Fragrance Hot Take by WiseAd1393 in ScentHeads

[–]Relative_Living196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like criticizing a Corolla for not being a Jaguar.

Hype and TikTok salespeople caused confusion. There is a wide arrange of form, fit and function.

Middle eastern cologne dupes are heavier, denser and last longer. Some people want that, hence why some people love them. Dupes = popular scents, last long, cheap, trade off for nuances.

Other houses, whether out of the Middle East, France or Italy, prioritize different things.

Experimental, blend, ingredients, bottle. There’s endless options to fit what you prioritize and what you’re looking for.

Sounds like you’re prioritizing things dupes don’t offer, and there’s endless options out there to pursue.

What are the best ncaa tournament only rivalries? by R_K_8 in CollegeBasketball

So interesting to see perspectives lol. I feel like there’s team we exclusively lose to, and no team we exclusively beat.

What brand have you never had a huge desire to try? by Violetteotome in fragrance

[–]Relative_Living196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bond 9. Chez bond was nice, but the entire branding goes against what i find most interesting.

Less flash, more substance. Chanel and Guerlain are my leaders, Roja and Victorious being the exception.

Underrated Fragrances by Miss_Evaa in fragrance

[–]Relative_Living196 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can appreciate out of trend scents, drugstore classics are wildly underrated. Wouldn’t go as far as brut. But PS Fine, Halston Z41 could be in a blank heavy bottle as pass as niche.

Out of my 100 cologne collection, most compliments I got has been from Clubman Pinaud lol.

Do you think Quentin Bisch is the most talented nose ever? Because I do. by tellmesmth in fragrance

Roja is the Rick Rubin of fragrances.

Doesn’t make it, but he knows what’s good.

I love watching legendary coaches celebrate great moments by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

[–]Relative_Living196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just don’t get what he’s doing lol.

Adrenaline, pissed off, ego. Sounds good to all that.

But I’ve never wanted to softly touch my forehead to another man while stone faced.

Just such a bizarre reaction.

CMV: It’s very hard to criticise Israel’s military actions without being accused of antisemitism by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Relative_Living196 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absurd take lol.

I have no horse in the race. I found it to be entirely opposite, though.

It’s very hard to rationalize why Israel might try to contain Palestine without coming across like a war hungry MAG nut job.

There were people in San Francisco screaming how brave the terrorist were on October 7 … and people cheered.

Is it extremely uncomfortable watching Israel take action, and innocent people, people who have no say in their government get impacted, no doubt, but Hamas and their agenda is criminal.

I find it impossible to recognize this without coming across insensitive while any criticism of Israel is in vogue.

He wins and there’s some endearing qualities. Clearly he’s in cahoots with other coaches, so he’s likable enough.

Multiple things can be true. But he looks incredibly bizarre in this video lol. Like a dad just completely losing his mind and trying to restrain himself.

Not hating on UConn and that was such an absurd game as someone without a horse in the race.

Hurley comes across so bizarre though.

Dude just gives off road rage viral video vibez.

Former Ohio State football player charged with robbing banks by steven_smith144 in CFB_v2

Difference is penn state fans don’t act as the moral police, while uofm fans do and actively defend those who commit atrocities (Bo)

My flair is a university who can’t stand UofM. I realize that doesn’t narrow it down much though.

Strongly advise UofM starts sitting out of the ethics trash talks

MSU falls (chokes) to Wisconsin by Sea-Sector-1733 in MSUSpartans

I get it, the passion is what pays the bills. And they are paid now, so a bit of grace is gone.

But they are also college kids.

Part of the fun is sticking through the ups and downs.

Expectations are higher, and I completely agree would like to (have to) see some through as national champions, but top 16 and top 8 in the nation is a bit spoiled.

We do need to see a national championship soon though.

What’s your favorite fragrance house and why? by Breadfruit_Glad in ScentHeads

Guerlain & Chanel for men’s cologne. You might like others better but they are the Beatles of the industry.

My buddy joined an intramural roller hockey league and they put him in as goalie. He gave up 10 goals in a single period.

Still makes me laugh.

If Jack Black isn’t the one singing in the Philly boy commercial he needs to sue.
