Has anyone tried it?

>>15156993
Just got my samples from Scent City. Got 5 of them, so they were indeed including freebies on top of free Nobile 1942 sample with the code I posted here last week. Quite generous of them I got like $20 in samples for free. I got
>Nobile 1942 1001 x2
>Nobile 1942 Fougere Nobile
>Hayari Only for Him
>Designer Shaik Opulent Shaik Classic No 77
Also I'm going to review the stuff that I got in the last sample haul now as I've tested almost everything now.

got these samps coming in

also ty to the guy who said i was based in the other thread. :^)

>>15157014
>Caron Yatagan
This smells like rape in woods. I smelled castoreum the other time in Bloom Perfumery and chapeau bas to Caron for how smoothly they blended it here. It's not disgusting-fecal at all and just gives Yatagan animalic vibe. Despite being unapologetically masculine, there are many nuances here making it interesting. This house is definitely a niche quality.
>Caron Pour Un Homme
LT said that it is the definition of lavender for men. However, there's more going on here. There's lots of lavender here true but it's not the kind of suave just-got-a-wet-shave in London type of lavender that you're used to. It's dirty and hyper-masculine thanks to vanilla+musk and I know what this combo reminds me of. Musc Ravageur by Frederic Malle. Imagine a guy wearing a barbershop fragrance after rough fucking a 20-something cutie wearing this Malle, choking her, pulling her hair and degrading her for an hour. His barbershop lavender got dirty and there's her perfume lingering all over his body. Pour Un Homme is how he smells when he stands from the bed to wipe his dick in her curtains. I get now why it is so polarizing, it's not an easy to pull off fragrance. If you can though, you'll be in love.
>Caron Le 3' Homme
Oh fucking hell. It's amazing. Wafts were right that if released by Roja it could be selling for 10x the pricetag. Incredible value for the price. It's a big three-dimensional classical fragrance. I get the NYI vibe here but it's not fresh-spicy but rather comfy-spicy thanks to cloves. Veery smooth stuff.
>Parfum d'Empire Azemour Les Orangers
That's another one New York Intense smell-alike. Replace bergamot and lavender from NYI with fresh zesty citruses and you get ALO. Beautiful scent with plethora of citruses that somehow stay fresh and don't get cloying (like in XJ Rennaisance). Definitely appropriate for hot weather when NYI is too heavy. I can imagine having ALO + NYI as the two and only fragrances I have tbf. It dries down to a green soapy musk.

Step aside, plebs.

Tried Montblanc Explorer, hate the ambroxan heavy opening but the drydown is snice enough to be wearable.
I take it Aventus isn't for me then? However 1 Million Prive works really sweet on my skin, a nice alternative to London for days I don't want to wear that

>>15157040
stop the spam u little fucboi

>>15157062
eh okay whatever i just posted it twice

>>15157044
>Penhaligon's Sartorial
It's the most popular men Penhaligon's in their line up, so a good place to start with the house. The opening screams class. Definitely a fragrance for someone who knows what he wants. It's built around a barbershop structure with prominent lavender on a sweet-floral-spicy background. The sweetness here is definitely not anything juvenile like in other popular modern barbershop fragrances like Dylan Blue. I have yet to find a Duchaufour's fragrance that would be a dud. This man is a genius. Survives 6-8h on my skin drying down to a bit musky lavender metallic vibe (which is not unconventional or challenging at all - it's hard to describe it).
>Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel
It opens with a dated soapy violet. Don't be discouraged though because couple minutes later a bit bitter herbal greenness comes out and balances the florals and dated vibe out. To be completely fair with you guys it's not my cup of tea but everyone who likes soapy/iris fragrances like Dior Home or Valentino Uomo Intense should try it as this might be just down your alley. It also has this fougery twist to it that reminds me of Xerjoff Mefisto Gentiluomo or Silver Mountain Water (minus fruits). Years ago I was mass buying cheap fragrances like Rasasi etc. It beats all of them despite costing like $10 per what 10 liters? You can literally wash yourself in it for this price. I'm also not able put my finger or anything here that would smell obviously synthetic or screeching. That's really a very smooth blend but you should definitely test it first.
>Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Man
This is what I wanted Creed Viking to smell like. It smells expensive from the first sniff. It's woodsy, spicy and refreshing. Very, very well balanced summer fragrance. It's really safe on one hand and very sophisticated and unique on the other. I totally understand why LT gave it 5/5 stars. If you want just one power fragrance and don't bother with anything else this might be it.

>>15157068
Which one are you going to buy?

anyone tried l'air des alpes suisses by tauer?

If I really, really liked Wonderwood but didn't like the fact it only lasted 3 hours top to justify purchasing, is blind buying Tam Dao EDP justified?

>>15157068
I've got Caron Pour un Homme on order and waiting on samples of Ormonde man / Sartorial so this review is music to my ears

Three more really good cheapies. All of you cheap skates should check them out. They're very good and absolute bargains and I'm saying it as a guy who smelled like 500+ niche stuff.
>Boucheron Jaipur Homme
Opens with nice fresh citrus accord. It smells all natural and could be easily an accord from some fresh Tom Ford Private Blend when it comes to quality. After couple minutes it's actual face shows uo. It transforms to a super comfy classy balsamic spicy scent. Warm benzoin, cardamom and cinnamon is very noticeable here. Everything with some florals and green-woody quality lingering that makes it complex. We talk here in /frag/ about so many orientals but this one is really better than most of stuff that costs 5-10x what Boucheron costs.
>Boucheron Pour Homme EDP
Quite a classical citrus chypre. The citruses are a bit soapy what makes it a bit dated to my nose. You get a bit of Green Irish Tweed from lemon verbena and some herbal rosemary-like vibe but the main accord are soapy citruses-florals-oakmoss like in every respectable chypre. Nothing unexceptional but you can do so much worse in <$60 category that it's still worth testing.
>Estée Lauder Youth-Dew
That's a very pleasant spicy oriental fragrance. The opening is feminine and immediately reminded me of warm spiciness of MDCI Fetes Persanes with Fetes' smooth vanilla replaced by florals and fruits. After the rose and fruits from opening calm their asses down it settles to a unisex-feminine leaning balsamic chypre that gets more unisex with each minute. It's not 1000 miles away from Chypre Palatin to be fair. Very good quality stuff for like $20 per bottle.

L air du desert morocain or au coeur du desert?

I've only sampled the latter, and I loved it. It's ambery and it feels smooth. Is it worth the premium over laddm? I have a sample of lddm coming, but it won't be here till next Thursday.

Was hoping to hear some thinks and thoughts from y'all.

>>15157074
I want to go through samples first to have couple full day wears but there are some that I'm considering a full bottle worthy. Caron Le 3' Homme, Azemour Les Orangers are almost surely going to end up with me. I think Ormondo Jayne is really, really good and vibes well with my personality so I'm considering it. I also wanted to add some classic barbershop fragrance for a long time so if this longing becomes stronger, I'm gonna 100% buy Sartorial. It's really cheap for the price. I'd also buy Boucheron Jaipur but I have too many orientals on my list. If I were just starting, I'd defo buy it.
>>15157100
Good stuff. Come back and let us your thoughts too.
>>15157103
>pour un homme
I think the poster I posted is quite accurate. I imagine a very masculine guy in a non-metrosexual way pulling it off easily in modern times. It's not dated, it's just hard to pull off.
>grey flannel
You can say many thing about this fragrance but it's definitely head rising. There's a reason why LT gave it 5/5.

>fukkacums in your path

>>15157199
ACDD > LDDM if the price difference doesn't make a difference to you. Otherwise go for the cheaper option. They're similar enough.

Oh god I wish it were me

>>15157068
How would you say Ormonde Man compare to Vetiver extraordinaire?

>>15157247
Directly? Not at all, these are two completely different fragrances. VE is more a summer or warm weather fragrance while I feel like OM can be worn all-year-round (that's why I said that this could be someone's only frag). VE is more of a statement fragrance, OM is quiet confidence. Both are excellent and nuanced.

>>15157207
The rugby player is Sebastian Chabal, famed for his gallic insouciance and being hard as fucking nails. A big hit with the ladies if my female aquaintances are any measure and sounds like a good choice to advertise this frag

Was just looking up some Creed frags and haven't come across this one yet. Will look it up.

>>15157540
If in warm weather, Geranium PM
If in colder weather, I'd wear Cafe Rose

>>15157540
Royal Oud

I was Best Man at a wedding last year and wore Noir De Noir. Got loads of compliments.

>>15157608
Redpill me on Royal Oud. Seems to be gaining some traction here recently. Are you the /fa/g with the flacon?

Thought on Polo Red Intense? Is it a good cozy frag that'll double as a date scent? As much as I like The One EDP its just not my vibe

>>15157650
No, I bought it 18 months ago.

A slightly sweet opening, but not in a cloying, sickly way, a kind of pleasant sweetness. It doesn’t hang around for long though and it makes way for a relatively simple, but quite fresh woody base. The cedar and sandalwood are very dominant, Oud is barely detectable. It’s lighter than you might expect, and it’s probably my favourite woody fragrance. The kind that puts a smile on my face whenever I get a want of it. For reference, I generally don’t like Creed.

>>15157682
Sounds good, fren. I'm gonna have to at least sample it soon. I'm assuming the performance isn't crazy, though. People around you should still be able to smell it for a while, I'm guessing?

Thoughts?

>>15157711
Performance isn’t great, but based on comments from other people on here I get much better performance than others do. If I spray it before work people notice for a while in to the day, and it lasts through most of an eight hour shift. I can still smell it when I get home, but it’s a skin scent.

>>15157727
Snice, but I prefer VPH. By no means bad, but not my favourite Versace.

>>15157730
Meant for >>15157721

It’s better for high heat than VPH however.

>>15157599
These two are the poshest cologne waters that I know of (with a bit better performance than usual colognes). None of them (especially Creed) are worth prices for full bottles though but worth a small decant for a special occasion. On my wedding I'd like my fragrance to just be background to what's happening not taking an active role, so these are solid choices.

bros, I have a date coming up in a few weeks after quarantine and I need something good. 23 yrs old. I have some decants already of cdb, jpg um, and a bottle of the one edp but I can't say im in love with any of them. What would you guys suggest?? don't want to smell like grandpa and can't get out to test

>>15157727
Fug, would like it to be stronger.

>>15157209
Thanks for your input dude. I might go for the acdd

My spring fragrances so far

As a nichefag with a lot of money, if I blindbuy Cedro Uomo, am I gonna be disappointed? I hear some people comparing it to Invictus Aqua, which I think smells like a high school locker room and wouldn’t be caught dead wearing. Thots?

>>15158067
It´s a creamy citric, It does smell "young" but not immature.

nah, the dry down can be considered mature.

>>15158138
Ok. I’m gonna get it, but if I don’t like it, I am going to dedicate the rest of my life to hunting you down for making me waste like 35.00. You think I’m joking. Best hope I like it.

All time favorite fragrance, seems like its too hard to get now a days. any one familiar can recommend a new similar or maybe a similar fragrance signature?

>>15156993
Man my job gave me a 50% pay rise for doing absolutely nothing and I’m already saving lots of money because of the lockdown. I’m gonna go all out once the stores reopen

As much as I hated the generic citrus and ambroxan opening of Explorer, the dry down is very nice to my nose.
Lasting longer on my skin than 1 million prive too

any recs for soaps that smell like.. nothing? no additives or anything just antibacterial to use on face and body and that doesnt interfere with frags?

>>15158375
Gucci Guilty Absolute. Leather, vetiver, and cypress goodness. Lasts on my skin for 8+ hours with moderate projection

>>15158429
Honourable mentions to Azemour Les Orangers, Bulgari Opalon and Xerjoff Mefisto Gentiluomo. As you probably can tell from that most of these samples are warm weather stuff. I sampled them as I wanted to add some bottles to my summer rotation but with all of these samples probably there won’t be any need for that till summer 2021. However, I want to pull a trigger on ALO or some Profumum badly.

>>15158431
Will check this one out. Thanks anon

I have like 75% of my smell back from COVID-19 lads. I have TF Noir and Quorum (original, not the AQ meme) coming in. Assuming my smell is back by the time they arrive, what am I in for?

>>15157044
Le 3' Homme is fucking disgusting. The only frag I've wanted to scrub off.

>>15158327
Use different shit for face and body. For your face, use a CeraVe whatever facial cleanser. Ideally, the foaming or salicylic acid one is better if you're oilier and/or acne-prone, and the hydrating one is better if you're drier. For your body, use Dove's unscented bar, but CeraVe also has an unscented bar for your body.

>>15158375
From the ones I own, Fahrenheit.

>>15157010
I really like it

So, Zootopian Sloth and New Bat come out soon. Anyone copping? I thought Sloth was pretty snice, very mellow and interesting. Have OG Bat so not copping the new one. New Bat is alright, but just kind of a little too “generic tropical fruity scent” to me. Maybe if I hadn’t tried the original, but the new one basically smells like the OG with all the most interesting parts removed.

Any of the MMM scents worth sampling? Or are they all giant overpriced memes?

>>15158155
The women's version just got relaunched it seems with Dua Lipa so maybe the men's will too with some celeb.

>>15158204

I love frags but I'm clearly allergic to certain compounds. Any tips?

I've tried Norne and Ghost Pine. The latter gives me a cough and runny eyes, the former sits fine with me. It's a shame because I love both but only the latter is easily accessible. Do you guys have tips for similar? I'm a fan of Interlude, but that smells less like a pine forest, even though it's an extremely powerful and a go-to winter frag.

We have the frags picked out for every category, we just need someone with some design/photoshop skills to put together the chart. If you're up for it that'd be great. The frag selection is is the old threads, I guess OP really is a faggot cause he forgot to include it in this one.

I think we should get rid of the pricing info altogether, because most countries have wildly differing prices. US vs Canada vs Europe, or even within Europe, prices vary greatly. We could just include a 1, 2 or 3 dollar sign symbol, meaning 'cheapie', 'average' and 'high-price', and that's it. But I say you can get started if you want, and we'll discuss the price info a bit more.

I'm here. These were my thoughts exactly on the topic. It's enough to look at how outdated the prices on the old chart are rn to arrive at the same conclusion. I'd suggest $ for frags costing <$50 per 100ml. $$ for those in between $50 and $150 per 100ml and $$$ for those that cost >$150 per 100ml. Does it agree with everyone's else perception of cheapie, average, expensive fragrance in this thread?

Never actually tried Dior Homme and can't go sniff it. Should I get a decant? I'm into florals/iris lately but I'm worried it's too mainstream/synthetic smelling.

Should I go for the regular EdT or the Intense EdP?

>>15159711
I get where this is coming from but Lys is really good and I think Santal deserves place for the same reasons Aventus is there, sorry. I already kicked out all other Le Labos from the other chart that are less relevant. Replacing Lys 41 with FM is a bad idea because we already got 5 Malles. Let's keep it varied.

Progress for today. What do you guys think about the coloured border system, I think it makes the chart a lot clearer. For the notes I copy exactly what fragantica says, so lemon is different from Sicillian Lemon
>>15159697
Fun fact I also made the Iceberg chart
>>15159700
Don't worry I wont, I have a lot of time off right now due to college being pretty much canceled for me

>>15159771
Oh yeah I changed the red text a bit, some stuff could be worded a bit better imo

>>15159771
>Fun fact I also made the Iceberg chart
Welcome back dude, good to have you back. Chart/MDCI anon here. We've done the iceberg chart together back in the days. I remember changing it back and forth and adding stuff like LT's saliva lol. I was actually looking for you actively when I was finishing with the draft of the new chart because no one here can use photoshop apparently but you seemed to vanish lol.
I think that the coloured borders will make the chart too busy and cluttered at the end of the day. What I really like about the old chart is how clean it is. Maybe let's keep it that way?

>>15159771
looks great, boxes are subtle but effective in drawing the eye

>>15159775
When it comes to wording, the blurbs (and the structure of the chart) are both from perfume society website. If you feel like changing it then go on, but perhaps it'd be better to focus on getting it done first and only after that add these tweaks? That's quite an ambitious thing to do for one person, I remember the relief I felt after finishing last updated category.

>>15159771
Btw export progress into png files. Jpg compression fucks it up a bit.

>>15159789
Chart and MDCI anons are the same person?

>>15159771
Since Mugler Cologne has been renamed/reformulated do you think the chart should distinguish between them?

My suggestion during the chart making was to put a list of others under each category (just a list without pictures) since there were so many suggestions. I think it would make it more of a resource I would come back to.

>>15159761
Even though I'm anti labo I thought about it and agree
>>15159771
>notes I copy exactly what fragantica says
Fragrantica has user sourced notes. So they're what people pick up from fragrances. They're consistently inaccurate. Basenotes puts the actual notes listed from the house.

Also sorry, but you admitted you were new during the iceberg making and I think that chart still reflects that and could've been better. Are you just a meme maker from other boards?

>>15159880
edit: Nevermind even BN is wrong sometimes. It would be a bitch to go to the site of each house and find the notes. Carry on.

>>15159807
Is MDCI anon polski bro? Who works at a casino in the UK?

>>15159771
Not trying to throw bad vibes around, I appreciate your effort, but the old chart looked nicer. Your text is too close to the pics, and the frag name font looks weird.

>>15159807
Yea that's me. I was quite bored the other week at home so started reworking the chart.
>>15159880
The notes are tricky desu and sometimes also the official notes are not the most accurate description. The way they come up with them is to ask a 'nose' to tell the producer what are his sensations. They are sometimes off too. For that reason I would suggest staying with what is easiest (and consistent) for the photoshop guy. Fragrantica would work for me
>>15159930
>Is MDCI anon polski bro?
Yes
>Who works at a casino in the UK?
No lol, that's another guy

>>15159953
I think that every feedback is appreciated

Thoughts?

>>15159963
Never done photoshop so I have no idea, but if you want to change the font for the frag names, do you have to change each of them individually? Or just one change that applies to all?

If you really wanted to, you could do the same group (fresh citrus) in a few different formats, different fonts etc, and we would all give you our opinions. Before committing to doing the whole chart one way and then getting shot down.

>>15159789
Oh lol didn't know you were MDCI anon as well. Ayy I remember that, I took a little break from 4chan because I was really busy with uni, but yeah this site always draws you back in. I'll just add the borders for now but I can easily disable them in the file, when I'm done we could post a strawpoll to see what people like better.
>>15159798
Yeah good call
>>15159801
I used the snipping tool for this because the canvas is fucking huge, don't worry the final image will be in png
>>15159880
>My suggestion during the chart making was to put a list of others under each category (just a list without pictures) since there were so many suggestions. I think it would make it more of a resource I would come back to. Problem is these suggestions aren't in the pastenote, and this a bunch of work already. Regarding the Iceberg I pretty much asked whatever people wanted on the chart and put that there and adding some memes myself. I used to shitpost a bunch on /mu/ but now I only visit /fa/ (mostly /frag/), /fit/ and sometimes /lit/. The memes I make are /frag/ exclusive though >pic related
>>15159953
Yeah I know, this is just a rough draft. I autistically group everything so I can move it around later with ease

>>15159880
>>15159981
Tbh let's don't get paralysis by analysis and for now get the basic version done. We can come back to this idea later.

>>15159955
>>15159981
>>15159989
Yeah meme anon I agree ignore me, continue on with your work you're the only one doing it, we can make a pastebin or something of alternatives if we're still coronachaned

>>15160001
Who the fucc got >>>15160000

>>15160001
I still got a textfile with all contenders for each category on my disk from the time I was working on refreshing the chart. So it's not like we need to start from the scratch but for now let's do the simplest thing that would already be amazing.

>>15160007
Big hit for /frag/

>>15159714
Edt

>>15158964
Definitely, that metallic/ink note gives a very metallic vibe to the scent.

>>15157909
platinum egoist you limey tosser

My sister’s a dyke and wants a cologne for her birthday. What’s a fragrance that says “butch lesbian”?

>>15160095
mefisto gentiluomo

>>15160095
Strangely, they read the sperm notes as "salty" and therefore acceptable

>>15159182
>These cunts are allowed to vote and breed

>>15160134
What exactly does adrenaline smell like then??

>>15159138
can you point me to any threads where they sell frags? I can't find a single one on fragantica. Basenotes yeah, but nothing on fragantica.

>>15159789
>>15159880
How are things going dude? Still fucking chicks from Tinder? Haven't seen you posting anything for ages.

Fresh is done! No worries the text will be moved away from the bottles later on, I have to fuck around with the text size a bit when everything is finished, Now everything is really big, but it is way more comfortable to work on it this way. I know Eau Sauvage is exceding the limit of the box, this is why I have to mess around with the text size later on

>>15160276
Good job. Couple of comments
>Eau Sauvage is sticking out of the colour border
>Make more space between the picture of a bottle and the text
>make more space between borders and last line of text: the space between top and text is way wider than bottom and text - make them equal
>why all this empty space to the left of each box?

>>15160276
>>15160400
lastly, but most importantly. You should have 2 rows and 3 columns not 3 rows and 2 columns. Just like on the older chart

>>15160276
I have some grammatical comments and would perhaps change the wording a little bit in certain areas, but perhaps I should wait until you’re finished to make those suggestions. So far so good.

Also, I’d suggest switching Mugler Cologne and Colonia so you have the cheapest fragrance first like in the other boxes. Also putting Guerlain Homme EDP first.

>>15160276
Vote for sans border

>>15160276
I prefer with the border. Perhaps for some visual interest you could put some faded images of a note that defines that category, so perhaps some faded lemons behind the first category.

>>15160418
>Also, I’d suggest switching Mugler Cologne and Colonia so you have the cheapest fragrance first like in the other boxes. Also putting Guerlain Homme EDP first.
Seconding this. Frag should increase in price as you go left right and up down

>>15160440
Nice idea but let's don't overwhelm him for now with adding features perhaps. he's doing a great job

>>15160466
Of course not, I just remember suggesting that months ago and some people liked that idea so thought I’d throw it out there. If I weren’t so busy I’d like to help, but I’m still working so don’t have much time.

which is the best ralph lauren polo edition? black, red intense?

>>15160418
>>15160462
>cheapest first
Good idea! Will do that once every frag is on the chart, right now I just want to get everything on there in the right category
>>15160440
>>15160466
>visual interest
That's pretty easy to do, will do once the chart is done. If you guys could think about what images you would like that would save me some trouble

>>15160228
My countries fragantica just has a trade section

>>15160268
It’s alright mate, I cut my hand on glass some time ago so didn’t really have any action and deleted the app. I reinstalled it last week as I finally could take the splint off and use my right hand to some extent but sadly I live in a student town in UK and all students are gone bc of corona so what is left are local British girls mostly. I tried the passport thing that is free on Tinder now for fun in my hometown in Poland and in London and the difference between talent there and what is available where I am now is discouraging af. Ive got one local hottie who stayed here too and am in touch with some super hot chicks who I found in London/PL but might delete the app again as it’s not very productive with the virus around and me locked here and having no idea when I’ll be in London/PL again anyway. Otherwise, I’m still here shitposting with you boys in my free time but haven’t really talked about chicks bc it seemed to cause a shitstorm almost every time

What are some dad core frags?
Thinking of copping some grey/pink NB 997s and want a scent to go with that laidback vibe and the darkwash jeans etc

Do I spend £6 on a 5ml decant of Polo Green since its too pricey to blind buy, or do I blind buy Drakkar Noir as another cheapie to my collection?

>>15160695
Drakkar Noir is not really worth a place in any bigger collection desu. It'll just gather dust.

Help.

>>15160654
This is what i layer wear. Maybe dadcore, maybe granddadcore but i like them. I open the old spice and add 4 drops of lime oil in there and put it in another 3.4 atomizer i bought online. The lime note isn't strong enough on its own.

>>15160589

Dude just don’t be a 2/10 and dress properly you’ll be fine

>>15160910
What about replacing the Issey with Guerlain Homme EDP?
Would the lime in that simply overpower the old spice?

Any good frag for autistic manlets?

>>15160977
I tried guerlain homme. I didn't like the mojito vibes.
I do like citrus fragrances for summer though.
ADP was lemon pledge though. Fuck that stuff.


I did. When i dropped 8 drops. Lol.
That's why now i only drop 4.

what's wrong, are they bad LOL

>>15161086
People said good things about them online, also I did the math in my head and you get the most value out of buying the full size bottles, I was going to just go 25ml on the burberry and 50ml on the rest but it didn't cost anywhere near half of $200, it was more like $150 so what's the point of not just tossing in another $50 for double right.

>>15161087
It's just $200, I'm an autist that doesn't spend any money.

>>15161134
reeee should I just go back to the old spice then, give me a recommendation and I'll BUY IT RIGHT NOW

>>15161138
My recommendation is that you should spend your first $50-$100 on samples to learn what you actually like. It's enough to get samples that will last you couple of months.

>>15161145
If I have to decide what I like and what's good what the fuck do you retards exist for.

>>15161134
>smell of every 16-30 y.o. girl's ex-boyfriend
This hurts. I'm looking at my shelf with Sauvage rn and thinking that I should just sell it on eBay.

>>15161163
To give you recommendations based on your likings. Don't be a lazy idiot.

>>15161145
Like literally do what you've done - look at frags that people say good things about but buy samples instead. You don't realize how long it takes to finish a 100ml bottle.

>>15161174
Meant to reply to >>15161163

Holy fuck I'm fucking dying

>>15160589
God I wish I didn’t live in the English countryside. I have to have my radius set to 50 miles. Still no fucking matches. If I want to go on a date I either have to spend millions on a train or drive so I can’t drink. I’ve been on five apps for nearly fives years and have received kisses from three of them and been wanked off once and that’s it. I’m jealous of you. I don’t know how old you are but I’m 31 and it seems like a bad age for it.

I did go to Poland last year and even though the women were staggeringly hot I was in a small town not unlike my own town and nobody used any apps there.

>>15161460
I watched that whole video. That was an awful lot of words to say basically nothing.

Bit of an obscure request here but...
I've got a gay friend I wanna hang out with and I'm conflicted with my sexuality over child abuse by my best friend when I was young.
I'm not sure what my limits are and am very conflicted over anything too much with a male.
What frag fits this feel?

>>15161555

What is a cheap but smell good fragrance? I’m not spending 50$ on a friend.

That's more or less where my parent have house in PL. Stockholm-Gdańsk is such a classic destination that it's almost a meme right now. Hope you liked your stay

It's a good smoky woodsy winter-fall fragrance. But so is Bentley For Men Absolute for 1/3 of the price. I'd recommend the latter.

what frag to wear to attract a polish whore?

>>15162099
Sopot is goat over summer, I've done too many M's partying in Sfinks700 club there. I've got some good friends in Gdynia - it's more laid back than the other twos. The modernist architecture there is great indeed.

>>15162111
I'm texting with this polish art school bombshell from Tinder rn and fuck me she's 10/10 in her Calvins. Despite looking like a blonde angel she's highkey crazy and already jealous of other girls lol. Told me to delete Tinder but I obvs laughed her off and got a wall of text in response, so I can already smell from a mile that it'll be a good fuck. I'm thinking of wearing my Zootopian Bat next time I see her to celebrate the end of covid quarantine.

My zara/jo malone samples are here. These frags are around $20 and are supposed to be great, let's see if that's the case.

Yeah, really wanna go back soon

>>15161876
Your life now is mine for eternity. I went to London last year for a stag do and matched with 32 women in two days. That’s more than I’d had in the previous six months. Fucking disgusting.

>>15162153
>Something different and a little edgy definitely, mostly just no sport frags and stuff like that
From my experience it doesn't matter really. Been fucking art hoes left and right wearing all kind of stuff. The other time I was talking here about this 18 yo Kiwi model from London. Before seeing her I doused myself in Kouros for fun and when we were cuddling afterwards I asked her what does she think of my cologne. She took a sniff from my neck and said 'it's nice'. And Kouros is supposed to be one of most polarizing and obnoxious frags around according to many here. I think people overthink it fragrances. The only way fragrances matters when it comes to girls is how do they make you feel. Buy and wear frags for yourself not hoes young kings

>>15162138
holy shit anon, you're making me jealous too
I'm thinking of wearing encre noire and a black anime hoodie on my next date, and take her to the forest or something

>>15162155
Yeah, I really wish I were locked down there not here. Girls are just bored on their phones like never before but logistics if you don't live close by is fucking hell. At least they shower you with nudes but who cares eventually

>>15162138
>polish art school bombshell from Tinder rn and fuck me she's 10/10 in her Calvin
Show this 10/10

>>15162174
They do? Shit, I’ve never got nudes, but I don’t attract women that do that so I’m not really on to a winner. I might have to change tact and remove all my interests from my profile and see if that’s what deters them.

>>15162180
this, post on /b/ or /gif/ and share link

>>15162174
how old are you btw, and how old are the girls you go for?

>>15162180
I don’t screenshot disappearing messages tho so don’t have the Calvin photos to post if that’s what you’re asking

>>15162187
Especially the passport girls from South/Latin America that this app is shitted with now. I literally ask them for their insta in the first message and send a dick pic there and they respond. But as I said who cares eventually.
>>15162193
25, I go for 18-23 typically

>>15162200
I did wonder why there were more Asian women now. Forgot about that.

I’m 31 so my current demographic appears to be “oh shit I need to settle down” women. I just want to fuck them. I missed out on all that by being a shut-in and now I’m expected to just get married? Fuck that.

>>15162187
first of all you shoudn't list all your interests in your profile, it's not a fucking advertisement
>>15162166
>>15162153
i think that it doesn't really matter unless you are wearing something that her ex boyfriend or a friend wears too. You could smear yourself in your shit and if she's into you she will associate her good feelings with the smell of shit. I had a girl tell me she liked how my skin smelled

>>15162166
Yeah definitely true, but in my experience Europe a lot of art hoes associate sport perfumes with sport bros but like you say it's not really important lol.
Though also I don't think anyone into frags should wear sport stuff basically

>>15162205
When I was most active in the getting art hoes scene in Sweden I wore a crazy cheap Björn Borg perfume because I wasn't into fragrances, and girls would compliment it all the time when we hooked up

That's not 10/10

>>15162230
There’s always one.

>>15162195
she has a bit of a horseface. Can tell she's crazy from the skull shape

Do you think Portrait of a Lady is worth sampling? It’s pretty expensive so I don’t want to buy a sample for the hell of it, but I am curious since it’s so highly praised.

>>15162202
You're still young, set your tinder age as 30 or even 28. Most young girls will search 18- to 30.

>>15162257
Yes it’s amazing

Sure is /frag/ in here

>>15162353
Yes. /frag/ - hustling, sluts and perfumes general.

>>15162257
Fucking love it. Seems like it's the most popular Malle so 2mls shouldn't be too expensive.

Based Eugene at it again with a livestream where he has Kristo and the former director of the Guerlain Toronto boutique on. Cool insights and talk about Guerlain frags.

You'll get it even cheaper on facebook groups for 5-10ml decant.

>>15162432
Cheers, mate. I’m assuming I won’t be buying a full bottle, partly due to cost, partly due to the femininity, but I’ve heard so much praise I have to try it.

>>15162373
She’s so hot kristo was too intimidated to say anything

I liked spicebomb and guerlain lhomme ideal, where to go next?

>>15162149
I've only tried Tubereuse Noir so far, and honestly, it's pretty damn good! It's a slightly weaker version of FM Carnal Flower, but it's still potent as fuck. Pure tuberose is what I get out of it, not as overwhelming as Carnal Flower. It is pretty much linear, I dabbed it on 2 hours ago and nothing's changed. For the price tag on it, I would definitely get this, at least a small bottle.
