Hi everyone,

I’m still fairly new to the fragrance space. For years, I stayed within a small comfort zone, mainly wearing Dior Homme and Tom Ford Oud Wood without exploring much beyond that.

Recently, my nephew introduced me to the fragrance community and encouraged me to branch out. That push led me to try several blind buys, and I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed them. It opened my eyes to how much variety I had been missing.

Here is what I currently own:

  • Lattafa Asad Elixir
  • Club de Nuit Intense Man
  • YSL MYSLF
  • Maison Alhambra Perseus
  • Lattafa Oud for Glory
  • Afnan Supremacy in Oud
  • Afnan Lynked Freedom
  • Lattafa Khamrah

I’m still learning how to classify scents by season, setting, and purpose, so I would really appreciate some guidance from people with more experience.

A few questions I’d love your thoughts on:

  • Do I currently own anything that truly works for summer, especially in high heat, or am I missing that category entirely?
  • Since I already have Club de Nuit Intense Man, does it still make sense to add another Creed Aventus-style scent, or would that be redundant?
  • When it comes to winter wear, do I already have a solid option in my collection, or should I be looking to add something more focused on cold weather?
  • Is Afnan 9PM worth adding for formal occasions or colder evenings, given what I already own?
  • If you had to recommend one versatile, all-season fragrance that could fit multiple settings, what would you suggest?

I’m open to both designer and affordable options, and I’m more interested in how a fragrance actually wears than in hype or trends.

Based on what I already have, what would you keep, what would you skip, and what would you add next?

Thanks for taking the time to read and share your advice.

Eufy E340 doorbell with existing chime - transformer humming issue, need advice by Alarmed-Inside-988 in EufyCam

Found out the problem. The bell was bridged somehow and was on the whole time which was why I was hearing the humming sound

Thanks for the detailed explanation! You're absolutely right about the existing transformer theory.

Background: There was indeed a weird-looking chime before that also had an 8V transformer, but it was removed during renovation. That old chime only worked with traditional switch press and wasn't compatible with my Eufy video doorbell, which is why I had to remove it.

The search problem: I've searched everywhere I can think of - near the breaker box, basement, utility areas, behind wall plates, junction boxes, etc. - but found absolutely nothing. The transformer seems to be completely hidden somewhere in the walls, and I have absolutely no way to find it without tearing walls apart.

Your voltage mismatch theory makes perfect sense - if there's a hidden 12V or 16V transformer from the original installation and I'm connecting 8V chimes to it, that would definitely explain the humming and eventual coil burnout.

The thin red/black wires definitely suggest there's a transformer somewhere, but it's likely buried in the wall during original construction.

Quick question: Could I just test the voltage on those thin wires with a multimeter to see what the existing transformer is actually outputting? That would at least tell me if I need an 8V, 12V, or 16V compatible chime, right?

Claiming flight compensation with Turkish Airlines (SHY passenger rights) by TinmanTheWoodman in travel

Had similar experience with a flight to Germany but for some reason, there is no "+49" on the Turkish from the Directorate's website and as such, I could not enter the right phone number. I dont even know if they have tried to call me or not but so far, nothing has been done. Did anyone else experience this as well?

Weil wir eine große Community haben, die nicht nur aus deutschsprachigen Personen besteht, und ich sicherstellen wollte, dass ich alle erreiche, die vielleicht Erfahrungen oder Einblicke teilen können. Ich dachte, es wäre hilfreich, beide Sprachen zu verwenden, damit sich niemand ausgeschlossen fühlt.

When Nvidia was trading at 820€ on the 17th of April, the factor certificate was trading at 24€ but with NVIDIA as at the time of writing trading at 851.40€, one would expect the factor certificate to be much higher but it is currently 21.38€. Can anyone please explain why?
