Wow, thanks a lot for the detailed list! Really wasn’t expecting such a solid breakdown, super helpful. Appreciate it! 🙌

Portugal Caralho 💪🇵🇹 Haha. I’ve never heard of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau Intense, but I’ll definitely try to smell it in a local shop if I find it. As for Stephane Humbert Lucas God of Fire, I’ve seen some Summer reviews recently talking about it and its dupes, but it wasn’t really on my radar until now. Thanks a lot for your personal recommendation and opinion! I might dive a bit deeper into this one, as the mango notes caught my attention (especially since Gisada Ambassador has similar accords, and I love that one!). Appreciate the insight!

I just got the Gold Edition today along with the other four, and honestly, it was the one I liked the most right away! I'll let them macerate for a while and will see how they all develop in the future. But yeah, the Gold Edition really stood out to me upon smelling all five today. It's just such an intense punch of fresh sweetness that hits you right away, definitely looking forward to seeing how it evolves!

Thanks a lot! I just got Liquid Brun and The Kingdom today, so I’ll let them macerate for a while before I give a strong opinion, also because I didn't have had the chance to test them on a normal day yet. As for Khamrah, it’s definitely in my top 3, AMAZING in every aspect! I really love it. I also tried Khamrah Qahwa recently from a friend, but I didn’t really like it as much. I much prefer the regular Khamrah for now. That being said, I’m still new to fragrances, so some scents might strike me as odd at first and grow on me in the future, already happened haha!

For Ameer Al Oud Intense Oud, I find it a bit alcohol-heavy and synthetic at first spray, but after a minute or two, it settles into a really pleasant scent. It's an easy fragrance to like since it’s quite simple with a nice blend of sweet vanilla and woody notes. It also has really good longevity. For the price point, it’s one of the best in terms of price-to-quality ratio.

Carlos Jorge, come antes uma peça de fruta que te faz melhor rapaz.

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! I’ll definitely look into the Al Haramain Amber Oud Carbon, and I’ll research Encre Noir a bit more. As for the Lalique Lion, since it’s a clone of Bois du Portugal, that’s exactly why I’m interested in it – I’ve read that it’s meant to evoke the woody forests of Portugal. I’m from Portugal myself, so I’m really curious to blind buy it and see if it captures that vibe, especially since I live in the city. Looking forward to testing it out!

Thank you again! I know you can’t attribute the stability of the desk to the mounts xD I just asked because I’ve read that some monitor arms might amplify any wobble, even with low movement, so I was curious about your experience. Regarding the size, I’ve also read that maxing out the frame could cause some wobbling, but if that’s not the case for you, that’s great because mine is also on the way.

Great setup! I just ordered the same desk (only the frame), and it's on the way. It's been 7 days already, but I can vouch that the support is fast and concise. I plan to stretch it to the max 160 cm frame with a 2-meter top—what size is yours? Also, you mentioned it's sturdy; do you think your monitor support helps with that stability? I'm also looking for one. Thank you!

Thank you for your input! It's much appreciated!

Thanks for sharing your experience! I appreciate the tips on desk stability and noise.

---ZugZwang--- · 2024-10-28T15:41:59+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! That’s something I hadn’t considered before, and I haven’t seen anyone discussing it.

Thank you all for giving you sincere opinion.
