>Brunette, back right
What’s her @?

>>15706502
> inspired by Slavic folklore, it’s supposed to smell like riding a sleigh through an icy Russian forest in winter
All you can smell in the sleigh is a horse butt. Trees don’t smell then temperature drops to minus 20 degrees Celsius.
>t. sleigh rider from Russia

>>15706684
It’s ENCHANTED forest. They’re magic trees, duh!

It's been a while since the last one I posted but I'm back with a rotationanon/casinoanon Autumn/Winter 2020-21 rotation.

A couple of new things added, some old ones brought back and a few gone but it's been a hard year to really stay interested with the relative lack of any decent new releases, the inability to try new releases without buying samples or have the chance to wear anything but around the house frags most of the time.

>>15706597

To most people perfumes are just something to smell nice to attract the opposite sex so even though I'm happy to talk about it, know your audience. If people ask I'm happy to elaborate, but randomly throwing out that I own multiple bottles might confuse many people.

>>15706684
Based sleighpilled

>>15706755
Very nice
What's the blue Armani like?
Totally agree with 2nd paragraph

>>15706695
> enchanted
We are fucking orthodox christians for more than a thousand years, such shit no longer exist here. Even still, a horse butt would stink.

>>15706755
Have you tried the new Amouages, m8? Overture might be their best release to date and Meander is very snice. Enclave is forgettable though, in my opinion.

Amber imperial is really nice.

The best scent for gilf hunting?

>>15706774

Really good, it's not that original but it's so smooth and well blended that it really surprised me. I originally got it as a throwaway sample and just kept on wearing it and re-sampled the brought a full bottle. It's in a similar territory to Spicebomb Extreme and Layton but much smoother and more well blended but still with a spicy kick that isn't loud or screechy like SBX can be to some people. Doesn't project that much after an hour but lasts well.

>>15706810

I've got Meander on order and tried Overture back in the summer. Didn't really think that much of it though which surprised me because on paper that looked like something I'd really like because I love resinous incense and cognac.

man musc ravageur is still one of the cozyest things.. laying in bed reading with it on is great

Giving Reflection man another whirl tomorrow but I don't see how it justifies the pricetag over Le Male upon first wear.

>>15706636
Well brehs? How is it

>>15706899
Cologne flanker is quite snice

>>15706871
Yes, I always love to do something around a house with a snice comfy scent on me. Couple sprays of Chypre Palatin and everything feels so much better even house chores

>>15706871
>>15706920
For me Dior Homme Intense fits that description.

I recently sampled Bengale Rouge and I feel that could do the same, although it’s a bit expensive to just throw on, but as a treat it would be amazing.

>>15706899
There is an extreme version out there. It is drier/less sweet supposedly. EDP is slightly sophisticated and overall a very pleasant perfume. Nothing groundbreaking though.

>>15706948
agreed anon, I own a bottle of bengale rouge and it is a bit too special to put on for home cozyness but i do it anyway sometimes

>>15706974
I’m hoping to get her entire sample set for Christmas but if anything is better than that it’s going to be absolutely incredible. I could easily buy a bottle of it now without hesitating but I want to try everything first.

>got all excited because my Jacques Fath sample set got posted from France
>it's sent with Colissimo
Great, I hope I will at least get it before 2021. Last time I ordered a bottle of Azemour Les Orangers it took them 5 weeks to deliver it. And even 2 weeks for my bottle of Chypre Palatin last year before corona happened.

>>15706597
Of course, I talk to colleagues and friends about it often.
I alsi went to a perfume meetup a couple months ago in Copenhagen with some people i have a tiny community with, just like 10 people smelling things for 5 hours

SOTD: London. Snice and comfy with some vodka and coke before bed.
Might cop decants of Black Aoud and Chergui if my horse comes in tomorrow and wins me big money.

>>15707091
w2c blue coke?

still in bed with musc ravageur on. What is the best lilies fragrance you guys have tried?

>>15707107
I haven’t tried many but I really enjoy Lys Mediterranee

>>15707107
All lily fragrances I liked were really dark. Passage d'Enfer is a dark, incensy-woody fragrance, Fathom V is smells like death. It's very green and lily forward - imagine breaking lilies' stalks while disposing them after someone's funeral during a rainy, gloomy autumn day. That's how Fathom V smells like.

>>15706636
what fragerence does this pic smell like

>>15707091
>Meeting up with some randos to smell their TKMaxx-core and designer fragrances. At least on the other photo there were some nice, interesting niche fragrances.

do you also buy sweet deodorants in glass bottles?

>>15707116
I like passage d'enfer but imo the lilies are somewhat veiled here.. I would love a really clean beautiful lily in the same way as en passant is for lilac

>>15707123
We're kinda desperate here, not many good stores at all

>>15707124
PRO TIP: BRUSH YOUR TEETH AND WASH YOUR ASS

>>15707124
based retard

hey tourist here
thought it might be time to get a basic scent since im slowly leaving my 20s

anything thats subtle and not floury or too sweet? want to have a trademark but not one that you can still smell hours after i left the party

>>15707281
You can start here >>15706644

>>15707283
geez thats almost homework
ex nihilo nihil fit i guess

>>15706636
what does does this picture and era smell like?

>>15707283
think i might order the Blueberry London. i dont have a parfumerie close by. thanks!

tfw youre bored in bed and order the francesca bianchi discovery set

Just a reminder to people that on top of lower prices there are also codes on a lot of sites currently. Especially here in the UK, 15% off Notino and The Perfume Shop. Seems fragrances aren't selling all that well what with people covering their noses in public.

>>15707307
That was my beginner fragrance, I still love that one. I'm sure you won't be disappointed for the price.

>>15707308
Based and sleepypilled

Has anyone else still didn't get their free l'artisan perfumeur sampelr?

>>15707308
You did good, don't worry. I did kinda the same and two full bottles now are on the way to me.

>>15707182
Interesting, I thought that fragrances are quite a big thing in Scandinavia given all of the instamodels and lifestyle bloggers from your region.

>>15707281
Just get a cheap fresh all-rounder.
Bleu de Chanel
Dylan Blue
AdG Profumo

Crowd pleasing blind buys you will find recommended by any Youtuber probably. Doesn't mean it's bad, just that they are normal, not at all special and suit everyone.
Pick the one that suits your price and you have something you could wear anytime, from office to a date.

>>15707441
Do you prefer the EDP or EDT for Bleu de Chanel?

>>15707476
I just heard completely conflicting statements about them. I smelled one and did not buy it. I think it was the edt. That said I like DB more than BdC. Just feels a bit more laid back and versatile and has that summer night at the beach vibe to me.

Though BdC is definitely the better office fragrance. If you have some money and just want to smell good in a suit at the office? BdC wins hands down. I'd probably go for the edt as well.

All three are normal pleb fragrances you can put on at any time though. Pleb as in "people enjoy it"

>>15707476
I like the edp but it really doesent matter unless youre an autistic person who collects them they both smell good , dylan blue is like Bleu and dior sauvage mixed but a more relaxed casual scent

>>15706755
Very solid roto

>>15706755
Quite snice. Do you also prefer ACCD over LDDM?

F O U G E R E

E

>>15707536

Yeah, I had LDDM before but find ACCD the smoother and easier to wear. Fairly controversial point though, seems to be quite a lot of polarised debate over which the softer or more wearable one is.

Shall be dousing myself in Glade tomorrow

>>15707561
I feel the same as you bro actually but for me first of all LDDM is tad too sweet. Still an almost perfect fragrance and it's crazy to think that there's an improvement to it in the form of ACCD.

>>15707558
What a nice The Little Prince touch. However, I don't really like the brand. It seems like this is one of those glorified faux-niche brands that effectively just create clones of sorts.

>>15707567
Be sure to put some potpourri in your pockets, too.

>>15707571
faux-riche, nouveau-riche, effectively just makes clones, caters to whoever, marketing, etc
This is new pasta in the making, keep saying it on every thread

>>15707571
It's a fougere, a modern one, out of thousands. Nice and dry with a cypress touch, extrait concentration, and lacking the sweetness that an alternative bdj has in the drydown. They are absolutely part of the recent, out of nowhere, "I'm totally a luxury brand" cash grab. I like the scent, it was $129 shipped, and I needed some cypress in my life. There might be one or two other scents that I would enjoy from the house, but there are other brands I have my nose set on smelling now.

>>15707586
I agree. Nishane has a couple scents I liked, Fan my Flames and Wulong Cha were kind of cool, but most of their stuff just didn’t interest me (and yes, several were pretty blatant clones). People are circlejerking over Ani now (especially on Reddit), and to me, that one smells like straight burnt sugar and iodine. Just nasty stuff. Pretty much what I imagine the dude who wrote the BR540 pasta describing.

>>15707584
Don't be so angry darling

>>15707584
>JUST LET ME CONSOOOOOMEEE

>>15707595
I might like sultan vetiver, but nothing more is really jumping out at me from their catalog. Ambra calabria was kinda neat, I enjoyed it, but I don't know if I want a green amber scent. Like cut stems and amber, and you know, other stuff. I just don't have the urge to smell that all that often. I have a bunch of grossmiths coming like everyone else apparently, they kinda reek of fake luxury also, but it's the scent I'm interested in. Getting hung up on the marketing doesn't matter too very much to me if they have a product that is worth overlooking some of the distasteful facets of the image they might have.

>>15707602
r8 my other purchase this week

What are some good solid colognes? They're nice for travel and at the office.

>>15706636
Got this with my purchase of Musc Ravageur from fragrancebuy, it's not even on Fragrantica yet. Prob gonna be my next full bottle cop.

https://www.sprayparfums.com/en/product/nanshe/

>>15707617
Very true. The scent is ultimately what matters. Tacky bottles, silly advertising, whatever, if the scent is good, I don’t give a fuck. Just in the case of Nishane, most of their scents do seem to be very derivative and mediocre.

Jesus... Roja Burlington 1819 is good. Really, really good. It’s beautiful fresh citrus and mint layered over resins and spices, plus some woods and rum. It’s boozy, it’s sweet, but not too sweet, fresh, warm and spicy, but very smooth. I kind of get facets of Enigma and A Midsummer Dream. Very complex. This stuff is flying under the radar big time!

Fuck... I’mma have to cop now, but it’s a Burlington Arcade exclusive, so I’ll have to buy it direct from Roja. This one ain’t hitting the discount sites, I’m afraid.

>>15707694
Said before in this thread but Bleu de Chanel is the standard pick.
Bentley Intense if you want to smell like owning a Bentley.

looking for help with a gift idea for my 16 year old brother. he wants sauvage because he heard it’s a panty dropper. any less popular alternatives around that price range? does it even matter at his age? he has one of my old bottles of cool water and eros flame already. i just don’t want to get him something that his friends are also probably going to get for christmas

>>15707950
Go to a local store with him, tell the clerk in advance what advise you want and what price range. Then have him try 5/6 things and then step up as manly man and tell him you will pick the thing you think suits him best out of the 2/3 he really likes.

Input from him and chosen by Onii chan as a personal touch. The perfect gift.

>Does it matter?
Lol no. You just want to make him happy and that is your only priority. It literally does not matter if you end up with some e celeb bullshit that is just trending on Snap or Sauvage or Eros or whatever

>>15707430
Stockholm has absolutely amazing stores and Copenhagen has maybe two-three good stores but they are pretty limited in their selection unfortunately
The rest of Denmark and Sweden is pretty much dead regarding niche fragrance

>>15707913
He's talking about solid fragrances as in... not fluid in a bottle but a solid block

>>15708007
so soap?

>>15707308
Good work, mate. I’ve finished my second go through her samples and there’s enough left over to do it again. Have fun!

Looking for a rich, chocolate coffee scent that's like a mocha in a small coffee shop with light piano jazz playing. Essentially a grown up version of Pure Tonka, if that's possible

>>15707778
All in all, very nice work.
-l.t.

Rochas Moustache or L'Erbolario Méharées

>>15708309
Moustache

>>15707322
thx man

Tried a few more of the samples I ordered from Mood Scent Bar. First impressions:
>Costume National Homme
Probably the biggest letdown of the lot. It smells like this one shelf full of spices and different kinds of teas everyone has somewhere in a corner in his kitchen. Too much happening at the same time.
>bdk Parfums Oud Abramad
Saffron+woods here hurt my nose. It smells, dry, dusty and synthetic. £170 for a full bottle? Give me a break.
SOTD: ELDO Exit The King. What are you wearing lads?

>>15707617
How come people are talking about grossmiths atm? Never heard of the brand before

>>15708346
I'm not really sure, but I posted a image of golden chypre about 2ish weeks ago, and asked for opinions. I didn't realize it was in the chart, but presumably people looking at the refresh helped.

The Apple box anon was ahead his times.

>>15708346
I've talked about them here now and then over last 2 years since I smelled their frags in Bloom, London.

Looking for alternatives of pic related for daily use, any suggestions?

>>15707950
for the love of God don't pay retail

>>15707950
We are not fans of Sauvage here but you know if he's 16 and wants something specific then the best idea is not to look for an alternative. Especially given that you got money for the OG. I guarantee you that he won't feel any regret that he got a scent that his friends got as well, quite opposite imo. I think you've forgotten how it was to be a teenager. Just get him the bottle but don't pay retail bro.

>>15708309
meharees obviously

>>15708554
course not fuck that. i have a snice collection myself and built it on wholesale/outlets. i know the ins and outs decently thanks to a few years in this thread

Is there a flowchart for women

>>15708734

Wearing 10 sprays of moustache, feelsgoodman

Snice! I order my Roja Burlington 1819 and I left a message in the instructions box basically saying I was a big fan of the house and asking if I could get some samples. Got a message today from Roja himself thanking me for my kind words and saying he’d be happy to throw in some discovery atomizers. Pretty based, 2bqhfam.

>>15708734
There are no women coming here in the first place, so why would you be asking that?

>>15708794
Not to break your excitement but they always include discovery atomizers with full bottle orders.

>>15708328
I smelled
>Orto Parisi Viride
This is a weird one. It smells like a (good quality) masculine 'green' shower-gel. So does Sauvage, so I don't understand the idea behind this one.

>>15708885
Only one though. He seemed to indicate I’d be getting several, but who knows?

Can u guys make me a minimalist frag collection?

Looking for 3 frags max. 1 for spring/summer, 1 for fall/winter, and then 1 for special occasions. I need the 2 frags for the seasons to be crowd pleasers as I work with a lot of people.

What I like: tobacco, vanilla, warm spicy, rose

What I've tried: Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan, MDCI Chypre Palatin, Jubilation, D&G The One EDP, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

What I thought: Ambre Sultan was a hard pass for me. Reminded me some some frags id smell in a nursing home or grandmas house. Chypre Palatin and Jubilation were nice, but not really my style. They reminded me of some sent in my past which I just don't like. D&G the one EDP was very nice, loved the grapefruit and tobacco, but it didn't last for shit and seemed to lack the depth that the others had which I really liked. It wasn't unique enough basically. Tobacco Vanille was really nice, made me want to eat my arm, but it too I felt wasn't complex enough.

For the spring/ summer im pretty set on Creed Aventus. But im lost when it comes to my special scent and when it comes to the fall winter one. I have coming in the mail samples of spicebomb, Guerlain Santal Royal, Tom Ford Noir extreme, and Guerlain Ideal EDP. Should I add anything to this?

Thoughts on pic related? Also thoughts on Lyric Man?

>>15709430
For tobacco: Naxos will resolve the lack of complexity from Tobacco Vanille while also being great for special occasions and just general fall and winter use (make sure to expect a fougere)
Another good option that fits both f/w and special occasions is Ambre Nuit, since you like rose and warm spicy. It's also always a good idea to get to know Musc Ravageur.
I'd never reccomend Aventus for performance issues on the current formulation, but if you like it go ahead

>>15709446
What would you recommend in place of Aventus for better performance?

Great deal from Oriza L Legrand, one free 50ml bottle when you order a 100ml

>>15709449
You seem to have developed your taste a bit for cold weather frags, but not so much for summer and spring, so any recs would be tossups
Refer to the chart and see if any freshies seem interesting
And if you haven't tried Aventus yet you might be underwhelmed
Just keep sampling, no need to hurry

>>15709426
That’s not me >>15708910 kek. Mine’s supposed to be here Tuesday.

>>15709430

I'd stretch to four so one for every season. Although if it was three just drop IB.

Spring: MDCI Invasion Barbare
Summer: AdP Colonia Essenza
Autumn: Xerjoff Naxos
Winter: Armani Prive Bleu Lazuli

>>15708767
>>15708883
Because i have a girlfriend you fucking retards

>>15709430
Try Jazz Club for Fall/Winter.

>>15709509
Lmao, don't give shit recommendations to someone who knows way more than you do. Go to reddit with your Jazz Club synthetic water.

>>15709430

Alternatively for a crowd pleasing af spring/summer one with great projection and longevity there's PdM Percival. Naxos and Bleu Lazuli are both smooth tobacco variations, one with honey the other with vanilla and a slight spiciness. Diptyque Tam Dao EDP and AdP Colonia Concetree Sandalo are much smoother sandalwood variations worth considering if you like Santal Royal.

Not really sure about rose ones (I think ACCD is the only one I have with a prominent rose note), isn't a note I like that much and isn't that many decent spring/summer rose ones. Maybe it's worth trying Tom Ford Noir de Noir if you like rose but with a rich, chocolatey twist.

>>15709430
Layton :^)

>>15709518
Wow, he tried stuff and he didn't like it; he's basically a master perfumer.
Jazz Club has tobacco, is warm spicy, and a crowd pleaser. No harm in getting a sample.

>>15709542
hey! ;^)

>>15709562
>he's basically a master perfumer.
No, but he probably already has more developed nose than yours after these if you recommend this shit.

>>15709401
Dang, that actually looks really nice. Wouldn't pull the trigger myself as the notes don't grab me. But they didn't just put sunglasses on it this time haha

What's a good price for this resell/Used - mostly full?

>>15709401
their branding is so cool. then I dont like it htough b/c the animals are all wearing peoples clothes : S

>>15706636
ensign, what is the fragerence you are wearing on my deck? State yourself.

what are you wearing

>>15709902

It’s my GOAT cozy winter frag

>>15706636
>>15706636
Bros whats your favourite frag bottle design, it doesent matter if it smells like shit you just gotta love it

>pic related

the lid, the bottle shape and the writing remind me of a comfy early 90s time that i never experienced. The spackle pattern on the frag lid too

Looking to add another cologne to my collection, not sure which would be unique from the ones I currently have
>Creed Aventus
>Amouage Interlude
>Amouage Lyric man
>Spice bomb extreme
>D&G Light blue intense
>Acqua di gio
>Versace Eros

Looking for something perhaps to wear at

>>15709401
Damn it all those bottles and labels are better than ANYBODY else's in the game. Utter perfecton.

>>15709902
What would Picard wear?
You may not answer if you haven't seen TNG and TOS.

>>15710201
Tobacco vanille or antaeus

>>15710102
how do you like spicebomb extreme? does it smell like christmas?

>>15706636
What's your guys' favorite scents? How would you describe them? And do they come in sample packs? Looking to try out a range of stuff but I'm unsure where to start.

a lusty, eye-catching woman for your time.

>>15709984
it stinks

>>15709430
You should sample Interlude dawg.

looking into training with shadowboxing to get some fighting skill and maybe make my dad back off when he gets angry with his passive aggressive behaviour/sudden outbursts that make me so anxious I almost freeze up and shake.
What frag would be good for inbetween showering in the evening? (I'd get told not to shower twice a day or something otherwise as it uses water given we're on a meter)

>>15710332
>Looking to try out a range of stuff but I'm unsure where to start
see: >>15706644
start from the middle and explore what you like. you should be able to sample some of these for free at your local mall. if not, you can buy decants from various websites (see OP) or on your local facebook fragcomm group

>>15710407
I’m an amateur boxer myself. You should get at least couple trainings to see the proper form. Otherwise shadowboxing is a bit futile. Ask some friend who’s into some martial arts if you can’t afford boxing gym classes. You’ll get there don’t worry. I used to douse myself in Kouros after showers in sparring days. Literally felt like a young Greek god.

>>15710483
Thanks for the advice, anon. I'll be sure to check out a session or two once gyms are allowed to reopen post-lockdown (whenever that is)
tried Kouros on card, found it too musky and urinal cake like so I haven't given it a second look, but i can see how it compliments that feeling after a good workout

Really struggling to decide which Bianchi to buy. 90% sure it’ll be Etruscan Water, but The Lover’s Tale and The Black Knight are also immense. Why can’t I just have a million pounds so I can buy them all?

>>15710653
Just buy decants

>>15709430
>What I like: tobacco, vanilla, warm spicy, rose
Literally Rochas Moustache, works for Fall/Winter easily.

Just told my mum not to buy me 1 million for xmas, I have a gut feeling she'll get me a bottle this year and I don't want to tell her to return it lest it end up unused

>>15710810
sell it off and buy shit you like. just tell her you got bad comments about it

>>15710816
Damn that's a galaxy brain move right there

Which frags for this look?

>>15710853
Encre noire, Memoir Man, Bentley Absolute, Gucci Guilty Absolute

>>15710853

>>15710653
>Really struggling to decide which Bianchi to buy. 90% sure it’ll be Etruscan Water, but The Lover’s Tale and The Black Knight are also immense.
Are you me? Also struggling between Etruscan Water and The Black Knight. I think I will get both. This year I sampled 100+ frags because of corona and all of Bianchis are in the top but these two are top 1 and 2.

>>15710853
Beaufort London but they might be too much for a LARPing kid.

>>15710985
I’m the one that’s recently gone through the whole set and they’re all so good, despite me not enjoying Sex and the Sea (+Neroli) that much.

The Lover’s Tale is still detectable three days after I sprayed it, and three showers. It just won’t leave my skin. I’ve sprayed Eau Sauvage Parfum and Oud Wood over it the last two days and it still powers through in the end.

I'm a 24 yo postgrad who dresses like this and blindbought kouros, did I fuck up? Considering dior homme or sauvage

>>15711246
You blind bought one of the most polarising designer scents around. I personally love it but it seems like there's no middle ground. You might either think it smells like an abandoned piss cupboard on a train with a half-hearted attempt at cleaning it with some cheap bleach. Or maybe you'll think it's a beautiful, fresh, clean fragrance with a dirtiness underneath that smells like somebody freshly showered, but sweating on a hot day. Compared to how it used to be it's very tame, but relative to most designer things these days it could be seen as a strange choice. But let's face it, there's a reason it still gets sold on most counters 40 years later.

>>15711246
based I dress the same, I wear dylan blue and l'homme ideal EDP

>never used fragrance my whole life if not some deodorant thst vanishes after a couple of hours
>just bought some Paco Rabanne One million e cause its the only fragrance I know

Did I do good?

>>15711278
pretty safe desu, smells good. Designer frags are always pleasing and nice

Nice, I kinda regret buying a 50ml bottle. There's no way I used more than 5mls over last two years since I got it given how potent it is. A decant would do.

>>15711246
>bought Kouros
>considering sausage
You seem massively confused. Don't they teach thinking for yourself in your postgraduate school?

>>15711391
now that youve had some time with it, how does it smell?

Bought this back in February and it was expensive as fuck. I like it but I've hardly worn it cause corona chan basically killed my budding frag hobby (probably for the best). Last time I was in one of these threads there was an Eros vs civet war going on. Anyone got any thoughts on this or anything else from Penhaligons?

Can anyone recommend a wood fragrance that is longer lasting and has decent sillage. I have tried wonderwood and liked it a lot but started to get tired of it. I ran out of it and decided to try Tam Dao since it seems popular. I like it a lot, but it is very short lived. I have a sample of the EDP as well, but even that doesn't seem drastically different than the EDT i bought. I'm also interested in spice scents.

>>15711567
Despite my general dislike of Creed I’m a fan of Royal Oud, which should be called Royal Sandalwood.

>>15711560
I’M STILL HERE!!!

>>15711575
isin't there some ylang ylang bush you should be shitting in somewhere?

>>15711570
I'll see if i can find a store nearby where i can test it out. thanks

>>15711575
Thank you for your service

Anyone tried this? I have a sample right now and i hated it the first time and after a week I love it and am about to buy a bottle. Anything else similar?

>>15711522
I get deep/dark flowers (not fresh in any way), oakmoss, and various wood. I will say that I do not like the opening much, but it is quite comfy when the opening dissipates

>>15711567
maybe try trumper sandalwood

>17M Minimalistic Designer Collection
>Minimalistic
>2/3 of scents here doing the same thing
These faggots are delusional.

>>15711600
Lmao, CTRL+C CTRL+V type of collection

>>15711605
That’s the epitome of being Jerememed.

Since I'm back >>15711560 again I want to pick up where I left off. I tried to buy a bottle of Squidward about a year ago but the seller fucked me. Just ordered it again. I think someone else on here beat me to it after I tried to order it the first time but fuck it I'm bringing Squidward back

>>15711612
That’s so alien to me. I guess I’m 30 and at a different stage in my life to his core audience but it’s confounding to think a person would obey/follow a youtube personality to that degree. Surely you would start to develop personal preferences as you smelled more things and branch out a little? There’s a lot of these people on reddit, they’re posting on a site with a bunch of information about fragrances but somehow are blinkered and only able to see jermemery

>>15711516
Nah
What do you suggest

>>15711669
I’ll admit that when I got in to fragrances he was something of a guide and I did buy a couple of things I regret (Ultra Male) but I still sampled it and deliberated. It’s not even that I dislike it, it just doesn’t really offer me much these days but it helped me refine my taste and explore different avenues.

>>15711088
>The Lover’s Tale is still detectable three days after I sprayed it, and three showers. It just won’t leave my skin. I’ve sprayed Eau Sauvage Parfum and Oud Wood over it the last two days and it still powers through in the end.
Same bro. I was standing under a hot shower and rubbing my hands against place where I sprayed it and could smell it off my hands lol. These might seem to be on the pricey side of things but if you account that all Bianchis are Extraits with this kind of performance I think they're dumb cheap for what you get out of them.

>>15711631
Squidward head on Classique when?

>>15711711
Yeah, the price is unreal. I was considering Anatolia by Prin as well but with my discount code I can get a Bianchi for nearly half the price, and they’re both 30ml extrait. I still might buy Anatolia but that won’t be for a while.

I sprayed Bengale Rouge over that wrist tonight so maybe that will finally tame the beast, but I’m not confident. I think I might have a scent tattoo permanently embedded in my skin.

>>15711669
Jeremy’s followers don’t actually care about fragrance. They’re coomers, Pajeets, and thirsty Persians. They only care about what frags will (allegedly) get them laid. That’s why they don’t have their own preferences, they don’t really care how their frags smell.

So, which Bianchis should I cop? Thinking I’m gonna get two, but I have no idea which. I’m leaning towards Black Knight and Etruscan Water, but they’re all so good, I’m not sure! Etruscan Water, like many others, I love the opening, but the drydown, while snice, is nothing terribly special to me. Maybe Stick Fingers? Fuck! I can’t decide!

>>15711786
I’m glad somebody else understands my dilemma. To me Etruscan Water seems the most wearable. Sticky Fingers is also terrific but almost feels a little “safe”, not that that’s bad, but I feel like a big patchouli scent isn’t the most remarkable thing she’s done, but it’s still really well done. The Lover’s Tale as I and another guy have mentioned is an absolute monster, but it’s so beautiful and smooth with it.

>>15711790
It’s really tough. Probably the only house where I’ve liked every single one of their scents. I think Black Knight is a lock, but I can’t choose my second one!

>>15711786
>>15711790
Damn so it makes three of us all pondering about buying the same Bianchi bottles lol.(and another who already has a handful of full bottles as I saw in pictures) Let's just do it. I think I'm gonna cop The Black Knight.

>>15711797
I’d say Etruscan then, the closest thing to a summer scent. Black Knight can be cold, Etruscan warm. I’m going to order mine in the next couple of days I think. But I still don’t know which.

Fuck, I've put a sample of Arquiste Nanban into my pocket and can't find it anywhere. Wanted to try it again today >:(

>>15711807
Sex and the Sea (and the Neroli version) are kind of summery too, though. Plus, I’ve got stuff like Elysium for summer.

>>15711815
Oh yeah, silly me. I just don’t enjoy them so I guess that’s why I forgot. I might hang on to my samples until next summer and wait for an insanely hot day and see how they are because I feel like testing them on the way to winter isn’t fully representative of them since they smell so beachy.

Considering blind buying this. Is it any good? Does it smell too dated for today?

>>15711863
I own a 30ml as a blind buy and I enjoy it a lot, it is a bit dated in that it's a product of its time but a snice fougere nonetheless

I´m set for winter

>>15711964
Patrician choices. Cogratulations.

>>15709435
loved my sample of Lyric Man, but can't justify the pricetag. going to just recreate it myself.

>>15711964
So you bought a BDC lookalike and The One - Horse Edition, big fucking deal

>>15711990
Kek, that's actually quite funny post.

>>15711990
Lol

>>15712089
Iron Duke by Beaufort

>>15711770
What kind of discount do they do? Is it with purchase of one of the sample sets? I was thinking of getting the masculine set

Is it weird to find a similarity between Layton and Naxos? I like Naxos more but I swear they're fairly similar.

>>15712161
I bought the discovery set and get an 18 euro discount off a full bottle.

>>15711278
Sell it

>>15711772
They're the modern Old Spice wearers. Where is that dude that memes about fucking your mom because of Old Spice.

Do you think there are advantages to trying samples on card instead of skin other than the practicality of trying multiple at once and not having to commit to something you don't enjoy?

I've done it. 30ml of Etruscan Water and free samples of The Black Knight and The Lover's Tale, all for £74. Bargain.

>>15712718
Scents smell different on your own skin. If you actually want to wear your frags and not just have them on a shelf then try them on your skin.

>>15712737
Is that a deal from somewhere or just after the sample discount?

Guys, I seriously think Jeremy is at his breaking point

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUX430IxG1s

>>15712786
The discount from my discovery set applied. It says free delivery on orders over 98 euros (a full bottle, essentially) so I thought it would invalidate it but it didn’t.

>>15712791
yeah I think with this deal her perfumes are pretty damn cheap.. really looking forward to my sample set arriving

>>15712874
wearing salome today btw broskis.. what a monster of a fragrance

>>15712874
It feels like you’re paying for the perfume and nothing else, despite them all being the same price.

>>15712877
How many of hers have you tried? I’m looking forward to the sample set.

>>15712877
I've tried bengale rouge (of which i bought a bottle after), tobacco rose (contemplating a bottle), and now salome. They are very very different, but all incredible quality. The other day I got a sample of portrait of a lady just to remind myself whether tobacco rose or portait is the best rose frag I've smelled.. and it is easily tobacco rose.
For salome, it's a dense musky thing that also reeks of earthyness, it's great, but generally not my style.. I am the guy who often wears en passant, l'eau d'hiver, chypre palatin, etc.. I prefer things a bit more subtle. Tobacco rose fits this nicely as it is simple a beautiful pure rose with a slight ashy background

>>15712406
Not really, you just box all vaguely oriental fragrances together. The same way people who start out say that all fragrances smell 'perfumey'. Smell more and you pick up on differences.

>>15712662
>They're the modern Old Spice wearers.
No, modern Old Spice wearers would be guys who have one or two colognes (that they likely got for Christmas) and don't care. They clearly care a lot thinking that buying all these Jeremey scents will get them poossy despite being ugly slobs.

>>15712737
Damn, nice. /frag/ Bianchi defense force grows

>>15712877
Salome is beautiful. I remember when at first I thought that it's too animalic for me but got a sample of it in some sample swap a year later and it grew on me a lot. I really like the musky-rose with all that dark earthy-chocolaty vibe around it.

>>15713030
I don't wish to claim credit for it, but when I first asked for recommendations for just one to sample nobody responded. I thought I'd treat myself and bought the set. Now here we are with multiple people talking about her work. I know there's somebody with a few of her bottles (Also a fan of Laphroaig) but other than him I don't think I've seen anybody else here with her in their collection.

>>15713038
bianchi and papillion seem like better brands to be constantly talking about than some of the past obsessions this board has had, Im encouraged.

>>15713061
No doubt, I haven't seen much chat about Prin Lomros but I feel he might be another people here could enjoy, although his tend to be a little more experimental than Bianchi/Papillon.

>>15713061
This. Prin, Bianchi, Papillon >>>>>>>> Areej Le Dore.

>>15713063
I have about 45 samples coming soon, Its almost as interesting discovering what other people enjoy than seeing what works for yourself.

>>15712788
Damn, sad to see it. I dislike many things about him but at least he seems to be an honest, simple and genuine guy unlike many other reviewers.

I've been wearing La Yuqawam for a while and it became too sweet for me, almost verging on a gay side, where to go from here?

I took a break from all niche samples I've been trying over last two weeks and sprayed myself today with Eau Sauvage Parfum 2017. Damn, it's so nice. I swear to god it never lets me down. My 100ml bottle is 25% full and I am with no doubt going to get a 200ml bottle next time. I can't imagine myself without it.

>>15713091
I'm going to get a bottle of the 200ml soon as well. Maybe I'll get two. Perhaps I'll email Dior and see if they'll send me a 205 litre drum with an atomiser on top.

>>15712788
Fuck me he looks like a ghoul from Fallout

>>15713090
Ombre Leather. It probably costs about the same as your Arab clone after they started pushing it too much with the price and Ombre Leather is way better than Tuscan Leather anyway.

>>15713094
lmao

>>15712788
When he smashed his head with the bottle of Pure Havane... Jesus. I hope he’s ok.

>>15712788
he doesn't even do the clap+360-spin intro anymore, he's really going downhill. Truly sad to see.

>>15713186
I'm not looking to beat up my dad, I just felt upset at the time and I feel that if he knows I know how to defend myself, prevention is better than cure...
I feel sick that I even wrote that.

He's as fake and shit human being (if not more) as others. You're feeling sympathy and feel sorry for him because your're being played like tools by the classic halo effect because he's attractive, charismatic and fun. This faggot Eugene is way more genuine than him but he on other hand seems disgusting because he's not like Jeremey.

>>15713243
Nah, Jeremy is just fun to watch. Eugene is a trainwreck, sad!

Guys,

I just sampled spicebomb, Tom Ford Noir Extreme, and Guerlain Santal Royal...

All 3 smell very similar, and all 3 are burning my nostrils. Especially Santal Royal, its so strong and is making me nauseous. I only spray one spray on my leg too..

Should I scrub or stick it through and give them a chance? I'm completely new to fragrances so idk if my nose isn't developed or what but I really want to get these off of me rn

>>15713265
if you dont like it, you dont like it
come back to them in a few weeks or months, and you might change your mind

>>15707124
What are the best odorless deodorants?

>>15713282
Currently I'm using Tanicream antiperspirant

>>15713281
Ok how do I wash it off me. I took a shower and I can still smell it. Im about to go insane pls help

>>15706636
any ideas on Black XS

>>15713364
TJMaxx-core

>>15713293
Mix dish soap and hand soap and scrub with a brush. That's usually enough to kill anything.

Is anyone else stuck on that elusive scent profile.
I like woody, amber, leather and fruity scents but I know they're not mutually exclusive, a mishmash of what I like would probably not be that nice.
Where do I branch out in the world of niche scents? For reference I'm currently done building my wardrobe save maybe a pair of trainers or a tie for my suits here and there as and when I feel like it, or my current rotation of beaters gets worn out etc

>>15712788
Kek
Did he say gay guys tried to black mail him with naked pictures?

>>15713371

lmao , any sugges then?

>>15713404
He did.

>>15706636
should i buy Noir Extreme?

>>15713428
You should buy a sample or try it in a shop. But to me it’s 10/10.

>>15713404
And he said a girl accused him of rape. He actually led with that one. Kind of an aggressive opening...

>>15712788
Jesus, that was just odd from start to finish. I’m not even memeing, dude is legitimately unravelling.

>>15713186
Zootopian Trex

havent bought a frag in 2 months bros....investing in stocks and crypto instead. I really want another aqua allegoria and chergui though

>>15713460
He talks about that one quite often. Gay blackmail is new.

what's the best frag I can sample for £5?
looking to win £35 on the golf, popping a fiver on I'm a Celeb somewhen and then another 5 on horses/greyhound/roulette to leave me £5 up that I can spend on frag shit and still break even

Should I get a 5mL decant of Encre Noire a L'Extreme for $10? I know you can get 100mL new in box for like $25 but I'm not sure I want to blind buy that much

do i spray on the inside or outside of my wrists?

>>15713723
Inside. You want it where there’s blood flow. Pulse points essentially.

>>15713624
Bit vague, mate. Maybe look at something like a Strangers fragrance as it’s on the cheaper side of Prin’s fragrances.

>niche perfumer only does 30ml bottle
>Over 3 dollars per ml

Just at least offer 50ml so I don't feel like I'm going to run out in two months and have to make another insane purchase. Is it small batches, rare ingredients, or just price gouging?

>>15713754
It really depends. To use Bianchi as an example you have to consider that they’re extract so more perfume oil, meaning less dilution (which is part of what makes it cheaper). If it were an EdT then that would be expensive. There are too many factors, and we don’t really know about the quality of ingredients so it’s hard to say exactly.

>>15713774
Extrait, not “extract”.

>>15713617
I mean, how did a gay dude get naked pictures of Jeremy in the first place?

>>15713782
Alberto Morillas is gay?

What are some good sites where I can buy perfume samples, preferably based in europe so I do not have to wait a month for them to ship?

>>15713588
>.investing in stocks and crypto instead
Must be going great if you can't just buy fragrances that you like. How about getting a regular job?

>>15713754
That's why I love Nicolai. 30ml bottle of New York Intense costs 59EUR (1.96EUR per ml) and a 100ml bottle costs 177EUR (1.77EUR per ml) if you account for a bigger bottle the cost difference is negligible

>>15713834

>>15713987
and also this, more for spring/summer, i don't know how it smells either but i like fig.

>>15713987
Bold move. It’s enormous, lasts forever, it’s extremely sweet and cloying if it’s too warm and isn’t very versatile.

But it’s one of my favourites so you never know, you might like it.

>>15714004
I actually like his bottle desu

>>15714003
You can order samples online?

>>15714005
retarded to blindbuy things.. if you sampled before like a non-drooler would then you'd know the main note is coconut and not fig
sotd: musc ravageur >:)

>>15714007
50ml TF bottles are so much slimier and nicer to an eye

>>15714014
yes, ofc lol you didnt know this?

yeah true, but for me its the label and the lid which make it look

>>15713754
Personally for many things I’d prefer if there was a 30ml size (amouage comes to mind). I love sampling new things so my full bottles get used up very slowly

>>15713844
Yeah this is why I will likely end up with a 30ml of Patchouli Intense eventually, very little markup on their smaller sizes

>>15711605

>tfw actually own and vaguely like D&G Light Blue

>>15713834
how does him investing make you think that the guy doesnt have a regular job? and not spending money on stupid, unneeded shit doesnt make you rich, but it does make you spend less. it's less about trying to be rich and more about being financially responsible and having more money for actual necessities. what the fuck are you on about?

/fit/izen here, i bought gucci guilty absolute 2 years ago and never opened it (my old winter bottle didnt finish because of covid)

recently ive read that perfumes have a 3 year shelf life, is that true? what happens if a perfume passes 3 years opened or unopened? can i still use it?

>>15715602
It's absolutely not true, unopened and even opened fragrances can last almost indefinitely, the only things to avoid is UV light, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Think cool, dry, and dark

>>15713723
Outside. The hair helps retain the scent and youre not making contact with as many surfaces that rub it off. Pulse points are bullshit.

>>15715632
nice
its been in a box all this time

my first fragrance:
top: bergamot, petitgrain
mid: rose
base: cashmeran, sandalwood

working on formula now
