Man I had a random sample of this from a Luckyscent order but I was influenced by a couple people here who said it's disgusting trash for pajeets so I never smelled it and I threw it in with a big sample lot I sold on eBay. I've since heard some very good things about it both on here and on YouTube, Basenotes, etc. so I think I'm going to order another sample.

>>16004340
It's rude to wear fragrance in Japan
Probably smells like fresh laundry cigarettes and sake

What is he wearing?

>>16004367

>>16004357
Very snice. Be sure to report once you smell them

>>16004367
Some monster compliment getter like Sauvage as he heard that’s what ladies are after

>>16004367
aventus

My gf gave me her virtually full 50 ml bottles of Jo Malone English Oak & Redcurrant and English Oak & Hazelnut because she thinks they're too masculine for her. Did I win or nah? I think the redcurrant one smells pretty nice at least

>>16004424
Sell them and buy her a better perfume.

lol we're actually going perfume shopping this weekend. Planning to get CdG Incense Kyoto for myself. Not sure what she has in mind tho

>>16004442
This is no place for a Hobbit!

>>16004446
Kyoto is good but I prefer 2 Man. Floriental would probably smell good on a girl, she should try that one.

Can anyone speak on any of Ormonde Jayne's Iso E themed fragrances? Any outstanding frags I should sample first? I like Molecule 01 so I'm trying to see if I would like other frags with more notes better.

>>16004454
I think all of Ormonde Jayne's perfumes have ISO-E Super. They all share a similar base/dna. My favorites are Ormonde Man, Nawab of Oudh Intensivo, and Tolu.

>>16004442
i knew i recognized this guy

>>16004452
Cool, I'll check out 2 Man. We're going to Scent Bar so they'll have most of the currently available CdG frags. I'm the incense-obsessed guy who posts Fred Soll's and Baieido sticks here occasionally, so the Incense series is extremely on-brand/highest priority for me at the moment

>>16004459
Thank you, I'll check them out

If you rub it does a gay genie come out?

>>16004806
>>16004900
I think this is right but it also seems like a lot of younger guys prefer the sweeter scents. Maybe it's all about getting laid, maybe it's a zoomer thing.
To me Eros is almost sickeningly sweet, the type of scent that a 14 year old girl would probably like.

>>16004318
what are you showing to the class anon?

>>16004940
that sheldrake fuck sure does like putting sweet notes in everything he makes

>>16004945

>>16004049
Is Layton Exclusif any more redeemable on a man?

I only wear sauvage dior and this oud stuff that smells like pears. Today I ordered Creed Green irish Twig and Fred Malle Musc Ravager. Was it worth spending the money or will I feel it was a waste and that this is all a pretentious meme like /watches/

>>16004281
are there any chance anons left?

>>16005052
You could have got Cool Water which is $30 for 200ml and is better than GIT in every way imo.

>>16004940
That's gotta be the coolest bottle I've seen. Any of his stuff have the same level of quality?

>>16004940
>replaced kino bottle and kino bell jar with this shit

>>16004283
Anything like this with a women focus? Looking to buy a gift. Will also take recommendations if no chart. No old people smells like lavender. No fruity/sickly sweet zoomer smells. Oriental/Floriental ideally.

>>16005130

>>16004806
To me Eros smells like what a teen thinks he smells like when he puts on Axe because of the marketing.
SOTD; Hummingbird sample by Zoologist, I really like this. It feels like a creamy and "fluffy" version of Paco Rabanne Pour Homme and the performance is awesome for these kinds of ingredients.

Americans need to stay away from fragrancebuy. I almost missed my shot at Noir Ambre because you yanks bought most of the stock.

>>16005046
Sure if you want to smell like an old man that bathed in dirt.
Exclusif literally smells like layton + dirt to me, I don't get all the "more refined" smell that people keep on hyping. The normal layton is more beautiful

Are Dior Sauvage or Eros the ultimate normie everyday scent?

Asianfag here, asking murican and yurop fags, does this smell like your typical old man in the western hemisphere?
This shit has such a beautiful drydown but there's something in the opening that I couldn't put my finger on until my friend pointed out that it smells like the typical grandpa here in asia

I'm not sure if there even is a way to ever know this but how much of vintagefagging do you guys suppose is because of the natural development of perfume in the bottle after a long time rather than an actual perceptible difference in smell between formulas?

>>16005046
I’m the anon from the other thread. Dont get me wrong. If it makes you happy go wear sweet vanilla frags. I just think they smell girly and that’s not what men should do but men do many strange things these days

>>16005097
GIT smells so mich better than CW that im happy to pay the price difference

>>16004940
Wow

>>16005542
No, it smells sickeningly sweet

>>16005586
Not the guy you're replying to, but to my nose they are way too similar to justify the price difference. And the ways that they differ in smell (if at all significantly) doesn't make one smell better or worse than the other.
The huge difference, believe it or not, is that CW has ungodly performance on me. Lasts maybe almost twice as long as GIT on my arm.

>>16005576
maceration is real

>>16005576
> is there a way to measure the subjectivity of random people on the internet

>>16005582
I tried my sample of it yesterday and yes it's objectively nice smelling, but I agree it shouldn't be the usual for a man, and was wondering if Exclusif toned it down or not.

bros are the margiela fragrances a meme?

>>16005754

>>16005542
The typical Asian grandpa smells like Grand Soir? I think your friend is donkey-brained.

Someone posted this a thread ago and I kind of want to buy it on name alone. What are some other crazy names or out of the box shit that is under 100?
I like my scents but kind of want to crank it to 10 fragrances. Or maybe I shouldn't, just kind of torn. Should I stay at 8 or go to 10? One of them would def be cyber garden, I want another crazy sounding meme on top of that if I go to 10.

These are my 8:

any scent similar to by the fireplace but smokier

I bet £15 on a double horse race that's due in a couple weeks
If I get lucky I earn £900 profit.
What should I spend that on? Was planning on dumping £500 in premium bonds leaving me a cool 400 to play with.
Since furlough's extended and my work will carry on until May at the earliest, I'm good for money otherwise, I just wanna treat myself nicely if I win my bet

>>16005770
arso profumum roma off the top of my head. sniff city on fire and interlude man as well, they are very smoky

>>16005709
I mean technically you could uncover the original and current formulas and try to recreate them for side-by-side comparisons but who knows how and when that might happen

>>16005766
As in the opening parts. The blast of top notes has this vibe of a typical grandpa who lives in an old rustic house. That, and pdm Herod also has this vibe of grandpas who use arabian oil from some cheap street shop.
That's why I want to know if the typical old men in western hemisphere invoke this kind of smell

>I have never been fond of all-natural perfumery, for two reasons: 1- Constraints in art are fruitful only if they channel creativity to give results pleasing to the senses, e.g. rhyme, modal harmony etc. The all-natural constraint is not productive: no all-natural perfume has ever been as good as the best natural-aromachemical ones*. 2- My definition of Nature includes Organic Chemistry and all who sail in her. This said, I find Anna Zworykina‘ fragrances very impressive indeed, and largely immune from the mushiness of most natural perfumery. Wisely, she seems to stick to classical forms and puts her skill into making them work optimally. Verdigris, for example, is a resplendent, stonking chypre. You can clearly smell the superb bergamot, cistus and oakmoss singing in harmony. Young Cossack (in Russia Cossacks have a more positive reputation than abroad) is a lovely animalic hay-tonka accord that would make a wonderful masculine, with or without sabre and horse. Her Cuir de Russie is the most eccentric of that name I remember smelling, very floral and less smoky than the usual fare, with a strange and beautiful sweet-green drydown. In the end, empirical evidence prevails: these are perfumes that even a fan of synthetics like me would love to wear.

Thoughts on this?

>>16005928
Why are you so anti-social? Exploring stuff with other people with whom you can have some chat is what makes this hobby enjoyable. These are also objectively interesting and good quality scents.

>>16005582
Dude, I used to think like you years ago, when i was in high school i was actively looking for "shaving cream and lemon" scents, that i remebered from when i was a kid, that adults used to wear. Believeme, a lot of girls (and people in general) associate vetiver with dirt, incense with church, citrus with cleanin products, barbershop scents with granpas. I am not against vanilla now, though i used to be. I admit that my taste was influence by what girls like, no shame in that. A vanilla heavy scent is not the most masculine scent but for a young guy today it's safer than a classic barbershop. Also, la vie e belle, libre are not the most feminine scent for the ladies, so it's not fair to compare them with the sweetest mens scents. Check out the coconut and candy bombs for women, thats the equivalent of eros, 1 million. Though ultra male can pass as a female fragrance as it is, i agree. Not so much with eros, the first few hours are quite minty, a girl should not smell like that.

>>16005760
I quite liked fireplace, do you have any similar recs?

>>16005959

>>16005966
Not sweeter, sorry i worded that poorly, I just dont want anything too smokey. Dont wanna go full 1 million or some shit.

interesting fresh masculine scent for less than $50? it will likely be kept for in the car or my work locker for dumb reach

Just got massively filtered - I had to wash of MAAI, as it made me really nauseous. The performance is absolutely nuclear, even the slight spritz on the back of my wrist is still projecting slightly even I have tried scrubbing it of with soap.
I made the mistake of smelling it up really close. Initial minutes smelled like a literal cat (or civet) peed on some very expensive fur coat after the old lady who has worn it got soaked in the rain on her way home from some fancy gala event. And now I was basically stuck in home office, witnessing live as this coat airs out and dries.
(I love TRex btw)

>>16005974
Bvlgari aqua or the flankers

Do you guys have any frags you started with and still use until now? I can't seem to stop reaching for YSL L'Homme when I can't be bother to think what to wear. Ultime is okay but I couldn't care less about the other flankers.

>>16005987
still use le male and sauvage edp just for me when i'm home alone

>>16005987
Yep, the original aqua di gio, brings up summer memories. Still enjoy the scent, wear it sometimes even at home during the winter, for myself.

>>16005987
Running with Dior Homme for around 13 years now, still using it regularly for most occasions.

need timely thoughts on this one. 200ml for 35 bucks. yes or no, if yes why?

>>16005955
>la vie e belle, libre are not the most feminine scent for the ladies
This been literally women's Sauvage for Stacies for last decade.

>>16005974
You should be able to get Penhaligon's Sartorial from eBay for that price

>>16005987
The classic L'Homme is based. For me it's Eau Sauvage Parfum. Many bottles come and go but this one is constant in my rotation.

>>16006008
I meant exactly what i wrote, that those are not the most feminine scents. La vie e belle is not that sweet/feminine when compared to other ladies fragrances.

>>16006003
yes. its clean and straightforward. would instantly respect a coworker if i smell this on him. guerlain lhomme leau boisee is also worth consdering if you live in a warmer climate. its a more youthful take on vetiver and is fresher

>>16006019
LVEB is so candy-sweet that it can cause diabetes.

>>16006003

What’s the best Parfums de Marly fragrance I can buy? I wanna treat myself for my birthday.

>>16006034
>buying brands instead of fragrances
I'm disappointed but not surprised

>>16005939
A fresher take on Aventus. More fruity, less smoky.

>>16006038
I want a good expensive quality fragrance.

>>16006043
Even fruitier than current Aventus batches? Jesus, this probably would mean that it smells like canned pineapples juice.

>>16006047
You picked a wrong brand for any of these but expensive then. Watch less YouTube reviewers.

hell yeah all hail The One EdP

>>16006049
It doesn’t. It’s in the same DNA as Aventus but less smoky. It’s fruity and earthy. Have you never smelled it before? Go to a department store and try it out.

>>16006051
Why can’t you just give me some recommendations instead of being a prick? My birthday is coming up and I want to treat myself.

>>16006060
Because you fell a victim of PdM's influencer-ridden marketing.

>>16006069
I’ve never even smelled their stuff. I just heard that they were good. I’m looking for a good quality fragrance that lasts pretty long for the spring time. My budget is about $200

>>16006072
Don't get me wrong. That's your decision and you should pick whatever makes you happy but the quality for price is simply not there when it comes to PdM. Even getting Creed or Tom Ford Private Blend should be a more reasonable choice in this budget.

>>16006069
the absolute fucking state of this

>>16006072
Just get a decant of each desu or if you're fortunate enough go to a place like the Scent Bar here in SoCal where you can sample fragrances from multiple houses. If you want something nice and niche for the spring/summer consider Xerjoff Nio imo

>>16006096
What about Tom Ford Costa Azzura?

>>16006069

>>16006105
>Costa Azzura
Only really for the high heat. Since it's now on the signature line I would also wait to get it on discounters. You'll be able to get 100ml for $85 in time. I also find it to be quite watered down in comparison to the private blend version, a real shame. Own any amouage? Reflection man was my first niche scent and even after just over 50 niche fragrances now it's still in my top 5

>>16006116
>Own any amouage?
That's way out of my price range.

>>16005987
Chanel Eau Extreme was the first fragrance that blew my mind and my first full bottle. It was my quickest decision to cop and I still use it as a dumb reach

>>16006117
Just get 2 Manceras or Montale if $200 is your budget, one fresh and one spicy/sweet.
If you still want to get Pdm no matter what, you need to get their decants first since their DNA is not for everyone

>>16006117
you could pickup a number of amouage fragrances at 100ml for $150 dollars if you know where to look

I pulled the trigger on Armani Code EDP. I haven't smelled Armani Code in over 10 years but I remember loving it. So we'll see how it is.

>>16006210
Just the 10ml in the gold yoke. It was between that and Desert Suave for a FB and I prefer the latter (if you haven’t smelled it do, fantastic and strange stuff)

thoughts on BdJ and reflection man? hows the female feedback? looking to expand my work fragrances

How's Versace Dreamer?
From what I see it sounds like something that could be pulled off during the day as well, and it's cheap as fuck

>>16006432
BdJ is my daily driver, super strong vaguely offensive but mostly well received. Started my love affair with Fougeres

Reflection man is luxurious Le Male. If le Male and Prada L’Homme had a baby and that baby married a Rothschild

>>16006449
It’s not awful but it’s dated imo. I smelled it in a store, bought it, then gave it away shortly after. Go with Prada l’Homme or something

>>16005582
I don’t think wearing bubblegum and insanely floral shit is good.
But if you truly think Layton isn’t more on the masculine than feminine side or that vanilla in a fragrance is girly, you must’ve hurt your head.
Seriously, you’re out of your mind

>>16006466
Prada l'homme smells like something I'd wear if I was a lawyer, not the kind of vibe I'm looking for. I used to wear the intense version but not a big fan, way too "stuck up"
Any other recommendations?

>>16006472
Looking at my own collection I’m actually going to say Hommage a l’Homme! Quite different than the Dreamer but it’s super affordable, pretty off the wall but still clean and wearable as a daily driver. Fucking love the stuff, I hype it here whenever the opportunity arises

>>16006481
Looks interesting. and it's cheap af, I'll order it right now. Thanks anon.

>>16006494
Fuck yeah bro, report back when you get it, there’s a bit of a following for it in here I think

I tried Aventus for the first time today.
Smells like fucking cheap aftershave.

>>16006496
No it doesn't.

>>16006496
P.S.: it’s not necessarily bad, but by far more generic than anything by PdM, even Percival. Aventus smells cheaper and worse quality as well.
Is Cedrat boise sweeter than Aventus?

>>16006501
It kinda does. Of course it’s higher quality and a bit more interesting but it has that 15-bucks-gilette-drugstore vibe going on

>>16006495
Sure thing anon, I'll post about it after I try it

Is there anything that causes more butthurt here than aventus?

>>16006526
Who’s butthurt? If you like it then wear it. It really isn’t that good though

SOTD: Stronger with You by Emporio Armani

Just ordered from ecuacion natural
5 ml decants of: Chypre Siam, Mousse Illuminee, Moss Cologne, Papillon Dryad, Maai and Prissana Haxan
This qualified me for 12 additional samples, so I asked them for:
1. Neela Vermeire Niral
2. Bogue Profumo Mem
3. Prissana Chetyre
4. Prin Aran
5. Prin Homa
6. Prin Mriga
7. Prin Nocturnal Poetry

10. Rogue Perfumery Rogue 40
11. Bortnikoff Triad
12. Bortnikoff Vetiver Nocturne Absolu

Also tomorrow my sample set from Oriza L.Legrand will finally come.

How did I do? This will be my first experience with all of these brands, am really excited.

>>16006597
Snice

>>16006505
I’m not a super fan of Aventus but I definitely don’t think it smells cheap. Perhaps how ubiquitous it has become and all the clones/car air fresheners etc have made you feel this way? It’s really strange to see people call it generic. I remember when I first smelled aventus in a department store, I didn’t like it at all but I also thought it was fucking mad smelling (in maybe 2010, all I knew at the time was the ‘sport’ fragrances which were popping at the time).

SOTD: Bentley For Men Intense

Pretty cold her today so it's working nicely.

>>16006657
Snice. I wanna try some of the other Bentley colognes. I heard Azure was pretty good.

>>16006616
Holy shit, I'm jealous of this sample lot

>>16006623
>It’s really strange to see people call it generic.
Probably it depends where you live but in UK there are fragrant sticks, candles, laundry detergents and car refreshers cloning Aventus. Fuck, I think I even read about Benz (or BMW, I don't remember) offers an Aventus clone as one of the generic fragrance choices for the built-in air refresher when buying a new car.

>>16004313
I've tried my sample of this a couple times, now, and it definitely grew on me. Very solid scent. The opening three me off a bit as I only really got the spicy and woody notes with none of the fruit that is in it (though I may just not be familiar with those notes enough to recognize them). The drydown after about 45 min to an hour, though, this fragrance really shined and the vanilla creeped up nicely as well as some of the other notes, which I assume are the fruits and others. My first time with anything like it and it was a good experience with a solid fragrance. Still contemplating a full bottle

>>16006623
>Perhaps how ubiquitous it has become and all the clones/car air fresheners etc have made you feel this way?

This is what I thought as well. I imagine it must’ve been good when it came out but right now it just smells like a million other things. It doesn’t smell cheap per se it just smells like an expensive version of something that’s cheap.

>>16006468
No need to get worked up, we're just talking. Maybe the fact that I'm not a teenager but almost 28 years old has something with it however, I can definitely say that my girlfriend has more masculine vanilla fragrances than Layton (and for sure than Eros/Ultra Male). I just can't imagine smelling it on a guy and treating him seriously and I don't mean that you can't get laid with this scent. Perhaps you can and there are girls attracted to very sweet vanilla scents on guys. I know that some people here are very sensitive about their feelings, so don't get me wrong - I don't have any hard feelings. I'm not upset with your preferences or want to suggest you anything. I'm just saying that you'd smell like a boy for me.

I blind bought a 200ml and wore it for the first time today. Quite mellow, I expected it to be stronger vetiver. I don't mind, it'll be a good work fragrance.
Wifts in the opening hour reminded me of chocolate/cacao or something, not really but kind of. Maybe the earthiness or flint? I can see why people/women like the sillage, having a more alluring character than say straight up chocolate notes that apparently often isn't that appreciated.

>>16006854
I think what he meant to ask was if you treat people flippantly solely because of the fact that you happen to have a different taste in fragrance. But I also think you knew that.

>>16006616
Based choices, looking forward to your thoughts on everything Prin Lomros. Just tried Haxan, Mandarava, and Ma Nishtana myself

>>16006854
Ah, that’s quite a stretch there. I dislike Eros also (I’ve never knowingly smelled Layton to dislike it) but these threads are devalued by this kind of contrarian absolutist posting. I know we’re on 4chan, but we’re not obliged to act like it.

What would she prefer Dior Sauvage or Versace Eros?

>>16006888
Eros, but she wouldn’t like either. I don’t know who she is however.

>>16006888
>she
Dior Sauvage
>''she''
Versace Eros

What is he wearing

>>16006906
I don’t know, but what’s it from? I like watching things about these guys. People that dedicate their lives to protecting animals are my favourite people.

>>16006897

>>16006906
Kouros. Based monke protector.

>>16006910
I will tell you if you name me a frag that is apt for him

>>16006047
I'd rec you to look into some Xerjoff frags

>>16006922
>so Eros attracts fags?
It's what I imagine a gay night club to smell like.

I feel like Shinji would wear Escentric Molecules, not sure if 01 or 02

>>16006931
French Lover. Green and earthy, similar to his environment.

>>16006922
I’m very intrigued, but I stand by my opinion that she wouldn’t like either.

>>16006949
OK. it's from a docu called "Virunga"
>>16006954
what would you rec, both for Asuka and the girl that cosplays her

>>16006838
So we're 27, coincidentally both have staches, dress maturely and lift (albeit I never quite got to honest 1/2/3/4 and rather box these days). Good stuff. I still have no idea though why you want give off, at best, a metro sweet-fruity vibe. I'd get it if you got it for Christmas or something and didn't care but c'mon - in what world is Layton worth defending as undoubtedly masculine?
>>16006843
All I'm saying is that smelling of very sweet vanilla doesn't strike me as particularly masculine. The same way wearing skinny jeans or snapbacks as a grown-up man doesn't. If smelling sweet vanilla commands respect from you then sure, different strokes for different folks, but it's certainly not normal here. I don't know why this statement is so controversial.
>>16006866
That's not me

>>16006868
>Ma Nishtana myself
And isn't this the best incense in existence?

>>16006934
I feel like I have enough fragrances though. I ran out of space to even put any more.

>>16006999
Smells like apple pie with cold vanilla sauce to me, not overly sweet. I find something like Prada l'homme to be more towards feminin/unisex.

>>16006963
Thanks, I’ve actually seen that. It’s really fucking good.

For Asuka I’d say something like Portrait of a Lady. It’s a very red fragrance. I think it has enough playfulness to suit her.

For the girl, I don’t know. Maybe En Passant. Very delicate and pretty.

>>16007007
then just sample or decant if you have the space for that, I barely buy full bottles unless I love a scent desu, no point having 100ml of something I wear once in a blue moon

Right, I’m throwing Rien Intense Incense in the bin. Fucking awful, worst thing I’ve ever sampled. Vile shit, fuck off. If this was the first ELDO I tried I’d never sample anything again.

What are the main differences from a "party fragrance" and a "dating fragrance?

>>16007009
>Darling, what's that gorgeous, masculine smell?
>I'm smelling of apple pie with cold vanilla sauce, my dear...

>>16007098
Party - Sweet, loud, long-lasting. Designed to make you stand out in a hot, busy nightclub. The flaw with this is that they’re extremely popular with people that go to parties/clubs and you don’t stand out.

Date - Subtle. Smooth. Warming. Designed to entice, but not overpower. A suggestion of good hygiene and grooming. Meant to be more intimate and complement your personality, not try and substitute for a lack of one.

Just a warning to everyone...fragrances...this addiction...it can eat your soul!

Don't get memed, girls love Eros, it's literally fuckboi: the fragrance

>>16007002
I had heard really good things about it, and I can tell it’s very nice quality when I tried it. Personally though, I think I realized the “church incense” genre just isn’t for me, no matter how high quality the materials

You are the crab. This is the highlight of your date. Sex is inevitable? What are you wearing to seal the deal? Dolce Gabana The One?

Reminder that if you're worried about a frag being too 'girly' that's more of an issue with your own insecurity surrounding the idea of masculinity than with the scent

>>16007263
Sex is inevitable

>>16007266
>Reminder that if you're worried about wearing black nail polish that's more of an issue with your own insecurity surrounding the idea of masculinity than with the polish

>>16007285
Based reply, but even a feminine perfume is a lot less feminine than wearing nail polish.

>>16007266
Totally agree with you bro.

>>16007285
Yes, that is also true

Why buy anything else?

Hilarious to see coomers on a suicide watch just because someone simply questioned their vanilla fragerinos as not as masculine picks as they were conditioned to believe by all fragrance youtubers.
>b-b-b-but these female bestsellers you compare them to are aktchyually quite masculine
Keep posting anon, this cognitive dissonance is really entertaining.

>>16007334
Whatever bro. I just got a personal massager like pic related, every fitness YouTube channel says this is for sexy boys. I spray my Eros how I want, I massage my hamstrings how I want

>>16007345
Will it help me with getting the mythical secks with females?

>>16007104
>The flaw with this is that they’re extremely popular with people
I wear a cherry and dragon's blood fragrance to the club. Nobody smells like me at the club.

>>16007379
Can someone explain to me what "the club" is, or what "clubbing" is? I'm 28 and I don't think I've ever been to a club. I've been to plenty of bars but I don't think they counted as clubs.

>>16007387
Clubs have DJs and bottle service

>it's cool that you wear red t shirts anon all i am saying is that red is not the masuline
>sneakers are cool but they're the most masculine shoe you know
>bomber jackets are nice but harringtons are way more masculine, even girls wear bombers
the vannila debate in a nutshell. This thread has seen worse but seriously, i'm sure most people on here realize vanilla is that masculine. you sound like it's 1997 and you're shocked that the new popular mens fragrance le male has a big dose of vanilla, something only female fragrances had before. You make it sound like eros is the first vanilla bomb when we're 20 years of sweet fragrances in.

>>16007398
Damn, mobile posting butchered my message, but you get the gist

Have any of you guys smelled L'Artisan's Aedes de Venustas? How does it compare to Timbuktu?
I can't get my hands on Aedes for the life of me and I don't live anywhere near a store that would sell it. Is there a comparable fragrance that is more easily accessible?

bengale rouge is the evening scent here broskis. actually was the day scent as well, but since I didn't take an evening shower it's still around with good strength >:)

>>16006999
Wearing a fragrance that just has vanilla in it is in your opinion not manly enough,
but judging a mans scent is enough for you to completely dismiss any quality he has and compare him to a snapback-wearing kid?
I don’t know pal. To me, giving a fragrance so much leverage in the judgment of the masculinity of another male is actually gayer than wearing a girls deodorant marketed by Britney Spears or some shit.
I mean, I get that wearing skinny jeans and Ultramale isn’t quite where it’s at when it comes to masculinity but man you really are on another level of conservatism.

>>16007398
I think it depends on the vanilla. Something like Straight to Heaven is a vanilla scent, but not sweet and I’d call it pretty masculine. Eros straight-up smells like candy. Smelling like candy is objectively not masculine. Doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with that, but if you want to smell manly, that ain’t it.

>>16007425
>conservatism is cringe!!1
Trannies aren't an authority on masculinity so stfu

>>16006999
> All I'm saying is that smelling of very sweet vanilla doesn't strike me as particularly masculine
Fearing that a fucking vanilla fragrance could doubt your masculinity doesn’t strike me as particularly masculine either

>>16007398
>it's cool that you dyed your hair pastel pink anon all i am saying is that it's not very masuline
>ugg boots are cool but they aren't the most masculine shoe you know
>onesie are probably fun and look cute on girls but not sure if they look particularly respectable
corrected it for u

Just put in a sample order of mostly Zoologists. Got samples of everything that’s come out since Bee: New Bat, New Dodo, Koala, Musk Deer, New Rhino, Sloth, and Snowy Owl.

Also get an additional 3 samples free so I picked Slowdive, Salome and Corpse Reviver.

>>16007435
Bitch I race motorcycles, I’m a hobby mechanic, I’m ripped, I have a ton of fucking bodyhair and wear tailored shoes.
If you’d make try at a witty remark about my fragrance, I’d straight up OHP you in front of your boyfriend.
I’ll actually start wearing really girly frags so I can do that.

First post about vanilla this thread

>>16007502
Ok my mistake then

>>16007425
>>16007439
Lmao it all started with calling out Ultra Male and other very sweet vanilla fragrances and now you're trying to argue that he must hate the note completely and project some other unrelated bullshit. How triggered are you?

>>16007502
It tastes so good. It’s been so inappropriately reduced to meaning “ordinary”. It’s a strong flavor and a strong smell. Vanilla is strong.

>>16007502
Speaking of vanilla frags, how's the longevity on Noir Extreme?
I've tried Ultra Male and Code Absolu, both are too sweet for me so I might just blind buy the TF when it goes on sale sometime if it's not as strong as those two.

>>16007518

Can anyone recommend a fragrance under $500 that will make me feel a bit more sophisticated when hastily leaving a hotel having just been rammed from behind for an hour by a stranger and not showering after?

>>16007567
Let me take you on a journey, friend. You’re on vacation in San Francisco, you return to your hotel but have forgotten your room number. You walk into the room of another guest by mistake. Immediately upon entering, you notice that a bunch of sweaty men are fucking on a bed shaped like a giant martini glass covered with sequins. YMCA is playing on a loop on the room’s sound system, a disco ball hangs from the ceiling, a large TV displays episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race. John Waters is sitting on a chair in the corner sipping a cosmopolitan.

Ultra Male is gayer than that room.

>>16007597
You sound like an ultra male kind of fella

>>16007605
Stop projecting your insecurities anon. The fact that you can't embrace your own masculinity and don't wear sickeningly sweet vanilla scents is not my problem.
