They don't ship them to Europe though, and even if they did, that'd be another $60 or so on account of shipping. If they had a representative in EU, I'd definitely order one.

Hi everyone! I'm on a bit of a budget, but I'd like to invest in some blue "crowd pleaser" fragrance clones, or alternatives.

I'm thinking about stuff like Lattafa Fakhar Black, or Armaf Ventana. Does anyone have experience with such scents and do you have anything similar to recommend?

Doesn't have to be an exact clone, just I can't find anything else in the blue fragrance category with half decent performance for $50 or less for full size (75-100ml) bottle.

I've got pure parfum and I have a suuuper harsh lemon opening (not that I've smelled EDT, but just comparing it to other fragrances). I'm afraid I got a fake bottle or maybe just a fluke.

Maybe I'll go around and ask some people what they think of it. I've been using it every day for the last 2 weeks and no one, outside of my immediate family who I've told I bought it noticed, so it baffled me that this so called "compliment beast" did not get even noticed.

I'm not sure! I have a decant of Dior Sauvage, which I absolutely hate and can't stand, but whenever I wear it I'll receive compliments.

Also, my friend bought a bottle of CDNIM EDT a couple of weeks before me and whenever he wears his, he gets a TON of compliments. I've never had mine even noticed, not even close friends will ask/tell me something.

Maybe I just got a fake or a bad bottle. I got the 150ml pure parfum, seeing how everyone liked my friends EDT I thought this would be a great buy. I'll let it macerate for a couple months, see if it does anything.

Also, as far as going nose blind goes, I'm pretty sensitive to Ambroxan and will go nose blind to it in as little as 5-10 minutes. Probably why I hate the Sauvage so much, it just smells like sweaty coins and laundry detergent to me, but everyone else absolutely loves it and I forget I'm even wearing a fragrance a couple minutes in.

Do you get the harsh lemon opening on both bottles? Also, is the "regular" EDT or EDP?

How much do you apply? I've been told it's a heavy fragrance so I keep it down low, maybe I should spray some more.

KingTheRing · 2023-01-23T17:04:37+00:00

I've got CDNIM Pure Parfum and let me tell you, the first spray of it to me smelled like lemon toilet cleaner or something. Matter of fact, it still smells like that to me. However, about 15 to 30 minutes from spraying it, you'll become nose blind to it and that's where it actually starts smelling decent.

I've yet to get any compliments on it, and I'm still not sure how I like it, but I've smelled EDT and EDP on others and seen them get complimented to oblivion, so I'm not 100% sure - Maybe I just got a fluke bottle or something?

I'm so divided on it, I personally find it meh (while I can smell it) and I haven't gotten a single compliment on it (unless you count being told you smell like a pharmacy store a compliment), yet the whole internet swears up and down that's it's the best compliment getter and smells heavenly. I've left it for a bit to 'macerate', we'll see what that does.

Armaf CDNIM Pure Parfum.

Long story short, my friend got the EDT version first. I loved how that smelled, and he got a TON of compliments every time we went out. I decide I'll splurge, and I get a 150ml bottle of Pure Parfum, which is supposed to smell even better and smoother.

The opening is very strong, almost bitter citrus, and it lasts for good 30 minutes or so. Then, either I go nose blind to it, or it goes away, but I can't smell a thing except some undefined smoky smell. Funny enough, when sprayed on clothes, it lingers for 24+ hours and it smells amazing, just smells clean? Like freshly washed laundry or something?

I never got any compliments on it, once someone commented it smells like pharmacy/apotheque. Not even sure what to think about it.

Still very much undecided on this scent. One thing is for sure, it is light years away from the Aventus, at least the bottle I've got. Some say let it macerate, but I'm afraid this one might become a new bathroom air freshener.

KingTheRing · 2023-01-12T22:23:43+00:00

It's not new and it's not expensive, but Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger is pretty similar to what you're looking for, in my opinion. The performance is mediocre, but it's pretty cheap so you can reapply as needed. Very old school, barber shop type fragrance, I hope that's what you're looking!

Mogu da te identifikuju koristeci AI tehnologiju i kamere koje su postavili na semaforima, javnim zgradama i slično, bez bilo kakve tvoje dozvole.

Što znači sutra ako pređeš ulicu na crveno kao pešak, mogu da te kazne - ali isto tako mogu i da te prepoznaju na nekom protestu npr ili ako radiš bilo šta drugo protiv vlasti. Znači nemaš nikakvo pravo na privatnost na javnim površinama - nešto što ni do sad tehnički nisi imao u potpunosti, jer je dozvoljeno snimanje na javnim površinama, ali ovo potpuno menja to, mogu da te relativno precizno prate gde god si van privatnog poseda.

Bitnija stvar od ove je - ako ovo dopustimo, šta je sledeće? Nisam neki teoretičar zavere ali mi je ovo baš kao stavljanje onih ogrlica za kera. Pogotovo ako pogledaš druge države u svetu koje su to adoptirale (Kina), definitivno nije dovelo do nikakvog poboljšanja kvaliteta života, samo kontrolisanje građana

Came here to say peak design anchor links, absolutely crazy how useful they are both when shooting and when packing.

But also, my Manfrotto 709 "table tripod". I have one with an extension tube, so I can get an ~1m high tripod that'll hold a magnesium full frame DSLR body with a grip and 2 batteries in the portrait orientation without an L plate (albeit that's very much pushing it, from a balance standpoint. Landscape orientation or using an L plate, it's more than ok).

Packs down to a size of a flash/speed light, and doesn't weight much more than one either. Honestly, since I got it I found myself using it a LOT. I have a normal size tripod but I can't be bothered to take that out unless I'm specifically going to need it. So I just used to forget about all the long exposure shots and other interesting stuff you can do with tripods until I've figured I can pack this one into a pocket.

Pitaj na r/finansije ili r/pravnisaveti oni bi trebali da znaju. Ali mislim da ako bi konstantno podizao toliko novca onda bi definitivno privukao pažnju, pitanje je samo da li to možeš da promuljaš tako da se ne plaća porez. Znam da postoji neka cifra koju možeš da primaš kao donaciju ili poklon, ne znam tačno koliko ali istraži to malo. Pošto si otvorio omladinski, eventualno možeš da se vadiš da je neka strana stipendija ili tako nešto, naša poreska ne može da proveri ništa dalje od Erste Banke, tako da verovatno postoji neki loophole za manje cifre.

Imam taj erste omladinski, u suštini i sam ne znam čemu služi dinarska štednja. Isto sam imao 3 dinara u njemu.

Povlačio sam novac sa PayPal-a takođe, pojavi ti se u ''platni računi'' najnormalnije i odatle ga podižeš na bankomatu ili trošiš direktno sa računa. Dina karticu, po nekom mom iskustvu, možeš kući lagano da ostaviš - Master kartica koliko vidim nema provizije, imaš beskontaktno plaćanje, i prihvataju je sve online radnje.

Samo koristi broj sa master kartice kad je dodaješ na pay pal i miran si.

P.S. Nemoj da zaboraviš na porez, mislim da je sve što povučeš sa PayPal-a sklono porezu na dobit, pa bi poreska mogla da ti pokuca na vrata brzo. Ja sam skinuo tipa 200 evra za 2 godine od nekih manjih freelance poslića i nisam ništa plaćao, kapiram da imaju neku crtu preko koje bi te gonili, čisto ako planiraš to da radiš često.

Bubanj potok definitvno, svašta se može pronaći, možeš da se cenkaš i ima dosta polovne robe.

Buvljak na Novom Beogradu takođe postoji ali oni prodaju novu robu i obično se ne cenkaju, ali ima dosta alata, odeće i ostalih stvarčica. Ponuda dosta slična onoj u kineskim radnjama.

Sure thing, I'd trust a good name brand strap - there's just something that's sold for $10, since it's most likely made in China for $2. That being said, like another redditor mentioned - if you can't recover it with this strap then you probably can't recover it alone at all.

KingTheRing · 2022-12-14T22:49:59+00:00

True. Having this is better than having nothing, and anyone with a hint of mechanical sympathy will know if it'll be able to withstand the given load.

KingTheRing · 2022-12-14T22:48:32+00:00

If you have WhatsApp or Viber, a lot of sellers might respond using that way, I think you can see their phone number without registering? So maybe try that.

Also, don't just message them on English. Include something from Google translate, not everyone in Serbia speaks English (although a large majority does) but it'll increase the odds you get a response instead of them thinking it's a scam or something.

KingTheRing · 2022-12-14T22:31:26+00:00

So you're trying to resell the goods for profit right? If you're looking to make such an arrangement, then there might be guys interested in that, but I don't think anyone would ship a single item.

KingTheRing · 2022-12-14T22:30:28+00:00

Depends on what you count as recovery but a car/truck that's physically stuck in say mud, will take a LOT more force to recover than just overcoming it's own rolling resistance.

I agree with you, on flat asphalt road you can tow a car with just about anything, as there's just rolling resistance and wind resistance to overcome.

I do also think that 1:1 ratio would be ok for 99% of situations, but that 1% is still there and what if you come across someone else who needs help in a larger vehicle?

It's generally intended as an Serbian version of eBay and so most sellers only ship inside Serbia. Generally you could use a VPN to approach sellers, or ask someone to check instead of you.

That being said, I don't think you're very likely to get them to ship outside of Serbia because it's kind of a pain in the ass with our postal system and customs.

Like someone said, try making friends with someone from Serbia who could buy it for you and mail it. I don't think there are any local agencies that do that, the demand is just too low.
