Importing Vehicles and Engines into the U.S.
Exporting U.S. Vehicles or Engines
If you are exporting a U.S. version vehicle or engine, you will need to check the requirements of the country to which the vehicle or engine is being exported. Some countries may require you to submit a copy of the vehicle's or engine's Certificate of Conformity and Certificate Summary Information (test data).
- How to obtain a certificate for a light-duty vehicle (car, truck, or motorcycle).
- How to obtain a certificate for a heavy-duty engine or nonroad engine.
Additionally, EPA has determined that leaded gasoline is still available in certain countries. If you are exporting a U.S. version motor vehicle, and you believe that unleaded gasoline may not be available in all areas that the vehicle will be driven, you may obtain authorization from EPA to remove the catalyst and oxygen sensors before the vehicle is shipped overseas. Removing the catalyst and oxygen sensors prior to shipping the vehicle overseas protects them from possible contamination from leaded gasoline. The catalyst and oxygen sensors must then be reinstalled when the vehicle returns to the U.S.. To obtain EPA authorization to remove the catalyst and oxygen sensors, call the Air Enforcement Division at (202) 564-2260. The vehicle owner is responsible for determining whether unleaded gasoline is available or used in the country in which the owner intends to operate the U.S. version vehicle.

So far, 2013 has been good to television fans.
The year opened with the usual avalanche of new shows that arrives every January, and a surprising number of them have proven to be quite watchable.
This has kept your friendly neighborhood TV critic in good spirits as he slogged his way through about three dozen series premieres. Here is my report card on the year so far, with capsule reviews of the most notable debuts, more or less in my order of preference.
One caveat: The reviews are based on the first episode or two of most of these shows. Some will get better and some will get worse, and I reserve the right to abruptly change my grade at some future point.
"The Americans" (FX, 10 p.m. Wednesdays) – A dark and fascinating drama about a pair of KGB spies living in deep cover as a suburban American couple in 1980s Washington D.C. Keri Russell stars as the unshakably loyal Soviet; Matthew Rhys plays her husband, who feels the lure of turning their sham life into a real one. Grade: A
"Legit" (FX, 10:30 Thursdays) – Not for the easily offended – or even the not-so-easily offended. The comedy here is utterly outrageous, going to places you would not think a TV show would ever dare. And yet at the core, Australian comic Jim Jeffries' comedy is a sweet tale about friendship and love. Grade: A-
"Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan" (BBC America, 10 p.m. Tuesdays) – The former hobbit turns into a credible Steve Irwin substitute in this series, part travelogue and part nature quest. You want "reality" TV? Watch Monaghan grab a cobra by the tail. Grade: A-
"Ripper Street" (BBC America, 9 p.m. Saturdays) – A detective drama set in Victorian London, long before the modern crime-solving tools let TV cops turn a carpet fiber into a murder conviction. Grade: B+
"The Following" (Fox, 9 p.m. Mondays) – This serial-killer serial is brutal, both physically and psychologically, and yet it is fascinating, too. Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy are great as the cop and the killer. The intricacy of the plot and the seeming hopelessness of Bacon's character are very reminiscent of "24." Grade: B+
"Real Husbands of Hollywood" (BET, 10 p.m. Tuesdays) – Somebody had to satirize the "Real Housewives," and we're glad Kevin Hart and his friends stepped up to the plate. This goofy, semi-scripted comedy pokes fun at all the reality show clichés. Grade: B+
"Banshee" (Cinemax, 10 p.m. Fridays) – My guilty pleasure of the moment, and an extremely guilty one at that. This action series – and "action" comes in every variety that implies – rests on an utterly unbelievable premise, but the individual episodes are a lot of fun. Imagine "Walker: Texas Ranger" as re-envisioned by Cinemax's late-night team. Grade: B-
"Continuum" (Syfy, 8 p.m. Mondays) – Rachel Nichols is awesome as a police officer accidentally sent from 2077 to the present along with a cabal of murderous rebels. As with any time-travel fiction, the show wrestles with plot holes and improbabilities, but on the whole it is a fun sci-fi/police-procedural mash-up. Grade: B-
"The Carrie Diaries" (CW, 8 p.m. Mondays) – A lot of "Sex & the City" fans hate this prequel, but it really isn't meant for them. Yes, the protagonist will grow up to be the Carrie Bradshaw of the HBO comedy, but here she is a 16-year-old in a dramedy aimed at teenage girls. And it's about as good as a show like that gets. Grade: B-

Assignment 1 - Software Transactional Memory implementation for Groovy
STM is one of the promising concepts that aim to enable developers to write safe concurrent code. Several promising open source JVM-based implementations have appeared recently - (http://multiverse.codehaus.org/overview.html, http://code.google.com/p/deuce/, http://akkasource.org/). As an initial part of the assignment the existing options should be investigated in order to build a suitable STM strategy for the GPars project. A second part of the assignment would be to implement a Groovy wrapper around the chosen solution, integrating smoothly STM into Groovy and the GPars library as well as providing an intuitive API or a set of DSLs.
Assignment 2 - Remoting
The distinction between single-VM concurrency and concurrency among distributed nodes is becoming blurred. Actors can be distributed across multiple nodes in a network, dataflow variables and channels can transport values across the single-machine boundary as well as the state preserved by agents can reside on a particular place in the network and may need to be accessed from other places. As part of this assignment the participant would design and implement remoting for actors, agents and dataflow channels. Ideally remoting should not have impact on the existing API, should be pluggable to leverage different communication protocols and should be implemented as an optional add-on to limit performance and memory overhead when single-machine concurrency is used.

Happy Mother's Day!
DW was involved in a parking lot car accident last week. Guess a good time to revisit the car insurance issue. Hope getting your inputs on a range of questions below:
1. A simple parking lot accident. We called the police. But when he came, the policeman didn't bother asking our license, or what happened, or issued any ticket to either party. He said parking lots are private properties not governed by traffic law. Guess he's right? We're in California.
2. We called our insurance company to report the accident. As a boglehead, we bought a high deductible policy so don't expect to get any payment since the car body damage is minimal (just some scratch and paint problems). But we are concerned if the other party would claim against our policy, though he didn't claim any injury on the spot. Is this a right way to do to report to the insurance company even though both sides consider a very minor accident? The agent told us an adjuster would call us later. Not sure what to expect. Any general advice for this type of accident.
3. I took our policy. Currently we have 500K bodily injury coverage, 50 K property, but no medical payment coverage. Two questions here: do you think this is about right, or should I increase this further?
4. I got a bit confused about medical payment insurance. I didn't buy it because I assumed: if I were injured, my health plan pays it. If my passengers got hurt, the bodily injury coverage pays it either from my policy (if I were at fault), or the other driver (if he/she were at fault). Is this true? What if the other driver were at fault, but he/she didn't have coverage, would my passengers have any legal grounds suing me then? In this hypothetical case that I were not at fault, would my insurance refuse to pay and I were left defending on my own? If so, what could I do today to help in this type of situations?

text: Greetings all, First time poster here. Just wanted to say very nice forum and very informative. I was curious on getting some information on some guns that were left by my great grandfather. One is a cap fired gun? with a screw off barrel. Seems pretty old LOL, looks like something a pirate would have. The only marking I could find is the number 15 stamped on it. The other gun is a PIN fire revolver? (Not sure on all the correct terminology Please forgive my ignorance) It has the stamping of ELG in a circle with a star, I believe it is British or French. It could be neither that's why I'm inquiring here to gain some knowledge. Thanks in advance for any info......Oh ya here are some pics of the above mentioned relics

An anonymous reader writes "It may be hard for Facebook HR infrastructure to keep up with the rapid growth of the company, so scheduling and performing Skype screening interviews with the prospective new developers appears deteriorating into disorderly jumble. In a blog post, a recent candidate for a development job at Facebook has shared his excruciation at coordinating and then having this preliminary interview, pointing out the unhelpfulness of HR staff at Facebook during all stages of the process."

This weekend, legendary environmental writer and activist Wendell Berry leaves his Kentucky farm for an inspiring conversation, and rare TV interview, with veteran journalist Bill Moyers on Moyers & Company. In an excerpt from that conversation below, Berry talks about how humans live at the expense of other creatures, making it our responsibility to treat those animals "with the minimum of violence."
"It's always great to see an esteemed figure like Wendell Berry sticking up for farm animals and so eloquently drawing that vital connection between respecting animals, our environment and ourselves," says ASPCA Farm Animal Welfare Campaign Director Suzanne McMillan.
You can watch the full Moyers & Company interview this weekend on most public broadcasting stations.
MINIMUM of violence?? How about NO violence...
Food animals live VERY short lives. There is no way to delude yourselves that this is ever O. K. or humane. You will NEVER make animal farming humane. You KILL them. Don't try to cover up this horror under a banner of kindness.
Go the limit...NO VIOLENCE, otherwise this is bull shit. The ultimate violence is depriving another being of their life. Nobody has the right to do this to another. Eating animal cadavers is NOT essential to human life and is destroying the planet in so many ways so this conversation is a very bad joke on the animals.
Preachy touchy-feely grand standing statements about nevah evah killing any animal is just pie in the sky hooey.
1) Not everyone can be strict vegetarian/vegan. I'm talking about HEALTH here, not choice.
2) You want to feed 7+ billion people just with plant-based diet? Get ready to kill millions of animals who will die from having their natural habitat destroyed.
Let's get real, shall we?
cant wait to have that cow between two buns

China's 22 Points Leads Lady Falcons to 65-56 Home Opening Win over Brevard
November 16, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer senior Domonique China (Durham, NC) poured in a game-high 22 points leading the Lady Falcons to a 65-56 win over visiting Brevard College in non-conference womens basketball on Tuesday night. Tuesday marked the second-straight home opening victory for Pfeiffer evening to 1-1 on the year while the Tornados dip to 0-3.
After an opening three by Brevards Lindsay Brendle (High Point, NC) and layup by Amanda Whitaker (Asheville, NC) 2:16 into the contest, Pfeiffer would take the lead for good on a triple by China just 16 seconds later.
A basket by Micheala Watkins (Forest City, NC) brought the Tornados back to within one until the Lady Falcons erupted for a 13-0 run fueled by a pair of Brittany Cox (Winston-Salem, NC) threes with another China triple in the middle.
Pfeiffer would hold a double-digit lead for the remainder of the half getting out to as much as a 14-point lead on six different occasions. A pair of buckets by Watkins again sliced the Lady Falcon lead down to 10, but a jumper in the lane by Celeste Caudill (Sparta, NC) at the buzzer secured a 38-24 Pfeiffer lead at the break.
The hosts held their double-digit advantage until the 14:25 mark of the second as Brevards Candice Fritz (North East, MD) drained a couple of free throws cutting the lead back to nine. A late 8-0 run by the Tornados midway through the stanza trimmed the deficit to a half-dozen on a layup by Holli Flippo (Kingston Springs, TN). A pair of Christina Harvey (Locust Grove, VA) free throws stopped the temporary spurt by the visitors as Pfeiffer held on for the nine point win.
Behind China, Harvey finished with a dozen points while Devona Knight (Woodbridge, VA) concluded with 10. For Brevard, Fritz posted a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds while Watkins and Brendle each delivered double-digit outputs with 14 and 13 points, respectively. Brevard did hold the team advantage in field goal percentage and rebounds, but Pfeiffer held the mark in three-points and charity stripe baskets.
Pfeiffer will return to action this weekend in the Queen City Classic hosted by Johnson C. Smith on Saturday and Sunday. The Lady Falcons will take on the host Bulls at 4:00 p.m. Saturday while battling Livingstone at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Marc Barros' father moved to Seattle from Brazil when he was 25 to start a new life. Barros, who launched Contour, a company that manufactures video cameras, while he was still an undergraduate in college, says that his father's story has largely influenced his own approach to business.

But within a couple of years, he claims he went from $50,000 in debt to flipping over 300 properties a year, becoming a multimillionaire, and founded The Armando Montelongo Company. Montelongo says he does not like to play up his Hispanic roots as an entrepreneur. "When people go and use their ethnicity for a crutch or a springboard, it creates a weakness," he says. "I'm not known as a Hispanic businessman, I'm known as a businessman."
No. 20
2010 Revenue: $15.7 million
Three-Year Growth: 8,127%
Matias De Tezanos has lived in many places. He was born in San Jose and grew up in Guatemala city.

Charfen Institute
No. 21
2010 Revenue: $9.9 million
Three-Year Growth: 8,007%
Alex Charfen (pictured third from the right at the bottom) grew up in Mexico City and moved to the United States when he was five.

MZI Group
No. 52
2010 Revenue: $8.7 million
Three-Year Growth: 3,874%
Arthur Miller grew up on the south side of Chicago, where he was raised by his Puerto-Rican born mother. "My Latino core values taught me to have pride and integrity in who I am and the work that I perform," he says. MZI Group, a construction firm, "prides itself on employing Latino's and doing business with other Latino firms. If we don't promote other Latino business why should I expect non-Latino business to engage our community?"
Wilmington, N.C.
No. 61
2010 Revenue: $7.6 million
Three-Year Growth: 3,458%
Carlos Lagomarsino was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, where his father worked for IBM. His family moved to the United States when he was a baby, but Carlos has lived all over, including Peru and Puerto Rico. The experience has helped him in business. "I was exposed to a wide variety of people," says the founder of HomeInsurance.com. "Early on I noticed that diversity is a good thing and beneficial for the workplace."
Link America
Rowlett, Texas
No. 66
2010 Revenue: $136.3 million
Three-Year Growth: 3,224%
Andres Ruzo was born in Peru and grew up in Lima where his father was an entrepreneur and his mother—a chef—was "the Julia Childs of Peru." In 1994, Ruzo founded Link America, a firm that sells equipment within the communications industry, and says that his cultural roots are directly linked to his success as an entrepreneur. "Our origin, culture, ethnicity, and history is what defines your path as a person, and most importantly, drives your "why" for your life journey," he says.
No. 97
2010 Revenue: $9.9 million
Three-Year Growth: 2,679%
Jose L. Prendes was born in Cuba in 1971 and lived under the communist regime until 1985, when Prendes, along with his mother and sister, fled to South America, and legally emigrated to the U.S. in 1991. On the success of PureFormulas.com, an online vitamin and health product retailer, Prendes is blunt: "I'm very analytical and I'm convinced I'm a very lucky guy."
Vienna, Virginia
No. 107
2010 Revenue: $331.1 million
Three-Year Growth: 2,579%
Tony Jimenez, a native of Puerto Rico, enlisted in the U.S. Army and spent 24 years serving in four overseas tours and in five combat zones. When it came to founding MicroTech, which manufactures and manages technology products, the experience prepared him for life as an entrepreneur. "My military career offered a number of important learning experiences and lessons that would all come into play when I started my own company," he says.
Provideo Management
Sterling, Virgina
No. 109
2010 Revenue: $5.7 million
Three-Year Growth: 2,466%
In 1969, when he was two-years-old, Guillermo (Bill) Calvo's family emigrated from Peru to the suburbs of D.C. Regardless of his immersion in American culture, being someone who has an ethnic "origin" does have an effect in life, he says. For example, Provideo is a certified 8(a) Small Disadvantaged Business and Calvo (pictured on the left) says he's "met people with the gall to say—out loud—my success is because I was given this certification as a 'handout,'" despite the fact that these contracts account for less than a quarter Provideo's revenue. "When things like this happen, I am affected briefly then move on with even more vigor to succeed."

Meet Me Monday
Name: Jordan Craven
Agency: Kinston Department of Public Safety, Fire and Rescue Division
Rank: Captain
Education: South Lenoir High School, 2005
Joined KDPS: Sept. 24, 2007
Fun Fact: Engaged Dec. 21, 2012
He became a professional firefighter at 19 years old, and a captain at 25.
But, the path started even earlier than that.
"It was something I wanted to do when I was younger," Jordan Craven said, who was promoted to his current rank with the Kinston Department of Public Safety's Fire and Rescue Division in October 2012. "I actually got my start in a volunteer fire department — Southwood on (N.C.) 58 South — I started there when I was 16, kind of got my feet wet with it and decided it was something I wanted to do as a career."
Specifically, Craven's a training and safety captain. It's his job to make sure his fellow firefighters are properly outfitted and have the right training to not only meet the state's standards, but also be successful when duty calls. Soon, he'll be starting a medical responder class, which is a state-certified EMS program.
"Why I got into the fire service is to help people," Craven said. "To me, helping people, providing a service to the citizens of the community, and surrounding communities as they pass through our city — that's the biggest thing to me … that I'm trained to the best of my ability and have the adequate equipment to protect the people."
In the years that he's been fighting fires, the incident that sticks with Craven the most is the Kinston Fibers fire in November 2011, when he and his captain — Leslie Jenkins — barely had enough oxygen to make it out of the building.
"Me and my captain actually went in, we found the fire, and we started getting low on air. So, we started going out and began to get disoriented because there was so much smoke and machinery," Craven said. "We actually called for help. Me and my captain ran out of air inside the building — I was right at running out of air when I came out of the building.
"That's something we train on a lot, but rarely, rarely have to do. We do what we call a 'mayday' over the radio, where we have people come in and help. Being in that situation, and actually being the one to have to call mayday for the guys to come in and get me — that's something that I will never forget."

This is the story of a man who has yet to realize what destiny holds in store for him... Far in the future, humans have lived underground, quietly and restlessly, for hundreds of years, suffering from frequent earthquake and land subsidence. In Giha Village, one such underground community, live two young men. Simon is shy and naive, while Kamina believes in existence of a "surface" world above their heads.

Clinton, Utah
Comment: Bought mine during the Clunker exchange program. Figured I couldn't waste a $40 discount coupon. Traded my old leather in for a new one. I'm impressed. Coat is just as heavy and fits better. The nylon zippers may pose a problem in the future but we'll see. This is a well made jacket. Looking forward to wearing it next riding season.

Comment: Nice jacket ,4 day shipping.Fits great, leather nice and soft great for summer night riding.Bought many items from Jafrum and will buy more.
Comment: i'm 5'10" and about 195 pounds with a 44" chest and the XL fit me fine. I have just enough room to wear my vest underneath and a sweatshirt if needed. Venting is great and the sleeves are a little long with my arms down but perfect length when riding. All snaps are hidden on mine. First Buffalo leather jacket i have bought and couldn't be happier.
Iron Mountain, MI
Comment: Much better leather than expected, I've owned others that cost a lot more (teach me for shopping at a dept store-lol), and really, none this nice. A butt load of pockets and appears to be very well made. Probably should have bought two!
Richard Holcomb
Louisville, KY
Comment: There's not much to say, just another great buy from Jafrum. Love the jacket, at a great price.
Winston, Ga
Comment: I highly recommend this jacket Very warm. I ride every day year round and with my old jacket, I would have to ware layers as the temperatures start to get in the low 40, so far this year the coldest temperature was 36 F with this jacket and no layers I was very warm and no wind penetration. I ride 50 miles one way to work and in the afternoon ride the 50 miles home. The ride home sometimes gets warm defiantly need all vents open. This is a heavy jacket would not recommend for warm weather but for cold weather well worth it at an excellent price. If you like the looks don't hesitate on the warmth of this jacket buy it!!!!
Comment: Great middle weight jacket, for biking up here in Canada for the summer. Good ventilation even with a vest on. I would recommend to buy at the sale price.
Comment: Very nice leather and comfortable to wear even with the armor.

Comment: I ordered this jacket Tuesday and received it Saturday (Today). I was shocked at the quality of this jacket. I expected a typical leather jacket but this took my breath away. WOW- best leather jacket I have ever purchased. I'm totally happy with my choice and I'll be on the road wearing this everywhere I go. What a bargain.
Samuel Adams

Comment: Wow.... now this is a motorcycle jacket! I was totally set back when I received this jacket. Heavy leather and safe guards where they are needed. I'll be ordering another jacket because of the quality of this one.......
West Covina, California
Comment: Very pleased with this jacket. It is heavy and has an amazing amount of pockets. Being black it will bet warm in some weather but the dual front zippers and dual full length rear zippers allow plenty of air to flow around your chest. I have worn it for a month now riding 900 miles in the process. I took the padded elbows and back pad out right away. Plenty of good things about this jacket and only 1 possible negative - that is the nylon zippers. I have had mine get hung up twice and you need to carefully work it back into place - think I will try a little light was on them to see if that helps. Overall VERY PLEASED and would buy it again. Love it...
Pueblo, Colorado
Comment: I ordered an extra large and it was too big so I returned it. I'm waiting for Jafrum to get the jackets in brown, size large in stock so I can re-order.
I'm 5'9" and 190 lbs and the XL was way too big.
The jacket is very impressive and a great price, so I'm giving it 5 stars even though I had to return it.
Temple Smith

Comment: Delivery was very quick, couple of days. The jacket is good quality and heavy , excellent fit as per the size chart selection. I am very impressed with this jacket, vented Detour 8001. Caught it on sale and it is well worth the price? I would recommend it to my friends!
Red Hues
Hampton, Va.
Comment: The Detour 8001 is all that. A well constructed Jacket and functional. All the venting you will need on the road. Like most people stated, order 1 size larger for a better fit. This jacket is for serious bikers, it will take some time to break in but you will definitely be well protected from the elements and most anything that comes up.
Bryan M. Moquin
Comment: Always wanted a leather riding jacket but have settled for fabric. At this price I had to give the jacket a try.....Love it! Quality construction ...great look ...rock solid leather. Looking forward to many miles of riding
Dr, Ted

Comment: This is a nice heavy well built jacket, but the size chart is not accurate.
I lost some weight this year and my old leather jacket for cool weather is a bit too loose (size 48). My chest is down to a 46 with 36' waist (5'-9" & ~200lbs) and I bought the XL jacket per the size chart. It fit me just like my old leather jacket. I sent it back and ordered the large.
The large fits me perfectly and I still have room for layering. This is a great jacket with lots of pockets and a great venting system. It should let a lot of air flow through.
Raleigh, NC
Comment: Bought the Detour 8001 as a gift. He was very pleased...couldn't get him to take it off! He was pleased with the look, quality and storage pockets. I was excited with the price. Thx

Comment: The overall quality of the jacket was great. Leather was thick and not too stiff. Great fit and feel. Only issue was with the nylon zipper. Several teeth broke off on the 2nd day I wore it. Returned the jacket with no issues and ordered a different one with a metal zipper.
Phoenix, Arizona
Comment: This is my second leather motorcycle jacket from Jafrum. I've been riding three seasons on my first purchase and this was a Christmas gift for my son.
The jacket is heavy leather, the zippers are strong and durable, and the many pockets are well designed and thought out. It is warm and has a removable quilted liner for the colder temps, which I've ridden into the 40's with a couple of sweatshirts underneath.
I almost exclusively buy MoCo products for my Harley as I don't want to skimp. For my leather, I buy Jafrum. The MoCo jackets are 4 times as much, but the quality, style, and prices of the Jafrum products are unmatched. Highly recommend Jafrum!!!
St. Charles, Missouri
Comment: Great buy, nice heavy jacket, but with plenty of vents to keep very cool on a warm day.
Southern CA.
Comment: This jacket was a PERFECT FIT right out of the box. I ordered this jacket in a medium size as I am 5'10" and buy shirts with 34"/35" sleeves. Heavy weight, warm with inner liner and teh vents are just enough to keep you cool in the warm sun.
Rebel in the North
New York
Comment: I am impressed with the quality and features. Heavy leather, metal zippers and nice linings. I am 6'2" with a 52' Chest and 275 lbs. The size 4X from the chart was right on the fit. The jacket has good range of motion and sleeves cut long for reaching the bars. I would recommend this jacket, especially at this price.
Saratoga NY
Comment: This is the heaviest jacket I've ever owned. It is just about as heavy as the genuine Harley jacket I nearly bought for $560, and the quality seems about the same (minus the great Harley graphics). This jacket fits as claimed, though note that if you are buying a 4 or 5XL the sleeves may be a bit long unless you are over 6 feet tall. I bought the buffalo brown model, and it looks great. The leather is soft and pliable and does not look all shiny and new but more like you've had the jacket for a while. I highly recommend this jacket. Great price and perfect for cold spring and fall rides.
William Jensen
Montreal, Quebec
Comment: Heavy well made jacket. Make sure to give time to break in. Buffalo leather thick and warm. Storage space galore. Love the styling, would recommend this jacket to all. Removed the armor, not my thing. Have seen 400 to 500 dollar jackets that are not as well built. Buy this coat!!

Comment: This jacket is heavy. Pulled the liner and no difference. I've had others with bigger names and they weren't this nice. Great jacket, great price. I recommend it.
Paul Cleveland
Concord, CA
Comment: Cut a little generous. Am a true 48 to 50 2XL but had to drop down to a an XL as the length chest and sleeves were a little big. XL fit perfect. This is a quality jacket and surpassed expectations. Really Nice!
Comment: This is a nice heavy jacket, it's warm and functional. However, be cautious with the lining around the little pockets for the armor. I've had two start to come loose. In fact, one is still duct taped. Overall, it's a good jacket, can't beat the orice.
Comment: I did a ton of research on leather jackets at all price points. You will not find a better jacket at a better price than this one! I have worn the jacket down to 40 and as high as 80 and been very comfortable. The venting is super, and the way it is done was a major factor in my purchase. I am a 47" chest, so I went with 2xl and it fits perfectly. I only have two very minor complaints. One of the tabs that you snap the liner sleeve to the jacket came off and the zipper for the liner is not the greatest, but it works. Those two things would not make me spend another $100-200 for a jacket!
Hagerstown, MD
Comment: This jacket is worth every penny. I'm 6:2", 275 lbs. and the 2X fits perfect.Heavy leather, nice zippers and armor. I have bought from Jarum before and this jacket doesn't disappoint, it is one of the best I've worn. Nobody believes this is a $*** leather.

Comment: this jacket is very well made, my husband has used it once and said it's great, the good thing about it is you can take out the lining on warmer days. great jacket. highly recommended.
Ann Lemons
Comment: I normally wear a size XL so that was what I ordered, glad I did, just the right size if I want to wear a sweater underneath. If you don't layer clothes underneath then order one size smaller. Nice looking jacket at a great price.
Bullhead City, Arizona
Comment: Unbelievable value!! Great quality. Very fast shipping… you guys are great!
Jim Reinhart
Vicksburg, Michigan
Comment: Nice looking heavy jacket. I wear an XL so that's what I ordered. It's a little bigger than a normal XL but it leaves enough room for my heavy sweater if I need to layer clothes. For a normal fit I would order a size smaller. It is also a very warm jacket compared to my other leather jackets. Also the heaviest jacket I own.
Comment: First let me thank the Jafrum community for answering my questions about this jacket. You guys were spot on!
The price is remarkable for such a leather jacket. Quality is fantastic. I am 6-1 & weigh around 250 & the 3xl fit me perfect. Im able to get a cotton hoodie underneath & still zip it up. I wanted to get a 4xl but they were out of stock. Kinda glad really due to this jacket kept me quite warm in 41 degree weather, in fact i had to pull over & remove the hoodie because i was getting hot! So with just a short sleeve T & this jacket kept me very comfortable for the remainder of my ride.
The brown leather looks old school, really nice. Zippers appear to be ykk brass all around. The zipper sleeves perfect length. Removable liner is really nice. Hide away pockets with vents are amazing. The air vents are mesh so will keep out rain but allow air flow.
Ok, now i have only & only one negative remark. Now trust me i still would buy & recommend this jacket.
Inside the sleeves were the liner snaps & holds itself in place needs better stitching. The snaps that hold the liner in the arms all well made, for some reason they just didn't give it enough stitches to hold it in place.
But thats small fish. I already fixed mine, took me about 15 min each side. Black thread & fish hook needle, BAM! good to go..
Thanks Jafrum for a great price for a great product.. It saved me 100s of dollars during Christmas.. Im very happy!

Comment: I wasn't in the market for a leather jacket but at this price I couldn't pass this one up. I ordered a size larger and was glad I did as it gives more room for layering. The leather was not overly stiff in the one I got and the features are fantastic. Thanks Jafrum for offering quality products like this one.
Comment: Just received this jacket and it is a winner. Very heavy to hold in your hand, but no problem wearing it. Really good quality just looking at it. I'm 6' and 190 lb so the Large fits just right. One small dislike is the two outside pockets are small, not deep enough to hold a glove. I may modify them to make them deeper. Inside pockets are good size. I like the unique style.
Comment: What an incredible buy! 5'10 and 188lb, avg build 44-46 chest and this coat is made to order!!! Beautifully heavy-weight but easy on the torso. You want the "biker" look? This is your coat, guys. Armor is comfortable in or easily removed. Superior thickness and density of buffalo leather. Jafrum is true to form with style, quality and perfect shipping. You can't go wrong shopping with Jafrum! Thanks and Ride Safe all!!!

At under $150, the 8001 is packed with features that make is a great all
season riding jacket.
It is constructed out of 100% premium genuine buffalo leather that is available
in brown with brass hardware or black with black hardware. This particular
buffalo leather is very heavy duty and therefore tends to be a little bit
stiffer then cowhide when it痴 new; so, your new jacket may require a little bit
more riding to break it in. But, once it does, buffalo leather gets buttery soft
and provides the ultimate protection, making it the perfect material for a
motorcycle jacket.
The collar and lapels on the 8001 snap down to keep them from flapping.
Unsnapping the lapels allows the jacket to be zipped all the way up. The front
has these clever dual duty zippered panels. Unzipping the first zipper exposes a
perforated strip for ventilation. Unzipping the second zipper exposes a small
items pocket and an elastic key keeper. The front also has a zippered hand
warmer pocket on either side. On the waistband, there is an adjustable buckle
strap that allows you to adjust the fit of the waist.
The cuffs of the Detour 8001 are
expandable to make it easier to put on and take off. This also simplifies liner
removal, which we will get back to in a minute.
Moving onto the back, there are two zippered vents that open for breathability.
These vents run the length of the 8001 and will allow air to flow through the
jacket keeping you cool.
Moving onto the interior, there is a removable full sleeve thermal liner. This
liner seals in your body heat and will keep you warm during the colder months.
When it gets warmer outside, you can take the quilted lining out, exposing a
mesh lining that promotes airflow and keeps the leather from sticking to your
skin. To remove the liner, simply unzip the liner from the shell. Then unsnap
the cuffs of the liner from the cuffs of the shell. The liner then pulls right
out. There are pockets on either side of the liner for extra storage.
This jacket comes with a universal zippered stretch panel that allows you to
attach your jacket to a pair of riding pants, giving you a complete riding suit.
This feature helps protect your lower back from the elements as well as the
The Detour 8001 comes with CE
certified armor in both the shoulders and the elbows. This armor is removable,
and the 8001 does a great job of hiding it. The back of the jacket has a
removable spine pad for added protection.

Wonderful post Tigs and so true!
I quickly became a Guerlain addict a few years back when I re-tried the amazing Habit Rouge and then Jicky. I have so many now and wouldn't part with a one of them!
After over four years of mad scent shopping and exploration I suddenly have a feeling that I'm quite happy with what I've got and have found again the scents that started my journey - the Classic Guerlains. I have been wearing them again lately and marvelled at their timeless beauty and perfection.
The big turning point in my perfume collecting/madness was when I bought my first Guerlain in 2002. At that point I already had a small collection, it consisted of Bulgari Black, Coco, Égoïste, Live Jazz, Sonia Rykiel, Sublime, Yohji, Yohji Homme (there might have been more but those are the ones I remember) but I decided I wanted to buy "a Classic" and I was pondering between Chanel no 5 and Shalimar, two biggies & bestsellers since the Twenties.
When testing the two simultaneously, Shalimar won hands down. I asked the SA's opinion (which I rarely do) and she preferred Shalimar, too. The funniest thing was she didn't recognize it because it was so soft on my skin while no 5 was instantly recognizable and its usual self. So Shalimar it was. I loved Shalimar so much I read everything about it I could find on the internet and wanted to try other Golden Age Guerlains, too.
The next one I got was L'Heure Bleue which I instantly recognized as the scent my first teacher wore. I was always looking forward the moment she would lean on my desk and I could take a deeep sniff. It did (and still does) make me feel all is well in the universe. L'HB is the most emotionally charged of Jacques Guerlain's scents. I love the story how one summer evening, during "the blue hour" he was overcome by such an intense turmoil he could only express it in perfume.
Uncle Aimé's Jicky was the next step. I still didn't have a credit card then so I had to order it at Stockmann (the local department store) who got it from France. Every single time I wear Jicky I marvel how timeless and "modern" a fragrance launched in 1889 can be! Jicky is a true never-fail fragrance, it has it all!
Mitsouko, probably the most legendary Fruity Chypre ever, was the difficult one. It took six test-drives before Mitsouko accepted me. On the first five testings it was simply nasty, very cat-peeish. I gave up many a time but because it was a creation of "St Jacques" (that's how I call Jacques Guerlain, no mere mortal could have created that amount of otherwordly beautiful and unique scents) I couldn't give up. My patience was finally awarded and nowadays we get along smoothly. Mitsouko has character, you have to be in the mood for it.
Vol de Nuit was instant love for me and it has loved me back. One of the loveliest Woody Orientals there is. Last summer I packed it with me for a work trip and it was a perfect choice: elegant and confident with just the right amount of mystery.
Way too long I dismissed Après l'Ondée as a dress rehearsal for L'Heure Bleue. I got my tester bottle from a sale just for the sake of getting it and when I wore it for the first time, I found how lovely it is. Much more Floral and "romantic" than my usual favourites but a delight to wear, very "fragile and feminine", ethereal Sylphide scent.
No matter how much I love my Annick Goutals, Carons, CdGs, Etros, Gobin Daudés, L'Artisans, Serge Lutenses and all others, these six are what I always return to.

Wonderful post Tigs and so true!

Thanks, CoL!
"There is a light that never goes out..."
"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
Beautiful thoughts. We appreciate that you were moved to remind us about St. Jacques. I, too, am in awe of the timelessness of Jicky.
In a world where 6 million people are added each month, every landscape matters.
Great, post! This thread looks very promising indeed! :-)
I found the Guerlains as my first fragrances, and I am afraid I just never moved on from there. I love other classics too, but the Guerlains have a complexity I don't find anywhere else.
Yes, Tiggy, beautiful, elequent post! You hit the nail on the head. Of course you know that I've been a Guerlainaholic for quite some time, too. No. 5, No. 22, Parure, Shalimar, Jicky, Mitsouko, Vol de Nuit, and L'Heure Bleue are in my collection. I've pretty much come to a dead end in my collection and am enjoying what I have (and giving the ones I simply don't like at all to my husband, who uses them as car deodorizers). MItsouko is just not me and when I get around to it, I'll put it a post in the swap meet.
It's so interesting you say that, because I keep thinking that it's so futile with the infinite number of perfumes out there, to even begin to know what to get, etc. But I really think that I would be perfectly content if I limited my perfume buying to Guerlain. Lord knows that won't actually happen, but it certainly is a thoughtNo matter how much I love my Annick Goutals, Carons, CdGs, Etros, Gobin Daudés, L'Artisans, Serge Lutenses and all others, these six are what I always return to.
I too love Guerlain and have a bunch of them. I started with Shalimar because my Mom wore it and therefore I knew I liked it. I replaced several bottles that I used up over time. My next Guerlain was Nahema which I could not find in the USA and had to buy overseas (pre-Internet). Again I have had several bottles. More recently I have discovered and loved Vol de Nuit and Mistsouko.
I am still having a problem with L'Heure Bleue which my mind tells me I really should love. I own a bottle and am waiting to to open my eyes one morning and say to myself: "duh, what was my problem?".
What is amazing is how different all of these scents are while at the same time thay seem to have that common Guerlain feel. Guerlain is fabulous.
The classic Guerlains are really more like scent poems than anything else. You can't just spritz them on like some Escada-of-the-year and run off to the beach party. You have to listen to them carefully and when you do, you and those around you become, well, captivated! My whole family have become classic Guerlain addicts. I do wear other scents, particularly when I'm in a rush or want something simple I don't have to think about much, but the old Guerlains are in a class by themselves, and whenever I'm alone and contemplating life the universe, I'm wearing one of them. Thanks for your wonderful essay, you really said it well!
Thanks for your comments, everyone!
Though I love Caron scents as much as Guerlains, to me the difference is that Carons are somehow more prestigious, more demanding, more "special occasion".
To me the big part of the beauty of Guerlains is their accessibility and wearability: they are for everyone and work with casual clothing, you can even wear them with jeans if you want to and feel like it.
Classic Chanel scents are unquestionably great but the problem for me is that I find them distant: they demand immaculate, almost military spotless whiter than white elegance, you've got to be "perfect" to wear them and I'm not that perfect, far from it. I find Guerlains (and even Carons) much more friendly and "forgiving".
"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
Guerlain is almost a white, undiscovered spot on my fragrance map. And for some reason I keep pushing their fragrances in front of me instead of ordering some decants and try them out. The only ones I'm familiar with are Habit Rouge (I have no idea what concentration), Vetiver and L'Instant pour Femme. I think that is it.
I get intimidated when I check out the list of fragrances this house is responsible for. The heavy names and the amount of them! Enough to get me scared...

I agree the Guerlains have more of a bohemian, almost "arty" quality to them.Originally Posted by tigrushka
Thanks for the lovely post! You sum up so many things that are special about this house, and about the scents! Guerlain is, and I think will always be, the house that fascinates me the most. Jicky is special for me, since it was the first perfume that, just by its name and the story around it, had me interested in the history and power of a perfume. I ordered the EdT blind just to own it, and my first thought (when I had got over that it didn´t come in the same shape as the perfume bottle...stupid unexperienced me), was "when dare I wear this". I have become braver with it. I wear it now and then, and I enjoy wearing it more and more. Shalimar is the lovliest of the ones I know. Especialy since I got to know the perfume strenght. Actually, it´s either perfume, or Shalimar light for me, if I am going to wear it. I suspect my miniature will last me long; I find it so rich, only little drop is needed every time. I so agree with what you say about L´Heure Bleu; this perfume is a bottled expression of sentiments, lights, colors, moods. Seriously, there are not many perfumes that have that effect on me. Chamade, though from late 60´s, beneith that sparkling young first impression, posesses the true quality and that unmistakable base structure of a classic old-style Guerlain. My boss, a stylish, slightly excentric, very sweet and hearty lady, has Mitsouko as her signature, so this perfume is very conected with her, and her selection of working-dresses.
And I just know that I will buy Vol de Nuit and Après L´Ondée blind one of these days
Wonderful post! I love all these! Mitsouko (parfum) is my favorite, although I probably wear Jicky more (I find it very calming).
HEY Tigs!
Just wanted to say it sounds like you've just gotten your MASTERS in Perfume and graduated Magna cum lauda!
Always love your intelligent posts Tigs!
Sadly, for me, the only classic Guerlain I can wear is Shalimar- but she never fails to get me at least one compliment every time I wear her. Whenever I wear Shalimar I can't help asking myself, even for just one second, "Why would I ever need another perfume?" Of course I know the answer to that question! However, Shalimar is so beautiful, it's no wonder I always ask the question anyway.
The House of Caron for me is over-the-top formal. Their fragrances tend to make me feel like a slob- like someone caught picking their nose in the reflection of a gilded mirror (ewwww!) So far I have yet to find one that I feel at home and comfortable in.
Chanel, on the other hand I find way casual. No 5 parfum? Bois des Iles parfum? Both perfect with a white shirt, jeans, low sandals and wind-blown hair. Funny how we perceive scents!
Scent is such a lovely, simple pleasure!
I totally agree on this!Originally Posted by tigrushka
I have yet many Guerlains to try, but my favourite Mitsouko will be hard to beat!
One I don`t get very well along with is Apres l`Ondee; I find it cloying and sticky, and too much, althou the notes indicate that I should like it...
Thanks for your post, Tigs! Very enjoyable reading.

When I initially tried to love Guerlain I tried the newer fragrances, Samsara (in the early 90s), Champs Elysees and L'Instant. I really liked Samsara and bought a couple of full bottles of it over the years. I tried L'Heure Bleue and found it terrifying. I disliked Champs Elysees and L'Instant, so my interest in Guerlains dwindled. Then I tried Nahema...and Vol de Nuit...and L'Heure Bleue...and Chamade...and Chant d'Aromes and I was blown away. I find Vol de Nuit to be especially exquisite and impelling. Now, L'Heure Bleue is disarming in its ability to stir severe emotions, and it's utterly beautiful.
I've loved Shalimar my entire life and I don't know when I didn't have a bottle of it. I have Mitsouko parfum, which is in my special cabinet of collectibles. In addition, I love Aqua Allegoria Pampelune, Aqua Allegoria Lavande Velours and Lilia Bella.
Someday I hope to try Après L'Ondée.
Thanks for your comments again, nice to see there are so many friends of Guerlain!
I highly recommend Jicky to you, Shifts! If you love it, you can progress from there, Shalimar would be the logical next step since its prototype was Jicky spiked with a huge amount of vanillin.Originally Posted by shifts
Thanks, Key! The feeling is mutual.Originally Posted by Artisankey
Too funny!!!Originally Posted by Artisankey
I see Carons more like vintage accessories that are outrageously grand on their own but look fabulous when combined with modern/casual clothes.
You said it!Originally Posted by Artisankey
The only Chanel I could imagine with jeans is Cristalle (which I don't like at all) and even then the shirt and jeans would have to be squeaky clean and freshly ironed... and accessorized with real pearls but yeah, that's just me.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I've seen a fragrance store here carrying some Guerlains and I'll go there later on today to seek out what they have there. I also forgot to write in agreement with the others that the first post of yours is EXCELLENT and very inspiring. Thanks!Originally Posted by tigrushka

Oh buddy, you can't go wrong with Jicky!
My advice it to test both edt and edp, but imo the latter is the best!

But Jicky parfum extrait is on the top of my wishlist!
"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
I do agree with all your comments above Tig, especially about the Chanel's
being somewhat unapproachable. I love Jicky and Shalimar so much, have an on/off relationship with Mitsouko, don't really enjoy Samsara and have just ordered Jardins de Bagatelle off e-bay having sniffed it in France last week.
Have you tried this one yet? Awesome IMO.
I have tried JdB but it's a white floral and I rarely like white florals. Same goes for Jean-Paul Guerlain's scents in general: the only ones I like are Habit Rouge (which reminds me of Shalimar Light...) and occasionally Samsara. The rest just don't appeal to me.Originally Posted by kewart
When it comes to Guerlain, Jacques has got my number...
"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
I am wild for Vol de Nuit, Shalimar, Jicky and L'Heure Bleue! I have mixed rapport with Mitsouko and Chamade. AND I don't think I could be without Vetiver...I layer rose scents with it during the summer.
Beautiful post and an inspiration for me to "get back to basics" and STOP BUYING!

I'll say! To me, and ON me, the Chanels are like maniquins...exaggeratedly perfect and cold! Cristalle is the only one I can wear. I find the Carons to be sultry and livelier...Nocturne, Parfum Sacre, Nuit de Noel and Narcisse Noir are very accessible. Farnesiana, too.

I'm wearing Après l'Ondée today and I think the "difficult" note in it is either cassia flower or the combo of cassia flower and violet because I wore FM Une Fleure de Cassie on Saturday and it has that same smell. There are days when I find it off-putting but sometimes I rather like it. It's very distinctive!Originally Posted by musse

Enjoyable post, tigrushka!
My first Guerlain was in 1971 and I was already a fairly sophisticated perfume lover.
The first one was Chamade and it was a gift from a someone who knew how much I loved perfumes.
It was like a whole new world opened up to me. I still remember the sensation of smelling its shimmering greenness.
After that, I sought out the others and shortly discovered int his order:
Mitsouko (probably my favourite perfume of all time)
L'Heure Bleue (this one took longer to like. Finally, the parfum grabbed onto me)
Vol de Nuit ( I remember buying Jicky and Vol de Nuit in a lovely little perfume shop in the centre of Vienna)
Chant d'Aromes
and then all the others.
Of the modern ones, I like Samsara in parfum and Mahora.
I have recently tried Vega and love that one too.
But it is the collection of classics from my yout that I still go back to again and again, the triumvirate of Chamade, Mitsouko and Shalimar. (Okay, I'll add Jicky to this) I am never without the parfum in these and I go back to them both when I am happiest and when I am sad and need comforting.
Many thanks for your lovely post, Hilda Rosa!
You might want to join us wearing Vega on Saturday 5 August, more info in this thread: http://community.basenotes.net/showt...=183718&page=4

"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
Wearing Habit Rouge today, I have to praise the lovely drydown. It really is nice when it has settled down.....a little like cotton embedded Shalimar with a twist.
I'm rather new to the older Guerlain classics....Where I live the only ones available is L'instant,Shalimar,Shalimar light and Samsara.I bought Shalimar some years ago and really like itLast christmas I got the opportunity to try Mitsouko as well,since I got it in a mini collection for christmas.I'm quite curious about classics like L'heure bleue and Vol de nuit. I'm glad I came across this website,cause maybe now I can actually get the oportunity to try some other Guerlains too
Oh:O silly me!I've also tried Champs elycee...
Tigrushka, thanks for starting this informative and interesting thread.
I had just been thinking to myself that I could marry the house of Caron, it seems that each fragrance I have sampled delights and engages me for different reason. (with the exception perhaps of French Can Can - too sweet, too simple) And then there was that disappointing encounter I had with Mitsouko...I still cannot approach her, though she sits on my dresser in her pretty bottle with the fancy cap.
Your post is making me wonder if I should try L'heure blue or Shalimar , hmmm...
"Like a lobster with a pearl in its claw, the beet held the jasmine firmly without crushing or obscuring it. Beet lifted jasmine, the way a bullnecked partner lifts a ballerina, and the pair came on stage on citron's fluty cue. As if jasmine were a collection of beautiful paintings, beet hung it in the galleries of the nose, insured it against fire or theft, threw a party to celebrate it. Citron mailed the invitations." Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins p. 189
What I am loving right now: Shalimar vintage extrait, Chanel Bois des Iles, Chanel no. 22, Le Labo Iris 39, Guerlain Iris Ganache
I am another Guerlain Devotee and like Tigs it is those created under the eye of St Jacques that own my heart.
However, my complete surrender to all things Guerlain was precipitated by one of their modern beauties, the sadly discontinued , Aqua Allegoria Winter Delice.
I had known and loved Samsara before and had sniffed Shalimar and found it too much but Winter Delice spoke to my heart. I usually only wear it in cold winter weather (especially around christmas time) and everytime I do it is as haunting, beautiful, complex and seductive as it was the first time I wore it. It is SO me. I am comfortable in my own skin and at peace with the world when I wear it. Another HG.
I was so amazed at this simple complex elegant gourmand wood scent which was at once very modern and timeless, I knew I had to have more, discover more, scents created by those who had created this scent.
That was a few years ago now and I haven't looked back! LOL! I now own quite a few Classic Guerlains (and some modern ones) in different / multiple strengths and I shall not allow myself to be without the following:
Vol de Nuit - I NEED the parfum in this! Love the PdT more every time I wear it but find it annoyingly fleeting.
Champs-Elysees - chose me
Eau de Coq - wonderful delicate orange blossom eaux
L'Heure Bleue (preferrably parfum)
Vetiver - wonderful earthy leathery tobacco based scent
Chant D'Aromes - Inspired by Carven Ma Griffe a perfect warm weather chypre
I also own other Classics but find they are not so 'necessary' to me:
Nahema - Amazingly vibrant, sophisticated roses
Habit Rouge
Heritage (Hubby nicked this from me)
Eau de Cologne Imperiale - fresh but fleeting
Apres L'Ondee - very beautiful but plays like a less complex, fair weather alternative to Caron's Nuit de Noel on my skin. I love it but truly love NdN more.
Parure - plummy dove coloured velvet chypre
You may have noticed that Mitsouko is not on either list though I own it. This is because I am still trying to come to terms with the wanton destruction that Guerlain has wreaked on this treasure - in the name of progress.
I truly wished they had given me the choice to make my own decision by labelling perfume packaging rather then substituting blatantly inadequate alternatives under the same name. I don't know when the official change over was / is to occur but I have noticed that the last two bottles I purchased (1 EDT, 1 parfum) bore marked differences from my other previous bottles. I am hoping that the plasticity I detected is just because the oakmoss is 'fresh' and that the signature haunting mistiness that characterises Mitsouko will develop over a little time. But I am not hopeful.
So I am resolved to stock up on vintage bottles at greater cost or to stop wearing this wonder which was one of the greatest gems in Guerlain's crown. I know there have been others scarred by this legislation: Vol de Nuit, Chant D'Aromes, but Mitsouko I believe it the one whose very nature will be transformed the most dramatically and negatively, by it.
Others that would be worse off for the change, have sadly been (or are due to be) discontinued. One example of this is Parure.
What price progress?

Thanks so much for this thread, dear Tigs..."Back to Basics" is always a good idea for me! I've been on a mad discovery journey here lately...
Being a "frag hag" (thank you, Quarry) for some sixty years (gasp!) reading the names in these posts has been like (or better than) a high school reunion.:bounce:
Had forgotten about lovely Chamade - and Jardin de Bagatelles - Habit Rouge et al. LIVE in L'Heure Bleu (except on work days because it gives the Boss Lady a headache) with the occasional walk down Champs Elysees.
In my NYC days was a Caron fan - still sneak back there evry once in a while.
Thanks to ALL of you for helping me understand why!!

My two favorite classic Guerlains--which are also two of my favorite perfumes in the whole world--are Mitsouko and Vol de Nuit. The reformulations upset me tremendously.Originally Posted by moondeva
Wonderful post! I have so much I could say about it, my biggest problem is to write english ...
As you see, I AM a Guerlain-Lover, and will always be. I started with Shalimar when I was only 19, Mitsouko and L'Heure Bleue some later. I feel special when I'm wearing this beauties. I haven't been wearing Mitsouko for at least 15 years. Wten I tested my new bottle this summer, it was to tuff for me! What "tigrushka" says about it is really true. I think I have to give it a try again and again - maybe Mitsouko will accept me again.
I have several of Guerlain now, but still there is a lot on my wish-list.
My latest is Vol De Nuit and Parure. Almost like they where made for me, they went right to my heart. I have ordered small bottles of Nahema and Jicky, can't almost wait to try them. The next will be Liu and Après l'Ondée I think.
Thank you again for a wonderful post tigrushka
Tigrushka, your post was pure poetry. Guerlain IS the fragrance house to buy from. I will try pretty much anything, but I keep going back to the classic Guerlains. I think it is because they are so different. Alot of the older fragrance house really mixed it up with their scents ie: Chanel and YSL - but alot of the new scents being released are the classics but 'eau legere' or 'Light' or 'Summer'. I say leave them alone
I must say Samsara was my first Guerlain. I got it with a gift sample when I was a teenager and I new I was smelling something sacred. At that stage, in (the late 80's, early '90s) 'Red Door' and 'Vanderbilt' were my fragrances. But Samsara really spoke to me. Soon after, Shalimar was in my collection and I have only recently discovered Mitsouko. I must say the Parfum is the only way to go with the mysterious Mitsouko. She is a bit too dry for me in the EDT. Nahema is stunning, absolutely cream over roses. Really hard to get in Aus but still in negotiations with my credit card.
(If anybody can point me in the right direction to buy some Parfum decants of Guerlain, I would be forever in your debt).
Guerlain is class personified but as others have also noted - not snobby.
I can see a Mitsouko lady horse riding with her children then at a $1000 a plate dinner party. A Samsara miss giving lectures at Uni all day then night clubbing in the mosh pit with her friends.
There is no pre conceptions of what or who you are with Guerlain - just feminine and downright lucky to wear one of the blessed scents.
Almost brings a tear to the eye :-)
I'm a Guerlain girl too -- though I've been branching out of late, this is the house I always seem to come back to. There'ye not trendy, so they don't get tired. Nahema was my first love (and still a favorite), Champs Elysees is one of the few florals I've ever really enjoyed wearing, and wearing Samsara is the olifactory equivalent of a favorite sweater -- all about warmth and comfort. I love Rose Barbare -- smells like sin, in the best possible way, but it calls for a more soigné lifestyle than mine.
Shalimar is one of those fragrances I've known forever -- I'm glad to have a parfum mini for occassional wear, but, like Chanel No. 5, it comes with too much baggage to ever feel like mine. L'Instant is the only Guerlain so far that I really dislike (smells like Duncan Hines batter on me).
I'm still getting to know Apres L'Ondee (nice and gentle, but does anyone else get Desitin Ointment in the top note?) and Misouko (where's the spice!? Is the bottle old, or is my nose broken?). Will have to catch up with Jicky, Vol de Nuit and Chamade some time soon!

Elegy for Eddie: A Maisie Dobbs Novel
Elegy for Eddie: A Maisie Dobbs Novel (Hardcover)
Indie Next ListApril 2012
Winspear's latest may be her best, as the indomitable Maisie Dobbs takes on a case dear to her heart. When simple and kind Eddie is killed, his friends refuse to believe his death was accidental and hire Maisie to get to the bottom of the matter. Maisie knew them all, including Eddie, as a child, and she feels compelled to help. As she delves deeper into the mystery of who would want to kill a gentle horse whisperer, she finds herself brushing up against some of the highest political powers and following leads that get more and more personal. -- Flannery Fitch, Bookshop Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA
Maisie Dobbspsychologist, investigator, and "one of the great fictional heroines, equal parts haunted and haunting" (Parade)returns in a chilling adventure, the latest chapter in Jacqueline Winspear's bestselling series.
Early April 1933. To the costermongers of Covent Gardensellers of fruit and vegetables on the streets of LondonEddie Pettit was a gentle soul with a near-magical gift for working with horses. When Eddie is killed in a violent accident, the grieving costers are deeply skeptical about the cause of his death. Who would want to kill Eddieand why?
Maisie Dobbs' father, Frankie, had been a costermonger, so she had known the men since childhood. She remembers Eddie fondly and is determined to offer her help. But it soon becomes clear that powerful political and financial forces are equally determined to prevent her from learning the truth behind Eddie's death. Plunging into the investigation, Maisie begins her search for answers on the working-class streets of Lambeth where Eddie had lived and where she had grown up. The inquiry quickly leads her to a callous press baron; a has-been politician named Winston Churchill, lingering in the hinterlands of power; and, most surprisingly, to Douglas Partridge, the husband of her dearest friend, Priscilla. As Maisie uncovers lies and manipulation on a national scale, she must decide whether to risk it all to see justice done.
The story of a London affected by the march to another war years before the first shot is fired and of an innocent victim caught in the crossfire, Elegy for Eddie is Jacqueline Winspear's most poignant and powerful novel yet.
About the Author
Jacqueline Winspear is the author of the New York Times bestsellers A Lesson in Secrets, The Mapping of Love and Death, Among the Mad, and An Incomplete Revenge, as well as four other nationally bestselling Maisie Dobbs novels.

CHESAPEAKE - Economic forecasters call it the new paradigm in Hampton Roads employment and population growth.
For many years, growth has typically favored cities on the Peninsula, like Newport News and Hampton, and those east of the Elizabeth River on Southside, including Norfolk and Virginia Beach.
For the first time since the Hampton Roads Business Roundtable started forecasting economic growth, cities west of the Elizabeth River - Portsmouth, Suffolk and Chesapeake - are projected to take 50% of the growth in the next 20 years. During the last forecast four years ago, cities on the Peninsula doubled the growth expected on cities west of the Elizabeth.
Experts say land availablity, port activity and changes in infrastructure and transportation are the biggest factors influencing the change.
Director of the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization Dwight Farmer said the numbers came as a surprise.
'We didn't realize it would be this quick,' Farmer said.
Farmer says based on the numbers now, we can expect to see population and job growth in west-southside cities equivalent to the size of Virginia Beach in the next 20 years.
