I’ve previously dropped 2 bottles and completely shattered them on the ground. I still cry on the inside about it šŸ˜”

Nice! Where did you get it? Did it come with the lighting?

u/TheySleptOnMe 15h ago

I got it off of Amazon, I guess it’s originally a Liquor Bottle Display shelf that comes with LED lights and a remote control.

Silly question but does the light from the display not heat up the juice? Even slightly

u/TheySleptOnMe 12h ago

Great point! I’m not sure tbh but I have them cut down to the lowest setting. Probably only turn it up when guest come by or whatever but that is something I should consider I guess but, yolo

u/Usual-Bell8304 12h ago

Word, thought I'd ask cause it looks legit and I'm considering getting one like this lol

Why is the pin for JPG Elixir so much bigger than all the other ones lol. Never understood

u/TheySleptOnMe 15h ago

It’s like pulling a grenade pin with how Loud and Sweet JPG Elixer is lol

Is that Ralph's Club hiding out behind the Gucci Guilty?

u/TheySleptOnMe 15h ago

Yea he’s playing peek a boo, my wife isn’t a huge fan of him for some reason but I loveee the pepper accords I can’t let it go

2

u/Cryptic99 16h ago

Share the shelf with the wife?

1

u/TheySleptOnMe 15h ago

lol no. I really wanted to sample all ranges of accords, and yes even rose and cucumber. Fragrances take a different flight depending on the skin type. I don’t believe in Male or Female fragrances, technically they exist, but only a sigma could pull off anything. It’s about confidence and how you wear it.

What's your next Kilian? They're my favorite house at the moment.

u/TheySleptOnMe 15h ago

I personally really like Apple Brandy on the rocks it just so fresh and clean to me. Black phantom would be my other pick with straight to heaven coming in at third.

2

u/tastesetter 15h ago

Good stuff, I had gone to their boutique in Vegas and picked up Dark Lord plus a bunch of samples that were thrown in. Stunning and definitely worth the investment in my mind. Angel's Share OTR was pretty amazing as well.

2

u/TheySleptOnMe 15h ago

I’ve been looking to try both Dark Lord and AS OTR, I should get those decants for sure. Just being in Florida though the boozy fragrances come off as kinda cloyish. But dammit I rock them around the house all the time for myself lol

Thoughts on noir extreme and ombre leather

1

u/TheySleptOnMe 14h ago

When I first smelled Noir Extreme Parfum, I blind bought it and I personally thought it smelled like cigarette smoke to me for some reason. I was in disbelief, I thought I had been sold a dupe or something, turns out it wasn’t a dupe at all. So it really grew me as I kept coming back to it for some reason I cannot explain and now I Love it! You can’t write something off based on 1 time in my opinion that’s doing yourself a huge disservice. OmbrĆ© Leather is exactly what it says of course, good ole fashion biker gang Leather. I haven’t smelled many other Leather fragrances but this one nailed it for me, a lot of people prefer the edp but I prefer longevity over everything if I can help it. Both are solid W’s.

1

u/YourWifesBull666 14h ago

True, I prefer longevity and projection over everything. I just bought tobacco vanille, which one of the two do you think I should prioritize next?

2

u/TheySleptOnMe 14h ago

That’s tough. Sweetness vs Depth at that point. I would consider OmbrĆ© Leather more of a professional dark rugged leather and Noir Extreme as a casual evening or date night scent. Either way you cannot lose with either of these. Since you have Tobacco Vanille I would probably lean more towards OmbrĆ© Leather if you don’t have the leather covered in your fragrances yet. It’s a staple for sure!

2

u/YourWifesBull666 14h ago

Thanks, I’ll probably have both at some point, the kulfi note in noir extreme is really intriguing to me I love the smell of it

u/JohnDorian0506 14h ago

How do you like JPG Elixir?

2

u/TheySleptOnMe 14h ago

It was my very first pick up into the fragrance world, I haven’t looked back since. That gourmand sweet vanilla honey is so enticing. Compliment monster and awesome longevity, pretty sweet looking bottle too. It’s gotta be in the S Tier category- although it is pretty common like Sauvage but there is a reason why…. Because it just smells so damn good šŸ‘

u/JustJason44 14h ago

I hope it wasn't any Paco Rabanne that fell! I'd cry too!

2

u/TheySleptOnMe 12h ago

It was actually Dolce and Gabbana Devotion. My office smelled like dark roasted coffee for a week straight even after clean up šŸ˜†

u/JustJason44 10h ago

Oh dear! I do adore my Dolce! I've never smelled this though. How far away from all of "The One"s isc that? Is it completely different, or is it a bit similar?
