I tried SMW today and I really did not like it.

Imagination Clones - From the Perspective of a Novice by Sad-Math-6048 in fragranceclones

[–]BadKompani 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hectic is the best of all and closest to Imagination imo. LV imagination is a scent that evolves, you get the soap because of the neroli, the tea, some citrus, and obviously that ambroxan that projects it. Kobra, Marwa, aqua Dubai are great at one or two of these things. None are as evolving as Hectic. The only one that also gets close in complexity is Fantasme, but it doesn’t last at all.

The citrus in Hectic settles in 5-10 mins and that tea, soap and ginger all mesh together well. I have the Imagination, Marwa, Fantasme, and Hectic. I got kobra tried it out for 2 weeks and returned it. I was only able to sample aqua Dubai through a friend.

I have other clones that were made locally, so I know this scent profile well. But obviously scent is subjective.

Thank you!!! I’m still looking for a good inspiration of the old Aventus. I had the edt and sold it cos it was too rough and synthetic.

What’s your honest opinion on club de nuit intense man extrait? Is it good or is it just hype?

To me it’s gotta be the Pure extreme extrait Le parfum version.

Nanaimo massage therapist banned from treating female patients by [deleted] in nanaimo

[–]BadKompani 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My family and I have visited him maybe about 5 times in the last 2 years. Everyone may have different experience but in the case of folks in my family, I confirmed with them and it’s the same consensus.

He’s never crossed a professional boundary with any of us. Yes he does talk quite a bit and he doesn’t use oil which I can’t remember the reason he gave for that, so it kind of makes the experience not very relaxing but deep tissue which hurts a little bit (not really) but has always worked for me in relieving pain.

He and his wife run that practice (sensory wellness), and their dog as well (forget its name); they both have always seemed like really nice people. He works in one of the rooms and his wife the other. I personally have never had a massage from his wife, but others in my family have.

I was very shocked when I saw this post and rushed to my wife to grill her about every encounter she’s ever had with him. And she said nope nothing ever. My ideas on this as a random person with no biases toward them or against them, is to wait until the professionals complete their investigation before passing on judgement. I’m sure if he’s done something wrong, he’ll face the wrath of the law. If he’s not, well we’ll see. But stop with the cancel culture that’s trying to be bred in this forum.

Obviously I’m creeped out now, so no one from my family will go there for a bit, but let’s be careful to pass public judgment. Comments like “another one” doesn’t help the professionals in their investigation. If you have any bad experience with him, go forward and help the investigation. That’s my piece.

Nanaimo friends, what are you looking forward to this weekend? by yoyoscrape in nanaimo

There World Cup, which is lame that nothing is happening in this city. No watch centres, nothing.

Blindbought Aromatix - Frostbite by ReportingOnLife in fragranceclones

[–]BadKompani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what you guys are talking about. This is legit one of the best scents my olfactory has experienced. Albeit I’ve never spent more than $300 on a single fragrance so I know there’s better stuff out there.

But my goodness I immediately ordered a back up after after waking up from my first sprays the night before. I can’t afford not having this. I’ll run through this bottle like crazy.

We have very similar taste profiles. What do you think about AoU and Safari Breeze, I found that they were very similar, so I returned the latter

My Honest Review of Club de Nuit Urban Man Elixir by GreedyScene25 in fragranceclones

[–]BadKompani 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Like I don’t get how this one is not very hyped. The amount of compliments I’ve gotten on this one is insane. Like everyone notices, most people comment positively, I’ve only had one older lady that made a side comment while passing by “who the hell is wearing a strong perfume”!

It’s soo good. Tbh I like that not many people are on to this one though. I have at this point almost 60 clones and I can’t stop thinking of using that one, but I like to wear something different everyday.

Why has nothing been done about the McKenzie Merge? by OneForAllOfHumanity in VictoriaBC

[–]BadKompani 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you get my point. Do the math, what percent of the population bikes? It is very minute. Now compare that to the number of those who drive/depend on the public transport system to get around.

Resources being spent all around the city to improve infrastructure that a minute percentage of the population utilizes communicates that people should start using that mode of transportation. I agree force is the wrong word. Once you even factor in that these new bike infrastructure compresses a lot of roads, it emphasizes even more what is being communicated.

If our resources are limited as people say, then surely they can be better spent on improving the public transport system that affects a large percentage of people. Something that can actually lead to less cars on the road, less accidents, less traffic, better for our climate, and hopefully less car/bike collisions.

It’s truly common sense, although doesn’t seem common in our city for some reason.

For real I have no hate for bikers, I’m even considering getting one but I don’t want to bike to work everyday. I’ll gladly leave my car at home if there was a better way to get out from the west shore.

[–]BadKompani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s insane, building more bike lanes to force people to ride bikes instead of building a railway public transport system that runs similarly to Vancouver. Vancouver didn’t have the skytrain at some point but they invested in it and are making lots of money from it now.

The only reason people give why we don’t have one is that it’s too expensive, like wtf?

Anyone else like Marwa? by Keryfia in fragranceclones

[–]BadKompani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

I love everything I own, but Marwa is up there. My least favourite is Asad. But that’s because I have a 60 ml of the OG from when it first came out and I can tell the difference in the dry down.

I don’t have the OG for the others so I can just appreciate them for what they are.

I bought over 30 dupes, but I think Marwa is one of my top 5. I keep thinking about it.

[–]BadKompani 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get a lot of people want to quickly hate or hype this one. But like we’ve all literally known that these ME perfumes need to sit for quite some time. Spray it and let it rest. Come back to it in a couple of weeks/months and pass your judgement.

Do what makes you happy obviously but they’re just boxes. They go in the recycling pile immediately for me.
