...To this day I still remember the best compliment I ever got on a perfume. I was in third grade and my mom had sprayed me with Avons Charisma,which I adored, before school. The teacher knelt down, put her nose in my neck, and exclaimed "You always smell soo good!" I was very happy and it became important for me to wear perfume every day from then.

...Dlane1953:My first scent memory--not a brand fragrance memory per se--was old fashioned lilacs in our yard when I was two. The first scent I wore as a teen was Muguet de Bois, the cheap stuff, mind you, but nonetheless a sentimental favorite with me since it still reminds me of that state of innocence and anticipation that is part of being 15. I still love lily of the valley and wear Dior's in spring and summer.I wore Muguet de Bois in grade school and I still love it along with anything else that has Lily of the Valley. It was my signature scent for years untll Jessica McClintock came out. I think our earlier loves will always influence us.

...I'm rolling in the Blue Grass trying to finish the last of my old bottle.

...I had Arab friends in college back in the early 80's who gave me pure oud perfumes to wear. It was very strong but not unpleasant. I didn't need any more, it just was too strong. I do like the idea of it being well blended into modern perfumes.

...I have the middle version which is EDT. The Miss Dior they've gone back to is also very good so I won't miss this version too much. I love them both. The popcorn and strawberries version never held much appeal to me.

...Hi, I've been a member of various perfume sites. I enjoy learning about perfumes and trying new things. It's nice to connect with people who enjoy it as much as I do. I'm also an animal lover, gem stone and mineral collector, jewelry enthusiast, antique lover, like cooking ethnic foods, and collecting Fenton Glass vases. My hobbies and intrests change as I love variety and adventure but perfume is one of my main and consistent passions.

...Guusje:OCD? Color + size coordinate? Did Somebody call my name? LOL :lol: I did keep my samples upright in a shoebox lit filled with that green flower piece stuff (oasis), but at one point the shoe lits became to much.(I had 3, over 400 samples)So then I bought plastic boxes with compartments that I can make bigger and smaller: (and did a big give-away of unloved samples)Bottom shelf: (and yes: to the right is the collection of my son 5yo hihi)I have 5 of those plastic containers: 2 with samples to keep, 1 with "maybe's" and 2 with samples that can go :) The basket is full with samples that just came in and need to be tested.All need and tidy 8)That cabinet is awesome and really looks like something I'd love to emulate. Currently I have five perfume trays displayed and several drawers of boxed perfumes. This system would allow me to store all the perfumes in one place and in total darkness.

...I'm new to this site but so far I really love what you've done with the perfume collection. There are categories to keep track of minis, samples, tested, watch, and wish. The comments at the bottom of the page allow me to list fragrances that I own which are not in the database. The album for 100 photos is extremley generous and allows us to share our perfume photos or what ever we like. I didn't like the nine bottles per line but I love that we have a total bottle count listed on top. It's awesome that with the click of a button I can completly change the arrangement of perfumes and have a printable word list for shopping. That is the best feature so far.On the negative side, this site is not so easy on the eyes. I find the print harder to read. It would be better if it were slightly larger and darker. I have other thoughts on what's good and not good here but for now this is the main thing.
