Interesting take on the clone debate
https://youtu.be/UcMW8Ar6Yfs?si=YTQ5jWx5xHGfllFk This might be a little bit of a tough watch, because she is not as dynamic as a lot of other reviewers, and her accent and tone can be a little, tough to understand, but she has some excellent insight and points. Well worth the time to watch, or at least listen to in the background. She is incredibly well researched and knows her stuff,

@Eduardo Figueroa Her point was that the 10% is more than just the proprietary notes that are copyrighted and exclusive to the original perfumer. But moreso that it's the psychological effect that the price tag has on the subconscious. That the brain associates the higher price tag and the story behind the original with greater levels of pleasure and a certain amount of pride that you just can't replicate.

You’re right about that accent, though. She reminds me of the mother from Schitt’s Creek. I wonder where she’s from. And yes, I think if you looked up the stereotype for what a niche knob would look like, I think she would fit Bill. But she is incredibly educated, and I really liked her opinion.
SOTD: Carnival x Mith A Ferris Wheel Sunset.
A Ferris Wheel Sunset is one of those fragrances that instantly puts you in a relaxed, carefree mood. It captures the feeling of spending a warm evening at a seaside boardwalk as the sun slowly dips below the horizon. It’s bright, slightly sweet, airy, and comforting without ever becoming heavy. Rather than trying to be loud or overly complex, it focuses on creating an atmosphere—and it does that extremely well. The opening is fresh and uplifting with juicy citrus and fruity nuances that immediately feel vibrant. As it develops, the fragrance becomes smoother with soft florals and a gentle sweetness that reminds me of warm summer air. The dry down is clean, musky, and lightly woody, giving it a cozy finish that stays close to the skin while maintaining that sunset vibe from start to finish. Performance is good for this style of fragrance. I get around 6–8 hours of longevity, with moderate projection for the first 1½–2 hours before it settles into a pleasant personal scent bubble. The sillage is noticeable without overwhelming anyone around you. Best Seasons * Spring * Summer * Early Fall evenings Best Occasions This is perfect for casual outings, vacations, beach walks, date nights, outdoor dinners, or anytime you want something that feels effortless and uplifting. It’s easy to wear and hard not to enjoy. This isn’t a fragrance that’s trying to dominate a room. Instead, it creates a mood—warm, nostalgic, and peaceful. If you enjoy fragrances that transport you somewhere and make you smile every time you wear them, A Ferris Wheel Sunset is definitely worth experiencing. It’s one of those scents that reminds you fragrance isn’t always about making a statement; sometimes it’s simply about enjoying the moment. To me, A Ferris Wheel Sunset is definitely in the same general lane as Louis Vuitton L’Immensité. You get that fresh citrus, ginger, clean musk, and ambergris-type feel, but I would not say it is a one-to-one clone. L’Immensité smells smoother, richer, and more refined. A Ferris Wheel Sunset is a little brighter, sweeter, and more playful. It gives me a similar feeling, just in a more casual and affordable way.

Sounds really nice. For a minute I thought you were referring to Anecdote Carnival Day. LOL
Greek Fragrances?
I’ll be in Paris, Naxos, & Athens. Any fragrance shops or fragrances that are locally made that you would recommend? Any personal recs for food or things to see?

@Mark Link For me, the loukamades are a must. Especially in Crete with a cup of Elleniko Coffee Metrio. There are finer things in life, and that is one of them. Afterwards, the kafetzous will read your coffee grounds and tell you about the love and money coming your way.

@Mark Link I've been there! I love this store. it is one of my favorite books stores in the entire world, along with the Cafebrería El Péndulo Roma in Mexico City. Shakespear and Co is an absolute MUST if you are into books at all.
SOTD: Black Orchid EDP by Tom Ford 28/07/2026
This was my very first full‑size Tom Ford bottle, and easily the most expensive scent in my collection at the time. This was the big gun, kept strictly for special occasions and used sparingly. Here’s a fun fac some people might not know: it was originally launched back in 2006 as a women’s fragrance, crafted by perfumers David Apel and Pierre Negrin. It blew up so massively with men that Tom Ford rebranded it officially as unisex – and honestly, I’ve never once smelled it and thought “this is for ladies only”. Ignore the “Oriental Floral” label – this is dark, rich, heavy, and unapologetically powerful; a genuine masterpiece that stands entirely on its own. It opens with that famous, intoxicating blend of Black Truffle and Ylang‑Ylang, lifted gently by bright bergamot and bitter orange. Right behind it comes that mouth‑watering core: Black Orchid, Rum Absolute and Black Plum, thick, syrupy and seductive, before settling deep into earthy Patchouli, creamy vanilla and soft smoky incense that carries hints of dark chocolate. The florals are there, sure, but they never run the show – they just add depth and velvet to something that feels far wilder and more complex than any standard floral. There’s layer after layer here; I keep stopping to sniff my wrist as I write this and still pick up something new. Make no mistake – this one means business. It’s an absolute beast for performance: easily 8+ hours on skin, massive projection early on, and a trail people will remember long after you’ve left the room. A couple of spritz is plenty – overdo it and you’ll clear the building. It’s bold, polarising, and not for every occasion, but if you love scents with real weight and character? This is an addiction waiting to happen. And if the price tag is putting you off? There are some remarkably close dupes out there that capture that same dark magic for a fraction of the cost. But none will replace the original. My Rating 8.5 Scent 2.5 Longevity 2.5 Sillage 2.5 Y/N 1

This is my signature scent, or as close to it as I can say about nay fragrance I own. It is my hands down all time favorite, along with it's flanker Black Orchid Reserve. If I could only smell one way for the rest of my life, it would be like this.

@Carlos Palafox I would get out while you can. This sounds like a Ponzi scheme that's failing. You don't want to be the last one holding the bag.

"At least it's not drugs," I say to myself as I buy 37 fragrances with no shelf space and a tight budget. "At least it's not drugs..."
