bros.. bisch is back with an amber banger.. I wanna sample it

so are the new Kenzo frags any good? aquatics usually bore me to death, are these actually interesting for once?

You gotta cull your collection down to 4 frags. One for each season. What do you keep?

What's a good woody frag for fall? It's a bit difficult because early fall can still be very warm and late fall pretty cold. Probably something a bit sweet without going overboard with the sweetness. Also not too smoky.

Didn't get a chance to reply. I'd definitely recommend the Bora Bora. I'm terrible at describing smells, but it's like a watered down fruit smoothy if that makes sense. Like, light and fruity, sweet, but not cloyingly sweet. Also the two minis I got are Hermes d'Orange Vert Concentre & Eau de Citron Noir. Really excited to try them both out.

Is it weird for some fragrances to smell a lot better without showering before applying?

>>17122950
Bois imperial

>>17123027
Make sure you wint untill your skin is actually dry after the shower before you spray, i usually spread some unscented lotion on my chest to help keep fragrances from absorbing through my skin and improve longevity. Plus covering your whole body with lotion while you skin in still damp in the winter is pure luxury.

Dior Sauvage really is a master piece in terms of general scent and versatility

>>17123042
It's a heavily complemented (by women and not just dudes) fragrance without being some loud ass sweet vanilla clubbing scent.

>>17123059
Might I specify

>>17123059
Smelling it out of the bottle is generic, but after it's been on my skin and evaporated it smells really fucking good. I hate how much I like "the johnny depp fragrance"

Dior Sauvage EDT vs Versace homme Dylan Blue

All year summer and night life

>>17123285
Dylan Blue. If you still want a Sauvage go for the Parfum or the Elixir.

>>17122794
>Allure Homme Sport
Not oceanic in the slightest. And profumo is fine, you're overreacting

>>17122911
The one you posted barely even smells like an aquatic

>>17122911
It doesn’t smell ~aquatic~ as in perfume aquatic, but rather aquatic as in sea water or sea salt to me. That layered with the akigaliawood. I like it and it smells quite minimal. A friend of mind thought it smelled like shrimps and another one (female) thought it smelled like skin but better

Cool Water all year round because I'm a MEDBVLL

Is cool water intense a tropical frag?

>>17123059
is elixir the best? thinking of blind buying it since i liked the regular sauvage

>>17123541
it's very different to normal sauvage. be sure to try it at a store before buying

>>17123270
I'm not a fan of sauvage honestly
Bleu de chanel is way better

>>17123543
thanks i'll go and test it now

>>17123042
Not really.

>>17123059
don't really enjoy the base Sauvage. the synthetic pepper note isn't that great to my nose.

>>17123539
it is tropical, but not photorealistic tropical. just fruity sweetness.

>>17123541
i like Elixir but i don't like the regular Sauvage. i enjoy the spicyness and licorice of Elixir, but it might overwhelm some people who expected something lighter and fresher from a Sauvage flanker.

>>17123557
>photorealistic tropical.
Any examples? preferably designer or not too expensive

>>17123449
I personally don't get the Kenzo EDP hype. I got samples and while it does smell good, it's not something I'd call amazing or particularly interesting even for a designer scent.
I feel like it's going for a kind of night marine vibe, but Profumo does it better by virtue of having a much more pronounced aquatic note. Kenzo smells too clean and not even particularly aquatic to my nose.

Thinking of getting this as a cheap sweet scent, what am I in for?

What are the best Imaginary Authors scents? I'm gonna get their sample set

>>17123627
Every storm a Serenade

just made a quick trip by the local sephora to try whatever I felt like. some notes:
>H24
I've warmed up a lot to this one. nice and unique sweet fruity floral with green and metallic notes to keep it from being too sugary. smells synthetic in an interesting way with an "airy" feeling. feels much more original than all the sauvages, bleus and light blues it's going up against but still very easy to wear
>Kenzo Homme EDP
a darker marine scent with woody and patchouli elements. pleasant enough, but doesn't excite me, feels very reserved. I'm not all that into aquatics and it looks like quentin bish's take on the genre isn't going to change that
>Chanel Antaeus
still beautiful, top 5 frags I've tried so far. I think I'll get a bottle this autumn. I wonder if I can pull it off

>>17123618
>cheap sweet
What is "Wanting to be a woman?" for $500, Alex?

going to try out Armani Code EDP and if I like it I think I'll make that my date scent. Loved the OG but it's too weak these days, my sample I tried from 4 years ago was pitiful

try this ia him or eau des baux if you want a vanilla woody frag

>>17123868
Try Guerlain habit rouge if you want a vanilla woody frag. The vintage edc and modern edp have real oud. The edt isn’t as good as the other two.

>>17122950
Strawanza. Perfectly fine for all seasons but I mostly wear it during fall and spring. Might be hard to get though. Maybe try higher end barbershops or online stores that focus on that sort of thing. Really good juice.

>>17123868

I totally respect Quentin Bitch for Bois Imperial, Ganymede, and probably Kenzo edp 2022, i also love Akigalawood.
But let's face it most of his creations are a hit or miss.
Especially Encelade, got the chance to test it.
How does it smell?
Imagine a kids fruit candy, but in sour flavor and really sweet, with a little woods and vetiver, but mostly sweet, sour, fruity rubharb.
Also don't forget he created Le Male Parfum, One Million Parfum, Soul of the forest, all pretty forgotable.

What’s the photorealistic marine by Profumo? I know of Tom ford oud minerale and bvlgari aqva. I think it’s the seaweed that does it.

>>17123967
I've tried BI and Kenzo edp, but I don't really get the hype behind this guy
they both smelled pretty commonplace to me, just your average woody designer scent. putting in some new meme molecule doesn't make it that much different from the tons of atlas cedar and iso E scents all over the place

SOTD 5 sprays of antaeus
I think 5 sprays is about perfect, you get really strong projection for 1/2 hour or so and then it eases off a bit and you get a nice 1-2 foot scent bubble that lasts for the rest of the day.

>>17124050
I have Grey Flannel and I like it, but after buying it I realized two things: it will always smell dated and it's difficult to wear in real world situations.
For the price it's nice to have in your collection but I don't use it much.

yeah, it's pretty amazing. I was expecting it to be some unwearable super animalic monster, but it's actually very nicely balanced and pretty refined.

What smells like a storm and lasts a while. I like the idea of something clean, marine, ozonic.

>>17124427
ADG Profumo or Bvlgari Aqva for designer, Megamare for niche

>>17124413
Yeah all the reviews for it are silly, "this is a super animalic moster for MANLY MEN ONLY" meanwhile it's a nice floral chypre using 80s masculine florals and a women in a leather jacket could wear it if they felt like it. It's just so well composed and blended, it's immaculate.

>>17124302
It isn't that similar to Fahrenheit. It's a very strong powdery violet. It will surprise you how beastmode a powdery frag can be.
If you like the violet note you'll probably enjoy it but it's not always easy to wear because of how strong it is

Sixteen92 Supercell is fresh cut grass, slightly marine, very ozonic, like just after a summer thunderstorm. It is not part of the Sixteen92 regular catalogue, so you can only get it during The Vault events when most of the back catalogue becomes available

Just bought Frapin 1270. What am I in for?

>>17124599
Whoah boy, you are in for it alright (i have no idea, the notes look like syrupy canned pineapple but the reviews say it's much lighter than it looks)

Anything sexy and masculine was marketed to gays in the 80s. Due to a belief that women would just be intimidated by it. Which might be true maybe, male scents has become softer and more floral and citrusy since the 80s.

>>17125137

The SWY collection is very good but please do NOT wear it at the office, nor in hot weather. It's the perfect "cold night with a girl snuggling against you" frag.

H24 is much better while still being "office safe"

>>17125247
I recommend something from a non-meme brand. maybe Chergui or L'Envol if you want honey

>>17125268

From my sample of Cardinal probably somewhat similar to pine bubblebath. If you're from central europe you surely already smelled it.

anyone else think H24 is kind of underrated by the online frag """community"""? it's probably the most original major designer frag of last year

>>17125623
You guys are making me want to try it, but what kind of frag is it?

Guerlain petit is unironically a pretty based frag for a young dad. Also probably good for picking up girls.

Bois imperial

>>17125626
it's kind of abstract and hard to describe, but basically it's an airy, transparent green herbal frag with some fruity-floral sweetness (the narcissus note I think?) and metallic, mineral elements that are supposed to smell a bit like steam from a steaming iron
something about it reminds me of hay too, maybe a dried up meadow with flowers in the sweltering summer heat? or rather a futuristic, synthetic recreation of that scent

needless to say, it's pretty unique and there's not much else like it on the market, but it still fits into the post-Ellena Hermes catalogue of transparent, minimalist nature-inspired frags. and it's mild and pleasant enough to be a good work frag and generally not put anyone off

How the fuck do people wear mainstream blue frags? I went to the mall and all I smelled was Sauvage and BdC. I get that not everyone is into fragrances, but surely people must have some self-awareness to realize that they smell like everyone else? Why would they want that?

>>17125712
They are easy to wear, are the first thing that gets recommended when they go to a fragrance store, women in their life will like the smell and say it smells good on them. They real question is why you would wear something else when you could just buy a 6oz bottle of dylan blue for $80 and get complimented year round

>>17125710
its not there yet I just ordered it , I tried it out two weeks before and its a very nice fresh summer fragrance. it also heald on pretty long

>>17125712
People don't want to smell unique, they want to smell nice. Blue frags smell nice. Mainstream frags smell nice.

>>17122888
I could use some of you /fa/shionistas advice!

Bois Imperial

creed silver mountain water might just be the most putrid and offensive thing ive ever smelled.

>>17125712
Normal blue frags smell like toilet cleaner just soapy-citrusy, just type of scents should cost only a little. But people pay 3 digits for that shit.
Soapy scents overall are good, especially older type of soap scents have some charm(lavender, iris, oakmoss).
Modern ones smell synthetic(due to ambroxan) and every normie wears it.

>>17125740
Phantom by paco rabanne
Ignore the silly robot bottle, it's good shit

>>17125760
Yes yes we know you have far too advanced tastes to be impressed by a mere blue fragrance. Might i suggest eau de your own farts? Popular with people with advanced tastes such as yourself

>>17125752
Really? I rather like it. Pulls lots of compliments too. Granted, given Creed's QC, who knows what it smells like on any given day?

>>17125137
SWY Absolutely is cotton candy and candied almonds. It's so sweet and so much vanilla that it's almost disgusting, but just almost. Sadly, it is very well received by women (at least 2, but hey, that's more than 0), so the bottle gets to stay. I'm also not the person to call something "cloying", but it smells like spraying syrup onto yourself and is probably the densest sweet stuff I've ever smelled.
The internet is currently discussing whether or not L'Oreal has already begun diluting the SWY line, starting with the OG, so be aware of that.

>>17125740
If you like the Sauvage DNA but want a more unique version, just go for the Sauvage Elixir. It's a different kind of spicyness in there with licorice showergel as the drydown.
If you want CAHSEE but in a sharper version, with less vanilla, go for Carven L'Eau Intense. Minty-fresh and green, doesn't have any powder.

What has /frag/ blind bought lately?

>>17125829
Okay quick rundown, you apply just a small amount, swipe the dipstick on the back of your wrist then swipe it up with your finger and dab it on your chest neck maybe shoulders. It takes 10-15 minutes to warm up and start projecting so don't over apply.
The smell of out oil varies dramatically, green sour notes, deep woody notes, incense notes, dried fruits sometimes green herbs. So look for an oud oil that sounds like the aroma profile is something you would like. The longer the ould wood is fermented before distillation the stronger the sharp animalic barnyard notes are, with indian ouds typically being the most heavily fermented, so i wouldn't jump right in with those. 1ml is enough for a surprising number of wears. The more expensive oud oils typically offer more rare or exotic scent profiles.
It's freat stuff, complex enough to wear on its own, some of them open a bit harshly but then calm down into these beautiful mystical incense smells.
Typically you will experience something entirely different from most oud perfumes.
That shop has a decent reputation on the oud addicts forum and better prices than most. They also have a huge selection of the oud wood chips for burning on charcoal which is one of the must luxurious incenses in the world.

Missoni Wave. Another successful blind.

>>17125885
Wifey gifted me 212 sexy men (we lurk /fa/ together sometimes and a few days ago some anon recommended it). Smells like powder to me so I don't mind. She's REALLY into it.

>>17125885
I had a good deal and blind bought ADG Profumo, Cool Water Intense and JEP Acqua, waiting to receive them right now.

So i bought a bottle of cabochard edt (2019 version) and said i would post about it.
The bro that said it wasn't very unisex at all was right. All the reviews talked about moss and tobacco and leather, which is all there intiny quantities under a massive dose of aldehydes and mostly ylang ylang.
I guess a guy could wear it but it's not for me at all, i hate yellow florals. The wafts from the loft guys were raving about it and said its this amazing chypre and it would be worth it even at $100. But then only talked about the moss and leather and said some shit like their was a tiny hint of florals when this thing is 90% ylang ylang.
Anyway i learned my lesson, no more blind buying womens perfumes, also the wafts from the loft guys are a bit less accurate than they act like they are.
My wife was even a good sport and wore it for a day, i hated it on her too. If the ylang ylang was dialwd back by 50% and everything else was dialed up this would be a winner but as is it sucks.
Anyways good performance, great fragrance if you are looking for a gift for your elderly grandma.

So i have a question, I sold a decant of picrel, and in order to put the juice in the small 10ml bottle i just sprayed away inside directly from the big bottle. Now when i go to smell the frag it has a very odd opening very harsh and unlike what it was before i sprayed it into a decant. Did i fuck up my frag by doing that?

>>17125885
>Jpg le male on board
Fresh sweet tonka. Pretty cheap. Nice summer dumb reach frag.

>>17125971
No, but frags can change a bit smell wise or "macerate" as its called in the fragrance community, especially once it has been sprayed down some and some air gets in the bottle. So you didnt ruin thre fragrance it, it might smell slightly different or a little bit stronger that it did before but that would have happened over the next six months anyway if you just wore it a few times and kept it on the shelf. Polo green has always had some bite to it.

>>17125984
Yeah the only thing that's different is the opening which i can only describe as more harsh, almost with some alcohol smell to it, but after drying it goes back to smelling the way it used to. I was worried that by overspraying the mixture got fucked up or something similar

>>17125740
>>17125761
Might as well ignore the silly comment.
It's true that younger people like sweet shit, but don't go near that garbage.
If you want something sweet, go for Tom Ford's noir extreme.
Otherwise, go fresh and inoffensive. I.e. montblanc explorer.
Also, Prada l'homme still is a good bet.

>>17125761
>Ignore the silly robot bottle
I actually like the bottle and the name is cool. But the actual frag doesn't fit someone like me

>>17125885
I've only been copping samples off ebay since I have like 3 or 4 50ml and 2 30ml bottles to get through

>>17125885
Technically Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Signature, when it comes to a full bottle, although I had a sample of Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo. Other than that, a 30 mL split/decant of Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. Last real blind-buy must have been ages.

>>17125945
Anything above 75€ for the 180 mL isn't a good deal for Profumo, let alone the neutered version. I have my bottle here and I hate it to this day. Back when I bought it I wasn't so keen on returning shit batches, nowadays I would have sent it back.

>>17125640
A very cool bottle at least. Give a review when you try it

>>17126068
Where are you getting 180ml for 75€?

I blind-bought "A'mmare" by Carthusia.

Anyone tried it? I couldn't find samples anywhere and really wanted to try.

>>17126095
literally nowhere, he is clueless. The lowest for any ADG is around 60 bucks if you are lucky for 100 ml of ADG EDT which is the cheapest.

Aqua Di Parma Colonia Essenza is so fucking nice but the performance is so so shit for the money. Not even worth stealing s bottle because it will just disappoint me every time I wear it.

>>17122888
i wanna smell like a jungle juice elux vape pen how is this achieved?

finally got that sample set from penhaglion's and holy shit, Mr Sam is pure sex

>>17125885
Last blind buy was Bleu De Chanel EDT
REally liked the opening, was not a fan of the later stage of the fragrance initially but it has grown on me

>>17125885
L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme. It's very citrus-fresh and floral, my nose doesn't detect any of the woodsy base notes, overall I really like it.

>>17125885
i didn't receive it yet, but i copped 2005 cool water from a trusted source, it was like an equiv for 20 bucks, im not a fan of this scent but we'll see if a vintage batch changes anything

bros, this is so good, for 15 dollars i can even call it a hidden gem

>>17126469
what's it like?

>>17122888
went to the mall today and walked around with an orange julius and went around sniffing fragrances. It was a good day. Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme impressed me today. 6-7 hours later it's still on my skin, but I didn't notice it projecting very strongly most of the time. Still a pretty nice fougere.

>>17123516
Remind me to never sit beside you.

>>17126472
it's like typical prada powder and soap, but with touch of greenness, on fragrantica they mention that it has some fahrenheit DNA, well it's not a clone but somewhere in the background it may be true
you can also imagine blue jeans but less sweet and more white collar, similar fluffy and powdery quality

>>17126482
thanks, that sounds interesting. I wish I had the money to try every fragrance I found interesting.

picrel is my scent of the month.

Fuck me.... this shit, this shit right here smells so fucking good.
Masculine af, versatile, my gf loves it, lasts all day although it doesn't project as well as say Chanel AHS.

Get your nose on this one if you can. Spray it on skin and let it ride with you throughout the day.
Guarantee you'll be impressed.

ADG Profondo or Versace Dylan Blue?

>>17126491
Neither. God damn. Both are shit.

If you want a blue fragrance, go with YSL Y EDP, BDC Parfum, or Sauvage EDP.

>you gotta get your nose on this!!

dylan blue smells like cummies

All of those blue suggestions smell like pic related.
Dunno why modern blue frag is the shitty formula over and over again.
Atleast OG Cool water was green and fresh, now newest flankers try to copy the Sauvage/Invictus shit too.

Unique blue scents could be like CW Ocean extreme, Bulgari Aqua Marine, Acqua Jeanne en Provence, Every Storm A Serenade.

>>17126145
I got 125ml of Profumo, plus 75ml of CWI and 100ml for the JEP Acqua, for 100 total

>Bought 100ml DHI on duty free during my overseas trip
>Found out my local marketplace trusted seller sells 150ml DHI only 10 bucks more expensive
Fuck now I feel like a total buffoon, now I need to get that 150 ml bottle and it's going to be a waste of money

>>17126608
from my experience duty free is more expensive than local lol

>>17125885

Eau des Baux

Can anyone rec a $100 or less (willing to go over by $20) for a poor wagie who needs to get a 2nd job and wants to impress the female HR interviewer? Something I can buy in person at any store? I'm seriousily in trouble here and my stick of cheap gas station "scentless" deoderant isn't gonna cut it. I hate "aquatic" denatured alcohol heavy frags

I was looking for frags which smells like brandy/cognac, and I found this.
I hate fougeres, Azzaro Pour Homme included, but this one apparently smells like cinnamon and brandy. Sounds very appealing to me, anyone tried it?

>>17126932
It is very nice sweet, winter fragrance, for my nose definetly not fougere and smells diffrent than regular azzaro pour homme.

>Cool Water Intense 125 ml at 25 bucks including shipping on Notino
FUUUUUCK I DON'T WANNA CONSOOM AGAIN NOOOO
Please tell me you can't actually smell the coconut note and it's just a long lasting sweet amber smell so i don't buy it... It's shit r-right? fuck it's so cheap...
>>17126952
Nice. Is it in any way similar to Jazz Club? It's sold out everywhere mmmh...

>>17126957
Nah, Azzaro gives very "cozy" cinnamon and brandy smell, while jazz club have strong tobacco smell mixed with rum and vanilla

>>17126957
>125 ml at 25 bucks
Fuck I should've gotten the 125 why did I get the 75ml

>>17126957
>$25
Damn this hobby is cheap.

>>17126957
Imagine Invictus, but much more synthetic, added some sweets.

>>17126961
aight. Do you own the azzaro or were you able to sample it? which store? And what about performance?
>>17127014
still hasn't arrived? When is delivery planned? The discounts end on the 17th, I shall wait until then to decide

>>17126419
cat piss in 90 degree heat however

>>17127036
Delivery is next week, I already paid. I think I paid 17 for the 75ml which isn't bad but eh

>black currant listed under notes

Ah ok so it smells like cat piss got it.

love this one, subtle cedar woody notes long lasting

i want this so much

im making kinda ceapies gems collection, wich one of these are worth buying still?

Etienne Aigner No. 1 Intense

Guess 1981 Los Angeles
Dunhill Desire Gold
Dunhill Custom
Cartier L'Envol (might buy just cus i love the bottle)
Moschino Uomo?
La Martina Hombre

rsvp

>>17127203
>Moschino Uomo
Grab that if you can find a cheap bottle, especially the cool older double ended ones

>>17127203
and this one too

Mercedes-Benz VIP Club Addictive Oriental

>>17127036
I own decant from a guy that bought the fragrance through Notino. About 6-8 hours, i haven't been using it for a while (it's summer duh). I would rate projection 6/10 - you won't fill the room (which is good for my taste - i hate too loud fragrances) but it's still detectable.

>>17127203
Uomo? is great, escpecially for the price, very unique - truly an all time classic. Guess los angeles is similar to verasce eros, mediocre longevity

Just received some samples from Lucky Scent. Is there a proper way to transfer these to an atomizer? Is it even necessary or are the blotter sticks inside the coals good enough?

Also, what atomizer would you recommend?

>>17125558
Its a woody Invictus, nothing to do with the Acqua di Gio line.

>>17127203
L'Envol is pretty nice, a woody honey frag that's not too heavy or cloying somehow, has a lightness about it

>>17127247
So another Invictus clone?

>>17127245
Just dump some on your chest and pat it on with your fingers, it's not worth trying to puch sudh small amounts in atomizers you will just make a mess.
The little dipstick thing is mostly useless, fine for sniffing i guess but not that helpful for applying

Not that much into citrus scents, but pic related combines citruses with bitter powdery notes. Pretty sharp, a little metallic.
Cuts through the heat like a block of ice.

>>17125254
>Kouros
king kouros

I'm really happy with Voyage d'Hermes EDP, the longevity is quite good, the projection is intimate but it's not a skin scent (which is exactly what I want), and the scent itself is excellent, fit for every season or occasion yet not generic. I get a slight hint of Terre somewhere in there during the first hour, but it definitely develops into its own thing with the cardamom. Signature worthy imo.

>>17127293
yeah, it's pretty great. Hermes is kind of underrated in general, everyone only talks about Terre when Voyage, H24, and the Jardin and Eau series are also great, not to mention good old Bel Ami. definitely up there with Dior and Chanel, far above most of the other designer houses

>>17127320
The issue with the Jardin and Eau series is that for the most part they're really lacking in longevity. There are some amazing scents in there but I don't see the point of buying a bottle of something that becomes a skin scent after half an hour and completely disappears three hours later.
It's too bad, Jardin sur le Nil is really good.
L'Ombre des Merveilles isn't bad either

I think about getting Terre d' Hermes eau Vetiver intense or Terre d' Hermes EDP, which one is in your opinion better? I only know so far EDT and Vetiver intense, also how is Guerlain Vetiver when compared to these two?

> Guerlain L'Homme Idéal Eau de Parfum
>Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal, for man.

Give me opinions:

>Cuir Ottoman
>LADDM
>Cardinal
All of these seem to contain a molecule my nose overreacts to, which then reminds me of cheap incense sticks my mom burned when I was a kid. It overpowers everything else, so that I'm unable to smell anything else. A fucking shame really, I wish I could avoid sampling those frags beforehand, but I don't know how. The only note they all seem to share, according to fragrantica, is labdanum, so maybe it's one of the synthetics trying to recreate that.

>>17127340
guerlain vetiver is more of an old school old mannish scent. very green, tobacco, herbal and no sweetness whatsoever

>>17127432
Scandal is awful. I like sweet fragrances, but this is too much. I've tried the normal Guerlain L'Homme Idéal, not my taste, but its good. The EDP its supossed to be a better version with a cherry note added, so I imagine its good too.

>>17127533
Totally prefer Encre Noir or Guerlain Vetiver over the mostly fruity Terre de Hermes.

>>17127572
understandable, they're all good frags. the guerlain can give off old mannish vibes more than TdH or EN though, as expected from a 60 year old release

>>17126095
Spain.

>>17126068
>tfw notino just restocked the 180 after I bought the 125
Fuck me I could've consoomed even harder

>>17126490
Could use some more iris. It just doesn't feel right to wear something "Dior Homme" without iris.

>>17126608
Just buy both so you don't have to worry about future reformulations or discontinuation.

>>17126731
Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum.

>>17126957
Recently ordered a backup bottle of this one. CW Intense might be a sweet crowdpleaser, but its performance on me is insane. For that price I can't just NOT have a backup. Bought CWI 125 mL and regular CW 200 mL for 52.23€ (Prime day sale, will arrive on Friday).

>>17127631
in the end you're still left with the neutered version of profumo.
from the time i smelled it first i thought that this would be the aquatic scent i could finally wear, just for the room-filling performance, but nope, when i bought my own bottle i got l'orealcucked.

the good thing is that my entire gym doesn't smell like it anymore, the regular profumo wearer in there must have also bought a new bottle.

>>17127643
>room-filling
I'm not asking for that much
Decent longevity and small projection are enough

>>17127649
yeah but then you can just spray less. not sure how many sprays that guy was on, but i would say it was a satisfying amount. now i spray 40 sprays and nobody in here can smell me unless they get close.

>>17127757
I second burberry london and eau des baux
or Zino by Davidoff if you want the same brand. good enough for Tom Ford to release a frag heavily inspired by it for 5x the price

what's the most balsamic, sacred and austere incense fragrance you can think of?
I'm on a mission to find the perfect incense frag and your input is very welcome
>what I tried before, adding stuff from last time
Incense City by AllSaints, hardly any incense, too powdery and vanilla-y
Incense by Franck Boclet, not enough incense, too much contour
CDG2 MAN, not enough incense
Bois d'Encens by Armani, too sweet and pricey
Rien Intense Incense by ELDO, too much diesel oil
Ikon by Zirh, too sweet, bit too much contour
This is Him! by Zadig & Voltaire, not enough incense, not very balsamic, lots of vanilla and other assorted spice
Eau Trois by Dyptique, good for the first 20 minutes, then it becomes more and more soapy and the performance is terrible on my skin
Vetiver by Le Labo, nicely balsamic and fresh, but too much vetiver
Full Incense by Montale, not very realistic, metallic
Fille en Aiguilles by Serge Lutens, not much incense all in all, much too sweet
Incense Extreme by Tauer, too dry and woody, almost leathery
Tiger's Nest by MEMO, good, if a bit too plain, and more expensive than what I'd like
L'Eau d'Issey pour Encens, too much of the overdone shower gel base
and surely some other stuff that I can't remember
also I'd rather stay away from discounted frags because of the availability and leavening prices
and I've ordered a sample of Avignon by CDG

>>17127757
I don't think they make laundry detergent for winter

>>17127797
Cardinal by james heely
Eau Sacree by James Heeley
Lavs by Filippo Sorcinelli (this is the meme balsamic incense frag, but i don't know if it lives up to its reputation)

>>17127797
Ma Nishtana by Prissana, easily the best incense around
