Recommend me a good cologne. I want something interesting rather than "sexy" and not afraid to pay good money for it. There was a cologne I almost bought a couple years ago that was noted for it's strange smell that Napoleon the 3rd wore, I want something like that.

I know exactly what you’re looking for OP. You can’t get much more unique and sexy than this. And it’s very French nobility oriented like you said

Seems like an actual serious reply. I'm going to buy two colognes recommended in this thread, so long as they're not retard expensive/rare. I will buy expensive stuff, but only if it doesn't seem like a total meme. Would still like to find out what the stuff Louis Napoleon wore.

Good. You’re one step closer to actually getting what you want. Now the next step is to not be vague with them like you were with us

No, not so much sexy as unique. Also my Corvette is fast enough, but I refuse to buy a newer one with all the faggy Euro mid-engine bullshit. I'll torrent my movies, not go to the theater if they even exist anymore. I'll have a water after downing my pint of straight Wild Turkey 101. Does that narrow things down?

Layton is high quality, not a meme.
Whether it's worth it or not depends on your personal taste. And since I have no idea what you like, it's on you to get samples and figure out what fits your personality

Encre Noire and FR For Him are "love it or hate it" scents that depends on your tastes.
I use Encre Noire and it literally smells on open like fresh ink, but it changes as it dries down. It's unique. I like it, but I can see how not everyone would agree.
FR For Him is more of a fresh scent mixed in with petrichor, its difficult to explain exactly.
Kouros is a monster. Try it before you buy it.
TF Tobacco Oud is a masculine scent, warm, woody, with tobacco, whiskey and spice.
And if you're really feeling adventurous check out the Zootopian line of fragrances. Lots of unique stuff in there.

Don’t listen to these anons it’s a high quality scent that even celebrities wear. Make sure you buy the 125 ml from the website directly tho. This will prevent you from getting scammed and will give you the most longevity

>/fa/ board culture
Half the threads are coomer threads, forty percent are off topic shitposting and maybe ten percent are decent and useful on topic threads. Of those /wt/ and /frag/ are the best and most popular, but also devolve into quite a bit of circle jerking and snobbery.
Basically, there isn't much of value here

Cool people in this thread. Thanks for the advice.
