frag for smelling like air dried laundry?

I forgot how strong Immortel Corselle is.

I decided to replace Platinum Egoiste with the vintage frag I found. I really like Caron, and another Anon told that Le 3e mogs Pour in Homme (which I enjoy immensely) especially the older bottles. I found a fragrance store that pretty much only sells vintage frags, and they had three unopened testers left in stock for what I feel is a very reasonable price. I bought one, and now let's hope it doesn't disappoint.

>>18691074
Air dried laundry doesn't smell like anything, you might be thinking of the soap or fabric softener scents, which are usually cheap and built around linalool (lavender) and white musk.
Try a few lavender frags, from MEM to Beau de Jour to Pour un Homme de Caron.

Sotd Kenzo Homme edt 1991

>>18691154
3e is in fact better but its very different than PUH. Its an autumn/winter scent for sure
Its moss, cinnamon, cloves, and lavender. Like a spicy Bois du Portugal if you will

Do good cheapies even exist? I feel like there's no good fragances under 100-150usd

>>18691349
you can get most mainline (TdH, H24) and classic (Eau d'Hermes, Bel Ami Vetiver, Les Colognes, etc.) Hermes frags at discounters for less than 100 (euro)bucks so they def exist

Reverse 1999 characters all have their perfumes/colognes listed out, but as far as I can tell they've never officially made them. Where would I go to or what can I do to get them custom-made, e.g. Shamane's here in the bottom left?
Oriental Woods, Red Sandalwood, Nard (endangered/restricted?), Sal Tree, Black Currant

I wear whatever I want when I want because it's 90 fuckin' degrees here 8 months out of the year, and anywhere between 70 to 100 on the other 4.

smooth chocolatey iris on soft suede and heavy vanilla. I preferred the Intense.

>>18691415
>I preferred the Intense.
Cuir Ottoman is even better.

Colonia
Colonia Essenza
Mugler Cologne

These are the best soapy scents I have tried. Anything else I should try? Haven't tried Prada Infusion de Cedre, any good?

>>18691395
>proud to be brown
Good for you, I guess

>>18691459
Prada L'Homme
Azemour les Orangers

but the Colonia and its flankers are the benchmarks for me

In your opinions, do any of the pacific chill clones even come close to the original? I smelled les sables roses, imagination, ombre nomad, meteore, and pacific chill for the first time sunday and would like something more budget friendly if its close to the original. If there isn't a good dupe of it I will probably just buy the original but I am curious if anyone has tried any of the dupes

Anyone own it? I am tempted to buy a sample off Luckyscent, but I have a hard time believing that it's worth the price. Even on the high priced frags I own, they tend to just say "It's expensive" but 540 goes beyond that with a large number of people of agreeing that it's not just expensive but very overpriced.

>>18691507
Go to a macy's or something mine has a bajillion MFK frags in the womens section

I've tried it and have a decant of the eau de parfum, which I think is more interesting, even living the price aside.
Whether it's worth its asking price is entirely subjective, so try it out and decide.
And as anon said, it's a popular frag so you'll find it in most frag stores, no need to buy a sample if it doesn't strike you as interesting enough.

I'm Bonfire-scent-seeking anon from a few weeks ago. I tried practically everything recommended (aside from City on Fire) and all were misses as far as what I was looking for, Tyrannosaurus by far the most interesting. However, just recieved CB I Hate Perfume's Burnt Wood and it's nailed the scent, minus the rubbery pine/birch tar note I'm keen for. Thanks for the reccs regardless, DORKS.

>>18691524
Did you try Corpus Equus? I don't think it was posted in that thread. It's mostly a leather scent with an intensely smoky and rubbery birch tar.

>Series 3 samples arrive
>the blotter top for Avignon is weirdly tight
>tug on it carefully, twist it
>nothing
>retard strength for a moment
>it pops open like a champagne bottle, goes flying and spills the 1ml sample on the floor like a wasted load
Great.

>>18691507
It's a good reference to have since so many other scents are built on the same formula.

>>18691532
INTERESTING I'll have to sniff that one, I actually already had Naomi Goodsir marked for Nuit de Bakelite. Looks like they have another smoky one with tobacco and whiskey notes too.

>>18691535
Absolutely tragic, I can't stand the 1ml non-spray samples fearing this exact scenario. Avignon is real good but Zagorsk is the star of that line imo

Came back after ordering testers.

I bought from Pineward
Apple tabac
Jayloft
Lime Cola
Coffee Tabac
Ponderosa
Murkwood
Juniperus
Brokilan

Additionally from Naomi Goodsir Nuit de bakelite

and honestly most of them were nice,
but MVP for me:
Murkwood, really nice foresty and honesty I will pick up this or Brokilan because those for me are really close but one is softer.
Juniperus is something completely different but still fits the vibe.

As nice surprised Nuit de bakelite, very nice smell.

As for other that worth to mention, Panderosa, and Hayloft (indeed nice nut smell)

I might order some more samples because ineed Pineward came with surprised for me, although I have also Loewe on my wishlist.

>>18691544
Nice, NdB and Bois d'Ascese are my favorites from the set. NdB is insanely strong, very floral but more stem and leaf than flower.

>>18691544
Bois d'Ascese might hit the mark a little more imo than Corpus Equus? CE is a lot more leather-forward imo, though still cool.
if you liked T-Rex, then maybe Hyde from Hiram Green might be worth looking at

Anyone have any experience ordering MDCI frags off of their website? I really want chypre palatin but rheir website is boomer tier. Also what other frags are worth checking out besides invasion barbare?

I just blind bought Santal 33, someone tell me what I think of it.

>>18691524
D&G Velvet Desert Oud is a resinous smoky campfire, lighter fluid and all.

>>18691604
I only buy items that are easy and convenient to buy. I'm not jumping through hoops and humiliating myself like the vendor is doing me a favor. Here is my money, take it or leave it.

Recent trip to the mall to check for the new Light Blue EDP had me testing a bunch of stuff to expand my horizons, added them to my collection of all tested frags in picrel. Lots of designers but also notice a lot of basic stuff, is there novelty in designer frags or are they "basic" by default? Most unique scents for me are the Tom Ford frags, Nasomatto and AdP. Oh and also Fahrenheit, I tried to compare it to a known scent but kept failing, maybe there was some fatigue involved but it's a weird one for sure, very unique.

I did it, I sent them a message using their boomer-tier website waiting for their response I asked for a simple presentation of Chypre Palatin and the following 5 samples

Invasion Barbare
Cuir garamante
L’homme aux gants
Cuir Cavalier
Le Barbier de Tanger
I'll keep you guys posted on all of these if I care enough once I get my goodies

>>18691604
Why don't you buy from LuckyScent or some shit? It's gonna be the same amount. It might even be slightly cheaper since LuckyScent has a Shop page and it's authorized to spit out $10 and $20 discounts on orders over $100 for some reason.

Anyone try and buy from the HEELEY website recently? It seems like they don't ship to US anymore, or maybe I'm retarded?

>>18691757
>It seems like they don't ship to US anymore
many such cases desu
ask them about their current policy, they might be more flexible than advertised (see the PdE discussion a few threads back)

>>18691365

Mind boggling to think people on this thread are asking for 'cheap' fragrance between $100-$150 and they're asking for fragrances between $10-$15. It really humbles me and makes me appreciate my collection even more than I already do.

Luckyscent let's you pick 4 or 5 samples on your order. Check for yourself.

That's true but they are 2ml or so, MDCI gives you 5 11ml samples
