What is this a review for? Under the profile pic there is a small Tom Ford private blend bottle of some sort.

If he has gotten a tom ford private blend bottle for $12 then he has done a massively good deal.

Joop! WOW!

Is Obsession For Men too old-school for a young guy?

>>17131579

What are some interesting designer scents? Spare me the usual H24 and Kenzo shilling

Fuck off

This lad seems to have great reviews of many frags that others don't really cover much if at all. Also a very good trumpeter, the jazzy vibes make the vids more classy.
Having cope in the name is just the cherry on top.

Wow nobody has recommended anything but shit, dead thread, failed general, take it out back, douse it in one man show and light it on fire, its over

>>17131644
>one man show
now theres a good rec

>>17131644
>light it on fire
light my fire?
Good fall and winter fragrance

>>17131602
Toy Boy is good shit

>>17131644
I'd recommend sucking on my Fat Cock Pour Homme.
The opening is quite pungent, especially after a gym session, musky, manly.
The middle notes are intoxicating, you can't stop sucking on it.
The drydown (well, the wetdown) is something to behold: some days you can pick up salt, but most of the times it's a creamy, sweet taste I mean scent.

Unfortunately, performance is just 2 minutes.

>>17131654
What's it like? Im pretty interested. Is it more of a green/metalic rose accord?

Plebs need to get the fuck out this thread and sample more

>>17131597
Rochas Man (1999)

>>17131670
>he said, shilling Clown Water and Dior Homme every 30 minutes

>>17131659

>>17131602
I have a sample of this, might have to try it out soon seeing as everyone is suddenly interested in it. Also I got my first compliment today from the receptionist at work. Was wearing Y EdP and at the end of the day she stopped me saying "oh Anon, by the way you smell SO GOOD today, like og my goodness what is that cologne you have?" Felt real good.

>>17131669
It's a dark, spicy (cloves), peppery rose and pear. Green but not metallic. Linear scent but it projects 10+ feet away and lasts a long time.

>>17131687
What kind of occasion is it appropriate for? Like is it a loud clubbing scent or something else, what kind of impression does it make

>>17131687
Awesome thanks

>>17131679
Wrong autist friend. How about you start talking about what you actually like and stop shitting up the thread cause you're a whiny faggot.

>>17131682
>for men
I'll take that one for the team. saved.
>>17131699
the thread just started, everyone is discussing frags and you are the only one whining.

I will go sampling tomorrow or sunday and report back as usual, don't fret

>>17131693
It's a bold scent for nights out and if you want to make a statement. Don't bother wearing it in public if you care about smelling traditionally masculine, or if you're not a confident outgoing dude. Because it will wear you.

Bought a bottle of Tam Dao EdP from a discounter after trying it at a store

Something about that freshly cut grass smell in the opening made me love it

>>17131579

>>17131778

>>17131541

>>17131634
That one is really good. I spray it on myself everytime i drive with the metro. Smells so mechanical.

>>17131753
Tam Dao edt and Bois Imperial are the only woody frags someone should care about.
Tam Dao edp is more green and smooth, the edt more cedar focused.

Cape Heartache
Sampled this a while back, initially thought it was nice but too basic in the strawberry, however returning to it I found the mistiness of the pine and wood enchanting and pronounced throughout the drydown. Simple but pleasing enough for frequent office wear. Purchased a full bottle while giving me an opportunity to sample most of the collection.

The Soft Lawn 2.0
Yeah, it's rubber and ivy. Not even to an offensive degree, it's fine and even it gets less astringent over time, but still rather meh.

Yesterday Haze
Hard to describe initially, I don't get the fruitiness of the fig but a pleasant hazy astringent mix with the wood and nuts. The creaminess comes through and it smooths out quite elegantly. Long lasting subtle sweetness. Worth a try if you like By the Fireplace and such.

Every Storm a Serenade
Extremely watery (calone), with fennel (maybe from the eucalyptus and spruce, others claim carrots) and only a tiny bit of salt, on the opening, then rapidly (mere minutes) settles into the same spruce and vetiver as Encre Noir but a tad lighter. It's okay, just not worth the additional price.

>>17131857
Slow Explosions
Opened powdery, almost baby powder but slightly bitter or sour, then came forth the cool leather like Ombre Leather, but it slowly over the day gets taken over by generic sweetness until that's all that's left. Also I dropped the spray vial and fucking smashed it, so that's that.

A City on Fire
It literally just smells like barbecue. Not as much smoke but the actual sauce, spicy and sweet. Scrubbed off because I didn't feel like waiting that out.

O'Unknown
It smells like a ream of fresh cut paper. A slight sweetness, there's something specific that this reminds me of that I cannot remember, maybe salt water taffy and its smell of wax paper wrappers, others say chewing gum. I don't detect the tea much, despite prominently advertised.

Sundrunk
Citrisy but a more artifical one, again similar to a candy or soda. The neroli contributes to it smelling like pool toy vinyl. I'm not familiar with rhubarb if that's even in there. Not as long lasting but overall is pleasant summery feel.

I have a few more.

>>17131309
>You can even wear this one in 25c without it being too cloying
This one what, HR EDC or Caron pour un homme?

>>17131644
> one man show
shittiest forced meme here of them all

>>17131644
what have your recs in this thread been so far? identify them and I'll tell you why they're shit. or are you just complaining without adding anything?

My brother keeps spraying drakkar noir in 35 degrees C. Is he based?

>>17131998
For me Drakkar Noir ist totally refreshing like any other aquatic scent

>>17132011
It changes the scent in the heat too. The fir and patchouly come out as opposed to colder months when its more lavender and leathery.

>>17131998
drakkar noir is fine in hot weather. it's quite green, soapy and refreshing

Is MFK good

>>17132020
meme overpriced pseudo-niche brand

>>17132026
Do they have anything worth trying

>>17131617
This is the only cool black (fragrance) dude. Makes videos like it's 2012. Top 5? Top 10? How about top 40 with shit you never heard of + expensive niche.

Lmao, OMS Gold edition is the new Aventus

>>17132027

>>17131617
Would frags react different to a black person's skin?

>>17131541
All the niche fragrances that obvious enthusiasts bring up aside, what's your workhorse you wear normally or to work?

>>17131859
Thanks, was wondering about those

>>17132049
usually JEP Neroli Intense or Terre d'Hermes. sometimes Eau des Baux in the winter, sometimes Drakkar Noir when I feel like it

considering getting something from the Encre Noire line too, but I can't decide which one I like the best, and maybe that one Platinum Egoiste clone by Armaf (Legesi)
I've considered H24 too, but it hasn't quite wowed me. it's unique, but very minimalistic and subtle to a fault. it could use some more depth, maybe deeper green tones or something. if they manage to spice it up a little with a flanker it has the potential to be a truly great fragrance

fucking guerlain is sold out on discounters everywhere. what's the next designer house I should look into

>>17132069
>JEP Neroli Intense
How is that one? I heard it's a bit too unisex.

>>17132072
givenchy, loads of great fragrances

>>17132072
Jacques Bogart

>>17132069
>H24

They should have used deeper green of something interesting notes than just jelly bears

>>17131616
>fuck off

>>17132069
>H24

They should have used deeper green or something interesting notes than just jelly bears

>>17132098
Imagine having this shit saved on your computer
If you needed any more proof the guerlain/caron tard was a closeted faggot kek

>>17132081
to me it's more male-leaning, since it's based on a famous 18th century male cologne (4711) and neroli is kind of soapy and a traditionally masculine floral note
it smells nice, starts with a natural-smelling lemon and goes more and more into that clean, soapy white floral. very simple and minimal everyday fragrance, safe and inoffensive and very cheap. performance is mediocre overall but pretty good for this kind of fresh fragrance at this price point

if you want to have an idea of what it smells like before buying, try out Neroli Portofino at a store, it smells very similar. but for 10$ you might as well blind buy and just use it as bathroom spray if you don't like it lol

>>17132100
I agree, it's like it's almost a great fragrance, but missing something. it's like it's not quite finished or something
I hope they make a Parfum or Intense flanker with something more to it, because there is a lot of potential here I think

>>17132072
Caron
I'm assuming you've already looked into the big three of Chanel, Dior and Hermes

'sup guys

im twenty and looking for a Everyday-Frag.
i dont care about uniqueness that much.
I live in Europe and i have a summer frag lined up so something for Autumn would be ideal.

My dad wears Aqua die Gio and i find it super boring and to aquatic. I want something that is spicy and playful and i like citrus. I usually wear a shirt or a simple but clean style. I want to come across as masculine but i feel Leathery scents would be inauthentic?

Ideal Price would be something like 75$ / 100ml (=6.4 oz). idont mind it being cheaper of course.
Hope you can work with this.

>>17132121
>Leathery scents would be inauthentic?
They're just a mistake during summer, that's all.

>>17132121
Bois Imperial

>>17132127
It's neither spicy nor citrusy

>>17132102
This. For this very reason I avoid all Bogart shit too.

>>17132124
good to know thanks

>>17132121
Get Bois Imperial by Essential Parfums. It’s a great, liekable niche well within your budget.

>>17132129
It is though.

>>17132134
It's citrusy? Fuck that shit, I was about to order a sample but citrus sucks

>>17132121
If you don't care about uniqueness just go to a department store and find something you like

>>17132129
Opening have spicy Thai basil and Timur pepper which have a grapefruit note. I agree and wouldn't call it a spicy citrus frag.

>>17132121
Honestly your best bet would be going to a local fragrance store and trying out samples. It's difficult to recommend this on sight unseen, especially if you're buying blind online.

>>17132140
>>17132145
yeah obviously. but then im limited by the 5 options they have there. ill do that too

>>17132121
Try Versace Eau Fraiche, BdC, L'Eau d'Issey, Lalique White, or if you don't mind shelling out a bit more money, Voyage d'Hermes

>>17132149
thx

What do you do when a gifted frag ends up being a disappointment? Part of me wishes people would ask first before buying blind if they don't know much about smelly water.

>>17132154
I wear it when I don't care at all, like when I know I don't have anything important to do except take out the trash and buying groceries
It's rare that a gifted scent smells bad since it's always something safe and designer

is this really as good as they say?

>>17131579
>boomers
IDK i kinda get the zoomer vibe here

>>17132121
somewhat underrated advice, but unless the price difference is small enough to ignore I'd go for 30ml bottles first. who knows, maybe you can even buy multiple frags for the combined cost.

>>17132154
Sell it or swap it.
Fragrances are taste-based, so I don't know why people think they make good gifts. Probably because of the insane margins and therefore hefty pricetag.

Semi-related story:
The Scent Absolute was the first frag I blind-bought and it instantly healed me from blind-buying, because it sucks. Sold it (on eBay with regular bidding).
It also healed me from believing anything on fragrantica, because they find all that woodiness, smokiness and what not in it, but it's just fruity and very linear. By now some people on fragrantica compare it to Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Signature, of which I also own a bottle, and they smell nothing alike.

>>17132161
Skin is a bitch and nose picks up weird notes.

>>17132121
The only thing you can do which makes sense if you don't want to collect frags is to go somewhere where they have frags and test them or order samples through the internet. The recommendations in this thread are often nothing short of retarded and will make you hate spending money on frags as well as making you own a bottle of some stuff you hate.

Anyway, Dior Sauvage.

>>17132167
OK ! will do

>>17132167
Eh I don't know about that, this thread's recs have been alright so far, though I've been smart and haven't blind bought stuff that isn't cheap. The only disappointing one to me was Kenzo

Sometimes I get the urge to drench myself in cheap cologne. Splash-on required.

>>17132173
Well, your mileage may vary. For me, it became pretty clear that sampling is the only way to go. I sampled suggestions from these threads after I ruled out the ones I certainly wouldn't like (aquatics), sniffed stuff at the store or bought samples, bought bottles of stuff I liked. Some samples have been great, others have been horrible. It's a mixed bag, and so are single-fragrange-suggestions.

>>17132154
>What do you do when a gifted frag ends up being a disappointment?
it sucks, that's what. you can decant it and sell off.

Is it blind buy worthy?

>>17132121
the one eau de parfum is a nice playful spicy citrus
costume national homme is also a good choice if you want something less overdone
or terre d'hermes if you want a more serious, masculine woody spicy citrus

>>17132198
definitely not. it's not that great and not cheap enough to be a safe blind buy

London to Mumbai is great. Especially for $50 I paid for a 100ml of it. It’s an elegant, fresh but deep fragrance. It’d work great for a Chad in his 30-40s. I’m 29 but gonna wear it for more formal occasions. It’s a kind of modern take on what I expected Habit Rouge to be. Nice lemon too

>>17132198
Yes, but the smells stays too much, specially on clothes. Fucking Bisch made a powerhouse from a not-so-likable smell.

Sotd Guerlain Coriolan. Man this is nice. Also makes onions boys seeth

what a beautiful green floral chypre... anyone tried the EDT? I hear it's more unisex with more green and less florals

>>17132198
Imagine Bois Imperial adding in fig-green notes and fresh peppery gherkins.
For me a huge stepup from the trash Kenzo had before.
Also got the chance to sample the edp 2022 version. It's literally the dame like the 2021 intense version, but adding in some soft leather note.

>>17132219
Bisch brought Kenzo back to life, after they shilled some Invictus-like clones before.

>>17132198
Nope. Smells generic and fades away too quickly

>>17132257
>Nope. Smells generic

You mean pic related? 2021 Intense is like Kenzo goes Niche.

>>17132219
Based Bisch again pulling off something seemingly impossibly with all whining by perfumers about reformulation and banned ingredients forcing them to make perfumes perform like shit

>>17132253
>the trash Kenzo had before.
You have garbage taste

>>17131597
Unironically Chanel Platinum Egoiste. It’s at that point in which it was played out to hell in its heyday, but since it’s been so long and we’re deep down in saccharine-sweet tonka ambers and post-aquatic blue frags, it’ll stand out.

>>17132295
He's likeable, his fragrance taste is trash

know of anything that smells of vanilla and almonds?

>>17132304
Try something from the L'Homme Ideal line. The base one should fit well enough. The EdP is cherries on top, the Extreme one is plum+heliotrope on top.

>>17132304
amandes orientales by montale

>>17132198
>>17132225
those are some interesting bottles shapes.

>>17132322
I think the Kenzo bamboo bottles are kind of tacky personally

>>17132325
they are due to the plastic caps. if they used glass ones they would be nice. Also the bottle doesn't feel like glass even though I think it is? Just cheap shit for fairly high prices. and shit frags too.

The best bottle designs are simple ones with nice illustrations.

>>17132329
yeah I don't really get the hype on these either. the EDT intense is just some generic fruity calone aquatic and the EDP smells like a worse ADG Profumo with added gherkins and sweat

Kenzo used to be better.

>>17132308
>The EdP is cherries on top
Fuck me, maximum want. Too bad it's sold out most places now.

>>17132121

what are your favorite bottle designs, anons?
mine are:
>Eau Sauvage
>Fahrenheit
>Dior Homme
>Terre d'Hermes
>the Jardin series from Hermes
>most Chanel bottles
>most Tom Ford bottles

>>17132340
Tom Ford bottles look sleek as fuck
Diptyque bottles have a "luxurious" yet understated look to them, same for MFK, Profumum Roma and Acqua Di Parma
Aquatics that play around with gradients on the bottle or use frosted glass tend to be cool, like Profondo or Kenzo Homme 1991
Not a fan of ELDO's design in general but pic related in particular looks great
Imaginary Authors has the best illustrations of any brand
And The Dreamer has a cool vaporwave vibe going on

>>17132340

encre noire a l'extreme

>>17132347
>Profondo
Profondo Lights*

>>17131859
>Not as much smoke but the actual sauce, spicy and sweet.
That's a shame. I was thinking about getting the sample pack mostly for that because I want something smoky.

>>17132347
> Profumum Roma bottles nice
Only on pictures. They seem flimsy as fuck and are leaky as hell.

>>17132389
I don't know what you mean by flimsy, but you can screw off the Atomizer and fill the roll-on travel decanter that is included.

>>17132332
>fruity calone aquatic

Kek, fruity? Original di Gio is fruity due to the citruses, Kenzo intense is woody, aquatic, spicy.
The gherkins are a plus, don't need another nice guy fragrance. It's the perfect mix between edgy and enjoyable.

>>17132340
Most of lalique bottles

Can somebody recommend me some nice lavender+ginger fragrance?

>>17132340
Jovoy bottles are sexy as hell

>>17132109
Dior is too pricey and boring. I like the homme cologne but I heard it doesn't last. Terre de Hermes just smells really weak and flat to me despite everyone loving it. I'm not sure why. Chanel just smells too safe and I don't like the allure sport line

>>17132460
Nice big sweeping generalizations you got there anon.

>>17132460
>Dior is too pricey and boring
Fahrenheit and the Homme line are the opposite of boring. not even that pricey either, can usually be found for like 60$ at discounters
>Chanel just smells too safe
modern Chanel scents are boring, but Antaeus, Egoiste and Platinum Egoiste are top tier designer scents. especially Antaeus is the opposite of safe and boring, beautiful and daring scent

>>17132460
Dior fragrances are really good, but pricey indeed. Only one fragrance is boring, the most shilled one.
But overall agree on Terre de Hermes, obly get oranges from that fragrance.

>>17132471
Fève Délicieuse And Tobacolor are the best of the Dior Privé line

Wow, you guys weren't joking. Kouros is a spot on dupe for a freshly used urinal cake.

There is a online Shop with a great Fragrance sale (20% of and a 20€ Coupon for the next buy), but i dont know what to buy.

fragmaxxing, white pipo need not apply

Uh... I'm reading through all the sticky info. In the meantime if you have a chance for recommendations:

> Provide your age range.
I'm 29, Male

> Provide the season or climate you intend to wear the fragrance in.
Los Angeles, so generally hot and summery.

> Provide your ideal price range for buying a recommended frag.

I think like $200 is the max I'd be willing to spend but I don't fully understand the price ranges yet


> Provide some details on what type of scent you are looking for (favorite notes and accords, hated notes and accords, etc.)

Mainly for dates. Bisexual male, mostly interested in other men right now if that matters. I'm more on the masculine side, but I'm open to more gender neutral scents.

Was wondering if there were any scents out there that would be generally attractive to men and women.


> Provide some details on your intended aesthetic and setting for wearing a scent (frag for school, the office, dates, casual daily wear, etc.)

Mainly for going out with friends, going on dates, meeting new people, etc

Thanks <3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfTgO9rpqck&ab_channel=LatinHype

>>17132655
In no particular order
Tomboy Neroli 65 by Parle Moi de Parfum
Toy Boy from Moschino
Oud mineral fron tom ford
Bois imperial from essential parfums
Encre noir sport from lalique
Hommage à l'Homme lalique
Hermes h24

>>17132668
https://www.parfumdreams.de/

>>17132666
ehhh sort of.
I'm 6'3" and more muscular (or working on it).
Twink is not the vibe I'm going for but it's probably more accurate than I'd like it to be.

>>17132678
Checking these out thank you!

>>17132655
Dior Homme Intense for dates and nights out (somewhat sweet yet elegant iris gourmand frag that's sexy to both genders)
Encre Noire Sport for everyday use (refreshing, watery woody frag. cheap so you can apply it liberally)

>>17132664
This seems nice

>>17132685
Not that anon
https://www.parfumdreams.de/Bvlgari/Herrenduefte/Man-Terrae-Essence/Eau-de-Parfum-Spray/index_103015.aspx
Kind of sort of like terre de hermes but more rich soil kind of vibe, good price if im reading that correctly and it's 49€

Is there something like DHI but for summer?

Hey guys, new lurker here. Havent seen any references to YSL cologne in any infographic or the thread. Thoughts?

>>17132703
Bois Imperial

>>17132703
Dior Homme Original is the lighter, more summery version. but DHI is fine for nights in the summer I think
>>17132706
ignore, has nothing in common with DHI and is just memed by some annoying spammer right now

>>17132655
Ombre Leather.

>>17132704
YSL frags have kind of gotten cucked by their parent company L'Oreal and they get reformulated and watered down at random
so I wouldn't suggest buying them, they're usually not worth the price nowadays. Dior, Hermes and Chanel are much more worth buying at a similar pricepoint

>>17132704
Smells good, lasts 10 minutes

>>17132664
Sounds good. Somehow makes me think of Mugler Cologne or Original Vetiver, though with the black currant and calone it's probably actually nothing like either lol.

>>17132685
>>17132598
>Jovoy Psychedelique
delicious rum dark chocolate cake patchouli. not too sweet, very powerful
>Chanel Antaeus
smells like an aristocratic vampire. elegant and romantic on the surface with the rose and classic chypre structure, but there is something dark and beastly lurking underneath
>Guerlain Shalimar

>Chopard Oud Malaki

>Voyage d'Hermes Parfum
you're having green tea with lemon and cardamom in a forest meadow. calming and easy to like

>>17132655
Chanel Platinum Egoiste.
The 100 mL is 78.95€, which is already a good price. Check if your 20% coupon is working for that.

>>17132695
While I can't say anything about the smell of this, the 60 mL bottle is available for 39.09€elsewhere, basically negating the 20% coupon.

>>17132655
Can’t go wrong with some of the most popular masculine releases: Bleu de Chanel EDP, Sauvage EDT, JPG Le Male or Ultramale… find a Macy’s or Nordstrom and try out stuff. if you want something that is not as popular, you could do something like Chanel Platinum Egoiste or Essential Parfums Bois Imperial.

>>17132704
YSL L’Homme is a good generalist. Sweet, spicy, yet fresh. Can use it in almost any occasion, and it’s easily wearable most of the year.

>>17132749
Ah damn I meant to reply to this anon >>17132598
and not the other one.

>>17132655
Bois Imperial is a very unisex, masculine-leaning fragrance.

Try Quorum or Bogart One Man Show

Ganymede literally let's me smile during applying. The sprayer is creme de la creme, very dusty and wide and that sweet saw dust opening seasoned with orange makes me horny.

Also Ganymede was a feminine male lover of Zeus.

>>17132778
Top: Sauvage
Bottom: Ultra Male

>>17132781
doesn't surprise me. it is famous for being loved by other men and meh to most women after all

>>17132718
I meant an elegant and attractive men's frag that is not traditionally masculine and might lean softer, more feminine, or unisex (DHI has the iris note but is too heavy for summer)

>>17132803
It's a male(girl)

>>17132816
Try Bois Imperial or even better Ganymede. I own DHP and i can see some parallels.

>>17132835
>BI
>soft and unisex
???

>>17132837
Not that anon, but that seems to be a common opinion about BI.

>>17132832
are there any pictures of her vagina?

>>17132816
>>17132835
fucking stop already. there are no paralells, it has nothing in common with DHI or DHP at all. stop trying to force BI on everyone, it makes you look like a retard who only owns one fragrance

>>17132844
I probably own atleast Bois Imperial, Ganymede and Kenzo Homme Intense

>>17132844
He is a shitposter who constantly suggests Bois imperial and Ganymede to poison the well with the goal of getting the general to decale that BI is shilled and get people to stop talking about it or recommending it. Stop giving him attention

>>17132840
>this image
Well it’s mostly because of fragrantica retard influenced by the fact that BI is lists as unisex and DH as masculine. Imo the former is more masculine out of the two but both can be worn by the right kind of woman

>>17132848
I’m glad that I’m not the only one seeing it through all his reccs of BI at random situations. I like it a lot but it’s not for everyone. But I wouldn’t be too worried about him “poisoning the well” too much. It’s a fucking solid fragrance that will defend itself. Just look how it gets exponentially more popular and talked about everywhere

>>17132848
>>17132864
Sounds like samefagging

>>17132867
Nope

Layering BI with platinum egoiste smells like some sort of chemical cleaner.

>>17132911
That's due to the turpentine/varnish smell of BI. Just use PE only.

Where do you get Floris samples?
Am I going to have to blind each bottle?

>>17132926
They sell sample sets on their website

>>17132928
Oh shit I did not see it was a set thing, I was just trying to buy individual ones
Thanks

>>17132930
Sure, have you bought anything from them yet? How is it?

>>17131846
Yeah I agree, picked up EdP because it's greener

>>17132655
So I ended up going with JPG Le Male for my first one. It seemed like a safe bet, and I'm looking forward to trying some other in the future.

Appreciate the help!

>>17132933
Nah not yet

>>17132941
retard, you are supposed to try them on forst at the store, Le Male is found in any parfumerie...
But yeah don't worry, Le Male is gay as fuck, very sweet, you and your dates will like it.

>>17132946
I went to the store!

>>17132956
oh, my bad.
Did you buy it there? If so, next time you can order it online and save up some money, as with anything physical stores almost always overprice their stuff.

>>17132575
Strictly speaking, Tobacolor is not part of the Privée line. That honey note is way too fucking sweet and cloying even in the winter. Fève is up there, but Oud Ispahan is my pick.

Patchouli Kings rise UP

>>17132989
Best 2hu

>>17132369
Could just be me, I didn't give it any chance. For smoky I would try Hiram Green Hyde or Burning Barbershop, or any number of incense ones.

They're generous in their 8 samples (and 2 additional freebies), but I'm struggling to find 8 that I'd recommend trying.

>>17132844
Dior homo is the gayest fragrance ever. The iris note smells like lipstick. You will smell like you’re wearing lipstick. Gay faggots wear lipstick. Gay faggots smell like Dior homo.Sotd Guerlain imperiale. Very refreshing and nice in high heat.

Thoughts on TF Ebene Fume? Smelled nice in the bottle but I didn't try on skin

>>17132989
>Patchouli Kings rise UP

>>17133033
Dior ferifnheir but overpriced and not as snice

Is Prada L’Homme safe to blind huy? The notes look nice.

>>17132965
>as with anything physical stores almost always overprice their stuff.
They're not necessarily overpriced, it's just that they can't keep up with online stores in terms of competitiveness, as those are able to generate much higher turnover with fewer expenses. I don't say buy all your perfume physically, but making use of customer services unique to physical stores (sampling frags, taking advice, etc.) and THEN going ahead and buying online is absolutely cancerous behavior. Lady at my local perfume store even went through the trouble of getting me a decant of Fahrenheit Parfum because their store didn't have a tester in stock, I got it next time I went there, no questions asked. Now of course I won't consider buying it online even if it's ten bucks cheaper there, at least that's my attitude.

>>17133039
If you like the idea of an expensive luxury soap smell you should be good 2 go
However I'm contractually obligated to tell you to sample everything before buying to stay in compliance with /frag/ rules

>>17133043
>sample everything before buying to stay in compliance with /frag/ rules
I fucking wish; this general basically introduced me to the concept of blind buying. Before I came here, I didn't consider that anyone would even do that, let alone that it's a normal procedure apparently, with people talking about "safe blind buys" for frags you can test at literally every store.

>>17133040
I don't waste their time, just a few sprays of their testers that I don't even think they pay for.
And I sure as hell don't feel remorse for not giving my money to huge multinational corps like Douglas or Ici Paris (125 ml of CW is like 80 bucks at the latter lmao). The employees will get their checks regardless of me not buying there.
And it's way over just 10 bucks most of the times.
Oh and btw, they don't ever give us decants in Europe, I don't even think they do after you buy something. Even the cheapest online store I buy from does.
All they do is ask you if you need help and stand there looking at you like you are gonna grab a bottle and bolt once you politely decline.
They can go fuck themselves and adapt to the market.
Just asking, but aren't you burgers always so vocal about "costumers rights" and "muh free market"?

>>17133052
I have to drive 60 minutes to some new money Arab flashy trash department store to sample fragrances.

>>17133035
>Pepper Intense
Thanks for the laugh, fren.

>>17133066
Dunno man, maybe I just have that romanticized idea of supporting local businesses, but you're right, most of it is already a multinational conglomerate to begin with.
Here they give out 3-4 samples with every full bottle purchase (mostly shit you don't want, but with some charisma you can easily ask for a specific one), and everytime I asked to test a fragrance they had in stock (but without tester), they procured a sample somehow. Pretty good service most of the time. Also Europe.

>>17133039
No. I bought a decant and I liked it at first, but the drydown disappointed me a bit. Im not sure if I'd buy an entire bottle.
Its nice though, at least no one is going to hate it.

>>17132704
I got my first compliment from wearing Y EdP, so I'm definitely gonna wear it more.

Does BI really get compliments or is that bullshit from the resident shill? It doesn't seem like a very mass pleasing generic masculine frag

>>17133263
The latter.

>>17133263
>Does BI really get compliments
Seems so. I've only had my older brother compliment it, then later again (same day) and asking what it was.

>>17132941
Based decision. Le Male is very good and a perfect allrounder. You obviously should have tested it before, but for what it is, it's a good fragrance. I'd say it's my most complimented fragrance, but that's just a matter of the time I've been wearing it, since it also was my first fragrance.

>>17133039
Technically, safe blind-buys don't exist. Prada L'Homme is a good frag, but not necessarily for everyone. If you have any similar frags, you might try a blind-buy, but if you've just picked it out as your first purchase, try and find it at a store first.

>>17133040
I absolutely do test at stores and then buy online. It's not my fault the big frag houses don't offer samples for cheap. I'd love to wear fragrances for a day or two before I decide whether or not I want a bottle, and stores are the second best thing to that. Niche houses get that right, so it can't be that hard.
There are so many frags I want to buy a sample of because I can't find them at a store just to test them, but it's not possible.

>>17133035

Anyone tried the Azzaro line after the reformulation?

>>17133454

>>17133454
Just buy Eucris and you never think about reformulations again.

>>17133599
it's shit

lots of other good frags out there. if you want this kind of subtle, inoffensive everyday scent Dior Homme 2020 or Hermes H24 will have you smelling all day

>3 years ago I blind buy Body Kouros because of fake rumours it was discontinued.

I have like 70ml left and my batch is July 2014.
Do I hold onto it?

>>17133618
Is it good? Do you have the glass bottle version with the weird nub on the bottom or the later bottle version that is the same as the regular kouros bottles?

>>17133621
I have the regular kouros version.
It's a nice fresh menthol cigar smell on my skin, but not for everybody and I couldn't find a 5ml decant at a reasonable price, hence the blind buy

>>17133611
>continue to vote Democrat

Kek, what a retard. Left & right won't change things. Voting right makes you an ignorant faggot like someone who votes left.
Also stop wearing Sauvage.

>>17133618
>Do I hold onto it?
I'd hold onto it. you'll probably be able to sell it for 2 or 3x the original price once the supply dries out

>>17133625
thank you rabbi, you truly are my greatest ally

Need one more summer frag rec for my rotation, currently my niche rotation is Philosykos EDP (Fig), I Don't Know What (ISO-E super frag), and Un air de Bretagne (Citrus aquatic). Don't mind if it's either designer niche. Cheers anons.

There’s a few reason, the first was the end of slavery and integration of blacks into America. The second was allowing blacks and women to vote. The third is the mass migration of non whites into America.

While for Sauvage and BdC the hate is deserved, for BI undeserved. Name a better nice smelling woody fragrance in the niche area with outstanding performance.
Not "woody" in pleb tier BdC meme, but really authentic woody like someone would expect in niche fragrances.

Kenzo Homme EDT Intense smells like watered down ketchup

Thoughts on Oud Minerale?

>>17132704
L'homme was one of the first fragrances I found that I really liked.
Bought a 40ml now I barely use it.
But the situations where I would wear it dont really come up so often, I wear it maybe once a month.
For me it projects for about 3 hours and over all only lasts about 5, after the projection you can still kind of smell it but its not really that strong on the skin.
Deffo a good fragrance though.

>>17133931

Btw Imaginary Authors vials are really good quality. I have mine here probably for about a year and it doesn't seem that there has been any evaporation at all.

>>17134045
Congratulations anon you have done extremely well with your frag buys so far. Better than 90% of peoples first couple frags.
Some things to keep in mind, a 100ml bottle is like one thousand sprays. Sometimes a bit less with those real cannon sprayers. So think about how long it would take you to finish what you have. Basically at this point you should be thinking about what purpose each frag fills and making sure to not buy duplicates that cover the same use case. I would suggest slowing down and making a couple $30-$40 sample orders. You have some of the better modern designer frags on the market so you should think about trying to explore some of the smaller more indy and niche brands, and sample a lot to try and get a feel for how your tastes are developing before you buy more bottles.
