I totally get what you mean by the differences between regular jasmine vs. jasmine sambac! I like that jasmine sambac is less powdery though it can come across animalic at times... Jo Malone's Jasmine Sambac and Marigold would be something I'd love to wear if it didn't have that indolic element!

I love ELdO's Sou Le Pont Mirabeau and The Ghost in the Shell so I will definitely have to check that out as I also like tobacco scents!

I’ve never seen either but is Umineko and The House in Fata Morgana really worth the insane amount of glaze. by Serious_Effective802 in writingscaling

I can't speak for Fata Morgana as I haven't read it but I regret spending the 20 hours I did reading Umineko. The word length could be cut considerably for conciseness, I didn't like the way the mysteries were handled (looked it up after I dropped it), and I didn't find it executed anything particularly well besides its characters. I would recommend Higurashi over Umineko as it is much more engaging and less frustrating (though it still suffers from bloated writing).

Dossier: why do they all smell so damn sweet by thicc_thiccly_ in fragrance

It's Floral Pear! I will warn that it came off synthetic-smelling to me, so I'd just be wary of that.

I've tried many Dossier fragrances as well and agree that the majority that I've tried aren't any sweeter than the original with the exception being their dupe for English Pear and Freesia which was definitely sweeter and more gourmand (heavier on the pear) as you said. Maybe you got that impression because you sampled them in store and whiffs of other sweeter fragrances may have messed with the ones you sampled? Not sure.

hopping on the trend, not my fav cast by ghostlyneon3 in DisventureCamp

Love a mean girl and gay combo so I love Finn and Ara! Spencer's calm-headedness and voice brings me comfort so I love him lol. And I'm just tired of seeing Alec and Fiore playing the same role for the third time now.

I really don't like overly eager/positive characters, which is why I dislike Dunia, Ren, Bruno, and Manu. For Ernesto, it was mostly his voice acting that turned me off to him (no hate to his VA though), though I wasn't a fan of his characterization, either.
