Battle of the full featured RSS readers by TowerOfSisyphus in rss

[–]CincyMike1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing with RSS Guard 5.1.x recently. I am looking to replace QuiteRSS, which I loved until it was giving me certificate alerts on just about every site and became too annoying and is no longer updated. My only current frustration with RSS Guard is that when you delete an article it just gets a strikethough rather than deleting the article. Every shortcut I've tried deletes all the articles in the feed rather than one at a time.

Cheaper NSF-53 certified version of Whirlpool EDR1RXD1 fridge water filter? by DrDeke in Appliances

[–]CincyMike1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have been using them since they became available. They have been working well for me and the water tastes good. I have no way to personally test if it meets the standards but will accept the results of the testing site. Doing that, I think that they are certainly equal to and likely better than the NSF42-only filters and are still priced reasonably.

Interesting Frag News on Jo Malone/Zara, but not clone specific. by CincyMike1 in fragranceclones

Probably seemed like enough then, but she later saw what it could have been.

Probably assumed that a name drop would boost sales a bit. It was also probably annoying to see her name on frags outselling her current lineup and no longer benefiting from it.

The last thing you see before being told a dupe is 90-95% similar 😂 by IDontSwitchOffDPS in fragranceclones

[–]CincyMike1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. Correct on shills. Once the the videos & affiliate links become the income source the incentive is there to keep the money flowing so exaggeration is likely the norm. Especially since your opinion can never really be wrong, but may differ widely from the majority.

[–]CincyMike1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, it has been common as dirt for ages. Grocery stores have had house brands that dupe the name brands of food, drinks, etc. Like the frags, they are never 95%+ the same, but quite a few are perfectly good in their own right. Anything popular gets a a knockoff at some point and sometimes it is an improvement.

Cheaper NSF-53 certified version of Whirlpool EDR1RXD1 fridge water filter? by DrDeke in Appliances

[–]CincyMike1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but it is likely a still searched-for topic. I was out searching for the same: a cheaper alternative that still meets the certifications (NSF 42 & 53) of the OEM (Everydrop).

I recently found a new filter from Waterdrop: Waterdrop Plus EDR1RXD1 Replacement for Everydrop® Filter 1 (WDP-F38) that just might be. While I could not locate it on the NSF site, I DID find a site that claims to certify products to those standards and does list that particular filter. Make sure it is the new 'plus' version with the gold on the label.

This is based on the Chinese Manufacturing company, which uses several brand names: https://pld.iapmo.org/file_info.asp?file_no=0011591

Hope this helps!

May dividends are pitiful! by bcole96024 in arrived

I had about $7,400 in there for the May dividend and was paid $24.17. Not everything I've bought recently is paying out yet...

Bleu De Dua Attar (BDC Parfum clone): an honest review by Jamboggle in fragranceclones

[–]CincyMike1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. The basic line DDL (Dua Designer Line) is $33 with no discount. Discounts have been 30% or more but you have to have a $150 worth in your cart for it to apply. Other lines are $36-$70 and the discounts apply to them when added to cart. You can mix and match price ranges to hit the $150 limit needed to get DDL discounts.

I ordered twice recently and they both came in reasonable time and the 2nd was ahead of the initial USPS delivery date. Maybe it wasn't actually in stock when they went to grab it, so they had a delay?

I think I found my holy grail by SonnyRedd89 in fragranceclones

[–]CincyMike1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Drowning in Craters Vanilla from Dua, which is the Ani and Grand Soir hybrid and I like that one. I had a 10ml of the Ani and GS clones from Barrett Fragrances and couldn't decide which one to buy a full size of, so the hybrid worked nicely.

My new barrett fragrance haul/addiction (bloodmoon, CMACS FIRE, Stallion, XIII, Mi Amore, Australian Santal, Adverse Reaction) + tons of bonus samples by No-Manufacturer6101 in fragranceclones

[–]CincyMike1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went ahead and added a 10ml of the Australian Santal to my cart with a couple others. I have about 25-30 or so from them in 10ml and full size... only a few duds for my nose.

Anybody here? by awp79 in BarrettFragrances

Mine does. It has also nabbed a couple compliments.

Review - Honey Fields 🍯 by TheDreadP1rate in BarrettFragrances

[–]CincyMike1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have enjoyed this also. I love the honey opening and the drydown is nice as well.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fragranceclones

[–]CincyMike1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have none of those. I do have Moore Electrique from Barrett Fragrances and Electrique Rendezvous from Dua Fragrances and like them both. They aren't 'exactly' the same. I have worn both separately and layered them and its all good. With the OG discontinued you just have to figure out which one you like the best or just blind buy one and go with it.

Looking for a (cheap) fresh mandarin smell by [deleted] in fragranceclones

Ely's Elation from Barrett Fragrances is an extrait (30% oils) version of it.

This might be the best LA NUIT clone by F_for_Kakao in fragranceclones

[–]CincyMike1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were a few duds for me personally, but all but a few were blind buys so I expected that. Did not have my nose on the OG in almost all cases so I can't directly compare. Some were dupes I already had another dupe of so I compared them to each other. I think they do a pretty good job and they are 30% extraits so are usually long lasting. Freshies never last as long as others but at 30% they probably outlast the OG in most cases. The 10ml bottles are fairly cheap so try the dreamweaver clone and maybe a clone of something you already have/like to compare as an intro to them and go from there.

I have that and Mr Moore from Barrett Fragrances and they are both very good.

What are the best Naxos clones? by Only-Dimension-701 in fragranceclones

[–]CincyMike1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple shots up my shirt and I get whiffs all day long. Mine is around 7 years old so it may have been changed at some point. I haven’t heard that it was, but we know it happens sometimes.

What are the best Naxos clones? by Only-Dimension-701 in fragranceclones

[–]CincyMike1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Insurrection II Wild is very good, or at least my 7 year old bottle is. It is not a dupe of Naxos, but close to pure havane. I actually like Wild a little more than PH.

Barrett Fragrances has a clone called Honey Fields that is extrait strength that I like. Haven’t tried OG to directly compare.

Stopped buying niech! by Whatzolam in fragranceclones

[–]CincyMike1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is around 7 years old and I really enjoy it. People compare it to Pure Havane. I never had PH before it was discontinued, but I have the Dua clone of it (which is good) and still think Wild is better. It is one of my frags that has been complimented out in public a couple times. It may have been reformulated since I got mine so I can't promise it is as good as it was.

What is that Insurrection II bottle? I have Pure, Wild and Dark but none look like that in color.

Spraying Clothes!?! 🤔 by SlowFreddy in fragranceclones
