The Etc Etc of Perfumes & Fragrances

Love Hermès Ambre Narguile
which I own..

Recently bought Serge Lutens chêne
as I finished previous bottle, and it really is my signature scent, I love the way it develops, warm dark and sexy..^_^
:heart:
 
My boyfriend wore the 212 Sexy I gave him - it smelled like women's perfume! :shock: I'm seriously considering the possibility of keeping it and maybe giving him another fragrance.
 
has anyone smelled o de lancome? I'm thinking about using it as a summer fragrance but from the description it sounds too fruity/sweet.
 
Uh, perfume isn't makeup, but anyway...

Can anyone tell me what Oliva Kim (Opening Ceremony) says her favorite scent is in this style dot com video around the 1:10 mark? It's something by Commes des Garcon I believe. Help me help you help me pretty please.

Ok, not only it smells like women's perfume, it smells like crap too. At least on my skin. Bucks terribly spent. :doh:

I believe she says "the Comme des Garcons Kyoto scent mixed with Kiehl's Musk."
 
What perfume for a ladies in their late 40s?

I would like to buy a perfume for my aunt. But she is in her late 40s and I dont know what women at this age like :(

Any ideas?
 
My favorite perfumes DKNY Delicious, Chance by Chanel and Harajuku Lovers by Gwen Stefani.
 
I just started getting into perfume... I'm so far interested in Comme de garons scents.
It all smellls so good, and feels right. Im in ny and there's a cdg store in the city, but they dont give out samples (which is like fine, but in my mind, pretty lame actually) so I was going to get a bunch of samples (of cdg) from the perfume court, just to aquaint myself to there line... and help deciede what I might want to buy.
Heres the question...
The little bit that I've tried other perfume houses... I've been basicly unimpressed, but I have little knowledge to go by... big vauge question, but what might else captivate my senses? Probably on the refined, more unique end...
or put much simpler...
ahem... IF I LIKE CDG THEN I MIGHT ALSO LIKE...
 
... IF I LIKE CDG THEN I MIGHT ALSO LIKE...

CdG has a pretty large and varied catalog... nothing wrong with exploring that for a while, if you are liking your findings so far.

A number of their fragrances were composed by Mark Buxton, who has a pretty good resumé; he has recently composed three scents for Biehl that you might want to look into, named MB01, MB02 and MB03. :huh: He also has his own line now, called by Mark Buxton.

Several other notable CdG scents were composed by Bertrand Duchaufour, who is now the house nose at L'Artisan. He had already composed a number of interesting scents for L'Artisan prior to joining the company, my favorites being Dzongkha and Timbuktu.

For some reason I feel like you might also like the work of Jean-Claude Ellena, whose work is often described as "sheer", as in transparent; his minimalist style of perfumery might work for you. He has been doing the Hermessence line and the Jardin series for Hermès, where he is the house nose; he has also composed scents for Frederic Malle and the Different Company, among others.

Those are some good starting points for further explanation; have fun! :flower:
 
tang...
amazing. Really fun and informative post. :flower: back at you.

I'll look into all of that... and get back to you in a few months :lol:
 
Has anyone bought the Daisy Marc Jacobs Solid Perfume Necklace? I haven't bought the Daisy perfume and am planning to get it soon but they have advertisements of the perfume necklace in magazines. I don't know which one to buy, any suggestions? :)
 
^I haven't try perfume necklage, but I have perfume and it smells really great. At first I dind't like it too much (but bottle was way too adorable) but now I like how it smells. I feel myself so girlish. Maybe necklage is cheaper to try if you don't are so sure.
 
I'm looking for a light, everyday scent, and being the salty sea dog that I am, I'd like to find one that reminds me of the ocean. Has anyone tried Demeter's Ocean Fragrance?

I hope it's not too heavy. I'm used to eau de toilette to be honest.

Oh, I love Daisy. Light without disappearing and good to wear anytime of day...Cute bottle stopper too!

My favourite fragrance line right now is CB I Hate Perfume. Christopher Brosius is a genius of Proustian scope, his scents are completely unique, they put department store counters to shame (you'll never go back).

Fall in love, click above!
 
Does anybody know whether or not YSL Jazz / Live Jazz is still in production? Went to a perfumery today and they said it isn't produced anymore, but for some reason I cannot really believe it... (might be repression though).

:flower:
 
Even if production has ceased, it is still available at various online discounters/liquidators, so you should be able to stock up. *usual caveats about buying online go here*
