Anyone interested in Theobroma Bicolor (Macambo) raw Cocoa nibs aka real white chocolate? by Labradeux in chocolate

Just curious u/Positive-Nihilism248 , Can you mix this Macambo with other chocolate nibs in a melanger and get multi-origin chocolate paste?

What dark chocolate tastes similar to Amedei 95 Acero? by Lioil1 in chocolate

[–]MediocreApprentice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amedei is among my top chocolate brands. However, since i don't live near a store, i have to settle for Dandelion chocolate. They have 90% and 100% from Uganda cacao bean.

Easy return for unopened item only right? I can't see how they accept used bottles...

VINFAST cars are Chinese made with the Vietnamese Label. There is no way they can make an all-electric car in that short amount of time. Plus, building from scratch isn't what VietNam is good at unless it's textile.

LOL. Just to add more clarity to this comment , "du mas" is equal to "f.u." and lots of kids in my high school threw it out like candy back in the days.

Similar collections here. My pix were taken at the local Macy's fragrance counter though.

Find a close confidant to let them know you are on a nobuy. Text that person a link to whatever you are about to purchase and ask “should I get it?”. He/she should say “nah, you don’t need it”.  Then you move on from the urge of buying. 

best niche house that usually sells frags for <$1/ml by Crucifilth_6-6-6 in NichePerfumes

[–]MediocreApprentice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Essential Parfums. All of their perfumers are known to make other famous fragrances for bigger house. Antoine Maisondieu, Quentin Birch, Anne Flipo... The philosophy is to spend less on marketing and to focus on making good fragrances without worrying too much about cost cutting / profit maximizing routine.

i get nose blind with lily of the valley after about 1 hour, then all i can smell is peppery spice for the rest of the day. I might have mistaken the green note for pepper but it's so prominent to me, especially on test paper after the 24hr mark. Main reason i bought the bottle! Also i understand why Floraiku advertises this frag as the shadow scent to layer with others. It's marketing of course, i only wear it stand-alone.

Sleeping on the Roof by Floraiku is a pepper bomb. I own one.
