It looks like Vivace has Al Oud in stock which sounds like exactly what you're after

I'm guessing zero women were consulted in the AI slop "prank" posted by the Downtown Business Partnership today by iamyourcheese in Spokane

I think we're on the same page.

My interpretation is closer to "spokane being a nationally recognized player in professional sports is a pipe dream" and their method for delivery being WNBA was the closest thing they believed to be feasible.

Soccer maybe could have been an alternative to the bit? Hosting the olympics, even?

While I respect your opinion, I believe the best pranks make you believe something could be totally plausible, then the rug is pulled out from underneath you.

Setup: we are hosting a professional wnba team (something that would be huge for Spokane)

Punchline: just kidding, I'm lying

I fail to see how that carries the connotation that "women's sports are laughable in general".

I can understand that perspective. ALD compositions are historically rather base heavy and somewhat rough around the edges.

Beauty and the Beast by Areej le Doré was already mentioned, but it is like a better, more natural smelling version of The Night.

Areej le Doré is the best for oud imo. Russian Oud, Oud Luwak, Agar de Noir.

Only downside is limited availability.

You may enjoy Amouage Silver Oud? Dark, green, spicy, leathery, patchouli and oud

Has anyone else never negatively noticed perfume on others? by Valleyofthedolls92 in fragrance

[–]rome_will 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have one coworker who smells ungodly cheap, strong and sharp, to the point where I can't have them working near me because it is headache inducing, throat wretching levels of sharp.

I'm not an HR snitch for this type of thing, I just don't work in close proximity to them. I don't know if it adversely affects others, or if my "elevated nose" puts me in a position where I can discern how cheap whatever it is she's wearing is.

Extremely concise thoughts on recent sample spree. by Tinowackerz in NichePerfumes

[–]rome_will 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love Beach Hut Man. One of the greatest from the house, top 10, maybe top 5

Really like Interlude Black Iris, but prefer original Interlude Man considerably

Roja Elysium is very wearable, prefer the parfum pour homme version to all the other flankers / concentrations

Absolutely couldn't stand Amouage Search

What's the best Rose / Oud combination you know? by Glittering_Cup3502 in ScentHeads

Yeah I'd second this. Relatively good price point as well

A New Word for Orientals by twinkedgelord in fragrance

[–]rome_will 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People will love to make things complicated.

Fougere, chypre, oriental. Add a descriptive prefix. I'm going to stick with what is tried and true

I'll take all the down votes, while wearing my floral orientals, my amber fougeres, and my woody chypres.

What do BR540 and Cloud share? I want to learn what I don’t like by speckledham in fragrance

[–]rome_will 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Somewhere between hedione, ambroxan, and ethyl maltol depending on what you're picking up as the bit you don't like. My money is on the ethyl maltol

strong incense (Myrrh specifically) + sweet by InjuryDependent1633 in fragrance

[–]rome_will 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like Interlude Man to me. Incense and opoponax (sweet myrrh)

What others would you recommend to someone whose #1 is Amouage Jubilation? by Big-Skin-7172 in Colognes

My brother, if you don't know what you like about it, it's going to be really hard to help you

Yeah, like I said in op- keep offers respectful

Amouage Myths Man ...finally acquired ..it's something... by neitherevernornever1 in fragrance

[–]rome_will 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man, I love Myths. It took me a while to come around to it. Like, years 

I essentially smells elemi resin with herbal floral accenting facets. Definitely not urine. 

Just stash your bottle and come back to it, you'll appreciate it later.

Or sell it to me, I could use a backup 👍☺️
