...on the Front Page of Fragrantica are written by professional writers (contributors) who are paid.Parfumo works mostly on volunteer contributions.

...Your words fit perfectly, PontNeuf: Room to breathe!"Translucent" doesn´t mean "weak", "wishy-washy" or "undefined". KM, as well as AG, has some quite strong, very distintively formulated perfumes ("Ambre Fétiche" is one.. but regrettably has this special sort of frankincense I cannot cope with).It´s about leaving some space and air around the scent. The using person becomes not just the medium of the perfume, an object, but stays the subject of the scent.Elegance, as mentioned by AromiErotici, is another key-word to the KM-style. All KM-perfumes I got to know til now, have some kind of confident elegance. An upright assertiveness.I enthuse, don´t I? :P

...Louce:PontNeuf, I think, I know this "watery" character... I just call it "translucent" here. *g*KM sometimes appears to me as the US-Amercian version of... this "watery" character... I just call it "translucent" here. *g*KM sometimes appears to me as the US-Amercian version of Annick Goutal-Perfumes. :D Louce, come to think of it, she is THE opposite of Mr.Tom Ford :-) She leaves some room to breathe *laughing*...well, you know about my affinity for sticky...

...Actually I do not like marine scents. *g*But there are two that I tested, that I found wonderful, even if I wouldn´t wear them. It was sea and beach and coast wind, the rough climate of the European Atlantic:"AOD" by Lostmarc'h and (on a quite sunny day though) "Côte d'Amour" by L'Artisan Parfumeur.

...Louce, I'm convinced that I was one of the scent glove toting nobles using it to deflect the human stench that plagued everyone (no pun intended). I love...

...The same here, Flaconneur (with a question mark behind Woody and without Green).

...YES! That corresponds well with my Mecheri-experience!I needed some examples for getting an idea of that recognizable and unique "something" about/in KM-Perfumes. Now I LOVE and use very often "Loukhoum", "Mulholland" and (recently discovered) "Paname".Some of the sniffed KM-scents were no musthaves for me, but all of them are subtle and not too loud but in the same time expressive and distinct. KM has a style, a quite individual one. I could not recognize a KM-perfume "blind", like perhaps some JC Ellena- or Lutens/Sheldrake-perfumes, but I think that´s not because she has not a personal, recognizable style, only because I still lack practice and knowing.

...Louce :-) I noticed that woody scents keep away mosquitos and other unpleasant insects :-) A big argument for wearing die-hard orientals when it´s hot...

...Me too, I love the dark-sweet-heavy-smokey-autumn/winter-perfumes and I really don´t have such a big problem, for instance, using a hardcore-ambergris-scent in mid-summer.But there are some perfumes in my collection that aswell others, without such favours, would call "suitable for all seasons":"1826 - Eugénie de Montijo" by Histoires de Parfum,"Clemency" by Humięcki & Graef,"Original Musk Blend No. 1" by Kiehl's,"Musc Nomade" by Annick Goutal and"Five O'Clock Au Gingembre" by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal Shiseido.
