I haven't bought any perfumes since I was 15-16. so I'm interested in getting one again. I had picrel which is no longer sold outside of some weird websites, which I thought smelled nice-OK. it's also one of my few reference points to go off of.
I hope someone here who know a wide variety of perfumes could recommend or point me to perfumes that would be similar to picrel you think I might like, but not necessarily identical. Maybe something that shares most of the base notes and includes some of the other ones, idk.

I haven't been up to speed with frags for some time now. Up until about 1 month, EVERY SINGLE person in ny city would smell like sausage or any other burnt sugar clone, however, for the past couple of weeks I have noticed several times some kind of peppery/dry makeup note floating around.

In the bathroom scene you can see a bottle of Lagerfeld, but I've never smelled that one so I can't put my finger on it. Maybe Drakkar Noir, Sung Homme (though it was released much later) or Quorum, something on that vein.
>>
>>18186795
Come on now, I've seen some people compare it with kouros precisely because of its animalic character, though I haven't seen people call it specifically fecal
>>18186842
I am not sure how I feel about it to be honest, not getting anything rose-y or floral in there, to my nose there's something industrial about it, with a strange nutty sweetness and, as mentioned, that poopy thing. I find it interesting but also somewhat repugnant.
>>
>>18186865
drakkar noir and azzaro pour homme definitely belong, but not eau sauvage. brut might be relevant if we were closer to the anglosphere, but otherwise nah.
>>
>>18186724
Bitches love Sauvage, the dream girl love aromatic aquatics like Cool Water or Kenzo Pour Homme.

>>
>>18186866
>some people compare it with kouros precisely because of its animalic character
They are retards, Rien Intense Incense is not nearly as animalic as Kouros and smells closer to Antaeus than Kouros because it smells like a leather chypre. The poopy thing you smell is probably the leather mixed with the incense, but to me the incense is too overpowering for it to get animalic.
>>
>>18186867
Interesting to note that Lagerfeld was released just a couple years prior to the film, so it's safe to assume that if the movie took place nowadays he'd wear some shit like Aventus or One Million. I think last thread there was a guy saying that the point of reference to classify a frag as old school is a matter of when you are in time.
>>
>>18186848
Those are way too classy, Scarface is sleaze.
>>
>>18186909
if scarface took place today, the characters would dress differently, talk differently, act differently, and have different motivations. we associate perfumes with the era and culture they came out in, but no one is ever going to confuse the era that sauvage came out in with the eras that drakkar noir or eau sauvage came out in, even in another 100 years. they all landmark different points in perfume culture and fashion culture.
>>
>>18186903
According to /fa/ that's what women want and the best way to dress. Just work out and wear a t-shirt and jeans bro!

Looking to simplify, I don’t really want to do this as a hobby, at this point.
What thoughts do you guys have for a basic 2-3 bottle collection, all I really want to do is smell good to tomboy gym chicks, and something I can wear at work.
Currently have around 10 bottles, I like retro scents, but idk if those are really the move these days.
The milfs and old ladies at work love it when I wear Drakkar or Jovan Musk, but that’s probably not gonna play quite as well with the sporty zoomettes.
Granted, one of the hottest gym girls in the game wears Tom Ford Oud Wood as a signature scent, so maybe smelling hardcore macho is the play.
Can post my overall collection list, but I don’t want to clog up the thread with a lot of bullshit

While for the most part I agree with you, on the other hand there are situations in which some things don’t change much with time, I guess. I think for the most part black tie events have remained more or less the same since Scarface’s time. I guess most people here would agree that a mor mature scent would fit best this kind of situation, but also that’s probably some frag autistic take on the matter, because most people attending to such situations would probably just wear whatever Aventus is currently popular.

black tie today is in fucking shambles, have you been to an opera house or a ballet in recent memory? between men no longer wearing opera pumps or patent oxfords or even shined captoe oxfords, or men no longer wearing, cummerbunds, swapping out bowties for ugly black neckties, or even not having jackets with faced lapels, black tie has never been in a worse state. i’ve seen people wear birkenstocks with dinner suits for fuck’s sake.
>that’s probably some frag autistic take on the matter
not really. it’s completely reasonable to believe that someone dressed like the 70s is going to smell like the 70s too.

It was replaced with ‘The Most Wanted’ line. Same reason why ‘Wanted Tonic’ didn’t last, they already had the Azzaro Chrome line.

The Most Wanted Parfum is the best anyway.

>>18186664
I tried it for the first time a month or two ago and it’s pretty fantastic. Planning on getting a bunch more of old cheapies to try eventually. Zino was good too, cleaner and sweeter by comparison, but I preferred Quorum.

Damn, >>18187040 was right, Zino smells awesome. Can’t speak for the performance yet but I’m loving this stuff, though I didn’t find it similar to Quorum at all.
>>
>>18187289
Sorry, yes, I meant more in the sense of they’re both “old man fragrances” that are pretty cheap to pick up and stank good of the 80’s.

Glad you’re enjoying it though.
>>
>>18187073
Says unisex but is it really? I get the impression a lot of coffee fragrances that aren't masculine leather and smoke are floral and sweet for women.
>>
Why are fragrances becoming so damn expensive even at discounters? Yes, I get it, inflation and all, but still.
>>
>>18187296
Interestingly enough, Zino doesn’t smell dated as Quorum does. Probably it wasn’t very influential in my country, unlike the really woody classics which probably inspired many local fragrance houses to make frags in that same vein.

why though? i smelled it once in a department store, not really a date scent or something but a lot of other popular fragrances like bdc or aventus smell more asexual imo
and it's not like most women are gonna find niche animalic oud fragrances or whatever /fa/ wears sexy
so if this isn't which fragrances are in your opinion?
genuinely asking

I have a bottle of this. Maybe it's just me, but I can barely smell it.

Whats the verdict on these?
>>

>>
>>18187546
because the allure line sucks ass. as do bdc and amogus, but you didn’t mention those to begin with.
quite frankly, i’m in no position to say what perfumes smell sexy, because my gf says literally everything i wear smells good, from grey flannel to l’envol to mitsouko. all i can say is that you’re probably better off buying a (good) perfume that matches your dress and personality and the bitches will follow.

So how much should a novice expect to spend trying to figure out what scents to wear? This seems like it can get very expensive very quickly.
>>
>>18187738
Not necessarily *that* much if you start smart and spend time with decants before buying any big bottles. It’s easy to get too excited about new scents before knowing what you feally like, and if you buy a bottle based on one testing, you might get bored of it later even if you initially liked it.

But if you first use up a 2 - 5 ml decant and still like it, then you can be pretty sure that it’s not a failbuy.

>>
>>18187759
Is that you, you racist mongrel? How'd your leash reach this far anyhow?
>>
>>18187738
depends, spend time on things like fragrantica and explore what is out there, understand what frags and scents (You) like, do not go out and buy a 3 figure bottle asap, if you live somewhere near one a place that has testers in store, or online decant sites and manufacturer sample kits will be your friend, try before you buy and before you buy wear it for a little while and make sure you like it before you put down money
can these things be expensive? Yes. But as long as you play it smart you will be fine
this >>18187756 all applies as well
>>
>>18187738
find good shops and try the frags. depending on where you live lots of them are even happy to give you 1ml decants. never blind buy

Those new bottles will probably be pretty average, but good ol Costa Azzurra is thankfully good. A lot of their newer stuff is pretty insipid and trashy, especially at their current price points, but there were some excellent pre-2010 era bottles (Italian Cypress, For Men Extreme, Black Violet, etc) followed by a couple standouts since then. I can get behind dunking on modern TF but not the ~10 year old stuff

It's kind of bland and made by L'Oreal, so the performance might be shit as they like to randomly water stuff down. I have a sample.

When I was first getting into frags I blind bought a bunch of shit on discounters and thankfully was able to resell them for most of my cost when I realized I hated them or would never wear them. The best advice I can give is to buy several decants so you can wear it a few times to make sure you like it. I thought I loved Pegasus after using up one decant and on my second I realized I hate it for regular use, same with Toy Boy and a few others. I just sold 12 almost full bottles of misc frags and I'm down to just Kouros for everyday wear and 4711, which I use as aftershave.

Holy cope enjoy spending $300 on a bottle when you can get a dupe that is indistinguishable for 1/10th the price

Original person that asked why you dislike Native - basically what >>18189015 said. You should never expect a deodorant or body wash to be what smells good about you.

I’ve only used their unscented deodorant and body wash as well, it usually lasts all day if I’m not very active, might wear off a little if I’m working out.

Regardless, don’t wear any brand for their scent.
