DON'T ENGAGE WITH ANY OBVIOUS BAITS, SHITPOSTS AND LAZY JEREMYPOSTERS

Scent of the day will be Portrait of a Lady I think. It’s been a while. What are you going for?

Jump off a bridge you libtard faggot

>>15995999
For me it’s Ambra Aurea again. Finishing my decant. The thing is so dense that the atomiser got clogged and there are some leftovers at the bottom that look like an aromatic mud.

Thoughts on Davidoff Cool Water and Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Profumo?

>>15996018
Ok fresh-aromatic dumb reach fragrances

New Areej Le Dore
>Chinese Oud
>Top notes: boozy aldehyde accord, sweet orange and bergamot
>Heart notes: wild Hainan agarwood oil from 2003 and a bouquet of extremely rare, pure and natural florals; namely rose, jasmine and gardenia, all of which were grown and extracted in China
>Base notes: old Mysore sandalwood extracted in China, Indonesian vanilla tincture, oakmoss and patchouli
>$350.00 for 30ml

>>15996073
what the fuck is up with the filter here

>>15996073
Already sold out. Just as well, I don't think oud works well in perfume anyway. I think it's better on its own.

>>15996075
That's his promo material. Looks like an AI-generated "photo" for me too.
Can't speak for the smell but I'm not convinced with the presentation. It seems like a no-name fragrance you can find on a random flea market. The way he speaks about it and stresses the Chinese origin of all ingredients seems to me that it's a cynically calculated cash grab to expand his clientele to China. That's the fastest growing consumer group of luxurious products and many "heritage" brands have been doing the same thing for the last decade. But perhaps it's my disappointment with his Agar de Noir and my prejudices against him as a business-savvy guy who just tries to monetize on the success of his two first lines speaking through me.

Was it autism? For some reason he's highly regarded on Basenotes but as you could expect most of his posts are for the sake of his post count and add nothing to the discussion.

>>15996104
That's why I universally hate all hobby forums with rank/status systems of any kind and I'm still here

>>15996099
I really would love to smell/own a bottle of Russian Musk/Siberian Musk, but I don't think he's much of a perfumer. Actually I pretty much think he's a bad perfumer.

GIT with One Million. Does it make it good? I feel like it does, but I feel so guilty about enjoying it.

>>15996075
You don't like oil painting?
Tried Histoires de Parfums 1828 and 1740 today. Former wasn't too bad, the eucalyptus setting it a little apart, slightly sweet dry down but couldn't really detect it at that point. Latter had a very thick interesting opening, but quickly just became the scent of honey for hours. Struggling to find things that I enjoy all the way through.

>>15996114
Have heard about this combo before but idk man. I’m always sceptical of mixing two blockbusters together like br540 and aventus

Changed my mind, SOTD isn’t PoaL, it’s Costa Azzurra. Very snice, but for the price? No thanks. For me, it’s Cool Water.

>>15996126
FUCKACUM BUTT

>>15996104
what happened on basenotes now?

I don't think I'll try Bleu Noir since its similar enough to TDH to warrant a pass (I just can't see myself using a full bottle of TDH anytime soon even if it is a pleasant smell)
Should I give the muskier Narciso frags a sample test out?

>>15996107
I kinda agree. It seems to me that he's more of a distiller not a perfumer and the way he operates as of his last 4 or so lines is as follows
>finds some rare ingredient, let it be a brick of ambergris, dated oud oil or ancient fermented ingredients rebought from perfume companies for pennies
>thinks of a concept for this ingredients without actually testing if it works
>orders/distils more expensive materials and add to mix according to the idea he has in his head
>shit's probably complex but not necessarily smelling good together
>sprinkles some cheap ingredients like bergamot or aldehydes to make it more "perfumey"
Obviously complex and rich materials will speak for themselves anyways but his role to it is merely reduced to a logistician/business person of sorts. I have tried his stuff and can compare it to Anna Zworykina. She also works with naturals, although not as glamorous as Rusian Adam, but unlike to him her stuff smells like perfumes not a one-man-show. The compositions can often be conceptual but you can't say a bad thing about her blends and how she makes all notes compliment each other.

>>15996152
What do you mean? It's still full of boomers

>>15996123
No, not really. Wouldn't even classify that as an oil painting. Oil filter, maybe. Some Photoshop plugins that are supposed to "clean" compressed images sometimes output stuff like that.

This is awesome! I got it because of American psycho and the hype it had a couple of months ago here, but its really good, a minimalistic smell of vanilla and lavander. it smells like a nice hotel soap or clean clothing.

>>15996254
My very first impressions were “What the fuck is this?” but it’s a masterclass in simplicity. I really appreciate simple fragrances like that and En Passant. They don’t have many listed notes or claim to be complex, and they prove that sometimes less is more.

for summer, dior homme cologne or givenchy gentleman cologne?

>>15996268
former. mercedez-benz clone is also good since i dont feel guilty for spraying so much after

>>15996268
I much prefer Dior, but it’s not particularly interesting. It’s just extremely refreshing and crisp. It’ll make you smell like a big glass of lemonade filled with ice cubes.

is there any finer feeling than spraying yourself with a pretty expensive perfume just to sit butt naked alone in your filthy apartment drinking bottom shelf vodka and watching music videos in the dark?

>>15996126
I like the combo, maybe that's enough. GF likes it and she usually doesn't like thot attractants. Says it smells "clean" and indicates it seems safe for office use. I'm quite moderate with my application, too. I guess it's just insecurity, hehe.

>>15996284
Last night I was sitting in my underwear in the dark, drinking cheap whisky, chatting to women on Onlyfans, trying to buy happiness if even for a moment. Their laughter at my jokes as hollow as my existence. The taste of the whisky was irrelevant. I don’t know how it tastes, I just know it makes the days bearable. The only sound was the creaking of my chair, the music has long since stopped. I consider going to sleep but the sooner I do that the sooner the next day comes. I stay awake knowing that the happiness I felt at the moment wasn’t permanent, it was just a loan from tomorrow, and today I’m paying the interest.

But I was wearing Ambre Sultan and it was divine.

You forgot the step where you supply the "expert" known as Kafkaesque, where they provide their totally unbiased opinion.

The deep irony is how she compared the latest release to her uber rare vintage Shalimar at some point. And she might be completely right! Of course a perfume with materials past their prime is going to smell like a badly preserved vintage perfume! Congrats K, you are a bloodhound nose after all, gold star. Can't wait for the circle jerk of all the usual cultists and business partners.

Sometimes niche perfumery is an absolute joke. So called experts sometimes mention their ill-preserved vintages as "evaporated to the heft of an attar".
At the end of the day ones like Kafka are just essentially like the type of fragranticans that cry about reformulations and vintages without bothering to look into the history of perfume and why things like reformulation happen, they just want to be part of the ignorant rallying cry and want to look intelligent by throwing around the odd chemical name or perfumery factoid they haphazardly absorbed. But hey they can spam out paragraphs about their superior nose.

I need a drink.

The sheer amount of insecurity, projections and straight up insanity in your schizo brain is frightening. You live in some fictive bizzaro world. We just like to talk about smelly water, let people enjoy that. Take a break from internet and seek some help.

>>15996104
To answer the question of this thread, yes.

>>15996392
French hands typed that. However, you're right about her being a hack.

>>15996392
I cringed when Kafkaesque accused the MDCI owner of lying about reformulating Chypre Palatin. I mean it does seem to have a slightly different color but he provided gas chromatography for it.

>>15996123
1740 is the best HdP. I love how rustic but elegant it smells at the same time.

>>15996396
This is you.

>>15996415
Sure buddy

>>15996268
>for summer, dior homme cologne or givenchy gentleman cologne?
Neither. Dior Homme Cologne's trick is that it doesn't last long enough to discover that it's actually quite boring.
Givenchy Gentleman Cologne was shilled hard by Max Forti but it's just Lalique White with a better label.

Eau de Givenchy is better, but it smells like Neroli Portofino and Mugler Cologne mixed.

For something more interesting, try Caron Yuzu Man, which I think is a lot more crisp for summer.

>>15996404
Yeah, she clearly doesn't want to be seen as in the wrong. Probably the ego that came with them being a lawyer of some description. That's probably why she said she avoids having a presence on Basenotes, and yes there are some prats on their with huge egos, but I think she just didn't want to clash with the handful of actual perfumers and experts on there. But her reasoning was something to do with misogyny, yeah there are some toxic dudes on there with an alpha complex, but I think the real reason was the former.

Best lavender frag?

Just ordered this, what should i expect?

>>15996425
> Dior homme...doesn’t last

Why do fags here love poor sillage and revel in cope. What are actual summer beasts? Cheapo, designer and niche. What’s actually worthy? Don’t say fucking Layton.

>>15996425
okay now i have to try eau de givenchy

>>15996428
Oscar Lavender by Oscar De La Renta. It's cheap too.

>>15996430
Just another generic fresh green cologney thingy like Nautica Voyage etc. It smells like every guy on a small town wedding.

>>15996428
Caron Pour un Homme

>>15996428
Pour un Homme de Caron and Beau de Jour are my favourites.

>>15996441
>>15996445

>>15995984
fragfags don't like it because /fit/chads use it and get chicks while they're seething posting that it doesn't last that long and asking which frag lasts the longest while you browse 4chan all day.
fraggen is just a glorified essential oil thread. literally get into candles you dumb niggers

There must be something wrong with you emotionally or something with your self-esteem for you to consistently mention that you have fucked models/fashion models, etc. almost every thread.

>>15996491
Thank you bro.

>>15996480
I have also been to more countries than you can name, speak 4 languages, and I'm finishing a top5 school (worldwide) right now in a very satisfying subject with a six-figure job set up after I graduate. Curious how much you'll cope in disbelief now.
>>15996492
It's not me bringing chicks almost every thread. It's just funny to see how quickly they change their minds and from "/fit/chads" go to "n-n-no you don't" lol

>>15996502
Sure thing, champ.

I'm looking for something for the spring/summer and the pharmacy near me has L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Sport, and Invictus Paco Rabanne for sale.

Which of the two should I get?

Need a few weeks for a scent to grow on me or not so sampling doesn't help me I just buy a bottle of something and hope.

>>15996510
L’Eau d’Issey all the way

>>15996510
L’Eau d’Issey

>>15996510
Issey.

I can't take that Invictus bottle seriously.

>>15996504
You've become funnily meek for such a loudmouthed shitposter

>>15996523

>>15996523
Based anon bullying shitposters into submission. Are you the guy who was posting his tinder stories here a long time ago?

you guys feed the trolls just as much as you bitch about them.
your opinion on perfume shouldn't be predicated on anything other than your personal opinion, since thats all its worth to those reading

>>15996502
You can easily prove any one of these statements and pretty much the rest will follow.

Bengale Rouge is beautiful but it’s so easy to overspray. It’s a shame really that I like all of her fragrances but none of them except this and Tobacco Rose feel like ones I’d buy a bottle of, and even then I can’t see myself actually buying them. But I’m still really looking forward to her next perfume.

>>15996533

Its like a hetero onlyfans here, he throws out his personal favorites, and the pathetic salivate on his opinion, as if they could be him by wearing what he wears and liking what he likes. Slightly more sophisticated than the eceleb top10 pajeets you mock, if only because you have to both read and type here.

If you could choose one old fragrance that could be returned to its original formulation, what would you choose?

For me Eau Sauvage would be the obvious one, but I’m definitely curious about what the original Kouros was like.

>>15996018
I like them both but are they too popular? Don't know if I should get bottles of them if everyone wears them.

>>15996385
>>15996396
>smelly water
fuck off retard

>>15996565
I can think of a couple. Yatagan, Polo green, Eau Sauvage, like you mentioned, any of the vintage Guerlains or vintage Carons, Dior Homme Intense

If I had to pick one it would be Mitsouko, though.

>>15996565
antaeus of course

>>15996550
Amazing comeback, take meds schizo

>>15996581
Good choices. Vintage Guerlain is the dream really. Even the Osmotheque won’t be exactly as they were I assume.

>>15996586
I still need to try it. Have you ever tried any decants or samples of older batches to compare? I’m a fan of Kouros, do you think that would mean I’d enjoy Antaeus?

>>15996565
Original Eau Sauvage by Roudnitska

Got some new scents frags. Gentleman EdP and Wow! by Joop! are next on my list

>>15996660
if you enjoy older style scents, you might like it
vintages are gone to non existent
they both have a similar vibe, but different smells

Everytime someone brings up Molecule 01 somebody says cringe or
>Escentric
Is there a non-cringe similar fragrance to it then? because I really dig the whole Iso E woody thing.

>>15996660
>I’m a fan of Kouros, do you think that would mean I’d enjoy Antaeus?
Not necessarily. While they're both classic 80's powerscents, Kouros is really just a classic aromatic fougere with big honey, incense and civet notes, while Antaeus is a much more complex leather chypre. The two are often mentioned side-by-side, but in my opinion, they are not at all in the same league.

Personally, I love Antaeus, though. It's bitter and green but never sharp, so smooth. In classic Chanel style, it's so well-blended that picking out individual notes is challenging. Even the most recent formulations (while no longer the powerhouse it once was) are still fantastic.

>>15996114
layering is extreme cringe

>>15996669
Yeah. I think the closest well get to anything like Roudnitska’s original formulation is Le Parfum de Therese, and even then I assume that’s been neutered in some way since he created it.

>>15996675
>>15996683
Thanks. I’m looking forward to shops reopening here so I can try it. Assuming it’s on shelves...

>>15996565
hugo boss energise lol

>>15995984
Got a sample of H24. I think it’s very nice. It is light and herbal and fresh. It isn’t going to fill a room unless you spray heavy but that can be a good thing. I’m trying to think of what it’s similar to from what else I’ve worn. I think maybe if Acqua Di Gio had a baby with Prada L’homme it would be similar to this. This is definitely mass appealing

>>15996698
>Assuming it’s on shelves...
Not always a safe assumption. It's not discontinued, but it's also not a big seller so it doesn't get a lot of floor space.
Most places just have Bleu and flankers, Allure Homme and flankers, and Platinum Egoiste (but not the original) for men's Chanel. Maybe there will be a dusty Pour Monsieur on a high shelf.

>>15996701
Is it the end of the blue era and the beginning of the green era?

>>15996705
Yeah, and my local place is very limited at the best of times. I had to ask for Dior Homme Intense because even though they had a tester bottle, it wasn’t on display. Weird.

I want to go to London when it’s safe and have a sniffing tour.

SOTD: Bentley for Men Intense. I love this shit. Gave a bottle to my uncle and he wears it 3-4x a week too.

>>15996712
It’s a nudge to that direction. If I had to choose between BdC and H24 it would be a toss up. H24 is very fresh, shower fresh even, they’re definitely trying to sell a lot of this stuff vs pushing the envelope

>>15996679
>because I really dig the whole Iso E woody thing.
Ormonde Jayne

>>15996701
You got me hyped for it. Notes also are looking very, very promising. It might be the second designer to join my roto after Eau Sauvage. How showergely it is though?

>>15996766
The dry down starts out as straight up shower gel then it stops acting like a retard after about 30 minutes, it smells very nice now. I’m liking it more and more as I’m wearing it. I sprayed it about 5 minutes before my first post, fyi

>>15996766
> showergely
Not at all.

>>15996724
> they’re definitely trying to sell a lot of this stuff
Not gonna happen. Too light, too transparent, very low siliage and questionable longevity for a blockbuster.

>>15996701
I like it. I’ve spent more than 10ml in four days though.

>>15996776
>Too light, too transparent, very low siliage and questionable longevity for a blockbuster.

Super-strong club frags are still the thing in terms of sales?

>>15996776
>Not gonna happen. Too light, too transparent, very low siliage and questionable longevity for a blockbuster.
Not saying that you're wrong but sillage preferences also fluctuate with time. You had large, obnoxiously loud powerhouses in 70s and 80s and then in 90s and 00s the likings took a turn and more personal, lighter, water-like scents such as Issey or CK Eternity became next blockbusters. I think it might still be too early for turning to soft scents again but this Hermes might be the first sign of it.

>>15996565
Fierce

>>15996771
I’m getting the herbals/florals/woods now. It’s pretty dynamic in how it develops. It’s really a wonderful cologne. This is great if you want to go light and understated like when at work. It’s kind of giving me a Versace Man Eau Fraiche vibe, it’s elevating my mood. I’ll see how long it lasts.

>>15996778
Not him and it's not quite the answer to your question but I looked up Google trends chart for Sauvage, BdC, Aventus. It seems that their popularity is not fading (all the spikes are around Christmas each year). However, from my experience it seems that the target audience has changed. I don't really smell it on ppl at my uni a lot but rather on streets

>>15996453

>>15996799
It’s fading out after an hour. Disappointing really. I’ll wait for the EdP release or intense flanker.

>>15996833
Kek, saved

Highly recommend the latest Wafts video about floral fragrances. Loads in there I want to try. It’s a shame some of them are hard to get samples of in the U.K.

Confess your /frag/ sins, sons.

>>15996778
>>15996785
It is so quiet that I honestly cannot imagine how SAs suppose to sell it inside an usual mall/sephora. What you get in the opening is a green note backed with faint narcissus. No citruses, no oomph. Don’t get me wrong, I like the stuff, that opening is beautiful, I spray myself several times a day for it.

>>15996924
I think that schizo's been going completely off the rails but some shitposting is good for these threads as it provides entertainment.

>get a decant of Aventus to see the hype
>it literally just smells like cleaning product
I thought this shit was supposed to smell like Smokey pineapple or some shit. I know batch variations are all over the place for this shit, but it never really got anywhere near what I’d consider smokey.

>>15996936

When I was new to fragrances I once wore six sprays of it to a BBQ in July. I was so new I didn’t know about things like projection and how neat affects it.

SOTD: jazz club - MM
Gave it another shot today after I saw it being mentioned in the previous thread yesterday. It is actually quite nice and cozy, feels very tame. Definitely lacks some edge/grid imo

>>15996924
I stopped using fragrantica after they redesigned their UI and moved to parfumo. Moved all of my collection and started rating new frags there. After 2 months I realized that I anyways go to fragrantica to look shit up and read reviews as their database is bigger and I'm so used to their UI. Having 100s of ratings an personal notes about tested frags on two different platform sucks.

What’s with all the Joker memes from Spergy? He keeps posting them as if they’re supposed to mean something to us. I literally have no idea who any of the people he’s posting re or what he’s trying to imply. Is he saying we’re getting what we deserve? Is he saying we’re crazy? He keeps calling us trannies, what does the Joker have to do with trannies? I don’t get it. Literally what does he mean by this?

>>15997104
It’s because he’s derailing this watch thread

>>15997104
Don't bother. He is probably a schizophrenic in the strict medical sense. He has voices of civetposter, anon1 "the nicheposter", anon2 "the OP", anon3 and his three other tranny personalities haunting in his head. Most of his posts don't make much sense.

I want to buy one more Frédéric Malle and I’m still torn between the following:

Musc Ravageur - It’s so smooth, has good longevity and a nice development

Le Parfum de Therese - I’ve talked about this a lot here. It smells so good and it would almost feel like a privilege to own it.

En Passant - Perhaps a little too light and airy to suit me, but based purely on scent alone it’s divine. It’s delicate, crisp, clean, and does so much with so little.

There are others I like, but none that I truly love except these. Maybe Geranium Pour Monsieur is close, but not quite.

>>15997126
thanks for giving me free rent

>>15997104
Also, he keeps going on about people making fun of someone’s dead mom or some shit. I’ve been here for years and I have no recollection of anything like that ever happening. Every time I’ve seen someone post here about a family member being sick or dying, people have been very supportive. I honestly don’t remember anyone being nasty about it like that.

>>15997180
Voting for Le Parfum de Therese

>>15997180
Musc Ravageur is a 10/10. Don't consider anything else.

>>15997199
Can confirm. My stepdad died of cancer a while back and everyone here was really nice about it.

>>15997199
If you haven't noticed by the way the last thread ended with him samefagging for straight 20 or so posts, if everyone simply ignores him then he resorts to planting baits and trolls that he responds to himself pretending as if people were actually interested in his schizoid posts. It was probably one of his made up dramas. He literally lives off (you)'s and attention. You might be right though, I wouldn't also be surprised if it all happened only in his sperg mind neither.

I recommended Musc Ravageur to my fuckbuddy yesterday as we randomly ended chatting about frags. She's the kind of girl that MR can be deadly on. I will always remember the night we met for the first time. We went to her apartment after a gala I got quite drunk at. There was a table in her living room with a bowl full of cherries. She was sitting across this table in a white loose shirt, and we were talking and drinking wine. At some point she said to look at her. Picked one of the cherries, put it slowly in her mouth together with a stem and started eating it. I was a bit confused about what she meant, but then she swallowed it and slowly showed her tongue with the stem knotted sitting on it. And I knew then that she will be a good fuck. Would be cool to see her again after corona. This time, with her smelling of MR. Funnily enough I remember my scent of the night as I sprayed Profumum Roma Acqua e Zucchero too much. There was this massive vanilla-berry cloud surrounding me that was so obnoxious that my Uber driver had to open his window swearing something in Ukrainian lol. I cringe a bit thinking about it now.

>>15997225

Yep. Found the schiz. Why are are you always responding to him? You are him.

>>15997326

>>15997326
Is your fuckbuddy Audrey from Twin Peaks? I’m not familiar with that Profumum Roma, but I can imagine the Ukrainian swearing at least. I’m learning Polish and in the early stages of it but I know how Polish swearing sounds from work. It sounds so funny when Polish people swear for some reason. There always seems to be real venom behind it, even over something trivial.

>>15997326
Ahaha holy shit the blogposting here is real. All it needs is for you to tell us what the scent of the day for your fap hand is.

>>15996924
I really like versace eros and am not ashamed of it

>>15997332
>>15997341
Seriously, bud, what the fuck is up with the Joker pics? They mean nothing whatsoever to us. What are you trying to say?

>>15997341
She seemed quite real when she was sending me pics of herself earlier today
>>15997357
Actually I watched Twin Peaks only a few months ago for the first time but thought of the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if she had Audrey as a role model at some point in his life given her vibe but we never talked about this

Just spoonfeed me the objective best choices for attracting females

>>15997452
Nice. I wish I had hot women sending me nudes. Instead it’s just my friends sending me pictures of their dinner.

>>15997464

You’re supposed to compliment them to keep the joke going. “Nice knob, mate”, “love how smooth you’ve got your balls” etc. etc.

It’s rude not to.

My wife fell in love with this and bought it for me, and I found that I really enjoyed it too despite never really wearing scents in the past.
It seems that it's gone now though, and I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for something similar.

>>15997502
this

>>15997495
I do all of those things now spoonfeed cologne

What do you fellas think are the biggest fragrance "sins" one can fall victim to out of ignorance? Stuff like wearing winter frags in summer but less obvious.

>>15997528
Spraying on one wrist and rubbing wrists together. Leaving them in direct sunlight. Applying them directly to the neck immediately after spraying because for some reason in the U.K. they’re called “aftershaves”.

>>15996254
It was in American psycho?

>>15997326
This is nice, have you considered gifting her a bottle / decant to wear when she comes over? Most women really appreciate the gesture and are more than happy to oblige if you don't have shit taste.

>>15997458
The objective best choice is the fragrance that will make you most comfortable in your own skin. Don't believe in any snake oil sellers on youtube making videos about compliment monsters. They probably never got an unsolicited one anyways. Fragrance won't do any heavy lifting if you got shit personality and no integrity.
>>15997479
That's for my eyes only
>>15997502
Kek
>>15997528
That's gonna cause some controversy but wearing fragrance for others not yourself is one

>>15997541
I don’t think so, maybe mentioned in the book perhaps? In the film he has YSL Pour Homme and some L’Occitane.

>>15997544
I have but she has a well paid job and got so hyped about MR when I sent her this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFoLz4apHeM that I suspect that she already bought it online

The only colognes a man will ever need. Pic related.

Test out the different fragrances from the Dior Homme Line and pick out the one you like the most. Dior Homme Original is one of the most versatile fragrances ever and Dior Homme Perfume is the best from the line.

recommmend me frag to feel like a Driver, he is just like me.

>>15997606
I am bury that you would think a first-time poster is a sperg in your special needs smelly water thread.

>>15997615
Sauvage or some other random blockbuster probably. Just toss a coin

>>15997584
Huh cool! Now I want to try it haha. Any idea what the other frags are?

>>15997615
Encre noir sport

>>15996547
I bought bottles of both, you can try salome as well if you want something even more easily oversprayable as bengale rouge, but it's not as pleasant in anyway >:)

scent in bed tonight here is vetiver extraordinaire. comfy, altho vetiver is not my thing but this is one of the better ones

>>15997616
>knows it's a first-time poster
>somehow he's already aware of the sperg
I know that you're not exactly an intellectual powerhouse but c'mon mang
>>15997630
Check basenotes. There was a thread where they identified all of them.
>>15997637
Lol, Encre Noire is weirdly accurate for the most of young fanbase of Drive/Fight Club/American Psycho

>>15997650
I have the full set of samples and they’re all great, but probably not for me. I need to slow down my purchases too so the fact I don’t absolute adore them is reason enough to not buy them.

>>15996547
>>15997650
Based Papillon anons. I will just chime in that I was also mind blown by everything I tried from her. Salome grew on my a lot.

>>15997662
I live by the same rules, that I need to sample and be in love with it before I buy. I caught that when trying the 2 bottles I mentioned, in particular bengale rouge which is just the comfiest thing I've smelled..

really eager to try her new one, I read a great review of it that says that it has a taur-like airy nature-smell going on, which I think sounds so interesting as I like e.g.l'air du desert marocain and what taur does in terms of getting his stuff smell like nature.
The review in question that's worth a read for papillon-broskis: http://takeonethingoff.com/blog/2021/01/25/spell-125-by-papillon-artisan-perfumes-love-in-the-time-of-covid/

>go to perfume store at the mall
>show muzzie owner eBay prices for a few things
>tell him I'll buy a few perfumes (each over a hundred bucks even with the discount I was looking for) if he can beat the eBay prices
>he won't do it
I don't get it, it's not like he wouldn't have still been making money. He just lost hundreds of dollars in sales. The number one rule to reselling is to turn the money, not hold on for what you think something is worth. Sell them to me and order replacements.

>>15997767
>imagine thinking that this is something to brag about

>>15997637
Too edgy and cheap. He was wearing a Patek watch, for comparison.

>>15997829
The patek was an heirloom tho. Tbh I dont really see the driver wearing anything. Maybe eau sauvage or something to larp as steve mcqueen or something

>>15997841
>Maybe eau sauvage or something to larp as steve mcqueen or something
He was too retarded to think of something like that himelf lol

>>15997606
Yall are fucking delusional.

>>15997813
What was I bragging about? I just think it's interesting that he thinks his bottle of Bleecker Street is worth more than $100 more than all of the bottles available to me at one click on eBay.

>>15997584
nice, I have Lapidus Black Extreme and it would suit him very well

>>15997866
Have fun buying fakes on eBay.

>>15997615
Dude had a carburetor on his dining room table. I don't think this guy was into fragrances. He probably had a bottle of Brut aftershave and that's about it.

>>15997841
Steve McQueen wore a vintage Hanhart and Rolex sub 5512 in real life, and I've never heard anyone discuss what fragrance he wore.
I don't there's anything about the driver that suggests he copied McQueen

>>15997892
I've bought a lot of perfumes on eBay and have never received a fake because I buy from North American sellers with 100% positive feedback. You can get a 100% real bottle of Bleecker Street for about $150.

Lol at the last part here about hormones

>>15997942
I wouldn’t bother. The film is far better.

To wade into the debate about his fragrance I see him as a Fahrenheit kind of guy, but I think I’m projecting that upon him rather than it being what he’d actually go out and buy. I don’t think he’d waste his time. I imagine he smells like shit.

>>15997954
>Ronald Reagan ~ Guerlain Eau De Cologne Imperiale
Dangerously based

>Sigmund Freud ~ Creed Selection Verte
This is one of the most ridiculous Creed's posthumous claims for people who can't deny as they're long dead.

>>15997951
>I heard McQueen was one of the eau sauvage guys
That's plausible, I've heard a lot about his cars, bikes and what watches he wore but never what cologne he used
>>15997963
I kinda thought the driver was the type that probably didn't put much thought into what fragrance he used because it's the type of thing that you'd do to attract people to you and that's not his personality

>>15998078
>How does it compare to ADP colonia ?
I used to own both. Both are EdC concentrations and that's where similarities end. Obviously both respect the borders of the genre and hence are citrus-forward and refreshing but Imperiale is much more "posh" and elegant. It also lasts way shorter than AdP.

I just tried a sample of Fathom V, this is the saddest scent I've smelled in a fragrance. It smells like a funeral home (because of the flower notes) and a dirty pond (because of the green and acuatic notes) put together and it proyects like a beast.
10/10 in terms of quality and originality but this is unwearable for me because it literally puts me in a sad mood.

i use tom ford grey vetiver, it's fine
need to check out stuff by annick goutal and helmut lang if they're good enough for my boys keanu and leo

>>15998289
i also have sauvage,
it's not something i can wear in the office, smells like dusty lust and is too obvious in it's presence
i don't think it's very pleasant i got tired of it after a few wears even when applying it in a single half spritz
only pull out for date night occasionally but honestly aqua di gio would be the better choice although more basic

This smells terrible

I circled the ones that sound appealing to me. I'm fine with uni sex but prefer something not.girly. No strong musk or bold smells

>>15998502
It smells like vicks vapor rub

>>15998502
The funny thing is, it smells like Old Spice aftershave, which smells great for the three dollars that it costs.

They won’t. Creed is dead. Bought out by some investment firm. They’re not interested in innovation. We’ll see more rehashes of Aventoos and other insipid mass-appealing designer-lite bullshit.

>>15996924
Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce. I desperately need to change my fragrance. Came here looking for suggestions but now I am more confused.

>>15999299
this isn't inherently a bad fragrance, although I'd say upgrade to A&F Authentic Night.

Five days of owning. The best contender for a intense or perfume version ever.

>>15999333
Do you say this because you think a flanker or twist would be nice or because you wished it had a higher concentration?

>>15996924
I recommend/slander stuff I've never smelled here on this general

>>15999340
The scent itself is beautiful and addictive but performance is underwhelming. No sillage, shitty longevity, too quiet, too gentle, too transparent and only for the warm weather.

i was looking at a bottle of fou d´absinthe and found tons and tons of russian sellers on ebay selling it for around 60 euro dollars, saying the bottles are new and sealed. all of them basically write the same stuff and say delivery might take up to 60 days. whats the fuck is up with that? it heavily smells like scam but the product pictures are different and the accounts have good ratings.

>>15999360
Russia is notorious for selling fake fragrance(or anything designer really). Never buy anything that ships from Russian Federation. It's also super easy to remove negative ratings on ebay. As long as they refund you or compensate you in some way they can write it off as resolved and have the negative feed back removed. Trust me you didn't seemingly run into the best deal ever on one of the largest marketplaces.
That being said ebay has really good buyer protection, hell you can buy something authentic and say it was fake and probably win the case, which is also a reason sellers dislike selling on ebay. The market is just huge so they can't ignore it.

>>15999360
> the accounts have good ratings

>>15998201
Hah, I agree with all of your points but it’s more of a melancholic not sad fragrance for me. Hauntingly beautiful, unusual stuff.

>>15998502
Maybe to you.

>>15999299
Get Montblanc Legend EDP.

Anyone give me the skinny on Royal Oud? I got a decant of it and really liked it; only problem is it's a decant from a 2016 bottle.
I've read Creed's Aventus batches can really vary and I'm afraid the same might apply to Royal Oud. RO doesn't seem to be nearly as well documented as Aventus especially when it comes to batch variation to find out which might be a batch I'd like.
How are Creed's more modern 2019-2020(21?) batches, a safe blindish buy for Royal Oud? I don't think I'd be willing to pony of the extra people ask for on more vintage bottles.

>>15999541
For guys with average taste it will be great, dry cedarwood, bergamot opening, sweet drydown. The sweet drydown ruined it for me.

Not wanting to get doxed is one thing but their disbelief and coping makes it all much funnier and satisfying this way

I've tested Hermes H24 in my local Sephora. It's a prime example why you should never believe notes as they are mostly picked by marketing departments. At least I haven't seen anyone addressing the elephant in the room here - namely the unlisted big, sweet grapefruit note that dominates the opening and stays there for at least the first 15 minutes. I can clearly tell why it's not listed there - almost candy-sweet aspects of grapefruit didn't fit the concept of a "futuristic", minimalist fragrance that Hermes came up with for H24. It's the same sweet grapefruit facet that made me give away my decant of Guerlain Pamplelune and that is present for example in ELDO Remarkable People. It's quite nice though and becomes subdued quickly (but I find it still lingering around now at 30minutes mark). After the opening it becomes much more aromatic. They list clary sage as the note that should be responsible for that but to my nose there are some other herbal-aromatic undertones - clary sage is one of my favorite notes and I smelled it through and through in fragrances ranging from Eternity 25 Anniversary to Ormonde Jayne Black Gold. This is the part I'm perfectly fine with. It's accompanied by a bit of florals (quite a bold choice for Hermes to pick narcissus - respect for that) and some very dry woody note. The entire thing has indeed a futuristic, mineral-metallic vibe that is accomplished using some synthetic that I cannot pin down (it's not ambroxan) and that sadly irritates my nose and makes sinuses itchy. The entire thing gives off a high-quality shaving cream vibe, a high-tech fougere if you will. Quite a solid, unusual release from Hermes. If it becomes mainstream then I think things might get interesting again after the too long reign of blue-ambroxan fragrances.

nothing remotely interesting that'd be worth putting myself in the firing line but ok, ill do it. feel free to judge my basicness

work in progress. i will probably remove dior homme. i heard mixed things about the reformulation and i was about to just blind buy a 100 mill. i like the 2011 formulation and always own a bottle. but might as well get a sample beforehand just to sniff.

will also look into finding samples of:
byredo pulp
diptyque tam dao edt
guerlain mouchoir de monsieur
chanel platinum egoiste
amouage reflection man
hermes un jardin en mediterranee
kurkdjian baccarat rouge 540
caron le 3e homme
guerlain cuir intense
guerlain tonka imperiale
dior ambre nuit
kurkdjian oud satin mood
l'occitane eau des baux
frederic malle lipstick rose


also i do keep track of every single of my expenses compared to my income in an excel sheet, even sandwiches from a bakery or a single bottle of beer.
i save up for a while and every now and then spend money on something i really do want. and i dont really want another table, but the girls would probably be more impressed with a fully furnished house

thanks for inviting me to blogpost, please subscribe so i can continue doing what i love

>>15999629
>sweet grapefruit note
Ok, nothing for me. Fell also for the Terre de Hermes meme, actually only sweet orange juice for me. People saying it's earthy and shit. Dunno if it's trolling.

>>15999638
Good stuff but I'd test this LAP first if you're about to blind buy it - I didn't like it. Very based choice of samples though anon
>>15999639
I mean try it as maybe it's just my skin+nose but I really think this note is unmistakable for anything else. I feel like people are just too focused on official notes and neglect it. Maybe some other anons can chime in if they get it too.

SOTD: Corsair by Alt Fragrances. Yes, I know it's a clone of Viking but I don't care.

>>15999629
You can detect a molecule you have never smelled before? And, in the same time, you smell citruses in H24? I’d say you fucked up beyond repair but we all friends here. The sweet note is narcissus, come on. Agree on the shaving vibe though. How’s performance for you?

>>15999639
> earthy and shit

>You can detect a molecule you have never smelled before?
I can detect some synthetic aromachemical irritating my nose that I'm not familiar with profile of. That's it.
> you smell citruses in H24?
In the opening? Almost only grapefruit.
>The sweet note is narcissus, come on.
Do you actually know how narcissus smells like? Try Masque Milano Romanza
or PdE Tabac Tabou for prominent narcissus note.
>How’s performance for you?
Not bad. I sprayed my wrist 3 times. It was projecting a lot for the first 30m-1h, now about 2h down the road it is more tamed but definitely still noticeable. I feel like this fragrance is rather supposed to stay close and enhance your natural smell and not male all people around sure that you sprayed something. That's more patrician option if you ask me.

Heads up for you faggots: Micallef is discontinuing bunch of their frags and you can get them for -60% from their website. Free shipping over 50EUR, too. Sweet deal if you ask me.

Mugler Cologne just smells like a nice soap bar. Aqua Allegorias are all fresh fruity-like but very feminine, trust me on this I love unisex fragrances and they all seem too girly for me.
Hermes with their Un Jardin goes to the same direction but less sweet, more sophisticated, they fit your bill.
Get some samples from the Un Jardin line or try them in a store I would say.

Can I get a rec for the best performing designer summer frag? Don’t say eros.

Ordered. I loved their Gaiac sample. One of the best warm spicy-woody scents I've tried that comes close to MDCI Fetes Persanes, so it was a no-brainer. Picked Emir because it looked most interesting out of other available frags there and wanted to get free shipping. It's really nice that you can get 30ml bottles on the sale, too.

Artisan Pure or Light Blue Intense

Eros is the last fragrance that I'd think of wearing in summer.

I know right? Too cloying.

What's your budget?

Philosykos EdP > EdT?
I got a sample of EdP at home, biggest downside to me was the longevity so I probably should not go for EdT i guess?

any recommendations on fragrances that smell like jasmine (tea)?

EdT smells very feminine of some coconut sun lotion. You did good.

If you're not afraid of some other florals Don't Cry For Me ALTAIA is your best bet.
For citric white tea try: Between Two Trees Floraïku (it has listed matcha as a note but it's more of a white tea scent imo). Another option for white tea that is close to jasmine tea, this time accompanied by ginger, is I Am Coming Home from Floraiku.
Damn, I just realized that over last two years I smelled 30-40 tea-centric frags. Perhaps I should do some infographic.

perhaps you should. i havent smelled a tea centric fragrance yet but i love drinking green tea and the smell of fresh jasmine tea is something to behold.
unfortunately i dont exactly like citrusy scents, be it lemon, orange, vetiver, not for me unless the other ingredients make it worth it

The performance of Explorer is absolute rubbish or is it just me? Even did the 16 spray meme the other day and it still suck.
