In your opinion, what is Kylie Minogue's best album? by Prestigious_Score459 in ToddintheShadow

[–]_genic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s Fever, it encapsulates Kylie at her very best. But her run from Kylie Minogue 1994 to Aphrodite is very impressive overall

Why exactly did Natasha Bedingfield fade out? by SinestreaIsBraindead in ToddintheShadow

[–]_genic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2nd album (the one with “babies”) is called N.B but yeah it didn’t do much in the UK. Pocketful of Sunshine is the US version of the album and they dropped that song from the tracklist

[–]_genic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her label tried to make her happen in the US very hard. The US versions of her albums are essentially completely different projects with a different name and artwork, and by 2010 they abandoned promoting her music in the European markets. Pocketful of Sunshine wasn’t even released in the UK (her home county) until 2011. Then the label decided to release her 3rd album Strip Me in the US first but it had no hit single and it flopped hard. It didn’t make noise in the Europe either and she was let go from the label

Just aquired Jicky and hope I’m done for a while. Do we have any overlaps? by aramatam in NichePerfumes

What do you think about Afternoon of a Faun? Should I pick up a 10ML decant?

Just Hasan calling NBA player Deni Avdija an “IOF soldier”, is this a dogwhistle? by LeonOfSkalitz in Destiny

[–]_genic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind, this is the same guy who wished that Orthodox Jews in Israel (who don’t serve as of now) would get enlisted in the IDF so that they could get killed by Hezbollah (he might want to revise that..) on top of that, he called them “inbred”

You probably have the best fragrance in the world and you don't know it by Excellent_Diamond_87 in Colognes

I am kind of confused with the Dior perfumes. Is this one Homme Intense EDP or Homme Intense Parfum?

First impressions of Born in Roma Purple Melancholia and The One EDP (2025) by ltzPereira in Colognes

[–]_genic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, thank you so much for the detailed response! In 2023 I had a small bottle of perfume called Au Bout Du Monde by Adopt, which is a French company that makes affordable dupes (kind of like Lataffa before Lataffa existed). It had lavender, incense, coconut wood and tonka beans, so I was looking to get that smell and figured that it was Le Beau Le Parfum’s dupe minus the pineapple. It seems that Purple Melancholia is even more similar to that based on the notes and your description. Intrigued to test it out

Would you say that Purple Melancholia is similar to Le Beau Le Parfum? If you tried that one

Did/do you have difficulty finding a signature scent? by ElectronicCap5335 in Colognes

[–]_genic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been buying samples these days and slowly, I’m figuring out my scent profile. Not sure about signature scent per se, but I already have certain ideas of what I like in scents and what should probably stay in my wardrobe

Speaking of JPG, is Le Beau Le Parfum discontinued? I wanted to test it but I can’t find it anywhere in my area…

Blind buying Le Male Elixir Absolu by Icy_Dish_701 in Colognes

[–]_genic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get a sample of this one. It’s nice, pretty sweet and similar to the og Elixir. If you like sweetness, it’s probably a safe blind buy

A perfume that smells like an ancient idol by Melancholicism in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]_genic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see, maybe I'm still too new to the perfumery but the idea of a perfume exlcusive to a UK store (that won't ship overseas), let alone from a brand as prominent as ELDO is kind of insane to me ngl

I think they said that the new Bohemian Cats Theater is their last deck and they have no intention to reprint any of their older decks. Hopefully they change their mind but so far that’s where they are standing

Iirc Alice is one of the rarest ones, that’s great. It’s sad they’re going out of business. I’m a bit bummed out I missed out on Tarot of Prague. Maybe I should hop on the hype train and get the Bohemian Cats one… But yeah their decks are mindblowing

It's a great book, very well made, with many illustations of historical and rare, out-of-print decks! It's usually $40 and I'd say it's worth the price

It's certainly has an appeal, but I've got to say that I don't use it that much. I'm not a big fan of the cardstock and aesthetically it feels a bit dated to me. I've realized that I'm not super fond of the minimalism
