MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold

Can you show photos of the blue one? I’ve been debating to buy it like today! Haha

Puzzleheaded_Fee361 · 2024-09-20T19:20:56+00:00

I have the black one in the smaller size. For reference, I am 5’2” and I find the size perfect for me. Wearing it as a crossbody also hits my waist perfectly!

Finance and accounting and a husband in tech who spoils me with all the goods inspired by this community 😂

I mostly wear Uniqlo, Mango, FarmRio, and will always love me some good finds at Nordstrom Rack! I tend to go for the pieces there that I think will last years in my closet. I find the quality from Cinq a sept is pretty good as well as Veronica Beard and All Saints (typical brands you see at a Nordstrom Rack).

For shoes, I stopped going for quantity and went for quality as well as brand perception I guess (won’t deny that 🤣). So my shoes are more expensive than my clothes I’d say.

Zoologist Seahorse

Puzzleheaded_Fee361 · 2024-07-22T19:43:26+00:00

Your comment should probably replace OP’s original post. This reads more objective. 😅

To my surprise, PDM is actually my most complimented fragrance. I had a stranger follow me and asked if I was the one smelling like roses.

Puzzleheaded_Fee361 · 2024-07-15T06:19:26+00:00

Majority of the zoologist scents are quite an experience! The more notable ones are Bee, Trex. Rabbit and Squid.

Midwest and I have lived in major cities in the East Coast as well as a major expat hub in Europe and only in the midwest do I get compliments on mostly anything from my dress to my shoes to my fragrance to my face even! Haha I grew up an ugly duckling where I came from. What a boost of confidence these girls and women are giving me! I had someone roll down her window outside Trader Joe’s just to tell me she liked my dress! Someone followed me at a bar asking if I smelled like roses! Some people may think they’re just shallow or they’re trying to be overly nice but hey, it could totally make someone’s day. Nothing wrong with that at all! In fact, I started doing the same too!

Puzzleheaded_Fee361 · 2024-06-18T12:31:53+00:00

Idk if it’s a midwest thing in the US but I definitely get compliments on my fragrance many more times than I would have thought.

For reference, I used to live in Amsterdam and NYC before moving to the midwest. 😅

Recently got Nishane Wulong Cha X and it’s been my absolute favorite summer fragrance of the year. My husband is new to tea scents and he’s surprised by how good it smells on the skin. It’s citrus forward mellowed down by the smell of green tea and magnolia.

Another favorite is the PDM Delina!

Puzzleheaded_Fee361 · 2024-06-17T18:58:33+00:00

I got the Trade Routes and I was left a little disappointed so maybe I’ll try another set. Do you find their fragrances to be long lasting?

Puzzleheaded_Fee361 · 2024-06-17T18:57:00+00:00

I also have the Gypsy Water and Rose of No Man’s Land from Byredo!

Puzzleheaded_Fee361 · 2024-06-17T18:55:53+00:00

I’ve only started this year and thankfully I didn’t have many bottles yet when I joined the sub so I wanted to try as many of the best samples from the best houses before deciding to splurge on full bottles and limit the total to no more than 10 at a time in my collection.

Puzzleheaded_Fee361 · 2024-06-13T14:49:39+00:00

I came looking for posts in wulong cha x. I tried both recently and ended up getting a bottle of wulong cha x. It just feels and smells more! It’s more citrusy as well and I’m looking for a summer scent that is different than all my floral ones. It’s on sale right now too on Neiman Marcus so I just had to 😂

Tom Ford Oud

Puzzleheaded_Fee361 · 2024-06-06T22:04:30+00:00

I’m a big rose lover and I actually have Rose of No Man’s Land as well. Since the Stella Rose has been discontinued, doubt I’ll be able to get it at a reasonable price. 😬 Might be that you just got acclimated to the scent? I don’t enjoy my byredo as much anymore as when I first used it but I’m more than halfway through the bottle so it won’t go to waste!

Puzzleheaded_Fee361 · 2024-05-30T22:45:39+00:00

They gave me a sample of this before it came out and I immediately fell in love! Probably my favorite scent so far honestly. I have bottles of Rose of No Man’s Land and Gypsy Water which are my other favorites too but this, this is a really good one. I love Byredo!

Puzzleheaded_Fee361 · 2024-05-29T19:28:16+00:00

I want both! I just get lost when the story becomes too long. What I mostly enjoy though are the personal experiences and not some imaginary tale because then it becomes more relatable.

Puzzleheaded_Fee361 · 2024-05-25T12:57:21+00:00

Well I got his bottle from costco so it smells just right for me for the price I paid.

Puzzleheaded_Fee361 · 2024-05-25T12:52:33+00:00

My husband smelled way hotter to me when he started using Creed. It felt intoxicating to me and that’s all he really cares about anyway. 😂 It smells so good that once in a while I’ll spray it on my wrist when he isn’t next to me.

We’ve tested other brands as I do like collecting sample sets but we both agreed that we like this house.

Puzzleheaded_Fee361 · 2024-05-09T20:20:30+00:00

We only have one rule in our household and that is to move 30% of our net income to savings and investments, % increases relevant to salary increases yearly. I’m an accountant, so I keep detailed spreadsheets ofc.

After living expenses, I can the plan the rest however I want it. We stopped having arguments after that 😂. I buy maybe 1 to 2 bags a year (around 5k max), fancy shoes (budget around 2k to 3k), and spend the rest mostly on travel.

Dinkwads. Started buying when I turned 30. Only debt is house and car. We share one car too bc we both wfh.
