But I don't think I've ever heard of a case where the new formulation smells better than the original. I'm such a smell person, and lots of my memories are around smell. It makes me sad when something I love to smell is gone. My Tendre Poison is from 90s. I don't exactly remember when. It belonged to my mom, and she didn't want it, so she gave it to me. I've got about 1/3 of the bottle left and I totally hoard it haha. :)Yun, The Polish Hideouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475600639990995559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-37955393065023088242013-10-29T17:26:57.675-07:002013-10-29T17:26:57.675-07:00I remember you saying you love Tendre Poison. BOO...I remember you saying you love Tendre Poison. BOOOOO ON REFORMULATIONS!! I've heard they've already changed Hypnotic a bit, and I don't know why. I know the IFRA will go and outlaw certain ingredients because of environmental protection or particular sensitivities but HP is modern enough that I can't imagine what would "need" changing. And it's horrible because you fall in love with a scent and then you might never be able to get it as it was ever again. :( You know. I dread the day they decide to really mess with my Tabac Blond again. What year is your Tendre Poison, out of curiosity?Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405705989668452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-7758444826025158012013-10-29T11:53:28.036-07:002013-10-29T11:53:28.036-07:00My absolute favorite scent for the colder months i...My absolute favorite scent for the colder months is Dior Tendre Poison. I would totally wear it year-round, but I'm afraid the robustness of the scent might offend others in the warmer months. And also Dior discontinued it and the original formulation (of which my bottle is) hasn't been made for years, so I'll be sad once my bottle runs out. So I just spritz a little bit on the days I really need it for a little pick-me-up. :)<br /><br />~ YunYun, The Polish Hideouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475600639990995559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-26663565212539965772013-10-29T10:24:02.878-07:002013-10-29T10:24:02.878-07:00Black Orchid...

Woodsy and musky are almost always good, even better when together :)<br />Gardenia's a funny note for me, too. I'm fortunate that I'm not sensitive to anything, but it smells plasticky on me. Bummer, too, because I loved the scent when I was a kid.

For example, anything with gardenia will make me sick. I tend to prefer woodsy scents...anything musky. I love Kate Walsh Boyfriend because it's so spicy. I do have a bunch of fragrances but I tend to wear two pretty regularly: Boyfriend and Tom Ford Black Orchid.Cynthia (http://oflifeandlacquer.com/)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13744978144211398213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-72885410460800738952013-10-28T16:48:38.371-07:002013-10-28T16:48:38.371-07:00Marketing, shmarketing :) If there's one thing...Marketing, shmarketing :) If there's one thing I've learned in all my reading about fume, it's that, despite its ability to conjure feelings, images, and emotions, scent in and of itself knows neither age nor gender.

I'm certainly loyal to my favorites but it's been a while since I've gone out sniffing done new stuff and I'm kind of getting the urge, lol. I've come to the conclusion, though, that nothing will ever thrill me like my Tabac Blond, but sometimes I just get into these moods....Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405705989668452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-70398442893504123002013-10-28T10:44:24.926-07:002013-10-28T10:44:24.926-07:00Hahaha...Malibu Musk!! <3 It's been a long...Hahaha...Malibu Musk!! <3 It's been a long time since I wore parfum, so I don't know. You are gonna totally laugh, but some of my very favorite fragrances are the Harajuku Lovers by Gwen Stefani. I know they're marketed for teenagers, but my sister and I love them and constantly get compliments when we wear them, LOL...:PMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616388564831466598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-21873560891919982082013-10-28T00:54:59.799-07:002013-10-28T00:54:59.799-07:00Guess what - here comes another gal wearing the sa...Guess what - here comes another gal wearing the same scents year round ;-P!!! While I love to read about others taste in scents I am just too addicted to my two favorite scents and while I did try and buy others, they live a neglected life next to my two favorites that get bought over and over again. I speak of Profumum Roma Vanitas and Aqua e Zucchero!!

Well I'd figure something out, maybe to the tune of Malibu Musk ;) But seriously, if alcohol's a major irritant, I wonder how you'd do with parfum concentration?Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405705989668452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-40099997660209893212013-10-27T15:13:31.895-07:002013-10-27T15:13:31.895-07:00Everything that's not an amber one, LOL!!

Should we ever meet irl, I'll remember to not wear anything containing amber. And okay, I don't consider myself a fume novice by a long shot but I have never heard the term "white" perfume. What's it mean?

I have a very few that I love and know smell good on me, so I wear those all the time. I'm highly allergic to a lot of things too, especially "amber" perfumes, and can only wear "white" ones. If I don't have my bottle of Perry Ellis 360 Degrees, I'm NOT happy!! :PMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616388564831466598noreply@blogger.com
