So I recently bought the discovery set Maison Crivelli offers as I’ve never smelled any of their fragrances, but yet I’ve heard great things about them. On the initial smell test of all of them, I thought they were okay, nothing to write home about EXCEPT ONE. Tubereuse Astrale…. I can’t even put into words how amazing this fragrance is. Fragrances don’t usually knock my socks off as I’m very picky and know my palette, but this fragrance is absolutely amazing. Main accords: floral, sweet, leathery,spicy, and creamy. Performance lasts for hours, much longer than Creed but not longer than a YSL or DS and Durga. Also, I have a lot of niche fragrances that have garnered compliments, but this is easily my most complemented fragrance from the janitor at my office, to the woman at the cash register at my gas station, to the majority of women I walk past at work. This fragrance is ELITE. As for the other fragrances, like I said earlier, I found them okay… the Oud Stallion, which is touted as one of their leading scents, was….okay…just okay. To be fair, I did not test them out on my skin; I tried them on test strips, so I might feel different about them on skin…. I’ll see as I cycle through the set.

I’m 30 years old and have had ADHD for most of my life, but I only recently went to a professional about it. In conjunction with ADHD, I grew up with anxiety and a bad stutter. Fast forward to March of this year, I start taking Vyvanse, and my life has drastically changed. My focus has improved, but the change I notice most is VIRTUALLY NO ANXIETY. It feels so surreal. Things I would excessively worry about for no reason I no longer worry about, and my stutter is essentially gone… it’s so crazy. I just moved up from 30mg to 40mg, and my life has been so much better. I can get work done easily at work without any issues, I can read and comprehend multiple books in a day, my thoughts are easier to manage, and I don’t feel the anxious compulsion to hold on to any one thought if I think it’s negative. I’m just grateful for this experience and the opportunity to feel this way. The ripple effect is crazy, because my cognitive function is sharpened, every other facet of my life has improved so much. It almost doesn’t feel real… I wish I had this in college. I swear to God I would be working for SpaceX or some shit right now haha… better late than never. The only negatives I’ve experienced so far is dry mouth, periodic dizziness (doesnt happen a lot) and I can’t indulge in soda as much as I would like to as apparently the acidity alters the effect of the medicine. Which sucks cause I’m a committed coke and Dr Pepper drinker 😂😂. Everything else has been great.

I see a lot of outrage on this subreddit but I haven’t had a chance to look into it because I’m swamped at work what’s going on ? I’m studying for the RHCSA currently and have no other red hat certs… what has changed that’s making folks upset ?
