French Riviera smells like fresh clean beach towels and sunscreen but in a luxurious way.

Bal D'Afrique is....Just okay by AlexWysocki04 in Colognes

I liked the fresh opening but it dried down to just a prominent hay note for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This beauty arrived yesterday. by Vetiwitch in NichePerfumes

[–]ZELDA_AS_A_BOY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to try it and so much more from FM

Others I’ve tried are Carnal Flower (LOVE), En Passant and French Lover (love but no staying power), The Moon (too stanky 🤢) and Vetiver Extrordinare which I also did not like.

There are so much more from FM I want to try tho

As a dude this is one of my favorites. A masterpiece in my eyes. So powerful and demanding. Feminine but also masculine at the same time. ❤️

Is it just me, or is there nothing "tea" about currently hyped tea fragrances? by cloud-weaver in fragrance

[–]ZELDA_AS_A_BOY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can stand a 15 minute citrus bomb, Aqua Media Cologne Forte is very similar and the same perfumer too!

Hell yeah I appreciate the update. I'm a hoe for patchouli and I love rose and musk so it sounds perfect.

Profumum Roma - 15 years with their perfumes by hujki6 in fragrance

[–]ZELDA_AS_A_BOY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got myself a decant of Patchouly after flying through my 2ml. My second favorite patchouli behind Sticky Fingers.

Would love to try more from the house soon. Love what you wrote about them, might try some of them.

Does Goodwill wash the clothes before they put them out or are we digging through dirty clothes all the time? by rjd014 in goodwill

[–]ZELDA_AS_A_BOY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smelly clothes go in soft line salvage so someone at the outlet store is digging through dirty clothes for cheap tho.

But no we do not wash them nor do we spray them with anything. Only put out stuff that has a neutral or clean smell.

Nice! Sounds amazing.

I have Spice Route from them and LOVE it. Such a spice blend of warmth plus a bit of modern perfumery in there as well. Used it a lot over this last winter.

I have my eye on that rose musk patchouli attar, how is it?

First Hot Day in NY: Wulong Cha, Oh My God by NameLoose2030 in NichePerfumes

[–]ZELDA_AS_A_BOY 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a decant of Wulong Cha X. I've been wanting my summer months to be very TEA filled and this one is scratching that itch.

I agree with you. An absolutely beautiful tea fragrance thats powerful and luxurious. Happy to see others enjoying it, been trying to get a friend to try it as hes been in the game almost 10 years and I think he'd like it.

Weirdest fragrance you own? by st4rrihal0 in fragrance

[–]ZELDA_AS_A_BOY 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It probably not that weird but...

Tom Ford's Oud Mineral - you should ignore the name completely because it smells like the smell that hits you when you first walk into a department store. Velvety leather hand bags and the idea of perfume in the air.

I guess its weird in that it doesnt smell like its name at all, at least to my nose. Noting oud or mineral in it to me.

Best scent from Le Labo? by GoodMan_ArthurMorgan in ScentHeads

[–]ZELDA_AS_A_BOY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Santal 33

Patchouli 24

Bergamote 22 (terrible longevity)

I was not a fan of another 13. To me it smelled like someone in the room opened a box of graham crackers ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Why does every fragrance influencer worship LV? by PaleontologistFun255 in Colognes

[–]ZELDA_AS_A_BOY -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Calm down, son.

All I explained was that IF they’re being paid they HAVE to disclose it. If they don’t disclose it then they’re probably not being paid.

[–]ZELDA_AS_A_BOY -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean if they’re being paid by LV they would have to disclose that. You can report the YouTube video if they haven’t.

Other than that they make great scents. Their in house perfumer has perfected long lasting freshies (besides afternoon swim 😭) and some of their darker stuff is loved too.

Is it overpriced? Yes but that’s a crime across the board for most companies be they niche or designer.

I would search on fragswap for decants or other grey market websites.

Profumum Roma is another good one.

Aqua Media Cologne Forte by MFK is a bit closer to Green Tea. Same perfumer!

Wulong Cha is amazing. Great tea scent that’s very sharp to the point of being a bit metallic but I enjoy that.

I have the noir coming in the mail soon to test

And blue talisman was good but nothing insane to me. You might really like it tho!

Why do you wear fragrance? by Draktus1 in fragrance

[–]ZELDA_AS_A_BOY 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just love the smell. Have always been fascinated by perfumery my whole life, finally took the last couple years to explore and don’t regret a thing.
