EXILED! The stories from Defected Fragrantican Members

Gaycatthing | Parfumo Community

... DRKSHDW Raluko111 DRKSHDW I have a question: How do I block F^*k.rant.ica in my browser settings? I don't want to see links to their website when I do my perfume Google searches. My preferred browser is Chrome. Or Duck Duck Go Go. I've watched some YouTube videos with instructions, but nothing seems to work. If you have a solution, please, let me know!!! Please, please, please... (They are profiting off of invasive ads, so I don't want to accidentally click on the links. It's (almost) 2025, we're in the Age of Aquarius, and I'm only supporting companies that deserve it. Free to choose, if you know you know LOL) If you turn on the ad blocker on your computer, they won't make any profit if you view anything on their site. Still, I wouldn't want to increase their site traffic in any way. There's big Russian money that has helped that site expand and grow, like so many other awful things on social media that promote hate and division around the world. I have no idea how to stop them. Just being aware of it and avoiding it, spreading the word to others, I suppose is all we can do. Just to clarify.... I don't visit that site (boycotting it)... But when I google and type various perfume names, F**k.rantica links show up on my search results feed. I just wanted to exclude them from my Google search results. For now, the best way to do so is just typing Parfumo + the name of the perfume. Also, sometimes I accidentally click on F***ca forum links because their red logo looks like Reddit forum links. I wanted to avoid that, too. Oh well. If I figure out how to exclude them from Google search results, I will share it here. If you guys use uBlock Origin, add the following filters to My Filters: google.*##.g:has(a[href*="fragr antica."]) google.*##a[href*="fragrantica. "]:upward(1) duckduckgo.*##.g:has(a[href*="f ragrantica."]) duckduckgo.*##a[href*="fragrant ica."]:upward(1) Doesn't really help with Mobile et al but for web browsing this works for me :) Likewise uBlacklist is a good choice for blocking sites en masse (forgot I actually used both as I use it for filtering out AI results on Google whenever I search up art references til I made this very reply lol). Even gives the option to automatically block results on other search engines like DuckDuckGo. Just add the following to your list and you're good: *://*.fragrantica.com/*

cute or interesting minis / deluxe samples / decant bottles!

Gaycatthing | Perfumes & Brands

... I have a lot of fondness for miniature bottles. I don't know, something about them being so small is really endearing, even if they're a little bit of a pain to apply compared to spritzers. that got me thinking... whats your guys's favorite / cute / interesting miniature or deluxe sample bottles? This is mainly in regards to the bottle itself - doesn't even necessarily have to be an official miniature, it can be a decanter or some little bottle you found off of some store or something that you think is neat. My icon is this little vintage Avon mouse bottle i found off eBay for cheap. I'm still having trouble getting the original scent out but it's very cute :) I only have one actual deluxe sample - this one little bottle of "Flowerbomb (Eau de Parfum) | Viktor & Rolf" . I'm not really all too big of a fan of the scent, but the bottle is adorable!

perfume reccs? sweet, cozy, vanilla?

Gaycatthing | Perfume Recommendations

... Seconding "Nemat Vanilla Musk / Vanilla Musk / Nemat's Vanilla Musk | Nemat International" (imo try the oil first, the perfume is rather weak) and "Eilish (Eau de Parfum) | Billie Eilish" !! @snoopygrrl since you're also a fan of B&BW, I've heard "Viva Vanilla | Bath & Body Works" is a good choice too 😊

... Ending my night with a shower and some "Amber | Nemat International" to wind down with. I'm still trying to gather my opinions on this one but thus far it's been pretty pleasant. Have a good night everyone!!

EXILED! The stories from Defected Fragrantican Members

Gaycatthing | Parfumo Community

... I'd pretty much be preaching to the choir here on why I came to Parfumo haha I recently got into fragrances and lurked heavily on the other site for a long time for suggestions to try, but was often weirded out by the rather toxic user-base. I think I made an account at some point, but never really used it all that much because I felt too green on the hobby to give my opinions on the site. Perhaps it might be because of how few reviews there are on here comparatively, but on Parfumo I feel more encouraged to post reviews and share my opinions on the funny smell-good liquids we all love regardless of experience (and I especially appreciate the option for statements on here - sometimes you only have a little bit to say about something, and having a separate spot for that from the long-form reviews is incredibly nice) 😊 Being able to choose nonbinary as an option when signing up pretty much sealed the deal for me. I feel goofy even bringing it up because it's such a nonissue compared to more pertinent aspects of this hobby but knowing people like me are acknowledged in this community makes it infinitely more welcoming for me. I follow my nose to fragrances I enjoy, no matter who it's "actually" for! Setting aside politics, navigating that site without an adblocker (let alone on mobile) is downright awful to navigate and it relieves me knowing that others also take issue with it 🤢 and this is coming from someone who goes out of their way to try and navigate The Cutting Room Floor (which doesn't even have a vertical layout) on mobile to kill time. Yuck!

Say hello and/or introduce yourself (if you like)

Gaycatthing | Parfumo Community

... Hi 👋 I'm bee. Got into fragrances pretty recently, so I'm still kind of learning my way around the hobby. I found this site off of a few different Reddit threads mentioning alternative communities. This place seems really welcoming. I'm still getting my footing on the specific fragrances I like, but so far I like spicy and gourmand scents. 😊 I am an artist and love to paint! I've been doing watercolor and gouache paintings as of late, but I've used a ton of mediums - from simple pencils and paper to oil on canvas, and even did a lot of digital art as a teen and young adult :) looking forward to being here!!
