...If your character is in her 40’s, then perfumes should be from golden list of 80’s: 1. Obsession by CK - every Valentine’s day was celebrated with this perfume. 2. Beautiful by Estee Lauder - it was very classy, romantic floral perfume. 3. Opium by YSL - I remember very well how theatres were full of this scent. 4. Poison by Christian Dior - original was soo beautiful. 5. Giorgio by Beverly hills - it was symbol of luxury. 6. First by Van Cleef and Arpels - you can’t simply miss this perfume during 80’s. 7. Chanel no 5 it was absolute hit and must have, who can get it. Of course if author chooses different country in his scenery then it plays great deal too, because what was popular in one part of the world it wasn’t available for majorities. “Strong woman” is very subjective description.

...Greetings all! I believe in perfumery base notes are more projectory and long lasting. If you want to hear more plum notes in your scents then look for plum ingredients in the base and middles notes. Perfumo have great data base. Here is list of my personal favourites: 1. “Feminite du Bois” by Serge Lutens2. “Boxeuress” by Serge Lutens3. “Bois d’Fruits” by Serge Lutens as you can tell I’m his biggest fan :-) 4. “Poison” by Christian Dior5. “Hypnotic poison” by Christian Dior 6. “Liassons Dangerous” by Killan7. “Single malt” by Killan8. “Naughty Fruity” by Mugler9. ”Ume” & “Bohemes” by Keiko Mecheri10. “Valentino Donna Noir” by Valentino11. “Declaration Splendide” by Terry de Gunzburg12. “Dark purple” by Montale13. “Bullion” by Byredo14. “Decadence” by Marc Jacobs15. “Aziyade” by Parfum d’Empire16. “Kenzo World Intense” by Kenzo17. “Love is in the air” by House of Sillageand many more...There are no pure plum essential oils, it is all combination of ingredients that play with your imagination. Keep this in mind too. :-)

...I checked batch number and found out it was made in 2019-08. This scent is 1 year 5 months and 4 days old. Usually perfumes are well off untill they are 5 years of age. No worries about this one. My question is about price. This perfume costs in USA no more then $69 retail price for 50ml bottle. I assumed site labels are required by law in your country. If you have any questions, just ask. Best wishes!

...If you have a chance to explore Memo Paris brand, they have all kinds of beautiful leather scents. My personal favorite is “French leather”. You can hear rose accord in it, but it is very feminine. I love to layer mine with “Intense cafe” by Montale.

...Good afternoon! I posted several corrections to research and forgot about it. It is not my site, why to worry so much about points? We are volunteers for the same cause. Hope you can find new fire or motivation within to continue your work. I learn from my own trials and mistakes. Some people who joined later then me earned more points then me by posting more reviews and it is good too. I’m just happy to be part of this growing fragrance community. By the way, some of your pictures are very good. May be focus more on that? Best wishes to you! P.S. Here is one of the admins - DonVanVliet. May be he can help you to figure out what is the problem here.

...Date of manufacture: September 2018General shelf life: 36 months Your perfume is valid at least for the next 10 months. Price determines value and demand. Please check your local eBay for the same types of fragrances. I know in USA it will cost $62 tops for 200ml bottle. For 100ml is half of that price. This batch is new formulation and 2 year old perfume is moderately new. Classic perfumes are about 25 years old. Vintage perfumes are 30 years old and older. Not to mention that some batches don’t even survive time. Best wishes!

...Years of your life and your Mothers last year can narrow down your findings. Ill try to help you, but I need to start with these years and go down the list. Country of your residence at that time might help a lot too. Scents have very strong impact on us. I wish you best to find yours.

...During quarantine lots of mergers and lots of businesses are bring bought and sold. I believe it is one of the reasons. Please let me know if Im wrong.

...In the beginning of our quarantine I discovered Fragrantica community. It was new hit of olfactory experiences for me. I never looked back. I discovered ways how to order more samples for me to try. Niche and artisan perfumes become quite unique ride. I thank Covid for my ability to have sense of smell. In the beginning of 2020 our family was hit with something unusual we don’t know what it was, because tests were not available at that time, but I remember all of us noticed loss of smell for a week. I always like to compare to my past and find something valuable to learn new things. Most fragrance stores are sold out now, thanks to Covid, Malls are closed, but fragrance business is still booming.
