Luca Turin's Cartier samples

>Baiser Volé parfum
Baiser Volé (stolen kiss) is a minimal interpretation of a perfumery theme I particularly love, the chaud-froid, to borrow an old-fashioned culinary term. I first encountered it in Jean-Michel Duriez’s magnificent Yohji Homme, a fresh, spacious, cooling accord atop a warm, liquorice-spicy confection. Laurent has streamlined the contrasting pairing to a lily note, which smells very lavender-like to me, on top of a smooth coumarin-vanilla accord, reminiscent of a classic fougère. The familiarity of the materials, the wonderfully smooth articulation between them, and the deceptive simplicity of the structure all add up to an inexplicably affecting monochrome, a sepia photo that in time makes you feel color was uncalled for.

>La Panthère parfum
I have been remiss with La Panthère. I smelled the EdT rather cursorily when it came out, and I did not form a definite impression. Now Cartier has sent me samples and I went for the parfum concentration. I now see what all the fuss is about. It’s beautiful. This said, I have to disclose a personal bias: I am not very fond of big liquor-like rose fragrances. They seem to tickle with a slight discomfort, similar to the feeling I get when touching flock wallpaper. Up close, there is a raspiness to La Panthère that reminds me of both Nahema and Cacharel’s Loulou.

But that is probably not a fair test. La Panthère, like Shalimar, is an action-at-a-distance fragrance, a ballistic device that sends a widening smoke ring of perfume travelling out across the room to its intended target. Both are best judged at ten paces and can feel coarse up close. When I sprayed it on a strip, Tania almost immediately said, “That smells nice,” while I was still struggling with the thunderous bang at my end. In the Monclin, a completely different aspect prevails, a lovely transparent rose with, unusually, a pear accord making up the other half of the fruity-floral. Mathilde Laurent’s mastery of radiance is second to none. This is definitely a fragrance to be worn and used for its intended purpose, not assessed on a strip.

no one in this thread cares about cartier perfumes lol, not enough woody amber aromachemical bombs.

Just hit fragrance #36 and decided I need to burn through all of these before I buy any more… this hobby is too expensive even with sampling

It has been a true pleasure /frag/ despite many of you being sassy, prissy, faggy, pretentious narcissists good luck on your own fragrance journey and retail addiction

SOTD the humble H24 EDP

>>18100702
I just recently started and yes it is expensive for me too. I'm going to limit myself to nor more than one new bottle a month and then maybe even scale that down later.

>>18100705
that is a solid strategy

>>18100702
>>18100705
Not sure why you fags keep buying full bottles. Even a 3ml sample lasts long enough for me to get bored of the scent around the time I finish it. Then you have your 5-10ml twisty bottle decants too, which are even better.

>>18100702
Okay, bye anon. I love you. Also just buy Layton and be done with it. It's the only good fragrance.

Stop buying crap, then.

More intelligent minds seek out novel experiences. You're probably just dumb anon

>>18100716
Owning a plastic bag full of decants sure makes you a special kind of scholar and gentleman.

>>18100719
>bag
empty 9mm trays fit 2ml samples perfectly

>>18100719
It's a cardboard box, actually. And it's certainly a better use of money than your closet full of 60ml bottles that you'll never finish.

>>18100709
frags are not getting any better. stock up on what you like and gtfo.

>>18100722
>60ml
I don't mess with small bottles.

>>18100709
I don't get bored with the fragrances I have. Granted I don't have many currently but I like them all. I just get interested in others. But that doesn't stop me from still using and enjoying the ones I have.

>>18100726
Only proves my point further then.

>>18100734
I'm not a poorfag so buying full bottles of shit I like does not present a financial burden to me and I don't need to hoard vials in a box in hopes to make ends meet at the end of the month like you, professor.

Took 4 whole replies for him to pull out the "poorfag" card this time - this has to be a new record!

LMFAO the absolute state of rich-larpers on this board

>>18100754
you are coping and melting

>>18100754
It's ok, fren. Tomorrow is a new day and you'll get a new chance to not be a retard.

>damage control
Maybe stop larping so much all the time and you won't get read like a book like this. Absolutely embarassing display.

>>18100174
Not much experience with fragrances but this was my favorite until they discontinued it.

Apparently picrel is similar?

>>18100779
Not sure but I think Acqua di Gio is the number one selling men's fragrance line of all time so lots of other people share you opinion.

>>18100174
is that a crack rock in the third row

>>18100784
Never smelt it but notes include marine accords, so maybe it supposed to be sea salt?

>>18100779
i just ordered it so I'll let you know. People seem to say it's a little softer and more mass appealing because they replaced the incense with frankincense.

What is she wearing ?

my mom has the EDT of La Panthere, I've always liked it a lot
really nice and distinctive for a modern female designer fragrance. fruity, mossy and with a ton of clean white musk.

>>18099298
actually you have to have at least 6 (one for each season) otherwise you should literally get off 4chan forever and possibly kys

>>18100497
Current version? Sorry still fairly new to fragrances

This any good?

Why do you all talk about clones

I'm arab and never tried a clone

Bought pic related

>>18102934
