I love their stuff, but I have notes that I flat-out can't wear and notes that I want to collect more of... and if I can't tell what's in there, I'm just not going to bite. A little story here or description there is okay, and so is a novel so long as I can skip it to get the notes. <br /><br />Though, knowing notes does affect how you perceive them, so perhaps if the creator was specifically going for a bias-less, holistic perception of the scent it may be okay... maybe. But they would have to be much more tactful than the way they normally are.Catanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-16637328915713522212017-05-18T11:47:52.891-07:002017-05-18T11:47:52.891-07:00I don't like "top secret " notes lis...I don't like "top secret " notes list idea :(. For example if I'm loking for rosy scent, than I would like to test more or less (there are a lot of variations) rosy scents and not test everything that is for the moment available. The same is when I would like to buy ticket for a concert I would like to know who and which music plays.

I don't care for flowery essay descriptions, but I do like when perfumers share their inspiration behind a fragrance. <br /><br />Oh and if you register with Çafleurebon you don't have to enter a captcha.

Stories to go with them are nice, but stories- unless grounded in very specific times & places- mean nothing to me. Laurie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815630032743705939noreply@blogger.com
