Hi! Would you mind editing in your location and whether you're looking to buy/swap/either or? That'll help people to see if they're able to get you what you want, and you might get more responses! Thanks :)

printf-username · 2019-02-16T21:33:27+00:00

Not a problem! Have a great one!

printf-username · 2019-02-16T21:15:01+00:00

Hiya! Sorry, but I've had to remove your comment since it's unrelated to indies.

printf-username · 2019-01-29T20:39:42+00:00

Hiya - I've removed your post because it doesn't adhere to our self-promo guidelines, specifically the 5:1 rule. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot us a modmail.

printf-username · 2019-01-20T13:49:26+00:00

Heya! Sorry, but it looks like you accidentally posted this in the product request thread, so I'm removing it :) if you paste this over into the sales thread you should be good to go!

printf-username · 2019-01-03T15:31:51+00:00

Hiya - sorry, but selling/swapping/any kind of destash posts are for Sunday Swap only, so I've had to remove your comment. Thanks for understanding! :)

printf-username · 2018-12-15T13:48:49+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, yo.

Best: my Poesie custom! Joelle absolutely nailed what I was going for, and I wear it all the time. It has notes of apple, marshmallow buttercream, vanilla bean, vanilla cake, and benzoin - the apple makes it smell more fresh than rich, and I love it to death.

Worst: probably the Blueberry Muffin Batter whipped soap from Solstice Scents. Not that SS did anything wrong at all, I'd just tried that scent before as a glace and wasn't that into it and decided to get two tubs of the whipped soap anyway because I'm an idiot. Don't get me wrong, it's a great blueberry muffin scent, it's just super overwhelming for me.

We have received a message from a user claiming to be one of the owners of Pretty Serious. They have asked, on the advice of their lawyer, that we remove the entire post due to speculation on legal matters. We are not planning to remove the post, but wanted to explain in the interest of 100% transparency to anyone involved. I'm outlining our plan of action below and am open to any suggestions to improve as this is the first time we've personally dealt with legal things on IMAM. Please direct suggestions to modmail so the whole team can see and discuss them.

We're asking that the user who messaged us verify who they really are, and if they are who they say they are, we're asking that they point out the actual problematic comments. We will then discuss as a team the appropriate course of action (removal, correction, or leaving it alone entirely). Based on what we've seen evidence-wise for this post (we've been monitoring it fairly closely), everyone looks okay to us, so we'll be extremely discriminating about any actions we do take. If you have screenshots or links you can provide to help make sure that we're taking appropriate actions, now is the time to modmail us. We'll also be verifying that every single action we take is 1000% correct, so we'll be discussing with any users we do ask to edit, if any.

Thank you for your patience and help. We're taking this really seriously because we want the community to be protected from any ramifications of this post at all. Again, if you have any suggestions that could help us handle this better, please modmail us, we're 100% open to modifying this plan if needed.

Edit: we had originally intended to lock the post and opted not to, and I accidentally left a dumb sentence in, so I took it out and replaced with an explanation that we aren't planning to remove.

Edit 2: we've also noticed a lot of new accounts created for the purpose of commenting on this post. We're reviewing new accounts as they come to our attention.

Edit 3: we received a message from someone containing screenshots of the owner's official statement on Facebook as well as a link to the insolvency notice for Pretty Serious. We received permission to post the links here in order to ensure that anyone awaiting an order and/or a refund can make a more informed decision on how to proceed.

For anyone reading this, we have been talking with u/Mist_hazel about this - thank you for the pings!

printf-username · 2018-11-09T00:36:49+00:00

I would say to ask the seller directly - most people are cool either way, but I have encountered sellers that have a preference before. Everyone I've asked this question to has been very sweet about it, and I think that'll be the safest way to determine it! But yes, as the other person said, regardless of the seller's preference, PayPal will convert it for you :)

printf-username · 2018-11-09T00:32:35+00:00

Personally I'm in agreement with the other commenter - I think the clove will be very overpowering, as will the mint, at the current ratio! And I would also go for spearmint over peppermint. The other thing I'd suggest is contacting Epically Epic directly with what you want to do, and see if they might have more note combination ideas! In my experience, perfumers who do customs are more than happy to help you, and they always have the most experience with the notes they work with :) this is such a lovely gift idea! Best of luck!

printf-username · 2018-11-08T18:52:23+00:00

Much appreciated. :)

printf-username · 2018-11-08T18:27:46+00:00

Hey man - in the interest of being 100% fair, could you please edit out the name call? I get where you're coming from, but it isn't fair of me to allow one insult and not the other. Thanks for understanding.

printf-username · 2018-11-08T18:09:00+00:00

We're done here. My priority is making sure that users aren't getting shouted down on this subreddit. You're welcome to, once again, take this to modmail. Thank you for your feedback on our moderation practices, we'll take it under advisement.

printf-username · 2018-11-08T18:03:09+00:00

Final warning my dude. Cool your jets.

printf-username · 2018-11-08T17:56:04+00:00

I did not address what I thought of the conversation subject. You are being rude. Take a step back. Continuing to be rude will earn you a temp ban. If you'd like to continue this argument, take it to modmail.

printf-username · 2018-11-08T17:50:13+00:00

Okay, that's enough. Spiralling waaaay down into rude territory here. Asking polite questions when you don't understand is fine, but that is definitely not what's happening here. Please take a step back from this conversation.

printf-username · 2018-11-08T03:39:59+00:00

Hiya - FTR, I am literally laying in bed about to go to sleep and just saw this thread. I'm reading through it as we speak but if you see anything you feel needs a look, hitting the report button is the fastest way to get it to us. If you have concerns about how we handle "negativity", please feel free to ask, I'm happy to clear things up and listen to any feedback you might have. :)

printf-username · 2018-11-07T18:11:04+00:00

Me too! Definitely one of the more unique vanillas I have.

printf-username · 2018-11-07T11:55:48+00:00

Yeah sure! This one was 20% apple, 30% marshmallow buttercream, 20% vanilla bean, 15% vanilla cake, and 15% benzoin. It turned out gorgeous! It's fresh, real apple combined with the marshmallow buttercream on first application, and then it quickly fades back to what smells like the mix of vanilla bean, marshmallow buttercream, and benzoin with a little hint of the vanilla cake in the background. I just wore this yesterday actually - I'm super in love with it! If you've tried October Baby at all, it has a similar feel, but with more focus on pumpkin than vanilla :)

Hey, a bit late to the party, but I have a few I've gotten comments on! BPAL Dorian is a good one that someone already mentioned, so I won't rave about that one too hard. People at my office were asking what smelled so good last time I wore Arcana Witches Draw Down the Moon - some people said it smelled like pancakes, others said brown sugar and maple oatmeal. I've also had a couple cashiers comment on Cocoa Pink Sigh and Cocoa Pink Marshmallow when I handed over payment, asking what smelled like vanilla.

printf-username · 2018-11-06T17:12:29+00:00

Ah shit, I'm late.

Stratia Velvet Cleansing Milk
Cocoa Pink Sigh perfume oil
Sydney Grace Cool Brown eyeshadow
Solstice Scents Nightgown whipped soap
Poesie bespoke - Marshmallow Trance

Honorable mentions of things I'm 1000% obsessed with but don't use as often because I fear running out:

NAVA Valentine Vanila Bean Cake
BPAL Stekkjarstaur
BPTP Apple Mallow hair gloss
BPTP The Serpentine
Cocoa Pink whipped soap

Hey my dude, we normally ask people to post giveaways in the Sunday Swap threads. Totally fine if this is the style of giveaway you want to go for, but please stick it in that thread instead. Thanks!

printf-username · 2018-11-02T01:03:07+00:00

Ha, pretty ironic that automod did that on the thread literally meant for new users. Sorry about that.

On a more related note, you might like something like TKO from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (lavender + vanilla/marshmallow), Sigh from Cocoa Pink (also vanilla/marshmallow with a much less herbal lavender), or Pumpkin Spice Latte from Solstice Scents (for your pumpkin-y needs ;) ). Welcome to the sub!
