>>15766042
he got his gf pregnant and suggested she terminate the pregnancy which almost caused them to break up necessitating an extended expensive vacation followed by a marriage proposal that he now regrets so he's lying low until his next album drops in march

The new oriental Ormonde Jayne line - idk why did they break with the typical OJ DNA. Also it's funny how unremarkable most of these are given that the brand was put on the fragrance map by their oriental fragrances.

Best is Black Orchid, worst I’m not sure about because I’ve pretty much only sampled niche this year.

>>the best&worst niche fragrance you put your nose on in 2020
Best is difficult. Maybe Etruscan Water (since I bought a bottle), but Anatolia by Prin is also incredible, just very expensive relatively speaking. Le Parfum de Therese is also utterly sublime. Worst is ELDO Rien Intense Incense. Just no. Absolutely not.

Is it stupid to wear "old smelling" frag even tho i am young (21), the perfumer in question would be floris 89?

>>15766171
Yes, they are allowed. Can you post a photo of you holding the bottle with your feet now please?

I want a perfume that smells like rum/chocolate

Tried two new Bianchis (so far I've tried Under My Skin, The Lover's Tale, The Black Knight, Etrscan Water and love/like all of them).
>The Dark Side
Incensy spices. Spices remind me of Arquiste Nanban. Iris makes it elegant and reserved not yet another inviting, a comfy spicy-oriental overall.
>Lost in Heaven
Fucking wow. It smells like a classic Guerlain reinterpreted for modern times. The opening is ambery castoreum (that doesn't reek at all but is rather just pleasantly animalic) with some many-faceted floral orchestra and sweetness coming from beeswax. This screams class and sophistication. Feminine leaning and oldschoolish. It gets stinkier in the middle but drydown is the pleasant powdery Bianchi DNA with some sweetness to it.
Solid releases but they don't come close to Etruscan Water/The Black Knight. I'm not surprised though, I know notes I like quite well already and there was a reason I haven't ordered these two in my first Bianchi sample haul. I can get a 1ml sample of Tyger Tyger for 5EUR and strongly consider it.

>>15766452
If you're looking for rum+chocolate then you probably want something like Black Phantom By Kilian but if I were you I would get Insomnia Faviol Seferi which is a heavily inspired fragrance by Black Phantom but has rum and chocolate notes tweaked up. It's very gourmandy, you got a lot of caramel, vanilla in it too, but thankfully it's balanced with some darker woody notes that work well with booziness of rum, so it doesn't smell like diabetes. You can also get Insomnia 3-4x times cheaper than Black Phantom.
If you're looking for these ingredients independently though then these are my favorites.
Rum:
>1740 Marquis de Sade Histoires de Parfums
smoky rum, leather, bitter immortelle but this austere side is balanced with some lighter sweet undertones, it has an overall oriental-fougere feel to it
>Straight to Heaven By Kilian
lots of earthy woody notes with noticeable rum to it
Chocolate:
>Vetiver Oriental Serge Lutens
a rich oriental chypre with a very prominent vetiver and dark chocolate notes
>Pardon Nasomatto
oudy dark chocolate served with some warm spices

>>15766482
Perfect, I'll try them out.

Based, gay /frag/ harassers

Guys, I'm looking for a scent for a girl, she's in her early twenties and wore Dior's Hypnotic Poison and Agent Provocateur Fatale Intense. She also liked my decant of Tiziana Terenzi Al Contrario, so obviously she's into gourmand type shit. She also often wears my pour un homme de caron
Please throw me some ideas what i could get for her for Christmas, I'm a poorfag so preferably something from designer price range, let's say nothing more expensive than Serge Lutens

So, I was watching this amateur porn scene and the girl was super hot, but I couldn’t get into it because at one point, you could see this couple’s frag shelf, and it was the most generic pleb shit out there. 1 Million, Pink Sugar, etc.

I shall not waste my jizz on noselets.

>>15766769
You could just get her something from Montale like Chocolate Greedy, they do gourmands which girls seem to love and they're reasonably priced, also kind of fun borderline novelty so good for someone her age. Also heard good things about gourmands from Mancera and Mugler (especially mens range) but haven't tried so can't comment.

I sprayed layton on my pillow and made my girl squirt like a fountain this evening. Incredibly based and vanillapilled

>>15765996
posted in the old thread, but I'll post here too. What are the honest to god odds that Creed and other houses are actually using real ambergris? Even at niche price points, international law combined with the already preposterous rarity of the substance makes it seem like a consistent supply is virtually impossible. But so many houses list it in their notes. Are all these houses ACTUALLY using it, or is there a dirty little secret in the industry?

Red Tobacco. It's not bad, but it's redundant given that I own Carlisle. It's strong enough to pull compliments in masked America though, so there's that
>>the best&worst designer fragrance you put your nose on in 2020
Best: L'aventure Knight (dirt cheap and actually decent GIT clone. Apart from funding terrorism, I can't honestly find a downside. Perfect gym scent) worst: AdG Profundo. I don't know if there's something wrong with me but I cannot smell this fragrance after five minutes, and even in that five minutes it just smells like chemicals and salt. And it's not Covid, I can smell everything else.

>>15766200
Brando agreed to being in movies predicated on not having to wear pants. Not making fun of him, this is objectively based

>>15767257
Careful, some of them list "amber" which usually means ambroxide. Otherwise yeah I think there might be some secret. Wouldn't be surprised to one day hear that they were somehow farming ambergris by leaving squid out in the sea and then waiting for them to shit it out. Guy round here found lump of ambergris and sure enough he got like 10k for it, so perfumers probably use fuck all of it in order to turn a profit on those kind of prices

>>15766678
this is pasta but there is something deeply unpleasant about the BR540 deep drydown. When everything else is gone it smells the way earwax tastes

>>15767292
Yeah, it's not so much the price, it's the objective scarcity. I just don't see how it can be found in quantities large enough for the supply you'd need to have to produce the amount of juice a company like creed produces in any given year

>>15767257
Zero chance Roja, Creed, Xerjoff, etc. use real ambergris. Basically they're just lying, and the perfume industry is one of the few where apparently you can just totally make shit up without getting in trouble. Smaller houses like Papillon, House of Matriarch, and of course Bortnikoff, Areej le Dore, and Ensar Oud do use real ambergris. I would strongly suggest to anyone curious about ultra-niche perfume like Ensar Oud to forget about it. They don't know how to make perfume. Bortnikoff has a couple good ones though, I own Musk Cologne and Musk Khabib and they're pretty great but are still not exactly cohesive, personality-having perfumes

>>15767303
>apparently you can just totally make shit up without getting in trouble
pretty much this. The amount of blatant fuckery in the perfume business is staggering. I guess it's just a niche enough industry that nobody cares. Everything about the house of Creed is so fraudulent it's insane. They make some good smelling fragrances, but everything they say about their history is pulled directly from their ass

>>15767300
Wonder how easy it is to just make fake ambergris if it's just a ball of wax and smells like ambroxide lol. Chop some squid into it, float it in brine and sell it on for a couple bags.

>>15767313
The thing is you can't really "farm" ambergris because the kind that is useable is semi-fossilized and has been floating in the water for decades. If it's fresh it's unusable, so banning it for fear of people targeting the whales and using them for extraction purposes doesn't really make sense. But it's easy to replicate in other ways. Ambroxan for instance is made using clary sage. And it's not like even seasoned collectors are going to be able to spot the difference. If a company says the use ambergris, 99.9% of people won't question it. Higher end companies also like to imply they use nothing but natural ingredients but that's a blatant lie. 9 times out of 10 a combination of synthetics and natural oils is going to be better than a fragrance using 100% natural oils anyway. If you can isolate an aroma molecule and make it more stable and better performing than its natural counterpart then you'd be foolish not to and perfumers know this

>>15767313
Ambergris has zero to do with squid other than how it's produced in whales because of the irritation of squid beaks in their digestive tract. Also the much hated "synthetic" Ambroxan is the main player in the smell of real deal ambergris. So you have niche snobs simultaneously decrying modern "bro" perfume for using nasty synthetic ambroxan (their words, most niche snobs are left wing feminist losers) while praising certain perfume houses for using real ambergris, even though like I said the smell of ambergris is mostly made by the Ambroxan.

>>15767292
Ambergris doesn’t come from squids. It comes from sperm whales. Basically, sperm whales eat squids, but they can’t digest the beaks so sometimes the beaks get caught in their gut, the whales create a lump of this waxy stuff around the beaks to make them easier to pass, sort of like how an oyster forms a pearl around a grain of sand.

The thing is, it’s fairly rare for sperm whales to do this, probably only 1 in 10 ever produces ambergris in their lifetime, so you can’t really hunt them for it. Also, ambergris is essentially worthless unless it’s aged, and artificially aged ambergris isn’t as good or worth anywhere near as much as naturally aged stuff (and when I say aged, I mean it’s been floating around for years or even decades). So yeah, there’s no real good way to farm or hunt for the stuff. You can realistically only really find it washed up on beaches, which doesn’t happen super often.

>>15767303
Meleg apparently uses real ambergris too.

Why did this happen to Black Orchid?

>>15767343
Correct. Fragrance snobs are retarded and largely have no idea how perfumery and the construction of fragrance actually works. People will complain about "synthetic" fragrances while praising "natural" fragrances when the reality is that what they're smelling isn't the difference between natural and synthetic so much as it is the difference between a good fragrance and a bad fragrance. No perfumers use 100% natural ingredients, to do so would be retarded and impractical. But it is possible to make a shitty fragrance that smells nothing like anything found in nature using natural oils and it is possible to make a wonderful "natural" smelling fragrance using nothing but synthetics. The vast majority of the time a fragrance will sink or swim on the basis of its construction, not on the basis of its ingredients

I think I fucked up buying pic related. Smells nice and pleasant but definitely not a manly vibe. Definitely a unisex fragrance imo.

>>15767376
This what a lot of the dumbfucks on fragrantica don’t get. Synthetic-SMELLING frags are bad, not synthetic ingredients. Natural-smelling frags don’t necessarily have to use all natural ingredients. I don’t think you can even make good scents using 100% natural ingredients.

>>15767377
Can I sit on it?

>>15767373
Not just black orchid, weird spiky trends for lots of frags this month

>>15767140
Thanks for the non-autistic "redditors live rent free in my head" answer.

Compared to Azzaro's Chrome (my current S/S go-to scent ), would you consider it a good scent for A/W or S/S?

lads it seems my favourite types of perfumes are like Narciso Rodriguez for Him, Luna Rossa Extreme and Fahrenheit Absolute, so like soft, warm, spicy type perfumes? How do you describe those frags? Making me feel like a softboi perfumes? Anyway, what else is out there like that? I have Dreamer and a bit of Toyboy as soft perfumes but they don't have the powderiness that I've come to enjoy so much from the others.

>>15767267
it is a very nice fruity, spice and incense frag. i liked my sample a lot but its not my type of thing to wear. really damn nice though. l'artisans are nice but a bit meme arthouse for me it seems.

>>15767476
it has the modern fresh bubblegum feel, it´s better suited for hotter weather but if you go heavy on the sprays the sweetness can work for A/W

>>15767373
>>15767396
Ive noticed that too on fragrantica. Cant tell if its authentic or fragrantica messing shit up.
This has been out of stock for some time

>>15767303
Agreed overall that there’s no chance they use it on scale like Creed claims. However, there are limiter editions like Xerjoff Amber Star that smells like the most natural ambergris fragrance I’ve tried where they most likely use some. It costs €400, so it’s not that surprising though.

>>15767335
This anon gets it

thoughts on reminiscence patchouli?

>>15767373
I was all excited about this new functionality added but then this happened. It's either a bug as you can see a spike on all data or they're fucking with it deliberately. That's the fragrantica's business model to suck dick of fragrance producers so I wouldn't be surprised.

Memed but snicepilled

any recommendations for a warm scented cologne thats sweet and warm and has notes of things like coffee and chocolate? maybe something that an Italian mafia boss would wear.

>>15768673
I imagine mafia bosses using more classical fougere type fragrances (Viking is my go to for that sort of thing), however Black Phantom by Killian comes to mind given your description. You could also look into the Uomo line by Valentino for a designer take on that genre or the identically named Uomo line by Ferragamo for a cheaper designer take on the same kind of scent. Ferragamo Uomo can also be had for dirt cheap on Amazon. It's really sweet but coffee is one of the more detectable notes. Not bad as a casual scent for someone on the younger side.

>>15768229
they have a great video talking about the sort of thing we were just discussing in the thread with regard to misconceptions within the "synthetic vs natural" debate you see online. It's a bit on the longer side but it's highly informative and it's super interesting if you want to learn how perfume is made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOIjVZO8azQ

Just a month ago, i was not into fragrances at all. Then for no reasons, Youtube suggested me JeremyFragrance and all the other influencers.
That + there are massive discounts here because of the lockdown (people couldn't go to retails and try fragrances).

I bought 5 fragrances in a month and may buy a 6th tomorrow (Prada l'Homme).

>>15769253

>>15769253
>That + there are massive discounts here because of the lockdown
Where? If anything the coronadiscounts were fucking disappointing. We expected full houses and perfumeries going under water and selling their stuff at clearances. But what we got were -10% here and free delivery there. Some perfumeries like Bloom even pumped their prices.
>I bought 5 fragrances in a month and may buy a 6th tomorrow (Prada l'Homme).
Calm your ass too. In couple months time you'll regret most of these purchases. Start sampling instead.

>>15769274
True, but i've yet to find the fragrance i'm really looking for. I'm looking for something that reminds me of a soap i've used in a hotel in Rome.

What is the best way to store a fragrance that you aren't using? I need some space in my wardrobe. Is it safe to put the bottles inside a cardboard box and store them for 5 ~ 10 years inside a cabinet?

are there any frags that smell like fresh air?

I've got fragrances I purchased well over 5 years ago that I've stored in a dark shelf in my room. Still smell great. Just be sure to keep them out of the sun.

>>15769434
Most perfumes will last much longer than that. Certain ingredients like vanilla will degrade though, at least from what I've heard.

okay thanks guys I’m gonna get eau sauvage. any guides on how to wear this? As in cologne in general or this one specifically. How long would a 100ml bottle last me, do you guys wear everyday or depending on the occasion? Sorry in advance for the scrub questions

>>15769678
Eau Sauvage Parfum is a little too heavy to be worn in 90 degree heat, but it is very versatile. 2 or 3 sprays will be enough. 100ml is about 1500 sprays.

>>15769678
why dont you go smell it before you jump on some bandwagon just so you can fit in.

>>15765996
New to /frag/ I went out today to smell the pretty fragrances I ended up buying pic related I thought it smelled nice. I wanted to get chanel declaration I heard it smells like oranges and tea leaves.

>>15769314
>True, but i've yet to find the fragrance i'm really looking for. I'm looking for something that reminds me of a soap i've used in a hotel in Rome.
You say so only because of Jeremy repeating this over and over about Pradas.

No, there's nothing stupid about being classic. I'm 23 and wear a lot of "old man" fragrances like 89, bois du Portugal, floris elite... I dress like an english professor so I guess it kinda fits my style.

>>15766174
Fragrances are legitimately only gendered as a marketing thing, it's only in the last 100 years or so that has been the case. True Chads just wear what they want, as >>15766200 pointed out

>>15769942
Great first pick anon. If you want to save $$, stay with that and never come back

>>15770026
Nothing bad about that, but buying perfume on description alone is like buying a piece of clothing when you've only gotten it described to you. You have no idea what you will actually think about it when you smell it or if it will fit your style

Eau Sauvage is definitely wearable in hot weather, i don't know why that anon thought you meant Eau Sauvage Parfum (another fragrance)

>>15770197
and how many fragrances were there 100 years ago? There is some truth to what you (not that is something original) say, but 90% of fragrances really suit the gender the companies are pushing it to. Sure, La vie e belle would make a killer mens fragrance if it were a bit tweaked, or a watered down Sauvage with less pepper, lavender and more sweets would make a good womens perfume. Them again a women coudl easily wear YSL Y for example etc

We simply learned to associate certain type of smells to being masculine or feminine. Sure, wear what you want.

>>15770344
I'm with this anon on this thing and I'm a hardcore nichefag. Some smells have cultural gender connotations. Sure, they change each decade or so but I care how am I perceived. That being said YSL Y is disgustingly sweet and imo it should be a womens fragrance.

>>15769678
Don’t blind buy but test it first. A lot of people love Eau Sauvage here including me but it might not be the case with you. I’d say that it’s a bit more refined taste fragrance. Spray behind your neck and ears and the wrists. With this 5 sprays routine 100ml should last you around 1 year. I wear fragrances every day as I like to smell good for myself.

>>15769678

>>15769942
It’s a bit of a meme but that’s alright for the firs fragrance. Just be sure to don’t go down the rabbit hole with buying full bottles of other ‘blue’ designer fragrances as they all do one thing. Now that you got a bottle sorted out try to sample some stuff outside the high street mainstream. You can start here to find your own preferences >>15766007
Cartier Devlaration is good but definitely not as easy going type of scent as BdC

>>15770026
the person who is our true selves, that is love, peace, and joy. the outside world made us accustomed to their ways, their beliefs. there is only one path, that is ours, not everyone else’s; we must follow our own path. From birth we’ve been taught how we should act, what we should believe, what we should think. It’s time to find peace from within, and be at peace with and love ourselves, forget what everyone else says or thinks.

>>15770344
I both agree and disagree. Sure, if you wear perfumes only with a seduction mindset, wear something 'manly' (but then wearing no perfume at all is the most manly choice).

Personally, I wear perfumes because i like the smell, i can wear it alone at home, i don't give a fuck about how people will percieve it, i'm not fishing for feminine compliments.

>>15770486
That being said, i wouldn't wear something that smell like roses.
But i do wear vanilla fragrances, fig or iris...

fucking fabulous tom ford

>>15770486
this is the way

I definitely cared about optimizing my sexual attractiveness at a point in my life, but with a few relationships behind me (and the best one still currently ongoing) and approaching thirty I've become far more self serving. I chose perfumes with the same criteria I chose everything else: What would I enjoy the most?

If you're a fragrance guy, what you like is part of who you are. It's better to present yourself as your most authentic self to weed out the people who may not be on board with you wholly. Only do shit you want to do, because you're going to die.

I'm looking for something inexpensive for a girl that would smell purely like vanilla, alternatively (with) cinnamon, any recommendations?

buying OJ-Ormond man
should I order directly from oj or essenza nobile?
EN offers 3 samples with every purchase, seems based af

>>15770547
I bought mine directly. They also attach samples.

>>15770535
Kenzo Jungle Elephant is a popular cheap designer women’s fragrance that is really spicy. It’s not a vanilla soliflore by any means as there’s a lot of different spices there but it dries down to vanilla .

>>15770535
Margiela Whispers in the Library is basically only vanilla and some wood, I'd say it's definitely more feminine than masculine too

A anon told me to go smell the designers first then make my way into the world of frag and niches.

What fragrance would Steve McQueen wear with a suit at a summer evening party?

>>15770852
Anon, cancel that shit. Work on yourself and say FUCK YOU ALL to women.

>>15770942
The actor or director? The actor would probably smell of a mix of Colonia and Castrol GTX. The director seems like a GIT kind of guy.

>>15770948
I do work on myself. I kind of know the woman so it’s cheaper than she’d normally charge and she knows my situation so it should be nice and fun. A pre-Christmas treat.

>the best&worst niche fragrance you put your nose on in 2020
best: my two biggest hOOOOH this year was papillon bengale rouge and bortnikoff musk cologne
worst: strangelove silence the sea. Rotten animal and wood in very salty water, this was the only perfume this year i scrubbed off, but I am impressed with how they made it smell like this, never smelled anything like it
SOTD: chypre palatin but switching to musk cologne after a shower in a bit >:)

>>15771073
>Date for Men

Is there any other choice? But I guess every fragrance is a panty dropper when you pay for it.

So is 212 for Men such an underused frag nowadays it'd become a unique signature scent?
Probably helps that people only wear frags when going out for a pub meal or clubbing where I live.

>>15770852
Welcome to the wonderful world of commercial sex, friend. It won’t be the last time. Hope you didn’t cheap out and got someone good. You very much get what you pay for in this industry.

Any idea what scent you’re gonna wear?

>>15771084
She’s extremely experienced so I think it should be fun. She knows I’ve never had sex and she says she’s excited to show me the ropes.

I’m thinking of either Tuscan Leather or Tobacco Oud. Maybe something a little more smooth like Noir Extreme. I do own fragrances by other companies...

>>15771088
Sounds like a good one, then. The best ladies in my experience are the ones who seem legitimately excited to help you cross things off your bucket list or create a fantasy for you. One of my current regular ladies has an onlyfans and we chat and come up with ideas for things to try next time I see her, and she almost gets more into it than I do! Always going the extra mile to put together outfits for me, comes up with little suggestions, it’s great. The last thing you want is one of these dead fish who are only in it for the money and want to do the absolute bare minimum possible.

I might be a bit careful with stuff like TL or TO. Some ladies like them a lot, but others find them very harsh. I love challenging scents, people here know my collection is full of them, but I usually stick to more “sexy” scents for my dates. Musc Ravageur, Tuxedo, Enigma, and Chypre Palatin have been my go-tos, recently.

>>15771088
she's gonna touch your peepee

I got full bottles of NR for Him EDP and Montale Aoud Cuir D'Arabie. Really like YSL Opium, Kouros and EN L'Extreme decants. Gonna bite the Francesca Bianchi pill soon. Lover's Tale , here I come.

>>15771158
That sounds great. I don’t have the money to do it often so it’s unlikely I’ll do it again, but you never know. How much do you typically pay? I know you’re in a different country but what I’m paying seems less than I expected, but far from cheap.

I know they’re bold scents,but I’m thinking a single spray of TL on the chest might be OK. I did consider finishing my sample of Musc Ravageur. I’d buy a bottle but my budget is now gone for that.

>>15771170
That’s a bit lewd. I didn’t agree to that. I know a guy that hired a prostitute to shave his back before he went on a date. She complained about her not getting picked up for an hour so he gave her a pile of ironing and put the TV on, then left for his date. He lives with his mum which makes the whole thing more weird.

Anon here who said he was going to start perfuming. So far so good. I'm thinking about exclusively making sleazecore stuff because it's the most interesting. Here's the note breakdown for my newest sleazy fougere:
Base-
Oakmoss
Musks
Tonka Bean
Vanilla
Benzoin

Heart-
Rosemary

Top-
Italian lemon
Lavender
Bergamot
Aldehydes

It's so nice that I'm afraid to skunk it up with Alpha Pinene for full sleazemode. Might have to make a second formula with pinene and suederol.

>>15766769
For women’s cheapies I would suggest Her by Burberry or Versace Bright Crystal

>>15771191
The ladies I see are typically 350/hr, but the main agency I use has this weird break point in their pricing where if you book 5 hours, you’re basically getting one for free. So my typical session is 1400.00 CAD. The lady I mentioned works for this agency. I know that’s definitely outside most people’s budget, but they really do have the best ladies in the city by far and I always have a great time with them. Plus the owner and the bookers all know me and give me a lot of extra little perks (like getting to try out new hires at a reduced price).

I also had an indy lady I used to see who’d give me 4 hours for 900.00, and she was a super cool chick who gave absolutely absurd blowjobs (and swallowed!), but she retired a few months back. I miss her.

Yeah, one spray of TL might be ok. I do think you’re probably better off with MR, though. In my opinion, MR is one of the best niche sex fragrances ever made. It just smells like sex to me.

Let us know how your date goes. I’d be interested to hear your experiences.

I want to start using fragrance. I've checked the flowchart top 10 and tested it in a local store but I dislike most of them. In my opinion they all have an agressive scent, but I'd like to get something more subtle. I liked the Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male, but it was a little bit too sweet.
So I'm looking for something more subtile I guess, should I look for cologne's instead of parfumes and Eau de Toilette's?

>>15771470
Get a sport fragrance. Dior Homme Sport, Allure Homme Sport, or YSL L'Homme Sport

>>15771463
Wow, that’s a lot of money! I absolutely couldn’t afford those prices, but I can imagine you’re getting a great service. I’ll post in here about how it goes, but it won’t be for nearly two weeks. I don’t really know how it works but she offered to stay the night for more money but I’m not sure if it’s worth it. But it’s not that much more, so maybe I will.

I’m wearing TL now and yeah, it’s probably too much. It might be better well in to the drydown, but the first three hours are quite potent. It’s funny how people talk about fragrances I enjoy smelling like sex, I have no idea what it smells like so I can’t really relate to that.

>>15771485
That sounds a little bit easy

>>15771158
>has an onlyfans
would you mind sharing her onlyfans name? I'd love to know the kind of girl you go after, hookeranon

Buy my perfumes please

>>15771496
Depends how much extra we’re talking here. If it’s like a few hundred extra and you’re getting an overnight, I’d 100% do it.

>>15771575
I’d prefer not because there are too many spergs here who might harass her and I wouldn’t want to put her through that. She’s legitimately a nice girl and doesn’t deserve that.

Honestly. I don’t really have a type. This particular lady is a bit more mature (she’s 35), but she’s also super into fitness and has a body like a superhero. Just rock hard. I also see more petite girls, more curvy (but not fat), all races, whatever. Sexy is sexy to me. My next appointment is with a Korean spinner with model looks.

there's never good reason to wear extrait strength fragrances in public unless you're someone's grandmother

>>15771368
Bro that sounds amazing. If you live in Europe I'd pay you for a 2-3ml sample

>>15771603
£150 extra for overnight. What’s the advantage of that? Does it mean more sex or just being asleep next to somebody? I don’t quite get what I’m paying for.

What fragrance house(s) are you hoping to explore soon? This year has been Malle/Bianchi for me. I’m trying to decide where to go next. Papillon is definitely happening, and I’m wondering if I should try something like Serge Lutens.

>>15771647
EdP really is the perfe strength for most things imo. I've never really had an EdP and thought "damn I wish this was an extrait".
Though I think some scents really should stay EdT (Eau Sauvage, Équipage) and EdC (AdP Colonia)

>>15771692
Actually high on my list is a DESIGNER, namely chanels exclusifs line.
Also I want to sample more bortnikoffs, they have surprised me how much I like them

>>15771677
Well, it means you get to take your time and not have to feel like you’re on the clock. Also the possibility of wake up sex, though that depends on the lady. For an extra 150, that seems like a great deal to me. For your first time, you really want to be able to relax and have time to get comfortable. I’d go for it if it were me.

>>15771712
>namely chanels exclusifs line.
I had tried Coromandel a while ago, was not very impressed. I tried it again yesterday and bros, I'm in love. It's an extremely high-class patchouli-incense bomb, I'm thinking of buying a small decant.

>>15771692
I’d really like to try out some slumberhouse frags to see what all the fuss is about, also the rest of the MDCIs. What I’m really itching to dig into is all the mad Middle Eastern frags, but I don’t want to accumulate any more bottles that I’ll end up having to dispose of, and they’re not all available to sample

Can anyone tell me when to use eau de cologne, toilette or parfum? Is there a quality difference? I've heard that eau de toilette is more alcohol based, so the scent is less pure and more biting.

I'm curious about a few bottles:

Hermes' Terre d'Hermes: I've tried this in a store but I disliked it. I've heard the scent is too harsh in the initial phase. Does anyone know what it smells like after an hour. Is it way better?

Uomo's Casual Life: I've seen this in the german coke addict's video. He said the scent was like tiramisu. Is gourmand a good option for fragrances? If there is anyone with experience, please let me know your thoughts on it.

Chanel Allure Homme Sport: Someone suggested this to me and I saw that it scored high in a blind testing video of that same german coke addict. I was wondering how this fragrance competes in general. For example, how does it compete with fragrances like Chanel's Blue de Chanel?

Jean Paul Gaultier's Ultra Male: I like this scent and the price is nice, but it's quite sweet. Do women think you're feminine ergo less of an option while using this?

Dior's Fahrentheit: I've heard good things about this one, but I can't imagine that women would really love a intense scent of gasoline. Does anyone know if and why it's working?

>>15771827
all the ones you write about are popular fragrances that you can find in a store that sells fragrances, you should go and smell them. Also, the initial spray is always quite harsh and alcoholic, wave your hand around in the air a bit and then smell. Also yes, things smell different after an hour and more.

Do I cop a bottle of Patchouli absolu to coat my leather jacket with with the xmas money I'll get off relatives?

>>15771470
You can only test the top notes in a store.

Like it or not this is what peak performance looks like.

This old man mogs any of this modern pussy boy scents. He's bold and proud. You don't like syrup? Fuck you. One spray and I'm engulfing the room for 10 hours. A true Chads scent. Take no prisoners. I do what I want, take it or leave it. Joop homme.

>>15771898
I wore 2 sprays of Joop to the jobcentre for a 90 minute seminar.
they didn't make me go to another one for quite some time after that.

can somebody give a couple of options to a male smell-let for a basic, cheap, and inoffensive starter fragrance? i read the sticky but it's still like 50 options and i'm retarded

>>15771923
Dior Sauvage. That's it.

>>15771923
Yeah the stickys rely on you having gone out into the real world and tried aftershave in your life at some point, you know, to form some idea in your mind about what kind of smells you like, but for the hopelessly autistic homebound people like yourself they aren't suitable. I suggest skipping over the whole fragrance thing and jumping off the chair, i know it's a big step but you won't need to worry about interacting with the outside world after that.

>>15771936
right back at you buddy! remember, a shotgun or pistol upwards through the mouth or a opiate overdose is a much more reliable option. i would happy to point you in the right direction if you need any assistance acquiring the relevant supplies.

sure you can, its CAD
>>15771368
that does legitimately sound good
>>15771827
generally, each one is more than just a different concentration, its typically a similar composition, but not the same. In ye olden times, you woke up and started off with a light cologne that doesnt last long, then mid day or when you go out, you use an edt, and in the evenings you use the edp. They were all designed to compliment each other and create something wonderful where the whole was greater than the sum of the parts. Colognes are supposed to be light and ephemeral, edt's are great at projecting, and edps may(or may not) have the depth or complexity you might be looking for. Its all personal preference to the scent profile, maybe you dont want to use an edp and smell like the same thing all day and night, or it might not work as well in certain weather, so the edt might be for you.
>tdh im not a big fan of waiting around for a scent to become likeable. Yes, I understand the first blast can be wildly different than to what it becomes, but Im not going to wait around for an hour or more through a difficult phase to get to the good part. The whole thing should please me immensely.
>womo It might smell great, but I dont like wearing sweet stuff, at all. I can recognize a good scent without having to want to wear it personally though, thats not where I'm going with that thought, this is me and not you. You do you. Gourmand: one who is *excessively* fond of eating and drinking. You might be able to infer where Im going with this.
>AHSE: its lemon curd vs a blue nose stabby thing. Totally different, smell them, and youll see.
>JPG: Your concerns are not mine. Just be yourself
>Fahrenheit: Its masculine and strong. Some women dont like that, they want something else. You can also infer where I might be going with that train of thought

>>15771987
Thank you anon

>>15767396
Anecdotal perhaps, but people around where I live are fucking bonkers for Christmas, almost as though they hope it will be cathartic after this wacky year. My local city put up like 5 times the lights they normally do.

Is there any conceivable way to know if 80s and before frags still sold today are anything like they originally were? It seems common to be underwhelmed by hyped classics.

Lonestar Memories is great but it's at least 60% similar to LDDM and if you say otherwise you're wrong

I think I'm gonna buy both though. Tauer is an amazing perfumer. Definitely the best self-taught perfumer that I know of.

I suppose my curiosity moreover is if there was originally a better version of some of these old scents behind years of reduced costs and ingredient bans.

then keep using it if it makes you happy, you dont need my approval. It is like the equivalent using dynamic range compression in recordings to achieve the maximum loudness, sacrificing quality and richness.

3 things Jeremey loves the most

What's with all the Sauvage, Aventus, Invictus, Mont Blanc Legend, tested all these favorites by many. Generic frags without a kick or twist to be interesting. Found my signature scent in Tom Ford Oud Minerale, fantastic marine-salty scent with a piercing Woody-oud note. Thankfully not salty-fruity like light blue.

Of course

>salty-fruity like light blue.

I just ordered this one, don't say bad thongs about it.
I agree with the rest of your comment tho, i'm more into Diptyque, but i guess Dior Sauvage is easier to find.

Just blasted through an eighth of LB intense last summer it's pretty sexy, mixes well with sweat, and pretty inoffensive.The juniper really balances it out. Would buy again.

>>15772468
I bought them from someone in a facebook group but I recognize the labels and bottles as being from the swedish store Fragrance and Art

For me?

Pure kino.

I have or used to have all of these. Cap Neroli is snice but quite feminine. It would be great for a petite girl in a summer dress on a warm day. The other two are solid af.

Hello guys, What are some cheap fraganes? I can't afford anymore my Terre D'hermes and CDG Wonderwood.
Found pic related very cheap (less than 20€), is there any more alternatives?

>>15773059

>>15772913
Profumum Roma Ichnusa for spring

Also try Colonia Intensa for summer evenings or colder summer days

>>15773158

He’s a terribly uneducated guy that refuses to update his childhood impression of Miami derived from Miami Vice with new data despite staying there multiple times. He’s chasing a phantom. Much in the same way people from the former sowjet union were obsessed with Modern Talking, or Germans with Hasselhoff. It’s their ultimate image of freedom and the west.

>Have you tried something else?
You mean some solid warm weather scents in my opinion? Sure. Spring/Summer scents I like and I think are worth checking out from top of my head:
Etruscan Water, Ichnusa, Acqua Viva, Xerjoff Mefisto Gentiluomo, Uden, Gallivant Berlin, Dear Polly, Bulgari Opalon, Azemour Les Orangers, De Bachmakov, Diptyque Eau Des Sens, LAP Fleur D'Oranger, Guerlain Le Frenchy, The Gate First Sight, Creed Pure White Cologne, Floraiku I Am Coming Home, Floraiku Between Two Trees, OJ Montabaco Verano, Isabey Sir Gallahad, Moth + Rabbit The Lobster, FM La Parfum de Therese, Andrea Mack Coven, 4160 Tuesdays Freeway
If you want to hear more about some of these or impose some other preferences than being a warm weather scent to filter them then just let me know.

>>15773202
I dislike both LNDLH and Aventus. L'Homme is lovely but lasts about 2-3h.

So you want citrusy-green tea scent.
>niche (but the best)
Gallivant Berlin, Vilhelm Parfumerie Dear Polly, Altaia Don't Cry For Me (this one is predominantly floral but you get strong fresh tea note)
>designer but still an upgrade
Profumo di Firenze 1954 Cinquantaquattro, Guerlain
Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca (tea note here is a bit subdued and it has an overall floral vibe but I think it'd be amazing for your sister)

>>15772913
diptyque philossykos

>>15773229
GF not sister, sorry
>>15772462
These are all good but kinda borderline warm weather scent. SL Five O'Clock is a full-blown Christmas scent so not sure if that's what he's looking for.

>>15773230
Enjoy smelling like a sweet coconut.

>>15772349
>This would be in my top 5 if the coffee lasted.
What are your other 4 top coffee scent. This fucking note drives me crazy, I have yet to try a realistic coffee note. All scent I tried were this weird mixes of sweet notes, tonka, hay and some coffee vibe. Nothing smelling like freshly ground coffee.

>>15772306
c'mon dude, it's still good

Any recs if I like the aggressive spicy kinda dirty vanilla opening of Musc Ravageur more than the drydown? I read some writeups on
>Labdanum 18
>Helmut Lang EDP
>Meharees
and they seem like they're for fags who like the powdery phase of MR, and I'm not too big on that

Received some money from my grandparents to buy my own present this year, decided just the other day to try and become familiar with fragrances. This is what I have ordered from LuckyScent, it's just their masculine sample colllection (UniSex was sold out and Feminine didn't have scents that interested me) as well as 4 extras that intrigued me. Advice on how to wear and test these? Judgements on my initial tastes?
