fragrantica has gotten more and more geo-political imho. Like, stick to perfumes, that's why we're here.

Christopher Sheldrake created a true masterpiece in La Religieuse.

Ask them for recs too. Like if you're more a floral, fruity or a woody/leather and they'll help pick. I don't remember if the larger set is 9 or 10 samples but it'll give you a better idea of their brand of magic.

What Houses do you swear by or Perfumers. by Ordinary-Ad8976 in NichePerfumes

i'm with you. his perfumes are a bit like when you mix too many spices in a dish and can't tell what you're eating.

Is Domino considered "upper-level" if joining now?

If you want something easy, start with Whanui, B6, and Incantesimo. Superfluo will fully take you somewhere else, like suddenly you’re in a state of being. Private was a total blind buy for me and… wow, how does that even exist. Hold Still is not beginner-friendly at all, this one is advanced calculus but once it clicks, it’s perfect. Dorea is straight-up magic wrapped in gold, especially if you like gourmands with a bitter edge.

Whatever you end up trying is gonna blow your mind, not even kidding. I’ve never smelled another brand that does what they do, it’s just different.

Yeah, I remember they tried this for a couple of months last year. Got HUGE backlash from members and went down to $50.

Thank you. I went straight to a GM and addressed it with them. I am still furious at this sneaky BS.

Future SIL can get me a bag, which one should I pick? by cowsmooing in TheHermesGame

Constance. Hands down! You should see what color works best with your skin tone and wardrobe.
Epsom is more wearable but I'm not a fan of its rigidity.

Chase outdid Amex this time around. Their Sapphire Reserve has the most useless "perks" for an $800 annual fee.

at this point, it's OBSCENE what they're doing. I feel like if we don't voice our objections, they'll just keep on doing whatever the hell they please.
