    RIP Basenotes Marketplace - How can we get it right?

    Hey Basenotes community, I know I’m not alone in missing the Basenotes Marketplace—it was a great place for all of us to connect, buy, sell, and trade our favorite scents. However a couple of bad actors ruined it for us all. With it gone, I’ve been thinking a lot about what made it work so well...

    Missing Feature market section, will it reappear?

    hi, since basenotes went down and then was restored I noticed that the market section is missing, I was wondering if it will ever be restored since I found it very useful... obviously I am aware of the various past problems, but I believe that today they are more or less solved or am I wrong? cheers

    One reason why rugged, animalic, "unashamedly" masculine fragrances will not be returning anytime soon...

    A recent discussion on another thread posed a question: will we see a return of the sort of masculine fragrances that defined the latter half of the mid to late 20th Century, or are we stuck with "modern, sweet, metrosexual" scents? This is a topic that, naturally, invites a lot of interest and...

    Marketplace question - decants/splits

    Sorry if this is not the best place to ask, but I could not access the other forums I thought it might go under: I have seen something about selling decants/splits is not allowed (or so I thought). Yet I saw several "splits" posts in the Items for Sale section earlier. Now I hope I am not...

    looking for a spicey oriental

    Hy, I tried Guerlain Shalimar: the vanilla is a bit dirty much like in Jicky Kenzo Amour: boring, rough Lauder Amber Ylang Ylang: very smooth, pleasently synthetic, but 1 dimensional Lauder Cinnabar: a bit to thick, goes into the right direction though I'm looking for an oriental that...

    What ever happened to the marketplace that was available for each individual fragrance

    I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section, as I'm not quite sure where to post this...but there used to be something here (in the fragrance directory), where you could just go and see per individual fragrance, who in the community had it on their swap/sell/want list. I remember this...

    Country prefix for marketplace boards indicating location of seller/swapper?

    Is there any way you could have a country prefix (or even like a flag icon or something), for all threads in the marketplace boards, so people can select where they are located, or where they are willing to post to? Sometimes it's difficult to just do a search on your own country. A lot of...

    Masculine chypres?

    I tested Guerlain Mitsouko and Chanel Pour Monsieur on my 2 wrists the other day and I was struck by their chypre similiarity. Are there still many masculine chypres on the marketplace? I am particularly interested in the complete and original chypre structure (bergamot, light floral notes...

    Jo Malone Red Roses Chronicle: 4 bottles, includes mint, ice rose & honeycomb

    RRFC seems to have entered the marketplace without much fanfare (meaning, Now Smell This didn't announce it). There's one review at MUA, and the reviewer gives this $95 package five stars. The description: The Red Roses Fragrance Chronicle™ contains Red Roses Cologne 30ml, Moroccan Mint Leaf...

    Unable to post on the marketplace!

    Is there a way I can get in touch with a moderator to be available to post in the marketplace? I have a Red for Men by Giorgio and would like to post a link to my auction there. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120201645921&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=002

    Decant??

    I don't know what it means when a person has a frangrance on their "decant" list. I am really wanting to try out Green Irish Tweed before I buy it, but I can't find any place around my home that has it for me to sample so I clicked on marketplace for it. Just trying to figure out what it is...

    what in the world is "luxury"?

    Being a fan of "Un Jardin Sur Le Nil," I keep up with interviews with Jean Claude Ellena whenever I can. But I am confused by these ideas of luxury that keep coming up in articles such as "Perfume's master of minimalism" in the Los Angeles Times: examples: "We've gone from the concept of...

    Serge Lutens' Arabie: A Review

    Would post a traditional review, but the review boards still aren't working for me. (Is this a Firefox thing, or a Basenotes-wide thing? Anyone?) All I can say is, "Wow -- what a gourmand experience!" I feel as though I've just been drenched in treacle and rum and golden syrup and cinnamon...

    Sale Thread v Requirements

    I have an unexpected/unusual situation and I think I know the answer but just thought I'd throw out the 'extenuating circumstances' inquiry. I've apparently lost the ongoing struggle with chronic sinus issues and lost my sense of smell. (I've had unilateral anosmia for some time, and the last...

    Could not delete my thread in Marketplace!

    I tried to delete my thread in the fragrances wanted section in the marketplace and was not able to. As a supporting member I should be able to do this, correct? In the past I was able to delete my own threads in the sale/swap sections. Not sure what the problem is...but I titled the thread...

    How to request decants....

    and purchase them on this board. I've looked at the marketplace, do I just start a thread requesting "blank"? Or do I have to search the entire board to see who has the ones I want to purchase available?
