Wheres a good place to order colognes from in AUS?

Also is Armaf tres nuit overpowering or is it subtle?

Have armaf CDNI and I find it way too strong

I like 1 Million and Sauvage

What other frags would I like?

>>12837200
Versace Eros, Spicebomb, Le Male/Ultra male.

>>12837200
piss and shit

I was thinking of getting a cheapie to wear to bed and around the house. Was thinking of Hilfiger Loud due to that BBC documentary. I like sweet scents but feel something floral would be nice for this. I enjoyed the drydown in Joop Homme and the floral notes in Mugler Cologne... Should I get either of those instead?

Alright Gallagher shills, I'm gonna blind buy a few of dude's bottles. Probably gonna start with That Guy and Amongst Waves.

Where does Gallagher ship from, and would you recommend switching out my picks for any of his others? "Aventus-likes" make up the heart of my rotation, so I'm really interested in TG.

my skin makes some frags so fucking sour, or is it the frags themselves?

>>12837512
Try changing your bath soap. Antibacterial / deodorant soap such as Dial should help with your baseline skin flora.

>>12837435
He ships from Texas. Usually I get my order within 5-7 days.

I'd just note, Amongst Waves is very heavy with the melon. If you don't like melon, it may not be for you. It is not subtle. It's also quite sweet.

Bergamust is very nice, it's sort of a musky, smooth citrus aquatic. Very, very pleasant. Really does smell high-quality.

THAT Guy, I haven't tried personally. From what I hear, it's not that much like Aventus, though, just shares some notes.

He always includes some free samples, probably he'll give you Evergreen Dream, since that's his newest and what he gave me last time, and Bergamust, since it's his best seller. If you're interested in THAT Guy, you could email him and ask if he could include a sample of that one. He'll probably accommodate you.

Either way, though, definitely try Bergamust. It's a very underrated frag in my opinion.

How do you guys apply those little 1 mL vials you get as samples? And how much? Dabbing doesn't seem to last too long for me but dumping about a third to a half of it on your palm and rubbing it on your wrists and neck seems to work

>>12838185
i just dab

>>12837435
I agree with what the other guy said about Amongst Waves. It's absolutely one of my favorites, but it's definitely very melon-ish and very, very strong.

The thing I like about Bergamust is it's citrus, but not lemony, and the performance is way better than any other citrus I've used.

And to be clear about That Guy, it's not an Aventus clone or anything... but if you look for similarities, you'll probably smell them. Definitely in the same vein. I like it a lot.

You really can't go wrong with any of those three imo.

Where's a good place to spray if I'm wearing pants and a turtleneck sweater? Most of my body is covered and I do NOT want to spray it on my clothing.

>>12838266

Well lads, it's nearly time. Headed back over to Amsterdam tomorrow for more shenanigans.

>>12838266
what kind of idiotic question is that? let me cover my whole fucking body but not want to spray my clothes

>>12838220
>>12837531
Thanks for the input. Maybe I'll just buy all three. I've taken bigger perfume risks.

If either of you own Bond no 9 Wall Stret / Creed Millesime Imperiale, how do those two compare to Amongst Waves? I'm not afraid of sweet and fruity (I wear YSL Mon Paris in public) but redundant would be unfortunate.

As for That Guy, I'm not expecting a clone but a genre entry. Something as reminiscent of Aventus as, say, Cedrat Boise or Scent of Peace fH. So long as it's a novel repackaging of familiar notes I should be very happy.

>>12838266
Just behind your ears and maybe your wrists too.

>>12838541
MI is really nothing like Amongst Waves. Amongst Waves is a very strong, sweet honeydew melon with crisp apple, patchouli, and some subtle ginger and vanilla. It's actually a pretty heavy scent, despite being an aquatic.

And yeah, you can't really go wrong with Bergamust. I don't think anyone would dislike it. To me, it's kind of like a cleaner, chilled-out, less obnoxious Sauvage with addition of a nice, smooth bergamot note and a big hit of white musk. Very versatile and very wearable. I'd say it's a pretty safe blind buy.

>>12837277
kek

What frag will make me smell like a nice morning dew, not citrus flowers and dew.

I mean like a mint dew or something along those lines.

>>12838185
I transfer them to little atomizers usually, but whatever gets it on your skin. .3-.5 ml sounds like an average application to me. I'd skip the palm middle man and dump directly on forearm and apply from there, myself.

>>12838541
Dude, I just got a vintage red bottle of Route du Vétiver and that black currant note over the rooty smoky vetiver? Forget about it; it's tits and I bet you'd love it.

>>12839289
Lighter scents have trouble projecting in the stiller denser cold air, plus they have to contend with more layers of clothing. Not life or death, so you wear whatever you want whenever you want it, not including gassing people out.

>>12839322
when the cringeworthy pencil neck, redolessence, tried to make his own brand "I smell well so you can smell good" jesus

are they good

>>12839289
Isn't that Prada's version of Sauvage? It works best in warmer weather.

>>12839014
clean scents like that are difficult to reproduce

search for something grassy with eucalyptus for a bit of freshness

I wanna buy an old formulation of La Nuit on eBay. If it’s got the batch code with pictures and the seller has pretty much all positive feedback but it’s from some random country, what are the odds it’s fake?

>>12839661
I just bought a new bottle knowing that people say it's not as good as the older formulations.

With that in mind, has anyone actually done a proper double blind test between the old and newer formulations?

What is a better summer scent?

armaf tres nuit

or

insurrection pure II (damn it has sexy packaging)

Damn, I wanna cop that Gallagher core set to give it all a shot, but I don't know how long it's gonna stay warm here (fluxuating between the 60s and 70s right now). Seems like a lot of those phrases shine in the warm weather as well

what do /fa/

>>12839533
L'eau d'issey is literally citrus flowers and dew, he asked specifically for something not like that

>>12840162
woops didn't see the not in there

>>12839485
why are you so angry?

What's something like ck one that lasts all day?
I love the scent but it has the longevity of a couple of hours.

What's a good frag for a night/meal out with friends?

>>12838541
I have both Creed MI and Scent of Peace for Him. It sounds like we probably have similar tastes lol.

And again, I agree with the other poster. MI is not really similar Amongst Waves, but if you like one, I can see there being a good chance at you enjoing the other.

Same with Aventus / That Guy / Scent Of Peace for Him. Similar ballpark, while still being substantially different enough to be worth owning all of them.

>>12840763
The One EDT, I think? Anyone else back me up on this? Or is it too "sexy"?

>>12839420
Why must you always torture me with unobtainable vintage scents, Mr. Guy?

Maybe I can swap some vials of my new Gallaghers for a taste of that Route sometime before the year is out...

Why are fragrantica contributers so much nicer than basenotes scum.?

anyhoo

got a bunch of l'artisan parfumeur samples today.

power rankings;
1. dzongkha (really liked this one. a bit odd. smells like a chinese herbal shop with some incence, dirt and vetiver. gonna buy a bottle. i find it comforting)
2. Voleur De Roses (apparently a unisex rose frag that a man can pull off. I like declaration d'un soir and wanted a classier rose frag. rose and patchouli. really liked it.....but it smells too feminine. my mum might like it)
3. Passage d'Enfer (lillies and incense. ilike it but it makes me smell like a homosexual or an old lady. I didn't find the incense very forward)
4. timbuktu (big hype. bit disappointing. there are similarities with dzongkha (vetiver and incense) but there's a note that I really dislike in it. prefer cdg 2 man)
5. fou d' absinthe (begins with some aniseed and cheap "christmas scented" pine car-air-freshner...then dies down to generic aromatic fougere. not as loud as azzaro or rive gauche ph)
6. two for tea (tobacco and black tea. smoky. it might grow on me but just now i find it a bit sweet and cloying)

all 6 were pretty decent.

I’ve worn acqua di gio for about sixteen years and love it. I’ve also liked bay rum, though everyone else hates it.

r8 my collection so far

I am getting rid of armaf, can't stand to smell it anymore

>>12841239
>either owning two bottles of MiP or owning both the edt and edp

either one is silly, anon

>>12841239
Hows the sillage and longev on it?

who is the best youtube fragrance person and why is it simply put scents

>>12841399
there really isn't any good ones as a whole.

Dracdoc is boring, fragrancebros is shit without Jer, Betawiblood is probably an alien with how terrible he is with words, jeremy is infinitely more attractive than most of us so what he says about some things is kind of dumb, etc

>>12841427

max forti, simply put scents, j copeland are all elite

>>12841387

On armaf?

Longetivity is crazy, like 12 hours+.

Projection is moderate to good.

>>12841044
It's just my thang, Mr. Fag. I'm sure we can come to some mutually agreeable terms.

>>12841239
I like London and MiP a lot, although I rarely wear either these days.

>>12841217
Aramis Havana is a very nice bay rum EdT available online for under $30 / 100ml.

Acqua di Gio is just fine. I was also wearing it around 2000, as were most anons old enough to have been rocking frags back then. If you want to branch out just a tiny bit, pick up the AdG Profumo flanker in the black bottle.

>>12841239
I keep saying this, but you should use the CDNI as a sneaker freshener. I never liked it on skin, but it's a very pleasant shoe scent that hides odors well. I previously used CK2 for this purpose. Please try and report back, then I'll tell you what's wrong with your collection.

Is luna rossa carbon the closest frag to somewhat resemble petrichor?

Is there a difference between Insurrection II Pure and Insurrection Pure?

I honestly don't think insurrection pure exists and theres just been a confusion.

>>12841726
You honestly shouldn't fuck with that one at all. Which ever you were thinking of getting, it's bad and a waste of your money. $35 gets you 1/3 of the way to the Pineapple Vintage of your choice.

>>12836503
Recent cop. R8 for fall.

>>12841840
The smell is incredibly realistic but totally unwearable, like most CdG frags.

Seriously, it smells like the inside of a Home Depot.

Is there anything that smells like Tom Ford's Plum Japonais? Ideally something not as expensive?

No bitch, you R8 you're the one who copped it

Is there a fragrance set you'd recommend for beginners?

>>12841239
is that a The One EDP? how is it?

Where can I buy (EU) samples of:
Tom Ford Private Blend
Christian Dior Privee
Armani Prive

>>12842559

Slav mostly, a bit Italian

>>12842834

It's EDP. I love it, smells so cozy and inviting. Longevity is good but I feel projection is lacking.

>>12842561
Other than the fragrance guide?

Go to Sephora and just smell a few things. Then ask for samples of things you like and wear them on you a day or so and see how you like it. It's cheap, and you get a better idea of what you like. It also helps to know what you like in a fragrance for summer, winter, etc.

>>12840144
Fuck it I bought it anyways. Spent something like 60-70 bucks on samples this week
no ragrets

I blind bought this a month ago and hated it.

I was born acoustic and it's tough getting a pretty girl to give me samples and stuff.

What are some rules or basics when in the store?

>>12843141
Smile, when talking look in eyes and mention a girlfriend

>>12843141
It must be hard to born acoustic.
And my question would be, why Tom Ford perfumes are too expensive. I have two (velvet orchid, noir extreme) and they smell too ''elite?''. They are just not something you could wear daily, or you have to be Pagan Min sorta lookin guy to wear those daily.

>>12843332
That's just the way he makes his scents.

>>12843071

Is this a new meme?

Wearing dior sauvage right now. Still pretty strong citrus after a few hours but can't figure out what else is there. Wood? Spice?

It's not bad but idk all dior scents I've tried have this similar note to them

>>12843060
If you layered a frag with a gin note and this,would you smell like Hendrick's Gin?

>>12841239
How is He Wood Rocky Mountain?

>>12843451
Not him but tons of value for the price. When i had a sample it lasted into the next day. Love it, need to get a bottle still

>>12843493
ysl la nuit vs DandG the one?

Amsterdam hooker fag reporting in. Just returned from my first session of the trip. A very busty (fake), slim Bulgarian blonde. She was wearing Versace Crystal Noir, which I found quite sexy. Of course, I suppose just about anything smells reasonably sexy when you've got a nice big pair of tits in your face.

Good times.

CK one Summer 2015 seems like it has a nice relaxed scent, but I'm worried about the poor longevity. Is it worth it for £20 for 100ml?

>>12843730

How is Honey Aoud not yet hyped about

I got Rituals No 10 - Lemongrass and Neroli as a gift a couple of years ago. I loved the smell, but sillage and longevity was shit. Any good alternatives? t. poorfag

>>12844165
Because its shit, you arab cuck

So I smelled this for the first time today, and I just have one question:

What the fuck were they thinking?

Hm. So my experience with Sauvage has been excellent. Nearing 12 hour performance and I can still smell it on me, but it reminds me of Bleu EDP. Was actually thinking of copping blue but I haven't sampled it in a long fucking time so maybe I need to hit up a Sephora for some.

Opinions on Sauvage vs Blue? EDP only, EdT's performance on me was shiet and frankly was a bit generic citrusy iirc

Is there any point in buying fragrances without alcohol in them? I currently live in a shithole where you can't ship alcohol too and that includes fragrances. I got a few oil fragrances, but I feel like it doesn't project enough. I still get some compliments when people are right next to me, but I can hardly notice it after an hour or so. Any good recommendations of alcohol free fragrances?

>>12844420
Gotta get in on that Sauvage/Bleu de Chanel/Dylan Blue/Mr. Burberry money

marly pegasus is the fucking goat for compliments

>>12843914

I've owned 3 summer editions so far, all of them with terrible longevity.

Is it autistic to wear cologne everyday regardless of occasion?

>>12843865
Issey's line is pretty solid

>>12844867
No, as long as your cologne isn't obnoxious

>>12844867
No. It is pretty autistic to worry about if everything is autistic, though.

>>12844165
I'm thinking about getting over Spicebomb and Givenchy Pi. Am I going to regret it?

>>12845022
Fuck it, I'm going to blind buy it since I have plasma donation cash.

Is 4 dollars per sample an okay price?

>>12845190
Seems fairly standard for niche stuff, yeah.

Should you shake your fragrance bottles or no? Wouldn't the chemicals all settle at the bottom if you leave it on the table all the time?

>>12845300

Oil based solutions can settle over time. Alcohol based ones like your regular edt remain stable forever.

>>12844867
Of course not.

>hurr is it autistic to smell good everyday

The fuck?

Depends on the setting though. Don't be in an office on a warm day with a heavy Winter scent. If you are in a bar environment it's OK to go heavier as you're competing against other scents.

>>12844807
Can you get hold of alcohol? If so, mix some with the oil. As it dries it will dissipate into the air and project.

If not, the oil will stay for much longer, smell strong close up but there is no way to get it to really project.

>>12844807

Agree with the anon about finding alcohol but also you might want carrier molecules if you want moderate projection or more.

>>12843730

>>12844867

>>12845570
>Just never to the gym, in the hospital or on an airplane and you're golden.
Molecule 01 fits those situations

>>12845570
Why wouldn’t you wear a fragrance to the gym if you’re even wearing it to bed? There’s plenty of fragrances less offensive than the smell of sweat out there.

If Chad is allowed to smell strongly of Old Spice Wolfthorn solid antiperspirant during final descent to LAX, my polite daily two-sprays-under-the-clothes application of Bleu is equally acceptable. The same applies to the gym - plenty of assholes there reek of cheap store brand solid deodorant, so why shouldn't I roll with a spray of Acqua di Gio in each armpit? Just choose appropriate scents and apply lightly.

>>12846714
Wrong.
I wouldn't wear when visiting the hospital,

>>12846792
Thank you very much for this. Glad I didn't already pull the trigger.

I just bought pic related plus CH Men Privé and Yves Saint Laurent - La Nuit de L'Homme

I love all three fragrances and rate them absolute A+

Dior Sauvage seems to be the best performer, projects for about 3 hours and lasts on my skin for 24. Great scent, matches heat days better

CH Men Privé - Great fragrance, doesn't project as much as Sauvage, around 2 hours, but has a great unique scent, lasts on my skin for about 12 hours

La Nuit - Great fragrance, different, unique. I absolutely love it, although I think that if oversprayed it can get a little bit cloying. Nevertheless, projects incredibly like Dior Sauvage and also lasts 20+ hours on my skin
I'm thinking about purchasing Jean Paul Gaultier - Ultra Male and Prada L'Homme after I save some money

If you wear a 100ml fragrance everyday, how long will it last? Spraying it 4 times each day

You can't say it is mainstream

Far away from hidden gem, but in the club fragrance top list is a long way to the top

Ultra Male, 1 Million, Invictus, Acqua di Gio, CH men, these are all ahead of Eros

>>12846874
Don't wear that shit to the gym; it's too loud. It even gives myself a headache when I spray it in my room.

One thread of many on the subject on BN http://www.basenotes.net/threads/172117-Does-anyone-know-how-many-sprays-are-in-a of people who sell decants, and the average was pretty much 10 sprays/ml or .1ml/spray.

they sell tom ford at sephora too you nerd

jesus do any of you get out

Saw a very nice busty brunette Bulgarian girl yesterday. She was wearing Narciso Rodriguez for Her. Seems to be a fairly common scent amongst the girls in De Wallen, actually. I've seen several girls wearing that one over the last few trips.

So there you go, ladies. If you want to smell like an Eastern European hooker, Narciso Rodriguez for Her is your scent, I guess.

>>12846785
Stop going to poor people gyms without good airconditioning

Where were people getting charged for stuff they didn't buy? Perfumed court? I might have confused that place with another.

Are there any masculine licorice-featuring frags out there that don't go over the top with licorice? I love licorice, but from the only frag I've sampled featuring it, it tends to become a bit medicinal and obnoxious, and not nearly as salty as I like my candy.

>>12847641
Histoires de Parfums 1725 is a powdery aniseed fougere. Give it a test.

im not into perfumes but i really like this smell??

>>12847705
Protip: if it comes in a windex bottle, you shouldn't be wearing it.

>>12847759
uhm why? where can u use it then?

>>12847641
Could try Mancera Aoud Black Candy.

>>12847765
Because good fragrances don't come in plastic cleaning product bottles. That shit flies when you're in high school and don't know about/can't afford a proper fragrance. Outside of that, go get yourself a proper bottle of something. Wearing that shit is the fragrance equivalent to having unframed movie or band posters taped to your wall and using milk crates as furniture.

>>12847799
i mean if they smell good, u wouldnt care really care about the bottle?

>>12837286
Why they fuck would you wear any scent to bed?

>>12847705
oh, now I get it. you're from tumblr. please go away.

>>12847803
Come on now. If it was a good quality fragrance, they wouldn't be putting it in a plastic spray bottle. That shit's Jersey Shore-tier and you know it. If you're gonna go full guido, at least get yourself a bottle of One Million or a Ultra Male or something.

>>12847809
Some people wear frags for their own benefit, you know.

>>12837286
>>12847809
I've heard of people wearing frags to bed when I read about L'occitan EdT. I think lavenders are a good idea for going to bed as they're calming. But I can't reccommend anything like the anon mentioned. I can't stand powdery/aquatic/most designer frags anyway, let alone having it stick to my bed all night.

I think a better idea is either applying some essential oil to yourself or getting one of those room aroma diffusers (like Muji stocks), and putting in your favourite EO.

>>12847834
I mean, this has been discussed in so many of these threads but I exclusively wear frags just for myself. I have a sensitive nose and do very minimal spraying. I can't stand when I can smell a cloud of someones shitty fragrance in public. If someone can smell me they're either way too close in my bubble, or they're my significant other and we're being close. Or maybe I'm telling someone to smell my wrist because I think they'd be interested.

Ugh, it's an LA Fitness, a 10 minute walk from my place, and the free weights are on the 3rd/top floor, so all the steamy heat rises up there from the whole place, including the pool/sauna. The convenience factor is huge for me.

Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum (2012)

It's a vetiver and myrrh bomb that lasts for fucking ever.

I ordered 7 bottles:

Montale Black Aoud
Pierre Guillaume Metal Hurlant
Majda Bekkali Fusion Sacree Obscur
L'Artisan Parfumeur Amour Nocturne
L'Artisan Parfumeur Nuit de Tubereuse
Diptyque Philosykos EDP
Geza Schoen Intelligence & Fantasy

And a bunch of samples too but they're free

Now I'll have like 240 samples and 10 bottles
I'm not a /nobottle/ anymore HA

>>12849166
Proud of you ex-samplesperg

>>12848985

I own Pardon and agree that shit projects for a good 6-8 hours, stays on skin for another 12 hours after that.

If you want a more wearable alternative with a very similar scent profile and longevity, try Guerlain l'instant pour homme EDP, it's masterpiece tier IMO

I just got one of those essential oil diffuser things for my apartment. What is a good fragrance that cheap and would be a good room scent rather than a good cologne. I heard diptyude is good room scent and bad personal cologne but it's pretty expensive. Looking for something less then 60 usd

Lol I wore interlude man yesterday to doctors and overhead the whole nurse staff say they smell church incense . Couldn't care less I love this stuff

>>12849460
Is l'Instant EDP just a repackaging of the old l'Instant Extreme, or do they still make the latter?

>>12848190

Yes, new label, new generic/Habit Rouge style bottle, but same formula as Extreme.

>>12849754
What a damn shame. The original presentation was so much nicer.

>>12847641
>medicinal and obnoxious
Curious, which frag was it? Anise/black licorice isn't a favorite of mine, as I basically think it's all medicinal and obnoxious, for instance Azzaro pH is nigh unwearable, Lolita Lempicka aM I feel like I could have liked were it not for it, but Rive Gauche pH I like, as it is may be drowned out by the lavender and rosemary, or it uses a different kind of lavender than ApH.

>>12847705
Don't listen too much to people who claim to be in to fragrances but talk shit about something solely because of the bottle it comes in or its price tag.

>>12847809
Because you like/enjoy it? Why they fuck would you wear any scent any time?

never EVER buy fragrances online, these days you will get chinese fakes 70-80% (confirmed statistics) of time

>>12849166
Good lad, enjoy your purchases.

Any other anons regret getting addicted to a fragrance you'd probably never find again?

Man... I saw two more girls today. Both had Narciso Rodriguez for Her. Why do hookers like this stuff so much? Three girls in 2 days all had the same frag. Really, what are the odds?

>>12848374
He's a character alright. It's amazing how articulate he is in most compared to the frag one I posted where he seems stuck in a loop.

Diptyque? They're a house. Which scent of theirs did you mean?

>>12847641

Probably Decantshop.

Only times I've ever gotten fraudulent charges this year were after ordering from there.

Also, they only ship orders on Mondays.

Fuck that place.

>>12849879
>fakes 70-80% (confirmed statistics) of time

And the sad thing is even without said statistics people will believe you.

I tried sauvage too but I just really took a liking to db for some reason

>>12849166
I'll also buy This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.1 pretty soon, I still have a bit of money in my bank account

never ever use luckyscent for samples

always notino. notino sends standard size sample sprayers. luckyscent sends babbysize 1ml VIALS. pathetic company

What are the best kilian fragrances? tryna buy samples right now. (also is it literally "by killian" as in "i'm wearing by kilian right now" or just kilian)

>>12850418
well, im not american

on a side note luckyscent they always give me free samples when I ask after my order .. they never charge for more, granted my orders are always pretty big

>>12850424
dont bother

I believe I have solved the Narciso Rodriguez mystery. Apparently there is a shop right near the red light district that seeks unboxed testers of NR for Her for less than half price. A girl was telling me she has to reapply very frequently so a 100ml bottle only lasts her a few weeks, so a lot of girls buy testers at that shop.

>>12850451

stop posting bro nobody cares that you have to pay to fuck

>>12850424
It is By Kilian, and I mostly agree with my esteemed... what the fuck do we call Samplesperg now that he's actually buying bottles? Any rate, I do find most of their scents to be fairly mediocre for the price point. They're like higher-end designer scents being sold at high-end niche prices. Yeah, the bottles are fancy, [but that doesn't justify a 200.00 markup.

>>12850454
I did this last trip and people asked me to do it again this time, so...

>>12850461

so straight to heaven and black phantom and back in black are all meme-tier

>>12850471
StH doesn't smell how you think it will. You get surpringly little rum and vanilla, it smells more like lime and wood to me.

Black Phantom is very weird. A girl at a store I was in described it as smelling like peanut butter, which I can kinda see.

BtB, Dior Feve Delicieuse simply does better for less money in my opinion. It's not bad, worth a sample, but it's not amazing.

>>12850488

i would like to think i don't have a pleb nose but i smelled feve delivieuse and it was unbearably sweet/cloying. i wanted to like it cause everyone hyped it as the best gourmand ever but it was like someone poured sugary syrup into my nose it was nauseating

>>12850495
Well, give BtB a shot, then. It is a bit more subtle, though still reasonably similar. Again, though, it is like double the price. That's really the big thing with By Kilian. If they were in the 120.00-180.00 or so range, they'd probably be worth buying, but even on discount sites, they're like 300.00.

>>12850503

i really liked pegasus and galloway from marly when i got sampled of those. are there any less expensive/nichey ones like those

Fragrantica a shit.

>>12850517
Marly has some great scents in my opinion that are well worth the money. I own Layton and Herod, personally. Amouage Reflection kind of has a similar vibe to Pegasus, though of course Reflection isn't much cheaper.

>>12850529

Herod makes me nutt. I keep smelling myself like a spastic when i wear it

Hoe are you supposed to apply fragrance from a dabber? Are you supposed to rub it in? Thanks for any help.

>>12850454
>>12850465
>>12850451
I think it's funny do continue posting narciso rodriguez hooker man

>>12850553
Will do!

>>12850535
It is great. It's kinda like a way smoother, more refine Mugler Pure Havane, or a less harsh Tobacco Vanille (and I like TV).

>>12850542
I usually just press the vial against my wrist, then invert, and just kind of rub the vial around my wrist a little like applying a roll-on.

What are Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab frags that are worth trying?

>>12850581

never heard of that in my life so i googled it and their only store/headquarters is a 5 min drive from me wtf. might go check it out but it looks like fragrance version of cringey reddit "craft beer' culture

I went to my mall here where they stock niche fragrances just to get disapointed

I smelled the new creed meme, viking. Puting aside the fact that the smell has no corelation to the name, it is the most uninteresting and bland stuff I smelled in a while. LIke holy shit, I looked up the notes beforehand and basically everything smells like it has been muted. And on top of that it's more expensive than mementus.

Then I smelled Roja Elysium. Don't know it;s me but that things smells very much like bdc. Maybe it's the bottle, only more tacky and 5X the price. You're actually being scammed real time, where they sell you the same product which can be found 5 stands away.

These have to be made only for people with near infinite money and not enough time to test anything because I can't see any1 actually paying those prices for this shit.

>>12850620

Aventus is definitely not overrated, at worst it's "well-rated" but insurrection pure II smells exactly the same to a pleb nose, and not that different to a patrish nose. one is $400 and one is $17. lol. i do love aventus though. i got a sample that was an extremely fruity batch and it was still good

>>12850620
I liked Viking, personally. Not worth it at American retail prices, but once it hits the grey market I might cop.

Elysium, I dunno. I kinda get the BdC vibe, but it smells much cleaner and more refined to me. Also doesn't vanish in 2 hours like BdC does.

>>12850627

it's not overrated? Mate, people are calling that stuff "the king of fragrances". I admit that it gets the compliments, It's my most complimented fragrance that I own. But scent wise, it's nowhere near as good as its hiped up to be. Even in the same house, you can't smell aventus and GIT back to back and say that aventus is better.

>>12850596
Some of their stuff smells nice. The main issue is the cringey names/themes, and the fact that all their scents are oils, so they're a bit of a pain to apply and have very poor projection.

Do keep in mind with them: their samples are actually like 1/5th of one of their bottles.

>>12850627
Aventus smells good but it's terribly overrated. Even the shitty Jeremy bitches think Sauvage is better than Aventus

NEVER listen to the fragrance community masses`, most of them are bald brown skinned negroid nose plebs. Except for Philosykos, it's pretty good and unique.

>>12850702

jeremy vids are the most entry level pleb bait in the world lmao. who cares what some german hoes think about sauvage. are you one of those 'i only wear fragrances for compliments" nerds

>>12850702

no one hypes philosykos tho

>>12850708
No I'm saying Aventus is not that good; not amongst the patricians and not amongst the ultra plebs. Only negoids. I don't even know where people got to hype it so much

>>12850712
hmm

Stopped in diptyque today, felt like spending money, got tam dao edt, ofresia edt, do son edp

How did I do

Shopkeeper said they’re all unisex, I think I went a bit more feminine than I should but damn I loved the smells

>>12850750
It’s really not that expensive in the small size, just fuckin buy it man, put it on the amex

>>12850777
For what it’s worth I liked philosykos but couldn’t imagine wearing it because it smells exactly like walking my dogs in the woods in Indiana in the summer, literally exactly, not a scent I associate with elegance or mystery

Not including Exclisifs or discoed frags:

But remember, these are women who make their living lying to men, making them think they're attracted to them, so make sure you take their adoration of what you're wearing with a grain of salt.

>>12850596
If you dye your hair black, I think you are legally required to wear them exclusively. I've never smelled anything by them, but that's only because I have no desire to.

Please spend responsibly and don't break yourself because we shamed you into buying full bottles. I'd feel just a tiny bit sad for you, in a pathetic sort of way.

Kilian Back To Black is one of my top 3 favorite fragrances.

Kilian Incense Oud is really nice. Very smooth.

Kilian Black Oud has beast-mode projection and longevity. If you like dark, smokey-oud, that one is hard to beat.

>>12850874
Oh, I am aware. I just know they actually do,like the Creed MI I'm wearing, because I've had several girls ask what it was and where they could get it because they wanted to buy it for themselves. That aside, I know a lot of other guys who do this sort of thing, and they're not generally complimented on their fragrances. A lot of the girls (and guys I know) have told me they actually don't like when a guy is wearing cologne because often they're wearing something very heavy and it stinks up their room for the whole day, but they tell me mine is nice because it's light and fresh.

So, if you go to Amsterdam ever and you're going to visit some of the ladies, make sure you're wearing a nice, light, freshie.
