Maybe I shouldn’t have opened it then...

No, I love it too much. I’ll die before I finish it. From what I gather the only two productions and it are in England and Oman, with the English one being inferior. I live in England so I was expecting an English batch so this is a really nice surprise.

Rate my growing collection anons. How do you like my perfume fridge?

>>15247798
Take it easy and enjoy it first of all. It’s not like you’ll get £1000s for it anyway but I guess it’ll jump to twice what you paid easily some time after discontinuing Interlude and replacing it with Black Iris.

i feel like joy amin would be fun to work with. he seems nice and approachable

I wish i could afford 200mls of the tom ford blue bottles. I feel total sour grapes when i spray this on

so it turns out i won't be able to get my ambra aurea decant because it dried somehow, the guy who sold it to me offers me free amber decants in compensation (plus the dried decant that i won't be able to wear but still could smell): elie saab ambre, eau d'ambre extreme AP, velvet amber D&G and ambre narguile
i've got to say ambre narguile seems tempting though so does the elie saab one. wat do?

NEW WAFTS! Talking about Interlude Black Iris Man.

https://youtu.be/uBv_-fckIWI

I want to get into vetivers. Should I go straight into Tom Ford? How about Guerlain Vetiver, since it gets recommended a lot as a good starting point for the scent? I've also heard about Encre Noir / Sport but reviews for those suggest that it's a bit harder to wear compared to the first two.

I should say that I wouldn't ask this question at all if I could get samples for all four. I'm thinking of just blind-buying one of them because I've sampled vetiver essential oils and I really liked how they smelled.

>>15247975
Everytime you could go treat yourself to something say snacks, fast food or alcohol, just avoid the temptation and file that money away as "saved" then rinse and repeat and all the money not spent on that can go towards a bottle.
The same way I saved up bit by bit each week to buy some necklaces.

>>15247985
or maybe try pour un homme parfum

>>15247798

Fucking IFRA. What a bunch of cucklords.

>>15248064
Oppoponax and myrrh are shit anyway. Good riddance

>>15248074
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

>>15248074
Eventually frags are going to be just be colored water. Fuck IFRA

>>15247870
Black Calamus is based as fuck. Don't know more about them though.

>>15248020
Guerlain Vetiver is surely the best choice for you.

Now is probably the last chance to cop pure tonka for a semi fair price. It’s definitely worth 75-85 but not 100+. Sure wish I was the kinda guy who could comfortably afford backup bottles, but I’d rather not buy another and give someone else the opportunity to enjoy it

>>15247798
My made in UK Jubi is already nuclear. Oman bottles must be fuckin crazy

>>15248123
I’d only had a tester of Interlude Man and obviously it has a smaller sprayer but having a Big Boy spray from the full bottle puts in to perspective how ridiculous this fragrance is. I put on four sprays straight away and I can practically taste it.

the fucking amouage bottles aren’t all made in one place ?

not often do i consider myself a winner, but today? I know I am.

>>15248149
I don’t know what the difference is specifically but I’ve just seen people saying that Made in a England batches are worse. I wonder if they make them their because they’re popular fragrances in luxury London department stores so they can save on shipping. Purely speculation though.

>>15248130
>four sprays
Big mistake. With Interlude you don't wear more than 2, 3 can easily choke an entire room.

>>15248167
I’m home alone and excited, I won’t be doing it again. If I’m going down the pub it’ll be one on the chest. Two at the absolute most.

Take the Coco Noirpill

>>15248020
Another good entry-level vetiver is Guerlain's L'eau boisee, especially if you intend to wear it in a warmer weather.

>>15248020
vetiver sucks

>>15248414

>>15248430
Name three good vetiver frags that aren’t fat electrician. You can’t

>>15248456
Name three good colors besides red. You can't.

>>15248465
Red is the worst color by far. What kind of retard are you

Sex, effortlessly

>>15248473
The bottle is fucking atrocious

>>15248476
Agreed, Look up xerjoff bottles if you wanna see some more ugly ostentatious garbage

>>15248476
It is pretty ugly but feels nice in the hand

>>15248478
Unfortunately, I am already familiar with them. The ones with a tassels are the worst, still can't take Xerjoff seriously because of this.

>>15248473
Ah, I see you’ve traded in your Eros for an overpriced Eros clone. Cool.

>>15248020
Try Chanel Sycomore. Then ELDO Fat Electrician, Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Frederic Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire. L'Artisan Parfumeur has a bunch of vetivers. Dyptique Vetiverio is ok.

>>15248020
>>15248531
Also Hermes: you have Bel Ami, which is an old-school vetiver, you have Vetiver Tonka which is leathery/creamy, and you have Terre d'Hermes Vetiver something.

>>15248004

I wear rose&rose as a girl.

>>15248020

Layton smells like boss bottled, not eros

>>15248594
Does it have any sweetness? I love the butterscotch and vanilla smell some have.
Pre ifra pinesol was better

This shit is brilliant. I can't get enough of it since I got my sample from Jovoy. There are two accords a cozy woody one made of sandalwood+vetiver+gaiac but on top of it you have smooth as fuck boozy vanilla yogurt. Very unique stuff, totally worth being someone's signature. Mogs the shit out of Kilian's Sacred Wood that also tries to be a milk+sandalwood fragrance. 9/10

>>15248576
Imagine spending thousands of dollars on frags but not getting your hair cut to look respectable or at least hair systemed

>FdB - New York Intense
>Rich, dark resinous incense with spices and woods. Liking it on paper so far, but too hot to wear something like it today. 8.5/10
I loved it too. It's veeeryyy similar to Jubi 25. But thanks to god doen't have this 'stale dried fruit dark chocolate' vibe that I get from Oud+Blackberry in Jubi on my skin (pic related is my last winter rotation - I had to resell Jubi for this reason). Also performs way better on me than Jubilation out of which I was getting maybe 4h and it was an Oman bottle.

>>15248569

Wearing this on one hand and just isn't as good as I was expecting it to be. Nowhere near as strong or projecting well.

>>15247751

THE BOX

>>15248677
A bunch of designer frags and then some overpriced arab shit. The only good thing there is that MDCI.

He'll run out of species soon.

>>15248681
How's Black Aoud? I'm warming up to oud as a scent, hated it at first when I tried my first "proper" oud in the Boss flanker (since it wasn't overly sweet like the Lynx shower gel) and it took me by surprise.
I'm interested in trying out the classic rose/oud combo and it seems Montale has that down to a fine art.

>>15248681

>vintage Jubi bottle
>Interlude
>MDCI Syndicate membership card
>New York Intense
>Eau Sauvage

Ultimate /frag/ rotation in a single picture. Only thing missing if anything is Baronda

>>15248683
Funny, I get both massively better projection and longevity from it than from Jubilation 25.

>>15248690
>WHY THEY DO THIS

I have not been on /frag/ for over a year I think but wtf, why does this thread my so fast all of a sudden? What happened? I'm used to waiting hours for replies

>>15248719
Jack from The Perfume Nationalist

>>15248695
Does Koala have a chlamydia note?

>>15248702

I prefer it to Jubilation and sold that off last year because it just didn't work on my skin and ended up smelling like BO if I got just slightly warmer than normal but NYI still feels lacking for some reason.

>>15248713
I like my bee special edition box

>>15248697
>How's Black Aoud?
It's controversial. I tried like dozens of rose+oud combos and I'm just not convinced by the western standard take on it. Tried all MFKs both EdPs and Extraits, Oud Ispahan, Oud Palao and all other memes and none of them worked for me really. They were too feminine and sweet for my nose. Is it natural? No it is not. Is it very synthetic? Yes, it's almost screeching in the first few second before it settles down. Is it nuclear? Yes it is, a friend of my sprayed it twice on himself as a joke before we went to the college gym together and he literally filled entire gym with his scent. It was just insane to smell Black Aoud from him 10 meters away once he got warm. Does it all make it bad? No, it doesn't, it gives it this daring edge that I was looking for and found in Black Aoud. I was also told many times that I smell good wearing it. Not that I care but it's probably my most complimented frag to be fair. The only western Rose+Oud that is as good in my book (but completely different at the same time) is Alexandria II by Xerjoff. Sadly my last memory of wearing it was a silly night out when I cut my hand open after punching a glass door and ended up at A&E waiting for an ASAP surgery so it's kinda ruined for me.

>>15248697
montale and mancera are synthetic dogshit

>>15248730
It was released in 2020 bro.

>>15248695
What are the actual notes

>>15248706
>>15248724
>>15248759
I really don't like the sound of the notes on this one desu. It sounds like a cough sweet.

>>15248751

>Hi Mr Montale, my name is anon. I'm the number one fragrance influencer on a mongolian basket weaving forum. I'm a big fan of your brand! Black Aoud is currently my most complimented and disliked fragrance!

>>15248701
I personally don't like Baronda that much. My favorite boozy fragrance is Jovoy Les Jeux sont Faits but sadly something in it really irritates my nose. It was a part of my Autumn roto last year for some time but I ended up selling it for this reason.

>>15248766
Kek

After testing and loving sloth, I bought a bottle.
Zootopia now coming out with a Koala. I honestly can't wait to sample this one out too. Looks comfy

For real, why are these threads moving so fast suddenly? I haven't been here in a year and there were sometimes hours in between posts.

Are frags cool now?

>>15248774
Btw it's mad that I finished my bottle of Chypre Palatin in a bit more than 6 months. I'd been enjoying the shit out of it. That's one that I'm going to rebuy for 100% once the weather gets more appropriate for wearing it again.

>>15248782
Less than 30 posters. Just a bunch of autists stuck at home

>>15248782
I for one started procrastinating in these threads a lot because of Corona and working from home lol

>>15248761
>>15248778

Honestly it's strange to me that both are being released so close together. I mean I get that timing is hard to manage, when a scent is finished you don't want to wait too long to release. But, I feel like they would have benefited from putting something way different (like this supposed arctic one) between them.

>>15248782
I'm corona posting bro. Working from home but don't really do much.

>>15248753
I agree, but I think that one would be different from what I've heard

Technically, red isn't event a color.

Honestly where the FUCK can I get a decant of Eau Sauvage Parfum 2017 in Scandinavia? No one in the Facebook groups seems to have it for some reason

I actually took some time to browse r/fragrance and check some collections
It's unbelievable how much better /frag/ is. We have consoomers as well, but most of us have good medium range niche rotos

OP strikes again!

>>15248020
Vetiver is a huge genre at this point. You need to decide what sub-genre you want out of it, in other words do you want woody/boozy, fresh/citrus, fruity, floral, etc. etc. vetiver. I say try to sample/get your hands on decants of the ones anons recc'd you.

Too lazy to watch, not into Amouage at all but into iris, what's the consensus on this frag?
>>15248695
Never liked Zoologist. Dislike the concepts, dislike the packaging, especially dislike the idea of a contractor house and I don't care for the owner (especially after the Bat debacle). On top of it all they've fallen in to the trap of over-releasing and releasing too frequently
>>15248719
>>15248782

>Too lazy to watch, not into Amouage at all but into iris, what's the consensus on this frag?
They cucked it and made it more designerish.

>>15248894
Most of people who I heard praising it are paid shills like Demi.

I've been wearing a sample of Aventus over the past month and I still don't understand why this frag is so highly rated. I really don't know how to describe this except 'burnt citrus'. No idea how this commands such an expensive price premium, and frankly thats my opinion for a lot of the other Creed frags I've tried.

>>15248757

I meant Jubilation that I sold, NYI I just have as a sample.

Show me a fragrance that have a salty pussy undertone

as another anon pointed out, the 50ml bottles are sleek and sexy, the 100ml ones are clunky black blobs.

Damn labdanum, frankincense and rosewood absolutes from Mellifluence layer really snice. I'd sprinkle some bergamot on top of it and legit wear it as a perfume.

>>15248952
OK I did some research. What about one of these:
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune
Lanvin Arpège
Bvlgari Omnia Coral
Guerlain Mitsouko

>>15249105
If she's into classic florals, these are excellent choices. Guerlain Allegoria line is probably the safest choice of your list.

>>15249105
How old is she? Is she open to experience? Erase her face and post some pictures of how she dresses like. Also typically a good gauge if you can buy a girl something more interesting is if she's into niche skincare products etc. Girls are really impressionable when it comes to brands and marketing. Those who are into this stuff for sure have heard about Byredo, Diptyque and some other high-street 'niche' houses that are heavily covered in all these more hipster women magazines. For sure you don't want to buy a brand that she doesn't recognize or associated with cheap stuff.

>>15249014

>>15249126
>>15249105

Don't overpay for niche garbage brands like Byredo and Le Labo, especially in this kind of relationship. Imagine you paying big bucks for a bottle of MDCI Promesse de l'Aube and she leaves you after that. Save for your future wife. But I agree with the anon, you have to know what type of perfume she likes. Have a look on the guide, both volumes. Buy samples, do a little research before.

>>15248576
APH worth a blind buy? im always looking for a tester but never seen one. is it in the same genre of dated powerhouses like kouros, antaeus and obsession that old people have to cope to themsevles that they're still good?

>>15249196
>women are noselets
Why is it the case? The entire life of some of them revolves around being pretty and nice smelling yet they all end up buying La Vie Est Belle.

>>15249213
Because they are merely interested in perfume as a beauty acessory, like makeup, clothes and jewerly (tattoos nowadays). Collect, review, read, research, batch codes, rare bottles all this shit is a man thing.

Women having taste is a meme, they don't have a better judgment on anything fashion related though they seriously believe they do. I think they are only good at telling what is out of the norm because they unconciously conform to it.

It’s not that it’s bad, it’s that it’s a basic, crowd pleasing designer scent being represented as a niche scent and sold at niche prices. PDM is a glorified designer house that pays YouTube talking heads to shill for them. They’re an even faker “niche” house than Creed.

>>15248979
This is cringe to me desu. He makes it look like Jeremy made him depressed. Who gives a shit what Jeremy does. If he's fake personality is netting him money, them have at it I say. Doesn't affect or phase.me otherwise. But here this guy is being all mopey because Jeremy is fake? Pff haha

>>15249187
If you can get an old bottle yes. I had one a while ago and lost it moving. Still Pissed. Very masculine powerhouse frag. Perfect for the heat if youre cool with smelling like an oily man with a lot of chest hair and a mustache.

>>15250637
The new reformulations are no good?

>>15250564

This. He comes across like he's just letting Jeremy live in his head rent-free. If you don't like what he's doing or his channel, don't give him any attention whatsoever.

It's what a lot of people fail to do with e-celebs (and especially e-thots) in general because they thrive on attention either positive or negative, its the attention that sustains them. If you shill for them it encourages them, if you rant about them and have backlashes it just galvanises their fans and makes neutrals ask 'who is that why are people bothered about them?' either way contributing to boosting their profile.

>>15250564
he's obviously trying to piggyback on Herr Fragrance's popularity

>>15250343
why now, it's mostly for late fall/winter

Not him but enjoy getting cucked by the weather desu

and may i just say, i'm not really sure where people are getting the lipstick smell? i smell mostly cocoa with a just the right amount of vanilla. reminds me of chocolate cake for some reason.

Yes normie, your amber heavy designer frag is totally appropriate in this 25 Celsius weather. Thank you for sharing this thick sirupy aroma with us

>>15250780
Another anon but yes. The chemicals they use for these notes are different. I can't describe it, pink pepper is much more bright. Searching the web if you wanna go deep into might help: https://www.cafleurebon.com/cafleurebon-black-and-pink-pepper-in-perfumery-some-like-it-hot-11-of-the-best-pepper-perfumes-draw/

>>15250780
Yes, pink pepper smells like a fish market or unwashed pussy

>>15250660
It’s still good, don’t listen to reformulation spergs trying to lead you on a wild goose chase for vintage bottles. That goes for every frag.

>>15250787
I love you big brown beaver

>>15250660
The new one is fine. Its a classic scent and very cheap. Definitely worth a test although i just blind bought it because it was about £25

>>15250253

Careful; they might prosecute you for that remark.

Why is it that the people who recommend stuff like chypre palatin are always fat neckbeards with fedoras and those who recommend shit like y and sauvage are chads with great jawlines?
Please explain

>>15251308
chads are dumb normies

>>15251308
*citation needed

>>15251308

anyway, both are pretty modern, if you are looking for that style.

>>15251308
Just take the L, fag. You’re embarrassing yourself.

>>15251308
I'm a 6'4 college athlete at my uni and was dousing myself in Chypre Palatin before fucking tinder thoties this winter. Try harder next time bud

Any fans of Musc Ravageur here? I’m intrigued after watching Katie Puckrik’s review. It was far more erotic a review than I anticipated, even for her.

>>15251473
Ha, I haven't seen her review, but yeah, it's good, it's just that there's so many FMs I would buy before that one.

wtf i was using data and the ip got banned, and so i switched back to my wifi and it says im still banned for "ban evasion" now. I didnt make the initial bannable post though.

sotd aqua amara to stand up to the awful heat and humidity of florida right now

"at least you smell amazing while mopping that floor"
said by my boomer employer. it made for a good segway while she was trying to convince me to do more work for her.
one of the reasons i love fragrances

>>15251508
i was wearing kouros 2018. the vintage stuff is too animalic. smells kind of like cardboard.
still a godly fragrance but I prefer to smell good on a budget

>>15251507
SOTD for me is Bright Neroli, but I sprayed Interlude Man 24 hours ago after a shower, sprayed nothing this morning because I could still smell it, had a shower ten minutes ago and can still smell it even though I jut put Bright Neroli on. Madness.

>>15251499
I’ve only tried Portrait of a Lady and I adore it, but something about Musc sounds so unique, whereas PoaL is probably a little redundant since I have Noir de Noir. Not that they’re the same, but functionally similar.

>>15251523
what does interlude man smell like. can you relate it to any other fragrances

>>15251543
candied myrrh

>>15251473
Musc Ravageur is reeaally fucking hot on the right kind of girl. Couple months ago I gifted a small bottle of it for this New Zealend cutie that I was fucking just to smell it on her.

>>15251545
That sounds like Eau Sauvage Parfum 2012

>>15251308
You're close anon you need to go a step further, don't take half the pill take the whole thing

>>15251556
ive never smelled that so i cant say. im also not the guy you initially replied too

>>15251308
collectors and enthusiasts of things are rarely well adjusted.

I randomly ended up managing a hobby store for a while in my early 20's, the people were the salt of the earth but you could see how they were lost in their hobbies. They'd spend unholy amounts of money on models they would never use on the table because it was what their pride was anchored to, they'd blinkered themselves to all of the things they were incompetent at and poured all of their money and energy into the one arena where they were succeeding and where they had pull of some kind. Taking pride in a collection, when the sense of pride is derived from your stature in a community because of the collection is a massive cope

>>15251559
You should try it if you can find it. I'm also not the guy who asked in the first place

>>15251543
Honestly I’m struggling to think of any like it, but that’s more my inexperience than it’s uniqueness. It’s interesting how it can be so loud and long lasting, and yet not cloying. It’s not a thick, heavy fragrance at all, but it’s just dominant. It’s a constant presence, but not offensively so. It’s smoky, it’s opulent, and it just makes smile. It’s probably stronger than Tobacco Vanille or Ultra Male and last longer than both, but they both seem so crass by comparison, and I adore TV.

>>15251555
I feel like I have to sample it now, even if I don’t wear it myself, just to know what it’s like.

>>15251566
nah i hate myrrh im a frankincense chad

>>15251585
I cant wait for my sample of interlude. If its dope ill buy a big boy.

>>15251564
Idk man, I just want to smell fucking good and unique. I treat fragrances as the next step after outfits to manage how people perceive me and what character traits I want to stress

>>15251647
Get it while it’s hot, it’s getting IFRAfucked soon.

>>15251649
How much money have you laid into fragrances, relative to your income

>>15251651
My sample will get here buy Tuesday. Yall better not buy every single bottle out there before then. Fuck

>>15251410
>using up quality juice for trash women

you're more embarrassing than the faggot you replied to.

>>15251668
I'm not even trying and I put away 1500 euros in the bank every month, and that is with some holidays or a trip every other month (not these days, of course). So getting samples for 50 euros/month and then a 100-200 euros frag every 2-3 months doesn't really move the needle at all.

>>15251473
i gotta say, musc ravageur smells too much like givenchy pi for me to justify the price. maybe my nose is fucked but i think it's way overrated.

>>15251686
So you don't particularly care about the hobby or community, and it's not causing you any kind of financial issue

You're the chad bro

>>15251684
Buddy, I wear my them for myself and how they make me feel like, couldn't care less about thoties. For them almost anything smells good anyway lol

>>15251700
>So you don't particularly care about the hobby or community
says who? I'm shitposting here with the rest of you, and even though I buy a lot online, I also try to buy at my local niche shop when the price difference is not that bad.

>>15251668
That's not me >>15251686 but it's more or less the same form me as for this lad. I sample a lot and then only get bottles of things that I consider 10/10. used to have a bigger collection but it just felt weird to have bottles that just gather dust. This being said it's been three weeks and I still didn't get my bottle of Azemour. Fucking frenchies.

SOTD for me is YSL Rive Gauche. Just a perfect frag, it's barbarschopp without being dated and modern without smelling fuccboi-ish.

>>15251719

>>15251712
I know how you feel, bro. I’m still waiting on the two Prissanas I ordered. Looks like they might be here this week at some point, but who fucking knows right now with this ching chong flu fucking with everything? I want my spicy Thai smelly water!

Imagine not falling for the kickstarter meme and then being rewarded with the ultimate 2010s nuclear ambroxan bomb douche frag and making people seethe who think you bought it for $180 when you really spent only $110

>>15251760
>ho think you bought it for $180 when you really spent only $110
Mate, a month after release he had already 2-for-1 type of deals. $110 is really not a good price, especially for this frag. But I get that it is a funny meme collectible item.

>>15251686
speaking of which, I just ordered my Oriza L. Legrand sample set:
>Chypre Mousse
>Foin Fraichement coupe
>Reve d'Ossian
>Vetiver Royal Bourbon
>Heliotrope
>Horizon

>>15251760
M8, it’s a meme frag. The whole point is to have the most meme version possible, ie. the Kickstarter version. If you weren’t autistic enough to cop the OG, I have serious doubts about your dedication to this general.

will i like eau sauvage parfum if i liked the edt version?

>>15247801
This is the kinda nigga where he shows his blowpop smelling fridge to all his friends and when a friend asks him to borrow one he says no

Depends on how much you consider rose a masculine scent. Pear-magnolia does dip it's toe in the bi waters to some perhaps. It's like noir de noir and really like poal, but lighter. Didn't think I would enjoy it this much.
>>15251865

Imagine having Toy Boy, Rochas Man and Le Male inside the wardrobe.

Is VIW too casual a scent to wear to work or to things like dinner dates?

Fuck anons it's finally nice here. Just did my first Philosykos + sunscreen combo of the summer.

Going to go have an evening picnic with the gf

Your old pal ScentScavenger here. Hope you guys are well. Been out of the game for a while but something big came across my desk you guys absolutely need to know. Especially you hookeranon. OG bat is re-released by the OG perfumer on her site. Go to Olympic orchids and search for “night flyer”. That’s the OG shit boys. Sell your bottle and pocket a couple hundred hookeranon and get 100ml of OG bat for like 120 or something along those lines. Apparently the story was she wanted a larger royalty. Victor said no. She said whatever it’s my Fragrance I’m just going to release it on my site with a name change. She makes it incredibly blatant its Bat. It even has a bat on the bottle. Someone put this on the next thread because I won’t be coming back to say it again but definitely get the word out for anyone who wanted to try the OG. Miss you guys. I’m still in self imposed fragrance rehab.

>>15251951
yeah bro they’re gonna press you and ask why in the world you would ever wear VIW instead of invasion barbare to those occasions

>>15251977
Hey, yeah, we know about Night Flyer. I’mma keep my OG Bat bottle, I like the art and presentation and a few hundred bucks does little for me anyway (especially since the sex industry is shut down, so I’ve been saving a lot of money the last few months).

Hope you’re doing well, bro!

>>15251915
It's unbelievable, definitely worth sampling. I'm looking to buy a 100ml bottle soon myself as I'm almost done with my little 30ml boi.
>>15251962
Very snice, enjoy your evening bro.

>>15251977
Good to hear again from you bro. Take it easy man

>>15251951
As much as I love it, yes, it's too casual

>>15251712
I'm still waiting for mine. I emailed them and they said they sent it the day after I ordered and gave me a tracking number with some French delivery company - when I checked on their system the lazy french niggers still had it sitting in port someshere in France despite receiving it on the 8th May

>>15251992
Ah it seemed to be a recent development but I forget how quickly information moves here. I think I’m going to ease back into Fragrance some by summer or fall. I’ve had some viewers from YouTube message my email bummed I’ve vanished. I do feel a little bad but I was bleeding too much money too quickly to keep content moving and that insatiable “just one more bottle”. I check in on slumberhouse some but Josh seems to be doing nothing as usual. Twisted lily appears to be back from closure. Zoologist reformulations and the new koala. Rhino getting reformulated so maybe I made a mistake losing that one in my purge. Apparently a new “arctic” animal is getting released but idk what the Arctic even smells like besides salt, fish, and blood. Savage place. Victor and everyone is sleeping on the potential for “ant” polarizing gourmand with picnic food notes, sweet and savory. Soil and green notes. It could be like a more edible candy bat.

>>15252020
Hope you are well too

Luckyscent, ship my bottle of Sloth already.. REEEEEE

>>15252145
I actually find Zootopian’s official site’s shipping is a lot faster. I got my bottle in 2 days.

>>15252097
Yeah, I wonder if Paul Kiler would do the same re-release under his brand that Ellen did with Bat. Luckily none of the three scents on the chopping block were favorites of mine.

I'm definitely looking forward to an Arctic scent just because it sounds hard and potentially weird. Maybe something like Soleil Neige but with musky or ambergris funkiness. Hell if they make a predator like Polar Bear or Orca they could throw some rose oxide in there ala T. Rex.

How are you faring during this whole global pandemic shit?

>>15252150
I know but luckyscent offers free shipping. I guess that's what I get for saving 11 dollars.
What did you get from zootopian?

>>15252097
Yeah, if it was causing you financial issues, it’s good to step away for a bit, reevaluate why you’re doing things. Doing things you enjoy is great, but letting them take over your life is bad. Hope you can find that balance, it’d be nice to have you back.

Zootopian is doing something interesting things. I copped Sloth, love it. Not sure about Koala, I don’t love eucalyptus, and it kinda seems like it might smell like cough drops. I’ll sample it, though. Rhino wasn’t my favorite, and I actually tried it again a few days ago and it’s still not for me. Ant would be cool. The arctic animal scent sounds cool. What do you think? Orca? Walrus? Polar Bear? Penguin? Wolf? Moose? Lots of interesting choices. Guess we’ll see what they come up with.

>>15252155
Sloth. It’s one of the best cozy scents in years.

>>15251783
You might, don't buy blind though

>>15252179
Cat: powdery notes, caviar, milk and toxoplasmosis

SOTD: Edition Blanche. Just finished my 5ml decant. Would buy a bottle but I'm not a fan of the vetiver+lemon drydown. It's like a poor attempt at Eau Sauvage Parfum. The first 3 hours of vanilla+lemon are gorgeou though. You vanilla fans should check it out. What are you wearing lads?

>>15252185
Yeah and it just smells so good. When I finished my sample I started to miss the scent, so I went for the 60 mils

Is calling Zoologist Zootopian a meme or something?

>>15252179
>>15252097

Agreed. Glad you made a change before things got too bad, scentscav. Last night I was thinking of setting a formal limit for my purchases. No more than $400 per year for now (I'm a poorfag grad student) and a strict one-in one-out policy once I hit 10 bottles.

>>15252252

Aqua Quorum. Received it today. It's fine, fresh and aquatic. Honestly, these time of scents aren't very inspiring to me. It's good though, reminds me of something I can't pinpoint...

>>15252298
I normally hate cumin, it smells like BO on my skin, and Sloth has a fair bit of it, so you’d think it wouldn’t be for me, but it just works. The Açai is so unusual, but it with the cumin, those weird mushroom notes, and the cozy, spicy notes just blend so well. It’s sort of like a sleepytime spiced oriental-fougere. Such a strange scent, but so addictive.

I love my sleepy boi!

What do you all think about this one? About to blind buy--really new to the fragrance world

>>15252389
>>15252385
Always sample. Even if cost isn't a factor, do you really want a whole bottle laying around of something you end up hating?

>>15252419
This. I mean, yeah it ducks when you get something you wind up hating, but what about the opposite? Nothing feels better than buying fully blind and finding your personal GOAT frag. It’s like winning the lottery! What a thrill!

what do you guys think of the etat libre d'orange discovery set? im thinking of getting that plus zoologist sloth sample, imaginary authors cape heartache, 4160 tuesdays ealing green and something from nasomatto, im thinking black afgano. its all $85 aud but whatever

>>15252473
Bright neroli is probably the closest I've had to this experience. Pure lavender was pretty good too

>>15252484
I bought the set, and I wasn't impressed. ELDO frags all have the same problem for me, which is that they have a unique, conceptual opening, but completely fall apart in the drydown. Basically, the scents don't develop, but just fade after a couple hours. Maybe still worth sampling just to take in the concepts they create, but none were bottle-worthy for me.

>>15252333
>reminds me of something I can't pinpoint.

>>15252494

>>15252572

Fixed for you

>>15252484
Good stuff overall but I'd rather limit myself to some samples of ELDO and not sample literally everything. Fat Electrician, Rien, Herman, Remarkable People, Secretions Magnifique are all worth trying.

My old post
>All I tried are as follows as far as I can recall. I'm just giving a subjective rating for how appropriate I found it for myself, so let me know if you want me to expand on any of these as all of them are excellent quality but sometimes just don't vibe with me well (e.g. I find their gourmands quite feminine).

>Acqua Viva
8/10
>Ambra Aurea
I was expecting an animalic monstrous ambegris bomb that will not be wearable but to my nose it's quite different than that. What I get is smooth ambery leather (ambery as in amber not ambergris). I can also get incense that together with amber gives it a bit of sweet edge and some smooth labdanum with its more powdery-leathery facets. On the way to the drawdown you can get some saltiness that suggests that there might be some abergris here too. It became my favorite amber fragrance and I'll have a hard time picking between it and Tauer LDDM. 10/10

6/10 (idk if I really like it or hate it, tonka+vetiver is so weird)
>Dambrosia
6/10 (Heavy on figs but a bit too baroque-ish. There's too much happening here and I'm actually surprised that it's a Profumum Roma's fragrance.)
>Dulcis in Fundo
7/10 (best vanilla in the game with nuclear performance but a bit too fem if not layered with anything)
>Ichnusa

>Olibanum

>Orangea
9/10 (this would be 10/10 if not the unusually poor performance for PR)
>Patchouly
3/10 (I like dark stuff but it's just too much for me. This brings the darkest, most earthy and complex aspects of patchouli that one typically knows only from its sweet (often complementing rose) facets. Probably the second most gothic Profumum Roma after Arso.)
>Rosae Mundi
8/10 (the one rose+patch to rule them all)
>Sorriso
6/10 (too fem but great choc)

any other ausbros in this thread? just want to ask if mecca lets you buy samples or not. i would pop into one but ceebs with the way things are.
>>15252572
is it that bad? i just hear its very divisive. also HOOOOOOOHHH likes it and i'm really getting into those dudes. I would get hommage a l'homme instead but its out of stock.
>>15252609
yeah but that site charges $15 for an ELDO sample but the discovery set is $45 so yeah, may as well get the whole thing. i wanted rien and fat electrician and its not worth it for just two.

After extensive testing, I have come to the conclusion that Chance is an inferior version of Coco Noir.

>>15252697
B-but... for me, it’s C-Chance by Chanel! *sobs*

>>15247751
fragrancex isn't listed in the op, are they reliable?
