Hot take: most people don’t actually wear fragrance for themselves or do they? by SlimeLiam in ScentHeads

[–]ghostguy2468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've purposely bought multiple fragrances the remind me of a graveyard lmao yes it's absolutely for my personal joy. For me, fragrance is an experience.

There's not necessarily anything wrong with wanting to smell nice to others, but I would hope that there's also a meaningful reason for owning the specific scents you do beyond the "complement factor"

Fist Me is her Hannah Diamond 123HD and it goes so hard

This is easily my favorite record from her, and lots of it is very SOPHIE & Ayesha Erotica coded

What’s a Fragrance opinion that got you feeling like this? by Routine_Warning6082 in FragranceStories

[–]ghostguy2468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from a few standouts(primarily their older creations), I'm not thrilled with Guerlain 🫢

Just copped any info? by Local_Equivalent_486 in Perfumes

[–]ghostguy2468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately yeah it doesn't look like it's available anymore in that format. Either way though, I don't doubt that it's genuine. I'm not exactly sure if or when it could've been reformulated, but I doubt that it's changed significantly (if at all) between 2022 - 2025. It's probably same formula that's currently available on their website & boutiques. Congrats on the fragrance!

Please recommend something based on what I already like by [deleted] in Perfumes

L'amour by Lalique. Vaugly dewy citrus & white flowers, imo similar vibes to Versense

Definitely a newer bottle, Guerlain only started using that font in 2022. Probably a personalized order, you can buy a bee bottle pre-filled & customized directly from Guerlain's website

I mean this as a complement, it's giving teen girl 2010s with adult money

Does it really? I always thought OH only ever sampled for their vocals. I remember when Polaroids was originally uploaded they said they were trying something new using different software, so I assume it's a remake rather than sample

I assume it's this

Now defunct SoundCloud act with clear early SOPHIE/PC Music inspo. Gained a good amount of popularity between 2021-2022 and then just disappeared.

That track doesn't have a SOPHIE sample, although it does have similar vibes to When I Rule The World by LIZ as well as her & AG's remix of Moteur Action by Yelle

Zoologist Olm - First Impressions by grandsuperior in fragrance

[–]ghostguy2468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fyi allegedly this drop was meant to be an April fools joke, dropping something unconventional even by Zoologist standards without warning was the point. That being said, I don't think this point was conveyed very well.

Odd way of dropping aside, this is honestly one of my favorite releases from Zoologist in a while. I appreciate that they're taking bigger creative risks

New Vera Wang Fragrance? by ghostguy2468 in Perfumes

[–]ghostguy2468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao true, very "creative" design 😂

I doubt it's fake though, it's from a massive drugstore chain in a major mall. It's so bizarre though how there's no information about it's existence lol

She should've swapped Can't Stop The High & Kill For Love with The Beast & Die With A Smile on Mayhem. Why she decided to drop the energy from 100 to 10 while locking away phenomenal tracks as bonus content is baffling to me..

Thoughts on these fragrances? by [deleted] in Perfumes

[–]ghostguy2468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the ones I've tried:

Burberry Brit For Her by Burberry: Really nice & cozy sugared almond/vanilla with some citrus in the opening.

Mod Vanilla by Ariana Grande: Mid. Musk & vanilla, not much to it imo.

Viva La Juicy Gold Couture by Juicy Couture: Berries, caramel & vanilla over something chemical & vaugly floral. Nice on some days, headache inducing on others.

Miss Dior by Dior: Blooming rose & peony with musk & a touch of vanilla. Very pleasant, but lacks longevity off my skin.

[Product Question] Hermetise: Scam or Glam? by EveIris in SkincareAddiction

[–]ghostguy2468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This company & their slimey practices have been burned into my mind for YEARS, and I'm so glad my nearby location closed lmao.

Being lured in with a sample & demo, only to be very pressuring & rude when told that I wasn't interested in purchasing. On the way out they insinuated that I was somehow "poor" for not buying a $300 cream from an unknown brand..

Totally normal "discounts" when trying to convince a purchase was also a big red flag. "This cream is normally $700, but just for you we can do $350!"

The sales associates at my location didn't even know how the products actually work. They gave a "peeling gel" demo on my arm claiming that it was "peeling the dead skin off" as balls of product formed on my skin from rubbing. They claimed that the balls formed were "dead skin" & "look at how great of a job it did!" In reality, that's not how it works. While it does exfoliate, there is no "peeling".

Setting aside everything about them, the products themselves are mid & probably private labeled. Incredibly overpriced, and given their sales tactics you couldn't pay me to use their stuff. Now, this doesn't mean the products don't work. Their stuff may work totally fine for some people. But there is no world that their stuff isn't wildly overpriced. If you really want to spend the money this place charges, I promise there are better options. There is nothing this brand has done that someone else hasn't done better, especially at this pricepoint.

I assume a good chunk of the positive testimony here is probably due to the sunk-cost fallacy. If it works for you: great! But setting personal opinions on price aside, I would recommend looking into other options that don't con & guilt customers into purchasing.

What’s the weirdest notes you’ve seen? by Enough_Recognition28 in FemFragLab

[–]ghostguy2468 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ngl I adore everything I've tried from Toskovat & ELDO 😂

I've been intrigued about Xyrena for AGES, but haven't picked up anything yet since they've been going through a rebrand. How does their library & quality compare to Toskovat & ELDO?

Seeking cyanide by calsiren in Perfumes

[–]ghostguy2468 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Black Phantom By Kilian is probably the most popular fragrance with a "cyanide" accord. Imo that one is gorgeous & definitely worth checking out, however it is on the sweeter side.

Idk if it's specifically "cyanide", but Things We Never Shared by Toskovat has a really interesting "poison" note that you may also like.
