Comments on: Top Ten Scents of Summer http://scentzilla.com/2007/07/20/top-ten-scents-of-summer/ A monster perfume habit. On a rampage... with a wanton waft of sillage in its wake.

But who doesn't like dirty boys? So while I can't quite characterize it in the same way you smell it, I like that your take on it still fits as "dirty," heh.

Sorry but it does. Alan would know. “Cumming” smells like men’s semen. Sorry but it does. Alan would know.

As far as gardenia, you might try Kai, for it's simple but efficient green character, or maybe hunt down Isabey's Gardenia for something creamy and a little tropical. That's so weird about the PT and Paradise - dang. Sorry 'bout that! Heh. One deep rose I’d suggest Andy Tauer’s Le Maroc pour elle, perhaps?

I'll buy it in the dish liquid section now, ha, ha. Can you recommend either a deep rose or pure gardenia scent? You are just a marvelous source of information. I also tried Parfum1 as per your recommend and was happily satified. Scentiments has gotten less than they used to be. Ah well. There is no scent at all on Pure Turquoise, and just a faint trace with the Paradise. And the funny thing about this is my father who smoked unfortunately had a nose that just wouldn't quit on scent. He's the reason I'm a perfume nut. Thanks for clarifying the Joy situation. I’ll buy it in the dish liquid section now, ha, ha.

The copyright to the Patou house and its frags were swallowed up by Proctor and Gamble in 2001... Not sure about what's going on with your experiences with Paradise and Pure Turquoise. How frustrating that must be. Perhaps they simply are very short-lived on you? Or else you may be ansomic to some common element they share? Is there no scent at all, or is it something that is so faint as to be nearly (but not entirely) non-existant over time? Yes - summer is lovely here.

I have a question. When did "Joy" by Patou become part of P & G Prestige Frangrances? I ordered a bottle and when it came there where certain subtle changes. Then I look on the back of the bottle and it says "Made in U.K. P & G Prestige Fragrances". What am I missing? CHecked P & G site, it is part of their reportoire. Also, Alfred Sung's "Paradise" seems to have no odor on me. This also happened with "Pure Turquoise". I am really sad about this. Hi, hope summer is treating you well.

Which isn't so weird at all. In comparison, there seems to usually be an undue emphasis in the glossy media for tame, boring perfumes during the warm months: now THAT is weird! Qwendy - Oh, you've written up a very substansive list. I'll respond over at your place :) SS - Thanks, that gives me hope, I'll just have to dig around a little deeper it looks like! Stupid Netflix - lately I've been insanely dependent on them having all manner of films that aren't major studio blockbusters (mostly documentaries, but they do a good job of stocking the lesser known fiction films, too.) greeneyes - I think you'd find Cumming very quirky, but you should try the Sous le Vent for sure. I'm 99% sure you'd find it a very intellectually satisfying scent. Tom - AHHH! Please try it. It's so fun, and even if you don't like it, I bet you'd get a kick out of it. It's definitely off the beaten path for a celeb fragrance. Chaya - Ah, no worries, if you’re mad for those in the summer, I’m betting it’s because you’re mad for them period.

It's not on Netflix. I would hope that if it is for sale on Amazon (out of stock), then that it is probably subtitled. I’ve seen the movie a while ago, on French TV I think. It’s not on Netflix.
