@68degreesorless whoa, that’s awesome — thanks for pointing that out. Sometimes when my laces are a bit short, tying a double knot ends up with that annoying wad situation that doesn’t really lie flat. Gonna try this

@guiltyparty I’ve gotten several samples and ended up buying a bottle of Purple Haze. I love incense-y scents, and it’s definitely that — great kind of hippie head shop vibe. Kinda strong, so I tend to spray it in the air and walk through it, just so it’s not too much of a blast. I also liked Chronic and Chinese Tobacco, though not sure I’d go for a bottle of either. They have some newer ones I’d like to try.

@SKT eau d' endive 🥬

@SKT I think I've smelled that CDG one before (I might even still have a sample of it) and I don't remember it smelling as unhinged as the description sounds. I think it was more just kind of industrial and graphite-y smelling. Maybe like a print shop. With a lot of those wild ones they make, I'd never buy a full bottle but I still enjoy picking up a sample to try. Places like Luckyscent and Indiescents are great for that — they cost usually like 4 to 5 bucks a piece and you can try a bunch of stuff. Plus since most of them are kinda dabbed on vs spray samples, they tend to last quite a while. Good bang for buck.

While CDG does do the wild stuff, I think they really excel at doing more straightforward things. Wonderwood is really great, and their Incense series is fantastic. Each is sort of one-note (really just a depiction of a kind of incense), but they smell so good. I'm particularly fond of Avignon, which makes you smell like an old church (my inner goth is like "yes, I'll have that") and Kyoto, which is a really nice, clean, soapy sort of sandalwood.

@chrisjohnnick and yes I definitely check out Fragrantica, if anything just to read the crazy ass, quasi-literary reviews people leave. Friggin kills me.

This is a fun thread. I’m a total fragrance nut and have a shitload of stuff, but I’m super picky. Anything aquatic or with that sort of base that all of the “mall-y” colognes tend to have (ambroxan?) makes me wanna take ten showers, but anything kind of woody, herbal, and out of the ordinary usually grabs my attention. Always have loved CDG (Wonderwood and Monocle Hinoki especially), and other faves are La Curie, DS & Durga, Slumberhouse, and Kerosene, off the top of my head. And Blackbird out of Seattle has always been a huge go-to for me. Lately pretty in love with their Moto Oud.

@jdwaid @Mizmazzle much appreesh, y'all

@68degreesorless Common One is also a cool record. Plus not sure if you've ever checked out his early stuff with Them, but it's awesome for a bit of perspective / history. You might recognize this sample:

Love these and am debating picking one up... only real reservation is the indigo transfer factor. I wear black tees like 90% of the time, but I wouldn't really wanna have to worry about it if I wore something lighter. Can anyone speak to how much it transfers?

@Matt I logged in just to like this.
