/fa/ - Fashion

You and me both, most of my fragrances are for fall/winter. I need to try something new other than my usual gourmand/spice.

>>10238395
Funny, just like most clothing, summer just doesn't have as many interesting options IMO. Most of my favorites are colder weather scents. And living in LA, we really don't even have real cold weather so I have to wing it.

What are some "unique" scents that are actually good?

And by unique I mean it has notes that are a bit different than what you would find or lesser used notes. So like weird shit such as ink or aldehydes, or lesser used citruses and florals.

also, why are many niche fragrances so fucking expensive?

>>10238473
supply + demand

>>10238404
This is true, I feel like although the cold weather can get dull at times, I still love having all 4 seasons and don't think i'd enjoy living in a place with no season changes year round. Winter smells are the best though because they feel more complex and less one dimensional than summer/spring scents.

>>10238388
Recs for year round day fragrance? Night?

Recs for late summer/fall fragrance?

Recs for Winter(/Early Spring when it's still cold in March) Fragrance?

>>10238564
Also, what poorfag fragrances are okay?

>>10238473
Fahrenheit is famous for having a "gasoline" note. It isn't listed as an actual note, but I do get wafts of something similar from time to time.
Terre d'Hermès has a flinty or mineralic note that I can't get enough of.
Encre Noire while it doesn't have an "ink" note listed, also implies something like it.
And I get a tar note from A*Men.
These are just frags I own, love and am familiar with. You can find some really wacky notes out there if you look. Semen, blood, rotten notes etc.

And >>10238480 basically got it right. Sure like any smaller manufacturer, the less you produce, the more expensive the cost per unit, and yes, there is a "natural" and "hand made" premium, but let's face it: Puredistance and MFK aren't advertising to the masses, they want to create a mystique that rich people will go for.

>>10238388
I bought this androgynous cologne in Y3 NYC and it's really shit compared to Santos de Cartier


Fucking overpriced piece of designer shit.

>>10238564
>>10238566
Some favorites under $50:
>year round
Terre d'Hermès
360º Black For Men
>summer
Guerlain Vetiver
Set Sail St. Barts for Men
>fall/winter
Kouros
Aramis Havana
Bulgari Black - oh yeah, >>10238473 this has a rubber note
Bentley for Men Intense

>>10238603
I don't care for Y-3 in general so it's no suprise I dont care for their line of frags either. Ironically though I still want a pair of Y-3 Warriors, TFW nobody will sell em.
Don't care for CDG frags either. Even Hinoki.

So, until recently I've only worn deosticks and not edt/edp. I had the one in the pic and liked the fragrance. I was thinking of buying the edt. Is it the same fragrance, though? I went to the mall to try it out and it didn't really smell the same.

>not owning the dankest 420 fragrance

>>10238566
poorfag cheapies that are usually highly recommended

Perry Ellis 360 Red
Nautica Voyage
Al-Rehab Silver
Ed Hardy Love and Luck
Cuba Prestige

or you can be a true poorfag and walk into your local Nordstrom or Sephora and get 1-2 ml samples of whatever you want for free.

>>10239983

btw just got Voyage off amazon and can't stop spraying this shit.

>tfw live in hawaii and cant get any fragrance online due to customs not allowing liquid delivery overseas

have to buy all my shit full price at sephora

>>10239994

i don't believe you.

http://www.fragrancenet.com/help/shippinginfo

seems to be just fine for fragrances since they aren't pressurized.

>>10239983
>Cuba Prestige
There are a couple of different ones. Is there a specific one that's a class above the others?

>>10238564
Year round day: Chanel Platinum Egoiste
Year round night: Creed Aventus (inb4 meme)

Assuming these are for the day
Late summer/fall: AdP Colonia Leather
Winter/Early Spring: Amouage Reflection Man

>>10239942
probably a tiny bit different, but you are getting what its supposed to smell like

>>10240086
http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Cuba-Paris/Cuba-Prestige-13803.html

just the regular one. it's a pretty good clone of
http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Thierry-Mugler/A-Men-705.html

>>10239942
Well i have the same but just la nuit and it smells like chit

Used to keep taps on frags

Bought DHI and Aventus. They've served my needs for 3 years now. Still do, but hey variety is good and it's nice to be ahead of the curve

What are the current meme frags?

Pic unrelated. You guys honestly should not in 201x

>>10238388
Chanel exclusifs are so good. My favourite is bel respiro

>>10239983
fwiw when I bought Tom Ford cologne at Bloomingdales they gave me roughly a dozen sample bottles of various scents (including the one I purchased). They're screw top and not pressurized, but it works for dabbing it on to your neck/wrists if thats something you're keen to do.

They lasted so long it was probably about 6 months before I started using the cologne every day. I even gave my girlfriend one since she complimented the way I smelled and we spend a decent amount of time apart

>>10240405
sorry it was actually neiman marcus, if it makes a difference. They were v. generous

Hey guys, I picked up YSL's la nuit de l'homme after seeing it discussed in one of these threads. I really like it, it's my first actual fragrance. Thanks for the recommendation.

Is it sleezy that if I'm at a girls house I'll spray a bit of my fragrance on her pillow so she will think of me until she either washes her pillow or until the scent evaporates?

>>10240437
Nah it's pretty smart.

>>10240437
Put nicotine patches on her while she sleeps and remove them before she wakes up. (doesn't work if she smokes)

>>10240484
1. Why?
2. That's weird as fuck if you actually do that.

>>10240484
>Actually believing this would work

>>10240484
That's genius dude

i figure it's time i actually get into fragrances when i get my fall/winter shopping going.

there were some guide-type images on this board forever ago, anyone have any to share? it was like a listing of fragrances for men based on tier or smell. anything along those lines help

i've been using this cheapish cologne for over a year, but everyone seems to really like it. still want something i'm more deliberately choosing instead of happy accident

>>10240484
>nut putting her finger in a glas of water

>>10240532
The begginer tier are pretty nice.

>>10240484
Why not inject her with heroin while you're at it?

>>10240599
That'd be unethical

>>10240484
this is def. one of the things they go over in serial woman murderer documentaries

> "i just needed them to be mine"

>>10240568
I had a different saved on my desktop, is there a more recent one?

>>10240437
I mean I usually piss on my hand and flick piss drops on her bed and pillow so my pheromones linger. I guess that's a shittier version of what I do, so yeah, seems fine.

>>10240641
But would it work?

>>10240667
If you have her go through a dozen tests to get the dose right, it could. But still, not a dependance to you, only to a drug, so a lack of nicotine would feel to her like something is wrong, not the need to call you.

But the first guy is on the right path: let her associate your smell to you, then spread it around, and she'll surely be thinking about you. You could also touch her shoulder, put some specific music on play... anything you can have her associate to you, and whenever it'll happen, she'll think about you.

It's very easy to influence people that way.

>>10240116
>>10238646
>>10238566
Very much appreciated, thanks!

>>10240437
Let me guess. La nuit de l'homme? :^) Ever tried Bleu de Chanel?

>>10240922
What are you implying here

>>10241093
I'm implying you just made a smililar post in a swedish forum thread regarding fragrances.

>>10238388
>using anything except demeter

>>10240379
>buy entry level fragrances
>try to tell people what fragrances thru should and shouldn't use

Lol
Let me guess, you also have a bottle of acqua de gio?

>>10238646
TdH is not for summer

What's a more mainstream fragrance to try that has mainly Iso E Super? I can't get my hands on Escentric Molecules and I don't want to blind buy.

>>10241160
Eccentric molecules is pretty much pure iso e super. That being said, a seller on EBay buys iso e super from the IFF and sells bottles for about $10. You can blind buy for that much.

How's Hanae Mori HIM edt? currently I have some blue cartier perfume... declaration I think?

Smelled Acqua Di Gio recently.

When I did smell it, it was like a very intense, sharp sensation in my nose. Which was very unpleasant. Anybody else get that?

>>10239989
Theres like 50 names of fragrance here and I never heard of nautical voyage. Literally name of it made me buy it instantly off the amazon WTF
can't wait right now really

>>10240379
IDK if that's just me but I smelled TdH the other day and it left a very chemical smell that I couldn't quite put my finger on, like gum or industrial glue.

>>10241204
Nautica voyage is a decent entry level fragrance. They usually have them at Ross or TJ Maxx and similar stores.

>>10241138
>TdH is not for summer
>orange, vetiver, pepper, grapefruit
According to whom? Summer is my favorite season to wear it. Its dry earthiness really blooms in the heat.

>>10240384
>bel respiro
Hmm haven't tried that. I've had Sycomore on my to buy list for years, but Encre Noir gets me to the same neighborhood for a fraction of the price.

>>10241200
AdG is easy to overapply and its top notes can be harsh. When applied in moderation and once it dries down, it's actually nice, albeit ubiquitous.

>>10241186
Never smelled HiM before but from what I understand it's very similar to Gucci Pour Homme II which is one of my favorite scents of all time. Very beautiful and apparent black tea note with some underlying spiciness. It it's anything close to GPHII I would definitely recommend.

Also, sounds to me like you have Cartier Declaration L'Eau, very nice and underrated flanker

>>10238388
Hey OP, or whoever it's applicable to has anyone tried Chanel Coromandel? I can buy it and it sounds right up my alley when i look it up on fragrantica.

>>10241129
Which ones do you have?

>>10238388
Best unscented deodorant? I don't want to fuck up a good colonge with old spice scents.

>>10238473
Carbone de Balmain has a very distinct carbon/pencil lead note. It's definitely a night scent and requires confidence to pull off.

CB I Hate Perfume by the master Christopher Brosius has some really interesting scents. They're more like sensory experiences than just fragrances. I have a few that I like from him:

Black March - smells like a cool March day
CB Beast - smells like cured meats - don't think it's available anymore; I got it at the showroom
Musk - pretty standard perfume note, but this is just musk and it's crazy strong - best for a base
North Atlantic - smells like North Atlantic seawater - very nostalgic for me

>>10240014
>http://www.fragrancenet.com/help/shippinginfo
you know hawaii isnt part of the 48 contiguous states right?

>>10242034
of equal interest. i've never been pit-stains bad, but solid cover of anything scent is mucho needed. or at least something that compliments but doesn't overpower body kouros i guess

>>10242121
>>10240014
just checked. they do ship to hawaii but the price of shipping makes it more expensive than buying it full retail at sephora

>>10242126
I'm gonna swing by a pharmacy tomorrow and try one/a few and I'll post in a future fragrance thread about it.

>>10242137

are you including the 25% off coupon?

>>10241624
Hi OP here. Not quite sure what your question is, but Coromandel is a gorgeous, creamy, rich, sophisticated, expertly blended patchouli and white chocolate concoction. But as always, it is recommended to try before you plunk down $160 on a bottle.

>>10242034
I don't know about "best," but I've been using picture related for years and rarely stink even at the end of the day. For those days where I know I'm going to be sweating extra hard I use Mitchum gel.

Issey Miyake Pour Homme Summer edition
Or
Yves Saint Laurent L'homme

>>10241633
thunderstorm and that petrichor scented stuff is the only one i use. it gets kind of expensive so it might not be a viable option for others but it is the the best stuff that money can buy

>>10242733
I've thought about buying chocolate, might be too much for a man.

Can somebody describe to me what aldehydes smell like?

>>10243147
There are different types of aldehydes but it's basically different interpretations of mixed floral notes. I think it's what gives off that "old people" smell, and actually there is some research which suggests that it may be the result of 2-Nonenal, an unsaturated aldehyde

>>10242034
Yeah, was wondering this
what do you guys use for deodorant?

Best beginner, budget fragrances? Something like $50 tops.

>>10242435
yves saint laurent l'homme is pretty uninteresting imo

>>10243874
It's almost as if you ignored the whole thread.

>>10243147

some people say it smells ozonic

Why do you guys use deodorant? do you guys use it over your antiperpspirant?
smelling when you sweat is just disgusting, reminds me of smelling teen spirit and shitty secret scents off girls.

>>10244022
protip antipersperspirants do not work
that's why most shit now is caleld deodorant-antiperspirant

>>10238473
Anyone try Comme Des Garcon Black?
I have a 2 ml sample of it and I really enjoy it, but I haven't smelled many leathery/peppery/tar scents so I don't know what to compare it too. Very strong black pepper note though

>>10244022
i wear antiperspirant deodorant and i put on aventus.

thoughts?

Here's a question for anybody who would love to share their answer:

What is a fragrance/scent you desperately want to pull off but can't because of anything such as price, stigma, too feminine/masculine, ANYTHING. Just something where you smell that shit and think "Fuck I want to wear this but probably couldn't pull it off because..."

I know the feel all too well

>I love and want to wear Chanel - No 5
>I'm an 18 year old guy

Just got some Bleu De Chanel as a gift, I'm not much of a cologne guy but I'm really digging it. Is it more of a daytime only scent or will it work night and day?

>>10244552
>buying samples

Lol

What smells like a cold november day with a hint of warmth?

>>10244700
literally who gives a fuck, male/female is just marketing, if you like the scent of something, wear it.
it's not like you're brandishing the bottle with you at all times for anyone to see HEY HES USING A GIRLY BOTTLE OF PERFUME

pls help guys. I tried pic related today (both of them) and i think they are pretty similar scents. While bvlgari man was more woody and smooth, spice bomb was more dense in spice.I like spicy perfumes and hence spice bomb was pretty good in my opinion but bvlgari man was like more rich and elegant to me. what would you prefer? Or do you suggest something else? oh btw, I used to wear Costume National Homme before.

>>10244700
I wear my girls perfume a lot, also her holister body mists. It smells good, people compliment me on it and i like it

>>10245285
Right. My every day perfume.

>>10244700
This>>10245177
Use perfume not for others but for yourself.

>mfw price of CB I Hate Perfume fragrances

I saw one being sold for $500...for 10 ml..

Also, are his other fragrances worth it? Despite the fact that was just one I saw; some of them are highly praised and I was curious of some of the cheaper ones ($110+/100 mL) seemed good but again the samplers are beyond anything I've ever seen.

>>10245285
I prefer the Bvlgari. Like you said I think it gives off a more sophisticated and elegant vibe where as Spicebomb is more youthful and playful. Both excellent choices though and you can't really go wrong so just pick the one you like more. Also, FWIW, the Bvlgari one can be had pretty cheaply online whereas you'll probably have to pay close to retail for Spicebomb

>>10244811
Bleu is probably the most versatile scent out there, you can honestly wear it whenever you want

>>10245177

well if he's wearing something as famous as Chanel No 5 he might as well be brandishing the bottle

how do you guys put on your cologne?

>>10246484
1 spray on each inner forearm

1 spray behind each ear/neck area

4 spray total

I don't know if it might be too much though

Is Montale good? They seem pretty highly regarded but I never see them talked about on here.

>>10246511
that is way too much. 1-3 is recomended. 3 is recommended for edt while 2 is for edp. 1 is for the highly concentrated. But whatever works, just don't reapply ever 4 hours. You may not be able to smell it but people will.

Anyone tried this?

>>10246511
how to turn off girls, like me, step one^

>>10246831
edt=eau de toilette
edp=eau de parfum

Right?

>>10247176
Is it more of a wintery scent, summery scent or year-round/doesn't matter?
Not too much info from users on base notes (few reviews)
http://www.basenotes.net/ID26134447.html

>>10247200
yes

>>10246831
>>10246511
Shut the fuck up. One spray down the shirt to the chest and you're gold for the day. If you really feel the need to re-apply you are causing yourself trouble. Scents aren't even that fucking important anyway unless you're using it to compensate.

FIN AND DONE

What cheap stuff do you recommend, I find this too sweet but have some Burberry Sport that I like and don't mind Davidof Cool Water, I only have what people have given me as gifts.

>>10247232
Like anyone's going to take advice from you.

1 spray at each side of neck, one spray on wrist and rub together

>>10246831
>Perfume Expert

>>10247200
yes

>>10247318
thats way too much, you dont want to rub your wrist because you will burn out the fragrance quicker. You would skip the top notes of the perfume. Tsk, your advice is shit.

>>10238388
I work in networking and I'm looking for a scent that'd resonate with the people around me.
Is there a fragrance for burning silicone, beige plastic, lithium-ion, or anything else that's not completely natural?

>>10246831
how do you apply edt perfume expert man

Affordable fragrance for really hot weather(90-110F) anyone?

>>10248400
Bvlgari - Black: Rubber
Comme des Garçons - Odeur 71: Metal, Ink, Bamboo
Comme des Garçons - 2: Ink
Comme des Garçons - 2011: Industrial Glue, Brown Scotch Tape
Blood Concept - Pretty much all their scents have Metal
Comme des Garçons - 8 88: Metal
CB I Hate Perfume - Everything he makes; Includes: Pebbles, Seashells, Roast Beef, Dandelion, etc...
Etat Libre d`Orange - Everything they make; Includes: Popcorn, Gunpowder, and other weird shit like semen, blood, saliva, and other stuff.

Lots of CdG there, only because they're very unusual with their scents others they have can either be just "alright" or weird in it's own way. Like "Play Black" smells like straight up black pepper. "Sherbet Cinnamon" obviously just smells cinnamon-y and is more safe.

Whilst you should ALWAYS sample a fragrance before you buy it, if you try to blind buy ones like these you might get fucked over. Because trying to like some of those is hard and requires a certain person. CB I Hate Perfume is generally safe, albeit I would make sure you realize what you're getting to. Love his scents, if I could have only perfume from only one perfumer it'd be that guy.

>>10248467
Nautica Voyage

Favorite scents for non-perfume stuff like Hand soap, Body wash, Shampoo?

>>10247232
This totally depends on the performance of the fragrance.

Here's a tip: don't be an autist and ask your friends and family. I bought a new one recently and applied two sprays. Two hours later I met up with a friend and asked him what he thought. He could barely smell it while sniffing my chest, so now i apply slightly more. This isn't rocket science.

>>10247305
I dont mind CK One Shock, despite the horrific bottle and and the fact its CK, its a pretty decent winter frag for the price, decent longevity and sillage and surprisingly not one of the generic summer citrus scents the seem to have been regurgitating the last couple of years

Sorry for the awful picture but it's all I got, baby.

Can anybody identify this fragrance?

>>10248842
Mint, sage, vetiver, rosemary, bergamot, cedar, several mixes from Juniper Ridge, and sometimes musk or sea salt when they're done well.

>>10248842
Basil + mint (together)
Fig, bergamot, salt, cedar, guava

>>10249285
Basil and lemon I mean, fuck.

>>10249204

>>10248458
Okay, one spray on each forearm. Why forearm instead of wrist you may ask, well on your forearm there's thing thing called hair. Hair has oils and more surface area. You spray the perfume on it so it could stick better to the hair and oils. And one on your neck so you could smell it as well and also when your girlfriend (if you have one) could smell it when she gets close to you during intimacy. Sure you may ask "the wrist has heating points". Well put your lips on your wrist then your forearm. Do you feel much difference? Maybe like 1 degree apart.

>>10248842
i like irish spring. Pomegrante shampoo. Irish spring smells great and it feels great. The shampoo and condition is just my gf stuff.

>>10246261
Probably it's because its all of the nordstrom frag combined together to make a shitty combination.

Say what you want about Varvatos, but the guy makes a pretty decent cologne

>pic related

>>10244552
Yeah, his stuff is pricey. Worth it though. There's a reason he's considered a master of his craft.

>>10245069
I totally get the buying samples thing. Scents work differently on different people. Buying a fragrance is not something to do on a whim and with something like CB that you can't just go try in a department store it really makes sense to get samples first.

>>10250484
>Perfume Expert

>>10250887
I should add that a lot of his stuff is best as a sort of slice of life for you to experience and enjoy rather than a fragrance to wear out in the traditional sense. That's another reason to pick up samples first. There are some affordable options on eBay.

>>10241204
i once rec'd nautica voyage to an anon on /fa/, he fucking loved it and kept posting about it

it's a good scent, it's hard to not like it.

This is the best shit ever I swear

If you encountered somebody else who was wearing your signature/favorite scent, would you really enjoy it and think "That nigga got great taste" or would you dislike it.

asking for a friend

>>10244700
For me it would be Tom Ford TV. I actually like the smell but it just feels very out of place on me.

>>10245069
Nobody buys them. If you actually bought high end frags in volume you'd know you get them for free from reputable dealers.

>>10251413
Depends on the wearer. It might put me on notice if the guy is really douchey or a gypsy or something. If the guys seems reasonable, I will think better of him, probably for the sake of avoiding cognitive dissonance.

Can I have some recs, I'm starting a new job and so would like a signature scent I could wear everyday.
I open to anything but nothing that smells too mature/for older people (I'm 20).
I tried givenchy Pi and Nuit d'lomme and liked both (Pi moreso).
Only other thing is that I will be workig in a lab so it cant be too overpowering.

Bleu de Chanel or La Nuit de l'Homme?

Any androgynous verged fragrances? I don't want something screamingly female like vanilla, but I lean toward softer scents. I also look like I lean towards softer scents. Tips?

how'd i do with this

the only cologne i had before this was YSL la nuit meme

>>10253932
That's a hard one. They're 2 completely different scents so it'd be silly to compare them. I have La Nuit, it's smoother than BdC (perfume) which I tested today. The lady gave me a sample too.

>>10255077
Was it a blind buy? I've tested it and it's pretty powerful compared to a lot of the stuff out there. I didn't like it but the 2nd time it started to grow on me. I'll have to test it a 3rd time. It's not something I'd blind buy.

dsquared rocky mountain he wood is safe to blind-buy right ?

>>10256136
NOTHING is safe to blind buy. That said, I do it all the time. I also have a bunch of frags I don't wear much.

>>10255077
Very good all around sent imo. Better in the Summer probably. It's the last cologne I bought but I don't wear it (or anything) these days.

>>10256221
Have you tried the Summer Edition flankers?

how'd i do effay?
reminded me of bleu de chanel, but a little less strong and doesn't last as long

>>10253900
Chanel Platinum Egoiste, very professional smelling, woody floral scent that is fresh enough for summer but not your generic fresh citrus scent that would get washed out in colder months

I want to smell like a sharp, freezing winter, direct me please.

I've been thinking about getting myself this, any reasons why I should or shouldn't?

>>10257418
get essenza instead, unless you want to smell like everyone else

What are great fragrances with Patchouli & Amber?

>also, on skin will project better, on clothes will last longer
Protect from what? Smell?
I mostly put on perfume because I like the smell of the perfume. (I think my sweat after 1 or 2 days is sexier than perfume tbh.)
Isn't deo and so on for "protection" during the day?

>>10251757
>you get them for free from reputable dealers

like where?

Was thinking about buying the following:

>CdG - 2

I bought this (3rd bottle already) and YSL L`Homme this week

Eau Fraiche is the shit, fresh as fuck, but depending on where you live, you're not ging to use it very much, since this frag shines on very hot weather

>>10240437
She'll probably just assume you've been doing something dirty with her pillow as soon as she figures out that her pillows start smelling like you every time you visit

>>10260825
>shines on very hot weather
>tfw when you live in las vegas
>tfw its brutally hot 14 months of the year
sc0re

>>10245285
Smelled both today spicebomb all the way

In Paris at the moment. Going to buy a bunch of Creed (it's about 2/3rd to half the price compared to the NYC boutique).

>>10257512
>I think my sweat after 1 or 2 days is sexier than perfume tbh.

Only you think that.

>>10261470
Check the U.S. customs site so that you don't go over the limit.

Perfume duties are calculated separately from other goods you're importing, and it's easy to go over the duty free limit for perfumes.

>>10261470
How much for Aventus 4oz there?

what deodorant should i use?
should i buy the deodorant equivalent of my perfumes or something unscented? suggestions?
i fucking hate how my sweat smells and it fucking reeks if i don't put anything on it even if i shower but i hate all old spice(all i got) and i dont want to ruin my beautiful perfumes

I tested Aqua di gio for the first time (because it's popular) and I got a very pleasant "fizzy" carbonated scent. Anyone else?

>>10261736
odorless deo obviously

>>10242435
Issey is probably the best blind purchase you can make, probably a fair bit cheaper too

>>10261117
too bad it lasts like 2 hours in hot weather

What is the best Bond No 9?

I have a job interview coming up, and I can't decide between using
>Declaration D'un Soir
>Solare
>Pi
Which do you think would be best? I'll be wearing jacket and tie. I'm leaning towards Solare.

>>10264522
andy warhol by a long shot, but hard to find

>>10264522
New York Oud

>>10264522
Really curious on what people think of this brand. I want to buy Bond No. 9 I Love New York For All.

>>10264725
The brand is great. They are not flawless because they've made garbage like Little Italy.

Can't speak much on I Love New York For All, but a lot of them are brilliant.

>>10264733
What would you recommend for a good Bond No 9 frag? I'm planing on buying a 1.7 ounce perfume.

>>10264942
Just got this as well. Good shit

>>10264522
Shelter Island, Wall St, Signature, Brooklyn, Manhattan some of my favorites.

>>10264823
find a Saks Fifth Ave near you. they'll have a Bond rep who will spray everything for you and give you a bunch of samples

>>10264662
>mfw they discontinued it

Why Bond No 9? Why?

That shit used to be my signature scent. The plum was so lovely and people loved it and it made me feel good. And now I would have to shell out like fucking $400+ for that shit.

Bring it back, please. Why did it even leave?

>>10265847
Probably expiration of Andy Warhol licensing.

>>10266013
the dudes fucking dead, who owns the rights to that shit.
regardless, they should have just rebranded, really stupid to have to discontinue a scent just because you lose the face on the bottle.

>>10264725
I use wall street and another one I can't remember the name.

I don't want to spend a buttload on ANOTHER flanker.

What should I layer with A*men to get to Ultra Zest?

How much can I get for these? I want to sell them as a set

1. What Bottles have you actually finished?

2. How big were they? How long did they last?

3. Would/did you buy it again?

>>10266542
Without proof they're legit, not a lot. Check out what http://theperfumedcourt.com/ gets for legit decants and then try for a fraction of that.

>>10266542

How many ML of each?

This is my usual scent

>>10250932
Acne meme, so tell about the notes?

Is Le Male effay or too fucking overdone?

>>10267057
I can't tell

>>10268026
depends on the people you hang around.

>>10268057
>implying I don't just sit well-dressed and great-smelling in my basement too anxious to go outside

So I just tried on La Nuit to see what all the memeing was about. It smells really spicy, kinda like somthing an old man would wear. Is my nose shot or what?

Which is the best of the A*men line?
I'm looking for versatility.
I recently tried ultra zest and love it so was wondering how the others stack up.

>>10268237
Nope. That's about it, it's simple and pleasing and that does the job for popularity.

>>10268646
Pure Malt. There is also a camp that would argue for Pure Havane, but no, it's Pure Malt.

>>10268646
Btw I wouldn't consider any of the A*Men scents versatile. They are loud, clubby, night-out scents IMO. But for what they are they are pretty hard to beat.

>go to a girl's house
>girl and her mom ask what smells good

What are some fragrances similar to 1 million other than Joop!

>>10269521
Well, what was it anon?

>>10242034
CERTAINDRI

Shit's prescription-grade. You can get it at some drugstores in the US, dunno about yurop

Just copped so that I can fulfill my dream of smelling like a bottle of Tanqueray

>>10269642
Nice. This smells just like you think it does. Discontinued but can be had for cheap on eBay. I wear it once or twice a summer for a nice change up.

>>10269540
Try the intense version of 1 million, I prefer it over the original.

>>10269540
Versace Eros
Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men
Paco Rabane Black XS
Polo Red Intense
Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme

None of those smell anything like 1 million but they fit that same mold of being loud, sweet scents that work best for clubbing/nights out

>>10238388
>just bought A* Men Thierry Mugler

Did I fucked up?

>>10270514
I have to say I hated it at first, but over time I saw the error of my ways and now I accept it as a modern masterpiece. As someone who doesn't usually follow seasonal conventions, I probably wouldn't wear this in hot weather, and go easy on the trigger until you work out dosage.

>>10269642
my question from the last thread then, how long does it last on you
cause it had zero staying power on me

>>10244167
i have BLACK and CDG2
BLACK is SUPER strong and sticks to everything. but I love the smell, and i get a lot of people telling me i smell like a campfire, a nice campfire

>>10271887
>CDG2
Describe this one, friend.

>>10271887
CDG2 man or just CDG2

where do you buy samples?
i want to buy some tom ford but i don't know whats a safe place to pick from

>>10272166
luckyscent, or you can just email them and ask, which works with some parfumiers
