Literally pic related, special blend

>>13263315

GOAT frag

>>13263329
...why is the bottle shaped like that?

>>13263332
You know why.

>>13263332

honestly yes the packaging is awkward but the juice is godly

>>13263315
Copped the last remaining bottle of Special Blend at my local Macy's today. The sales team were really friendly and offered me a sample of the upcoming AdG Absolu. I have the Absolu on paper right now, giving it a good sniff before applying a post shower evening scent.

Absolu has a more easy-going feel to it than Profumo or Essenza. There's a certain amber fuzziness to it that dominates sniffs unless I breathe on the paper or wave it around assertively. Otherwise I definitely pick up some AdG style marine notes, jasmine, and probably bergamot. I've never smelled Invictus Aqua but I own Mont Blanc Legend Spirit, which is often compared to it. This makes me think of Spirit for wealthy grown ups, swapping out the pineapple for hedione(?) I'll have to give it a full skin wear and report back this weekend. It would probably be ideal for Easter gatherings.

Scent of the evening: Special Blend

>>13263427
You sound insufferable

>>13263308
>tfw you got your special blend right before some German psychopath on youtube recommended buying 10 bottles before it was all gone

Good timing

So, what’s the deal with this Special Blend stuff? Near as I can tell, it’s exactly the same as Profumo. Is everyone just buying it because Jeremy said to now? Help me out here.

>>13263439
Thank you for your valuable contribution to the thread.

>>13263459
Essentially exactly the same, the patchouli is from somewhere different, which if you believe people the talk about ingredient source, makes it smell a bit different.

Personally, I do think it smells a bit softer, especially the opening notes. The performance seems a bit different too. Wouldn't buy it unless you need an entirely new bottle.

As for why people are buying it, yes, it's probably to do with Jeremy/spring time coming up.

>>13263459
I sniffed Special Blend when buying Bleu EdP in store and wanted a bottle. I thought I could sleep on it until it hit fragrancenet at a discount price the same way I copped Spicebomb Eau Fraiche, another Macy's exclusive. Jeremy ruined that plan for me so I had to buy at retail now. Hopefully Armani give it a wide release later, but there's no guarantee that'll happen.

wtf I love Eros now

I don't think I'll ever be able to watch his videos with a straight face again having dug out this old hidden gem.

Who was he before he put on the fragrance? Maybe spraying on so much Eros and Invictus did actually turn him into the entrepreneur he is today from err... this...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWXufmabO70

>>13263497
PFFFFFAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What year was this?

>>13263497
No one cared who he was until he put on the fragrance. You merely adopted the Eros. He was born in it, molded by it.

There really isn't a better spring fragrance.

>>13263485
>Mom I posted it again!

>>13263497
>Who was he before he put on the fragrance?
Nobody cared who I was until I put on the fragrance.

>>13263513
2011 apparently

that is some impressive FFX hair.

>>13263315

I don't love this stuff but I got a couple complements so I am wearing it out tonight.

>>13263427

>Copped the last remaining bottle of Special Blend at my local Macy's today.

This is where you should have stopped if you didn't want to sound like a complete faggot.

I want to get a new fragrance for spring and was shopping around today. I was thinking Chanel Allure Sport Eau Extreme. Can anyone think of a better compliment getter?

>>13263603
that's an all season fragrance, pal

>>13263382
Muh man

>>13263700
I regret buying the 10ml sample from Sephora

It was $30 for it when I could get a 100mL tester for only $50 online

I almost wanted to return it but I couldn't go a day without Eros. So I kept it

>>13263707
Versace stuff is pretty good value compared to other big brand colognes online. Really didn't like Eros at first. Forgot I had a sample on a test stripe. The freshness is great.

>>13263427
I'm glad you had a good time shopping today anon. Thinking I'll pick up a bottle of Special Blend myself this weekend. Happy Easter :)

>>13263661
>stop talking about your hobby on the appropriate board!

Fuck off, autistic faggot.

Any good walnut scent for male mid 20s. I grew up around walnut trees.

>>13263716

I must have gotten a fake Eros from Amazon. It's not fresh smelling at all.

>>13263753
Or maybe you're just a dumbfuck.

>>13263753
It's definitely fresh smelling. The top notes are fruits.

>>13263753
Some reviews say it smells like a fucking cleaning solution, how is it not fresh? You must have a shitty sense of smell

>>13263756
>>13263759
>>13263765

The one I received is very heavy smelling. Almost a club fragrance with a strong vanilla dry down. It was a blind buy and is probably fake. I'll have to try it at the store. I ended up just giving mine to my grandfather.

>>13263753
I got mine from there too I don't have any issue with mine

>>13263787
9/10 almost rustled my jimmies

>>13263791

If I could send it to you I would. It's a very strong fragrance. I am talking a*men strong. Not sure what juice I got but it's far from "fresh."

>>13263657
So I've heard this smells like burnt wood with orange on it? Is that too harsh? Anyone mind telling me what they like about it/any similar frags?

>>13263315
Amouage Dia Man

>>13263787
>>13263798
That’s literally what Eros smells like. Super strong, heavy sweet vanilla with a bit of fresh mint and citrus. It is a clubbing scent. That’s the whole point of it.

Narsico Rodriguez for him or encre noir as a blind buy. It will be for a hot humid climate.

>>13263478
dude what the fuck? is he really making that much from a fucking youtube channel about cologne?

>>13263832
absolutely do not wear encre noir in a hot and humid environment unless you dislike everyone near you

>>13263832
Neither of those are safe for humidity, but if you have to choose then Narciso

>>13263497
damn that hair and those clothes really look good on him though

>>13263817

Then why is everyone making it sound like it smells like Windex?

>When you spray on Sauvage 10 times then walk out the door

no better feeling desu

>>13263845
It's synthetic. Causes olfactory fatigue.

>>13263716
speaking of versace, just got this in the mail today.
its my favorite scent out of everything I've sampled so far, but I am a total newb.

but damn I really like this scent.

>>13263787
you're grandfather sis probably going to die while having sex with a 20 year old slut then

>>13263863
I haven't checked that one out yet but if it is fresh as Versace Pour Gimme I might have to get it. How is it so far?

>>13263863 #
I haven't checked that one out yet but if it is fresh as Versace Pour Homme I might have to get it. How is it so far?

Okay everyone what's your best compliment getter? Mine is ADG profumo. My anti-compliment getter is Tuscan Leather. With TL I get more "What is that smell?" than compliments.

What's the most androgynous/feminine fragrance males can wear without people thinking they're gay/women?
asking for a friend

>>13263943
Versace Eros

>>13263905
Different dude here. I own both. VPH is sharper citrus, MAF is softer and sweeter. It isn't redundant at all to have both. I owned both of those and AHS, and got rid of AHS cause it smelled so similar to VPH.

>>13263943
YSL L'Homme
L'eau de Issey

>>13263669
I the regular AHS better make sure you have tried all of AHS, AHEB, and AHSEE before you buy one.

>>13263943
Gucci Guilty for Men.

It literally has lavender as the top note

>>13263974
Lavender is generally considered to be a pretty traditionally masculine note, m8.

>>13263979
It says in the fucking description that the fragrance is supposed to challenge traditional masculine gender roles. It's a pretty feminine smelling cologne

>>13263950
Cool looking to switch it up from VPH. AHS is similar and not worth the price. The dey down is better in VPH. Doesn't smell like orange peel like AHS

I need a spring/summer alternative to wonderwood

>>13263485
Dear Eros poster,


Never change.

>>13263946
>>13263961
>>13263974
Yeah nvm I read the description of all of those and nah, i think i'm just going to buy some women's fragrances instead.
Wish me luck.

>>13264009
ive actually been wanting to do this really badly

please report back and tell us how it goes

>>13263832
if you live in hot/humid place then get encre noire sport instead

>>13264009
Whatever you do make sure not to blind buy.

Is there such a thing as non-dated smelling aromatic fougere? Something along the lines of Paco Rabanne Pour Homme or Azzaro Pour Homme but more modern smelling that a 20-something could pull off?

Recommend me something for the summer that is floral but still unambiguously masculine.

>>13263839
Is there a fragrance similar to either that is good in humidity?

>>13264003
How do you like wonderwood? Is it good for casual wear?

>>13264053
No. Those are deliberately heavy and opinionated fragrances and I don't think anything similar to it would be enjoyable in the heat.

>>13263974
Lavender is the most masculine note you can possibly name. Fougeres, barbershop fragrances etc.
Very few, if any, mainstream frags with lavender can be considered feminine.

how is pic related for summer?

Best designer winter office fragrances?

>>13264174
Tom Ford Oud Wood or YSL La Nuit imo

>>13264178
>la nuit in the office
prepare to meet with your HR rep

Is noir extreme really just for mature men?

>>13264185
I wore it for a year in the office (only a single spray). It's not like it's Spicebomb or anything.

>>13263427
What's your opinion on Essenza?

>>13264026
Lalique L'Insoumis

>>13263315
How do you think that compares to Sauvage? I liked it when I tested it but longevity on me is disappointing. What is it like on you?

>'and with just that one spray of La Nuit de l'Homme I became woke to a level of consciousness no-one could possibly understand'

Question is when are you going to take the the 200ml light grey pill?

>>13263497
Not bad at all

>>13264504
la nuit is actually one of the few scents I have considered buying more than 100ml

any got recs for a 'sophisticated' spring fragrance? or just a spring fragrance in general

>>13264637
Reflection

Thoughts?

>>13264735
Strange, dense rose with a top sour note. Smells dusty. I don't really get it.

What am I in for?

Just got into fragrances a month ago and have been looking to expand my (Non-existent) collection. Don't have many stores near my house so have been reduced to ordering samples.

So far my collection looks something like this:
>BdC - Work
>Allure Homme sport extreme - Doing anything else outside

Need a:
>Clubbing frag
>Summer casual frag
>Summer work frag
>Formal/Black tie frag

>>13264057
I wear it nearly every day, great casual fragrance in my opinion. A lumberous woody scent through and through, with some pepper and musk to spice it up and make it feel more like a cologne.
Lasts a while on me, projection is just okay.

>>13264918
You can use BdC for summer work and Allure Homme Sport Extreme for summer casual. For formal, Le Male or Prada Iris are good. Clubbing -> One Million, Eros, Ultra Male, Invictus, Sauvage or whatever other meme

>>13263991
That’s fine, but you saying it’s feminine because it has lavender in it is still silly.

>>13264918
Eros is a bit of a meme here but it is actually pretty good for the club, 30 ml or so should be enough for a while

>>13264967
everything this anon said except one million though please

>>13264918
>Clubbing frag
here's the definitive infographic

>>13265077
>that pic
DONT YOU USE SAUVAGE? ARE YOU GAY?

>>13265096
3 here. I love both Sauvage and Dylan Blue equally. Eros is just okay to me. Still, the image sort of checks out.

>>13265077

honestly all of them are liquid shit and if you wear any of them you should just kill yourself

>>13265077
The only ones on that list that aren't reformulated to death are Sauvage, Profumo, Ultra Male and Dylan Blue

>>13265353
Thank you for your opinion. That was a very helpful and well thought-out post.

I got this at Christmas time, love the smell but it just doesn't seem that strong. When I got a sample card in the shop, for the first 30 mins it smell bad but then afterwards incredible. I dunno, just not too many people noticing it on me

What is the best frag to spray all over your car's interior?

Yo boys, was gonna get my first frag but I didn't know what to choose. I liked L'Homme Ideal but I don't know if it's a good start.

>>13264254
Looks interesting, thanks.

>>13265461
36 sprays of Kouros. The Chadmobile.

Thoughts on Lalique White?

Cant find any nearby stores or websites with samples, but its cheap, I might break my rule blind buy.
Wonderwood in my current signature, seems like a nice summer alternative.

>>13263478
>>13263834
my guess is his relatives are wealthy, hence his little experiment with being a pop star. also:

>3 years
>contract

he's leasing the car, not buying

>>13263943
Habanita Molinard EDP

>>13265511
This, nothing better than a car smelling of monkey balls

Thoughts? Wearing a sample today and really like it, although pretty citrusy on my skin for the opening. Extremely fresh.

Currently trying to branch out since I only have experience with bleu

Thoughts on Burberry Weekend? Picked up a bottle super cheap today and I'm not so sure about it

>>13265536
Clean, peppery and understated. Safe blind buy if you're looking for an everyday/office summer scent. You may find it too boring compared to Wonderwood

marly pegasus is a pussy magnet

>>13263464

Anon is right though

>>13263427
Nice Reddit review, faggot!

>>13265768
He’s contributing content, you’re not. GTFO my thread.

>>13265768
What the fuck does this mean

>>13265885
He's one of the handful of autists that shit up this thread.

>>13265885
Some faggot here throws a tantrum whenever someone posts a review outside of "ug spray on chest, ug get laid, pretty lady say ug smell nice"

>>13265885
4chan is for bullying and thoughtless shitposting. save detailed reviews for youtube, basenotes, fragrantica and reddit

>>13265936
No. Fagoots who come here from other sites and only know of 4chan through “best of” posts think that. This was a nice general until you stupid faggots showed up.

>>13264036
I have the regular Dior homme, but both are floral and somewhat masculine

>dad buys new bottle of AdG profumo a few months back
>around the same time someone gifts him TdH and he starts wearing that, doesn't even take the cellophane off his box of AdG
>just gave it to me cause he thinks he'll never get around to wearing it
>autisticly hesitate to accept it because I know he keeps his frags in the bathroom and I fear that they'll have already degraded from the warmth/humidity

can a frag be ruined by being in a bathroom for just three months, even if it's in the box the whole with the wrapping still intact? i tell myself he takes short showers and leaves the door open so there's less humidity but still I fee like I'm worrying about it like a retard

>>13264036
Lalique Encre Noire Sport, nice mix of bitter florals and citrus and vetiver. To me the flroals are more prominent than anything else and it smells very dark and masculine.

>>13266009
>I feel like I'm worrying about it like a retard
i think your feelings are justified

Is this thread all women or gay guys? Real men don't wear perfume.

>>13266036
I mean are you just gonna sell it otherwise? I'm sure it's fine, not like the shower cranks your room up to 100 degrees or anything.

>>13266009
it's free who gives a shit, buy a 1ml sample and compare if your autism needs taming

>>13266081
>>13266088

I was thinking of selling it is it's degraded at all. I already have a bottle of AdG Profumo so I know how it's supposed to smell, but obviously I'd rather not unbox it to test it if I'm just gonna sell it.

>>13266116
think about the transport of goods in america. how does ADG profumo get to you? On a semi or FEDEX truck. They aren't insulated for heat. In the summer, the cologne is sitting in the back of of scorching hot trucks for days at a time.

And you're worried about 5 minutes of slightly above average heat.

If the box isn't damaged by the humidity, the juice won't be. It's fine you autist.

>>13266146
This. It’s fine.

>>13266146
5 minutes everyday for 90 days = 450 minutes in a warm humid bathroom (!)

...but I see your point

>>13266159
the shower is only going for 5-10 minutes. the heat is only elevated in the room for mere seconds of that. so maybe a couple minutes total. even under the generous estimate of 450 minutes that you gave, that's only 7.5 hours. that's way less than the exposed time in even one trip it might get in the summertime. even then it's probably well under 80 degrees, which is considerably better conditions for cologne than the 100+ degrees that they undergo in transport regularly.

tldr: quit being a bitch, it's fine. people say not to keep it in your shower because they'd be unsealed and over the course of many many YEARS the juice might get damaged. 3 winter months is fucking nothing.

Recommend me a fragrance that'd make you assume a guy was gay, costs >$75, and has good longevity/sillage.

i've been wanting to get into fragrances. i dress kind of sophisticated/classy, i take casual walks mostly, what would you guys wear on dates? college friendly fragrances?

>>13263726
Reporting back! Store I went to still has a ton of Special Blend in stock. Got a bunch of shit samples with it, except for VUA, which I've actually wanted to try.

>>13266239
Dylan blue

>>13266470
Where can I find this, how much, and is it even worth copping?

>>13266477
I've only seen it at department stores, like The Bay, that's where I got it. Price is the same as regular AdG Profumo. Only difference between the two is that for SB they harvested the patchouli from a difference source. Some (like jeremy) say it has slightly better performance and is a touch sweeter, others say it's exactly the same. It's at least as worth copping as regular AdGP, but anything more than that is debatable.

I don’t think I’m gonna grab this special blend stuff. Seems like kind of a meme desu.

what the fuck is up with the "team peep" and "team mini" shit

also wtf i love eros now

>>13266500
Think I'll skip it then. Might stop at Macy's or something, but I'm more interested in grabbing something like Midnight in paris. Doubt I'll find a bottle though, which is a shame. It's a pretty nice fragrance but not a 100 dollar fragrance. (Doubt the edp is worth 200 either)

what a shame

>>13263427

>13266530

>>13266009
Jesus Christ you're a fuckin spastic. No it will not have been affected over 3 months or even a year in the got humid bathroom, especially with the cellophane intact. If you're too autistic to wear it send it to me!

It’s Gookmoot’s idea of an April Fool’s joke.

Absolute fragrance noob here. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't just blind buy based on what you /fa/ggots wear?

>>13266767
You might end up spending a lot of money on something you end up hating, especially if it's something more niche.

>>13266767
Because you can go to a sephora and get samples, and samples are so dirt cheap you might as well try them out anyways?

I mean you do you man

yall got anything fun in the mail?

I need a spring/summer fragrance. Is this safe to blind buy?

>>13266785
I have a literal 6 months of orders off of eBay stashed up in my receptionist back home, which I'm away from for another 6 months amounting to at least 50 full bottles not including decants. It's killing me.

>>13266001
Isn't Dior homme a bit cloying in the summer though?

>>13263497
He's a failed pop singer. He isn't as well off as people think. The suits and Ferrari are for show. Did no one actually listen to what he was saying when "buying" his car? He's leasing it for 3 years.

Having said that, his channel is doing well so fair play to him

>>13263806
Not him but at first my gf thought it smelled of rotten orange peels. After a few times of wearing it though she, and I'm not making this up, literally said "it makes me want to suck you off"

>>13267429
>He's a failed pop singer
I don't think he seriously wanted to do that as a career though right?

>>13267434
>rotten orange peel
>makes me want to suck you off
N-nani?
I tried TdH once and tought the same actually. The orange peel part, not the succ.

>>13265629

Pretty safe buy. Fresh and people pleasing and close to nobody else will be wearing it

>>13265629
I was gifted a bottle a while back. While it is more complex than it first seems, the longevity is absolutely terrible. It's smoother, more radiant and I get more blossoms than your average cologne water. The Clary sage gives it a nice refreshing crispness and the lavender is toned down enough not to be rustic. But still, it disappears from my skin in 20 minutes flat. I must be in the minority because fragrantica has it with lots of votes in the long lasting category.
>inb4 special snowflake skin, I genuinely wish I could smell it after 20 mins, but I can't

Thoughts on this?

>>13266785
I'm waiting for that same sample set, most excited for Maduro and Bojnokopff. Also some incense cones from House of Matriarch

>>13267747
it appears to be an after shave

>>13266805
Honestly a bit heavy for summer. If you want to sample it in person, try looking at those cheapie perfume outlet stores in your area malls. I've found Armaf at two different local chains.

Thoughts on this one? Is it signature frag or just weak blend? Dior though

has anyone here made their own fragrance?

>>13263315
Lovely cinnamon, tea, green, and wood. I think it's perfect this time of year.

What do you guys think of Armani Privé fragrances?

>>13268676
funny you post that, I was thinking of wearing the same thing to Easter dinner tonight

>>13268614
I haven't but I think this is interesting is fuck

I'm not sure if it makes sense doing alone because of the amounts you buy/need but it would be fun in a group where people share ingredients etc.

Are there any good youtubers about fragrances? I used to watch some reviews and lists back when I was starting on the fragrance game and the only youtuber I can remember that makes good videos is fragranceview

>>13268614
>>13268764
not sure what you mean by making sense doing alone. EOs are powerful and you only need a small quantity. just blend some essential oils in alcohol for spray or fractionated coconut oil to make a roll-on. buy your favorite notes, do a little math to make the concentration (~5% edc, 10-15% edt, 20-30% edp) and experiment.

my results were very amateurish and i often used far too many notes even though it seemed like less compared to most fragrance compositions. natural EOs also are often described as being "brown" or "green" collectively, the projection is rather flat and the longevity short compared to synthetic ingredients.

>>13268818
thanks.

>>13268818

You are confusing EdP with Pure Parfum.

>>13266805
>>13266815

CDNIM is really sour for awhile, and then turns into pretty much plain smokieness. I don't personally enjoy it, and every woman I know doesn't.

IP2 is more fruity, primarily apple, and a very subtle smoke. I think it smells good on other people and other people like it on me, but it's unpleasant to wear due to being screechingly synthetic. Its longevity is also pretty poor.

These two are in no way comparable to Aventus, and you can get way better stuff for an extra $20 or so. I assume most of the people eyeing these are new and are forming judgements from things they see from plebs and shills on YouTube.

If you want something resembling Aventus and really can't afford the real thing, this is a good alternative: https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Parfums-Vintage/Pineapple-Vintage-Intense-45249.html

I am no fragrance expert, but women where I study really do seem to love CDNIM's smell, whatever it is classified as. I usually get lots of compliments, but I recognize that it might have something to do with its uniqueness (even though is a clone, it's a clone of an incredibly unpopular fragrance where I live).

Not that this has anything to do with which one smells closest to Aventus, anyway.

What scent would best represent each team?

>>13268859
Its just like a wrapper the bottle is wrapped in inside the box.

>>13268921
its not very expensive. many 10ml bottles of EO go for $5-10 each

>>13268366
What about the smell though?
>>13268515
Feel free too.

Maybe I need to give them another try but I'm not too impressed by the samples of GIT and Royal Oud I got recently. Neither is very offensive to my nose but neither just kind of wows me the way I would think a fragrance this expensive should.

is there something I'm missing?

>>13268727
Bois d'Encens is the best kept secret of niche perfumery. It's perfection in a bottle. Sublime.

>>13268676
>>13268755

Is this a safe blind buy?

Wait, what team am I?

>>13264264
I think it smells way better than sauvage but obviously sauvage blows it out of the water in performance. I was wearing 2012 but that goes for all 3 versions of DHS.

Sup lads, I’m looking for a really good patchouli-central scent. Something thick and earthy, maybe a little sweet. Price is basically irrelevant, I mostly wear niche stuff anyway.

Best Patchouli scent you can name, throw it at me!

How is Gucci Guilty Pour Homme? Is the regular version or the intense version better?

I currently only have Versace Eros, looking for something to add to my collection.

I was looking at YSL L'homme and Gucci Guilty but they were a little bit too fruity for my tastes

I want something that's not so woody or musky, would love it if there's vanilla but it doesn't matter

>>13269911
ADG Profumo Special Blend

>>13269838
I'd say yes.

>>13269972
It’s basically the same as the original, though, which I thought was only ok. Plus I don’t love incense.

>>13269911
heard good things about patchouli 24

>>13270026
Hmmmm... seems like it’s quite smoky. Not really a fan of smoky scents. I want something more heavy and sticky and earthy, y’know?

>>13270014
I'm just meming, dude

>>13270032
maybe noir patchouli by hdp

>>13269911

My current A-1 patchouli is Zegna Javanese Patchouli. Thick and dank, right in the earthy part of the patch spectrum, with full day longevity and tons of character. Only spilling the beans about it because I have two bottles and am good to go now.

Dior Patchouli Imperial should also be on your list. More or less a patchouli chypre with supporting sandalwood. Ranges from earthy to sweet as the wear progresses. Honestly flawless and the scent that made me fully appreciate patchouli.

Mancera Patchouli Leaves is worth sniffing. Possibly on the sweet side of things depending on what you're after, as it features some vanilla and amber. You do get plenty of the patchouli grunge, though, unlike some other sweet patchouli copouts. Monster longevity and projection. My number three patch but one of my most used as it's so easy to wear.

>>13270058
I’ll give those a look.

Do you (or anyone) know anything about Diptyque Tempo? Looks like it could be right up my alley.

>>13270070
Hadn't heard of it until now but it looks like something I'll be buying soon.

>>13270081
It looks like it could be really good...

Anyone else ever get discouraged when you buy hundreds if not thousands of dollars on fragrances and 90% of your compliments are for dior savauge? Most the the remaining 10% would probably be Allure Sport Eau Extreme. The fragrances I really enjoy never get compliments.

>>13268163

I've never smelled this one but every other John Varvatos I've sampled had the shittiest performance ever. When you say it's strong are you talking sillage? I would be interested in checking this out if it's a Varvatos fragrance that you don't need to reapply every hour.

>>13270108
Nah, I mostly buy what I like. Reality is that if you're cute, a girl will compliment you if she smells it, unless it's vile. So I don't really care too much

Anyone know if Sephora is open on Easter Monday?

>>13267349
how the hell does that happen?

>>13267469
yeah who would want to make millions of dollars a a career? that sounds horrible!

>>13270197
Anon is midway through a yearlong mission aboard the International Space Station. Anon also has a crippling addiction to blind buying fragrances on ebay.

>>13267747
the times i smelled it years ago it smelled horrible, but i should smell it again

i have a $100 debit gift card. what frag can i get online that will fit under that. i live somewhere pretty warm

>>13270281
What do you like?

>>13270301

i bought some ch men and i like it a lot. i feel like i can wear it in any weather and casual situation

Fellows, how is CLEAN as a fragrance brand?

How much money did you spend on bottles you dont even wear?

I have like 6 expensive bottles that I absolutely regret buying. Not like I can resell them nobody wants them. What a waste.

Hey I'm /nopoo/ and want to look for a scent I can wear in my hair any suggestions?

>>13270506
$90 on this shitty montale oud fragrance which gives me the worst headache

>>13270506

I have a few bottles I never wear like L'instant de Guerlain, TF Tuscan Leather, and Zoologist Rhinoceros. They all seemed nice in concept and just ended up smelling like garbage.

>>13270506

basically anything gourmand/oriental/heavy/strong is impossible to wear at any time of year in los angeles except for winter nights. so even though i like the smells there are no opportunities to wear them

this pacific rock moss thing is like the /frag/ version of an industry plant kek

>>13269838
I was very close to blind buying yesterday myself but in the end I decided to wait for tomorrow and just sample it at the store
50 bucks wasted isn't much but still

>>13270506
Nothing so far

Before discovering /frag/ I always only had one bottle, wore it until it was empty and then buy the next one
This might change but I'm still trying to stay away from blind buys for this reason

>>13270108
No.
If you dress and wear fragrances based on what gets you compliments you're the aesthetic equivalent of a yesman; the fuccboi

>>13270197
>>13270217
Well, the last part is true at least.
I'm a student doing his sandwich uni year abroad and so I can't resist spending my first paychecks entirely on fragrances sent back home.

>>13269911
try emilie by cerchi nell'acqua. it's an earthy patchouly with a bit of amber, spices and sweetness

>>13263497
Delet this! Also explains the spinning

>>13270708
*spins towards you menacingly* what do you mean anon?

>>13270735
*spins, claps and points at you* you know what I mean

>>13269416
CDNIM smells exactly like Aventus. Stop trying to justify to yourself spending literally 2000% more on some smelly water.

>>13270898
Yeah, sure.
Also, Xioami is as good as iPhone and there is no reason to spend money on BMW coz you can ride Kia.

>>13271040
>Xioami is as good as iPhone
The new Xiaomis are literally better than the newest iPhone, nice argument lad

What are the most beautiful/ugliest flacons you own anons?

>>13271113
Worst of mine had to be the YSL cylinder. It just looks so ugly to me

got meme'd into buying sauvage. i can barely smell it and when i do it smells like soap

thanks fa

>>13271133
90% of frags eventually end up smelling like soap because soaps copy their scents

anyone got some nice recommendations for aquatic/water fragrances? want stuff as subtle as possible that smells like a sea breeze or as ive read somewhere 'the air after a thunderstorm', even though i can hardly imagine that being a thing

>>13271143
Davidoff Cool Water and Acqua di Gio are the eternal acuatics

>>13271143
odeur 71 for thunderstorm though certainly not subtle

>>13271175
cool water was on my list, sounds nice
>>13271180
will have a look at that, thanks

>>13269745
I see that one mentioned a lot but don't see much mention of the other stuff in the line

>>13271113
i love the dunhill icon bottle i keep it on my night stand as decoration

Hol' the fuck up my dudes
is S a u V Ag e actually just a mEmE???

>>13271411
Yes
I think the skin smell is okay after an hour but the beginning is disgusting to me

I use Drakkar Noir as my daily fragrance. Do I have autism or it is still acceptable?

>>13271571
It's very outdated, but on the other hand, that also makes it uncommon nowadays. Not autistic at all, if you like it keep on using it

>tfw constantly refreshing your tracking info to see if your frag is here yet

Existence is suffering.

>>13271697
I try to order new frags in between sampling sessions or something. I have something coming from decantshop right now though, so I'm kind of itching even though I have PLENTY of shit.

>>13271699
I just got a bottle last week. Still hype as fuck. I even woke up early just in case the courier was retarded and didn’t deliver it to the concierge like they’re supposed to.

>>13271411

>Compliment and pussy magnet
>On /fa/ - "It's a meme bro, don't touch that trash"

>Something which is literally the distilled piss of some old French dude i.e. Anything from Guerlain
>/fa/ - "Utter perfection"

Really makes you think.

>>13271756
>Compliments and "pussy" as a measure for how good a frag is
You're not gonna make it robot :((((((

>>13271685
thank you very much

It’s here!

>>13271756
sauvage smells like piss though. It doesn't matter how many girls would compliment me wearing it, I'm still not going to wear it just so girls will "talk to me pls notice me"

I'd rather a girl like what I like and then we can have a mutual interest instead

>>13271815

lol

>>13271815

>buying bdc at 4 times the price

>>13271756

guerlain have released the most important fragrances in history thou. you just don't have the IQ to understand them

>>13271882
That’s the cologne, the parfum is completely different. Also, I got it at less than half retail.

>>13263427
Thanks for the review.

>>13263497
That kind of just makes him more endearing to me desu. He's obviously talented.

>>13263497
what anime is this?

>>13272057

>>13263485
I took a bottle of eros and polo red with me on a vacation to Peru. I went on a few dates. But got laid the day I put on Eros. Shit was dope senpai

>>13264637
John Varvatos Artisan Pure

I like it a lot, but I don't think it's as appreciated as much by others as Dior Savuage EdP and ADG Profumo.

>>13264637
GIT is the most iconic spring scent imo

>>13272294
Ok, but what if he’s under 40?

>>13272301
this meme only exists in this thread. No normie will smell GIT and think "wow lol nice scent grandpa xD"

>>13272307
But GIT was made for Cary Grant!

If I went light application wise can I wear Man in Black year round?

>>13271756
Joke's on you, I have insider information that S A U V A G E is more than 40% concentration distilled Johnny Depp piss

Otherwise known as Pirate Piss

>>13266301
Gucci Pour Homme II
Acqua di Gio
Terre D'Hermes
Dior Homme

These won't break your wallet and are some of my faves for the seasons. They aren't particularly unique but you don't need to worry about that much at most colleges

>decide to go to the mall and try Eros because of the memes
>Try it and it's actually not bad
>Very strong sweet scent
>Lady at the counter sprayed it on my wrist
>Can smell it very clearly from that all the way back to work and at work
>Female co-worker asks me who I'm trying to impress with my scent and says it's really nice
>Mfw

I use Acqua Di Gio normally and hear nothing about it so thinking of actually picking up Eros sometime

>>13272543
Eros honestly is pretty good, and this is coming from someone who uses almost exclusively niche scents.

People say “don’t wear sauvage, everyone has it you’ll smell like everyone else” but realistically how many people (specifically men) actually use fragrance? Especially considering I’m in my early twenties. I never really smell sauvage where I’m from. Same with Dylan blue and that one is supposed to be super popular.

>>13272640
Not many, to be honest. Maybe some have a bottle they bought like 10 years ago that they wear on dates, but I’d say a fairly small percentage of men wear fragrance regularly.

>>13272640
depends entirely where you live. If you're in lower Manhattan, probably a lot of men are wearing (some) cologne and a lot of them are possibly wearing Sauvage. This is particularly apparent when you go to clubs or active bars and you can tell most men there are wearing the same 2-3 trendy club fragrances of the year/season.

>>13272640
Just like the other anon said, your location matters. Going to the city means I'll smell it several times during the day, going out at night is even worse

>>13264637
>>13272294
Original Vetiver is more fun than GIT and plenty sophisticated on its own.

>>13271143
I love Oud Minerale, works well for me

One thing worth noting: while not that many guys actually wear fragrance, a lot of them do wear the same popular scents. This is because they usually don’t know fragrance very well and just buy whatever the girl at Sephora (who is probably getting told to push certain scents) tells them is good.

This is why scents like Sauvage, BDC, etc are so common. Most guys don’t give a fuck and just want something that smells generically nice, and just buy the first thing they’re shown.

>>13272640
almost every guy in a club will have some type of cologne or perfume on, and that's where most of the morons who shill sauvage are going to use it.

>>13271143
CK2 has an interesting "wet stone" accord that makes me think of being poolside on a spring day.

>>13272085
Why does /frag/ have so many resident sex tourists?
