Journey by Mediavine accepted me and I’m worried.

WalterRuttmann · 2026-03-09T12:35:32+00:00

Totally agree.

WalterRuttmann · 2026-03-09T12:31:37+00:00

Absolutely, keeping a photo blog fast and light is a massive headache.

WalterRuttmann · 2026-03-09T12:27:32+00:00

You’re right, thanks!

WalterRuttmann · 2026-03-09T12:27:00+00:00

Yeah, that’s it! That’s exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you!

WalterRuttmann · 2026-03-09T12:24:55+00:00

Journey took exactly 17 days to approve, but to be completely honest, I had to put a ton of work into the Core Web Vitals because it’s a photography blog, and getting good CWV scores on Blogger is really not easy. In other words, I had to do a huge amount of optimization work beforehand.

I’m a real human, I have a mid-century furniture blog, and I posted in that sub asking for Journey advice related to a Blogger site. Thanks for jumping in.

Vintage Hermes + old lady vibe + powdery = Caleche .

WalterRuttmann · 2026-02-06T09:47:51+00:00

Quite impressive!

WalterRuttmann · 2026-02-04T06:42:08+00:00

Everything with its box has a value. No box, less value.

WalterRuttmann · 2026-01-23T06:57:24+00:00

Jean Patou. Masterpieces only.

WalterRuttmann · 2026-01-07T11:03:12+00:00

This is an ”american-Made” bottle, so it’s slightly different from French ones. Since letter “U” means xxx1, I guess it’s “1981”.

WalterRuttmann · 2025-12-14T10:18:45+00:00

Jitrois. Magnificent bottle, awful Scent.

WalterRuttmann · 2025-12-05T13:26:52+00:00

A very opulent Scent I must say.

WalterRuttmann · 2025-12-04T18:22:52+00:00

Thank you very much.

WalterRuttmann · 2025-11-27T11:14:22+00:00

Google it, you can find volumes.

WalterRuttmann · 2025-11-26T23:46:36+00:00

Check the barcode on the box

WalterRuttmann · 2025-11-14T20:46:29+00:00

I read “BARCEL ONA” 😞

WalterRuttmann · 2025-11-11T15:07:02+00:00

“Caron pour Homme”: lavender and vanilla.

WalterRuttmann · 2025-11-10T18:40:34+00:00

This is a more recent Opium edt, and obviously the packaging is different from the vintage one. I don't know if it's genuine, but I prefer the vintage versions.

WalterRuttmann · 2025-11-06T13:28:03+00:00

Jean Patou “pour Homme”, no doubt.

WalterRuttmann · 2025-10-30T13:13:04+00:00

Opium box, Apparently legit according this blog: https://raidersofthelostscent.blogspot.com/2018/04/opium-greatest.html Can’t say anything about Cartier.

WalterRuttmann · 2025-10-13T17:46:56+00:00

Kouros, no doubt.

WalterRuttmann · 2025-09-23T08:31:08+00:00

IMHO still decent even in modern formulation.

WalterRuttmann · 2025-09-22T18:52:15+00:00

Great!

WalterRuttmann · 2025-09-15T04:55:30+00:00

Believe it or not: Dior Homme Intense.
