first for Sneed

I'm about to head to Dillard's for their 25% off fragrances.
I think I'll get sauvage. Should I consider the edt or edp?
If not savauge I'ma try out deep blue and see if it's any good.

Considering blind buying Guerlain Vetiver. 200ml. Is this stupid, Y/N? I have never blind bought a fragrance but this sounds perfect for work and spring.

>>15095378
y

>>15095381
Why do you think so? The fact it’s 200ml or because it’s not a safe fragrance?

Might cop a decant of TV, is it wearable in the Spring as an indoors cosy at home frag? Or too cloying?

>>15095390
I wouldn't buy anything for 200ml unless there is an enormous deal and/or the frag is exquisite and might disappear (or has already disappeared in the case of vintage bottles)

What would be an appropriate frag for a cowboy? What kind of scent could accompany a trucker shirt and brown whiskey pants?

>>15095413
Ultra Male

Nah, I'm not wearing Joop tomorrow. Will be either Eros, Sauvage or Pure Tonka as I have a fair amount left in samples of each to blast through somehow

>>15095413
putain des palaces

>>15095424
But that’s so ladylike

>>15095364
Don't buy blue fragrances. They're on their way out.
>>15095413
An actual cowboy? Probably Stetson. An Austin / Nashville cowboy? Tom Ford Ombre Leather

>>15095413
Tobacco Oud

>>15095407
That’s fair, I’m in need of a new work scent so I thought if I go big it’ll last a long time. It’s going to be a daily wear. I’d like an element of a signature scent. I often wear a different fragrance every day but thought I’d rather stick with just one.

>>15095378
don't buy 200. but 100 or better yet 50. it has a nice coriander opening. the dry down and late dry day is pretty soapy and you might not like it, it'll take years to get through 200ml so don't bother with that much

>>15095324
At least repost the chart dude if you’re creating a new thread

Where my MDCI Cartel is? Spent whole weekend home smelling of Chypre Palatin.

>>15095455
nah sorry fag

Hugo Boss is one of my fav houses fashion wise, so do I blind buy Bottled Intense EDP? Would it make a good date scent if The One EDP, La Nuit etc don't last long on my skin?

>>15095461
I would advise you to buy something else than overpriced chink shit

>>15095461
Hugo Boss fragrances have a reputation for being sort of safe. Sweat-free blind buy.

>Sad feels when they stopped making this

Can someone reccommend something similar to lanvin avant garde pls, I've yet to find anything similar and dont wanna pay 100+ a bottle in my country

>>15095378
Get the 1 liter if you can, save a ton of money.

Does anybody know if the new Kilian refills can be used with generic bottles as well? I really like black phantom but don't care for the coffret which seems to make it way more expensive

This should arrive next week. Which Jovoy do you guys recommend?

>>15095477
Good idea. Perhaps I’ll get a tanker of it and hook it up to my bathroom.

>>15095457
It's MDCI Syndicate and Baraonda Cartel.

>>15095419
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.

>>15095364
EDP Sauvage smells a tad better, but if edt is considerably cheaper then go with that. Most won't be able to tell the difference.

>>15095552
t. poorfag butthurt that Ultra Male isn't on discounters

>>15095430
What do you recommend? Instead of the blue fragrances I want.

>>15095560
If you're wanting something for the summer, Dior Homme Eau

>>15095552
And that's a good thing!

>>15095465
>chink shit
But it's German and not Chinese?????

>>15095413
lole someone on this board is super triggered by wranglers and the country boi look
wear what you want you turbo faggot

>>15095595
you might want to check the label of your plastic made clothes next time

>>15095556
t. homosexual

>>15095584
hey, that was my meme!

What's a good fragrance for the office? Currently wearing Prada Carbon.

>>15095673
Something without ambroxan

>>15095478
I’d assume so because it comes with a decant and a funnel.

>>15095673
Bright Neroli, reapply at lunchtime

>>15095772
Not anymore. The old refills did. The new ones are just the refill as far as I know.

>>15095673
prada lhomme

>>15095390
Keep in mind that improper storage changes the scent as any alcohols or volatiles evaporate

>>15095330
fucking lol
saved

>>15095936
So I shouldn’t have my Roja Elysium next to the shower?

>>15095324
>shit image

Is Igor back?

>>15095579
Is it better than Prada L’Homme?

So I sniffed my 5ml of Pure Havane I got when I first got into frags October 2018 and its gone from a cherry tobacco to a very deep, sweet patchouli with a slight hint of the cherry as an undertone.
Is this peak maceration? Or just my nose developing over time?

>>15095981
They're both good

I like it but can’t for the life of me wear it

Have you practiced social distancing today (sex is still permitted and heavily encouraged)?

>>15096109
I've been socially distanced since the day I left my mother's womb.

>>15095364
Edp's better.

>>15096049
Haven’t smelled it yet but it’s described as the Alpha office scent which is a tad bit lame but I can understand its popularity. I’m sure it’s somewhat snice as are most of the TF collection.

>>15096129
Your mom’s womb kicked you out because it didn’t like you either.

>>15095955
That's ok, you only have to worry about expensive frags.

>>15096049
>bald

Need one more to complete my collection, a versatile dumb reach that isn't too common.
Any ideas?

>>15095956
Nah, GORsWIPE’s too busy bottoming for trannies and being bald to post here anymore.

>>15096495
Chanel Platinum Egoiste or Dior Eau Sauvage if you like citrus.

>>15095552
Are there any perfumes not made by homosexual men?

HOT TAKE:. MUGLER COLOGNE is masterpiece

>>15096761
nope

>>15096761
it's kind of a gay hobby admittedly

>>15095324
I tried a sample of Snicebomb after dismissing it as a pleb fragrance because of the bottle (like 1 Million) but the drydown is actually beautiful. Anything else like it?

>>15096866
FUCKABUTT! CUM!

I'm wearing Sauvage. Its so girly/gay. If you are a masculine type, stay away from this

>>15096980
Yes, its unironically very good. Poor performance on me, though

>>15097224
I dont give a fuck I just had sex wearing the edt. She fucking loved it.

>>15097241
Congrats, my dude.

Just doesn't fit me at all

>>15095673
Pedro Cabron

>>15096830
Overpriced now, when it was £31 for a 100ml I knew I should have copped it

Which of the aqua allegoria scents are worth buying or tracking down? From what I'm seeing Herba Fresca, Teazzurra, and Winter Delice seem interesting.

>>15097372
Yeah it definitely is

Back from shopping lads. 5 Sprays of Eros kept people well away!

>>15097500
I have limon verde, pampelune, teazurra. And I’ve just recently bought and have on the way mandarin basilic, flora nerolia and herba Fresca

>>15097539
What do you think of them?

>>15097533
That and wearing my mask with my Armani cap and jeans, Alpha bomber, Lacoste trainers and Kenzo t-shirt to flex on poorfags in debt over buying rice

>>15097547
They’re awesome If you live in the heat. 40$ for 125mls you can’t really go wrong.

Anybody know if there are any Bois 1920 sample sets available anywhere? The house looks pretty good, I'd love to try them out. My local sephora has them, but alas, corona has shut them down in my country.

>>15097681
I'm sorry to say this but it appears you got gifted a fake Boss Bottled...

If I like Pure Havane but not enough to get a bottle (mainly like the mix of cherry tobacco opening and the spicy patchouli dry down) what alternatives are there?

>>15097768
Insurrection pure 2 wild

>>15097827
no post on 4chan has hurt my feelings more than this one in 10 years

>>15097564
You keep trying to show off about that shit and we keep not caring. Take the hint, dork.

What frags are they wearing

>>15097939
Sorry i am autistic
enjoy wearing scents that smell like an old lady dying from cancer

>>15097954
poal, barnyardy and flowery for sure

>>15097957
Will do.

>>15097564
My toilet is still worth more than your outfit. Plus I don’t need toilet paper. Damn thing’s worth it’s weight in gold right now!

>>15097967
Honestly you people laugh at toilet paper hoarders, but you really dont have enough toilet paper yourselves. The average person uses 1 roll per day. If you have a family of 4, that's 28 rolls a week. Over 100 a month. TP will be worth its weight in gold in a few months, because everyone needs it.

>>15097990
>The average person uses 1 roll per day
I present 'Der amerishart', ladies and gentlemen

>>15097990
My toilet has a bidet and air dryer. I use maybe 2-3 squares per day, and I have 24 rolls. I’m good.

>>15098000
Trips confirms toilet anon as your new god

should i cop fico di amalfi or allure homme blanche for this spring/summer?

aight guys, what's your take on soleil blanc for men? i have a hard on for TF, need something new for summer. been debating between neroli portofino, mandarino di amalfi or the soleil blanc

>>15097251
Ahh okay. You stated it as a set in stone fact at first.

Allure Homme Sport as my monthly purchase with welfare money next week?
It's that or two bottles of JD and some indian takeaways

>>15095324
name a more asexual fragrance

>>15098052
My experience is this:

Neroli Portofino. Beautiful fragrance, perfectly unisex. Poor performance. Get Ferrari Bright Neroli instead. It’s not as nice, but it’s 20 times cheaper, and NP isn’t 20 times better.

Mandarino. I’ve not tested it as much as NP but it’s similar in terms of its inoffensive unisex appeal. Very poor performance, and for the price it’s unforgivable.

Soleil Blanc. I think it leans quite feminine, performance is mediocre at best. However, I recommend trying Eau de Soleil Blanc. To me the drydown is more masculine (but still leans feminine), performs similarly and has the added bonus of being much cheaper.

In summary, if you insist on a full price PB then go for NP. If you want something different for much less, try Eau de Soleil Blanc. Mandarino Di Amalfi, I wouldn’t bother, as nice as it is. The price is in no way justifiable. And I say this as somebody with five PB and four Signature line fragrances.

>>15098032
Both are lovely. If you want something safe and a bit generic get Allure home Blanche. If you want to stand out and get something more unique, Fico Di Amalfi. Amazing fragrance.

>>15098093
never considered eau de soleil, based on peoples comments on perfomance, but i'll head to the shop to get a sample.

thanks for the breakdown, a shame the perfomances are so bad

Rate my collection.

I sold Givenchy Gentleman EDP and bought Dior Homme EDT and Guerlain Vetiver.

>>15098102
No problem. It’s the nature of that type of fragrance to perform badly, but for that price I find it so hard to justify. I’m seriously considering a full bottle of Eau De Soleil Blanc this summer, if we’re actually allowed outside.

>>15098109
Some good shit. A fan of the 80s, I see. Eau Sauvage Parfum improves any collection.

>>15098109
How come you sold Gentleman? I have DH and am interested in it from the notes

>>15098126
just out of curiosity, what have you been wearing/considered wearing? you really know your stuff

>>15098109
I appreciate the layout here
+1 for Kouros, Eau Sauvage Parfum, Paco PH, L'homme Ideal and Egoiste

>>15098157
In what respect? You mean summer fragrances?

>>15098163
yeah, in terms of warm weather scent. i have my set of cold weather fragrances that I rotate between, but I have a really hard time getting settled with a fresher summer fragrance

>>15097990
T. Degenerate anon doesnt know that toilet paper should only be used to clean your ass. If you shit like once a day you use a roll in maybe 2 weeks alone. If you however use it to blow your nose, wipe some dirt/water/whatever the fuck else other than ass cleaning you are a consumerist retard

>>15098154
Gentleman is more loud, dense, has a strong vanilla note and I can't smell the iris at all. Smells good, but is not a fragrance for me.

>>15097990
I laughed when I read that copypasta in a french comment section, works everytime

>>15097990
Even if this whole coronavirus ends up being a nothingburger, at least it gave us this glorious pasta.

>>15095324
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB5yK4P8KdE
this makes me uncomfortable

>>15098170
I tend to stick to designer stuff for the summer because, as I said, it’s hard to justify lots of money on poor performing fragrances. Also, I’m in England so your summer may vary. Nevertheless...

My first fragrance was Versace Pour Homme. Very safe, a bit generic, but it’s a workhorse. I think I’ll always have a bottle on my shelf.

For scorching hot days Dior Homme Cologne works a treat. Surprisingly good performance and makes you smell like a big, icy glass of lemonade. Or floor cleaner depending on who you ask.

Bright Neroli and Nautica Voyage are both very cheap and if you don’t know what to wear these work well.

Acqua Di Parma Colonia Essenza and Dior Eau Sauvage are good options for something a little more sophisticated, although Colonia Essenza beats a Eau Sauvage in terms of performance, no contest. Probably not one you’d wear to a beach, but if you got for meals or want something pleasant for indoors.

The most unique summer scent I have is Ginepro Di Sardegna, which was recommended by somebody here to me and although it’s not safe for the high heat, I have nothing else like it. Most things in the Blu Mediterraneo line are worth looking in to.

I also enjoy Mugler Cologne and Prada L’Homme a lot for fresh, soapy fragrances, although Prada L’Homme can become a little cloying if it’s too hot.

Acqua Di Gio Profumo is good for cooler summer evenings, likewise Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme.

As I said, mostly designer stuff, but I enjoy all of those immensely and wouldn’t mind adding Eau De Soleil Blanc to my collection.

>>15098109
why do you guys keep the boxes though? For resale value? Ok, sure, but then why put the boxes in the pic? It makes everything look so tacky.

>>15098220
Literally bin all of my boxes in an instant. I get why people keep them, if they’re collectors it makes sense to have the whole package, plus if you ever want to sell it it helps the value.

>>15098215
I’m ready for ATH to go away now.

>>15098219
i can definitely get behind the thought of going cheaper with fresher scents. i have owned a lot of AdP throughout the years, although absolutely none of them lasted more than 2-3 hours on my skin. ginepro di sardegna and mandorlo di sicilia were my favourites.

im looking forward to trying eau de soleil, as my grey vetiver is nearly empty. thanks again for the writeup

>>15098135
Which one is the cats favourite?

>>15098238
Interesting, I get ridiculous longevity from a Colonia Essenza. Then again, Mugler Cologne lasts all day too. Maybe I have weird skin.

Grey Vetiver is another of my favourites. Not one I wear too often, I like to keep it for special occasions.

>>15098220
It's an old pic. Yep, it don't look good. But I keep the boxes as a protection to delay the expiration (Luca Turin says that in his guide). I usually don't use a lot of these fragrances, thats why a keep some of them inside the boxes.

>>15097923
Sorry anon I take it back, it's a nicely curated collection of high quality stuff with some good value picks. Don't really have reccs because I don't know these that well.

>>15098090
smells gud tho

>>15098220
Guess I'm a weirdo but I keep all my frags in their boxes. It makes packing them easier when I travel/move.

>>15098242
>I get ridiculous longevity from a Colonia Essenza.
Same, Colonia Essenza lasts all fucking day on me. Love it. Thinking about getting Colonia (the classic one, gold with black cap), I've tried it on my skin and love the smell, can't remember what the performance was like. Sad about Ginepro di Sardegna being discontinued.

>>15098424
I was dangerously close to getting the original Colonia but I opted for Eau Sauvage instead. Not strictly the same smell, but functionally similar. Colonia performs better, but I love Eau Sauvage so much. I think owning Colonia and Essenza is a little redundant, unless you really love them both.

I'm evolving from a hypebeast wigger to a refined classy gentlemen with a Patrick Bateman look.
What frags should I wear with it?

>>15098464
No one who ever considered being a hypebeast wigger to be an acceptable life choice will ever even approach classy.

>>15098497
Guess i'll just carry on being human trash wearing Eros and Cool Water then

>>15098464
Égoïste, Le Troisieme Homme, Rive Gauche PH, Jicky, Pour Monsieur, Habit Rouge, Nicolaï NY.

>>15098512
Sounds good, m8.

>>15098441
I have the EDT of Eau Sauvage coming tomorrow, I love the refined lemony citrus smell of it and I’m excited to wear it these upcoming months.

I need help I sold a full bottle of norne on eBay and now jackass is saying it's not authentic and not full and asking for a refund I already took the money out of PayPal and put it in my bank account and I'm pretty sure this is a scam. What should I do? If I accept a return chances are it won't be my bottle and if it is it's probably jewed can I just ghost this asshole?

>>15098768
Should also I mention I kind of need the dish since this whole pandemic thing is fucking me

>>15098768
eBay sides with buyers like 95% of the time. I’d advise you contact eBay, send them a copy of the receipt from when you ordered the bottle to show that it’s authentic, any proof you have. You’re still probably gonna get fucked, but that’s really the best chance you have.

>>15098778
I mean if he just straight up sends me back garbage is there anything I can even do about it?

L'HOMME INFINIMENT

>>15098782
You can dispute it with eBay, but otherwise probably not.

>>15098800
If I already transferred my money from PayPal is there anything they can do besides deny me service if I just ghost them

>>15098811
Not sure. Obviously, they’ll ban your account which is not ideal, since making a new account if you’ve been banned is not so easy. Not sure if they’ll come after you for the money. They might.

>>15098293
Now you're just being patronizing :(
Thanks i guess

>>15098768
I’m the guy you sold it to. Thanks for the norne

This is the king of summer fresh normie fragrances and i will die on that hill

>>15098811
i got fucked on selling 5 oz of silver back in 13 or 14. Buyer said I didnt send it a week after it arrived. Common scammer, but I already threw away the tracking info, so I was fucked. You get a judgement against you by paypal. I made a new ebay account probably 3 years ago and tried to link my info, and they wanted a settlement of 45 or 75 or something for the chargeoff. I didnt pay it, and about 6 months ago I opened a paypal account, and nothing happened, and I use it still today. So idk, paypal is fine but paypal on the ebay account might be fucked. It taught me ebay is for buyers, not sellers, and keep your fucking tracking number. Luckily I had taken the money out already like you, but expect your account to be fucked.

>>15098497
Sad but true

>>15098857
Normie as in someone who doesn't appreciate fragrances? Yes I agree. It's a bland asexual sour wood smell.

>>15095324
can someone post the chart of the different fragrance notes in jpg format

>>15098883
It smells overwhelmingly like the supermarket starfruit bin to me.

>>15097954
Cool Water, Aqua Quorum, Nikos sculpture, and Baccarat Rouge 540

>>15099022
so....I just bought some samples for the most APROACHABLE niche frags out there...

aventus
eros
guerlain ideal
ultra male
YSL la nuit
paco rabanne 1 million

overall I wasnt very impressed. they feel too approachable and arent risky enough...meaning they are probably just geared for the masses and the distributors just care about money.

that being said...can someone recommend 5 different scents that are COMPLETELY different and risky?

i like PR invictus and legend, and Im pretty sure I want to get a TF oud wood sample so...
now, I just need something from each fragrance groups:

fresh
floral
oriental
gourmand
fougere

also, I want to try dior homme, as well as some other long-lasting parfums

any help?

id like to try davidoff cool water, and varvatos and some other frgrances that say im not worried about offending anybody

>>15099046
M8, aside from arguably Aventus, none of those are niche fragrances. I don’t think you know what niche means.

>>15099046
i wanted to edit this and say:
I LIKE the samples I receive. ultra male got a bunch of compliments, and for the most part, the were complex and high dollar.
its just...they feel too mainstream and uninteresting.
I would like to find even simpler fragrances that are BOLD and risque.

>>15099061
oh. so should I just buy a bunch of niche samples?!
The problem is I dont want to get two frags that are trying to compete with each other.
like two ocean-y mount air niche colognes might smell too close together.
what get?

>>15099062
You understand you’re literally getting cheap drugstore-tier frags, right? Nothing niche about Ultra Male or 1 Million. None of those frags aside from Aventus smell complex or “high dollar”. You’re basically going clothes shopping at Walmart and claiming your clothes are made from the finest materials by master tailors in Italy.

is this one any good? i remember blah used to say it was her favorite

>>15099077
According to hookerfag, the ladies in the windows in the red light district in Amsterdam find 1 Million so obnoxious that they won’t let in guys who are wearing it. So even hookers don’t want to fuck you if you smell like 1 Million. Draw your conclusions from that.

>>15099076
those arent walmart-tier. if u shop at walmart, you
tend to think that $30 for cologne is expensive
eros is $35 for 3.4 oz and thats at a HUGE discount from retail

guerlain ideal may be the cheapest ive seen it listed for $20 for 50ml but that could just be because of the drama with the owner of the company

ultra male will be at least $50 for a full size bottle.

la nuit de lhomme is at least $50 for 100 ml but the vintage batch is like $450 for a 200ml on EBAY of all places

>>15099077
paco rabanne is one of the more mainstream ones, which it was alright, but I can see why they like it.

so, sorry for saying niche...what I meant was these are more high dollar popular frags among the community, which is also why I dont really care for them as much.

they are basically the "nike zoom fly knit" or the "yeezys" of fragrances...just WAY too trendy for me, even though I realize they are better than nothing...in fact, I would probably bathe myself in stetson grey flannel or old spice aftershave rather than shell out 3 times as much (or even 30 times as much for creed scents)

I guess I like stuff more like guerlain, jaguar pace, bentley intense, because of the price point, but if im spending more, I want things that last longer, are more round, and obviously way more bold.

again, sorry for saying niche when I really meant designer

>>15099076
lol @ dumb fag calling Ultra Male and 1 Million drugstore tier. Dumb fag.

>>15099082
Probably has to do with the fact that they're muslims and wearing 10 sprays on each arm

>>15099108
They literally are. Cheap shit that high schoolers wear.

Any designer that isn't Chanel, Tom Ford, Prada or Hermes is drugstore-tier.

>>15099096
50.00 for 100ml isn’t a high dollar frag, m8. That’s cheap. Go look into Creed, Kilian, Tom Ford, Roja, Clive Christian, Amouage, etc. Those are high-dollar.

>>15099046
>>15099062
>>15099096
>>15099108
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.

>>15099112
They’re usually Indians, actually. Most of the Muslims stay away from the red light district, aside from a few dickhead imams who like to wander around trying to get the ladies to stop working because their behavior is sinful or some shit. Only Muslims you really see actually visiting the ladies are Moroccans, and they tend to be more about the Drakkar Noir.

>>15099076
also, you have me wrong. I'm not coming on here to brag about my colognes...remember these are samples lmao.
I didnt buy a ferrari kit car and sell it as a real ferrari. I'm simply saying the kit car isnt a real ferrari. please, allow yourself to escape the competetive status, popularity contest that you live in on a daily basis. you're probably the type that has 20 tom ford frags.
pretentious prick.
>>15099112
it smells good. im not gonna get pissed at girls who consistently wear angel by mugler because it projects like a beast. also, I don't live in a world where lots of girls are wearing the same shit.
granted there are smells that are familiar, thats the whole point of wearing them
>>15099174
again, you're the type that thinks price defines how good something is. you are pleb tier and I hope you die broke and with a garage full of useless shit.
>>15099178
i agree, but the point is that girls use it as an excuse to talk to you which is the hardest part sometimes. having sex with girls is not guy, but then again, anonymous boards are filled with people projecting their own insecurities.
have you tried sex with men? maybe you should try /b/ and peruse some of the trap threads. have fun!
god, this board is miserable. I didnt come on here saying
"OH MY GOD ULTRA MALE IS KING I LOVE THIS FRAG, SO MANY COMPLIMENTS"
but even if I did I wouldnt be sitting there thinking
"hmm i hope i dont sound slightly gay or effiminate on this fragrance thread on this anonymous image board"
does anyone here offer real advice?!
Im simply asking which niche samples should I check out to find out which fragrance notes I might like. lmao.

>>15099202
This entire post is pure gold.

>>15099202
M8, you literally referred to your frags as “high dollar”. I never said there are no good cheaper frags, I just said the ones you posted aren’t high dollar. They’re objectively not. 50.00 for 100ml is not considered high dollar in the fragrance world unless you live in some third world shithole and only make like 200.00 a year.

>>15099224
thanks.
>>15099234
hey again. thanks again for your non-advice.

>>15099238
It’s not non-advice, you’re coming in here, using the wrong words, misclassifying and misrepresenting things, if you’re seriously interested in this hobby, you need to know that what you think now is factually incorrect. It’s like going into a luxury car thread and posting about your Honda Civic and genuinely believing that it’s a luxury car. I’m not trying to be mean here, you just really have no idea what you’re talking about here.

My advice is if you want something more unique, you’re either going to have to be willing to shell out for real high dollar frags, or try some older scents that people don’t really wear much anymore like Kouros, Drakkar Noir, some Guerlains, Terre D’Hermes, etc.

If you’re interested in actual niche frags, go to a high-end department store and take a sniff of some of the high-end brands. Get an idea of what you like and what you don’t in terms of genres, notes, etc. From there, you can go on sites like luckyscent and order samples of scents that interest you. It’s all about building knowledge. In order to find something you like, you need to know what you like, and that comes from experimentation. You try stuff, you learn what sort of notes you like, then you can determine from looking at a scent’s notes if it’s something you’ll likely like or not.

>>15099234
$100 is high dollar for most people

>>15099259
this is you

>>15099270
A. No it isn’t. B. He was claiming his frags cost 50.00

>>15099259
posting about my honda in a luxury car thread?
exactly more people should do that because you freaks need to get a grip lmao
its not rocket science
if a homeless person goes up to bill gates and gives him super critical advice for making money
you think hes gonna get upset? NO.
thanks for the advice, but im still kind of lost...I think I will just choose several different brands from this image :>>15099046
and just try them out for a week in several different social settings.
I DO appreciate your honesty abrasiveness, i am a noob, but am willing to learn
for me, the whole thing is about nostalgia...i have scents from my childhood that just feel familar...
my grandmas basement laundry room
the damp brick and the burnt dryer motor with the fresh linen smell.

or your dad's leather motorcycle jacket

the super popular scents just make me sick and are too boring...they are made to be liked by many people, and feel they are afraid to take a chance
>>15099270
exactly my point...the frags he is talking about are super expensive considering you are just getting a small fistful of product
>>15099277
the first thing said is that he used samples and even so. $50 is a lot of money. you think warren buffet got rich by not watching their spending? no, thats why they are rich

>>15099281
If you’re looking for things like that, you’re probably going to want to go niche. There are designer scents with leather, but it’s usually mixed with something sweet. Same with fresh laundry scents, plenty of airy, citric, aldehyllic designer scents, but again, but I take it you’re looking for something a little more complex than the typical fresh linen smell.

Like I said, best bet is to just go try some things. Maybe start with some entry-level quasi-niche frags like Creed and Tom Ford and go from there. Once you get an idea what notes you like, you can go on fragrantica and use their “search by notes” function. Keep in mind, that chart is quite outdated and we’re in the process of updating it, so don’t take it as gospel.

>>15099288

There's some companies that sell sample kits rather cheap, where you can get a bunch of 2ml's from them, some are pretty good deals. Niche houses with cheap sample sets, off the top of my head:
Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Etat Libre d'Orange
Naomi Goodsir (very cheap sample set, highly recommended, she's got weird stuff)
Histoires des Parfums (great house, and you can sample 10 of their frags for $20).

If you can find some Frederic Malle near you, I suggest you go try them out. Their sample set is $70, expensive but so worth it. But they also sell 3 samples for $15, I believe.

every day fall/winter frags?

>>15099281
For a Motorcycle Jacket smell two options are Fahrenheit and Dark Rebel Rider, both cheap. For natural white laundry musk the ones I liked were both niche, PDM Athalia (fair warning they market it as feminine iirc) and Nasomatto Silver Musk. Some people say Montblanc Individuel smells like dryer sheets but it's probably sweeter and more generic than you're looking for.

>>15099202

Nothing, I waited too late now all the stores I buy from aren't shipping thanks to lockdown in bongland

>>15099908
Eau Sauvage EDT, Jazz Club, and L’Insoumis.

Working from home - SOTD: ELDO's Dangerous Complicity on one wrist, L'Artisan Parfumeur's Bucoliques de Provence on the other wrist. This is so comfy, working from my bed or my couch, sampling all kinds of different frags while outside the world collapses.

Hookerfag what should I invest in rn? Thinking airlines and cruise ships and banks and cinemark. Obviously they’ll be bailed out soon

Any online shops that sell Frederic Malle? I can't seem to find any, weird.

Look at the Fragrantica comments. People say it smells like 10 different fragrances. They're ridiculous.

>>15099908
10 pounds of jerky, 5 pounds of dried fruit, 5 pounds of dehydrated vegetable chips, 10 pounds of sausage, 10 pounds of chicken, 8 pounds of brisket, and 20 boxes of snack cakes.

Scuderia Red?

Honest question:
I keep hearing that frags start losing some top notes after 5 or so years.
On the other hand, people are hunting ancient formulations.
How does this make any sense?

>>15100210
If not exposed to heat and light they last indefinitely

Fellas, once all this lockdown business stops and life goes back to normal I'm copping a Princes of Wales suit, a purple floral pattern tie with blue dobby shirt and either a bottle of Prada Amber or Fico di Amalfi.
I ain't fucking about sampling so which one should I get?

Trying to chill on the frags has led to me just buying other stuff. Just copped Beau du Jour in the last month so I'm pretty sated for now. A lad in the trad thread put me on to carthusia 1681 though and I'd like to try that out

>>15100515
do you buy clothes online without trying them on? How do you do that?

>>15100526
I know my measurements and the brands I'm buying from, I may have to have the pants altered but thats nbd.

Do you not? There's mighty coronasales out there atm

>>15100533
any links to european sites?
any frag sites having sales?

>>15100539
debenhams has a fragrance sale with an additional 20 percent off at the checkout atm, it's not an amazing selection but you can get some luna rossa for like 30 eurobucks, or BN Neroli woods for around 20. I think Gucci guilty black works out under 30 also for the 50ml?

>>15100558
The UK is no longer EU, meaning if I order anything from there, I get raped with taxes. So nah, I'll pass, but thanks anyways.

What fragrances are you buying with your trumpbucks?

>>15101495
Dior Sauvage, because I'm worth it.

>>15095324
Can you guys help me pick two of these that I can get as a sample? It's between Mancera Roses Greedy, Cedrat Bois, Red Tobacco, Black Intensitive Aoud, Guerlain Santal Royal, Issey Miyake Nuit D'issey Pulse Of The Night and Encre Noire Sport. I'm thinking Cedrat Bois and Encre Noire Sport.

>>15100563
The UK is still in transition until the end of december, meaning no import taxes until then.

>>15101554
Source on that? I don't wanna risk it, a buddy of mine got fucked with taxes when buying from the US and if I had to pay the same amount for buying from the UK, that would suck.

>>15101690
Just google uk import/import tax or brexit imports in your native language. Your government probably has a site explaining that everything is the same until december. To quote my government (rougly translated): until and including 31 december 2020 is a transition period. During this period you dont pay any import tax on online purchases from the UK. All EU agreements and rules still hold. https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/brexit/vraag-en-antwoord/invoerrechten-bij-aankoop-uit-verenigd-koninkrijk

Alright, just blind bought Xerjoff Fiero. D-did I fuck up guys?

Santal royal and red tobacco. Roses greedy is too feminine, cedrat bois is a bad aventus clone, no idea about BIA. Dont get samples for designers man come on, also encre noire is dirt cheap anyways, might as well get a full bottle

Will my samples arrive tomorrow, /frag/?

>>15101819

So, did I fuck up?

>>15102057
I would never blind-buy unless they were basically giving it away, but you do you.

>>15098135
Didn't know there was an AA poster in here. I returned to /frag/ because of corona. I posted about AA a few times long ago. Great value line. I got samples of Pamplelune and Mandarin Basilic for my gf but neither were home runs for either of us. I still want to try more of the line out to see if there's something that sticks out

what's the most overrated frag note and why is it amber?

>>15102454
Vetiver, m8. Why the fuck do I want to smell like old, dry grass?

>>15102454
Amber is barely a note, m8. It is often composed of different aroma chemicals each time and can smell wildly different. Think Prada amber pour homme and LDDM, for instance.

I really want to blind buy Allure Homme Edition Blanche but I see some people claiming its a skin scent within an hour??

>>15102462
Vetiver is babbys first contrarian note

>>15102485

>>15101865
I was just going to post about this! I came down with a "cold" this week, and I live in NYC, the epicenter of the US. On Monday I was running a 100.5 F fever. I don't really have a runny nose, and my cough has been barely a tickle, but dry. I've also been having some aches.

Long story short, just a few minutes ago I put on some Fahrenheit, and I couldn't smell anything! I put my nose right to wear I sprayed it, and nothing but faint sweetness. I sprayed on some Prada L'homme, and same story. Finally, I sprayed on some Eros, and although it's what I can smell the most, I can only get the faintest sweetness and green apple. Eros is fucking nuclear and usually one spray gases out my room. Does this fucking confirm that I have COVID-19? Before schools closed here, I was commuting Monday to Friday from Brooklyn to Harlem 1.5 hours away. I must have fucking caught it.

>>15102704
Not sure if trolling or not, but if honest, can I have your frag collection?
Also, can you get tested?

>>15102679

For sure. Carlisle is snice though.

I love this one, is Classic

This one is very nice

>>15102704
Ur gonna die from covid. Give ur family kisses and hugs goodbye so they will die with you. :)

This is cheapm but nice

>>15102714
There's like no chance of getting a test. I'm 24, haven't travelled outside of the US, and in any other situation my cold would be a nothing burger. Also if I go to a hospital or testing center, I could catch the real virus while waiting to get swabbed.

My collection would just take up a lot of your space with memes.

Full bottles:
Prada L'homme, Eros, Burberry London, Versace Man (OG, not eau fraiche), Versace The Dreamer, Dior Homme EDT, Black Orchid

Samples:
Fahrenheit, BdC EDP, Antaeus, Cafe Rose, Pure Tonka, Le 3' homme de Caron, Espresso Royale, a bunch of 2ml MFKs, CK be, Clinique Happy (crappy female frag, but my ex online gf sent it to me and I wanted to know what she smells like), and some Sephora samples of By The Fireplace and Prada Candy Night.

Some noteworthy ones for bad reasons: Espresso Royale was a meme I sampled because of the fragrance apprentice, it's artistically interesting, but objectively it smells bad. It smells like someone left a moka pot of bustelo brewing too long and they came back to a burnt catastrophe. Le 3' homme de Caron smells putrid. The clove really makes it the only frag that I wanted to scrub off myself.

I love Lolita

So I meet this girl on her page, she ties her bro up for prank bondage pics (little eccentric but I'm cool with it)
Turns out she's in the UK too and we have a lot more in common than liking to tie people up.
So we chat a lot, I get all flirty, and one thing leads to another, we plan to meet up for an irl bondage session/coffee date at a city near me but college leaves her unable.
I'm ok with this. I eventually muster the courage to ask her out. She immediately says she'd "Love to!"
I'm super happy, doing well at work, confidence boosted. Save up money thanks to a promotion etc.
I invite her to come visit me over the summer for a few days, she tells me she's "not really sure"
alarm bells faintly ring but love makes me numb to the oddity of such a thing.
She ends up heading to uni and we chat less, turns out she's struggling.
She ends up ignoring my messages, yet posting more art of her "bro" tied up and gagged.
She gave me his number? Not hers? tells me to "keep things online for now"
So I'm really freaking the fuck out so I text him, play it cool and find out what the hell's going on.
he tells me "i don't have her number but can ask her for it" yet he relays questions from me to her instantly?
So I get mega drunk the day after valentine's day and with a nice dinner to up my mood I call him out on being a catfish and that I'd meet him if he were upfront cos he's clearly nice as this girl persona.
No reply until midnight. He threatens to track me down. I'm sober enough that I defuse the situation and he tells me "we're much closer than siblings."
OH FUCK.
I've outed this girl to be a cheat to her own boyfriend.
I panic and nuke the hell outta my old account, lewd pics on my stash and all.
I go to block her before deactivating, I'm that spooked and I see she's been favouriting a LOT of shota/underage drawings of young boys in kidnap situations.
So feeling disgusted by this couple, I reported it anonymously to a charity that passes on info to the cops.

YOU HAVE THAT PHOTO THAT HAD A DOZEN HERMES ORANGE BOTTLES IN IT? YOU REMEMBER THAT POSTER?

Do Dior Homme Cologne and Eau Sauvage smell similar due to the over the top citrus? I hear that DHC smells/feels like an ice cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer day. I get that same vibe from Eau Sauvage EDT and it probably wouldn’t make sense to own both.

>>15103295
Nope. Eau Sauvage is much more herbal and woody.

>>15103311
Does Eau Sauvage last as long as the Cologne flanker? Because I wanted to sample it and bought a 5ml of the flanker instead. Hated the strong citrus/vetiver opening at first but soon loved it once the weather warmed up.
Now I'm torn between getting a bottle of that or the original Eau Sauvage

>>15103295
The only thing that doesn’t make sense is not owning dhc

Go for the original brah. You won’t regret it, especially for spring wear.

>>15103320
Interesting. I’m thinking about getting either DHC or DH Eau. Prob gonna go for Eau tho. I love the bottle designs of the Homme line

>>15103358
DHC is miles better

>>15101946
Alright those do look pretty good so i'll cop, i didnt realise cedrat boise was another aventus clone and I'm not into the aventus dna so thanks for that. Still does anyone know how Issey Miyake Nuit D'issey Pulse Of The Night is? Looks interesting but not enough for a blind buy.
>>15102635
Yeah buddy, and we're just getting started
>>15102783
>Le 3' homme de Caron smells putrid
So it's just a meme like Kouros?

>>15095430
Original Stetson is very feminine, I wouldn't recommend it

People may call Lagerfeld Classic an old man fragrance, but I will not stop wearing it, because my beloved grandpa bought it for me years back.

>>15103891
It is an old man soapy piney musky typical fragrance but thats a great reason to wear it. Do you wear the vintage or new formulations?

>>15103893
I have the old cologne bottle but it's hard to find vintage as a deodorant unless you were to look online.

would the average person be able to tell this is supposed to be worn by a man? I have a few ozs of it from an old job and like to wear it (I am a grill) but don't want to smell like a man. It's not very manly imo, not like versace or mont blanc's mens etc

>>15103354

Go for the based Parfum instead.

>>15103916
It's a known men's fragrance. I also find it manly. Wear something else.

>>15103916
Nothing sexier than a girl wearing a man's fragrance.

>>15104046
Anon, I think there is something about you that you don't yet know...

>>15103916
Wear Fuel for Life instead
It has that sweetness from the raspberry and lavender that'll be sexy af on a woman

If I layered something suitable for fall/winter like Boss bottled Oud lightly against something that can be worn year round such as Le Male, would that work for a year round signature scent?

>>15103916
don't worry it's pretty asexual so it would work on twinks like you

what is the most disgusting fragrance you have ever smelled?
for it was a fragrance a girl wore on a date that smelled like a combination of alcohol and baby wipes, i don't know how else to describe it but i stopped mid-sex because of how much of a turnoff this smell was

>>15104145
thank you, I'll have to smell it if I ever see it in store, unfortunately I only know mens fragrances
>>15104342
not really a twink, I'm pretty curvaceous
preDDy major case of gyno too

>>15103614
I've never smelled Kouros, but Kouros looks like it'd actually smell good. Le 3' isn't even a meme, it's a literally who 80s frag that no one likes.

>>15104347
Le 3' homme de Caron. The clove is vomitous.

>>15103916
Go for it, it's airy enough. Most female marketed frags are trash anyway.
