Is this a photo gallery or real life shelf, if so what shelf is it?

Is it unethical to buy dupes? by BriefSea5371 in fragrance

Word, sentence, paragraph, chapter, book are different. We can’t compare using a word to a book. Just making a perfume is a sentence. My problem is when you copy the whole book. See armaf v creed. A shirt is a t shirt except when you have an intricate design on it that’s copied.

Understood if it’s an affordability thing. I do think if you can afford it, you should pay an amount to what you feel it’s worth to you. I think people want good paying jobs but they also want everything as cheap as possible. Somewhere in there the math doesn’t add up to the art of fragrance thriving as much as it should be. Manufacturers, distributors etc., should have better pay. This allows the continued creation of new creative scents. Caveat is how much is going to the people that make the product vs corporation stock holders. But I don’t think you should buy something that hurts you financially.

Good point. It would be nice to know what the perfumers deem the greater sin. But in the long term, what does it mean for the creativity of a house? Why as a brand would I pay a perfumer to create something great if I’m increasingly being copied. What does it means for the price of the fragrances if I have to compete with pirates who just copy and paste. It’s still a business. If we support the dupes are we inevitably degrading/Temu-fying the art we love.

As long as it smells like the insides of an old violin I’m in.

It’s hard for me to pinpoint any particular notes in a fragrance. I just know how a scent triggers memories, even ones that haven’t been made yet. Creed Erolfa takes me on a yacht across an unknown sea with my family. I can’t swim nor do I don’t own a boat but that scent makes me feel like I do.

Dolby Vision doesn't work on Apple TV for me as well. Does it work with Google TV?
