/fa/ - Fashion

>>13362978

Been wearing this for a few days now. Not typically into fruity florals, but the angelica and tuberose give this a different vibe.

5-6 hours of strong projection, and lasts for 10-12 hours.

CDNI is fucking garbage. I use it as an air freshener after I take a shit. That is the only value I can get from it. I dont understand how anyone could want to smell like that. Anyone who thinks it is actually close to Aventus needs to fuck off because this thread is for those with a sense of smell.

Let's continue! Post your sotd lads!

Posted about it past thread, but this is mine. This is an amazing aquatic. The only aquatics I own are amongst waves and special blend, usually just not my favorite scent. Always reminds me of a swamp or something.

This is like a cool, floral breeze by the ocean. It's what I imagine a mountain range next to a beach might smell like. Really great overall, and lasts a long time.

>>13363010

Still wearing this. Going out tonight so might put a little more on but for the most part the performance is great.

Everyone says club de nuit great, great reviews in fragrantica and youtube perfume channels
Everyone say the drydown is so manly

Can /fa/ confirm?

>>13363027
babby's first attempt at bait

What is the most androgynous fragrance I can spray on me?

>>13363003
>air freshener after I take a shit. That is the only value I can get from it.

Im gonna try sell my bottle best I can.
Using it as air freshener is too expensive for me and I would just feel sick in my stomage everytime I go inside the bathroom

>>13363034
Anything from Tom Ford that isn't Tuscan Leather, Tobacco Vanille, Tobacco Oud, or Oud Wood.

Wore this today in 85 degree weather. Most Varvatos frags have piss poor longevity, but this one got me 7+ hours and was noticed / complimented well after lunch. Not bad! It's a lush smelling woody citrus with an unusual opening. Very fresh, and a suitable replacement for more expensive and generic stuff like Mandarino di Amalfi.

>>13363034
>>13363038
Oh, and Joop.

>>13363039
Most Varvatos frags really do have piss poor longevity. Its a shame really, if Vintage lasted longer it would be such a monster. I get so many complements on it in the short time it stays.

>>13363010

What does cinnamon say in a fragrance?

>>13363003
Lmao, keep coping. Buyers remorse on your $400 bottle of perfume? You sound super mad.

>>13363050
If you're over 160 pounds, slightly hairy, have facial hair, can fish or do home repairs, then it says "I'm a man of passion" but if you're under 160 pounds, have no muscle or manly skills, or are a twink then it says "I'm probably gay"

> no erosposter in sight yet
> club de nuit shitposting
Have I missed something? Been busy these couple of days.

>>13363055
The Eros Poster retired officially, the CDNI poster has started his new campaign ever since The Eros Poster stopped guarding us from the CDNI poster's sinful ways.

Blind buy. it was cheap. Did I make a mistake?

>>13363055

No more Eros Billy, you been away a long time, they didn't go up there and tell you

>>13363059
Tf is wrong with you, if you like it great, if it nit it was a mistake. Fuck off.

>>13363070
Lol this literally gave no insight.

>>13363071
Whether or not it was a good buy is SUBJECTIVE

Pineapple Vintage X Batch is fucking great. It and Pineapple Vintage Intense are my two favorite scents for the heat.

>>13363059
I wouldn't have put it as harshly as the other Anon did, but yeah, Its subjective. Its up to you if you like something or if something works on your skin.

>>13363082
I prefer intense, I usually wear it on cool nights or at work occasionally. Ladies love it.

I wore CDNIM today, got told I smell great by a female coworker. I dunno, I have pleb taste and like Fierce, Sauvage, Invictus, Fuel For Life too but this stuff seems to work real nice

>>13363089
It's basically an aventus clone, but it smells fruitier and fresher. I actually prefer it to Aventus. Then again, I prefer Tres Nuit to GIT, aside from the shitty performance, so I might just have a pleb nose.

I read people hating club de nuit first time they smell it and then suddenly love it later

And it even happened to me now
I sprayed on my clothes and skin and hated the smell earlier today
Now before sleep i sprayed on a piece of cotton fabric and when i berry my nose in it and take a deep inhale it feel pretty Good. The lemon isnt as bad as before

How is this possible?

>>13362989

This is a mans thread

>>13363113
False.

>>13363113
It's a unisex fragrance that can easily be worn by a man. Are you insecure, anon?

>>13363105
Yeah no shit it's a clone, genius.

>>13363109
Why don't you educate yourself on how frags work.

>>13363118
>The point of that post was to say it's a clone
>Not that I prefer it based on the few differences

>>13363120

How do they work? Is it supposed to smell like shit the first time you smell it? So everyone you pass who hasnt smelt ur cologne before will think you smell like shit until they get used to the smell?

>>13363109
Residual Aventus on clothes deeeeep into the drydown is 10/10 for sure

>>13363129
Keep working on your grammar pajeet, perhaps one day you will reincarnate as a mighty white man.

Has CDNMI replaced Eros/Sauvage posting or something?

>>13363129
Club de nuit isn't a cologne, it is in fact an EDT.

>>13363070
>Tf is wrong with you
Tom Ford is wrong with him?

>>13363141
Yeah basically.

>>13363027

It's trash. Those reviews are poor people in denial.

>>13363113
I for one would really like to see more Women's fragrances.
I'm curious about what the females here are wearing

>>13363034

Bvlgari Black

>>13363159
My wife bought flower bomb and shalimar recently, they are solid picks.

>>13363158
Let's see your collection, fag.

>>13363141
>47 posts and only 16 posters

You're not fooling anybody

>>13363027
Can we do something about this samefag? He's fucking up the thread with his pleb taste.

Just save your money and buy Aventus

Seriously

>>13363176
What if I don't want to smell like Aventus 24/7? Its a fine frag and probably the king of all frags but it doesn't fit everyone.

>>13363179

It's still 100x better than CDNI.

>>13363182
Yeah, it is. What are the top three frags in your opinion?

Mine would have to be Amouage Reflection Man, Creed Aventus, and Tom Ford Noire Extreme.

>>13363163
i got a flower bomb knockoff for my gf just for fun, and we were both wheezing

>>13363183

Aqua di gio, le male, and club de nuit

>>13363172
Only the first two are me.

>>13363187
And?

>>13363070
This thread is already off to shit

>>13363188
I hear so much about Aqua di Gio yet I've never tried it. I'll have to give it a go. Le Male never sit well with me. It smelled like Irish Spring on me at first but then smelled like Cat Piss.

Damn, /frag/ has really been overtaken by genuine Jeremy viewers. You have to think most of these guys are underage.

Actually looking forward to smelling this. I thought the edt and edp smelled nice enough but not so much that I felt like buying them, especially cause I constantly hear what awful performance they have. But if this is an even deeper, rounder version of Bleu with decent performance I'll probably cop a bottle.

This is a criminally underrated scent

>>13363228
huh, it's actually got the little cartoon poofer thing. Neat.

>>13363228
Only some limited edition one they sold had that sort of sprayer. People said that sprayer was shit though. It comes with just a black cap.

Need a clean work scent for the summer.
Needs to be very inoffensive but at the same time very fresh (Not citrusy tho).

Was thinking this or Prada L'homme, thoughts?

We have no more Eros-poster, but gained CDNI-posters and EDT vs EDP-posters. Nuke this thread already

>>13363223
is this out yet?
my searches are just bringing up the edp so i'm guessing not

>>13363253
Grey Vetiver, Terre D'Hermes, Dior Sauvage

>>13363258
Really hard search.

https://www.chanel.com/en_US/fragrance-beauty/fragrance-bleu-de-chanel-bleu-de-chanel-143099/sku/143100

>>13363261
suck my dick bitch
(i only looked on sephora lol)

>>13363259
Isn't Terre D'Hermes like 90% Orange?

>>13363258

In Burgerland - yes.

>Releasing 1st June in Bongland

Got the wood sample frags from Ds Durga on blind buy. Just realized I lack the social life to try them out and see how people react.

>>13363264
Just read the citrusy part my bad. I wouldn't say 90% percent more like 50%. If you don't want citrus I also wouldn't recommend Grey Vetiver. It is also about 50% citrus. They are both great scents though, not generic at all and last a good while.

I just discovered fragrancebuy. Holy shit these guys have better deals then fragrancenet and have a much better selection.

>>13363289
I score most good deals through them and MaxAroma.

copped this as a blind impulse buy from TJ Maxx, came with the 100 ml plus a smaller travel size for $50 total. I wasn't expecting to care for it, but it was a good price and I haven't bought a fresh fragrance in a while. I get the comparisons to BdC and DS, but I honestly like it better than both of them. I guess it may be redundant if you already have one of those in your collection, but if you're looking for something along those lines but don't want to smell exactly like everyone else, this is honestly a surprisingly decent option.

>>13363289
I buy mainly through frag buy and frag x, good experiences with both.

bought the Bleu de Chanel Parfum
comes friday

excited

>>13363258
Wearing for the second time tonight. It's exactly what you expect, another step in the same direction taken by the EdP. Performance is very pleasing, even from a brand new bottle, and should only get stronger.

I copped the CdG Kyoto for the winter and was hooked, anyone know a frag similar to that?

>>13362978
What fragrances remind you of "White"? What fragrances would be considered white, vanilla, creamy, plain, or snow?

>>13363330
Silver Mountain Water

>>13363293
fag fragrance. this faggot at work wore some version of "blue" fragrance ie sauvage or bdc or dylan. it smells so juvenille

>>13363330
mandarino di amalfi acqua
>>13363373
yea smells like the area between my balls and leg

>>13363330
lalique white, jean paul gaultier gautier2

>>13363330
Dior Fahrenheit 32

>>13363381
Sauvage is supposed to be worn when going out and having a good time not necessarily work, BdC is more mature than Sauvage and more office friendly but Dylan Blue is an actual gay fragrance, watch the Dylan Blue ad by Versace and see what I mean, its actually meant for gay men.

>>13363183
Reflection Man, Creed MI, Hanae Mori HiM

Alright lads, this might be asking a lot, but I've got a request - what is the most "twink" frag you can think of. Like, when you think of the word "twink," what fragrance comes to mind? Unironically asking for a friend

>>13363468
Hanae Mori is a nice choice that most people don't bring up.

>>13363510
Joop by Joop, Chanel No 5, Fucking Fabulous by Tom Ford.

>>13363517

I blind bought that stuff and hate it. It smells like lemon and cake batter. Way too sweet for me

>>13363510

Bvlgari Black if you can find it.

>>13363530
Yeah, I think it depends on the personality of the person and their skin chemistry. I can't stand the smell of Le Male, Cool Water, and a couple of other fragrances that most people seem to like on my skin.

wtf I love Eros now

>>13363381
smells like cheap Axe

>>13363567

Too late. Nobody gives a fuck.

>>13363324
if you liked the incense note try the rest of the incense series, avignon is basically the reference fragrance for incense. other incense+tree combos include: SL fille en aiguilles, by kilian incense oud, slumberhouse norne, tauer incense extreme, montale probably has a good one but im not terribly familiar with their line

cdg hinoki and wonderwood have cypress as a supporting note.

sycomore is also a superb combination of cypress and vetiver. vetiver has a more fuzzy, grassy feel in my nose. if thats the part of kyoto you like i have some vetiver recs i could give too

>>13363568
as opposed to high end Axe?

>>13363517
I own HiM EDT as well as Gucci PH2. I actually enjoy him more. It performs much better, and I love it's drydown more. Lately I've been layering the two and it's top shit m8.

>>13363651
That work in the summer?

>>13363672
Dunno, didn't own them last summer. It's been in the 70s this week and no complaints. The green tea from GPH2 keeps it fresh enough. Very nice combo.

>>13363567
Stop, erosposter retired in the last thread. Give up, imposter scum

>>13363280
Bowmakers is amazing, been thinking about buying a ful bottle of it myself.

Thoughts on this?

>>13363330

How does mixing dior homme intense and parfum in like a 1:3-4 ratio sound

>>13363880

Someone brought my club de nuit bottle today

I only lost like 20 euros on the blind buy (big bottle)

But now someone else will suffer the curse

Are there any fragrances that smell like opening a starter deck?

>>13363928

MONSTER CARDO

>>13363885
it will comes back to haunt you.

>>13363928
Honestly, i've been looking for that pokemon/card game smell too. I think Invictus Aqua has it

>>13363293
>>13363381
>>13363393
OG dylan blue is gay memeposter here. The meme itself originates from one anon's plight who blind bought a 3.4oz bottle that he used as an office scent garnering compliments from other males until her female boss asked him to stop using it as she found it cloying and offensive.
I'm saddened to see what started as ironic shitposting about vdb being the homosex equivalent of sauvage based on the Bruce Weber commercial is now used to shit on people who enjoy this legit good fragrance and take the effort to write a nice, non-cringe review about it.

>>13364042
The problem is the general went too meme. People are more concerned with shilling their new purchase and dumping Creed/cdnim/Dylan blue/sauvage/Eros memes than having any discussion at all.
Summer sucks.

What the best fragrance to get a fat bald guy some pussy?

>>13364095

nightclub by armaf

>>13363618
Bottles of old axe actually goes for a pretty high premium. The originals got reformulated in 2006

>>13364095
lose weight

>>13364095

They ignore you normally, wearing good frag will draw their attention to you and they will look at you with disgust and then wishper to their friends that good smell is coming from that nasty fat guy

>been wearing frags for 10 year
>one and only time ever someone gave me a compliment was years ago from some 70 year old women when waiting for the bus
>I was wearing paul smith optimistic

>>13364302
>tfw you keep buying new bottles even though you haven't used the last 5 you bought more than once or twice
>tfw your autism wont let you buy anything but the biggest available bottle because it's best value/ml even though you will never finish them

>sweater related

>>13364336
Sell decants.

>>13364060
This x10000. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: there is a time and place for memes. You use them when they’re appropriate. You don’t just force them, because then you’re just shitposting, and when everyone just shitposts when get shit threads. Memes should be used in moderation, but no, everyone’s got to be a comedian.

>>13363567
>fake Erosposter

Terrible!

>>13364336
Thankfully I'm not a size king anymore. I buy 100 ml testers if they are the same price, but now that I have so many bottles, I realize I probably won't get through any of them anytime soon, so I just opt for the 50 ml whenever it's available.

I wasn't planning on buying anything actually, but fragrancebuy restocked Ultra Zest and I've been itching to pick it up for the summer.

>>13364262
I get complements on Dior Homme on a daily basis.

>>13364336
>>13364375
>tfw your fragrance backlog is looking like your Steam backlog

Is Intense Cafe a good entry to niche frags? Since I want something bold yet inviting.

>>13363159

>females here

>>13364336
>tfw your autism wont let you buy anything but the smallest available bottle even though it's the worst value/ml because you're paranoid about getting a fake

>>13364465
Fragrance is a terrible hobby for those on the autism spectrum. If you're that paranoid about fakes
just buy large bottles at Harrod's or wherever. Big reputable retail stores.

>>13364262
You need to apply more, like that melinated YouTube reviewer says. If you're currently doing two sprays, up it to four. Can't be shy about wearing scent. You gotta own it.

>>13364474
It's also a terrible hobby if you have no self control with money. At least it's fun though

>>13364497
One of the major failures of high school educators is to kill home economics courses. Budgeting with excel sheets is a blessing.

Guerlain Vetiver or Grey Vetiver?

>>13364658
Guerlain vetiver. Despite being a mature frag I get lots of compliments.

>>13364658
Grey Vetiver by a country mile. Guerlain smells disgusting to my nose, but Grey Vetiver has a nice balance of vetiver and citrus.

70% online sold fragrances are fake

>>13364700
100% of statistics posted online are 37% accurate.

>>13364705
If you bought your fragrance online you are wearing rat piss you fuck nugget

>>13364700
A. You pulled that out of your ass,
B. While I have no doubt that a huge number of fragrances sold online are fake, that’s still misleading. If you use the proper sites, you’re not getting fakes. Those statistics are inflated because sites like eBay and Amazon make up such a massive percentage of online purchases and both of those sites are notorious for bootleg goods of all kinds.

If you’re buying fragrances off FragranceBuy, fragrancenet, luckyscent, etc., you’re not getting fakes.

>>13364710
Go back to posting about cdni

To be fair as long as you know how to date the perfume and how their looks have changed over time in terms of packaging (depending on how "vintage" the perfume you are looking for is), you can safely determine whether something is authentic.

>>13364658

Neither.

Roja Parfums Vetiver Extrait

>>13364642
Teach me senpai

>>13364874

*Robertet's

>>13364658
I like both, but I'd lean towards grey vetiver

Give guerlain vetiver extreme a try though. Easily my personal favorite of a straight vetiver scent

>>13363010
Wearing this. Been a while, wanted to give it a fairer shot since when I tried it when I was younger, it was the sharpest citrus imaginable.

Gotta say, i kinda like it. My nose picks up a lot more of the floral and greens in it. Not sure if my nose is better or my changed, but it's not too bad. Not sure if I wanna cop though

Hey guys I'm about to pull the trigger on CDNIM. What do you guys think of it?

Which one is better overall VIW, Royal oud or Royal water?

>>13364915
Don't bro, CDNMI is a harsh lemony mess!

>>13364915

Don't do it.

Buy the real thing and fragrance of kangz n' sheeeeit.

so I've literally never had a stranger ask me about my fragrance before, but since I received my sample of this I've worn it 3 times and it's happened every time, 5 times in total. all have been female and a couple of them seemed legitimately taken aback, gobsmacked by the scent

the fuck is it with this stuff? I personally like it, but it's nothing too special

Anyone anons into layering here? Often looked down upon even by aficionados, I find it to be the most exalted way of wearing a fragrance, given it's done in a proper manner. In the following I'll share five of my most successful creations. They are not meant to be olfactory fashion accessories, nor do they aim at pleasing people in general. Instead, they are veritable odeurs d'art, evocating unusual, at times outright disturbing sensations, situations and characters.
Cat hoarder: Salvador Dali pour Homme layered with Serge Lutens Mucs Koublai Khan
Dresden 1945: Farina 1709 layered with Olivier Durbano Black Tourmaline
Instawhore in Arabia: Chanel Eau Tendre (2/4) layered with Montale Aoud Cuir d'Arabie (1/4) and Etat Libre d'Orange Secretions Magnifiques (1/4)
Migrant vessel incident on the Mediterranean Sea: Caron Yatagan (1/5) layered with BeauFort 1805 Tonnere (1/5) and Eau d'italie Jardin du Poete (3/5)
Scandal in the Vatican: Guerlain Petit Guerlain (2/3) layered with Amouage Jubilation XXV (1/3)

Are Cool Water flankers any good?

How strong is Musc Ravageur? I want something that projects and lasts but isn't A* Men/Joop tier.

I feel like I might start buying at the store instead of online even though there's less of a discount. I was buying Prada l'homme and I got a bunch big samples, and a nice Prada travel pouch

>>13365067
Don’t layer. It’s an insult to the artisans who studied there whole lives to be able to create the perfect scents for you to wear.

>>13365183

Oxymoron~

Is it true that most brands make their profits from their fragrances?

Where do you guys sell frags that didnt work out for you?
Is ebay good?

>>13363721
>He doesn't know I'm the original Eros poster
>The other anon was a new fag

>>13365395
if u are in germany avoid ebay etc to sell parfum. there are company lawyers literally searching the whole day for used parfums soled by private persons or non private. they let you pay 1000 dollars and u get sued for another 500000 if u break this "law" again. in germany lawyer companies are pretty strong and some companies are just living of sueing private people for basicly nothing. not all parfum companies do it but some do so its not worth the risk for me anymore.
t. somebody who once wanted to sell a used but original boss bottled parfume and got almost sued and a warning from ebay to never do illegal shit again.

>>13365521
Huh?

>>13365521
Jesus fire your government already, Hans.

>>13365536
he's saying perfumers monitor ebay for people selling old bottles of fragrance, samples, potentially fakes, and etc on ebay. the sellers are fined $1000. if the offending party sells again the perfumer sues the seller for $500,000 in damages

>>13364993
saffron is an excellent note and relatively rare in fragrance, especially mens. saffron is an aromatic gourmand ingredient too, people might have their attention captured by something that reminds them of food they've had but cant place as immediately as vanilla or cinnamon, for example. it also might just project more powerfully than other fragrances in your collection

>>13365550
Yeah but how is that a law?

>>13364336
>tfw you've bought more bottles in the past 30 days (24) than most anons have in their entire collection
I'm finally cutting myself off. I have backup bottles for my backup bottles. It's seriously time to stop expanding the collection and just appreciate what I have.

>>13365589
I have a little over 300 bottles, I started selling decants to fuel my frag game.

>>13365521
woowwwwwwwwwwww
how is that illegal????

Thoughts on Escentric Molecules? Not necessarily a particular fragrance, but the house in general. Every review of them I've seen turns into a longwinded debate on whether or not their frags even have a scent. Is this some kind of Emperor wears no clothes scam?

>>13365594
I'm at 225 now and should really start building reputation as a decant merchant myself. I'm already scenting up everybody I know and work with so I have hundreds of 3ml vials lying around. Do most people advertise and sell via Basenotes?

>>13365599
Well, the thing is, many people are anosmic to particular molecules. I can’t smell ISO E Super, for example, so for me, Molecule 01 does have zero scent. If you can smell the molecule in question, it’s not a scam.

>>13365601
I do most of my business through my facebook group honestly. That would be a good place to start though. You can also claim a percentage of your home and other things come tax time.

>>13364993
What does it smell like anon? It's toward the top of my IA list to try

>>13365561
i dont know about german law, and the guy is probably exaggerating and passing on rumours, but i imagine there is probably some copyright law brands are abusing to protect their bottom line. the fine should come through government though, otherwise its a scam, or intimidation from other ebay resellers

>>13365621
Is it a local thing? How would one go about finding someone who does local decants?

>>13365669
not necessarily. Most people selling decants on facebook seem to be willing to do it via mail. What's more important is finding someone who is reputable within any given community. Most fragrance reviewers have facebook groups. That's probably a good place to start.

I got a sample of L'Air du Desert Marocain and I like it but find that it's just a bit feminine. How is Au Coeur du Desert in comparison?

>>13365601
a word of advice from someone who decanted bottles to trim my collection: it is worth it to get syringes. a lot of decanters suggest spraying right from the bottle into the vial with a half-spray to get a stream instead of a spray, but i dont know how they tolerate it desu. some bottles the button doesnt really work so easily, it can a few tries to get it right, you miss alignment into the new bottle, and all the misfires end up fumigating your house for the next day and half. syringe is simple, precise, faster, and less messy. you can order from online medical supply shops easily, get a larger gauge needle.

The perfume lady showed me some spicebomb.
I wasn't sure but at the end of the day I kinda liked it.
I didn't note the exact version.
Anyone has a preferred version?

>>13365738
I tried using a syringe, it worked fine on adg profumo the first time, then a few times on cdnim. Now my cdim sprayer which was horrible before anyways is messed up even more and I cant get anything out with a syringe anymore. Now Im scared to use it on more expensive bottles. What gauge is your needle and how do you do it exactly?

>>13365844
dont use the same syringe on different bottles, youll contaminate the fragrance. also dont decant unless you plan to dispose the bottle. i remove the entire atomizer mechanism entirely and draw from the bottom of the bottle with the syringe. in some instances i hadto use a pliers to mangle aluminum off the glass bottle. whenever i decanted i split my fragrance between 10ml, 5ml, and 2.5ml vials. i kept a couple 10ml vials for myself and sold the others. i used a 15 gauge at least, maybe 10? order some in different sizes and see which one works

>>13365863
Use a pipe cutter to take it off, much cleaner and easier.

>>13365863
Why not just use pipettes? Much easier and cheaper.

>>13365944
Not all caps screw off, genius.

>>13363034
Patou pour homme

>>13365944
ive used both and prefer the syringe. cheaper yes, easier probably not. the plunger is more precise and quicker than squeezing drops from the pipette

>>13365599
I got Molecule 01, I quite like it, seems like something you'd wear when it's too hot to wear anything else. It smells light pleasantly woody. I payed 30eu for a 100ml from some guy that tought he got memed or something or just didn't care. However 80eu or whatever they ask for it retail is ridiculous.
I guess the rest of their fragrances are of the same kind.

>>13365624
it's a very realistic, spicy saffron with a hint of tart red apples and soft leather. I don't get any of the rose, to be honest. The benzoin does come through in the mid and it's unusually camphor-like to me. Like the sticky, herbal quality of camphor without the sharpness

it's my favourite IA

>>13364959
Different fragrances for different occasions.
VIW is a summer vacation type of fragrance, Royal Water is more of a formal summer fragrance, while Royal Oud is better suit for cold weather.
VIW and RO are more acclaimed but RW is good on its own and can underline your individuality because of its uncommonness.
I'd probably put Royal Oud on number one spot, but it's pretty close between these three.

>>13365635
im not exaggerating. their is a list of small"laws" they got when they sued sellers like notino. these cases are used now as example cases to fine all people braking their laws. we have a great surplus of lawyers in general so many lawyer companies live of that model not only parfumes but illegal streaming etc. sometimes they even make honeypots

>>13365539
we cant. the voter base consists of old people, women and imigrants. and the media is stalin orchestra

>>13365595
as a private person you would like 80 percent win the process. they just sue people en masse. and tell u you if u dont pay immidiatly but sue them back they would fine u a much higher price instead. so ofc almost everybody pays

and in germany the government doesnt need to sue you for it being legal. like i said lawyer companies can sue any private person because they are seen as protector of law. they can also just call a provider asking for a name belonging to an ip adress and the provider gives it to them. we have pretty shitty law in some areas, its even legal for our city governments to sell our private data we are forced to give them to private companies

How many sprays and where?

>>13366135
Thanks for the input anon, I will problably get the RO indeed first and the others after as decants. Honestly liked them all.

>>13366249
6-8 sprays on neck

>>13366249
neck - back left right
wrists
chest
Amount of sprays depend on the fragrance and the atomizer.
>inb4 that armpit guy

>>13366259
RO drydown is godly

>>13366249
Knee backs and navel.

>>13366249
1-2 on chest
1-3 on neck

5 max at any given time, depending on frag

I'm getting Aria di Capri by Carthusia, is it too feminine or am I good?

>>13364336
dumb kumiko

>>13365183
I hate this guy so much. I can't even put my finger on why, doesn't seem like he's a prick

>>13366249
I usually do 1 on each side of my neck, and then one on the chest if it isn't a heavy projector.

>>13366428
pls no booli

>>13365747
Go back and ask her to try what ones they have on card and decide then?

>>13366249

I usually do like 5 all in the front/back neck area. I won't leave the house as soon as I apply. I'll let it dry down a bit because that first half hour can be overwhelming for people around you.

>>13366520
Yeah, I dunno. Jeremy seems like a pretty good dude, he’s obviously knowledgeable (though it often doesn’t come across in his vids), but something about him... I dunno. If I didn’t know better, I’d almost think he had a touch of the ‘tism sometimes.

>>13366175
they dont sue en masse. they threaten to sue en masse.
>send 1000 letters demanding €1000 or lawsuit
>300 ppl pay, 700 ignore that garbage
>just earned €300.000 lmao

its basically a scam. imagine studying law for years just to earn your living parting fools from their money. not a very fulfilling existence

>Wow...i mean this is amazing if you want women to be obssessed by you during summer, you NEED this fragrance, it is a masterpiece, if anyone is interested I have a almost a full bottle 99% full with the original box, just message me, dont get me wrong i need money right now otherwise I would have kept this gem

Can you trust buying a fragrance with a comment like this?

What does civet smell like? I read frags like kouros yves saint have civet as top note

>>13366800

Legit civet when dosed properly is more warm and has a nice effect to florals, especially when used in a parfum concentration. When used in lighter concentrations and is more diffusive, it can smell slightly pissy, but not really in a bad way.

Synth civet tends to be sharper and actually more "animalic" by comparison, far less smooth. If it isn't used judiciously it can throw everything out of balance.

This applies to tincture used in fragrances, raw civet paste and civet absolute itself is extremely feral, the way it is tinctured and how diluted you make it can vary the pleasantness drastically.

>>13362978
Can I get a rec on a “blue” animalistic fragrance? Something like Versace Eau Fraiche, Dylan Bleu, Bleu De Chanel, Gucci Pour Homme II, something along these lines with more bite? like a spicy fresh.

>>13366520
too in love with himself and he does some cringy stuff like gif related.

>>13366520
He is actually on the autism spectrum. You can tell, he is a good guy but he is a bit cringey. Once you accept that he’s somewhat off then he becomes more lovable like a cringey large fragrance reviewing puppy.

>>13366944
See, I always thought he was on the spectrum too. Not sure what it is, but he just seems a bit off somehow. I notice it more when he talks to guys. With girls he seems perfectly Chadly, but with guys he seems very awkward.

>>13366964

inb4 He has a "coming out" episode

>>13366974
He already reviewed Dylan Blue, though.

>>13366944
I don’t know about that. The dude used to be a german “pop star”.
I think he’s more of a chad who wants to please to dorky kids and fails cutely.

Like a model who suddenly laughs at a fart joke.

I can't decide between Burberry London or Spicebomb as a terrorwave scent... I want something strong and laden with tobacco

>>13367268

>>13366917
Those are all different, stop trying to use buzzwords (eg blue) whenyou don't know what they mean cause you look like a faggot

>>13367291
I used blue to mean fresh. Like blue waters, you are an asshole.

>>13366668
>, I’d almost think he had a touch of the ‘tism sometimes.
i thought the same.

>>13363176

Irony is that I work at a grocery store, I'm around a TON of women (customers and employees), and the funny as shit thing is I've gotten more positive complements wearing a cheap bottle of Calvin Klein's Escape then I did for fucking Aventus, however Escape is a EDT so it ain't really worth a shit long-term and Aventus lasts several hours on me.

>>13366249

Depends. With Aventus I do 3-4 MAX because that shit strong. With cheaper shit I might do 5-7. I wear Dolce Gabbana The One a lot and usually do 5-6 with it. sides neck, back neck, shoulders, and then right wrist since you know I might run my fingers through a woman's hair and that scent will hit her when i do.

>>13366917
You could give mid-1990's fresh spicy orientals a try, Nikos Sculpture, Paloma Picasso Minotaure, Versace The Dreamer all fit the bill. Be warned though, they had all been R E F O R M U L A T E D.

>>13367414
Thank you. I appreciate it.

Cool Water is a really nice scent but performance is practically non-existant; 2 hours and it was hardly noticeable. Is this normal?

>>13367460
I would avoid sculpture, its very one dimensional to my nose, at least it was a cheap mistake, though

>>13367268
>terrorwave scent
Look no further than a cheap ass EDP called Arabi Cana by Kolmaz (what I presume is some middle eastern garage company) if you want to project an Afghan rebel/Balkans warlord vibe. It smells like cigarette tobacco, cheap booze, mj, and heavily worn leather boots.

Can you recommend me a nice summer fragrance? For reference, I loved Imperial Millisime's salty and sweet mix but I wouldn't pay that much for a frag that only lasts 2-3 hours. Eau d'Issey smells like old man detergent to me, and Acqua di Gio smells douchey.

My other frags are Bleu de Chanel, Aventus and Tuscan Leather.

>>13365555
this makes sense. I think I should try out some saffron frags.. You guys have any suggestions?

>>13362978
What are your thoughts on Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Tom Ford patchouli absolu?

>>13367617
If you're especially peeved by poor performance I'd recommend staying away from citruses. Note de Yuzu by Heeley is the longest lasting citrus I've tried, pushing 6 hours, but I wouldn't personally recommend the scent. Very much a synthetic, cleaning product smell to me.

Look into freshy fruits instead, or lighter florals if you don't find them too feminine. I'd recommend Philosykos or Olfactive Studios Flashback for fruits and Fort and Manle Fatih Sultan Mehmed or Dusita Erawan for florals.

Tackiest bottle since Bleecker Street.

>>13367791
I like them. Scent looks interesting, too.

I've decided to get one of them, but I can't decide which one. please help

>>13367718
safran troublant, dries van noten for frederic malle, scent by theo fennel (discontinued but vials still available on grey markets)

Just giving my 2 cents on CDNI. I have a 2015 bottle of Aventus and was curious what the difference was to the most popular clone. I ordered a bottle for 30 bucks and immediately hated the harsh initial blast but the dry down was very similar to Aventus with a little more of a synthetic-ness but the killer was the performance wasn't close. I can get good projection with Aventus for like 8 hours but only like 2 hours with CDNI. I probably won't use the stuff much and will just bite the bullet and get another bottle of Aventus.

>>13367617

Have you tried ADG Profumo. The added spice and patchouli might help the douche association you have to it.

>>13367825
ore is quite unique. if you like the honey+tobacco combination that has had a few other interpretations worth sampling before buying. back to black, chergui, fumerie turque, pure havane, journey woman

Asked my girlfriend what she thought of some different frags I have. She is a total pleb when it comes to this stuff so I thought it was funny.

The good:
La Nuit de L’Homme
>smells like my laundry detergent
Aventus
>delicious
Tuscan Leather
>Drake has a song about it
Le Labo Bergamote 22
>smells like an orange peel

The bad:
Le Labo Vetiver 46
>cardboard or cheap wood
Le Labo The Noir 29
>fig newtons
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
>alcohol
Tom Ford Oud Wood
>weird
Tom Ford Tobacco Oud Intense
>60 year old man
Tom Ford Italian Cypress
>90 year old man
Green Irish Tweed
>landscapist

So should I break up with her?

>>13367834
I can get 8 hours with cdni 4 sprays, late 2017 batch.

>>13367861
no you should get some good fragrances

>>13367875
>wear sauvage and Eros!!

>>13367862

I can probably get 8 hours out of it to but after 2-3 hours it's a very close to the body scent where Aventus is still projecting very well at 8.

>>13367617
Acqua di Parma? Maybe have a look at the Blu line

>>13367881
nah I'm just not really a fan of TF, Le Labo or Creed. I do like aventus though. and shame on you for owning four tom fords and none of them being patchouli absolu or sahara noir

>>13367849
I don't know, I get a lot more fermenting fruit than tobacco from Kiste. I've smelled Back to Black, Chergui and Pure Havane and can't say any of them really remind me of it. Thanks, though, I'll seek the others out

>>13367893
Only really after 6 hours is cdni a skin scent fkr me. Fix your body chemistry.

Mugler is by far the most underrated designer house

>>13367930
did you mean to say lagerfeld?

>>13367930
Thierry Mugler

>>13367861
I would.

>>13367930
Are you for real nigger? Mugler A-men DNA (which is certainly what you're talking about) is disgusting no matter what cheap-ass gimmick note they add to it (malt, tobacco, tonka, etc). If anything they're overrated.

Give it to me straight.

cool

>>13368061
It’s a good one eh? I wear it when I don’t know what to wear

>>13363176
just got samples of Aventus and Green Irish Tweed in the mail today. I am very disappointed in both. GIT smells exactly like Cool water layered with Aspen by Coty, both of which I already have.
Aventus just smells meh. Not worth the hype. It smells like a dry pineapple core in a wood hut. Kinda cool yeah, but not the masterpiece omg amazing scent it was made up to be.

>>13367948
just look at that nose

>>13367948

Does he want a Baby Ruth? ;-;

>>13367978
But Pure Tonka is amazing

>>13367861
>She is a total pleb
>While I followed the online meme list for perfumes to a t and bought all at once to then post photos of them online to my fellow memesters

What's the most unwearable fragrance you've come across? I'm interested in trying a few. I've already sampled Secretions Magnifique

>>13368417

Jimmy Choo Man (original)

Molecule 02

>>13368424

Also Versace Oud Noir AKA Pencil shavings and screeching spice. If someone went full Pajeet mode near me with that I think I'd legitimately die

>>13368424
I thought Molecule 02 was different depending on the wearer.

bought luna rossa for my first cologne EVER, how did i go?

>>13368424
>Molecule 02

hmm, plese elaborate

>>13368417
Tobacco Oud.

Disgusting.

>>13368444

It's more annoyingly boring than anything, smells sandy/mineral and very flat. Very vaguely woody too, but still boring.

>>13367540
It's performance is garbage. The only people who rec it are poorfags because they think it's the best clone of GIT.

If you like the concept of a green aquatic, try kenzo pour homme. Just tried that the other day. it's pretty much what I expect cool water to smell like. If you want your GIT clone, try Egra

>>13368417
Séville à l'Aube by L'Artisan maybe.

It could just be that it's too feminine for me, but it has this disgusting honeywax scent to it that I find DISGUSTING. Something an old lady would wear.

Also CDG Odeur 53 or whatever. I can't imagine any situation where somebody would want to wear that shit. It's absolutely vile.

>JPG Le male
>Dior Sauvage
>Bleu de Channel
>Allure homme sport eau extrême
What else do I need, guys?

>>13368417
Tobacco Vanille. Smells like hangover vomit.

>>13368617
taste

You guys are out of your goddamn minds, this stuff smells great

>>13368625
I hate this shit. I think it's absolutely disgusting from when I smelled it in store. Like an old lemon cake or something.

but once you reach that 8th spray, everything changes. You really notice the subtlety in the notes. Everything is clear man. It's hypnotic

>>13368620
Like what, little millenial turd?

>>13368617
Invictus Intense

>>13367268

Honestly just overspray Sauvage. It's an extremely aggressive aftershave fougere and has some animalic, offensive bathroom properties like Kouros if you overspray. Or just go Kouros

Is Sauvage the modern day Kouros?

>>13368625
Unironically wear this as spring casual scent.

>>13368625
I wear this everyday and people tell me I smell great all the time. Except one time when someone told me I smell like hotel pillow chocolate. Which I don’t understand. Maybe the mint?

>>13364336
Guess who just bought 2 new fragrances because l got them for half retail price....

Thinking about killing myself. What fragrance should I wear?

>>13368729
Danny Glover?

>>13368748

Numerous bottles of Sausage, Eros, Secretions Magnifique and Flowerbomb strapped around your body. Jump from a very tall building so most/all of them shatter. Even in death you will have chad miasma.

>>13368748
>>13368756
Also make sure you knot a high grade fishing line around your neck while it is tied to a sturdy structure or pole before jumping. And don't forget to superglue both of your palms to each side of your cheeks.

>>13368618

To me it just smells like a shitty candle.

>>13368417

Tuscan Leather is absolutely vile. It doesn't even smell like a fragrance to put on your body. If you didn't tell me what it was made for I'd think it was an upholstery cleaner or something.

>>13368748
reminder that this is the only certified effay way to go

>>13362978
Name a better designer house than Thierry Mugler.

>>13368781
Most of the Dior Homme line blow nearly every designer out of the water for me.

Should I blind buy DH Intense and Eau Sauvage?

>>13367997
From your collection, which ones do you use when it is the hottest there on Texas?

>>13364915
I bought a decant, just came in two days ago. It smells like shit.

Here’s what I smell. Imagine a flaming piece of wood that you extinguish with some lemons. Lemon, Wood, and Smoke. It’s garbage, I don’t even smell pineapple. If this is what Aventus smells like I seriously feel bad for all the people that fell for this meme.

>>13368828
>should I blind buy

No, you should not.

>>13368828
Don't buy either of those

Total fragrance newfag here, is this any good? My dad got me pic related and a bigger one a while ago, never used it and found it just now. I know nothing about fragrances but it smells pretty good, i guess all colognes do though

>>13368988
It's not bad imo, it's just a straight, if somewhat sharp, spicy citrus. You could do worse but if you have it you can wear it daily in warm weather no problem

Where do you guys buy your fragrances. I've ordered about five times from Fragrancenet.com and I've had nothing but good experiences. No fakes either. I don't ever buy retail. I just go to department stores to see what I like so I can get it online.

Walmart, mostly. They carry all the classics.

>>13369072
I love the citrus part of the scent
