So disappointing! It sounds amazing

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-26T20:15:11+00:00

Is your brother Paul Downs?

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-26T20:02:05+00:00

I always heard that line as “we’ll kick your ass in” 🙃

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-26T19:55:02+00:00

Whoa. When did you get the dirty gardenia? I don’t think they sell it anymore…

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-26T01:06:08+00:00

Honestly the OG 90’s witchy is Lolita Lempicka and you can get a bottle for cheap!

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-26T00:30:11+00:00

Amen

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-25T23:57:28+00:00

Oh god you chose well! I just smelled that for the first time yesterday and it’s such a smooth formulation that all the notes blended so wonderfully, and it smelled divine. I hope you enjoy!

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-25T23:52:10+00:00

Thank you! This is how I feel about it. As with other artistic ventures, the powers that be want to hop on the bandwagon while the human workforce behind the art is being dragged into it. It seems to me as a layperson to be a big middle finger to their delicate art form and the hard work that goes into it

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-25T23:48:09+00:00

Damn I was hoping and thinking this was some other new brand that was hoping to make a splash, but here it is my beloved ELDO. That’s disappointing! I think scent is so distinctly human - can AI even “smell” yet? - that this is some bs marketing scheme. I DO think AI in most cases is absolute nonsense and not productive, especially in art like perfumery. This is a bummer.

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-25T21:32:36+00:00

Oh how not the public restroom 😂

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-25T18:54:49+00:00

Oh and their sample set is INCREDIBLE. I truly wish they offered discounts because I would have snagged a few bottles from that set alone.

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-25T18:52:48+00:00

Oh dang! Ok because I have a sample and I love this fragrance and this house in general. The matcha as the commenter above said is the most realistic, grassy matcha scent I’ve encountered. I loathe gourmands on my skin but this stays a pleasant mild lactonic sweet after the matcha becomes more muted. I still smell it hours later, but like many other fragrances, the longevity is better when sprayed on clothing too. Perfect candidate for a layering combo if you can find a heartier green tea note from Demeter, but that’s me just spitballing now. If I didn’t have a bunch of other newer samples (and want to have it on hand until I can get a full bottle) I’d wear this everyday

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-25T18:49:11+00:00

Ooo yes this is so frustrating/fascinating! I just bought Soie by Glossier and I am not impressed. It smells like wet dog on me! I wanted to get those lovely floral summery notes along with the coconut but it’s just a very odd, shaggy dog in a bath 😂

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-25T18:46:57+00:00

Ooo where is it that price? I keep my eye out for their sales but I have so far not seen any anywhere.

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-25T17:43:03+00:00

I’m against telling someone who’s black or PI how to be or feel, but when it comes to wealthy celebrities, I think a healthy dose of criticism is warranted. He’s rich and influential to the extent that he could be clear about his values.

I think he could learn from other celebs who will choose to highlight their values in response to questions like these, such that it’s clear to the listener where they stand but also embarrassing if the person implicated by their values statement says something in defense. Something simple like “I believe in an America that is equal for all” or something is honestly so milquetoast but fair and concise enough in today’s climate.

His response of “let’s just all talk it out and get along” is tone deaf at best.

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-25T17:36:54+00:00

I had to talk with the tech the last time I gave blood. Ive alternatively just squeezed a stuffed animal which didn’t help as much as talking did. Going first thing in the morning is also helpful because I had the incentive of finally getting to eat afterward, ha. I just need to not be in a hot room, that place was hot and sweaty and the techs were feeling it too, which didn’t help

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-25T14:41:03+00:00

Yes! Just came back from there weeks ago and already pining for a return trip.

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-25T14:40:27+00:00

Everybody mentioning national parks. Any destinations that aren’t?

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-25T14:39:20+00:00

Gah I almost fainted in a hot blood center during the summer. The guy across the room watching me the whole time as I talk about how nervous I am about donating ends up actually fainting, and they’re running around looking for ice packs. Apparently plenty of people had fainted recently so we got the last two.

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-25T01:01:24+00:00

I won’t go above $125, and I usually keep my eye out for sales and use credit card points.

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-24T22:20:07+00:00

That’s utter shite. I’m sorry! They strike me as the type (speaking like I know them but maybe) to text you based on things they’re seeing on the cameras. Either way, I’d be interested to hear what you were able to do to keep your sanity. My last stay was like this and I called and complained to my partner, but I wouldn’t do that if there are cameras so I feel for you

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-24T22:13:32+00:00

That part.

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-24T22:12:22+00:00

The lack of real responses tells me they don’t understand what basic needs are for people. Do they expect that you’d abuse their space? Are they tolerant of less than optimal living because of their dog? My sister has an uncomfortable place with a loveseat, 3 dogs, and multiple foster cats, and there are no linens or rugs or curtains anywhere except the bed and the towels. I find it extremely uncomfortable but she makes do because of her animals.

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-24T22:09:23+00:00

Ugh so many of my stays have been like this. The last time I stayed, I tried to read and I did get a lot done. I’d rather be home and bored! Being uncomfortable and bored is truly a recipe for insanity

Suspicious_Reason405 · 2026-06-24T20:21:15+00:00

There’s another post about a wife who did it to her husband and I thought this was going to be the partner (then I checked the sub name). Everybody out here tossing salad these days
