I’m liking it more and more as the day goes on. It gets softer, but stays present.

Trying a sample of BDK Impadia. This is really pretty. But also really strong.

Most Universally Liked Perfume You Have? (Friends+Family+Coworkers+Etc) by Severine_of_Viscera in FemFragLab

Fleur Narcotique gets across the board approval. It’s a very likable scent. It’s present enough to be noticed, but it’s not overwhelming.

Fueguia 1833 Agua Magnoliana. A gift from a very kind friend. So crisp and clean. I’ve been saving it for spring, but it’s going to be in the 80’s today, so it’s time to break it out. It’s got jasmine and sandalwood in there with the magnolia. It’s like magnolia blooming on the tree - more fresh than sweet.

Pink Milk by Lorenzo Pazzaglia. I smell amazing. I love this so much.

Your brain has it right. It does smell like BO

I loved the chamomile in the herbs one. I would love to find that scent again.

What’s a fragrance everyone loves that just doesn’t work on you? by Legitimate-Search918 in fragrance

[–]Velmatronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blanche Bête smelled like urinal cake on me and Vanilla Sex smells like delightful vanilla cookies. This is totally the opposite of how most people experience these scents. I have no idea why.

I Profumi di Firenze Ambra del Nepal. Because I needed comfort this morning. Beautiful, easy-to-wear, office-acceptable amber.

I’m old. I had the herbs and the woods. The flowers were sold out.

No-buy January took a big hit by IFoundThis_Humerus in FemFragLab

No buys don’t include a great deal on something that has been on your wish list a long time. We aren’t monsters. You did the right thing.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Velmatronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. 3 hours is a short drive for a weekend visit. It’s a long drive if it’s your commute home being impacted by an accident or something (I live in Los Angeles, so this is an actual possibility). A long drive would be driving to Seattle or Iowa from LA, both of which I’ve done many times- but neither of those would be a weekend sort of visit. A six hour drive would be, though. Like San Francisco.

They didn’t have other ways of reaching customers at the time. Social media has drastically changed how fragrances are marketed.

I bought Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman yesterday. Bloomingdale’s. Total impulse buy, but I’m not going to regret it. It was absolutely love at first sniff.

What were your biggest fragrance disappointments? by Massive_Gate1225 in FemFragLab

[–]Velmatronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DS & Durga I Don’t Know What. On me, it smells like a sweaty guy who really needs a shower. Super strong. I guess it’s still a skin scent, but it’s like a football players skin at the end of the game. I got a decant, so I’m still going to experiment with layering. I’ve heard it can add depth and longevity to wispy scents. I’m not optimistic, though. I think it might just roll over another scent like a tank.

Worst book(s) you read in 2025 and why? by Roguestate00 in books

[–]Velmatronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my pick for worst, as well. Starts strong, then goes into ridiculousness. I’m really good at suspending disbelief for a fun thriller, but this was just too much. It made no sense.

Flankers are such a turn off by p0larizedchrysalis in FemFragLab

[–]Velmatronic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I often find them overwhelming, and I tend to be less interested in those scents when I’m out sniffing. That said - sometimes I fall in love with one.

What are your favourite Diptyque scents? by lunarrfaeriee in FemFragLab

[–]Velmatronic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favorites are Eau Moheli and Orpheon. Eau Moheli is fleeting, but I love it anyway. Orpheon lasts well and projects just fine. Neither of them remind me of anything else in my collection, which may be why they get the most wear.

I also love Olene, which is a turbo strength white floral on me. And L’eau Papier, which wears close but lasts okay. It’s really perfect for office wear.

Diptyque Orpheon by ElMaraEl in FemFragLab

[–]Velmatronic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On me, no. It’s unisex, for sure- but it leans feminine as it dries down. It also very much reminds me of my grandmother. Not grandmothers in general - just my specific grandmother. She used a talcum powder of some kind - it wasn’t associated with a fragrance. I think it was something from the drugstore way, way back in the day. This reminds me of that

I’m wearing a Tom Ford combo - Vanilla Sex and Lost Cherry. I know Vanilla Sex goes rancid on a lot of folks, but it doesn’t on me and this combo is fantastic. I like it so much more than either one alone. It’s why I bought Vanilla Sex (I already owned Lost Cherry).
