...Epices volees is the renaming of Arsene Lupin Voyou. Oeillet pourpre is the renaming of Lui. Herbes troublantes is the renaming of Un dimanche a la campagne. 

...NaughtyKitty:PBullFriend:FYI: There are more FB perfume groups than you can easily shake a stick at. If people want me to, I can arrange to add you to some.Really? I don't know too many of them. I can PM you my FB email, or you can PM me yours. I haven't encountered too many fragrance groups that were active.Same here. Once there was a topic on fragrantica, someone was asking about FB groups and there were hardly any replies, it seems no one wanted to share their groups with the OP. At last one person mentioned three groups. Out of curiosity I looked those groups up but they were all private.What I would be interested in is an international perfume group, where someone like me who happens to live on the other side of the ocean can also participate in swaps/splits etc. Are there any such groups on FB?

...Thank you ScentFan for these pictures. That is reassuring. But also a bit worrying that Montale are allowing these errors on their bottles. :?

...The same mangled text is on the bottom of my Montale Jasmin Full, which I purchased here in the USA from LuckyScent, a very reputable supplier. Eurochic:thank you for the info.I was looking at this site and had some doubts about authenticity. I was checking the Montales, and on one of the pictures of...

...NaughtyKitty:I just cannot even begin to express the anger I have for Fragrantica's corruption and favoritism of members. I basically got blasted (and threatened) by an admin (you know who) for questioning Fragrantica's policies. It was likened to "peeing on Fragrantica's rug". The only reason I stay is because I have friends there and it's difficult to swap otherwise. Although (as much as I dislike Facebook), I am thinking of just starting a Facebook and adding everybody on there. Ughh...this is BEYOND ridiculous!Yes, I saw that. The thread discussing censorship was censored, meaning: deleted.If you open a new FB group, drop me a line.

...thank you for the info.I was looking at this site and had some doubts about authenticity. I was checking the Montales, and on one of the pictures of the bottom of a box, I saw mistakes in the English printed text. I think it was the Chocolate Greedy. I haven't seen the Montales so I can't compare, but would a reputable house let a mistake like that slip?http://www.universalperfumesandcosmetics.com/image/cache/data/Abo%20Ali/IMG_0878-500x500.jpg

...and the frustrating thing is that it would be so easy to replace the old lady term with something as simple as this: the classic powdery smell of makeup.

...so I can't even write for example, "sometimes I feel like an old lady", it becomes "sometimes I feel like the Bank of England"? I have never felt that way...

...I also have a few bottles that I love to sniff, but can't wear."Chanel No.5" is only one of them. I think I may have a problem with aldehydes.

...newly added AA to my collection are "lys soleia" and "tiare mimosa".Lys Soleia is a beautiful yellow flower scent, so sunny and uplifting.edit:I forgot how to add links to the perfumes, I thought it was with the use of " ", but apparently not.

...You're welcome. The last time I was at the Shiseido The Ginza boutique, they didn't have the bell jar bottles. That was 3 years ago or so (I live in Osaka, not Tokyo). I doubt they have them now, because when I see a rare jar bottle pop up on the Japan yahoo auction site it always says "bought in Paris" and they get snatched up in a second.Have fun on your trip.

...my favourite is Ylang Vanille. It's sunny and soft, but also warm and comforting. I find it easy to wear all year round, and it's pretty close to being something like my signature.

...the list on the blog link you provided is pretty awesome.I would just add that Serge Lutens can be found in some department stores in the fragrance section, most often in the men's section, not at the Shiseido makeup counter. The fragrance selection in Isetan Shinjuku Men's store (different building from Isetan Shinjuku) is great.Regarding Shiseido perfumes, they are usually sold at Shiseido counters in drugstores. The counters in the department stores focus on skincare and makeup.here is a list of the brands currently available at Isetan Shinjukuhttp://www.isetan.co.jp/icm2/jsp/shops/beauty/cosmetics_brand/index.jsp;jsessionid=71188F129D41722427F3150229958955#fragranceand the list of brands in Isetan Men'shttp://www.isetan.co.jp/icm2/jsp/store/shinjuku/mens/floor/map_1f.jsp

...Triffid:I just received a notification from Tauer Perfumes advising that four new perfumes have been added to the selections available in the Explorer Set. These are: 01 Le Maroc Pour Elle, 04 Reverie au Jardin, 07 Vetiver Dance and Zeta. There is an introductory offer of a 20% discount on these ones until Feb 14.None are my personal faves but with the 15ml size, sometimes 'like' can be good enough to make up a set.Thank you for the information. I checked that 15ml sampler set a few months ago and didn't order it bc it didn't include Le Maroc Pour Elle which is the one I wanted most.Now I can go and order a set :)

...I'm ordering several leather scent samples and decants trying to find THE ONE that will bring me to my knees. Some started out promising but were too clean in the drydown. I like me some dirty with my leather :)The search goes on...
