Haven't seen Delacourte discussed here in a while. She used to be one of the head perfumers at Guerlain, and you can get 5x2ml samples for $10 (not sure if shipping was included) here:

Im not trollling, im honest. Im just a newfag who dont gives a fuck and respect to the consolidated class of taste. In every camp, even in internet. You don't like me? Good, im unpopular opinion, its pretty normal, but stop insulting me and i will stop flaming. Give me respect and i give u respect

Pour Monsieur is pure class and not dated at all. I found Habit Rouge a bit disappointing (and dated). I prefer Geo F Trumpers Sandalwood over it.

>>15905451

>>15905384
I remember when she was starting with her brand years ago. I posted about the sample sets here but thought that no one was interested. Glad to see that it's not true. However, all of her frags are quite feminine (and musks series is underwhelming in general) but Virgile is really snice.

>>15905421
Why hand?>>15905432
I dont want because i think its private infos and u can (tiny probablity) to even find my identity. Just know that im fond of exotics and fine blends. Oud, dirty, animalics, ambergris, vetiver...i reslly like Aventus, GIT...others...

>>15905464
I got the orange sample set, maybe based on your recommendation. I agree, all the scents lean a bit too feminine for my taste, but at the same time they're all wonderful, and 10ml for $10 is a steal. If nothing else, you'll expand your knowledge just a bit more for the cost of two cups of coffee.

>>15905477
>maybe based on your recommendation
Probably not. She had only he musk and vanilla line available back then. Apparently there's at least three of us who tested Delacourte in this thread.
Agreed re: sample sets.

Frens, what fragrance is most similar to La Nuit De L'homme or The One but actually has good longevity? Thanks.

>>15905500
Dua Midnight Rendezvous

So I've been testing the Acqua Allegorias I got with my recent feminine Turin-shilled decants order. Ended up giving Pamplelune away to my sister as she already wears ELDO Remarkable People that also has a prominent grapefruit note and it was simply to feminine for me. However, this one is great and legit unisex or even masculine-leaning. The most prominent note here is shiso mint that I only smelled in De Bachmakov from The Different Company before (I almost ended up buying a bottle of it last summer). I don't remember everything about De Bachmakov but this Guerlain is a strong contender. Good and really affordable stuff.

>>15905500
these two are very influential fragrances but I don't think there are others that smell alike. almost all other hugely popular fragrances have clones or scents that are almost there. probably la nuit used to have one or more ingredients that got banned and ysl doesn't care or can't replicate a better performance version. i'm sure they know how popular it is, judging by the insane amount of flankers it has, la nuit being also a flanker. also maybe that's simply how a cardamon heavy fragrance can last, realistically. it's the cardamon that makes it what it is, a heavy dose of it. I got some cardamon coffee and it smelled like la nuit

trussardi riflesso has the same vibe and structure, but it's apple not cardamon. not quite there. better performance than la nuit, but it's a trussardi, so not by much.

Name a cuter perfumer than Anna Zworykina. Impossible.

Don't do clothes unless you plan on changing them out when you wear another fragrance. Wrists/ Hands are nice but the issue is that you have to keep washing them throughout the day and feel like you are stripping it off. The only real place you can spray that matters is the entire circumference of your neck. Maybe if you think you will radiate enough heat then also do your chest. Go heavy on the sprays, always, if you like the scent that is all that matters. Fuck other people, choke them out, make them wheeze, fuck um, you want to assert supremacy with your scent anyway. Make their noses your little fucktoy that you just fuck and suck with your fragrances.

Only the finest scent, Roger & Gallet Open Black, emanate power. You didn't become manager of sales at cheez itz by playing it safe, go in for the kill.

Fuck it. I just ordered full bottles of her Cuir de Russie and Shiny amber and the Leather, Gothic, Landscape sample sets + a custom one with Winter Blush, Fallen Leaves, Coffee and Chocolate (23 samples in total). Will update you guys... in 2 months time as April is the estimated delivery date.

>>15905711
That's around $450. Hope it'll be worth it. I'm particularly hyped about testing her Landscape fragrances.
>7 samples of LANDSCAPE collection.
>Perfumes about cool wind, sea breeze, sunlight and high skies. These are fragrances of freshness, of nature's landscapes, sheer and bright.

Any old school fans have feelings about pour monsieur or habit rouge? Chucked some decants of both in with a recent order, keen to check out some vintage freshies.

Just got mugler Aura and alien man.
Alien man smells like cheap deodorant, not horrible but not something I want to be smelling of, if you like fresh smells then you might like this. Aura is just straight up kind of shit, no idea who or why anyone would wear this.

Bottles look nice tho.

>>15905773
Agree on the bottles (Mugler's always got great bottles)

Aura smells like vanilla wintergreen. Terrible.

Alien Man is...just...safe. Smells "nice". Not good, not bad, just "nice". Considering how in-your-face the original Alien was, and considering how Angel and A*Men both pushed the envelope, I was really disappointed that Alien Man was basically just a less fruity version of Montblanc Individuel with a leather note.

If you can find it, try Mugler's Womanity. That one's very interesting.

>>15905856
>Layton
Is it the absolute safest non-Creed "niche" fragrance ever?

>>15905861
No, it's too strong. Percival is probably the safest PdM in terms of compliments and non-offensiveness

>>15905852
Wear it before you go to bed or have sexy time

>>15905867
What about Pegasus?

>>15905856
Another perfect femboy vanilla scent after Eros. They could not only enjoy it but also share this fragrance. He could wear his gf's La Vie Est Belle while she wears Layton every other day.

>>15905861
Parfum de Marly is pretty clearly trying to market themselves as an oriental-centric Creed. The packaging is a dead giveaway

>>15905867
>No, it's too strong.
Layton? Too strong? Wow. My skin just absorbs it. One hour? It's a skin scent.

>>15905877
Yeah, they're trying to walk a fine line between the upscaleness of Creed but not the utter douchieness.

>>15905886
That's genuinely shocking to hear. It's have to crack a window loud on my skin

>>15905890
I was as disappointed as anyone. It's expensive. But then some cheapie like Guerlain Vetiver lasts literally until I wash off.

>>15905874
Pegasus is pretty safe, but I've met people who thought it was too weird.

Slightly tempted to buy this, mainly because I fucking hate luckyscent sample vials
can anyone confirm whether or not this will be 90% shit?

>>15905939
I was looking at buying the same. I might pick up the "best of" collection + moth since it sounds interesting, just to see if I like any of them. I have a feeling that'll give me massive FOMO though

>>15905886
>My skin just absorbs it. One hour?
Same

>>15905939
Honestly they are all worth sampling, so the full pack is worth it IMO. But, if you don’t have $100 to drop on it you can get individual 1.5ml samples for $5 from Tigerlilly Perfumery.

My suggested must-try scents are Squid, T Rex, Bee, Hummingbird and Civet

>>15906172
I’d add Sloth to this list as an essential must-try, personally. Such a warm, cozy snice scent. Musk Deer is snice too. Kind of has a bit of that Enigma fizzy cola vibe in the opening, then becomes a smooth sweet-powdery spiced rose scent.

So yeah, they’re pretty much all worth trying kek.

Thots on this friends?

GUYS HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT PROFUNDO?? LITERAL COMPLIMENT MONSTER FOR ME. LADIES LOVE ME WHEN I WEAR IT

>>15906770
>Compliments

If you're getting "compliments" from people who aren't literally snuggling up to you, you're wearing too much.
They're not giving you a compliment. They're trying to subtly tell you that you're wearing way too much without hurting your feelings.

>>15905856
>Yes why, we all wear vanilla fragrances with a sweet-fruity apple note. Isn't this the most masculine way you can smell?

I was going to put some cash into buying a bottle of whatever niche scent takes my interest (from the "entry level" ones like TV, LDDM, Chergui etc) but that's £50 or so I could put into stocks.
Is it even worth it to buy such a small amount of shares? Like will it be worth the wait for whatever profit I might get?

Hi /frag/, it's the incense-obsessed anon again. Here's my morning line-up of Japanese incense for today (I tend to start the day with some lighter Japanese sticks and switch over to louder Indian-style stuff later on):
1. Minorien Fu-in Sandalwood (clean, pure, properly damp sandalwood to start the day)
->
2. Shoyeido Moss Garden (pleasantly sweet sandalwood-based stick with whispers of wet leaves and distant campfires) ->
3. Baieido Tokusen Kobunboku (complex sandalwood/aloeswood blend that took me a while to "get" but now that I have, it's super addictive. It reminds me of an old bookcase filled with leather-bound encyclopedias. Will probably burn 2-3 of these 30-minute sticks in a row) ->
4. Minorien Fu-in Aloeswood (like their sandalwood stick, Minorien's aloeswood is a pure, austere representation of the wood. With Japanese aloeswood-based incense both the cost and complexity can go through the roof; this is their "entry-level" stick)
For anyone curious about Japanese incense, I would recommend those first two sticks without reservation. They can be found easily on japanincense.com or Amazon

Wallstreet are just better at keeping their scam hidden and not fucking up on a massive scale, not that they're less corrupt than Africa.

Does he even explore fragrances anymore? It's always the same 20ish fragrances.

It’s really annoying to smell a fragrance I really like but not know what it is I like about it. I’m wearing French Lover right now and I ha e no idea what the smell is, but is it galbanum? Is it Angelica? Without knowing what those things smell like it’s difficult to pinpoint. I’ve never smelt oakmoss either, but only through sniffing lots of oakmoss fragrances I’ve got an idea of what it is.

Why Tom Ford Tuscan Leather yes, but Tom Ford Ombre Leather no?

>>15907879
I don’t know what you’re referring to. I sampled both years ago and chose Tuscan Leather, but these days if I were to start again I’d buy Ombré Leather. I prefer Tuscan Leather, but it’s not twice as good if we consider the price to be a major factor.

>>15907882
>I don’t know what you’re referring to
The "consensus" such as it is, feels like it adores Tuscan as a masterpiece but Ombre as weaker, more derivative, and less interesting.

>>15907883
Yeah, it’s a little outdated now I feel. I was lucky enough to try an original formulation of Tuscan and from where it’s come to what it is now is night and day. I’d actually say that if you could buy the original formulation now it would be worth that huge price increase, but now, not so much. As I said, I still prefer the smell of Tuscan but not so much that I consider it worth double the price of Ombré.

>>15907885
To clarify, I mean the consensus is outdated in that it’s based on what people thought years ago and stuck with it, not the fragrance that’s outdated.

>>15907888
Understood. Thank you.

See you later, virgins.

Anyone recommend me a frag for my gf? I got a decant of Ultra Male because I wanted to try it and she really liked it. It really wasn’t my taste, it felt way to feminine, but she told me how she would wear it if I had a bottle. I think it’s be weird to buy her a male fragrance even though Ultra Male really doesn’t smell masculine.

>>15908035
>I think it’s be weird to buy her a male fragrance even though Ultra Male really doesn’t smell masculine.
If she likes Ultra Male, then go for PdM Layton. (like the tenth time Layton's been mentioned in this thread.)
But it's unisex and it smells exactly like a high-caliber version of Ultra Male.

Not surprised at all. I really cannot comprehend why fruity vanilla scents so sweet that you can diabetes from spraying them where aggressively marketed as 'masculine' over last couple years. You people should get a reality check. This is the least masculine smell in existence. All of your bottles of Layton, Eros, Ultra Male etc could be confused when smelled blindly with some flanker of La Vie Est Belle, Mon Guerlain, Scandal etc if not for absence of some floral accents.
>>15908072
>Unisex
I cannot imagine anyone man but perhaps some femboy wearing it.

>>15908164
>. I really cannot comprehend why fruity vanilla scents so sweet that you can diabetes from spraying them where aggressively marketed as 'masculine' over last couple years
They are just trying to make M->F transitions of these young guys easier.

>>15908167
Perhaps we should do a guide of underrated by men women's vanilla scents. My girlfriend has 3 or 4 bottles of vanilla fragrances and maybe they will find something they love. I would start with Black Opium that just like Ultra Male has a prominent pear note (+quite snice coffee accord).

>>15908181
Mon Guerlain is interesting as it has a lavender-woody undertones that smell probably more masculine than the Eros drydown. There are also plenty of flankers of this scent, so our resident sweet vanilla lovers will have something to choose from.

>>15908185
This thing is basically the women's Sauvage. Obnoxiously strong projection and performance. A sweet, sweet fruity vanilla. If you are unsatisfied with Eros' performance it might be something to look into.

>>15908156
I said women's perfumes but Jovan Musk is a good suggestion.

>>15908168
lol

>>15908072
I have this theory that 'Ultra' in 'Ultra Male' was just a JPG's inside joke that got out of hand and people started to actually believe that it's indeed an ultra masculine fragrance.

>>15908199
knowing the rest of Jean-Paul Gaultier's career, that tracks.

>>15907982
Just tested out my decant of this yesterday.
Super let down. I was so excited for this, but I got a very strong bug spray/ashtray vibe from it. Strangely enough I liked it more smelling it up close.
Probably my fault for getting myself so hype for it before I got it. I was sure I'd want to buy a full bottle once I tested it.
Actually pretty let down with all my jovoy decants. Private label was another let down. Just smelled like a better made version of montale's dark aoud. Wasn't expecting that from the note breakdown.

>>15908199
This is probably true. Le Male might be dandified but still a good fougere created in a classic way. No chance that he simply overlooked releasing a flanker of his best seller called 'Ultra' that smells like a women's fragrance.

>>15908212
>Le Male might be dandified but still a good fougere created in a classic way.
I'll be honest, I stayed away from Le Male for years because of the faggy-looking bottle.

When I finally smelled it (rather, when I realized what it was, I'd smelled it here and there for years) I realized the bottle was meant to be a joke.

the general public vs fragrance enthusiasts, and even then probably an older crowd. im only thinking out loud here tho, I have no idea. Its old, people only pay attention to new stuff because new is always better to them or whatever. Who really cares, just wear it if you like it

wearing jubilation sample today broskis. It's alright, amber is not my cup of tea but it's snice enough still.

>>15908188
you're not completely off, la vie est belle could make a decent mens fragrance if tweaked, there's some similarity in the drydown, but in no way it's a substitute for eros as it is. eros has that mint plus something else that differentiate it from the girl fragrances. I would not what a girl to smell like first few hours of eros, the drydown, yeah, whatever. I know you're bashing mens sweet fragrances, (not so) subtly, but some noob might take your word for it.

I can't stop wearing quorum, bros. It's just so based.

>>15907888
I do think Tuscan Leather is a little outdated, though. It was so popular when it came out and it's so distinct that it became timestamped. It's the best example of the Tom Ford maximalism in fragrance, and that whole shtick is distinctly 2010's.

I just got my French incest sticks from Astier de Villatte. The first one I used was Yakushima.
>There is a primeval and mysterious rain forest on the island of Yakushima, full of thousand-year-old cedar trees, covered with rare mosses and wild azaleas. A marvelous and delicate earthy aroma exudes from the dense and luxuriant vegetation, with its enormous yakusugi trunks and limpid waterfalls.

Nice, safe, cheap, decent performer, very synthetic

Opens up with an artificial-smelling orange and neroli blast.
After that it settles into a nice, fresh aquatic. Not bright and fresh, there's some seawater funkiness to it. No sweetness

It's discontinued, so if you can find it, get it.

I hope he goes down the route of Luca Turin and starts roasting the fuck out of all the generic garbage he shills 24/7

>>15909388
I'm sure there's more interesting stuff he'd like to do but the YouTube algorithms simply won't allow him to do so and retain his profitability.

I'd like to see him talk more about some vintage fragrances and whether they hold up today, or women's fragrances.

Maybe branch out into other things like shaving soaps and aftershave balms.

Where does this rank compared to Pour Un Homme and Yatagan?

>>15909543
>Where does this rank compared to Pour Un Homme and Yatagan?
Very different, but it does complete a trio.

PuH is a pretty simple, very old, scent; Yatagan is a hyper-masculine 70s powerhouse; Le 3e Homme, smells like a barbershop fougere, but is a lot creamier with a prominent carnation and geranium in the heart and the drydown is a lot mossier. There's comparatively less sharpness than from a barbershop like Azzaro pH.

Definitely worth getting. It's certainly cheap enough.

>>15909551
Thanks, I think I’ll have to sample it. I adore PuH (but don’t own it). Yatagan I appreciate more than I enjoy. There’s just...something...that stops me from buying it despite having lots to like. I can’t put my finger on it. I’ve not tried Azzaro pH but I’ve wanted to for a while.

>>15909540
Fuck off to reddit, roastie

>>15909543
3 > PUH > Yatagan

>>15909624
For all the claims of shitposting that get thrown around about Turin, nobody else would write about a fragrance like that.

>>15909046
I have a bottle from 2011 and it performs only 4 hours on me/clothes. Same for Yatagan and PuH. And I am a serial oversprayer.

>>15909644
Turin didn't write that either. That was his partner Tania Sanchez. (Look at the TS postscript)

is this good?

>>15909644
This review was written by Tania Sanchez bro. See TS at the end as opposed to LT. They always must agree both on giving a fragrance 5/5, so he surely also holds 3 in high esteem but that's not his review.

>>15909654

>>15909672
I realised my mistake after I posted but I still think that my point holds that nobody writes about fragrance like him (them, apparently). They’re a fantastic double act. I didn’t know they both had to agree on the five stars though. I guessed it would have to be discussed but I didn’t know it would be mutual agreement.

>>15909675
I wore it to work today and went big. Eight sprays.

I've only ever sprayed on skin but if I wanted more of a "skin scent" that lasts, should I put a couple sprays on my workshirt instead? I like the cosy feeling of ocassional whiffs when I'm driving home end of the day.
Sorry for the noob question.

Yes, many fragrances last a lot longer on clothing without the heat of the skin to cause them to evaporate.

I like a couple Roja perfumes and own Enigma Parfum but the house is very overrated and Roja Dove is a charlatan, not a perfumer. The only reason I picked that word is because I'm testing Charlatan by Fort and Manle now. It's a little feminine, it would smell good on a woman.

>>15909844
>Roja Dove is a charlatan, not a perfumer

is there evidence for this?

>>15909859
I believe both Luca Turin and maybe Frederic Malle have offhandly referred to him as not being a perfumer.

Is this any good? I don’t wanna blind buy it and I can’t find anywhere that has samples of it.

Just got a decant of pic related.
Not feminine at all. Maybe 100 years ago, but not now.
Gonna be getting a full bottle.

If you like bitter, green Chypres, this is it.

What's the difference between the Sauvage and this, Why do they have a simlair name?

>>15909986
You're asking what the difference is between eating a steak and driving a car. They're so different it's not even worth asking.

>>15909986
Here.

>>15909894
If you do, turn your nose up at every one, loudly proclaiming to the staff "Eros/Sauvage/BDC is better"

>>15910006
I will, but not before asking to be directed to the best panty droppers.

>>15910006
Yes, I can imagine these posh Guerlain Sales Assistants just smiling to you warmly in response and walking you to the door with their eyes with an expression of pity on their faces. Totally BTFOd lmao.

>>15909986
>What's the difference between the Sauvage and this
They are very different.

Eau Sauvage is one of Dior's most historically significant men's fragrances, so they dropped the 'Eau' and created a new line that would imply the same level of quality.

In terms of scent, though, they couldn't be more different.
Eau Sauvage is a citrusy green, 1960's style aromatic chypre notable for a large quantity of hedione, which smells like jasmine and is reported to be an aphrodisiac.

Sauvage is a spicy, metallic 2010's style blue fragrance, notable for a large quantity of ambroxan, which smells like the ocean and is reported to be a total compliment-getting beast

Ok lads, Ive fell for the vaseline meme

A related question:
How do the Eau de Toilette and the Parfum compare?
I love the EdT but its performance is disappointing on my skin. I have also read that the Parfum is a lot closer to what the original was in the 60s.
I can't find it in my area so I've never been able to try it for myself.

>>15910080
I believe when people say the Parfum is closer to the original it’s referring to the 2012 Parfum, not the current one. The current formulation is still incredible and worth your time, but it’s not going to offer what EdT does.

Incest of the evening:
>In the painter’s studio, all covered in wood panelling, time seems suspended. Through the big bay window overlooking green altitude meadows, the Northern light pours her powdery rays all over brushes, palettes, tubes, paint pots, sketched canvasses and rags still wet with linseed oil. The air is fragrant with the heady smell of turpentine mixed with lovely wisps of smoke, honey, woods, tobacco and cedar wood.

>>15909671
You have no foreskin even, get lost.

>>15910080
>How do the Eau de Toilette and the Parfum compare?
Quite different fragrances.

I firmly believe that if Eau Sauvage Parfum wasn't a meme in these threads that half of the people who say they love it wouldn't love it and would never have bought it.

>>15910149
isnt it the same for almost all the frags out there especially :
>eros
>ouros
>dhi

>>15910149
I was an early adopter of it and it was off the back of somebody here talking about it. The hype for it has been built slowly over a few years.

>>15910149
I firmly believe that if Sauvage wasn't heavily marketed everywhere with hundreds of millions spent on advertisements that half of the people who say they love it wouldn't love it and would never have bought it.

>>15910149
>>15910156
>>15910158
Also just to clarify I meant that people have convinced themselves they love it because of the meme

>>15910149
I firmly believe that if Parfums de Marly wasn't paying youtubers to shill their fragrances that half of the people who say they love it wouldn't love it and would never have bought it.

>>15910084
>I believe when people say the Parfum is closer to the original it’s referring to the 2012 Parfum, not the current one.
Oh, ok. I didn't realize the current ver was a reformulation. Thanks.

Has anyone tried the Dior.com exclusive Dior Home Original yet? Is it comparable to pre 2020 or the pre 2008 silver stem vintage?

>>15910165
I don't really think so. It just simply smells great. You're right that I would never learnt about it if not /frag/ but I'm really glad that I did.

>>15910174
Yeah, it's pre-2020. if there's a difference, I can't tell.

Is it me or do women pick a fragrance they like and basically stick with that for life?

My mother only ever wore Chanel Allure EdT (I hate it now.)
My girlfriend only wears Alien EdT and has no interest in anything else. "I like this, why would I want to wear something else?"

Is having a huge collection a male thing?

>>15910218
they tend to change frag if chad prefers x instead of y
also if you offer a frag she likes she might wear it a long time
they are not like us men trying and investigating about frags, they just stick to what they know and like, but if you introduce them tonew things why not

>>15910218
>Is it me or do women pick a fragrance they like and basically stick with that for life?
Most men are like that too.

They'll just buy one bottle to replace the last.
>It smells good, it's cheap, people say they like it. Why change and buy something I might not like?

>>15910222
>they tend to change frag if chad prefers x instead of y
I am Chad. Frankly, I don't care what she's wearing, I can't smell it over my 15 sprays of Aventus.

>>15910165
Correct, same with sausage, it's the popular thing, everyone just wants to fit in

>>15910243
to be entirely fair, though, Sauvage is actually quite good when applied sparingly. The parfum is quite nice too.

It's only when the beast-mode sillage-monsters show up looking for compliments that everything goes to shit.

>>15910285
to be entirely fair, though, Eau Sauvage is really good. The parfum is very nice too.

>>15910299
Good, but fleeting

>>15910218
Mothers can settle for one scent as they don't have anyone to impress and also had enough time to pick more or less their signature. All of the girls I've dated had multiple fragrances.

>>15910304
I think that people should really appreciate finer things in fragrance than massive longevity or projection. There is some beauty in ephemeral things. One of my favorite fragrances is Guerlain Eau de Cologne Imperiale. It lasts about 15-20 minutes but brings me a lot of joy every time I spray it. Absolutely stunning smell that never fails to lift my mood up and I would never wanted it to last longer. Typically better longevity is achieved by throwing some woods and musks into the composition. I really don't care about extra few hours smelling simply like a linear vetiver. I much prefer it to be gone altogether and spray some other, more substantial fragrance without worrying about mixing different scents.

>>15910285
>Sauvage wearer thinks that his opinions are anyhow objective yet a group of others must like something only because it's a meme
kys

>>15910329
>anyone who disagrees with the group's (and therefore my) opinion is wrong
I think it is perhaps you who should kay-why-ess.

>>15910342
You didn't disagree with any opinion, you literally said that you firmly believe that others like it for wrong reasons that you made up in your mind entirely. That's very much different from saying that you don't like ESP. In any case, quite hilarious to find out that the person behind that likes Sauvage. For sure the the fact that it's most shilled everywhere fragrance of the last decade doesn't have anything to do with you liking it lol

>>15910356
I don't like it, but I'm not bitching about it either. I don't like either one.

Anyone know how long it takes for this stuff to be back in stock on luckyscents?

>>15910386

You can't justify this! I nearly had a heart attack the first time I put it on! It was like in the movies when they don't know which wire to cut. I'm ordering a high quality 10ml atomizer for this.

>>15910794
that does seem criminal, why would he do that?

bought samples of aventus and aventus cologne, what am I in for

>>15910877
You're in for perfumes that cost marginally more to make than mid-tier designer perfumes but cost 3 times as much

Creed is owned by an investment company now, you shouldn't expect anything out of them.

>>15910868
Maybe it's how traditional Turkish colognes used to come, I dunno. Regardless of the stupid bottle I think it's a great perfume. Luca Turin gave it a 5.

What does he say about Caron 3eme? I find the two (or at least according to my memory of 3eme) to be very similar, and I might even prefer the Caron.

>>15905939
Best ones in the Zoologist line are Civet, Camel, Elephant, OG Rhino, T-Rex, and my personal favourite, OG Dodo. I will forever be mad that I failed to secure a bottle bc the only people selling them here fucked up my order.
That said, Snowy Owl looks interesting. Anyone here gotten to try it yet?

>>15909879

>what do you all think of the female version of Sauvage
i miss Chance-anon, bros

>>15905350
I used to wear 'Avant Garde' by Lanvin on a daily basis, love the smell, got a ton of compliments for it, the only thing that got be better is the longevity. However, it seems to be no longer available anywhere and my bottle is almost empty.
People seem to suggest 'La Nuit de l'Homme' as a substitute or even an upgrade, but also seem to dismiss the upgraded formula. My question is: What do? Are there any other fragrances similar to those two, esp. 'Avant Garde', that you would recommend?

>>15911204
I do not know Sauvage, is this a meme smell?

Blind bought this. I don't know why and I don't know what I'm smelling

>>15911211
there are some on ebay, FYI.

>>15911161
It's literally posted below. He doesn't say anything but Tania Sanchez says this >>15909624
They're not very similar to my nose. Pour Monsieur is a way more conservative lemon-forward chypre whereas Caron 3eme is a huge aromatic, spicy fougere.

>>15911260
i got a sample of this a while back and it smelled like depression

>>15911188
It's very popular among women. You might want to try Eros, Layton or Ultra Male now that we're at feminine vanillas. The openings are a bit masculine but they all dry down to a gorgeous feminine scent.

>>15911281
>The openings are a bit masculine
They lean masculine not are masculine. Sorry.

>>15911260
It's not a good blind buy.
It's one of those "you either love it or hate it" fragrances, not a mass appealing scent

Does anyone know when Snowy Owl is actually coming out?

>>15906618
>>15906780
I think there's a time and a place for them, but I do think that very sweet, fruity frags are mostly aimed at newer buyers. Most people don't take out a leather or a heavy musk frag, spray it on their wrist, shove their nose in it, and go "oh that smells great". They may enjoy it if they smell if wafting by on someone who's wearing it in public tho. Sweet, fruity scents lure mall buyers who don't know frags in cause they smell familiar and are easy to digest. Other scents take more time.

>>15907982
I like when old ladies compliment me, cause you know its probably what young women think, but just don't want to say for fear of "looking desperate" or whatever and admitting they want this dick.
