How are there "tiers" in fragrances? I mean sure there are ones that are more diligently produced with artisinal care but at the end of the day, it all comes down to how good you smell after application and mixing with your body's natural scent.

Tuscan leather smelling like a brick... legit smells like cocaine it fucks with my head so bad.

>>10276866
Whatever happened to that neat and informative first post?

>>10278647
Sorry anon I based it off the last one and that was just some dude talking about how he just got some chanel off Craigslist.
>>10278531
I keep hearing that but I've never been around it to confirm, always thought people were bsing

anyone try pic related yet? im sure it will be the next meme frag. got a sample today: bergamot, pepper, a little woods, a little amber. very underwelming and horrible performance but girls will like this and blow it up. bleu de chanel comparisons arent unsubstantiated but are far fetched.

>>10278860
it really does smell just like it mayne

>>10278647
OK. Google "perfume" and read the first couple links. Basenotes and Fragranitca. Happy now?

>>10278860
>some chanel
That was motherfucking Coromandel!

I use this shit. Smells nice.

>>10276866
This is the best scent I've ever owned. I tried samples from various Niche brands like Le Labo, Creed, Amouage, MDCI, Tom Ford, and other Bond No. 9. And most of that stuff is out of my price range of $100 for a 1.7-3.0 oz bottle.

So I decided to get pic related. And the notes are really interesting. Very smooth almost chocolaty, kinda dark, unisex, and kinda vanilla.

Very smooth. If a women wore it though I would think she is a high class punkster.

>>10279374
Bare in mind that the only 2 other fragrances I've owned are Lalique Encre Noire, and Kenzo Jungle.

Which are alright, but I dislike the Jungle. It is too bright for me. I prefer darker scents. And Lalique Encre Noire is a good woodsy scent, but kinda intoxicating to a point.

I Love New York For All is better then those two by a wide margin. I would put it competitively with the Niche fragrances I've mentioned. Not as good as Tom Ford, Le Labo, and Amouage. But it competes fairly with the others.

Thinking about getting a sample bottle of CB Fire From Heaven, should I get the water perfume or absolute?

>>10279512
Water

Perfume ain't worth a fuck. That shit is mostly for just pulling up to your nose and taking a whiff.

>>10276866
Don't buy the Tobacco Vanille, friend. I fell into the same trap. Sampled it for the first time and bought it right there on the spot. It's pretty intoxicating the first few times you wear it, too. At some point like two weeks in, your nose will turn on you and every time you spray that bottle, it smells like a cheap candle.

Maybe this is just me and my nose, but damn I've never had a fragrance turn on me like that.

Current go-to fragrances:
Santal 33
L'Air du Desert Marocain
Escentric 02
Invasion Barbare
Tobacco Oud

>>10278909
I didn't remember the name! I have poor memory, please don't spite me based anon. That and I'm too lazy to search in the archive for 5 seconds.
>>10279591
ty for the informative help, definitely will sample those!

>>10279374
There's pretty cheap bottles of I Love NY For All on Amazon right now

Worth a cop?

basic af but i like it

>>10279736
>I have poor memory
Aw I was just playing. :3

this single handedly got me a handy the first night i wore it

she was into me, but this made her grab my dick the second she smelled it

>>10279591
I really disagree. I've been using it for around 9 months and still really enjoy it. I actually bought it before I started going in the frag threads so I didn't really know it was "meme fragrance." but it still smells great to me and it gets a lot of compliments.

Granted, I live in an area where people rarely spend that kind of money on cologne.

>>10276941
Bond no. 9 is arguably god tier

>>10280148
>arguably
Key word here, friendo.

My top two favorite scents are Andy Warhol by Bond No 9 and 2 by Comme des Garcons yet I still think Bond No 9 overall is only above average and CdG is fairly mediocre.

They add musk to pretty every scent they got and it really fucks with a lot of them. Little Italy REALLY took a hit from that, it's down right one of the worst I've ever smelled.

So yeah, they're up there but like perfumers such as Creed they don't really have too much of a Wow factor to them.

anyone have experience w pic related?
safe blind buy?

>>10280424
>safe
>blind buy
The terms are mutually exclusive. Never let anyone tell you different.

Does anyone have a Fragrance buying guide?

Just tried like 5 samples, Green Irish Tweed is a lot stronger than I thought it would be, I think I may have found a winner in Montale Dark Aoud though.

>>10280424

It's about as safe as blind buys get bro, that was my first scent and I didn't sample it or anything else before I got it, was very happy with it.

>>10280699
Nope, but I'll try to make a shitty one for you.

First off, you should most likely go to any store that can sell fragrances like Sephoras, Nordstrom, etc. Sample any of the fragrances they have available. There is the stigma around "perfume for women, cologne for men" blah blah who gives a shit. If you LIKE it, then wear it. Doesn't matter if you're a guy, girl, 15, 40, whatever. Like it? Want to wear it? Wear it. I walked past some goofy teenager the other day at the mall and he was wearing Chanel No 5. Kid was probably like 16-16. Guess what? It WORKED. But I digress, so just sample several on the sampling strips, narrow it down. And whenever you find 1 or 2 that you like, spray it on your skin, then go about the day and let it develop and see how it reacts with your skin. You'll figure out if it smells good, bad, the sillage, longevity, etc. And just go from there: Does it smell amazing? That could be a plus but if for example the longevity was garbage. You might want to look for another fragrance unless you don't mind those issues. Then basically just but whatever you like.

Always sample before you buy something, luckyscent.com is where you can purchase a shit ton of samples if you want to get some fragrances that you might not otherwise be able to. However a lot of perfumeries do send out free samples, so email any perfumery and see if they'd be willing to work with you. Most will, however some will tell you to fuck off.

Now, as for some 'suggestions' for perfumers...generally the more popular shit like Acqua Di Gio and such are fine, they tend to not smell awful to most and you'll probably end up liking it. BUT, again, not everyone will like it so sample that shit regardless. I personally think that some fragrances like Creeds, Tom Fords, etc are GREAT but they're not $200, $300, $400+ great. Some people can do that, I can't because I'm broke as shit.

Tom Ford, Creed, Le Labo, CB I Hate Perfume, CdG, Tauer, etc.

>>10280882
I'm a bit pressed for time so I'm sorry that I couldn't make this better. My punctuation, some spelling, and other shit isn't really great. But it should do for now. I actually plan on collaberating with a small-time animator friend of mine in a couple years (Yeah, that's a while) making a vid on buying fragrances and explaining some little details such as Occasions, Night/Day, Seasons, Notes, etc.

>>10280699

This one is old but still good, takes a long time for things to change in the scent world.

>>10276866

Tobacco Vanille is great. I use the beard oil myself.

His entire fragrance division is top tier stuff. Keep in mind that Tom Ford got his start selling perfume.

just picked up some more tobacco vanille samples from a boutique (i don't want to wait for delivery) and oud wood. ready to purchase some noir de noir
I wish I sampled more fragrances, but the salesperson was ready to haul my ass out of there and the other table had only empty bottles there.

>>10280993
:3

I have gotten the feeling I wore out my welcome with one girl who work(s)(ed) at the Scent Bar in LA. Only went in twice and never monopolized her time. I was ready to drop some cash, but her attitude really pissed me off and I haven't been back in years.

>the other table had only empty bottles there.
d'wat

Overrated.

What is this infographic trying to convey?

>>10281133

Buy Tom Ford if you're a man and pink shit if you're a girl.

>>10281133
probably just some good fragrances and a price bracket thing but that doesn't explain the ralph+ calvin being higher than versace

>>10281154
Yes, but what do all of them have in common?

>>10281163
i've only smelled the tom fords, but based on just that: nothing
all three of those TF are completely different

>>10276866
What's a sort of classic men's fragrance that may have been popularized in the 40s-60s?

>>10276941
its fine. Creed should be elder god tier since they have good reputation and can satisfy everyones needs while also having some legendary scents like Aventus. (which i personally don't care for but it satisfies the majority )

>>10281466
>Perfume Expert

>>10280890
millisime imperial absolutely has no musk in it

where do you buy CB i hate perfume, maybe I wasn't looking hard enough but my local mall didn't have any in the nordstrom neiman and sak's
barney's had Le Labo, but no CB

>>10281584
Nobody carries it. You have to buy directly from his website.
Buy some samples. His fragrances are more olfactory artwork in most cases. He has an uncanny ability to recreate and bottle "scenes", none of which you'd actually wear as a fragrance but still incredible nonetheless:
At the beach 1966
CB beast
Greenbriar 1968
In the library
Memory of kindness
In the summer kitchen

But he does have some fragrances that are suitable for wearing as actual fragrances:
7 billion hearts
Fire from heaven
Russian caravan tea
Patchouli empire
CBMUSK
M1 Narcissus

Then there are some that I just think are way too subtle for my taste:
M4 Room with a view
M5 Where we are there is no here
To see a flower
Under the arbor

However, the main issue even with the fragrances that are wearable is longevity. Two hours tops, man. Pretty terrible.

>>10281561

You're in the minority if you think that.

My gf heavily complimented me on wearing this so what kind of scents should I go for?
I have Marigela Jazz Club and that got nothing but approval.

Tuscan Leather is way too intense for a frail 4chan fashion board poster

It also smells like true leather. Like a leather daddy would wear and get soaked in jizz. Like a tired baseball glove. Like an old Cadillacs back seats.

If you want to smell like leather, this is exactly it.

Do not cop.

Tom Ford makes great fragrances. Tuscan Leather is not a good choice for most people.

>>10280890
I like the new 1 Million more than the original.

>200 fucking euros for 50ml of parfum
I mean... why?

>>10282957
because "tom ford"
>>10282919
I only smelled the top notes on a card and it was already repulsive, but I thought that about tobacco vanille and then I liked it, but you're right, not copping.

I sampled Zafar by Xerjoff today

>mfw

Pretty new to cologne. So far I've tried Armani Code (meh), YSL La Nuit (love, still have a bottle), and Hermes Terre d'Hermes (delicious, still have a bottle).

Can anyone recommend me a third cologne that would give me a diverse little collection? I'm thinking something that I'll want to wear during the winter.

>>10282957
don't know specifically about tom ford but a lot of higher end frags use actual extracts instead of synthetic copies of the odorants

>>10281095
Smells great though so what's the problem?

>>10276866
Are there any good masculine fragrances with a rosemary note?

I like:

Versace Eros
Polo Red Intense
Invictus
New 1 Million

Though, Polo Red Intense and Invictus smell remarkably similar.

In the future, I'd like to get Tom Ford's Black Orchid and Noir in the white, and maybe Spicebomb.

Why does Tom Ford have to cost so much.

>>10283127
spice bomb is good for winter, for some reason fa hates it though. CDG blue encens is good for fall winter but you'd want to sample it first.

>>10283127
you've got two "standard" frags - go for something a little off the wall
Sultan by Serge Lutens is tasty but not boring and its great for winter

uuuh Yohji Homme is also good - smells like rum and suits a winters morning just as well as a summers evening

>>10283127
I have those two as well, with a few other meme frags. Aventus and TV

if its not tuscan leather then ur doing it wrong

I broke my boycott of any products incorporating the word 'artisan' for this cop. It's that good.

Think rainy day in new york city with tobacco, bergamot and coriander.

>>10283165
This satisfies both of your criteria if you don't mind the price tag

>>10283092
>because "tom ford"
Even Hermes, the company that sells fucking candles for 350 bucks, sells their fragrances for 80 bucks/100ml.

And Tom Ford isnt even that much of an acknowledged tailor. His suits are ridiculously underwhelming. What the hell.

>>10283130
But Tom Ford is a fucking fashion label, not a perfumer.

>>10282783
Essential is a very fresh, aromatic citrus fragrance. It's not unusual that your gf liked it, most women tend to prefer fresh and clean smelling scents. Pretty much every designer house has a fresh/citrus frag so unfortunately its kind of hard to find one that really stands out (that is, if you care about smelling unique). These are some that I think are a cut above and worth checking out

Dior Homme Sport
Dior Homme Cologne
Bvlgari Aqva Amara
Versace Man Eau Fraiche
Versace Pour Homme
Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche
Lalique White
Carolina Herrera 212 Men
Guerlain Homme L'Eau Boisee
Terre D'Hermes Eau Tres Fraiche

>>10283127
Dior Homme

Just picked up Maison Martin Margiela Replica in the Lazy Sunday Morning scent. Fucking smells godly. One spray does enough. Even though it says female fragrance its pretty much unisex. I suggest you check it out and their other scents. Packaging is pretty /fa/ too.

>>10283464
True, I'd have a hard time believing Tom Ford uses higher quality ingredients than Hermes for perfumes to justify the price tag. I've read somewhere sometime Creed uses all natural ingredients, so it fairly backs the jump in the price. That and they've been around for over two fucking centuries and a half.

But in the end what expensive perfume houses, niche or not, have fair prices for what they offer. I guess that's just as subjective as the scents themselves.

>>10283178
Because Tom ford has good reputation from Gucci and theres a good amount of people who would pay that price.

>>10283127
invictus.

bump

>>10283527
tried every single one at sephora, so underwhelming

>>10285109
used to wear kyoto and avignon a lot, got bored of them though. I stick with standard these days

>>10283723
>fragrances for over two centuries
no, they've been making clothes for over two centuries, not fragrance, their story is bullshit and that can easily be looked up to see that they were tailors
as for the natural ingredients, creed is famous for using things like ambergris, so yes, that's true

>>10283148
He wants something with more "exclusive" logo on it.

>leave Fragrance Generals a few months ago because every thread the same as the last
>check in today
>yep, still the same shit

How? Surely, you aren't all new. Don't you get tired discussing the same handful of perfumes over and over again?

>>10286600
It's not like designers houses come out with dozens of new perfumes every season and the old ones get shown the door like with clothes.

So apparently an EDP version of Dolce & Gabbana The One is on its way. Currently being sold in duty free shops in Europe. Although there seems to be no mention of it on their website this seems 100% legit with a bunch of people confirming that it is on sale. Sooooo excited to try this, The One is hands down one of my favorite smells but like most people I get shit longevity and projection

>>10283723
>True, I'd have a hard time believing Tom Ford uses higher quality ingredients than Hermes for perfumes to justify the price tag

I have a decant of Tuscan Leather and it smells so similar to leather that it confuses me

>>10286765
What the fuck, I bought a bottle of The One about 2 weeks ago..Mine has pretty good longevity

>>10287948
When do you wear TL? I want to buy some but I don't understand when I'm going to be possibly wearing it.

>>10288906
I don't. It's a winter scent though.
I just don't want to go around smelling like a new car.

>>10288938
Yeah, that's what I thought. It's a great scent, but I'm not the interior of a car or a baseball mit.

>>10288941
I'd try Tobacco Vanille, it's not odd if someone smells like a sweet tobacco.

>>10288964
Already have it, looking to add onto my TF fragrances and frags in general.
Right now I have TV, Versace Man Eau Fraiche, and Dior Eau Sauvage, and I'm just about to buy some Noir de Noir(already sampled it in store and love it)

Just got a sample of Comme des Garcons - Sherbet: Cinnamon

Smells like cleaning fluid

10/10 would wear it

Just picked up pic related. Anyone else tried it?

>>10289818
forgot pic

>>10286765
that bottle is so fucking sexy.

I got a bunch of samples from Luckyscents, was wondering what you guys thought of:
Tauer l'air du desert marcoain
Amouage jubilation XXV
Parfume Generale Bois Blond

I like Tauer l'air the best, but all 3 were good in my opinion

>Look for a particular fragrance
>All the sellers are expensive as fuck (hurr muh resale)
>They all get bid on by the same guy

It's like 9***0 or some shit, is it all the same person? Why is he buying so many bottles of the same fragrance?

>>10286600
Checked.
Seasonality and evolving taste of the participants, I imagine.
It takes at least a day of wearing to really get to know a good candidate scent, and then maybe a week or two to know if it really fits, and for what occasions.
So building up a decent knowledge of the landscape, even just the mall-tier canon, can take a few months.
That, and every once in a while someone posts something new worth investigating. So it's a little bit of a Skinner box.

>>10280140
tfw wore this (and loved it) ten years ago and no compliments even. Maybe I was ahead of my time.

Which fragrances have extraordinary longevity? And intensity i suppose

>>10291453
Maybe it's discontinued, or reformulated, or both.

>>10291385
What did you think about Jubilation?

>>10291530
I found desert really deep/rich/spicy, a little bit overpowering but not ridiculously,
Jubilation was like desert but a little less rich/spicy which takes out the overpowering
Bois blond was the sweetest of the 3 and it was pretty nice

This shit and green irish tweed is God tier

>>10291636
Himalayan Mountain Water is really nice too.

On another note, has anyone here tried Insurrection Pure II?

>>10291522

Thoughts on pic related?

I'm looking for a fall/winter fragrance and am curious about this one but am also open to other suggestions

smells godly tbh

>>10296409
It's a favorite, but if this matters to you, I hear it is among the best-selling frags in Yorop.

>>10281401
Try Bay Rum.

>>10296409
Oh, and you might try other older powerhouses like Kouros, Antaeus, Égoïste, Havana...

Just got two tubes of this stuff. How'd I do? I really enjoy it myself

>>10296563
Big fan of the Cuba/Cubano line. Cool packaging and great price. I own Cubano Gold and actually like it better than its "inspiration," Le Mâle. It really benefits from the toning down of the mint and addition of the tobacco notes.

>>10283127
>YSL La Nuit
Absolutely. This one is always my Fall/Winter choice.

>>10296638

Looking at some different Creed fragrances, which ones would you say are more suitable for young people? I want something that girls my age (under 20) can actually appreciate, not masculine old man vibes. Which ones will work? Pic related

>>10296976
Why are you looking at the Creed brand specifically?

>>10297038
Open to other stuff as well of course but I tried some of their stuff and liked it, it seems High quality and everyone seems to like their stuff. I just thought I'd narrow it down instead of asking what cologne young people should wear tbh lol, everyone just say Diesel and Armani Code when people ask that

>>10297045
This thread at basenotes is kind of legendary now, and this is the most recent tally I could find easily: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/212334-Which-scent-gets-you-the-most-female-compliments/page213?p=3327074&viewfull=1#post3327074

I know Creed tops the list, but as a guy who owns GIT and Aventus and has samples of a dozen more, I find Creed overpriced and boring now. Yes, I started out wanting scents to impress girls, but I'm the one who has to smell myself all day and bottom line, it's the confidence boost I get from smelling great that gets the girls and not the fragrance, so I'm gonna wear what I like. I hardly ever wear Creed now. /soapbox

>>10297112
Thanks, interesting. What do you wear now? I think I'm more reversed, I get a confidence boost from wearing stuff that I like but also stuff that I know other people think smells great. The fact that something appears in these "which cologne gets you the most compliments" threads will give me more confidence as I'm wearing it tbh

>>10297141
I totally get that. Hey, even after my tirade I won't deny it feels great to have a chick tell me she likes the way I smell. And as for picture related, every single one of those with the exception of M7 has gotten me female compliments, some friendly, some close to swooning. M7 if anything has gotten me one negative reaction, but I still love it.

whats the best place to get sample scents?

>>10297246
In this order:
• High end stores like Saks, Barney's or boutiques.
• Writing houses directly and asking for samples to be shipped to you.
• Buying decants from places like http://theperfumedcourt.com/

Copped a bottle of Black Orchid last night

Its very nice

Tuscan Leather is just the best shit. It smells great, masculine and a bit like cocaine. 1 spray and people will smell you from 4 meters away. It also stays for about 7 hours on my skin, more than most other fragrances. Definitely a must cop. Got both TL and TV, but I use TL way more often

Has anyone here had any experiences with amouage jubilation xxv? Got some extra cash this month and I'm thinking about copping, but I need to hear some opinions first

I live in a place that's literally summer all year. But i want something thats not beachy, i want something spicy and edgy, that wont make people feel sick. What do you recomend? Was thinking about terre d'hermes, or something from givenchy.

>>10298203
Have you tried Issey Miyake Pour Homme?

>>10298203
TdH is a great summer scent. Also Guerlain Vetiver and Kouros should fit your requirements.

>>10298203
>>10298269
I seriously don't know why people wear TdH during the summer
>because Citrus
Right?

>>10298286
This might be a little esoteric for you, but it's because...it smells good.

Just copped. Anyone else tried this? It's fkn delicious. Picked up 200ml CK1 too for $28 AUD. Couldn't resist

>>10298309
It smells way better in the cool weather

>>10298349
...for you.

Not that I put much credence in fragrantica's ratings, but it would seem that the majority prefer TdH in Fall and Spring and the minority in Winter. I think the earthy, mineralic citrus really works great in the LA summer heat for me. Kind of like a dry sidewalk after the first drops of a summer rain hits it. It's the cloying, powdery, rich, heavy scents that choke me out in the summertime, but TdH isn't any of those things.

How popular is pic related out in the real world?

I'm looking for a wintry scent, but I hate heavy scents. I just want something to feel natural and pleasant. Used to lightly spray myself with Azzaro Chrome Legend but couldn't overdo by a hair without going overboard.

I don't think that's a wintry scent, but it had the right spirit when sprayed lightly. Got complimented a lot for it, and the gf I had then liked to rest on me and cuddle over it. By the description I think pic related might do the job, but I'm going in blind. If it's something every dudebro wears, like that Lacoste shit, I don't want it

>>10298365
Spring and Fall is cool weather.

>>10298366
La Nuit is NOT heavy, so don't worry about it. It's pretty light.

>>10298390

How would you describe the fragrance? My preference is something green, be it some plant or citrus. That's what made my previous scent appealing.

>>10298401
>My preference is something green, be it some plant or citrus.

I don't get a "green" vibe at all. It's kind of a Cardammon bomb for a while, and I get bergamot too.
If you're looking for green then you might have to try something else. It smells great, but not citrusy or anything

What even makes a scent more suited for summer, fall, winter or spring? Day, night? Is it what the season evoques? Or is an extension of the "label" we give a perfume, for men, for women.

Citrus aquatic for summer, fresh green for spring, spicy for fall, woodsy balsamic for winter.
What I see on sites like fragrantica is a tendency to lump the day scent with summer/spring, and night scents with winter/fall.
I dunno when you could clearly point a scent for summer nights, or winter mornings.

On the other hand these classifications make it easier to imagine how the perfume smells even without smelling it, helping the cases where you can't sample before buying.

Does a decent clone of Un Jardin Sur Le Nil exist?

>>10298401
try l'eau d'issey if you like citrus. very good fresh scent.

>>10298573

l'eau d issey is kind of sharp though, and I don't think it's a safe blind buy

>>10297246

For designer frags: literally just walk into nordstrom/sephora/macys and ask for samples or make your own if they have bowls of empty vials sitting around (you just spray the tester into it).

For niche: some nordstroms will carry creed/bond/tom ford private blend, otherwise you might have to go to higher end like bloomingdales or whatever.

>>10298581
It's fairly cheap and if you like citrus-y frags then I'd say it's an easy blind buy

>>10297983

it's actually Silver Mountain Water

Is there a frag that is *nearly* impossible to overspray? Does such a thing exist?

>>10298601
That's right. I knew it was SMW, and I took a guess. Good looking out.

>>10298604
Mugler Cologne and Set Sail St. Barts for Men are two that come immediately to mind. Also Agua Lavanda,

>>10298604
Anything Christopher Brosius makes in his CB I Hate Perfume line

Fuck they're all so delightful, I don't hate a single one. But the longevity is dog shit and you'd have to carry the bottle around and spray a lot if you want to smell good all day

>tfw no fragrance gives an essence like pic related

Please help

>>10298472
Excellent question. We already have families of fragrances to get a picture of what we're in for: fougère, oriental, floral, etc. I suppose there are frags that just "fit" better in certain seasons or weather, much like clothing, but there are no hard and fast rules that cannot be broken. As has been demonstrated itt, some people take those guidelines more seriously than others. That said, I would probably not wear six six sprays of Encre Noir or Ungaro III on a hot, muggy day for fear of causing actual respiratory discomfort. If I felt like it, I might wear Set Sail St. Barts for Men on a cold winter's day, just for a taste of summer, but the light citrusy notes wouldn't project too well from under long underwear and a sweater.

>>10298366

So how popular is this fragrance? Went to that fragrantica site and it's the 3rd most popular there

Is it something guys just wear all the time? How often do you encounter it?

I'm looking for a "animalic" frag but, I want it to be subtle. This may be counter-intuitive, I'm not really sure. Any suggestions?

>>10298649
I wear it and I've never smelled it on anyone else. Most guys don't wear cologne and the ones that do wear the cheap synthetic ones.

>>10298649
You tell us. In your day to day life how many guys do you encounter that wear a fragrance? Of those guys, how many smell the same to you? You know what AdG smells like? It's really popular. How often do you smell it "in the wild?" Worst case scenario, some chick you're chatting up will say "you smell like my ex." That could be good or bad. It's really a non-issue.

FWIW, it's #23 on the most-worn on basenotes in the last year: http://www.basenotes.net/bn_todaysscent.php?p=boys&t=year Mind you, basenotes is not exactly a random sampling of average Joes walking down the street. It's a site for fragrance enthuisasts.

>>10298651
Correct me if I'm wrong, but without more info it sounds like you're looking for picture related.

>>10298692

>You smell like my ex

Chick literally told me this before...d-does that generally mean they want t-the D?

>>10298710
Depends on why they're their ex...

>>10298632
That's a tough one, most "winter" frags rely on the idea of a warm cozy comforting feeling. Maybe search for some recomended for hot weather.

What does snow smell like?

Buy designer frag from amazon y/n?

>>10298632

For a lot of people, it's what you smell during the setting that later reminds them of the setting (not necessarily the scents of the elements). For example lots of people wear Tabacco Vanille during Christmas time, so whenever they smell TV, they think of Christmas and all the imagery that comes with it.

>>10298738
like frozen water

>>10298747
fragrancenet is cheaper w/ coupon tbh. and possibly more trustworthy depending on the 3rd party amazon seller.

>>10298747
What makes you ask?

>>10298758
Funny you mention that. Burberry London and Escada Homme are my fall/winter holiday frags.

>>10276941
I wear Bond No.9, it's definitely high tier.

>>10298953

I dunno. I get the feeling they'd send shit that might have sat for a long time at the shelves. They do keep their merchandise in packed shelves and whatnot. Makes me think it would be diluted or some shit.

From previous experiences, some fragrances I buy dilute with time. Does this happen often or is it the fragrance I use? I used Eau de Toilette mostly

>>10298980
Unless you're buying straight from the lab, all frags sit around on shelves. I'd say that places with higher turnover rates, i.e. that sell a lot of shit, keep their stock more rotated. OTOH, I have purchased some vintage bottles from the 80s that smell better than their current counterparts, so I am not one to buy in to "expiration dates" for frags. Maybe I am just lucky, but from the threads I've read on bn on the subject, it seems the smell doesn't change *that* much with time. There are much greater batch variations from year to year and with reformulations than I would guess a decade would alter a fragrance, if that makes sence

>>10297179
Thanks. Lots of people have Bern saying how TDH is a " classy old man's scent" which sounds like not really what I'm looking for, haven't tried it yet though. I'm currently using Bleu DE Chanel, it smells great but I think the citrus frag thing feels kind of boring... On me it smells nice and fresh but not sure if it's anything special on my skin. What about MI/ GIT by Creed? Any other ones that young people will probably enjoy?

>>10298980
a lot of people actually believe there is a conspiracy that testers/samples smell better than actual bottles, since those are what generally get people to commit to a bottle.

as for degradation over time... if you store your fragrance near heat or light it will degrade pretty quickly. As long as it's stored in a cool place it should last many years. Some people still have stuff from the 90s that smells great.

>>10276866
homeboy a friend of mine has tuscan leather and it is dank.
i would totally cop one but theyre really expensive.
we calculated with that friend one spray is about 4-5$

>>10299014
>haven't tried it yet though
The great thing about frags is they react with your body chemistry so oftentimes you have to give each one a couple full days' wear before you can really make up your mind about it. And even then, I've changed my mind about them months or years later.

Anyway, BdC is incredibly popular and that's because it smells great. Great does not exactly equal interesting, as you have discovered. MI/GIT are both fine scents, but I find I rarely wear either any more. What I have discovered is that "young" frags generally trend towards sweet and sweet is not all that interesting. Sure, sugar tastes great at first, but I need some salty or savory to make the sweet more interesting.

Here are a couple frags that I think skew "young" but are still interesting. I'm assuming you are looking for a signature scent, so I'm not going to go too weird here:

24 Gold
A*Men Pure Malt
Body Kouros
Dior Homme
Eau des Baux
Égoïste (might be a tad mature, but damn it's just so good)
Gucci Pour Homme II

>>10281095
Bleu is the only one I've worn that got regular compliments from girls and women. Never heard anyone mention for example Terre Ive also worn ton of times.

>tfw I struggle to distinguish notes

I recently copped a bottle of CdG - 2

Now, I love it. It took me a while but whenever the aldehydes really set in I immediately got flashbacks to my grandmother which made me realize the "smelling like an old woman" thing was actually true. I don't care too much though, so I didn't mind it.

One issue I have not just with this but with all fragrances in general is distinguishing notes.

CdG - 2 is notably aldehydic and has this spicy/woody/aromatic vibe. But one thing that I've heard time and time again that apparently is very predominant is Ink. I have fuck all clue what the hell Ink is, but I'm probably having trouble figuring it out; because the only way I'll notice something specific if it's very powerful and recognizable. Such as vanilla or bergamot. But with this, I don't know what the tea, ink, incense, etc are all supposed to smell like.

God what the fuck is wrong with me, please help

>>10298632
Winter 1972 is alright

Good luck with that shit longevity though my nigga

>>10299409
>Ink
Have you smelled Encre Noir (black ink)? It has an ink note. Have you ever eaten a squid dish cooked in its own ink? Similar. It's a very dark, wet, salty smell. Hard to compare to other smells. Almost like damp old leaves but less musty.

Tea smells like tea leaves, but there are lots of kinds of tea. Same with incense.

Just tried on some Dior Homme Intense and I fell in love. My nose ain't good enough to put it into words, but there's something very attractive about it. Do some of you use it?

>>10299409
>I have fuck all clue what the hell Ink is
smell a fucking ballpoint, or, or even better, a fountain pen if you have one around
>tea
smell some fucking tea
>b-but i don't drink tea
fuck you

>incense
now this, i feel you, since "incense" w/r/t perfume doesn't really refer to a particular smell since there are different types of incense, but regarding to "how it smells" rather than "what it smells like." feels balmy and tiny bit smoky. go burn some incense and notice how it changes the air as well adding fragrance to it

>>10299879
I have and love DH, DHC and DHI. DHI is sexy as hell. Creamy iris, vanilla and cocoa. Kind of a special night out scent for me.

>>10301804

>>10279011

>>10299028
>>10301593
Let's see:

$300/100ml=$3/ml
Average sprays/ml=10
$3/10=.30/spray
Seeing as how TF makes strong shit and it's an EdP, I'd say typical application would be ~2 sprays, so $0.60/wear
Still stupid expensive.

100 mL of Dior Homme for $50, cope?

>>10280140
That shit is disgusting. Literally a balkans war refugee would smell like that in the late 90's.

Fuck. It smells like, bad body wash. Like gas station perfume. Like axe body spray basic shit tier. Fuck that shit, nigger.

>>10301838
It's $62 on amazon, so p. good deal if legit.

>>10301814
I don't really like TdH, smells too heavy like resin or pine on my skin

>>10301804
Tauer Orange Star, though it leans Fall/Winter imo. Probably wouldn't wear in real sweltering 90F+ heat

>>10301804
Terre D'Hermes, Allure Homme Sport and Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme by Chanel, L'eau d'Issey.

>>10301832
>Average sprays/ml=10
From where is that average? I might be talking outta my ass here since I don't own any Creed, but saw the spray is like a firetruck hose on a video, compared to for example Hermes ones. Made me think how much it can change between frag to frag, you can overspray with 2-3 sprays on some perfumes, and others with 5-6 falling short. It'd be interesting to know a precise estimate for certain perfume houses/specific perfumes.

>>10302329
>From where is that average?
From personal experience in filling decants, and many threads on bn on the subject over the years. Here's one: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/214083-How-many-sprays-in-1ml Remember the word is "average." Of course if a normal atomizer goes "sprit," a Creed one goes "psssssssssshhhhhhhttt." Fucking get the life jackets out.

I use Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille every day except in the summer and I find it to be the most mature fragrance I've ever used. It has a great longevity from first application in the morning and I find it almost gets stronger throughout the day. People (grills) more often than not make some comment as to how good I smell too. I don't know what they make it with to make it last so long though, seriously two sprays on your neck and one on your wrist/rubbed together is potent enough for a day.

>>10302381
Ah that's interesting, so average is 1/10 ml per spray, I'd say some cheaper perfumes spray less. And no wonder about Creed, with those atomizer with really thick straws.

>>10302459
>>10299423
Getting samples of these two, thanks

>>10302474
read the thread

I need a cologne for the coming fall and winter but I'm a complete noob when it comes to scents. I've only owned L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme and I love it. I especially enjoy the woody base notes that it has. Anyone have recommendations for something that's warm and woody but without a lot of spice? I want a very comfy scent, maybe with a hint of tobacco

>>10298366
I have heard the cuddling thing too

My tester of D&G is stronger than the one from Sephora. It's sharper and lasts a bit longer without fading out on me, the newer ones from Sephora are softer. If I sniff the sprayer or cap on mine, it stays in my nostrils for a while.

It's from 30 of December, 2014. Is anyone else's from the same time period similar to mine?

Either way, I feel Autumn coming
>mfw

>>10299068
Thanks a lot man, will look into some or these. I really agree how BdC smells "good" on me but not at all interesting. Not looking for anything weird and manly/old/alcohol/extreme death wood/smokey-tier, but something that's more spicy fresh/SWEET/aromatic fresh/more interesting than just "nice and fresh" but that still will be appreciated by young girls my age. Particularly looking at winter scents seeing as its easier to wear some warmer scents during the winter. Any other suggestions also welcome, thanks a lot

Anyone selling any Green Irish Tweed, or Silver Mountain Water, by Creed?

>>10298366
>>10303144
The girl i'm seeing now nuzzles into my chest every time I wear this, cute as fuck fam.

>>10299879
all the time. its beautiful. very vanillic and a more refined iris than the heavy makeup iris not in Dior Homme. Lots of cocoa that is sweet without becoming cloying. This is easily my favorite designer fragrance.

>>10304772
I'm worried about versitility. I want to be able to wear it during the day in fall/winter weather. Can you do that, or will you stink? According to Fragrantica users, it seems to be a night wear.

is this (nuit d'issey) any good?

>>10303576
Enjoy anon!

>>10304849
>Can you do that, or will you stink?
It's not an issue of stinking, it's more propriety to the situation. Being such a sexy scent, it's kind of like showing up at school or the office in formal wear, but not quite to that extent. I do it from time to time when I crave it, but I probably wouldn't make it my signature scent.

Thoughts on this? I like it because it doesn't overwhelm or makes me sick, it has a plainish manly smell.

>>10306498
>it doesn't overwhelm or makes me sick
does overwhelm, does make sick. Not good.That's cologne-guy tier.

If you want plainish manly and truly non-offensive, Bleu de Chanel or Dior Sauvage will do it.

>>10306498
I have this. It's okay I guess, it can get too harsh if you overspray but overall most people like it, it's not something people go crazy for.

>>10278894
That's pretty much it. I wanted to like this despite the reviews about it being too basic, boring and BdC-like. But it is basic, boring and BdC-like.

How long does 50ML bottle usually last? I'm pretty new to cologne and don't want to spend over a 100 bucks for something that will last like month or something.

>>10306657
average sprays/ml = 10
average sprays per application = 3
50ml x 10 sprays / 3 = ~167 wears, depending on your body chemistry and scent strength

>>10306613
There are tiers because of one, how well it is made, how long it last ,how well it projects. Does it use high quality ingredients, was the ingredient dried before you use it? How well does the notes stand out? can you smell the vetiver in rose 31? can you smell the musk ? The difference between a high tier edt from the low tier is can you smell the alchohol? I can clearly smell the alchohol in Nautica voyage but i cannot smell it in Aqua di parma blu mediterraneo. Because it is well made. Keep in mind i do not mean to discourage from buying cheap fragrances. But there is such thing as tiers.

>>10307205
>perfume expert

Basic bitch here.

I wear deodorant. Old Spice Fresh, going on 20 years.

I've had compliments from girls I've been close with.

Never really bothered with scents other than lotion (http://www.aromatherapyassociates.com/usa/refinery/refinery-and-skincare/the-refinery-revitalising-moisturiser.html).). It's expensive to me, but I love the smell and the way it makes me feel. Just makes me feel more confident somehow.

Anyway, my questions:

What do you do about competing scents?

Between deodorant and lotion, it seems like too much. Does your cologne/fragrance just cover everything?

Do some of you not wear deodorant, or is there a scentless brand?

>>10307259
Unscented everything except what you want to smell like. Of course, layering fragrance is some advanced shit.

>>10302474

unscented antiperspirant & lotion, if you cant find any, a small amount of scented antiperspirant is usually fine and not too strong, dont use scented lotion though
dont use deodorants or anti-perspirants as a fragrance aswell because most of em smell like shit
>>10308544
Chanel Platinum Egoiste

>>10308544
Pretty much this: >>10308621
But if you've just got to wear something, use a clean, sober vetiver or soapy scent. One spray to the stomach, right after the shower, and then put your clothes on. You basically don't want it projecting at all.
That said, I was dumb and wore Burberry London on my wrists at my last technical interview, and still got the job offer just hours later.

Always wanted to get into frags but never knew where to start. Going to order a bunch of samples from luckyscent, however there's an overwhelming selection - suggestions?

Everyone Loves It Tier
Comme des Garcons Wonderwood/Wonderoud (as if plebs can discern between the two)

I've got too many compliments on the Wonder(wood/oud), it's insane. On a basketball court, in a Subway (the restaurant), in public, people are crazy for it.

Tonight I also got compliments on a mixture of CdG Black (last tiny bit in sample bottle) and Margiela's Jazz Bar. I don't think I'd buy Black, because it's very strong and kinda off putting.

>>10308776

>>10291663
My order just came in. It grew on me. I don't know what Aventus smells like, this is very musky and woody, with something else thrown in the mix.
Very nice.

Thinking of copping as a fall/winter frag. Am not working so the price is sweet. Anyone tried it (can't be found where I'm at)?

My everyday scent

>>10309891
I've heard of them. Supposedly it smells like A*MEN by Thierry Mugler

>>10309891
It's a pretty accurate dupe of A*Men, if that's what you're looking for then you absolutely can't beat the price.

I would also check out Animale Animale, similarly priced and smells like a combination of the original A*Men, Pure Malt & Pure Havane

Is this the next 1 million meme frag? Get on the train now or watch if pass for the next 5 years?

>>10310707
Ehhh, I don't see it. It's too classy IMO to be lumped in with 1 million and all the other meme clubbing fragrances. It smells a lot like the original formulation of Dior Homme (not surprising, they have the same perfumer). It's a fucking great fragrance btw, would definitely recommend

>>10283148

Smells like industrial cleaner.

>>10310509
Heard it smells too much like an old man.

>>10310707
Why do you care? You have no basis on that conclusion because it sounds retarded as fuck. 1 Million is club fragrance, Uomo isn't. It's a lesser known substitution to Dior Homme.
The two are no where near the same ballpark.

>>10309354
>Aventus smells like
Smoky pineapple

Which one, /fa/? Im a poorfag so can only get one.

>>10311481
Lol this. Most Creeds are not that great, I guess Green Irish Tweed is one of the best but it smells the same as coolwater.

>>10311671
If you are a poorfag get a bottle of aspen cologne by coty which also smells like coolwater/creed green irish tweed

>>10311671
Burberry

What are the best fragrances that smell like the forest. I currently use Old Spice's Timber (Deo + spray) and I just think that it doesn't smell like it enough.

>>10311696
Swiss Army Forest by Victorinox Eau de Toilette!

>>10296976
I have it also. It is great. Girls love it. Young or milfs they want to rub all over me.

>>10311671
Get Dolce and Gabana. Very warm and smooth smell. GReat for winter

>>10296976
Probably only virgin island water because it smells like coconut and younger women would like it.

What are the best cheap fragrances? I'm not talking like Axe cheap, but prefereably under $50 maybe less? I've heard a lot about Aventus by CREED but it's so fucking expensive.

sup from /fit/

>>10311768
There are plenty. You can pick up most for around that price, the only ones way out of it are the niche brands like creed. Price really has nothing to do with a scent though, creed is just for people to feel good because they are wearing an expensive edt. Creed has a long line of scents, some good, some not so good and every creed fan has their own fav from creed.

The trick is to go for a regular scent but not a popular one. You never want to go to a bar with loads of people wearing the same shit.

>>10311773

And I might add a night and a day scent should differ between the seasons. The night one you have listed looks heavy which is just going to be overbearing and sickly during summer. So no.

>>10311768
Nautica Voyage
Sample a lot of Cuba Paris stuff like Prestige and Cuba Gold
CdG - Sherbet Series: Peppermint, Cinnamon, Rhubarb

But there's a shit ton, those are some I like.

Especially the CdG series, they might be like $5 above $50 but oh well. They smell good in my opinion.

Nautica Voyage is dirt cheap and Cuba Paris makes probably the least expensive scents ever.

>>10311795

Damn, when did this thread become full fuccbois smh

>>10313411
To be fair, it was really good for quite a while.

I like dark, musky scents with a slight hint of sweetness. Fell in love with La Nuit De Homme, Spicebomb and Invictus. Would really love to try Tobacco Vanille but it costs way too much. Can someone reccommend me an alternative?

Also, thoughts on Le Labo Rose 31? Is the rose scent too feminine?

>>10313500
Try Tabac Roague as a substitute for TV

>>10311773
I've been curious about trying Uomo and Dior Homme, they have the same perfumer.
What do you guys think about them?

>>10313739
Dior Homme is excellent, probably one of the best smelling things that you can buy. Uomo is apparently nearly identical, and done by the same nose.

When I first tried DH, I didn't quite get it. It's a bit of a slow burn, maybe it won't knock your socks off next to a bunch of other pretty-good fragrances on the shelf, but it stays really nice throughout. It's also kind of complex, and you'll pick up different notes throughout wearing it.

When is it cold enough so that it's acceptable to wear fall/winter frags?

>>10314202
I'd say when the highs for the day are in the mid-60s F at the warmest

>>10313500
>too feminine
Nah, but it is rose and after about 3-4 hours it goes from rose+cumin to Vetiver+cumin anyway

>>10314202
As long as it's not too hot/humid for too cloying a fragrance, wear whatever you feel like. Just go easy on the trigger until you figure out proper application.

Not very much, but you can tell if someone lets you know it´s there. The honey and tobacco are much more noticeable. Gonna have to wait a bit more to see how long it lasts on me, though fragrantica says it´s decent.

Check your local mall for a spray. Just got a sample and I think Im in love.

I have several A*Men flankers and it is my second favorite after Pure Malt. I don't get any cherry, personally, but the nose is a funny organ.

Whoever makes the next thread please put a short "where to get samples" answer in the OP

im 18, ideas on what higher end cologne to get for winter that is actually good, not a shit tier cologne that plebian young people wear? tired of the really cheap ones, looking for something the norm teen/youth will appreciate but thats also actually good

All those are quantitative properties which 100% can be used to categorize manufactured fragrances into tiers, but what I meant was it really doesnt matter what "tier" a fragrance is in if it doesnt mix well to your natural pheromones. Everyone has different objectives when applying a fragrance and a "tier list" should not be the main influencing factor when picking out a scent as long as whatever scent they choose helps them achieve their objective. (Ex. if its to help you get laid who cares if you're using low tier shit the girl/guy likes it)

Yeah I tried that one, it smelled a lot ilke coconut on me. Smelled more like coconut than cologne on my skin but it was decent, preferred Virgin Island Water and aventus though I think, those were the only ones I tried.

A cologne that girls find sexy (thats also good and that I like) would give me a bigger confidence boost than having one that I just like for myself, so not sure what to get

is virgin island water or millesime imperial better for spring/summer
