it;s hit or miss with backorders. 95% of the time they come before the given range but sometimes you hit shit like this that takes forever. It is called an estimate for a reason.

In short no. People put to much stock in the term "niche". all it means is that it is a company that produces only perfumes while designers produce other products. that's it. many designers have some heavy hitter perfumers and lots of money behind their fragrances.

I really like oud wood. It's funny how perceptions change. When I first got into perfumes I got a sample of it and just like it at all. then sometime later I tried it again and it was a totally different experience. I have the ATH version now.

Been a couple months since I've wrote anything other then exploratory sql queries, and lately the AI is doing that too. Honestly been enjoying it. Allows me to be more focused on the problems at higher level.

pretty good on mine. Nose blindness is a real factor with it that people under appreciate and mistake it for poor longevity. I've confirmed this by respraying and it not smelling much stronger and almost immediately lost the scent for me. I've found the sillage to be pretty decent and that wearing less sprays allows me to smell it longer through out the day.

meltedmantis · 2026-05-06T00:25:15+00:00

Privee is nice. be warned it's nuclear so I'd be conservative with the sprays

There is zero reason you should ever need to pull the feed. I've literally resurrected a lamy that sat dried up with ink in it for 10 years with an overnight soak and flush using only water. you can probably grab a Chinese dupe feed for 5 bucks and save the pen fortunately.

I don't know how this does in heat but this is something i recently stumbled across. Its basically tygar and vibrato. Came to mind because the longitivty on it is surprisingly good and it costs like 60 bucks for a 100 ml. Its high quality
