It was only after reading the Emperor of Scent that I had a focused way to explain why and some time later I refined my concept of a Neuropersona which is a mask comprised of stories and processes. A person can change masks many times during the day and when they where a mask the 'vibrate' according to the vibrations of the stories and processes related to the mask. Thank you Luca Turin!

I think it's great for its type, but not my type. Too peaceful with a slice of pineapple, I think. I always get compliments when I do wear it though and my husband loves it...

Wouldn't think of it as the south/tropics though. Hated Paradox, hate that Estee Lauder one he loves that won't come to mind right now. I like the sound of the Topaze too, do let me know!

I think I really have ruined several people's lunches with it. I have never tried Paradox or some of the other "questioned" choices. I just like the sound of this one, and the description. I notice Le Guide also describes Caron's Farnesiana as like "the south/tropics in winter" even though the notes would seem to be very different. I can't remember how you felt about Farn...

I still haven't smelled it, and it is not expensive, but still, too much for me to buy unsniffed given that my taste & Luca's rarely seem to mesh. Do let me know how it is if it makes it through customs...if you love it too, I might have to cave! Tigs, Thanks for letting me know!

Now they're only charging US $10 for shipping (not quite so bad as before). Of course, customs will probably try to nail me. Have you ever smelt it? I'll let you know what I think if I ever manage to get it... Hey R, looks like Histoire d'eau (topaze) is finally back at Imagination Perfumery… it appears to be the right bottle anyway.

Did you know that Luca has his own blog now? Click on "Perfume Notes" on the left column, under "Other Fashion, Beauty & Perfume Blogs". Hopefully some day he will make Le Guide available there, or better yet, publish an updated translation. Meanwhile, he posts frequent reviews on his blog. Hi Ellen, and welcome!

Is it still possible to have a copy of this book (in French or in English) ? If yes, it will be fantastic. Please, keep me posted and tell me the modalities to receive it. And if the digital is always working, let me know. Many thanks. Florence Hi René,
