The Fragrance Flowchart for Beginners
Out of my last 20 samples, I most enjoyed the new Terre. I don’t think the coffee is overdone whatsoever I actually think it blends nicely. Just bought like 30 more samples which are on the way. Has anybody smelled anything from Nissaba, Hima Jomo, Olympic Orchids?
>>18559085>new Terrenice, anything else that you liked?>Nissaba, Hima Jomono, keep us posted>Olympic Orchidsyes, Night Flyer (the OG Zoologist Bat) and Woodcut (smells exactly as advertised) are pretty good and relatively cheap

>>18559238Dude, you're way too angry to be living a good life.
>>18559244He calls literally anyone who disagrees with his double digit iq views, a curry. He's actually a textbook example of someone with ASPD, not even shitposting rn. He sees curry everywhere and curry lives rent-free in his head.
>>18559244>>18559245>T. Is in league with nicolaitranny to shit up the thread worse than the Ganges River
>>18559245>>18559253Yeah I see what you mean. I hate jeets as much as the next guy but this is some weird next level shit. Maybe he's secretly a self hating jeet, who else would even think so often about such lowly creatures?
>>18559257He literally spams up every thread with off-topic curry rant. He would artifically create pajeets and import them to his country and bedroom just to have something to complain about and then bitch and moan and cry about it to us.
>>18559253Why do you post insulting things towards pajeets in every fragrance thread? Genuinly curious.
We need a new, non Indian general sort of like they did with avatarfags in wt
>>18559263Literally everyone is annoyed by you and you're too dense to realise. ASPD.

>>18559265Curious. Why do you do it?

Stop posting indians eating shit you fucking aspie
Wow another fragrance thread ruined by /pol/ shit. Literally sub-saharan behaviour.
>>18559271He's is quite literally too stupid to realise. He thinks he's the shit, just like people in the projects ruining everything for everyone else.
>stinkjeet is trying to feign ignorance about the fact that it posted /pol/ tier racebait firstAnd you do it in every other general on this board.I sincerely hope the train kills you slowly, inbred.
>>18559275I'm neither a pajeet, nor have I posted race-bait in any /frag/-general. Nontheless, I hope you commit suicide (I don't worry about your dogshit ugly face reproducing, you're just not worth the air you're breathing). You know I'm right, you should go ahead and do it.
>>18559280stop giving attention to the pajeet schizo
>>18559280He's mentally ill, just leave it.
You’re not gonna achieve much here seeing as the most prominent posters on here are an Indian that posts bmwf content, and a tranny obsessed with Patricia de nicolai, go to some other thread
>>18559285Kill yourself.

>>18559286You first, maybe you’ll be reborn as an Indian
>>18559289I take back my previous comment. You should purchase some Roja fragraces instead, they're really good. You should buy several if you want to be perceived as someone with taste, and you are nothing short of tasteful, right?

>>18559270>>18559275why do so many fucking Indians die to trains? Do they seriously think as long as they're not standing directly on the tracks the locomotive won't hit them? kek

>>18559330I'm not a tranny but I would probably let one suck me off if they looked like a girl, idk it's hard to say. Not that one though, that just looks like a dude sorry. Drakkar noir sucks

>>18559330>coomer mutt is bisexualNo wonder why he can't live in normal life
>>18559338Drakkar Noir, like Fougère Royale, is one of the prototypes of Fougère.. It's pretty impressive that's still avaibable.
Why do Influencer hate on flankers so much, i mean if its better its better who cares?
>>18559364Idk a lot of people dislike flankers, especially if the og is recent, they can be pretty good but they're usually either less balanced than the original like guerlain l'homme ideal flankers or have nothing to do with the original at all like boss bottled absolu

Is Mercedes Benz Club Black actually good? I recently got Lattafa Eclaire and it smells amazing, like a toffee vanilla donut, but as a guy I don't know if it's too feminine leaning for me to wear. I heard that Club Black is basically just a more male leaning vanilla?

I'm not a fan of SWY Intensely because it smells like chestnuts and is "sugary" in a way I don't really likeLMLP and Elixir are nice imo, Parfum is better and classier but they have that note that makes me really enjoy getting whiffs of them throughout the day, not sure what it is. Le Beau was alright too, Paradise Garden was too aquatic and fig-centricHaven't tried other staple designer gourmands, which ones should I check out?
Considering the popularity of “edible smelling” fragrances, especially in this chat room, I believed it interesting to look at the most popular gourmands and the key aroma chemicals that define the gourmand family. The first true gourmand, Angel, exists because of Ethyl maltol. Olivier Cresp balanced it with patchouli. Vanillin, ethyl vanillin, and Ultravanil form the backbone of this style, while coumarin adds a tonka note, seen in the pie accords of Oajan, Ambre Narguilé, and Angel’s Share.Heliotropin or Piperonal (now banned) brings distinct almond powder (together with benzaldehyde which also contributes to cherry accords) facets as in Hypnotic Poison. Maltol, furaneol, and caramel lactone create caramelized sugar notes found in Prada Candy and Pink Sugar. Meanwhile, Lactones such as gamma undecalactone, gamma nonalactone (famously used in Virgin island water) and delta-decalactone all get utilized with different butyrates to create creaminess and texture certain fruit accords. Certain Pyrazines like acetyl pyrazine and cyclotene add nutty notes. The most famous nutty aromachemical is filbertone: both incredibly powerful and very reminiscent of hazelnut it is employed whenever one seeks to recreate the aroma of a very famous chocolate hazelnut spread. Another famous aromachemical is phenylacetic acid. Used to create the aroma of honey, together with azarbre, coumarin and certain floral modifiers, It is also used to make crystal meth. I am presently working on a fragrance that could be defined as “gourmand”, so if you have any questions regarding this particular family of fragrances ask now while I am in midst of this particular project.
>>18559571Gourmands are definitely non white coded, that I know for sure
>>18559610You’re wasting your breath, 90% of this chat is Indians or troons that can’t even begin to comprehend what you’re talking about, that’s why your posts never get any engagement, atp just stop man
>>18559181Got a sample of this today to compare against my Mystery Tobacco sample. They're quite similar, but>The opening of RT smells a bit more 'oily' than MT, and that oily smell lasts a lot longer than MT>A lot of Fragrantica review mention the RT drydown starting after 30 minutes. It's more like 60-90 minutes>Once the oily smell has dried off it is a very pleasant and sweet fragrance. Very similar to MT>RT is more than 1/2 the price of MTIn all likelihood I'm probably going to spend £235 on a bottle of Mystery Tobacco, just for the fact that I could smell the petrochemical type opening of Red Tobacco for a lot longer, and it's offputting.
>>18559318I smirked.
>>18559610What are your favorite masculine gourmands?
>>18559271>/pol/ boogeyman. Then go back to preddit, you literal little fucking faggot. everyone's sick of people like you and sick of brown skin.

>>18559645Paco Rabanne Pour Homme
>>18559627Update: 6 hours after I sprayed RT on it's starting to fall apart and won't last much longer. Mystery Tobacco sticks around for 10+ hours.
>>18559621What makes you a perfume connoisseur? Like why should I keep taking your advice? Everything you've recommend so far has been mediocre and outright unjustifiable when factoring in the price. Recommend something worthwhile for a change. Name two "objectively" excellent fragrances.
>>18559621>lil bro cant stop thinking about jeets and troons
>>18559710He seems to get a lot of pleasure from dehumanizing indians. They're not human beings in his world view.
Du guys buy vintage or discontinued fragrances? is there a way to find out what a resanable price for a certain fragrance is, i can find pic related for 30 to 250 bucks, but i dont want to overpay or get a fake one.Also what is a "must have" vintage or discontinued fragrances in ur opinion, old formulations included
What is /frag/'s opinion on Le Labo The Noir 29?I'm so torn between this and Terre d'Hermes as my signature scent for this fall!
>>18559719Have you pulled the trigger on any of them yet? There is a massive price gap.
>>18559645>masculine gourmands
>>1855962170% of this thread including you (but not me) are disgusting jeets pushing tiktok "niche" slop & 30% are socially crippled mutt shut-in incel losers thinking they're being "unique" and "contrarian" by wearing bottom-shelf-at-Walmart shit like Drakkar Noir, Brut, and CK Obsession
>>18559719It has gotten me the most unsolicited compliments from women at bars, churches, airports, events etc while I'm traveling for work out of my whole collection. Second is believe it or not Dior Homme 2020
>>18559746but spending your whole life in a general that you hate is perfectly normal healthy behaviour right?
i'm sorry millennial, in the real world the zoomer wearing ultra male gets the girl while the guy with the trucker cap, limited edition af1's and the equestrian themed oud frag goes home alone.

The real issue is getting watered down or cloned juice.>"must have" vintage or discontinued fragrancesI have very peculiar taste and I don't think you can be objective about fragrances but the most inoffensive and people pleasing stuff I have are Mugler Cologne, Armani Mania, and Gucci PH2.

>>18560200Oh yeah that hits the spot
>>18560256Vintage is the biggest rabbit hole, just remember that perfumes degrade. The further back you go the less detectable or fresh the top notes stay, the base notes are usually fantastic however. I would make a budget and list, vintage can get expensive but if you have a small list of things you want to get vintages of it can be fun.

Can someone recommend me a nice apple and musk scent?
>>18560382Pretty sure it takes decades for top notes to fade and it depends on how well it's stored
>>18560393>Everything prior to 2005 is two decades old.
>>18560400So? I was just clarifying how things worked. I've seen faggots online saying they don't have big collections because "frags go bad in a year or two" and shit like that
>>18560406>I've seen faggots online saying they don't have big collections because "frags go bad in a year or two" and shit like thatWhich is actually the thinking man's position to hold.
>>18560408Having a small collection is good. Having a small collection based on completely incorrect facts is retarded
>>18560393>depends on how well it's storedWhen you buy vintage you have to assume the worse since there is no standard or way of knowing. It's not that they disappear it's that they become at best very brief and at worst off-putting.>>18560406Manufacturers can't guarantee their perfumes for life, I think 5 years is the most they recommend. I have one that's even written on the bottle. It's not like they are useless after that time but you can't expect the same performance as when it was brand new, especially with the top notes.>I was just clarifying how things worked.lmao you have no idea how things work
Noir Extreme Parfum is the fucking best scent there is. No questions asked
>>18560427Lemme guess>mineralic>metallic>green apple
>>18560421I don't think you've even owned a frag for 5 years. Go back to TikTok zoomie
>>18560452You're being so dismissive towards anyone with an opinion that differs from your own. There exists a word for it.
>>18560465Well, the word for you is faggot.
>>18560452I have owned fragrances for longer than you have been alive. Go be a baby somewhere else.
>>18560467No worries, I didn't expect you to self-reflect.
>>18560442I've grown tired of it. I need something more smooth, rounded. NEP is a bit harsh, not sure which notes give me that impression
In what situations do you want to smell like a dirty indian spice market?

>>18560529Heritage EDTL'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme EDT
Thoughts on Lubin perfumes? Specifically korigan, Idole, Idole eau de parfum, and akkad? Are they worth checking out, they have good ratings on fragnatica.
>>18560546masstige trash
>>18560548Would you say the price does not match its quality or its too close to existing designer frags to be considered "niche"?
>>18560551They smell like average shower gel frags while charging an arm and a leg.
>>18560529Just be aware that Guerlain doesn't do 'heavy' frags they are all classy and understated, so if you're looking for anything 'beast mode' you're going to be disappointed.However, all of their frags do indeed smell fantastic and well crafted.For the cooler seasons you can't go wrong with Heritage.
What's the best designer fragrance with mass appeal to women?
>>18560589Versace Eros (unironically)
>>18560588I guess what I mean by "heavy" isn't really "beast mode projection" or anything like that just a scent that can get cloying or a bit too much in warm/hot weather
>>18560589any dior sauvage
>>18560589Good genetics and being dangerous
YSL Y EDP.
>>18560505I only break it out during autumn and winter. And sparingly between uses. I live for the ginger note
>>18560589Literally anything from Jean Paul Gaultier if you're under the age of 25. Le Male Le Parfum works on adults as well.
>>18560602>Le Male Le Parfum works on adultskek
>>18560551Get your hands on some Areej dawg
>>18560593NTA but I will give you my thoughts on a Guerlain for winter>Habit Rouge lineI thought the Parfum was too vanillic/patchouli and cloying. It genuinely smelled feminine to me. The Habit Rouge Prive was good, but it would work best in fall. It is a suedey chypre like fragrance with only a bit of sweetness. The EDT is probably not what you’re working for as it is more all-seasons, but you should sample it to get a baseline.>L’Homme Ideal lineI think the recent Parfum is the best of this line and would work well in winter. The Extreme is the most similar but a little too sweet. Avoid the EDT and EDP in my opinion. Intense is also fine.>L’Instant lineNot my favorite personally, but a lot of people like LIDGE>OthersHeritage EDP is very good for cold weather, Derby is too hard to find now, Lui is too hard to findGuerlain as a brand is kind of better suited for vintage fragrance people. Their modern fragrances really aren’t that special in my opinion — but if you insistent you’re gonna get a cold weather Guerlain you should sample Heritage EDP, L’Homme Ideal Parfum, and Habit Rouge Prive
So I kind of gave up of fragrances since no woman has ever commented on how I smell. That said, thoughts in givenchy gentleman? I like how it smells and just need something cheap and reliable.
>>18560614Boisee is absolutely the best Gentleman of the recent line up. And yes my gf has said she likes it.The EDT is too fruity and boring, the Reserve Privee is too a blatant rip of Dior Homme. The Cologne flanker was discontinued but it was good. The Gentleman Society fragrances are nice, Extreme being the best, but they aren’t as good as the iris line up that preceded it. You will not like the original Gentleman because your balls aren’t big enough and you need validation from women. The original Gentleman is a patchouli powerhouse for stronger men than you.
>>18560529If you’re in the US Guerlain is impossible to test in person unless you live in one of the major metropolitan areas like NY or LA because they basically only exist in Guerlain specific boutiques. EU on the other hand has them in most every department and make-up store, at least for the main line frags.
>>18560614A lot of women have recommended me Gentlemen Reserve Privee and told me that it's amazing on guys but I don't get it. Neither on skin or clothing.
Percival is the best summer PDMHerod is the best winter PDM
>>18560384it's so good. get myself a 50ml bottle last week. i'll probably get GITS some time next year in the spring. so comforting
>>18560646>the best pdm frags are just clones of fierce and tobacco vanillevery telling
>>18560392off the top of my head, Greenley comes to mind. Aventus and D&G Light Blue Intense too, though the apple isn't as prominent.
>>18560588the l'art et la matiere line can be heavy. Tobacco honey is heavy and cloying as they come, but i like it
You have to test this on skin. On paper it smells totally different. Long lasting, warm, vanilla forward,cozy, love this stuff
>>18559415>>18559564>>BdC ParfumWhat's the performance? Does it project well? Does it last long? Lets say when compared to Sauvage EDP, or Gisada Ambasador or some clones like CDNIM?
>>18560700Similar to Sauvage EdP on performance and projection. Idk BdC lasts for 24 on me irrespective if flanker.
>>18560687gits is what i imagine the major smells like
Is buying clones of more expensive frags cringe or based? What are the best clones in your opinion?
>>18560703Wouldn't getting Lexclusive be a play for performance? Or does it smell way different than the rest?
>>18560708>Is buying clones of more expensive frags cringe or based?neither>What are the best clones in your opinion?personally i avoid anything middle eastern
Best frag for a 30 year old laborer from the northwoods that works outside all day?
>>18560712I'm going to be honest with you as a big fan of Chanel as men's fragrance house. L'exclusif smells too similiar to the EdP and Parfum. It struck me as a cash-grab when I first smelled it. It's redundant to own l'exclusif if you already have the EdP or Parfum. I could justify the purchase if you own the EdT or happen to be a big Bleu fan. I personally prefer the EdT and the EdP. EdT morning/day and EdP for evenings/night.
>>18560712>>18560721I should add that Jacques Polge created Bleu EdT and EdP while his soon Olivier took the dna and created the Parfum and L'exclusif. It's quite easy to notice the philosophical difference between the two and I much prefer Jacques' creations.
>>18560716YSL Y EdP or Versace Pour Homme would be excellent for your everyday use.
>>18560721>>18560726Unrelated party to the conversation, but I too own the L’Exclusif and am underwhelmed. It’s not bad, it’s just… not interesting enough compared to the predecessors, especially at an upcharge.
>>18560737>It’s not bad, it’s just… not interesting enough compared to the predecessors, especially at an upcharge.Precisely. Well put.
I avoid european clones like a plague, you pay grands for a shitty longevity and sillage.Best house for me is Maison Alhambra, followed by Fragrance World. Megara (Megamare) is my fav clone right now
>>18560753Didnt even knew they were a thing
>>18560610I would never buy Areej but every time you see who the customers are of any perfume are they are the grossest looking normalfags. I guess it takes a specific kind of person to go "I want my appearance associated with this perfume".

>>18560779Nobody doing manual labour ever wore Yatagan.
>>18560716Another 13 smells sexy on a sweaty manAnd I'm not even gay
>>18560782What an insane thing to claimHow could you possibly ever know that. You people are hopeless
Does Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme project at all?
>>18560793>You peopleget out
>>18560546Idole is a $250 original, but you can get Bentley for men Intense for $60. I've had both. Idole is better, but only slightly, and Bentley Intense is much better than its price point. It's a strong winter time spicy woody scent. I think it's quite strong on the leather too. >>18560697It's a very nice high quality cheapie with a less than average longevity. It's surprisingly light for its notes and very easy to wear.>>18560708>clonesAlways a gamble because they are all blind buy. Asad was particularly good, but only if you already know what the Elixir smells like.>>18560716you need something that will complement the smell of earth, greens, and sweat. Coach Green with that kiwi note should cut through that sweat smell, but you still get fresh Earthy rosemary and lavender with a Cedar base.
>>18560589myslf
Wore CdG Kyoto today, very fresh and light cedar.
Bros recommend me a similar fragrance accord to this one. Budget isn't an issue for me, this has been my signature for years but the longevity is bad and I think they're reformulating it since the newer batches smell different.

it's a l'eau bleue d'issey pour homme kinda day
>>18560855>veganDo they use synthetic musk?
>>18560935All musk is synthetic, well “technically” seeing as petrochemicals used to be a decaying T-Rex or something
>>18560937>All musk is syntheticNot my attars
>>18560855If you don't mind a hint of vanilla
>>18560990>hintIt 90% vanilla
>>18560855Based fellow low cost signature bro
>>18560990>hintit doesnt have vanilla
What fragrances do you guys consider Non-beginner friendly, meaning that someone who is not intensely familiar with fragrances might either not understand or find difficult to like.
>>18561016fecal tincture
>>18561016I tried black oud by montale as a beginner, that was something.Rose, oud, civet, musk in general really, gun powder, the "artsy" stupidly niche stuff like blood accord that one etat de libre perfume springs to mind but i forget the name
>>18561016It actually took me a while to understand La Nuit De L'Homme.
>>18560942especially your attars
>>18561108The bottle costs literally $1.25 to make though...
