Asking you guys for some recs

Any ideas for a designer priced scent for a 20-something male who wants to smell good but isn't very manly?
What I mean by that is, I don't like wearing frags like Eros, Aventus or Antaeus because I don't pay attention to coming off as masculine and I'm not the assertive type. I'm more of a gentle and easy to get along with kind of guy but I still want a good frag, do any of you have some ideas?

Would also like something wearable all year round if possible, or at least one summer option and one winter option

I got memed into buying pic related as my first frag by this thread and I actually like it, although it's not great for hot weather. But maybe something with the same kind of vibe would be nice? Any suggestions are appreciated anyway, I'm open to whatever

>>17134069

The bartender at a bar I frequent has started wearing Sauvage.
How the fuck do I escape this fucking piece of shit frag.

When is buying frags a Problem?

Allredy have

Dioar Sauvage Elexir
yves laurent bleu electrique
Channel allure homme Sport Eau Extreme

evrything started with a 15e giftcard from my mother 3 Months ago

Which bentley infinite is best?

>>17134069
not quite sure why you would associate Eros with masculinity

anyway:
Bois Imperial, Hermann A Mes Cotes, Le Cri de la Lumière, Korrigan (Lubin)

>>17134069
oh yeah: Naomi Goodsir's Nuit de Bakelite, that and Hermann are vastly underrated

>>17134067
I bought it back in 2018 when I was still in high school and was new to fragrances. The main problem is the lemon pledge opening, and people usually love it, it's mainly us enthusiasts that don't like it.
If my bottle would break I'd probably use YSL L'Homme as a daily driver.

>>17134072
Doesn't Abercrombie make loud mass pleasers or am I just thinking of the one they sprayed in their stores
>>17134099
It's a loud sweet frag that's like the typical clubbing scent I guess
None of those seem designer priced aside from Bois imperial but I guess I can try getting samples first. Thanks. I like Hermann's name, it seems interesting, are all those frags fine for year-round wear?

>>17134106
You're thinking of Fierce which is/was their flagship fragrance.

sorry I had missed your 'designer' part; Hermann and BI are relatively cheap out of those two

>are all those frags fine for year-round wear?
BI, Nuit de Bakelite and Hermann are all year-around, Le Cri and Korrigan a little more suitable for colder months

Not at that point, by far. Good choices, though, I own all 3 as well.

>>17134099
>>17134114
>BI
Is this stuff really so versatile, I see someone recommend it literally every time anyone asks for a recommendation

>>17134129
define versatility; does it suite every possible occasion? I wear it day-to-day when going out, to the uni and work and it would be hard to find it offensive
is it wearable all around the year? yeah, easily, but I prefer ambers in the autumn and in the winter

>>17134129
No. It's great for shopping at IKEA, because it's basically "fragrance camo". You'll smell like the furniture. It's a unique fragrance, for sure, but it leaves me completely neutral and my gf hates it (for example).
So for the recommendations, it's like one guy posing as three making the recommendation all the time. I got duped into buying the 10 mL, should have bought the sample set. And that is what I would recommend - the full Essential Parfums sample set. Affordable and comes with a discount if you decide to purchase a full bottle. Don't make the mistake I made and buy BI only. It might not be for you.

>>17134140
what fragrances do you like?
>I got duped into buying the 10 mL
isn't the 10ml like 20 euros? I wouldn't consider that a big loss

Are all CDG fragrances just enormous memes? Pic related's marketing tries so hard with the whole "catholic church scent". Bought a sample, smelled just like smarties. Been in and out of catholic churches my whole life and not one has smelled like it. All I get us the scent of crushed smarties

>>17134140
>it's like one guy posing as three making the recommendation all the time
The very definition of a shill, which the last time I checked is against the rules.

>>17134058
PLEASE recommend me a palo santo-type fragrance, but not santal 33 or clones of it. basically sandalwood-esque but not really javanol. i like woodmaxxing frags.

>>17134151
Well, yes, but I should have bought the sample set. I still want to buy it, I'm always looking for nice new frags and sample sets, and it would have set me back the same amount. I might have even gotten a full bottle of one of the other frags. So basically I have to spend at least double now, which could have also been another bottle of Cool Water.

>>17134159
And how exactly would someone enforce that or even find that out?
I could pose as 3 people with different IPs right now, or 4 if I bothered to log into the work VPN. People should just buy the sample set and figure out if they like it at all, which I why I recommend that.

What are the top 5 best tobacco scents?

>>17134069
I think a winter fragnance for you might be "by the fireplace" by maison martin margiela.

A masculine guy could wear it of course, but it is so unisex and cozy. Nothing oozes gentle and easy to get along with more than this.

Why does every fragrance YouTuber besides Jeremy look like a shitty PUA or freak?

>>17134204
why are you watching fragrance youtubers?

>>17134217
i wanted to see what they said about bois imperial

>>17134069
I'd recommend some more florals if you liked the dreamer:
Hermes H24 (unique, kind of fruity-floral with a "freshly ironed clothing" note. soft, pleasant and pretty much unisex)
Dior Homme Intense / Original / Parfum (beautiful floral iris frags. Original is the most "year round", but most people prefer the stronger, sweeter, darker flankers)
Prada L'Homme (a more soapy and clean iris frag)
Rochas Moustache EDP (vanilla, rose, slightly boozy, slight pepper. very likable, unisex frag)
Cartier Declaration D'un Soir (fresh rose with the stem and leaves + some spices and a bit of sandalwood)

>>17134081
three bottles is okay, but slow down and take your time or you'll end up with 20

>>17134129
no, someone is just forcing it as a weird trolling attempt. there are some people here who like the frag, but if you see several replies saying "bois imperial" no matter the question, just ignore

>>17134155
weird, I did get very churchy, austere incense. maybe where you're from they use different incense or something?

>>17134204
Jeremy also looks like a freak recently
The Perfume Guy is decent, that asian guy who keeps changing his channel name is okay too
but the smaller youtubers like Ramsey and Wafts are probably the best if you're really into frags and want some serious autism

>>17134155
Go with Cardinal or Montale Full Incense instead.
Also Cdg Garage or Tar are really good. The only brand that fulfills my taste for mechanical scents.
If you wanna have some generic citruses it's probably not your brand.

>>17134290
>20 years
At my current rate I need around 4 bottles per year, so it would be 5 years. Also, have you seen the prices at which you can sell discontinued designers? Good investment.

>>17134129
It is. Saw dusty woody fresh and peppery, smells like an enjoyable niche at a good price.
Ganymede takes that DNA to a new level, but it's expensive.
Kenzo Intense adds fresh peppery gherkins to the Akigalawood.
Imagine selling Invictus clones before, than Quentin Bisch took over and Kenzo fragrances can compete with respected brands.

kind of a hypebeast selection. not bad frags, but you should learn not to listen to the hype before it's too late

>>17134058
How is maison margiela not anywhere on the stickies. Literally the single best unisex perfume

>>17134129

>>17134247
Florals are nice, the Dreamer has a great opening and drydown and if there's something exactly like it but less heavy and powdery, more light so it's suitable for summer, that would be ideal
Apparently DHO is discontinued now?
>>17134193
I checked out the brand's lineup, are the scents usually accurate to their name since they seem to be going for a kind of minimalist "the exact name of the frag is what it smells like" kind of marketing

has anyone had any experience with this one? maybe it is childish of me but im at the point where i kind of want to find something that is not all too well known/popular, im kind of tired of smelling the way a lot of pajeets and muslims smell around here, please give me recommendations. so far ive been looking at Nefs by nishane and Sundowner by Tauer Perfumes

>>17134320
>Apparently DHO is discontinued now?
really? that's too bad
The Dreamer is pretty unique, there's not much else like it. I guess Prada L'Homme is a bit like an airier version without the tobacco. it's very powdery though

>>17134074
Its a good frag thats why its everywhere
You think its a piece of shit because your brain goes popular = bad

>>17134315
ah yes, the famous fragrance maison margiela

>>17134114
>>17134099

>>17134344
Nothing says DHO is discontinued like Dior selling it on their website.

>>17134129
Unironically it is very versatile but it shows up here so often because of a mix of fans, psychofans and a guy trolling. I for one enjoy it a lot but recommend to sample it first

>>17134315
It’s the definition of a mud designer house pretending to be niche. Maybe r/fragrance would be more up to your speed

>>17134357
>mud

>>17134315
lmao
there is one margiela frag in the flowchart actually. a bit of a meme house though, it's not worth paying Chanel prices for a L'Oreal frag that might get reformulated at random
better to buy from Etat Libre d'Orange if you want a quirky brand with minimalist bottles, they have way more interesting scents

>>17134058
for me it's terre d'hermes.
but I've been using it for like 10 years, so I'm ready to pick up another sent.
but highly recommended, a woman magnet.

>>17134366
forgot picrel

>>17134366
yeah, it's pretty based. interesting, versatile, masculine and performs really well (at least the formulation I have does)
I recommend Tom Ford Grey Vetiver or Beau de Jour. they're similar classically styled yet modernized scents, masculine and elegant. Grey Vetiver especially, since it's in a the same "citrus vetiver" genre as Terre. Chanel Platinum Egoiste is also a good choice if you want a refreshing herbal scent

>>17134069
>isn't very manly
>I don't pay attention to coming off as masculine and I'm not the assertive type

Ahhh so you're a faggot, buy black opium

>>17134378
>>17134372
forgot about Guerlain Homme and Homme l'eau Boisee, that's also a good "citrus vetiver" option

>>17134320
>I checked out the brand's lineup, are the scents usually accurate to their name since they seem to be going for a kind of minimalist "the exact name of the frag is what it smells like" kind of marketing

I only really spent time with by the fireplace. But you can smell what they are trying to get at. It isn't actually a smokey smell, but they have something in it that kinda hints at smoke. You have like a spicy vanilla that helps. It is very pleasant. It is also reasonably popular. A large perfumer near you might have it. A few years ago it was on everyone's top list.

>>17134378
>>17134381
thanks anon! definitely going to try them out

>>17134155
i think you're fixated on the sweet and powdery notes. it does smell like smarties when i focus in on that thought specifically but it comes of as stone when i stop thinking about it. i think it's more soapy and sweet than it needs to be but it definitely reminds me of a catholic church i used to go to down the street from where i live.

>>17134058

I want a longer lasting liquid version of this. Fresh water/Fern/Ozone smell.

Any recommendations?

>>17134467
It's a cool warer clone anon

>>17134129
Tbh it’s a very versatile, modern, compliment getting and unique scent all at the same time. Being more affordable than most designer fragrances makes it almost a no-brainer recommendation for most 20-40 guys coming here. It’s probably the best /frag/ shill I’ve learned about other than Encre Noire, JEP Neroli Intense and other cheapies.

>>17134495
Ah yes and Eau Sauvage (especially Parfum) is also something that I would never bother with if not shills in this thread

Guerlain vetiver anon

>>17134349
Not that anon. Sauvage and Aventus and everything with the same DNA make me nauseous - like Prada Luna Rossa Carbon and Cedrat Boise. And this is coming from someone who's used to overspraying Beach Hut and Etruscan Water.

>>17134594
Reading the reviews of trex and knowing what i do about fragrantica im guessing it's like a mild sweetened toned down for modern tastes version of Red for Men Giorgio Beverly Hills or some other equally unremarkable 80s frag

>>17134607
T-rex is a barbecue pit in a field of flowers with burning tires in it.

any good frags in the azzaro chrome line?

Finally got around to smelling Fahrenheit EDT in a local department store and immediately fell in love. I can see what people mean by the gasoline smell, but I didn't really get all that on my skin. Wanted to get a 50ml, but of course they didnt have one, only a 100ml. Dior hasn't missed yet with me, and I have the most of their frags in my collection by far.

>>17134623
Azzaro chrome, preferably a bottle from around when it was released
https://www.ebay.com/itm/125409135366

>>17134607
Nah, for once people weren't exaggerating. I have a sample and I genuinely scared to try it on skin.

>>17134647
Fahrenheit is an amazing scent still, it's just hard to completely disregard the whole hype around it, based on it being "le manly fragrance for manly people such as myself". If you're not even 30 like me, you start having doubts if you can ever "pull it off", which is most of the time a pretty stupid way of thinking, if you have a bare minimum of confidence that is. In the end you'd be missing out on a great and universally well-received fragrance (which really isn't even THAT harsh and "manly"), simply because some random stranger told you not to wear it.

>>17134733
Lol, yeah i looked at the reviews on basenotes which im mote willing to trust, sounds intense.

Which one of these two should I get for regular wear around the office? My current go-to's are Dylan Blue and Sailing Day. Wanted to add another into the mix but unsure about which of these two to choose from.

>>17134752
neither of those are good for the office. get mont blanc explorer.

I've been wearin Y Eau Fraiche this summer and it's so good

Are you guys picking anything up from the Nordstrom anniversary sale? Is there anything worth picking up? I'm thinking of getting the MFK travel pack.

https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/anniversary-sale/beauty-exclusives/fragrance?breadcrumb=Home%2FAnniversary%20Sale%2FBeauty%20Exclusives%2FFragrance

>>17134460
Only Royal Oud.

>>17134886
i usually go into the store rather than shop online and buy new shoes for 50% off and maybe a suit or 2 and some sweaters and shirts and trousers and a coat

you can get all last season's stuff for half off, assuming it is still in stock

>>17134460
The ghost perfumer book is the best Creed related thing in the last years

>>17134607
kek, every time I've read reviews about something going z0mg it's so manly it was always a letdown

>>17134182
not really an answer but I just wanted to say (again since I have in the past) that the smell of eau sauvage and cigarette smoke (from nice cigarettes, not like some shitty newports) on my skin was one of the best scents I've ever smelled

>>17134352
lol

>>17134886
How long does the sale last?

>>17134607
Smelled it at a niche store, it's possibly the most offensively high performing fragrance I've smelled. It's also bad. Fun to sample as a novelty but I don't recommend buying it at all.

>>17134603
Pictures like this are so stupid, I don't understand why people cope this hard about Aventus. Out of all of my fragrances, none of them generate unsolicited positive attention from women like Aventus. Every woman I've gone on a date with while wearing it has mentioned how shockingly good I smell. No guy has ever mentioned me wearing it either. Are poorfags really this buttblasted?

>>17134752
Either of those will work fine, Le Male will be lower profile as its DNA is more familiar to people. YSL Y EDP will likely get more attention from women if that's what you're after.

>>17134460
Aventus is my favorite fragrance. Works in 100% of scenarios and temperatures, and it appeals to literally all women. It's too expensive, and I don't care about the branding and all that, but I don't regret buying it at all.

>>17134603
I second this.
I can't stand the Sauvage EdT, it just doesn't smell good to me. The synthetic pepper note lasts forever and is disgusting. Aventus is just sweet and sour the whole way through, and while there are other facets to it, it's mostly just sweet and sour. I wouldn't want to smell like that. I say that as someone who has bought many crowdpleasing designers and who shills anything else from Dior in these threads.

>>17134752
Both would make good office frags. Personally, I'd prefer Le Male, but you should just try to test these at a store.

>>17135004
I've gotten compliments on dates during the time where I was wearing the Axe Dark Temptation EdT. This is mostly just a matter of whether they can smell you or not, and for most fragrances, people tend to underspray (especially designers). The smell itself doesn't matter as long as it doesn't smell bad.

>>17134380
I'm heterosexual actually

what do you guys think of D&G Pour Homme? I tried it at the mall and I was pretty impressed. I might try it again and then decide if I want to buy it. I'm curious what you all think.

Holy shit I have never been so disappointed in a blind buy
Profumo smells like the most generic shit imaginable, sure I expected a crowd pleaser but this is beyond that, it's the smell of your average Sephora in a bottle
JeP Acqua literally smells like Nivea conditioner, just hand cream, that's it. Fuck the faggots who claimed this had any similarity at all to Kenzo 1991.
Cool Water Intense is the best one of the three, smells like coconut with a hint of mandarin and sunscreen, strong summer vacation vibes. But it's nothing special either.

>>17135068
But at least CW Intense has insane performance. That's rare enough with cheap fragrances like that. Perfect for the beach on a day where you plan to hang out at the bar instead of going swimming.

Also just send Profumo back and claim that the performance is lackluster (product defective).

>>17135085
I want to send both Profumo and Acqua back, I know I won't use the latter anyway

>>17135068
>Profumo smells like the most generic shit imaginable
yep, just like 99% of aquatics
don't fall for the Kenzo EDP shilling either, it's also a snoozefest

>>17135089
>just like 99% of aquatics
What's the 1%?

>>17135093
Oud Minerale and Sel Marin, if that one shill is to be believed (haven't smelled them)
but the only fragrance with aquatic notes I've liked so far was Encre Noire Sport. gotta get a sample of Narcisso Rodriguez for Him too at some point

>>17135089
Never shilled for the Edp but the Kenzo Homme Intense is indeed good.
But yeah, Profumo smells like any other aquatic shit out there(Jeremy got shit taste IMO).
TF Oud Minerale or Amouroud Wet Stone, Every storm a Serenade might be good alternatives.

>>17134594
Really based, my bro. Receiving my bottle of Rundholz Mars2022 today. Too dark to wear it with white clothes, it might be also very smoky, but i wear it anyway in the high heat.
Wanna try out T-Rex too.
Teach them fruity bois a lesson.

What's your guys opinion on Mauboussin pour lui in black?

>>17135068
imagine not sampling fucking Profumo. go outside, incel.
>JeP Acqua
just go with neroli intense, why buy such a cheapie acquatic freshie when you don't need it, don't listen to the Kenzo shills (the same 2 people who spams BI).

Can you elaborate on CWI? How strong is the coconut? How long does the coconut last? And test the performance too pls

This is fucking weird, I smelled the wrist I had sprayed JeP Acqua on again and it seems to have dried down into a floral aquatic that's actually not bad. Very unisex, not reminiscient of the sea but more like a lake or pond in the summer, it's pretty good and more floral than aquatic imo.
But I already dropped off the package at the post office. lmao
Profumo on the other hand is still boring as shit after having dried down
>>17135103
Yeah everyone seems to love Heeley
>>17135138
>going to fucking sephora in the middle of the city when it's 32°C outside
Fuck off faggot.
>neroli intense
I'll buy it eventually. I bought Acqua because I thought I wanted to add aquatics to my collection since I live by the sea and all but in the end I don't really need them. I sampled the Kenzo frags and wasn't impressed but they're still better than Profumo.
By the way the performance on Profumo is fucking dogshit holy fuck, it took three sprays on my wrist for me to start smelling anything more than a faint aquatic and even now I barely get the incense.
>How strong is the coconut
It seems to be the base of the perfume. Very sunscreen-y vibe to me, right now the mandarin has gone away and I'm left with a creamy coconut with a very slight hint of citrusy freshness. I'll get back to you on the performance later, I think the anon who said it was beast mode exaggerated a bit, it doesn't project too much

>>17135093
Profumum Roma Acqua di Sale, Sarah Baker Atlante, Kerosene Walk The Sea

>>17135150
>going to fucking sephora in the middle of the city when it's 32°C outside
LMAOOO CONFIRMED LARDASS
Try 40 °C.
I told you profumo is nothing special, doesn't remind me of the sea at all, more like a worse Dylan Blue. If you like incense and honestly a beast performance, go for DB. Not very blue or aquatic, sweeter, but better on everything else.
You would have done better with the OG ADG EDT imo if you want a something to wear at the beach.
and thanks. I will eventually buy one between Clown Water or Clown Water Intense, right now I'm leaning towards the OG, even though it's underwhelming in terms of performance.

>>17135169
I weigh 65 kg, nigger
>Dylan Blue
I wasn't looking for an incense frag specifically, just for an oceanic aquatic with some longevity, but it seems that all the good ones are niche. Kenzo, Profumo and all the others usually recommended designer aquatics are one dimensional as fuck and very unimpressive, everyone shilled Profumo as this kind of powerful marine frag but it's just yet another mass pleasing freshie. Acqua is the first interesting one I've smelled but as I said it's more floral and the aquatic notes take a back seat
>between Clown Water or Clown Water Intense
Honestly, CW is superior. First off, it's more versatile, as I couldn't see myself wearing intense if it's not hot and sunny outside, it's a quintessential summer scent. The longevity seems decent but I think CW's shitty performance is overblown, I wore five sprays of CW two days ago and could still smell it on me three hours later. Of course if you want strong projection you'll need to apply a lot and reapply regularly but it's cheap enough that I don't think this is an issue.

>>17135150
>I sampled the Kenzo frags and wasn't impressed but they're still better than Profumo.

The Kenzo Incense one will raise in popularity. Fresh niche at good price. Cucks most aquatics one the market in the designer segment.

>>17135150
>I sampled the Kenzo frags and wasn't impressed but they're still better than Profumo.

The Kenzo Intense one will raise in popularity. Fresh niche at good price. Cucks most aquatics one the market in the designer segment.

>>17135176
CWI is synthetic sweet take on Invictus.
CW only worth flankers are Ocean extreme, Aquaman edition.

>>17135190
For me, it's too sweet.
>Cucks most aquatics
Not too impressive a feat apparently. Designer aquatics are pretty much a static, synthetic marine note made even more generic by the addition of typical "compliment getter" fruity/sweet notes (or incense in the case of Profumo), so you end up with just a mundane masculine frag with a fresh edge. I wish there were other options for aquatics than "generic designer shit that all smells the same" and "niche scent that literally smells like sea water"
>>17135192
Invictus is already synthetic and sweet

>>17135150
>it doesn't project too much
Damn son, I'm filling rooms with it. It's even long-lasting on top. It becomes insane when you heat up and I'm trying not to wear it on the days where I'll hit the gym after work, because it's still too much. This is according to someone who I trust, I only rate the longevity.
Who knows, maybe it's skin chemistry, as my skin tends to "eat" some of those proclaimed "beast mode" frags (which are somehow always made by L'Oreal) and easily cranks up others to 11.

>>17135169
If I had to decide between CW and CWI I'd get CW.
As much as I love CWI, I mostly love it for the price/performance as well as not being a bad fragrance by itself. It's still a loud and sweet crowdpleaser-type fragrance and has nothing to do with the OG. The OG is a better fragrance and probably more versatile.

>>17135193
>Invictus is already synthetic and sweet

Amp up the synthetic notes and you'll get CWI. Not really coconutty in a photorealistic sense.

>>17135194
Surely skin chemistry is a factor, yeah. Also, I only sprayed it once on my forearm, I think two sprays on the neck would have a different effect.
>>17135197
>Not really coconutty in a photorealistic sense.
No, it's more sunscreen-y as I said above.
I've never smelled photorealistic coconut in a frag, even Virgin Island Water had something in there that felt like some kind of coconut-flavored drink and not real coconut water. Like piña colada sweetness or something.

>>17135193
Overall agree about how aquatics mostly are. Only good alternatives are niche/expensive.

>>17135176
I gotta be honest with you, I doubt the niche takes on aquatics will be any different.
Now I don't have any experience with those because I pretty much dodge all aquatics, but if Profumo is the best aquatic designer houses can come up with, I doubt that niche houses can successfully build on aquatic notes, either. There are so many other frags to sample first that it's not necessary for me to branch into niche aquatics yet.

>>17135203
>Only good alternatives are niche/expensive.
Even then is there something that strays from the usual "photorealistic depiction of sea water"?

What are some frags with v a p o r w a v e vibes

>>17135205
Did you ever smelled every storm a Serenade?

>>17135205
>I pretty much dodge all aquatics
Which scent families do you focus on? I wish I lived in a cold place so I could get into gourmands, amber and heavier scents in general but I need to stick to things that are fresh or at least wearable in warm weather, otherwise I'll buy shit that I'll only be able to wear two months out of the whole year.

>>17135037
it's pretty good, but i think i like prada amber ph more

>>17135193
>>17135176
100% agree on aquatics being boring bullshit. maybe some niche scent will change my mind one day, but so far it's all been dreadfully boring

just dropped by a sephora btw and tried out whatever I felt like. some notes:
>Terre D'Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver Hermès
a nice classic citrus vetiver scent. cheaper than Grey Vetiver, less old school than Guerlain Vetiver. not super original compared to the EDT, but a good option at that price
>Tom Ford For Men
an underrated release. complex, elegant citrus with some ginger, tobacco and other stuff. mediocre performance but also seems to be the cheapest tom ford frag. quite nice
>Hermes H24
something keeps drawing me back to this. I've never smelled anything quite like it. green melon, unripe banana? metallic? the smell of clean clothes? hot summer air over a meadow with dried out grass? minimalist and futuristic, as the packaging would suggest. might cop a decant or small bottle

>>17135210
As I said, I couldn't find anything aquatic from a designer house that I liked, so I dodged the genre during further sampling. I'll probably add something to a future sampling round, but right now, the backlog is full with other stuff.

>>17135213
Mostly fougeres, sometimes chypres, but I dabble in everything. You should find some fougeres, many of them can work in warmer weather.

>>17135221
>fougeres
I like CW and GIT but haven't really explored anything else, guess that's the next stop

>>17135213
>>17135231
yeah, definitely try fougeres, chypres and citrus vetivers if you're not content with all the boring aquatics and blue scents that pass for warm weather scents nowadays
platinum egoiste, drakkar noir and beau de jour are easy to find at stores and sample, they are a good intro into fougeres

>>17135233
Thanks, what about florals and woods?

>>17135235
cartier declaration d'un soir, hermes h24 and jeanne en provence neroli intense for warm weather florals

These are my aquatics.Sotd azzurra pour homme

Honestly, I have never smelled something even remotely close to the sea. All those, "marine notes", "acquatics", have those parfumers ever been to the beach, let alone the open sea? The sea never smells sweet, like most scents sold as "marine" do. Nor it does smell citrusy, although it is arguably closer to it than sweet (and more pleasant too).
The main accord is salt and drying seaweed, it's harsh sometimes but the latter accord can just be toned down. Salt must be one of the cheapest ingredient too, yet no "marine frag I smelled was in any way salty.

Fucking mass-pleasing amateurs.

>>17135292
Something less cheap?

>>17135296
Exactly. Supposedly some scents like Megamare smell like the actual sea, none of that slightly sweet ozonic bullshit

>>17135298
Hermes h24

>>17135208
versace the dreamer

>>17135296
do you honestly think they put real salt into fragrances? what do you think salt smells like?

>>17135313
I smelled it a couple days ago
What makes you say that? It's more of an office scent

>>17135322
It smells futuristic, exiting, different, one of the best designer releases in years. I know it doesnt share any notes really but it makes me think of cool water from the future

Got a few samples this weekend. Any of you try this one? It's interesting, a bit odd. I kind of like it.
A metal pitcher left out in the rain. Ground black pepper and a bit of incense as well.
3 sprays and its filling the room.

>>17135303
I keep getting their ads on fb, I guess cause I'm italian
>>17135298
Vaporwave is cheap af, literally just sampling and/or outright slow+reverb of whole songs.
I think you should ask for something more floral, for the light pink vibe, maybe something with rose and unisex?
>>17135319
this is very appropriate.

Midnight in Paris too but I wouldn't pay 100> bucks for a discontinued cheapie, no metter how good.
>>17135320
Salt smells like salt. Hair wet with salt water smells salty when they dry down. And again, you can smell salt from sea water so yes. They honestly could put some actual marine water in the frag and get away with it, I'm sure it would work.
>>17135326
Didn't smell that exciting to me, I'll try it on skin next time.

>>17135326
I agree it's a good release, but vaporwave is supposed to be nostalgic, not futuristic
I'd like to see what flankers Hermes releases for H24 though. the original is unique but so minimalistic and transparent that it's simply begging for some flanker with more depth IMO

>>17135330
What's the difference between "mineral" notes and aquatic notes

>>17134058
any reccs for a body wash type designer fragrance that has zero similarity to sauvage?

>>17134151
Thats twice what I make in a day

>>17135349
Vaporwave is both nostalgic and futuristic, which is what makes it so dreamlike
It's nostalgia for something that never really existed but that everyone can feel nonetheless, it's ethereal and aquatic but in the manmade sense, not the natural sense: swimming pools lit up in blue, pink and violet, greek columns and statues, empty lobbys, a feeling of luxury and mystery but also emptiness and melancholy. Like you're in a five-star hotel in Miami but you're the only guest and the staff is nowhere to be found
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPxLTD9gbh4

>>17135360
maybe Luna Rossa?

>>17135334
>something with rose
Meh, aren't there more interesting floral scents for men than rose?
>this is very appropriate
Am I the only one who thinks it smells cheap

>>17134607
It is kinda interesting. I imagine this is how the mongol hordes sacking baghdad smelled like. Some flowers, some intense and burning wood. I wouldn't wear it, but I don't dislike it. It is worth a sample.

I was recommended this as an animalic fragrance, and it has a little animalic feel to it as well. That is the mongol horde note.

>>17135370
not bad, although it's a little dated now

>>17135376
>Am I the only one who thinks it smells cheap
it does a bit, but that synthetic quality only helps it be more vaporwave
and I mean, just look at that bottle...>>17134069

>>17135357
Ever sniffed a rock?

>>17135385
No.

>>17135386
Go find a couple and try it out

>>17135383
It does have the aesthetic I'll admit. It gets cloying easily though, more of a fall frag imho and vaporwave is inherently summery.

>>17134069
recently i tried Loewe 7 series and i loved it
check out the cobalt flanker

anyone tried this? supposedly a good alternative to Acqa di Sale for much, much cheaper

>>17135361
then you should probably either get a degree or find another hobby

>>17135037
That Max Forti guy said it was his signature scent for years and years and that the old version is better. I have it and like it, but may sell it since I end up wearing L'Homme YSL over it most of the time.

>>17135389
The dreamer isn't wearable in the summer?

>>17135296
Although I agree with you that most of the marine frags I've tried didn't smell like the sea at all, I found that Aqua Marine by Bulgari did the best job (didn't try a lot of marines though). It even smells a bit salty.

>>17135455
No, it's too powdery and heavy. I've been wondering about a warm weather alternative but TD is pretty unique

>>17135461
prada l'homme could be an okay alternative, has some of that "soapy iris + herbs"

This for the Gym

>>17135462
Iris works really well if you’re a faggot and like to smell like you’re wearing lipstick.

>>17135435
Bump

>>17135462

it's pretty powdery, but "airy" compared to The Dreamer and it does have some herbal notes to make it more clean and soapy

any flankers for AdG that don't smell anything like AdG?

Is Caron Pour Monsieur very masculine, or more unisex? Does it smell like an old man?
>>17135510
Absolu

>>17135513
>Pour Monsieur
ment pour un homme*, I mixed it up with chanel but I'm talking about caron

Thoughts on this cologne? I tried a sample of it, and thought it was pretty nice. Any second thoughts?

>>17135458
Have you compared it to the original bvlgari aqva? I’ve been tempted to buy the marine flanker because I like the original and wouldn’t mind something smelling more oceanic

>>17135515
I don’t think Caron pour homme smells like an old man. It’s mostly lavender and vanilla, some stringent alcohol and musk smell to the modern. The vintage is smoother and smells of higher quality. If you don’t want the vanilla and musk try the leau flanker. It’s citrus, lavender, vetiver and ambergris. Both are very nicf

>>17135519
I have Wanted by Night and it's really great.

>>17135543
I've probably tried the original once but can't remember what my impressions were. Maybe get a sample?
I've had a bottle of Amara which I've regrettably sold a couple months before it was discontinued.

>>17135519
I'm gonna be trying this out on Wednesday. Will post review then. For now I'm rocking Hermes d'orange vert concentre.

>>17135543
I might get the aqua marine just because the original seems to be sold out everywhere.

>>17135547
>stringent alcohol and musk
I don't like harsh scents, I'm looking for something smooth and I saw people on fragrantica (yeah I know) say Caron pour un homme was like that

>>17135573
The stringent alcohol is only in the modern formulation and only in the opening. The dry down is smooth. It’s all very natural smelling and worth sampling. Although it’s simple in composition it’s still very different than anything else you’ll find being produced today. It has a “niche” feel to it. It’s worth at least sampling. Sample the leau while you’re at it, that is even smoother.

>>17135584
I would sample but >>17135498
And I don't even think local stores have it anyway

>wear GIT

Is this supposed to be some insurmountable challenge that justifys not going?

>>17135613
Last time I went I didn't see Caron and they only had about a dozen brands, it's a small store. Hence why I asked about websites to cop samples

>>17135613
>>17135616
Also they don't give out samples there anyway so I have to spray my arms every time which 1. is annoying and 2. limits the number of frags I can try

>>17135618
>Also they don't give out samples there anyway so I have to spray my arms every time
Yes this is the same experience for anyone visiting a sephora in any country

>>17135599
Should have used an AXE against them. In Minecraft.

>>17135621
So you can see why it's inconvenient and why I'd rather buy samples

Seems fine, the websites that are frauds or selling fakes are almost always in eastern Europe or russia.

Pure Havane. Possibly the hottest day of the year expected in Germany.

>>17135861
Enjoy smelling offensively bad to other people I guess, but don't expect everyone to be as autistic as you are

>>17135862
It simply doesn't work that way and marketing has absolutely crept too deep into your mind to see the reality. Really, get a person around you and ask them what they think.

>>17135873
Yes, it does. Some notes are cloying in hot weather, others are refreshing. That's just how it works for the non-autistic brain, sorry

Antaeusbros, why is this still so popular, and what does it smell like?

>>17136256
>why is this still so popular,
It isint really, at least in the US you can only buy it on chanels website.
Maybe it's more popular in Europe.
Anyway it smells incredibly luxurious and expensive, castoreum, resins, rose, carnation, a soft impression of leather, drys down to a luxurious musk. Smells so well composed and is just a fantastic example of fine perfumery. I wear it at least a couple days a week, works for just about any time of year other than maybe heatwave days.
Insane that people are paying out that ass for "niche" arab basement sugar bombs when you can buy this for $90 for 100ml.

He's either a Chang or Pajeet

>>17134099
>>17134101
>>17134351
Still debating on whether I like this or not. I mean it wasn't love at first smell, but then again it's become a comforting scent that really doesn't want to leave and makes itself noticeable at all times, maybe even too much sometimes. Seems to be a polarizing frag, I can see how.

>>17136256
if you missed a chance to try this before it was discontinued, then you can check antaeus, to my nose it's quite similar
its mossy, herbal and classy, in my opinion wearing it daily defeats the point, its like tuxedo

>>17136281
Modern, that's one of the best parts it was reformulated a few years ago and done so lovingly and experlty.
My understanding is that it is pretty damn close to the vintage formulation with the main differences that the vintage has typically 80s powerhouse loud projection for half a day, while the modern one projects strongly for a few hours and then dies down to a more intimate fragrance.

>>17136197
That sounds gay as fuck. Are you trying to ruse me? I just came for some simple advice

.

>>17136103
I keep reading that Monsieur is a DARK patchouli but when I sampled it it's not even as dark as the reformulated TF Patchouli Absolu. It performs better though. Don't really pick up a lot of leather though, which works for me since it's not my favorite note.

>>17136128
Are you white?

>>17136305
>while the modern one projects strongly for a few hours
I wish, sadly no Chanel fragrance does that for me, and I still don't regret purchasing a full bottle of Egoiste because I love the scent of it so much. Pour Monsieur went literally unnoticeable after one or two hours, what do they put in there.

>>17134167
Tom Ford Ebene Fume

>>17136247
>>17135449
so I'm not crazy for liking it. I was surprised by how nice it was in the store and I enjoy fougeres. I could try the vintage but at this point I'm a bit tired of hunting stuff down. Maybe I'll get a huge bottle and then carry an atomizer on me at all times so the performance doesn't even have to matter.

>>17135217
Thanks anon, I'll check that one out when I can too

Give examples of your own fragrance-related autistic habits. I'll start

>I only wear Cool Water when near bodies of water. If I'm sailing, at a lake my family has a house in, or the beach.

/frag/ i need a good fougere, im starting to accumulate masculine chypres but i need a good fougere. Preferably something with actual oakmoss in it (if any even exist anymore), im aware of rogue perfumery but i would like some other options. Im looking for green, the more performance and longevity the better. Ideally something that has some dirty resins or animalic facets but im fine with something clean as well. Please no vanilla. What should i test out?

>>17136411
I don't get all the poofter hate for cool water. It's based and always works. At least you don't smell like candy

>>17134351

it's definitely not an easy fragrance and may be polarizing - also I think a big issue is that it's not very versatile. also I can see that it might get annoying with constant wearing if you'd like a 'signature fragrance'

keep sampling stuff and browsing fragrantica, I really recommend you to try out BI; though it might be a bit on the 'masculine' side by how you referenced some other fragrances, but it's definitely easy to wear and not cloying at all. not sure what else to recommend outside of the other bisch fragrances and nuit bakelite, encelade is nice but the first hour is way too pungent even with one spray

>>17136456
bon monsieur is your #1 pick here
others that come to mind:
>gucci nobile (the god tier pick but hard to find)
>duc de devrons l'extreme
>amber oud by nicolai (not your 'generic fougere', but the animal facets are out there')

Was hoping for some recommendations on a first not super cheap scent.

Good options for a tomboyish (both in appearance and personality) early twenties female to wear daily to my college courses?

I've had a few other perfumes in the past, but all super cheap stuff. Im wanting to buy something quality this time, i can afford like 300 dollars tops.

My favorite I've had so far was pic related, i still use it almost daily during the spring and summer despite it not lasting very long on my skin. i actually ended up adding some of it to my shampoo to try to get the scent to last longer on me than a couple hours.

I cannot stand florals, especially rose, and i typically like sweet, fruity, and spicy scents. Bonus points if theres some vanilla notes in there, i love basically anything with vanilla.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, I'm really just looking for a place to start since I'm relatively new to this stuff.

>>17136461
How long it last though? I'm deciding between that and intense although I don't really like coconut

>>17136546
forgot to say, I'm aware that the one i showed says its lavender, which is a floral obviously, but imo its barely noticeable in the actual scent.

>>17136546
sorry don't really know what a tomboy even is or how one would like to express herself, but some fragrances by Jul et Mad come to mind - maybe take a look at fragrantica (stairway to heaven and stilettos on a lex)

>>17136539
Yeah bon monsieur is great, i just wish it lasted longer. Thanks for the other suggestions i will look into those as well.
Speaking of you might want to read the fragrant page for Houbigant colone intense. Apparently it bombed since bottles come pretty cheap compared to the rest in the line but it just might be something that intrests you. Just read about it today havent had a chance to try it myself.

>>17136546
From what I've personally sampled so far, Carner El Born might be right up your alley. Fragrantica lists it as amber floral, it really isn't very floral though, but it has nice sweet coziness and great vanilla (really one of the best IMO), very wearable for both sexes, but even more so for a girl. Performance was lacking on me, that's why I never grabbed a full bottle.

>>17136581

You might like the edt, its a brand new formula because the old edt got banned last year by changes in European fragrance laws. It should be a bit sharper and less round, but you are right that y is generic, its a fragrance that people buy because its easy to wear and wont offend anyone

Sounds good, i don't know of any to suggest, but id buy one

Not that anon
If you can get a bottle for $45-$50 then yes, its one of my favorites, the performance of the modern bootles isint fantastic but the smell is still there in all its glory. Green, bitter, mossy, somewhat sweet castorium, its an absolutely fantastic composition

mont blanc explorer is the closest i’ve found but i’m tired of the aventus style

Akigala wood is a selective extraction from patchouli

Yatagan is to perfumery what Laphroaig is to Scotch Whisky. Not everyone likes it, but those who drink it, love it.

What is wrong with you? If you lowkey want to buy this, why don’t you just lowkey buy this. Why would you expect somebody to waste 15 dollars just so they can tell you how this smells. Don’t you have 15 dollars to waste? Are you poor?

You can repeat that a million times but I will tell you once again that if you have somebody around who would absolutely tell you if that was the case, you can safely apply whatever frag you want.

Some frags unfold very badly in the heat. You're just a noselet

it's still popular because it's the best 80s-style chypre ever made
it's also more balanced and elegant than some people say, it's memed as this super animalic beast, but it's not really all that shocking

aqua allegoria pamplelune is a good tomboy scent. basically a hyperrealistic juicy grapefruit

my favorite vanilla scent is Guerlain Shalimar, it's also the sexiest scent to me and does have some masculine elements so it's not totally feminine. but some people say it smells like their grandma, so try it before buying lol
as for more modern stuff - rochas moustache, eau des baux and noir extreme are targeted to men, but are really very unisex and are all nice, spicy vanillas

literally just Terre d'Hermes. 50% Iso E Super and with prominent patchouli

I don't waste my money

Its vaguely similar, would def sample prior to buying. CDG2 is much better imo.

Tried Sedley today and oh my god it's disappointing for a "fresh" summer fragrance, Sedley does the job much better because the dry down is not as boring but both have awful performance
Luckily PdM does better fragrances for the cold and dark seasons

Tried Sedley today and oh my god it's disappointing for a "fresh" summer fragrance, Greenley does the job much better because the drydown is not as boring but both have awful performance, I will try Percival next.
Luckily PdM do a better job on fall/winter fragrances.
