I'm thinking about coppin this
Don't get me started. In the time that I started getting serious about my fragrance game I've seen plenty of brand new houses change $400 bucks out the gate.
Mind Games is the perfect example. Never heard of them but then they're everywhere. Nothing is known about the house other than they have a chess theme right after the movie with that weird looking white girl.
Parfums de Marly - from jump you could get those joints for like half off if you knew where to look, and then everyone became a PDM rep selling for 40 cents on the dollar. Creed too!
Things actually do have an intrinsic value, a value of utility. And most things that are necessary - the price is governed by supply and demand but they're still relatively cheap. Water, food, shelter from the elements. These days adequate clothing as well.
With proper distribution, and a focus on absolute needs, everyone on the planet could live a decent life.
But.....
Perception equals price extends to pretty much every product.
And it's the created/engineered gap that's played against the psychological makeup of the human mind that has created the problem.
When we smell freshly baked cookies, the salivary glands automatically start watering.
Make toys colorful, and kids want them.
Feed chickens marigold extract and their yolks are more vibrant. Different feed gets brown shelled eggs, no change in nutrition or flavor.
Grey farmed Salmon? Use red dye.
Play classical music in jewelry store and people buy more and for higher prices.
And they make us want things.
We can make you pay more for things with some value or no value.
Diamonds are not rare.
Expensive Lexus parts usually have the same part number as the Toyota parts - and both are usually made in plant NOT owned by Toyota.
Tesla is worth more than Toyota just off of hype. Dude just says stuff and his networth increases overnight. He just talks.
Most Trader Joe's food is made in the same places that mass market food is made in, sometimes it's the European mass market.
People pay more for made in Italy, so Chinese manufacturers open factories in Italy. They still use highly skilled, even better than the Italians, but pay them illegal wages.
Made in America usually means most of the work is done someplace else, and American hands will add some other part that "substantially" changes the product, but the change is never substantial.
Most IG baddies are not nearly as attractive or real as they advertise.
Females think billionaires are gonna be like 50 Shades of Grey - but Epstein is showing everyone that they're weird and very dull and have no game.
A lot of actual fashion models look weird in person, because just taking a photo distorts the way they look in favorable ways, even more then makeup and Air brushing.
Honestly females in general..... The sex is rarely as good as you imagine and the relationship is often much worse than you can bear.
Most high prestige jobs are not as well paying as they look, the work isn't as glamorous, but may be easier than many realize.
Banksy is making millions off stencils.
And the kicker - most people deep down know that they are not getting what they pay for ... And realize it early on, often right after purchase.
Yet we have an economy, a country, a culture, a world built on creating demand for unnecessary things.
How much better off would the world be without the powers that be manipulating us to want more than the essentials, to never play status games?
Status is mostly an illusion, as is money and wealth and power.
Scent of the day - Tobacco Oud that I had to source from Harrod's in London because it's no longer sold in the states.
I guess clones exist for it, but I'd never know
Not at all, they were very helpful and gave me different products to try.
But GIT, BDP and Aventus are serious fragrances.
finally smelled the new polo 67 extreme, its on my hand rn. opening smells like pineapple and makeup. something off and fake about it I assume is the caramel. but the whole dry down smells like platinum egoiste to me. I mean exactly like it. a younger version. not bad but I'd never cop
This was me right after I bought TF Oud Wood. Amazing fragrance but terrible performance.
I’m still pissed about it till today lol.
These Creed fragrances I’ll cop next though
(Aventus, GIT, BDP)Can’t wait
with Tom ford I found a a lot of em u have to take a hot shower put a layer of baby lotion on or whatever lotion u useThis was me right after I bought TF Oud Wood. Amazing fragrance but terrible performance.
I’m still pissed about it till today lol.
These Creed fragrances I’ll cop next though
Can’t wait
And then follow it up wit the cologne
Biter peach bois pacifique black orchid and vanilla sex good without the lotion on me
But tobacco oud tobacco vanille lost cherry .. fougare and that oud wood I gotta put the lotion on prior
And that Muhfukka projects…all day and night
