Why do we hate it again?
>>18163521Well, they don't smell good, they smell great.You should give it a try.
>>18163523you don’t find LADAS too powdery for warm weather? also, lately i’ve found that it’s reminiscent of arm and hammer alpine clean laundry detergent, which makes me wonder about the similarity in the name. >>18163531not really, no. it smells like sycomore but cheap and repulsive, with an iso e super overdose almost designed to make you noseblind to it just to ensure that you don’t even get your $20’s worth out of it.
>>18163534Some frags evolve with time, maybe your nose evolve too, give it another try, now.
>>18163538>talking about the development of encre noire as of it’s some sort of formally profound fragrance and not just a cheapo iso e super vetiver bombLOL
>>18163534>you don’t find LADAS too powdery for warm weather?nope, just fine for me
>>18163542interesting. maybe i’ll give it a try next week.
He doesn't look good
>>18163550evolving from bad to worse, yes. shit only gets barer by the second. stop behaving like encre noire has some sort of grand revelation in the drydown like chamade or something.

Ok anons, please help me waste my time and money. Got a bonus at work, deciding to blow 10% post tax on frags and save the rest. I have $600, I want to get 2 or 3 frags for the summer. I'd like to get something with citrus, woods and musk that doesn't smell like Aventus or it's clones but has a similar feel. Bohemian Lime doesn't smell like Aventus at all, but it has a similar setup (lime, woods, musk). That's the sort of thing I'm looking for.Frags I've been using lately in the heat:>Francesca Bianchi Libertine Neroli>Bois 1920 Classic>Thomas Kosmala Desir du Couer>Les Indemodables Escale en Indonesie >Loewe 7 Plata>Mancera Aoud Lemon Mint>Parfums d'empire Azemour Les Oranges>Nishane Colognise>Chanel Paris Edinburgh

All of you say he was nice and now he's ruined. How exactly does his new content differ from his old?
Just got this recently. Wore it the other night. I like it
i went to a beauty store yesterday to buy hair products. while i was there, i tried on versace dylan blue. it smelled very nice.
>>18163717>inb4 Absolute is better
>>18163711>How exactly does his new content differ from his old?it really doesn't
wtf yo! my favorite counterfeit fragrance store deleted all the fragrance names from the website and now there are only these codes that I don't understand at all. wtf is happening? can't a guy buy a fragrance anymore? Can't a business mind their own business? Aint no nigga finna clap sum bumbaclot til sheit gets serious yo ?
>>18163717Tried this but just didn't get the hype. Givenchy Gentlemen EDP has a somewhat similar smell that's better.

>>18163510Kenzo Homme Eau de Parfum
>>18163683Those are all shit
thoughts on this one
I was told I did too many sprays. Is 3 sprays of Dior Homme 2020 EDT too much? I couldn't smell it around me.
>>18163806Never heard of givinchy. Maybe ill get a little decant or something
>>18163772Maybe ill get a little decant of this too
>>18163528I mean… just look at that bottle, and then the name on top of it? Not a chance. Weird, I distinctly remember >>18163598 this scene, but don’t remember >>18163550 this one at all. >>18163617I’ve only tried Kyoto from that list, and while interesting, I would prefer either Avignon or Tauer’s Incense Rose over it. Not bad though. >>18163689I can confirm Bohemian Lime is a great summer freshie if you don’t already have it. You’ll occasionally see people claim they associate it with the smell of hotdogs (I think the coriander note?) so don’t blind buy, but great choice. >Francesca Bianchi Libertine NeroliTwo things worth point out regarding Bianchis. 1) Her DNA is extremely distinctive, to the point where if you own more than one of her frags they’re borderline redundant because of how similar they are. 2) This may be unique to Etruscan Water, but I think it’s true of all her frags, they’re loud as fuck. Projection, sillage, duration, they’re all high, so keep that in mind.Slight addendum as well, imo they’re pretty heavy too, so if you follow the traditional ‘weather’ suggestions I don’t think hers would be a good fit for summer. It doesn’t really fit your citrus, woods, musk request, but if you’d like another summer freshie that’s different that most hot weather frags, get >Ghost in the Shell

Trying Zino for the first time and wow hahaha, it smells good, but damn is this the definition of an old man fragrance.
>>18163864Ahhh, right, that’s a little more familiar.
>>18163497what are some perfumes that give a medieval vibe?
>>18163671realistically? none
>>18163671ideally? none.
>>18163887That’s a pretty broad request, Iron Duke does a pretty reasonable job imitating the scent of medieval knight, imo. Chandlery by Pineward also gives a very unique ‘old timey’ feel. I imagine an old wood hewn shack filled with animal hides and tallow candles, a fire crackling away in the fireplace.
Has anyone tried pic related or any other Ajmal? I had Hommage a l'homme Voyageur by Lalique, this one also has patchouli and cardamom, are they anything alike?Also thinking about buying Loewe 7, had a sample years ago and really liked it, has it been watered-down in the meantime?
>>18163920>Iron Duke does a pretty reasonable job imitating the scent of medieval knight, imoWhat a retarded statement
I must admit Im blown away. More like encre noire?
>>18163970Try the flankers, as for other frags, apparently Chanel Sycomore is similar.
>>18163676never tried it but really want to. think i'll just blind buy.i own fahrenheit and a few Acqua di Parma. love those
>>18163510Fico di Amalfi and Bleu Turquoise
>>18163820no bitches?
>>18164000yes, only a bitch could enjoy sauvage or aventus.

Should fragrance be sprayed until skin glistens? I see some people on YouTube spraying multiple sprays on the same spot. I'm worried that I may choke people, but on the other hand Joel the nose says people usually under spray and the normal spraying routine should be 10-12 sprays per application.ON the other hand fragrances are expensive and I don't want to spray a lot, so I choose the following. Instead of spraying 5 times every day, I spray 15 times twice per week.
>>18163970Why does pic have a brown cap?It should be black.
>>18164094I think its just trying to display that it's wooden or something
Hi frag Anons, I would love to have your input on the following:(Context: I am a beginning frag enthusiast, wanting to start a small collection. I currently own: Dior Eau Sauvage, Lalique EN, Lalique PH Lion, Joe Malone Fig Lotus (gift from brother), Givenchy Pi (first perfume I bought myself, don't like it all anymore, pretty shitty but hey we all start somewhere.))I want to add a bit more variety to my collection, but not sure where to start. Pretty sure I would like to steer clear of most common designer stuff. I have been reading up on perfumers such as Nicolai, Zoologist, Caron.I am considering buying the sample set from Nicolai, can't go wrong with having several samples, even though I might not like half of them, would be good to experiment with.As for Zoologist, it seems that they are hit or miss for a lot of folks, will definitely sample before buying one. Might consider ordering a few samples from their website at some point.I also have been looking at the scent profiles of Pour Un Homme, Aimez moi comme je suis, and Yatagan.I know that Yatagan is considered to be quite a "wild" fragrance by many, but I like to think I can handle it (haven't smelled it though). Basing this on the following: I do have Encre Noir, a perfume which many characterize as "dark", "piny", but I honestly think it is pretty smooth, relatively agreeable, if not a bit darker scent. Going off the Yatagan description, I think this might be what I am looking for. The other two Caron's I mentioned; aimez moi, not sure I will like the nutty note so will probably not even consider it. Pour un homme sounds nice, although a bit dated. Not sure how dated though, I have Lalique PH Lion which some people call old fashioned, I think it's perfectly wearable for a 20 - 30 year old.I would also at some point like to add a proper winter scent to my collection. Any tips for this as well?Thanks!
You should only have 1, 2 maybe 3 fragrances. One for Cold weather, one for Hot weather and one for when you want something different. I currently have 5 fragrances with me and another 9 at home. We shouldn't be greedy.
>>18164109What if I have more than that
>>18164106Don't sleep on designer fragrances. Mass appealing means that people like them, and you are people. They are made to smell good, so don't snob them.
>>18164106Probably nobody will read this.
>>18164110If you have more fragrances than me, then you will starve. If you have more than 3, then you will be miserable for the rest of your life
>>18164115>then you will be miserable for the rest of your lifeThat I knew before anyway
>>181641061. read the OP2. check the charts3. read LT's guides4. lurk moar5. ????6. PROFIT!!!you are welcome
>>18163497Fragrance tipsEat the drink Only buy if bottle looks nice. Imagine how lazy the designer would be to make a boring bottle. Imagine how much he doesn't care about what he made if it's a boring bottleSpray on your skin, not on your clothes. Fragrance is designed to last longer on your skin Spray it on your clothes, not on your skin. The fabric allows the fragrance to project more Spray the correct amount. Why are you an idiot? Jeremy says 5 times, joel says 11, curly says 30. So do it! Why are you doing it wrong?Only wear top 10 fragrances. If you don't know the top 10 fragrances, look it up on YouTube and you'll be enlightened Again, eat the drink
>>18164138i do all of these except i only buy cheap gragrances that are inspired by expensive ones
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting
>>18163865Let's see your collection Mohammed.
>>18164106Discovery sets are your friend. Low volume, wide variety (depending on the house), and cheap if the sample number isn’t huge. If you’re looking to get into this as a hobby, buy them just for the experience. Mind you it’s an expensive and socially ostracized hobby. Also, it’s the hardest rule to learn and you probably won’t learn it until it’s too late, but never buy a full bottle of something until you’ve drained a smaller decant of it, preferably at least 10 mL. Keep that bottle of Pi as a reminder.As far as sample sets go, you’ll find most of them (most houses in general) are like how you described Zoologist, 1-2 big names from the house, a bulk of mediocre fragrances, and 1-3 hard misses they keep for posterity or something.As far as good discovery sets, as you mentioned Nicolai is decent, perfect example where it has New York Intense, arguably her biggest frag, and a bunch of extremely mid stuff.Rogue Perfumery is similar, big hits with Mousse Illuminee and Bon Monsieur, a few mids, 1-2 low tier stuff.Etat Libre d’Orange is a great cheap set to pickup with a huge variety, more misses but essential for the experience. Essential Parfums’ discovery set is the epitome of a dirt cheap set with a decent range. If you’re willing to drop a little more money Zoologist does have a really good variety of frags, but as you said they’re very hit or miss. If you’re going to get them, only get the full set, never just a portion. Pineward is even more narrow in scope (woods/earth), but has some unique fragrances you won’t find anywhere else. Beaufort London is another good house if you’re into darker, smokier type frags. Tauer also has many great works but they only come broken up into smaller batches, all three are worth getting though. Last, and most importantly: this >>18164112Ignore the idiotic war waged between designer and niche tards. Both have their merits, both have a place, to forsake one is to deprive yourself.
>>18164195Just as a very brief addendum to that last paragraph, the only downside is designer houses don’t really do discovery sets. The trade-off is you can usually find a nearby department store or two to try what interests you on a card, and then get a couple samples to take home and try on skin - all completely free.
>>18163868Went from trying Zino (and Avignon) to testing Quorum (and The Dreamer). Fuck.The 90’s were the best time to be a kid but holy shit the 80’s were clearly the best time to be an adult. Again, opens as a distinctly “old man” scent, but this is good shit.
>>18164235>opens as a distinctly “old man” scentwake up, it's a psyop. it's all in your head
>>18163671if I'm being honest, there is no way I'll spend 100+$ to smell so boring and apologeticlame line
>>18163510been wearing tons of eau de rochas homme
>>18163970try some more vetivers. starting with the guarlain if tobacco vetiver sounds good to you
>>18163528"we" don't. It's a good fresh fragrance. it's simple linear and mildly interesting because of the rose + green pairing. It's a perfectly fine buy from a discounter (not worth full)
>>18164280>apologeticgee, what a faggot

Rate my colognes bros
>>18164305none of these are colognes, and none of them are any good either.
>>18164293I think fahrenheit is fine for summer. it's fresh enough imo.
Fragrance is essential to aquire a woman, because women pay attention to smell. In fact it's the most important physical feature we men can have, even more important than height. And that's not lies, scientists say that.Of course personality matters too, but since you should always be yourself and never someone else, you can only change your personality slightly.If you're wondering why you get rejected, why you don't get attention and looks, then you should try increasing those sprays. I promise you'll see the difference, people are going to act differently and they're going to love you.
I bought the usual dupes from Lattafa and Armaf and, after a week, they still smell very synthetic. I smelled the Aventus, Silver Mountain Water, and Angel share that they were based on to compare, and it's ridiculous how people really think the clones are even marginally close to the originals. How the fuck did they get away with this?
>>18164336>things that didn't happen
>>18164336>buy literal dune coon knockoffs of rejected briefs bastardized by a failed tailor>complain when they suckit’s like you were trying to find reasons to complain.
>>18164367What the fuck are you on about faggot?No shit I'm going to give them a try after so many people rave about them. The fact that so many people are shilling them and encourage others to buy them is a phenomenon as retarded as you are.
Sotd: le beau le parfumAlready got a compliment first hour. From a guy but still
>>18164370you bought a knockoff of an inherently shitty perfume based on a shitty premise and complained it was shitty. why would you buy something that’s fundamentally shitty in every respect from the outset and then complain that you got dogshit?
>>18164384if anyone needed proof that JPG is as gay as it gets, here it is in the flesh.
>>18164392Because I wanted to see the reason for the hype you fucking downy.
>>18163497Whats the least cancer inducing perfume that also has good performance?
>>18164443kouros
>>18164336You're right. Every clone I've tried has had to go in the bin - except cdnim in fairness, which was passable.
Explain to me why 1 Million is one of the best fragrance in the world. I heard zoomers love it.
>>18164384
>>18164450It was hugely popular here ten years ago the way sauvage is now. I guess ten years is a long time to zoomers so they think they're rediscovering it.
>>18163676It's good for the price.Drakkar Noir, no contest.
>>18164419there are people who hype up getting fucked in the ass too, are you pining to get your butthole blown out anytime soon?
Armafbros, we're getting bullied...>>18163764
>>18164493rightfully so
>>18163895>>18163914imagine being this lame. Allure line is superb
>>18163671231
>>18161596Tuxedo is the most versatile frag I've ever tried. Good for literally every single occasion, while also being interesting and attractiveConcentre d'orange is really good but shit longevityWood and wood is not woody and also boringBody Kouros smells like a spa.
>>18163510My summer rotation has been Eau Sauvage, Guerlain Vetiver, Eau de Guerlain, and The Different Company Bergamote.
>>18164504there is literally nothing lamer than allure, it’s so fucking lame that karl lagerfeld himself described it at launch as “not a fragrance”. it doesn’t get much more damning than that.
>>18164517who cares what some dumb boomer says. Allure line is sexy af and all the girls love it, it moggs your junk like Bois Des Iles or Le Lion or whatever stinky old lady bs they release
>>18164106I feel like we have similar tastesTry guerlain Habit Rouge, Heritage and Vetiver. Maybe Eau de Guerlain tooNYI from Nicolai is good, but it's pretty similar to Lalique Lion in the drydown, so not sure if you would want both.Boucheron pour homme and Davidoff Zino are some cheapies you might like
>>18164195Quality post
>>18164506You count from the left or from the right?

>>18164575>jaques polslmao
Before you buy Versace Dylan blue It's not original. Mix of Dior sauvage and aqua di gio profumo. Nothing uniqueIt's a fantastic price-value proposition. It's long lasting, versatile and gets you a lot of compliments It's extra versatile, the Swiss knife of fragrances It profile has patchouli, bergamot and a rich depth It's not the best Versace, the best one is Eros. But it is the second best one
>>18164575Just buy Armaf CDNIM Blue Iconic
Before you buy Invictus It's a very synthetic fragrance There are alternatives such as ultramaleIt's a very casual smelling fragrance, playful for clubbing situation Buy the original not the flankers Ladies love this thing, sweet sexy bad boy DNA

Fragrances are so subjective It brings you back with it's unique bold dna, it evokes memories
Before you buy one million The top note is the only good thing about this fragrance, with a zesty grapefruit noteIt turns sickenly sweetIt's reformulated, it doesn't last so long anymore It's super unique, it has been copied to the death for it's uniqueness It's a party fragrance, not gym or office fragrance. Nice experiences with sex are associated with it
Before you buy aqua di gioYou won't smell unique, it's so popular everyone wears it The performance is terrible There are many substitutes, fragrance copies are bad and immoral but they are better and cheaper First fragrance to use aquatic chalone It's a must buy
Before you buy terre d hermesIt's a vetiver based fragrance, it's not for everybody it's extremely woodyIt's only for mature men, not for teenagersNot a compliment beastThe best mainstream vetiver, vetiver smells like a burned steak. High quality luxury, not synthetic It's for those who want to be different, for those not geared towards compliments and status

Before you buy oud woodit's the best entry level oud fragrance Performance and potency is just average, not so good Ladies like it, nice compliment getter Tom Ford started the oud trendIt's very versatile, you can get away with wearing it anywhere. It's not stinky and works fantastically Don't buy it, go with a real oud fragrance
>>18164600you are welcome - kouros is still great in 2024>>18164607ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about Jeremy's cocaine addiction
Before you buy boss buttholed It's a very versatile fragrance, it's a signature fragrance Performance is just okay, and it should last longer since it has cinnamon Creative fragrance DNA to this date, with apple cinnamon accordThe ladies approve this HARD, they absolutely love it, they've been smelling it on cool guys and cool ceo type of guys It's not up to date anymore, technically timeless but the apple is synthetic and it has been overdone and the dna is so common. Outdated dna
>>18164611>boss buttholed
>>18164607>Tom Ford started the oud trendYSL M7 on suicide watch
>>18164613m7 was also tom ford
Before you buy Bleu de Chanel eau de toilette in 202fouroneIt's the best bleu de Chanel concentration Ultra timeless fragrance dna. Grapefruit, patchouli, cedarwood. It will smell cool in 1000 years from now and was Cool 1000 years agoIt loses against Dior sauvage in compliments, buy Dior sauvage edt 200mlOne of the last creations of Jacques polshPlacebo effect works, it's stupid but the world works like that. You trick your, sorry to say, stupid brain when wearing Chanel fragrance
Before you buy spicebomb One of the best creations of Olivier polsch, creative yet mass appealing fragrance Huge attention grabber because it's full of spices, pepper oriental sweetness Spicebomb extreme is better, people say spicebomb is alright, the green one is the best. Spicebomb extreme is more likeable and longer lasting Great for grabbing as well as cold weather.It's not very versatile because it's so distinct and powerful and bold, also not good for the summer. Great creation of Olivier polsch
>>18164617Smells like soap>>18164629Smells like granny perfume/bay rum
Before you buy nautica voyage It's been reformulated, not as strong as it used to be but still strong enough Super price -value proposition, the ladies love it and it's very versatile One of the best fresh fragrances on the market Maurice Russell master perfumerLadies love this fragrance. 400 creed, 500 oud... This scores better in ladies reaction. It's a ladies reaction megastar All season all occasions versatile fragrance
Before you buy wanted by night Cinnamon gorgeousness, nice aftershave type of a vibe Perfect for the fall time, not sweet not fresh. Good transition from summer to winterThe performance is very good 8 hours It's the best azzaro fragrance The ladies love it, it's not sauvage or Eros, but it's almost like that in likeability.
Before you buy dior fahrenheit It's mega mega mega unique with a gasoline accord It's been copied to death, a copy is Mercedes Benz intense Performance is good in edt, parfum is beastLadies reactions are ok, the dna is not like it used to be. Ladies prefer 30 dollar shower gel fragrances over this Buy it as a gift to someone that loves it and don't blind buy it.
Before you buy emporio Armani stronger with you It's a nut based fragrance. Peanuts, chestnuts, walnuts, macadamia nuts. Nice nutty aroma that will make you hungry. Unique dnaPerformance is fantastic It's a grown man compliment fragrance. Eros, Invictus are childish. If you want something mature, this is itThe best sweet Armani fragrance Don't buy any of the flankers Sweet sexy clubbing fragrance or a fall winter fragrance
>>18164607>>18164613>>18164616I thought it was started by Arabs
Before you buy Dior sauvage parfumIt is the worst flankers of all sauvages, it's just a creamy weird dna which is not goodThe ladies do love this Performance is not so good like you would think but still great Johnny Depp is cool. Everybody is becoming the same 1 human being, is that good? Johnny Depp is the cool guy dancing with an Indian guy, go see the adThe smell is easily explained fresh and fruity through bergamot It's spicy and masculine through pepper And ultra Long lasting through ambroxan

>>18164649he’s obviously referring to the western oud trend which began with M7. arab ouds predate it by centuries, obviously, but none of us here wear attars so it doesn’t matter.

I want a fragrance for the summer, but I don't want a typical freshie or aquatic or citrus bomb.I want something cozy and chill.Should I blind buy Caron PUH?
>>18164681If I eat peanuts, my ears start to itch.
>>18164683WTF is genet?
>>18164692what if you're close to a peanut? if you touch one? if you smell one? have you tried any of those?
>>18164689you can never go wrong with pour un homme>>18164698don’t reply to the coomer mutt, thanks
>>18164709You recommending it isn't a great endorsement. I'll wait for other anons to give their opinion.
>>18164689aqua di gio profumo has incense bleu de chanel tooaxe dark temptation is the best axe but I don't know if it works in the summerle male has vanilla and lavender for coziness combined with mint, orange blossom and bergamot for chill prada luna rosa ocean has lavender and musk for coziness and bergamot for freshnessluna rosa carbon has lavender and metallic notesyou shouldn't buy caron puh
>>18164713i also endorse eating food, drinking water, breathing air and getting a job. better stop doing all those things.
>>18164714he said cozy and chill, not gay and faggoty
>>18164717I generally don't like the frags you rave about, or old fashioned frags in general. But everyone seems to say that PUH is timeless so who knows
>>18164705Nothing
>>18164724a good chunk of the frags i wear these days are from the last decade, but sure.
>>18164722wtf is wrong with you? you walk around with this attitude? you consider yourself a part of the society? firstly it's ok to be gay and secondly I gave good advice
>>18164726then peanut fragrances are safe for you as long as you don't eat the drink
>>18164729you gave good advice for gay guys, yeah.
>>18164727I'll blind buy it and if it's another old man frag I will find you and beat you to death with a lead pipe

>>18164737it is an old man frag, it’s 90 years old. i don’t know what exactly you’re expecting here.
>>18164777NYI smells like an old man but it's not that old. It's about scent profiles more than actual age and lavender + vanilla sounds good on paper, also everyone says it's smooth as fuck and refreshing while not being a typical freshie
>>18164737I wouldn't say "old man", but I don't know what you associate with age. its a pleasant lavender throughout, that dries down into soft vanilla musk. its more unisex than "old man". I bought a sample and drained it, then bought a bottle. 4 - 5 hours, low projection, pleasant scent to be around.
>>18164782Unisex is fine. It's just some scent profiles I just associate with grandpas. Most chypres, stuff like NYI, eau sauvage, a few others.
any fragrances or profile notes pointing me to the direction of this
>>18164783I agree with you on most of the scents listed: I enjoyed NYI, even bought a 10 mL decant but find myself at a loss of when to use it. Eau Savauge reminds me of a generation of my friends older brothers and so I have an aversion to that kind of profile. nah, Caron PUH is quite simple and straight forward and most of all, Lavender.
>>18164781Nyi is too cloying
>>18164766I don't know any of these, you must be a complete loser

>>18163860>Her DNA is extremely distinctive, to the point where if you own more than one of her frags they’re borderline redundant because of how similar they are.This is mostly true for her leather heavy fragrances imo. Many of the others have their own thing going on, although they have the iris DNA somewhere in them.
What are some quintessential CITY POP frags?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__B9z527eI0
What do you guys think of this? I'm thinking of buying unless there's a better incense frag out there

YSL Y EDP lasts 10 hours on me. Dior Sauvage EDP barely lasts 4 hours. What's wrong?
>>18164854you go noseblind to sauvage edp, obviously.
>>18164793Demeter Paperback but it's been watered down
Should I get ADG Porfumo or YSL Y EDP Intense?
>>18164849Me.I'd like a bigger selection in the style that doesn't consist of massively reformulated vintage fragrances or massively overpriced niche fragrances
>>18163510I love this shit so much, smells better than normal Soleil Blanc to me while also being like half the price. Was afraid being an EDT would make the performance shit but it's not bad
>>18164862What would you consider overpriced?

>>18164859get ysl y edp

L'eau d'issey 75ml for 40 bucks, worth it?Also getting Voyage d'Hermes and Caron PUH. Maybe Kenzo EDP, not sure yet.
i just loaded up on brand new and sealed vintage a*men flankers... pure malt from 2009, pure havane from 2011, pure leather 2012, etc. yes the prices were obscene, i dont care. also got a mid 2000's a*men original. love this stuff so much.>>18164866recently bought this for my wife and its a nice light island coconut scent.
>>18164781NYI smells like a semi-oriental fougere which is a genre invented in the 80s, which accurately reflects the decade the original new york came out in. compare it to guerlain’s heritage and the parallel becomes pretty obvious. if you find stuff from the 80s dated, i have no idea how you won’t find something from the 30s dated, unless you literally think pour un homme is just an abstract accord of vanilla and lavender and not a fully fledged perfume with a personality. >>18164846hopefully never. i don’t want people copping my style. >>18164876the only fougeres here are beau du jour and at the barbers. one is a zino clone, the other is discontinued, (proving that it didn’t sell well) and both are shit.
>>18164846Maybe try 80s-90s blue fragrances. They are fougeres but with aquatic notes.
>>18164934I ordered a bottle of Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui.Looking very much forward to it
Guys I was thinking about getting gucci guilty elixir as it has pretty good projection on longevity, do you think there is anything as good in this price range?
>>18164965i smelled it in the store the other day.Disgusting bubble gum smell.
>>18164781I think what you're looking for sounds more like either Fucking Fabulous (horrible name, great scent) or a few different Prada frags (forget exact names but they do a lot w vanilla/lavender). Caron is nice but the guy saying you personally will find it dated based on your other posts is probably right
>>18164967>18164967>>18164967I wanted to get a perfume for festival which is strong but it's hard to find something as good which is somehow unique and not full on mainstream, do you know any?
>>18164970what kind of scent are you looking for?
>walked into sephora to try out some testers>half of the bottles were emptyI dont know of any other stores with testers around me.
>>18164912I solded my Ultra zest to a work buddy for like 25 Now it costs ten times this. But always liked Pure Leather over any flanker, maybe except the original
>>18164968>great scent>tom ford>>18164970>which is strong>not mainstreamau coeur du desert, midnight stag, alpha & kirza both by g parfums
>>18164968I didn't like fucking fabulous. Never tried pradaI don't know what I should get then. These >>18164900 are currently in my basket as options for the summer. I like voyage and kenzo, never tried l'eau d'issey. What else would you suggest?
>>18164987>>18164994I was also thinking bout something from Mancera since it also has good strength and is pretty sexy, what do you think bout instant crush or cedrat boise?
>>18165020I really hate cedrat boise. I haven't smelled instant crush thoughtry Brioni EDP Intense if you want something strong, easy to like and not overused

>>18164767My dad always said Bogart had hob genes, and he believed it totally. Hobs (to him anyway) were little angry goblins, and he said Bogart's mother must have been raped by one. He said hating Bogart ran in the family because my grandfather once tried to find him and fight him during a vacation in hollywood. He tried to pass down this hate of goblin rape baby bogart like a family heirloom but I think by the time I was born nobody cared about bogart anymore and he secretly resented it because there wasn't anyone around anymore to listen to him get mad about that stodgy little cradle robbing midget pulling up bacall's dress. To this day I don't really care about Bogart but seeing him in a noir brings back memories of my dad screaming about what a dishonest worm that man was and I'd be lying if it didn't negatively color my opinion of movies like sierra madre.
>>18164677Is that a fucking liter bottle, or a prop?>>18164821I’ve smelled most of her stuff on a strip, most recently Libertine Neroli, and can personally attest to trying Etruscan Water, Black Knight, and Sticky Fingers on skin. You’re probably right about the Orris Butter playing a big role in her DNA profile, but I don’t find it (the DNA as a whole) limited to leather frags. >>18164833Where’s this pic from? (Geographically)>>18164834Never smelled it but if you haven’t already tried them CdG’s various incense frags are good, Tauer’s Incense Rose is great, Incense Extreme is a little boring for me but may be worth checking out, and Rien and Rien Intense Incense are also candidates. >>18164970Not sure where you’re at, but if you’re looking for a festival frag (which I’m reading as hot outdoors) and you want some fresh but loud, you’re pretty limited. >Ghost in the ShellIs the only thing that comes to mind. Speaking of Etruscan Water… personally I find it heavy as fuck and not suited to hot weather, but a lot of people rate it as all season and it’s loud as fuck, so maybe that?>SOTD: Terre d’Hermes EdT
>>18165079what the fuck does this post have to do with perfume
>>18165079incredible story in all honesty>>18165099>Is that a fucking liter bottle, or a prop?the number one fragrance youtuber that follows the teachings of jesus christ would not use a fake prop bottle
>>18165111Ignore it and move on. Don’t give it attention, don’t give it >(you)’s, it has as much to do with the thread as the coomer poster that spams out 20+ lines of text talking about sex and then a single line vaguely referencing a frag so it can claim to be ‘on topic’.
>>18164900L'eau d'issey is genuinely an excellent scent, performance is just not good. I would recommend getting a small decant alongside it so you can re-apply as necessary. I get by with applying in the morning and around 1pm.
>>18164990pre leather imo is the closest to the original, great scent
eau de PARFURRRRRRRRRRR
It's literally the best smelling fragrance out there. And it's not THAT expensive. Instead of buying five shitty fragrances, just buy Aventus.
>>18165153anyone know his profession?
>>18165156I'd prefer GIT if I were to get any Creed, already killed a 5mL decant.
>>18165156>It's literally the best smelling fragrance out thereNope. Maybe it used to be until 2019 at the latest, but acting like it's still the same quality now as it was when it first came out is absurd.It's one of the greats, no doubt. But claiming it's the best ever just means you don't really have your own tastes and are letting random people on TikTok make decisions for you
Trying Encre Noire and ENS for the first time. Can’t say I care for EN, it’s not particularly bad, but it’s not great either. The opening is okay (first 15~ or so), but smells like bone dry wood though. Admittedly smelled a bit more dank when I primed the atomizer and got a whiff of some directly in the air. After that though it just smells like faux wood, a bit akin to particle board, but different. Have to assume that’s just the smell of vetiveryl acetate, and I don’t care for it. The Sport is similar in structure just different scent. Starts out pretty great actually, a pleasant clean, green potpourri scent with a marine undertone in the front. After 30 min though the green and marine notes die off just leaving the vaguely pseudo-clean scent that’s borderline floral. The sport is better than the original for me, but neither wow me.
>>18165175Honestly the only vetivers you really need are Guerlain Vetiver and Tom Ford Grey Vetiver.
>>18165179I’m a fan of Terre d’Hermes, although I know it’s not as vetiver centric.
>>18165156lol, lmao, rofl even>>18165179tom ford sucks cock
>>18165186>tom ford sucks cockso do you
>>18164815His been a shill himself for quite sometime, and that video shows a pretty sad state of affairs.
Is any of this good
I just got pic related in the mail today and I like it a lot. Everyone says "luxury soap" but I don't really get that with it. Just a sweetish creamy floral. I get a bit of the same vibes as I do with reflection man. It's not totally the same, but I would use it in all the same scenarios that I'd use reflection man in.Pretty good
>>18163510This right here. It went from like a lot to totally love over the last few months. Younger girls don't like it quite as much, but I can't stop smelling myself when I wear it. It's like olfactory masturbation. It is just so good to me. It's probably the only one I wear strictly for myself no matter what the fuck anyone else thinks
>>18165197imagine thinking that someone is indian because… they don’t wear some overpriced estee lauder dreck that literally any thirdie turdie could buy at sephora.
I used to play video games with this guy named Champange. He’d always go on about this accent chemical or spray that adapted to your body to enhance colognes. Any anon know what he was talking about….miss that nigga like you wouldn’t believe
>>18165250ISO E super or ambroxan
Does Etruscan Water smell similar to Chypre Palatin? I'm trying to find CP but it's harder to find and I already own a sample of EW
>>18165280Never sniffed CP, but I highly doubt it smells like EW except in the most extrapolatory way. EW is pretty unique (if you ignore the existence of every other Bianchi, otherwise it’s just ‘another Bianchi’)
>>18165197It's INCOMPLETE PERFUMERYHow many times am I going to have to post this?
>>18165280They smell nothing alike, Chypre Palatin almost smells like bubblegum to me.
Fragrance with this feeling?
>>18165333the one that "she" used to wear
>>18165333First sprays of arab clones.
>>18165334>"she"so...a tranny?
>apply ambroxan based fragrance>immediately go noseblindhow do I prevent this from happening bros
>>18165335Not on my watch
>>18165132I'm tired of scents with shitty performance honestly. I want something that lasts
.
>>18165351easy: stop wearing ambroxan shit
>>18165366I get you, normally I wouldn't rec something with crappy performance but I haven't found anything with such a pleasant Yuzu scent. It really does smell amazing.>>18165339no... why does everything come back to trannies on this board
>>18165209Same, there’s literally zero soapiness in it for me. To my nose, it’s powdery first and floral second.
>>18165156This is correct. brokefags and contrarians will dispute it.
>>18165202I get instantly annoyed any time I see even the titles of his videos. Good for him for finding the tiktok fragtween audience to milk on, but holy shit is it obnoxious to see.
>>18165313Dissect one Tom Ford fragrance to tell how exactly it is incomplete
>>18165156What's so great about it?
>>18165422Tuscan Leather: Its literally just the backbone of knize ten (red fruit opening with a leather drydown) but lacking the animalics that give Knize Ten its structure and complexity.Need I say more or should I point out for the billionth time that Beau De Jour is just Zino slimmed down for the Tom Ford demographic?
Which frags really smell like summer?No synthetic bullshit
>>18165435perfumery has used synthetics since the 1880s, if you take issue with that then perhaps just stick to 4711.
>>18165438I obviously mean synthetic-smelling. Showergel garbage
>>18165435>Dusita Erawan>Nicolai Victoire>EP Fig Infusiona lot of frags smell like summer to me but it is ofc subjective
>>18165435Neroli.
>>18163497I have made this question like 2 years ago, but I forgot the answers, and I do have new stuff.I really love Terre d'Hermès and it's been a daily of mine. I am trying to find a new one. I've tried L'Aventure Al Haramain, which I've completely hated. yesterday I got La Nuit de L'Homme. It's not bad, it's nice, a bit too sweet for me though tho, not sure if I would like to use it everyday, but I'll be definitely use it sometimes.what would be a good alternative for this perfume in your opinion?how would you organize this list top down from best to worst?- Lalique Encre Noire Man- Dolce & Gabbana The One- Oud for Glory- Spicebomb- Virtu Vince Camutowould you add to the list in any way?this is a daily driver, so I would say that it should be on the same line as Td'H.
>>18165454really nasty stuff
The GOAT
>>18165461what would be your list for a Td'H alternatives?
>>18165156>>18165464Yes.
>>18165464failed tailor slop>>18165465alternatives in what way exactly? because none of the perfumes you listed even remotely resemble TdH
>>18165430Your post will go unanswered for it is truth.
>>18165468I don't know. I don't want something that smells the same, but with the same characteristics. I'm not really into fragrances. but I would say that the adjectives would be something "woody" and probably not so "sweet", something "masculine", that projects "confidence", "maturity", maybe even "sophistication".
>>18165482you’re better off browsing through fragrance advertisements and buying the one that has an ad that matches whatever adjective vomit you’ve just projected in my direction.
>>18165482Why do low tier men overuse quotation marks so often?
>>18165489how is 6 times often?
>>181654926 times in 46 words is a little more than once every 8 words which is pretty fucking often compared to the going rate in every other post in this thread
>>18165454None of those are going to have the same vibe as TdH. Try the Eau Givree franker which is excellent. Try Guerlain Vetiver EdT. Try L'Eau D'Issay Pour Homme Vetyver. Maybe even Hermes H24 EdP. If you want 'niche' slop then PdM Perseus is similar as well but fresher and juicier.
>>18165333You can spray any of them directly into your eyes to get this effect.
>>18165250Like first reply said. Molecule 01 sells bottles of the shit that are meant to enhance your skin scent with a woody base. I think it's wank; selling fragrance without designing a fragrance.
>>18165488jfc you are so dumb >>18165489kek what do you mean by low tier? what do you do for a living?
