As some have pointed out, there's a faint hint of the Sausage/Luna Rossa Carbon thing with the bergamot/lavender/pepper combo. However it lacks that signature 'brox bomb, which makes it more relaxed and "mature" but also means it's hardly going to project at all. Not bad for the price, but a bit dull.

>>18250302
L'homme Ideal is just modern slop, so it's good that it's not to your taste. I haven't tried Vetiver so can't comment on it, but I love Habit Rouge. I can see why someone wouldn't like it though, it could be perceived as old-fashioned & its powdery floral aspects may not be for everyone. Have you tried L'instant pour homme? it's a beautiful mix of citrus and cocoa/patchouli that's great this time of year.

It's clean inoffensive cool mint (as opposed to sweet mojito mint) with with a patchouli vetiver base. It's a blue-ish fragrance in that it's meant to be worn on any occasion in any season. It pairs with anything. Work, fun, date, whatever; it will work. Is it particularly exciting? Not really, but that's the function of blue[ish] fragrances.

30 years old male. Haven't been to /fa/ since I was 17. Looking for recs for a first time in relative serious consideration of a fragrance.

I intend to wear the fragrance year round since I don't currently have any other fragrances. I suppose since we're going into fall/winter that might be where I start out.

I don't really have an ideal price range. I suppose under 300 dollars for a bottle.

I don't really have a scent I'm looking for as I'm new to cologne and have basically just bought whatever was at Walmart. I currently use Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue and I have no opinions on it. It basically just smells like generic cologne.

I will mostly be wearing it at my job in an air conditioned manufacturing setting high airflow, temperature between 62 and 75 degrees.

I'm not opposed to "gourmand" fragrances. I enjoy vanilla notes and I'm not particularly looking to project a masculine aura. I just want to smell nice and not be overpowering.

I'm from /ck/ so here's an image. Is fragrance good for you?

>>18251279
>Fresh green citrus, buy Mugler Cologne instead.
Hasn't that been discontinued?

>>18251352
Perhaps it was, but it was revived under the original name this year. Just bought a brand new bottle.

>>18251342
Do you only want one fragrance? I'm a bit new to it too, but from what I can tell is you can sort of follow the seasons. Have a Spring/Summer scent and an Autumn/Winter scent. Maybe that doesn't appeal to you, but I like the idea of it being seasonal. I would suggest you look at which brands appeal to you, I like the more "classic" French brands, but that's because I like to larp as a 1950-1960's business man. Dior, Chanel, Creed, Hermes, Guerlain, and Acqua Di Parma, and to an extent, Tom Ford are all popular brands

>>18251342
Also review these:
>>18249454
>>18249457

>>18251358
>>18251359
I think I'm going to start with fall/winter since it will get me through the next 6 months or so. I looked at the chart but I'd still like to narrow it down a little bit. Are gourmand scents actually viable as a man or will I just smell like a tranny? I'm really not looking to smell manly or spicy, just kind of nice.

Try Kenzo Homme EDP for an original, genuinely "blue" frag with a dark tropical/aquatic profile
Bleu de Chanel Parfum (not EDP) if you want something very generic but objectively excellent
Dior Homme Sport for something universally pleasing and wearable everywhere. Somewhat one-dimensional but it's good. DH2020 if you think DHS is too citrus-forward
For something different but very natural-smelling as opposed to Kenzo's somewhat alien/synthetic feel, try Voyage d'Hermes (EDP or EDT, both are good). Extremely pleasant scent, not generic, suitable for all occasions

Same as clapping cheeks I guess.

Messed up with my last order. I got aqva bulgari, which smells nice but instantly disappears. Then I got floris jf and Lalique white edt. They smell so over the top exaggerated and also have the shittiest longevity. I feel like an Arab man wearing them. Can anyone recommend a similar aquatic smell that lasts longer, and a floral and citrus fragrance that actually smells nice?

>>18251808

You faggot should have bought Eros Energy, best clone so far.

>>18251156
I received it as a birthday gift
I think it's interesting but at first I thought the sample was boring because it's so heavy on the ozonic/cucumber thing that for some reason is called "aquatic"
there's definitely more to it going on but the ozonic thing is the most significant aspect and it's taking some time to smell past that
also it's overwhelming and lasts forever. I don't think I would have chosen to buy this myself but the low hanging fruit of what frags to get I've exhausted and this was as good a gift as I could expect.

So my bottle arrived. Absolute banger, right amount of sweetness, but backed with enough freshness. Only downside you can smell the low quality, a bit synthetic.
Original Santal would be an step up.

Original Santal absolutely feels better blended, but the price proposition is insane. I’d happily pay a upper-bracket designer fragrance price for it, though, but never what Creed’s asking for it.

For some reason all women's perfumes just smell the same, like flowers and candy store.
Weirdly despite being a much smaller market, mens fragrances are a lot more interesting with a lot more variety.
My mum wears Marc Jacob's Daisy Dream and I got given a sample of J'ador L'or recently which I thought smelled nice. It had a fizzy sherbet smell to it, and reminded me of a candy here in bongland called Love Hearts.

What’s the best Montale rose and oud fragrance out of their selection?

Alright I tried gamer girl pee, the citrus is totally styled on DHS. I actually quite like the lemon/musk combo, but I don't really get Aventus from it at all. I would definitely consider Energy as a poor man's alternative to DHS or DH Cologne.

I really like Carved oud by thameen (tom ford oud wood but slightly spicy) but im allergic to it (sinus headache), cannabis by malin goetz im not allergic to but its not the right fit for me, I really like black afgano but again it gives me sinus headaches i think its the flower based materials (violet jasmine etc). I use to wear hwyl by aesop never had an issue with that liked it but I didnt like its performance.

Decants ive bought and dont vibe w:
lalique - encre noir
lalique encre noir extreme
orto parisi - viride (i like but too green not dark enough
zoologist - musk deer
tom ford - tobacco vanille
tom ford - tobacco oud
T kosomala - apres l'amour no.4
maison crivelle - absinth boreale
ive smelt a load of normal stuff in harrods/selfridges

>>18252554
>>18252605
I only have Rien II and Marquis de Sade, I absolutely love the latter even though I find it a tad bit too faint, however I'm still not sure how I feel about the former.
Rien was a blind buy as I got a ridiculously good price for it on a discounter but it's the first time my expectations of a fragrance were so incredibly off (seriously, I don't even know what exactly I expected but it was literally nothing like it). I admire just how powerful and loud of a fragrance it is, and I really enjoy the scent after the first couple of hours, however upon initially spraying it, I cannot help but feel like I've stepped into a piss-drenched underpass turned into a BDSM sex dungeon somewhere in Baghdad. It's just such a ridiculous fragrance, and this straight up filthy smell carries on for hours - many hours - and projects across miles. Once the fecal/pissy accords subside and the chemical/metallic/industrial notes take over, it's absolutely amazing though.

i get 0 b.o./piss from rien

Ok, I have changed my mind about TDH. I wore it in high heat so that was my error, the slightly sour orange rindness and earthy notes don't come off as pleasant in +30(88) degree weather.

It works best in cooler weather and is very nice. I finally get the vetiver note. Definitely not slop.

That said what are some fragrances similar to it, looking for that middle ground of uplifting citrus and vetiver.

Might blind buy the tres fraiche because Robes08 said it was done really well and the perfumer is a master with aquatic notes which it has.

>>18252445
I did and it just smells like musk and cedar after an hour

I'm looking for some incense woodsy frag and ended up sampling some CDG. Really liked Kyoto, Hinoki and Avignon but performance kinda feels like shit for the pricepoint. Any recs for something similar with better performance?

>>18252827
Maybe good old Guerlain Vetiver? I find that one better in hot weather. With TdH the spices and resins come out too much when it's hot, it's better autumn to spring

>>18252761
Depends on the fragrance really. The concentration is not the only factor which can affect overall quality.
Chanel Platinum Egoiste is only EdT concentration but three or four sprays is all I need and will project for a good 6 hours or more.
Kenzo Homme EDP has great longevity, but I still need like 10-12 sprays to get the same projection that I get from the Chanel.

>>18252945
>but I'm afraid of the "old man smell".
youth ends at 21, if you're older than that, you've got nothing to fear

>>18252945
Guerlain Vetiver doesn't smell like an 'old man smell' to me. Sure, it's a classic mature fragrance, not like the modern sweet things most young men wear today, but it's also not a stuffy musky old man smell like maybe CK Obsession.
It's pretty fresh and light. Actually I think it's a bit boring and safe personally, but definitely not an 'old man smell'.

Whats the point of a "fragrance collection"? Just have one scent that everyone knows you by, maybe another one if your fav doesnt work in the summer.

>>18252910
LNDL edt is the best, myslf and Y are also solid though and are loved by women (which is the only reason you need a fragrance)

>>18252968

Secretions Magnifiques will fit you perfectly.

>>18252554
>SotD: Ghost in the Shell
Possibly the best performing warm weather frag that also doubles as being a non-citrus choice.

>>18252644
The Comme de Garcons incense line should be mandatory testing if you’re interested in incense frags. You could look at Pineward as well since you seem open to niche, but nothing jumps to mind by him, he has more woody/smoky, not quite incense.

>>18252827
Most agree that Eau Givree is better for higher heat than standard TdH. Also, I wouldn’t call Tres Fraiche aquatic, or even really having aquatic notes, it’s a more floral take on TdH to my nose. Regardless, not for me because floral, but the Gay Dragon also likes it so give it a shot. Mind you, Tres Fraiche is discontinued, so be careful falling in love with something that’s not being made anymore.

It might come as a surprise to an autist like you but some people like variety and smelling different things.

>>18252968
I wouldn't say I have a collection, but I like to have 5 or 6 fragrances at any one time.
There's a couple which I always keep and have used for years.
Then there's 3 or 4 which are either seasonal faves, or just one offs that I have bought, will use up, and not buy again.
It's nice to have a variety that fits the weather, the situation, or just my mood or outfit.

>>18252968
I think they're fun to "collect" and they let me larp more effectively

>>18252790
Fat Electrician's longevity was like 1 hour on my skin. But YOSLY lasted the entire day for me. YOSLY leans feminine to my nose, so I'm reluctant to wear it, but it smells real nice to me.

I was trying out a bunch of different Amouages, so I got a bunch of decants.
I immediately hated Interlude Black Iris and Royal Tobacco immediately because the woody/smoky scents overpowered everything. I waited like 2 months, and those overpowering smoky scents are completely gone and it actually smells pleasant to me now. Is this maceration happening in real time or did my nose just get used to the parts I hated?

Recommendations for a fragrance like Armani Aqua di Gio but a more sophisticated and longer lasting one?
