>Literally smells like a brand new leather jacket
A shitty or overprocessed one most likely, an old timey real processed jacket smells like Fahrenheit minus the herbals and patchouli, a real leather one smells like Knize Ten.
I find sad most people haven't sniffed real leather, they think a car seat cleaned with leather conditioner and some femenine florals is what a tanned piece of hide is all about.

To my Drakkar Noir bros, Dakar is really damn good but there's another alternative that i can vouch for: Belcam's Classic Match Drakar Replica, it's a bit more mossy than Dakar to the point it becomes camphourous, like really fancy menthol foot powder.
Costs around the same as Dakar but 75ml, as far as i know it's U.S. & Canada only. Good american dupe brand, only one that wasn't up to scratch was the Polo Blue one.

>Montblanc Starwalker, a woody take on Versace Eau Fraiche
I was going to poke fun at you but i will be serious about it: Why do you think so?
Eau Fraiche has only one thing going for it and it's the woods, it's one of the most woody freshies out there, literally smells like pencil shavings in the opening if not macerated enough. The drydown is pure woody freshness, how is Starwalker, a fruity freshie with herb undertones and a powdery woody drydown a woodsy take on it?
I get being a take of it, they are somewhat similar, Starwalker is too feminine leaning but it goes away after the hour to reveal the classy drydown, but i don't know man, Eau Fraiche is all base notes and shitty top notes that the arabs magically fixed, particularly Armaf with the Aura Fresh release.

Thanks bro, here's another one you might like if you see it

in search of a vanilla scent, was recommended and able to sample tobacco vanille and eau des beaux. the sales assistant at the l'occitane shop didn't even suggest the latter when I asked for vanilla, and indeed it was not what I expected.
tobacco vanille on the other hand smells like pure vanilla to me. very nice, but probably not what I was going for. couldn't sample by the fireplace or divine vanilla.
got suggested pdm love don't be shy and althair, too. these also had a very prominent vanilla.
overall I guess I'm looking for something that is more like liquor, or something that has a warming aura to it. essentially without a citrus component
>>
Look, i know it's trendy to make fun of indians, however fragrance is actually essential for us so we dispel stereotypes. You on the other hand are an eternal consoomer, maybe if you didnt buy so much shit in your life your govts wont be forced to accept so many immigrants. Think about that

Best vanilla i've ever tried is from an american niche house called Sand + Fog, White Vanilla, pure lactonic vanilla with a very faint hint of orange candy.
>tobacco vanille on the other hand smells like pure vanilla to me
Smells like spiced vanilla powder of it, it's good but there's better vanillas out there.
>that is more like liquor
Dior perverted Fahrenheit in their Le Parfum version, rum with a heavy vanilla base note and some violet leaf to make it smell ozonic. It fucking sucks if you see it under the glass of the old classic but it might be interesting enough for you.

>>18317915
Not from a country that accepts immigrants and i have met actual pajeets in stores: They are rude, they stink, they do not know what they are selling, to make this on-topic they do not use perfume other than Axe which makes them smell like using a poorfag version of Kouros because they project a clean scent but you can also sniff their week-old sweaty pants and old piss, they do not assimilate to their context, they do not clean their work environment and they do not wash their hands.

I do believe they have the potential to be decent people but the fact is the ones who get out of India are ambitious but that same trait makes them insensitive towards people, almost like sociopaths if it wasn't for the fact they get mad when called out. I don't doubt for a second i can meet a bunch of cool guys from there one hour after getting out of the airport in Calcuta but the fact is they are scumbags outside. That's how it is buddy
>fragrance is actually essential for us
For the immigrants it isn't, their god is money with the minimum effort possible. Even the arabs who eat as much spices as them take a bath often and smell like Christmas, indians smell like a wet cat and if their fragrance was a cumin attar.

Then you are having a big laff as these threads always procure good frags at reasonable prices like Encre Noire, Drakkar Noir, Montblanc, Cool Water and so on. I suggest you try Drakkar, it's dry and spicy enough to camouflage your natural oily warm spicy fecal musk as long as you overspray

Bought during Covid, nothing more than $1/ml for vintage and $0.5/ml modern. All new in box. My collection since has expanded. But Guerlain vetiver and Caron pour un homme remain my favorites. Third favorite would probably be Fahrenheit. But I’ve been wearing a lot of eau de baux lately. Which is another good vanilla, since I remember reading another anon asking about vanilla frags.

>Guerlain vetiver and Caron pour un homme remain my favorites
I cannot find Caron, let alone vintage, but Vetiver i found several and honestly vintage is excellent, current formulations smell identical at first but they drydown differently despite having the same notes. Have a 2008 i think (gray box), will look into buying other tall bottles from the era but i keep grabbing vintage YSL and other stuff. My goal is vintage Cool Water.
I also recommend L'Homme Ideal Intense, one of the best cardamoms out there.
>Fahrenheit
That's my second choice but it's tough to find vintage ones for decent prices, i rely on dupes but arabs aren't very good cloning ozonic notes or violet leaf in general. Aqua is probably my most favorite and i think i rate it higher than EDT, shame it was discontinued so soon and all its dupes too like Zegna. Current formulation of EDT i think is very good but very patchouli-heavy rather than leather or tea, from 2011 to 2019 it was piss poor to make people buy the flankers.

>>18318023
Calone, notorious for smelling differently depending on the person, Bvlgari smells sulfurous to some, i think it's funky but not eggy like Profondo or Eau de Parfum are.
>>18318025
>profondo is just slightly blue acqua di gio
Profondo is a different thing altogether in my opinion, not just "slightly", the lime got replaced with full-on bergamot, much more woody and the calone is ramped up, also moss got erased too but same can be said about modern reformulations of AdG.
Light Blue Intense i cannot smell the egg but it sure doesn't last very long, sadly.

I have yatagan. I like that one too. Aramis I’ve tried but my collection is large and it wasn’t enough for me to want it. Another frag in a similar realm is polo green, the vintage formulation uses lots of natural essential oils. It’s great during Christmas.

Caron use to be very easy to find for very cheap on eBay. I haven’t checked it in a while. The very old one like pic related is something special. The other vintage is also a step up from the current formulation, but the current formulation is great too. I have a 750ml bottle I use for curtains and linens. The ideal line from Guerlain is probably the only masculine I don’t have. I tried the original but it wasn’t a need for me. And it was already at the time my collection was growing too large. I have tried any of the Fahrenheit flankers but would like to if given the chance. My Fahrenheit is a vintage formulation. It is better than what is available today. But with all these fragrances that I have vintage formulations of, eben though they’re better, the current formulations are better than most fragrances made today.

Alright just ordered a full bottle of Bois Imperial. For my free samples I chose Cedrat Boise Intense and Au Coeur du Desert. How'd I do?

1) Initio Rehab for a high quality, overpriced ,designer-style niche, warm smooth bright vanilla. Easy to wear in any situation
2) Guerlain Bosca Vanilla Forta is a lesser known excellent frag of woods, vanilla, and mandarie-esque citrus up top. It's really amazing actually because Guerlain does amazing vanilla; speaking of which..
3) Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille is from their art and material line so it's gonna be fucking expensive, but it's the cleanest vanilla scent you can get on planet earth at this point (leans feminine.)
4) PdM Pegasus is a metallic almond with a heavy vanilla backings (again overpriced so only at discounters)
5) Pour un homme de Caron - Lavender Vanilla blast to the face. I have the parfum which dials down the coriander note. Vanilla blast.

I enjoy wearing le male after I take a shower and put on my pajamas. I know people wear it out but the powdery smell is perfect for being comfy then going to bed.

Problem is performance and nuances, the latter is for the user but the former is an epidemic. Vintage is great but i only reserve their use in special occasions, for daily i use arab dupes and oils because current shit doesn't do it.
Some exceptions, i found Bentley stuff to be very good for the price.

>>18318073
>How'd I do?
I think they are great picks, the only complain i might have is retarded, Au Coeur du Desert doesn't smell like the desert, it smells like an arab campfire which is excellent but not the fucking desert, Tauer fraud.

NTA but i think it does away with the booze aspect, i suspect because of arabs, also seems too sweet.
The closest i've smelled is something called Fire Your Desire by dupe brand Paris Corner, which is a subset of a bigger brand but i don't recall which one, Lattafa already has Maison Alhambra so i don't think it's that one.
I think it's that one, there's a shitload of Angel's Share dupes i forget which is which, perhaps Angel by Kismet was the winner but i don't remember, it's a lady's fragrance hence why i somewhat ignored it.

>cloned to the point where nobody can tell if you're wearing the original
This is a good thing, unironically, only fags care about someone smelling your brand. But yeah you are right, good stuff is condemned to one of your points. The worst is out of production and with no clones around.

Quite a few Tom Ford fragnances don't really have good alternatives. Black Orchid for example which I love.

I am however interested in hearing what you think are more interesting alternatives. Because I also don't like how expensive Tom Ford is.

>>18317900
You should find a place that has by the fireplace.

>>18317977
By the fireplace which I mentioned I only wear during winter and fall. Also "Hyde" by Hiram Green.

>>18317614
I never tried, I should get a sample. Is the bottle really as good looking as in the images?

SOTD: used a sample of Bohoboco Magic Mushroom, a very strange mossy aquatic herbal thing. I kinda love it. Would be a fun signature scent, it is strange but wearable and pleasant. I'm worried that people might smell the cannabis note, I'm not a cannabis guy, but I barely notice it myself and would have noticed it if it wasn't pointed out to me. I'm getting a full bottle of this.

You a girl?
Also a friend said Yuqawam Femme was a Black Orchid dupe, haven't smelled it but the Tobacco Vanilla one was pretty decent considering the reformulation of the TF

I'm not a girl, I still wear Black Orchid. I feel it is very unisex despite being advertised for women. It is a bit dark and sexy, so it requires a man who is able to carry himself with those kinds of suggestions. If you want a female flanker then Velvet Orchid is more feminine. Black Orchid is my go-to party and event scent. I never tried Yuqawam Femme. I keep buying bottle after bottle, it is one of my favourites. I bit too much for the office though, but I have worn it to the office as well.

Not really but okay buddy

You gay bro? but still i can say Yaqawam Homme was decent and i made a mistake, i meant Tuscan Leather rather than Tobacco Vanilla, there's a tobacco one which is good but it wasn't it.
Tried those two (and Hawas, Daarei) but the one i keep searching, Ambergris Showers, is elusive. Supposedly a take on Anthracite/Narciso Rodriguez.

>>18318335
I'm not gay. But I guess it can be a little flamboyant which I like and don't mind. I also like Joop Homme which is even more flamboyant. I'm a flashy guy, but not a faggot. I like tobacco vanilla and vanilla fatale. I feel they are harder to wear though than Black Orchid.

So yaqawam have a range of fragnances that are Tom Ford clones or just happen to be a house that has fragnances in a similar vein? I don't think I tried anything from them.

if my family get me that new Sauvage flanker for xmas I'll pour it down their throats

It's a line from Rasasi, so arab dupes. It did look like Tom Ford specific, according to Fragrantica it's: Homme (TF Tuscan Leather), Femme (TF Black Orchid), Jasmine Wisp (Terenzi Kirke), Ambergris Showers (Meme Paris Irish Leather), Tobacco Blaze (SHL777 Soleil de Jeddah) and Orchid Prairie (Mugler Alien Oud)
Surprised to see Anthracite was released after Ambergris Showers, didn't expect that but Narciso was 2007 IIRC. Rasasi supposedly makes the best Creed dupes so probably they are good, i recall Homme being pretty close but the amber notes weren't very close.
