I only use DR Harris Sandalwood products.

Where to cop the cologne in the USA? I only find the aftershave when searching online.

what do you guys think of Kinski? I tried it in a shop and am considering copping.

Thoughts on AdP Colonia? Who would you say it’s for and when?

Right, rather than an endless loop of telling each other our fragrances are shit can you offer some advice?

I’m new to this, but over the last few months I’ve bought a few fragrances including some TF Private Blend. The problem is, I’ve been buying on a simple basis. Does it smell nice, yes or no? How do you actually learn to smell things in detail?

Obviously in Tobacco Vanille I can smell the Vanilla. In Prada L’Homme I can smell the Iris. But when I read the note breakdowns how do you detect all of the others? Is there a correct way to smell them? I assume burying your nose in to your wrist isn’t the optimal way.

>>13783048
For when you want to wear cologne

>>13783048
if you want to smell like a shitalian all the time

Im using mennen, old spice and gillette cool wave now. Will be buying axe phoenix off the net soon

>>13783054
it's like being a wine connoisseur, it will take a while and experiencing many fragrances to detect certain elements. go through and smell as many freshies you can and look at the notes, read about them etc.

>>13783068
This. It takes time and experience for your nose to develop. I have fragrances from back when I first started that smell completely different to me now. I have fragrances I used to love that I don’t like now. I have ones I used to hate that I love now. There are nuances to scents that you often don’t catch at first. Creed MI, for example, used to smell like straight up fruit candy to me, now I get a lot more of the salt, Iris, and musks.

any comme de garcons worth a blind buy?

gonna do a notino order and i prefer doing it in one go

>>13783191
Maybe 2. Other than that, not really. They tend to be fairly divisive scents.

>>13783054
I've had that problem of how i am going to get into fragrance as well. Doing the sample thing of trying them on my arm and smelling it every other time throughout the whole day to see how it performs and the note breakdown. I see the notes on fragrantica but shit, doing this for years i don't smell all of it, i just know what i like and a basic idea of what smells good to me lol

>>13783191
Wonderwood was my blind buy. Great everyday cold scent if you want to smell like you spilled pepper at your local lumber liquidators.

>>13783220
>>13783248
thx guys! thankfully i see that they're doing 2ml samples now as well, wasn't the case a few weeks ago during my previous order

>>13782959
how long do fragrances typically last? I got the burberry london one and it started to smell different after 4 months. Also, how long does it take for you to empty a bottle? Also also, is La nuit a good frag? I'm thinking of buying it this winter

>>13783297
I’ve heard La Nuit is piss-weak these days. It does smell incredible in my opinion, but when I tried it it didn’t last long.

>>13783297


>>13783297
Keeping your bottles away from sunlight and heat and they should last. Thats the only thing that might change the structure of a frag.

Also la nuit is alright scent. Too basic and npc if you care about wanting something different. Have a bottle that was given to me and its good if you want to wear something and not care about how much you have on

>>13783316
what is a non-npc fragrance? i also want to try dior sauvage and bleu de chanel but im sure they are even bigger npc's

>>13783297
a fine spirits analogy - the more oxygen in the bottle, the more chance for it to oxydize(change)

you can use an inert gas preserver in fine whisky bottles (even without they keep 5y+), but that aint an option for them frags :(

>>13783321
Who cares about it being "NPC" or not. Just means it's common. If it smells nice, it smells nice.

>>13783277

Those 2 are alright as well nothing special tho. Bvlgari has some good frags if you are looking designer though you should check it out. I recommend book by commodity its very versitile for cold and hot days and smells almost like santal 22 by le labo but C H E A P and lasts a good amount of time

>>13783375
>book by commodity
will look into that as well, i didn't like santal 22 but am a fan of le labo otherwise, money is not an issue per se ^^ (i've paid for rose 31)

>>13783297
It smells different because you started to notice the more subtle underlying notes. Happens with every frag I got.

worth a sample?
Wonderwood and Tam Dao are my favorite frags.

Even if Le Male is a meme, is it still a good dumb reach frag for when its cold?

It took me a couple weeks going through all the suggestions i've seen come up in these threads and ended up with Bleu De Chanel Parfum. It is god tier and imo a step above the new Sauvage.

What is the definitive slav fragrance? A fragrance that embodies slavs and russians

Every time I spray once directly onto my shirt/hoodie/top Im guaranteed compliments. Is there any downside to spraying directly on the clothes that I may not be realizing?
A girl I like gets cold pretty often at the movies and walking around so I let her wear my hoodie around her neck or as a blanket pretty often, pretty comfy feeling considering how good my clothes smell

CdG Zagorsk

>>13783907
This is more like it. Very good suggestion my friend.

I bought Narciso Rodriguez for Him EDT already having the EDP and came to realize that both perfumes share enough similarity (not that much in smell but in occasions I'd wear them) that I might just end up reselling it. Do you guys also think these suit similar situations?

Does anyone else like this? I think I'm the only one..

>>13783987
Don't bother with the current formulation. It doesn't last. Buy the Belcam Classic Match version from Walmart for 8 bucks. Lasts 12+ Hours and smells like the Cosmair version from the 80s.

>>13783987
Why do some of you waste your money on shit? I don't even want to be pretentious. I'm far from rich. But I'd rather 1 great fragrance than 3-4 meh ones.

>>13783412
I think it smells like shit after the first hour.

>>13783987
My jailbait neighbor likes polo green

>>13783412
It's not even a meme. It's synthetic garbage. You can buy 100 fragrances "for when it's cold" that are better than le male

And the “it’s shit” spiral has begun.

>>13784031
>stop disliking what I like!

>>13784012
ill pick up a bottle and see how it compares, I mean its only 8 bucks lmao

>>13784033
It’s fine to not like the same things or have differing opinions. Half the posts in the thread being “it’s shit, you stupid faggot!”, is what’s killing these threads. Give an opinion, explain why you feel that way, don’t just shitpost.

>>13784039
I doubt you'll be dissapointed. It's a bit more "rough" and not as well blended obviously. A bit mossier. But I actually kinda like how rugged it is compared.

>>13784065
I agree with this post desu. I personally can't stand Le Male or Ultra Male. Both smell like a bad tasting candy or some shit. They smell like really low quality fragrance oils are used. They smell generic. They smell outdated. Le Male is no better than something like one million.

Reposting my question last thread about solid cheap - midrange frags, want to fill out my collection and try as many as I can while I can

>>13784115
>>13784153
Shit frag, don't bother with this unless you want to smell like a normie pleb.

>>13784445
Smells exactly like invictus which is just okay. Ridiculous compliment getter tho.

Question about longevity. What and how strongly should drydown smell like on a relatively good performing cologne. I have fragrances that are both know to be good and bad performing but their drydowns are indistinguishable. I mean that, towards the end of my day, I get a very very faint smell of the cologne but that's pretty much it. Is this a good drydown?

>>13784446
It does NOT smell like Invictus, if you wanna smell like Invictus, buy invictus...

>>13784537
lol yes it does. A citrusy invictus with better longevity.

>>13782965
Interesting, thank you.

Recommend me some decent shit for under $100
Only reply if you've gotten laid in the past two weeks

My sample of Grey Vetiver arrived and I so want to just buy a full bottle on first sniff, even if I would only wear it to work

thoughts on this?

What are some comfy scents? I want to smell like the perfume equivalent of jazz

If I'm wearing something strong and as grassy and vetiver heavy as Eau Sauvage Cologne, would it be wise to just half my usual applicatio sprays for work? Go 1 maybe 2 on the chest rather than 2 on the chest, 1 on the wrist?
Can't be having me making the restaurant reek of vetiver

>>13784759
Jazz club

>>13784817
Apparently it smells like a worse Burberry London.

>>13784759
Jazz isn't just boring white dudes at a smelly club ruthlessly addicted to heroine. Jazz is constantly reinventing itself. Not the lullaby you can catch late on public radio, but the boundary pushing music of and for intellectuals.

Any scents that try to put all of that in a box are so pretentious. You want to smell like jazz? Try something original. Better yet, make your own God damn perfume.

>>13783966
which one are you keeping?

Trying Spicebomb Extreme on my skin for the first time and this might be the quickest I’ve ever been inclined to think I’m wearing a masterpiece. Every time I get a little waft of it it makes me smile. It reminds a little of Noir Extreme, but with added spiciness. It’s a little more subtle too.

What do you think of it?

How do I avoid falling into the trapof buying samples and having more frags than I know what to do with? I'm peaking at the point where I've got quite a few...

>>13785083
Quite a few samples or full bottles?

I started buying this year and I’ve bought 10 in the last six months. Once I’ve got a couple more I’m interested in I think that’s it for me. We can’t tell you how to control yourself. If you have an issue with restraint you’re the one that needs to deal with it.

>>13785083
having a lot of samples is fine. they are easy to go through and throw away. bottles on the other hand are much more costly and you have a sunk cost that will make you reluctant to get rid of them. just set a time rule like every year only buy x bottles and y decants at the end of the year after rating. say, 3 bottles and 10 decants at 5 and 10ml levels. it will take time to try everything thats out there and frags you thought were 10/10 may pale in comparison to something you find down the road.

>>13784461
depends honestly. when i think of how the word 'drydown' is used i usually take it to mean the top and middle notes having left, leaving the base notes. this is not how all frags work, some are 'linear' meaning at the end how they smell the same as at the opening. when just the basenotes are left, the drydown period in colognes ive used go from maybe a 1 foot projection to skin scent over a period of 3 hours. exceptions were a couple frags i tried that projected across the room from one spray on my chest

>>13783297
great fragrance! really smooth and interesting smell, BUT, its fades quickly IMO, few hours after applying, it will be difficult to enjoy. But man does it smell great!

>>13785025
I'm not a fan, reminds me of too many generic sweet winter fragrances. I'm really glad you enjoy it though, wear it with pride. I've heard it's good on the compliments end too.

Is getting compliments on perfume only something that happens to Chads, or maybe an American thing?
I've worn everything from Sauvage and AdG Profumo to nose-killers like Interlude and have never had a woman even appear to notice my scent, much less comment on it.

>>13785162
this nigga ugly

>>13785162
I’m in the U.K. and have had two men say I smell nice and two women. The men are colleagues. The women were my mum and grandma.

I think it’s a cultural thing.

>>13785162
>Work with 25+ wiminz
>Walk past them at the office wearing Dior Sauvage
>Compliments for the entire shift

Really just depends on your environment, plus how close people are to you.

>>13785162
not sure what you mean by 'nose-killer' but interlude is not friendly to the average nose. crowd-pleasers of today are vanilla, citrus, aquatic and sweet.

Anybody have any experience with Serge lutens fille en aiguilles? Me and my brother really like it, but yesterday a girl asked me what trash perfume is was wearing lmao.

>>13785162
american here, only family members or dudes i know have said i smelll good

>>13785264
i do. its a wonderful perfume. a realistic and dense conifer scent. i have had compliments on it but i can understand how others might not like it. wear for your own enjoyment, spray conservatively for more polarizing frags i suppose

>>13785182
Somewhere, deep down, I always knew.

>>13785189
>>13785235
How much perfume do you guys wear?

>>13785239
I would have expected Interlude to attract at least some baffled or disgusted looks. Maybe I should have used more.

>>13785083
I've done the same thing, I just started setting myself a limit of saying "no more new ones till these are empty"

>>13785281
It depends on the fragrance. I can get away with four or five sprays of Prada L’Homme, but two of Tuscan Leather is plenty.

I tend to use two fragrances a day. One before work, one after I shower later in the day.

>>13785281
i see what you mean now by 'nose-killer.' def dont do that. some people may have just been being polite not to comment on interlude. do normal spray(s) and just ask somebody if they can smell it and what they think, dont fish for it

>>13784647
Sex Appeal by Jovan

Why do you wear frags anon? Is it to impress that office/work thot? do you feel more confident while you wear it?

>>13785281
Depends on the concentration and how strong I want it to be. EDT (eau de toilette) isn't as concentrated as EDP (eau de parfum). With an EDT though I spray both sides of my neck, my chest and rub a little behind my ears

>>13785378
I like smelling good, id say im pretty confident already and I have a gf.

>>13785378
i wear frags because i like the smell. sometimes catching a whiff will relax my mind

>>13785025
How does it compare to regular spicebomb??

>>13785378
For me it just feels kinda good. Nothing to do with confidence, really, if anything I get self-conscious thinking how intensely people around me can smell me. No office thoths to impress either

>>13785385
I’m afraid I can’t comment as I haven’t tried it but from what I’ve read the original is much more cloying and doesn’t last as long.

>>13785378
It’s nice to smell nice, it’s a talking point (potentially), and I work with chemicals that smell a lot so I can enjoy the smell of the fragrance rather than what I’m working with.

>>13785378
Personally, I appreciate the artistry in niche perfumery. Might sound pretentious, but I do. It is also a bit of a confidence booster for me, I always know I’m going to smell nice, which does make me (perhaps very moderately) more attractive to other people. I don’t really care if I get compliments, it’s more something I do for me. It is nice to get the occasional compliment, though.

Thoughts?

Trying TF Noir since I plan on wearing it to my work's christmas party and its kinda musty and might not be suited for that environment.
Should I cop a sample of Noir Extreme or just wear something like Pure Havane?

>>13785750
In my opinion Noir Extreme is close to perfect. There’s literally no reason not to get a sample.

Alternatively, try Spicebomb Extreme, which is similar to Noir Extreme, but less sweet and a bit spicier.

>>13785378
it's part of having style

Is AHSEE a good safe frag for autumn/winter palewave?

>>13785941
No, very dangerous.

>>13783704
I heard that some sluts dip their fingers in their privities then smear them behind their ears to make best use of the irresistible odor di femina.

>>13783800
slivovitz

>>13784925
Most likely the EDP because I like the smooth clean iris musky smell better than the somehow exotic wet concrete smell of the EDT.

>>13784925
>>13785990
Although I'm not sure yet.

Asking why someone wears fragrances is literally the same as asking why someone dresses nice.

What do you guys think about chanel egoiste?

>>13786061
to cover up or hide insecurities? to fake a personality?

>>13786137
No to smell good

>>13786142
but my fragrances help me smell like semen and sweat. Secretions Magnifique is the all time best frag.

>>13786146
Good for you buddy

>>13785981
uhhhhhhhh, nah dude

>>13786156
No, good for us. We are a fragrance community.

>>13785378
I enjoy fragrance as something to stimulate one of your senses that is typically neglected. Like listening to music but for your nose. Why not enjoy scent art while you go through your day?

>>13786146

>>13786445
Its not ignorance of a language. It was simply forgetting that a fragrance designed to smell like semen ended in an s. You dont need to know french to be into frags. Stop being an elitist thats why that other anon got shit on.

>>13786456
>I don't want to learn things so I lash out at people
Please learn to take advice without displaying your autism level.

>>13786461
It wasnt the advice. Its the way it was said. Like a cocky elitist. Its simple, dont be stuck up and you wont get trash talked. Its trash talk anon. Calm your autism its not done in anger, its done to to show you that youre being a bit of a wank. Its a common thing between people.

>>13786472
That's an awful lot of projection for a single post.

>>13786472
sad

>>13786482
It wasnt projection if more than one person saw it for what it was. What that poster could have said instead was “It is called Magnifiques but I could see how you thought it was Magnifique as Magnifique is also french for beautiful.” instead of being snarky and being wrong at that. Correcting me and either educating me or affirming me would have been a better alternative than the gatekeeping language that was used.

>>13786535
uhh yes

frags you like that normies hate
<----- for me it's Dior Sauvage

>>13786695
Strange, usually its frag elitists that hate sauvage because its a "safe" scent. I liked it, but stopped wearing it because a lot of other guys I interact with own it as well.

Recently purchased Penhaligon's Sohan and I dig it. It's spicy and slightly smoky and stays forever. It's strong though and doesn't need much to be noticed. I've never heard of this company but after reading reviews on it I was sold. First ever buying such an expensive fragrance. Any idea where I should next. I want Tom Ford's Oud Wood and Tabacco Vanille. And I really like sweet, but not floral. Help please.

>>13786736
Sauvage is not safe, it is assaulting to the nose.

>>13786759
tobacco vanille, oud wood is not particularly sweet

>>13784115
>>13784153
Thanks lads, wasn't something I was particularly keen on, nor Invictus either for that matter, but I appreciate your input

which fragrance is the best n why is it tuscan leather (smellin like a brick)

Hello guys. Where can I find the original Sex Panther? And the other question is how it actually smells?

>>13786967
Searched it on ebay, was surprised they actually make it. It's probably horrible
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2060353.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xsex+panthe.TRS0&_nkw=sex+panther&_sacat=0

I bought versace eros, looking to get something else to go with it but not sure what to go with. Definitely want longevity, maybe not massively popular (I know, I bought eros, but still seemed relatively uncommon compared to some other go-to ones). Don't care if it's strong/piercing. I have adidas moves but it doesn't have a sprayer which pisses me off

If any of this helps: 23, unemployed right now, most likely will not end up in an office setting anytime soon. Wear tracksuits a lot, pennsylvania so it's gonna be cold til april, KHV

Bought some fucken Sauvage deodorant spray today, big mistake. The can seems to leak a little and now my whole room smells synthetic ... I haven't even sprayed it yet

I know this isn't strictly fragrance related, but does anyone have any recommendations for a subtle smelling, aluminium-free deodorant?

>>13786971

>>13786967
>>13786971
I'm pretty sure this was never a real scent and was created after Anchorman came out as a movie tie-in. As such you can expect that it's celebrity scent tier and only suitable for novelty use.

>>13787149
This is why you don't pay attention to Jeremy videos. Always do the opposite of what the #fragrancearmy does.

>>13786888
Oh I know I just really like those scents. But if you or any other anon have any suggestions on a good sweet cologne I'd appreciate it greatly.

>>13787167
Too late, I already sprayed it on for the day.

My sister bought me a 10ml atomizer of Commodity Leather. Really nice, rugged leather that dries down to a warm cocoa. Anybody else have experience with this house? I heard Book is nice.

>>13787167
Idk, I fuck with Jeremy, seems like a cool guy

>>13787191
Strength.

Jeremy is retarded and just gets views because he's not disgusting to look at.

Change my mind

>>13787200
I would agree with you, and it is easy to write off someone that looks like him as a false prophet raking in views like a lot of fashion channel people. Except his passion comes across very clearly in his videos for fragrances, he is very sincere (unless he is great at acting). His unnecessary fucking batshit collection of 900 something fragrances that he displays in what I can only imagine is his fucking living room proves this. That and the how visibly taken back he is when someone does not end up liking a certain fragrance or ranking one over the other, and how he slaps them around in his hands for whatever reason.

>>13787200
you forgot about the girls in his reviews and the low hanging fruit that is "top 10 x fragrances"

>>13787222
I forget what video it was but he invited a girl on to rank colognes and she absolutely shits on his obvious favorites and she ends up loving CK Shock which is a cheapie and you can see on his face how bothered he is by her liking it. It's hilarious.

Why hasn"t jerememe given his own opininion on eros flame yet?

IS IT BECAUS TO POWERFVL =???!!!!

>>13787174
oud ispahan from the dior privee line is sweet, nicely balanced and high quality. the rose note is fairly dominant though, not sure if that'd make it too floral for you

>>13787133
Ebin :DDD
Have you tried proraso?

>>13787264
Eros flame is 5/10

Any good frags that'll go with a washed out, relaxed almost palewave like look?

Oh my god, I’m wearing Ombré Leather 18 for the first time. It’s less interesting that TL, but holy shit this leather smells so good.

>>13786668
Let us know what you think.

>>13787031
wear Eros and you'll remain a KHV

Clubbing frags - V&R Spicebomb Extreme, Versace Eros, or Dior Fahrenheit for a 21 year old college student? I don't want to smell like everyone else if possible.

>>13787629
Sex Panther. They’ve done studies you know

>>13787629
Fahrenheit isn't a club frag. Spicebomb is the nicest of those but is more for smelling good anytime, not a loud club banger for douches.

>>13787521
Update. Getting pretty bored of Ombré Leather now.

It’s kind of like somebody you barely know talking to you for hours about their life you don’t care about. You just want something to break the monotony.

The dirtiest and most disgusting frag I have ever tried. I blind bought this and ended up paying the price. I tried it at a store and it wasn't that bad but the bottle I got from frag net smells just awful.

YSL Jazz.

It's a meme. I think I'm a decent looking dude and have only gotten compliments from friends or family. Hell my own wife doesn't even compliment me. I don't think people are very open where I live in the Bay Area. I see hundreds of people a day at work in SF and never.a.single.one...

Commodity is very underrated and I like Leather almost as much as 1740 my favorite leather frag. Very animalic and long lasting fragrance. Vetiver is my favorite from the house but Book is also good for the winter, smells like the library at my east coast liberal arts college.

Any tips on what kind of fragrances fit my aesthetic?

So far I have sampled a handful, but would like to get more into fragrances.

Fahrenheit - strong dislike
Cool Water - soft dislike, smells like my dad
Bvlgari Man Wood Essence - like
Dior Sauvage - love

How does Vanille Fatale compare to TV or Noir Extreme? Scentsamples uk is out of stock of NE and its a toss up between VF or TV....

How does one (Jeremy) wear garbage like Dylan Blue when he has seemingly unlimited money to spend on top tier scents?

If I want a fresh citrusy scent for work in summer, is Tom Ford's blue bottle line worth looking at? A bit pricey for me but I don't mind saving up for a bottle.

I'm wearing jazz club atm and I get very very faint tobacco with a shitload of coconut. Not feeling it.

>tfw see lots of NPCs try to out-verbose their fav bloggers
They don't even hide the fact they are using the same phrases and quips.

>>13785341
I actually have a bottle of that, it smells like burt reynolds

>>13782959

OP pic is underrated as fuck. Much etter than Tuscan Leather, less in your face and smells way more natural.

>>13788448
Spot on. Reminds me more of a barbershop than a jazz club. Mmm BtF is more "jazzy" to me than jazz club.

>>13788426
They are good, but given they don't last very but there are cheaper alternatives that can do the same thing, and that you don't mind respraying because they're a tenth of the price.

>>13788448
Try Frapin's Speakeasy if you want a more realistic 'Jazz Club' type smell.

>>13786296
It does have a weird note in there where I can see people saying it smells like piss. I had a wicked ear infection where bloody puss was coming out of my ears. It smelled soo bad and it projected so other people could smell it as well. At that time I was wearing Dylan blue Religiously. I went as far as to spray a q gip and wipe my infected ear with it. Till this day I associate it with that smell.

How many of you guys care about the bottle a fragrance comes in?

I just sampled Bvlgari Man Wood Essence and I do like the smell, but I wouldn't want to put the bottle in my bathroom.

>>13788408
Because it smells like Chad's piss and bloody ear infections, apparently. Hard to replicate in a pomp, effete niche brand or prive line. You need that chemical synthetic almost Pledge tier grittyness to effectively create the Chad Miasma.

Let's have some fun, what fragrance would you rec for:
A goth
Techno interests me guy
Charlie Sheen

Best fragrance for men under 20$?

>>13788671
>Goth
Just pure patchouli.

Got this 60's vintage Eau de Cologne for £40, 120 ml. Pretty well preserved and not a deep orange like other ones fro the 60-70s on eBay (they probably have gone off a bit)

>>13788671
>A goth
Comme des garcons avignon

anyone else have longevity issues with ysl l'homme? it's lasting like 3 hours on me.

thoughts on declaration d'un soir? could this be worn as a more casual scent?

>>13788671

Juliette Has A Gun "Not A Perfume" for that extremely synthetic vibe

>>13788286
Maison Margiela Replica Soul of the Forest
Serge Lutens Fille de Anguilles
Versace Dylan Blue

>>13788773
For me this leans a bit feminine. Nice rose + sandalwood combination. Don't think it's all that casual, though. To be fair, although I like the scent, I mind end up selling it just because I usually don't have occasions to wear this one. What is honestly keeping me from doing that is the gorgeous bottle it comes in.

been using this(prada L'Homme) for the last two years, fucking love it, however i would like to try a new scent, maybe something a bit more playful, but still somewhat similar. any suggestions?

>>13788936
How old are you?

>>13787286
Thank you very much! I'm super new to the high end fragrance world and I appreciate your help.

Go for Parfums de Marly Layton

Ok so I want to buy a new bottle since all my old ones gone bad. Thinking of getting TdHETF again.

But at the same time I feel trying something new and hoping it'll works with tropical weather. Anyone got any reccs of their own favorites?

Also how good are the frags being advertised in luckyscent's newsletter?

Does anyone know how many sprays of these equals 1 spray from a bottle? I tried it and it just gives you a little spray

>>13788999
It varies. There is no single manufacturer of these travel vials, and there are as many different factory sprayers as there are perfume brands. The all plastic ones sold on Amazon put out an amount similar to those of many bottles. At least 3/4 of the average.

>>13788989
Are you tropical Anon? I would say try Aqua Amara but it's discontinued now. If you're just after a different citrus freshie with decent performance, you're honestly spoiled for choice. Maybe try out Dior Homme Cologne.

Yeah I'm afraid so.

Just blind bought Orange x Santal btw. Let's see how it'll turn out.

Just copped vibrant leather by Zara. How'd I do gents?

>>13789148
The Leather series are probably the only Zara frags I'd recommend, even if they're overpriced ($29) in the US. Haven't touched Vibrant Leather, but Gourmand Leather is a solid club scent with next-morning longevity.

>>13787031
Fuck that frag, but it has great marketing. Undeniable presence.

>gift my bottle of Sauvage to a work friend
>it somehow smells like Aventus on him
Does anyone else get late drydown Sauvage mixed up with Aventus?

>>13788936
An obvious scent to try is Dior Homme Eau for Men. I'm not sure if it's any more or less playful, but there's a clear parallel to L'Homme.

>>13789249
okay well I have it, what is something to go with it as a second frag

>>13789275
Alright, alright... Maybe try Jimmy Choo Man. Get some bassier notes to stick with you. A bit of suede/leather with some lavender top notes. Something to balance out Eros for when you get sick of how rich it is.

>>13789264
Dior homme eau smells like a citrusy version of Dior homme. Still has the nice iris with a bit or fruit and woods.

>>13789275
Anything that is not vanilla sweet. Literally any other category. Aquatic, fougère, whatever. To throw out a specific frag, maybe look at Polo Blue EdP. It's basically the anti Eros.

>>13787776
Wore it tonight. It's very linear. Cozy, but doesn't change much at all. I think it will be better once winter starts in earnest.

>>13789301
My favourite everyday scent, fresh and manly.

>>13789301
I prefer coolwater.

>>13789384
I can still smell it now and it’s been nearly 24 hours. I sprayed Grey Vetiver over the remnants this morning and I can still smell it after that. What the fuck?

Personally I think I’ll just spend the extra money on TL myself.

>>13788711

I blind bought it too. It's nice

I don't usually wear Sauvage-likes but this is nice. Two positive comments so far today and the day is just starting.

>>13790231
For me, the best sauvage-like is ysl y.

Thread dying but thoughts on Serge Lutens Fille en Aiguilles?

Can't find a sample/decant anywhere and discount site said they're getting it in stock. Almost done my decant of Slumberhouse Norne (which I love but can't afford). I've read SL is similar, but I've also read it's sweet which I hate.

>>>13790231
>For me, the best sauvage-like is ysl y.

We've reached peak /fa/

>>13786070
I have it and it's my signature for fall/winter/colder days in spring.
great longevity for me, definitely recommend it and also the platinum version.

>>13790274
literally the second "w2c samples" in the op. please put some fucking effort into things before asking

Alright /fa/, can you rec me anything nice that won't break the bank too much? I'll tell you what I have so you get an idea of my taste. It will be something I'll wear in fall/winter regardless of the occasion.

eau de rhubarbe écarlate (summer)
cartier declaration (all year)
l'instant de guerlain (fall/winter, never daytime)
Terre d'Hermes (fall)
tom ford noir (going out)

all time favorite is gucci pour homme, but sadly that's discontinued.

>>13790384
because you arent putting any effort into your shit and expect others itt to be your personal search engine. they ship to canada, the rate is posted on their 'shipping' page

>>13789275
>Acqua Essenziale Colonia by Salvatore Ferragamo.
it's a soapy fougere.
>L'eau D'Issey Super Majeure
wonderfully rich and deep, almost salty scent.
>The One Grey
subtle and classy were my impressions, never wore it but it smelled great.

>>13790416
Anon, I am asking for some personal experiences with the smell of the fragrance. I have looked extensively at US sample shops and have concluded that paying upwards of $16-20 for shipping for samples isn't worth it, so most of my providers are from Canada.

How “safe” is AdP Colonia? I’ve been given a choice of gifts at work and it’s shit like golf clubs, power drills and, curiously, the above fragrance. I’d use the fragrance if it’s a good one, but if not I’ll get the clubs and sell them to a colleague that wants it.

Trying VUI for the first time. My first thoughts during the opening were “I should have bought this instead of DHI”. Now though? I love the chocolate in DHI so much and this fragrance just doesn’t have that.

>>13790438
Colonia is a very traditional, old world smelling fragrance. If you like the idea of a classical Italian barbershop fragrance, that's what you get. It's not hard to find a tester of AdP so why not sniff before you commit? Try Nordstrom.

Sampled a couple of Tom Ford PBs today.

Oud Minerale - much nicer than I thought it would be. But I prefer Oud Wood.

Tobacco Vanille - not a fan. Not horrible but not good at all imo. Smells synthetic

>>13790597
I’ve always felt that the opening of TV is one of my least favourite from Tom Ford, but the drydown is one of my favourite ever.

>>13790557
Thanks. I’m new to fragrances so “traditional” doesn’t mean much to me, but I couldn’t believe how long it’s been around when I first saw it.

I’m in th U.K. but there are a few places I can try it. I just thought if it was safe enough to blind buy I’d order it tomorrow. It’s free, in a sense, so it’s no major loss.

>>13790605
Waiting for the drydown then. I sprayed both 2 hours ago. I'll update you guys if you want.

>>13790597
I know it been said to death but Tuscan Leather is probably the greatest fragrance Ford has ever and will ever put out.

>>13790610
Never blind buy. Scents will vary on different people's skin.

Go to a store. Spray it on your skin. Smell throughout the day.

Do you like the opening?
Do you like the drydown?
Do you like the projection/lasting power?
Does it fit your budget?

If so, buy.

>>13790624
It's actually so good. Definitely top 2-3 tom ford

Hey guys is fragrancenet a trusted site? They have frags for cheap but i dont wanna get scammed.

>>13790624
When do you wear it? I desperately want a bottle but can’t think when I’d wear it.

When I was new to fragrances I didn’t know about projection increasing with heat and I thought I’d wear Tuscan Leather. 6 sprays. To a barbecue. In July.

I had to go to the bathroom and wipe myself down. It didn’t change much. It was fucking obscene. I tried to sit downwind but that fucking fragrance defied physics and went against the wind. It put me off wearing fragrances in public for a while.

>>13790645
I (like most people) was turned off initially when wearing it but then it just developed beautifully. To me it's the "perfect" scent. I have a collection of roughly 80 colognes that I've accumulated over the years (a lot of testers, cheapies, discounted sites cos I'm a poorfag) and I would in a heartbeat trade them all in for a few bottles of Tuscan Leather to last me the rest of my life. I have a few decants but once I get the cheddar up I'm gonna treat myself.

>>13790678
In the ice cold is when it truly shines, but I've worn it in hot summers. You screwed yourself with the 6 sprays man. That's fucking obscene. I only go 4 in the winter. And that's pushing it for me.

>>13790682
I don’t own a full bottle (I buy the odd 2ml sample if I have an occasion I want to wear it) but I feel like if I ever do it’ll be a 100ml bottle. I always buy 50ml (or smaller) but I just know that TL would last me years and years.

>>13790688
Like I said, new to fragrances at the time. Looking back I find it hilarious. Two on the neck, one on the chest, one on the back of my head and one on each wrist. I don’t even use that many for Mugler Cologne now, never mind TL.

>>13790690
Honestly, I'm looking at the 250ml. That'll last me a lifetime for sure.

>>13790694
Yeah, that's insane man. I actually prefer my colognes to sit slightly at the skin with just a bit of projection. I tired Rasasi's La Yuqawam because everybody called it the TL killer, but it's too sweet with that raspberry note and isn't as well blended. It's good, but I can tell the difference. Hell most people wouldn't be able to tell at a whiff, but I will, and I wear shit for myself.

>>13790707
Definitely the best value for money, but no atomiser on those things, sadly.

>>13790722
A Tom Ford atomizer is actually complimentary with the purchase of the 250ml. So I'd just carry it along with me like a basic bitch.

>>13790722
Just buy an empty atomizer. There are lots of interesting bottles on Amazon and eBay for cheap. That's what I did with my 500ml Royal Oud.

>>13790743

Oh, I had no idea about that.

>>13790744
Thanks. I don’t think I’ll be buying a 250ml but I’ll keep it in mind.

>>13790688
>Six sprays of TL

>>13790777
What do you think Tom Hanks smelled like in the Green Mile?

>>13790744
You buy that flacon at retail? Was it worth it?

>>13790801
Fragrancenet had a deal last year. $385 delivered. I think it was worth it though I've only killed about 50ml so far. I should get a decade or more out of my flacon.
