Review by Gabriela
I use this along with the 90 billion product. These products helps with my vagina issues (such as yeast infections and wetness). So far, the probiotics have minimized the number of times I get them -- before I would get one twice a month. Since taking the probiotics I get one once every 3 months. But I must remember to take them daily.
Thank you | (Posted on 3/9/15)
Review by CALIGIRL
Words can not express how the Ultimate Flora Vaginal support 50 billion probiotic has helped me. I have had a problem with reoccurring yeast infections for the past 4 years. The infections never seemed to go away. It got so bad that my husband and I stopped having intercourse because of the discomfort. I bought this product, and within two weeks: no smell, discharge or itching. I feel like a normal person. Thank you!

I use these, and I haven't had any UTIs or yeast infections (I also took these when the stomach bug hit my house and didn't get sick once). Highly recommended.

Review by dcallher
This product is great, it has it's side effect,gas,bloating,and upset stomach, but will go away as your body get adjusted.I'm taking one every other day for now cause the gas is awful, within 3 days, I've noticed a difference in my vaginal problems including my constipation.I notice a difference when I stop taking it for a while because of the side effects, I was back feeling bad, so I will start it back by taking 1capsules every other day. It really makes you feel great,I don't know why some doctors don't recommend this product? Maybe they fear no patients anymore no money in there pockets because of this product!!LOL!!

My OB/GYN suggest I purchase a probiotic for my recurring BV and Yeast infection. I bought a bottle from a grocery store with no relief of symptoms, so he said maybe the dosage was to low. I found this product and IT WORKS!!!!

Review by TS
I have suffered with vaginitis off and on and this product definitely helped my symptoms! It helps to restore the good vaginal and digestive bacteria. A must for women especially if you have taken antibiotics which wipe out all the bacteria, good and bad! Helps to restore the balance of good bacteria. Thank you Renew Life for making a product like this! The only thing is that it needs to be refrigerated and so traveling with it becomes a little more challenging.

Review by MVP5114
At age 23 I am glad I found a product that actually works instead of spending extra money on doctor visits and and their prescribed medicines. When I began going to college and around my junior year I started to notice my recurring yeast infections. I would go to the campus doctor and they would give me the pill to clear it up which helped but then I had to use the cream depositories to get better results after a while. Then I would get a yeast infection almost every other month and the over the counter drugs was not cutting it. I went to the doctors and was getting a bit concerned because I thought it was something unusual. So they tested me for a different stand of the yeast bacteria (in summer of 2014) and diagnosed me with BV. They gave me medicines and shipped me on my way which was bit uncomfortable from the slight burning sensations. The following month nothing changed so I started looking into natural ways to clear it up. I heard crazy stories about how women lived YEARS with BV before finding a way to maintain healthy bacteria in the vagina. I read and saw some great reviews from The Ultimate Flora Vaginal Support and will never stop taking it! By the 3rd day my discharges stopped and my tummy wasn't so tense and discomforting. If I know a woman how is suffering from what I had I would suggest The Ultimate Flora Vaginal right away. When I have kids I just hope my daughter won't have to go through things like this much. #WomenIssues

Review by Shopper
I have battled all my life with a fear that "smell" was more than it should be. I did the "spit test" for candida yeast and it was positive. I took another brand and it never went away. I started this and I promise within two days, I could tell a difference. I no longer have the smell that I've always had and I feel more comfortable about myself. It isn't like I smelled terrible, but I have always had this odor. I LOVE this product. I bought it from a store who had it stored in a refrigerator. But I see on here that it is shipped in a hot truck and then refrigerated. So, my question is: Do you HAVE to keep it refrigerated or is it okay on the counter? Seems it would kill anything live if it isn't kept at a refrigerated temperature at all times. I still love the product though and will continue to purchase. I am not sure how many live cultures you "need" but this must have been adequate for me...

Review by Star
Wondering if you put them in your vagina or just swallow like a pill?
I have had a reoccurring yeast infection for a few months now. I believe it started from washing with scented antibacterial soap at the JYM. I never wash I with soap and it gave me my second ever YI. I'm 29 and I had one a few years ago after way to much alcohol and sexy time. My first one was misery so I went to my Dr. The very day I had symptoms and got the diflucan pill. I took it, cut out bread and sugar for a week and then took another pill. I felt fine, but then whenever I ate something sugary or had a dink or bread, the next day it was back! I took 5 pills and felt like it was finally over. Then after my period I would feel a little itchy... Notice white discharge. No sex for weeks. Then when we started I noticed a lot of white discharge but I didn't have any other symptoms. I messed around with natural home remidies. Got a culture done and it came back clean. Still white discharge during sex. Months go by. The same. Finally I decide to see a different Dr. After the first said it was normal. Tested under the microscope and came back saying yeast. I've been taking other probiotics the whole time but I'm going to give this a try. My Dr. Put me on a week of terconazole cream. I hate putting Chemicals indide of me! I'm on day 5 and I just took my first double dose of this probiotic. I really hope it works. Wondering? Are all you ladies eating them or do you put them in your vagina? I've heard of doing both.

Review by happycamper
I'm 27 and usually have a very healthy system. But every once in a while something happens and I start having vaginal odor. I bought this product on a whim because I didn't want to wait to see a doctor and I was almost too self conscious to go to work. Took a double dose on day one....though I will state as a disclaimer that you shouldn't do that.....but now on day 2 I have no odor. Back to normal. This product will always be on stock in my house :)

Review by kdb
I recently was diagnosed with BV. Where it came from must have been an evil place because it is an awful infection! After several rounds of Metro gel (ewww!) it would rear its evil head and be back with a vengeance.
I read blogs and reviews and even bought how to be BV free! After talking to my doctor, using common sense and process of elimination I began using Renew Life Ultimate Vaginal Support 50 billion. I started taking 1-2 daily to get straightened out. Douching with 2 tablespoons of peroxide for 5-7 days has got me back in line.
I now take just one a day but if I miss, I know it. Great product! A bit pricey but it keeps me feeling normal.

Review by Kris
Like many of the women who have offered their experiences, I contracted a bad case of Bacterial Vaginosis a few years ago, and my male GYN continually gave me and my Husband antibiotics. The BV would subside for a month and then come roaring back. I was at my wit's end and so embarassed by the symptoms.
I researched home remedies and the like, but nothing ever really worked. I finally decided to try a female GYN to see if there was any insight she could offer. She diagnosed me with a classic case of BV and handed me a slip of paper with this product name on it. I had always assumed probiotics were for digestive issues, so I was skeptical but desperate.
One week after starting Ultimate Flora VS, I was symptom free. It was truly a miracle and a blessing for me and my Husband! I feel like myself again! I highly recommend this product to every woman for a restored healthy balance. I make sure to never run out and it's the one pill I never forget everyday. I am a believer in the power of this product!

Review by Jazz
I've suffered with yeast infections, UTIs and other issues for the past 25 years!!!!! Yes 25 years!!!! I've taken practically every antibiotic on the planet and eventually developed resistance to most Of them. About 5 years ago, I was also diagnosed with IC and vulvodynia - this is the worst pain I've ever experienced. I was going to physical therapy to treat these issues and told by my PT to try probiotics. Did some research on line and decided to order this product. I haven't felt this good in YEARS!!!! I'm tearing up as a write this because I suffered for SO MANY YEARS and finally there is RELIEF!!
Depending on your condition, it could take a few weeks for a noticeable difference.

Every time my husband and I have sex, my Ph balance is knocked off and I suffer from vaginal odor and discharge. I am allergic to my husband! However, this pill has changed all of that. After two days, I am completely odor free. Yes, I meant to type the word completely. This is the cure for this embarrassing problem. Buy it today and you will have relief in days!

Review by DR
A few years ago I started getting this nasty infection called BV, it was just something horrible to deal with and I was on a vicious cycle back and forth to my gyn's office! the characteristics of this infection is just disgusting the smell to say the least is just putrid. I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to get rid of this horrible embarrassing infection. until a friend of a friend gave me the empty bottle of the vaginal support critcal care and I went out and bought it immediately! after I finished the bottle the BV was gone! I mean completely gone and never to return. The bacterial vaginosis led to reaccuring painful cysts in my vaginal region that would have me crawling to the emergency room which ultimately led to a marcupulization procedure!(removal of a gland) I wish I had known about this company alot sooner it would have saved me soooo much agony and money! I love this company for the wonderful benefits it offers! I will always take their products I am a customer for life!

Review by Trista
Just recently, I somehow contracted BV...had never had one in my life, and hadn't even had a yeast infection for years. It seemed to have started out as a yeast infection, and then moved to BV. After no success with home remedies, and almost 2 months of agony and frustration, and 10 days of antibiotics, which gave me relief only while I was taking them, I went to my local health store (why I didn't go there in the first place is not like me at all!)
I bought Renew LIfe VS, and was so down with BV, that I took two to start. Within 2 hours, I had relief, more energy, less emotional stress, and no discharge!!!! I couldn't believe it. It was instant, like a miracle. This is one of the best products I have ever used, and I will continue to use it, as it seems my body almost craves it.
I will never be without this formula again!!!!

Review by ptd
I suffer from Interstitial Cystitis and Vulvodynia, which both are debilitating. My therapist recommended this product to me and I have been using it for over a year now. When I feel a "flare" of either of these diseases, I take a double dose (2) until the pain goes away, then go back to one a day. This product is my lifeline. Many women do not know about this product being used for IC and Vulvodynia. Those who are writing these reviews might need to check with their GYN's to make sure they aren't suffering from Vulvodynia, as it mimics candida yeast infections. I've lived with this for years, and have used all the drugs. Nothing comes close to what this product has done for my sanity. Every time I am tested for yeast, the test comes back negative. It is the Vulvodynia at work. IF you have sensitive skin tissue in the vulva area, please get checked. And, take this medication. It's a godsend.

Review by Aliciab777
I am 24 years old and for the past 4 years i have had EXTREME vaginal odor, to the point where i didn't enjoy having sex any more. To be completely honest i cringed at the thought of having sex because i knew that there was going to be an unbearable smell. My husband was never mean about it but it really affected our sex life and my self esteem. I felt unattractive, disgusting and i was humiliated because of the smell. I had the odor all the time, not just during sex. it was just way worse during sex. over the past 4 years i have tried everything to get the odor to go away with no luck. I got the Ultimate Flora Vaginal supplement in the mail and started taking it the next day. after taking it for two days i had sex and there was hardly any odor, on the third day of taking it there was even less, and on the forth day of taking it there was absolutely no smell at all. I can't express how happy i am. my husband said "this stuff works magic"! I would definitly recommend the ultimate flora vaginal supplement to anyone with vaginal odor!!!!

Review by Jo
I have been in a WAR with BV for 10 plus years and it has ruined my self-confidence in so many ways. I reframe from having sex with my husband because of the embarrassing fishy order and discharge that comes with BV. I have tried everything you can think of to know avail. Doctors don't tell you about probiotics because it will put them out of business. They just continue to give you antibiotics and creams that will keep the vicious cycle going. I knew my body was lacking something that could not fight off this infection. So I did extensive research on what causes the infection and what did my body need to control this monster (BV). Well the answer is in this bottle. I THANK GOD for this company and this product. There is no amount of money I would object to pay to feel like my whole self again. Thank you Brenda for giving me my femininity back!

Review by Free at last
I have had a Yeast infection and bacterial infection problem since i started puberty and its been such a problem. I had to either be at the doctors at least every other month if not every month it was just such an inconvenience and i was always feeling uncomfortable. I've tried taking other natural stuff and although it had lessen the the recurring it still didnt stop it. I"ve now been taking Vaginal support for about 4 months and i have not gotten a bacterial infection and when i felt a yeast coming on i would just take 3 capsules and it would be gone on its own. i have not been to the doctor for a yeas or bv in 4 months and i feel so good!

Review by EC
I have been suffering from YI for the past year and no matter what they just kept coming back! I was tested at the doctor with negative results and literally was at my wits end dealing with the discomfort along with painful intercourse. My doc had no answers so I started doing my own research on what it could be. Once I realized it probably had something to do with candida overgrowth I picked this up at Whole Foods. I've been taking them over a week and already have noticed a siginificant difference. The itching has stopped along with the discharge. I feel better physically. My body seems to be balancing out. They are alittle pricey but it's totally worth the sweet relief. I'm looking forward to seeing how I will feel after a full month cycle of them. Thank you!!

Review by Peaches
I'm 34. I was never was interested in probiotics until I was diagnosed with BV. I've had yeast infections a couple times before but never BV to my knowledge. So I did my homework on the issue and read that the antibiotics could kill the good bacteria while killing the bad and then it can become a vicious cycle. I wanted to prevent that from happening before it could. So I started researching about probiotics and found this one. Many women have had good results with this product. I started taking the pill yesterday even though my second visit to the doctor came back negative for everything. Just to prevent the torture I read about from other blogs I decided to take it. Maybe its my mind or this is a wonder pill, but I don't have any weird discharge anymore. Stomach aches I have been recently having have gone away, and I feel more energetic too.

Review by DMG
Since turning 50 2 years ago, I have been dealing with vaginal itch, odor and UTI symptons. The inner and outer vaginal areas became swelled, raw and itchy. I tried everything from detoxing to sitting in warm baths in vinegar to cut the bacteria. I was in so much pain trying to pass my water. It burned, itched and I was scared because I saw appearances of what looked like cold sores. I was so upset that I went to my local health food store. I trust the women there. I spoke privately to one of the women who specializes in homeopathic rememdies. And she suggest the Ultimate Flora Vaginal Support. WOW! With in 2 days I was totally cleared of all of the symptoms I had. The redness, swelling, itching and odor completely gone. Even the bloatedness and down pressure I was feeling from UTI was gone in 2 days. I have returned back to the store and thanked the woman for turning my life around! Ultimate Flora Vaginal Support is a daily part of my life and will continue to be.

I'm 3 days in and I feel great!! I started taking this in hopes of warding off a yeast infection that I felt coming on after taking Metrogel for a BV infection. I really didn't want to take diflucan for fear of repeating the cycle of having another infection. So far, any sign of a yeast infection is gone!!! If this is all I have to do to keep my balanced, ill be a happy girl!!

Review by judy
This product really works. It has done great wonders for me. I too suffered for years with many urinary infections then on to many bacterial vaginosis infections and yeast infections, all closely related. This product i will be on for life. ALong with this product I found the parasite cleanse by Renew Life and the Candida cleanse worked well to get body cleansed better or all the yeast and bacteria. I then use this product once a day for maitenance. It is nice to have finally found something that works.
Is worth the money for those who are wondering.

Review by trf
I am a 25 year old woman. Over the last 2 years (my instinct is due to hormonal fluctuations - I have developed cystic hormonal acne and painful periods over the same time period) I get recurring BV infections just after my period. Not every month - but often enough that it affects my sex life and self esteem. I am constantly worrying about having odor or feeling gross and dirty because of having the excess discharge that accompanies BV.
I have taken antibiotics for them but after a while you grow weary of getting antibiotics for something you know will inevitably come back. So, I have been doing a lot of research because about 2 weeks ago I noticed my symptoms had come back (again) and I was at my wits end.
I bought a bottle of this product, completely skeptical and assuming I would need to head to the doctor and get yet another prescription. Within 2 days of using it, I had absolutely no smell at all and significantly less discharge. It's been a week and although the results are very preliminary - still no odor and almost normal consistency discharge. I am in disbelief with how well this worked! As mentioned before - its expensive but worth it to preserve my self esteem and confidence!

[Certain kinds of sexual intimacy] throws my whole PH balance off. My gyno said it just happens. I was like...ugh! But i went to a health food store for something totally different. One of the associates recommended Ultimate Flora Vaginal Support. OH HOW MUCH I LOVE IT (I DONT LIKE THE PRICE THOUGH!). In fact this is why I'm on this site. I'm looking for a deal...lol. I just finished my 30 supply. I haven't had any problems, i will continue to take them but dang, i hate to pay $40 a month for them.

Review by cheeks
After countless doc appointments and embarassing yeast infections, and telling my husband that I had another BV infection, I knew I needed something different in my system than just another prescription for whatever my doc was giving me. He suggested ProB, but that didn't work for me at all. I needed something stronger. I had not come across Ultimate Flora for a while, but found something about it on Amazon.com. I went to a local Vitamin store, and sure enough, in the refrigerated section, was Ultimate Flora. It wasn't cheap, but I didn't care because I was in so much discomfort. I had resolved myself to white cotton granny panties, not eating sugar, and taking off gym clothes immediately after working out.
This stuff works. Let me say it again: THIS STUFF WORKS!! 50 BILLION LIVE ACTIVE CULTURES. 50 BILLION LADIES! Within 2 days I felt like myself again. I can wear tighter jeans and slacks and not have to worry that I'm going to get an infection. I have cut down on sugars and am drinking more water, but I believe these pills have helped me. Hubby is happier too, now that there's no more problems for me!!
I've told everyone about this product. I know women have issues down below, but we just choose not to talk about it. Around "shark week" (aka period week), I'll take one in the morning and one in the evening. Have not had an infection since. THANK YOU ULTIMATE FLORA!! I have my confidence back!!

Review by StarryEyedSurprise
YES! A probiotic pill that really works and that isn't tested on animals, doesn't contain any animal products, and is completely free of not only dairy and gluten but also of egg and soy! (I am allergic to gluten, dairy, egg, and soy...plus I am vegan...yeah I know it's a little hard with all that, and I definitely can't do yogurt, but that's how things are and I'm happy). Been taking this 1 time a day (that's important I think people still having problems might be skipping...it's not like a medication where if you skip a day you'll have withdrawal or anything crazy...probiotics are just pure goodness for your whole body and self...but I found that the month I was kind of iffy about taking it and would take one every other day or so well that just didn't work out as well. But if you take 1 every day with your birth control pills and daily multi-vitamin, easy as ABC 123, and really really works. Wow yes almost 13 months of consistently taking it (not counting that 1 month where I didn't...don't do that) and now I don't get UTI's anymore. I also drink A LOT of water I mean 1-2 GALLONS per day (I live in Texas so it gets hot and dry but anway...this definitely helps...oh and I drink distilled water. Gross you say? But it is the most PH balanced like water is supposed to be and free of all the gross stuff in our water supply think of all the junk in it...like medicines excreted that didn't get fully absorbed, mercury, chlorine (chlorine is not good to drink, sure to swim in and in extreme conditions you might need to drink some chlorine treated water but generally it's very bad)...fluoride...all the junk people put in our water eeeeew. Anyway this stuff is good just drink A LOT of distilled water with it I mean maybe not 2 gallons per day but how about 1 gallon? And eat a lot of vegetables especially organic and green vegetables...celergy root juice has been awesome...take this product...keep clean (take SHOWERS not baths I know I know i love baths too but as women it can get up our private areas...haha it meaning bad stuff like bad bacteria that can cause these problems...but don't be scared not to swim, just make sure you shower afterward)...did i mention take this product? ....be FREE OF UTI's and UTI-type trouble :) I had UTI's and UTI-type trouble for 5 years and tried kombucha which did help but not enough and all kinds of things (obviously couldn't do yogurt) and this has helped the most. Oh and ladies really make sure you keep those panties clean and wear only 90% plus cotton underwear (doctor told me this and oh my god makes a major difference, you'd never think, but it does, wow....she also said hemp and bamboo are good...have had sooo many fewer infections since)....let's see since doing all this the past 2 years I have had only 1 infection. I used to get like 5 a month or if it wasn't a full on infection it was a lot of OUCH down there. Sooooo much better :) And if you are sexually active make sure your dude stays EXTREMELY clean too...he needs to shower a lot! ....and that right after making love you go PEE and if possible shower. He should take probiotics too though not this kind haha. This stuff really works can't reccomend enough. TOTALLY worth the price to be pain-free. I am only 20 and felt weird at first getting this you know all those looks people give a teenager for getting stuff like this...but it SOOO works and i just got over it! My twin sister, mom, aunt, cousin, and both of my grandmas all take it too and also have great stories and are very pleased! We are a very happy thankful family! Is helping all of us with digestion and being healthy down there and everywhere. Thank you Renew Life! P.S. cranberry juice is actually aggrivating for certain urinary conditions so be careful with that. awesome for some, hurtful for others. so i wouldn't just take cranberry juice without knowing specifically what you have...and yogurt is overrated! All that dairy is really bad for you! People taking it everyday? That's no good. Try this instead. :)

All of these reviews are completely true. I had been getting either yeast or bacterial infections for the last year and a half. They would start a day or so after my period and then end when I got my period weeks later. While this product didn't clear up my symptoms (I used doc prescribed meds) after my period I was infection free the whole month. Since taking this probiotic I have been symptom free for months.

Review by Finally Fixed
This product has changed my life. I had been having constant yeast infections for approximately a year before reading up on priobiotics and how they can help. My doctor prescribed the usual stuff (Monistat, etc.) and it would work for a short time, but always return, particularly around the time of my cycle. I am perimenopausal, and the problem really started to affect my sex life, let alone being itchy all the time! UGH! I had had ENOUGH of the painful intercourse, itchiness and redness of my vagina, and the dryness that comes along with it. I bought this product and haven' had a yeast infection in over a month. It has drastically improved my vaginal health, and I feel so much more comfortable now. I don't usually write reviews, but this is a product that REALLY WORKS. From now on, I will be purchasing it every month to keep my vaginal bacteria under control. I am really thankful for this stuff because it was a simple fix to a problem that just wouldn't go away. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Review by Nancy
I am 52 years young and have been having yeast infections on a recurrent basis most of my adult life. After many visits to several different doctors over the years, one suggested I read the book 'The Yeast Connection'. It really opened my eyes to how detrimental yeast is to the human body and what we do to ourselves to bring this condition on. It wasn't until several years later that I stumbled upon this product while searching the Internet for natural yeast cures. I, like many others in the reviews, have been on prescription medicines, as well as OTC medicines to treat vaginal yeast infections with limited success. I realized I had to not just treat the infection, but rid my body of the overabundance of yeast. After almost two years of being on this product, I swear by it. It is expensive, however, being comfortable and not having the constant itching is worth every penny. If you've tried all the conventional methods and haven't found relief, I highly recommend trying this product.
Thank goodness I found this!!! | (Posted on 1/6/12)

I have been having problems with infections and painful intercourse for about 1.5 years. My Gyno kept giving me Fluconazole although I wasn't always testing positive for yeast infections. The medication would help for a couple of days but as soon as we would start trying to have intercourse, it would begin to feel extremely painful again. Sometimes, it even felt like I had tears at the bottom entrance of my vagina. My husband and I had to basically stop having intercourse. I switched Gynos and my new one sent me to a pelvic physical therapist, saying that I had developed Vaginismus in addition to doing a complete panel of tests including for STIs which all turned out negative. While I learned a few things from the physical therapist, I still couldn't get rid of the infections! And although the physical therapist said it didn't matter WHAT was causing the Vaginismus, it did to me because when I went to her with a full-on infection, she told me not to return until it was gone. Finally, I decided to try this product. Within a couple of days, I stopped having the uncomfortable and itchy symptoms I had been experiencing for what seemed like forever. A few days later my husband and I tried to have intercourse. I could not believe it- pain free and enjoyable again!!!!! He couldn't believe it either. I am now about 28 days into using the probiotic. My only question is, is it okay to stay on this dosage or do I need to change? Thank you!!!!!

Review by dss
desperate to find something to help me with vaginal odor and lower back pain i tried the 50 billion vaginal flora and it immediately changed my vaginal odor to a neutral odor again. my lower back quit hurting too. i haven't been to a doctor. i do not have insurance. i was having occasional uti's and bladder discomfort/frequent urination and urgency pressure...with this product all that has stopped..it has been a miracle for me. i do have to take two a day though to keep the odor and back pain away. i don't even know what i had or have but this product has changed my life. without it i would be in horrible shape. i am thinkiing about starting the colon health probiotic with it and see if i can't knock this out! still not sure why all this has happened to me. i am a healthy 60 yr old until all this happened a couple of years ago. i had a vaginal smear test and they said i didn't have any good bacteria in my vagina...why? i don't know why my body quit producing good bacteria? cannot find anything on the internet to explain why. Does anyone have any idea why I am in this shape? I don't have any of the yeast symptoms..but this product does help me. Confused but GRATEFUL!

Review by JD
After having a yeast infection that wouldn't totally go away for over 3 MONTHS, in desperation, I decided to try this product after finding it on a web search. I was skeptical, to be honest, I don't think I'd have tried it if a local store owned by a man I trust implicitly didn't have it, I'd have thought "another internet scam". And I'd have been wrong!
I had burning, intense itching, swelling, redness and irritation, and various other uncomfortable "issues" from right before Memorial Day heading into Labor Day. My doctor had me on diflucan, he gave me clotrimezole cream, the symptoms went away for 2-3 days and always came back. I tried Monistat on my own, same result, it went away and came right back. I was SO tired of being acutely aware that I had a vagina because it itched so intensely I couldn't forget about it!!! After TWO DAYS on UFVS I noticed a difference. After a week, the redness and irritation was GONE. The itch and burn were GONE. The swelling was greatly reduced, and is now gone after a month of use. I am buying my 2nd bottle of UFVS tomorrow.

I have been on so many products to get rid of a nasty Candida and the thing comes back in less than 2 months. I had all the uncomfortable feeling of being wet at all times and having to change underwear a few times per day…. I tried Ultimate Flora Vaginal Care for a month and I could not believe the results: the Candida has not come back, and I stay dry ALL-DAY-LONG!!! I have been able to use my jeans again. Thank you so much Renew Life, I am using this product as part of my daily supplements now.

Review by Mel
I have dealt with vaginal/urinary issues since I started getting my period... Every other month a yeast infection or a UTI... which led to an incredible amount of antibiotic use (plus I had always taken tons of antibiotics as a child from always being sick) That plus a diagnosis of interstitial cystitis about 3 years ago made me completely miserable. I decided to see a holistic physician who suggested high dose probiotics - couldn't hurt I guess. I had already been taking a 35 billion dose of a probiotic the physician gave me and started to feel better on a surprisingly consistent basis, but thought this product may help me even more..... MIRACLE!!!! I have been taking it for the past week and have never felt this way before - I can actually leave the house without having to use the bathroom right before we leave and not worry about it. I can go 4 hours now without having to urinate which I used to have to go at least every 1-2 hours. I am not saying that it was an overnight turn around, but after the 1st 3 days I have noticed a huge change and it keeps getting better. I still have a long road to travel as I also have residual pelvic floor issues from the previous years of tension & pain, but this product is enabling me to actually be in the position to heal my body... the feeling of hope I have now is unbelievable !!!

Review by Peggy
I took this product everyday of my pregnancy and truly believe it helped me NOT experience the painful yeast and other infections I suffered with during previous pregnancy. Because it balances out vaginal flora in general, I also believe that it helped me test negative for Group B Step so I was able to avoid antibiotics during my pregnancy. I continue to take this product (just one every other day) while I'm nursing and it is awesome! Thank you for a great product.

Review by Susie
I'm 27 years old, consider myself overall very healthy, and have been eating a balanced (not perfect), often raw plant based diet for 6 years. In the last 3-4 years I have experienced extremely painful and recurring yeast infections. In recent years, as I have "cleaned out" my diet of processed food, cut sugar to minimum, no animal products, my body has become more sensitive to foods it does not like. ANY sugar, wine/alcohol, or a lot of yeast in foods will trigger an infection. After searching and reading about yeast infections and treatment over the years, I believe I am susceptible b/c my father gave myself and my siblings Amoxacillan anti-biotics like they were Tylenol or chewable vitamins- any time we showed any signs of getting sick he had us take a few (not finishing a full set of anti-biotics). I believe my immune system is weakened b/c of years anti-biotic use (abuse).
I have experimented w/ many other brands and forms of pro-biotics for relief, but Renew Life has been the only product to work and improve overall health and digestion too.
I will be a life long customer and recommend it to any one I know in search of better health!

Review by LAF/art
I am post-menopausal and have had severe vaginal dryness for about 2 years. Not to get graphic but this condition has made intercourse very painful. My Pap and pelvic exams for the past two years have verified that my cervix was in rought shape. I am prone to blood clots, so HRT and any kind of natural estrogen is a no-no for me as well.
A month or so ago, I was looking for a probiotic to replace the one I have been using for years. In my search, I found ReNew Life. I wrote to Brenda and was advised to take not only the Ultimate Flora Critical Colon for my ulcerative colitis but to try the Vaginal Support. After almost a month of using the Vaginal Support, and the Critical Colon, I find that intercourse is better, being less painful and more enjoyable the last few times. I also just had my annual Pap and pelvic exam and my cervix is in much better shape this year than the previous two years. My doctor said my cervix is pink and clean and healthy. I am relieved and happy.
Thank you Brenda for your wise advice and your wonderful products!! I will be a customer for life.

I've suffered from recurring Urinary Tract Infections since my early 20s and I am 42. I've been taking Renew Life's Probiotic for quite a while and I absolutely love them. However, about a year ago I decided to try the Vaginal Support and I am absolutely amazed at the difference it has made! I have not had a single infection since I've been taking this product and that is a big deal for me because I used to get at least 3-4 infections a year!! I am never, ever going to stop taking the Vaginal Support. I take my regular probiotic in the morning and I take the Vaginal Support in the evening. This has changed my life and made a dramatic improvement in the quality of my life!
Thank you Renew LIfe for making such incredible products....you have a customer for life!!

Review by wcouch8
I have had repeated urinary tract problems since a teenager. There's that stinging that comes on in an instant (no warning), and then that knowing that I need to drop everything and get to the bathroom in time. Since taking this product, I've had this under control. I've tried other brands of bene bacteria made for women, but this brand has something in it that works better for my urinary tract. I take these daily. If it helps you make a decision, I have been using these for years, so I have long term experience on which to write. The other thing I like about these is that they are made specifically for women. I frequently read that science is finding different types of bene bacteria in different parts of the body and that women's bodies are different than mens - we need a different balance. Love these!
This was so worth the money. I could literaly feel the difference in my body a half an hour after taking this. My vaginal canal was haywire due to some vitamins I had taken, which seems to always happen to me, anyway I got tired of suffering & decided t | (Posted on 12/6/10)

had at 53 my first ever vaginal issue of bacterial vaginosis due to peri menopause and changes in my vaginal cavity, this very healthy woman became very fearful..the doc gave me an antibiotic but she failed to also suggest a probiotic, i took this probiotic and changed my diet a bit as i have always eaten whole foods..but gave up coffee..as comes with antibiotics in most cases is a full blown yeast infection due to removal of good and bad bacteria. as my friends told me to be prepared for a yeast infection, however, due to this product, i avoided the yeast infection and am once again healthy and happy and will never be without this formula.

Ok, we all have our favourite squads or walkers. But what about the opposite? What are the worst units in Your opinion?
Axis: There can be only one winner here - Hermann, mysterious failure of the game designers. Completely obsolete unit since the arrival of Heavy Laser Grenadiers.
Allies: I would say The Gunners, The only values of these guys is low cost - 20 points and "knife & grenades", but they are too universal - they cannot destroy a medium walker in one turn with even miraculous rolls, they are not a serious threat to enemy infantry, and the UGLs are IMHO inferior to Axis` panzerfausts.

Here I am referring to to pp 138-147.
There is NO "well-intentioned giant", Mr. Harris. There are various little petty factions and individuals in government, most vying for quite selfish goals.
You profess to be very clear about both the motives of Osama Bin Laden and George Bush, as well as very clear on what choices they would make under fantastic, imaginary circumstances. Many of the rest of us are under no such delusions. I have no better idea than you what either of these men would do with "the perfect weapon" or even how the existence of such a thing would profoundly alter the playing field – would there, in fact, BE any terrorism at ALL if such a thing were available?
Just comparing the power of Georgie-Boy to an actual tyrannical leader like Osama Bin Laden is terribly ignorant. They do not play the same roles in their respective power groups. You overestimate Mr. Bush in doing so, and clearly you overestimate how much his personal beliefs and will come into play and affect the actions of this sprawling government of ours. You know about Cheney and all those other guys, right? Something tells me George's little ego isn't the dominant one in the White House.
Comparing Bin Laden to Bush in any way is like comparing rotten apples to rotten oranges.
So where does that leave us, once we recognize that Mr. Bush's personal motives are not what we should consider to judge the actions of our government? Whose motives should we consider as the representational ones?
What, exactly ARE the motives of those who have made our decisions, Mr. Harris? You claim to know them quite well. You do not deny there have been atrocities committed by this government, but do you deny there have been atrocities committed by this government, or rather those individuals who have the power to truly influence it (not, of course, Mr. Bush) for the express purpose of personal gain? How would you rate THIS motive in your hierarchy of motives, Sam? People in this government were willing to kill innocent people for personal – FINANCIAL – gain. I can't think of a motive Mr. Bin Laden would have that could out-nasty that. Even the awfulness of inflicting hurt for its own sake, which is what you mistakenly imply is the motive of the "terrorist," does not trump the awfulness of the willingness to sacrifice innocents for personal gain.
Or perhaps you deny our government (that is, the individuals that control it) such motives? If so, you've got a blind-spot yourself, Sam. Such desire for personal gain has driven our entire country into war on more than one occasion. Look into it.
A "giant"? Well, we have a lot of individuals vying for a piece of the action. I guess if you want to lump them all together and pretend they are one mind you could call it a giant. A "well-intentioned" giant? that's an even harder call to make, though you make it with total nonchalance. A little more meditation on the nature and composition of our government and the motives of those individuals who really do constitute and control it might be in order. I'm not referring to George Bush here, of course.
Perhaps, now and then, in the best of times, there is some vague consensus of goodwill in this vast, greed-laden body that struggles with itself to make decisions for all of us. But to characterize the American Government as a generally well-intentioned entity is ridiculous and smacks of the kind of tolerant moderation you criticize in the religious arena.
The American Government, giant or not, is (of course) simply a self-serving group of individuals, like all such bodies. Self-serving, Sam. That's the motive. Rank it as you will.

What is the conceptual base of the work?
2,500 years ago, Chinese philosopher Tao said that "communication is making a connection to oblivion." Oblivion is to emptying oneself and being in other's shoes. When I'm empty, It is possible that the object encountered can come and walk into me. Making connection is to be open to and to understand others. In the process of communication, influenced by the Tao's theory, I feel the flow of time. Time, which resides in, is constantly changing and proving its very existence, by itself. Time is very important in photography.
In my works, sight of cognitive structure is reversed. Generally we can see close objects clearer than distant objects. But in my work's distant objects are well-seen rather than close objects. It is not how human's vision works. When the authority of sight is changed, It can be said that the vision is objectified. Therefore, very interesting phenomenon arises. Between the verge of reality and fantasy, my work shows that as if there are two different time spaces in the one. That is why it can show many traces of flown-time, which contains many signs and expressions, real memories and intentions of things have not happened.
My works contain thick presence, signs, and many latent cases, that have not occurred yet and mixtures of surface effects. They are what it means to express time in a personal manner.Kyunghee Lee 's current location:

Arlington's Max Gray is driven to succeed in football
"When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe."
It didn't take long to realize just how much those words mean to Gray.
Prior to his sophomore season, Gray was attending a football camp at the University of Puget Sound and was in good spirits after an impressive showing — but everything changed in a matter of seconds.
"A pass came to me and I dove for it and I knew right when I landed that there was something wrong," Gray said.
Initially, doctors told Gray it was just a sprain and after taking it easy for about a week, he continued to prepare for the upcoming season. As he worked, the pain persisted.
"It was probably the worst pain of my life," Gray said. "It got to the point where I couldn't sleep, I couldn't lie down, I couldn't relax, and I couldn't sit."
Gray visited another doctor, who broke the bad news.
"He basically sat me down and said, 'Max, you've had a fractured back this whole time,'" Gray said.
The doctor continued by telling Gray he would have to wear a back brace and likely would never play football again. The news devastated Gray, who said he became depressed as he watched his peers play the game he loved, frustrated that he could not join them.
Gray stumbled upon a motivational video on Facebook that he clicked on. That click put Gray on the road to recovery.
"Instantly, I knew this video was going to change my life," he said.
The video, How Bad Do You Want it, starred Giavanni Ruffin, a former East Carolina football player.
One of the sayings used in the video is the slogan on Gray's T-shirt.
Fueled by a desire to get back on the football field, Gray started rigorous training. He made it back for the track season of his sophomore year, but in the summer the pain had increased and his confidence subsequently decreased.
Then he got another pick-me-up from his new role model.
"I got a text that said, 'hey, I'm in Seattle, do you want to meet up?" Gray recalled.
Gray didn't recognize the number and asked who it was.
He got a return text, "This is Giavanni Ruffin."
"I was shocked, completely shocked," Gray said. "My inspiration and my role model had just texted me."
The two met, Ruffin signed Gray's back brace and the two have stayed in touch ever since.
Meeting Ruffin was the extra push Gray needed to get back on the field.
"Without that, I don't know where I'd be," he said.
Gray returned to the Eagles' football team for his junior season and was very productive, though not a standout compared to receivers throughout the state. But he proved by playing an entire season that injury was behind him. He is pain free today, he said.
Gray has attended several camps this summer that would suggest that 2013 could be his breakout season. His busy summer started in early June at the Puget Sound Elite Camp. The following weekend he attended the Northwest Elite Camp in Mercer Island along with more than 700 other athletes. At the end of the day, Gray was named one of the MVP's at the wide receiver position.
"That's when I got a lot more exposure," he said.
Then it was off to Oregon for the Nike SPARQ combine and the Nike Football Training Camp at Autzen stadium in Eugene.
"That was the biggest camp I've ever been to," Gray said. "It had the most competition and a crazy environment just being in that huge stadium."
Two weeks later Gray attended a camp at Portland State University and finished up with the Northwest College Showcase the following weekend at Interlake High School.
Gray was determined to have another great weekend at his final camp.
"I knew it was the last camp I was going to (for the summer)," he said. "All of the other camps I was giving it my all, but this one I was like, 'I've got to ball out, I've got to do everything I can."
Gray told his quarterback, "every time you throw it, it's going to be a touchdown." He then backed up his promise by finding the end zone on four consecutive catches — and turning a few heads in the process.
In addition to the camps, Gray has spent a lot of time this summer working with former Washington State University football and basketball player Michael Bush.
"He doesn't let me get away with doing something wrong," Gray said. "We will do it over and over and over again until I can't get it wrong."
Arlington head coach Greg Dailer said Gray's success this summer has given the young man a surge in confidence.
"That's the biggest change I've seen between last year and this year," Dailer said. "He's had a lot of success at those camps and I think that has helped with his overall confidence."
That confidence might be enough to turn a very good receiver into one of the best in Washington State.
"Last year, he was a great receiver for us, but nothing eye-popping in terms of numbers," Dailer said. "We are hoping it will be a breakout year for him."
That kind of season also would go a long way toward helping Gray accomplish his other goal of getting an offer to play college football. Aside from improving to help the Eagles this season, Gray said he hopes some of his performances in this year's summer camps have him on some colleges' radar.
"My plan was just to work on my routes," Gray said. "I know what college coaches really look at is one-on-ones because they want to see what you can do when someone is in your face pressing you. I train a lot for what I do. I was just training every day trying to get noticed."
As for this season, Gray said the goal is to help Arlington win the Wesco championship and to make it further in the playoffs than it did a season ago, when the Eagles scored a stunning 21-14 upset over No. 6 Kentwood to advance to state.
The same kind of belief that helped Gray return from his injury is what helped the Eagles pull off what almost no one outside of their locker room thought they could.
"We won the game before kickoff," Gray said. "We saw them and they were just kind of moping around not worrying about anything. We won the game and we knew it. We knew it wasn't going to be easy, but we had to do it.
"Once we finished that game we felt like we could beat anyone, but we didn't realize how good Camas really was."
Camas defeated the Eagles 62-6 in the first round of the 4A state playoffs. If the Eagles move beyond that point this season, Gray will likely play a big role.
"He is going to be our go-to receiver, so we are going to expect big plays out of him," Dailer said. "You can't put too much pressure on a kid, you just kind of have to let the game come to him, but I think when we need big catches that he will be the guy we need to go to."

This Keystone Chorus Quartet performed last week in the Canonsburg Borough office. From the left are Bill Smith, Lawrence; Stan Kleja, Upper St. Clair; Paul Schaughency, Scott; and Ken Williams, Bethel Park. The barbershoppers received a proclamation from Canonsburg Mayor Dave Rhome who issued an announcement acknowledging April 7-13 as Barbershop Harmony Week.
I love to sing! Whenever I sing, my worries disappear, the stress is gone! Our members have many similar interests and our friendships are welcoming."
I listened to these comments over and over during my visit with members of the South Hills Keystone Chorus last week as the men blended their voices at rehearsal in Bethel Park. Their pleasure was evident as the men entertained this Canonsburg girl with a few bars of the hit song "Melody of Love," made popular by Canonsburg's Polish Prince, Bobby Vinton.
Known for its membership of male singers, ages 20 to 92, Keystone's roster is made up of your neighbors and mine, residing in Bethel Park, McMurray, Upper St. Clair, Washington and Whitehall. Harmonizing together since 1957, the South Hills Keystone Chorus is a division of the Barbershop Harmony Society, celebrating its 75th year.
Members embrace audiences interested in diverse performances. Choose from country, jazz, rock, ballads and patriotic shows fitting each organization's timeframe, including holiday parties and corporate events. They also sing at retirement centers, community events and fairs as well as the group's annual show in November and our country's National Anthem at seasonal events.
"I've always liked to sing," said retired surgeon Dr. Keith Apelgren. "I'm semi-retired now. Since moving to Upper St. Clair from Michigan, time opened up. I joined the group in October 2011."
"More than six years ago I saw a Keystone Chorus announcement posted on the TV community calendar. I called the number and I've been singing with the group since then," said Dick Siebert.
"Our members love barbershop harmony. We hope to keep it alive generation after generation," said Bill Smith. "The Keystone Chorus sponsors quartets from high schools to enter competition. It's the only truly American form of music. We're happy to have W&J student Brandon Rauch singing with us now."
Barbershoppers are known to be dedicated singers. Visiting from Erie, barbershopper Clark Pease stopped by to join the South Hills men in singing a few tunes. "I'll be missing my group's rehearsals, so I'm happy to do a little harmonizing with the Keystone group. I hope to join the Cranberry barbershoppers and possibly the singers in the North Hills while I'm in Pittsburgh."
Upcoming Keystone Chorus events include:
April 23 – Rehearsal and guest (men who love to sing) night, Hamilton Church, Bethel Park
May 11 – Sing Out, The Galleria, Mt. Lebanon
June 5 – Sing Out, Mt. Lebanon Public Library
Nov. 9 – Celebrate 75 years of Harmony, St. Thomas More Family Life Center, Bethel Park
Barbershop harmony spawned in the 1840s, the beginning of the entertainment and recording industry. Minstrel shows and traveling concerts popularized the harmonizers, who reached their peak during the glorious days of vaudeville and burlesque.
The Barbershop Harmony Society was founded in 1938 in Tulsa, Okla., by a group of men who wished to rejuvenate the art of barbershop harmony after the decline of vaudeville and the growth of radio. The largest all-male singing organization in the world has its headquarters in Nashville, boasting 800 chapters and additional barbershoppers in affiliated organizations around the world.
Nashville is also home to the Old Songs Library, said to hold the world's largest privately-held collection of sheet music.
Singing and music are fun for kids of all ages and great enjoyment to listeners. So often we have friends or even family members whom we think we know well and never realize the vocal talent they harbor. For details on the SH Keystone Chorus, visit www.pghkeystonechorus.com
Barbershop Harmony Society International Convention will be held June 30-July 7, 2013, in Toronto, Canada. Pittsburgh will host the international convention in 2015.

By Kilian Asian Tales 5 new fragrances inspired by China
Hot on the heels of the latest release, Amber Oud, Kilian Hennesy of the niche, luxe perfume brand By Kilian is announcing a new collection of fragrances: Asian Tales by Kilian. The new fragrances line is a concept of five fragrant editions that will recount the chinese tradition and pay homage to this great culture.
The first installment called Water Caligraphy, is set to launch officially in 2012, and pays homage to the calligraphy arts of the Far East. The perfumer behind Water Calligraphy and Bamboo Harmony is Calice Becker, who created the majority of By Kilian perfumes.
sparkling grapefruit zest, cherry blossom, delicate water lily
majestic magnolia, jasmine sambac
cardamom and vetiver
bright notes of bergamot, neroli and orange bigarade
white tea leaves, mimosa, illumineted by a touch of spice
rare essence of mate, woven sensual fig leaves and oak moss
The rest of the collection will comprise:
The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (2012), The Peony Pavillion (2013), The Peach Flowers Water Source (2014), and The Lotus Flower and the King Dragon (2015).
The new line, Asian Tales by Kilian, was originally conceived as an olfactory journey. But soon the hidden meanings of symbols and words caught on a more spiritual path. Therefore more than a cultural journey, Asian Tales is an invitation to pay tribute to the spiritual tradition in China's illustrious past.
Side by side with his L'Oeuvre Noire collection, now L'Oeuvre Rouge!
Red is the color of luck and good fortune in China, associated with official ceremonies and nobility. Therefore Kilian Hennesy carefully chose to use red as a token of respect and consistency with Chinese culture. Currency is also considered an amulet in China, therefore coins are traditionally tied to a red ribbon as an invitation to prosperity. Therefore the Asian Tales collection is comprised of the familiar black lacquer wooden boxes which are now lined in red satin, juxtaposing these two powerful shades of opposites. The "key" in the boxes now takes the form of a coin, in polished silver, also tied to a red ribbon and bow, to bring good luck to those who will wear the fragrances. The feeling you get upon opening the box is one of a "precious jewel" being revealed.
Last but not least, the medal/coin that accompanies the bottle is engraved with the lucky number 8 (bearer of prosperity and happiness and a mystical nod to the cosmos, due to its perfectly symmetrical shape that represents infinity and perfect balance). This is put side by side with the letter K, the logo of the By Kilian brand.
1.7 oz Natural Spray Water Calligraphy and Bamboo Harmony will retail for 175 from March 2012.
EdT's? EdP's?
"All problems are illusions of the mind."
-- Eckhart Tolle
Thinking of the inspiration, I would expect By Kilian to go light and airy with these. But looking at the notes again, I see some heavy hitters there; jasmin, magnolia, cardamom and even oak moss, so who knows. Bamboo Harmony sounds most promising, I hope it turns out to be an unsweet, greenish tea scent.
well, hmmm, ohhhh....
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
Just know I will love all five........but bring on the *bamboo harmony* ASAP!
Always keep Ithaca on your mind. Cavafy
Apparently Kilian Hennesy is reading my mind because I've been wondering how China might be represented in perfumery. My interest is piqued...
Pretty long wait for the King Dragon, eh? I suppose Ms Becker wants to make sure she has a steady job over the next few years. Wonder how the red packaging will look like though...
There's a picture on fragrantica.
Not 'my' house... ah yes, it's 3.50 Euros per ml we are talking about. Sounds like EdTs? :P
Hmm, I don't understand the logic. 2012 is the year of dragon and they wait another 3 years to introduce King Dragon?
I am interested in the offerings of By Kilian. Thank you for sharing.
For an Asian inspiration, Romeo d'Ameor made The Empresses of Japan (Les Imperiatrices Japonaises) Florals with incense. The Guide calls it the best in the line, as a "floral joss stick."
From NST:
"white floral notes (peony, lily, ylang-ylang, heliotrope). Another breeze brings the soft and powdery notes of iris and violet…" Also has notes of freesia, melon, violet, rose, lily-of-the-valley, orris root, vetiver, teak wood, sandalwood and tonka bean."
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
I think I'll go broke sampling these.
The Bamboo one sounds interesting - it will be interesting to see how this one is weighted with those notes.
I wonder if we'll see a decent Osmanthus turn up amongst these at some point? It's an under-explored note IMO, either pretty literal (Hermes / TDC) or apricot suede (Daim Blond) but it's capable of a lot more, and that's just going on the way it's used in cuisine . . . and there's some very interesting oud like essences in the west around Szechuan province that could be pressed into service (little pun, there, notice that?).
I just hope Kilian doesn't buy into this 'yes, but Asians like light floral notes' cliché that just won't go away.
I think Ginger will feature in the new Guerlain, BTW.
They sound very interesting.
Honestly, I think Kilian will do this right. I would be shocked if he went cliché-level subtle. And besides, I tend to think of the (arguable) preference for subtle F&F as more of a Japanese thing - if that cliché has any validity at all, as it does in sweets and fine confections, where big and bold seem to be more "gehin" (or certainly are, according to my wife).
I agree on the osmanthus - it would be nice to see more emphasis on it.
And while we're on the subject, today is a Public Holiday here and throughout China and some other Asian countries as we celebrate New Year's Day.
Happy Lunar New Year to everybody whether you are in Asia or not, wishing you a Happy, Healthy & Prosperous Year of the Dragon
Personally, I'm really looking forward to the Water Calligraphy release. Visiting my wife's uncle's calligraphy studio was one of the high points of our last trip to Japan. I would love to see what Calice Becker and Kilian do with that idea.
Is is true a lot of people this this house is over rated, I actually enjoyed a few?
They are pricey. There's no denying that. But seriously, you get what you pay for, IMO. There is polish on his stuff, and it smells nearly 100% great from beginning to end. That costs money to pull off. I love several of his frags at FBW levels, and actually have one FB in the fancy box and all.
No Saks near me but apparently these are now available as of today. Anyone living near a Saks want to swing by, test them and give us some initial reviews? Very curious about the Bamboo scent
I joined months ago and have yet to receive anything
Looking forward to trying these out ! Especially the bamboo scent ( hoping there's an aroma of bamoboo in it . ) There are not enough bamboo scents around !
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
Indeed the first two are available at sacks but no uk shipping alas ... And we are still waiting for sweet redemption here too
I'm waiting for someone to get on the Roasted Duck accord.
To be honest, I suspect something nice could come of that.
Even if all it means is that you become appreciated by cats.
Kilian Hennesy [French accent, imperfect English pronunciation]:
"Err, okay, so we've established ourselves in the West with L'Oeuvre Noire Collection and, err, have attracted the lucratif Middle Eastern market with our Arabian Nights Collection. So err, what is next? Hmmmm...
Oooooooh! Oui, oui, oui!!! China is supposed to be the next, err, super economee, no? Why don't we, err, create a collection particulièrement for Ahsia! Yes, but let's bring in a leettle, err, spiritualitee. C'est géniale! Ooh la la!"
If you do join his facebook page you'll likely get samples for free in the mail. Lots of people here got Amber Oud...
I am interested to try the new BK frags, but I'm not sure I will appreciate them... hard to say, but I will give them a try. I just hope they are not done in a style similar to JCE's stuff, I am not a big fan of his "minimalist" frags, many of which are far too synthetic-heavy... (put DOWN the iso-e super!).
Just noticed on Saks website that Kilian will be at Tysons Corner location Saturday April 21st from 1-5 for the launch of Asian Tales. Looks like I'm driving to Virginia.
I really respect By Kilian and his marketin concept, but Back To Black is the only gem I found from his entire line.
I don´t know why I really cannot love his fragrances, although I want to like and love them
His fragrances smell like miscompleted to me inspite of good ingredients, good ideas and concepts.
His fragrances are just fragrances for room. I will not spray them on my skin, but in my room.
Has anyone tried these new ones yet? I can't believe there's not a single initial impression anywhere on these

Yeah I think you have to actually visit a Saks to test them out. Unfortunately the Saks in Portland closed but most other major cities seem to have them still. Just weird nobody has tried them yet.
to all basenoter tycoons, host split for these fragrance please....
I tried Water Caligraphy today from the sample set they sent out (had Bamboo Harmony too).
The first thing that hits you is the grapefruit and its definately the zest and pithy type as opposed to the fleshy kind, Its supported by a very floral underlayer and a slightly dry cherry blossom leaf which is really well done. The base smells a little like ylang-ylang but its quite a subtle impression of a magnolia and jasmine.
I was hoping for a little more intrigue but it smells a little too familar and many will find it safe, Its does what the name suggests as its watery and has an air of purity but thankfully not transparent and has the usual quality mark you'd expect from this house.
The florals are very evident and are the mainstay of the fragrance so maybe it leans towards the feminine side of unisex but I'd have no problem wearing it again.
I'll give Bamboo Harmony a go tomorrow.
What do you get if you take Invasion Barbare and remove the violet accord and replace it with bright shimmering Tea? You get a good approximation of what Bamboo Harmony does.
Its a great modern Fougere which has a very similar structure to MDCI's offering. It doesn't quite have the suave ambiance of IB but its a more delicate take on the same theme (they could be brother and sister). Its been a freezing cold day here so its not really had its chance to shine and I'll try it again when the weather isn't so crappy.
100% unisex and very easy to wear. Thumbs up so far.
Thanks for posting your reviews, Kron. Both sound very interesting.
Kron thank you very much for your impressions and the photo!
saw these first two at Saks in NYC... I won't write a review since I just sniffed at them so didn't get a proper impressions...
oh, btw I think the red plush with black box looks nice!
Tom Ford Splits!!!! - Tobacco Vanille, Tuscan Leather, Oud Wood, Noir de Noir - PATCHOULI ABSOLU
Plum Japonais, Italian Cypress, Neroli Portofino, Costa Azzura, Azure Lime, Champacca Absolute
HARD TO FIND - Lavender Palm, Arabian Wood, and AMBER ABSOLUTE, etc...
Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
Thanks Kron for the reviews. Now I have to try Bamboo Harmony...
... Woah! Definitely sounds interesting.
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
They will probably do quite well here with the casual shopper - nice packaging and both very well crafted, inoffensive, light, uplifting etc. but basically safe and derivative. I'm sorry I can't roll off the names of what they both remind me of but original these are not. I wore Bamboo Harmony again today and I will say it seems to have good ingredients (no cheap notes), and pretty good tenacity and it is, indeed, very nice, but there's nothing here to interest me personally. My fears of above in the thread have materialised
I wore Bamboo Harmony yesterday. It is not strong, but it lasts for a long time. My impression was a very soft white tea with osmanthus, although there is no osmanthus note, at least I don't remember that on what I have read. I liked it, it is very pretty, but it is not my style. I would not refuse it if somebody gave it to me (hint, hint ), but I normally go for either greens or orientals. I love several by Kilians, and BH is indeed very beautiful, but not my thing.
I only smelled Water Caligraphy briefly on Friday after I got my samples. I prefer Bamboo Harmony. Water Caligraphy is more, how shall I say, aquatic?. There is a note in the heart that I did not care for. I liked the dry down, but I need to give it a full wearing.
Yeah baby, give me some more safe, me too scents.
Got my samples, thank you Kilian!
Bamboo harmony starts out with one of the best citrus openings I've yet experienced, they are giving Malle's Bigarade Concentre and Xerjoff's Kobe a run for their money in this department. There is a clean musk, tea and some spices in the background. It is a rather simple, uncluttered scent.
I agree with others that this is a mellow, laid back frag. "Safe", maybe... but IMO this is really well done. I don't necessarily share some BN'ers tastes for shock and awe in my frags though. I think this deserves some wear in the summer heat, it's going to be a great fresh citrus option. I find major issues with many frags in this category for having a synthetic smelling edge to them, Chanel Allure Sport for example... so finding one that comes off as natural smelling and also has at least moderate lasting power is somewhat difficult. I think the people that will like this are ones who appreciate a frag that is both understated yet polished. You can certainly get many, many "similar" frags for far cheaper, but they won't be as polished. IDK, polished is a bad word maybe... I'd say just exceptionally well composed and lacking in obvious flaws. So far, I cannot find anything that I dislike and whatever synthetic aroma chemicals that were used don't stick out and don't bother me.
For people who enjoy frags like TF Neroli Portofino or Malle's Bigarade Concentre, this has a similar vibe but is in a different league... far far superior IMO. It does have a JCE-like vibe to it, but the apparent use of more natural ingredients than JCE normally uses gives the notes a complexity that is lacking in most of JCE's frags. So I guess this is bordering on minimalist, but the quality of the ingredients lift this from becoming a yawn fest despite the simplicity of the composition. I could almost see this as a Hermessence frag, but if it was, it would be the best of the line IMO.
My initial rating is 5/5. Best fresh-citrus frag I've ever tried so far.
Water Calligraphy is a nice floral aquatic, definitely feminine leaning... not something I'd wear. It's ok I guess, but I'm not interested in this one.
LOL @ Trebor
And I thought Black Sabbath was a bad influence!
I am wearing Water Calligraphy today from a sample. I was hoping for more of the "effervescent magnolia" promised by the advertising, but I still like it. It conjures up landscapes of pink blossoms floating on water. It is suprisingly tenacious, too.
I tried Bamboo Harmony as well. It strongly reminded me of The Different Company De Bachmakov--the similarity is great to my nose. However, Bamboo Harmony is somehow better, more refined... It is a very lively fragrance, perfect for summer, if anyone likes this genre.

Do you see what you've just done? You've essentially claimed "Whatever ELSE you're hearing about god is false messaging; I'VE got the real truth."
This is the problem with faith, and it's why religious moderation is no solution. If YOU get to define your faith as anything you'd like, then the same right must be afforded to anyone else. Your 'holy' scripture is just words on a page; there is nothing inherently 'holy' about the words unless you (or someone else with a slightly different take on things) say so.
You'll find that that "...but that's not MY faith…" argument doesn't fly around these parts. Until you are ready to subject your faith to the light of reason, and abandon it if it conflicts with that which is demonstrably true, then your version of Christianity is no different (in literal, if not moral terms) than anyone elses.
Exactly, all true Christians believe the same central theology. Yes, we can disagree on Arminianism vs. Calvinism, predestination vs. free will, but we all believe in the power of Jesus' death and resurrection, his atonement for our sins, and the sanctification when we accept Him as our Savior. That's why I Timothy says to "test the spirits." That's what other Christians do, we see if there view of salvation lines up with ours. That's how you can tell if someone believes. We can't be a Christian and not believe in the virgin birth. We can't be Christians and not believe in the divinity of Christ, his theoanthropic qualities, and we can't believe that Jesus is not God. If you hear anyone say any of these things, they are not Christians. So, you can say that millions of other people believe this way and that, and that helps your argument none. Yes, there are things that can be argued in the Christian faith, but you CANNOT argue the central truth about Jesus and be a Christian. There is but one way.
I'm certainly glad to see that you agree with the basic tenets of my post, but would you not also grant that one can believe all of these things, perform unmentionable atrocities such as torture and execution for blasphemy and apostasy , child torture and rape , or microwaving of children , and still call themselves "Christian"? Their version of faith is on equal evidentiary (if not moral) ground as yours. On what basis should we conclude that YOUR version of Christianity is right or wrong? We accept that all Christians must accept the virgin birth and resurrection; some accept transubstantiation; are they right about that? And if YOU (or anyone else) get to decide that, then why can't I simply say "You know what? You're all wrong!"
This is all to say that the argument that what other people are doing isn't the TRUE faith is very poor form indeed.
And that is exactly the problem with your argument. You treat the abnormal as if it were normal. Do you know how far I would distance myself from fanatics like this. These are not examples of how strengthen your argument, because they are purely subjective. You must also include the Christians that don't practice such absurd things.
Thats exactly what you do with evolution to. There are so many holes in evolution that is should be the Science of Gaps, if you also call Yahweh the God of Gaps. And yet, "brilliant" minds still hold onto the fallacy that is evolution, calling it FACT even in the face of loads of evidence against it. Somehow in all your jargon and intellectualism you think you find a way around the huge holes in evolution, even to the point of denying that they exist. Where does it stop? As long as we treat as fact(evolution) what is truly fiction, we cannot make progress towards identifying the solution.
I can't wait for the rebuttal. "Show me the FACT that God exists then."
Well, prove to me that He doesn't. I challenge you.
