...It might be easier to think of it as an idiom of sorts to come out of AAVE.  As someone who often "code switches" and occasionally uses AAVE, referring to something as OG makes sense, so long as it isn't taken literally.  We also say things like, "Don't throw out the baby with the bath water."  No one means that literally (I hope).

...I followed the siren call of my local Burlington. I couldn't resist picking up 78 Vintage Green and Linen Vetiver. They're nice fresh scents for warmer weather.

...Guerlain Angelique Noire and Tableau de Parfums Loretta are tied for the most I've paid for a fragrance.  Guerlain Parure is priced the highest, though I picked it up in a thrift store for about $5.  The owner said it stunk and she was glad to get rid of it.

...Honestly, I'm too fickle to narrow it down, but I always come back to Fendi Fantasia, a floral green vanilla.

...lovely, Exciter76.  If you have not done a review for us yet, I hope you will do.  😃Yes, I agree it is a roll of the dice on eBay.  I have had...

...@Oriane wow, that's a big ol' YIKES!  I know when I order off of eBay I'm rolling the proverbial dice.  It doesn't stop me but you're absolutely right.Speaking of rolling the proverbial dice, I ordered a used bottle of #Guerlain With Love a few months ago from eBay.  The price was good, and it's a less revered Guerlain I'd sampled long ago and enjoyed.  I'm looking forward to using it as the weather warms up.

...I fell head over heels in love with Olympic Orchids' take on chocolate: California Chocolate and Seattle Chocolate. Both are dark chocolates: California Chocolate has a nice, tart orange and Seattle Chocolate is a unique mix of inky dark green moss and dark chocolates. I crave both when I want a substantial chocolate fragrance.Amour de Cacao and Serendipitous are straightforward chocolate fragrances. If you want a very affordable option that satisfies, try Choco Musk Perfume Oil.

...I prefer my patchouli to be gourmand—sweet is nice but not required:L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme Eau de Parfum, Pleasures Delight, Oui Plus!, Black Orchid Voile de Fleur, La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum, I Love New York for Holidays, Shalimar Parfum Initial and so on.

...With the exodus from *that other site*, I'm seeing a shift in the forum. You guys are definitely breathing new life into the place. That's something worth celebrating.

...I'm wearing Encens Mythique. It feels very versatile and unisex. I get hints of a dry rose, subtle oud, and something akin to dryer sheets. It's oddly clean and beautifully filthy, simultaneously. I'd love to smell this on a man.

...and in all honesty, when you first understand the language of Parfumo and the functions... it is MUCH better than Fragrantica! 🥰But welcome, Exciter76!...

...Hey!  Thank you guys for having this discussion regarding the souk.  I've tried swapping using the souk function but there weren't enough Americans to make a deal.  I'm learning with you guys! 😁

...StaciaSadly, I find myself still checking Fragrantica more often than I'd like, simply because there are perfumes I'd like to know about that have zero reviews here. And every time I find myself popping back over there I'm like UGH because the pages take forever to load (especially if you're on mobile... it'll just break the page instead of loading). Too many ads and shit crammed onto their pages. I wish I never had to go back but like I said,  some perfumes just don't have any info here (yet). Welcome!It's a group effort that will take time but I'm certain Parfumo will surpass Fragrantica in number of reviews.  I remember when Fragrantica had few to no reviews.  I'm moving my reviews from there to here.  If there's anything you've tried or something you own that's worth reviewing, please do!  As an added bonus, there's no balloon system to erase your reviews AND there's an option to have direct interactions with people regarding your review.  It's such a nice feature.

...I got Habit Rouge L'Eau as a belated birthday present last month. I love it so much.

...Also, @ChillScent, your observations would be best suited in a blog post.  You bring up many good points, but I don't know if you are looking to start a conversation or simply make a statement.

...OmnipotatoI think what you call "messy" is a good problem to have. I'd rather have too many perfumes to choose from than too few. I'd much rather be a perfume hobbyist now than, for example, in the 70s or 80s, when the internet didn't exist and the entire universe of fragrances to choose from was restricted to what they had in stock at your local department store. We are IN the golden age of perfumery.This is such a great statement.  I am so glad I'm a perfume enthusiast now, where any type of perfume is at my fingertips.  I remember a time when all that was available was whatever was being sold locally.  If I was lucky, a friend or family member would bring a perfume souvenir back from their travels, but that was rare.

...I moved it to "Perfumes & Brands" in hopes it will reach a broader audience.

...Lately, it's been Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spice body butter and scrub.

...I'm not a big fan of tea scents but I absolutely adore Tea for Two and Island Vanilla Perfume.
