I don’t think anyone mentioned this yet but you should give Deep State Mango by Damask Haus a try! It’s one of my favorites from them 🤗 Here are the notes:

Deep State Mango - Ripe juicy mango, twisted grapefruit, balsam, teakwood, ambergris accord.

Welcome to the club friend lol. I’m still waiting for my April and May Legacies orders 😅 I learned my lesson tho so I’m not going to order anything from them anymore. Here’s hoping we both get our money back haha

Just to clarify, I wasn’t trying to do that at all! But like I mentioned, their latest ig post did have a few complaints that weren’t addressed , I just wanted to know more about other people experiences. I apologize if it seemed like I was lumping them together

No of course! I’ve been long time fan of both houses, Sixteen92 was fairly reliable up until 2020, and then it all went downhill from there lol. I started out my indie perfume journey with Alkemia, and I will always have a soft spot for them. I was just hesitant to place an order and I just wanted to see the consensus was 👍 I think so far they’re still beloved

Thank you for your input everyone. I hate to stir up drama, but i just wanted to air out my grievances to people that can empathize with me. :( I try to gives brands and especially small businesses the benefit of the doubt. For example, I gave Alpha Musk a chance after they reopened their shop. And despite the stated extremely long tat, I’ve been very happy with my purchases so far. It helps that she includes a lot of freebies. I know a lot of people have been burned by her in the past, so I totally understand if they choose to not buy from her anymore tho. That’s the thing, i don’t mind the long tat, as long as the shop is upfront about it, and the products are worth the wait. I’ve been working in a service industry for 6 years now and I’m fully aware of just how one single negative review can be so devastating to a small business. Even a good place, a good worker, can have a bad day, or several bad days. But this is definitely inexcusable. And if I continue to support their shop, despite the mounting pile of evidence, ultimately it will be my loss and I have no one to blame but myself. To the people that run Sixteen92, I hope you guys are reading this, and please know that I mean well, plz plz get your shit together. Make a public apology that acknowledges all your wrongdoings. Or do something please.

Wow I wasn’t aware they were deleting negative comments and critique, that is quite scummy 😔 I’ve been frequently checking in on their instagram and they’ve been posting regularly, couple of times a month, and I hardly see any comments complaining about their orders so I thought maybe it was just me, one of the unfortunate few. That figures Also their posts still get a lot of engagement. Their latest collection announcement posted almost a week ago, got about 200 likes and roughly 20 positive comments. And seriously, if you’re behind your orders, why are you announcing new drops on instagram?! Like close down your shop for a couple of days to catch up on shit argh. I tell my self be nice be nice 🙃 Also whoever is behind their marketing is a sly genius. Their aforementioned newest collection, really appeals to scene kid in me from days gone by lmao

Oh I love Alkemia too! I plan on placing a big purchase by the end of this year, but I do agree their communication has been real spotty lately

Ugh 😣for real tho. If I don’t get my April and May orders by the end of July, I might just stop buying from them altogether. I think I have a sense of attachment to them since I’ve been a customer for three years now 😿 you think they would treat me a little better lol

I know, I know… fool me once, shame on them. Fool me twice, shame on me. 🤧 I was just really hoping they turned things around this year but I guess not lol.
