Hi
Anyone out there watching Killing Eve?
What d'you reckon Villanelle would wear in terms of perfume?
Hypnotic Poison, maybe? Lolita Lempicka? I think Ménardo's oddball brilliancy would go down...
Hey!
So far I kinda feel like this season's a bit of a mixed bag, even more so than most (which is not to say I think it's the worst season, nor that I haven't been enjoying it enough). How're you...
Hey everyone
Any Game of Thrones fans around?
Thought it'd be fun to hear your thoughts on perfumes you imagine for the different characters
Particularly curious about Margaery, Cersei (in the...

Her ITG Top-Shelf is pretty great too!
Like most things to do with her (swoons in perpetuity)
So, vote above for your take on the best tuberose fragrance
I tried to keep it varied, but do let me know if you feel I've missed an important one
Rare case of my preferring the EDT
1 - Eau Sauvage
2 - Terre d'Hermès
3 - Guerlain
4 - Dior Homme
5 - Chanel
Just curious to hear your take/opinions on Dior Poison (or any of the Poison flankers)
Hate, love, like, indifferent, never tried? Original, Hypnotic, Pure, Tendre, Midnight?
Any special...
Your review of Drakkar Noir should really be their official tagline
Great stuff, thanks for sharing!
Loving your taste! And the stories, thanks for sharing
Like your taste, Ken Russell
Eveeerything about this is just amazing, please keep on being awesome
Love it
Also love the smelly co-worker element, somehow I feel like that's something a lot of adults have to deal with and somehow it always makes me laugh
Thanks! Please do!
Love this, love your taste in fragrances too
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Ah, please do! Look forward to reading that ;)
Hey
Yeah, the sex was fun; not sure what happened to him though, the thing kind of just fizzled out after I left the school and I think the last time we spoke I had my eye on someone else so nothing...
Thanks, I appreciate you saying so :)
Aah thanks ;)
Would love to hear yours if you'd care to share
Oh, do so love orchids!
Could you send a picture?
Can you tell the story of your life in 5 fragrances?
I'd really be super interested to read about it!
Mine would go something like this:
Estée Lauder White Linen: Discovery of my...
In my experience:
Less sillage than Carnal Flower, but more longevity
Same! Specially because I tend to love a "killer tuberose" so...
No. 19 feels like such a 1970s scent to me, love it
Ok, now I actually did gasp for air laughing
Nearly gasped for air laughing
Dior Eau Sauvage (checked at Sephora US online, as of today $95 for the 100ml eau de toilette)
If you don't mind "crossing the gender barrier": the biggest bottle of Estée Lauder White Linen eau...
L'Air de Rien (the Miller Harris for Jane Birkin) was all those things to me
And amaaaaazing
Still bummed they're not making it any more (also, hard to find in my experience, but worth it if...
Oh, used to talk a lot about fragrances with my grandmother when she was still around
She pretty much taught me everything I know about the topic and she was really great at... I'm not sure how to...
So, all of these (and many others) got one-star reviews in the Luca Turin + Tania Sanchez guide
Which of these do you think is best?
Which do you feel they were wrong about, which do you think...
If you answered with a particular formulation in mind (eau de toilette, eau de parfum, parfum, vintage, current, x batch, etc) do specify in the comments if it was a deciding factor for you in...

Quite enjoy it but not in my top 3 notes

Wow, yeah, cool idea

Consensus I guess
Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it

But maybe just take the photos to your hairdresser, they'll be able...
Oh yeah, I don't really fret about gender in a lot of stuff, certainly not perfume
My top 3 are all "women's scents" (Poison, Bandit, 19)
But for full disclosure I'm bi and pretty comfortable...
Have been very curious lately about these two Saint Laurent chypres from the past: Yvresse (Champagne) and Y
Want to order one to have for reference in my collection, not necessarily to wear, but...
Ha
I like you, you sound like fun
Anyone have any experience with the brand?
If so, do you guys think it's worthwhile checking out or is it just fluff tailgating on the name/reputation?
So I was reading this interesting Chandler Burr article on Diorella and other odd perfumes
And came across Luca Turin defining chic to him as:
"Chic is when you don't have to prove you have...
Can you imagine what would happen if they discontinued Shalimar?
I mean, there'd be riots on the streets
Honestly pretty much whatever floats his boat I could be into it
What do you reckon someone who's never smelled original Diorella would take away from it? Do you think you'd still recommend it, though?
It still has to be more interesting than at least half of...
I've never had the vintage, but quite enjoy what they're putting out these days (though maybe someone used to the vintage would be disappointed)
She sure was! Made me want to watch Diary of a...

Cool
Is there a way to transport it there maybe???
Yep, that sounds/looks just about right
Thanks
Oh, thanks!
That's a relief
By the way, love the picture; is it Louise Brooks?
Hey! My maternal grandmother's love of White Linen was also what got me into it
Nice to hear it!
Cool, always good to find something like that
Been a while since I smelled it but from what I remember I thought it was nice
Might just have to revisit it
Enjoy man
Some good choices, but Eau Sauvage, that I can't do without
I mean, could if reaaaally pressed to, but wouldn't wanna
Where do you guys generally find reliable vintage?
Thanks for joining in
Whoaa
Will need to catch up and read those reviews
Just to say though, yeah Tam Dao is A1
Ah, my forever favourites
Never changes, always Poison, no. 19, Bandit
But also White Linen, Eau Sauvage, Cuir de Russie, Knize Ten, Opium, Nirvana Black, Jicky, Lipstick Rose, Rochas Femme,...
That old favourite hoodlum Bandit

And perfume-wise Poison, no. 19, Bandit
Second this
Cool to see
Interesting review of the Dior Créations line, been thinking of Dioressence lately - might have to go out and sniff it
96342
(Kristen Stewart - Bvlgari Black)
96341
(Sylvia Plath - Carven Ma Griffe)
Heard from a salesperson at a chain store a couple of weeks back that it was
Generally they're not the best at giving out that kind of information, from experience
But still was alarmed enough...
Ha
Well, from what I gather Dior's pretty sly with reformulations and such (From Miss Dior Cherie to Miss Dior right under the rug?)
Generally, I'd say trust your nose
Though, yeah, would...
Thanks! Sure appreciate it
Dzing! Timbuktu, what's not to like
(To be fair, I only really know those more well-known ones so...)
Honestly, was pretty well impressed by Twilly
Oh, man, Poison (yeah, I feel)
Though to be fair, earliest memory of any scent at all is my grandmother's White Linen
Hey thanks! Have been reading reviews here for a while, finally took the plunge
Egoiste, by a landslide for me.
It's pretty straight-forward, but I thought this could be a fun game:
Name one well-known person/public figure, then name one perfume you associate with them for whatever reason. Feel free to...
My grandmother on my mother's side (my favourite) was the first person to teach me about fragrance (and a lot of other things), and she wore White Linen (her favourite) the most, though sometimes she...
