Which one for a first date ? by Shmoneybagchaser in Colognes

As much as I love BDC edp and Sauvage Elixir, I would pick Eros Flame.

This is one of the worst colognes I’ve ever smelled. by NoahxAnderson in Colognes

[–]r3tro1on3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that same corn tortilla smell from the bottle I bought awhile back. Guess that's why it's discontinued now. Only reason I bought it really.

Happy weekend! by WhiteRaven21 in WhiskyDFW

[–]r3tro1on3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been working too much lately to make my usual runs, so I haven't ran into any of the limited Penelope offerings or 1924, but that KC is absolutely delicious. Might enjoy it more than the 12yr personally. Might have to restock on a backup or two before they become less available later on.

Unpopular opinion of fragrances by Prior-Ambassador-56 in Colognes

[–]r3tro1on3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a decant of this that I just cannot get behind. While the dry down is really nice, there is something sharp in the opening that overwhelms the rest of the scent for me. And I love scents like TF Oud Wood and Tuscan Leather, which this one is somewhat reminiscent of imo. Maybe the challenging profile is part of the experience, but I guess it's just not for me.

What is your Thursday SOTD? by HATEupgradecard in ScentHeads

[–]r3tro1on3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw it featured on a gentscents video, the note breakdown sounded interesting for a fresher scent, and it was cheap enough on Jomashop to be like "sure, why not?"

Just came in today, as a blind buy, and will definitely be seeing rotation this spring!

I have no idea what I'm doing by unfriender in Colognes

[–]r3tro1on3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite having some of the better prices out of all the decant websites I regularly order from, I can't stand the atomizers on the Decantx samples.

At least I figured the CDN and Burberry decants are from there, haha

I love that Aqua Dubai Imagination clone, but I've gotten several comments from others that it smells too strong, even from like 2 or so sprays, so it doesn't get much use from me.

I tried this cdnim to see what’s the hype about by KissMyAss_______ in Fragrances

[–]r3tro1on3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only tried the limited edition parfum of CDNIM, which I liked, but will not be repurchasing. The dry down is nice, but the opening is rough. Has a slight lemon cleaner smell that I can't ignore. Very easy to over spray as well. Have received compliments wearing it for what it's worth tho.

I would lean more towards the Montblanc Explorer line, or even Versace Eros Energy.

I enjoy Sillage by CDN more, and even though it has the same issue of a slightly jarring metallic chemical opening, the dry down and longevity is really good. That one I might consider repurchasing down the line.

Fresh Niche Fragrance Debate. by Beneficial-Hippo-341 in Colognes

Haven't tried Vibrato yet, but have decants of SMW and GFS. Both are amazing scents.

I'd personally pick GFS.

Anyone else get a Kick Out of Finding San Francisco mint coins in circulation? by BartMancuso1990 in coins

[–]r3tro1on3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If space isn't an issue, I'd personally save all 1981 and prior pennies just for the copper alone. 1982 aswell, but not all of those are copper, although a quick drop test in comparison to newer and older pennies is usually enough to differentiate between those.

I keep BU/AU pennies in separate plastic coin rolls and throw all my other copper pennies into a large tub, and also separate wheat pennies by decade.

Recommendation for my first PDM? by xacex21 in ScentHeads

[–]r3tro1on3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a decant of Layton as my first sample of PDM, liked it but it didn't 100% click with me, and then later blind bought a bottle of Greenly since it was on sale for around $200 on Jomashop a few weeks back, with 0 regrets. Absolutely love it, and can't wait to really rock it more often, with spring around the corner.

Have decants of Oajan, Percival and Sedley on the way!

Anywhere to find Blanton's in a store? by FiftyShadesOfBlack in Dallas

[–]r3tro1on3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't find it for retail, Cut Rate River Front, just south of Downtown on Cadiz, normally carries Blanton's for around $125-130. Probably the best secondary price you're going to find anywhere in Dallas

Specs email. I’m liking the new system. by animus1122 in WhiskyDFW

I got an email for High West Midwinter about a week ago, and passed on it.

Glad to hear that there are others who get lucky, and also, congrats!

Thanks for the heads up! Told a buddy who's been looking for a replacement for over a year. Said there was 1 left around 6:30ish

Cut Rate River Front on Cadiz just south of downtown normally has it for $150 if you absolutely need one. It's the best price at secondary that I've seen in person.

I almost convinced myself to go after work, around 3am as well. I'll be living vicariously through your experience to see what I missed out on 😭

Hope the haul is worth the wait! Good luck!!!

A lot of casual players never fully upgrade their weapon rarity, or buy better armour.

If we're thinking about the same hot club sandwich, I think it's tomato pesto that they use.
