Well Im pretty disappointed by this one. I hunted and searched for it based on the fabulous reviews and finally purchased a brand new 1oz bottle for $35. I had nothing but reviews to go on so I think I built this up to be an amazing, original "perfect for summer" scent. To me it was very basic with no stand out notes and very fleeting. Decent but after 1 month I never once grabbed for it. I LOVE Ralph Hot but this one did nothing for me. Must be my chemistry????
I'm just getting back into this fragrance after tiring of it 6 years ago. Now that it's back on my good side, I have to praise it for being such an attractive and breezy tropical scent. It's just too perfect for Spring and Summer and it makes me think of the fun that comes with those seasons. Passion fruit is the star, but I also get orange blossom and the ambery drydown. Passion fruit is so refreshing and Ralph Rocks is one of the best fragrances to do passion fruit. This is a warm-weather love!
I know this is discontined, but how lucky i am, i found this yesterday, and i grab it the second i saw her. Loveeeee this orange juice, gonna wear it on my summer vacation at Pattaya Beach
This was my "go to" fragrance for almost a year but mainly in the spring/summer nights. I adored this scent then and I still like it now. It was my favorite among the Ralph Lauren collection.
This was my go-to fragrance for a while, until my bottle ran out and the stores ran out and I discovered it was discontinued... Although it was aimed at a youth market, it wasn't as sickly sweet as that might imply, at least to me anyway. For me it was spiced fruit and subtle tropical flowers with a grown up base. On reading the comments on here I am surprised at the negatives and the vanilla/coconut/creamsicle notes picked up by some. If that was the general consensus no wonder it was discontinued. I wish I could find something like it now.
I opened the cap of an old refillable perfume spray bottle just now and I could still smell the perfume which used to be in it. How I miss this perfume! It is fruity and warm, and there's this sour almost metallic smell (LOL) which I love. This is one of my absolute favourite of all time. Too bad they don't have it now. Why? Ralph Lauren, why? Anyone know of a similar one?
To my nose its only synthetic orange notes and then something milky, creamy but not in a good way. A total waste of money.
So yummy, I want to eat this fragrance! The notes are very balanced and well blended, I can detect the orange blossom, the passionfruit and the lemon. It sits close to the skin, so I use it for situations that don't call for perfume, like going to the beach, or a day at the pool.
This is a truly fantastic fragrance! All notes so well blended that makes me feel up freshened every time I use it! Fruity-fresh scent! I could swear I smell tangerine in it!!!
This is probably my all time favorite perfume ever! It has a warm orangey smell that I can't get enough of!!
This is right on your face mango, how come nobody said that?
Definitely a daring perfume, sweet but deep. To me it is the most delicious perfumes of all time. Has moderate to long lasting power on my skin, as I start to believe fruity perfumes will never have the longest lasting power. This one does have moderate lasting power and sillage. If i could define the closest to how this feels, it would be... a ripe mango put in a microwave for 15 seconds, then added a few drops of sandalwood essence. That's it! My recipe for total fragrance delight!
This should not have been discontinued, such a shame...
I may have confused this perfume with another Ralph Lauren one. I used to wear this back in high school or college, and I remember heavy notes of coconut. This one is lovely, though not very coconutty. It's spicier and floral. It fades rather quickly, but the initial sillage is heavy, I know because whenever I get to work people notice it from afar.
I remember when they had this in Macy's along with the other scents like Ralph Cool,Hot, and Wild plus the original. This one wasn't my favorite, but I do remember smelling orange creamsicles like one person had suggested. If I can get my hands on a bottle, I will for sure get it.
All I really have to say about this is that it definately is citrus, just not in the way you'd expect. Think orange creamsicles! Very yummy.
I bought this perfume for my mom few years ago because I was so much a fan of the original Ralph blue bottle. It was a blind buy and I thought it won't be too bad because the original smells so good and it was so popular. I have to say I was totally surprised by this perfume and I actually like it more than the original one. My mom love it so much! =D
This smells like coconut candy, a bit plasticky and waxy-chalky crayon-like scent, with a hint of synthetic citrus.
One of the best everyday perfumes I've ever come across. However it doesn't last really long. I got this for Christmas a few years ago and lasted for about 3 months. (Yes, I used it everyday truly was amazed by this result) I strongly suggest it. I don't see how its citrus though. :/
Maybe it's just me! Anyway!
It's worth trying.
From someone who hates oranges and anything with coconuts, I am extremely blown away. Ralph Hot is my favorite because it smells warm and mocha-ish. I also loved the first Ralph. Bought Ralph Rocks out of curiosity, without any expectations. As I was opening the radioactive orange colored box and seeing the tacky juvenile bottle, I almost wanted to return it. I didn't. Ralph Rocks had me on first spray. It smells beautifully tropical with a creamy comforting dry down. I have long been looking for a fruity fragrance I could wear for my boyfriend. I found it. :)
I love Ralph Lauren.
The best of all the Ralphs IMHO. Again, synthetic, subtlety and sophistication "don't live here anymore", but it's upbeat and partymood-inducing, so for a relaxed beach holiday I would grab a bottle of that without even thinking.
Considering I like complex gourmand orientals, I was so ready to hate this perfume.....but I kinda really do like it. Okay, yes, I admit It, I LOVE IT. It is sweet and fruity but not overpowering, like sitting on a hammock in the shade of a warm beach with crystal blue water. I smell passionfruit and kiwi the most, with lemon making a surprise visit. It makes me feel like the cool person I know I'm not. I started wearing it in middle school and I do think of it as the only pretty thing about me during those days of middle hair parts and black eyeliner covering half of my greasy face. I have to admit I do not wear it much anymore, but I think thats because I'm in a different stage of my life and no fragrance can define you completely in every phase. It's like you evolve and that perfume can't always evolve with you. Doesn't mean its not a fab perfume and one that may just be perfect for your life right now:) Keep spritzing!
This scent overall is superbly orangey! But its more of a heavy musky type of citrus than a light lemony scent like tommy girl. One of my favorites of ralphs fragrances but the only downfall is that its not appropriate for any time of year besides especially hot summer months.
Got this yesterday and i absolutely love it!! Cant tell so much about it yet because i have the worst cold! I do pick up a lot of wood right from the beginning, soft and not so sweet, very pleasant smell! Will be intressting se how i experiet once my cold is gone! Hope i still love it, otherwise i can have it as my "coldfrag",lol! Will be back with longer review soon!
En Argentina esta discontinuado !!!! que vuelva por favor me encanta y es muy actual ese aroma !
i absolutely love this one
To me this is a very weird smell. Its like a fresh smell yet musky and a little spicy. I really like it thought I wouldnt be able to pick a single note name.
This is a funny little fragrance. Structurally it reminds me of Katy Perry's "Purr", a little tropical, a little green, with a creamy-woody drydown. The top notes in this one are citrusy whereas the top notes in Purr were a bit softer, maybe from the red apple. The coconut smell (though not listed) is thicker as well.
The green here is also tropical like in Purr, I don't get the grassy smell that others seem to. The lasting power is much better for this fragrance, it can last me all day! The beginning reminds me of a creamsicle. The palm leaf comes out in the middle. It dries down sweet, creamy and woody. Perfect scent for a summer day :)
I was quite scared to try the perfume because I remembered I'd read Ralph Rocks smells like dill sauce. After trying classical Ralph and Ralph Hot I decided it was the high time for Ralph Rocks, Cool and Wild. The second and the third fragrance is still being searched by me, but I'm glad I got Ralph Rocks.
I get why people say it's weird... it is an unusual fragrance indeed, notes seem to be mixed accidentally with a weird result - but I like the result and I haven't expected that!
There must be coconut somewhere around here - I can't see it listed but definitely can sniff it! Coconut, quite thick milk. Something green (palm leaf), something orange (orange blossom), something violet even - still no dill ;) but I guess where the feeling may come from, the coconut, palm leaf and hyacinth :)
It's a crazy, positive, tropical, a bit strange fragrance but I like it. Sweet one, but not too sweet. There's also a hint of plastic in here... like a doll, something like that - kind of disturbing. But aren't there doll look-a-likes on the beach? ;)
Lasting power- too
Bottle-I like it.
I thought I would like this one reading its notes but actually all I can smell in it is a synthetic orange smell. Disapointing...
I absolutely love this perfume,its very tropical and sweet with a kick,so if there is anyone else out there who loves stronger tropical perfumes.I recommend this full heartedly.The shower gel is very good too it wakes me up and puts me in a great mood.Try it please.
my ex girlfriend had this perfume. it is very sexy and a little sweet. I recognize it instantly wherever I go...
When he named this "Rocks" I don't think Ralph means rock chick I think he means as in rocks on the beach and the blue one was supposed to be like the ocean and the hot one was hot coconut, tropical. These are all aspects of the beach and the tropical island smells not as in a rock chick!!
I got this perfume before I smelled it. I didn't really like this at all. The scent was too strong but it did last a long time though. It just wasn't for me.
Can anyone tell me where I can purchase this perfume at? I received a sample of it a while back and fell in love with it! Since most department stores don't carry it anymore, I was going to purchase it on-line, but am tired of dealing with the "counterfeits" of the world! Does anyone have ANY info on LEGIT PERFUME WEBSITES?? (And yes, I've tried Ebay and Amazon, but I just don't trust them as much...)
Please help!
The strangest scent I've ever smelled! Quite horrible, too, to be honest! - but I write it for fun, if you love it, just wear it! Probably it might be lovable, and the intention was this certainly :)
Probably I simply have a problem with palm leaf and passion fruit. Love the bottle, though, it has a lot of positive energy and fits the juice.
Very exotic and synthetic, the easier versions being Boss Orange Sunset Heat and Escada's Taj Sunset.
Irremplazable. El maracuya, ambar, la hoja de coco y un cierto toque a malteada me hacen sentir feliz, llena de energia y todos elogian el perfume cuando lo uso :)
Desde el momento en que lo oli quede encantada y tenia que tenerlo, solo me ha pasado con Rocks y con Marc Jacobs de Marc Jacobs, ambos descontinuados :(
ahora debo buscar otro perfume del cual enamorarme ...quizas Crystal Noir de Versace pero no me entusiasma tanto...
Unfortunately this smells milk, coconut, orange blend to my nose.It`s not fresh and it`s not fruity either.Somehow it`s just very odd and boring.I don`t know what I was thinking when I bought 100 ml of this...
Powdery, sickeningly sweet, sythetic oranges. It reminds me of vitamin C pills.
not make a rebudle with anybody, but although it does smell good..... it's smell to me is like it's been done before, estee lauders beyond paradise for men!!!
This fragrance lasts all day on my skin, I love the smell .. I definitely smell of coconut (not have) bananas, I noticed something citrus.
It remains to say that I love the smell of coconuts!
The smell I get from the fragrance is a kind of tropical summery coconut and suntan lotion smell, and not much else. Different from the original "Ralph" fragrance.
Opening with a vodka passionfruit RTD vibe, this alcoholic accord burns off very quicky to leave a very tart (and authentic!) passionfruit. I like this passionfruit note very much indeed! If this was a solifruit I would have been sold on the spot.
It doesn't take long for Rocks to sweeten though and that beloved passionfruit takes on a more creamy banana/orange blossom tropical breakfast juice feel.
About 15 minutes into the journey though a distinct chilliness enters. I normally associate this sensation with lotus however I suspect the palm leaf could have that brisk affect. Much later this chilliness becomes a tad soapy and ruins the flirty fruit juice effect but this travesty is salvaged somewhat by a pleasant trace of sandalwood on the skin.
An extremely interesting perfume, I am not sure how it ties in with a 'rock chick', nonetheless it is spirited and a lot of fun to wear every now and again (too much exposure would become tedious).
Note - you will get about 4 hours out of it before needing to reapply.
Starts as a coconutty fruity concotion and then turns into the scent of mouldy rotten Mandarins after half an hour :( Wont purchase...ever.
P.S. And too weak, not much lasting power.
Very disappointing and it's being returned. Nothing fruity or coconuty about this fragrance, which is the reason that I purchased it ( online, untested, going by the reviews ). I was expecting somthing that smells like kiwi fruit, coconut and vanilla. Instead, it's a nice, fresh floral scent, but nothing extraordinary.
this one opening like citrus y orange..very nice..but it getting sweeter n sweeter i just could not stand it..all i smell is sweet orange, very sweet..like no balance with other notes..weird body chemistry huh..:(
but the only good thing about this perfume for me, it stay on pretty long time on my skin.
I expected Ralph Rocks to smell more like a tropical-orange scent, but what I pick up is creamy woods. It smells delicious and sexy. Perfect for the summer! Nice staying power.
when i 1st spray this..remind me of britney fantasy..quite citrusy orange smell..then it became sweeter & creamier...it really last long on me...at the end of the day i can still smell the sweet orange..not citrusy orange, its more like creamier orange..:)
Ralph Rocks smells both beachy and tropical at the same time, and at first I liked it. But, the more and more I used it, the more unimpressive it became. I resorted to using it to spray in the air and no longer cared to wear it on my skin. Ralph Lauren is quite weak in his fragrance creating, I can't name one scent I really like by him.
Used to love it, but then something went wrong, it is really sticky and sweet and gets annoying after few hours.
Maybe I have changed...no doubts that I will continiue to use what's left in the bottle, but definetely not daily and not indoors.
Overpowering sweet creamy coconut smell...
It would be nice if the top citrus notes would last longer, but they don't, so I can't stand this fragrance for more than 10 minutes.
I was expecting a fresh and fruity scent but what I got was a thick and vanilla/coconut covered smell, I'll probably sell this one and buy something else for summer :
just got it. it starts as a very fruity and exotic fresh frag and after just few minutes it becomes flowery, woody warm maby milk-ish and mixed with sweet candy. pleasant but i'd rather like it moore with the top notes dominating. the bottle is kindah cheap looking, it looks like a very easy to break bottle. carefull with that ;P
This is my #1 go to perfume. I have loved it since it arrived. Start to finish, it is just my favorite scent. I never get sick of it. It's so tropical and fresh to start, eventually becoming a really warm smell. It's perfect. Not overly feminine. A+
I can't separate the notes forum overall perfume, but I smell something aquatic indeed. For me this scent is something new, some kind of mistique but I don't know if it helps to rock :) maybe not because this scent for me is more of the romantic kind. But in total it is good scent, I can recommend it for others. One more thing, it is not only girlish scent, indeed no, it suits and for young woman.
For a fragrance supposedly devoid of vanilla, RALPH ROCKS is pretty darned sweet. I had relatively low expectations, given the name and truly garish colors, and I have to say that my expectations were met.
Contrary to the implications inherent in its name, RALPH ROCKS is about as tame as they come! The orange here even seems like Tang: could be used in outerspace without any danger of degradation. I would describe the overall scent as similar to what would be the result of mixing RALPH COOL and RALPH HOT together in a beaker: something of a mess. Sort of a fruity floral; sort of an oriental. If you like the former category, you'd probably prefer RALPH or RALPH COOL. If you are more into orientals, then you'd probably prefer RALPH HOT.
RALPH ROCKS seems to me like a last ditch effort to squeeze the most out of all of the previous RALPH and RALPH flanker campaigns--not to mention the bottle (but I did).
Not for me, but I do believe that I learned something from this walk down RALPH lane, which will come to a slightly premature close as I have no sample of RALPH WILD. (phew!)
I don't get ANY citrus!
And there is something in it that makes it smell a bit rubbery on my skin ... hyacinth, I think.
Despite this, I really like it :)
I can't detect single notes, it's well blended, and gives a tropical, summery, hot, a bit damp feeling of huge FUN!
It is different from most of the floral fruities now - a unique floral fruity with a delicate gourmand touch. And - what is important to me - it's tropical & beachy without coconut! good!
Nice stuff! :)
It's the 5th fragrance I know from Anne Buzantian, and the 5th I like / respect. It seems I like her nose :)
I've discovered the real reason why I like this fragrance: it's in the top notes. I love the aggressive, punchy character of the citrus. But it doesn't take long for that to fade, and then it turns into something that could only be described as weird (compared to the beginning). The dry down takes it in a completely different direction - cool, creamy and aquatic - and aimed at the mass market, to be precise. Much more suited as a teen fragrance, despite the more "serious" start.
Ralph Rocks is a fruity little creamsicle smoothie. At first, DELICIOUS. You pick off the orange garnish and eat it before sipping down that thick frothy orange dream with a girly pink straw. At first, you feel cute and sugar-high with your flip-flopped feet and tropical smoothie. But . . . your smoothie is too big. You can't finish it. Halfway through, your head is buzzing uncomfortably from excess sugar and cream. After another hour, you give up and stomp off never wanting to see another creamsicle smoothie again in your life. Under the hot sun, it melts and oozes all over the sand, where the ants come and finish it off for you.
Reminds me Escada perfumes.Was so in love with this scent at first,gave it away to my daughter.She loves it.
Smells great but its scent is not unique, suited for casual wear and general fun situations.
This is just like a pina colada that has been mixed with water and left in the sun... not a good scent, smells weird and not like something you would want to smell like... to me its not like a beach perfume its just like a tropical drink that has gone bad.... and no lasting power. I have it and i am fighting to use it up!! maybe i will just throw it away...
definitely tropical,also to me very watery.I can smell something like sea notes that I don't see here in the composition,but that's the way I can describe it.the smelling reminds me of Tommy Bahama Very cool,but I like Tommy Bahama more than this one.it's too watery.
I can't call it yummy like some other tropical fragrances.for example sunset heat escada is much better than this one.
it's not bad,but there isn't any personality in the way it smells.the middle notes smell much better than the first notes to me.again it's strange because I smell something like Banana leaf which makes it delicious.it's light and good for everyday use during summer.the sillage is a bit weak,so it won't annoy anybody around you.
Hard to describe! There's no problem picking up the orange notes. It's very tropical, all you need are palm trees! Great for a warm sunny day at the beach or out on the town in Hawaii. It's not my favorite, but I enjoy it now and then.
this stuff would make the bride of chucky SEXY great stuff
I got it as a gift, but I don´t like it :( I like the fruity start but the green and woody finish irittates me :(
My grams got this for me for Christmas!!!
It smells so good and I love the colors on the bottle...this is the best one imo!
Despite how much I, and most people here are loving this scent, it seems to be not selling very well. The other Ralph scents are more popular, and everywhere cheap Ralph Rocks bottles are turning up (not imitations by the way). Here in Australia I found a bottle of 100mL for $29.95 (even less in American dollars). I really hope they don't stop producing this perfume - because it's fantastic!
Ralph Rocks is a scent which stands out! In weekends I have a part time job in a perfumery and therefore I know a lot of fragrances. And this one.. it is magic. I can not name a fragrance that is this hip, daredevil-like, young and dynamic.
Definitely a scent for in summer because of its citrus/fruity accords. But.. Because of a subtle warm glow that is induced by the amber and sun-warm wood, you can also wear it in winter during day!
My compliments to the chef!
I tried this one on a few days ago. All I can say is thank heaven! Finally a perfume that does not contain vanilla I hate vanilla. Um,anyways I really like the citrusy fresh opening it's gourgeous. But it dosen't seem to last long.
This one reminds me of Harajuku Lovers' G a lot. And I also much prefer it to the original Ralph. It's really nice, definitely a good summer fragrance. :)
i got this perfume in a swap, for which im really grateful coz otherwise i think i would have never tried it!
its really different from what i thought it would be..not a hard candy-bubble gum-candyfloss overdose for little children, but rather a tropical, exotic, upbeat, super optimistic creamy deliciousness..and however i do think that its in the same range with the other beachy perfumes, like Miami Glow (which i also like), it is rather unique, i havent smelled an other perfume which smells too similar.
its quite innocent and charming in its carfree, cheerful,giggly way.
though i dont think that its strictly for teengagers, it certainly is very young so i can only advise it for the under 25 crowd. perferct for hanging out on a warm summer day. the only negative is that it fades very quickly:((
I get so many compliments from men when I wear this! Can you say yummy! Good enough to eat!
Since becoming interested in perfume, I have trained my nose to appreciate scents that I wouldn't normally have liked. Had I been a young girl without my fragrance knowledge I may have enjoyed this fragrance.
Ralph Rocks is most certainly aimed at a younger crowd. Typical of your fruity and sugary teen fragrances, this perfume certainly fits into that category. In my opinion, Ralph Lauren has played it too safe with this fragrance, emulating many celebrity scents in hope of cracking the teen market. I don't think this fragrance fits the description of a rock-chick. There is nothing rebellious or hardcore about it. It's more a cheap, tropical scent.
The initial spray is very citrusy, like a strong blast of lemon and orange. This fragrance is also rather linear, the notes don't seem to differ between the top and base notes. Lasting power is also very poor, which is a shame for this fragrance's price.
Ralph Rocks strikes me as a fragrance that you will only find the younger crowd wearing as it doesn't spell out sophistication or sexiness at all. I can only imagine this perfume being worn during the warmer months or to the beach, because this scent is not overly versatile. A better alternative if you like this scent would be Sunkissed Glow by Jennifer Lopez. It smells a lot more expensive but is only half the price.
I don't like this it smells like a blast of orange in the beginning and then turns dry and boring but it does have lasting power! Not for me I want a perfume that stands out and smells good like Ralph Hot!
sometimes the coconut scent turns to be ripe mango =)
me recuerda a las lociones bronceadoras para la playa...
This is the only one of the Ralph fragrance i would consider buying. The orange smell is quite fresh and nice.
It is not very long lasting though.
My grams bought this for me one year and she even loved it....its one of my favorite Ralph fragrances
The orange scent is really strong! Too strong for my taste... However, the coconut can be smelled without any doubt a few hours after this overpowering orange cloud... After the first try, I gave it to my mom - luckily she adores oranges! The original Ralph is far better than this one :)
The absolute pits! An otherwise very fun and engaging woman in my office wears this and I can smell her the *second* she gets off the elevator! The overpowering, nauseating synthetic orange note has all the subtlety of Phyllis Diller. It flies into my face and down my throat - jagged and obnoxious, insistent and irritating. I wish I had the heart to tell my colleague that she is literally making me ill with this garbage!
lovely creamy coconut-fruity floral base... really nice with a great longevity, sexy and funny !
i tried this scent while i was abroad 4 summer holiday. i absolutly loved it!!! what made me give it away is the fct that after 4 hrs it changes scent from floral fruity to oriental ...it started smelling like kenzo amour , which gave me a headeache! pity..
Very orangey and fresh smelling. I like the scent, just not as a perfume.
I really like this one, it has a very strong orange/tangerine smell but then changes in to a softer warmer scent. It's very different compared to the other fragrances I own which is why I like it. It stays for quite a bit too and I just love the bright orange and blue colors on the bottle.
Yes indeed Taliera, this one has really got staying power! And I like the way it transforms into a warm, sensual scent after a while.
One of my all time favourites. I like this intense orange, innocent and wild at the same time.
Great staying power - I'm still smelling it after 12 hours! The only word of warning I would give to young, unsuspecting perfume-enthusiasts is that the initial scent soon changes into a completely different scent - after several hours there is no hint of that orangey/tangerine smell and it resembles more of the original Ralph, but cooler.
It's quite different to the other Ralph scents in the collection. I love the tangerine top note - too bad it fades - I would buy it if just lasted longer.
Es un perfume muy veraniegoy fresco.Su aroma es tropical ya que huele a leche de coco (entre otras frutas) y hojas de palma.Es muy dulce! :P

Hepatitis C virus (HCV), a spherical, enveloped, positive-strand RNA virus.
Transmission of HCV is bloodborne and most often involves exposure to contaminated needles or syringes or receipt of blood or blood products that have not been screened for HCV. Although infrequent, HCV can be transmitted through other procedures that involve blood exposure, such as tattooing, during sexual contact, or perinatally from mother to child.
Globally, an estimated 170 million people are living with HCV infection (chronically infected), and almost 500,000 were estimated to have died from HCV-related liver disease in 2010. Although the quality of epidemiologic data varies widely across countries and regions, the most recent global estimates indicate that the prevalence of HCV infection is <2% in many developed countries, including the United States (Map 3-05). The prevalence is higher (≥2%) in several countries in Latin America, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, and certain countries in Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia; the prevalence is reported to be highest (approximately 10%) in Egypt. The most frequent mode of transmission in the United States and most developed countries is through sharing drug-injection equipment. In countries where HCV is more common (≥2% prevalence), the predominant mode of transmission is from unsafe injections and other health care exposures where infection control practices are poor. Travelers' risk for contracting HCV infection is generally low, but they should exercise caution, as the following activities can result in blood exposure:

1Disease data source: Mohd Hanafiah K, Groeger J, Flaxman AD, Wiersma ST. Global Epidemiology of Hepatitis C Virus Infection; New Estimates of Age-Specific Antibody to HCV and Seroprevalence. Hepatology. 2013; 57:1333–1342.
Most people (80%) with acute HCV infection have no symptoms. If symptoms occur, they may include loss of appetite, abdominal pain, fatigue, nausea, dark urine, and jaundice. Of those who develop chronic HCV infection, the most common symptom is fatigue. Severe liver disease develops in approximately 10%–20% of chronically infected people, but progression to end-stage liver disease is slow and typically does not occur until ≥20 years after infection. This progression is often clinically silent until late in the course of disease, and in the absence of HCV testing, most people are unaware of their infection. Nonetheless, HCV is a major cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer and is the leading reason for liver transplantation in the United States.
Two major types of tests are available: IgG assays for HCV antibodies and nucleic acid amplification testing to detect HCV RNA in blood (viremia). Assays for IgM, to detect early or acute infection, are not available. Approximately 75%–85% of people who seroconvert to anti-HCV, indicative of acute infection, will progress to chronic infection and persistently detectable viremia. Because a positive HCV antibody test cannot discriminate between someone who was previously infected but resolved or cleared the infection and someone with current infection, it is essential that HCV RNA testing follow a positive HCV antibody test to assess current (chronic) HCV infection. False-negative antibody test results, while rare, may occur early in acute infection, usually in the first 15 weeks after exposure and infection.
Treatment for hepatitis C has evolved dramatically since the approval of 2 protease inhibitors (boceprevir and telaprevir) in 2011 in the United States. Since then, a number of new direct-acting antiviral agents have been approved or will be approved in the next few years that will obviate the need for injectable interferon. The new treatments offer all-oral regimens, short duration of therapy (from 6–12 weeks to 24–48 weeks), few side effects, and high cure rates (>90%). Travelers who think they may have been exposed should see their health care provider upon return and get tested for HCV, and if found to have evidence of infection, be referred for care. No therapies for HCV postexposure prophylaxis are available; however, this may change as new treatments are approved. The most up-to-date treatment information can be found at www.hcvguidelines.org.
No vaccine is available to prevent HCV infection, nor does immune globulin provide protection. Before traveling, people should check with their health care providers to understand the potential risk of infection and any precautions they should take. When seeking medical or dental care, travelers should be alert to the use of medical, surgical, or dental equipment that has not been adequately sterilized or disinfected; reuse of contaminated equipment; and unsafe injection practices (such as reuse of disposable needles and syringes). HCV and other bloodborne pathogens can be transmitted if instruments are not sterile or the clinician does not follow other proper infection-control procedures (washing hands, using latex gloves, and cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and instruments). In some parts of the world, such as parts of sub-Saharan Africa, blood donors may not be screened for HCV. Travelers should be advised to consider the health risks if they are thinking about getting a tattoo or body piercing or having a medical procedure in areas where adequate sterilization or disinfection procedures might not be practiced. Travelers should be advised to seek testing for HCV upon return if they received blood transfusions or sustained other blood exposures for which they could not assess the risks.

Cedarville University's Department of Art, Design and Theatre presents "The Taming of the Shrew," which will open on October 3. Artwork credit: Joshua Wurzelbacher/Cedarville University

September 16, 2013
Cedarville University's Department of Art, Design and Theatre will present its fall production of "The Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare. The performance will open on Oct. 3 at 8p.m. in the DeVries Theater.
Bachelor Petruchio's search for a wife finds an unwilling participant in Kate and hilarity ensues as he sets out to 'tame' his headstrong wife. The play has been set in the 1950s and abridged to fit a shorter time, but has not been adapted, staying true to Shakespeare's classic. The romantic comedy has themes of mistaken identity, role reversal, difficult choices, and, especially, being surprised by love. It will be a fun, high-energy show that includes a live, 6-person acapella group singing '50s' classics, such as Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra, creating a light-hearted atmosphere for the event.
Evening shows begin at 8 p.m. on Oct. 3-5 and 11-12 with matinee shows on Oct. 4 - 5 and 12 at 2 p.m, Oct. 10 at 10 a.m. and Oct. 13 at 3 p.m. The event is open to the public and tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students. For more information, call 937-766-4491 or visit the ticket webpage.

Your Questions, My Answers
How to Make My Existing Websites Mobile Friendly? If the site is not built with WordPress and doesn't look good on a mobile device, now may be the time to port it over to a Responsive WordPress Theme that automatically adapts the site presentation for each display size. StudioPress and Woo Themes have a growing number of responsive themes to choose from. For an existing WordPress site not built using a responsive theme, there are some plugins such as WP Touch, that will present your site content into format that shows the posts. I prefer seeing the whole site rather than just the posts, and many of the existing themes look and work fine on iPhones and iPads.
I got laid off last year so I am working in someone else's production company and helping them grow their business rather than grow my own. I want to start my own business but I don't have start-up money since the Mac I want is $4,000. Sorry you were laid off and I am glad you found employment in your field. However, I encourage you to go ahead and start working on your own business in your free time. Get everything prepared: your branding, your website, your social media accounts and then get any computer that can do the job. Put on your powers of positive thinking and attraction. You will be able to find a computer that you can use for less than $4,000. You have to start with gratitude for where you are and start the ball rolling by doing the things I suggested. Put your desires out there and get a piece of paid business and then keep it rolling. The small things will cheer you up and motivate you until you feel you can make it on your own. You will be amazed!
Thanks for the post on Head shots. I have a friend whose 12 year old daughter recently appeared on The Rachel Ray Show for a cooking demo. I thought the article on head shots might be useful for her mom, since this *kid* is clearly going places! This would be a great time for your friend to help her daughter put up a website to post her own episodes of her cooking classes. What an opportunity. I can imagine this would be a big hit.
I have been using the WordPress Database Backup plugin but recently it just stopped working. I do manually backup the entire site with my cPanel every few days and ftp it to my local drive but that is a hassle. I would rather have an automated process. I was thinking about purchasing BackupBuddy and the question I have is where to send and keep the backups? As you know the WP database backup only backs up your content not your WordPress Theme files. So that is why you are backing those up by hand. But that is cumbersome and, thankfully, unnecessary. I use Backup Buddy to back up the sites, and I have it set to send the backups to my Amazon S3 account. An Amazon S3 account is free for the first year! And after that it is still very inexpensive. Backup Buddy also makes it really easy to move to another web host. Many times I build a site on my test server and then use Backup Buddy to move it to the client's server. I also recommend in addition to use the backup services your hosting company provides. I use the Bluehost Pro Backup service which keeps backups of the individual files. That way if something screws up, and I know where it is, I can simply overwrite that one file and Voila, back in business.
My clients are picking me to death wanting me to add and change things after they have already chosen the design they wanted from the three comps I gave them. I try to go by the contract, but some clients just don't understand boundaries! I like to compare this process of setting boundaries with web design to that of the renovation of a house. If someone came to me with a limited budget for a kitchen renovation, I would say, "well lets put together a proposal that fits your budget, and it will have certain moderate finishes, not granite and not finely jointed custom cabinetry." Then, when into the job, they say, "Wouldn't a Viking Stove look great in here?" I would readily agree but would also remind them that unfortunately they did not buy the kitchen remodeling package with a Viking Stove. And then that would be the end of it, unless they could come up with some extra money for a change order for the higher priced appliance package.
When we are doing web design because we can create a "Viking Stove" we forget to tell the client that they didn't buy it. We want them to be happy, but it ends up being at our expense and then we are not happy and they are on a path to ask for more and more. Having my three packages helps me and the client to remember that they bought the Working Dog rather than the Best in Breed.
You all asked a lot more great questions, so stay tuned, and I promise to write more on the topics you brought up!

All lovely peaches, raspberries, fresh and fruity with soft white florals of freesia and hint of jasmine. Settles into a soft, fruity sweetness mellowed with sandalwood and a hint vanilla. You will smell absolutely delicious and delectable in this fragrance without the cloying sweetness of so many current fragrances. I only wish the longevity and sillage were more powerful. This fragrance brightens your mood and is very uplifting and youthful in its power.
I rocked this beautiful fragrance in 1994 through 1996 period. I became obsessed with this fragrance! At the time I thought it suited my personality so much that it became a signature scent. I only wore this fragrance and nothing else, except maybe Coco Eau de Parfum in the winter time for dinner dates and only to impress/make a statement. Usually I wore Coco when I was out with the adult men my age or adult girlfriends in Orange County for social get-togethers.I was in my 20's at the time. I met some of the most unforgettable, bright, gifted children I have ever known. They are on my Facebook now as adults!
This was my day time spring and summer scent that I wore every day to work as a public school teacher. I taught elementary school children in the inner cities of Los Angeles Unified School District and it's suburbs at the time - Lennox, Inglewood, Compton, Bellflower, Gardena. These were tough neighborhoods. Although I lived in Orange County I chose to work with children of lower income families, or single parent families because they needed the education and the enrichment far more than children born to parents with more money to provide them with college education. These kids were children of immigrants and spoke both Spanish and English - thanks to my skills as an English teacher. They would always compliment me on my perfume especially the girls. They loved how it smelled and they would catch whiffs of it as I leaned close to them to help them with assignments. One time a little Mexican girl saw me putting on the perfume from the inside of my parked car in the parking lot and she said she loved how it smells and that it smelled of "raspberry candy and pink roses".
She was not too far off. This fragrance opens with a distinct raspberry scent, it's a fruity-berry aroma that does not get too cloyingly sweet or sugary but it can still pass for one of those sweet celebrity fruity florals - i.e. Paris Hilton - however because of the number of notes and the strong base notes, this tends to get into a deeper and more mature body almost like one of the Elizabeth Taylor fragrances, uh, off the top of my head - Diamonds and Rubies, Diamonds and Emeralds, Forever Elizabeth or Violet Eyes. The raspberry comes and goes and it mingles with peach and apricot. This apricot scent was very reminiscent of one of Sophia Grojsman's creations like Tresor or Ex-clamation! In fact I would go as far as to say that this is a more grown up and more voluptuous version of Ex-clamation. I was surprised that this fragrance lacked citrus notes but it's still enjoyable as a fruity frag. It also has red currant which smells like grape juice. Yum.
The floral notes are soft, delicate and powdery with mostly white floral notes of freesia, jasmine, boronia and unlisted note of lily and the sweet pea. There is also an unlisted note of peony. I think there are more flowers in here than Fragrantica is listing. The rose is the dominant floral scent and it's a sweet and fruited rose, and the powdery florals actually dissipate once the rose emerges. This is a beautiful rose perfume. The flowers are mature and heady, perfumy, but flirty and sweet. A young girl in 2016 can wear this without a problem just like a young girl did in 1996. This is still a very youthful fragrance.
The dry down is an Oriental profusion of deep notes of cypress, resins, spices, woods, musk and vanillin. Not to fear. The green patchouli is not bug repellant or too masculine. Neither is the resinous note nor the cypress. It's woodsy but not in the men's cologne wood. It's clean, soft and almost nutty like almond. It's a delicate scent that does not throw out too big a projection of itself, despite all the notes. The vanilla is the master note at the end keeping everything together with sweet gooey yumminess. This is a good vanilla scent. All in all, a lovely floral vanilla Oriental with sweet raspberry and rose.
I still wear this fragrance from time to time. On my skin chemistry it still works. I have grown older but it's still a perfume that can smell good on any woman of any age because as I'd previously stated, this is a mature fruity floral. It's casual and light, so you can wear this daily to work or to any place. I have very fond memories of this fragrance. When I wore it everyone stopped to smell me like I was a flower. Children, teachers, the principal, the parents. This was my number 1 fragrance as a teacher. I feel fortunate to have lived at a time when perfume was still perfume. If you want to experience this fragrance seek out the original miniature bottles or the smallest size parfum sprays and don't bother with any reformulation.
My immature nose of yesteryears did not appreciate this magical scent until now. Imagine fruit nectars oozing from exquisite woods commingling with rich moss kissed sporadically by powder creams. That's how it is on my skin. Light handed with this fragrance is best. This a review for the edt Concentree (EDP?).
This is such a beautiful fragrance o my God why is no one continuing the reviews. Go out and buy this blindly you won't be disappointed. The opening is typical of 90's fruit flavored fragrances such as Tresor and Champagne. Very fruity with tons of peaches and sweet sticky juicy apricot and a red currant grape scent. The fruit is delicious and enjoyable as a spring or summer scent, absolutely delicious. The flowers are very nice. I could detect the rose and the jasmine. I was not familiar with boronia but I am now thanks through this fragrance. The dry down is sandalwood and aromatic patchouli some cypress wears more like a chypre. Gorgeous.
A sweet feminine fragrance that is totally wearable for today. An apricot scent wafts in the air as it begins, and a juicy ripe peach. Fruity but not in a cheap or generic way. There is also a red currant (red wine!), a boronia flower and osmanthus. Right from the start this fragrance tells you just what it is, a sweet fruity floral scent. Nothing complicated. Light, soft, airy, girly. The heart has white flowers of freesia and jasmine, roses and a sweet pea note. As it dries down it's woodsy with a touch of vanilla. I can smell the patchouli and cypress. It feels festive like something to wear to a party. It has a day time casual feel and it lasts over 5 hours. It's priced at over 100 bucks on sites like Amazon.com but it's worth it. The reformulation smells like the original. My mother has the original and still wears it I have the new version and the scents really do resemble each other. This fragrance is delightful. It's like an easier to wear Creed fragrance like Spring Flower which was made for Audrey Hepburn. In act this fragrance evokes a young Audrey Hepburn. It has a 1950's vibe. Young women in beautiful skirts going to the ice cream parlor and soda fountain where there's a juke box and where they meet with their boyfriends. Sweet, innocent, lovely. Every woman is a flower and her perfume is her fragrance.
This (the EDT and then later the parfum) was the first fragrance I fell in love with in my late teens. Peach and raspberry and what I recalled as being a bit powdery. I then moved on to other fragrances and forgot about it.
In a fit of nostalgia, I recently bought a 5ml of the parfum off eBay just to see if it was as I remembered, and it feels a lot more chypre than I thought it would - I appreciate the basenotes a lot more now after the big bright opening. I'm so tempted to buy a full size so am keeping my eye out for a sealed box.
Less sophisticated version of Creed's Spring Flower.
Under 21
LOVED (back then) the opening. But don't over-apply;
remember heat magnifies scents. And God knows, we
only ever wear this one in the summer, right gals! Peace.
Deci Dela was ahead of its time. A dearest friend of mine bought it to me in an old shop in Sassari a week ago. As Gucci Rush was not born yet and the Escada "summer wines" could not walk on their glory road, it was already a successful amalgamation of two - fruity raspberry and sweet peach in the top notes, tasty and fruity, but not sticky, greener, fresher floral notes in the heart note (Who was that? lovely sweetpea, perhaps? Probably!) and a tender, velvety base.
Even the flacon was so crazy and innovative that won any design prize (it comes to my mind from the mighty Nineties).
But how is that this roughy little gem - with many other revolutionary fragrances - were discontinued missing when the mass of buyers, once stood in amazement at these smells, changed its mind, and this frag sadly left the planet.
Oh, how beautiful was Deci Dela!
Candy and powdery and YUM! Not that sickening yum kinda like most of perfumes today..on my nose this perfume has the similar powdery notes and quality as Eden does..but totally different..Eden is more greeny, spicy and sharp..Deci Dela is a lovely, sweet and innocence fragrance that can be use from 15-75+ yr young women ;) Love it when I was 14 and still love it till now..tho I was too scared to use it since we don't have it here anymore :(
Yesterday I received a small decant of this from a generous member of this community. I, literally, just spritzed my inner elbow about ten minutes ago with this. I NEVER get on here to write a review so soon after applying a fragrance but I just had to share my little discovery. I apologize if someone else before me already made this connection ( I read most of the reviews first..but not all.) Within the first five minutes Deci Dela smelled very familiar...and not just in the, it's-a-beautiful-chypre sort of way but it smelled very similar to another in my collection...one that get's a lot of attention of both love and hate. Eden by Cacharel. I ran over to Eden to check out the notes to comapare and guess what?? Same perfume nose,Jean Guichard, made both perfumes and both in 1994! They are not identical but definitely feel like relatives. As I type, Deci Dela continues to develop and is heading in a spicier and more powdery direction and away from Eden's sweet alien fruits and greens. There are a couple others in my personal collection that Deci Dela remind me of as well: St Dupont pour Femme, which is "higher pitched" and soapier and also Chypre d'Orient by Molinard. Anyway, I am fairly new to Chypres but I am learning and discovering about their beauty and what sets them apart from other genres of perfume. One of the things that I've discovered about them is that they manage to feel both classic and modern at the same time. It took me years to learn that some of these earthy and soapy notes that I love so much in perfumes,when combined, were called Chypres....a couple years ago, I had to look up the word just to figure out how to pronounce it correctly....lol! As far as the Eden comparison goes, in the time it took to write this review, I still get the familiarity but they have continued to venture further apart. They remind me of Mother and Daughter. One more mature,sophisticated and classic...sexy in an understated way and the other more daring and juvenile and slightly odd....still trying to figure out who they are and having fun doing it! Now I wonder which one Jean Guichard created first....
Afterthought: I just noticed the similarity in bottle types between both Eden and Deci Dela. Obviously different colors but both bubbly and rounded and curvy with cute with gold caps.
Fruity, floral, woody, chypre, Déci Délá has many sides and all are gourgeous. I received a sample of DD when I was 14 or 15, I found it sublime, classic, funny, sexy and original at once, but at that time I didn't have a generous budget for perfumes so I used my sample and that was all, years later I found a bargain of the EDT on ebay and had to have it. I enjoy it very much and imagine Amélie Poulain wearing it on the streets of Montmartre.
My aunt gave this to me(as she no longer wears it
anymore) and I love the cute bottle but..
all I could smell is plain powder... why???
I am really confused by reading all the reviews here
that say it is a fruity scent.
Maybe my nose has gone a bit funny...
Sometimes at the back of your mind you remember a fragrance, after about fifteen years it came to me, I remember selling this fifteen years ago. What a gorgeous sweet powdery gem, if my memory serves that is. Must track one down, for nostalgia sake.
Bought a bottle from a newly opened perfume shop last month. Came in just to have a look.. As I was 'scanning' the perfumes there.. I saw two boxes of the 50ml EDT staring straight at me.. Can't believe my eyes..The rest was history :)
The owner said he got them from Singapore..
Planning to drop by soon.. Hope it's still avaialble :)
Too bad this is so hard to come by, it holds some lovely memories of childhood for me when I would ask my mum for a perfume based only on the pretty bottles which is how I came to own Deci Dela, I can't have been any older than 10.
I could be on my own with this but I recently bought Darling by Kylie Minogue purely because it reminded me of Deci Dela. Might be worth a look.
I just bought a miniature of the eau concentrate and oh my gaaawwd!!! I'm in love!!
First hit is sweet pea...but like fresh sweet pea, not cloying 'fake' sweetpea. Light, sweet, fruity, garden-fresh sweet pea, rather than heavy and pungent. A little cyclamen in there as well. There is a very high note of juicy fruit, sharp and sweet, right at the top here, but this doesn't last long on me.
Then something creamy, woody and nutty,and a deep rich bitterness. Oakmoss and patchouli at this point. A honeyed scent too...maybe lilac? I think I can smell a hint of violet in here as well.
This creaminess develops throughout the fragrance into something sweet and comforting, and sleepy. It wears on into something sensual and rich.
It's lovely and I'm in love with it!
What I like is that it's a sweet fragrance, but not sweet in the way today's sweet scents are. It's not sweet fruity, and it doesn't smell like Bon bons. Something keeps it grown up and sexy, as well as feminine and pretty. It's not sickly, or a sharp, bitter modern 'sparkling' .
It lasts so wear on me too - I have a real issue as fragrances disappear on me so easily, but this lasts for hours!
I remember this in the nineties but never owned it - I always hoped to get it as a gift and never did. Now that I have discovered it, I wish I'd bought up the entire uk supply back then! I'd wear it every day.
If you could get a scent 'tatooed' on, like a picture, I would get this fragrance as I love itso much. I'm so sad it's discontinued.
I rembered pretty well the way Deci Dela used to smell. Recently I bought the Eau de Toilette Concentree and what a disappointment that was. I can hardly diffrentiate it from YSL's 'Champagne'. On me they smell almost identical.
I'd NO idea this was still on the market!
Off to Macy's I go!!
Have a smell of old make up - and I know a loot of ppl like the make-up smell so this one is for you.
It is both green and floral on my skin - also resinouses after a while.
Dont detect any fruits - might be in the backgrund wellbelended into this original fragrance.
I just love the bottledesign !!
Have two favourite perfumes,both impossible to buy now,Deci Dela is one,the other is Byzance by Rochas. Can´t find anything to compare. :(
Smells sickly sweet on my skin. Gave me and those around me, a headache everytime I wore it, so gave it away to a friend and surprise... it smells great on her! I guess I'm better off with citrus and cedar notes in the perfumes I wear. This one just wasn't for me.
This was the first perfume I bought on my own accord (as opposed to peer pressure). I was 16. Loved it. However I was teased alot for smelling like "an old lady" when I wore it. So I always felt a bit ashamed, stopped wearing it and soon threw the bottle (almost full) in the garbage. Oh how I regret that today! Wish I still had it :)
This is one of my favourite perfumes, although I did not appreciate it when I was in my 20s... and it is the only one that's got patchouli that I can put up with.
Shame it was discontinued.
I don't get the fruity floral. On me this is spicy, woody, resinous, almost an incense feel (I think it's mostly the sandalwood). In some fragrances (L'heure Bleue, Mitsouko, etc) that's lovely on me, but this just isn't for me.
it feels the breeze :) like a wind around the fruit garden.
A very pretty and particularly feminine scent in a sweet and girlish way. It is sweet but doesn't go too far into the realms of saccharine. Clean and clear edibilty like a tangy jolly rancher or a pear drop.
I have been looking for it for a loooooooong time I LOVE THIS PERFUME! My mom had it and i also fell in love with it and got both the edt and the edp! They do smell different as someone said in the comments!
I'd love to get one again soon =) brings back memories of innocence and carefree days! Absolutely adore it!

I see a lot of people review this wonderful fragrance differently and i would like you to know that "deci dela" actually smelled quite different in every concentration. And it is not my imagination, but it is officially so. I remember back in the days when it was still sold in shops SA told me also that. And believe me, i have it in EDT and pure perfume and they DO smell different. EDT is more chypre, more watery and less fruity, quite light. While the pure perfume is loaded with berries and powder. It is amazingly fruity but powdery at the same time, but the powder doesn´t turn me off at all here (please scroll down for my previous review on Deci-Dela). "deci-dela" translates as "here-there" (or something like that) and it is indeed a two sided fragrance, since when you smell it from a closer distance it smells one way and from a distanced distance you smell other notes.
I think it would be fair enough for Fragrantica to list this fragrance separatly as EDT and PARFUM. There was also EDP which is EXTREMLY rare nowdays, which was THE best of them all.
Love this one and read the other reviews... it doesn't smell like that on me. On me the drydown is hazelnut coffee. Very nutty and long lasting. one of my faves
This is a fragrance, I was very curious about because of the most beautiful bottle I have ever seen. As a lover of the house Nina Ricci I tried to love it, but we can not be friends. It is too much chypre and sandalwood in it, it is more old-school and definitely classic fragrance. It is lush, rich, juicy and sweet. If you love Gucci Rush, this is similar, but much softer, not so bold and rich than Rush. The longevity is about 1-2 hours, I find this fragrance nice for a day but also perfect for going out in the night.
Deci Dela is a really stunning fragrance. I find it easy to love and wear. If only all peach scents smelt like this.
Although peach and apricot really shine through as the dominant accords in Deci Dela, this fragrance is far from fruity. Rich is a better word in terms of describing the way it smells, at least for me.
Once you get past the rather alcoholic and slightly medicinal opening, Deci Dela is a really luscious, elegant, sensual and powdery blend of peach, apricot, rose and resins. A subtle hint of earthy patchouli is responsible for this fragrance's chypre classification. It's not what I'd call a full-on, mossy chypre, but the classic feel is there.
You can tell that this is old-school Nina Ricci, because it's lacking in sugary sweetness. Sometimes I wish that the brand still produced gems like this one. I feel saddened by the fact that Deci Dela didn't stick around.
If you're searching for something sexy but not too loud, Deci Dela might surprise you in more ways than one. I can easily see this one appealing to men, even though it is a tad unusual. Men will be intrigued to say the least.
More important to me, is how I feel about Deci Dela, and my reactions so far are good ones. Can't say that it lasts particularly well, but I see no harm in re-applying every now and then. Occasionally I see an odd bottle online for a good price, so if you like it, don't hesitate with Deci Dela. Cave in and make it yours.
Deci Dela is like a soft wind of the Spring. Wearing it right now, I picture of a spring morning when the sky is filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of various flowers scent the air gently.
It starts fruity and mild and as it begins its fragrant journey, it becomes powdery with a clear whiff of patchouli which is between green and dry. I like powdery feel in fragrances and specially, when it is to be worn in spring and summer, it smells clean on the skin.
On the whole Deci dela is a soft and delicate fragrance and worth a try for those who don't like in your face kind of scents.
I don't agree that Deci Dela is similar to Gucci Rush. Gucci Rush is way too heavy, peachy, creamy, sweet and cloying in comparison to Deci Dela. Deci Dela ("here and there") is an airy (now I see why the name), soft and distinctively floral edge to it. And in my personal taste, if I had to choose between the two, I would blindly go for it.
This is an amazing fragrance for spring time. It makes me feel comfortable and so feminine. It's only bonbon sweet enough, never cheesy, and the creamy feel it gives is just perfect. Beware though, if you overdo, it can be very cloying.
Finally, Deci Dela is one of the fragrances which gets me men's compliments.
Deci Dela & Gucci Rush do smell very similar! DD is richer and fruitier, while Rush is ten times stronger. I WISH Deci Dela was as strong! This is fantastic, beautiful stuff. Both are great though!
The raspberry really comes to the front on my skin, and is a ripe, deep red, and the perfect mix of sweet & tart.
The resins, peach, and patchouli surround the raspberry, and then seem to simmer all together in a heavenly compote. The sweet pea is just enough to lighten the load, so to keep men from TOTALLY losing their minds....
Very Sexy. Posh, Curvaceous, Confident, and Womanly. A Truly Fantastic, Lush, Head-Turning smell!
This is a favorite.
UD 2013: Rec'd another bottle online, and it seems much more peppery than I remember. Oh well. Still a like, but not the scent I remember anymore.
If you love Gucci Rush, you must try this one. It is almost identical to GR red version.
What an adorable scent! I bought it unsniffed as soon as I discovered a bottle on the net, it was one of the most pleasant surprises. I feel very fatal and ladylike whenever I'm wearing it, it's very feminine but not provocative (rather romantic and sensitive).
Its dry down reminds me of high quality cosmetic products, which is not a bad thing at all.
I don't find it sweet as some others say, I was expecting a perfume similar to Hard Candy or Pink Sugar (oh, they are too sweet for me) but it's not at all like them. It's as sweet as a natural strawberry would be. Suitable for all ages, also for teens, IMHO.
The bottle is to die for....so beautiful and exquisite. To be honest I expected Deci Dela to be more intense and bold like the majority of the 90's fragrances. But it turned out to be a light and very elegant shypre, best suitable for summer time. I am getting roses and red currant the most.
A lovely addition to my summer wardrobe!
This perfume represents a happy-go-lucky woman.It's a joyful and unique mixture of fruit and flowers,pitty that's been discontinued.
My wedding day scent - it will always hold a special place in my heart!!
One of my all time favourites. The combination of raspberries and peaches underlayed by mosses is so attractive, and it was very original in its day (and still is).
The bottle reflects the make up designs of the early Nina Ricci range, which was a design classic.
I thought I was going to like Deci Dela but this is one of my 80' nightmares that I didnt had found the name.
This perfume tormented me for years: its harsh, smells lika a wig with bugspray and there is nothing good going on here, I can smell the raspberry but its a really fake one, oh im sorry, I cant even describe it, when I putted it on my skin I had to rubb it off imediatly :'( I wanted to like it bahhh...
I have recieved today a 15ml pure parfum bottle and can now compare it to my edt version.
What can i say: EDT version is very sharp, weak and watery, feels like the original fragrance has been dissolved in water and then poured into bottle. That is how it smells like on my skin.
The pure parfum concentration is really strong, it has been all day now and i only sprayed once on my arm but still can feel the smell of this fragrance everywhere around.
I like pure parfum much more but it won´t become my favorite fragrance and i will keep it in memory because of the beautiful bottle and it also reminds me of the most beautiful make-up range ever created by any brand yet (remeber those packagings of Nina Ricci old version of lipstics, mascaras, eyshadows and creams? Like a fairy tale!).
Back to fragrance: What i get from pure parfum concentration is fruits and berries but with more powder than in other concentrations. It is not as much sharp as EDT but here is powder dominanting when you smell it from the distance and if you smell it on your skin you get berries and fruits!!!! That is the amazing part of this fragrance that like it´s name it is 2 sided indeed.
It is very unusual chypre with yummy note, but sadly not my type of fragrance. This is the kind of perfume that doesn´t smell good on me, but i like how it smells on others. A friend of mine whom i gave the bottle is liking this very much actually and on her it smells more richer than me, must be the skin chemistry. I also think that this will suit a girl in her 20´s, not sure about more mature women but i know few older women who would kill for this one!!
I have heard from my neighbour, who´s all time favorite it was and she used it a lot and owned in every concentration, that the best version of this fragrance was EDP concentration since it was the most balanced of them all. It might also be a matter of chemistry since on her this one smells much better and more yummy than on me.
The staying power of this pure parfum version is simply amazing! It has been day 3 today and i still can smell the notes on my arm (i didn´t take shower those days). And on the clothes it is even more long-lasting, i could detect it on my blouse for the whole week!!! That´s the biggest plus to this concentration from me!!!
Really not my cup of tea . I'm not saying it's a bad scent, because it's quality one , with its own personality , it just not fits mine :-)
Very-berry, sharp and sweet, joyful and glamorous. Used to wear it going out in winter 1997. One of my all time favorites!
I don't get the raspberry until later on. The first burst is currant, apricot, sweet pea, and something like spicy leaves. Then, within a couple of minutes, all the flowers spill forward. It's at this point that the raspberry reveals itself for me, it's fresh, juicy quality swirling among the florals.
This is a very warm scent on me, and it pulses off of my skin for hours with a powdery combination of cypress, sandalwood, and the remnants of those earlier florals. The barest kiss of vanilla smooths everything together.
I agree with Action, as far as what I can handle and appreciate now. There was a time when fragrances had 2 smells, as far as I was concerned. Good, or bad. No, I'm lying. There were a few other categories as well...Fruity, Flowery, & Old Woman. So I guess that's 5 then. This one used to be a Good, Flowery, Old Woman. I have since omitted the Old Woman part.
This one is really hard for me to describe - it's feels like an old-school/classic for young women, with a dirty twist (I don't mean "for women with a dirty twist," but rather that it smells a bit dirty, like dirty martini dirty, not earthy or sweaty dirty). There is that sweet pea note that I've come to associate with Nina Ricci - and indeed, this does remind of Premier Jour, though Deci Dela wears nothing like the happiness-on-your-sleeve that is PJ - but other than that, nothing really stands out note-wise, it's quite well-blended. The total effect borders on non-foody vanilla on me, but doesn't ever fully cross into that territory, with one foot in the floral group and the other inching towards the woody chypre (and an arm in the creamy fruit... it's a game of twister deciphering this one). Definitely a complex, multi-faceted creation with hidden gifts for not an entirely uncomplicated young lady.
I think the girls from the 20's smelled like this...
I was excited to test it, but the cypress note did me in. (It's a chemistry thing.) It dominated the whole composition on my skin and I never had the opportunity to commune with all the other lovely notes that wanted to be heard. :(
I have the pure perfume version of this scent-on me it smells like potpourri. A little spicy and a lot like the candle/potpourri aisle of a card shop, if that makes any sense. All the scents kind of mix together really nicely, at least initially, and that scent stays floating around me while the base scent transmogrifies on my skin. A lovely scent and one I will likely continue to use if I can find more (currently just have the 1/2 oz. Parfum).
...bought a mini of this fragrance--I'm glad I wasn't able to find a big bottle because I wasn't at all thrilled with it...so sorry to all who absolutely love this one...Not a fav in my book...
Deci Dela is one of my favorites but I wear it only for special occasions. I feel that I have to dress up a bit for this wonderful perfume. It is a bit heavy at first but after a short while on my skin, a wonderful scent develops. It clings on my skin longer than other perfumes tend to - I'm a very pale dark-reddish-blonde and most perfumes leave me before I get used to them. Deci Dela stays on.
I have to re-discover it again! Lately, I didn't have enough courage to assert myself with this fragrance that really says: I'm here, look at me. Maybe I feel I'm too old for it by now (mid 40s)? Would a pity to lose this perfume in my life...
It's really strange, I seem to love more and more perfumes that I onced 'liked'. It really seems like my nose can handle A LOT MORE than it used to. I really think liking / loving fragrances is related to our paradigm of looking at the world. When your preception of life changes (or broadens), so does your taste in your perfume!!!
I am a chypre lover because I like (just for myself) the way certain perfumes evolve, getting serious and demanding. With Deci Dela the story changes: I want to wear this chypre, as it is surprisingly bright and carefree. There is nothing too much in here, and nothing is less by the way, everything flows smoothly to unveil a beautiful summery rose chypre, easy to go but not simple, classily oakmossy with just a pinch of patchouly, but never overbearing. On first spray DD gave me hints of Gucci Rush, that airy feeling of brilliant rose hovering lightly in a fluffy cloud. Later on I don't feel the jasmine and sweet pea, but fruity hints of peach and raspberry, mingling together and adding glow to the protagonist rose. The drydown gets warmer throughout the day and I can feel the cypress and patchouly and something else, maybe some sweet resin. I see DD as a perfume for all ages, used mainly during the day at work, being energetic and classy at the same time. I have read that DD is similar to YSL's Yvresse; I can only agree that the amount of raspberry and peach/apricot renders it somewhat fizzy, but while DD is a bright rosey peach, rejuvenating and with a springlike outset, Yvresse is a more retained and skin type kind of peach, and heavier.
I have also noticed that during the entire day DD has a good sillage and lasting power and it does resemble Coco Mademoiselle.
I like to wear DD during the day and Ungaro's Diva in the evening, as I like Diva's warmth in the morning, as a basis for a new application of Deci Dela.
I love this scent, on the one hand because I simply like it, and on the other hand because it is so just fit for any occasion that it seems so many times to be the right choice.
I don't have much to add to other reviews.
Just want to mention that for me it's similar to Miss Dior Cherie by DIOR - so if you are looking for a stronger, more mature version - try it!
I just received mine today and I'm already in love with it. It's sweet but not sugary, fruity, powdery, would go with cardigans as well as binikis imo. The oakmoss tone gives it a classy feeling. Simply gorgeous! I can't help smiling when I put my nose to my wrist lol.
Nina Ricci's DECI DELA: buy it for the bottle; stay for the juice! I LOVE this stuff, and as Fragrantica readers may have noticed, I am not exactly the queen of blandishment...
I now own both the pink bottle edt and the orange bottle edt concentree, and am looking for the third, edp, just for the bottle, as I find the edt perfectly adequate longevity-wise. I originally purchased DECI DELA scent unsmelled on the strength alone of the extraordinarily original and delightful (literally full of delights, I now know!) bottle, which I continue to love. I don't wear DECI DELA very often, but the bottles are always there, tempting me in...
I understand the negative reviews, however. When I first tried this fragrance, it was so strange that I couldn't really wrap my nose around it. DECI DELA defied all of the categories familiar to me. I was dazed and confused and decided to set it aside for a time. I believe that it was FRACAS that opened me up finally to DECI DELA, and now I love the latter almost as much as the former.
So what's it all about, this mysterious elixir? you may be wondering. But the question can't really be answered, because DECI DELA is an intrinsically mercurial scent, which undulates in unpredictable ways according to the weather and the wearer's state--both of body and of mind. It's a well-kept secret and will stay that way!
Love this fragrance. Has a depth to it under the top notes of rasberry.
It's charming and delicious with a hint of seductive fun. I find it wears better in cooler weather on me.
Is it true that this smell is going out of the Nina Ricci range? I have been using it for 15 years and I really love it.
What an odd scent this is. To me it is sour fruit and patchouli, not a good combo in my humble opinion. I have tried it on numerous occasions, but always end up washing it off. I have alwas loved the bottle and really wanted to love the juice....but I guess it just isn't meant to be.
Raspberries and patchouli, those are the notes that dominate for me. A sweet little perfume in a sweet bottle. I think there were some variations in the bottle design but mine was the pink opaque glass one with a gold 'cloud' stopper. A friend once asked me what it was when I was wearing it and said it smelled 'sexy but innocent'.
This is my all-time favourite fragrance. I was originally prompted by the interesting bottle for closer inspection. But the content - wow! It's "light" and floral and perfect for wear during the day or the evenings. I am very sad that this fragrance is no longer available in South Africa. Luckily, I still have a 100 ml bottle which I save for special occassions only.
I bought this unsniffed based on the notes/description:
Melon, raspberry and apricot splash with hazelnut, cedar and oak moss to create a perfume that is vibrant, sensual and contagious.
The opening packs quite a punch with the lovely sensual fruity notes, with hazelnut lingering in the background. They are not sharp fruit notes or sweet and icky, they are rounded and full.
I also recall a young teacher of mine at school who must have worn this, it is a very unique scent. I think it's one of those scents that depending on your chemistry, a different tune will be played out by the notes. Your chemisty might emphasize the nutty, the fruity etc and this will decide how the scent plays out on you and what kind of effect it has - eg sexy, sophisticated etc. PS I don't agree that this could be an 'old lady' scent. I think it's quite vibrant and interesting. Almost any age (except very young) could wear this. UPDATE: 24 hours later this scent is still on me!! Its still a delightful lush velvet apricot with hints of hazelnut. TOP staying power! With oakmoss restrictions around, Im even gladder to have a bottle of this.
I have had this scent for ages, but it always disappoints me - but not because it is a horrid fragrance in any way.
I like the start - sharp & green, a touch of mouth-watering peach, sweet peas start to bloom - but this lasts moments on my skin. From then on in it's a soft, sugary, fruit-fest which weakens & sweetens within minutes to a candied fruit drydown. It's barely there on me after 20 mins.
It's gone in a flash & far too sugary for my taste (if only it stayed more like the opening!) but it would be ideal for a young lady in summer & the bottle makes it an ideal gift fragrance (word of warning, the bottle's frosting scratches incredibly easily, watch your nails!).
This was one of those perfumes that I bought in my younger days. I gave it to my mom as she loves the scnet so much, but one day I miss this scent and wanna get a spritz from the bottle I gave her and found that she already used it up. I sniffed the cap of the bottle and I found myself fell in love with it ever since. I spent so many years finding this again and finally a retailer helped me to get some bottle back from Macau! I am so glad that I can have it again and I will keep it as one of my collections, I won't use it up.
a really fascinating bottle...gem of the perfume collection...but which is the 3rd colour of bottle?
From memory, Deci Dela means "Here and There" or something close to that. Yes, this is a happy fragrance, for the young at heart but still sophisticated.
One of my favourites. Love the bottle.
a bit sharp,a bit fruity,a bit soapy and a bit bitter at the first sniff.I can't call it classic nor modern.shape of the bottle,the fruity notes and specially raspberry bring some hints of a modern scent,while the soapy and florential notes remind me a classic fragrance.
as the time passes it turns to something pure floral.still there are something bitter.I think it can be oakmoss(although not listed here)
this is a sophisticated scent for the time it came it,I have the miniature of this one and 4 other nina ricci fragrances in a box and I think this one matches my chemistry better than the other classics.
if someday I want to buy a classic perfume,I rather to buy this one.
by the way I'm so curious to know the meaning of the name "DECI DELA".if somebody knows,please help out here.
As a kid I used to open my mum's drawer of perfumes when she was at work. And I always, ALWAYS ,spritzed only deci dela on my skin. It was so gorgeous and fresh.Peaches and oakmoss.And something "pink"! I still have a bottle and whenever I use it I feel a bright aura around me.So beautiful memories from this one!
I have had 2 bottles of it. It is a very floral and as others have said a young girl's perfume. Of course a woman of any age can wear it. Maybe some day I will get another bottle.
This is my favourite perfume. I have worn perfumes such as Miss Dior, Bulgari, Annick Goutal's Eau de Sud but time after time I go back to Deci Dela. It makes me feel very youthful, fresh, happy and ready to face the day. The smell is sweet and inviting and very welcoming. It has the warmth and openness that makes people want to meet you. Such a lovely perfume.
I disagree with dolita.
I used to wear this years ago and i still think it's young at heart. Sweet caramel fruity punch all things a young girl likes.Maybe you are too old for this??
I understand why it did not have much popularity when it was launched. Too woodsy, too chypre-y for the 90s that were full of watermelons, cucumbers and other fresh things. But - I still love it, love it, love it...Somehow I think of it as of a contemporary version of Mitsouko - a bit more sweet, a bit more girly, but classy and chic nevertheless.I can wear it anytime, anywhere and always feel as it was made for me.
This is one very gorgeous fragrance! Classy, breezy, romantic even. It lasts too. A beautiful experience.
This scent is a mixture of all that is fun in fragrance! This is a scent for a carefree summer day at a fair or carnival. Deci Dela is not cloyingly sweet or too strong. It could be worn by a child or by an older woman. Does having fun really have an age limit??? I will always chase fire flies at dusk & run through sprinklers!This scent is hard to classify in my opinion. On my skin Deci's hazelnut roasts, the cedarwood is freshly chopped, the apricot has just ripened & the juicy ripe raspberries are about to be savored. For some reason this scent makes me think of that poem 'WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL WEAR PURPLE'.

Public invited to help develop Pine River Watershed Management Plan
The Pine River Watershed is a unique combination of lakes, rivers, forests and agricultural land. With only two bodies of water in the watershed that have been identified as impaired, it is important to establish a plan going forward to protect it.
The challenge is to prioritize goals and plans to be able to procure the most money to ensure the long-term health of the Pine River.
On Saturday, April 26, there will be a public meeting at The Warehouse in Pine River from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., including lunch. This is an open invitation; 50 people from the watershed are sought to commit to spending four hours learning the process and then taking a survey.
This information will then be part of an effort by the Pine River Watershed Alliance (PRWA) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency in a watershed evaluation and management process.
The process evaluates all 81 watersheds in the state and develops plans for restoration or protection. Each watershed process takes 10 years. The first two years are an assessment of the health of the watershed. When the data is collected, watershed restoration and protection (WRAP) plans are developed.
The Clean Water Legacy Funds, which were voted on by the citizens of Minnesota, will provide $40 million to address the WRAP plans that are developed for watersheds in the state. It is a competitive process for these funds so developing solid project plans is required.
To help prioritize the plans, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has created a value model process that solicits input to identify what people involved in the watershed consider to be important. There will be two groups. One group will be made up of the technical people who work in the watershed. The second group will be made up from the general public in the watershed.
These two groups will be instructed on the process and then asked through a survey what they value. This input will then drive the prioritization of the WRAP plan for the Pine River Watershed.
PRWA is asking for help in this process. There is never enough money to do everything but this is your chance to help PRWA effectively compete for the Clean Water Legacy Fund money and to make the best use of the money received.
There will be a followup meeting in June to present survey results.
Anyone interested in participating or for more information, contact Ron Meyer, PRWA chairman, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A true story: A New Zealand traveller overseas woke up one night in his hotel room after hearing a noise. A little sleep befuddled it took him a few seconds to realise that it had been the sound of his television coming to life.
But shock soon had him fully alert - his television was showing a video of him lying in bed!
I'm not going to say what country this took place in (and I don't know what hotel) but this was no travel myth.
It might be a scenario that is no surprise to business people, politicians or the like. But I admit it startled me.
Not long after hearing this story an overseas guide told me how, after one of his clients had had a camera stolen from her room, security staff had taken him to their office to view CCTV footage - he swears he saw monitors featuring hotel room interiors.
Hotel surveillance in lobbies, public areas and even in hotel corridors is the norm these days and is usually touted as being for our own protection.
Of course some countries, which take an interest not only security but in the personal lives of their guests probably are monitoring other things as well. I know of one hotel that has a man stationed on a chair all night in each corridor just to watch guests' bedroom doors.
But, maybe naively, I'd always imagined that once one's door was closed that was the end of the hotel's interest - in terms of cameras anyway.
Eavesdropping is another matter. Several years ago while in the Turkmenistan capital of Ashgabat I'd been told not to discuss any issues of local politics in my room or even on the tour bus, as it was believed by locals that bugging was rife.
But the story of the hotel television got me thinking and doing some online research. I was surprised how little I uncovered.
I did learn that there had been some publicity before the Beijing Olympics about possible video and audio surveillance of some hotel rooms. And there is a website dedicated to security advice for American business people travelling overseas which said both video and audio surveillance could be regarded as a real possibility.
Generally it seems that not all hotel rooms are monitored but that some hotels, especially those frequented by politicians, business people, scientists etc. have certain rooms equipped for video and audio surveillance. If it's thought you might be worthy of scrutiny these are the room you will be allocated.
I would also guess that only the more expensive hotels can afford such surveillance systems.
Most of us probably have little to worry about but it pays to keep in mind that hotel phones are unlikely to be particular secure.
And maybe we New Zealanders are not so aware of who might be listening as people from other nationalities who are more used to a Big Brother environment.
I've been amazed how many people sit in Koru lounges and engage in quite sensitive business conversations on their cellphone where all and sundry can listen in.
One piece of advice I did find on the Defence Security Research Centre website was never to do anything or say anything in your hotel room that you wouldn't be comfortable seeing on the front page of your local newspaper - presumably they were hinting at illegal activities or those of debatable morality.
However, it struck me that I wouldn't really want to be pictured on the front page still dripping from the shower to reach a ringing phone or painting my toenails on my bed. You can probably think of a few other scenarios that, while not illegal, might be extremely embarrassing.
But don't even think about hunting for hidden cameras, or draping something over the television set (which apparently is a common location for a camera). This just makes you look suspicious and therefore likely to attract even more covert attention.
The idea of in-room surveillance does seem to raise issues of personal privacy but I would imagine in some countries around the world this would be of no concern at all to authorities.
Outrage at a possible invasion of privacy is unlikely to get you anywhere.
Better maybe to simply always pack a dressing gown.
- Jill Worrall

I feel bad for people who try to get involved in Hollywwod Business and really don't know what they are doing. It is a shame that people use their anger to write a bunch of stuff to try and hurt people because they don't know what they are doing. Hollywood is a crap shoot and it doesn't mean because you put money into a project that it is going to air. Even when you shoot a show doesn't mean it is going to be a big hit. All I know is when inexpirence people get involved in the business they find someone to play the fall guy.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
