any recs for a europoor student like me?thinking about buying yves rocher or zaras just because theyre eveywhere and I can actually try them before buying but cant help but feel like a retarded normie for buying from these companies. are they ok?I need something that lasts at least like 6-8 hours but also cheap

>>18364439CDNIM

I forgot how good full incense is. Anyone else know any good incense-heavy fragnances?
My beliefs and actions are governed by marketing. I have no agency. I must be told what to think. (frags for this feel)
>>18364467Not that great anon. Unum Lavs is the incense frag i love.
>>18364458Well I don't like it.

>>18364411>>18364455>>18364458Bois imperial smells like nuclear biodiesel, it’s oppressively synthetic and heavy and lasts for fucking ever
>>18364496Half of these are too sweet, not an upgrade to Full Incense.
imagine walking around smelling like incense
>>18364501Synthetic how? Are you using "synthetic" as just a "it has a note I don't like"?
>>18364508No, in fact it’s very “well blended” in that I can’t pick out specific notes at all. I mean it smells like something that doesn’t exist in nature
>>18364512>it smells like something that doesn’t exist in natureYou don't know that
>hated encre noire the first time i tried it>a month later i decide to try it again and love itexplain
>>18364520Your hormones or something

>>18364525Nah just like sweet oranges, nothing else.
>>18364467Encre Noire a L'Extreme>>18364520I've had four bottles of original Encre Noire, it's always piss weak when I first open it, then after a few days of airing it livens up and smells good.
>>18364356hows my collection brahs? wanna add one niche and then call it quits
>>18364405zoomer girls also think Althair is masculine, tiktok has them thinking white floral and vanilla =manly
>>18364442adding to your post: I've realized I'm literally the only white man in these threads
>>18364547And why not
>>18364439i like zaras but they generally only last a few hours. but they're so cheap that it doesn't feel bad to respray. they do have some "intense" versions that may have the longevity you're looking for, but you'll have to research that yourself
>>18364546Extremely boring, but you probably fuck unlike Indians who wear New York Intense and Habit Rouge.
>>18364546It's good, but it could use something bright and fresh for hot weather.
>>18364550i thought i was the only white man>>18364546typical 22 year old core. why are you specifically looking for a niche fragrance? what do you feel like you are lacking?
>>18364546you need something fresh
>>18364546looks practical 2bh. for someone who actually has a life.
>>18364501>heavy and lasts for fucking everNot my experience at all. Maybe you have an older formulation. I stopped smelling it after ~4hrs.
>>18364546I'm wearing Givenchy Gentleman right now. Really good scent, but projection seems weak. I made a point of spraying tactically to try and avoid noseblindness, too. Would love a full bottle.
Why do you WANT people to smell you. That mentality seems desperate and perverted. What decent person cares about "projection"?
>>18364577Same reason people get dressed up nicely.
Nicolai has increased their prices again. 30ml bottles cost €82 now. 20% increase in a little over a year.
>>18364562im considering either creed git or bond no.9 chez bond. just the quality difference i guess. xerjoff 40 knots also is nice but i cant find it for a good price
>>18364580That's not the same at all. Nothing is being pushed on anyone for dressing nicely.
>>18364582Don't wear GIT unless you're 40+
>>18364577I care about projection because I don't want to spend money on something I can barely smell on myself. I've had fragrances that are skin scents within MINUTES, no way is that worth the money.
>>18364589If you can smell it that's enough.
>>18364602I think your standards are too low.
>>18364611Standards for sloppiness? Lack of self-awareness?
Sauvage edp is so good
>>18364551>zoomer thinks vanilla gourmandslop is masculine
>>18364622Hey man if you want to buy fragrances that are so weak you need to roll up your sleeves and sniff your own wrists to smell them that's fine by me, it's your money.
>>18364582Just get Platinum Egoiste and save some money. Or Cool Water.
>>18364405Just smells like rose with a little bit of leather. The rose overpowers everything and there's nothing dirty or animalistic about it. It's pretty cringe for a men's frag. ODLR Pour Lui is a little better and cost like $8.
>>18364630Are fragrances primarily about maximizing dollar cost value to you? I can smell what I wear coming off my chest throughout the day. Anyone that comes within a couple feet of me would too, but if they're that close to me in the first place its normal. Walking around and knowingly projecting an odor into space around you with the intention of having others smell it seems trashy and rude. Maybe its is a cultural difference idk.
>>18364654>Are fragrances primarily about maximizing dollar cost value to you?No, it's about actually being able to smell them. I thought that was already pretty clear.>I can smell what I wear coming off my chest throughout the day. Yes, that is what I'm aiming for. But I need to make sure the projection is such that I can actually do that. Otherwise I'm spending money on an experience I'm not getting. Make sense?>Walking around and knowingly projecting an odor into space around you with the intention of having others smell it seems trashy and rudeNo disagreement there, but this is another reason to care about projection. I barely notice four sprays of Givenchy on myself, but if I do four sprays of something like Mancera's Red Tobacco Intense, I'll watch people faint from 10 feet away. Projection matters whether you like it or not.
>>18364653Sort of like Fahrenheit and violet leaf. Fahrenheit is considered super masculine due to the gasoline opening, but it's really a beautiful violet fragrance with some light leather.
what is your favorite linear fragrance? something that's not really complex, doesn't develop much, basically smells the same from minute 10 until the end

How does Dior Homme Original 2021 compare to Dior Homme Intense (2011 I think)? I've sampled Original and I like it a lot, but it's at the limit for sweetness for me.

Sorry but can I get an anon's rundown on the variations of Dior Sauvage? I think I get EDT/EDP, but what the hell is a Forte and Elixir?

>>18364547I love white florals though. If it was percieved as masculine I would wear tuberose all day every day. So I welcome that.>>18364574I hate the naming conventions of those.

>>18364856Looking at the notes it should be something I love. Sampled it on a strip and the top notes had something sharp I didnt like, will need to test on skin again later
>>18364812Intense is sweeter and less fresh, more vanilla and chocolate. I prefer Original, but Intense does last longer.You might like the Parfum more, as it's more smoky and leathery and not as sweet as Intense. But apparently they've discontinued it and released a new version that's completely different, so IDK if you can still get it.>>18364974It should be the same as the current Original. Original is just pre 2020 Dior Homme but renamed.
>>18364856pleasant but overpriced for dime a dozen spicy vanilla. just get eau des baux
>>18364928>>18364882Elixir is actually good and pretty different from the others
>>18364908>Givency have like a million completely different fragnances that all are called "Gentleman" and they aren't even flankers of each otherthey named it after a classic old school fragrance too that smells like nothign from the new line lmao. Kind of like Eau Sauvage and Sauvage
>>18365075Same. I've tried it a couple times and there's always something that smells like sour milk in there.
>>18365081At least they still sell the old school version. You have to look for "Gentleman (1974)", though.
>>18364976brown lower class /pol/lacks trying to dress like a rich preppy grandpa is endlessly hilarious. especially the Patekthey always end up looking like "you know I had to do it to em" guy at best. learn colors, and proper fit instead of playing dress up
>>18364863Just buy Kenzo Homme EDP or any of the other Bischbombs, it's hard to outperform those as a hot weather fragrance. Maybe Ganymede
>>18365050Try Bogart Pour Homme. It also costs like 10$
>>18365081How do you even tell them apart? I was recommended Givency Gentleman and then I look and see almost similar looking bottles with the exact same name. And I thought "maybe they are flankers, but why aren't they named differently" and then when I smell them they all smell completely different from each other. Who came up with that idea? When they make a new Gentleman. Let's say "Gentleman (2025)" which is the second Gentleman that year, but this time they want to make a deep dark amber and our scent, completely different from anything else. How do they even advertise it? What if the bottle is exactly the same as Givency Gentleman (2017) let's say (they like doing that. Givency Gentleman (2022) which is a oriental vanilla is just slightly browner bottle than Givency Gentleman (2022) which is a woody spicy scent. Otherwise exactly the same bottle) >>18365088Make sure you don't mistake it for Givenchy Gentleman Original (2024) which has almost exactly the same looking bottle but has a lot more citrus and honey and rose. And Jasmine and vanilla. Something that the 1974 one has none of.
>>18365088Nevermind my last comment it is the other way around.
>>18365110>Who came up with that idea?Marketers realising they can advertise for one fragrance and just release a billion unrelated scents as flankers to make use of already existing name recognition and bottle design.Dior Homme is another line that's become impossible to understand flanker hell.Apparently this shit works and normies buy into it.
>>18365092>Kenzo Homme EDPFucking love this stuff so much.
>>18365088>>18365110Well now that's got to be the SOTD
>>18365114But what is the point when they are so different from each other that they aren't flankers in any useful sense.It is as if Tom Ford called everything in his "private blend" line for "private blend" instead of "oud wood", "tobacco vanille", "neroli portofino" they would all be called "private blend" and just have different colored bottles and would just need to guess if you're picking up "tobacco vanille" or "Fougére D'Argent" since the color of the bottle is pretty much the same.I mean it might work for the FIRST bottle. But next time they might pick up a bottle thinking it is the same as before and it smells totally different. And yes, I guess the new Dior Homme is ending up like Givency Gentleman I hear (I haven't smelled the new one and I completely forgotten how the old one smelled, I never owned it). Where it is a completely different DNA in the same bottle and you need to look at year it was produced and so on. If it works it will baffle me and infuriate me because then we will just see more of that nonsense.
>>18365155I just noticed if you google to find Gentleman Original (2024), pictured. You find the 1974 version (that you hold) most often. In many stores it is called Gentleman Original it seems. I can't even find the 2024 bottle.
>>18365170Yeah, you're right. Even on Givenchy's own website they spell it out. picrel
Are there any noteworthy Polo Green dupes?I smelled Polo Green on a guy the other day, but the intensity and sillage made me think it was an arab dupe, not the real thing.
>>18365181Belcam Classic Match smells a lot like the old formulations of Polo. Maybe the Patchouli is a little dirtier-smelling.Dua makes something called Bet on Green that is supposedly a decent vintage Polo clone, but I hate their shit so I've not tried it.
>>18365180Same fragnance? They have different note breakdowns. To be fair I haven't compared these two exactly, but most of the Givency Gentleman are as different from each other as can be.
>>18365210I haven't smelled the stuff in the new bottle, but they say it's the same.I don't trust the note breakdown either, but all the companies really understate what goes into fragrances these days.>It says it's got lemon, vetiver, and musk!>Why does it smell like a leather satchel filled with flowers?I agree that the Gentleman line is pretty insane.
>>18364546NPCtier, you can do so much better. Welcome to /frag/
>>18365232I always feel like a fool when I go for example like "smells like tobacco... But it isn't in the notes..." And then I don't know if it is the blend or what. Doesn't matter much when I drink coffee and taste dried fruits on coffee that is described as chocolatey. Because the ingredients are only coffee. But when I smell tobacco then I can't confidently say if it contains tobacco or not when the notes doesn't mention it. I guess they need their secrets to avoid dupes.
>>18365232>I agree that the Gentleman line is pretty insane.It makes perfect sense when you lay them out in the correct order. They're all junk except the last two.>GentlemanPrada L'Homme without any of the normal Prada soapiness>Gentleman Eau de ParfumA dry, spicy iris without Dior Homme Intense's lipsticky character>Gentleman Eau de Parfum Reserve PrivéeIt's Dior Homme Intense>Gentleman Eau de Parfum BoiséeIt's Dior Homme Intense without the booziness>Gentleman Eau de Toilette IntenseA powdery, woody iris>Gentleman SocietyA woody aromatic inspired by Dior Homme moving away from iris>Gentleman Society Eau de Parfum ExtrêmeA woody aromatic inspired by Dior Homme moving away from iris, but with iris and a higher price tag>Gentleman Society Eau de Parfum AmbréeA woody aromatic inspired by Dior Homme moving away from iris, but with amber and a higher price tag>Gentleman CologneAn eau de cologne with a little iris>Gentleman (1974)A classic woody aromatic from the 1970s.>Gentleman OriginalA classic woody aromatic from the 1970s in a stylish new bottle.
>>18364625Sauvage edp is bergamot for 1 hour and then it's nothing.
>>18364702I have Alphaora 30 aka Baccarat Rouge for Men andCadjmere 18 a dark vanillia with a deep dark woody spiced side.I think both are high quality, interesting, powerful, and have good longevity. The house has a ludicrous amount of different scents, so it's necessary to go out and smell your selection before purchase.
Went to the store to test Bleu de Chanel and though they smell pleasant it seems like way too basic a scent to be charging that much. I like the parfum best. Is the Missoni Parfum the best cheap alternative? I know there are Arab clones but their bottle designs are just embarrassing.
Monsieur de Givenchy and Gentleman (1974) are the best Givenchy fragrances for men.
>>18365243The note breakdowns are just suggestions / marketing notes, they are not actual ingredients. Often glaringly obvious materials are left out of note breakdowns
>>18365283Xeryus and Xeryus Rouge were both great, but got butchered in their reformulations.(Also, another example of Givenchy re-using a name on two fragrances that are nothing alike.)
>>18365164Anon wrote that in the post you're replying to, the point is that they can spend money marketing "Fragrance by Designer", and then sell anything as "Fragrance (something) by Designer" to make use of already existing name recognition and bottle design.

Caronbros... we're finally seen...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AwW8YLXCcU
>>18365344That isn't the problem. For example black opium flankers I have no problem with. They are all called things like "black opium glitter", "black opium illicit green" and so on. All different names. Nobody will have a hard time finding "black opium illicit green" or mistake it for one of the other bottles.While givenchy just calls them all "gentleman". And when you have something with a TECHNICALLY different name like Gentleman Eau de Parfum Reserve Privée (pictured) you don't see that on the bottle. It just says "gentleman givenchy" like any other. And they aren't even flankers, they don't share style or DNA or whatever.
>>18365370not watching that low info degen
>>18365370really interesting video. I didn't know Caron used to be so prestigious
>>18365196>>18365360Thanks for the suggestions. I love the current formulation of Polo Green, I'd just like more longevity of the piney opening. There's an arab dupe out there that fits the bill I'm sure of it, just don't know what it is :/

>CypressVirgin neo nazi wears - Encre NoirChad leader of Operation Valkyrie wears - OPUS3 Cypress Shadow
>>18365435Nazis are gay.
My sample of Yatagan came today. First impression is extremely good. Very "outdoorsy" smell, reminds me of being in the woods way more then Encre Noir. It reminds me of camping, splitting wood with an axe, in air with the faint aroma of conifers. Has a bit of similarity with some other popular scents of that era. Smelling Yatagan brings Versace L'Homme, Azzaro PH, and Aramis to mind but it doesn't "smell like" any of them in particular. Certainly not as challenging as many describe, but not suitable for everyone. Definitely suits a more mature and dry style, maybe English Country or Light Academia. If you're someone looking for an perfume reminiscent of the outdoors or a forest, I would suggest Yatagan a hundred times before I suggested Encre Noir. This is much more woody with a bit of leather and pine, where EN is very bright and aromatic with all the cypress
>>18365502It's nothing like Encre Noire.
>>18365512No, but they both aim for that deep forest vibe. The forest in EN is much gloomier, the forest in Yatagan is bright and you're on an invigorating camping trip in it.
>>18365516Pretty sure Yatagan is supposed to evoke the smell of Turks riding horses but whatever.
>>18365512Yea i know. Everyone says EN is a forest smell but I think its mostly urbanites who have never been in the woods >>18365516I find EN to be very very bright, the cypress is pretty camphorous and vetiver isn’t really a dark note to begin with. Whenever I smell EN the colour that comes to mind is the green that glow in the dark stuff is before you turn the lights off. Yatagan is brown wood brown leather on a brown dirty trail.

Heee heeeSotd Cool Water
>>18365794>Is Histoires de Parfums 1725 as sweet as something like OG Le Male or PdM slop? It's described as a gourmand fougere.No. Not at all. It's an aromatic fougere with some gourmand elements. It's not as razor sharp as Azzaro Pour Homme, not as soft and floral as Caron Le 3eme Homme. 1725 is in between the two.The vanilla is not sweet and the creaminess comes from the almond
>>18365794it's worse than both le male or pdm slop which is quite remarkable

>>18365782/frag/ has cycles of fads. Currently every Indian is recommending Platinum Egoiste (and not the original for some reason.) Before that they were all recommending Antaeus, and before that it was like 4 straight months of New York Intense.
>>18365914You remember when everything was Bois Impérial and Ganymede?
>>18365722It doesn't matter. He's a different person with his own tastes. The only way to use an online recommendation is to go out and smell scents yourself, then find the online reviewer that has similar tastes to you. Personally, I don't agree with the list. I don't enjoy any of the S-tier Frederic Malle classics, and I think most Amouage fragrances are a strange and unappealing blend.

>>18364356Anyone try cdg soda edt?I'm looking for a fragrance with a fizz to it, and 'soda' sounds like it'd be exactly that.
>>18365916yes, but luckily that didn't last very long. I picked up BI completely separately from any discussion on here because I actually like the frag and the discovery set from Essential parfums gave a good discount. Ganymede smells like wet cement for the first hour then dries to a sandalwood & peach. It's interesting, but I don't see why it would be mass recommended.
Terre d'Hermes EDT or Parfum? Why?
>>18365931neithersuck, boring, played out
>>18365931Jeremy says to always buy the first release because if the flankers were better they would have released it as the original. So by that logic the EDT would be the one to get.
>>18365931I prefer the EdT by a LOT. the whole point of the 'earth' scent is the smell of hot stone. In the note breakdown they call it 'slate', but its meant to smell like stone baked under the sun. You can smell it in the EdT, and it's almost completely missing in the Parfum where the dry-orange note is heavily amped up.

What happens if they make perfumes/fragrances? You bet boomers and millennials gonna seethe about it.
>ib4 Newfag>Pic relatedI never really liked anything I tried until last year I came across Lowe 7 Anónimo in the airport.I never got any particular interest in perfumes cause they seemed to "never fit me". I am unsure if I want to dive too much into the lore, so I am trying first to understand why the hell I dislike most fragrances in the first place.Some give me headaches and some smell good on paper but the change in smell when applied to my skin makes it a completely different smell. Am I nuts? Or perhaps just too much of a bitch? Am I based?

>>18366104post a negative HIV test cockbreath
I don't want to be too much of a normie or risk hot girls having negative associations with my sent from other people who have worn it, but at the same time, testing loads of random scents sounds expensive and would take a long time. So right now I'm sampling all the most popular scents, but I'm thinking of using fragrantica to find the common notes or perfume houses, or fragrance vibes, that I like, and then using the notes finder to find more obscure fragrances that I'm likely to enjoy. Does this sound like a good plan and has anyone tried a similair thing before?
>>18365914alot of the stuff that's memed is actually good. but antaeus is really shit. maybe it smelled different 20 years ago but today it just smells like a dated feminine perfume. it's not an "animalic, oily leather bomb" it smells like rose and suede. it's not even gross or dark if that's what you were looking for. it's just gay, feminine and dated.

Why do fragrance influencers always dress like shit?
>>18366226Did she break up with you because you cheated on her with trannies?
Is there any more pathetic and worthless existence than hanging on the thoughts and opinions of 'influencers'?
>>18366229Most of them are nerds who care about their hyperfixation and not actually appearing attractive
>>18366231Influencers who share my taste are a good way to know what to sample
>>18366228Nah, but a women who is this open with her sexuality soon or later will cheat.>>18366230I wasn't 100% honest about getting a number from a different fat girl. She found out. Sometimes Cool Water can be a curse.

What would they wear?
>>18366380Probably Montale Full Incense and completely overwhelming amount of it.
>>18366393Thanks for the rec I was looking for incense heavy stuff
>>18366393>>18366411Reads like samefagging
>>18366413just organic discussion, nothing else
>>18366413Why would you think so?>>18366411I got a decant but used it up :(
>>18366085popularity of the brand cratered when it sold to a conglomerate and became less exclusive. i don't think anyone will seethe because i don't think anyone cares.
>>18366085>>18366521forgot to add: even if it did still have the brand cache, it was a hypebeast brand driven by collectors and re-sellers, neither of whom would ever spray the fragrance and lower its resale value. the prices an unavailability would scare off most fragrance hobbyists, so again, it would largely be ignored as a gimmick.now, a fragrance line could succeed, because the brand does still have value. i think the clearest model to emulate is cdg. a mix of experimental and conceptual fragrances as well as some more straightforward offerings. then again, the owners may decide to accept that supreme is simply a mall brand and try to find its own boss bottled to establish a foothold.
What has a good cedar note?
Burning so much dragons blood incense lately. So good but not many perfumes use it as a note. Do you bros know any?
>>18366597Hiram Green - Hyde smells somewhat like that. Also try out frags with the note Acacia.
>>18366601Thanks bro
Could someone recommend masculine fragrances that give "middle east during middle ages" feel?
>>18366619Tauer L'Air du Desert Marocain
>>18366619LITERALLY sohrab
Does creed not wrap their boxes in cellophane? Just got a bottle of GIT from FragranceNet that wasn't wrapped. Coming from them, I'm inclined to trust it, I've just never received a new frag without cellophane before.
>>18366619Montale black aoud. Or anything that has oud front and center. At least among the Arabs. Among the Christians they didn't really wear perfume (knights templars and many other crusaders were forbidden to wash as well. Probably to avoid infiltration by Muslim spies who had to wash 5 times per day for prayer.) but they might have smelled like incense from church. Frankinscence and Myrrh.
>>18366636how long did it take them to ship? i gave up after 5 days and cancelled.
>>18366671Took them about two days to get it in the mail and then another two days of transit with standard shipping
>>18366636They don't. I ordered my Aventus directly from them and it was shipped in a cardboard box full of shredded cardboard with no wrapping on the perfume box itself.
Holy shit

How many reviews should a ebay seller have for you to consider buying from them?

>>18364976This is the fit that 90% of Indian international students on my campus wear, minus the expensive watch.
>>18366750if the price is too good to be true, it's watered down and repackaged slopthankfully both times i've been burned they gave me a refund
>>18366765I finally got a fake on eBay, but same deal they refunded me right away. I fucked up by getting a travel size spray of MMM Under the Stars without checking to see if they even make it in a travel size. Sure enough, it smelled 90% watered down compared to when I tried it in the store.
>>18366699Is it good? What is it a dupe of?
any suggestions for a slightly more modern take on the egoiste platinum dna? alternatively just list you favorite green/woody fragrances!!
>>18366789Egoiste Platinum is modern though?
>>18366795yeah, if you're 60

>>18366113Antaeus is badKouros is very badNYI is fine, but not better than Habit RougeGanymede is fine, but not greatEau Sauvage is actually pretty niceGreen Irish Tweed is nice, but absolutely not worth its astronomical costBaccarat Rouge is synthetic candy nonsense and priced like gold.Paco Rabanne pour homme is just less appealing shower gelKnize 10 is actually excellent because it's a open crisp floral barbershop fougere wearing a leather jacket.One Man Show and Quorum are both old-school funky bad and dry down into the same synthetic floral shit.Alfred Sung is synthetic sweet nonsenseAzzaro pour homme is a boring anisetic shower gel.The old school men's cheap synthetic frag defenders are coping and smell like shit in real life. Castoreum is also incredibly hard to work with, and if you wear a frag with it, you're probably offputting unless you have a visible 6-pack. Yatagan is the only one that pulls it off and it does so by leaning HARD on the woods notes.>inb4 noseletI'm right about everything.
