/frag/ has always been ahead of the curve
>the infographics being staple internet resources about fragrances copied and reposted everywhere from reddit through blogs to facebook profiles of niche perfume shops
>/frag/ shilling Areej Le Dore around the time the first line was released
>talking shit about masstige brands when everyone and their mother was still hooked on Jeremy and Parfums de Marly
>making Bois Imperial a global bestseller before anyone had known about it
Listen, the masstige infographic is going to destroy some of the brands you see on it. Screencap it. The tide has been steadily growing since it was created. People are getting visibly fed up with bullshit that all these brands try to pull off.

It's a more interesting niche brand than 90% of crap sold in department houses. You've got correct intuition. The Smell of Weather Turning, Breath of God or Tank Battle are all excellent fragrances. Sarah McCartney was working for them for some time as a perfumer. In what way are they turning into crap? I might get some bottles before it's too late.

Hit me up on Parfumo: Polskibrit. I might move that bottle at some point.

Legendary brand. They lost some of their direction over the last decade but some of their new releases are as good as classics (for example La Couche du Diable).
>>17940426
It's old /frag/ lore. Dig into archives. Start with pic rel.
>>17940486
I was typically giving Jul Et Mad Nea, Une Nuit Magnetique The Different Company, Hermes Twilly or Parfums d'Empire Le Cri to girls I was seeing.
>>17940934
This is the correct take.
>>17941205
Just sprayed my sample. Clean, aromatic and very pleasant "cologne'y" opening. The patchouli note is green and nettle-like with some of the woody-cocoa aspects stressed. Really decent release.

How old are you?

And last but not least, the iceberg.

Available at the local store, right next to the CdG stuff. I probably just disregarded it because the CdG stuff was so interesting.

Non-schizo: Avestan
Schizo: Pick something from the iceberg at the bottom.

Iceberg Level 6:
>Designer? Fake-nichee? Indie, artisan? Vintage? Doesn't matter. It's about smells.
Some people just haven't reached that level yet.

NTA but it's usually just two charts under the OP, perfectly fine. It's me who occasionally reposts the other charts. I didn't make them and I didn't make the thread, though.
Complaints always pop up every few thread, but they never result in any action like improved/updated/changed charts, so it's basically just background noise.

Tag yourselves. I have been out of the loop from /frag/ for quite a long time. What is the state of the general in your opinion? Are there any new notorious posters? Have any oldfags come back in the meantime? Seems like the threads maintained momentum, a variety of designer and niche fragrances is discussed, and we should reach the #1000 thread this year.

The /frag/ general iceberg.

Do you mean the meme-iceberg probably from a few years ago?

>matching fragrance to personality
That's absolutely how it works. I'm happy to do some matches upon providing this info: personality/budget/age.
>>17271395
What's your budget and age?
>>17270940
Nasomatto is mostly marketing. Get Carner Barcelona Cuirs on discounters if you want some niche alike Black Afgano but more economical.
>>17270893
>Anyone else have pardon? What is that note that lingers all day? Is that Oud?
It is this "oud" indeed. Exactly the Firmenich's recreation of it: https://pellwall.com/products/oud-synthetic-firmenich if you want more info

This is like asking what is the difference between light rays spectrum and a paint.
