@rochelleS  Thank you so much for the info on Bitter Peach/Wen.

Do you remember Tresor by Lancome? That was a nice peachy fragrance too. I liked wearing it in the 90's. I just love super heady fragrances. Flowers and fruits but I don't limit myself if I stumble across totally something else.

My all time fave is L'aire du Temps by Nina Ricci. A classic. I love Poisen in the original purple bottle. Cinnabar, Opium, Chanel #5, Panthere de Cartier, all of Jo Malone flower and fruits. Cashmire Mist. Tom Fords Jasmine Rouge and Rose Pr!ck. You can see I have a theme going on. lol

Fragrance is a "thing" of mine I just love it. My mom was the same way. We could talk and shop frangrance forever. I was with my mom at Macy's when Poisen first came out in 1986. The smell was intoxicating. We had to follow the scent in the store to find out what that was. There was a rep giving out peacock feathers with a spritz for your arm from the bottle that she was carrying and a small vial sample card. Mom and I both bought a bottle right there and then. I still love it.

Wow do we ever have similar tastes! I too wore L'aireTemps, still have a bottle of the original Poison and possibly Opium too. They're stashed in the basement where it's cool and dark. I wore Chanel #5 and Joy by Jean Patou. Also Angel, Prada d' Iris and Bulgari's green tea scent are a few others I recall. Chloe had a peach perfume way back in the 70's, that was pretty too. Not personally familiar with the others you mentioned, just by name.

Had a bottle of Jasmin Rouge in my Sephora cart last night. I really wanted the Cafe Rose but the 1.7 oz wasn't available.  Had a hellava time checking out and ultimately gave up. My second call to their CS today got it all straightened out but she said TF wasn't part of the 20% sale. That's not what I was led to understand when I'd  previously called. Oh well, another time. The Jasmin Rouge was a blind buy but I was intrigued by all I've seen and read. Same for the Cafe Rose, which is getting harder to find. I hesitated when it was readily available. I just ordered 2 samples of Rose de Russie from ebay. That smokey, leathery Rose sounds pretty good. I heard they're changing the name due to the geopolitics/war state of affairs. It's been pulled in retail. I may be developing a relationship with a local TF ebay seller. We've been in communication for almost two weeks. He'll contact me when inventory comes in and I'll do a local pick up. We'll see how that pans out.

I really think you'll like the Honey Peach edp. Excellent sillage and longevity. Last time I ordered I was sent dupes of the three different 10ml scents purchased. I called and was told they'd noticed some evaporation in the items. It was intentional. All of mine were 100% full.

@rochelleS I wrote you back but my post was deleted. I put a link to the Lalicious website so I guess that's what caused it. I apologize for that. I didn't know if we could post them or not, now I know. 

Après Ski is described as Winter Spices, Citrus Peel, and Teakwood. From what I read in the reviews, it's described as either the 'best scent in the world' or 'too masculine'.

@SnowOwl79 

Sorry for my delayed reply. I did see you prior post and the Apres Ski sounds very nice. Are you interested in Tom Ford's scents or others? I'm currently into TF but exploring samplers in Commmodity(thanks to @monicakm ) and Replica. I just ordered these from Sephora. 

I've looked around for TF samplers but at this time of year most everything has sold out. Saks is having a 15% sale with limited online choices. But they have this Rose trio available. I just received the Rose d' Chine and have some samples of the Rose d' Russie on the way. Good reviews on thehese both online and utube. The trio comes with a nice holder and the bottles are refillable.

I have to take my recyclables out so I'll be back when I'm done.

@Queen of shop  and anyone else who may be interested...

 I just saw Sak's has discounted Tom Ford fragrances. 15%. Limited online options but Bitter Peach is available. It's likely other brands are on sale too but I didn't look.

"Lost Cherry?"  That's a good one.

@rochelleS I am so tempted to try Lost Cherry from NM due to the fast shipping and easy returns.  Saks doesn't seem to have the travel size.  I just hope that it is not too heavy.  I just can't find it anywhere in my area to try it.

I get some of my samples from microperfumes. They have Lost Cherry.

I think I was up at that time but not on the forum.  Oh, no, I wasn't up.  I was dead to the world recuperating from an excruciating day/night.  On my way home from a (difficult) day with my parents, I checked on the dogs with my camera and saw both of them looking intently out the backdoor.  I changed cameras to the patio to see an unfamiliar gray truck pulled around back   I switched to another camera that shows the pasture and barn.  Barn door is open!  I holler (thru the camera) to get off of my property, I'm calling 911.  I did.  I've pulled off to the side of the road by now.  While I'm still on the phone with Barney Fife, my husband passes and pulls over to see what's wrong.  I screamed that someone was in our barn and I'm on the phone with the sheriff's dept.  He said, "it's Chase!" (our son in law).  Oops.  Get home to discover they had let outside dog out of the pasture.  I'm trying to get in the house with groceries and a broke knee while trying to keep the two inside dogs inside.  One escapes and runs off with outside dog.  They finally come home and inside dog is covered in mud and blood.  She cut her ear going under a barbed-wire fence (I think).  She bled like a stuck hog.  By the time I finished bathing her, there was blood all over the bathroom.  I'm still finding it on various walls between the back door and bathroom.  Feeding time.  She ate but older inside dog  didn't want his so Frankie at his too and immediately threw it up.  Thank goodness she was considerate enough to vomit in the middle of the 18" tile and not a grout line!  Barnie Fife shows up about an hour after I've called the sheriff's office.  He didn't get the all clear memo.  It sure would have been nice to be able to get in and out of a bathtub!
