I need help finding a fragrance and I don’t necessarily know what I’m looking for in terms of scent but let me describe the thought I want to evoke by scent alone (lmao) :

I want to smell like a pretty boy in a nicely tailored suit in like 1960s Europe in a smoky jazz bar smoking a cig and drinking a nice whiskey

So I definitely lean more toward cologne and I do not like smelling sweet or delicate I def want it to be masculine and I have a scentbird and I buy random things that seem appealing as I find them but everything I’m finding is soooooo sweet

My current go-to is to layer an APO Givenchy Gentleman dupe and Maison Margiela Jazz Club and that’s nice but it isn’t exactly what I want

If you know fragrance pls help a gal out bc I’m going crazy looking through forums and I’m so clueless

“Let us, my cherished cognoscenti, traverse the boundless meadows of possibility, where the perennial wellspring of genius awaits our embrace. May offers the genesis of our creative rebirth, unfurling the tapestry of genius with each step we take. Let us dare to dance upon the precipice of brilliance and unveil the treasures that lie within.”

― Dr. Tracey Bond

We Irish are more than folks songs and whiskey

Too often Ireland is rendered as a reductive and clichéd version of a country that, like all nations, has its nuances, contradictions and dualities, writes Aine Greaney.
