Now that the Rescented app has launched an Android counterpart and has had some time to gain some exposure among fragrance lovers, I want to gather some true sentiments from those who have seen and/or used it. Despite the fact that there are a few safety components incorporated into the design, does it measure up to the hype? Is there an adequate offering of a variety of fragrances that would support a broad customer base? From what I have seen, the merchandise seems to be moving at a very slow pace. The same few items remain on the site because the price points are too high. Conversely, I have an Amouage fragrance that is reasonably priced below the original retail price for which I paid, yet the only offers I have received are ridiculously low, and I'm certainly not going to give away a full bottle of a niche fragrance of that caliber. What has been your experience if any? Do you see this platform growing into the future? How can it improve? Thoughts?

The winner was Sahare by Bvlgari, and I was surprised that I had started to enjoy Blue Sapphire much more than expected.

Introduce yourself and level-up, it's that simple! You'll get at least 5 likes (oftentimes more!) which will move you to level 2 and on your way to level 3 (these levels give you access to prizes!). What to say in your intro? Share where you're from, your reason for joining, your profession, perhaps your favorite fragrance or a picture of your entire collection!

One day I literally woke up and decided I was interested in fragrances. I couldn't explain it to save my life and it was completely inconsistent with anything else I have ever done or any other interest I had in my life. I really don't know what drove me here. This morning I was watching one of the 3 dozen YouTube influencers that I subscribe to and this recent video was LOADED with very interesting information including an explanation as to why I'm suddenly into frags. Because I'm a type 2 diabetic, the docs have got me on a GLP. Studies are starting to surface showing that GLP users are now using frags as a substitute for things like food very often. I think this guy's video is very interesting and he covers other things too. IMO it's worth spending 20 minutes to watch. https://youtu.be/R0CujcVCREg?si=Uu4tiQHG7xTiKD6D

For me, Valentino's Born in Roma Extadose wins by far. It a simple and addictive scent that is great for layering, and suitable for every season. Lavender and wood, with sweet and spice It plays well with others. If you like layering, and experimenting, Extradose is simple but loud, it last long, projects well, and is a compliment getter. I like using it as a base and adding a shot (or 2) of something else. (Coral fantasy and Dylan Blue are nice partners, but PdM's Layton seems a particularly special friend of Extradose... 3 shots of Extradose, 1 shot of Coral Fantasy, and 1 shot of Layton is my secret formula.) What scent did you use most this year, and why?
