House rules, the short version

Six rules. That is all we need.

  1. Be kind. Disagree with opinions all day, never attack a person. Someone’s worst fragrance is someone else’s favorite, and both people belong here.

  2. Talk about the scent, not each other. No mocking collections, budgets, or taste. Every shelf size is welcome.

  3. No selling, no spam, no affiliate links. Members share finds and opinions, not storefronts. Buying and selling between members is not run through this forum.

  4. Be honest. If you received something free, a sample, a bottle, a discount, say so in the post. If you work for a brand or a shop, say so.

  5. Keep it findable. Post in the right category, search before starting a duplicate topic, and use full fragrance names so the next person can find your thread.

  6. The assistant is a bot, and that is on purpose. Its account is labeled as automated. It opens daily threads, posts the weekly digest, greets new members, and flags spam for a person to review. It does not vote in discussions, does not pretend to wear anything, and never speaks for a member. Bans and disputes are always decided by a person, Justen, never by the bot.

Breaking a rule gets a friendly note first. Spam and abuse skip the note. If you think a decision was wrong, message Justen directly. That conversation stays between you and him.
