>>18174731This post is very telling.
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>>18174700his post for example
>>18174736respectable
lets settle this once for all, what is /our frag/?

>>18174736you take things too personal
>>18174776Encre Noire
>>18174776Lalique Lion

>>18174693I need a fragrance that will make me lose my v-card. I will be 25 next week.
creed silver mountain water
>>18174818depends on your gender and your sexual preferences
Do any of you guys just stick with one frag for everything? Is the season thing a meme?I'm kinda new to it all, but I've been running with Tobacco Vanille and like having it be a kind of signature scent.
>>18174847Everything is a meme to get you to buy shit youDon't need
What fragrances do Japanese people wear
>>18174809you're already gay might as well go all the way
>>18174847there are some more versatile frags, and i will say that some frags are better suited for hot or cold weather. however, i can't see myself sticking to a single one. im always wearing something different
>>18174854They typically do not. The white man, however, wears Stetson.
>>18174847The season thing is due to temperature, some frags smell better when its cold or when its hot.
>>18174818No fragrance will do that, but don't stress out about it. Far from the most important thing in lifeI lost mine wearing Voyage d'Hermes Parfum a year or so ago
>>18174861>>18174872I might run one hot weather and one cold weather then. TV for cold, something complimentary but more airy and flowery for summer and spring.
>>18174693My main choice.Cheap, sweet, underrated, gets me loads compliments.But for summer I'm now wearing Aqua di Gio Profondo
wifeberg bought me 100ml platinum egoiste for my birthdaythink she's a keeper so i do

>>18174776This time last year I’d have said Bois Imperial but it seems like opinion here has turned on it since thenNow, I propose Bon Monsieur
Is it me or does creed silver mountain water smell feminine as fuck? I feel like I’ve wasted money here

>>18174910Thank you!I've never seen a Bentley fragrance but when I do I will remember to try it and see if its similar to gentleman
>>18174987they most definitely were a waste of money, you’re just too stupid to realize it

>>18174953>i’d dump my girlfriend in an instantthat is asuming you would ever have one which your indian ass certainly won't
>>18175025because creed are a scam artist company run by a failed tailor who turned to a life of fraud?>>18175031so much sobbing
>>18175033But they smell good so how is it a waste of money I still don’t understand
>>18175039because they smell like shit and you don’t know any better, and the rest of creed’s output is made up of stolen unfinished perfumes swindled out of the hands of struggling perfumers and flipped for 10x the price.

Decent or no?
>>18175097overpriced 4711
>>18175092Sure you could, Mogli
>>18175102Everything’s overpriced. Is it good or not
>>18175097eau de cologne that overstays its welcome and misses the point>>18175103hey mowglischizo, quit shitting up the thread with your spazzing, thanks
>>18175104if it were good, it wouldn’t be overpriced
>>18175097>>18175104It smells good, but it's a clone of a 10$ Eau de Cologne. Buy JeP Neroli Intense instead, or any of the other takes on "4711 cologne but stronger". I think Ferrari bright neroli used to be one, not sure if still available, pretty aure Acqua di Parma makes something like that too
“4711 but stronger” is just another way of saying “4711 but worse”
>>18175020Man, I wish I got a big bottle when it was still cheap. Maybe more of the new bottles will still filter down to discounters...Such a nice vetiver, really showcases all of the faces of that ingredient with the perfect supporting notes

Prada Black :)
>>18175165hiring Francis Kurkdjian for this is better marketing for this new Dior than anything else they could've done.Most people will be curious to try this out.
>>18175165Still waiting for Quentin Bisch's BDC Elixir. It's coming out later this year
>>18175195great for marketing, bad for anyone interested in quality perfumery
>>18175192Did you steal it
If they make an Elixir of this, I am going on a fap free streak of 5 months
>>18175236least porn addicted D&G wearer
>>18175236Considering the absolute state of D&G perfurmery after The One EDT and EDP, I wouldn’t expect anything good, ever. What a story, 2 releases that almost everyone would love if it weren’t for their shit durability, and then tons of pointless dreck where nobody even cares how long they last because they suck.Seriously, has anyone ever heard anything positive about stuff like DG The One Gold or Grey?
>>18174708>Buchephalus XIHow fucking many releases there are in that series?
Is this any good? I'm reading a lot of negative reviews about it but I don't understand what makes people hate it.
What's his next masterpiece?
This one heavily mogs Terre D'Hermes
>>18175261I'm guessing it will involve photo-realistic woods
>>18175261Le Male EAU FORTE
>>18175261what was his last one? i wasn’t even aware he had any masterpieces.
>tfw want to try all the expensive popular fragrances like Amouage, MFK, Creed, etc. etc.>live in shithole middle of nowhere with no perfume stores whatsoever>no sample community in my countryfug
>>18175281don’t worry, you’re really not missing out on anything
>test out some frags at the mall>like one, give myself a spray>enjoy it all day long>buy a tester bottle online for cheap from joma>smells different, performance is garbageDid I play myself buying a tester bottle over a retail boxed bottle?
>>18175080Me too it's my #1. Nothing else comes close
>>18175097>Neroil but added a creamy musky drydownAl Haramain Neroli Portofino is better
>>18175282nobody who extensively sampled amouage, mfk and creed would agree. but you do you with your ancient female cheapies.
>>18175261Isn’t he rich? Why not get a hair transplant? He would look pretty chad with hair instead of a baldlet basedcuck
>>18175289You need to wait m for it to macerate, it can take a few days to a few months. Scent may change and durability increase. And the frags you tested at the mall were testers too my man.
is aventus good for the summer?
>>18175317It's always good
>>18175025it isn't a waste anon, us sex havers enjoy creed silver mountain water, me includedpersonally i don't think silver mountain water smells feminine it smells like, fresh and crisp if you ask me
what do we think of the dreamer lads? its very floral and kind of sweet. on the fence about it.
scored a vintage metal flask of a*men from when it was still branded angel men. batch code indicates mid 2000's. its fucking heaven. not sure why more of you don't bow at the alter of mugler and his a*men creations. pre-loreal a*men can still be acquired at reasonable prices. all of the flankers however, very expensive unfortunately.
>>18175364More like Autist*Men
>>18175369
>>18175301i’ve extensively sampled all 3 and the only thing worth a shit among them is the old amouage stuff, and even then frankly it’s not to die for. MFK and creed are pure garbage.
>>18175364are loreal era angel and a*men any good or has loreal taken a fat shit on the legacy of yet another brand?
>>18175386they destroyed a*men, its basically dead like mugler himself. i dunno about angel
>>18175392good to know. fuck loreal.
>>18175259It’s mostly just the smell of smoke. Go roll around in a fire pit, that’s what you’ll smell like. >>18175306He’s been bald since long before he was famous, if he were to randomly gain a bunch of hair back it would be painfully obvious. For reference, he makes a kind of cameo appearance in part 2 of the BBC perfume documentary. He’s still in his… first, I think, year of training at the Givaudan fragrance school at the time of filming. >>18175337It’s bretty fugging gud.
>>18175306bald is based you scared little child
what to wear if i have itty bitty titties and a bob?
>>18174693I'm beginning to get more and more interested into fragrances that are polarizing rather than mass appealing. So I blind bought fragrances like Tuscan Leather, Arabians Tonka and Red Tobacco Intense and I really love how unique each of them smell, despite the fact that some people may find them disgusting. I'm also about to blind buy Kouros. What rare polarizing fragrances would you recommend and that also have beastly projection and good longevity? And don't recommend shit like Secretions Magnifiques, which is not polarizing, but instead it was made to terrorize the masses just like Dior Sauvage was made to please them.
>>18175455Dali pour homme
>>18175455Muscs Koublai Khan. Vintage Antaeus. T-rex. Bojnokopff Fort & Manle.
>>18175455Unironically Bois Imperial, although the people who don’t like (genuinely) usually dislike it more because they find it boring, not because they actively dislike it. (Give it a day and there will be plenty of posts disagreeing with that last statement as well.)Tyrannosaurus Rex by Zoologist is also super loud and probably love or hate. Tonnerre by BeauFort London is the same. Megamare is an aquatic that’s supposedly wildly loud and polarizing. I’m not sure if it would qualify as ‘polarizing’ but Ganymede EdP has some mixed opinions and is definitely a bit unconventional to standard frags. It isn’t quite loud, and I think modern formulations tend to lean more appealing, but Fahrenheit used to be very polarizing with some registering it as the smell of gasoline. If you get a sample of T-Rex from Zoologist, grab Bee as well. A lot of people rate it really high (#1 scent from the house on Parfumo) but it smells terribly synthetic sweet to me, and I like what most people on here describe as sweetslop. That covers most of them, I think.
>>18175455>literally buying actual garbage and passing it off as “polarizing fragrances”holy fuck this thread can’t get much worse can it
Of course it can. Just make another post.
>>18175448a dunce cap, or better yet, a noose
is it retarded to buy fragrances online?

What are some fragrances that just make you smell nice and don't smell like "fragrance"
>>18175455SM is a fairly straight forward aquatic with some good marketing. You are an imbecile, stop buying perfume, stop using perfume, stop posting in the perfume general.
>>18175261BDC Elixir ofc>>18175268nah, both of them are great, it's just H24 feels more relevant as it was only released a few years ago>>18175281>tfw want to try all the expensive popular fragrances like Amouage, MFK, Creed, etc. etc.i wasted money on their samples, learn from my mistake and just don't>>18175301lol, lmao, rofl even>>18175455check out Secretions Magnifiquesit's exactly what you're after>>18175576clean musks like Etro Musk or Nasomatto Silver Musk

Is Dolcissimo Sollievo in any way shape or form similar to aromatic/marine/incense profile of Dans le Bleu Qui Petille?
>>18175192I had Prada Carbon but dropped it and it smashed to pieces on the floor.. It smelled amazing but didn't last long. I got this as replacement and I'm super satisfied. Perfect summer fragrance imo
>>18175527I haven't found a better price than Duty frees, if you know someone there.I got this >>18174883 for 67 euros, meanwhile on Notino is arround 80 and in average retail store where I live is 90.
>>18175689How is its performance and longevity?
>>18175561I can only hope
>>18175527I just wasn't sure if they'd be good or if there's a higher chance they'll be off/expired if i were to buy online
>>18175268I prefer TdH, but like H24 too. I don't think they're in the same category though, they don't smell similar at all.Even though I don't love H24 as much, I applaud Hermes for making something actually unique in the current designer landscape. I hope it's selling well
>>18175744Prada Carbon? Like 3 hours on the skinProfondo easily 6 to 8 hours on the skin.
>>18175438>>18175259>"It's mostly just the smell of smoke"Yes but is it the good smell of smoke?
SOTD: some random attar I'm wearing
>>18175001Use pliers. You need to cover the cap with like a sock or something else you will scratch it and it’ll be obvious. Some bottle will twist off when you use pliers so you can just refill it with a funnel or something. Some of them (invictus for example) don’t. So for them you need syringes with the really thin needle and you can refill it slowly through the valve. Works best if you only refill 80/90% of the bottle and say you weren’t a fan or something so people don’t get suspicious as to why you’re selling it
>>18175832scumbag
>>18175832self rope now
>>18175259I fucking love IA, they match scent and concept so well. It's a genuinely autistic experience. If you like Wes Anderson, you'll probably love them.
>>18175259as for why they might hate it - match smoke is sulphurous
>>18175832Just look at the perfumelet indians getting mad at this chad ripping off people tasteless enough to buy masstige garbage.
>>18175261Some LVMH house will poach him soon and condemn him to come up with designer flankers every 3 months
Are there any realistic scents that actually literally smell like the concept they are supposed to and not through rose tinted glasses?

This is a really bad general when you think of it
Red pill me on Lalique Lion and White.
>>18176022Lalique Lion is a beautiful fragrance kind of in the vein of Bois du Portugal and New York Intense. it's a classed-up semi-oriental fougere, with rich sandalwood, vanilla, spices and powdery florals sitting below nice fresh lavender, citrus and green aromaticsso a really balanced and complex scent that you can wear year-round

Man I can't get enough of vetiver fragrances. From Encre Noire to Terre d'Hermes to Guerlain Vetiver to Fat Electrician.I love that little grass like you wouldn't believe...
So whats up with the Armani stuff?I see a ton of people with Acqua Di Gio and others in their collection, but nobody talks about them.
>>18176267>but nobody talks about themwhat's there to talk about? they've been releasing redundant flankers of the same two fragrances for like 25 years now
>>18176238don’t reply to the coomer mutt thanks
>>18176276Im new to frags, trying to decide if I should blind buy it. My rack store just got a bottle of Acqua Di Gio, which is the same price as Jomashop and cheaper than ebay/amazon.Its pretty much the only frag ive seen at the rack store which ive seen in peoples posted collections online. I currently only have cheap rackstore stuff.
>>18176289Can't you test it somewhere? You could also buy a bunch of samples of there are no stores with testers near youPersonally I think aquatics are boring and there is a lot of cooler stuff to buy at that price, but some people like themPersonally I think aquatics are boring, but some people like them.

>>18174776Nasomatto Black Afghano
>>18176289Never blind buy, always sample if possible, your wallet will thank you
just tested pour monsieur for the first time in a few years and it smells the same but way weaker than I remember
>>18176229well what are you looking for specifically anon? Every woman has her charms but also her downsides
>>18176359Absinthe Boreale
needs recommendations for frags for the summer evenings outsidechill vibe, not necessarily intimate or sexy, something you'd wear maybe at a garden party or at the terrace at a restaurant in italy in the evening during the sunset
>>18176267Armani’s fragrances are mostly pretty solid for designer fragrances, it’s just that they have a really confusing release strategy of billion flankers and revisions which is annoying, while those fragrances are still nothing but revisions of older formulas like Armani Code or Acqua di Gio that everyone is already familiar with. So, somehow they manage to simultaneously be kind of dull and predictable, yet still annoying and confusing - it’s like Coca-Cola suddenly stopped selling OG Coca-Cola and released 3 new slightly different Cola releases and you’d have to figure out what suits your taste while you really just want the OG back.
Just discovered one of my mechanics at work is a fragrance autist, motherfucker showed me his collection and now I feel shame. He has at least 16 bottles of Aventus with batches going all the way to the beginning. My mind is boggled, completely unexpected.I want to rob him, I feel I adequate
>>18176427>while you really just want the OG back.I would love for them to magically release the actual, original Code formula. It used to be an incredible fragrance back in the day, the olive note was fantastic and I've never smelled anything quite like it
>>18176434imagine feeling inadequate because some sucker owns 16 bottles of the same dogshit that all smells more or less the same.
>>18176405Depends on the vibe youre going for buuuut-Louis Vuiton Pacific Chill- Penhaligons Lothair- Tom Ford Soleil Blanc-Xerjoff Naxos 1861 Renaissance-Maison Crivelli Papyrus Moleculaire
>>18176440what a fucking travesty
I want a really fresh musky fougere.Drakkar Noir has too much dihydromyrcenol, Bon Monsieur has too much focus on spicy carnation, At the Barbers has too much of that shaving cream smell.What else should I try?
>>18176445an actual classical fougere like brut or fougere royale
>>18176445See the flowchart in OP, if youre ok with aldehydes, lavender and a wierd steam press, Sartorial gets the job done
>>18176321It's scent split so yeah, houston. I'm never getting those decants am I.
>>18176445Mousse Illuminee is my favorite.
>>18176462not a fougere
I’m considering blind buying Rien from all the stuff I’ve read it seems amazing. I can’t find any samples of it anywhere. What scenario would it be best for and if you could compare it to anything what would it be?
>>18176378care to extrapolate?
>>18176438>bottles of the same dogshit that all smells more or less the same.Listen shit skin, I'm sorry you're a subhuman who's smell of smell has been nuked by your cultures literal worship of cowshit. For the rest of us, Aventus is a fantastic frag however the smell has changed dramatically over the years to the point where modern batches are more like a close flanker of the original.
>>18176493LMFAO imagine sperging out about indians all day while prostrating yourself at the feet of a con artist angloid like the jeets did back in the colonial days.
Got this one in today. This is the good stuff. But only for real men.

>>18176278Isn't he gay?
>>18176568Gay people don't exist anon. It's all just trauma.
>>18176568no, just a porn addict>>18176572also this
>>18175791That’s extremely relative. Try it for yourself and find out, they sell discovery sets. >>18176445I wouldn’t call it a fougere, but have you tried The Dreamer? It’s pretty excellent, very fresh musky scent. And yes, Mousse Illuminee doesn’t fit your request… at all, but it’s still an amazing frag, so test it when you can. >>18176482ELDO literally lets you make 4 pack sample kits. You can choose Rien, Rien Intense Incense, and two other things that strike your fancy. As for scenarios to wear it, when you’re trying to clear a path in a crowded room. When bio warfare has been reinstated due to world collapse. Jokes aside, it’s a loud, linear, generic incense fragrance that doesn’t evolve much. Do with that what you will.
Boucheron Jaipur EDP, Singulier or Pour Homme EDP?
>>18174806>Lalique LionBeen loving this one the past couple months. I reach for it more often than the expensive stuff.
>>18176502Honey comb ready to fuck ahh fragrance. I like it.
What do you think of pic related? And speaking of which, what are some quintessential Caron fragrances to sample? I've tried CPUH, Yatagan, Le 3' and Yuzu thus far.
>>18176624Commie Jesus?I dont buy things with blasphemous names
Its all you need
>>18176624the important caron masculines are pour un homme, yatagan and le troisieme. the feminines used to be the best part of the house until they were unceremoniously murdered, so all we really have left are those 3.
>>18176445>Trumper Wild Fern Cologne>Fougère Royale>>18176482i blind bought Rien, no regretsit's just like >>18176600 described it (in a good way ofc)>>18176440>Tauer Sundowner>>18176440lol, lmao, rofl even>SOTD: L'Eau d'Issey Pour Hommestill a great summer frag
>>18176482>if you could compare it to anything what would it beIt sometimes gets compared to Kouros for the soapy vs animalic dynamic. It's smokier though with tons of incense.Wear it when you don't give a fuck and want to make a statement. It definitely wasn't meant as a utilitarian mass-pleasing scent.
>>18176603I prefer Jaipur. Boucheron Pour Homme is a more difficult fragrance to me, I like it but also perceive it as very dated.
Prada Luna Rossa Sport is my default cologne, nothing tops it or anywhere close. What should I try?
>>18176611>Sauvage Eau Forte>Allure Homme Sport Superleggerathe new releases from the two big names are not exactly looking noteworthy, are they?
>>18176634Desu, I’m sure it’s probably better than at least half the recs here. Fuck it, I’m blind buying
>>18176740Versace Dreamer is similar but better
>>18176493Aventus is very, very crude and not really the sort of thing we like to discuss in these threads if we are being honest.
Thinking of getting CDG which one should I get? I heard Floriential and Amazing Green are generic.
>>18176756I like 2 Man. 2011 is also kind of fun if smelling like glue sounds good to you
>>18176756Incense Kyoto
>>18176600They don’t let me pick rien. You stupid piece of shit.
>>18176789You are a retard who can't work a computer
All memes aside how's Santal 33? Looking for a fresh woody frag for the summer that isn't citrusy
New samples on the way:Parle Moi de Parfum - Papyrus Oud / 71because I like CdG2 ManUlrich Lang - 17 Nandan Roadalready finished a Sample, 10/10CdG Kyoto & Ouarzazatebecause they sound intriguingAnybody tried these?
What are some flowery feminine fragrances for men?Ideally I want anyone who smells me to wonder if I'm gay
>>18176800download either of the two turin books and go to the 5 star section and take your pick
>>18176800Basically any unisex with rose. Toy boy, Rose 31, Portrait of a Lady, even Mefisto
>>18176796>I turned my smell into pickle juice, funniest shit ever!
>>18176800Kouros
>it's a nice summer day>warm but with breeze>driving in your car with your kids and wife>wham! Club Tropicana banging in the radiohttps://youtu.be/WYX0sjP6Za8?si=FmrDu2nd2ZH9iFgB>the musky pineapple banging tooYep, smells like Aventus
I trust you faggots more than Fragrantica and Basenotes. Aventus. Is it work buying a modern formulation from a reliable discounter for $250?
Tell me about Dior Homme Cologne. Good or bad?
>>18176890>I trust you faggots more than Fragrantica and Basenoteshuge mistake
>>18176800Diptyque's floral fragrances like Do Son, Eau Rose, Eau des Sens, L'Ombre dans l'Eau, Oyédo, etc.
>>18176890> Is it work buying amongusno
>18176737For anyone who didn’t see this the last time, it’s a shop. The “Superleggera” text is pulled from a car style or something like that. >>18176789I literally just went and checked and it’s available for me, so either it’s you being a retard (likely) or they’re out of it in your area, possibly both.
>>18176800Toy Boy.
>>18176890If you're trying to impress someone, maybe. Otherwise no.
>>18176809>>18176895>>18176909disastrous recommendations
Is there anything that comes close to photorealistically capturing the whiff of burning wood in the distance? Is pic related any good?
>>18176902>For anyone who didn’t see this the last time, it’s a shop. The “Superleggera” text is pulled from a car style or something like that.So that's why the text looks kind of shit and not fittingI guess it would be unlikely for Chanel to release anything that isn't another alternate concentration for BdC
>>18176902>>18176946it's an obvious bad photoshop and even if it was good not only did it not have a source but it's name is also not something chanel would do and anyone that believed it is fucking retarded
>>18176933>muh heckin photorealisticyou people are pathetic beyond belief
>>18176800boss bottled nighttoy boyi think certain unisex frags that lean feminine will hit the spot too, like figuier edenyou can probably just spray frags for women on yourself. i started to experiment with that (some cheap bubblegum girlish dupes that i can return) and im pretty sure i can easily go away with it by saying its a washing detergent or fabric softener (if i ever get asked about this). not bold enough to do that when hanging out with my friends tho
>>18176933easy, carry a smoked sausage with you when going out
>>18176956>boss bottled night>a masculine woody violet is somehow femininedon't talk about fragrances if you haven't smelled them
>>18176933The smell of burning wood is, duh, smoke, and there’s at least one if not multiple examples in this thread alone. If you want the smell “in the distance” then that’s on you to spray accordingly. You can’t have some be faint or in the distance if you spray 15-20 times. You want it faint, spray once. >>18176946The biggest thing should be that it’s Italian, not French, but yes. >>18176947Leave disinformation to fester and eventually it will grow and propagate until you are drowning in idiots who never knew any better. Calling out false information is no different than calling out Creed, MFK, or Jerkoff as overpriced crap.
I understand smoky wood frags as non offensive and thereby uninteresting fragrances. Most have a common base of isobutyl quinolone + vetiveryl acetate + cedar.Ever heard that joke about Black Eyed Peas being rock for people that don't like rock, pop for people that don't like pop and rap for music that don't like rap? Well, smoky wood frags are the Black Eyed Peas of perfumery.They're done for lazy people that can't bother to match their frag with the fit, the season or the time of day. Dogshit concept, akin to normies.
>matching the frag with the fitisgyg(do this only occasionally)
>>18176890Just go with the millions of clones
I understand fouogeres frags as non offensive and thereby uninteresting fragrances. Most have a common base of tonka + oakmoss.Ever heard that joke about Black Eyed Peas being rock for people that don't like rock, pop for people that don't like pop and rap for music that don't like rap? Well, fougeres frags are the Black Eyed Peas of perfumery.They're done for lazy people that can't bother to match their frag with the fit, the season or the time of day. Dogshit concept, akin to normies.
I understand mancera/montale frags as non offensive and thereby uninteresting fragrances. Most have a common base of synthetic oud. Ever heard that joke about Black Eyed Peas being rock for people that don't like rock, pop for people that don't like pop and rap for music that don't like rap?

I bought this one a couple of months ago. What do you guys think?
I understand Bogart frags as offensive and thereby interesting fragrances. Most have an uncommon base of synthetic animalics. Ever heard that joke about Bela Bartok being classical for people that like classical and Hungarian folk music for people that like Hungarian folk music? Well, Bogart frags are the Bartok of perfumery.They're done for determined people that can bother to match their frag with the fit, the season or the time of day. Divine concept, akin to autists.
>>18176800Guerlain Samsara EDP. Mostly jasmine, iris, and violet mixed with sandalwood and vanilla. I’ve worn CK Eternity on occasion. Recently tried Musc Intense and think it’s fine and easily wearable for men. I’d like to try Nocturnes de Caron next.
>>18176796Anyone?
>>18177010I’ll also rec Apres L’ondee if you want to go all-in on a powdery iris and violet.
>>18176995i shit gay yellow goo?
>>18174693Are Shalimar and Le Lion really that similar?
huh? why would you think that?
>>18177074they’re pretty similar, yeah. shalimar is considerably more restrained though, whereas le lion can be smelled from another room

New Areej sold out in minutes, again. Dude is just printing money.
>>18176791I literally went to the store online and it gave me the choice between the best selling fragrances or the orange extraordinaire. None of them gave me a choice for RIEN. What kinda guy would wear this? is it really so crazy that people would hate me or love me wearing it?
>>18177300>What kinda guy would wear thissomeone who wants to stand out
rien isn't smoky at all desu
I like my frag.It makes me smell nice.
>>18176756One of the incenses, as >>18176763 suggested.Alot of its subjective, Kyoto and Avignon are the most popular but i have a soft spot for Zagorsk
>>18174778Gross
>>18177668Bad dupe of the original.

>>18174778Habit Rouge EdT/P are similar and better.
>>18175246>or Greycrisp peppery version of The One EdT. I like it very much. Very easy to wear it for office use and then switch down to The One EdP for evening.
