Why not ask him:-) , moderator what are you wearing now?

This place respects freedom of the opinion or it just markets itself like that?

I see similarities, moderator lpp is very involved in defending the matter, why? Because she loves perfumes or lives...

Lol buy just chanel Bleu, instead of spending more money for less results

I am sure they wear amouage attars bought online lol

It is total waste of money to hoard perfumes, so my personal limit for another 10 years is 0.

But if i would give advice to novice perfume lovers i would say 50 bukcs........you dont need that...

The whole marketing thing is about not saying the naked truth, you can say whatever you want! It works magic and if it doesn't who is responsible? Noone.

The nature is the biggest and the oldest laboratory:-) that's why i like what mumsy writes.
