Anyone have list of East Asian perfumers? I only know these three.

>Issey Miyake
>Jimmy Choo
>Kenzo

>>15988531
>Tuxedo
Very nice but why not simply get Rochas Moustache?

>>15988609
i like how the jimmy choo scents smell but its gotta be the worst performing thing of all time

>>15988609
There's a lot happening in SE-Asia. Prin Lomros and others are some of the most interesting perfumers at the moment. Not sure about a comprehensive list for East Asia but for sure Comme des Garçons is the most influential one.

>>15988621
>worst performing
I'm not familiar with this terminology what does that mean? Longevity? Scent evolution?

>>15988609
Comme des Garcons, Keiko Mecheri, Shiseido, DI SER, Yohji Yamamoto

Glad to see somebody post and old Puckrik video on the last thread, she really was great, and she started and practically finished before the who "Fragcom" bullshit kicked off. She still appears on UK TV and radio from time to time so it's good that she's still around, but for how simple and quick her videos are I'm surprised she doesn't start them again.

>>15988648
Especially the last two are great niche-quality houses

This Tommelise girl has a video from The Art and Olfaction Awards 2017 ceremony. Interesting to see how it actually looks like. Apparently she was involved in creating a finalist of it and the winner of 2019 edition. Idk why did I sleep for so long on her channel

>>15988658
Do you think it's all just a role he's playing? He's getting visibly older and uglier. I reckon maybe he's desperate for getting some attention the same way women get bitter after hitting the wall in their 30s.

I'm looking to blindbuy a summer fragrance
What do you guys recommend? I was thinking about getting Versace Blue Jeans, it's very cheap.
I heard it's for young people, I'm 20yo, I don't want to smell like a boomer with Davidoff cool water

>>15988678
Lol @ Turin's appearance at 9:32. He's like a fragrance troglodyte lol

>>15988688
I got gifted these and the smell has a weird aesthetic.

You really have to dress like the wild west cowboy for the scent to make sense on you

WHY IS THERE LIKE 6 FRAGRANCE GENERALS YOU FUCKING. NIGGERS

>>15988688
>Blue Jeans
Idk man. It’s not dates but definitely didnt age well. I wouldn’t blind buy it. What’s the budget?

>>15988713
this is the real one, mods gotta delete the others already

>>15988713
One is over the bump limit. The other three are the result of some autistic sperg trying to create bait threads to shitpost in. Apparently now he's obsessed with penises and vaginas. Ignore them and let him play with his crayons there. It's easy to spot which threads are legit.

I just tried a sample of Terror & Magnificence by BeauFort is such a sad scent. Don't get me wrong the composition is amazing it smells like wet cement with old woods like a literal old church but I don't see a place to wear this. It feels like a darker and more somber Encre Noir

Bought into the meme and got some Chanel Blue EDP the other day. No lie one spray on nape of neck lasted 24+ hours.

>>15988621
We can't discuss performance anymore here, it's apparently immoral or something

>>15988713
That's just some sperg who's been riding this general for last two weeks for fucks now what reasons. Don't engage with his posts and simply ignore him. He lives off attention and (you)'s. I've seen the same thing happening to /tip/ at some point when it was raided 1 or 2 years ago. Some people were creating 10s of fake /tip/ threads to divert attention and balkanize the general.

>>15988731
Who said that? We had quite a snice discussion about performance in last two threads with plenty of different takes.

>>15988675
They tried to out him sounds like

>>15988618
Because Tuxedo’s better. I own both. Moustache smells quite similar initially, but then becomes a fair bit different as it dries. Gets more citrusy and screechy. Tuxedo starts smooth and gets even smoother. The mellow smoothness is what makes it so damn snice.

Lagerfeld Classic worth a go?

>>15988688
For me the best summer frags are Megamare and Tom Ford Costa Azzurra.

Recently fell in love with Wonderwood, hated it first, but now absolutely love it.
Incense and pepper at first, then green due to vetiver.

>>15988724
You summed up the brand's leitmotif perfectly. They are all dark, grim scents. The only exception is Lignum Vitae that smells like... sweet, creamy biscuits and bright, joyful citruses but I suspect this is some kind of inside joke.

>>15988675
I remember a while back he made a video in which he talked about a fragrance using transgenders in their ads and he said it was a bad idea, I assume that he's being pressured by a lgbt cancel culture campaign; but then again this is Cocaine Jeremy, so who the hell knows

>>15988675
Yes and he liked it.

>>15988731
ya we can, its one of the most important things to discuss.

>>15988759
>Megamare and Tom Ford Costa Azzurra.
Ehh idk man. I've tested both recently as I'm on a constant look out for dark, aquatic fragrances. Didn't like neither. Megamare smelt like an aquatic toilet refresher with chamomile undertones and I wrote this tl;dr sniffing-note about Costa Azzurra:
>I was expecting something unique given that I bought it due to interesting looking notes like driftwood, seaweed, celery seeds, myrtle, juniper but the opening is straight-up a blue mens shower-gels smell all around. Clean, citric, fresh but eventually just a routine designer DNA. After the first hour when all citric notes already died out it becomes darker and woodier but it still smells synthetic. After a darker, synthetic middle the drydown about 5h in turned out to be a feeble woody-smoky smell (quite a good performance for a blue Private Bland nevertheless). Overall I can't shake the thought that it is a fragrance for the shanty lads type of guys going on a 'posh' vacations to French Riviera. Calling their mates back in Leeds all excited when they figure out that they have an all-inclusive bar in their hotel and posting blurry photos on Instagram from nights out chasing birds in random nightclubs they were let in but to be frank that's the audience I always imagine in my head as the target for TF Private Blend. To sum up it's a safe, synthetic (not necessary in a bad way) shower-gely designer fragrance that would work if you are looking for some aquatic with minimal edge. But to be completely honest with you I recently tested quite a few solid niche aquatics and I don't really remember well other aquatic designer staple fragrances like Bulgaris to make a fair comparison here. For Private Blend prices it's absolutely not worth it though, but might make sense to get a Signature bottle if you end up liking
However, testing these scents in Winter might not do them justice. I'll revisit them when it gets hot again.

>>15988759
Wonderwood is snice though. Have you tried Wonderoud? It's similar but I prefer it over Wonderwood.

>>15988771
this is some rare Jeremy photo

>>15988773
Performance deficiencies always get excuses and cope, it's pointless

>>15988758
That was my parents' signature scents in 90s so I may not be objective but when I revisited it some time ago after finding a bottle gathering dust in their bathroom it smelled really dated. It's one of these powerhouses with rich, super-dense tobacco/leather/boozy/woody accords supported by cloying spices and some aldehydes that were popular back in the days. You can't mistake this style for anything.

>>15988798
How about getting your head out of your ass and just accepting that not everyone is looking for TOP 10 MONSTER BEAST PERFORMANCE fragrances. Nothing wrong with it if that's what you're after but stop being such a crybaby and cut this whining about people being fine with fragrances that don't last an entire day.

>>15988776
Megamare smell intensely like a salt ocean with musk and citric for me.
I like Bvlgari Aqva too, but the original.

Thoughts?
dunno if blind buy or buy a sample first

>>15988798
let them seethe, I'll keep telling the truth and I hope others do as well.
If a scent is awesome but no one else is ever going to smell it that is a big consideration when spending money.

>>15988688
the packaging and the bottle is nightmare fuel how do these ppl even claim to have taste

>>15988814
Versace is pleb tier

I just bought 100ml of Dior Homme 2020 BECAUSE of the negative reviews
unironically

>>15988828
It's probably my favourite "new" designer fragrance.

>>15988828
>>15988831
Good for you then.

>>15988831
:3

>>15988810
I think its really undervalued, my favourite Winter designer.Sweet, artificial incense with just a hint of vanilla, but not obnoxious like Spicebomb. Its super cosy and not too feminine like other Winter designers. Performance and Projection is good on clothes in the cold.

So Jeremy likes to get blacked?

>>15988812
I am starting to get convinced that it's just a bait at this point but let me repeat this again: not everyone is so insecure and craving for external validation that everything they do is done for strangers. Different strokes for different folks though and I agree that it might be some consideration for some people but you're simply fighting with a straw man here. I have not seen anyone who would like to impose any beliefs about lack of performance being anyhow superior. You do you.

>>15988799
Ok, thanks.

>>15988856
Your beastmode last all day was the only strawman here

I am new to fragrance. I tried 20-something fragrances from a few guides. I really like Dior sauvage eau de parfum. Tomorrow I will try bleu de chanel. Are there others fragrances close to Dior sauvage I should try ?

>>15988705
Thanks, I haven't tested them all and don't want to rush it as all of her stuff is quite complex and needs some time to understand. I have tested so far: Cuir de Russie, Shiny Amber, Honey & Tar, 150 Days to Summer, Emerald Green, Silver Lavender and was really impressed with the quality of them all. I don't want to spam these threads with reviews of something as niche as work of a Russian artisanal all natural perfumer that can be purchased only from Etsy and Bloom (apart from my absolute favorites that I'm going to talk about relentlessly lol) if there's no interest in hearing about them but let me know if you would like to hear my thoughts on any of them. I ordered samples of most of her work and I'm aware that there are not many resources on the internet to read about Anna Zworykina, so I'm happy to provide you my point of view. I know that there's also another anon in these threads who owns her Cuir de Russie.

>>15988881
>Are there others fragrances close to Dior sauvage I should try ?
Dylan Blue.
If you want to test something different than "blue" fragrances like Sauvage/BdC/Dylan then take a look here >>15988542

>(Santalum Album and baked earth from India) Mitti attar is the scent of rain striking dry earth or petrichor. Mitti attar is a traditional aromatic essence of baked earth hydro-distilled into creamy high-quality Indian sandalwood. This light base note gets along with any other essence and contributes its beauty to create perfume with a light base.
Someone tried it?

What is a spring-summer fragrance for an unadjusted 40yo that doesn't identify neither as boomer nor as zoomer/millenial/whatever
basically schizocore, that smells fresh and good

>>15988856

>not everyone is so insecure and craving for external validation that everything they do is done for strangers

This is an embarrassingly stupid argument to start. You act like people buy a fragrance that they don't like just to impress people. Frankly, longevity and sillage are major concerns when buying perfume. If you don't care about performance that's cool, but to get angry about its discussion is cringe.

>>15988921
>You act like people buy a fragrance that they don't like just to impress people.
People do. I’ve had so many conversations with people who get shocked when I say I buy a fragrance because I like the smell, not because I expect others to enjoy it.

>>15988921
>but to get angry about its discussion is cringe
You're projecting. No one here is getting angry at it. Look at this and last thread and see who was stirring the shit up. You had some sillage shitposters vs. others (including me) who were calmly arguing that there are cases and people for whom it's not the most important aspect. If someone gets angry here then these would be the people who can't stand a thought of someone using EdC just to refresh oneself in the morning and to be gone after 30m-1h mark before applying some other, more substantial fragrance. Last post from me.

BOTH OF YOU AUTISTS SHUT THE FUCK UP

>>15988934
that's fine, that's actually a case where poor performance is desirable

>Sounds good but I'm not a big fan of citrus heavy scents
Try Bright Neroli then. It's a fresh, classy white-floral scent. It wears like an ironed white shirt with two buttons undone on a hot day.

>>15988531
just got it guys. so far its pretty bad as expected. smells like a rotten lemon. hopefully the half hour dry down into a good scent claims are true.

>>15989092
Funny enough I have a bottle sitting with me but I’m not sure if I like it
It was made back in the 90s when Giani was still alive so it definitely has a somewhat mature vibe

>>15989127
>he doesn't know he got memed into buying a poor clone

>>15989127
>and bought 200ml of it that will last painfully long for years
well, at least you can make a toilet refresher out of it

Chanel homme or the sport version?
I have the sport version rn but it is getting depleted

>>15988618
Because Demi Rawling says this gets her wet.

>>15989198
Literally forgot about her until just now. What happened to her?

>>15989127
1 ml of perfume is the equivalent to 12 sprays on average.
You got 2400 sprays in your 200ml bottle.
With a moderate spraying routine of five sprays you got 480 wears in this bottle.
The vile opening lasts for about 1h. So you're in for 480h of putting through this smell.
That's equivalent of 20 days of your life taken smelling "pretty bad, of a rotten lemon" as you describe.
I really don't get why people do that. All of that just to eventually wait till the drydown of a mediocre clone of a mediocre fragrance. There are thousands of fragrances out there for any budget that you would end up loving from the first spray to the very last minutes. Life's too short for fragrances you don't absolutely love.

>>15989076
Try Ferrari Bright Neroli or go with Rasasi/Armaf. Especially Hawas or Nuit Milestone. People say that's even better than Millesime Impérial, both very good longlevity and cheap.

>>15989263
Does M.I. really smell like salty watermelon?

>>15989279
Yeah, salty watermelon with a touch of Fierce vibe.

Anybody got a good rec for a really shaving cream, Barbasol scent? I have azzaro pour home and it's kind of what I want but maybe a little rough in the beginning. It gets closer on the dry down. Cheaper the better but I'm open to get some sample of more expensive ones to see if there worth it.

Drakkar or Duc de Vervins extreme edp, edt version is weak.

>>15989217
I love how in the course of 2 years she changed completely from a loud trashy Australian club thot to mimicking lifestyle of well-traveled upper class European girls with private education, double-barreled surnames, minimalist lifestyle and always dressed in conservative earth-toned Loro Piana outfits. The plot twist of century.

>>15989251

If only she could do something about that horrific accent.

>>15989328
I wish I hadn’t asked. I’m willing to bet her viewers disappeared when she got a boyfriend as well. That seems to be the way Instagram and YouTube works.

>>15988688
>Versace Blue Jeans

For a start it’s not even a summer fragrance. I’d recommend it any time of year other than summer.

Look it is a boomer tier fragrance along the same lines as Tommy and Cool Water but that doesn’t mean it’s bad.

It’s what I’d probably wear on a casual cold night at somewhere like a funfair.

>>15989339
That's the funniest part. It's enough to scroll a bit through her feed to understand that she's merely aspiring not living this kind of life. It's all a big lie (like most of Instagram to be fair here) that probably only her simp followers buy. There's nothing wrong with upper social mobility, as that's what every healthy society should be built upon, but I'm curious if she knows that's from the moment she opens her mouth everyone from the spheres she aspires to belong can actually figure out that she's an impostor.

>>15989328
Fun fact: she's 18 on this photo.

>>15989330
Why do you want to smell of Creed Aventus so badly?

>>15989339
>horrific accent
Can some Australian anon tell what is her accent like for you? Is it typical for some region/group? Does she try to hide it? I know some Australians but she sounds like some strange amalgamate of some pseudo-foreign dialect with Australian cadence. Her rhythm, intonation and the way she pronounces some words are all so off.

>>15989328
how it started

>>15989403
how it's going

>>15989366
She normally walks around at about 30-35. She was cutting age for that pic.

>>15989383
She's from Western Australia so to someone from the more cosmopolitan southeast it sounds very rural. We call them 'sandgropers'.

I guess if I had to equate it to an American accent, it would sound like someone from the south-west, like Arizona. It's not the most ignorant sounding accent, but it's closer to the bottom than the top.

redpill me on Zoologist
I'm about to purchase a bunch of their non-animalic scents - Snowy Owl sounds fucking good.
Never smelt a scent from them yet. Is this one of those brands/concepts where you never end up unironically buying a full bottle of theirs?

>>15989494
Very varied, great quality, and captivating scents. Ordering their sample set was the biggest milestone in developing my nose. I've learned a lot about different notes, smelled for the first in my life what does it mean for a fragrance to have three, distinct top-heart-basis phases, honed my personal taste in fragrances. Also didn't end up buying any full bottle.I absolutely don't regret spending money on this sample set though. I would not neglect their animalics to be fair. Zootopian does them like no one else and you'll learn a lot.

>>15989494
>>15989503

Can’t see myself ever getting through a full bottle of most of them. (Par Trex, Panda and Camel maybe) The sample set is absolutely worth it though if you want to explore what this medium has to offer. The quality is awesome, the samples will last you forever.

>>15989522
You can see yourself going through a full bottle of TRex? I like the perfume but I could hardly see myself going through a 5ml decant. Don't trick yourself into believing that it's a wearable perfume.

reddit just discovered Francesca Bianchi

Young Hearts anon, are you here? Tommelise's video hyped me up about this scent but there's barely any info online bout it. Can you tell me how do you like it before I order it?

>>15989608
Haha, it actually arrived two days after I lost my sense of smell from Corona. I still can't smell a thing so it's just sitting there taunting me.

What is the best note and why is it incense?

>>15989522
>+1
What did this plebbit retard mean by this?

>>15989615
Oh shut up I'm ordering a sample then lol

Does anyone wear LDDM or ACDD regularly? I really like them + the genre they are in, but they seem hard to pull off? Idk I'm a twenty some old white dude, seems it'd be weird if I smelled like Morocco.

>>15989558
The full 60ml would certainly last me for quite a while, as even a partial spritz from the subpar sprayer of the sample I own follows me around like nothing else. That being said, yes, I have been wearing TRex very often during the past few weeks and still can’t get enough of it. I wouldn’t necessarily use it in professional setting, but outdoors, nights out or dates - anytime.

I think there are WAY more offensive Zoologist Fragrances available compared to TRex.

I don't really think so. Ambers are one of the most popular cold weather men's fragrances (see D&G The One). Just don't overspray and remember that people at distance will rather perceive a pleasant, warm oriental bubble around you not what you get by sniffing your own wrist.

>>15989314
Thx lad. I'll check out the duc. Drakksr was ok for me but a little aggressive. Looking for that nice smooth shaving cream smell

>>15989652
Lol, this is such bad acting from Jeremy. You can see how his instincts slow down his hand before hitting head so he barely touches his forehead with this bottle and then comically exaggerate. I genuinely believe that this borderline broke mentally coke schizo talking about God, jerking and rapes is just a pose. He tries to be controversial to get clout.

>I’m willing to bet her viewers disappeared when she got a boyfriend as well. That seems to be the way Instagram and YouTube works.
That's correct. I've dated fashion models who were told explicitly by their agencies that they must not post anywhere photos of their boyfriends unless they are engaged as it limits the audience. This is the same farming that is being done on coomers on OnlyFans. They want to have some illusion of personal contact and standing a chance with these girls. Weird to see that society got to the point where many young guys treat this as some substitute for real contact.

>>15989636
I wasn't fucking around, that's really what happened. My most annoying symptom otherwise has been a stopped up nose. Perfume is one of my main interests so not being able to smell is a huge bummer. I'm hoping it comes back soon, and comes back properly. I have heard that for some people even their favorite smells are "rancid" or "sour" after their sense of smell comes back.

All I know is that when I can smell again I'm going to wear whatever the fuck I feel like. I'll probably do a rotation of Kouros, MAAI, and Muscs Koublai Khan for a bit.

Thanks for the recommendation anons, I might just blind buy that one.
Before I do so though, any opinions on Fusion d'Issey? I got a sample from a store and fell in love with the coconut note.

I must be the only person here who doesn't like New York Intense. I like all of the prominent notes, but some combination of the citrus+lavender+oakmoss just has this nasty smell to me.

>>15989743
>>15989750
https://youtu.be/_YB_2M5lt1w

>>15989770
It can be really sharp and I can imagine what you mean here despite the fact that I love it personally. Maybe try Bois de Portugal then. I find it milder while having roughly the same structure.

>>15989750
My frag vocabulary is limited but basically it started out with some bitter citrus, but more like orange peels than the fruit itself. As it dried it turned into more woody oakmoss, with some flowery notes which I suppose is the Neroli, and maybe a little musky hay note. Very green chypre like the roots and ground around an orange tree rather than the orange itself.

>>15989786
Sounds interesting. Where are you based? I sadly don't see it available for sampling anywhere here. Is it discontinued?

Thx. How would you say the 3e compares to le male or beau de jour? Those are my other references on that cart. Think I liked beau de jour the best, but it's pretty expensive. Le male is a little sweet

>>15990003
somewhat interested until i learned it had calone as a main feature of the drydown

>>15988531
This smells like Acqua Di Gio. I really like it

>>15990003
Already put a dent in the bottle. It’s a gentle, transparent fougere. Starts green, no citruses, no woody base, drydown is slightly sweet for my nose, lasts on clothes forever.

>>15990012
No calone whatsoever in the smell that I can detect and it is almost impossible to miss that nasty chemical.

>>15989951
Baraonda is the exception and I like it for sure. But BA, Duro, Boccanera, and Terroni were all screechy synthetic bs

>>15990031
interesting. I'm going to have to try it out.

>>15990035
maybe not, thats what this review in fragrantica said she smelt something marine like calone in it

>>15990011
3e isn't sweet, by any means, but it has geranium and carnation in the heart that give it a floral character. Beau de Jour does not have those florals, so it smells more "medicinal" more like an aftershave by comparison.

Get them both, frankly. Le 3e Homme is cheap.

>>15990044
“I get the feeling this feature is accentuated by the use of rose oxide, but also by the presence of marine notes such as calone, and it will largely dominate the rest of the evolution of the perfume, while a few touches of amber wood provide hold and persistence to the creation.”

She’s on periods is all. No rose, no woody ambers, no calone that I can detect.

What's the deal with Zaafaran's Oud 24 Hours?

>>15990067
is it the new scent of the 20s man? is it that distinctive and genre busting?

>>15990020
I might get a full bottle because it smells like the classic ADG mixed with the modern bubblegum thing but on beast mode

>>15990115
blue is out, green is in.

>>15990141
oh fuck yes, i can get behind that trend
>>15990121

>>15990045
Thanks again. Sound more what I'm looking for. Frankly, le male and azzaro burn my nostrils a bit until they settle down.

>>15990155

>>15990104
Just get black orchid

>>15990173
i like green things, and ive never owned a blue perfume

>>15990179
Not the point at all.

>>15990191
ok

>>15990191
Yes it is. If you don't like blue scents or gourmands you've kind of been left out in the cold.
The return of green scents means the eventual return of the power chypres of the 80s.

If you honestly, unironically, believe in alpha-beta-sigma whatever male, then you are a retarded male.

>>15990204
if i wore perfumes to impress others it would probably include some top 10 blue things, which it does not

If you honestly believe that pussies don't have particular characteristics, then you're subhuman.

If there's anything in your collection that isn't offensive and smells hideously grotesque, then you're a loser.

>>15988675
I asked the same thing when this video got posted on basenotes, and I got banned for being offensive. Go figure ive been a member there for like 12 years now.

Sampled today:
Imaginary Authors Cape Heartache
Rather disappointed as I liked the impressions spoken about it but considering the simplicity it's probably not too much of a surprise. The opening is some dank moist soil, but soon reveals the strawberry and a little bit of pine which together is nice. That doesn't last too long so it basically just becomes strawberry for hours, which is tolerable but boring and rather feminine.

Imaginary Authors Memoirs of a Trespasser
The opening is quite bizarre because there's plenty of creamy vanilla, but with black pepper underneath. It's not in the notes but others have mentioned it too. It slowly gets better as it turns to the ambers but there's still just enough of that pepper or smokey note up close to know that it's still there. Can't say I enjoy it, the spices alongside vanilla I've sampled in a few others were much more enjoyable. I also don't get much woodiness from either of these to add much balance which likely contributes to their downfall.

>>15989300
Are you me? I just posted almost exactly this in the last thread...

Maybe. What was your conclusion... brother...

What's the difference between encre noire and the intense version? Which is better?

>>15988828
I quite like Dior Homme 2020. Reminds me of TdH. My first reaction to both was pretty lukewarm, but I kept thinking about them more and more. They smell awful on tester strips. Have a bottle of both.

Got my corona test for work this afternoon
Gonna wear a couple sprays of Encre Noire since I haven't worn that in a while

>>15989652
bitches love invictus kids. she asked her female fragrance followers, that's not the real world. Surely you don't think the average girl even knows about interlude or kalan, right? half the list is understandable though.

>>15989300
>>15989314
just a question. how similar is this barbasol to the gillette smell? Seems the US uses barbasol as comparison for barbershop scents while we Europeans rather gillette.

>>15990412
i've test it. don't remember the exact longevity, i know you're probably ironic. it's basically vanilla, incense and as far as I remember as slight leather accord, just a bit. such a blrnds will last at least a few good hours.

>>15988810
i'd say sample if you're not a vanilla and incense fan. though it's one of the scents that actually smells like the note breakdown. has a bit more vanilla than what this anon implies, imo >>15988839

it's an underrated fragrance indeed, I appreciate it objectively, it's not exactly my taste but that's personal.

Do you guys have any experience with gray market sellers on eBay?
I bought this Acqua di Parma Colonia Pura set (100ml ETC + Deodorant + Shower Gel) for only 60 Euros. Thats a fucking steal considering the EDC alone is usualy over 100€.
Its in its new in its unopened original packaging and the seller has mostly good reviews and offers Paypal buys protection and free returns/refunds.

>>15990813
I see it for $50 USD for the EDC alone. So the price isn't sketchy. But there are fakes of a lot of shit you wouldn't expect to be faked so always be mindful of the seller and check their other items.

>>15989675
This, same with Eros, One Million, Invictus, Le Male

Are any of the Dior Privee line worth trying out these days, or have they all been watered down to practically nothing?

>>15990813
I usually just google their ebay name, if they're reliable enough someone has also talked about them. I just avoid the ones with too low sales or anything under 99% satisfaction.

Never buy anything that ships from Russia

>>15990750
Cope. It's way more reliable source than feedback from a coked out of his mind Chad dressed all in white approaching random thoties with camera.

>>15990813
Connect PayPal to your eBay account. If anything will sketchy just ask for a refund. PayPal in 100% cases returns the money.

i was speaking from experience. i don't care that much for this subject or for invictus, but you're deluded if you think women hate it.

>>15990906
Depends on the type of women you're targeting. If by women you mean 17y.o. club thots then you're probably right.

>>15990900
yeah but it doesn't tell what is what

SOTD: Mendittorosa Archetipo

>>15990933
>>15990893
Pointless as this is already done on Fragrantica. Look up any fragrance (in pic related it's GIT) and scroll down to "This perfume reminds me of". You'll see bunch of frags voted by their similarity to the original. That's better and more objective than any fixed in the stone list.

I damn HATE youtubers that surf on incels' insecurity, and when it's women doing that I hate it double

>>15990946
Not accurate all the time, dunno how some faggots compare some fragrances that actually are totally different.

>>15990946
>trusting fragrantica niggers
lol no thanks I'd rather trust a random schizo anon any day of the week

>>15990952
Why? It's a victimless crime.

>>15990952
Women feed on weak men, it's they nature. Either stop simping or enjoy the bareback hype.
And don't buy the shitty hyped frags in those videos.

SOTD: YSL M7 Oud Absolu

>>15989127
You should've bought Mancera Cedrat Boise. It's better and not exactly a clone.

>>15990978
Literally everyone feeds on weak men. They're the human species' equivalent of krill.

Women lure them with promises of sex.
Strong men lure them with promises of knowledge of strength.

>>15990980
Antaeus, its coldish and raining heavily today

>>15990360
I kind of relate. I always felt like people make out too much of this brand. They're quite interesting but mostly amateurish in my opinion. Nothing to write home about once you smelled enough of niche brands.

SOTD: Paco Rabanne 1 Million.

Love that top note of grapefruit.

Guys who don't want to admit to wearing a faggy-smelling fragrance, yes, I imagine they'd call it androgynous.

THANK YOU, GOD FOR ALL OF THE IDIOTS WHO BUY MY FRAGRANCE. THANK YOU, GOD. I CAN FINALLY BUY MY APARTMENT IN MIAMI. STRENGTH! KRAFT! POWER!

>>15991115
Idk, I feel like he actually might get more sane after getting an apartment if he truly treats this as a new chapter not just a way to double down on the coke-driven "Scarface" (he even mentioned that explicitly in the video lol) Miami lifestyle.

>>15991113
i bet 15 euros 0 people from this thread smelled it

>>15991113
Would be an ok stupid reach fragrance if it costed around 50EUR. The kind of fragrance you get for Christmas and use it daily never looking back.

>>15991123
I had a 5ml decant and these are my thoughts >>15991125
Bought it for meme value and resold as a part of a bigger sample lot after going through 2-3mls.

>>15991141
Alberto Morillas? Yeah he did.

>>15991141
they 100% fucked

>>15991141
This BIG NOSE is known mostly for fragrances that go on airports for about $30 per bottle. It'd all make a lot of sense if he didn't try to make an exclusive, luxurious niche thing out of it.

>>15991150
wow the power of memetics
Anyway quick rundown on Jeremy? I see posts mentioning he's losing his shit etc. can pls elaborate? Did he deal drugs or something

Anybody else watches this nigga?
pros: actual chemist, very knowledgeable on raw materials, very low hyped reviews
cons: can barely understand what he says, has his line of fragrances that are named and packaged just horribly, and well he's gay

>>15991167
>pros: actual chemist
he's a hairdresser not a chemist
>very knowledgeable on raw materials
dropping memorized chemicals names is not a substitute for an actual knowledge
>very low hyped reviews
as expected from a pretentious fag who seem too technical for people who don't know anything about fragrance and like a fucking hack for those who actually know a thing or two and can see through all his bullshit

>>15991158
no, he is mostly known for making one of the most influential fragrance in modern history and basically the inventor of what we call an aquatic fragrance. or at least he made the best (if not first) aquatic in the era that made it possible to recreate the "smell" of water.

>>15991190
>a hairdresser
but he claims he's a chemist

>>15991217
He claims many things. It's not hard to verify that

I like to use my own anal juice as cologne.

Its so refreshing seeaing someone so religious on the interent when the whole internet is full of faggotry and degeneracy.

>>15991167
I watched a few maybe six months ago. I watched them again. If you made an edit of a bunch of his videos without any reference to what it is, could you tell what he was talking about? His videos are so soulless and his approach to perfumery removes all the artistry and love from perfumery and turns it into a passionless bottle of chemicals.

Also he’s a fucking idiot nipple harvester.

>>15991249
Like when Mark Wahlberg forgave himself for blinding that Vietnamese guy.

Tempted lads.

>>15991641
If you don’t I fucking will. Thanks for letting me know.

>>15991167
I dig the hippie sorta whimsical ASMR vibe. But I dont think I actually learn anything per se watching his videos, since he talks about all the chemicals and what not and its lost on me.

Only real gripe with him is, I think its disingenuous when he talks about how long a fragrance lasts and what it becomes, when the majority of the reviews are really just, a first impression. So thats lame, other wise hes fine to me.

It's probably some because of some automated price pump due to demand. I and other anon ordered our bottles.

>>15991742

>>15991732
For £38 it's still an amazing price.

>>15991689
I prefer Larry and Moe.

>>15991749
I’ll gamble and wait, see if it drops before it sells out.

>>15991751
The gamble didn’t pay off. I guess I’ll just buy that 200ml of Eau Sauvage Parfum.

>>15991667
It’s older than you. Reformulated too many times, the reading of old reviews will give you more than the scent itself.

This afternoon and evening I’ve listened to Public Castration, Greed, and Love of Life. Might listen to The Great Annihilator and make some brownies now.

Does anyone have a Bianci discount code? Im thinking of ordering the discovery set

>>15992101
I may be mistaken but I thought the discount codes were for full bottles only.

>>15992107
Oh, never mind then lol

>>15992115
I think it’s definitely worth the price in terms of how much you get. 1.5ml of her stuff is probably worth about 4-5ml of weaker perfumes. You’ll get a lot of wears out of that set.

>>15992119
So the disc set is worth it? Its cheaper than many other sets ive seen. What are your favorites?

>>15992127
Put simply the only two I don’t like are the Sex and the Sea ones (but I still respect them),

But to answer your question my absolute favourite is Etruscan Water. If I had to get two more I’d go for The Black Knight and Sticky Fingers. Under My Skin and The Lover’s Tale are also incredible. The Lover’s Tale is simply too powerful and long-lasting to be “practical”. But god it smells so good.

>>15992134
Alright you got me excited, thanks

>>15992149
To my knowledge I was the first person here to buy that set and it all seemed to take off from there. I know somebody else had a few bottles but I never saw much discussion about her. I hope you enjoy them. They’re big, bold, and unlike anything else I’ve tried.
