Bros, what frag smells like classic black and milds? Something that really captures the secondhand aroma of someone smoking it nearby not the smell of you smoking it directly. My older brother smoked these when I was a kid and I always liked that dark sweetness they would put off.

Question for the thread:When people talk about Diptyque fragrances on here (Tam Dao, Philosykos, etc.) do you guys refer to the EdT versions or the EdP versions?E.g. when people talk about Lalique Lion, apparently everyone is talking about the EdP because it’s actually the same scent just with better performance.

>>18177912I recently got the Essential Parfums discovery set. Might post a review soon, I am curious to see how my thoughts align with /fa . What are some other nice discovery sets (which are relatively cheap)? Was thinking of Tauer.On a different note, I have been looking around for a cold/wet weather fragrance and I am captivated by the descriptions of Caron Yatagan. I feel inclined to blind buy it, which might be a stupid idea. Thoughts?Final question: anybody have experience with L'orchestre Parfum fragrances? Stumbled across them on fragrantica, thought they had some interesting stuff going off the notes and reviews.
>>18178340Yatagan is nice, and on the affordable side, but I wouldn't blind buy.
they're getting bigger
>>18178340>I feel inclined to blind buy it, which might be a stupid idea.only if you can spare the money and space and embarassment of buying something you don't like, otherwise no
>"light, airy, dry, hmmmm, undoubtedly French"
Is watching "weekly rotation" videos a sign that you've hit rock bottom?
>>18178340Reposting something I wrote up 5-6 threads back with slight modifications to make it more general. Discovery 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. As far as sample sets go, you’ll find most of them (most houses in general) are 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, 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 has a really good variety of frags, but 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: Ignore the idiotic war waged between designer and niche tards. Both have their merits, both have a place, to forsake one is to deprive yourself.

Alright /frag/cels, which one do I go with
>>18179522Always Montale when they are an option
>>18179526I thought /frag/ hated montaleHave you tried either of these ones? Got any opinions of them?
>>18179522depends on what you want, they are not really comparable imo. full incense is if you want straight up church incense but with screechy montale dna, while rien is much more complex and smells like a vintage leather chypre at times, way more interesting but it's much more than incense so probably not the best choice if you're looking for pure incense fragrance.
>>18179596>full incense is if you want straight up church incenseIs it really? Because that's more or less what I want, and that's exactly what I've heard for some other frags, none of which has ever managed to come even close to deliver that >while rien is much more complex and smells like a vintage leather chypre at timesIs it any similar to black incense malaki?
>>18179624Smell Beaufort's Terror and Magnificence, and House of Matriarch's Devotion. Both are photorealistic incense frags.
>>18179649>House of Matriarch's DevotionThanks I'll look into that one.I have T&M and I would really like to love that one because, yeah, that's the most realistic incense I've smelled so far but there's this wetness to it that very quickly devolves into some semi-incensey, semi-spa aromatheraphy kinda thing and I don't really dig that. Moreover, unlike the rest of the house's frags, this one feels so flat and one-dimensional it's almost surreal. It also doesn't help that the performance is absolute dogshit. I'm genuinely disappointed with it because if it did have some more of that Beaufort special gene, with that harsher and more pronounced smokiness, it probably would've been the single greatest frag out there but alas..
>>18179658Hate to hear about your experience with T&M, mine borders on too strong, so I wonder if it's a batch issue (mines from 2023 so not older at all). HoM has some good stuff, but they're pricy. Usually there's a coupon promotion they run, so wait till a holiday or something. Devotion has a slightly green botanical top note before the incense kicks in, so be a little patient with it.

>>18180478I’m seriously starting to believe that most people aren’t able to distinguish sandalwood from saffron with their noses, they just check out note lists or videos before actually trying fragrances themselves and then smell exactly what others said. Basically, so vulnerable to suggestion that you can call an amber fragrance aquatic to them and they believe it because the name sounds like it, it comes in a blue bottle, and the manufacturer blurts out some marketing buzzwords about yachts.I had to do a double take and check out whether I had sprayed it from the right bottle after sniffing it for the first time, because it sure as fuck didn’t resemble what people usually say about it. It’s so close to Ambre Nuit, yet nobody has ever called Ambre Nuit an aquatic, because it fucking isn’t one, as neither is 40 Knots.
is anything by english laundry any good or is it pajeet tier?
>>18180367First let it be said that fragrance “age appropriateness” is all marketing and preconceived notions, just like sex, day/night, and weather/season. That being recognized and if you buy into it, there’s really only two buckets of age groups, maybe three if you wanna get really finicky. Young and Mature, (with “old man” being a kind of third). It’s all very relative to the person and situation but most people STOP being fragrance “young” around 25-29 because generally speaking you’re an adult by that point and working a steady professional job. You’re late 20’s and in a (very) serious professional environment, you’re mature man, it don’t matter anymore. Here’s the rub though, even with Bianchi’s being mature fragrances, they’re all WAY too loud for an office or any kind of indoor setting. Most of them, including EW, are loud like Sauvage Elixir or Bois Imperial. Get some Terre d’Hermes, good intro mature fragrance. Eau Givree if you want it a touch lighter.
is tommy bahama st barts any good? they have 4 bottles at marshalls. I bought st kitts a couple of months ago and I like that.
>why yes, i want to smell like fresh green pine
>>18180496I honestly find it funny when people around their 30s worry about being ”too mature”, especially funny if it is some career that has inherently strict and serious atmosphere. You’re not young anymore at that point, you’re supposed to be able to project some kind ot professional aura at that point if your job demands it, and it only takes couple of years before hair starts thinning and you get mysterious joint pains with high likelihood.I’m not saying that people that age are old, but neither they’re exactly young by any sensible meter either. Somehow, it feels like modern culture makes people afraid to accept that they’re aging and they try to cling on to their 18-22y identity in a way that seems even desperate at times.

>*Sigh*Well, I finally finished testing about 9 different Guerlain frags (roughly half/half old-ish and new) and unfortunately I’m just not a fan. Heathen, I know, but the powdery Guerlinade just kills so many of their frags for me. Most of the old classics are too powdery in the dry down, and most of the more modern releases (Wasser) are just kinda blah. Not trash, but they just don’t wow me. Habit Rouge is too powdery in the dry down (otherwise fantastic), Vetiver just smells like vetiveryl acetate in the dry down (Encre Noire), even the Spiritueuse Double Vanille is just *super* boring, weak vanilla - I’d take Eau de Baux over it in a heartbeat. L’Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EdP was decent but felt too redundant in the dry down to ACDD to me (which I already own). Heritage EdP was nice, but again, powdery leather dry down. My fave was probably L’Homme Idéal Intense because the first ~2H were actually pretty complex and enjoyable, but the base of florals and vanilla don’t push it enough to be a purchase. I’m glad I tried a decent chunk of them but I’m a lot more indifferent to them now with the whole ‘luxury’ rebranding and false scarcity.

After trying 200+ fragrances, it honestly doesn't get better than this. Truly a masterpiece. The best Chanel fragrance ever produced
I want to boycott Dior and Chanel. What should I do?
>>18180796Your girlfriend should not give her opinion on things.
>>18180734>They average out to about ~$16 each, but the real thing holding me back is it’s 15 FULL BOTTLES. I don’t need that much shit, let alone even have room for it…maybe fragrance isn't a hobby for you then?
>>18180828>After trying 200+ fragrancesembarrassing
Top 3 from here?
>>18180896Ombre leather, imagination, DHS
>>18180508>Somehow, it feels like modern culture makes people afraid to accept that they’re aging and they try to cling on to their 18-22y identity in a way that seems even desperate at times.There is a cult of youth nowadays. As far as mass culture is concerned when you reach 40 you might as well not exist anymore.So that's how you get middle aged guys being all "hi fellow kids", wearing Invictus and asking if TdH won't be "too mature" for them

>>18180859you just know that if someone brags about trying a three-digit number of fragrances, they’re a retardthere are maybe couple of dozen fragrances worth trying, all the rest are slop for shit eating retards
I like it.
>>18180711Why should he share his knowledge with someone not worthy of it? Show some deference.
Why is this shit so good? I bought it cause I needed a cheap daily but man it should not be this good.
>>18181296because you have no standards

Is it still worth buying French Lover nowadays or it the performance really that bad?
>>18180510Oooh what's Victoire like? Felt pretty decently priced for Nicolai
>>18181319Ok; what are some great cheap perfumes?
>>18181319That perfume is practically just a mix of cool water and green irish tweed. Hard to think of that as bad. Mediocre maybe.
>>18180906Seconding Baux. It’s cheap as fuck, and while it won’t have the drying fruits and cloves of TV, it makes for a much more wearable smoky vanilla fragrance. Tobacco Vanille IMO is one of those fragrances that feel great when you smell it as a short test, but it’s really hard to actually wear because it is so overpowering and thick, but Baux could easily work as a daily fragrance for colder seasons.
>>18181550I recently bought the Essential Parfums discovery set, which contains a sample of Divine Vanille. I really like the combo of incense and vanille (although before I looked at the notes, I thought it was tobacco instead of incense). Overall however, I sometimes felt the vanille was a tad too dominant, making it a bit of a one-dimensional scent. Would Baux be a good alternative for me? Or something like Zadig&Voltaire this is him?
>>18181423Worth it if you like it and don't mind spending over $200 for 50ml of fragrance.

Thoughts on Serge Lutens Bapteme Du Feu for a 40+ overweight office drone?
>>18181608Serge Lutens is trash, I wouldn't be caught wearing that outdated sh*t even if somebody paid me to do so.I enjoy the premium niche market, product that is very expensive. I understand /frag/ isn't huge on fragrances that are over $500 retail, but to me, those scents absolutely obliterate anything that can be had for $300, $200, much less sub $150. The lower you go in $, the smaller the probability that the scent lives up to market leaders.
>>18181595Where do you buy your Caron fragrances? The prices listed on their website aren't exactly what I would call cheap.
>>18181476random shit under $100 that i have in my perfume cabinet: cool water, cabochard, 4711, brut, azzaro pour homme, drakkar noir, zino, paco rabanne pour homme, grey flannel, bijan men, thé brun. i’m sure there’s plenty more but i’m too lazy to find stuff that i don’t see right in front of me. >>18181505then literally just buy cool water?
>>18181611one of the most laughable posts ever made in /frag/
>>18181631Longevity is ass on cool water compared to that one
>>18181663considering cool water lasts me a whole work day, i wouldn’t want anything that lasts any longer. there is such a thing as overstaying your welcome in perfume.

what smells like the ocean in a realistic way? like fishy or briny salty sea breeze when you visit the beach and you smell the water for the first time since last summer. I don't care if it's generally accepted that it smells bad like low tide.

whats a popular budget frag in korea? im asian and never tried perfume.
>>18181759how can you wear something called male lover and not feel like a massive fucking faggot goddamn
>>18180738Kek!
>>18181761i am gonna racistly assume whatever the k pop bands are wearing is whats popular over there and i have no idea what they would be wearing
>>18181762I mean, it is fairly possible anon is gay. Fragrance is inherently unmasculine and preening, so it wouldn't be very farfetched. Even browsing these threads we constantly have troons and homos trying to convince others that gender in perfum is a "social construct" like a fucking Marxist. I'd wager he might be straight though since none of his perfumes are drag.
>>18181787you are insanely closeted
any recommendations for perfume that smells like dick and balls after a hot summer day? this is serious i am serious
>>18181788seething. care to do some more mental gymnatistics for us all?

>>18181795it may not be pride month anymore, but it’s not too late for you to come out.
>>18181803it just seems bizarre to project so heavily towards homosexuality when the only "questionable " statement I made was that dudes shouldn't wear women's perfume.
>>18181812ohh you don't like giant centipedes? well you are obviously just a deeply closeted freak who likes centipedes in his ass. hmm yes a delightful twist of logic you see.
>>18181834I'll let you have the last word on this one, since it seems so important to you. I hope you find more joy in describing gay sex than I do in smelling your shitty perfume.

fyi black afgano is no good for working a labor job in the heat. turns to a very bad smell.
>>18181472good zesty yuzu scent with green undertones. nothing out of this world but well done. the yuzu is really amped up and fruity>>18181787>Fragrance is inherently unmasculine and preeningthe prophet pbuh wore fragrance oil so it's perfectly normal for men>>18181855incredible insight
>>18181595good reccs
what's a fragrance you appreciate more and more with time?for me, it's TdH. used to think it was just okay, but now that I'm through most of the bottle I'm just consistently impressed by the "dirty orange" effect and the transparent airiness.It's really distinct, gotta be the best of the 2000s bestsellers
>>18181936gotta say the bottle and marketing are top notch too, really fitting for the scent
>be brown man>have a date with a white german girl>see other couple of fellow brown man but with his brown GF>fellow brown bro wink with his eye>brown GF looks angryWhy are brown girls like this?>>18181936Definitely Aventus, hated it at first, love it now.
>>18181611What do you like then?
>>18181759I wouldn't wear anything on that list, tbqh.
>>18181936Most Guerlains and Carons.
I want to smell like an evil wizard, what should I wear?
>>18182116Encre Noire
Worth the hype imo
Every man should own ONE (1) feminine leaning fragrance
>>18181855I stick to blues at work. Even though I don't really like them they're good at enduring the heat. When I get home I shower and apply something more interesting.
>>18181812only a faggot could be so insecure as to dismiss his own hobby as “unmasculine” while overcompensating by coping with “but other people are actually gayer than me so it’s ok!”
>>18182119extraordinarily embarrassing
/frag/ sissies are gonna piss their panties when the will finally smell the scent of the forbidden fragrance...
>>18182313>/frag/ sissies are gonna piss their panties when the will finally smell the scent of the forbidden fragrance...no if anything i will just accuse you of being indian, standard procedure
18yo art student, what's a nice cheapie ($50-$100 max) for fall/winter? I really liked CDG2 but didn't enjoy Encre Noire, so I think I gravitate towards that kind of unique fresh frags
>>18182313read the languages on the package... or indians use car air refresheners as a cologne? I would also be surprised if wunder baum is even being sold in India.
>>18182318Encre Noire
>>18180595Thanks, will look into this one too>>18179770Yeah, looking at it, I doubt I'll manage to get my hands on something HoM without breaking the bank, but I'll be on the lookout, that used to be the case with Beaufort for a while too. >>18180008>>18179526>>18179596Either way, I got em both as I could get them for half the price each and I figured why the hell not. Will update with my experience with them
>>18182116An English barbershop cologne, that smells classic and elegant but also natural. Geo. F. Trumper Sandalwood cologne, for example.

>>18182530Interlude ManAnything by Filippo SorcinelliIf necromancer Sombre by Strangers Parfumerie or Nekro Dellamorte.
>>18182156>Nekro DellamorteWhat do you recommend?
>>18182561An evil wizard like Saruman or Douku would use Sandalwood, Eucris is the cologne of his master, Sauron and Palpatine, respectively. Eucris is the highest level of evil.
anyone ever tried this?Cant find anywhere that has a sample or decant atm
>>18182630>anyone ever tried this?most certainly
>>18182642but have (You) and if so how was it?
>>18182643not yet but I trust certain reviews and that duchafour did a good job
>>18182351For real though any suggestions?
>>18182630i have a sample of the current version from luckyscent. it’s great. i’ll probably get a full bottle of it one of these days, but i have higher priorities atm.
>>18182170fragrance isn't a hobby. It is an accessory or an art form in very specific cases. and no, smelling something isn't a hobby, just like attending concerts isn't hobby.
>>18182691oh, so the entertainment/art you enjoy is unmasculine, but at least you’re not gay like those other guys! lmao
>>18182692you seem really upset by that off hand quote.
got samples of Jazz Club and by the Fireplace and I really like how they smell like something specific and not really "Fragrancy"it seems those two are the most talked about, are any of the others worth getting?
>>18182695i think it’s very funny
>>18182696ive seen whispers in the library mentioned but havent tried i myselfotherwise its usually those 2 getting talked about as you said
>>18182696what a fucking goy
>>18182696I've been interested in Atumn Vibes, but that's mostly marketing. I had moved to Montreal in Spring 2018 so an Autumn 2018, pre COVID were some great memories. The scent itself is fine, maybe I'll get it when I finish my current Green Office frag
>>18182710wait until you find out that the entire margiela perfume line is just marketing hot air
>>18182630i want to try these classic fragrances from the golden age of "niche" perfumery but I'm always put off by all the comments about how Frederic Malle, Serge Lutens, Artisan, etc, are all a faint shadow of their former selves. Did it really get that bad or is it all fear mongering by snobs and vintage resellers?
>>18182794they’re talking about the new output. the classics are still in good shape, it’s not like serge lutens got bought out by fucking loreal or anything
>>18182655I'd like too help you, but I don't know enough, but here is a suggestion:Dior Fahrenheit
>>18182805I see a lot of talk about how all the classics are reformulated and have been watered down and blah blah but I think it's genuine hysteria at this point
>it' actually realhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RzFha70Ppg
