Don't bother with MFK. There shit smells so boring.

>>14974670
No you won’t, you little pissant.

R8 the collection- any recommendations based on my taste?

Explain why is this cheap bydlo trash so popular.

Let me take you on a journey, friend. You’re on vacation in San Francisco, you return to your hotel but have forgotten your room number. You walk into the room of another guest by mistake. Immediately upon entering, you notice that a bunch of sweaty men are fucking on a bed shaped like a giant martini glass covered with sequins. YMCA is playing on a loop on the room’s sound system, a disco ball hangs from the ceiling, a large TV displays episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race. John Waters is sitting on a chair in the corner sipping a cosmopolitan.

Ultra Male is gayer than that room.

>>14974721
>You’re on vacation in San Francisco
no i'm not, stopped reading right there

>>14974686
Seconding this. Their sample set is a good deal compared to their actual prices, but nothing from the house was special to me.

Luka Magnotta gore video showed Luka's bottle of Le Male.

>>14974732
Really can't beat six 2 ml samples of niche shipped international express for like $14-16. Only reason they're a disappointment is the big hype around FUCKCUMBUTT and oud satin mood, and the fact that you know that the full bottles are retardedly expensive.

>>14974670

>>14974730
It’s a hypothetical scenario, my most likely homosexual friend.

>>14974686
I got their sample set, and I have to agree with you. BR450 sucks, just like the meme guy says it does

>>14974653
I really hate the fact that Serge Lutens doesn't do sample sets. They have tons of stuff, but none of the shops in my city carry their line.

Ok, so tell me what you think of this. We need to make a distinction between fragrances as art (like music) and fragrances as accessories. If the fragrance is an accessory, it MUST have good longevity and projection, otherwise no one will be able to smell it, and it will have no effect. If it doesn't have good longevity/projection, then it DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL how nice it smells. The scent impression becomes completely irrelevant. I've been thinking about this as I've been testing this box of samples of fragrances Luca Turin told me were good (Apres L'ondee, Le 3' Homme, Calandre, others). They're interesting, but they're almost all gone after 15 minutes unless I put my nose right up to them. For me, that negates the value of the fragrance as an accessory. I'm starting to think we need to have fragrance galleries so the artsy people will hang out together and stop recommending fragrances I can contemplate but not actually wear. Discuss. (By the way, Azzaro PH is this for me. 4 sprays managed to vanish almost immediately, and I don't wear it every day or anything. Note: olfactory fatigue doesn't neatly explain why I'm getting this effect from new fragrances with only one spray.)

No weakness. Truly the Vitor Belfort of fragrances.

>>14974765
something about that brand screams peter murphy to me, I wish they did too anon
>>14974771
hes one sweaty bastard, i like fragrance as art but it has to be something akin to classical french perfumery and not some degenerate modern shit, m i n i m a l, or made for an automaton gender neutral pronoun person. All perfume should be loud af. i Im really too tipsy after being up at 1 and my thoughts too disjointed to give a good reply.

I need fragrances that men appreciate but will keep females unattracted to me. AKA the Master and Commander meme of fragrances

>>14974807
I got some of that good

>>14974814
do you have that much of a problem fighting females off?

>>14974827
It's become exhausting. I'm thinking heavy ouds or just dabbing gasoline on myself. Or maybe leaning heavily into the feminine fragrances will be off-putting for women to smell on a guy?

>>14974814
Anything vetiver

>>14974716
it's cheap bydlo trash. also a good fragrance

>>14974814
Based king. I've had the same issue, i have found that anything too unisex/sweet will repel women, i have a bottle of armani code profumo that i hate but use anyway for that reason, since it doesn't suit me at all it works, i have heard that encre noire is the best in that category though, haven't smelled it so i can't say for sure

why do we care what women think again? im confused. theyre all such control freaks anyway, anything you put on some female will have a problem with.

Platinum Egoiste smells soooo good Bros. Just got back from a Sephora run and took home a couple samples: Egoiste, Eau Sauvage, and Prada Black.

I use 3 spray of Kouros and after a few hours the scent stays only on the skin. It's not even particularly strong on projection early on either. Isn't it supposed to be "beast mode"?

>>14974884
What do you think of Prada black?

>>14974716
Trip codes are starting to pop off around here.

>>14974686
I judged the entirety of MFK by how bad BR540 was. I unironically won’t even bother with another frag from the house. I was that let down. Charging close to 300 dollars for some cherry scented iodine I have in my vitamin cabinet. Don’t call it too high IQ for me. I can get two zoologist bottles (Except bee and trex) for that.

>>14974869
Females like whatever you have if they like you. Chad can wear Frederic Malle the night and get a dozen compliments in one night. Non chad will get told to take a shower. Ignore most complimented videos and buy what you like.

>>14974898
It's pretty sweet, I smelled it a while back at a boutique so I'm glad I can wear it around now. It smells spacey and sweet, definitely suits a younger guy.

Anybody here tried Ferrari bright neroli?

>>14974814
Cdmi

>>14975238
Yes. It’s very pleasant and performs well for the price. What would you like to know?

Hello guys :))

>>14974771

agree with you 100%. There should be a distinction between the art fragrances, fragrances you wear to complement your style/outfit, and fragrances that are more aromatherapy (classic Eau de Cologne fleeting but comforting scents that are designed to be sprayed often).

To more accurately gauge longevity, try spraying on your collarbones underneath your shirt. This tip I learned from watching a Roja Dove video and it has vastly improved my experience when wearing fragrances.

>>14974869
good if you want to use fragrances to make you appear sexier

>>14974999
>Females like whatever you have if they like you. Chad can wear Frederic Malle the night and get a dozen compliments in one night. Non chad will get told to take a shower. Ignore most complimented videos and buy what you like.

To a certain extent this is correct. There will be some girls who just hate certain scents no matter which guy is wearing it. For fragrances you want to use for seduction, buy one or two from the most complimented videos as a good starting base, then go fragrance shopping with her and see what other fragrances can drive her wild for you.

>>14975025
Giorno will be wearing Acqua di Gio during the journey to becoming Boss. There is this freshness and calm/composed energy that matches Giorno in a way without being too juvenile. As Boss, he might switch to something less aquatic because he is no longer traveling around Italy by boat as much.

Bruno might be wearing Acqua di Gio Profumo because he is a little bit more mature and more of a leader.

Abbachio is wearing Sauvage because it fits his polarizing character without being too off putting.

No real clue what Fugo, Mista, and Narancia would wear that would match their personality.

>>14974999

I hated BR450, but Grand Soir and Petit Matin are actually pretty good, if you can try them I recommend it.

>>14974595
Only really used Egoist by Chanel, so I guess I'm a casual at this. Thinking of going up in the world and getting Ermenegildo Zegna's Indonesian Oud. It is obviously a very different scent and kind of scent. But I'm tentatively thinking of throwing down some hard money for this stuff now. Is this a "good" scent/ a good start at getting serious?

>>14975486
>petit matin
It's nice but there are other frags who do the lemon and lavender "cologne guy" thing better and don't cost a kidney

>grand soir
It's complex but not versatile and personally I don't completely jive with amber being center stage. Oud Satin Mood and Lumiere Noire homme are my favorites from the ones I've tried.

Not even going to comment on Butt Rape 540.

I have like 30 odd samples I'm not even half done with yet I want to try out code profumo and it's cheaper to buy a 5ml than it is to drive into town and pay for parking/petrol costs.

>>14975390
I think Narancia would wear Le Male

Do I blindbuy Paco PH for a cheap frag to wear casually and at work?

>>14975614

Yeah, it's good

My favourite frag for females is MFK BR540 and males, Creed Viking. Can someone explain to me why either of these is so bad

>>14975238
Yes, I'm a nichefag and it was my go to cheapie last summer. I went over almost 100ml. It's really good for the price.

>>14975385
>then go fragrance shopping with her and see what other fragrances can drive her wild for you.
imagine thinking this unironically

>>14975381
> try spraying on your collarbones underneath your shirt
How many sprays?

>>14975390
Now I want someone to autistically pour over the entire JoJo cast, to speculate on which perfume they wear.

Is it based or not? How heavy are benzoins here?
https://www.directcosmetics.com/shop/product/68098?fbclid=IwAR2gI6AHf4vfmeg2oBsegEk3FathGv6LuLEmd8rNY-X-pIMJrpqET01rjfk

>>14975646
how tf do people go through 100ml in a single summer? I wore Zara IDE almost daily for winter and still only usedl 20ml max until now

>>14975622
Viking isn’t bad at all I actually like it and I was the guy who did the whole “I judged MFK by BR540” spiel.

>>14975486
I’ll still give grand soir a try if I come across it

>>14975674
It lasts around 4h, so I was reapplying it 2-3 times throughout a day. I also was spraying it quite literately.

>>14975646
BR540 is good, Creed Viking is just a cash grab on the aventus train, so it let a lot of people down.

>>14975685
I think the disconnect between the name Viking and how it smells was a factor. When I hear "Viking" I think it would smell of pine, leather, wood, etc.

>>14975264
>>14975646

Thanks, that's all I need to hear. I live in Texas. It gets really hot here 9 months a year and it looks like a nice fresh choice.

>>14975702
No problem. Light, fresh, inoffensive, arguably leans feminine, but not enormously so. I got it after the summer last year when I finished my sample of Neroli Portofino so I’ve not rested it in the heat.

Neroli Portofino is much nicer smelling, but considering it cost 20 times more it’s completely unjustifiable.

WHAT THE FUCK? I knew they redid Dior Homme, I didn’t know they did it to Intense as well. End Dior.

>>14975778
Wait what.
Now that you mention it, I did notice that Dior Homme Cologne stopped being sent to the local stores here.There is only intense, original, homme, sport and Parfum. Should I be worried?

>>14975801
I’m seriously tempted to buy another DHI now even thought I have a nearly full 50ml. Glad I bought the 125 of DHC.

SOTD: second wearing of my Xerjoff Alexandria II. This spicy-apple-rosewood opening is unbelievably good. I wish it stayed for longer that way. However, the way it settles to a lavender-sandalwoody barbershopish scent is also very snice. One gets some warmness from amber and very subtle rose giving it some more sophistication. Gorgeous and very crowdpleasing stuff and I wished more people discussed Xerjoff here. Nevertheless £275.00 for 50ml is a bit too steep I think. I would save rest of my sample for some special occasion but it's one of these small plastic 2ml atomisers that one just click in instead of screwing, so I'm afraid of it evaporating. Such is life. Are you wearing something snice today lads?

>>14975823
Also I'm quite exciting for my terrorist ittar samples to arrive.

>Halo guyz, Jeremy hier *spins, clap hands*. Listen guyz I had this idea: "what are ze absolute essentials of a successful date"? First of all one need smell good, so I picked one stunning fragrance that will make all ze girls go C.R.A.Z.Y. for you. It's Fuc*king Fabolous by Tom Ford. I won't say the full name because I don't swear in my videos. It's just because of respect and you guyz should know that I respect you a lot. Only because of you I'm here. Secondly, ze really, really, really important thing is hygiene *puts hands together and nods them towards the camera with a serious face* there's no point of using a fragrance if you're hygiene is missing. I can't stress this enough guys, girls really won't like you if you have a smelly breath. That's why I picked a toothbrush and a toothpaste as my second choice. Lastly guys one needs to create a good, comfortable atmosphere. Girls must feel comfortable around you, you smell amazing but your house should also smell amazing. Thatz why I picked my favorite scented candle. It's Movie Night. You can find the link in description. Moving on finally one needs to be ready for some sexy times ;)) *laughs in german* that's why the condom ;)). I prefer to use Magnums, but please free to use whatever is appropriate for you guys.

>>14975778
>they reddit DHI

They didn’t. Demachy to busy diluting Leather Oud. I just bought a “new” version with an inscription inside the cap - the smell and formula are the same.

>>14975892
you know, theres a certain percentage of the population that have debilitating genetic abnormalities to those type of chemicals. If you read comments, its like shoving an ice pick up their nostrils, they report. im glad i do not suffer from that condition, and have considered something similar to what you are undertaking. since theyve killed off all of the good stuff, we might have to resort to small actual niche companies to find our holy grails. i also enjoy eating cilantro as a result of my genetic superiority.

>>14975889
I do not have Boy, I didn’t understand it - too anemic, too dim and faint. Bought Caron Le 3’ Homme instead to fill that niche.

>>14975823
SOTD: MFK Petit Matin and MDCI Invasion Barbare, testing them out one in each wrist

>Petit Matin
Like >>14975507 said, it's good and lasts 5h+ so far on my skin, but at the end of the day it's just another citrusy frag, the price is totally not justified. I would buy some AdP for less than half the price instead. I'll finish my sample and forget about it.

>Invasion Barbare
I definitely see the appeal. The warm/spicy opening is nice, but not something I'd like to smell all the time. The drydown is better imo, a smooth, elegant amber. I'm not really sure what a "barbershop" frag is supposed to smell like, but if this is it, I'm not really that crazy about it. Given the name, I thought this would smell way more manly. Overall good, but I wouldn't buy a full bottle, maybe just another decant when my current one runs out.

>>14975846
That pic is a goleeatt

>>14975954
Is that a common pronunciation? I’ve genuinely never heard it before. I know Jeremy pronounces some things strange but I didn’t know if it’s just him or not.

Like his pronunciation of Parfum. Pachfuh.

>>14975961
Never heard it before, pretty sure it’s just a Jeremyism.

>>14975961
>Like his pronunciation of Parfum. Pachfuh.
He's trying to pronounce it the french way, and I think he's not too far off.

>>14975988
Yeah, I get that, but it just sounds clunky when he does it.

>>14974595
help me /fa/, I've fallen in love with TF Oud Wood, I got so many compliments just from wearing my sample out over one day that I want to buy a bottle but definitely can't justify the price. What's the next best thing?

have you ever ordered any fragrance from african store? what i mean in particular are egypt and nigeria. i am kinda afraid it's just a scam

>>14976087
Buy a clone oil and mix it with perfumer's alcohol or everclear

>>14976094
Stop posting this, if you have to ask you know you shouldn't take the risk.

>>14976100
what is wrong with being interested in that? i just find it risky since i am an european and there are many problems that can occur such as long delivery time or higher probability of the flask getting destroyed because of mentioned before long shipping. there's no need to be bitchy all the way just cause i asked that a second time (sic!)

ok, I'm going to give Oud a try.
Where do I start sample wise?

>>14974734
that's an interesting information. what time of the video is it visible?

>>14974734
just isn't more fitting because it isn't ultra male

>>14976107
if you are only worried about distance, go for it.

>>14976115
Wonderoud is one of my all time favourites.

>>14976128
they seem to have pretty weird prices. some of the stuff cost at least twice as much as they cost here, and they are nothing extraordinary. on the contrary they have some rare gems which are at around 70% of price i could get here in europe. im probably gonna try to contact them somehow and demand some photos or anything and if I decide to order anything i am gonna demand cash on delivery.

>>14975748
Try D.R Harris Arlington for a Neroli Portifino-alike for cheaper. Goes for about £50.

>>14975846

Get a 30ml bottle using a discount code at sephora. It should be around 70€ that way

Thoughts on Maison Margiela?

>>14976087
Get a bigger decant then. You can find people selling them for the same price per ml as 250ml bottles on discount pages, so pretty cheap. If that’s still not sustainable then get Surrattis Oil clone. It’s 95% close

At The Barbers is one of the most "clean" scents I've sampled, but that doesn't make up for the poor silage and longevity, and in fact all of margiela's edts suffer from the same fundamental issues. They're forgettable, not just in terms of their profile but they don't last long enough to give you any memorable impressions. Except for At The Festival, that shit is so fucking bad

>>14976281

Candles in liquid form. I’d like my room to smell like them, but not myself. Yes I know they do candles. Technically very impressive, and I do love the smell of Jazz Club but they’re not justifiable purchases for full bottles.

>>14975948
>MDCI Invasion Barbare

Would just like to say that the book/fragrance posts were enjoyable. Perhaps people could do it with films or music or maybe even something relating to their hobbies. I think it would be nice to see what people here enjoy outside of fragrances.

>>14976424
>>14976513
Let's do another /fraglit/ round then. Bring it on lads. 1 fragrance, 1 book.

>>14976520
Although unless I’m mistaken last time it was more like fragrances that you could associate with a book, but I’d just like to see what people enjoy.

>>14976462
If you reference this book then you didn't understand anything.

I'm back at it again with T-Rex. Shit, this stuff makes me wish I worked from home so I could justify wearing it on weekdays.

Deal scavenger here; is it worth blindbuying Bvlgari Man 5.4 oz if my local Marshall's is marking it down to 22 bucks? I could use an oriental and the reviews seem nice.

I wore Amouage reflection man today and it is the best office frag I have tried so far. It really smells like iris to me, but without the powderiness. Probably the jasmine.
I really want to buy a bottle and use it as a daily driver for my job, but $260 for 50ml isn’t going to cut it

>>14975748
>Neroli Portofino
Are the reviews correct on how bad the performance is?

>>14976690
239.00 CAD on fragrancebuy for 100mls right now.

>>14976690
damn i got 100ml for $100 back in the notino days

>>14976697
>>14976704
I’m still weary since their CEO said that their frags sold for less than MSRP were fakes. 240 for 100 would be better, but still expensive for the performance.
For $100 it is such a great value, though.
>>14976704
It lasts 6 hours on my skin.

My sadanne came in from luckyscent. Very good thanks for the tip hooker anon. Strawberries, wine/champagne, roses, musk. Never smelled anything like it. Wine boozy. Very sexy.... anyways I opted for “10 men samples” instead of free shipping. Totally worth it guys, got an insane grab bag. All very expensive stuff I was shocked. I was expecting some PDM montales. Forgo the 8 bucks shipping your next order there and take the 10 samples. I won’t tell you what I got so your expectations are open. But I was shocked. Take the 10 samples instead of free shipping if you ever order from there.

I requested Nishane Ani and they gave me hacivat though REEEEEE. I put it on just to dispel the aventus rumors. 30 minutes in and I can say a normie will think it’s aventus. I think aventus is better though and they are close enough in price I’d just go with aventus. I also requested fan your flames and got it. FYF is snice. I have to wear it from an atomizer but from the dab I liked I a lot.

>>14976712
>I’m still weary since their CEO said that their frags sold for less than MSRP were fakes
Not reflection, but maxaroma has Jubilation for $152 shipped

>>14974734
noticed that watching the netflix documentary. Le Male confirmed fragrance of psychopaths

>>14976712
Their CEO is full of shit and just wants his cut. I’ve gotten samples from legitimate retailers (like De Bijenkorf in Amsterdam), so I know what the real thing smells like. My bottles from fragrancebuy smell identical. Also have the deep “waves” on the sides of the bottles and the magnetic cap does spin around if you put it on backwards. If they’re fake, they’re identical to the real thing, so it really doesn’t matter. They’re not fake, though, that dude just wants you to be a good goy and pay full MSRP.

>>14975622
Viking is good people just try to compare it to Aventus for some reason

>>14976520

>>14976736
Honestly, you’re better off with Hacivat. Ani was just unpleasant to me. Smelled like FUCKACUM burnt sugar and chemicals to me. It’s pretty rare that I scrub a scent, but I scrubbed Ani after an hour.

Sadanne is super unusual and sexy and I’m glad to own it. Too bad there probably won’t ever be any more of it.

I’ve down the sample grab bag. I got a couple PDM, Lubin Akkad, a couple Tauers, a couple Ormonde Jayne, one of the This Is Not a Blue Bottles. Solid stuff. I always check the free gifts with purchase, there’s very often something better than free shipping. Got me a Nicolai Patchouli Intense 15ml spray last time. Everyone needs to know about the free gifts on Luckyscent.

>>14976809
Viking is excellent. One of Creeds best scents, completely unironically. It’s just not Aventus and it’s not particularly mass appealing so normies don’t like it.

>>14976692
I’d say it’s average for something so fresh and clean. In the high heat I probably get two to three good hours, with it turning to a skin scent around five hours at the longest. Not awful, but considering the price I can’t justify that kind of money. I bought Eau Sauvage even if it has terrible longevity but it’s nowhere near the price of NP. If they released NP in the designer line I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it for say £60-70.

I don’t own a single fougere. I’m going to Debenhams tomorrow. Any suggestions? I’m also going to try Fahrenheit for the first time, not that it’s a fougere.

>>14976833
Wait and get Beau De Jour when it’s rereleased.

Versace The Dreamer

>>14976819
It’s not imo. It’s really chaotically blended

It finally came

>>14976843

>>14976836
It’s definitely on my radar. What function would you say it serves? Meaning when would you wear it, or is it quite universal?

>>14976837
Thanks, probably worth checking out just because it’s a classic regardless of what it’s classified as.

>>14976841
That’s why I like it. It’s loud and dissonant, and unapologetically masculine. It’s not another generic Creed release.

>>14976851
I’d say BDJ is pretty versatile. Good office/daytime dumb reach, date scent, day, night, whatever.

>>14976815
>Not Confessions of a Mask

>>14976866
Confessions of a mask is Ultra Male

Aside from drugstore frags like Clubman, what are some good frags with 1930s vibes?

>>14976914
Aramis Havana

>>14976914
AdP Colonia, the yellow one with black cap, is said to be the fragrance of Hollywood in the 1950s. Close enough?

>>14976914
Eight & Bob has some frags that are inspired by that decade and the previous.

>>14975390
Mista doesn't shower or wear deodorant, so it's safe to assume he doesn't wear cologne either.

>>14975390
Fugo would wear a youthful frat boy fragrance with a fierce accord.

>>14976424
people referencing the book didn't understand the point of it. not something to be discussed irl, you must hang out with real f46s

Jeremy’s non-union Mexican equivalent.

So what’s the verdict on men wearing Light Blue Pour Femme?

I’ve heard multiple people say it smells extremely similar to Versace Man Eau Fraiche and no one will think it’s a women’s scent but I can’t tell if they’re memeing or not.

Thoughts on CH Privé?

I blind bought joop in college and immediately through it away because it smelled super feminine/faggy. Only later did i come to find it has the same dna as le male. Bubblegum is a faggot note confirmed

>>14977059
so what are his recommendations?

>>14976520

>>14977358
Joop homme is the best 10 dollars you can spend in fragrance unironcally. I have my expensive niche collection and still have a bottle of it. When you really don’t give a fuck and you’re going somewhere crowded and everyone will be drunk and not give a shit joop is your man.

>>14977444
>Wasting that get to defend one of the most heinous, nauseating fragrances ever invented

>>14977344
Poor longevity is the only thing that stops it from being a 10/10. In terms of scent I adore it. It’s slightly sharp on opening, but it smooths out very quickly and I’d honestly like to breathe it instead of air.

>>14976850
The light at the end of the tunnel

>>14977444
checked, and you're absolutely right, joop is a fantastic clubbing scent that literally blows all contemporary shit outta the water

>>14977678
Thoughts on Black Orchid?

I read Lolita on my breaks at work and I spent every day of it hoping nobody would ask me what it was about.

Going to try layering Black Orchid and Fahrenheit today when I pop to John Lewis.

>>14976918
>>14976931
>>14976954
Thanks guys.

>>14977736
Pajeet logic. Just because something is strong smelling does not make it good. Joop is fucking disgusting. Dog shit is pungent enough to overpower most clubbing frags, but that doesn't mean you should smear yourself in it.

This shit is so good lads

Thinking of copping a decant of a clean, professional "luxury" frag to use for things like weddings, dinner out with family etc.
Is SMW and Reflection Man a good place to start on my search for the right frag for me?

>>14977875
Absolutely not, these are almost autistic weird guy tier. Buy Tom Ford Beau de Jour 2020 repacked from Signature collection instead. Luxury and professional af.

>>14977908
What a load of shit. SMW and Reflection Man weird niche tier? Stop talking nonsense.

>>14977804
I’m back. Fucking hell this is offensive.

In other news, Beau Du Jour is much stronger than I expected, but also beautiful.

>>14977925
There is no need for crying. Woody floral musk with ylang-ylang, jasmine and patchouli in an Eastern style bottle with fake gem on the cap as a “clean, luxurious, professional frag”? SMW for weddings? Please.

>>14977959
Stop bullying me I'm new to niche fragrances

>>14978014
Then go and buy Beau de Jour from the Signature collection - it covers all you’ve asked us for.

>>14978014
Get a few samples and ignore this guy.

>>14977959
Give him a break. Both are very good choices. I reckon in your mind 'office' means low tier job straight from IT crowd series

>>14977875
Yes, they're good place to start.

>>14974721
lmfao, ultra male is a panty dropper. Are you afraid to wear it because it's a sweet scent and "muh masculinity"?

Put on my checkered trousers and JW Anderson x uniqlo peacoat with 3 sprays of Sauvage and made everyone in the checkout queue very uncomfortable whilst mogging them with my fashion.
Got some cider and a bottle of wine,I'm the most /fa/ alcoholic in town

>>14978033
>office
Which includes having untrained noses around you. For them vetiver and tobacco smell like public urinal, musk like drying sheets, jasmine as a sweaty underarm, aldehydes, vanilla and roses as an old lady, lavender as an old man/father and patchouli as a dirty hippy. Even CdG’s woodies smell like old socks for them. That’s why I do believe that only lavender and fougeres are relatively safe for the office wearing.

>>14978048
From your post I can tell that you're just theorizing and never had to any mid-high status office job. Normies around me gift to each other Tobacco Vanilla etc for Christmas. Sometimes this general is disconnected from the reality.

>>14977875
Amouage Gold pour Homme

>>14978037
there are plenty of excellent sweet masculine scent. i regret to inform you that ultra male is gay shit tho.

>>14978114
list a couple, I'm interested.

>>14978210
Not the anon but to name few: Naomi Goodsir Or du Serail, Pierre Guillaume Aomassai 10, Montale Wild Pears, 4160 Tuesdays The Sexiest Scent on The Planet & Freeway, Xerjoff Uden & Naxos, Widian Rose Arabia

>>14977875
Both are nice and quite inoffensive. Ignore the sperg. Still, I always advocate sampling something before even buying a decant. 10ml or so is still quite a lot of something to be stuck with if you don't like it, and everyone has different tastes.

>>14978037

>>14978310
>watched Eugenius
Good luck finding a discontinued five years ago frag.

>>14978304
I have not posted this before, I left this place for a day to go swimming

>>14978301
One of the best cheap fragrances around. A worthy addition to the summer rotation. Very snice.

>>14978309
You wish. But I get you. It might be hard to afford one out of a burger-flipping-maestro salary in McDonalds, so you must somehow solve your cognitive dissonance. They're a really nice really. Try to go to Neiman Marcus or whatever and give it a sniff to find yourself. Remember to dress nicely and clean so security guys won't be eyeing you and you can test them in peace.

>>14978323
Aramis Havana doesn't smell of vanilla at all. It's green, patchoully tobacco scent with some woody quality to it.

>>14978304
>>14978329
Alright lads copped, sound for the reinforcement.

>>14978334
That's what I meant my guy. Tobacco Reserve is the tobacco vanilla one. Much more impressive than TFs rendition imo

uglies need not apply, if people are ugly like you then they have no hope. continue wearing fragrances solely for yourself

>>14974686
Amyris homme is amazing.

>>14975650

Really up to you, the more you spray at one spot the slower your fragrance transitions and the more intense it will be (because it doesn't exactly pool at one spot...it will inevitably spread a bit).

>>14975656

I strongly believe in the beauty in matching a fragrance with someone's personality. This is something people should really think about and consider.

>>14977837

Enjoy your middle eastern garbage

>>14978037

Personally I just don't like that sweet fruity vibe it exudes. I don't want to portray myself as a sweet fruity man. I don't mind sweet, my sweet overdose fragrance is Fahrenheit 32. It is nicely balanced with vanilla and vetiver. The dry down is lovely.

>>14978210

Fahrenheit 32.

>>14978245

My panty droppers are Bleu de Chanel EdT, Sauvage EdT, and La Nuit de L'Homme.

But it only works if you're good looking. Uglies should give up.

>>14978359
What do you think of people with large collections who don't have any particular signature scent? Even my most worn frags only get used ~30 times per year at most.

>>14978310

LOL. The chances that Eau Noire is for you is close to zero. If you don't know who Hedi Slimane is, don't even bother with Eau Noire. Not for normies.

>>14978340
Tobacco Reserve smells godly but only lasts for 40 minutes which makes it a failure. Such a shame, could have easily been one of my top 3 frags

>>14978324

Still available for purchase in Europe. I think it is France in particular.

>>14978359
Extremely based comment. I have built my 5 frag rotation around different fundamental aspects of my personality. I choose which one to wear based on which one of those parts of me i want to bring out

>>14978387

I think that's when people are maximizing their pleasure. The con about a signature scent is eventually your nose gets desensitized to it if you wear it day in and day out. If you have some to rotate then it smells amazing each time you wear them again. Now when we get to super large collections where they only either wear a couple of the same fragrances over and over, or they end up cycling through their entire collection to wear only each fragrance once a year. That's when the situation feels like it is getting out of hand...like they are hoarders.

If you want a signature scent, I suggest buying multiple fragrances in the same "genre" that share a similar vibe/idea that smell distinct enough that when you cycle through them it doesn't desensitize you enough. Or treat fragrances like accessories for clothing (unless you wear the same style every day). Having that harmony between the image your projecting and the fragrance that is projecting off your skin is just beautiful.

>>14978386
protip. the reason why it doesn't work if you're ugly is not directly the fact that you're ugly itself but the lack of confidence and resentment that comes with it.
Lift, dress well, smell nice, have decent social skills and you can make yourself look like a 8-9 to any thots eyes

>>14978399

Very good!

>>14978332
>dress up for security guys
You are projecting again, you injured person of color. They are not a problem white people have to anticipate.

>>14978394
That has to be individual to you, I get almost bothersome longevity from it. The smell never leaves my clothes. I went for breakfast the morning after a session and the cashier commented on it

>>14978401

Shhh, I think it is better to let ugly guys rot. Less competition that way. Hopefully their self-esteem has been shot to zero and they won't have the motivational drive to better themselves. Let them stick to treating wearing weird fragrances as their stunted personality.

>>14978406
Weird, i have seen a few reports where people said it doesn't last on them either, it also doesn't last on my clothes. Probably a bad batch or something

>>14978408

>>14978286
I know slumberhouse posting is taboo due to the frags being ridiculous and difficult to attain, but man are the tobacco frags of the line good. Wait for josh to eventually send another shipment and try some samples from online retailers. Baque takes a steaming turd on what I thought I knew about good tobacco frags. Besides that I don’t have anything to mention what hasn’t been mentioned already 100 times here. Fan your flames from my sample has been pretty good, I’m liking it. I just like tobacco frags, especially boozy ones

Tried Fahrenheit today, just a couple of sprays on my hand. I won’t be buying it. The opening was very harsh, it dried down much nicer but much like Cool Water it suffers because it feels very overplayed despite being the originator.

>>14978677
I think you may have to change gyms my friend. I was going to a super grimey place similar to what you describe, switched to this super specialized PL gym. Costs literally five times as much but it's such a great space to be in and has become such a pleasant part of my day.

>>14978680

Racist. I've not being shitting anything up, a lot of niche scents are not attractive to teen girls, that's a matter of fact. It's just that people can't handle a diverse opinion that doesn't praise the niche scents.

Yes, not with a teen though. I haven#t paid for a teen in a while now. I was actually dating a woman close to my age but she has drug and alcohol addictions so I dropped her.

>>14979442
I don't like a lot of scents from that brand although I haven't smelt the leather one, the same applies for all leather based scents though. It's a big no.
