Pretty safe and reliable, good pickup. And yes, the money burning is real, hence why I went to more clones/dupes to atleast make it a slow(er) burn. The good thing is these basically don't go bad if stored properly and I generally only buy big bottles of stuff I know i'll be wearing for years...

I did learn something interesting about Montagne. Most of their stock issues are around times where specific ingredients may not be in-season, similar issues big name brands have. The big difference with his brand compared to other clone houses is they get the core base/foundation and...

My newest pickups: 1. Amber Elixir - Based on Clive Christian 'Blonde Amber'. I would say it is 90% to the original and about $500 less expensive. This is a very complex and should be an amazing fall/winter fragrance, especially for date nights. This dupe has just slightly more amber than the...

Haven't really had a bad Givenchy yet. I still remember the days of being in middle school/high school and always wearing GIvenchy 'Pi'. Such a great introduction to the brand.

You will not like Montagne if you care about bottle design. They are very 'Replica' (brand) -like, just a simple bottle with a white label of the name and scent notes. They are only only 50mL, so designing a bottle for that size really isn't a good business decision in general as it would...

Joma has been great. Usually ships next day and I have it to my door within 2-3 days. Packaging is fine, everything comes in the retail boxes aswell. I've ordered about 20 fragrances from them without issue and generally cheaper than anywhere else. I personally prefer Huge Boss 'Boss Bottled...

Fall/winter scents are my favorite. I am a huge fan of Huge Boss ‘Bottled Absolu’ (almost niche-like), Azzaro 'The Most Wanted' Parfum, Armani Code Parfum, PDM Layton/Althair, Ralph's Club Parfum, Spicebomb Extreme, Givenchy, Tobacco Vanille, Valentino frags. Basically the stereotypical...

Anyone have a set of sorc gloves with +frozen orb? Having 0 luck getting one to drop or gambling for one.

Angelbreath are the mats I am always low on personally. What is this helltide glitch for them?

That was my issue too, but Tibaults + Metamorphosis aspect + Hunter Zenith and it becomes more manageable for Tornado build until you get a bunch of resource gen, spirit per sec, resource cost reduction and a lot of masterworking. Still felt much worse than what I remember in earlier seasons...

Will be interesting once they nerf that potion as to what the meta will be. Still think Necros will be #1 though.

Valid point! Double the size, double the pixels = more $$ to make.

Played a Druid (played a druid for S1) and they feel awful this time around. Massive spirit management issues with WereNado (I am still not 100 though, but I didn't run into this type of issue in S1 playing WereNado), Lightning Storm hits a brickwall in early Pit from what I am reading, and...

I have summer tires on mine but I do live in a place that gets some snow/ice (just not super often or in large quantities) so i'll likely just go all-seasons (blasphemous, I know). Likely the tried-and-true Michelin AS4+ or Continential DWS06+. We've just been having "good" winter weather here...

Agreed; getting rid of buttons sucks but most of the time I am not really needing to touch anything anyways. I basically set my car temp once and rarely ever change it throughout the year. I have it set to automatically turn on heated or cooled seats pending the temperatures so I dont really...
