...Thank you all for the information! The reason I had asked about buying in the shops or on the plane was to see if that was an option, also. Or if when I was at my destination I had found a perfume (or two...) that I liked and purchased and wanted to return home with it. It's really just a short domestic trip. Boarding my pets will be a huge expense for me as it is and that factors in. But I won't travel without perfume at all. I'd feel naked...

...So if I understand this correctly: Someone else says they own the copyright to "S". The person who is currently marketing "S" never copyrighted it, (their mistake), so are they now pulling their products from the shelves? Or re-naming them? Because if someone else says they own the name, why would someone want to continue marketing a product under a name that they don't own?

...Sorceress! You can either bring rollerballs or little sprayers, so long as they fit in the quart size baggie in your carry-on luggage.As far as check-in...

...So I'll be traveling in a few months. I haven't traveled by plane in years. Obviously I'll need to bring perfume with me. I've googled the rules. I don't want anything tossed at the airport. Would it be best to bring rollerballs of what I want? Or little sprayers that you can fill yourself?And if I manage to purchase anything at my destination, can I bring it back on the plane with me?Also, what type of perfumes do they sell on the plane/airports? Huge mark-ups? Because obviously if I purchase something there, I can bring that on the plane, correct?I'm having panic attacks already....Thanks for the advice.

...I've been lucky. Everything is good. I'll agree that using the sprayer a number of times for some odd reason makes the perfume seems to smell better. I've only had to do that with one bottle of perfume that was dated from 1992, and it worked. The first few sprays seemed minimal at best, until I used that trick. Then afterwards, the perfume was good as new. It was as if the perfume fairy had blessed the bottle again and a miracle had happened. Definitely a trick to remember!

...A lot of people compliment "Histoire D'Amour" as a woody chypre. It's incredibly inexpensive, but very, very good.

...As an American, I would say that those of us that have been involved with perfumes for decades as a hobby are much more into the heavier scents because we have traveled down the path and experienced more. We probably crave more. We were raised on heavier perfumes, also. The younger generation is being influenced by so much mass marketing now thrown at them through the internet, magazines, television and so much mass media that they really have no idea what they should be choosing for themselves based on individuality. They base their choices on popularity instead. Or on who the current popular singer is that is hawking a perfume. And that's pretty sad. As far as fresh and clean scents, I've never worn them. I find them boring. I want substance in my perfume. Something that's "fresh and clean" would seem like something that would disappear too quickly for my nose and liking. But I also believe that age at times may have something to do with personal preferences. Not that you can peg perfumes with an age group, but you can say the longer a person has been delving into perfumes as a perfumista, then the more sophisticated and deeper their tastes may be, the stronger their perfumes may be. Perhaps the more a perfume addict searches, the deeper their abyss is.

...Hayven:There is a source "fountain" at a local Ulta, and I have never seen it touched. How well kept and how often is the source refilled?Really? How big is your Ulta? I've never seen such a thing at my Ulta...now I'm going to tease the ladies there and ask them where is the fountain...As far as refills, not for any perfumes that I can think of that I might purchase today. I haven't emptied any bottles. I have too many that I rotate that I don't come close to emptying any. Altho if I knew I could get refills of Dior Addict and D&G Intense at a discount...hmmmm, I might use them more oftem...

...Seems ridiculous that Parfumo cannot use their name. In a way , it's free advertising for them on your site. Now, no one knows what it is if they happened upon it. It's really their loss. And it's a shame that Parfumo will have to pay out money for this, too.

...Sorceress:Omni:I am trying harder. I am now layering both Chanel No 5 and L'Heure Bleu with Apres l"Ondee as per the suggestions. Does Parfumo have a layering...

...Lately I've been layering "Nicole Miller" with "Anne Klein II". Both are heavy but when Nicole Miller dries down it's a nice warm honeyed amber with spices and tonka bean for me. Add the golden deliciousness of Anne Klein II and I'm in absolute heaven for hours on end. It seems to last forever on me.I also like "Nude by Rihanna" with "Vanilla Musk" by Coty. It seems to bring out Nude to greater depths and makes it last much, much longer.

...Omni:I am trying harder. I am now layering both Chanel No 5 and L'Heure Bleu with Apres l"Ondee as per the suggestions. Does Parfumo have a layering suggestions thread? If not, shall we start one?This is a thread about layering perfumes, Omni.http://www.parfumo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1355

...once. I can understand that others love it, I can't. Something just does not gel.No reason to feel guilty about it, or about anything else. Like Sorceress said, no reason to "wrestle". There are plenty of favorites which I adore and love to spray on...

...I believe there are just some perfumes that are not made for me, no matter what the season, no matter what I do to try them, no matter what I do with layering. I have certain bottles of perfume that are relegated to the back burner that I sniff every so often because I love the scent until I put them on. Then I want to wash them off.Chanel No. 5 is one of them. Mitsouko, which the world adores, sits lonely on my bureau. Why do some of the greats not agree with me. They just don't. But yet, I love their scents. They just don't really do it for me upon application. Aromatics Elixir is another. At least I know I've tried many a time, and I go on to others. There are far too many in our world to adore than to worry about a few that don't agree with me when I actually apply them. I can open the bottles and sniff any time. And then go on to a perfume that adores me and I adore it. Life is too short to wrestle with a perfume.
