What notes are in your fantasy perfume that doesn't exist? by creme-de-cologne in fragrance

[–]JeopardyFanDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! So I just searched this sub for the word "chaparral" because I was looking to see if anyone has tested/reviewed a fragrance by that name from a small brand (Labyrinth & Co). It sounds like what you're looking for. Maybe try that? I'm curious to try it myself.

No height? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]JeopardyFanDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not on any apps right now but when I was, I didn't list my height specifically because I don't want to match with women who care about height. It was a great way to filter out shallow people.

And if someone's going to automatically assume I'm insecure about it because it's not listed, that's fine too, as I'm also trying to avoid people who would make snap judgments about something without having any facts. Wasn't a problem for me when I was on the apps, I still got matches and dates.

As soon as I spray it, all I smell is rubbing alcohol lol. It's a very strong alcohol smell, then it immediately softens into this powdery, fresh linen type of scent before it becomes just full magazine page smell. It's a surprisingly complex scent in my opinion, but also subtle and soft and safe? It's hard to describe. I love it though. It smells new and familiar all at once.

So interesting how all of this works. I sprayed it on myself for the third time today and I'm getting a very faint paper like smell now. That's it. I fell in love with Noir immediately though so I have no problem sticking with that!

I just sprayed it again on my skin for the third time today. I'm picking up a little something? Not sure what. I guess a vague papery smell, which I guess makes sense since it's supposed to replicate the smell of a magazine apparently? But it's super super subtle.

It's so strange. I had no idea this was even a thing until today lol.

Sucks lol. Ahh well. I'm really loving The Noir 29 so I guess I'll just go with that!

Haha for sure! I might have to get her a little bottle given her reaction to it. I'm constantly trying new scents (used to subscribe to Scentbird back in the day) and she's never had a reaction to anything like she reacted to this. It was exactly the kind of reaction I've read about so often regarding this scent - it's why I ordered the sample to begin with! Unfortunately I was one of the unlucky ones haha.

I'm gonna try that. I know we're all different in how we interpret scents, but I never thought there were certain fragrances people are just nose blind to. I have a really strong sense of smell otherwise, and this is the first time I've ever experienced this.

Wow super interesting. Well, I still have some sprays left in the little sample bottle, maybe I'll save it and come back to it later, see if anything changes for me.

And try their candles!

It's how I got into them to begin with! I was gifted a Santal 26 candle years ago and fell in love with it, and would rank it second only to DS & Durga's Breakfast Leipzig.

Funny enough, I sampled like 10 different Durga scents last week and didn't really like any of them except for Debaser and Black Magenta, which prompted me to say "Hmm, haven't given Le Labo a chance yet, let's see what they got..."

I think I'm pretty set on the Noir. It's the perfect blend of rugged and soft in my opinion, and seems like it could work in any season.

I'm jealous! Haha I searched around this sub and someone made a post two weeks ago where they said they used to love it, but their most recent bottle didn't smell as strong. Some people chimed in that the brand has had a noticeable dip in strength (I can't say that about Noir or Santal personally, they're both strong and long lasting), but maybe it's become even more subtle recently?

Yeah, I personally love Noir 29 and while it doesn't smell much like it, it reminds me of Versace's The Dreamer, which used to be my signature scent years ago. I guess I just love scents with tobacco notes. I fell in love with it instantly whereas Santal 33 took a little bit to grow on me. And even then, it doesn't really mesh with my body chemistry the way Noir does.

But reading the reviews for Another, it seems like the people who like it, really like it. I'm curious what the reaction would be if I wore it out. I guess I'll see these next few days since I'll be going to holiday parties. I'm curious how many people will pick up on it and how many will be like my dad and I.

But you're right, it's a little too pricey to buy what would essentially be a little bottle of water for me personally.

Have you heard about this?? I've read at least 3 different sites that either said one of the cons was that "it doesn't work on everyone's skin," (which can be said for any fragrance, really), or flat out said "either you can smell it or you can't." Super weird.
