...Maybe it was one of the Insolence flankers? They have a distinct violet note to them.

EXILED! The stories from Defected Fragrantican Members

Re: Facebook is the downfall of cilivilization...ok not real
... Apicius: NaughtyKitty: I have a Facebook, but I only use it to check up on my favorite perfumeries and online discounters. I don't have any friends on there, and I prefer it that way because I don't want to make a profile and know everybody's business. I'm an anonymous private person. I tried joining the perfume boards on Facebook and NONE of them accept my requests, presumably because I look like some sort of a spammer/troll without a proper picture and friends. It's kind of a stupid conclusion of them to jump to, but why else would they deny my requests to join their group? Kind of ridiculous that I can't join just because I don't have any friends, but whatever. I think that some facebook groups are closed circles of friends, so they would accept new people only if invited by somebody who is already in. This is true. I joined facebook fragrance friends but was sponsored by a member of Fragrantica.

Idle chit chat: what's the weather like where you live

Hayven | Off Topic

...It's a shame the wildfires are still an issue, Dulcemio. Been that way for quite some months, yea? I hope for rain your way too. In my neck of the woods, it is monsoon season so it rained off and on for two days. Yesterday morning it rained so hard that the dried up creek behind my home is now raging like a river. The ground here doesn't absorb water well so it just sloshes around on the roads and hopefully dumps into washes. Trying to drive to work was worse than a typical storm in Chicagoland. I welcome the rain as it brought the heat (105) down to the 80s.

I have been.......

Hayven | Off Topic

...I post more on Fragrantica nowadays. I like the gourmand gang section a lot so I hang around in there. I have been busy with work and watching what I eat. I have lost 15 pounds since I started doing so. My mom was right; I DID get fat. I had blinders on for a long time, but now I'm set to make things right again. Pipette, I let that happen a lot with my tablet. We are all guilty of letting the battery drain to the last drop of energy. :lol:

The Mother in law perfume, what is it and how do you respond

Hayven | Parfumo Community

...Not my mother in law, but my boyfriend's mom wears Amazing Grace. She isn't really into fragrances but got a 4 oz bottle from a friend for free.

EXILED! The stories from Defected Fragrantican Members

Hayven | Parfumo Community

... Dulcemio: I find Facebook overwhelming. There's just too much to take in, and very high on time suckage. I prefer a forum environment, and I don't want to share my particulars, if you know what I mean. :) Perfumewise, I think I'm done searching, just gonna enjoy what I have, so interacting with perfume professionals doesn't attract me. I guess it was fun while it lasted. Oh, it is definitely a lot. Also, I don't really like sharing my hobbies with the people in my life (sounds like I'm hiding a dark secret, huh?); but I've already been the butt of some jokes about my hobby, so I stopped talking about it and also stopped giving perfume away to non-perfume collectors. I do prefer forums myself.

...I was hoping for a sample program as well, Pipette. It looks like the brand is very expensive and they make custom bottles as well. Thair are of exclusivity makes me think that samples are not available. I only see some store-made ones made through LuckyScent; even so, they don't offer all of them.

...Given that facebook is popular and is trying to streamline everything into one (all your favorite hobbies and products, your social interaction, etc); it's just easier to talk about perfume on there than on a separate site for some people.

What are you waiting for in the mail right now?

Hayven | Perfumes & Brands

...I waited two weeks for a package from Haus of Gloi, an indie perfume and bath/body company. My apartment office never gave me the slip in my post box to tell me it had arrived over a week ago. So I went in and picked it up. Inside, I had a bar of soap in Litchi Milk tea, a small 2 oz jar of Mango Sticky Rice body emulsion (light lotion), White Blueberry perfume oil (5 mL), and White blueberry pumpkin butter (4 oz); all for $20 plus $5 shipping. Not too bad. I am also waiting for an order from Moonalisa (another indie company); 2 roll-on oils (5 mL) of Candied Lime and Cardamom and Black Currant Berry Tart.

Re: Hello Fragrant Friends
... PaulKiler: I'm so amazed by some of your thoughts...it clearly shows what skin types do, or don't do, and what people come expecting when they read certain notes... It's *really* interesting to read your notes... I've read notes for years, and when I get a scent in the mail, many times it's not at all what I expected it to be like... I am so amazed that someone got "Bitter Coffee" from Cafe Diem..., especially when others get hardly any coffee, and they get more sweet rolls to it. hmmm... But I must confess that I don't hardly use any vanilla in my scents, *THE* most popular fragrance element used in the World... I feel like this Cadillac Commercial, (Which the clip cuts off the opening question:) "You know what's the world's favorite Ice Cream Flavor?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v =9GTlPQyQ-gY "But if you're in the mood for something tasty, test drive one of these..." I find a sympathetic partner for eschewing filling our lives with Vanilla, in Cadillac, or at least for this one commercial... :-) Hope you all keep smellin' good! PK I don't mean offense for what I said. I wear saccharine sweet scents, so you can imagine my collection is full of fake vanilla sugary sweetness. :P It's a different kind of gourmand than what I am used to in the commercial world.

... Silverfire: Black bitter coffee sounds awesome to me! Hayven: I won a bottle on Cafleurebon of Violet Chocolatier and received a couple of samples. Since I'm more of a fan of the sugary, gourmand, and designer types...this brand wasn't my cup of tea. Violet Chocolatier was so dry, and Cafe Diem smelled like black (bitter) coffee. I do have to say they are very well-made though; Mr. Kiler seems to use quality oils and essences to make his fragrances. I think it would work quite well for you. :) It is a bit more on the masculine side.

...I am currently annoyed by how many topics are being recycled, as it has been brought up on THIS topic time and time again. Some of my replies feel like deja vu. I'm not the most technologically savvy, but it's really quite easy to look up a topic as fast as it is to post one. But I feel that people want a topic tailored especially to their needs and wants. I am guilty of that too.

Is there a new market in Brazil?

Hayven | Perfumes & Brands

...I think so. I have noticed a lot of new perfume releases are in South America first rather than in the U.S. I can't quote any specific perfumes at the moment.

The geography of scent - variations in perception

Hayven | Perfumes & Brands

...Perhaps it was the air quality that made your and your wife's fragrances smell different. I only assume where you visited had cleaner air than where you usually live. Old persistent troll is old; but nonetheless, I must address. Pure water in itself IS a chemical. It is a perfect example of chemistry in nature. Sheesh! No myth there.
