I stepped away from the forum for a while but remained casually engaged. Occasionally, I read posts and comment but I haven't been posting myself. I am surprised and disappointed in the decrease in engagement on the board but I am looking forward to rebuilding my connections.
That said, here are my most recent full bottle pickups. It's been so long since I posted I am pretty sure that some stuff is missing. My recent purchasing declined for a couple of reasons; first, I have shifted from a full blown acquisition mode to consolidation with less blind buys and random purchases. 10 ml decants is the primary method for trying new fragrances. But these are the bottles that I felt were worth acquiring:
- Falcon Leather Extrait (very excited to wear this in fall and winter)
- Lunar Vetiver (bought because it got rave reviews and I got it for $60.00). Trying to like it.
- Uden, consistently one of my top 3 fragrances and the only back up bottle I have ever bought.
- Blue Panda by Alexandria, because I was not going to pay $600 for the original.
The second reason my purchasing fell is that The Parfums just won't deliver the stuff that I order. I now set a 5-week timeframe for cancelling late deliveries.
