Oh no! I really just place a bit on my wrists and neck - that's what I meant by "neat". :)

I would suggest if you wish to make an absolute with it, to get some organic food-grade grain alcohol...

I am in search of "better than eBay" pricing for Carnal Flower. I would LOVE to find a matte cap bottle, but the newer is also fine.

YES!

Iris Poudre is nice, however I prefer Xerjoff's IRISSS. As soon as my bottle runs dry I plan to just purchase straight orris butter and wear it "neat". I've tried IP in both summer as well as winter,...

Huh.

This guy really enjoys mind games LOL! I wonder why he decided to change the name? Will this be a positive in terms of sales, or will this be the demise?

That website makes my head spin -...

I'm with those who believe this new look is not a good one. But when has it EVER been? It's a childish web-design and reminiscent of older and dated websites from the dot.com boom.

It is an...

Guerlain Mitsouko EDC VINTAGE montre bottle - I was the one that opened the seal, and it is really nice! Oakmoss shines in this one!...

Hi,
I am on the hunt for a bottle of Guerlain's Encens Mythique in the original packaging - ideally, from 2012/2013. I do not care if it has the box, and partials are ok.

Thanks!

Just got my tracking for my Plumeria de Oris. :D

What are the notes for Aubergine Firs?

Divine would have been horrified. It's not kitch, it's tacky and unworthy of Divine.

He was unable to accept any criticism on the horrible bottle he helped create to supposedly honor the late Divine.

Punchable face, indeed.

I have much to say about that other site, but I'll...

Damnit! I thought *I* was the only one who knew LOL!

...the supposed scent of Cyanide?

I've never been around Cyanide - at least that I know of, but could it be that it's an innate aversion? Similar to how black and yellow are a signal of danger in...

Looking for bottles and/or decants of ORIGINAL HoM Blackbird (not the blue and copper bottle titled Black No 1).

Message me!

Is this from his amber titled "A" from a while back? I don't recall it being gourmand-ish, but it's been a while.

CONUS only, no swaps, PP F&F (or add 4% for G&S), postage included for orders $75 or more. The more you purchase, the more likely I will be to offer a great deal. Please see images for fill levels....

I cannot do Ore either - too sweet/cocoa on me.

I had hoped to pick up another bottle of Norne, Jeke, and possibly Sova, but the bank has revealed to me that they do NOT offer loans for perfume....

Is this type of sprayer used on other Amouage scents? Was it for the Non-magnetic caps?

Yep! And though it is niche, Xerjoff Irisss :) Aloof, cold and beautifully unapologetic!

It is still so HARD for me to understand how I ended up with not one, but TWO Zahd bottles when I first began collecting Slumberhouse - apparently, I had forgotten my strong dislike for it, so when...

90's

Went clubbing to try and block out some serious losses, so I honestly cannot recall what I wore - probably CK Obsession for Women, Davidoff Cool Water for Women, or Chopard Casmir.

I cannot seem to find anyone who has it listed for sale - and I've no idea how to price - it's a bottle w.o box and it's missing a bit - I'll try and post pictures

I used to keep them all, but now I find I have little tolerance for anything that takes of valuable real estate.

well, I guess I will have to decide between Norne and Jeke. Can't really afford both :(

LOL! And I'm a tuberose whore! I have worked with the raw material a ton, so this was truly shocking when I read up on it! I have done my best not to read much on the notes before testing - just to...

I remember being offered the beans when I was shopping for a bottle of something new in Nordstroms many years ago. Of course, I figured "when in Rome", but after delving deeper into the fragrance...

Much respect for you and I really enjoyed this story! Thank you for sharing. :)

This. This is everything that ran thru my grey matter upon reading this - and truly, I am sorry someone has to close shop - but its one less thing for me to feel like I should try.

My husband is right with you on that and all it came with :) He's WAY into the Matrix!

Thank you!! So cool to see all these lovely bottles and their descriptions again!

Thank you! I think it's the first gothic bottle/extrait that I am searching for - it's the creamy olive/coconut base I adored!

Rosa Resin and Mysore Lime are really great! I'm also enjoying Ash & Rose :)

What are your collective thoughts on the various versions of Pear + Olive?

I think I can recall most versions, and prefer the round bottle with marbles - or the first flask bottle. I'm definitely...

Doesn't look "gothic" to me. I used to have that exact bottle, btw :)

Awesome :)

Are you talking about the flask bottles?

I considered that, and I think there is always a need to be aware of possible issues with over-harvesting. However, I'm not convinced that is happening with these trees. I'm open to hearing actual...

No, there are places right now in Somalia that are not only growing the trees, but the trees are old enough to be punctured/create the balsam. In fact, I know Eden Botanicals is one US supplier from...

I read the article, and yes, it does read like "scare-titure" rather than a true study - reason being:

I love that you are a fellow procrastinator LOL! Great review! Makes me want to revisit the Rogue!

I was searching for rose wax, and came upon this company: https://www.essentialnaturaloils.com

Can anyone comment on experiences from them?

TIA!

I don't know how many of you know this, but Josh is rather reclusive, and so expecting him to respond to your emails is not very realistic. It takes a lot of energy for him to communicate with...

I definitely should revisit this classic!

This is gorgeous! What is it like? I have nearly blind bought it several times!

WOW! I bet it smells amazing!!

LiveJazz, the newer le Galions are definitely a shadow of their former glory. Not bad if you don't know the older ones, but unfortunately, I do. :(

oh yea....I'm in heaven.

wow! I'm glad I have the three bottles I do! I did not realize it had changed so drastically!

I buy organic food-grade grain alcohol - ethanol - and I have not had any issues with it, unless I over-dilute. But that's my error, and not that of the grain alcohol. ;)

Not a bad idea! Thanks!

I'm trying to stick with naturals/natural isolates. I want to have room to grow, but I do not need a massive organ - just would prefer to see what I have in front of me, rather than to continue...

I've seen so many lovely examples, however no actual plans. I really need something more than drawers at this point in my journey. :)

OMG! I so wish they would return to that!

Oh honey, vintage BdI is to DIE for! I only wish I had some left from a tiny bottle I purchased several years ago - talk about falling down a rabbit hole!

I wish I could find ANY decent scents at our local TJ Max/Marshalls!

I'm disappointed as Book was a favorite of my son (he's 11). Otherwise, the house was somewhat interesting but nothing to write home about.

will do :)

Cacio has already sampled the two additional scents - who do I send them too?

I repackaged the entire thing, as the box was in seriously poor shape, and I used parafilm to wrap each remaining vial - I did not include the ones that were completely empty. I cleaned the pipettes...

I sent a message to Cacio but have not heard back - need address :)

Who do I send to next?

Now I have Trent Reznor in my head singing "Down in it". Earworm...enjoy.

So excited to get to sniff these - thank you!!!!
