If ever I needed a reason to boycott LVMH brands...

JulieDammit | Off Topic

... This is it. Unbridled, unapologetic greed. I'm going to be careful to never buy another LVMH brand again. https://www.reuters.com/world/. ..

Your Perfume Hot Takes

JulieDammit | Perfume Discussions

... I think fragrance--like every creative field--is experiencing a massive pushback from neo-conservatives who need to force their worldview onto everything. For instance, I see so many fragrance reviews lately that are insistent on assigning a gender to a scent (typically "This is MANLY scent for MEN and it's DEFINITELY MASCULINE") and it adds no value to fragrance appreciation at all, it's just a ridiculous grasping at obsolete, inflexible, conservative value judgements. I've watched it develop over the last decade with infiltration from gamer bros who brought their trad values and their epic beast mode toxic everything and it's really snowballed.

Cake!

JulieDammit | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... I haven't seen it available since 2022, but Sucreabeille had a Dunder Mifflin-themed series which contained a scent called "It Is Your Birthday. (Eau de Parfum) | Sucreabeille" and it is a very realistic german chocolate cake. If they ever bring it back, I'm in for a full bottle

perfumes dedicated to musicians or songs

JulieDammit | Perfume Discussions

... I don't mean a recording artist's branded line of perfumes, but perfumes dedicated to the spirit of a song, band or musician? A few off the top of my head: "Debaser (Eau de Parfum) | D.S. & Durga" - DS & Durga (pixies) "Ethereal Wave | Liis" - Liis (cocteau twins) 100,000 Fireflies - Death & Floral (magnetic fields) Alternatively, what notes would you combine to embody the spirit of a favorite musician, writer, artist, director, or one of their works ?

... Sniffwhiff Doomsday by Sunday (1994) On repeat. I'm obsessed. I want to gatekeep it, but I also want everyone to know it exists. As a sidenote, how are you all getting the actual video in the post? Teach me your ways please 🙏🏻 I guess there's a youtube link to the official audio track and a separate one for the official video

... there's a new podcast by two staff members of luckyscent called 'it's just perfume.' I thought the first episode was very entertaining. Among other things they discuss tea scents

Scents of Wood

JulieDammit | Perfumes & Brands

... Slightly off topic, but I *love* that wheel diagram that shows groupings and concentration! I wish more perfumers would do this where it's possible. Also my notes on Praline in Maple in 2023 were 'authentic caramel gourmand, dries down to masc-leaning barrel wood' probably not very helpful lol

Your fragrance should match your outfit

Terroni - Orto Parisi

JulieDammit | Perfume Discussions

... Personally I feel like an interesting fragrance has the most impact on me when it's on someone who dresses down. For instance my landlady sent an electrician over to make a repair recently--totally average, casual, gen z dude, jeans and sweatshirt. It was only when I shook his hand as he was leaving that I caught a whiff of greenish patchouli (or maybe oud? my nose is not great). Whatever it was, it was well-blended and unusual, and I thought 'ah, this is a low-key connoisseur of fine things.' lol I guess those are my own value judgements though.

Self-anointing behavior in free-ranging spider monkeys

JulieDammit | Off Topic

... So other primates besides homo sapiens appear to use perfume. I love this. ... Self-anointing behavior in free-ranging spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) in Mexico Matthias Laska, Verena Bauer, Laura Teresa Hernandez Salazar Abstract During 250 h of observation, a total of 20 episodes of self-anointing, that is, the application of scent-bearing material onto the body, were recorded in a group of free-ranging Mexican spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi). The animals used the leaves of three species of plants (Brongniartia alamosana, Fabaceae; Cecropia obtusifolia, Cecropiaceae; and Apium graveolens, Umbelliferae) two of which have not been reported so far in this context in any New World primate species. The findings that only two males displayed self-anointing, that only the sternal and axillary regions of the body were rubbed with the mix of saliva and plant material, and a lack of correlation between the occurrence of self-anointing and time of day, season of the year, ambient temperature or humidity do not fit the hypothesis that this behavior functions in repelling insects and/or mitigating topical skin infections in this species. Rather, the data and the observation that the leaves of all three plant species spread an intensive and aromatic odor when crushed, support the hypothesis that self-anointing in A. geoffroyi may play a role in the context of social communication, possibly for signaling of social status or to increase sexual attractiveness.

What size bottles to buy?

JulieDammit | Perfume Discussions

... I always go for 30 or 50mL if I can, and I adore perfumers who make spray mini replicas of their full size bottles.

Is "You Or Someone Like You" from ELDO a blind buy?

You or Someone like You - Etat Libre d'Orange

JulieDammit | Perfume Discussions

... I would say it's safe, but the herbal/fresh notes are more prominent to some people? If you like the brand, I would really recommend getting a sample pack from their site, pick 4 and take your time with them. I think they give you a discount code for a full or half (50mL) bottle.

Honey perfume recommendations

... "Bee | Ellis Brooklyn" is niche but not too expensive. I love it but I would get small samples of everything to make sure they suit you. Honey can have such a wide spectrum of qualities

Politically incorrect fragrance notes?

JulieDammit | Perfume Discussions

... tangentially related: I remember reading the trivia somewhere that Mon Guerlain Intense was dubbed the "Become a Wife" fragrance, and that is the kind of marketing that makes me blink once and slowly back away
