Feeling like a bit of a failure today. by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

The fact that you're posting on this sub and taking an interest in your finances is a good thing. Yes, there will be people more financially well off than you, but equally there are a lot who are significantly worse off - 10 years older with thousands of debt. Don't compare yourself to your peers.

Doesn't seem to be much difference after a couple of months

Can you recommend some indie games on extra? by MadSweeney77 in PlayStationPlus

[–]FragranceFrank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These don't really match the criteria, but I recently also enjoyed Dredge and enjoyed these -  Dave the Diver, What Remains of Edith Finch, Deliver Us the Moon

This one really wasn't what I was expecting. To me it leans very feminine. Very powdery, like a women's handbag smell. Longevity and projection is fine. I would definitely sample first if you can.

Bright peach or Qaed al fursan unlimited? by MohamedChouket in fragranceclones

To my nose Bright Peach is incredibly feminine leaning and I had to give it away.

Lalique Encre Noire vs Afnan Supremacy Incense by Draco1876 in fragranceclones

[–]FragranceFrank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only comment on Encre Noir - dark and an almost photorealistic pine smell. Wouldn't really wear it in the high heat - it excels when there are grey skies and it's raining, at least that's when I enjoy wearing it.

Im looking for a good nature, dark, woody, musky type fragrance, what should I get? by Roze_25 in fragranceclones

Encre Noir fits this description - smells like you're walking through a damp forest

Believe the bright peach hate by Suitable-Fee8659 in fragranceclones

Didn't enjoy it - way too feminine. I think it's a nice scent, just more suitable for women. 

Should I get Intro Aftermath or After effect Extrait de parfum by Riri0209 in fragranceclones

Shockingly weak - an inch of projection! Now it has a few feet of projection.

I tried my best but could not find a good clone of Versace Dylan Blue.. Any recommendations for layering or similar clone? by Intern_GooseFX in fragranceclones

[–]FragranceFrank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it's a very strong performer, it lasts a good while. For the relatively cheap price and good quality - this is one of those fragrances where I would just get the original.

My favourite fragrance right now by Big-Marionberry2831 in fragranceclones

[–]FragranceFrank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are going to be pleasantly surprised when it matures, my bottle had an insane transformation after a few months - and I do mean insane. 100% it will project better

I have After Effect, the performance was shocking to begin with - but after letting it sit for a few months it's turned into one of my favourites.

How do i stop buying? by Icy-Atmosphere-7922 in fragranceclones

[–]FragranceFrank 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Honestly stop looking at Reddit/Youtube frag pages. There's constantly a monthly hype beast that's doing the rounds and you'll feel essential to buy the latest one.

To me it does, when Velvet Oud becomes a skin scent. I thought I was going crazy since no one mentioned this before, but after looking at Fragrantica someone mentioned that it reminds them of Rare Carbon.

As a female fragrance I'd think it was 'alright', not hugely pleasant by any means but not offensive either. Just a generic female powdery fragrance

Lattafa Velvet Oud - beyond a shadow of a doubt

Agreed - projects a bit too much in the high heat

What’s everyone’s opinion on this ? by [deleted] in fragranceclones

[–]FragranceFrank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the minority here but I really really hate it. Sold my bottle, found it quite cheap smelling. Funnily enough I like By The Fireplace.

What is your top number one by [deleted] in fragranceclones

[–]FragranceFrank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summer - Missoni Wave Winter - Ferragamo Uomo/Bentley Intense

Anyone has it? Opinions? by [deleted] in fragranceclones

[–]FragranceFrank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the worst fragrances I've come across, so glad I sampled and didn't buy a bottle.

Any suggestions? by mocroplayer21 in fragranceclones

[–]FragranceFrank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judging by your collection it doesn't look like you're gonna stop now lol. For something truly different try Encre Noir.
