Do I have the gay?

wtf I love Eros now

>>13245024
Shoo troll, you post this every thread.

>>13245024
I unironically enjoy Eros and bought a 200ml bottle

how are you guys with scented candles?

>>13244930
Anyone else have bottles you can't stand that completely disqualifies you from buying from a house/brand?

Amouage is back and forth for me, sometimes I hate the bottles and sometimes I love them.

Pic related though, I will never ever own. Even if the scent is perfect for me (okay fine, maybe a decant). I can't stand these tacky bottles/packaging though.

I like my sample of BdC EDP but the more I wear it the more I feel that the incense is a tad metallic and therefore not really suited for hot weather.
For a year round alternative, should I just get the EDT?

>>13245493
I perceive more incense from the EdT than from the EdP. However, I also see the EdT as more of a summer scent. It's the heavier woods and amber of the EdP that make it more of a mild weather scent to me. Ultimately you will probably want to sample both extensively if you're unsure and can only afford one. Personally, I love both and am hoarding large bottles of each.

>>13245177
Nice job Sherlock

threadly reminder that rochas man is the single best smelling fragrance in the history of mankind and it's not close. if you don't have it in your collection you're literally holding yourself back socially.

Tell me /frag/, what's that go-to scent of yours that you know will always get you the most positive attention – the one you know will always make a stellar impression. Could be your signature or most complimented or one you only break out for special occasions. Doesn't matter.

For me, AdG Profumo beats out everything else. Everyone, women or men, seem to love it. It gets more and better reactions for me than Aventus, BdC, Sauvage, etc.

>>13245466
If its the bottle that no one( almost ) that smells you van see, then you are mentally retarded if that bothers you lmao

So I’m a noob to fragrances but I’ve sampled a fair amount and have read that one infograph that always gets posted so I think I kinda understand what works. But I’m having trouble choosing something to be my first fragrance. My main issue is I ask myself “when am I actually gonna wear this?” I’m a student at a university but I feel like wearing a fragrance to class is out of place and wearing one to parties would call for something different than something more formally suited. So I guess I’m just kind of looking for a really functional and versatile fragrance that is still somewhat unique. I’ve been researching Gucci Pour Homme II and it seems close to what I would want

>tl;dr: anyone have suggestions for a very versatile, functional, but still unique fragrance for a 22 year old man about to graduate from college

>>13245805
Might actually get a bottle for cosy autumn/winter walks closer to the autumn

>>13245858
La nuit de l'homme for me

what are your thoughts on this? worth it?

>>13245858
I don't really break out any scents for any occasions, but the two that seem to get positive reactions: L'homme and The One EDP.

I need to get a bottle of AdG Profumo. Really good scent.

SOTD lads? I'm wearing Habdan today that I got this week.

>>13244943
Doubt it.
>>13245858
I dont get any attention ;_;
>>13245894
>wearing a fragrance to class is out of place
nah do what you want. What have you tried sofar? GpHII is really weak just so you know but smells good.
Versatile stuff: most of the populair creed stuff (aventus MI SMW whatever) Sauvage Reflection Allure sport Extreme ADG profumo prada l'homme dior homme ysl l'homme bleu de chanel from the top of my head.

>>13245934
Reminds me a lot of Narciso Rodriguez For Him but much more expensive.

What should I get between Creed Royal oud and Tom Ford Oud Wood? Which one are better in your opinions?

>>13245965
I've heard its weak but I think i'd be okay with that because i dont want it to be super obvious im wearing a fragrance. maybe its just because ive never worn fragrances before but for some reason im just kinda self conscious about it. i tend to overthink shit like this

but thanks ill check those out!

>>13245965
as for stuff ive tried: i honestly really liked sauvage, tom ford noir, and bleu de chanel. i think i tend to like warmer spicier scents but still kinda light and easy going so nothing too intense

Now I remember what smells like Dylan Blue that makes me hate it so much. The scent is just too obnoxious.

Are Perfumista legit for getting TF samples in the UK? I know they're in the OP post everytime but I'd like some confirmation if possible

>>13246126
Pleb nose with pleb frame of reference detected.

>>13246213
Enjoy your 50 dollar deodorant smell faggle

I really like the Eau de Mandarine by Hermès because of its fruit notes, but I've also tried Voyage d'Hermès and I think it's a more conservative fragrance for a man in general. Any advice?

>>13246237
voyages performance makes it a waste of money don't buy it

>>13246255

Might be cause I have a bad nose but most men's perfumes smell very similar to me, they all have this one "fresh" note that I don't really like. Eau de Mandarine is pretty different but I'm worried people are gonna get tired of me smelling like a citrus all the time.

>>13245408
My mom's house is littered with these everywhere.

>>13245408
I buy 1 every couple weeks to burn at my apartment when I'm there but I don't really care for them other than that

ALD's Russian Musk looks really tempting...

My only regret is not buying a bigger bottle of this.

>>13246237
Voyage is gross. Smells like a Chaat shop. Candied citrus and cardamom. Nothing I'd want on my skin.

>>13246378
La Yuqawam is superior and cheaper.

Pacific Rock Moss is not as masculine as I hoped it would be

Its like a candy aquatic

>>13246237
voyage d hermes edp is one of the best parfumes. edt i dont like somehow though

>>13245894
>a really functional and versatile fragrance that is still somewhat unique

I think I'm going to do a random situation and ask what would /frag/ do:

-Art party at café (highly informal) What frag would you wear? Is it more conceptual or seasonal for you?

>>13245466
Bottle honestly grew on me once I owned it. It's a nice grippy rubber with a nice button activation. Can't think of anything else like pure malt.

>>13245894
>for a very versatile, functional, but still unique fragrance for a 22 year old man about to graduate from college

Bleu is your gateway to the world of fragrances.

>>13245493
I think the edp can be pretty cloying on hot days, but it's perfect in spring

Aside note but consider that United dreams aim high clone. I'm wearing it today, and smells exactly like the edt minus some incense notes.

>>13245894
Go to a sephora and spend some time smelling stuff. Ask for samples of stuff you like and then come back and let us know what you like. Gucci is a good choice for what you ask for. I don't like to rec this because 1) current formulation has longevity problems on some and 2) I don't want my favorite becoming popular, but DG pour homme is one of my most versatile and favorite scents. Constantly overshadowed by the other releases. Perfect scent imo.

Post your collections lads.

Also, I'm looking to expand my spring and summer rotation. My current rotation is pretty citrus and fruit heavy, I'd like to expand it with more woods and florals, and other summer notes, but don't know where to begin. Suggestions on some good warm scents?

Everyone rank your favorite scents that you've owned, cheapies included:

rochas man> virgin island water > animale animale> chanel allure homme edition blanche> eros > versace bleu jeans > bleu de chanel> avon musk marine >diesel plus plus man > playboy pairs> set sail st. barts> navy> la nuit

Just blind bought Invictus and aventus creed, i did good? Also wanted to cop tobacco vanilla but idk, It is good?

>>13246540
I would stick with something like CDG (2, Hinoki, Kyoto) or MMM Soul of the Forest I guess.
It's more conceptual imo and depends on the type of that art/people attending.

>>13246746
if you don't personally like them then you just wasted way too much money.
if you're going to drop more than 100 dollars on a bottle, be sure to buy a sample first

>>13246755
Did you used any of the three? To be honest i just bought Invictus and aventus because if the shill

Does anyone else use Versace Eros here? The top notes seem to only last 3 hours, I can only smell the vanilla and shit afterwards. Is this normal or is my nose just getting used to the scent? I bought it from Sephora.

Oud Wood Intense is my new fav TF

>>13246373
Became disheartened over the reviewers comparing it (negatively) to Siberian Musk, plus that absolutely insane price. Apparently poor sillage too.

>>13246540
CdG Black
or
Bois d'Encens.
Probably the former it's more black and white exhibition-gallery vibe.

>>13246378
smells like a smokers house to me I don't get the hype.

Is there a manly scent that uses potpourri I smelled a blend of roses hibiscus lavender and some other stuff.

Is there a scent that reminds you of a thunderstorm/ rainstorm?

>>13246949
just copped part of an Oud Wood split myself

>>13245182
I'm proud of you

>>13246948
Probably getting used to it. It comes back stronger with body heat

>>13245805
fuck you nigger i bought a 50ml now

>>13246697
mefisto> nasomatto blamage> carla fracci hamlet> eros> penhaligon's endymion

Anyone else feel this is a super underrated fragrance?

>>13247730
It smells like a bunch of stuff, clean smell, nothing special about it

>>13245466

I hate Ultra Zest. It was a blind buy and just sits in my bathroom after being used once. With that said I really love Pure Havane so you can't really judge Thierry Mugler on one fragrance alone.

>>13246952
Asking a parfum to have an extremely heavy sillage is a moot point and some negative reviews are maybe biased because of failed expectations of a "beast mode" SM 2.0. And some negative reviewers are frankly up themselves and don't know much, compared to valid personal criticisms from people that do.

I bought this a couple of days ago and I really enjoy it. Now I'm tempted to buy more stuff, any tips?

>>13247739
I disagree with the first point. Sure, a lot of extraits are not projection heavy (disregarding the fact that these are in fact, eau de parfums and therefore are expected to be sillage strong), the previous generations were all extremely sillage strong. I have two bottles and tried samples from the two previous generations to prove this.
Also, your point about not trusting reviews- where does this end? You seem to be dismissing offhand reviewers who have personally tried the fragrances to justify your own conceptions about the fragrance. Sure, the hype may have influenced them, but having smelt Siberian Musk before makes them experienced about what the range was and only makes them more, not less, qualified to judge the newer releases, if anyone can.

I will say that on basenotes, the average feedback on Russian Musk has been average to negative. For a majority of the reviewers.

No they are all extraits 25-30%.

The reason for the first wave having more impact is because they contained more aromachems that we as a western audience have become accustomed to, which is another factor. If you actually recheck most of the harshest critics are coming around to the scent after trying it multiple times and taking time to understand. I am not dismissing them but at first there was a knee jerk reaction rather than an analytical one, kafka did it proper.

>>13246424
Is it good, though? Any other frags you could compare it to? From the notes, it seems like something I’d love.

>>13246378
I tried it out yesterday on skin, I fucking love it. My favorite Private Blend frag.

I'm going to be slated for saying this but I really enjoy Playboy Hollywood for its lavender, used it solely as a shower gel since the EDT wouldn't last long.
Is La Nuit a good alternative for evenings out in the summer? If I limited to one spray on the chest since it would get cloying in the middle of July where I live, even at night.

>>13246378

How could frag ever recover?

This is basically my final form as I'm almost out of space. Gonna cop that 1L Aventus, remove all fragrance shopping bookmarks from my phone, and find a new hobby.

>>13248537
2/2

Really loving eau sauvage rn even tho I have a bunch of other spring fragrances on deck I keep wearing this one. When I first tried it, I wasn't a huge fan of the soapy notes but now I love it.

YSL's L'Homme used to be my favorite fragrance but I put it on a week ago in the evening and I couldn't stand it. I'd be surprised if the bottle turned bc I store my frags properly and none of the others have done this. Considering trying Ultime or la nuit de l'homme to see if I like them better now

>>13248537
Damn this is a nice collection. Is pineapple vintage worth picking up?

>>13248537
>>13248542

depressing desu. buy real furniture now?

>>13248547
have you compared the edp to the edt? Which one do you like more?

>>13248547
Does this last longer than Versace PH?

>>13248553
PVI is one of three clones that I'd recommend without reservation, along with Rasasi La Yuqawam and Armaf Voyage Bleu. Really, really close to Aventus. I only want the big genuine flacon for autism reasons.

>>13248555
I copped the half liter of Royal Oud and it's a great feeling.

>>13248569
It's a hallway linen cabinet. My home is old but I own it outright and it's in a valuable real estate market desu.

>>13248569
Easily tens of thousands, I’d say.

>>13248639
I gotta get my collection better organized like this. Right now, I only have one shelf in my linen closet for frags, so I kinda just jam shit in wherever it fits. I’m moving to a bigger place soon, though, just bought a condo. Thinking of having my dad build me a cabinet just for my frags.

>>13245894
GPH ii is a fantastic choice honestly. I was in a similar boat where I'm in an evironment where obvious fragrance isn't really going to make me stand out in a good way. It's subtle but smells really nice and it's good to smell nice.

>>13245894
tea frags are great

Given what that other anon said about a frag staining his olfactory nerves, I think Sauvage has done the same to me.
Been a week since I tried it out on my hand at a shop and I still get the faint whiff of it...

Is Reflection man that good? thinking of blind buying it

>>13248687
>Is Reflection man that good
yes
>thinking of blind buying it
If you know your taste well enough and the notes/reviews speak to you go for it I guess.

>>13248250
its good, might end up being better as it warms up. Its without a doubt a summer fragrance. Its so airy and bright smelling.

>>13248639
how is that insurrection 2 pure? It's a cheapie but is it worth wearing? Not looking for aventus like performance from a 20 buck frag obviously.

>>13248895
I always describe Insurrection as "if CK made Aventus". It's closer to the fruity side of the range, with a milder birch note than you get in CDNIM or Rasasi Zebra. The whole thing feels thin and washed out, though. It's like an Aventus eau fraiche. Good for an hour or two maybe. Certainly not a replacement or even in the same league as the real thing. I'd save the $20 and put it towards PV Intense.

>>13246665
I got the le labo samples at colette before they closed and CDG florabotanica and CDG 2 at Kadewe when I bought Concrete. The le labo solid is Rose 31

>>13248687
I don’t see anyone disliking it. It’s not particularly distinctive, but it’s very clean, very versatile, and just smells good. I’d say it’s a pretty safe blind buy.

>>13248542
How is Full Incense? Thinking of picking it up.

This is a good fragrant
soap that last. Lightly
scented.

anyone else use versace eros here? i love the vanilla but it smells pretty synthetic. almost reminds me of axe

A fragrance for women that's similar to roses? At the moment I use rose essential oil, but it doesn't last long.

>>13249077
Based La Toja: http://www.magno.es/geles-ducha/classic/

That one is the best

>>13249127
There are tons of female fragrances that feature rose

Try Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady

>>13249031
It's exactly as named. All incense, and not much else. The incense actually has a bit of a green citrus / fir note to it; it's not a nag champa stoner hippie incense but not a pure Catholic church incense, either. Closer to the latter. Performance is normal Montale, 8 hours plus.

I own and prefer Silver Bond, which is a heavier woody incense fragrance, done in that aforementioned stoner incense style. In the same price range as the Montale you also have Bentley Absolute, which features an incense note similar to Full Incense, paired with cedar, resins, and sandalwood. I just find both more compelling than the clinical FI.

Still, it's a very solid perfume. I blind bought my 50ml for $31 on fragnet in January and would cop again. They get a lot of Montales at that price lately so keep an eye out.

>>13249127
Loads! I like Le Labo's Rose 31, Rose Oud by Kilian, Frederic Malle's Une Rose, La Fille du Berlin by Serge Lutens, Viktor and Rolf's Flower Bomb, and Tocca's Bianca (the latter 3 are pretty easy to get your hands on)

>>13249146
I loved Portrait of a Lady on the card, but found it too powdery on my skin. Tragic because it's so beautifully composed

>>13248687
I wanted to blind buy it as well, but then saw it in one shop near by.
Thank god I didn't buy it, one note is too annoying for my nose, guess it's rosemary.

>>13248569
I hope the particle board gives way and the fragrances smash and blend together to create a super frag

>tfw no fragrance obsessed girlfriend

I'm doomed to forever be isolated with only 4chan to share my hobbies with

>tfw no one to notice my scents
My mom says I smell like a department store

My younger sister says "why does it smell like perfume"

>>13249396
Buy her gifts and explain them to her, take her shopping with you and tell her what you like about certain fragrances. People don't come with all the hobbies they're going to have over their life, and lots of couples undertake new things together and teach each other about the world.

There are some girls ITT you could date >>13249127

>>13249408

I think you mean cross-dressers who want to smell like a girl. I haven't met a girl who posts in this general but I have met at least 2 cross-dressers who post about female frags here.

Has anyone smelled the reformulated dior privee frags?

>>13249415
not surprising that there's more cross dressers than girls on 4chan

>>13249429
Might still be worth it if she works for some place like Roja, Ormonde Jayne, Chanel or even Guerlain. She could shower you with all kinds of samples, gifts and "misplaced" tester bottles.

Favorite non citrus summer scents? Looking for some new stuff for warmer weather.

I think rocky mountain wood is pretty damn good

>>13249610
Tom Ford's Oud Minerale is pretty dope imo

>>13249610

Exactly what I thought. I don't see why it's so popular here (or am I being memed?)

What's a good frag for a black floral shirt and black skinnies? I was thinking maybe Floriental or Santal 33

>>13250683
Joop Homme
MB Individuel
Creed Original Santal

>>13248638
prob not. projects for a very short time then is a skin scent for a very long time.

>>13245024
I regret I paid ton of 3rd world county shekels to this. It smells like fake shit :(

>>13245024
Can vouch EROS is amazing

Looking for heavy, dry, almost tart frag, perhaps with hints of rotting fruit. Any ideas? I'm really bored of the usual smells

>>13250729
I don't know about the rotting bit, but Serge Lutens has fragrances with his wonderful rum-soaked dried fruits and spices accord: Feminite de Bois, Bois et Fruits, Bois et Musc, Fille en Aiguilles etc. Heavy, check. Dry, eh (some of them). Tart, check. Very cozy and delicious, but not in the usual "fruity" gourmand way.

>>13250729
Encre noire is dry and tart

>>13250625
I guess so, yeah. Everyone else smells it fine so meh

>>13250729
4160 Tuesdays Maxed Out. Rum and fruit with just a hint of sweetness cut with cumin. Very dry, tart, almost astringent scent. Definitely not for everyone but maybe worth a look.

Just ordered a 200ml of moncblanc legend since 50 bucks was too good to pass up on fragrancenet
I'm hoping it will be my go to spring frag for casual wear, but I've only really had the sample so far, haven't worn it for extended periods

3 days with Versace Eros and I'm not smelling much of the fragrance anymore. Huge olfactory fatigue. My mom and my younger sister tells me the smell is too much even when I'm not so close to them though.

>>13249021
marry me

Wow I guess the Versace Eros is too strong for day to day use. I sprayed twice on my wrists and neck, people are avoiding me at bus stops because it smells too much

>>13251068
You gotta really go light on Eros, especially if it’s warm out. Better as a nighttime scent. You can definitely use it during the day and for day to day use, but you gotta really, really go easy on it.

>>13251081
From now on I'm only spraying once on my wrists. I guess two sprays is too much

>>13251086
Once on the wrists, rub on neck. Maybe a little spritz on your chest under your clothes for some nice wafting action.

Cross post because this thread seems more active. Help resolve an argument with my friends, I say that, as a smoker, there's no point in me wearing any aftershave/fragrances because the smoke will just overpower it. They say otherwise.

Who's right?

>>13251096
I’d say depends on the fragrance. Some fragrances will definitely be strong enough to cut through the smoke. Probably won’t smell too nice, though.

>>13251096
It won't be overpowered, you just need to find a fragrance you like that mixes well with the tobacco smell. Easy example is YSL nuit de l'homme

>>13251096
Patchouli, oud, tobacco, vetiver, woods, heavy rose. Find perfumes with these notes and you'll definitely be fine. Lightweight aquatics or teenage freshies won't cut it. Fortunately those are mostly pleb anyway.

I'm new to fregrances but really wanna try the Dolce Gabanna Light Blue one. Is it good? Does it last long? I smelled it in a store and it seems quite afforable

>>13250583
some people say eros reminds them of axe dark temptation, the one with chocolate. i think it's because of the vanilla

eros isn't just popular here, it's pretty high up in the bestselling list for sephora as well

>>13251092
is the neck better or the back of the ears better?

>>13251186
Either/or, really.

>>13251213
i read somewhere that the neck is warmer so it's a better spot, but when i see people apply fragrance they do the wrists and back of the ears thing.

>>13251092
Don't rub, you heat up the fragrance

>>13245024
eros is one of the best i had i unironically had people ask me in the club what perfume i got
def. recommend

>>13247380
I think that TF Black Orchid has good floral noted and a nice kick of pepper which makes it more masculine. It does lose a lot of the pepper after the drydown though.

>>13250994
This has been my go-to for when I don't know what to wear. It's fine

>>13251161
My gf wears light blue a lot and it's great. Awesome summer scent and it lasts a decent amount of time.

Can't find Royal Oud anywhere in this dead town, how does it compare to Royal princess Oud? I found it and tried then loved at first sniff.

>>13251256
>bro science

>>13251682
it's not bro science, it's the truth.

>>13251035
how much are you putting on

>>13251068
4 sprays of eros for the day is entirely too much, holy shit. i used it during the day while i was waiting for a different fragrance to come in and even with 1 spray i could smell it on me the next fuckin morning

>>13251715
i meant 2 sprays, each on my wrists and neck. i agree i smelled vanilla on me the next morning though

>>13251711
only 1 or 2 sprays

how to avoid olfactory fatigue?

should i spray on my chest or back of my ears instead of my neck?

should i stop sniffing my wrists all the time?

>>13245024
It's amazing how this post is always a newfag magnet

>>13251757
Chest will make it worse. Wrists are good for checking longevity, but if all you want is to avoid fatigue go for the back of your ears, back of your neck and both ankles.

>>13246949

These are expensive af. I heard good things about them, how long does it last on your body?

>>13251787
Did... did you just suggest for someone to apply fragrance to their ankles?

>>13251916
Jesus did it

>>13251928
I doubt that Jesus was that stupid.

Looking for a feminine fragrance but nothing floral, or at least not powerful floral notes. A warm smell in any case I was thinking something woody/sweet maybe? Any suggestions?
Bonus points for reasonable price and availability.

>>13251942
Boy you better brush up on your Christian canon.
The anointing of Jesus:
Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume

>>13251943
If you're looking for Woody but not floral you might want to look at unisex frags like ysl L'Homme

WTF?!? I’m gay now!

>>13251949
So... you’re saying I should have hookers rub perfume on my feet with their hair?

>>13252024
Yes, that's fa as fuck

>>13252035
I’ll look into it next time I’m in Amsterdam.

>>13246949
Would Black Orchid be an acceptable frag to wear if I was in a suit and tie?
I worry it may lean to being too feminine for me, the most flowery frag I've worn is 212 men

i've worn dsquared Rocky Mountain Wood for years now so i'd like to branch out a bit, any recommendations for something similar but noticeably different?

What are your thoughts on Dior Homme Sport for a spring/summer fragrance? The longevity is less than that of Sauvage but I think it smells fresher as well.

Does anyone have experience buying from Lilydirect on Ebay?

>>13251096
It won't overpower the fragrance, but the rancid-like cigarette smoke will always come wafting under it. I think it'll smell pretty terrible.

Interestingly, Givaudan has an AM called Encens Pyrogene which smells exactly like put out, wet cigarette butts. No idea how anyone would use it

>>13251111
Haha.
The tobacco note in fragrances refers often to unnamed unsmoked cigar tobacco, or blonde tobacco.
It'd be ridiculous to suggest that any fragrance has the same "tobacco" as putrid cigarette ash.

>>13251916
Yeah, it's a pretty common thing. Unless you're a manlet and seated people can smell your neck while you're standing up

Your ankles... are not on your neck, a-are they?

>>13252349
Applying perfume to your ankles (or the back of your knees) is a good way to test how others might perceive the fragrance / how it performs.

>>13252348
About 13 ounces short of a pint there, friend.

>>13252367
Is this a meme? Am I being memed? Please don’t meme me!

>>13252369
Yes, weren't you making a point about expensive perfumes?

>>13252237
Dior homme intense for similar floral notes

Try wonder wood for similar wood frags, but imo kinda disappointing. Have a look at silver wind wood.

>>13252338
Dude, shut the fuck up, Gary.

Thoughts on this (edp and edt)? Was thinking of copping it and terre D Hermes, longevity isn't all that great though

>>13251787
I don't see how wrists are good for longevity. do you never wash your hands? my wrists get rubbed all the time reaching into my pockets ect...

>>13252467
Haha, a laugh riot.

>>13252367
I've read this elsewhere but it's usually said by women who have bare legs

i ordered a sample of la nuit frozen cologne and it arrived and it smells just like regular la nuit. did i get memed

>>13252472
I like it edp kinda pricey for what it is though. Reminds me of gin terra d hermes. I thought it lasted about as long as other scents nothing lasts long on me though.

>>13252367
>Spray snkles/knees
>Put on socks and pants
What the fuck are you doing? This is almost as retarded as telling people they're "crushing the molecules" when they rub their wrists together.

>>13252512
I mean, I guess I can kinda see it making sense for women wearing a dress or skirt and no socks maybe. For a dude, though, I really don’t get why you do that. Fragrance on your ankles is gonna be under you socks and pants, plus nowhere bear people’s faces. They’re never gonna smell it.

Oud Intense lasts 12+ hours. It’s crazy. The Tobacco Vanille and the black orchid are closer to 8.

I don’t see why not. It’s supposed to be unisex.

>>13252536
I have sprayed perfume inside of my sneakers without applying any to my body, gone out for the day, and experienced sillage similar to being near a person wearing that fragrance. Don't underestimate the combination of warmth and motion.

Is there any difference between sauvage edt and parfum?

>>13252574

Any recommendations for a masculine frag that has rose notes?

Any recommendations on men's cologne that has vanilla notes? Something other than Versace Eros

>>13252793
my favorite vanilla is in Tauer's stuff.

>>13252767
Xerjoff Mefisto, Amouage Lyric, Clive Christian Rock Rose.

>>13252793
4160 Tuesdays Centrepiece, Serge Lutens un Bois Vanille, Roja Enigma, if you want to go really high-end.

>>13252541
If you wear high socks, just spray it on the back of your knees. The point is for people sitting on tables at public places to smell you when you walk past them. It really isn't rocket science, and you don't have to do it with expensive niche fragrances

>>13252487
Well, your neck is not sterile either. If you wash your forearms at the bathroom, just spray it closer to your inner elbow, I guess

if you aren't applying fragrances to your soles then lmfao at your life

I put the sampler directly under my nose and inhaled deeply and could not smell anything for the life of me.

>>13253023
Then you're retarded, or desperate for attention to the point of exaggerating the lack of strength such that you couldn't smell it directly. Either case leaves you as a retard.

>>13252873
How come everyone says it's wasteful to spray on inner elbows if wearing long sleeves, but spraying on your ankles underneath socks and pants is ok? Are you telling me it is going to go through all those layers and rise 5 or 6 feet?

Anyone else find these similar or am I just a dummy?

Do fragrances make unwashed clothes smell worse?
Or is it more that the clothes make the fragrance smell mustier?

>>13252767
>>13252793
Habit Rouge is mainly rose and vanilla with soft leather in the background. It's not for "the lads" or "absolute madmen," because it's fairly unisex.

Why do all the virgins in this thread hate on Sauvage?

>>13252877
I meant after you put it on gonna need to wash your hands a few times.

Samples GTI for the first time on Sunday and loved it. But it honestly does smell very similar to my Coolwater. I can't quite figure out the difference in between them desu lads. But there is something different. I prefer gti but why would I pay 200 more for something that smells so similar to my Coolwater that I've had forever?

>>13253646
Answer: You wouldn't.
A sensible person would stay away from it. So much more you could do with the same amount of money. There are really interesting and extremely well crafted fragrances out there for a fraction of the price.

Well?

>>13253646
Personally GIT lasts longer on my skin. Like significantly longer. I don't really like bringing around an atomizer to school because I don't want to freshen up and then smell like a cologne guy or whatever.

Also GIT imo is a little greener and fresher, as opposed to the aquatic. It is pretty subtle though. I hate to drop a meme word, but there's a few notes that come off as synthetic to me in the opening, just a little metallic and kinda puts me off.

It's not a huge deal or anything I feel like I could live with both, but there you go

>>13253582

>>13244930
How much do decant guys make? Is it a decent amount or is it just spare pocket change/free fragrances?

I'm curious

>>13251616
Got a sample of royal oud today, this stuff is great. I get a lot of sandalwood and I love sandalwood. No clue about that princess but I will get a full bottle of this stuff when I find it for a decent price.

Does oud rhyme with mood or with loud?

anyone else think versace eros smells like axe?

Can we include filtering advice in the OP? Kind of tired of how often we enable sauvage, eros, invictus, etc shitposting

>>13254043
filter them yourself you fucking autist, /fa/ is a dead board already why would you want to filter posts

>>13254045

Actually it's a little fast for my tastes given how much empty shitposting happens with basically no content

>>13254122

are you kidding me?

i often have to wait the whole day for the thread to progress

>>13254063
How's the performance/longevity? I feel like you can't really get that from a sample.

Any recomendation for a nutty scent (or pistachio) designer or niche that arent too much powdery "ala dior homme"? Id love specially a middly sweet smoky ones.

>>13254124
That's fine by me if people aren't posting garbage and actually making content
Post number 600 about how Dylan blue if gay or Eros gets you pussy is meaningless noise. I would rather have a post every few days than have more of that shot. It's a shame that this general is so opposed to thing it her than shitposting

>>13254165
For me its pretty good maybe the best performing Creed I have tried but it hard to say with Aventus

I need some help finding a summer fragrance m8s
I'm looking for something flowery with maybe some tea notes, some citrus, perhaps even some fresh fruit, some vetiver is okay with me too
Unisex (or just not as masculine as Eau de sauvage) prefered

I've only tried these
>L'eau d'issey couldn't stand this at all for the first hour, dry down was kind of okay
>ADGs I kind of like these but I smell this on a lot of people already
>eau sauvage dig only the top notes desu
>aventus I can't stand the smoke
>TF grey vetiver This one I like a lot but it's just so sharp. Maybe because it's not summer here yet, not sure how it perfoms with moderate heat

I'd appreciate any recs you throw at me

>>13247870
It's nice for date nights in the fall and winter and it wears out after around 4 hours. Use 2-3 sprays and expect to swoon but also expect it to not last.

>>13254370
SMW or Mefisto has everything you're asking for minus the vetiver.

>>13254370
Montblanc legend might be good for you if you don't like the smoke in aventus, same pineapple and fruit/flowery notes.
You could try L'Homme as a unisex too, but it has a little more ginger than others

Should I have bought the edt of la nuit?
I bought the edp because when I started I thought edp was just like edt but longer lasting and better silage but now I realize it changes the scent too

>>13254390
>SMW or Mefisto
thanks SMW is one of the few creed frags I havent smelled yet, will try out next week or so
for everyday use I might get one of the dupes though

>>13254399
>Montblanc legend
will check this one out thanks

already have a lot of spicy frags, so I'm looking to switch it up and not buy L'homme for now

>>13254224
People just don’t seem to get it. Memes are memes and that’s fine, but if you’re just shitposting all the time, then there’s no content, and the general just dies. Everyone thinks it’s hilarious to be the guy who posts the Eros meme, or the list of buzzwords meme, or whatever each thread, but they don’t seem to realize that shit takes up space. If everyone just posted one shitpost each thread, the threads would be nothing but shit.

Memes must be used sparingly, otherwise you’re just pissing in an ocean of piss.

Does Black Afgano smell like weed?

>>13254452
Not the dude you’re responding to, but IMO Mefisto is completely superior to SMW. They’re similar, but Mefisto is so much smoother and more sophisticated. They’re comparable in price, so I’d definitely try both if you can.

>>13254452
>I might get one of the dupes though
I'd get al wisam day in that case.

>>13254504
I'll put it onto my list, I haven't seen this brand anywhere yet though. If I get around to ordering samples I'll check for this one

>>13254507
I was thinking about Sun Java White for Men, it might be crapshoot anyway blind buying these dupes

Only important question: what fragrances art hoes like?

>>13254404
It doesn't always change the scent btw. I believe hanae mori HiM is a case of that. GENERALLY, EdT's don't last as long but they project more, while EdP's don't always project as much but last longer. (Again, this isn't a hard and fast rule, partally some bro science.)

I seem to recall the EdP being an actually different scent though, IE it features Iris and is more like La nuit + DHI. Overall if you can return it and wanna try the EdT, go right ahead. But if you like it, just keep it senpai. We all start somewhere.

>>13254536
This question gets asked literally every thread.

>>13254538
>GENERALLY, EdT's don't last as long but they project more, while EdP's don't always project as much but last longer
This is the way it should be imo

I hate that everybody and their fucking grandmas are disguising flankers as edp of the original or some shit now

>>13254554
stop responding then

>>13254564
True, and Ysl seems to be particularly bad about that

PSA: FragranceBuy just got a bunch of Roja frags in. Probably cheapest you’ll find them given that fragnet doesn’t carry them.

>>13254370
Flowery Citrus: Check out Acqua Di Parma Colonia (and it's flankers, people praise about the blu series but I've never tried it)
Tea Citrus: Gucci Pour Homme II
Fresh Fruit: Check out the Hermes Jardin line (and other stuff from Hermes for citrus generally)

Atelier has some citruses people like and they're available to try at every Sephora, but I haven't tried. Diptyque also does some good fragrances but I don't know them well enough to suggest off the top of my head.

>>13252535
Do you prefer the EdT or the EdP? Kind of wanna cop them. Is it even worth trying the EdP?

What's the best panty dropper that hasn't been reformulated and doesn't smell synthetic? Also how do I apply it without crushing the molecules?

can you please think about what the actual fuck you are saying and de-meme your brain

>>13254759
this was a pretty efficient shitpost though, 1 big pile is better than two small ones

>>13253255
Both have some citrus and a touch of pepper, and a similarly powdery tonka note. On the whole though, they're not really similar.

>>13254564
Completely wrong. EdPs were specifically formulated in the 80s with the powerhouse fragrances in mind. They were meant to announce your presence before you entered the room, ala Opium- loud and strong.

the 1 Liter of Creed Oud is like 1300 USD by itself

Yo, I'm a newfag looking for a fragrance. I think I have an interest for the "gourmet" meme. I went to a store a few weeks ago and got a few samples. I tried Y by YSL, was fine but didn't last long. Also tried on L'eau d'Issey, but wasn't a fan. I think 2 of my friends already have La Nuit so I don't think I'll get this one. I'm thinking about Rochas, but I don't know if it's good for an everyday wear. Any suggestion?

>>13255041
Oh and I'm a guy btw

>>13255007
thats a half liter he got for under 400

>>13255041
None of those are gourmand scents other than Rochas. Try the Mugler A*Men frags, they’re pretty much the prototypical designer gourmands. If you want to go niche, Serge Lutens is a good starting point, there are many good SL gourmands.

I'm poor as fuck and sick of smelling of the mouldy hole in which i dwell, please rec some bottom dollar shit that will at least mask my stink.

i'ma guy

>>13255080
No, no, I know the other ones aren't, they're only the ones I got samples from. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the rec tho, I'll check into that!

>>13255087
nothing will mask it, it will just mix with the stink

>>13255093

>>13255093
Aramis

>>13253899
not sure, but I'd imgaine enough to cover the cost or at least part of the frag they are decanting

>>13255234
In most cases it's probably a way of making the hobby pay for itself on a small scale. Seems like a lot of effort but I'm glad people exist to provide the service.
