And no shade to anyone who still uses it, of course. I’m just personally going to stop using it. It’s been a tremendously helpful site that I used for a while, ever since a friend recommended it to me, and I’m glad i had it at all, i would never have mastered and memorized so many formulas and notes without it, but as of now, i’m going to be deleting my account and switching to something new. The main reasons stem from a few things, the main one being that I feel like a huge portion of the community is quite toxic, and another really kind of… unserious if you understand what i mean? There’s nothing wrong with humor and fun, perfume enthusiasts shouldn’t be a bunch of snobby stiffs 😭, but it feels like there’s more trolling and juvenile internet humor that’s taking it over. Also i don’t think the note breakdowns are all that accurate. They’re not off the walls wrong, but because the notes are voted by community and put in, without any real verification on accuracy, it can end up risking misinformation or getting the wrong thing, which I call the Wikipedia risk. If you want a good example of this, go to the note breakdown for Club de Nuit Bling. Enough said. Another reason as to why I’m not using this, and I say this carefully, and you’ll see why… is because of their stances. Now, I have no issue with people having their own political beliefs, including ones I might not align with, or ones that I do. Everyone does, we all have our own agreements and disagreements, and it’s fine. But Fragrantica, as well as their admins and users have been getting a bit politically outspoken, and those statements are mixing into the community on there. Not even just that, they’ve began to block or filter out opinions they don’t like or agree with. Now while I don’t entirely like the idea of just unchecked political opinions being strewn about, on either side, if you’re going to start suppressing one side of opinions, do so to the other side. Politics do not belong in a hobby like this. Period.

Hey guys Joe A here with today's scent of the day, Day 278: Sawtooth by Duke Cannon. It's a fresh woody masculine profile built around airiness, cedarwood, amber and clean musk. If you like clean, rugged, easygoing woody scents with an outdoorsy cedar-and-amber feel, this one is worth checking out. First sniff: like flirting with Luann in the hardware store.

Nomad is an Oriental Woody Extrait de Parfum, launched in 2025 & created by perfumer Jordi Fernández . It’s part of the Dubai‑based French Avenue line (a sub brand to Fragrance World) My first impression: it doesn’t smell like a cheap clone; it has a distinct “sea‑spice‑amber” identity that feels like a modern travel scent. Itsqfresh, salty, warm, and never boring. It’s not trying to be a copy of one thing, more a hybrid with its own vibe. The note pyramid is clean, with a Saffron & Lemon opening. Its bright, zingy citrus with rich, golden saffron, no harshness, just an expensive‑looking spicy‑citrus opening. The core has Marine notes & White flowers, for a clean, salty mineral freshness that's balanced with soft, creamy white florals; it never smells “soapy,” just like ocean breeze mixed with subtle elegance. At the Base: Vanilla, Cypriol, Amber & Patchouli add a smooth, slightly smoky earthiness. Not sure what it's trying to copy, I was expecting an ombre dupe perhaps, but you quickly realize it ain't that. Performance is okavour4hrs on skin, it projects well for about 90m. A solid, unique workhorse if you like salty‑spicy‑amber scents. My rating 5.5/10 Scent 1.5 Longevity 1.5 Sillage 1.5 Y/N 1
