Snowy Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I love freshly ground coffee - much prefer the proper ground stuff for the filter machine than the jars of instant though! Many years ago hubby bought me a bottle of YSL Paris for christmas (I did ask for it!). In January I discovered I was expecting no 1 son - ever since then the smell of Paris makes me retch. I never did use that perfume! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I think Joop Homme is a smell that I love - lasts for ages and makes me think of when I first bought it Joe bought me a bottle of Opium for Men for my 21st and everytime I smell it now I think back to our early days together A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 The firm I didn't mention specialise in fruity aroma's apparently, The Coffee comment was an example he used to explain what they did. I didn't think coffee needed any more aroma than it has anyway. I think more time should be spent making awful smells not smell rather than making nice smells smell nicerer. Kev.

Cate in NZ Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Sarah, I just looked at that site............ it's fab I'd love to try some of those fragrances, I especially like the sound of the rain/ garden type ones. I'm going to go back there later and try to narrow down my favourites to just a couple and then order them Do they really smell like they claim to? I love light, fresh, earthy type smells, and some of those really sound like they could fit the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Smells can bring back memories & emotions in a flash!My favourite smell is that of clean washing, when were in Keswick last week every day we walked past a laundrette & I amused my friend by inhaling the smell of washing powder & fabric conditioner deeply as we passed. I have a Yankee Candle with the fragrance "Clean cotton" in my bedroom. & the same in an air freshener in our car. If there was a perfume that smelled of clean washing I would buy it- anyone know of one?! We also have lavender to help us sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they are only from the US,then if you get one you are not too keen on they have a really high sell-on value on Ebay In fact when I first found them I searched on Ebay US site & bought 20 little sample phials from a woman who specialised in selling them like that.It was a great way to try them out, & was really good value too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 ...This UK Website... sell them. They are not cheap, but I imagine the postage will be less. I might get the Laundromat one......I love the smell of clean washing too.! My son brought some Lenor fabric conditioner with Febreze (sp?) when he came home from Uni and I washed a duvet yesterday and used a bit. I hung it out to dry and when I brought it in it smelt really lovely.....in fact I kept sniffing it! A bit like the boy in the ad with the underpants on his head I might dab some behind my ears!

Jules. Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Friday is my wash-my-bedding-day. I have cleaned my Eglu and had to keep passing the washing hanging on the line as I did my jobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 If there was a perfume that smelled of clean washing I would buy it- anyone know of one?! How about dabbing an aerial liquitab behind each ear? I love the clean cotton candle from Yankee. I have just found the tea lights too!! Have one on every room! I am a Persil girl!

Jules. Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I have just tried to order on the Demeter Fragrance US site- they want $40 to post to the uk The Uk company only wants £4- guess who will get my business. I still need to investigate the P&P on eBay for the US sellers, but it may work out the same as buying more expensively here but paying for less postage. Or.... I could ask my cousin in America to order it for me, the P&P for the US is about $4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Buying from a US seller on Ebay is pretty god value. Some of them are shipping very cheaply There are some from Finland too, which are shipping here for £2.99, which is a bargain Demeter didn't used to be so pricey for shipping. What I used to do was bulk out my order with as many as I could for the same flat shipping fee, then sell the ones I didn't need on Ebay - that would usually pay for the entire lot, my ones included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Another thing you have to remember when buying from the US is that customs may charge you extra once it gets here. I ordered a lot of stuff we we had a pub (lots of movie theme things) half of it got through customs with no problem and the rest of it got stopped and I had to pay quite a bit for it........Just be careful thats all as it can end up costing quite a bit more than you first think.
