I don’t care for leather in frags

>>15182385
Hello, meme anon are you here? How's it going with the chart?

>>15182324
>>15182235

Looks like my hair if I visit my barber every 4 months. Mr. Delon seems to have less volume (or has a ton of product or is already wet). I don't have a name for it, but I usually ask my hairdresser to trim my sides and leave the top long so I can part it on the side. Hope that makes sense.
Mr. Delon's hair could resemble - for anyone that had long hair - like the awkward growing up phase where it looks like a helmet.
Keep in mind he is Alain Delon and is a fucking chad. He'd look great anyhow.

Looking for based Amber frags.
I have many samples coming my way, but my fave so far have been Au Coeur du Desert, LDDM, and jubilation.

Can't wait to snifffffff based amber

BASED

>>15182465
Try Ambre Lumiere and Rochas Moustache. These two are amazing amber cheapies.

>flanker of a flanker of a flanker

It's time to stop.

Haven’t been here in a year.

What do we like now? Do girls still like fougeres? Is hookerfag still alive?

>>15182518
We like many things. Yes. Yes.

>>15182389
I agree. They insist upon themselves.

POAL is listed as a female scent, is that really so? I've tried many Frederic Malle's but not that one. Could a 30-something year old guy pull it off?

>>15182518
I’m still here, yeah. I’d never abandon my /frag/ brothers and... well, just brothers, really.

Blog post warning.

Finally finished my Wafts from the Loft video binge. I love listening to people talk about their passions. Those two have that in spades. One thing I found is I’m almost a little disappointed with myself. I got in to fragrances a couple of years ago. All of the 30ish fragrances I own are in the designer realm. I have TF Private Blends and a couple of Creeds. Acqua Di Parma, I suppose is niche. But otherwise it’s big names. It’s strange really because that’s not normally my style. When it comes to films I watch them from all decades, all countries. The same for music. I love art, modern art fascinates me. Even if I don’t understand things I appreciate the passion behind them. And yet when it comes to fragrances I was drawn to the big designer brands, which is almost the antithesis of what I’d normally do. Not that these fragrances can’t be good, but I find that they way they speak about independent perfumers or houses is more in keeping with what attracts me to certain bands or films. I wonder how different things would be for my own appreciation of fragrances if I sampled lots of high quality, niche brands rather than a few designer ones. I think I’m done with full bottles for a while and would much rather start sampling more niche stuff to broaden my horizons. If nothing else smelling lots of different thins might help me appreciate the ones I have already.

Time well spent watching their videos, I’d say. I just wish Dan would stop interrupting so much. Great couple of lads though, might have to make a pilgrimage to St Vedast.

>>15182537
Yes, in the right environment. It definitely leans female, maybe 70% female at a minimum, but if you like it, who cares?

>>15182462
Thanks. My barber is shut so I can’t do anything with my hair except hope it doesn’t look stupid. His hair is quite wet as he’s on a boat/in the sea.

But yes, he’d look good with half of his hair shaved off on one side and dreadlocks on the other. Well, maybe not, but you know...

>tobacco vanille
>tobacco (english)
>vanille (french)

TRIGGERED

>>15182541
Yes anon, sampling is the way to go.

>>15182568
I've definitely spent more money on samples than on full bottles in the last year or so. I'm really tempted to get a Frederic Malle bottle though.

post your favorite dentist office frag

>>15182599
that font, why

>>15182478
Thanks fren! For moustache do you mean EDP or original?

>>15182618
The new version

I'm actually liking Drakkar more than I am Paco PH.
For some reason the soapiness really works well with my skin. Will be a nice post shower/lazy day scent.

>>15182604
It's not bad and at least its original not stock font

>>15182634
makes me think of tim burton, some mister jack shit

>>15182599
E U G E N O L

>>15182478
Also couldn't find Ambre Lumiere Molinard samples. If I can't smell it I'm not buying a full bottle blind :(

Copped samples of Millesime Imperial, Cedrat Boise and Ambre Nuit
What should I expect?

>>15182599
FUCKACUM BUTT

>>15182650
Ebay? I got mine at facebook groups.
>>15182659
Cedrat Boise to be a nice fruity chypre.
MI to be strangely similar to Cedrat Boise with its fruit notes. It always smelled to me like salted marine CB.
Ambre Nuit to be snice but feminine leaning oriental frag.

>>15182630
Yeah, Drakkar is incredibly based. It has a nice woodsy and smoky aspect to counteract the synthetic soapy dihydromyrcenol. I like Paco Rabanne ph but I can understand why it's a bit overbearing. It's very "poofy" or "billowy" for lack of a better term. Unshakable image of talcum powder, chest hair and moist bathroom air. Only a tiny bit of dihydromyrcenol in PRPH but when you do catch it it's the most heavenly laundry smell ever. Lots of super sweet tobacco and coumarin in the base drown it out too much and make it too splashy and wet I think.

lads the meme got real

>>15182599

>>15182599

Yup, I will definitely sample this next fall.

>>15182465
Amouage Opus VI is exceptionally good.

>>15182839
I second this. Probably my favorite out of amber + bitter-herbal-green accord that one can find in Ambre Sultan, Opus VI and Ambre Lumiere. Had all three and the Molinard is the cheapest and not of any worse quality, so I always recommend this one.

My 5ml decant of Ambra Aurea should be with me tomorrow. Looking forward to test how animalic ambegris is there. It's also the threadly reminder that sampling/decanting is the only reasonable way around this hobby. I really like Profumum Roma and have decants of Acqua Viva, Acqua di Sale, Orangea, Ichnusa and now Ambra Aurea on the way. Given how potent this juice is it's enough for at least a year of wearing them whenever I feel like among other stuff in my rotation without need to spend $1300 on full bottles that I'd probably never finish.

>>15182538
:3

>>15182541
Wafts are imo the best reviewers in the game atm.

what are some good neroli fragrances?
other than tom ford

>>15182978
Ferrari Bright Neroli

>>15182978
Bright Neroli, Cap Neroli, Bulgari Opalon

>>15182704
Fucking kek

>>15182704
>no perfume fits this design better. why so many negative comments? le male was perhaps the first modern perfume metrosexual.io will buy the bottle. is beautiful.
>why so many negative performance ratings? the juice is always the same.
Also having a laff at comments and dislike ratio on Fragrantica. Maybe fragrances is quite a based hobby after all.

>>15182915
It's pretty nuclear, I prefer ambre precieux for skanky whale shit

>>15182704
>>15183000
>>15183018

>>15182978
You can get 500mls of cdg anbar for like 95$

>>15182423
I recently sampled this, it was weird

>>15183159
And it lasts what? 40 minutes?

>>15183041
I remember you suggesting ambre precieux for the chart when we were working on it here. Never managed to sample it unfortunately. Is it overwhelmingly animalic?

Just snapped a 7ml discovery set Roja Diaghilev for $40 on a facebook group. Guy will include a sample of Danger. Can't wait to receive it.

>>15183159
>Belgian Choco Truffle
>Popped Cherry
What the fuck is that, anon?

What is the point of these two fragrances? Literally 30 minutes performance or less in even in hot weather

>>15183374
I get a bit more than 30m from L'Homme but not much more. Maybe 2h. It's good if you need something inoffensive but not shower-gely in professional setting. I typically wear it for biz meetings. Also sometimes spray my bedsheet and pillows. It performs much batter on fabrics.

>>15183417
That being said I'd probably never buy it but got is as a gift from one of my ex-gfs.

>>15183374
These two are literally the best fragrances ever. Longevity is a meme for insecure faggots.

>>15183349
theyre dua brand frags, come in 30ml extraits. really good gourmands

https://youtu.be/wi9taUF_3P0?t=1075
What do you think was Pauly D's chad miasma? Also look everyone how normal people react to overspraying if you wear something good confidently. Don't be afraid of sharing your fragrance with others pussies.

ordered a bottle of sole de positano cus it was cheap

what else should i waste my unemployment checks on?

Sniffed Trex and almost threw up

>>15183229
About as long as Neroli Portofino then

>>15183594
I would say naxos, but that's close to what you have already. I'm currently masturbating to pictures of santal noble and zaharoff pour ohm, the latter is pretty old school in a good way.

>>15183494
It's funny how aroused she is by the sole presence of a celebrity Guido. That's precisely how niggas who need to read loud with their finger fuck multiple bitches with double degrees.

>>15183374
MI performs very well on me

Fahrenheit now is a fucking meme, Demachy proves he is an awful perfumer. Guys, don't buy it. I'll let it in my wardrobe for 8-10 years and I hope for the mandarin orange/cucumber notes could disappear.

>>15183374
I get at least 4-6 hours out of MI. Not great, but far more than 30 minutes. You’re becoming noseblind to it.

Additional -10% on allbeauty with code ALLB04-TZYD-EAWJ You can snap a 100ml bottle of Amouage for about 100 quids or 50ml TF Private Blends for 120 with it. Happy buying.

Rate my collection please, and if you can, suggest some scents to add. Looking to have a few scents for each season (spring, summer, winter, fall)

>>15183706
In case it's hard to see, from left to right
>1 Million
>Armani Code Colonia
>Davidoff Adventure
>Nautica Voyage
>David Beckham Instinct
>Abercrombie & Fitch FIERCE

>>15183706
>>15183748
According to hookerfag, even the hookers in Amsterdam don’t want to fuck you if you’re wearing 1 Million.

>>15183706
>>15183748
Oh boy. Don’t buy any new full bottle and start sampling instead. There’s nothing to rate here this is a shopping mall/YouTube tier rotation. I’d personally sell everything but Nautica that’s quite good for summer and for that money buy 3 quality cheapies for spring, autumn and winter: Ferrari Bright Neroli, Rochas Moustache, Chopard Oud Malaki. This would make your collection 10x better qualitywise.

>>15183833
And you’d probably even have somebody leftover money for samples. People don’t realise that for the retail price of most of Jeremy tier designers like 1 million or Armani you can get a full 4 seasons quality rotation.

>>15183840
Some leftover*

>>15183706
An honest rating is 2/10

Nautica Voyage is good for its price. Everything else can go straight into the garbage.

>>15183706
>all these barely used bottles
What is the logic here? Do people just feel like owning many fragrances for a sake of just owning them? Like, wake up one day with a thought I must get 6 colognes and buy whatever comes to their hands first? It’s not like he spent a lot of time with any of these colognes and some here are doing the very same job as others.

>>15183494
time to dig this out

>>15183494
10 sprays of Kouros, the newest formulation, I'm not joking.

>>15183855
just bought the 3 barely used ones for cheap. The fierce is almost empty, 1 million is half way to empty, armani came with a travel one I use when I forget to spray some.

>>15183833
I'll put those on a to buy list. I'm not gonna go through the hassle of returning them through shipping. They were pretty cheap anyways.

>>15183231
profumum was overwhelming to me, its full on volume up to 10 barnyardy myrrh-herbal amber thing. wish i could find my sample, but i dug out precieux and actually put some on this time, its really nice now. theres so much going on with it, its buttery, kind of pissy, herbal, musty, vanilla and spices, and powder. i thought it was old lady and it probably is, i would be more scared to wear this in public than some fruity floral.

>>15183706
I did maths and assuming that you bought these online not retail for 2x the price you spent around £250 for this collection that is arguably shit. For this money you could have:
>Lalique White
snice warm weather aromatic-spicy freshie £26.45
>Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme
fresh aquatic £24.99
>Caron Caron Pour Un Homme
interesting ultramasculine lavender £33.75
>Ferrari Bright Neroli
amazing refreshing white floral scent for spring and summer £18.95
>Lalique Encre Noire
dark moody vetiver for colder weather that is widely well-regarded as unique and niche quality £14.50
>Rochas Moustache EdP
sensual oriental frag for nights out or colder weather £29.60
>L'Occitane Eau des Baux
smoky sylvan masterpiece for winter £44.10
>Le Couvent Des Minimes Eau des Missions
250ml of yummy vanilla resiny gourmand £21.99
>Azzaro Pour Homme
the definition of a masculine fougere £24.99
>Bvlgari Black
an unconventional leather chypre £28.00

This gives you 10 fragrances for £267.32 that are all varied, high-quality, complex and cover all occasions, seasons and times of the day. Lurk more.

>>15183881
>I'll put those on a to buy list.
No. You didn't understand anything. First sample and only then buy a bottle.

>>15183891
Can't wait to test it tomorrow.

>>15183922
Yeah I got this bullshit in the mail also. Thought I liked it at first, but nope. It smells like fucking Karen. It has that shitty makeup waxy thing going on, it feels like I'm looking at something the consistency of playdough. I thought was roses and patchouli. All I want is a loud rose and some skanky patch. And they give me this shitty shampoo bullshit. I just looked it was a fucking MEGAN that sent this to me. I want to punch you Megan.

>>15183915
The 1 million was a gift from a ex, so I didn't pay for it. Total cost of everything was about 200 bucks.

Not a frequent /fa/g, so I only saw this after I'd already ordered weeks ago. Will lurk more

>>15183920
Ah, I gotcha. I sample those first then. I'll see what I like out of the samples they sent me with my order as well. Wish going to the mall was still viable, would make this easier.

I quite like the scents, but since I'm not experienced with this shit (hence why I just go whatever name brand), I wanna get better scents. Thank you for helping me out

>>15183938
If you want better, more distinctive scents, you gotta go niche but that’s quite the rabbit hole and gets very expensive.

>>15183945
I'm willing to spend. Just as long as its not Creed expensive, I'm fine

>>15183915
>Caron Pour Un Homme
>ultramasculine

>>15183656
£100 for 100ml of Interlude Man. Which will end first? The bottle or my life?

>>15184153
Creed is entry level, 2bh. It gets much pricier. The main expense isn’t necessarily the bottles, but buying samples to figure out what bottles you want. At 3-5.00 a pop, that shit adds up.

>>15184183

Yeah, I don't know where this is coming from. Maybe it's just coombrains that have been influenced by the ads idk. But it's cool to see Caron getting some recognition as a house, especially given that they're quite cheap.

By the way, does anyone own the parfum version? The sport one? The l'Eau? Could you tell us about it?

>>15184223
Most of people don’t have to order everything online but go to a department store (not under bar virus tho). Also it may add up but you’re still saving shitload of money that way.

>>15183915
This is based

>>15184485
> cheap
I am to lazy to describe, sorry. I also bought them without trying first since they are too cheap to spend time on decants or reading reviews. I wasn’t disappointed.

>>15183929
KAREN!!! I was tempted to buy some 10mL bottles of this and Eau de Minthe but they seem like dud releases and I'm a diptyque fan

>>15184216
Fucking hell, I’m seriously tempted. Should I?

What do you all think of it?

>>15184715
Based trio

Turns out, the tin can is not just black and silver. $110 for a sealed box condition.

>>15183652
What? New L’HOMME INFINIMENT is bad? I’ve got a vintage 1998 and a 2018 bottle and theyre pretty close. New is different than 2018?

>>15182423
Starting with floral today. If anybody could extract the notes and accords from fragantica that would be great, making this is really boring

>>15184976
how is it? i read it was really important and a benchmark but does it hold up?

>>15185105
or the text cause typing so much sucks too and I only have one monitor so it is a hassle

>>15184715
Aren't these three too heavy for someone who lives in LA?

>>15185024
The batch code is 8F01, it's from 2018. Poor composition, it's more similar to Aqua Fahrenheit than the old formulations.

>>15183876
It's fitting for them.
I do 5 sprays in various places or vintage stuff. It lasts forever and I can smell it on my clothes pretty much indefinetly, but I like to be noticed.
Plus it's such a natural smell that you can get away with it.
I'd like to point out a couple things:
1. Kouros is a summer fragrance. Maybe not exclusively summer, but when it's hot, and you sweat, you get MASSIVE sweetness and totally different notes. It smells amazing.
2. Things like Invictus Legend are capable of doing only one spray, and being noticed by the entire room.

Should I blind buy this? It's getting hot. I own Ideal Cologne, Ferrari Bright Neroli, and Prada Homme. Would it be redundant to add to my collection?

>>15185201
It’s my go-to for the high heat. More masculine than something like Bright Neroli.

It’s a very safe fragrance and I think it would be a fine addition, but if you can sample it (or at least try it) first then it wouldn’t be a bad idea.

>>15185201
It's a disappointing citrusy thingy that aspires to be a fougere. It wouldn't be redundant as you don't have a fougere there but you can do so much better by paying a bit more. Why not to get Penhaligon's Sartorial? It's a complex modern fougere that is sexy, sharp and masculine. Also perfect if you need something deeper for summer nights out. I'm wearing my decant right now and can't get enough of it.

>>15185214
If you want something particularly refreshing for heat then get rather Carven L'Eau Intense. This was the only thing that made me survive the over 100F heatwave in NYC last summer. Also cheaper, better quality and more interesting than Versace imo.

>>15185179
You are just saying the truth, Kouros is a summer fragrance. It's actually easy to wear and I even received some compliments.

Just got my bottle of Etruscan Water and holy shit it's good!

What's your SOTD /frag/?

It's finally warm-ish and sunny here, but not hot. Thinking of doing my sample of Diptyque Eau des Sens. Bright and uplifting but I feel it's too cloying in the real heat.

>>15185173
My 2018 bottle is fine. Sounds like you’re not really sure of what youre smelling.

>>15185317
I’ve been wearing the hell out of Beau De Jour recently but I’ve just had a shower and put seven sprays of Eau Sauvage on. I feel this is definitely a fragrance that rewards numerous sprays.

>>15185317
Eau de Rochas Homme

>>15184918
Anybody?

Surely people must have tried it here.

>>15185317
Laudano nero, I can only rotate with three decants right now

>>15183656
>ALLB04-TZYD-EAWJ
This voucher has expired. Got another one?

Thinking of blind buying Penhaligon's Sartorial. Yes or no?

>>15185148
It is pretty much on par with TF’s Fougere d’Argent and Beau de Jour just not as loud. Those go to eleven while Rive Gauche is confidentially at six.

>>15185152
I’d say they are well suited for Santa Monica but I am in Moscow for now.

>>15185390
the answer to that question is always no

>>15185404
why are you like that?

>>15185390
No sorry. And yes you should buy Sartorial. It deserves way more cred in these threads.

>>15185417
Ah blind buying. Idk mane then. It’s a great fragrance and I can’t anyone hating it but you should not get into a full bottle of stuff that you might just ‘like’ as the rule of thumb. I’m always against blind buys. You should be able to sample it on eBay or fb groups. I think penhaligons themselves might be selling samples.

My worst purchases:

> Dolce Gabbana - The One EDP
NPC ambery tobbaco

>Zara Vibrant Leather EDP
Watery pinneaple candy

>Cartier Declaration D'un Soir
Boring and it's a fag rose based perfume, not feminine nor masculine

>Dior Sauvage EDT
Good citrus-fougère opening, absolutely disgraceful metalic drydown

>Paco Rabbane pour Homme Eau
I've got fooled by Scentland

>>15185453
gift them to your family members


i bought sauvage and eros as my first frags thanks to you guys lol.. I gave them to my dad along with Fahrenheit, lunna rossa and luna rossa sport. i gave some nauticas to my brother too

>>15185150
>>15185105
>>15182385
>>15182423

Half of florals done. THIS IS A WIP! I know stuff is outside of the lines etc. Please somebody do a bit of all the typing required it takes ages to do this on my own

>>15185453
My worst purchase is probably Ultra Male. I don’t even dislike the smell, it’s just one I don’t know when to wear. Fortunately I got it inexplicably cheap (about £20) so I don’t mind at all, but it’s so massively different to the rest of my collection.

>>15185594
Also tried ORTO PARISI BOCCANERA today opening is disgusting, after while it is black afghano with chili
>>15185453
>Zara Vibrant Leather EDP
I feel you it takes like 15 sprays to last for an hour, I now use it as a room spray just to empty out the bottle so I can reuse it for a refill of whatever in the future.
>Dior Sauvage EDT
Got the EDP as a gift but quickly grew out of it sold it to some Sexcore wearing Turkish guy that was fawning over it, at least he was happy with it

>>15185201
for high heat i find Versace Man Eau Fraiche to be much more refreshing and overall a better scent

>>15185317
Stronger With You Freeze

>>15185594

Why are some of the note lists on here a different font color?

>>15185594
Is this being done in Photoshop or Illustrator?

>>15185727
On neither Fragantica or Basenotes are these notes divided into top, middle base. So once everything is done we need to figure out what to do with that
>>15185843
Photoshop

>>15185453
i've bought gucci guilty pour homme as my first frag and man it's so boring, I've also bought ultra male which isn't really that bad and i'm using it sometimes, but i feel that 10ml would last me a lifetime, and I have 125ml of that

Any /frag/ fellows try Diptyque Eau Rose?

>>15185639
have you tried blue seduction? Apperently it smells like Man Eau Fraiche, some say even better

>>15185313

What's it like?

>>15183652

Incense Anon update: burner arrived and is really nice. Waiting on the rest of supplies which will arrive soon. If anyone has any specific blend request to try out/review let me know.

>>15185404
>>15185422
Sorry guys, I've let you down. I just blind-bought a full bottle of Sartorial. On my defense, I paid half of what it usually goes for, so if I don't like it I can always sell it off without losing any money. Plus, I have samples of HdP 1725 and MDCI Invasion Barbare and I've been thinking about getting one of those, so this is a nice alternative at a great price.

>>15186074
Hey anon, I was talking to you the other day. I started looking for incense burners in my area, found this really beautiful one. It goes for $500, so I won't jump into it just yet, but...

>>15186114
...it's a fucking Guerlain incense burner, I would love to have it. If I switch jobs in the next couple of months and get that 20% salary bump I want, I might just treat myself.

>>15186121
Fuckin siiick dude

>>15186114
>>15186121
shit man, $500 is steep for a burner (mine was $45 on ebay) but that one is absolutely gorgeous, and Guerlain to boot. I love tri-pod burners and that one is a rarer western style tripod (most are asian with doggos on top). Totally worth it if you can save up.

In the meantime you can still practice burning in an abalone shell or anything really. Glad I am not solo in this.

>>15186148
>>15186151
the listing says it's from 1920, so it's a relic. It doesn't seem to have the little grate for the ashes to fall through but rather a solid base though.

>>15186184
mine doesn't have a grate either, I guess you could always add one but I am not sure if its needed. That thing looks incredibly solid, I bet its worth a lot more than that to the right buyer. A proper antique.

Btw I am trying out a new site for resins and blends that seems very well priced. "esotericaroma" which gave me 10% off for putting in my email. I got five 1oz+ things for $32 after shipping. they had all the basics, frankincense tears, ambers, myrrh, ect,

>>15186208
I think you're in the US, right? I'm in europe, I'll have to find my own suppliers here because cross-atlantic shipping can be a bitch.

https://youtu.be/325AGeRAWg4?t=115

WOO HOO

>>15186215
Yeah, I'm a burger. I am sure you can find cheap suppliers with all of Europe open to you. This is the sort of thing I am starting out with to figure out my preferences.

>>15182704

>>15186232
I would like to capture the "french gothic church" smell, any suggestions? Lots of frankincense and then play around with small variations?

>>15183915
based savage yet informative anon

>>15186275
I'm not a church goer, but I would assume this might be a good start.
>alchemy-works.com/incense_church.html
Pretty sure frankincense and myrrh would be a safe bet. Maybe throw in a few regional french florals like lavender & rose.

>>15183656
>allbeauty
These prices are really good. Amouage, Serge Lutens, Floris, Acqua di Parma, Penhaligon, Nasomatto. Top notch brands.

I can't wait for them to do JPG 'Le ????': Trans Pride Edition. The standard Classique bottle in light blue, light pink and white with the cock bulge from the Le Male bottle.

Top notes: Aquatic notes and sea salt that evoke the power of warm, salty tears.
Mid: Synthetic feminine florals blended with musk, ambergris and civet that give a faint impression of femininity underpinned with animalic masculines that will never pass as real.
Base: Vetiver, cedarwood and hay notes form a rope accord that mark the final destination of this aromatic journey.

oh I will, I have to justify the splurge somehow. getting sort of tired of obsessing over fragrance when I wear the same 2-3 and never leave the house

Real talk: pussy is better.

So my frangrances came in the mail, and I have to admit you guys were right. It was a dumb idea to purchase bottles this size without knowing what any of them smelled like first.

The Burberry London smells like garbage, I really don't like it. Nautica is meh but it was dirt cheap so I don't mind. I have never bought any fragrances before but the second I smelled the Sauvage EDT I knew that I recognized it, it's really that popular I guess. I like the afternotes with F by Ferragamo. I don't know how good of an idea this is but I've been layering Sauvage with Nautica, it's kind of hard not to overdo but I think I've found a decent balance.

Wearing cologne fucking helps a ton I used to use Old Spice in a spray can and since I've flipped over I've been getting a ton of compliments. If anybody has recommendations for samples I should look into I'd appreciate it, next time I won't be so retarded before I make a purchase, lesson learned.

>joe malone oud and bergamot

Got gifted this. I'm new to /frag/.. is this a good one? Run down on what I got please? I enjoy it so just curious

>RIDE THE TIGER

Guys, what you think of Dzing?

>>15187019
Lol I'm the anon above that did the same. I love the nautica tho. I only one that's not living up for me is the David Beckham instinct.

I also learned my lesson. One idea I had was to sign up for the frgrancex or whatever it's called subscription service. They get you 1 travel size a month for like 10 bucks if you sign up a for a year. Could be a good way to test out the hard to sample ones.

>>15187071
Most of the subscription services have a pretty poor selection, usually just generic designer stuff and maybe a few entry-level niche frags. Plus, you’re only getting to sample one thing a month, and 10mls is way more than you need to sample something.

I’d go on surrendertochance and order a few of their sample sets, that should give you a decent selection of classic designers and a couple niche, then you can branch out and order individual samples that interest you or order sample sets from particular houses. I think when I was starting out, I got their Creed, Amouage, and Tom Ford sets.

>>15187087
That's true. I was looking through the first couple pages of their options, and it was mostly the easily identified brand names.

I'll try surrender to chance

>>15187097
Yeah, the subscription sites aren’t really for people interested in fragrance or who want to learn about fragrance. They’re mostly for people who just want to have some fragrances on hand for dates or whatever and don’t want to bother too much with it. It’s like those monthly shaving boxes some guys get.

You’re much better off doing your own research and picking scents yourself that you’re interested in.

On my next to sample is Chergui, Musc Ravageur and Rose 31. Anything else I should try?

>>15187019
>Burberry London
I don't think Burberry has come out with a single thing I've sampled that I've liked, men or women's. At best its only been "alright". Shame because I actually like Burberry's fashion.

Has any anons here had luck sniping vintage formulations from shopgoodwill auctions or similar? I think they recently changed their listing categories to narrow it down to "fragrances"

Nobody responded so I bought 100ml of Interlude. Thanks.

>>15187040
I know nothing about it but I like that art work

>>15186074
Looks like an ayy is fucking an old man in the ass on top of your burner

>>15187124
That being said I have wanted to try Patchouli Absolu for the longest time.

Brainlet here Why are the prices so different? What’s difference?

>>15187426
The size of the frag? Like you can buy a 900ml of My Burberry EDP if you so wanted

>>15187426
the $340 pure parfum is the dankest stuff with the most concentrated expensive ingrediants, but its an overpriced meme because after all the reformulations and actual missing ingredients post-1980 or whatever its not the same no 5.

L'eau isn't even the same perfume as the other two, but if you are talking about the normal No.5 EDT its the same price as EDP and when you get into high-end designer fragrances it means very little other than just how its blended/formulated. *usually* EDT are considered lighter/causal easier to wear and not as high silage but in practice that is more of generality than a rule.

In case you were curiously, the No 5 EDT is the only modern version of No 5 worth buying. The pure parfum from the 70s or earlier (that hasn't turned or evaporated) is the holy grail for no 5 as a whole and the closest to the original formula from the 20s (but still very different)

>>15187444
And just to flex a bit that I'm not bullshitting

Which concentration of Bleu de Chanel is best bang for your buck? I'm leaning towards EdP

>>15187455
Hello Eugene

>>15187444
I had someone asking me if I wanted to cope a decant of 1980s No5 but I figured I might as well just go smell the original at the osmotheque or something

>>15187516
nta, fren.
>>15187526
If you get the chance for a good price, go for it and just throw it in dark, cool storage. They only increase in value and rarity.

Thanks for the replys. I’ve smelled it on several women and it smells like a baby’s wet diaper. Don’t get it.

>>15185980
i haven't tried it - i have a weird aversion to celebrity fragrances

>>15187572
I feel like I am missing an inside joke.
>>15187591
>baby’s wet diaper
that's been my experience with the newer EDP. the powder and aldehydes are out of whack. also because its the one that gets shilled the most, idiot boomer women who buy it because its "no 5" go with said EDP.

If you are buying it as a gift for a woman who insists she wants No 5, get her the EDT and thank me later. I don't really count them as perfume, but the hair mist and body oil are nice as well.

Do you guys reckon scat fetishists wear skanky ouds that smell like manure so they can have a chub on the whole working day?

Although no joke a ton of Hermes smells like actual horse shit, Gallop comes to mind.

>>15187714

what? All of Hermes smells really fruity and light to me. I'm thinking about most of the Hermessence line basically.

>>15187727
true, but galop'd hermes and its siblings all are made for mad, literal horse girls who want to smell like leather, grass, and horse manure

>>15186885

not really a big fan of the house myself, but burberry for men in the burgandy box is one of the best cheapie fougeres in the game. it's minty, fresh and settles with a nice sandlewood, soft fruits and musk with great preformance. been wearing since highschool and probably won't ever go without a bottle. it just werks.

>>15187019
You learned your lesson. Sell the stuff that you don’t like online and buy yourself some samples

>>15187040
It’s very fun fragrance

>>15187071
As the other anon said, most of subscription services are not worth it. The only one that I know of that is worth it is Bloom’s in UK. Maybe Nose. Just lurk more and soon you’ll have shitload of stuff that you’ll like to sample yourself don’t worry

>>15187124
Based choices

>>15187228
Good choice but at the same time 100ml of this juice is enough for your kids to pass it to grandkids as a gift to finish the bottle. It’s nuclear performance

>>15187494
Adidas shower gel is probably the best bang for buck when it comes to the BdC type of smell

>>15187686
This could be true.

Now that Dior's Leather Oud is discontinued, how much should I sell my unopened 250ml bottle for?

>>15187798
best time to sell is right after people panic buy and spike the price or hold it for the long haul when the dead stock dries up.

No doubt, but it’s the same price as 50ml at retail, even if 50ml would last a lifetime as well.

>>15187019
I'd always rather have one quality thing over 4 shitty things. When this is all over go out and sniff /frag/ is not for shut-ins. Also, get decants don't waste your money buying samples from a retailer. I have no clue why there's always a screenshot of someone wasting their money on upwards of $100 on 1mL samples that they can test (or get) for free.

But did you have SEX today

So this arthoe came yesterday and I went for Penhaligon's Sartorial at the end of the day. Next time I might go for Kouros but I didn't feel like last night. We ordered pizza, talked and fucked over and over again. It's amazing what girls will tell you if you make clear that you don't want anything but sex from them and ensure that you're not going to judge them on the other hand. Apparently her first boyfriend was this weird shy guy who lost his virginity to her at the age 22. I was sure that you find this kind of people only on reddit before I talked to her lol. At some point during their long distance relationship he told her out of the blue 'I bet you can't suck a dick over next 24h haha' and she was confused but said that sure I can download Tinder and do it to tease him back and then he said 'send me a video to prove it'. She got pissed off and did that. Since then he requested her to send him videos of her being fucked by other guys. Crazy shit and I can clearly see how it fucked her for life. She also told me about threesomes she had and how to get them and I'm now angling for one as she's apparently into girls too. Today I'm wearing Aqua di Sale as the weather is very gloomy, I can hear rain hitting my windowsill and I have a bit reflexive day after hearing all stories yesterday about this guy. Some people are fucked. What are you wearing lads?

>>15188059

I can imagine someone saying this about LDDM but ACDD is very masculine and assertive oriental. Either your skin chemistry is strange or it just contradicts your normal vibe bringing bad qualities by contrast. Idk man. I wouldn't worry too much what women say tho

>>15188132
I'm kind of tempted to use tinder just to listen to fucked up people's stories (and fucking them later), I'm in need of anecdotes to write about in my future best seller

>>15188159
It's crazy what I've heard from girls man. This was weird but stories that I've heard from models who were parts of celebrity or high society in London/NYC were also unbelievable. You hear some stuff now and then when things like Epstein gate etc happen but it's crazy what kind of life rich or famous live behind hidden doors.

>>15185317
Moustache edp

>>15188139
True. Your last sentence brought me back to my senses

What are you reading these days, lads? I bought a bunch of stuff at the beginning of the quarantine, making my way through it now. This book is really good, it's like the non-fiction version of Tolstoi's War and Peace. Super comfy story with all the behind-the-scenes of Napoleon's fall and the ensuing peace negotiations, where Germany, Russia, Austria and England basically split up Europe between themselves. I'm waiting for Sebald's The Emigrants to arrive as well.

There was a house that claimed to be selling Napoleon's favorite fragance, the one he put on before going to battle. Can anybody remember what that was? It's been mentioned here on /frag/ a bit.

>>15188217
Was it 4711?

Anyways, I'm reading A Short History of the World my self. I love it. It also includes Bonaparte, and I love the guy. Too bad he spent his last years in a tiny shithole island.

>>15188217
Its not a house but a french museum called the osmotheque, they produce it based on an original recipe so it's 100% legit; wafts did a video on their trip there and the cologne was among the frags they reviewed.
As for books I'm still reading hegel's science of logic, I have got a hardcover of the first three books of in search of lost time but I've already read it almost entirely, wish I brought back more books
if you haven't read Diplomacy by Kissinger already then you might want to check it out

>>15188246
Sorry, I'm not sure the cologne is produced by the osmotheque itself but it's based on one of their recipe

>>15188217
/fraglit/? /fraglit/.

Post what you're wearing and reading these days. I'm cheating a bit as I already applied Aqua di Sale but gonna wear Bat in the evening. Zamoyski is based, one of the most renowned Polish writers who has been the candidate for the Nobel Prize in Lit for many, many years. However, Tokarczuk got it last year. If you like this book then you should defo try The Books of Jacob. I don't know if it's translated already to English but that's a monumental work of fiction in a non-fiction setting. She did massive research in XVIII c. history to write it. Very comfy too. I've read The Emigrants. Austerlitz stays my favorite Sebald's book. It's so gloomy outside that I might actually reread it.

>>15188132

That kind of stuff is completely alien to me lol. I mean I've fucked hookers, but actual hookups never.

Anyway, today I finished my CELTA and I was wearing Beau de Jour.

Just scooped a lil decant of Prada Infusion d'Iris 2007

>>15188246
Nope, this is not what I'm talking about. It was an actual frag house selling a perfume that Napoleon was supposed to love. It's probably just a bullshit story, like Eight&Bob and their Kennedy story. Anyways, I'll keep looking.

>>15188253
Have you read anything by Thomas Bernhard? The people I meet who are into Sebald are always into Bernhard as well.

>>15188289
Yes, I actually read almost everything that he wrote. He, Sebald and Krasznahorkai definitely share this similar melancholic central-european vibe that I enjoy severely in their literature. Bernhard is way darker than Sebald though. The Loser and The Lime Works are probably in my top 5 books I ever read. However if you won't like one of his books, you'll probably not like any. He's a bit similar to Houellebecq in having a couple of leitmotifs that always serve as background for all stories. Misunderstood genius, madness of self-imposed isolation, introspective journey following someone else's foothpath etc.

>>15188197
We make car/vehicle paint. Late last year we had an order for paint for a Formula 1 team. They look through the colours we make and request one. We make it up for them, I spray it, compare the one we made to the colour they requested and I have to say if it’s correct or not. If not I have to put it right. Quite a lot of pressure to think that I’m approving stuff to go on people’s Aston Martins or Ferraris. Or in this case actual Formula 1 cars.

I don’t want to go in to too much detail that might reveal more about me or who I work for, but I can answer more questions if you have them. It’s a skilled role and not everybody can do it so I get paid more than most people I work with.

>>15188302
Not him, but do you mean Laszlo Krasznahorkai? One of the best in the world. I discovered his work through the films of Bela Tarr and I’m so glad I did.

>>15188132
Wearing Black Orchid today. Wearing it to work, arguing that anybody that complains is standing too close. I adore this fragrance so much. I’ve had it a few weeks and I’m starting to notice more already. It’s the first time I’ve detected a more prominent chocolatey note.

>>15188343
Yes
>I discovered his work through the films of Bela Tarr and I’m so glad I did.
Same

>>15188302
The Loser was my first Bernhard, loved him ever since. The one about Wittgenstein building his pyramid house in the middle of the forest, was it Concrete? That one was also great. And yeah, The Lime Works, the guy living in that little ranch thing, hating everybody around him. I've also read Krasznahorkai (I've got hungarian roots), I didn't really enjoy him that much though.

Wearing Paco Rabanne pour Homme today. What a fucking vivid scent of laundry and cigars lol. Top tier sleaze and not quite urinal-cakey like Kouros or Sung Homme

>>15188327

Rotation/casino anon here, I'm at home but on full basic pay although I'm starting to miss work after six weeks or so now. Probably going to be a long time, maybe until as late as Christmas until I can work again. Good and bad really, nice practically being a NEET for the rest of this year but still getting full basic pay although but I miss the tips because that's really where I find most of the money for frags and other throwaway stuff. That said, do wonder what good it's going to do my health since I seem to be drinking a lot and took up smoking cigars again now I have the free time and better weather to sit around in the garden smoking them.

Haven't brought a full bottle since just before the lockdown but I'm probably going to get one or two new summer ones soon. Torn at the moment between Sole di Postiano and AdP Arancia di Capri. Bit dissapointed the corona sales haven't been as good as I'd have expected, haven't seen anything I really want going at good prices since I got the MDCI ones with 25% off. Almost run out of samples and decants for the first time since I started buying them, that's one of the surprises of the lockdown; I'm actually using the lot up now.

>>15188059

I'd get it anyway, she'd probably like LDDM even less if you considered it an alternative. I rediscovered ACDD recently using samples up and wore it alongside LDDM with one on each arm and forgot how good it is, seriously thinking about selling my LDDM and replacing it with ACDD now, it's so much more wearable and I find that the biggest issue with LDDM.

>>15188498
Been browsing Fragrance General for a month or so. I usually post on /fa/, /lit/, /mu/. Still reading and learning about fragrances. The only ones I had before coming here were Old Spice and Calvin Klein Eternity. Trying to sample as much as I can from the fragrance charts. This thread is so good because of the perfect balance between shitposting, offtopic and actual valuable posts about fragrances.

>>15188507
>it's so much more wearable and I find that the biggest issue with LDDM.
I'd argue the opposite. LDDM is way more crowdpleasing and mild.

I keep thinking I should write up a little pastebin with info on buying samples. First all the retailers that sell samples, and then all the houses that have their own sample sets. We could include price, variety, size, spray or dab-stick, what else? I might have time to write a draft over the weekend. Then we wouldn't have to go into the same discussion all the time, just point to the pastebin and be done with it.

>>15188513
I'm from lit too, what do you think about the current state of the board0

>>15188513
>>15188529
I'm a /lit/fag since before /lit/ existed, we just used to have book threads on /b/. At one point I got a bibliotik invite from another /lit/anon, loved it. We used to have sharethreads and post all kinds of e-books, really obscure stuff. A lot of what I've posted is probably still up on soulseek. Then my account got suspended for some reason. Haven't been on /lit/ regularly in a while, it's kinda shit right now.

>>15188519

Could be a skin chemistry thing thing then. I find ACDD louder but at the same time smoother and more rounded. LDDM at least on my skin smells spicier and sharper, had both positive and negative comments on a regular customer who also owns it noticing and enjoying it to 'that smells like you're wearing curry' from a relative. The latter I see a bit of but only really in the opening when I notice the cumin more. It's nowhere near Journey Man though in that regard, that just smells like curry in the opening rather than part of a blend of different scents.

>>15188466
We make that joke a lot. There’s a globally recognised test that’s used to discern your ability to do it. You’d be surprised how fussy some cunts are. You could get a damn near perfect match and they’d send it back because they sprayed it wrong. If you own a car with a metallic finish I hope you appreciate how difficult it is to get that right.

It’s definitely one of those jobs that most people never even consider despite the fact cars are so common.

>>15188529
not that anon but I don't think there's anything that changed really, the past /lit/ before "/pol/ invaded" some people fantasize about was mostly shit like today's lit but even less diverse; I remember reading an archive of a thread where the op was making detailed points on oswald spengler's decline, what ensued was autistic rage from dozen of uninformed smug retards that couldn't believe someone out of the herd was allowed to express his opinion. at least now most currents are discussed even if mostly by uneducated yet not unopiniated brainlets.

I just imagined a movie where casino anon, hookeranon anon and MDCI anon plan a heist to steal a secret perfume formula from Roja Dove's bedroom. It's like Ocean's 11 but set up in a department store instead. There are a lot of hookers, booze and compliments from women involved. At some point they meet the review anon who's now a Christian and abandoned the fragrance path and who tries to warn them to forget about their plan and take the Baraonda pill. They don't listen to him though and regret that when they make it to Roja's bedroom as there is Roja and Jeremy with noses all white of coke waiting there for them, and they must defeat a legion of their arab and indian minions.

I always enjoy talking about fragrances with girls that I have over. One girl recently couldn't get over Fat Electrician, saying it was what a perfect fragrance smelled like. Today I'm wearing 24 gold, just one spray so I can enjoy a whiff occasionally. It makes me smell like one of the Middle-Eastern students that turn the local high-end coffee shop into a biological fallout site.

>>15188697

Don't forget Polskibro too he fits right into this picture.

It would make for be one of the most aesthetic films of our generation though absolute peak sleazecore in every aspect. If only competent screenwriters viewed /frag/, fleshed out this could be an absolutely kino film.

Nice sense of community in this thread. Currently wearing Hugo Boss Bottled Night my first fragrance when it first came out. It’s really comfy and relaxing, makes me feel at peace.

>>15188493
I also really like the boardgames general on tg

>>15188798
I want to write a screenplay one day. I’ve been having ideas for about ten years for one. It’ll be my magnum opus, but I need to actually start it. I’ll write a /frag/ film first to get me going.

£30 for 50ml of Kouros. Seriously tempted, but I normally refuse to blind buy anything, especially a controversial one. How pissy is it? I mean really. I’ve been watching Wafts and I feel they may have skewed my perception of it and almost made it sound like a safe fragrance, relatively speaking.

>>15188697
Lol, would sign up for it
>>15188798
I guess I'm the same person as MDCI anon and the resident Chypre Palatin shill
>>15188857
It's not that bad really. It's foremost a lavender heavy fougere with some animalic vibe but it's really well blended with aldehydes and honey. Many girls told me that it smells nice and I'm 25. No comment about it being skanky or dated. It's definitely not a usual safe shower-gely freshie and you shouldn't have a problem to sample it in UK really. Plenty of decanters selling Kouros on eBay here

Hmm, well I already have Beau De Jour so if it’s primarily a lavender-based fougere I feel that’s enough of a reason not to buy it because I doubt it’ll do anything BDJ can’t. I’ll wait and give it a spray whenever Debenhams reopens.

Nothing. Just sleeping, watching movies, playing vidya, and cooking a lot. Don’t gotta work, and the entire sex work industry is shut down other than sketchy, probably trafficked girls on classifieds sites who probably have worse shot than the Rona. I’ve prepaid for a couple bookings with some of my regular ladies to help them out, so when restrictions lift, I’ll be fucking like a rabbit, but nothing right now. The lack of sex is starting to get to me a bit, not gonna lie. Humans aren’t supposed to just not have sex, it fucks with our brains. There’s a reason incels are such pathetic fucks. Their brain is melted from a lifetime of no sex. Poor souls.

>>15188697
I’m in!

>>15188906
I’ve never had it (31) and I feel it’s ok because I don’t know what I’m missing. Got wanked off a couple of months ago and then never heard back from her. And then six weeks later she posted on Instagram about living with her boyfriend. Weird.

It's vastly different from BdJ, so yes, it'll cover an whole other area.

And I wouldn't wear BdJ in the summer heat. Kouros, on the other hand....

>>15188803
I like wearing that too after a bath in the evenings, just cosy up with a Bailey's coffee and a film.

>>15188934
Ok, fine, I’m back on board. What do you think makes Kouros excel in the heat?

>>15188899
It's really different. 'Lavender heavy' fougeres can form a genre on its own tbf. Like only two days ago I was wearing Nobile 1942 Fougere Nobile which is like a more masculine PdM Herod if it was a fougere and yesterday Penhaligon's Sartorial. All 4 are completely different. Great variety here. I'd suggest testing it mate. Even if you won't like it Kouros will serve as a reference point for you in future, this is such a distinctive fragrance.

>>15188940
I swear it helps me sleep better too.

>>15188972
Thanks. I like trying the classics anyway so I’ll make sure I try it. I still need to try Antaeus and Drakkar Noir as well from the classics 80s fragrances.

>>15188920
I guess that makes some sense. I think with incels, it isn’t just the lack of sex, since there are plenty of people who don’t have sex often who don’t become pathetic little bitchboys like them. I will say, though, once you’ve had a girl take your dick all the way down her throat while licking your balls, you definitely want that to happen again. As much as possible.

Any of you guys by chance Kourosposter? Remember reading he was a /lit/fag who mosied on over here and dropped hallucinatory haunting precautionary tales.

>>15188945

The whole point of the fragrance is to smell like the aftermath of sex. I'd wear it anytime, but when you're sweaty and sticky on a hot summer day, it brings out all the sexual energy of the frag.

>>15188991
I started posting on 4chan in late ‘06 I think. It’s a miracle I haven’t become an incel. Instead I’m a guy that discovered cool video games, great music and films, an interest in photography and fragrances and cooking. Apparently life just went in such a way for me that I never had a gf. I haven’t had a bad life so I’m not too worried.

>>15189004
He's gone mate.

>>15189030
Jesus Christ, you reminded me of her. She's still the /frag/ Queen.

Akira Kourosaga

>>15189036
I dunno. It looks like she’s had a lot of work done recently, plus I don’t live the shorter hair. She was a goddess when she was doing the shoots with the long hair a few years back.

>>15189030
pls take me back brehs

>>15189030
>>15189036
Yoo I'm still in her DMs on insta after she was visiting briefly London and wanted to take her out to break the curse. Not all of hope is gone.

>>15189051
Snice!

>>15189039
Kek, I mean, snice.

I use these sometimes, but i'm also saving for the future (tfw no gf)

>>15189068
Mirin' these vintages

That's a very comfy edition of /frag/.

what do /fa/nons think? is it legit?

Parfums Vintage just released another 2 versions of Aventus. They have what, like 15 different versions now? That seems like way too many. They can’t be THAT different from each other to warrant that many. Does 5% more pineapple or whatever really justify an entire new release?

>>15189084
Shame it’s almost over. But we’ll always have the memories.

>>15189088
Looks legit to me

>>15189091
Given Creed’s quality control they probably have 50 editions of Aventus so Parfums Vintage are slacking.

>>15189091
Yeah I agree. They used to have a place on the market but at this point when they got as expensive as a big decant of the actual Aventus it's ridiculous

>>15189093
I was surprised because the code isnt at the very bottom and it's somewhat hidden between the text but now I know it was a thing in older batches

>>15189105
I'm not an expert though fren. The bottle and sprayer look fine to me.

>>15189092
I mean, all we gotta do is just not be autistic dipshits again next thread.

...I’ve just fucked the next thread, haven’t I?

>>15189105
It's legit, I have the Dior Homme EDT, the batchcode is like that.

>>15189030
I was there on that thread when the original snice pic was posted. Never knew it was actually her, I didn't follow the whole saga that closely. Was it Roja Enigma she was wearing on that flight? It was some Roja, I'm pretty sure.

My Sartorial has just shipped. Hopefully it'll be here next week. Hope it doesn't disappoint! And I swear I'm never blind buying again.

>>15189118
I remember something similar. But I think it was someone else who was saying that waitresses and staff treat them differently when they wear expensive fragrances like Roja and then she chimed in about the compliment she got on a plane.

>>15189111
is it one of early 2k1X batches?

>>15188132
Man your stories always make me miss my Tinder days haha. I've met some mad people but also heard great stories and had a lot of great sex

>>15187798
Is it since? I could get a good deal on it and yes I like leather.

I paid way too much just for a sample of this shit, but it is the best "true" commercial rose perfume I've ever encountered. The price is unjustifiable though, and Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's "Rose Red Perfume Oil" LE smells VERY close and a fraction of the price. The only thing it lacks is the wine and patchouli, but it does have those sharp green notes from the stem.

Only downside is you have to do your own perfumers alcohol mixing for similar silage/duration and I haven't fucked with that yet.
