Commes Des Garcons Black

Did I like it?

Amsterdamfag here. A couple people requested a pic of my collection when I got home a few threads back.

Delivering.

>>13856580
Don't worry, anon, I personally really appreciate your feedback on the arabian oils. I can be called a poorfag, though, and I can see why people would shit on replicas, but for me at least it is still welcome.

>>13857071
It was me. Really nice collection you got, anon. Thank you for delivering.

>>13857071
Impressive collection! Most bottles look like they have never been used, what ones do you usually wear?

>>13857076
I agree, oilfag. You’re giving us information on fragrances you tried. That’s literally what these threads are for. Don’t listen to the faggots calling you a shill. If you mention anything more than one or two times across multiple threads, some autist will accuse you of being a shill sooner or later.

Keep ‘em coming!

Copying and expanding the list from last thread, before 100 anons will ask the same question. I also removed scents for more than $75/100ml and added a few new things. Suggestions welcomed before making a picture out of it.

Cheapy scents for Fall/Winter ordered by prices for 1ml on fragrance.net (if available):

>Aramis Havana ($0.20)
>Lalique Encre Noire ($0.26)
>Bentley for Men Intense ($0.27)
>Hanae Mori Him ($0.29)
>Lalique Encre Noire A L'Extreme ($0.34)

>Bvlgari Man In Black ($0.57)
>L'Occitane Eau Des Baux ($0.59)

>>13857079
Sure thing.

>>13857082
They’ve all been used, they’re lying on their side, so it looks like most of them are full. There are a bunch that are like 75%+ full, but everything gets worn from time to time.

I basically wear everything. I just open my cupboard every morning and grab whatever I’m feeling in the mood for. Sometimes I wind up wearing the same thing for like a week, sometimes it’s something different every day.

When I travel, I generally bring Creed MI, though. The bottle in that pic is new, I just opened it before this past trip. I’ve had 2 bottles before that one. I bring that one when I travel because it’s safe, people seem to like it a lot on me, and it still smells sophisticated and expensive enough that I don’t smell cheap.

>>13857076
>>13857083
Thanks guys. I'm about to order a new batch after Christmas and experiment with perfumers alcohol and making EdP/EdT out of them myself. Sillage of some of these oils is great, but there's some room for improvement here with others. In particular all of them have ridiculous longevity (and I mean by this surviving 12h + shower), so trading some it for sillage by adding alcohol would be a very good deal. Will keep you updated.

>>13857102
Cool, I’d be interested to hear how it goes. I’m definitely interested in experimenting with making EdT/EdP out of oils, myself. For sure let us know how it turns out.

>>13857097
How much money do you make per year? Such set would be my goal in future.

>>13857071
Please tell me your thoughts on Rasasi Zebra.Is it a good office scent?

How is Rochas man for a night out coffee scent? For something affordable, is it a decent scent? Or would it be a better idea to get a decant of Cafe Rose or something similar??

>>13857071
>tragedy of lord george


thoughts?

>>13857125
It varies. I’m an owner in a property management company. I get a decent salary, about 90k, but I also get dividends, and I have a separate investment portfolio. I’d say most years I’m making at least 200k, often much more.

>>13857130
It’s not bad. I mostly bought it because it was door crasher on FragranceBuy and I got it for like 15.00. I was ordering something else and figured fuck it, why not?

It’s kind of like Aventus, but no pineapple and more citrus. Has this candy-sweet orange/lemon note in the opening. Smells nice enough once it dries, though there are certainly better Aventus clones out there. It’s nice, I wear it sometimes, but it’s nothing super special.

The bottle’s fuzzy, though, so that’s nice.

>>13857149
Interesting stuff. It’s kind of linear, the opening has a fair bit of tonka and brandy, then that stuff kind of falls off and it’s mostly amber and sandalwood. Nice enough, I wear it from time to time, but I don’t absolutely love it. The bottle’s cool as hell, though, (the stag head is metal, not plastic) so I’m happy with it.

>>13857154
You made me even more indecisive with that comment kek. So is it worth blind buying as an office scent?

>>13857170
I’d say the opening might be a bit sweet for an office, but once it dries a bit it should be ok. Just make sure you spray at least half an hour or do before you get to work and I think you’d be fine. I can’t see it bothering anyone.

It sucks that I love Ombre/Tuscan Leather and Noir de Noir but I just can’t justify a full bottle. Where in the world would you wear it?

Anyway, what’s the feeling on Creed fragrances? I know Aventus gets talked to death, but do you think they’re worth the price?

>>13857248
Are they worth MSRP? Probably not. Are they worth discount site prices? Some certainly are. Royal Oud is a masterpiece.

>>13857026
Is aqua di gio a meme?

>>13857248
They're not justifable. I've seen perfect Arabian clones made of nonsynthetics for bargain. You can also look up past prices of them. They've gone up hundred of % due to demand.

>>13857252
>>13857272
Thanks.

Are there any fragrances comparable with Royal Oud? Just to get an idea what it smells like. Whenever I see Oud I always think of Oud Wood.

>>13857279
Royal Oud is really not an Oud scent. It’s more sandalwood and cedar with spice and a bit of citrus. There’s some Oud, but it’s quite subtle. The opening is a bit old fashioned, but the drydown is amazing.

Not really anything else I can think of that’s comparable.

>>13857324
Cheers. It’s surprising how a fragrance can smell “old fashioned” despite the fact I probably wasn’t alive when it was popular. ADP Colonia smells like I imagine the 1950s used to smell.

>>13857026
The fuck is that black shimmery thing?

>>13857071
Holy shmoly. Nice haul.

What's the perfect fragrance for me?

Are you me? That is pretty much my life post divorce.
I like TF Oud Wood myself.

>>13857610
Everyone at stores say they see me as a 'powdery' scent, don't know if that means I come off as gay or not

Need some advice. I'm trying to buy a new cologne for my SO's younger brother who's still in highschool but is interested in cologne. He's only ever worn pic related. Any recs on something versatile and unique that won't seem out of place?

>guy in his 30s

I wear Tom Ford Noir for more formal occasions, any suggestions?

Suggestions for Arabian Oils that aren't clones?

>>13857647
Mandarina Duck Pure Black.

>>13857646
Buy the young one Curve Liz Claiborne and he'll be drowning in fresh pussy

>>13857647
Cool Water/Fahrenheit if you want basic stuff

>>13857684
Thanks - looks interesting

>>13857719
Green Irish Tweed was on the shortlist, so you're in the right ballpark with Cool Water. However, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to this sort of thing.

is it beast mode? I need a known beast so I can figure out if I'm just a noselet or if my collection is just lacking

>>13857536
I didn’t buy it just for the bottle. I sampled it and liked it at the time. Just wasn’t as good as I remembered it being from my sample. Also got it pretty cheap on FragranceBuy.

Plus, I’m a degenerate hooker fucker, you really think I want kids?

>>13857050
Have a decant on the way of this!

>>13857739
Sounds like you're on the right track, then.

>>13857673
That's quite an esoteric topic to be fair. There's a thread dedicated to Arabian Oils on fragrantica forum, but it's dominated by middle-aged housewives. You'll also find some single threads about Swiss Arabian/Surrati dupes on basenotes. But that's pretty much everything I've found after hours of researching them. That's how the semi-official retailer website which accessible to westerners looks like
http://www.rehaat.com/perfumes/
Judging from it I wouldn't expect much info on this topic. However, I bet there is more info on Arabian site of the web which is unaccessible to us.

Was anyone here ever obsessed with Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs on one point? Before they went full social justice shill, I was really into ordering their perfume oils as a teen. I found their combinations, titles, and descriptive really evocative and it was my first foray into fragrance. The label art was cool as well.

I still have an LE of Rose Red which to this day is my favorite pure "rose" note with the green stem included.

>>13857814
How do you use them?

>>13857844
Just dab them on the usual places. Doesn't have as much throw as normal perfume but I kind of liked that about them at the time. Could also just use easily for other things like homemade skin and hair care or diffusers. I think I heard about some people mixing it with alcohol themselves.

>>13857814
I have a few of their oils. Used to date a nerdy girl and she found them and ordered a bunch of their shit because they had D&D themed scents and shit. I wound up getting a few myself, they actually do have some reasonably interesting scents. It’s just too bad about the cringey social justicey shit.

I’m not an autistic /pol/fag or anything, but it does make it tough for me to want to buy your shit if you politicize everything. Just shut the fuck up and sell me some nice smelly shit.

>>13857857
>Used to date a nerdy girl and she found them
I have no idea how I found them but the nerd appeal was real. I think when you are really young you just hate the strong heady alcohol cloud surrounding perfume culture so something more gentle and pure is really appealing. A lot of the times it was just about buying a bunch of sample "imps" and smelling them with friends. The were doing their own extractions and hand-blending in America long before that was a thing.

Yeah I was willing to forgive some liberal leanings, but I had to draw the line when they made "Nasty Woman" for fucking Hillary Clinton. Even if you hate trump and are a liberal, making a perfume for a literal fucking murderer is just horrible business.

>>13857811
>tfw no arabian waifu to discover arabian oils with

Does /frag/ layer their frags? What is your favorite combo?

Mine is Terre d'Hermes + Creed GIT

>>13857889
the one thing I will concede to muslim women, is that since they can't focus on dressing like thots they develop pretty patrician taste when it comes to other luxury goods.

Jo Malone Myrrh and Tonka....is good

If you could wipe one note off the face of the earth, what would it be? For me its patchouli, it never doesn't smell like a hippy's taint, and completely ruins otherwise great blends.

Is Creed Himalaya worth £146 for 100ml? Is it a good smell?

Someone has tried Orientica's Leather Oudh?

>>13857855
Thanks that's neat.

>>13857893
I mix pure patchouli oil with Cerave healing ointment and rub that into my neck and then spray Dark Rebel Rider over that. best layering combo I've ever used.

>>13857877

>>13857918
You're not thinking this through enough, the answer is clearly Peony

>>13857918
Fig. The only note that literally nauseates me. The only fucking one.

>>13857918
Haha you've never worn a scent with civet or a real angry musk have you

>>13857955
>unironically liking civet
that shit is a holdover from days when literally everyone reeked of B.O. and rotten crotch

>>13857964
this. I don't believe ANYBODY when they say they like civet or castoreum. there's no fucking way.

>>13857623
Powdery means it smells a bit dry(?) or behaves like how talcum would attack/enter your nose (not the smell).

My personal favourite in that category is Iris Bleu Gris. Try a sample. As long you dress clean or sharp it would probably fit you.

>>13857918
Oud.

That shit stank yo.

>>13857966
Only French sluts and literal prostitutes wore perfume with heavy musk before 1920 when No 5 launched (which really is super light-handed with the musk). Respectable women only wore single-note florals.

Therefor we can conclude that civet existed solely to entice men with smell of rotten coochie to improve business.

>>13857898
Muslim women are forbidden from wearing perfume outside their homes either way.

>>13857966
lmao

>>13857966
I know right, I mean, like, how can someone like something that I dont like?

>>13858052
>yeah how dare you not like the scent of ass on your neck like I do wow how fucking intolerant omg taste is subjective hurr durr

>>13858083
>in this episode of a 4chan poster confuses what the difference between objective and subjective is in regards to taste...
Quality post.

>>13858091
If someone rubs their ass on your neck, and you think thats an acceptable smell is it really a matter of subjectivity?

>>13858102
I ate a girl’s ass once, and lemme tell you, that shit smelled like heaven!

>>13857968
No, Powdery refers to that powder make up smell typical in womens fragrances. Its like a hefty make up powder scent.

>>13858113
>I LOVE THE TASTE OF SHIT IN MY MOUTH

Sorry you only bang gross thots who don’t know how to shower, m8.

Any rate, we’ve had a nice few threads with no spergs fucking things up, so we understand you don’t like civet. That’s cool. It’s enough now. Kindly change the subject or fuck off outta my /frag/.

Both of you shut the fuck up. Post frags or leave. We don’t tolerate spergs derailing our threads here.

Wore Cedrat Boise today and a female coworker followed me around for hours commenting on how much she liked it and how it made her "want to rub her face on my shoulder like a cat".
That is all.

>>13857026
Zoologist T Rex opens smelling like the remains of a meteoric apocalypse then calms down to smoked meats, beef jerky, and gunpowder then becomes a resinous charcoal with a meaty leathery snake scent. Overtly masculine and I got complements on it despite me not liking it initially it turned around. Its definitely not for femboys. It screams Alpha Chad which I guess makes sense since T Rexs were the Chad Dinosaur.

>>13858192
lmao stop being such a cocksucking faggot and post /frag/

>>13858151
M8, it isn’t about what I like. These threads work better when we don’t have autistic shitheads shitting up the place. The last couple threads were good because we didn’t have any spergs. This thread was good up until you guys started up with your pissing contest. Do we really need yet another thread to devolve into faggots accusing each other of being redditors? It doesn’t fucking matter who’s right. You’re arguing on the internet. Even if you win, you’re still retarded.

Just stop and let us have a good thread please.

>>13857646
>>13857716
Seconded

I wore Curve when I was younger just because a girl I was with said it was her favorite scent

This frag is so fucking good. I'm going to wear it around my nephew when he gets older just so I can cement my place in history as the Fahrenheit wearing uncle.

Anyone have a good clone for this? I just don't think it's worth $90+

>>13858370
I've never smelled a good Prada clone. they end up roughing up the lavender. Prada's composition is impeccable. they blend so well.

smells like a more refined Lalique White

>>13857647
Dior Homme Cologne, Kenzo Homme EdP, Bvlgari Aqua homme

>>13857772
Awesome! Let me know if I liked it.

>>13857647
Look no further than eros by Versace. It's an awesome scent that wears perfectly in a close quarters environment like an office setting. Not overpowering. Just don't buy fragrances from amazon.

>>13857086
>L'Occitane Eau Des Baux
Just got mine in the mail a few days ago and I've been wearing it since, I fucking love this stuff and it lasts like 10-12 hours even when I spray conservatively. Only wish the projection was a bit better, but it makes for a great daily driver at work for the fall.

Here are scents I have laying about, share your opinions if you're familiar.
>Calvin Klein Euphoria *tips*
>Calvin Klein Truth
>Bvlgari Man Extreme (a male coworker said I smelled like a sexy girl while wearing this and at first assumed it was from this hot milf we work with. Not sure how I feel about that.)
>Gucci Guilty Black
>Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb
>CDG Black
>Norne by Slumberhouse (I am afraid to try it)
Idk if I'm too conservative with my frags (i dab/spray a small amount on both wrists and neck) or if I have bad taste, nobody compliments anymore. Very sad.

>>13857769
Never to late to change your ways and i sincerely mean that

>>13858833
You can take the jungle out of the Eurangutang.

As a gril, why is it I almost never smell fragrance on any man in America except deodorants? I have lived pretty much everywhere but the NE and I can't even remember coming across a guy other than my grandpa and I have a pretty sensitive nose and a man wearing a nice or awful cologne would certainly stick out. Granted I never go clubbing or to parties.

I did smell a few guys in France who were certainly wearing, though.

>>13858854
cologne isn't a common as you'd think. most people really don't care how they smell, and if they do have a bit of interest, they usually go for a body spray. most can't justify dropping 100+ bones on a quality juice. there's other shit to spend their money on. like another pair of shoes or jacket.

>>13858763
I'm glad you like it! Did you order this because of /frag/?

>>13858902
yeah I've been lurking for a few months now and autistically researching stuff to no end, it's my 2nd frag so far and I'd say it's $36 well spent.

>>13858854
>tfw this is probably how people perceive your carefully picked and niche scents. NO ONE NOTICES THEM UNLESS YOU'LL GET INTIMATE WITH SOMEONE BUT WE NEVER WILL

>>13858905
Where did you get it that cheap? Your mean 100ml bottle?

>>13858911
Yeah 100mL, found it cheap on ebay and took the gamble. satisfied with the results

>>13858910
You aren't wearing enough then, men almost always smell like either nothing at all, or a shitty body spray. Its not something a woman would not notice within arms length.

>>13858910
>tfw ordered DHI and no one will be able to smell it on me but my Mama AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Is this still relevant? Also what happened to shilling Millesime Imperial?

>>13858940

Why would I ever want to fuck all that up with heroin or anything stupid like that? I really don’t think you understand what kind of person I am.

I’ve got to go with cumin. I have a few scents I like that have cumin in them, but only because you can’t smell it at all. Any scent where you can smell the cumin is just awful to me. I sampled Amouage Fate a while back and it made me sick. Had to go scrub that shit off. Roja also tends to combine cumin and animalic notes a lot and I can’t stand any of his scents where he does that. Just smells like a sweaty Indian man’s armpit to me.

They're very different. Intense is rich, boozy, leathery goodness. Absolute is almost the same as GPH1.

I considered that but my local places only give those samples if you buy a bottle of another.

>>13857248
And Sephora carries Ombre, so you can get a sample there.

Intense smelled disgusting to me. Probatthe bay leaf

By the Fireplace and Jazz Club are good examples of why you should never blind buy.

BTF is a rare instance of loving the opening but hating the drydown. Jazz Club is much nicer, but I can’t justify a 100ml bottle.

Is Burberry London worth a blind buy since its so cheap?

Am I weird for liking Gucci Guilty Absolute?
My girlfriend loves it on me, too.

Most fragrances are too sweet or have notes I don't like. But this is spectacular.

>>13859593
I absolutely LOVE the smoky drydown of BTF. Was a blindbuy and I do not regret.

>>13859799
it's boring. not bad, but boring. it doesn't really develop into anything 5+ hours in. it's just straight up brown leather and vetiver. i see that people either hate it or love it. i'm neutral on it but wouldn't wear it because it's absolutely boring.

>>13859804


I actually like that..

Every single scent I've tested either begins or develops into something I don't like.

Either the beginning is horrible and gets a bit better later or I like the beginning and develops into something I don't like (most often sweetness)

This one I enjoy thoroughly

>>13859761
it's cheap because it literally lasts 30 mins

>>13859812
I always hear this but it lasts a good 5 hours for me before going skin. even then there's a nice scent bubble. just moisturize then spray over. it really does work.

>>13859568
But it smells like piss

>>13859835
Moose piss on themselves repeatedly to build a scent during mating season.

Don’t be scared anon

>>13859800
See, I don’t get any smokiness at all after the opening. It opens like burning wood and it’s heavenly, but it just turns to cloyingly sweet marshmallows.

>>13859958
It's the complete opposite for me. I get the annoying sweetness up front and the drydown is all smoke and a touch of incense. I've also noticed the smokiness varies on certain days. Some days it's mild, other days it smells almost like a tree on fire.

>>13859865
Did I ever tell ya about when Harvey Weinstein told me to make sure I shook his hand at a charity event, so I stopped in the mens room and pissed all over my hand, then went straight up to him on the receiving line? I think about that every time lil donnie opens up his KFC.

is this stuff any good? bottle seems sexy as fuck

Opinions?

>>13859979
I envy you. If I could find a fragrance that offered that smokiness all the time I’d be so happy.

If I bury my nose in to it I can smell the chestnut and a bit of cloves, but that sweetness dominates.

Shiiiiit. Perfume Shop are doing 200ml of Eros for £45. It’s an ok fragrance, but for that price I’m so tempted...

I have little to no idea about fragrances, but while overseas recently I tried on some CDG Concrete and really liked it. I don't have the money to throw at a full 80 ml bottle, so I might try one of these decant websites. Approximately how many sprays would I get per mL? I was looking at either 3 or 5 mL spray bottles.

>>13860346
What autism brings people to assume all niche smells like ass. Most everything doesn’t smell all that different from your designer stuff.

Your favorite masculine fragrances?

Bonus points if they aren't sweet

>>13860773
Rasasi Daarej if I'm feeling whimsical, Tom Ford for Men if I'm out proper, and Creed Original Santal to split the difference.

Am I crazy, or are sample bottles insanely diluted with extra alcohol? So many times I thought a fragrance was shit because all I could smell was DRY DRY and more DRY from sampler. It doesn't help that I hate the smell and taste of ethanol and and sensitive to it.

How the fuck am I supposed to get an authentic tester without opening a new bottle?

>>13858146
I like it, and I want to love it, but I find CB little disjointed. Like it has these different elements that are pulling you in opposite directions. Like it has the fruits, citrus, and currant notes going one way and then the woods, leather, and vanilla going in a very different and unharmonious way. That, and also I find the fruits to be a little too "jammy" or thickly sweet sometimes. Otherwise I think ~$100 for a 4oz bottle of this frag, which projects and lasts, is a really good deal. What you you think of it personally?

>>13858370
I don't know of a cheaper clone, but Dior Homme Eau is very similar and some say it does what the Prada does but better. May be worth checking out if you like Prada L'Homme but for some reason it doesn't warrant a buy for you.

>>13860872
You're crazy. I have dozens of tester / sample / demonstration bottles and they're identical to retail. Why would a perfumer put diluted fragrance out for testing purposes? To get people to not buy their watered down product? If anything, the paranoid neurotic in you should suspect that the testers are stronger than the actual retail juice.

>>13860872
Testers are absolutely not diluted. Why would they be? They’re what stores use to try to get you to buy something. You wouldn’t give out free samples at a restaurant that taste like watered-down shit, because no one would come in and eat.

Testers are exactly the same as any other bottle. Maybe you got a fake bottle, maybe you got a tester that was really old and stored improperly, I don’t know, but the notion that testers are watered down is just plain false.

Well I guess I am paranoid then. Maybe its to do with the air in the store, or the lingering scents but it never smells good in the store for some reason.

>>13858854
even in my backwoods area I still come across a male wearing something every now and then. maybe you just are repulsed and don't get close enough to the non chads wearing frags

>>13860012
It's good, pretty similar to other cheap woody-spicy fragrances like Burberry London and Hanae Mori HiM. Has solid performance and a nice smoky drydown so pretty good, nothing unique or amazing though. Might be worth adding to the affordable fall/winter fragrances list.

>>13860872
You shouldn't heed to every person who loves their weird fragrances, but on internet nearly every fragrance community has been infected by ivory tower snobbism so they will praise a funky weird mushroom smell as some artsy godsend.

As a rule a person who like smells of D&G the one, Chanel BdC and Creed Aventus has the objectively correct opinion. If a person obsessively HATES them with a passion that's an autism red flag and you should ignore every fragrance recommendation from that person.

>>13861003
I'm fine with you implying my aventus bottle is cheap but so what do you buy?

Never really see talk about Tauer in these generals. I ordered some samples of his Tauerville fragrances; I liked Vanilla Flash quite a bit, but none of the others I tried really caught my attention. I then ordered a sample of his flagship line (LdDM, ACdDM, Lonesome Rider, Lonestar Memories, and PHI URdK). From what I've one wearing, LdDM is my favorite of the bunch, i find Au Coeur too sweet for me. I was also surprised because a lot of people (e.g. Fragrancebros) complain that it's too potent and dry a fragrance, but I really enjoyed it. Lonesome rider is also very nice too, if a bit idiosyncratic in its take on leather, which I wouldn't say is a bad thing. Tauer is having a sale on a few fragrances at $99, so I might snag L'air.
>Do any of you wear Tauer perfumes?
>Do any of you even LIKE his fragrances?

Despite obviously being gayer than Tom of Finland, he seems very down to earth and respectable, and I like that he does everything himself.

Giorgio Beverly Hills for men. Patchouli bomb with a touch of honey. The opening is fucking intense, but the drydown is one of the greatest I've ever smelled. THE perfect powerhouse fragrance.

roughly 10 sprays per ml. sometimes 12 depending on the atomizer. the ones at sephora are 2ml filled to the top and I get easily a week's worth of wearing using only 3 sprays. their atomizers are pretty good too. nice wide and fine mist.

Favorite bedtime scents? Whereas, Eternity is as normie as you can get this edition is my guilty pleasure. Sage and lavender mix makes me calm and think of freshly dried bedsheets at my Grandma's countryside.

>>13860750
Which is even more pathetic, seeing as nichefags pride themselves on dropping top dollar for "daring and different" fragrances that designer wouldn't touch, when in the end it's the same dog shit in a different bottle. sad lmao.

what does /fa/ think a vampire would wear?

I like One Million, am I a pleb?

>>13861834

Probably Tom Ford Noir. But that would be a Dracula type vampire, not the faggot kind which you most likely are.

>>13858370
The reason people use Prada is high quality blend and ingredients. The smell is not as unique but it is executed pretty well. There's no point to go for "clones"

>>13859835
I suppose there's a hint of urinal cakes in the opening, but that doesn't stop it from smelling really nice.

It's a polarizing scent though, but so far every critic has been a generic dude wearing a generic fragrance and generic clothes. Aside from the hate it also got me compliments unlike any other frag. Just two weeks ago someone literally moved her chair closer to me because she loved it so much.

So fuck the haters. I'd rather smell amazing and have a small portion of people think I pissed my pants.

>>13861981

Yeah I love it too. But I feel like it's a warm weather scent. What's your take?

Any suggestions for woody/smoky scents with good performance?

Would be neat if I can test it in a store

How would you describe LdDM?
I smelled it just from the atomizer and it didn’t interest me, but I should have tried it on my skin

>>13862297
Might seem that way reading it maybe, bit no it's not heavy at all to me, it's just blended perfectly and it's so smooth and lovely. Heartily recommend trying it if you can.

>>13862307
I think most of people here are missing this step and jump straight into niche after their first three non-OldSpice scents. You're probably a student judging from your selection, so beware I don't mean buying 100ml of all of above but rather to test them for plenty of times, maybe buy one or two just to have any means of comparison later on your frag journey.

>>13862310
I'll give it a try

When I first got into fragrances, I bought up everything I could get my nose on. Even shit I didn't particularly like I bought cause I figured it was different from other things in my collection. It got to a point where I was close to 100 bottles deep and I made the decision to just sell off or give a lot of them away. it'd take me 5 lifetimes over to use everything I had, especially since I tend to underspray because my nose gets irritated if I went over 4 sprays on pretty much anything. Only time in my life that I got obsessed with anything and irrationally bought with no hesitation.

I have both and love both. SWY is like a sweeter, less smoky version of By The Fireplace but you can definitely pick up the nutty hazelnut in the drydown. Prive has become one of my absolute favorite autumn frags. It's sweet, cinnamon apple with incense. There's nothing really that stands out about it, but it's just so delicious smelling. Get both. Both perfect for winter.

>>13862557
Really? AW smells almost exactly like Invictus to me. Almost exact copy with a bit of lemon in the opening.

>>13862212
Opinions on Giorgio men? It's dirty cheap, has a reasonable rating on fragrantica and quite interesting notes (patchoulli + honey + vetiver). I'd consider adding it to my collection, since I don't have anything similar to it. However, from reviews it seems to be some /boomer/-core.

Thanks for the tip. I am a student and I found that from all the cheap frags that I tested so far these are the ones that I liked the most, Encre Noir being on top. I have smelled most of the fragrances that you mentioned and I really liked Terre d'Hermes as a summer fragrance (ik it's been discussed here since forever) and Spicebomb since I've smelled it on our mayor. It's not that I don't like the fragrances that you mentioned, but I don't know what clothes to wear with them, I feel they're too sophisticated for me; I've smelled most of the frags in your list on +30 y/o men...

>>13862831
Hipster shit

Just bought my first fragrance. Did I fuck up?

I wanted something inoffensive to wear in a professional setting and I think bleu noir is just the right fit. It's also fitting for fall/winter and I'm starting to love the combination of cardamom and vetiver. To me, it is similar to Terre d'Hermes in the drydown, but TdH gives me a headache around hour 3-4, because the orange smell is so strong and I don't really like edible smells.
