is aventus really a mudslime frag?

How good is Davidoff's Coolwater to GIT?

Is Versace Eros a 'tryhard' scent?

Sauvage parfum or toilette?

Is there a good list of signature scents you guys can list? I'm heading into my 20s and needa start looking.

>>14248986
literally no normal people can detect which fragrance is which by scent alone, so nobody will think its tryhard they'll just think you smell far better than the average autist

>>14248986
No, but being worried that the scent you’re wearing is tryhard is tryhard.

>>14248983
It's better: https://frompyrgos.blogspot.com/2014/10/getting-turins-opinion-on-cool-water.html

>>14248981
If you're from New York or a highly populated western European city yes, anywhere else no

>>14248986
No, but it's definitely cucked to wear anything Versace.

>Dior Homo for Men

>*blocks your path*
wat do?

>>14249094

*unsheaths katana*

>>14246808
If you don't mind, could you elaborate on why you don't like the Versace? It's the one that I was most excited for.

I kinda really want this.

What#s the difference between sauvage parfum and toilette?

>>14249170
nothing because they both belong in the toilet

>>14249126
do it

OP based as fuck. now we just need props for Fazzolari, Filippo Sorcinelli, Gardoni

Preliminary shopping cart. Gonna explore some green/tea/floral scents for summer. Anything I should add/remove?

Might cut the 2 Hermes fragrances, might cut Tea for Two cause I'm only looking for summer scents.

>>14249278
Of course

>>14249282
which site is that? been meaning to try the Hermessence line but my regular shop doesn't carry them

>>14249299
the perfumed court. huge selection.

Bought this one : Versace Dylan Blue.
What do you think ?

Best UK sample site?

How risky is it to wear something like Interlude to a trip to the theatre or a date?

>>14249791
Very risky, I did it once and the restaurant got swatted mid dinner. The waitress thought I was a terrorist and called the police. She later apologized, apparently her dad was in the army and used to teach her to trust her nose for signs of danger, something smelled fishy she said. Unfortunately I didn't ask her if she literally meant Interlude smelled like fish or if it was just a figure of speech.

>>14249776
unironically good with great performance.

>>14249776
What DO YOU think?I am planning to buy it because I heard it competes very well with Sauvage and Bleu De Chanel while at the same time being cheaper

Is there a fragrance that smells like fresh cut grass?

>>14248986
exactly the opposite

>>14249958
Polo green

>>14248989
eau savage

>>14249958

The original CH Men with the red ribbon has an amazing grass note

Am I fine with getting a bottle of Eternity Aqua, since it's similar to Polo Blue, or should I save up a little more and simply buy a bottle of Polo Blue?

How do you get the most out of weak cologne?

>>14250168
By pouring it down the sink.
You're better off wearing no scent than smelling like garbage.

>>14249170
Parfum has some vanilla and is a bit more subtle overall. Toilette is bright and sweet. They're not profoundly different. EDT is better for young people, Parfum is good if you're 30 plus. However, if you're 30 plus you should probably buy a better perfume.

What would be a good store to find a decent variety of masculine/unisex fragrances to try on? Department stores I've checked out in my area all have a pretty underwhelming selection.

>>14250185
Sephora, Ulta or Nodstrom?

>>14250009
This one?

Would anyone be able to recommend a good designer signature scent for a mid 20's guy?
I'd like something that can project and last when it's cold as well as being fresh enough for summer.
I've been debating BDC EDT, AHS or something like Grey Vetiver or even Boss bottled. If anyone has any recommendations, I'm happy to hear them

>>14250337
Yeah that's it. Tough to find though.

>>14249094
at least you got to live when they took your odor

>>14250406
Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme

Is it just me or does the Kouros line of frags spray a huge amount?
Like i've owned a bottle of Body Kouros for a year and a half and can't recall using it that much that it feels as empty as it does.
The same for Chanel sprayers, it's easy enough to accidentally douse yourself in it

>>14250185
We have no idea where you are, so we have no idea what stores might be in your area. If only there were some way to use the internet to search for things, say a “search engine”? That seems like a niche someone could fill...

>>14250546
My bottle of regular Kouros sprays a pretty small amount desu. It’s a good thing, it gives off a chad miasma with literally one spray.

Just got a few samples in, goslings. Stand out are both Tom Ford, for different reasons.

Plum Japonais - Smells nice and fruity, but not in a sweet, flowery way, more the smell of fruit skin, sort of sweet but sort of green and earthy. It's got spice in it too, could wear this on warm outdoor evenings or cozy winter nights in.

Noir Anthracite - If you want to smell like a man, this is it. Not a pretty man either, it smells like stone and tar and cold. Not a 'nice' smell, but a very interesting one. If you want to bag a milf, wear this with a scowl.

>>14249126
It's a perfect fragrance scent wise, but it doesn't last as long as you'd expect it considering the price

>>14250581
Noir Anthracite nearly broke me. The most repugnant fragrance I’ve ever had the misfortune of trying. I’m a huge Tom Ford fanboy, but I found that to be absolutely appalling. I understand the subjectivity of fragrances, but honestly, fucking hell. Awful.

>>14249126
It’s awesome

>>14250801
I'm just starting to give Tom Ford fragrances a chance and I keep hearing they all smell awful until they have been on skin for an hour. Is Noir Anthracite still awful after doing its thing on skin?

Velvet orchid seems to smell weird on skin for me even after a few hours. Black orchid smelled like garbage until suddenly it smelled like the sexiest chocolate cherry cake imaginable.

>>14249126
love it, much like many other people, however deeper look reveals its also a massive ripoff

i've managed to recreate it somewhat close, to enjoy it for cheap using ingredients i could lay my hands on.

>>14250843
I hated Noir Anthracite immediately and it only got worse. I got given a 4ml sample at the Tom Ford counter and just threw it in the bin after scrubbing it off. I’ve never had such a strong negative reaction to a fragrance.

I agree in part that the drydown is where his fragrances shine, but not always. I love Noir Extreme from start to finish, same for Oud Wood and Tobacco Vanille.

>>14250857
Amber is not the same thing as Ambergris

>>14249126
it's literally the most gorgeous scent i've ever smelled and i don't mean that hyperbolically. i don't think there's another fragrance that smells as full and beautiful and the preformance is good on me. i wear this on dates and intimate meetings and chicks bury their face in my chest.

>>14249126
Its like having sex and eating a great sandwich at lunch after skipping breakfast earlier that morning. Heck, if it came out that it was made from stillborn infants blood I'd still lather that shit all over myself

frag boy stewie?

>>14249776
Dylan Blue? More like Dylan bitch.

BLUE BEAST COMING THROUGH, MAKE WAY PLEBS.

Why the fuck are the reviews on this so bad?
I'm thinking of picking either this or Soul of the Forest up but the reviews on this are insane.
Didn't some guy on utube rate this pretty high among the Margiela frags?

>>14251679
The whole Replica line is said to be a bunch of crap.

>>14251483
The most punchable fragrance youtuber

>>14251679
Because the black bottle Replicas are all trash.

>>14252490
Isn't Flying good?
or Soul of the Forest?
Soul of the Forest is good right?
right?

>>14249958
>>14250009
>>14250337
I have the original CH Men, there's literally no grass note, it's a sweet vanilla leather bomb.
I suggest Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca.

>>14249958
You might like Diptyque Eau de Lierre.

Should I wear a "blue" frag with a mostly blue fit? I feel like it'd fit the colour thematically and all...

>>14252578
this is a good one. smells like straight up wet vegetation. really pleasant.

>>14252536
It's one of the top notes you dumbass

any good Pink frags for men?

>>14252693
Joop Homme

>>14252677
> It's on fragrantica so it must be true
Kek, I literally sprayed it before I made the reply. If you knew how it smelled you wouldn't have recommended it based on anons request for a fresh grass scent. It's far from it.

>>14252677
>>14252761
That's fascinating. I bought a sample of CH men and all I could smell was sweet grass. Hated it.

>>14252761
>Fragentica
>CH men
>Control + f "Grass"
>1/61 matches

I never once said it's a grass fragrance, I said it had an amazing grass note, which apparently is a commonality with this fragrance. Your attention to detail is non existent as well as your sense of smell.

>>14252852
Read this

Anyone got his hands on fragrance one from jeremy? Appearently they arrived and Jeremy is remvoing all negative comments about it on his videos.

To the anon who recommended Kouros, you were not kidding, one spray is a lot. Good recommendation though, just need to find it for a price I can afford

>>14252864
I believe only a few of the European orders have arrived at this point. I got an email saying the US batches would arrive at their warehouse for shipping soon yesterday.

>>14252864
lmao proof he's a fucking hack who can't take criticism.
Just a fragile ego

Will two sprays on the clothes get you noticed?

>>14252969
I'll let you know in on a secret. When you get out of the shower lift up your ballsack and hit you taint with two sprays. You'll get noticed by all the bishes.

>>14249776
gays only

>>14249901
this was terrible

>>14252969
*sprays you twice*
Sure will!

Eros, Sauvage EDP or ADG, what should be my mass appealing safe frag to round off my small collection?

Toilet roll cap. LOOOOOOOL

>>14253083
Reminder: he wanted to charge 400 euros for this.

>>14252761
>>14252677
individual notes don't matter so much and can be hard to pick out because it's part of a very interdependent whole

>>14253083
are people really buying this?

>>14253083
you've been swizzled, m8

>>14253118
Completely understandable but for that anon to claim it has NO grass note is just flat out wrong. It has a grass note.

>>14252578
>>14252661
>smells like straight up wet vegetation
not him, but added to my big sample order >>14249282
I love diptyque, i considered this one, not sure why I skipped over it. Pretty unisex?


>>14252693
Pink as in VS Pink? Because they dont even make good frags for women.

>>14253083
Very exclusive bottle, german engineering, utility, and minimalism. Ultra mega super.

>>14253083
fucking hack

>>14253083
how phoned in will this fragrance be? morillas probably took the check, gave a work-in-progress version of AdG from the 90s, and ran lol

>>14253304
do you have the BALLS? to tell Morillas NO, 42 times?

>>14249786
Fragrancesamplesuk or Perfumista.

>>14253083

>>14253083
embarrassing.

>>14253083
It’s not even a cap. The bottle doesn’t have a cap. That’s just to protect the sprayer during shipping. Jeremy playing 4D chess, giving us no cap so the juice evaporates and we have to buy more sooner. Genius!

>>14252661
Like a mossy kinda smell? Or more fresh smelling? Either way sounds interesting, might have to order a sample for myself

>>14250980

"The idea was to create a sensual Rose by combining it with Ambergris, two of the most emblematic ingredients used by perfumers. This accord was particularly important to me; I worked on it for many years before successfully creating Ambre Nuit." François Demachy Dior Perfumer-Creator

You're right though. It has been rebranded since its launch and formula changed a few times over the years and so was the marketing tactic.

>>14253993
The text looks bad, I dont really like round bottles like that. The cap is ugly.

>>14254015
I'm looking for opinions on how it actually smells lmao

Even a horrendously ugly bottle wouldn't stop me from buying something if it smells nice

So far I've got:
>Creed Aventus
for spring/summer
>Thierry Mugler Pure Malt
for fall/winter

What season is pure havane for? Is it a fall/winter as well? Anything else I should get if I really like these? My next sample list is:
>Dior Homme Intense
>Valentino uomo
>Chanel Sycomore
>body kouros
>kenzojungle homme

>>14254791
God hinoki is so gorgeous. I often crack open my empty sample vial for a lungful. I'll have a bottle as soon as I can afford obscure scents to enjoy mostly in the comfort of my own home.

Wonderwood is great but I kind of feel like I have grown out of it. I've considered selling my bottle but on the rare occasion that I put it on, I thoroughly enjoy it.

>>14254910

Thinking of buying Habit Rouge, Lalique White, Vetiver Extreme, Bentley Absolute at some point. Thoughts?

Hi guys, I'm a pleb having some issues with picking a scent. Women's perfumes smell better to me than men's perfumes, this is probably by design. So do I wear the perfume I am attracted to, which would probably be something feminine, or do I wear a perfume that a woman would be attracted to? Fyi I don't have this issue with clothing or anything else, but fragrances to me seem more ambiguous

Are there any Guerlain scents that don't smell mature or old?

>>14255507
Good question. I don't think that any of mens Guerlain perfumes smell old but defo they're for 25+ folks. Can't really think of anything that would suit a zoomer. However, you can pull them off being a teenager if you have the right mature vibe

>>14253775
>2:06
>the Jews I don't think you'll see them on camera
6 GORRILLION

Is Boss Bottled Tonic a decent spring/summer frag? I've heard it doesn't last or project but the ginger/citrus combo sounds like it'd suit me.

>>14255481
What kind of perfumes/notes do you enjoy? I can kinda walk you through my process

As a rule of thumb, try to pick stuff that fits all three:
1) Suits your personality, appearance and clothing
2) You personally enjoy
3) The women you want will enjoy

You'll have some leeway with smelling a bit feminine if you can pull off looking a bit feminine as well; I'm bi and wear a ton of slp/skinny jeans so this helps for me lol

In general though the vast majority of scents can be pulled off by the right man or woman; even Angelina Jolie apparently wears (or used to) Bvlgari Black which would be too harsh for a lot of guys i know

>>14255577
The scent & opening is nice, generally likeable and pretty safe, the performance isn't great but not terrible.

Imo it's worth buying and just keeping an atomizer on you to reapply since you don't want frags that last 12 hours or fill a room in summer anyway

>>14248930
Is there any cheap, strong perfume that smells decent? I am going to a place where getting a shower will be hard and I don't want to smell like shit.

>>14255636
You're just gonna smell like shit and perfume if you don't shower

>>14255620
Well soft but not too soft projection is fine, so long as it performs better than VPH for the price range, I'm fine with that really. VPH is the only scent apart from La Nuit i've tried that has seriously let me down longevity wise.

>>14255687
Haven't tried VPH or La Nuit but yeah the projection is fine, and actually a great level for the office/casual daytime stuff imo

>>14255338
Of course she’s crazy. That’s her whole appeal. She sounds like she’s having a gentle orgasm whenever she talks.

>>14253916
sampled this recently, super underrated actually

>>14255458
Lalique White is great, Bentley Absolute is good but has no longevity whatsoever for me.

>>14255797
Awesome! Did the plum note dominate for you too? I can smell it more than the rum but i dont even mind since its so nice lol

>>14255818
Definitely. I didn't get much rum at all. It's all about that plum. Honestly considered getting a bottle

Anybody here tried Dunhill Icon elite?
How is it for a fall/winter date/evening out scent?

>>14255837
The only thing holding me back right now is the price. My sig is bvlgari man in black, and this seems like the perfect "dark-sweet" complement to my usual "dark-spicy" vibe

>>14255280
o

I wasn't around for few months writing my thesis. Did the hookeranom bang Alex at the end?

>>14256074
yeah, I definitely think it's a bit overpriced. If it was popular enough to sell decants I'd consider it a lot more but it doesn't seem to have any demand. Might test it some more for longevity

>>14256090
I mean, she's had her email with a heartletter emoji in her bio despite having an agency for all that time. Let's be honest, she's thirsty af for some DMs inviting her to Tulum or Mykonos for summer and likely to bang for money. I can't imagine what kind of looser one must be to at least don't get some kind of response from her.

>>14256090
I haven’t been back to Europe yet. Just bought a condo, in the process of moving, plus I’ve been dealing with a couple health issues (nothing serious, just makes me feel kinda shitty). I have my next trip to Amsterdam booked for October. I’ll try her then.

It’s still a long shot, since we don’t even know if she does escort, though it seems somewhat likely, and I have no idea if she’ll be anywhere near Amsterdam then. She seems to travel a lot, so she could be halfway around the world then, plus I don’t really want to have to pay thousands in travel fees to get her to me. I’ve got an agency I use regularly, their ladies are just as hot as Alex, and likely much more skilled. I’d love to bang Alex, but I’m not gonna spend an insane amount of money to do it when I can get just as good or better for way less.

>>14256102
Post again if you do please! I'd love to hear more about it

>>14256225

sure. This is actually the first time I've looked at a fragrance general in months so it's a funny coincidence someone else asked about a scent that recently intrigued me

>decided to wear Fahrenheit to work today
in hindsight, not the best decision

btw, how does Fahrenheit Cologne compare to the old Aqua Fahrenheit?

L'Eau d'Issey for spring/summer? How do we feel about it boys?

>>14256366
It's pretty good I've gotten a lot of compliments wearing it but go easy on the trigger 2-3 sprays. It has a ADG vibe with more citrus and floral notes. Opening is a bit strong with the floral but the dry down is really good. I would sample it first to see if you like it.

Alright guys be cool and help me out on this one:
>going to meet my Girl's parents for the first time
>pretty much going to ask for her hand in marriage

I want to make a really good first impression, thinking of wearing pic related what do you guys think? Any suggestions? What would you wear?

>>14256493
10 sprays of Kouros

>>14256493
Wear something more formal

I’m looking for a drag that makes me smell like s w i m Ming pool

>>14256493
Wait, you’re asking someone whose parents you haven’t met yet to marry you? How long have you been together? That seems like a really bad idea...

>>14256528
lmao this.

>>14256522
Like what? I'm thinking maybe Givenchy Gentleman can fit the bill.

>>14256548
I mean, every girl I’ve ever dated, I’ve met her parents within a few months. Like, even if her parents live in another country or something, if you’ve been together long enough to be considering marriage, I really don’t see how you could’ve never met her parents.

>>14256528
Different cultures exist my man, it would be foolish to think all relationships progress with that white people rhythm.

>>14256579
There is no culture that exists where it’s a good idea to marry someone you’ve only known for a few months.

>>14256589
Yes except

>Asians
>Africans
>Middle-easterns
>South Americans
>Carribeans
>Religious Europeans
>Slavics
I don't care about what you think the norm is, what do you think I should wear tho?

>>14256493
Bleu de Chanel EDP three sprays good luck homie

>>14256493
Maybe go for D&G The One EDP, I don't see how anyone can not like that. Good luck be confident.

>>14256579
>>14256601
You’re assuming he’s white. I’m Chinese, second generation, parents are off the boats. I would never consider marrying someone unless I knew them for at least 2 years. You don’t fucking know someone you’ve only known for a couple months. Period. You know what they want you to know. You haven’t seen their crazy, you don’t know their annoying habits, all you know is the honeymoon phase lovey-dovey, on their best behavior facade.

You do you, but you’re about to enter a world of pain, buddy.

>>14256601
M8, I’m not shitting on you, it’s not about the norm, and I’m not saying don’t marry this girl. I’m saying wait and make sure you know what kind of person she actually is first, and if you can to,erase living together. Costs you nothing to wait, costs you half your shit if you roll the dice and are wrong.

>>14256611
*tolerate living together

>>14256608
Oh I've known her for a while man, her parents live in different country we've video chatted and call all the time. First time they see me in person tho, what do you think I should wear tho?

>>14256611
Oh I agree with these points man, living together is just something that is not an option in her culture tho. Also half of your money on divorce is also not in my culture either pheww. What do you think I should wear tho?

>>14256616
Well, if her parents already know you (and presumably like you, because this wouldn’t be happening if they didn’t), then it doesn’t really matter much. But yes, I’d go for something more formal like a BDC or maybe one of the less Arab-smelling Amouages. Maybe Reflection.

is shit normally this cheap at fragrancenet or did just stumble upon a rare sale or something? also rate my newfag cart, considering adding cool water as well since it was only like $18 for the 4.2oz

>>14256493
Alright boys here's the options y'all suggested so far, please recommend a few more and then we'll do an elimination round.

>>14256633
Always that cheap. In fact, you can probably get cheaper. If you’re not getting the 37% off coupon, go to google, click shopping, enter whatever fragrance and search, then find the listing for fragrancenet. Doing this guarantees the maximum 37% off coupon.

>>14256660
Of those, I’d say BDC.

>>14256671
Same

>>14256660
Wait I have no idea what you already have?

>>14256686
90% chance whatever you'll recommend I'll already have at least 50mls of, what do you recommend?

>>14256622
Second Reflection.

>>14256679
>>14256671
BDC boys why do you think it's a good recommendation? I love it obviously but I never even considered it as an option desu

>>14256700
I thought those were the only options

>>14256622
Reflection would be good

>>14256700
Yeah, same, I thought those were the choices. Reflection or another less “challenging” Amouage would be my pick. Or something like Roja Elysium, maybe Enigma if you go light.

>>14256660
Anon your frag collection tells me alone you're not ready for this (and probably too young). My suggestion is something from Malle would work for this scenario, when you can afford it you'll know you're ready

>>14256493
Alright added Le Male since Amouage Refecltion is just that to my nose with hint of soapiness to it, please recommend anything you feel would help me out.

>>14256717
Le Male is not Reflection, m8...

>>14256710
Ohhhh I have a nice Elysium sample somewhere good rec man

>>14256721
That’d be the one, then. It’s like a much better BDC on steroids.

>>14256711
No need to be condescending tough guy, I've been an enthusiast for years and $$$ does not mean better most of the time. I've smelled better Rasasis than Rojas. What do you recommend from Malle?

>>14256720
I'm sorry man, Amouage is an incredible house, Jubilation is an actual masterpiece, but Refecltion is 95% Le Male go do a comaprssion yourself.

>>14256732
For sure I agree, but I disagree, my dude. Reflection is for sure a beast!

>>14255636

>>14256277
What happened, and what year/formula code/batch code is your bottle? I have a 2016 bottle that's running low gonna try to cop a 2019 bottle when it's finished up.

I’m a frag newbie, so please halp. I’m looking for a scent that’ll be good for going out on dates. I have these choices can someone help me choose from these?

I'm 28 years old and looking for a few summer frags. I've finally decided to branch out and sample a bunch of niches. I'm living in Florida now so I need something that can withstand the heat year round. I summarized all spring and summer fragrances in the fragrance chart here >>14248939 and have also included some year round frags as well that I think would be okay in the summer? Please feel free to let me know if I'm missing anything or if anything isn't in my age range.

I'm looking for 4 different fragrances for each occasion below:

1. Work
2. Dates
3. Casual Night out
4. Casual Day out

(Spring/Summer)
Acqua Di Parma Colonia
Thierry Mugler Cologne
Bond No. 9 Shelter Island

Tried this today and I swear I can only smell candy canes and smoke, with a tiny bit of woodiness. Am I crazy, is it my skin, or is this a thing?

>>14256728
Fuck it senpai, go enjoy your normie ass marriage with your normie ass scents

Wear nothing, better to make no scent impression than a bad one. Its like a job interview.

>>14256956
Difficult one man, do you mean to say you have sampled everything you've listed?

>>14257092
Probably not all of them but a majority. I'll do some more research and narrow it down to a smaller list. I just find it peculiar that none of these are ever talked about and its the boards official fragrance chart. Might as well sample them.

>>14257123
Most of those are talked about regularly? That cart is way outdated tho

>>14256969
no, you got it pretty much spot on. It smells like burnt sugar, pine smoke and vanilla

>>14257007
>while you're living your life with your life partner having children and making memories, i'll be here alone dusting off my very expensive elite fragrance collection and enjoying my eternal solitude while smelling like a million bucks hahahaha loser.

>>14257251

Really? I've never seen them talked about. Well shoot me some updates then. Nothing worse than an outdated cart.

>>14257261
This but without a shred of irony

>>14257255
God damnit. I want to smell like a fireplace, not Ariana grande crawling through the damn chimney

Gentlemen, do yourselves a favor and give this one a sniff. It's truly an understated gem and a modern classic in the spicy tobacco category.

>>14257270
Profvmvm Roma Arso should get you where you want to be.

>>14257277
Ooh this actually looks interesting, thank you for the rec

>>14257270
Le Labo Patchouli 24 smells like a smoldering campfire to me (others have said a BBQ pit)

>>14257261
>>14257266
Fuck you designer normies, I have a arthoe gf that enjoys frags and I don't plan on having kids

>>14256956
Really good list... but this is just because you've copied it from the 2nd post. What have you tried and liked? What have you tried and disliked? If you haven't actually tried, go outside and fucking smell.

28/Florida and work/dates/casual night out/casual day out are not good enough criteria for me to recommend you a scent. I recommended a new template a bit ago but it never caught on. If you haven't smelled frags what kind of smells do you generally like/dislike?

>>14252535
soul of the forest is fucking shit

I expected to be surrounded by wood sprites and magical, ancient mosses... but all i got was a fucking synthetic mess of wet grass and douglas fir sap.

>>14257312
Grev and Bracken are the best forest scents.

>>14257290

Living up North I really didn't have many summer frags, my favorites were mostly fall and winter frags, but these are the ones I liked over the years.

Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme
Rasasi Hawas
CH Men (Original)
Ralph Lauren Polo Blue
YSL L'homme
Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue
Prada L'homme
Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey

where can I buy the enchanted forest that isn't luckyscent

any thoughts on my recent sample haul?

I bought a solid cologne as my first dip into fragrances and I'm loving it. My problem is that I want something very slightly stronger, and lasts longer than my solid. Maybe it's just the cologne I have, but it almost seems to only last an hour or so.

>>14257656
should've got colonia essenza too
otherwise pretty good

alright fa

here’s my meme filled collection
tobacco vanille
tuscan leather
millisime imperial

i have jubilation xxv coming in tomorrow
unashamedly purchased cool water since i like GIT but not enough to justify the price

plan to purchase virgin island water, maybe feve delicieuse but i heard they reformulated it so maybe it’s ruined

any suggestions of frags to look out for?

might just cop bleu de chanel since it’s a nostalgic frag more than anything else

>>14257849
Cool Water is one I still adore. Ten sprays in high heat and head off to the beach. Amazing.

Maybe Noir Extreme for something a little different.

How is Stronger with You?
I really like the Emporio aesthetic, one of my fav designers for the design and the pricepoint for me.

>>14257965
I only had a 3ml sample but I like it. Sweet without being cloying and a nice spicy depth. Good longevity. We’re now getting to a time of year where it may be less appropriate to wear it however. It’s not for me, but I do enjoy it.

>>14257970
I'm just the sort who looks for cold weather frags early on in the spring so I can test 1 spray at home now and again with a decant and then see if I want a bottle or not

Tobacco Oud or Noir De Noir?

I think I enjoy NDN more, but TO suits my personality more. How would you base your decision? Enjoyment or how appropriate it is for you?

>>14255458
Anyone? :(

>>14258005
How about some AVENTUS by CREED?

The only vetiver frag I've tried is Grey Vetiver and I love it for work and formal ocassions, but would Guerlain Vetiver be a better choice if I liked the soapyness of the TF?

>>14257321
Also Sander for Men

>>14258013
Sorry I'd prefer to not legitimise a place on the market for a brand deliberately faking its history brand by my purchase

Did someone have any sugestions on something like Guerlain L'homme Ideal edp but niche?

>>14256969
Luca Turin gave it 1/5 review and described it something like "horrendous candle". Can't wait to try it anyway.

I responded to you, Lalique = good Bentley = bad. Haven't tried the others.

>>14249776
Gives me a headache.

>>14253083
This has to be a joke

>>14258530
I read somewhere that Kickstarter gets a minimal design first and there will be an official reveal of the actual bottle. Who knows if that's bullshit or not. Either way I'm not buying it.

>>14257667
already have a bottle of essenza, can't wait for high summer to start wearing it again

a few of those, including the colonias, i've tried before but felt like revisiting or refreshing my memory. may even cop one of those colonias if one of them feels like a more casual/laid-back feel than essenza and compliments it without being too similar

>>14258530
Again, it’s not a cap. The bottle comes without a cap like the Escentric Molecules bottles. The cardboard thing is just to protect the sprayer during shipping.

Still looks cheap as shit, though.

>>14258706
Does anyone know what it actually smells like? I assume if it's office, it's going to be a variation of an aromatic fougere or woody?

>>14258754
It's an invictus/bleu de chanel/prada mashup

>>14258754
smells like Morillas's greatest hits carelessly thrown into a blender

>>14258782
why would you go through all the trouble to make your own scent and then have it smell like the men's section of a poorly-stocked Sephora?

>>14258222
i just got into fragrance like 3 years ago
it was the very first fragrance i tried but for whatever reason i ended up getting man eau fraiche

>>14249278
>>14249282
Okay I know the Replica line is regularly shit on but has anybody tried tea escape? Would it be worth adding to my list of tea fragrance samples?

Any Swedes here?

>>14258925
Yeah I'm about to go to mosque though. What's up?

>>14257994
I want to say enjoyment, however, I dont buy fragrances that dont suit my personality so I would be hypocritical.

>>14258933

Sounds like a 400 euro bottle of "safe".

>>14258977
>Made in Germany
So was the Berlin Wall

>>14258754
It’s supposed to be a citrus/woody/Ambroxan/jasmine/iris frag. I bought it for the memes, haven’t gotten mine yet, but it sounds like about what I expected from Jerememe.

So, Clive Christian is a knight. Are his frags so expensive because they contain bits of dragons he killed?

Just got some versace eros, its not a meme lads, it's honestly the GOAT frag

>>14259109
It's honestly one of the saddest woody ambers I've ever smelled*

>>14259109
well, if you're looking for Chornobyl-level longevity and sillage, yeah.
In terms of the quality of the scent, it's a pretty unimpressive ambroxan/norlimbanol trend follower.

>>14259109
Fuck da haters. I’m about as hardcore a nichefag as this general has ever seen, and Eros is one of the very few designer frags I like. I don’t wear it often, and usually wear it to bed or when I’m just chilling at home, but I get major cravings for it sometimes. Love the vanilla/tonka/mint/citrus combo.

>>14258921

Eugene is the biggest bitch in the frag community. He made a salty vid shitting on other, more popular youtubers, then got bullied by his wife into deleting it. He’s also adictioncucked.

yikes.

I finally narrowed down the frags that I want to sample for the summer. The amber frags might be too strong for the summer nights but im willing to try and see. Thoughts?


(Summer Day)
Byredo Parfums Bal D'Afrique
Amouage Beach Hut Man
Diptyque Philosykos

(Summer Night Out)
Mancera Cedrat Boise
Creed Aventus
Thierry Mugler A*Men Ultra Zest

(Summer Work)
Amouage Reflection Man
Channel Allure Homme Edition Blanche
Guerlain Homme

(Summer Date Night)
Amouage Dia For Men
Christian Dior Ambre Nuit
Hermes L'Ambre Des Merveilles

>>14259531
Most of those are excellent, good taste.

I was wondering if /effay/ could help me find a cologne/perfume to fit me. I want it to be an every day kind of wear that fits my overall personality and dress.

I'd say my personality is a bit like a jester or a fool. Always trying to get people to smile but at the same time I make myself way to vulnerable to people way to often, because I have the foolish notion that if I'm honest and kind to other people they'll be honest and kind back. It's never worked but that doesn't stop me from trying

My wear is a bit playful. Hawaiian shirts, tie dye, old thrift clothes. There's also most always a purposeful clash of some sort. Example would be Black V-neck, khaki denim, and black coach boots. Another example would be white t shirt, bright orange addidas trackpants, and green golf-le-fluers.

Basically, I want to smell how these flowers look. Thank you for your suggestions

>>14259540
Thanks. Are any of the date or night frags too strong for summer nights?

>>14259576
I don't think so. They're all quite fresh-smelling, even Ultra Zest.

>>14259585
Awesome thanks. Excited to try them

>>14259566
I think you'd like Etat Libre D'orange, difficult to pin down which one exactly but if you look through their fragrances they seem to fit with what you're talking about.

>>14259618
Thank you so much. It's very nice see people being helped and be helped by people

>>14259618
>>14259625
ELDO is a good rec. also maybe look into 4160 Tuesdays. They make a lot of fun, sometimes a bit silly frags. Luckyscent has a lot of them.

>>14259625
No problem. Etat Libre D'orange actually do a few different sample discovery kits which might be a good idea for you as you can test a few different ones.

>>14258936
I ended up buying Tobacco Oud and got a 4ml sample of NDN. Seems about right for me. I drink whisky and walk around the countryside and hang around dank pubs. Rose wouldn’t suit that.

>>14257994
i hope it’s cold where you live bcus tobacco oud is nauseating in anything but extreme cold

>>14259724
Good choice imo. Get NdN for yourself someday and try layering them - I honestly think it could work.

After a friend let me try his collection, I had to get this. So French and perfect.

Hey guys. Im looking for a signature fragrance to fit my personality, and looks. (Med-looking, kinda mysterious type, early 20's).

Don't really want an 'office-y" type of frag, (apparently like BDC and Terre d'Hermes). I've also sampled Dior Sauvage and found it to be quite 'boring'.

Please assist a noob.

>>14259762
England, so it can be very cold at times, but I’ll test it out. It seems to sit quite close to my skin but the opening can be a little cloying, but when it dries down to the wood and spices I think it’s much nicer.

>>14259766
Yeah, I think the rose could offset some of the more piercing elements of TO. I have TL, TV and OW as well, so a few layering opportunities.

>>14259805
Mugler Pure Havane

>>14259805
Budget? Location? I’m sure people are happy to help, but a bit more information is useful.

Maybe something like CH Men Prive could work. Maybe Noir Extreme or if you have the budget, Oud Wood.

>>14259816
Yeah, I mentioned it because a TF associate told me OW and NdN is a popular combo. It thought it was nice - would have been fire if I liked NdN more in general.

>>14259805
Kouros

>>14259816
TV and neroli p is supposedly a really good pairing

i only have a sample of neroli tho so i always forget about it

>>14259822
around $100 i reckon. sorta looking for a frag for any type of weather. don't really wanna buy many frags.

>>14259889
isn't this extremely polarizing? also, wouldn't this frag be familiar seeing as it came out a few years back?

>>14259968
if by a few years you mean 38. and yes, its pretty polarizing.

>>14259817
apparently this is way too sweet and only fits in tropical weather? any experience with regards to this?

>>14259822
i've sampled CH Men, and i don't really like it (smells like my Dad). Will CH Men Prive be any different?

>>14259822
i've heard you have to layer Tom Ford Tuscan Leather? is this a thing with all of his frags?

>>14259968
It was released in 1981 m8. And yes it's polarizing but if you're med and decently built (not soi, skinnyat, thinspo or obese) nobody will think it's weird at all. It basically smells like Pre-WW2 era cruise liner soap mixed with some incense.

>>14259972
is it offensive to be polarizing? in what settings would this be inappropriate?

>>14259984
Read about Kouros here and decide for yourself if you want to try it
http://raidersofthelostscent.blogspot.com/2014/01/kouros-scent-of-gods-12.html

Looking for a cologne that the bottle is a black cube. And the top is a wooden cube .

>>14260011
Encre Noir

I don't spray often at all, but when I do, Barfly

>>14259968
The revolting reactions generally come from people smelling it on their arm and being weirded out by the pungent civet. From a distance or applied to the chest it’s just warm, soapy and moderately spicy.

>>14259993
This is spergy. The current formulation is nice in its own right, no use in lamenting over 40 year old dissolved chemicals.

>>14259980
No, it’s not something you have to do, it just makes for an interesting way of using them.

>>14259975
It is very different, but if you said you want something for all seasons, it’s definitely not that.

Maybe try Prada Luna Rossa Carbon

>>14260667
This. The whinging about reformulation is 90% trying to flex.
It's no different than a music nerd saying
>Yeah, it's a good album. I got the limited edition Japanese-market version on vinyl. Of course, this was all before they got popular and sold-out.

>>14260815
And Even if the animalic notes are toned down, it probably makes it way more wearable. Tastes change another big factor is that people used to smoke everywhere and always making noses way less sensitive. You probably needed a lot more punch to project beyond your reeking clothes.

>>14260866
I've tried the vintage stuff and I think the whole "animalic" thing is overblown anyway. It's definitely stronger, that's for sure.

Modern Kouros, vintage Kouros, whatever. It's a totally wearable, almost-but-not-quite year-round fougere. Just don't spray it like it's Axe.

Meaning there is no real cap, which is even worse. Which makes this piece of shit the actual cap. Damn, it's shit twice over.

>>14259968
I sprayed it on my wrist and smelled it throughout the day. It smelled like basic soap and incense sticks to me, I didn't get anything animalic from it at all...
