What makes fragrance different from most other industries and hobbies is that there's no way to measure or quantify them. Sound can be measured (EQ, volume, dynamics). Sight can be measured (light, color). Taste (there is a ton of public information about what we eat). But scent, no.
There...
I'm thinking of blind buying Orange Sanguine. I rarely don't blind buy fragrances, but this case is different. I've done my research, I've watched every review there is, I have an idea of how the longevity and sillage is going to be. And most importantly, I do have a picture of how this smells...
Am I the only one here who really loves linear fragrances?
For example, whenever I find a fragrance that smells just the way I wan't it to in the opening and that later changes into crap, I won't buy it, ever.
This happens to me all of the time. I don't know how many times I've been let down...
