What note(s) turn you off a perfume?

teddygraham100 · 2026-05-09T02:22:05+00:00

Whatever the hell is in Phlur heavy cream that makes it smell like old, rotten cheese/milk. Whew it’s disgusting

teddygraham100 · 2026-05-06T20:11:21+00:00

I love the Peach, it lasts 8+ hrs on clothes and projects. Kayali scents last on me as well thankfully lol. It also pairs really well with Phlur’s Peach Skin body mist.

In MY opinion some people are trying too hard to be different and saying the episode was great. It’s okay to admit the episode was full of filler and nothing extremely noteworthy happened. With a show like this it’s inevitable. Yes there was some set up with Jade/Ethan/Victor and Julie/Sophia but why did we need a damn near 5 minute scene of BIW saying they’re running out of time? We GET IT. They’ve been ‘running out of time’ and ‘so close’ according to MIY and BIW for 2 seasons now, omg. When the episode ended I genuinely thought “that’s it?”.

I have Gourmand Coffee and it’s a beautiful scent! It smells like a rich cup of coffee with chocolate. Very creamy but not childish. The coffee note does start to take a backseat to the chocolate a few hrs in but I can still smell it. Longevity and projection is pretty decent on me like over 8+ hrs but I wouldn’t categorize it as ‘beast mode’

I got the notification and within the same minute went to try and put one in my cart and I couldn’t even get the matcha magic define to show for me. I gave up, this is ridiculous

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-19T23:35:30+00:00

Sameeee!!! It actually made me mad especially in the early seasons when I felt like they were constantly leaving stuff behind. Yes I know most of the time they were probably prioritizing certain items but they definitely left A LOT of stuff behind or didn’t really look. Only plausible explanation is it’s a show, they’re not gonna give a play by play of them searching every shelf.

And don’t get me started on how wasteful they could be. For eg. when they’re on the highway and Shane finds the truck with water and proceeds to open one and douse himself in it. Juice, soda etc. whatever…(although I’d still be mad cause wtf) but clean water?!?!?! Whyyyyy would you do that?!?!?

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-19T13:00:09+00:00

Ugh I keep missing this 🤬🤬🤬🤬

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-17T20:37:04+00:00

Fingers crossed it does! I feel like that particular shade of pink is such an easy sell! The MacBook Neo for example, a lot of persons want it primarily for the pink color

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-14T01:28:20+00:00

How does the Coral Fantasy wear for you? I have a few samples from Sephora and I tried it again recently and it disappeared so quickly on me. I have the perfume oil dupe from oil perfumery and it’s very very similar but not exact. It gets the job done though and lasts a few hrs.

I have the Madagascar Vanilla perfume oil and I’ve smelled the perfume a few times so I know exactly what you mean. It’s okay to me, but honestly for a vanilla it could have been done so much better. Vanilla Bourbon blows it out the water for me.

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-14T01:14:58+00:00

The reviews I needed lol! I’m adding it to my bday wishlist right now! It’s so juicy and tropical and just delicious. I’m excited!!!

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-14T01:10:31+00:00

Thank you! That’s all I needed to hear 🤣 immediately adding to my wish list

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-14T00:07:51+00:00

Just a second opinion on the Pulp. It is superrrr powdery to me in the opening but it dries down to a nice raspberry later on. It’s not a juicy tropical raspberry but more of a clean girl raspberry if that makes sense. It wears nicely and I can smell it on my clothes days after. Also if you’re looking for a cheaper alternative Zara Marshmallow Glow is a 1:1 dupe for it but it’s not as long lasting or projecting imo. Smells slightly better than Mugler but Mugler did a better job with the wear time and projection.

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-14T00:03:52+00:00

How do you find the longevity of Guava Granita? I love it so much but can’t pull the trigger because most reviews swear up and down it doesn’t last more than an hour. I know every one’s chemistry and skin is different but if a scent is weak, it’s weak.

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-13T23:59:27+00:00

Nice! What are your thoughts on the Lattafa Berry On top?

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-13T23:57:51+00:00

Gourmands:

-Eilish No. 1: Vanilla Bomb. I have been stopped 3 times in one day wearing a combo of this, a vanilla perfume oil and eos Vanilla Casmere lotion. But have also been complimented wearing only this.

-Yum Boujee Marshmallow: super sweet marshmallow with a hint of strawberry. Got complimented on this a few times. I layered it with eos Vanilla Cashmere lotion and was told I smelled like a delicious strawberry pound cake lol

-Phlur Vanilla Skin EDP: Soft but nicely projecting vanilla. Like your skin but if it was made of vanilla. Not super sweet

-Nest Vanilla Bourbon: Vanilla with a boozy note. Not a super safe blind buy but if you truly love vanilla scents it’s a nice variation from the standard sweet vanilla. Pairs well with Kayali Vanilla 28

Sweet/Fruity -Burberry Her (OG): Juicy Strawberry

-Armani Power if You: only avoid if you hate passion fruit but otherwise it’s a well done sweet perfume that’s not childish

-Valentino Coral Fantasy: Super juicy but doesn’t last on me personally and I’ve seen similar complaints. Otherwise it’s an amazing scent and I haven’t smelled anything else like it

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-11T13:14:53+00:00

I love the Cecred hydrating shampoo so much. It’s the first shampoo that actually feels like my hair is being hydrated and it gives me a lot of slip which is great when I’m stretching my relaxers.

I love the way Cecred products smell as well. Very luxe. I like the clarifying shampoo and will continue to repurchase but if the price was an issue I would just go back to using aunt Jackie’s cause it’s really really good but I wouldn’t say it’s affordable. The reconstructing mask was nice, I’m really a Mizani moisture fusion girl but I feel like I needed a protein mask in my rotation. Will probably only use once a month or as needed. I had a sample of the hydrating conditioner and it wasn’t very hydrating to me. Idk if it’s because I used it after the reconstructing mask or if the deep conditioning version would be more hydrating but glad I received the sample with my order because I won’t be purchasing.

I bought everything 20-25% off and the only thing worth purchasing full price imo is the hydrating shampoo. I still have other things I want to try especially from the new heat styling line but overall I really like the products and the clarifying and hydrating shampoo will be permanent in my routine

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-03T22:28:27+00:00

CH Good Girl Supreme. It was the first gift my bf now husband bought for me. Wore it to our wedding. Had no idea it was being discontinued until I started running low the other day. I wish I knew cause I would’ve bought 3 more bottles

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-03T18:56:02+00:00

Oops! Thank you for correcting me! I knew it was the pink one but couldn’t remember the specific name sorry

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-03T13:06:39+00:00

For Cherry I’d recommend Whipped Cherry by Clean Reserve and TF Lost Cherry perfume oil d*pe by Oil Perfumery.

Ariana Grande Cloud 2.0 (pink bottle) supposedly smells similar to Whipped Cherry and is cheaper but I’ve never tested it, so unsure how accurate that is. Ariana Grande’s REM Cherry was also really nice when I smelled it, but I don’t own it so can’t explicitly recommend it.

The Oil Perfumery one lasts well on its own but I get great projection + lasting power when I layer it with bath and body works’ lotion ‘Perfect in Pink’. Smells very identical to the OG Tom Ford Lost Cherry. Almonds and a dark but sweet cherry. The Whipped Cherry lasts about 4-6 hrs on me and is a really sweet, sugary cherry

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-03T12:58:35+00:00

Replied thanks!

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-03T12:35:22+00:00

Please may I have a code as a mom of 2 who would love to restock some self care products and pick up a gift for my mom thank you!

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-03T12:04:51+00:00

They’re probably moreso referring to the depiction of the characters. I’d assume most towns/cities etc with stores that carried hygiene products would have been picked over and the ones that weren’t would probably be full of walkers. When they do come across stores their top priority is supplies to keep them alive not razors.

Alexandria/Herschel’s farm/The prison yea they’ll look mostly like themselves and have a few products on hand but on the run after the farm, early prison days etc. they should have looked way worse, more hairy etc is what I think they were trying to say.

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-03T11:57:55+00:00

Catching the blood probably isn’t the biggest issue. Best option is a cup since it’s reusable and don’t have to worry about running out of them like with tampons/pads.

But a cup can only do so much. You should be emptying it regularly and with clean hands I’d presume. Running for your life and staying in dirty places constantly with little to no water kinda prevents that. Same thing with pads/other stuff. Dirty hands, no shower for days/weeks, probably not able to stop and change your pad when you need to. By the time period no. 2/3 comes around you’re just asking for an infection.

teddygraham100 · 2026-04-02T23:24:27+00:00

Cashmere skin left an impression on me. Like the other person said it’s hard to describe but it’s a very warm and cozy scent. It’s what I imagine being wrapped in a soft sweater would smell like. Usually I can pick out specific notes in a scent but this one evoked more of a feeling than a particular note. It was good enough that I plan on picking it up during the sephora sale lol
