They didn't mention perfume specifically, but maybe in the case of a perfume hound... :) There’s a NYT article just out that relates to this:

It's like herding rabid cats in the morning - very unpleasant! LOL! For your son (from what you've mentioned) I'd say chocolate croissants would make for better mornings. Not the healthiest way to make peace though!

Do you suppose it would work on a 9 year old boy? Getting ready for school is NOT our favorite time of the day. Aha, yes, then you need the giant vat size of Derring Do, LOL!

I'm sitting in a (freezing!) office under fluorescent lights and the fresh/ozone is saving the day! LOL! The D - Derring Do was especially heavy (?!) with those notes, reminded me a lot of CK1 from back in the day. Still, it put a bounce in my daughter's step this morning, a miracle for a grumpy 12 yr old getting ready for school! Perfume can be magic! :) Yeah, I can see if you don't like fresh notes they would lose their appeal.

And totally agree -- that is maybe the best sample packaging I have ever seen. I liked them but didn't fall in love with any -- A & B were my favorites, but both have fresh/ozonic-like notes and I'm not big on fresh notes. Haven't smelled the new E yet though. I did try them!

I just got my samples of these last night. I'm so in love with their packaging and presentation that I almost (almost) didn't notice the perfume! It was like getting a present from myself - gray sueded pouch with 4 cute slide-to-open boxes (each different and so sweet) and every tiny spray bottle wrapped in a different (handmade looking at least) paper. I'm wearing the B perfume today - it's lovely and has a nice grass note that I really NEEDED on this blah January day! My oldest daughter loves the D, it smells like men's colonge of course! Totally wearable for a woman though, even me and I don't usually lean towards men's products. So I'm letting her try that one today. I'm not in love yet, but I have a big crush on these right now! Best $12 I've spent all year (which included shipping and it got here fast!). R, did you ever get to try these?

I was surprised to see that Art With Flowers now carries Ineke as well. I forgot to ask how it was selling. They're stocking more and more candles, which would be okay except they take shelf space from you-know-what :-( I think that SdeL smells like 1000, both of which I admire enormously but neither of which I'd wear (if pressed, I'd choose 1000).
