I can unfortunately imagine that... I just wrote something about the inflationary AI term 'Ode' under the new Micallef perfume ad ('Notorious') on the front page because it annoys me so much. At first, there were two thumbs up, but after an hour, they mysteriously disappeared... Criticism seems to be unwelcome.

You’re quite brave! Luckily, honest opinions and feelings are allowed. Since your tested list indicates quite a bit of fragrance experience and I know your preferences as well as mine, I almost believe I’d feel similarly about this scent.

I'm always fascinated by the inflationary use of a word that is supposed to describe something truly unique - for fragrance compositions that end up being interchangeable or can be smelled on every corner 😎.

Although that sounds rather forgettable now. Tonka blonde isn't such a nice hair color.

Sounds a bit like Naxos... so I'm out. It was never my thing, as it's way too sweet and has ?tobacco? without !tobacco! I feel like I can't get anything out of the perfumer's releases anymore. So I'd rather pass. The brand is completely unknown to me, but it does have respectable ratings here - quantitatively speaking. I sense a bit of local patriotism here - just saying.

I don't find it unpleasant at all, but this scent really isn't innovative. More like boring.

I would have been really surprised if you liked this carousel. A medley of high-priced hits - they put together the perfect bait for fishing in the target audience pond.

I didn't like the test strip at all. I still need to test it on my skin, but I can't imagine it turning out well.

If you're into XerJoff, especially Naxos, this one is perfect for you.
I don't have a direct comparison at the moment, but I still remember that creamy sweet lavender freshness well.
I wasn't a fan of it at ARC/Mallo either.
It's possible that some of the mentioned fragrance twins are more spot-on.
But whatever! Basically, I find this oriental-gooey direction unappealing.
Otherwise: tobacco, woods, cotton candy, vanillin-like, benzoin, chocolate.
Such uninspired scents are just not my thing.
Thanks @Gandix for the sample.

@Rupansai Unfortunately not necessarily, I had one (or two?) on my back for several months. A real wipeout often under my photos.
It's crazy @Seejungfrau that this is also happening here in the States.

It seems like there are some diligent downvoters around here.
I find this telling social media behavior childish yet amusing. 😅
What I actually wanted to say is: Every response is valuable to me and I rate them all with 1+.
Feel free to write something about Fovere!
Rating scales are meant to be used after all.
