Going to buy some niche frag samples with my work money soon. I like the concept of Lyric Man since the citrus and rose would suit me and my dress style casually, even if it might be a bit feminine.
What others should I try out?

i broke a full bottle of paco rabanne 1 million yesterday

>>14050443
Buy something better for replace

ARABIAN OILS > """"ORIGINAL"""" DESIGNER/NICHE FRAGS

Difficult to say without a bit more specification. What kind of thing are you looking for.

>>14050458
>>14050460
Keep paying 100x more money for frags that are inferior to the oil version in both scent and performance! Must take some weapons grade coping to make yourself feel good about owning thousands of dollars in sham frags!

>>14050471
I guess something that's more "out there" than the typical mass appealing designer frags. Not to say I wouldn't try stuff like SMW, but wearing a niche to a minimum wage job is a bit silly.
I do like oud, so long as its mixed nicely with other notes.... A little sceptical on testing Le Labo given all the reviews about bacon and pickle juice on Fragrantica however

>wear Parfums De Marly Layton to work
no one says a thing
>wear Guess Seductive that I got from Ross for $20
"what cologne are you wearing, it smells good"

Nothing lost in value. Refugee tier fragrance.

t. wears fake Yeezys

>>14050524
If the fake Yeezys were higher quality than real Yeezys, AND costed 1/10 the money, then you bet your ass I'd wear them!

>>14050479
>more "out there"

Have a look at Zoologist and Etat Libre D'orange. They both offer sample kits for a reasonable price too.

>>14050379
What scents are worth trying from Histoires de Parfum?

Twisted Lily has most of them, but I don’t want to sniff each individual bottle

>>14050533
Except your oils are comparable to the quality of fake Yeezys. Straight up delusional oil posters are cancerous.

Is Guerlain Homme EDP a good choice of frag for dinners out with friends or family? Is it cloying in the summer with the mojito smell?

>>14050558
I dare you to buy an oil impression of your best frag and honestly say you can tell the difference. I have done many side by side comparisons between Arabian oils and the "real" versions, and myself and others always prefer the oils! The quality is much higher, you just don't have to pay for the name of whatever designer is jacking up the price.

>>14050542
Only tried 1725 and 1740 and really couldn't recommend either of them as a blind buy. 1725 is nice but a bit cloying and 1740 is a pretty boozy dark smell.

>>14050572

What is the best Le Labo fragrance to get as my first (going into spring/summer)?

What are you wearing today lads?

>>14050629
Nothing today but the other day I word 4 sprays of Tuscan Leather and got on the bus. Girl behind me coughed. Chad miasma in full.effect guys.

>>14050629

I'm not going anywhere today and I don't wear any frags if I'm staying home all day

>>14050608
I wouldn’t bother with Le Labo, 2bh. Extremely overpriced for what you get. Pretty much hipster bait. Slumberhouse does the “natural” scent thing better and for less money, though their stuff is hard to get since it’s always sold out and Josh Lobb is a flake who makes more pretty much whenever he feels like it.

>>14050629
Black Phantom.

On a related note, I spent most of the weekend with that girl, Rachel from my sister’s wedding. Turns out she is Armenian, not Jewish. Did a lot of the ol’ Netflix and chill. She seems to love Black Phantom, though I kinda suspect she’d have complimented basically anything I was wearing.

Dunno if I’m gonna bother to keep seeing her, she’s kinda vapid and boring, and she wasn’t amazing at the sex. Not awful, but obviously I’m used to a higher standard of fucking. Plus, I’ve been flirting with the qt caterer a lot on messenger, and she’s more my type anyway. Also have a booking with an escort Thursday evening. Got too much going on to bother tying myself to a girl I don’t like that much.

>>14050629
L'eau D'Issey

Is Intense worth getting? I basically just want a Yuzu frag that lasts longer

>>14050379
What do you think about Oud Minerale? Is the salty note that intense?

>>14050629
I still think she looks snicer with long hair.

>>14050443

Holy fuck the smell must have been horrific.

>>14050542

1828.

Never thought I'd like a fragrance with a strong eucalyptus note but somehow with the nutmeg and light spices it works really well. Has this rich but smooth and light smell that lingers and projects surprisingly well. Easily one of the best barbershop fragrances around at the moment.

>>14050443
Nothing of value was lost, pleb

>>14050443
I see no liquid. I feel that was an empty bottle and we have been rused.

>>14050564
Under appreciated fragrance. It wasn’t cloying at all for me

>>14050629
A*men pure leather

>>14050629
Wonderwood. Its been a while. Nice and snowy day, pretty comfy.

>>14050707
Thats the best time to appreciate a fragrance.

is there any other fragrance you can recommend? I'm a pleb and like the smell of Dior Sauvage and Creed aventus

>>14050935
Don’t fall down the rabbit hole. Just stick with Sauvage an don’t overthink it

>>14050629
Dylan Blue

>>14050935
Just go to your local department store and test some frags out, find what else you like.

>>14050909
Guess i'l grab a decant and see how much I like it then :)

How prominent is the whiskey in Tobacco Oud? Does it blend with the other notes well?

>>14050443
A good thing has happened then

>>14050949
Homme Intense is what I had. I can’t speak to the regular homme, but I imagine they’re they same.

>>14050443
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Pajeets suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

>>14050629
YSL L' Homme

What perfume would he wear?

>>14051053

Acqua di Gio or Polo Green, classic 90s yuppiecore.

But you do actually see his frag choices if you pause the scene he's having a shower and describing his morning routine.

>>14050443
Time to deep clean your house

>>14051086
You never know, he might enjoy his house smelling of a Hugo Boss athleisure section.

>>14050443
You know, you can replace that with an incredibly good arab oil for a fraction of the cost. No sweat!

Hey guys should I buy actual JXXV or an Arab oil version? Hearing a lot about these lately and thinking about pulling the trigger.

>>14051123
Actually I got a sample of Jubilation yesterday and I like it. Will compare to original on weekend at Neimus

>>14051155
Awesome, can you recommend any other good oils? These things are so cheap I might as well buy a bunch! :)

>>14051155
>buys clone oil
>doesn't have experience with the real one
>thinks he can compare them by doing a quick sniff at a department store
Please dont.

>>14051172
100% chance this arab oil fag is a Pajeet. Maybe an Arab or Paki. Something brown.

Fuck yeah! Just got my invoice from Slumberhouse for the new Sadanne batch!

>>14051043
I really like this but is it a retarded cop in the middle of winter? Wanna use it as my daily for a lax office

>Paki larping as being in any uni better than Leeds Met

FTY.

>>14051172
Sorry but only noselets are unable to judge frags upon first whiff. If you need several full wearing to get the impression of a fragrance then you should just give up and find a new hobby. This also goes for discerning the scent based on notes. Yes, I have not smelled JXXV in person, but I can tell by the note breakdown that my oil impression is spot on. Sorry that you're such a pleb you can't do this.

>>14050947
>>14050943
I just want to expand my small collection

>>14051327
Dylan Blue and BDC for Sauvage like frags that would lead you to citrusy scents you can try.
For Aventus, maybe try Pure Havane for cherry tobacco, or Guerlain L'Instant EDP for a smoky cacao scent if you like the fruity smokiness of Aventus more than you do Sauvage

>>14050935
>>14051327
thats not enough information to go on. try some other pleb frags i guess

>>14051242
Nah, it works year round

>>14051264

I can only imagine how it must hurt someone going to a third tier school to read that. Now that your sole racial premise is in pieces, do you have anything else to bring to the discussion dummy? Not that I expect much from you, but try to surprise me. Gonna wear APO's Black Afgano this weekend to a club you can have a glimpse into only through Guardian headlines.

>>14051295
This must be the most pathetic attempt at bait I have ever seen. You know that Billy Madison webm where he goes everyone in this room is now dumber etc... Yeah that's you. Imagine some guy smelling like some shitty Jubilation dupe typing this out thinking it would be funny or make any sense. I felt shivers down my back reading your post, I feel like I finally understood cringe posters. Jesus christ I'm going to bed.

Alright so I got my santal 33 sample to see if you guys weer right about it being a meme and it smells exactly like a shitty shoe store chain from around where I live, are any of the other santal frags worth sampling or are they all memes?

>>14051255
>>14051354
Funny, your sentence structure is rather odd for a native English speaker. Pretty sure you’re just a larping brownie.

>>14051359
>"pathetic attempt at bait"
>takes it hook, line, and sinker

>>14050438
You're better off buying something like sauvage, niche smells like shit mostly.

I’ve got a low level job at Ralph Lauren and one of the perks is 50 percent the whole online store. Thought It’s worth buying a fragrance from them seeing as it’s so cheap.
Question is what’s better Polo red or Blue EDT

>>14051053

You can see YSL pour homme in his cabinet

Where do I cop arab oils? Since they're so popular now I think it goes without saying their info should be added to the OP next thread.

>>14051648
They’re not popular, it’s just one sperg and a couple dipshits b8ing people.

I'm a 20 year old beefcake jock; hook me up with a panty dropper cologne.

>>14051053
Kouros

Is there a more perfect clean and youthful, white office shirt fragrance than this?

>>14051633
Polo Blue EdP is far superior to Blue EdT.

>>14051700
LES DIEUX VIVANTS ONT LEUR PARFUM

>>14051833
Can’t get that on the UK website unfortunately.

>>14051053

Fun Fact: The first fragrance I ever bought was Drakkar Noir because I read somewhere that Bateman wore it when clubbing.

>>14051646
He's got Pour Homme shower wash, but I cant make out any of these bottles except the red Pour Homme at the top. Anyone got a zoom and enhance?

>>14051862
Looks like it could be a Caron on the bottom shelf with the green bottle
>>14051849
That passage said one of his coworkers was wearing it when they went out and he hated it IIRC

Pic related arrived today. It's hard to describe but I like it. Sweet amberwood bubblegum? Perfectly happy blind buy.
Parfums Vintage have three new scents out today - Sandal Amber, Imbue, and Cacophony. Not sure what they're meant to be clones of, but I'm tempted to cop that Sandal Amber based on the notes and the strength of the house.

Hey guys I'm new to frags. How good is the arab oil version of aventus? What is the best place to buy arab oils?

>>14051412
santal is a god tier note. try tam dao.

>>14051412
Molecule 04 is genuinely great.

>>14051994
Bump for this. W2c Arabian oils? Wanna get in on this craze before they jack up prices. Also rec oils to buy!

>>14051992
They are cloning Tom Ford Amber Absolute, Chanel Coromandel, and Gucci Pour Homme II.

>>14051525
Not surprised but disappointed: you don't have to be British to be white dumbo :^)

>>14051862
Most of his stuff was from l’occitane

>>14050742
L'eau D'Issey Intense is worth getting in that it's nice, especially in the drydown, and cheap. It's fairly different to the original and while Intense performs better in my experience, you'll probably be disappointed if you're expecting it to do yuzu quite like the original. Still similar enough to be worth giving it a shot if you like the original though.

>>14052097
Arabian perfume oils .com

Update: I now have 250ml of Chloe Narcisse, plus a 200ml lotion.

Reckon these should last a few years.

>>14050742
Theres a yuzu flanker.
Just ordered a sample of Gallavant Tokyo with yuzu on top.

What up anons, I'm going on a ball next month and I want to wear something special, since I'm going with my gf and want us both to enjoy the evening.
Never dabbled in niche, only in "niche-quality designers" and I wanted to try out Interlude man, I'm thinking of ordering a 2ml decant and wearing it there. Is it a good idea anons? Or is there something better I could do?

>>14051869

Yep, definitely pour un homme

>>14052596
Depends, it's pretty potent stuff, you might find it too strong, Amouage Jubilation 25 is similar but not as strong. Other than that you could look at Roja or even Parfums de Marly and Tom Ford if you want something a bit more crowd pleasing.

>>14052117
>Coromandel
Ah, the note list makes sense now. Hopefully the PV performs like the old version.

>>14052596
Absolutely DO NOT do Interlude. Incredibly potent and polarizing scent.

Try PDM - Layton, Herod, Carlisle, or Oajan.

As another anon said, if you want to stay with Amouage, try Jub XXV OR Reflection Man. Most anything else from the house will be polarizing for the average joe.

You could also try Grand Soir by MFK

>>14052596
These are good recs but buy the arab oil versions instead. Trust me they're even better than the originals and will save you tons of cash.

Why is an anon shilling terrorist oils here constantly?

>>14053028
Cause this website is for autistic retards and once a little sperg has it in his mind that he's creating a DANK new meme he won't stop until his donkey brain recalibrates to something else.

>>14053036
Tough but fair.

Is there anything like Kouros with the musk and soapiness, but the civet replaced with something like lemon?

>>14053180
Prada Amber has a similar retro soap smell and (non animalic) heavy muskiness, but it’s missing the incense and ambergris that makes Kouros so good.

>>14053180
I got my arabian oil dupe of kouros last week, so much nicer than the real thing BECAUSE the civet is much less prominent. I would give it a try if I were you, at worst you lose a couple bucks uwu

>>14052962
This. No one will be impressed by your elevated taste by wearing interlude or something like it.

>>14052596
Fille en Aiguille, Ambre Sultan, Rocabar, Gris Montaigne/Dior, Bois d'Argent, Richwood are my picks.

what frag would he wear?

>>14053036
ok yeah but did you know designer is better than niche?

>>14053471
>not buying Arabian oil clones of designers

It’s like you want to waste your money lmao

Ok you guys have convinced me. I'm ready to take the arab oil-pill. Which frags do I order? Currently have CDNIM, Ultra Male, Montblanc Individual, TdH, Cool Water, and Eros.

>>14050935
bond #9 peace
or
prada carbon

>>14053443
for some reason i see him wearing fahrenheit

Honest opinions on

>>14053500
Arab oil versions of the frags you have to compare and be blown away at how much better you smell and how much money you save!

>>14053523
Why do I envisage the "pathetic" meme from this pic?

good to see other anons have taken the arab oil pill. will be ordering sum next month. I hear that ambre sultan, amber absolute, neroli portefino forte, black afgano are rly good from APO so ima get those. would like to add some summery oil too but dont know what besides NPF

>>14053443
>>14053516
Definitely Fahrenheit

Why am I feeling like arab oils is the new sneed

Are Calvin Klein frags worth the bother of blind buying at the discount prices I see them at? Stuff like Obsession, Reveal and Euphoria gold seem decent if I can grab them at around the £25 mark for a 100ml

>>14053596
obsession is still one of my favorite winter frags.

Are there any youtubers who review arab oils?

I am not gonna miss this Arab Oil forced meme when it finally fizzles out, not gonna lie.

>>14050443
Buy this instead. Same projection and longevity, but the sweetness smells like coffee and chocolate instead of bubblegum and body odor

>>14053647
Kys pedo

>>14053596
Obsession smells like old people, mostly because old people wear it. CK one shock is worth a blind buy if you can get it cheap. Longevity sucks but you can afford to reapply given that it’s usually under 20 USD. It’s a decent tobacco scent with a slight Coca Cola sweetness. Kind of like a toned down version of Armani Code Profumo

>>14053720
This has replaced DH The One EDP as my cold weather dumb reach. Kind of reminds me of La Nuit De L’Homme with better performance.

Sorry, it isn't a meme.

What scents do females like on a man?

>>14053783
It’s not new, Arab oils have been around forever, we’ve known about them forever, there have been Arabs/Pajeets making cheap knockoffs for years. We know about them. The reason we don’t buy them is because they’re shit. I’ve tried some oils from various sources, I’ve tried cheap knockoffs, they’re never anywhere near as good as the real thing. Anyone who says otherwise is just coping or has no idea what the originals smell like.

FACT.

What are the main things seperating Chanel Allure, Allure sport, sport eau extreme, and blanche?
I'm on the edge about getting it as a allrounder/spring fragerence

>>14053931
By "new" I meant "not popular itt until recently" and you know it, don't play stupid you cunt. Your "fact" is also subjective and since you're an asshole I don't give it much merit.

>>14053977
Its not popular now, and it isn’t new information. It’s just you and a couple other people memeing. You don’t even know what the originals smell like, you’ve admitted you go entirely off of the note breakdowns online. You are disseminating bad information, and I’m pretty sure you’re an idiot.

>>14053896
10 sprays of kouros

What's the consensus on MMM frags? The bottles look cool but I feel that stuff like At the Barbers and Jazz Club would be very situational frags for me

>>14054057
The openings are great but after that some are just way too sweet for me. According to some anons here performance is also garbage, but when I tried some they lasted about 7 hours

>>14053975
Sephora usually has the full line just smell them there. They all smell different

>>14053896
Unironically mass appealing scents like Sauvage.
I’ve been to lots of fragrance departments and the female workers always rave about it

>>14054008
Alright so Fahrenheit?

>>14054057
I found Jazz Club more versatile than it sounds like, fwiw

I'm laughing at how triggered this anon attempting at le trolling with le ironic recos of oils got at some little innocuous eastern fluids.

>>14054202
I'm laffing more at the cringy fags arguing with him. it's honestly embarrassing.

>>14053596

Euphoria smells pretty good actually. Very safe and mass market appealing but good nonetheless. For me the problem is longevity, at least the tester I had, the longevity was like an hour and then the scent was completely gone,

>>14050666
Smells like BO

>>14054057
I dig basically everything I’ve smelled from them. I think Jazz Club is one of the more wearable frags from the line, but By The Fireplace is my favorite. They’re all pretty bold, but if you want something more versatile, there’s no reason to pay $126 dollars for this when you can get Sauvage or Acqua di Gio or something on fragrancenet for half the price.

Shut your whore mouth about Arab oils. Have you ever smelled an Arab? Is that something you really want to replicate?

>>14054057
They're mediocre, overpriced and much safer than they sound on paper. Don't get tricked by marketing, anon!

>>14054287
Are arab oils made with 100% real arabs? Or is it like 60% arab and 40% polyester or something.

>>14054287
I think you don't get it. But we already realised that oils dupes hater go to nontarget schools, so I don't blame you

>>14054287
If Arabs smell like higher-quality replicates of niche and designer frags then yes, I'd like to smell like one. Do you like smelling like a good goyim with your price inflated edt/edp dummy?

Funny, I was wearing Kouros for a whole week and then I wore 3 sprays of my 2016 Fahrenheit another day. Kouros is way stronger, in comparison I could barely even smell the Fahrenheit after spraying it on. The longevity is still around 12+ hours, but it's just not nearly as potent or as much of a sillage beast as Kouros recent formulation is. I've heard newer Fahrenheit (2018+) is beastly, can anybody confirm?

>>14054184
Fahrenheit is garbage

Anyone know if arab oil dupe of Fahrenheit exists/is any good?

Why are perfume ladies so aggressive, bros?

Wait I meant Francois Demachy

>>14054674
Macy's always pushes YSL frags hard when I go there

>>14054658
>Viking smells like drakkar noir. Prove. Me. Wrong.
Drakkar Noir smells like Viking you mean. Viking is so named because it was brought to London from the East by Norse traders through the rivers of what became Russia and the Baltic sea, where it was sold by the Creed family to the royalty and nobility of the Heptarchy.

>tfw Demi will never ask you for your scent of the day

fucking end me now bros

>>14054658
I own both. There are similarities, but I find them quite different. Viking is a bit sweeter and on my skin, the main notes that come out are the cinnamon and mint, whereas DN has more woody/green notes. DN smells like one of those little tree air fresheners to me. Viking smells more like cinnamon-mint gum.

>>14054466

Are fougeres an outdated meme or is it still possible to pull off paco pour homme, le male and azzaro pour homme or not?

>>14054783

They're the way to go brother

>>14054783
Azzaro pH is solid, especially given its crazy low price on fragnet.

Top 5 meme fragrances atm
gonna use them on a office environment, casual reunions and more formal dinners

>>14054823
invasian barbare begs to differ

>>14054978
Just buy Bleu de Chanel EdP

How do young people react to the smell of Eau Sauvage?

>>14054958
I picked up Azzarro PH Intense from Ross a few months ago and it's reeeeeeeal snice. Still has the barbershop vibe with some cinnamon and spices. One of my most worn this past fall. Hidden gem.

Alright, I've determined that "jeremy" refer to a puffy haired man who makes youtube videos.
About fucking "Sauvage," not "Eau Sauvage."

I'm starting to think the similarity of names has ruined Eau Sauvage. It's like trying to say "I like coffee" and people hearing, "Oh, you like Kophy®? Do you prefer strawberry or banana flavour?"

>>14055555
Digits confirm, Azzaro Wanted by Night is very good. The original Wanted is underrated as well. Wore it yesterday and it projected for well over ten hours. Youthful but not immature.

>>14055404
I’ve used them a few times. Always hot my shipment in relatively good time, and in the one case where there were delays on their end, the sent me some extra stuff and emailed me to inform me of the delays and apologize. Very good customer service, I’d recommend them.

>>14054184
Smells like petroleum and lemon pledge. It seems out of place to be wearing it now. It’s has the same effect as old albums in that a lot of the people who rave about it now, only do so because the internet told them it was a classic. They would have hated it if it actually came out during their time.

>>14054674
Macy’s is the goddamn worst. You can’t even sniff a single fragrance without being surrounded by desperate sales people.
I feel like people should know this is bad business practice in 2019

Smells like your grandpa or a pediphile to young people. Not a good wear in this day and age

>>14055954
So what's a kino scent for the modern man?

>>14055981
I don’t even know if one exists or ever existed.

I do know that in 20 years, 20 year olds who think they have elevated taste will be on eBay looking for vintage Sauvage and claiming it’s a masterpiece in the same way people who didn’t grow up with Fahrenheit do now.

>>14055990
Alright nigga idgaf about that shit just give me a good scent that makes the pussy wet

I start work again in March if I can't find a job with better pay and conditions than the seasonal one I have.
What frag should I buy with my first paycheck?

>>14055993
Imma level with you, nigga. There is no scent that will make you, specifically, attractive to women. This is because you are ugly and have poor social skills.

>Pisspants too scared to namedrop frags anonymously

I'm looking for something barbershoppy (but distinguished) that I can put on in the morning and still smell as a skin scent by night.

Do any colognes qualify, or do I need to go for an EDT or even EDP?

>>14056234
Try Histoire de Parfums 1725

YSL la collection Rive Gauche

Is Allure Homme Edition Blanche blind buy worthy? The vanilla, lemon and sandalwood combo sounds perfect for me

>>14056234
Creed Viking
MMM At a the Barber's
Penhaligon's Sartorial
Drakkar Noir

Also, it's useless to assume all edp and edt are the same. As it's been said a million times here, some edt perform better than edp, same with edc. There's no sense in lumping them all together like there's some kind of standard each type adheres to. It's actually a pretty retarded, pleb thing to ask m8.

I would love to have some powdery gourmand. Is there anything good like dat for men? (not that this si is powdery)

Some kids said I smell like grandpa this morning in bus. I was wearing Ideal EDP. Hurt.

>>14054287
Arabs smell like oud mostly. Oud is the thing there. Dupe oils are just dupes not oud frags.
Also generally 'oils' is misleading word in dupe biz cuz ppl think arab oils as traditional oriental frags.

>>14054466
2018 is not beastly. Smell is closer to original but projection still sucks

>>14054546
Not good I hear. Mostly dupes only do niche properly I hear.

>>14055367
based. Cafe rose, rouge 540, intense cafe, wild pears, reflection and straight to heaven supposed to be good from what i gather. remember to review here.

>>14055954
No actually it smells very complex. Drydown with violets is to die for

>>14055981
Dior homme Intense

>>14056493
They're retarded because Ideal EDP smells like modern sweet syrupy frags like Herod, etc. They just think anything besides Adidas or Axe smells like old man. You don't want to impress fags like them anyway.

>>14056581
T-thank you anon

This is a miracle of a fragrance

>>14055050
moi. also copped L'Eau Boisée for my birthday next week cause I'm goin on vacaaaaation

>>14056451
It smells like Le Male

>>14056505
it's not a beastly as vintage, but you're crazy to say it doesn't project. the current formulation is too much for me, I couldn't imagine wearing vintage. too insecure.

Anybody tried any Louis Cardin fragrances? Seen them shipped about a bit recently and wondering if there's any substance to it or just marketing.

>>14056628
it's too sweet. waaaaaay too sweet. my favorite from the prive line are patchouli imperial and ambre nuit. ambre nuit is in my top 3. one of the few frags that I never get tired of smelling.

>>14056483
Idk what Si smells like but I feel obligated to suggest dior homme, assuming you havent already tried it. Some powder from the iris and some sweetness from the cacao.

Royal Oud might be worth mentioning also. Its neither powdery nor gourmand, but the classic head and sweet base might fit the bill.

>>14056724
>>14056575
Im going to second these. I might break out the sample tomorrow.

>>14056567
Not op but I just got my package from APO. Interlude is fucking goat. Don't know how the original smells like, but I can't stop sniffing my wrists. Wondering if someone is interested in reviews if fragrantica forum does this quite well

What's the best, rosiest fragrance?

Might add Kryptomint to my summer rotation and also to my evening out scents. That or Guerlain Homme.
If I could only have one bottle of either, what would it be and why? Going to sample both but I'd like to hear /frag/s opinion.

>>14056825
Based. Let’s here about it.

I am really tempted to buy a bottle of Roja Elysium Parfum Pour Homme, should I? I like the sample I got of it but I have read mixed reviews of projection and longevity.

>>14056929
I own it. The Parfum (not the parfum cologne) has great performance, at least on my skin. Longest lasting citrusy fragrance I’ve ever tried. Lasts at least 10 hours on me, and the projection is more than sufficient. It’s not meant to be a beastmode powerhouse scent, it’s supposed to be lighter. I have absolutely no complaints about it.

>>14057003
Thank you very much, I just bought it.

>>14056825
Please give as many reviews as u can.

>>14056825
U stole that pic from earlier anon...?

>>14057013
It is very snice stuff. Probably my favorite summer scent, though it’s strong enough to be worn year-round in my opinion. To me, it’s the best fragrance in its class. Makes BDC obsolete.

>>14057043
It will be my only "summer" scent as TF NP has no longevity and I dont like the intense version.

Did I like this?

I'm getting this tomorrow. Honestly quite hyped to give it a try.

I have the Parfums Vintage version coming in the mail. I expect very good things from it.

>>14056731
Disagree personally. But I do love Ambre Nuit and Patchouli Imperial. Dior Prive is one of the greatest fragrance lines ever.

Best fragrance for subzero weather?

You fuckin retard, how much are you paying for those tiny ass vials? Your big gimmick is how cheap sandnigger oils are but is it really cheaper per ml when you get this amount?

she seemed really impressed, but I'm secretly a noselet and found this bottle by chance, mostly empty
I'm going to buy a new bottle because I really like it too, but what other scents should I get to start a rotation?

the only other perfume I remember liking was the YSL opium an ex used to wear so I'll get that too

I'm male but I strongly dislike the 'fresh' and 'aqua' scented perfumes marketed at men

Tom Ford Amber Absolu

>>14056731
ambre nuit is god tier
just wish it had better sillage, sits really close on my skin.

>>14057432
interesting, amber absolu is on my list to try

This might sound retarded but I don't use cologne a lot and when I do I feel like the smell doesn't last long. Could it just be that my cologne is shit, or am I not applying enough? (I usually do three sprays). Also, is there a proper way to apply cologne?

>>14057468
Is it actually cologne? or is it an eau de toilett/parfum?
Colognes are low concentration and will rarely last long, but it varies widely by the fragrance, and even by the person wearing it. What is it?

>>14057468
Yes, they come in varying strengths. What are you using?

Standard procedure for me is 1-2 sprays on the chest/torso area and 1-3 sprays on the neck area depending on what I'm wearing. If I'm testing a frag I'll spray on the wrist or inner elbow. With that routine I can squeeze 10-12 hours out of most frags.

What's their best frag?

>>14057541
Depends on what you’re looking for. Something weird and out there for you to wear at home, or something more wearable you can actually go out with?

>>14057552
both
i want to wear something weird when I go out

>>14057429
Try getting a sample of Tom Ford Black Orchid.

>>14057559
Camel

>>14057513
>>14057518
I'm using 'Nautica Blue Eau de Toilette Spray Vaporisateur' I'm sorta new to fragrances, I'm not too sure what that means

>>14057559
Camel is snice, as the anon above said, though it’s not too out there. Kind of a spicy oriental gourmand.

Bat is a dank, earthy, fermented fruit scent. A little sour, fruity, green, and dark. Very interesting stuff.

Moth is an interesting ashy, smokey, animalistic scent.

Elephant is a great green, woody, floral scent with a twist of citrus and coconut milk.

Dragonfly is a green, aquatic, floral scent with some sweetness, and an interesting ozonic vibe.

T Rex is cool if you want to smell like a barbecue pit.

Honestly, I’d just order a sample pack from them and try them all out. They’re all high quality, though many aren’t terribly wearable and they’re certainly not all going to be scents everyone will like.

>>14057600
That means it's an Eau de Toilette concentration, or EDT. Frags come in different strengths
>Aftershave
>eau de cologne, slightly stronger than aftershave
>eau de toilette, most common for men's designer fragrances
>eau de parfum, most common for womens designers and most niche
>parfum/extrait, very strong
>arab oil, do not wear these you will smell like a taxi in syria

These aren't exact, there are EDC that are stronger than EDT, EDT stronger than EDP, etc

>>14057610
>taking a taxi in Syria when you could use an Arabian Uber for half the price

Sure, if you hate money, I guess.

I'm looking for a cologne that smells something like cinnamon/caramel. Any suggestions? I've got a candle of pic related in my room and it smells fucking fantastic, so something similar would be fuckin rad

>>14057600
As a fresh, aquatic scent, it cant be expected to last as long as some heavier fragrances. Where do you spray typically? Straying on your pulse points will help it project off your body. Spraying in the same spot more than once, or applying on top of lotion may help it last longer. If all else fails, reapply.

>>14057636
I usually apply it on the area in between my neck and chest. Thanks for the tips bro I'll try it out next morning

>>14057608
>order a sample pack from them and try them all out
yeah i'll probably end up doing that

>>14057608
Rhino?

They tried to scam me but I got back my ebay bucks

Teenage coworker girl who rates my daily fragrance proclaimed Versace Dylan Blue her favorite to date, over a ton of expensive niche frags. She demanded a second good morning hug because of it.
If you like young girls, Dylan Blue is a strong pick.

>>14057762
>tfw no morning hugs at my job

>>14057696
Basically leather, rum, pine needles, and tar. Not my cup of tea, I find it very harsh, but worth a try.

>>14057768
>getting a morning hug when you could get an Arabian Handshake with way less effort

>>14057847

>>14057636
>Spraying in the same spot more than once may help it last longer.
Wrong.
The projection will be stronger, but the longevity (caused by the single molecules breaking down) will not be affected.

>>14057629

>>14058535
superior arab oil version when?

>>14058623
Calm down, barely anyone claims any superiority here. I'm personally going to be satisfied if my samples will be good on their own, don't really need to be even close to originals or superior to them. I dress minimal myself and avoid any logos as a rule of thumb. Something fits my style? Great, let's buy it. It is cheaper than branded equivalents? Even better. It doesn't have a logo? Don't care. I'm one of cheapfags lurking /frag/ and so far my most of bottles are cheapies from the sticky pastebin. I treat this oil business as a way to expand my possibilities without going over the budget. Don't worry, I won't claim that I'm wearing an original equivalent of someone compliment me. Don't worry.

>>14050379
>>14058687

>>14057629
the terms you want to look for are gourmand and spicy, just look at different note breakdowns and see what you might like. look at the pic at the start of the thread for a good jumping off point for things to sample at department stores. don’t blind buy anything with those smells before you sample them bc they’re hit or miss, and every perfume reacts with each persons skin differently. just buy like a small sample of what appeals to you and wear it for a day before you buy it. i know sephora and i think nordstrom will give you free samples of scents you like
