Fourreau Noir makes me consider the possibilities of copying and repetition. Part of a series, variation on a theme? Uninventive, deliberate, derivative? ...

At first sniff I get cumin quite strong and maybe some nutmeg trying to cover up . . . no other way to say it, an awful stench of burning onions with some other odd camphor. Sounds strange and...

Cool, but sunny Tirrenco opens up with dry, bitter orange peel and a very stark ouzo (or, if you prefer, vodka infused with fennel bulb). There's an undercurrent of salty detritus, washed up on a...

Michael Storer, perfumer here. I want to offer 20 of you (females only please) free tester vials of an eau de parfum idea I need a test group for. Please respond only if you are a gal who truly might wear a wintery fragrance that is:

Powdery
Musky
Spicy in a slightly carnation direction
Ambery
Somewhat gourmand
A few other notes...

No strings at all, honestly. Just click my website (below) and click on "contact." Send me your FULL name and address and I'll send you off a vial in about a week. Please do understand that I can take only the first 20 e-mails that arrive due to the cost of postage, etc.

Hopefully someone will start a tread about it. I'd just like to read your honest reactions ;-)

Thank you all, Michael

Thank you... All of you!
23 of you responded quickly during the night (where I live in Los Angeles). I didn't have the heart to exclude three of you, so you are all "in". Just awesome. Thank you very much. Please remember when you get your sample that this fragrance is just an idea. I haven't even thought up a name for it at this point or may not run with it at all. I just want some feedback. I'll send out the samples in about one week. I hope you'll all take time to look at my website, too.

Oh, no! I saw the thread, e-mailed away, then went off to page 2 and saw that I'm number... 25? ::sitting forelornly with Chaya, debating whether we should drown our sorrows in Pink Sugar

I see I'm too late for the 20 cut-off, but I'll pressure Pellen

to forward her left over droplets to me. And I'm sure others can keep the samples circulating.

Look forward to reading your comments, ladies.

Woot!

And after I am done sniffing and analyzing, I will send on my sample to the first person to post these words:

Mia: SHOW ME THE FRAGGIE!

I'll PM the winner for contact details.
