I'm on the search so that when I'm wearing perfume I can actually smell good instead of like a department store's perfume department anywhere in America, aka eau de Macy's, Neiman Marcus, or BigChain whatever. Boring! It's not that the big house scents aren't nice, (some of them) it's just, "Oh you went to the perfume counter, smells good," type boring. They're so corporately the same, a very safe and normal drone kind of ok, not really good. It’s like smelling capitalism and conformity as a base in all those scents. So I really appreciate your tips! Peace, Desiree I’ll look into these!

For natural perfumes, try Aveda. Otherwise, look for small niche perfumers, such as Roxana Illuminated Perfume on Etsy.com. Also try: http://naturalperfumers.com/ Thank you.

A joy to read. But the big question is...and oh so many people slam these things, and yes I’m going to go there...natural perfumes.... are there any good ones? And for that matter, what is natural or less toxic perfume anyway, is there really such a thing, not just mixes of essential oils? Can these natural perfumes compete in the "better living through chemistry" era? Any sources or places to look for "natural" perfume info? Well said, you’re a very good writer! A joy to read.

I agree with you about its chemical smell. Thanks for a thought-provoking review. I have never liked Chanel No. 5 and thought I was the only one in the world.

It's HIDEOUS, I never could understand its supposed allure. And the only thing that it's "timeless" about it is its longevity on the skin - which, for a perfume that actually gives me headache AND nausea, isn't a very good thing... (Why did I get it on my skin at all, you ask? By mistake, believe it or not.) This emperor has no clothes, ladies. Absolutely!
