Going to see my teenage GF again tomorrow.
Eros or DnG The One?

Anyone can comment on rasasi al wisam day vs l'aventure blanche?

>>12852543
you a pedo?

>>12852543
Indoors: The One
Outdoors: Eros

About to pull the trigger on CDG2, any other suggestions? Anyone that wears this want to give some comments. Anything will be great!

just bought sauvage

i like the dry-down on my skin, don't think i like the opening quite as much

but i tend to get so experimental in my "me-time fragrances" that i figured i should get something else that's just straight-forward for the office

>>12852543

TF black orchid you disgusting sack of shit

>>12852543
Lolita Lempicka

and daddy's gonna get some probably underaged and dumb
and everybody knows that the daddy eats his young

>>12852494
Is Tobacco Vanille actually good?

Is it ok to layer 3 fragrances?

I usualy layer la nuit with aventus and any woman that comes close to me(5 feet) has an instant orgasm. I'm thinking of adding sauvage to increase the potency.

Is it autistic to wear summer fragrances in the winter?

>>12853123
It's fine if it works. That being said, I'm pretty sure adding sauvage to those two would be like smearing shit over a painting. Perhaps adding pure Iso E super to the mix could change it up in an interesting way.

>>12853043
It literally just smells like vanilla. TF private blend frags are incredibly overrated.

>>12852845
Not a fan, but glad you enjoy. I have a feeling that fans of that would also enjoy Scent Intense from Costume National, which I love. They are not "similar" in notes, but more in spirit, if that makes any sense.

>>12852873
lol

literally what's wrong with having a teenage gf

>>12853043
When I first sniffed it my eyes rolled back in my head, I was so enthralled. That said, it's very linear, so even with two notes that well done I still need something more wrt depth or development, but really both. I might buy it for <$100, but it's not interesting enough to me to pay more for it.

>>12853128
You can wear whatever you want, whenever you want, barring choking people out. It's mainly a performance issue. There are no fragrance police.

>buy Sauvage not Allure Homme Sport
What's his endgame?

Thoughts on tobacco vanille? Worth it or overrated?

I have TF extreme noir and The silage is quite weak

>>12853534
see
>>12853043

>>12853534
It smells like a pottery barn candle

There is no tobacco in it

You will be disappointed

really like this stuff, I might just grab that new la nuit clone they just came out with

Arquiste Nanban anyone?

>>12853772
is this aventus lite?

but not quite cheapo aventus?

>>12852851
yeah the opening on it is crap, smells like piss and black pepper. but the drydown is nice i have to admit

>>12854007
>smells like piss and black pepper
it'll get you those kinky girls though

ordered this

how disappointed will i be

>>12854067
I guess not at all considering it costs as much as lunch at five guys

>>12854067
Smells like laundry detergent. It's my only fragrance that I don't give a shit about (nvm, including Bentley intense on this short list)

is diptyque ofresia ok for men?

i fell in love with the store but now at home it's like way too floral i think?

maybe ill save it for spring

is sauvage very c00l spray worth picking up or is it just a crappy gimmick?

>>12854393
go to the pleb store

>>12853128
No. It's autistic to keep asking if everything's autistic, though.

You autist.

>>12853455
Well, aside from the fact that it implies you lack the maturity and emotional depth to be able to connect with people within your own age group, nothing, really.

>>12852494
My first ever cologne/ fragrance was one that my father had for years called Preferred Stock, and my god is it 90's. He also had Gray Flannel and Christian Dior. I then bought myself Drakkar and soon realized, I absolutely hate the more classical, old fragrances.

My first blind buy was Attitude Extreme by Armani, which I do not necessarily like; very dark, masculine.

My first "serious" purchase was Versace Eros.
I know have D&G "The One", Eros, Givenchi Play, and soon Blue de Chanel.

I actually moved away from body sprays and shit like Old Spice because it damaged my psoriasis (too chemical) and I enjoy fragrance for casual use and certain occasions.

>>12854544
Whoops fuck me - Fahrenheit by Dior. There are a few that I have recently found that are similar, more modern takes on Fahrenheit and they are nice, forgot the names.

>>12854261
>Smells like laundry detergent
damn, I guess all I wanted was a subtle fresh green smell

>>12852518
newfag here, does anyone have any more infographics like this?

>>12853988
I have never tried pre 2014 Aventus so I cannot say how close it is to those but it is a great smoky aventus clone that I get much less anosmic to. You can get decants of 2017 Aventus for not much more $ so for me its hard to justify buying any of the pineapple vintages that aren't noir intense or beyond noir.

Amsterdam fag here. Took a break from the ladies to do some shopping today. They had a sale a De Bijenkorf today. 30% off a whole bunch of frags. We're talking Roja-level stuff. Wound up copping that bottle of Amore Mio I've had my eye on for a while.

Also got a bunch of samples. Really liking the new Amouage Beach Hut. Not at all what I thought it would be, not really an aquatic, more of a sweet, mossy, minty kind of deal. I may have to grab a bottle at some point. Great scent that no one seems to be talking about. Could be a real sleeper.

>>12854900
Oh, also, I agree that Roja Elysium smells about 80% like BdC. I think it's better than BdC, but it's also like 3 times the price, so probably not worth.

>>12854900
Very nice, how’d you get so goddamn tasteful Bateman

>>12855147
Just born that way, my good man. Always had a taste for the finer things. Besides, you don't see Roja frags 30% off very often.

>>12855166
What do you think of the Terre d’Hermes? I own a small bottle, I certainly don’t hate it but I’m not sure when to wear it or how it makes me feel...

It sort of makes me think of a wood-paneled cabin on a small boat

>>12855198
It's alright. A bit harsh for my taste, in and I'm not sure when you'd really wear it. I see what you mean about the cabin on a boat. My dad lived on a boat for a while when I was growing up, so I totally see where you're coming from.

>>12854540
you can keep you unvirgin women full of baggage if you want ill keep my pure virgin teenage gfs

>>12855225
Yeah, that's about what I expected.

>>12854713
the infographic wont really help newbies desu, it doesnt even help me

>>12855231
youre gay

>>12855247
No u

>>12855225
I am beginning to suspect this "teenage gf" of yours may, in fact, be a cartoon pony.

Hanae Mori EdT is so comfy in cool weather. Idk if I'll cop it but this is a lovely scent

>>12855261
It's not MY teenage gf, but there is literally nothing wrong with a teenage gf

Imagine your ideal gf but virgin and no emotional baggage and she grows with you, that's marriage material right there

>>12855301
I can't because all my teenage girlfriends were also degenerates

>>12855301
She's not growing with you, she's trying to catch up to you.

>>12854540
Male and female attractiveness are not equivalent per age. Why should you settle for less when you don't have to?

>>12855331
I wonder (((who))) is behind this post.

>>12855343
Not someone who can't compete with younger girls.

>>12855331
Hey, if you're in your 30s and still have the mindset where you can identify with a high school kid, you go right ahead. It just means you're emotionally stunted and immature is all.

>>12855392
This here is why I come to Amsterdam and fuck young girls. It's a fun time and I love those tight, younger bodies, but I'd never want to date a girl that young. Do I really want to come home from work and listen to her bitch about how Becky in math class is a total slut?

>>12855392
Sorry, physical attraction trumps all.

>>12855398

Is that really such an upgrade over one complaining how Linda in accounting is a total bitch?

>>12855313
You also grow with her, numbnuts

If you're 21 and she's 15, 6 years later she will be 21 and you will be 27, and so on

>>12855392
Potential matters more than age you idiot

Whats the best Tiziana Terenzi?

>>12855431
no dude, stop, we are talking about teenage love, not fragrances, you come back later, alright?

>>12855417
Exactly. You're 27, probably a decent way into your career, and she's in college. You're making my point for me.

>>12855490
>Love is about career

mmmkay

>>12855503
He's some fag who has derived his identity from his career.

>>12855503
>>12855530
The point is, you're at radically different stages in your life.

Anyway, I'd love to continue this conversation, but I have an escort showing up any minute now, so I'm out.

Is this whole debate over "love" relevant at all to /frag/. If it included a fragrance and someone you love/bang/date, then go for it. Keep emotional baggage and justifications for whatever unrelated rubbish out of the general pls. Thank.

>>12855269
Thanks anon.

>>12855566
love triumphs your spooky life stages

love destroys both halves and reunites them into a single unit

both will be transformed

the young girl is pure and will grow with you

taking young girls virginity and dumping them is wrong, which is what you said you were doing

marrying them, when you know they will grow old as you will someday, nothing wrong with that ... she just wont be indoctrinated by public school and her peers as much ... potential matters the most, what do you want an old woman you can semi relate to who went through a whole train of dicks or your young ideal gf who loved nobody else but you ... granted it's unfair if you fucked 50 women too and think you deserve a pure young wife

>>12855688
Talk about frags man

>>12855739
ok

all roja frags smell really similar

>>12855671
For what?

>>12855770
hes hanae mori and you complimented him

why are fragrance groups on facebook filled with bald nogs?

are you all a bunch of bald nogs too?

>wear vanille heavy scent

FUCK YOU THOT!!!!!

Am I master peasant for wearing Playboy VIP? Those are the only ones I like somehow.

>>12855890

I’m looking for a frangrance that’s smokey and masculine, but also sweet

I’m a fan of woody notes, tobacco, vanilla and star anise, patchouli, incense..

Any recs?

Parfums Vintage what a bunch of retards ... first time they forgot to ship half of my order, then they make another shipment but a vial is missing ... how can you fuck that up twice in a row?

I got 2 samples after I bought a bottle of sauvage. Was the lady being kind to me or is it normal?

>>12856016
it's normal, you can get those for free if you ask too

>>12854900
Did they just give you samples if you asked? I go to Bijenkorf quite often literally just to smell the CdG fragrances. Also, did you happen to go to the new Bonne Suits pop-up shop there now?

>>12855954

Work for 8 hours, thats what you smell like, fuccboi.

>>12855880
That's cute :3

>>12855747
I partly agree. A bunch of them have very similar notes, which is why there aren't that many of them I like. There are a bunch that are very different, though. Enigma, Elysium (though as I said, not really worth it), he has a couple fougeres, the tutti fruity line (I was thinking of getting fruity Aoud instead of Amore Mio, but AM was 30% off, so...).

But yeah, A lot of them do smell fairly samey. A lot of cedar, animalic notes, cumin, etc.

>>12856038
They gave me a bunch of random samples with my purchase and an extra sample of Beach Hut because I asked for it. Didn't see the other thing, not even sure what that is desu.

>>12855688
For the record, half the reason I do the hooker thing is do I don't do the pump and dump, because that's just shitty. My way, no one's getting hurt and it's mutually beneficial.

judging from the picture you attached nobody you interact with will care so go ahead

bond scent of peace was a huge disappointment. it's so synthetic and nasty. if you want an aventus clone cheap ass insurrection pure II is way better

i think i just got owned by diptyque's marketing

the store was so cool and the smells and bottle designs seemed great there

i got home with my swag (Ofresia and Do Son) and they just seem so feminine

>>12856472

didn't you smell them in the store

unless it's absolutely elite and you're 100% sure you want it just take free samples home first. you can always buy it later

i got samples of some marly fragrances from nordstrom now i know which ones i want. they're all good though desu

(galloway and pegasus and layton are elite casual fragrances and herod is elite at night)

>>12856483
yes that was my point, i smelled them and in the ambience of the store they were great

don't get me wrong i still like them

they're just super fucking feminine

what are the best maison francis kurkdjian fragrances? i want to order their 4-pack sample but i've only ever smelled baccarat rogue 540

>>12856498
ok what are the best mass produced macys tier colognes? i'm talking about your bleu de chanels, sauvages, giorgio armanis, etc etc.

I'm gonna go to the mall and drop a few couple hundos to expand my cologne collection tomorrow morning. Will ask to smell whatever you recommend, thanks.

That's what you get for wearing homosexual fragrances. Should have bought a gourmand Montale like Chocolate Greedy which would have made her want to eat you on the spot.

Recommend me a fragrance that's:
-Best worn in winter
-Sexy
-Not too formal
-Long-lasting & projects well

Thanks

I bought CDNI and now I smell like a pajeet

Majeure Issey

Anyone try this out yet?

Has anyone else had a reaction to D&G The One? I think it's making me cough, and my wrists seem to have a rash at the end of the day if I apply it there.

>>12857443
I noticed it had zero projection and disappears instantly so I tried using it as a room freshener instead. Spraying my room liberally every now and then.

I developed a cough and sore throat after so it's not just you.

>>12857449
I don't feel like it disappears that quickly, but I do feel like it has poor projection.

I still love the scent (when it's not overwhelmed by the grapefruit) but I can't keep wearing this if it's going to fuck with me so badly that it induces panic attacks.

>>12857449
Oh, and do you have any known allergies?

>>12853469
Can confirm, a very lovely scent.

>>12853404
Overrated is very true, but it is nice.

It doesn't /just/ smell like vanilla though.

So am I supposed to spray on my clothes or not?

>>12857752

Nope.

>>12854713
Honestly, I never saw the point in IGs in regards to fragrance. There are a couple older ones floating around, but they are pretty bad, full of misinformation. Poking around https://www.fragrantica.com/groups/ would probably give people a better overview of what's out there.

I've never smelt a fragrance on a guy ever but I can smell it off girls all the time.

>>12855198
>I’m not sure when to wear it
That's because it is a true, not very common, all-season, all-purpose frag. I probably prefer it in the summer heat, but you can truly wear it anywhere, any time. There is also a lot of dynamism, so it changes constantly. Fascinating fragrance, imo.

>>12855954

>>12856472
So you bought frags after just smelling the top notes in the store? Might as well buy blind. As >>12856483 said, sample first whenever possible, and that means enough full wearings that you have a good idea how it performs and how each stage of the frag's development works on you.

>>12856683

>>12857265

If you like Versace try Eau Fraiche, it's one of my favorite hot weather scents. It gets me the most compliments as well

>>12857815
This is why people shouldn't think twice about wearing anything "too popular."

why is de profundis only available in shitty sprayers now?

I've been wanting to try Imaginary Authors for a while, while most of their scents have intrigued me nothing has left me feeling like I must try it until this release.

Black tea, Lapsang Souchong tincture, orris butter, Kyoto moss, musk balsam, sandalwood

It sounds so effay. I must try this. Going to wait until more reviews/thoughts come in because getting a sample to Canada is a tad expensive.

So, my escort last night was actually quite the fraghead, herself. She immediately noticed my bottle of Creed MI in the bathroom, and we got to talking about frags. She knew a whole bunch of niche brands, she was actually wearing Love by Kilian, which was rather sexy on her. She was a very cute, petite, young looking blonde Dutch girl, so the scent really worked on her. She didn't know Roja, but I showed her my bottle of Amore Mio and let her try a spray and she loved it.

Also, she decided my dick is now called Apollo, from Apollo Creed, because I didn't have a name for my dick and she insisted I had to have one, and I was wearing Creed MI. So that's a thing.

>>12857998
How are tea notes?

And I think you'll enjoy them. I tried Every Storm A Serenade and Cape Heartache. I really like the latter, strikes a great mix between masculine woodland notes and strawberry-vanilla slightly feminine appeal. It is, of course, overall masculine.

>>12858018
That sounds wonderful! What's it like being with an escort versus a person you've dated? How expensive is she, in relative and absolute terms?

>>12858038
Well, escorts are interesting. I see the window girls in De Wallen during the day, which is kinda like fast food sex. Fun, but nothing really more to it than that. With escorts, I go high end. This girl was from the Agency, Society Service, and their prices start at around €600 for a 2 hour booking. I got a 4 hour booking, because I like having more time to get to know each other a bit and relax. Have some chocolates, a few drinks, chat, kind of helps create a bit of a connection so when you get down to business, it doesn't feel like business, y'know?

With the girls from this agency, since it's quite high-end, they're not seeing a lot of customers, maybe 1 or 2 bookings a week or so, they're all very beautiful, sophisticated women, and it's just much more intimate. Unlike with window girls, you're kissing, you're lying in bed together cuddling between "rounds", it kind of almost is like being with a girlfriend, except you've only known her a couple hours if that makes any sense. Feels much more real. Obviously, I know logically that it's business, but that's not really important. I'm just relaxing and having a good time and it is what it is. No need to make things more complicated than it needs to be, just enjoy.

It's definitely an experience. If you're ever curious and have some money, I'd advise giving it a go. It's not for everyone, but it's worth trying at least once.

>>12858071
Could maybe be helpful to me to be with someone I find extremely attractive, yeah. Or at least fun.

The thing that concerns me the most is by far the in-between stuff. I don't want it to feel stiff and awkward and weird like she hates me. I'd sooner want to be paid for experiencing that.

>>12858075

A good escort won't let you feel awkward. That's the whole point really.

>>12858038
>How are tea notes?
What did he mean by this? I haven't tried it yet so I don't know.

Cape Heartache was always at the top for me because I love pine/fir notes a lot. But I find I can't stand vanilla (my last encounter with vanilla was L'Occitane Eau des baux and I didn't like the vanilla in it). But I know vanilla can change radically between fragrances and the type/amount can vary a lot. But with that said, I already have a little bit of Slumberhouse Norne which fulfills my pine needs.

>>12858075
Well, I just approach it like I would spending time with any woman, really. I'm not a weird, autistic guy who can't hold a conversation, I would think guys like that mostly aren't doing this sort of thing because it would make them too anxious. Remember, you do still have to be able to interact with this girl without dropping spaghetti.

With high-end agencies, particularly in places like the Netherlands where it's all legal and regulated, they're generally pretty choosy about which girls they'll let work for them, so you're generally not gonna get bitchy girls who don't really want to be there and are just in it for the money. Society Service, for example, requires all their girls to at least be working towards a university degree and have another career. They don't take girls that just want to be career escorts and are only in it for money.

>>12858084
Ooh, slumberhouse is lovely, isn't it?

Any other pine/firs that you would reccomend?

I think you might not have come across a vanilla you like yet. I initially hated vanilla, but I came to like it. Try some different kinds of vanilla extracts sometime. I am reading now that light and dark ones are apparently the same thing but I am convinced that the ones we had tasted and smelled different from one another.

>>12858090
Oh, that's really interesting. Would be nice if we actually stood up for womens rights like this instead of taking away their right to self-determine in the name of "fighting oppression".

Oh and yeah, I'm a little awkward, but I can totally be suave.

>>12858083
This too, honestly. If you feel awkward with her, she's probably not a very good escort.

>>12858107
Slumberhouse is lovely. But expensive. I'm hoarding my little sample. One day I'll get a full bottle, maybe for a special occasion.

Fille en Aiguilles by Serge Lutens has intrigued me for a pine fragrance. I've heard it leans more feminine though. There's a couple CdG scents from the Incense series that feature pine (I think Kyoto and Zagorsk, but not as a feature note). I used to be more excited about CdG than now though.

I think you're right about vanilla. I need to try it more and try more fragrances that feature it. I think it's used a lot in the "Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille" esque way by designers, I think I need to explore it in niche houses though.

F

Fuck man, it was 15Y11, too. Last time I leave anything on the counter when small children are around.

Anyone could find bottles of the following for cheaper than retail? New bottles only.

Lampblack
Lazy Sunday Morning
Nordic Noir
Black Line (Mancera)

Thank you. I looked into most wholesale websites, fragranceX, fragrancenet, fragrancebuy.ca and a couple others. Luckyscent sell some of these bottles for like twice what they cost on wholesale websites (except they're unavailable for now)

>>12858135
I tried Zagorsk, it's more like pine soap. Soapy clean, weak as all hell. Not interesting. That's at least from the few times i tried it on, never even properly wore it because it felt like such a waste of time.

Do you like or dislike the TV style? I think I quite like it, and will be buying some samples of imitations soon. Maybe I settle on the original, but I feel like there's a lot of room to explore within that style. Different kinds of spices/chocolate/vanilla/tobacco, different ratios etc. Projection and performance are also obviously going to differ with this. But it's something that my FWB enjoyed, and I quite enjoy myself. It feels a tad feminine with the overt sweetness, but I am someone who likes the aesthetics of an pleasant and elegant man, as opposed to a macho one. Not to rip on the latter, it's just not who I am.

Guys my armpit and back sweat from riding my bike to work. What deodorant should I get that has no smell so it doesn't get in the way of my fragrance?

>>12858186
Consider an ebike or taking a shower at work.

>>12858107

>in the name of "fighting oppression"

I may be misinterpreting you but regulating sex workers is a well known feminist cause and most often it gets deadlocked because of religious lobbying.

>>12858190
I disagree. It's a very contentious topic. Here, the mainstream feminist perception is that pornography is wholesale degrading to women. Anything outside of vanilla, man-on-top porn isn't even on their radar. You'd be surprised how things are here.

Feminism isn't a monolithic ideology. There are good arguments both pro and against the sex industry, but if you look at the record of laws proposing the regulation of prostitution, they are always put forward by progressives and voted down by religious conservatives. I can't think of any exception to this anywhere in the world.

>>12858217
Prostitution is decriminalized here, but it is not legalized. Purchasing these services is also illegal. We have a problem with trafficking, worsened by our inability to deal with anything but violent crime, which is on a sharp rise. Our policies on these subjects have been put forward by a pink-red alliance.

I don't think Gallagher THAT guy is for me. 5 sprays and after 4-5 hours i can barely smell it on me. It starts off like acid, dried down to a nice pineapple and wood, and is just kind of faint now. I guess i wasn't expecting much but i don't see why people think this smells like memeventus... It could also be me getting used to the scent but after one day seems unlikely.

Thankfully i have 2.5 ml so i can try it again. Gonna try beyond waves tomorrow since its still gonna be warm (70s, still winter)

>>12858220

This is more of a /pol/ topic so I'll drop the subject. I'm just curious, where do you live anyway?

>>12858283
Sorry, yeah, it's off topic. Sweden. I really hope we can get our shit together.

>>12858186
Are antiperspirants okay or does it have to be a deo?

>>12858319
if you want cancer use antiperspirants, sure

>>12858143
Good night, sweet prince.

I hope you gave those little monsters a good whooping!

>>12858229
Update - oh this is interesting. So it's now been maybe 6 hours and i can actually still smell it and its dried down to be a lot warmer and sweeter than the start.

I'm not sure how projection on me is but i kinda "get" this one now. I do wish the pineapple would get out of the way so i can smell those other notes

Cool discovery: la nuit de l'homme and ch men prive are a great combination. Two sprays of each are a hell of a date scent


Also, I wonder if doing the same thing with sauvage and eros will give me good results, has anyone here tried?

help me choose /frag/ i have some samples for a casual friend hangout this friday night(indoors/at an apartment). it's gonna be like 70 degrees. don't know which to wear

layton, galloway, herod

or

aventus(it's a very fruity batch sample) or millesime imperial or molecule 01

>>12858575

i have only smelled the new la nuit de l'homme but i love it. is the reformulation a change in smell? or is it just weaker than the original

Suggestions for good unisex fragrance?
I never really paid attention to my perfume before this. I've always worn eternity since college. Its what my dad used and I like it a lot.
Kinda want to try something more feminine I guess.

>>12858584
Nor have I, I own the 2015 one

The reviews comparing the old vs the new one ate pretty harsh on the latter tho

>>12858630

yeah i've never smelled the original 2009-2011 formulation. i'm never gonna buy one of ebay or whatever cause they're all like $500 for full bottles

Acqua di Gio profumo smells like shit on my skin. I fucking hate this, smelling on the paper it is one of my favourite scents, but on me stinks like rotten bergamotes with dog piss

Verace Eros one smells like the best fragrance ever though. What are the notes that can be causing this? Can my diet change my skin reaction to Acqua di Gio profumo or am I doomed forever with pleb genes?

>>12858638
Same thing for me, Acqua di Gio profumo, Armani Code profumo and Chanel Allure Homme Sport eau Extreme all smell terrible on me
What's the matter with us?

>>12858635
the 2009 ones are all old now, the 2011-2015 is the same except for a 10% performance decrease. Get these

>>12858642

stop buying bad quality sephora-tier fragrances and save up for some niche shit that smells good and is quality

>>12858650
Not an answer, Tom Ford. What are the notes in common in these fragrances that make me smell like a begger?

>>12858653

they sell tom ford at sephora too you NEET. i literally told you they are cheap bad quality fragrances that are offensive on the skin. buy quality

>>12858158
Yeah I'm kind of disappointed by CdG, their descriptions/stories/notes sound great and big but they never seem to live up to it. I've only tried one from them but I've seen lots of reviews with the same sentiment.

I'm not sure if I do or not. I think I only sprayed it on a card very quickly in a duty free so I can't say for sure. I remember sniffing a couple of his more feminine marketed scents (I think Black Orchid & Cafe Rose) and I was disappointed. Grey Vetiver was the only one I tried on my skin, I thought I'd like it more than I did. It was just okay.

I feel the same way and find a lot of the macho marketed frags aren't for me. But anything overly aquatic, sweet, or powdery instantly turns me off. I really like natural/woodsy/floral.

>can get Hanae Mori HM for like 25 bucks

That's fucking cheap what's the catch? Love the edt smells amazing so i see no reason to add it to my winter rotation

>>12858656
where

>>12858711

get samples online or for free somewhere like nordstrom/neiman and find out what you like then buy it

>>12858711
Ignore shit poster kun, sephora is a good place to start looking at fragrances. It's free, and you have a lot of options to start with. Just go in, smell things, get some samples of what you like, then figure out why you like them.

What i would do then is get on decent shop and find some you didn't see and order them and give them a test spin. Can be a long process depending on who you are.

>>12858954
Virgin Eau De Toilette unfortunately

>>12858942
just go to the store and ask for free.

Just got mad samples boys

DS DURGA
>Homesteader's
Quite nice, as masculine as you need it to be, some fresh greens with a bit of whiskey / woody afterward. Like.
>Vio Volta
Deeply pungent, resinous. Like an old tapestry or something, a damp wooden-floored apartment. Not sure.
>Bowmakers
Very woody, very smokey, smells like I guess a 1700s carpenter's workshop. Not bad, maybe a little strong and up front though.
>El Cosmico
Bitter, bitter greens. Can't do it.
>Radio Bombay
Floral, elegant. Possibly some whiskey / booziness. A deep scent. Will think about it. Drydown on skin is very mysterious.


LE LABO
>Santal
It's fine. An unoffensive sandalwood. Don't love, don't hate. Wouldn't buy a bottle.
>The Noir
Fucking unbelievable. Incredibly deep, makes me think of Asia, Fruits and tea and possibly some sort of leather? Opening of artichoke of all things, but that fades almost immediately.
>Labdanum
Pretty flowery, but still masculine. Also a complicated scent, do like very much.
>Another
Smells like a fucking operating room sterilization chemical. No.
>Lys
Most floral sample I have, I think it's a woman's fragrance. Like it very much but doubt I will wear it.
>Ylang
Wtf is this. Smells almost rancid. Grapefruit? But incredibly bitter. No.

Hah homo liking a guy.

But actually it's really grown on me. It had a sudden upswing of siliage and I'm not sure what to think of it now.

Hi /fa/, kind of a weird question here

I'm a trans girl and I'm about to run out of my Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum which I've been using for the past year or so

I'm just starting to transition now and present more feminine and eventually I guess completely female.

What's a good perfume I could wear at the moment, something that's androgynous but feminine leaning, and good for summer?

Thanks :)

>>12859187
OUT OUT OUT

I'm interested in mixing extremely simple scents. Skipping the brand names and calling everything what it is, I so far have vanilla, ginger, rose, cloves, and cinnamon, and don't bother with high notes. What layer combos are best?

Vanilla+Rose? Does the Cinnamon+Cloves combo need a low note like leather or tabacco or is it good on its own?

Back again; I just bought Givenchi Play today. Fantastic gem hidden in plain sight.

Coffee, Pepper, Grapefruit (more lemon for me). Its more of a fresh scent, but the Play Intense is more Summer - Fall.

>>12859301
Versace Eros from Notino

>>12859353
Gentlemen Only is also a good one. The intense version sucks though

i have a few hundred dollars and would like to drop some cash on some /itsonlysmellz/

i have some decent cologne so i dont care too much as far as what i get but the store offers 40% and price match on the second purchase.

pass me some good smellz for men and women.

jimmy choo has had some solid stuff for thots

Rosewater from any "ethnic" food section. It's $5 and does double as perfume when applied to the skin.

the retarded doesnt need to be tolerated

Been trying out my sample of Amouage Beach Hut I got at de Bijenkorf the other day. Had several good wears now.

I'm really liking it a lot. It opens with this really beautiful green, slightly sweet mint. Kind of like Creed Royal Water or a bit like Versace Eros, but less sweet and more natural. You also get a bit of wood and peppery spice. The opening actually sticks around a good while, at least an hour or so. After that, it dries down into this very dry, peppery, minty vetiver and wood scent. I get sandalwood and cedar for sure, and some other woods I'm not sure of.

Very evocative. It's not remotely an aquatic, it's more like some old, disused cabin on a beach that's been bleached by the sun and has grasses and weeds and stuff growing through it. You get a hint of that sea air in the green notes in the opening, but other than that, it's all beach.

Yes. It is a cologne that smells like the beach.

Kramer was a genius this whole time.

You need to fucking go back right now.

Candle is a good way to describe it, same goes for Noir Extreme.

>>12860702
Smells like sweet, creamy lemons. Personally prefer the original Allure as well as Eau Extreme better.

Saw a very nice Russian lady in the windows today. I was wearing my new Roja today, and she commented on how nice it was and asked about it. She had not heard of the brand, but then we got to talking about fragrance and she told me she had watched an interview with some British guy who has a store in London where he makes very expensive personal fragrances for people. I asked her if it was an older guy with silver hair wearing a crazy suit, and she confirmed that it was indeed, and that his perfumes came in little 50ml bottles with coloured stones in the caps. Had a little bit of a laugh together when I told her that I was actually wearing one of that guy's fragrances right now.

It seems like quite a few of the working girls here are actually fairly knowledgable about fragrance, or at least are interested in it. I've wound up having discussions with quite a few of the ladies about fragrance, and I'm not autistically going out of my way to bring it up or anything. Just sort of happens. Kind of cool.

Anyone else have a guilty pleasure in fragrances that contain animal essences? I can see what the recreational molecules try to capture but they miss the mark. I'd say some nitromusks did pretty well but macrocylics and ambrette do a decent job I guess. Screw those "laundry" type musks though, ew.

Newfag here that's never bought cologne before, 18 and about to go to college.

I looked at the infographic and I want something light, non-offensive, and probably in the fresh spectrum. I've kinda accepted that I'm a skinny beta fag so I probably can't pull of masculine scents. Plz help

You can query for tester bottles, or they will just come up with the rest of your standard search results. They often carry both tester and retail bottles of the same fragrance.

Most testers don't come with a cap. The Juliette Has a Gun testers that I've bought have included a cap, however.

look what I got /frag/. Wearing la yuqawam on one hand and SMW on my other with l'aventure blanche on my elbow to compare.

La yuqawam is great cant stop smelling it, leather plus some sweet raspberry, apparently TL is even more leather less berry? In that case I'd probably prefer this one. I'll probably buy a bottle is not really expensive.

SMW, you know, yesterday I threw out some rotten mandarines/grapefruits, this smells like that but obviously not as repulsive , what the fuck. Anyways after a few min that rotten smell tones down a bit behind some florals but I can still smell it in the background. I guess I'll try a few more times till the sample is done. Also this doesn't smell like it has good performance.

L'aventure blanche, supposedly a SMW clone. I dont really get the rotten smell in this one, it smells like SMW if you strip down its complexity. Pretty bland but at least it doesn't smell like rotten fruit.

I can tell you what I think about MI and reflection man in the next few days if you guys want to hear it. Can also compare aventus to cdni to l'aventure.

>>12862513
Of course, let us know.

I don't care for SMW, myself. I own Xerjoff Mefisto, which is sort of similar but much, much better in my opinion.

I do own both Reflection and MI, I think both are great scents. Very date friendly, very crowd pleasing while still maintaining a fair amount of complexity.

>>12862513
you might want to try Al Wisam Day, fantastic SMW clone

>>12862696
I couldn't get a sample of that one but I was probably going to blind buy this over the l'aventure blanche if I liked SMW enough (I dont) since rasasi seems to have pretty good clones/originals compared to armaf which I have mixed opinions of.

>>12862513
>reflection man
I'd recommend making your first wearing in private. Stuff is volatile.

>>12862865
Really? I find it to be about the smoothest, most inoffensive scent one could think of. It's basically a very high quality "fresh laundry" scent.

Do you mean Interlude or something?

>>12862918
>Do you mean Interlude or something?
I totally did. Coffee first, /frag/ second.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGz2qpilPB8
holy shit got new respect for this guy, really went above and beyond here feeding my autism

>>12862922
Ah, ok. That makes more sense. Interlude can definitely be pretty toxic if you're not careful. Reflection is like Amouage's safest scent by far.

Why is CDNI so nauseating

>>12863499
Because it's a cheap clone of an already inconsistent fragrance. Or alternatively, because it's made by Arabic scum. You pick.

>>12863507
is insurrection pure this nauseating?

>>12863523
Insurrection Pure II is a bigger waste of money than CDNI, though that's because it just doesn't perform at all. It has a much nicer opening that smells closer to Aventus, but it's gone within an hour and it sits very close to the skin. Think of a Calvin Klein version of Aventus, then water it down even further than you're imagining.

>>12862513
that's so funny, SMW is probably my favorite creed, i get rotten openings from their other ones but that one is just straight sweet glory to my nose

Today i tried Gallagher Carpe Café. A comment on fragrantica described it as "like walking into the gift shop at cracker barrel" — and i couldn't agree more. But the dry down is actually pleasant, but short lived. Gets really woody and fresh.

Might consider it if it wasn't so sickly sweet but i dont think it's for me.

>>12863638
Thanks for the info! I hadn't tried that one yet.

all the overhyped "compliment beasts" are memes, all of them.

>>12863763

also fragcels and youtube reviewers will try to pump up molecule 01 as magic juice. it's literally just a light sandalwood smell. it's not special

>>12863825

aventus is well-rated imo. it smells good always

>>12863499
>>12863507
Funy bcuz I just copped and it smells incredible. My first arabic prince/shitskin purchase. How did i do :+)

>>12863829
Molecule 01 is pure pencil shavings / cedar. For when you want to say to those around you, "yeah, I work in a lumberyard", only using your scent instead of words.

>>12863825
>>12863838
Aventus is a quality scent. Being popular doesn't change that. La Nuit, now there's a meme.

>>12863763
MI is not necessarily my favorite scent, but it's of higher quality than a Bath and Body Works spray. Let's not get silly. Maybe you just don't like melon.

>>12863919
Spray it in your shoes. That's what I use it for.
