The Fragrance Flowchart for Beginners
Tried pic related today and really liked it. I don’t know if it has a leather note but the drydown reminds me a bit of a Chanel fragrance, maybe Egoiste or Antaeus, though this one smells much more woody. Got a 2ml decant so will be wearing out again to figure out if it’s bottle worthy.

our response?
>>18189780the Parfum was better, but it's pretty nice for a sport flanker. very incensy
>>18189797I agree, but DHI and DHP are not versatile enough IMO. DHS shouldn't have been a sports flanker anyway.
You don't need more.
>>18189760i need to get my hands on the PdE sample set already, i’ve been taking my sweet time with ordering it>>18189768seethe harder mowglischizo>>18189780the bar is on the floor in that regard, friendo

Is anyone else getting bored of fragrances?
>>18189836>i need to get my hands on the PdE sample set alreadydo it, you even get a 20 EUR voucher for a full bottle purchaseit's a shame they don't send out samples for Ruade as it's too expensive (420 EUR for a 50ml bottle), do yourself a favor and check it out in a store if you cantop3 (yeah, Luca Turin was right again):>Ruade>Azemour>Vetiver Bourbon>>18189846imo all clean musks fit this bill, some examples:>Nasomatto Silver Musk>Etro Musk>EP The Musc>>18189858nope
>>18189863i really want to try ruade, that fucking sucks. i don’t own any ouds (so far my favorite ouds so far have been the cartier ones) so i’m interested to try a truly uncivilized oud. is it something you’d recommend blind buying? i’m kinda tempted to leap on the jomashop bottle.
>>18189863>some examples:>>18189863didn't mention kiehls>>18189850>>18189853he neither
>>18189846MFK 747CdG Marseille (not laundry detergent but savon de Marseille)
>>18189880don't blind buy a 420 EUR frag, it's just silly - i'm sure you can find decanted samples on the internetalso i don't find it uncivilized, it's basically natural oud and hay in a sophisticated 'horse-y' way, imo it shares notes with some of Corticchiato's Corsican Heritage frags (like Corsica Furiosa or Mal-Aimé)check out Dusita Oudh Infini or Rogue A'Oud Ancienne if you want a stinky oud in your collection
>>18189894it’s on jomashop for $200 for 50ml which is really not that bad. i’ve done crazier blind buys before, so i’m kinda tempted. it absolutely sounds up my alley and a serious oud is something i’m genuinely missing in my wardrobe, so i may spring for it. i do like mal-aime a lot as well (the only PdE i have a sample of), so that helps. i have a sample of rogue’s a’oud ancienne and it’s really just too vile for my taste. it truly does smell like horse manure.
>>18189905>$200buy it now
Guerlain Vetiver EDT or Parfum? And which one is better for warmer weather?
>>18189906i’ve busted my spare income allowance for the month on clothes. next month or september probably. >>18189911EDT, the parfum is a waste of time.
>>18189911Parfum, not even a contest.
>>18189911+1 for EDTthe Parfum is worse for more money>>18189913gl;hf (also fuck you, that's a great price)>>18189916>Parfum, not even a contest.lol wtftell us why you would say that
>>18189916if you’re a retard, yes
>>18189917i was eyeing some bottles of used cartier l’heures for like $650 (a really good price for like 7 bottles god damn) but i might have to blow all my spare dosh on those and ruade next month. i have too many fucking hobbies man.
FINALLY FUCKING FOUND IT. THE PERFECT SIGNATURE SCENT
>>18189917>>18189919Because I have that isn't broken.

>>18190077looks nice on paper, have any experience wearing it?
Bros...Let's settle this once and for all, what is /our frag/?Should work for any occasion, any season, any time.
>>18190093New York Intense
>>18190093cool water
>>18190093Something disgusting in any case, as demonstrated by the two previous replies.
I bought a 5ml decant of creed aventus and a 100ml bottle of cool water on sale, which was cheaper than 5ml aventus. And i like cool water more.
>>18190112that’s because cool water is good and aventus isn’t
>>18190093It has to be Aventus. Not because it's the best frag ever, but because of the rabid fanaticism it inspires on both sides. This play is nothing but an argument that never ends, bottle that up and you get Aventus.Also fuck you to the coward janny that banned me for a couple days because of bulge posting, my dick was covered. You can post bulge on Instagram and not get banned you jealous bastard.
>>18190133based and bulge pilled
>>18190133of course the faggot pajeet thinks aventus is worth jack shit lol
Has anyone tried this before? How strong is the incense in it?

What's the most fruity feminine smell I can pick as a guy without being faggy?
Sotd: light blue intenseI smell like salty water and that's a good thing
>>18190452you smell like someone who doesn’t actually like perfume, more like
>>18189733Many complain that fragrances have become weaker and that they don't last or perform unless sprayed over 10 times. But did those people think about the business point of view? How is someone supposed to make money from something that costs 50$ if people are only going to buy it once a year? Prices have to go up and performance has to go down, otherwise no more fragrance because no more money.
>>18190452Light blue intense don't smell like salty, but plasticy-citrusy, almost like hairspray.Try OG Kenzo Homme instead.
did anyone try the new Rogue frag?>Absolue De Mousse>Resinous, mossy, bitter-green, spicy, floral. Introducing Absolue de Mousse, an olfactive journey that delves into the very essence of Mousse Illuminee. You will be immersed in a symphony of oakmoss and treemoss, harmoniously blended with myrrh resin and labdanum. The result? A sweet, captivating note that radiates throughout the fragrance...
Rogue is an amateur clone house that operates at a competence level which is objectively inferior to even Middle Eastern clone brands. Just further proof that branding is all it takes to sway fragtards.

Should you spray fragrance on your skin or clothes?Also:>SOTD: Asad
>>18190172Leans feminine with sweetness and florals. You can look at Botafumeiro note pyramide which I feel is a much closer representation of the actual smell. More smokey than incensy. Overall when I smell it I imagine a freshly baked cake with fruits, a sticky sweet glaze on top and just a tiny bit of smokey char at the bottom.
>>18190467You have to try, some fragrances smell better on skin, some smell the same, some lasts longer on clothes or on skin etc...It depends on what you want/like, most of the time you do both.
>>18190461I don't get citrus a lot. For me it's salty musk
>>18190467on yo ass
>>18190464I completely gave up on niche houses. It was interesting at first to smell like a plank of wood or a barnyard with rode. But in the end of day i wanna get laid and scents like Allure homme sport, Cool water and Aventus will do the job.

>>18190200Why are you so obsessed with German women? What's so special about them anyway?
I've tried Kenzo Homme EDP (very nice, "dark" leathery aquatic), EDT (pretty good classic aquatic but smells like nail polish remover to me), and EDT Intense (not as good, kinda screechy tropical fig scent, meh)Are the other flankers worth trying?
>>18190465This one is better
>>18190462Rogue is massively overhyped brand in these threads considering he has only one good fragrance, Mousse Illuminee.

>>18190512all roger bird frags are overpriced slop
>>18190512roja dove is a scam designed to take full advantage of the unceasing waves of rich oil money arabs and indian brahmins that flood harrods in london every day.
>>18190512"Trivial, cheap-smelling woody lime thing"also this >>18190518to make it even more obvious, he used to have a of frags named after gulf states just to pander to his clients who are willing to pay 500 USD for 50 ml.
>>18190518Roja is also a perfect example how fucked up the "niche" category is.Cloning designer scent DNAs, claiming it's made with better oils and make it 10x more expensive than designers.At this point i can safely say that most niche are a scam.
Hello /frag/ vacationing in Seoul and have access to way more selection than my home nation. I am looking for recommendations because I am not very knowledgeable in this area. Following the guide posted:-Provide your age range30-35-Provide the season or climate you intend to wear the fragrance in.Tropical 80's and 70% humidity Provide your ideal price range for buying a recommended frag$200 or less-Provide some details on what type of scent you are looking for (favorite notes and accords, hated notes and accords, etc.)-I like Ferragamo UOMO signature and English Laundry Cambridge KnightProvide some details on your intended aesthetic and setting for wearing a scent (frag for school, the office, dates, casual daily wear, etc.)-Daily for the office. UOMO Signature was my daily but I cannot find it.

Best fragrance to attract Russian chicks in Dubai?
>>18190462Is anywhere selling decants of this yet? I didn’t even see it released.
>>18190568L'Wallet Intense
>>18190573yes, Ecuación Natural has it
>>18189733>sotd: the one in the OPthe only patrician choice today
>>18189846montblanc individuel
>>18190504probably a toss-up between Heritage EdT and Habit Rouge EdT
>>18190585those 2 + Shalimar EDP are my top 3 frags ever made
>>18190512Pretty bottle and expensive price means it's good
>>18190576I’ve never ordered from Ecuación Natural, they primarily service Spain, correct?Do they also ship to the US?I’ll have to look at some other major sites after I get out of work. Thanks for the heads up on the release!
>>18190616they do ship to the US but you will probably have better options there (like ordering the 30ml bottle from Rogue)
Unironically recommend this as a cheap summer frag that's not just another citrusy smell.Opening is very minty a bit on the synthetic side, but quickly dries down to a very nice refreshing black tea with slight minty-citrusy notes.
Mechant Loup or Premier Figuier?
does cool water pass as a good gym scent
>>18190462It's a much more earthy, gentle fragrance that lacks the soapy sparkle of Illuminee. But it opens with a really vile funk that I can't put my finger on. I don't know if it's worth suffering through the opening to enjoy.>>18190573Luckyscent has samples.
>>18190574Kek. I was thinking the exact same thing in a much less humorous way. >>18190635Even at the modest price of $85 not going to blind buy a 30 ml bottle. >>18190986Ahh thank you, I’ll have to pick up a sample with my next order.
Fragrance to attract white women as a man of dark complexion?
>>18191029see >>18190574
>>18189737where would pic related fit onto this chart? it's the only fragrance i own / am familiar with. i have gone to department stores and sampled some other options but they all just smelled like "department store cologne" to me -- so it's hard to have a reference for smells besides "leather" "tobacco" "tire rubber" etc.
>>18191100probably somewhere up by Le Male EDT - both have that vanilla/mint/tonka vibe, but i don't get lavender with Eros EDT
>>18191111correct (confirmed by digits as well)
>>18191100in the dogshit section

Ted Lapidus Pour Homme - $20. Need it or Keep it?
Is Cool Water Reborn good?
>>18191222I like it. it's like kouros but pineapple/honey instead of cinnamon. i didn't care for lapidus sport though.
rate my collection so far
>>18191321pretty good, tuscan leather takes me back to memories at the strip club
Been wearing D&B blue intense that I was gifted. Also have 4711 and Cool Water. I use 4711 at home because it's so light and short. I have had negative reactions to Cool Water from women so it's stuck on the shelf.I want to get a cold weather fragrance for the upcoming seasons. Thinking G&B The One EDP because it's apparently light and I can't stand very strong scents, even the Light Blue I can only stand one spray.
>>18191321How are 2024 batches of CDNIMPerformance still beast mode or is it watered down?
>>18191309I was hoping to sample it but perfumedcourt shut down. $20 isn't a bad blind buy and I do need an animatic. mostly I've been intrigued by the memes.
>>18191321literal impoverishment in olfactory form
Thoughts?
>>18191353more like gay
>>18191321Club de Nuit is one of the worse fragrances I've ever felt. Pure synthetic ink>dry down is better No, the dry down is also trash
>>18191359Yeah I got a 2024 batch and it’s weak as fuck, I’m returning it and getting Afnan Supremacy not only intense instead…I had a 2022 batch I gave away and it was beast mode sad it’s shit now
Is there anywhere I can buy Caron Le 3eme anymore, or am I stuck buying it directly from them? Is the same thing going to happen to Yatagan soon?

>>18191431something really gay like le male
>>18191431Since you're not really a biker, John Varvatos
Boss Bottled Night layered with Tom Ford Neroli smells good and refreshing
>>18189826You need more if you want performance. My Encre Noires have next to no lasting power on skin. They burn away to a vague sweet-sour skin scent residue within half an hour. They last for weeks on wool, but the projection is odd even then, sometimes being distinctly noticeable across a room, often not seeming to project at all.I like their scent profiles a lot (well, the original and extrême), but I've had enough of intensely synthetic fragrances that seem to overwhelm the senses.
>>18191353It smells like ass. I expected it to macerate and improve, but no. I expected the dry down to improve the smell, but also no. Most of all, the lavender is too strong for my taste, and the other notes do nothing to help it. It's just ass and reminds me of febreeze. Just get The One.
What are some fragrances I could wear that would make people think "this guy is a rapist"
>>18191504aventus
>>18191504most old school masculine frags will do the trick
>>18191404i'm still pissed off>>18191222sneed it. it's nice, amped up on the honey and slightly less funky than kouros. al rehab lord is similar to those two too.i like the sports flanker but it's very different
>>18191404If you're in the EU:https://www.my-origines.com/fr/le-3e-homme-15618399.html
>>18191029Aventus, Allure Homme Sport, Cool Water helped me so far. Avoid oud, sweet bombs that's all for attracting black/brown women.
>Aventus>German women
>>18191553Stop posting this hoe please
>>18191563You hate the coomer mutt now huh?
>>18191565Aventus is overrated as fuck. It's like the Tesla of perfumes.
>>18191566>Tesla>AventusHilarious comparison. The fruity-chypre with musky drydown is unbeatable.

If I wanted to smell like, say—an epiphany on a cold, clear winter night, Sirius's bright eye sparkling, the Pleiades kindly twinkling, and the Winter Hexagon hovering like heavenly nursery mobile, what would I wear?If I wanted to be kissed by the Muses until I was quite red, and fondled like a perfect baby with eyes full of heaven, but then also seduced by their bright, swift feet in the moonlight like a hunter who has the prey in sight and blood pounding in his ears like a hurricane in a boatsail, what would I wear?Were I to be kidnapped by Calypso and made her man-puppy-servant-dog for many years upon sex-cave-island, but whimpered long nights for my sweet, doting wife across the seas, what should I wear?If I want to smell like the sweat of an orange in the mouth of Sappho of Lesbos when her breath rushes across its skin and she lays upon her back, and her raven hair runs down in long loops upon the sand like the ripples of time-space after a binary neutron star collision, and the hot summer wind kicks the smell of wheat and honeysuckle into the deep purple skies, and her moonlit eyes sigh with longing for me—a perfect man who will not be born for 2500 years, thus a pure and divine romance which will forever be unfulfilled, what do I wear?

Everything I come across that is "office appropriate" is a fresh scent. The cold weather fragrances are all date night supposedly. Is it possible to cover both bases with one cologne?
>>18191715I'd say Eau des Baux is completely fine as an office frag, I use it that way myself in the colder months.
>>18191715i will use Divine Vanille in the office for fall/winter
