i have samples of ambre sultan by lutens and casbah by piguet from "first in fragrance". i really like them so last week i ordered full bottles from notino because the prices were lower.

with 3 sprays from the bottles they both turn into skin scent after like 2 hours and the smell is completely gone after 5 hours. with 2 sprays from the samples i get a much better projection and i can still smell them after 12 hours. really makes you think

what are creeds best fragrances for men besides aventus?

Third for can't wait to buy Sauvage EDP.

>>13161414
FOUND THE SHEEP!

Creed is a bunch of Jews who lie about their history! If you buy their products, it’s because you’re an idiot who believes their bullshit marketing and everyone will look down their noses at you! It couldn’t possibly be that you just like their scents and don’t care about that shit!

...seriously, though, I love MI and Royal Water. VIW is nice too, but I do think it’s a bit simplistic for the price. Smells kinda like something your girlfriend would buy and Bath and Body Works or something. If you can get it cheap, though, it’s nice.

WTF I love CDNIM now

>>13161414
Royal Oud is a pretty great woody-fresh daytime fragrance. I also really enjoy Original Vetiver, which is frequently overlooked or dismissed as a soapy Mugler Cologne derivative. OV has an herbal, grassy depth to its heart and base that sets it apart from others in the same category.

Not a fan of Millesime Imperial, though I own a bottle. I find its muskiness cloying for warm weather and don't think to reach for it on mild days.

Just ordered Bois du Portugal as it's been discontinued. We'll see how that one works out.

What are some good office-tier scents? Something that makes you smell clean, competent, professional and confident. All the stuff being released now are clubbing stuff or makes you smell like want2fuk too much.

>>13161698
From what I've smelled, I'd say
>Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver
>Prada's L'homme
And I'm not sure if it's totally an office scent, but Creed's Royal Mayfair is a pleasant clean smell in my opinion.

>>13161698
Eros and Invictus of course

>>13161698
Boss Bottled Intense EdP

>>13161730
>Prada's L'homme
>Something that makes you smell clean
It doesn't get much cleaner than pure soap

Any opinions on Dior Sauvage?

>>13161853
you´ll get pussy

Just added these two to my winter rotation. I wanted a really solid performer so I bought pure malt, and then encre noire extreme was just to add some variety to my winter rotation, but wonderwood didn't really "do" it for me. For the most part, I have everything I really want. I think the last few things I really want to cop are Dior Homme intense, that clone of La Nuit when it goes on sale, and maybe Rocky Mountain Wood.

Currently, winter rotation consists of individuel, Hanae Mori HiM and HM, Burberry Brit and London, CK One Shock, and sometimes D&G Pour Homme. Pretty content with my current rotation though, so I might just chill for a while and get ready for the warmer weather.

>>13161853
I like it. seems a bit on subtle side.
t. sauvage user.

>>13161853
If you are looking for a daily wear scent in the Sauvage family, try Bvlgari Aqva Atlantique. Its ambroxan is accompanied by marine notes rather than pepper. I find it to be much more versatile and less choking than Sauvage, and you can cop it for half the price online.

>>13161506
Im actually liking this scent. Am I a pleb? I dont care I like it.

>>13161853
I just bought Sauvage and I can tell you this right now, I assumed the hype was a meme but goddamn does that fragrance make me smell like a man and a sexy one at that.

Call me a peasant but i love armani black code

Do plastic or "frosted glass" atomisers leak easily? My samples from thefragrancebear on eBay that are in glass atomisers hold juice fine but my Armani code sample that came in a plastic atomiser feels like its losing liquid, I'm definite I haven't used it enough to empty half of the sample....

>>13162167
Pretty stupid question mate, you should be smart enough to tell if it's leaking or not.

Man why do my Fahrenheit smells bad now? It was great when I first bought it. Has it gone bad? I've made sure I stored it away from heat and light.

>>13162209
Celsius is better

>>13162209
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.

FTFY

Got this because a friend recommended it to me. My sense of smell sucks but to me it just smells like any safe, standard cologne. Did I get memed?

>>13162552
Forgot pic

>>13162552
>>13162555
Is your friend Indian? Persian? Pakistani? Help me out here.

>>13162561
She's white

>>13162565
I uh... I don’t understand. It’s a she, she’s not a greasy Pajeet, and she likes 1 Million? Is she 15?

>>13162555
1 Million was basically THE clubbing scent a few years back, nowadays, it’s basically associated with disgusting brown people who wear way too much of it.

>>13162567
She's 22, and she quote, "can't control herself" when she smells it. She's a pleb with a lotta shit just like most of my friends, so I'm not too surprised it's shit.
>>13162580
rec me some shit in the same price range that's better, I'll get that next time.

>>13162555

Well if you want a safe, standard cologne then this is the polar opposite of it. Everytime some middle eastern looking guy with too much cologne on is walking by it is this fragrance.

If you want a office scent, try (always try on skin first) Bleu de Chanel, Prada L'Homme, D&G The One (doesn't last that long though) and get a own sense of smell.

>>13162589
thanks man. All the wiki has on perfume is terms and a link to cbihateperfume.com

>>13162597

Sure, thing is that when you are new to fragrances you want to stock up on lot's of scents and buy the biggest bottles which doesn't always work out because after a few uses you might not like the scent anymore. Be criticial and take your time because scents last years if you have a few of them.

>>13162209
Sounds like it's been reformulated, that's the answer any time a frag seems different right?

>>13162607
This.

I’d take a trip down to a Sephora, ask for some help, and grab a few samples. Give you an idea of what you like.

Okay, I'll concede- Sauvage dries down to something decently pleasant that I can definitely see being "sexy" to women. I couldn't stand waiting for it to dry down to that though.

>>13162883
Whom are you talking to?

>>13161997
Has anyone other than you told you that?

>tfw immediately ordered 3 backup bottles of pic related after first wear
My happiest blind buy ever. It's an Eighties fougere with an emphasis on my very favorite note, patchouli. Patched out gold Dial soap on steroids. So nice.

>>13162896
Do you want to be spoken to?

>>13161402
I have decants of both of these. Ambre Sultan, I'll have to check but I don't remember longevity being very low on that one.

Casbah though, on me, is a projection beast and lasts a good 8 hours on me. After a first few trials, I vowed to apply it very carefully on myself. It's an overall very potent fragrance- odd that you found longevity very low on it.

>>13161466
>being this insecure you have to call out yourself first

>>13161698
Again another question asked x10 every thread, no exaggeration.

Wtf dude, get your priorities straight. Definitely does not warrant the price

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!!!

I was gonna cop a bottle of Rock Rose, now fragnet is sold out and fragrancebuy is suddenly carrying basically every Clive Christian scent EXCEPT Rock Rose.

I really don’t want to pay like 800.00 for this shit.

wtf I love Eros now

>>13163258
they'll restock rock rose, surely. also ill message fragrancebuy as to why they dont have rock rose

man this general sure has gone to shit

>>13163258
also please stop hyping rock rose i dont want those plebs getting an interest in it

>>13161947
this smells fucking awful compared to sauvage. it smells like the ocean in the worst way

this is why you don't buy niche from fragrance discounters.

What are the best RECENT and MODERN colognes /fg/?

Talking about colognes released from 2015 and beyond. Old colognes just don't cut it anymore.

>>13163191
Sounds like it's been reformulated...

Why coordinate your fragrances with the season when most time in summer is spent in AC and most time in winter is spent in front of a heater?

Opinions on desert rose and it's performance? Tried it in-store the other day and was blown away, amazing frag. Though I'm not sure if it's too feminine or not

>>13163439
Because you wouldn't wear a summer frag if you were going to sit in the air con all day and winter frags the same if you are immediately going to a warm heated room.

>>13163411
>reformulated

sous le toit de paris is the best atelier cologne frag

is it true that wearing perfume is not good for your health?
i want to smell nice but i dont want to harm my body :/

Going bowling with workmates start of March, would Invictus be a good choice? Or should I be reserved with a couple sprays of Body Kouros or Individuel?

>>13163961
Stop being such a pussy, everything you do is bad for your health in some way.

>>13162583
Holy shit, my ex said the same thing about this. Now I'm looking for the notes that make this possible, but I can't make her smell it again so I don't know. Is that the patchouli? Help

Interlude Man unironically smells fantastic as long as you don't apply more than 1 spray

I'm curious, what frag would you guys pick as a permanent skin scent?
I'd probably go for YSL L'homme or Pure Tonka

>>13162580
lmao knew a pajeet who was DYING to buy this

>>13164641
Mont Blanc Individuel is clean, inoffensive and you can wear it year round. You can find it on Notino for about $22 + shipping.

Are there any Bond fragrances worth checking out? Something more towards spring/summer or even more versatile as long as it's not too heavy?

How do you like Pure Tonka? I freaking love L’Homme. Should I try this frag?

>>13164428
TV, from what I've tried. Shame that it feels like that's all it is.

Picked this up today, thoughts?

>>13165526
Why don't you give us your thoughts? Most of us likely wouldn't have tried it yet.

>>13165526
>>13165683

Well I like it, it's got a nice blast citrus in the opening then is more woody in the drydown. Seems like it would be great for the upcoming hot months here in the southern US. Performance seems decent although it sits pretty close to the skin so I'm able to apply it more liberally.

Just wanted to see if anyone else here had gotten their nose on it.

>>13165526
A bit too sharp and spicy for me. I like the Artisan mainline better.

Is there a site that breaks down frags based on season appropriateness? I've bought a good amount of frags recently but they all seem to be fall/winter scents, and I need to start catching up on spring/summer scents.

>>13165758
>season appropriateness
no such thing. you can wear scents whenever you like. just a meme created by cologne makers to sell more

>>13165758
fragrantica

>>13165758
fragrantica allows people to vote on the season fragrances would be best for, but also >>13165766

Some notes seem to do better in certain weather conditions imo but honestly just wear what you want when you want

Anyone have suggestions on some cheapies that have good longevity?

>>13165944
Anything by Aramis or Jacques Bogart.

Most masculines created by Annick Menardo tend to last long and go for around the $30 - $45 range on the gray market. Hope you like the smell of benzoine.

What does /fg/ think of Guerlain L'Homme Ideal?

Gary from fragrancebuy, on the inclusion of Rock Rose in their inventory:

"We will keep an eye out"

>>13163402
A few of my favorites from the last couple years:
Dior Sauvage
Coach For Men
Acqua di Gio Profumo

Is it true new bottles get better performance after you used a few sprays and let it sit for a week or two?

>>13166243
Who the fuck told you that

>>13166220
>Coach For Men

How do you find this? I tried in on a paper tester and it smelled too sweet like a slightly less obnoxious version of 1 Million

>>13161947
I used to hate this when I first smelled it but now it's growing on me. Definitely an okay alternative to Sauvage.

>>13166370
Pajeet

It's been my experience as well though.

>>13166077
The opening is perfect for me, like slightly more lively ysl lhomme but gets too cloying i the drydown

>>13166077
EDP and Cologne versions are fantastic, the normal one and the Sport flanker, I havent tried them

>>13161299
What are your honest opinions about Bvlgari Man in Black? Thanks in advance

>>13163402
Aventus clones are god tier modern frags imo
club de nuit specifically
I LOVE dylan blue... it IS sort of 'generic' at first but I've really come to love it, would never be without a bottle of it.

>>13165327
I'm not that fond of the initial sugary sweet caramel and tonka blast personally, but the lavender and coffee sweet drydown is amazing

>>13163837

Well in general fragrances as a rule are reformed every 5/6 years, not including IFRA restrictions in between or new executives wanting to cheapen the scent further and increase profit margins. If a fragrance you knew a few years back has less longevity now then it could be memory or the makers decided to change what materials they use for a few base notes (a very common change being the patchouli oil/alcohol/base/fraction), which decreases the evaporation curve. Sometimes after a reform a frag might have more projection or perhaps more longevity for the same reason, like an increase in concentration of molecules like norambrinol, or a new base product that has been manufactured.

>>13166243

Might be due to maceration. Traditionally scent makers would let the concentrate macerate and then dilute it with perfumers alcohol. Most companies these days probably splurge it out so fast that they leave out some time in the maceration process, which is why meme brands like le labour tell you to let it sit for awhile after you buy in their stores. It's related to the modern world of "services and products" laying more responsibilities and making the consumer do their jobs for them in some respects, tl;dr the consumer has to also pay for laziness or gimmicks.

>>13166563
>Aventus clones
which ones? I never heard of an Aventus clone

Dylan Blue smells like rotten orange peels to me. Not very versatile. It feels like a juvenile punk version of Terre Hermes

>>13166437
Maceration in the bottle isa real thing; that's why vintages although having likely lost their top notes, smell a lot better, smoother than normal (that and stronger due to the evaporation of alcohol).
Unless you let it sit for a few months at least (in a dry, dark and stable location), it's most likely a placebo effect though.

Thinking of buying this, whats you guys opinion

>>13166697
If you're a 50 year old businessman. I assume most people are young here and want to appeal to young women. This is a 1974 scent and most scents have distinctive smells from certain eras, (i.e. 80's powerhouses) there are a few classics that stand out though.

Givenchy-wise, I would go for something such as Givenchy pour Homme. IT all depends on what your usage is for though.

>>13166752
Oh shit I had no idea that was that old
I just liked it, I don't like the sweet/club smells, thanks for tips anon

>>13166758
Just head over to fragrantica.com when you find something you like and you can see what date it was released, see what notes are in it, read reviews and similar scents.

Lots of niche fragrances you will see here don't have mass appeal and are not compliment getters. They are for people who simply appreciate perfumery. Honestly, I prefer to have appeal and for people to like the scents.

There are some great ones that appeal to most women but not overused club scents such as carolina herrera ch men.

>>13166082

imagine being these fags

You /pol/fags take the b8 every single time.

Picking a scent for day game this spring(don't care much about ofis). What I have now is Hugo Boss Bottled Intense and Cool Water by Davidoff.
So, HBBI is performing well and has it's spicy notes. Then I just smell bubblegum. The problem is I don't wear suit usually(maybe I should, I'm 26), and this scent is so dominant and even has presidential vibe, casual outfit does not fit very good.
CW is fresh and minty, smell clean and classy, I had complements with this one. The problem is the temperature, it's too low for this scent. Spring is cold and windy where here.
Daytime outdoor scents, go!

>>13166933
own that one.

While I personally like it, some have told me I smell like an old woman with it. Eh.

Can I wear Le Male Terrible in any situation? I love how fresh it is and the slight peppery mid doesn't feel harsh to my nose

>>13166927
Cool water is like Green Irish Tweed, it's definitely suited to spring and cooler weather.

>>13166933
>>13166947
Vetiver is a hit or miss note, it wont appeal to everyone. I dislike the smell a lot.

Woody fragrance for tropical weather?

Already have Wonderwood. Thinking of Encre Noire atm. Thoughts?

>>13166933
Thanks for reminding me to post about this.

Tried this the other day. If I didn't know the price or brand, I'd rec it 100 percent. Great performance and an extremely fresh, barber shoppy frag. This is one of the younger vetiver frags I've smelled. But if I could only buy one creed frag than I'd skip it because it isn't all that unique. I think guerlain vetiver extreme is a similar frag at a much better price. I think the biggest thing this creed frag has going for it is that it is EXTREMELY green. The top and heart remind me of a green Irish tweed with some vet in there. So if that's your thing then I think it's a good buy. Personally though I'll probably just cop vetiver extreme

Oops I'm a dumb mobile poster lol

I really like it. I have a thing for mature women and it reminds of a certain perfume I notice on a lot of women over 45, but it's more masculine of course. Smells very classy and gentlemanly imho.

>>13166697
I hate using this word, but this honestly just smells straight up generic. Like the first few minutes are kinda nice but then it becomes this chemically, cheap mess.

>>13167374
versace pour homme smells great but has terrible longevity. I haven't tried individuel but I might blind buy it with some others from fragrancenet

>>13164363
She's waaaay too pleb to articulate what she likes about it, it probably just smells like her dad.

It’s just a generic “sexy” scent that smells like candy. I doubt it reminds her of her dad, girls just tend to love basic sweet/spicy scents.

I finally, finally got myself a bottle of Invasion Barbare, practically unused (but still not new) for £88. Did I get a good deal? Anyone know if you can get it for cheaper?

>>13166804
Smells like a boss. I wouldn't wear it in the office unless you are head honcho.

>>13167207
Source on 2017 version then? Newer versions of frags are based on the old or it wouldn't be the same frag! They just have to sometimes change a note or 2 as they are no longer used/allowed or have a weaker silage. They would not be a total different fragrance though.

I don't want to sound "pol" but I will anyway. It's funny they say Germany is flooded with migrants and lots of the girls this guy hangs with are non-ethnic German. He must be from Western Germany? Anyhow, most of them are basic thots, he doesn't appear to know classy girls or girls that would be into scents, they just like your regular clubbing scents in most of his videos.

He's a cool guy, just keeps bad company.

>>13168915
I really like it, I think it's more of a date/bar/nightlife scent though as it's pretty sexy and not that suitable for daily classroom wear.

>>13168979
I mean, his channel is really pretty much for people who want “sexy” frags to pull thots anyway. It’s not like he goes in-depth with his reviews, he pretty much just says if it’s sexy and has his thots tell us if they like it. In that regard, I think he accomplishes what he sets out to.

As a result, when they get out into the world on their own, especially in a country that’s not India, they become super awkward with women because they think if they just ask for sex, she’s supposed to give it to them. Hence the bobs and vegana shit.

Indians also tend to be very materialistic, so they think flaunting their wealth will get them laid. That’s why they wear so damn much perfume, they think being able to smell them a block away is a sign of wealth and power.

Original Encre is still solid, even after the change. Extreme is far less dark, though it might not feel that way if you're coming from Sport. I'd say it's the smoothest and most versatile out of the three.

>>13169530
>I'd say it's the smoothest and most versatile out of the three.
The OG or the Extreme?

>>13169533
Extreme. Dunno why the marketing team chose such a misleading name, I'd just call it Encensoir, would have been much more fitting to the scent.

Looking for a smart casual look with button down shirts and chinos/ patterned shorts.
What would be the best frag to go with this? I was thinking maybe ADG Profumo

Thinking of blind buying encre noir

Should I?

>>13169875
Unless you really love the smell of iso E super, no. It's cheap enough to warrant a blind buy for the sake of curiosity, but on the other hand it's a common fragrance in department stores so you can just try it there

>>13169888
i blind bought it and liked it, just an anecdote though.

>>13169888
Why is that note not listed on fragnatica?

>>13169900
Because ISO E is a molecule that’s used to make many different notes. Much like how Ambroxan is often listed as amber or ambergris, and therefore not officially listed in many frags that contain it.

>>13169900
It's a chemical that is mostly responsible for its woody part, it is rarely listed on its own in fragrances, except for rare cases such as Molecule 01.

>>13169912
>>13169917
Interesting.

The reviews seems super appealing to me and I don't think I have anything like it. I can get it for about C$40 so I might just do it.

>>13168881
>>13169049
shit taste

>>13169917
Which frags actually use real ambergris?

>>13169981
Real answer: pretty much none of them in likelihood. Creed and other niche brands say they do, and as far as I am aware there is no proof to the contrary, but the reality is that ambergris is so much more expensive than synthetic replacements like ambroxan that they are almost certainly not doing so. The same goes for most other perfume houses that brag about using other "natural" ingredients. The reality is that the absolutes that are cheap are likely natural, but the absolutes that are extremely expensive (e.g. violet absolute) are almost certainly not. In this way, they are telling a sort of half-truth about their product.

>>13169981
None of the mainstream houses; you'd have to go to places online like Abdeessalaam or Sultan Pasha attars and oils.
>>13169989
Agreed. Also, Creed uses a misleading term, "Creed Ambergris"(TM) which I'll bet my left foot there's not a drop of ambergris tincture in.

>>13169956
no

>>13169989

Violet absolute isn't done on a large scale anymore and the guy that said he used a tiny minuscule amount in his product never told me who does it, just that it was an artisanal distillery.

I saw a price quote somewhere saying if VF absolute was to be made again, it could be anywhere from $10K-500K a kilo, but no-one is sure on the exact number because it just isn't done.

I'd say fragrances that still use the permitted amount of jasmine and rose absolutes are still authentic, but naturally they have to flesh out the few drops they are legally limited at.

>>13168772

2017 version
https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Givenchy/Gentleman-2017--46040.html

So different in fact that the new version has received many complaints about it being too "young", "I miss the old one" and similar whining.

>>13168915
Too sweet and seductive for those environments anon. Look for something fresher and more generally pleasing, like BdC, Sauvage, or YSL L'Homme.

>>13168772
Mostly agreed. Left is hottest of all Jeremy girls, middle actually has her own opinion, but right is neither hot nor has good taste.

>>13170214

I’m thinking about blind buying L’air du desert marocain by Tauer solely based on reviews, the general high rates and the ingredients and smell according to Basenotes and Fragrantica. Do you guys think it’s a good idea or I should actually sample it before buying ?

>>13171950

I'd say get a sample set from his site.

>>13171919
It's a good one to sample, not for everyone. That being said though AMAZING fragrance. I'd love to cop one once I'm financially better off but instead I just copped more cheapies. Winter should be over soon, so id rather just wait

Herod is $110 on Notino right now. I'm wearing a sample and it's nice but it isn't blowing me away. Should I grab a bottle anyway?

>>13172109
The best deal on Notino right now is MFK Oud Satin Mood for $145. Skip Herod.

YSL L'homme or Burberry Brit?

>>13171179
I would probably have bought Sauvage a long time ago but the fact that they have a wife beater like Depp as their spokesperson was a deal breaker. A man should NEVER hit a woman under any circumstances

>>13172601
Yo, stow the fedora for a sec, let me drop a little truth on you. Ok, women are people, same as men. That means, like men, sometimes, they need to be hit. I’ve been in situations where a bitch would keep hitting me, kicking me in the shins, I’d tell her to knock that shit off or I was gonna start hitting back. She’d keep going because girls expect to be able to get away with shit because idiots like you keep telling guys all their lives that hitting a woman is the scummiest thing you can do.

Well, she was wrong, and I don’t feel the least bit bad about it. An asshole is an asshole, man or woman, and sometimes, assholes gotta be checked. If you let an asshole just keep getting away with being an asshole forever, you’re just as bad as they are.

>>13171046

>>13171637
I'll cop the Sauvage from you.

>>13172601

They had Depp on before all that surfaced, there's most likely a contract and they would lose a lot of money so it's silly to expect a faceless profit machine to change that now.

>>13167887
Too powdery on my skin.

>>13172715

Not fucked at all, it's a decent all-round day scent for work and smart casual outfits when you don't want to use something more expensive and don't want a cheap, uninspired option either. It's not ground-breaking, original, 10/10 stuff but it's good at getting the job done without being too generic.

>>13171395

Sure, it's the go to fragrance of bland corporate types and men who wear whatever looks expensive without being too flashy but real entrepreneurs wear Eros and Invictus layered.

You can never go wrong with a heavy application of /fa/ Entrepreneur Extreme EDT

I got a sample of both the EDP and EDT of Grey Vetiver by Tom Ford, upon someones recommendation here.

I've been wearing the EDP and loving it, tried the EDT today and was enjoying it too.

I decided to look up prices because I was about ready to cop a bottle, and then I read a review that described the EDT as smelling like public restroom soap.

It might have ruined it for me.

Im hoping its just the EDT because of the stronger citrus notes, I'll have to try the EDP again to decide.

This ever happen to you? I don't ever wanna read a fragrance review again.

>>13172713
ok how do we proceed
it doesnt come with the box though, bottle only

>>13172839
>public restroom soap
uuhhh... it's clean but public restroom? never smelled anything of the kind there...

ive read reviews that took away the fun from a fragrance. amouage reflection man was described to me as a sandalwood "lush" fragrance. it's still too classy to me to be the shitty synthetic lush stuff.

>>13172839
Well then friendo, let me enlighten you further. Vetiver isn't a mass appealing scent so unless you are just wearing it for yourself, you are unlikely to get women going wild over it and throwing themselves at you.

I don't see why the EDT would have stronger citrus notes? an EDT just contains less of the actual perfume oil than the EDP but the notes are exactly the same. The smell shouldn't really differ, just that with an EDP because it's a higher oil concentrate it takes longer to evaporate from your skin and thus stays there longer.

The best Tom Ford fragrances are those with rose notes in, yes, really. Men stay away from rose notes but they are really seductive. Cafe Rose all the way!

>>13172923
Untrue. EDTs and EDPs often have completely different formulas. Depends on the scent, of course, Roja EDPs and Extraits are the same aside from concentration, for example, but the majority of scents available in multiple concentrations have different notes.

>>13172923
Wrong, usually EDPs will have slightly different notes than their EDT counterparts. From what I've read, the EDT of Grey Vetiver is more citrusy than the EDP in the opening. You're right about Grey Vetiver not being an appealing fragrance to women though. I feel men gravitate to it more.

>>13172981
>>13172985
Expand on the different notes pls.

Cologne, aftershave, edt and edp is usually based on the percentage of oil. Any articles?

>>13172988
Go look up almost any designer scent on fragrantica that has both an EDT and EDP version. Look at the notes. There will be differences.

They are concentrations, yes, but designers don’t typically just release and EDT and EDP version of their scents, usually, they release a scent in EDT concentration, then they will release a slightly (or sometimes radically) different version in EDP concentration.

>>13172988
Compare:
https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Christian-Dior/Sauvage-31861.html

And

https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Christian-Dior/Sauvage-Eau-de-Parfum-48100.html

Just for example.

>>13172853
Where in Canada are you and how much do you want for it?

>>13172923
This is the first vetiver fragrance I've tried... have you smelled it? It may not make women swoon like sauvage, but I also don't think they would turn their nose up to it... its pretty clean, fresh, and green... very inoffensive.

I mostly wear stuff for my self, but I do like to smell nice to others. Curious what make you think vetiver isn't generally appealing.

Grey Vetiver almost reminds me of green tea (which is part of the reason I like it), despite no tea note. I assume thats just the smell of vetiver, correct?

Other Vetiver suggestions are welcome. 22yo - daily use for school or in the office, probably for warmer weather.

I'm looking for a spring-summer fragrance.
I have acqua di gio but its too serious for me, the initial 30 minutes make me nauseous and it simply doesn't fit me.
I also have a bottle of eau des baux and I love it desu. So now I'm looking for a spring/summer version of EDB, something fresh and light and comfy.
Any ideas?

I can't get into Dylan Blue. It just has the sense that when people get a whiff of it it just makes people aware you are wearing cologne.

It doesn't really stand out and make you think it's something that smells really really good. I wore Eros to work and my coworkers where standing closer to me than usual.

>>13172988
It's already been explained, but often (especially in the Grand tradition of older houses like Chanel or Guerlain) EDTs and EDCs and Parfums have wildly different formulae. For example, the EDCs would often have hesperidic citrus notes thrown in as well as being a lighter concentration.

I have had that scent. I don't really like it.

>It may not make women swoon like sauvage, but I also don't think they would turn their nose up to it

They wouldn't run a mile no, but they are likely to think it's just OK. I like more of an impact.

>Curious what make you think vetiver isn't generally appealing.

General reviews. Vetiver based scents have never ranked as top compliment getters if I recall.

>Grey Vetiver almost reminds me of green tea (which is part of the reason I like it),

Yeah while that's great you like it, will most people find the smell of green tea appealing? I doubt it.

Like I have Tuscan leather by Tom Ford and C for Men Clive Christian so at the top end of fragrances, they are definitely niche and you have to like them, I think they smell like old tobacco men and I get 10 times more success with something such as Nautica voyage.

Yeah, I am shallow, a Jeremy Fragrance type kind of guy but smelling good can make you more attractive so I tend to play on this.

My favourite Tom Ford scent is Oud Wood which does appeal to women.
