Politically incorrect fragrance notes?
by Violaodorata | Perfume Discussions
...CardeaWe should all bear in mind that we are talking here about changing a term that is apparently part of common parlance, at least in some language areas.In my opinion, it is not helpful to discuss this at such an elevated level that the normal user is excludedLanguage should unite, not divide. Due to difficulties which mainly stem from different international language usage, we exclude the majority of those who just use such terms as they are commonly used in their region. Also we place them under general suspicion of being racist.@Cardea  Correct  USA - 2016 Mr. Obama dislikes  the  WORD  "Oriental"!You live in Germany, I am in Switzerland:  We both knew sweets in German  named:  Mohrenkopf or Negerkuss. Korrect: Schokokuss. In English: Angels' head, whipped-wiry, whipped-lean. (Canad.) kulin-whipped cookie. A kind of small chocolate-covered cake filled with foamy sugar.French:  tête de nègre.  The well known  Swiss Brand DUBLER did not change the name 2020. Not aviable in supermarkets!

Politically incorrect fragrance notes?
by Violaodorata | Perfume Discussions
...MrWhiteShould stop using this category asap.There is no scent which smells "typical Geman" or smells "typical Balkan" or smells "typical gay" or smells "typical African" or "typical female"..."oriental" has also many, many different facets.@MrWhite We have to find out a useful correct (English) translation for all people. You are German. I live in Switzerland. Main accords: "oriental" change to "ambery" is not perfect, I think.@SebastianM "Christ-mas scent" is also not perfect.

...KuraiViolaodorata@ Meetjoeblack: Now I have found out, that we need HELP. Tagging the Yves Saint Laurent Y fragrances!🤩The same Problem with Yves Saint Laurent Nu fragrances.@ Kurai: Can you help? Or do we need DonVanVliet? Hi I agree it can be tricky to tag the perfumes with shorter or very common names. It helps to add specific details to your tag search, such as release year and concentration. Here's a few YSL perfumes and how I tagged them:Y (2017) (Eau de Toilette)Y (2017) Eau de Toilette - # Yves Y 2017Y (2011) (Eau de Toilette)Y (2011) Eau de Toilette - # Yves Y 2011 toiY (Eau de Parfum Intense)Y Eau de Parfum Intense - # Yves Y intenseY Le ParfumY Le Parfum - # Yves 2021 (multiple returns, but Le Parfum is in the list)Nu (2011) (Eau de Parfum)Nu (2011) Eau de Parfum - # Yves Nu 2011Nu (Eau de Toilette)Nu Eau de Toilette - # Yves Nu 2002@Kurai Thank you very much. My mistake was this: ( ***)! I have tryed several variations! The old 'way', before we have had #

...Meetjoeblack@Kurai testing it out here, thank you! I did not see a drop down, maybe because I am in the U.S. site, but let's see. And I found Don V's post about fragrances, looks like it starts with a pound sign: "#"Tagging FragrancesUpdate: it works :)@Meetjoeblack : ToyToy for example: start with brand name. Also 'tricky' short names like Y - Yves Saint Laurent. Start with # brand ,than: Y (2011) Eau de Toilette for example does actually not work!Y (Eau de Parfum)Y Eau de Parfum .

Why Is This Site So Quiet?
by Violaodorata | Parfumo Community
...KuraiMeetjoeblackControversy:If we want this community to be more sparkling then support the reviews, statements and photo's by giving them an award , reply , ask..make it more alive!100% Agree. It would also be great if we know who the likes and follows were coming from, similar to just about any other internet forum. I would love to know who my likers and followers are, so that I can be sure to go to their content and return the favor, but right now there is no way to do that. The anonymity, I feel, is discouraging engagement. Imagine sending someone a Christmas card, and the recipient only being able to know that they received a card, but never who sent it. How many people would take the time to write that card?This exactly. @Kurai,  @Meetjoeblack  : November 2023. Three years later!  This exactly.  We have to train to give a support.

What do you have on your pizza
by Violaodorata | Off Topic
...MitchcraftVlyrBbq sauce, minced meat and chicken is my fav combination. But I must admit I love the pineaple contrast, especially if it is with blue cheese 😍Oh wow with blue cheese? I have never seen that before. Where did you get a blue cheese pizza from? Was it from like a well known franchise such as Pizza Hut, Dominos etc? Or was it from a super market, or even more interesting did you create the pizza yourself?As a lover of blue cheese this intrigues me a lot. Yay to another pineapple on pizza lover btw lol 👍😊@Mitchcraft : You are still on diet? Do not eat pizza with too much  cheap cheese. Blue cheese   (without pineapple)  on it I have had for the first time in a very good! Spanish restaurant. Several spanish saussages,  the blue cheese and honey! were added after baking. Great!Pizza Ruccola:  Ruccola, parmegiano, mozzarella, bressola and olive oil were added after baking.I enjoy self created pizzas!
