The new Fragrance Groups 101 chart

>>15847237
The fragrance flowchart for beginners.

I'm sampling FM Carnal Flower and boy is this unpleasant. It just smells like I drenched myself in super strong sun tan lotion. Just protect yourself in the summer and save $300.

>>15847259
I also didn't like it but because of some aromachemical there that severely irritates my nose.

Is lapidus pour homme any similar to aventus?

Aqua chadllegoria

>>15847259
It’s funny how I’ve always wanted a long-lasting white floral but that’s simply too strong. I want something in the middle.

Why is Guerlain so based?

>>15847266
I've read pampelune(sp?) is kinda dirty pissy, what do you think?

>>15847266
>this man has 9 women’s perfumes

>>15847291
They're unisex you bigot

>>15847293
I am a bigot, and I honestly have no idea what they are tbqh

how to make fragrances last longer?

>>15847304
Do another round of sprays, brainlet

>>15847304
All I know is to spray on clothes, and put some neutral lotion on top of the dried oils. And you know, spray more.

>>15847304
Wind your watch forward by several hours and it’ll seem like your fragrance has lasted all day!

>>15847312
kek

>>15847290
I think it smells like real grapefruit. Robes08 and Eugene both mentioned aqua allegoria and that’s how I got into them. They’re very high quality and affordable

Opulent Oud by Lattafa is great.

I hope those pickups are also nice.
Also purchased my first oil.

Anyone ever use scentsplit.com? they legit?

Hey /fa/, has anyone tried any fragrances from Imaginary Authors?? I just ordered a sample set but i was wondering what yalls thoughts on them were

>>15847340
Read too many negative things to try them out.

>>15847342
I’ve only tried Cape Heartache. It opens with a gorgeous smoky pine, a real earthy feel to it, and a sweet strawberry note to liven things up. Upon my first spray and maybe for an hour or so I loved it. The problem is the strawberry note is very synthetic and that sweetness lasts for the duration and as a result becomes too cloying and eventually I got sick of it. It’s so promising at first but that strawberry note completely kills it for me.

>>15847291
This comment is literally rape.

>>15847348
dang, cape heartache was one of the ones i was looking forward to trying. hope the other ones are a bit better

Enjoy life. Have sex. Eros.

Can anyone recommend a good rape in the woods smelling frag?

>>15847379
Le Labo Baie 19 smells just like dirt, wet leaves and lingering anesthetic.

>>15847237
It smells like outside. Like those sour smelling hedges you walk past in the mornings. Would not recommend

anyone got a link for mugler's tonka bean around retail price? cant find it anywhere

>>15847445

*pure tonka I meant

how can one man be so based?

>>15847342
city on fire allowed me to coom inside a women who was far too good for me

>>15847372

>>15847237
Why the fuck do girls wear these abominations

>>15847558

>>15847458
hmm, mayb she liked ur personality:)

>>15847578
definitely not but thanks

Finally got Cedrat Boise in the mail, smells amazing lads, definitely recommend.

I just bought my first cologne on an impulse. It's acqua di gio profumo. Did I fail?

>>15847447
You can get it on eBay for 120 it’s honestly worth it. Noir extreme, ferogaomo uomo, and rochas homme are good cope frags tho if you don’t wanna spend twice the retail for an a men flanker

>>15847682
no, that's a great scent and very safe. can wear it anytime really

I fucked up when I started buying fragrances - most of my collection is wearable only during the winter/fall or at night. My most summery frag is TdH and it's more of a spring/fall frag anyway. Could you /fa/malams rec me some summer frags? Maybe tell me your favorite ones, I just need a list so I can sample them and buy a bottle or two. I'm willing to try out anything.

Sotd

>>15847612
It is and I don't get the Aventus comparisons, but whatever. It turns out I'm allergic to it so I had to sell my bottle unfortunately :|

>>15847612
mancera and montale are synthetic dogshit
cedrat boise smells like a tyre drenched in lemon pledge

I've decided I'm only buying Prada fragrances from now on desu.

>>15847559
because they're woman and just rely on looks. I still end up craving that vanilla victoria secret shit.

>>15847304
You basically can’t apart from spraying on clothes. The lotion thing is bullshit.

>>15847340
Yes they are 100% legit, ignore the other response you got to this.

>>15847612
You have the taste of a mongoloid

Any suggestions for a good (male) daily spray? I work closely with one person at a time in a small room and want it to be pleasant.
Nothing seductive

>>15848083
Mugler cologne or the body shop white musk are nice clean smelling scents

>>15847264
You’ve asked already. If you spray either of them in a eye it will hurt. It’s the only similarity I can think of.

>>15847463
Jeremy said the original is better

>>15848072
>>15847311
>>15847304
Applying Aveeno daily moisturizing fragrance free lotion after a shower and giving it 20 minutes to absorb, I get at least 12 hours from CgD Avignon for instance. And I live in a very dry and cold climate.

>>15847342
I had samples of O,unknown!, Slow explosions and the cobra and the canary. All of them smelled "interesting" (especially the cobra and the canary, but then again, I love leather+orris fragrances) but they were shit in terms of quality.

>>15847237
What are your guys favorite type of SEX fragrance
>musk
>gourmand
>oriental

what's something that smells like baby powder but isn't some $10 alcohol spray bomb

>>15848334
Prada L'Homme BABY!

>>15847763
Try Carven L'Eau Intense (white bottle) and Ferrari Bright Neroli. Both punch way above their price category and are great places to start.

SOTD: Fath's Essentials - Green Water. Snice.

>>15847558
>>15847559
>>15847989
Kek, I just made the connection that these PdE bottles indeed look like Victoria Secret's body sprays. Can someone give me a quick rundown why they got so popular? Is it brand+price? Literally any 16-19 yo girl has one in her bag

sotd is en passant broskis. Bottle is almost empty

>>15847237
Just got a bianchi sample perfume. How long do they usually last?

>>15847452
Pigs have an incredible sense of smell though.

>>15848375
Really liked Green Water. very snice.

>>15848391
Most of the masculine ones at least run into the days. Dark Side got on the cuffs of a sweater last week and is yet to let go. I've come to despise that one.

>>15848410
Nice to hear. How long does the sample vial last? I’m wondering Since it’s an extrait

>>15848334
> alcohol
I bet you meant rubbing alcohol which is isopropyl alcohol. Fucking mutt cannot even apprehend the idea of existing other countries on Earth where cvs doesn’t exist.

>>15848497
Ethanol stinks also you bitter angry boy

>>15848366
>Carven L'Eau Intense
This one looks very promising, I'll try both of them out, thanks.

From what I've learnt, my favourite and most worn fragrances all share a common and noticable note of violet
>Narciso Rodriguez for Him
>Pharrell Williams/CDG Girl
>Cavalli Uomo
>Grey Flannel

Any suggestions for more violet frags I should look into?

>>15848497
>haha I got him now! He said alcohol but i KNOW he meant rubbing alcohol. Time to fuck him up

>>15848410
>Really liked Green Water. very snice.
Fun fact: my girlfriend jusr said that it smells like bubble gum

>>15848559
Lalique Hommage a L'homme maybe

Got my bortkinoff samples today. Loved the musk cologne and lo and behold they're sold out. No justice in this world.

>>15848613
you can probably find a bottle in stock somewhere else than directly from him. But yes, it's fantastic

>>15848332
I never understood why so many people see vanilla/gourmand scents as SEX fragrances. Partly the reason why musc ravageur seems so boring to me (not hating on malle, I love iris poudre and rose&cuir)
Musc tonkin on the other hand... boy, this is pure sex

Is there even something like a true summer fragrance with great performance?

>>15847264
both are animalic and dated in terms of modern fragrances. you'll smell like a creepy old date rapist wearing them. other than that get samples and compare

>>15847304
18 sprays. don't be a pussy

>>15848632
I used hacivat and trench all last summer

>>15848632
Acqua di Sale but it costs proportionally to how good it is

Any of the blue adp's any good?

>>15848723
I've read it's fishy and like secretions magnifique, any truth to that?

>See a Dior Homme Noveau Parfum in my local Boots
>Thought it was discontinued so I take a look
>It's toilette

Nice packaging.

>>15848681
trech seems hard to get and havicat is not in the budget
>>15848723
i have a sample of Heelys Sel Marin, is it similar to that? I have only tested it on paper so far and I dont know how fishy it will be on my skin. I couldnt decide if it is too fishy or not yet, the opening is definitely gorgeous though

>>15848736
It's not fishy (but salty as the name says) and definitely not like Secretions Magnifique.
>>15848759
Comparing AdS to Sel Marin is like saying BdC smells like Dylan Blue just because both are blue fragrances. Sel Marin is easy going, citrusy, minty sea fragrance. AdS is way more uncompromising.

french lover

>>15848767
Thanks, then AdS is probably not for me at this moment, I want my next summer frag to be rather easy going. A tropical breeze rather than a seastorm so to say

>>15848380
If you buy another can you also buy me one please? Call it a late Christmas present.

>>15848391
The shortest was Sex and the Sea Neroli, which lasted over twelve hours. The longest is Lover’s Tale, which might last three days comfortably.

>>15848632
I feel like “great” is relative when it comes to summer scents. I get good performance from Heeley’s Coccobello, but I think I’m in the minority.

Coach Platinum is such a nice fragrance but the sprayer fucking sucks black dick.

Which fragrance will help me achieve what happened in the video

>>15848349
>Prada L'Homme BABY!
what if im gorl :- (

>frag smells so good i start wearing it at home too
I feel like i should probably just start buying candles or something
anyone have good recs on brands/sites for home fragrances?

>>15848886
Kouros

>>15848972
Candles don't smell anywhere close to a good fragrance. I've burned through lots of good shit at home alone in corona times, just keep truckin broski

>>15848980
This anon is right. It was also a sad realiation for me over the Christmas period. I bought multiple candles from Diptyque, Nicolai, Byredo and they are absolutely not worth the price. Also shit performing. My last hope is Malle Jurassic Flower and ill probably entirely give up on candles.

I remember trying a blue Mugler Cologne bottle in a store and it was a fantastic cologne. Later I tried to find it online and I was pretty sure it looked diffrent than Love you all or Heal your mind. So I bought Come together cause Jeremy said it was good and it is indeed a great soap fragrance, however not as good as that mysterious blue one. Is there some old Mugler Cologne in a dark blue bottle or was it a discontinued flanker?

Any opinion on Replica by Maison Margiela?

>>15849094
decent. for the money, i'd much prefer looking into other niche-quality designer frags that replica is positioning itself to be in

>>15849094
Most of them are safe blind buys, until you get to the ones with black boxes/bottles. Got Jazz Club at a discount over the holidays and getting bored of it desu.

>>15849111
Is jazz club good though? Like does it last?

>>15849121
On my skin about 6 hours. I just smell the tobacco on the drydown way more than the vanilla and rum and that reminds me too much of my bum ass chainsmoker uncle who died of lung cancer.

>>15849121
They're all shit, question anyone's taste who actually wore this meme hipster crap

>>15849094
I think that if they were exclusively sold as candles they’d be far better. I find them too gimmicky to enjoy for long. I don’t see the need for 100ml of them either, I can’t imagine I’d ever enjoy Jazz Club or By the Fireplace for an entire bottle. At The Barbershop is one of the best, but there are far better barbershop fragrances out there.

They are definitely popular with some people, and I get the appeal, but they absolutely are not for me. Despite that, I do think they’re worth sampling as a curiosity because they are at least fun to try.

sold my old Ultra Male bottle to some dude that oversprayed himself with Sauvage a minute before getting out of his car, we chatted a bit, he told me something about Aventus and how girls like it, i bit my tongue, gave him a sample of Colonia Essenza as a bonus and he left
the plus side of getting jerememe'd is that there's always someone new getting jerememe'd so the Ultra Male can be passed further from hands to hands and also thank you for reading my blog post

>>15849195
Funnily enough I have a bottle of Ultra Male I also want to get rid of. I actually don’t mind it, but I never wear it. It only cost £20 but I don’t want to literally throw it out.

Last night I was drunk and ordered Sauvage EDP. I didn’t remember until I got the tracking number in this email just now. Not really sure what I was thinking as I pretty much only wear niche with the exception of Fahrenheit Parfum.

Is Sauvage EDP /effay/?

I guess I could wear it to work.

>>15849216
you were so close

>>15849231
Is there a particular year I should seek out or it doesn’t matter? I haven’t tried Eau Sauvage either

Also I want to get my wife a nice fragrance for Valentine’s Day

Her favorites are

Lush - Lord of Misrule
Tom Ford - Cafe Rose
Tom Ford - Amber Absolute
Zoologist - Bat (pre-reform)

What do?

>>15849255
Buy her Cafe Rose.

My scent of the evening is Rose & Cuir. I had high hopes for this and my first thoughts are that I don't like it at all.

>>15849246
nope, but the edp is really where it's at.

>>15849094
My mom likes beach walk

>>15849246
The 2012 version is no longer available without buying from eBay or other sites so just try whatever is available in department stores/samplng websites.

>>15849211
I listed Ultra Male and Gucci Guilty Pour Homme on an auction site, and the proportion of people being interested in ultra male was like 10:1 to the other one. Thanks Jeremy

>>15849304
Are there rules for selling fragrance on eBay?

I have most of my 30ml bottle left, plus the tin. I don't want much for it, I just want to get rid of it.

Fk musk cologne is sold out

Is Tom Ford worth the price or I should try something else? Particularly interested in Grey Vetiver.

>>15849326
Tom Ford is all over the place now. However, I would say that Grey Vetiver is 100% worth the money.

>>15849326
Noir extreme is like 75$ on eBay

>>15849326
Grey Vetiver is fantastic. Consider Guerlain Vetiver and its Extreme flanker as well.

>>15849094
Boring, synthetic shit it worth the price and popular only because they pretend to provide some unique experience to people who are used to Sauvage. Had 2 bottles, sold both

>>15849258
She already has all the ones listed, I want to get her something new along those lines.

>>15849520
Oh sorry. Have you considered Frédéric Malle? Maybe you could get her the discovery set.

>>15849265
I can look for it on the fb/plebbit frag groups. what should I expect to pay for a 2012 bottle?

>>15849524
It’s okay, I wasn’t clear enough.
I’m gonna check out the FM sets

>>15849525
I don’t know, but 2012 is strong as fuck and nothing like the often recommended newer version. It’s absolutely enormous and heavy and dark.

>>15848366
Carven L’eau intense has some weird quality to it that grosses me out

Tested out Xerjoff's Fiero today, and I'm underwhelmed. I'm looking for a citrus+mint duo, and it's there, it's kind of nice actually, but I won't spend that kind of money to smell like a landrine. Shame that Eau Sauvage lasts about 30 minutes, and I suspect that fiero will last a bit longer than that due to it's minty-woody base, but not by much.

>>15849094
Get the Replica Discovery Set with the ten 2ml samples, they are absolutely worth a try.
Under The Lemon Tree is my personal favourite by far, By The Fireplace is also very nice.

Why are pic related so good? The one a cold, woody aquatic, the other a piney, mediterranean scent. For me Tom Ford is the shit, Creeds scents were boring, only Royal Oud is almost decent.

Is fahrenheit mainstream?

>>15849713
Yeah.
>>15849696
TF is a clone house

>>15849731
>Yeah.
How much? I don't wanna be smelling the same as many other people

>>15849737
Then avoid advices from people who have a big followership. There are decent youtubers with nice frag recommendations.

Fucked one of my girlfriends in the ass for the 3rd time tonight while rocking code profumo. What are you rocking tonight anons?

>>15849760
ok finally pulled the trigger and ordered it

>>15849763
Hope you love it anon, it always gave me good feedback

>>15849328
just want to add that no one should blind buy grey vetiver
the opening is really great but 30min later i had to change clothes.. couldnt stand the weird base

>>15849745
But how often will I run upon someone else wearing fahrenheit in say a city with a population of a million

>>15849760
>sweet spicy

Nah, i pass my nigga. Gonna spray some heavy dry oud and ass-fuck some blonde white girl from tinder.

>>15849802
Honestly, here in europe you smell the sweet shit everywhere, Aventus, Sauvage, Invictus, Armani... you'll pretty safe with Fahrenheit.

>>15849528
And that's why I prefer ESP 2017 more. For gothic heavy and dark fragrances ESP 2012 is a half-assed attempt. Plethora of other fragrances (not only niche) that do it better to choose from.

>>15849094
By the Fireplace is one of my fav scents. perfect for winter/christmas time.
Jazz Club & Whispers in the Library are great
Under the Lemon Trees is alright

>>15849745
>There are decent youtubers with nice frag recommendations

Like?

>>15849910
Try Gents Scents or Best Brand Perfume, very disappointed by Jeremy, over the years the same fragrances. Also tried his recommendations, no comment...

had a sample of this a while back and I really liked it. I've also been thinking of grabbing a bottle of rose flash for a while. anyone here who's tried both?

>>15849915
Thanks, i'll take a look.

I've never tried anything recommended by him but I don't mind watching Jeremy sometimes, you're right about him being repeitive though.

>>15848945
Replica Lipstick On BABY!

piece of shit eugen is starting his own perfume line now

Bought this one, what i'm in for?

>>15850030
gotta be able to justify your spending habits by claiming it's now a "passion" and a "lifelong journey." just another cashgrab brand to pay off some of his debt.

EVERYONE POST AN OPINION THAT WILL BE UNPOPULAR WITH FRAG/FA/GS

PdM hate is way fucking over the top. They're definitely overpriced for what you're getting, but all the PdMs I've sampled have smelled nice. I would never by one at retail, but people here act like they're literal bottles of piss

>>15850551
CDNIM>Aventus

>>15850551
Jeremy is unironically /ourguy/. I love God. I love Jesus. I love Jeremy

>>15850551
Chypre Palatin smells like literal grandma. You virgins think it’s a panty dropper lmao

>>15848138

>>15850551
There are some Marlys that /fa/ seems to like. I've seen Habdan come up here multiple times in a good context. PdM hate is pretty common in fragcom in general because they shill on youtube really, really conspicuously. But the general consensus I seem to see most places is that PdM is too safe for a niche house, but apart from a few duds, most of their releases smell pretty good.

>>15850558
it's a granny panty dropper

started getting back in fragrances after like 2 years away from it. forgot how addicting it is. ive spent like $300 in the past 3 days

>>15850558
Hey guys, code chad here. I need a fragrance recommendation. I need something strong enough to cut through the stench of BO, unwashed ass, stale fast food grease, and nacho cheese powder. It has to be all natural, because my skin has become a healthy shade of translucent white from never going outside so alcohol literally gives me chemical burns. It also needs to be cheap, because I need to use a lot of it to get inside all of my fat folds. Any ideas?

>>15850709
try rubbing fresh mint in your hair

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIAZf-Q5WQc

Guess I'll have to buy more frags with vanilla for this year.

Junior software dev here. I saw on your flowchart you suggested i tie my own shoes. Guess what losers, it doesn't work for shit and my mom does it better. Try again you autists

>>15850551
I'm in all these threads and I haven't seen once anyone claim it smells like piss or sick. What they do smell like is a mall-tier fragrances, which in itself isn't a crime, but coupled with the high price, the paid youtube shilling, and the pathetic commercial angle towards pajeets, it's easy and justified to dislike them.

I prefer to have a list of ideas when I go to the store rather than roaming blindlessly

What I’m in for friends?

>>15850551
Owning more than 3-4 bottles is compulsive buyer behavior and there is absolutely no excuse to do it as a consumer.

>>15851111
i quite enjoyed sniffing these. tell me your favorite after you're done

>>15851112
I disagree with this, but nobody should own >10 bottles
Then again people spend much more on other hobbies, so who am I to judge..
>>15851117
I will! Will take me the weekend probably tho
Upon opening I got some wafts like entering a flowery

>>15849611

Got mine for 170 bucks. How much is it where you live?

>>15851111
Snice. Very snice.

what is /fa/ opinion on d&g the one EDP?

>>15847259
Tuberose
Eucalyptus
Jasmine
Coconut
Orange Blossom
Ylang-Ylang
Melon
White Musk
Bergamot

i'm really curious what did you guys expected from a womens perfume with the most feminine notes ever and the token bergamot

>>15851095
it's a "bad boy" fragrance, sweet, a tad fresh, minty. definitely try it if you never smelled it. it's a great scent, try it on skin if you like it. most ladies like it. it's up to you to decide if you want to wear a fragrance that is popular or you'd rather want to smell """""""UNIQUE""""""

opinion on this one lads

>>15851190
It's worth having. Poor performance best used at home one to one siutations

>>15851190
great scent but terrible performance

and also on this one

>>15851265
I like it, I hopped on that train not too long after it came out. Was about to wear it today, but decided to give tuxedo some love.

>>15851190
It's gross

Im taking the versace eros pill, even tho I will use it at work and not for clubbing
how is the performance? Im fucking done with perfumes that have 20cm radiums and I want to be smelled if I walk by a co worker for example

>>15851276
i non ironically would like to know what fragrances smell great to you if you think the one, the masterpiece, smells gross. non hating

the one is peak perfumery, scent wise

>>15851265

rose bomb, too unisex for me, great if you like the smell because it has great performance

>>15851282
Stop raping me!
>>15851305
I don't like the sour bit, and it's weak for an amber scent imo.

>>15851128
About $340, but even for 170 its overpriced in my opinion, maybe the other formulations were better, but now it's just better to get eau sauvage

>>15847266
Come on allegoria anon rank em up
>>15847281
Have you sampled the Diptyque florals? Specifically thinking Do Son for tuberose. If the EdTs are too airy (as they usually are) you could try the EdPs
>>15847290
It's not really pissy, but not straight forward fresh citrus, the patch gives it a bit of funk. I liked it when I was sampling it for my GF, but something in the base threw me off
>>15847342
Really unimpressed with all three I sampled. Very amateur house
>>15847433

Here's my scents, I've added full bottles of NYI, santal noble, and nectuary since then. Whole bunch of samples not in there either. I'm pretty much done buying shit unless you can convince me otherwise.

when ordering large samples (5-6ml), does vial material (plastic/glass) make any difference?

>>15851394
Oh and tobacco rose

>>15851412
I assume plastics might be more leaky prone but you should anyway secure them with plumbers tape so it shouldn’t matter

>>15850556
This. Only thing I don't like about Jeremy is that he hates fat people and I'm fat so it makes me feel bad

>>15851345
>Diptyque

I’ve only tried Tam Dao, Philosykos, and Eau Capitale. I liked them all, but none really blew me away. I might check out Do Son when I do another load of sampling.

>went to the shop
>cant tell that much of a difference between them all
>aqua di gio profumo smell good but it's like the boring smell good
>d&g the one smells good too
>versace eros is dope aswell
>l'homme ideale de guerlain is a bit feminine but not overwhelming
no idea tbqh, will probably follow the meme and buy eros since it's powerfull and I will smell good all day
are perfumes from amazon fake shit?
in france at store it's 70euros for 50ml of versace eros, can have a 200ml for the same price off amazon, kinda suspect

>>15851663
Some stuff on Amazon is legit, but it’s a gamble. Are there no discounters in France? In the U.K. we have Notino, All Beauty, and Perfume Click.

>>15851394
Patrician samples selection. I stand at a similar sanple/full bottle ratio. Don't you sometimes feel overwhelmed by all the samples? 1ml is a lot and 20-ish of cold weather 1ml samples will easily be sufficient to never touch your bottles for entire winter. Maybe it's my autism but it makes me feel quite bad desu but I enjoy trying new scents severely. What's your experience? Do you care about these things? I wish the samples were coming in 0.5 or even 0.25ml atomizers, so I could just test them with no strings attached.

>>15851730
Not him but 1ml is nothing for one sample, but will last an eternity if you have loads.

I currently have about twenty-five samples (if not more) and I haven’t sprayed from a bottle except for work in over a month. And I have thirty fucking bottles. And another coming tomorrow. I’m an idiot. But also, I’m very happy I switched to sampling instead of buying bottles because it’s really the only way to explore perfumery.

>>15850551
most people here can't detect more than 5-7 "notes" and are bunch of niche snobs. 5-7 notes including coca, mint, orange etc. thank you

>>15850551
Creed isn't worth the money no matter what fragrance it is.

>>15847842
Legit scent, girl let me go raw last Monday night

>>15849140
Gotcha. Won’t get it then.

am I retarded if I take a pen in sephora and start spraying and writing on the small papers?
I just came back home and I have one paper that smells very good, a bit of floral shit, might be eros flame

>>15851821
sounds completely normal. I've gone home with a bunch of papers to choose from, while completely forgotten every single name, making the whole search nearly useless

>>15851821
Done this exact thing on numerous occasions there. Every time I was actually asking SAs to borrow me a pen kek.

>Lulua wrote me back that I shouldn’t expect Slumberhouse in stock before February
What else did I expect?

>>15850030
God forbid he tries to make some money. You wish you had the balls to take on risk like that you faggot

Why do you guys consider some safe "blind" buys?

>>15850030
I wonder if he even has enough of a following to sell a lot of bottles

>>15851875
Maybe I have but it's so blue collar I've never mentioned it because you all sniff your own farts here and previously shit on Eugen for actually having to work for a living, instead of living off daddy's money

>simping for a homosexual Canadian who’s addicted to wearing ladies’ perfume

He does not. No one knows him. The only reason he’s known here at all is because of his le edgy videos.

>>15851095
>>15851204
>it's a "bad boy" fragrance
I don't know that I'd call it that. A real bad boy wouldn't be wearing a club monster like Eros to score compliments from across the room.

>>15851583
Diptyque are generally very natural/solid/wearable and only slightly interesting.

To expand since I was mass replying, tuberose is generally a strong/heady white floral (notwithstanding the actual fragrance concentration) and not for everyone. You might have better luck exploring others (jasmine, gardenia, honeysuckle, lily etc.) The only problem is that these can be highly feminine. If you liked Tam Dao, myrtle is a note used in it that is often used in more masculine frags inspired by Southern Italy (e.g. Tom Ford or AdP's Mitro di Panarea). Serge Lutens also has some good florals. L'Artisan has a few that can be found cheap.

I'd say just pick a house you enjoy and explore their florals, happy testing!

New cops. Megamare is fucking enormous

>>15852029
>No seminalis
Does it really smell like jizz?
What are those like?

>>15852029
>stercus
wtf

>>15852032
Seminalis smells like you’ve just jizzed on a girl wearing some cheap overly sweet body spray. Have done this and can confirm it’s identical.

Megamare starts off as a fresh aquatic with lots of citrus, but develops into sex during a midnight swim in a dirty sea after a beach party. Insane projection. Do not get it near your clothes. Sample got stuck on mine for 2 weeks.

Stercus is harder to explain. Woody, earthy, slightly animalic, musky. Not fecal despite the name.

>>15852056
m8 wtf 138 EUR for this?

>>15852026
Thanks. I enjoy En Passant a lot so I’m not averse to wearing that kind of thing (I don’t own it, but I’ve sampled it a couple of times), and the same goes for Lys Mediterranee. I’ve been wanting to sample Acqua Di Sale so maybe that will give me a better idea of what Myrtle smells like.

On the subject of Lutens, my SOTE is Un Bois Vanille. Not as sickeningly sweet as I expected. The coconut lasted minutes, but the almond is wonderful. It’s gourmand, but a very subtle one.

>>15852062
Absolutely worth it to me. Stercus will haunt you for days, and the silage of Megamare is incomprehensible.

These work for me, but definitely aren’t for the mundane or conservative person.

>>15847342
They’re good if you want a more niche scent that’s not too challenging or interesting.

My fav experience wearing Eros was when I picked up a takeaway wearing 3 sprays of it in February, waiting in the lounge for my food to cook, some boomer and his wife come in, having reserved a table. He's like 4 or 5 feet away from me, must have smelt me and looks at me in disgust, my lingering scent having ruined his evening plans.

>>15852092
I had a sample of eros on my wrist when I picked up my bro, he complained the whole car reeked of it. I love the smell but I would never buy a 100ml bottle again, 30ml would last for ages

Does its performance really suck or am I just getting noseblind?

>>15851394
how do you like the salvador dali one?

>>15852196
It's not near as dark as the reviews paint it out to be. Mossey, with some vague florals and a dusting of powder. There's patch and sandlewood in there, and you can smell a vanilla esque guerlinade in there also, it jumps out at me now. When I first got it, hedione or something l like that was really grabbing my attention, but I don't notice it now near as much as that mossy guerlinade thing it has going on. It feels more mature than antaeus, not as loud, feels like it goes with tweed jackets, sweaters, and dark acadamia stuff, like harry poppers teacher would wear. It was a fun successful blind buy, and cheap.

>>15852212
I'm not very good at describing shit, but looking at fragrantica, everyone mentions anise or licorice, and it's definitely there, I don't have much experience with that note, and gothic, which it certainly is.

>>15851743
At discounter or facebook group prices several of them are absolutely worth it. Tabarome, SMW, and Aventus are all scents that were extremely unique at their time of release. Who gives a fuck what the retail prices are.

has anyone tried layering wonderoud with sweet fragrances its really good

>>15852064
I'd really like to try En Passant. Lilac is my mother's favourite and grows around here. Lys I actually found cloying and I didn't even enjoy it on my SO as much as I thought I would. I still have a generous sample I'll save for the late Spring when it gets warm.

Sorry that my last post came off as 'teachy'. I didn't know where you were coming from. Other anons might have some good reccs that are more experienced but I've been generally out of the frag game lately. One random frag that just came to mind I've been hearing a lot of good things about though is Bruno Fazzolari's Au Dela Narcisse.

>>15849713
it was the sauvage of the 90s son

>>15852339
was the general rule in the 80s that you wore any cologne at any time of the year and just sprayed a ton of it without caring? Only because outside of cool water there seems to be only a handful of summer scents from that era by modern standards

>>15852313
Not the anon you replied to, but you should try it then, they are all over my sick mother's garden and I wore en passant a lot before she got sick but now it reminds me even more of being home with her. Best lilac I've smelled, smells exactly like lilac after rain.

in the evening here i made the switch from tobacco rose to bengale rouge

>>15852056
stercus to me smells like the aftermath of "clean" anal sex

>>15852339
i wish i lived in the 90s during my 20s

So I'm kind of trying to get to around 10 staples that I just stay with and get new bottles of. So far this is what I'm going with as far as cold weather (although I will use club de nuit in summer). Halloween Man X could just as easily be normal eros, I had eros, I still have flame, this is a bit different and kind of between those 2 for me. Also the coffee and fact it's cheaper is making me want to keep it as my sweet scent

>>15851193
> a womens perfume with the most feminine notes ever

I certainly would not enjoy smelling this on a woman, I can tell you that much. There is nothing particularly feminine about the scent, it's unpleasant in its intensity.

>>15852360
This is the other stuff I have (gave away encre noir, pino I don't really wear, I also gave away versace oud wood and the dreamer, I liked the dreamer but wasn't going to use the rest of it) . It's all fine but I don't see them being frags I need to keep forever. As far as cold weather I want to try lagerfield classic (want another weird old pick, was in scarface). And then because I like mont blanc individuel I kind of want to try Joop

>>15852183
depends to what you're comparing to. I own it, first time I ever wore it I felt like it was insanely strong, probably the novelty. I wear it rarely, but sometimes I spray my forearm when at home and it projects quite a bit, I get constant wafts of this airy citrus woodiness. check it another day and use a fragrance you know for reference, smell wise, to make sure your nose it's ok.

tl dr, average to good performance, 6h plus generally

Is Tommy Bahama any good?

Is the best way to store fragrances really to put them out of any UV light inside of their original boxes? Only because it seems like no one cares about that at all, every reviewer has thousands of dollars behind them out of box and under light despite google saying it's poison for them

>>15852368
Stop buying random cheapies

>>15852587
I mean it was random in the beginning but not now, also I said 10 I meant 8. Gonna keep those 4, add 3 more scents (2 will be summer, probably invictus and then tommy bahama sait barts, the other one will be some other old weird pick like versace for him, I really ended up liking it which is why its in there) , and then the 8th one will be something from zoologist (waiting on a trex/ chameleon sample) . I don't see a point in buying real creed.

Fahrenheit wasn't a blind buy I smelled it irl and loved it, halloween man x was in my wheelhouse as I wanted eros again but something different and like coffee. Adventus clone is just safe and I see why it's taken off

>>15852248
The only Creed fragrances I like are GIT, Viking, and Aventus. But I have Montblanc Explorer and CDNIM, I don't need Aventus. And I have Tres Nuit so I don't really need GIT.

>>15852359
Me too anon

what frags capture this aesthetic?

>>15852625
Fort & Manle Forty Thieves.

Anyone have any experience with Lalique l'insoumis or Lalique l'hommage? How do you find them?

>>15852368
where's mercedes-benz club black?

>>15852865
Seems either brand new or discontinued since I can't find it on fragrancenet. I need more summer/ year rounder scents. 4/8 so far
-Halloween Man X
-Versace for him
-Fahrenheit
-Club de nuit intense

and then the final 4 will be
-some other old weird / cheap pick, maybe lagerfield classic, or roger & gallet open black for 12 bucks
-tommy bahama saint barts, sounds good and seems to be the most liked cheap tropical
- I need some other summer scent here
- Zoologist, either cold weather or hot weather, if it's hot weather then the previous pick can be cold. I have a sample of T Rex and Chameleon coming, I am only going to have 1 of each brand, this is the niche pick. I suspect this will go to T rex if it smells like burning trees and blood, sounds fun

>>15852887
>lagerfield classic
Great scent but it's incredibly dated.

>>15852887
>lagerfield classic
my dad wears this and while it's nice, it's a total old man scent

>>15852898
>>15852905
so is the versace but I like it, if I don't like it I'll stay off it but otherwise I don't care. What even is old or new in this twisted world

>>15852928
The Versace came out a lot later than Lagerfeld though. Lagerfeld is an 80's fragrance.

Any try pic related? Wondering if it's worth the blind buy cause it's cheap (for cdg frags)

>>15849102
Such as?

>>15852928
Fahrenheit came out in the 80s and I still like it. Just because it's old doesn't mean it smells dated. Lagerfeld Classic doesn't stand the test of time if you weren't an adult when it came out.

>>15852935
lagerfield is 1978, versace l'homme is 86

>>15852941
yeah I know, but sometimes you want something OF it's era that smells like nothing today. I wrestled with this on the versace and ultimately decided on fuck it

>>15852940
cdg, lalique, etro, montale, etc

SOTD
This is so awesome i'm getting a full bottle

>>15850551
Baccarat Rouge 540 was extremely underwhelming. They say Portrait of a Lady is unisex but it just smells like old lady perfume to me.

how many full bottles do you guys have? & how many do you actually use

>>15853125
about 8. 5 of those are cheap, inoffensive stuff that i have as a rotation as office frags. the other 3 are my personal faves. i have a lot of 5-10ml samples though

>>15853114
FUCK YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT BR 540 IS FUCKING DISGUSTING. It smells synthetic, clinical, latex, fluoride, exactly like the dentist office. Not even lying I almost gagged when I first put it on, felt like someone was about to drill into my teeth.

by far the WORST frag i had ever smelled. Fuck you cock sucking useless aids infected asshole fuckacum butt

>>15853146
Did you even read my post? I don't like BR540, I said it was underwhelming you fucking retard.

>>15852613
Tres Nuit smells nothing like GIT modelek

>>15852358
Exactly.

My SOTD is pic related. It's like the DS Durga spirit in his flannel shirt, raw jeans, red wings, beard and large frame glasses and putting it on a desert. Quite interesting.

I agree with >>15852353, it’s well worth your time. It’s something that’s so simple, but executed so well. It won’t be for everybody, but I think at the very least you’ll appreciate it.

And don’t worry about being “teachy”, even if I knew the stuff you said others might not so there’s no harm in sharing it. Being anonymous makes it difficult to know, I’m sure we’ve spoken numerous times before.

My bottle of Chergui will be here within two hours! That will be my SOTD when it arrives.

If this is what vetivier smells like than I’m not interested in exploring it further

>>15853299
I would say at least sniff Guerlain Vetiver, but I feel like the note itself is a hit or a miss anyway. From what I've seen, people seem to either like it or hate it.

>>15853299
>>15853333
I have a love/hate relationship with vetiver. In some fragrances it can be beautifully smooth, crisp, clean and add a very nice lightness to a scent. In others it can be a sharp, piercing note that feels like somebody has shoved actual Vetiver up my nose.

Grey Vetiver is a good example of the former, Encre Noire the latter.

a lil bit through the fm discovery set
monsieur. was good, too sharp for me but snice, lpdt was lovely, inoffensive, and well composed, and also the background story is quite romantic

lipstick rose and rose&cuir werent pleasant experiences tho, both too flowery for my nose.. i think lipstick rose made me nauseous and apparently Im not so much into black currant, since the head in rose&cuir was too much and i remembered a note from eucris

Still looking forwar to the more male leaning scents and ofc musc ravageur

>>15853295
It’s here!

I’ve never had a bottle where the atomiser was separate. You unscrew a cap like a splash bottle and then screw the atomiser in. Is it intended for “splash” usage, or it is just a way of making the bottle look different? I don’t get it.

>>15852013
Is it that, some say it smells good some say its too powerful and is only for outside events
Im a poorfag I just want to smell good all day, fragrances that smell nice are usually total trash in projection and longevity
With covid you are at 1m minimum, there is no way people can smell your d and g the one edp for example

>>15853222
I forgot to include this and Radio Bombay when trying DS & Durga. Really like the house note they seem to use a lot

>>15853369
amber kiso is actually pretty good, wouldnt mind a bottle, but i have too much as it is. light leather in amber worked pretty well, imo

>>15852600
Hold off on the full bottles my dude, you’re in full newly discovered hobby lust mode right now. You should get a sample haul in and try some weird shit

>>15848141
>very dry and cold climate
that's the key
us summer climate anons don't stand a chance

>>15853375
I love Amber Kiso too. I buy a sample of it every time I order samples from the polish guys but never bought a bottle. It’s so heavy. I’m an oversprayer for sure but Amber Kiso is too imposing for me. Went with Bel Ambre in the end which has a similar amber note but also has a lovely DHI esque iris in the heart/base softening it and making it a lot more wearable

>>15849216
it's fine - smells a bit generic like male deodorant - but it's not bad. just nothing special or stand out about it.

What is 4chan opinion on Guerlain l'homme idéal

>>15853396
I don't like it personally, It's not an ugly smell or repulsive, but It's too strong for my taste. 2 sprays seems like too much

>>15853396
I don't really care for it, I bb it, then used it as a room deodorant until 2/3rds of the bottle is gone now. It's not too horrible after smelling it this much, but I've never wanted to wear it, even if the scent has grown on me somewhat

>>15852625
Spices must flow
Or those andy Tauer coure/Moroccan desert ones
Coure desert

Santal noir is somewhat good, it seemed really harsh when I first smelled it, but it's mellowed to my nose now. Kind of boozy fruity thing going on underneath the light synth woodiness. It lists rose, but don't expect much at all, I pick up more of that fruity musk thing.

Ultra Male worth the hype?
