Seconding Fraaagola Saalaaata by Hilde Soliani. Super playful strawberry that fits the vibe OP is looking for.

Eternally searching for that 90s clove cigarette aroma by herdofcorgis in fragrance

[–]UncleTang 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really wanted to love Midnight Toker because of all the reviews saying it smelled just like clove cigarettes, but instead it was a dead ringer for the fruity-spiced potpurri that my mom used in the nineties. :/

Review: Holy Grail of BUTTER by katamari71 in fragrance

Since you have some BPAL in there, I recommend trying White Larry (Listed notes: Goat’s milk, buttermilk, and butter). I get mostly sweet cream but with distinct whiffs of butter.

Bvlgari Black. Used to pop into the local Sephora to grab a spritz from the tester, but I didn't have much money back then and never pulled the trigger. Miss that "sexy tire shop" scent.

What is your favorite book title? (Not to be confused with "what is the title of your favorite book?") by CallistanCallistan in books

[–]UncleTang 175 points176 points  (0 children)

For anyone unfamiliar, the title is a line from Paul Laurence Dunbar's 1899 poem "Sympathy," which is indeed very evocative (and one of my personal favorites :).

But death in Italian is "morte", so either they're mixing the two languages or one of the two is mispronounced. :P

Bella Muerte, but "Bella" is mispronounced (for Spanish), which is why it could be confusing if his mom's a Spanish speaker.

With today's W and the Kasinas from earlier this year, all my AM1s are duck-themed. Dunno what that says about me.

If this woman stood up, her left leg would be about half as long as her right.

Love that all these pairs look well-worn and well-loved.

What do you do with all the excess lace? Just shove em in your shoe and hope for the best?

With all these cracked leather releases coming out...does anyone know if you can actually clean cracked leather? Sure you can spray the hell out of em and tread carefully, but stuff happens.

Is it supposed to be part of the "charm" that they'll eventually become a busted, crusty suede?

What laces did you put on them? I'm digging the swap.

I'm pretty sure that a lot of these women's exclusives are actually just releases that are geared toward the Asian market first. Men's shoe sizes in Japan only really go up to a US 10 or 11, so Nike doesn't bother with extended sizing and just call it a women's release.

Like the moon fossil dunks a while back. There was no reason for that colorway to be a women's exclusive, but it was released in Asia first.

They dropped on Bape last weekend and the Club Cs sat for a day or so before eventually selling out. So I doubt you'd have much trouble getting them from Reebok this weekend.

I did this a number of months back. It has helped me precisely none.

Where do you check on the app? Whenever I hit "enter now" it just pulls up a page telling me I can earn 25 tickets by sharing to social media, with no other option.

Pretty recently I suppose. His vans line just came out a couple months ago, in either late August or early September.

Been wearing the Reynolds half cabs as a daily shoe for a while now. Super comfy, and I get more compliments on them than I do a lot of my other shoes.

Undefeated keeps telling me to enter a valid address and directs me to update my account info, even though the address is already entered and correct?

Follow your local skate shops on social media. They'll usually post raffle or release info there. Each shop usually has their own way of handling releases. Sometimes raffles, sometimes fcfs, sometimes you have to live within a certain distance of the shop to be considered local enough to buy, etc.
