This is the first time I’ve ever posted but I’ve been following several perfume blogs for a while. I must comment, however, on ombre fauve. I loved it on my skin and found it more than remeniscent of fumerie turque (and with much more staying power). Got my sample from luckyscent and am PRAYING they haven’t run out – yes, indeed, why limited editions at all?

[...] re-consider the case of Bois Blond, the limited edition offering from Parfumerie Generale. Mrs. Ina has reviewed this scent in the past, giving it a lukewarm feedback. Why, o why?! Now I must step in and defend this beauty [...]

Ina, I’ll keep that in mind. I do try all scents at least twice, but perhaps that’s not enough. I do think the PGs are a bit on the “feminine” side for me though, they tend to sound more dark and masculine than they are from the notes…

Tove, the thing with PGs is that they need to be tried more than once. My impressions constantly change. I actually find Musc Maori quite interesting – chocolate and musk. I also really like Iris Taizo.

I’m glad you’re making these sound so mediocre, as I will probably never get a chance to try them! Come to think of it, the PGs always sound more interesting than they actually are on skin, at least that’s my experience with the handful I’ve tried. Musc Maori horrified me as a sweet, gourmandy “white musk” with not the slightest hint of animal.

Kelley, you won’t regret it! And if you do, there’s always eBay.

Cait, once I get a hold of a sample, I sure will. I think you should try Psychotrope. Something tells me you’ll like it.

Minsun, I know how you feel but it’s still worth a try.

Marina, exactly. Well, now you all know how I feel about Hilton and the like.
