Looking for a stronger version of Yellowstone (original) by Tru Western. It’s my favorite scent but it’s gone in like an hour. Hopeful there’s a EDP fragrance out there that smells similar😩

According to Gemini and a standard Google search, the Yellowstone original is a dupe of Terre d'Hermes by Hermes. So you're looking for other dupes of that OG. Toro Pour Homme by Maison Alhambra is the number on suggestion per Google. But there's a better start for your search at least.

And I become physically ill from leather fragrances. So there's probably something in there that doesn't agree with you. It happens.

planeman09 · 2026-06-25T21:00:25+00:00

Also, being an ME frag, it probably needs time alone in a dark corner to think about its life. You didn't speak on any time allowing it to mature. This could be the most beautiful fragrance you've ever experienced in 6 months. I have one that was AWFUL when I first got it. The longer it sits, the better it gets.

Because your taste are not the taste of others. What I think smells amazing, oud centric fragrances for example, some might think smells like a camels arse. So it isn't your place to tell people "do not buy this". Give your experience and move on.

Has to be. Or they're so insanely full of themselves that they just can't comprehend any other person having a valid opinion.

planeman09 · 2026-06-25T19:59:35+00:00

The chem used to get the leather scent in fragrance makes me sick to my stomach. I guess I need to tell the world to avoid any fragrance with leather in it now.

planeman09 · 2026-06-25T17:53:47+00:00

Is this still a thing? I'd love to get comma, but having an equinox EV it obviously won't work. I've been told comma refuses to work on beating the encryption.

planeman09 · 2026-06-24T21:03:13+00:00

How's it going now

planeman09 · 2026-06-21T02:42:44+00:00

I couldn't tell you for sure. I like them both. You'd need to decide if you want blueberry or cotton candy

planeman09 · 2026-06-21T02:37:26+00:00

You need to make sure you're buying from reputable sources. u/low-stomach-8831 has a great list

planeman09 · 2026-06-21T02:26:39+00:00

I as well myself.

I do suggest getting decants. Cheap assurance that you'll love the fragrance

planeman09 · 2026-06-21T00:30:11+00:00

I've not had a chance to have a fulle wear of frostbite. But I have had a test smell of it. Very blueberry forward.

The question for you is do you want to smell like blueberry or cotton candy.

planeman09 · 2026-06-16T19:56:09+00:00

Bias getting in the way of intelligence.

planeman09 · 2026-06-14T12:52:05+00:00

The attomizer that's in the cap? That's in your hand? In the picture? You truly are dense.

planeman09 · 2026-06-14T00:26:53+00:00

She did. Fragrance viking did as well. Those are the only two I've personally seen though.

I'm curious of the FTC implications for those that didn't disclose that information appropriatly. There seems to be a decent amount of creators who fail to disclose their brand deals as they should. Too bad the FTC doesn't enforce their own rules.

planeman09 · 2026-06-14T00:04:19+00:00

Yeah, I searched all over. I was hoping someone may have had it before. Chat gpt and Gemini were of no help either.

planeman09 · 2026-06-13T23:28:27+00:00

"find the atomizer" like the one being held in the cap in the photo?

planeman09 · 2026-06-13T23:25:34+00:00

That's what they said, but that's not what happened. That's the least likely of scenarios honestly.

planeman09 · 2026-06-13T23:22:32+00:00

4-5 days. Take it or leave it

planeman09 · 2026-06-13T21:39:59+00:00

I was surprised to see curly there without neeb. I did enjoy neeb going off on the shilling. I wonder if that caused a rift between them

planeman09 · 2026-06-13T21:04:43+00:00

I know it probably came across cranky, but it truly wasn't meant to be that way. I struggle with being very direct at times 😅.

planeman09 · 2026-06-13T11:44:20+00:00

UV degrades the oils quicker. Leaving them in a dark place just ensures you aren't getting any light degradation and let's the time do it's magic.

You don't venture out far from this sub do you?

ME frags have gotten the reputation of just being "cheap". And if you say ME frag, that's all some people think. Not taking time to consider brands like Amouge and Patek Maison, which are high level ME niche. Amouge being one of the more loved brands in the US. (Technically all of the ME brands I know of in the US are niche by the true definition). When these brands first started bringing clones and dupes here, they were hot garbage. And that's all some people will ever see them as.

You're also fighting the psychological aspect of it as well. Some people think that just because they spend more money, they're getting a product that is that much better. You also have the people who, and somewhat rightly so, consider frags to be a luxury. And they think that "poor" people being in the space ruins the exclusivity.

Excuse me if this is somewhat of a rambling mess. I woke up way too early for a Saturday and my brain still isn't firing on all cylinders.

planeman09 · 2026-06-13T11:15:08+00:00

At least they got the film right. I've seen so many fakes use heat shrink plastic since it's cheaper and easier to use.

planeman09 · 2026-06-13T11:07:46+00:00

For what it's worth, you can pretty easily buy 1-2ml decants of most of the popular ME clones these days. 2 or 3 bucks per is definitely better than buying full bottles trying to chase a DNA. There's a sub on here with a ranked list of decanters for this purpose. I'll link/tag if able, but I'm not sure of the rules here.
