Isn't this the one with semen and blood notes?
Wicked mix I say, how does it smell like? Semen and blood?

Hmmmmmm.......

Does anyone have any idea where I can find some:

L'Artisan "Tea for Two"? I ran out and just realized it seems to be "out of stock" everywhere. Was it discontinued? Anyhow, it's one of my favorite scents.

I might have some laying around still. I'll look around for it tomorrow.

I'm a fan of the smokiness, but the tea note is off-putting for some reason.

I still need to order some Portrait of a Lady. Sounds like something I'd like.

[darkbydesign]

^^Cool. PM me if you dig some up. Yeah-get yourself some Portrait of a Lady. All the Dominique Ropion scents on FM EdP are great. Also, mix Portrait with CdG Red - Harissa and you'll find a pleasant combination.

Hmm, wonder if this will be any good.

From hintmag:
"Before designer collaborations became the new black, Yohji Yamamoto and Adidas were the original It-couple, forming Y-3 ten years ago. The two fashion forces feted their lasting partnership during the Paris men’s collections with the launch of their first men’s fragrance, Black Label, at the opulent Le Theater Saint Germain.

The champagne-swilling crowd, clad in both the renegade edge of Yamamoto and the sportier ease of Adidas, relished in the dark new scent. The spicy fragrance embodies a bold mix of patchouli, vetiver, tonka bean, cardamom, cedar wood, and black pepper.

“Ten years ago we created something that did not exist before, and we completely projected the future,” says Yamamoto. “Making perfume is a huge difference from designing clothes. It involves so many people and advices. But in the end both have to seduce the senses.”

$95 for 75ml (beginning in February) in Y-3 stores and Y-3 online"

Where do you guys buy online?

I know that ebay is a pain in the *ss since a recent court injunction in France, so what websites would you recommend?

[Dane]

I still buy 80% from ebay, the other 10 from fragrancenet, and the last 10 in person.

Lutens/Guerlain I only buy online, Chanel only in person. Mainstream from fragnet.

What are you looking for exactly?

[darkbydesign]

^^Same. I also buy ~80% from Ebay, then the rest from Barney's, Frederic Malle shop, and you can use the Basenotes.com forum, which is a lot like SZ, but for fragrances....

On basenote they recommend fragranceX and frangranceNET, have u tried them? I'm looking for YSL.

[Dane]

They're both reputable...but slow.

i gave cire trudon a 2nd chance and bought a different candle yesterday , this ones muchhhh better . i like it alot and am gonna try another one after this ones finished. not sure if my 1st one ( nazareth )was just bunk or if the candle was maybe old and sittin around barneys for a while ?
does anyone here have fred malle's diffusers ? either the fleur mecanique or the plain one ? ive been thinking about buyin the red box for a while , its expensive but i think the whole thing looks neat and i like the idea of it but i havent actually gotten to see or use it in person

Wearing FM Portrait of a Lady this weekend and I am in rose love. It's like having a rose tinted glow or aura, a little dirty (patchouli?), a little decadent (benzoin?) and the finest (Turkish?) rose I've ever experienced. Delirious and dark and I don't find it as feminine as the name would suggest.
