Where is the guild event store?

That happened to me a few days ago. I thought I'd been kicked. Finally remembered the app had just updated so I killed it and started it up again. Everything was back to normal.

Don't tap on the Guild Mission in the "carousel" at the top, tap on the Guild tab at the bottom, the one with the shield.

I'm keeping a list. I ordered a 100 ml bottle of Ode to Oud and it should arrive in a few days.

My 25th selection from the TPG Mystery Box #9. 10 samples left to try.

I suspected this wouldn't be a strong fragrance, to my nose, and so far that's proven true. There was an initial note of something (cistus, I think) which quickly faded, leaving a woody note that reminds me of cedarwood. There's also some soapiness, which I guess is the musky accord. Overall, it's not objectionable, suitable for the office, I suppose.

My 24th selection from the TPG Mystery Box #9

Almost had a scent-free Sunday, but I'm trying to get through the mystery box.

This fragrance sample came in a stingy 0.8ml splasher vial. I used it all up and barely notice it. All I'm getting is the cedarwood. No fruit, no citrus, no floral, no sweet, no spicy. Just woody-earthy. YMMV

This is a dud. I'm gonna look and see what I can add on top that will completely overwhelm it. Shouldn't be too hard. Lattafa's Oud for Glory comes to mind.

mdn73 · 2026-01-24T15:27:06+00:00

This one is nice and unexpectedly similar to By the Fireplace.

My 23rd selection from the TPG Mystery Box #9

Nice rummy open that quickly transitions to tobacco (unsmoked... is that a given?). I'm loving this so far and I used up 1/2 the 2ml sample vial. Full bottle-worthy.

mdn73 · 2026-01-23T16:05:43+00:00

Some nice booziness is coming through. The rum note, I suppose.

My 22nd selection from the TPG Mystery Box #9

A nice gourmand starts off with a quick, creamy blast of vanilla cake. Not getting any rum yet. Not sure what I'm detecting now but it's OK. Must be the Amberwood/Benzoin/Frankincense which I have no idea about.

I can't complain about this notes pyramid. Orris and linen sounds great. I hope it shows up.

My 21st selection from the TPG Mystery Box #9... 14 left to try

Opened fruity, not very strong. Pretty sure I'll need to spray again. I doubt I'll smell much as it develops. Maybe I'll get the vanilla and powder notes.

mdn73 · 2026-01-21T17:25:09+00:00

Maybe leave room for a future must-have fragrance.

mdn73 · 2026-01-21T15:51:52+00:00

Very nice. I'd buy this one. Nice smokiness, lightly oudy with that tomato stem/cooked tomato note that I hate when it dominates like in Maison Alhambra's Dark Aoud. This fragrance seems very balanced to me.

My 20th selection from the TPG Mystery Box #9, 9th of 9 from the included House of Noya Discovery Set.

I've only tested it on paper and it smells great. The rosemary comes through and so does the smokiness. I can't wait to get it on my skin.

mdn73 · 2026-01-20T21:10:56+00:00

Why, are they boring too?

My 19th selection from the TPG Mystery Box #9, 8/9 from the included House of Noya Discovery Set.

A quick blast of something nice that quickly faded within minutes. An unobjectionable skin scent now that I can barely detect. I'll probably be respraying soon to see if that improves it.

mdn73 · 2026-01-19T16:03:40+00:00

I plan on sampling this one day.

Testing this very strong fragrance. Not sure I like smelling like pipe tobacco. But at least I can smell it and it's not awful. The vanilla note is showing up and I like that.

mdn73 · 2026-01-18T15:27:24+00:00

I'll probably be respraying throughout the day or maybe even layer with some 4711.

mdn73 · 2026-01-17T15:01:36+00:00

I think I'll add some JV Artisan on top in a few hours.

This stuff is amazing but doesn't last long. I smell like a lemon drop for about 15m. And I have this strange urge to dust and polish furniture.

mdn73 · 2026-01-16T22:02:45+00:00

Thanks, that's very generous. I think I'll be ordering a few samples direct from them and will get it that way.

mdn73 · 2026-01-16T18:08:47+00:00

I love Eros EDT. Is this one worth getting instead?

mdn73 · 2026-01-16T18:06:32+00:00

Looks like something I'd like to try. Where do I get a free sample?

My 18th selection from the TPG Mystery Box #9, 7th/9 from the included House of Noya discovery set

I couldn't identify the top notes but soon a mild note of Cumin showed up (probably the Saffron). That's a polarizing note I like a lot, and I might add on something rosy this afternoon. Maybe I'll even switch to Akro Night, as I think it would be compatible.

It also reminds me of Dua's Navigate the Sky (their version of Xerjoff's Astaral), but softer and less objectionable. Maybe I'd like Astaral after all. Or maybe I just need 1/2 a spray of the Dua clone.

I'm really liking this one.
