...Are these the ones that show up most often in people's collections? Or the ones that are in the ones that people say they are wearing?Either way, it's a nice list, Apicius. I love seeing the words for everything in German - sounds like a list I should memorize! :)(Especially Maigloeckchen! I love the idea of little May bells!)

...I want SO much to like TokyoMilk. The bottles are cute & I love the small size and reasonable price.But I've tried at least five or so and have only found one that I wanted to wear more than once - that would be Kabuki. I really like what it does with lychee (litchi), making it fruity but quirky, and not a traditional fruity-floral.I have a couple more samples to try & hope I like them better. :(

...m happy to weigh in with my opinion here, too.Like PBullFriend noted, the two other sites I frequented in the past were unwelcoming to me for specific reasons, sometimes even explicitly.I am also delighted that...

...Hey, nobody better disrespect my Hidden Fantasy! :lol: (I like the idea that sometimes expensive perfumes don't work for us, and sometimes ones from the drugstore do.)Thank you for the ideas about the award feature and the review comments! I'll use them more now!

...So far, I like it here very much. Of the two other sites, I have felt that one has been not-so-welcoming to gay people and one has been not-so-welcoming to women. I haven't seen evidence of either of those issues here, and I also haven't seen anyone insulting anyone else. Parfumo has felt closer to my personality lately, and I'm looking forward to spending more time here when I can and posting more reviews. But I know we've talked elsewhere before, Lola, and you and I have really different personalities. So, if you find it more comfortable someplace else, do what makes you comfortable! We do this to enjoy ourselves!

...PBullFriend:Hey, Aromi! I just looked at your FB profile & you're in my part of the world. (OK, pretty far over in my part of the world... there is some serious... online from that state. Isn't cyberspace great? (Even though I live in a fairly large metro, I know NO other perfume freaks here.) :D :D :D Hey PBullFriend. Yea.....Billings, Montana isn't exactly a bastion of fragrance, that's for sure. :shock: I lived most of my life in Philly and then moved to Montana...

...Hey, Aromi! I just looked at your FB profile & you're in my part of the world. (OK, pretty far over in my part of the world... there is some serious landmass in between.) You're the first parfumisto I've met online from that state. Isn't cyberspace great? (Even though I live in a fairly large metro, I know NO other perfume freaks here.)

...Hi Aromi! When I saw this, I tried to find the page on FB and couldn't. OK, now I just tried again & found it as parfumo.com. If you type "parfumo," it doesn't come up at all. So I guess the biggest thing is to let people know about it here on the site? And, once we discover it, we can mention it to our other perfumy FB friends. -Ellen

...Thanks, Apicius! This is especially helpful for those of us who are just learning our way around here!

...My pleasure, sweet Guusje! Hope you find things you like in there!

...want to thank PBullfriend for being so fantastic! :D A handwritten letter and instead of the expected 'small envelop'... I got a box full of samples and decants....Girl...

...I'm a native English speaker & not fluent in anything else. I can speak/read/write haltingly in French, more haltingly in Spanish, and I can probably only speak Russian with someone who is accustomed to dealing with infants. (Not especially bright infants, actually.) Was fluent in Dutch as a child (lived in the Netherlands) and am sorry I let that go. Can understand a bit of German, primarily dealing with issues of food and illness, as those were my grandparents' most frequent topics... :wink: Wish I had put some serious effort into real fluency at one of these languages - might still do so.
