Please rate my small collection.
Currently wear Eau Sauvage and Kouros the most.

>>14224058
l'envol edp is one of my favorite frags of all time. so, so good.

>>14224067
Yupp, own the EdT, it’s awesome. Beautiful floral and honey notes. More than 3, spritzers get annoying though, as the meady and dry honey turns somewhat bitter and artificial.

>>14224058
Eau de Cedre sounds really nice from the note list. What ocassions do you wear it on? Is it too strong for summer?

Eros or Ultra male??What about both?

>>14224190
Tried it in a department store, went online and everybody was shittalking it. However, I didn’t find anything remotely resembling it.
Decided to ignore that haters a few weeks ago and do not regret it a bit. You get the cedar and the leather right away as well as some black tea. Despite the wood and leather it wears fairly fresh. I guess you can wear it ins summer if it’s not too hot. But that’s something I actually wonder about.

Probably gonna want to add one other summer fragrance. Thinking about TdH Vetiver Intense or AdP Chinotto. Does anyone have recommendations that complement my collection?

>>14224222
Something like Guerlain Vetiver?

Is TdH too mature smelling for a mid 20's zoomer in an office environment?

Red pill me on pic related. Girls told me it’s good.

poorfag here
which one of these three should i get?

https://www.notino.de/jaguar/vision-iii-eau-de-toilette-fur-herren/
also first time psting in a /Fragrance/ thread

>>14224058
Classy as fuck other than the Versace. Could easily replace that with something like Roma Uomo or Creed OS/ MB Individuel and achieve the same effect

Hi friends last thread I ask, but not get good answer, so ask again. What perfume is good for make my slaves wear? I have man and woman

>Dior Homo for Men

>>14224490
Kouros

>>14224332
Look at this http://pastebin.com/VX6RDpm6

Then come back to us. For the Klein, something from the One series would probably be a better (cheaper?) option.

>>14224547
Kouros I think on woman is not too good

>>14224631
Whatever. Asking such a retarded question lmfao

>>14224645
Why is retarded? Here everyone have slave. I want slave to smell nice like if you have furniture want it to look nice, right?

>>14224648
Please learn to speak proper English, faggot

>>14224648
Weak bait, go back to Baghuz or Alabama

Best smoky scent for a woman?

Literally only threads I come to /fa/ for. Love you guys.

Right, to business. What's the word on By Killian's Back to Back Aphrodisiac? I got their Black Phantom sample and it was a beast but def a winter frag. Anyone tried B2BA?

My smell of the moment is Tom Ford Oud Minerale. Like a handful of beach on your neck, goes great with cold spring mornings.

>>14224031
Waiting for payday so I can buy some Aventis off PF.

Really did like Ultramale when I tried it in store though, will be looking to buy that too.

>>14224683
I’m sorry! I am from Qatar!

>>14224693
Not bait, people come here, not pay debt, can buy them as slaves now. All here have slave.

>>14224058
Versace is meh but otherwise good and classic

>>14224273
It is but also overplayed. I would avoid but if you don't mind that it is popular, go for it. Or buy perry ellis 360 red, it's the same if not better.

>>14224778
I love Back to Black. It’s sort of a Tobacco Vanille sort of scent, but much snicier, has a gingerbread accord, as well as other snices, plus raspberry, and a very snice honey note. You do have to really like honey, though, as it’s quite prominent.

Kind of reminds me a bit of a mix of Dior Feve Delicieuse and TV. Very much worth trying, but also very much a winter scent. Quite heavy and very good longevity, as well.

Why is this so forgotten? I remember couple years ago, L'instant was hyped like top tier shit it is. Weak formulation?

>>14224058
>Eros Flame
OH NO NO NO NO NO HAHAHAHA

Is this perfume /fa/?

>>14224967
L'intense de Guerlain extrême is good

>>14224967
I have a tester bottle of the recent formulation (EdP)
Not weak at all, still fantastic.

>>14224273
I hated it. Smells cheap and watery. Don't buy it. Shit's gay.

So creed aventus is still the most /fa/ men’s perfume?

recommend something I can wear all year if I like green Irish Tweed, chanel platinum egoiste and terre de Hermes. masculine but not loud, with preferably good longevity. also I wear T-shirt and jeans usually

>>14225228
green irish tweed

Any frag that fits the Burberry aesthetic? Or something that'll match the look of the tartan mixed with jeans and a Teddy jacket?

Recently bought this and I'm very satisfied. Reminds me of a mojito

I want to smell like fucking blood, what's on the docket?

>>14225286
Secretions Magnifique. Smells like fucking blood.<div class="like-perk-cnt">&#x1F603;</div>

For what its worth I got back from japan.

In general indeed there was almost 0 fragrances.. Like literally almost 0. Generally the only thing I saw was Chanel and Guerlain. Almost nothing zip nada of any other brand period..

Duty free was pretty empty as well besides stuff normal stuff youd see in any store, expect they did have some serge luten stuff which I do not regularly see even at niche places here in the us.

>>14225328
Thank you for the update, fren. Have a like!<div class="like-perk-cnt">&#x1F603;</div>

>>14224967
probably lost in all in Guerlain rebranding and repackaging (e.g., uniform bottle design among all the scents)

LIDG became L'Instant de Guerlain pour homme eau de toilette
LIDGE became L'Instant de Guerlain pour homme eau de parfum

i have L'Instant de Guerlain edp and it's still a beast

>>14225367
>lost in all in Guerlain rebranding and repackaging
>has the same fucking name

>>14225286
olivier durbano heliotrope

No response in the last thread...

Does anybody here have any TFPB aside from the usual culprits like Tobacco Vanille, Tuscan Leather, Oud Wood etc.?

Although I’d like Tobacco Oud, I’m thinking maybe I should go for one of the popular ones and go for something less we’ll known.

Thinking about blind buying The Beat and CK One Shock since they're both £20 including shipping

>>14224215
ultra male and eros have the same niche, for clubbing and parties basically, but ultra male is more intense. Sweeter, more feminine, but people really like it so whatever. On the other hand, it's much heavier, so you might prefer eros for summer nights

>>14225483
People like ck one shock

>>14225483
>>14225494
Shock’s aight. Smells cheap, like candy, but it’s a decent dumb reach. Most people will like it, I think.

>>14224967
>Why is this so forgotten? I remember couple years ago, L'instant was hyped like top tier shit it is. Weak formulation?
No, it just had its moment in the sun and is part of the furniture now, just like how you don't have people constantly hyping Habit Rouge.

The formulation is fine, in both concentrations they are very nice, balanced scents. I prefer the EdT. The EdP can be a little heavy when the weather starts to get warmer.

>>14225436
I have Bois Marocain. It's a woody incense, spicy and smoky, lots of cedar and cypress, and a pleasant vetiver. I've never smelled it anywhere other than on me.

It's starting to get warm out in the Northern Hemisphere and this is a definite winter fragrance.

Habit rouge or habit rouge dress code?

>>14225550
I did not like Dress Code. It's a ham fisted attempt to modernize Habit Rouge and still stay true it its DNA.

Regular Habit Rouge EdT is great.

Now, Habit Rouge EdP is more interesting. It's a much better attempt at an HR flanker. Thickened up with an oud note.

>>14225549
Thanks, I’ll give it a try. How’s the Vetiver compared to Grey Vetiver? That’s the only Vetiver scent I like. I couldn’t stand it in Encre Noire.

>>14225572
>I couldn’t stand it in Encre Noire.
The vetiver in Encre Noire was fine, it was the ISO E Super and cashmeran overdoses that make it intolerable for a lot of people.
The vetiver in Bois Marocain is very clean-smelling but still earthy/rooty. It goes well with the incense and woods. Grey Vetiver uses an extremely light and fresh vetiver. If they'd used an earthier vetiver for GV is would have smelled out of whack.

I recommended that other guy to get Yatagan as a dry-woody frag without actually smelling it (kek) and I just got mine in the mail as a blind buy earlier today. I don't regret it at all. It smells like a freemason lodge in the pacific northwest. Pine, mint, bud and some extreme woodiness.

OUT OF THE WAY, PLEBS

>>14225598
Yes! That stuff is the shit. I fucking love the celery opening note.

>>14225436
I love Neroli Portofino, but the performance is too poor to recommend it, especially given its price.

could i get some opinions on the following scents. i've sampled each, liked them very much, and plan on copping one of these for summer, but i'm stuck as to which one:

Guerlain Homme eau de parfum
Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza
Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Cedro di Taormina

>>14225685
The Guerlain. The AdPs smell nice for about ten minutes, then they're gone. The longevity for the price is insulting.

>>14225483
From where?

>>14225744
Really? Because I own Essenza and that shit lasts all day easy. The blu scents, yeah, they don’t last at all, but Essenza is legit.

>>14225825
I could only be so lucky. I have dry as fuck skin, maybe that's it, but no AdP ever lasts for me.

>>14225744
i found both Cedro and Essenza to last decently though, but i get the complaint in general against AdP since i got middling longevity out of most of their other scents i've tried (perversely, I found colonias Pura, Club, and Intensa Leather, to last the longest, but those are easily my least favorite from the house by a good margin)

>>14225685
I like the Guerlain over the AdP's on their own merit. The Homme EdP has a really unique rhubarb-lime-mint thing that's perfectly fresh and summery and doesn't have the same neroli-citrus-bergamot that every summer cologne-type fragrance has.
And even if you want a cologne-type, Mugler Cologne is a lot more interesting.

AdP's colognes are generally balanced and natural-smelling but they're just not that interesting to me because they're based on a style that's centuries old at this point.

Where can I go for free frag samples?

I used to get little vials of stuff in the mail. Like little 1ml

What's an evil frag that's more summer/spring based? The CDG Black of warm weather.

>>14224031
Is my taste shit?

Burberry Brit is over 10 years old, hewood was a $5 pickup from yoox shipped. Clearance and the varvatos were a gift.

Ivet been sampling margielas but they're feminine

Redpill me on Diptyque

>>14225967
Great house. They have no bad scents. Tam Dao is one of my favorite scents ever. Can’t go wrong. Nice bottles, too.

>>14225930
Fragrance One: Edgelord for Men

>>14225979
Do I make fun of you for rubbing sweat scented arab oils behind your knees for three hours only for everybody at the office to make fun of how bad your taste in frags is? No. Check yourself son.

>>14225967
Based house, almost have sampled it all. What you wanna know anon?

>>14225984
Fragrance One: Burn Ward for Men

>>>14213639

the dreamer is absolute;y amazing.

Jerememe is not meming for once. Versatile, distinctive but not too heavy. I sometimes wear it before going to bed or just to chill,cause its so nice.

For such a mainstream frag its also realtively individualistic and dinstict, ie it doesnt smell like so many other things.

WTF IS THIS LIKE SHIT
REEEEE

>>14224273
Profumo is just superior

still a SEX frag

>>14226078<div class="like-perk-cnt">&#x2764;&#xFE0F;</div>

>>14225947
You spent almost nothing and its better than some collections I've seen here.

>>14225967
Echoing the other 2. Everything smells very natural, well blended, high quality. Love their scents and their aesthetic. Need to reup on TD and cop a bottle of Tempo - it can wait till fall at this point though.

They have a few popular scents but I'd still say its an underrated house.

>>14225902
Sephora, Ulta, Macys if you are a pleb.
Nordstom, Neiman Marcus, Saks if you have taste.

>>14225228
Sycomore

scent split is another place to get samples.

heres a 15% off code EMFL-J8BC-0KT8

>>14225328
I'm in Japan. Most men do not wear cologne and there is no culture of wearing it to work and the like. If they do wear its very light and only in casual situations (ie dates). Lots of perfume are unisex and can be found in department stores cosmetic sections, but usually stuck to that stores shit.

There was one place in Shinjuku I found that had some options for mens, particularly they had all of Heeley's stuff. I think it was Isetan. Wish I could remember, I just walked all over Ginza yesterday trying to sample shit and found nothing, nothing that I was looking for anyway.

Step aside, weaklings.

>>14226504
Im a fan of skin scents and wear a lot of wood based fragrances so I've been dying to try Guiac 10 by Le Labo which is their Tokyo exclusive. I wonder if its at all popular there, because they did seem to design it around Japan's more reserved approach to perfume.

>>14226498
gtfo shill

>>14225967
diptyque is based as fuck. also one of the oldest niche houses but still underrated imho. they have probably the best aesthetics of any other house and i love looking and holding their bottles. i currently own tempo, tam dao edt, philosykos edt, and oud palao edp, all fucking amazing scents. i can't say enough good things about them, and are probably my favorite house all things considered. if you can, get to a boutique and sniff away.

What is the best of these for compliments?

Give Burberry Brit a shot.

What would the Driver wear?

>>14224031
DH, Valentino Uomo or DHI?

>>14226707
What is it like?

>>14226726
Seeing as he wore a Patek dress watch in the movie, which was supposedly his father's, I would imagine he wore his father's cologne too.
Something slightly fussy and from the 60's, maybe Monsieur de Givenchy. Maybe something more traditional like Pour un Homme de Caron.

>>14226747
Valentino Uomo Intense.

>>14226699
Chad miasma

>>14226747
DHI.

I prefer the opening of VUI but the drydown of DHI is heavenly.

There is a distinct feeling of dread upon hearing my foot stomps.

I am convinced that people who hate on drakkar noir never actually smelled it, they just like to repeat lame jokes (you smell like a russian/balkan/black man) when in fact people liked it when I didn't tell them and said that it smells soapy and masculine.

>>14226887
I totally agree. People just meme post about it. Some girl I know even brought it up saying it's really good. Plus it will stand out too, the vast majority of people no longer know what it is or what it smells like.

>>14226887
>>14226914
Why the stigma? I've heard people describe it as sweat,sleaze and cigarettes and they called it disgusting when it's a scent that smells like shaving foam. They also have to mention some sort of an 80s muscle car or a rock band in case they are making fun of an american or in case they are making fun of someone european wearing it, a criminal activity

The best frag I ever smelled was unironically a random Abercrombie spray I found sitting on a bench in a gym.

>>14226920
I'm very into fragrances and have been for many years and get opinions from all kinds of women. I've never heard anyone described a fragrance as sleaze, nor would younger girls know to even associate a fragrance to the 80s.

The whole 80s sleaze thing is a meme. Yeah I can imagine some 55 year old women saying that if she was around at that time and some guy hit on her in a club wearing tons of it but other than that, nope.

There are niche frags shilled here all the time based on the niche status and price. yes, Tuscan leather that smell 100% more cigarettes than Drakkar ever could.

Lots of niche frags are not mainstream sweet/aquatic and don't have mass appeal so technically they would be in the same category as Drakkar but people put them ahead once again based solely on the "niche" status of them. It's not based on anything other than that.

Lots of popular frags have 80s era Drakkar roots too and new frags can have much older inspiration (i.e. basically a copy) which all adds up to the "Drakkar smells like sleaze/old man etc." being a meme.

>>14226877

Drakkar was a joke on Family Guy, so every zoomer makes fun of it without ever smelling it. I used to wear it to work a lot when it was cooler out and a slightly older woman always said how good I smelled and that she swooned for guys that wore Drakkar when she was in high school. I might wear some today desu, but I’ve been really enjoying Pino Silvestre since I got it with Yatagan yesterday so i may just wear that instead.

>>14225967
i wish they didn't discontinue volutes edt ;_;

>>14227069
To be honest, Drakkar Noir then and now is not the same scent. I had a chance to try out the original formulation and it was insane, so piney and masculine, it had a real aftershavy smell if that makes any sense. I bought a new bottle of Drakkar and now it just smells like shaving foam and it doesn't have the longevity.

>>14227104
Yeah it's been reformulated BUT it's so cheap nowadays that there's no reason not to own it. I only have the newer version. For the most part, trying to get vintage bottles is useless IMO. You have to go through a minefield of fakes, ripoff price gouging, etc to finally get a cologne that just smells old with dissipated top notes.

I was wracking my brain for the last few months trying to find a vintage Fahrenheit, only to finally sample it and realize that my 2016 bottle smells better and fresher since the top notes are actually still intact. Vintage hunting can be fun but ultimately it's a waste of time and sanity.

>>14227104
>>14227122
Al Rehab Dakar is more what the original Drakkar smelled of. Pick up a 50ml bottle of it for around 4 dollars (USD)

>>14227140
I have the roll on oil but I don't know how to apply it correctly,but it smells amazing.

>>14227155
Well you just kind of rub it on your neck? Still, I don't like oils. Greasy, long lasting and strong but not projecting.

You can always mix the oil with some perfumers alcohol to create an actual edt etc.

>>14227140
I would get it but I don’t support Arab brands, and especially not clones anymore.

>>14227194
Why not clones? The more people purchase clones, the end result should be the lowering of prices on a handful of massively overpriced fragrances. Same with piracy.

I would pay for the legit Drakkar if it wasn't reformulated.

Hi, I am new to these threads and just learning. I really went overboard at Xmas with my girlfriend buying her gifts so she said she would make my Birthday really special. She got me this 3 fragrances. I was only expecting 1, wow! They look fantastic, any thoughts of them?

Considering picking up Invictus Aqua 2018 for a summer freshie for my time off and shopping on weekends, at the beach etc. Is it strong enough to wear in the autumn/winter too?

>>14225947
Bruh, I got a sample of that d2 wood. Shit was WAY too overpowering for me. Straight up turned me into a block of cedar.

>>14227203
>The more people purchase clones, the end result should be the lowering of prices on a handful of massively overpriced fragrances. Same with piracy.
and lol, when has piracy ever had that effect?

anyways, most notable clones are copies of high-end niche perfumes. those are luxury items, and their intended market is not the guy who would have second thoughts dropping $250+ on a bottle. those prices are not coming down.

>>14227237

>>14227242
We're talking about clones of $20 downmarket classic frags lol

>>14226699

Thoughts on Cuir Cavalier?

Adore it very much. Unlike anything i've ever smelled.

anyone here who ordered fragrance one? did it arrive?

Thoughts on TDH (edt) as a daily frag for a 26yo uni student?

>>14227385
i wouldn't wear it daily, but it's one of my all time favorites. this is a "business meeting" frag. you wear this for when you want people to take you seriously.

>>14227385
it's fine, pretty nondescript and versitile but a touch dressy or fussy (just a touch). i personally don't think it's too serious or mature.

>>14226584
I am both if those posts. Not shilling,
That site was the cheapest of the w ir 3 sites that have samples i was looking for and ships internationally

>>14227540
Will do. Though, I mean, we already kinda know how it will smell given the note list (and let’s face it, we all knew Jeremy was gonna make a generic fresh, clean, ambroxan bomb even before we had the notes).

What kind of Chad Miasma would suit me?

Complete pleb here: When exactly do you wear parfume?
Of course, there are the obvious occassions like when eating at a nice restaurant or something like that.
I assume you don't wear any while working out or jogging. But do you wear any at work, even if it's just a desk job with little customer contact? While shopping for groceries?

Is it just something for special occasions?

>>14227694
Oh yes true, I just assume if they smell something they don't like on an older guy it might put them off but if it's a young fragrance they might find it attractive and be willing to give the older guy a shot.

I would think if they are into older guys smelling older is ok but if they are not sure, it could turn them off.

I usually wear 4711 because the Germans wore it in WW2 and it doesn't really get any more masculine than that.

ouch. glad it's still cheap here.

Poorfag here, for summer has anyone used Ferrari Noble Fig or Jaguar performance?

>>14228182
Smelling like money and letting others know how much money you spent to smell that way (with their popular frags like Aventus, Millesime Imperial, GiT, etc). Literally the Rolex of fragrances. Most of their shit is pretty safe and crowd-pleasing. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

>>14229477
Interesting. Been looking for a woody summer frag. What notes do pick up in it?

>>14229484
Mostly fig, fig leaf and some woods. It is green woody and balsamic i'd say. If you know Phylosikos, it's that but subdued and more elegant.

>>14225598
Cheeky bastard. Anyway, that review is compelling.

Here's my order, feel it might be a little more chancy than my summer order where I bought two that I tried and liked and Encre Noir based on the original. I'm only ordering Havana because I haven't had the heart let go of this dead tropical trend yet.

I'm searching for something that smells like a damp, cool summer night in the country. Grassy, piney, dirty, wet.

>>14229870
Budget?

>>14229870
Try Encre Noire Sport, though it's much more woody instead of piney.

>>14229870
Yatagan

I love fresh lemon frags and I feel that an upclass scent for summer (waiterfag) would be nice.

Boring as all hell. Smells like paint.

I'm going to try some Prada frags, since the design of their ready to wear stuff, belts and wallets etc appeal to me.
Which ones do I grab samples/5ml decants of?

Done. Or maybe it's harder but I doubt it.

>>14231296
I don't want to buy essential oils, I want to obtain them directly from raw material.

>>14231310
Probably not worth doing. You’d need a massive amount of materials to create a useful amount of extract. Probably much more expensive than just buying frags.

Opinion on CK one anons?

>>14230814
I love Do Son, I think I like the edt just a bit more than the edp. Probably my favorite scent I've tried. I'll probably order a tester for Olene to see how it compares

>>14226584
I didnt even see a le labo while I was in tokyo.. Litterally there was almost 0 stuff anywhere. The only designer period stuff I saw let alone niche was generally chanel. No Dolce and gabanna or anything like that.... and for niche stuff again pretty much nothing but some guerlian stuff.

Oh you know speaking of japan one thing I thought was interesting there is most deff a smell to japan. Im not sure if they have some sorta cliche fabric softner or cleaning agent they use for things. But there is a very cliche smell to japan that is almost EVERYWHERE.

How much are summer/winter frags a real thing? Can I keep on wearing my La Nuit in the SF Bay Area summer?

Looking at the Spongebob fragrances on Fragrantica. Surely people must be joking about the Sillage and longevity ratings, right?

>>14232689
The fragrance police will come and get you.

>>14232689
I’m of the opinion that summer fragrances can be worn all year but winter should be reserved for the winter. Versace Pour Homme won’t perform in the cold like it will in the heat, but won’t choke people out. Wearing four sprays of Tobacco Vanille in the high heat will leave a collapsed heap of people everywhere you go.

>>14232260
Encre Noire Sport

I don't like overspraying my perfume so I usually do two sprays. My question is this, is it better to do two sprays at once, or do one spray then reapply at the same spot 3-4 hours later?

Can I safely blind buy CDG BlackPepper if I love Wonderwood and pepper rich frags such as Spicebomb?

I have a stupid question but why does fragrance smell different in the store? For example I was in Zara and I sprayed Vibrant Leather and the scent was with me all day. I bought it and sprayed it and now I can barely feel it.

>>14232869
It doesn't matter because nobody will smell you either way.

>>14232944
People have smelled me from one spray,but it was within the 2 hours of applying it.

>>14232947
That answers your question then.

>>14232920
i've read a shit ton of testimonials on basenotes and fragrantica that testers that sit around used with a good portion of the bottle used up will preform better because of oxygen getting into the bottle. have no idea about the science behind this or whether it's even true, but i have noticed when i first use a frag they preform okay, and when i get around to using it again about a month or so later they seem to preform like a champ.

>>14232983
Your guess is as good as mine.

I sprayed Vibrant Leather on the top of my hand an hour ago and it's a skin scent. When I tried it the first time (also sprayed on the top of my hand) it lasted a couple of hours.


I just want to smell good but this shit is like a science,figuring out where to spray and how many sprays and the longevity and the sillage.

Just watched the latest Jeremy video (filmed a video on a date...) and I’m glad to see VPH still getting praise. My first fragrance and I still love it.

Are there ANY cheaper or extremely similar alternatives to Creed Silver Mountain Water? It just smells so good

>>14233096
Al wisam day is excellent. I use it more than my smw.

>>14233096
This.

Perfume strength and just a couple of dollars.

>>14233096
Smw is a musk bomb for me and I think it's amazing just like the musk in other creeds like aventus. Al wisam day is much less musk and a lot more of the other stuff, a lot of people say it's reformulated including the guy I sold mine to saying he was buying 10+ bottle of the old stuff. There's something sharp in it I dont like compared to smw.
Al rehab silver. Haven't tried but reviews say it's either garbage or praise it like it's godlike. Im inclined to believe the former but it's dirt cheap.
Sun java white. I want to try this one if I ever find it.

>>14233007
>filmed a video on a date...

Fragrance One: Narcissism for Men

Right, so to round off my small collection, I need an evening dinner/date night scent. Nothing too formal or polarising.
I was thinking of saving up and trying some TF or even Creed, maybe something like TV or even OS.
But on the budget end of the scale what about The One EDP or even Burberry Brit? I do like the ginger/rose combo in L'homme Ultime but that's strictly a work frag for me..

>>14232910
there are no safe blind buys.

>>14233465
Check out CH Men Prive for a budget option

Everyone likes The One, but I think it smells too boozy, which I don't like. What do you think of La Nuit?

Is Sauvage (EDT) still worth it in 2019?Am already planning to buy Versace Dylan Blue which I have heard is even better and it's like a mix of sauvage+bleu de chanel

>>14234126
Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel are miles ahead of Dylan Blue. Go for either of those ones.

>>14234181
Very well then,is it worth spending 10 euros more for the EDP Sauvage?

>>14234216
Naw, I like the edt more. Although in truth I smell it on every other guy wearing a frag

>>14233604
I reall like La Nuit but it barely lasts 3 hours on me

>>14234126
Don't listen to this guy
>>14234181

Dylan Blue actually has some interesting accords (patchouli, incense, fig, violet leaf), it's basically a stinky 80s fougere masquerading as ambroxan fuccboi shit. Save your money and get the Dylan Blue.

If you want the real version, just get Kouros and stop fucking around with zoomer frags.

>>14234258
Dude,I already have Kouros,Dylan Blue and Sauvage in my "to buy" list.

Last time I tried Eros was about 2 years ago, in the middle of August (it was on display and the bottle looked nice) when I was starting out with frags.
I found it powerfully sweet and a little nauseating, however thinking back on it, it's something i'd like to rediscover.
Do I sample on skin at the local perfume store, or since I know the scent is it fine to just buy a bottle and use it when it won't be cloying?

>>14234320
It's literally at any place that sells perfume. Go test it.

>>14234320
Test it. Maybe your memory doesn’t serve you as well as you think, or perhaps your tastes have changed. I used to love Hugo Boss Bottle Night, and for nostalgia reasons, I still have a soft spot for it, but it’s nowhere near as enjoyable for me as it used to be.

>>14234247
don't know if the weak performance is a meme but i get a full day's wearing with my current formulation la nuit. not that i'd need it to be a strong frag anyway as i only use it for dates/fucksessions. bitches love this shit.

>>14234473
La Nuit to entice people in, Tuscan Leather on the chest for when the shirt comes off.

>>14233995
Kek. I usually shit on fragrantica because they allow so many reviews of people that clearly haven't sniffed it, but this is good. Also I'm a dummy and didn't realize the balloons were frag review clout.

>>14234031
Now that Slumberhouse is back and not exclusive it aint cool anymore because you plebs can get it for retail and not 50% over.

>>14234478
lol, not a big fan of tuscan leather, but my sex frags are la nuit, kouros, paco rabanne pour homme and kiehl's original musk. these smell unbelievable when sweaty as fuck, blowing some bitch out.

>>14234496
oh, and velvet teddy by mac.

>>14233676
after someone told me it smells like baby wipes i dont like it anymore

Goddamn it, why can't VPH last more than an hour and half? It's such a fuckin great scent, but the longevity sucks ass. Please recommend something similar but that'll last hours upon hours on me.

Would you guys buy a BBQ-scented cologne for summer?

Its cheap enough where you could literally put it in a travel atomizer, bring it with you, and spray every 2-3 hours desu

Also from the same perfumer (Annick Menardo) try Roma Uomo. It's a (nowadays) obscure fresh oriental, kind of the predecessor to Bleu de Chanel with it's grapefruit, mint, geranium, woody amber accords.

I have been experimenting with my colognes by spraying the two on my hands and checking for longevity. Is it normal that within the hour they turn into skin scent?

What frag would you say reminds you of a zebra pattern?

>>14235728
Good man.

>>14233676
Wore that all through my college years, loved it, girls loved it.
Didn't wear it for six years, tried it again and it was impossibly sweet.

Probably best for younger people, would be my guess.

What is up with Ultra Male? At first I hated it but now it kinda reminds of Lemale and I like it.

I wear these two together. That's all. 2 sprays of OW, 1 of TV. Compliments all day long.

>>14236131
Wish I'd picked up on it sooner

Are there any vintage fragrances that don't smell like old man frags?
I'm talking about stuff, for lack of a better term, for the well-dressed gentleman.

I've tried Guerlain's Heritage, Caron's 3rd Man, and Creed's Bois du Portugal but they all smell like a grandfather. Not bad, mind you, just out of place on a guy in his late 20s.

I'd like a sweet, but not too sweet evening frag for winter, dates with my gf etc.
Do I cop Eros and just go light with the sprays? Or would Code Profumo or even Ultra Male be a better option? Have tried all three and Eros is the one I like best, but it might be too overpowering...

>>14236294
>sweet, but not too sweet evening frag for winter
Try Robert Graham Valour. It flies under the radar but it's exactly what you're describing.

>>14236248
Try Pour Un Homme de Caron. It's from the 30s so it's as vintage as it gets. It actually still smells kind of modern, since it's a fairly simple formula.
It starts with a sharp, bracing lavender and settles down into an ambery vanilla. That's about it.

It's got none of that patchouli-tonka-cedar base that you're probably equating with old-man fougeres.

>>14224031
Pour moi? C'est Cool Water.

>>14236193
Oud wood is the best TF fragrance, much better than other Ouds. Tobacco Vanille.. not so much. I hate that.

>>14236248
>Are there any vintage fragrances that don't smell like old man frags?
Honestly, no, not really. Modern fragrances _tend_ towards soapy freshness, even heavy fuckers like first formulation M7 have a clean-smelling amber accord to offset the (strange for the time) medicinal oud scent.
Old fragrance formulae generally don't have that.

Based on what you've tried though, I think it's just that you maybe don't like old style aromatics/fougeres. (sample Azzaro Pour Homme or Paco Rabanne Pour Homme and see if you get the same reaction from them.)

That said, though, >>14236339 is a pretty good idea. If you're comfortable with its dandy-ness you may also want to try Habit Rouge, which is similarly vanilla-heavy but has a smoky, leather thing going as well.

Has anyone tried pic related?
I can't find it anywhere yet.

>>14236598
No, it's better than NP.

>>14236516
I bought a bottle of OW after falling in love with a sample... but idk, it feel like its not quite the same - it has more skankiness, which might just mean the oud is more prominent, but it seems almost like a bad skin reaction. The top is as amazing as I remember, but the base is kinda stinky. I'll keep wearing it and let it maturate through the summer but might end up reselling it.

Do we really have to go through this again, faggot? Get the fuck out of here. No fragrance you enjoy would exist if it weren't for Cool Water. It's literally revolutionary and I'd put money down you've never even wore it.

Don't post in the next thread either. Cuck.

bvlgari black and jazz club smell great on women

patchouli 24 for something more daring

Best scent for 26khv incel? Nothing too overwhelming but leaves a lingering scent. Need something for humid wet climate. I don't want to smell fruity or smokey

Kristo?

Might look into it, I guess it's similarly guess but NP's longevity for the price is pretty dire

>>14237267
similarly gutless* don't know what happened there

>>14236598
Nah, I think NP is a little more lemony but Essenza beats it on everything else.

I get better performance out of Mugler Cologne than I do NP. It’s a shame how the TFPB fragrances like Tuscan Leather and Oud Wood are among my favourites of all time, and yet the clean, fresher fragrances from the same line are the worst performing fragrances I’ve tried.

>>14237313
Those are two scent each applications, he's asking which of the three option is best...

>>14237267
I’ve tried both. Essenza I ended up buying, NP is one I’ll buy a little sample of every now and then, but even that’s a little pointless.

If you’re curious, the original Colonia is good too, but it’s quite dated. If you like the idea of smelling like a 50s barbershop/Cary Grant looks love it, but Essenza has a bit more depth and feels a little more modern. I’d still recommend trying both though. Colonia has been popular for 100 years so it must do something right.

>>14236193
Currently in love with tuscan leather, so I'm gonna try these tom fords next.

>>14237345
I have those two plus TL and I’m hoping to get Tobacco Oud next (although part of me wants one of the lesser known PB fragrances). I love them all, but OW is the only one to get me a compliment.
