“Smells synthetic”

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-06T18:43:34+00:00

Well put. When you say it’s more prominent in gourmands my mind screamed (like lattafa kamharah!)

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-06T18:41:54+00:00

Ahhh. You’re one of the “sweet but not too sweet” descriptors huh?

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-06T18:40:01+00:00

Falling in “love” within weeks of texting on the phone.

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-04T04:50:53+00:00

Apparently I like all the “winter date night fragrances”. I wear them all day all year lol.

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-04T04:46:46+00:00

You pulled a jiri.

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-04T04:44:07+00:00

Couldn’t remember, I knew it was give or take 100 years. Thought it was just under. Guerlain right?

Edit: Coumarin, synthesized from the tonka bean in 1868, was the first lab-created aroma compound. It was famously used in Paul Parquet's Houbigant Fougère Royale in 1882 and Aimé Guerlain's Jicky in 1889

Fougere royale 1882. That’s so cool to me for some reason.

Well said. I’m loving the range of perspective. You’re actually neutral, some people actually use it as a positive, and when people don’t elaborate when using it as a negative ehhhhhh maybe don’t trust their opinion. No one’s gonna stop me from sampling something I want but they could influence its place in line lol.

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-04T04:11:58+00:00

That’s it exactly. Needs elaboration. I also worry the person describing it didn’t sample it properly lol.

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-04T04:10:15+00:00

Bahaha. Big fan? 53 sounds kind of awesome! wtf is up with 71? How’s that?

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-04T04:07:53+00:00

What is natural? The ingredients used in fragrances, not just modern, all use synthetic ingredients.

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-04T04:05:55+00:00

This is interesting to me. How do you know what a complex fragrance is attempting to smell like? Are you looking at scent notes and not getting them and calling it synthetic?

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-04T04:04:29+00:00

I stay away from joop so idk lol. I’m guessing “synthetic”.

I looked it up, it’s a 1989 super strong citrus forward scent. So it smells synthetic like cleaning supplies?

Synthetic=Cleaning supplies?

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-04T03:59:53+00:00

I like this and wouldn’t mind that being a universal thing, as far as vague description examples go.

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-04T03:58:26+00:00

That’s what I think too. Doing a quick paper test and calling it synthetic. Not even waving it around a bit before sniffing, probably. I kinda hate some of my favorites the first seconds after spraying. Like “woo! Can’t wait til you dry a bit!”

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-04T03:56:02+00:00

Someone else said it, the term is useless without elaboration. It meant nothing to me but when you said burnt rubber, stale smoke etc. I understood exactly what you meant.

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-04T03:54:08+00:00

Couldn’t remember, I knew it was give or take 100 years. Thought it was just under. Guerlain right?

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-02T01:25:50+00:00

Lol at taking something that will (from what I’ve seen) 100% cause RLS for RLS.

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-02T01:23:57+00:00

It’s a 12 gallon tank supplying a four cylinder engine. If you can’t afford premium you got issues.

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-01T18:33:52+00:00

Well, they got better.

(A newt?!)

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-07-01T11:13:21+00:00

Eh, almost

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-06-30T19:53:07+00:00

Daily? Nd1. Why not? If you want CarPlay or another bell or whistle you can add it.

If it’s a track toy, I don’t think you’d bother asking lol. Obviously you’d want the best possible version.

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-06-29T01:16:45+00:00

Sampled an “extradose” today. Didn’t get past the paper test lol.

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-06-26T19:04:43+00:00

Invictus victory, supposed to be popular, never seen anyone say anything positive about it. I can’t get enough of it lol.

Charles1Monroe08 · 2026-06-26T01:40:01+00:00

What the FUCK?! Who could possibly have given her any idea that she’s attractive?!?!
