-20% on Hiram Green frags on their website from Friday.

I don't really get it. It smells really good when you smell it up close but I rarely get whiffs of it throughout the day. Not as good as Sova IMO.

>>15738536
Never smelled it but I already learned that many of the memes are just overhyped and assumed that might the case with this one, too.

>>15738524
kek, great pic, OP

Just bought margiela by the fireplace. Might be my favorite frag ever. Smells like burnt cedar, warm spices, and heavy vanilla

sotd
i consider it a classic already, but it gives such a comfy feeling during the cold temperatures right now

Is Noir by Tom Ford really worth it?
If so, which version
A quick rundown would be greatly appreciated.

What frag would Santa Claus wear?

>>15738682
Katie is amazing but hasn’t done anything for years. Not a video at least, I believe she still writes.

>>15738666
Wafts from the Loft are probably the most highly praised of all here.

>>15738570
Noir Extreme is pretty good. Reviews say that it has garbage performance and longevity but I don't find that to be the case. It can be bought pretty cheap on eBay. Noir Anthracite is an extremely masculine very cold/bitter perfume. Definitely divisive, but I like it. Not a regular wear though.

Noir is nice but unremarkable. Noir Extreme is 10/10 for me, very gourmand, but beautiful spices and not too cloying, but more appropriate for colder days. Noir Anthracite is the worst perfume I’ve ever tried. I despise it. And looking at the notes I feel I should enjoy it.

lads what do I do with a cologne I don’t really like? I’ve got a big ass bottle of Jonas Brothers cologne. I don’t like it but don’t want to waste it either.

Depends on the frag and the weather.
for EDT or Low Concentration Frags:
>warm dry weather = 4 sprays
>warm humid weather = 3 sprays
>cold dry weather = 5 sprays
>cold humid weather = 4 sprays
for EDP or High Concentration Frags:
>warm dry weather = 3 sprays
>warm humid weather = 2 sprays

>cold humid weather = 3 sprays

>>15738926

>>15738523
Check his site for yourself, m8. 390.00 USD for 100mls of Black Tie. Motherfucker’s asking Roja prices for generic Morillas juice.

>>15738926
God I can’t into this bottle design. To be fair I also hate Roja/FdB bottles.

>>15738970
You'll have to try ebay or go to your local nieche sellers. I was lucky enough the perfumerie by my uni was selling it, but sadly not the Quetzaly. I copped the Ambre Leather tho, shit's got me like 4 compliments already.

I feel the opposite, maybe because growing up my father had a lot of bottle with hat style, but there's something about the squarish-gaudy bottles that just warms my heart. On the other hand I feel disgust when I see something like the Ariana Grande bottles.

>>15738974
Does he actually manage to sell any of his frags? He must really be hurting for money.

Best drug store frag? For me it's pic related, but I hate their other products like soap and deodorant.

>>15739015
He’s already rich and I doubt he’s spending that much money making his frags. He’s after acclaim not money. He prices his stuff so high because he’s trying to cultivate a “luxury” image. I’m not sure he realizes that a massive chunk of his viewers are teenagers and rispek from Mumbaiers who have no money.

>>15738577
The coffee looks horrible

>>15739036
It's not bad but it needs more spice and less old lady smell.

Pic related is better. It's a shame it's just so weak. Smells like mint sugar cookies.

Pesolaise would be better if he edited his streams into a shorter highlight video. Some of the things he says are hilarious but its just his vids are just too damn long.

what does everyone think of this? Just bought it a couple days ago.

Ok guys, I was just given 500.00 as a gift and I’m gonna buy two Bianchis. I think Black Knight is a lock, but what else? I honestly like them all. Should I wait a few weeks until her new frag is out?

>>15739409
I’m really curious about her new one. I wore Etruscan Water to work today and actually got compliments, which never happens.

If I bought another bottle it would be Black Knight or Sticky Fingers I think.

Wonderwood vs Tam Dao
Is it just cedar vs sandalwood?

bed scent today is Under my skin.. the one I enjoy the most have been etruscan water, which is not so surprising as I am not a big amber or leather fan, which is heavy notes in several of her others.

Of course, Guerlain has so many legendary scents. My favorite is Derby

>>15739253
I mean the whole first episode Tommy is trying to make a rock and roll scent, in a completely sterile and corporate manner. Even hiring some punk band to promote it. Then Guerlain says the N word on tv twice, showing who the real punk is.

Aw damn. I was gonna order a few Bianchis today and Black Knight and a couple others are sold out. That sucks.

They're as legendary as pictured in the documentary. Their stuff range from one of the best affordable fragrances on the market to unique niche lines.

So I was on a quest to find a masculine rose. After some tests that's what I found worth recommending.

When it comes to vintages then Alain Delon Iquitos is just like dandified Kouros with a massive rose playing the first role (and as polarizing and loud as Kouros). Look up how much does it cost in your country here in Europe I got a 7ml miniature for about 5EUR delivered but in US people pay up to $500 for a bottle (tbf if not Corona and all my travel plans cancelled I'd be buying an extra luggage full of Iquitos in Europe to sell it in US).

Moschino Toy Boy is great. Lives on clothes for weeks as well.

>>15740802

>>15740785
same with the rittersport, but I got some weird samples. Panama 1924 and Baume de Doge by Eau D'Italie, never heard of these houses. But whatever, my frag is here!

>>15740804
I did see it. I was just agreeing with you that it is worth recommending. Most of your other bottles are not rose perfumes per se for me, they just have a rose note in them is all.

Is there any issue with using a fragrence that's quite old, I got a bottle of Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme about 10 years ago, and realised I actually really like it, just want to make sure there isn't anything to look out for when using something that's been left in a drawer that long.

>>15740205

Opinions on Luna Rossa Sport?

guys should I buy valentino uomo intense for the winter? or should I just go for la nuit?

VUI and VU are good. Intense is, well, an intense version VU but even VU is OK for winter. I do not believe that Valentinos are inferior to DH. They were created by the same perfumer after all. Notably, the people who says Diors were ruined by reformulations, barking on the freshly issued Valentinos.
You can also try Givenchy Gentleman Parfum if VUI will be hard to find.

>>15740837
I got tobacco rose and musc ravageur -- have had them both as samples for some time but it was nice to just hammer myself with 5 sprays tobacco rose now >:)

Nah was pretty cringe. Didn't find what I was looking for. Now I'm gonna delete my history and probably get a new modem and service provider so I can eradicate any evidence that I visited.

I like to think like if I died what kind of person do I want to be remembered as? And the answer to that is: definitely didn't go on or use reddit. Fuck that site man it really sucks. Anyone who uses reddit is either a woman, a neckbeard, or some combination of the two. I hear people talk about it irl in my class and gosh its so cringe. Ill probably die alone because I can't bare to spend time with any normies

Nah, you right. I’m a liberal and I think this shit is silly too. Like, he wasn’t trying to offend anyone, what he said wasn’t mean-spirited, it’s just how people used to talk and what he’s used to. All this cancel culture shit, it’s just nosy dipshits on Twitter who have nothing better to do and the sooner people realize that they don’t represent the majority of people and stop listening to them, the better off we’ll all be.

>>15741368

I dunno, mang. Getting this upset over a silly internet turd war seems pretty cringe to me. I’d think a super successful guy like you would have more important things to think about.

200ml of Pour in Homme De Caron and 150ml (2x75ml) of Cool Water on their way to me for the princely sum of £55. Considered buying 200ml of every Eau Sauvage too, but that might have to wait.

42 year old here. Don't listen to the fags up in here recommending niche shit or babby crap like Sauvage. Go with some classics like Acqua di Parma Essenza or Colonia Club for warm weather. For (mostly) all year round Green Irish Tweed us classic as fuck and so nice. For cooler weather I like a nice mature vetiver like Grey Vetiver, Guerlain Vetiver, or Terre d'Hermes. Hell, even good old Drakkar is a good choice for cool weather.

Eau de Tendies

Hi, /frag/.
I own a bottle of Cool Water, my first perfume. I use it mostly to go to the beach and to the gym. I want to buy another fragrance to go out at night and maybe to rotate it with CW to go to the gym. What is your recommendation? I live by the beach in a forever warm and humid place. I'm in my early 20s about to graduate college. I don't want something too loud, I am a sober person. Also preferably below $100.
Jerememe recommended Versace pour homme for the gym and I heard is good to go out at night too. Should I get one?

>pic unrelated just to grab your attention

>>15742046
I absolutely couldn’t get on with this, but I respect it so much.

>>15742724
Im in my early 20's in Northern Australia where its hot and humid. I wear Versace Pour Homme as an everyday frag, Also like Versace Eau Fraiche when im around the beach. Nautica Voyage is my go-to for the gym only because its cheap and i abuse it

Is this the ultimate proof that the “fragrance community” is full of shit? This is the best Creed, and I’ve never received more over the top compliments than I have with this guy. I had a cashier once say “that smells fucking amazing” while she was ringing me up and then get embarrassed because she swore. It was like she didn’t mean to say anything, Viking is so snice that it pulled the words out of her head involuntarily. And I am NOT an attractive man. At all. Why the fuck do people hate this fragrance?

It is not beautiful you know. Just some ISO E Super plus plebeian cedar plus some bong spices. Smells like smelly feet to me.

>>15741028
Pic is blurry but I can't be bothered today to take all of them somewhere with better light. Black Aoud, ESP 2017, Trumpers Sandalwood, 4160 Freeway, Ormonde Man, XJ Mefisto Gent, Azemour Les Orangers, NYI and the newest Black Friday acquisition: Francesca Bianchi The Black Knight.

>>15743329
It must suck to have your skin+nose.

>>15743003
Because people love to blindly hate creed. SMW, Viking, Tabarome, Royal Oud, and VIW are all EXCELLENT scents, not to mention Aventus, which was a monumental release whether you think it’s overrated or not.

>>15743277
Worth it only if you're after the historical value or they bring out the dearest of your memories out of your mind. If you're after a scent then not worth it in 99/100 cases. The huge circlejerk fragcommunity makes it feel otherwise by glorifying and romanticizing the vintages but in reality most of the vintage juice was exposed for decades to direct sunlight and stored in shit environment like bathrooms so they anyway don't smell anything like they used to. The quality, natural ingredients catch phrase is also bs. They used naturals because chemistry wasn't as advanced as it is now and you didn't have as many amazing synthetics. I guarantee you that if they had access to inventions in modern chemistry they wouldn't bat an eye to use them. We also live in the golden era of perfumery right now. I don't see point in chasing vintages of dubious quality if you have 100x more choice than in past. Everyone will find something to suit their likings if they look deep enough.

>Because people love to blindly hate creed.
I'm for long enough in these threads to notice that here people rather cringe at the made up from their asses history of the brand and the fanbase made mostly of divorced men in their 40s. They are also overpriced for what these fragrances are. I personally would be all over BdP if Nicolai NYI didn't exist. You're also right about Aventus. It's overplayed af (and I personally hate it) but it's definitely one of the most important fragrances of the last decade that started a modern masculine take on the fruity-chypre structure that most people associated with Mitsuoko.

>>15738524
Too poor for Portrait of a Lady, is Porpora a good substitute? Hit me with your snicest rose frags bruhs

Well, the simulation is breaking down again last 2 threads I've begged anons to talk to me about both santal noir and Jules, and silly Sebastian has a vid on both. Should I take my meds, or just buy both instead?

>>15743004
>admits he’s ugly
>HURR YOU’RE UGLY KEK
You’re a clever one.

When I was going through the Bianchi set I was in the realm of dark, heavy scents. I've been away from them for a couple of weeks and I've just sprayed Black Knight on. Fucking hell this is powerful. You can tell how thick the perfume is as well because you really have to put some effort in to actually get a proper spray rather than it just spitting it out.

Anyone try this? People tell me it's good

Any of you get anything in the sales? I'm in the UK and only know of three discounters but there's not much on them I'm interested in.

I bought this a while ago


Why did I buy this

I'm wearing it now (one spray on front of neck)

I don't know why I bought this

Anons Im completely new to fragrance, pls explain to a retard what do you use to stop sweating? Normally I use deodorant but it has its own smell so how do I use fragrance and stop myself from sweating, are there any
antiperspirants with no smell?

>>15743838
Yeah, just google unscented deodorant, or you could a deodorant that doesn't have an offensive chemical smell, I used to use a patchouli scented deodorant that was solid like a bar of soap

>>15743851
thanks. Also are the designer perfumes the only affordable ones? I'm a watchfag and it seems so weird that the industry is dominated by brands that are not mostly focused on the perfumes, but clothes

Rec me a Tobacco dominant frag, nothing obscure and nothing common.

>>15743865
Not him, but yes, that's often the case. The profit margins on them are astronomical. It's a way for the average consumer to buy something that says Dior or Chanel, and they're so cheap to make, and sell for so much more than that that it's huge business for them.

>>15740611

getting my sample of nawab of oudh intensivo next week
im curious about it since its said to be a solid rose pick

>>15743872
Is it possible to get affordable fragrance that is not from designer brands? It would be great to buy something without a fancy bottle that would be actually good

>>15743904
I guess it depends what you consider affordable.

Guerlain and Acqua di Parma are probably the closest thing to a halfway point between designer and niche.

wearing my rose et cuir sample.. damn this thing is much more spicy and green than I thought it would be (its fairly freshly applied though) -- big green opening with pepper and background rose. I smell no leather but I do smell some earth/wood. Much more interesting than I thought
other than that sotd was musc ravageur >:)

>>15743872
also Im not really sure what designer brands actually make good, because their cothes are shit too. Watches from boss/klein etc. are just the cheapest shit, you can buy exactly the same product from aliexpress for 3$

>>15743910
By affordable I mean at the price of designer fragrance. Also just checked and it belongs to lvmh so pretty much designer

>>15743913
It's not really about the designers themselves because they hire perfumers to do their work so it's more about the skill of the perfumers behind them. There's not always brand consistency. For example, I don't like any Prada fragrances except L'Homme, but that's one of my favourites. Dior have several excellent fragrances, but so terrible ones too.

>>15743918
The two I mentioned are probably your best bet, although I'm sure I'm missing some other examples.

Might just be an obnoxious cunt and buy either Ultra Male or Sauvage EDP and go 5-6 sprays of either whenever I leave the house from now
i'm 10x /fa/ than anyone I see on the street so why should i give a fuck about their opinion?

>>15743928
I've got Ultra Male (it's a really unusual one in my collection) and I think you might collapse if you spray it six times.

>>15743929
I'm willing to take that risk
Even though I have very mild asthma I'd rather die an overspraying retard than of the coof

>>15743923
By designer I meant the brands, thanks

I think it's probably a telling sign I need to slow down that I'm having to basically fight not to buy another bottle even though it's cheap as fuck in the sales.

Just bought these 3 as a newbie. Did i fuck up?

the mum thinks that LDDM is too strong
now i'm considering whether i should buy it or not

I really love Le Male, maybe it's a nostalgia thing but I've always loved it and probably will always have a bottle (although the one I have is way too old and I should probably ditch it). I got a 10ml sample of Ultra Male and holy shit it's weird. It's the sweetest thing I've ever smelled. I wore it on a night out once and when I woke up the next morning with a bad hangover the smell of Ultra Male was so strong it made me puke lmao. I finished the sample eventually but really I can't imagine anybody ever wearing this

>>15743986
You're here so you will. At least you'll eventually learn not to give out terrible fragrance suggestions.

>>15743971
The Lalique is v snice

>>15744028
Yeah, but he bought those years off some sketchy Russian site, so his 44 years are actually bootlegs.

If i find Le Male, Drakkar Noir nice wears but not full bottle worthy should i give BDJ & Azzaro PH a go?

>>15743971
Lalique is an underrated gem

Best frags to buy for gf? Looking at Guerlain Mitsouko

if you don't have at least two rose frags you're gay

>>15744361
I don't know what age you're dealing with, but while Mitsouko is good she might find it a little old school. I'd recommend Delina by PdM, or Ambre Nuit as more modern picks.

Nice, ill look into it
>>15744478
I have 3, looking to expand my collection. I'm not so much into the rose oud thing yet, there seems to be an over abundance of that type on the market right now. Maybe if I can narrow down the 3-4 best I'll sample those and see if I like one enough for a bottle.

BdJ is in the same city as Drakkar, but in a more expensive neighborhood. BdJ has a certain sweetness in the patchouli heavy dry down that I'm kind of on the fence about though. Get a sample and try it.

Any thoughts on this guy? I liked the sample I smells at the department store but the only other other one I tried was essenza which I liked but found a little too orange blossom-y (neroli?) Idk not too good at this stuff. The pure was a little more shaving creamy and citrus zest or something. Also any cartier frags good? The lady gave me some samples of them even tho I did not ask about cartier and I havent smelt them yet.

I don't know if I would wear this but man it really does smell like the fantasy version of Ireland that I've got in my head.

>>15744969
Fuck

>average Fragrantica user says Antaeus is overpriced
>1 dollar/ml
What the fuck is it supposed to cost? It smells great and I'm guessing that its objective quality is fairly high since it's a Chanel. I'd pay more for it.

I've got to go to an evening gathering with all my coworkers somewhen next week, going to look fa like I always do.
Should I go with Floriental, Oud Minerale or Eau Sauvage Parfum?

>>15739405

>>15745585
The 'my (growing) fragrence collection anons' posts are always ironic reposts from reddit.

I'm curious if there are any /tip/ cross-posters on /frag/?

>>15745604
I’m just a lurker over there, but one of the classic AdPs, BdJ, Eau Sauvage, PR PH, Azzaro PH is basically an exhaustive list.
Spergs will add Drakkar Noir or Brut.
But that’s the problem with tip in general, you end up with something rather unimaginative or spergy.
Had one exchange semester at an Ivy League school in the past (I’m a Europoor) and the only fa&tip professor was a guy that was filthy rich, had accomplished everything in life und basically teaches in order to not get bored in his mansion. An incredibly nice and spergy (in a good professoral manner) guy, but i guess that he wouldn’t pay more than 20$ for a frag.
You can’t even combine the aesthetic with more expressive classical fragrances like MDCI IB, because it has too much personality.

>>15744612
This fun, nonchalant tropical Jacques Fath. Another good one from my recent sample haul.

>>15745672
I went to an ancient Oxbridge college and fellows there often wore really nice frags. I'm 100% positive I identified GIT on one of them. Half of them didn't care about attire though (especially those from STEM disciplines) but other half was quite fa&tip. Also the posh students I've met there typically were wearing whatever their mothers gifted them for Christmas.

>>15745678
These bottles are so ugly. The label in the middle looks vile. The good thing is that apparently caps are magnetic and ridiculously tough to open for a bottle of perfume, so it filters out all of the s*yboys from owning these frags automatically.

>>15745672
>AdPs, BdJ, Eau Sauvage, PR PH, Azzaro PH is basically an exhaustive list.
Do they really wear these or you're just making a list out of what you find /tip/. I'm in /tip/ very occasionally and it always seems to me like a bunch of teenagers thinking that they dress sharp but end up looking like reviewbrah.

>>15745725
It’s a list of what WOULD fit, as I said, I think most of the guys over there are spergs.

>>15745732
Ah, in this case I agree wholeheartedly with both of your points.

>>15745682

In UK Patagonia is the domain of bankers. Barbour is the British equivalent of it status-wise for posh kids.

Show me a more gay fragrance commercial than JPG Le Male.

is it bad to store fragrance bottles lying? should they always stand?

>>15745748
I don’t see a reason why it should be, as long as it doesn’t leak. But that’s a problem only for the surface it’s stored on

>>15745748
Not a problem at all. That's how they are stored for 95% of their lifetime in warehouses and stores anyway.

Post the most disgusting bottles you know.

>>15745750
>>15745753
alright thanks. was a bit worried the bigger surface exposed to the air inside the bottle (opened bottle) would weaken it like with wine.

As somebody that loves Eau Sauvage, and owns a bottle, can you see any sense in having AdP Colonia? I can get a bottle for £20, but that’s £20 towards a different fragrance.

>>15743832
Guys what the fuck is in this? I sprayed once on my wrist yesterday and I can still smell it today.

>>15745802
They do a similar thing but are different enough to justify having both if you like this style imo. That's a good deal, too.

>>15745758
Is that Eau de Period?

>>15745802
I’d get it, quite different imho. And you probably get more wear out of the AdP, certainly in hotter times.

>>15745812
It’s a very slightly used bottle from a friend. He wants more, but for me said he’d sell it for £20 to save the hassle of selling on eBay.

Thanks, I think I’ll go for it.

>>15745802
Absolutely. Imo AdP Colonia is the ultimate summer and hot weather fragrance while Eau Sauvage is the perfect "daily driver"

>>15745737
In Germany Patagonia is worn by young people in general. Funny how this differs

Who else here /psychopath/?

What are some of those Arab/Saudi fragrances? I teach labs at a state university, and these international fucks stink up my classrooms to high heaven. I fathom how they get it so strong, almost as if they bathe in it. A lot of them have mediocre aromas while others are actually pretty good. Looking to maybe get a few myself.

really want a bottle of Vetiver Extraordinaire now
took a sleeping pill at 7pm the other day and slept for 12 hours at my girlfriend's
she didn't leave the bed the entire time and said she was sniffing my neck nonstop
£145 for 30ml is a bit steep though, fucking hell

>>15746003
You fucking what? It’s £125 for 50ml on John Lewis right now.

>>15746021
thanks, that's still proper expensive though
I'll think about it

>>15746025
Yes, but have you considered this. If you bought it then you would have it.

How do y'all feel bou versace l'homme

>>15746031
No vetiver anon, but this is a hot take. As a response to your post I just ordered Chypre Siam (tested it extensively, it’s 20% of right now, shipping to Europe still horribly pricy). Might now blind buy night flyer, please advise: I love challenging frags and generally don’t worry about offending others. I feel like I have to own it for it’s artistic value alone, even if I didn’t wear it a single day.
