Have been looking for a bottle, a sample, a broken sliver of bottle with a hint of scent still on it of Dingo for centuries - no luck yet, but hope springs eternal. I wonder if the name was at least part of the reason for why it disappeared into the black hole of perfumes.<br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-51695717758601544762014-04-27T14:39:17.106-04:002014-04-27T14:39:17.106-04:00Ah, memories, scent memories.

OH - Miss Dior, that rosey smooth sandlewood - NOTHING like today's Miss Dior. What a shame. Funny how the perfume industry just 'rolled over' and allowed the outlawing by the EU (if I have it correct) of certain scent ingredients. As always, it is business, it must be all about the money. The 'old people' who knew these scents 'die off' and they are sold anew to people who have no scent memory of how they were before. Who cares and the cash registers continue to ka-ching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-89504922305068899522014-04-26T21:17:31.261-04:002014-04-26T21:17:31.261-04:00Shalom Harlow is the most beautiful person on eart...Shalom Harlow is the most beautiful person on earth!!

And continuing the Australian theme, I'm stunned as you to think that there was once a perfume called Dingo. I have to say that the native Australian dog does not conjure any pleasant ideas for me as a scent. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215941533619052461noreply@blogger.com
