...BearukIn my opinion this sounds like ‘trouble making’, along the lines of ‘I’m offended! I demand you respect my feelings!’I wear a fragrance called Noir d’Orient from Evody. If the user finds word oriental unacceptable, are they going to write to Evody asking them to change the name of their fragrance? Memo has a fragrance, Oriental Leather. Lalique, Oriental Zinc. Les indemodables, Oriental Velours. Will Parfumo ‘censor’ these fragrance names if they remove oriental from the fragrance notes database? If not, doesn’t that imply a double standard?Once again, can we stop telling people what terminology should offend them?   No one here is the arbitrator of what is or is not offensive.  Telling people they are "trouble-making" because they don't share your opinion about the term "oriental" strikes me as a far more problematic and hypocritical than those who find "oriental" offensive or antiquated or inaccurate.  You're actually asking people to "respect *your* feelings" while denigrating the feelings of those whose opinion differs from yours.  As a perfume name, I see no real issue, but as a fragrance classification, "oriental" is problematic for a number of reasons.

...Neonwhitehey everyone, I'm from the German perfume site. The topic affects me because I personally deal with languageI think a ban on language is far too exaggerated in this case."Orient" is a colloquial geographical term that doesn't offend anyone. Anyone who feels offended by a scent being described as "oriental" should first look for the problem within themselves.Can we please refrain from telling other people what is and is not offensive and/or telling people, who are offended by a specific terminology, they are the problem?  That would be great.General Comment: To me, "Orient/oriental" are antiquated and inaccurate, not only in perfumery but also as geographical terms.  It is definitely inappropriate and offensive to describe people as "oriental."   I think there are better descriptors, like amber florals or vanillic florals, but I am not keen on bans.

...EmbombI've been over here for a few weeks, moved all my little digital bottles and still moving my reviews. Elena and her band of idiots who literally push negativity and bigotry as well as climate denialism and other crazy conspiracy theories for ad revenue will no longer be getting my business. I am so glad i made this change and I look forward to continuing to contribute to this community and watching it grow! 😄 Welcome!!  Glad to have you here!

...RachelgA full bottle of Diaghilev Parfum . Haven't got a full bottle for obvious reasons.Good choice!

...These answers are great!  I knew I wasn't the only one who still believes in Santa Claus.

...@Anamandy You have to write Santa!

...VlyrEither Azzaro The Most Wanted EDP Intense or Guerlain L'homme Ideal EDP. Thinking also about Mercedez Benz Club Black. Between those 3 it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to decide! 😁Santa will decide for you!

...Let's assume everyone has been very good this year, and as a result of all that goodness, Santa is bringing you the fragrance you want the most but haven't purchased for whatever reason. What will Santa bring you? For me, it would be 32 Venenum

...I think it sound like a good idea!!

...You can check with the house itself, I think.  Email their customer service folks your pics, and they should be able to help.

...@Lempi I miss Serpentine and agree about the bottle.

...Pure XS for Her is a salty/sweet gourmand with a popcorn note, which doesn't fit the Edenic snake motif.So Scandal! this smells like gummy bears to me, and I find both botlle and name to be amusingly unsuitable for gummy bears.
