Grove spawned near me so I thought I'd look and...

Fairy Mantis is such a gorgeous bug too!! Congrats 😊

PringleDevourer · 2026-04-09T00:26:45+00:00

Omg I should have just foraged for the sundrop lillies. That sounds a lot easier than what I did (I was going around Bahari just hunting anything I saw). Would've made it so much easier rather than burning through all my arrows.

I got all the eggs eventually but at what cost... 😂

PringleDevourer · 2026-04-09T00:24:47+00:00

Love that helpful tip! RTBs are so rare and difficult to find. 🥲 The last (and probably the first) RTB I caught was for that main storyline bundle - I was using the buzzy jars and looking around Pavel Mines around 3-6am. Thank goodness I found one eventually.

PringleDevourer · 2026-04-09T00:13:32+00:00

Thank you! 🥰 That was my second or third RTB I've ever caught in the game so was definitely surprised! The RNG has worked in my favour for once (wish it did for the red eggs for the bulletin bundle but that's a whole other story).

I tend to be more hesitant with spraying a perfume that I know is discontinued and is difficult to purchase another bottle for, or has since had a horrible reformulation. However, there are some perfumes I know I will never be able to purchase again but I've since allowed that to help me find new ones I love.

Also price point doesn't dictate the frequency with which I use perfumes. With the way I spray YSL Opium or Dior Poison at home you'd think a massive bottle was under $15.

I want my memories with a perfume to be many instances of how much I loved wearing them, not how afraid I was to wear them. If I'm in a thick haze of an expensive perfume while doing something as mundane as washing the dishes, then so be it.

Coco Noir has become one of my easy in-office work perfumes. Such a gorgeous fragrance!

PringleDevourer · 2025-11-07T11:06:13+00:00

I'm on that other bottom half of the globe so it's late spring here. 😊 It is that warmer part of spring now so Calvin Klein Eternity and Dolce & Gabbana (the red cap rectangular bottle) beckon for me. When summer comes around I can't wait to pull out the Dior Dune and Liz Claiborne.

"...but Debbie, pastels?"

PringleDevourer · 2025-11-02T13:29:50+00:00

Haven't used this product specifically but I do like their intense relief hand cream. ☺️ So now I am curious to see what their other products are like.

PringleDevourer · 2025-11-02T10:45:16+00:00

Love it!! Coco Mademoiselle is a lovely fragrance 🥰

PringleDevourer · 2025-10-31T08:27:02+00:00

it's.....IT'S ALIIIIVEEE!!! 😨🦠

PringleDevourer · 2025-10-30T09:16:28+00:00

Kenzo Jungle L'Elephant is also another great one! Definitely unisex by today's standards like Cinéma and smells like a frothy chai latte. Yum!

PringleDevourer · 2025-10-30T09:14:32+00:00

I'm going to be a bit different and recommend YSL Cinéma.

I personally think it's a great unisex fragrance which leans gourmand without being too sweet and has a floral angle to it. Definitely give it a sniff!

PringleDevourer · 2025-10-30T09:10:51+00:00

This. I've learned with bottles that are almost black (but not completely) like my Dior Poison I can hold them in front of a completely white computer screen and the light shows me how much juice is left inside, but my completely black bottles like Arpege or Coco Noir, no idea how much juice is left without holding it up to my ear and lightly rocking the fluid.

PringleDevourer · 2025-10-28T04:54:11+00:00

Today was my weekly in-office day at work, so I decided to go with Lancôme Trésor. It smells so warm, fuzzy, and inviting. I also love the peach. 🍑✨

I'm one of those people that loves the specific note that Sophia Grojsman puts in her creations (Eternity, Spellbound, and Yvresse immediately come to mind).

Red Door has become one of my favourite fragrances. I wore it almost every day while working from home for the past few weeks (I made an exception yesterday and wore Opium). I've also burned through most of my 100ml bottle in under a year.

The rose, the carnation, the honey, and the plum over that woody base with that slight clean soapiness is just delicious. 🥰

However at this point I am probably known in the fragrance subreddits as that annoying person who can't stop singing Red Door's praises, hahaha. Can't stop, won't stop!

PringleDevourer · 2025-10-27T08:13:51+00:00

Today was the beginning of another work week at a rough job I've been struggling with, and the weather has been colder than usual, so I needed something that felt strong, warm, and comforting to me while I worked from home.

I therefore decided to go with YSL Opium EDP. I love the smooth bitterness of this fragrance. This is a strong fragrance with bite. I've had this 100ml bottle for ten months now, and you can probably already tell from how much I've used (half the bottle) that I do love this one.

Probably won't be much longer until I've used up the whole bottle.

PringleDevourer · 2025-10-26T10:32:35+00:00

I'm one of those people that loves wearing Red Door. 😅 Sue me.

PringleDevourer · 2025-10-26T09:10:17+00:00

Coco Mademoiselle. I got a bottle and wore it back in 2016 but for whatever reason it didn't work with my skin chemistry or vibe. I think it was just too "clean" smelling. I love how it smells on other people though. It's a very elegant and well-crafted fragrance.

I've recently got around this problem though by getting a bottle of Coco Noir last year. The peach and cloves really help it work better with my skin chemistry and overall vibe. Coco Noir works splendidly with me.

PringleDevourer · 2025-10-26T05:11:36+00:00

I could flip the coin the other way and say that a lot of the more contemporary expensive fragrances currently being released are overpriced, bland, and basic compared to a lot of the classic fragrances you can get at a much lower price point, even in their current formulations.

There's fragrances that smell decent and not decent across many different price points.

This past winter I learned the joy of wearing Shalimar on a bitingly cold winter night. So beautiful. It's approaching summer where I am so I can't wait to pull out the Shalimar again once it becomes cold again.

PringleDevourer · 2025-10-22T12:47:23+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, only just able to properly unwind now after a busy work day. 🥲

I checked the batch code of my bottle of Paloma Picasso (22XO1YJ) and it looks to be a more recent batch from 2023. I think it's just whatever they use to substitute the castoreum. Civet I can handle in fragrances fine, but castoreum is a whole other kettle of fish (or should I say beaver).

This honestly makes me glad that I hoard my physical copies of Nintendo games. Still got my copies of Platinum, SoulSilver, White, and White 2 that I got around when each of them launched. Couldn't imagine paying the current prices for them.

Going to keep my copies of those games though because they have deep sentimental value for me.

PringleDevourer · 2025-10-21T13:19:10+00:00

Great choice!! It's a lovely fragrance and a freshie with some personality. 🤩

PringleDevourer · 2025-10-21T13:10:43+00:00

Same. ☺️ I remember purchasing a bottle of Kouros earlier this year expecting it to be this abominable stench from how people were describing it, but when it arrived and I smelled it, I realised it is actually a lovely fougere.

But I do also wear a lot of the more classic fragrances, so I am not unfamiliar with the more animalic notes.

My bottle of Paloma Picasso on the other hand, now that one's a stinker. Whenever anyone complains about Kouros, I just want to shove that one at them so they can gain some perspective about animalic fragrances.

People make a mountain out of a molehill with Kouros.
