...That's slightly ironic, hehe. By telling people what not to buy, you're still influencing them anyway.

...Smoking affects your skin, so in the long run I'd imagine it would have some effect.

..."Tobacco Vanille"

...You need something that's oil based, as fragrance is also oil based. I remember an old thread on another forum about this subject that had some great solutions but I can't find it anymore.Scrubbing just irritates the skin and won't really remove the scent.

...Last night I put in a casual bid of €25 (without shipping) on a bottle of Annayaké's Undo and this morning I received a response that the bottle would be mine for €30, shipping included. So I actually got it a little cheaper than what I was initially willing to spend. The only other bid was €20 so I was surprised I received a message back that the seller agreed. Considering it's 99% full, I think I made a good deal paying less than half of regular retail. :D

...In my experience the pricetag means nothing. I know expensive scents that are so incredibly weak and I know very inexpensive scents that are strong beyond belief.

...The Greek brand Korres does not test on animals, as far as I know.I remember a conversation with somebody about animal testing and she had a list of companies that claimed not to use animal tested ingredients:Ava LuxeBond no. 9The body shopCB I hate perfumeCTPA (Floris London)Comme des garconsFox Paine (L'artisan & Penhaligon's)FM Group (Frederic Malle)IllamasquaIlluminumJuliette has a gunle laboLolita LempickaLUSHPacificaPUIG (Paco Rabanne, Carolina herrera & Prada)Noma TerraSmell BentSanta Maria NovellaTokyoMilkBut I already see The Body Shop (which I remember was a little bit of a scandal some time ago) so I'm not sure whether the others are still animal testing free.

...These are absolute favorites, especially the first one. "Colonia Assoluta" and "Dior Homme Cologne (2013)". The Dior is very simple in its composition, I like that. But it doesn't really follow the classic ingredients as it features grapefruit blossom.I also appreciate both "Colonia" and "Mugler Cologne". Though Colonia smells a little bit 'dated'.Then there's one I received a sample of and which I'm not sure whether to buy a bottle or not. It's "Bergamotto Marino".

...One of my absolute favorites is perfect for spring, my beloved "Un Jardin Sur Le Toit"

...Rumor has it, they are just like other people apparantly. Made of flesh and blood, eat and sleep just like we do. Have feelings and emotions.

...Hayven:Hullo, Deefit!The conversation isn't as...fast paced as Fragrantica, but I like the features here to keep my collection organized. Enjoy your stay. :)Hey you! ;)Yes, I've noticed. But I don't mind contributing to the forum to make it more lively. But just like you, there are lots of interesting features. Especially the souks are really a welcome addition. Making it a lot easier to see who exactly has what for swap or sale. And who is looking for something. Very functional! :)See you around! ;)

...Sorceress:I also find the Dutch Masters attention to detail intriguing.This is not by Vermeer. ;)

...My favorite would have to be TF's Grey Vetiver. Clean and not as dirty as many of the others mentioned before. But that's what I love about it. It's a very versatile scent.

...I've tested it twice now and found it a somewhat warmer alternative to Dior Homme. With the addition of hazelnut, which I think compliments the composition well. Since I already own Dior Homme, I felt Valentino Uomo was redundant.

...Thank you! Right now it's a huge task getting my fragrance wardrobe organized, hehe.

...Just saying hi!My name is Dave, a 27 year old multimedia design student who has had a love for fragrance forever, but who has only discovered the deeper nature of fragrance about a year ago.I've come over from Fragrantica and I have to say this site will take some getting used to, but I already see several features that are still missing in my "other" fragrance community.It's nice to see some familiar faces around here! :D
