EXILED! The stories from Defected Fragrantican Members

... DogiCoco Now I'm super curious which fragrance that was 😆 As you can imagine, I was super hesitant to say because of what just happened, ugh, not trying to be coy just feeling sensitive given what happened. It's Missing Person from Phlur, I totally missed that there was a media frenzy around it in the 'skin scent' genre a few years ago, I just didn't know any of that when I wrote the review. It reminds me exactly of me being a kid in a too-hot summer lounging on an old couch and made me feel nostalgic for younger me. But what I didn't KNOW was a lot of people are anosmic so they just go around accusing me of parroting influencers I didn't even know existed and making the whole thing up?! Who makes up that they smell like their childhood couch?!

EXILED! The stories from Defected Fragrantican Members

mkppt | Parfumo Community

... About a month ago I had a review with 3-4 mild sentences about liking a fragrance that might lean a little unpopular overall. Did not mention ANYONE else but me, just mentioned it made me happy and nostalgic. Not only was it completely buried with downvotes (who cares, not my point) but at least TWO people started following all my future reviews and harassing them, following EVERY review I had with mean, rude comments, downvoting everything I did. They said I was "tiktok brained" (I have never downloaded tiktok even once) and a "moron" and a "shill." For THREE SENTENCES THAT I MILDLY LIKED SOMETHING. I am so removed from influencers/tiktok that I didn't even know this particular fragrance was hyped up by influencers. They somehow convinced themselves that everybody hates it and you must be addicted to social media and 'influenced' if you like it. It took me a while to even figure out what the hell they were talking about when they kept harassing me. Not ONCE did I engage with them. My sin was saying "I like this and it makes me nostalgic." People need self-reflection journals, I swear, who the hell thinks they're doing something positive by harassing someone on a perfume site.

What's the fragrance that got you into this hobby?

... Mine was Kerosene - Unknown Pleasures , which I will always thank for getting me into this mess! I very rarely reach for it these days, but I remember it was during a hard time for me, I was sort of mindlessly watching Moulin Rouge, I decided to try the 2ml a friend had left at my place even though I had zero interest in perfume at the time. She had me try about 4-5 earlier in the week and I hated all of them. Then I tried Unknown Pleasures and it was like a new part of my brain turned on. It was even hard for me to sleep because it smelled so good. Shortly after that I tried Diptyque - L'Eau Papier which just completely rewrote my understanding of what perfume was, and then after that I got into suedes with Dries van Noten - Fleur du Mal and by that point I was completely hooked.
