You have commissioned your own $130,000 bespoke signature scent from Guerlain, right anon? You're not poor, are you? You're not allowed to post in this general if you are poor. They come in the same 1 liter bee bottle that was originally designed to hold Eau de Cologne Imperiale, a fragrance crafted for Empress Eugenie on the night of her wedding to Napoleon III. You can't post here anymore until you have one made. It's part of the rules.

Been to douglad today. Doesnt le beau parsdise garden smell like toilet air freshner? I feel like such a noselet sometimes
>>18099349It's unbelievably based and twinkpilled
>>18099352a gay air freshener, yes>>18099353ew, gross faggot
>>18099359*Sprays you with angel making you nice and fragrant*
>>18099352>Doesnt le beau parsdise garden smell like toilet air freshner?I don't know. I haven't smelled it yet. But this guy apparently loves it. However he also states that he at first didn't like the original Le Beau, but then grew to love it. So maybe he did just legitimately grow to like the scent or maybe he is being affected by hype. Take it which way you will. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZctQRTl4Ky4
>>18099362>Sprays you with angelBased fragrance based on character from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
>>18099365Ash is based
>>18099365Idk they didnt have the original. I tried the le male elixir though and it also didnt smell like something worth so much hype. Im a bit drunk though so maybe therw is that kek
Is it dumb to wear an animali fragrance during summer when I’ll be sweating a lot? What’s your summer fragrance going to be, bros?
>>18099402Kouros
>>18099337What’s a fragrance that would make a 20 year old girl give me her number then?
>>18099402I will be using Le Beau and probably one of the Vetivers from Guerlain assuming I pick one of them up. Also BDC every so often, maybe Polo Blue as well.

>>18099326Aventus. Tell her how much it costs.
>>18099384Why because his big round moon face reminds you of yourself?
>>18099326Layton
>>18099402Animalic fragrances mimic/enhance the smell of sweat. There's a reason gay leather daddies all wore Kouros to orgies. The question you have to ask yourself is if your goal is to enhance the overall raunchiness or mask/minimize it. There is a time and a place for both.
>>18099326Women literally do not care what fragrance you're wearing. 90% of people will not recognize it even if they've smelled it before. 80% of people won't recognize it if they've worn it before. Only time that happens is if they knew someone they were close to who used it as a signature. And even then, it's usually a "you remind me of x" kind of reaction as opposed to a "that is eau de poopoo by the house of pee". The most important aspect, in this specific situation, is whether it is generally pleasant and how much it costs. If she asks you what it is, tell her. Don't tell her how much it costs though, that's tacky. She'll look it up if she likes you. But you also have to dress nice.

>>18099326That's a man, baby.

has /frag/ established opinion on this? i bought a dupe and it does not smell with dill and pickles so i guess its better? kinda like it actually
>>18099326Layton. Post her penis after you pick her up
>>18099443It smells like every hotel in NYC. I don't hate it, but I also don't really like it.
What's he wearing?
>>18099449Drakkar Noir
>I fell for the Layton memeFuck you fraggots
>>18099311for me it's the opposite, I like the "older" more complex opening of NYI and like I said before the powderiness in NYI is balanced out with a bit of sweetness while in the lalique it's just powder that's a bit creamy and nothing else
>>18099453No you didn't
>>18099284had this, didn't like it
>>18099449Boss number one
>>18099464>Boss number onecan anyone in thread report on how the current bottles smell especially compared to the old ones?

>>18099506>>18099496
>>18099441>That's what my dad wears!anon, I'm afraid your information is ironically out of date. The women who would say that in relation to that fragrance look like pic related. There is a a decent chance zoomettes would find Polo Green a hip vintage throwback.
>>18099352update. I kind of like the coconut on the dry down to be honest. I might consider using this shit actually
>>18099507see >>18099506, which describes >>18099497
How could they discontinue Jamal’s Desert?
fuck off braindead moron and spray sausage in your eyes
>>18099512Original Le Beau has that same or similar note on the dry down as well. I'm assuming the Intense is similar.
>>18099455Fair enough. I agree that the NYI opening is more traditional. It also has clove in the drydown, which I don't get from the Lalique.
>>18099520I meant this fag >>18099516
>>18099520>>18099528so much impotent rage over something so irrelevant and dismal.
>>18099526sadly they only had the paradise garden. I dont like the toilety minty watery layer though.any recommendations for other similar stuff?
>>18099540Other than the original Le Beau and the intense I don't really know. you can probably find it somewhere somewhat cheap online. And it is probably definitely cheaper than Paradise Garden. If you are in the US and are willing to post a PO Box here I will mail a sample to you. I got a sample of Le Beau as part of a gift for my nephew that I have no use for.
>>18099441Correct. I want the girls with daddy issues
>>18099542europoor here. amazing you would be willing to do something like that though. thanks
>>18099443smells like dill and leather. i like every other le labo fragrance better, especially baie and bergamote
>>18099557He would groom you as payment like he does to his nephew and niece
>>18099557he will probably send you gay porn and dragon dildos to go with the sample.
>>18099557Well if you just like the coconut dry down then original Le Beau might be better for you. It really is mainly just tha coconut. It doesn't smell very complicated or much different from the application to the dry down.
>>18099511>P-Polo green? That's what my pop-pop wore. He died last year and I have never wanted his penis.

>>18099574these facebook gifs really aren’t that funny to anyone other than you, florida schizo.
>>18099577Yes, but make sure you're wearing no fewer than 15-20 sprays. The performance on that one is kind of light.

>>18099614Layton
Why does this general keep shilling Layton?
>>18099620Because it has dethroned Aventus as the new king of fragrance
>>18099620Because they're too poor for the real thing - Layton Exclusif
>>18099620Because it's really good
>>18099620because there’s one retard in these threads who thinks it’s any good
>>18099620It's very nice to spray on paper and sniff for myself at home, but vanilla as a note for men will always be gay. And /fa/ is very gay.

>>18099689Mowgli hates Layton and anything else made after 1965
>>18099700Nah, Layton is pretty good. Especially if they've toned down the geranium like everybody keeps saying. Too mentholated, but that's its only real flaw.
>>18099701thank you florida schizo>>18099702>Layton is pretty goodfalse
>>18099631>etremelyThe only retard here is you.
>>18099703>Layton is pretty good>falseCorrect. I was just being modest. It's fair to say that Layton is the second best men's fragrance on the market today. The best is Layton Exclusif
>>18099705the only person who finds this bit funny is you.

I feel like gay dragon unironically posts here. This video seems directed at /perf/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xryZqIa_jn4
>>18099710>pedantry Like the weird ancient greek practice? What the fuck does that have to do with us?
>>18099710I don't see very many pedantic posts like he complained about here.
>>18099717It usually only happens when there are blowout arguments. Not a lot of that today though
>>18099710"They take their taste, their knowledge of fragrance and they equate it to their self-worth." Oh shit If this wasn't aimed at one poster here it definitely describes that person's very fragile ego.
>>18099719ok, the example he gave seemed like he was upset people were griping about batch codes and other things when debating particular versions of a fragrance. I honestly don't see too many people bring up batches here, or even reformulations that much.
>>18099722agreed, i’ve never heard a better characterization of the florida schizo
>>18099710>I feel like gay dragon unironically posts hereI hope he does. I actually like his videos. I think he's doing himself a disservice by not at least playing the algo game a little bit and beefing up the production quality. He's pretty good at speaking extemporaneously, but if he were to script things out more and pivot to a longform video essay format, I think he could have a pretty successful channel. I don't know of a channel that actually does that. He's knowledgeable enough to carve out a niche for himself.

What does he wear
>>18100067Give review anon. I too am interested in this particular fragrance.
>>18099402Depends, heat tends to bring out sweetness and can make it smell better. It can also make it cloying and nasty.
>>18100074Fresh, slightly creamy, a bit sweet peachy fragrance. Very unique. Not as sweet and as heavy as the Sport EE and the Sport version. Really underrated fragrance
>>18099449Azzaro Pour Homme
>>18100074It's simply the best Chanel mass market fragrance.
>>18099990I think most of them are pretty good.
>>18100069New York Intense, Mousse Illuminée, and Eau Sauvage.

I want to smell like the air before a thunderstorm. Any recommendations?
ITS MASSIVE HAPPENINGINVICTUS AQUA OG IS BACK
>>18100145First of all you should want to smell like one of the fragrances available from Fragrance One. And if Fragrance One doesn't offer a scent that smells like the air before a thunderstorm then you shouldn't want to smell like that. That means you don't actually want to smell like that.

Where are these guys in groups like Fragrance Marketplace sourcing from? They regularly beat sites like AuraFragrance, etc. Obviously from overseas where this shit isn't marked up, but idk how they found wholesalers.
>>18100419have you considered those are fakeshave you considered discountshave you considered employee discounts on top of thatstores and warehouses can offload stock for lower prices
What do they smell like?

>>18100431>>18100435>nero l m a o dead weight

>>18100300hahaha ope! he's going niggo mode, oops! haha
>>18097507>>18097629>sick, post a reviewUnfortunately my nose isn’t particularly keen for picking up specific notes even when I have the ingredients / scent profile to use as a guide, so testing Iceflow blind was even more difficult. That being said, frankly I didn’t detect much while testing it, like a less developed version of Icefall. All I got was a light, earthy woody scent, like some of his other fragrances but diluted out. I didn't detect any development beyond the woody/earthy scent, but I’m at over 5 hours as of writing and it’s still going, despite starting out very faint to begin with. So far my favorite has been the Lime Cola. Started off a little waxy, but developed into a sweet citrusy scent with the barest hint of cola scent on the back end of it, like a glass of Coke/Pepsi fizzing a foot or two away. The Delfiño was a strong green vegetal scent, and even without having much/any experience in gardens I could recognize the tomato leaf scent. It was pretty sharp though, and had a kind of green spicy scent to it. Not bad but not to my particular taste.
do you wear fragrances everyday? I only like the heavy ones so sometimes it feels inappropriate so I just skip most days.

I was at douglas today again and I was trying out the gucci floral line. They felt so linear and uninteresting. I mean it would be a pretty nice fragrance for everyday use but not with that price tag. Am I missing something about these that can't be detected just by smelling the scented paper? Do they have a nice dry down, or maybe they work differently on skin?
thoughts on wearing ralph lauren polo green as an early 20s guy with less masculine features? It's all I have. will it smell good to an artist chick or will it smell like I borrowed my dad's cologne?
>>18100579The actual scent doesn't matter unless it's something actually foul, what matters is your confidence wearing the scent.If the fragrance makes you confident that's good for you, if it makes you feel weird or unsure about yourself that's bad
>>18100575I mean you could just try them on skin but more likely they are just bad/mediocre.Gucci used to have some really really good scents but they are now unfortunately discontinued.gucci guilty absolute and pour homme parfum are the ones I know to be good nowadays.
>>18100579>will it smell like I borrowed my dad's cologne?If anyone in her family wore Polo Green it was her Dad's dad. You are safe from any previous association with the scent most likely. Also just whatever you like most. Except in really rare occasions, every fragrance will smell good to people.
>watch Jeremy fragrance tiktok>girl asks him if she smells nice>some guy in the background says it doesnt matter because shes pretty so she can wear anythinglmfaooooits over
>>18100575I really liked the purple bottle. buying that for future gf so i can smell it all the time
Can I start wearing women fragrances? Would anybody care? I really like some of them
>>18100594For a lot it really isn't a big deal. But there can be some fragrances that are too feminine for a man to wear. Might be different rules for a gay guy.
>>18100585Guy in the back was 100% correct tho LMAO
>>18100594the vanilla sugar cookie frags will definitely out you as gay, you might be able to pull off 'feminine' florals
>>18100594no one would care, no
>>18100601>vanilla sugar cookie fragsThis is already like half of all designer meme "winter" frags for ""men"" in the year 2024 anyways. If everyone else smells gay it should be fine.
are we engaged with the higher self, /fa/?
>>18100606No not the like "spicy vanilla" shit, I'm talking the ones that smell like you just baked a batch of cookies, they're sweet and vanilla. I don't even know what they are but I've smelled it on like half a dozen girls at my gym, they are apex feminine.
how faggy would coco mademoiselle intense be?
>>18100611Fair 'nuff kek. Layton already smells very close to that to my nose>>18100612Very faggy, my mom wears that.

Luca Turin's Cartier samples >Baiser Volé parfumBaiser Volé (stolen kiss) is a minimal interpretation of a perfumery theme I particularly love, the chaud-froid, to borrow an old-fashioned culinary term. I first encountered it in Jean-Michel Duriez’s magnificent Yohji Homme, a fresh, spacious, cooling accord atop a warm, liquorice-spicy confection. Laurent has streamlined the contrasting pairing to a lily note, which smells very lavender-like to me, on top of a smooth coumarin-vanilla accord, reminiscent of a classic fougère. The familiarity of the materials, the wonderfully smooth articulation between them, and the deceptive simplicity of the structure all add up to an inexplicably affecting monochrome, a sepia photo that in time makes you feel color was uncalled for.
>La Panthère parfumI have been remiss with La Panthère. I smelled the EdT rather cursorily when it came out, and I did not form a definite impression. Now Cartier has sent me samples and I went for the parfum concentration. I now see what all the fuss is about. It’s beautiful. This said, I have to disclose a personal bias: I am not very fond of big liquor-like rose fragrances. They seem to tickle with a slight discomfort, similar to the feeling I get when touching flock wallpaper. Up close, there is a raspiness to La Panthère that reminds me of both Nahema and Cacharel’s Loulou.But that is probably not a fair test. La Panthère, like Shalimar, is an action-at-a-distance fragrance, a ballistic device that sends a widening smoke ring of perfume travelling out across the room to its intended target. Both are best judged at ten paces and can feel coarse up close. When I sprayed it on a strip, Tania almost immediately said, “That smells nice,” while I was still struggling with the thunderous bang at my end. In the Monclin, a completely different aspect prevails, a lovely transparent rose with, unusually, a pear accord making up the other half of the fruity-floral. Mathilde Laurent’s mastery of radiance is second to none. This is definitely a fragrance to be worn and used for its intended purpose, not assessed on a strip.
>>18100691>>18100693no one in this thread cares about cartier perfumes lol, not enough woody amber aromachemical bombs.
Just hit fragrance #36 and decided I need to burn through all of these before I buy any more… this hobby is too expensive even with samplingIt has been a true pleasure /frag/ despite many of you being sassy, prissy, faggy, pretentious narcissists good luck on your own fragrance journey and retail addictionSOTD the humble H24 EDP
>>18100702I just recently started and yes it is expensive for me too. I'm going to limit myself to nor more than one new bottle a month and then maybe even scale that down later.
>>18100705that is a solid strategy
>>18100702>>18100705Not sure why you fags keep buying full bottles. Even a 3ml sample lasts long enough for me to get bored of the scent around the time I finish it. Then you have your 5-10ml twisty bottle decants too, which are even better.
>>18100702Okay, bye anon. I love you. Also just buy Layton and be done with it. It's the only good fragrance.
>>18100709>Even a 3ml sample lasts long enough for me to get bored of the scent around the time I finish itStop buying crap, then.
>>18100431>Dante Kalan>Nero Layton Exclusif
>>18100713More intelligent minds seek out novel experiences. You're probably just dumb anon
>>18100716Owning a plastic bag full of decants sure makes you a special kind of scholar and gentleman.
>>18100719>bagempty 9mm trays fit 2ml samples perfectly
>>18100719It's a cardboard box, actually. And it's certainly a better use of money than your closet full of 60ml bottles that you'll never finish.
>>18100709frags are not getting any better. stock up on what you like and gtfo.
>>18100722>60mlI don't mess with small bottles.
>>18100709I don't get bored with the fragrances I have. Granted I don't have many currently but I like them all. I just get interested in others. But that doesn't stop me from still using and enjoying the ones I have.
>>18100726Only proves my point further then.
>>18100734I'm not a poorfag so buying full bottles of shit I like does not present a financial burden to me and I don't need to hoard vials in a box in hopes to make ends meet at the end of the month like you, professor.
>>18100738Took 4 whole replies for him to pull out the "poorfag" card this time - this has to be a new record!Btw, let's just remind ourselves of the original posts that started this reply chain, shall we...>>18100702>>18100705Hm, what was that about being rich again? Kek
>>18100740lmfao theyre always so predictable
>vial hustler thinks these are all the same peopleWhat a brilliant mind.
>Um i-i-it was actually someone else broLmao'ing at your life right now
>>18100740>>18100746No you are literally getting confused by multiple different people
>inspect element>doesn't even know how to remove the red border so he had to crop it out of the screenshotLMFAO the absolute state of rich-larpers on this board
>>18100754you are coping and melting
>>18100754It's ok, fren. Tomorrow is a new day and you'll get a new chance to not be a retard.
>damage controlMaybe stop larping so much all the time and you won't get read like a book like this. Absolutely embarassing display.
>>18100174Not much experience with fragrances but this was my favorite until they discontinued it. Apparently picrel is similar?
>>18100779Not sure but I think Acqua di Gio is the number one selling men's fragrance line of all time so lots of other people share you opinion.
>>18100174is that a crack rock in the third row
>>18100784Never smelt it but notes include marine accords, so maybe it supposed to be sea salt?
>>18100779i just ordered it so I'll let you know. People seem to say it's a little softer and more mass appealing because they replaced the incense with frankincense.
What is she wearing ?

>>18100693my mom has the EDT of La Panthere, I've always liked it a lotreally nice and distinctive for a modern female designer fragrance. fruity, mossy and with a ton of clean white musk.
>>18099298actually you have to have at least 6 (one for each season) otherwise you should literally get off 4chan forever and possibly kys
>>18100497Current version? Sorry still fairly new to fragrances
This any good?
