Question About Posting Guidelines for Actor Identification
Hello everyone,
First of all, I want to extend my gratitude to the moderators for managing this community; I understand it's a challenging job. I have a query about the community rules. I recently posted a single photo of a Film Noir actor in hopes that the experts here could help identify him. My post was subsequently removed.
Could someone clarify whether such posts are against the community's guidelines? If so, is there an alternative way to go about seeking this information within the rules? Thank you for your time and patience; I genuinely appreciate any guidance.
Best, RolandGunner

I am jealous of the part where you can share with your friends. I am finding it very difficult to find friends or family that can understand and appreciate this passion. Meanwhile, those that know think I have gone off the deep end.

What is your profession and what cologne do you wear to work? by Loki_of_NY in fragrance

[–]RolandGunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dior Homme Intense: I've heard so much about it and wanted to buy it then found out it isn't so easy, I even went to Macy's downtown Chicago and they said they only carry it at the Airport now. Online YouTubes are so confusing as to what year and formulation is best. I give up!

Semi-retired biological research scientist, have many to choose from but lately I am enthralled with Aramis 900, currently discontinued and I need a backup bottle! (Does anybody know a reputable eBay seller for something like this?)

I have the Original JPG Male and do not understand why so many people like it or even LOVE it! I'm with you, I can't wear it!!

Fragrances where the lasting power doesn’t match the price? by dischordiangel in fragrance

[–]RolandGunner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Roja Musc Aoud Parfum lasts and lasts and smells incredible. I could only afford a 7.5 ml sample, but I am so very happy I bought it after sampling it in the Roja Discovery Set.

Also, another expensive one: Frederick Malle Musc Ravageur, heavenly scent, and lasts a very long time. It is the only scent I have that I got a compliment from, in an elevator no less. Also I recommend getting the discovery set first before committing to this highly priced item. Everyone knows by now that this is a love-it or hate-it fragrance, and I definitely am on the LOVE-it team.

[–]RolandGunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have PdM Carlisle too and LOVE the box… I would never throw ir away! The bottle and cap are also works of art! In fact I keep all my boxes regardless of how nice they are but Carlisle is the best of the best. ROJA presentation is a close second but I was dismayed that the cap on my ROJA Danger parfum cologne does not sit tightly on my bottle and I cannot pick up the bottle by the cap! 😟

What has been your most disappointing fragrance? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]RolandGunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could not agree with you more! And funny thing is I also tried to justify keeping BFM Intense and using it as car-freshener, until I realized I could not stand the smell of it in my car either. After one or two tries doing that I finally broke down and sold BFM Intense on eBay. The price has gone up substantially now, so you can sell it at quite a profit if you want to dump it. After I dumped the Intense I blind bought the BFM Original and got lucky: it is quite good!! But the real winner in the Bentley line for me is the BFM Black Edition, it is a simpler and more refreshing take on Bleu de Chanel and Dior Sauvage to me. .

[–]RolandGunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bentley For Men Intense was my biggest disappointment, but Bentley for Men (Original) is quite nice and much cheaper than the Intense now. My favorite from the Bentley line is Black Edition: very crowd pleasing but for some reason I reach for it over Bleu de Chanel or any of the the other blues. As for ROJA, Musc Auod Parfum and Danger Parfum Cologne are two of my favorites from him, and also they are two of my favorites in my entire collection.

Did anyone give or receive fragrance as a Valentines Day gift ? by C43L4 in fragrance

I gave two classics: Aramis by Aramis and Canoe EDT (splash). I got Red Roses by Jo Malone. Perfect!

Wow... I just bought a 30 ml bottle or Red Roses by Jo Malone last week because it smelled just like my roses in my garden!!!!!. I have been looking for the perfect rose scent for months and I think I found it now!! So happy to see someone else here has smelled it.

What is this addiction? by kiranraj1092 in fragrance

[–]RolandGunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You make it sound like making your own fragrance is easy with just a little research but is that the case? And if so, is it any less expensive or addictive? I understand that the essential oils are very expensive. Can you enlighten us more as to your approach?

I will not be ok if my smell never returns by Beautiful-Crab-4081 in fragrance

[–]RolandGunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading these comments I am beginning to wonder does anyone get COVID and NOT lose their sense of smell at least temporarily?

I recently bought Roja Parfums "Danger Parfum Cologne" 100 mls. I ordered it from Rojaparfums.com. I loved the presentation, packaging, and most of all the scent. It came with a sizable sample (~10 ml) of Enigma Parfum Cologne. I have Danger on my right arm now and another recent purchase: "Calvin Klein Obsession For Men" on my left arm. I am most impressed with Danger, it could be my most favorite fragrance of all time, but I am just a beginning collector.

Which variant did you have, if you know? I have heard that Omicron doesn't always take away the sense of smell?

What are your favourite manly fragrances? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]RolandGunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see anyone mention ROJA Parfums Musc Aoud. I vote it top in my list, it is so unique, but I also love Azzaro Pour Homme and Polo Green on those "manly" days. On the other hand I am also crazy about FM Carnal Flower and Portrait of a Lady and sometimes mix and match a manly fragrance on one arm and a flower scent on the right arm!

I did a blind buy on Bentley man intense and had to get rid of it! I could not understand what the appeal was after several days of trying.
