First of all.....if you're reading this, and I complain about something that you do, please don't take it personally. Just a minor pet peeve of mine.

I've noticed a trend lately with reviews. People are writing their reviews based only on sniffing the scent in the vial, not putting it on the skin. This drives me crazy. Basically, it's like judging a book by it's cover. In my experience, most scents smell totally different, or they go through changes, after they touch a person's skin. I admit, when I go to a meet 'n sniff, I don't try on every scent that I come across. I smell some of them in the bottle and make a judgment based solely on that impression. But that is different from writing a review for other people to read.

When I read a review of a scent, and the person didn't actually try it on, I write it off as completely useless to me.
