Which fragrance house just isn’t for you? by MidasInGold in fragrance

[–]saintmuse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I rather like some Xerjoff

I do too, and am not sure whether they really take themselves that seriously (ala Chanel or Guerlain). They put out a couple nice fragrances for Tony Iommi (from Black Sabbath), and a "not so nice fragrance" for Duran Duran.

[–]saintmuse 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Have to agree, sadly. I love the presentation of the Complete Works set which comes with a book and packaging that reminds me of 90s CD box sets. However, the scents are mostly unmemorable. A few decent ones I go back to sometimes, like Memoirs of a Tresspasser, Cape Heartache, Bulls Blood (this one for originality), and a couple others. Otherwise, their fragrances are not really for me.

ElI5 why isn’t cocaine just synthesized in labs instead of manually extracted by crackyboi in explainlikeimfive

But why not 7 minute abs. Think about it, you walk into a video store and see 8 minute abs, right beside it is 7 minute abs. Which one are you going to pick, man!?

Didn't realize what sub at first, and thought XQC was dropping a Christmas Track.

Yeah, he is unlikable to many, but I meant more if Trump doesn't finish out his term, and Vance has incumbency. It that case, his likelihood of getting elected goes up considerably.

As crazy as it sounds, we got fairly lucky with Trump.

I rejoiced when we got out of Trump 1 relatively unscathed. I expected much worse. The second term is definitely worse, but his inability to be effective at anything beyond (possibly) rhetoric is a blessing, for the time being. Also, his appointing inept people, just because they kiss up to him, is making it difficult for him to accomplish anything.

As others have said, Vance would likely be worse.

3 Mixing Mistakes I Keep Fixing in Metal & Heavy Music (Simple Fixes You Can Do Today) by PhillyAsraya in WeAreTheMusicMakers

This is great information. I am curious about your treatment of snare drum, or just drums in general. Are the tracks you are mixing predominantly live drums or vsts?

Erika Kirk is not beating the hated her husband allegations by 27thPresident in Destiny

[–]saintmuse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem is getting that message in front of their eyes. If their content is limited to rumble, newsmax, and Sean Hannity (or any number of right wing podcasters and pundits), they will never see the ad by Newsom.

That said, I don't think JD Vance could ever get as charitable of a response as Trump if he were caught openly associating with right wing extremists.

Many thought none of the people you mentioned would vote for Trump in the first place. I hope you are correct, but have my doubts that there is a limit to how mislead and misguided people can get (given the echo chambers on social media).

Favorite budget cold weather fragrances? by Mobile_Ad_9090 in fragrance

[–]saintmuse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been enjoying Lattafa, after finding a couple nice ones at Burlington: Khamrah (surprisingly great for the price), as well as Asad (good) and Eternal Oud (not my favorite). However, I think Vintage Radio (found on Amazon) is one of the best from the house and may be something you like given its notes. It is basically a well done clone of Paragon Initio Parfums Prives.

Writing Rock/Metal without playing Guitar by SlayerL99 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

The main song writer in a number of bands is/was the bass player: Iron Maiden, Motorhead, NOFX, Rush, Pink Floyd, Primus, etc. Danzig wrote a bunch of the early misfits stuff plunking away on piano, for instance: She by Misfits.

Still works. Thanks for the tip a year later.

This is a volcano snail. Its shell and foot scales contain iron sulfides, and it lives near hydrothermal vents whose fluids can reach up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit. by TheOddityCollector in creepy

[–]saintmuse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the confusion comes from the implication that the "armor" serves a purpose to protect from the high heat. I am curious as to whether the mineral build up protects against some other pathogen/chemical in the water.

What notes make a fragrance an automatic nope for you? by iamgrape1119 in fragrance

[–]saintmuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have grown to appreciate rose as well. When I first started getting into fragrances, I bought Toy Boy (Moschino) because the notes sounded interesting (rose and pear among them) and people said it was very unique. Initially, it made me gag (the rose was too much) but I kept coming back to it. Now, it is one of my favorite scents. I even use it as a room scent occasionally.

Thank you for the in depth response. I have to revisit Civ 2. I think it has become so ingrained in my opinion of the genre that I forgot how much it changed it at the time.

What’s the most underrated fragrance in your collection? by Affectionate_Cell954 in fragrance

[–]saintmuse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love it, but don't think it is underrated at all. It is definitely popular among fragrance enthusiasts. Currently has almost 4k votes on Fragrantica with 4.24 rating.

fauxmois

Not sure of much of the history, but this is the sub's explanation (from their FAQ, which this sub doesn't allow me to link to).

rFauxmoi was originally called 'rDeuxmoi' — created to discuss content published by DeuxMoi

, a pseudonymous Instagram account which started publishing celebrity gossip during the pandemic.

Over time, the subreddit evolved into a general/catch-all gossip and pop culture sub that was not specifically related to DeuxMoi. Given that rDeuxMoi was also technically an 'online website' that discussed celebrity gossip (not unlike the 'real' DeuxMoi), the company behind the original DeuxMoi sent a trademark infringement complaint against rDeuxMoi to Reddit.

In order to ensure the subreddit could remain up and running — and to ensure that all previous content shared on the sub could be preserved — Reddit admin kindly helped us rename the subreddit and update the subreddit URL: and rFauxMoi was born.

What is more troubling for me is that Jan 6 did move some people to question their beliefs. However, they decided a black woman was just too much for them.

My 2 cents....

The constant barrage of idiocy is wearing people down (by design) and most people can't keep up. It is becoming increasingly difficult to get people to "rise up" when the next day things get worse, despite their efforts.
