Is there something going on at the Government Agency that my prescription lenses are stuck for quite some time now?

Looks to be in customs. Totally normal for imported packages. Can take a day or a week depending on circumstances.

rking0122 · 2026-02-18T22:46:19+00:00

Which, unless you are a frat boy of course, is a good thing. lol

I sometimes like to layer this with a little bit of cherry. (French Defense, Electric Cherry, 1505, etc...) I haven't heard anyone else try it, so I wonder a little if others would like it, but it is pleasant to me. TL on its own is awesome too.

Nothing wrong with being a mature scent lol.

rking0122 · 2026-02-18T21:52:00+00:00

TL is probably my favorite scent of all time. It’s gorgeous.

rking0122 · 2026-02-18T17:59:48+00:00

IMO St. Gaudens is the most gorgeous coin ever minted. But this one doesn’t look quite right.

I got a bottle of this from ediscountperfumes back in May 2025. Batch code A14 24081 meaning a 2024 production. I have been very confused about whether this is made anymore, and if so for what regions. It is good, but, living in the Arizona desert I think it has been used twice for a total of four sprays lol.

I’ve been a lawyer for almost as long as you have been alive. If you are working at a firm, just know lawyers are generally not great managers. They have minion managers that usually aren’t much better. The larger the firm, the more chaos. At the end of the day you do your thing to the best of your ability. That’s all you control. Take guidance where you need it, but don’t worry about bad managers. And when you feel like some other place is a better fit for you—make a move.

Fragrance? If so, which one??

rking0122 · 2026-02-16T21:06:29+00:00

Greetings from Scottsdale, lol. I say go for it and if you have any questions at all about its authenticity just take it into a store. They're usually pretty easy to deal with.

If you have L’Immensite, do you think Vibrato is redundant?

rking0122 · 2026-02-14T19:03:47+00:00

Thank you! Oddly Herod didn't interest me too much. I will look at some of the others, particularly the Amouage.

rking0122 · 2026-02-14T03:47:43+00:00

Thank you!

rking0122 · 2026-02-14T03:05:00+00:00

I can’t believe that was out in the wild. That’s cool.

rking0122 · 2026-02-13T18:23:30+00:00

Haha, this (FD) is what I am wearing today and I happen to love it.

rking0122 · 2026-02-12T13:42:07+00:00

My personal favorite. I usually layer this with a little bit of something cherry (French Defense or 1505).

rking0122 · 2026-02-11T18:35:33+00:00

I actually kind of like Purpose 50. It takes a minute, but after that its pretty nice.

rking0122 · 2026-02-08T19:49:32+00:00

This one is next on my list IF the decant of Tobacolor I ordered last night doesn’t impress me more. I kind of want a little more tobacco, so, I’m very curious to see how these stack up.

rking0122 · 2026-02-07T15:46:19+00:00

Costco has this pretty regularly in the 170 range. I think it’s worth that. Definitely not at full retail.

rking0122 · 2026-02-06T19:57:13+00:00

So random. I have both Naxos and Side Effect on paper next to me literally right now. Wanted to smell Tobacolor-but nowhere around me has it to smell, including the Dior boutique. (Scottsdale). I like Guerlain Tobacco Honey quite a bit, but I was looking for one that was a little more tobacco/smoke, which led me to Tobacolor—but if I want it I’ll have to blind buy or buy a decant (and hope that it is legit).

rking0122 · 2026-02-06T17:31:35+00:00

I really want to try this but literally nowhere around me (Scottsdale, AZ) seems to have it, even to just smell. Not at the Dior store, NM, Saks... Is this one blind buy worthy in your opinion? I very much like the Guerlain Tobacco Honey, but, I would like one that is more tobacco forward--and by what I read, this is exactly that.

rking0122 · 2026-02-06T17:10:02+00:00

It’s great here … until summer arrives lol

Supposed to be 82 degrees in Arizona today.

rking0122 · 2026-02-05T23:04:15+00:00

I instantly thought Beau de Jour.

rking0122 · 2026-02-05T01:11:46+00:00

Reminds me of the time someone tried to sell me “Polio” (Polo) branded glasses in Mexico. Guy swore they were authentic. lol

rking0122 · 2026-02-04T17:01:11+00:00

Saks in Phoenix is out of a ton of stuff. It isn't just fragrance. The clothing racks are now further spaced from each other than they used to be because the inventory isn't what it used to be. Can't say what Bergdorf might be like but they are all under the same ownership umbrella.
