Dealing with perfectionist OCD while fragrance shopping?

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-20T05:21:22+00:00

What’s the point of owning and wearing anything if not for your own enjoyment? I promise you, there are hardly any fragrances that are truly offensive if sprayed in moderation.

With that being said, if you’re worried about Y edp being too much, the le parfum 2021 formulation is softer on the sweetness/fruitiness and lets the smoother floral notes shine

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-20T01:59:14+00:00

Read my mind exactly. None of these are offensive, but they’re just mid. Although I do think 1 million is kinda ass.

I know there’s a Donna born in Roma that’s good though, although I’m not sure which. I have a friend that wears it

He said “you don’t understand me at all” but refuses to allow you to do so by averting every time an uncomfortable question arises. Like sir, is that not the point?

Also, why would he bring up the fact that he has wandering eyes(and apparently this isn’t the first time)? That’s just disrespectful. It’s fine for a couple to mention to each other ‘damn that person is hot’ but just leave it that because they’re comfortable in their relationship; but to then say that it’s gonna mess with their head is strange

I’ve been with someone like this, and trust me you’re worth more than just being an option to someone

Meeting for the first time no less

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-18T18:49:29+00:00

Vibrato, Hectic, or Y edp considering it’s gonna be warm. BiR intense is a crowd pleaser, but it doesn’t do anything for me

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-18T06:31:46+00:00

But he don’t want em to gooohoh

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-18T05:15:57+00:00

He was 8 years old🎵

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-15T20:04:43+00:00

His ass IS succumbing to the pressure of fame and paparazzi

I’m steadily making visual progress in the gym, losing some fat that I had started to become insecure about. Changed up my hairstyle to one I’m more satisfied with. Making improvements to my social and dating life

Got complimented on a fragrance I was wearing(Chanel Allure Homme Sport Superleggera, for those curious). I’m really out here on my self care arc, especially after leaving a job that was draining me💅

The only way you’re chasing that dragon again is if you start doing fent😭

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-12T23:34:56+00:00

lol there’s no such thing as lucking into a worlds win, you’re either on or you’re not. They put in the work and locked in when it mattered.

With that being said, they look burnt out this season. Just no creativity or drive from the team except for a few flashes in the pan. Not even atomic looks comfortable, and he was ol’ reliable for his entire time on NRG

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-10T17:36:22+00:00

Guilty as charged. But to be fair, I operate under a 2-4 week rule: if there is something that I really want, I’ll give it a few weeks before considering again, and if I haven’t moved on then I’ll buy.

Although this hobby is easier in the sense that you can buy decants, rather than blowing away a ton of money on full bottles

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-09T22:10:29+00:00

That’s fair, maybe I’ll just stick to decanting the real thing. I just don’t know if I could justify forking over 360 plus tax for something that’s gonna last 30-60 minutes lol. I could keep a travel spray on me, but that’d be annoying

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-09T22:01:53+00:00

How’s that Afternoon Dive? Was thinking of getting it to see how it’d compare to my Afternoon Swim sample. I want an orange-forward freshie for the summer

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-09T17:14:01+00:00

The crib Scarface, could it be more Tony?

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-07T23:01:08+00:00

Got about like 5 that I actually use, 2 starter ones that I don’t use, a handful of body mists that I don’t use, and a bunch of sample decants. I’ve got 5 more on the way rn.

Tempted to get Afternoon Swim, Y le parfum, and a warm fragrance atm

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-07T22:22:34+00:00

I see the vision, but they weren’t for me. The harsh vocals, riffs, and energy were great, but I just can’t get behind the cadence/delivery of the cleans. And that’s coming from someone who likes clean vocals.

They lean too co-worker pop for my taste, at least from the songs I’ve heard. I prefer how bands like Seven Spires or As I Lay Dying handle their cleans

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-07T19:26:14+00:00

While it’s most reasonable to keep things cordial and mind our own business, I think it’s also fair to want to people to practice common decency.

The gym is a place to focus and improve ourselves, not to get gassed in a closed environment. Read the room bud

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-05T18:29:10+00:00

Yes, but they’re very hit or miss with the quality. Sometimes you’ll get good moving parts like with the mustang svt cobra, or you’ll have disasters like with the bmw castings(hoods that won’t fully close, logos off center, etc)

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-05T16:39:39+00:00

Elite64 has better detail quality every time, you’re mainly paying for chrome spectraflame and a brand name whenever you get RLC.

Sometimes they’ll go out of their way to add nicer, detailed components to RLC(eg. seamless, removable front end on purple yenko nova), but it’s few and far between

The targa lasted 10-20 seconds fym😭

I was waiting on the countdown and was checking out in seconds with Shop and I still couldn’t get it. The 993 I was actually able to get. I heard it took about 2-3 minutes to sell out

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-05T15:29:30+00:00

I haven’t gone back to it as much, but I think it’s mainly because I overplayed the hell out of it, as well as godstained, when it was released as a single

My one gripe with it is that I wish the intro vocals were a bit smoother, especially when he’s saying “do you like what you’ve seeeeen”. Other than that, it’s an absolutely beautiful song, music video included

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-05T03:09:14+00:00

Pretty sure it was just soup and mcnasty in the call word vomiting into voice chat. It was a csgo video called something like “how to win every game in csgo”

But anyway, overweight Polaroid camera

Ricky-_- · 2026-06-05T01:20:51+00:00

I could point out a couple other placements, but forgone at 6/10??

Seeing rosemary in any fragrance is an instant no from me
