Doesn't like anything that isn't "big" with lots of sillage. Duh.

I depend on them, and scour them before and even after a purchase, judging my reactions against what others have said. And I like the whole spectrum, really.

Abigail, Brian, I do get your point, and I do not think everything under the sun is real estate $$$. However I do appreciate negative reviews and I filter the abundant opinions available on the www by the reviewer taste and style.

Those who log hundreds of reviews just to become "top reviewer" status and along the way they trash tons of perfumes in a useless and totally biased way.

Generally, yes, we're all just clocking in an opinion here, but saying these things are the same is like saying a movie made for TV and a movie made for an Imax screen are synonymous, the same kind of experience.

Why do they write? For the same reason you write your blog. For the same reason Tania S coauthored a book. To tell whoever maybe interested their *~* opinion. and/or to make some $ out of it. Bloggers are usually more articulate, but the bottom line is the same...

There are some frags I love but I wouldn't wear because I don't think people on the bus would love them as much.
