Wrong notes

NorthernSky | Parfumo Research

... Maksy Back again :) Received a reply from the house/perfumer herself, it is indeed "Tuberose", and the notes in Parfumo's DB are correct. Amazing, thank you!

... https://www.parfumo.com/Perfum. .. lists tuberose in middle notes A few spaninsh speaking sources mentions 'nardo' which translates as Spikenard Strangely google translate translates 'nardo' as tuberose, not sure why, it's s totally different flower. https://sanchotena.com/product. .. https://www.theperfumerybarcel. .. May be worth correcting

Winter's coming, what is your favorite fragrance to wear.

NorthernSky | Perfumes & Brands

... I love Brecourt Farah As well as "Tan_d_Epices" I have been wearing Annayake's Miyako quite a lot, and recently "Le_Pamplemousse"- I love aromatic citrus in winter, I think they really compliment the atmosphere, the spices (cinnamon, cloves, ginger). But really I have so many other favourites, too many to list :)

How much is too much?

NorthernSky | Perfume Discussions

... It depends. If I'm at work, I spray one or two sprays of something light. If I'm at home, I spray all over copious amounts. If I know I'll be on a public transport, I mostly avoid overspraying, as I once spent a horrendous bus journey behind a guy who clearly loved his cologne, I unfortunately didn't :) So it's all about when and where :)

EXILED! The stories from Defected Fragrantican Members

NorthernSky | Parfumo Community

... OhVienna1 I'm in the same boat as NorthernSky -- I could put up with the new design to some degree (there were a couple of actual improvements in there, among all the clutter), but the poor treatment of the userbase was the final straw. Happy to be making the shift to Parfumo! This looks like a great community. I hope more people will make the move. I did not appreciate the passive aggressive tone of the most recent post from the owners, really shows how little they think of people reviewing and participating, so it was a no brainer to stop adding them clicks on the website they monetise.

... DonVanVliet Wow whats going on there ... looks like ppl don't actually like the updated design :D I don't mind the design now as much, but the way the owners treat users is pretty sad... Migrating my whole wardrobe and reviews will take a bit of time, but I am planning to cancel all of my fragrantica contributions from over 8 years and paste here...

...Ebay maybe... Or email Primark directly. Otherwise, once it's gone from the stores, it's usually gone for good, unless you buy second hand.

Serge Lutens - Section d'or - TO BE DISCONTINUED !

NorthernSky | Perfumes & Brands

...Not been up to date with the news, but Im not surprised. The price is massive, discouraged me from even testing. Now, this is not entirely out of line with their philosophy, Lutens said in an interview I recall that he believed perfume should be luxury, and he did not really mind if it was unaffordable, as it is not necessarily meant to be (I am paraphrasing now), but maybe udner Shiseido the sales became a bit more important :) Would love them to lower down the price on Gratte Ciels and release tose in 50 ml, £300 is still quite steep.

black cashmere (in oval bottle)

Black Cashmere - DKNY

NorthernSky | Perfumes & Brands

...I have both- the black stone bottle and the newer version, and find them almost identical, hardly any difference. Both are now discontinued, so I'd go for either if you can get them at a decent price.

NorthernSky | Perfumes & Brands

...For me, Loukhoum (all versions), Ume, Peau de Peche (if you can get an older bottle)... Quite a few other ones of you like gourmand scents, Lunea is lovely.

Keiko Mecheri - reformulations?

NorthernSky | Perfumes & Brands

...So this is something I was wondering. A few years back I tried Keiko Mecheri Peau de Peche when they were still in the black bottles, and it was a delicate, but still very distinct peachy smell with an oomph, it was lovely and juicy and creamy. I recently tried the same perfume in the new, 100ml clear bottle. Barely smelled anything at all, I had to spray around 10 sprays and stick my nose close to my wrist, and barely got any peach at all, it smelled more like a weak shampoo. Was it a badly kept tester, or did the scents overgo some tragic reformulation?
