...AmarettoI assume that the sellers also do this so that you can come to their market and look at other offers. I also don’t like that ads are not deleted immediately after payment.In my opinion, it is better to discuss all the details of the purchase in private messages, because the correspondence cannot be edited, unlike an advertisement 🙂Yeah, I’m thinking that SOME do this! It’s a bit peculiar. Especially when I see an object that I bought last summer is still in the Souk. Why not just simply remove it? But you might be right that some do it so that you might look at their other fragrances that they’re looking to sell.But some might still have it up just until the deal is done and the package has reached its destination, and then they remove it. But yes, it is a bit odd to still have an ad up a long time after the sale is complete.

...GusziI keep sold items until the buyer received perfume for his/her reference and comfort. I think it’s kind of courtesy- keep original ad, pictures, price so that if there are any complaints we can both reference the original ad. Thank you for your input. That probably means that it is the norm to keep the ad up until the buyer receives the package. 

...CocopahHi!I've been wondering the same thing myself and to be honest, this has been a source of disappointment for me bc when I see a perfume that I've been searching for a long time, I get so happy 😁to see the offer only to click on it and see that it has been sold😔. I'd prefer not to have seen it at all! This is the reason why, when I have sold a perfume, I delete the offer from the souk asap, so yes, it is possible to delete it. Of course, I only speak for myself and don't know if there's a tradition of keeping the offer visible long after the bottle is gone. If so, can someone with more souk experience enlighten us?RegardsOk there IS an option to delete??? Then I really don’t understand why it’s left up. It must be annoying when people contact wanting to buy an item that you already sold a while ago? Thank you for actually deleting your sold offers, it is appreciated. There’s been so many times I’ve written to someone and I’m really eager to buy their fragrance, and it’s sold.. and then I forget about it, and after a while I start searching the Souk for said perfume, and I contact the same vendors again and ask the same questions. 🤣 but why not remove the offer straight away? Why leave it there at all? But maybe someone can enlighten us? I hope so! I’m not so active on Parfumo and the Souk (I only buy, never sell), so I don’t know if there are unwritten rules that I am aware of.take care!

...Hello all!I have a question I have been thinking about for quite some time, and I’m hoping someone might explain it to me. When I search the Souk and I find an offer there, the perfume is already sold and the seller has only put “SOLD”, or “Verkauft” in the ad. And sometimes the seller hasn’t even put in the ad that it is already sold. Why doesn’t the seller simply delete the ad? Is it not possible to do it? I am genuinely wondering if there might be a reason why sold objects remain in the Souk, since I haven’t sold a perfume yet I don’t have that kind of insight. Thank you!!

...LempiOlfactive Facet 401 - Lavender & Juniper Thanks! I’ll check it out!

...ROBERTOBPour Un Homme de Caron (1934) Eau de Toilette Thank you!

...HapaxDo you know Pour Un Homme de Caron (1934) Eau de Toilette? It's an old classic that is still popular today. Although it is a men's fragrance, I think it can also be worn by women. You should definitely try it if you like lavender and don't know it yet.I’ve never tried that one! Thank you for your suggestion. :)

...Hello all!I’m reminiscing about the lavender perfumes from the early 90s, and I’d love to find such a fragrance today. But I feel that the majority of the lavender soliflores I have tried recently are too artificial.Anybody who can recommend something as lavender-y as a 90s Yardley English Lavender bottle?? I just bought a vintage bottle of Pur Désir de Lavande and I am hoping that it can bring me that feeling of being in a lavender field on a hot summer’s day lol.Would very much appreciate it!

...That’s great news. According to their website they still have a perfume that was discontinued in 2022 or 2021. And if that’s true, I now feel confident buying it from them. 

...Thanks!

...Hello all! I don’t if this is the right subforum, but here it goes.Has anyone bought perfumes from cheprofumo.it/cheprofumo.com? What are your opinions?they have a tester for sale that is a recently discontinued perfume, and I would like to know the authenticity of that site. That store has 57,000 likes on Facebook, but that can always be bought. thank you

...Haha that’s great! 😄 

...I have a few strong vintage ones that I spray once in the air and walk through. If not, they would suffocate both me and my surroundings lol. But I’m talking about vintage Opium, which can be a bit cloying on me if I take too much. 

...I tend to spray the heavy ones once or twice on my chest, before I dress in the morning. Anything airy and light tend to go on my wrists and neck.

...Yes, that’s what I do. I’ve bought samples here in the souk and on Facebook. I would have never been able to try them if not for decants.edit: wait did you mean people’s private collections, or did you mean designer brands more expensive and exclusive private collections? There might have been a misunderstanding lol. But yes to both!

...Lala25I find private collections particularly interesting.Givenchy, Hermès, Yves Saint Laurent.It's original and accessible to everyone."Hermessence Iris Ukiyoé | Hermès" Dans Paris La Peau Nue Sans Artifice Le Vestiaire - Grain de Poudre Le Vestiaire - Lavallière Le Vestiaire - Trench L'Eau d'Hiver Heliotrope Eau de Toilette Héliotrope du Pérou Yes, I absolutely love private collections! I haven’t had the opportunity to try many yet, but I look forward to it. Thank you for the suggestions! They are noted now. :)

...It sounds good, @KathrynA66 !

...That’s great to hear! :) I’m looking forward to trying it for myself. @Cocopah 

...Thanks, @Cocopah ! And I’ve been wanting to try out Ormonde Jayne’s fragrances for a while now. Seems like a great perfume house!

...@Axeel998 thats great to hear! It’s definitely on my to try-list. It seems really interesting.
