The Fragrance Groups 101 chart
The Fragrance Flowchart for Beginners
I honestly think Hacivat is better than aventus.
>>18320275This chart needs to get updated with more current and maybe niche selections. I'm gonna work on this. I know black is discontinued. Egoiste is watered down. Eau Sauvage is great but not a modern starting point. Dior Homme has been replaced. Encre Noir is not beginner friendly. Mugler Cologne is MIA and so it the weaker replacement. Ormonde man EdP was replaced by Parfum. Pure Havane is Rip. Le Male is not best choice for a sweet oriental. Some of these recommendation are outdated overall, and I think a lot of the current recommendations on this board are better overall. I don't think I've never seen anyone recommend Kiehl's original musk.
>SOTD: One Man Show
>>18320283Not for me. I like Aventus because of it's bright fruitiness and ambergris musky drydown. Hacivat have some plastic woods in it reminding me that piercing shit in Baccarat Rouge.
>>18320271>identical onesthanks>changing top notes or adding spices into the base which i don't think most people likethis is exactly what I was talking about initially. 3/4 the same to me is "vaguely reminds me of", and some fragrances that are praised as dupes of X are something completely different for me in most of the cases
>>18320285good luck, anon
I want an oud, I want it stinky and I don't want to pay too much. What do I do?
>>18320285Encre noire was one of the first perfumes I bought, I didn't find it all that intimidating.
>>18320285>Eau Sauvage is great but not a modern starting point.and that's a good thing>Some of these recommendation are outdated overalland that's a good thing>I don't think I've never seen anyone recommend Kiehl's original musk.i have in the past, it's one of the best cheap musk scents that doesn't try to be all clean and faggy. quite similar to MKK but at like 1/5th of the pricestill, good luck with it>>18320303dehn el oud shaheen or dhanal oudh jurra
Sotd: Lomani Pour Homme>>18320288>One Man ShowBased
>>18320297>3/4 the same to me is "vaguely reminds me of"I agree, i also get flanked by stuff like that, i think there's many great dupes but not nearly identical (7/8?), yet some of the most praised stuff is vaguely similar at most.Rasasi Hawas is called the great Invictus Aqua/Legend Spirit dupe and to me it smells quite different, like comparing Creed Himalaya to Cool Water because half the arochemicals are the same. Hawas is a tad spicy woody somewhat oriental base, the citruses are somewhat different too, we might as well just say it is inspired rather than trying to clone it. Loads of dupes for L'Immensite and Tygar and they all smell different, can't even know what does the originals smell like.>something completely different for me in most of the casesAromachemicals and temperature are at play too, calone depending on the quality or chemical "frequency" if we want to be Turin-esque specifc can give different smells, i recall a dupe of L'Immensite, i think it was The Immencity, smelled like old egg whites so bad while another dupe, Immortal, smelled like synthetic marine grapefruit, Turathi Blue smelled like a realistic citrus but lacto-fishy, like an unwashed penis smeared in grapefruit rind and juice, and supposedly they are all trying to copy the same ingredient used in both perfumes made by Cavallier. Best grapefruit i smelled was Light Blue Forever and some dupe from Bharara i don't recall the name but wasn't copying the DNA of the D&G.I use Tygar/Immensite as examples because i've never smelled them and right now it's a shit show trying to clone one of them right, pretty expensive bottles so no one is buying the original either.>>18320303Lattafa's ouds, i will buy a bottle soon as a joke so stay tuned around Monday or next day to see what was it, it's not the worse i've smelled which was a rectal mucus/intestine-tier oud but this one is full-on horse shit oud with the saddle besides you giving you a whiff of heavy duty leather.
>>18320316I'm a stenchboy I need my perfume poopy
>>18320285Good luck bud>not a modern starting pointFuck modernity desu>Encre Noir is not beginner friendlyWhy not? cheap and not that normal to smell, if anything it's a perfect beginner's take on trying to act cool and not buy something mainstream, it's a baby's first alternative bottle. The rest i agree, although it's a great chart and i wouldn't change much. I might try one about very common scents because some poorfags or remote people might not be able to get, say, any Serge Lutens, Fred Malle or Tauer.
Equipage vs NYI?
>>18320317That basedboi need Drakkar Noir to raise Testlevels.
>>18320285nobody but the worst people still care about this god forgotten shithole anyway
>>18320354NYI
What you guys think of paco rabanne phantom ?
>>18320354NYI. Equipage is gross
Frag for this feel?
Why nobody talks about etat libre dorange? It's a nice house
>>18320317love me an obscure reference to the Canadian Samurai sword unpacker
all you need
>>18320283More pungent Aventusy copy perfume, with lower quality and more patchouli woodsy synthetic touch,Aventus is way better and elegant than Hacivat and more unique in my opinion.
>>18320354>NYI
>>18320285Kiehl’s Musk is not something you recommend for the same reason you would recommend Dior Homme or Nautica Voyage. It’s suggested as a reference musk to understand what musk is. I have Kiehl’s and its an amazing fragrance but it’s very soft and not something I would ever wear out. It shines as cozy night in fragrance. Something you wear after a shower after a long day when you just want to put your feet up and feel clean and comfortable, or something you wear on a rainy Saturday morning when your plan for the day is just to recharge. I wouldn’t take it off the list, but if you did, what would your reference musk be? Jovan, Aqua Velva, and all the other entry musks just aren’t as good as Kiehls.
>tfw decants of ganymede, bois imperiale, and aventus are stuck in postal purgatory because the mail workers are on strike
What are some generic attractive designer frags with genuinely great performance?looking for something sweet, attractive and comfy for this winter. Usual go to is Noir extreme parfum, looking to switch things up a bit, but something in the same vein would be nice
>>18320499Jeremy always recommends One Million, Sauvage, and Ultra Male for long lasting fragrances
>>18320502Not a fan of sauvage's scent profile, I prefer gourmands or sweet fresh spicy frags
>>18320499L'homme ideal EDP
>>18320499What about black orchid by TF?
>>18320521I find it pretty feminine>>18320520I'll try it out
>>18320497serves you right for ordering an av*ntus decant desu>>18320499sauvage elixir
>>18320466^it's a good, accessible starting point for noselets. i own it in body lotion form and wear it after a night time shower or bath. but if i were reccing a musk, it would be in the clean/laundry/floral direction.
>>18320499i like all the spicebombs desu. good performance. ive never tried the JPG myself but i hear they last quite long. could also go with a Tobacco Vanille
>>18320528Decants are the optimal way to consooom fragrances. There’s literally no point in owning dozens of 50-100ml bottles as a collector/sampler. You should be buying decants and as you finish them consider buying full presentations.

>PDM Carlisle>PDM Herod>Tom Ford Tuscan Leather>Tom Ford Noir de Noir>Creed Green Irish Tweed>Kilian Angel’s share>Armani Stronger with You Absolutelyopinions? and which 2 should I buy first
*makes pussies and bussies moist*
>>18320560Tuscan Leather for sure. Spring for the Intense if you can.
>>18320565hows the performance of the Tuscan really?
>>18320572I was spraying TL Intense my leather jacket for most of this autumn (too rainy for it now) and it would last easily a week on the leather and I would still catch whiffs of it with normal wear. I haven't worn it on skin yet because I only have 5ml but I would imagine the longevity is there.
>>18320576should I buy the intense? heard the intense is a bit “lighter” than the original but idk
>>18320581I haven't tried the original, but comparing notes on fragrantica it looks like intense adds woody notes to the middle and animalics to the base. I find those more preferable which is why I went with the Intense rather than the regular for my sample.
>>18320517Not memingFRAGRANCE WORLD STAR MEN NEBULA - It's a clone of Mugler Pure Malt (RIP)(it's only $23 on fragrancebuy, if I'm wrong it's not a hard hit. I'm not wrong though.)>gourmand>sweet>spicy freshhttps://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Pierre-Guillaume-Paris/Cadjmere-18-3964.htmlIt smells like Cashmere, but the cashmere accord is built out of vanilla and a whole lot of other sweet and spicy notes.

Just smelled Chanel No. 5 for the first time today. Smells a little like neutered Kouros

>can only buy Knize Ten directly from Paris and it's $130 for 50mlworth? I'm also looking at grabbing Yatagan. Would it be redundant to own both?
>>18320661Knize Ten is vile, smells nothing like Yatagan
>>18320656please dont reproduce and stop posting in this general mohammad

>>18320719>hoverhand for 5 seconds before committing wow you really hate to see it
>>18320283I agree, the fruitiness of Aventus kills it for me, it gives a immature vibe. The pineapple in hacivat burns off relatively fast 30m-2hr. The combo of patchouli and moss is masculine and inspires confidence. The only thing I don't like is the use of synthetics, but I would say Aventus smells more synthetic than hacivat. I ordered a decant of X, going to see how it is. I also have a bottle of Loewe Esencia EDP on the way, curious to see how it smells. Hopefully it's not a disappointment.
>>18320660Whys it better? Should I sample a vintage. I sold my nyi because a spicy note in it bothered me. I can't deny it's a great fragrance though.
>>18320719>God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruity and zesty."
Found a bottle of TL intense for $50 cheaper than discounters bros do I do it? $350cad is a lot for 50ml...
newbie here, just bought this. 1 spray was enought, its the best cologne I ever boughtthank you guys

The notes are all the ones that I enjoy, but is the scent as a whole any good?
>>18320867Enjoy, that’s my daily driver for long days. Fantastic fragrance, usable 24/7/365. Great pick for your first one

seriously considering mainlining this for winter bros

I wore my sample of Ganymede today. As much as I shill for vintage Guerlain vetiver, caron pour un homme and Fahrenheit, ganymede is an awesome fragrance. I wish it was not so expensive.

>>18320381Trash. Also the bottle is so damn ugly.
>>18320995Damn, she's mind blowingly hot
>>18320419They haven’t released anything of note since GitS in 2021, so they’re not particularly on people mind often. They still get mentioned occasionally for their big name stuff like Rien II, Fat Electrician, etc. but it’s not an every day thing.
>>18320416Caron Yatagan
>>18320981Flame is better.
>>18321014better in winter?I dunno bro, that mint and vanilla in the cold is really doing it for me
