Irish Leather vs Le Male EDT. Quick. I need my SOTD.

Fragrances to have sex with yellow women?
>>18290007BOISIMPERIALEXTRAITBY QUENTINONIUS BISHERIUM>>18290040the most expensive di ser
For me it's Creed Aventus, the best fragrance
>>18290013why do anons have the most generic tastes in fragrances? all i see is the same old kouros, encre noir, jpg le male variants. branch tf out anons, do better. anyways sotd TF noir extreme

Is there any credence to the claim that BI is reformulated?
>>18290058Noooooo, este perfume ha sido reformulado. Todavía no tiene ni 2 años y ya lo han estropeado con una reformulación. ¿Quién, te preguntarás? Esos pequeños y astutos judíos que despliegan equipos de químicos maliciosos. En este mundo de ruinas humanas, los judíos no pueden permitir que exista algo puro. Deben corromperlo y profanarlo para arruinar el disfrute de todos.
>>18290047Pretty based and Tom Ford pilled.
>>18290027Why would you wear JPG?
>>18290047Based. Have you tried the Parfum?
>>18290069En efecto, fueron los judíos. >>18290103Gangsta rap made me do it.
>>18290027Irish Leather.
>>18290047>Generic>Literally pulls out the expensive generic for morons.You wanna get creative? How about you take a puerto rican shower in Hyrax and walk around town.
>>18290136I already picked Le Male. Weather will be 24°C top so it suits better. A shame since I will be out for twelve hours straight and will have to reapply because performance is doodoo.
>>18290148thats the problen, its too hot for le male IME, its more of a 15C or lower scent whereas now you shouldve gone for Irish leather because the juniper and tonka aromatics benefit from the heat for releasing their scent
>dozens of samples and bottles later, still haven't found the scent I want to be wearing foreverAt best I've found stuff that's 8/10, but never anything perfect. I suspect I never will, right?
>>18290199A shame you're not familiar with Tobacco Oud by Tom Ford. Tuscan Leather is a great second place.
>>18290205Oud Wood is nice but not a 10/10. Ombre Leather is a 6/10 for me, I dislike the drydown. Haven't tried TO or TL though.
>>18290222TL is the same leather as in OL but without the feminine twist of the white florals. The saffron and raspberry give it a masculine boss man elegant twist. I wear TL and Rosendo Mateu 5 whenever I go to the strip club.
>>18290013Today I changed my mind about fragrances. I don't think that they're stupid anymore.While I was returning home, a girl passed by and she smelled intensely, furiously, majestically and aggressively sweet! I didn't even see her face ( which is the most important thing in a woman) and I instantly went crazy for her! ( probably her pantyhose helped too, but I can't know for sure).She made my day! FROM SMELL ONLY! IT WAS SO INTENSELY AND AGGRESSIVELY SWEET!
>>18290044Smells great indeed
Why are oriental woody scents off putting to me?SOTD Adlerblut
NYI vs. Mousse Illuminee?
>>18290254>NYI vs. Mousse Illuminee?different enough to buy both
>>18290254>trash VS garbageneither
>>18290013favorite frag that has a large sillage and long performance? something that really gets in your face, but is still pleasant (e.g. not something like T-Rex)i'd like to get something that's loud to stand out
>>18290285cope, seethe and dilateywnbaw
>>18290013If you had to pick one perfume to be your SOTD.AventusSauvageBDCGisada Ambasador
>>18290292>nyi, even the whole brand screams tranny>not homoChoose one.
>>18290288Sauvage elixir. I wear it to work because it lasts 12-15 hours or more
>>18290199I am still on my discovery journey but I literally cannot stop wearing Drakkar Noir. Its so perfect bros its a clean green fuck machine
>>18290302Out of those? I'd rather smell like Old Spice.
All you need
>>18290246kind of sounds like Baccarat Rouge 540. weird concentrated caramel medicinal cotton candy agressive shit
>>18290371I have no idea what it was. You could be right, but I can't say for sure it was caramel or something medicinal or cotton candy. I think it was vanilla, because I've smelled vanilla before, but I really can't describe the smell further
>>18290302When in doubt, always go for Sneed Aventus
>>18290302BDCSauvage would get grating to me and I've never smelled actual Amogus, but the clones have been hit or miss to me
I want to steal fragrances, because they are expensive and I don't want to waste hard earned money on them. Does anyone relate? Has anyone done it?
>>18290302Atreyus is easily the best of these.
>>18290394you'll want to try a social media platform with a more 'vibrant' userbase for advice on lifting fragrances
>>18290394Niche perfume stores usually have less advanced security measures (if they have any at all). Just pretend you're interested, sample a couple of frags and then grab a bunch and run out.
>>18290401Ok. Do you want to though? Not necessarily steal them yourself from the store, but freely obtain stolen fragrances.
>>18290403Less security doesn't mean no security. I could go to prison for life
>>18290405That sucks. You should move to California where you can do that sort of stuff legally.
>>18290411far too late for that bro. The local shops locked everything away and only leave out tester bottles with 2% juice remaining.
>>18290394I've heard of people scamming amazon on perfume returns (replace perfume with water or cheap clone). not sure if it actually works though
>>18290363Don't you enough blue fragrances tho?
Gourmands for women and blue fragrances for men. Why are mainstream perfume trends so trash right now?
SOTD Guerlain Vetiver ParfumAnyone else increase their number of sprays over time? I started out with 2 sprays, one on each side of the neck. Now I do 5 sprays. One on each side of the neck, one on the back of each of my hands, and then one on my shirt near my neckline.
>>18290436I do 8-12 sprays
>>18290432I don't really follow what women wear, but I feel like Blue isn't as trendy anymore. Obviously lots of people still wear them and I think Sauvage is still the most popular fragrance, but I feel like others get the most attention. One of my friends, who doesn't wear fragrance, just got a fragrance as a gift for his birthday from one of his more fashion conscious friends. He gave him the new Versace Eros Energy.
>>18290436How does the parfum compare to the edt? I tried the TF vetiver and im super interested in the guerlain
I think I've grown out of fougeres.
Has anyone tried pic related? Is it better than the EDP?
>>18290447The Parfum still smells similar to the EDT, but it is softer and a bit rounder. There is a juniper note in the Parfum which seems to lower some of the peaks of the opening citrus note of the EDT which are a bit too powerful for my liking. The dry down is similar though. I feel like the Parfum is probably a safer choice for most audiences than the EDT, but I there are definitely those that prefer the EDT.
>>18290398>>18290376Is Aventus really worth getting nowadays? I hear so much bad stuff about performance
>>18290447Parfum is sweeter with an ambery base, smokier, less citrusy and with some juniperI still prefer the EDT, it seems more nuanced to me and it's better in the summer. but the Parfum is not a bad flanker
>>18290447GV EDT is like Grey Vetiver's rugged uncle
>>18290432Aventusverse fragrances are taking over the market. Aventus is technically a chipre. I'd never wear either of those. For me? Leathers and gourmands.
>>18290476What's your favorite leather fragrance? Fahrenheit is the only proper leather I like. Most of them smell too stuffy.
>>18290476What's the best Aventus?
>>18290480NTA but the ones i own are:>Ombre Leather>Tuscan Leather>Cuir Ottoman>Colonia Intensa>Iron DukeCuir Ottoman and Colonia feel pretty light, especially the latter
>>18290302bdc is my sotd today
>>18290250>Why are oriental woody scents off putting to me?they painfully remind you were you come from and who you are>>18290288t-rex, sissy>>18290432refinement culture>>18290480also nta but resting knize ten is mandatory. honestly anons who haven't smelled it shouldn't even be allowed to post
Kiehls Musk arrived today, what an absolutely gorgeous scent. This is probably going to be my go-to for after showers or for just hanging out at home. Its so comfy and soft
>>18290523wtf i got my bottle today too
>>18290480Tuscan Leather
>>18290013sotd ambre noir
After lurking a couple of threads I take it you guys are hugely into cocks?
>>18290563I mean there are a few gay anons. But most are straight. Some sadly so, like that forever alone Mowgli poster who threw himself into developing a pseudo-identity by acting like a fragrance elitist. He can give a dozen different reasons why one fragrance is amazingly better than another but can't provide a single one about why a girl likes nuzzling her head on her boyfriend's chest.
I heard that guys wear it in the club to signal to other men that they're gay, is it true?
>>18290566it's true, they call it D-reamer in the cruising scene
>>18290566looks like something a gypsy tries to sell you at a parking lot
>>18290480Kenzo Homme EDP
>>18290584Where's the leather in that?
>look like ogre magi>favorite fragrances and flowery, powdery, and softit's over...
>>18290363>what's that smell? >Myself>What? >MyselfGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy
>>18290394Every time I go to Sephora or the Nordstroms where they have a fragrance wall, I stand in front of the fragrances and meticulously spray them all and smell each one on testers. Security guards always mad dog me. Every single time. My point here is that if you do it, do it quick.
>>18290394Have you tried not being poor? You're not allowed to post here if you're poor.
>>18290566Luis Miguel's signature scent. I doubt it.
>>18290621Who's that
>>18290617That's funny>>18290619That's inaccurate
>>18290619Fuck you man. I want a free life. Jesus said if you have 2 coats, give me the one. Fragrance dealers and manufacturers have way more than 2 fragrances

>>182906462/10
>>18290646only one i've tried is the guerlain vetiver, which I like, well the parfum version.
>>18290646Baraonda is such an amazing scent for Fall
>>18290480fahrenheit and guilty absolute is all you need. maybe anteus or pour lui if you want a weird rose leather that a gay rapist from another planet would wear. tuscan leather and ombre leather are just disappointing junk that redditors hype up. tf sucks always. go buy decants of all that crap and you will see. dumbasses with sunk cost fallacy are the ones lying to themselves and claiming tf is good.

Love Pasha de Cartier and i liked reformulated RL Safari if not for the performance, should i get a vintage YSL Jazz from around the mid 2000's? found a 80 buck deal for a sealed one.
>>18290566no, that would be Kouros
>>18290394Best way to do is spray some in your travel atomizer. Stealing whole bottles is not smart
>>18290768Okay, but won't they stop me?
>>18290644>give me the one>give>give>give>not takewhat will you tell jesus when he asks why you were underhanded and sneaky in the pursuit of worldly belongings? All that is dark will be brought to light.
Turkish barber asked me what I am wearing, it smells nice. It was pic related, I told him Bleu de Chanel
>>18290810Damn
>>18290748>Guerlain vetiver - solid if you like smelling like a businessman in his 40sA man in his 40s 40 years ago, fucking grandpa smell.
>>18290813This is every dupe buyer's dream. Pathetic
>>18290288As >>18290307 said, Sauvage Elixir is a good choice, A Whiff of Waffle Cone is a great gourmand choice for the winter. Etruscan Water is pretty loud as well.
>>18290405>I could go to prison for lifeWhere the fuck do you live? Saudi Arabia?>>18290515I still haven’t tested it fully yet, but the brief test I did of Knize Ten, it’s pretty fucking awful.

>>18290863Taking a bath with soap
Yesterday, I wore 1740 Marquis de Sade by Histoires de Parfums.Today, I will wear Molecule 01 by Escentric Molecules to the gym.Tomorrow, it's Total Nigger Death.
Redpill on Egoiste? I might be able to cop 80mls for $95 but it would be a blind buy. Im a bit wary of the cinnamon, i dont want to smell like a pie
>>18291020>i dont want to smell like a pieThen don't buy
>>18291020if you have to look for a deal don't blind buy. Egoiste should be available at smaller places like Sephora and Ulta. Just go there and smell. Though also check out Allure, the original, as well as Homme Sport.
>USPS tracking is downAnyone else? I need to obsessively check on my 'cants
>>18291057Sorry bro, le'shawn stole you're package.
>>18290056>muh anon has an undisputable pleasant fragrancekeep dousing yourself in your graveyards and cat piss notes fragrances you bum
>>18290107yes. its nice but the normal NE is a bit warmer smelling which i like, also got mine on discount
>>18291173Yeah I might get NE once my bottle of Parfum runs out, I find it has a better drydownOne of the best TFs for sure
What fragrance smells like hatred?
>>18291247Rien (I/II)
>>18291247Any Arab dupe, because it's only bought by people that hate themselves
I tried dozens of amber tobacco frags up to Blonde Amber and always come back to this one. Probably the best 50 USD/EUR you can spend in this genre.
>>18291277TF Tobacco Oud is my favorite tobacco-forward fragrance. Unfortunately it's being discontinued by Estee Lauder (like Plum Japonois) in favor of all the recent TF slop.
>>18291285Try Rhinoceros. The tobacco note is the longest lasting I've ever encountered, and it has oud as well.
this is the perfect progression of aventus. the oakmoss and patchouli in the base are heavenly. coomermutt should be shilling this 24/7.
any thoughts on this? Or on Chloé Nomade EDP?
>>18291288any noticeable difference between this and nishane X?
>>18291020it's good, but not 100$ blind buy good. if you want to blind buy a dandy oriental, buy a Jaipur Homme or something
>>18290863Sent of Chan 4 Sar
Kamalasisters, our response?
Do UK retailers (selfridges, harvey nichols, harrods, frasers) do black friday discounts? If so, what to expect?
Sometimes I tell zoomies that when they see "tobacco" listed as a note on fragrantica that it means the fragrance smells like cigarette smoke so they avoid wearing it
>>18291415Sometimes I tell alphies that I have a real skibidi toilet in my van. Then, when they go to get inside, I quickly drive away and call the police to report an attempted carjacking
how many old school fougeres is too many, I'm about to buy a shit ton of them
>>18291453one is too many, that shit smells like asscrack and oregano
>>18291454post sotd
Just a reminder that this is all you need.
>>18291169Oh it's good let me be clear with that but you cannot go around fagging up saying everyone uses generic shit when he himself is using one of the most generic profiles since 10 years ago, fuck off faggot
>>18291415Tobacco did smell chalky and smoky in the manly days, everyone loved it in vintage Cool Water although it was quite subdued
How many frags do you buy a month?
>>18291480After extensive sampling, I'm going to buy maybe 10 and that's it, because I'm not a consoomer.
>>18291482What ten?
>>18291482>10 frags>I'm not a consoomerSure thing kiddo
>>18291486Terre d'Hermes, Dior Homme Intense, Reflection Man, Green Irish Tweed, Naxos, Montabaco Intensivo and maybe a couple more
Which of these carts would you buy assuming they were priced equally?>Agua Brava>Cerutti 1881>Lalique Lion>Azzaro Pour Homme>4711>Lapidus Pour Homme>Encre Noire>One Man Show Oud Edition>Quorum>Yatagan>Aramis>Versace L'homme>Zinoor>Guerlain Oud Essentiel>Guerlain Vetiver EDT>Guerlain Habit Rouge>Guerlain L'instant

>>18291778Love it, I almost use it as a signature scent.
>>18291406there's this pattern in all industries/hobbies/interests where the more intimately knowledgeable you are on something, the more right-wing you are about that subjectin addition to our disdain for IFRA/EU banning ingredients being overtly right wing, there's the way people with a hobbie are no-bullshit on the topic and know what qualities separate the good from the badmeanwhile if you're on the outside looking in, you have a bitchmade wishy-washy attitude, or maybe outright dismissive of the whole thingthink of how betas who hate sports fans call it "sportball"if anybody here watched that commie Future Proof youtube video about perfumes, you know what I'm talking about

Remember no matter what you wear, the douche with YSL Y is going to mog you.Stop spending all your money on obscure BS, invest in LV imagination
>>18292342I'm a war criminal and I wear Hacivat. Nobody mogs me.
for those of you who order on Notino, or other european sites, do you know of any companies that offer big simple sample vials at very affordable prices, like pic related? usually small sizes are not convenient at all, but it's because of the bottle.
It's peak spooky season. It's time to break out the TIMS.
YSL Y or prada lhomme
>>18292395But why?
>>18292401My life is empty and I must buy things to cope

>Eau d'Orange Verte>Eau D'Hermes>EquipageThoughts on these Hermes fragrances?
>>18292723Had them all, absolutely vile stuff. Had to give them away for free because it's impossible to sell that garbage.
>>18292342>invest in LV imaginationWhy not any other LV like Ombre nomade, Afternoon swim, Meteore, etc etc etc?
>>18292725Imagination, Afternoon Swim and Meteore are well made citric freshies that will please everyone. Ombre Nomade is a heavy rose oud that only works on certain occasions unless you're Arab. It's also been cloned to the point that it's not worth buying or even wearing unless you want to smell like every Talahon on the street
>>18292741Thanks. Have you tried L'immensite, On the beach, Orage and Pacific chill?Correct me if I'm wrong but LV seems to specialize in light citrus fragrances right? I mean they churn out so many. So which is the best one? And do they actually perform very well, which at that price should be a given?
>>18292743don't listen to the coomer kurd, he's only shilling the vilest trash. LV frags are uninspired turds selling at unreasonable prices, only praised by people who cope because they have buyers remorse. their performance is not much better than any other 70€ freshie. if you REALLY want the imagination dna, zara sells a dupe for like 20€

any smoky fragrances that don't have leather / cigar notes? i like the smell of bushfires
>>18292836stirling soap texas on fire, beaufort tonnerre, demeter fireplace
>>18292841thanks. the concept behind that tonnerre is amusing
>>18292845What's less amusing is having to put up with the stench
>>18292836Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace Eau de Toilette
>>18292836Depending on how light you want the smoke, A Whiff of Waffle Cone for something even sweeter than By The Fireplace. >>18292845>>18292848Very limited uses but it’s fucking great when you find an appropriate occasion. (Like Halloween)
>>18292836>>18292944A City On Fire would be a better smoky fragrance than AWoWC by IA. You could also look at Firewater.
Does anyone know if Fougere d'Argent is discontinued? I asked on TF customer website and the rep "couldn't confirm or deny" is this some bullshit to make me want to go out and buy the last bottle available at the shop?
>>18292845Tonnerre is fucking amazing, not nearly as outrageous as online imbeicles make it out to be
>>18292985unfortunately not everyone can have good taste. sotd tonnerre
>>18292995True, this general is a testament to it.It's just the same 5 retarded fucking fragrances being discussed over and over again. (No SOTD because I'm taking a break for a week or two due to weakened olfactory sense, would have probably opted for Iron Duke or Marquis de Sade otherwise)
>>18292985It's not outrageous, it's just bad. Outrageously bad.
>>18292235How about something that doesn’t smell like a geriatric rotting in an asylum?

>>18292985>>18292995It’s good, I still prefer Iron Duke because it’s more wearable. And I do think it’s outrageous, that doesn’t mean it’s bad though, I full bottled it. >>18293116Render unto the butthurt what is bad, render unto Beaufort and what is patrician.
>>18293039polo green encre noirfahrenheitnothing else is as good as these. i have yatagan in the mail, maybe that will be as good.
>>18292723Eau d'Orange Vert is great. One of my favourite designer takes on an eau de cologne, the way they've managed to give make it a bit dark amd brooding is amazing.Performs like an EDC though. Maybe a little better than a 4711 or something, but not long lasting for sure
>>18293169>yataganA 4/10 on a good day. On the other hand, you like Encre Noire which is a 0/10, so you're looking forward to a good time.
>>18291514Top>>18291966Seethe fag>>18292723Orange Verte is top tier but it's a Grey Flannel without the florals, it's good but you can get more for less. The soap and shower set is one of the best tho.Equipage is a classic, can't recall Eau de Hermes>>18293061Chant-chad right there, the king of chypres. Yatagan is hard as hell to find around here so i am still missing out.
Went to another retailer to check shit out:Givenchy Gentleman reformulated is fucking good, in simple it's like a smoky Aramis but goes to different places, the rose comes as very green due to being in the middle of the citruses, honey is kinda sweet and not pissy, powdery patchouli leather and the dry woods give a very smoky tone like having a slight feint of tobacco smoke on your skin, despite being modern the oakmoss is very apparent like 00's-era Aramis. Great stuff, nothing like the fuckboy twink smell that is the iris remake of Gentleman.Chanel's old line is underrated even when reformulated, Pour Monsieur is a very very crisp and humid take on the 50's and 60's tart citric juices with soft aromatics, Anteaus is a more smoky rosy take on the aldehydic Kouros school but without the big contrast of clean and dirty, having a very slightly animalic leather instead of the civet pissy ghost of the YSL juice. Egoiste is a sweet floral tobacco scent in which i couldn't find the animalic drydown some dislike but i also couldn't smell the woody notes, still pretty classy. Platinum is a massively crisp initial blast, one of the best with soft citruses and cut grass greenness, but drydown's rather disappointing for me because i know Eau de Grey Flannel very well and it smells like cheap wood with very synthetic citrus, except Eau doesn't have the gorgeous blast from PE. Was too nose blind to try Allure Homme. Polge was a master.Bottle caps all suck major ass have to say.D&G sucks in terms of performance but their concept until the mid 10's was pretty interesting, a soft man with strong quality ingredients.Tumi frags are pretty good and compliment magnets, generic as fuck but don't smell overly synthetic and have a bit more depth than usual for contemporary stuff. Bottles are very nice, caps in particular, but the performance do not reflect their retarded names: Extrait de parfums. Still 6 hours at minimum, performed the same as G-chy's Gentleman.
Valentino BIR newer batches have way less violet leaf note than before, making it even more generic. Traveler's bottle is still classy as fuck.Narciso Rodriguez stuff is now being phased to the back of the shelves for some reason, testers are hidden and the stuff for men is somewhat unpopular due to the heavy rose notes or being generic. Long gone are the days of the mineral fougere OG For Men, the woman stuff is still sold OK but i was told it's always from the same clients.Ferragamo Leather line smells different in every store.Montblanc Legend EDP has been superior to A&F Fierce since the former's inceptionCK One Essence is a generic as hell release but features a very old school accord: Dry earthy petitgrain. Worth a sniff, very slight dry musk too, much more male leaning than regular One.Azzaro The Most Wanted Intense is a confusing name for a confusing series of frags, it is a confusing scent if you somewhat make sense of what those series are supposed to be. It's a boozy aromatic freshy for men, very slightly sweet but not like others from these series, generic as fuck too but well made like the Tumi's and honestly wouldn't be out of place in the early 10's or late-00's. Italian citrus with lavender, geranium, mossy wood and the undertone of booze without being the common whiff of alcohol. Along with Wanted Tonic this is the most usable of all those revolver bottles.Marc Jacobs Perfect Daisy EDT is probably the very best ozonic freshy for women around, very clean transparent green. Sniffed the hell out of it, as good as the original Daisy which i find great too for young girls.Lancome is pretty good too but for more bitchy stronger women, Poeme is damn good but i don't recall its performance. O is almost as good but feels like it needs a stronger base, oakmoss would do wonders there with its aromatic citrus bomb. Was too nose blind for Tresor and La Vie est Belle, Poeme got me good.

hello /frag/nearly a hundred threads later I'm back to this threadI know it's silly to ask but has anything interesting happened in this time?SOTD: quorum silver
>>18293349Not much.Still the same low IQ autist baking the breads. Still the same German guy sexposting.

I dislike them, OG For Men was a triumph even if heavily reformulated, vintage was probably one of the best in the 00's.
>>18293371There's no German in this thread. There is kurdish guy.
I bought this hand soap and it smells good. I want a fragrance that smells like this. Please help
>>18293534>Bergamot, Violet and WoodThe DNA of manly men, problem is white violet can mean a lot of things and doesn't specify if it is the note of the flower or the leaf, also amber wood is quite generic too, it implies a warmness but not what type of wood.You have to be more specific with how it smells

>Oud Wood>Noir Extreme Parfum>Bois Imperial>Kenzo Homme EDP>Dior Homme IntenseCould you recommend something else based on what I already have? I've been looking for the perfect frag for ages but I don't think I'll ever find it, there are some memes like Bal d'Afrique and Santal 33 I haven't tried yet but I'm wondering if I should just keep these and stop buying new frags altogether
>>18293822>Santal 33Just get Kenzo Home EDT Intense
>>18293651>>18293654it smells more like pear to me. But I agree with the overall greenness of the scent. I really like the scent. It feels like a great fragrance to wear in warm or hot weather. It has the scent of walking in to a garden or greenhouse, like herbs and fruit rather than flower. My main complaint with H24 is that great fresh green scent only lasts like an hour or hour and a half for me.
>>18293825It's mediocre, EDP is better as far as aquatics go. Haven't tried the more "realistic" ones like Megamare or Acqua di Sale but I don't know if they're worth it anyway.
>>18293822You have a good selection as is. I wouldn't say not buy any new fragrances, but I would be choosier and only pick up a new fragrance if you really, really enjoy it. I would recommend looking at Guerlain Vetiver, both EDT and EDP, as well as Guerlain Heritage. While more expensive than before, both are still reasonably priced given the quality of the fragrances and the reputation of the house.
>>18293844I'll take a look at those, thanks.>be choosier and only pick up a new fragrance if you really, really enjoy itThat's the issue, nothing I try is THAT good, and I've sampled a lot of stuff.
>>18293856>That's the issue, nothing I try is THAT good, and I've sampled a lot of stuff.meh I wouldn't spend the money then. If you pick something up you simply kind of like then you might be chasing that feeling of getting something new, which is just fleeting, rather than the actual experience of wearing the fragrance. I wouldn't get a fragrance unless I liked it enough so even when I am putting it on months and months or even a year or two later it still feels really nice and special to wear it.
>>18293867You're right, I'll stop wasting money on samples, it's not worth it.
>>18293856well the thing is that sampling fragrances on paper vs testing it on skin is very different. people usually only exeprience the opening, and even then your skin might react differently.but if you're looking to expland, maybe look into a rotation or be more specific in the use case of the perfume (i.e. office, date night, spring vs fall, etc.)
>>18293871Oh no I meant ordering samples and trying them out on skin a few times. I don't trust paper sampling.I got all use cases covered I think, at this point it's just about enjoying scents, but to be honest I can't even really recall the last frag I sampled that really impressed me.
>>18293874ah in that case, save your money. i rarely buy samples, but im lucky enough to have niche perfume stores to try stuff for free.you have a list of what you've tried? curious to see what you've tried up to now
>>18293878>you have a list of what you've triedLoads of stuff honestly. As I said above there's some well known frags I still haven't tried but I got most of the classics already, and some other lesser-known things
>>18293166I didn't cop ID when I had the chance but the more I've gone through my sample, the more it's grown on me.. I'd certainly be on the lookout for it.
i want to blind buy some frags.thinking of copping Guerlain Vetiver EDT and Chopard Oud Malaki.should i pull the trigger?
>>18293856>I've sampled a lot of stuff.how much? people who haven't sampled 4 digits shouldn't be allowed to post itt
Just got into mixing Armani Code EDP and Burberry Touch EDT on days out - I've never received more compliments in my life. 2 spritz Armani on wrists and rub together;4 spritz Armani on neck, 2 spritz Burberry over it.This shit works wonders.
>>18293902>Guerlain Vetiver EDTThis will get you right, trust
>>18293902Guerlain vetiver is nice but it's also like a feminine women's frag. If you're imagining encre noire or even tdh you will be disappointed.

>>18293902blind buying is the only way to live
>>18293039Armaf CDNIM LE ParfumBDC ParfumDior Sauvage ODT
>>18293902Don't blind buy. I haven't tried the other one, but I have tried Guerlain Vetiver EDT. It has a very sharp opening citrus note, and Vetiver itself is hit or miss for a lot of people. I would try both the Vetiver EDT and the EDP. While I thought the EDT was ok I really did like the EDP and bought that. It has a much softer and rounder scent profile. But I do think that having a Vetiver-featuring scent is good for a collection.
