alternatively, the original Le Male. It's been watered down over the years that it's basically just a really nice barbershop frag with a little extra mint in the opening and a little extra vanilla in the base.

Very Decent choice.
I like it better than the original Scandal. It's a little less sweet and a little woodier. The geranium can give it a coconut/sunscreen scent in the opening, but after that, it's rich and dark without the syrupy caramel of the original.

It is insanely strong, though. One or two sprays and everyone will love how you smell. Three or more sprays and everyone will hate you for choking everyone out.

My favourite fragrance is Nicolai's New York Intense, but it is too complex and rich for me to wear on a daily basis.

What are similar-ish frags that lean in the same direction but are a bit less formal and perhaps also cheaper?
Tried Lalique Homme and Caron 3e Homme but both just seems like worse versions of NYI.
Maybe some 80s style aromatic fougere that leans a bit greener instead of NYI's full amber?

what's happened with chanel and their masculine fragrance line? last 15 years has just been flankers to bdc and ahs. even their private collection is a big yawn compared to the other french houses.

more like mumbai intense

>>18363196

Thank you. Creed I somehow don't like very much and is a tad pricey. The Chanel I need to try again.

Personally what sampler size do you find sufficient for something you intend to use regularly? I feel like I'd want to wear something around for about a month before committing to the bottle.

>>18363205

does anyone model their frags off of someone famous? using frags that a historical individual wore themself?

Jason Statham - Terre d’Hermes
George Clooney - Carthusia Mediterraneo

>>18363196
>Maybe some 80s style aromatic fougere that leans a bit greener instead of NYI's full amber?
If you're looking for those 80s Wall Street type power scents, not necessarily fougeres, you can try the following (though they won't be as powerful as 40 years ago due to reformulations):
- Antonio Puig Quorum
- Calvin Klein Obsession
- Pierre Balmain Monsieur
- Aramis New West
- Versace L'Homme
- Chanel Antaeus

There's tons more but these could point you towards something you like.

I've got $100 burning a hole in my pocket. Do I get a cart with Bentley Absolute and Intense, and Oud Malaki, OR a cart with Caron pour un Homme le soir and Givenchy Gentleman 1974?
Complicating factors: wife hates extremely woody fragrances (I can't wear Yatagan around her, nothing but contempt for Encre Noire) and disliked Gentleman when I got a test strip of it from the mall. On the other hand, I'm pretty open minded for anything except gourmands. I've got a particular like of lavender and fougeres generally (I love PE, Azzaro PH, and Caron PUH). Thoughts?

Gourmand/Caramel & Floral. It's fine, enjoyable, but generally simple and linear. Fits in with the PdM brand, and just like the others overpriced by 100%. If you get it around $150 I think that's fair. 160-180 is getting steep. any more than that is too much. If you buy it at retail you're a sucker.

If you are not familiar with fragrances they will seem fine, but, if you compare them to the original compositions they come off extremely synthetic and unbalanced. Like listening to a song through a phone speaker vs listening to it on studio headphones.

>How wearable is it for men though? Have you tried the EDT version?
It's totally wearable for men. It doesn't really have any overly feminine notes aside from a really juicy-smelling peach opening, but that doesn't last long.
After that it's a really rich oakmoss with some spices and woods.

There's a caveat that some people will think it smells feminine because their grandmothers will have worn it or a chypre that smells like it. Those are usually older people, though. People in their 20s, their grandmothers will have worn fragrances from the 1970s.

A couple threads ago, I remember someone saying that it's so old at this point that it's past smelling dated.

I've not tried the EdT, but I've heard it's excellent. I've tried the extrait and it's rocket fuel. Way too strong.

>>18363595
>>18363609
It’s pretty similar for me, closest is 2H away. Never been to any brands specific fragrance boutique, and I hope that they would be more readily open to giving away samples, but there’s no guarantee so I’m not too keen on driving just to find out. Besides, I’m not so curious that I really want to find out, Antaeus and Egoiste would be the only things I end up sampling.

>>18363709
That was just recently released, it’s just a limited edition bottle of the standard Le Beau. The same way you can find a 2024, 2023, and 2022 “Pride” edition of Le Male.

>>18363740
I’ve only tried the modern version, and to my nose it was fairly green, but after an hour or so it really smelled like dead, dried plant matter. It wasn’t great, but by no means was it offensive.
In other words, it smells like something from a bygone era that they’re trying to maintain for posterity’s sake.

>>18363740
I just tried it a couple days ago. The 2010 version of course. It's good, it smells like you would expect an old timey fougere to smell. The only thing I didn't like was a weird "body odor" note I was picking up from it. It smelled like sweat underneath all the aromatics, and I had just showered. It's cool to try for the history behind it but I wouldn't get a full bottle.

>>18363750
I don't hate it; it's great. And the only Creed I enjoy. Just too fucking expensive for what it is, like all Creeds.

>>18363864
I did end up ordering a bottle online of Egoïste just after that comment. I got paid friday so I was comfortable with it for now. They did let me select two samples at checkout, one was Antaeus and the other is just BdC (which I haven't tried anyhow).

>>18363535
Chanel is trying to pivot back into the luxury space.
Like many companies that try to move downmarket, they discover that the stench of poors hurts the brand's perception with the people who actually spend real money.

So they give the people some generic slop and keep the good stuff away from people who can't manage to travel further than their local Sephora.

>>18363634
I gave a job interview to an applicant who looked almost exactly like this on Friday and he was wearing Aventus lol

>>18363545
just sprayed on my hand as a reminder. Deep rich plum note with an initially powdery smell that clears up within 10 minutes into an airy almond+plum. Not sweet at all, but heavily spiced which gives it an almost sweet approach. Very French in terms of soft landing and the balance between top notes and spices.

Very possible. I’ve looked at multiple department stores, and the highest end one available to me is a Nordstrom which has their own Chanel… ‘structure’ inside (not just a counter or booth) and they said it was a boutique exclusive.

Fragrance is also just not as big a part of American culture like it is over in Europe, so it would make sense that older fragrances don’t get widely distributed, they’d likely just collect dust.

>>18363949

Guerlain is available from Boots' website, though I've never seen it in store. Other online retailers like Notino stock them too.
Big department stores like Selfridges or Harrods in London stock Guerlain.
Also the duty free at the airport has a big Guerlain section, but obviously you need to be boarding a plane to go there.

The only Guerlains I've ever seen in an American department store is Shalimar and Mon Guerlain.

They have boutiques in the US, though. The one in Las Vegas in the Bellagio is really nice. The last time I was there my wife and I spent about an hour chitchatting with him about fragrances. (It was in the middle of the day and there was no one else in the store; he was bored out of his mind.)
We ended up leaving with about 100mL total in samples of just about everything.

I ended up buying a bottle of Mouchoir de Monsieur because I'd never seen it anywhere.

That's a good question actually
Maybe the cream/oil based lotions and deoderants just aren't as good at articulating the essential oils as perfume is? I mean, there ARE deodorant and candle versions of many different perfumes, but they don't smell nearly as good. I remember trying out a Drakkar Noir body spray deoderant and it was basically just Axe.

Not really. You don't have any modern sweet fragrances, but it doesn't look like you really like those, otherwise you'd already have them
