I ordered a boss bottled unlimited from notino and it got reformulated and it doesn't even smell like pineapple anymore and the bottle is different too. I feel like I got scammed

>try the 30 most popular niche fragrances from brands like Initio, PdM, Creed, Amouage, Roja, ++>they legitimately smell like cheap candles and no trace of masculinity was found whatsoeverwhat the fuck are you guys doing
>>18557515>you guysSpeak for yourself, you’ve worn more than I have.
>>18557521I actually cracked up when she tried to justify the price tags, consider that I know for a fact that niche houses only spend 10-15% more on ingredients at most (!) compared to designer houses. The price difference is primarily due to economics of scale. Meh, I've seen worse. Some wasted their working hours (and by extention life) on NFTs.

Fragrance influencers I know and what I think of them:Jeremy - good but fell off latelyCalCologne - I have slightly same likes as him, unbiased, great recommendations perfumerism - my go to fragrance nerd/autism content, I love her deep dive into notes and stuffFbfragrances- too zoomer taste for me, but a good reviewer, slightly shillOliviaolfactory- Gourmand shill, but I sometimes watch her for her reactionsJimmySniffs- nice collection but meme creator, funny guyFragranceflan- Solid reviewer, but I'm a bit too broke for his stuffCurlyFragrance- Arabslop shill, good reco for clones, nice butt
>>18557534>CurlyFragrance- Arabslop shill, good reco for clones, nice buttShe's literally bought and paid for by Arabs now. Can't take a word she says.
>>18557541T-thats hot
>>18557515>>18557528Perfumeranon is this true?
Guys, I want some genuine advice here. I want to build a fragrance collection of a total 4 fragrances. What would you guys recommend me? I already have Abercombie & Fitch Fierce and it gives me far more compliments than friends wearing Parfum De Marly Layton and Green Irish Tweed by Creed. It's almost empty though. Also, I happen to care about compliments, so keep that in mind. If you've ever had a woman giving you that "ahh omg you smell so good" while hugging you, you understand.
>>18557534I want to marry her
Testing Toy Boy for the first time, still in the first 10 minutes, it’s really weird. There’s something in here that I associate with some kind of herbal aromatic spice topping that would go on a pizza. No fucking clue. Not a typical Pizza Hut or Domino’s pizza though, like, your old nonna’s homemade pie type pizza topping. Still, it’s weird.
>>18557553I don't think she's any of those i mentioned
>>18557523>The price difference is primarily due to economics of scaleno, the price difference is because marketing and gullible retards>>18557533foo-ʃʒeresheep-rah
>>1855753499% - dogshithere, saved you some time>>18557566>I associate with some kind of herbal aromatic spice topping that would go on a pizzaoregano? basil? an herbal aspect of the rose?
>>18557534>Fbfragrances- too zoomer taste for me, but a good reviewer, slightly shillLet me correct thatFbfragrances- MASSIVE Shill, glazes perfumes for a bag, promotes stuff and doesnt disclose its an ad, terrible reviwer no real insights, teenager taste.You can buy that kid for a tenner.
>>18557578>the price difference is because marketing and gullible retardsNiche houses hardly spend a dime on marketing in the first place what are you on about. I agree with the gullible retard comment though.
>>18557575>JusderoseLove her
>>18557579>oregano? basil? an herbal aspect of the rose?Oregano was the first thing that came to my mind, no idea if it shares some chemical element present due to one of the other notes, but it’s not a listed note, not that you can really trust note lists anyway. Maybe an herbal aspect of the rose, but I’ve never heard of that before. I’m also just not very experienced with rose notes, it was part of the reason I decided to sample the frag.
What's the meta on daily fragrances?I use Prada L'homme most days but I need a new suggestion. Have used BDC, Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme and Sauvage in the past. Something in that realm, but maybe a slight step up.
>>18557620If you like the powdery of Prada L'homme maybe Lalique Lion?
>>18557599them being "niche" and "expensive" and "using" "high" "quality" "materials" IS their marketingespecially when morons use these irrelevant terms when discussing said fragrances>>18557607well rose can be done in very many ways with very many compounds and it can smell more floral or sweet or herbal or like rose jam or it can be dry or whatever
as a one spritz guy how long will a 100ml bottle last me?
>>18557650It was definitely something to do with the top notes because after 30-60 min it was completely gone. 2 hours in it’s okay, but it just confirms I don’t care for floral fragrances. Nothing against it, just not for me.
>>18557653It varies from vaporizer to vaporizer, but the general consensus is 1 spay = 100 ul, so that’s roughly 100000 sprays.
>>18557653~800days
My unspoken fear is I die before all my bottles run out
>>18557693Get to spraying.
>>18557599A lot of “niche” houses only get traction because they send free testers to famous fragrance “influencers”. That’s their marketing, giving people free slop so they’ll talk good about it, and it only costs them 3 bucks or so because that’s what nicheslop costs, even the pidgeon does it and he larps as ultra niche, something perfumeranon would surely tell you if his NDA didn’t have a clause stating that (((they))) are going to ruin his life if he talks about it. Wake up man it’s all slop, the only fragrance you need is Drakkar noir or bdc

What am I in for?
>>18557650Rose flowers themselves have several different aromas, some more musky, some citrusy, some like tea, some sweet.
Got a sample of this, was really looking forward to it and wanted to like it. Imagine my disappointment when I found that it's a really pissy honey smell.
i just sprayed sauvage elixir and a woman climbed through my window trying to having sex with me

The current best men's fragrance or just a pretty bottle?
>>18557792Boucheron Pour Homme EDP is somewhat similar in the dry down with rose, amber, and sandalwood, though it's powdery citrus opening is obviously very unlike those.Great performance and very cheap from discounters.
>>18557252Isn't it very similar to Myslf?
Look what came in da mail :)
>>18557839blind or tested buy?
>>18557839deez nuts
>>18557549Can someone fucking help with this?
>>18557578I can't think of any language where the sound /ʃʒ/ exists, fougere is pronounced /fuʒɛʁ/.>>18557653>>18557656100ul are .1ml, so 10 sprays per ml, so a 100ml bottle would contain 1000 sprays.In my experience you get roughly that many or a bit more, but yeah, it depends on the specific bottle.
>>18557915Why do you need more? The Abercrombie is already a winning strategy for you goals. It works for everything.
>>18557620You've already churned through everything that is worth acquiring a full bottle of in the first place.
>>18557916the sound exists in pronouncing the word fougereat least I mix both at once when saying it
>>18557620Allure Homme Sport (not the EE). Prada Luna Rossa Black. Chanel Platinum Egoiste. Versace Pour Homme. YSL L'Homme Le Parfum.
>>18557599Niche houses typically don't buy online ad space, but they spend enormous amounts of money on marketing like any other luxury goods brand.Logo design, bottle design, pictures, copy, viral marketing, stands at fairs and trade shows...>>18557702>that's what nicheslop costsEvery frag costs in that order of magnitude to manufacture, though, if anything, some niche brands' juice costs more than most designers'.>>18557915>I want girls to think I smell goodDifferent people like different things, read the infographics at the beginning of the thread or buy Savage EDT.
>>18557923>I mix bothI'm afraid you're either pronouncing it wrong or you don't know what /ʃʒ/ sounds like (the sh from sheep followed by the s from pleasure).
>>18557931>Every frag costs in that order of magnitude to manufacture, though, if anything, some niche brands' juice costs more than most designers'. Niche price is one thing, but I don't think they smell more pleasant on average. They're overdoing it, trying to reinvent the wheel and be "different". Designer houses and their parent companies have way more $$$ to spend on R&D to get it right in the first place.
>>18557940>more $$$ to spend on R&D to get it right in the first placeSomehow they get endless duds, they can just afford to pump out mediocrity until something sticks.
>>18557931>niche brands' juice costs more than most designers'.Supposedly what ingredient?
>>18557515Next time ask in this thread which brands are slop, we would have saved you a lot of time
>>18557656>>18557916Holy shit my math was shameful. Yeah, it’s 1000 sprays, ignore >>18557656.
>>18557950economies of scale probably a bigger factor for many smaller niche houses, like any artisan product compared with mass produced
>>18557984It's true for tiny artisanal brands, not for pseudo-niche mass market behemoths like PdM
>>18557988yeah maybe that is the case, i don't know specifically about the finances or business model of each niche house like pdm or xerjoff, i'm sure some are ripping people off, but others notrogue are quite reasonably priced for example, imho
Tom Ford Lost Cherry and Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt are both fking disgusting
>>18557988>pseudo-niche mass market behemoths like PdM>PdM>founded in 2009>bottle says 1743>rajeev, dylan and chang consider themselves tasteful now >ingredients are 99.7% identical to designer fragrances >that'll be $460 saar>transfer of wealth takes places>secludes himself inside and occasionally sniffs the bottle
>>18558000But enough about Sultan Pasha and Russian Adam.
Is my nose broken in if think imagination, afternoon swim, aventus, sauvage, bleu de chanel and layton all have the same base scent profile after the initial opening I legitimately cannot tell the difference outside of some being a tiny bit sweeter
>>18557999guerlain petit robe noire is a great cherry frag
>>18558018no they're all generic ambroxan sloppa that smell the same once the opening is gone
>>18558021you don't even know what ambroxan smells like
>you don't even know what ambroxan smells like
>>18558018Yes, it's "broken". Bleu de Chanel, Aventus, Sauvage, etc. smell nothing alike. Neither in the opening or dry-down.
>>18558033>it's all the same generic abroxan-slop
>>18558034all ambroxan base frags smell the same in the dry down
>>18558037They don't. Your nose is actually broken if you perceive them that way, I'm not memeing. They have really distinct DNAs despite beloning to the same groups or overlapping groups. Even normies can smell the difference between Dior Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel in the air.
>>18558042>Even normies can smell the difference between Dior Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel in the air.no they can't don't be silly
>>18558045Yes they 100% can if they've smelled it before. You even see this in fragrance street test interviews. >"is that bleu de chanel omg">"smells like dior sauvage, my ex used to wear that"
>>18558018>>18558033>>18558037>>18558045The reason why they smell the same or predominantly smell like abroxane is because you've gone nose blind. You predominantly smell abroxane because it's a synthetic. What you all have in common is that you're too low IQ to realise something so basic and obvious.
>they smell the same to you because you're noseblind>they smell the same to you because they're synthetic>they smell the same to you because you're low IQjust admit it's a shitty replacement for traditional fixatives
>>18558056Just admit that you have schizophrenia.
>>18558057grow up
>>18558056the problem isn't the ambroxan though lmao how dense can you be you're not smelling the whole scent profile like those around you because you're too up close and can't identify and distinguish the "natural" notes anymore
>>18558058And so what would you replace ambroxan with? No seriously.
>>18558053I mean I only asked because I just bought a bunch of samples for the first time after only using 1 million lucky for years and half of them smelled the same so idk how I could’ve gone nose blind comparing them all
>>18557534You should watch general fashion YouTubers if you really need to watch someone's take on fragrance, all "fragrance YouTubers" are chopped + shills. perfumerism is good, though.
>>18558064You should spray them on someone else and lurk around them.
Whats the least indian frag?
>>18558072Indians generally shy away from Tom Ford for some reason
I love fragrances so much. It's such a unique way to express your personality. Only if you wear fragrances you actually enjoy wearing though. Just a small little uplifting thing that adds moments of joy to my life.
>>18558077source?
>>18558077idk i can see them bathing in oud wood
>>18557839>>18557843How does it compare to Tauer?
>>18558072Anything by Comme des Garcons except for that one Indian incense one.
Do there exist a Chanel fragrance for men that isn't worn by indians?
>>18558087I'm so sorry.
I've interestingly enough never smelled Dior Sauvage on an Indian.
>>18558087I've never smelled one wearing Egoiste. I don't think they understand it.
>>18558091Egoiste is Indian pastry shop in a bottle and probably smells too familiar to them.
>>18558090I've smelled Sauvage Elixir on pajeets here.
I got a bottle of Dior Fahrenheit. I'm pretty sure many are familiar with it. It starts deceptively with quiet watery green notes before slowly growing more masculine, spicier, and leathery. I even get some gentle sweetness from the florals almost vanillic. Surprisingly it smells quite modern and not outdated even when I vividly remember adults wearing it when I was younger. It's never harsh, and the scent is quite unique. Projection is okish, the longevity is respectable. I tried it the first time in the heat and it became quite aggressive and intense, trying it now in cooler weather it's quite muted. I don't know if this is a universal experience and the source of the name or just because it was the first time. I plead ignorance.captcha: GAS4K
>>18558101It's a masterpiece. It drops panties like crazy but is complex enough to not feel like a tool for wearing it. >>18557549 This is what you want
>>18558083Well, that’s a bottle of fragrance, an inanimate object, and Tauer is a person, so pretty different. In all seriousness though, which Tauer? Lonestar Memories? At least specify the fragrance don’t just name the perfumer.
>>18558110LADDM or Ambre Sultan if you have tried either
>>18558101I also got a bottle of L'Artisan Perfumeur Tubereuse. It start a bit sweet and gummy with a hint of that floral floor cleaner. It smells clean and soapy but I did have a tuberose soap which could have influenced that perception. It's quite feminine but has a bit of funkiness and resin that keeps it slightly wearable for a man. It project nicely at first and lasts but turns a bit into a lotion-like scent.
>>18558087antaeus?
>>18558125Hmm, you might be on to something.
all 3 new pdm extraits suck and they want $550 USD for 100ml
>>18557361Is the FragNet top discount still 45%
>>18558138lmao
>>18558138In all seriousness guys, who the fuck are buying this stuff? Rich people are too intelligent with money to fall for this shit.
>>18558138>>18558148>>18558152It's okay to just admit you're poor, and brown. You don't need to cope like this.
