bet I would love Rose Flash but I wonder if it smells like Une Rose de Kandahar which I already have.

...ScentedSalon:Did you end up with any full bottles?Ordered 3 from their website. They're on the way...

...I won't leave my heavy orientals. The only concession I will make to Spring is to switch from spicy smokey scents to something like Or du Serail.

...For me, the appeal is in the brilliant composition itself, even if I have to reapply. When they arrive I'll do a full wearing and report again.ScentedSalon:If they are skin scents that would take away a lot of their appeal. Definitely won't be buying any full bottles. I don't know when we'll get a warm...

...re pretty much skins scents. Now I'm wondering if my hyper-detecting nose responded to what others won't even smell? They might need a warm day.ScentedSalon:Well, I got my samples but for some reason, they are all so weak on me. I better test them on another day before giving any impressions...

...I definitely prefer sweet like Poison. I like spices most of all and sweetness and spice go well together.

...I sure will. I was disappointed to learn that their HYLDNS perfumes are not in the sample pack. Those are based on Scottish landscapes and stories and are supremely unique.
