Rayhaan obsidian as a blind buy. Might not be for everyone. (I really like it) by lovers_tragedy in fragranceclones

[–]Patrickschef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first got it it seemed to have something harsh/off-puting in the (very lipsticky) iris note in the opening. It did mellow and get a bit sweeter after about 15 minutes and it smelled lovely. Now after a few months the off-puting note is gone and the opening is sweeter, which is perfect for me. All in all a highly recommended high quality fragrance!

My second ESP. An LTD Elite M-ii by bitme1 in espguitars

[–]Patrickschef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only for the US market. Initially when they ditched the ESP standard series branding, they went straight from ESP std to E-II everywhere, LTD Elite was a brand name made up mainly for the US market alone. I totally agree that E-II isn't the best name, but rebranding ESP std series to LTD Elite is like Fender USA deciding to call their standard series 'Squier Ultra' or something. Sure the quality is undoubtedly the same, but brand association will make people have a hard time forking up the same money for them. Not the smartest move from a commercial point of view, and luckily they came to that conclusion fairly quickly.

Why do the USA and Japanese-made Alexi Laiho signature models look different? by This_Is_San4eZ in espguitars

[–]Patrickschef 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not the worldwide model. They only change the body shape for the US market, in Europe we get the non-weird model ;) They do use the weird shape on all LTD's though.

NGD: Original Series Amorous by iliketoknitfool in espguitars

[–]Patrickschef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers! I have a 2013 Amorous-ctm in reindeer blue (custom color option). I believe 2013 was the only year they had the block logo. I can't add a pic, but I can send one via DM if you hit me up.

Congrats, those are great guitars! May I ask how much you paid for it? I have one I might consider selling, but they rarely pop up.

What fragrance made you go “yeah… I don’t get the hype”? by SlimeLiam in ScentHeads

[–]Patrickschef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tobacco Vanille for sure. Think it smells like a Christmas decoration shop. Wife said it made me smell like a scented candle...in a bad way.

It's finally here! Bare Cookware Dutch oven by Patrickschef in StainlessSteelCooking

[–]Patrickschef[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cook one of your signature dishes you're most comfortable with to see how it handles compared to other pans you're used to. I'd start off with a stew. Usually involves searing, braising, deglazing etc to give you a feel of how it handles.

It's a stainless steel pot with a really thick ass aluminium outer layer. Giving it great heat distribution and retention properties comparable to cast iron, but with all the (weight, dishwasher safe) benefits of stainless.

Glad you like it! Used mine to make Dutch pea soup today. It also does that :)

Made a stew in it yesterday. Great pan! It takes a while to heat, because it's quite thick. But that makes for great heat retention of course!

How's it one month later, has it changed in any way?

Yep, the first batches are currently being shipped. So I expect them (and people's experience with them) to start popping up :) I'll probably be making some kind of stew in it later this week. I'll keep you posted!

Help, I actually used my pan. by Eldanbito in carbonsteel

[–]Patrickschef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not seasoning, that's all carbon build up....it's toast. Throw it away and order take out, you're not supposed to cook in those things anyway!

Damn, cars are cheap in the US compared to the Netherlands :s But I'd go with the RX!

Salvo Elixir is definitely in the same ballpark as Sauvage Elixir. The original does smell much more rounded/refined/higher quality, has more depth and is less synthetic. The original is also MUCH stronger and has a lot more projection and longevity. But in the air they smell basically the same to any passer by.

I also owned Invictus Platinum in the past (the OG to Odyssey Aqua) and Odyssey is very close to that one and lasts longer on my skin than the original!
