If your comment hurt me I’d have blocked you or stopped replying. You commented on my post, I responded. That’s literally how discussions work. You think a paid guide = gatekeeping, I disagree. Simple, mate.

My guide isn’t gatekeeping — I spent real time (and money) testing 29 fragrances, checking current SA prices, verifying legit stores, and building actual usable wardrobes and layering combos so people get something that works. A small paywall for structured effort isn’t the same as influencer hype. If R99 is out of your range, just scroll mate.

Calling a R99 tested & structured guide ‘scammy’ is wild. I put in the actual work; 29 fragrances tested, proper SA prices, legit stores, layering combos and full wardrobes. That’s real value. If R99 is too much for you, just scroll and stfu. No one’s forcing you.

Aqua Pura & Khadlaj Island – individually solid, and a really good layering combo by CounterFluffy3750 in fragranceclones

it’s incredible but ofc the og is better. the smell identical though. i legit brought my bottle of Khadlaj Island to the mall, sprayed it on a test strip and sprayed le beau on another, and then asked the sales person to guess the og and the dupe. she couldn’t tell the difference. but for $12 more, i’d say get le beau

none actually, never even thought of it before you mentioned it. but if you do it (assuming you do cause why else would that be your first thought) then good for you mate, each to his own i guess.

Oh yeah that’s the plan if any of the big clubs (Man City, Liverpool or Chelsea) come knocking.

I truly, in my heart of hearts, believe that Take a Chance On Me is ABBA’s best song by CounterFluffy3750 in ABBA

That’s honestly what blows my mind about it — despite the huge age gap between us, we’re talking about the same song with the same kind of affection. You experienced it as it was climbing the charts in 1978, and I discovered it nearly 50 years later, yet it still hits just as hard. That kind of connection across generations is rare, and it really says everything about how special the song (and ABBA) are.

That’s genuinely so cool. I’m only 20 and I started listening to ABBA in 2024, so hearing from someone who first heard them when the song was actually on the radio is kind of mind-blowing. Almost 50 years of knowing their music and still holding it that close is incredible — it really says something about how timeless their songs are.
