You can jump up and down. You can spin around. You can stamp your feet. You can forget to eat. You can scream and shout. You can frown and pout. But Cool Water will always be an aromatic fougere.

>>14466606
>fragrance poor people can afford
why would i fucking bother?

Zoologist should make a Frog scent. They could go aquatic, they could go green, they could go the jungle tree frog route and do kind of an exotic aquatic/green/fruity thing. Lots of options there. I’d be interested to see what they come up with.

>>14466609
Because fragrances are about scent and enjoying them, not price tag. You intellectually bankrupt ghoul.

>>14466609

Don't mind him. He's the mother, and not the wolf.

Well, this one’s off to a fantastic start. Do you autists have to argue about everything? It’s a frag thread. Talk about frags. Stop shitposting.

>>14466678
But nigga, there is no wolf without the mother.

Wearing Montale Red Vetiver today because some retards said it was a clone of Terre D'hermes.

It has the peppery mineral vetiver drydown of TdH but there is a huge grilled meat smoke note up front with a sort of plastic leather as well.


It's just not pleasant. TdH had some notes that people called dirty, musty or mature but I love it, been a piece of cake to wear. Red Vetiver smells cheaper and its unplesant.


However if you're a pajeet who loves frags that fill a whole room and don't care what the room smells like, Red Vetiver is for you. You'll smell stronger than your local designated shitting street.

Any cheaper alternatives to carnal flower?

Where can I find a list of classic fragrances from the 80s and 90s? Or can someone here that's more knowledgeable than me list them here? Frags like Fahrenheit, Le Male, Drakkar Noir, Cool Water etc

>>14466610

Their next one is being teased or leaked. The consensus is either whale or squid from the clues and hints. Due this fall. It is their take on a salty aquatic. I really hope its not an every storm a serenade dock scent. Frog would make sense and be cool. I think dragonfly and chameleon have it covered though so they wont go that direction soon. They need a new dark brooding scent since bat is discontinued. It should be some kind of cave creature. Glowworm would be crazy. A blend of the dark musty with a bright shining light note. I think their sea creature line starts and ends with one since there is only so much you can do with briny aquatic. Mouse would be awesome. Like wet leather must with church incense a small sweet accord...That would actually be amazing. Mouse would be dope.

>mfw Wong lurks here (Seems like the type that would) and takes my ideas

>>14467035
Squid or Whale would be cool as hell. Maybe a salty, ambergris-heavy aquatic. I’ll be looking out for it.

I said frog, because frogs are the unofficial official animal of /frag/. Plus, frogs are cool. There is a fair bit of overlap between Chameleon and Dragonfly, though, that’s true. Maybe they could go with a poison arrow frog or something, make something jungly and “poisonous” smelling. Might be cool.

Glow Worm and Mouse sound cool. What about more bugs? Maybe centipede or beetle? Cicada? Mantis? Event ant would be pretty cool. Maybe something sugary, but with kind of an acidic, vinegary accord? Maybe spider or scorpion? A lot of potentially interesting bug/arachnid scents, definitely a few that could fill the dark/dank niche.

I believe they are making a new Bat. Probably wind up being something entirely different, but may be another darker scent.

Looking for a summer scent that's pure class. What would you recommend?

Dart frog would be really neat. I totally agree the bugs are cool directions. Honestly you could make a competing brand for zoologist that are just bugs. Bugs are everywhere and have different lifestyles. It’s such a fun brand to discuss I wish this board would discuss it more or just have fun making animals frags up... yes I was on the last board sperging about bat. I have a 11ml coming in and I’m stoked to try it. I’ll type up a review here. I heard they maybe remaking it. But if they got cucked by regulations or something it won’t beat the OG. I have hyrax and civet samples coming with it. I have moth, dragonfly, chameleon, and dodo already. Moth is really cool, underrated not very talked about. Zoologist does great animatic nofes. Want to try rhino

Whats your favourite M. Margiela Replica?

>>14467391
+1 to Royal Mayfair, I love it. Its a bit jarring at first because you definitely get the alcoholic notes pretty strong at the start, but on my skin it dries down to the cedar / pine notes with a hint of light citrus, its a greaty light woodsy scent that smells pretty comforting

I have Bat, Dodo, and Chameleon. Love them all. I may cop Dragonfly, Panda, and Elephant. I liked Camel too, but I already have Serge Lutens Arabie, and the two are so similar, I just can’t justify having both.

Rhino gave me a headache, personally. It’s just very harsh. It should be, Rhino should not be a gentle scent, but it’s just not for me.

>>14467396
Sorry he wasn’t spamming Kouros copypasta or shitposting about whether Cool Water is an aquatic or not, faggot.

>>14467733
This. Bijenkorf does have some good high-end niche stuff, too. Plus the prices for Creed frags are way lower in Europe, even after accounting for the exchange rate. Might be worth grabbing if there are any you want.

Let’s talk about something else. Come on. For people not just passing through and are regulars it’s really tiring

Guys, how many sprays of Cool Water for a qt wife like this?

>>14467971
Fougeres are a style based on invariably lavender, coumarin, and most of the time bergamot/citrus and some kind of moss or amber in the base. Cool Water is an "aromatic" fougere because it contains the basic framework but also a large amount of aromatic components (coriander, peppermint, rosemary, orange blossom, etc). The so called "aquatic" feeling you are getting is from an aromachemical called "dihydromyrcenol" which smells like an abstract metallic fruity fresh thing. It does not contain brown algae, calone, or anything which defines water despite it's clever marketing.

It feels like this is like the 5th time I've explained it to you but it's really only the second...

Work with enough of them and it won't be so bizarre.

>>14467971
https://boisdejasmin.com/note/fougere

http://www.basenotes.net/threads/428033-Fougere-classification

The confusion is based on the name and the path reformulations took.

Where you aware that Cool Water was one of the original "inspired by/clone" fragrances? It was a designer version of Creed Green Irish Tweed, and made by the same nose too.

The original Lancaster version of CW was WAY heavier, dense, and more green. It was a designer GIT with a slight "watery" smell due to aromachemicals but the drydown was really close to GIT.


As time went on, restrictions on certain ingredients and formula tweaks took CW away from a heavier fougere and to what it is today.

Coty Aspen was a clone/inspired by version of Cool Water. It's weaker now than it used to be but closer to it's original smell than CW. So if you want to know what CW used to smell like, smell Aspen.


Basically, it's understandable not to call CW a fougere now even though it still is but holy shit if you smelled it when it first came out there was no denying it. It came out in 88, I got my bottle in 89 or 90 I think, smelled a bottle a couple years back and wouldn't touch the stuff now.

>>14468185
This. Brown dudes can be ok if their family has been here enough generations, but fresh off the boats or second generations? They’re hilariously gross little monkey people. Not trying to be racist, but I worked with a ton of them and all the stereotypes are true. We had to fire one dude because his job was answering phones and whenever a women who didn’t sound 80 called, he’d awkwardly hit on her. Also a bunch dudes who didn’t wear deodorant and smelled like ripe ass and thought wearing enough 1 Million to be smelled halfway across the city would make up for it (spoiler: it doesn’t). I have no idea what the fuck is wrong with India, but holy hell does their culture create horrible “men” who are completely lacking in self-awareness.

The Brits leaving was the worst thing to ever happen to that country.

>>14468348
How do you like Beach Hut, anon?
How does it perform in the heat?

>>14468365
Montale yes, Mancera not so much. I wanted Kumkat Wood and Wind Wood to be stronger but they were ghost frags on me.

I need a good bang for your buck fragrance
My fav cologne of all time was terre d'hermes but I can't afford it anymore, any ideas as to what to get based on that? I dislike musky scents and prefer more fruity, "wealthy" scents as opposed to clinical "clean" smelling stuff

>>14468374
I've heard they do two different versions of their fragrances, one is supposed to be room filling and other like weak like you said. Apparently bottles with stickers on the bottom contain the stronger juice than engraved ones. Can's confirm this myself tho.

>>14468371
Great modern take on fougere theme. It's all year rounder but I'd say best suited for spring. Name is kind of weird since it's neither fresh nor it is beachy. Imagine lush and damp thicket more than a beach.

>>14468033

>yfw your husband is a closet homo

>>14468412
now Beach Hut is a fougere, too? holy shit gtfo

>>14468439
Fougere means fern, and it does smell like ferns. I kind of smell lavender in it too so therefore yeah - I think of it as a modern, fresh fougere.

>>14468439
Explain what a fougere is then to us then, since you seem to be the fougere expert. Hard mode, no fucking Margiela, Houbigant, or Histoires mentions.

>>14468422
Not really, to be honest. He’s not bad, but it’s gotten stale. Plus all the dipshits who respond with DOUSE when anyone asks for a recommendation because they don’t understand that memes aren’t real life are obnoxious and add nothing to the thread. Don’t get me wrong, I like Kouros, nothing against it, great frag, but the amount of shitposting it’s causing is getting out of hand.

>>14468621
Everything is a fougere. I had a cupcake with lavender frosting on it once. That cupcake is a fougere.

Anyone try this? I really like L'Artisan in general and the rice+sandalwood (with a little hedione thrown in, too) along with that gorgeous bottle has my interest piqued to almost blind-buy levels despite not even being that much of a Morillas fan

In a thread filled with dumb questions, yours is one of the dumbest.

Your asking for a bottle that no one will ever see to come in plain black, when you know damn well if you ever set foot in Sephora, Macys, Nordstroms etc that the over whelming majority of frags dont come in black bottlea much less plain black.

This is so advance level faggotry, and you could contain it by typing the names into google and answering your own question.

But I'm going to help you anyway.

None of them are plain as in plain black with no markings.

Iquitos, 88 and Ungaro 3 come the closest.

But if you want black bottles the floral genre isn't it.

>>14467035
I'd buy a mousey scent. I love mice. I got a perfume oil called The Mouse's Long and Sad Tale and I love it. Dark and sweet.

Ferns don’t smell like anything in reality, so anything can be a fougere if you try hard enough :^]
Cool Water is a fougere, Eros is a fougere, brown algae is a fougere, urinal cakes are a fougere, smoked pineapple is a fougere

>>14469560
No, you pinhead

>>14467356
Skunk scent when?

>>14469441
Have you tried the vintage? Nearly double projection and longevity with the addition of some french skank notes. Its amazing.

>>14469560
It's a gourmand, obviously

>>14467035
>>14469620
What about squirrel? Could do kind of a green/nutty/woody scent. Maybe cedar, hazelnut, almond, maybe some pine in there, some other stuff to fill it out a bit. Maybe some musky, furry notes. I think it’d be pretty snice.

>>14469672
I can definitely see them doing squirrel, I’d actually gamble that’s coming in a year or two. As much as I want my church incense leather musk : mouse. They kind of have mouse already with moth. But moth is more floral and sweet.

>>14469642

They unironically already have skunk. See: hyrax. It’s the most bombastic animal scent I’ve tired. Piss and shit, but charmingly.

>>14470604
Panda’s probably the closest we’ll get. I’d love a bear scent, though. Could do a polar bear scent, something cold smelling. That’d be pretty cool. A grizzly bear scent would probably be too similar to T Rex.

>>14470615
Forgot they had panda. Yeah I was thinking more like grizzly or black bear. It'd probably smell like damp pine and tree sap imo. Polar bear would be interesting. I wonder how they'd replicate the cold, barren feeling of the ice caps with the strength and predatory nature of polar bears without just going "wintergreen lmao."

>>14470636
I’d think polar bear, they’d go with some mint and oakmoss/arctic plants, some woods, probably musks and leathers, maybe a bit of that blood accord from T Rex. I think the key to an arctic scent would be the botanicals. Oakmoss, like I said above, lichens, juniper, evergreen trees. I’m thinking kind of a non-sweet/fruity, darker version of Vagabond Prince’s Enchanted Forest.

I have a question for the anons in this thread, what are some fragrance that you must have in your collection ?

Zoologist always seemed too gimmicky to take seriously, so I didn't pay attention to them at the beginning (I have the same thoughts with Imaginary Authors, Histoires de Parfum, and.Olfactive Studio; gimmicks masquerading as high-concept thematic perfumes). Are they legit good now?

>>14470701
Zoologists was always good. They are gimmicky, but that doesn’t make them bad. I think they have a fun, interesting concept, and they make some very unique scents. Quality of all their scents is very good. If you’re just looking for panty droppers, they’re the wrong house, but if you like unique, well-blended (albeit it sometimes “challenging”) scents, they’re very worth sampling.

I just picked this up for 3 euros. Stone cold clone of The One. Projects great and lasts numerous hours. What a fucking stunner. Can't even explain how fucking taken aback I am with this. Deal of the century right here.

>>14470114

What does that mean?

>>14471002
Don’t listen to him. It’s a synthetic trash. Certainly not serious perfumery

>>14471002
I find it works best as an summer evening frag or anytime when it's cold outside. It's a very pleasant scent but can be way too heavy for summer daytime. Also, I wouldn't bring it to the office, it's a bold scent and it might be a bit too heavy for the office.

>>14471032
No idea where you get aftershave-grade menthol, but fair enough. It's not a scent for everyone, perfectly acceptable to dislike a scent as long as you can actually verbalize why you don't like it.
>>14471029
You're welcome. If it smells good to you, then it's all gucci.

>>14471042
>Great argument there.
Well what do you want me to say? The thing smells like a fucking floor cleaner. There’s nothing remotely natural about it

>>14471027
>t. niche fag who buys overpriced skunks that smell like some very specific unappealing shit

>>14471067
Oh I am sorry you got your feelings hurt. Not my fault you have a shitty taste. Also I’m not a nichefag I just don’t like terrible perfume

>>14471061
>muh natural
>muh synthetic
doesn't fucking matter, most of the designer scents that you autistic faggots call synthetic smell 100x more pleasant to the average nose than you disgusting overpriced niche that smells like ass of some monkey from south africa

>>14471069
then tell me about your favorite designer fragrances that are so much better than eros, try a similar price range

>>14471073
>then tell me about your favorite designer fragrances
Chanel, Hermes, Dior, Tom Ford

>>14471073
>basing your taste off what normies like

NGMI

>>14471073
Not him but if you want a nice minty/ambery fragrance, try Caron Pour un Homme Sport. v snice and cheaper than eros too

>>14471078
tom ford is good for edgy pajeets and old boomers that want to repell every young woman within the radius of 10m, chanel and dior are mostly very good but it's a different price range, hermes smells like shit

>>14471081
than I have a normie nose too I guess

>>14471082
I'll check it out thanks

>>14471087

totally. i feel it, too.

so on that note: post your "dirtiest" or muskiest scents, /frag/. i want to be ahead of the curve

>>14471096
https://www.fragrantica.com/news/This-or-That-Skanky-vs-Clean-Musks-12495.html

From an hour ago.

Is such a thing even possible??I heard other people say that their frags are stronger when they reach half bottle and with time passage

>>14471087
ive gotten compliments even on things that are supposedly out there like amber absolute from young girls personally. Dont get me wrong theres a number of his scents that I wouldnt wear period but not all of them are unwearable or awful to "normal" people.

>>14471207
I’d say it’s true. I’ve noticed many of my scents getting stronger/more complex after they’ve been able to macerate for a while.

>>14471207
Not the sort of thing you mean exactly but my bottle of BDC EDP was super harsh to my nose and gave me a headache so I left it a month before wearing and it mellowed nicely

>>14471073
>that smells like ass of some monkey from south africa
Could have just said Kouros

>>14471257
Kouros smells like african cat's ass though.

>>14471267
HOT

>>14471207
Yes, this is very much a thing.

Well, after about a year after its discovery, I think I will settle for "This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.1" as my signature frag. It was love at first sniff but it was so early on in my fragrance discovery that I felt I was missing something. So I bought a ton of samples and bottles, but still, this one stands out. Also it's affordable.

Shoutout to Clive Christian Rock Rose, except it's expensive as fuck. It's like 1 dollar per spray.

Where are the best places in montreal? I've visited Sephora and Etiket, going to visit Holt Renfrew today.

>>14470943
>"panty dropper"

lasts 10 minutes on me.
shite

>>14471482
Holt Renfrew is probably the best bet for niche frags. It’s overpriced as fuck, though. Not a ton of great frag shops in Canada, though we get fragrancebuy, so that kind of makes up for it.

>>14471511
Please stop. These are cringe af. I feel genuinely embarrassed for you.

>>14471482
>>14471496
I just visited holt renfrew and i decided to visit the clothes first ... shit is so expensive I was feeling absolutely inadequate. I saw a shitty looking Tom Ford vest for 4000 dollars. This is when I knew I was not in the right place.

Well the fragrance floor was better. In the end I got a sample of Mojave Ghost by Byredo. The creed frags suck desu.

I can't stop watching Jeremy videos they're so comfy for some reason

>>14467146
My first choice would be
>Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Cologne
Some other great options are
>Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDP
>Terre d'Hermes Eau Tres Fraiche
>Guerlain Homme L'Eau Boisee

>>14471796
Sales dopamine. Damn, guess you are confirmed NPC/brainlet.

Zoologist Wolf: literally just Kouros.

>>14471766
I love Mojave Ghost. That sapodilla note is very unique and super snice. Not for everyone, I admit, but I wound up copping a bottle.

>>14466609
What a faggot. lmao

>>14471814
Don't kid yourself. If you are in this fragrance hobby at all you get the same sales dopamine buying poopy niche fragrances as Jeremy fragrances.

>>14471104
Jovan Musk is like $10 on Amazon, both men and women's versions. Worth a try?

Also, that article recs the women's version, even for men. Anyone here ever compare them?

>>14471087
>he wears cologne to get attention from women.

What a homo.

>>14467146
I layer these two

i was scrolling and meant to reply to zoologist moth question. I have a sample. It’s a musty gothic floral with honey. It leans feminine but it’s overall unisex. It smells like a haunted house in the best possible way. Strange an haunting. Definitely sample before but but it’s an intriguing scent. Zoologist overall is very high quality. But very niche. Everything is “challenging”. Even the most wearable are strange. But that’s not a bad thing, I love it. BAT MOTHERFUCKING CAME IN TODAY. I’ll smell it tomorrow and post my thoughts. I got samples of civet and hyrax. They threw in a free camel sample too which is dope because I was curious about that one and rhino

>>14471856
kek based

>>14471890
Jovan Musk is unironically the champ for layering. It's cheap, provides better longevity and adds a nice dimension to most of my frags. It's my secret weapon.

Should I cop a tester of this?About to go on vacation and wanted something new.

Thoughts on storing EDP in the fridge?

>>14472355

Does Ariana Grande's Cloud really smell like BR540?

>>14472430
You mean her fart cloud? *sniifff*

>>14472224
good to hear. do you have the men's or women's version?

Lads this is so fucking good holy shit

Anybody own CDG Nomad tea of Lily? How is the performance?

>>14472527
What's good about it?

>>14472520
Men's. Buy it from Wally World. Don't spray too much of it. 1-2 goes a loooong way if you're gonna layer it.

>>14467035
they should do Jew next

>>14472574
well now that you mention it, what scents scream "i'm filthy rich"?

My dad has a mostly used bottle of CK Contradiction in the bathroom, I'm guessing it was a present for him from my mum when it first came out.
He's not interested in frags but should I get a bottle cheap for the nostalgia factor?

>>14472430

I have smelled cloud but I have not smelled BR540. If the fabled and hyped BR540 actually smells like cloud I am done taking any advice from mainstream fragcom channels. Cloud is unicorn farts for 15-19 year old girls

How many vial sprays are worth one bottle spray?

>Diors Sauvage

Is this weak or is it just me? I spray like 3-4 and it lasts like two hours max.

>>14472878
If it's a bottle that you just bought, you'll probably have to wear it for a few more weeks until the juice inside gets stronger on its own. I dont know how this process works but I definitely encounter this happening almost every time I get a new bottle of something. Sauvage is known for it's nuclear performance so definitely wait it out.

>>14472897
Alright, it's somewhat new, 3-4 weeks. I'll see how it goes.

Was out for some days, just finished reading last thread and damn, I got some feels reading anons' scents related memories. Kinda makes me feel like I'm missing something by being a selfish fuck who doesn't wan't to commit to a relationship.

>>14472574
They already have an ash-based scent in Moth.

Any good tobacco+lavender frag? I liked that about Dreamer.

Blind buy

>>14473061
fairly safe blind buy. unless you are really adverse to a juniper/gin smell or wanted something really light for summer, you won't be disappointed

I'm so glad that I took Bright Neroli and Carve L'Eau Intense with me for a trip. It's around 30 degrees here every single day. So I pulled a trigger on the sample set of MDCI. I ordered 2x Chypre Palatin and 3x Invasion Barbare. The fact that money spent on these can be deducted from the full bottle price makes their bottles not as pricey as I thought. I hope they'll arrive at UK before me.

Also I went to a club last Friday and holy shit literally every zoomer was wearing 1 million. I'm used to notice it in clubs in Europe as well but not to that extent. I'm also surprised with girls here - I expected that half of them will be obese SJW amerimuts but most are quite cute (but a bit boring blonde copies of eachother). On the other hand they are as slutty as stereotypes say - I pulled out one chick from the club who was like 19yo to my place and she wanted to do anal.

>>14469441

Have you ever thought of forming your own genuine thoughts on your own?
>>14470665
That's quite nice colection Anon. Congratulations. I love rose+oud frags however, Oud Ispahan was way to feminine for me. I prefer Black Aoud over it albeit it's missing some of nuances of Dior. How is Leather Oud?
>>14471906
Havana is such an underrated scent. One of my favs for autumn. It's quite mature though.
>>14472288
It's very snice but sadly vanishes on my skin whatsoever after 2h. Have you tried the extreme version? Imo it's more rounded and modern.

>>14473115
I miss the old mass replier....

>>14470150
What ysl frag is that next to the small farenheit? Jazz?

>>14470150
Nice I just smelled Paco Rabannes Pour Homme a few days ago at an outlet store and it quickly became one of my favorite old school scents

>>14473212
Jizz

Just found ADP Fico de Almafi for $64 at tjmaxx should I cop

>>14473079

Thanks. No I've smelled Penhaligon's Juniper Sling and Gucci Guilty Cologne before, which i both enjoyed. I was able to cop this one for $60

>>14473115
>Have you ever thought of forming your own genuine thoughts on your own?

Is English your first language?

>>14473212

Rive gauche. Really great.

>>14470645

>How is Davidoff?

I'm assuming you mean Cool Water and not Silver Shadow in the background. Smells like straight up toilet cleaner in the opening than mellows out to be like a manly deodorant like smell. Good performance which you'd expect from a synthetic smelling frag.

>Maison Margiela Replica - At the Barber's

Idk what to say really. Smells like an expensive shaving foam. I prefer Rive Gauche though, both smell and performance wise.

>Fahrenheit

I have the chance to own an OG 1988 bottle (small one), as well as a 2018 batch. They smell pretty much alike. Strong gasoline smell. Great performance.


Hope that helps.

>>14473333
it lasted 20 minutes on my skin.....but most frags do.

I loved it.

Quads say buy it

>>14473360
azzaro ph is as good and doesn't have the price tag

>>14473434
It also still exists. Rive Gauche is gone forever.

>>14473439
What? I can find it in like 5 webshops in my country? It is Rive Gauche pour homme right?

>>14473439
if you want to make an investment there are better objects to throw your money at.
Current RG is the lame cousin of the original RG. look at the prices of the original RG on ebay. The current RG will always be worth less.

>>14473462
Yes, the square bottle has been recently discontinued for good in the USA and is in the process of being discontinued worldwide. If you try adding it to your shopping cart it's going to be pretty likely that it'll say it's out of stock after the fact.

>>14473466
Oh okay, any other of the square bottles ysl frags being discontinued? I really liked pour homme when I had a sample of it

>>14470665
Citron noir is such a nice frag for summer, how do you like it?

>>14473333
I would say yes
Fico is my fave from their blu med line

>>14473517
I got it. Do not regret.

I'm a guy in his mid 20's with a babyface. I still often get ID'd for drink.
My collection so far has been cheapish frags (Issey Miyake, ADG Profumo, Fuel for Life, Individuel etc) but given I can afford jackets and jeans from Alpha Industries, Lacoste, A&F as well as looking into getting some hypebeast tier accessories, I'm wondering if I should increase my frag budget a little?
I don't mind sampling niche frags but where should I start? I'd like an all rounder for summer as well as a heavy but not cloying autumn/winter frag that'll cut through the cold but not be too obscure smelling.

>>14473554
Might as well explore the world of Aventus and Aventus-likes.

>>14466545
My son Skylark got me a cologne called mason margella in the fireplace and I really like it. I usually wear cool water. I might try new colognes and buy my son some I love my son and he likes colognes. I didnt know if this was the place to post this or not.

>>14473554
You need some alpha Kouros shit brah, drop the hypebeast accessories and go 9 sprays to the chest

>>14470398
He does wear niche fragrances, he just shills the mall ones because typically those are the most popular ones with women. If you look at his collection there’s a bunch of niche shit in there.

It’s not even that women like them the best. Women tend to like whatever you’re wearing if they like you. It’s that the #fragrancejihad Arabs/Pajeets think women like them the best, and they only watch because they think wearing a “panty dropper” will totally get them tons of female attention like Jeremy gets (pays for) in his videos.

Jeremy’s a salesman and he wants everyone to love him. Of course he goes “mass appealing” in his videos.

Try layering Kiehls Musk and Guerlain Vetiver. Combo is a floral vetiver with a golden musk base. Better than Bal D'Afrique which is a similar theme IMHO. It smooths some of the rough edges from the vetiver and brightens it up, and tones down the soapy side of Kiehls. I think it would work even better with Grey Vetyver but not so much with Encre Noire.

Any suggestions for an orangeblossom, jasmin or lily frag? I really liked carnal flower but it is out of my price range

A LARPing perfumer wannabe just got banned from Basenotes! LOL

Should I buy it? it's for winter (winter here). I love Bleu de Chanel but already have it.

Others have recommended me Dior homme.

>>14474153
who?

>>14473115
>have you tried the extreme version?
I haven't but I'll probably try that instead.Thanks.

>>14474162
I have it. I like it. Smells kinda like styrofoam in the opening but it’s a really nice fall/winter scent. In all honesty I’m thinking of selling my bottle to get Tuxedo but if you want it get it.

>>14470940
Hello, lad! Go to Bloom and speak to manager Oksana (blonde) and cons Alla (both Russians), avoid having conversations with that male faggot.

Zoo is overpriced af. Try Piere Guillame (probably diff spelling) instead.

The only nice thing for that boutique is that you have poss to buy any sample for 2£

Les Senteurs is better place, more down to earth frags. Cute redhead cons (studied in France btw). Up to 2 free samples.

How’s Gucci? I heard it smells like tea

How do you guys ever empty a bottle? I've been wearing 4 sprays of zara rich leather to work for the past 2-3 months and barely made a dent (maybe 10% gone).

Thoughts on these ralph lauren scents? I like the black and green one. What does /fa/ think?

Guys, what's special about Aventus? I mean it's expensive but the smell isn't unique. Why is it so expensive then? Is it because the ingredients are 'high quality'? Is that even a thing in frags?

>>14474759
friend has polo red intense, he let me try it out and i didnt like it. i told him it has a feminine element and he agreed.

>>14474599
>>14474738

From left to right (behind) - givenchy pi, annick goutal ambre fetiche, rochas pour homme, amouage memoir, desert suave, amouage interlude, aramis tobacco reserve, nikos sculpture, quorum puig

Gucci Pour Homme II is a nice parfume, smells like tea and a touch of honey but sillage and longevity are poor((

Upd about Les Senteurs - you cannot buy any samples directly from offline shop, 2 free samples maximum. From online even Yatagan is >3£ for 1ml sample with stick, overpriced af. Full bottles are overpriced as well BUT there I ve purchased Desert Suave when it wasn’t available literally anywhere in the West Europe online, other locations don’t get my trust, from US is expensive tax/delivery.
Avoid buying from them on most occasions, expensive.

It's produced by Creed, a quarter-millenia old grand maison that catered exclusively to royalty until lately. It might seem expensive to us normal folks, but not so much to the kings and queens of Europe.

I'm sure there's some ingredients that are expensive due to logistics and maybe rarity, but most of the shit is dirt cheap. you could probably just make your own fragrances, people believe too much of the hype behind these designers.

Get Dior Homme Intense or The One by D&G. You can't go wrong with either one of those in the winter.

Got a sample of Bentley Intense lads.

wanted to like it so bad, I love the original it's my signature winter scent. sport smells like pickle juice on me. literally just smells like I doused myself with pickle juice.

>>14470973
it's pleasant but too youthful. don't rec for anyone over 25. it also smells kind of cheap, like if you told me it was by old spice I'd believe it. eau fraiche is less obnoxious.
