        I have no idea. I mainly just wanted to break it down as some smelly fluid, because “perfume” makes it sound like more than that…

        Afaik there are good-smelling off-brand perfumes (I’m not a perfume expert, so I could be wrong)

          there are also clones of existing branded perfumes that would normally cost hundreds but they drive the price down to sub $50, with the caveat that the smell isn’t exactly the same to professional sniffers and also you have less rizz with some people if you buy a chinese knockoff

        Sure, but those exist for scamming stupid rich people, do they not?

        At least, there is no coin small enough that I would pay for a singular splash of smelly water.
        Mainly because you’d have to pay me, if I don’t know what the hell I’m gonna smell like afterwards. 🫠

            Hell yeah. 😎

            Okay, less joking about, I think it’s partially like an autism thing? It just really does not sound pleasant to me, to be smoke-bombed by some pungent smell, especially if I cannot choose and especially if it’s gonna stick to me for the whole day.
            Might as well have a machine where you put coins in and get slapped in the face. You might consider it sad, but I’m not sad at all, that I’m not getting slapped.

              You may just be particularly sensitive, but it shouldn’t be that strong. Teenage boys tend to go overboard, but it’s supposed to be a background smell. If it’s strong then the person is using too much.

              yeah but like you don’t want to smell good? like you don’t want people to associate a good smell with your personality?

    Lol, I’m sure it wouldn’t take too much engineering to make one with commodity parts. Hardest part would be the long term liquid storage, I’d reckon.
