where to start with fragrances?
i would cop some mall tier shitter stuff but im not sure if this is a good choice, living in Spain btw

I'm fairly new at this, trying to identify some basic scents. Can you recommend me some solid choices in a decent price range (about $1/ml, hopefully not much more) for each of the following main scents/elements:

>oud
>vetiver
>bergamot
>lavender

This is for men, thanks.

>>13845566

Save yourself some €.

>>13845578
why would you buy something like that online?
wouldnt you want to know what it smells like?

im sorry but i guess i will try to get a basic understanding and only come back to this thread once i know what i want and what im looking for
Have a nice day everyone

>>13845595
I've bought upwards of 250 bottles, mostly online and mostly blind. Start with safe and popular scents and branch out as you learn what you like.

>>13845595
Go to the mall and try them, if you like it buy it online since it is a lot cheaper. It is a bit of a hassle but it saved me about 1/4 of the mall price every bottle

>>13845570
>oud
Tricky one as most oud based scents do it mildly. Try Tom Ford Oud Wood.
>vetiver
Lalique Encre Noir
>bergamot
Gianfranco Ferre Bergamotto Marino
>lavender
Probably something traditional like Caron or Aqua Di Parma Colonia/Colonia Essenza.

>>13845678
Lalique encre noire is $30 for 100ml, should I blind buy? Is that a good winter frag?

>>13845697
I'd recommend against it unless you've got cash to burn and don't care about throwing stuff away, it's an almost pure vetiver smell, but it's very much love or hate. Hell I like it but find it difficult to actually wear.

Post your spray routine lads
> 1 on each side of the neck, just behind the ear
> 1 in front of the neck (adam's apple area) I make sure I get some on my shirt too
> 1 on my left wrist
Total: 4 sprays

Can you pull off Chanel Antaeus as a 27yo college student? I like the scent but I think it might be too mature for me as I'm not in a highly professional environment

Also, any similar fragrances to Bvlgari Man Wood Essence with better performance? I love woody/masculine scents but it doesn't project at all. Bonus points if it's not too expensive

>>13845747
Almost the same as you except
>2 below the jaw (left and right)
>1 on clavicle/sternum bone below neck
>1 on the forearm

>>13845747
One on each side of neck behind ear as well, both elbow pits if wearing short sleeves, wrists if long sleeves, sometimes front of neck if it’s not too heavy a scent that more sprays will gas people out.

Also, if I know I’m getting laid, or I think there’s a reasonable chance of it happening, usually a spray or two on my chest and belly under my shirt. Girls seem to like that. I get them sniffing my chest a lot, telling me how good I smell.

>>13845747
Baseline: one spray in each armpit
Extra: +1 on chest
Plus: +1-2 at inner elbow
Depending on the strength of the fragrance.

I want to buy TF Oud Wood, should I wait and see if there are some sales next week though?

I tried Ermenegildo Zegna's Acqua di Bergamotto and the scent was truly intoxicating, but it was gone after barely a couple of hours. Can anyone rec a similar frag with more longevity?

>>13845857
Bump for this, I just got a decant and it's top shit m8. Where to cop?

Tried some random female eau de toilettes in H&M, they had a smell called T-Shirt and it was absolutely amazing desu, smelled like a freshly washed cotton T-Shirt. Are there any other smells like that, preferably not super cheap ones like that? Otherwise i'll jsut buy it

>Here's one the rest of the thread might find amusing, checked the website for Paint n' Powder in Royal Arcade, they are trying to sell Encre Noir for 145 AUD
Thought I'd get some (You)s out of this. I don't know what the RRP is but north of 300% of what I could buy this for online is obscene.

I'm 20 years old, would it be cringe to wear puig quorum? If so, can you suggest any alternatives that are similar but suit someone of a younger age?

>>13845953
What's a decant?

>>13845953
I was going to get it from fragrance.net myself, but if it could be cheaper next week I can wait.

Thinking about getting this. What do you guys think?

>>13845570
BONJOUR. TRY

>oud
TF Oud Wood, AdP Colonia Oud, Boss Bottled Oud, Versace Oud Noir, YSL M7 Oud Absolu, Perry Ellis Black Vanillia Oud Absolute
>vetiver
+1 Encre Noir, TF Grey Vetiver EDP, Mugler Cologne, Guerlain Vetiver + Vetiver Extreme
>Bergamot
AdP Bergamotto di Calabria, Le Labo Bergamote 22, Dior Homme Cologne, Atelier Cologne Bergamote Soleil (+1000)
>Lavender
Caron Pour un Homme, MMM At the Barber's, Azzaro Pour Homme, Guerlain Heritage, YSL Rive Gauche, basically fougeres are your friends

>>13845747
>1 left side of collarbone
>1 right side of collarbone
>1 right center of chest
This is all I can tolerate. I used to spray my wrists but it would get too cloying. Also, I moisturize my neck and chest before spraying with cetaphil cream. Never had any problems with longevity with even notoriously shitty performing scents.

>>13845977
Just mind the nozzle. Quorum is a powerhouse. I used to wear this is highschool. 2 sprays on the chest. Became a nice balmy tobacco which smelled beautiful 3-4 hours into it.

>>13846175
Yeah I have it, I read it was a powerhouse but didn't realise just how potent it was until I got it
Was just wondering if its too mature a scent for someone my age

>>13845570
Haven't tried these personally but Ferrari Radiant Bergamot and Pure Lavender both get good reviews and can be found very cheaply online.

>>13845570
Note that bergamot and lavender are more often used as blending notes than highlighted notes (e.g. as other anon said in fougeres).

>>13846028
Somebody sells you a small amount from their larger bottle. I got a 5ml decant from some guy for like $10.

>>13845890
Tom Ford Neroli Portofino Forte

What's your scent for tonight guys?


Mines Sotd: La Yukawam - Rassi

>>13846759
PR 1 Million Prive. Greatest flanker ever released.

Ordered three samples earlier this week that came in today:

Christian Dior Prive Line - Amber Nuit

Diptyque - Tam Dao

Le Labo - Santal 33

I am absolutely motherfucking blown away by Santal 33 so much that I won't even bother to comment on the other two frags. HOLY SHIT you guys. I have the biggest fucking stupid smile on my face right now. THIS IS THE ONE. I HAVE FOUND THE ONE.

>>13846851
I'm glad you like it, but it's probably one of the most overrated frags in my opinion. It's briny, celery-y, and the dry down is a generic sandalwood. I do pick up a bit of leather but... idk this is such a boring scent to me. I wanted to love the fuck out of it but I just can't. Glad you feel different, anon. If you found the one, you found the one.

>>13846851
>>13846857
Molecule 04 is my chosen sandalwood frag, but Santal 33 is nice too. Don't let people ruin it for you by comparing the opening to pickles.
Oops.

>>13845722
Have you tried encre noire sport? I'm getting conflicting reports on its similarity to the original

>>13846861
lbh here it does smell like pickle juice dried onto and old book page

>>13845678
>>13846161
tsk tsk! This thread used to recommend Creed Original Vetiver

>>13846759
based Rasasi wearer. I'm wearing Montale Intense Cafe, but it was a toss up with Daarej. I love both when I'm baked lmao

>>13846912
Sup dudes, I have all 3 Encre Noirs.
>Encre Noir
My favorite of the 3. Portland in a bottle. Dark, wet forest, with a quirky ink vibe ghat smells like old books. It sounds goofy as hell but I find it super easy to wear, and other people seem to also like it.
>Sport
Toned down from the original with a lot of added sweetness. Along the same lines as Lalique Equus or Rocky Mountain Wood.
>Extreme
Strongly dislike. Most people here like this version the best. To me it smells luke lentil soup cooking. I fucking hate lentil soup and I hate this fragrance.

I say blind buying is perfectly fine, at least for the original or sport. Not only because they're the ones I like, but because they're cheap as hell, too.

>>13846851
How does it compare to Creed Original Santal?

>>13846161
Not the dude you're replying to, but interesting oud recs. I guess I need to lurk more, I never see any ouds recommended here outside of TF, AdP, and YSL m7.

>>13845768
If you are at least 5ft 11inches tall, not a nerd and wear at least shirts and derby shoes or boots.

>>13845977
Sauvage

>>13847006
Encre Noire is the one of the textbook example of polarizing(like it or hate it) fragrances. A normie who loves sweet banana cologne from sephora blind buying it for example.

>>13847006
Fuck im really interested in both original and sport but it's not available for retail in Australia and no one is selling samples either

>>13847129
If you are close to Melbourne
>>13845970

>>13847133
Interesting, did they have the sport?

Any UK bros familiar with Murdock London fragrances?

best fendi fragrance?
what do you think of "fan di"?

>>13847150
Didn't see it online. Heading into town next weekend so I could check then or early the following week

>>13847108
>sauvage
literally everyone wears sauvage

thoughts on bleu de chanel?

>>13847442
Not a huge fan personally, smells too artificial to me, but I know I'm an outlier and it's otherwise a really popular and safe buy.

Amsterdamfag here. Just waiting for my flight now. They had pretty much the entire Tom Ford line at the duty free, including Fucking Fabulous and Lost Cherry.

I liked Lost Cherry, on my skin, I found it to be... pretty much cherry. But nice cherry, and I don’t really have any cherry scents. I did like Fucking Fabulous a lot when I tried it at De Bijenkorf as well, though. I wound up spraying one on each hand and asked a few of the sales qts which they liked better. They were split down the middle.

Eventually, I decided to go with Fucking Fabulous just because it’s more likely to be hard to find sooner. Lost Cherry just came out, it should be available for at least another year or so easily.

Also tried Vanille Fatale and a few others as well. Liked VF quite a bit. Kind of smells a bit like boozy banana pudding. May cop later.

>>13847536
Nice, haven't been keeping track, Schiphol?

>>13847129
feelingsexy have it, it's one of the first results on google lol.

>>13847548
Yeah. They have them at the big duty free when you come downstairs from passport control, and they also have a Tom Ford kiosk just outside of there.

>>13847536
Update: I’m starting to get some tonka and wood out of LC now. I’m digging it. Probably a cop later as well.

>>13847572
Cheers, I'll check that out if I ever fly.

>>13845857
>>13845953
Get this. It's clone close 99% to original. You won't be able to tell the difference blindtesting it with TFOW. Also it costs pennies, so you don't risk much.
Yours sincerely Arabian Oils Anon

>>13847581
They also have Amouage, so definitely worth a look if you’re in Schipol.

>>13847583
Thanks. Don't travel enough in Europe to fly, but maybe when I'm based in the UK in a year or two I'll get bored enough with trains to go by air.

Any experiences with taking testers from Selfridges/Harrods /londoners/? Are they keen on giving them after showing some interest or I must have a harem of wives in burkas with me?

I bought an A&F sample set and am liking Fierce but I can't seem to find a bottle for a reasonable price. What would make a good replacement?

>>13847442
I remember when I got a sample of edp and ended up loving it. It had this sweet and smoky incense smell which I really liked. It was warm and sweet. So I recently got the edp for my birthday and what the actual fuck it doesn’t smell anything from what I remember. Now it smells of pure amber and musk, very animalic with citrusy notes at the start. Idk maybe my nose is glitchy or something but I honestly don’t understand how the fuck it can be. The water I got is 100% original btw

>>13847648
My Antaeus bottle which I got from department store did that too.

>>13847701
So will it get better? Should I put it away for a while or what?

>>13847713
It's same scent you interpret differently for some reason, number of sprays, sprayed location, outdoor temperature etc.

>>13845747
>>13845788
spanish retard here
why would you spray your wrist?

>>13847789
You move this part of body most in front of you. In that way you spread your perfume. It's especially crucial with skin close scents. Otherwise no one will ever smell your frag unlike you'll get initmate

>>13847804

Any suggestions for woody/musky scents with good performance?

I want something for going out

>>13847432
Fahrenheit

I'm 26 and it gets compliments all the time, on a newer batch. Looking into vintage when my bottle runs out.

>>13847914
Wtf dude, browse the thread. It was answered in details before by people who invested their time in that

>>13847564
Online shop

I'm in love bros

>>13847108

>>13847108

I'm 6ft1, a bit nerdy although I dress nicely (button-downs with dark jeans or suit pants and chelsea boots)

I guess I'll have to try it out

>>13847026
Those are just some cheapie/best known ouds; a lot of them (like M7) barely even have any oud in them at all. You could also try Gucci Intense Oud (widely regarded as the best designer oud on the market at the moment), Creed Royal Oud (again, barely even an oud fragrance), Oud Ispahan and Leather Oud by Christian Dior, Black Afghano by Nasomatto, Jubilation XXV and Interlude Man by Amouage, Oud by Ashgarali, Oud Malaki by Chopard, or look at real Middle Eastern attars and shit like Areej Le Dore's oud series - Russian Oud, Oud Luwak, Oud Picante, etc. Oud is everywhere nowadays so you just have to do some digging.

>>13847026
>>13848059
Also would like to mention that Boss Bottled Oud is notable for being one of the only designer ouds at a decent price point that uses real oud, rather than the synthetic oud that's used by designers and niche houses alike. I also personally really enjoy it, plus you can find it for under $40. Decent fragrance for the fall.

>>13847950


Where? I can't find anything specific..

>>13848200
Look at the image in the second post, might help you to get some ideas.

New juice lads

>>13848361
Opinion?!

>>13848361
It’s solid, but probably not too appreciated by women under 30

>>13847648
BDC is not even close to being animalic musky Amber.
You either got a bad batch somehow or your nose is way off.

>>13847914
aventus

>>13847442
you won’t offend anyone, but it’s really generic. Any scent with the blue type accord smells like something a high schooler would wear.
My own girlfriend commented that it reminded of her dudes wearing Axe in middle school.

eu notino black friday deals - are they going to happen?

>>13847009
Creed and Santal 33 are not even remotely alike.
Santal 33 smells like dill pickles on an old dusty book in my opinion

Thoughts on Azzaro wanted by night?
I don’t want to waste time finding it if it’s in the same vein as 1 million

>>13848477
don't believe the people telling you it's much different than the original. yes it's darker and a bit spicier but the dry down is the same generic ultra sweet vibe you get from invictus and the like. if you have the original it's a redundant buy.

>>13848437
I know. But that's what I feel. I also saw someone on fragrantica mention that it's really musky and that it's weird

Best place to get free samples in Copenhagen? I went to Illum today on Stroget and they have everything to try out, but no one was giving out samples.

How important is it to wear frags adequate for each season? How bad is it to wear a fresh vetiver-citrusy frag like Guerlain's Vetiver in the fall/winter?

>>13848586
completely fine indoors in an air-conditioned work environment

There's this girl at my office and she smells really really good

Like you can be 5 feet away and still get this really strong sweet spicy smell

What is she using? Is she a succubus? Is she using magic?

Your opinion on Gucci Guilty Absolute?

I tested it today and although I don't like any Gucci fragrances AT ALL this one took me by surprise.

It's masculine, seems to perform very well and is very leathery and woody. I really dig it

>>13848545
Go spray again at the store. It must be a bad batch

>>13848597
Yeah Gucci got a new creative director recently and the house has been putting out some bangers. Definitely not safe scents though.

>>13848586
Fresh works year round. It’s only the fall/winter fragrances that should be avoided in warm weather

Well I guess I will get some TF Oud Wood but should I try to wait for sales on black friday or just get it now?

>>13848614


Yeah, it's really not safe for today's sweetness hype, but me and my girlfriend love that masculine scent. This will be my go-to for going out

>>13848594
yes sweet fragrances are in fashion
she's probably luring you in to pay child support, watch out.

>tfw fell for the molecule 01 meme

Smells like velour and medicine in my skin. At least its great for layering, but it does not smell good by itself. Good thing I've got the 30ml for cheap.

>>13848597


I liked that one, too, but I think the performance is a bit lackluster.

Is there something similar with better projection?

>>13848597
Very powerful and very much a love it or hate it fragrance. I'm ambivalent on it; I don't dislike it, but at the same time it's not something that suits me. Definitely brave for a designer.

>>13846129
How old are you. I have a bottle it is not a fresh youthful scent. It is what I imagine Prince Charles would wear. A strong dark scent like fine silverware or the inside of a Rolls Royce. Old money and power a suit and tie scent.

>>13848938


I wanted something different to the sweet fragrances you smell everywhere.

I'm in my late twenties and will definitely wear this on night outs

Interestingly enough my gf loves it as much as I do

Amsterdamfag here one final time before going back to anon posting. Here’s my haul from this trip. A little annoyed that my Fucking Fabulous is censored, but eh, what’re ya gonna do?

Someone asked me to post my collection when I get back, I’ll maybe do that tomorrow. Too tired to pull everything out now.

>>13848625
I got 50ml for 137, did I do well?

Whats the current meme fragrance every meathead on a night out wears so I know to avoid?
shit like 1 Mirrion and invictus?

>>13848939
Im 20 lmfao.

>>13849083
Sauvage.

Is Boss Bottled Oud a good beginner oud scent? considering ordering a sample to test it out

/frag battles/

1. Reflection Man vs Prada L'homme
2. Creed Aventus vs Armaf CDNI
3. Valentino Uomo Intense vs Dior Homme Intense
4. ADP Colonia Leather vs TF Tuscan Leather
5. PdM Herod vs TF Tobacco Vanille

>>13849120
Tobacco Vanille for a more masculine experience and Herod if you want to smell like vanilla frosting. Really neither are bad.

>>13849120
I’mma go:
- Reflection, no brainer, L’homme doesn’t even come close
- Aventus is overrated in my opinion, by CDNI is awful
- I like both, but DHI is a bit better, I think
- TL
- TV, but Back to Black is better than both

Anyone here have TF Ombre Leather? Looking at picking it up soon but does it actually last a while?

first night wearing the stuff

>>13848412
fantastic frag. has a certain je ne sais quoi, the sort of aventus effect, which makes me feel powerful and elusive. one of the classic mens frags for a reason. unbelievable value now that i know how nice it is
>>13848425
hmm was expecting this but think its more of a question of class and taste and fitting the 'profile' and image guerlain frags conjure up in the mind. i wore it tonight and did manage to get complimented by a girl, and im only 21, but anyway fuck what women think if you rock with it

>>13849147
smelled it the other night along with a few other new and new-ish releases from TF. wouldn't blind buy (sounds like you are) but its great value and couldn't differentiate from the exclusive 2016 version. nice leather, not overbearing for normies

who /buyingaventuscreedonblackfriday/ here?

>>13849120
1 RM - but I love PL, 2 aventus is better but only slightly so for 10 times less price you go for cdni no brainer, 3 vui easy, 4 tuscan leather is way better 5, for me it's Herod but u can see someone prefer TV

When you spray your wrist, is that supposed to be right at the joint or further up? Don't wanna wash it off by accident, and I can't tell if mid-forearm still counts as a pulse point or not.

>>13845812
spraying armpits is a terrible idea

>>13849170
Check out New York Intense by Nicolai

Definitely has the same aura

Razorock's Nomad after shave is nice

>>13848625
Try Surrati Tom Oudh first

>>13849120
- Prada L'homme is way better, more rounded and balanced. Reflection man is great, but kinda sharp.

-Aventus, don't really like it but CDNI is really bad.

-DHI, no doubt.

-Tuscan Leather, ADP does not really work on my skin.

-Herod, no specific reason, just like it better.

>>13846759
Montale Sweet Vanilla

>>13848471
Appreciate it

>>13849305
Why?

Opinions on Bentley Absolute?

I can't test it anywhere and would try to blind buy.

>>13849223
We have pointed this out to him many, many times. He never listens.

>>13849343
Indistinguishable from original for 1/100 price

>>13849394
According to whom?

Has anyone used oilperfumery? I keep getting ads for them and they're pretty cheap but I'm wondering if I should spend money on them at all

Anyone like Jeremy Fragrance more after finding out hes a total egomaniac? I mean, I wouldn't want a normal person telling me how to get compliments. His self-obsession helps him seek out what the best performing fragrances air

Jeremy mogs the entire fucking community desu. I love it. I fucking love it. I hope him nothing but the best if I can be so honest. Shit I may even buy his fragrance. Jeremy wins. plain and simple.

*spin moves out*

>>13848723
Where did you get it, Igor?

>>13849662
Most people that like reflection man also like prada l'homme. They have a similar professional/ classy/ clean vibe. I personally get more positive feedback when wearing prada l'homme than I do with reflection man

>>13849715
great comment brother. pure strength and power. heart worldwide.

>>13847479
>>13848456

thank you dearly for those perspectives!<3

>>13847648
im not sure about that. mine smells like the original one you had and ive had mine for 5 years, ive only used it ~20 times because i was never sure about it. i mean, it did smell like it went so well with my natural scent, but generic indeed. eh, i got a big bottle for free, i'll just save it to smell for the rest of my life :p

>>13849223
>>13849367
>t. never tried it and/or inadequate personal hygiene
It helps that I naturally have very little or no body odor. Of course pits are a bad idea if you're the kind of guy who stinks 2 hours after a shower. Use better soap, wash more thoroughly, and apply crystal deodorant liberally. I haven't showered in 15 hours now and there is zero trace of BO in my pits. Just a slight hint of patchouli.

>>13850003
Delisional and in denial.

>>13850003
patchouli stinks on its own. I can't imagine how it smells mixing with your funky ass underarms.

>>13849715
>>13849845

>>13849011
Damn good haul. Is that Tam Dao EDT or EDP? And what are your thoughts on Tuxedo?

>>13849120
1. Reflection
2. Aventus
3. VUI, or alternatively Dior Homme Parfum
4. TF Tuscan Leather or Rasasi La Yuqawam
5. Tobacco Vanille

How much do you guys spend on frags a year? Some of you seem to have ridiculous budgets

>>13850222
what an absolute fucking moggjob. what a fucking unit. hail jeremy fragrance. long live the #fragrancearmy.

>>13850341
I find it hard to wear because I find it hard to think of the right situation to use it.

I've just tried Abercrombie's Woods fragrance and i'm undecided. I like the airy lavender and vetiver but there's something about it that I just don't like.
Granted I'm not a fan of strong musk scents, as I tried their Ellwood frag yesterday and hated it.

>>13850245
It’s the EDP.

Tuxedo is really, really nice. You get this really nice earthy, sweet patchouli, some rose and violet leaf. You get some spice, but it’s not the sort of big, bold spice you get from something like an Amouage, everything is blended in a really smooth, elegant way. Very well balanced, no one element overpowers another. It’s not overly sweet, the florals don’t make it lean too feminine, there’s some noticeable ambergris/ambroxan, but not so much to make it an obnoxious ambroxan bomb like Sauvage or something.

It lasts quite long (I get about 8 hours), and projects like crazy, too. Great performance.

Tuxedo is definitely worth trying. Very under the radar scent, I’d never even heard of it until the girl at De Bijenkorf showed it to me. Glad she did. Of course, the only problem with it is it’s not on any of the discount sites, so if you like it, you’re gonna be paying MSRP.

>>13849715
My favorite part is how I'm pretty sure he doesn't even have a camera man. He just asks people on the street to film him.

That's legit amazing. He is the ronaldo of the fragrance community:

Agreed. His slow descent into madness and his utter narcissism is kind of enjoyable to watch. Will be at least sampling the fragrance.

I legitimately think it will be pretty good. All the basenotes autists/YouTube reviewers will bash it regardless. But Jeremy is way too much of a sociopath to put out something bad with his name on it. Can guarantee most girls will like it.

>>13850674
>>13850683
We can probably predict most of the notes desu

>>13850674
See, the thing about Jeremy is that while he appears to want to be famous, his real desire is for people to love him. This is why he deletes negative comments, this is why he had a meltdown and released all those psychotic vids when the allegations came out. It’s not fame he’s really after, you can be hated and still be famous, it’s the love and adoration. He had a meltdown because he couldn’t handle that people weren’t being nice to him, that people didn’t like him.

And in that, Jeremy is ultimately self-defeating. As he draws more attention to himself and becomes more famous, he also draws more hate. All famous people have haters, comes with the territory. So, in pursuing his goals, he also ultimately destroys them. Success also means failure. There will be a huge meltdown eventually. It’s going to be a thing to behold.

Not hating on the guy at all, it really is a fascinating thing to watch, and I’ll definitely sample his scents at least, for the memes if nothing else. It’s just going to be very interesting to watch Jeremy go Colonel Kurtz.

1 on the collarbone, I've got a really sensitive sense of smell so I cant go overboard

>>13845565
Anyone have some experience with mdci? If its good ill drive to france to buy some make a road trip out of it. The bottle looks nice

>>13850782
Invasion Barbare is good. I’ve tried a few of their other scents, and I liked the, but not enough to cop. They also often have poor longevity.

Keep in mind, the bottles come with and without the busts. Getting a bottle with the bust is like 100.00 more. Same size bottle, you’re paying 100.00 for a resin bust.

>>13850782
I have IB and its great. Its like hdp 1725 but stays dry and spicy into the drydown. I also think the longevity is quite good.

>>13850782
Luca Turin gave invasion 5 stars. Whether it’s aligned with your own taste may vary, but you can guarantee it’s quality

>>13850261
I try to spend less than 800 in a single year.

>>13845678
>>13845857
>>13848625
PSA: Type Tom Ford Oud Wood into google, shopping results will show you 50mL for $157 (sold by fragnet). Checkout with google express and you can use a 20% off promotion. Just copped 50mL for $137 my negus.

>>13850711
Ambroxan and pepper definitely

>>13850663
More like Messi then

>>13850999
Thats what I did too.

don't know what santal 33 smells like but I'm reading all the hype. Zara scent #1 is supposed to be a clone of it. should I just blind buy it since it's under 20 bucks? is santal 33 a good scent? I can't imagine something that supposedly smells like pickles to be so popular.

>>13851121
I smell it on the streets daily in NYC and a lot of its success is marketing. It’s for the internet savvy millennial crowd who think they have elevated taste, but don’t really know about perfume. Definitely has a pickle note that stands out. Also reminds me of pussy for some reason.

>>13851173
that's a fucking shame that a cunt cologne gets hyped just because they mix it in front of you and put your name on the label. it's one of the nastiest fragrances I've ever smelled. I wanted to punch my friend for even recommending it to me after I took a whiff of it. and for 250+ bones? fuck le labo

Need your help /fa/, I want to put one of my frags in my car to freshen up after work and stuff. Thing is I'll be wearing a different one already.

So what's the best one of the following to layer any of the other ones with:

Fahrenheit
TdH
Night d'issey
L'eau d'issey
Spicebomb
CDG man 2
Mercedes club black
Jil Sander sun man
Z&V this is him
Wanted by night

>>13851272
just carry around a small decant. depending on the weather, leaving frags in your car will fuck them up.

>>13849359
I have a bottle smells like those wood shavings you get for pet cages to me

i told my gf that she should pick my parfume for me
was that a smart move? i dont know what her father wears so i cant go for that, she is also the reason i wanted to get into smelle in the first place
t.Spen

>>13851609
Depends on her taste. Actually I got into frags due to my ex-gf who had bought me YSL Homme years ago. And I stopped being a basic Calvin Klein&Old Spice bitch soon afterwards

>>13851635
we both dont know anything
she said she will wear the fragnance that her mom uses, but she couldnt tell me what it was

Need any frags like Prada Infusion iris cèdre? I like wood scents.

>>13845747
This works with strong and weak scents? I don't want to be suffocating people

I really like smoky incense scents for winter and would like something a bit fruity for dressing up for evenings out.
Would Joob and Interlude be good choices to get samples of? Seem they meet this criteria, but I was thinking of trying out 2 Man instead for the incense.

>>13851765
Aventus.

has smoke, leather, and pineapple. order a decant on ebay if you can't afford a bottle. i will tell you of some super smoky aventus batches that I love if you're interested i don't know if theyd be available on ebay though.

>>13845670
Is there a way to sample many with no pressure to buy, like a trade show? Live in dc

>>13851913
I have never seen a fragrance shop with pressure to buy.

Holy shit.

>>13850261
I spend maybe $300. Most of which is on 10ml frag splits. I have scent commitment issues so I like mixing it up a lot.

>>13851735
>I don't want to be suffocating people
Gotta spray big to smell big C'MON!!!

>>13851057
Only if you can work out an Argentine national team analogy.

>>13852060
kek

>>13852046
Really wanna try this out, the note breakdown sounds nice

>>13852125
It's a masterpiece desu.

>>13852128
Could u describe

Initial moments after spraying smell like a piece of dark chocolate which quickly evolves into a dark woody scent with a slight coffeeishness to it.

>>13852136
>>13852184

>>13852184
so basically every other gourmand ever?

>>13851173
What the fuck is this supposed to settle into? I've never smelled it but I never realized how polarizing the scent was. I'm seeing people say it smells like pickles, pussy, hamster cages, etc... what exactly is this supposed to smell like if someone were to catch a whiff walking by? I can't imagine the perfumers wanting the base notes to emit a fucking Vlasic Classic dill spear lmao.

>>13852238
it smells luxurious. ignore those schmucks and order a sample to see for yourself.

>>13852247
Can you go a bit into how it smells luxurious? I'm definitely intrigued now, but what exactly does it reflect on the wearer from a smeller's perspective? Pussy is luxurious tho.

Anonolos,

what's your comfort scent?

This may be cheap tier, but this is a personal favorite. I’ve had many women comment on how much they like it.

>>13852269
Van Cleef & Arpels pour homme.
It's very heavy, dense, smooth and lasts 12 hours.

There was a spider in my bathroom so I sprayed it with Sauvage. It run behind a cabinet and I haven’t seen it in a few days, so either it’s dead or it’s been busy scoring with spider thots around the clock.

>>13852402
BASED

>>13852269

>>13852441
Honestly this fragrance is amazing. I personally never smell it on anyone. And practically everytime i wear it someone mentions how good I smell. Most people don't even ask what fragrance it is. They assume it's just me/how I smell after a shower etc. It's amazing.

I blind bought this, will I regret it?

>>13852572
lmao report back

>>13852572
I too have an interest in knowing what sponge Bob smells like.

Are you waiting for Black Friday anons? What online shops give the best deals?

Rec me a cologne that smells like Old Spice

>>13852402
good job, now it will smell like everyone else

I can't stop spraying my hair with this, its got just the right balance of the original formula to suit my taste and not feel too heady. I have to take a few days break because I am getting too used to it and don't want to accidentally reek. Please tell me other people think this smells great on younger people.

>>13853100
AdP Colonia

/Frag/ I need your help IDing a fragrance. It is a slightly yellow coloured frag and I believe it was something from ysl, but the ones I smelled in store where all different. It smells like daisies to me and lasts pretty much all day so it could be a female frag. It isn't opium since that smells too much like spices. Could it be the eau de parfum version of la nuit or pour homme haute concentration? They don't have that in stores so I can't test it myself but notino has it.

>>13851913
Just ask and say you are not sure yet you usually get a small amount to take with you

>>13852436

>>13853156
L'homme?

>>13853164
>>13853156
Or l'homme intense?

I can pick up a 100ml bottle of Bentley For Men Intense for £25. Worth it?

>>13853161
10/10

>>13852572
I bought a bottle and have been drowning in pussy. you won't regret it.

>>13853166
>>13853164
Just tried them unfortunately they aren't the fragrance I am looking for. I think it probably is pour homme scince that is the only other yellow one I could find but thanks for the help anon

Like the absolute beta I am, I was browsing the "perfumes women love on men" thread on Fragrantica last night and noticed a lot of them love Le Male.
Do I buy into the meme, or get something like Code Profumo instead?

>>13853236
Le Male is good if you're messaging us from the past (2005 ish)

>>13853236
stop being a retard you get what you actually like

>>13853225
Good luck finding it anyway

>>13852572
wrong choice man, the gary EDT was better
https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/SpongeBob-Squarepants/Gary-28291.html

>>13847582
W2c in USA besides eBay?

Coffee/Chocolate Fragrance for Winter

How to get into Montale? There is so fucking many of them. I'd like to order some samples but idk with which to start. Is Black Aoud any good?

>>13853610
Same , and what about Jo Malone? Anything good of theirs to check out?

>>13853107
BONJOUR
Try any Chanel Chance hair mists

>>13852060
What frag would/did he use (if he was still with us rest his soul) ?

>>13853669
YVES SAINT LAURENT BODY KOUROI
4 BOTTLES COME ON

Any fragrances similar to Gucci Guilty Absolute (leather, wood, smoky) with better performance / projection?

>>13853799
YIKES

Should I get this or Burberry's London? I smelled the Burberry and I reaaaaally liked it, I sadly can't get a sample of Daarej so I'd have to blind buy it, I've heard a lot of good things about it, do some anons here have personal experience with both?

>>13853799
I HATED this when I first smelled it but it develops nicely on my skin. kinda linear tho.

>>13853813

What am I missing?

>>13853895

I didn't like it on test strips but love it on my skin, also thoroughly.

Most scents I've tried were ok or rather nice the first few minutes and develop into something I don't like. I actually value its linearity, I love it from beginning to end

>>13853854


Burberry sadly doesn't perform at all. I liked the smell but its performance was almost non-existent

Tips on moisturizing skin? I use a regular nivea cream, what do you guys recommend?

>>13853854
Everyone fawns over the scent of london but the opening is the only good part and is over quickly. The drydown is one of the worst scents I've ever smelled, sour dirt and old shitty weeds. Wtf am i missing?

eu notino black friday deals are absolute shit

>>13854126
For us eu fags I think it's still cheaper to buy from the US fragnet site, shipping and taxes notwithstanding

>>13854172
possibly, although customs+vat can be a bitch! esp if you order above a certain threshold

i wouldn't mind getting a few bottles at a good price from notino (eu) and have done so in the past, but there's literally nothing -.- oh well

>>13854215
Do you know if you can order from a notino other than your country's, within Europe?

does it make sense to buy perfume from amazon?

>>13854278
support your local retail store, only buy online if there is no other option

testing

>>13853656
merci, mon ami

>>13853799
Try montale or mancera

>>13854086
It's like fa's first mature fragrance catered to different adults.

>>13853100
Boucheron Jaipur edt

Anyone buying anything of CVS with the by one get one free deal? Thinking about getting pure malt and then spicebomb for free

>>13853610
I adore Montale Intense Cafe. Roses and coffee with phenomenal longevity. It's a very unusual fragrance.

>>13853854
I have not worn London, but I do own Daarej. It's spicy, with an absolutely screaming start. $45 USD for 100ml can't go wrong. It's my favorite scent to wear when I'm baked. Wish I could just send you the remaining sample I have. I purchased the full thing before my I went through my 10ml.

>>13854684
I'm actually wearing it now. Nice evening fragrance that's versatile enough for a date night.

>>13853641
I really like Tonka and Myrrh

>>13854684
>Roses and coffee
not gonna lie this would probably get me to sleep with you

>>13845565
Where does Gucci Guilty cologne fall into the categories??

>>13854567


Which ones do you mean?

I don't ever see you guys talking about women's fragrances here. What are some ladies scents that make your wieners hard?

>>13855309
Yellow Diamond is nice. Maybe not wiener hardening.
I have a hard time distinguishing between a nice designer perfume and a B&BW spray that comes in a pint bottle. It's all kinda dainty and blurs together. Doesn't mean I don't like it, I'm just a little apprehensive to ask in fear of the answer.

>>13855309
mugler alien

>>13855309
People hate it though.

Scents that attract animals? I've used Aventus once at a friend's place and their dog jumped onto my lap and stayed there for quite a while. I've never had that reaction from a pet before. I've also recently read somewhere (can't remember) that some dude hated Sauvage but his cat loved it. Anyone else have similar experiences with pets?

>>13855309
Chanel Allure
Chanel Chance
Guerlain la petite robe noire
Yves Saint Laurent black opium
Dolce and Gabbana light blue
Mugler Alien
Mugler Angel
Mugler Aura

>>13855309
I love a nice rough patchouli oil dabbed behind her ears. seriously. patchouli smells like sex on the right woman and it drives me nuts.

For all the NEETS here, why don't you work at a fragrance shop? Sephora, Macy's, Nordstrom, etc... you faggots obsess over frags and probably know more about them than the old ladies who work there.

No. 5 is an amazing scent as well, but it suffers from being a bajillion years old and always popular so it associates too much like an old female relative for most men.

>>13855415
I've never been to a cosmetic boutique that wasn't staffed by mostly by younger thots. Especially Sephora. They also are surprisingly in the know and seem to like their job.

The only place I can see a male SA doing well by virtue of fragrance autism is Nordstrom, Neimans, or an indie men's boutique and they would have to look and behave impeccably.

>>13855415
Ladies are trained by the retailers themselves or the cosmetics/skincare/fragrance companies. And most of them like doing their jobs and do it as a hobby as well

>>13855460
>do it as a hobby as well
I don't have to work conventionally and have been really tempted to work as a Chanel SA just as a hobby and to stay in the loop.

>>13854086
I actually liked the drydown of London, didn't bother me at all

>>13854688
Is Daarej comfy though? I find London to be ultracomfy even so that it makes me want to wear a horrible christmas sweater and be nice to others

Dsquared potion vs 1 million prive vs ferrogamo uomo. Wich one for winter?

>>13855995
1 million Prive. it's actually one of the best releases in years imo. it's spicy, warm and delicious.

>>13855961
I'm going to say no, it isn't comfy. It's starts loud and is pretty linear. It may be warm, but it makes a statement. You may interpret it as comfy, though Hard to say.
For reference, fragrances I find comfy are Tom Ford for Men, Mandarina Duck Pure Black, and Mont Blanc Legend.

Wearing Rasasi Egra today. Just been approached by a NPC wearing Creed GIT who asked me what smells so good. Should I tell him?

Tell him your wearing KING aventus (2013 third french batch)

What's are some perfumes with a dominant smell of oakmoss frag ?


thanks

>>13855356
I love Arabie. Have a bottle for myself (I’m a dude). Good shit.

>>13856354
He's standing there right now, waiting for a response from you while you post here? Pffffffff

Good Arabian oils?

>>13856438
Yes, still waiting. We're looking at each other, counting time in whiffs of my glorious Rasasi Egra

>>13856540
Arabian Oils anon here. I got shitted on this thread but I'd suggest you looking into following Surratis for starters:
Tom Oudh (TFOW perfect clone)
Black Oudh (Montale clone)
Tom's Leather (TFTL clone)
Kreed (GIT clone which is better than original)

>>13856580
>I got shitted on this thread
Could it be because you are shilling poverty bazaar fragrances to people?

>>13856592
Blind test them with originals. I didn't want to distract anyone from spending hundreds of dollars here just wanted to point out some alternatives.

>>13855389
one time I was sampling Hinoki and my cat licked my arm where is was sprayed for a good minute.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znbIkKXM2p8

Is Joob, Interlude and Reflection a good beginner sample set to Amouage?
Two for dressing up/casual and one for work sounds like a good compromise to me.

>>13856580
Which surroti is the fahrenheit dupe some other anon mentioned?

>>13853669
Eros no doubt about it

I used the fragrance Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce for a while and like it. Everyone uses it though. Any similar but lesser known fragrances?

is eros still the recommended vanilla scent for men or was i mislead last time i was here

>>13857008
Le Male

>>13845559
>>13857026
New thread

girl im dating told me the perfume of her father, its LOEWE Solo Origami
i tried it on and she said its nice, should i cop?

>>13856939
It's literally called Fahrenheit

>>13855415
I already have a full time govt job with decent pay and great benefits but I am strongly considering working part time at a fragrance sales type job. I’ve already made friends with three different girls that work at three different places and being a fem twink myself, I love places like Sephora where all the workers are girls or twinks

>>13857238
It's dull, trust me

>>13853100
Old Spice

>>13856580
What about original scents rather than clones?
