Honestly I think I’m just gonna blind buy AHS Superleggera and be done with my summer frag hunt

>>18726329>do I spot some Nicolais in the back?Yes, New York Intense and Patchouli Intense, although I've been considering giving away the latter because it's not to my taste (there's something too astringent in it, probably from the geranium + orange combo).>I also see platinum egoiste there so it is an automatic approve from meIt's a banger, for sure. I also have the regular Egoiste (it's right behind PE on the pic).
>>18726313Lot of mossad shills lately here. Reminder that calone heavy fragrances are a repellend against innocent bombers.
>>18726337>mossad shillsSo that's why they hate Arab frags here.
>>18726332nice
>>18726324I have tried the entire line and I agree with you, but I want a basic citrus freshie with good longevity and durability for work. I have ADG EDP for that right now but it’s not “it”. The only other option for me from the line is CAHSEE but I think theres a better chance the tonka gets heavy in very hot weather.
>>18726323Just get Megamare it's the ultimate "dumb reach" summer frag
>>18726354No it isn’t
>>18726283wow I'm an idiot, thought the epstein thread seemed strange
>>18726357It definitely is. Or did you fall for the memes of it being challenging and weird when it's in fact one of the most inoffensive and mass pleasing frags around?
>>18726360I’ve had a sample for like a year. It’s not particularly refreshing or all that pleasant. It just smells like sea water. I would wear it if I worked on a fishing boat maybe.
>>18726362>It just smells like sea waterIt smells like ambroxan and musk, stop browsing fragrantica
>>18726365>>18726362Can confirm it smells musky with a refreshing ambroxan/calone aspect. Works well in the heat. Smells almost exactly like Boadicea Aqua Sapphire, certainly nothing like straight seawater.
I give summer fragrances a lot of shit but when you find the good ones there is nothing better than overspraying the fuck out of them.
>>18726365>>18726368It must be so bland having no imagination. Why are you suggesting this anyway when my original post was looking for a citrus fragrance like Superleggera? I get you tried it last week and are excited about not being a noselet because you didnt get pwned by le challenging gualtieri frag but you really don’t need to blow your load and mention it every time someone posts the word summer
>>18726376Stop sperging out, the point is that Megamare isn't le photorealistic dark aquatic you want it to be and you should rely on your actual sense of smell rather than fragrantica memes>my original post was looking for a citrus fragranceJust get DHS then if a basic musky ambroxan like Megamare still isn't inoffensive enough for you
>>18726376this desualso the official Allure power ranking™ is:>1. Allure Homme Edition Blanche>2. Allure Homme Sport EE>3. Allure Homme Sport Cologne>[other Allure Homme stuff]source: owned and used up bottles of all of them except for Superleggera
>>18726359What's the difference? No pages of dead links and historic number system for the ages?You fucking faggots.
>>18726382this OP has booba in it so your argument is invalid
>>18726382Nicolai-fag keeps these threads alive by consistently and diligently creating new generals in a coherent way. Can't fault the mf for that. If you want to try and support a /frag/ schism, it will only divide us scentbrahs further than we already are.>SOTD Absolu Aventus
Fragrance with this feel?
>>18726302lasts 10 minutes
>>18726378The point is that you can stop lubing your dick with megamare because you just tried it and think its the best thing in the world. Come wintertime i’m sure you’ll be here with a new bottle up your ass telling us all that Cuoium is actually a sweet and inoffensive animalic leather and not the brutal raw dirty challenging whatever that everyone says. If you could read more than 2 words before slamming LE MEGAMARE into the comment box you would know that a musky ambroxan is not what I’m looking for at all, if it was I would be wearing megamare and not posting about fucking Chanel, which is completely stylistically opposed to Orto Parisi. Lurk for another year and smell 200 more fragrances before you reply to this post.
>>18726388You sperg out every time anyone else makes a thread. Stop fellating yourself.
>>18726434Bohoboco Jasmine White Leather
Grabbed some summery samples and a cheap-ass bottle of Le BeauWhat am I in for with these
>>18726444Bro I think you should just calm down and wear Megamare.
>>18726469Obsession is pretty decent
>>18726368every dude in Europe wears this now it's their Sauvage/Aventus/Imagination/BDC
>>18726523lmao stop lyingwhere do you live that megamare is even slightly popular
>>18726527I was just in Venice for the past 3 weeks and smelled it on well dressed older zoomers/younger Millennial guys everywhere
>>18726530You probably just smelled the drydown of sauvage elixir
>>18726283picrel is my SODT, I bought a full bottle (125ml) for like 20 bucks, the best lavender in the game (only parfum flanker is better). Drydown is a little bit old fashioned for me but still a great frag.
>>18726368nope, it smells weird, I mean it's potent as hell but still mid/low scent profile, it's marin themed maybe with some heavy musk base
>>18726469Cool water is nice but a bit harsh for a fresh fragrance.Eternity is one of the best things I have ever tried, I think one of my parents had it as some point because I remember both the bottle and the scent. I have 200 ml that I have to spray 30+ times to get any lingering scent from, unfortunate.Chrome EDT I barely remember, it's okay but to me a nothing burger.CDNIM was suggested to me I think by my gf and got me into fragrances. I wore it on a work trip for 10 days every day and it reminds me of that time, but I find it too harsh to wear nowadays (could also be that my atomizer got fucked). Still, it's a great option to project POWA.Paradise Garden is to me barely mid, and usually smells bad to me - but my gf loves the clone I got, wore it herself, and I got a complement recently from a young woman on it randomly, so evidently chicks dig it.Versace Man Eau Fraiche is just basic clean. Nice scent, my brother wore it growing up, but it's entirely forgettable to the point that now I can barely recall the scent despite sampling it 5 days ago or so again.Le Beau EDT don't remember if I even tried, no opinion.Obsession EDT ASSUMING it's the for men one, is an amazing clean but not summery scent. Again top 10 out of anything I ever tried, CK just have such bangers.No idea what King is.
>>18726534nope
Since we're getting all autistic about Orto Parisi now, how good are the other freshies compared to Megamare? Namely Viride, Risvelium and Bergamask.
>>18726534nah you're just out of touch with what's popular. /fa/ and especially /frag/ is always years behind
>>18726584Megamare never even appears on fragtok
>>18726581>Risvelium and Bergamaskbetter
>>18726317>>18726316>>18726314it's good. it's also very /frag/, a lot of bottles this thread can't shut up abouthow's Ombre Noire? I never tried that one
>>18726323>blind buy AHS Superleggerafor what reason? do you really want to overpay for the blandest fragrance out there?
>>18725025Plenty of things will fire dopamine in your brain, and plenty of people are happier with the comfort of what they have than the risks and costs of trying new things.>>18725045Since having a full bottle will make you like it more than you would the same frag if you only tried it in a store or owned a sample, the risk is to keep the bottle for reasons that have nothing to do with how you like the scent.I hope that's clear enough now.>being skewed into liking fragsNothing wrong with it, I evidently just put more importance in the scent than in anything else.
>>18726589yes it does just not in the laggards still pushing dupeslop and LV Pacific Chill + Imagination like it's two years ago
>>18726314>>18726316>>18726317I don't like it, there are some great frags but also some tragically bland frags and lots of meme frags, I might get to like it if you cut it in half and only kept the interesting bottles.
>>18726607>yes it doesWhere? Fragtok is currently all about the weirdcore bullshit with ultra niche brands and all content is stuff like "10 fragrances that will make you smell like the backrooms"
I'll be in the south of Spain for work for the rest of the week, what frag/decant do I bring with me to let everybody know that I'm very competent and chill?Temps will range from 21° to 34°C and we have a pool.>Acqua di Sale>Light Blue Discover Vulcano>Machrie>Malibù - Party in the Bay>Viking>Teas Me>French Lover>some Enclave clone>some Pacific Chill clone>some Bal d'Afrique clone>some Sundazed clone
>>18726581Risvelium is the best of the lot. Viride was pretty linear and rather unnatural, also similar to Absinth. Bergamask is structurally identical to Megamare except its overripe lemons instead of sea notes. Don’t discount Brutus though, its not fresh but its wearable year-round. >>18726605I like the profile and I want something decent and simple for work. It will be replacing ADG EDP. I have tried all kinds of summer shit ranging from Roja and Amouage to Orto Parisi to other basic designers and none of it is quite what I want. And I can get BNIB 100ml for like 175CAD all day long. Pretty inexpensive all things considered, especially when I’m about to list like $650 in bottles and decants for sale to thin my collection.
New arrival. 2007 formulation. Opens very citrusy, then woody (I got concerned here because of how woody it was), settles after about 10 minutes into a good, masculine scent that's an earthy, citrus-lavender and spicy blend. I don't pick up any patchouli.
>>18726283The more i look at him, the more i believe that he's just a regular ALCOHOLIC.He's a polack after all.
Should I?
>>18726625What's brutus like? I don't usually like patchouli that much

>>18726448>Surely nobody else can disagree with me, you must be samefagging
>>18726581My vote goes to Viride because I generally like astringent green herbal notes. Not as "green" a weedy as Mal-Aime, and entirely wearable in the heat.Bergamask is good, but the musk has a slightly sebaceous aspect to it that isn't entirely pleasant imo after a few full wears. It isn't rotten or anything, but it has that fresh raw meat/skinner carcass type of muskiness that comes through. It's really subtle, but possible to be picked up on, esp if you've ever skinned an animal.
Osmanthe Yunnan todayfloral/fresh/tea; supposedly has orange/apricot notes but I dont detect any. shame; it would compliment the freshness lightly
>>18726672Amouage Silver Oud
>>18726731git gud, despite the small image size i could recognize about 65% of those at a glance
>>18726752Redpill me on those anime plush doll things, anonWouldn't owning one just mean he is Mexican, Indonesian, or possibly one of those weeaboo girls that have tiny backpacks with 5 million keychains (doubt)?
>>18726750>not recognizing 100% of the intuitivelyThat's a yikes from me dawg. The resolution is inexcusable but based on the fragrances and background I doubt he can afford more pixels.>>18726754You're going to get an aneurysm trying this hard.
Anyone here ever try Maison Solis? or any Bay Rum?
>>18726752anime website
>>18726731>>18726749acceptable choices
>>18726752>>18726756>>18726766Touhou is not anime though
>>18726602>how's Ombre Noire? I never tried that oneWhen I first tried it all I smelled were spices with a hint of sweet/ambery booziness. But after a while it got significantly better and the other notes (especially the fig leaf) started to pop up, probably due to the maceration process. I like it and it's probably one of the few niche-quality bang-for-the-buck perfumes out there (Lalique never disappoints in this regard).>>18726669>>Bois Imperial>>Versace Eros>in the very front of the collection is a disappointment desu senpaiTbh Eros was literally my first fragrance when I started my collection years ago, but yeah now to my nose it comes across as pretty juvenile and uninspiring and I rarely use it nowadays. BI is a pretty decent everyday freshie with good performance, though. Don't know why it's hated upon by some people.
>Byredo>Fulton & Roark>Heretic>Imaginary AuthorsWhich instafamous niche house is worth the scrip?
>>18726752>he fell for the "all weebs are pedos or trannies meme"Not him but I want to see your collections.
A milf at work just told me I wore a nice perfume. I'm in, boys...
>>18726725Anon, acquire this immediately.
>>18726795Eros Energy is based tho.

>>18726847>Aventus clone #101
>>18726902lmao how retarded do you have to be to smell eros energy and say it's an aventus clone?
>>18726903It is Aventus clone, right?
What does he wear, /frag/?
>>18726905The only similarity is in the drydown and it's slight. Don't read too much fragrantica, just go to a store and spray both.
What are some good Aventus clone but with no pineapple note? I tried Montblanc Explorer before and it was good.
>>18726926loewe esencia edp
>>18726314>>18726316>>18726317What's your favorite Loewe? Nice collection.
>>18726926Loewe Esencia EDPPour un Homme Le Matin
found this for $9 online and ordered because why not, anyone tried?
>>18726906Green Irish Tweed
Is Bois Imperial still good?
>>18726997yes
coconut + vanilla = gayiris + amber = gayjasmine + sandalwood = gaysaffron = gayaquatic notes = gaysalt + seaweed = peak
>>18727000>coconut + vanilla>mfw I tried Asad Zanzibar before
>>18727000Calone > Ambroxan
Do the Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector people ever restock? I want to try that tales of zanzibar.
>>18727000How about oud + rose?
>>18726926Are you trying to get a clone or get something that's better than Aventus that people like (>>18726905) would call an Aventus clone? And how much money are you willing to spend? Because some of these are as expensive or almost as expensive as what Creed sells Aventus for since they know people want what Aventus used to smell like. However it sorta sounds like you just want Explorer because they squash the fruit and inject it with far more wood than most. I could give you my personal recommendation, but it's not cheap and it still has fruit just not pineapple.
>>18726672Probably Avignon because of some bullshit Whistler told him about how the vampires can't stand to be near churches, or something.
>>18726954Esencia EDP, followed by Cobalt 7. Haven't smelled much of their other fragrances, tho, except for Esencia Elixir, which I like, but not as much as the EDP version.
