Reporting back on Nahema now that I've worn it for about a month. I'm always fascinated by how my perception of a parfum will change with time. I'm smelling slightly different notes now -- hyacinth (listed in the ingredients, I think, and a definite note of vanilla. Mostly, there is a wonderful fresh green sent that lingers over the roses, which could be the hyacinth. My nose isn't well trained to sniffing out that note. Also, Aldehydes, but not the kind found in No 5 or Iris Poudre. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I know it's there (and it's listed as well). It's lovely and fast becoming a favorite.

I googled any scent with neroli, I just can’t get enough of it. Tonight I ordered a bottle of the Le Labo Neroli from Nordstrom. Have you ever ordered anything from ZGO Perfumery? Tons of perfumes. I tried placing an order last night and could not get it to complete. I was going to call today but forgot. We had terrible thunderstorms this afternoon, they really do a number on my back and the Chows hate them. The 3 of us cuddled in bed together, so it was a good day.
Cuddling in bed with pups sounds like a lovely afternoon! I love the absinthe perfume I have (L'Heure Verte) so I put absinthe in the LuckyScent search bar and ordered some samples of others. Same for suede and star fruit and mango. Hopefully I'll like the scents. Some are outside my comfort zone. But L'Heure Verte was outside my comfort zone and I love it, and haven't liked some perfumes that seemed well inside my comfort zone.
And some of the samples I wanted to try after reading about them on fragrantica .com The four samples I ordered from ScentSplit should be here Tuesday or Wednesday.
Have you seen Miller Harris anywhere? I know they went out of business and restructured, but have yet to come across them anywhere. I still love their Citron Citron ( lemon is my other love ) and Fleur Oriental.Cuddling in bed with pups sounds like a lovely afternoon!

I had an absinthe perfume by Harry Slatkin I just loved. Was called Black Fig and Absinthe. Fig is another love. I have had a search for it on Ebay, but only shower gel and shampoo have turned up. Hope springs eternal/
I just bumped on this very interesting thread! I don’t own many perfumes, but I love discovering new ones, even those I won’t wear myself.
About the fig, the Fragrantica list mentions my favourite: Aqua di Parma Blue Mediterranea Fico di Amalfi. I bought it for my partner and I happen to wear it as often as he does.Very selfish present
I like this Blue Mediterranea line very much and will probably buy the almond one very soon. I also like that they sell little 30ml bottles: you can try the scent for some time and if it doesn’t work for you or if you get bored with it, well, not a big loss…
thanks a lot, I have just placed an order too
There are 2 British brands are spoken, Thameen and Ellectimuss, so I want to sniff them
Yes. I own a bottle of Salt Caramel (in their old packaging, which I like better) and Lilacs & Gooseberries (this was a limited edition... someone on staff must be a Witcher fan). Blood Orange is great. Atropa Belladonna was the first fragrance I smelled back in 2014 when I was trying to find my first fragrance. I still think it's a beautiful one but my tastes have changed over the years. I prefer lighter fragrances than are more unisex.
I have been exploring Who Is Elijah, a line that's Sydney-based. They have recently started selling in the USA, so it is accessible for my Americans here. There's a new fragrance release at the end of the week. The rose-tinted glasses have come off after trying them for a few months. I find a lot of their fragrances not that well-rounded/blended, and I have to be in the right mood for. Nomad and His|Her are like that. Not worthy of buying a full size bottle, except my fave.
My favourite of the line is Muse, a skin scent that lasts a decent amount of time. I don't have a signature but I always have a designated fragrance I wear to work, and this is it. Muse is ambroxan based, so it's in the same family of unisex fragrances that Escentric Molecules do and JHAG Not A Perfume, but they don't smell the same.

I'm going to Paris in couple months, and I heard that Francois Kurdjian has a scent exclusive to the paris store. Has anyone seen/smelt this and can provide any details?
Who was looking for a rose fragrance? I totally forgot about Goutal Ce Soir Au Jamais. I think it is a gorgeous rose.
I had recommended Fracas, but that was before I tested the reformulated fragrance. If tyou can find an old bottle from the '70's, the tuberose will knock you out.

My Slava Ukraine from Meleg Perfumes arrived today! Love the packaging! Wooden box. Gold foil tape around the edge to show box wasn't opened. 
Notes: lime, melon, linden blossom honey. The opening is lovely. I can smell the floral linden blossom, and definitely has some honey sweetness. A bit sweeter than I'd like. I like sweet gourmands, but not so much with the floral perfumes.

Hopefully someone can explain to me. For fun, I purchased a scent that I loved 23 years ago. Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue. Haven't smelt since. Sprayed it on today and I remember it. But it smells different than many of the perfumes I have grown to love in the 23 years since. I am not sure if it smells cheap, watered down or simply like a very basic, non complex scent. I don't know what it is but it doesn't seem to be anywhere near what I choose now. It was created in 1996. I am super curious why I don't like it (besides the fact that my preferences have changed of course). Anyone have any insight?
