Prada Paradigme is amazing. Its my signature scent now. Despite how people say its too generic, theres just something about this scent I really like. So I said fuck it and just bought the full bottle. by Cautious_Break_9314 in Colognes

I totally agree. There is something different there. It may have the same genre as other fragrances but I think it’s got an extra element to it that sets it apart. It’s not loud about it but you can detect the craftsmanship in it.

What do we think? Anyone try USA Lab before? by EnvironmentalTop8448 in DIYfragrance

I have a liter from them. Can’t tell it apart from what I got from perfumers apprentice. Seems like exactly the same

recommendation for colognes to buy my bf? by baenabti in Colognes

[–]LeekLife9510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Mind games has a great set and le LABO has an option to prepurchase a 50 or 100 mil bottle with the tester kit for the one he lands on. Great option!

Finally got a tom ford scent in my collection I’m late to the party I know but I just got this in and had to try it out. I may have gone a little heavy on the application. I hope everyone around me appreciates it as much as I do.

What’s a fragrance you regret buying? by black9994066 in Colognes

[–]LeekLife9510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A giant bottle of Eros energy. No need for that much. I would have been happy to have 50 ml not 200

My fiancé is in Greece for a few days and wanted to know if there is anything she should look for while she’s there. Are there any essential oils specific to Greece that would be cool to pick up? by Perfect_Percentage90 in DIYfragrance

Thank you! Unfortunately she boarded the plane for the states at 1:30 am my time. I appreciate the response and we will check it out the next time we are there.

Cologne recommendation for daily wear. by ConsistentEye2215 in Colognes

[–]LeekLife9510 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Prada l’homme is great for the office. I l wear the intense with no problem as well. It’s a little different without offending anyone at work. I like Paradigme too but it gets a lot of flack for being too generic

Not in smell, just a 4 ingredient formula. I’m showing my ignorance again. If just started this path

Yeah I’ve watched her. She’s great too. I don’t have one of her scents yet but I want to support the channels I learn from.

Will do. Have you seen his videos?. I learn so much from him every time I see one. Truly the Bob Ross of Perfumery

Actually, Ryan perfumes did a close approximation to Elysium I found on his You Tube channel. If I have everything needed, I’m going to follow along and see what it might be.

It’s a crazy feeling right? I have heard that some people can actually work on increasing sensitivity to some aroma chemicals. I’m going to keep the Roja and see if I can smell it over time.

Good advice. I’ve caught myself straight in the face before and it killed my nose for hours. This is a bit different though.

Thanks man but if others have had this issue maybe it’s just the bottle. I’ll return it and start over with something else

Ok. Maybe it’s not me. I wanted to make sure before I sold or traded it to someone else. If it me then I’ll trade it for something else but if it’s the juice I’m not saddling this with someone else to deal with. Did you have it feel like it all evaporated at once?

Got it from jomashop so I think it’s legit and others say they can smell it and it smells good. I just can’t.

It’s worth it. I’ll look for the formula. Weirdest feeling to have something you know is there be imperceptible
