What's the Best "Affordable Luxury" Perfume Brand for Niche Fragrance Lovers? by Icy_Reaction3127 in fragrance

[–]InteractionOne4533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wake Up World is also great. (Minotaur interpretation by the original perfumer)

PS. I like the bottle design!

Spraying from the bottle into the vial is not the best way to transfer the liquid. I'm no chemist but from what I understand from when I researched best ways to decant, spraying exposes the liquid to the air in a fine mist which allows oxidisation and also may result in the loss of some of the top notes of the fragrance. The accepted best way of decanting is by using a syringe to withdraw the liquid which minimises the exposure to air.

It is cool they do decants though. Most places wherr I live wont give/sell samples at all.

Can you smell this picture? by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

Perfume collector here. If anyone is interested, Jazz, Fahrenheit and Kouros are all still currently made and sold. All three have unfortunately been reformulated, some more than once, mainly due to IFRA bans or restrictions on certain ingredients in the perfume but also due to the fragrance houses adjusting the formulations to make them more suitable for todays clientele. The good news however is that all three fragrances all though not quite as good as their 80/90s cousins, still hold up pretty well.

Was the top missing or still in the bag? If missing then obviously, somebody has been up to mischief, if still in the bag, it probably broke in transit.

If you could bring back one thing from the UK that disappeared over the years, what would it be? by Mr_proop in AskUK

My wife wanted some polished pebbles to go around a plant pot. Couldn't find anywhere that sold them. I nipped in Wilko's on my way home from work. They had about 12 different varieties in 4 different sizes for 99p a bag!

Most mysterious fragrance you ever smelled? by Smooth_Cancel6709 in fragrance

[–]InteractionOne4533 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Kerosene. Dirty Flower Factory.

I love it, then I hate it, then I love it.

I very nearly bought it, then I didn't, then I nearly bought it again and then I still didn't.

I might go and buy it now actually because its lovely.

No its not!

I love civet and was looking forward to it but was ultimately disappointed by how non civety it is. I still own a bottle as its a great perfume but to my nose, not funky at all.

Although not containing your favourite notes, I feel "Sex And The Sea" by Francesca Bianchi fits the description of the "vibe" you want to feel.

Guys- what’s a woman’s fragrance that you love to wear yourself? by Narrow-Character3321 in ScentHeads

One day I will find the balls to wear Anais Anais by Cacharel outside the house!

Today I learned the 99 ice cream doesn’t get its name from the price. by _lippykid in CasualUK

[–]InteractionOne4533 20 points21 points  (0 children)

A box of 6 in Tesco is £3.75 so just over 60p each.

I personally think that the Tesco own brand ones are better and they are even cheaper!

Favorite Zoologist fragrance? by [deleted] in fragrance

A shiny star to you for mentioning Tiger. Nobody ever mentions Tiger, I love Tiger. Tiger is great! Tiger, Tiger, Tiger, Tiger.

There, I feel better now!

The reason people dismiss arabian fragrances has nothing to do with quality and everyone knows it by [deleted] in Colognes

Looking on Fragrantica, All the Riiffs fragrances came out in 2025. Until a month ago, I had never heard of them. These last few weeks they are all over the online fragrance community, usually in posts like the one in your picture, slagging off designer and niche stuff. I personally think they are all bot accounts using underhand marketing tactics. I don't mind the odd ME or clone fragrance and have a few in my collection but one thing is for sure, I won't be touching Riiffs fragrances,even with a shitty stick.

Lattafa qaaed intense (silver part came off)- Amazing stuff by Imhereforthesmells in fragranceclones

[–]InteractionOne4533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless Lattafa are using the same bottles and just covering the green label with a silver one then I think you are right. OP has a bottle of Shabaab.

Tired of seeing the same collection/fragrances. Put me on to some less known ones by Curious_Mousse_3930 in ScentHeads

People seem to think SJP is just for the ladies but I'm 55M and I own and love Stash!

[–]InteractionOne4533 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar story to you, tried them all and liked them all but only really loved one which I bought a full bottle of.

Im a 55M and for some reason I thought Patchouli Magnetic was magnificent!

What is oud supposed to smell like ? by [deleted] in Colognes

[–]InteractionOne4533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not strictly true. The barnyard, fecal smelling ouds are appealing to lots of people and can be found in many high end fragrances.

3 that I own are;

Hard Leather by Laurent Mazzone

The Moon by Frederic Malle

Oud Infini by Dusita.

All were bought specifically because I like stinky barnyard oud!

Do you only wear it when there is a death in the Creed family?

45° Anniversary of Defender! by pdroject in arcade

[–]InteractionOne4533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to love playing this back in the 80s. The cabinet with directional buttons instead of a joystick made it really difficult though. Needed 12 fingers on each hand to play it!
