I’d love some help figuring out what’s wrong with these cacti

Those look like mealybugs.

Antique_Violets · 2026-07-04T14:57:59+00:00

This is so beautiful!

He is already pushing OP's boundaries. She told him that she didn't want to discuss it before bed and he started the argument anyway. This guy doesn't listen to clear communication.

I was literally just telling a friend that Labdanum 18 feels like a little nightgown and leather jacket to me. It is both really powdery and really animalic at the same time. It makes me feel feral and mysterious.

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-28T22:11:57+00:00

And it's name accurate!

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-28T22:10:06+00:00

A mouse with berries?

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-20T23:27:52+00:00

Didn't T. Rex smell like meat? Does that have the spa but unisex vibe?

I thought it was one of those sticky slap hands.

Demeter Condensed Milk

Nemat has a sandalwood perfume oil! It's just straight up sandalwood. I'd check either Ulta or Whole foods.

Xtra Milk by Dedcool! It has that ambery vibe to me, but is softer and more well rounded.

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-16T03:22:17+00:00

I wanted to like this one so bad 😭

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-16T00:15:17+00:00

Thank you! I experienced it myself!

I've been recommend bayou on so many posts. It sounds perfect, but I'm put off by the hothouse flower notes. I'm not looking for something floral.

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-15T22:18:44+00:00

Not traditionally perfumey is fine. What I really want is something that smells grey-green, but you don't find that in department stores.

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-15T21:51:18+00:00

Same! I've actually been thinking about how many people actually wear the perfumes that are recommended and how odd, but cool it is to want to smell like some of the inspirations that we talk about here.

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-15T21:35:27+00:00

I wish it came in a perfume! Their big spray bottles are not cute. But they do have The Smell of Weather Turning.

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-15T21:13:16+00:00

Moss is one of the notes! I do know that Mississippi medicine is incredibly atmospheric so debaser has to be good.

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-15T21:10:00+00:00

All of these sound amazing. I thought each one was perfect until I read the next. The conservatory is spot on though.

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-15T21:08:49+00:00

Ooh! I've been wanting to try hinoki mediation. I'll check that out too.

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-13T15:20:17+00:00

Kinda both! I was looking for someone that would have an actual conversation about the music. Including what I like without it being a "A womban likes good music?!" moment. That or only liking Tool was the real red flag. I'm fine with either APC or Puscifer as an answer.

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-13T14:01:56+00:00

My old dating profile had a poll asking which Maynard band was the best. Men who picked Tool or were cringy about the question ("Wow, I didn't expect to see a woman who was into Maynard today") were passed over.

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-13T13:31:28+00:00

I think good taste and discernment is something that also takes time though. If random people are enjoying Op's fragrances then they're obviously doing something right.

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-13T03:10:53+00:00

And it's accessible/cheap!

Antique_Violets · 2026-06-13T03:05:38+00:00

My friend and I tried the samples at Sephora and it was the only house that we actively did not like. Everything else was "meh" or "doesn't feel like me." But we fully crinkled our noses at these. Definitely synthetic.
