Fragrances with no information

...JMF is no longer made. I like the fragrance a lot, classic "barber shop" fougère type fragrance. Definitely has lavender, coumarin/vanilla, and oak moss notes to my nose, but also has a spicy note; I get some cumin for sure...an acceptable amount, as I'm not a big fan of cumin heavy fragrances. I...

Misterious Perfume, some help please?
by Oaks | Perfume Discussions
...Hello guys!I have a description of a perfume's botttle of my mother. I really would like to find it and give it to her for christmas.So, I know It's going to be difficult but I have to try, here we go:1. The bottle is yellow and cilindric with the base a bit bigger (like a cone, kind of)2. She also says is opaque, is yellow but not for the color of the perfume but the bottle itself3. The bottle cap had a yellow shappire (a fake one of course) in the top, in vertical (this is very rare, but I can't find anything like that).4. She remerbers the bottle from when she was little, so the perfume has to be from the 70's or earlier5. Another clue, the perfume was brought from Brazil to Spain (I don't know if this is usefull, but just in case...)6. It wasn't a handmade one or something like that, my mum says it was a very expensive perfume for the epoque And I don't have more information...If you could help, it will be awesomeThank you!

Chanel's Les Exclusifs reformulation
by Oriane | Perfumes & Brands
...but aside from the top notes, it does not seem very chypre-like to my nose. The patchouli is not a successful replacement for oak moss in my opinion. A high quality synthetic oak moss would be better than the patchouli-laudamum base in 31 RC. My advice to anyone contemplating purchasing any of the Les...
