|
Papa Universe
10.02.17 | In the end it's your nose that must be caressed the most with the scent of a toilette-nectar. It doesn't matter what others think as long as what your nose senses is a gentle tickling, instead of a crude fingering. |
bgillesp
10.02.17 | Typhoon (USA-OR)- Young Fathers |
butcherboy
10.02.17 | funny I actually have a vial of tom ford's tobacco vanille.. amazing smell, but a bit stifling.. I usually just smell it instead of wearing.. |
butcherboy
10.02.17 | Aqua di Parma is great stuff too.. lemon and seawater, I think is the specific scent.. |
Toad
10.02.17 | @bloc you want in?
@butcher I totally get that. I actually wear it a lot during the winter; two sprays max and it's beautiful without being overwhelmingly. Bit of an art piece though and less of a standard. Which acqua di Parma do you have? It's a good line
Also wouldja mind slipping a rec to join?
Thanks to all those who jumped in! |
bloc
10.02.17 | It's ok, I just wanted to talk about perfumes lol |

Conmaniac
10.07.17 | ohhh god i'm super excited |
Toad
10.07.17 | just made myself a tom collins and sitting down for the listening sesh as we speak |
Conmaniac
10.07.17 | enjoy (also what's a tom collins, sounds fancy) |
Toad
10.07.17 | just gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and water. a perfect summer refresher for the early autumn (read: late summer) here in kansas. FIRST ROUND IS UP FOLKS |
Conmaniac

Conmaniac
10.07.17 | AHHHH you had to even it up didn't you? where's Fripp tho
glad ya dug IT IT Toad, you can thank Vax for that find. but yeah I told ya I did my research (; |
Toad
10.07.17 | Fripp closes out with a 4.5! LET THE DRAMA BUILD |
Conmaniac
10.07.17 | fuckkkkkkkk |
Conmaniac
10.07.17 | well you're ending on the best song of the 3 so fingers crossed |
Toad
10.07.17 | Insanely close round here. Thank you to all participants. Last round was close but thankfully had enough distinction for me to feel solid in my decision. Go ahead and claim your prize |
Conmaniac
10.07.17 | holllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyy SHIT YES you don't understand how pumped I am rn. |
Toad
10.07.17 | If you'd like some help guiding you choice wise, let me know what sort of scents you like in general (fall leaves, the ocean, vanilla and other cooking spices, etc) and i'll guide you towards what i think you'd like best
congrats, you earned it. especially having the only two fives in the contest. going to spin those records asap |
Conmaniac
10.08.17 | hell yeah dude both are amazing (4.5/5) albums.
im rn asking my friends for cologne scent advice but they are of no help. prob dont want something too masculine cuz idk if tobacco notes would fit me well. i'm deciding between 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 hahah. |
Toad
10.08.17 | I'd go for 3, 4, or 7 out of those just because they're safer scents. 3 is a gorgeous jack-of-all trades with a ton of personality with universal beauty, 4 is an explosively vivid winter holidays fragrance, and 7 is the ultimate crowd pleaser - not as distinctive as the others, but has a beautifully realized pineapple note that gives it a lot of dimension despite its relatively mainstream flavor |
Conmaniac
10.08.17 | ooh 7 is tempting but imma go with 3, seems to fit my needs / palette the best! |
Toad
10.08.17 | Nice dude. I'm wearing it right now actually to go to a pops concert with a friend - it's an amazing fragrance and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Cheers! |
Conmaniac
10.08.17 | beautiful. really excited to receive it and I'll let ya know what I/others think of it! |
neekafat
10.08.17 | I don't understand this list |
Papa Universe
10.08.17 | yeah, I lost the thin line of the narrative about a half way through too. shouldn't have left after my loss |
Conmaniac
10.08.17 | well the ppl that needed to understand seemed to get it so that's all that matters right |
Frippertronics
10.08.17 | "AHHHH you had to even it up didn't you? where's Fripp tho"
was at work so I missed most of the fun
congrats Con, my revenge shall be fierce and imminent. The smellz beckon thee. |
Conmaniac
10.08.17 | thanks Fripp, was a well fought battle. come visit and we will hit the town wearing the same fancy ass cologne |
Frippertronics
10.08.17 | truly the contribs are to be feared |
