Ouch! Not a fan of leather, plum, tobacco, and the smell of the universe's inexorable march to heat death?
Ouch++;
@PorkButtsNTaters666 Entropy Man’s fragrance stumped me for the first couple of uses, then I had an “aha” moment with it. Now it is a scent I need to have available.
Plus, @djundjila and I think it is Sri’s nod to Boltzmann; literally the entropy man. I chatted for a while with Sri at the Maggard Meetup but forgot to ask him about this. At some point I will.
@djundjila mentionned it was sweet, but Ididn't expect this kind of scent 🤷
I enjoy Narcisse by Le Père Lucien, which is also based on tobacco, but it's a much more floral take. I'll see what the future brings
I agree. The plum note in the scent was a stroke of genius IMHO.
That must be the scent bothering me 🤣
But I very much like the base, and maybe the scent will grow on me (inch'allah)
Do you like Cerberus? I think they go well together
I don't have it 🤷
Want a smush?
Absolutely! Do you still have my address?
PMed
I can't find the PM in Jerboa, I'll check later in the browser
I PMd you on signal :) Lemmy PMs are terrible.
If you link a matrix.org account to your lemmy account, then the "secure pm" feature works super well, though.
