There are tons and tons of new perfumes coming out every year. A lot of money is used for their commercials, and to make yourself known in this industry is almost impossible. But of course, you can always try.<BR/><BR/>I wish you good luck to follow your dream.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288903304921954913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716727.post-70889394616789047322008-08-22T17:03:00.000-07:002008-08-22T17:03:00.000-07:00Hi Adele,I'm not familiar with the other ranges of...Hi Adele,<BR/><BR/>I'm not familiar with the other ranges of du bois. Yes, the organic oils are very different than the non organics, that's because the organic oils have much more components, all having their own smell, which makes it smell more rich. But I'm happy that there are non organic materials, so I can build the fragrance the way I have in mind. <BR/><BR/>Fragrant wishes!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288903304921954913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716727.post-66334925168807505542008-08-21T06:22:00.000-07:002008-08-21T06:22:00.000-07:00Hi Jenny.It was really interesting to read your po...Hi Jenny.<BR/>It was really interesting to read your post. i am a comfirmed feminite du bois fan but due to the difficulty in availabilty have had to stock up on creams and perfumes (around 6 bottles at the last count) A friend suggested that the other ranges of du bois are nice - i wondered how you rate them? I am an aromatherapist and make many fragrances and toileties myself. Currently i am hooked on a mix of patchouli, neroli, rose geranium and ylang ylang - yum. Also i find the organic oils very different from the non organic. Thanks again for your blog - it was very insightful.

I'm not sure about the cypres and Aldehyde C16, I didn't recognize these in the fragrance.

I can't smell violet leaves though, these leaves smell green, however I can smell some sort of iris violet root note, I think they used different Ionones for this.<BR/><BR/>I hear that a lot that of people get tiered from ozonic notes, also from fruity notes. For me these notes are just notes like every other note. A rose note can be 'fake' as well, but I think it has to do with the fact that rose, jasmine or citrus fruits can be distilled out of nature and there for can be related to nature. Fruity notes like peach, raspberry or ozonic notes can't be distilled out of nature, maybe that's why they are associated with 'fake' or unnatural. All notes can be 'fake' or unnatural eventhough some of them can appear natural or can be associated with nature.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it has to do with 'new' notes used in fragrances. Ozonic and fruity notes are rather new. Although a fruity note of peach is used in Mitsouko as well, but this is a classic fragrance, we are already used to the peach note of Aldehyde C14.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288903304921954913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716727.post-71629023595401004552007-10-02T18:25:00.000-07:002007-10-02T18:25:00.000-07:00I've loved this, since it came out.Some of the oth...I've loved this, since it came out.<BR/>Some of the other notes present are: violet leaves, benzoin, cardamom,beeswax-<BR/><BR/>For years, my boys associated FdB, Mitsouko, and Femme with 'mama'.<BR/><BR/>Dolce Vita has a Calone-like note that turns me right off, even though the rest of the scent is nice enough.<BR/>I weary easily, of olfactive 'fakes'- aquatic or ozone ones.chayaruchamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889166567884475415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716727.post-3298012094314650292007-10-02T10:13:00.000-07:002007-10-02T10:13:00.000-07:00Yes, it's based on a note that normally only appea...Yes, it's based on a note that normally only appears in the dry down. I think that's unique. I don't think it was an easy task to create this fragrance. I like the scent of woods, I can see that a lot of perfumes that I like have a lot of woody notes, besides the woody notes I like green notes like Galbanum and heavy floral notes like jasmine and tuberose.<BR/><BR/>Which notes do you prefer?Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288903304921954913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716727.post-82405459152619939292007-10-02T03:50:00.000-07:002007-10-02T03:50:00.000-07:00Yes, I am well acquainted with Féminité du Bois an...Yes, I am well acquainted with Féminité du Bois and I really like it, although I must admit, I do not feel strongly enough about it to actually own a bottle of it. It garners a lot of admiration from perfume bloggers and while I too admire it, I find the drydown slightly too oppressing.Divinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14846908655432168778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716727.post-63579892720056580042007-10-01T11:45:00.000-07:002007-10-01T11:45:00.000-07:00Hi Divina,Dolce Vita is a nice fragrance though I ...Hi Divina,<BR/><BR/>Dolce Vita is a nice fragrance though I like Féminité du Bois better.
