I love the clean lines and simplicity of this bottle:

Hello all. We have the photographer and stylist here for a photoshoot so I think my day is going to be disrupted!

I'm wearing vintage Dioressence which is always delightful.

Have a good day, everyone.

So I tried the date site recommended on here but does not recognise this one. Sorry no photos as no camera.

But it is the old style ribbed bottle 50mls eau de parfum and a dab bottle!!!!! Yes I said a dab bottle.
The code on the bottle of the bottle is WL 5GA1.

Story behind this one. I attended an evening with Roja Dove when he still worked for Guerlain back in the 90's and actually won this in a large white box lined with silk and a body lotion in Shalimar too. The body lotion still is good even though dated use by 12/97. I keep them both still in the presentation box. Did decant a small amount from the edp bottle perhaps 10 mls at most.

I have the old ribbed bottle in 30mls edp which I have dated as 1997, with the code VL 25D.

Over the years now and then I try to find out about this dab edp Shalimar and draw a blank.

Since Miller Harris has been having difficulty with their US distributor (went bankrupt I believe) there have been loads of MH perfumes on discount at Bloomies, FragranceNet and ebay.

I have a few already that I quite like, namely:
Noix de Tubereuse (my favorite)
Geranium Bourbon (brisk, herbal, rose geranium for summer)
Coeur d'Ete (gentle little wisp of a thing)
Fleur Oriental

And I don't like: Coeur de Fleur, Feuilles de Tabac (straight patchouli on me) L'air Rien (gasp!) and Fleurs de Sel (double gasp!)

I'm eyeballing Fleur Oriental in pure parfum on discount.

Also wondering about Jasmin Vert, Fleur de Bois and Piment des Bais.

What do you think of MH fragrances in general? Have you tried or do you have any in pure parfum? I admit to being a bit taken by the pure parfum bottles...(is sheepish).

Has anyone tried these?

Please details if you have them....

Grand Neroli : has notes that include Moroccan neroli, Persian galbanum, vanilla, and orange flowers.

Orange Sanguine : is a wonderfully refreshing, especially for anyone who loves blood oranges.

Bois Blonds : has the highest essential oil concentration, so it's almost like taking a whiff of a fine scotch set beside orange flowers, incense, and musk.

Trefle Pur : will make you feel like you just came-out of a lush garden after you spritz yourself with this scent that combines bitter orange with notes including patchouli moss and musk

Oolang Infini : blends blue tea and bergamot with smoky tobacco flower and leather notes.

Good Lord, more to add to my list! They all sound wonderful!

The best rose thread got me to thinking (and wearing...after my shower tonight I am going to lavishly spray this on!) of one of my FAVORITE roses fragrances! It is the discontinued Zita from Paula Dorf. I bought my last couple of bottles in '04 at TJMaxx. I am not sure if this beautiful and unique fragrance can be found anywhere now? Does anyone know?

At any rate...it is dewy pink fresh roses. I really feel as though I am in a beautiful garden of pink tea roses in the early morning hours walking on verdant grass when everything around is still wet and the sun has just risen. It also has the fresh green quality of the heavily petaled peony. This fragrance has AWESOME staying power and is cultured femininty. I adored this and I have a third of my last bottle left

I loved wearing this in all seasons! It sparkles in the winter, and its' lush green quality cuts through humidity in the summer and feels cool and ladylike.

So sad that this is almost gone and I will never have her again...

Who loves this perfume!?

Not sure if I love it, but it's so different and refreshing. Why doesn't Clinique sell it year-round? Do they offer it at any other time than at Christmas?

(I'm beginning to see a pattern in my perfume loves - most have aldehydes. I'm such a novice at this.)

Right now I think Une Rose must be the best rose perfume ever. It is so lush, rich and beautiful.*

What are your favorite rose perfumes, and why are they your favorites?



*Notes are: Turkish rose, geranium, camomile, patchouli, vetiver and castoreum

Hi, I am wondering if anybody has tried the new Diorissimo EDP (available at Saks). I'd like to try it but unfortunately I can't sample it unless I order a full bottle online. How is it compared to the EDT? Many thanks!

I purchased two bottles of this YSL scent, YSL Homme Haute Concentration off Parfum1.com's website for quite a deal, two bottles with 20% off off totaling to $46.00 some odd dollars, including the shipping.

I have read the many reviews on this one and some are very good and some are not so good; but I have been craving very light, citrusy stuff lately. Kind of scents that will evoke nice bright sunny days during these rather rainy, dark cloudy days (of which I'm totally enjoying here!!!)


I am very much looking forward to trying this one out; the longevity factor on this one from my many readings on it seems like it's uber-strong! Which kind of suits me well. I am one for wearing scents make an entrance when I walk into the room.

So what say you on this men's scent?

I'd love to hear what you guys and dolls think about it.
