I hate the opening on Avignon but after a few minutes it just smells the same as Kyoto except lasts way longer

>>18352043
buy the Tauer

>>18352042
>how different are the two TdH frags?
think laddm (tdh edt) vs acdd (tdh parfum). sharpness/spiciness is eliminated from the opening and the best part of the fragrance remains. parfum (like acdd) is more wearable, but sometimes you just feel like the original.

You need to decide what kind of frag you want first, and after that you can find one that fits.
>I want something like AHS
Why not AHS?
>>18352044
They smell quite different to me, Avignon is resinous with some smoke, some vanilla and cedar and maybe some citrus in the opening, while Kyoto is soft flowery sandalwood, and I don't think they smell very close at any point.

Yeah, brother brand of Lalique, great frags for good prices.
Jaguar is playful and experiments with scents but performance is shit, they are similar to Dunhill.

Mercedes Benz is also pretty good but their performance was gelded some years ago, Porsche never stood a chance.

You probably smell leather polisher, not the leather itself, or you think vinyl seats are real leather.

>Don’t be a victim of branding and choose by your nose, not the advertising.
I've lived in actual rural places and cowboy oldfags use Wild Country even to this day, although they prefer the Freedom flanker rather than the original nowadays. Cowboy notes in the last 50 years have been anise, lavender and dry vanilla.

Man. I never understood all these super ambers that people were complaining about until I smelled Prada LR Ocean EDP and Le Parfum, Burberry Hero EDP and Parfum, and Gucci Guilty Elixir has it a bit as well but it's not as samey as the others. I really don't enjoy it, I'd even prefer a different flavor of ambrox bomb than whatever those are.

What are some great warm, resinous, ambers to try out? I already love Grand Soir, and dislike Ambra Aurea due to it smelling exactly like my church growing up which had incense soaked into the walls.

Blind bought Cool Water, Encre Noir, and I'm thinking about Drakkar Noir. What are some other good cheapies to order for fun?

SWY leather dupe recommendations? It’s out of stock everywhere I look and I don’t feel like waiting for it to pop up at some discounter.

Definitely get Drakkar Noir. Despite the memes it really is a solid fragrance for the price, even if its performance is short-lived and the scent is "dated." It's like the milk chocolate of men's fragrances. The only thing I don't like about it is that it seems to have inspired some of the early smells of Axe Body Spray, so every now and then I'm reminded of a high school gym locker room when I smell it.

IMO they're very different. Bois Imperial is fresher and vetiver-forward. A good crowd-pleasing allrounder. Ganymede has more mandarin and a leather base. Smells amazing though. I wear BI during the day and Ganymede in the evening. They're both office safe though.

That's the DNA of glory, great stuff but they are discontinued or raped.
>Jazz
Discontinued but brought out again in the private line or something from YSL. Got gelded because they removed almost all the base and half the aromatics. The Original DNA supposedly, the dry oakmoss amber aromatic.
>Tsar
Great cheapie that got discontinued and now it is known for being absurdly expensive in the vintage market, apparently the best performing one but i recall it lasting just as long as the rest, 6 hours. The Green version of the DNA, mostly the drydown.
>Pasha
Reformulated to the point of adding shit that wasn't there before, got not only gelded but raped with the heavy oakmoss base removed along with lots of the petit grain, half the mint which now also smells like a very cheap mouth cleanser, the lavender smells different and they added parts of Declaration (cumin) so it now also smells sweaty and dusty. The Freshie version of the DNA, now it smells like the somewhat animalic version which is very odd, performance is also not that good.
>Safari
Only one that somewhat resembles the original, which was the presumably the lowest of them all but still very good in its time. Reformulated to hell with the lyral, oakmoss, violet and woods removed. The Floral version of the DNA.

Mind you that this DNA, due to using tons of natural aromachemicals oils in its top notes like citruses and green leaves, usually gets stale fast and buying vintage is a high risk. Buying recent is also silly due to their famous woody oakmoss bases being gone so you are practically getting 2/3rds of the original ones, like modern chypres that can't be chypres due to half the ingredients from the genre being heavily restricted.

For me, Morillas is "the closing of the circle". His work is generic and appeals to the taste of the masses, but his best creations have nuances and it is those nuances that make them great. It is a kind of effortless beauty.

Discovery kits are (in general) great, but you have to go brand by brand to evaluate if they’re overpriced.

They have to be a real discovery kit though, ~2 ml. None of that six 10 ml bottles BS.

It isnt gimmick fragnances. They just have a theme. Most houses do, Maison Margiela have different settings (jazz club, by the fire, walking on a beach) and so on. It is just a theme to give the house a character. Versace has that ancient Greece/Roman thing and so on.

>>18353544
Take the hint Anon, it had nothing to do with your fragrance, they just don’t like you.

>>18353615
Sauvage Elixir is probably the most commonly occurring one, but it at least smells good (to most people, no doubt someone will disagree).

If all you care about is performance though, Tonnerre, Hyde, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Etruscan Water are all modern day bombs, but with varying degrees of enjoyability to the mass market. Honestly, it’s easy to forget how crazy the performance on Etruscan Water is.

>>18353619
If it really is broken, just start ripping away layers of plastic and metal until you get to the juice, but have something ready to pour it off into.

I think I just got my first fake. I was hunting for a vintage bottle of Polo green. Box and bottle looked good, but longevity was suspiciously shorter than I expected. Took a closer look at the box, batch number is off-center to the left, and the bottle itself doesnt have a batch number at all.
Anyway, what's a good way to dispose of fakes? I imagine I can't just pour that shit down the drain

>If it really is broken
The nozzle sprays, but it gets stuck down and has to be manually brought back up. The sprays will sometimes double and aren't a very fine mist either.
>until you get to the juice, but have something ready to pour it off into.
The juice meaning the actual liquid in the bottle right? I'll probably transfer it into a different bottle then. Thanks.

>>18353636
>and the bottle itself doesnt have a batch number at all.
That doesn't necessarily mean anything. I've had legit bottles without batch numbers in the past, though mayne it's different in Polo's case.

>>18353636
>batch number is off-center to the left, and the bottle itself doesnt have a batch number at all.
That's pretty normal for vintage bottles. What's not normal for polo green is the short lifespan. It was probably refilled.

Anyway, just rip the box and smash the bottle outside if you really need to

>That's pretty normal for vintage bottles
I was under the impression that it wasn't based on the info I got from this website
https://thecounterfeitreport.com/product/550/Polo-EDT-Colognes.html
I also looked up the box's batch # on CheckFresh and it showed a MFG date of 2023, but I know that some companies reuse batch numbers. It also doesnt smell like my modern bottle from 2011; it's noticeably more fresh-smelling and less harsh overall

Clones are sometimes better than the original. Better longevity and so on. And can be clones of old discontinued fragnances or formulations. Or limited edition fragnances that cost like $4000 and only is available in a single boutique in Dubai or Paris or something. Dua fragnances often make clones of such fragnances for example. Sometimes dupes are appropriate. I'm not paying rolex and patek prices for something that isn't going to be a family heirloom

not seriously, no. but you're correct in noticing the overlap. wine, fine spirits, cooking, music, chemistry all lend themselves to an appreciation of perfume. but many of those are a bit more intellectual than emotional. i'm mostly into fragrance for the emotion, for its ability to transport me to a time or place i've either experienced or can imagine.
