...My birthday is coming up and I being a fraghead I want to treat myself to a high quality perfume. Unfortunately samples and decants are very hard to come by in my country so my choice will be a blind buy based on what I've read online and my personal taste.I would like to ask the community to help weigh in on my decision. Here is some context:My absolute favorite fragrance is Dior Homme Intense and Parfum which I own both. I am not a big fan of freshies.The fragrances I'm interested in getting are:YSL Tuxedo: I got a chance to test Moustache last year and I remember loving it, I hear it's a clone so if it's really close Tuxedo seems like a good choice. I also like to gravitate around private designer scents.MFK Grand Soir: I own BR540 and Oud Satin mood and I love both of them. MFK has never disappointed me so far and I'm based on the notes Grand Soir seems like a good choice as I am a fan of amber and vanilla. Only downside is I can't sample it anywhere and have no idea what the dna is like.Armani Privé Iris Celadon: No way to sample this one either but the notes remind me of dior homme intense.I am excited to hear your thoughts!

...OrianeEmberRoseAdding to this but I'll be getting two extra back-ups of Le Male Le Parfum one 125ml and a spare 200ml because I'm going through my current 200ml bottle at a stupid rate, mostly because it's helping to ease my anxiety. Well, if it helps you at the moment, then do what you have to do, but if you are having an ongoing crisis of some sort, perhaps you should consider talking to your doctor or someone?  Wishing you all the best.  Stay safe, EmberRose.  It's nothing to be too worried about, it's just the dawn of my birthday month and it usually gives me a case of birthday blues and horrible anxiety but I found this fragrance really helps because of the strong dose of lavender in it and I found it to be very calming.

...Because I have a juvenile sense of humour...

...Lyric Woman maybe marketed to woman but yeah the rose is very much masculine and surprised no one mentioned it.

...The only time I got a compliment was while wearing Scandal pour Homme I  had a guy say he liked my jacket but I think he liked what I was wearing so I'll take what I can get because I very rarely get people commenting on my SOTD.

...Since last year I started collecting anime/manga figurines to me they're nice to display on my desks and bookshelves.

...Thought this would be a fun discussion, admittingly most of my blind buy regrets where during the time I was buying fragrances in earnest and others where when it was started to become more of a passion project.The ones I regret buying:Hugo Boss Deep RedHugo Boss OrangeHugo Boss FemmeRoberto Cavalli Just CavalliRoberto Cavalli AcquaLancome O de LancomeCalvin Klein Eternity AquaChanel No 5Jeanne Arthes Boum Sweet LollipopJuicy Couture Viva La JuicyWhich fragrances do you regret blind buying?

...Intense Cafe (Montale)Black Opium (YSL)Good Girl (Carolina Herrera)

...These brands I've been eyeing for a few years from a distance, but would they be worth investing in?The ones from Amouage I'm interested in:Lyric Woman (Extrait)Epic WomanJourney WomanPortrayal WomanBlossom LoveThe ones from Roja Dove I'm interested in:Elixir Pour FemmeRisque Pour Femme

...Guess I'll keep the ball rolling by posting more topics maybe my creative streak can help with that because there are more topics I want to post anyway.

...Admittingly someone posted a picture of a fragrance but the image had your website on it this was on Base notes. so I joined because yeah there are rude/elitist people on Base notes so this is technically my second fragrance home besides Base notes because I use both sites daily to log my SOTD and post in the forums.

...1. I have ASD had a late diagnoses in my teens and well my father and step mother started to treat me like a wounded animal and not as a person.2. My IRL social skills are that of a wooden spoon and I hate crowded places I am not a people person.3. I'm an avid Manga reader.4. I did self-publish a book once but I later pulled it from sites because I wasn't happy with it.5. Fun fact the name I use on other sites "Ledi Perehodov Arts" basically means "Lady of Transitions Arts" because I am a woman of many facets despite Traditional Art being my main profession.

...Masculine scents that I wear:ErosSauvage ParfumGentleman ClassicLe BeauPrada L'HommeDiamonds for Men Black Carat 1 Million LuckyAdding to this list recently I've been wearing Scandal Pour Homme get your nose on this and try it on your skin it's amazing, oh and counting Le Male Le Parfum here too because it's another one to try too.

...Ah, I used to like that site but sadly I think my time on there may have had a negative effect on me after one of my swaps that I did because I wound up apologizing way too much because I genuinely felt I had done something wrong, and there was a case where I was going to do a swap with someone but I found interacting with them made me feel physically sick so I cancelled that swap this was all in 2019 mind you. I wound up losing access to the email I had there returned there back in June 2022 for a day or two and it was the worst choice I ever made so I made a promise to never return there again because like before the interactions I had there where extremely toxic so I went looking other perfume sites instead.

...I have to ask wether the person who designed this was high or drunk could be both.

...I keep them in their boxes and store them in empty shoe boxes/parcels because I like to keep things around colour theory and some I have on my bookshelves if I really like them.

...People glued to their phones not looking where they're going, have been tempted to trip them up not gonna lie.Groups of people on a single path who refuse to move out the way when I need to go past them.People who use public walkways for their bikes/scooters when there's blatantly a road they can use.Random men catcalling me on the street kindly mind your own business.People not saying thank you to cashiers they're people too a little kindness makes a lot difference.
