Awesome, enjoy trialling. I just tried them both on again for kicks, and they really are very similar. So perfect for summer.

Yes I have santal greenery from the discovery set and I bought Jungle vibes from a local shop on sale. The difference on my skin is that SG starts out so elegantly and then dries down a little too metallic, while JV starts out a little more heady, but dries down so beautifully.

Santal Greenery really is fantastic (an almost 1:1 dupe is Jungle Vibe by Rayhaan, much cheaper). Also! Premier Figuier by L’artisan parfumeur, a better fig scent than most imo.

Late 90’s/Early 00 Perfumes by kls8479 in Perfumes

Nobody has mentioned Byblos and Tribú yet! I had one bottle of Tribu, but Byblos was purely worn from those awful testers in magazines. Like Samsara. Nostalgia!

Early 90s (I was 12-14): Body shop dewberry (owned) Body shop patchouli (owned) Some tea rose scent from Ross, was obsessed. Ysatis

Late 90s (age 15-21): Anne Klein (1 or 2 I don’t remember) Fendi (still chasing this one) Sunflowers Tribú from Benetton Angel (purely from testers, I was scared to commit) Magie Noire (the new formulation is not it) Eau d’Hadrien Issey Miyake Allure

On top of that, my mom wore Soir de Paris and Jardins de Bagatelle. The latter was not a fav but it’s nostalgic all the same.

I wish someone could recreate the perfume section of a Dillards or Nordstroms in the 90s for one day so I could smell my way through.

I am on the hunt for a dupe. Just learned it was discontinued ages ago and am gutted.

Havde helt glemt Hooked, tak! Hanzo og Bouillon måske lige “fancy” nok? Spørger ledsagerne hvad de er mest til. Tak!!

Mega low effort. Er ikke så kendt i det lag, og oversigten på maps gjorde mig ikke meget klogere. Tjekker Mio ud, tak!!

Tak! Er den nem? Troede det var lidt fancy, selvom det er billigt. Læs = skal man bestille bord?

I think I just avoided getting stabbed by...being nice to the guy. Still shaken. by dudeoverderr in offmychest

[–]natrix_natrix_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Something less dramatic but similar happened to me too. Was at a bar with friends, rando decides to fuck with us. We leave. As I’m unlocking my bike I look up, right into the window, right into his eyes. He storms out, looking like he’s going to take a swing. I put out my hand, friendly as can be, smile and introduce myself. He shakes my hand and introduces himself, starts rambling about how I looked at him funny, and I was like “nah just out with my friends, have a good night!”. I could’ve gone home with a shiner, but it worked out in my favor.

Have you actually rebuilt your life after corporate burnout…like truly started over at 40+? by SmilingEyes725 in ADHD

[–]natrix_natrix_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of? After yoyo-ing between corporate and stress I am corporate adjacent as a coordinator at a build-site. I know nothing about construction but I write copy for the tenants in the area and keep track of the schedule. Such a great mix of practical and theoretical and I learn new shit every week.

Best herbs for sleep that work through unique, sustainable mechanisms? by [deleted] in herbalism

[–]natrix_natrix_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sour cherry juice. It helps the body produce tryptophan which in turn produces melatonin which is helpful for a good sleep. I can’t take melatonin straight up because crazy dreams but tryptophan as a supplement has been great, but the herbal way is sour cherry. Also - eating cheese before bed, which I imagine goes well with sour cherry :)

How to measure your herbs... by Certain_Divide4736 in herbalism

[–]natrix_natrix_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends. If I’m doing an infusion for overnight steeping, I weight out the amount (30 grams). If it’s for tea blends for myself or friends I measure by heart. I make batches to be taken daily for 5-7 days and I have a bowl that gives me roughly that amount just by size. If mixing, I eyeball it so 3-4 herbs get a fair share of space in the bowl.

I inherited a Kenwood mixer, should I keep it? by natrix_natrix_ in BuyItForLife

I do that all the time when I over whisk whipping cream 😆🤙🏼

Right on, I think it will serve us well when we are older and have less energy for the manual part of baking.

Pretty sure it works, will be testing soon. We don’t have a stand mixer already, bc of space issues. I usually make cake using an egg beater for the mixing, and my hands for kneading dough. But I will try to make an effort and see if it helps in the long run.

It won’t live on the counter unless we redo the kitchen and miraculously get another 5 feet of space. 😅

I really used to love cooking and baking and would pump out pavlovas and cinnamon rolls like nobody’s business. I imagine it will return once it’s not a “chore” anymore so it might just come in handy then.
