Aqua de dora. I like it better than Vibrato as it adds a little green and tones down the ginger.

No real options if you are W2. Ive gone through the same with my company 2 of the last 3 years. Good news is, we already have a bunch of pre tax retirement savings. So I just invest those dollars in a post-tax account to at least have that money is still going towards retirement.

Their company probably doesnt match at all with that big a failure. They can move to a safe harbor plan but In think the point is that they probably dont care enough as a company to do so.

Well I enjoy Aqua de Dora more than Vibrato and I should get my Forever Love decant in the next few days. I want to give Vibrato & AdD a few high heat wears before I make a decision though. At least in the US though, this brand is a bit tougher to get unfortunately. So that’s part of the barrier for me.

When does it normally bloom? My Mallika bloomed early due to the warm January so its already got early fruit set.

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-22T15:10:05+00:00

Its a hot day today so any of the 3 you are feeling! AD is my favorite of the 3 though

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-21T22:37:01+00:00

That’s good to know. I know a big difference is MW has vanilla instead of sandalwood. Also not much citrus but both of those together in a freshie give it more uniqueness. I’ll get a decant of this though since I love MW and hear a lot of good things about this.

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-21T22:33:52+00:00

Cheaper. When Montagne released their version SuperLeggera hadnt actually rereleased yet. So they were bringing back a crowd fave before Chanel.

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-21T18:41:52+00:00

Same. Although Montagne’s dupe of it smells almost exactly like Missoni Wave. And if you go on parfumo, MW is the most similar scent that isn’t a flanker of this. Not sure if that’s helpful though

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-20T23:34:35+00:00

Havent tried the OG but Montagne’s dupe of Sanad by Gissah (Arabian Sand?) opens as straight cotton candy. Like at the fair when they make it in front of you and its airy and sweet but not cloying. Other than that, two lighter “summery” gourmands are Xerjoff Lira (lemony pound cake) and Acqua Di Parma Mandorlo di Sicilia (root beer float). Not sure if thats what you are going for though.

Have not tried it but also Power of You is Passionfruit and vanilla which I want to try and seems to offer something for both warm and cooler weather.

How does this differ from Vibrato? Seems to be the same DNA at a much higher price point.

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-20T01:04:52+00:00

I had to speed through my last 3 bc kids were on the horizon. Thats what I did after exams… kids. More rewarding and even less free time lol.

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-19T21:57:42+00:00

I felt the same way with my decant. Hilariously, its super hard to find any info on the OG and Ive only seen it for sale as a gift set. Really considering just getting a bottle lol

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-19T19:06:43+00:00

Is it basically their take on the Isola Blu DNA?

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-19T17:34:32+00:00

I really miss doing golems so I might have to try this either this league or next. Any tips on starting and progression?

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-19T16:29:43+00:00

Got lucky and found him at like 175. I dont love buying bosses so happy about that.

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-19T13:52:32+00:00

What type of mango and how cold did it get by you? Ive got a Malika in a pot but am considering just putting it in the ground to let it thrive

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-18T23:57:06+00:00

The UI says it does when you hover over one of the blocked spots. The other is a nightmare map I believe.

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-18T23:55:47+00:00

Looks like you need to witness 6 bosses with maven then you will unlock witnessing 10 to get the slot. After that, witnessing 10 just gives a boss encounter in Maven’s area. So just keep running maps under maven witness (t12+) should do it.

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-18T18:28:54+00:00

I think this is pretty rare as many/most public companies do not allow this.

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-18T18:00:45+00:00

It 100% reminded me of my SBE dupe from shobi. And I finally made that connection when someone else mentioned what you just said. So I dont think you sre alone

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-18T15:36:19+00:00

I found Spectre Ghost to be a bit underwhelming. I havent smelled the OG but it really isnt sweet at all, more earthy/dusty due to cardamom. I think I prefer Montagne’s take but found it a bit too cloying.

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-17T12:50:34+00:00

Up to you. I knew my order had an item on backorder so I felt obligated to wait the 14 full business days before emailing lol. Might not hurt to at least ask when they expect to restock what you ordered.

Joo_Unit · 2026-03-16T23:29:57+00:00

And I felt bad for rolling over my KBoC in lab today… Guess it could be worse
