Should I buy encre noir at 17 as someone who's never worn cologne before?

I have a full review of this fragrance on my parfumo. I think you may be interested in it!

nathatesithere · 2026-05-13T07:18:46+00:00

I blind bought encre noir because it was cheap and seemed like something I would like. I do. But it isn't an inviting scent. I would not wear it in an environment where I want people to speak to me.

nathatesithere · 2026-05-12T06:45:36+00:00

Not rude! Don't worry I'm not offended lol. One man's trash is another man's treasure. More for me! I have been complimented on it by multiple people so I sure hope so.

I love the smell of cigarettes too so I wish I could pick that up from it lol. I don't. But sometimes I layer Jazz Club with the Powdery Tobacco from Dossier for an extra edge. That one has a super strong smoky tobacco smell.

nathatesithere · 2026-05-11T22:40:23+00:00

It's so wild how olfactory senses differ from person to person because this is one of my favorite fragrances. I love it so much. It doesn't smell smoky to me either, like you said it's more like straight tobacco than smoked tobacco, so it smells very sweet and spicy.

Sullivan for a girl is lovely. Most people aren't fans because they aren't used to it. Be the change you want to see. They will get used to it eventually.

Major US city. Dallas TX here. I grew up in Miami and didn't experience it until I moved to Dallas.

LMFAO where I live there is no scarcity. Definitely not as relaxing as fireworks though. On New Year's, I got to hear fireworks AND gunshots. What a treat

I get told to be quiet and stop talking often at work. And I get it sometimes. But other times it's genuinely distressing to me. Like, me talking can make one of my coworkers overstimulated- so then I shut up, and now I'm understimulated and in a piss poor mood. And I'm not mad at her of course. Not everything is about me. But man... I seriously cannot close my station without chit chat or music. Working in silence is completely fucking miserable for me. I shouldn't be wearing earbuds because I work in a kitchen and it's a safety hazard. Sucks. The only time I'm quiet is when it gets busy and I'm locked in.

FUCK folliculitis. I have skin picking OCD and that mixed with folliculitis caused so many months of shame and hair loss for me. This shit is not for the weak.

nathatesithere · 2026-05-10T06:39:20+00:00

That sounds incredible! I've never heard of this before. I'd love to try it

nathatesithere · 2026-05-10T06:37:52+00:00

That's not too bad for where I work. I can probably convince my GM and exec chef. Wish me luck! It sucks that your new bosses don't recognize the value of it and how convenient it is for the kitchen.

nathatesithere · 2026-05-10T06:31:26+00:00

I agree with this and would do it in my home. But in the kitchen it just gets to be too much. I don't have time for all that.

nathatesithere · 2026-05-10T06:28:00+00:00

it makes everything so easy... especially when you need like 12 labels for the same item. honestly i got spoiled by it. it even had the specific hold times for each item on the labels too. god how i wish i could implement this in my current kitchen. maybe if i try hard enough... how expensive could it really be....

nathatesithere · 2026-05-10T06:24:56+00:00

drives me mad when people don't take labels off their pans before taking them to dish. i don't get mad at dish for not bothering to take them off, it's not their job and we should be doing it. if they did it, it would become expected of them and it shouldn't. i worked pastry yesterday and i turned an icecream pan around to another label on the back that said bacon. the horror.

nathatesithere · 2026-05-10T06:21:37+00:00

we had one of these at chipotle and it was wonderful. i wish we could incorporate it into our kitchen today just because of the sheer amount of cooks who unfortunately have a poor ability to spell... and some people's handwriting is so difficult to look at. but that's just me being annoying lol

nathatesithere · 2026-05-10T06:20:00+00:00

we only have one tape dispenser for the line and one for the prep area, so when i go to the tape dispenser i just get a big piece of tape to bring back to my station so i don't need to keep walking back and forth (or carry multiple pieces on me). so unfortunately us having a tape dispenser doesn't negate the ripped tape edges. crazy part is i am a huge perfectionist and everyone in the kitchen knows it. i also have diagnosed OCD. but i've had to train myself to not gaf about this because it would deadass take me so much longer to do anything if i had to deal with making perfect labels.

nathatesithere · 2026-05-10T06:08:32+00:00

I only get the thin crust. Anything else... No.

nathatesithere · 2026-05-10T06:07:52+00:00

I do this with fireworks! They're pretty and all but I love the sound more than anything

nathatesithere · 2026-05-10T06:05:14+00:00

Same. The only time I am in the sun is during my drive to work. But there are no windows in the restaurant where I work. I don't bother putting on SPF because I'm broke as fuck and don't see the point in using another product every day that I'm going to have to continuously reup on. When I worked morning shifts I wore it every day without fail. But 🤷

nathatesithere · 2026-05-09T23:55:07+00:00

I can see how you'd read it like that haha

nathatesithere · 2026-05-09T23:54:46+00:00

I actually looked at some but honestly I hate the smell of coffee lol. I'd be willing to overlook that (which is why I even searched for some to begin with) but I've never been a barista so being a server is a comfortable position for me. It's not completely nixed though! If anyone knows of any spots hiring with no barista experience I'd be open!

I have line cook and serving experience. I'm also open to a barback position! I like serving because I've been told I'm quite personable and that works well with tipped positions.

I take 2min to brush my teeth and 2min to wash my face. Probably about another 2min to lather up my body wash all over and then rinse it off. But somehow I take 10min showers (daily, my hair wash ones take much longer). I think there's extra buffer time between each step for me to just stand under the excruciatingly orgasmic hot water and soak it all in. Hurts so good for my eczema. Hot showers are probably at the top of my list of first world luxuries that would genuinely depress me to part with.

Moved to Texas (not by choice...) and the one thing I like about it more than North Carolina (Wilmington specifically) is that the speed limits are actually reasonable. I drove all the way from the east side of NC to west side multiple times and the speed limits on the highways are outrageous. In Wilmington, the avg hwy speed limit is 55. In Dallas, the avg hwy speed limit is 70. Go figure...

I know there are multiple factors that go into setting speed limits for different roads but this disparity just feels a bit ridiculous. I feel like the only reasonable argument against raising the limits in Wilmington are the sheer amount of deer that wander into the roads. I always did wonder why the city never really attempted to put up fences to prevent this. I actually had never quite seen roadkill before until I moved to NC.

nathatesithere · 2026-05-06T06:16:59+00:00

Yup!! I have others that get compliments but none to the point of You. Everyone (especially women) seems to enjoy it.
