...Happy birthday Parfumo! You have done a great work in this website, and as you say, i love the friendly, open atmosphere... i am happy of sharing my passion for fragance with others like me, and i am learning so much in this site, not to mention some great people i have found here... thank you!

...I was also thinking of Montsanto while i was reading you, Lilium. By logic there is a lot of what you are saying, just money and monopoly... but thats me, give me a conspiracy theory and i am in! My question is, is it mandatory that every independent perfume house have to subscribe the IFRA regulations to sell their products, please excuse my ignorance.

...Interesting article Cryptic, and great letter, Sherapop. I agree warning is definitely the solution, instead of banning. One thing is restriction if the ingredient is, i dont know, endangered, fr example, that makes sense. But otherwise, put a label, a booklet if neccesary, detailing the ingedients. Anyways, the master touch of a genius perfumer is in the proportions, they all use same ingredients, for not talking about this machines that already tell you what does it contain...

...My favourite would be Guerlain´s baccarat Bee bottle of the Abeille series... http://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/Guerlain/L_Abeillehttp://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/Guerlain/Paradis_Interdithttp://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/Guerlain/L_Abeille_Aux_Ailes_Argent

...I dont think he will apologize... I feel divided, the truth is that lately i have met some very nice fragances by him... probably i will prefer to spend my money on other creator´s works...

...Wow that is so wrong, I wonder why, at this stage of his career, he prefers money over such a bad association. One thing is making a perfume for Kim Kardashian, who is only retarded, but a very different one is pleasing the daughter of a dictator. One should have principles...

...What a great article and photos (specially the foggy wood) I was thiking of Terre d´Hermes myself. Also Serge Lutens Feminité de Bois and Chêne. What about CB I Hate Perfume Wild Hunt?

...Do you know Boxeuses?

...SL Clair de Musc, for a pearly musc like the moonlight.AG Nuit Etoilée, for the chill of the night outdoors.Illamasqua Freak, for the little nocturnal creatures that dance under the moon.

...It must be flowery. Dior Homme, Vitriol d´Oeillet or Black Violet.

...Thank you so much Flaconneur! I will ask them... i also found out that surrendertochance.com also sell samples of this ones too...

...Do you know where i could find samples?

...Hello everybody! I am so excited about the 4 new launches for the private blend collection of Tom Ford (Ombre de Hyacinth, Jonquille de Nuit, Lys Fume and Cafe Rose) ... Not that i have ever been crazy about the former ones, but this Jardin Noir promises twisted dark florals, and two of them portray hyacinth and daffodils that are my absolutely favourites.Only thing i know so far is that they are out of my price range...unfortunately javascript:emoticon (':cry:')Has anybody sampled them already? what are your first impressions?
