I can’t find CH Men Prive in many sites, and certainly no shops near me. The closest shop that has it is nearly 100 miles away. Based on the description it sounds like so,etching I’d like, but do you think it’s a safe blind buy? Normally I’d hate the idea of blind buying.

>>13517697
Nowhere online you can buy a sample?

>>13517702
If somebody can recommend a UK sample site then that would be appreciated.

I found fragrancesamplesuk but don’t know anything about it. It’s not something I’ve done before.

Mugler Cologne y/n?

Give me your non-meme opinion on this.

>>13517705
There, Perfumista or Notino. Notino tend to have more samples of designer stuff and the other two focus more on niche.

>>13517707
Big yes from me. Perfect for the hot weather.

Opinion on Lacoste L.12.12 Blanc?

>>13517710
Thanks. I’ve always just bought things after trying them in shops so I never even considered this.

I am reading about YSL L'homme / Nuit frags and people generally tend to be displeased with silage / longevity aspects. Given the scent is not a factor, what's the best YSL frag performance wise?

>>13517681
Boomer here. Wanted is one of my guilty indulgences for sure. Like Lucky, I know its target audience is probably guys half my age but I don't care because it's so damn pleasing.

>>13517707
Neutral on this one. It's soapy. People will say that you smell of soap. Simple, green, soap. With an undercurrent of jizz. Seriously, you won't be able to unsmell the cum note.

>>13517708
Whether due to the CK fragrance business being purchased by Coty or because of ingredient restrictions, CK One has changed for the worse over time. While the current version smells similar enough to identify as One, it lacks the enveloping muskiness of the vintage 90's original. I sometimes use my large bottle as a linen / bedding freshener, but I never wear it on skin anymore.

Any thoughts??

I have a Eau Fraiche perfume that has a stronger and longer lasting smell than a Eau de Parfum. How? Why is it better?

>>13517889

>>13517889
Bad post

>>13517889
not cool

>>13518078
Synthetic chemicals. Theirry Mugler pure tonka is an edt but lasts like 16 hours on skin. The concentration labels are negligible with how many chemicals are in perfumes rather than natural oils. And that is eau fraiche it is an EDT its on the box.

>>13517684
Why do you were Fragrance anon?

>>13518137

>>13518137
I like to smell good, it's very pleasant to catch a whiff of a scent you're wearing, and I also feel that it's one of the few ways a guy can accessorize. Maybe a girl will even notice, one day! I like to have a wide variety in my collection, although to be fair I've dropped to buying decants/splits. Figure if I like something enough to get through a decant of quickly, I should buy a full bottle.

I like the idea of a signature scent, but there are just too many awesome smells out there to pick one. I don't know how anybody does it.

>>13517889
Is this fucking real?

I love Terre d' Hermes!

I blind bought Fahrenheit Le Parfum for $85 off of the recommendation of Smells Great. At first I was kinda regretting my purchase, but the dry down is dumb comfy, I really liked it. It's also the only Fahrenheit bottle I think looks visually appealing because of the proportion between the bottle and cap. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. Anyone else blind bought and been pleased with their purchase?

>>13518253
Generally, I'm not a big blind buyer unless the deal is a steal. Only thing I've blind bought was AdG Profumo Special Blend. I really like it, although I don't wear it that often

>>13517666
what fragrances have you bought

>>13518243
from what I've read here this general's opinion on it is "old man's smell". Is it right?

>>13518253
I only ever blind buy.
Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo - expected shit, but somehow this smells amazing on me and the performance is almost disgusting for a release in the age of watery fragrances - easily 14 hours on me.
Boucheron Quatre - somehow they made a perfect fragrance for me and it's cheap as fuck.

>>13518272
Nah, /frag/ loves TdH. It's a great scent, generally only youngfags tend to hate TdH because of the vetiver. It's appropriate nearly year-round, and almost any situation. I thought the same thing when I first started getting into fragrances, but once I got older and gained an appreciation of vetiver, it really started to shine.

I wear vetiver fragrances all the time and I've NEVER heard anybody say something like "you smell like an old man"

>>13518137
to drop panties. but seriously cuz I like to smell nice?

>>13518284
I've got Encre Noire for vetiver. Is it any similar? Better or worse?

>>13518290
Nah, it's a tad different. It's been a while since I wore encre noire (I own the extreme flanker though), but the vetiver is the star in encre noire. The other notes seek to compliment it and give that dampy forest smell. TdH focuses more on the orange, and the other notes all kinda hang out in the background. So you get orange + slight vetiver undertones, and as it dries down you get cedar + a pinch of pepperness. I think it's more that the vetiver combined with everything else gives that "old man smell" but I love it.

I wouldn't say one is better or worse than the other, but if you can wear Encre Noire with a straightface then I don't see why you couldn't wear TdH.

>>13517889
Dude, shut the fuck up, Gary.

>>13518137
Nobody cared who I was until I put on the fragrance.

>>13518137
-Self-confidence, I tailor my scent to my style and unlike what's fashionable, style never dies.

-Fun hobby: I'm starting to make my own fragrances, doing my best to resurrect older scenes and copy new ones and fractions of the cost because the market up on this kind of stuff is stupidly high.

-Social leverage: let's be honest if you smell great, other people will want to be around you because they love smelling nice things, they take pleasure out of it, and it you can give it to them you have just a tiny bit more leverage over them because hate losing thing that they have A) love and B) grown accustomed to. So if you can bring them that type of passive joy they'll remember you just a little more fondly (and scene and memory are very strongly tied)

-Life long joy: I might not be able to wear the super stylish clothing that young people are wearing when I'm 90 but I can use as smell fresh and wonderful. It gives me dominion over how people will perceive me.

>>13518253
That's why I always ask for samples at Sephora, There are enough dotted around my area that I could basically hit up a few and have like 30ml in a week or so. I also ask for a bunch of the little sprayers so I always have a scent with me to freshen up. So while the other guys are worrying about their deodorant failing them, I've planned ahead and am rotating into light scents mid-dinner.

Pro-tip: Always ask for extra, they just hand them out no problem.

>>13518346
>look Stacey, it's the poorgoy again
>haha i know, such a loser right?
>what do you reckon he'll want today

>>13518362
Oh there's also Barney's of New York, Nordstrom, Saks 5th Avenue, and a ton of other department stores I've hit up, I haven't seen the same associate accept maybe 2-3 times but now I've gotten samples from Tom Ford, Creed, Le Labo, and a ton of others. If you dress decent, don't be a dick, be patient, have basical social skills and space things out you can hustle your way into a couple hundred dollars worth of free fragrance.

>>13518382
Why would i throw away my dignity and go around jewing every shop for few bucks?
I know it's easy to do, and they most likely don't give a fuck when they make 50$ extra on each bottle they sell, but have some decency.

>>13518393
You are thinking way to much into it. I pass by these areas all the time on my way to and from work, I swing by sample a few, grab a few and get on with my day. It's really not that hard, and it's not like i'm some sweaty broke college student doused in Axe body spray panhandling for a few spurts of high end cologne to have a brief moment of experiencing what successful adulthood might smell like, lol. This is more like a fun hobby/hustle that I can get something out of, a pleasant way to kill time.

so, i've been lurking the past few threads as not to pop in here demanding to be spoonfed. however, i'm now putting in an order for some testers, and i was wondering whether you would recommend d squared he wood rocky mountain for men or hanae mori for men? i know you're supposed to buy the little decanter samples before you invest in a fragrance, but i don't mind blind buying because i can just give it to a family member for the holidays or their birthday if i put on a couple of spritzes and it's incompatible with my taste or body chemistry.
i dress a bit on the darker/black on black side with a lot of murky greens and earth tones mixed in.
also, a topic for the thread so it's not all about me and my purchases, what are everyone's favourite lutens scents?

>>13518346
I have a bunch of malls and stores where I live: Miami, but none of them carried Le Parfum; because of the fact that it's so sought after in the states I said fuck it and just bought it. Despite this, when I can I do try to get as many samples as I can get my hands on.

>>13518382
Have you thought about buying a 10 pack of portable misters and just filling those bad boys up from the samplers? I must admit the though has crossed my mind

>>13518409
Your idea of regifting bad blind buys works ok when you’re dealing with designer scents that are relatively inexpensive. When you start getting into niche bottles and are looking at 300.00+ per bottle, I’d think twice.

>>13518408
>some sweaty broke college student doused in Axe body spray panhandling for a few spurts of high end cologne to have a brief moment of experiencing what successful adulthood might smell like
Y.....yeah imagine that. Must be awful.

>>13518295
I have all 3 Encre Noirs. I can't into the extreme, to me it smells like lentils, or lentil soup cooking. The original is top stuff but I wish the opening lasted longer, the drydown is straight juniper to my nose.

>>13518137
Shopping addiction

>>13518424
So you're telling him he SHOULDN'T blind buy hyperexpemsive niche frags that are not as well-received as designer frags? Fuckin genius! Any other amazing life hacks you can spare??

>>13518414
Ha! Nah that I won't do, way to obvious, plus you'd miss out on flirting with the women working the perfume counter.

>>13518425
Tips, pits and bits, make sure they don't smell, same with your breath. Start there and work your way up the scene ladder. Plus you can always teach yourself to make your own perfume, it might not be at the level of the higher end stuff but you can get a decent collection going, plus it's a pantydropper when you mention you make perfumes as a hobby. Trust me, women love great smells.

It's great but fuck me it's expensive

Just bought a bottle of bleu de chanel parfum for 80 with a 30% bottle of Fahrenheit. How are both these fragrances i just blind bought them

>>13518520
Memed to oblivion. Everyone and their wife's son wears them.

>>13518507
FragranceBuy carries it how, though it looks like they only have the extrait.

Also, anyone tried Roja Kuwait? FragranceBuy has it, it’s relatively reasonably priced, and I’m kinda thinking of copping before it sells out.

>>13518520
BdC smells like generic department store trash

Fafrenheit is kinda nice after the gasoline top notes fades away

>>13518520
to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Dior Fahrenheit. The scent is extremely avant-garde, and without a solid grasp of theoretical perfumery, most of the notes will go over a typical wearer's head.

>>13518532
Lol dont worry I watch at least 2 episodes of rick and morty a day

>>13518525
b-b-but bleu de chanel parfum came out like last month..

>>13518557
Sauvage came out later and it's been already memed to oblivion. There's a reason to it, they're appealing, not bad at all, but do you want to smell like everyone else or be recognized just by smell? Having one meme fragrance is alright, but maybe choose one of the less common ones.
There are loads of "alright" fragrances that will make you stand out, why not explore a bit.

>>13517889
kys autist

>>13518525
I've never smelled Fahrenheit on another person. Youre right about BdC though. All iterations of BdC are pretty much "Oh, he's wearing cologne," the frag.

>>13518529
Excuse me, but the gasoline & cut grass top note is the best part about Fahrenheit you low-test faggot.

>>13518620
Where are you from? I smell it very often here in yuropoor (Poland, Czechia, Switzerland).

>>13518641
In the USA it is all about fresh aquatics "Shower" scents.

Posting here because I didn't see there was a new thread. Do you guys like Nautica Voyage? I've heard good things about it as a cheapie on YouTube then I saw Luca Turin giving it a 4 stars, I'm thinking about blind buying it just because it is so cheap.

>>13518672
Oh well, everyone here is a pretentious fuck so they buy Fahrenheit. Something like the wine "experts", you know. I'm surprised i don't see Creed that much here, it's perfect for people like that.

>>13518681
It is a hall of fame scent. It is a very good freshie that almost everyone (not fragheads) enjoy. The only down fall is it is the farthest thing away from unique. It is definitely worth a blind buy.

>>13518699
It must be that certain IQ level overthere

Stupid question!

Am I right in thinking the rule of thumb is 10 sprays per ml?

>>13518715
Forgot to add I’m asking about samples. I’m guessing the spray on them isn’t as powerful as it is on a full bottle.

>>13518429
I love the original it's my signature scent. tried the sport version but it smells like a jar of pickle juice to me. does it work for you?

i fucking hate last DHI reformulation

>>13518720
I like it, then I don't. The sweetness definitely makes it easier to wear in the summer, but Equus has the same sweet smell, but with Sequoia/redwood instead of vetiver, which I think works alot better (wood instead of moss).

>>13518725
We know. You said it last thread, too, and nobody gives a shit. Here's your (You), now fuck off, reformulation autist.

>>13518701
Wouldn't blind buy a fragrance that's overplayed. That's what free samples are for, you can smell what the hype is about and then move on to perhaps find a frag with similar vibe, but less common.
There are plenty of crowd-pleasers that are not as overplayed as what google returns on querying "top 10 fragrances men", which is how most people here buy their fragrances. Or go to Notino and sort by popularity.

>>13518727

Thinking of buying all these, thoughts?

Chanel Antaeus
Comme des Garcons 2 Man
Fahrenheit
Encre Noir Sport

I've smelled Anateus and Fahrenheit and really like them. I own EN and have heard Sport is more wearable on everyday occasions.

How spicy is Oud Wood?
Would it make sense to layer it with something like DB Homme or even Man in Black to compliment its woodiness?

>>13518794
en sport was a big disappointment for me. it smelled heavily of pickle juice. gave it to my friend, he liked it and got a compliment the first day he wore it.

Encre Noir smells like dank to my nose tbqhwy

>>13518715
>>13518716
Seconding this anon's question. I'm the fag who asked about how many ml do you get your samples on.

>>13518701
>>13518746
It's worth mentioning that Nautica Voyage (actually almost all Nautica) is not sold on my area.

>>13518715
Eh, give or take. I'd say I usually get 2-3 wears out of a 1ml sample. But obviously it depends on what it is. I got a 2ml sample of Tuscan Leather and that probably did me 5 wears because of how strong and pungent I found it.

>>13518137
Makes my fits 3D.

>>13519010
Thanks. I ordered a bunch of 1ml samples. One was Tuscan Leather so I’ll see what the difference is between that and Mugler Cologne in terms of number of sprays. Should be interesting.

What's the best 'just got out of a shower after a satisfying gym session' scent? I've been using Kenzo Homme for quite some time but I'm looking for something new.

>>13519100
Depends what you want to convey. Mugler Cologne is cheap and will make it smell like a 6ft bar of soap walking around.

I missed out on GPH1 cause I hadn't into frags yet but got this to see what was up since they did well with GPH2. Currently smell like a cedar plank. No sweetness, no incense or anything else at all besides a fresh cut piece of cedar lumber, and it's awesome.

I've read about dylan blue, but I do own a bottle of sauvage. I read theyre comparable? I also have a 10ml of BDC EDP which I also read is comparable to dylan blue.

>>13519588
give me a quick rundown on all of these pls

>>13519656
The notable ones:
Dior Homme Cologne - great lemonade summer scent
Thierry Mugler Amen Pure Malt- great boozy late night scent
Versace Pour Homme - great clean soapy scent
Verace Eau Fraiche - great clean summer scent
Lanvin Avant Garde - great warm, sweet date scent
Creed Aventus - Creed Aventus
YSL L'homme - classic mass appealing scent, terrible longevity
Sauvage/1 million - Chad's night out clubbing
Zegna Uomo - one of my cheapest and best smelling summer scents. green and crisp. great for office.

I guess I'll just get 5ml samples instead of 2ml since I'd be paying 60 bucks for the 2ml but roughly 90 for the 5ml. And I don't know if 2ml would be enough since I'm mostly getting freshies.

Depends on the frags. 5mls will last you a while but you could also get more samples of you so chose

>>13519517

>>13519715
US? decantshop is running a deal for 25% off 3mL right now if you want to take a look

I'm looking for a scent for the fall, ideally I want something that still leans on the fresh clean side of things but most notable I want there to be a real spruce smell (I love that smell). I don't know if it's me -as I don't yet hav the nose to distinguish- but I feel like there is a big difference between pine and spruce.

Any suggestions?

>>13518272
>>13518284
/frag/ does *not* love TdH, you do. It's definitely not a consensus like Dior Homme or Pure Malt.

That said, it's a good fragrance and the vetiver paired with the citrus notes is often associated with mature people by the average person. It's probably one of the worst blind buys out there

Looking for something for my wife.

Something that a really high end stripper would wear.

Any suggestions?

I bought a sample of perfume, and I really like it, but my skin consumes it fully in a few hours. Is it worth buying a full bottle for something that only lasts three hours absolute max on me?

>>13520481
Uhh to clarify, three hours max meaning, after one hour its less than 60% on me. Two hours I can still smell it, but it isn't strong, three hours in I can smell the vague scent of it.

>>13520481
Depends, is it cheap? If it's cheap then you can buy and even carry around a decant to reapply during the day.

>>13520517
Its 180 for 100 ml so it's not very cheap, reading fragrantica it apparently lasts longer on clothes but I can't really get a good gauge because the sample I bought doesn't come with a sprayer.

>>13520529
Bear in mind that with a larger bottle you'll get far more perfume comong out when sprayed compared to a sample. I had the same thing with Pure Havane, the sample lasted 2 or 3 hours but I liked it and when I got the full bottle it lasted 3 times that easily.

That said, if you're not 100% convinced I'd say maybe try other things? It's a lot to drop on something you don't sound sure about.

>>13520355
Some roll on from Zara had really great smell.
I fucked my GF 4 times in a row it smelled so good.

>>13520600

>>13520273
How is the longevity? I'm leaning more towards the Eau from the DH line because of this. And then there's the anons that reported the Intense's longevity being crap on latest buys, it seems everything is turning into a Hermes 1 hour frag at this point.

>>13519867
Honestly the only good scent in the lineup other than maybe libre when it comes to actually staying on your skin. Glad I bought a bottle before they inevitably discontinue it.

absolute shit performance lol, i guess i put it on out of habbit, but pretty much as soon as the liquid left the bottle, the scent evaporated before even landing on my throbbing veiny neck...

/frag/'s new forced meme

>>13521631
Yup. No posting fragrances you like in the fragrance thread anymore. Some autist might accuse you of trying to force a meme. From now on, onlyshitposting and currently established memes are allowed. Content or discussion are strictly forbidden. Anyone breaking this rule must fight Jeremy over a can of Sauvage Very Cool spray.

>>13517889
The absolute state of /frag/.

It’s here!

>>13520636
>>13520779
Sorry, Lubin Idole is the fragrance, I can't quite figure out what it reminds me of but its something from my child hood and its a really comfortable scent. But like I said, it goes away so fast. I've heard scents last longer in the fall and winter though, and it is humid and hot as hell.

>>13522059
Chads always cum quick. Got shit to do, no time to be wasting on blowjobs. Get that shit in her mouth, spurt in 30 seconds, spoon her for a minute, you’re not an animal, then off to do more Chad shit.

Only virgins last forever in bed.

>>13522116
>Only virgins last forever in bed
Holy shit you are fuckin retarded! Do you not realize that what you said is the exact opposite of how it works... A Chad would fuck lots of girls and get his stamina up, while a virgin like you would cum in like 3 seconds from the excitement of actual female contact. Try doing some research before you run your mouth next time you do nigger!

>>13522251
Just go back dude, seriously

>>13522251

>>13522251
Dude, shut the fuck up, Gary.

lucky scent has the nicest looking site for samples, but so far it seems to have fewer things in stock as samples than the other sites listed. where do most people get their samples from?

>>13522516
luckyscent is great for niche
i use decantshop for designer and larger niche samples (plus samples larger than 1mL come in spray vials)

>>13519651
Dylan Blue is less dry and dusty than Sauvage and more aquatic/showergel. It smells amazing, I've worn it every day for the past two weeks which I rarely do with any fragrance, and I got complimented on it a few times even.

>>13521826
How do you like it? I don't know shit about this fragrance but I remember you from some past thread.

>>13522516
they have a lot of hard to get stuff but those dabbers barely have anything in them. I get a lot of stuff off ebay if they have it.

>>13522597
Love it. It’s so unusual, it’s clove + apple + coniferous forest with a little hint of citrus. Looking at the notes, it’s not something I’d think I’d like, but I do. I can’t stop sniffing my wrists. Definitely give it a try if you like foresty scents.

>>13522516
Luckyscent only carries niche fragrances. If you’re looking for designer samples, I like surrendertochance. Very good selection and customer service.

>>13520600
What is this? Sauce?

>>13522516
between surrender to chance, perfumed court, and luckyscent i can find whatever i want

>>13522532
>decantshop
any particular reason decantshop was taken out of the OP (i use to regularly do OPs for /frag/ and could've sworn it was in there)? i still do business with them and never had any complaints

>>13523860
About six months back some anons reported issues with decantshop. It seemed like enough to not recommend the site anymore.

"sophisticated boomer" the smell

>>13524234
I don't seem to recall that. I've used decantshop for a while and had no problems. Better designer variety than perfumed court at least. Anybody else confirm?

>>13524369
>>/fa/?task=search&ghost=&search_text=Decantshop

There was a small batch of negative comments last fall. I can put it back but the whole OP pasta needs tweaking so maybe in a few threads.

Is reforumulation actually a thing, or is it just people coming to realize that they didn't like a fragrance as much as they did initially and use reformulation as an explanation for it?

I have a question:

Why girls like Invictus? Do they like both opening and drydown?

>>13524662
So, reformulation is definitely a thing that happens. YSL La Nuit got dicked by it, and the one that I have experience with being reformulated is D&G Pour Homme.

It got a bit exaggerated though, with people even going as far as to be autistic over things like batch numbers (see creed aventus) so now if you think something was reformulated, then you're apparently retarded.

>>13524718
Le Male reformulation was crime against humanity. Batch number autism is ridiculous though.

>>13524558
I’d add sites to buy actual bottles, too. FragranceBuy and Fragrancenet at least. People ask about that way too often.

>>13524662
Both. Reformulations do happen, but probably 75% of the time when someone claims a scent was reformulated, they’re just retards.

trying to start a small frag rotation that will cover all occasions year round. ordering decants of Green Irish tweed,Valentino uomo intense and Acqua di Gio Profumo.

what else should I try out as someone who's only been using La nuit delhomme for 2 years. I got bored of it and realized it doesn't have much longevity. I want a 3 frag collection ideally. Fall winter, summer/spring, and date night/nighttime frag. Also I'm close to New York so I can go hop around Sephora's and Barney's like the dude above said to get some samples.

I like your selection.

>>13518039
Bump for this one.

>>13518193
No.

>>13517684
>fragrance is overwhelmingly described as a winter frag
>wear it in summer

Possibly my favorite purchase of the year right here. Now I want to cop the entire series.

>>13525308
what size bottle did you get. also how would you describe the musk? the overall composition sounds like an avant-garde interpretation of old 1920s and 30s style perfumes, seems pretty cool desu

>>13525103
Unless you spray too much or it is really sweet or something like that it shouldn't matter most of the time.

Grandma's Bathroom, the Fragrance

>>13525372
your grandma had good taste in potpourri. most of the time it smells like apple, rose, or lavender. not woods, smoke, and spice

>>13525318
I blind bought the 120 from Fragrancebuy for ~$95 US. I'm not a musk expert, but the closest match to the HdP's musk note in my collection is Bond New York Musk. It is not overtly sexual, yet still very thicc and present. Not like Kiehl's Musk at all, and richer than Body Shop White Musk.

What I enjoy most about 1.1 is the continuous interplay of orange-amber and aldehyde notes that play on top of the musk. It's hard to isolate just one of the top notes, giving the impression that the scent is always moving and sort of alive. Along with CDG 2 this is one of my favorite uses of aldehydes in a fragrance.

1.1 is full of contradictions. It feels like a heavy amber wood scent, yet it wears as lightly and airily as Versace pour Homme. It should be too sweet for summer days, but it wears beautifully in high heat. It makes the initial impression of a people pleasing mall scent, yet it is so much more engaging than your typical Chanel.

Longevity is all day, and I can smell it on myself at the end of work.

>>13525393
>blind buying niche
wew lad

sounds like you are more than happy with your purchase though, grats

>>13524558
seems like people were just mad their shit didn't ship immediately. i do admit that sometimes they take 3-5 days to get an order out, especially after sales, but my last few orders shipped in a day or two. i cut 'em some slack since i can't imagine it's a big operation

no clue about people calling it a scam though. maybe it's just bad rep that happened when they first started, like Fragrancenet use to have that hanging over them but now they are reputable.

>>13518681
Gave me a headache. Dry down smells like cat piss.

Speaking of CDNIM, i've just got it but the scent seemed pretty flat and ordinary so to say. I can recognize all the notes but all they say is "that's a male fragrance" and nothing else. Disappointed

>>13518777
It's my recent discovery.
I tried 4 of them (00, 02, 07, 09), gonna buy 00 and maybe 07 in foreseeable future. For unknown reason 00 reminded me of Opus IX which I highly admire, but more wearable.
And to my nose, it was "more jasmine less rose" than I expected before.

bought my first real fragrance and man it is strong. only used two sprays but i feel like im bothering people at work

>>13526512
Tell us which is fragrance it is you dumbfuck. What's with all the retards posting vague shit itt?

>>13526585
because i like it and i dont want more people using it

what’s a blessed unisex/female fragrance? i use tam dao now because i got it at a winners for $70 but the longevity is so trash

fuck off

I recently bought a deo stick of „Blue Water“. My go to fragrances right now are „Ultra Male“ and „Wow!“, but damn, the stick is perfect for summer days.

This honestly. It's cheap enough and you'll stand out amongst most people who probably aren't wearing any frags at all.

>>13526914
Like I said. No one important.

>>13526914
and reddit gets billions. 4chan's alexa rank is well below most media sources, even the drudge report and breitbart are well above /pol/. stories like the comey letter or the access hollywood tape had far more influence over voters than /pol/ memes

>>13527123
I don't neccessarily care about Stacey's opinion on me, but i'm pretty sure i would be disappointed by myself if i went around jewing shops for samples.
One trip around the mall and i can have enough food samples to cook a lunch, for dinner i can go to the next mall. But how desperate do you have to be to do this, just to save couple € ?

>>13525888
What's your thoughts on Sapientiae Niche Anon?

>>13520561

>>13527230
I mean honestly I feel like there aren't that many great options at Sephora worth trying. I usually only go once in a while (like I'll hit up all the sephoras on my way back to visit my parents)

I have more samples than I know what to do with, and more bottles of stuff I need to wear anyways.

>>13527073
Which has nothing to do with anything. Also, I’m not American so fucks given = 0.

>>13527273
Well, I didn't expect this to happen so I guess I'll have to explain it. I don't really own Heroin but I liked how it smelled on me when I tried it (I ordered a summer sample collection, the guy sent me the wrong samples and took forever to send me the tag for me to send it back to him for free, so in the meantime I tried some frags. With that said), I really like the longevity of the fragrances, which come mostly on parfum concentration, and they project pretty well, but I just find most of what I tried (the ones that aren't from the summer collection) too sweet for me. From the six (I think) I've tried the one I liked the most was Time Traveler, which smells kinda herbal to my nose and has some spices and woods.

>>13527403
Many thanks, I was looking to test them specially the summer collection indeed.
Its good to hear about it because from reviews I thought their frags are more into the medicinal area due oud or vintage alike, I will cop 8ml collection after they hit discount again...
The time traveller sounds like my Jam tho.

>>13527450
Do you come here often? I can post impressions on the summer line when they arrive.

>>13527469
Feel free anon, I lurk at here quite a bit and Im pretty sure it will be seen...Besides maybe there's more interessed pals lurking.

should i get incanto charms by salvatore ferragamo? anyone use the brand?

>>13525393
Any examples of overty sexual musks?

>>13527496
Lutens Muscs Koublai Khan or Kiehl's Original Musk.

>>13527496

Literally just buy an animalis base (musky one, not the woody one), musk ambrette and musk ketone (the actual ketone, not the replacer)

>>13527081
>he thinks Invictus is some obscure, secret calone
>he thinks he's keeping Invictus obscure by not mentioning it in 4chan

>>13518039
I had a sample and didn't really like it, the dense woody-incensy base overpowers everything else. It'd be nice if the wood notes were more unique, but to me it just smelt like the standard woody base that you get in most mainstream masculines, E.g. bleu de chanel.

>>13518137
I like things that smell good.

>>13518272
I don't think it smells "old man" or in any way dated, it just comes across as quite serious and mature. Smells good, but just not what I'm after at 22 (ironic given I wear Guerlain vetiver which is actually dated and "old man" smelling).

>>13525888
How do you like Declaration d'un Soir, I just blind bought it cause it was so cheap

>>13527938
Thanks, already got Dior Fahrenheit on the way! Ill look into the other ones

>>13527710
I really like the rose and sandalwood combination on that one. Smells really romantic or sensual to my nose. Performance is also really good. I'd be my go-to date scent if I had someone to go on a date with.

>>13527710
I forgot to mention that some people may think it smells like an old lady on the church which I don't entirely disagree with.

>>13525770
L'Artisan Fou d'Absinthe
TFPB Noir de Noir
Creed Himalaya

>>13526707
I don't think so, it's very different from YSL "subtle vibe".
Aggressive, harsh.
I have the second bottle of it in my collection but bought it only because of my youth obsession with this smell and fear that I couldn't buy it later
Performance wise it's a monster, though.

>>13519588
I dont think you should have that many colognes

>>13528157

people who are into "collecting," regardless of the objects they are collecting, are irrational and brain-damaged

>>13528180
Yeah! Fuck you for having hobbies and interests!

>>13528224
"buying stuff" is not a hobby

>>13528180
what makes you think i'm collecting just to collect?
I wear almost all of those

>>13528275
Sure it is. Buying things that are related to an interest you have is pretty much the definition of “hobby”. Hell, even just shopping itself can be a hobby if it’s something you enjoy and do regularly just for the sake of doing it. But you’re just angry that you don’t have the money to be able to enjoy nice things so this is all really just a waste of my time.

>>13528337
I think the issue is just in that he cannot fathom a reason -other than mental illness- for a person owning more than X amount of fragrances.
I own that many (~30) because I like to wear different ones each season and for different occassions/times of the day. Sure I could own 2-5 and just wear those, but it's like having a small wardobe - it's not as fun or interesting (as it is a hobby for me) for me to wear the same couple items/fragrances each day/season.
I also think the general public considers wearing fragrances an extremely optional thing to do, which makes it easier for people to wonder how/why someone would want/need 20-30+ bottles.
At the same time I look at people with massive collections of fragrances (200-300 bottles) and I think to myself what this anon said >>13528157
.So it's all perspective really.

>>13528434
See, the fact that it’s fragrances, to me, doesn’t make the amount excessive. Some people collect. The point of a collection is to have a lot of them. I have a friend who collects shot glasses from all over the world. He has 107 of them and counting. That’s his thing. He enjoys it. I think as long as it doesn’t negatively affect a person’s life (like, they aren’t going into debt doing this shit), then why not? Fragrances are no different from anything else. Shot glasses are an optional thing to own, but it isn’t considered weird to collect those. No reason collecting fragrances should be.

>>13527491
So I've messaged Sanderson and he said he'll be shipping my frags either Friday or next week, so it might take a while for me to post about it.

>>13528447
I don't know why people can't fathom different hobbies. In another thread, I watched somebody try to convince me that a hobby is only a hobby if you can talk about it with normies and girls. Who the fuck cares? I like perfumery because of the wide variety of scents and I enjoy being able to describe what I smell now (which I feel like I can do.) A hobby can be anything somebody enjoys doing on a regular basis enough to take an active interest in. No need to overcomplicate it.

Just got my Acqua Di Gio Profumo. I am feeling signature scent right there

>>13528712
Now buy that Profumo Special Blend before it's sold out.

>>13528924
Can you tell me what's actual the difference? I sampled ADG before I bought, it wasn't blind granted the price I had to pay. What's the deal with Special Blend?

>>13529077
Almost no detectable difference at all. They supposedly got the incense from somewhere special or some shit like that but they smell the same, it's strictly a gimmick to get more shekels from goyim.

I got like 7 fragrances in my collection but recently added like 20 onto my wish list. I've been watching nothing but fragrance reviews the past week.

My question is, should I dive in? To me, collecting fragrances still seems like an incredibly weird hobby to have. I don't want to be known as the weirdo who has 30 bottles of fragrances. Still, I very much like fragrances, especially the psychological aspect so I might as well go all in. How did you guys make the jump?

>>13529099
1) it's not weird
2) no one honestly gives a fuck

>>13529099
Only do it if you aren't gonna come back in 2 weeks bitching and moaning about how expensive it is like a couple faggots itt do all the time.

>>13529099
i don't see how it's any weirder than other things people collect

>>13529116

I think most people associate fragrances with trying to impress other people, especially the opposite sex. So a big fragrance collection might be interpreted as being insecure or something. Still nobody has to see my collection. I still can't shake the weird vibes I get from fragrance reviewers on youtube who have 100+ bottles, even though they're perfectly normal people. I don't know, maybe it's just me.
