Search Results: notice about me

I got into perfumes at a young age, I loved trying different notes, explored all olfactory families, decided which ones were my favourites! and even though I have a signature scent, I always enjoy testing new releases, recognising scents and individual notes, appreciate the overall scent and how I feel about it on me or on others, I always get compliments on perfumes I’m wearing and get asked what I’m wearing atm…

I find it sad and annoying how most boutique separate men and women perfumes with men’s section being a shelf or 2, and a repeat of the same notes; even though I love certain perfumes marketed for men I use them often and also get many compliments on them no one thinks they’re men’s perfume on me …

Also when travelling I always look for the best local brand to try, and I noticed that many Middle East countries don’t gender label their scents instead they separate by olfactive families, and that a lot of men aren’t as sensitive to gender labels on western brands hence if they like it they’d use it!

Anyways gender and age labels never made sense to me neither, with this said I always ignored labels such as “for her/him/ mature ….) I find those to be personal opinions that shouldn’t affect everyone!

I also love pretty bottle designs, but that doesn’t always mean you’d love the perfume just because you love the design and vice versa …


Does a perfume has a gender?
Do you agree with the advertised label by brands?
Would the bottle design discourage you from buying it even though you like the scent?
Are Florals for women?

I watched a couple of videos on YouTube and as a curious young woman I found a coupla comments which makes me question everything. I witnessed a female commentator arguing with a male commenter but I chose not to add fuel to the fire therefore leaving them alone. Is it true nerdy good girls who are average looking and has a kind heart not able to get more potential mates compared to a party girl who’s conventionally pretty but has unrealistic standards. She explicitly state men can have standards when it comes to women but when women have standards she called a gold digger, etc. Then he fought back ‘women like you said men’s height are a requirement but when we want women who are not fat y’all get mad.’ As for me I noticed there are some nerdy good girls able to get quality men who don’t care about looks. I keep my standards realistic and when it comes to height I prefer a guy to be around 2cm taller than me rather than 6-7 feet tall. He doesn’t need to be rich and he doesn’t need to be super hot. Thing is I’m afraid of meeting new people and avoid every volunteer and public meeting spaces hence why I’m still single because I’m too scared to have more friends. They say the only way to get a romantic partner is to meet new people but I refuse to do that hence why I’m single because I find single is easier and I hate changing my routines.

Honestly is it true women can’t have standards whereas men can have standards in society or am I wrong?

In January 2025 I was chatting to a man briefly on an app. I liked him and he suggested meeting up. Things were going fine, we talked about expectations etc. prior to meeting. He also mentioned that he’d had a stillborn baby in his last relationship. It left me speechless but I offered a lot of empathy. After that admission, he retreated a few days later and said he didn’t see us going anywhere, which contradicted everything we’d chatted about and our similar values.

Fast forward to September, he reached out again and we ended up chatting for a couple of months every day. He arranged a date with me. The pace was slower this time, we didn’t jump right into talking about the serious stuff. Consistency was there, he was incredibly kind. We met for the first date and it was nice. We laughed, he told me a little more about what he’s been through (loss of brother, rehab, stillborn baby, loss of partner, rehab and then turning his life around). We made physical contact and hugged and he told me I looked lovely. He arranged a second date before the first ended and I met him again. We chatted a bit more, not too much in-depth but enough for me to know he liked me. We admitted we liked and were attracted to each other. We hugged again and before that date was over he arranged the third. We met for our third and went to the cinema. When he said goodbye I could feel more closeness in his hug and goodbye. This time he never arranged a fourth date.

I noticed more intimacy in his replies after this date and he said he hadn’t been sure whether to kiss me. I said I was happy for that to unfold naturally. But after the kiss question? I noticed a slight stall, things weren’t moving. When I asked if he still had time for dating, he deflected the question back to me and side-stepped. Basically saying we’d been busy and that distance doesn’t help along with us not being ‘excited’ to talk to each other. A bizarre reply, because it contradicted his actions completely.
