Blind Buys - Are you a risk taker? Best + Worst Experiences
by cItypark | Perfumes & Brands
...For me it is not necessarily an urge to blind buy but a "necessity" when one can not test the perfumes. Many perfumes I am interested in are not in perfume shops, yes I could order samples, but when in the EU it is annoying with all the regulations and extra taxes and not all online sellers ship to here... So, I actually bought many bottles blind.

Leather chypres
..."Trussardi Donna (1982) / Trussardi White" as others have already mentioned is a great leather chypre. It is not butch and the leather joins in with the oakmoss, really refreshing.

...Cryptic:"Alien" is completely unwearable IMHO.For me it is also unwearable - however, some of the flankers are really good.

...Memoria by Tony Moly (South Korean cosmetic company),seems to be a dupe of J'adore by Dior.I definitely get bergamot, pear and a bit of melon at the start.I can not post a pic, but here is the Vietnamese website, where it is still available. It is discontinued in South Korea.http://tonymolyvn.com.vn/chi-tietsp/c34p139/memoria-eaude-toilet.html

Jeanne Arthes Perfumes...
by cItypark | Perfumes & Brands
...I also like "Guipure & Silk". "Patchouli Sumatra" is good too, as is "Love Generation Rock" which smells like Givenchy's Ange ou Demon.I don't care for "Love Generation Arts", it is like Lady Million.

11 Iconic Perfumes of the 80s
by cItypark | Perfumes & Brands
...As a European I was/am not that acquainted with (all) US (teenage) fragrances, but I definitely remember Opium. I bought a bottle of Poison at a big department store off the Champs Elysées in Paris when it came out. I did not know Giorgio, Baby Soft or any of the imposters then. I would like to add Loulou by Cacharel, another big white floral - it just seemed to fit our lifestyle then (still love it now). At that time I went through several bottles of Woman III by Jil Sander, another love. This has been taken from the market to be re-released (50ml bottle for the price of the former 100ml...the original goes for ridiculous prices on ebay). Otherwise I remember Ferré (original) and Byblos, both much more sweeter.

Good movies you have recently watched
by cItypark | Off Topic
...Two good films, both made recently:L'homme qui voulait vivre sa vie (The big picture) by Eric Lartigau, it's a French film after an US novel, how often is that? Very beautifully filmed, great landscape scenes and a story of a man who has to change his life.The other film is Im Alter von Ellen (At Ellen's Age) by Pia Marais, 2010. This time a woman is changing her life after drifting. There are some similarities: both protagonists find out that their partners cheated on them - and life unravels.

Guerlain: L'heure bleue
...reminds me of Art Nouveau/Jugendstil, especially depictions of iris, which was a favorite flower then. Alphonse Mucha: Iris, from the Flower Series, 1895, litograph

Which masculine scents can be worn by a woman?
by cItypark | Perfumes & Brands
...Today I was wearing Basile uomo by Basile and I liked it very much. I think women can wear men's colognes very well in most cases. I like them for business and outdoors or for when things have to get done. So, in a certain sense they seem to underline masculine qualities, but you can also say that about certain feminine chypres; and I don't think it's running away from the own gender identity, it might just enforce an aspect of our own personality.I also have Aramis and the last time I noticed a bit of sweet in the heart notes, it seemed to be nearly better wearable than Cabochard. However there are some I don't like on myself, the fougère type maybe?

...I received a coupon book from a big cinema chain, that was the only reason to go.Hayven:I too watched a Tom Cruise movie, Oblivion. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. I also saw that and must admit that I liked it much more than I thought, perhaps it was the best of all the ones I saw.WWZ is only for hardcore Brad Pitt fans - otherwise avoid.Snowpiercer - I can not make up my mind, I liked Tilda Swinton. The film get's a bonus point for showing all the snow and ice though (it is always over 30 C here).Where I used to live, the Cinémathèque would always show films by Andrei Tarkovsy in August - I miss that.

How did you hear about Parfumo?
by cItypark | Parfumo Community
...Parfumo showed up in search machines in one or two searches. I also find the data base impressive.

Search machines
...When I look up perfumes, I noticed that parfumo appears only very seldom in the search results yet - but that is how I discovered this site. I like the variety of perfumes here and there are many the other sites don't have in their databases.
