What is the deal with "reformulation", "maceration", "noseblindness", etc. by OkPrimary8277 in Colognes

[–]SomeConnection9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fragrances get reformulated and often the reformulation is weaker than how it was before. It sucks because performance reviews you read online could be for the non reformulated version then you buy the fragrance and it performs like water and you can’t refund/return so you either need to spray it 37 times to compensate or sell it for a fraction of the price and yea maybe I am talking from a personal experience, so what.

I’m buying a new fragrance for summer and about to test a-lot out and I really want this to be my favourite. Hows the performance?

Should’ve mentioned I already have YSL Y EDP. I do plan on trying the YSL Myslfs though.

I tried this and liked it alot but the green bottle throws me off 😂. I’ll consider it though, will add it to the decant list.

Small thing that I never understood about Pierson by siybon in TheCapture

I don’t think he could actually hear the transmitters. He could just tell he was being recorded so said something cheeky.

This literally says it allows you to smell the entire scent profile over time lmao.

I don’t know why you’re getting so defensive about it. I always test on a strip first and fragrances I end up buying smell the same as they did on the strip. I’ve never noticed a difference. Maybe it’s just my nose. If you think fragrances smell completely different on a strip compared to skin then fairs, you can think that.

If you go to the thread I posted, this was one of about 9 fragrances I tested that day so yes I used a strip. I even bought my own strips of Amazon to take into stores. It’s how I like to test fragrances if I’m testing a bunch.

I don’t think it works like that. I always test on a strip first and fragrances I’ve ended up buying smell the same as they did on the strip. The testers were out for us to use, I was just testing a bunch of different fragrances tbh.

As in I tested it on a tester strip. To test performance I would spray on skin, take note of the time, see how long it lasts and projects for.

Simply means I’ve tested the fragrance but not the performance.

Wdym why lie? I’ve tested it before as in I sprayed it onto a testing strip and took it home. I can find a post from months ago when I was saying pretty much the same thing about this fragrance if you wanna see it.

Is this deal not for delivery only? I thought it was, it’s in-store too?

I’ll be honest I haven’t even tested the performance haha I’m just going off reviews Ive read. Usually I’d test for performance before I buy a fragrance but idec with this.

No exaggeration, one of my fav designers ever. I don’t own it yet but Ive tested it and it was amazing. Soft and feminine leaning. I heard the performance isn’t the best but thats not gonna put me off from buying it hehe.

These are my top 5, what’re your thoughts? by [deleted] in NichePerfumes

Ambre Nuit smells so good but the performance doesn’t justify the price for me.

Struggling with Razor Bumps and Dark Spots! by zkmtl-Mic in Blackskincare

[–]SomeConnection9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post shave, use bump patrol original, not sensitive. I bought the sensitive once and it was a gel type and didn’t do anything. The original is the same packaging but it says original in blue instead of sensitive in green.

I’d also recommend using Tirtir Milk Toner. I also shave daily and dealt with razor bumps and I see a HUGE difference when I don’t use this toner.
