...Hi there folks!I'm looking for a floral that could stand the humid heat of summer but is also quite sexy. Niche preferred however, I'm completely open to other suggestions.Thanks! :D

...Belgwen:My beloved "Rose Absolue" by Yves Rocher is one of them. Very very difficult to find. If I could, I'd buy a fb in a heartbeat.Why oh WHY do they...

..."Joy" Jean PatouI hate the animalic edge in this but LOVE the jasmine + rose in it. I'm sucker for this combination and it's not easily found everywhere predominantly or in good quality.

...My beloved "Rose Absolue" by Yves Rocher is one of them. Very very difficult to find. If I could, I'd buy a fb in a heartbeat.Why oh WHY do they always discontinue great perfumes that sell well? RA sold like hotcakes on their site while it was in production. I remember them being out of stock several times when I tried to purchase it! :shock:

...I don't know what makes a scent feminine or masculine to my nose but I swear I can smell a perfume blind (don't know the brand/name etc.) and I am 95% right in appointing a gender specific quality to what I am smelling. So perhaps there's something to the feminine vs masculine distinctions in scents. For example, gas stations, gyms, mechanic shops, carpentry shops distinctly smell masculine to me. Whereas places like the kitchen, a female's vanity, most shampoos, bakeries, detergents smells, restaurants smell feminine to me. I'm not bothered by it if something smells masculine to some or not. The way I see it is that the world is made up of both the feminine and the masculine elements wrapped up together. Think Yin/Yang concept. We all have both elements wrapped up in ourselves. It would be easy to see, coming from that stand point, why gender neutrality would be valid. Some peeps see that and some peeps don't. Neither group is blind or does it have perception problems. Both ideas are very refreshing.

...but I can't afford it at the moment."Mon Précieux Nectar" by Guerlain.

..."HM" by Hanae Mori"Blue Sugar" by AquolinaBoth are unisex to my nose.

..."Armani Code Luna" for the Solstice. It felt like the most appropriate fragrance for the occasion. :)

...Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. - Mark Twain

...Ridicule is the burden of genius. - Daffy Duck

...Bond No. 9 "Eau de Noho"Though it is not listed on this site, the top notes is a huge blast of Linden. I grew up drinking Linden blossom tea and been drinking it all my adult life. So I'd say this is a pretty good representation of it. Mind you, it does have some violet and other floral notes to support it as well.

...Ok - so I guess Ineke is definitely on my list of sample hunts! :lol:

...Thank you so much - I have heard of some of these but never tried them. This seems to be my wake up call! :D More suggestions are most welcome. I'm especially interested in niche lines as well. :)

...Hello All, I'm looking for a gorgeous, Lilac dominant perfume. I do prefer that it is a floral or oriental/floral. Could you please give me some suggestions? :D

...I jumped ship as well. What with the mess involving deletion of any topics might imply "gay" or "lesbian" and receiving a private email where someone typed "parfumo.com" which came out as "stop spam", I decided it was time to move on. Fragrantica has not been fair to *all* of its members nor supported free speech. It's a GREAT web site for perfume lovers. But only if perfumes are all you care about in life and you're okay with turning a blind eye to blatant discrimination.Ps: I was the poster last week who posted a 2nd topic after a female created a topic where she asked what women like to smell on women - which got deleted for NO reason. I posted the follow-up topic to show solidarity to the lesbian/gay community (I'm straight!) and I simply asked what women liked to smell on other women. But that totally respectful topic got deleted too. So not worth the drama! :roll:
