>>18093421>>18093423Based, thanks sisters
rank the Hermes H24 linefor me its EDT > herbes vives > EDP
Is there a cheaper alternative to Prada - l'homme? in college so budget is tight
>>18093454Forgot to add, the ajmal clone is not available in my cunt
>>18093454Looks affordable enough even for a college student.
>>18093454Yes, for the same price as Prada - L'Homme you can get get 2 bottles of Youth Dew, which you will enjoy much more.
>>18093448herbes vives > EDT > EDP
another Lalique daylove the balance in this. would make a great all-year signature scent
what do you need more
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vooGBmH0b84New Jeremy video has dropped
>>18093513Is he trying to get cast a ghoul in the second season of the fallout TV show? What the fuck?
>>18093513Lmao, really based, Trump wears Amoogus, creamy Chads can't stop winning.
>>18093414The Fragrance Groups 101 chart
>>18093414The Fragance Flowchart for Beginners
>>18093535Needs updating, some of the perfumes here are unfortunately goners like Bulgari Black. That being said, is there any sensible replacement for Black that isn’t hideously expensive?
>>18093537Yes, not to mention the unfortunate inclusion of incomplete perfumes like Tom Ford's Ombre Leather
>>18093520i need a blazer in that colour
Now that the phenomenal dust has settled, what do we think of this one? I kinda like it
>buy a vintage fagrance for cheap>wait unil it's discontinued>sell it for a 4 digit price
>>18093513those are the craziest eye bags I've ever seen on a man under 80
>>18093511isn't this too generic?
>>18093537I would unironically just move Ombre Leather into its place. It's the most widely available and popular example of this nuleather style Tom Ford made trendy.
>>18093511Yes I need something that isn't complete slop
>>18093518Jeremy in two years
SOTD, I don't know yet. I just woke up. I'm thinking Burberry London though.
>>18093559no it's not black was great ombre leather is mediocre
>>18093590what's a better pick to represent modern style leathers to a newbie then?
>>18093604bvlgari black lolif it the chart were unfortunate enough to have a t*m f*rd as one of the starting ten then at least make it tuscan leather
>>18093609bvlgvri blvck has been discontinued for years
>>18093612no way, really?
Why does everyone in the fragcom hate pic related? Are they bad quality? Overly priced? Or is it just cause they make weird novelty scents?
>>18093492What tool/website is this?
>>18093614>everyone in the fragcom hate pic relatedI'm John Everyone in the fragcom and I don't hate pic related
>>18093535Am I missing it, or does this chart not have blue fragrances? Given how popular Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel are, it would make since to include those types.
>>18093618thankfuly it doesn't because the people responsible for the first ten and the rest of the chart know their stuff and they didn't include slopalso it's meant to be an introduction into the world of perfumery and not a top 10 sephora sales
>>18093619If the chart is for beginners it should probably include a division on Blue fragrances. It shouldn't be about telling them what to purchase but rather helping them understand what the different types of fragrances are. A beginner's point of reference is very likely to be a Blue Fragrance. If they start understanding the notes in those and what is similar and what is different they can figure out what they are smelling and what they like rather than just having the base qualitative opinion of "mmm.... I like that cologne."
>>18093615https://www.idealo.fr/https://www.idealo.de/
>>18093537>>18093604Fahrenheit
>>18093633I guess the chart just assumes that everyone already knows what blue fragrances and aquatics smell like
>>18093636Is Farenheit a meme fragrance? I see it referenced here a lot. How strong is the leather smell in it? What other notes does it have?
>>18093639>What other notes does it have?most prominently violet leaf (ozonic, like cold cucumber) and florals. and an infamous "gasoline" accord that some can smell more than others (this is probably where the name comes from)it's a famous late 80s classic that some would consider old school at this point, but a unique fragrance that was supposedly created partially by accident (a bunch of unused perfume prototypes at Dior mixed together in the waste bucket gave off this weird gasoline violet leather combo and they decided to base a fragrance off that)
>>18093645I'm looking for a leather fragrance, but I'm trying to stay away from Tom Ford because I tried the Ombre Leather Parfum and while it smelled amazing at first, it very quickly faded to just a leather scent. Are there any other leather fragrances that are good to look into? I liked the strength level of the leather in the Tom Ford Ombre Leather Parfum. So I don't really want anything too much stronger in the leather note than that.
>>18093633Maybe you should read the chart.The 10 fragrances in the middle are taken from the article "The Top Ten Male Designer Fragrances Every Beginner Should Sample" by Claire Vukcevic, every other fragrance is a follow-up from there. That's the purpose of the chart, not to give beginners an overview of every type of fragrance.
>>18093653Antaeus
>>18093614I believe more than anything it’s that their performance is shit. Abysmal longevity and sillage across the board. The scents are interesting, and some are probably even good, but they hardly qualify as fragrance when they fade faster than an aftershave.
>>18093653>So I don't really want anything too much stronger in the leather note than that.it's hard to find anything much more leathery than that. there are actually many different ways to make a leather accord and Fahrenheit doesn't really smell anything like the car seat type leather of OmbreI also liked Ombre but wanted something not as one-sidedly leathery with more going on. ended up getting Dior Homme Parfum instead and I'm happy with it.
>>18093653Fahrenheit and AdP Leather are the best leather fragrances I have tried, but generally I dislike leather fragrances.
anyone know of a cologne that will make you smell like a musty bookshop? leather covers, musty pages, mahogany shelves.
>>18093690Supposed to be Diptyque L'Eau Papier.
>>18093633no, no blue slop will be in the chart, that's not what the chart is for
>>18093421>>18093423fantastic as always>>18093534>>18093535garbage as always
>>18093559>>18093604retarded masstige bitch who doesn’t realize annick menardo repeated a very similar smelling perfume to bvlgari black in the form of patchouli 24, and cartier’s l’heure xiii also smells very similar. stop commenting on subject matters you don’t understand.
>>18093535What's the flowchart if you like Drakkar Noir?
Welcome to Saint Tropez
>>18093690Beaufort London’s Cœur de Noir smelled like this to me. It’s a little light on the “pages” but strong on the musty leather. Wasn’t a fan of it personally, but fits your description imo.
>>18093513he aged 20 years in the past 5 years.must be the toxins in all the designer scents.
>>18093706Purchase Bon Monsieur. End of flowchart
>>18093715>inky, smoky, spicy leatherhuh that looks right up my alley.
I normally don't care for videos, on any subject, that are lighter on technical aspects and heavier on feelings evoked, but this guy's video's are actually kinda interesting.
>>18093754fuck off whoever you are and stop shilling your shit
>>18093754he looks like a transsexual hippie so i will pass
>>18093754Dacob has insights and he has a lot of knowledge. His personality is hit/miss. Sometimes based, always fag. He's got an elite collection of vintages
>Frederic malle stepping down from his own brand in Juneit's never been more overThe acne studios collab was trash too
>>18093765He is reviewing a more than century old fragrance and as an aside he laments what he views as the devolution and regression of art over that time period. If you like classic fragrances and styles you might appreciate what he talks about.
>>18093778Enjoying that sweet Estee Lauder money like Tom Ford
>SOTD AdP ColoniaIs there anything else like this? This is almost perfect from bright citrus opening to the musky drydown. The only way this could be improved is if the longevity was better, but it's a cologne, so it's understandable.
>>18093497Lalique's Hommage a la Homme is my favorite underrated fragrance. It's like a less-sweet Tuxedo.
>>18093690Margiela's Whispers in the LibraryZoologist's Moth, but more of the musty and dusty room part rather than the books
>>18093817>Whispers in the Libraryrecently discontinued btw
>>18093690why would you want that?
Is there anything like this without the basil note
This shit smells so good. I could slurp it up
>>18093706More Drakkar
>>18093717Looks some some kind of organ failure or liver or something. I wouldn't be surprised if he comes out with a PSA about him being sick. It also explains why he may have gotten really hardcore into religion. I hope he's doing alright
>>18093843because I'm a 60 year old trapped in a 36 year olds body and want to smell like an old library room with an open fireplace.
>>18093846Pierre Guillaume - Costume Liquide
>>18093783i really dont need a transsexual hippie to tell me l’heure bleue/mitsouko is good. i already own it.
I've blocked that lesbian fragrance YouTuber. I am tired of her shilling unknown Arab perfumes
>>18093846Ganymede
got any grapes?
It’s fucking impossible to find Guerlain in the USA!They’re not carried in Macy’s or Dillards, I checked Nordstrom and was holding out hope for Saks but I just got back from there and they don’t carry them either.
>>18093944Can’t you order Habit Rouge online?
>>18093705you really recommending a Le Labo fragrance and some obscure luxury line Cartier you haven't smelled and that no newbie will ever smell, bitteranon? as an antithesis to "masstige" fragrances, at that?damn, that must have taken some desperate searching in the Turin ebook
>>18093951nta but why are you defending tom ford slop
>>18093944Yeah, LVMH has started pulling Guerlain from most retailers and upping prices (in Europe as well). I guess LVMH is trying to turn it into a luxury brand 30 years after acquiring it?
>>18093754What's this weirdo's nationality?
>>18093546I think its alright. Myslf is a bit more sweeter but it fits in the same category as dylan blue for me.Ok for daily wear but nothing super special
>>18093961I have never watched his videos, but I'd guess he's Dutch.
>>18093951>you really recommending a le labo fragrancecomposed by the same perfumer, yes. he asked for the closest thing to bvlgari black still in production and you literally cannot get anything closer than that. >and some obscure luxury line cartierpeople have been discussing l’heure xi and xiii for years lol, you’re just not as smart as you think you are. there are tons of threads comparing l’heure xiii and patchouli 24 (and therefore by extension bvlgari black), they’re very close. >m-muh heckin turin!rofl, where do you think the bvlgari black hype came from in the first place? fucking idiot.
>>18093957because the only perfumes he knows are the ones available at his local sephora. apparently basic ass cartier perfumes are too “obscure” for him and therefore invalid, and anyone who recommends them must be shilling turin even though they’ve been around for over a decade.
>>18093961He has an American accent, possibly Canadian.
>>18093946I don’t want to buy a full bottle (yet), I just wanna sample the shit. Imagine being forced to pay for samples of something as basic as Versace or Dior. >>18093959I shouldn’t be surprised. It’s slowly been going to shit for a while… Really wanted to try -some- stuff by them but if it’s gonna be this difficult to get I may not even bother.
>>18094005>implying guerlain is as basic as versace or diorrofl
>>18094005I just ordered from Guerlain and while they have a limited selection of their samples available one of the ones that is offered is the new Habit Rouge Parfum.
If I can get 200ml of Joop! Homme for 38 eurobux, is there anything that can compete with that price/quality/performance ratio?
2nd SOTD: Le Beau
>>18094017Remove the leaf, Paul >:)
>>18094017second gay hookup of the day?
>>18094019No, it is already borderline lewd. This helps it retain an air of cheekiness and fun. That being said the leaf on the new one that just came off looks kinda tacky. It seems like it is fabric just glued on.
>>18094021No, but it is the second great smelling scent of the day.
>>18094025nothing tackier than being a fag
>>18093860He posted on YouTube that he supports trump. Had to unfollow him cause religion and right wing admiration is a no-go for me.
>>18094027great smelling when mixed with a man’s asshole, maybe. for the rest of us normalpeople, not so much.
>>18094002>He has an American accent,He's clearly ESL
LMAO at all the Le Male seething here. Not my favorites either, but how insecure you have to be to cry out about muh homos every time someone posts about that line?
LMAO at all the gay guy seething here. Not a gay guy either, but how insecure you have to be to cry out about muh insecure seething every time someone posts about you wearing a gay guy perfume?
>>18094036it's just the resident retard
>>18094038it’s just the resident faggot
>>18094019>>18094025Here is what I was talking about with the leaf on the new bottle.
>>18094047thanks for the homo info
>>18094006As far as availability is (used to be), it is.
>>18094030Let me guess who also think Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel smell 'like trash'. Anon if you actually go out and experience things you can develop a personality and opinions of your own rather than just parroting something you read or heard someone else say.
>>18094031I think that could be part of his 'gay accent' not sure though.
>>18094050they’re still readily available at my local saks and neiman marcus, so clearly the availability is more based on location than it is on retailer. in other words, have you tried not living in a rural shithole?>>18094052no need to sample JPG perfumes, if i wanted to smell anything from their line i’d just go to a gay bar.
>>18094029who gives a fuck. isn't he European? it's not like he can vote
Anyone tried acqua di gio profondo parfum yet? how does it compare to the regular parfum?Sidenote their naming scheme is fucking awful
>>18094076Sounds like I'd like it, but no it's not out yet where I live
>>18094076>how does it compare to the regular parfum?it probably doesn't since it seems to be a parfum flanker of the profondo flanker>>18094094third world?
Hey guys, I've been using pic related as a deodorant for about 8 months now because it's cheap and smells good.About a month ago I seeming started reacting bad to it (itchy/very inflamed pits), I got new sticks because I thought it might just be the particular stick I was using at the time but I'm still reacting bad to it now.Why would I start reacting bad to this when I've been using it fine previously for 7 months prior? has anything like this happened to anyone else here?Very baffling, looks like I'm gonna have to find something else.
>>18094137There could be something in it that your body has been building up an allergic reaction to over time. Years ago I could inhale as much turpentine as I'd please but now if I get even a brief smell of it my brain starts to feel itchy.
>>18094054>have you tried not living in a rural shithole?“Cleveland - At least we’re not Detroit!”
>>18094150if you actually live in cleveland, my condolences.
What do people mean when they say a fragrance is modern? Is it just a question of timer period when it was introduced? Or does it refer to a difference in scent or style?
>>18094176part when it came out part style part composition part new thing bad old thing good (which is true)
>Fresh spicy>Warm spicy>Soft spicyHelp what does any of this mean?
>>18094191exactly what it says
everyone says that azzaro pour homme is spicy, but it doesn’t smell like chili powder. explain this.
>chilli powder is the only spice
>>18094199no, hot peppers count too. if it doesnt burn my mouth it’s not spicy. wypipo cope and seethe.
bait used to be believable
>>18094191I associate warm spicy with like christmas holiday spicy, so maybe sweeter kind of spicy. Fresh spicy I would associate with it being a bit brighter. It might even be felt in the sinuses. Soft spicy I just view as a very mild and not-leading spicy.
>>18094196It tastes pretty spicy, wdym
>>18094210ytboi detected, eat a popeyes hot chicken some time mayo
>>18094160My thanks. There are actually two nearby niche fragrance stores though, so that’s pretty handy. I can sample -a lot- of niche stuff completely free, which is just all the more reason it irritates me I can’t sample anything Guerlain.
>>18094220the only thing you guys ever really had going for you was the orchestra, and even that hasn’t been good in forever. what a shame.
>>18094231Not that anon, but the Cleveland Clinic is a world class health organization, up there with Mayo Clinic.
>>18094239doctors are all fags so i dont care
>>18094220That’s a shame. Guerlain makes the best and most interesting fragrances despite their relatively low price.
>>18094255Having recently just sampled Vetiver EDT, Habit Rouge EDT, and Heritage I was impressed by the complexity of each.

Does anyone have some examples of scents that they love but would NOT want to smell them in a place or on someone?As an example, people will say I'd love this scent as a candle in my bedroom/bathroom but not on someone. Likewise, there are perfumes people wear that you would never want to smell in a place. Curious on any opinions
>>18094350I feel like a lot of scents wouldn't be good in candle form. A lot of scents would be too strong to permeate a whole room.
Bros, I need a loud but non-obnoxious fragrance, preferably modern.Is coral fantasy what I'm looking for?
sup /fa/rn I'm sniffing on Mousse Iluminee, I just got my decant of it. It's bretty good as a green note booster if the soapiness is cool. I like the cypress more than I thought I would.
>>18094350gunpowder by itself(I know it's a note), cocaine(I know it's a note), plastic-y smelling packages from china. You know the ones
Do you think fragrance houses should name the nose behind their scents? Most do, but you have to go looking for it most of the time. They don’t need to print it on the bottle or anything, but i think it would be cool if they at least put it on the box. I like buying fragrances from specific perfumers I like, and I would automatically gravitate toward fragrances in the store if I knew who the perfumer was
>>18094398the good ones do, and the ones that don’t basically universally suck, so it doesn’t matter
>>18094381No. Sausage elixir is what you want
>>18094386I like the idea of gunpowder as a note, but I’ve never actually smelled a fragrance with that note that actually smelled like it. I was really hoping to love Bapteme de Feu because I’ve always like Serge Lutens, but it didn’t really smell like gunpowder when I sampled it. Cocaine is also an interesting smell, but I don’t know if I actually like the smell of it or just associate it with being on cocaine, which feels pretty darned good to be perfectly honest with you anonymoose. I don’t know if I would like the smell if it wasn’t connected to the high, but there’s no way to test that hypothesis. But I’d wear a gunpowder fragrance if I actually found a good one. Just seems very punk rock.
>>18094404For the gunpowder, Iron Duke is thrown around here once in awhile as a recommendation for it. As far as the coke smell, it's Tuscan Leather. There's a reasonably decent clone of TL called La Yuqawam Homme Rasasi)I'm always looking for more of these as well, but those are the go-tos
>>18094381>>18094400both of you are as obnoxious as your perfume choices
>>18094409>Iron Duke Did Xerjoff dupe this one? They do a tobacco, rum, gunpowder fragrance but I’ve never bothered because I don’t really care for that house
>>18094409>La Yuqawam Homme RasasiAllegedly reformulated to hell and back. Take this as you will.
>>18094412Look, I just want a fragrance that's going to announce "I'm here". I want everyone in the room to notice me, but I want something that's pleasant and not popular.
>>18094437Parfums de Marly. I’m not even going to pick one, you just described all of them.
>>18094437pathetic>>18094443he very specifically said “pleasant and not popular”.
>>18094445All of them are pleasant, and they’re only “popular” with fragrance autists. And not even the real autistic ones like yourself. Snobs hate PDM and they’re too expensive for normal people. I’ve never smelled Layton on anyone else in my life.
>>18094437Just say you’re going to buy Guerlain before Mowgli starts cutting himself
>>18094446>PdM>pleasantROFLalso no, you’re not fucking special for buying overpriced masstige shit that every fragtuber yaps about endlessly.>>18094453Thank you, Florida schizo.
Literally 10/10
>>18094495why do you keep spamming this subpar crap, are you trying to convince us that it’s good, or are you trying to convince yourself?
>>18094496I do not need to convince myself, I am sold on it already. 10/10 fragrance.
>>18094500uh huh. sure thing buddy.
Fair sers, what do you recommend from Guerlain? I was thinking of getting their eau de cologne.

So because Creed is greedy and Jewish, I’ve Decided I’ll start marking my own Green Irish tweed. What does /fa/ think, based or not ?
how do i test if a perfume is right for me, besides for just spraying it on my wrist and smelling it? we have like 10 perfumes at home and most of them werent even opened lol
>>18094794>how do i test if a perfume is right for meby testing it?spray on forearm so it doesn't rub off on anything and smell it for a few hours but looking at your pic there's nothing worth wearing or even testing
>>18094779The Jew fears the basement perfumer.
>>18094794You can spray it on a note card to get a good idea of how it smells, but they will smell differently on skin and differently on each person's skin sometimes. I would find some note cards or something else to spray the perfume on. Then smell each back and forth and try to pick out your favorite 2 or at most say 4 of the ones you have. After you have picked your favorites, I would spray a couple sprays of each perfume on different parts of your body. I would recommend the back of the hand and the inside of the elbow. That will give you 4 spots on your body that are separated enough but also easy to access with your nose. Then smell them and compare them periodically throughout the day. A fragrance will smell different when it is first applied to how it smells 2 hours after spraying. How it smells a bit of time after application is referred to as how it smells in the dry down.
>>18094794Obviously you can just spray it on your wrist but you'll need to give it some time before deciding because the opening doesn't mean shit. Probably wouldn't hurt to get an opinion from one of your relatives too. You'd probably be better served by going to Macy's or Dillards and trying some designer fragrances though.
>>18094794It's just missing some Joop! to really round out the 'my family had no idea what to get me for christmas' vibe.
>>18094794>Unopened vintagd HoggarGive it to me anon, I'll wear it
>>18094824Joop is one people actually remember. True giftcore is some random flanker of a CK fragrance no one cares about
>>18094804Nice man, you do perfumery yourself?
>>18094859no I googled for an image of a Meth Lab and that is what came up.
>>18094874lmfao, peak /frag/
>>18094685Jesus is it really too much a gamble to just release some shit under a new name?
>SOTD: Habit Rouge EDT (unironically)perfect for these colder spring days.
>>18094874i lol'dthank you, based /fag/got
>>18094896yes. we are in the eternal flanker era. Armani will keep releasing Code and ADG flankers until the heat death of the universethe brand new La Nuit flanker will be getting hyped and discontinued within minutes on neo-hyper-tiktokExtra-Male Purest Concentrate will include state of the art nanobot technology for an optimal half-kilometre sillage radius and two month longevity
I gotta tell ya /frag/ I always manage to amaze myself with some of the -wrong- assumptions I make. Back when I first got into this I was mispronouncing “Eau” as “You” (it’s “Ooh” for anyone else out there like me). And just now I’ve learned that Coeur means “heart” not leather. I’ve encountered so many leather frags with Coeur in the name I just assumed that must be what it meant. It is not. Heart of the Desert, Heart of Black, etc. etc.
>>18094921leather is cuir, so you were close
>when the top note is bergamot
>>18094929Ahhhh, right! Thank you kind Anon, good to realize it was based in some level of logic.
>>18094914Going clubbing?
>>18094914No thanks dandy boy
>>18094957
>>18094920I don’t really give a fuck about Armani because they’ve never really been good, but the state of YSL is sickening because not only do they release flanker after flanker of Y and MYSLF, unironically the most uninspired new fragrance I’ve ever smelled from a notable brand, they’ve discontinued everything that doesn’t suck dick other than Kouros
>>18094956not today... 3-4 light sprays, perfectly appropriate for the office (at least noone complained so far).>>18094957based piss water enjoyer
also this is an old fragrance ad thread now
>>18094959Based. Smelled some boomer wearing it a few days ago. I actually have HR on right now but I just can’t get down with that airy sweetness. I keep smelling it though and have been getting whiffs of Guerlain Vetiver. Not sure if it’s my mind playing tricks on me or if there’s some of the DNA in there.
>>18094967>mfw when Le Male was released 29 years ago
>>18094963This gay ass ad is sold me on getting a full bottle of Antaeus https://youtu.be/cDHNVQjJb8c?si=xgeFfjU1tR3OX6lN
Why does it smell so good
>>18094957>>18094970ah yes, classic gay fragrance ads. and to think there are people today who argue that these aren’t gay perfumes.
the others images are also nice https://www.jeanpaulgoude.com/en/archives/chanel-egoiste>>18094971that is pretty gay, indeed
>>18094969hmm... The name of that fragrance is Poison and the thumbnail image looks a bit like a skull. If intended that was a nice artistic flourish for that ad campaign.
>>18094983impressive_very_nice.gif
>>18094981Is egoiste for schizos
>>18094983>If intendedSomehow, anon, I get the strange feeling it was
>>18094981For some reason that image calls to mind this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBsKplb2E6Q
>>18094990I mean it very likely was. You just don't see things like that in ad campaigns anymore. And I'm assuming that ad is only 30 or 40 years old. We live in age where seemingly every ad campaign is filled with quirky humor, sarcasm, and other reddit-tier sensibilities.
>>18094989platinum egoiste is, that’s for sure
>>18094989no, it's for supreme gentlemen with exquisite taste>pic unrelated
>>18094977pic related, must have smelled like ass (literally)
>>18094996Those brutes wouldn't know a proper fragrance if it came up and slapped them in the face.
>>18094921ameritard?
Wait, why do people hate this exactly? It smells pretty good. Kind of weird to market it as a Habit Rouge flanker, but that sweet leathery facet is there. This is a good little casual summer scent that's not just generic and soapy. Kind of comes across like a less sickly sweet/synthetic smelling Dunhill Desire in the opening. I'd wear this to work. It also seems to be the only Guerlain you can pick up for less than a hundred dollars since LVMH took over.
Has anyone ever used scentsplit to try samples?
>>18095056ye
>>18095053got weed in it. Guerlain boomers fear the dankies.
>>18094796>but looking at your pic there's nothing worth wearing or even testingwhat? they all smell like perfume to meive been using the styletto on and off>>18094808thanks for the advice>>18094824hey i bet the "ENERGY CEO" perfume isnt so bad haha>>18094833is that good? we had these for many years
>>18095053How does it differ from the EDT? I recently smelled that and thought it was nice but not great. The sweetness in it was a bit too candied for me. But I liked the floral notes and the way they blended with the other notes.
>>18095082From the Habit Rouge EDT? Pretty significantly. There's definitely some resemblance if you know what you're looking for, but if they had marketed this as it's own release and not a Habit Rouge flanker, I might not even have connected the two. The most prominent note in the opening of the original for me is the lemon. This one substitutes that with bergamot and grapefruit. I also get a lot of rose and leather, which are both very prominent in the original, but I don't get the powdery thing that one does. There's no ambroxan listed, but I suspect it's in there. It's very sparkly. I do smell the cannabis, but I don't think most people would would recognize it if they didn't know it was a listed note. It blends with the patchouli to give it a bit of greenness. Mind you, I just got it in this afternoon and haven't tested it very thoroughly. I already had a fragrance on so that is bound to effect it slightly. I can give a more thorough report tomorrow
>>18095060not in a million years have i ever heard anyone complain or even mention that any guerlain has a marijuana note, ever.
>>18095098Probably because this is the only Guerlain fragrance with cannabis as a listed note. It would be weird if people said they didn't like Shalimar or Heritage because of all the weed in it.
>>18095102fucking bizarre, does anyone know what delphine jelk is trying to do?
>>18095071>they all smell like perfumeno shit sherlock, but they are dollarstore/pharmacy fragrances that are very low quality
>>18094685I actually like the line and Profondo and Profumo on themselves were good modernizations on the scent, but utter LMAO at all the pointless fiddling on the line after that.
>>18095098It's well established that there's a cannabis note in l'instinct
>>18095103Appeal to a younger crowd, it was a quite a thing for a while to have a (supposedly) shocking weed note in your perfume
>>18095103Appealing to the part of Venn diagram which overlaps with both>Habit Rouge enthusiastsand>dude weed lmao
>>18095103I would assume whatever the soulless corporate overlords at LVMH are commanding her to do. I assume the brief for this one was something like "let's take Habit Rouge and make it more like Bleu de Sauvage. Make it fresher and put something weird in it to appeal to the youths." And to her credit, I think she did a fairly good job of that. It's definitely modern, but doesn't come across as boring. The trouble is that it's too different from the original to appeal to Habit Rouge fans, and the Habit Rouge name isn't something zoomers are likely to care about. So it's just like... Who exactly is the for? It would probably have sold better if it was marketed as it's own thing. They also pivoted real quick when this one undersold. I haven't tried it yet, but they released Rouge Prive the following year and that one sounds like it's much more recognizable as a Habit Rouge flanker that's just touched to come across slightly more modern.
>>18095119real big niche if i’ve ever seen one
>>18095121maybe she should just stick to making mon guerlain and la petite robe noire flankers.
>>18095098now you have retard
>>18095132how unfortunate
>>18095121>PriveWhat was the point of releasing apparently great Habit Rouge and L’homme Ideal flankers that were sold for only a blink of an eye?
>>18095143For the shekies
After getting estee lauder for men I can understand how that one anon went through it so quickly
>>18095143To be fair, the L'Homme one was basically just L'Homme Ideal Cologne in a different bottle. But I hear nothing but good things about Rouge Prive
>>18095092Thanks for the info anon. I'm always interested in hearing about new fragrances and currently looking for one that has some featheriness to iit.
>>18095143capitalizing on the growing FOMO retard market, I guess
>>18095170No worries, chief
Why is Armani shrinking the bottles from 125ml to 100ml while increasing the price ? Why are they so Jewish
>>18095189For the shekies
>>18095177is gay dragon, dare I say, /ourguy/? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3ZB2Y9Xemo
>>18095197for the thumbnail I thought it was a fragrance vtuber...
>>18095189eau de bavx had the same thing
>>18095204I kind of wish he was. He's very knowledgeable about fragrance history, but he's not the most attractive guy on the Internet. A title which actually belongs to me.
>>18095197are there really a lot of people blind-buying multiple bottles of stuff?
>>18095215100%. It happens so often it's become a marketing tactic. Everyone seems to be releasing limited edition shit now just to artificially generate this reaction
>>18095197I watched his video and there is a chance it isn't FOMO that is motivating these people but rather more of a hipster ideal of having something unique or somewhat exclusive to call your own. This hobby seems to lend itself to people indulging that luxury oriented desire to have things that others don't.
>>18095057Is it good/legit?
>>18095253100% legit. You might find better decant prices elsewhere, but they are one of the most trusted sources in the community. Never had a problem with them personally
>>18095264Thank you anon. Going to pick up some samples
>>18095266Good luck, m'sir

>>18095277>that slop>goodlol
>>18095279Start a review channel so we can judge you
>>18094625Arguably the best citrus cologne. Very safe blind buy.
got a sample of PR invictus victory elixir with a purchase of vintage PRPH. if you like this shit, kill yourself now.
How do I get Terre D'Hermes to be a stronger scent? I like the overall smell but it's kind of weak.
>>18095288you stop buying watery ellenaslop
>>18095285based>>18095288spray more>>18095290that was a quick reply
>>18095189Because some L'Oreal kike's excel spread sheet said so.
>>18095288Terre d'Hermes EdT is pretty strong to me.
Zaharoff Signature Pour Homme smells really good. His guerilla marketing is a bit of a pleb filter.
>>18095306What is Homme and why do so many fragrances talk about pouring it out in their name? Is this like a reference to something in Greek mythology? Were the Olympians eating ambrosia and pouring homme to smell good?
Has anyone tried Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Calabria?
>>18095307holy fucking retard>>18095308the only aqua allegorias ever worth a damn are pampelune and herba fresca.
>>18095307Yes men had to pour homme on themselves in order to smell good. It originated in ancient mesopotamia. I think it is derived from plantsIt is a bit like a catchphrase for good luck “Pour homme!”
>>18095307It's actually pronounced "Ohm" (like the Hindu chant), and not "homie". It's French for "potato". The fragrances which use "homme" in their name (i.e. Dior Homme, La Nuit de l'Homme, Guerlain Homme, Versace Pour Homme) are all structured around potato as the primary accord.
>>18095308No. And not only in this thread, no one has ever smelled it. In the world. Not even Guerlain himself.
>>18095359Only two people in the world know what it smells like, but each of them have only smelled half
>>18095365One got the top notes, the other got the bottom notes. They split the mid-notes 50/50
Bake new

>>18095474bump limit is at 310 you fucking newfag
>>18095658bump deez nuts off your forehead
>>18095071is that good? we had these for many yearsOne of thr nicer cheapies/dollar store perfumes. Nice mix of tonka bean and citrus, kinda amberywhat's really enticing is you seem to have one of the original box first releases from, the newer ones have a simpler box (pic related) and has most likely been reformulated.
>>18095715thanks, i will gift most of these perfumes to relatives except the hoggar
