/fa/ - Fashion

I'm getting my fragrance collection started. I have already picked up Narciso Rodrigues: bleu noir as a daily driver that is inoffensive and can be used in a professional setting.

Now I want something that is appropriate for going out in the wintertime: Romantic dates, visiting christmas market with friends, going to concerts (classical music) that kind of stuff.

I'm looking at Dior Homme Intense and Chanel Antaeus. I can get both for almost exactly the same price, I have tried and liked both. Which one should I get in your opinion?

>>13891280

>>13891291
If you want to smell like Burt Reynolds, go with Antaeus.

to the anon who just bought TdH VI, how much did you pay for it on ebay?

>>13891280
Overused, but still.

>>13891303
$75 delivered
We'll see how it be like soon enough.

>>13891307
Popular doesn't mean bad. You're right though, 2 out of every 3 times that I notice some other dude's fragrance it's Dior® Sauvage™.

>>13891291
Of those two, definitely DHI. More modern and IMO more likeable even if it is a bit of an acquired taste in and of itself.

>dont use deoderant
nigga i cant wear cologne on my armpits

If people hate axe or whatever so much what should I put on my armpits then?

>>13891329
Unscented deodorant such as Schmidt's or Crystal plus the fragrance of your choice. Please be sure you wash thoroughly and have zero trace of stink before applying either deo and fragrance to your pits. Also Axe spray isn't usually deodorant anyway. It's usually just cheap fragrance, though there are a few varieties that include antiperspirant (Axe Dry).

>>13891329
Non-scented or lightly-scented deodorant is a thing my nigga. For non-scented options, those crystal deodorant sticks mentioned by >>13891373 are quite popular. Dove also makes a non-scented 48hr dry spray antiperspirant that I like (it's marketed to women but it's non-scented so it doens't make a difference). For a lightly scented option and my personal favourite, Jack Black makes a high quality deodorant/antiperspirant that smells great, but the smell doesn't project and won't clash with your cologne.

Should I toss my Armani Acqua Di Gio in the trash?

What should I wear for a beach/seaside/nautical vibe?

>>13891307
In my city guys barely wear frags at all and if they do it is one million or boss bottled. So sauvage is still unknown and gets you a lot of compliments eventhough it is a meme here lol

So I'm not crazy, month blanc legend night is completely superior to the regular right?

>>13891311
Its amazing

>paid retail price for a frag at Ulta because the lady helping me was cute asf and she told me it'smells good on me
>knowingly I could get the same frag for literally half the price online
I fell for their (jewish) tricks bros, hold me

I have no clue when it comes to fragrances. Is adg profumo a scent to wear everyday?

>>13891329
>if you smoke, quit

fuck you buddy, i started smoking cloves and got a couple of compliments on the smell

>>13891329
>spray onto cards
Fucking dumb. The medium its applied makes a huge difference for fragrance. Cards will never give you a wholly accurate picture. Investigate a few this way maybe sure, but each time you come in spray a different frag on each wrist so you can figure out how it smells on your skin which is unique from others (so 2 each visit)

It's possible to wear this in the current times and don't smell like a boomer?

I have half a bottle, every time I try to wear it feels like a punch in the face from your dad

>>13891398

>>13891521
It's the best Mont Blanc frag. Better than the overrated individuel. Supremely underrated.

>>13891618

>>13891618
kys

>>13891628
Guys, anyone?

God tier fragrance and also cheap

>>13891702
you can wear any fragrance you want every day

>>13891521
>>13891682
How's the performance of night though? Mont Blanc is notorious for having poor performance frags

>>13891716
Not really. Some fragrances are way too heavy for everyday use

>>13891618
>supporting local economy instead of buying from big corporate warehouse in desert
>feels bad and tricked
Lmao

>>13891660
Yes, be an alpha male somehow with fit body and have a job require wearing suit everyday

>>13891628
Should be fine

>>13891329
If ypu dress even remotely similar to any of those 4 faggots, you should wear Dylan Blue, not those.

>>13891307
I live in a rural town 2 hours away from the big city and the only frags I smell on guys are typical clubbing scents like eros, 1 million and the like but whenever I head to the big city I always smell sauvage.

whats the most cost efficient way of getting frags, i want to save up to get a couple for boxing day, do they do any real discounts like 10+% off online or in stores anywhere online? Whens the best time to buy it and where do you check for price updates on certain frags?

Is there anything else quite like Baccarat Rouge 540?

>>13891865
read the op.

>>13891727
ive only tested in store but it doesnt seem to project much or last very long, i only did 1 spray on my wrist and its very subtle after the first hour although i did still detect it 4-5 hours later

honestly still seems worth it, it smells so good

>>13891880
is fragrencenet really the cheapest option available, how do they manage such steep discounts?

>>13891888
I know, they have some damn cheap creeds, but I'm worried Im gonna get some stale old shit or something.

>>13891883
I agree. it's extremely pleasant but the preformance seems to be lacking. if this shit lasted it'd easily bet top 5 in terms of scent alone it's so fucking good.

What stores do Australian posters use? Chemist Warehouse? Feelingsexy? Fragrancenet and the other internationals?

What fragrance does pic related wear?

>>13891933
MyBeautySpot if you're in Victoria.

>>13891888
yes. unless you want to bid on a no reserve auction on ebay or lowball somebody on the basenotes for sale subforum. they manage the discounts because they buy off retailers who want to clear their shelves to make room for new stock.
>>13891894
no such thing. fragrances from the 1930s still hold up. we're talking about oils suspended in alcohol inside a more or less airtight glass. and from the 1990s on, most of these ingredients are synthetic.
>>13891937
roja enigma

>>13891948
Fuck me, I was just in Melbourne. Won't be there again until Feb.

>>13891959
They do deliver as far as I know. They're priced the same as Chemist Warehouse but have more frags in their selection such as Guerlain's stuff which CW doesn't have.

>>13891937
>I dont always wear perfume, but when I do, I prefer dylan blue

>>13891874
i first smelled it two days ago along with other hyped frags like silver mountain water, black afgano, patchouli imperial, cedrat boise etc etc and BR540 is the most memorable scent of them all.

I love the burnt sugary smell dancing with the super salty musky ambergris.

Come to think of it the ambergris in BR540 reminds me of the same potent ambergris used in Aventus once upon a time.

I'm def copping a full bottle. I can't imagine what the rest of the MFK line smells like. Will have to order samples

>>13891933
Priceritemart has large discounts all the time

>>13891937
Paco Rabanne Pour Homme

>>13891750
Ulta is not local

The top of the atomizer (the part you press) just randomly came off my bottle of MiP. I don't even use it I just take the cap off once in a while to sniff it and I noticed one day the top was loose and it just fell off. Is there a way to reattach it?

GUYS

>>13892271
Guys I tell you with this fragrance will be so powerful and will get the most intense ladies reactions. Fragrance army has made my journey what is is and you all have so much strength and power. Just 5 minutes ago I see my brothers new child and it is happening so much for my family and my friends and all of fragrance army. We have master perfumer on this and this fragrance is the best fresh mens fragrance on the market, I test every small variation so i make sure this is perfect, guys. The strength is just so much you guys and when this fragrance sell so much I buy new Ferrari because it is the best of the best just like this fragrance and just like fragrance army, guys. When you smell this you are just gonna be like "wow", trust me guys. I just want to make this video because it is happening so intensely and we will keep making videos like we always do, peace guys.

>>13892271
he got Alberto Morillas as his perfumer? holy shit. dudes made some of my favorite scents.

>>13892269
Push it back on

>>13892271
>>13892300
jeremy is unironically based, even in his negative opinions hes likeable and would be a fun person to hang out with

>>13892271
>>13892300
>>13892342
will you blind buy? fragrance army?

>>13892271
couldn't have happened to a better guy. I hope him all the success. fuck the YouTube fragcomm for trying to shit on him every step of the way. heart power worldwide!

>>13892411
Anyone have links on the YouTube drama involving Jeremy? I've heard stuff about plagiarism and harassment stuff but haven't really looked into it.

Why are there so few genuine fragrance enthusiasts here?

It seems like the most genuine posters are retarded teenagers trying to figure out what "cologne" is gonna make their crush like them.

>>13892530
we keep quiet because there's not much to say in the end. i have amouage, serge lutens, parfums mdci, and tauer in my collection but 75% of my participation in /frag/ is recommending wonderwood

>>13892530
Niche interest on a relatively niche board. Never gonna attract loads of people is it.

>>13892530
we keep quiet because there's not much to say in the end. i have amouage, serge lutens, parfums mdci, and tauer in my collection but 75% of my participation in /frag/ is recommending wonderwood to the nth noob looking for a wood perfume

>>13892543
Any experience with Lyric by Amouage?

>>13892549
lyric man or just lyric? no experience but the note list looks good and from what i have tried over the years, amouage is reliable. not every frag is a knock out of the park but even their more generic ones are well composed

just how much does a cigarette habit ruin your sense of smell?

>>13892567
There's this old lady I'm friends with who smokes a lot and she knows I'm into fragrances so we talk about that a lot and when she tries to sniff Dior Sauvage off me she had to lean very close and almost touch my skin to smell it. Might be due to age though but I sure as hell can't smell her fragrance when she just finished smoking.

>>13892637
Shit I'm only 22 and in the same boat as her. Feels bad, man.

>>13892637
Sense of smell fades a lot with age. It’s why old women’s perfume is so strong. They don’t have any idea how strong it is, and who’s going to tell an old lady she smells?

>>13892530
Everyone here personally sampled most obsessive 1960s women perfumes through 2010s obscure Paris exclusive niche firm scents.

But they tell you Sauvage is the best, all just to troll you.

>>13892802
That's because Sauvage is redpilled.

>>13892802
I unironically love sauvage

>>13892271
10/10 will preorder.

We will need an objecgive reviewer to review this scent though. We can't take jeremy's word on this one since it's his scent. Also half of the fragcom hates his ass.

>>13892874
He's going to have a video with women sniffing it anyways.

>>13892874
He's doing himself a disservice not selling samples of it though. People would be tempted to get samples just because it's Jeremy.

>>13892966
That's a decanting opportunity for us.

>>13892978
Actually, speaking of, does anyone know how expensive it is going to be?

>>13893009
I believe he said it was going to be a niche fragrance so expect 200+ dollars

>>13892271
>I've done alot for this

What do you think he meant by that?

>>13892832
donkeybrain??

>>13891696
Your posting a picture of a boot pushing a jew in an oven. That offensive man. Not cool at all.

>>13892271
>"The Jews is ready." In thick German accent.

What did he mean by this?

>>13892832
Yeah. Never understood the hate

>>13893132
"The Jews is not good enough".

>>13893122
You know what he meant, anon. You know exactly what he meant.

He got to sample Morillas’ Secretions Magnifiques.

>>13893146
>>13892832


Age?

>>13892370
I tried pressing it back on but it doesn't stay on :(

>>13893159
26. I own roughly 30 frags. I don't go to it as much as when I first got it. But it's not bad by any means.

What would be a step up from Davidoffs Cool Water?
Preferably something similar but for winter
Im looking at frantica and it has Versace as something similar, and I know I like it

Looking for some recs so I can get some samples later today

>>13893246
In my opinion fresh fragrances don't really fit in fall/winter. You might live in a subhuman country without seasons though

Should I blind buy Havana by Aramis? I'm looking for a very affordable winter fragrance and based on the notes, this seems right up my alley.

>>13893314
I think you should blind buy everything
I think you should have to use the whole bottle and really study the notes even if you hate it

I'm looking for a bergamot or orange based frag I can use when it gets cold also.
I'm not sure I like the sound of TdH since it seems a bit earthy to me.
Is there anything else worth trying out?

>>13893206
I was afraid you would say that. It looks like the atomizer is supposed to screw down into the sprayer. Try screwing it in. If it still won't stay, try a very small dab of glue on what looks like the threads on the atomizer. Hope this helps.

>>13892300
#fragrancearmy United! You’re the man Jeremy! Can’t wait to experience your journey with you

>>13893322
How present is the tobacco note? Its one of my favorite scents.

Does anybody here have a clue when mdci is releasing their new collection?


Thanks.

>>13892874
I expect it to be sauvage with an Aventus dry down.

I don’t know if I’ll want to wear it, but there is no chance he puts out something that’s not liked by 90% of the female population. All the autistic reviewers will hate it regardless.

>>13892874
>>13892381
I have a feeling it's gonna be a really good fragrance. Jeremy doesn't have bad taste, and he even said that he's attempting to hit the whole demographic (designer/niche) with this one so I expect it to be bold but pleasing. Plus he got fucking Alberto Morillas to make his juice. The guy has made some incredible scents. There's a small clip in the video of him getting female reactions of his fragrance and they instantly give it a 10/10. That kinda worries me because it could also be some super generic mass-pleaser. Still hard to tell but I'm leaning towards it being something I'll like tremendously.

>>13893509
Do we know what it's called yet?

>>13893529
Nothing yet. He had it in a small tester bottle and he was covering up the name with his thumb.

>>13893385
It's not very present. Any review will tell you that. But it's there, i own the fragrance so i'd know.

Just blind bought Guerlain Heritage & Vetiver (both as edt after reading reviews of edp vs edt). I know what I'm expecting, but what does /frag/ think of these? Don't see them mentioned very often.

>>13893540
I’mma guess “Chadtistic Pour Homme”.

>>13893745
Heritage is really nice and under appreciated. Don’t be alarmed after the first spray, you’ll want to wait a solid 30 minutes for it to settle

is eau des baux good for someone in their mid 20s or is it more mature? Just want to avoid any old man cologne hints

>>13893902
It doesn't come off as an old man scent at all. It opens with some spice, incense, and cypress, and dries down to a slightly sweet vanilla. Perfect for the cooler weather.

Just blind bought Bentley for Men intense because of jerememe. Is it good?

Would it be a good idea to wear Armani Code year round? Is it cloying in the summer?

>>13893325
Bleu de Chanel edt/edp reminds me of a more classy, sophisticated Tdh

>>13894050
Smells disgusting in my opinion.
At least it’s cheap.

>>13894050
I like it, though it is a touch sweet. Also it doesn't last very long on me.

typical basenoter in that pic they can fuck right off

>>13892300
based jeremyposter, never leave us. If ever a month goes without a post from you, I will presume /frag/ is compromised.

Whats the difference between Creed Royal Oud and Royal Oud Millesime? Concentration? Nothing? No sellers specify and even have pictures of both for the same product. How do I know what I'm getting?

>>13894710
No difference. It’s the same thing, they’ve just stopped putting “millesime” on the bottle.

>>13893732
Thanks. I've watched and read reviews and some said it was hardly there, while others said that's all there was.

>>13893745
Heritage smell dated according to various reviews, though Luca Turin tells it is one of the 1990s trend, he basically says it is Ryan Gosling on 6'2" NFL quarterback body imagery.

Guerlain Vetiver is good, smell like mosquito spray, very non sexy and cold.

>>13894510
lmao Peter is the most pretentious faggot in the community. If there's anybody I can't watch, it's him. Harping on and on about "synthetics" and yet still has the vag to cry and put out an almost hour long video about how much mean comments affect him. It's funny, he shits on anything popular because he knows he can't pull it off by grabbing pussy. Peter is a symptom of nichesnobbery. Has everything, and yet nothing. Has a cool job, plays guitar, and still you can sense that sadness in the tone of his voice because he can't get women. Real chads tearing clam are out there wearing Axe and catching digits. The whole reason for his fragrance kick was literally cause he was done dirty by a broad. That's as pathetic as it gets lmao

Are there any vintage perfumes that would hold up to modern fragrance tastes?

What are your favorite vintage scents? Favorite vintage bottles?

>he isn't white himself
yeah, checks out

>>13895226
Das rite ytboi.

Wow guys, I just smelled Baccarat Rouge 540 and this is the best thing I've smelled ever.

What fragrance should i get if i want something purely for myself to pick up on throughout the day but isn't noticeable by people unless they are really close to me? Also where and how should i spray it to achieve this? Prefer something cheap since i don't expect or want people to notice it.

>>13895256
tam dao to the neck and chest

>>13895355
this looks good but a lot more expensive than what im looking for and sold out on fragrancenet. Are the other diptyque scents as good? Is comfort cologne a thing?

Blind buy roja enigma
>y/n?

>>13895404
>is comfort cologne a thing?
yeah if you're a virgin.

>>13895404
I havent tried other diptyques but its definitely my comfort cologne. Sample it. The scent is very well blended and of a high quality, but stays very close to the skin. You can get a bottle of the edt for $90 or so, which is pretty cheap for a niche scent.

>>13895447
yolo nigga

>>13895615
I havent tried them side by side but basenotes generally says the parfum is better.

any frags for this aesthetic?
>inb4 Cool Water

>>13895693
something cdg

>>13895693
zara cedar or any cedar

>>13895693
Versace The Dreamer.

>>13895693

>>13895749
Invasion Barbare is actually a good fragrance.

>>13895693
Fahrenheit layered with Cool Water. Peak 80s fragrances.

>>13895749
>>13895693
this is a good comparison. not only for the bust but vaporwave is a reinterpretation of 1980s R&B. drakkar noir, a fougere, is the quintessential 1980s cologne. invasion barbare is a modern fougere par excellence

>>13895615
They’re basically identical. EDP already gets 10 hours+ longevity on me. Personally, I see no reason to go parfum.

>>13895693
Baccarat Rouge 540

>>13895465
Shut up, anon.

>>13894371
Anyone?

>>13891307
literally everyone wears this

>>13896164
Because it's good.

Can /frag/recommend me what to wear to impress a uni girl who is travelling halfway across the country to see me in a couple of months?
I was thinking of The One EDP and just keeping an atomiser to reapply, however Fuel for Life or Pure Malt sounds like a good idea to.
I'd rather not be the NPC Sauvage wearer though.

>>13896264
unless she has particular taste people like virtually any mainstream cologne in my experience, doesn't really matter. ill suggest pure malt just so you can move on and focus on something else regarding your meeting

>>13896134
not from brazil but if you don't trust retailers in your own country you could try to use a parcel forwarding service

Too bad I'm not a big fan of Replica.

>>13896264
Don’t reapply. Projection really isn’t pleasant for most people. It looks bad on the wearer, don’t listen to autists who spray 6 times. Cologne should be really subtle.

>>13895447
Smells like a Vanilla Coke. Get it if that appeals to you

>>13896367
This one thousand times holy shit. Don't reapply. Ever. Nine times out of ten you've gone noseblind and you're just stinking yourself up. Basenotes are what make fragrances sexy. You'll be the "cologne guy" if you do. Don't be this kind of faggot. Spray your neck and wear and nice shirt and give the collar a couple of shots WELL BEFORE you meet up with her. Don't listen the "muh Chad maisma" twats.

>>13896369
That smell does appeal to me.

Is it just me or do Encre Noire and Gucci Guilty absolute go particularly well with one another?

Ordered Dior Homme Parfum tester from a trusted store but a photo they gave to me had somewhat dodgy bottle. What do you say?

>>13896696
>background is literally a bubble wrap
how much was it? if it's really cheap and don't mind it throwing it away if it's fake

>>13893745
How old are you?
If youre younger than 30 they wont work for you. Hertiage is a beautiful scent, but its hella dated. Vetiver is harsh

>>13895693
Douse urself with arizona green tea

would spraying household objects be a decent idea to test longevity and sillage? i realise they'd be colder than my own skin, but then again not actually wearing the fragrance might be good for such kind of testing

>>13896367
>>13896461
There are definitely fragrances which need to be reapplied after 4-6 hours because they genuinely don't last any longer than that. The One is on that list, along with many cheap scents commonly recommended here.

Take the Gf/wife (for most of you probably) or the mom pill /frag/. Every time she gets make-up I ask her to ask for some samples. In case the pic is shit quality these are the frags, not the most unusual ones though

I'm 33 and 5'8 manlet, 160lbs. No style whatsoever. Currently wearing blue dickies, a harley shirt with a thermal underneath, a Carhartt beanie, and timberland workboots. I dress like this almost every day. What frag do I buy? Currently wearing L'Homme Ideal EDP.

>>13896908
Forgot pic, also open to some woody or floral recs of widely available frags. Going to buy samples of CdG Avignon, Jazz club, By the fireplace, maybe a Creed frag and tabacco vanille soon

SKINS (.nl)

how fucking slow can they be for shipping???

>>13896982
Snice things ship slowly.

Can i get some opinions on this, is it suitable for a 23 year old guy?

>>13896994

Diptyque Tam Dao or Terre d'Hermes.

I ordered a bottle of DHI. Excited for it to arrive!

>>13896072
The cost difference between the two of them is 100 dollars, I am really tempted to buy the parfum, also it is easier to find in the US it seems like. But I honestly dont know which to get.

>>13897587
Up to you, but I’ve owned both and the difference in scent is basically nonexistent. The parfum does last longer, but as I said, the EDP already lasts more than long enough. EDP also projects better, but they’re both extremely strong. End of the day, that extra 100.00 really isn’t getting you anything.

Just my opinion, of course.

>>13897733
>but I’ve owned both
Ohh okay, that would have helped if you had said so sooner, thank you, I shall get the EDP then, much appreciated.

>>13897543
?

>>13891311
It's here. It's very nice indeed. First thought is that this is a niche tier composition. Restrained citrus, pepper, grassy vetiver. Terrific.

>t. hurt honky

So I bought a bottle of Penhaligon since it was on sale on the luckyscent. It's been a little over a week and it still hasn't shipped should I be worried?

I kind of want invasion barbare, I feel bad saying that.

>>13895247
Shut the fuck up, retard

>>13895247
>>13895447
Should I buy Baccarat Rouge 540 or Roja Enigma? I have money to burn and three more months of winter to enjoy thicc scents.

where do I go from here

Today I sampled Bois d'Argent by Christian Dior. About 15 minutes in to the dry down i recognized the scent. My big titted cousin wears this... Her double d's kept clouding my head all day today.

Anyways it's a more slightly feminine frag but these type of frags tend to garner more compliments from women, for me at least. I received two today which is a new record. It's a pass for me though.

>>13898337
what are your thoughts on eau des baux

>>13898404
would buy again

Thoughts?

>>13898410
i meant like specifics, what mood, how long does it last how does the scent change, its still a good blind buy

>>13898415
invictus is pure guido swill. don't get memed my friend. if you're gonna go with a club fragrance pick aventus or le male or something, not this shit.

>>13898420
definitely a safe blind buy, that's what I did and it's my favorite of the bunch. starts off with a nice blast of spice and after a minute or so the incense and woodyness comes out with a real nice cypress note which doesn't take it out of the aromatic realm. dries down to a smooth vanilla after an hour maybe. I smoke cigs so my sense of smell is fucked but I get solid whiffs of it throughout the day and it'll last a solid 24 hours on clothes if you don't wash them. I think it's a pretty safe daily driver for my retail wageslave job and I find it fitting enough for the local dive bar I frequent

>>13898456
thanks for the write up, looking forward to getting it myself.

>>13896848
Not really. I could be rough, but the reality is that some chemicals decay at a faster rate on skin than on cloth, wood, or leather.

>>13897925
I want to try it, memes aside
>>13898337
Thoughts on Individuel?
>>13898415
>>13898440
Invictus Intense is not guido swill, just Invictus is, imo.

>>13898527
>Thoughts on Individuel?
clean and sweet work fragrance, nothing more. meh performance especially to me as a smoker. was impressed when it was still my first fragrance, no longer reach for it now that I have more shit. Safe blind buy if only due to how cheap it is.

>>13898527
i tried TDH and loved it immediately but then started second guessing reading all the old man scent comments on fragrantica and yt reviews

>>13898306
Do you want to smell like cola or cotton candy?

>>13898306
Baccarat Rouge 540 is wearable in the heat while Enigma isn't.

>>13897002
If your gay then yes?

What scent would describe the aesthetic of Revolutionary Girl Utena?

Do you guys want to smell better than everyone else or is that just me

>>13898664
My original reason for wearing them was because I work with disgusting smelly chemicals and wanted to mask the smell. Then I got compliments. Now it’s gone to my head and I feed off them. Now I’m about £1500 worse off and my most expensive fragrances at worst receive scorn and at best receive silent scorn.

To date the most compliments I’ve received has been my 2ml free sample of Sauvage EDP. I *want* to smell better than everybody else, but most people seem to think I smell worse, but I think it’s because simply smelling of anything at all is worse than smelling of nothing.

>>13898306

540

>>13898306
enigma

>>13897002
This is like honey if gays were bears. Good thing is, females have no self formed opinion, so when you get complimented by gays, females will always agree that this smells delicious.
Happened to me thrice, not memeing.

My collection is nearly finished. Only got to choose between Dior Homme Sport 2012 and Dior Homme Cologne 2013

>>13898306
Everyone knows Roja is overpriced garbage. Not sure about Baccarat Rouge but everything I've heard about it is decent.

>>13898306
Enigma.

Ignore this faggot >>13899184 he has a hate boner for Roja and always has to mention how shit he thinks it is every time someone mentions it. Because he has autism.

>he pays retail price for frags
please tell me you don't do this

>>13899211
>He pays for frags

I have a nice thought experiment for scents.

You are a high school teacher in a closed classroom with closed windows and thirty 10/10 cute or pretty schoolboys. Such as young DiCaprio. Imagine everyone wears a same scent, such as 30 BdC wearing boys or 30 Encre Noire boys. If you imagine you need to ventilate the classroom or suffocate on some particular fragrances, that scents are bad.

>>13899211
Literally no one here pays retail. We all use discount sites.

>>13899192
Eh, not anon, but Roja is overrated as fuck. I was shocked when I smelled enigma only to find it just smells like a vanilla coke

>>13898709
“Simply smelling of anything at all is worse than smelling of nothing”

Got me right in the feels

Curious, which of your fragrances that you wouldn’t expect are getting poor reactions?

>>13898290
What’s bad about?

>>13899570
Did you wait for the drydown? I mean, we all have our opinions, we’re not all going to like the same things, but it really only smells like vanilla coke for the first 20 minutes or so, then it becomes something quite different and luxurious.

Anyone tried Fort and Manle Forty Thieves? I’m very strongly considering copping, I’m just worried it may be too similar to Joob or Serge Lutens Arabie, both of which I already own.

Is there any objectively amazing frag?

I know CK frags are usually pleb tier but is Euphoria intense a good dumb reach for winter?
The amber, oud and ginger looks like it'd be a good match for me.

>>13899679
I didn’t. I didn’t even want to spray it on after I took the initial whiff from the paper I sprayed. I’ll have to give it another go

copped this on black friday, very happy with it, was using allure homme sport before that, thinking of copping some no 5 during christmas/NY sales

Is allure homme sport strong enough to be worn when its cold?

>>13899818
I actually prefer it in the cold weather. the citrus is nice and with enough sprays can cut through the cold nicely. But I've noticed I actually prefer summer/spring scents in the fall/winter.

>>13899875
Understandable, I do like the freshness stuff like Spicebomb Fraiche and ADG have, just wasn't sure if it was worth wearing such frags when its cold.
Mind you I live in the South of the UK, so it never really goes below 2 c even in February.

>>13899780
M8, testing on paper never really gives you an accurate representation of a scent. You absolutely need to test it on your skin, and of course, you need to wear it long enough to get into the drydown.

>>13891280
Looking for a fruity fresh smell
Is this worth blind buying

>>13899911
It gets memed here for smelling like a mortician, but it's one of my favorites. Just go easy on the sprays.

>>13899909
It still gives you a pretty good idea. They differ, but not wildly. If I don’t like it I’m paper, I can pretty much guarantee I don’t like it on myself either. Never tried anything where that wasn’t true

>>13899958
It smells like a chiropractor and it makes you smell like rotten fruit if you’re hot and sweaty.

>>13899911
>rotten orange
>fresh

is mont blanc individuel a good daily scent? Its like 25-30 bucks for a bottle online

>>13900001
how about TdH Eau Fraiche? Not the anon you're replying to but I was considering picking up a bottle for work for summer.

>>13899958
>>13900001
>>13900005
So out of all the Terre d'hermes what one should I go for

>>13900026
Depends what you like. It does smell very synthetic, but it’s a pretty straightforward laundry sheets scent. Smells fresh and clean, won’t bother anyone, decent dumb reach frag.

I need to get a fucking job so I can buy all the fragrances I want. I should have never gotten myself into this. Thank god Im almost done with school.

Wearing this on a cool day here in SoCal. Reminds me of wonderwood by cdg without the sandalwood and pepper replacing it with varnish and some weird fucking whiskey smell to it, which is good to me. Sad it doesn't last long though.

What fragrance do you wear on those days when you… don’t really want to wear anything in particular, actually? You know, those days in which your oriental spicy niche stuff, your manly woody powerhouses and even your citrusy summery colognes all seem to make too much of a statement? Is there a particular bottle you reach for when you “just want to smell good” without even trying?

>>13900089
Bleu EdP

>>13900089
Usually Amouage Reflection. Very snice clean scent, high quality, but it’s just sort of there. Doesn’t really make a statement, just smells snice.

> not one mention of Tom Ford
Thread dropped.

>>13900146
TF frags have been discussed to death though.
You seriously want another thread talking about TL and GV?

>>13900005
Of fuck I thought I was the only one to smell something rotten in it!

>>13900146
>>13900158
I just got Fucking Fabulous a couple weeks back. Surpringly good stuff. I think a lot of people hate on it because of the name, but it’s a legitimately snice frag.

>>13900158
I’ll take that over the Dylan Blue fuckbois and Sauvage garglers.

Has anyone smelled both l'eau d'issey(1992) and l'eau dissey pour homme gold absolute recently and can comment on how similar they are?

I got a sample of the latter recently and I feel like they might have got the order wrong because it smells identical (as far as I remember) to what all my aunts were wearing when I was a kid

>>13900179
B-but muh niche smells like swampass!

>>13896134
Suck it up the price, real is low value, no way around it.
Most people buy fakeries though, like Zara countertypes. Check 'in the box perfumes'

>>13900112
Agreeable, I can see how it could work for that, but I tend to smell it more on classy/business/suit & tie guys in my area.

>>13900118
I actually managed to smell it for the first time like, two weeks ago. It didn’t leave me with a long lasting impression, maybe that’s why it works that way for you. Somewhat sophisticated, that’s for sure.

>>13900146
My “neutral mode” scent is actually Grey Vetiver edp. But there are days when I wish I had something more understated. A while ago I had a Mojave Ghost sample which just seemed to do the trick, provided I sprayed twice max.

>>13900089
Looking for the same breh. Just something super understated that’s just slightly more interesting than just clean skin.

>no L'occitane sales

>>13900182
If I don't forget I'll try both on my next trip to town for you

>>13900265
top lad
appreciate it

Memoirs of a Trespasser > Whispering Myths > Falling into the Sea

>>13900198
Agreed.

>>13899579
Dior Homme Eau, Prada L’Homme, TF Noir Extreme all had negative reactions.

I wore Tobacco Vanille once and of all the days it had to be the day they turned the heating on and I choked people out. Never mind...

I actually got a compliment today for Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. From a woman! Although she’s 12 years older and married so I’m not getting to excited, but it did make me grin all day.

>>13899795
Get No 5 from craigslist/gumtree, there's always someone who got it as a gift and don't want it.

>>13900089
Molecule 02

>>13899753
Original euphoria actually got me laid by a 9/10 qt in community college back in 2008. First fragrance I ever bought, now I'm >30 bottle autist, but still get torqued when i smell euphoria thinking of her.

>>13900040
Eau Tres Fraiche

>>13900171
You got the faggy censored one though. L.

>>13900146
So start a discussion instead of bitching you dingus.

>>13900406
2 of those 3 (excluding TF) are among the most inoffensive, mass-appealing frags out atm. You must also smell of bo, cigarettes, or be ugly as shit if you're getting bad reactions to those. That, or you are applying wayyyy too much. Either way, git gud scrub.

>>13900502
I think it’s probably a mixture of it being 99% Men I work with and being quite humid. I don’t smoke or smell of BO, and I definitely am not ugly. Not ugly enough for negative smell reactions at least. I guess it’s bevause they’re stereotypically “manly men” who want to smell like hammers and grease so L’Homme is probably a bit out there for them.

>>13900506
Ohhh shit nigger why didn't you say it was dudes with bad reactions? That's not bad, you're gonna get roasted by male coworkers no matter what, especially if you have a blue collar job. If you want them to like it try Dylan Blue.

For real, though, try Fahrenheit, or any fougerre. Azzaro Pour Homme or Brüt for cheap, Rive Gauche or something Penhaligon if you wanna soend some more.

>>13893509
of course he's shilling his own shit he wants you to buy it. to me it's a red flag if you have to blind buy with no samples.

>>13900502
Yeah, I know. Sucks that my bottle is censored, but what’re ya gonna do? That’s what they had. Still a snice scent, though.

>>13894316
eh alot shill for freebies. I only watch them sometimes usually catch mr smelly or BBB

>>13900619
and simply put scents

>>13900506
>smell of soap and iris
>hurr why men hate them

Try this.

First time using fragrance outside of regular deodorant. Did I fuck up? If so, what's a good starter fragrance?

any good designer fragrance deoderant sticks? Are they a meme?

this is fucking retarded i cant believe some people care this much

smelling nice is not a substitute for having no personality

>>13900633
Snicebomb is a solid winter scent. Not a bad pick at all.

>>13900665
>this projection

It’s called a hobby, m8. It’s a thing interesting people do with their time. I’m sorry you don’t have any interests, that must be really boring.

>>13900691

He ain’t got any hobbies, m8. Nothing better to do with his time.

What's the general feeling around Parfums de Marly? Tried Herod the other day and really enjoyed it, got fantastic longevity too (a good 12 hours)

Also anyone know of any cheaper alternatives to Herod,? Love it but it's a bit out of my price range.

>>13895693
F A H R E N H E I T

or alternatively, because of it's nonchalant fuccboi vibes and digital neo-classicism revival

S A U V A G E

What do you faggots think of Profumo?

>>13900769
PdM is my favorite house, I have 6 of theor frags. Herod is my 2nd favorite behind Godolphin. People will tell you all these cheap tobacco frags because they share a note with Herod, but none of them are that similar. The most similar frag I own is L'Homme Ideal EDP. It's the same type of sweetness and warmth with awesome longevity. It doesn't really have any tobacco but in my opinion the tobacco isn't the star of Herod. You alrwady know what Herod smells like so get a sample of LI and see what you think.

>>13900257
They run a 20% often, but I haven't seen better. If you are in the US, grey market sites stock them.

>>13900867
Which other PdMs do you own, and why do you like Godolphin best?
I have Layton, Layton Exclusif, and Carlisle. Of those, Carlisle is my favorite though all three have a very similar feel to them. I have a carded sample of Herod, but I'm waiting for summer to buy it out-of-season when it's cheaper.

>>13900665
women notice these things, whether its my gf or a friend or staff in shops they can tell i wear chanel and it always impresses me

can a guy get away with wearing this?

>>13901013
A rose on a woman is a feminine rose and a rose on a man is a masculine rose.

>>13899795
What’s this like compared to normal homme sport

>>13900952
Holy shit good taste! I own the 3 you have, Herod, Godolphin, and Pegasus.
>Godolphin
I was trying to choose between GD and La Yuq because I wanted a TL-like frag. GD was more subtle on the leather. The first time I wore my sample I was seething because the leather seemed to disappear after a short time. About 20mins into my seething I smelled something and was like GODDAMN what smells so fucking good? I looked around my house and eventually realized it was GD; the leather goes away pretty quickly, but what comes after is a drydown to die for. After more autistic testing I realized I can still smell a little leather the whole way through, but when the basenotes come to the front and mix with the leather it creates something really special to my nose.
>Pegasus
Got it cause it reminds me of how my mom's hair smelled when I was a wee lad UWU. Also smells pretty nice and chicks seem to dig it.

>>13899795
>>13900426
>>13901111
why does the original allure homme always get overlooked

>>13900665
nobody here is under that delusion. pepople who care about fragrance have enjoyment more like it is aromatherapy

my gf wears this and i like it, im curious to see how she will react when i try no 5, i doubt men will notice but women will definetly notice if you wear a feminine fragrance

>>13896164
Everyone who wears cologne, which isn't that many people
