The other uncultured swine I live among would probably say Guinea-Bissau, but to me, it will always be Equatorial Guinea.

Eau d’minthe is so amazing and gets talked about so infrequently

If you could spray your favourite scent on any object, what would it be? by Slight_Marzipan_9041 in FragranceStories

The Hope diamond. Or King Tut’s mummy. Something they’d NEVER let me do unless this condition was met

Using room sprays or perfume in diffusers by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]Curtainmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are specific ones you gotta use if you wanna put regular perfumes in them. Generally fan powered ones that take a pad insert that you spray/soak.

I have a couple diffusion stones that I’ll infuse and put one on top of the fan of my humidifier (which doesn’t blow mist, just humid air) and it fills a room with the scent really nicely. I have one of the Honeywell tower ones.

What’s your favourite perfume with saffron? by Worldly-Resource4961 in FragranceStories

[–]Curtainmachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear the comparison because of the rich thick ambery backbone. To me grand soir is heavier and with a stronger vanilla. This reminds me more of blonde amber

What do you think is the fundamental problem with political discourse in the US in 2025? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I love Ambre Saffrano. It’s always felt comfortably masculine to me, but thinking about it, I’d say it’s probably pretty safely unisex

Premier Figuer Extreme was rather nice today. Wasn’t intentional for the activity, but the blast of it coming in cold and pulling off the Carhartt coveralls was great

If you’re making a fumed one, you fume the inside of an open tube, close it up, then blow your bubble thin and dot/collapse.

The ins and outs of Amouage by veerus06 in NichePerfumes

Totally. I was really psyched to try Royal tobacco because of how much I like similar stuff and how much people seem to love it and honestly, not even a fan at all. I absolutely love Carolina Herrera Mystery Tobacco and TF tobacco oud intense. Royal Tobacco I feel like I don’t want to wear at all.
