To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Roja Parfums Enigma. The scent is extremely ReFiNeD, and without a solid grasp of HaUtE pErFuMeRy, most of the RaReSt RaW mAtErIaLs® will go over a typical peasant's head.

Sauvage is decent but I'll never buy as long as they have a proven wife beater as the face of their marketing, disgusting

>>13086339
I dunno, man. That bitch gives off a real psycho vibe. Dunno that I trust anything that comes out of her mouth. (I do think Johnny Depp is a scumbag, though).

>Asking about feminine frags in /fa/.

Has anyone got an opinion on Dior Poison or Hypnotic Poison?

I haven't had a chance to test them yet, but the notes SOUND good - But I have a thing for frags that have a few distinct notes rather than a jumble of accords.

My regular frags are
>Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass
Sunny fields of clover and lavender, drys down to fresh dried hay.
>Paco Rabanne Olympea
Straight salt, vanilla and jasmine.
>Paco Rabanne Black XS.
Dark chocolate, cranberry and dark lacquered wood.

>>13086490
I don't have any personal experience with either Poison, but I follow the same rules with feminine as I do with masculine fragrances - always be suspicious of perfumes introduced before 2010 due to reformulation. Hypnotic Poison has been reformulated several times, and it does not perform like it used to:

https://www.fragrantica.com/board/viewtopic.php?id=60176

If you're still interested in Hypnotic Poison (and American), Fragrancenet appear to still have a single 30 ml bottle of the previous packaging / reformulation available as of right now.

Unrelated to the Dior discussion, I just received a tester of Lancome Oud Bouquet and it might be your kind of scent - Prailine, Oud, Rose, Vanilla, Saffron. Easily digested, ultra smooth, and very potent in its Eau de Parfum formulation ($45 on notino).

>>13086485
I bought the 100 ml bottle. It lasts pretty long on me, at least a good 8 hours. Decent projection, though not a monster. Dries down after a couple hours into this really nice sandalwood/incense scent with just the least bit of sweetness and florals.

I’m enjoying it. Probably was reckless to blind buy 100 mls, but’s it’s semi-limited and I just had to have it. Turned out to be a good buy.

I should say, if you’re looking for a heavy, sweet, syrupy scent, you’ll be disappointed. It’s deceptively light despite having so many traditionally heavy notes. The sweetness is rather subtle.

>>13086530
Incense and sandalwood have coincidentally been the themes of some recent purchases (Silver Bond and E04) so I'll definitely enjoy this as well. Thanks for the additional thoughts and the recommendation.

How similar are Mugler Pure Havana and Pure Tonka? Does owning one justify owning the other?

I have both coming in and I'm worried they're both very similar

>>13086557
Yeah, you’ll probably like it then. Give it a try, see what you think. I got samples of Maxed Out and Dark Heart of Old Havana, as well. Maxed Out wasn’t for me because of the cumin note, but Havana was really nice. That one is a pretty syrupy-sweet gourmand bomb. Might grab a bottle.

Pretty impressed with the house so far. Seems like she makes a lot of fun, good-quality scents.

>>13086569
Pure Havane smells like honey tobacco, Pure Tonka smells like cookies & cream

They are different enough to own both, but they do serve similar purposes

>>13086569
does anyone else not want to try a frag because of the shitty looking bottle? this looks like a middle schoolers deodorant

>>13086603
I hate the Mugler bottles. I bought the metal one just so I don’t have to deal with that hideous plastic shit anymore.

>>13086572
>Pure Havane smells like honey tobacco

Shit, have you tried Lanvin Avant Garde? How similar is it to that? It's also a huge honey tobacco fused scent.

Great cheapie by the way for anyone interested in it

>>13086629
>Great cheapie by the way for anyone interested in it

Nevermind. It was $20 back in 2013 now it's over $60.

>>13086603
It has kept me from blind buying Pure Havane to be honest.

>>13086629
Not him, but there are heaps of great honey tobacco fragrances out there. Avant Garde is great. My favourites are:

Lagerfeld Cologne (old version)
Chergui
Fumerie Turque
Back to Black

They all balance the act between being slightly animalistic and skanky and luxuriously smooth and rich, but not overly sweet.

My favourite honey is currently pic related, although it has no tobacco in it.

>>13086629
Think it's discontinued so prices are creeping up.
as far as it smelling like pure havan just in the same vein but different.

I have smelled Hypnotic Poison.

To be honest it reminded me of home made rice krispie squares. It is very sweet and probably too feminine (and this is coming from a guy that does wear women's scents). Personally I'd aim for something subtler.

>>13086945
In my experience - That sickening fucking grape bubblegum scent.

Strippers all wear it and men go fucking nuts for that shit. I'll never get it.

>>13086957
I am a very feminine female, anon; That's why I was asking.
Honestly, rice krispie squares sounds pretty appealing! I'll find somewhere that stocks it locally for a test.

I got Versace Dylan Blue for Christmas and I love it. Smells woody but with notes reminiscent of water. Maybe I'm being fooled by the bottle but the smell reminds me of fountains for some reason. It rules.

>>13086960
In that case go to town! You'll probably enjoy it a lot, it's been a staple scent for ages now. I believe there is another version of it in a purple bottle? I recall enjoying that one a little more (it's a little more nighttime but retains the sweetness)

>>13086388
Jeremy's glutes leave me disappointed desu

t. enigmaposter

Just received this cheapie. Not worth even $25, its just rubbing alcohol with a hint of rose. Really enjoyed black aoud and reflection man testers however.

Also r8 my meme collection

What's the ingredient in all of Roja's frags that make them smell like piss

>>13086945
Depends. Are you a guy too? Sauvage.

Are you a grill? I'd see myself attracted to someone wearing something like Absolue Pour le Soir, vintage Opium, Musvlc Tonkin.

>>13087008
Meme/10 except possibly that SL bottle but I can't tell what that is.

>>13086485

Glad you enjoyed, don't get me wrong some of his brand's scents are good but I just like taking the piss out of some of the cult like worshippers on social media.

>>13086485
>Asian customs can be an eastern Europe tier bitch, depending on the country. Hope your bottle comes through soon.
I've bought from FragranceX and luckyscent, both arrive in four days and a little bit over a week respectively.

If mine does not arrive by Feb I think I'll need to shoot them an email.

Any dutchies here bought something from Parfums Vintage? Mine arrived today at the postoffice but they wanted me to pay another 22 euros for clearance and I'm not paying 40 euros total for 3 samples.

>>13086660
i get more hay than tobacco on chergui. still enjoyable

Good stuff but not that versatile for a signature scent

Is Jeremy /your/ guy? I watched some of his video, he's really passionate and kinda slightly autistic in a way.
Funny really.

>>13087322
>slightly autistic in a way
Is this why he's so cringy most of the time?

I like some of the girls though.

>>13087322

Some of his gestures/body language is kind of awkward but I don't know if he does it ironically. Doesn't matter though, he's so attractive that girl's wont give a fuck even if it is unintentional.

>>13087322
wish he wouldn't make so many useless videos

>>13087322

>passionate

Bruh if Jerememe is passionate then a lot of other fragheads are high priests.

>>13087322
He's a perfumepleb, hardly passionate, too soft on perfumes that every one of them seems like he's being paid to shill them.

>>13087322
>holds hands together in front of face

>queue somber Tibetan singing bowl

Ok so I'm dipping my toes in this fragrance thing and tried out some colognes at the mall. My faves were these three.

>Versace Dylan
>Versace Eros
>Paco Rabanne Invictus

Which is the best to use for daily wear?

>>13087490
holy shit

>>13087515
Dylan blue, eros too strong, invictus not sure I think this one is also too loud, fragrance community hates this but likes invictus aqua so maybe check that one too.

Just receive a gift from mom's friend,
Is this Calvin Klein 'eternity moment' is lit?

I live in a place where I may have only smelled frags on other guys about a dozen times living in this area all my life.
On that note, would ADG Profumo be a good "unique" signature scent year round?

>>13087008
That’s a lot of black and gold. Persian/10.

>>13087008
"Acqua di Gio killed my dog when I was 7 years old" / 10

>>13087526

Have any of you wonderful people had any luck asking Parfum d'Empire for samples directly?
Hermes, Lutens and Creed were all more than happy to send me samples after I politely inquired about them for what it's worth.

I'm a fragrance amateur, I've only ever used what my barbershop sold (Taylor of Old Bond Street currently) and I just got cdn intense and it smells great. it may be a meme, but it seems to be a good gateway frag. thanks for the rec everyone.

>>13086945
I wish i asked this girl on the bus what she was wearing one day because it was intoxicating and what inspired me to find a fragrance of my own.
I should have asked that girl out.

I can tell you what I dont like, and its super sweet, cheap scents. I dont think I've ever liked anything from Victorias Secret, where 90% of young women get their perfume.

>>13088258
Agreed on that, most of the time I'm disgusted by the perfume women wear because its cheap, overly sweet and synthetic shite.

Love me some Vera Wang for men. Anyone here have it?

my mommie loves rosemary & mint scented soaps, can anyone recommend a good perfume that doesn't smell like a powdery grandma?

>>13086263
What are some good vanilla fragrances? I want to smell delicious.

>>13088299
Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille, Angelique Noire, Cuir Beluga

>>13088301
Thank you, friend.

>>13087515
Dylan Blue is easily your safest bet

>>13088299
Un Lys is nice if you like smelling like flowers too

>>13088284

Shalimar. It's your grandma in leather ;^)

>>13088299
This is amazing. I got a 500 ml bottle for 15€.

Whats the best chypre

>>13088301
Highly seconded. A cheaper alternative to the last, while not so well blended and smooth, is Reminiscence Vanille.

>>13088615
Chypre Palatin
Goddamn I should've bought a larger decant before they reformulated last year

I'm getting this slightly ambery scent from only my left wrist, haven't worn a frag at all today... Is that just my natural smell and I've only just noticed it?

Who ya got?

>>13088734
I was given Platinum Egoist as my first perfume ever by an aunt. I really like it still, even though it lasts no time at all. It has the same dna as Chanel Eau de Cologne in that right off the bat, it smells pleasant and inoffensive, but it dries down to a velvety smooth texture that envelopes your skin luxuriously.

I admire Egoist for its history (and the legendary ad) but it's very pungent, gets to my throat and makes me nauseous very quickly. Certainly is a unique gattaca, but I have no idea why it does this.

Awesome Egoiste ad:

Going out with some friends for drinks. Should I use VPH or Eros

>>13089015
Eros. Need dat projection so the qt waitress will get wet.

>>13087250
Update on this, I mailed PV they basically told me something like 'we've never seen that before, tough luck deal with it'. I feel like I should refund paypal then pay the clearance or something like that.

>>13089038
Dope

Hows Invictus intense?

>>13089051
That's definitely shitty. Can you contact anybody at the post office to appeal the fees? The amount seems very unreasonable, but then I'm not familiar with European tax systems.

>>13087443
His plebiness is exactly what separates him from other fragheads/reviewers and precisely why he’s so popular besides being good looking. He gives young attractive guys very solid advice about what young attractive girls think smells good and sexually attractive as opposed to some fraghead “connoisseur” who will recommend some super nishe oud bullshit that fragheads think is amazing but normal people in the real world think smells like ass.

>>13089846
I agree. His main point is be attractive and smell nice to other people (mainly young women), not be different to average male by smelling uncomfortably peculiar or 40 years dated.

>>13089855
>>13089846
His tastes fucking suck though, Sauvage and La nuit, really? Even if others think it smells good I would fucking hate myself walking around wearing these

>>13087515
Any more advice for this one?

>>13089846
Fair enough, but if you're watching him you better be a pre-teen girl

>>13089775
Been rotating between Sauvage, Eros and Spicebomb for the entire month.

>>13089143
But I am very shitty if it means burning myself for some stranger or company. Anyways I looked it up apparently items under 22 euros dont need any payment so I can probably appeal the fees. Else if they actually send it back and not discard it or something I can do >>13089704.

It sucks that we would still have to follow IFRA post Brexit :^( feelsbadman

>>13089864

what part of he wears s what women like don't you get? And those are hardly bad scents. Memes aside, they might not be the best frags but they are perfectly serviceable. Especially la nuit, which was unique when it came out, there still is not that meany cardamon heavy frags.

How strong is the bergamot in Valentino Uomo?
Does it add a slight tang to the nuttiness? Or is it overly sharp?

Sometimes I wear my frag/sample so I can sleep better. Anyone else?

What's a good all-year round frag? The only one I've heard that is versatile enough is BdC edt, any others?

>>13091310

Frankly I just like wearing frags though.

>>13092147
I dunno what do you like? What sort of image are you trying to present? How much are you trying to spend (even on a sample)?

>>13087515
You could probably do better imo but I'm biased because I hate all of those scents.

>>13091310
I think hanae Mori HM edt might be wearable year round.

Generally my favorite year round scents all have tobacco in them. I wear d&g pour homme all of the time. I don't get a lot of compliments on it but it's such a lovely scent that I always come back to it even though it was only my second purchase. I really need to cop some of the vintage batches.

Also guerlain vetiver extreme

>>13092147
I like pure malt and pure havane. Although I'm the type who gets sicker when I smell those on me in the morning but I'm a little bitch.

Wtf I love Eros now

i use the ysl la nuit and I was wondering if fake perfumes were similar to the actual ones

want to get a replacement but I don't want to blow so much money(am a college student)

also want to try out sauvage

I tried that JPG Ultra Male shit today. How you guys got memed into wearing Pink Sugar is beyond me. That shit smells fucking vile my dudes, literally like a bitch perfume.

I'm interested in a coffee fragrance, Is Mugler Pure Coffee up there in terms of coffee frags?

>>13092531
someone actually recommended Ultra Male to someone looking for a date perfume in the last thread while shitting on D&G The One lol

>>13092627

>>13092288
>Also guerlain vetiver extreme

how does that compare to the regular vetiver?

Got pure poison for my mom and both she and my sister love it, it is fresh and floral, like a more definitivively feminine Creed smw (which I already feel is feminine leaning)

>>13086269
I really don't care for this infographic

A. I think classifying beyond season/weather/location appropriateness is pointless

B. A number of these are not that great smelling and expensive while many great, affordable fragrances are omitted

>>13086945
I think I find myself most attracted to feminine gourmands that are not too synthetic. I also appreciate florals if worn right. I mean as a guy I am fucking attracted to the smell of feminine sweat/lewd smells so it doesn't take much...

>>13087322
>>13087371
His videos seem like fucking rehashes of the same 40 frags switched around in orders for his lists

I liked his early videos which is why I initially subscribed but he rarely does new/relevant reviews anymore and that's what I care about

>>13087515
None of these for daily scents, these are all like club scents with Dylan blue maybe being a little more ok

>>13092147
Issey miyake summer editions
Mugler cologne

>>13092531
>>13092627
I like ultra male but it is so heavy that I wouldn't actually wear it. Aka I like the smell but I'd rather smell it on a girl than on myself.

DG the one is my signature scent for sure though. It used to be la yuqawam but I stopped wearing that.

>>13092531
That's why I try everything on store first. Mont Blanc Individuel was recommended and it reeks of bounce fabric softener, garbage.

What colognes did you have in mind?

>>13092229

>>13092531

>>13092823
Well the difference there is that JPG Ultra Male costs like $90, whereas MBI costs like $20. I blind bought MBI cuz theres no way to test it in stores, and I actually like it quite a bit. But JPG Ultra male literally smells like Pink Sugar. If you don't believe me, go do a side by side test. You guys all got memed.

>>13093445

absolutely not

>>13093448
Poor lil fuccboi is in denial. Bro, it smells like Aquolina. Just get the original Le Male, it smells pretty good and supposedly the new Puig formulation has great performance.

>>13093445
I cannot wear mbi for long periods of time, I find it a little nauseating

>>13089775
hey my feline friend ;), how strong is Patchouli leaves? Montale is almost intimidating by how strong their openings are.

>>13093525
Patchouli Leaves is at least as strong as Black Aoud. Solid projection for over twelve hours, lasting on your clothes through two or more washes. Comparable to 24 Gold / Gold Oud.

Kouros Guy, please stop me from buying this:

Anyone try cbihateperfume?

There's some interesting scents there but I'd need to drive out ~40min just to smell them. They're also on the pricey side it seems

Which classic cheapie should I blind buy? I'm talking things like Caron Third Man, Azarro PH, Aramis Havana, Zino, etc.

all i care about is hedi's release for celine

bois dargent, eau noire, and cologne blanche were masterpieces

Issey has some good scents. Look at bleu de Chanel as an alternative to the citrusy ones. Dylan isn't really that bad of a choice though.

I hate eros and think it smells like sythnetic vanilla though so I'm also biased.

But as far as other recs go you can easily find...
Chanel allure and its flankers
Hanae Mori HM

We are way under 300 you damn autist.

Does anyone else have a preference for when you can see how much juice is left in the bottle?

What's the most versatile cold weather boozy scent? I like the smell of 212 VIP but my memory of it since losing my sample is a little hazy.
Would The Brilliant Game or CK Reveal be a good alternative?

>>13094718
Pure malt doesn't seem bad. I think a few sprays is more than fine casually.

For a Terre d'Hermes do you advice a Perfume or an Eau de Toilette for a daily wearing ?

I just bought a Perfume but I'm starting to regret this choice because I read that the purpose of a perfume is for special occasions

>>13094759
I don't know the parfum never came off as something that couldn't be worn daily to me. The parfum is much more orangey to my nose and seems perfect for warmer days, while the Edt is an earthy scent that's appropriate almost year round.

Certainly the EdT is more versatile but the parfum is not by any means too specific. Have you tried both?

>>13094759
Oh and also just one more point - perfume concentration is usually reserved for fancier things, and is also more common with women's fragrances (at least in my limited experience). So if you just mean perfume in general, don't let that fool you. Concentration doesn't say anything about how formal a scent is or isn't. There are EdTs I wouldn't dream of wearing unless I was in a tux while other high concentrations that I'd wear just around. (TdH being one of them.)

Just me or are Jubilation and Interlude pretty similar? Like J25 is a bit fruitier and Interlude is more incense/(w)oudy. I want to like them and buy J25 but so far I definitely dont like it enough to justify a bottle. I need to get a sample and test it somewhere else than inside there but the girl at the store was being a jew.

What the fuck, give me legacy back those pictures are horrible. Half the time you have to include the pole on the road signs and half the time you dont.

So I don't think I get it.

As a bias I don't like expensive scents that don't last for a while unless I REALLY like the scent. I like rocky mountain wood because it is a cheap wood scent that lasts all day on my skin. At the recommendation of frag I decided to try this. It's a pretty good scent, I like the pepper notes that change in intensity throughout but the longevity isn't great imo. For what it goes for and the hype it receives I suppose I expected it to last. I'm not crazy about the scent but maybe I just need to apply more so I can smell it longer.
>>13095025

>>13095041
It last 8+hours on me with two sprays. I know a lot of people complained about WW's longevity, I guess I'm just lucky.

>>13095052
I have a similar experience with a few sprays. Ck one shock is one of those. Lasts for fucking ever.

Granted I was just dabbing myself with a decant so that could have something to do with it.

>tfw 6 figure salary but dont own enigma, feel gud

Fragrence normie here - only ever wore Club de Nuit Intense Man because its cheap and everyone likes it (and it is really nice) but I'm thinking of getting something more interesting.

Can anyone rec me some really woody, undergrowthy scents with tobacco smoke thrown in there? A bit of leather or spice would be welcome but not necessary. Avoid smelling 'synthetic'. Preferably low budget but throw anything at me you think fits the description.

Thanks.

>>13095294
>>13095372

HL fag here.
Pretty spergy to make the new thread, but the anon did have a point, Roja has been going downhill. People caught the wave late sadly. Id say anything pre mid '16 is still decent. Many frags got reformed, including his own if you believe the marketing, the formula I have is pretty good tho, the new formula smells generally weaker and the vanilla smells more gourmand.

Still tho, what a faggot to make a meme thread, is it the sausage meme dude?

I really like woodsy notes, I'd buy wonderwood but spending £90 on a bottle that only lasts 6 hours on me isn't worth it imo.
Been thinking of Pure Wood. Is it worth a sample at least?

>>13095510
Eh, I mean, I’m not really a huge Roja fan anyway. I have Enigma and Amore Mio, both of which I got for a pretty good price. I haven’t liked his other scents that I’ve tried, and I think Elysium is almost insultingly overpriced for what it is.

Still, though, I don’t get why that faggot’s do autistic about Roja. It’s not like there are tons of people here constantly shilling his stuff. His scents barely get talked about for the most part, unless it’s someone being autistic. I mean, it’d be like constantly making threads on /tv/ about a movie no one saw that’s never mentioned. It just seems silly and unnecessary.

>>13095577

Yeah its pretty pointless sperging about anything on here, it's not like it's going to be a grand exposee. Atleast he used to do good vintage-feel frags. Instead of vintage hunting im thinking of actually getting some materials and blending myself. If I do that I can use as much as I want rather than risking shelling out for either an overpriced product with little in it, or one day getting an off vintage. The only difficulty with that would be MQO or finding a very specific material breed.

>>13092531
i feel the same, it's so sweet and pungent it reminds me of those tart perfumes girls in highschool used to wear

>>13092147
AdG Profumo for something dinner/drink related or more dressed up.

AHSEE for something more casual or outdoors.

>>13095041
>>13095052
Same. Excellent longevity, plus decent projection and sillage on my skin. In fact, much better performance (and scent) than RMW for me. Weird.

>>13095455
John varvatos dark rebel and the flanker rebel rider might fit the bill.

>>13095638
I’d love to try making my own fragrances, unfortunately I’m in Canada and there aren’t any places here that sell the stuff I’d need. I’d have to order from the U.S., and a lot of that stuff is classified as hazardous materials, requiring specific permits to be able to import. Doable, but it’d be expensive and probably take a while.

Maybe someday...

>>13095879
Cross the border?

>>13095981
A. don’t have a car
B. The sites that sell this stuff don’t have physical locations
C. the only places I’ve seen that do sell any of this sort of stuff that have physical locations are in California
D. I’m in Ontario
E. I’d still have to declare anything I’m bringing back, and the importation of hazardous materials would still require a permit. They’d probably just confiscate anything I tried to bring across the border.

Basically, you’re SoL if you live in Canada and want to make fragrances. Maybe later in the year once I’ve moved into my new place and my financials are a little more stable, I’ll send the perfumer’s apprentice an email and ask what they’d recommend I do.

>>13095879
I have been wanting to get some super high quality oakmoss and throwing into some decants

>>13095455
>synthetic
If you use that word when describing fragrances, you're a retarded aspergers fuckshit nigger and have no clue what you're talking about. Find a different hobby, dick.

>>13096658
Pretty much this, desu. People have this weird notion that synthetic notes are bad or inferior somehow, and that’s plain ignorant. This is not food. Every ingredient does not need to be 100% natural. Synthetics enhance other notes and allow perfumers to create scents that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. Honestly, the vast majority of people I see complaining about a scent being “too synthetic” are just autists rehashing other autists’ dumbass criticisms of popular scents to try to look cool.

Knock that shit off and go do some research, dummies.

Hey Fraggots,
My name is Olivier, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, noseblind, no-lifes who spend every second of their day blind buying cheap middle eastern clones. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever even smelled Aventus? I mean, I guess it’s fun making fun of Creed fanboys because of your poverty, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than owning 1 Million.
Don’t be a stranger. Just hit me with your signature fragrance. I’m pretty much perfect. I created Dior Homme, and Midnight in Paris. What frags have you made, other than “layer CDNIM with Sauvage”? I also am head of Chanel fragrances, and have a banging hot face of my new EDP (She just blew me; Shit had a certain je ne sais quois). You are all faggots who should just wear Nautica Voyage. Thanks for listening.

>I created Dior Homme

Whats that cheap one I smell everywhere that smells like someone just opened a bottle of tequila?

>>13096965
Eau de Cuervo

>>13096976
nah, smells more like Sierra.

>>13096695
I guarantee 100% of those autists wouldn't be able to pick out a synthetic smell from the real thing when presented with a lineup. "Synthetic" gets used anytime there's something about a frag they don't like but can't quite put their finger on. It's like a new age health nut talking about "toxins" when they have no clue what that actually means or how the body works.

>>13096993
Nope. I don't specifically know what's the unfortunate aroma molucules they use in a majority of Byredo, Montale fragrances, but they do smell synthetic and I assure you most people can tell that to you as well.

There's nothing snobbish about that too.

>>13086339
Wtf I love savage now! Btw that chick is a cunt and you know it.

>>13086945
Nothing. Men aren't attracted to scent. We're attracted to looks for survival reasons.

>>13094759
How do you wear this? I have this and I can't apply it anywhere above my collarbone because it gives me nausea. It smells good tho.

>>13097139
>Silly thinking that the sense of smell is not an inherently important survival skill resulting in humans (men in particular) having developed the sense enormously

>>13095879
>>13096098

If you do get a chance to order Pellwall, White Lotus, Eden botanicals and Hermitage (when they've relocated tho, they started the process a few months ago) are the best bet for getting materials without having to do huge orders from the much larger companies.

>>13097147
No. Pheromones are more of a girl thing. Look it up dooder

>>13096765
Dude looks like Hans from Peep Show

>>13096993
>>13097103
Well, there certainly are notes that are better or worse than others, versions that smell cheaper and obviously more chemically. This is not because they’re synthetic, though, rather it’s because the designer is using low quality ingredients. Using low quality natural ingredients won’t yield any better results than using shitty synthetics.

>>13095550
I will never try A*Men. Plastic bottle? Really? What shitty marketing. I will never view it as anything more than babbys first perfume.
Plus, pure wood sound more gourmand that woody.

>>13096765
God that girl is repulsive.

>>13097103
>they do smell synthetic

Please describe to me what makes them smell synthetic. Can you smell the bottle they were made in? The grease from the equipment in the production facility in which they were made? I think you're full of shit.

>>13097103
If it smells bad, just say that. No need to regurgitate buzzwords that make you sound like an asshole.

>>13086945
Slava Zaitsev Maroussia
Etat Libre d'Orange Jasmin et Cigarette
Lancome Magie Noire

>>13097544

Not that anon but I think anything excessively sharp and one note is considered synthetic since most synthetics are singular molecules, so maybe that's how it has become associated.

Personally I only use the "synthetic" descriptor if something smells harsh, linear and just have a presence about it that feels man made in a lab, you can't put your finger on it but it just feels that way.

Not saying thats the case for everything, some people think a rose synthetic with a floral aroma smells more "natural" to them and their imagination of rose when comported to the absolutes which can have their own facets e.g. peppery undertones or even citrusy ones.

>>13097593
*compared

>>13097569
Exactly. It smells cheap and low quality? Say that. That has nothing to do with the notes being synthetic, it has to do with them being cheap, low quality shit.

Every time I see a reviewer say something is synthetic I automatically shut it off. Same as when they start with the reformulation stuff. Sometimes I enjoy a scent one day and not so much the next day, and it's the same bottle. The average pleb on fragrantica, basenotes, YouTube is just rehashing other reviews anyway. You remember taking online classes and having to summarize a reading assignment? Instead of reading you go look at 2 or 3 other summaries and fabricate your own to be similar. It's like that.

>>13097635

I'd say if its an experienced reviewer that has a lot of vintages and intimately knows a fragrance, then their opinion should carry weight.

It's a valid concern if someone is a buyer that cares about value, for example if a fragrance commands a certain price and is subsequently reformulated specifically to maximise profits and maintains the same price or maybe i even raised, then people should know about it.

If you don't really worry about that kinda stuff then fair enough.

>>13097478
Pic related came in a plastic bottle and it is straight GOAT.

>>13097662
i wish i could have tried this. I love wonderwood.

I think I smell sauvage on someone the otherday. I kind of liked it the few times I've tried it, but man I was shit smelling it on someone else.

I also think it stains and leave a very medicinal scent on clothes.

>>13097635
>>13097659
Honestly, I chalk a lot of “reformulations” up to simple batch inconsistencies. Some houses are definitely better than others in this regard, but it’s basically impossible for 2 batches of ANYTHING to be 100% identical. Even, say, coke. Buy 2 cans of coke from different batches, they don’t taste the same. They’re similar enough that they’re both coke, but some batches are sweeter, some are more watery, etc. Add in the fact that fragrances are often produced in multiple different facilities, it’s not hard to see why 2 bottles of the same fragrance could smell different.

I’d also say that in my experience, with a few notable exceptions (looking at you, Creed), most “reformulated” fragrances tend to be close enough that I don’t really give a shit. 5-10% difference in smell or performance? Don’t care.

What a fucking amazing scent. Finally got to try this and its just a killer scent. Sweet, spicy, boozy, and some leather. Lasts all day too. I wasn't extremely impressed by 1725,but this a a whole new experience. Really wanna cop a bottle now, and made me excited to try my sample of 1899 too.

>>13097803
Aventus is such a fucking rip off. Creed has some good scents but I for the life of me don't see why I'd pay for that one. I just bought PVI and called it a day

>>13097819
Here’s the thing, though, and I don’t mean to call you out, specifically, but there seems to be this attitude from some people in the fragrance community that some people are suckers and are being ripped off.

Well, we’re all being ripped off. Perfume is a luxury item. It’s produced for pennies on the dollar. Even if you’re buying those cheap Arab roll-ones that cost like 10 bucks, you’re still paying probably 1000% markup at least. This is why this mentality is so silly to me. Quality is subjective. Something might be worth very little to one person and a lot to another. I really wish this silly attitude would go away. No one is impressed by the fact that you don’t buy expensive things.

>>13095771
Cheers!

Has anyone else tried Aramis Black? Would it make a good alternative to The One as a date scent?

>>13097813
1899 is also excellent, like spicebomb but much smoother. While the sweetness is SB reminds one of some kind of cinnamon bubblegum, the sweetness in 1899 almost has a cola feel to it.

>>13086965
I got Dylan Blue recently too it's v nice

Is this stuff good or does it come off as weird/edgy? I love the smell of incense but don't know if it'd translate well to a fragrance

How many of you have had or smelled pic related?

It's easily my favourite from all that I've owned. Funny enough it was randomly gifted to me by my grandma about 5 years ago or maybe more. Anyway I didn't realize how much of a treasure it was until I ran out of it. Wish I cherished it more and prolonged it. They're impossible to buy now. Not sure why canali discontinued such a godly scent.

>>13098093
Forgot pic because I'm an idiot

>>13097841
Well right. Obviously you are paying for a certain level of exclusivity at a certain point but even in this frame of reference there is a point you just get absolutely ripped off. Creed is there but the price is not my concern, it's the fact that they can't into quality control in the slightest, and a bunch of other factors.

Listen - I have no problem spending 400 on something I like. GIT and Original Vetiver are great. But we can still hold each other to not poison the industry any more than it already is.

>>13098240
Well, that’s true. I don’t own Aventus, personally, I do have PVI, because it’s just as good, if not better IMO. I was talking more in terms of the dipshits who automatically attack anyone who buys high-end stuff, usually Creed or, as evidenced by a certain Enigmasperg who shall remain nameless, Roja.

I’m just saying, being smug about frugality is nonsensical and obnoxious.

What are some nice scents to wear in the city (specifically NYC)? I was thinking of something oceany; any recs?

>>13098403

This is a stab in the dark but try Casual Life by Salvatore Ferragamo or Chanel Allure Home Sport (the silver bottle). The Chanel one is like an explosion of aquatic.

What are some good summer fragrances for comfy/casual fits?

Is there a frag that's oceanic but still deep/dark, like not summery or bright at all, even specifically wintery?

>>13098403
notte by acqua di portofino is truly oceancore and so relaxing. i use it only during spring/summer though

>>13098374

Well on the flip side, some people that get fanatical (afaik no-one here) about brands like Roja can make the opposite true. Even if those brands use top tier ingredients like special breeds of flower, they will be limited to the amount they can use. Legally these days you'd only be permitted to use a few drops at most depending on concentration. In the long run you could literally buy "the most expensive ingredients" at a fair amount and blend them together if you wanted, although obviously you need to know how to balance it all out but still, for 10K or less you could do that and have a good decade or two's worth, and since its non-commercial you could use what you like.

>>13098629
Also true. I don’t think there’s really anyone here I would call fanatical about Creed or Roja. There are quite a few people who are autistically anti-Creed or Roja, though. I really only ever see people discussing Creed and Roja scents reasonably and a bunch of dipshits going out of their way to be assholes to those people.

>>13086523
Let's talk about this perfume for a minute. I received my bottle in the mail on Monday and gave a 3ml vial to my perfume thot coworker on Tuesday. She wore it today, claiming 3 sprays from the travel atomizer, and she was noticeable from literally 100 feet-plus. Our workplace is a three story tall, 750k square foot warehouse, and she actually works in the department next to mine, but I could easily smell her over my own Bleu de Chanel EdP all day even after refresh sprays. Two other female coworkers stopped her and then hunted me down to get the name. Not bad for $42 / 75ml on Notino (tester).

There's discussion on Fragrantica that later batches are weaker, but I can vouch that the testers currently being sold for cheap on Notino are absolutely nuclear. If a chocolate bonbon rose oud fragrance with unreal potency seems like your kind of thing, I would jump on this one before it's gone. A bottle should last you for many winters.

>>13098403
The entire Bond No. 9 line is themed around the city of New York, with individual perfumes representing neighborhoods and landmarks. For an oceanic Bond, try Shelter Island or Wall Street.

>>13098528
I think Bulgari Aqua Amara is a lovely winter oceanic scent. There's citrus and florals, but the orange is darkly bitter and the neroli is tempered by a strong patchouli and ocean mineral accord.

>>13098520
Dunhill Icon says taking it easy in the summertime to me.

>>13098528
Amara was a good suggestion also if you consider Aventus oceanic then I would recommend the two Pineapple Vintage Noir flankers Intense and Beyond Noir.

>>13098528
Acqua di Gio Profumo
Tom Ford Oud Minerale

How risky is wearing something like Opium PH to work?

Looking for the best simplistic rose mix.

Rose+Vetiver with some Bergamot and/or citrus if it's spring and some Nutmeg (maybe with some Sage and/or ginger) for winter?

>>13099628
You have to choose between Vetiver or Rose. Unlike vetiver recommendations you have to choose your best rose fragrances , it's too subjective. Paul Smith Rose is a very nice simplistic rose(do what ad tells to do, smell rose and rose branch) but it's feminine because of simplistic rose.

Whats' a safe fragrance for field work? Mostly wearing coverall and it's always summer here.

>>13099706
Hmmm. You think Cedar would be a better base then Vetiver because the later is too strong and overpowers the rose?

>>13097482
Emma Watson was too expensive so they went with this dyke from ((Twilight))

safe blind buy cheapie fors spring summer? anyone has tried it?

Fraggots I'm looking for a new perfume:
It cannot be overwhelming, suffocating or too heavy.
At the same time shit like Aqua di Gio gives me a headache, so I'm definitively not looking for those overly used sweet scents that smells like a citrus air fresheners for cars and/or crappers.

Still looking for something fresh, but lasting a bit longer than 5 minutes. Could start with maritime scents and go into Fahrenheit's cucumber type of freshness with some nice light herbal aromas.

Lately I checked a few: Aqua di Gio (gave me a headache), Chanel Homme Sport (too sweet), and Dior Sauvage (just disgusting) were all a big no, while I quite liked the new Dior Homme Sport.

Any ideas?

>>13086263
what are the best Versace fragrances?

>>13099961
Absolutely worth the $14 or so that it currently lists at.

>>13100025
Eros, Dylan Blue, Eau Fraiche, Pour Homme are probably the most popular.

Eros being the one that stands out, the rest have better but more expensive alternatives.

>>13100168
>Dylan Blue

Why do people keep recommending this awful fragrance. It smells like rotten fruit mixed with crotch sweat.

>>13100168
I have Eros and I absolutely love it. I was considering either Versace Man, Eau Fraiche, or Pour Homme.

Just blind bought this for 20 bucks and it's absolutely amazing wtf. I didn't expect this. Anyone else try this? Destroys most of the stuff on the market today.

>>13100334
Eros is one of the very few designer scents I really like. It just seems a lot more complex than most designers to me. Good mix of sweetness, earthiness, some creaminess from the vanilla and tonka, the freshness from the mint and citrus. It’s strong and can be loud if overapplied, but I think it’s quite nice.

What's the ideal comfy frag for a guy in his mid 20s? Nothing too mature or sweet, just a calming, yet somewhat masculine.
Bulgari Black perhaps?

>>13100379
Bulgari Black is not a comfy frag. Bulgari Black is like edible car tires. It only works with black clothing and leather clothing.

>>13100379
Depends on your budget. Kilian Back to Black is the ideal comfy scent for me. Really nice honey note with spicy, dusty tobacco, a bunch of other supporting notes that add a ton of complexity. It’s a gourmand, but manages to not be too overwhelmingly sweet. Can’t do better for comfort, IMO.

It is very expensive, though. You can save 100.00 by buying a refill kit if you do t care about having the bottle.

>>13100379

what a shitty comment

Are there great spring/summer fragrances that aren't overly citrusy or aquatic? I'm thinking Guerlain Homme Intense, l'Eau Bleue D'Issey and Gucci Pour Homme II if I can find it.

What is most fresh cologne that isn't Acqua Di Gio. Something that you can't stop smelling.

>>13096765

>>13100960
Eros keeps getting posted all over fragrance threads and I have it. Its really good smelling.

>>13101001
I have it and like it but the vanilla keeps it from being fresh for me. I'm thinking something more like VPH side.

>>13100948
Check some Creeds they are pretty good in that regard. I like SMW.
For designers I have no clue, maybe ysl l'homme.

>he buys perfume based on the bottle

>>13100872
that's an interesting idea, a bit too expensive though. I'll go and check Cool Water first and see if I enjoy this direction before thinking about getting Creed perfumes

>>13086263
This shit is so good. If you ever plan on going to Sephora and getting their tester kit, get rain reserve. You get the most for your money. Pay $60 for a $95 bottle, pretty good deal.

Also tried the dolce and gabana one fuuuuck it's so good. It's like a metallic sweet banana smell. The metallic smell is the best part, I haven't smelled other colognes like it.

Is this /frag/ approved? Got it in the mail the other day and I love it. Apparently it smells a lot like Creed Green Irish Tweed which I've never smelled before, but the scent is somehow very familiar to me. Smells really fresh and clean and lasts like 10 hours and the drydown smells like sandalwood and grapes.

Invictus or Invictus Intense?

>>13100011
Encre noire sport might be up your alley
You could also email hermes for some samples of stuff like epice marine or un jardin apres la mousson or something like that.

>>13099911
Like literally in the field?

Equipage, quite possibly.

>>13101551

Yes.

I bet he has shit cardio. He’d gas hard in 2-3 minutes. Fight smart, press him against the cage, make him defend takedowns, chop away at the legs with low kicks. I’m taking Olivier by TKO in the 2nd, maybe the 3rd if Mugler’s got a good chin on him.

Just tried ADG Profumo, I feel it may be a little smoky and dark for the hottest days, but early and late summer then the rest of the year, is that when its at its best?
Feels like it'd cut through the cold well for an aquatic too, based on Dracdoc wearing it a lot recently.

>>13101551
also interesting choices, definitively going to check them,
most probably looking for something more "masculine" than unisex though

>>13099961
Yeah i think it's safe. I posted about it but to my nose it's about 80-90 percent similar to Bleu EdT. I think if I really tried I can tell the difference but shit nigga it's 15 bucks

>>13102293
If you like the chemical notes of Sauvage then you'll like it.

can't talk of the compliments though (not like I ever get compliments lol) since it's still winter but I bought it and PVI. Good longevity, DNA is different enough from PVI

Just got a bottle of By The Fireplace and I'm really enjoying it so far. Are other Maison Margiela fragrances as good as this one?

I've never gotten more compliments on how I smell than when I use this.

>>13102733
I always get compliments on my frags from the little old ladies living in my building. Got one once from a very fat black chick at the supermarket. Never seem to get compliments from actual attractive women.

Shit sux.

Tbh I think I'd appreciate their opinions more.

>>13102828
True enough. Just would be nice to have the occasional qt compliment me, y’know? I have needs too, dammit!

>>13102709
I wore Profumo yesterday in 60 degree weather. It is nice for that temperature range but probably at its best more around 80. Still, it performs decently in cool conditions. One comment yesterday.

I didn't get all of batch X off I think and I put on individuel for the day. I also think my pants smell of fish from working yesterday.

This might be a long day

The original formulation of Yohji Homme is very highly regarded.

>>13086290 I've bought it twice and I get a lot of compliments. I've Been asked by many women and met what I'm wearing. the scent will last for about 5 hours and then it will fade but after 9 hours I've been told that it still has a nice light scent.

It's weak but pretty good. Like the mango in it.

If I like TF Tuscan Leather, will I like Colonia Leather?

Huh I might just grab this so I don't run through my BdC so quickly. I love the bit of incense in BdC, does this replace it with something else?

The Benneton uses patchouli in place of the incense. In practice it's really close to BdC EdT. Not so much like the BdC EdP though. I find Dylan Blue to be a good affordable stand in for the EdP.

I've narrowed down this year's buy to Versace Eros and Paco Invictus. I like sweet, sophisticated, confident colognes.

Which one should I buy? It's gonna be my everyday every occasion scent.
