So what are good tobacco fragrances. Other than the one in OP, I've heard of Mancera Red Tobacco, and then Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. However I am hestiant about the Tom Ford one because after trying Ombre Leather Parfum and noticing how quickly the scent's complexity I'm worried about similar experiences with other Tom Ford fragrances.
>>18097493Dolce&Gabbana The One EDP
>>18097489>dior privee collectionit’s shit
>>18097495oh nice, that is much more affordable
>>18097493>>18097495all really fucking shit
>>18097493Tabac Dore for real tobacco, the attar is really nice if you don't want to drop 350 on a bottle and you can get 9ml decants for $90. Tobacco Maniac is my favorite honey tobacco, and Amouage Royal Tobacco for frankincense/tobacco. The Amouage is definitely incense heavy so it's hard to really class it as just a tobacco.
Pineward haul came in. Bought the summer sample set to fill in the few things not included when I bought his full set this past winter. Looking forward to trying to them because there’s a lot of lime notes mentioned. He was also kind enough to include Juniperus, his new release, as well as Iceflow, assumably something he’s working on which as of writing has zero hits when searching for it on Google.
>>18097493Chergui is good. 18.21 Manmade Sweet Tobacco Spirits is extremely good for the price. It's performance is on par with luxury houses like Killian and Parfums de Marly, but it costs $80 on Amazon. It's from a little startup that does men's grooming products, and I guess their customers kept asking them to make a fragrance that smells like their scented hair products. It sat on the shelf at around $40 for a while until fragcom found out about it and then it exploded. There was an insane amount of hype for like a year, then people kind of forgot about it. It has a photo-realistic honied-tobacco accord with an interesting red wine note that tempers the sweetness and mixes with patchouli and cedar that darkens it up a bit. The quality is somewhat baffling given that there's no listed perfumer and it's literally the first release put out by a house that doesn't actually make perfume. If I sprayed Oajan or Back to Black on one hand and 18.21 on another and asked someone to pick out the fragrance that cost $300, they'd probably have no clue.
Big fan of Caron pour un Homme de Caron EDT, it's still one of the biggest bottles I own (500 ml.) Blind bought it quite a few years ago after one of your videos recommending it, such a good recommendation. Right now the bottle has only about 25% left. I use it on my own, and also on my bed and pillows before going to sleep. It's wonderful! Looking forward to checking out this parfum. Maybe they will consider an Elixir? That would be great!
>sprayed 10 blasts of Terre D'Hermes >scent goes away after 10 minutesWhat the fuckIt smells incredible but it's like it's not even there
Well, I tried and compared Habit Rouge EdT and Parfum. They are very different fragrances. The Parfum is a darker, warmer fragrance that has kind of a smokey leatheriness to it. It isn't a very prominent leather or smokiness but it is interesting. It also doesn't have a large change between the initial application and the dry down. The EdT in comparison is much brighter. The opening citrus notes are much more prominent. Also the floral notes in the EdT are very strong. In the beginning I think I prefer the EdT. I'm a big fan of the floral notes. But in the drydown I think I prefer the parfum. However, having tried both I don't think I will purchase either. While I do like both of them I don't think I like them enough to purchase.
>>18097530yeah, they’re not gay enough for you, we know
Lads, /ourgirl/ has a new video and it looks like she has a new outfit too. Have any of you been pleasantly surprised by a fragrance you were not expecting to like much?
What are the best fragrances to attract young 18-21 year old girls? I would assume they like iso e super because it's packed into every shampoo used by teenage boys. I would also assume they like gourmands because they have no culture so food scents will be the most familiar to them. Another idea is that they would be attracted to a man who wears women's floral perfume because they are all lesbian or they/them and/or attracted to femboys. Does anyone have experience with this? I'm 29 btw
>>18097563raw civet paste smeared all over your body is guaranteed to work
>>18097563fucking retard who has never spent any modicum of time around college students alert
>>18097563Different women will like different things, but generally they will like sweet fragrances. Though the blues lare also well liked. Though young woman as a rule do not like Vetiver.

Dupes that are better than the Original?
The Fragance Flowchart for Beginners
>>18097522You're spraying too much, silly goose. You're getting olfactory fatigue.
>>18097577Guerlain's Vetiver is better than the Original Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver, which it duped.
>>18097576>>18097578wakey wakey, garbage as always>>18097582lmfao
>>18097530FAIRit's an older man's fragrance based on the floral bouquet. Something like REFLECTION MAN is more modern floral. (but very fucking expensive)
>>18097507>He was also kind enough to include Juniperus, his new release, as well as Iceflow, assumably something he’s working on which as of writing has zero hits when searching for it on Google.sick, post a review>5 bottlesi dont want to know how much that cost
>>18097509no it fucking wouldn't, shut the fuck up
>>18097576>>18097578fantastic as always
>>18097509Agree, but I think the Parfum is a better balance although the original is very 'bright'
>>18097582agreed that Guerlain Vetiver is better. it is more crisp and interesting and doesn't smell like soap. I don't think Grey Vetiver duped it though. They are very different.
>>18097509Elixir is a meaningless marketing term so there is no way to determine if it would be good.
>>18097580It's because it's very easy to go anosmic to Iso E Super from over use. Dial back and maybe reset your nose with a bombastic old school oriental like Youth Dew. Your nose will thank you.
>>18097635>>18097637why the fuck are you replying to those posts like that or at all? kys
>>18097642How else are we going to reach the bump limit and get to the next real deal perfume general?
>>18097646by discussing fragrances and perfumery not by responding to shitty bait
>>18097532habit rouge smells like a powdered dandy wearing a wig. I like it, but it was the Dior Homme of its time and it's bizarre to see people claim it's some macho scent nowadays
>>18097660It's ok to have a little fun now and again with perfume.
SOTD? Why it's Xerjoff Fiero of course
Just tried my Mousse illuminee sample and man this is lovely.
>>18097665fun? shitposting? posting about anything not Turin-approved?wait until the bitterfag hears about this one, the seething mass replies will fly...
>>18097507The perfect scent for listening to the fleet foxes
>>18097729Turintard isn't even competent at being a turintard. Never listen to his advice nor take him seriously because he has no clue what he's talking about in the slightest.
Let me guess, you need more?>>18097693It contains Oakmoss.
>>18097759Jicky's beautiful take that back IMMEDIATELY
Is there a marine/ aquatic fragrance that isn't a meme?
>>18097783Aramis New West
>>18097783L'Eau Majeure d'Issey/L'Eau Super Majeure d'Issey
Why did Aramis discontinue Devlin, Havana, 900, etc.?
>>18097787>d'isseymy mother got a bottle of A Drop d'Issey for cheap from a store closing down and god it smelled shit. Like cheap air freshener.
>>18097794they dont want you to smell good.
>>18097794Tom ford couldn't stand the competition
>>18097779Icky Jicky!
>>18097816Mitsookie, rhymes with nookie hoooaaaah
all perfume costs at least $100 or more, no matter how small the bottle or cheap the formula. It is probably more like $130 and surprisingly often more than $200. Is there a price- fixing cartel, guys? Confess.
>>18097820You can buy a whole bottle of yatagan for around 50-60 euros and it's basically the only perfume a man could ever need. You can get aramis, drakkar noir or Stetson for basically pennies
>>18097820This nigger has never been to Ross
>>18097828... Ross?
>>18097829Time to play my favorite game. Are you foreign or retarded, anon?
>>18097783Bvlgari aqva and Tom ford oud minerale >>18097779Jicky is pretty nice but Caron pour un homme feels more wearable for most occasions. I don’t know if I’ll ever finish my four bottles of Jicky but I’m running through a bottle of pour un homme every year.
>>18097509If you like Caron pour un homme get the vintage formulation. It is better. I also have a big bottle (750ml) that I use for linens and everything. It and guerlain vetiver are my two favorite fragrances for sure. The leau flanker is also very nice for a modern interpretation that doesn’t stray too far. The sport flanker is also nice but doesn’t have much of the original dna asides from lavender
>>18097530Thanks for following up. Try the habit rouge edc if you can. It’s the best by far. Than edt and edp. I haven’t tried the parfum yet. I’m looking forward to your review of heritage edp. I haven’t tried that yet either but have a few different formulations of the edt
I also want to comment on the psychology of luxury products. Guerlain and Caron perfumes were readily available at discounter prices for years (30-40usd for 100ml bottles) and people here pointed their nose up at it but are now happy to pay 150usd for a 100ml bottle. Very interesting
>>18097820Take the Arab pill
>>18097836Sam Hyde reference.
good fragrances for a vintage tryhard? someone that would dress like this

>>18097662the only people claiming habit rouge is some sort of masculine powerhouse are shitposters. it’s always been a dandy’s fashion statement. >>18097759pretty much everything in that review is wrong, but you wouldn’t know since you’ve never smelled eau d’hermes yourself. who’s the turin drone now?
Should I buy it? It's been shilled by 2 guys a lot recently
>>18097973>am i an easily influenced retard?the answer appears to be yes.
>>18097976but is it good? it's not quite popular in tiktok
>>18097981maybe you should just stick to getting your perfume recommendations from tiktok.
>>18097985still better than getting them from a clown like you
>>18097992suuuuuuuure buddy. if you say so.
>>18097973go try it out. This one should be available in a lot of stores. I too am highly curious about it.
>>18097998really embarrassing stuff
>>18097973I'm sorry but what does this have to do with unfashionable mens perfume from the 70s and 80s?
>>18098015it’s an unfashionable mens perfume from the 90s, so spiritually it’s not so different
>>18098016More of a y2k thing since it came out in 99
>>18098019nothing could be more unfashionable in an era of woody amber driven neo-powerhouses.
How is the longevity with Eau de Guerlain? 30 minutes and it's gone like a typical cologne?
>>18098051why do you keep asking these questions over and over, homo
What’s your go to summer scent? What gets you the most compliments?
>>18098051Nah it’s an edt and its performance is standard for an edt. It’s not fleeting like guerlain imperiale, kölnischer Wasser or other traditional colognes. It has enough oak moss to keep it substantial. Guerlain imperiale is the best smelling cologne ever though. Just very fleeting >>18098052Be gone schizo fag
>>18098056someone clearly wasn’t here when the creepy groomer uncle revealed himself to be the same guy asking a million times about longevity on classic guerlains.
>>18098066he did?
>>18098070yeah>>18097215>>18097355same retard
>>18098073oh yeah didn't realise that "they" both ordered habit rouge and complained about lack of jicky and mitsouko testers
>>18098076not sure why this gay freak doesnt stick to his faggot JPGs since that’s clearly what he prefers when it comes to grooming children. won’t have to worry about longevity with those; AIDS lasts a lifetime.
>>18098081sometimes you can make a funny post two word response guy
Any good coriander seed fragrances other than Jo Loves Green Orange & Coriander? I just want to be able to add the note of coriander seed. I would get a single-note fragrance if I could find one. Tried DS & Durga and didn't like it.
>>18098092Olivier Polge uses coriander in his frags
>>18098095I like D&G The One for Men a lot, if I could get it without cardamom that would be basically what I want
Wow shalimar does smell a lot like habit rouge except it’s actually more masculine lol
Dior Homme Intense or Dior Sauvage ElixirWhich one gets more pussy?
SOTD EVERY DAY
>>18098144Honestly might be the most boring fragrance of all time
>>18098142the one you’re wearing when you lock eyes with a whore dumb enough to share her STDs with you.
>>18098146Didn’t ask nerd
>>18098144>>18098152overpriced faceless estee lauder garbage
>>18098141The new parfum of Habit Rouge is more masculine than the EDT, though the scent profile is very different. What is it about Habit Rouge EdT that you find feminine? The Floral notes? It is a little sweet but to the levels of a lot of other men's fragrances today.
>>18098155Still didn’t ask. Post you favorite fragrance so I can call it shit
>>18098157>It is a little sweet but to the levels of a lot of other men's fragrances today.oops meant NOT to the levels of other men's fragrances today.
>>18098157I’m not too interested in the parfum version. As far as what I don’t like about it, I really couldn’t single out a specific note or anything. I just don’t like it. It’s like this airy rose sweetness thing that I can smell in shalimar but it’s covered in a bed of vanilla that really turns down the saturation on what I find nauseating in HR. There’s something in HR that reminds me of egoiste too. I don’t know if it’s rose or rosewood but both of those frags I don’t love
justb ought thiswhat am i in for?
>>18097992then why are you asking him if you should buy it?
>he's still mad after 3 hours so he replied a second time to the same post
>>18098159how embarrassing>>18098222simply humiliating
>>18098141I think it's the fact that it's smokier and doesn't have as much of the rose
>>18098187>
>>18098252 oh shit i get her??
>>18097973Don't blind buy. Try it out first. Especially if it's an older Chanel frag like that one.

Bought a 10ml of L'Eau D'Hiver by Frederic Malle. I really like this, its very meditative

>>18098332its calming and pleasant. Feels like soft laundry fresh out of the dryer immediately worn on a cool day. Feel like it would be a good "bed time" frag
There is a lot of focus on the projection of fragrance on this general. From what I can tell, high projection is generally seen as a good thing.Equally prevalent in this hive of scum and villainy are wildly differing opinions of what fragrances smell good vs. not. Just today, I looked up a fragrance I recently tried and fell in love with, only to find that someone else had made a post calling this specific cologne *REALLY FUCKING SHIT*.I'm sure we can all agree that what smells good is totally subjective, and that no one enjoys breathing in odors that they find objectionable.So how does wearing enough cologne/perfume that someone more than a couple feet away from you can smell it not exactly correlate to blasting your music without headphones?I'm not referring to instances of wearing a cologne that your partner loves on you and wanting them to smell it. I'm talking about leaving your home wanting to be surrounded by a "projection" cloud that people who are not hugging you can still detect.Honestly, I think you should all go die.

>>18098345She's a revolting eastern European subhuman who pals about with dubiggers
>>18098343theres a few tryhards in this general (and this website by extension) that are too obsessed with being either too niche and unpleasant, or something incredibly vintage so it looks like they have some semblance of taste outside the general market, and thus better than everyone else. It's a sad thing, when frags are just a consumptive hobby that isn't really a competition, just wear what you like.

>>18098343>So how does wearing enough cologne/perfume that someone more than a couple feet away from you can smell it not exactly correlate to blasting your music without headphones?It can be. But there are varying degrees of noticing something. If something is lightly detectable at a couple feet distance from you it is different than if something is strongly detectable at 5 or more feet from you. I generally when wearing a fragrance I will spray 2 sprays on the neck. Perhaps another on the sternum area of my shirt. I don't have any fragrances that are super strong so I'm assuming if people notice the scent I'm wearing it is fleeting. But different cultures are different. It is my understanding that in Japan people are closer to your opinion where no one should smell almost any scent on you. This is somewhat seen in East Asian fragrances which tend to much lighter than Western and Oriental fragrances.
>>18098365Because they had to set the series in the 1900s so the race-swapped cast would have a reason to be living in New Orleans without being enslaved. The great tragedy in all of this is that Sam Reid was actually really good at playing the character. He was just in a terrible show. Also, Louis had slaves in the original movie. Lestat fed on them because they couldn't run away. You're not going to see that in current year

>>18098427I already have Virgin Island Water sar. I'm looking for a different scent.
So after comparing the Heritage EDT and EDP, they are very similar. The main difference is that the EDP just smells a little stronger. I do notice Lavender more in the EDP than in the EDT, but it still isn't a very prominent note for me in the EDP. Both smell really good in the dry down. I am very happy with my purchase of Heritage EDP. It is a great fragrance.

>>18098519I don't buy the whole Christianity schtick. I know what demonic possession looks like. Famed occultists John Dee and Edward Kelly claimed to have summoned the Archangel Gabriel and asked him many things about demonic entities. One such entity was the demon Choronzon, dweller in the abyss. According to Gabriel, Choronzon is an aspect of Satan, and his name adds up to 333 in Hebrew Gematria. This entity is the personification of nothingness attempting to become something. In its celestial form it is an unending series of shapes all trying to take form. Aleister Crowley claimed to have summoned this entity, and believed that if met with the appropriate degree of preparedness, it can be used to destroy the ego and propel an initiate across the abyss to achieve the title of Magister Templi, or Master of the Temple. Crowley also states that if the initiate is not ready to face Choronzon, the demon will infect the initiate's soul and possess him. He called these failed initiates "black brothers". They always became exaggerated versions of themselves. There was an unnatural wrongness to them. Something uncanny. It is as though the demon who has taken them over is all too excited to finally be given a corporeal form. Some believe, and I count myself among them, that Crowley himself, did not defeat Choronzon, but was taken as a black brother. Most of the Crowley we know was likely Choronzon using him as a puppet. Jeremy Fragrance has suffered the same fate. You just know.
>>18098474Did you like cdg black? How annoying a smell is it

>>18098567What’s your holy grail cologne anon? Unironically . Also saved where is that from?
>>18098562Gender in perfumery is largely a marketing gimmick. There are certain fragrances that smell over the top masculine and over the top feminine, but generally speaking, fragrance is fragrance. Wear what you like.
>>18098567sorry not everything is made of trademarked woody amber synthetics.
>where is that from?zoomer third world or stupid?
>>18098574What’s over the top masculine in your opinion? Something like cdg black or Versace eros?
>>18098576
>>18098576Zoomer introvert. I always thought Tron was gay and I always hated cgi over practical effects.
>>18098574don't you even fucking dare respond to him again I swear to god
>>18098579> I always thought Tron was gay zoomer projecting lol
18098583lol
>>18098577Over the top masculine scents tend to be built around heavy musks and dry woods. Something like Aventus and Sauvage. Over the top feminine fragrances tend to be built around strong florals. I would actually consider Eros to be pretty feminine for a man's fragrance, despite the way it's marketed. It's very sweet.
>>18098580Get bent >>18098588Thanks anonWagmi

>>18098598Womp womp
I hope you fuckers spray some fragrance in your eyes and that it burns
>>18098601Why? Susvage is literally masculine
>>18098604i didnt know masculinity was represented by screeching woody amber synthetic aromachems.
>>18098598I don't even know why you're angry. You're such a strange little assburger, Mowgli. I didn't even say anything nice about them, simply that they're masculine scents, which literally everyone in the entire world agrees with but you. Somefucking how you think Aventus is girly or something. I defies explanation.

>>18098612>>18098619>>18098624Thank you, Florida schizo.>>18098627i’m not of the opinion that you can represent masculinity in the form of aromachemicals.
Anyone try this one? What do you think if you did? I recently got a sample and thought it was fairly good, but not amazing. It is only lightly sweet, and it soft and somewhat simple.
fresh addition to the rotation bros
unironically shameful
>>18098631And the thing is, you're not even wrong. But there are certain scent profiles that are marketed exclusively toward men and others that are marketed exclusively toward women. Is there anything intrinsically masculine about the color blue or feminine about the color pink? No, but repeat something enough and it becomes the truth.
>>18098634i looked up nondescript in the dictionary and this image showed up.>>18098636>marketingi don’t care.
>>18098634Why Sauvage and BDC? I know they smell differently but do you feel that two blues overlap too much?
>>18098632>recently got a sample and thought it was fairly good, but not amazing.That's basically the entire L'Homme Ideal line in a nut shell. They're all pleasant and wearable, but nothing really stands out
>>18098638Nautica Voyage is also quite blue
>>18098639Ahh ok. It is nice but doesn't do anything really stand outish. Seems like it would be good for an Office fragrance or if you just want a more lowkey scent.
>>18098642Yeah, they're definitely worksafe. Someone here characterized them pretty well a few days ago by saying they're fragrances for the sort of guy who used to wear loud clubbing scents like Ultra Male or One Million in college, but now has a mortgage and kids and no longer wants to smell like a fuckboi
What's he wearing?
>>18098638I thought about asking anons if they thought it redundant to rock sauvage and bdc, but to me they are so different that I don't believe it is redundant at all>>18098637maximum kek
>>18098652A tophat and peacoat with a matching vest and a cravat necktie. He's quite dapper.
>>18098652Penhaligons something or other. It doesn't matter.
>>18098655Yeah I don't think they are too similar, but to me they feel like they occupy the same class of fragrance, and would feel similar to wear. But if you like them that is good. I have BDC EDP and I really like it.
>>18098652some equally AI generated faux-victorian nonsense. so basically something from penhaligons. >>18098655i looked up the word redundant in the dictionary and it showed a picture of you followed by a picture of a dumpster.
>>18098659oh for sure they're both blue AF and I do like them both, dior I would classify as a loud blue whereas chanel is a more subtle blue and if I had to pick and stick with one I would pick bdc over sauvage >>18098660fucken lmao, I love this place!

>>18097973I'll shill it too. Allure is the best of the line. The flankers (even blanche) are just piggybacking off of the DNA of the original. It's weak because it's been broken down by waves of reformulations, but he DNA is clearest with this one. The soft crisp clean sweet-less peach scent is amazing. I wish they took this DNA and powercharged it with an Elixir.

I EXCITE!!!!11Man, I posted a thread about clothing from temu, I just found out they sell clone frags too.Anyone ave any dealings this?Pic rel is obvious what it is, and is like 5 dollars. I'm thinking of just spending 100 dollars on a handful of the clone frags just for shits and giggles.
yes please spend a hundred dollars on chinese chemical weapons and then spray them on your skin so that you die from them that would be most excelent

Probably wrong thread but what’s a good deodorant? Or where should I be looking
>>18099083
>>18098760hmm... I'm really interested in this one. Have you tried the Allure Sport and Allure Sport Eau Extreme as well? How do the 3 compare?
no he hasn't and no you're not interested in itfuck off and kys
>>18099072Men do hit the wall, she just likes attention from men. Doesn't mean she wants your dick bro.
>>18099093I like scentless paste or solid deodorant that doesn't contain aluminium salts. Depending on where you live the brands will be different but I find owl and bee deodorant cream is good.
>>18099046That is probably a good mindset to have. I just wish the scent had just a little something more. Like perhaps a more prominent leather note.
worst shit i tried this year, i actually laughed a little
>>18099126laughter is the only rational response in the face of the absolute foolishness known as the tom ford catalog
>>18099126Tom Ford Bitter Peach (2020) is another hilariously cynical and awful party trick of a fragrance slapped into a uniquely-colored but over-priced Private Blend bottle following in the footsteps of things like Lost Cherry (2018) or Lavender Extrême (2019). I don’t know who perfumed this one, but they succeeded in making the world’s most expensive homage to a Glade Plug-In air freshener, because that is what this one ultimately smells like when it dries down. Some people claim this has very little performance, but maybe I’m sensitive to what’s in it because for me this one is sheer terror that never abates in the sillage department. I had to vehemently scrub then dispose of my paper sample outside when finished test-driving the stuff, so beware that perceptions of performance can vary wildly from person to person here. There is a litany of notes listed for Bitter Peach, but this is no classic Guerlain, and like most Tom Ford scents, is a front-loaded linear weaponized fragrance experience, that only fades into something else after the first few hours. Once this initial switch happens, there the fragrance shall stay until removed from skin, so Bitter Peach wears like watching a film divided into two parts by an intermission. Unfortunately, this is a very droll “sprawling epic” of a film that entertains film students more than casual viewers, being all sweeping stedi-cam shots or Dutch angles.
>>18099126The opening is as the label describes minus any perceived bitterness as the name claims, giving you a very juicy but artificial dessert-like peach. This isn’t the normal lactonic peach note of classic chypres such as Guerlain Mitsouko (1919), but more like Air-Wick spray or cheap candy peach, and here is where you shall dwell until about the hour mark. After you reach the end of the first hour, musky commercial scent spices and more of a mulled sweetness take over. Davana, rum, and jasmine sambac are listed but for the life of me all I get is the smell of some autumnal variety of home fragrance you can buy from the grocery store, until eventually the peach is gone and all you smell is this. The other 12+ hours on skin will give you this Glade vibe mixed with cashmeran, fractioned patchouli isolates, and tonka. Projection gets a bit closer after this too, but sillage is very cloying and extroverted, at least to the wearer (me). I don’t know where all the claimed goodness in the listed base notes are, but what’s here gives you no rest from the institutional bathroom or overly-scented Prius of a late-night Uber driver trying to hide the smell of his previous intoxicated passengers. Best use is far away from me, preferably across the street, thanks. If your name is James and you’re looking for a giant peach, this one ain’t it chief.
>>18099126There are a few peach-foward niche fragrances out there for perusal if you’re really looking for something like this with more than just a gimmick and tacky potency to validate its existence. Parfums MDCI Péché Cardinal (2008) is a good place to start if not Royal by Moresque (2019), which both seem to take themselves seriously enough to be whole perfumes instead of “gotcha” gags that end up smelling like overly-concentrated room sprays. The usual “bought and sold” perfume reviewers plus YouTube and Instagram hype that brought me to trying this fragrance for myself once again have me shaking my head, leading me to believe that these shameless self-promoters will say just about anything to get more followers for ad revenue or free bottles they can flip on the side. Imagine being tricked into spending hundred of dollars to smell like something you buy from a Dollar Tree to keep the bathroom of your nail salon not smelling like taco night at a college dorm. The only thing truly bitter about Tom Ford Bitter Peach is the disappointment of the person sniffing this for the first time and expecting it to smell like the name states it should, or the cynical marketing “genius” in charge of all these inane Party-City-in-a-bottle cash grabs. Thumbs down.
>>18099114Sure she likes attention. When i was 18 my GF back then cheated on me with a 40 year old boomer. Pretty sure if i'm pushing it far and the scent has enough oakmoss i can be successful.

>>18098482I kind of prefer Lalique PH to NYI. The openings are different, but they dry down similar. I guess I prefer the lighter, airier nature of it and the focus on lavender and rosemary over the classic old school Pour Monsieur like accord in the NYI opening
>>18098539I’m so fucking sick of ChatGPT>>18098656The best answer.
>>18099268The blood of travelers
My sample for the day was Montcler Pour Homme. It's a nice simple clary sage fragrance. Just clary sage and wood basically. Clary sage smells clean to me like a soap ingredient. I've tried Luna Rossa EDT before and I liked it, Montcler PH is basically that but without going all the way into the soap ingredient direction.
>>18097493I'm looking for tobacco frags too. Naxos 1861 is good for honey+tobacco but it comes with cinnamon which makes you smell like a graham cracker, which I don't want if I just want honey+tobacco. And it the lavender is a bit of weird niche combo. Spicebomb Extreme is a nice for tobacco+vanilla, I thought it was like a better/more complex Tom Ford tobacco Vanille that smelled like whiskey.D&G The One is good if you want a cardamom fragrance. I just tried Aramis Havana Reseva, I didn't like it, mainly because of the tangerine note. I want to try Tom Ford Tobacco Oud intense and Reyane Tradition Insurrection II Wild next.
