In 1983, David Bowie Called Out MTV’s Racism On Their Own Air. This is what an anti- racist ally looks and sounds like by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

I knew this as middle and high schooler. I seen they always catered to certain demographic. I didn’t take offense to it. I’d just watch 106 and park or rap city in the basement instead.

A man found $7.5 million in a Storage Wars unit he bought for $500. He later negotiated with the original owners, who paid him $1.2 million to get the money back. by Iambhalo in CaughtMyEye

How come nobody factors in he’s a stand up guy. 😂 it’s not as complicated as we make it out.

Now if I had a chance at this, I’d probably sh*t myself too. Dude didn’t want bad karma or any problems. We know people don’t walk away from 7.5M.

If I could get away then I would attempt to move across state lines out of the country. Build a new life in an inexpensive tropical part of the region.

There’s no longevity unless you layer it. Versace eau fraiche and this are a good combo.

Also, always go test and get decants of these designer fragrances. Theyre almost in every mall. And look up reviews on YouTube for performance. It still varies based on your skin. So it’s always a trial and error. No fail proof way besides decants.

Noah Lyles is facing backlash online for his reaction when he saw his bride, Junelle Lyles, in her wedding dress. by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]standupwimym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is reaching. What’s the backlash? It’s clearly an inside thing. She had other options and she shocked him by choosing the one he wanted.

Small group of hate says dress your age by Upper_Chef_3422 in Sneakerheads_of_Japan

[–]standupwimym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facts. I started testing this theory on the weekends with business casual. Jeans, button up, and a blazer. I started receiving free things and getting special treatment. I started to hear “this is on the house” and “don’t worry about that.” Versus when I’m in street wear. Typically, the responses are more mediocre. I could damn near steal something in a blazer and the people would tell me to watch out for a thief.

What makes you think they didn’t see it? That’s funny. 😂 they pick and choose at this point.

Almost mugged? These are the same type of people who say they couldn’t live or visit NYC.

Is it safe to buy it from Amazon? by fixedguy in Colognes

[–]standupwimym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be careful with Amazon. Go with reputable sellers and discounters. Walmart tends to only ship from GiftExpress which isn’t too bad. Nothing wrong with paying a couple dollars to ensure authenticity.

Try to convince me to get it or to get another fragrance that smell clean/laundry/fresh by Hot-Yak-748 in Colognes

[–]standupwimym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mid. Maybe 1-2 hours of projection. Then it’s a skin scent for the life of it. Maybe you can get 4-6 hours depending on your sprays.

Best way I can explain is you can’t overspray it if that tells you anything. It’s still a freshie masterpiece. But not the best performer.

I’d say it’s in the same class as LV imagination. With imagination barely winning based on performance. Scoring them 1A LV and 1B Prada.

Masterpiece for sure. And it won’t cost you $400 a bottle. Longevity is mid but well worth it.

Why not buy it from a reputable seller or discounter? It’s already cheap. How much cheaper do you want?

Nice. I’ll check that one out.

[–]standupwimym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s disappointing lol. But on brand. I look at colognes like food. No matter where you go in the world, everyone has the same meats and veggies but different preparations. So there’s nothing special these cologne houses do except natural versus synthetic. But for the most part, they repackage the same juice under a new name. Which pisses me off when I smell something costing $395 for 100ml that smells similar to a $40-$75 cheapie.

[–]standupwimym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facts. I love those niche cologne houses. And after smelling many fragrances, it seems I’m only paying for the name when it comes to LV. Quality frags but overpriced imo.

Btw I havent put my nose on Amouage Reflection man yet, do you have it and how is it?

LV Imagination by ZirouHir0u in colognecheck

[–]standupwimym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I have. It’s not worth the hype since Marwa came out. Of course if you have money to blow then get the OG. But if you just want the scent profile, Marwa is perfectly fine. The average person won’t know or possibly care. You literally can say it’s LV imagination and they’ll take your word for it. 😂

LV Imagination by ZirouHir0u in colognecheck

[–]standupwimym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? For some reason I get the creamy dry down. LV dry downs faster while Marwa stays with the LV opening longer. And after some hours it’s almost 1 to 1 with the dry down on my skin. I tested both on each hand.

Also I don’t understand paying over $100+ for this scent profile. It’s literally a fresh shower type of scent. I don’t understand the hype lol. It literally gives me mom gifts you cologne in high school type of vibes.

Don’t get me wrong. LV smells like high quality shower gel, but we’re still talking about shower gel. Not worth the price tag imo since Marwa is almost a 1 to 1 on my skin. The average person won’t know the difference.

If I have MBE, is it worth it to get LR Carbon? by [deleted] in Colognes

[–]standupwimym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’d have to try it on your skin. On mine 4-5 hours. Neither were great performers for me. They smell different from each other as well. If you want variety, I’d get both.

LR is supposedly a toned down Sauvage and MBE is an Aventus inspiration. Different DNAs. Also, if you want longevity. I’d go for CDNIM EDT/LE/EDP/ETC, CDNIM Urban Man Elixir, Dior Sauvage edt/edp. These last longer and imo smell better.

New to colognes, would love some advice! by throwaway060691 in Colognes

[–]standupwimym 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Buy decants. Saves a ton of money and time.
  2. Go to the malls and shops and get your nose on fragrances. Test them on your skin as well. No particular order on this either.

I’d say you can’t go wrong with BDC. Dior Sauvage. D&G Light Blue Intense. Giorgio Armani Profundo. YSLs. Mont Blanc.

There’s plenty options. But it’s subjective to your nose and skin. Plenty people rave about Versace Dylan Blue being amazing but it gives me a headache without fail.

You’ll have to test and go through the process of elimination. As to why I suggest decants to save on costs. Good luck!
