My powerful musk scares away possible predators and attracts mates

>>13456925

>>13456930
It's a decent summer scent

thoughts?

heading to chicago for the all of july and i need something for midwest qties.

>>13457026
>midwest qties

I think you received some bad intel, anon

Many animals secrete scents to attract mates during the mating season.

What scents will make animals attracted to me as well?

Why doesn't Elon Musk make a cologne and call it Elon's Musk? I would unironically buy it

>>13457026
>midwest qties
The midwest doesn’t have qties it has beauties and cows. The women arent cute they are mostly burly if thats your thing or fat.

What's a niche Spicebomb? I heard Herod and got a sample, pretty fucking far from SB if you ask me.

>>13457443
maybe Spicebomb is unique? Not every fragrance has a distinct or niche clone.

>>13457443
Layton reminds me of Spicebomb, moreso than Herod. It's not the same, but "niche Spicebomb" isn't a bad description.

>>13456988
The entire Aqva line is solid and most can be purchased for ~$35 online.

Well the only people who have named Issey Miyake to me when asked what kinds of fragrance they like have all been black, so you should be good.

You may not like it, but this is what peak /frag/ looks like.

>>13457498
stop hyping it I don't want everyone to buy it

>>13457742
Too late, it smells fucking amazing and will start to sell out everywhere soon. Grab a bottle while you can!

>>13457498
>cherries
Is there really a cherry note to Lucky? I never picked up on that at all. Those can't be weird looking hazelnuts.

>>13456925
Op what do you look like? I'm curious.

>>13457026
Be ready to get raped by niggers

>>13457933
have you ever smelled organic cherries and not cherry flavoring?

Thoughts?
I really like the notes, but afraid that it smells "outdated".

>>13458064
Also, I couldn't find it offline, considering a blind buy.

>>13457026
Try it at a sephora if you can, but it really grew on me the last time I tried it. It starts off with a sharp citrus that's pretty different since I guess it's Yuzu, but as it dries down a lot of the other notes come out and you get some floral and woods on my skin.

However, when I first tried it a long time ago, it was the sharpest most nauseating citrus ever. It seems both cases are common with issey, but I think it's a good choice for the price.

So now that I have something like 26 bottles, should I switch my strat up for future scents and start buying large 10-20 ml decants?

Was thinkinkg of grabbing Chane Platinum Egoiste and Eau Extreme for my final purchases, but honestly thinking maybe I should chill out with how much money I've been throwing at my collection even for 50 ml bottes.

>>13456925
Is OP pic related a good house for some relaxed and office friendly scents?
If I wanted to sample some Acqua di Parma, what's my best bet for say 3 or 4 frags worth?

what's the most you ever spent on a single fragrance? pic related for me. i'm sure others here have crushed that

>>13458129
How many times are you gonna ask this? You're obviously uncomfortable with spending more on frags so stop buying and shut the fuck up already.

>>13458176
> good house for some relaxed and office friendly scents
definitely
at worst, Colonia Essenza it might approach smelling "too dressy" but not imo

for the four i'd suggest sampling are Intensa, Absoluta, Essenza, and Club (drop Absoluta if you only want to sample 3). the original Colonia is good but shows its age a bit as it was formulated in the 1910s)

>>13458199
no

>>13458193
usually no more than ~120 since I'm a poorfag. Think my most expensive is Bleecker Street by Bo. No 9 at 110 or something around there from a grey market seller. Might have spent more on Amongst Waves but I bought it on a sale.

Should I sell my bottle of Pineapple Vintage X Batch?

I own the Intense flanker already. I just never wear it. Granted, I feel uncomfortable wearing a fragrance like that due to the Sauvage stigma, but I also wonder if it's redundant to own both

Hello /frag/s, total noob here
What kind of fragrances would work well with this kind of fit? What do you suggest?
20-something male btw

>>13458250
Anything designer.

Start by going to a sephora, spend a day and smell some things, get some samples (they will usually give you 3) and come back and tell us what you liked the most. Fragrance is pretty subjective but pretty much anything designer is alright.

>>13458254
The fragrances I used so far are Eau d'Hadrien by Annick Goutal because it reminds me of my uncle and Bulgari Man Extreme, but I have no idea if they're /fa/ or I'm a tasteless idiot, don't have enough experience with that yet
I'm pretty sure they're like past past season

>>13458250
secretions magnifique

>>13458262
>they're like past past season
frags don't work like that

and both those are goo

>>13458267
>goo
*good

>>13458266

What's the best Armani Code flanker? I enjoyed Profumo but it was a tad too sweet for me, I guess I hate frags that are sickly sweet to my nose, however I love Pure Tonka.
Is Sport one worth trying?

>>13458250
>>13458254
but I'll give you a quick place to start since it can be daunting. I think the best fragranes to try at sephora for the current season are:
YSL L'Homme Ultime
Chanel Eau Extreme
Platinum Egoiste
AdG Profumo (I own it, not sure I care for it but it's alright)
Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey
Terre d'Hermes
Terre d'Hermes Eau Tres Fraiche
Bleu De Chanel (EdP and EdT)
Gucci Pour Homme II

Imo, those are some of the best scents to try from Sephora. Most have good longevity.

>>13458262
No experience with either, but here's generally how seasons and frags work: Some notes can be heavy and cloying in high heat, and others can just be weird as fuck in the cold. You wouldn't expect to smell a green, citrusy field in the winter when it's cold. Conversely, if you came in wearing a smoky, leathery, or chocolatey thing where I live in 95 F weather, I'd probably vomit. It's not always the case, but just thinking of one of my favorites in the summer (Encre Noire Extreme) is making me sweat already. d'Hadrien is a warm weather frag for sure, since it has a lot of light citruses mixed with cypress. The bulgari is also a warm weather frag since it leans citrusy , but I bet you could get away with this almost year round looking at the note breakdown. (Actually I wanna try this sometime) Anyways, based on what you've tried I think what I posted are all pretty good. Definitely look into Terre d'Hermes. It's excellent and can be worn almost year round.

I know they're usually used as date frags and they don't project enough for clubs but out of AHSEE, La Nuit, Pure Havane or The One EDP, which is the best one for a group dinner or evening out at the bar?

>>13458279
Thank you really much my dude, I'm excited to try those

>>13458236
What's with the sudden influx of whiney retards lately?

Managed to smash my L'eau D'issey, looking for something similar & very summery, any recommendations?

>>13458295
None.

>>13458369
What's your problem dude? I just asked for an opinion.

>>13458375
Just a bunch of crybaby faggots who are unsure about their purchases who come here and bitch about their bad decisions instead of talking about frags.

>>13458383
Wow anon you're so cool can you teach me to be as cool as you? Fuck off with your meta bitching and talk about fragrances.

>>13458017
This is me irl

>>13458193
I was the Anon who bought a 500ml flacon of Royal Oud for $375. Not really expensive on a $ per ml basis but the most I've spent on one scent.

>>13458400
Oh yeah I remember you. You have a fuckhuge collection don't you?

Didn't you plan to decant some of it up?

>>13458386
Sounds like I hit a nerve you little bitch. Find a new hobby fuccboi.

I just got samples of Jubilation XXV, Bleecker St., BONDNO9.COM, and Scent of Peace for Him. I like them all but only can buy one. Decide for me.

>>13457443
1899 by Histoires de Parfums is your best bet. I would exactly describe it as a "niche Spicebomb" that's smoother and less juvenile than the original.

>>13457778
the macys near me only has the 200ml monster bottle lol

>>13458520
get sauvage instead women love it,real deal panty dropper calone.

>>13457933
fragrantica says it has plum and grapefruit
this pic >>13457498 indicates it has cherries, and another promotional picture has apricots. I think it smells like apricoot but I can see all 3 really

>>13458544
i don't want to take perfumery advice from someone who can't spell cologne, dog

>>13458199
haha nice

>>13458567
>apricoot

>>13458567
Actual cherries taste the exact same as plums. I don't have any clue where the "cherry" in cherry-flavored shit comes from.

For the summer I want something chilly and fresh (maybe floral), do you have any recommendations for me? Before Ive been using Bleu de Chanel, I liked it but I feel like its a bit too masculine maybe since im not that old

>>13458199
this, but unironically. asking once is fine but he needs to make up his own fucking mind. make a budget

Can I wear my Noir Extreme during the summer?

>>13458646

what's stopping you?

>>13458569
its a memepost. hang out here long enough youll reconize it on sight. also get jxxv

>>13458646
I wouldn't on a hot day. Woody incense + vetiver seems like it'd kill me, personally.

Would probably be fine going out at night though.

>>13458520
I’d say Jubilation. I haven’t been too impressed with any of the Bond frags I’ve tried, honestly. They’re not bad, but I’m not blown away. I liked Bleecker St. best, it’s probably the most versatile, but Jubilation is really something special.

Only thing is, it’s isnt the best weather for Jubilation right now (though I guess you could get away with it at night).

>>13457498
Stop posting this you faggot. You’re going to meme it up and then everyone is going to wear it.

>>13458646
I am today. It's warm in CA but I work inside a cold lab.

>>13457933
>>13458567
I’m pretty sure those “cherries” are supposed to be plums.

>>13458673
>>13458654
Thanks guys I do enjoy JXXV a bunch, and it's only like $148 on fragnet. I also enjoy calone memeposting, glad to see it spreading.

How's Invictus aqua 2018. People?
Tried at airport and going strong on my skin for 4 hours.

>>13458654
Amouage is fucin awesome.
I rank.
Tom Ford>Amouage>Creed.

>>13458857
I always feel like tom fords are for old people.

Do any of you prefer a frag once its mellowed? I hated BdC when I first used my sample back in October, gave me headaches and the incense was too harsh but now I really enjoy it, not having used it since February.

>>13458371
Try their summer flanker, anon.

>>13458857
for me, Amouage > Tom Ford > Creed

but my love for Silver Mountain Water and GIT is undying

>>13457443
Jubilation XXV

Give me some kino fragrances for poorfags

>>13459079
Jubilation 25 doesnt smell like spicebomb imo. sample before you buy.

>>13457443
herod is similar to spicebomb extreme.

Lots of talk about Jubilation XXV itt. Is it that good?

>>13458636
Neroli Portofino?

>>13459129
It’s pretty unique. Blackberry, spices, incense, citrus, resins. Very middle eastern smelling. Pretty much what I’d imagine a genie would smell like.

Habitual blind buyer here, posting my most recent cops. These arrived today. Most excited for Patchouli Absolu but all should be great. Will give one of them a wear after my post work shower.

What do you have coming to you, friends?

>>13459165
>It’s pretty unique.
This. I'm really interested but can't sample for free. Most frags I can make an idea of what it smells like by looking at notes, but this one has me lost.

>>13459083
try juice from Bvlgari

>>13459294
Fellow Habitual Blind-Buyer here, just received Encre Noire... Holy fuck I don't like it, good thing its cheap I guess

>>13459354
just buy a sample, theyre not that expensive

>>13459294
Just copped some Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto.
Not sure it can replace my venetian bergamot from tom ford.

>>13459083
Encre Noire Sport (2013) - $25-$30 / 100 ml
Citrus, cypress, and vetiver with aquatic notes. Good longevity.

Guerlain Vetiver (2000) - $25-$30 / 100 ml
Earthy woods and tobacco; a classic for all seasons and all ages.

Calvin Klein CK One Shock - $18 / 100 ml
Energy drink with swisher cigar accord, 6-7 hour performance, good for fall through early spring

Bentley for men Azure - $30-$35 / 100 ml
A modern summertime ambrox-aquatic with strong performance. Not a Sauvage-like.

Bentley for men Absolute - $35-$40 / 100 ml
Dry incensed resins and wood. I prefer it to CDG 2 Man, which is similar and about 3x the price.

Charriol Royal Gold - $37 / 100 ml @fragrancenet
Tom Ford Black Orchid at 1/3 price and 5/4 potency.

Azzaro Wanted - $35 / 100 ml
Along with CK One Shock, this is your best value club scent / youthful date fragrance in 2018. All of the thot slayer notes are present and accounted for - tonka, apple, amberwood, and cardamom - over a traditional masculine base of lavender-geranium-vetiver. Projects and lasts.

Benneton United Dreams Aim High - $14 / 100 ml @fragrancenet
A solid value version of Bleu de Chanel EdT. Not nearly as refined as Bleu, but still enjoyable in warm weather and long lasting. Produced by Puig in Spain.

>>13459393 is correct in recommending Bvlgari. All of the Aqva series are around $35 / 100 ml and all are great for spring through fall. Aqva Amara can be used as a winter aquatic with its bitter orange and cedar base. Aqva Atlantiqve is my only recommended Sauvage-like and gets me many compliments.

If you're in Europe and can order from Notino, consider Rasasi Egra, a great affordable clone of Creed Green Irish Tweed. Americans no longer have cheap access to Rasasi since Notino closed up shop here and eBay sellers have dialed up pricing on Egra to around $40 / 100 ml delivered. I think $25 is a fair price, but paid $16 in 2016.

>>13459470
I really don't like guerlain vetiver, and I'm hard to displease with scents. It smells like being in a swamp to me. Wet tree bark and moss.
Should I just avoid anything vetiver, or is it unique to guerlain?

>>13459470
Americans can get Rasasi on fragrancebuy

>>13459587
Nibba try TF Grey Vetiver it will blow you away.

>>13459609
Damn, never thought to buy from Canadians. Thanks for the tip.

>>13459587
Test another vetiver fragrance and see whether it's the note itself or the accompanying notes in Guerlain Vetiver that bother you. Vetiver does have a dank sort of wet grass-wood smell that is front and center in Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EdP (the EdT is different). You'll know right away which it is by sniffing the Tom Ford.

>>13459354
Best I can describe it, it smells kind of like a much nicer, richer, more sophisticated version of that incense they’re always burning at Indian dollar stores. Smoky, sweet, spicy, very exotic.

what do you all think of this? I'm looking for something that is different and beastly.

>>13458201
club is fucking shit, it smells like your gross uncle that bets on horses and fucks 18 year olds

>>13459745
Sounds awesome, what are you some kind of faggot??

>>13459745
That uncle sounds kinda baller. I'm gonna gift a decant of Club from my new bottle to my degenerate horse race betting friend based on the specificity of your critique.

Hey guys poor college student here. I need a fucking panty dropper, which calone will get me puss? Under $20 and not synthetic or cloying!

>>13459766

Hey guys I have 5 bottles and it's literally making me broke. I think I can't afford any more calone but I'm a huge fucking faggot who can't make adult decisions. Can you random anonymous trolls please handle my finances for me?

>>13459783
Yes.
Smash the bottles on ground and never think ever again about them.

>>13459766
Only douchebag jocks and assholes ask for "panty droppers." Get the fuck off my board.

>>13459785
Why do you wear a frag, gentleman?

>>13459763
>>13459765
alright fags but you will have to deal with your terrible life decisions for life, acqua di parma oud cologne is better anyways

>>13459785
its a joke you dolt

>>13459789
because it smells good; it refreshes, invigorates, soothes. same reason people burn incense or scented candles

>>13459785
yikes

>>13459610
Seconded. Most vetivers i have tried (leau boisee, TdH, tzora, black vetiver) remind me of bugspray but Grey Vetiver is fantastic. Its cozy yet fresh, soft yet crisp. edp > edt

>>13456925
Bought this for 5$ from a local perfumery in India.
This is lavender based oil and projects very nice and pleasant for 3-4 hrs and lasts as long as 8-10 hours on my skin. I got 2 compliments and I really enjoyed it.

The old timer at the shop has a brilliant nose and tells me he can make very similar frags to the ones I showed him (Oud wood).
I was thinking why should I waste my money on stupid ((niche)) and ((designer)) Fragrances when I can get similar stuff at literal cheap AF prices.

>>13460182
Ask him to make one that smells like curry and sweat ;^)

>>13460186
Thanks I've got my BO for that. ;P

>>13458646
If its so hot youre sweating id say no

>>13458850
Never tried 2016. Have 2018, seems good to me, could still smell it the next day.

To dress up a little

Bought a sample of Creed Aventus. Am I missing something? Smells a bit like fruity chewing gum.

Spring and summer frags i have samples of all smell good and all feel applicable to any situation, how do I decide!?

>bleu de chanel
>d&g the one
>sauvage
>d&g light blue
>encre noire sport
>aventus
>aqua fahrenheit
>invictus aqua
>versace pour homme
>YSL L'homme

Winter and fall frags i like are all similar enough that I can just pick the best couple to have full bottles of, but spring/summer ones are so diverse but also all good.

What's a good frag for an all black fit, say a button up shirt, pinstripe trousers, trenchcoat and satchel?
Ideally something I could wear to work. Been thinking of Boss Bottled or Pure Malt, but worry PM is too boozy for an office environment. Given I'm aiming to work in IT or just a desk job if work experience I want to go for after my seasonal job finishes goes well.

at what age should i start using perfume?

>>13460448
T-T-T-TODAY Junior.

>>13457026
Too citrusy/acidy and after time you can even start to notice those ammonia notes .

>>13460539
Got it from an online site with a good reputation. Would be pretty disappointed if it was fake

>>13460533

you probably set your expectations too high. It might grow on you, I didn't care for it at all first time either. In fact I didn't care for it until someone gave me a raving compliment on it

>>13460533
>Detergent
You obviously don't have the best nose, you should find a new hobby.

>>13460544
EDT? I like the EDP but its just a citrusy incense bomb until it stops projecting. Then the grassy amber from the vetiver/amber kicks in and I enjoy it but there's something stopping me buying a bottle.

>>13460626
Maybe I have a great nose but really fancy detergent.

>>13460648
Not that Anon but Bleu EdT is the best suited for office use. It also offers the strongest performance of the three varieties in my experience.

>>13460665
>really fancy detergent

>>13460318
go with aventus or ysl

>>13459294
I should be receiving Royal Mayfair today I'm the mail. I don't know why it gets all the hate, plus it was 100 for a 120ml. That's insane for a creed right?

>>13459785
You should try being one of those someday. It might change your life

>>13459294
i love patchouli, so please tell me what you think about that TFPB

>>13458682
ohhhhhh
yeah i see. they just arent to scale at all

only fragrance I have been using is nuit de l'homme for about a year. i love the smell but I want something that lasts longer and maybe a tiny bit stronger. I like terre d'Hermes but it's not something I would wear. too strong. also tried Festival Music by Margiela, pretty fucking nice. what would you guys suggest I try if I want a new scent? something I can use all year at any time of day

>>13461296
cedar is a common note across all three of those, vetiver and patchouli common across two of them. id suggest trying l'air du desert marocain, wonderwood, and red vetyver

i personally love vetiver. sycomore and private label are my favorites, cdg's vittiveru is worth the experience as well

>>13461355
thanks for breaking it down with the common notes, I'm a noob so I didn't know what it was that I liked about them. what do you think of Valentino Uomo? I'll go check out those you mentioned if I can find them in NYC after my vacation. is Wonderwood quality or just expensive because of the brand?

>>13461444
never tried valentino. wonderwood and cdg in general is expensive because of supply and demand. cdg's fragrances are relatively unique in composition and thus command a higher retail. cdg is also a bit off the mainstream palette enough it doesnt get cloned, i cant even think of a clone of their best seller cdg 2 man. aventus on the other hand is an example of a frag that was unique on release 8 years ago but a number of clones have sprung in the wake of its popularity.

by the way always look at the note listing for fragrances you like. if you cant find anything on the official website or packaging try fragrantica and basenotes. you can search by note in those places as well.

if you want to get autistic you can try essential oils of notes that seem to come up often, you get to smell the note in isolation and then pick it up elsewhere. your brain actually starts to change as you develop your nose

http://www2.cnrs.fr/en/2149.htm?&theme1=7&debut=32

>>13461450
alright man, I actually think I tried Wonderwood at Barneys today but I was too distracted by Music Festival.

>>13460318
Do you go out a lot? Practice any sports? Depends on what you do, anon. If you don't go out a lot at night you don't need to bother with things like the one I'd say, if you go to the beach often I'd go with things like VPH and Invictus Aqua, it all depends a lot.

>>13461545
recommend me something for a fag like me who goes out in the daytime everyday. Gym, never drink or club at night. I like to dress casual and simple, aka tshirts and jeans or shorts, but wear stealth wealth watches worth more than my outfit. I'm tall, a little tan and lean muscular. what would go with my appearance.

>>13461574

I'd say acqua di gio profumo would suit you. But what you should do is go to a store and sample a few to find what you really enjoy. Take it from someone who blind bought way too many bottles and I don't really enjoy.

>>13461355
Awesome suggestion anon.
Approve.

anybody here try the rasasi that has the cheetah on the bottle? supposed to smell like jubilation.

>>13461638
Smelling them side by side on paper for you now.

If Cheetah is meant to be a Jubilation clone, it is a bad one. The Rasasi smells similar for a second when switching back and forth, but it immediately feels hollow, lacking any identifiable myrrh, oud, or blackberry for example. All three of these come leaping out at me on the Jubilation card, but Cheetah is dominated by a single sheer sweet-spicy accord with zero nuance. It's actually giving me a headache as I sniff it. I remember it being uncomfortable to wear. Not recommended, from a Rasasi fan.

>>13459722
Thanks for the description.

>>13461574
I will agree with >>13461595, go out in a store and find something that suits you. Maybe (besides what the other anon recommended, which is btw an incredible scent) Aqva Atlantiqve is a good option for you, it is a more unique version of Sauvage (or even Aqva Amara if you're into that kind of scent). Terre Eau Três Fraiche and L'Homme Ideal Cologne are other good options.

>>13457443
Mancera red tobacco, although its more similar to spicebomb extreme however not veery much

>>13458850
My sprayer seems to be fucked up, i usually wear 4 sprays, 2 on each side of my neck, sometimes it lasts and projects for 8 hours sometimes its literally gone after 1 hour, but when it "works properly" it projects 4 5 hours for a solid meter and a half, may even fill up the room

>>13456925
What are some of the most comfortable fragrances to wear? I'd prefer EdPs but anything that you personally feel is comfy is fine.

>>13462463
Depends on your definition of comfy I guess. For me comfy is traditional cologne type scents (Mugler cologne, Neroli Portofino, Bergamotto Marino) because they just relax and refresh me as well as reminding me of when I was a kid.

I currently only have Versace Pour Homme.

Is there any point getting something like Acqua Di Gio Profumo as well?

Also, does anybody here have any experience with Tobacco Oud? I’m just wondering what to expect from it. I’ll be trying loads soon enough, but I just want some ideas before I go.

>>13459354
Jubilation smells like wealth. Tuxedos, helicopters, supermodels hanging out in your indoor pool kind of wealth.

if you like smelling like a rich, out-of-touch grandma carrying a bouquet of old flowers who just walked out of the hair salon, Gold Man is for you.

Should I blind buy Bond no 9 Scent of Peace for him if this is my rank for “Blue” fragrances? 20 yo Student/retail worker btw.

Recently watched a vid where someone made this point and it struck me; if you're in an a/c controlled environment most of the time then seasonal temperatures shouldn't necessarily be determinative of what frag you wear. I notice women don't really give a shit what time of year it is they still wear warm, sweet and/or spicy scents all the time and it still smells fine.

>>13462753
What makes you say that?

>>13457498
This absolutely crushes the gay homosexual Pink Sugar smelling Ultra Male.

Lucky rules.

>>13459587
I also wasn't a fan of GV, it smelled kinda stuffy to me. If you still want a grassy, natural smelling kind of vetiver check out Encre Noire Sport. Pretty cheap, lasts a long time, still smells super green and woody but lightened up with grapefruit and has a bit of a cooling effect.

>>13462764
Adg is a meme scent and jeremy doesn't shut the fuck up about tobacco oud. TO smells like animal feces.

>>13462843
Ok, is that the consensus? I looked him up and I get the impression that most of his compliments are not because of the fragrance.

Femanon here,

Can anyone suggest long lasting floral / citrusy scents that aren't super strongly scented?
My go to is chanel #5 or drakkor noir men's cologne, but I need more ideas because honestly there's waaay better shit out there.

>>13462463
Grey Vetiver EDP and Tam Dao EDP are both super comfy in my opinion. They make we want to put on cashmere and drink tea.

>>13462875
Flowerbomb maybe?

>>13462875
I like Light Blue and Alien on girls

Is Only the Brave Extreme worth a blind buy if I want an apple based frag?

>>13462875
theres a catch between long lasting and strongly scented, you usually get one or the other. anyway

cdg energy lime
ck one
jardin sur le nil
pure white linen

>>13462875
Viva la Juicy Gold
Zara Orchid
Versace Red Jeans
Versace Bright Crystal

I recommend above because my GF loves it.

>>13462843
Tobacco oud is indeed meme.
Tobacco Vanille is the real gem to me.

>>13462875
Guerlien Shalimar

picked up some creed milliseme imperial. its pleasant. won't offend anyone.

Smells fresh and clean still prefer Green irish tweed, but i can wear this.

>>13462875
Try this one. Shit is good.
t. anotherfemanon

>>13462875
Lyric man. I dont see how it's a mans fragrance. Or maybe woman, never tried that one.

>>13462467
adg profumo is good.

Opinions on pic related? Looking for something to add to my summer lineup.

>>13463245
its def a good summer scent

>>13462752
Why do you think if i may ask?

>>13462746
Anyone else?

>>13462463
For me: Kouros, CK One Shock, Cerruti 1881

>>13463441
Are you a 50 year old boomer?

>>13462463
i like resinous fragrances. incense, myrrh, benjoin, amber, opopanax, etc. incense extreme is very cozy

>>13463245
I like it, though not nearly as much as the original Terre or Guerlain's L'eau boisée which it is often compared to.

>>13463397
its really likable and not really like any of those you mentioned

I feel much more confident when I wear this stuff.

I may have to try Grey Vetiver, have any of you tried Tom Ford Noir Anthracite or Noir Extreme? I heard they’re both comfy and deep. Very good suggestions so far, Thanks.

>>13462746

Scent of Peace is an extremely likeable warm weather fragrance with standout performance. Two sprays last for well over twelve hours. I am nearly finished with my first bottle, but I have two backups ready to go and might stockpile a few more.

>>13463610
Tried them both.yes they're good with Tom Ford DNA.

>>13458916
It really seems like Tom Fords masculine frags are targeted towards wealthy middle aged guys who're trying to become "sexy" again.

>>13463770
t. eros-wearer

I got samples of Bond no 9 Digital and SoPFH today. I really like them both but can only get one. Which do you guys like more? FYI I don't give a shit how similar they are to Aventus, I like them on their own merits.

>>13463669
>>13463576
I guess I’ll take the safe route and get a decant. Thanks for the help guys!

Do you guys know any cheaper alternatives to Hermes Vetiver Tonka? I love this scent but I do not want to shell that kind of cash for it.

>>13463867
Why and how do you like em? Am that same guy as above asking for Scent of Peace for Him

>>13458636

if you're younger i would suggest (unironically) dior sauvage, i also really like dior homme cologne but you can get a similar scent with much better value with versace pour homme.

l'eau d'issey is more floral for a fresh/summer alternative

>>13458400
>Royal Oud
based. this is hands down the best scent ever.
plus I wear it so lightly that it's going to last me for ever.

>>13462875
I smelled Chanel Eau Tendre at a sephora once making small talk with a clerk.

Smelled really nice, probably what I'd like a girl to smell like if we were dating.

>>13463610
On a sample card TFNA smelt great

You have £200. You currently have no fragrances. What two fragrances do you buy?

I’m thinking of a light daytime one and a slightly darker one for evenings but genuinely have no idea where to start.

>>13456925
How much does a bottle of 100 ml dior Sauvage EDT cost in France?

>>13464773
I'd buy few decants of 10 ml online.
Honestly, too many Fragrances for a year.

>>13464773
Aventus and Sauvage

>>13464773
Wonderwood and Dior Homme Cologne
One for spring/summer and formal occassions, one for autumn/winter and casual or comfy evenings

>>13464783
Where's best for that? I’m in the Uk.

>>13464807
I smell a lot of people with Sauvage. It seems a little overplayed.

>>13464811
I’ll check those out if I can find them.

Follow up question for everybody: What’s your primary concern? “Do I like it?” Or “What will others think”?

I really want to try some Tom Ford fragrances but have heard they’re very divisive. Do you worry more about other opinions or your own?

>>13464773
Mugler Cologne for the daytime, Oud Wood for the night.

>>13464828
>Where's best for that? I’m in the Uk.
Perfumista or Fragrancesamplesuk.

>>13464828
>What’s your primary concern? “Do I like it?” Or “What will others think”?
More like do I love it. There's so much perfume out there, you might like a ton of them, I'd only buy what I really really like or love. I don't really wear perfume for others.

Will I be memed if I buy Dylan blue since I like the fruitiness of Sauvage but hate the peppery drydown, but also feel that the incense in BdC is a tad too cold and metallic.

>>13464833
Thanks, added to the list.

>>13464835
Pretty neat, thanks.

>>13464855
Same, although I have to admit I’ve been prone to asking the staff what they think as well.

>>13464835

Decant sites are great if you want to waste money. Better off looking at the decant subreddits or basenotes splits forum.

>>13464960
For the UK though? I only seemed to find American stuff.

>>13464992

I just looked on basenotes and 3 of the first 7 threads are from UK. Possibly more, those are just the ones that specify in the title.

>>13465008
Ah right, I meant on Reddit sorry. I'll definitely check basenotes out next time I'm in the market.

Can't get enough of this, haven't smelled anything like it. Any other fans?

>>13464773

Either Wonderwood or AdP Colonia Club for day. AdP Leather or TF Noir for night.

>>13465119
Wonderwood sounds great but the reviews on fragrantica are full of people bitching about the smell and performance. Are they just a bunch of faggots or is it really that bad?

Sauvage EDT or EDP?

Life-changing decision right here bois, please make it count

please

>>13465168

Projection does die down after a few hours and becomes way more subtle. I mean smell's subjective but it's pretty well liked on here. Definitely smells woody but there's something else there you get with all CdG scents, something a bit weird and unique, and hard to pin down.

>>13465212
I see, thanks. What's a better wood frag? I have Encre Noir and love it but I think it's more "forest" in general as opposed to wood. I'd like something that smells like lumber (cedar, redwood, Doug fir), not oud.

>>13465186
EDP for the winter, EDT for the summer.

>>13463245
What strikes me as I spray this stuff on: it smells like cracking open a real orange amd the oils hit your face.

>>13465186
edt my man

Why does /frag/ cum their pants for Wonderwood??

>>13465212
What about Blue Santal? A worthy WW alternative?

>>13465348
It's a good musky wood scent but imo the shitty performance really turns me off. I just bought rocky mountain wood instead.

>>13465437
Tam dao edp

>>13465348
i dont. i just recommend it a lot because newbies tend to ask for something deeply woodsy.

>>13464773
single bottle of jxxv. first bottle i bought after a long time hunting through samples, its my main frag as well

>>13460665

It's probably the velvione white musk, since most detergents use them. Depending what type and how much is used, it can lead to negative connotation e.g. "laundry musk".

what's a good daily frag for LA? into woodsy smells but think that might be a little cold for the warm weather.

>>13465781
That's actually really interesting and a bloody informative answer. Thank you very much.

>>13465268
>it smells like cracking open a real orange amd the oils hit your face.
I love that kind of stuff. After so much time wearing TdH I still marvel at how "natural" it feels. And JCE says he doesn't really care about natural but rather he wants fantasy in his perfumes. No idea what makes it feel that way, I haven't tested a million perfumes like some other anons in hhere but the few YSL, Dior, Chanel, etc I've smelled, while some good some great, they don't give me that vibe.
I remember reading in that one Luca Turin book saying Hermes and Cartier use higher concentrations of expensive components on their products, I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Sadly other Hermes perfumes have very short longevity.

I'm almost done with my bottle of Prada L'Homme. Is Dior Homme Eau a good substitute, being different but fitting for the same situations?

>>13463584
That's really great anon. I'm happy for you, I also love this scent – it's super clean, pleasing, masculine, and timeless. Thinking of copping a bottle soon.

>>13466286
>>13463584
Probably my next bottle too

>>13463584
I already own guerlain vetiver extreme. How does it compare?

>>13459354
lucky scent has a sample for like $4.00 -

>>13465789
Molecule 01

>>13466327
TF Grey Vetiver is more of a vetiver-woody scent, while GV Extreme strikes me as dry green-herbal. TFGV smells thick and oily by comparison. The two aren't redundant if you love vetiver and want variety.

>>13460182
Nice. Wish I knew old experienced perfumers and tailors and barbers etc, if another 17 year old girl comes round the corner to cut my hair again I will shoot up the block

I've heard nothing but praise for the vintage M7 in the reddish brown rectangular bottle.
Is it worth getting a decant of? I've never tried Oud based scents before and was debating between trying that or OW

>>13466003
Hermes and Cartier are both on the higher end of designer fragrances so it makes sense. I would personally place both houses next to Chanel and Dior easily.

>>13465186
Whatever Jeremy says

>>13465110
Smells soapy and clean to me
Would cop just for the bottle desu

my uncle asked me if he could borrow my cologne so i gave him my light blue and sprayed his armpits like 10 times, apparently he doesnt like using deodorant kek

>>13467291
*he sprayed his own armpits, i didnt do the spraying

>see teenage fatass in fragrance store
>smelling some Hugo Boss meme scents
>sprays them in the air
>inhales that shit through his nose like a desperate cocaine addict
>coughs every time after doing that
>walks over to Paco Rabanne picks up some Invictus Aqua
>does the same thing and nods
>proceeds to spray it all over his body at least 20 fucking times
>I look on in sheer horror

anybody else notice people like this when trying out new scents?

Is it worth getting a sample of musc ravageur

>>13467145
but he tied them, so both?

>>13467309
I order samples online for delivery so I don't have to deal with the general public.

Can anyone recommend some nice fragrance for the summer/autumn/winter seasons? I currently just use Y by YSL.

>>13467323
its nothing special imo. if you havent had these have a look at: muscs koublai khan, kiehls, NR musc for him, kouros, bruno acampora, absolu pour le soir

kouros and NR should be available to try at the mall

What are the chances of buying fakes or trying out fakes at places like kiosks in the mall
Its a perfumania and they always have "discounts"

naxos gotta be one of the GOATs. it smells like zebra gum

>>13467510
But Y?

>>13467309
Where's your fedora?

>>13466894
Apparently it was refornulated, but it's a nice scent from the decent i have. I think the release (M7 absolu) is just as good. Great longevity and a really nice, woody scent. It's a really unique wood smell.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are plenty of merits of the original, but with how much it goes for, i just don't think it justifies the cost imo

>>13467309
>Hugo Boss meme scents
Don't ever disrespect based Boss ever again you faggot

Same guy as above. My decant of Scent of Peace for Him came in. I like it but don’t love it. Still would have been happy for a blind buy though.

What I’m asking for is if there is anything like these notes but less Ambroxan and a bit less Cedar with more Fruity notes. I really love the opening for this but the Ambroxan in the dry down is just too heavy. Less Ambroxan and a bit less Woody notes.

What do you /fa/gs recommend?

>>13467721
Personally, feels like that would just be aventus

>>13467721
>>13467800
In particular you might try the original pineapple vintage. Apparently it's more of a fruit bomb, but that's the only thing i can think of off the top of my head

Is it worth blind buying a decant of spiriteuse double vanille

>>13467715
Boss sells garbage and mediocre scents that are bad quality just like the clothes they sell.

>>13467309
Sometimes people like to understand how fragrances smell just lingering in the air. Calm down kid. You can’t even afford Boss suits

>>13468060
>raving about sub $500 suits

what do we think about Penhaligon's? i quite like Quercus even if it's a just a dressy and refined CK One

ik im gonna get hate but old spice deodrent? i usually use cologne and less scented deodrent but i recently used old spice denali because it smells and feels fresh anyone else?

>>13468258
no hate here but products like that are basically training wheels fragrance. the description says its a musky, woodsy, and citrus scent. try terre d'hermes

>>13468053
>>13468122
Never disrespect Boss again thank you

Just got Bleecker St. decant in the mail today. Smells like a cucked Fahrenheit, with shittier performance. Tell me, why is this "le best from Bond No 9" again?

>>13468324
>Bleecker St
>anything close to Fahrenheit
improve your nose and get some experience, friend.

>>13468329

>>13468324
Why the fuck would it smell like Fahrenheit?

Also nobody says it's bonds best. I own it but bond has better scents. If anything, it's weak since it has such meh performance.

How do you like CDNI?

Can't afford Invasion Barbare. Is HdP 1725 the next best barbershop-smelling frag out there?

>>13468310
Its funny because smelly pajeets are their main customers now

>>13468387
its good. i forget off hand what it is but theres a base note like vanilla or tonka that makes it more sweet than fresh. some people actually prefer that element of 1725 over invasion barbare. its like 90% the same fragrance though

>>13468339

>>13468382
Honestly, of all my Aventus clones, it's the worst. It was my first cologne, and I liked it when I started, but it's just too harsh imo. Either Aventus decants or PVI are 100% the way to go. If you're set on a super cheap aventus clone, though, Insurrection is second behind PVI

Where do you guys actually find all these obscure fragrances exactly? All I find anywhere is Ralph Lauren, Sauvage, Boss etc.

>>13468461
At mall or Sephora or at airport duty free stalls.
if you live in rural or suburban then try online.
If you are from the continent of Africa then I'm sorry.

>>13468547
What websites? I can't just keep going to the airport.

is fragrancenet legit?

>>13468407
Hey I'm Indian and I never had a Boss fragrance and neither my friends. What are you blabbering about you fuckin bitchtits?

Depends on which country you live
Google is your friend.

I'm really respectful here, very unlikely I behave on 4chan please don't post stupid shit.
Know how to google basic stuff.

>>13468557

yes

>>13468557
Yes. They aren't exactly Amazon fast, but they ship genuine product and they do so reliably. I enjoy not paying sales tax. I also recommend going for the $3 USPS delivery rather than waiting on the free Fedex / USPS slow shipment, especially during summer. You don't want your perfume languishing in a hot trailer yard someplace for days at a time.

>>13468561
because one filthy dothead doesn't wear it none of them? tell your cousins to stop shitting in streets and drinking cow piss.

>>13468678
Please be nice. We're a nice general. Usually.
