Hello, What a fantastic collection you have! I have a client who is interested in the Marta Roma by Battistone (80s). I am hoping to procure a smidgen from you so that I can do a scent match for her. I am not sure if you swap, but I have thousands of perfumes, many old and rare, so do let me know if there is anything you are hunting for. Kind Regards, Jana

Hi there. I sent you an email. Did you receive it? Thanks x

Howdy-
Just wanted to say I've learned a lot from your posts- not to mention how impressed I am with your gargantuan wardrobe... Keep sniffing and posting in good health.

Hi Joe,
Just wanted to say thanks for all the swaps, (and buying - which boosted my budget). I had such a great time. You are a great companion. I wish we could have spent more time relaxing over beers / food, discussing fragrances......it all went too fast. It was a real shame about this rail and metro/bus strike, because we would have had another evening and the Saturday morning to chat over perfumes.
I had a good trip back - discovered and bought the following :
Phillaes 30ml edt spray.
L´Uomo Trussadi edt 100ml spray, (the tomato leaf one).
Balestra Homme 50ml edt splash (older style like the pic in Scent Direct - not the basenotes pic....this one must be a newer fragrance).
Punjab 50ml edt spray.
Revillon Pour Homme 50ml edt splash.
Pierre Cardin Monte Carlo edt 50ml splash.
I bought 2 or 3 of all of these, so if you would like any of them as swaps, please let me know.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for the info. I wrote you a long detailed pm, but it seems to have vanished....so I´m sending you the shortened version. Will try to be at your hotel Friday evening 18.30 - 19.30.
I have phoned around 30 perfumeries on the outskirts of Milan, (with a friend of mine who speaks fluent italian - but no luck so far. I will keep trying over the next few days. David.

Hi, David.

Sorry about that. My message box has now been cleaned.

Hi noggs,
I´m trying to pm you re Milan, but your inbox is full !

Hi, Mad14. Good to hear from you! There are a few from Saudi here on Basenotes. There's at least one other expat like myself, perhaps two, and a few Saudi nationals. I don't know any of them, though, except through Basenotes.
