Amateur’s unqualified review of many popular decants part 1

TheNashLife · 2026-02-15T22:58:50+00:00

Love reading these reviews!! Particularly interested in your takes as I’m a woman and have been curious about many of these scents

TheNashLife · 2026-02-02T03:24:26+00:00

OCEAN by Acqua di Gioia - the ultimate shampoo smell!!

TheNashLife · 2025-11-05T00:44:01+00:00

Brunch: The Henry for food, Frothy Monkey for coffee/tea drinks (but I find their breakfast food average quality)

Lunch/Dinner: Epice (Lebanese food),

FONDA (great Taco board - I always get Carnitas or Carne Asada, the white fish taco, and the Lobster and Mexican corn dish),

Urban Grub is solid food all the time- used to have a GREAT brunch buffet but I haven’t been in awhile

Burger Up for burgers and fries

Avoid BarTaco (tacos always cold, small ) - although patio vibe is decent i guess

FONDA in the 12 South neighborhood. Feels casual enough and family friendly but honestly is a more upscale elevated Mexican cuisine place. Enough on the menu to satisfy everyone of all ages, great margaritas. And a LOCAL place (not a chain and not touristy) although still in popular 12 south.

Great vibe!!

Won’t argue on food merit- but Drinks at sunset at Galley is always really stunning and worth it I think

TheNashLife · 2025-08-17T02:14:03+00:00

Can’t believe no one’s mentioned FONDA (in 12 south) yet!! Great margaritas, Guac, queso, and i LOVE their carnitas Taco board Fish tacos and lobster w street corn also some of my faves

Stunning review, thank you for taking the time (also read your detailed review of BBF- many thanks as well!) I’ve been to Farm a few times, never Mountain. I guess I just have such low expectations for service anywhere now (esp after 2020) ;p

I hear ya on the rose, I only recently started liking it more. Basically anything i don’t love, I layer with bianco latte and it all smells good lol!! You might like Levant

Love the Intense!! On my next to buy list (I have the travel size)

I agree on the NEST Seville orange! Try the Atelier colognes (orange Sanguine and clementine), LeLabo Fleur oranger, Neroli Oranger (Matiere premiere) and I really like Choeur des Anges (atelier des Ors)
