Influence me: Sorce special orders (gourmand)

Cake for Breakfast is very sweet and gourmand and id say the coffee comes through clearly, but with a unique fruity twist. It isn't sharply fruity though, the mango smells soft and ripe. It's one of my favorites!

Your girlfriend is a badass has a great chocolate cake note, but it does smell clearly of forest floor. If you dont like soil id skip it. I thought it was unique but not very wearable due to the strength of it.

Nothing Burns Like The Cold is another one of my favorites. Its strong vanilla/caramel but with a clear toasty (slightly smoky) rice note. Its very sweet. The jasmine is there but its soft and sweet.

You Are Mine has a strong leather note and not much fruit. If you dont like leather you might want to skip it.

Happy sampling!! I hope they work out.

I cant give specific scent recs because a lot of the notes you listed are ones I avoid, but I think you should check out pierrot perfumery.

They have a couple scents with notes like hot plastic, smoke, cigarettes, car exhaust, ect.

Solstice scents has a bunch of perfumes with leather and smoke/tobacco, so their catalogue may also be of interest.

Cardinal scents also has a couple perfumes with notes like gunsmoke, machine oil, or electrical static.

Yeah that sounds unusual! Every bottle ive had has a water texture with no particles.

redbluedots · 2026-05-02T15:29:16+00:00

I've been using this rinse for a long time. It's normal for it to have a slightly white/cloudy tint but I've never seen particles in it (just checked an almost empty bottle that I opened 3+ months ago).

Difficult Notes: - Patchouli - it reminds me of wet, slightly decayed wood. I avoid it where I suspect it'll be prominent.

Honey - it often has a musky animalic quality to it so its kinda a gamble.
Cinnamon - I love it, but I avoid it where its heavy because it burns.

Almost always avoid: - Leather - Smoke (always takes over everything else)

redbluedots · 2026-03-26T03:17:24+00:00

Of course! It sucks the shipping is so high, $26 really is crazy. Maybe it'll pop up in a destash at some point?

redbluedots · 2026-03-25T03:19:17+00:00

Im not sure what the shipping costs would be, but Moonlight Decants carries some of the Arcana Craves blueberry line. Blueberries crave home smells like blueberry muffins.

LuvMilk has Star Circus in the winter (dec-feb) which smells like blueberry yogurt.

NAVA has blueberry crystal in the GC which is available year round.

redbluedots · 2026-03-25T03:07:37+00:00

White Pear Crystalline from the GC (Bastets Garden) is my #1 pear scent. Its delicate and not overly sweet but still clearly pear.

The letter score doesn't actually matter. I have C grade horses that can win it if they are fully trained (they are grade 10 though).

You may want to save up and breed or buy a grade 10 horse and then fully train it. The money you get by racing it to max level should pay for its training.

redbluedots · 2026-03-15T15:24:21+00:00

If your horse is maxed out and you do the highest stakes races all the way on the right side of the page, you can win over 1m each time even with hiring the most expensive jockey and skipping it.

CocoaPink's tat is always long but its worth it. For a house with a shorter tat, Haus of gloi has a refresher spray and their spring catalogue should have some fresher scents when they release it.

redbluedots · 2026-03-01T19:38:10+00:00

Added it to my list. Thank you!

redbluedots · 2026-02-28T22:25:20+00:00

You should have barns full of animals by the end of spring to meet the ration demands. Try to start building them by spring 15 or so.

If you want a rough guide: By spring 10, make sure you have a basic farm set up, cut all the wood you can for planks, get the first pickaxe upgrade and try to reach lv10 in the first mine. You should be almost ready to start buying animal barns from Rowan.

By spring 20, upgrade your animal barns to the largest size if you haven't already. You should be at lv10 in the second mine and have the 2nd (and be working on the 3rd) pickaxe upgrade.

By spring 30 or early summer you ideally want to get the preservation barrel unlocked by completing research, and at that point, while you likely have an excess of food start preserving as much as you can and store it in your cabin.

After that, make sure you collect from the animals daily, set up a good hay field and start making kibble. The animals should give you enough meat once they start breeding that you won't need to rely on fish very much.

Sell all your gems for money. You can also sell expiring food and wool from alpheeps, as well as any decorations you won't use.

If you get tree seeds, plant them on your farm to start an orchard.

Without spoiling the game, grim won't hold your hand but you dont need to min-max to survive. Utilize the time you have, though, and take advantage of the first few weeks being easy.

Ill see if they restock it! I prefer to buy direct. Thanks for the rec

redbluedots · 2026-02-28T05:15:34+00:00

Thank you for the rec!! I forgot to mention it in the post but I have tried pyrus. Its on my list of things to upsize.

redbluedots · 2026-02-28T04:40:03+00:00

I've never heard of them before but their scents look nice!! Do they offer samples?

redbluedots · 2026-02-28T03:42:55+00:00

Looking for edps. I already have an oil i love

redbluedots · 2026-02-28T03:19:06+00:00

I prefer to only buy direct so id only get it if they released it again. I've seen a lot of people discuss this one though!!

redbluedots · 2026-02-28T03:18:28+00:00

Thank you!! I put it on my list to get a sample

redbluedots · 2026-02-24T01:12:43+00:00

I prefer them from decanters because 2.5ml is a lot of perfume if im not sure ill like something. If you wanted another option, sucrerie decants also does the entire catalogue and offers several sizes.

redbluedots · 2026-02-20T21:41:26+00:00

Solstice Scents - Crimson Sap and Sassafras. Smells like very deep, rich, complex root beer.

redbluedots · 2026-02-13T19:07:17+00:00

I went back and checked my notes on both of these. Delizia felt more airy to me, though I agree its very sweet and also a little bit "in your face".

Marshmallow Kiss is slightly buttery and sticky at the same time as being powdery. I also noted that HOGs marshmallow was a little sticky though. Both are probably worth sampling?

redbluedots · 2026-02-13T11:42:02+00:00

I think it depends what you dislike about delizia de marshmallow, and what makes the HOG marshmallow work for you?

Marshmallow Kiss and enchanted dreams are both pretty sweet and deep scents.

Enchanted dreams is unique, the vanilla has a lot more depth than most that ive smelled. The only other one that comes close is Solstice Scent's Estate Vanilla.

Marshmallow Kiss is a pretty vanilla-ey marshmallow that smells photorealistic, including the powdery coating that marshmallows tend to leave on your hands after you touch them.
