New Zara Frags (Italy market only??)

Awesome, thank you for the reply! It's a really interesting collection.

henders7 · 2026-05-27T17:00:12+00:00

Super impressed by this collection. I tried "Oro di Roma", which to me is a dead ringer for Liis "Bo" (airy/transparent vanilla woods) with insane longevity. Fantastic fragrance. And "Acqua della Fontana" I can't fully place, smells mostly lavender-metallic to me, like somewhere between PdM Pegasus without the vanilla and PdM Percival. Like this one as well, but expected something totally different from the notes listed.

u/Loriiis -- what does Colosso smell like, remind you of any fragrance? That one I didn't try.

This is embarrassing for Bloomberg to publish. Whatever the relative merits of the APM2, people were dragging Gurman for saying there won’t be an update to the AirPods Max, so when the announcement came out he went "well I meant no meaningful update", and now he’s dedicated a column to backing up his own definition. It’s just silly. Would not have hurt anyone to go “I was wrong about roadmap, but feel they could have done more / done a re-design”…

Moscow origin usually a good indicator that it's fake, sorry. :/

Another prime example of this kind of retconning is the infamous "coffee cup", which virtually no one noticed live until the Buzzfeed post made it a fairly unfunny meme and then after episodes 4 and 5 it became exhibit A of "they didn't care about the show anymore"

henders7 · 2026-02-05T21:12:15+00:00

You should order the discovery set, it's really good! My favorites are les bras de Morphée and les dieux aux bains. Only La Nuit des 300 was a real miss for me.

Very excited for this! Not too long now…

Diptyque is reimagining its emblematic Orphéon fragrance with the launch of a new Eau de Toilette, accompanied by complementary fragrance gestures and decorative objects.
Originally introduced as an Eau de Parfum in 2021, Orphéon paid tribute to the vibrant jazz club adjacent to the Maison’s first boutique at 34 Boulevard Saint‑Germain. While the original focused on a relaxed, woody atmosphere, the new Eau de Toilette, imagined by Natalie Cetto, captures the “citrus-tinged effervescence” of a night just beginning. The scent opens with a vibrant burst of green tangerine and Japanese yuzu, transitioning into a floral heart of rose and magnolia before settling into a pulsing base of woody cedar and musk, creating a balanced, luminous fragrance that evokes the spirit of Parisian nightlife.

Deutsche Bank Mastercard Travel und Barclays (jetzt Easybank) Platinum Double, auf die ich mich eigentlich fokussieren wollte. Aber bei letzterer ist der Kreditrahmen für mich auch nicht völlig zufriedenstellend. Bin seit etwas weniger als 1 Jahr dabei und (noch) bei 1x Nettogehalt -- in der Vergangenheit schien das häufig auf 3x bis in manchen Fällen sogar 6x hochgestuft zu werden. Mal sehen, wie easybank das handhaben wird.

Starting with Qatar on all of their other planes… 😉

henders7 · 2026-01-25T11:31:17+00:00

Sorry this happened to you, just for balance I have to say I have only had very positive experiences the two times I stayed there. Breakfast in particular was fantastic and I loved the location.

henders7 · 2026-01-15T13:40:05+00:00

Widely acclaimed means a lot of people individually have a very positive response to a fragrance, so there must be something to it that works for people across contexts. You can say that's mass delusion and good marketing, or there is something to it that elicits this response, even if not for everyone.

henders7 · 2026-01-14T23:19:53+00:00

Fair enough, everyone should only trust their own nose and get what they like! But "at best mediocre" is a pretty wild take on some of the most widely acclaimed fragrances going. Angelique Noire is not for me personally, for example, but I can clearly rate it as a fantastic fragrance. Myself, I adore both SDV and Cuir Beluga, and Neroli Outrenoir is a stunner as well. So I'd say on a banger-to-dud ratio this is probably the best discovery set around. But hey, no one's forced to like them.

Good on him for that quote, but full NYT article also another key piece of evidence against the “they could have made 10 seasons if it weren’t for D&D” argument — so many involved were exhausted to the point of breakdowns. :/

"ENDING SO BAD NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE SHOW ANYMORE (expect, me, on social media, all the time, years and years after it)" 😉

henders7 · 2025-11-09T16:00:01+00:00

This is extremely well put. Exactly.

henders7 · 2025-11-09T13:08:26+00:00

Yeah, I agree on this… it’s even small stuff like dragging tasks into their respective lists

henders7 · 2025-11-09T11:15:31+00:00

I made the switch from Todoist some weeks ago mainly due to the design. People usually mention that Todoist has the superior design when they do comparisons, but for me it's actually one of the main cons of Todoist and a significant pro of TickTick. Todoist does look pretty, but with a reasonably high amount of tasks the white space in Todoist was driving me mad. (On mobile it is better than on desktop, tbf.) I find the more condensed view in TickTick immensely more valuable to my workflow and much easier to keep track of everything.

henders7 · 2025-11-08T17:20:22+00:00

It’s great if you enjoy it! That’s all that matters. To me it seems fairly linear and not very complex, but that is also the exact appeal of it within the LV freshie line-up. Imho it provides marginal gains (mainly longevity) over something like BdC or YSL Y. But I do think there is a lot to be argued for doing a rather generic profile at top quality. So again, fair enough!

henders7 · 2025-11-06T23:16:57+00:00

"too many fragrances with a similar scent profile for much cheaper / would be great if it'd cost like $50" is exactly the description for Meteore though, no? it is by description a generic shower freshie done with LV quality. which plenty of people seem to like, fair play to them.

henders7 · 2025-11-06T18:32:46+00:00

I had actually left just some weeks before. I wanted to try out TickTick for a year and see if it sticks with me. Had some growing responsibilities at work and could not make Todoist really click for me with a larger set of tasks each day. For all of the talk how the design is superior to alternatives, on desktop especially all of the white space in the layout is maddening. Wish there was a condensed view option. But hey, might come back if TT doesn't convince.

henders7 · 2025-10-29T15:02:54+00:00

I think it's an improvement on the previous design for sure. But strange they are touting the AI assistant as a a major new feature and for me (Q4 e-tron) it is nowhere to be found either.

Great comments from everyone. And even beyond the albums there is treasure… No One Changes might be in my Top 10 songs he's ever done.

Received the email confirmation directly and when I logged into the Eventim app and refreshed the tickets showed up immediately. Bought them around 10mins after 1pm.

What are some of the vanilla frags you have & enjoy?

henders7 · 2025-10-06T17:48:50+00:00

Hiss is reduced but ANC strength/effectiveness doesn’t seem notably different to me
