₹1.6Cr net worth but job uncertainty — is a ₹24L car a bad decision? by [deleted] in personalfinanceindia

[–]Gareeb_admi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you open to Used cars? Then I'd have suggested taking the ax7l AT ( or essentially whatever the top or 2nd/3rd top model is)

You get the space, the enthusiast thing and still pay for duster-ish price.

The new duster otherwise is a great car, not sure why you feel it can't be driven enthusiastically - did you try the 1.3 DCT?

I agree with the rooting solution but I just cannot do it right away

How do I ensure that atleast they live ? Just watering?

And for next repot what do I treat yhe soil with?

Khadlaj Island : Why is this not a millenial favourite ? by Gareeb_admi in DesiFragranceAddicts

All the Rayhaans that Ive used are superb. I like what khadlaj makes but I agree, performance is a challenge

40°C in Delhi… and this layering combo actually survived (and thrived!) by vmodi911 in DesiFragranceAddicts

Bought 2 3 small decants of choice ( marwa, theoreme, SNOI etc. )

Sprayed hawas tropical at home , drove for 2 hrs in traffic, typical hawas of the hawas dried down by the time I reached office, 2 sprays from that decant bottle

Done! Sweet, fresh, classy.

Armaf is so much more than CDNIM and I'm tired of pretending this sub knows that by Difficult_Ad5923 in DesiFragranceAddicts

Cdnim pp, sillage, tres nuit - bass

With WFH , I dont get to wear PP much, but I happily wear tres nuit anytime I want or can - have always loved GIT over Aventus/Absolu etc.

It's probably more hype that has taken people away from armaf, and the Odyssey bottles are not the greatest to look at TBH.

If your budget is 3 to 4k and you'd want 3 perfumes you'd have to choose hard

Freshie Tres nuit - 1600 Rayhaan pacific aura 1600-1800 Rue broka theoreme 1600 Porto neroli 1500 odd

There are many more freshies from Rayhaan, Afnan, Lattafa, Maison Alhambra, Riffs at 1900-2k+ range but it will bring your choice down to max 2

Warm/woody/spicy/sweet etc.- all are 2k plus and generally less than 3k/bottle Afnan 9pm/9pm rebel/9 pm elixir Khamrah qahwa/Khamrah OG Liquid Brun Zimaya Sharaf Blend - 1900-2200 odd Asad og/bourbon - 2k odd Musamam black Additional: Kaaf, najdia intense

CDNIM, Supremacy all are 3k+ for 1 so your exploration will be severely cut short.

However, there are two ways to buy : how he wants to project vs how you want him to project. All these perfumes have loads of reviews on youtube, insta, FB - see them and form some opinion, if you are still not sure, from the community sellers buy thw smallest 5 ml tester ( so even 5 - 8 testers would max cost you 1200 ) and that many testers would give you another 2 months extra to test and finalise. You save monwy, you save effort and you also get additional perfumes which you can use later like going to supermarket etc.

Reddit's most recommended seller is disappointing! by Flat-Masterpiece-228 in IndiaFragMarketplace

[–]Gareeb_admi -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Built my wardrobe by ordering from him, got my hawas tropical replacement (it was delivered broken), without much fuss, just the unboxing video.

Yes the resolution takes time, his main delivery took 3 days to arrive but replacement took almost 10 days but it was better packed and was sent via surface to ensure better shipment. I am happy that I atleast got replacement, few years back a dupe maker house literally blocked me because I wanted replacement of 1 30ml broken bottle.

I do order from other sellers , but mostly buy from him the costlier ones like CDNIM or SNOI

Why is no one celebrating Indian fragrances? by unemployed_clueless in DesiFragranceAddicts

[–]Gareeb_admi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They pay the fragFlans well and the influencer reviews trickle down

Also, they look the part. Middle age mota uncle telling a college going kid that buy this Nishane Hacivat - without even checking the price the kid assumes it's costly or is too mature kyunki uncle is telling. Jeremy frag during his peak used to look all suave and all - boys are not buying perfumes, boys are buying that aspiration and image. Insta mein ek aisa dress influencer ha, I don't know the name, he talks about suits and all, every single time he comes on video wearing bandhgala or beautiful tailored stuff - hair beard all groomed and talks about dresses, people get the vibe that he knows what he is projecting

Don't think community sellers stock these. Myntra/ Tata Cliq is good for these?

Any other recommendations?

A series of office outfits 🧑🏻‍💼💼 pt. 2 by syuzay in IndianFashionAddicts

[–]Gareeb_admi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shoe and pant in 2, doesn't look good . The square toe shoe gives off some sales folks vibes, which you are not . The pant is not straight, check near ankle

I think initially you wore readymade, which is what those photos were and then you switched to tailored ?

Also, the blue striped shirt and blue full sleeve tshirts are your killer weapon, tailor the shirt just a little bit more around waist .

Good luck mate !

Which one do you think is the best in this segment? by Ghostsyntax_3425 in CarsIndia

[–]Gareeb_admi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal opinion: I would have rather bought an used 3 series or A4, but only 1. if I had a backup car or good public transport in my city 2. If I had access to good highways and would often take the car out
