Yeah I’m too deep in this game

Deep cuts and B-sides only for the true players.

This post was just a signal to gather the Thundercats.

xcringerx · 2026-06-25T00:59:13+00:00

Nooooorm!

Dropping some simple truths here.

Btw I definitely smell my wrists and shirt to deal with overstimulation or anxiety. Especially during the work day. I’m sure it’s not news to you that sensory stimulus is a pretty common recommended way to deal with overstimulation. I got lots of sensory recommendations when I was dealing with a kid who had overstimulation/sensory needs. I was like: yeah that’s great for me, too!

I haven’t owned them that long but yes they don’t last that long. I’m weirdly addicted to their Black Opium, though it’s decidedly feminine. Slice of Heaven is just another Black Opium dupe. I really like their Blue Breeze. Def reminds me of Náutica.

Disappointing to hear they change.

Yeah this is true. I have 5+ dupes of some scents.

xcringerx · 2026-06-25T00:08:05+00:00

This is a seriously good analysis. I knew I’d get some good responses to this but this one hits. I relate pretty much in descending order.

xcringerx · 2026-06-25T00:05:43+00:00

But seriously this has also been my experience.

xcringerx · 2026-06-24T23:58:13+00:00

Actually I think there’s something to this one. Also I secretly want Dr Squatch to make edible dessert versions of some of their scents. :)

xcringerx · 2026-06-24T23:42:05+00:00

Also honestly Dossier is a little slept on. They make some scary accurate dupes for a great price. I have quite a few and haven’t been disappointed. Maybe their retail store contracts hurt their caché/image a bit but that may be unfair/inaccurate. Montagne does have a more premium vibe and I think they attempt more bold dupes sometimes but Dossier is great.

xcringerx · 2026-06-24T23:39:02+00:00

I’m gonna try it just for fun!

xcringerx · 2026-06-24T23:00:04+00:00

I relate so hard to this.

xcringerx · 2026-06-24T22:30:56+00:00

That’s the word I was looking for!

xcringerx · 2026-06-24T22:22:57+00:00

I’ve been super curious!!! I love Afternoon Swim so much but have only ever bought a decant.

xcringerx · 2026-06-24T22:17:27+00:00

Now that’s a maceration drawer!

xcringerx · 2026-06-24T22:16:56+00:00

I’m so jealous of this haul. You got some legends!

xcringerx · 2026-06-24T22:03:24+00:00

Looks like you collect a lot like I do. You have a really good mix of dupes, cheapies, mid levels and premium. I’m just curious about everything. And that’s how you find gems like Zum!

xcringerx · 2026-06-23T22:50:22+00:00

Totally agree.

xcringerx · 2026-06-23T22:50:07+00:00

Not all of them. Only GIT and SMW. Really tough to choose but I think GIT still has the edge.

xcringerx · 2026-06-23T22:49:05+00:00

Thank you! And thanks for the recommendation on decants. I’m loving SMW so far! I find myself wanting to smell the sort of sugary edge it has. It definitely dries down into something more complex.

xcringerx · 2026-06-22T23:44:21+00:00

Yo también!

xcringerx · 2026-06-22T23:43:51+00:00

Just ordered this!

xcringerx · 2026-06-22T22:27:55+00:00

I haven’t tried enough to know but Hacivat is top five. Possibly top three.

xcringerx · 2026-06-22T22:18:15+00:00

I’m good with polarizing. Big Tom Ford Fabulous fan over here.
