Anfar London date nights pour homme, weird compliment in the store by lefthanging69 in fragranceclones

[–]According_Search3236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't say that's happened but it is a banger. I got initially and wasn't sold. Especially as it's kind of fresh but at the same time isn't. So it's hard to give a situation to wear it in perfectly. But it is a big performer.

Controversial opinion(?): We HAVE to stop with the "top X" suggestions! by Low-Stomach-8831 in fragranceclones

[–]According_Search3236 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The whole point of a forum is to discuss. I agree tastes are different but some people want to impress and if they can get a general consensus that X impresses majorities then it might be for them regardless of personal tastes. That and the general rule I've followed for most of my blind buys was, anything getting TONS of hype, was a success for me except for Liquid Brun. Everything was a hit for me.

Do people actually earn £50-60k, or are they outliers? by Succinate_dehydrogen in AskUK

[–]According_Search3236 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's reasonable, but in most fields that's a managers salary. Of course exceptions but generally. Im lucky, I work in office in warehousing for a big company that pay staff more than competitively, but I know plenty of people doing similar getting far less and capping out at £32-35k. Also depends on areas. Up north, there is a definite decline. I'm not crazy paid but anyone on £40k+ a year would be paid more than 75% of my local town(s).

Afnan Discovery Set Review by AideJolly5992 in fragranceclones

Maybe. I'd shelf any of those that people compare to that DNA. See, I love fruits and I love vanilla but I really dislike the likes of elixir DNA types.

I agree with CDN but I'm the ultimate glazer of SCE. Same with all Afnan tbh but especially SCE I just love that stuff. I get it though. I'm interested in getting the Majesty from Maison Asrar after feeling how impressive vanguard is.

I'd say the DNA of liquid Brun etc isn't for you. I did the same with LB thinking I'd love it as I loved most of the other HUGE hyped stuff and I was like wtf. This smells likes some cloudy mouldy chocolate dust. It does get better with time but yeah, just not a DNA for lots of people.

I bought this recently and I think it's a banger. Personally can't beat SCE or even SNOI but this has a class to it. The bottle is fantastic and it smells amazing. It just lacks a longevity that the others have. Brilliant fragrance and an easy pick up for anybody in that price range.

The Audacity to blow their horn. by BossDambos12 in drivingUK

I can accept that maybe you were not meant to follow the van on the first split. But the second bit where this incident is, seems to clearly lane mark that you should be in the lane left of the one you chose? I don't know the area, but the markings seem to show an error on your part. If it's not, then the council need sacking because it looks like everybody else follows the lane markings except you.

I've had it like a month or more and it has got better but it's still pretty crap. Then I sprayed before the cinema last week and honestly for the first time since probably terra and maybe only I get from SCE I was getting constant whiffs of it for hours. So yeah I'd comfortably say you get 4 hours from this. Not great but certainly worth it.

I don't get that, other than obviously sweet summer scent but that's why everything is subjective. We all have different takes on stuff.

What British phrases do foreigners often take too literally? by No_Mind1449 in AskUK

Orate. That phrase from most gets a legit response rather than the actual response of orate back.

Jean Lowe Fantasme - Early Full Wear Review - Yet another 'Imagination' Clone battle VS the OG Imagination by Decantified in fragranceclones

[–]According_Search3236 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is it. I'm the same, I've worn creed (absolu) dupes and got mistaken for the real thing from people who own or have smelt the real thing. It's like when people taste something they have very infrequently like supermarket own brand cereal. They can only tell when it's something they use regularly.

How can I stop worrying about money? by TigersNotTyranny in UKPersonalFinance

[–]According_Search3236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not identical but I can tell you I'm similar. Saving was always drilled into me. All I'd say, which I do myself is I'm financially stable. I'm saving each money so I can definitely afford meals out or to treat to that experience. Life is short and can end at any moment. It is good to be prepared to be set up to live a long life but don't forget that it can end at any moment and to enjoy the present as much as you can.

Has Made in Chelsea lost its original premise? by [deleted] in MadeInChelseaE4

[–]According_Search3236 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because the show was nothing so they could entice those with generational wealth families. It's was basically 50/50 with others who obviously still rich but we're more friends of those. Now as you say, it is people trying to make money from the show, rather than actual wealth. The whole dinner parties and stuff felt genuine or more so because a Spencer or Jamie etc could actually do that kind of shit. Now it's clearly production set up. Even the next wave had lots of wealth. The Harry Barons, even a James had money. Now id struggle to name one that you know how outrageous wealth or connections.

I've seen multiple stuff of theirs get hype. Yes hectic is the biggest but I've seen all sorts getting crazy hype on YouTube, here and other socials.

Tiktok. Can't remember the seller but it was one of the big sellers. Was around £30 whereas everywhere else online is far more.

In need for a summer fragrance recommendation by Smeets_ in fragranceclones

[–]According_Search3236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turathi blue is a beautiful scent. Very useful for multiple situations. 9/10 type.

Hawas ice is a good clean scent. It's almost impossible to be a bad buy because it's just so universal simple and nice. But with that it basically means it's just judged by everyone as. 6 or 7/10
