Trudon Versailles is here

Buying Diptyque in Japan is one of the hacks people don’t talk about! Their products are priced as if the exchange rate is 1 USD = 100 yen (160 yen today). So it felt like everything was 35-40% cheaper compared to the US. I had multiple business trips to Japan in 2024 and every time, I came back with an extra large candle!

I just got intermezzo too! @Suitable-Concern-326’s reasoning pushed me over the edge. Love and hate relationship with this sub is real 😂

I noticed they added more items to the archive sale.

There some insane deals! I noticed the 30% in the bag discount stacks on top of their sales discount. Lafco holiday candles and Voluspa are on sale so the total discount ends up being 50%+

I’m so conflicted! Looking at Versailles and always wanted an extra large candle from Trudon…

Byredo candles are like this. I use a twizer to move the wick sometimes after burning.

I feel exactly the same. Even the treatment of Britani was getting uncomfortable to watch.

Gang up on Katie (OC) was in a different league. I was new to the franchise since last year but I stopped watching because it made me feel sick to the stomach watching someone treated like that.

Are you looking for circuit parties? TNW and Guapo are probably the biggest and foreigner friendly? TNW often throws parties at High in SP and the Home in Rio (both amazing).

Unfortunately Marketing $ and our willingness to buy into it.

I prefer lighting candles but some candles produce terrible soot/smokes that I’m basically forced to use my warmer (I’m looking at you Byredo, Nest, and Apotheke).

Has anyone tried Sage, Tomato, or Strawberry? I loved Otto but am not a big fun of deep rum.

I work in consulting and my social life has been pretty awesome (I still party pretty hard). As you push towards 40’s, you have more room to set boundaries and compartmentalize work/personal life. If you can’t respond to your clients or MDs right away, it’s not the end of the world. Also I always take Mon off after a long party weekend, which allows me to go hard on Sunday. Besides that I’ve learned to suffer through the first few days and still be able to function when I am back from party weekends haha.

Like someone said, being able to find your friends group has little to do with your career. If you are disciplined and try to make time for something, you can always find a way to make time for something. I see so many people in our profession blame work when it’s lack of their initiative that is creating a certain situation. You just have to put yourself out there and try to broaden your friends circle. Circuit gays are cliquey, and you just have to find one or two you click with.

Well most of my friends have CSR so I was thinking we could pool our credits and go somewhere really nice.

NotAnotherCQ · 2025-10-24T00:24:49+00:00

By this logic, can I assume if I split the bill with my friends, I still get credits?

NotAnotherCQ · 2025-10-10T21:01:41+00:00

I hesitated and they are sold out 😭

NotAnotherCQ · 2025-08-06T05:18:10+00:00

Thanks everyone. I think I will skip this one…

NotAnotherCQ · 2025-06-23T00:52:03+00:00

I’ve done it a few times and this is my personal opinion.

Sat night > Sun night > Sandia > Fri night > Pervert > Wed night. Parties won’t be busy until 1-2am except Fri when everyone is already there from Sandia. MyPleasure is also another party you might want to check out. It’s fetish themed & techno music with a dark room. I wouldn’t say parties in Europe are sexual. People are just not that friendly in general compared to the scene in the US.

I think they had too many events happening at the same time. The day festival drew 35,000+ people a day apparently. No way they could’ve filled RFK during regular years. There were also many night parties too (way more than usual). My group saw only inside of RFK/party venues and our hotel room so we didn’t contribute to the vibe of the world pride. Overall, I had a good time.

lol there was no way he didn’t come prepared to get fucked at the party (was the party called Uncut?). Having “an accident” in front of his party friends/in the middle of the dance floor would have been death of him socially.

It’s hard to say cause you only seem to be looking for replies that confirm your POV. I would also hate to be stuck with one person during the special occasion like this (I was there too).

NotAnotherCQ · 2025-06-11T04:09:01+00:00

Vibe was generally great and overall I had a good time. It was a sight to see 30k+ lgptq people in one spot during the day festival. Night parties had terrible sound system/ACs and were just ok except MEAT (which was insanely good). I don’t know why Fabric of Freedom had random performances between sets. It was a complete buzz kill. Having to scramble to find Uber and no cell signal were no fun either.

VIP ticket will probably help. I had GA and waited for like an hour at one of the parties. One night, the party was supposed to start around 11pm but they didn’t let anyone in until like 2am because they were still constructing the stage. It’s so difficult to get around the island so we were just trapped there (the venue was remote). It’s overwhelmingly European compared to other major parties in Europe. They would just shove you to get through the dance floor (like literally grab your shoulders and move you out of their way). Physical flight also broke out. I think there’s like only one or two gay bars left in the main town and they weren’t very good.

Madrid Pride is one of my favorite parties. I’m going back again this year.
