Hello lovelies!
Lots of posts to catch up on!
Maples Welcome to the perfumistas! I think, from your list, and especially from you mentioning Coromandel, you'd like some of the Tauers that we spent all winter raving about...L'Air du Desert Marocain, Au Coeur du Desert, Lonestar Memories are all warm and spicy and have a real wow factor like Coromandel does. If you like Chanel Chance/Coco/Allure then I think you'd like sandalwoody perfumes- Tam Dao by Diptique, good old Dune by Dior and Le Labo (can't remember the sandalwoody name) Leathers might also be up your street- lots of those around (I love Keiko Mecheri Cuir Cordoba, then there is Cuir de Russie, Chanel and Bandit by Piguet- the vintage is amazing, but the new version isn't half bad!) Also check out "tobacco" based scents, they might be to your liking- I like Miller Harris Feuilles de Tabac.
Tried Atelier Clementine California last night- it is almost 40 degrees here and we are wilting (and covered in mozzie bites, and I never get bitten) and I wanted orangey fresh. This one is odd, it starts off nice and orangey, then that aftershave twang kicks in. Not as nice as the neroli. Obviously, like the other Ateliers it lasted for about 8 seconds so it didn't matter that it wasn't very nice.
floofy- no the cat never came back. 
We are still making light for dd, but dp told me that he had 2 phonecalls about dead black cats on the road, one that the person thought was the Monday (ours disappeared on the Tuesday, but it's a bit close for comfort as the person couldn't quite remember) and the other last Sunday. A lady rang to say she'd found a dead black cat on the road and moved it. Dp didn't go and look (I couldn't) because as I said, if it's him, going to look is even worse somehow.
Auld We have to know who the popstar is! Give us more clues! And Guy Garvey would smell of Kouros. (that's only because all men should smell of Kouros in my world)
MrsMartell- 
for your Dad's birthday. Hope you are OK. And congrats for ds's prizes!
MrsCocoa I absolutely get the changing tastes thing- in the 80s I was all about the big statement scents- Obsession, Poison, Ysatis. I also loved vanilla based anything. Now vanilla turns my stomach unless it's very subtle, which it never is, by definition!
Three I wore Paris yesterday. I bloody love it. But it's another that sweeps me back to the 80s so that's why.
My Evil Fragrance Twin would like Flowerbomb, White Musk, Dewberry, Tresor
Haven't got any perfume on yet today as have a headache with this flipping heat.
