Most importantly, buy everything Serge Lutens before they are reformulated/rebottled/only available at exorbitant prices in Paris.I’m not haunted at night by these losses, but mildly annoyed

...Thank you for the warm welcome! This seems like a place after my heart. I promise that I will not be spreading negativity. I would only engage in politics here if it were to defend someone against bullying and to protect their human rights. With your lovely policy and a useful report button, that shouldn’t be necessary. I hope that I can contribute in a positive way when I get my bearings 

...Ooh, I’d love the scent of my childhood summers at my great grandparents cottage. The rugged coast of weatern Jutland in Denmark. Reduced to 5 notes:FirHeatherThymeSea saltSand

...I just have to vent here for a moment. The post upvote/downvote system on Fragrantica is balloons. Sometimes in the article discussions the upvote/downvote has been reversed, at least for some of us. Suddenly I was upvoting hate speech and downvoting post advocating  human rights for all. Popping balloons by upvoting feels bad. Giving a nice heartshaped balloon to someone who gleefully insults other people feels even worse. In the forum for site related issues I’ve asked this apparant glitch in a sober manner. My post have been removed. One was edited. With no warning. Not leaving an “edited by mods” or “deleted by mods” comment. I mentioned that I wondered if I had posted anything at all and how disconcerting it feels to question your own senses, and it was deleted. That is not okay at all.Update: I asked in their suggestions and improvement thread this morning: Could admins please add a “comment edited by mod” or “comment deleted by mods” when they edit or delete a post. That suggestion was immediately deleted. Sigh

...Hello, Barbamama from Fragrantica looking for a new and friendlier neighborhood here. New user name is Bellondee. Perfume is my daily respite from the general worries of the world and the specifics of my personal life. Not finding that on “that other place”, so I’ll look around and see if this is a happier place.And yes, I was also reacting to the anti-pride campaign and toxicity. I’ve no tolerance for gaslighting anymore in any part of my life.Happy to see former Fragrantica users like unearthlyapothecary, LadyofWahey, El Capitan etc here. People who are thoughtful and empathic. Hi!
