I'm on an if you-like-this-house-you'll-love-that-house hunt! Did a bit of a deep dive comparing houses to my fave, Serge Lutens. Which of these would you put in the same league?
Are any of these genuinely comparable to SL, for instance in price, independence, strength of creative direction or scent profiles? And are there any you really wouldn't consider on their level in any sense?

Amouage
Andy Tauer / Tauer Perfumes
Etat Libre d'Orange
Frederic Malle
Keiko Mecheri
Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur
Nishane
Parfums d'Empire

Removed Escentric Molecules from list based on the great comment I received on the daily thread, I’ve posted it below for reference, thanks u/hyperfocus1567

Hi fraglovers, I‘m a fan of Serge Lutens, which other houses should I try? Like are there other perfumers you feel are in the same audacious lane ideologically and creatively and have similar price and quality? It’s not so much a particular scent profile and more other houses which are in a comparable creative niche that I’m keen to explore.

First congrats on stealing Real Madrid’s W the other day!

I’m a palace fan with a question about last year’s conference league final:

Did they check season tickets against ID on matchday to enter the stadium?

We’re part of a family group with season tickets and memberships. We want to sit together and since some season ticket holders from our group can’t come we are thinking of buying tickets for those with only memberships using the spare season tickets but worried that they’re gonna check on entry. Did you all have any experience with this?
Thanks!
