Thank you God for guiding me how you want to guide me.

thoughts on guerlain's line l'art et la matière?

>>15803298
Very good, niche quality. I really liked Tonka Imperiale and Neroli Outrenoir. Angélique Noire is on my to-test list.

>>15803301
I think I might try songe d'un bois d'été, looking at the archive it seems like one anon is particularly enamoured with it

Do you wear a leather scent with a leather jacket?

>>15803334
I own a few leather scents but no leather jacket.

I'm going bald rapidly, soon be 30 in a couple years. Thinking of LARPing as Jason Statham wearing suits, full length shearling coat and aviators all the time.
What scent will go with the larp?

>>15803505
Don't bother if you don't have the right face.

>>15803505
Kouros, Lapidus PH, Balanciaga PH, Antaeus

Should i ?

Guys I love aventus, should I just buy it again or look for something in the same vein? any recs?

Anyone here tried Iris Nazarena Aedes de Venustas?

>>15803544
Or Eau Parfumee au The Noir Bvlgari?

>>15803545
Or Lubin Korrigan?

>>15803548
Or Antonio Alessandria Noir Obscur?

>>15803549
Or Une Nuit Magnetique The Different Company?

>>15803544
>>15803545
>>15803548
>>15803549
>>15803551
These are all best masculine fragrances according to Sanchez and Turin. I haven't tried any of these. Most seem to be leather-forward.

>>15803554
So Bvlgari using a latin stylized "u" doesn't bother him but he gets all autistic when profvmvm roma does it

>>15803551
To my nose very very feminine

>>15803545
It's great smoky tea but you have to like rose which I'm unfortunately not a fan of. To me L'Artisan Parfumeur Tea for Two fills the same spot as that one but I like the LAP a lot more

>>15803537
If you enjoy it then yes

>>15803542
The latest batches are complete shit.

>>15803584
really? I got mine in 2017 and made it last.
I'm terrible at describing this but what i really like is the "base" of the fragrance, what it smells liek after a few hours.

>>15803587
Just buy Club de Nuit Intense. You’ll get the same thing for 1/10th the price

>>15803592
perfromance is not as good

>>15803594
Carry round the bottle then

Does anyone know the difference between the regular Nawab of Oudh and the Intensivo version? I like the regular version a lot and I know I need to order a sample of the Intensivo before I make a decision, but I'm curious. I can only find one vague comparison on YouTube with the guy saying that Intensivo is spicier and less floral.

>>15803565
Yeah, he's an old man and has his own quirks. I don't agree with many of his opinions but some are absolute gems.
>>15803568
Thanks anon, I quite like rose and Tea for Two so it might be a match. Funnily enough speaking of rose my SOTD now is Le Mat Mendittorosa (earlier Eau Sauvage Parfum). A beautiful green-herbal (Turin calls it camomile) rose. Quite sad my sample is over, I might buy a bottle some time in the future.
>>15803634
The intesivos and EdPs are the same oils but in higher concentration. I had some of OJ frags in both versions and differences were negligible (but they were present). Remember though that what Ormonde Jayne calls 'EdP' is more of an Extrait concentration for others.
>saying that Intensivo is spicier and less floral.
Probably he's making it up but you know, different concentrations can smell different.

>>15803646
Some bottles of Nawab of Oudh say Parfum and others say Eau de Parfum, though, and the ones that say Parfum do not say Intensivo.

>>15803732
They're really shit with consistency for such a brand. You're overthinking a bit imo, it's not like with other houses where EdT/EdP/Parfum are entirely different fragrances. Here you have precisely the same formula but in different concentrations.

>>15803225

thx for the welcome man, it's definitely goin on my buy list! the drydown is borderline sweet tho, nevertheless close to perfection imo

>>15803736
Oh, ok. I see now that OJ only has one page for Nawab of Oudh and in the drop down options you can select the 50ml Intensivo. It being 42% concentration and 280 vs the 30% regular version being 120mls and 425 makes the Intensivo more attractive to me, actually. I've got a 120ml of OJ Man and it's going to take forever to go through that.

>>15803278
Based

Fragrance for this feel?

>>15803825
I’m amazed you even have to ask. Although I’m going to throw a curveball and say Eau Sauvage Cologne.

what are some of the best niche or indie rose scents?

What fragrance would he wear?

>>15803825
Acqua Di Sale. Or Eau Sauvage to be historically accurate.

>>15803825
Eau Sauvage, Acqua di Parma Colonia

>>15803825
Delon is the most handsome man ever to walk on the surface of the earth

what fragrance is this aesthetic

>>15803875
Some Zootopian or Fathom V

>>15803846
Essenza di colonia

>>15803846
These days? Probably Clive Christian/Roja/Xerjoff on special occasions - he was noveau riche after all and liked to splurge. Nothing at all on normal days

>>15803537
Based

>it's another "fragrance addicts talk about their favorite French, Italian, and Russian films" episode

>>15803871
No doubt. He’s the perfected amount of chiselled. Impeccable jawline and cheekbones, but without the hyper-rugged caricature of masculinity you often see. I’m just glad I never had to pose for a photograph near him. One of my favourite pictures. Imagine being the biggest rockstar in the world and Delon is quite literally flirting with your girlfriend effortlessly.

>>15803927
Don’t forget Hungarian novelists.

>>15803840
For me the best masculine roses are as follows.
>herbaceous, bitter green rose
Menditterosa Le Mat
>regal, powdery rose that I can imagine a diplomat wearing on a black tie cocktail party
Amouage Gold Pour Homme
>assertive green vegetal rose wrapped softly in leather
Frederic Malle Rose & Cuir
>opulent and complex oriental rose
Ormonde Jayne Nawab of Oudh
>best indie rose+oud I tried
Tabaccora Parfums Salim
>oldschool dirty-clean fragrance reminiscent of Kouros and likes with a dominant rose
Alain Delon Iquitos
>soft, cozy rose fragrance with honeyed woods and spices for men who are afraid of rose fragrances
Amouage Crimson Rocks
>yummy cocoa+sandalwood rose
Serge Lutens Santal Majescule
>a fresh green rose by Patricia Nicolai that I cannot mention, sadly sweet geranium makes it too feminine leaning for me
MDCI Un Coeur en Mai
>affordable but nice and refreshing rose
Cartier Declaration d’Un Soir

>>15803933
what is he wearing?

>>15803933
H-how... how did you know? I started reading this Sándor Márai’s book only yesterday.

>>15803984
I know there are fellow Krasznahorkai fans here so it seemed like a safe bet they'd be lurking.

>>15803986
Oops

>>15803505
> full length shearling coat
I even fucking google it. You owe me a new pair of eyes. No perfume will help you, imbecile. You can ask on rddt, though.

HI HELLO
ok so i've never purchased any bottle off of fragrancenet, are they 100% legitimate? also, i cant seem to find anywhere where i can buy a sample for Panhaligons Roaring Radcliff, if you have tried it before can you let me know your experience with the frangrance?? would it be safe to blind buy or should i wait for a sample on luckyscent to make itself available?

>>15803986
>>15803984
Hello I'm also Krasznahorkai fan....
Can't wait for the /frag/ lit list

Some Impression of the last quarter 2020 (only interesting ones):

powdery vanilla-tobacco with a hint of CK One
>ADG Profumo 8/10

What about you lads?

>>15803999
Hello

Never blind buy
Samples and decants are usually best to get in local facebook groups
Fragrancenet is legit, of course grey market but they don't sell fakes

>>15803999
>would it be safe to blind buy
No.
>wait for a sample on luckyscent to make itself available
Yes.

Which Dior is the easiest to pull off?
DHI, DH EdT (2020), DH EdP, DH Sport?

>>15803544
> nazarena
Gloomy iris. Plain ashtray smell after an hour, no smell whatsoever after two.

>>15803545
> bvlgari au noir
This is good. Black tea with sugar, incense. Kind of an oud cologne from the guy who did M7. There is also Salvatore Ferragamo Testa di Moro in the same vein. I have decants of nazarena and bvlgari and a bottle of SF. Still thinking about that bvlgari though.

>>15803840
oj-nawab of oud intensivo

>>15804011
>Never blind buy
i usually try not to blind buy, but with this scent not being listen on penhaligons website i was worried that they may have discontinued the product

>Fragrancenet is legit
ah ok, thanks!

>zara 9.0
>Impulse buy after reading "bergamot" on the label
>smells great
>getting compliments everyday
>cheap af
>pure win

>>15804010
>French
Caché (Austrian director though) or Vivre sa Vie

>Russian
Zerkalo

>SOTD
Eau Sauvage

Haven't really watched much Italian movies desu......

Found a bottle of La Nuit d'Homme from some years ago in my parents' house. It's pretty strong, how can I wear it?

>>15804037
do they still sell it?
for me it was like dior homme intense mixed with cheap energy drink

>>15804009
Interesting, thanks for sharing. Keep on sniffing. Is this cypress that you hate in Encre Noire? Also that's the first time to hear such an opinion about Grey Vetiver. Philopykos has this sunscreen coconut note that I hate about it. Try Profumum Roma Ichnusa if you like fig leaf.
>>15804024
None of these are hard to pull off. Some are just more elegant than others. All are 100% masculine fragrances, don't worry and just wear the one you like the most.
>>15804029
Thanks bro
>>15804040
Hah, I was actually also thinking of choosing this Godard's movie over Blue. Also based and Tarkovskypilled.

>>15804045
there is some kind of button on top of the bottle (out of plastic most time) and there is a small round opening on the button which you have to aim at your neck and then push down on the button then the smell comes out

>>15804045
Check the year of the production from the batchcode and if you have an old one then just sell it to some coomer retard for hundreds dollars. There seems to be almost as big batchwankery with LNDH as with Abentoos.
>how can I wear it?
You what nibba?

>>15804047
it was on sale in zara berlin store back in november, lot 93170

>>15804051
>Philopykos has this sunscreen coconut note that I hate about it.
Try the EdP sometime, it doesn't have any of that coconut. Ichnusa is still a bit better though..
Un Jardin en Mediterrane is also in similar style

>>15804054
>There seems to be almost as big batchwankery with LNDH as with Abentoos.
Now that I think about it. Do you think it's all because of Jeremy? For sure his responsible for this prevalent opinion that LNDH is not what it used to be partially. I don't know about Aventus.

>>15804024
DH 2020 in any environment all year around.

>>15804051
>>15804061
And yes, Tarkovsky bros unite of course

>>15803846
On his trip to Cuba?

Aramis Havana

>>15803927
>French
Celine and Julie Go Boating
The Soft Skin
Jules et Jim
Hiroshima Mon Amour

>Italian
I could just say Fellini and that would cover it, but:
La Dolce Vita
Rocco and His Brothers
The Leopard
Tree of Wooden Clogs

>Russian
Stalker
Mirror
Hard to be a God
Man with a Movie Camera

SOTEvening: Coccobello by Heeley.

>>15803955
thank you cool list : )

anyone have recommendations for the following?

summer tea fragrance (something like bvlgari black minus the rubber tire, midnight in paris minus the powder, gucci ph II with less pimento and violet, ideally still somewhat masculine/unisex at least though)

oud wood type fragrance (the way versace oud noir smells about 30 mins would be ideal - this smells great but eventually oud noir kind of just smells like pencils shavings. TF oud wood doesn't quite hit this for me, it's possible the sample I tried though was old or something though)

Is this the proper thread to discuss incense? Currently burning some Shoyeido White Cloud for maximum comfiness

>>15803984
>>15804010
>>15804095
Well my post backfired

>>15804138
I don't like Oud Wood but Thameen - Carved Oud is a better and cheaper Oud Wood clone. Still very expensive though.

>>15804152
What are yours? Join in the fun. Japanese cinema is more my area of expertise but you didn’t ask about that.

>>15803278

>>15803592
If you can’t tell the difference between CDNIM and Aventus you’re a noselet

>>15803592

>>15803930
However he aged hideously and ungraciously. Jagger looked better in later years.

>>15804138
Cold weather tea scents are discussed here more often. My summer favorites are:
>Berlin Gallivant
Very snice, fresh citric tea scent.
>Dear Polly Vilhelm Parfumerie
Polite tea scent with a sea-green feel to it. Elegant and sophisticated. Ambergris giving the sea feel here reminds me of Bulgari's exclusive Opalon.
>I Am Coming Home Floraïku
Amazing white tea + ginger fragrance. It smells almost like you poured it all over yourself. Gone very quickly. Not worth the price.

When it comes to Oud Wood then the type of 'oud' they use is the Givaudan's synthetic oud base. You will see it being used very often starting at Montale Black Aoud ending at very expensive 'oud' fragrances. If you want something smelling close to Oud Wood then the other anon is right about Carved Oud but I guess you're not using just Oud Wood because of the price tag? In this case I'd typically suggest Oud Noir but you know it already. There is a reasonable clone of Oud Wood from Suratti called Tom Oudh but to be fair I'd just suggest getting a decant of the original thing within your budget. If you're a bong then this guy has legit decants at reasonable prices. I ordered some Creeds from him in past. 10ml will go a long way (perhaps make you through the entire Fall/Winter if you got other things in your rotation) and you won't feel tacky wearing a clone https://tomscreeddecants.bigcartel.com/product/tom-ford-oud-wood

>>15803592
>buying clones instead decants
That being said: fuck Creed, fuck Aventus.

bed scent tonight is l'air du desert marocain
it surprises me how much I like this, might get another sample of it next time I order.. one of the most /comfy/ scents out there imo

>>15803592
Nah senpai that´s like saying an Invicta pro diver is the same as a Submariner for a fraction of the price.

>>15803825
And what fragrance for this feel?

>>15804464
>>15803930
The real question to ask is who would mog who if Jeremy Fragrance and Alain Delon met.

>>15804474
This would be one of the fiercest mog battles known to humankind

still looking for a vanilla frag for this girl I'm dating. asked her what she wears and she told me it's a body spray from sephora or some shit, kinda hesitant to get her something niche now

>>15804548
Datura Noir by Serge Lutens?

>>15804548
Go for a designer then, you got plenty of recommendations. Are there not what you're looking for or you cannot make your mind up?

>>15804554
>she wears pleb spray from sephora and he's hesitant to get her a niche
>instant niche recommendation
cmon give the man a break :D
>>15804548
I smelled this briefly long time ago, but Jersey from chanel exclusifs is a lavender/vanilla thing and it has some brand value she might appreciate, idk >:)

I badly wanted to love one of the Lubin perfumes in the art deco looking bottles and Idole was close for me, but I found Itasca to be my favorite Lubin perfume. Has anyone else tried it? It's fairly inexpensive for a niche perfume.

>>15804569
honestly can't make my mind up. was pretty close to ordering the 50ml palo santo but I could also get her a bottle of no5 for about the same money and she'd definitely recognize chanel

>>15804548
I remember the budget you said, and this one is a little bit higher, but Jasmine Imperatrice Eugenie is a great and sexy vanilla perfume for a girl. It can be found for around 150 on eBay which is much less than the Creed retail price. It comes in a very pretty bottle/box too, so it would be a good gift. I really recommend this one.

>>15804262
The people who are smelling you are probably noselets. Creed release shit batches for the same price as the good ones. Fuck them.

>>15803999
Sample it yourself first for sure. It’s very close to Tobacco Vanille IMO, but with more cinnamon

I swear MyMickers was/is the best reviewer on youtube. No one else that I've seen is as good at describing perfumes, and no one else is as entertaining to watch.

>>15804737
jus de rose is great

>>15804569
went with dior poison girl edp because it'll hopefully arrive before christmas. did I do good?

>>15804763
I'll give her videos a shot but I'll be honest at this point I'm assuming you like her because she's pretty.

>>15804765
I've never smelled that one but desu every women's designer perfume I've ever smelled so far has been something I'd enjoy smelling on a woman so you probably did fine.

Does anyone else feel the same way? Every female designer perfume is sexy.

>>15804420
I totally agree, instead of an exotic smell I get a comfy feeling as soon as I finish my sample I´ll order Au Coeur

>>15804775
Nah I think she makes good videos and she actually works in the industry.

What fragrance would he wear?

What fragrances should I wear?
I've tried Polo Green. I like it.

>>15804865
oj man

>>15804149
I've never burned incense before but just ordered Baieido Kobunboku. What am I in for?

>>15804865
Burning Ben(jamin)

>>15804880
I haven't tried that one, but I just got some Minorien Fu-In Sandalwood, which is of comparable quality and smells like walking through a magical forest

>>15804876
Encre Noire, Creed Original Vetiver, Yatagan, Polo Green

>>15804876
bottega veneta pour home extreme
d&g the one

>>15804037
9.0 is a clone of valentino uomo, which pretty much smells like old Dior homme without the chocolate note. they were still selling it last year, I bought a bottle for a weekend trip and really enjoyed it for the price.

I've been looking for something cheap to wear to the beach this summer, picked up the moringa edt from the body shop and it kinda rules. i don't know wtf moringa smells like but this frag is just white florals in the sun, somewhere between jasmine and gardenia with a lil bit of tuberose. reminds me of soleil blanc but at this price i'm ok with leaving it in my bag while I swim at the beach/pool.

Post what you'll be wearing over Christmas

>>15805191
squid zoologist, asked for tea for two for christmas

>>15805191
>>15805271
I'll be wearing Tea for Two. Comfiest scent ever and my girlfriend loves it

>>15803273
holy kek

>>15805191
red tobacco

>>15804876
old spice, brut, axe anything

>>15805276
>most of the negative reviews are by people who don't own it and make adhom attacks in their "review"

>>15805191
I have 30 bottles of this shit, love it, beautiful scent.

Put on 4 sprays of sultan vetiver, shit‘s potent af
Anxious if I oversprayed it for work, but then again everyone is wearing masks there so idgaf

>>15805362

>>15804149
If you're looking for a great incense fragrance, try Sultan Pasha's Nankun Kodo
It's a recreation of Shoyeido's incense of the same name

Can’t find any realistic smokey, incense, and tobacco oriented scents . Everything is either sweet or too weak and diluted by other notes.

Given the fucking shitshow with Britain and the borders at the moment I’m glad I didn’t order my second Bianchi bottle. Fucking hell.

>>15805191
Fetes Parsanes, Tobacco Reserve, possibly Fahrenheit

it's almost christmas broskis
getting comfy with bengale rouge today

>>15805654
Same! I’m doing my housework today, cleaning, tidying, taking things to the dump and making my house spotless so I have a nice clear few days leading up to it.

>>15805191
Likely Spicebomb, maybe Gucci PH II. Tobacco Reserve if it's colder than usual out.

>>15805690
>Tobacco Reserve

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

I've been trying to decide between Reflection Man and Invasion Barbare, I've come to the conclusion that I should buy both.

For some reason I love the drydown of Le Male and enjoy it, but I feel the opening is too powdery on my skin, what do? Should I just put up with the opening?

>>15805741
It’s not quite the same but I find the opening of Interlude Man too potent, but give it an hour and it’s divine.

>>15805498
Arso is pure realistic smoke

>absolutely adore fragrance
>work in wine so its massively bad form to wear fragrance 90% of the time

i just like things that smell nice :(

>>15805498
Masque Milano Montecristo

Bought pic related, can't wait to sniff it because it's polarising. Any fragrance that are very harsh, green and masculine besides Polo Green or Flannel?

>>15805775
Robert Piguet - Bandit

It's a women's perfume but I'd call it masculine.

>>15805775
Chanel no. 19 obviously

>>15805771
>absolutely adore
You must be a fag or a woman, because you're not a straight man.

SOTD: Fort & Manle Amber Absolutely. Earlier in the morning: Osang by Mendittorosa. What are you wearing lads?

>>15805909
Does Mendittorosa have a discovery set?

SOTD is me waiting 3 weeks for La Parfumerie Moderne just to ship out a bottle of perfume I spent nearly 200 dollars on. Pretty fucked up. Or maybe it's already shipped and they just didn't send me the tracking, which is also fucked up.

I MGONNA FUKKEN DO IT BROS.

IS TIHS THE GREATEST IDEA OR THE WORST IDEA. WHAT COULD GO WRONG

TELL ME WHY I SHOULD OR SHOULDNT DO IT

ITS USMMER HERE

>>15805276
Kek, AI ad profiling can be merciless at times.
>>15805191
Probably Ambra Aurea :^)
>>15804580
Tell me more about the brand, I've stumbled upon >>15803548 only yesterday
>>15805575
>Fetes Parsanes
Based, one of my if not the favorite cozy warm spicy scent. You're running on a sample from Claude or got yourself a bottle?
>>15805567
I've been reading news from Britain all morning. I'm so glad that I escaped from there for Christmas earlier last week. Hope you're not in Tier 4 region anon.
>>15805498
How dry and non-sweet you want your scents? Is XJ Naxos and Naomi Goodsir Or du Serail too sweet?
>absolutely classy modern fresh suede+tobacco
Ormonde Jayne Montabaco Verano
>a 100% masculine gardenia scent with a warm tobacco-amber undertones, I will most likely wear this for my wedding
Isabey Sir Gallahad
>cherry tobacco pipe
Serge Lutens Chergui
>If you love the tobacco feel of Chergui but were hoping for something a little smokier, not to mention heavier on the actual tobacco
Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque
>intense oriental tobacco+oud
Chopard Oud Malaki

Then you got 100s of boozy-leathery-tobacco scents. I'm not gonna even list all of my favs but OP's pic >>15803273 and Jovoy Les Jeux Sont Faits are in the top.
For incense/smokey fragrances you must be a bit more specific if you want recommendations. Do you want church incense, woody incense, fresh incense etc?

>>15805929
I loathe both of those options, and I have started writing a polite email immediately when they are slow ("Hi is this already shipped and if so can I have the tracking? Looking forward to smelling! :-)"). It makes them look at the order and they see if anything is wrong

>>15805929
>Does Mendittorosa have a discovery set?
Yes, but you pay 200% extra per ml buying from their website. Get yourself samples from MoodScentBar. I paid about the same price per ml as the full bottle there. They also include 3 free samples to any order (even if it contains only samples), so that's a sweet deal.

>>15805909
>OSANG is inspired by this extraordinary annual miracle, a scent of viscous beauty, blood rising, shifting from inertia to bubbling resurrection. A miracle of love. A perfumed celebration of saints and superstitions, centred around a ravenous fenugreek absolute note lavished with singed pyrazines, sacrificial myrrh and mournful molten honey poured over everything like amber rain. Meadow blooms, sticky dark resins, pungent balms and ashen clouds of iris swirl like dramatic weather.
>The miracle slowly unfolds from sunlit flowers through a sea of honey and glorious fenugreek, stirring our hunger into clouds of swirling darkness, golden hope and cindered skies. A perfume of darkness that slowly explodes into delirious, mysterious light, a Talisman of blood, seething with shadows and burning magic. A miracle of scented love. An indelible prayer for skin.
That sounds good.

How many winners of The Art and Olfaction Awards you put your nose on anons?

>>15805956
For me it's 6. Fun fact is that I loved Fathom V, Nuit de Bakalite and Miyako but hated Hyde and Bat. I couldn't care less about woodcut to be fair. It's such a pity how they destroyed this promising woody-smoky opening by fucking caramel.

>>15805938
I’m not in Tier 4, fortunately, but I’ve still been avoiding everywhere but work and supermarkets, with infrequent visits to my parents’ house. I’m seeing them on Christmas Day so that should be nice. Otherwise just me, my collection of books, films, magazines and video games, and this thread, plus infrequent chats with friends on WhatsApp. Not great, but better than some so I don’t take it for granted.

>>15805956
And what about finalists? Let's see what's the highest number /frag/ can get. I will count mine in a second.

>>15805819
> harsh
> no 19
What conditions do you have?

>>15805965
17 finalists for me, 23 frags in total. It's a pity that one can't sample some of these fragrances easily. Especially those American indie houses are notoriously hard to find in Europe. It'd be great if someone was selling small sample sets of all finalists and winners from a given year.
>most hated

Either Salome by Papillon or Elephant & Roses by Maria Candida Gentile

Are there any fragrances that smell like a freshly cut thuja?
Trimmed my hedge and got reminded how great they smell. Shit is so relaxing and refreshing.

>>15805977
I like Rose All Dae but I do wish it was a little less sweet. I don't know why I bought a bottle of it. I've got other stuff I prefer wearing.

>>15805992
It smells like absolutely disgustingly sweet honeyed apple crisps. I don't know how you could get an entire bottle. One little spray stays on surfaces for weeks. I couldn't get rid of the smell out of my apartment. A bottle will last you probably around 500 years given it's performance.

>>15805996
I was sampling it and really enjoyed the smell and was drunk and bought it, but sometimes something smelling good doesn't mean it's a good perfume.

>>15805276
You realize these ads are for you right

>>15805932
Seriously though, is this a bad idea or not?

>>15805938
I’ll try to get my hands on these and Fumerie Turque in person once the holiday shopping subsides. Any thick church-like incense fragrances you can reccomend?

>>15806035
Cop or not? Price isn't an issue. I can get these two at 50% off due to a perfumery going out of business.

I've sampled the fragrances and liked Stercus enormously. Megamare I'm on the fence about, but it's the middle of a blisteringly hot summer and I live by the sea. My every day is something like >>15803825.

Are they actually decent fragrances? I'm basically a clueless retard but I chose those by preference after a few visits to a fragrance shop. They're niche, but what's the consensus here? Cop?

Can you guys please just wear normal perfumes? You smell like alcohol or literal musk. t. femanon

>>15806052
Go drown in Chanel No. 5

>>15806040
>Any thick church-like incense fragrances you can reccomend?
UNUM LAVS is literally what Pope smells like, you can't get anything more church-like. Then you can't go wrong with CdG Incense series: they're quite cheap you should sample all of them. Jovoy Les Liturges des Heures is my favorite church incense but sadly performance is so-so. I quite like OSANG that I was wearing earlier today, too. It's probably the most complex of them all.
>>15806045
>Cop or not?
Cop or not depending or what? Stercus smells fecal. I don't know Megamare but I'd rather get Seminalis. It's really pleasant creamy sandalwood that lasts for ages.
>They're niche, but what's the consensus here? Cop?
The consesus here is that you should wear what you like not what others like.
>My every day is something like >>15803825.
That's how Acqua di Sale smells like.
>>15806052
Please go back shitposting to the 'CHAD' containment thread >>15797662 It's still up

>>15806072
You reminded me that I meant to ask what people hear think of Acqua Di Sale. It sounds intriguing, but it’s pretty expensive. Is it worth sampling?

>>15804009
Funny how you describe L'Homme Ideal as vanilla-tobacco. To me cherry and incense are most prevalent. And yeah, Encre Noire is interesting, but unwearable.

>>15805191
B 683 It's a sample, but I like it.

>>15806072
Thanks. Interesting to see you liked Seminalis, I absolutely hated it. Smelled like you'd just jizzed on a girl wearing cheap sweet perfume.

>Nooo you can't kill the heckin muskdeerinos!!
Nevermind that Russian hunters also eat the meat and use the pelt and depend on musk deer for money, I prefer my musk to be ethical (and to cause cancer and pollute the ocean).

>>15806040
> church-like incense
In addition to this post >>15806072 I’d add Heeley Cardinal as well
> thick
IDK but they all are cold and thin for me being an Eastern Orthodox Christian, even Zagorsk. Maybe Gucci’s A Midnight Stroll.

>>15806052
We don't care about women's opinions

>>15806084
It's definitely worth sampling, but is an unrelenting ocean scent. No perfume ocean here, just straight up salty beach with sea weed and myrtle. Lasts forever too

>>15806149
I initially didn't want to reply to a wojackposter but you're right. The guy from Melegg eloquently put in words what I think about this in one of Wafts' videos https://youtu.be/rgfctS6bmQ0?t=2795 Fuck all of the big city vegans and vegetarians feeling entitled to dictate what small communities living in rural conditions for hundreds of years should do. My grandfather was a forester and he was sometimes taking me for deer, fox and boar hunts when I was a kid. They didn't kill these animals for fun but rather precisely to maintain the fragile ecosystem of forest after we destroyed it over last few centuries of industrialization. In past they were big predators like bears, lynxes or even wolves who were naturally controlling the population and we were coexisting in balance. Now there is nothing that would reduce number of boars or deers but maybe small amount of feral dogs. The world that PETA retards dream of is a child-like fantasy. My grandpa was showing me what disastrous effect on forest a population of such innocuous animals like deer that got out of hand can have. All shoots of young trees eaten, what means no vegetation in the spring and further deaths of birds and other small animals, and frozen to death bodies of those deer that died of hunger in the severe cold. What I remember about those hunters that the city crybabies try to slander so hard was the utter respect they had for the killed animals. They always had a prayer to the St. Hubertus over the bodies that they kneel down for.

>>15806052
Go to the other thread. They build all of their interests, taste and likings around what women think, so they might be more interested to hear what you think.

>>15806204
>We don't care about women's opinions
You can’t speak your sexist opinions for an entire thread

>>15806231
Every single comment on the original fempost is negative you slut. Go away, men are talking.

>>15806224
Uh, no. We’re just not poseurs who will wear cat piss and rabbit hair because it’s a highly rated niche fragrance.

>>15806052
As a man, I agree. Stop trying to act like sophisticates by tolerating currypit whalecum cat piss scents.

>>15806237

Been using this for awhile. Went to reup the other day and found out it was discontinued. Any recommendations on something similar i can sample?

>>15806244
Why wouldn't they just add armor in those places?

>>15806012
Yes, but the trash bag listings never show up for me on other frag pages LOL

Can anyone confirm if Code absolu is a clubbing frag or a nice cosy vanilla scent? I'm really hoping it's a comfy vanilla frag rather than a loud Eros like vanilla because I want to cop a bottle of something relaxing to wear at home in the winter off work whilst I'm doing odd things here and there on the computer.

>>15806231
I also do not care about womens opinions

Women don't know what they like, they only know to like what they're told to like

>>15806262
You’re sexist and making a sweeping misogynistic generalization.

>>15806231
I care about what my girlfriend thinks but why would I care about random women? I don't care at all if they like how I smell.

I sure wish leftists would leave and go back to their hugboxes on reddit/twitter. We're trying to discuss smelly water, every stfu with politics

It's musk cologne time broskis. However the sample is nearly depleted, the full bottle decision is moving close

>>15806260
fuck it I'll buy a 5ml and get it with xmas money if I like it

>>15806204
>Di Sale

Thanks, I’ll have to see if I can sample a few from the house, I don’t think it’ll be for me (I much prefer the citrusy, summery vibe or white floral for the summer) but it’ll be good to try something different.

>>15806481
Bengale Rouge is gross desu but Musk Cologne is based, I have a full bottle of that and Musk Khabib.

>>15806513
Why do you dislike Bengale Rouge? I’ve never seen anybody criticise it here, although I only know the guy you’re quoting and myself that talk about it.

I’m glad you posted this. I got a sample of that for free when a seller meant to send me wonderoud. I’ve never seen anyone talk about it. I’d like to smell it on a woman

I once read a fragrance description for a winter frag that was described as "feeling like a container ship in a storm at night, metallic and ocean-y", do you guys know anything like that?
Might have been Prada Luna Rossa Carbon i don't remember

>>15806742
>>15806771
>>15806781
I wear tdh but will probably buy vetiver extraordinaire

>>15806906
ADG Profondo is quite minerally–almost metallic–and aquatic.

Don’t know anything about /smells/ but I just started wearing pic and it smells good.
What’s something I should look at for a signature scent?
Looking for a very masculine scent with citrus top notes (specifically grapefruit) that will be unique and something ppl won’t recognize.

was he right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TGJgRkb2EY

>>15806818
Why are you people laughing about this shit? You understand it means your country is on the verge of collapse, right? The U.S. fracturing into a bunch of little countries that all hate each other isn’t gonna be a fun time for any of you guys. But yeah, gotta trigger the snowflakes, I guess.

>>15803273
Im only like a couple months into fragrances but god am I hooked. Currently got a big bottle of Eros for when the uni clubs open up again, Burberry London bcs Christmas, some old rituals fragrances and CK one. Looking to expand to some scents for more casual wear, and maybe one for intimate indoor wear as well. Any recs? 20 y/o student and medium budget

>>15806821
That's funny, some dude in his review on parfumo net wrote that notorious oud was dedicated to notorious B.I.G buy I haven't found any source on that. To me it's unisex/more male and I don't think biggie would wear it.

>>15807038
I know it's kind of a meme around here, but La Nuit de l'Homme really is perfect for intimate situations and it's cheap.

the older I get the less I enjoy Carlin

First sniff hot takes-
Garrigue by MPetG is platinum egoist, high quality, on steroids, very nice
Rosa Sacra by Frassai is very nice, like it very much at first sniff, but could move to love if I get to wear it more
teisenddu by Frassai is so unusual to my nose, its kinda sweet orangy, but with like light leather or something behind it. Maybe a gourmand i like? well see
Arancia di sicilia by perris MC is citrus and sweet creamy, maybe amber base. Nice
Nectary by Jorum studio is dirty floral fruit thing, I am very drawn to this one
Santal noir is very ho-hum, more synth woods, im not getting the slug of rose i was wanting, very glad i didnt BB this

>>15806634
he looks so much better with short hair
im glad hes getting over the niche vs designer thing, its all just perfume. still cant shake his compliment obsession

>>15805469
ive heard good things about that one, do you have much experience with vetiver, and can you compare it to any other vetivers for a mental reference?

>>15807296

What does everyone here think of TF Black Orchid?

How do I quit farting? It's really messing with and overpowering my perfume scent.

True or no

they love it, I don't get it, smells synth and gross to me. Nothing at all like a mans crotch.

Just get a frag with barnyard notes that overpowers your farts. Problem solved

jeremy for months now has referred to a "gay experience" and i figured it was something like gay guys hitting on him and it was traumatizing cause he's like a hardcore polish catholic guy. but after his latest video it sounds like he actually sucked a dick or something and now he's born again lmao. what the hell actually happened

Is Elysium Parfum Cologne's performance really that bad? I was planning on buying a bottle for the warmer months. I don't care about it lasting 8 hours but it needs to be noticeable for at least, say, four.

>>15807418
The mega flamer interior designer I hired wore this

does rive gauche ph smell anything like masculin pluriel? if i love masculin pluriel and i found a vintage rive gauche ph sealed at a good price is it worth a blind buy

does /frag/ wear a fragrance to job interviews?

>>15807684
starwalker by Montblanc or Vercase Man eau fraiche to come across neutral but if you have balls use Hyrax

I want to get a decent of aventus. Are the 19 batches good or are they part of the shitty new batches that I’ve read about

>>15807388
I recently smelt Guerlain vetiver, so here‘s the memory quite recent.
It‘s definitely more earthy, darker than guerlain.. you also notice the vetiver from the very first second.. it‘s less fresh, I see it working on different occasions tho, but wouldn’t wear it to a fancy event, or datenight

>>15806251
Is that a tricky question?

>>15807622
MFK MP smells like a deodorant for me, the same accord played by three fingers on a cheap piano again and again. RGPH is a dark long thoughtful symphony.

This week I picked up Noir Anthracite after trying a sample, and blind bought Au Coeur Du Desert.

Thoughts on these?

>>15807978
Are you a handsome boy?

>>15808065
Noir Anthracite is the worst fragrance I’ve ever tried. Absolutely nothing good about it whatsoever. It’s like somebody set my nasal hair on fire. I was given a sample at the counter and it ended up going straight in the bin. Absolutely vile from start to finish.

>>15808091
you gotta take it easy on the trigger and go with 2, maybe 3 sprays. you should give it another shot

>>15808100
This was two sprays. Maybe it might smell nicer on others than on me, but I despised it.

>>15808105
yeah, might just not be to your taste
i see where the people who dislike it are coming from though, anymore than a couple sprays and i feel like i just huffed spray paint
i love the woods in it though

im very exited to try coeur du desert, ive never sampled l'air so it will be a total surprise. im hoping it will fill the void left after having just sold my 2015 bottle of amber absolute, as i've read they are somewhat similar

anyone tried le male le parfum?

looking for non offensive simple very approachable perhaps light scent that is easy to pull off and won't be mocked at a blue collar job, like something that would be comfy wearing atschools and offices. i think i want comforting and relaxing and light but on the masculine side. i'm always wearing a slim fit white oxford pocketed shirt untucked with khaki colored chinos. i want to wear it, i don't want it to wear me. i think i want sweet and fresh and NOT something that requires confidence. i don't want to scream look at me. please help

>>15808167
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver or Beau de Jour

>>15808167
Consider tucking your shirt and maybe switching it up in the pants department. Also, Guerlain Vetiver.

>>15808167

>>15808201
what's going on WTF

>>15806940
Ok so apparently you’re not supposed to rub your wrists together so I tried just spritzing on my chest and the scent is totally different.
Less peppery, more bergamot forward. Has a creamy quality to it you can almost taste. Really dig it.
Still a masculine scent but very delicate in a way that women seem to respond very well to.
Idk how y’all can wear shit that smells like tobacco and dirt when women go crazy for some citrus and classic musk.

>>15808257
Uni/Work - Prada L'Homme/ADG Profumo
Date - D&G The One EDP
Club - D&G Light Blue Intense

Is it true that Profumo is good for cold weather?

impossible to get my hand on a sample of trumpers sandalwood cologne, should i dare a blindbuy?

>>15808367
It's more summer I guess but you can wear it year round
YSL La Nuit De L'Homme (I think it's the GOAT scent) is also great for date night but I think the new formulation is trash.

>>15808369
Same. I imagine it’s a scent that’s impossible to dislike. But one that maybe isn’t easy to truly love.

>>15808370

I own a bottle of Trumpers' Sandalwood. It's really safe and pleasant smell. The structure is similar to Chanel Egoiste but it's brighter than it. If you like the idea of Egoiste then you will most likely like Trumpers, too.

>>15808257
No. Different people like different things. It's up to you to find scents appropriate for these occasions out of fragrances you like. Start with the initial circle here >>15803277 all of them (but perhaps Eau des Baux, Oud Malaki and EN which are quite heavy and would be more of date/uni scents) would work in any of these situations

>>15808167
Cool Water to be fair

ACCD/LDDM is one of the best orientals and amber perfumes in existence.

>>15808198

>>15808176
i'm getting that tom ford grey vetiver is more understated, which i like. easier to wear. i don't want to draw too much attention. is this true? what do you guys think? what about Creed Original Santal orParfums de Marly Layton? how do these compare?

>>15808432
how do you even smell water lmao. chlorine?

>>15807725
Define shitty. If you mean fruity then sure, it's very pineapple forward. But all of Aventus batches are. I never understand people talking about smoky/mossy qualities in this perfume. They were anyways so subdued.

>>15807622
I don't know RG but really liked Masculin Pluriel too. Very pleasant lavender barbershop. However the price is not justified for what it is in my opinion.

Yes, why not? Just don't overspray.
