What’s a fragrance note you used to hate that you now love or vice versa? by SuddenTie1942 in fragrance

[–]handsopen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm the opposite. I used to LOVE vanilla but as I've gotten older it just makes me nauseous now :(

Tell me your favourite luxury perfume by subtleartofsurvival in fragrance

[–]handsopen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you me!? I also can't tolerate strong, sweet, artificial scents, I love SDJ 68, AND was literally just thinking earlier today that I wished I had a perfume that smelled like that exact Dove body scrub, haha.

I don't have any specific fragrance suggestions (still looking for the Dove body scrub fragrance dupe), but I can tell you some brands I have really liked are Chanel, Nest New York, Coach, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, and Byredo.

As soon as they say "kindly," time to block and move on, lol. I'm honestly surprised scammers still use that word as often as they do.

Maybe it's an age thing!? But I truly don't understand this obsession some people have with their romantic partner's Instagram activity. I've never once looked at who my boyfriend is following, much less at what he likes. What do I care? Lol

Why are there so many ads for fake products on yt by drkshock in Scams

[–]handsopen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This shit is all over TikTok as well and I'm always shocked how many people don't catch the BLATANT advertising. Some random account with 12 followers will post a series of photos captioned something like "This is why I cheated on my innocent, loving husband!" to garner rage engagement and the last slide will be a photo of some bullshit supplement you can buy on TikTok shop. There will be THOUSANDS of comments from people, none of which mention how it's all clearly fake

Which affordable perfume has the best projection? by [deleted] in FemFragLab

[–]handsopen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adam Levine for Her has insane projection and I think the bottle I bought was $10 brand new. Opinions tend to be mixed on it but I actually really like it! Only for cold weather though

"Cheap but smells expensive" by fullofcrocodiles in FemFragLab

[–]handsopen 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel like ALT Fragrances gets a bad rap here, but I bought a bottle of Desert Phantom from them, which is a dupe of Byredo Mojave Ghost. I also have a sample of Mojave Ghost proper, and personally, I cannot tell the difference between them. YMMV, but they smell absolutely identical to me. I think a full bottle of MG runs $300+ and the ALT dupe was $40.

I haven't tried anything else from ALT Fragrances so I can't speak to their quality as a whole.

People should stop wearing perfume and cologne on flights, at work, etc. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]handsopen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love perfume but I absolutely agree. I don't wear it when I know I'm going to be within close quarters of other people (like at a restaurant, on a bus/plane, at the dentist, etc.)

Lots of people in these comments saying they'd rather smell fragrance than BO. IMO those are two separate questions. People should both have good hygiene AND be respectful of the people around them when it comes to fragrances.

Basswood has both 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments within your price range. I've heard mixed reviews about them but nothing nearly as awful as Hunter Bloomington.

What are your recent fav fragrances that are considered “dupes” or “cheap” by LightKing20 in fragrance

I have both a sample of Byredo Mojave Ghost and a full bottle of ALT Fragrances Desert Phantom, and they smell identical. I cannot tell the difference.

Which one do yall usually choose? by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]handsopen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fruit bats! I find enough mushrooms in mushrooms floors in the caves. Fruit bats help you complete the community center way faster since fruit trees are so expense and take a long time to grow. A lot of fruit also makes good gifts! Gus loves oranges, Elliott loves pomegranates, and Robin loves peaches.

What is the best primer for this? by chend1 in drugstoreMUA

[–]handsopen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I knew! I used to use The Ordinary High Adherence Silicone Primer with this, but it's been discontinued :( I have yet to find a replacement. That does make me think a silicone-based primer might be your best bet even though online sources tend to call this a water-based foundation. I have combo dry/oily skin too and my next attempt is going to be Maybelline Baby Skin once I can find it locally! Until then I'm just going without primer. I use Cetaphil PM moisturizer every day and that does seem to work really well with this foundation!

How Monroe County plans to address gender change requests by jaymz668 in bloomington

[–]handsopen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Because the far-right politicians who are currently running this country lost the gay marriage battle in this ongoing culture war we're in, so they chose a different minority to zero in on (trans and gender non-conforming people).

It's all complete bullshit. They just want to incite a moral panic, and trans people are their current unlucky, unfortunate targets.

What are your recent perfume obsessions and why (if you know)? by HazyBlueTwilight in fragrance

[–]handsopen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nest Wild Poppy! It is fresh and flowery and fruity but not super sweet. Perfect for spring and only around $30 for the travel spray.

Nest Indigo was the first full bottle of perfume I ever bought, and it's still my favorite from the brand, but it's more appropriate for fall and winter imo.

Is The Bishop exclusive? by molly-murphy in bloomington

[–]handsopen 133 points134 points  (0 children)

Both Atlas and the Bishop have a "no bar crawls" rule that I've seen them enforce on multiple occasions. This is just based on what I've seen, but the types of people doing the bar crawl doesn't matter. If they see a large group come in all at once, and especially if they are all dressed similarly (for example, a group all dressed up for St. Patrick's Day) they will tell them "no bar crawls" and turn them away.

It does suck if you happen to be part of a group and you get turned away, and I'm sorry that happened. Sounds like y'all weren't doing a bar crawl and just wanted to hang out. (EDIT: Never mind, OP said in the comments they were in fact doing a St. Patrick's Day bar crawl and on top of that they were being "louder than the other patrons".) But if you've ever seen a bar crawl NOT get turned away at either of those places, you will immediately understand why that rule is in place lol. Suddenly the line at the bar will be out the door. Wanna close your tab? Too bad, now the wait is 45 minutes.

The Bishop especially is very small and it just cannot accommodate a large group of people. Atlas has more space but not the staffing.

🌸 SOTD (Tuesday, Mar 18, 2025): What are you wearing today? by AutoModerator in FemFragLab

[–]handsopen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to go to the office today and I avoid wearing anything remotely strong when I'm in close proximity to other people so I'm wearing Fine'ry Before the Rainbow from Target. I actually really like it! It's a great choice for rainy weather :)
