Remarkable perfume ads & commercials
by Dulcemio | Parfumo Community
...com/2010/07/28/old-spice-sales-up-107-pe_n_662013.htmlSome advertising that shows lots of skin is overtly sexual, but most of it seems more sensual than sexual to me. I, for one, enjoy looking at beautiful half-naked and naked people of both sexes...

Celebrity perfumes: A thread
...their slight differences. Both are strong on the benzoin for me and last for hours. I think they're very unique for today's offerings. Naked is so sensual with its woody and musky tones, it offers a thick heady scent from Madonna. Hers is sweeter, while I found Cavalli to be more dry and have more of a...

Frags so good you can't find an occasion to wear them?
by Sensual | Perfumes & Brands
Re: Respecting a perfume vs. actually wearing it
...Pipette:Somehow this article of Elena Vosnaki (PerfumeShrine) fits the format of this discussion. http://perfumeshrine.blogspot.com/2013/12/respecting-perfume-vs-actually-wearing.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+PerfumeShrine+(Perfume+Shrine) You can comment on her article - within the link - or here at Parfumo.That´s so funny, ´cos it was exactly "Coco" EdP that I sold while ago as I never wore it, but I do admire it, a lot ! Yet, it was not "me", and then again, I have no trouble wearing "Nahéma" when at home in pyjamas.I do not look for special occasions anymore to wear my favourites - of course, I would not wear some heavy orientals when going to a doctor either - because I rather think nowadays, that they deserve to be worn as often as possible, would be such a pity if they got bad ´cos I would "save" them for too long for that special occasion which might never come...

The end of a love affair-Scents that have lost their magic ?
by Sensual | Perfumes & Brands
...Sorceress:Can't say that anything has ever really lost its magic for me. Once liked or loved, I'll always feel that way. Whatever the perfume is, it just stays in the rotational seasonal area, so to speak. I just don't like certain perfumes for certain times of year and will "fall out of love" seasonally for them.That goes for me as well...Though, right now, my big-time-favourite from last winter, "White Aoud", does not excite me at all...too loud, but the base is quite nice. Yet again, the coldest time of the year is still to come, so in January it just might find a new place in my heart again. :)

How many discontinued perfumes do you own?
by Sensual | Perfumes & Brands
...9 of 30...although, Parfumo-database claims "Skai" and "Tea for two" to still be produced.Of "Dior Addict (2002)" I´ve bought a bit of back-up, and will buy some more if I find with acceptable price.Same goes for "Tea for Two", but right now it does notr seem so realistic...Anyway, after the reformulation of Addict I decided to test some more vanilla-perumes and came across "Felanilla No.21" which is my big time favourite right now, so it broght some good with it as well. :)Still, with "Nu", "Addict" and "Le Baiser du Dragon" I will automatically be more selective of when to use them, as I just might not get them anymore...But I do wear them too, the worst thing would be, if I´d never wear them anymore in fear of running out, and then one day would simply discover that my oh-so-precious-perfume has gone bad...One has to be able to let go, be it objects or persons. ( and a good perfume can feel very much like person, a good "friend" who´s been with you for many years, so I do understand the grieving of a beloved perfume )

Comments on subjective preferences.
...When I first stumbled upon the online perfume community, my first thought was, "What on earth do people find to discuss about fragrance, it's such a sensual experience, what is there to discuss?"Obviously I was wrong about that. But the bottom line is that it either smells good to me, or it doesn't. I...
