>>18241560The Fragrance Flowchart for Beginners
>>18241563Just one more niche bottle and I'm done I swear
Buy more perfumes, anon
Which one should I buy?
>>18241619The gamer girl pee one
>>18241619Club de nuit
>>18241619i really like Explorer, haven't tested the other two yet. Probably all will be better value for money than Aventus.
Sotd Cedrat BoiseNewest purchase: Vert Fougere>>18241619Eros Energy is a fucking solid clone. Especially the white amber gives it a creamy drydown. Love it.
>>18241619Explorer is great, I haven’t tested Eris Energy but that bottle looks ghastly in that color. I would avoid Arab slop if you don’t want to get cancer.
Not a fan. I don't think I like this akigalawood shit in general. Much happier with Eau Intense Vetiver.
>>18241647I like it but got bored very quickly. Lots of compliments due to its high sillage though.
How is he so based bros?
>>18241683Bisch and Guichard for me
>>18241683I will not forgive him for creating the horror that is Le Beau. It’s a fragrance that makes the world a worse place to live simply by existing.
Le beau is all you need.Le beau edp for fall winterLe beau paradise garden for summer
>>18241683what's the fragrance where he used some bonafied estrogenic compounds?
I just got Spicebomb Extreme after blind ordering it after seeing everyone creaming themselves over how amazing it is, only to be thoroughly disappointed after trying it.I'm also waiting for Club de Nuit Intense Man, Sillage, Milestone, and Montblanc Explorer to arrive and I really fucking hope those are better...
Am I going noseblind or does this last only 2 hours before becoming a skinscent?
>>18241644CDNIM is made in France so it is bound by the same regulations as other perfumes.
>>18241787I want to believe that when it was first released it actually had the performance people talked about it having, but that was a long time ago, and it seems L’Oréal has reformulated it to dog shit. I’ve tested it with multiple people, the sillage is nonexistent and the frag lasts ~30 min or less before going skin scent. Really disappointing.
what’s a budget alternative to Le Labo’s cédrat 34?
>>18241790Can’t say that I had that experience with my sample, I went away from my desk to take out the trash one day while wearing it, and the scent certainly lingered around my desk when I came back. And it had been on my skin for something like 4 or 5 hours?
>>18241560call me a niche merchant but this shit has gone so hard this summer
>>18241804Did you put it on your clothes? I sprayed some down my shirt at the store and I could smell it on my undershirt days later. But on my skin it's dissipating in hours, or so it seems to my nose.
>>18241647>>18241649Interesting. I was curious about it.
>>18241560I want to enjoy this hobby more but I have chronic sinusitis. Anyone else have this problem? And if so how did you resolve it so you could enjoy fragrance again?
>be niche afficionado>read thousands the reviews and watch all the sub 10k niche channels>have curated collection of niche and vintage frags with artsy and offputting notes for the "seasoned noses">get sillagemogged by masstige- and designerbros wherever i go>never get compliments>even when i actively ask for feedback, people say they can't smell my perfume>on the rare occasions where they can, they say something weird like "hmm, you smell a bit, i don't know, dusty maybe?"i can't keep doing this bros. where do i go from here?
You can get a 200ml bottle of this for a pittance and it’s a classic. What’s your excuse for not becoming a Jooper trooper?
>>18241911Funny bottles too. Joi de vivre. Fragrance nerds are too serious.
what are some great, but cheap, scents to spray after a shower to prolong that fresh and clean feeling? I just finished up a bottle of nautica voyage
>>18241935Guerlain imperiale and Caron pour un homme
>>18241935Nautica voyage,
>>18241935Colonia Essenza
>>182419354711
Thoughts on this? I just got it recently as a gift and I like it much more than the normal EDP. Lowkey addiciting with a little warmer scent profile which makes it good for the fall
>>18241623>>18241630>>18241635>>18241637>>18241644Thanks, I think I'll give Eros Energy a try.
>>18241891Imma go ahead and respond to the obvious bait just for shiggles, but you’re wearing the wrong fucking niche shit lol, get wrekt. >Mousse IllumineeMultiple compliments and comments, all positive, and it doesn’t fucking matter because the only person I’m wearing it for is me. Weather is cooling down>Iron DukeLeave a trail of masculinity behind me and people know where I’m at when at work by following their nose. Feel that teratoma sweet tooth forming in my nose>A Whiff of Waffle ConeEveryone at work is talking about how I smell like waffles and/or syrup. Nice older lady walks past me, stops, turns around and comes back to me“It’s you! You smell so good! What is that?”
>>18241911Because there are many other, much better, frags that you can get for a pittance and are even more worthy of the description of “classic”. >>18241935It’s a touch sweet but The Dreamer smells like fabric softener in the best way possible imo.
>>18241951>>18241993based tasteful anonsI got a big splash bottle of 4711 and I swear it smells nicer applied this way then atomised, more floral
>>18241791I just ordered the EDT last week. The one i got is from UAE
>SOTD: Neroli Portofino
>>18241647>>18241649>>18241845I just got a sample in the mail. I like it, actually. I don't know if I will keep liking it, but so far its good. I can't really place the spicy smell yet.
>>18241619>EnergyHaven't tested, I have Flame, which is very well blended and has monster performance. Based on that I would think this one is pretty nice as well.>ExplorerIt's an absolute steal in the price range it's in, very pleasant and versatile. So fucking cheap, I'd say if you tested and liked it go for it, maybe start with a smaller bottle. >arab garbagePass.
>>18242199based
>>18241891you should stop with the sissysprainganything below five sprays should not even be called 'using a fragrance'>>18241935+1 for Caron pour un homme
You don't need more.
>>18242306You literally don't, that's like 5 years worth of frags unless you also use them as a toilet freshener.
>>18242315>10 bottles>5 years
>>18242317Not even all 100mls at that
How long does a bottle of frag last /frag/?
>>18242350approximately 5
>>18242350Too long usually
>>18242350about tree fiddy
>>18242306simple but mature taste
>>18241787Well CDNIM just arrived and it's already way better than Spicebomb.I've seen people say the opening is overly harsh and cleaning product like, but to me it was great.It was bright, citrusy and fresh, not harsh or too much like lemon pledge at all. Maybe I've just got a particularly good batch though.Now I'm even more excited to try Sillage and Milestone.
>>18242350Really depends. A year of daily wear maybe? A few months if you spray a lot
Anyone tried it yet? How is it?
>arab parfumes are ba-ACK
>>18242367The opening of CDNIM Parfum smells somewhat like cleaner, but it does settle down to something very nice.
>>18242380d
>>18242380What perfume is that?
>>18242350>>18242351>>18242354>>18242355Accurate. Unrelated: Anyone familiar with Akro fragrances?I’m trying Night right now and I’m curious if this is a good example of an oud/rose fragrance or not. The cumin in it (I’m assuming it’s the cumin) *really* takes this to a BO scent but, but I think I do still get some rose/oud.
>>18242420all of them
>>18242378w2c in america, I see they have it on perfume box, but I've never ordered from there and reviews seem sketch
Are the 2024 ADG anything special?
>>18242451Special? Not really. But Parfum is good enough mantlebearer for Profumo, and Profondo is also alright if you want a blue fragrance with a bit more marine style touch.
>>18242451I don't like them >:3
women love erba pura and swy
>gf says she likes oudwhat should I try? Or should I just shit myself
>>18242488What's better SWY, Intensely, or Absolutely?
>>18242516Absolutely has bit more depth to it through booziness, but both are so ridiculously sweet that I can’t recommend them.
>>18242501Go big or go home, get Black Afagno
>>18242537Looks great, thx anon
>>18242537Black Afgano is actually very pleasant compared to most rose oud frags.
>>18241619you obviously want Aventus, you heard that these are good clones. do yourself a favour and just buy Aventus. none of these smell like Aventus, you'll just buy the three bottles and spend the same amount as buying what you want anyway
>>18242501khmer kinam by agar aura>>18242537you are like baby
>>18242488matches well with a gucci cap, track suit and north african heritage

Thoughts?Creed = RolexParfums de Marly = OmegaClive Christian = Patek Phillipe Calvin Klein = CasioDior = TudorChanel = LonginesTom Ford = Audemars Piguet Frédéric Malle = Breguet Armaf = San MartinLattafa = Pagani DesignMont Blanc = Seiko
>>18242647Chanel and Dior are Rolex and Omega, nicheslop like Creed and PdM are more like gauche Arab-catering Hublot
>>18242647Wow perfumes are just like... Watches! Whoa ingenious xD
>>18242647This but Firmenich and Givaudan formulate a majority of these house's scents aside from in house.
>>18242684In-house perfumers are just ex-Givaudan, IFF and Firmenich and they still supply the same ingredients anyway
at least they know what the fuck they're doing unlike self-taught indie dilettantes
>>18242689Reading the Ghost Perfumer has kind of taken the magic away for me about the process. Especially Olivier Creed and how the business practically extorts perfumers.
>>18242378The w look like a pair of balls lmao
>>18242380that's a lotta shit in one bottle.
>>18242585everything mogs PDM. it's such a shit house
Alternativas for acqua di gio?
Should I blind buy Montabaco Intensivo?
>>18242647>Armaf = San Martin >Lattafa = Pagani Design
>suffering through facade renovation that fucks with the temperature and airflow of my home>air inside is so hot and stale that it kills away all enthusiasm to have anything scented here, including having any perfumes on me while I’m homeI genuinely can’t wait until this shit is over with and I can enjoy fragrances normally again. I don’t even want to spray anything on before going out, because it feels like the spray just lingers on like a ghost in the air for forever.
L'eau de QUOI !? Vous vous moquez de moi monsieur.
>>18241619I would recommend none of these. There's a million ways your money can be better spent. Even with Versace, Montblanc, and Armaf.
>>1824181140 Knots vs. Ivory Route i'm on team Ivory. Same scent but instead of woody aquatic it's dry sandy.
>>18242378All of the Hawas frags are going to be synthetic juice aquatic shit for 23 year olds. They're all flankers of Invictus Aqua. >>18242488>erba puraHorrible shockingly sweet.SOTD: Tabac Exquis (Amazing Tobacco-Sugar fragrance. Light, fresh, sweet, with a Tobacco body that's smooooooooth.)
>>18242829Shut the fuck up, battyman
>>18242818>VersaceI've only sniffed PH/Dylan/Flame. Do they have anything better?
>>18242854Versace in general is just kind of meh, their scents always seem to have an annoying, cheapish feeling edge to them.
>>18242860>>18242854PH is good though and you're both cringe
>>18242839>hawas>erba pura>battymanimaging defending these two frags calling anyone else gay lmao>>18242854Versace's lineup is basically centered around PH and Dylan Blue, but if you want to see more they have an Oud Noir in the Pour Homme bottle. They also have Blue Jeans which is a bright synthetic cheapie that punches above its weight (don't expect miracles - it's still just a bright blue cheapie,) and The Dreamer which is a legitimate classic, but has an 80s style to it in terms of the green herbal notes selected for the top. There's also Eau Fraiche is which an open watery woody scent which some like.
>>18242501Haltane or Halfeti.
>>18242902Cool I ordered a 'cant of Oud Noir, might check out The Dreamer in a store. >>18242916Halfeti sounds cool. Will check.
>>18242306Good collection.How's the xeryus? I was thinking of buying a vintage, I heard it smells better.
>>18242727No
I've realized I really like patchouli and I hate vanilla/sweet/boozy ones and aquatics. any recs for me?
i blind bought the ebay special 6.7oz azzaro chrome what am i in for? enlightenment? regret? eternal satisfaction?
Recommend good gift frags for my retard -as far as perfumes are concerned- gf please

>>18243173Gestern hat mich wieder meine deutsche Freundin besucht. Ich war so notgeil, dass wir direkt bei Ankunft Geschlechtsverkehr hatten. 2mal die Nacht, auch heute morgen bevor sie zur Arbeit gefahren ist.Das aufregende ist ihre weiße Haut auf mein Schokoladen-teint, sie hebt dies auch jedesmal hervor und liebt es.Das Beste kommt aber noch. Ich sprach an ihr Hintertürchen ausprobieren zu dürfen und sie sagte Ja. Sehr geile Frau, ich sagte ihr, dass sie Männerherzen höherschlagen lässt.Das alles riecht für mich verdächtig nach Allure Homme Sport.
>>18242709Versace Pour Homme
colonia or essenza for spring?
>>18243211Eros Energy
>>18243213cringe
>>18243214Best Aventus clone so far
>>18243215don't care, I can afford real aventus plus im not gay plus not what I asked
>>18243068I like that fragrance oddly enough. it's weird because I haven't seen any hype for it, nor do I like that genre in general
>>18242647doesn't really make sense, cause in fragrances the brands with the most heritage are not the most expensive onesI think it would be more like:Dior = RolexChanel = CartierGuerlain = BreguetHermes = VacheronTom Ford = Audemars Piguet Clive Christian = Jacob & CoCreed = HublotParfums de Marly = InvictaFrédéric Malle = Lange
Now that Aventus has become normie-core through it's clones, is pic related the only Creed worth owning?
>>18243261>Creed worth owningno such thing
>>18243266Only those from Bourdan
>>18243112Agarwood and Oud are not the same thing even though they’re often used interchangeably. Agarwood is the regular (healthy) wood of the tree, oud is the infected kind.
>>18243261>Doesn't want clones of Creed because they're overdone>Instead wants Creed's clone of Montblanc Individuel
Thinking about buying Ganymede. How's the performance of the current batches? Should I opt out for the extrait version?
>>18243344opt for*Fucking autocorrect
a fragrance thats normally is $150 is only $70 on fragrancenet, am I gonna get scammed?
>>18243346If you pay full price for frags you’re doing it wrong. I try and pay less than $.50/ml otherwise I consider it a ripoff.
>>18243344Extra it is a wildly different fragrance and generally agreed upon to be not good.
>>18243356This is the most cringe fragrance collection I ever seen.
>>18243363Do I really need more?
>>18243344
Why do people call Aventus masculine?To me the citrus makes it unisex. In fact I hate most "manly" fragrances like Spicebomb but I like Aventus since it's lighter and fruity. While I wouldn't call it overtly feminine, I'm wearing it right now and I can easily imagine a woman wearing this too.
>>18243412>Why do people call Aventus masculineNo idea, it's literally just tutti frutti in a juice box kek
aventus is as beautiful as it is masculine. like a greek statue.
Encre Noire smell so fucking good.
Should I blind buy this /frag/?

What’s our consensus on pic related?
>>18243533top 5 worst fragrances of the 2020's
I need you to recommend me a fragrance that can mask the smell of my urine.
>>18242865I rather like PH, but the opening is a bit harsh. The floral notes that emerge after are pretty nice. Some say AHS is better but I've only sampled it in the store.
>>18243533can't get past the metallic green banana. The EdP is a bit better, but I like TdH Parfum much more than both.
>>18243533You don’t have to love it, but you got to respect Hermes for making a new line that is so completely different from everything else.
>>18243533I like it, might get a bottle at some pointI like that Hermes went for something really different. the price is also not bad at discounters in the EU, seems to go as low as 50$ for 100ml
>>18243494DHI. why get the imitators when you could go for the line that started the whole trend?
>>18243261>clone of bargain bin designer fragrancelmaoyou could have attached a pic of Bois du Portugal instead or something. even Virgin Island Water. but the Montblanc clone?
>>18241619i'd go with aventus
>>18242451>>18242455why'd they disco profumo?
>>18243571That’s just how Armani rolls, pointless re-releases for perfume lines, flankers that come and disappear, constant reformulations. Most of their lines have a solid core idea behind them (at least on designer fragrance sale), but they are just goddamn annoying about the way how they want to utilize them.
>>18243482Yes but vintage from eBay. Love those natural oils
>>18241560Has anyone purchased Initio Side Effect recently? Is it not as long-lasting as it used to be, or am I imagining things?
thoughts? worth it if i already have aventus?
>Just got my first ever compliment (From my mum while wearing Club de Nuit Intense Man)
>>18243594also curioust. has a 500mL aventus and probably never will need any more but loves to waste money
>>18243594>>18243610I feel like it's Aventus that I can still smell on my skin more that 45 mins after I apply it.
ANOTHER AVENTUS CLONE
Does it get better than this?
>>18243577This is not the original polo green anon, it's supposed to be a 'modern' flanker, polo oud. Though, admittedly, I haven't tried the og either
>>18243625Literally no. It's the perfect men's fragrance.
>black currant, patchouli, amberThis would be the best perfume ever
Which one /sp/?
>>18243634Is this a serious question?
>>18243625It seems not
>Flirting with the MILFS at the perfume countersIs there anything better?
>>18243634Aventus if you're a middle-aged newly minted middle manager who just found out what a "sigma male" isBR540 if you're the female equivalent

What is the best Creed scent?
>>18243736Eros Energy
Man I hate Indians
>>18243736ORIGINAL SANTAL
>>18243743Best clone so far
>>18243613is that necessarily good tho? I do get anosmia with aventus pretty quickly but other people comment on it (unironically the one that women comment on the most), and I can smell it on my shirt the next day, and even on myself after a shower. it does actually last a long time, but most importantly women like it and smell it on meso if this one actually isn't as good, but doesn't give as much anosmia, that wouldn't be a great tradeoff
>>18242306Red pill me on AdG Parfum.
>>18243533I don’t care for it, but neither do I hate it. It’s certainly unique, so I give it props as >>18243553 said. Also, since you didn’t specify, Herb Vives > EdT > EdPBut I loathe the longevity of Herb Vives. Smells good for ~1H, gets weak at 2H, and then smells bad at 3H.
Any other /frag/ certified books aside from the Ghost Perfumer?
>>18243875Read Turin’s review books. Remember, you sin’t have to agree with them, they’re not bibles, but they’re certainly fun reads.

>>18243261That's not picrel
I recently bought a clone of Tobacco Vanille because I don't feel like paying $400 for something relatively seasonal and it's honestly the best thing I've ever smelled.
>>18243994which clone
>>18243949>>18243973I’m gonna be honest the patchouli in Zino is kind of a pleb filter. That fragrance really isn’t all that daring imo. But it definitely has to be dressed a little particularly and when I first smelled it I was a bit put off especially during the first 30 secondsIt is kind of interesting because it is a combination of the dirty sweet patchouli you might see in something pretty modern/edgy and popular oriental like a Memo African Leather but it also has this sorta dandy Habit Rouge floral fougere vibe with it.I might style it with something like pic related but I really have to be in the mood for it — and I reach for it a lot less than many of my other 50 or so fragrances. Obviously a lot of you will probably call this style gay or something so idk but it definitely fills a very particular “edgy pseudo formal” niche for me
>>18244005al haramain amber oud tobacco

>>18243610Just got my absolu decant. It's literally a sweeter aventus, berry instead of mango. None of the smoke. Kinda boring. Og mogs
>>18242306are you me?
Tomorrow is Friday the 13th, scent for such an event?
>>18243533Excellent. All three flankers are excellent and despite being a designer, don't smell ANYTHING like any other fragrance ever, which in incredible.
>>18243538Lol, I had no idea he was known for peeing on himself.
>>18243949Hes the most based reviewer in existence
>>18244063based, thanks anon
>>18244093Encre Noire
>>18244024this style gay. you beed to sleazemax when wearing zino. i mostly agree though, might get rid of my bottle if i dont wear it much during winter
>the feel when one day i will steal the wife of the Antichrist with Aventus and cuck himWould be the greatest success of getting laid.
>>18244267wtf i love aventus now?!(and yeah, ofc i'd do her, who wouldn't?)
>>18244262how do you "get rid" of a used bottle of sub 20$ perfume? who buys this? or do you mean throwing it away?
>>18244276sell it for a slightly lower price than new on parfumo. i've had people buy cheapies like that before. alternatively sell some other stuff at the same time, increases the chance of the buyer adding zino on top of other frags so shipping doesn't factor in as much.if all of that fails i'll give it away or put it in the local donation box
>>18243949his hatred of Zino is a bit surprising. maybe it's the skanky jasmine and shalimarish base?
https://youtu.be/BorhbN6CpVw?si=vEjLh2qjaJ3TwxjRMossad(and deep state, who ever the fuck they are hiding) did it, never forgetSOTD Aventus
You don't need more
>>18244316Those bottles are vomit inducing.
>>18243634BR540 made me smell like a woman
>>18244316I love Intense Man, and I've got Sillage and Milestone arriving within an hour. Can't wait to test them out. I've got Silver Mountain Water on a card next to me from testing it in the store yesterday and it's still surprisingly noticeable, so I'll be able to compare Sillage to the real thing.In fact it's still somehow making the paper smell "cold", which is a really weird but cool effect.
>>18243533I like it. Smells a bit too mature for me though.
You need a classic fougere, but modern interpreted and with better quality oils? Look no further.
>>18244398Interesting, I always found H24 pretty youthful and modern. Not high school -youthful, so it doesn’t feel off on older users, but the first impression still is like a sharp dressing twentysomething.
Lmao, can't stop laughing."The pine scent borders on blasphemy. Pure DIY store chipboard with melamine resin edging. Could be from Morillas, from the synth canister."
tom ford oud woods literally smell like going outside on a autumn day in the forest. But can you also wear it in winter? And how is the longelivity of it?
>>18244476What frag?
>>18244509longevity is quite weak unfortunately
>>18244554How's Nishane Kredo in terms of smell? Similar? Better?
>>18244583Bit more leathery and peppery, less sweet, so it’s a matter of preference which one is better purely on scent. But the longevity difference is insane, and Kredo is much cheaper at discounters.
if you love oud wood you could save for oud wood parfumultimately I think there are better ouds at way better prices but I won’t pretend that oud wood smells bad
>>18244608I don’t really even feel that Oud Wood really is an oud fragrance despite its name, there’s so little synth-oud in it that it just feels more like generic woody something. That doesn’t make it bad, though.
>>18244398>>18244423I have to agree it’s certainly not mature, but I wouldn’t call it youthful either. I’d call it age agnostic made with a modern design.
>Sneed Aventus
>>18243494I think there are better iris options from each of those houses. Dior Homme Original or Parfum > Intense. Givenchy Gentleman Boisee > Reserve Prive. Prada L’Homme original or L’Eau > Intense. Idk about Valentino Uomo actually.>>18243533I really enjoy H24 EDP. I hear the other ones are just as good. It feels like the early 2000’s and futuristic at the same time, somehow.
>>18244629I agree, the synthetic oud is definitely tangible for me but it is mostly a woody amber thing.
>>18243553I would respect it if it was actually good. Anyone can make a new dogshit fragrance, doesn’t mean it deserves respect.
Would this pass for a man in winter?
Lörs on Versace Blue Jeans? It was gifted to me and I don't really know what season is right to wear this
>>18244705never smelled I’m too broke for these guerlains but generally cherry is my least favorite note in the world
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwlTBFEvG00Is she right?
>>18244735I’m not going to watch that full video but yes to eau sauvage edt, chanel pour monsieur habit rouge is a no from me honestlyfougere royale is for poser retardscaron pour un homme is good but not my favorite
>>18244705cherry oud was one of the more memorable ones from that line i recall. i dont think i'd pull it off but it's really nice
>>18244706I like it in spring, summer and autumn. good fragrance IMO
>>18244752What do you mean by pulling it off? I'm sorry I'm really a perfume noob all I have is encre noir, intelrude amouage and invasion barbare (which was a gift)
>>18244383curious to hear your impressions
>>18244383Hope you got CDNIM Limited Edition
>>18244755it's hard to explain. it's like some fashion articles look nice, but may not look nice on you or you're not able to pull it off, or you won't feel confident wearing it. it's a personal statement rather than a comment on the perfume itself
>>18244756Sillage is interesting, it's different from the real Silver Mountain Water I smelled yesterday, but I've heard that it's almost identical to the original version and that the new SMW has been reformulated to the point that it's very different now. The Fragrance Apprentice on YouTube said that>Sillage smells more like Silver Mountain Water, than Silver Mountain Water does now.And he worked for Creed so I can only assume that's the truth. I think I prefer the real one, even if it's technically "worse" than it used to be, but I don't know if I'm going to be rushing to buy a £250 bottle any time soon.I still like Sillage though, it's similar enough and has the weird uniqueness that SMW does.Milestone is nice, I think I like it more than Sillage since I love the watermelon note. I like fruity, more unisex type fragrances so it appeals to me a lot. I don't like frags like Spicebomb that are touted as being extremely masculine.
>>18244758No I just got the normal version, does it really matter that much?
about to blind buy NYIwhat am i in for lads?
Buy testers.Buy fakes.Buy replicas.Buy from people and places that dodge sales tax and receipts.Borrow your friend's bottles.Take a coworker's (boss) perfume.
these two arrived today bois
what do you think about maison margiela jazz club?
>>18244800a good fragranceif you like Lalique Pour Homme, Bois du Portugal or Pour Monsieur EDP, it's a pretty safe buy anyway
>>18244841best one from the brand. you can find it for real cheap (50cent/ml) sometimes.
serge lutens be like total christcuck death eau de parfum
I have all kinds of expensive frags from Chanel etc but my girlfriend likes CDNIM the most lol. It's definitely not a meme.
>>18244862What about Pour Monsieur EDT?
>>18244954My GF likes following fragrances:1. Allure Homme Sport2. Bvlgari Aqua Marine3. Aventus/cdnim/eros energyMy GF is european, she doesn't like sweet gourmands.
>>18243261Bois du Portugal and Original Vetiver are the best Creeds, but they aren't worth owning either because they are so overpriced.
>AHS Idgi. Smells like overpriced Versace PH.
>>18244976Which is precisely why you should be buying Lalique puh instead. And why it's goated
>>18244825Dunno about the Arab one, but moustache EDP is an excellent one to impress the hoes come winter
I bought a few frags from Costco completely blind
>>18245069And they are....
This shit slaps harder than a 1950’s husband.
>>18245072Creed Aventus, Creed Orignal Vetiver, and Tom Ford Oud wood. They have a few other Creeds that I might blind buy later
>>18244509it literally smells like sweet af synthetic wood tf u on about
>>18244800a treat
Just received a sample of tdh edt, it's pretty mid. Was not surprised with H24 either. Currently waiting on caron pour un homme and Bentley silverlake.
>>18245145I’m not gonna shit on you for not liking something I like, but if you think TdH is mid, you either simply dislike the notes in the fragrance, or have irrationally high standards for fragrances.
When do you buy retail?
memes aside, what are youre thoughts?
>>18245167When I can’t get through any other method. >>18245177Memes aside, the bottle is gay af and I refuse to own any of them no matter if I like the fragrance or otherwise.
>>18245177I like the black version. The vanilla notes are awesome.>>18245179Insecure closet queer.
>>18245184>you don’t like something, in means you secretly like itTry harder
>>18245177>That bulge
>>18245177Safe and pleasant scent.
>>182450659PM is Ultra Male clone
>>18245177i've got a decent collection including like a dozen niche frags and i've still never smelled this one
>>18245214Damn son, you're aiming to get all them hoes, and on a budget. Keep at it playa.
>SOTD: Montblanc Explorer
>>18241911I can only wear this for solo anal play at home
>>18245232Based, maybe try Eros Energy too. Really good clone.
Friendship with Aventus DNA endedKouros DNA is my best friend now
>>18245305Sang bleu is Kouros but with Aventus nuances. Aventus is at the end a classic chypre, modernized with fruity pineapple.
>>18244973>she doesn't like sweet gourmands.Nobody does besides YouTube faggots and retards obsessed with being unique.There's a reason that just about every single mainstream fragrance is fresh, clean, fruity, aquatic, or soapy.
Is it true that women don't really like Aventus, and only men do?I've heard that they love Silver Mountain Water though which surprised me. I would have assumed the citrus of Aventus would appeal to women a lot, and the weird metallic inkyness of Silver Mountain Water would be off-putting.
>>18245308Interesting. Can you tell me more?I have Kourous Fraichur and it's a touch Aventus like because of the pineapple, very Chypre, and still has the projection/dirtiness of the original.It's a parfumcorp bottle.
>>18242350I got 50ml bottle of Gucci Pour Homme 3 months ago and I used half of it
New cop
>>18245322No one actually likes aventus, it's only popular with terminally online metrosexuals who've been psyoped by gayreed's marketing into believing a mild juice box is the end game of perfumery. LmfaoSOTD: supremacy incense
>>18245226it mogs your collection
>>18245372Second cop
>>18244968that too, but NYI is creamier, heavier and more vanilic, so more like the EDP
>>18245037yep. and Versace PH isn't even that good
>>18245323
>>18245372>>18245401Nice drawing.
>>18245322Women don't know what they want or like, don't bother worrying about them
>>18245177I like it, I don't use it that often though.
>>18245322Women will like whatever fragrance chad wears (as long as it's not an objectively terrible fragrance) so just wear whatever you like.
>>18245322>>18245510
>>18244774>SillageNich cool fresh opening, but the screechy musky dry down makes me nauseous.
Might have to bite the bullet and buy this at full retail
>>18245177I'm so in love with it I bought the 6oz bottle before my little bottle got down to his nipple-line. A few days ago I did my first overspray (like 10+) and just sat on my couch luxuriating in it. My girlfriend rubbed all over me like a cat in heat
>>18245400not falling for that shit again
All you needllYOUNEED
NEW>>18245907>>18245907>>18245907
>>18245167Designer and masstige slop? Never. If you can’t find them on discounters like Chanel mean they’re doing artificial scarcity and their slop is way overpriced so not worth buying.
>>18245177I don't love it. I think it's too in-your-face sweet and sticks to everything.
