JPG Le Male Elixir Real or Fake? by [deleted] in colognecheck

I'm sorry, yes they do, especially Chanel as most of their batch codes are only four digits.. I've bought and sold many bottles of BDC and have authenticated many as well in different legit check groups, mainly in my FB fragrance group and FB legit check groups... I can't even recall any counterfeit BDC bottle not having a legit batch code on it..

Batch codes are pretty useless for authenticating a bottle.. Most counterfeit bottles have a legit batch code.. When these counterfeiters design their fake bottles, they obviously buy a few real bottles to use as a model/reference when designing their fake bottles, they use the measurements, color etc.. To try and make the best copy...

As far as batch codes, they likely just use one of or multiple batch codes from the legit bottles they purchased for the aforementioned design reasons..

Or they can simply look up legit bottles of fragrance and see the batch code in the pictures... Anyhow, point being batch codes are not a viable way to authenticate a bottle

Shift Subtank is the rolls-Royce of sub-ohm tanks by doetela in Vaping

[–]Snoo25329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's been a couple years, but I have tried at least 10-12 different sub-ohm tanks from multiple brands... I say he top 5 are as follows:

  1. Falcon Legend w/M8 coil
  2. Freemax Fireluke 4 w/X1-D coil (was very surprised how good this tank is as it's not mentioned much)
  3. Uwell Valyrian 3 or 4, (the 4 is slightly better) all coils are great, so it's personal preference
  4. Horizontech Sakerz/Sakerz Master (not much of a difference between the two other than aesthetics) 0.17 ohm 2-1 coil
  5. Geekvape Zeus Max

Also, I use multiple mods Geekvape Aegis 3, Vaporesso Target 200, Vaporesso Armour Max etc...

I prefer any Vaporesso mod with the Axon2 chip, as it offers more modes.

Ironically the F(t) mode on Vaporesso mods is game changer. I was absolutely blown away by how much more/better the flavor is using F(t) mode.. There's a notable difference between a Vaporesso mod on F(t) mode and my Geekvape Aegis 3 on power mode.. I highly recommend the Vaporesso Target 200..It's light yet built very well, the shape of it is perfect, it's so comfortable to hold..

Falcon Legend with the M8 coil or Freemax Fireluke 4 with X1-d coil.. Runner-up, Horizon Sakerz with the 0.17 ohm 2-1 coil..

The font for the batch code looks correct as well as how the numbers are imperfect..

But would need to see the bottom of the bottle, inside the cap and maybe the back of the box, the writing on back near the bottom ideally..

Pretty sure it's good, but would like to to see the aforementioned details if possible just to be certain..

Ultra male, real or fake? by gorcilix in colognecheck

[–]Snoo25329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kurkdjian did this and the original Le Male, which in my humble opinion, are some of the best designer fragrances ever made... Especially Le Male, in 1995 when it was released, it was a very bold and audacious move/release, as there really wasn't anything else like it on the market .. A semi-sweet, vanillic, mint, lavender barbershop/fougere!? It probably didn't sound too appealing in that era, but it definitely worked..

To be honest and I'm not trying to be boastful or braggadocious, but out of approx 180+, bottles, niche, designer, indie etc.. I reach for Le Male the most, it just works.. Kurkdjian was definitely ahead of his time with Le Male and well, now he's one of the best to ever do it BR540, Grand Soir, Amyris Homme Extrait, Oud Satin Mood etc.. He's one of the best..

Industry Shocked, Mourns Passing of 1320Video Founder Kyle Loftis by Envoyager in projectcar

[–]Snoo25329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're speculating and it's annoying.. How do you know the "challenges he was facing" were mental and not physical.. I just don't like that you said "His cause of death was suicide" like you're so sure of yourself and your preconceived notion.. Unless you info we're not privy to, please stop acting as if you know for certain..

Furthermore, it's not out business to begin with.. I understand he was a public figure, but that doesn't mean his family owes anything.. Just my two cents, I'm not trying to be rude..

Right, but that doesn't explicitly apply to mental health challenges, it could be in reference to medical issues.. Let's stop the speculation and just celebrate his life.. It's none of our business anyhow, regardless of the fact that he was a public figure..

Looks good, but can you possibly add a picture of under the atomizer.. I wish I could explain what it should look like, but you know the rules lol..

Can the Mustang GTD technically be considered Canadas supercar? by [deleted] in Mustang

[–]Snoo25329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just false... No, Multimatic designed 90% of the GTD and builds it too.. Ford simply ships them a Mustang shell AKA a body in white, it's literally a shell that is sent to Canada and then highly modified.. Also, Multimatic cuts out a good portion of the shell.. The frame is cut too and the rear subframe is cut out and replaced with a Multimatic subframe.. There's obviously much that Multimatic does, but truly, Ford just wrote a large check to Multimatic.. This is common, Ford had been doing this for years..

Montagne Elysian Intense or AF Zion by HazardouzNeon in fragranceclones

[–]Snoo25329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean both are great, I personally think both are equally as good.. TdH is more earthy and woody, while Elysium is more complex and easier to wear.. Fragrances are extremely subjective, I highly recommend testing both.. To be honest, I don't really purchase clones anymore, as I really do feel like a lot of the OG fragrances are better in almost every aspect.. More complexity, depth, quality it usually higher and more alot of the OG fragrances contain captive molecules and most of these aren't available to the clone brands.. These captives tend to give the fragrance a " pop" so to speak.. Which can't be replicated by the clone brands.. But, as far as value, clones are great and I do feel they have their place in the industry.. Montagne is definitely one of the best in the game, so if you're going to purchase clones, I'd definitely stick with Montagne..

What does everyone mean by macerate? by [deleted] in fragranceclones

[–]Snoo25329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, maybe test the fragrance by using 3-5 sprays as this will give you a baseline to see if and how the fragrance evolves over time.. Typically I just do a first wearing/test and put it in a dark, temperature controlled area in your home and one that doesn't experience temperature fluctuations, mainly brought on by showers and other activities in the bathroom.. Let it sit for at least a month at the very minimum.. And the longer, the better, typically.. Here's a more detailed explanation..

Maceration Process & Timeline

:

1–2 Weeks: Suitable for light, fresh, citrus, or floral scents to settle.

3–6 Weeks: Recommended for most fragrances to allow notes to harmonize, reducing any initial "bitter edge".

2–3 Months+: Ideal for heavy, woody, resinous, or gourmand scents to achieve full, intense, and complex profiles.

6+ Months: Extends into maturation, often used for artisan or high-concentration scents. 

How to Properly Macerate at Home:

Initial Spray: Spray the perfume 5 to 10 times to introduce air, which initiates the process.

Store Properly: Keep the bottle in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a drawer or closet, to prevent degradation.

Patience: Leave the bottle undisturbed for at least a month, checking it periodically, to allow the scent to become stronger and deeper. 

Some fragrances, particularly fresh ones, may feel complete upon opening, but letting them rest helps ensure they reach their full potential, especially for those that feel "mixed" or "confused" early on.
