Just lurking in fragrant shadows :)
Thanks Zilpha - you too :)
Maybe it's time for another IFRA thread...

Spamming up the forum with dubious formulae might not be massively helpful to learners :(
Congratulations to Messrs. Ropion, Malle & Elbaz for producing such a modern classic in these challenging times
I was just fortunate enough to buy a wonderful sealed box containing a bottle of the discontinued Quadrille EdT on Ebay.
The sprayer is somewhat like a wayward shower-head (which would not have...
This is perfectly true. The different fragrances have different concentrations.
They're all different but were made at different times, so the 100ml is past the alleged 'expiry date' but still fine.
The older ones tend to be darker & richer, the newer a bit less intense but no...

I have both versions and the 'rediscovered' appeared to me to contain less of the Biolandes hydrocarboresine ingredient.
Adding some certainly brought it closer to the 'original'.
The original also...
Self moderation works for most but maybe not all here appreciate the potential benefits?
On this day, of all days, persecution is remembered as a very bad thing indeed by many but tastes will differ...
Happy New Year, kumquat & all:)
Happy 2015, guys :)

Presumably, items originally purchased from the Split Forum are still being classed as decants?

Definitely a case for trying with a decant first :)
If not requiring something truly personalised, I guess you could add some Hyraceum & see what happens :wink:
There's a very nice restaurant a few doors along ;)
And a lovely Art Deco building on the corner.
Looks like fun :)

I don't personally recall that MFD thread but surely, in any community, there are things/people one avoids and those to which one gravitates.
So, if a thread is not to one's taste then just...
p.s. - wishing you well for the dissertation :)

Sorry that has been your experience - it has not been mine here, or in life.
Couldn't agree more.
I don't live in the same country as many of the posters in this thread so may well be missing a cultural issue, but have always gone through life enjoying the company of...
Nizan - you really bring a load to this forum - your enthusiasm and thoughts have really provoked loads of very interesting discussions.
Please keep it up :)
Thank you very much for the sample pack (which has been passed on) Anna & Angelo :)
It was quite refreshing (although totally unsurprising) to find no traces of the industry 2014 signature - the...
Being serious :)
- the threads were incredibly long until recently but probably don't need starting monthly.
Good luck with finding some samples - there's a Swap section in the Marketplace as...

Thanks.

Sephora appear to stock Nest products.
Just had a look & there doesn't appear to be an option to send Group messages at present, although there is a member list for each Group.
It's all been sorted in this thread...

You're welcome - if it's items affected by the reductions, I'd be inclined to wait until Monday.
The RM website has a page about compensation.
Yeah, I got that the first time...
Really? :(
Maybe everyone try to think back to when they were 18?
Members here are usually helpful, anonymous1411 but they can't tell you what will work for you.
It may well be a good idea to go & sample...

Did you read the O.P. & the title, tracerbullet?
I think that we're only supposed to be listing our giveaways as it's not a swap thread atm.
There is a Swaps section in the Marketplace 'though...
From reading various threads here they apparently don't match.

Thanks for the info., cacio.
Have ordered a sample from Indiescents.
Thanks for the info., Grant - they're also now in stock @ Indiescents.
Aw, thanks- that's nice, OneManArmy77 - you'll soon start building up a bunch of stuff if you read enough threads here :)

Does anyone know which ingredients caused the problem?
Hi!
No personal experience of either but this thread may be useful :-

It's in the 'go advanced' option if replying :)
Perris Rose de Taif & Essence de Patchouli.
Not on the 'to buy' list but refreshingly didn't smell of cheap synthetics.
Pathetique and a bunch of samples, plus some older Malles & further back-ups of older L'Air de Rien.
Aw, that sounds awful, kbe :(
I do fairly often, but only nice ones.
There are some initial reviews on You Tube.
Well done, can't wait!
The recent study (unsure of it's status) confirming that more accidents occur on rural roads than motorways was a fairly spectacular waste of effort imo :)
Have you checked out the Fragrance DIY section?
There is a ton of info. in there and many experienced hobbyists & some pros.who are happy to help.
The issue of the young or otherwise impressionable Google user being influenced by some content may be a slight concern to some but ignoring threads which of are no interest is sound advice and many...

Maai is my favourite release for a very long time but I'd never actually noticed how long it lasted on me for various reasons (mostly being a bit absent-minded...).

Wow, so sorry to hear about all of that - looking forward to the reviews 'though :)
Take care of yourself.
No worries - enjoy :)
I can't confirm that Jubilation has been altered but Lyric, Ubar, Epic Woman & Gold Woman most definitely have been altered more than once over the years.
The current extrait Epic Woman is more...
There's always the option of obtaining older bottles secondhand from Ebay, etc.
Hi & welcome, elmenhorster :)
The Issey website doesn't show the packaging but it does appear to have been altered over the years.
If purchased from a reputable supplier it's unlikely to be a...
Agree, plus maybe try to sample some newer releases, particularly from the smaller, 'Indie' perfumers as their quality may often be better than current versions of old favourites.
Things with large molecules, like sandalwood oil, are often more noticeable in a breeze, in my experience.
Suggest checking out the DIY Forum .
- there are a lot of 'sticky threads there, such as this one :-

Have you looked on Ebay for the 'sold' listings?
Or Google?
Wow,that must have taken some degree of commitment, well done :)
I would have thought that spraying on paper would affect the results more than the client's race, but I'm just a random buyer....
Thanks for the kind words guys.
@pluran - still up for it if you are :wink:
Thanks so much to all of you :)
@Zilpha - apologies, wasn't ignoring you (we posted at the same time) - thanks so much & thanks for being so sweet & generous.

It was replaced on return from the Huddler platform by an Off Topic "sticky' thread in General, plus members may start Groups on fragrance or non-fragrance related themes.

There are current listings, most recently listed yesterday.

The problem imo is that the average consumer who has started on their fragrant journey recently will not know any different :cry:
Well done to all concerned :)
Sorry, no idea, hednic.
Interesting post, thanks, mumsy - I leave strips in out of the way places too (due to thieving dogs) and have also noticed this, particularly this year.
In future, I wonder whether we will...
