L'HOMME INFINIMENT

What are the best incense fragrances?

is the CdG bottle the true measure of being rich enough to have enough space? I literally can't store this shit anywhere, it just takes up so much space.

Is Creed Aventus still good in 2020?
I made it my signature scent almost a decade ago but I feel it doesn’t wow people anymore.

What a fucking simp

>>15746168
Still a very good scent, but it doesn’t wow people like it used to, because everyone smells it all the time now. Hell, you can get cheap shower gels that smell similar nowadays. Victim of its own success.

Also, just ordered my Bianchis! Went with Black Knight and Sticky Fingers. Might cop Etruscan Water later.

>>15746171
Welcome to the /frag/ Bianchi defense force. I think it makes 5 or 6 of us already.

>>15746191
He frags are all legitimately snice. I’ve smelled them all except for Tyger, and I liked them all. Deciding on just two was not easy! Very rare for a house to not have a single dud.

>>15746171
Good lad. It’s funny to think I originally intended to sample just one, bought the whole set and now there are several of us that are fans of her work. I bought Etruscan Water too and even though I said that’s it I’m seriously tempted by another for Christmas for myself. Black Knight is an obvious choice, but Lover’s Tale is also tempting.

>>15746206
The Lover's tale is one of the boldest but at the same time wearable I know. Literally a dirty sex in a bottle.

>>15746169
I don't see what's wrong with smelling like any of that. The so-called windexy "mop-water" flourescent-lit drugstore fragrances are a lost art form. Cool Water, Sung Homme, Roma Uomo, Drakkar Noir, Individuel etc are all god tier. With that being said I've been wearing Yatagan a lot recently too

>>15746223
Different strokes for different folks.

>>15746222
It's actually the longevity that puts me off. It took me four fucking days to get rid of it. Three showers and three fragrances sprayed over it and it just wouldn't stop.

>>15746236
Lol, it was similar on me. It's literally too strong. Lasts way longer than the OG Interlude but thankfully at least doesn't project as much. I have no idea how she's done it but it's also the first case for me of a fragrance being just too strong (not loud).

>>15746242
Yeah, I agree. But the smell is utterly divine. I'm also a big fan of Sticky Fingers, but I just wonder if the patchouli is a little too safe for her. If I buy another of hers I'd like it to be bold. I think Black Knight seems to be a perfect balance of elegant and bold.

still on the fence about buying vetiver Extraordinaire
I like it as does my gf but do I like it enough to spend £124 for 30ml?

>>15746264
50ml, mate. If you have to ask the answer is probably "no". If you really loved it you wouldn't be here trying to be convinced.

Guise I dress like christopha moltisanti and bought kouros. Anything more weareable during daytime in cold weather?

My sample of TDH just got here and I enjoy it a lot, it's got depth that Grey Vetiver was missing thanks to the pepper and orange.
I'm highly debating picking up a bottle, but I might try Montale's Red Vetyver as well as a comparison.

>>15746328
Good idea, you might want to look into Vetiver Extraordinaire, too if you want something a bit more pricier.

>>15746099
cdg-incense avignon

>>15746328
I'd buy it
it's pretty neat and cheap

Are any CDG or Zoologist perfumes worth blind buying? There is a decent sale of those two brands in a store I know, but I have no time to try anything out of those. I'm mostly interested in fragrances for spring/summer but I'll take any recs.

>>15746431
Absolutely not

>>15746431
I got a sample of Hummingbird today and it´s quite snice, the opening is a fruity feminine then in the drydown it becomes something like a fougere heavy on honey. To me it smells like a fancier Paco Rabanne pour homme

>>15746431
Are you talking about -20% in Mood Scent Bar? I've literally made an order seconds ago lol
>Fort and Manle Amber Absolutely (apparently it's supposed to be a better amber than PR Ambra Aurea)
>Fort and Manle MR. BOJNOKOPFF'S PURPLE HAT
>DS Durga MISSISSIPPI MEDICINE
>DS Durga AMBER KISO (because the anon who likes Amber Teutonic said that it's good)
>Menditorrosa OSANG
>Unum LAVS
>Nishane Ani (to try finally some Nishane that is hopefully not yet another clone)
>LM PATCHOULY BOHEME
>CdG Hinoki
>CdG Zagorsk
+ some little Christmas gifts like soaps or Papier d'Armenie incense cards.

>>15746432
Not even cdg 2?

>>15746469
How's the longevity? Does it seem too feminine to you?

>>15746493
I should say that all these frags are samples obviously.

>>15746494
CdG2 is among the safest, but I still wouldn’t say it’s safe.

>>15746432
>>15746494
He's trolling because you're a lazy fuck. Try CdG 2, Amazingreen and the new Bat&Beaver, Squid from warm leather Zootopians.

>>15746494
it has a moderate projection but i´m 6 hours in and it still lingers in the air. Only the opening could be considered feminine but it can be pulled off easily on a casual spring-summer day.

>>15746493
Yeah that's the place lol, I'll check those out
>>15746508
Sorry anon, don't hate me, I don't like buying samples :(

fragrances are so fucking disgusting, whenever i smell these faggot fumes, i am utterly repulsed by the person the miasma is emanating from

you lesbian liquid lovers are a bunch of fucking retards, i seriously hate you people so much. stop putting this garbage on your fucking weak pudgy bodies, you smell GAY

>>15746537
>you smell GAY
That is often the point

>>15746537
Sorry you're poor and/or non-white

>>15746528
>Yeah that's the place lol, I'll check those out
Are you Polish?

>>15746567
Yup

Hi fra, rate my parfums. From left to right:
-Wilde | Jardin d’Écrivains
-Sacred Wood | by Kilian
-Cuir Cavalier | MDCI
-Oud Ispahan | Dior

Also, does someone knows a parfum similar to Leather Oud by Dior?. I smelled it a while ago and it is fantastic, like a man's body, somewhat animalistic but elegant

>>15746431
I wouldn’t blind buy Zootopians. They have some really great scents, but none of them are really “safe”. They’re all relatively polarizing (some extremely so). They’re absolutely worth trying, and I suspect you’ll find at least a few you really like, but if there’s any house you really need to sample beforehand, it’s Zootopian.

>>15746541
>>15746565
Don’t give the sperg (you)s. He’s just trying a new angle. It’s very obvious b8.

>>15746583
Solid rotation. Have you tried other MDCIs?

I'm slowly going through my Jacques Fath Essential Line samples and just stumbled upon something that all you fig lovers (and I know there are quite a few here) might find interesting. Vers Le Sud is a lovely aquatic fig fragrance with a big dose of ambroxan. It wears like a non-obnoxious crowdpleaser like Sauvage but unlike Dior it's really snicely balanced out. The aquatic feel of it is built around some pleasant green notes and saltiness so it doesn't smell neither trivial nor like a hardcore sea-like scents like Acqua di Sale or Fathom V. Really safe, fun but classy scent. I'd highly recommend it to everyone who loves fig or just wants some easy to wear but non-routine nor overplayed warm weather scent. Overall, I've tried 10 out of 12 scents out of this line and every time something was standing out, it was one of the initial 4 scents created by Cécile Zarokian. This women is talented.

I'm thinking about buying encre noire but i have no clue how it smells and getting a sample where i live will cost like 15 usd
should i buy it? is it good?

I really want to sample 2-3 imaginary authors fragrance, which of them would you recommend I try? Anything besides bull's blood, anyway.

>>15746901
Do you like vetiver and are looking for a dark, edgy fragrance? Yes? Then I guess you can blindbuy it.

Jeremybros! He hasn't posted in a few days. Are you worried? I need to know if he still loves God. POWER STRENGTH BABY

>>15747054
He put a like on one of my comments on an old video so he's probably just in the middle of an intense "stretching" session.

Dare I say based

>>15746060
Why can you wear eau sauvage parfum in cold weather but not eau sauvage

>>15747251
I've only smelled the Parfum version but I'm guessing because it's denser and more "resinous" whatever that means

what should I wear if I'm pic related

>>15746583
Great quality and range for a compact roto

>>15747342

>>15747251
Original Eau Sauvage can't project through layers.

Eau Sauvage Parfum can project through fucking drywall with enough sprays. More so 2012.

Wake up babe new zootopian

Ordered from scentsplit right before they released their 20% off coupon because I'm a fucking idiot.

SSBF2020

It’s like what? 10th Zootopian released this year? I’m not a business person but I think it’s a straight way downhill

Rate my growing collection anons. I'm 36 btw.

>>15747913
Great for the laydeez re-ekshuns. Respect to you, respect to Jesus.

>>15747913
Jesus, r/fragrance is such a laughingstock.

Based Italianon

Thanks for the comments, I have only tried Péché Cardinal. I want to try the others from the range but Jovoy's never has them in their try program.
Actually I'm from Chile and I'm currently studying in Grenoble, near the French Alps.

Had a few different Maison Margiela samples laying around that I had not tested before.
Absolutely loved By The Fireplace and Under The Lemon Tree.

Creed is based at eBay prices. Viking and Royal Oud are very nice. Aventus is good and a sexy female friend of mine loves it but I can't wear it without feeling like one of those fragbro faggots who says things like "the fragrance game" or "I gotta get my nose on that" or "beastmode".

>>15748071
>mvq I hear somebody say “fragrance game” or “juice”.

>>15748049
>By The Fireplace
Now try Cloon Keen Castana if you want a legit good and not synthetic chestnut scent.
>>15748071
>Creed is based at eBay prices.
Enjoy your fakes.

>>15748071
>you gotta get your nose on this!!!

fucking C R I N G E

>>15748094
>Enjoy your fakes
You don't get fakes from sellers with thousands of sales and 100% positive feedback. Keep wasting money.

>>15748164
You do get fakes from sellers with thousands of sales and 100% positive feedback. If you were not a little dumbo, you'd know that if you got an ebay business account you can retract negative comments provided you returned the client's money. That's how all these fake decanters selling BR540 or Creeds for couple bucks per 10ml operate.

SOTD: Nawab of Oudh. It's like listening to a full orchestra. HOOOOOHHHHHH What are you wearing lads?

>>15748233
tobacco rose today. love this shit and feel like wearing it all the time

Are there any nice soaps/shower gels that are a step up from Old Spice/Lynx? I bathe in between shifts so by the time I reapply a frag for my evening shift the risk of scent clashing has all but gone.

>>15748181
I don't think that's true. It's never happened to me, at least, and that's after right many purchases.
>>15748233
Nawab of Oudh is really good but it does feel intensely synthetic to me.
>>15748253
Tobacco Rose is good, but I like House of Matriarch's Kazimi more. If you like rose you have to try Kazimi.

>>15748281
Pure olive oil soap with minimal ingredients and no fragrance. It has a very subtle smell that multiple women have told me they liked.

>>15748281
Could try Cremo. Personal favorite is Blue Cedar & Cypress.

The new Amouage release "Zwischenspiel für Klarinette" tries to capture the essence of 19th century German art, music, and philosophy while championing the idea behind "Interlude".
This captivating fragrance takes the young Goethe's taedium vitae, Mendelsohn-Bartholdy's longing for peace in nature, and Hegel's academic anaemia and distilles them in a gorgeous sea blue bottle.
But be not mistaken, much like the Marxian critique of these, these concepts are not simply directly translated into individual notes but rather "turned from their heads on their feet".
Notes of burnt linen, rotten "Prinzregenten" cake and spoiled absinthe point towards things to come for Europe's middle power.
Limited edition only, distributed by our exclusive partner Fragrance One.

>>15748283
>Nawab of Oudh is really good but it does feel intensely synthetic to me.
Interesting, where did you tried it? I've smelled probably around 2k fragrances at this point and all of OJs (but the newest line) were exceptional in terms of quality and ingredients.
>>15748380
Now this is what I call shitposting kek.

>>15748380

>>15748281
probably something unscented so it doesn't clash with your fragrance
sanex 0 maybe

>>15748281
>a step up from Old Spice
No such thing.

>>15746169
>Wasting all his money on expensive frags just to smell good at the mechanic shop he works at and for when he's alone in bed yanking it to his ex-wife

Truly sad. And I know from when I used to follow this loser that he buys his personal products from the chain drug store in Canada.

And don't (you) me just to say "a hurr durr niche fragrances are for myself and no one else", autists and solipsists

>>15748601
>And don't (you) me just to say "a hurr durr niche fragrances are for myself and no one else", autists and solipsists
I think we all agree that he has his priorities wrong (and I'm one of nichefags).

Is it just me or does CDG 2 man have very weak projection? I think I'm going to sell it. I rarely smell it on myself. It smells really good if you put your nose up to it though.

>>15748700
All of CdG do. Get Bentley Absolute instead.

>>15748049
>By The Fireplace
Really? Way too much smoke for me. Smells like my clothes after a night at the campfire.

also, what we wearing today fens? Montblanc Legend for me

>>15748233
my sotd
it's like walking thru a fir forrest
why is geza schön so based?

Perfume rec for someone who likes it androgynous and flowery but just enough heavier stuff for it to smell manly

>>15749000
When I think about it I actually have a beard oil that already smells quite woody - so a fully androgynous perfume is fine

>>15748965
The funny thing about him is that Iike a lot of his work for other brands: almost all of his OJs, Kinsky but hate most of his own releases for Escentric Molecules. The same case as with Kurkdjian.

>>15749000
Dior Homme Intense, Auphorie Miyako, Le Parfum de Therese

>>15749018
Thanks :)

>>15748965
Which one is this?

>>15748739
The head is absolutely face melting, like putting your head straight into a smoker with some well seasoned meat inside of it . Not sure if I would wear in anywhere else than alone at home during autumn / winter time though.

How are AdP products that aren’t fragrances? I can get 100ml of Colonia for a reasonable price, but for £10 more I can get a Colonia deodorant and a shower gel. Worth it?

Does anybody know any fragrances that are similar to the White Tea soap from Westin hotels? It's sort of like Dior Homme Cologne but a bit different. Shit is absolutely heavenly

>>15749240
>Colonia deodorant and a shower gel.
enjoy your 15 and 2minutes of smelling them respectively

>>15749280
So that’s a no then. I’ll stick to the cheap stuff.

>>15746901
nooo dont blindbuy!!
i thought i would love it but it smells like spinach to me

Fuck sake, I’ve just googled “Zootopian sample set”.

>>15749388
Gay

All of these /frag/ memes are gay

"Snice"
"MDCI Syndicate"
"Buzz Gang"
"Zootopian"
"HOOOHH"

Gay

Why are they so bad?

>>15749494
Which ones you didn't like? Fathom V is one of the most unusual, dark aquatic fragrances that I know of.

>>15749473
>>15748932
You can just go to reddit buddy.

>>15749473
M8, you’ve been trying for like a week already and no one’s taking the b8. Take the hint.

>>15749538
I think i like Vi et Armis and Terror and Magnificence the most, The Coeur de Noir and Tonnerre. I just couldn't do Fathom V and Rake and Ruin, they were just too abrasive.
I haven't tried Iron Duke and Lignum Vitae yet because they were shattered when my discovery box got here and those were the ones i was most curious about unfortunately.

>>15749614
They are very conceptual, I would not wear most of these personally but for me it was an interesting experience to try them out anyways. Fathom V would make a good, reflective fragrance for mourning after a loved one. It used to be a tradition in my culture to dress all black for couple months but it's hard to do it working in a professional environment.
>I haven't tried Iron Duke and Lignum Vitae yet because they were shattered when my discovery box got here and those were the ones i was most curious about unfortunately.
Ahhh, it sucks. You should complain to whoever you bought them from. It never happens if package is secured well with bubble wrap.

>>15749553
That's the first time I've posted anything like that ever. Maybe other people have the same idea. 4chan cliques are always awful.

>>15749553
Yeah, I also noticed the sperg trying all possible angles just to stir some water here.

"our community is great and we are right about everything so obviously all detractors are the same person"
Lol!

>>15749659
Yeah sure buddy, there was no mention here of MDCI Syndicate for a month and Buzz Gang even longer but you spontaneously had this reflection about them posting something like that for the first time ever. Just in case: I'm not gonna reply further, so don't waste your time on me.

>>15749657
Yeah these might be a little too off the wall for me on the whole, but it is an interesting experience, because I mean Rake and Ruin really does smell like what the name entails.

>You should complain to whoever you bought them from.
I complained to Beaufort since i bought it from them, and it was packaged really well with all kinds of bubble wrap, but there is a lot of room for the vials to move around in the discovery box itself though, so buyer be warned i guess, but they are sending me some new samples because of it.

>>15749669
Do you know what's really gay? Being so obsessed about a small general on 4chan to post some strawman baits and poor trolls just to discredit it. You clearly spend a lot of time reading and thinking about this thread. To whom do you want to discredit it though? Regular posters don't give a fuck about you and newcomers are welcomed and their questions get answered if they're not idiots. Worry not /frag/ was here before you came here and is going to be here long after you give up. It's one of very few solid threads on this shit board that /fa/ has became.

>>15749735
I'm a regular poster and I'm usually very constructive, giving recommendations, first impressions, etc but I just hate clique memes. It's as simple as that.

>>15749735
Don’t give him (you)s. He’s not going to respond with anything useful, he’ll just shitpost more and try to draw you into derailing the thread. Don’t let him do it.

>>15749000

>>15749809
>I'm a regular poster
Are you? Name all fragrances then.

what up /fa/
was just wondering if any of yall tried any of the scents from the jo malone x huntsman line and your thoughts on them.

also, anyone know of any good black friday/cyber monday deals going on right now?

>>15749878
I tried all of them about 2 years ago and they're just ok. The whisky one is the best. There's something too sweet about the whisky & pimento mix though. Performance is shit.

>>15749473
Internet memes in general are pretty gay
Caring about 4chan/forums is really gay and autistic

With that said, we have the best memes in the fragrance community (which is incredibly gay)

>>15749889
damn, unfortunate. i was looking at the whiskey & cedarwood one too, along with their wood sage & sea salt and their oud & bergamont, but was most interested in their whiskey & cedarwood. not surprised that the performance was shit, unfortunately

>>15749917
Basically I felt like it's Jo Malone's way of trying to stay relevant in the market where the best selling fragrances are deep orientals and woody fragrances with their otherwise light and feeble watery scents. They're not bad but you can get so many better things in 2020 that I really it's not worth getting any of these.

does anyone else use deo spray versions of frags for times when they want to just do a light spray all over after a bath to unwind with?

Want to buy perfume as a present to a female friend, was thinking between ysl black opium or Alien. Is there something else in this price range?

>>15749984
Not really, I just spray less.

>>15749988
Alien is risky.

Lol fragrances are gay. I’m not a faggot lol.

Dear /frag/, what would you recommend for someone who likes it woody, warm and rather comfy, but still manly enough? I want something cozy for this helluva winter

>>15750220
This. Guys, stop using fragrances. It’s such a turn off. Just shower regularly with soap and water, wash your hair with shampoo, use light deodorant for underarms and wear clean clothes. That’s it. A clean and simple guy is a turn on. Fragrances are not.

i bet you wear makeup

Why do I have the feeling that it's only one guy shitposting here while replying to himself as if someone's taken his shitty bait?

I have a partial bottle of Bvlgari Pour Homme Soir coming in later today. For now, I'm trying out some of the samples I got a few days ago. Currently wearing Tea For Two. Smells nice so far, hopefully it stays that way.

>>15750362
That’s exactly what it is. Probably the same autist who’s been shitting up our threads for like a year now just throwing a tantrum because it’s not working anymore.

>>15750343
This.
I wear shit like Quorum, British Sterling, Dakkar Noir, Polo (green), Gucci Guilty Absolute, and Aramis Havana. I wear them for me not for compliments from women.

Guys, it’s the same autist. Stop responding. He’s just gonna come in and claim you’re coping, and people will probably take the b8. We were doing well, just ignore him. /frag/ is legitimately the best it’s been all year. Don’t let him take that away from us.

>>15750371
>>15750653
I'm one of the multiple people in this thread who sometimes "stirs shit up" (usually calling out bullshit, never shitposting just to shitpost) and the few times that other people get blamed for what I've said or I get blamed for what others have said really makes me laugh. It's always "that autist" or "that schizo"

In very tired and having a hard time explaining myself but tldr I think it's funny that you idiots ALWAYS think that anyone who says no-no things in the thread is the same person.

Threads moving slower these days with lockdowns, rarely going out and everyone wearing masks. Mostly just the dedicated few who like to wear them no matter what

First snow here today... Interlude time

Guys I smelled valentino uomo intense and it is too leathery for me at first but then it's sweeter and it last pretty long, la nuit is a big let down for me, I used ultramale and im more into sweet type of fragrance but I also didn't like le male that much, guerlain ideal has something in it that irritates my nose at the first. Now im thinking about trying givenchy gentelman, code, code absolu and acqua di gio any another proposition?

I got a package

What do you think it is?

>>15751114
see: >>15750284 VUI is pretty much DHI but smoother. its worth a sniff. skip adg and go straight to adg profumo if you're gonna sniff it. givenchy pi and montblanc individuel are both sweet to me, you might like them

>>15751154
i meant DHI is smoother, sorry a bit drunk. also i sniffed my friend's fourreau noir a few weeks ago and i remember it smelling very sweet. i wouldnt buy it at all but its a very warm, comfy tonka

>>15751150

Btw this Molton Brown is a very snice green-fresh scent.

>>15751244

>>15751209

I wish I was you. I have 80 bottles, it is noon and I still haven’t decided what to wear today.

>>15750362
Really enjoyed my sample of Bvlgari Pour Homme Soir. Somehow I got bubble gum from it, but no other reviews seem to pick that up.

>>15750056

What frags do I cop if I want a cedar heavy scent?

>>15751322
Ormonde Jane Man. It’s like Pinocchio is rape fucking you in the ass.

>>15751303
I used to be at 40+ bottles at some point 2 years ago but realized that I don't really reach 90% of them more than a few times a year. It also felt weird to have so many bottles (but that's a personal thing - I hate hoarding). Since then I had sold all of the bottles I just liked not loved and it feels so much better to have at most 10 frags + samples/decants. From now on it's a 1 comes - 1 goes rule. I still have ACCD/Ma Nishtana/Winter Palace/Ambra Aurea on my whish list (or just rebuying a bottle of Chypre Palatin) but I need to finish one of these first.

OJ-Ormond Man Parfum 50%

Has anyone of you gentlemen tried Tiziana Terenzi Laudano Nero?

Might wear TDH today, lazy day at home writing, playing vidja and drinking mochas.

>>15751550
I am wearing TDH today, one of my colleagues at work told me I smell like a prosecutor. I don’t know what to think since we do manufacturing

>>15750860
its probably the dude always bringing edrama from utube and reddit over here, the one that posted all the graphics on reddit was "montale sucks" and were all familiar with that fukstick, right? Someone enjoys stirring the pot, not me though, fanny faggot trannie jannies at least know that.

>>15751332
> don’t reach 90% of them
My problem that I love them all except two Guerlains which are from a bad batch.

>>15751534
It is good per se. however, unlike any other perfume, Laudano is a 100% match for a slightly drunk 50 y.o. accountant wearing smeared lipstick at new year party

>>15751188
oh thats really nice, i love the little roller ball, the sprayer on those it kinda weird and feels a bit cheap, mine somewhat leaks, its always so oily on the cap.

>>15750049
When did Alex Jones start posting here?

>>15751651
Perfect Laudano description lol, a picture of an old drunk transvestite is what comes up to mind when you try it. Still, I like it a lot

There's an impostor among us: /frag/ edition.

Is there anything similar to Dior Homme, I guess pre 2010 (before they switched the straw inside the flask from metal to black plastic) out there?

SOTD: HdP 1740. Great stuff, if Les Jeux Sont Faits were a fougere that's how it'd smell. What are you wearing lads?

>>15751874
I have DH from 2008 (in 40ml travel bottles) and the recent formulation of DH “Original.” I do not see any point absolutely to hunt old formulations. The recent is good. All this bs about how good DH was before started by re**itors and should die there.

>>15751905
Creed has seriously ruined the mainstream niche fans because now they think that every brand has as shitty batch consistency as Creed

received my sample of pic related
I really like it, but im not 100% sure if i should go for a bottle..
any other vetivers with better performance?

>>15752214
Buy it. You won't regret having a masterpiece in your collection. If you want a beastmode vetiver, you could try Nishane Sultan Vetiver, but that one is much more expensive.

Wearing a sample of pasha de cartier parfum I got at the mall it reminds me of the beeswax candle I used to make with my mom. Side note: is there a frag out there that smells similar to skin bracers aftershave. I like the smell but its weak sauce

>>15752237
the fragrances i love the most are the ones that have such nostalgic links, and I think what's amazing about fragrances is there certainly is some fragrance out there that you will find something in when smelling it >:)
sotd: wonderwood

>>15752233
well thanks anon!
found it for around €40/100ml incl shipping
imma order it!

>>15751209
>A man with evidently very good taste.

You've made me dig it out AGAIN from the bottom of the discard pile just to triple check...
Nope its still fucking awful.

>>15746056
I can't for the life of me find a good non-tobacco male scent for winter/christmas, any favorites you guys have? Kinda enjoyed Eau De Baux.

has anyone tried these?

>>15751209
As a poorfag who doesn't want to slip down the rabbit hole of niche frags, I've only sampled ESP out of your list but judging by that alone I'd say you've done a decent job there, anon..

Hi /frag/ today i received December samples from Jovoy's. I was nicely surprised they added 3 gift samples to the order, I ordered the right ones.
Where should I start? from left to right:

-Feu Primitif / Jardin de France (black pepper, rose, incense)
-Ligno / Jeroboam (saffron, ambergris, patchouli)
-Divina / Divina Terra (rose, redcurrant, oakmoss)
-Ambre Loup / Rania J (spices, laudanum, tonka bean)
-Peau de Bête / Liquides Imaginaires (leather, hay, castoreum)
-Mimosa Tanneron / Perris Montecarlo (mimosa, hawthorn, musk)

Okay lads I'm buying a fuckton of samples. Looking for fresh stuff for summer. I want something that's a bit of a crowd pleaser, but not something that's super common or going to make me smell like everyone else. I'm in my mid 20's, not trying to come off as particularly refined or sophisticated, but obviously I don't want to smell like a teenage boy either. Any recommendations? Designer is probably best for what I'm aiming for but I'm very open to niche suggestions as well.

>>15752500
l e g g

>>15752500

Finally compared Night Flyer to my Bat decant, and I can't detect a meaningful difference. Everyone who has smelled it on me also says it is the same. Any opinions from others here who have compared them? Always hated not getting a full bottle of Bat, so I suppose I'm going to buy a full of Night Flyer.

>>15747880
I makes me wonder if he won't begin phasing older ones out.

I bought a sample of this back in September 2019 and I remember completely hating it. I just found the thread in the archive where I posted about it because I wanted to see what I wrote about it at the time and it turns out that I actually bought a full fucking bottle and completely forgot lmao. I bought it after spraying the sample on a strip and not my skin for some reason. I returned the bottle and kept the little sample and never sprayed it again.

I just sprayed it to remind myself about it, and I still hate it deep down, but I think I can sort of appreciate it a little bit more. Literally all I can smell is pissed-on urinal cake and it's fucking awful, but it's making me feel nostalgic for being a teenager and getting disgustingly drunk in dingy pubs around Christmas time. Maybe the lockdown is just getting to me

>>15752214
It's class in a bottle but performance was so-so on me, too. There's quite a few vetivers on >>15746060
>>15752492
I've had this discussion here quite a few times and even now after smelling probably about 50+ rose+ouds at this point, this one is still the most masculine and best vibing with me of them all. Is it synthetic? Yes. Am I aware that there is not one iota of real oud in it? Yes. I've smelt many higher quality rose+ouds but they were either too feminine and sweet or there was something else not clicking with me. Whereas, every time I spray this Monntale while wearing a turtleneck and a nice coat on a cold winter day it instantly makes me feel seductive and like I emit a certain confidence aura. Coincidentally, it's my most complimented frag by women (most likely due to the fact how loud it is and how I feel like wearing it). It was also a X-mass gift from my ex-gf, so selling it would be just tacky but thankfully I like it a lot. I will most likely not rebuy it as I'd prefer having a bottle of Chypre Palatin back in my roto (or Ma Nishtana) for winter but I can imagine replacing it with POAL, that I also enjoy severely, if I wanted to get another 'oudy'-rose (but which is sadly more feminine than BA).
>>15752593
I'll be definitely rebuying this one once I finish this bottle. I was thinking about ESP recently and if I could pick just one fragrance for the rest of my life it would be probably it not the niche stuff you see there. It's so gorgeous and versatile.
>>15752500
Fuck, I'm a sucker for tall, slim girls
>>15752596
You did quite good. Divina Terra is a clone of Interlude (not very surprising given that Terenzi is standing behind it). Peau de Bete is probably one of the most disgusting animalic fragrance I tried. I got it as a free sample and due to my poor French translated it as 'beautiful skin' (don't ask) and let my gf test it after she asked me about the samples. I told her to get a shower seconds after we smelled it.

Red Tobacco and Carlisle are 98% the same fragrance. The people complaining that Red Tobacco is "too harsh" while simultaneously praising Carlisle as one of the greatest tobacco's out there are deluded or being paid by PdM

>>15752500
This must be edited. A leg-to-torso ratio like that isn't anatomically possible.

>>15752923
Agreed.

>>15752978
Not really. She obviously has long legs but also her skirt is short and sitting very high in waist, barely covering her ass, she has high heels and this is exactly the angle at which legs look longest.
>t. dated his fair share of high fashion models who always were asking to take photos of them from this angle

>>15752583
No but bottles are gorgeous (as always with Lalique)

>>15752923
Well it is the same so yeah get a bottle of you liked bat. Smells exactly the same to me

>>15752968

What a crappy cyber Monday can’t find chergui cheaper than 75 and can’t find orange soleia on sale

ZHe bought? Water it down

>>15753022
kek

Is current Terre D'Hermes a good buy or have there been reformulations over its life such that an older bottle would be better?

Also, sampling Fat Electrician; are all Vetivers this amazing?

>>15751652
I haven't put it there yet but I've heard similar things about Profumum bottles. Pretty shit attention to such a crucial detail for bottles that otherwise cost 220EUR. I had a vintage Chergui bottle which was the same - you had a cork and a separate sprayer and it'd never leaked.

>>15753050
This anon is right >>15752020 Don't listen to retards online talking left and right about reformulation just because the smell is different from how they had remembered it. Contrary, I know reformulations that made fragrances more likeable and just all-round better, so it's not like it's a bad thing in general. If you like the scent then don't listen to some idiots whining online. To give you some examples: I prefer the 2017 Eau Sauvage Parfum over the 2012 version by a mile and it was an absolute reformulation that changed the scent completely. Another, less extreme example: MDCI Chypre Palatin. One blogger made a campaign against it based solely on the fact that the color of perfume is lighter but guess what. I don't give a fuck about her whining, I literally finished my ''''''new''''''' ''''''''''reformulated'''''''''''' bottle over like 4 months and gonna buy another one in future. I also think that she just ordinarily lies and doubles down on it as Claude from MDCI made a statement refuting all of her claims and from the little I know this guy from exchanging some emails with him I believe him not some rando fragrance boomer reviewer.

>>15753074
>>15753050
Also re: vetivers. You should try LAP Timbuktu next bro. My favorite HOOOOHHHH-tier vetiver.

>>15753074
Not to mention, Kafkaesque has since been exposed as not knowing what the fuck she’s talking about, so I’d say based Claude is vindicated. Plus I’ve owned bottles of both supposed “formulations” and they smell identical to me.

>>15752237

NO, NO REFORMULATIONS BAD, IF PEOPLE SAY ON INTERNET THAT IT'S WORSE SO IT MUST BE
Btw we released a new OG PRE-REFORMULATED STRENGTH version for bargain £380 for 100ml. Just give me your monnney.

I am ready to have sex

It’s such a fun fragrance. Every time I D O U S E D myself in it I felt like a young god.

>>15752682
I’m 27 and Xerjoff Mefisto Gentiluomo checks all of your boxes for me

>>15753219
i can't imagine going more than 2 sprays, but the scent trail of it smells so nice.

>>15753237
It’s just a fucking good smelling barbershop fragrance that I use for professional environment. From designer stuff try Dior Homme Cologne, Carven L’Eau Intense and maybe Ferrari Bright Neroli (but this one is a bit dress-uppy)

>>15753243
I’m guilty of spraying way more than two stays as it was so fun to wear and catch wafts of but desu two sprays under shirt do the job and it’s really pleasant and tamed then. My ex-gf really liked it on me when I wasn’t overspraying it

>>15752993
>there are people out there who not dated their fair share of high fashion models
Why did they not already end it?

>>15753132
Is this real wtf

>>15752993

W2c koufos sample in canada?

Wtf I love this

Speaking of Kouros, how come it's to difficult to find in real life? I've been in a lot of YSL stores and YSL sections in department stores and it seems like none of them ever carry Kouros but almost all of their other scents. How come?

R u getting it

You joke but it's actually pretty good

Probably high functioning autism like most of us or severe autism like the spergs in here

>>15753369
Yes, the least needed release in history. Had both new and old Interlude and the difference is negligible. The new one is still a monster. But idiots keep whining about a reformulation so they decided to monetise that. Pretty smart move but it only shows how idiotic the entire reformulations thing got.

Strange. In scandinavia they carry for example the whole Le Vestiaire Collection but no Kouros

bros it's the first day of summer where I live and it can get hot and humid here. I'm looking for a coconut-y, suntan lotion-like fragrance. maybe subtly sunscreen adjacent. Something tropical but creamy and not too sweet. Saltwater/ocean notes could be nice as long as they aren't too briney/seaweed-like. Possibly citrus but not lime. Do you guys have any recommendations?

VIW, Soleil Blanc

I enjoy the coffee/lavender mix in Pure Tonka, but I slept on it and it's hard to find at a reasonable price.
Likewise I appreciate the cacao in Dior Homme, are there any toffee or caramel heavy frags that are masculine enough to wear daily without getting odd looks at work?

>>15746056
What is better Dior Homme Parfume? Or Dior Homme Intense?

I bought the latter but might return it

>>15754191
Jacques Fath Curaçao Bay is precisely what you are looking for

>>15754425

>>15754425
sniff both and answer the question for yourself? why would you ask us which is better when its something relative to your tastes

stop fucking blind buying SHIT FUCK

This might sound stupid but i do enjoy catching the odd whiff of a generic frag now and then, something about dried down BDC or CK Escape the morning after on your shirt that's nice in a basic, generic "musky" smell kinda way.

>>15754417
What's your budget

>>15754508
I could reasonably go up to maybe £120 for 100ml but i'd have to love it a lot, being a poorfag with uncertainty about pay/hours over corona

>>15754512
>are there any toffee or caramel heavy frags that are masculine enough to wear daily without getting odd looks at work
With this budget try Olympic Orchids Woodcut and Aomassai 10 Pierre Guillaume. Both are gorgeous masculine, woody gourmannds.

>>15751317
I have floris no 89, smells kinda citrusy, but mainly of incense like a church, personally i love it and would recommend.

How the fuck are you supposed to choose a fragrance that suits your personality/clothing style

>>15754702
step one: have a distinct personality
if step one fails, get sauvage, bdc or aventus

>>15753871
Breddy good. Quite a few from that collection are great.

>>15754702
What are you trying to project with your clothing? Figure out what fragrance does the same thing for you I suppose. I've mentally assigned everything in my collection moods and scenarios. I don't think most people dress or feel the same every day.

>>15754832
idk I dress like this but I'm an ottermode 20something postgrad with glasses
as far as personality goes I'm >>15747342

Need classy/TIP/preppy high end normie-accepted frag. 25/yo. Was thinking chanel egoïste platinum, Dior Homme, or YSL l’homme or the like. Suggestions/ opinions?

>>15754904
Those are all fine, but you should become a KOUROSPOSTER like the rest of us.

Habdan is the best pdm. By a lot

>>15754702
Have a personality, figure out what kind of style/colors/fabrics you like, chances are your style is somewhat related to your ideal lifestyle. From there it should be easy to find a signature scent that projects this same persona. Then branch out and find different fragrances for different occasions/seasons/events/outfits...


On another note has anyone tried Honey oud by floris? Might just blind buy it cause they're sold out of the little sample bottles

>>15754562
That's simple: buy Encre Noire

>>15755044
But how does that go? If I usually wear a leather jacket then I should go buy Fahreneit or what? Every thing I read about every masculine fragrance is fucking ambiguous man, it's all like "this is fodlr a man that knows what he wants and takes it but is sophisticated at the same time" and shit like that.

The community on Fragrantica and lots of people here all complain about “my cologne only lasts 6 hourssssss”

I honestly can’t stand super long lasting stuff. Stuff that lasts a long time you can usually smell from a mile away. I also like reapplying through the day.

I like both Creed and Tom Ford scents but both require like 4 showers to truly get rid of the scents. My jackets still smell like Tom Ford Oud Wood for like a week afterwards which makes it hard to switch up the scent.

>>15756729
How many spritzes? I typically do one, unless it's a particularly weak fragrance in cold conditions.
