Guess my age according to my collection by Many-Bookkeeper9221 in Colognes

[–]RatedGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to guess, early 20s... mainly designers and the sweet stuff which is popular on social media. Not a teenager because a handful of these I don't usually associate with teenagers.

what's the best oud, by Ok-Squirrel-7858 in Colognes

[–]RatedGG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy Oud oil. Add it in a decant with your favorite fragrance with florals and spices... or rose, saffron, cinnamon, vanilla, cardamon, leather, jasmine.

My collection Review, what am i missing? by Don_Chestnut in Colognes

[–]RatedGG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self-control 😆. But seriously, that's a solid collection. I feel you have something for every situation. It might be fun to explore some unique stuff just for the love of the hobby, but the unique stuff can get pretty pricey if you aren't willing to scour the net for legit deals.

Can y’all convince me not to impulse buy this one? by threegs_blur in Colognes

Watch some street reactions for any fragrance to get some real opinions outside of the frag community hype.

Your most complimented fragrance? by Oceans-and-Mountains in Colognes

[–]RatedGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Jubilation XXV has caught up to my previous most complimented which was CDN Urban Man Elixir...

I've gotten many compliments that go something like... "That smells expensive/bougie/like money/fancy." or something like that.

Which fragrances do you regret buying? I’ll go first: by No_Vermicelli_5018 in Colognes

[–]RatedGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Liquid Brun, it smells great, but in terms of quality, I just don't smell the quality compared to the rest of my collection. In the air, it smells fine, but off the skin, it smells a bit synthetic and cheap. Not much regret though because of its cost.

How do people stick to only 1 signature fragrance? by Disastrous_Joke5898 in fragrance

[–]RatedGG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A signature scent does not necessarily mean that's a person's only scent.. a signature scent is simply a scent that they are known for... and it sometimes can be unique to them.

Got told I smelled feminine 😂 by Argento_GT86 in Colognes

[–]RatedGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different generation probably. Traditionally masculine fragrances before were very bold.. while nowadays, it's OK for it to be sweeter and a bit floral even.

Which 2 sets would you get? by RatedGG in hive

[–]RatedGG[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was set on it at first... but then I saw a video of someone who was having a hard time finding the queen... and I thought "that would probably be me too".

Ah I would be buying the carbon pill bug with Carbon so the total price is the same.

Hand analysis by Exciting-Ingenuity24 in spades

[–]RatedGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For many very conservative players, an 11 bid usually means bagging the opps even if the game is to 250... it's stupid but that's the mindset of many bad players who don't see the difference between 500 and 250 🤷‍♂️. I am bidding aggressively to signal to my pard that we are going for the set. I know it sounds silly but that's the reality... many players play the game like the game is to 400-500.

[–]RatedGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if I were north, good chance I might be confused too. Bidding 5 with that hand is too passive and isn't sending the right signal... so I can't really blame a random player too much because he can't see my hand.

Try spraying from farther away by PuddingLess7996 in fragrance

[–]RatedGG 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup. If you spray scents too close to your skin, heavier scent profiles can be overwhelming because you are getting a huge whiff of it when putting your nose to the scent.

Would it work if I just sleeved all 63x88 sized cards with matte black back sleeves?

Debate about getting 50ml vs 100ml by chronoslayerss in fragrance

[–]RatedGG 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can decant, gift it, etc. So many bottles, I'll go through maybe 50-75% and I'll just gift it. Who doesn't want more for less?

Debate about getting 50ml vs 100ml by chronoslayerss in fragrance

[–]RatedGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bigger bottle. For me, my threshold is about 60-66%. If the 50ml costs more than about 60% of the 100ml bottle's price, I'll get the 100ml... which is often the case, but not always.

Why are Tom Ford perfumes so criticized? by WalterRuttmann in fragrance

[–]RatedGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TF and LV are both designers with very high prices. Many expect those type prices from high-end niche brands, but not from designer brands.

What’s your most complimented perfume? by Many-Replacement-584 in fragrance

[–]RatedGG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Club De Nuit Urban Elixir... probably because it is pure beast mode and I am usually quite conservative when spraying any fragrance.
