How do y'all feel rank compliments when considering a new frag? Do they make the frag for you? Is it all for the ladies?

Speaking of women, does anyone know the of the year the batch of La Nuit that fragrancenet is selling?

>>14091013
Compliments only serve to reaffirm my own choice of fragrance. We all like compliments, and I avoid fragrances that may offend, but it's not really a factor in what I choose to wear.

>>14091013
nah, i dont care about compliments. if i get an unsolicited compliment when i walk by somebody i know i've sprayed too much. i like knowing people think i smell good when they hug me or get in my bubble. compliment or not i know i smell good.

Finally I caught one of these threads before it had hella posts.

So i'm a 23 year old dude. pretty clean cut looking but a little alternative/hipster whatever you wanna call it. id describe my style as disheveled chic.
i feel like a fragrance should match one's visual aesthetic to some degree but i dont know how to match my disheveled appearance. anyone have any recs for fragrances that give off an idgaf vibe?
think cuffed jeans with tucked in t shirt and a slightly oversized button up unbuttoned with either brown derbies or beat to shit canvas sneakers
was thinking of pic rel but not sure if its too formal/mature

>>14091055
pic related is more or less my style but my clothes are more broken in and i almost always tuck in my shirt. just imagine if this fit but with white canvas sneakers and wasnt wearing all black

>>14091055
I like the OG luna rossa more than carbon

>>14091039
based. everyone should treat perfume in this way.

>>14091055
if your gonna try this hard why not just get memeventus

>>14091085
how do you mean try this hard? im honestly looking for a pretty low key and versatile fragrance. also ive never smelled aventus but i feel like it might be too intense for my purposes
>>14091073
noted ill check it out

What does she smell like bros?

>>14091105
tanning oil and a cheap victorias secret perfume

>>14091105
zoologist hyrax

>>14091055
honestly, if i'm going with a "fuck you" vibe or a mood where i'm feeling slightly edgy, i go with varvatos dark rebel, or dark rebel rider. it's a gorgeous leather with a hint of sweetness. dark rebel smells like a slightly sweet lit cigarette being put out on a leather jacket. also, i layer with head shop patchouli oil to dirty it up even further.

>>14091207
i feel like those frags might be a bit too dark and masculine for me. im pretty extroverted and easygoing rather than rough or mysterious. i think easygoing is a good word to describe the fragrance im looking for. i smelled this frag on this person in an art museum recently and it was very dry but pleasant. reminded me of a morning in a desert. kinda woody? but i liked that a lot and it matched the laidback look of their outfit

>>14091277
hmmm i think i know what you mean. have you tried out any of diptyque's frags? tam dao is a beautiful sandlewood that is pretty playful and easygoing. these are also pretty soft scents so they won't leave a giant trail behind you but will sit around you comfortably so people can smell when they come close to you.

>>14091292
ive been wanting to sample tam dao because reading about it, it seems like it might fit what im looking for. only thing is that it sounds pretty elegant and im kind of a brash person. i like to party a lot and get rowdy. idk man its hard to condense my entire being into one frag but i dont wanna go down the rabbit hole of buying a ton of fragrances for every occasion lol

Where would I go as a /poorfag/ to buy used cologne? I want to buy Spicebomb extreme, but it isn't on discount sites :(

>>14091330
it's not really elegant. diptique frags have a very natural smell to them. very casual, i'd say. what's wrong with a little conflict? so what if you're brash and rough. a scent that clashes a bit with your persoanlity will give off an air of curiosity, no? you dont have to wear something that absolutly fits you, because then you can become ordinary or typical.

>>14091367
That’s actually a really good point. Need to have some conflict to keep people guessing what’s goin on. Thanks dude will def check out tam dao and similar frags

Anyone got they hands his Fragrance already? How's it?

>>14091370
Be careful, that's the exact type of reasoning that led me into a rabbit hole of mass buying trying to find scents to mix things up. It's good advice, but remember, sampling and decants are your and your wallet's friend.

just a heads up, i went to my local chanel boutique today and the sa confirmed that egoiste will only be carried at their boutiques. she said they're also being produced in very low quantities and they only receive around 20 per order that's decided by corporate. another thing i found interesting is that they limit 1 bottle per customer now because apparently spergs would come in and buy 5-6 bottles at a time because they would think it's being discontinued. they had 3 in stock and so i snagged one up. she said it's a classic and chanel acknowledges this and will nor be discontinued any time soon.

What does /fa/ think of Cacharel's Lou Lou?

Is there a difference between these 2?

Or is it just a different bottle

>>14091364
eBay. Just make sure the seller has a very high feedback rating.

Thoughts on this one? Worth a blind buy? Heard it’s similar to Spicebomb and Tobacco Vanille. Are rumors true?

I'm preparing to buy like 30 testers from notino to search for what I will wear now and in the spring, what should I try?

Fragrances that I've liked so far (nothing really amazed me though):
Sauvage (fuck that everyones wearing this meme)
Spicebomb
Lalique White
Prada L'homme
Fahrenheit
Xeyrous Rouge

Help fragrance normie out, thanks

Anyone else go full chad miasma at home?

>>14091039
>>/lgbt/

>>14091527
Not a blind buy for me, it's pretty pungent and has less sweetness than those two. Sample it first if you can.

And

Should give you plenty of ideas.

>>14091638
thanks anon

>>14091635
Thanks. I always sample before buying tho. But is it similar to the frags I mentioned? I kinda want something in that vein but Tom Ford is way too expensive

>>14091687
I just went and grabbed my sample and put on a spray. Honestly I don't get much in the way of similarities to Tobacco Vanille, it lacks depth and has an artificial-ness to it. For me, Mugler Pure Havane is a better alternative in that price range.

>>14091723
Thanks

>>14091726
Bentley For Men Intense is decent too but I got terrible longevity from it.

>>14091371
Comes out in april (fools)

>>14091760
I already sniffed it (work at the factory that produces it)
It smells like balls

>>14091822

>>14091836
I can post pics of the bottle

>>14091856
do it faggot

>>14091588
just a follow up
I'm on ;like 9 or 10 sprays of Encre Noire Sport. Yummo.

>>14091862
Ok. Later

>>14091760
eh

>>14091760
This. You people ask this every thread, and every thread we tell you it doesn’t ship until April.

>>14091822
No you didn’t.

Blind buy time again. What am I in for?

>>14091966
Why would I lie about that ffs? I didn’t know that it’s such a great fucking deal to sniff a fragrance of some nobody. Wow

How do all you nichefags feel now that I have the GREATEST JUICE EVER?
And that it has TRIPLED IN PRICE!!!
Best investment I ever made.

What are some non-european fragrances and houses?

I don't like smelling like a pretentious europoor twink

>>14092011
Slumberhouse. Have fun getting a bottle.

>>14092011
Arab stuff

>>14091371
You can see from his face and eyes that he's not to be trusted

>>14092025
Why? Looks like a competent salesman to me...

>>14092011

>>14092040
Do you not see the madness in his eyes? The false persona he puts on in his dress and mannerisms? The way to try and be comedic with spinning and gather attention with clapping? A juxtaposition to his "luxury" sense of dress in his reviews?

Recommendations on a wood dominant summer fragrance? Maybe citrus or floral and cedar wood. Most interested in niche offerings.

>>14092184
Egoiste

>is gucci guilty absolute really discontinued?
Hey man, i work in an Australian store. For the past year and a half we haven't had any testers in, they ran out world wide apparently. But, we will be always selling it. It was the first male fragrance by Alessandro Michele & famous fragrance man i can't remember. Try the blackberry one or the new one if you dig a non floral fragrance.

Share the snice frag you are wearing today

I'm 20 and dress pretty normally (dark blue or black jeans/chinos, GATs, black sherpa jacket or parka)
I don't know shit about fragrances. Which colognes could I try out that'll get me the most compliments from college girls?
I just care about smelling nice/attractive, not about originality

>>14092245
Holy shit, she's unbelievably hot. But why the hell short hair??? Montale Black Oud for me today

>>14092255
Korous, Antaeus

>>14092255
The boring usual stuff probably, Sauvage, Paco Rabanne etc etc if you see an advert for it on television then it's probably worth a buy for impressing stupid girls.

>>14092272
>>14092277
Forgot to mention, I'm looking for something I can wear mostly all year long since I don't think I can afford one bottle for FW and another for SS. Antaeus and Kouros seem pretty wintery.

>>14092280
BdC EDP
DHI/DHS
Aqua do Gio Profumo
Narciso Rodrigues
Terre d’hermes
D&G The one
Allure Homme Sport

>>14092245
>>14092261
I have to agree. The short hair knocks her down at least 2 points. Looked much snicer and more feminine with the long hair.

Not wearing anything yet, but I’m heading out in about 2 hours. Kinda thinking Grev today.

>>14091862
As promised

>>14092241
I just ordered a tester of GG Absolute from fragrancenet and they seem to have no shortage of bottles.

I just got samples of
>creed aventus
>creed green irish tweed
>creed himalaya
>creed royal water
>d2 rocky mountain wood
>lalique encre noire
>thierry mugler pure malt
Did I do good? I've been basic as fuck for a long time with acqua di gio and decided to change it up.

>>14092341
how much handholding do you need? you get samples, you smell them, you buy whichever one you like best. find ones you like, look for other fragrances with similar notes. what the hell does "do good" in the context of buying samples even mean

>>14092361
Just looking for suggestions for similar fragrances since someone might have the similar taste. Keep being a goofball tho ya dingus.

On a man? y/n?
Was DHI reformulated?

>>14091371
Don't know, I doubt anyone that didn't preorder is going to buy it.

>>14092383
Disgusting

>>14092245

thanks

>>14092626
is it weird that i wear deodorant and perfume at the same time?

>hating on Arabian oils
>flexing Oud frags at the same time

Give me the best gourmand fragrances of all time. I already own Mugler Pure Tonka

>>14092245
spicebomb extreme, it's winter here in the midwest

Ordered a frag on Friday from FN with 3-5 day shipping. Yet it’s still hasn’t shipped. How long does it take these motherfuckers to ship it

>>14092208
Been meaning to try this. Doesnt seem like it would be appropriate for summer but I'll try it regardless. Same goes for Sycomore.

>>14092671
Serge Lutens has a few. Arabie comes to mind. Kilian Black Phantom and Back to Black. Roja Amore Mio.

Recommend me a frag. My style is something like this:

> black chain wyatts, sidezip boots or clean white clean sneaks
> suit trousers
> navy field jacket (tailored)

Usually go for a menswear type style. My signature scent is Terre d'Hermes.

Did anyone try some Diptyque fragrances? Pretty much all of them I tried were great, but they're really pushing the male/female direction.

>>14092718
Penhaligons Sartorial

>>14092723
Yup, they are all very natural, well blended, unisex. They seem to be getting more attention in here lately.

>>14092678
We call it a 'Snicebomb' here, anon

>>14092245
Wearing this to work for the first time.

>>14092723
>>14092735
Got a sample of Volutes on its way, looking forward to trying it.

What would his man be wearing?

>>14092293
When are you going to message her finally? Just realised that she has an email in her IG bio, so she's 99% down to fuck. Contracted models get all of their gigs through their agencies, there's no need for sharing an email unless she's keen on taking a D and that's most likely the case. Play your cards right anon, though. Suggest her maybe going on '' '''''vacations'''''' with you. Even if she regularly swallows sheikhs poop in Dubai, she might play 'I'm not this type of girl' thing

>>14092750
dont see that one talked about much. let us know how it is.

>>14092723
that one gave me a headache. that also happened to me when i smelled black afghano by nasomatto. Tam Dao and Eau Duelle are great, though.

>>14091159
Unironically sexy as fuck in the right situation

I generally dress in a darker aesthetic with brighter colours like sage green or bright red being the focal points of my fits for the top half, with bombers/puffers for the aesthetic. If my trousers are the standout point they'll be realy light blue (for palewave fits) or patterned/washed in a way I feel works.
Been thinking of copping a bottle of Boss Bottled or Le Male as basic bitch scents to go with my normie yet different style.
Anything else I should try out first? i'm willing to travel to a Boots that has Dior, Chanel, JPG, Boss, Davidoff and Diesel frags (off the top of my head from the last time I visited about 3-4 months ago)

>>14092697
Speaking of Sycomore...
I have tried a few vetivers - Guerlain Leau Boise, TdH edt and edp, Anat Fritz Tzora, maybe a few others.

By the end, they have all turned into this sharp, medicinal, barbershop smell that I dont enjoy. How similar is the vetiver in Sycomore? What are the chances I will get the same effect with it? It almost seems like a bad skin reaction - but maybe thats just what vetiver smells like.


Tom Ford Grey Vetiver and Phaedon Black Vetiver dont develop in the same way and I enjoy them.

>>14092723
They smell nice, but in a way that I would want my home to smell, not myself.

>>14092830
Vetiver smells really sharp, it’s not your skin.

Sycomore will smell like grey vetiver but more dry and without citrus.

I wouldn’t say the others you mention are truly vetiver fragrances.

>>14092767
Unfortunately, I won’t be over in Europe again until probably September or October. Too busy right now. I’m in the process of doing a renovation/moving, so I have no time to even think about that kind of thing until the summer at least.

>>14092830
I want to describe that "sharp, medicinal, barbershop" smell as smelling like bandaids, but Hinoki also smells like bandaids and I love it, sooo, idk.

>>14092835
I feel this, especially with 34 Boulevard Saint Germain. I want some of their candles.

>>14092840
>grey vetiver but more dry and without citrus
That sounds fabulous, I'll try it. Thanks.

>>14092753
Guerlain or old Hèrmes

>>14092830
Sycomore is just a glorified Encre Noire

>>14092775
Yeah I'm on a bit of a tobacco kick, got a few others in the same mold coming.

I'm about to pull the trigger on this. Are there any similar frags I should consider before doing it? I love the spice/sweet combo this brings.

>>14092245

>>14092746
Why does the packaging look photoshopped?

>>14092723
don't bother with edps. they take away the natural smell of the fragrance and basically swettens them up and turns them powdery. also better preformance is nonexistent with the exception of oud palao amd tempo which only come in edp and have great preformance. tam dao edt and philosykos edt are masterpieces.

>>14092870
So I've heard. The general consensus seems to be that they are in different leagues. I'll leave encre noir and arabian oils to the poorfags.

>>14091408
>>14092208
Okay, I need the consensus on Egoiste. I haven't smelled it myself but it seems polarizing here. Timeless classic, or dated swill?

>>14092882
Go for it. Essenza is very snice.

>>14092366
Then say which ones you liked and ask for suggestions. "Did I do good?" does not imply that at all.

I just realized my local frag shop has a bunch of Frederic Malle bottles. Any ones I should definitely try out? Gimme some ideas.

>>14091055
Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo signature. Or the original

>>14092948
Overrated and dated in my opinion.

>>14092620
>>14092650
Damn, you got that list from me? I have all but the last two lmfao..

If you can only get one of those and youre broke and trying to get the sportiest one, go for Chanel or Cool water, with the latter being the cheapest. Be aware tho that cool water is total sleazecore vaporwave aesthetic type frag though and it smells a lot like black ice air freshener because they copied cool water. If you end up liking that vibe and want to go deeper, check out Drakkar Noir and then if you want to go even deeper, Kouros

>>14092753
It’s a no brainer

>>14093030
Okay, but why?

>>14093047
Don’t listen to him. It’s neither overrated nor dated. Honestly it’s to this day one of the more interesting and unique smelling fragrances. I mean it’s a classic already

>>14093047
Smell it for yourself. It’s just not that noteworthy and not particularly attractive. I find it smells ok and then gets cloying and annoying. It was popular in its time and smells dated now.
People like to claim things are masterpieces for things that weren’t from their time because they think it’s makes them special or they believe they have elevated and refined taste.
It’s like how teens get interested in the Beatles, but reject current artists today. It’s the same idea for people hating sauvage but loving egoiste/Fahrenheit when they weren’t around for the times the former were popular.

I’m just spitballing because I don’t want to fully flesh out my thoughts, but egoiste sucks.

>>14093077
The latter*

>>14092972
carnal flower

Today is tom Ford Noir Extreme day. Tomorrow Dunhil Icon

Wish I didn't allready spend 430,- oiros on frags this year. I really wanna buy Valentino Uomo and Guerlain L'Homme Ideal

>>14093077
It literally doesn’t smell outdated

>>14093102
It really does among anyone who didn’t spend too much time researching fragrance on the internet

>>14092753
>>14093044
This. Eau Sauvage is one of my favs. Even the current formulation leaves every designer frag behind. There's a reason it was called playboy perfume of choice in 60s.

>>14093091
>Guerlain L'Homme Ideal
I have this but Intense, absolutely love it. Got 2 unsolicited compliments from only like 6 or 7 times I've worn it. One chick I was banging started smelling me during sex and said "please don't shower after this"

finally figured out what Prada l'homme reminds of

>>14093124
I bought a 5ml decant blindly last September to use for the fall season and I HATED it when i first sprayed it. It was a slightly metallic, nutty cinnamon with citrus that didn't sit well at all and ended up scrubbing it. Went to visit the 'rents in November and brought it along with a bunch of other decants. I wore it the first night out with them to give it a second chance and my opinion changed completely. The first half hour or so it sits kinda sour, but in the drydown it becomes magical. The citrus tones down but does sit in the background while the cinnamon and sandlewood give it a warm masculinity. It does become very woody. Another thing I picked up on after wearing it a few more times was that fucking rose that wafts in and out. Perfect. In short, I got home and immediatly ordered a bottle. There's a shit ton of opinion about Egoiste on the internet but you really do have to try it out, and really give it a couple of wears to give it a verdict. I was pleasantly surprised how such an old frag could still be contemporary.

its an oldie but a goodie.

>Guaranteed to get you laid.

>>14092824
Any help?

>>14093360
I want a vintage bottle like that so badly

>>14093384
its insanely cheap for such a great fragrance desu.

holy fucking shit this tom ford ombre leather smells amazing, but fuck why is it so expensive lol

>>14093375
You've said about your fit but that doesn't necessarily tell us much about what scent profile you'd like. Spicy? Fresh? etc etc. I'd hit up Debenhams or John Lewis if you can rather than a Boots, they'll usually have a better selection.

>>14093418
Most of the bottles ive seen are like $150 for an unopened vintage. I’ll look again tho

>>14093438
I think a spicy or oud based scent would work for me for the cold and early Spring

>>14093422
It cost 3 times as much 3 years ago so...

>>14093422
I got the 50 ml for $125
Not cheap but way more affordable than the private blend prices

>>14093422
>imagine being this poor

>>14092245
Prada Infusion d'Homme

>>14093422
you better suck it up buttercup and buy it now before they jack the price up. shit used to be part of the private blend line. it's wildly popular and once the make it expensive again they're gonna rely on the people who bought it cheap, loved it, and hopefully buy it at a skyhigh price.

Are there any scents out there with a candied raspberry note like Fuel for Life? I find that the raspberry in individuel is clean. Can't say much about TL as I haven't smelled it

>>14092040
damn did he age badly

Fuck, why is Sycomore so hard to find a sample of at a decent price. Egoiste too. I just want to buy both from the same place.

Whats everyone Spring/Summer line up lookin like?
>Cool Water, Aqva Amara, Pineapple Vintage intense, 1 more maybe 2

Also how do people here with ~12 bottles organize /display them?

>>14093891
literally nothing because i cant find a summer frag i like. citrus and aquatic sucks desu.

Is this true guys?

>>14093904
I don't know about 1 year, but I definitely notice increased longevity/projection with my bottles after I use them a few times and then let them sit for a couple weeks

>>14093360
At a Frag shop, talking with the girl that works there. I brought up this frag and she told me it smells of old man and her Dad actually wears it

>>14093901
i dress mostly vaporwave/cheers style, so I try to think what Woodie or Sam would wear, or what smells evoke the feeling of listening to vaporwave; then narrow it down to what I like.
>I hate animalics and haven't found a good brisk summer wood, so all i have is citrus and aquatic

>>14093921
tf you talkin' about

What do you guys think Hannibal would be wearing?

>>14093943
Amouage interlude or myths, but actually he'd make his own cologne, at least he got that skill according to the book

>>14092245
Oud wood

>>14093901
with summer you should get something citrusy like Hermès Terre D’Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver or whatever the summer version is called.

Anyone familiar with this etsy seller? Seems to get rave reviews elsewhere. Really tempted to pull the trigger on a few of those.

>>14091822

based

>>14093904
>>14093910
this is something i've noticed too, and not even a year after merely months. this would probably explain why testers are so potent since they probably sit there for month being sprayed here and there.

>>14092245
CDNIM today, I was feeling nostalgic :)

>>14094176
>Seems to get rave reviews elsewhere

>>14093481
Try Azzaro Wanted By Night.

>>14093035
thanks a lot man

Is there a powdery vanilla scent? Seeing has how the old DHI is long gone is there anything that can replace it?

>>14093901
Prada l'homme?

>>14093091
Order Zara 9.0 - DHI and VU vibe with good performance for a quarter of the price.
>>14093047
It's a nice fragrance, especially if you like cinnamon, a similar and yet so much cheaper alternative would be CK Obsession for men. Also take everything with a pinch of salt around here, I like how people say Egoiste is dated yet sing the praise of fragrances like Eau Sauvage and Colonia, that smell just like barbershop lemon verbena piss for me.

>Recently smelled

>>14094231
As soon as I saw that name I foresaw your Google results. What were they thinking? May as well call it Bussy or something.

if wine industry manages to let their products age for years before selling, then why doesn't the perfume industy do that too? oh yeah, because in perfumes, that's broscience

checkmate, atheists

>>14093756
well perfume is heavy on the liver

>>14093148
I bought it few months ago, and loving it, but performance is pathetic. Is this intentional?

Should I blind buy Dunhill icon if I'm a fan of bergamot and pepper? (ie Abercrombie's Fierce Icon?)

>>14094336
I have Parfum version and don't have reasons to complain

Am I an absolute loon for thinking of layering Lynx Peace with Fahrenheit? They smell kinda similar in a musky way... Just the deo on my underarms and chest to compliment it?

>>14094330
>well perfume is heavy on the liver

>he sprays frags on his skin

Dude,... spray it on your clothes.

>>14094374
>he doesn't know your body absorbs the frag and its processed by the liver

>>14094312
>Anything I don't understand is a Reddit meme
Consider the cost involved in aging any fine product (wine, cheese, ham, whiskey, beers) and realize that you're just a dumb kid talking about things above your pay grade and experience level.

>>14094376
That's why he need to spray it on his clothes...

>>14094448
you dont think fragrances can alter and/or age finely?

>>14091073
Same

>>14094523
Exactly the opposite. I'm saying that fragrance aging is a real phenomenon, especially with fresh bottles, and that the Anon calling it broscience is an ignorant retard.

Name 5 diferent fragrances that have meme status

Go take a bath in acid.

Dropped my L'Occitane bottle from about hip height to the wood floor this morning and it survived without a scratch. Should not have moisturized before grabbing glass bottles.

Based solid vintage looking L'Occitane apothecary bottles.

Trying my sample of Fahrenheit today, smell it super easily even after a bath and I love the violet drydown

The magic part is the Iso E Super I think, Fahrenheit was one of the first frags to have a lot of that as a main note

is this worth a try? Or is it it super dated? I'd like a musky frag for a change

>>14093901
>>14095223
Maybe I'll just get Molecule 01 for summer. All my favorite winter frags seem to be pretty Iso E Super heavy.

I tried it once and didnt get much from it but I probably need more time with it.

I just got a sample of Oud Palao and Tempo a few days ago and they're really great. Tempo is a nice sweet patch. Oud Palao has stupid longevity. I sprayed my neck and a bit in on my jacket and I can still smell that shit 2 days later strongly. Might cop a bottle of both soon.

Ohh boy a package.

>>14096192
What a fine day.

>>14096192
FragranceBuy. Those red boxes always get me hype.

>>14096196
You could have bought the Parfums Vintage version and been just as happy! Nice, though. I think this is the best thing going in blue bottle / chadsculine scents right now.

>>14096209

>>14096196

>not including the counterpart to this meme.

Utter pleb.

>>14096209
I have to disagree. I feel like PV has gone way downhill. I own PVI, one of the original bottles with the metal seal and it’s fantastic. I got samples of a bunch of their new scents a few months back, not sure if I got their Elysium/BDC scent, but I was not at all impressed by any of them.

I think they were good when they were focusing on one thing. Seems like they’ve stretched themselves too thin now and the quality of their scents has suffered as a result.

Also, Elysium is really snice. I don’t see a clone matching the quality of the real thing.

>>14096231

Bucking on a trend and making a more solid structure with an acyclic musk as a top note and making ambroxan less piercing does not equal top quality. Lol.

>>14096240
Well, it’s by far the best scent in its genre, so yeah, it kinda does.

>>14096243

You haven't done enough searching then. Just a victim of clever marketing.

>>14096256
Oh well what AO clone should I get Rajeesh?

>>14096260

Not an arab oil shill.

>>14096256
OR I’ve tried tons of similar scents and didn’t like them as much (or they had performance issues) and actually made an informed decision, and you’re just one of those cheap faggots who thinks he’s smarter than everyone else because he doesn’t spend money. I bet you wear cheap Chinese knockoffs of designer clothes too.

>>14092753
Habit rouge

i currently have Tom Ford Grey Vetiver but am a bit bored of it. thinking about getting Eau Sauvage.

I don’t really have any preference just tell me your absolute faves

Can someone recommend some samples?
I used to wear Cool Water, but I want to move on. I want to try some stuff, but there’s so many to pick. What samples should I get that are “better” or similar?
I’ve tried versace and some gucci at their respective stores, but I didn’t really like it. They were too sweet

>trying to flex about a crap perfume by a meme company
>muh ambergris and high quality materials (They do not use actual ambergris, it's called an accord you faggot)
>Doesn't actually know the nuances of materials claimed to be used
>"I-I'm not a victim of marketing! You're just cheap because you don't pay for meme trash scents with barely above designer quality!"

Nigger. Roja uses mostly mainstream quality materials with a thin layer of high-impact captives and smoother musk base blenders. You can waste money on shit like that because of presentation all you want.

Wanting to pay for perfumes that actually use materials worth the cash, blended in a smooth fashion and not being a confused mess of a composition, is not cheap. It's called actually knowing your shit instead of just reading online reviews and buying into meme companies with directors that pretend to be perfumers. You can easily find creators that make perfumes that don't have to adhere to cheapening out or excessive regulations, but hey, you smelled like 10 perfumes at most in the genre and used google, extensive testing eh buttercup?

>>14096308
Thoughts on lutens?

Oh, ok. You’re that faggot who occasionally shows up and spergs out when someone mentions Roja. Good to know.

Sour grapes?

>>14096218
>>14096231
On the contrary, PV have improved greatly in the past year. I'll be the first to say that the original Pineapple Vintage / Noir / Intense / Intense Noir entries were somewhat lacking. But the recent Evolution Soir is very, very good. I had the opportunity to test Elysium Cologne at Scent Bar LA last week after blind buying and receiving the PV clone and can confidently say that I no longer desire the Roja. Evolution Soir is to Elysium what La Yuqawam is to Tuscan Leather. It's a very high quality almost-copy that is slightly different but easily mistakable for the original, and is arguably preferable to the scent it copies. The same can be said of Sunset in Heaven, which does a great job of capturing Baccarat Rouge 540. I could easily afford to buy the originals from Fragrancebuy just like you did, but I no longer feel the need to. With 300+ bottles in my collection already, why tie up $300+ when $85 gets me all of the satisfaction?

>>14096337
>With 300+ bottles in my collection already
You do you my dude, I have all of 6 bottles now and I am fine with what I have at this point, I dont plan an adding anything else to what I have.

>>14096330
He's not wrong, you're just burning money. The clone is just as good. Perfume is not designer clothing, it is all made with the same shit by the same people.

>>14096308
What a miserable faggot you are. I know it’s cliche, but you must be a hit at parties. Dude comes here and posts his new frag that he’s excited about, and you just have to go out of your way to bring him down and tell him he’s stupid for buying it. Could you really not just let him enjoy his purchase? Do you really need to make yourself feel superior to people because you have such ultra-refined taste and only wear fragrances made from fermented yogurt, camel piss, and fresh squeezed beaver spunk?

>>14096347

I will have you know that Roja HIMSELF blends every bottle by HAND. He does not have to abide by EU regs due to his distinctive charm, even the cosmetics regulation committees weep and waive his highest quality frags through!

>>14096347
It isn’t, though.

Cool Water.
https://frompyrgos.blogspot.com/2014/10/getting-turins-opinion-on-cool-water.html

>tldr: GIT is overrated, Cool Water is the superior juice

Also, I gave my bottle of Tres Nuit away...it's the same scent profile but done in the Pajeet style aka overbearingly heavy handed. If Cool Water has 20% dihydromyrcenol (it actually does) and 2% ambroxan (for arguments sake, this is already an insanely high concentration for ambroxan), Tres Nuit smells like it's 40% dihydromyrcenol and 4% ambroxan. It burns your airways and makes you go noseblind. Avoid Tres Nuit.

Act quick, US anons.

>amazon is cheaper and faster shipping that the links in the OP
yeoch

>>14096583
just got to make sure the seller is legit.

>>14096583
Amazon also sells a shitload of knockoff/counterfeit junk. Not just with fragrances. And no, only buying directly from Amazon doesn’t make it much safer. There’s good reason we don’t buy from there.

>>14096561
Thanks for the tip. Copped. Dunno if it’s any good or not, but the notes look snice, and it gets hyped a lot here, and I do usually like Kurkdjian’s work, so why the fuck not? Cost me 50 maplebux with shipping and duties. If I don’t like it, no big deal.

>>14096616
Amazon have a habit of buying fake / low grade shit and selling it as first quality. I have bought multiple pairs of sneakers from them (sold by Amazon!) at low prices only to find that they have glaring defects. It's a clearinghouse of outlet-grade b-stock.

>>14096639
Absolutely. Half the sellers on there are shifty chinamen selling shoddy knockoff bullshit, and even from Amazon directly, I’ve been burned several times. I only buy shit off Amazon nowadays that I won’t really miss if it breaks. I’d never buy anything expensive or important off Amazon. It’s a total minefield.

shady packaging, shady bottles, shady juice, invalid batch codes. You probably got real bottles, I think its usually pretty noticeable if you got a fake

How do you put on cologne? Spray it in the air then walk through it? I know some people who use like 3 sprays with direct contact. Complete opposite of the former example

>>14097025
Other frag reviewers are boring fucks who don't know how to entertain, but at the same time being extremely jealous of Jeremy, so badly that they stalk him and release personal information. Pretty cringe i guess.

His sketches and songs are kinda cringy but yeah unlike Jerememe he at least talks about classic and not too famous frags

Jeremy just said in his masculine list Khiels original musk smells really close to real deer musk. Anyone got comments on that? I know at least one of you guys has ALD Russian Musk. I hven't watched his fragrance videos in months but the video was quite enjoyable.

>>14097309
>>14097044
thx guys regarding reflection, if it's always at that price (which seems to be a decent one), i won't rush because of MUH DISCOUNT but will keep an eye open for another month or two

>>14097559
It may be a bit higher normally maybe 160-170 but definitely not retail which is 255(?) on amouages. Look at the other amouages not on sale you will see those are also around 140-180. You can put it in your shopping cart it will stay the same price forever, then when they have a coupon code for like 10/15% extra like once or twice a year you can apply the code and you get the discount on top of the price in your cart. I dont know if they have nerfed this yet.

>Jeremy’s making trouble in my neighborhood

Trying my sample of Serge Lutens Chergui. It's.....ok I guess? I mean it's nice but it's not blowing my mind or anything. Bit disappointing

>>14097976
Honestly, this is the case with a lot of scents in this hobby. There's a lot of hype and verbose fictional writing on scents which boosts expectations and takes things into fantasy land. I suspect some people are on the chase of mind-blowing scents and have dropped lots of money on the chase. My suggestion would be to not take what's on the internet too seriously and never put your expectations on a scent beyond "very good" and you'll be much happier in this game.

Despite rumours of (((reformulation))) is L'eau D'issey PH a good scent still? I won't get through my 125ml tester for a very long time and its such a nice scent for me to wear under my shirt with the floral and light citrus/vetiver drydown. But people say it smell/performs bad with recent bottles, so if that's the case do I go with a bottle of Leau par Kenzo?
But

>>14097976
>>14098136
Having worn it for a little now it reminds me of a more refined and well rounded version of Jazz Club.

>>14098136
This is very good advice. I’ve only ever smelled a few scents that were really mind-blowing. Scents that upon very first smell, I was like “ok, wow, I need a bottle of this right now”. There are a lot of scents that I have that I like a lot, but wasn’t absolutely blown away by, and that’s fine. Every scent doesn’t need to be perfect to be very good. If you’re only chasing the mind-blowing, you’ll be disappointed almost every time.

Logically, it seems like wearing frags can only hurt your chances with women (outside of a club/bar). Either she likes how you smell, which frankly she would have to because if she doesn't like how you yourself smell it's not going to work out, or she doesn't and you've played yaself by wearing a frag that turns her off. Thoughts, /effay/?

>>14098398
Like, I agree, but I disagree, B

TdH Vetiver for my spring/summer collection, yes or no?

>>14098422
I know, B! It seems like it shouldn't make sense, and I don't know if it bears out in the real world, but logically it's there.

>>14097585
wait, so I've seen Terre d'Hermes go up quite a bit on Notino EU, but I added it to my cart a while ago, so my cart shows a lower price. You mean I can buy it and actually pay the lower price?

>>14098504
Based catposter.

>>14097557

Lol he is full of shit. Khiels musk is mostly polycyclic musk. Some white musks are close in a generic musk profile, such as nitromusks which aren't used in EU based compositions. You can't beat the real McCoy though. Polycyclic musks very easily overwhelm the nose and can vary from laundry-soft to piercing.

>>14097557
>Khiels original musk smells really close to real deer musk
I tried Khiels' OM today, went in ready to buy it at $40, but sadly I was not impressed. Looking for other musk recommendations, or something with a strong black pepper note.

What happened to fragrantica search, they changed the layout and the search filter is fucked up. Searching for Apple and Lavender now searches for Apple OR Lavender. Not really useful.
>>14098735
Yeah thought so, from RM reviews it seems a lot different than OM.
>>14098762
I dont really like OM either, it smells pretty dated. It is really nice on clean skin when you have just showered though. I like creeds musk a lot, smw and aventus have great musk.

>>14097466
He is brilliant

>>14096949
It depends on the strength and profile of the fragrance.

Cool Water, I spray on both sides of my neck, on my wrist, and then press my wrists together

but something like Aramis I'd spray only once, on my collarbone

>>14097016
Guerlain or Grey Vetiver are solid choices
