rum replied to a thread What is your worst used fragrance purchase experience? in General Fragrance Discussion

Hear, hear! I could state enough cases like this to bring down the entire BN server! More bad experiences as a seller than I'd ever like to remember.

Yup, I concur. Just about anything from this company these days is a waste of your time.

This is by far my worst experience. I can just about detect a faint pencil shavings note in Molecule 01 but that's about it. At first it even comes...

rum replied to a thread Non-IFRA-Compliance & Bogart (Signature) Pour Homme (1975). in Vintage Perfume

rum replied to a thread Your 2019 favorites! in Male Fragrance Discussion

Although I don't own it (yet), I'd say Fougere L’Aube. I did think Eau de Minthe would work for me as a 2019 release, but alas I found the DHM too...

Yes same here. I get the geranium bit which may come across as soapy/clean, but there is a lot more going on with this. Spices like nutmeg or various...

That's precisely my issue. Whatever you may wear at so-and-so's funeral will always stay with you forever as that 'funeral scent'. I know I would...
