Royal Caribbean operates one of cruising's most intriguing fleets. Ships range from mid-sized, middle-aged ships which -- like Majesty of the Seas, for instance -- have received major updates, and state-of-the-art and on-the-cusp mega-ships, such as Freedom of the Seas, with its surf park and boxing ring -- to the two biggest ships in the world -- Oasis of the Seas and sister ship Allure of the Seas.The line is constantly innovating, and the three latest additions to the fleet -- Quantum of the Seas, Anthem of the Seas and a third as-yet-unnamed ship -- will form a brand new class: Quantum Class, which arguably sets the bar even higher. Quantum of the Seas (the first to be launched, in 2014) is bringing out Royal's wow factor with firsts at sea including a skydiving simulator, the first bumper cars at sea and North Star, a jewel-shaped glass capsule rising 300 feet above sea level and providing 360-degree views over the sides of the ship. It will also have inside cabins featuring real-time views of the ocean and destinations and the first single cabins with balconies.
While not gourmet, Royal Caribbean's food is usually good enough to please most of their passengers. Royal Caribbean ships offer the choice of traditional two-seating dining schedule or flexible dining for dinner, with open seating in the dining room for breakfast and lunch. Passenger who opt for "My Time Dining" have to pre-pay gratuities. Passengers can now pre-book tables in the main dining room online before they cruise.
The Windjammer Cafe aboard all the line's ships offers the popular breakfast and lunch buffets, and a casual alternative for dinner. On some ships, Jade, a special section of the Windjammer, offers Asian-themed dishes during the day and fresh sushi at night.
Most Royal Caribbean ships (exceptions are all the Vision-class ships but Enchantment of the Seas) have at least one alternative restaurant, the Italian-themed Portofino; many also have the Chops Grille steakhouse. In all cases, the cover charge is $20 - $25 and the food and service is a notch above those in the line's standard dining areas. Reservations are required.
The Voyager- and Freedom-class ships, as well as Majesty of the Seas, also have a seagoing branch of the Johnny Rockets fast-food franchise, with a $4.95 cover charge (and some menu items are priced on an a la carte basis). The Cafe Promenade on the Voyager- and Freedom-class ships offers Continental breakfast and around the clock sandwiches and other snacks; the Seaview Cafe aboard Radiance-class ships offers fast-food items like fish and chips at lunchtime and late at night. Sorrento Pizza and Compass Deli are new entries into the RCI brand name game. Compass Deli sandwiches/wraps carry a $3.50 price tag. Sorrento pizza is consistent -- never meant as a gourmet meal, it is fast and fairly good.
Daytime activities aboard Royal Caribbean ships tend toward the active. Every Royal Caribbean ship has a rock-climbing wall; the Freedom-, Voyager- and Radiance-class ships and Legend and Splendour of the Seas have mini-golf courses. All ships have vast main pool areas; the luxurious adults-only Solarium is featured on all Freedom-, Voyager-, Radiance- and Vision-class ships. All ships have a wide variety of spa and fitness facilities. You'll find ice skating on the Freedom- and Voyager-class ships.
Evening entertainment on Royal Caribbean comes in two types: splashy Vegas-style production shows that are among the most impressive at sea, and passenger-participation favorites like the "Newlywed and Not-So-Newlywed Game." There's also a wide range of musical entertainment in a variety of public rooms; the new Latin-themed Boleros on many of the newer (and more recently refurbished) ships is especially popular. If you're sailing on a Freedom- or Voyager-class ship, don't miss the ice show: it's one of the most spectacular and unique performances you'll ever see on a cruise ship. These ships even have parades and "street performers" in the Royal Promenade -- another unique entertainment feature not found on any other ships.
Accommodations range from standard inside and oceanview cabins, to standard balcony cabins (on most ships), with a wide range of suites, from mini-suites to huge Royal Suites with bars and grand pianos. On most ships, suite passengers gain access to a private concierge lounge (concierge privileges are also accorded to the line's most frequent passengers, Crown & Anchor Diamond Members). Freedom- and Voyager-class ships also have unique "promenade view" cabins overlooking the Royal Promenade; their inhabitants have a birds-eye view of the "city life" along this virtual indoor street, and of course the parades that occur several evenings per cruise. These unique cabins cost more than insides, but less than oceanview cabins, and along with the suites are often the first cabins to be booked up on each cruise.
Nobody should have trouble "connecting" on a Royal Caribbean cruise. All RCI ships feature Wi-Fi hot spots (cabins included), and the Freedom-class vessels have Wi-Fi throughout the ship. This CyberCabin service costs $70 for a four- to five-night cruise, $100 for a one-week cruise, and $130 for nine- to 10-night sailings. In addition, for 55 cents a minute, passengers can connect at Internet Cafes equipped with one to two dozen terminals, and at the more private business centers on the Freedom-, Voyager- and Radiance-class ships.
GSM and CDMA mobile phone access is available on all ships. Charges apply.
About Royal Caribbean International
The world's second-largest cruise line, Royal Caribbean International (originally Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines) began in the late 1960's as a consortium of Norwegian ship owners who wanted to get in on the rapidly expanding American market. Ever since its first ship, the brand-new Song of Norway (no longer in the fleet), debuted in 1970, the company has prided itself on introducing new shipboard innovations. After completing its first three ships (the others were Nordic Prince and Sun Viking) by 1972, Royal Caribbean "stretched" its first two ships and built the much larger Song of America in 1982. These early Royal Caribbean ships became the prototype for virtually all cruise ships since.But Royal Caribbean's biggest splash came in 1988 with the monumental Sovereign of the Seas, the very first mega-ship of the modern era. While only mid-sized by today's standards, at over 70,000 tons, Sovereign of the Seas was massive in its day, and completely dwarfed every competitor of the era. The most sensational feature -- aside from sheer size -- was the introduction of the first modern shipboard atrium, complete with glass elevators and a grand piano, reminiscent of an opulent hotel -- but, with a view no hotel could match.
Not content to wait for other lines to catch up, the even larger sister ships, Monarch of the Seas and Majesty of the Seas, followed in quick succession, along with the smaller Nordic Empress, the first ship designed for cruises shorter than a week. Royal Caribbean also bought Admiral Cruises, a company specializing in short cruises, and turned its nearly new Stardancer into Royal Caribbean's Viking Serenade after a massive refit. (To date, Viking Serenade, which left the fleet in 2002, remains the only ship to fly the Royal Caribbean flag that wasn't built for the company.)
By the early 1990's Royal Caribbean moved on to another challenge: designing ships for use outside its traditional cruising grounds in the Caribbean. While the company had sent some of its oldest, smallest ships farther afield to destinations like Alaska and Europe -- Royal Caribbean hadn't built a ship specially designed for worldwide cruising. This changed in 1995 with the introduction of Legend of the Seas, a spectacular new ship that brought Royal Caribbean into a whole new era. Smaller than the Sovereign-class ships, Legend was by far the most luxurious ship Royal Caribbean had ever built, with bigger cabins, more space per passenger and a wider variety of public areas and open decks. The popular shipboard mini-golf course was introduced, as was Royal Caribbean's now-signature adults-only indoor/outdoor pool area, the Solarium, one of the most impressive shipboard spaces that had been built to date. Legend was closely followed by its sister, Splendour of the Seas, and then by two pairs of slightly larger near-sisters: Grandeur and Enchantment of the Seas, and Rhapsody and Vision of the Seas.
At the same time, between 1995 and 1999, the company disposed of the four original ships, and replaced them with the new Vision-class ships designed specifically for worldwide itineraries.
Having established itself outside the Caribbean, it was now time for Royal Caribbean to turn back to developing its core market. In the mid 1990's, as the Vision-class ships entered service to rave reviews, the company began planning a new ship that would redefine the cruise industry as much, if not more than Sovereign of the Seas had in the previous decade. Code-named "Project Eagle," the ship began sailing in 1999 as Voyager of the Seas -- and completely blew away every mega-ship that had come before. With features like an ice rink, rock wall and indoor promenade, Voyager of the Seas was the most innovative ship design in decades, the first ship that genuinely felt more like a resort than a ship. Four ships would follow, and the Voyager class became the defining mega-ship design of the early 21st century.
Meanwhile, four Radiance-class ships were built in the early 2000's as a follow-up to the Vision-class vessels of the 1990's. Similarly designed for worldwide cruising, they are larger, with more balconies, dining choices, public areas and greater luxury all around.
After the launch of so many new ships, the company's formerly innovative older ships were beginning to look old and tired. Royal Caribbean spent millions of dollars to refit Monarch of the Seas, Empress of the Seas (formerly Nordic Empress), Sovereign of the Seas, Enchantment of the Seas (including a "stretch" of Enchantment) and Majesty of the Seas. Despite the refurbishments, a few ships just didn't cut it. Royal Caribbean transferred two ships to its Spanish subsidiary, Pullmantur, in 2008: Empress of the Seas in March and Sovereign of the Seas in October.
In recent years, the big news at Royal Caribbean has been ever larger ships. In 2006, the line debuted Freedom of the Seas, an enlarged, enhanced version of the Voyager-class design that introduced new features like a water park and onboard surfing to the array of Voyager-class amenities. Freedom of the Seas also narrowly reclaimed the title of "largest passenger ship" for Royal Caribbean, surpassing Queen Mary 2 in tonnage (but not length or width). The Freedom class also includes Freedom of the Seas' sister ships, Liberty of the Seas and Independence of the Seas.
Then, in fall 2009, the line launched the 225,282-ton, 5,400-ton Oasis of the Seas. A year later, sister ship Allure of the Seas debuted. A third Oasis-class ship will debut in 2016. At over 40 percent larger than Freedom of the Seas, Oasis and Allure once again mean that a Royal Caribbean ship is the biggest cruise ship in the world. (Only a few supertankers exceed the size of Oasis- or Freedom-class ships.) The strategy of increasing size with each class will come to an end when the 158,000-ton, 4,100-passenger Quantum of the Seas, the first "Project Sunshine" vessel, launches fall 2014. A sister ship, Anthem of the Seas, will debut spring 2015. A third as-yet-unnamed Quantum class ship will launch in mid-2016.
Royal Caribbean International Fleet
The 225,282-ton, 5,400-passenger Oasis of the Seas, which launched in December 2009, is the world's largest cruise ship. It's a whopping 40 percent larger than the previous title holders, Royal Caribbean's Freedom-class trio. Sister ship Allure of the Seas debuted in fall 2010 and a third as-yet-unnamed vessel will launch in 2016.The 158,000-ton, 4,100-passenger Quantum of the Seas, the first "Project Sunshine" vessel, will launch fall 2014. A sister ship, Anthem of the Seas, is set to debut spring 2015. And a third as-yet-unnamed ship will debut in mid-2016.
After Oasis (and under-construction Project Sunshine triplets), the biggest and newest ships in the fleet are the 154,407-ton, 3,634-passenger Freedom-class ships, Freedom of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas and Independence of the Seas. They feature virtually everything you could want in a cruise ship. The active set can enjoy ice skating, rock climbing, surfing (a Freedom class exclusive), mini-golf and more. Other amenities include three alternative restaurants, an indoor promenade with parades and more, and an array of bars and lounges catering to every taste.
Next-largest are the Voyager-class ships: Built between 1999 and 2003, Voyager of the Seas, Explorer of the Seas, Adventure of the Seas, Mariner of the Seas and Navigator of the Seas are 138,000 gross tons and carry 3,114 passengers. Though slightly smaller than the Freedom-class ships, the Voyager-class ships are very similar in design and carry most of the same amenities (a few things, like the surf park, are left out). While no longer the pride of the Royal Caribbean fleet, they still surpass every other cruise line's mega-ships in size and facilities.
The line's biggest and newest mid-size ships are the Radiance class. The 90,000-ton, 2,500-passenger Radiance, Brilliance, Jewel and Serenade of the Seas were built between 2001 and 2003, and are the biggest Royal Caribbean ships that can fit through the Panama Canal. They lack the indoor promenade, ice rink and some other Voyager/Freedom-class features, but offer the most balcony cabins in the fleet, and some of the most elegant interiors at sea. Unique features include the Colony Club, an elegant, British Colonial-themed nightclub that includes the world's first stabilized, seagoing billiard tables.
Somewhat smaller than the Radiance-class ships are the Vision-class ships, three pairs of sister ships. The first pair, Legend and Splendour of the Seas, were built in 1995 and 1996 respectively. At 70,000 gross tons and carrying 2,076 passengers, these ships are almost intimate by Royal Caribbean standards. Grandeur and Enchantment of the Seas were built in 1996 and 1997 respectively. Grandeur remains in its original 74,000-ton, 2,446 passenger configuration, while Enchantment was "stretched" in 2005 and is now 80,000 tons and carries 2,446 passengers. Finally, Rhapsody of the Seas and Vision of the Seas were built in 1997 and 1998 respectively, and are 78,491 tons and carry 2,435 passengers. While they have fewer balconies and dining options than the newer ships, they remain excellent modern cruise ships for Royal Caribbean's less-popular routes, often from secondary homeports.
The two Sovereign-class ships dominate Royal Caribbean's shortest, three- and four-night itineraries. Monarch of the Seas and Majesty of the Seas were built in 1991 and 1992, respectively, and are approximately 73,000 gross tons and carry over 2,744 passengers. While their cabins are smaller than the other ships in the fleet, these are excellent ships for shorter cruises. The class' namesake, Sovereign of the Seas, was transferred to Royal Caribbean's Spanish subsidiary, Pullmantur, in October 2008. Monarch of the Seas will share the same fate. The last sailing will be a three-night cruise departing March 29, 2013.
Fellow Passengers
Royal Caribbean attracts a wide variety of mostly North American passengers, mostly between the ages of 30 and 55 on the seven-night and shorter cruises, and 50 and over on cruises longer than seven nights. Cruises from the U.K. and Brazil -- as well as Mediterranean, Asia and Australia cruises -- attract a significant number of locals, as well as Royal Caribbean's usual North Americans. Seven-night and shorter cruises are also very popular with families, especially during American school vacation periods when the ships will often be filled to every upper berth.

Here is Oksana skating to " Meditation" back in '95:
Here is Oksana skating to " Meditation" back in '95:
Can't wait to see this program. I bet it'll become one of my favorites.
Those banners are so cool!
Can someone tell me how can I do a banner like the one on photo 15? Like what programs should I use, etc. Thanks!
Personally, rolling across the ice like that is a little too much IMO. Her jumping looks very awkward and she doesn't really have good technique there. But other than that, she seems very artistic and seems to take the "ballerina" interpretation to ice skating pretty literally.
I think Oksana is still the standard for "ballerinas on the ice."
Her carriage and positions are lovely. Not many skaters today can match them.
This clip was from a Pro cheesefest and not like falling at Worlds.
I am sure Yuna will come up with a beautiful program to "Meditation." I think it will be a welcome change after that "PDSTM" program which is cheesy even by cheesefest standards.

Here is G/G in a beautiful program to Meditation:
Eh. I looked at her previous competitions and her jumping technique was not much better even though she executed technically less difficult jumps by today's standards (no 3-3 combos or 3a, for instance). (The commentator in the video also said that other than the lutz, she executed the jumps better than the Olympics.) She does have excellent form and carriage. Still, I think it's obvious that skating standards have changed a lot from the 90s.

Maybe Kerrigan was a better jumper? I would have made the same bet if she was. Baiul does not look to me as that consistent of a skater (especially jump-wise). I also agree with Scott Hamilton in his chiding comments to the other commentator who said that artistry trumps the bad jumps or something to that effect. Hamilton is always asked to commentate on major ice skating competitions (like the World Championships, Olympics etc) over Wylie and other popular ice skating commentators. I doubt he would be asked so often and at such major events if his comments were that off. I actually find him pretty entertaining and agree with his comments most of time.
Last edited by Figure88; 12-21-2009 at 10:23 PM.
Lol, Scott Hamilton is a H U G E Oksana Baiul Fan, always has been.
What I'm saying is definitely not hyperbole. I'm a long time Oksana Baiul Fan since the first time I saw her skate at 1993 Worlds.
And as a long-time fan, I know of what I speak, and have evidence to prove it. Lol, yes, I actually have a notebook of all my favorite quotes about Oksana over the years, a majority that are from Mr. Hamilton, as follows:
And I think if you look at the history of ladies figure skating...I think you'd have to put Oksana Baiul in the top one...as far as artistic ability and how to deliver and put together a beautifully choreographed program.
Her beauty and artistry combine every generation of figure skating...I...this is so special...to have an Oksana Baiul to witness & appreciate...she is truly amazing.
Nobody in the history of the sport has skated with more beauty and artistry than Oksana Baiul.
If I were judging this event...6.0...
Flexibility, artistry, quality...it's just a joy to watch her skate.
Again she's a 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, in my book!
It's so rare but every now & then a skater comes along...who NEVER has to leave the ice...the athleticism is one thing, but...Oksana Baiul is so unique & special...I haven't seen a skater like this...since the late 60's...Janet Lynn.
She has the strength of her skating in artistry...her approach to her skating is unique to everybody else...in the skating community...and young skaters out there...if you want to be special...follow your own path...she has.
By the way, as I mentioned over in the COC forum last month, my favorite "Meditation from Thais" program is Oksana Baiul's from the Fall of 1995 (it's not on youtube btw). She had just flown back from Sergei Grinkov's funeral in Russia, and was a mess, but I think because of this she managed to deliver thee most heartbreaking/touching/poignant performance ever, which she dedicated to Sergei (the judges in the background were equally spellbound). As always, she created a mood, and didn't deviate. Her artistry truly comes from the heart; she knows what it's like to lose loved ones (e.g. grandfather, grandmother, mother, coach, friends, father) and it shows in her skating.
ps: G&G's interpretation is also a fav of mine, which I also mentioned last month in the COC forum. Young love, ah...
Now back to the exquisite Yuna Kim, I am looking forward to viewing this exhibition skate, Meditation from Thais is a favorite of mine.
Oksana retired from competitive skating after winning the OGM.
I don't think she ever trained as much after she retired and her jumps did suffer for it. BTW, how many Lady skaters try a 3Lutz at this type of event? Did the Lady skaters at FOI do 3Lutzes last summer?
Oksana is still a skater who will always be remembered for her innovative and balletic style. She had a real and lasting impact of Ladies skating.
The announcer's comments you refer to were from a cheesefest. That announcer was not a skater and was more than likely reading from a script.
Hello eveyone~
How do you do?
I am happy to join in Golden skate.
The interview was in Korean.
"Im aware that the Olympics are full of surprises and that one could happen to me." ===> This means she will prepare herself for unhappy result, because there is no knowing what the future may bring forth.

Radiation – brain - discharge
When you have radiation treatment for cancer, your body goes through some changes.
Two weeks after radiation treatment starts, you might have changes in your skin. Your skin and mouth may turn red, your skin might start to peel or get dark, or your skin may itch.
Most of these symptoms will go away after your treatments have stopped. Your hair will begin to fall out about 2 weeks after radiation treatment starts. It may not grow back.
Do not remove the colored markings on your skin. These show where to aim the radiation. If they come off, do not redraw them. Tell your doctor if they come off.
Hair care
If you wear a wig or toupee:
Skin care of the treatment area:
Ask your doctor for medicine if your scalp gets very dry and flaky or if it gets red or tanned. Tell your doctor or nurse if you have any break or opening in your skin.
Stay out of the sun, even when your treatments are done.
Do not put heating pads or ice bags on the treatment.
Do not put heating pads or ice bags on the treatment area. Keep the treated area in the open air as much as possible. But, stay away from very hot or cold temperatures and direct sun.
Do not swim during treatment. Ask your doctor when you can start swimming after treatment.
You need to eat enough protein and calories to keep your weight up. See also: Eating extra calories when you are sick - adults
Ask your doctor about liquid food supplements. These can help you get enough calories.
Do not eat sugary snacks that may cause tooth decay.
Most people who get radiation treatment begin to feel tired after a few days. If you feel tired:
You may be taking a medicine called dexamethasone (Decadron) while you are getting radiation to the brain.
Your doctor may check your blood counts regularly, especially if the radiation treatment area on your body is large.

Natural Acacia from our Reclamation Plank Collection by Heritage Woodcraft is a hand-scraped (7-7/8") wide-plank solid acacia hardwood flooring. It's solid construction and wide plank width is achieved by finger-joining three sections of solid acacia hardwood together prior to the hand-sculpting of the plank. Once distressed, these three planks become one visually stunning plank. Entirely hand-scraped using three techniques: soft sculpting, edge distressing and chisel carving. Each plank unfolds its own story in exquisite sculpting design. It can be nailed down over wooden sub-floors.

I discover Linux with Mandrake 7.0, to use the Intel Fortran Compiler which is free for non commercial usage ...
I move to Fedora 1, then FC2-3-4, and then I switch to Ubuntu Breezy Badger.
Right now on Gutsy/Linux Mint.
SuSE 6.1 was my first Linux distro but at the time (must have been around 1998) I never got it to working the way I wished. Basically I was scared off by the effort to find my way into configuring the system on a "text-file-editing" basis being an AMIGA user since 1989 and fixed on a more GUIficated approach.
My first "working" installation (meaning working satisfactory according to my needs) was a SuSE 8.1 and I've stuck with SuSE ever since. ATM I am runnning a SuSE 10.0 on a 6-year-old Mitac notebook, a SuSE 10.1 on a three-year-old Uniwill notebook and openSuSE 10.3 on a DELL Vostro 1500 notebook and on my workstation (self-built). All of them have a parallel installation of Win XP pro exclusively for gaming purposes.

Right now on Gutsy/Linux Mint.
Mandrake was the first Linux distro I messed with. I was using BeOS before I used Linux for the first time though.
My first attempt to install and see Linux: Red Hat 5, around 1999, on a 486 DX4.
My first working Linux: Corel Linux
My first operative Linux: Mandrake 9.2
Since then, ever Mandrake/Mandriva as main home desktop since 2005LE. Tested some Suse's and found them slower that Mandy, Ubuntu (found slow startup, don't like the sudo approach and I'm not a GNOME fan, poor KDE support), PCLinuxOS (fine, but poor Spanish language support), GoboLinux (?) and Gentoo (mmhh, maybe someday will give another try, then I had only a 256 KB ADSL).
Conectiva linux 4.0 was my frist try.(Conectiva+Mandrake=Mandriva), later I tried:
Red Hat 6.2
Slackware 7.0
SuSe (don't remember the version, was the stable one in 2002, 7.0 I guess)
Debian 3.0 woddy, and I felt in love since then!!!
Today I still use Debian ;-)
my first linux contact was in 1995 with Slackware v3.0.0 (kernel 1.2.13); first home server was a RH 7.1 and first production server was a Slackware 8.1 (mail+web server, kernel 2.4.18) in y2k
most used distros were: Mandrake 8.2, Slackware 8.0 and 9.1, SuSE pro 8.1 and 9.3, Debian sarge 3.1 and etch 4.0, most used kernel versions were 2.2.19, 2.4.18, 2.4.29, 22.214.171.124, 188.8.131.52 and 126.96.36.199;
also used for a while Debian potato 2.2r7 and woody 3.0, Corel Linux, few Knoppix's, Mandrake 9.1 and 9.2, Slackware 3.5 and 7.0, Turbo Linux 7, Yoper 3, SuSE pro 7.1, 9.1 and 9.2, SimplyMepis 2004 and 3.3 and some Slack derived: Slax, Vector, Zenwalk, Wolvix...
now I'm stuck on Slackware 10.1 (home desktop+home router), OpenSUSE 10.3 x86_64 (alt. home desktop) and CentOS v4 (office server/router)... don't like *buntu's and Fedora
Feeling old..my first distribution was SLS back in 92 or was it 93.
My first distro was Slackware 8, just after it had first come out. Since then I've dabbled with Debian, Gentoo and FreeBSD. Currently I'm using Ubuntu however.
I think the first distribution I used was Red Hat 5.2.
Since then I started using Debian, and am now happily stuck on Ubuntu :-)
My first was Ubuntu 6.10 back in 2006(yeah, I didn't even know about Linux until 2005). Right now I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 and will probably keep using Ubuntu for a while. Tried Fedora 8, but couldn't get wifi to work, so I uninstalled it after some hours.

Thread: Guerlain: Tonka Impériale |
Tonka Impériale will be the next fragrance launched in the L'Art et la Matière line
it seems to be delightful and a true Guerlain à l'ancienne
has anyone smelled it ?

sorry the link is in french ...
this new exclusive Tonka Impériale sounds really promising
it's supposed to be marketed in February 2010 but I guess it will available for Christmas as some people have already smelled it here in Paris
fragrances of L'Art et la Matière are rather marketed towards women, but some are suitable for men
Sounds lovely! It ought to be "very Guerlain" with the indispensable guerlinade ingredient playing a leading role. Also sounds nice with amber, vanilla, rose, orange blossom and rosemary. Sounds like a more gourmand (amber) and floral (rose, orange blossom) version of Jicky...?
And I love the name too, of course
As usual, with every new Guerlain exclusive release, I'm drooling.

Of course I will smell it first before commenting, but a tonka prominent scent does not sound exciting to me at all.
Last edited by mikeperez23; 11th December 2009 at 12:13 AM.
Sounds exciting though no Guerlain scents after Eau de Guerlain have impressed me much
Sounds great!
I should find out some Imperial in tonka absolute before its launch!!!
Also the new exclusive perfume L`Abeille (Bee) will be launched soon - but for 15 000 euro!!!
Mr. G - I feel you...
Vetiver The Great!!!
If it isn't as timid as the other offerings from this line, count me in as one of the anxiously interested.
There is not much info about it yet - what the SAs can say is only this:
- It will be very limited
- The price will be 8000 Euros
- It will be sold from July/August 2010
- The bottle will be in Baccarat crystal, shaped like a bee, hence the name, by a designer at Place Vendôme
- It's not confirmed if the fragrance itself will be called "L'Abeille"
- It will be a floral that smells very "sumptuous"
Seriously, whats with all the tonka in every new Guerlain....?!?!?!?!
Sorry...wrong thread
Looking to swap/buy/receive for free () the following samples/decants:
Indult Tihota & Rêve en Cuir
Chant d'Aromes extrait
Vetiver pour Elle (5ml decant)
Versace The Dreamer 50ml (1.7oz) BNIB
"The Sunshine bores the daylights outta me!"
Anyone else smelled this one?
There may be some confusion here; two different perfumes have been mentioned in this thread. The information quoted above is for the one we're assuming might be called L'Abeille; the Tonka Impériale is in L'Art et la Matière series, which runs about $230 US.
Availability (presumably in France): fin Janvier début Février 2010

The review of this on the Grain de Musc blog sounds promising:
'...In a word, this is a Guerlain in the grand tradition of the patisserie, its cloyingness kept in check by the sheer feeling of quality: no empty calories here, just I-could-lick-my-arm-raw sensuousness. A gourmand for people who, like me, don't like to smear themselves with olfactory dessert, and much subtler than, say, its boozy-sweet big sister Spiritueuse Double Vanille, namely because Tonka bean is a little less common as a dessert note… It's also got considerable radiance and tenacity, so if you try it out on skin, don't plan for other tests: a couple of spritzes will swallow up any other perfumes, and probably quite a few credit cards. ...'

I doubt I'll like it, but AFA gourmands go, I've found that tonka(coumarin) is the only general-sweetener I respect. i used to think it was all the same, but each has their unique flavor......Benzoin, ylang-ylang, vanilla, all smell too feminine for me to wear. Honey is middle-ground, but I haven't found a lutens for me yet. The two gourmands I've found bottle-worthy (Eau Des Baux & the deceptively named TFTV) both get the majority of their sweetness from Coumarin/Tonka. Perhaps it's just all those teenage years splitting open black-n-milds and sweetened Phillies/Dutchmasters that made this impression (tobacco is VERY often flavored with coumarin)
So I'll be more eager to test this than I was Havana Vanille. did I see neroli/rosemary listed? maybe this really is "Imperiale"
Another TI teaser to keep the drool dripping: Fashion Tribes.
Tonka Imperiale will be launched at Bergdorf Goodman New York in February 2010, and available at Guerlain Boutiques in March.
In a world where 6 million people are added each month, every landscape matters.
This is available at Bergdorfs now actually, called a few days ago. It's $230.
Cannot wait to sample this. I'm salivating over it in fact.

It is sad in a way, because I was excited about the new Tonka scent, that there is such pricing disparity with Guerlain under LVMH. In a bygone era, a new Guerlain, same quality as L'Art et la Matière line, was sold at prices all could enjoy.
Now it seems LVMH have created 2 Guerlain, one priced somewhat reasonably selling "ok" fragrances, then another selling wonderful scents (in-league with the classics we all love) at a very expensive price-point.
I am sorry, I think $230 is an exorbitant amount to spend on an average sized bottle of scent.
It truly sounds delicious, but I will enjoy it vicariously.
Quand on boit l'eau, il faut penser à sa source
Tonka Impériale is now available in Paris
No doubt it's a true Guerlain : between "grande tradition" and modernity
It has many facets , so many facets that I can't tell you my exact feeling: it's rich and sweet, it evokes the commonalities of Jicky, Shalimar and l'Heure Bleue; with a touch of Spiritueuse double vanille
I've only tried it on a paper strip but it surely gives all its best on the skin
Brielle you are dead on, Guerlain says it worst:
"For lovers of beauty and rarity, for aesthetes on a quest for perfection, these exclusive collections represent the quintessence of Guerlain. They are created by mysterious
alchemists, artists in fragrance, who compose their formula like a work of art, guided by
emotion alone." (In regards to the LArt et La Matière line)
This should be their goal for all releases!
sure it's expensive and a marketing strategy (expensiveness, exclusiveness, luxurious)
but all perfumers have increased their prices ... Guerlain is therefore not so expensive
and you can decide to buy one bottle of Guerlain 's excellence and exclusive instead of 2 bottles of another perfumer's average juice
I wore Tonka Imperiale today.
The tonka smells like almonds and honey, then I get a bit of orange and the rosemary towards the end. It is very long lasting. It is not super sweet, or edible. I enjoyed it very much.
Got my sample of Tonka Impériale from the Guerlain house today. First impression is that it's very very pretty. Sweeter than Vol de Nuit, but with a dusky melancholy that is quite Guerlain. I begin to believe that Wasser was well-chosen. The drydown reminds me of Cuir Beluga which is a bit boring, actually. Still, one of the prettiest of the Art & Matiere scents which I in general don't have the strongest passion for... I could eventually see myself getting this together with Bois d'Armenie some day...
Day two: I like this. Not as "white" as Cuir Beluga. More character. I think it will delight both men (its herbal-woody accord) and women (the velvety balsam of tonka bean). Tonka Impériale is maybe "the most Guerlain" of this "modern niche" line: It has the emblematic reminiscence of Jicky, just modernized as more pleasingly straight-out gourmand.

Thanks for the news, Mr. G. This is sounding very good to me.
In a world where 6 million people are added each month, every landscape matters.
Sounds like it's a winner...
I can't wait to try this one, thanks for the summation Mr. Guerlain.
I tried this today, it certainly is to tonka what Spiritueuse Double Vanille is to vanilla. It goes through all the slight variations of tonka: praline/cherry/almond, but it doesn't really add up to much of a formula. Hmmm.
Last edited by Kevin Guyer; 22nd February 2010 at 01:54 AM.
I guess I just don't get Tonka Imperiale. It just doesn't seem up to the Guerlain name to me. Nothing about this frag does anything for my nose. It's not nasty or anything negative. It's just not any thing more than your average designer frag.
Been wearing it for some days now, and I think I agree that, like Ruggles said, it's not too much of a *real* formula. Then again, none of the Art+Matiere are, which is why I have never fallen for them, they are all too "niche" and "arty" and one-dimensional to really thrill me, I don't find the "Guerlain smile" in any of them, they are too "polished". Tonka Impériale is as pleasant as the tonka bean itself, but it's not *wow* like Spiritueuse Double Vanille was. Still, in Tonka Impériale I find the "Guerlain smile" a bit more than in the first six Art+Maitiere, it's a bit more candid and vibrant after all.
PS: It seems that Guerlain is aware that this line is quite one-dimensional. When I was in Paris, a SA told me that "Spiritueuse Double Vanille is good to layer with other Guerlains" (although strictly speaking, SDV is not in that line). Somehow, I don't like that trend chez Guerlain...

Just my two cents on this one, from my initial impressions and review:
Initially, there is a blast of something that smells a bit like rum or brandy, but this is ephemeral. Soon the scent begins to show off its title component, tonka bean. When this appears, it seems a bit muddied at first, but that, too, soon resolves, and a clear honey note emerges alongside the tonka. Then, in rapid succession, vanilla, tobacco, and amber. Strangely, the real signature of this waits for the end, which is a while in coming: with all the others setting the stage, a spicy-woody rosemary steals in, and makes this creation truly beautiful. There is a definite unity of style among the L'Art et la Matière series, and this one fits right in, somewhere between Angélique Noire and Bois d'Arménie.

Somehow, it reminds me mostly of Cuir Beluga. The base of Tonka Impériale to my nose has the same dryish, modern-leatherish feel, a bit "milky" like Cuir Beluga, like one of those shining new Italian white leather designer chairs, but sweetened by some nougat. Yeah, nougat is what I get from Tonka Impériale. White leather rubbed with nougat, and maybe softened with some Amaretto
Edit: There's also a big portion of face powder in it. The powder comes after the "white leather". It's quite powdery, actually. It makes it much Guerlain-like...
Today I wear it on one arm, Jicky vintage EdT on the other, and it strikes me that the former is, like, 100 times more sweet than old Jicky was. Jicky can feel sweet alone, but next to the Tonka, it's smells like being outdoors hanging laundry up for drying

Thanks for your input, my dears.

I can barely contain my excitement. My sample better get here soon. I'm not the biggest fan of old Guerlains, maybe that's why I really enjoy the whole L'Art et la Matière line, they're sort of different spins on a niche gourmand, highlighting a different note in each one. I love Bois d'Armenie, and am on a big almond kick right now, so it's sounding better and better all the time.

Man, I had the exact same experience. I couldn't agree more with your description Mr. G - vanilla, nougat, amaretto, powdered leather - what a mix! I spent a little time in the Guerlain shop here in Montreal, and I was lucky enough to sniff some real tonka beans they had on hidden away with their sampler of Tonka Imperial. TK really is a fantastic rendition of tonka beans, and enjoyable to boot.
Sales thread here
I like the tonka in this. But thats about it. Its all basenotes...an ocean of spineless heavy notes rubbing against each other with no longitude. Layer it with one of the Guerlain Eaux's to create more structure and a better frag.

I'm really looking forward to trying Tonka Imperiale, but after reading that it's all basenotes, it worries me. The only l'art et la matiere i had was angelique noire. it had beautiful herbal and bittersweet topnotes that unfortunately lasted for a couple of minutes tops, then forms into what it supposed to be the heart and base. it is very, very linear and that it what annoys me really and why i had to sell it recently. the whole l'art et la matiere line is really well made imho, but unfortunate because they are so simple and linear (with the exception of maybe Cuir Beluga which goes through a couple of bases). I do hope tonka imperiale will break that mold though.

Dog Liver Disease (Canine Liver Diseases)
Signs and Symptoms
Canine liver disease is a relatively common disorder, especially among older dogs. It can develop as a result of many different causes and can manifest itself as a number of different specific liver diseases.
The liver is a large organ that plays a significant role in a number of different physiological processes. Some of these processes include glycogen storage, synthesis of plasma protein, and detoxification of the blood stream. In addition to these roles, the liver is involved in nearly all biochemical pathways in some capacity, from digestion and nutrient supply to fighting diseases and promoting cell growth. Therefore, when this organ becomes affected by disease and ceases to work as efficiently as normal, a dog will begin to suffer several consequences.
These consequences will begin to show up as warning signs and symptoms that will alert pet owners to the fact that there is something wrong. As a pet owner, knowing what symptoms to look out for can help you to quickly identify a potential problem, and thus get qualified help for your pet as soon as possible. While symptoms of this disease can be variable and quite subtle in the early stages, some of the most typical symptoms of this condition include decreased appetite and weight loss. Polyuria (excessive urination) and polydipsia (excessive thirst) are also common. Your dog may also be affected by depression and lethargy.
Furthermore, dogs suffering from liver disease may develop a distended abdomen, which is a sign of fluid retention and enlargement of the liver. Stools may be gray or light in color, while urine may be darker than normal, possibly with an orange cast. Diarrhea and vomiting may also occur. Some dogs may also suffer from weakness and confusion. In advanced stages of this disease, a dog may be plagued with convulsions. In addition, another very common sign of liver disease is jaundice. This involves the yellowing of a dog's gums, skin, and the whites of a dog's eyes.
If you notice your dog exhibiting any of the above symptoms and warning signs, it's imperative that you alert your veterinarian immediately so that a firm diagnosis can be made and a proper course of treatment can be initiated.
The function of the liver is closely tied in with the function of many other organs and physiological systems. Because of this, attributing illness and certain symptoms to the liver cannot always be done easily. This is especially true since many of the symptoms of liver disease are similar to those of other diseases, such as diabetes. In order to make a diagnosis of liver disease, a number of diagnostic procedures will have to be carried out. For this reason, there are many different techniques that veterinarians may employ when examining a dog suspected of having liver disease.
To begin with, a veterinary doctor will want to study the canine patient's history. Knowing about symptoms displayed at home as well as other factors, such as medications administered or the recent use of pesticides or insecticides in the dog's environment, can provide useful clues for the medical practitioner. Next, through a physical exam, the doctor will check for signs such as a distended abdomen, bruising, fever, and jaundice. This examination will then typically be followed by a variety of diagnostic tests.
The most common diagnostic method involves blood tests. Such tests can check on a number of different aspects of a canine's blood, including red and white blood cell levels as well as the levels of certain enzymes. For example, the enzymes alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase often appear in elevated amounts in a dog suffering from liver disease. In addition to a range of blood tests, a bile acid test and a urinalysis may also be conducted.
Other diagnostic tools include radiology and ultrasound. Radiographs can be helpful with identifying physical abnormalities of a dog's liver, such as unusually small size, enlargement, or other atypical characteristics. Ultrasound can also help with a veterinarian's examination by allowing the veterinarian to view the organ's internal structure. In some cases, surgery may be employed. This allows a veterinary doctor to explore the liver directly and also to obtain a sample for a biopsy if such a measure is required.
Located near the diaphragm, the liver consists of six lobes that are divided into three regions. This organ is the largest in a dog's body, and this size corresponds to its great importance with respect to a multitude of physiological functions and processes. The liver continuously carries out thousands of different processes all at the same time. Some of the most significant functions it performs will be briefly discussed below.
Protein, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism are all important functions carried out by a dog's liver. These roles are carried out in coordination with other systems such as the endocrine and circulatory systems. Most of the body's proteins are produced in the liver through the assembly of amino acids. These proteins then carry out numerous important functions in the rest of the body.
The liver also fulfills several functions with regards to carbohydrate metabolism. Gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis are all carried out by this organ. Respectively, these terms refer to the synthesis of glucose through the use of amino acids, lactate, or glycerol, and the synthesis of glycogen through the use of glucose. With respect to lipid metabolism, the liver regulates fatty acid levels, manufactures cholesterol, and produces triglycerides.
In addition to these functions, the liver also acts as a detoxification system for the body. It is responsible for removing drugs and other toxic substances from the body by breaking them down into components that can then be more easily flushed from a dog's system. With all of this in mind, it's not surprising that a dog will suffer from many negative effects when its liver is not working properly.
Canine liver disease can be caused by a multitude of different factors and conditions. Sometimes trauma can be the trigger for this disease. Trauma can occur in many ways, including a blow when hit by a car or through a case of heatstroke. Drugs and toxins can also lead to liver disease. Thousands of different chemicals can be responsible for triggering liver disease in a canine, including pesticides and several different medications that are used to treat other medical conditions in dogs, which is why it's important to follow your veterinarian's directions closely. Canine liver disease can also result from various viral or bacterial infections, or it could stem from an abnormality of the liver that the dog was born with.
In many cases, liver disease arises as a result of another medical condition. For instance, anemia can lead to decreased oxygen delivery to liver cells, which can then cause the cells to become damaged. Heartworm and heart disease can block or change the blood flow to the liver, which can also damage those cells. Furthermore, pancreatitis and cancer have also been known to cause liver disease in canines.
The course of treatment required in a case of canine liver disease will depend upon the cause of the condition. For example, if trauma was the trigger, hospitalization while the dog recovers from the impact of the trauma may be all that is required. On the other hand, antibiotics may be needed if a bacterial infection is at the root of the disease. When liver disease is caused by another medical condition such as cancer or anemia, these additional medical circumstances will need to be taken into account.
In addition to certain medications, dietary adjustments and supplements can be very useful when attempting to treat canine liver disease. Dietary changes can include adjusting the amounts of proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, fats, and minerals that a dog ingests. This will then ensure that the canine patient is receiving the nutrition it needs and will also help to decrease the workload of the liver.
Certain homeopathic remedies can also be very helpful when treating canine liver disease. Natural herbs and substances such as burdock and greater celandine have properties that assist with the purification of blood, the stimulation of digestive enzymes, and the protection of the liver from toxic substances. Milk thistle is another natural ingredient that is known to be very effective in cases of canine liver disease. This natural substance acts as an antioxidant like vitamin E, stimulates production of new liver cells, and helps to prevent certain toxins from attaching to the liver. However, it is always important to carry out any form of treatment under the supervision of a qualified veterinary doctor.

How To Access
To Create a New Menu Item:
- Select Menus → [name of the menu] → Add New Menu Item from the drop-down menu on the back-end of your Joomla! installation. For example, if a Menu is called "About Joomla", select Menus → About Joomla → Add New Menu Item.
- Or navigate to Menu Manager: Menu Items and click on the "New" icon in the toolbar.
To Edit a Menu Item:
- Select Menus → [name of the menu] from the drop-down menu on the back-end of your Joomla! installation. For example, if a Menu is called "Main Menu", select Menus → Main Menu. Then either click the title of the menu item in the table list or select the menu item checkbox and click the "Edit" icon in the toolbar.
Menu items are the core structure of a Joomla website. Each Menu Item is a link to a webpage. The Menu Item Type determines the type of page that will display when this menu choice is selected by the User. The core distribution of Joomla provides 29 different Menu Item types. If you install third-party extensions, these may add more menu types.
In this screen, you will select the Menu Item Type for the Menu Item you are creating and then fill in information about this specific Menu Item. Some of these fields are common to all Menu Item types. These include the following sections: Details, Link Type Options, Page Display Options, Metadata Options, and Module Assignment for this Menu Item. These common fields are documented in this help screen.
In addition to these common fields, different Menu Item types may require different fields unique to that type. These are documented in the help screen for each type.
- If you install one or more Joomla! extensions, these extensions may add new Menu Item Types. In this case, your list will have additional types.
- Menu Manager: New Menu Item and Menu Manager: Edit Menu Item have the same functions except one. New Menu Item does not have the Save as Copy toolbar button.
New Menu Item Details
Details Tab
The screenshot above contains the Details Tab section. This section is the same for all menu item types and has the following fields.
- Status. (Published/Unpublished/Trashed) The published status of the item.
- Menu Item Type. The first step when creating a menu item is to select the menu item type. Click the Select button to open a modal window that lists the available menu item types, as shown below.

- Ordering. Indicates the order of this Menu Item in the Menu. The default Order is to add the Menu Item to the end of the Menu. This Menu Item will moved to the order position just after the Menu Item selected from the drop-down list. Note that the Order of Menu Items can also be changed in the Menu Item Manager.
- Access. The viewing level access for this item.
- Default Page. If Yes, this menu item is the default or home page for the site. There must be exactly one menu item set as the default page. You can change the default page in two ways:

Article | Harvard Business Review Cooks Make Tastier Food When They Can See Their Customers Ryan W. Buell, Tami Kim and Chia-Jung Tsay While existing theory suggests that increased contact between customers and employees diminishes efficiency, recent research demonstrates that when employees can see their customers, the beneficiaries of their efforts, the quality and efficiency of the service they deliver can actually improve. Studies in food service show how revealing customers to employees can lead employees to feel more appreciated, enhancing their job satisfaction and willingness to exert effort.

Article | Psychological Science A 'Present' for the Future: The Unexpected Value of Rediscovery Ting Zhang, Tami Kim, Alison Wood Brooks, Francesca Gino and Michael I. Norton Although documenting everyday activities may seem trivial, four studies reveal that creating records of the present generates unexpected benefits by allowing future rediscoveries. In Study 1, we use a "time capsule" paradigm to show that individuals underestimate the extent to which rediscovering experiences from the past will be curiosity-provoking and interesting in the future. In Studies 2 and 3, we find that people are particularly likely to underestimate the pleasure of rediscovering ordinary, mundane experiences compared to rediscovering extraordinary experiences. Finally, Study 4 demonstrates that underestimating the pleasure of rediscovery leads to time-inconsistent choices: individuals forgo opportunities to document the present but then prefer to rediscover those moments in the future. Underestimating the value of rediscovery is linked to people's erroneous faith in their memory of everyday events. By documenting the present, people provide themselves with the opportunity to rediscover mundane moments that may otherwise have been forgotten.
