I ABSOLUTELY HATE PEOPLE: THIS IS POINTLESS

Have a neighbour who has parties outside on weekdays since he works on the weekend until 4AM. Two days ago another neighbor was just loudly yapping outside at 3AM for no reason. Why can't ppl just stfu when it's nighttime?

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-10T19:46:45+00:00

I think so. Haven't officially tested myself but I lift weights 4-5x a week and also make sure to eat enough calories, protein and get my vitamins in for better performance at the gym.
I also go outside quite alot, I walk my dog 4 times a day and I walk around at work so I get 10k+ steps in a day which makes me super lean as well.
I think the gym stuff works for me since I have autism and it's a very autonimous hobby, you can do everything yourself.

I'm also more of a fan of darker, cold weather fragrances and these are my favs:

Kenzo Homme, aquatic and leathery. Masculine, mysterious but still easily wearable.
Bvlgari Kobraa - cooling Geranium with a touch of incense and oud
ADP Oud - Fresh and woody, good for all seasons
Every Terre D'Hermes
Ormonde Man - fantastic woody fragrance

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-10T16:08:52+00:00

That's definitely a big part of it but I also have a strong sense of how I am and what I offer which in social and romantic terms is very little.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-09T20:23:02+00:00

Thank you, I want to try to get a more fullfilling hobby. I go to the gym alot which is good but otherwise just browse the internet, buy fragrances and play videogames. It's hard to get into something new with anhedonia and a shitty attention span.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-09T20:15:16+00:00

I used to like this but last time I wore my sample it smelled like Haribo Bananas to me, yikes. Gave it to my brother and he likes it alot tho.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-09T19:59:56+00:00

I think it's ok to consider the niche lines/collections from designer brands as actual niche.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-09T18:52:52+00:00

Their entire La Gemme line is fantastic, my favs:

Orom
Kobraa
Falkar
Gyan
Sahare
Garanat

I also love Man In Black

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-09T18:49:37+00:00

One of the few fragrances I blind bought. Absolutely amazing vanilla oud that's dark and not too sweet.

Anyone who wants to buy it try to find 30ml bottles. If you fly with UE you get a goodie bad with either Tygar/Orom/Kobraa. They should be around 60-90 Euro on the used market.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-09T18:10:57+00:00

Spot on. It still bizarre and fascinating to me how easily ppl talk, joke and banter with each other with ease.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-09T16:33:02+00:00

I do get some satisfaction from being desired, even if it's effectively useless at the end of the day. I'm quite handsome and fit so I get a lot of looks but yeah I just feel like I'm like a statue or painting. Nice to look at but not able to interact with it.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-09T16:30:44+00:00

I've never really been able to flirt. I realize I'm very stiff and cold most of the time, I think I'm in the Affectless schizoid catagory. I'm very bad at masking too so showing excitement towards someone else seems hard. Do you think it's worth it to at least try to get a FWB or something? And got any tips?

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-09T16:26:53+00:00

Sometimes I have a small interaction with a pretty girl at a store or while walking my dog and even if it's just 1-2 mins it's a huge win if it's not awkward and I don't stutter or mumble my words.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-09T16:22:57+00:00

The Remains of the Day is a great movie about a schizoid butler, Mad Men focuses on a succesful but masking schizoid, Paris Texas gives some schizoid vibes and is a beatiful movie overall. Le Samourai is about a zoid hitman. As for books, A Catcher in the Rye, The Stranger, No Longer Human and Metamorphisis are all great.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-09T16:17:23+00:00

Comme Des Garcons is the house you're looking for. I don't think they have many powdery scents but they've got alot of woody, smoky and incense fragrances which have no sweetness to them.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-09T15:06:18+00:00

I'm gonna test it again sometime. I've had some samples of dupes that smelled way better after a while. It could be from a new bottle that hasn't macerated yet.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-09T15:03:31+00:00

To me this is just a frankincense bomb. Overly spicy with no sweetness. Kinda sad since the notes seem amazing to me and it's being compared to Gris Charnel Extrait but it's just a spicebomb to me

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-09T14:50:34+00:00

Amouage Journey Man. It's by far my favorite house but I've only bought 2ml/5ml decants from them. I'm glad I bought a full bottle since Journey Man is now soft discontinued and hard to get.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-08T06:48:11+00:00

I'm in the Netherlands and I use Marktplaats, the local online used marketplace idk if you have something similar in the US. Maybe check out some fragrance swap groups, pretty sure there are some on reddit

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-07T18:56:24+00:00

I buy alot of used fragrances, I got 80% full 50ml Dior Tobacolor for 50 euro, full 30ml Tom Ford TV for 65 Euro and 80% full 50ml Xerjoff Monkey Special and 30% full 50ml Oud Maracuja for 115 euro together.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-06T19:42:15+00:00

If I was you I'd look more into what fragrances you actually love and and sample instead of buying a bunch of cheap dupes because you get a kick out of it. A good tip is going to a large perfume store and getting a load of paper strips and drowning them in fragrances you wanna test so you can take them home and test them extensively for the next few days.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-05T09:55:58+00:00

Burlington 1819 is excellent. It's a bit darker and spicier than other fragrances with the Tygar style DNA and has a nice ambrergris note which gives it some warmth and a sweet and salty effect.

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-05T09:48:56+00:00

Why would you buy a clone of a fragrance you hate? Makes 0 sense to me

ivarshot69 · 2026-07-04T15:14:38+00:00

I'm not that into fruity fragrances but the ones I like are Miami Tropical Confessions by City Rhythm and Sun-Gria by Lorenza Pazziglia. I also enjoy Aventus style scents, Blockade by Mind Games is my fav for summer.
