uhhh how? I'm not a fucking perma online weirdo..

I'm currently using The One EDP for normal days and Eros Flame for dates/parties.
Any recommendations for a day fragrance? I don't like stuff like D&G Light Blue, feels too "fresh" I guess. I'd unironically wear The One but it's way too hot, I like the warm feel of it.
I like Fusion d'Issey though due to the coconut, should I just go for that?
also I'm 20 and in uni so obviously I'd rather stay away from $100+ stuff.

>>15978877

>>15978877

Don't get this one. Yeah it smells good but it smells too much like Sauvage. You will smell like everyone's ex boyfriend/uncle.

Dior Sauvage EDT or EDP? Any recommendations? I’ve sampled the EDT and thought it was nice but I can get a good deal on the EDP. The review videos are all schizophrenic on this fragrance.

>>15979008
EdT, if you must. Reviews are all over the place which proves that the only person that can decide about it is you.

>>15979008
I wouldn't get it, too many people have it and appeals to the LCD of frag fags. I have a bottle I bought a while ago but only wear it to a night club or hanging out with some dumb slut

>>15979022
Yeah I already have Bleu de Chanel, which I think might make It a redundant purchase, but it’s so popular and I’m a consumer whore, I’m conflicted

That’s my sample of Pour in Homme de Caron finished. I want to sample Le 3e Homme next. I feel like PuH could be worth buying a full bottle of, but I should try 3e before deciding. Yatagan is definitely not for me, despite enjoying the smell.

Just ordered Chanel Egoiste, not the platinum one. Had to buy it on ebay since no stores sell it anymore.

>>15979584
Where do you live? I’m in the U.K. and was hoping to sample/test it when shops open here eventually.

>>15978869
The One is alright, I have the EDP but I wish I had gotten the EDT. I suspect the latter would project better, EDP just hangs too closely, longevity notwithstanding

>>15979557
Pour un Homme is a very good one, I like it a lot.

Just purchased. Outstanding stuff, really

>>15978664
not the worst desu

>>15979607
Yeah, I love it. I don’t know if it’s considered a “trilogy”, but the three I mentioned are often mentioned together and I feel I should try all of them. PuH is incredible. A masterclass of simplicity.

What fragrances have that extinguished match smell?

>>15978938
smells like a gay bar

>>15979046
>PUA sugar cookie juice is the only frag you need
filtered

>>15978869
The One is great but waaay too much for regular day to day wear, especially in summer. You don’t actually want to smell like a gentleman playboy everywhere you go.
Try Prada L‘Eau if you want something that just smells nice in a likeable, clean and expensive way.
Try Bleu de Chanel if you’re more into easygoing blue fragrances. Maybe Versace Dylan Blue if you want more spice and less smooth. While you’re at it, try Bulgari Aqva as well.
Aqua di Gio Profumo is fit for every occasion and also has a warmer feel to it but I’m not a fan of the drydown and it’s kinda boring desu.
L‘Eau D‘Issey is fresh, nice, classic and manly. Not too inoffensive or easy to like as L‘Eau or Bleu, but also not too manly and bold like Eau Sauvage.
As some other anon said, Luna Rossa Carbon is a safe bet, but L‘Eau is by far the better warm weather Prada fragrance.

>>15979615
I've heard the third one smells very mediterranean but I don't own it, & can't speak for myself. I like Yatagan but often feel like I can't wear it

>>15978938
Pretty sure I've heard it described as 'heartbreakingly beautiful,' I hope it is for your wallet's sake. Post thoughts when it arrives

>>15979630
kek no woman I know appreciates this scent

I only hang with men

>>15979591
Australia, the chanel website sells it but doesn't deliver here

>>15979637
Caron Le 3e Homme smells like a creamier, more floral barbershop fougere. It's not sweet, but it doesn't have the sort of bracing sharpness of a normal aromatic fougere.

The Caron masculines do make a great do-it-all set.

PuH for casual wear and when you're going to get close to someone
Yatagan for when you want to project strength
Le 3e Homme for the professional setting
Yuzu Man for hot summer days

What’s a good party fragrance that basic bitches will love that isn’t as immature and overly sweet as Eros?
Is Tom Ford for men a good alternative? I like it, but I’m not sure if it’s suitable for parties

>>15979686
Polo (original green bottle) or Egoiste. Either Jovan Musk, Stetson by Coty, or Aspen by Coty if you can't spare the money for one of the first two

>>15979686
ADG Profumo maybe?

>>15979686
unironically Channel homme sport or sauvage
every girl I've been with liked both of them, granted that has only been a sample size of 4 since I started wearing frags

>>15979610
I have a bottle of Zagorsk coming

>>15979686
>>15979694
Polo green isn't bad but if you're under 30 I wouldn't recommend it.
Original Stetson is very feminine. Put it in a different bottle and you'd swear it was a woman's perfume.
Stetson Aspen is okay, it reminds me of the old Stetson Sierra which was a better version. Aspen is really weak though, it won't last more than an hour on your skin.
I'd recommend Montblanc Explorer. It's similar to Aventus and at a better price

>>15979694
>>15979716
Thank you.
Egoiste honestly smells like pee to me. I’m not a fan to be honest. ADG Profumo is fine but not really for parties (just my opinion).
Have you ever smelled Tom Ford for men? If yes, would you say it’s good for parties?

>>15979694
Girls do not like original Polo anymore. It doesn't smell "clean".

In my experience, L'Instant de Guerlain is very popular with girls. It's got cacao and patchouli, but it's not overly sweet.

>>15979720
I love Allure Homme Sport. Totally forgot about that.
Honestly Sauvage is not for me. It’s one of the few frags I hate with a passion.
>>15979726
I never smelled Aventus but I’ll check Explorer out, thanks.

>>15979726
>I'd recommend Montblanc Explorer. It's similar to Aventus and at a better price
Aventus and its clones make me leery. I think guys like it more than girls do.

>>15979726
If you look like a normal masculine man Stetson will not come across as feminine. Regarding Aspen assume he won't only spray his forearms. Haven't smelled Montblanc Explorer but it sounds good then

>>15979734
>believing women like what they say they like

>>15979739
Eros and Sauvage are played out, and there's lots of clones and homages to them out there.
You may be right about Aventus, but I've gotten compliments from women for Explorer so I guess it depends on what kind of girl you're chasing.
There is no magical panty dropping scent out there, so it's more about wearing something inoffensive and confidence building than trying to find the silver bullet to get laid

>>15979610
Jovoy La Liturgie des Heures and UNUM are better catholic church incenses.

>>15979694
Maybe for a 40yo guy

>>15973727
Have you got your bottle of Young Hearts already anon?

>>15979645
Cuir de Russie is not a blind buy actually. I know it from Bloom and liked it. However, rest of my 450€ order is pretty much ordered blindly (these are mostly samples though). Will see.

>>15979764
Very few fragrances are both masculine and appealing to women. When a woman compliments a guy on his cologne, it's not the scent itself, but rather the effort he's put into his appearance.
>Clean, fit, well-groomed; fashionable clothes: well-fitted,; cologne: pleasant and he's not wearing half the bottle.

>>15979770
Filtered, enjoy your Old Spice deodorant and Hugo Boss tinfoil-and-sorbet shit

>>15979785
>Very few fragrances are both masculine and appealing to women
Bullshit.
>When a woman compliments a guy on his cologne, it's not the scent itself, but rather the effort he's put into his appearance.
Correct.

>>15979798
>>15979785
Both wrong for the worst reasons possible. Good job team

>>15979789
I've forgotten more about fragrances that you'll ever know and appreciate Egoiste myself. However, recommending these frags to a guy who has Eros as his point of reference is retarded. Either he's a zoomer or knows shit about frags. in either case these recs don't make much sense.

>>15978929
Dior Bois d'Argent
First couple minutes seem like they're mentholated, but the rest of it is beautiful.

>>15979745
I'm not saying that the original Coty Stetson is bad, but if you've never smelled it or bought it as a blind buy it can be very surprising. You'd expect a Stetson scent to be very masculine and it's really not.
And if you like Aspen then try to find a NOS bottle of Sierra first, it'll cost more but it's worth it if you can find one. Or if money isn't an issue, then hunt down a bottle of Polo Crest. Unfortunately it's also been discontinued so it's rather expensive

The point is that the WQ is a moot point, faggot. If you're not already attractive then no smell will fix it, so just be attractive and, coincidentally, wear a fragrance

>>15979813
You shouldn't extrapolate your incel experiences on others here. Having sex is nothing extraordinary coomer. Half of the world population have it. You'd understand it if you ever had some yourself.

My first "grow up" incense fragrance :^)

>>15979601
I much prefer the EDP, performance is amazing with my skin, three sprays in the morning and it's still on while I'm in the gym at 18.
>>15979636
Thank you very much anon, I'll try them. I'd like to try something non-classic though, Dylan Blue sounds great now that you mentioned the aliveness.
Acqua di Gio is just too boring for me

I wouldn't trust a basic bitch to be into something that smells like rain-slick concrete.

>>15979686
Dior Homme Original
Tom Ford Ombré Leather
Both will fit year round, are somewhat sophisticated, mature and not overplayed.

Do any of the La Nuit De Lhomme flankers smell like LNDL, but last longer than 30min?
Or even any clones?

>>15978747
I don't subscribe to any of those shitty services, but if anybody manages to create a torrent, I'll gladly watch it. Thanks in advance to the generous poster!

Tried Eau Sauvage today, it's ok. I don't really get the hype from this general but it's solid. Performance is garbage, can barely smell 4 sprays after 3 hours. I like the drydown but it's faint.

Currently waiting for Prada L'homme in the mail. Any reviews/takes on the fragrance? I liked it on spraying but am looking for opinions on actually wearing it (gf liked it though).

>>15980106
>(gf likes it though).
seriously fuck off, she probably cheats on you anyway

>>15980106
I think it smells really really good. It could last a little longer but you can’t have it all

>>15978650
i DJed a gig for the satanic temple of detroit and wore this and jex blackmore complimented me on my fragrance

>>15980101
>I don't really get the hype
It's a historically significant fragrance and the exemplar of the citrus-aromatic genre.

It's important to be aware of it but you don't have to like it. It actually smells very old-fashioned.

>>15980131
Is that her in the background?

>>15979962
No and no. You’re unfortunately out of luck, bud.

>>15980141
Thanks for clearing that up. I bought the sample to widen my range of scents so good to know it's a keystone of the genre.

>>15980106
It’s the absolute OG in my opinion. You can wear it at any given occasion at any given time and you’ll smell good.
It isn’t perfect for anything but exactly that is the charm. Just clean, fresh perfection

what the fuck does tobacco oud smell like and why does it repulse npc’s

>>15980101
I think it’s a great mans fragrance. You won’t get much compliments, some will think it’s old fashioned but it’s the poster child for a true manly, bold summer frag.
Dry down is a lot more sweet generic than it should be but yes, the performance is quite shit

>>15980215
It smells extremely rich and dense. It's got that damp pipe tobacco sweetness and tons of spices and woody, sawmill notes. The top is a boozy, woody bourbon whiskey hit. It's tremendous. The scent actually has WEIGHT.

It's not popular for two reasons: there is nothing light or airy or fresh or clean about it, and it's also very, very easy to over-spray. I heard the last versions were pretty weak, but I know the first formulations were as strong as paint stripper.

Top 3 Sleazecore Fragrances?

>>15980528
Everlast Original 1910

Opinions on Eau Sauvage vs. Eau Sauvage Parfum? I have sampled both but they seemed very similar. Does the Parfum perform better? I understand the 2012 version is different and well liked but is no longer available.

>>15980510
It's not amazing or anything but it was rather cheap and it smells pleasant and fresh so I'm good. It's a 50ml anyway so it's not a big deal.

>>15980541
M8 you might have covid cause your nose is broken. They are totally different. The EDT is a citrus aromatic while the parfum is a resinous balsamic frag.

>>15980528
whatever you can cop with a 5 finger discount without being seen

Going to test this. I need a new fragrance that's versatile for both casual/formal events.

>Bleu de Chanel
>Channel Homme Sport
>Aqua di Gio Profumo
I have personally road tested all of the above and they all had dogshit performance (not lasting more than 1 hour on my skin)
I'm really starting to think the latest batches of everything in store this year have all been watered down .

Scents that have had good performance on me:
>Musc Ravageur
>Dior Homme Intense

>>15980583
That's not really casual. It's very strong, incredibly sweet, more than a little femme.

>>15980583
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

>>15980487
Don't listen to the lame bait, that is indeed a great hot weather scent. The mint is so nice.

This smells the exact same as ADG profumo

Drakkar Noir

>Top 3 Sleazecore Fragrances?
I don't know about top 3, but Joop! Homme is Nr. 1

>>15980650
No it does not.

>>15980680
Disregard that, I’m wrong. They do smell similar.

I just picked up a cheap bottle of Azzaro Pour Homme. I love the drydown, but I really am not a fan of the opening/top notes. Can't totally describe it but I think it's the anise. It feels sharp to me

Am I a fougere guy? Would Caron le 3e Homme be a good next try?

>>15980471
nah, that's what Hyrax is for. But yeah the drydown on T rex is so fucking alpha-chad is hard to pull it off.

dragon's blood, myrre, datura, thistle, wormwood, maybe tobacco leaf.
What do yall think? Could this be a dope scent?

>>15980650
are you rarted?

>>15980607
>>15980630
there's stores that have it near me so i'll still test just to see but thanks for the heads up anons.

what about:
>Club de Nuit Intense Man
would that be a better casual any event spray?
any recs from the Tom Ford range?

>>15980757
No. Have you smelled them both, on your skin? It’s the same fragrance. Which makes sense seeing as who made them

>>15980718
APH has more attitude than most fougeres I think - it's very well blended but doesn't have the smoothness of some other barbershops imo. The opening for me has an almost haylike not that combined with the anise and lavender can be very dry and sharp.

It's one of my favourite scents but to be honest I wear it less and less.

asking again
Is there anything that smells like lolis?
Not sure I can import stuff from Japan because of the import laws.

>>15980798
>Tom Ford
Oriental Tobacco by Dossier

>>15980870
I have smelled them both. They're unique to my nose. They have similar notes, but ADG is a bit smoky and Light Blue isn't. Light Blue is a bit cleaner with some fruit. They're also blended totally differently, so idk how they could smell the same. Either way, I prefer regular Light Blue over Eau Intense anyways, and ADG is overrated.

Great that you like it too. I went through my 100ml in no time during the heatwave 2 summers ago. It wears like your own, private fresh bubble surrounding you.

>>15980495
I ordered Pamplelune and Herba Fresca decants because of you. Both were genuinely pleasant and snice but I ended up giving them away to my gf and sister as both were leaning feminine too much. Pamplelune was too sweet and Herba Fresca had too fem floral undertones.

>>15980150

Different fragrances really. Try to revisit them later. I like both (and actually own ESP 2017 and love it) for different reasons. Both are really masculine and self-confident scents but I imagine them rather on 25+ guys if you're not particularly mature for your age or don't want to project that vibe. Not really zoomzoom fragrances. More of a good shirt and 'got his shit sorted out' type of frags.

>>15980583
I know that gendering fragrances is more of a marketing scam than it's not but if a guy with sweet BR540 miasma approached me I couldn't really treat him seriously.

>>15980718
>I just picked up a cheap bottle of Azzaro Pour Homme. I love the drydown, but I really am not a fan of the opening/top notes. Can't totally describe it but I think it's the anise. It feels sharp to me
Same. For me that's exactly anise that's too much for me.
>Am I a fougere guy? Would Caron le 3e Homme be a good next try?
You might be. To be fair try to test all of the arrows originating at BdJ here >>15978657 you can. I think that this chart is done really, really well and comprehensive when it comes to fougeres.

>>15980798
>there's stores that have it near me so i'll still test just to see but thanks for the heads up anons.
Not them but sure. It's definitely worth testing and knowing given how influential fragrance it is. Just like Aventus. Even if you won't wear it.

>>15981279
>A fougere is supposed to smell like a forest, not a barbershop ffs.
It's a cultural thing. Classic British, Italian, French notions of what a fougere/barbershop should smell like all differ immensely.

>>15981340
British fougeres smell like the typical barbershop, French are more foresty, how are Italians? More citrusy?

SOTD: Bianchi The Black Knight. What are you wearing lads?

>Bad Boy Le Parfum by Carolina Herrera is a Leather fragrance for men. This is a new fragrance. Bad Boy Le Parfum was launched in 2021. Bad Boy Le Parfum was created by Fanny Bal, Bruno Jovanovic and Nicolas Beaulieu. Top notes are cannabis and Grapefruit; middle notes are Geranium and Black Pepper; base notes are Vetiver and Leather.
Seems interesting

Just ordered a small discovery set from a local perfumer for like 10$. Hoping at least one of samples interests me and doesn't just smell strongly of alcohol.

Any experience on Guerlains cuir intense? Currently in the market for a not-so expensive leather fragrance, 125ml at around 90 euros seems quite fair. Or should I rather go with Ombré Leather?

>>15980487
How long does it last?

>>15981597
BIG leather. Ombre Leather is like a little baby compared to Cuir Intense. It’s huge and a more peach-like from the osmanthus, while Ombre Leather is mostly spicy and amber when the leather has died down (which is pretty fast).
Definitely worth a try, Ombre Leather bored me after one wear but Cuir Intense doesn’t.

SOTD

Not the other anon but the sample of beau de jour was really snice. Def much gentler than azzaro, but is like 4 times the price. Anybody know a cheaper alternative?

>>15981597
This stuff is LOUD. I’d say VERY LOUD even. It’s quite uplifting, I love my bottle, survives -30 Celsius in winter and gives me 12 hours of longevity.

New malle out, notes are rose and musk, but since listed notes mean nothing, it will probably be a woody tobacco scent

>>15982035

GRAHMS! GRAHMS! WHIZ MAH BODDLE OF UHVINTUS!?

I can't get over how good Mendittorosa Archetipo is. Pic related is how it smells (+salty, sea breeze chasing this fog). Still got 2-3ml of my decant and I'm seriously considering getting a bottle. A 100ml bottle of it costs about the same as 30ml bottle of Norne and Archetipo is exactly everything I expected from the former. Probably still gonna order a sample of it to see if I was wrong but the beauty of Norne would need to be truly otherworldly to make it a better choice over Archetipo. Is here anyone who has tried both? I know that you hookeranon have an og bottle and perhaps you tried this Mendittorosa, too?

>>15982515

I’ve actually never even heard of it. Looks interesting, though. May have to explore the brand a bit.

>>15982623
I try to get samples of their frags with my orders whenever I can and non of those I tried were duds. Tried Archetipo, Le Mat, Osang and all were unique, great quality and beautifully composed but Archetipo appeals to my taste the most as I am very fond of coniferous scents. Defo try the brand out.

>>15982550
I’ve heard Blanche is good, but I have enough stuff for the time being. Maybe when it runs out I’ll consider it, but I really should slim my collection a little.

I'm new to fragrances but it's quite clear to me that it's the ultimate place for bullshit artists, in particular referring to youtubers but to every reviewer in general.

>>15982791
I think the important distinction between people like Wafts is that they aren’t “reviewers” in the sense that they try to offer consumer advice. They just express their thoughts. There are others like them, but they’re probably the most well known here. People like Jeremy that put out endless lists are either paid or just churning out easy content. I don’t disagree with you, but there are exceptions. I guess it’s easy to trick people when they can’t smell what you’re talking about. It’s such a subjective thing too.

>>15982791
>I'm new to fragrances but it's quite clear to me that it's the ultimate place for bullshit artists, in particular referring to youtubers but to every reviewer in general.
You're not entirely wrong.

>>15982791
This place is the opposite side of the coin. You’ll only get recommendations for niche bullshit that you’ve got to import if you want anything more than a sample.

>>15982824
Depends on where you are, the problem here is all the same shit is shilled over and over by the same 2-3 people.

>>15982836
I think the advice here is better over all. The YouTube reviews are all the same almost like they’re getting scripts from the designer’s marketing departments

>>15982846
I don't watch YouTube reviews anymore, and I mostly lurk here to find something new, but it's mostly recycled recs at this point.

>>15982708
he's right though. decants, swaps, etc are for poor people

>>15982858
These threads go through phases. It’s a weird place for the last six months. People are out of work. People can’t go to places to sample. They can’t go out and have lives. All we can do is stay at home and sniff our wrists, but without an income it’s not always a justifiable expense.

I think the threads have a kind of established list of classics so you hear them a lot, but when it comes to niche people do their own thing. Some people like Bortnikoff. Some like Bianchi. Some Papillon. These aren’t cheap things to sample so we either have one or two people recommending them based on their experience with little backup, or loads of people recommend the classics and it gets repetitive.

I started coming here in mid-2018 and it always has peaks and troughs, but there are constants and those constants are what give the repetition to the threads, but I think it’s nice to have consistency and a kind of respect for the classics.

>>15982872
Fuck do you live nigga? Here niggas look at you like you’re sick if you wear a mask. Must suck needing to put your life on stand by because you’re afraid of killing some old people.

>>15982858
>>15982836
Not him but I think the opposite is true. You might just have unrealistic expectations. You get <100 unique posters per thread here. Out of that, perhaps about 50% are newbs who all ask similar questions and talk about the same 10-20 most popular fragrances over and over again, and then you got 50% of more or less regular posters. The latter have their collections sorted out for the most part. How often do you need to add a new bottle? 1 or 2 times a year? For such a tiny General I genuinely think that people here discuss shitload of new interesting things. Only over the last thread or two I've learned about Bruno Acampora Young Heart and Kosciuszko by Blocki that both are under the radar everywhere on the internet and that I've started looking after samples of as they seem to be like great matches for my taste. Compare the outcome of this general with less than 100 posters a thread to r/fragrance where despite 115000 users almost every single collection seem like based off two or so YouTube TOP 10 videos, and they discuss bullshit like "what's the most pleasant sprayer for fingers" or "I wore a GIRLS PERFUME for the FIRST TIME and you WON'T BELIEVE what's happened..." I've been participating in plenty of online frag communities online but /frag/ really seems to be the most interesting, informative and fun place to be in and don't get me wrong. I would also like to have more new people with interesting tastes posting here, but they're not that common. Likewise, I'd be interested if you found any better place to discuss stuff yourself.

>>15982904
You don’t want to draw attention to yourself at the wedding, it’s not your day. However, you could go clean and simple like Colonia Essenza. Maybe if you want to push the boat out Chergui can work.

I was Best Man two years ago and wore Colonia Essenza and got compliments from a couple of people, but it’s not about me so I just wanted something clean and long lasting.

Does anyone else here get absolutely dreadful performance from Yatagan or is it just me?

>>15982902

>>15982932
Not dreadful, but I expected better. I don’t like how it develops particularly. It’s too sweet in the drydown for me.

>>15982940
New fragrance category:

Ballsamic.

>>15982932
Not absolutely dreadful but quite bad. I was overall pretty underwhelmed with this fragrance in its current form (perhaps the vintage batches are better). I expected it to smell like "rape in woods". You can get castoreum here but it's really smoothly blended. It's not disgusting-fecal at all and just gives Yatagan a slight animalic vibe. It dries down to this sweet-powdery-herbal thing that seems really uninspiring. It's sweet the way resins in coniferous trees are when you break its branch or bark. And the sweetness is definitely present from the very beginning and gets more prominent in the drydown. It's not as hypermasculine in the drydown as some people want to paint it. Pretty unisex I'd say after the opening.

>>15982953
Kek

>>15982917
People shill their fragrance collection, and once you've learned that, and sampled them, it gets pretty old, and you know who's recing what by what they write. It's entirety predictable.

>>15982940
is it really true that men sniff their fingers after scratching their balls or is this just a meme

>>15982964
I myself can be blamed for that. What do you expect though? Typically you own bottles of stuff you really like. Do you expect people to don't recommend stuff they like? I reckon if someone put their money where their mouth is it's a 100x better rec than a one from someone who simply read about a fragrance on internet or just smelled it on a testing strip. I don't think it's shilling. Some regulars have been here for years and are still active so one could've seen a particular scent being mentioned tens of times over years but I don't think it's a bad thing per se.

>>15982966
Yes. I do it every time I pull down my underwear before I take a piss. Sometimes you can catch people do it in a public restroom and it’s funny to call them out on it. They usually smile and laugh since they know everyone else does it too.

>>15982904

Serge Lutens Muscs Koublai Khan

Thrilled that this storied, incomparable fragrance has FINALLY been made available Stateside. This is the animalic to end all animalics. For sheer, jaw-dropping mammalian muskiness, not even KIEHL'S MUSK or Malle's MUSC RAVAGEUR can compete. Beeswax and Costus root blend with a musk that is.... undeniably human and undeniably masculine. Picture: the used cotton t-shirt of the hunkiest, most virile 22-year-old auto-mechanic you can imagine. This fragrance operates on an almost subliminal level, low sillage, and you will not believe its naked declaration. Musk lovers may have found their Holy Grail.

Smells like my cab driver last night and a little like my balls after a day of partying.

I have to say, this one on me is rank stank. It smells like wet groundhog. Not that I know what that smells like but, I can imagine. I am going to try it again because A. I LOVE Serge Lutens (all of them so far besides this) and B. All of you people cannot be wrong. I need to be in a different mindset. I was so thinking that I would smell like crotch that I was not open to the possibilities. Not sure which is worse, crotch or wet vermin. Anyway, will try it again.

If ever there were a scent that smelled like Bigfoot's penis, this would be IT.

I'll be blunt, this was a sweet pleasant, erotic surprise for me. It smells like slobbery roses... sweet, beyond sweet, erotic skin smell. The DryDown smells of PURE civet grease, which has this.... sweet yet faintly metallic Pear Skin, Anise vibe, with a notable fecal tone, like.. as I say, after trying to wipe with a single-ply tissue.. I'm saving this for special occasions. It's a mood fragrance. As I describe it... If I washed my mouth out with Rose water.. and then slobbered on a crotch, let it dry a bit and then sniff.... that's what MKK is. This is one.. DIRTY animal, and ah love eeet!!

>>15983052
I disagree. MKK is more of a dirty armpit smell. Completely different ballpark.

>>15983057
>Completely different BALLpark.

>>15983057
More like dirty greasy hair that was cleaned with a wet nap.

>>15982337
I tried that female fragrance he recommends, on paper, Hermes Eau de Marveilles and it's pretty good. Very sparkly citrus, floral, woody as far as I remember. It could be considered unisex or even pour homme. This is what the anon who recommnends La vie est belle to eros bros should recommend instead lol.

Has anyone found a good shampoo that smells good/feels high quality?

Every shampoo I come across today smells like chemical sludge. Even the basic ones from brands like Nivea and Khiels just smell so bad to me.

Not looking for some intricate scent DNA or anything stupid, just one that legit smells good and is high quality.

>>15983150
I was mind blown by this shampoo when I stayed at my sister's place the other time. She bought it from some all-natural pharmacy, for some laughable money like 3EUR, and I'm not sure if I could count more than a few better birch tar fragrances than this shampoo and I'm saying it as a hardcore nichefag. It's apparently made out of natural birch that's quite abundant here and has more smoky nuances, depth and texture than 100EUR+ fragrances recreating it. Maybe Arte Profumi Fumoir comes close. It's apparently good for your hair too lol

>>15983081
I actually got a sample of that a few months back and actually really liked it. I don’t know about people who like Eros, this doesn’t smell like a loud sweet frag that’s gonna garner a lot of response from women. I might grab a bottle for the summer, but I really shouldn’t be buying more bottles.

>>15983200
Which one is that? There are 20 flankers of it and the one that popped out first in google looks great. I mean these notes are looking fucking amazing.
>I don’t know about people who like Eros
The funny thing is that this feminine Hermes seems to be ten times more masculine than Eros, Ultra Male and others lol.

Is pic related a good everyday scent? I like platinum egoiste a lot, heard it's similar

>>15983187
Thanks for this anon, I can get it here in the UK quite easily for around the same price. Is it just that specific scent or do you think the whole brand is good?

They have a burdock one which I might get, will probably bring me back to my childhood. Dandelion and Burdock is a common soft drink here, although decreasing in popularity no doubt. If it smells anything like that I’m sold.

I can see the product is polish but I’m assuming you’re not from there? 3eur seems expensive for Polski prices in my experience lol

>>15983234
>Is pic related a good everyday scent?
A very good one. One of very few MFKs I would consider buying.
>I like platinum egoiste a lot, heard it's similar
Yes, they're similar. It's a modern lavender-forward fougere. The lavender-vetiver accord reminds me a lot of Eau Sauvage Parfum 2017 if it was stripped off citron and elemi.

>>15983224
yeah thats the one

>>15983235
>Is it just that specific scent or do you think the whole brand is good?
No idea really mate. Could ask her but she's not as much into fragrances as I am and I believe she bought it rather for it being a good all-natural product not the scent.
>I can see the product is polish but I’m assuming you’re not from there? 3eur seems expensive for Polski prices in my experience lol
I am actually. It actually seems to be leaning to the cheaper side of the price spectrum if you were to pay a visit to a high street pharmacy. I feel like their target are just not typical middle class girls who are into expensive natural/indie beauty products but rather regular people and hence the price. For 3EUR you don't have too much to loose here to find out.
