Thoughts?

The corrected version of the flowchart

Sorry for the typo in the thread's name

>>15581471
Teenager/Early 20's club core. There's literally zero other use for this fragrance.

Do you prefer Luna Rossa, LR sport, LR black, or LR carbon?

>>15581549
They're all amazing to me, a lot of people downplay the LR range but it's one of my favourite lines out there.

LR Black is by FAR my favourite. I get ridiculous amounts of compliments from all types of people with this one, I get complimented all the time by strangers so it's easy for me to work out what's popular and what isn't. It's really unique and extremely versatile too, although definitely a fall/winter/early spring (mostly nighttime) fragrance for me. You know those scenes of New York or some other bustling major city at night with the lights and stuff? That's what this fragrance makes me feel.

LR Sport is basically ultra male, slightly less fruity and more soapy. If you're going for cuddly vibes, wear this one.

LR for me personally is the most boring. If you want something that is pure barbershop vibes go for Prada Amber Pour Homme. Nonetheless very clean and elegant, albeit slightly boring for me.

LR Carbon is a fantastic fragrance, although a tad redundant with Sauvage out there of course.

This is underrated

what cologne should i wear if i have sex with men exclusively?

>>15581589
ultra male

it's literally me except with NR for him

>>15581589
Chanel Antaeus, YSL Kouros, anything Tom Ford

>>15581560
thanks
was deciding between Carbon and Black because I liked the mineral-feel of carbon but ill have to smell it with sauvage in mind

Well, had one of my regular girls over today. Decided to try out my new Overture. She literally HOOOOOH’d over it. She was going to blow me, started kissing down my body, then got to my belly (I always put a spray on my belly if I’m getting blown), and she actually stopped and started huffing it. This girl is not really into frags, she’s pretty nor is, and she LOVED Overture. She wanted to see the bottle so she could get it for herself,

So there you go, coomers. Turns out girls actually do enjoy niche frags too.

>>15581560
>If you want something that is pure barbershop vibes go for Prada Amber Pour Homme
wat

>>15581730
it smells like soap. the end.

>>15581561
No, it isnt. It is just another designer sweet-cinammony-woody fragrance. They all blend into one another after you know most of them.

>>15581732
That I agree, but the definition of "barbershop" is usually a green-woody top with a smokey-bitter bottom, often with oakmoss and lavender notes. Shit like platinum egoiste, Azzaro pour homme, Rive Gauche, Beau de Jour and the likes. Basically old styled aromatic fougeres. Prada Amber pour homme is just some sort of weird ambery floral.

Does anyone else not like tonka bean? It's a pleasant smell but I just don't want to smell like it. I can't think of a single perfume I own that has tonka as one of the top 5 notes.

>>15581560
Black is amazing, practically an improved version of sport, gets me positive reactions every time i wear it

Which would /frag/ recommend, mugler pure malt or pure havane?

How much do you guys spend on this stuff every month? I think I have been spending way too much

>>15581822
Both are pretty solid. I think Pure Malt is more interesting, personally. There are tons of other good tobacco scents, but not a huge number of good whiskey/malt scents.

>>15581862
Probably an average of €30. I either buy cheapos or only buy every few months. Sometimes cheapos every few months.

>>15581862
Probably like 50-70€, but I basically only buy samples and decants. Every now and then I buy a bottle if I really love something and have already gone through a decant

>>15581560
I'm getting SPORT because I'm a 1 frag, people pleaser.

>>15581942
I was like that but I got to a point that I would no longer have any space left for more decants in no time if I hadn’t stopped buying them. I still buy bottles sporadically because they make me feel special, and self realization is 50% of why people buy fragrances. I do abuse the shit of sephoras and niche boutiques when I can, though.

STOP FUCKING CREATING NEW THREADS EVERY 5 mins! They haven’t reached limit most of em

>>15581718
>Overture Man conjures a tale of a gentleman, poised for an elegant evening at the opera dressed in a dinner jacket accented by a moiré silk cummerbund and bow tie. He takes his seat in the audience of the opera house with great poise and eagerly waits for the performance to begin, but before the orchestra finishes the overture, a mysterious stranger gently taps his shoulder. He rises from his seat and disappears into the darkness with nothing left of him but his bow tie and lingering scent, a heady reminder of the exhilarating moment the velvet curtains draw open.

Imagine wearing this unironically when not dressed up and going to a black tie event.

>>15582004
The fuck you on about, m8? There’s only one other thread and it’s at the bump limit.

>>15582060
Have you smelled it?

what's are the exit-tier fragrances?

also snice.

>>15582060
Imagine going to a "black tie event". You fucking faggot. I can't think of many things I'd dislike more. You're as bad as the retards who say "Crisp white shirt is required for this frag : )".

got encore noire lextreme. smells like the original + patchouli, woodier denser vetiver, bitter, natural benzoin dry down.

>>15582073
1 Million. Because when you wear it, people will ask you to exit their establishments.

>>15582071
>His Highness Sayyid Hamad bin Hamoud al bu Said had a dream to restore the great Arabian art of perfumery to the region.
Amouage is a luxury perfume house established in Oman in 1983 by the Sultan of Oman. Amouage uses traditional for the Middle East perfume ingredients such as agarwood, incense, musk, rose and spices.
No thanks, I don't support Arabs and the Middle East.

Owners of Pure Havane and Naxos, can you tell me where Naxos excels? Is it endgame viable for my only night event fragrance?

>>15582086
At one point I was in love with a sample of Naxos but the further I went through it the more I realized that it's a synthetic monstrosity.

>>15582085
Ah, you’re the shitposter. Cool. Thanks for letting me know not to bother responding any further.

k so my decant for LDDM came today and its not overhyped. also smelled profumo and i liked it but I wish the incense note was stronger. also fucking fragrantica, having that many votes for incense as the main note, come on man.
>>15581775
same. i find it overly thick and cloying. vanilla too for me.
>>15581805
i gotta smell black though I remember smelling normal luna rossa and carbon and thinking they were the most boring things ever.

>>15581775
You should try non-sweet tonka frags. Get a sample of Cargo de Nuit

>>15582086
It doesn't excel at anything compared to Pure Havane imho. But I don't like any of them so take it with a grain of salt

>>15581718
From my experience, they almost always prefer masspleasing frags (either shower gel, or vanilla heavy)
But it always feels good to find some girl who enjoys my faggy niche frags
Recently i got a compliment wearing amouage gold, which was a nice surprise.
But yeah, from the frags i own, the most positive comments i got were for Widian New York, which is definetely my most easy to like frag

>>15582359
This girl is pretty normie (autocorrect went nor is in the last post), but she’s a cool chick. She actually wants to go frag shopping with me once covid is done to help her find a signature scent. I’ve worn a bunch of different niche frags with her, usually I don’t get much of a response other than “you smell good!”, but every now and then, she’ll really love one.

She actually doesn’t like vanilla frags. She says they smell too girly to her. She also said she hates Pink Sugar. She said she actually tends to like woody, spicier scents better. Maybe why she loved Overture so much.

I've finished couple more samples from my lulua.pl order.
>Keronese Follow
Smells exactly like roasted grain coffee that my grandma was serving to me and my sister when we were visiting here as kids. It's also too sweet for me. Yet another unconvincing take on the coffee note (the bummer is that it's supposed to be similar to Carthusia's Terra Mia that I wanted to test badly but perhaps now it's pointless). Why is it so hard to make a good coffee perfume? Lasts for around 6h.
>The Different Company Sel de Vetiver
Vetiver + Salt. It starts quite sharp with a nutty vetiver and becomes more tamed with some fruity-floral aspects coming out after 3h+.
>Geo F Trumper Eucris
It's really mossy but, surprisingly for a formula from 1912, not in a dated way. However, it's definitely on the mature side of fragrances. Black currant with caraway gives it some personality and white florals smoothen the formula out.

My sample of Polo arrived because fuck paying for parking or getting the bus.
I really like it, it's mature but something I feel I can pull off, especially as I slowly go bald.
I get the feeling I may get a bottle of it.

is it worth it? i don't even know what it smells like. should i spend half of my monthly salary on it?

>>15582792

>>15582845
i smelled it when i was first getting into perfumes and my noselet nose couldnt comprehend it. but yeah you really shouldn't blind buy it. no decants of it around? i got me a 5ml decant of noir de noir today.

>>15582927
I've got some hair still, I won't be that bald but just kind of like a monk hair style when I'm 50 like my dad.
Kind of wish I'd have Dracula hair when it's combed back since my widow's peak would suit it

>>15582060
Imagine falling for marketing scripts

>>15582845
It’s absolutely not a blind buy. It’s also not worth the price. One thing I would say is that it deserves to be more expensive than other Private Blends (but not all) but it’s too expensive.

>>15582085
I don’t feel like defending Arabs, but I would like to point out that omanis are ibadis, a Islamic sect far away from the fundamentalism that makes people averse to sunni Islam and it does not have the political antagonism that shia nations have. They also don’t tend to invade western countries, historically they just chilled on their mountainous desert, did trade and got genocided out of zanzibar.

>>15581466

I have been behind this fragrance for a long time and I confess that I was terrified of trying it fearing it would not live up to expectations; So much so that, after receiving it, it had been on the desk for two days and I had not dared to open it.

I declare myself a stalwart of Roja Dove. Her genius this time has been to create a fruity-floral-spicy wonder of such a level that it is impossible not to smell your wrist over and over again. The components are no longer that they harmonize deliciously, it is that they are not of this world. The mastery with which Roja wraps one note with another after another is overwhelming and all together seem to fit together in such a way that they do not seem like an artificial creation, he is a masterful craftsman before whom we can only surrender in admiration.

This unclassifiable rarity (Parfum Cologne?) Opens with the freshness provided by lime and grapefruit accompanied by spices, with an exceptional vetiver as well as currants and juicy apples, which dance around other fresh-green and floral notes that hint at each other, without one standing out more than the other.

During drying, leather and wood are appreciated by the hand of ambergris, which give it a sensual and animalic touch of such depth, elegance and beauty, that qualifying adjectives fall short of me.

For the office, for a date, for a hidden camera in any queue of people and to do a sociological study on the power of an aroma, to turn a gañán into a prince with three sprays, to put on before going to sleep and perceive it every time you roll over in bed and it comforts your soul ... if you want people around you to defy the laws of gravity and lean towards you to smell you at an impossible angle, look no further, this it is a winning horse.

do I trust an ebay seller that sells frags without the box

No.

Always try to buy the Fragance in the official store or at least verifiy if the dealer is the brand

What's the best John Varvatos fragrance? I remember there being one with a Plum note but I can't seem to find it.

>>15583943
The only one I know is “John Varvatos” for women.

Aaaaaargh, I unironically spent over €5k on my 100+ bottle collection over the last year and I STILL don't have a gf

ELDO could have potential,but I’ve not tried enough. I’m a big fan of what I’ve tried from Strangers Parfumerie, although I find many unwearable I’ve loved every second of the samples I’ve tried in terms of creativity.

>>15584719
Yup. Who needs to have even a rough idea of what frags smell like? Real frag CHADS buy completely blind. No note lists, it’s all bullshit anyway. The alpha move is to just buy whichever bottle you think looks coolest, or to just close your eyes and randomly add frags to your cart.

Synthetic doesn’t automatically mean bad. B9 has some excellent offerings like new haarlem, bleecker st, and new york oud. Every fragrance uses synthetics tard.

>>15585018
There's a difference between using synthetics, which we all know all houses do, and smelling synthetic, which is what Bond n9 does

I have this strong melancholic reaction to Aventus, and I don't know why. To me, the drydown smells like wearing something citrusy to a rainy burial, and the graveyard has mossy tombstones

>>15584958
Love how triggered and bothered you are

>>15585033
I don’t give a fuck, Bleecker st smells fantastic and gives me more good feels than most of the frags you incels circlejerk over on this board.

Encre noire just smells like pencil shavings
Bigmeme and way too expensive

I bought samples from lucky scent and I liked #2 man, I am trash, Remarkable People and Incense Kyoto. Do you guys have any suggestions or recommendations for me to try?

Just got in both MB Explorer and Creed Aventus this week for my collection.

Why do people call Explorer a clone when both the opening and even the dry down are different from each other?

It's quite obvious when sprayed on each of my arms that Aventus has a much fruitier opening than Explorer, which is different than the more woodsy open of Explorer.

Is this just a cope for people to justify not buying the more expensive shit?

Both good scents, but not identical.

So I'm not that into the fragrance game, nor am I really trying to because I don't have the time or money to invest in the hobby. However, I am looking for something to give my outfits that extra push when I need to step things up a little.

Since this is the case, I've generally settled on designer fragrances as I'm really just trying to please others with a scent that I can like too.

Considering these things, I'm down to ysl La Nuit de l'Homme, and Bleu de Chanel. I know it's not your vibe, but does anyone have experience with these fragrances? Recommendations maybe?

>>15585329
La Nuit unfortunately has been reformulated multiple times to the point that its performance is just awful and the scent is a shadow of its former self. BDC is pretty basic, but it’s snice, classy, and versatile. It’s not gonna stand out too much, but no one will dislike it either. I think BDC is the perfect pick for someone who’s not into fragrances and just wants something to wear for whatever occasion, personally. I like the EDP version myself, but they’re not really that different.

>>15585245
Encre Noire is 25 bucks for a 100ml bottle

im going through a sample of mb emblem and im wearing it often and really enjoying but i dont want a bottle for some reason. meanwhile my sample of toyboy i enjoy as much but never wear and i want a whole bottle of it for some reason?
>>15585273
probs the rest of the cdg lineup. I've tried them in store they've got their own woodsy minimalistic dna so if you liked 2 man try wonderwood and wonderoud and if you liked kyoto try zagorsk and the rest of that line. theres something about CdGs that i really like desu, i think the simplicity of them? anyway i talk about incense a lot but havent been here in a while. ummm heeley cardinal is another good incense. this is him! is a vanilla incense. timbuktu is a fruity incense and passage d'enfer is musky with a bit of incense. thats all i can remember for now. cant say much about the ELDOs i havent gotten the chance to put my nose on them yet.
>>15585300
cause aventus started that dna? a dna that i don't enjoy but isnt it usually the case that every frag after the original with that dna is called a clone.

Rocking Y... How bad am I doing, boys?

>>15585525
its unpopular but i gotta be real, i dunno why, its just a generic fruity thing but so are a lot of things so i dont get why Y is specifically hated.

>>15585526
Idk man, I kinda like it. Discreet too, but I liked layton, so I must be a big time noselet

>>15585534
yeah lookit don't pay too much attention to this thread, its incredibly niche and esoteric. i like a lot of niche stuff but dont have anything full bottle cause like its so meme arthouse, i just cant envision myself wearing a lot of them.

>>15582845
there's an arab clone of this i tried before that's actually quite nice. forgot the name though, but get that instead, very close.

What are some frags I can wear for 'cultural appropriation' that will piss people off?

>>15585734
Hmmmm, maybe Layton or Eros for appropriating the gay culture?

How could LT gave it 5 stars? It is just not beautiful, pleasant at best. A pine box coffin odor.

>>15585853
I totally understand why LT gave it 5/5 stars. This is what I wanted Creed Viking to smell like. It smells expensive from the first sniff. It's woodsy, spicy and refreshing. Very, very well balanced fragrance. It's really safe on one hand and very sophisticated and unique on the other. Frankly it's so occasion- and weather-versatile that if I just wannted one power fragrance and don't bother with anything else this might be it. I'm looking to cop a bottle soon.

What is this beginner shit, this is what a perfect fragrance looks like

Anons, I don't want to turn /frag/ into a pity party or a personal blog but as it stands with my job possibly being on hold again after 6 weeks because of corona I'm just very down and worried.
I'm worried over money a bit despite having a safe little nest egg for a rainy day that I never dip below unless its an emergency.
I'm just wary of buying more samples, not being able to wear them because my family may not like the smell or wasting money on a bottle I don't get through.
I just woke up really depressed and scared,because of stuff in my childhood like abuse and bullying, the ever growing dread that I'll never find a wife (or even fully be able to admit to my family I'm confused over my sexuality because of aforementioned abuse)
All this smelly water, fashion, it does nothing...

>>15585966
stop buying fucking samples and use your money for more important shit. frags are luxuries and should be treated as such

and get professional help. i've lost two friends to depression in the past 2 years and its not fun for everyone involved

>>15585966
You're supposed to spend so much money on vintages that the anxiety of going broke and not being able to eat outweighs all the other problems in your life. Get with the program.

>>15585966

>>15585329
Depends on your outfits. La Nuit and BDC are different vibes. Fragrances are like an accessory that you wear that harmonizes, or clashes with your outfit. No hard and fast rule on the right way to pair fragrances and outfit. I personally prefer a more harmonized approach.

>>15585966
I predict you will kill yourself within 5 years

>>15585894
Sorry to tell you this but you're either a noselet or got a faked sample my friend. Most likely though trying to be edgy and contrarian because of some imaginary beef with Turin.

Who else here /body odor/? When I was younger my shit used to smell just like regular sweat and even a little bit sweet like a baby's breath but after I turned about 29 I started to smell like an old goat and now at 32 I smell like straight up rat piss. I fucking drown myself in old school frags just not to smell myself.

Listen hear you fucking weasel. Chanel and Dior always have been the top 2 designers in the game. Recently Dior went down the shitter and there's no two ways about it. Chanel still produce the scents themselves, they are independent, unlike Dior which is owned by LVMH.

Their quality is the BEST at the moment when it comes to designers and put even other niche brands to shame. I've been worried about my Platinum Egoiste because weasels like you said that recent formulations don't perform. My PE batch is from April 2020 and performs better than 99% of designers and as an example, it puts to shame Dior Sauvage Parfume, Y EDP and all the recent powerhouses.

Further like, my AHS and Edition Blanche that I got in 2014 are nuclear bombs. Chanel's recent formulation of Egoiste is beast mode on MY skin. If it doesn't work out on your skin, it doesn't mean it's the same case for everyone.

Yeah, fragrance is not my thing... says the guy that loves Dylan Blue aka shower gel shite for teenagers, twat !

I’m a huge fan of some Tom Ford fragrances and I generally enjoy everything I put my nose to... until about two years ago when they started doing this kind of thing. Fucking Fabulous marked something of a descent for me.

When you consider the importance of things like Tuscan Leather, Oud Wood, Neroli Portofino, Black Orchid and even M7 if we go back further, to think we now have things like Lost Cherry, Bitter Peach and Rose Prick it seems like such a drop in quality, and that’s without going in to the neutering of the original Private Blends.

It seemed to be a line that stood for opulence, elegance, classiness and a hint of exclusivity. Now it’s just about telling people you’re wearing “Fucking Fabulous”. I know Tom Ford has always been provocative but I felt the Private Blend was a different side to him, one I found more appealing. It’s getting to a point where the Signature line is more interesting than the Private Blend.

>>15586691
FF is one of his best pleb

Are there any fragrances with a maritime pine note?

>>15586698
I probably should have elaborated. I agree, it is, but in terms of branding I meant. There’s no way something like Lost Cherry deserves to be so expensive and I doubt they would have charged that much had FF not been released at the price it is. At least FF deserves it to some extent.

vetiver + vanilla?

>>15586797
Care to elaborate?

Just blind ordered Bentley For Men Absolute, a £25 bargain on Amazon. What am I in for? Is it really just a cheaper alternative to CdG2 Man?

Fahrenheit 32. It is an acquired taste and discontinued due to poor sells. It is for androgynous men into the whole Hedi Slimane look in the mid-00s.

He will literally post like 10 times in a row arguing with himself, or just randomly post nonsense that has absolutely nothing to do with the thread’s topic (possibly drunk posting?). He’s also well known on other sites for being crazy/a degenerate. Dude has legit mental illness issues. Do not engage him. Nothing good will come of it.

>New information coming out from Creed Sales Associate. After the sale of Creed to Blackrock these are some of the changes already instituted. No longer are Creed Associates to tell the made up backstory being fragrances. Examples being how Bois du Portugal was the scent of the Rat Pack or alternatively Frank Sinatra, Tabarome being the scent of Winston Churchhill, those are the only two I know off hand but you get the point. Another is their Acqua Originale line is getting four new fragrances added, along with a remake of the bottles. Apparently the bottles are going to be much more colorful with color gradient. These changes themselves aren't significant to the mainline, but with the recent dumping of certain Creed scents on he grey market, along with the fact it seems that Creed is looking to get a facelift I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years Creed looks way different.

BUY CREED

>>15585520
I'll try those out. Thanks, anon-kun.

Why didn't you guys tell me that this brand made such great perfumes?

Am I a noselet or is Absolute Aphrodisiac better than Musc Ravageur? I know they're not that similar but they're both slightly animalic sexy vanilla perfumes.

>>15587381
>>15587513
Igor, you’re so poor, you couldn’t afford to live rent-free. Also, your Aventus is fake.

>>15587742
>your Aventus is fake
Doubt, he paid $400 CAD for it
https://www.reddit.com/r/fragrance/comments/iv89iu/creed_aventus_a4219s41_legit_or_fake/

Absolutely fucking pathetic. You might as well just admit you can’t think of anything to say. If you can’t hang, don’t start shit.

>>15587753
Igor, I’mma level with you: it doesn’t matter if your Aventus is real or fake. What matters is that someone said it was fake and you got so assblasted that you whinged and shitposter about it for MONTHS like a little faggot and still periodically bring it up. You’re such an insecure little bitch boy that you even ran to reddit to try to get them to validate your purchase.

Now THAT’S rent fucking free, dumb-dumb.

>>15587753

We know it’s you, brainlet. You’re literally the only one here who thinks it isn’t fake.

I’ll bet you will. Maybe you’d be more comfortable over there full time. Seems more your speed. Reddit is full of bald, middle aged homosexuals.

Go away, GORsWIPE.

>>15587783

>>15587788
You know what's rent free? Being manipulated to post about someone that occupies space in your head. Precious space that can be used for more important things in your life, but instead you allow me to be a part of it. I can't complain at all.

>>15587898
>complains, whinges, and shitposts for months
>spends hours taking screenshots, posting on other sites
>shows up and starts acting like a dipshit, gets called out for said dipshittery
>r-rent free!
That’s literally the only play you have, isn’t it dumb-dumb? You spend months obsessively seething because some dude here said your Aventus was fake, but you’re the one living rent-free? You’re fucking fooling yourself, m8.

Now go away, GORsWIPE.

>>15587898
You’re too dumb to manipulate anyone, you microcephalic lummox. You’re basically Lennie from Of Mice and Men, but less self aware. You literally have a sub-80 IQ. If you were born 60 or 70 years ago, you’d have been a ward of the state and they’d have stuck you in a home for idiots and you’d never have seen the light of day again. We pick on you because it’s funny and because you’re obnoxious and shit up our threads, not because we think about you. Literally no one ever brings you up unless you initiate it. You’re literally too stupid to understand this distinction.

What would /frag/ recommend for a good masculine autumn scent that's not too expensive?

>>15587977
Depends on what you like. That’s really way too vague of a question. It’s like asking “what shirt do you guys recommend for fall?”. Give us a little more info. Do you like spicy scents? Woody scents? Leather scents? Tobacco? Vanilla? Something more fresh? What sort of vibe are you going for?

>>15587980
Probably more woody or leathery, maybe something boozy. Vanilla is too feminine.
I'm really open to any suggestions. I already have burberry london and bentley absolute edp, but I'm still looking for something as a signature autumn scent

Name a better winter scent.
You can't.

>>15586691
> until about two years ago
> considering M7
It’s Estee Lauder from 2005 not TF, stop thinking crabwise, will you. M7 was eons ago, what part Tom Ford takes in the creation of new perfumes - nobody knows that for sure, probably none whatsoever, I bet he’s participating only in some marketing exercises.

>>15588103
Ok Gramma, time to change your depends

>>15586576
It’s not very piney. Smells vaguely like pine framing, like an unfinished job a person without a college degree would do.

>DH2020
That is an interesting comparison. I do not find OM beautiful thus it is boring for me. As for DH2020, I would compare it to a BMW 5 series since it has the same performance: masculine, you get noticed, some people would assume you’re an asshole. Is it boring? Well, it is not Ferrary but I drive it anyway.

I posted in a previous thread about how Frederic Malle fucked up my order. Long story short, I got a free bottle of POAL and the Male Discovery Set. Also a sample of Promise. Today is definitely my day.

Best frag for a computer hacker?

>>15589148
Since I got a free bottle I’m almost tempted to buy another fragrance from them now. I’d like to sample En Passant because it sounds so interesting and I barely have anything by female perfumers. Also I think “Olivia Giacobetti” is a really pretty name.

So based on the picture, you're going for more low-key hacker like Mr. Robot. Nothing sweet in it, and it should not be "fancy". It should have a straightforward structure to it, because you're a hacker not a faggot. Faggots in this thread ooohhh and ahhhh about naturals and transitions of their fragrance. As a hacker you want to be elusive. People can detect something, but can't really put their finger on it.

The only choice would be something like Molecule 01 or Odeur 53.

>>15587637
I do enjoy Zaras Unexpected Spicy quite alot as well!

>>15587898
>>15587945
>>15587953

Stop replying and giving him attention

>>15588636
Why are you resisting Molecule 01. Are you secretly a faggot and not a hacker? I thought hackers deal with 1s and 0s. Maybe you're just a faggot LARPing as a hacker.

>>15588636
*sniff* *sniff* Is that the mysterious and elusive smell of Odeur 53 I smell? Oh never mind, I just see another faggot who is repressing his homosexual faggot tendencies. Stop LARPing as a hacker and just start sucking dick and wearing perfume like the rest of the fucks here.

McQueen is one of my fav designers and one day I want to be able to wear a full fit of his stuff.
What frags would match this?

>>15589594
Post some pics of what you like, it would help refine the choices better

What fragrance goes with this mood?
picrel

>>15589744
Aventus without a doubt. Perfectly captures how you want the "best" in life, and you care about your appearance.

>>15582845
It smells like mouth wash at an expensive hotel. Don't buy

>>15589766

Should I cop anons? I already have Noir Extreme and YSL Y as daily frags

Pajeet-tier and even hookers don’t want to fuck you when you’re wearing it.

>>15590039
It has to be from some gaudy brand. Unless he's a down-to-earth substance over fluff, he will be rocking brands that is elite and CEO-like. Tom Ford is an easy brand to see him wearing, or some middle eastern shit like Amouage.

Versace eros parfum or viktor rolf spice bomb night vision edp?

>>15590215
trust your own nose you faggot

Intense cafe is my favorite frag. What else should I try? Fragrantica says roses vanille is similar

>>15590215
Eros personally.

What's an evil fragrance? I wanna smell like a Bond villain.

>>15590274
Le Chiffre is French, so it should be a French brand. Aside from his nationality, there is a quiet elegance to him. He isn't trying to be some "CEO" who wears Amouage or other middle eastern crap. Le Chiffre also has an austere personality and nothing flamboyant makes sense. He would wear Chanel's Platinum Egoiste.

However, I can imagine that other scents would suit him too as long as there is some element of freshness, bitterness, not too sweet, anchored on some woods to give off an impression of rigidity, stability and strength.

>>15590294

I could have sworn Judy Dench had a line saying he was French Algerian but the wiki page says he's Albanian

>>15590341

I'm not going to hate on Egoiste, but to think it would be a better match for Le Chiffre clearly exposes how you don't know how to match fragrances with style/personality of the wearer. I applaud those who like to wear whatever they want, but it is unsightly in my eyes. You could wear whatever you want, but there should be some thought put into whether or not the fragrances harmonizes with you or not. The fashion equivalent is corny cosplayers. They are living their best life, but they look like a joke.

is there any boss nigga scent like Armani Code but niche? i used to like Code in high school but it's dated now

She (I think she?) also swears that Chypre Palatin has been reformulated but the brand's director swears it hasn't. The color is clearly different but I feel like the director is telling the truth. Dunno about the color change, maybe one of the ingredients couldn't be sourced to be quite as pure so it leached out into the color. I don't know, all I do know is that my bottle is new and great
