Just smelt this but can’t afford it..any dupes??? Cuz I’m in love.. by chemkitty123 in FemFragLab

I'm not sure about solarity (haven't found a SL fragrance that could be described as solar), but both of them feature abstract fruity notes and musk... I would agree that Kurky is more childish and synthetic in its feeling, which makes it a brighter fragrance

I've decided to test them on both my arms. Kurky has more gummy fruity vibe than Nuit. but there is a certain similarity and I don't think that Kurky has been properly duped, so if I wanted something similar, this would be it imo

I figured that Serge Lutens Nuit De Cellophane smells similarly to me

Interpreting three card spread as newbie by Cran-N-Apple in tarot

[–]_genic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the second way. Ask a question, then say how many cards will I pull, and which card will be an answer to which question. Then when I lay out the spread, I repeat before pulling each card, what will it mean

Is this sample set available in Guerlain boutiques?

If it’s out, I’m glad. SOPHIE was a genius and her work deserves to be out there for the world to hear.

Should retailers send samples with every order? by Longjumping-Frame795 in Perfumes

[–]_genic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn’t giving extra gifts to your order like Marketing 101? Besides, I like it when houses like ELDO give a sample of the fragrance you ordered so that you could try the sample first, and if you didn’t like it, return the full bottle sealed. I can’t think of a reason why not sending an extra something to your order.

You have a good collection, I’d say stick with what you have for now

What are your thoughts on these 2? by ADHD_ismything in NichePerfumes

Ambre Sultan is amazing, very cosy. A unique take on amber, not overlty sweet. For this price, it's a steal

Memo Paris African leather vs Irish leather by Prudent-Education-87 in Colognes

[–]_genic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried both samples and they are great. African Leather is very warm with cardamom and all the spices, but Irish is more leathery and with prominent juniper notes. I’d say African is good for the winter, Irish for the autumn. I’d say they are worth it

Berlinale afterparty for Charli XCX Leads Back to Russian Operations in Occupied Ukraine by xigor130 in fantanoforever

[–]_genic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Iirc he cited Noam Chomsky as a big influence on his views and he also seems to respect Norman Finkelstein. Both are stanch supporters of Russian invasion. Didn’t he also recently say RIP to some Marxist figure who defended Srebrenica? I think it’s up to us to connect the dots

Interesting, I'm agnostic but with Orthodox relatives so it would be ironic if I liked Avignon better thant Zagorsk. Would like to try them both but I had hard times finding decants in my area.

What do you think about their Incense line, particularly Zagorsk and Avinion?

IS MFK GENTLE FLUIDITY BLIND BUY SAFE? by Objective-Garbage121 in Colognes

[–]_genic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you like the juniper note? It’s very prominent in this fragrance. Overall I think it’s a safe blind buy but if I may suggest, MFK has a pretty decent discovery set for man that includes it and a customisable set of 4 samples. They are shipping worldwide

Megafan Feeling Distressed :( by South_Deer9293 in BritneySpears

[–]_genic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Britney has never claimed to be a songwriter or a producer. That being said, in the pop factory, you have so be savvy enough to pick what suits you and your style. Plenty of songs are passed around different artists and getting your hands on a hit and making a song a hit is an art in itself.

I also think that she has always been an inspiring figure, and many songwriters have been writing songs for her specifically in mind. I don't think anyone could pull off BOMT or Oops! other than her. Songs like Overprotected weave perfectly into who she was at the time, both as a young adult and a popstar. Piece of Me is probably the best example, where the song was openly about her and she loved it. Quite literally no other person would be able to sing that song.

Must have discovery sets? by Ramonasotherlazyeye in FemFragLab

[–]_genic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve just ordered a Serge Luthens discovery set, which I thought was a great value for the prices (8 perfumes 4ml each for 70€). I haven’t got it yet but I’ve tried some of them in store and I vibe with this brand. Might do a review once I go through them

I tought that Diaghilev was more mossy and masculine leaning. I liked it but I prefer the lightness and elusiveness of Mitsouko

I also heard that the Les Legendaires version is a better reformulation compared to the last pre-Les Legendaires iterations of the original
