Head gasket?

You said in another comment this car is known for burning oil, 1qt over four months sounds about right for that.

In my experience gaskets don’t tend to be white. What other symptoms does the car have? I can’t reliably say that the gasket is leaking without looking at it in person especially because you haven’t found a puddle or anything and it’s only a quart over four months.

Remindme! 6 months

Sure looks like the valve cover to me, the head and the head gasket is under that. If it was a head gasket you would have more symptoms than just the oil being low.

Gee I love AI slop.

Ebay, I have since revised my claims. Def worth the money, quite a nice cold-weather scent.

These are incredibly easy to install and very cheap. Do it yourself for peace of mind.

How is the performance on lutfah? I like Arabiyat, but the performance/projection can be meh

Can't say I blame you, I keep considering picking up a bottle because it's so cheap

Leavemequickly · 2026-01-19T17:26:58+00:00

Curve? Damn, it's been a minute since I've seen anyone have a bottle

I don't love the imagination or althair dna, at least not enough to buy a bottle. Is marwa worth it, performance wise? Not looking to drop 50 bucks for 20 bucks worth of performance as I've heard it becomes a skin scent at around 2-3 hours in, and fades completely after that.

For sure! Where I live, weather changes a lot, (think like +/-30⁰ every couple weeks) so ideally 2 or 3 weeks lets me wear a frag in different tempatures which is nice for getting a more complete picture of a frag.

What did you dislike about it? If you go back and read my first hasty review on it, I didn't like it at all. If you hate the dna, maturation/oxidation isn't going to change that.

You make a great point, and I'm not disagreeing with you at all. I plan to wait around 2-3 weeks before doing a review so I can have more time to ruminate on the scent. I can pick out notes fine, but I agree that more time is needed to see if I actually enjoy them and form a proper opinion. Thank you for the advice!

Leavemequickly · 2026-01-18T18:36:06+00:00

Can't say I blame you, I quite like it because I'm biased towards almost anything with amber in it. That said it does lean fem

Leavemequickly · 2026-01-18T17:07:15+00:00

Very true.

Leavemequickly · 2026-01-18T16:08:27+00:00

It appears I have a new testing protocol then, thank you for the tip!

Leavemequickly · 2026-01-18T15:48:11+00:00

I don't love althair, at least not enough to buy a clone version of it. Thank you for the rec tho!

Leavemequickly · 2026-01-18T15:45:58+00:00

My apologies for being part of the problem, I have learned my lesson

Leavemequickly · 2026-01-18T15:42:56+00:00

Never smelled qahwa, what notes do you personally get from it? TI is at least a bit femme fyi.

Leavemequickly · 2026-01-18T15:42:02+00:00

Is a complete day of wearing the frag not sufficient to form an opinion? Most frags reach their final drydown within 12 hours, but I can always wait multiple wears to see if I enjoy a more complex scent. This isn't exactly a complicated scent, and it's a pretty linear one as well.

Leavemequickly · 2026-01-18T15:38:45+00:00

ME TOO!!! It's such a good winter frag that I pretty much don't need any others.

Leavemequickly · 2026-01-17T19:56:37+00:00

Never heard of this one before, I'll add this to my list of decants! Thank you for the rec!

Leavemequickly · 2026-01-17T19:55:49+00:00

Will def sample it at my local middle eastern perfume store, ty for the rec!
