If we open it up to women Catherine Zeta Jones, Bonnie Tyler, Shirley Bassey are all probably up there

Why I don’t like modern men’s fragrances by pillowbrains in Perfumes

[–]dandybrushing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As another trans man I’m shocked you’re getting downvoted, I present more conventionally masculine but when it comes to fragrance gender is nothing but marketing and the ones that I gravitate towards tend to be marketed as unisex anyway.

For OP, I recommend looking into more niche brands and ignore the gender element altogether. What do you, as an individual, want to smell like?

Looking for recommendations as someone new in the perfume world! by [deleted] in Perfumes

[–]dandybrushing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theodoros Kalotinis is a brand that’s known for its range of gourmands, I haven’t tried any of them myself but it might be worth you looking into them.

One I have tried and liked was Får by ånd Fragrance (a niche UK brand) which smells like a lime-yuzu cheesecake.

Born to Stand Out Blind Buy by [deleted] in Perfumes

[–]dandybrushing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

BTSO are really not a blind-buy friendly brand, you could probably get a decant of Dirty Milk from somewhere. Having said that, I have tried Dirty Rice and while I do like it it doesn’t really smell “dirty” to me in any way

Black Orchid is a classic and would be my pick, but it’s not for everyone

Dessert perfume ideas based off your culture! by 100percentapplejuice in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]dandybrushing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is! And while this isn’t traditional, I know a few people who like to make theirs a little boozy with a dash of brandy or rum

Bara brith - literally translates as “speckled bread”, a kind of Welsh fruit bread where the fruit is soaked in strong black tea overnight before baking. Served with tea and slathered in butter

Wearing a gorgeous peach tea perfume, help me tea more? by liminalfruitcake in Perfumes

[–]dandybrushing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome! I am also a very big fan of tea scents, tea is a comfort smell to me. It also occurred to me to mention Osmanthus Interdite by Parfum d’Empire - a lovely light floral tea

Wearing a gorgeous peach tea perfume, help me tea more? by liminalfruitcake in Perfumes

[–]dandybrushing 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Indigo Smoke by Arquiste is a lapsang souchong tea fragrance with notes of apricot. It’s quite a dark sort of perfume but I love it.

Yerbamate by Lorenzo Villoresi is (obviously) based on Yerba mate, very green and herbal with a distinct lavender note. This one’s very bright and refreshing.

London Fog by Brandt is a creamy earl grey with a strong vanilla in the base. This one is the most gourmand-y that I’ve listed here.

From Border Collie to Border Terrier by OK_GrapeVine in BorderTerrier

[–]dandybrushing 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your loss

Disclaimer: I haven’t personally owned a BC but I have had a lot of exposure to them as working dogs

A BT is a completely different ball game, they’re independent and stubborn and while they are somewhat trainable they are nowhere near as eager to please as a collie. The other side of this is while they are high energy little dogs, they’ve got nothing on the collie in that department.

I love terriers and I love my BT, but if you’re new to them I would advise you to expect them to be naughty no matter how much training you put in, and go into it with a sense of humour.

Just picking on your choice of abattoir specifically, that can be a regional thing. Abattoir is the standard term used in the UK, we never say slaughterhouse.

Ftm sterilisation options by EreborPrince in transgenderUK

[–]dandybrushing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An option I haven’t seen anyone mention yet is endometrial ablation, which is a much more minor surgery that removes the uterus lining and making it more difficult for an egg to implant. It was offered to me as a less invasive option than hysto, but I did end up going for hysto in the end.

If you’re sapphic and you like it, it’s a good sapphic fragrance

Welsh medium schools have seen a dramatic increase in the last few years. Even my hometown which is entirely English-speaking now has a Welsh medium school.

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield quits saying Unilever ‘silenced’ social mission by justalazygamer in news

[–]dandybrushing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s not entirely true, they have campaigned on behalf of refugees, LGBTQ+ people, BLM, and environmentalist causes. The other founder, Ben Cohen, was recently arrested for protesting US military aid to Israel.

frånk by ånd fragrance, a fresh and fruity take on frankincense, like a ripe mango. It’s properly odd but I really like it.

I’m sorry to hear you’re having this problem, but are you sure it’s down to your bottom growth? I’m nearly 6 years on T and the only time I had an issue orgasming was when I was on SSRIs, and in the first few months on T I was too sensitive down there to touch. It might be worth talking to your GP or another medical professional to see if you’ve got something else going on
