👍 thank you!
When I die I hope it’s doing 2 of my favourite activities- sitting and doing nothing.

👍 thank you!
This is going to be a long comment… 😀
All time favourite note is probably Jasmine, but not a nice fresh Jasmine, something a bit more indolic and sultry. Also I like Vanilla, but again not sweet, a proper vanilla pod scent with something mixed in to make it interesting (Mona di Orio has a beautiful Vanilla fragrance that also has boozy notes of Rum, Orange and Wood- she envisioned a trade ship carrying them as goods when creating it)
Also I love Labdanum, it helps to form the back bone of ‘Oriental’ perfumes. It lasts for ever and is deep and rich. Plus Mimosa, but so far only in Frederic Malles Une Fleur de Cassie- it is glorious with a underlying something. In a review someone said it was like a beautiful garden, full of flowers with a dead body buried in it! I think you can probably sense a theme that I don’t like pretty fragrance, I like something a bit dark and skanky…
I also love the smell of soil, CBIhatePerfume has a great one called Wild Hunt, it smells exactly like a resinous pine forest, complete with damp soil and mushrooms. He doesn’t create ‘normal’ perfumes, they’re more like entire sensory experiences that transport you elsewhere. Patchouli is another favourite, it’s grassy and slightly chocolatey too. Musks are another some can be gloriously filthy!
Favourite perfumes…? There are so many to choose from! I have probably around 100 different one by now, some are decants and large sample sizes (which makes it more affordable) others are full bottles purchased when the £ was stronger than the Euro, and before Brexit…
I have favourite perfume houses, including Frederic Malle (his perfumes are amazing and use quality ingredients and lots of natural oils), Serge Lutens (his fragrances tend to be dark and opulent- checkout his website for some French Gothic fun), Guerlain is a really old perfume house their La Art et La Matiere line is wonderful. Also Parfums d’Empire, Mona di Orio, Sonoma Scent Studio, Papillon Perumes… Chanel Exclusifs and some Dior
Me and the bf are intending to visit Paris soon, I can guarantee we will be our respects to Serge Lutens Boutique and Maison Guerlain!
edit…I forgot Rose, Ylang, Incense, Sandalwood, some Ouds…the list is endless
Also changed ‘les exclusifs’ to ‘La Art et La Matiere’
There are several active and very passionate communities online including Fragrantica and Basenotes…things can get incredibly nerdy when discussing perfume, believe it or not 😀
There’s also a fragrance community here on lemmy but I think it’s all but dead now…
As a perfume nerd I’d love to know what this smells like, and when it’ll be used to create a new niche fragrance
That’s really lovely! Are you still friends or in contact with them today?
I was taken under the wing of a motherly school friend after I was ostracized and bullied by previous ‘friend’ group…I got my diagnosis 30+ years later
I don’t normally comment on news posts, but in this instance, FUCK CANCER
Fuck cancer for stealing my brother from me, and for taking half my bf’s lung
I seriously hopes this works for everyone out there living with this disease, and for their families, friends, the people who love them…
…and also for everyone who has died too soon and missed their chance for survival. Their donation of tissue samples and furthering the cancer research that ultimately wouldn’t help them, but will help the poor bastards that are diagnosed today and in the future…It is bitter sweet
Fuck cancer
Cheers!
Seconding the massage gun, I had terrible muscle pain around my knee for over a year and after using one it went. I nearly fell off the bed as there wasn’t any pain. I’m now trying to loosen up the ligament/tendon around the knee and in my hip as it’s still tight…It’s really nice to be able to go on a long walk and not be in pain or having to use sticks when going downhill
I know I may sound like an Amazon review, but the difference is amazing, and also reassuring as I thought I would be heading over hill into pain and general decrepitude…I’m also using it to loosen up the bf’s knotty shoulders and bad back
I like how it’s reflecting the clouds, crane and orange ‘panels’
I feel your pain lol, I go out and take loads of photos, then have to wade through them to find maybe one half decent one…it’s a journey though, and a bit of fun!
Thanks for the info!
The other photos you’ve posted are also really good, especially the boat, the colour really pops and I love the water…I’m looking forward to seeing more of your back catalogue 👍
I actually like the background looking like that…I just have issues with the mug, I’m finding the reflective surface it’s sitting on is more interesting tbh
Hi, nice photo…I was thinking originally ‘ceiling tiles’ but I’m now thinking it’s something much, much smaller…? What am I looking at?
Also, I’ve cross posted this to abstract photography, with a link to your original post and credit
I thought this was a linocut or pencil drawing in the thumbbail, very nicely done black and white photo
Post your photos anyway, I still have ‘pending subscriptions’ from a while ago on other communities, and it’s the first time it’s appeared for a user on one of mine. I still haven’t found a ‘accept subscriber’ button on the mod ‘tools’ I shall keep looking, and again please feel free to post your photos!
Hope you don’t mind me cross posting this to !abstractphotography
I’ve included a link to this post and credited you
Impressive photo btw, and really nicely executed
Yep, a link to the original post and your user details
I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve cross posted it to abstract photography
This is something that that bothers me… I joined lemmy.ml around 3 years ago as one of the pirate subs on reddit made a backup community there in case they were banned.
Fast forward to the api debacle, I started to use lemmy as a permanent alternative, and made 3 of my favourite art communities- abstract photography, collage and printmaking
It’s always been in the back (and sometimes the front of my mind) whether to move them elsewhere, partly because people commenting on their ‘blanket ban’ of lemmy.ml, and the fact that I sometimes feel that I’m on one of the ‘pariah’ instances.
It’s interesting reading the comments here, especially considering the art communities are laid back, without politics, and haven’t had any issues (so far)…
