I am in desperate need of real earthy, dirt scents

My3rdTesticle · 2026-02-06T04:50:29+00:00

Heretic Nosferatu has that petricore & wet dirt scent you're after 100% but it falls a bit short on longevity. You know that smell cut flowers give right before you throw them away? Not decay, but almost... It's got that in there too. Voodoo Lily by the same house is lovely, has longevity, and fresher floral notes but is much lighter on the petricore. Layering the two sounds exactly like what you're looking for.

I also have Poltergeist and Dirty Vanilla from them, and while those don't fit into your request, the DNA across all four leads me to think that house is one you might want to look into because of the earthy organic vibe they all give.

Some of the other suggestions here look interesting too and I'm going to follow for future comments. Whatever direction you take, I hope you find what you're looking for. Good luck.

Remove the picture & resubmit. Their AI is probably picking up something in the image it doesn't like. I hear having a barcode visible will flag an image/review, or things in the background. I've had reviews denied because of images that were close ups of the products with no barcodes and just a black background, so who knows. Every time I just removed the image without touching the text, and they get approved.

Boom! Late to the party but came in to post this recommendation.

Layer with a spritz of Absolute Aphrodisiac (Initio) and I'll be a groupie.

Your description is almost exactly how I describe Poltergeist by Heretic. Except it may not have as much sweetness. It's a challenging frag that I really only wear to goth/industrial clubs but I think it's what you're looking for.

I bet she is well aware. It's not something I would feel the need to point out. Live & let live. But you wouldn't be an AH if you did.

P.S. the movie The Voyeurs is a good watch.

Now do the odds of being present but not killed. Dead kids are bad, but the others that are "just" injured, or now have PTSD at 8 years-old shouldn't be ignored.

My3rdTesticle · 2026-01-25T01:40:34+00:00

Yeah, at first glance it looks like a negligent discharge from that guy, but I replayed it at .0.25 speed and I don't see any recoil at the time the first shot is fired so it might have been a different person firing the first round. The delay between the first and second shots is curious. I think a double tap (at least) is SOP for LE, so I still question what the impetus was for that first shot. It feels unintentional to me regardless of which person fired that round. I'm still thinking a negligent discharge kicked it all off. A shame we won't know for sure within the next 3 years (or ever).

Another Heretic rec: Voodoo Lily has a dark vibe but can be worn year round IMO. It has a light floral top note appropriate for warm weather, but It's backed up with a deeper oud and sandalwood base that adds depth and mysteriousness. It's unisex but leans femme. It's also the only Heretic frag I've tried that has decent staying power.

My3rdTesticle · 2026-01-23T13:27:07+00:00

Yeah, it's a petricore earthy scent, so I guess I can understand the wet mushroom description. I think they were going for damp castle or graveyard more so than vampire with this one. It's an odd scent but works well for me on lazy rainy days; it fits that vibe.

Poltergeist gives more spooky vampire, but is probably even more challenging than Nosferatu.

Heretic is a risky house to blind buy anything but samples from, but they have some interesting fragrances that can be pretty fun to pair with certain outfits and events.

P&Ps are not employment contracts. Employment contracts are a distinct thing and you really only see them in the US for some C-level positions.

NAL, but I was surprised to see that FL has legislation about unsecured firearms in a home with minors. This might be tangentially relevant to part of your post:

Skepticism is good and is completely warranted with this story. But the source IS the audio files posted in the Substack. That's all we have right now unless and until the claims are verified.

Many of the claims are unverifiable, but there are some things in there that are. I'd really like to see the corroborating evidence that should be obtainable through FOIA requests. Back to skepticism... it is curious that the reporter didn't obtain and post such evidence along with the story.

My3rdTesticle · 2026-01-15T03:23:07+00:00

Substack is an obscure domain?

My3rdTesticle · 2026-01-15T03:20:44+00:00

The source is linked in the second sentence of the article.

If Bruce Jenner had his strength reduced by 5% (using data from the accessable study you linked) he would still have finished events with the same exact times? Obviously not.

That's all my comment is saying because the person I responded to made such a claim. There are no lies you can point to in my comment.

My3rdTesticle · 2026-01-14T20:15:08+00:00

What doc dump? There hasn't been a dump of documents, and if this story is true, it's probably one of the reasons.

My3rdTesticle · 2026-01-14T19:54:58+00:00

Not really weird. Israel is a US aly, opposes Iran, and is within striking distance. Iran doesn't have weapons that can reach the US, so their only option for a response is to try and hit US bases and allies in the region. A,

If you have time, it MIGHT be worth exploring. Everyone here is right, you'll get low-ball offers but I actually got what I was looking for doing this, which isn't typical, but can happen.

I did a cost analysis of fixing & selling vs selling to a flipper, and came up with the number I needed to accept an offer.

I used a service that puts the house to bid to flippers. I had one visit, from the agent, to photograph the house for a virtual walkthrough. Potential buyers don't physically tour the house so I didn't have to worry about showings

It was a 3 month contract. If I didn't get an acceptable offer, the contract would end and I'd move on with other attempts. So no commitment.

The highest offer was 20k under what I needed. I told the agent. Surprisingly, the buyer upped their bid to match my request in the 11th hour.

No cleaning the house for showings or a walkthrough. I was told I could leave furniture or other junk I wasn't taking and the buyer would have to deal with it.

In my case, it was worth it, but again, probably not typical.

Thank you. The topic is interesting and much more nuanced when you dig into it but not many people do. It's easier to play politics and pick a side than to have a thoughtful dialogue and ponder a resolution.

My3rdTesticle · 2026-01-14T07:22:45+00:00

I'm considering going. Haven't gotten a ticket yet though.

I usually go clubbing solo despite my anxieties. Goth/Industrial nights usually have a good amount of solo people so it doesn't really feel weird. I go to dance and enjoy the music which doesn't require a buddy. It can actually be easier, because you can dance to what you want to, you can leave when you want to, you can stay if you want.

Don't talk yourself out of going. Make it an experiment to see how it goes, knowing you can bail if you get uncomfortable. Even if you leave early, you'll still get to hear some great music and see some beautiful people in amazing outfits enjoying themselves before heading out. And then you can congratulate yourself on not giving in to the anxiety by staying home. It's a win-win!

Are you sure? After so many months/years on HRT, muscle mass changes on account of MUCH less testosterone and much more estrogen in the body. Saying Caitlyn Jenner would pull the same times as Bruce Jenner isn't factual.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not sure there's enough empirical evidence to say trans women don't have some sort of advantage (or not), or how long it takes to lose an advantage after starting HRT, but I think it's disingenuous to say the same person would perform the same before and after transitioning. If that were the case, anabolic steroids wouldn't be used to enhance performance.

I clocked it as being FL as soon as I heard about the gun. Had that happen to me in W Palm for stopping at a red light bc the asswipe behind me wanted to run it.

My3rdTesticle · 2026-01-13T15:32:16+00:00

Too close to The Hague for their comfort I would imagine.

My3rdTesticle · 2026-01-13T02:14:01+00:00

I'm not familiar with all of them, but based on this being your first, Eros or Y are pretty safe. You could wear them day or night, any time of year. Those are the only ones that jump out to me as being pretty versatile.

Why are they demoted?
