I have some questions for people who bought online from sites like amazon / ebay. How was it? it's worth buying or it's too risky? should i do it and buy to see or just goes to store . I don't think all of them are fake, but still, a high chance especially for Fragrances.

>>14435466
Is issy miyake still one to cop or not? Love the smell though not had any for a while, not a fan of the sweet shit that paco puttin out. Is it still worthy?

>>14435493
Bought many from eBay, all legit. Best to look at actual fragrance websites and try get discount codes.

Don't mind me, just the best fragrance ever created

Yes. Not as much of a beast as when it was released but still a nice citric green aquatic. Smells like an asian water garden more than an ocean which is nice.

>>14435493
Problem with Amazon is that they're incredibly lax with checking and vetting their suppliers and third party shops. Buying directly from Amazon themselves is the only way Is do it, but even then my confidence wouldn't be sky high.

Plenty of people seem to use eBay for samples and stuff though.

>brown algae defines water
What on earth are you even talking about? I can’t even think of a mainstream aquatic that smells like “brown algae.” Aquatics are chock full of calone, which actually just smells like salty watermelons (one of it’s tradenames is watermelon ketone). Fougere’s can’t be “aquatic” because fougere is an accord (lavender, coumarin, geranium, sometimes either musk or moss) that the style is named after. That’s like saying a Ferrari is a hearse. They’re not made like that.

I can’t believe I’m even responding to this noselet. I try to inform you but you’re being a disrespectful little zoomer. Knock it off.

Last thread 310’d so fast so I’m reposting. I’ve just arrived to my hotel. Took only Eau Sauvage Parfum and Kouros for this trip and I’m about to douse myself in the latter as I’m going to gym. Post your new buys lads.

Is it effay?

With designer ouds like Hugo Boss, Varvatos and the like, is oud becoming the new fuccboi scent?

IDEAS ABOUT FAHRENHEIT?

>>14435493
I've bought 4 fragrances from Amazon and all four were legit and shipped correctly. 2 Guerlain, 1 ELDO, and 1 AdP; three of them were sold by Amazon themselves, one was from a third-party. I think, like eBay, it will be fine as long you look up the seller and pick one with a lot of reviews and a very, very high rating. And if you're worried about shipping problems, make sure the seller's items are "fulfilled by Amazon" as well.

>>14435790
not enough gasoline accord, i was let down desu

>>14435790
One of the greatest aquatics of all time. That brown algae note is to die for.

>>14435493

Look at seller reviews with a good track record. One negative review and I pass. if its just too good to be true it probably is and avoid

>>14435493
I have not yet bought from eBay but will be since I wanna cop some Creed tester bottles for dirt cheap compared to retail
I think one of the main things is to buy from reputable sellers and avoid sellers from Eastern Europe since they tend to sell fakes

A must have in anyone’s set, original and timeless.

how's Havana, eau sauvage, yst and Carven intense?

>>14436057
She cute
>Havana
Very snice green tobacco chypre that requires some confidence to be pulled off but is not dated unlike Aramis Aramis. One of my favs for Autumn. Also cheap as hell.
>Eau Sauvage
Probably my favourite scent for last 6 months and the best designer fragrance in my opinion. Someone talked in the last thread that if their house was burnt they would just stick with Dior Homme. For me it’s be Eau Sauvage. Very versatile as it can be worn at almost any season to almost any occasion where I have a shirt on my chest, let it be an oxford shirt with rolled up sleeves and three buttons undone on vacations at Amalfi, a date, or a business meeting. I remember that I read once a mini essay in some book about fragrances about the original Roudnitska’s Eau Sauvage that one anon was posting a few threads back. It was called the epitome of a french playboy - perfectly clean appearance and a charming smile outside but something dark and contradictory inside. I’ve never smelled the original vintage version but the 2017 Parfum version fills this description fully in my opinion with its mix of vibrant citruses outside and elemi-vetiver accord lurking from inside. Really gorgeous stuff that I should buy a few backup bottles of. EDT is also nice but fresher.
>YSL
It was a gift by one of my ex gfs around 5 years ago. She told me that that’s how she’d like her man to smell, so I’m a bit sentimental with this one. I use it for occasions where I want to smell nice but pleasant to everyone. Think job interviews. It’s the most inoffensive but still masculine scent I know.
>Carven
That’s a great cheapie done by Francis Kurkdjian. The most refreshing fragrance in my collection. Great when it’s 30+ degrees outside. Gives you almost icecold cool feeling.

Lads can you recommend me a good (cheap) summer frag. Something really bright and citrusy and clean. I’d say something in a similar vein with Allure Edition Blanche

>>14436135
Versace eau de fraiche

>>14436055
can you not read?

>>14436185
I have it. Don’t really like it

I took note of the frags for hot weather in the previous thread. Do these also work with high humidity? That's mainly what kills me.

>>14435832
>>14435866
Even the current version?
Tried it for the first time today
Innitial notes very unique and cool
Mid notes random grandad fragrance
Base Notes nice interesting green scent

Guys I think I found my summer signature scent. Pacific Lime by Atelier is so so so fucking good.

>>14436477
Same here. Can't find it unfortunately in European stores. I asked anons here, they spoonfed me some websites but they had only limited Penhaligon (mostly women's) selection.

>>14436580
Go on the actual penhaligons website

For me it's Cool Water.

>>14435466
I need a frag that'll last me the summer with 90% humidity and around 25c at least.
Is Dior Homme Sport 2017 a good one?

>>14436657
Cool water is awesome would reccomend. Another more budget option is Adidas Moves for men, it's pretty good too.

>>14436675
Fine bro, enjoy...

Just sprayed on some Azzaro PH after my post-workout shower. Don’t know how people think its musty and dark, its so fresh and bracing to me.

Cool Water is an animalic gourmand.

>>14436704
Fucking kek, reminds me of some kraut on fragrantica who was trying to convince everyone that Kouros is an oriental gourmand. Good banter anon xD

Jesus fuck... I was at a restaurant for lunch today and there was this brown guy there. This dude smelled absolutely obscene. He obviously hadn’t bathed and didn’t wear deodorant, and he was wearing some fuccboi frag I couldn’t identify. Dude smelled like unwashed, sweaty ass doused in balsamic vinegar and bleu cheese. I could smell this shit from halfway across the restaurant. It was the foulest I’ve ever smelled another human being smell.

Seriously, brown people, you need to shower and wear deodorant. Just throwing on half a bottle of 1 Million before work doesn’t cut it.

>>14436130
That was me that mentioned Dior Homme. I was speaking about the whole Homme line, but I’ve not had much experience with the Eau Sauvage line. I’ve tried a sample of Eau Sauvage in Debenhams but as nice as it was it was too short lived. I don’t worry about longevity as much as some but it reminded me a little of Colonia Essenza (albeit lighter) but the difference wasn’t strong enough to justify a full bottle. I still need to try the Parfum however, and from the way you’ve described it it sounds like what I’ve been missing, which is an all season fragrance.

The closest I have to all season is AHSEE, and that doesn’t suit the high heat. Aventus is close, but I don’t think it suits the winter.

I’ll try Eau Sauvage Parfum next time I get a chance.

>>14436709
Kouros IS a gourmand. You don't eat civets as part of your daily diet?

What the fuck? I've sprayed Eros once on my wrist yesterday night (around ten pm), it's next day 11:43 pm and two showers later, and I can still smell it on my skin. I never knew Eros was this tough. Nice shit.

>>14436731
Eros is trash m8. Woody amber chemical swill

>>14436740
Yeah, great meme. Eros is a legit one of the best frags released in the last decade.

>>14436740
Good to know, thanks. I’m glad you let me know I didn’t like it.

>>14436731
I’m the same with Tuscan Leather. Sprayed at 4pm. Showered at 10pm. Sprayed something over the top the next day. Could smell TL coming through. New fragrance died down. TL continued. Fucking absurd fragrance.

>>14436753
If you’re in middle school, its an ok step up from Axe I guess. Too bad there are Axe frags that smell better lol

Yeah, I love how Kouros is the cock-sucked frag no. 1 around here since the last few months. Eros used to be the same way after it came out, you couldn't come to /frag/ without everyone nutting their pants about Eros.

Says a lot about credibility here, folks. Be advised when you shell out your bucks while blind buying Kouros like the ignorant retard you are - after a few months, everyone will be shitting on it and memeing it up with a new frag.

>>14436778
The difference is that Kouros is a time tested frag made by a renowned perfumer with novel accords, meanwhile eros is literally just chemical ambroxan and fake vanilla for hard part pedros and polo shirt pajeets. Nobody with good taste in fragrance ever said Eros was good.

>>14436135
Nautica Voyage, Versace Pour Homme

>>14436793
>Nobody with good taste in fragrance ever said Eros was good.
kek, sure they didn't. That's why Eros used to top all the top 5 lists of best frags released this decade and still does.

Motherfucker, you know as well as I do that Eros is extremely popular in normies and scent aficionados alike. You can meme it up all day with "chemical ambroxan and fake vanilla" shit, it won't change the fact that Eros smells like heaven, lasts a lifetime and is an extremely effective crowd pleaser.

>>14436807
Sure, it’s a crowd pleaser designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator, aka you :+) Enjoy though, friend!

Lads, I just matched with her. She’s down for drinks tomorrow. Dubs decide what frag should I buy for the date as I took only Eau Sauvage and Kouros with me for the trip.

which one of you was this >>14434574
cuz i fuckin saw that shit too and cracked up at Kouros

>>14436824
First of all, any better pictures?

Second, where are you?

Third, wear several sprays of Eau Sauvage with a single spray of Kouros on your chest. Classy for the date, but if you get down to business and the shirt comes off you get that animalic scent.

>>14436824

Poland. Im lowkey thinking of just wearing Kouros unironically and playing a daddy figure with her as I’m 8 years older. I’ve been using kouros for two years after almost every boxing training so it subconsciously boosts my testosterone as well.

Do you speak Polish?

I’m too old for her (I’m 30) but I’m curious if I should bother with dating apps when I go next month.

>>14436908
>Too old for her

If she's old enough to pee, she's old enough to breed.

What fragrance bring the most compliments?
I fucking love my Dior homme intense yet nobody seem to compliment it.
It's my only purchased fragrance so what's your recommendation for a more fresh one for day to day wear?
Im bald 6' and muscular if that matters

>>14436918
I’ve only ever received compliments for Dior Homme Eau, Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme, TF Noir Extreme, Aventus.

>>14436918
If you don’t have gay friends or sisters then don’t really expect any unsolicited meaningful compliments to be fair. Typically when a women compliments your fragrance it’s just a proxy for making you realise that she’s into you. The fragrance is only an excuse not the reason my dude. You could just improve your grooming or style with the same effect.

>tfw poorfag
shill me your >30euro fragrances anons. it can be little flasks too. i really need a frangrance to make a good first impression, visiting a long-time online friend.

>>14435466
Anyone got experience with Floris? How is it?

>>14436964
>laliques are all 70+
>cartiers are sketchy af
bright neroli looks like the best option. anyway, i'm thinking to go to a fragrance shop like sephora with my sister (never been to any shops like this, so gonna ask her for help) and ask for a non expensive fragrance

Wear Kouros and let us know how it goes

Is kouros the new buzzword meme?

>>14437089
ya don’t get it, it smells like piss. get eros instead, girls actually like it and it’s the best release of this decade

>>14436918

I hate to say it because its all the first part of the thread, but eros in my experience. I have a bottle just to have one. Noir Extreme also does well. I however own much more niche and challenging scents and wear them because I like them.

I've tried several samples of Amouage fragrances, namely Beach Hut, Dia, Honour, Jubilation, Memoir, Reflection. Out of these I absolutely love the Reflection and Beach Hut. I think I'm gonna get a bottle of one of these two.

>>14437153
i need another sample of reflection. i liked it a lot but im not sure its my style. its smells very high quality but i wish it was a liitle more bright and floral.

>>14436991

Elite is pretty good if you like older-style barbershop scents. Haven't tried the rest.

>>14435546
>Don't mind me, just the best fragrance ever created
I thought it smells good for the first 5 minutes, but then you just smell like a candy cane

>>14435636
Oh god pls

Ive never had a problem with amazon, but I’ve only used them to pick up inexpensive fragrances that I’m curious about that are unlikely to be faked. There’s no point in counterfeiting an Armaf or al Haramain. It should be relatively safe to buy designer or niche fragrances as well as long as they’re purchased directly from amazon, but there’s really no point given that most popular releases sell for retail or close enough to retail as to make no difference. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fragrance sold by amazon that couldn’t be found cheaper on reputable gray market sites

First off, how similar do tom ford grey vetiver and guerlains vativer smell to you guys? Second, could you describe these two fragrances without using standard olfactory phrases like amber, fouger, chypre etc.

To me the smell bitter, just a little bit "sharp". Tom ford's is somewhat lighter than guerlains. Very masculine, but not in an agressive fashion.

>>14436908
I really doubt it makes any difference for her if a men is 8 or 12 years older.
>>14436944
This. But it sometimes happens to me that a waiter or driver comments on my fragrance. But it’s nothing close to what Jerememe and other ppl on internet try to make people believe - one spray of Aventus and voila VS angel wants to ride you all night long.
>>14436991
I do. Most of my posh friends (and I mean here double-barrelled-name-and-a-flat-at-Chelsea-gifted-for-18th-bday-posh) use them because their dads have been using Floris. They’re a solid British brand of barbershopish origins like Trumpets or Penhaligon. I love their Santal and got myself a 14ml bottle >>14435680 it’s my scent of choice for casual black tie events. Very good crisp but smooth sandalwood fragrance.
>>14437010
You’re dumb. Go look up Cartiers and Lalique on Notino. Virtually all of them are going for less than 30quids.
>>14437081
Yeah, I most likely will.
>>14437250
>>14437153
I’ve recently decanted Reflection and the opening is really nice but soon after it smells very soapy and is gone whatsoever from my skin after 4h. I guess I got the reformulated version. Jubi is great though.
>>14437736
Both smell mainly of well vetiver. Tom Ford is more modern and crisp though.

>>14437736
>>14437880
Also, as far as I remember I liked the Vetiver Extreme way more than the Guerlains original. It was fresher Andrew modern. Maybe you should rather test this version against Tom Ford.

>>14437891

>>14438639
there are two types of Mancera(and Montale i think), produced in different places. Bottles are either engraved like yours or have sticker on the bottom. Ones with the sticker are supposed to have great performance, as opposed to engraved bottles. So it is real but you got screwed anyway. I'd try returning it and asking for a different bottle till you get one with a sticker.

there's a story to be told. of good and evil. a cosmic schism, a wild funnel where the point of singularity, the only escape is only the beginning. the story is true and it's become a cold tale told in warm places. a story of the eater and the eaten. people speak of ysl. yes, they speak of the house and it's cherished, it's glistenings. of it's revered, always it's revered with that air of sophistication, of softness and care. something complacent and beautiful and has made a custom of turning it's back on it's wicked dealings, it's past it hopes to forget in the silence of death. this has become futile, because in the years since the tremor has only become more violent, and in these years they've learned to disregard the hunger. they've starved it but is doesn't die. it only becomes hungrier... and in it's place they've become a symbol of regality, of sterile streamlined luxury in a white room. le vestiaire des parfums they call it. simplicity and elegance. a swooning dance in sweeping silk on a bed of vapors... a dream even. all in vain because it's been fed only the best, and it's never known a want. it's slept ceaslessly, carelessly above the earth where at it's center spins in pangs of hunger and fury, of agony something brutish. they say it may come later. but later is now, the hour is now. it's been a matter of then but not now and then is now and now has been here forever... and they say to always remember that saying said only in the dark: "Tuxedo is the mother, Kouros is the wolf."

Is Blue Depths a worthy addition to my collection or should I spring for Cool Water? I can get both at my nearest Walmart. Is CW worth the extra $20?

Old fuck checking in.

Wearing Aedes de Venustas Copal Azur.

A bit of a mix between a niche AdG Profumo and a more coastal CdG take on incense with the silky cardamom note from Atelier de Ors
Crepescule des Ames.

This is fucking fantastic! An airy, cool salty incense, a bright almost citric myrrh note, fantastic take on cardamom and a salty ozone note. Smells like incense in an old catholic church on the coast of Italy mixed with a high class shave and the smell of hot wind blowing off the ocean. Not aquatic, not the smell of being in water but the smell of being close to the sea.

I have no idea why no one talks about this fragrance. Great longevity, doesn't project much but thats not my style unless I'm rocking a powerhouse like Antaeus or Kouros. Blew through my samples, going to put it down for two weeks and if I still love it when I wear it again I'm getting a bottle. Has a Mediterranean chic feel to it, absolutely beautiful fragrance. I'm not one to overhype frags and say they are evocative of a place or setting because truthfully most aren't even if they smell great.
This is an exception however. That's what I love about frags. Even after wearing them for 30 years every now and then something absolutely blows me away.

>>14439770
Jesus dude you can get Cool Water itself for 20 bucka online or at Marshalls, TJ Maxxx,Ebay, etc.

Just get CW.

>>14438034
Paco Rabanne XS is an absolute juniper bomb, especially the older bottles. As a bonus its very close to Creed Himalaya. I'd highly advise checking it out.

>>14438177
It's fantastic , classy and refined but fits an older crowd better. Great take on sandalwood and patchouli with the signature Guerlain drydown.

If you want a more subtle woody scent try Dsquared Rocky Mountain wood. Comparable prices online, much softer and more youthful smell.

>>14439636
Still one of the best aquatics. Try the Fraiche version though. Softens the somewhat screechy citrus and floral notes with some dry herbs, keeps the performance.

Are there any fragrance that smells like butter? Like toast with maple syrup, or the smell of bakeries and famous amos outlets?

>>14435466

anyone here have any experience with Floris JF?

i've heard it treads the middle-ground between those two very similar frags, sort of like Chez Bond but better and not as much a GIT clone. One reviewer said it basically starts out like CW but ends like GIT

>>14439684
based and redpilled. what pic related will wear?

>>14441669
>what pic related will wear?
Aventus clones or a dozen sprays of 1 Million

>>14441669
What the fuck are those things? They’re like Persian drag queens cosplaying as Prince who went through that machine from The Fly and got merged with those gigachad pics.

Also, 1 Million. Just the whole bottle.

>>14441669
If they are like the middle eastern dudes i work with, heavy rose frags that are over priced.

should i get the mini 5ml eau de fraiche bottle for 6 dollars on fragnet with coupon for summer i figure i can get a dozen wears out of it, i dont use much just on my neck

>>14441514
Decent at that price

Just got done laying some mulch and my hands smell amazing. Any good mulch-like frags? I’m guessing something woody and mossy.

Best fragrance youtuber right now?

>>14442150
Sure, but that’s like asking who the best fly circling the pile of dog shit is.

>>14442150
Only one worth watching

>>14441669
So, this is basically the male equivalent of the bimbo look, right? Also, dude in the middle is 100% homo.

>>14442150
Mrzayas and Sebastian are the only ones with taste

>>14442259
Sebastian is so fucking insufferable

I’ve sold a few bottles just as my collection was getting a bit out of hands and I’m getting New York Intense today lads. Gonna test some other Nicolai fragrances.

>>14437081
I’m back from the trip already and I met the girl. I sprayed Kouros twice at my neck at the end for giggles. She was really sweet not sassy at all as I assumed while writing with her. We went to a nice Thai place for a dinner and then drinks at my hotel as she was all ears listening about my travels and other stuff so I invited her to show her photos to my place. We chatted a bit more, been drinking wine and started watching the photos on the bed. Then you can guess what has happened we started making out and soon after I fucked her. She wanted to cuddle afterwards and I asked her how she likes my fragrance. She took a sniff from my neck and said ‘it’s nice’. We talked and laughed a bit more at bed, I fucked her for the second time and she soon after wanted to go out for some silent disco at a beach. I stayed home as I had to wake up rather early the next day. I might invite her to London actually at some point.

Egra is ok once you get past the synthetic violet opening. I won’t be copping a new bottle though as I grow a bit tired of it.
>>14441669
In London these guys (and the second type of Arabian princes type - wannabe Drakes) wear Tuscan Leather and Oud Wood. It’s always hilarious to go to Harrods and see them running around Tom Ford booth like flies around shit.

>>14442150
Fuck off

i want to cop la nuit de l'homme but each time i'm scared by the reviews saying it lasts only a few minutes

Has anyone here tried Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Lumière Noire pour Homme?

Is ADG obscure enough now that it's cool again?

>>14443292
Not at all. Jeremy just talks about because he knows it's still a top seller.

>>14442808
“It’s nice”. Do you think she meant it?

Also, I’m jealous, although I’m used to not getting anywhere with women at this point. I do t use Tinder but maybe Bumble will work over there.

>>14441669
One of them is my dad...

Burberry London or CK One Shock if I want a cheap, crowd pleasing tobacco frag? I know it's summer but I can test them out in the evenings.

>>14441087
i know but still, at least don't be that obvious with that shilling
>>14441587
thanks for the list anon, i will try them, from that list i only tried Kouros and Bvlgari

>>14442808
NICE LARPING, FAGGOT!!!!

In all seriousness, good job, brother. Just had to get a dig in, because whenever I post about my Amsterdam exploits, some dipshit always accuses me of making shit up. Glad there’s someone else in this nexus of autism getting his dick wet. Doesn’t sound like she cared too much about the Kouros, but whatever. Hope it goes well for you.

I don’t have a generic, all season/all occasion fragrance. Do you think Eau Sauvage 17 would fit that bill? I don’t want to be yet another man in BDC.

Don't like sweet fragrances, due to fuccbois who overused One Million. Sweet fragrances will make you smell like a male prostitute.

Really like Versace Pour Homme, don't understand the hate it gets. Really fresh and manly. Same with Eau Fraiche. How's the Dreamer and Dylan Blue? Looking forward for honest opinion about them?

>>14443359
Neither. CH Men Prive or Mugler Pure Havane.

>>14436640
based and coolwaterpilled

>>14443625
Parfum 17 that is.

Whats a really famous and popular contemporary fragrance today? Compared to old fragrances everything is so sweet and unoffensive. Comparing guerlains green vetiver to newest l'homme scent is comparing coffee to strawberry bubble gum. Eros, invictus, D&G light blue... its all so sweet. There is nothing inherently bad about that, but it seems like they are some kind of kiss-ass scents.

>>14443660
I tested generic designer mass pleasers in the mall today. I actually prefer Dylan Blue over Sauvage and BdC. It has a certain elegance and feels very light which I prefer. I didn't like the Fraiche flanker (something strange in the smell) or Pour Homme so much. Absolute beginner noselet here though.

If I want a generic mass appealing designer summer frag for work once I've used up my samples of each should I go for either...

>>14443941
lmao piss off and go do some strange one handed pushups and spins.

So I need a frag for the winter (evening time in UK) that's appropriate for dinners out, trips to the pub and stuff but not for clubbing.
I like tobacco frags but also aromatic frags, for example if Individuel was more suited for nighttime, I'd wear that outside of work.
Any help is appreciated. I'd prefer designer frags for the pricepoint as my budget is limited, but am open to sampling some niche frags like Chergui, Layton, Oud Wood etc.

>>14444007
Before I finished your post I thought Oud Wood. I’m also in the U.K.

CH Men Prive is amazing. Not the best longevity, but I adore it.

>>14442808
I’m coming back home with a bottle of New York Intense. Their boutique is almost claustrophobically small but the sales guy was really snice. I had a chat with him about fragrances in general (he was wearing oud wood) and Nicolai. Apparently most of their clients are Arabs who spend there thousands of pounds at once, including Kuwait royal family that love Nicolai (this is not so surprising given the location of the boutique in South Kensington where there are more Land Rovers and Bentleys than people). What is surprising is the pricetag which is not as big as you could expect judging from the clientele of the brand. I’d even say that for the quality the fragrances of Nicolai are mindblowingly cheap. I’ve got mine 30ml bottle for £50 with a very nice presentation in a magnetic box. I wouldn’t be surprised if the price started increasing to match more of Roja/Xerjoff levels. Again, I was blown out by the quality of these fragrances. Intense versions last on me around 8h which is very unusual on my skin and compositions scream of natural ingredients. Apart from New York Intense my favourites were Patchouli Intense and Cape Neroli. You should check out Nicolai Parfums boys.
>>14443344
Not so sure. She wasn’t definitely disgusted or anything by it.
Bumble doesn’t work there well. There’s barely anyone on the app.
>>14443450
Thanks. Still waiting for you to bang Alex the /fragqueen/ this autumn.

>>14444136
I will do my best. Worst case scenario, I’ll just get an extra booking with one of the ladies from my usual agency. Sure would be nice to see Alex, though...

Looking forward to frag shopping in Amsterdam, too. Maybe grab a bottle of Amouage Portrayal, maybe Aventus Cologne, maybe Skins or De Bijenkorf’ll have something else interesting, like Tuxedo last time.

thats what they are designed to be, crowdpleasers.

i think the time when big fashion houses did daring fragrances is over, look for niche

>>14435466
Is OP Pic related one I should test for the summer?

so did anyone actually try jeremys parfume?

Why are certain fragrances only suited for a particular reason? Is this a meme?

>>14444136
I’m seriously considering of reducing my collection to these 5 bottles + MDCI Chypre Palatin once the summer will be over (I use only cheapies over summer anyways). This covers pretty much every occasion and season other than hot summer in UK. Having just 6 bottles and decanting/sampling new stuff seems to me like quite chill idea as well.
>>14444007
Kek, I’ve just seen your post once I’ve finished writing the above reply to mine. Maybe these would be useful for you.
>>14444177
Fingers crossed. Also snice numbers.

PSA: fragrancebuy is having a sale this weekend for a Canada day. There are codes for Americans and Canadians (they’re on the front page), plus you can get some free stuff.

Also, Cedrat Boise is a door crasher for 80 maplebux.

>>14436918
I got most of my compliments out of DSquared Rocky Mountain and One Million

have you used fragrancebuy before are they reliable? The 35$ free shipping looks nice

>>14444521
I use them frequently and they’re 100% legit. Never had a problem ordering from them in the least.

Also, at least cording to the email I got, you get 10% off your order if you use the code.

>>14444524
what are good blind buys under 50 dollars?

im tempted to get a bottle of tam dao because its over 200$ everywhere but cant justify spending that much when its not absolutely necessary right now, poor life is worst life

>>14444527
Check the sticky in the OP. Affordable snice scents. That’ll help you better than I can.

>>14444291
I'm seriously considering blind-buying Kouros

I love vintage scents, sell me on it

I want a new frag.
Im too picky - but i think thats a good thing.

Anything green like philosykos with more of a woody drydown as opposed to the coconut?

>>14444291
How is the chergui?

Is Kilian Straight to Heaven Extreme discontinued or something? It’s sold out everywhere, even on Kilian’s own site. I want a bottle, but I can only find the original, which I don’t like as much.

I want a small mini bottle of diesel fuel for life as a night fragrance whats the best/cheapest place to get a small 5ml mini or 15 ml bottle if those even exist

I just got a taster set of 4160 Tuesdays London. Quite snice niche perfumery.

>Scenthusiasm
Dislike - smells literally like Hendricks gin. You might be interested though pal >>14438034
>Rome 1963
Dislike - not particularly surprised as I hate dark chocolate + turberose accord. For the very same reason I don't like Café Tuberosa Atelier Cologne.
>Ealing Green
It's OK - too powdery, smells like grandma's closet.
>Another Kiss
It's snice - too feminine but definitely lovely composition. It reminds me of one of rose Tom Fords but I don't remember which one and Malle's Portrait of a Lady with patchouli's sweetness there replaced by cinamon leaf (?). I might cop a bottle for my girlfriend.
>Lion Cupboard
Love - amazing tobbacco leaves and cocoa. It's pity that the anise note is so prominent because it reminds me a bit of some oriental dish thanks to it. I've tested all of these on paper strips though, so hopefully on my skin it'll be a bit different.
>Freeway
Love - I don't know how McCartney's done it but it's the first tobacco fragrance that asks to be worn in summer. It's really fresh thanks to vanilla, orange and cannabis notes. Tobacco adds additional dimension to this fresh combo that makes it deep and sexy. I might get a bottle if I will go through the sample fast.
>Shazam
Love - amazing cedar that has so much of character and boldness that I've mistaken it for oud at first. Lovely, very much Serge Lutens-like fragrance.
>The Sexiest Scent on the Planet. Ever. IMHO
Love - literally just bergamot, wood, vanilla, ambergris as listed on fragrantica. But it's indeed very sexy and fresh. Might cop a bottle.

Read the sticky indeed. This is some lowerclass mentality my dude to throw 200 bones on something you don't really need just because you've got hyped for it (imo it's absolutely unremarkable). Get your shit together.

London/Poland lad, are you actually Polish? Or do you just know how to speak it?

Also, I tried and then bought 50ml of Eau Sauvage Parfum on your comments. I went to Cambridge today and it’s 31 Celsius and it went fucking nuclear. Whoops. Smells amazing though. It has an opening that reminds me of other generic citrusy, soapy fragrances, but it has a depth that really separates it from the crowd.

>>14445285
cont'd
>>14444632
It's amazing. I don't know if you've smoked a cigar but it has all the nuances of a good tobacco leaves rolled on thighs of hot Cuban milfs. Reminds me a lot of San Cristobal de la Habana but with a cherry plottwist. It's really masculine and comfy at the same time.
>>14444552
I'm not going to sell you on anything you dumbo. Always sample first.
>>14444816
I've actually sold my bottle a couple days ago. I liked it but didn't reach enough for it to be honest to keep it. The fruity notes were reminding me too much of some multivitamin juice albeit they were smelling of good quality. However, everyone who likes Aventus should try it as I really think it's down the same alley and I actually prefer it over Creed (but I should add that I'm not a big fan of Aventus whatsover)

I love 4160 Tuesdays. I own bottles of Dark Heart of Old Havana, Centrepiece, and Eau My Soul. Love them all. Extremely underrated house. She just makes very fun, interesting scents. Nothing too pretentious, nothing that’s trying too hard to be fancy. Just high-quality and unapologetically fun.

>>14445516
Also tried that in Cambridge. The piss and arse really weren’t that noticeable. Pretty snice, but definitely see how it can turn people away.

>>14444206

Ya, it's a molecular concoction of paradisone, norlimbanol and ambroxan with an Aventusy/Invictusy fruity feel throughout. Nice as fuck and gets noticed but I cannot recommend it until it drops to regular prices, maybe $70-80 for a 100mL. Severely overpriced.

>called Aqua
>Has no water notes

This triggers /frag/

Yeah, I’ve heard also that she’s really nice person. Might pop in to their workshop in London. I’m keen on testing your choices.


On my way to US. I was very disappointed that it’s not really any colder where I’m going than in UK right now. I took decants of New York Intense, Bright Neroli and Carven L’Eau Intense. I’m staying overnight on Heathrow so I hope to hit up on some talent in the champagne bar.

>>14435466
favorite perfume for women?

>>14445891
>Aqua Fahrenheit
It should be called Aroma Fougerenheit

>>14445960
Dark Heart is very interesting. It’s very sweet, almost sickly sweet, boozy, has some tobacco, a lot of semi-fermented fruit, sort of burnt sugar accord. Great for winter, wouldn’t try it during the summer. Again, not fancy, but fun.

Centrepiece is sort of an exotic floral-vanilla. You definitely get the frangipani. Also pretty sweet, so also best for winter.

Eau My Soul is a bit smoky, a bit woody, boozy, but not too sweet. Kind of smells a bit like jasmine tea to me. A lot of sandalwood, too. I’d say it’s light enough to wear during the summer, heavy enough for winter. Pretty versatile. My favorite from the house so far.

I also like that her prices are pretty reasonable. Far too many indies out there charging Creed-level prices (or higher). You can get full bottles of her scents even if they’re something you probably won’t wear too often guilt-free.

Also, have a good trip, brother. I usually only bring one full bottle when I travel (usually MI). Maybe when I go to Amsterdam again in the fall, I’ll try bringing a few decants. Always interesting to get the ladies’ reactions to different scents. I remember last trip, Tam Dao got much more mixed reactions than MI.

went to the mall. most fragrances smell like nothing but alcohol for me. am i retarded?

should i waste money on "chanel allure homme sport extreme" or is it oversaturated and not unique since a lot of people know about it?

>>14446235
yeah

>>14446259

Margiela has not been a part of the house for a long time, the fragrance line has nothing to do with him. They tend to smell cheap and poorly constructed, imo.

Going to the mall to sample some fragrances later. Which ones should I look out for? I used to wear Sauvage but stopped wearing it after I noticed literally every man in public uses it. I'm in my early 20s so I don't want something too sophisticated.

Sikkim Girls is worth a look, too, if you like white florals, though it is quite feminine if that bothers you. I have a friend who loves Dirty, and it's a favorite mint from one of the Fragrantica editors (https://www.fragrantica.com/news/Best-in-Show-Mint-2019--11758.html)), but I think it's merely okay.

btw, none of them have great openings imo so let whatever you try sit for like 10-15 minutes

>>14447547
>Kouros
It objectively smells bad.

>>14447584
Does it "smell bad" because of the association with urinal cakes, which might have been scented based on Kouros?
Just like how washing detergent smells like Cool Water. Hell the washing up stuff at my work smell like a mix between Dylan Blue/Sauvage/CW

>>14447587
I can't enjoy lavender anymore because it just smells like laundry detergent

>>14447584
It doesn't

>>14447584
It smells like incensey soap. How is that bad?

>>14447366
>>14447572
Cool, thanks for the recs. I’ll look into those.

>>14447565
It depends where I am. I mostly only do it when I travel, and never in the U.S. (unless I’m in Nevada and can do it legally), because the laws there are insane.

>>14447725
Kouros smells like the soap bar in a urinal

>>14447587
Whether urinal cakes are based on kouros or not doesnt change the fact that kouros smells like a urinal cake.
