Totally agree - it’s a brilliant thread. And Moodynann should be working in the perfumery industry - incredible knowledge, passion and taste. And not a whiff of Merlot - which would please Miles in Sideways.
I picked up the 15ml of this not too long ago, I think it’s pretty nice, lots of saffron and pepper.
I got the 6 x 10ml sample set a month or so back. I got a couple of LV clones in there including Orchestra.
I pretty much like all 6 that I picked. Just trying to figure which ones suit me best (and have longevity).
Anyway, my missus likes Orchestra best and has worn it herself. Maybe I could get a his and hers bottle.
Aww yeah it’s really great to know there are some fellow fragheads on the forum. It’s nice to be able to pay it forward a bit. Dead chuffed this thread has flourished.
The wealth of music knowledge you guys have is incredible. I’ve discovered so many gems since joining. This is a brilliant little corner of the internet. No hassles, just great chat x
I need to explore some more Bastille fragrances.
Bataille sounds right up my rue. I love Tempo by Diptyque and this seems to be similar.
I’m going to abuse your knowledge here.
Here are fragrances I like:
Jo Malone - Scarlett Poppy
Le Labo - Another 13
Henry Rose - Windows Down
Byredo - Rose of No Man’s Land
What would you suggest if I wanted to try something new?
Ok. What’s your budget?
All lovely fragrances btw.
I mean the cost of the ones above is generally the benchmark. So $150 - $420.
The other sample I got was their dupe of LV L’immensite - grapefruit/ginger/bergamot
Another banger, bit more spicy and a nice addition I think.
It’s an ace thread, I’ve learned so much (and spent a few quid too )
Was looking back through this and read your comment. Everything going well? End of a 30 year marriage is quite something.
I appreciate you checking in. The care for others shown in this forum never gets old.
I am well. The sale of joint property should be done this month, which will be a huge load off.
I’m happy to report that im still giddy in love with the girlfriend i mentioned previously. My mental health is good. 'm quite proud and a bit shocked by how i didnt sink into depression or unhealthy behavior.
Im stiill regularly wearing the minotaure and have grown into it nicely. My girlfriend still regularly comments on how i smell. Serendipitously, i received a surprise free second bottle in the mail a couple months after receiving the first, which was originally lost in the mail.
Lately, ive been toying with the idea of finding darker, muskier scent for when i want to shake things up a bit. As if this forum hasnt induced enough spending on music
Best to all
I just got a bunch of scents from Scent Box and I’m calling it the @Moodynann set as most of them are recs from him. Will report back when they arrive.
From now on he shall be known as Oudyman
That’s good to hear. Selling the property will truly give you a clean break.
Its not for everyone but Hermès H24 50ml is half price here. Worth bagging if mossy vibes are your thing!
Bought from these guys a few times. I believe they’re Manchester based.
H24 is a bit marmite for some. I love it. It’s very unique.
Birthday coming up, asking the mrs for a bottle of Chanel Allure Homme Sport. Got the sample a while back on don @Moodynann 's recommendation. Fingers crossed!
This forum is a lovely wee corner of positivity, and whilst I don’t know most of you I’ve met a few in person and obviously, you’re sound AF in real life. Cudos to @Apiento for this thing
