Tfw warm weather is coming

Can't wait to cop some summer bangers

Artisan Pure and Light Blue Eau Intense are on the list

>>14183935
Look into Polo Ultra Blue instead of D&G LBEI.

creed himalaya is based

Alright /frag/ what are some designer frags you would say are a must to try? One of my moms friends works at a chain perfume store and they are quite generous with giving out samples to me. Open to anything

>>14183966
Chanel

>>14183966
Versace

>>14183947
I've been thinking about sampling but always talk myself out of it. How present in the sandalwood?

>>14183971
Im kind of a niche fag but I fuck with Dior Homme and Fahrenheit, Tom Ford Grey Vetiver and Ombre Leather.

What do you think about cuba gold?

Recommendation for other fragrances I might like?

Disregard Sauvage, it was the first one I bought and only use it for clubbing.

Favorites: GGA and both Encre Noires

>>14184034
Try Antaeus. Also look into patchouli scents such as Lorenzo Villoresi Firenze Patchouli or even Boss Cashmere Patchouli.

I like how everyone is so defensive about owning Sauvage.

>b-but I don’t really like it! Honest! I bought it before I knew it was a meme! I-I only use it to go clubbing!

If you like it, own it. Fuck’s sake, why are you autists so concerned about what other autists on a Mongolian Snake Weaving board think?

>mfw I will never afford Chanel Les Exclusifs cuz I am a fucking europoor poorfag with no future

>>14184079
How could anybody *never* afford a $200-300 fragrance? Even poorfags make more than that in a week. You'd be amazed at what you can afford if you get a fucking job and limit your spending in another area.

>>14184096
Still that’s a lot of money for a frag

>>14184099
I understand that - I'm just saying if you really want something, you can probably have it. Don't buy that video game this month, dont go out to dinner this week - its not that hard to save $200.

>>14184006

just in the background of the base. himalaya just smells like nice clean soap. that sounds shitty when "reviewers" say it and it makes me not want a fragrance but i mean it in a good way. i would wear himalaya on like spring days

>that warm feeling after you buy a few samples online

heading to scent bar tomorrow too. outside of new york and paris (maybe london) los angeles must be the most based place if you're a fragrance fag

I smelled Santal 33 in Tijuanas red light district. I think I'm tossing my bottle.

>>14184154

lelabo is in literally every big department store in the country and santal 33 is their most famous fragrance. everyone knows it's beyonce's favorite fragrance. it's not your seekrit club bro lol

>>14184153
Amsterdam has De Bijenkorf, Skins, and Marjo. Probably not Scent Bar good, but some great places to shop for frags nonetheless. Plus, the girls at De Bijenkorf who helped me the last few times were qts.

>>14184162
i just looked it up and it looks pretty based. always wanted to go to the netherlands

>>14184169
I love Amsterdam. Might not be for everyone, parts are very touristy, and it can get expensive, but man, I’ve been 10 times now, and those trips have been some of the best times of my life. Always meet cool people, get to have lots of crazy sex, buy some great frags each time. Love it.

Plus, most people seem to enjoy my hooker frag reports. Except that one autist who didn’t believe me and shit up like the next 7 or 8 threads with his autism.

>>14184153
When you're at Scent Bar please try Santa Maria Novella Patchouli. It's the only store where you'll find the SMN line, and Patch is a top 3 bottle for me. You doing Smorgasburg?

>>14184193
i've been to smorgasburg yea. forgot tomorrow is sunday lol gonna be packed. i always glanced over that stuff but never smelled it when i've gone there. i will try it tomorrow

>>14184034
Relax, sauvage is a good choice dont let a couple of internet dweebs get in your head

>>14184153
What is a good fragrance place to visit in new york

>>14184234

cmon man literally the entire island of manhattan is gonna have flagship stores for the biggest designers

>>14184232
If someone's 16-19, I'll give them a pass for wearing Sauvage.

Any older than that, you're clearly uncultured and socially unaware.

>>14184257
eugen pls go

Im looking for a good grass spring frangrence and something that can be good working outside as a daily, Hopefully something around $20~30.

>>14184282

>>14184234

Guerlain vetiver, take a look on the clearance sites.

I just blind bought this. What am I in for?

>>14184464
luxury fabric softener with a raspberry kick

>>14183966
Depends on your routine and weather

Got gifted this and I'm liking it a lot. Like smelling crushed mint leaves in a flower garden. What are your favorite frags from ELdO?

>>14184586
You or Someone Like You is nice. I bought a 30ml of it. I also own and enjoy Hermann (the goth Sauvage) and Fat Electrician.

>>14183935

Step aside, Summerplebs.

>>14184034

You should look at Aesop Hwyl. It's a great scent in the same vein as your favorites and doesn't get enough love.

>>14183941
I hate myself for being such a sucker for this kind of advertising. The same for the video advert for Neroli Portofino.

Do any of you have any favourite fragrance adverts, picture or video?

>>14184687
Im gonna try this next winter because I love hinoki

>>14185002
Le Labo has been meh in my experience but their deconstructed photos are so a e s t h e t i c. I like deconstructed fragrance photos in general though.

>>14185002
also a fan of diptyque's look

First Tom Ford.
It's awesome.

>>14185072
Nice collection there. Not my favourite Tom Ford but if I didn’t have TL I’d have got OL.

>>14184034
>the only two Encre Noires to not matter

Wanting to try these two and hear from anyone with experience on them.

>>14184290
>>14184376
These look good gonna cop them when soon.

Is it just me or nobody irl is wearing cologne? That's why it's funny when people call a scent overplayed.

>>14183930
Is this good? I got it from my brother and it’s the only fragrance I have

>>14185260
Are those real diamonds?

Going to be in Melbourne at the end of the month so want to try on a few frags for the winter mail order, obviously there's the department stores, Paint and Powder was the only place that had Encre Noire, (tried that and blind bought Sport off the back of it, wondering whether I should go the orginal or Extreme next, or just both), that Chemists Warehouse owned cosmetics only chain, any I'm missing?

Don't Linden trees smell like cum?

>>14185257
At my work there is one guy who always wears Light Blue, one who wears Armani Code Profumo, and two others who wear Sauvage every day. About half of the women wear a perfume of some type. I've smelled Light Blue (female version), Chance, and Black Opium, among others. This is in a very casual work environment in suburban southern California. I also smell Sauvage on a regular basis when out and about in Los Angeles. It could be your nose or that people aren't wearing fragrance where you live. Do you not notice women wearing perfume? They tend to apply more heavily and frequently.

>>14185135
Tuscany is excellent. Quintessential men's scent.

>>14185290
Some clever landscaper planted a linden tree right at the entry gate of my high school and I would always be embarrassed / disgusted by the scent when arriving each morning. Like, who the fuck is beating off on campus every morning and how does it smell so strong?

>>14185072
If I'm not mistaken, there is a bottle of Bentley Infinite in the 1-st row. What can you say about it? Does it have a good longevity?

>>14185318
top lel

>>14185260
Sounds like he's too poor to afford Aventus *flex*

>>14185304
They do and I probably should have said that people rarely wear perfume. For example I have been wearing acqua di gio and people have complimented me on the smell and I even asked them did they smell it before and most of them have never heard of it.

>>14185331
Smells like tires in the first hour then like vanilla cookies.

How do you guys apply perfume oils from roll ons?

>>14185260
Damn very nice.
>>14185398
You roll them on.

>>14185451
Lol dude,you are so funny. You also spray perfume too? And cook food?

Best cheap colognes? Considering getting Perry Ellis 360 Red. Might spend a bit to get Versace The Dreamer.

>>14185464
Ask stupid questions get stupid answers

>>14185474
Ted Lapidus Pour Lui. Blind buy it. You won't regret it.

>>14185476
Especially when you ask the questions to stupid people.

>Nigger on poster
Well, they know their audience at least

Why is drakkar noir a meme? I haven't tried it but I've seen it criticized as a macho man fragrance,why is that bad?

This is fantastic. Smells clean, classy, and classically masculine but contemporary and unique at the same time. Think of a fougere kind of vibe but with a strong dose of mint, citrus, birch, and ginger. Starts off super fresh and invigorating and gets smoother and spicier as time goes on. Lasts a good while. 100ml testers go for $30 USD. I highly recommend checking this out for spring/summer.

>>14185580
It's not bad. People nowadays are used to sheer, androgynous inoffensive fragrances. Anything with obvious markers of masculinity like Drakkar Noir are demonized and shamed mercilessly. No wonder you see TV shows making fun of it all the fucking time.

In real life however, it gets compliments pretty often when people don't know what they're smelling. Funny how that works right?

Is there any meme designer frag that isn't used to death? Like I'd get boss bottled or sauvage or even le male but I feel like they're epic memes since they've been used a ton.
Doesn't help I smelled le male on this older dude at work during service and made him seem hella gay

>>14185626
>In real life however, it gets compliments pretty often when people don't know what they're smelling.


Is it worth getting with the new formulation?

yo

literally never owned cologne or perfume in my entire life but I've recently started trying to invest in my appearance a bit

any must haves for cold weather? or something that works for both cold and warm?

I live in Wyoming and our winter wont be over for another couple months so open to either

I can pick up a bottle of Blue Jeans for around £15 or so.
Is it worth a blind buy at that price?

Im not very old looking and I've been using Bleu de Chanel mostly which I liked but wanna try something less mainstream
Use for the fragrance would just be everyday wear nothing special
Any recommendations for Fall/Spring times?

>>14185673
>>14185663
Terre D'hermes, Lalique Pour Homme, Montblanc Individuel, Prada L'homme

>>14185716
That's the second or third time Prada L'homme has been recommended to me, definitely gonna check it out. Thanks senpai.

Are different colognes best worn with certain outfits?

>>14185746
Prada L'homme is awesome, I use it every day for the office, but yeah, it's recommended here to everyone, so don't be surprised.

>>14185652
Yes but it's not a hot weather summer/spring fragrance. It's better in the fall and winter because it evokes an alpine forest in northern Europe.

>>14185775
Definitely gonna give it a shot then, thanks again

Is Versace the Dreamer really for older men? I'm pretty young, and not really "sophisticated", can I pull it off?

>>14185808
Seconding this, the notes look like they'd suit me but I don't know.
Is the lavender and tobacco combo soapy?

I'm 26 and still get ID'd for drink.
However my hairline has been going to shit slowly the past couple years so I have to side part to hide where it's thinning at the part.
Since my hair isn't getting any better and I'm not getting older, should I start embracing "mature" scents, or wear AHS, Sauvage and Polo Blue like I usually do?

>>14185873

Incredibly sweet and nice, reminds me of the Como lake, endurance is only mediocre though.
Where do you live? It Has to be 25 degrees celsius plus to fully come into its right.

Thanks.

>>14186364
Pacific NW. It's mostly cool and some medium heat during summer. Thanks for the insight.

>>14186246
nice, been thinking about getting this one. Would you say it's a good date scent? Nighttime?

>>14186341
I got their colonia essenza and I fucking love it, the drydown is amazing, and performance is pretty good. It's definitely not as fresh as the blue line though.

can we take a minute to talk about home fragrances as well? I tried out Zara Home White Jasmine and it was fucking awesome, very subtle and it lasted me a loooong time (going on 4 months now).

>>14186457
And I've also just bought L:A Bruket's Grapefruit diffuser, waiting for the Zara one to run out and pop this baby open. Any good brands to recommend, guys?

hello lads

>>14186457
>>14186460
i don't think this is necessary

Ombre Leather or TL? Should I sample both?

>>14186412
eh, not really. I think the name is misleading. Its a bright, green, sharp vetiver I would pull for on a spring day.

There arent many vetivers I would put in the date night category - vetiver is quite medicinal on me and although its pretty fresh and masculine, its not particularly sexy or snuggly.

French Lover is a pretty standard vetiver. For the price, I would opt for Vetiver Extraordinaire - it seems more refined, woody, and wearable.

>>14186726
Cool, thanks for the advice. And have you tried Carnal Flower? Would that be a decent date scent?

I bought Grey Flannel because it was in the OP pastebin and holy fuck, why? That shit smells like a smoking section in a cheap motel.

>>14186873
Zoomers smell classics should have it's own Youtube channel in fragcomm

>>14186855
I havent. I recently got samples of French Lover, Vetiver Extraordinaire, Cologne Indelible, and Angelique Sous La Pluie.

I recon Portrait of a Lady, Une Rose, and Musc Ravageur would be nice date night scents. If your are interested in the house, I'd reccomend grabbing one of their $20 sample packs, or just reaching out. They sent me three free because they didnt have the two I was looking for.

Gucci Guilty Absolute seems to get some divisive reviews online, though many positive and it has plenty of accords I like. What are your thoughts on it?

>>14187045
Strong medicinal leathery vetiver and cypress. Not really 80s style but not really modern either and not mass appealing. Sample first

>>14185542
Fucking lol, chans in the wild

>>14184471
xD

>>14184257
Hold on, my dweeb radar went off the charts rn!

>>14185260
Yeah it’s very good. Nothing smells quite like it

>>14185290
European linden smells amazing, havent seen a single linden tree in canada so I can't tell you if there is a difference, on the other hand I did walk into Nordstrom once and the whole floor smelled like jizz

Love this smell anyone know a fragrance that smells similar?

>>14186873
Then why did you buy it idiot.

Does anyone here have experience with the Dior private blend frags?
Which ones are the most interesting, im planning on getting some samples

>>14187069
>Sample first
Yeah, for sure. Should be common enough even in Australia, plus it's out of the price range where I'd consider just dsaying "fuck it" and blind buying anyway

>>14188000
ambre nuit and patchouli Imperiale are my favorites. leather oud is overrated and feve is too sweet. oud ispahan is good but i already own diptyque oud palao and its way better. all the other ones were nice but forgettable to me.

>>14188013
Thanks anon
Ambre nuit is actually on top of my list, I'll look into patchouli imperial and feve... would you say they are unique or are there maybe cheaper alternatives?
Did you try mitzah?

I love vetiver, perhaps a little too much. Should I embrace it or try and wean myself off by getting some completely different frags?

>>14186023
Holy shit this is some strong early-2000s core

You guys recommended me Chanel blue and i've been getting nothing but compliments.

What kind of deodorants do you use/recommend?

(using Axe chocolate and i'm ashamed)

>>14188156
Get some unscented deodorant, I personally also make sure it has no aluminium in it seems to prevent yellow stains in white shirts

>>14188240
Which ones do you use?

>>14188244
I believe it's Sanex Zero or natural or something

>>14188156
Chanel has a whole bathing/aftershave line with this frag

>>14183966
>>14184006
Fragrances in the vein of Grey Vetiver:Terre D'Hermes Intense Vetiver, Lalique Encre Noire (Sport for the warmer season A'l extreme/regular when it gets colder) and Mugler Cologne. A designer that makes more niche type scents is Narciso Rodriguez. I love the for him and for her line. Now depending on the store it might carry more 'avant-garde' designers such as Comme des Garcons of which I suggest trying Kyoto, Hinoki, Sugi and Wonderwood.
>>14184034
Fresh vetiver scents: Guerlain Vetiver, Vetiver Extreme and Grey Vetiver. If you have money or like to sample try Chanel's Sycomore, Dior's Vetiver from the exclusive line, Dyptique Vetyverio and Byredo Bal d'Afrique.
If you liked Gucci Guilty Absolute that means you can pretty much wear anything, try some of Tom Fords' designer line, definitely more bolder and in your face than any counter fragrance.
>>14184079
>>14184096
Anon is definitely eastern European, imagine a country where minimum wage per month is close to 300$. And yes, even engineers get minimum wage to medium wage (about 400$) for their first year. That being said you can always get samples from the internet. A 10 ML goes a long long way.
>>14184282
My favorite green grassy scent is Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca. A fragrance that goes the same is Cartier Roadster Sport (very good mint in it). Should be easy to find for your price range at any discounter.
>>14185474
>>14185481
This is good
I consider cheap to be under 50 dollars so try:
>Spring/Summer:
Versace Pour Homme, Guerlain Vetiver, Jacques Bogart Silver Scent Pure, Dunhill Icon, Ferari Bright Neroli, CK One
>Fall/Winter:
Salvatore Ferragamo F by Ferragamo Black, Zadig and Voltaire This is Him, Versace The Dreamer, Versace Blue Jeans, Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu, Zara 9.0, CK One Shock, CK Obsession; Special taste tier: HM Hanae Mori.
>>14185670
Yes, it's a very nice scent for it's price. Definitely for colder times.

Can anyone please tell me how to spray on clothes for maximum efficiency (longevity and projection)? Mainly where to spray and how many sprays.

>>14188387
Bump, i'd like to know aswel.

I spray on my wrists, rub them together and rub my wrists behind my ears.

>>14188359
Based mass replier knows how shitty it’s to be a europoor. I earn a bit more than what you mentioned but still it’s nothing when compared to western countries

Is there a frag that smells like the drydown of Prada L'Homme? Amber and sandalwood

>>14188445
Yes. My farts. I am not even joking rn

>>14187671

>>14188387
Break off the atomizer and pour half a bottle with the fabric softner.

I use this.

>>14188359
>Vetiver Extreme
That's what I grabbed this from, divisive reviews but this had me concerned
>>14185290

tdh fucking sucks holy shit

>he doesn't wear based Drakkar Noir

It's like you guys enjoy being betas

>>14188571
>la douche
touche. Only a douche would unironically wear fuckin' Drakkar Noir.

>>14188571

>Sweet. Tenacious. Violent.

Such is Drakkar Noir: a manly violence underneath a black armor. A spicy, woody perfume with tenacious presence. A very masculine and very irresistible fragrance.

>>14188359
>>14188438
On the plus side, since minimum wage is so low, a lot of their hot girls wind up being webcam models or go to Amsterdam and work in the windows where they are enjoyed by perverts like me. So thanks for that, Eastern Europefags.

>>14188581
This is correct

>>14184184
anon please discuss more if you could; i am in my mid 30s, single now for a few months after some long term serious thing that didn't end well, and kinda feeling like saying fuck it and doing something crazy. don't travel much at all but amsterdam has been on my list since i saw it on Madcow tv show 20 yrs ago

>>14186341
great scent that for me only lasts 45 mins, not sure how that is even possible

>>14188626
Well, it’s a great city overall. Lots of good food, great frag shopping, got your coffee shops if weed is your thing, great bars, and the Dutchies are generally based as fuck as a people. Friendly, but they speak their mind, and if you act like a dumbass, they’re gonna let you know about it.

As far as the sex goes, it can be hit or miss depending on what you do. Amsterdam has 3 red light districts: a main one in De Wallen that everyone knows about, and two smaller ones in Singel and De Pijp that mostly only locals go to. De Wallen has hotter girls overall, but many are just there to rip off tourists and will give you shit service. The smaller areas have less attractive women overall, but are cheaper and generally better service, since the girls are mainly servicing locals, so they want to make regular clients. In De Wallen, always ask the girls what you get for your money before going inside, if you have anything you want to do, tell them ahead of time and work out any extra fees involved. If the girl seems to be trying to hurry you in the door, or seems to be dishonest, don’t go in.

For the best possible time, though, if you really want to say fuck it, and are willing to spend, escorts are your best bet. I use Society Service (societyservice.com) often, and never had a bad time. You get a gorgeous, charming, elegant women, nd they train their girls very well. Can’t recomm them enough. Dita (ditavip.com) is also great if you want crazy porn sex. Both options require you to stay in a 4 star or better hotel, though.

Fun time overall. I’d try it. If you don’t like it, no big loss, and you’ll probably have a lot of fun.

I got £80 for my birthday, what do I get?

>>14188000
Ambre Nuit is my favorite day scent. It’s warm spicy and slightly sweet from the rose...addicting. I feel happy and confident when I wear it.
Fève Délicieuse is very and comforting yummy. Great for dates and things like that. A lot of times I just wear it around the house.
Oud Isapahan is harder to wear. Best for special and formal occasions. Still love it though

>>14188680

What does /fa think of Francis Kurkdjian?

>>14185538
VERSACE IS NIGGER TIER

Hey dudes im going to japan for awhile, anyone ever been to japan and have any suggestions for potential fragrance shops to check out? I know fragrances in general arent popular there from what I understand but I still might try to do a little digging in my free time

>>14183930
Is this flanker worth checking out?

>>14188837
In my experience, the big department stores will have a lot of the common designer stuff, might see a Creed here and there, but for the most part, fragrance is just not a big thing over there.

>>14188571
>>14188574
>>14188578
Based Drakkar. This is going to be polarizing but Dylan Blue is the modern reincarnation of it. Same dihydromyrcenol locker room blast, but it’s just mediterranean in feel instead of alpine.

>>14188864
this. i went to tokyo a few years back and i think fragrances in general are looked down upon. japanese are extremely sensitive to smells (which is why they avoid blacks on the train) but they themselves don't smell at all. even in the dead of summer you smell nothing on them.

>>14186957
>I'd reccomend grabbing one of their $20 sample packs,
Sure, but where? The sample packs I see are $85, 6x3.5ml.

>>14188942
Yup. I remember going to Tokyo Disney Park with my ex one day, it was hot as fuck and we got one of the old trains that didn’t have AC, so everyone was sweating like crazy. No BO smell. None. Read somewhere that Japanese and Koreans have some gene that prevents them from producing BO, not sure how true that is, but they definitely don’t smell.

I think the aversion to fragrance is a cultural thing. Like, the Japanese value harmony, and by wearing fragrance, you’re forcing your smell onto others who may not like it. In Japan, it’s important to think not just about yourself, but how you impact those around you, and anything that may adversely impact those around you is strongly discouraged.

>>14189002
nvm, found the $20 offer.

>>14189020
It's because they're aliens

>>14188808
Why

>>14188942
>>14188864
ya I was gonna say im not hoping for to much. Oh well maybe ill see something interesting at the duty frees I guess then....

>>14186855
Carnal flower is very nice, the orange blossom is really pleasant. You could easily use it as a date scent, but you van also use it as a daily scent. Performance is pretty good but not fantastic, on me it lasts about 6 hours

ultramale a shit. so linear and you can wear it in limited circumstances. smells like you poured 10 pounds of sugar on a pear and then you melted it in the oven

>>14189094
Yeah, it’s worth taking a look, the big department stores are interesting anyway and usually have good restaurants in the food court, there are also a few Japanese niche brands, might be able to find something interesting that’s local. Just don’t count on finding too much.

I believe Le Labo does have a Tokyo exclusive frag.

I'm the guy with an actress /lit/ art hoe gf who loves guys in leather.
Is buying a decant of TL a bad idea? Or do you think she'll appreciate it?

>want to wear something high tier, unique and rather new

>>14189159
Why not get a leather jacket? Maybe she doesn't even like the smell of leather

>>14189245
She likes faux leather so I bought a £40 off amazon and it squeaks like mad.
She loves the sound but I hate wearing it lol

Over the last couple of months, I've encountered a few times some piney/aftershave cologne with a very strong projection and sillage. What it might be? Drakkar?
I assume that it's designer, but for sure not Bottega which came to my mind.

>>14184034
you could just splash yourself with some pickle juice if you want to save money on EN sport.

>>14189205
I mean if that's what you like, that's what you like. Maybe try scents with the same kind of base and profile as one million, just a bit more refined.

Well, fragrance on clothes should last longer than on the skin. Never rub the fragrance. A great tip I got is also spraying in your hair like women do. Getting nice whiffs all the time.
>>14188498
it just smells just like the original one with a little more spice, slightly suited more for spring than summer.
>>14186270
safe buy
>>14186341
the whole line smells very nice, performance is not that great, as every other citrus based fragrance, but you can always just reapply.
>>14188678

He is a great nose, basically starting the sweet men's fragrances trend with JPG Le Male. His house is very memed these days by YT reviewers (Oud Satin Mood and Baccarat Rouge 540).
>>14188837
As other anons said, they do not really appreciate perfumes as in the West. Mostly because they are allergic to almost everything. That being said I did manage to find some while being in Tokyo. You are mostly going to find perfumes in discount stores (based don don quijote) and at big designer houses. I also remember finding a Penhaligon store in one of the (too many) malls in Ginza.
This should help: http://your-perfume-guide.com/tokyo/
>>14189112
haha yes
>>14189205
If you love the smell just use it. But please do not use any in the high summer heat.
>>14189159
>>14189278
She is definitely not going to like tuscan leather. Not really sure why it's memed so hard here. Zoomers are never going to like it. I suggest going for Carolina Herrera CH Men or the Prive one. Guaranteed more s e x .

Bought this as a gift for someone and ended up really liking it. Anyone know any other jasmine-y, but not too fruity scents like this? Already tried the ELdO "Jasmine and Cigarettes" (or something), didn't like the Tobacco notes too much.

>>14188680
>>14188741
thanks I'll get samples of all of them
what style of clothes do you usually wear to the fragrances?

Hello the review anon here who did the zoologist and some Imaginary author. My last one was Cape Heartache, this one is like I said Every Storm a Serenade. Got it sprayed on my arm right now

ESAS: The sailors fragrance. Literally this is what a salty sea dog would wear, in fact its whats he would smell like without this. Salty blast and damp woody. Not quite the woody I am fond of though, some say it smells like a "rotting pier" and I can see that. Anyone who loves the ocean, I dont mean the beach, I mean the ocean, will love this. Very salty and the vetiver and eucalyptus really enhance the salty "sting". You can smell spruce but its on the bench, not playing much. The marine notes are authentic. Smells like dock sea water. It is NOT fishy though if thats what you have in mind. Thought I would like it but its not for me, but any of you costal guys would love this. Wear this to your salty sea saloons.

tldr: Captain Ahab in a bottle

>>14189639
my use of "salty" wasnt for a lack of descriptive vocabulary. Its fucking salty

I'd like to try a frag for spring that's like Kouros with the civet toned way down and the honey ramped up.
Anything resembling a bottle of mead would be ideal!

I want to smell like a Bloodborne hit me with the fucking recs my niggers

>>14189701
Cartier L‘envol. The edt is better than the edp as the honey is way more dry. Really has a mead like vibe and very complimenting floral notes.

>>14189739

>>14189739
Kilian Dark Lord, Beaufort Coeur De Noir/Iron Duke.

>>14189506
I fucking love Don Quijote. Had one right near my hotel, I bought so much random useless shit there and I regret none of it. Most based store on the planet.

>>14189779
Those beaufort frags sound appealing, thanks

>>14189739

>last night dreamt that a girl told me i smell good

my fragrance tism is now becoming skincare tism and it's honestly worse cause expensive skincare shit is even more expensive than expensive fragrances

>>14189853
I'm trying to put off buying niche as long as possible because I know that my autism is boundless, but niche skincare is a rabbithole I didn't consider frags might lead to

My Chameleon and Dodo are supposed to arrive tomorrow!

>>14189867

thankfully i don't give a shit about niche frags cause it reminds me of cringey american hipster craft beers. i think there is overlap in the people that create these indie niche fragrance brands and people that make SKULLFUCKER GALAXY IPA

>>14189897
Sounds like a case of crippling autism to be frank, but I suppose at least it has guided you away from another expensive hobby when it usually causes the opposite.

>>14189639
Nice welcome back Reviewanon. Glad I didnt a sample of this. My roomie says hes really eager to smell it, and his hype got to me after a while, I was planning on pulling that trigger soon but thank you for righting the ship before I did.
>sounds artisanal but no way in hell that would work for me.

>>14189739
Zoologist TRex supposedly has a blood accord.

>>14189541
My style is pretty clean and simple. I wear denim jackets, raw jeans and common projects usually.

fragrance noob here. How important is the season in the 101 chart here >>14183934 ?

Is the original Gucci Guilty an acceptable frag for spring/summer? I have a decant of intense but it's so strong I figured the og could become my signature

>>14189880

Enjoy, if you like put up some thoughts to contrast/compare to the write ups I did (reviewanon). I'd like to see your thoughts and if their is some variance.

>>14189913

Yeah glad I just got a sample. It's interesting but it is raw sea water practically. I fell for a lot of hype too and I imagined something else.

>>14190092
Will do!

Heading to Japan in the summer. What fragrance will best get all their censored pussies moist?

>>14190140
Go for something super loud like Kouros for sure. Make sure to wear AT LEAST 10 sprays. They respect the Chad Miasma over there.

>>14190142
This. Japanese chick LOVE loud and obnoxious frags. The more radiating off you, the better. Trust me breh.

>>14190140
Fragrance One: Tentacle porn for men

>>14190031
Not that bad just be able to control your sprays you put on

>>14189739
Cdg Avignon

This is going to sound pleb of me but sometimes I enjoy the powdery like drydown I detect from Lynx Dark Temptation.
Is there anything soft like that in a stronger, frag form?

>>14190329
Doesnt that smell like dior homme/dhi?

got my decant of 1 million cologne/DHC.
DHC is the frag for me for summer days at work. Going to save it for July and 1 million cologne is light and fresh enough that I'm not repulsed by the 1 million dna. So all in all a pretty decent purchase, given I was unsure about DHC and didn't want to blind buy 1 million since I was polarised on the original...

>>14189514
Interesting, I mostly pick up the tuberose in that fragrance. Best jasmine fragrance IMO is J'adore by Christian Dior. Tom Ford has a more straight forward take on jasmine with Jasmin Rouge. You might also enjoy Aqua Allegoria Jasminora by Guerlain and Bvlgari Jasmin Noir (sweet take on jasmine) and Mugler's Alien (loud ambery jasmine)
>>14190090
The original doesn't have the amber making it a fresh lavender scent. Good for spring and or summer.
>>14190140
Well, disregarding the obvious trolls >>14190142 >>14190156, summer is probably the worst time to visint Japan, depending on where you are visiting it can go from really fucking humid hot (Tokyo area) to really fucking scorched earth hot (Kyoto). It's a little better as you go further up north. That being said I suggest getting really good unscented deodorant and maybe some ultra fresh aquatic fragrances like Versace Pour Homme, Mugler Cologne, AdP Blu Mediterraneo line, Hermes Jardin, Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria, etc.
>>14190329
Dior Homme edp, Valentino Uomo (depending on how strong you want it go with the darker flankers) and Prada L'homme.

>>14190719
Not the anon, but does anybody know which AdP Blue has the best performance?
Maybe taking into account that it should be appropriate for a 26 yo male?

Reminder: Dior is the gayest house. They even have a frag called Dior Homme Eau (Dior Homo).

>>14190840
Dior Homo for Men*

>>14189414
Help!

what do y'all think of 18.21's stuff? I like their hair paste

I love woody scents (all kinds of woody). Got my hands on samples:
AdP Ginepro di Sardegna - you can easily smell it from a far. Performance is maginificent and there are beautiful hints of allspice, nutmeg and juniper. This is a great smell for just wandering around in parks in the evening. Would certainly recommned.
AdP Mirto di Panarea - the first hit is kinda cheap smelling, but if you let it rest it swiftly becomes quite sweet (I personally didn't expect that), like a rose mixed with mirtle. Sadly the mirtle smell is way more subtle compared with the rose. There is also a bit of lemon and jasmine. It feels like an oldfashioned fragrace and I'd chose carefully when to wear it. If used properly though this can land a great impression.

Did anyone ever tried the Boadicea fragrances? I love the tin celtic shields and the general presentation of the brand but cannot get a grip on sample.

>>14186341
I have Ginepro Di Sardegna and I adore it. I think Fico Di Amalfi is nice, but not fresh enough although it lasts the longest. Ginepro seems like the best one in the line for a balance of freshness and longevity. Yours doesn’t last too long on me, but it does smell amazing.

>>14186586
Sample both. I prefer TL vastly, but OL has its fans as well. You might be one of them.

>>14189817
They also have the best theme song ever. That bassline is superb.

https://youtu.be/NM3t2ie6Yzc

>>14189853
You’ll get a lot more out of a good skin care routine than spraying smells on yourself.

>>14191039
I get that and the Yodobashi Camera jingle stuck in my head all the time.

Ok, so, Dodo and Chameleon:

Chameleon, I do get a ton of florals, especially in the opening. I almost smelled like nail polish remover at first, but as it started to dry, the fruit and wood started to come out. I still get florals, especially creamy ylang ylang and frangipani, but I also get a lot of mango, coconut, and starfruit. Very tropical smelling. I get something woody as well, plus that salty “beach skin” smell. Very snice. I definitely see what the people on fragrantica saying they’re smelling banana mean. The combination of the tropical fruit, snices, and creamy florals do smell kind of like banana.

Dodo, I’m getting a lot of berry (almost smells like blueberry) and litchi, with a very snice fougere in the background. There’s also something kind of waxy, almost camphorous there. Not sure what that is, maybe the sandalwood. Very interesting take on a fougere.

Very happy with both. My housekeeper loves Chameleon.

>>14191280
Addendum:

I just figured it out: Dodo kinda smells like those blue gumballs you’d get back in the day. That plus the woods and green notes. I knew it reminded me of something, that was bothering me.

>>14189853
>>14189867
>>14191055
can you guys post skin care 101 tutorials? Recommendations? Anything? thx

>>14191570
Shower, no fast food...thats literally it

Fuck skincare, how do you maximise shower efficiency? Sick of wasting 15 minutes every morning.

>>14191743
Shave your head and beard so you don’t have to waste time with shampoo and conditioner. Then, attach a hose to the faucet and just pump soapy water up your asshole. The soap will be secreted through your pores over the course of the day keeping you nice and clean.

Anyone ever tried this one? This fucker costs literally nothing (about 10 euros for a 75 mL bottle) and goddamn it smells nice. Longetivity isn't the greatest but wow, the smell is great.

Why are people against spraying on clothes? I am serious,every perfume applying advice forbids applying to the clothes but when I apply it I get more compliments than from applying it to the skin.

Is it the staining? I have never had anything stain from a perfume and I spray from the distance it's not like I put the sprayer an inch from clothes.

>>14191796
nobody says that

>>14191743
Shit in hand, throw in toilet and rinse in shower

Has anyone bought from scentsplit? Are they legit?

Out of these four Tom Fords which would you choose?

Cafe Rose
Lys Fume
Fleur de Chine
Vert de Fleur

I'm debating on which one to try next.

Chameleon and Dodo still going strong. Chameleon has gotten more woody, getting a lot of the frangipani. Not a ton of fruit or other florals left. Dodo, I’m getting light, almost powdery wood plus that blueberry “blue gumball” thing.

Loving these. Gonna be great for summer.

What is even the point of wearing fragrances? Girls don't actually care much about then. If a girl is interested in you and you're wearing a fragrance, she'd be interested in you either way. They just seem like a meme to me.

>>14192514
You can say that about any specific thing, but when you add them up they become a factor. It's also fun trying and smelling different fragrances, finding one that suits you etc. It has as much of a point as pretty much anything else looks/presentation related.

>>14192514
Nothing has a point, m8. What’s the point of wearing clothes? You could wear a burlap sack, you’d be fine. What’s the point in jewelry? Or a nice car? There’s no point in any of it. Just enjoy what you enjoy, it’s all memes.

>>14186586
Depends on occasions. OL is better for daily usage and TL is more suitable for evenings out due to stronger projection and overall "sweetness". Also, OL is more masculine and cheaper.
You might also check Oud Saphir and Godolphin.

favorite masculine florals for hot weather?

thoughts on this? tested it and found it nice but cant commit (searching for a cheapie fresh frag)

>>14193495
Smells like a fat asshole on the subway

>>14193507

>>14191832

>>14193495

>>14193495
>cheapie fresh frag
>he hasn't taken the cool pill

Opinions on layering perfumes?
Recently purchased Clive Christian Rock Rose, Magnolia, and Immortelle. I remember the salesperson mentioning that some can be paired and layered but can’t remember which ones. Any suggestions?

>>14191796
I’ve personally never liked the smell of perfume on clothes. When applied to skin, perfume works with your body’s chemistry.
My belief is that your perfume should be your aura not your odor

Is there a way to see all the similar perfumes on fragrantica? I want to find clones of some but they only name 5 in the "This perfume reminds me of" section?

>>14193495
Decent spring frag, but as >>14193533 says it smell like cat piss in summer.
I'd prefer ADG Profumo or Dior Homme Cologne for when it's hot, for night and daytime respectively

>>14193285
Prada l'homme but only up to a certain temperature, it gets cloying otherwise.

Thoughts on this one? Its hard to find a sample where I live.

>>14193723
Amazing fragrance.

Anyone else get a Nutty Putty vibe?

>>14183930
>can't stop trying out frags and buying decants off ebay because the notes look good on fragrantica and I picture the perfect scent for a certain scenario

I bought Invictus a couple months ago, I'm completely noseblind to it now. I can maybe smell it on myself for 30 seconds and then that's it. Is it normal to be noseblind to a fragrance you wear daily?
I was worried it was fake but I got it from Boots so I doubt it is.
Maybe I'm not using enough sprays? I normally do 3 which feels like enough.

>>14193959
Activate the CHAD MIASMA with 9 sprays minimum and you will smell it again

>>14193774
same, had one bottle of burbery and hugo for like over 5 years. came across /fa/ and now every paycheck its a decant or half used bottle from plebbit. i don't normally get 'addicted' to buying things but something about frags, it's like a never-ending goal to find the best one.

tuscan leather smells like an ashtray. i think i got memed. at best, it smells like a leather/suede ashtray

>>14194070
that sounds like a bad idea

>>14194129
Girls love that m8

>>14194140

there's a diff between incense/smokey smell and just straight up cigarette ash. it smelled like a dirty smoker on skin idk. i wanted to like it

>>14194183
I mean, a tobacco smell is often a thing in fragrances. But it shouldn't smell like a dirty smoker so I dunno.

>>14194189

i know lol i own tobacco fragrances. those are usually "wet" or "fresh" tobacco not cig ash.maybe older tuscan leather from closer to 2007 was better than what it is now 12 years later. i know the boxes have different ingredients listed

>>14193959
3 is more than enough. Dont spray close too your face. Take a break for a few days.

>>14194196
You should smell Jasmin et Cigarettes by Etat Libre D'orange. That really does smell like someone chain smoked a million cigarettes and put them all out on a scented candle.

Lads, what's a good masculine scent, something maybe woody, smokey, a touch of sweetness, but unmistakably male.

It'd be for post-work drinks rather than clubbing, so I don't want to reek like a turkish sex offender.

Can anyone recommend me something non-sweet with good performance for summer?

I have mainly fall/winter fragrances and want something fitting for hot weather

>>14194259
CH Men Prive or Bentley For Men Intense.

>>14194264
Grey Vetiver or Guerlain Vetiver?

>>14194264

I recently got a sample of Ichnusa by Profuma Roma, it's quite an understated tropical kind of scent, but more tropical nights that flowery, fruity day smell. Think coconut husks on a camp fire, herby grass, slight sea smell. It's sweet but in a dark, natural way.

Lasts a good while, and the smell develops with time.

I'm looking for DHI S303, if anyone has this and wants to sell let me know

>>14188898

Exactly. Dylan Blue in the 80s

>>14194259

Thinking about getting Dior Homme Intense

Everywhere seems to rate it highly, any anons have experience with it or is it just another memefrag

>>14195018
I have a 3U01. Smells really good but it really is just a hyped of fragrance. The only thing I really like about it is the projection and is longetivity. I think of it as a manly perfume. A dark Iris that’s heavy mixed with a light choclate and powder.

Is there's something wrong with Sauvage?

Opinions on Nautica Voyage?

>>14195162
Not really, but it’s popular, and this is 4chan, so everyone will trash it. If you like it, wear it.

Lalique Pour Homme Equus

I can grab a 50ml of Hommage a L'homme for like £16 with postage. Is it blind buy worthy at that price?

Is this worth a blind buy? Mass replier anon notice me

I wore 3 sprays of Snicebomb today and the slightly warm yet overcast weather suited it perfectly. I tried the Eau Fraiche and that's good for Spring too imo.
Should I bother trying out the Extreme version? Or do I save my cash and sample/buy a bottle of TV?

>>14196415
I have TV and Snicebomb Extreme and in a way I regret it, but also not really. They serve similar purposes but I feel SE is more broadly wearable (going to the shops, a few drinks down the pub, a walk in the countryside), whereas TV is for a nice meal, a slightly more upmarket bar or a special occasion. I wear SE a lot more, but I enjoy TV so much more when I do wear it because it puts a smile on my face every time I get a whiff of it and it really lifts my mood.

Just be careful with TV though because SE can be ok if it warms up a bit, but if TV gets too hot you’ll leave a trail of people choking on the ground.

>>14195162
Nothing at all wrong with Sauvage.
>>14196257
Why would you blind buy it when you can test it at any Sephora or Macy's?
>>14196155
Top notes are present at first spray but wear off quickly. Base notes are the longest lasting and form the foundation of the fragrance. Mid notes are prominent during the heart of the wear duration.

>>14196785
There’s no Sephora’s or Macy’s where I live. Neither in our local retails so that’s why I am asking

Best Tom Fords? I've tried Oud Minerale, and while I love it because it smells like the sea, it doesn't last long and is a bit one-note.

>>14196864
Noir Extreme is best value for money in terms of performance and overall scent for me.

Tuscan Leather is my favourite fragrance but it’s really not for everybody.

Oud Wood is one of the safest in the PB.

Grey Vetiver is amazing but doesn’t always last quite so long.

>>14196873

Tuscan Leather caught my eye, it sounds incredibly masculine and ballsy. How does it work out for you?

>>14196887
You have to be careful with it. Two sprays for subtlety. Three to make your presence known. Four is classed as chemical warfare.

I rarely get compliments from it (but it did get told I smelled sexy by a drunk lady in a pub) but it takes a bit of confidence to wear it. Or if not confidence, not caring that some people may not like it. Some say it smells like an ash tray (I disagree), but once it dries down and the sweetness of the raspberry comes through it’s incredible. Waking up the next morning and burying your nose in to it and it’s 100% raspberry is heavenly.

But it’s expensive and divisive. Samples should be easy to come by but maybe put up a bit of extra money and get a slightly larger sample. I ended up buying three 1ml samples because I couldn’t decide on it.

It’s masculine, it’s sexy, it’s a little bit primal, it’s bold, it’s all the things I’m not, but I’ll be damned if I don’t feel that way wearing it.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! WE NEED A NEW THREAD! WHERE’S BASED CATPOSTER?!

>>14195018
It's probably the best designer iris lipstick frag. If you want to smell like money and s e x go for it.
>>14195162
it's a great fragrance, but it might not be for you. People react differently to certain smells. Yes, it smells synthetic, will you notice it? Probably not, if you ain't got your palate developed and trained with real fragrance oils and compounds you are not going to know what synthetic smells like.
>>14195167
Classic clean green freshy. A staple for the beach, the office or gym. Easy blind buy.
>>14196198
Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca by Guerlain. It has a minty opening that quickly turns into sort of a stinging nettle.
>>14196223
It's sort of like a less heavy Dior Fahrenheit. More clean and subtle. Go for it. Even if you don't like how it smells, the Bottle is just gorgeous!
>>14196257
Only if you like the smell of bar soap. It smells like a very nice slightly, slightly warm balsamic soap. Quite a remarkable scent by Prada. If you can get a small decant or sample I'd go for that instead of really blind buying it. If you are from EU, Notino should have 1ml samples.
>>14196864
My favorite so far: Black Orchid, Plum Japonais, Lost Cherry and Tobacco Vanille. The Blue bottles are also mostly hit for me as well. Tom Ford is definitely a designer that you have to smell and wear a lot. On the plus, TF boutiques are really nice.
