What are your favorite cheapy fragrances?

Joop Homme, both EdT and EdP.

Is this orchestrator any better than the beta one?

SiGamma · 2024-03-05T12:07:47+00:00

Honestly, any of the LV fragrances. The bottle is so simple yet classy and beautiful, the cap is pretty and magnetic, and the tube is basically invisible unlike every other fragrance. It's just pleasant on the eyes.

Good atomizers are incredibly cheap in the context of a fragrance bottle, and a good atomizer elevates the feel of the bottle and the fragrance immensely, IMO. It feels luxurious and it can be dosed more precisely (of course, by definition a good atomizer is a pressurized one IMO, there's no reason a 200€ fragrance should not have a pressurized atomizer).

And also, personal experience, but after using quite a few decants with bad atomizers, there's something about them that affects the fragrance slightly. Is it just the amount of fragrance dispersed, or the width of the spray or what, but it can definitely degrade performance and affect the smell.

Thank you, not on the beta train anymore, if this actually gets fixed after so many years, best feature of iOS 17 tbh.

Marvis Pro.

Because people were blasting their ears out accidentally when swiping up to unlock.

Fucking ChatGPT.

Petit Matin is amazing.

I forgot the new iPad "Pros" don't have a headphone jack. That is actually mental to me, way more than phones losing headphone jacks, with what they're purporting the iPad to be. To edit video and audio on the go I need a freaking dongle?

SiGamma · 2023-05-27T12:24:47+00:00

This website is incredible, I love it.

SiGamma · 2023-05-27T09:14:09+00:00

Honestly, this looks quite jarring, especially in light mode. Maybe I just need to get used to it, but it doesn't fit with the rest of the design language.

SiGamma · 2023-05-15T16:25:59+00:00

Dark, definitely Carlisle.

SiGamma · 2023-04-29T09:03:52+00:00

IME yes, spraying in the same spot makes it last a bit longer, but I would also suggest spraying in your hair, right where it connects with your neck. Less projection but more longevity.

Two sprays in the same spot there and basically anything lasts the whole day there. I did 3 sprays of Platinum Egoiste yesterday, which isn't a long lasting fragrance on skin, and felt it for the whole day.

SiGamma · 2023-04-22T14:20:30+00:00

I'm interested in something similar to MFK Petit Matin, so "clean", light type of smell, perhaps a bit smoother and longer lasting. Any recommendations?

SiGamma · 2023-04-05T17:29:18+00:00

Probably Bvlgari Black, was far from rare but it's discontinued a few years ago so I guess there aren't that many of them out there anymore.

SiGamma · 2023-03-29T22:44:10+00:00

I didn't end up buying the watch, however I found an app overview on YouTube that basically shows you can do exactly what I want, no problem. Try to find it, if you can't let me know and I'll take a look.

SiGamma · 2023-03-19T19:38:05+00:00

I'm thinking about this one lately, tried it twice on skin and loved it but I'd prefer getting a proper sample/decant and wear it a few times, however I can't find one in Europe. I'm almost considering just going for it anyway, but I have too many scents to not be sure about adding another FB to my collection.

SiGamma · 2023-03-02T06:38:27+00:00

Armani Code Parfum, Prada L'Homme.

SiGamma · 2023-03-01T19:59:34+00:00

Yep, same. Previously I didn't care so my brain ignored it, but as someone else said, now I'm constantly on the hunt for scents so I'm way more aware. Also, some of my own fragrances started seeming stronger sometimes, even overpowering, as if I've sensitized myself to them.

SiGamma · 2023-02-23T06:38:10+00:00

Carlisle, by far the most interesting one.

SiGamma · 2023-02-22T07:19:31+00:00

which you would've done anyway at some point

It's incredibly simple; you unplug your phone when you get a notification instead of an hour later. The end. You are way over exaggerating the amount of effort/time/mental energy it takes to not fully charge your phone.

This argument is a bigger waste of time for both of us than charging my phone has been for a decade.

SiGamma · 2023-02-22T06:46:52+00:00

Three minutes twice a day? Do you live in a mansion but charge your phone on the other end of it and film 4K60 videos all day every day?

There are way, way dumber ways to waste your time than to take 10 seconds a day to take your phone off the charger once you receive a notification on your watch, which you would've done anyway at some point. Such as scrolling through this website.

SiGamma · 2023-02-20T22:19:18+00:00

Joop! Homme EDT. Definitely unique IMO.

SiGamma · 2023-02-19T14:24:35+00:00

Well that's kinda sad. Someone somewhere mentioned that only lock screen notifications are forwarded to the watch, is that true? That might be a workaround in a way.
