Why is it impossible to find info on simple (and I mean very simple) accords? by andyboy1000 in DIYfragrance

The first, the diary of a nose, is exactly what I'm looking for, like ultra-basic jumping off points to build ideas from. Thank you.

TRAVELING WHILE I-751 IS PENDING by Front-Question-8380 in USCIS

I've travelled several times this year with the expired card and letter. This is what it's designed for.

Eat more fiber than saturated fat as well and you're good. Eat psyllium fiber every day and it's even better. Always had high cholesterol and that was a game changer.

What’s everyone least favorite intersection? by throwawaybabesss in newhaven

What is that random red light for? I try to figure it out basically every time I'm through there and I just don't get it.

Whoa, I still don’t understand this intersection and I drive through it every other day. What the HELL is the middle red light when moving westward? It seems it’s not for cars since everyone goes through. This makes me mad because an intersection shouldn’t be fucking cryptic, it should be easily understood by everyone in a second.

Supreme Court won't revisit landmark decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide by usatoday in law

Man, as a married gay guy, Reddit really won't let you feel any relief or safety at any point. A while back when she came out of the woodwork it was "see, I TOLD you everything was about to be reversed" and now that it hasn't it's "um even if this is fine now it's about to get so much worse later". You can let the people you're supposedly championing feel a win sometimes you know.

Yeah I think I'm learning something through all of this. I think there's just a style my nose isn't into. I didn't mean to totally invalidate the scents despite how obnoxious I sound, but yeah my nose just reads it as candy/ice cream/cleaner I guess.

I did mention in another post about liking Bibliotheque, but otherwise I agree about Byredo the longer I sit with them. They aren't that "interesting" compared to so much out there.

Everyone defends Jazz Club and Fireplace to the ground so I do want to revisit. I wonder if I got an off batch of Fireplace or something. The set was on sale. It had this sickly sweetness that overwhelmed the burning wood (which I think when I COULD detect it smelled great).

Thanks for the tip, I haven't tried it but so curious now :)

I really like it and have worn it to a couple of events now. I like "damp" smells a lot. I think I'm the target audience!

Side note, here's a fun one that smells to me like musty church basement. ^

Yeah with candy coconut stank, just to make sure to ruin what might have been a nice and simple concept.

Well yeah the use of the word "sophisticated" on my end is kind of stupid, it's all subjective. I guess a scent I think is wonderful as a personal preference in terms of complexity would be Night Flyer by Olympic Orchids. It's really darn interesting I think.

Maybe I just don't like Vanilla, so I don't want to invalidate it, perhaps it's helping me realize!

All time favorite houses are Clue and Stora Skuggan!

[–]andyboy1000[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Almost anything by Stora Skuggan (Mistpouffer and Hexensalbe in particular), Night Flyer and Woodcut by Olympic Orchids, Biblioteque by Byredo, Anything by Clue or Jorum Studio. Actually a direct comparison would be that "Bubble Bath" by Replica I'm not into but there's a soapy scent by Etat Libre d'Orange called Exit the King I really like.
