Is Azzaro Most Wanted Parfum a safe blind buy if you really enjoy the EDP Intense?
>>18580437Yeah, the whole line is relatively similar. I haven’t sniffed that one in a while but it should be safe. If you already own the intense I think they’d be redundant tho.
>>18580430
SOTD: Prada Ocean Le ParfumI like this stuff, smells beachy without using obvious solar notes or ylang ylang. Very realistic ambergris with saffron. Gf thought it was just ok.
I have a specific problem. I like the lavender in Libre, but it's obviously a feminine fragrance. I used to wear it as sample only, Do I just buy the bottle if I really like it? please recommend me good masculine lavender perfumes that aren't straight out aromatic fougeres. >MYSLF is good but it's too citrusy/bright for me and has no lavender.

>>18580556Iris/violet
>>18580563That’s an interesting request. I would use Ambroxan, rose oxide, Calone, Cis 3 hexenol, Cyclamen aldehyde, Undecavertol, floralozone, helional, Eucalyptol, allyl amyl glycolate, seaweed absolute, Evernyl, oakmoss Givco and norlimbanol. This is the most “bare bones” accord I can come up with although I’d suggest using some citrus type modifiers like Dihydromyrcenol, aldehyde c10 etc…
>>18580556Honey.
>>18580494Thanks. Will try to get my hands on it once I finished my current winter frag. Actually my current one's (picrel) still feminine, passed down by my mother to me. It's too old-fashioned for her taste but I guess I can rock it.
>>18580575That’s a lot of materials, but what kind of percentages are we talking about here? I’m not asking exact numbers, but like if it were that singular accord in a bottle, is it 50% ambrox, I can’t imagine it’s everything in equal measure, especially with such contrasting materials like Rose Oxide and Seaweed Absolute.
>>18580551Do you consider anything else from TF to be maybe worth it? For me it's this, NE + parfum, the orchids, Everything else I tried was too ghastly, really dated, or very basic

>>18580574To me violet is a very tragic note seeing as methyl heptine carbonate, prominently featuring in Dior Fahrenheit and to a lesser extent the original 1980s version of green Irish tweed. It and methyl octine carbonate have been prohibited for use in category 4 fragrances. It was the backbone behind many of the more potent masculine fragrances of the 1980/90s. To create a violet accord that is non IFRA compliant (and to my nose far more beautiful) you need the Ionones, chiefly Alfa, beta and Dihydro beta Ionone (the latter of which has a wonderful woody note also found in my favorite oud base) and violiff by IFF, for the green fresh backbone you can use trace amounts of methyl octine carbonate and undecavertol paired with leaf alcohol (cis 3 hexenol) When I re-create the aroma of a flower I tend to also include the stem and leaves instead of just focusing on one part. Again, this is the most basic accord I can think of, I tend to discuss the most simple to create accords on here in hopes that one day a young budding perfumer will read and recreate them, this is also why I hardly ever discuss captives. I’d like you guys to start perfuming.
Regarding Iris I have to say that it can be taken many ways. The most famous of all irises is probably the iris pallida, produced in the Florentine hills under the name “giaggiolo”. to re-create this particular Iris note, which in my view is the most beautiful among all varieties, you will need Isoraldeine 95, Ionone alpha and beta, hexyl cinnamaldehyde, Verdox (prominent apple note in oajan, Ambre narghile and apple brandy) and Ionone type ketones, in a lower dose Lyral, Cyclosal, Florosa, Lilial and other muguet type materials can also help the flower to “bloom” although nowadays you mostly use Florol for that, see zarokian for amouage and her smart dosing of Florol in her attars. You also need the irones, chiefly among which Irone Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Methyl Ionone Alpha Iso/Methyl Ionone Gamma. Givaudan makes a wonderful orris base I also use on occasion when I don’t want to create a specific iris accord. There are a few woody floral modifiers that can also be introduced to round the entire accord, although that mostly depends on what you’d like the base notes to be, to smooth the transition between evaporation curves >>18580577Honey is a very interesting note to me that has gained much prominence these last few years heavily featuring in some of guerlains offerings. Honey is one of these materials that you can take in a lot of different directions seeing as it’s volatile aroma compounds and chemical makeup differ from beehive to beehive, depending on what flowers were used to make the honey. There are a few key components that exist in every honey accord tho, those being Azarbre and Phenylacetic acid (also used to make crystal meth). According to Jean Claude Ellenas diary of a nose, these are the only aroma chemicals needed to convincingly re-create a Honey Accord, and despite my approach to Perfumery being very different to his I would agree.
>>18580672How to make a long lasting frankincense/olibanum without any supportive notes (like no cedar, elemi, cypress, florals) ?
>>18580672Mango
>>18580581Most of the materials I mentioned are going to be dosed between 1 and 0.001% given their extraordinary tenacity and longevity. In Profvmum romas acqua di sale, the seaweed absolute is dosed at 0.004% for example, just to give you an idea how potent some aromachemicals can be. I think the dosage needs to be determined by the Perfumer himself, there are a couple of guidelines that can help but keeping a future perfumer in mind, I’d like to not spoil too much so they can experiment themselves and find the right ratios.>>18580609In my experience, the sudoriferous aromas exhibited by men and women differ greatly. I don’t know what Nathalie hershlags armpits or feet smell like so I can only give you a general guideline on how to recreate female body odors. The most feminine musk of all is Velvione, you can take this a clean floral direction using ethyl Linalool, Florosa etc. if you’d like to take it an animalic direction like used gym socks you can use the famous animalis base (6% in the original kouros) and cumin, cuminaldehyde, civettone and certain fatty acids, isovaleric and butyric acids, you can also use certain thiazoles or Mercaptans. Since you still want it to lean feminine also use floral fruity musks like Ambrettolide.
Question for ausf(r)agswhere do you even get these niche fragrances from? chemist whorehouse and terry white stock the generic big brand shit.Are we restricted to buying online?
i boughted. Will review once it arrives.>tfw price went $110 to $160 t-thanks president
The search for a wearable, individual natural modern scent continues... Simple, natural ingredients, not chemical smelling like TdH, fresh but classical, masculine yet not 90s businessman. NYI too heavy, Eau Sauvage too dated, AdP too generic
>>18580474Beau de Jour. I don't consider it to be a fougere despite what others say.Kenzo Homme Santal Marin has lavender, but I'm not sure I care for it.
>>18580772Fougere Royale, BdJ, Caron PuH, Aventus, Chanel Pour Monsieur, Guerlain Vetiver... there's a lot of options really.
oh my GOD this shit is soooo beautiful senpai>i only like le fougere i am hypermasculine. ugh is that parfum de marly? i only like obscure and cheap barbershop fragrances because im a compensating manletjust STFU and try this
I love realistic smelling fragrances with green notes, sadly this is so feminine.
>>18580672 tell me about hedione as a jasmine note. why isn't it used more if not for cheap marketing as it's the closest thing we've found to a synthetic pheromone to attract women
>>18580584Oud Wood is very decent. Everything else I've tried smelled like something out of a chemical lab. I'll maybe try the neroli portofino tomorrow.
>>18580813It was already weak with shit projection and the new formula made it even worse in this aspect.

>>18580940Yes>>18580946Where do you buy Arab fragrances bro?
>>18580948At the market. There are a few shops selling Arab fragrances around the area too.
>>18580951Darn lucky mf. I can only order Arab fragrances online. The ones selling here has a physical shop but it's too far from home. My current fav is the Oud Rosa from Al Haramain and I'm on a quest to find something oudy I wore in middle school, I think it's discontinued though.

>>18581090Comme des Garcons
>>18580551Very similar to Amauge Interlude.
>>18581090I associate black dudes with LV Ombre Nomade. I remember first smelling it and reminding me of my black coworker. He practically showers in it all day and I even smell like him after my shift so much that my girlfriend thought I was hooking up with him.
>>18581090Old Spice?
>>18581090Black people actually wear fragrance unlike most other groups so you get a lot of variety except black women who wear BR540 clones like every other women. In the city you can walk by maybe one white person wearing fragrance, but if you're in a black area every other black person is wearing fragrance. Not to mention black people overspray so you're more likely to smell them.
>>18581050Yet another victim of IFRA rule change?
>>18581140Which rule change?
>>18580676Frankincense is a relatively difficult now to have by itself without any supporting molecules, but you can definitely create something very long, lasting. When creating an incense fragrance you must first select what variety you want. The most prized species is Boswellia sacra, particularly from Oman and Yemen, (which prominently feature in amouages compositions like incense rori or jubilation XXV) there are also Boswellia carterii and Boswellia serrata which offer slightly different olfactory profiles: bright citrus topnotes versus earthy and balsamic heartnotes. To create a long lasting frankincense accord, the choice of extraction method is the most important. A CO2 extract or resinoid is preferred over essential oil because these capture the heavier, sesquiterpene-rich fractions (the molecules responsible for tenacity) while limiting the quick-fading monoterpene topnotes (like limonene and alpha-pinene), although on that note many incense varieties mostly have alpha and beta pinene in the top. You can use some supporting aroma chemicals like the aforementioned pinenes and certain aldehydes to make the incense shine, for instance aldehyde c12 MNA works wonderfully in conjunction with incense. On that note most “incense” accords are nearly always identical to each other using certain aromachemicals like Vertofix etc. there are also a few famous incense bases, like bois d’encens which also features in interlude. The basic incense accord you find in most of CDGs offerings of the incense series is made up of iso e super, Vertofix, cedramber, aldehyde 12mna and olibanum with some supporting Virginia cedarwood.
>>18580677If you’d like to create a mango accord you’ll need juicy esters, lactones, and trace sulfur molecules. Since there’s no true mango essential oil (the fruit simply doesn’t yield one through distillation or extraction) you have to construct the impression from synthetics and naturals that mimic its sweet, creamy, slightly green complexity. The first step is to decide what type of mango you want: an unripe, green one with tart and leafy nuances, (in this case you can use cassis base 345F) or a ripe, golden mango with a sweet nectar like depth. (345B) For the core of the accord gamma undecalactone or gamma nonalactone gives the creamy pulpy fruit tone, while ethyl butyrate and ethyl maltol bring the juicy brightness and round sweetness typical of tropical fruits. You can add low dosed cis 3 hexenol or cis 3 hexenyl acetate (both feature in Xerjoff Erba pura) to reproduce that green fresh peel effect which keeps the whole structure from collapsing into syrup. To push it toward the tropical, allyl caproate or allyl heptanoate can be used in traces as they add that characteristic sharp pineapple-passionfruit tang which really gives lift and sunlight to the accord. To truly capture mango you’ll need faint sulfuric undertones; in nature 3 mercaptohexyl acetate is largely responsible for the juicy and slightly animalic edge. For amateur perfumers that is hard to source, so you can substitute it with a bit of blackcurrant bud absolute or grapefruit mercaptan (extremely diluted) recreates that nuance perfectly, lending lifelike ripeness without veering unpleasant. Jean Claude Ellena discusses mango in diary of a nose, mentioning how you can mix aldehyde c14 with blackcurrant buds absolute for a very convincing accord, although he also utilizes some naturals like carrot EO. (Fructalate and such can also help for the pulpy part.)
>>18580834Hedione features in close to every commercial fragrance, seeing as it is one of the primary building blocks of the modified Grojsman accord that has been dominating the fragrance industry for more than a decade now. Structurally speaking, close to every fragrance is made up of Iso e super, Galaxolide and hedione. It does feature in some jasmine accords but it is primarily used as a structural building block to give airy texture and nondescript floral lift, there are a few hedione adjacent captives that do this job even better, but they can only be used by a select group of brands. Alternatively there’s hedione HC. >>18581030Truthfully speaking, it’s a very common Iris accord you will find in a plethora of female fragrances. I speculate that you have not encountered it more frequently only because you mostly smell men’s fragrances.

>>18581344Had this for a long time on my radar, almost forgot about itHow strong is the Coke smell, and is it more like opening a coke bottle or the smell/taste that coke candy has?
>Versace Eau FraicheAm I the only one that thinks this is criminally underrated?
>>18581348I don't know if anyone can accurately answer this. I personally feel like there's some fizziness along with cinnamon which is what makes you think of cola - I think this sense of fizziness make it more like a soft drink at least to me.The rest of the scent is a bit of vanilla and quite a bit of tobacco, but it all blends so nicely. The fizziness goes away after a while, but the rest of the scent is still very very very pleasant after 5 days+ on sprayed clothes.I really can't believe this is so underhyped and it makes me suspicious about how things get hyped because mid things end up being pushed by the algos and the influencers at the same time while gems like this just aren't mentioned at all.
>>18581360Ah Sounds nice to me, i was just wondering if it has this synthetic sweet candy cola smell, but it seems not like it, which is good, have to give it a try its just 30 bucks here
>>18581348>>18581360In my limited experience all cola accords are made with a combination of black cherry, cinnamon, usually lime, I think ginger, maybe a few other things (or whatever materials they use to artificially recreate the above notes). I would say it’s more the scent of a freshly cracked can, because it does seem like the “fizzy” feeling the scent gives is a portion of creating the scent as a whole. PerfumAnon can speak to it better than I.
>>18580667>I’d like you guys to start perfuming.What does one major in while in college to start down this career path? Chemistry with a focus on Organic Chem? Or is it better to focus on Analytical so you have a better understanding of GCMS etc. Or would it possibly be even better to major in Food Science?
>>18581370Licorice and star anise also has cola vibes, based from my experience
>>18581373You can get in as long as it’s a chemical field, obviously things like organic or analytical chemistry are going to be held in a higher regard. I can only speak on isipca but I know that a few fragrance schools in grasse also take you if you have a masters or bachelors in a non chemistry related field, for instance, I personally know someone who despite having a masters in architecture became a perfumer. Pierre negrin never formally studied either, instead learning in laboratories around the world. It’s a difficult world to get into, but once you have your foot in the door you definitely have a lot of opportunities.
>>18581370You’re absolutely right having mentioned most of the primary constitutents of a cola accord. Ellena states cola to consist of vanillin, cinnamon, orange and lime. These are the Core naturals but a cola accord can be taken many ways, for instance, by adding fructone and benzaldehyde you can take it a cherry direction while isobutavan and various Lactones lean crème soda
>>18581385Lol I'm currently taking bachelor's in architecture but I'm probably just gonna be a small time perfumer for soaps, it's my niche interest.
Speaking of cola, my SOTD is full incense and with each consecutive wear over the past couple of months, it smells increasingly like cola to me. I hardly smell anything else at this point.
>>18580301Guys recommend me a nice fall/winter perfume that's for men/unisex. I can't figure out what I want to try from the charts and trying out in the shops is a pain in the ass and the selection isn't nearly as plentiful and sometimes more expensive than online. I am just tired of always going for the safe choice which is usually Burberry London. It's done and gone. Might wear it again in a decade or so.

>>18581418Givenchy Réserve Privée
I bought Individuel for 20 burgers at a discount store. Time to pit it against Bogart PH.
>Patchouli 24
>>18581504>Arabspices24
>>18581494The rose accord in Ambre Nuit is made up of Bulgarian Rose Otto, PEA, Citronellol, Geraniol, Nerol, Rhodinol 70, Neryl Acetate, Phenethyl Phenyl Acetate and that one damascenone from firmenich. There are a few ambery materials such as Benzoin Oliffac, Cistus Oil and Ethyl Vanillin, the rest are clean musks and some sandalwood molecules. You can’t pirate bois d’ encense, most bases are proprietary secrets and even then, it’s a codestillation. How would you even go about that, unless you have chromatography equipment Despite being lactonic in character, Gamma undecalactone is needed for a great deal of fruit accords, for instance the Prunella base, which also features c18 etc… you can find it in nearly every fruit accord, sometimes as a modifier but mostly as a primary structural component coupled with a handful of butyrates. Fruits are a very difficult aroma to produce so a lot of molecules are needed to make it smell “realistic”, although sometimes only a few molecules are needed to create the base structure. To create a black tea accord like you describe, you need Phenethyl Alcohol,Ionone Beta, Mate Absolute and Theaspirane (which is one of the main players) paired with guaiacwood and guaiyl acetate, Patchouli Heart or at least a relatively clean patchouli, Cistus and ethyl Linalool and a few hesperidic modifiers. Bergamote 000136 for instance, with a touch of Citral. By keeping the citrus and smokier guaiac compounds in the lower percentages you should capture what the volatile aroma compounds resemble at that stage. What I mentioned is a relatively simple accord that you should be able to put together yourself.

It’s the kind of scent where I don’t know that I’d want a full bottle, but like 10-15 ml would be perfect for rare occasions.
This fragrance I'm wearing is making me racist. wtf :/ (not telling which one)
>>18581651>>18581675CdG original has a base that smells 1:1 like scented pinecones to me. The opening is super shrill though, like an angry stack of A4 printer paper. Prada Amber pour Homme Intense also is scented pinecones to me. Sucks its gone, I really like the powdery-oriental scent profile
I can’t STAND this faggotThe entire fragrance youtube is full of charlatans and hucksters but this fat makes my blood boil
>>18581707hes not that bad, even for a grifter. now gent scents, tltg, and curley? THOSE are some faggots
>>18581705>like an angry stack of A4 printer paper.I have no idea what this means but it made me chuckle. (I know A4 is a size)
>>18581707he's cool he wears blue lenses
>>18581707I dont mind him, curly on the other hand...But generelly i bought a couple of fragrances anons recomended, and they really never failed me, these slop influencers tho, they are full of shit.
>>18581710Basically the opening smells like a stack of blank paper, and with the chemical plastic glossiness of a printer, but with the spices and woodiness of the base notes bleeding through somehow.
>>18580301Is that batman?
>>18581736LOOK. AT. ME.
>>18581692Prob Chanel>Chanel stayed in France during the Nazi German occupation and collaborated with the occupiers and the Vichy puppet regime. Declassified documents revealed that she had collaborated directly with the Nazi intelligence service, the Sicherheitsdienst.
>>18581746its not racism if youre right
>tfw rose pared with woody notes works really well in masculine fragrances
>>18581747>its not racism if youre right>why yes, i wear grapefruit/apple-ambroxan poison

>>18581522>Ambre NuitSo no hedione?I was 100% sure there would be a good amount since the opening of AN really really fit your description.>how would you pirate Bois d'EncensWell you said it features a famous incense base that's also in Interlude Man, I was hoping "famous" meant enough people would know about it for the (rough) formula to end up somewhere online...>fruit and teaThanks for the informative posts as usual.>you should be able to put it together yourselfI'm not in a position to experiment with aromachemicals right now but be sure that as soon as I am I will and I'll be back to nag you.
>>18577692>what?>it doesn't last and has poor projection but the scent is fantastic>I wish I knew of alternativesThat's just it. Projection is poor after dry down but right when you put it on it's overwhelming as fuck. Longevity is okay, but not great for what the bottles cost. Performs how a good $20~ fragrance performs. Maybe 6-8 hours with 6 sprays.>>18581845It's well known that Hugo Boss made the Nazi uniforms. Everybody was a Nazi supporter back then because it was either support them or get arrested or killed.
I watch Demi Rawling for my frag reviews because she wears low cut tops and i'm hoping for a nip slip some day
>>18581707I used to hate his takes but after the fragranceflan guy, he seems decent lol
Tested this since the YSL near me has yet to restock their male fragrancesBlack Opium - smells like what I expected. Sweet, warm coffee with tons of vanilla in background. Has this signature YSL screechy accord that can be smelled in MYSLF. Projects like a beast. Leans feminine but the overall vibe is like Azzaro Wanted line.Black Opium Le Parfum - more refined, mature version of the original. It's much more deeper, not screechy and smells more like a chocolate than coffee. This one's more unisex in my opinion. Also the mid-drydown smells a lot like MFK Grand Soir. it has that old syrupy amber vibe going on.
>>18581911When will they release Black Opium for men?

SOTDI changed meds and my skin chemistry must have changed, CDG Black switched from love to 5/10
Are there other fragrances similar to CDG Black and Patchouli 24?
>>18581707he's not that bad, though a massive shill
>>18581994Pretty sure it's confirmed, Walter White has a bottle of Stetson Coty on his drawer
Can anyone help me name this sent I got maybe ten years ago? It was woody and gingery and the name started with C, the top cap was a wooden cube and it had a frosted glass stripe going from top to bottom and the name was written in red, anybody know this one? They discontinued it but it was one of my favorites OAT, my dumbass didn't save the bottle tho
Is there anything that has that uplifting effect that Aventus has but better or at least similar?
>>18582136bvlgari black
>>18582208and I guess caron l'anarchiste has similarities too
>>18582208Discontinued many years ago.
Sotd Oud WoodMakes my wood hard, such a wonderful drydown.
I'm sorry but if you like green fougeres your probably an ugly manlet incel. Everyone laughs at you behind your back. The reality is only 6'3 and up white chads with a 7.5 face can pull those scents off and chances are you don't fit the bill
jean paul gaultier le male elixir - am I fucked?
>>18582237Yes it sucks
>>18582227im wearing a drakkar noir clone atm
>>18582238Fuck
>>18582154Is it this?
>>18582251Very close but no, it has like some French name that starts with the letter C written on it, that almost looks close enough to what I'm thinking of to be some kind of knock off
I think I fucked up by wearing Grey Vetiver EDT to the job interview. It fit the sweater and jacket look but for the job I should have gone more casual and fresh. I still get dark fruity notes along with the sour woody notes. Don't @ me.
>>18582286The house or the name starts with a C?

Has anyone her e tried Hawas Black>inb4 arab slophacivat is already arab slopI like Aventus Absolu and Hacivant and heard this is something in that line
>>18582390arab slop so no I haven'tespeciall since as you're saying it's apparently a clone of amongus and hacivat
>>18582287wearing any fragrance to an interview is pretty risky. most employers would prefer not to smell you at all
this clears the parfum. its soo good.
I have a pure arabian jasmin oil, it's fucking bomb (get it?) on its own. Give me ideas what to combine layering with it. I currently have:Terre D'Hermes EDTYSL Y EDPBR 540 EDPYSL KourosGrand SoirAzzaro Wanted By NightTuscan LeatherH24Megamare

bro this shit SUCKS. dont EVER compare this to angels share. just cinnamon and raw honey. its GARBAGE

>>18582493Been meaning to pick up some cinnamon sweet slop, thanks for the rec!
Guerlain Homme EDP and Prada Infusion de Vetiver are the same
>>18582433I find them to each be good in their own way. Though, I somewhat lean towards the parfum now. Still, impossible to go wrong with either.
>>18582508retard

any good tom fords beyond the private blend collection for a gentleman or is it all sissy boy and women fragrances?

Is this one of those women's perfumes that a man can pull off?

SOTD: Ameer Al-Arab Imperium
>>18582413It is but I just liked the way I looked and wanted to compliment it with a perfume. I wouldn't wear something that projects too much but I have plenty of stuff that people can't smell unless they give you hug. What I wore is bellow average so you might pick it close up but not too much. I also wore it on my skin and not on my clothes.
>>18582564I would not risk it.
>>18582302>may be associated with grampa or plumber smells>civetBASED
>>18582668I wear Kouros and I don't feel old
