The Fragrance Groups 101 Chart
what's the male equivalent of this. I like it to the point where I'm about to just wear it as a man.
The Fragrance Flowchart for Beginners
>>18539608just wear CK One
>>18539608why couldn't you wear what from the notes looks like a simple cologne as a man?
Is there a way to tell if I am noseblind? I don't feel 2/3 of the notes, whether it's amouage or proraso.
>>185396352/3rds?!damn, are you sure?
>>18539620I want my wife to smell like this so I’m looking for the inverse but if I can’t have a woman that smells like this I will.
>>18539643Dunno if you are sacracstic, but it's even worse, I don't feel more than 2-3 loudest notes.
>>18539635You have to try the notes individually. Go to one of those make-your-own-perfume places and smell all the stuff.
>>18539651not sarcastic just suprisedit's somewhat common for people to be anosmic to high doses of certain synthetic materials (like ambroxan or iso e super)>I don't feel more than 2-3 loudest notes.what do you mean?you're not expected to easily pick up on every note listed on fragrantica
>>18539660Good idea>>18539662Yeah I probably just lack the language to name the notes so I just lump a bunch of them into "leather" or "amber"
>>18539675a frag as an example would help "diagnose"
>>18539677Amouage Royal Tobacco - frankincense, tobacco, leather?
>>18539682I mean.... yeah prety muchdon't feel bad on not picking the tiny amount of florals that was added to help round out the baseand tonka,musk,vetiver,vanilla as a base is present in many fragrances and it's probably blended to help the frag not to be read as those notes exactlyI think you're fine
>>18539688and that's on top of fragrantica having probably the least accurate note pyramids among the big 3 frag websites
>>18539696what are the big 3 of fag websites?
>>18539705fragranticabasenotesparfumoalmost like they are in the op or something
>>18539705>4chin /frag/ thread>gay dragon blog>fagrantica

>>18539711it was a trick question tho, wasn't it?even a blind newfag piece of shit would surely find the main perfume review sites listed in the OP
>>18539717>even a blind newfag piece of shit would surely find the main perfume review sites listed in the OP>surelyhow do I say this......no they wouldn't
>>18539718>mfw when
>>18539572we should add primor to the list of sellers, they're only for southwestern europe but they have better prices than notino
>>18539708It's not a dragon it's a demon, idiot.
>>18539752>the clearly dragon shaped creature with the dragon head and chinese dragon moustache and scale and a tail? isn't a dragon and is instead a demondid you even think this through?
It's a dysgenic faggot who doesn't know what he's talking about.
Gemmerald OP/frag/gots give me your hardest/strongest/nastiest most heavily leathery frag reccs
Does anyone else think that Chanel Egoiste (not Platinum) smells similarly to Jacomo de Jacomo?
>>18539765certainly smells like it costs as much as jacomo de jacomo.
>>18539765I’ve only smelled Egoiste briefly on a card, but no, Egoiste came off as way more sweet and Jacomo de Jacomo is heavily smoky.
>>18539765they smell nothing alike>>18539764speaking of leather and jacomo de jacomojacomo de jacomo is my recc but it's not nasty and is instead really good
>>18539766No matter how much you try and shit on Egoiste it’s not going to stop people from loving it because it’s a classic, well crafted, excellent scent. You keep doing you though, because it’s not like I expect a troll to actually change. Curious to see you post some frags you think are better frags though.

He leans into the whole “devil” naming persona thing, but the visual representation is a dragon, so he’s “The Gay Dragon”. >(You)can go ask him yourself, we don’t need to. It won’t change how we refer to him. And yes, when he’s not getting off-topic about politics or other BS, his reviews, historical compilations, and knowledge regarding perfumery in general is exceptional and worth enjoying if you’re not a complete dolt.
>>18539813That gay brit who makes unicorn perfumes said moustache is like tuxedo so nothing gays say is exception or worth enjoying unless deez nutz you're the type to think Foucault is worth reading
>>18539764>badUntamableHoly shit this is a weird, bad, floral, body odor, indolic mess. And strong as fuck too. I’m not someone who shits on Imaginary Authors as a whole like most people, but this stuff is rancid while still maintaining something of a viability as a fragrance, unlike, for example, Secretions. >goodIron DukeWell rounded leather fragrance that is just a touch sweet off the top but quickly moves into a smoky, leathery, metallic base. It also has some soapy notes in the heart that I only occasionally catch but make the fragrance as a whole really interesting.
>>18539816I have no idea who any of those people are but you do you.
>sotd: L'Eau D'Issey PH IntenseThis is pretty good, especially for under 30 burgerbucks. I see why a lot of people dislike it though, that yuzu and smoky papyrus is rough at first. If they just amplified the sweet citrus, this could be a popular 'blue'.

>>18539891Whatever I want to smell good to others and myself>what do you mean by cozy and comforting?I don't know, it's a vibe. A scent that's intimate and relaxing. Like how some light colors can feel cold/clinical and others are mellow and comforting, I feel the same thing with scents but I don't know enough about notes to say what exactly
>>18539904Angel's Share.
>>18539886Maybe eau des baux or something?
>>18539913Too expensive unfortunately>>18539903Might be cool>>18539917Isn't this pretty similar to spicebomb?
>>18539966It's a bit similar to spicebomb extreme but less in your face and more comfyBurberry London is also very comfy
>>18539966it's also a tobacco and vanilla frag but it's less sweet and has a pepper notebtw fuck l'occitane for reducing bottle sizes
Years ago I had a sample vial of Bvlgari Au the rouge and I remember just loving how it smelled even if it was a little feminine. Anyone have recommendations for something similar or do I just need to cough up money for an old bottle?
>>18539855>found 90ml no box for $280cad shippedehh
Gay dragon's opinions are retarded and pompous.The only good reviewer in basenotes is speedracer, his reviews are always on point and describes the scent perfectly in a clear and concise manner.
rate my collection>oldest to newest: versace dylan blue, boss absolu, mancera red tobacco, mancera amor cafe, Marc B683, Orto Parisi Terroni, Filippo Sorcinelli Opus 1144, FS But Not Today
>>18539992Yikes
Well, I tried Attar Musk Khabib by Bortnikoff today. I wasn’t terribly impressed with it at first. I found the oakmoss to be exceptionally overpowering on first application, which as an attar gave it the feeling of somewhat generic albeit pleasant chypre extrait. It was certainly rich and complex but in the opening I would have rather dabbed Mitsouko parfum or something. Once the oakmoss settled, however, the natural musk took the spotlight and the supporting vanilla and tonka gives it a very warm and comfortable creaminess. I think I would wear this for more intimate occasions or even just in the depths of winter for sitting comfortably by the wood stove. I’m definitely glad I didn’t pay full price for it but I’m happy to have it in my collection, as it’s certainly a unique piece.
this arrives next week, what am i in for?
>>18540043Being a mobile hookah lounge.
Is there a cold weather equivalent to Bois Imperial?i know it's a woody fragrance, but it still feels more suitable for hotter weather.
Curious what you guys here on /frag/ think of these Women's fragrance picks. Are they approved?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp00URtVCiM
>1st girl has MFK gentle Fluiditynot too bad so far
>>18540054the girl that had the 2 frederic malle bottles had the best taste
>>18539892I heard Duro got reformulated scent and performance wise to oblivion some years ago, is it true?
>>18540081Nta but I tried it a couple months ago and it was still pretty strong. Definitely a straight up leather scent with no other bullshit behind it.
>>18540054

>>18539608Is there any frag that smells like musky male urine? The muskier the better. I'm a guy btw.

Aroma for this avenger?
>>18540045Does this still stand the test of time? I haven't smelled it but for a 1920's scent, it's probably copied to death and the DNA is probably everywhere.Is really that different of a scent from all the rest out there?
>>18540180>it's probably copied to death and the DNA is probably everywhere.it's not actually and you would know if you knew any fragrances>Is really that different of a scent from all the rest out there?very much sochypres are out of style and have been for a good few years now

>>18540174the polish cologne brutal classicI know nico is serbian and I doubt the cologne was distributed abroad but it fits>>18540192too expensive
>>18540180Yes and no. It obviously has since it’s been in continuous production for 100 years. It’s a part of the perfume canon and, as the flowchart says, THE chypre. If you are interested in perfume beyond it being an accessory that makes you smell good you absolutely need to know what it smells like. That said, overall it exists in the shadow of Shalimar which, as a vanilla amber is leagues more popular and “wearable” for normoids, and you can see that in the neverending rereleases and flankers Guerlain does for it. This kind of puts it in a unique spot as far as classic perfumes go, because there are thousands of vanilla ambers out there, but as the other anon said, chypres are not popular and don’t really receive a ton of marketing dollars because the only people who buy them are perfume autists and oldfags who wore them when they were still vogue. So yes, it is still a scent that is different from all the rest out there and it is worth at least picking up a decant of the EDP as a reference to expand your palate.
>>18540124I thought the Fraiche flanker was the closest to what Pierre originally envisioned?
I saw some frag tiktoker saying to buy boss absolu over layton pdm, I thought Layton was a freshie summer frag? That's not absolu
I've tried Naxos several times and it's alright, but I don't see how it receives all the hype. It's overly sweet and somewhat immature. Opens and remains bright but the tobacco is really subdued.
>>18540215>I thought Layton was a freshie summer frag?Why would you think that? Anyway, BBA is not really like Layton. It's much more dense and syrupy. If you want a 'designer' Layton get WIB.
>>18540195Well, when you put it that way, I really want to try it now. I was between Mitsouko and Shalimar but now I'm leaning on getting samples of Mitsouko and Heure Bleu instead of Shalimar since I am looking for something more "artistic/autistic" than just something that smells nice/is wearable.
>>18540228reyanne insurection II is better than itbut it's not expensive or recognizable so normies don't buy it

Been wanting to try Jicky for a long time, and now I hear that it's being discontinued, should I just go and blind buy it? A lot of discounters are selling it for around £70.
>>18540259either by>doing big biznis>babushka moneyor>simply stealing it(you can get a full bottle for like 60 bucks at some euro discounters)
>>18540180no but if you haven't noticed by now, this thread is mostly frequented by awkward geeks with no self awareness
>>18540263but enough about you
what's your favourite frag from zoologist? for me? It's squid.
Any cheapies that are sorta like Fougere Royale?

got a bottle of another 13 from lelabo on 9/11idk what else to get, i like their bergamotte 22 for light seasons and patchouli 24 for dark onescan anyone recommend something to try out that smells like an ashtray

>>18540277>I’ve looked at them. I still dont understand
>>18540278>something to try out that smells like an ashtrayjasmin et cigarette maybe
>>18540278i find the tobacco note in guerlain vetiver quite cold and ashy, as opposed to something like polo green where the tobacco is warm and spicy, like an unsmoked cigar
>>18540282Yea, yea I know Im rartedI just dont understand how you autists can tell between fougeres (whatever the fuck that one is too), chypres, woody, smoky, orientals, florals etc.I just go this one is nice or this one is nicer
>>18540180chypres aren't popular anymore, so it actually still stands outit's also not offputting like some really old fragrances because it doesn't have heavy animalics or anything. but YMMV
>>18540287it's experience and paying attention while having a knowledge of genres through aformentioned experience
>>18540261I doubt Guerlain would discontinue Jicky, there will always be an audience for one of the most influential and famous perfumes in history, even if it's not a huge audience anymore
>>18540287if it smells like shaving soap with a lot of lavender, it's usually a fougereif it smells like you're sniffing the forest floor, it's usually a chypre
>>18540273The same as a fougere - a collective delusion crafted by couture marketing departments (ie the private industry professional psyop class) and perpetuated by guilable normgroids and insecure dorks.

>>18539992How are you liking the Mancera stuff?
>>18540297Tonka, Cardamom, GingerLiterally the most attractive combo
>>18540354they're alright, i just use them as my beaters when I don't want to think about what i want to wear. Red tobacco is sweet and smoky; the vanilla drydown is powdery as hell.Amor cafe just smells like coffee and sugar.
which cologne is most glorious now, is it fag dior sauvage still? i was using jean paul gaultier all last year and got hella complements
>>18540383neither of the things you mentioned are colognes
>>18540234Don’t get me wrong, you should be sampling Shalimar too. It’s a very special fragrance, as it was the first Oriental. It’s probably the least autistic of the classic Guerlains but it is still absolutely a work of art and the more you study it the more you’ll realize just how much of modern perfume is just a twist on Shalimar.
>>18540265Snowy Owl was pretty nice. I think it’s cool how they made a mint and coconut fragrance that’s designed for winter. It really reminds me of those super cold sunny winter days where you can smell the crisp freshness of the snow.

Been considering picking up a travel of Orchid Mantis and full bottling it if I really enjoy it. Still need to test (buy) Man-O-War which I’m admittedly very curious about.
>>18540261I found this post in basenotes from almost a year ago claiming jicky has been discontinuedhttps://basenotes.com/threads/jicky-rumor-to-be-discontinued.560046/however jicky is still listed on guerlain's own website, and it's still available for sale from major retailers as well as discountershttps://www.guerlain.com/uk/en-uk/p/les-legendaires-jicky---eau-de-parfum-P014315.htmlso without seeing an official statement from guerlain, i would like to believe they are continuing to produce jicky
>>18540287>Yea, yea I know Im rarted>I just go this one is nice or this one is nicerbased
>>18540278Akro Smoke
>>18540297Lavender, atraric acid and coumarin are the main constituents of the original fougere. I personally think, and Jean claude Ellena will agree, that you can often achieve very interesting results using just a few aromachemicals.
On that note, I believe that presently, at least in mainstream perfumery, this approach to Perfumery is best reflected by Alessandro Gualtieris fragrances. They are exceedingly simple but nonetheless adored by critics, largely in part due to their exceptional tenacity. If I were to recreate his fragrances, at least in an approximative fashion, I would not need more than a handful of A4 pages to fill with formulas to recreate the main corpus of his works, ex: Megamare, terroni, duro etc.
Gualtieri is the Skrillex of fragrance
any clones of this?
>>18540562it's essentially your grandma's hand soap with some screechy aromachemicals
>>18540560skrillex is awesome >>18540564biggest noselet in the thread
I should have bought that Musk Therapy for $280 when I had the chance. I manifested it and then in my hubris denied it and now I'm looking at $340 after taxes from a discounter. I'll probably just buy something else or get a decant I guess.
Why do poors become livid and froth at the mouth over Creed,.Louis Vuitton and Xerjoff on this subreddit?
>>18540405I was tempted to get it for winter but decided to go with talento from mendittorosa since both have that cold sunny winter vibe.>>18540501Penguin I really like but just can't get behind Orchid. Hope Man O War is to your liking, i'm getting a sample of sacred scarab since big amber head.
Take your 2 favorite winter fragrances and your 2 favorite summer fragrances. Those 4 right there, that should be your entire collection. Stop wasting money on useless shit you don't even like that much.>b-but what if I find something I like more later!Then use up your current ones, and only then buy it. Stop being a consoomer zombie.
Fragrances can be blatantly too girly but not vice versa has been my take of the dayadmitting now I feel kind of like a noselet to make this judgement but I mean the hoes could get away with about half of what I wear to be honestI dont mean to suck myself off and derail but is 5 gum also for men only, thats how I came to think about it. Ive been hitting my cousins penjamin too though. I hope I wake up to cool takes, thank you fragrance communitythats just to keep it a buck though
>>18540623if your girl is wearing polo green she's probably hairy as fuck
>>18540623What’s a penjamin? Are you orally pleasing your cousin like Kanye west alleges to have done with his cousin
>>18540621poorfag cope
>>18540627ohhh my god thats temptim>>18540628its a thc pen, also yeah im assuming kanye didnt do that because of how upset he was about the laptop. can we get a load of how just like pitiful he is now though Im assuming hes doing weird shit with the fat dude
>>18540621how in the hell is that a collection, subscribing to the hobby for the smelling good part means you have no reason to collect like I and others enjoy, you just enjoy it different
>>18540621this is unironically true>t. has over 500 full bottles
What determines how much of a formula can be listed as "parfum" vs specific components like linalool, citral, etc.?
>>18540627>she's probably hairy as fuckYou say that like it's a bad thing.
>>18540621i like to smell different throughout the week
>>18540713If they are below a certain threshold and potentially are cause of allergic reactions they need to be declared.
>>18540297Oakmoss, tonka, bergamot
>>18540717For the same reason, I only shower on Sundays.
I got some female pheromones but wont it just attract men???
>started not washing my armpits>women suddenly like being around me moreY'all can keep your "panty-droppers". The French were right once again.Don't overdo it though. There's a fine line between smelling natural and being disgusting.
>>18540587People in these threads, like in all 4chan generals really, dislike what is good, universally pleasant and popular, and instead make it their whole personality to pretend to like what is unpopular, unpleasant and downright bad. See the obsession with terribly dated fragrances that make you smell like a geriatric
>>18540806g8 b8 m8
>>18540823It's true. In the real world people find your aramis and mitsouko nonsense to smell bad and unattractive. The olfactory equivalent to buying a thinkpad or falling for any other 4chan meme really

I tried Prada Paradigme today. It smells like Valentino Born in Roma Intense. Prada really needs Daniela Andrier-Roche back.

>>18540927Yeah but to be fair, Indians are the driving force behind any niche fragrance trend. Without Indians and Arabs, Eros, SWY and Sauvage would be the only European fragrances still on sale.

Got this in the mail today, Kouros Tonique Tattoo edition. Never heard of it until I saw it for sale so I picked it up. First impression is great, it’s very much built around the OG Kouros profile but with a fresh and citrusy top. I find I need to be in the right mood to wear the OG as it’s such a powerful fragrance, but this dials back the rawness and replaces it with something more casual. It’s still Kouros but with a shirt and pants on. Cool fragrance, worth checking out if you’re a fan of the original.

Just got out the shower and did 9 sprays of Rien II on my hairy chest. Life's good fellas
What's your gym/long run fragrance? I've worn out d&g light blue and think it's time to evolve. Don't really wear freshies, they do nothing for me. Been eyeing on Profondo or myslf or something in that sense. Don't rly care for sillage or lasting coz it's only for some hours at a time.

See lot of people comparing both Lalique Pour Homme, and Guerlain Heritage to Creed Bois Du Portugal, which is odd since Lalique Pour Homme and Guerlain Heritage are nothing alike.
>>18541345they're literally 99% the same, you're probably influenced by reading note lists.
How is it? I already have Tobacco Vanille. Is it worth it?
Does this have cacao in it?
>>18541367Pretty sure all of the irisy dior hommes have some of it. Old parfum definitely had it, even though it wasn't listed. Idk about the new one
>>18541345I haven't smelled the Creed, but Lalique is more similar to New York Intense than to HeritageHeritage is heavier on the patchouli and it's not as powdery
>>18541367No, it would be prohibitively expensive to utilize at such a large scale. Looking at previous data regarding the Dior homme line, no cacao aromachemicals are used
>>18541380What are they using for the cacao note then?
>>18541382You can get a pretty decent chocolate note going just using certain patchoulis and vanillin. This is also the case here. Even the notes listed, although usually wrong, still reveal this fact by also mentioning earthiness. In Dior homme there are a few different patchoulis, chiefly one with 65% patchoulol and another decol one. Looking at the formula, I don’t see any of the “traditional” chocolate aromachemicals. I find it a little disappointing that there is such an insistence on “gourmand” notes.
>>18541391Makes sense, patchouli can be really chocolaty
Hey perfumer anon, is the “haunted” Dior batch real or is that just an urban myth? I heard about it a few years ago but I always chalked it off as bs
>>18541391What are typical chocolate aromachemicals?
>>18541422Also, to Perfumanon, assuming you really are Perfumanon, how much of your craft is learned versus inherent skill?Like can -anyone- train their nose to be a perfumer, or are there really people out there that just lack the olfactory capabilities it requires to be a perfumer?
>spritz a bit of ambroxan on Dior Homme 2020>can smell it off skin for hours That's all it was, huh
>ambroxan
>>18541397Technically, Incidents like those are tragic but very uncommon, it would have been wholly uneconomical to shut down all production, especially at such a scale. >>18541422The aromachemicals most frequently utilized in gourmand fragrances to re-create chocolate aromas are isobutyl phenyl acetate (favored by Ellena), Demarchy favors the patchouli and vanillin accord while Thierry Wasser occasionally uses the real thing. Generally speaking you’ll mostly encounter PEA derivatives, Methylxanthines and other such aromachemicals. I myself have used isobutyl phenyl acetate with great success in a very famous sweet fragrance most of you will undoubtedly have heard of. I used it in conjunction with various musks and animalics >>18541424I personally enjoyed a formal education, which was in part while I was able to access certain spheres; I think nothing comes close to a proper education in Grasse or Paris, and even the most gifted individual will not reach his zenith without access to certain molecules and instructors. Perfumery in itself is learnable, the same cannot be said for the creative aspect. If you are not a creative person you won’t be a good perfumer. It takes time, practice and most importantly imagination to create groundbreaking fragrances. I myself have been very fortunate in that regard as I have been drawn to scents ever since boyhood.

Thoughts?
What are some good, cheap leather fragrances?
>>18541628gucci guilty absoluterien
This thing smells like shower gel. For the price, I'd rather get Tobacco and smell like soap.
This shit is GOATED. 125ml for $25 at discounters. Smells like Shulton Old Spice, but good.
>>18541628Do you want a new era photorealistic garment/accessory leather or a classic style leather thats more blended with other notes?
>>18541637It's a good one for sureI don't think there is a better value for this style of scent. Maybe Zino if you consider it similar, but it's not that similar to me. The Lalique is more like New York Intense or Pour Monsieur EDP
>>18541642Preferably new era. I like Tuscan Leather, but I'm not spending anywhere near that much.I also like Rien, but I can't see myself wearing it much as it's a little too unhinged. Maybe I should try Clean Suede.
>>18541637Already a sizable dent in my bottle. Works in any weather.
Ralph's Club New Yorkwhat are you thinking about it?Note breakdown is something that I'd love, but I got burned before
>>18541644Ombre Leather can be found for less than half the price of Tuscan. Arab dupes of Tuscan exist (Yuqawam, Mirsaal of Trust) but they really are a matter of “you get what you pay for”. I think Commodity makes a leather scent as well but I havent tried it
I'M SERIOUS I'M GOING TO KILL MYSELF IF SOMEONE DOESNT EXPLAIN WHY THIS SHIT SMELLS LIKE SHOWER GEL
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
>I am deeply concerned that if this issue is not addressed promptly, I may be compelled to take drastic measures. The persistent odor reminiscent of shower gel is causing significant distress and requires immediate clarification.
>>18541282>What's your gym/long run fragrance?I'm not brown
Any frag or shower gels that smell like this?
>>18541282Bvlgari Man Rain EssenceSuper neutral and inoffensive. I like petrichors and tea scents
i tested some Frederic Malle yesterday. Promise and Vetiver Extraordinaire. i kid you not after 15 hours and a swim later, i could still smell a feint trace on my forearms where i applied them the next morning.are they just good at blending or is it a lot of synthetics?
>>18541637isnt this just bois du portugal?
>>18541630>>18541674What shower gel do you use?
>>18541876This baby belongs to them cloners. What you got here is Kabushiki ambroxan. It's the extreme longevity that gives it away. Those youtubers only focus on the press release. Huh! I should think that you anon would have more respect for the difference between knowledge and... heh heh heh... wisdom.
>>18541630To be fair the og Drakkar Noir formulation smells like an aftershave gel
Best masculine, smoky/incense rose fragrances?
>>18541674>>18541930A lot of shower gels in the past used the Drakkar Noir DNA. Prominent example is DuschDas
>>18541951Prin SaringkarnChanel AntaeusTauer Incense Rose
>>18541464kek good question. that hasn't happened yet but if ever does I'd probably go fragless that day bro
