PSA for /frag/

Picrel is an indian schizo that has been shitting up the threads, by calling almost everything "embarassing" or "pathetic" and everyone that calls out his retardedness "mowglischizo" he also replies to the charts as "garbage" he also likes to spam report this image whenever it is uploaded.

Don't argue with him and don't respond to him, keep the thread clean

finally drove to the Guerlain boutique today
some first impressions:
>eau de guerlain
a bit heavier on the aromatics than I thought it'd be. the mint and caraway is kind of fun. does not seem too special on first try though, might need to test it again. not particularly similar to eau sauvage on first try
>habit rouge edt
pretty damn nice. really does come off as "shalimar for men". a more understated and weather-neutral take on that dna
>vetiver
very tobaccoey take on vetiver. uncompromising / niche by today's standards
>mitsouko
very nice. the peach is subtle, mostly a nice smooth floral chypre. green and earthy and flowery. I wish women still wore stuff like this and not sugarbombs
>Jicky
starts as rich fougere, gets real dirty in the drydown. kind of like the drydown of Zino, but turned up to 11.

EdG is definitely not similar to Eau Sauvage because Eau Sauvage is far more bitter. EdG is very similar to AdP Colonia, at least in the opening.

What is /frag/'s take on arab perfumes tho.

>>18156377
>>18156378
I've tried some Guerlain. I really love Habit Rouge EdT and will probably be getting a bottle if I manage to find one (it's kinda hard to find it where I live). Habit Rouge L'eau was very uninteresting to me, plus it performs very poorly. I've also tried Vetiver, which was ok but not really my thing, and L'eau boisée but don't remember how I've liked this one. L'homme ideal cologne was fine. When I tried Pour un Homme I didn't like it much but by the time my sample was running out it had really grown on me. Yatagan smells really good to me but I reckon it's not a people's pleaser, smelled kind of dirty to my nose, which I really like. Will add Jaipur to the list, are the EdT and the EdP much different? Unless directly said not to I'll be going for the EdT since where I live it's rather warm almost all year around.

>>18156387
I'm expecting at least one of those (maybe the Cerruti?) to be suitable to wear at the office. Probably most of anything can be worn anywhere if sprayed lightly though.

Question for you expert frag heads, what is your most complimented/sexiest frag by women? I need one for the summer and one for the fall. Range is from 18 to milf territory. Thanks a lot in advance.
>>
>>18155970
I have only been wearing 1) YSL la nuit d'homme (original formulation and more recently, bleu electrique), and 2) Carolina Herrera CH Men for the past decade.

To mix things up, I ordered several samples (see pic rel) from Scent Split to try and identify a new frag that like and can add to my inventory. What do you think of any of the four frags in pic rel?

>>18156736
Seriously, Encre Noire is so nice. I don't get all the histrionics with people claiming it's so "dark and gothic" and smells like "dracula's coffin" and all that crap. It's a nice forest smell with some vetiver.
>>
>>18156677
it’s from 1990 dude. it’s objectively not from the 80s. and even if it were a fougere, aromatic fougeres are categorically not barbershop fougeres.

Im new to cologne, so I walked into Sephora.
The saleslady (young black gal) wasnt very nice.
She aluded to me being fat and ugly. She said "If you routinely wear clothes like that, and being the size you are, I think Polo Red or Polo Blue would be fine"
I get it, im a bit overweight but I thought my clothes were fine.
I paid $150 for Polo Blue just to find its 1/10th of the price online.

I dont know what I expected but it wasnt a great experience. There was so much shit sprayed in there I couldnt tell one from the other. I dont know how I am supposed to figure out what I even like.

I guess ill just use the Polo for now

Not sure if it’s a typo is confused, but Wanted doesn’t have a parfum version (yet), but it does have a EdP.

The Most Wanted has a parfum version and it’s great. Whatever sample you intended there, make sure it’s “The Most Wanted Parfum”.

I'm comparing vintage Kouros with the modern formulation and find the difference is prominent. The opening of vintage has a civet note that is unmistakable and can remind one of piss, you can't miss it. Its spirit barely clings on in the modern formulation, but it really gets muddled in with the musk, lavender, and slight powderiness. I don't think modern smells challenging and find it quite easy to wear, especially if you're already familiar with stuff like Kiehls Original or Jovan Musk.
But vintage Kouros picks up if you give it time to settle on your skin, just a few minutes. The opening slaps you across the face but weakens, and you're left with something that just smells really vibrant with some slight sweet in the back. It's almost like it's shining, whereas modern is fuzzy and more powdery in the dry down. And the funny thing is Kouros in his current form is still better than many other fragrances on the market, and not that bad compared to vintage.
>>
>>18157604
>>
>>18157662
i have a new kouros and it smells EXTREMELY pissy on the opening. it could be years old I guess. It's newly purchased though.
>>
>>18157662
depending on how old your bottle of kouros is, it may be less animalic than the original charles of the ritz version thanks to reforms motivated by pierre bourdon himself. according to pierre, he reached his ideal kouros formulation sometime in the early 00s, everything since has been either a cost cutting measure or an attempt to sate the modern obsession with cleanliness.

If you can tolerate a fragrance that only lasts like an hour and a half or two hours, I absolutely love H24 Herbes Vives. It is absolutely fantastic bright, green, fresh fragrance. It is like walking through a garden. Think herbs and fruits not flowers. But like I said that bright fresh greenness only lasts for a couple hours at most for me. But it so refreshing to wear and smell. I also like the other H24s. While I never smelled the EdP i hear most people who like the H24 line prefer the EdP over the EdT. But I did like like EdT as well, but it didn't have that same amazing upfront greenness. But any one from the H24 line would be well suited for Hot weather.

It appears it likely came in the double striped boxes, definitely before the year 2000. Splash bottles (and I'm assuming splash minis) reportedly stopped being produced around 2003 based off my cursory readings

double striped box could realistically be anything from an original charles of the ritz (not out of the question considering the yellowing on the plastic) to sanofi, which is a pretty huge range. i don’t imagine the bottle of the mini says anything, does it?

yeah I kind of feel bad for those guys. I'm not saying one should be totally oblivious to what other people like in a fragrance, but that can vary from person to person so much it only makes sense if you are doing it for a particular person who you know actually likes it, like an already existing girlfriend. But even then you should still only buy stuff that you personally really like and then just look for positive synergistic effects where possible.

I was at a perfume store and randomly picked Fahrenheit EDP and sprayed it on me quickly and was about to walk away, when a slightly chubby stoner chick beside me went ’’Woah, what fragrance did you just spray, it’s nice.’’ So i directed her to it.
She sprayed it all over her in a misting way, as an incel i had never seen a girl put a perfume on her before.

In my autist mind i think i should’ve recommended her the EDT version while surprising her about the main meme note that is gasoline.

Maybe she would’ve been charmed by that silly knowledge.

Maybe she would’ve given me a handjob at the H&M’s dressing stall.

Sampling Kokorico and it's pretty nice. Chocolatey patchouli with woods in the back. People were saying that Guerlain L'Instant (edt, in my case) is better, so I am comparing the two. Maybe they're right, but they're not entirely the same. Kokorico is more forward with its chocolate note and as it dries the woods come through more than L'instant. LIDG has the citrus and the spices up top to balance it out with the chocolate in the back. Kokorico is definitely more gourmand than LIDG, which isn't gourmand at all. LIDG smells smoother than Kokorico and is a more timeless, versatile scent. Kokorico is more youthful and playful. I'd say I prefer LIDG.

If you wanted to talk to her, instead of explaining something you could have asked her what it was she liked about the perfume. This would give her the option to continue talking to you, which she might have wanted given that she approached you, though it's hard to say. It also steers the conversation into something she likes, perhaps she likes it because it fits in with a certain style or something. Whereas you can't know if she'd really be interested in your knowledge of perfume notes.

I suppose that isn't entirely unreasonable but I think the risk is dramatically overblown. So few people wear fragrances to begin with and even the most popular fragrances still only make up a small minority of the total share of market by volume. By intentionally choosing a less popular fragrance you might be reducing a .8% chance you smell like their Ex to a .4% chance you smell like there Ex. Also even if you smell like their Ex there is a good chance it doesn't even matter. People have types, so there are likely other aspects of you that are similar to their Ex but that usually doesn't matter either. Almost no one breaks up with their boyfriend/girlfriend because of the fragrance they wear.

>and burberry london
I have Burberry London and really like it. However, I feel that once the temp gets to the mid 70s (so maybe 23 or 23 C) it isn't the best fragrance for that. I don't think Burberry London is a very strong or heavy fragrance but I do avoid it in warmer weather. If anon is in Southern Europe, he may have a smaller time frame each year to wear that fragrance depending on where exactly he lives.

I fee like Terre D'Hermes is a good choice though. Also look at H24 either the EdT or EdP. While I love the Herbes Vives edition I feel like the others are better suited to his style.
>>
>>18158912
>I literally can't smell it 10 minutes after I spray it on my skin with 10 sprays
that's a clear case you're going anosmic to it
ISO E heavy fragrances are infamous for this. a minority of people can't smell the material at all, and many get "used" to it very quickly and it plays tricks on their nose, they go noseblind to it
spray it further away from your nose and in smaller doses, it should help if it is a case of going noseblind

I enjoy rose, I guess the leather note comes from castoreum.
Maybe the smell will develop more with time and maceration.

Yea, apparently this one is more on the pissy side, which is also interesting to me

Would you recommend Hacivat over ADG Profondo?

Different anon here, they have nothing in common. Profondo is a very light and slightly sweet marine scent, while Hacivat is super strong with grapefruit/pineapple and dries down to rather musty oakmoss.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was torn between for the two for the summer but I think I'll definitely be going with Profondo now. Blind buying a strong frag might be a mistake.

Atleast go with Aventus, Hacivat is more daring take of that DNA.

Blind buying is always a mistake, but Hacivat would be extremely bad one for it. The opening isn’t that divisive even though it is really, really strong, but when it dries down to that musty, almost cellar-like mossiness that goes far beyond typical light oakmoss you see in perfumes, some noses just aren’t going to agree with it. Not even saying this as some ”you need to be a hobbyist to understand the scent thing”, more like some people are just naturally going to hate that kind of vibe in such a strong and direct form.

So I purchased a sample of JPG Fragile thinking it was a mini splash, but I'm afraid I just got the cap. I opened it (I had to pry it open) and the inside smelled like water. I'm retarded.

I've worn this cologne DOZENS of times and each time, I get women complimenting me. Dior Sauvage, Creed Aventus, Shalimar Extrait? You can't beat me with that!

Thoughts on A* Man? Anyone own it? The Mugler line is all but gone, but I'm thinking of getting this one just to get an idea of what the scent is supposed to be.
