Kiles perfume oils

Greetings, citizens! I'm a writer, mostly freelance, but I've been working on my own setting for a while now. I've already described some of the basics of how my world is organized in the two posts on another subreddit, so I won't repeat them unnecessarily. Long story short: this is an alternate world that has deposits of metastable metallic hydrogen, concentrated at deep waters and in cold regions. Hydrogen, instead of oil, is the basis of the world's economy here, the corporations that have grown from its extraction and use have more power than governments. The political map of the world is different from our own, with different forces at play than we are used to.
The main setting is the city of Neone, located somewhere on the coast of the Balkan Peninsula. I won't specify a particular place or pick a certain country for its location. Instead, I will take some features from some various ones to add local flavor. As one of the largest trading hubs in the world, this city is very wealthy, but it's the kind of wealth that easily slips through your fingers. Everything is buying and selling here, and human life is just as much a bargaining chip. Life in Neone is determined by the actions that the Players, the main political forces in the city, take with one another. Relations between them can swing from friendship to hostility... Or sometimes a combination of both at the same time. So, here's a preliminary list of the ones I've already come up with:
CORPORATIONS:
Astara Industries is the “beauty industry” in all its forms. Silk and gold, perfume and cosmetics. Modeling, music, entertainment, plastic surgery, and escort services. Rumored to be involved in much darker affairs, but that doesn't stop a lot of young guys and especially girls from trying their luck and signing another cabal contract with Astara. The higher the ranks of their employees, the more the corporation seems to be a kind of cult that worships the very idea of beauty itself. Recently, this company has been investing colossal amounts of money into an ambitious project designed to stop aging and mortality.
Change Inc. is a pretty mysterious organization that primarily provides construction and design services as well as financial operations and data protection services. On deeper layers lies espionage and information trading to anyone who can offer a more interesting price for it.
Chapek's Clockworks is the other major robotics company that has dominated the market for quite a while. Now they are more famous for their retro designs and sponsorship of the theatrical scene.
Chimera Chemicals is a biochemical giant that once started out as a fertilizer manufacturer. Now they deal in just about everything chemical related, including weapons, and also sponsor gene modifications.
Dragonfruit Digital is a world famous software and electronics developer that was leading the market before the rapid... well, rise of Risen Robotics.
Friture Science is a food concern dedicated to the mission of feeding the world. In addition to natural products, they develop synthetic ones as well as a number of associated products.
Fortuna Fishing - seafood production in Neone coastal waters and also beyond and deeper. Some of the things they found deep in the waters made them a little bit... Well, superstitious.
Greenfield Gardens - Similar in many ways to the previous one, this company focuses on environmental protection and recycling methods. Owns many farms and gardens in the city and beyond. Genetic modifications, too.
Hecate Guaranty is a law and insurance company. Deals with all possible disputes of their clients, property issues, and more. When required and paid decently, can provide a person or group of people a new life and a new home.
International Inc. is the most boring company in the world. Originally a construction contractor they pioneered the technology of rapid modular building. Because of this, International Inc. quickly built up capital and influence by rebuilding cities after wars. Eventually they expanded into selling associated products and services, then logistics, recruiting personnel... And now International Inc. provides half of the world's products. Each of their products is completely featureless, but they get the job done at an acceptable price.
Keller & Crow is one of Europe's largest arms manufacturers, dating back to World War I, or maybe even earlier. Known for their high quality and appropriate prices.
Keller-Tec is, in more than one sense, a daughter corporation of Keller & Crow. It develops the most cutting-edge custom weapon and gear systems. It works closely with Risen Robotics and actively funds the Fountain of Good.
Kiki Courier Company is a network of independent couriers working through the app. Moving around the roofs of Neone, they are able to deliver a small cargo personally in their hands for those who don't trust big companies.
Matsubayashi Motors is a Japanese vehicle manufacturer. Raised on defense contracts, they now make anything that can carry a human in it, from scooters and cars to aircraft and bolides.
MOLOT manufactures is another major arms manufacturer in Europe. In fact a franchise that sells to factories around the world the rights to produce copies of their world famous models. Their designs are a bit crude, but reliable and durable.
Poseidon's Possibilities - A marine transportation company that plays an important role in city and global shipping. Considering the high risk of piracy, possess pretty good assets to protect themselves, and sometimes execute third-party orders in coastal zones.
Risen Robotics is one of the world's important corporations. Creating innovative neural chip technology, Risen Robotics quickly earned financial and political capital and aiming for more. They were the first to commercialize a truly cheap and mass-produced android called the Peacebringer, and these robots can be seen in the military, security companies, and even as security guards in the market and malls and as bouncers in nightclubs. Building its influence, Risen Robotics aims to actively bring its tech into the lives of everyone in the world... And then their gaze will be directed higher into the skies and to the stars.
Royal Arms - Once a major weapons company, they are now more focused on the civilian market and support tools. Their high-precision tools and cybernetic limbs are widely used in civilian and military markets, as well as the medicine and even space industries.
Strigoi Sovereign is a company with a long history of working with private customers. They originally focused on hunting and harvesting of high-value resources, but gradually expanded. Nowadays, they are known for their customized combat enhancements, whether it be tough training and gear customization as well as biological, chemical, and cybernetic enhancements. Among all forms of payment, they prefer transactions in precious metals.
Van Nueve Innovations is another deep genetic research company. After their role in human trafficking and criminal experiments was revealed, their assets were mostly shut and sold down. Now their stuff keeps popping up on the black market - though, in this city, the difference between the regular and black market is barely noticeable.
Vulcan Weaponry is another firearm company with a long history, with a good reputation for their trusted builds, high quality and classy designs. Among the mercenary world, their weapons and equipment is considered indicators of prestige and good taste.
PRIVATE MILITARY COMPANIES:
Deepwater is a notorious American PMC with a well-deserved dirty reputation. Their Sigma division deployed in Neone has been caught in the middle of scandals more than once.
FIREBIЯD - Russian PMC, looking after order in and around Neone. Having a small size they are all carefully selected by their leader and follow him into both fire and water.
Ryujin - Japanese PMC, which has a good social image and actively finances all kinds of entertainment.
Schwarzwald is a German PMC with a long-standing reputation and connections. It usually works for the benefit of Western European clients and has a long history of cooperation with the Keller family.
Keller's Claws is a passion project of Alex Keller, CEO of Keller-Tec. A small and elite female PMC, operating in the interests of their mistress or executing carefully selected contracts around the world.
This is not all PMCs in the city, but only those that are not directly linked to specific corporations that were listed above.
GANGS:
The Blazer is a broad and diverse group of radical anarchists. They are mostly drawn to the destruction of corporate property and speculation about “power of the people”, but some of their members are not averse to almost any type of work.
The Crooked Circle is another cult-like gang, or vice versa. They focus on collecting unique technology, but aren't particularly successful at it. But they're still alive and kicking, praying that their mechanical messiah will save them.
The Grey Court Syndicate is the largest criminal organization in the city, and one of the largest in Europe, maybe even in the entire world. Reminiscent of the classic Mafia. On one side they have the exterior gloss, protecting order and running legal businesses, but on the other side they have human and organ trafficking, prostitution and assassinations for hire. The Grey Court is one of the main sources of migrants in Neone.
The Himmelreich is a disorganized gang fighting for the “purity of humanity”. They oppose the very fact of existence of chimeras and cyborgs in this world. In fact are useful fools for the real Players in the city.
The Tulips are something between a gang and a religious sect. Spoken with Christian-like mottos, they attract beggars and cripples to their ranks, especially focusing on PMC veterans and former corporate workers, but in fact they accept all the desperate. They have squatted some ruins on the outskirts of the city, including the abandoned greenhouse that gave them their name. However... They are rapidly expanding their influence and their source of funding remains unknown.
OTHERS:
The City Council is the primary administration of the city. They manage, but they don't reign. They are a handful of exhausted clerks, doing the hard work that no one else accepted to do. Basically maintain the city's communications and keep the Players away from killing each other and too many ordinary citizens.
The Forge is a secret organization that exists for a very long time and runs deeply secured operations all over the world. They believe it's their duty to protect humanity from dangerous ideas, technologies, and obscure subjects such as [UNKNOWN]. Forge is often found to be a puppeteer, directing the actions of other Players or certain individuals.
The Fountain of Good is a globally respected charity organization primarily focused on orphanages. One of the few Players who maintains truly bright ideals. The children who grow up usually become corporate employees afterwards. Other Players fund them mainly to launder money, calm their karma and create a positive public image for themselves.
The Nuevians are a deep-covered organization slowly gaining influence in the city. They are led by an artificially created living entity known only as "The Queen" that seeks to bring prosperity to the planet. They have good intentions, but fear to repeat the fate of the Zero Cycle.
The Union of Nations Peacekeepers - maintaining a shred of peace in the aftermath of the Incident, a massive earthquake that recently struck Neone. Many urban areas have since descended into chaos and lawlessness, while others live as if nothing has happened or are experiencing minimal inconvenience. The competency of these soldiers is questionable and they are barely supplied.
The Volunteer Vanguards are an organization that maintains order in those Neone districts where the City Council or other Players do not. Generally a barely trained and armed militia, but there are some skilled veterans and former corporate workers in their ranks.
The Workers Ring is Neone's major blue collar association. They support city communications so they have a lot of influence. Individual members may or may not be involved in working for other Players and illegal activities. The second meaning of the "Ring" word is also utilized - many members of this community are known for their passion for arena fighting.
The Zero Cycle is a secret organization of intelligent machines once created by a rogue AI. Several Players united to destroy this threat, leading to the Incident. Now, shards of the Cycle's technology, superior to anything created by humanity, is the most valuable hunting treasure in Neone. Owning one of them means risking the lives of yourself and your loved ones, but that rarely stops hunters who desire wealth or driven by some personal reasons.
Well, that's the draft. Any ideas, suggestions, any other feedback?

I used to love Zara Femme (white bottle) but now the scent is not the one it used to be anymore. Anyway, as of now I'm on a heavy budget. So wanted to know, can we use Vanilla essence/ Vanilla oil as a perfume?? Any recommendations?

The oil smells delicious but the perfume smells weird. It doesn’t smell like chocolate. It smells like screechy chemicals. Anyone else have this issue?

Recently visited one in my cousin's hometown. The shop had lot of glass bottles with oil in it. And each bottle is clone of some popular fragrance like BDC, ADG etc. They had many such bottles. 5 ml pure oil for 50rs or something. And 30 ml perfume of same oil is about 300 rs. So I bought couple of dupes of which I have the original ones. And they smell very similar. Performance is also not bad considering its price. And if you compare with perfumes from brands wild stone, these clones are much much better. So from where do they get these oils? And how come they are so cheap? Also why can't companies like wild stone make non synthetic smelling perfumes at same price?

This list is very ymmv for tret veterans. But for those starting out on tret who are wondering which ingredients may not mesh well with it, here's a pretty specific list of skincare ingredients you may want to watch out for. (This just refers to ingredients in products you use at the same time as tretinoin).

Avoid the use of other retinoids, AHAs (glycolic acid, lactic acid, and mandelic acid), BHAs (salicylic acid), benzoyl peroxide, PHAs and LHAs, clindamycin, adapalene, chemical peels, balsam of Peru (myroxylon pereirae), cinnamic aldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, hydroxycitronellal, isoeugenol, eugenol, oak moss absolute, oil of bergamot, alpha-amyl cinnamic aldehyde, geraniol, linalool, lavender, perfumes, toilet water (perfumed water), colognes, masking perfumes, unscented perfumes, aroma chemicals, essential oils, cassia oil, cinnamon, cloves, citronella, ethylene bassylate, sweet orange, sweet basil, citrus lemon peel, limonene, spearmint, and menthol at the same time when applying Tretinoin.

The person who made the list simply expanded on the warning in the tretinoin instructions. The instructions are:

Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, it is especially important to avoid using the following skin products on the same area as tretinoin: Any other topical acne product or skin product containing a peeling agent(eg, benzoyl peroxide, resorcinol, salicylic acid, or sulfur).

Some of ingredients listed above fit into these categories. Others are common allergens or fragrant ingredients or astringents.
If you are trying to find a moisturizer to layer with tret or tazorac, perhaps it would be helpful to avoid these ingredients if possible.
That said, many people do just fine layering tret with acids and other ingredients on this list. If you do, no worries.
But the list works for me as a good guideline whenever I consider introducing any new products to layer with tret or tazorac.

I love the clean, almost shampoo-y smell of Essie's apricot nail and cuticle oil. Every time I put it on, I can't stop huffing my nails, and I'd absolutely love a perfume with a similar vibe for everyday wear. I think the notes are fruity/floral. It's delicate, clean, and no-fuss. It smells like the universally pleasant smell after you wash your hair with many popular drug store shampoos.
Can anyone recommend perfumes that smell similar? Cruelty-free brands are preferred.
Here are some scents in my collection that have a similar vibe to what I'm looking for:

• Fine'ry: Flower bed
• Floral Street: Sweet almond blossom

Here's the ingredient list in the Essie cuticle oil: Runus armeniaca kernel oil / apricot kernel oil, simmondsia chinensis seed oil / jojoba seed oil, tocopheryl acetate, parfum / fragrance, phenoxyethanol, caprylyl glycol, hexyl cinnamal, helianthus annuus seed oil / sunflower seed oil, benzyl alcohol, ci 75120 / annatto, limonene, tocopherol.
Edit: Budget isn't a huge factor since I always buy decants first and luckily prefer 10 mL travel bottles to full-sized :)

I’m kind of new to perfumes and I just bough Billie no 2 and I am obsessed with it! I just was wondering if you guys could recommend me any layering products like lotions/oils/body washes to go along with it. Thank you :)

Hello,
I am trying to destash my entire collection, because I ultimately discovered I prefer EDPs. All oil bottles are 5 euros, and there are two EDPs from Solstice Scents that I didn't enjoy as much as I thought I would: Estate Spirits for 45 euros, Estate Lavender for 40 euros. Almost all labels are smudged, so sorry for that, hence the low price.
The total is 285, but if you take everything I can lower it up to 200. I prefer that someone takes it all, so I will prioritize that.
It's perfect for beginners because it has more classic perfume notes, so you can learn about florals, resins and others. The shipping would start at 17 euros, but it will vary according to the destination.
Here is my destash .
Have a good day!
ETA : labels are smudged
