I mean directly online from the MFK store. A sample set is 14 € which is immediately returned to you as a redemption code. The shipping is DHL one of the best if not the best globally.

Why not buy directly?

All from an authorised retailer to boot. This is the way. After you’re done with the sample set, a handsome and well-to-do gentlemen such as rollzst can offer a lady of modest means like me a sweet...

Move fast. Had Ceylon ripped out of my cart right before I hit PayPal checkout.

Waiting on The Bark.

Quite a bit. I’m decisive so it works for me.

How are you measuring tare?

Eggs? As in sulphurous?

Femme all week as penance for the Bortnikoff indulgence. To quote my spouse upon smelling Mysterious Oud, “You smell like a white board marker!”

Any local buzz about this?

No recs (because femme) but on shopping through a “daigou” it might be worthwhile to order ahead and have friend pick it up. Especially if you can insert some large financial big tech like PayPal or...

I own a couple of FB and have a lot of the line in samples. Thameen are strong and perform well, even more so in high temperatures. You would have to be receptive to frags without edges; tame, but...

Yeah, this was the comment that hooked me

Any updates to share?

INI2021 with unknown expiration date. Have fun storming the castle!

Thanks for doing that, gunmetal. I ordered a couple of samples for the hell of it. Anything that makes Rajesh B. hide away in his abode to wear this in secret has me one curious cat.

Essentia Limited (Di Ser and Yuragi) distillations. Hokkaido straight up the nostrils.

Definitely.

Creation E Pour Femme. This is going to rocket straight to the top of my spouse’s faves on me.

MPG Ambre Precieux FB
Roja Enigma Pour Femme (Essence discovery atomiser)
Various decants (Triad, Thameen, Prin, Di Ser, Musk Aoud)
Samples from Shalini. How exactly does € 3600 per bottle smell?

Also, Journey :thumbup: Wonder Twins activate!

Heads up for users of USPS Informed Delivery Mobile App. Informed Delivery app is phased out Summer 2021 in favor of an expanded USPS Mobile App. On its face it certainly appears more robust.

No reviews for this one. Any experiences to share?

I have five FB and various in sample size. You don’t see them much in my wear history because they were my pre-pandemic signature. They’re restrained, which is my preference, so that might translate...

Anyone planning a split?

What’s the epilogue? Did RD respond to the mixup?

LOL. I live with an industry professional, and yes, it did indeed remain on message. I’m looking forward to trying them as well.

8 ml Triad for me. Thanks JBS1.

Oh buddy, I just remembered the hyrax. I’m gonna get kicked out of bed. :cry:

They also don’t seem to be delivering outside the UK.

Not at all alike. Qatar is quite sweet. Nice gift btw.

The opinions of PdM are polarized. Initio doesn’t seem to elicit the same love-hate dynamic.

Hmm... you like Widian/AJ Arabia and PdM. Maybe consider a lateral move to Initio?

Good idea. Time to gather up the power tools and do some damage this summer. Something, something Pinterest fail and I had the best intentions.

Wondering the same. I requested a sample with my recent Luckyscent order but no go. I got Fars. :cry:

Mine have outgrown the one bookshelf I allotted. Has anyone tried floating shelves or multiple corner units?

I have to confess I sent ZC a mislabeled sample. Once. But I now think giving him five with no label on purpose would be great just to mess with him.

I wasn’t going to spend the time writing this out, but this was exactly what I was thinking. Personally, if there’s anything I’d like to see erased magic wand style it’s elimination of quotas in law...

Amber Cologne because it’s bursting with raw floral and citrus.

Ooh to both The Moon and Amante. Xerjoff does weird things with fruit in Oud Stars a little too often for my tastes. The Moon is shaping up to be a strong contender.

His best days are behind him.

That’s a whole bucket of fun right there.

Current code for free ship is WETHRIFT. I think it’s 89 CAD minimum.

This.

+1.

I’m with the go with your own nose crowd. Not sure how many I have are orientals, although I’d guess most of what I have are modern orientals maybe? Don’t overlook Rasasi, ASQ, Swiss Arabian. From...

I think Basel Binjabr has an exciting vision. He brings the gift of fresh approach or maybe next generation in an established industry.

House of Oud is something I’ve wanted to add.

Wear what you’re comfortable in. Something you won’t overthink because that will alter your behavior and if there is anything that will send red flags it’s nervousness or hesitation. Have fun it’s...

with a bonus Roja atomiser and some Xerjoff samples

Pictures of this cabinet, please. I’m in the market for better storage.

Facts. You are not alone based on popular ranking. The Dragon has occupied the top spot since I joined.

Has anyone tried this or owns it? Would appreciate reading any updates or experiences the more details the better, especially compared to the EDP.

I’d go with whatever my kids picked for me. There are some scents I enjoy (and some I don’t) but I can get by on about anything.

PDLN 3. Fencer salute to the fine gents who put me on it.

They do not smell identical but they do smell similar to me. Clean skin no perfume last night or this morning applied orange-tinged on right arm and translucent on left. I did not review the note...

I want to go back in time with you.

These are from two separate discovery sets not from the same year. Both from authorized retailers. Seems you are correct, Kotori.

Osmanthe Yunnan is my spouse’s favorite.

Use code OURTREAT through March 18, 2021 for 30% off $175+ purchase. Code usable on lesser amount for reduced savings.

Sephora has a sample set with Vanilla Vibes that comes with a redemption voucher for a full bottle priced at $68 USD. Though none of these are my style, I do have atomisers and spray samples of all...

Best wishes for recovery! Years ago I had a more serious form of morning sickness during a pregnancy and found drinking warm bergamot flavored decaf teas worked at least as well as anti-nausea drugs....

Agree with others it’s the atomizer, or at least the material of the nozzle. I tried a clean dry cloth, alcohol prep pad, and rinsing with plain water. No effect.

Reload my chance to custom mix at Fragonard.

Probably something from J-Scent (pop culture mood) or Di Ser (traditional/romantic).

Well, guess I’ll chalk it up to a odd manufacturing glitch if there’s nothing of note good or ill. If someone down the road does encounter a rotated ROJA on an atomiser as far as I know it is still...

Four of the five below are direct from Roja Parfums; one was purchased from a trusted BN member. The direction of “ROJA” on the atomisers caught my eye. Two are opposite of the other three. The two...

Amber Cologne is amazing. Why? It smells like a night out in the countryside of tropical Asia, minus the car exhaust. It’s a little matronly but captures and preserves the flora so authentically.

My recs lean towards vegetal tannins than leather.

And a great one at that.

Wondering if any of the gents have any experience with Norwegian Wool coats. I’m looking at the car coat and blazer specifically. How are they in the shoulders? Do they allow good movement? Also, how...

Yum. I wish I could pull this one off. Please share your thoughts when it arrives!

I added two bottles of the newer Junoon Leather. The leather is almost too realistic for me, I prefer vegetal tannins, but the smoothness and overall balance knocked it out of the park. Rose usually...

How do you approach other purchases? I know my walk-away criteria before I engage in any transaction. All my due diligence and KYC (or in this case know your seller or merchant I guess) is satisfied...

Darvant had to go and write a tantalizing review of Ella K Lettere to Pushkar.

Yep. Priced to sell from someone with solid feedback ratings if I remember correctly.

Hah! They’re looking to expand into home fragrances. Great find, scentimus.

My first direct order from Roja Parfums: H - Black Tier and PDLN 3.

Depends on the product and country of origin.

Which man? This man? Then... any perfume or cologne because topical cosmetics can only enhance what is already there. Life isn’t fair.

Deep breath. You own them, you do what you want. Best advice I can give is don’t ask what people think. This isn’t real property we’re talking about, it’s more like baseball cards or comic...

At that point you’re being compensated for your time, not necessarily the product. I think a smart buyer discerns between an opportunist banking on entitlement or coercive market failure, and a...

Your inventory costs you, not me. Try it and find out. :).

Looking at my bottles of Taklamakan* and Wish Come True* in front of me for comparison. One is from Luckyscent, the other from Nieman Marcus. The lettering of the interior of the box you show does...

Thank you both for your thoughtful input. I placed an order at Roja Parfums for discovery atomisers PDLN3 and H Black Tier. Cheers to Basenoters!

Would appreciate a contrast and comparison strictly between Roja H - Black Tier to Sultanate of Oman. The pyramids seem to have some overlap and I am wondering if there are redundant or distinct...

That might be a matter of opportunity and location. Outside of Auckland, Wellington, and maybe Christchurch, where do you sample?

MFK.com seem to understand their global clientele well. Product presentation, choice of carrier, attending the long term consumer relation more like a concierge. All high marks.

I don’t know. Sometimes it could come across like “My first red bottoms!” or Supreme (the streetwear) hypebeast. 540 does remind of some guady Macau decor, and I say that as someone who has it in...

Where are you shipping to?

A bottle from a discontinued SHL line.

More or less social proof by way of conspicuous consumption. I guess you could erect a Cinderella facade through superficial, temporal emulation. Just don’t get caught out after midnight, i.e., your...

To evaluate if I really wanted to chase down one of the few available extrait-strength full bottles. Luckily, I have a friend in the Netherlands who will pick it up for me.

Not always. But enough seem to enjoy it I hope to put mine up for sale.
