I used to have this a while back- before I've gotten into fragrances and I've never realized until now that it's actually the aqua version and that it's discontinued. I'm kinda bother about it cuz I've loved it so much that I want another bottle. How different is it from the regular (current) Fahrenheit? Would I like the regular Fahrenheit just as much, if not more?

Fornicate.

>>14892014
I hate that scent. Back in the 90s it was very popular and smelled really heavy and annoying tacky.

I don't know if I should spend the $100 that i got on X-mas on frags or whiskey

Reposting from last thread.

I'm pretty new to cologne, and for some reason I wanted one with a strong ambergris smell. I just ordered a bottle of this on sale, and I'm disappointed to see that in the seasonal charts Ive seen online nobody says that you can wear it in the winter. Is that true? I have a bottle of Nautical Voyage and it definitely wouldn't work well in the winter, is this the same case?

>>14892028
Frags are more fulfilling, fren. I've also cut down on vaping so I'm looking forward to spending more on frags/fashion. Also redpill me on Dylan Blue? I don't know why i didn't like it much when I tried it that one time. (was a newfag)

Any recommendations for a summer appropriate Eau Sauvage Parfum? Ordered a sample of Eau Sauvage Cologne but expecting to be disappointed

Redpill me on clones. Could they smell the same as the original and have a similar performance?

>>14892078
Probably smells like horrible alcohol after an minutes.

>>14892035
I have no personal experience with it but just from the scent profile plus the consensus opinion it seems like it's not really built for it but I personally like using aquatic scents on rainy days, so if you like it don't be afraid to play around with it.

He is mass producing the main lines or has hired someone to do it for him. I was the one who mentioned it to you last thread. However there are some one off limited editions that will drop every now and then like sova or kiste. But enjoy norne it’s a good frag. I’ve got Baque and it’s fucking based.

he's a piece of shit, and honestly, since he posted his "therapy" video with him and his zoned out wife/tranny about his addiction problem, i can't take anything he says seriously. he's hit rock bottom but still buys shit malle's for close to a grand and tries to convince himself it was a fruitful purchase. eugene is just a lurchy croatleaf faggot with a wife who looks drained and has checked out and a crippling addiction that isn't going to end anytime soon. why anybody thinks he's based here is beyond me.

How does Eros Flame compare to the original? I just ordered a bottle for myself.

>>14892270
Do any of you fags know how many kids fragrance are exactly there? I remember an anon posted a looney tunes frag

I went home for the holidays and my mom bought me polo red as a gift out of the blue.
If you were ever curious, it disappears in an hour, and smells like a fancy bathroom. It goes from being extremely noticeable to hardly noticeable in like 10 minutes.

I like Polo Red out of the Polos but my sisters tell me to use Polo Blue, who's in the wrong?

>>14892299
trashy mint tonka smells like something that would come from a discount mugler.

>>14892327
Don't use either, I'm going to use my bottle of red for gym cologne.

>>14892243
It’s because on top of all those things, he’s also a massive dick (as demonstrated by the vandalism), and incels think that being a dick = alpha = based. They’re so socially maladjusted that they don’t understand the difference between being confident and being an asshole.

What frags would you recommend to help deal with anxiety?

>>14892522
I feel like all my scents are soothing because I personally enjoy them. The best frag to deal with anxiety is one that you adore or associate with good memories, stillness, etc.

Tam Dao though.

Any thoughts on Tam Dao EDT vs. EDP?

>>14892567
I've had a bottle of both and honestly they are pretty much identical.

If im stretching to make a comparison, EDT is a little brighter, might project slightly more. EDP is a little heavier, maybe slightly longer lasting.

Some describe EDT to be more dry and EDP to be more creamy, but I havent really found that to be the case. Try both and decide for yourself.

This appalling guide can be found in the sticky
Are we going to do anything about it?

>>14892560
I do like Vetiver, have a sample of Guerlain's coming soon to compare to Eau Sauvage Cologne's drydown/Tom Ford.

>>14892672

You can totally touch the perfumed skin area with another skin area without issue. Never "rubbing" is a meme, just like EdP > EdT. Here is a perfumer on YouTube doing it.

https://youtu.be/WWvwyjqepyg?t=700

>>14892758
But he's a faggot. You're a faggot.

Lads why/how the fuck is Black Orchid so performant? I sprayed myself about 20 hours ago: like 1.5 sprays on my left arm, and it's still there. It has probably dethroned Eros for longevity in my collection. It beat Antaeus even.

In other news, I might be unironically allergic to frags. I've had this annoying irritated and itchy rash on my neck since maybe summer (when I got Eros and Cool Water as my first frags), and the only major change was me starting to wear fragrances near daily. I've been avoiding spraying the front part of my neck with the rash, mostly because spraying that area now feels like battery acid, and it's still there. My doctor told me he had no idea what it was, and the hydrocortisone cream he prescribed has done fuck all.

WHERE IS MY BELOVED MARGIELA REPLICA VID

EUGENIUS

Got TF Beau de Jour

>Heeley Sel Marin
>Heeley Verveine
>Tauer L'air dus alps suisse
>eldo Fat Eletrician
>eldo Remarkable people
Just tested these today and am going to buy one of them. I am waiting to see how they develop.
In so far Verveine has by far the highest projection, but it's blackcurrant note is a bit annoying. Sel Marin smellss better, but its performance seems to be trash.
Remarkable people and Fat Eletrician are delicious. FE is pretty good on the drydown, and RP lost its "fanta" smell. somewhat. Sort of smells like redoxon now.
Alps suisse smells like a luxury Cool Water. Don't think i will get this one.
I have also tested Acqua di Sale on a strip, but i dont like it so far.

How many samples are too many samples? I have an untold amount of sephora ones that evaporated 5 more montale samples and 6 mancera samples as well

>>14893232
Remarkable people hits me a little too sour, and I’m not a fan of sour smells on my skin. I’m wearing fat electrician now. My bottle honestly feels watered down compared to my sample. The sample was beast. But it’s still a super easy to wear creamy vetiver

>>14893166
Update, put on 2 sprays of Dylan Blue on my neck and one under my shirt. What an absolute fucking miasma. Honestly based, it follows in the tradition of Kouros as a vulgar and excessively virile locker room scent. This shit kills the Eros and yeah it's similar to Aqua Quorum but the miasma effect it creates is a bit different.

>>14893236
Yes, i get this sourness on remarkable people that is a little pungent. It does seem to decreasing over time. My only issue with fat eletrician is that it feels a bit too mature to me.

>>14893244
it's nothing like kouros, it's actually a pleasant scent

>>14892869
Based faggots. I can see why poltards seethe in the face of your promiscuity. Women need an upgrade.

>>14892146
His intro's to ever video are just brutal

My sample of Guerlain Vetiver arrived.
am liking it a lot so far, it doesn't have that something that stopped me from buying a bottle of Grey Vetiver, and at the same time it feels like a more refined version of Mugler Cologne with soapiness dialed down.

like your new vid baldscavenger

>>14893247
Some people say vetiver is an older man scent. Personally I’m 24, and it’s my favorite note

>>14893249
It's a fresh and sweet powdery tonka bean with a lot of dirty musks and incense just like Kouros. The only difference is the nose destruction overload of ambroxan, norlimbanol, and dihydromyrcenol present in Dylan Blue which gives it that scratchy nuclear wood effect instead of the more natural or realistic smelling components used in Kouros. I like DB honestly but you have to understand where it comes from.

>>14893277
I am 20 and i also like vetiver, it just doesnt feel appropriate most of the time, like in TdH, Cartier declaration and similar fragrances. I still have not made up my mind with fat eletrician, though. It definitely has something more juvenile going on. Hard choices.
On a second note, i have decided to dismiss Verveine as it smells too feminine to me. Good citrusy scent with awesome perfomance, though.

>>14892000
Recommendations for an alluring winter frag? I'm running out of Dior homme intense and i really loved it, also got great reactions. Do you think i should just restock or do you have any better alternatives with a similar vibe?

>>14893284
Well I hope in a few weeks or months you stop caring about all that and just wear the smells you wanna wear.

>>14893312
I don't want to wear something that does not ressonates with my personality. It's the same idea with overly feminies fragrances: I may like them, but do not want them on me.

>>14893309
You have to be 18 to post here. Go do your homework boy

>>14893280
Personally I hated Dylan Blue with a passion first time I tried it, thought you were all joking when you said it smelled like Lynx.
Yet, I warmed up to it, appreciated the ambroxan and musk bomb for what it is, a dirty, skanky frag for just putting on when I don't really care.
I suppose I could say the same for Kouros, but I just don't like Kouros.

What are some or the best Cologne?

>>14893334
Secretions Magnifiques, Kouros, Frederic Malle The Night, Civet.

>>14893322
I was at your point to where I’d smell a sample and say “wow I love this but it’s not masculine enough. I’d love to date a girl who wore this”. After a while I just said fuck it >>14893327

Didn’t mean to quote that post at the end

>>14893352
This. Civet is not an animalic, skanky frag. It’s more resinous and balsamic. Very old school, sort of an oriental-chypre. It’s actually very good and very wearable.

>>14893363
I have a tester strip with it in front of me. I like it. I would like to have a cute gf who wears it.

I have only had 4 girlfriends in my life and none of them wore fragrances. At least that i remember.

>>14893402
Guys wouldn’t it be such a Funny goof if I figured out my first gfs perfume and sprayed it on my Fleshlight’s that’s be so funny I bet haha

Nautica Voyage or Mugler Cologne for a cheap clean inoffensive scent?

Ok, so Fat Eletrician is objectively better than Encre Noire, it seems. However, it costs €100 for a rather similar scent. I-i think i will get encre noir and something else, even though i do prefer Fat Eletrician.

>>14893407
I had an ex who never wore fragrance except during sex. She’d always run to the bathroom and spray on some Vera Wang Princess before sexytime. To this day, the smell of the stuff still gives me a boner.

What does /frag/ think of Zara Scent #4?
Loved it at first because it smelled like fresh vanilla to me, but in winter it lost the vanilly note and was straight hars citrus. Sprayed it again today in my room and when I came back it smelled heavenly.
Can't find any good reviews on it and without reviews I don't know what to think.

>>14893454
I dont have any experience with zara frags, but from reviews i have read they are usually clones of more popular fragrances with bad performance.

Thanks bud. A lot of friends have been in town for the holidays and a couple wanted to be in a fragrance review vid. Didn’t want to make it boring autism so I just grabbed two challenging frags for a head to head. Ironically everyone there (2 were off screen) had a positive disposition to hyrax, it still smells like poop but there was more I appreciated about it than my first sample of it. Totally candid they had no idea what was coming so my shock was real when everyone liked hyrax lmao.

Something meditative, perhaps the cdg incense line

>>14893719
That was me. The TLDR is Date smells like Juicy Fruit gum layered over Office and smells like cheap, synthetic drugstore-tier swill. Virtus is actually pretty snice, but the drydown smells a bit too similar to CK One Shock. Not identical, but it’s like how TV smells like a fancier Snicebomb Extreme. Probably not worth the price, but at least /ourcuck/ seems to be trying to make niche-quality frags as opposed to Jeremy who’s very clearly phoning it in.

Also, I accidentally got sent two bottles of Virtus and they threw in some metal refillable travel atomizers, so I can’t complain too much.

>>14893803
>>14893809
Plum jap really rubbed me the wrong way. Soapy oud, not really the plummy oriental I was expecting

>>14893895
He gets free bottles. It’s just my autism probably but I don’t count anyone who doesn’t pay for their collection.

>>14893949
Nice. I kind of hate CK One Shock but it sounds different enough that I could like it.

>>14893933
I find it really grating, I'm sick of my bottle of tuxedo now, it's all I smell once I go looking for it.

>>14893961
Try Vanille Fatale. It’s not super plummy, but it’s more sweet-smoky-balsamic. Very snice stuff.

>>14893965
It’s kind of like a darker, richer CK One Shock. Similar fruity tobacco thing going, but more nuance from the different spices and resins. The opening is really good, though.

>>14893880
Everyone knows what smell to expect from Secretions Magnifiques, so why expect vetiver from Fat electrician?

>>14893911
Those are still accessible from five reputable online retailers but in Russia.

Anything lalique

Fàms can anyone give me a quick rundown on whale shit? The more I dwell into the history of perfumery the more it sounds like centuries old snake oil

My local TJMaxx has a Cartier L'Envol EDP giftset with a 100ml bottle and another 100ml refill for 70 bucks. Is this a good deal? Have never smelled it but I looked it up and it's got really good reviews. Anybody here put their nose to it and should I go back and cop?

>The beauty of the heart is in its bold blend of oakmoss, coumarin, and a notably polite sage, which segregate over time into their sheer myrcene, myrcenol, rhodinal, aniba rosaeodora, and pelargonium constituencies. (This translates to bay leaf, lavender, citron, rosewood, and geranium.) Smell it up close, and the citrus note smells tart and bright, wedded nicely to sweet English lavender, with the herbs lighting the floral bay and spiced rosewood's subtle shadows. Kind of like an evening stroll through the autumn woods. From afar, I get a much less saturnine smell: shaving cream. Very nice.

Basically when a sperm whale gets sick it starts to vomit the food it eats midway through the digestive process. That vomit is run ashore and crystallizes into some greasy rock thing that is ambergris. Nowadays it is rarely ever used, as whales are quite rare and a big part of the ambergris industry in the last came from artificially creating it by taking the content of dead whales’s stomachs.
Some fragrance houses still claim to use real ambergris, like Creed, but I don’t know if I trust them, finding it is simply too sporadically nowadays to justify a production chain. Maybe it is one of the reasons why their batches are so inconsistent.
Everyone just uses ambroxan nowadays, really.

>>14894612
Classique?

>>14894666
It’s not vomit. Sperm whales eat squid, but they can’t digest the beaks. They sometimes get stuck in the whale’s gut and the whale can’t pass them, so they form a waxy substances around the beaks. Eventually, this chunk of waxy stuff gets so big that it breaks off and is passed, or sometimes a whale dies with ambergris inside it and is released during decomposition. The ambergris then floats around and is cured by the salt in the sea water and the sun, which is what makes it smell good. New ambergris smells foul.

>>14892000
Im a new to fragrences and I have $100 to spend. What are some recommendations?

>>14894756
Black Orchid 50 ML for the winter and Versace Pour Homme for the warmer months. Also what smells good to you?

15 hours in, and i have to say i am impressed. Fat Eletrician is still projecting off my skin from my arm to my nose. I have never seen something like this on a fragrance. Most are gone by the 10 hour mark, and those who survive are skin scent.
Verveine had a crazy projection for about 6 hours but died after that. Not even skin scent. Sel Marin only lasted 3 hours on my skin. Shame.
Remarkable people is still going, but very faintly. It never projected decently, but i guess it is cool. Probably realistically lasted for 12 hours.It lost its pungent aspect and is quite nice now, but i think i will end up buying Fat Eletrician due to how delicious is is right now. It reminds me from eletric engineering university, when the professors asked us to create an engine or replace some wiring somewhere. Very realistic and nostalgic.

>>14894756
You can't really take recommendations online for fragrances because nothing will be pleasing to every nose, even the safest ones. You can test out frags at Sephora and even ask for 3 free samples of the ones you are curious in. If you're dead set on blind buying, Versace frags are cheap and safe as fuck. I'd cop Dylan Blue. CK Be is also super safe that I can vouch for, same thing with CK one but I haven't tried it personally.

>>14894769
I really like Black Orchid but it's $63 for 30ml on fragrancenet, which is most of his budget already. Also it's not for every guy because it's girly as fuck and has nuclear performance.

>>14894756
The recommendations >>14894788 set are very good. Do remember to always try the fragrances on your skin and make you choice overnight, if not longer, in order to evaluete the longevity. Your skin chemistry can severely alter both the longevity and the scent itself, so it really is crucial. With $100 you can either buy a pretty expensive designer fragrance or pick 2-3 cheap ones.

>>14894769
I went to my dillards and tried out dior sauvage that smelled really good.

>>14894795
Don't. I started with Sauvage and now i regret it and almost never use it. Or do and find out how a fragrance can be good and bad at the same time.

>>14894430
maybe it got reformulated but i have to disagree hard for lt its an awful fougere that gets trumped by azzaro and nicolai

You don't actually wear perfume to impress girls right anon??

>>14894811
Hell no. Sometimes I do use them to see their reaction once we are intimate, though.

>>14894815
Why aren't you just wearing cool water like chad?

>>14894799
Whats wrong with it?

>>14894824
I do wear Cool Water.

>>14894829
It has become boring due to the trends the industry has set and once you get to know Sauvage, you will start to smell it in every other guy on the street, and that is somewhat annoying.
It in of itself is a good fragrance, but it does not invoke emotions or ressonate very deeply with oneself. Take Cool Water, for example, it is considered a cheap shitfrag by many, but every time I spray it on I am reminded of riding a horse in green fields on a hot summer day wearing my traditional outfit.
If you want to begin with it, like me, Sauvage EDT is a more unique scent, but EDP is more versatile and lasts longer. Parfum is a different story altogether, it is much greener and oakmossy. Very different from the other 2.

Review anon here. New zoologist bat video is up for those interested as I know some of you are. For those of you who don’t want to watch here are the cliff notes: It is sweeter but the bananas were much better than the fruits in it now. It is much more animalic than the last one. It is actually similar to hyrax, surprisingly so the barnyard funk in it immediately struck me as hyrax and I smelled hyrax again last night. Has hay note like chergui. More green less mineral. It’s not cold wet stone like the last. It’s mossy wet rock now. This is more leathery. Basically how I explained it in the video was they turned the mineral down and everything else up. Which sounds good but it’s really not in my opinion. This is barnyardy, I don’t get the rainforest so it should have just stayed in the cave. The fruit notes are good but blown the fuck out by the much louder chad animalic notes. Some florals. Overall do not blind buy. Sample first. Only the OG zoologist fans will like this, it’s next to hyrax and trex as the lines most challenging.

>>14894843
So opt for the EDP if im going to get it?
Thanks for the advice btw.

>>14894824
based roasties. lt

>>14894870
The EDP has a more citrusy opening that is going to attract more attention. The EdP is spicier, which makes it appropriate for formal occasions. I would say most people should begin with the EdT, yes, but do test all of them on your skin, like I mentioned. The ideal test locations are on your wrists and on the inner elbows.

>>14894874
The Eau de Toilette has the citrusy opening. The Eau de Parfum is the spicier one. I fucked up the acronyms.

Anyone know this Aftershave? Nivea Energy. I used to have it and really liked the smell. Is there any "real" cologne that smells like it?

Can't confirm this, but apparently all Nivea Aftershave splashes (not balms) have the same smell, so you don't have to know the exact one on the pic.

>>14894807
Luca Turin is right about a lot of things, but not that. Besides, Azzaro is not nearly as soapy, it's much more earthy and spicy than PRPH. Paco Rabanne is a soap bomb.

>>14895131
>Luca Turin is right about [product name], but not about [product name].
>I can use LT’s reviews agains your shit, but my shit is immune.

>>14894483
By The Fireplace is best suited for winter, jazz club for fall, but At The Barbers is my personal favourite out of the three, though its not particularly strong or long lasting, it is a lovely scent

>>14892000
Goddamn Profumo is the best shit I've ever smelled, I would literally fuck myself if I could

Recommend me some fragrances that have a sophisticated, smart vibe.

>>14895264
Dior Homme

>>14894109
Not in the dictionary, you'd think someone versed in an technical, precise field such as stem would also use technically precise language instead of making up words like Trump.

>>14892031
I only recently realized it’s a gay sailor’s torso. My favorite summer fragrance.

What smells unironically like penis and ball sack? Someone has had to have bottled that smell judging by past submissions on this board.

>>14895264

This post is so wrong.

>>14895358
Dior ohm cologne is so good tho
but yes

>>14895390
Try cdg anbar and Lacoste optimistic if you like Dior homme cologne frend

My natural body odor is effay.

>>14895177
I don't post LT reviews or ever reference his writing you fucking nigger.

Also, where did LT say that PRPH is a "trash fougere?" Everywhere I look it says he awarded it four stars.

>>14894033
But I want Dior Fahrenheit EDP apparently they don't sell it at all in North America neither Dior Homme EDP

>my bat review pissed off victor

I guess this is what it feels like to sacrifice free shit in the future to maintain your integrity in the fragrance community. I’m glad I was honest in my thoughts but feels bad I upset him. No wonder so many sell out and just give neutral or better reviews.

>>14895482
Don't know what you're talking about. This is his review from the original guide.
Which is this from?>>14894430

>>14895476
Try to find difference between your first sentence here >>14895131 and a green text here >>14895177. Those messages are next to each other, it shouldn’t be hard, imbecile.

>>14895551
Nothing you said about it was particularly harsh though. I think a difference in understanding of what's "challenging" or not. Curious to know what sort or direction/feedback he gave to Prin, especially since replacing something as beloved as the original Bat must have been a huge responsibility. Still looking forward to your Nightingale and Moth reviews. Keep it up mate.

recommendations for any winter fragrances? I want something a bit richer with tobacco and leather, maybe some cherry notes and maybe some pepper? Nothing too sweet, please.

>>14895553
Yes, that is four stars. That is a good review of Paco Rabanne PH. The quoted review is on FromPyrgos

>>14895554
Again, I don't "use Luca Turin's reviews" for anything. It seems like you struggle with English m8

>>14895563
Chergui

>>14895563
Guerlain l'homme ideal edp is probably a good thing to check out first. Not expensive if you wanna go with a bottle.

>>14895563
>>14895579
also maybe try Bulgari man in black or Burberry L O N D O N. If you're still new to this, sticking to designer stuff for a while will be safer and a lot less risky.

>>14895587
I had a couple of john varvatos before, which I got complimented frequently on. I was considering something a bit more risque.

I am Set

thoughts?

>>14895551
It was a good review

>>14894756
For me its eros

>>14895593
Bourbon is good.

>>14895591
fucking fabulous

BDC EDT and a Razer Mamba for my xmas pressies to myself with the money I've got, yay or nay?

>>14892299
AHS original is better desu

>>14892299
I like AH, AHS, and AHEB all better

>>14894858
Thanks for the review. Sounds like it’s a good thing I got one of the OG bottles! Victor should sponsor you at this point, send you some bottles. I’m sure you’ve probably sold a few people on his frags.

>>14895587
what do you think of CHHC Prive?

How do you feel about Aqua Di Parma?

>>14895531
Neither Fahrenheit nor DH have ever had EDP concentrations. The parfums are what haven't been officially sold stateside.

>>14895774
Dior Homme Intense is an EDP concentration.

>>14895788
Sure, but DHI is not DH

>>14895788
yeah but it's called dior homme intense, not dior homme edp

>>14895774
Both Homme and Fahrenheit EDP came out in 2014 retard

18yo broke university zoomer here. The only scent I have is this. How doomed am I?

>>14895791
>>14895794
Holy fucking based retards

>>14895798
There's a parfum concentration of Dior Homme

https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Christian-Dior/Dior-Homme-Parfum-27417.html

>>14895794

There's a parfum concentration of Dior Homme

https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Christian-Dior/Dior-Homme-Parfum-27417.html

>>14895810
it's called Dior Homme Parfum but really only has edp concentration.

>>14895798
Go ahead and find a single bottle of DH EDP or Fahrenheit EDP. They dont exist.
Fahrenheit / DH Parfum are Parfums, not Eau de Parfum concentrations of Fahrenheit / DH.
They're completely different scents.

>>14895749
I wish but I don’t think he would, my channel is small and I’m not always showering praise

>>14895768
Generally very good quality, and one of the better values in the niche realm
Nothing is unique though

>>14895768
>>14895891

anything with the same smell?

>>14895893
What frag specifically?

>>14895897
acqua di parma colonia essenza

>>14895593
The packaging is way classier than the scents. Most of them are snice enough, but boring.

>>14895800
Lurk a bit and you'll see it's pretty easy to start a small and versatile collection with good quality

>>14895264
Guerlain L'Homme, Dior Eau Sauvage, Prada L'Homme

>>14893563
You're retarded

>>14895593
the fact that they're labeled "Cologne" proves that they're shit.
