>>18370291>Imaginary Authorsnot really, no>eight&bob originalit's not bad as such but definitely overpriced for what it offers and the story behind it is almost as fishy and cringe as creed's
>>18370284Good picture, and I don’t just mean>Its Rogue so it’s goodThe over all presentation and green theme.
you ever get overwhelmed about the sheer amount of frags you'll never be able to smell?
>>18370310no, as about 95% of them are utter crap
>>18370284Rogue sucks. Just buy the cheap classics that he clones.
>>18370302i can get 100mL for 100cad. i think it's pretty affordable all things considered
>>18370316>100mL for 100cadaffordable indeed

Continuing with anon from the last thread regarding Rogue>>18370213My favorite three were Bon Monsieur, Targhee, and Vert. The first one because I love Drakkar Noir unironically, and it smells kinda similar, but better. The third because I just love woody-leathery combos, and Targhee is a special one for me. I used to work in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, so it's very nostalgic and reminds me of better, wilder days. Never found another perfume that really captures that sagebrush and junie.
what’s a good cheap/affordable cologne or dupe for summer?$25-$30 rangeI have ENS and a GIT dupe for summer only and I’m tired of GITENS doesn’t last enough
>>18370312>gets a counterfeit bottle filled with cat piss, antifreeze, and bleach instead of muh heckin basederino vintage bottleNo thanks
WHO TF TRICKED ME INTO BUYING ARMAF
I DEMAND somone post turin's new blog reviewing MFK RIGHT NOW! IMMEDIATELY! THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES IF YOU DO NOT! (thank you)
>>18370328For that price range? Nautica Voyage
What perfume(s) does your wife wear, bros?
>>18370345She likes Vetiver 46, Santal 33, and clones thereof.
>>18370337>purchasing arabslop>everWe tried to tell you but you didn’t listen
What fragrance would Claude wear? Aside from Drakkar Noir.
You guys ever smelt so good someone tried to bum you?Right up the bum like its lots of fun
torn between fils de joie or fleurs d'oranger from lutens for an extremely cheap blind buy. has anyone tried either? I love dirty and heavy white florals and while fils de joie seems more in line with my tastes, the cumin note in the latter makes it tempting
Boy I love wearing my BEAST MODE PANTY DROPPER COMPLIMENT MONSTER NICHE QUALITY WELL-BLENDED SUMMER FRESHIE SIGNATURE SCENT
>>18370345She likes fresh florals and isn’t into vanilla gourmandslop, thank god>Replica Flower Market>Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia>Glossier You
>>18370328Jeanne en Provence Neroli Intense. Pure honeysuckle and is sub $20.
>>18370345My wife likes Shalimar and Alien. She's the best
>>18370328Eau de Rochas Homme.Cerruti 1881Cool Water
>>18370320Star Men Nebula is a really good clone
>>18370351I have the discovery set which indludes Fleurs d'Oranger. It's a pretty nice neroli although it leans feminine imo. Sounds like you should get it and you probably wouldn't be disappointed.
>>18370318>>18370323>StopLikingThingsIDon’tLike.jpg>>18370326Glad you could find something with such a deep connection Anon, mine aren’t nearly as sentimental. Mousse Illuminee is my favorite by far, I just really enjoy the pseudo green smoke feel I get from it as it progresses to an embery moss scent and the grapey background. Both of the Derviches are the next two in line simply because I’m a sucker for sweet scents over most things, but I’d pick Bon Monsieur and Tabac Vert next. Derviche II reminds me a lot of The Most Wanted line though, which I own Parfum, so it would feel a bit redundant. I was surprised Targhee Forest was as floral as it was.
>>18370348ck one
>finally find something i like enough to wear every day>find out it's discontinuedis this why people start wearing shit that will be around forever like guerlain vetiver and git?
>>18370388That or they buy clones What frag?

What's the situation with Hanae Mori? Out of stock everywhere except the site and I can't find samples.
>>18370345My wife wears nothing at all. Even all her soaps and deodorant are fragnance free. Me and my daughter are the ones in the household into the frags. My son has some and wears on occasions

What are the most indolic white and/or yellow flower frags?I'm looking for heady stuff.
>>18370328Neroli Intense as anon saidsome SMW cloneLapidus Sport
>>18370328Cerruti 1881 lasts pretty good on me
I'm sure 'indolic' isn't a word anyone really uses except when dullards want to feign being cultured and intelligent.
>>18370447How old are you? Are you my dad?
>oriental fragrances
Are Azemour les Orangers and Eau d'Orange Verte similar to Terre d'Hermes? How prominent is the orange note in them?
>What does the desert dream about?>###################>Fall into the dark universe>we drift away>to the stars an eternityDanke Parfumotard, very helpful as always.
>>18370482fancy way of saying pissy jasmine
>>18370484Morrissey is a faggot and so are you
>>18370500you're just mad because he dabs on subcontinent shitters
>>18370506fragrances are the domain of subcontinent shitters
realized i still had this unopened. mellow frankincense, a hint of black pepper – nothing groundbreaking, but i like it. like a warm embrace from an old friend.
>>18370485>Eau d'Orange Verteorange is prominent. similar dark rindy orange in a green context to Terre, though the rest of the fragrance is not too similar. the Eau is more soapy and refreshing with a classic light citrus aromatic / cologne hybrid feel, and it doesn't have any of the spice, Iso E, vetiver or weird mineral notesI think Verte is a great and timeless fragrance, though it does perform like an eau de cologne, which is what it is. Terre was probably riffing on it slightly, but they are different enough to both be worth owning, Terre as more of a whole year wear and Verte as a refreshing EDC
>>18370447nothing at all?
>>18370484I wonder what he was wearing here
>>18370507yeah, poopourri
I tried all the big fragrance sellers at the Mall of America and none have sample bottles. Does anyone know of ones in the twin cities that do? Or should I just bring some of my own bottles and spray some in there?Also, what are the best online stores that sell sample sizes and are based in the US?
>>18370398it's happened twice. once with body kouros, second time with guerlain homme l'eau.
>>18370566>bringing sample bottles to steal from store testerslol, lmao. don't do that. nordstrom will generally give you a small spray bottle of anything, but only if you look like you might actually buy something. the sales associates get commission, so if you buy stuff from them they will be happy to hook you up.uh, i've used perfumed court and luckyscent. both were fine. going to try scent split next time.
>poopourri
you won't believe how smelly things are rn
>>18370576I can smell you through the screen
>>18370576i recommend storing them vertically. i've had leaks and it's not fun. norne made an entire box of samples sticky.
samplefags should all kys. i hope perfume houses will go after all the decant shops.
>>18370571Thanks for the advice, maybe I should wear my nice jacket next time. I ordered some samples, if I like them enough to get a bottle I'll try this next time. Or maybe I was just unlucky and got a cunty sales rep, who knows
>>18370590why
>>18370590why do you care
>at the mall today>two brown kids probably like 14 go into one of those shitty mall diamond stores >both of them doused in some shitty cheap freshie shit>at drugstore later>nigger wearing enough acqua di gio i can smell his nigger shower from 6 feet awayIf you are not of European descent you should not be allowed to buy fragrances. There’s no decorum at all. The entire manner with which ethnics use perfume just immediately betrays their incredibly low IQ.
>>18370587thank you for the tip, I guess I need to come up with some ladder display of some sort
>>18370590>buy all my decants privately on facebook for half the price of online decanterslmao
>>18370606
>>18370590you can't fight the market kid
>>18370613yes you can, adam smith was a retard
>>18370608you think they can't ban that but they can. just like they did with the liquor bottle splitting groups.
>>18370615I was just talking out my ass
Are Dior, Chanel, Guerlain, and maybe Versace "all I need"?
>>18370669once you get started down this rabbit hole, you're never satisfied with what you have. you'll always be looking for something better.
>>18370694my list of perfumes to sample is already a few hundred dollars in price
>>18370697i've been there. and my new list is a few hundred more
Thank you, ADG Profondo.
>>18370310That is very clearly Gerard, you should be ashamed.
l'instant guerlain in EDP or EDT?
>>18370576>the proper version of Guerlain Vetiverbased>>18370590cringe>>18370669yes, but you will *want* morethose are the rules, I don't make 'em>>18370732EDT, with Guerlain it's always EDT(this should probably be added to the OP)
How is this so popular? It smells like nothing.
>>18370482Ah, that's why nobody replied to my post, they didn't know what it meant.
>>18370748It has a very characteristic smell, you might simply be going anosmic to it quickly.
Literally all you need
>>18370762Not my first picks for Allyouneedcore.
>>18370576Do you order your samples/decants from Fragrantworldshop?
>>18370669Versace doesn't belong with the first three.
>>18370748I can't smell it at all anymore. It used to smell like burnt sugar, but now I smell nothing.
>>18370345
You don't need more.
>>18370802would buy but that bottle is so fucking ugly
Should I blindbuy the 3 Caron masculines? How are their current formulations?
you don't need more.
>>18370810we're not your mummy retard
>>18370812>How are their current formulations?They are good.
>>18370808A L'Extreme is far superior, basically renders the original redunant.
you don't need more
>>18370815although probably intended for Caron-anon, still I can confirm that yes, they are good.probably much weaker than their originals, but still very enjoyable and long-lasting.
>>18370813My mum doesn't know the current state of Caron masculine thoughever
>>18370822meaning she knows as little as this thread
>>18370816I love the three of them independently, they have their own qualities.
>>18370816I also prefer this one. The Sport is nice too, too bad the performance sucks
>>18370817How's the longevity? Asking because I want to know if it would be worth the money.
>>18370284Is this worth blind buying?
>>18370831no, it's also not worth buying in general>>18370830acceptable, not nuclear but does the job for a work day
>>18370817What's the difference between that and the EDP
>>18370836never tried the EDP but most probably the usual rule applies to Pour Monsieur as well - were the EDP better it would have been released first
>>18370832>not worth buying in generalWhy?
>>18370838overpriced and imo boring
>>18370839Dont you like the smell of leather?
>>18370841not too keen on it in a perfume
>>18370837The EDP was released in 2016 tho
>>18370829The performance get much better the longer you let it maturate.
>>18370831I have the Maison Alhambra clone and I love it, the original must be even better, but alot more expensive too.
Fragrance to attract a middle aged milf?
>>18370854pour monsieur
>>18370831don't blind buy a 300$ fragrance. get a decantfor my taste it's the best Tom Ford, and the most influential one by faralso, La Yuqawam is a very good clone that's worth considering. and of course there is Ombre Leather, which I like slightly less, but it is half the price
>>18370831no, especially not a fragrance this expensive and cloned to death
>>18370847Find this to be the case with all three EN frags
Currently dating a white red-blonde single mom. Her kid is white, why are white males don't take responsibility into raising they offsprings?We moors always bring order into mess.Sotd Câline - Absolute Blue (Upgraded Cool Water)
>>18370831i will echo the "dont blind buy a $300 fragrance" advice. i do rec trying it though. a lot of people think it's lovely (myself included)
>>18370856bro said milf not gilf.
>>18370892the recc still holds
>>18370284What's a good deodorant to use if my sweat smells bad and I want to neutralize it completely? Also, when I use fragrances, it kinda mixes with the smell of them.. Whats a good one that matches those two requirements??(Right now I'm using rexona cobalt dry)
>tfw new dior homme parfum>tfw acqua di gio elixir>tfw more le male flankersEver since I blocked all fragrance influencers from my social media feeds I have no idea what's going on when it comes to new releases
>>18370899Try applying some glycolic acid before your deodorant/antiperspirant.
>>18370906>I have no idea what's going on when it comes to new releasesneither do the conglomerates making these decisions
kind of related. I'm trying NoFap and Semen Retention, I'm on day 35. Now my balls have this really musky and animalic scent, it doesn't smell bad but it feels like I'm wearing Kouros or Antaeus on my balls.
>>18370969you know you're still allowed to take showers during nofap, right?
>>18370785the black ones are from there, the clear ones are from the perfumed court
>>18370969This guy is such a weird, gay little weasel.
>>18370812I have Egoiste, but I have never tried Platinum Egoiste. Is it a boring fresh fougere?
>>18370810Yes, you should definitely buy Pour un Homme, Le 3ème Homme, and Yatagan. Can't go wrong.
>>18370977>Is it a boring fresh fougere?yes. it's like a better, less synthetic version of CK Eternity with a sandalwood base. well done, but nothing too out thereit kind of marks the beginning of Chanel "selling out" and making very safe, inoffensive modern fragrances only (at least in their main men's line)
Does the parfum version of Defy have the same "soapy" after-scent as the cologne?
Anyone tried Caron Pour Un Homme Le Matin?
>>18371010The gay dragon reviewed it on his blog and probably basenotes
>>18371020Yeah that's why I'm asking. Looks promising. Wondering if anyone has first hand experience here
>>18371010yeah, swapped it away due to it being pretty unremarkable and having abysmal longevity.
>gay dragonlol, rofl, lmao even
>>18371010it wasn't very extraordinary
>>18370827is that a civet
>>18370968I actually need a good, non-irritating, natural, and odorless deodorant. Is this THE reference stick?
>>18371103I believe it’s a Hyrax.
>>18370831>>18370859>>18370870>>18370887Tuscan leather literally smells like arse
>>18371153arse is considered fashionable now
I was about to buy a bunch of 5ml (0.17 oz) samples from some of the OP links but realized one of the big discounters sells 0.27 oz travel sprays for the same price.
Should I buy pic related?
>>18371168who are you
>>18371169Just a fragrance enthusiast.
>>18371170A fragrance extremist?
>>18371168well it's a handsome bottle so you have my vote (assuming you've sampled it)
>>18371168The note breakdown reminds me of Kenzo Homme Marine but with patchouli in the base to give a 'dark' feel. I guess if you like it then that's all that matters, but I absolutely wouldn't without first getting a sample and wearing it for at least a week. 145 pounds for a 50 mil is fucking steep.
>>18371168it's nice. i liked it when i sampled it. if i were to get a dark marine frag, it's either that one or megamare
>>18371153it smells like cocaine and leather. might be too high test for you
I bought New York Intense. What am in for?
>>18371184the scent of losers posturing as winners
Im wearing Tom Ford's Extreme Noir. I don't really care for it, honestly.
>>18371183The cocaine note was reformulated out long ago. If you smell coke, you are imagining it. If you even know what coke smells like. It's just a raspberry and new, clean leather perfume and is much too sweet and feminine for me. Smells ok on a woman though.
>>18370977>Is it a boring fresh fougere?No it's not boring at all and stands out apart from all other fragrances in the genre with it's super crisp metallic heart, and the performance absolutely mogs just about every other 'barbershop' fougere on the market.
I've gone nose blind to my winter daily (Polo) and now I'm bored of it but I also know I love what it smells like on me. What do
Are Chanel all Les Exclusifs feminine?
>>18371217Switch it up, assholeYou DO have more than 1 winter fragrance, right?
>>18371221No. Sycomore isn't feminine, but it is weak and boring.
Are there any good gourmands? Like, at all? I've come to loathe every single one I've ever worn.
>>18371217Boss Bottled Absolu>>18371226No, I hate them.
>>18371226Guerlain's SDV is okay. So is Diptyque's Eau Duelle. Both are more just vanillas than true gourmands.Zaharoff's Signature Aurum is meant to smell like baklava and does a good job of it, imo
>>18371224>You DO have more than 1 winter fragrance, right?No, and I see the problem with that now. I don't like the idea of having a bunch of bottles I don't wear so I got my collection down to four.
>>18371226Gourmand is slightly larger than just sweet things. Admittedly it’s mostly sweet things, but there are also coffee gourmands that are popular. I just posted in the last thread about how Five o’Clock au Gingembre is a lightly sweetened ginger candy scent. You could also just dislike gourmands, nothing wrong with that. I hate most fruity scents.
>>18371241Yeah I get that. Unfortunately you go noseblind, as you now know.I like Yatagan for the winter.
How does one become an ultra-niche perfume bottle designer?

>>18370764>>18370764Drakkar is a strong masculine barbershop kinda fragrance that can be worn almost anywhere. Smells really good. Strong though Nautical voyage is light sweet fresh out of the shower smell kinda that is nice and low key. Smells really good but isn't overbearing.

>>18371322noted but I'm also not looking to spend much.
How'd I do /fa/gs?
>>18371010yes, I like both le matin and le sour, but I don't use it that often, so I ordered the discovery set with it, and also a travel spray, instead of buying a full bottle
>>18370817only based you dont need more post itt
>>18371332I don't recognize a single one :3
>>18371113I dunno, I chose randomly
So what's actually wrong with Le Male
>discontinued fragrance is $50>shipping is $50you son of a BITCHi'm still tempted
>>18371366the shape of the bottle
>>18371368so nothing that really matters
>>18371371well, some would argue that og shemale, while it set trends at time of release, is dated at this point and you are better off looking into things that have taken its dna and run with it, but if you like it then wear it in good health.
>>18371376>you are better off looking into things that have taken its dna and run with itLike what for example?
>>18371376>>18371377I'm seeing Eros and Luna Rossa has some mutual notes but idk if that means anything in reality.
