They probably had the AI design it's own logo after looking at the photographers work 😀

My bf hated that music! I loved it and would get pissed off when he fast forwarded it, I used to look for the elephant and know the hip hop(?) beat would kick in (apologies, I'm not down with the young person lingo these days) 🤘

Brilliant show, actors and intro

I loved the animation for GOT with the pop up mechanical castles! It also helped to give an overview of where the action would be for that episode, as well as looking really cool!

Also House of the Dragon with the embroidery being stitched (very apt for 2 female protagonists) and the mythology/world building of Valyria....

👍 thank you!

This article describes a Cambrian fossil approx 500 million years old....so way back

Wow 80 downvotes! Some people really get their knickers in a twist don't they? It would be interesting to see how many of them spend their free time making quality posts, with beautiful photos, complete with a few Fun Facts for others to enjoy...

Maybe we need to add a proviso 'it's just some fun, chill the fuck out'

Don't stop posting tho, I love your love of owls

(btw, I recently saw a Barn Owl out hunting just before dusk, flying around the moors. We were side by side with him/her flying, and me driving, then we pulled over to watch from a distance. It was amazing, I've seen one before as a white ghost appearing, then disappearing just as quickly, as I shit my pants. This time tho I got to see the markings and it's face quite clearly....great stuff!)

edit- add

Not too bad.....I'm mainly the only one posting on collage although the lovely Eugenia Loli has posted there too, there is a printmaker Julien_Catenese who posts their work on printmaking which is awesome, and several people are posting OC to abstract photography which I'm really pleased about!

I'm also making posts for !invertebrates@mander.xyz and !nudibranchs@mander.xyz, while trying to not burn myself out, or get too frustrated by lemmys photo upload limit (which can be really stressful when I want to make a Mega Post with plenty of pictures) .... Essentially, I'm just trying to amuse myself first and foremost, maybe learn something new 😀

That's a proper soup strainer!

This is going to be a long comment.... 😀

All time favourite note is probably Jasmine, but not a nice fresh Jasmine, something a bit more indolic and sultry. Also I like Vanilla, but again not sweet, a proper vanilla pod scent with something mixed in to make it interesting (Mona di Orio has a beautiful Vanilla fragrance that also has boozy notes of Rum, Orange and Wood- she envisioned a trade ship carrying them as goods when creating it)

Also I love Labdanum, it helps to form the back bone of 'Oriental' perfumes. It lasts for ever and is deep and rich. Plus Mimosa, but so far only in Frederic Malles Une Fleur de Cassie- it is glorious with a underlying something. In a review someone said it was like a beautiful garden, full of flowers with a dead body buried in it! I think you can probably sense a theme that I don't like pretty fragrance, I like something a bit dark and skanky...

I also love the smell of soil, CBIhatePerfume has a great one called Wild Hunt, it smells exactly like a resinous pine forest, complete with damp soil and mushrooms. He doesn't create 'normal' perfumes, they're more like entire sensory experiences that transport you elsewhere. Patchouli is another favourite, it's grassy and slightly chocolatey too. Musks are another some can be gloriously filthy!

Favourite perfumes....? There are so many to choose from! I have probably around 100 different one by now, some are decants and large sample sizes (which makes it more affordable) others are full bottles purchased when the £ was stronger than the Euro, and before Brexit...

I have favourite perfume houses, including Frederic Malle (his perfumes are amazing and use quality ingredients and lots of natural oils), Serge Lutens (his fragrances tend to be dark and opulent- checkout his website for some French Gothic fun), Guerlain is a really old perfume house their La Art et La Matiere line is wonderful. Also Parfums d'Empire, Mona di Orio, Sonoma Scent Studio, Papillon Perumes.... Chanel Exclusifs and some Dior

Me and the bf are intending to visit Paris soon, I can guarantee we will be our respects to Serge Lutens Boutique and Maison Guerlain!

edit....I forgot Rose, Ylang, Incense, Sandalwood, some Ouds....the list is endless

Also changed 'les exclusifs' to 'La Art et La Matiere'

I think it's probably time I did some stickied posts explaining the different processes etc......... Stay tuned for some more Mega Posts! 👍

There are several active and very passionate communities online including Fragrantica and Basenotes.....things can get incredibly nerdy when discussing perfume, believe it or not 😀

There's also a fragrance community here on lemmy but I think it's all but dead now...

As a perfume nerd I'd love to know what this smells like, and when it'll be used to create a new niche fragrance
