wtf I love Eros now

After 2h wearing Sauvage, the fragrance becomes kinda dirty and heavy on my skin. This would be a better alternative?

>>13113726
What are you looking for exactly? Any specific notes? Casual, dressy? Versatility? Summer winter etc.?

What are the top 5 no-fail fragrances? I don't want to be a perfume nerd I just want to wear something attractive and good day to day.

>>13113647
>Allure Homme Sport
smells generic lemon spritz
>Bleu De Chanel
I don't like the feminine powdery characteristic it has
>Prada L'homme

>D&G The One EDP
I had The One and the performance was non-existent. It last one(lol) minute.
>Valentino Uomo Intense/Dior Homme Intense

>>13113733
A more mature, summer fragrance that have the same appeal to females.

>>13113759
>VPH
weak performance. generic citrus

>Dylan Blue
smells like rotten oranges mixed with crotch sweat

>>13113753
For me it’s
Versace blue jeans
Issey miyake
212
Boss soul
And joop go

I have others but these seem to be the ones a gravitate towards the most.

>>13113764
VPH doesn't last long but is still great. Dylan Blue is trash but I wasn't talking about that.

>>13113766
Are you me?

Is Individuel the grown up, more daytime and spring/autumn friendly version of Joop homme?
I like the sweetness of Joop once in a while but its too strong to wear unless its a very casual ocassion

Look what I picked up for 70 euros lads. As far as my nose can tell it's legit.

>>13114021
>stubby R
anon I.....

just kidding

>>13114021
That's fake. Just buy individuel. Smells the same lol.

>>13113824
What’s your /fa/ style anon? Would be freaky if our taste in cologne continued on into our dress sense

>>13114096
My /fa/ style tends to be palewave in the spring/ summer, then either comfycore or a milsurp esque style when it gets colder. A few cosplay style pieces here and there like jackets or shoes that go with the style I put out.

>bought PV X Batch last xmas
>almost feb
>still not here

>>13114134
Email them, lad.

>>13113762
SAUVAGE

>>13114021
How?

>>13113762
Eros and Invictus are both confidant, mature scents suitable for any young entrepreneur.

>>13114239
Kek

That's my waifu.

Just ordered Eros and SF F Black

Already know Eros is a beast but how's the SF? I mean it's cheap but the reviews are pretty solid for it.

Damn Jubilation 25 is starting to grow on me after ~5 tries. Or maybe thats because I wanted to like it. Was planning on buying one or a few bottles in like 2-3 months depending on how high/low BTC/my portfolio will be. Got my eyes on Herod Habdan and J25. Anyone got some recs to check out?

>>13114217
Find someone selling it for that price and buy it before someone else grabs it I guess.

>>13114127
I’m down with the palewave for summer done with skater brands though, im the generic 00s type in /fa/. Don’t mind experimenting occasionally but I’m comfy in the threads I wear. Good choice on the colognes senpai!

Guys, the newer versions of Fahrenheit have good performance?

>>13114350
to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Dior Fahrenheit. The scent is extremely avant-garde, and without a solid grasp of theoretical perfumery, most of the notes will go over a typical wearer's head.

>>13114333
Maybe give 4160 Tuesdays Eau My Soul a go. Very nice sandalwood/incense with some subtle sweetness.

Actually just ordered bottles of Dark Heart of Old Havana and Centrepiece, as well as a bunch of other samples. Really impressed with the house so far.

>>13114350
I have a 2017 bottle, no problems here.

>>13114359
I tested one time at Sephora, I don't like the opening but the drydown it's amazing.

>>13114359
i used to think it was something unique until lynx bought out their peace line. Smells exactly the same as farenheit albeit in a weaker form, might cop some now, not had non since the 90s

>>13114359
I have read this exact words a couple of times, is it a meme?

>>13114312
What happened to her? I enjoyed her videos.

>>13114377
No sir, I would never engage in such wanton memery.

so far

>>13113726
It's powdery sauvage with half the longevity

>>13114421
Whats the second one on the left? I know is parfums de marly

Is Armaf Tres Nuit any good? I was thinking on getting that one or Cool Water once I end my Guerlain L´Homme Ideal for everyday use

>>13114421
Very nice

>>13114315
Didn't notice anything special for SF.

>>13114497

herod.


It's a copy of green irish tweed. Basically i smelled all creed fragrances and I was let down by most of them. The one that stood out was GIT as being a perfect scent. I think I might be an outlier thou because I'm severely unimpressed by aventus, I also had a decant of GIT and no girl would compliment me and a guy told me I smell like some aftershave he had. It's better suited for office wear, not for special occasions

Tres nuit is the closest thing you can get to GIT witout paying the huge price

>>13114555
GIT is for stuffy 40-50+ men. It was made for Cary Grant, you know.

>>13114578

Have you even fucking smelled it? it doesn't smell old at all, it's has the same vibe as bdc as an example.

also I wouldn't listen to creeds marketing department for anything except on how to write fiction.

>>13114588
It’s a meme, you dip!

>>13114555
Rasasi Egra is superior to Tres Nuit in every way except for availability / distribution.

>>13114639
I've been looking for GIT alternative. Never heard of Rasasi Egra but thanks for the info.

how much will fragrance help me get laid?

like what is the chance that someone will compliment my fragrance over my shirt or whatever

>>13114665
some would say that your look doesn't matter as long as you smell nice

The redpill on compliment getters fragrances:
https://youtu.be/Kcapwjeo9hk

>>13114683
100% accurate.

Jeremy would get compliments if he smelled like stale ass because he’s good looking. Also definitely has the Virgin Chad insecurity going.

What an excellent fragrance with shit longevity. It basically goes through everything it has to say in a few hours but man what a few hours.

>>13114555
>herod
>similar to git in any way
Are you a fuckin retard?

>>13114759
He was talking about Tres Nuit. You don’t read so good, do ya?

Opinions on Reflection Man? I may try a sample since it fits the bill on what I'd like for work or casual wear

>>13114819
It smells nice and inoffensive, but I feel like it's way too feminine.

>>13114832
I don’t find Reflection feminine at all, personally.

>>13114683
I'm sure what they're saying is on the money but terrible presentation. To save everyone else the horror of watching this 18 min video that could be summarized in a short point form list, I shall watch the entire vid and summarize

-fragrance will get your compliments when people are looking to compliment you or start a convo, but otherwise is not a magical pantry dropping aphrodisiac
-even if they fucking love your scent they will JUST love your scent, not you

In short, it's like any other accessory. If you have a really well coordinated outfit that's as a whole appropriate for your personality, persona, and your social event it's cool, but people aren't going to go "oh that's a nice belt, wanna fuck?"

>>13114819
I'm obsessed with it, favourite frag of all time.

Check whether you're getting a made in Oman or UK bottle though. UK formulation is softer and smells better imo but the made in Oman lasts longer and is heavier on the masculine notes.

>>13114917
Thanks for that anon.

I will disagree to a small extent, smelling nice can really help a lot more than most individual things will but yes it isn't a magic pussy attracting juice like some claim. And the variances between them aren't that great, anything that's mass appealing will do the same as any other mass appealing frag.

>>13114683
>Canadian cucks lol

As someone who's lived in Toronto but now living in Barcelona. Toronto girls are just boring. They wouldn't know the difference between something like Valentino Uomo and Axe.
what a complete waste of 2 minutes (that's when I exited that garbage video).

S.

>>13115029
Goddamn, ain’t that the truth. I hate this fucking city so much. You hear dipshits throw around the term “basic bitch”, and as much as I hate it, Toronto girls are the most basic of basic bitches. Such horrible, boring, stuck up cunts. I don’t even try to date here anymore. It’s not worth the effort.

I’ve travelled all over and Toronto has by far the worst women I’ve ever met. I’m not even a fedora-tipping “nice guy” faggot, I mostly love women. I just hate the awful bitches here.

>>13115029
>>13115084
Most white Toronto girls are absolute dogshit. The Chinese girls here arent too bad and if you're into it, then the whitewashed ones are just better than actually white girls here.

What are girls like in Barcelona?

>>13114578
Kek
>>13114497
Tres nuit is awesome, I got it last week. Fresh spicy showergel smell similar to Axe Apollo. I haven't had Tres Nuit long enough to gauge compliments but when I used to have the Axe Apollo deodorant stick some girl said i smelled like a very expensive cologne she knew. So maybe she thought I was wearing GIT lol

>>13115086
I have to disagree. I find most of the Asian girls here to be incredibly materialistic and boring. They’re basically all the same girl.

Just my experience.

>>13114665
Depends how drunk the other person is. It's a good convo starter if they compliment the smell at least.

anyone think tom ford's vanilla fatale smells a bit too feminine of a smell for men?? i love the smell so much though.

Hey guys I have an opportunity to trade Man In Black for Bvlgari Aqva. The fresh frags I have are Versace Pour Homme, Man Eau Fraiche, Allure Homme Sport, and Nautica Voyage. The first 3 are pretty similar and I'm looking for something new for warm weather. Is Aqva different enough to add something new and different to my collection?

>>13114665
It will help you if your opposite likes you. It will do nothing for you if they don't

Is Armaf Club De Nuit Intense for woman really have the same feeling or tone of TF Noir de Noir, or it's just a bad chemical copycat roughly resembling NdN but doesn't have the charm of NdN?

>>13115526
I like it, the only armaf I like. Though I really had to let it air out a bit. At first the rose was so overpowering I couldn't smell anything else and it felt like some bugspray.

>>13115832
What do you mean 'air out a bit'? I really like the dry down but I agree the rose is very heavy at the start. How much do you spray? I went OP the other night at drinks with 5 sprays and I could smell myself all night

Love AHS, thought I would love AHSEE even more but I guess I don't like Tonka. Geir Ness is said to be similar to AHSEE but no Tonka is listed, any insight?

>>13114755
this shit only lasted an hour for me. I have one of the other ones that lasts a few hours but I don't like it quite as much.

>>13115086
The girls in Barcelona are great. I'm actually still dating my Toronto gf who is Serbian and far far far from the basicness of other Toronto girls.

But ya to stay on topic. Last weekend I went skiing with my gf actually we went to St. Moritz. Anyway I brought Spicebomb Extreme with me and Valentino Uomo Intense. And my gf couldn't stop telling me how good I smell. Also had 4 other compliments in the span of 2-3 days (3 from girls, 1 from a guy).

Europeans are much more open when it comes to this stuff. So ya don't listen to those 2 depressed Toronto cases in that video and keep buying and enjoying frags.

Decided to pull the trigger and buy it before they run out of stock like they always do.

>>13116022
I mean that after I used like 10ml the scent changed and the overpowering rose turned down tremendously and I actually got the other notes from the beginning till drydown. Maybe it's broscience or just my nose got used to rose but you hear other people say scents change after a while.

To what occasion would you guys wear Tom Ford Oud Wood

>>13116191
When I feel like wearing TF Oud Wood. Unironically

>>13116192
Good one. I mean it's pretty dressy wouldn't you say? I want to buy it but I feel like I'd only use it for dressy nights out type a thing. Which is fine. Buy just wondering if you guys ever rock it more casual.

>>13116200

I only use it for nights out

>>13116200
My advice isn't going to do you any good then because I'd genuinely wear "dressy" frags like that casually, whenever I feel like it. I like smelling good for myself throughout the day though, maybe that's just me.

>>13116255
Plus, if i get compliments it's a happy bonus. Who cares if people privately think it's too dressy etc?

>1. What's your most recent purchase?

Pic related for me. It's amazing.

>2. What's going to be your next purchase?

Probably Viktor &Rolf Spicebomb Extreme

>3. How many frags do you have right now?

Only about 30. Would take a pic of them all but they aren't all with me rn.

>>13116404
>1. What's your most recent purchase?
Pic related for me. It's amazing.

>2. What's going to be your next purchase?
Parfums de Marly Oajan

>3. How many frags do you have right now?
3

>>13116404
1. Technically 4160 Tuesdays Dark Heart of Old Havana and Centrepiece, but they haven’t come yet, so Eau My Soul. Love it, been wearing it almost every day since I got it, which is unusual for me. Just such a comforting, relaxing scent.

2. Dunno yet. Still have two bottles in the mail, so my next purchase will be a ways off. Got some samples of some more 4160 Tuesdays scents, a couple Slumberhouse scents, Rock Rose, and Shihan coming too. I’ll see if there’s anything in there I like enough to purchase.

3. Also sitting at around 30 right now, but it’s mostly expensive/niche stuff. Creed, Amouage, Roja, Xerjoff, Kilian, etc. I don’t buy bottles that often, usually a big purchase every few months.

So I think I've found out why some people have shitty longevity with WW, probably because of how you store the bottle.

I was losing longevity with it (was getting average of 2hrs) and I thought maybe because I store it lying down due to the shape of the bottle. Recently I tried storing it straight upward and it went back to 8hrs longevity.

Also using moisturizer before spraying helps.

All this might just be broscience but hey, it works for me.

>>13116404
>tfw spicebomb extreme is near impossible to find in canada
>don't want to resort to ebay because jews

What do you guys think of Bottega Veneta Pour Homme? Is it suitable for spring?

>>13116200
I think it's real easy to get caught up in the whole specific occasion thing. I did that when I relied on fragranctica to tell me all about frags, but just because it's a night time or a formal fragrance doesn't necessarily mean you can't wear thongs whenever. I think the only thing you need is confidence. I really only adhere to the warm vs cold weather thing. That being said, there are fragrances that I still don't wear casually OFTEN for those occasion associations, but I think as long as you just keep those high projecting frags to two spritz then you won't really run into a problem.

>>13116517
I mean maybe, I just used a decant of it though so idk if that's it

what's yalls favorite drag under 25?
just curious, as a poorfag

>>13116566
Rasasi Dareej

>>13116404
>1. What's your most recent purchase?
Pic related is technically my newest bottle, though I also recently copped Zegna Javanese Patchouli which is very pleasing.

>2. What's going to be your next purchase?
Probably going to order Peruvian Ambrette and/or Haitian Vetiver from the Zegna niche line. Also looking at M7 Oud as it's available for under $40 on fragnet.

>3. How many frags do you have right now?
About 175 now.

L'eau Par Kenzo PH seems to be a soft, Japanese scent that would suit me in the summer.
I worry though given on fragrantica its listed as more green than floral, the lotus flower and yuzu combo in L'eau D'Issey is something I already have and that suits me just fine... But I love how soft lotus is on me, adding depth to the citrus

>>13113719
Why is this considered a good fragrance? It smells like a cleaner Irish Spring which still makes it smell like Irish Spring.

>>13116620
It was extremely revolutionary when it came out because it added feminine notes to a masculine fragance, its a great combination of freshness and sweetness and it smells great after 2-3h

>>13116566
DHS 2012 but I am not sure you can get it at that price anymore. I will say Zara 9.0 and Zara frags in general.

For me it's Joop Black Prince and Gucci Guilty atm

>>13116770

I also have SAUVAGE ;)

>>13116953
Never heard of Sauvage. Is it like that new Johnny Depp Sausage fragrance?

>>13116975
Yes, it is the one Johnny Depp sponsors. I sprayed it twice on my neck yesterday and got laid with a 10/10

>>13117070
Last week, I bought a bottle of Sauvage, and when I was walking home, I dropped it and it broke. All the women on the street immediately got naked and shit and one of them let me touch her boob!

>>13114759
you dun goofed nigguh

>>13116620
bought this way back in the 90s then had a revival of it a few months back, as time goes on you forget smells fall out of favour, this doesnt..constant compliments, some not even knowing what it is (granted their ditzy 20 somethings in the office). a solid everydayer..and a good choice for evening.

>>13116566
joop go, or tommy hilfiger (original)

>>13116421
whats ultra male like in comparison to original le male?

>>13117255
Sweetermans than ultra male thanks to the introduction of plum.

Ultra male > le male for me in the winter. It's very sweet and dirty.

>>13117255
Ultra Male smells like Aquolina Pink Sugar. Plz don't fall for the meme, test it side by side with Pink Sugar for yourself.

>>13115208
Why do you care so much?
Some guys are fine even with fucking Black Orchid.

>>13117620
u right

Did Dior make Sauvage with Jeremy in mind?

>>13117658
Absolutely they did. Just like Creed made GIT for Cary Grant.

>>13117692
Does creed expect anyone to believe that?

>>13117692
Was Cary Grant an entrepreneur?

Is it time for Chanel to release a new fragrance? What are they waiting for?

>>13117727
someone on basenotes claims BdC Instense is coming soon

>I was at my local Saks Fifth Avenue store tonight smelling around. Near the Chanel counter was probably 10 or so reps and they were huddled together talking about something. A lovely lady came over and asked if I needed anything. I said no; that I was just browsing around. I then asked her if Chanel was planning to release anything new and she said "in fact, yes we are." She then went on and said they'll be releasing a new version of Bleu in a couple of months. Apparently the new scent will be called Intense. She said it smells a bit more citrusy but also very smooth with ylang-ylang in it. She said it's different from the EDT and EDP and that she really liked it a lot.

>>13117726
No, entrepreneurs don’t wear stuffy old man scents like GIT. They wear confident, sophisticated scents like Eros and Invictus.

>>13117764
Fuck thanks for the heads up. I was about to wear GIT to a board meeting but now I know to wear club frags instead. I could've been fired!

>>13114359
>to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Roja Parfums® Enigma™. The scent is extremely avant-garde, and without a solid grasp of theoretical, quantum perfumery, most of the notes will go over a typical slave's head.

>>13114755
Cary a mini with you? I've done that before

>>13117255
Ignore the troll, Ultra male is very similar to Le Male except in the opening, which is extremely sweet, you have a great pear note. Then you´ll notice Cinnammon and Vanilla

>>13117967
That's what /frag/ is for, bro.

Remember, the louder the club fragrance, the higher up the corporate ladder you go. The senior partners and associates at my firm all wear super classy Invictus and Eros; the chair of the board when he comes in wafts sophisticated 1million.

Anyone have any experiance with Franguence dot net? Is that legit?

Is it possible you get permanently anosmic to a cetain note? I feel like I can't smell rose anymore on any fragrance I try. I used to get repulsed by strong rose fragrances because it overpowered everything but now I dont smell any if I try those again.

Got a few Amouage samples. Tried Lyric right now, suprisingly one of the few citrus frags I actually like. I got a reaallly faint hint of rose for like 10 seconds then gone nothing. This reminds me a bit of Xerjoff Nio.

>>13118404
Yeah, its legit. Just don't try to return anything and wait at least a week before freaking out that your product isn't there yet. Also they may or may not send you a tester or an older product.

>>13118408
Im not sure when it comes to a certain note but I can say it for an actual cologne. I have been wearing gio for years and I honestly can't even smell it any more.

>>13117744
Okay I'll wait for that then. Hopefully it blows Sauvage out the water.

I'm thinking of putting together an outfit that's kinda basic, yet cosy, turtleneck over a t-shirt that's hanging out the bottom slightly, cord trousers, neutral socks and 574's.
I was considering something earthy like Encre Noire but looking at reviews I think it may be a tad extreme?

>>13118489
Sample it if you can. Tbh it's a pretty dark fragrance. Many people think it's too powerful. I'm not one of those people. But I can see why so many people dislike it.

>>13117727
>Naïvely hoping for Olivier to do something half decent when actually Chanel is doing everything in its power just trying to release it's own version of Sauvage Mk. II and cash it in

>>13118404
I don't get why you wouldn't go with walmart if it's a $4 difference and you were worried about legitimacy

>>13118513
Let a man hope pls.

My collection as of right now

>>13118553
how do you like grey vetiver?

>>13118553
lots of money

>>13118553
>New York Nights
How is it?

>>13118575
It's amazing. One of my fave vetiver notes in a fragrance!

>>13118589
I'm decently well off but not super rich.

It's very good. But probably use it the least of all my fragrances. It leans female IMHO.

>>13118553
>half the bottles are empty

Good job. Also spending so much on Clive? Literally why. Not even Jeremy does that shit.

>>13118553
how does jv fit in with those other frags? lol

>>13118641
Not him; and I agree. I've given it so many tries but Clive Christian fragrances just seem so mediocre to me. And that has nothing even to do with the classy slogan "The World's Most Expensive Perfume"

>>13118641
also this...seems like he just spent money on what is expensive and thought "well this ought to smell nice!" poor taste

>>13118641
Jeremy doesn't have Clive because CC doesn't send him free bottles like Dior does.

>>13118646
Just like it

>>13118653
>>13118655
Not true. I go through my fragrances pretty fast and let my friends and family spray some on themselves if they want to every time they are over to my place. I actually have been into fragrances since I was about 10 (my father used to and still does have a collextion of over 200 fragrances so did my grandfather). The passion runs in my family.

CC number one has the best iris/rose/ylang-ylang note of any fragrance. The fragrance is much more than a fragrance. It's art. Picture a king in his palace. This is what he smells like.

>>13118575
>>13118632
Im gonna go grab a sample right now. Do you wear it much in the winter?

>>13118665
>£450 got a 50 ml bottle of some woody and floral notes

I've sampled it and ya it's good but not £450 good. Reflection man by amouage for example is much much better.

>>13118695
And Dior Homme Intense is just as good if not better than CC number one. So you're not fooling anyone.

Are all new yorkers this stupid?

what perfume would you recommend to a young woman, /fa/? What would you like your gf to smell like?

Sauvage is a cloying, piercing, synthetic, chemical mess that smells like bubblegum. Sure is mass appealing, though.

>>13118934
to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Sauvage. The scent is extremely avant-garde, and without a solid grasp of theoretical perfumery, most of the notes will go over a typical wearer's head.

>pic related

The one and only, the rest of this thread is garbage.

Out of Burberry London, The One EDP and La Nuit, which is the most versatile as a casual and evening out scent? I love La Nuit, even more so I get decent sillage and longevity out of what I've tried, but fears of weaker juice has stopped me buying a bottle. That and I don't know if its suited for spring days or nights..

>>13119546
All are good choices. But I'd go with La Nuit

>>13118815
you are saying this shit on a fashion board dude. everybody here does that shit in some way or another.

>>13118553
That's over $6k in frags...

Yeah well fuck me I'm already done with my golems.

>>13118489
if you get it dont sniff it a lot. mine just came today and i sniffed it too much in the first 10 min and now feels kind of cloying.

>>13119546
La nuit performs better than the others so my choice.

London is a damn fine purchase though. At 20bucks it's worth the buy

This smells strikingly similar to rocky mountain he wood. Seems a little deeper and more sophisticated maybe.
The EDT is rapidly disappearing on my skin after just 30 minutes, but the EDP is doing alright.
I will have to test RMHW side by side to truly compare scent and performance, but hell, that might be a clone at half the price.

been posting above, but my current signature is Wonderwood and I'm looking for a summer alternative, hit me with some more recs

Nope, thanks.
I have tried Hinoki, and I really liked it in all its band-aidy glory, but I dont think I could wear it in public. Is sugi pretty wearable?

Best daytime, all year designer frag? Looking for something nice and accessible to employ as my daily driver basically.

I want to smell like Dio from JBA, very much like an egyptian tomb, anyone have any recommendations?

>>13120073
S A U V A G E

srsly. I got it before it became a meme here and the shit really works despite what autisms here say about it being too popular or chemical/synthetic.

>>13120093
Gotta be honest, I tried it once and I sort of agree with the synthetic bit. I don't hate it nor decry anyone using it but it doesn't work on me, just comes off wrong on my skin

Thoughts? Just got a sample.

>>13118932
I like more serious, composed fragrances that would go well with a successfull woman like Tom Ford velvet orchid lumiere

>>13120073
>>13120127
For me, its Bleu de Chanel.

>>13120302
EdT or EdP?

>>13120325
Different anon here, own bottles of both. EDT and it's not even close.

>>13120188
you tell us

I know the difference, but what's the way to go if you can only choose one: parfum or toilette?

>>13120797
Most of the time they are two completely different scents (only exception to this I've smelled firsthand is The One; EDT and EDP smell almost identical). Outside of a few cases it's more complicated than just long longevity. You're better off smelling them both and seeing which you like better.

>>13120079
Jubilation 25

>>13120079
Djedi, no other answer

What would James Bond wear?

>>13120908
Also, I think you meant to say Jubilation XXV. I only recently found out Jubilation 25 specifically refers to the women's version which smells awful- a loud, powdery, cloying tropical mess with lots of cumin and cardamom. Absolutely terrible compared to the men's.

>>13120953
Invasion Barbare is the obvious answer

Godolphin or Tuscan Leather? Or just buy both because fuck it?

>>13120960
i just bought both
idk why i even asked

>>13120955
Ah yes didn't know that,I meant the mens version.

>>13120020
sugi is definitely wearable

Prada L'homme or YSL L'homme? I want to pick one of those.

I really like cdg evergreen but the reviews always describe it as generic. Anybody know any other fragrances like it?

>>13121096
i like prada l'homme better

have both

>>13114421
i have the same versace one, good taste

>>13115330
Is this considered a good fragrance? Smells too much like off duty shit to me (hyoermasculine ass smell). Roommate left a bottle on moving out and I use it as a burner fragrance when where I'm going isn't worth a dece fragrance

This is the kind of cologne u wear to a club when ur rich normie friend invites u to bottle service at tchami

>>13120953
I was just about to ask what Sterling Archer would wear.

>>13120953
Aventus

>>13121235
Armani Code

Money is tight but I'd prefer to spend money on a bottle rather than a sample, since the price per ml is lower. Would cheapies like Ferragamo F Black and Mercedes Benz for Men be reasonable alternatives to La Nuit and Rocky Mountain Wood respectively?

>>13118553
Tell me about John Varvatos Vintage.

>>13120958
this along with any other good barbershop: 1725 casanova, rive gauche, masculin pluriel, etc.

>>13121096
Personally like the scent of YSL L'Homme better. The performance on the Prada is better though, but I just get sick of that sweet iris pretty quickly.

I use pic related becouse they were gifted to me. How are they? I can't really put them on the chart.

>>13118515
This is why. See anything odd in this picture? I definitely do... This is a screenshot from that same link.

>>13121235

>>13121389
Isn't Rocky mountain already a cheapie? See if you can find Encre noire sport for less money, it has a similar vibe going on and is generally praised.

>>13120797
In my general experience, a parfum lasts longer while an EdT projects more and the notes open up more. This is a REALLY loose rule though as what the other anon said is spot on.

But with hanae Mori for example, this is 100 percent true.

>>13121100
Generic is a huge buzzword honestly. People like to throw it around because it makes them seem more educated, but it's really vague.

Asking for the third time now. What are your opinions on Bottega Veneta Pour Homme?

What the fuck is going on? All server/gateways in the pacific seems fucked.

>>13122123
I guess we have none. I think Jeremy might have talked about it once and did his ALPHA MALE BLACK SHIRT JAY SON STATE HAM spiel.

>>13118932
I've bought my girlfriend Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue and Chanel Coco Mamesoille, love both of them.

D&G Light Blue is the best fresh frag I've ever smelt men or women's and Coco imo is the best mix of professional but still sweet and feminine I've found.

Also keen to try out Thierry Mugler Aura which I've heard great things about

>>13122123

Is Prada L'homme Intense blind-buy worthy if I love the original?

>>13122926
>Eros but not Invictus

2/10, would not approve for a loan to start his own business

>>13122926
I fell asleep reading that list

Explain to me how you guys like this shit? It's smells worse than Axe.

>>13122999
It's good but it's very heavy so I wouldn't recommend it for a blind buy

>>13122999

I'd try it in a store or get a sampler first. I got a sampler and liked it more than the original after giving it a proper test wear so got it, a lot of people prefer the original though and aren't too big on Intense so it's not really a blind buy.

>>13123225

It's all about the dry down. The initial scent is a bit like axe or a BdC/Sauvage imitation but it wears down into something much nicer and smoother. Performs much better than you'd expect too for this type of frag. I don't get the hate for it really, I've yet to meet anyone that doesn't like the scent of it.

What's the best fragrance a 20-30yo white collar young man can wear?

I like to simplify so only one fragrance for every occasion (office, dinner parties, hanging out, etc.) Nothing too extravagant. Looking at you creed.

>>13123654

Normie-tier - Chanel BdC, Prada L'Homme, Dunhill Icon Racing

Informed-tier - TF Oud Wood, Armaf Tres Nuit, MDCI Invasion Babare

Patrician-tier - Clive Christian 1872, Creed Aventus, Amouage Reflection Man

>>13123654
l'homme de coeur by divine. it's perfect for everyday wearing and still remains distinctive. idk how to explain, just try a sample. i fucking love this perfume

>>13122926
>oud minerale but no oud wood

Y tho?

>>13123654
Aventus is the best scent for everything for a young man. It comes at a price but it’s worth it IMO. If you’re only going to have one fragrance for everything, Aventus has few competitors.

>>13123822
OM > OW

>>13123878
How so

>>13123582
The dry down is nothing special. I just don't get it.

Opinions on this?

The question of deodorant is posted in here a lot, but what about soap?

Currently I use Dial antibacterial because it gets rid of/ prevents BO. It just smells like generic soap.

I would like something with antibacterial properties, but also fragrance free. Im thinking a charcoal soap, but most have some essential oil or something. What does /frag/ use?

>>13123916
Need a high fragrance iq to be able to fully understand and enjoy Fahrenheit

Anyone know of a more patrish version of Kenneth Cole Vintage Black?

>>13123987
If the scent of Dial soap interferes with your post shower fragrance, you need some stronger fragrance.

Dial is just fine. It's what I use, for the same reasons you gave.

>>13119024
You lick that shit and smother it on your neck and clothes.

>>13124055
Was about to reply with basically the same advice.

I have dove soap for men and it's pretty strong but wears off pretty quickly. But either way when I spray some TF Oud Wood after or Spicebomb Extreme etc. The soap has no effects anymore.

What do you think about Dior intense

>>13124055
>>13124074
Word. Not that it interferes, just wondering if there was something better out there. Might try the charcoal just because its supposed to help with skin impurities.

>>13123830
I'm not gonna drop $300+ for a cologne

>>13124273
Then you have already lost

>>13116153
Negro I think it's cheaper if you went to a dept store. I only paid like 90 for mine.

>>13120333
This. I don't know why most people go for edp. It was a no brainer when I bought it.

>>13123830
Here's the real question. GIT or Aventus? Which one and why?

>>13124386
GIT.

Aventus does not do it for me and I don't get the fascination with it.

>>13124386
Aventus, because it’s not a stuffy old man scent for fossils like Cary Grant.

>>13124400
Sure thing Cary Grant, we'll buy all your old man ballsweat.

>>13124186
DHI? Love it, can't comment on the post 2015 bottles

>>13124705
and you came to that conclusion with a sample size of what? 2?

>>13123711
>>13120958

whats so good about invasion barbare? i have a sample here but im new to fragrances. i dont have the impression its a good fit for a young man

Only the Brave or Boss The Scent?
Can't afford TL so I want a reasonably priced leather scent since my bottle of Burberry Brit Rhythm Intense is so so and its not a scent I prefer to wear...

Is this the most /terrorwave/ fragrance?

>>13124386
GIT is a more interesting scent imo. Aventus had quality control problems and has better clones.

>>13124462
(You)

Has anyone ever tried viking? I tried it out today and it smells GOOOD. I really like it but would never pay 500 dollars for a bottle. Anyone else know anything that smells similar to it?

>>13125029
Haven’t been able to sample it yet. From the notes, seems like something I’d love, though. Won’t buy it until it hits the grey market sites in like 6 months or so.

>>13124873
I think Interlude Man has it beat

whatever happened to samplesperg?

There was a fly on my wall and I sprayed it with Sauvage, it flew away. Little dude’s gonna get so much fly pussy.

>>13123822

Probably one of my next purchases, I just really like how different OM is compared to typical oud or aquatic frags and how well it lasts and projects on me. Regretted buying NdN (liked the tester in store, tried it on me and still liked it, but went off it quickly after a few wears) and will probably swap it soon for a couple of cheaper ones or my cousin's Tuscan Leather.

>>13125043
You trust those places with something you'll probably drop 300 on?

>>13125272
Yup. I use fragrancebuy all the time. Bought Creeds, Amouage, Xerjoff, etc. there. Everything’s been 100% legit. Site’s legit according to basenotes and fragrantica as well. That’s good enough for me.

just bought some sauvage for my first fragrance. did I fuck it up lads?

>>13125314
No, but you did by posting about it here.

>>13125314
You know you did. No one can feel more disappointed than you yourself.

Is anyone a fan of Areej le Dore or is that too niche for this Victorian sewing board?
Anyone ever buy his releases? What about his new ones released this week?

>>13119104
smells like green/ozonic air freshener, works better as a room spray than fragrance in my opinion but I unironically love the box and bottle

>>13126253
I have no idea what this smells like, and I'm not the type who cares about bottles at all (most of my collection is in decants and splits) but I gotta agree with you. It's endearingly retro and the glass colour looks so enchanting.

What I'd do to get the packaging and have Pin Mystique by N-Cigale in there.

Anyone tried molecule 01 copies? Apparently the chemical they use is readily available and there's a bunch out there being sold for like $20-50 for a 100ml bottle

>>13126370
Yes. It's ISO E Super and Molecule 1 is made of a molecule very similar (although allegedly not identical) to it.

Yes, it is, as all synthetic aroma molecules, very very cheap in comparison to a finished perfume product. It's identical to my nose. If you don't care about the packaging and name, then go grab yourself a flacon of ISO E Super.

Personally, I don't like it enough to warrant buying either. A lot of people are anosmiac to the said AM, and I think I must be too. It barely smells like anything on my skin, and if I get real close to it (1/2 inch away) all I smell is pencil shavings/cedar wood.

But still, I've heard some people go mad over it, so go ahead and grab yourself some inexpensive ISO E Super.

http://www.basenotes.net/threads/267992-Iso-E-Super-and-Molecule-01

There's some really helpful information about blending the AM into a carrier oil.

If you're really interested in how exactly different/similar Molecule 01 is from the AM, this is from Scent & Chemistry's Facebook:

"...apparently it is official now that 'Molecule01' is not 'Iso E Super' (6.85/6) but in fact 'Iso Gamma Super' (6.120, cf. S&C p. 207–214), though the ad says 'Iso E Super Gamma'. But if you inject in the GC you find only the 'Iso Gamma Super' isomers in 'Molecule01' and a bit of DPG, and that explains why those who simply diluted 'Iso E Super' to make their own 'Molecule01' did not get the same smell, and were consequently disappointed. 'Iso E Super Gamma' had been captive with IFF for quite a while, and thus it was strange that it appeared in the first launches of Ormonde Jayne that were allegedly exclusively composed by Linda Pilkington."

Basically it's just a different isomer/brand name but desu I think it smells literally the same. Sorry for the wall of text. Pic not related.

>>13126370
I have some of the Molecule copies sold on ebay (01, 02, 03). They serve the purpose of teaching you what pure Iso E Super, Ambroxan, and Vetiveryl Acetate smell like, while saving you a lot of money as compared to the Escentric Molecules bottles. I'm not sure that I'd use the Molecule 01 clone extensively due to my own paranoia regarding Iso E toxicity. The seller I bought from advertised that he used twice as much Iso E as in the official Molecule 01.

>>13126397
>>13126370
I just re read your post and completely missed out the fact that you were talking about a ready made imitation blend.

I'd say go for it, since as said, the AM is easily and cheaply availably hence I'd be pretty confident of the imitations being spot-on identical.

>>13126397
Interesting, I guess it's worth a try at least and if I really like it maybe even a sample of molecule 01 to see if there's any difference to me

>>13126398
Read a bit about that, I'm also paranoid so I might just apply lightly and not do the 30 spray thing.

I think it will also be interesting to see if it helps me identify things better, I love fragrances but am sometimes amazed at how easily some people pick out the notes and can even tell the difference between certain similar fragrances
