...The most 'feminine', in my opinion, is En Avion, which is an absolutely sublime extrait.

...Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier's Or des Indes. I love the 'metallic' facet of this opoponax reference scent. It wears so well on fabric like hardly any other I can think of.

...I was also rather smitten by Goutal's Hadrien Absolu... if there was no Sous le Vent.

...Delphine, do you have a Guerlain Boutique nearby?

...Sorry to come up with something 'a bit special' (difficult to get etc.), but I am sooooooo in love with Sous le Vent (Guerlain). It does it all. :)

...Habanita in extrait concentration!

...Racine is (maybe) all I ask for when it comes to vetiver-centered frags.

...I found it unspectacular and the 'honeyed' vibe really puts me off.

...My style is Maitre Parfumeur's Eau Pour le Jeune Homme, Nicolai's Cologne Sologne or Guerlain's Eau de Fleurs de Cedrat.

...I am not saying it is the better perfume, but I think the current Vol de Nuit extrait is a perfect modernization and I enjoy wearing it more. It's beautifully focused on jonquil and an oriental (vanilla-ish) base devoid of the drama the vintage has. However, the vintage is the quintessential Guerlain to me. It combines everything that made Guerlain what it was.

...French for sure (e.g. Burgundy is outstanding) - everything from wine to fish/seafood, desserts to cheese (chevre etc.).I also like Indian food, but I mainly cook it myself and actually less than I used to.

...Blasphemy!I prefer the new Tabac Blond over the original.End of Blasphemy! :lol:

...The original Tabac Blond and the vintage Habanita Extrait were definitely linked. The opening blast of the original Tabac Blond also clearly reminded me of Knize Ten. However, it is soon obvious that the original is loaded with animalics. It does remind me of the great Lanvin classics from the 1930s. If you deducted the florals (sweetness) from them, they could all - Tabac Blond included - be variations on the same theme. I also found Patou's Normandie slightly reminiscent of the original Tabac Blond. I admit I was a bit underwhelmed by the old stuff, maybe also because I am well familiar with the great Lanvins. Today Tabac Blond is so unique and there is nothing like it in its composition and blend (extrait concentration!). I only have a small decant of the old jus and I bet there are people here who hoard a bottle or two... :)

...Mouchoir de Monsieur, Jicky's sexy brother... it's just that he is more aware of his effect. :)

...Oh yes, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and the Hitchcock Hour... just think of the episode 'The unlocked window'... :oops: Otherwise I admit I am a great Golden Girls fan plus The Munsters. The thing is I hardly ever watch TV, so I have all these on DVD. ;)

...Sous le Vent

...I'm in a 'fundamental' chypré mood at the moment... I would want to push my current obsession Sous le Vent more into a dark dry hard-core chypré direction (base) without losing the brightness and fun of the top and heart - more oakmoss, a slightly more animalic touch plus labdanum partly replacing the patchouli and increasing the overall level I suppose.

...oh wow, great but overwhelming question for a film fanatic such as I am... but I try. :lol: (no specific order)Little MurdersLove and DeathDeath at a FuneralVertigo (I'm a big Hitchcock fan)Sabotage (I hugely enjoy the humor in Hitchcock's British films)Face behind the Mask (representative for quite some Peter Lorre films)Persona (or Hour of the Wolf)So many film noirs such as The Strange Love of Martha IversThe Anniversary (LOVE Bette Davis)Harold and MaudeNot bad for starters, but I bet I forgot some 'can't live without-s'!

...I went through what was three bottles (I think) of Pasha de Cartier when I was 12-16. :lol:

...Mouchoir de Monsieur, the better Jicky today! :wink:
