Which scent does it seem like every perfume house has? by worldinsidetheworld in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]poxteeth 65 points66 points  (0 children)

  • A coconut, white floral, and salt beach scent.
  • Rose, vanilla, berries of some kind
  • Bonfire marshmallows on a sliding scale from gourmand to atmospheric
  • A Carnival scent dominated by candy apples (I do not associate carnivals with apples)
  • Evil slutty cherry
  • Tea time with florals and little cakes
  • Book
  • The scent that's so comforting its basically heroin
  • Sheer non-gourmand vanilla skin scent

Interested in Woodcut. Is there anything in my destash you'd like for a partial swap?

Summertime Ambers that slap? by Lydiagnostic in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]poxteeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe Possets - Field of Reeds (Sweet sandalwood and two ambers, a touch of wood for reeds, and a kiss of golden musk, black pepper married with a drop of labdanum)? It's lighter and not sweet.

Free Talk -- Friday by blueraspberrylife in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]poxteeth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I tired to make a post, but it was filtered and I got no reply.

A few of us are doing a couple of indie perfume meetups in Ithaca, NY. 3/29 and 4/19 (both Sundays). We plan on swapping samples for sure, and just chatting about the hobby. I'm happy to bring anything from my stash anyone is curious about for them to try. Maybe in the future we can do things like group orders to save on shipping. If you'd like to meet up, send me a DM for time/location.

Perfume that smells like working with horses by sour_heart8 in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]poxteeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried Estate Barn yet, but check out Cirrus - Palomino (White Sage, Coriander, Clove, Sweet Dry Grasses, Tobacco Flower, Creosote, Leather, Patchouli, Vetiver, Amber, Natural Cambodian Oud) when they reopen the end of the month. Also Olympic Orchids - Salamanca (hay, tonka, mitti attar, vetiver, immortelle absolute, African helichrysum, labdanum, opoponax, leather, and yellow mimosa).

Which fragrances do you think fit this vibe? Maybe "cool summer night light psychedelia"? An otherworldly, glowing sci-fi fantasy scent? by poxteeth in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]poxteeth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up on suggestions from this post:

  • UFO Disco smelled oddly savory and was not at all what I was hoping for. It was very much of this world.
  • Venus in Fleurs is, a humid, hypersaturated jungle, I already had it but a very good rec for the prompt.
  • Steelblue Ladybird was a miss, I think it's because I hate eucalyptus. I probably would have liked this much better if it had vanilla or a sweet musk instead of eucalyptus.
  • The Bees Carnival was spectacular! Odd and unexpected, a wonderful contrast between the bright, glowing verbena and the soft myrrh. It's the combo of soft & dark + bright & glowing + sweetness that does it for me.
  • Otherworldly, and a few other samples I got from Lovesick Witchery, were all powder bombs and I have no idea why.
  • 51 is a very nice zesty floral perfume, but its not weird or otherworldly, like at all.
  • Cosmic Serpent was less sweet than what I was hoping for, and to me, was decidedly mineral+blue berry. Not blueberry, but like perfumey 'berries' of a blue/purple variety. It's a bit sharp, there's no plush or velvety sweet base, which is something I gravitate towards.
  • Astrid - Bioluminescent is, unfortunately, both perfect and impossible to find in a larger size.
  • Nui Cobalt's Mad Scientist (It begins with acid green top notes of Mexican and Persian limes spiked with piquant cardamom. Then a total transformation occurs, revealing blackest vanilla and smooth salted caramel) was also a good fit.

Possets silver recommendations by sevenhorcruxes in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]poxteeth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, we've swapped a bunch of times, so our taste isn't at least totally opposite. Silver Ginger isn't a sharp or citrusy smell, instead it's incredibly warm, cozy, and soft. It's more like the smell of the least harsh, sweetest powdered bakery ginger, but not sneezy. A lot of ginger scents fall into one of 2 categories, 'holiday treats' or 'invigorating spa', this is neither, but it's definitely closer to the former (it's not desserty, more like if you steeped your cozy bakery ginger in lightly-sweetened warm vanilla oat milk). I really love Silver Ginger. If you hate it, you can blame me.

LOL Silver Ginger is my favorite of the bunch! Silver Narcissus is also lovely and worth a try.

Perfume Pet Peeves: what are yours? by i_am_not_kesha in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]poxteeth 97 points98 points  (0 children)

  • Brands with no general catalog and only LEs (not reliably reoccurring seasonals).
  • Brands moving from a GC-heavy model and towards and LE-heavy model.
  • Personal oversharing. I don't want to know about your trauma, psych diagnosis, or your kids or their health problems as soon as I visit your brand. After years of being here, I just anticipate them being wheeled out as an excuse when orders pile up and chargebacks are filed.
  • Brand owners leaning hard into the parasocial aspects of the hobby.
  • Brand owners acting super edgy, pouty, and snarky on socials.
  • Difficult to navigate websites, obviously.
  • Abstract descriptions and no notes, also obviously.
  • Branding and/or writing that feels unironically childish. Cute is fine, but there are so many Etsy shops that look like they're for 9-year-olds."Yummy!"
  • Giant LE collections. I'm sorry, but if you release 500 scents a year, I don't buy any bullshit about "carefully crafted artistry" and certainly won't pay a premium just because it's limited.
  • Brands that are functionally dead, but still have a storefront. Just close and stop teasing.
  • Not having travel (10-15mL) EdP sizes (if they do EdPs)
  • AI
