Luca Turin is like the Sheldon Brown of fragrance. He had some worthwhile things to say but he vastly outstayed his welcome and usually you can spot someone who doesn't know what he's talking about because he's citing Luca Turin as an authority

i personally like sauvage edt but women never have said anything. even have a couple of backup 200mL bottles i bought years ago because i really liked it and thought they might reformulate
aventus, which i cant even smell on myself constantly surprises me with women saying something. i'll forget i even put it on cuz i can't smell it and then some chick says i smell good or asks what i'm wearing

Thinking of blind buying Bois Imperial
>>
>>18245918
It’s dirt cheap to start with, they have a travel spray that’s (I’m assuming) even cheaper, then a discovery set on top of that for like ~$20. Go for it.

Fragrances you don't really like but somehow can't stop spraying? Pic very much related. It's spicy, smokey and green but the green aspect is very airy and piercing - almost chlorine like. Smells like opening a can of spicy soda in a public toilet.

Thoughts on Cedrat Boise?
I'm tempted to blind buy it.
All the (((YouTubers))) say it's one of the best fragrances available and the vibe online seems to generally line up, but I've seen a few different people say it smells like an ashtray.
The price is good at around £70 for 120ml on Notino right now so it wouldn't be an enormous loss, but I'd rather get some more opinions first.
>>
EuroCHAD here, do you have a good dupe site? I want to blindbuy several bottles to test without paying €200 for a perfume
>>
>>18245951
Oh no. I don't want women to be reminded of rapey shitskins when they smell me. They truly ruin everything.
>>
>>18245961

I have it and I wouldn't recommend it. It's average imo. They say the intense version is better, but I haven't smelled that one.

Aventus or Montblanc Explorer are much nicer imo.
>>
>>18245966
Don't worry. The shitskins me as a brown also despise wear Oud-rose, sweet bombs, oriental-flowery stuff.
Aquatic, fresh, soapy is your way to smell competent.
>>
>>18245973
I already have CDNIM and Montblanc Explorer and use them as my daily wear, so I was worried about Cedrat Boise being kind of redundant.
>>
>>18245980
I would really recommend buying a sample of Cedrat Boise first, because it definitely isn't a safe blind buy imo.

It smells messy and vile to me. I honestly think that Cedrat Boise has to use some aromachemicals that smell very different to different people, because I literally can’t find the positive descriptions people attribute to it with my nose, and I know I’m not alone. But I also know that many like it, so…

Don't know anything about perfumes and I just borrowed (stole) a bottle of Invictus from my dad. Is this a good one? Can't really tell the difference between this and his other ones.

That's sad, hopefully you'll get to catch up with him when he returns. Also, I'd suggest you look at some of the pastebins for info to learn more about different frags. Not trying to be rude, but just learn a bit about it and how to frame your question. Do you like the way the bottle of Invictus smells on you?

Etsy has protections in place and always sides with the buyer in disputes. The better question is why the fuck are you buying decants off shit like decantshop and fragrancetest or whatever fly by night eCommerce pages you redditors give hundreds to for fakes

No prob, nigga. It kinda smells like my dad in that all his perfumes kind of end up smelling the same to me. It's nice.
>>
>>18246318
etsy is pretty shit. they'll refund your money but they don't really penalize sellers for constantly trying to rip people off and creating hassles for them. and they don't even have a mandatory shipping deadline like ebay so if you're buying a gift for someone's birthday the seller can just sit around for 2 weeks before shipping and ruin it. they also delete alot of negative reviews for sellers and don't allow you to filters reviews by rating so you gotta scroll through hundreds of reviews to find the negative ones.
>>
>>18246045
I smelled Centaurus and Delphinus at the mall and Centaurus was the more interesting one because it smelled like a newer DNA whereas the Delphinus was essentially Himalaya with a twist. (unless they gave me the wrong sample which might be possible.)

It's not superior, they are neck and neck. I own all 3 PE versions.

>>18246706
The reformulation isn't bad, it's just less woody than the previous two, with the most woody being the first. It is also got more citrus in the opening and more musk. It feels more modern and youthful, the older ones more vintage and masculine.

All are great in their own ways.

This autumn has really raised my respect towards Guerlain’s L’Instant. It gives you that nice Guerlain evolutionary experience where the scent stays interesting for its whole lifespan unlike newer releases from the house (for example, Homme is nice, but it really doesn’t evolve), but it also feels modern enough that it is super easy to pull off unlike classic Guerlains. It’s also really unique on top of that.

If it's similar to Axe Alaska then it's probably the only scent you need. Heard that Silver Marble is a niche take on that legendary DNA. Still waiting for my sample.
>>
>>18247125
The Parfumo community doesn’t vote it as a gourmand, but I could see the argument being made. I like it as well, but I also like most sweet gourmands, where as /frag/ in general typically loathes them.

>>18247046
It’s a good one. It feels like a more modern Guerlain heritage or a less gay Dior homo original. Something in between those two. Which reminds me I haven’t worn it in a while.
>>
>>18247386
If you can get it for that price the Parfum is slightly better, but the Intense is also a really good choice.

Eau des Baux is another well liked choice that’s more subtle.
>>
>>18246718
Kinda yea.

It's definitely a fougere because as soon as you spray it you can smell the lavender (+raspberry) notes and the sandalwood/moss base. On top of that it adds a bunch of brighter spice notes to accentuate the raspberry and give it some depth and interest.

Bel Ami Vetiver is also great, but that's more if you like 80s leather stuff like Antaeus. ballsy thing to release for a modern designer brand, can't see anyone else doing it

Torino21 is literally nowhere near that, it’s mainly mint and blackcurrant notes in rather saturated form. Drakkar Noir is much, much darker.

It's OK, like RYM but for perfume. At least the descriptions and comments somewhat reflect the consumer experience. Parfumo is just a bunch of circle jerking German weirdos churning out incoherent word salad driven by peer pressure. Often I'm left wondering whether the respective reviewer actually tested a fragrance or they're just stacking up comments and reviews for their own sake.

>>
>>18248693
The original Eau Sauvage may have been a masterpiece prior to ingredient bans and reformulations (I wouldn’t know, I never got to try it), but the modern thing essentially smells like lemon pledge and lasts 30-60 minutes before disappearing.

The Parfum (2017 edition) keeps the opening and extends it a touch and then actually expands on the base a little. So to directly answer your question - Good, yes. Great, no.

Personally I enjoyed the Eau Sauvage Extrême (2010) much more.
>>
>>18248659
I think I'm going to try the vetiver. TDH EDT smells a bit too sour for me. I heard good things about Eau Givree, how does it compare to the fraiche?
>>
>>18248706
Tres Fraiche is really soapy and floral to my nose, which isn’t my thing. It’s kind of hard to compare the Givree to the Fraiche, but comparing the Givree to the original it’s a little more tart on the opening, then you start to get those warm balsamic notes from the juniper which I loved.

If you liked the Tres Fraiche and not the original EdT, I don’t think you’ll like Eau Givree, but doesn’t hurt to try it first hand.
