The Fragrance Groups 101 Chart
The Fragrance Flowchart for Beginners
I like bois, love to sniff wood
>>18616298well, I like girls, love to sniff uhhhh actually nevermind I hate womensotd lapidus pour homme
SOTD: YSL TuxedoIve had this sample since last year and totally forgot about it. Just divine, might cop a bottle on boxing day
Question for those in the knowIs Cedre encens the same fragrance as Eau de baux, or is the formula different?
This week I tried a bunch of new hyped fragrances and I ended up getting Le Beau Le Parfum, the thing is, I am totally aware these modern frags smell femenine wich makes me want to delve into vintage women fragrances.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDWzD3xz_kI
>>18616335>Le Beau Le Parfumeh, that shit sucks ass
DIOR HOMME 2020 EDP VERSION INCOMING
>>18616335>wich makes me want to delve into vintage women fragrancesDifferent in terms of composition, vintage stuff was for women while today's femboy frags take aspects from girl frags.If you want vintage girl frags you can check other things than your video's picks although Tabu does fit, it's a candied pineapple-forward chypre but got massively reformulated to the point of deleting most of its base of oakmoss and civet.Cabochard is a Bernard Chant bottle which means it's 80% the same as a men's frag counterpart of the same era so you can buy them and it would be a similar experience, he designed boy and girl versions of his formulas.Some exceptions occur like Halston for Women which smells like girl butt and thigh funk, like very sweet but heavily used girl panties. Perhaps Devin could be considered its counterpart but i find them significantly different.
>>18616340yaaaaaaaaaysource?
>>18616340Kurkdjian has been a mistake
SOTD: FM Cologne IndélébileVery nice.First hour is a bit orange blossom heavy but then it dries to neroli and narcissus.Expensive as hell but I'll consider it for this summer.
>>18616347Kurkdjian is mid at best but he's not at blame here - he simply does frags as requested by Dior mgmt
I really miss Jacques Polge bros
>>18616332same same but differentthey changed the name and the bottle(probably upped the price too)an anon posted about this and I called him a retard and then I saw it was official on the french website and now it seems to be official on all websites of loccitane
>>18616340uhh...what for?
>>18616358The EDT version is extremely weak and lasts 1 hour max
>>18616335>vintage women fragrancestry Fendi (1987) and Ivoire de Balmain
Prada L'homme L'eau is better than the OG
>>18616361i don't know i have the sport and it's quite potent
>>18616320Just cop one of its many clones like Suits or Winsome (formerly The Tux)
>>18616350>Kurkdjian is mid at bestHe's good, he had pretty decent designs like Armanimania, Carven Homme, Gaultier 2, Dior Homme Cologne, Narciso Rodriguez for Him and also the Her version, Grand Soir's pretty good and Baccarat is legitimately a woman's classic, Le Male being his chief star but that's a dupe so it doesn't really count aside from the fact he added the freshness with mint into it.Yet he has only made reiterative flankers and utter trash at Dior.>he's not at blame here>he simply does frags as requested by Dior mgmtThen he's getting short-changed because Dior gave Demachy almost free reign to design what he wanted, one would think he has similar liberties to explore his ideas. I think Francis is spent for the moment, his advanced pet projects like Baccarat and Grand Soir got released on his own brand already along with other ones, had he released them with Dior we would be talking about a literal Demachy 2.0, and Dema was already a Jacques Polge 2.0 to begin with, people who just kept releasing classics after given time.Demachy also fucked some things up and doesn't help he was there when all these cataclysmic IFRA regulations happened but he gave the company multiple classics of its era, Kurkdjian has yet to release 1 (one) decent male fragrance or an original female perfume. He's been there for a couple years already, Demachy released Homo Intense, Fahrenheit 32 and Midnight Poison within 18 months. It did take him 9 years to pull out Sauvage but before that he released other classics like Aqua Fahrenheit which is also quite distinct to the OG and a redefinition of manly fougeres, and also the trinity of Parfums with Homo, Eau Sauvage and Fahrenheit again. With girls he pulled some stuff like Miss Dior but i think only that one.
>>18616361That's what the old EDP version is for thenIt's only reformulations to make them sweeter and more synthetic, total homosexualization of the brand>>18616375Moustache EdP is also pretty good but i liked The Tux a bit more, seemed more complex. Wonder how good is Tuxedo considering it costs 7 to 8 times more, the marketing notes on them are all different too.
>>18616354Im asking because the old version has vanilla listed as a base and the new version has cedre listed as a base. I want the vanilla version, but if its the same then fine, although i dont understand why would they list it differently if its actually the same.Ironically enough, the old version is 3x more expensive than the new one, and i have no idea why
>>18616335>vintage women fragranceshell yeah. i actually enjoy some women's perfume. im a rose chad after all so im no stranger to it. i'll probably end up getting Shalimar in the future.
>>18616340Fake/gay
>>18616387>although i dont understand why would they list it differently if its actually the same.new = equals consumerists will buy because novelty>Ironically enough, the old version is 3x more expensive than the new one, and i have no idea whythe so called fragrance community is retarded?I had no idea.......happens every time with discontinuations
>>18616377>Le Male being his chief star but that's a dupe what's the original?
>>18616350Turkdijon is a very talented perfumer. He'll struggle at first because his style is the opposite of Godmachy. Turkdijon probably does the best singular notes but he doesn't do as much complexity and natural stuff as Godmachy. Dior brought him in because he does the hood queen luxury aesthetic better than anyone and that is their biggest moneymaker. Once he gets a big hit under his belt Dior will loosen the leash. They never will but they need to let him do something new, everything he does on existing names will get panned even if it's good.
i just don't like lavender that is all
>>18616408Lavender is great because it's clean but I understand how it can be limiting. It's just not as interesting as other florals because it's the standard for every cleaning product.
>>18616408I like lavender, but I don't really care for creamy/spicy lavender 'shaving foam' scents. I've tried Eau Sauvage Parfum, NYI, BdP, they're all just meh to me. I like it fine in a more clean/fresh context.
>>18616408I'm really curious to try Lavande 44 Rania J, the mix of oud and lavender sounds interesting,
>>18616403So its confirmed the new version has vanilla?Vanilla incense cedre amber lime thats me i have to get it
>>18616350>BR540>Le Male>NR for Her>Rose Barbare>Kurkdjian is mid at bestThe fingers of my two hands are enough to count the perfumes who signed as many great frags plus a lengthy catalog of other good ones.
cop or slop?
>>18616426>So its confirmed the new version has vanilla?I have no idea and I don't care>>18616433painfully mid and overpriced
>>18616406Cuba Gold, interestingly enoughParfums Des Champs were a low to perhaps mid-tier frag boutique in Paris since 1979, supposedly in the early to mid 80's they released a cheap in-house fougere with heavy oriental leanings, as a shot to make it unisex. It was simple enough to be made with cheap base ingredients, didn't feature a refined top entry.Kurkdjian perhaps had one of those bottles, created a top section and let the rest be the same and that's Le Male, a global hit.A couple of years after Le Male they got bought by a big company, currently the owners are Fragluxe, and they formally released that creation as Gold, their first frag, in the global market. Because they were a boutique and likely a dupe maker they then released a bunch of dupes to this day, some of them are high-quality and none are expensive so it's a worthwhile brand to check out if they have something mildly interesting to your tastes.Their main problem is that, while a few pictures of the boutique exist in some archives, no one has ever made a serious investigation about vintage vials of the actual thing before Le Male was released so that story has some sort of Creed-like stink if it wasn't for the fact some reviewers and frenchfags do claim to have seen the store in the 80's. Turin might have mentioned that but i don't remember well which means i am probably confusing the source.Officially Cuba Paris claims to have been organized, under that name and cigar image, in 1992 which is still 3 full years before Le Male and around when Francis was beginning to study perfumery. They claim to have released 4 bottles on the classic 35ml cigar size around that founding year of '92, i suppose one was Gold and the other Black because Blue and Green are dupes of stuff from 1995, doesn't help Orange is also from a 1995 frag and Le Male (Gold) is also from 1995. Red maaaybe was an original.Who knows, the funny thing is that if you search for bottles from 2005 you won't find them either.
what's a fragrance that says, 'hey i got a big cock'
>>18616433>benzoin>peru balsam>guiac woodall that to say it’s just ambroxan lmao
>>18616439Dior Addict
>>18616438>>18616377Daniela Andrier is a better perfumer than both Francis Kurkdjian and Jacques Polge
>>18616439Your dad's favorite frag
>>18616446my dad's indeed got a fatter cock than me
>>18616408You gay, son>>18616432>The fingers of my two hands are enough to count the perfumers who signed as many great fragsYou must have a shit load of fingers because i can name a lot of them, but Kurk is/was one of the greats>Le MaleDupe>NR for HerCo-signed but he designed the cool part of the scent profile>>18616433Synthetic slop yet doesn't lastGet Opium pour Homme if you want a manly spicy balsamic>>18616439Oldfag anon's ball musk extrait de parfum, i've only read greentexts but that guy had a big one for having attempted that>>18616445>Givaudan CEO's wifeGo away shill, she is talented tho cannot deny that, sadly her best work for men is all discontinued
>>18616439Savsage
Lets settle it once for allIs /fa/ team Francois Demachy or team Jacques Polge?
>>18616450tomayto tomahto
>>18616439Eau Sauvage for its meek performance, big dicked people aren't loud.
>>18616335>Le Beau La Parfumthis is what im wearing today, i really like it, but theres something about the JPG dna that seems sickly sweet to me sometimes. Its the weirdest thing, because it comes and goes.
>>18616439SWY Intensely
>>18616439Antaeus Kouros FahrenheitEau SauvageArmani Eau Pour Homme
>>18616450Bourdon dunks on both but if i had to choose at current formulations, probably Demachy but not by much, if we count pre-IFRA then probably Polge because Antaeus and Egoiste Concentree would mog almost everything.Hard choice, sadly we cannot enjoy their works in continued full form aside from Dior Sauvage Elixir and the EdP.
I suppose that it does smell accurate, but i dont get the appeal, people WANT to smell like this? why not make it more woody and less smoky?
>>18616483I find it to be a masculine gourmandGood for holiday parties and winter date nights when your trying to slip a log into the chimney
>>18616486>masculine gourmand
>>18616433This thing is mediocre but for some reason it sticks to my mind. Probably because I'm not very familiar with modern perfumes so for those people it's probably generic. I hope they discontinue it so people go "OMG this is the best thing ever made, bring it back!" lol
>>18616448>Opium PHI liked this. Interested in trying Jaipur or Pi next. 90s scents are usually a hit for me.
>>18616488they do exist. dior fahrenheit parfum is another example
>>18616445Andrier is the best female perfumer, she's almost as good as a man but most male perfumers put her to shame.
>>18616486Its dried down a little and i get it now, but that opener man... smelled like they just put soot in it or something.
>>18616450It's funny when people pick Polge and mention perfumes he did when Demachy was working with him. Some perfumes created by Demachy are still credited to Polge. Only retards take the error ridden fragrance sites as fact. They can't even get notes right, don't expect them to get the correct perfumers.
I only wear frags made by girlboss perfumers. Chudfumes can suck it.
>>18616361not really, it's one of those scents that makes you go anosmic.
>>18616539based
SOTD: Azzaro Wanted by NightCinnamon bread and rum for holidays...
I still didnt get the fougere thing, some anon Posted pic related, Are these all fougères? they smell very different to one another, and i cant make out a common smell which every one of them share. What makes a fougère a fougère, and is there THE fougère parfum which i should get my nose on?
Should I k m s?
>>18616565Yes
Usually just wear tom ford Tuscan leather in the winter and Oud Wood in the summer. Any have recommendations for something I’d like? Maybe a little more sophisticated
>>18616558every single one of these smells like shitpisss, especially that god awfull dolce & gabbaner. i don't know why people keep bringing it up because it smells like straight up lemon water.
>>18616567>Tuscan Leather>SummerYou must be white to pull that off. I can only wear Tuscan Leather in rainy days. For summer I used to wear either YSL Y layered with with jasmine absolute or TF Eau de Soleil Blanc
>>18616566>>18616566I've been doing some research and I'm either gonna gas myself or hang. But I don't wanna drop hang. I wanna bend over and then go unconscious. Not sure how to do it that way. There are no guides
>>18616573Actually, I think there's plenty of tutorials.
If you wear jasmine as a man I'm going to assume you're a femboy asking for a big cock up his bussy
>>18616574Where
>>18616576Just use search engine retard
>>18616575>If you wear fragrance as a man I'm going to assume you're a femboy asking for a big cock up his bussyfixed that for you
>>18616539You can get a bottle of Lataffa Asad Zanzibar (the blue one) at TJ Maxx for 20$ right now. Not my favorite scent, but for 20$ i cant say no. Perfect for pulling basic bitches at the bar
demi rawling cunt musk
>>18616439Oud Wood.
>>18616281I spent 1500$ on frags in 30 days, that is a month's pay with a decent job here. Only to find out I like Sauvage Edp the most of them all, Elixir is pricy but that's even better.There is a lesson here I guess, as other anons said, as a newcomer just go for 1-3 bestsellers then goodnight.
>>18616433okay and perfectly inoffensive but def not worth the price
SOTD Escada Sunset Heat Men
>>18616605No, you dont want to be called an indian on this Board am i right? you just buy the most retarded nieche stuff. Just make sure the bottle is less than 50ml and the cap is larger than the bottle.And ignore everything that is less than 200 bucks.
Fragrance with this vibe/aesthetic?Serious question, BTW.
>>18616618Kouros
>>18616513>JaipurGreat stuff but different, a Menardo classic made at the same time as Boss Bottled. Green apple cinnamon pie fougere, with a chunky vanilla note somewhere in there and a somewhat mossy base, and at least in my vintage Gladiator bottle, a hint of some sort of dry soapy herbal note that reminds you of Kouros. >PiI loved that and i had a shit reformulation, the original must've been awesome. Vanilla lavender cedar, very faintly also spicy, somewhat generic and doesn't last but it's the border limit between sweet and gay but it's firmly inside the good non-gay side. Gorgeous bottle concept but could be better, had a 50ml but foolishly gifted it, 100ml is not as pretty. Someone should dupe it and dial the wood notes.>>18616514Dior Fahrenheit Parfum is sure as hell not a gourmand, i have it albeit a shitty reformulation in a 2024 bottle that lasts only 4 hours or so. The vanilla in it is clearly identifiable as it but it's warm and aromatic in the same sense it is like in Pi or Jaipur like mentioned above, the boozey notes are not really relevant compared to the violet and lavender as a whole.It's a fougere half mixed with an oriental, the Le Male trend. If you think that's gourmand then Jaipur, Stronger with You, Armani Code, Tuxedo/Moustache EdP and even Vanilla Fields (vanilla meringue) are gourmands. >>18616520Grojsman, Lorson and Menardo, along with the massively influential Cellier, are contenders. My vote goes to Annick Menardo but Cellier was a keystone in perfumery. Bet i am forgetting someone there but those are the first i remember, Gracia Cetto is up there too.>>18616527That's an interesting commentary, care to expand it further mister
>>18616539Suffers from that acid ginger base arabs like to put in everything, that lemon salt thing they also use to season some foods. I get putting it in Hawas to give it some edge compared to Legend Spirit but not in Asad.>>18616558>Are these all fougères?Yeah>i cant make out a common smell which every one of them shareThey had plenty in common but you are smelling them nowadays, fougere is in practice extinct due to IFRA.A Fougere is an imaginary concept a pioneering perfume head designer idealized, Parquet, for the house of Houbigant, the IRL Creed. It means "fern", i think he liked them and its surrounding areas but didn't agree with the fact ferns do not have a particular smell other than some green anonymous note. So he started thinking and came up with a frag called Fougere Royale, which invented the genre and is loosely defined like how that perfume shined: Lavender heart and Oakmoss base, all sweetened by Coumarin. Parquet was involved in early chemical experiments to isolate the sweetness of Tonka Beans and build FR using a synthetized version of that which is what we know as coumarin, losing some of the green nuances the natural aromachemical had but making the lavender-oakmoss go centerfront.So it's the refreshing green-blue aspect of lavender, the green earthy and ozonic base of oakmoss and all sweetened by coumarin. The frags you posted all had, in their original formulations, a lavender heart and a mossy base. Some had soft powdery lavender (PR, Rive Gauche), some others had bright fizzy lavender (Dihydromyrcenol in CW and DN) some others had a floral balanced version (#1, Azzaro), all in their original versions had oakmoss as an important base note, from damp (PR, CW, PE) to earthy and green (Kouros, Rive Gauche), some considerably sweeter (#1) than others (DN).I say extinct because oakmoss is practically banned by IFRA and if you need only 3 ingredients and you can't use one then well, it's complicated. Same goes for chypres.
>>18616569Stick to Invictus bro, don't get close to Eau Sauvage or any green-looking juice from the 60's when men had their money backed by gold.>>18616572>YSL Y layered with jasmine absoluteDangerously based>>18616573If you are going to be dumb you better be tough, also all lives are worth something so if you are going to throw away the most precious thing a being has, aside from the soul for those who have one, then at least pull a stunt those who want to can't out of fear of losing said thing.I highly doubt your reasons are justifiable but why would you bring it on a frag general, if you are that jaded just sell everything but 3 bottles.>>18616605I spent 4000 in 15 days with the underground market, that was almost my year's salary pre-pandemic in the rural areas and i don't want to do it again. At least i have plenty to study and brag about.At least you can resell at similar prices if you didn't buy at retail, frags don't devalue that much and some even go up in price.>>18616618Pour Monsieur/Eau Sauvage, Guerlain/Carver Vetiver, perhaps Old Spice because he looks fresh and shaved.
Not finna lieArmani Code Parfum is a very underrated perfume
>>18616618Lin Blanc

>>18616450Demachy.Polge came up with some great frags but he didn't formulate Sauvage or Dior Homme or Ambre Nuit.
>>18616744my aventus clone does smell exactly like it but i honestly never wear it because aventus is mid anyways
>>18616744>fades in 2 hours>they're EXACTLY like AventusThat's true enough, cope>>18616825Actual discussion rather than one-liners scare away the nigger cattle, same thing happened years ago so it's a choice between activity or effort. Also this time of year is slightly less active, before it didn't matter but nowadays most of the site is normalfags.>>18616837>Polge didn't formulate Sauvage or Dior Homme or Ambre NuitBut he did formulate Antaeus, Egoiste, Platinum Egoiste, Allure Homme, Allure Homme Sport and Bleu de Chanel.IFRA and Chanel quality control after his retirement killed his work.
What fragrance would he wear?

Anyone here dabble in making your own fragrances? Maybe not something super polished, but a general fragrance to put out around the house or something? I really only wear fragrance for myself, don’t care about getting compliments or whatever, so being able to make something for home use would be great, but I’d imagine like anything else there’s levels, curious how far some people have got
>>18616663Nice, thank you bro. I think I would try Jaipur EdP first, it sounds more in line with my tastes. But I could be into the EdT too, who knows.
Now that the dust has settled, pic related seems to have the biggest amount of /fa/nboys on /fa/. Why so?
oh no no no no antaeusbros
>myslf edphonest thoughts?
>>18616963>worrying about what homo guys were wearing 40 years agocouldn't be me desu, Antaeus is a great frag and Kouros is one of the best ever made (Pierre Bourdon is a genius)
>>18616558Boss #1 and Cerruti 1881 dry down into that classic damp fern-like scent that fougeres were originally built upon. If you want to learn what that "common smell" is then you should get one of these.Azzaro and Paco Rabanne are more barbershop scents than they are fougeres. They smell nothing alike, either. Paco Rabanne leans heavily into powdery lavender and green herbal notes with just a touch of sweetness from the honey. Azzaro is more woody with some leather and it's licorice-like in the opening.Drakkar Noir is even further removed from that classic fougere smell. It's very sharp and herbal but it has none of the powderyness or cleanliness of Paco Rabanne. It dries down into just a cheap mossy smell.Cool Water is technically a fougere, but it's so different that it's in a category of it's own. The lavender is sweet, the moss is nonexistent and calone dominates the opening giving it a strong aquatic character.
>>18616974None of that is true retard
>>18616844>but Polge did formulate a number of good fragsDefinitely, but they're not as good as Sauvage or Dior Homme, and I personally like Ambre Nuit more than everything by Polge save for Sycomore.>>18616861It's a high quality frag and it smells like olibanum.I don't like it.>>18616948You get the wrong impression, plenty of frags are much more popular in /frag/.Still, Dior Homme is a good fragrance.
>>18616963You read a review by that retard and you learn very little about what the fragrance could smell like. But if you read three reviews by him, you'll learn nearly everything about that fat mess's personal life and inclinations. Absolutely useless slop. Classic case of failed doer becoming a critic.
Interesting
>>18617020sounds fun, will surely check it out
>>18617020wow, can't wait for another sauvage clone
>>18617020It's going to ruin the legacy of L'Homme Ideal Cologne, isn't it?
>>18617026not much of a legacy to ruin there
>>18616974>>18616675Thanks for the answer guys, need to look into it more, but i fkn love the boss no1 mossy drydown, something about it just smells so great, i probably need to look out for a vintage bottle, need to experience "the real deal"
>>18617028I have a vintage pinstripe bottle made in the UK and a modern bottle, there's no difference in smell just potency but it's minimal. Don't bother wasting your money hunting the vintage.
>>18617033Yeah guess ur right, probably gonna be dissapointed. The community makes it sound like vintage is a holy grail and not comparable to todays releases tho
>>18617020>fire>iceI can smell the synthetic notes from the image.

>>18617110Pretty sure she has a "partner"
>>18617117she's only 50, she still has time
Got decant of Honour Man. generally unimpressive and uninteresting. A dirty (as in actual dirt) and spice, but all of it very dull. The notes breakdown don't do it justice at all. this whole thing isn't bright at all. It's almost like Acqua Di Gio but with no bright lime or florals. It's the smell of an old tweed jacket.
Another unexpectedly boring decant. Bodicea "Complex." Named, I assume, Ironically. Linear boring leather. Opens incense sage and basil and continues that way for about 5 hours at which point it's incense leather sage and basil. It smells like someone gave up, which is crazy because John Stephen is typically excellent.
