L'HOMME INFINIMENT

I'm considering blind buying Boss Orange Man in a sale but I'm not 100% sure of it.
Anyone else here tried it?

>>13929881
What’s the consensus on this?

>>13929901
to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Dior Fahrenheit. The scent is extremely avant-garde, and without a solid grasp of theoretical perfumery, most of the notes will go over a typical wearer's head.

Post your hoards.

Also where can I sell shit I don't want?

>>13930020
I go to the other place
>>13930037
It's amazing, not sure about projection and longevity, though. I'd have it already, but I can't really justify getting yet another oud frag this year. I'll probably buy some decant at some point.

>>13930053
What Aramis do you have?

Just got testers of Maison Martin Margiela I was interested in. Mixed feelings, I really wanted to love them.

>Music Festival
Literally Allading pants mom core, 0/10
>At The Barber's
What is the point of reconstructing the smell that accurately, just interesting, can't imagine wearing it for more than 15minutes 4/10
>Jazz Club
The best out of these three but the vanilla is too dominant and mix too femininely sweet for my tastes 6/10

I get the point, he wants to recreate some settings as accurately as possible, but the fact that you can recreate phone booth smell with autistic details doesn't mean that anyone would like to wear it. CB I hate perfumes does similar things as his credo, but somehow he can make actual wearable perfume out of his olfactory reminiscences of places or scenes. Maybe I picked wrong Margiela's frags, though.

>>13930055
thoughts on a blind buy? And what's the cheapest I could get a bottle

Tempted to buy a bottle of Le Male on sale since I could use a bottle for work and casual use, given very few people I know use frags where I live.
But I've heard Luna rossa sport is better, so I can't decide. I do like the JPG bottle though and i'm a sucker for see through bottles so I can tell how much juice I have left...

>>13930072
They’re interesting, and a little fun, but to me they’re largely useless. Especially when they’re made exclusively in 100ml and aren’t cheap.

>>13930037
good fragrance for someone seeking a straight up woody scent. to compare with other woody fragrances: encre noire the incense is more prominent, tam dao feels more 'creamy' with its amber and musk, he wood has a floral note to contrast. wonderwood also features conifers, where if you want to compare with oud wood for example, it is still a wood scent, but you will get the oud's medicinal quality. royal oud is less medicinal but a more balanced/traditional composition overall. comme des garcons specialty is having angular or single-pointed composition for lack of better terminology.

>>13930073
If you like wood frags, then I'd say it's quite safe buy. I'm sure that there are some 9/25ml bottles of CdGs. I've seen some on fragrance net, but idk if it was wonderwood. Probably you'll need to use ebay/amazon.

>>13930072
Jazz Club to me is nice, but that's it, just nice. It doesn't even smell like what I picture as a jazz club smelling like, it's too sweet and safe, where's the smoke and dirt? It's a PG-13 jazz club.

>>13930087
To me the drydown of Jazz Club should smell like the smoky opening of By The Fireplace.

>>13930081
>>13930083
thank you boyos. I don't know enough about fragrances to know if I like wood scents or not. I currently have santal 33 and by the fireplace that I got as a gift and quite like them both

>>13929901
to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Dior Fahrenheit. The scent is extremely avant-garde, and without a solid grasp of theoretical perfumery, most of the notes will go over a typical wearer's head.

>>13930072
Thanks for the report anon. It seems that the theory of MMM fragrances is better than the actual execution. There has been so much hype on here on Jazz Club & At The Barber's on here, but I think as people on /fa/ we are attracted to the name more than the actual quality. I think at this point, these are just mall-tier fragrances hiding in niche packaging and advertising. Margiela was bought out long ago and these are available at every Sephora. I think they are overpriced for what they are.

>>13930083
Quorum Silver by Puig smells EXACTLY like a lumberyard. It's really pleasant in the winter, and cheap to boot (in price, not quality). It's dry and rustic with just enough sweetness to round it out.

>>13929848
Thanks for this my guy

CDG Avignon is the best frag ever made and if you disagree you're a tastelet pleb

20% off at the perfumedcourt today.

I trying to check out with the code HOLIDAY but it wont let me for some reason. Does it work for you guys?

>>13930056
Jhl and Tuscany.

Anyone here to give me some insight on Yatagan by Caron?

I'm looking for a versatile work and casual scent that can be worn most of the year save for really hot summer days.
I like slightly spicy and sweet scents that aren't too sweet unlike Code Profumo.

Any recommendations for an office / everyday appropriate scent - preferably masculine. I understand my list is probably the basic bitch of fragrances and I don't usually like masculine (usually fresh?) fragrances but I feel I need one.

Perfumes I've owned and liked:
Paco Rabanne One Million
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male
Dolce & Gabbana The One
Valentino Uomo
Just bought Tom Ford Noir Extreme which might be a tad too vanilla / sweet

>>13930935
Prada l'homme, Mugler Cologne, Versace Pour Homme.

>>13930935
Pic related or L'homme Ultime

Tfw I can't find a beatiful 300ml bottle of Mugler Cologne in my shithole coutry

>>13930997
Vetiver is too patrician for this pleb

>>13930473
How old are you?

does something coffee-scented work well in practice or does it just make you smell like a wageslave?

>>13930935
Tom Ford Ombre Leather? It's masculine but not a heavy leather scent like tuscan leather, dry down is pretty nice and wont be a smell that gets in everyones nose all day like 1 million

has anyone tried out that red chanel no5? it's being advertised like crazy

>>13931368
It's the same as Chanel No. 5, just a new bottle.

Just sprayed some on about an hour ago. The burning wood/fire note smells so incredible my fellow High IQ friends

Gonna buy a bottle of Santal 33 and call it quits with fragrance till next holiday season. I think I spent just over a grand on fragrances since early November. Happy Holidays and see you guys next year!

>>13931450
>Santal 33
Because, you don’t respect therapy. Because, You're a scientist. Because, you invent, transform, create and destroy for a living. And when you don’t like something about the world, you change it. And you don’t think going to a rented office in a strip mall to listen to some agent of averageness explain which words mean which feelings has ever helped anyone do anything. You think it’s helped a lot of people get comfortable and stop panicking, which is a state of mind you value in the animals you eat, but it’s not something you want for yourself. You're not a cow. You're a pickle. When you feel like it. Santal 33 by Le Labo.

Scent for working in a cave

>>13931417
You knows it, fellow patrician

>>13931483
Sweat and no shower

I was thinking of trying out some niche summer scents and Creeds MI interests me the most as it seems like a good frag for a button up shirt and shorts. Is there anything else I should try?

>>13931480
>You're a pickle.

Summer scent that smells expensive to normies? I've been wearing Tuscan Leather all winter but it's becoming increasingly uncomfortable to wear this with the heat.

>>13931537
Bond Scent of Peace fH
Though as an American I don't know of a good discounter in OZ that carries the Bond line.

>>13931537
TdH EF

What does this smell like to you? It doesn't smell like weed and I don't get any patchouli. I am sniffing it on my arm and I am at a loss.

>>13931700
Smells like sweet patchouli to me. Smells a bit like clean hair, if that makes any sense. Not hair that's been recently shampooed, but hair that's been windblown? idk how to describe it but it's kinda pleasant.

something like pic related but less sweet/ more cedar/sandalwood?

>>13929871
Smell mostly woody?

>>13929881
I used to love this, but lately all I can smell is the leather note and I hate it. Why has my nose betrayed me?

>>13930053
I’ll buy your Adventus

Right now I only own Eros, but I just blind bought all of these:

Versace Dreamer
Encre Noire Lalique
Cool Water
Pino Silvestre
Mont Blanc Individuel

How did I do?

Is there anything similar to Dior Homme Parfum, but more... masculine?

>>13931952
Potentially 9.0 Zara. Havent tried it but supposedly the iris is less makeupy, and the amber and pepper might add a masculine edge.

>>13931965
>9.0 Zara
Thanks, I will check that one out. Although I had a Zara cologne once, and it went absolutely rancid after a year or so.

>>13929901
to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Dior Fahrenheit. The scent is extremely avant-garde, and without a solid grasp of theoretical perfumery, most of the notes will go over a typical wearer's head.

But in all seriousness this frag smells amazing but it's certainly not for the average joe. it smells like something a hipster would wear because it is so unique. Can''t really describe it you would have to smell it yourself.

>>13931992
indeed. I was very surprised to find I enjoy fahrenheit after turning my nose up at it on paper several times in the past.

>>13930053
here's my basic ass hoard

Any recommendations for something new to try? Keen to try some more 'woody' frags but so far ive really liked liked invasion barbare, the dreamer, pi, adp bergamotto di calabria and versace pour homme.

One bottle of Pure Havane or two 10ml decants of PdM Herod?

>>13930053
+AdP, TdH, CdB samples

Don't you find them too boomer for your age?

frag like cdg2 but not cdg2?

>>13932177
No matter how much money you have, you can't buy taste and this is a proof

>>13932213
lmao I definitely have neither

Now I don't mean to be soporific but thoughts on Frank Los Angeles #2 for longevity? Tried a sample and I like the scent but a lot of fragrances tend to wear off on my skin quickly.

>>13932212
Nasomatto - Blamage ???? just get CDG2 fgt

dunno why I have a soft spot for this
probably not very effay but the scent is good. reminds me of Davidoff but I prefer this

>>13932210
Nah, not at all man. But at the same time I'm married and don't really care too much what other people think. I personally like smelling like an old dude desu.

>>13932177
Encre Noir is cheap and great. I'd check that out. Always try before you buy.

>>13932398
don't let anyone tell you not to wear that shit. I'd be wearing Azzaro PH, Aramis, Or Black, Antaeus, Kouros. and Yatagan all the fucking time if I was married and people would bow to my cock and I'm getting hot thinking about it right now.

>>13929848
this is an awesome resource brah, keep posting it.

>>13930053
Might as well repost.

any love for helmut?
I find this intoxicating but it feels a bit too unisex for me most of the time

>>13932512
mah. fucking. nigga. this shit is like celestial alien baby powder up in this bitch. I'm lucky enough to own a pre-reform EDC, top notes are lopped off but once it settles in you're fucking golden my man. i wish I had glands that generated that odor.

Hookerfucker?

Wich serge lutens are those?

>>13929991
I smelled them in store. They’re no bad, but none of them stood out as being great.

>>13931182
The "dry down" gets so sweet for me, loses all leather and is just sweet.

>>13932456
That's kind of you. Do you plan to buy any of them?

>>13932631
I might buy Grey Flannel or One Man Show if I see them during grocery runs or something.

I kinda regret not getting dior homme for xmas but alrdy ordered others. Is there any similar (iris?) Frag that i could cop for summer? Heard prada homme is good?

>>13932661
The dirty secret is that Dior ripped off the original Cartier's Declaration. It's arguably cheaper and better than Dior

>>13932545
Yup.

Arabie and Un Bois Vanille. Arabie is super underrated if you like sticky-sweet, spicy oriental-gourmands imo.

>>13932469
>word fucking is taped over
I thought this was a meme, being from yurup

Picked this up today, how did I do?

>>13931749
bump

>>13932809
It’s not tape. The label’s actually printed like that. Wish it wasn’t censored, but what’re ya gonna do?

Don’t think it’s a European thing, specifically, though. The bottles at De Bijenkorf said Fucking Fabulous, it was just the ones at the duty free at the airport that were like this.

>>13932469
How is Aqcua di parma?

>>13932521
What would you say it smells like? Is it dank?

>>13929881
Are any of the flankers (save parfum) worth trying if I liked the original?

>>13932976
That one’s the Colonia Essenza. I like it. Snice, smooth citrus with rosemary and some florals. Reminds me of the old school Italian barber shop my dad used to take me to as a kid. Definitely a more mature scent, very distinctly Italian. I could see an older Mafioso wearing it.

>>13933016
So more floral than Citrus?

>>13932964
Yeah I think it’s the newer bottles are censored

I’m in the US and the newer bottles are censored but the only older ones aren’t

>>13933027
Not really. I get a lot of that bergamot and orange blossom. If anything, the rosemary is more prominent than the florals. The florals are definitely there, though.

>>13931944
Good

>>13932469
Thoughts on 2 man?

I sampled it years ago and enjoyed it for the first 5 minutes, but smelled like it had an undertone of piss after that.
Wondering it I should give it another go

>>13931989
Not the same anon, but recently tried Zara 9.0, never smelled DHP or DHI, but the 9.0 has a slight lipsticky vibe at the start, then it starts going into more of a spicy light leather, honestly the combo smells like sweet dried foresr berries. It's very pleasant. The sweetness isn't all that in your face, but it is very pleasant and plays along with the other notes nicely. Also it lasted remarkably long to my surprise.

Any good?

I tried Spicebomb over the weekend, a super pleasant smell which I could wear all the time, but I find it not too masculine, so I'm hesitating. Longevity was incredible though. I found it more sweet than spicy, lots of vanilla.

>>13929848
>creed aventus sold out

>>13933162
I don’t wear it that often, but it’s a snice sort of inky-incensey scent. I don’t get anything urinous from it, personally, but scent is funny like that, everyone gets something a little different.

Maybe give it another go if you want, it’s been years, maybe your tastes have changed.

thoughts on egoiste? I'm a noselet that smokes but I bought a bottle and I fucking love it even though I can't decipher it

>>13933409

one of the best mens fragrance ever released on the market, it's very profesional and mature

>>13932177
Whats that black metal looking sample?

>>13933623
I think it reads oakmoss

is there any fragrance that smells like an apple pie baking

>>13933813
too soon

>>13933813
Is this the hooker anon?

Is there any fragrance that smells ambiguous enough to just pass as a soap or natural scent or something? I have Prada L'homme which I feel is soft enough to pass as soap but I'm looking to expand my collection

Kinda tempted to blind buy Guerlain Vetiver with Christmas money
It's that or get decant of SMW, TV and Kryptomint.

>>13933813
Jesus, that's perfect. Too soon though.

>>13933849
Smw and TV are not worth the money. Try vetiver first, it's a hard pure intellectual scent

>>13933849
>Guerlain Vetiver
It can be had online for not that much, it's really nice.

>>13931944
poorly

>>13933823
I wish! Al Franken is a smokeshow!

>>13931944
Encre Noir and Individuel are alright. Though with what you spent on all that cheap, mostly dated fragrance, you could have bought something nice.

How does Creed Spice and Wood compare to Royal Oud?

>>13933831
Prada excels at this, check out Amber Pour Homme if you haven't already. Figuier Ardente by Atelier Cologne is also a great soapy scent. Check out Eau Des Merveilles and its flankers since they have that sparkling, mineral quality and smell functional.

>>13933877
how?

>>13933901
I don't think anyone will really think/distinguish that it's dated (not that I mind). The only hot weather scent I bought was cool water, when it gets to those months maybe I'll buy sauvage or Eau Fraiche, and Hawas. Though I don't know what you are considering a tier above what I already bought, only willing to go to around $120 for a frag in the future which would still be designer.

I genuinely get days where I like Dylan Blue and then I get times when I want to wear it but am repulsed by the smell.

What are your most complimented frags?

Any of you guys been to the perfume store in Disneyland? Is there anything worth getting there?

>>13933983
Isn't Spice and Wood out of production?

On a side note, went to the city this weekend and tried a bunch of creeds at their counter. Holy shit Viking is magnificent. Why was everybody so assblasted when it came out? To me it's like an uber-high quality niche version of Old Spice. Extremely masculine and very pleasant with great performance (the dude made me a small decant to try). It does smell very sharp for the first hour or so (harsh pink pepper) IF you put your nose right up to it. This is a mistake many plebs make when judging frags. Never stick your nose in it, let the wafts come to you and you'll see how much better it is. Don't even get me started on people who judge a frag from the way it smells on paper. Anyway, sorry for the blog. Just wanted to say how surprised I was that Viking was actually really snice, contrary to the attitude when it released.

I know hooker-fag has a full bottle. How do people around you react to it? Do you wear it often? I know you're all pumped about fucking Tuxedo or whatever atm...

Is there any reason to bother with 360 Red or the original ADG if I already own Profumo?

>>13929907
>>13929909
I sperged out yesterday and sprayed some on a paper card, because I really want to delve in and dissect the fragrance. Today it smells remarkably like Terre D'Hermes. I'm positive it's because Fahrenheit was actually one of the first Iso E Super overdoses in history. Really intriguing smell, do spray Fahrenheit on paper if you get the chance, many more hidden notes pop out such as the nutmeg as well. It's a god tier frag with incredible depth, and word has it that 2018 bottles are even stronger than 2015 and onwards.

>>13931944
Cool water is a based 80s and straight up /buellercore/

>>13930053

I can’t stop myself from buying
And I don’t have many expensive niche ones because I live in a secluded place where we don’t have as many shops and I like smelling samples in person

>>13934287
How do you find the Philosykos? For me the opening was very green and enjoyable, but after half an hour it becomes a generic shitty sweet coconut scent and after 3 hrs you cannot smell it at all. Been trying to find the similar green scent (without the sweetness) ever since.

>>13934287
Damn does everyone in this thread have such a big hoard

>>13934287
What's your top 5 designers in your collection?

>>13934304
have you tried L'Artisan Premier Figuier?
>>13934305
No. I have 2.

>>13934312
Haven’t tested it myself but ofc considered it. It also has the coconut note and reviews mention the poor performance, so I just assumed it’s not what I’m looking for. I might order a sample though, can you recommend it?

>>13934327
havent tried it either, just happened to see the a comparison video the other day.

I'm looking for something that smells like at the barber's, something like a more updated barbershop fragrance, that doesn't cost 126 bucks a bottle. I'll fork up if I have to but I am not so impressed by the stuff.

>>13934607
Invasion Barbare

AHSEE by women

Noir Extreme by men

>>13934805
thoughts on AHSEE compared to the original allure homme? I got a sample of OG allure and I really like the creamy vibe I get from it, I just wish it was a bit better in performance.

YSL rive gauche

Are you ready for the Friday? This guy is gonna flip the game and people are not gonna laugh. #gamechanger #jeremyisgod #highonmyownfarts

>>13934813
It’s been a while since I smelled AHS so I can’t be too much help, but AHSEE has a heavier drydown, quite noticeable Tonka. It still has noticeable citrus, but I think it takes it away from a summer fragrance and makes it better suited to cooler days. AHS would be good for high heat, but AHSEE wouldn’t be wise on hot days. I wear it even in the winter and it still works. I’d say it’s much more versatile, but less suited to the Summer like the original is.

Is this any good?

>>13934813

AHSEE is legitimately based

>>13934891
Yes, but I like Squidward more. It has amber and oakmoss notes, very masculine scent.

>>13934894
I'm essentially looking for an EDP concentration of this

>>13934813
I prefer the original. Eau extreme is waaaaay too powdery for me in the drydown.

ysl la nuit doesnt smell like anything? the smell is gone after few seconds?

>>13934972
It’s an incredible smell that lingers as long as a gnat’s fart.

>>13934198
Viking is chaotic af not snice at all.

>>13934826
What the fuck is that message lol

>>13935016
is there no way to actually get smell out of it?

Give me the best rose fragrances(male) in yr opinion

Thanks

How do Western oud frags compare to actual Arabian oud oils?

>>13934972
Yes it is really underwhelming. Hated it desu

>>13934198
Hookerfag here.

I wore Viking yesterday, actually. Love it. I agree it is a bit harsh at first, but I like that. Once it settles a bit, you get that cool mint with the smooth cinnamon and pink pepper, and the snice vetiver. Does have that old-school classic men’s aftershave vibe, but much higher quality.

Haven’t gotten too many comments on it, but I know my mother loves that one, and there’s this snice old lady who lives in my building who I help out sometimes, and she complimented me on Viking once. I doubt it’s a frag that most people will get tons of compliments on, but fuck ‘em, I love it, so I wear it anyway.

>>13934287

Need a good winter parfum that isn't Aventus.
For the summer I wear Green Irish Tweed, Milleslime Imperial, and occasionally Versace Eros. In my winter rotation all I have is Mont Blanc Legend Intense, something similar would be nice but more polite?

>>13935404
Aren’t discounts for a new batch? 160 for the first limited run, cheaper for next batch.

>>13935404
It's gonna be something average like poor man's aventus or slightly different sauvage. Jeremy is not very good at it, I would recommend to wait.

>>13935404
No. He’s been working on the scent like a few months, tops. He announced the whole thing less than a year ago, officially had Morillas involved for less than six months. There’s no way he’s produced anything great.

This shit is gonna be a train wreck.just sit back and enjoy the carnage.

>>13935413
Try Azzaro Wanted By Night

>>13935454
90% of a scent is the buzz behind it. And Jeremy has it. That thing will sell like crazy.

>>13935465
I think you overestimate how big this #fragrancearmy is. Dude doesn’t even have a million subs. He’s a nobody, as YouTube “celebrities” come. Yeah, the fragrance community isn’t huge, but Jeremy is at best a big fish in a small pond.

His diehard bootlickers (who aren’t 16 and actually have money) will buy it. A few others will buy it just out of curiosity or for the memes. After that, orders will dry up. It’ll flop just like everything else Jeremy has done.

>>13935482
He has 500k subs. His videos are lucky to hit 250k views. Some barely 100k. And then we have the percentage of those that actually a) have money and b) will want to spend that much.

I hope they allowed for that and were somewhat realistic.

>>13935502
Exactly. He’s vastly overestimating his own importance. Even a lot of hardcore fragheads have no clue who he is. Literally no one who isn’t super into fragrances knows him. He’s essentially relying on a non-existent reputation to sell a luxury product. I’m not even sure what his business model is. I don’t think his fragrances are even going to be for sale at stores.

Also, again, his fragrance is coming out 4 goddamn days before Christmas. Almost everyone’s already done their gift shopping by then. Horrible time to release a luxury product.

>>13935507
>I’m not even sure what his business model is
I get the impression that Jeremy thinks being a businessman is driving around in a nice car and wearing a suit whilst eating in fancy restaurants.

>>13935507
I think you're exagerating. Look at how many niche scents are on the market. I've never heard of most of them and yet they seem to sell.

Okay, it might not become the next Aventus/Sauvage, but he will def make some profit out of it. More profit than you're average niche scent.

>>13935404
>>13935425

It's buy one get one free for the first 100 buyers, 30% discount for the next 200, and 20% for the remaining kickstarter backers.

>>13935529
Most niche fragrances don’t sell much. That’s why they’re so expensive. It’s expected that they’ll only sell a few thousand bottle. There was an interview with the dude from Zoologist where he stated he’s sold about 8 thousand bottles TOTAL (as in all the scents in the Zoologist line put together).

https://www.fragrantica.com/news/Interview-with-Victor-Wong-of-Zoologist-Perfumes-11375.html

>>13935543
And that includes bottles that are sitting on shelves in stores/warehouses.

>160euros for the autistic patrick Bateman

>>13935566
Honestly I’d rather trust Bateman around my daughter than Jeremy.

>>13935465
I think the problem here is you’re vastly overestimating Jeremy. You assume he’s competent. He is not. He may appear so to an outside viewer, because all we really see of him is what he wants us to see. We’re getting a veneer from his videos, nothing more.

Historically, Jeremy has proved himself none too apt. He failed as a musician, he failed as a model, he failed as a general fashion blogger. Even his current fragrance channel endeavour has been rocky. He’s deleted like half his videos.

Jeremy is not a master hype man and a shrewd businessman. He’s a spoiled rich kid who wants to be famous, but he doesn’t have the aptitude to be successful enough.

>>13935599
He is apt at patrolling thots however

Is the original Bulgari Aqua strong enough to be worn in the mild winter we're having (rather wet and with temps in double digits celcius so far) or am I better off using Spicebomb?

Opinions, ratings on my winter rotation/top 12 for 2018-19.

>>13935753
Some good stuff there, you have a favourite?

>>13935753
opinion on sartorial? Whats it like?

Also wich AdP is that?

thanks

>>13935750
I’d say Snicebomb is a safer bet. Aquatics tend not to do too well even in milder winters.

>>13935769

Three way split between DHI, Floriental and Amber Absolute it's a rotation between the three really which I like most. Few more I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on too like MDCI Chypre Palatin, L'Air du Desert Marocain and CdG Incense: Zagorsk

>>13935782

Colonia Ambra, defo my favourite out of the AdP Colonia Concentree range, I like Leather, Oud and Sandalo too though. Might buy the latter but I think it's just a bit too similar to Tam Dao EDP to be worth the price.

>>13935753
Thoughts on Noir De Noir? That rose just doesn’t suit me at all, but it’s such a nice smell.

What's the most nigger fragrance? Need something gigganigga type.

>>13935830
Cocoa butter.

>>13935820

I don't really like rose as a note and NdN is the only fragrance I own with a prominent rose note but it grew on me after wearing it a few times as a sample. It does give it a feminine slant but the rich, dark, almost chocolatey smell that balances it out just enough to make it right for quieter evening wear and more intimate settings. You just have to be mindful what occasion you wear it for to make it work. I think the key is in it's balance, Cafe Rose was similar but it just smelt too light and watery to work as the darker side dies off quickly whereas NdN pulls it off.

>>13935830
eros flame

>>13935801
Yeah i like sandalo very much as well.Have you tried quercia, its badly rated but my favourite for some reason. Excuses for repeating the question but what are your thoughts about sartorial?

Thanks

>>13935797
>Snicebomb
Lauged loud. The airplane complement anon and hist autistic rage was the snicest thing that happened in /frag/ threads this year.

>>13935853

Sartorial is great, it's one of the best formal leaning daytime winter/autumn fragrances I've tried to date. I rotate it with GIT wearing that for spring/summer and Sartorial for autumn/winter. It's warm but dry, spicy and rich without being either loud or sweet has a natural smell despite so many and so many synthetic notes. I never thought I'd like a prominent beeswax note in a fragrance but it somehow it works really well as an alternative to going down the path of either a boozy or sweet smelling cold weather fragrance. I'm quite a big fan of Bertrand Duchaufour's work though so it was always likely to go down well with me.

I thought Quercia was quite good but just not really good enough to be a buy as with Leather where there's better alternatives for less, despite it being a good fragrance. Ebano is the only one in the range I really didn't like, I've tried others with prominent ebony notes that worked, but that one just didn't.

>>13935849
Thanks. Sadly I don’t think I’ll ever justify a full bottle, but I might get a sample for a wedding I’m Best Man at next year. I really enjoy it, but like I said, it’s not suited to my style.

Ok guys, someone’s gotta do it... I’mma take one for the team and preorder Jerememe’s fragrance.

Where the fuck do I order, or can I not order yet?

>>13935877
Thank you lad.

You are a natural salesman, you give a very inviting description of fragrances.

>>13929779
Just got an 8 sample set from Imaginary Authors, chose to get a city on fire, an air of despair, cape heartache, every storm a serenade, falling into the sea, memoirs of a trespasser, yesterday haze, and the soft lawn. How do you guys like their fragrances?

if you were a cashier at a grocery store, what frag would you wear?

>>13935935
Molecule 01, or something similarly inoffensive. I'd hate to give a cunt another reason to speak to my manager.

>>13935935
Ten sprays of Tuscan Leather

>>13935913
I think you have to sign up for his kickstarter to preorder

>>13929779
Sylvaine Delacourte has a sale one, you can get samples of all 10 fragrances for $8.

>>13935950
In his videos he was showing what looked like a 30 or 50ml bottle that was going to hold the juice.

>>13935934
I tried Yesterday’s Haze by Imaginary Authors. I bought it mainly for the cream note but I didn’t get much of that. It was mostly just a sweet fig and not much change over time. It was ok, maybe better on a woman but even then it’s not great.

I also tried Saint Julep, it was disappointing, too linear. There was an initial blast of sweetness but after that, it was just minty for a few hours.

I tried Every Storm a Serenade by imaginary authors and I was similarly disappointed. It smelled very similar to Saint Julep, it must be the Ambergris they have in common although I’m not really sure.

>>13935934
Never had a chance to try them, been thinking about ordering this set though, let us know your opinions anon.

>>13935943

>>13935964
Thank you, ordered 100 ml of vahina.

>>13935977
Too bad that you weren't a fan. Thanks for the post though.
>>13935978
I'll make sure to.

Asked once but I'll ask again, a bottle of Pure Havane or two 10ml decants of PdM Herod?

>>13935983
>Too bad that you weren't a fan. Thanks for the post though.

Yeah, I was disappointed. From the note breakdowns they all sounded great but what I tried just wasn't to my taste. I'll probably sample the rest eventually though.

So strong nocunt comes near me. Easy day.

Never used fragrance, but I heard a lot about Chanel Bleu. Is it any good?

>>13936036
It’s one of the safest, most easy to wear fragrances around.

>>13936036
No, fragrances are meme. Just use soap to stay healthy.

>friend argued with me that colognes can be separated into scents worn to a date or after they gym

I don’t mean to be a pretentious /fa/ggot against my own friend but like christ on a bike how can you say something like that with a straight face

>>13936071
There is an unlimited number of typifications you can separate scents into. So yeah, he's right.

>>13936071
Idk, that seems pretty reasonable. Most people don't have a large set of strata to which they assign colognes. I usually just split mine into close encounters, school, and dates. Do you not categorize your fragrances?

>>13936081
>>13936093
Fair points, i’m just trying to judge whether he was implying that “date night” and “post-gym” where the only classifications for frags, which was kinda the vibe he was giving. I normally separate mine by season or temperature

>>13936104
Just sounds like your run of the mill normie to me desu. Be happy his categories extend beyond 'paco rabanne one million'

>>13936036
I'll give you the basic gestalt. Do people bash the fuck out of it? Yes. Is it warranted? No. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth the price? In my opinion, yes. Is it quality? Yes. It's safe and pleasant. The EDP is the best of the 3 currently. It's smooth, dark, a bit spicy and classy. Don't listen to people who say it's "another generic blue fragrance". It's not. It's a quality fragrance that has good performance without announcing your presence.

>>13935934
You tell us

>>13935955
Be careful with applying Bogart, it's truly powerhouse'y. Tell us how you like them. Which is a nice change having in mind all these recent designer scents that are gone after 3h.

>>13936133
Is it gone after 3h? Yes. Can you smell it not sniffing someone's neck? No.

>>13936259
I will once I get it in the mail.

what's your go to fragrance when it's time to hit up the local shithole dive bar?

>>13936346
CH Men Prive or Oud Wood

Maybe Spicebomb Extreme

>>13936346
Axe/Lynx has better bottles than this shit. I refuse buying any Mugler thanks to the repulsive design

>>13936350
We call it Snicebomb here, oke?

>>13936353
Sorry, I’ll adjust my autocorrect. Snicebomb.

Recently got a sample of dior homme parfum and I love it, but it almost smells too seductive or feminine...or am I crazy?

>>13936365
No, you are just a closet gay.

>>13936093
Jokes on him, I never have dates or go to the gym.

are they a meme or not? I want to try their kilian clone

S A U V A G E

I'd like a new work scent for when I'm done with the work appropriate samples I'm burning through.
Would Habit Rouge or Vetiver be out of place on a guy who looks like he's in his early twenties?
Since I'm a waiterfag as of current I don't want anything too heavy so I was thinking of the two mentioned previously, or something like Boss Bottled or even YSL L'homme...

>>13936728
Have you considered Grey Vetiver? To me it’s the cleanest Vetiver I’ve tried and doesn’t burn your nostrils at all.

>>13934085

Rocky Mountain Wood

>>13936728
>would 60 years old fragrances will be out of place on 20s zoomer while working in a mcdonalds?

No, not at all, be urself

Which should I blind buy: Guerlain Heritage or Vetiver?

I ordered the discoveries boxes. Seems interesting, thanks for letting us know!

>>13935964

On fragrantica the scents are listed as unisex, but majority of reviewers are women. Could you recommend some of their scents to check out which are more on the manly side?

>>13935753

pretty mediocre sickly sweet synthetic meme, anon should invest in a split of a tobacco vanille flacon

>>13934891
panty dropper my man.

>>13935753
You are a guy? Floriental is such a feminine scent

>>13935801
Ambra is great but a little austere. Do you layer it with something? I was thinking of mixing it with some patchouli frag to try my attempt at recreating YSL Tuxedo that the hooker anon recommended.
AdP Leather smells literally like a newly produced leather purse, it's just too much. AdP Oud is too soapy for my tastes. I like AdP Ebony but again, I'd need to layer it with something (some berrys or vanilla could lighten the scent).

>>13936969
Ah, right and AdP Sandalo is so unremarkable that I even have forgotten to mention it. These are all scents in this series I guess.

>>13936959

Yeah, I don't think it's that feminine though, I'd say it's more a evenly balanced unisex. The sharp pepper note, vetiver and dry incense do enough to make it balanced rather than feminine. I prefer it to TF Plum Japonaise which I don't think had anything balancing it out and just smelled like a feminine fragrance, the oud did a bit but it took too long to come out and the first two to three hours on that felt like wearing a womens fragrance whereas Floriental balances out from the start.

What’s a good scent to wear for a casual date? Like, if you’re just gonna grab a snice of pizza or something?

>>13936923
he asked for something that does not cost 126 but didn't say anything about 250

Posted some impressions in a thread or two ago. I understand why people call them amateur and hate on them, but simultaneously want to try more out of curiosity.

So months and months ago I lurked because I wanted to meet my LDR girlfriend overseas and wanted to smell good. It paid off.

G*d bless you /fa/ggots

>>13937139
What did you buy?

>>13937151
Valentino Oumo Intense and Al Haramain L'Aventure

The bootleg aventus has gotten me compliments from coworkers but me and my gf like the Valentino more. The Valentino works fucking wonders when it's cold out. God it's so good. The reason I got it was because it was more easily available than DHI.

I'm gonna start trying different stuff now though.

>>13937159
Fucking pleb. Hope she dumps you.

>>13937139
Snice job! Glad everything worked out for you, bro!

>>13936858
One is sharp and soapy. The other is woody and spicy.

Pick based on that. Both smell pretty old, but they’re nice and can be pulled off if you have some testosterone

Hated sauvage every time I smelled it in store. Finally picked up a sample and have been wearing for a week. I think I’m starting to like it. Do I smell like axe brehs?

What was your first EDP? I have three frags and all three are woody oriental EDTs

>>13937191
It smells better in the air than it does when you intentionally smell it. I prefer EDT though.
