For anyone looking for fragrance suggestions, give as much information as possible about what you want.

Helpful info could include sex, price range, climate/season, age, style, use (work/clubbing), notes/families you like/dislike, and other perfumes you've tried and liked/disliked.

I would like a suggestion for a longer lasting 'real' perfume similar to Aqoua di Gioia.

Marine/fresh/citrusy/clean/not too sweet or flowey on dry down.

I've tried Creed Millisime Imperial but am not blown away. There has to be something better for 300$, which is my budget.

I picked this up today since I found it super cheap. It's actually really nice, on first spray it reminds me of Chanel Allure Homme but quickly settles down into something quite close to La Nuit de L'Homme.

So far I've tried 10 corso como, kyoto, and l'air du desert marocain
I like 10 corso, pleasant and inoffensive. I worry a little about it leaning towards the feminine side imo.
Kyoto I also enjoy. It's not something I expect when I think of fragrances (I'm new so that's not saying much)
Desert Marocain is pretty sweet, almost cloying to me. Definitely not what was in my mind when I've seen people recommend it here.

So you would recommend Bois de Portugal or Pour un Homme to a 17 year old? Again, I don't think we can have too much information to make the best recommendations possible. I would even consider adding where you can buy frags to the recommendations post. Like can you only buy from a mall/Sephora, or are you willing to order samples/buy blind from the internet?

Is LS still using those tiny 0.7ml tubes? A decent application is ~0.3ml and spray application is different from and preferable to dabbing.

I'm a male 18 y/o college freshman going to a small liberal arts school in Minnesota. I'm looking for an everyday, all season fragrance, that has a unique smell. My style is memeochrome/"effay", I try to dress simply and love subtle details other people never will notice. Currently I use Estelle Ewen In Red, which I kind of like the smell of, but it doesn't last long. I also used to Armani Sport Code, but it smelled too gaudy after using it for a bit. Like a new money version of Axe. I like lighter, fruity smells, and also the sweet, earthy, scents of tobacco and pine. I tried Bleu de Chanel in an airport and liked it, but I'd prefer something more unique. I know Guerlain makes some androgynous fragrances, and I really like the concept of those. Not looking to spend my entire savings on a fragrance, but I'm willing to spend more for something I''ll really like.
Thanks.

Looking for a new scent. I live in mostly hot, humid, sunny South Florida. I'm a 26m, currently a student teacher. Mainly looking for a daily scent type of thing. Price range is kinda jumpy. Whatever I like, I'll make sure and get. Scent is very important to me. I've been wearing acqua di gio Essenza for the past 6 months, which smells great on me, I've just gotten tired of the scent. I also wear CH Men regularly, as well as John Varvatos Vintage. I mostly use the vintage when dressing better than usual or going out.

A good rule of thumb is 2-5 sprays depending on the fragrance. I average 3-4. I used to only do one, but no one could smell me, not even when close. It was a revelation when someone tole me I could do more, as I was deathly afraid of being "cologne guy." But quite the opposite happened: I started to get compliments where I had never gotten any before.

Not saying there are zero frags that only need one spray; I can think of a handful: Rive Gauche pH, vintage Opium, 24 Gold, maybe Chergui... But to limit yourself to one spray across the board is a waste if no one can smell it.

Hey guys,
I'm in need of a perfume or multiple ones, here is some info:

Sex: Male

Age: 18

Climate/season: If it could be used for the whole year, that would be great, but if not, then one for winter and one for summer.

Style: Casual

Use: Daily, universitfy and stuff

Perfumes tried: I currently use Dior Fahrenheit 32 (white bottle), but I'm getting tired of, that's why I want some variety.

Perfumes liked: YSL La Nuit blackish/greenish bottle??, I loved Guerlain, some of them were GOAT.

P.S if the bottles could be like 20 or 30 ml, that would be also great, because I get bored of perfumes frequently, wouldn't be a deal breaker tho.

Thanks.

if anyone can offer any advice or suggestions at all that would be much appreciated

other info--
sex: male
price range: similar to pic related (helmut lang cuiron)
climate/season: contrast to pic related, so summer/warmer weather
age: 20
use: i would say universal. I feel like pic related can be formal or casual and i want something else like that
other perfumes I've liked: not very well-versed but tom ford grey vetiver i remember i liked a lot
dislikes: anything that smells very much like a perfume, if that makes sense

The best is Andy Warhol, but they're fucking faggots and discontinued it. I can never reach Plum cozy-core ever again thanks to them.

Their worst is Little Italy which smells like obnoxious cleaning fluid and sour (not the good kind of sour) citrus. They have another one which is supposed to smell like money that also sucks dick.

In general, they're not worth the money. And you can just get Michael Jordan - Legend or Rochas Man for a much cheaper alternative to New Haarlem,

the EdT is lighter, greener and better than the EdP (the black labeled one like your pic) imo, though I believe the consensus on Fragrantica/Basenotes favors the EdP for its richness. Performance is about even between the two despite the differences in concentration

try Luckyscent. It's $3/4 depending on which version of Philosykos you get and while the samples seem small, it will likely give you about a week at least of regular use to make up your mind

I bought Thierry Mugler Cologne By Thierry Mugler on a blind sale buy.

I feel like it smells like something an older woman would wear. Why do so many people like this scent? The reviews are overwhelmingly positive online but I was immediately unimpressed.

I really like La Nuit d l'Meme, but the reason I like it is that safe lavender in the background while there's that really nice smelling cardamom or other stuff up front.

Does anyone know of other stuff that has a subtle lavender always in the background with something sharp up front like that? I want something that can be worn during the day time too (cool weather or warm weather is fine), unlike la nuit.

I'm a 23 y/o male and I work in an office for context.

i've been complimented quite a lot wearing niche fragrances but nowhere near when the amount of times when i wear chanel or ysl.

even aventus. no joke, i get more compliments wearing l'eau d'issey (which is good i'm not arguing against it) than with aventus.

for me, if i really like a niche fragrance and i think it smells good, maybe people won't compliment it for whatever reason but i think they will "remember", so that's fine by me

most people are not interested in whatever breaks what they are used to

I need some help finding a fragrance. I live in south Florida where its hot even in winter now. it hasnt gotten the least bit chilly yet.. I've experimented with some cheaper scents that i've purchased and gotten as gifts and was never entirely satisfied. Although I'm bound to get compliments on much of what I wear if its on strong enough.. I want something thats actually good.

I'm not very manly although my face does have some masculine qualities to it, I'm not sure I could pull of something too "manly" smelling

If it helps, I party and go clubbing sometimes and I would prefer something that would resonate better in a club, then say, a business trip, or a boating vacation

Didn't really like this David Beckham stuff but was ok
Got some knock off "Sport Club Green/Black" thats supposed to be similar to Polo, was interesting, but of course cheap.. didnt last long and not that good..
tried "Cool Water", total garbage

when I tried to buy my own scents, came out with Estelle Ewen In Red Eau de Toilette Spray, which I enjoyed, but wasn't strong/long lasting enough

also purchased Benetton Verde Eau de Toilette, was ok, seemed kind of fruity but I didn't love it.

(this was when I was more poor)

Used to wear Versase Blue Jeans in High School and for a while after, it was nice but not something that I would want to ever wear again..

also bought a sample pack of scents from this company Blackbird, im finding some are OK but not quite what I want.. the fragrance "Pipe Bomb" that came in it has no smell, just seems like alcohol..

Why does it have to "get past" the cap? The entire bottle is surrounded in hot steam, that's what affects it.

I have kept my frags in medicine cabinets in the bathroom for many years and will continue to do so with my collection including old, rare and expensive bottles; just like the folks on BN whose collections dwarf mine in size and value. I will continue to tell people it's no big deal until you provide any shred of backup to your claims. I am dropping my requirements from proof to *any* anecdotal evidence of frags kept in the bathroom having a negative impact on them. I'm waiting. Of course this doesn't include frags kept in a sunny windowsill. Direct sunlight actually does have a negative impact over time.
