The new Fragrance Groups 101 chart

>>17139769
The fragrance flowchart for beginners.

Guys i have some smells taht i wanted to see if you guys could reccomend any fragrences for, looking for the following scents:

European morning nature
Flower shop
Soap bar with flowery scent
Bonus:
what is you favorite floral fragrence that is super cheap.

What versatile signature fragrance would suit a black leather jacket, white shirt and jeans? I've tried Fahrenheit but found the current formulation really lacks performance. I've blind bought Encre Noire Sport but still waiting on it arriving.

It this /fa/ guide right? Problem is Dior Homme has been reformulated, Halston Z-14 has been reformulated and Incense: Jaisalmer has bad performance according to reviews.

>>17139803
You got the full pic?

yeah if ur gonna look like pic related dont even consider any oldschool fougeres

ombre leather is ur best pick imo

>>17139801

>>17139895
Yeah I agree, it's shit

>>17139801
>European morning nature
Chanel No. 19
>Soap bar with flowery scent
Prada L'Homme
>what is you favorite floral fragrence that is super cheap
JeP Neroli Intense is super cheap. nice white floral with lemon. Cerruti 1881 is also a good one, floral-citrus chypre similar to Eau Sauvage

>>17139803
that outfit looks like something a poo or arab would wear in 2013

>>17139886
>Go to a local perfume store
>only sells normie shit

That faggot who created that graph should test Bois Imperial. Literally fits all categories.

>>17139803
tom ford ombre leather
also dior homme parfum is dior homme on steroids with the leather amped up
you could go for antaeus too if you want something a bit more old school like fahrenheit

Asked him after I came back from lunch. He had the bottle in his car, it was L'Eau d'Issey.

>>17139968
Try Bois Imperial

>>17139940
lol,
According to fragrantica this is the most affordable fragrance that is close to cdg 2, this is serious advice and not a joke (the joke is the idea that they smell similar at all) https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Revlon/Charlie-Silver-3146.html

What are the best ELDO scents?

>FM Dawn
what the fuck why is it so expensive

>>17139971
No, fuck off, everything by essential sucks.

>>17139968
weird, that's a really safe, fresh fragrance that would be difficult to overspray. maybe he applies 20 sprays in his car just before work and that's why?

Are any Vuitton frags good?

>>17139973
Fat Electrician is their best IMO. interesting but very wearable smoky vetiver gourmand. nice balsamic touches too

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
Cardinal by Heeley, most realistic of the bunch, though not quite as balsamic as I'd like as it's not only focused on incense, also questionable performance
Incense: Avignon by CDG, less realistic Cardinal with slightly better longevity
also I'd rather stay away from discounted frags because of the availability and leavening prices
I'm looking at Casbah, Lavs, Ma Nishtana, Incense: Zagorsk, and Kokain White Intense, though I can't for the life of me find samples of these and I'm not going to blind buy bottles with this prices, aside from maybe Kokain

I love green Tee.

Is there a good "green Tee Frag" on the market?

>>17140068
Voyage d'Hermes Parfum has pretty prominent green tea. it's like green tea with lemon and fresh cardamom

>>17139955
Polo double black

>>17140073
Ah so that's where that hint of bitterness comes from

212 VIP Black

Is this a legitimate clubbing fragrance?

>>17139823
I'll look into those suggestions, thank you!

>>17139841
>>17139868
>>17139917
>ombre leather
I thought a leather scent with a leather jacket would be a meme, is this really the way to go?
Also how does ombre leather compare to la yuqawam? I tried a tester of la yuqawam and it was absolutely vile; like an old lady's handbag that's been in lost property for several years

>>17139913
Agreed, not sure how old the infographic is

>>17140056
Interesting category. IMO the best ones are Full Incense, Murkwood, Memoir Man, Epic Man.
You could also try Lubin frim Akkard.
Casbah was a disappointing for me, it's more an oriental style of incense.
Rien is smoky and have that leathery shoe cream note, i dig it, but the rose destroys everything.
You should also don't have huge hopes with cheaper incense scents like the one from Rammstein. The good ones are unfortunately expensive.

>>17140093
>Also how does ombre leather compare to la yuqawam
I haven't smelled la yuqawam, but I have smelled tuscan leather, which it's supposed to be a clone of
ombre leather is less ashy, more ambery and overall a more easy to wear version of the DNA that won't put people off. the opening is full on leather, but it calms down to a nice ambery, sweet, smoky scent

but desu Dior Homme Parfum is my favorite designer leather, it's more complex and less in your face than either of the tom fords, a lot going on in it beside the leather

>>17140073
Is there something like Voyage but less sweet, more niche feeling?

>>17140093
Especially Unutamam, it's very animalic, leathery with some Vicks cold ointment note. Like Ganymede it makes me horny, only few scents can do this.

>>17140056
unironically Dylan Blue lol

>>17140102
Nice okay, I think it was mainly the raspberry note in la yuqawam that really put me off

>>17140108
>it makes me horny
as in it makes you horny to wear it, or to smell it on someone else (please tell me you're a woman (female))?

>>17140143
>(please tell me you're a woman
lmao, weak ass simp.

>>17140147
as if I care on a mongolian fishing forum retard, I mean I dont want to wear something that makes fags horny

>>17137939
My Brazillian Review

First impressions: barber shop, like a more fresh and subtle Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, with a hint of flowers.

Not harsh at all. A fresh barbershop fragrance.

If you like the genere, go for it blind.

>>17140153
I bet you like to take it in the pooper. I can tell. Simp ass beta male.

>>17140143
On me or someone else. The fragrance Ganymede could me gay as fuck(Top not bottom). Like Zeus and his male maid Ganymedes.

>>17140056
Check out Ex Voto if you can get a sample where you live without paying an arm and a leg.

>>17140143
Unutamam is the ultimate hairy bear scents if you're a twink chaser.

>>17139841
Is Ombre Leather a good signature scent?

>>17139940
Don't know what you mean since it is available in Europe and it's not really expensive but H24 is on a similar ground and you can find it in every shitty Sephora store

i'm losing my mind trying to find a crisp, sparkling fragrance for less than $70

>>17139801
>European morning nature
Lalique Equus
>Flower shop
Invasion Barbare but the flower shop only sells lavender.
>Soap bar with flowery scent
Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, to name something that hasn't been named.
>what is you favorite floral fragrence that is super cheap.
Neroli Intense, of course. Maybe Dunhill Icon if you like it floral with some juniper on top.

>>17140219
Look no further, anon

>>17140234
>Neroli Intense,
How shitty is the longevity

>>17140237
If you expect a powerhouse from a sub 10€ fragrance, I have to disappoint you. But I get 4-5 hours out of it easily. It's just 4711 in a longer lasting version.

>>17140082
Yes, its generic, but a clubbing fragrance indeed.

A fragrance for this song?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zBAeq0EyD9A

>>17140056
You need to try Diptyque L'Eau Trois. It's all about unburnt frankincense and myrrh resin (not smoky), along with bitter green herbal notes and pine. Imagine stumbling upon ancient overgrown church ruins in southern Greece; that's what L'Eau Trois smells like. I find it more "challenging" than Avignon et al, but it has an austere, holy vibe that's really beautiful. Also it came out in 1975 so it's pretty much the OG niche incense frag. Great stuff.

Also Lavs and Zagorsk are both great, so def try to track those down. And you didn't mention it, but Incense: Ouarzazate is a great tangy frankincense that works well in hot weather unlike most incense frags, so check that one out too if you get a chance.

>>17139955
Polo BBC

>>17140388
>ancient overgrown church ruins in southern Greece
Not him, does this imply it's wearable in hot weather? I've been wanting to try a Diptyque frag and not sure which one to sample

>>17140388
Also bonus points if anyone can identify the record sleeve that bottle of L'Eau Trois is sitting on ;)

>>17140100
>Casbah is a more oriental style of incense
how do you mean?
>don't have high hopes for cheap stuff
the price and quality of frags are hardly related once you pass the quality threshold of supermarket brand frags in my experience, Ikon for example is the cheapest of the bunch and it's by far not the worse
>>17140176
time to get a sample of that, Nord du Nord and Sale Marino in tow
>>17140388
thanks for the rec anon, but I have tried it already
it's in the list in my previous post

>>17140402
Personally I think it's best suited to cool weather, but I'm very much a "wear anything any time" kind of guy, so I think you could get away with wearing it in the heat.
What kinds of frags do you like? I can try to recommend some more Diptyques if I know what you're into

>>17140410
>Eau Trois
Ohh sorry, I overlooked that!

>>17140160
yeah, it's a nice cheapie in the style of Eau Sauvage. I prefer it to Boucheron personally, it's just lighter and more refreshing to me

>>17140410
Casbah, like the origin of the name, reminded me more of an ancient mosque than a old church. It's more spicy than actual incensy, but you should most def try it out.
A list you could try out:
-La Liturgie des Heures
-Messe de Minuit
-Sacreste
-Rêve d'Ossian

>>17140417
>What kinds of frags do you like?
I don't know, I'm kind of lost with all the fragrance families honestly, it's difficult to figure out what I like most. So far I seem to enjoy florals, spicy-fruity natural smelling frags, whatever Antaeus is, and fougeres like Meme water and Green Irish tweed. I don't like synthetic woody smells like Sauvage and Fierce, there's something cloying about them, and super heavy frags of any kind are a no go.

>>17140235
nope, $78 at lucky scent. nice try, twink.

>>17140433
>whatever Antaeus is
Antaeus is an 80s style frag mixed with a chypre
and yeah, it's beautiful

>>17140434
Recent really good deals are Ganymede, Bois Imperial and Kenzo Intense.
They check all boxes: niche quality, good price, for wood lovers: saw dusty, kinda pleasurable, pulls compliments, as a snob myself they're literally very good.

It was really hot today and Kenzo Intense really worked well. Now enjoying the aquatic peppery woody gherkin drydown while watching Hunter Schafer pictures.

Not that anon but if it's as good as reviews say I might just blind buy a bottle. 175 Euro ain't that bad for 100ml if I don't get raped by customs fees.

What's your experience with Diptyque? I got a sample of Philosykos EDT a few days ago and the performance was so laughably poor I'm unsure wether I should even bother sampling anything else by them. L'eau du trente quatre does sound interesting to me though.

Thoughts on Black Orchid (for a man)?

>>17140929
Fucking based. Gonna wear L'Homme Ideal EdP tomorrow. Of course someone in the video comments says "I could see it getting cloooooooying" as the average clooooying poster has had their brains rearranged by fragrantica ratings about what season you can wear a fragrance in.

>>17141104
one of the best tom ford frags, better than most private blends. I think it's fairly unisex. way more worth the price than Noir Extreme for example

>>17140713

But does he DO drugs?

>>17140452
The fact that you even change your grammar while playing different sides on a 4chan thread for months on end really confirms that you're a schizo who deserves the rope. Also Elle Fanning is a whore.

>>17141163
Is it appropriate for summer?
Does it lean feminine?

>>17141210
too heavy and sweet for the summer I'd say, unless maybe in the evenings
it does lean feminine a bit to my nose, but easy to wear for a man too

since some faggot has been shilling L'Eau Boisee Homme here regurarly I decided to cop a bottle for a deal

>>17141215
it's a nice frag, I might get it when I run out of Terre d'Hermes (which will take years probably)

>>17141104
smells like shit.
On the other hand, Velvel Orchid smells incredible

>>17140929
Yup, he's still got it.

anyone have that "I smell like shit... I smell nice... I smell like shit again" image?

Ok, hear me out on this one:

I recently bought Héritage and thought I wouldn’t get to wear it regularly until autumn, but since it’s new to me I thought I’d at least try it now.

And holy shit! This fragrance fucking slaps in hot weather. It’s not cloying because it isn’t sweet, and it becomes something else completely when you’re sweating; it doesn’t get smudged but rather goes way more fougère.

Honest contender for my top frag of all time, because it literally works all the time. Top jej

>>17141353
yeah people online think you can't use anything that's not a boring aquatic in warm weather for some reason. heritage is an all year frag

>>17141268
anything with civet does this

>>17140476
You’re me but Bois-reverted. I regret not getting 100ml if Bois Belize Intense on one hand as it’s the most gorgeous refreshing tea scent I’ve smelled but on the other hand 2 sprays last easily 24h in heat on me and survive a shower so I don’t see myself finishing this 30ml any time soon.

>>17141400
>Bois Belize Intense
Get the non-Intense version

>>17141207
Elle Fanning together with Emma Watson literally hit the wall.
Newest crush is a male.
Also scent of the day: Ganymede.
Bois Impérial would still do the job, tho.
I also saw Bois Belize here around, should sample it as soon as possible.

so the Elle Fanning schizo ranting about Bois Imperial is actually the Bois Imperial shill? /frag/ is a weird place and some of you have too much free time at hand

>fragrance only available in 30ml or 50ml

Anybody else refuse to buy fragrances if they aren't available in at least 100ml?

What is a good frag for the office for a mid-twenties guy?

>>17141523
not that anon, but all of them.

Of all the frags I've ever tried, these are the ones that really impressed me in no particular order:
>Frédéric Malle L'Eau d'Hiver
>Frédéric Malle Dries Van Noten
>Voyage d'Hermès parfum
>Virgin Island Water
>Kenzo L'Eau Indigo
>Antaeus
>Fou d'Absinthe
>Kilian Vodka on the Rocks
>Soleil Brûlant
>Oud Wood
>Black Orchid
What can you recommend I try based on that list?

>>17141581
Dior Homme Parfum, Shalimar, Jovoy Psyechedelique

>>17141429
No, that's just deflection. Same as the BI shill claiming that anyone who calls him out is only one guy that's the "schizo."
And he regularly will post as a /frag/ tourist asking for a rec just so he can answer himself to rec Bisch frags.

>>17141595
To be fair you sound a bit schizophrenic if you think it’s just one person recommending it. I’m >>17141400 if that matters

>>17141429
yeah, it's just one weirdly obsessed autist shitposting as both sides

What are some designer scents or brands with niche quality?

the girl I bought the last set of samples from threw in a couple more ml of unrelated stuff, among them an "Ambre n.°9" which smells deliciously creamy and somewhat sweet, though I can't seem to figure out what frag it is

>time to get a sample of that, Nord du Nord and Sale Marino in tow
Good choice. While you are at it I would also recommend getting a sample of Klubwasser from the same house. Really juicy, plant-sappy, green scent with some mild woodiness and a hint of balsamic smokiness. Very interesting and definitely one where I would say just get the sample to know what this is about.

>>17140615
Don't do it man. That's a lot of money. Just get a sample if you are that interested.

>>17141373
I agree, though for some you don't wanna over spray them in the heat. Aquatics are nice but I personally prefer sweet & fruity stuff.

>>17141726
How can one fuck up design with such a nice frosted glass bottles with shitty, flimsy caps and labels is beyond me. It looks cheap and tacky

>>17140578
This guy has AWFUL taste in frags. He likes the most conventional shit imaginable. You don't even need to watch his stupid rants, just sort any store by "best sellers". There, I just saved you 10 minutes of watching a fuckboy-wanabe talk about shit he knows nothing about.

After seeing Bois Imperial memed and shilled almost non stop in these threads I finally got a sample today and I loved it instantly.

>>17141613
Guerlain if you consider them designer

Bois Imperial just seems like it smells like bitter herbs and wood chips. Is it really that good?

>>17141827
No it's just a meme.

apparently Tom Ford hiked their prices up again... it's getting a bit silly how overpriced some of their scents are

>>17141853
>silly how overpriced
https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/FRED-CPIAUCSL/

>>17141765
The caps aren't flimsy at all. They are pretty solid and feel great. I agree on the labels though.

>>17141827
As a fragrance snob who shilled for niche and searched for good wood fragrances, Bois Imperial really hit a nerv.
Smell like high quality, last long, compliment magnet and it's not expensive.

>>17141805
You should get Ganymede and Kenzo Intense too, i love these ones and my DH Parfum so much that i would toss all my niche in my collection.

>>17140696
Most definitely should look into your suggestions, thank you

>3 samefaggingss in a row

>>17140213
no

so whos the ultimate fragrance mommy?

>>17141919
Demi Rawling by far
Dumb takes and an obvious PDM paid shill but I want to do such obscene things to her

Is anyone familiar with Guerlain Eau de Cologne du Coq? Luca Turin calls it "a good cologne with a drop of Jicky in it" which sounds amazing to me. Strongly considering a blind buy

>>17141919
Pic related, i wanna lick her feet clean

What even are "blue" scents
Are there red, violet, green or whatever scents too

>>17141827

>>17141726

Shill harder.

>>17139801
>Flower shop
Synthetic Jungle. My first association
was a flower store. The opening is very green and humid, then flowers like hyacinth comes forth in the mid.

>European morning nature
Depends on what your idea of what that is, but Invasion Barbare to me paints the picture of a forest glade in the morning with dew in the grass. Becomes drier and powdery as it dries down.

Just received my blind-ordered bottle of CdG's long-discontinued Luxe Patchouli EDT. The initial blast is peppery and syrupy with brown sugar vibes (which is apparently what immortelle flower smells like). I was kind of disappointed by the heavy sweetness at first, but as it dries down the patchouli opens up more and all of a sudden it becomes really sexy and, yes, luxe. I also get a slight note of nail varnish that works very well in this context.
I definitely need to spend more time with it, but I'm glad I bought it even if it's not the ultimate patchouli I was (foolishly) hoping for. For now, Santa Maria Novella Patchouli still holds that title for me (hon. mention to Diptyque Tempo and Etro Patchouly)

Hi do you think the Moon could be an alternative to Portrait of a Lady (which is my absolute favourite to this day)

What are the best beginner/super cheap fragrences? I want to get a varied collection to test my likes and dislikes, and i am tired of only testing top notes in shops.

>>17142043
Nautica Voyage, JeP Neroli Intense, Missoni Wave, Encre Noir, Versace Blue Jeans, Versace The Dreamer, Cool Water

If I had the money I'd definitely consider making it my signature, maybe switching to something else for one or two months during the coldest winter days. It's a great frag though I think it might seem a bit out of place if you live in northern europe or some similar area

>>17142214
I live near the sea so I think it'd be an alright scent to choose, I can whittle down my rotation and decant horde whilst making it a mainstay at first so that I don't burn through it and need to spend another couple hundred

>>17142200
neroli, lavender
also the narcissus note in H24 is intriguing

>>17142221
Then go for it, VIW is an island vacation in a bottle, perfect for seaside towns
Damn I want to order a decant of it now

>>17142198
That's not what blue scents are, so I hope you're responding to the second part.

>>17141523
I finish most 100ml bottles within a year of buying them. Wear them daily, reapply throughout the day, go out almost every weekend and wear them throughout the night. Who buys a bottle of cologne just for it to sit around and collect dust?

>>17142200
violet leaf, tobacco blossom

>>17141919
The one you posted is hot, but she has some of the most dogshit opinions I've ever seen.

>fahrenheit is shit
>million elixir sucks. why? it's popular
>joop is good
>you shouldn't wear sauvage because... YOU JUST SHOULDN'T OKAY??
>million elixir no longer sucks. why? it's not popular anymore

She is the literal embodiment of pic related

>>17141951
Citrus-ambrox shit. Somehow my least favorite category.
Thank god Quentin Bisch created Kenzo Intense and brought fresh air in that genre.

>>17142260
You're way too deep into her lore to not be a religious follower.

What's the /frag/ verdict on BR540?

yo boys help me decide between

KL bois de vetiver wich one i know and love the smell

and lalique equus (blind buy) who is said to be also vibrating and fruity citrusy smell similiar to KL

now i know these are cheapies and stuff but i dont like to waste money overall

my goal is longevity and projection

peace

>>17142294
equus smells great, but has pretty mediocre performance
haven't smelled the other one
Terre d'Hermes performs much better on me and it's also a citrusy woodsy frag with spices, you might want to try it out

>>17142294
>my goal is longevity and projection

BI

>>17142308
i know TDH is divine but its kinda out of my range atm

>>17141491
Retard alert

>>17142098
Zootopian. It's actually pretty fun sniffing stinky smelly frags with family and friends if you have a few that care about perfume.

>>17142361
>>17142294
most cheapies just kind of perform like shit desu, except for the 1980s stuff like bogart. bentley intense is one really good performing cheapie I found, though it's more of a heavy boozy frag

>>17142246
>Who buys a bottle of cologne just for it to sit around and collect dust?
These dudes

>>17142407
>17142407
bentley you say? i got absolut intense and love it
going for the intense as well

today i got loewe 7 cobalt and fell in love with it
check it out
i really fell balls deep with the frags recently

tried Secretiones Magnifique for the first time today
what in the fucking god forsaken world was that

>>17139973
My take on their discovery set:

God tier:
- Divin' Enfant (marshmallow tobacco)
- Fat Electrician (gourmand vetiver)
- Exit The King (soapy chypre)
- Poutain Des Palaces (leathery iris)

Nice tier:
- Soul of my soul (sweet leather)
- Tom of Finland (bitter leather)
- 500 years (rose-cacao-wood)
- Spice must flow (incensy rose)
- Remarkable people (zesty champagne)
- Une amourette Roland Mouret (eucalyptic akigalawood)

Meh tier:
- I am trash (musky apple)
- Eau de protection (ginger rose)
- Experimentum crucis (apple rose)
- Hermann a mes cotes me parassait une ombre (earthy rose)

Shit tier:
- Jasmin et cigarette (fecal monstrosity)
- You Or Someone Like You (overly sharp green notes)
- She was an anomaly (Poutain Des Palaces neutered)
- Archives 69 (waxy nose-hair burning snicebomb)
- Like this (ditto)

Too out there for ranking:
- Ghost in the shell (a very unique milk accord, not unpleasant but frankly weird)

alright, my lancaster cool water from 2005 finally arrived but it's nothing special even considering it cost me 25 bucks
i thought this half vintage batch would kick my ass but i don't care for this kind of scents, and secondly coty aspen is very similar

>>17141919
hate this ugly tranny bitch
>HERRRO MUH SEXY DIRTY BASTURDS

>>17141919
she's only hot because she's a whore
only a nigger would marry her

>>17141915
>>17140213
I don't see why not?

Too popular?

Anybody know W2C SHL77 in the US without paying $50 for shipping? the usuals don't have God of Fire

>>17139973
I got their big discovery set and I bought Fat Electrician and Tom of Finland

>>17140219
Guerlain imperiale or Guerlain eau de Guerlain

>>17140452
How’s Kenz, sounds super interesting. I just have to get my nose on it!

>>17141353
Heritage is a great. I love that lavender opening and sandalwood dry down. Try the other Guerlain masculine classics. They’re all nice and versatile.

I hope everyone got a bottle of Guerlain homme leau boissee. I went to get my 4th backup bottle and see all the cheapies are gone. I like them for $50/100ml

My sister bought me this on her trip to Italy. It's not too bad actually. Anyone else got anything from this house?

>>17141919

>>17141934
Names? I don't follow fragrance ppl (yet)

Tell me what fragrance to buy

>>17142869
Egoïste.

The new formulation of Versace Eros EDT makes my neck burn
Its literally only this fragrance that does it

>>17142949
Nevermind
I think it might be because my pores are open and im sweating a lot

>>17141104
Goat frag imo. I adore it. I’ve got the black edt.

>>17142869
cool water B-)

>>17142749
Had no idea that Officine Creative even made perfumes. I've have a couple pairs of boots from them. Gonna have to check this one out, looks pretty good.

>>17142869
Antaeus.

>>17142869
Dylan Blue
Acqua di Gio
Sauvage
Bleu de Chanel
Cool Water
Le Male
Luna Rossa Carbon

Don't listen to anyone who tells you to get Bois Imperial, anything by Polo, or Explorer.

>>17143044
checked, what's wrong with polo?

>>17143050
Cheap synthetic garbage. People who wore Red or Blue one time 10 years ago swear it's the best thing they've ever worn that got them 20 bitches on their dick.

>>17142612
>Too popular?
Smells stupid. That is a scent for leather sofas and cars.

>>17143051
I've heard that blue is a good tobacco frag and I was actually interested in it, is it that bad?

>>17142524
Got the same feeling about vintage CW. My new bottle of the stuff is fine, there was no need to get the vintage.

>>17142869
Anything from Dior or Chanel. Maybe Hermes.

I thought that the Bois Imperial hype was just a joke, but bought a sample and legit have gotten more compliments than with any other frag

>>17139769
JOOP!
Always the best

>>17143134
It's really that good. It will value up a beginners collection and it filled the gap of a good woody scent in my niche assemblage.
Tried Bowmakers, Arso, Woodcut, Fille en Aiguilles etc. but Bois Imperial is high up there. Really nice saw dusty DNA and it only cost a few bucks, while Serge Lutens Fille en Aiguilles can cost you up to 300 bucks.

>>17142656
You should, Quentin Bisch brought fresh air into the Kenzo line. Just test Kenzo edp 2016 and then Kenzo Intense 2021, you'll shocked.

What do you guys think about this one?

If you had to rank the regions/continents by their level of perfumery, Europe would be top. But what's in second place? NA or Asia?

>>17143163
>Asia
>fragrances are seen as offensive
Lmao

>>17143164
Asia isn't just Japan, anon... the middle east is also Asia
and yeah, second place is Asia. north america has some good indie brands nowadays and a few designers like Tom Ford and Polo, but it's all pretty inconsequential compared to the whole long tradition of attars, all the exotic ingredients, oud, sandalwood, spices... it's all Asia, mostly the middle-east to India region and its influence on modern perfumery is huge

>>17143137
decants came in today:
>Cerruti 1881
>Hermes H24
>Guerlain Heritage
>Boucheron Jaipur
>Bois Imperial (didn't impress me at a store, but willing to give it a second chance. my friend likes woody stuff so will just give it to him if I don't like it)
>Lalique Lion
>Bogart Pour Homme
>Costume National Homme

what am I in for?

I thought that the Sauvage hype was just a joke, but bought a sample and legit have gotten more compliments than with any other frag

>>17143219
>what am I in for
Paying to smell something. That is what low self-esteem does to you.

>>17143221
>Sauvage
Get the edt. It is still very good.

>>17140214
do NOT listen to this anon
CDG2 and H24 are nothing alike

>>17143223
lmao, hilarious projection
I go to stores all the time, I just buy decants of the things I can't find in there (like Jaipur, Bogart or Costume National) or bigger decants of things I'm not sure I want a full bottle of yet (like H24 and Cerruti)

>>17143221
It's really that good. It will value up a beginners collection and it filled the gap of a good woody scent in my niche assemblage.
Tried Bowmakers, Arso, Woodcut, Fille en Aiguilles etc. but Sauvage is high up there. Really nice cedar DNA and it only cost a few bucks, while Serge Lutens Fille en Aiguilles can cost you up to 300 bucks

>>17142294
>my goal is longevity and projection

Sauvage

>>17140434
Recent really good deals are Eau Sauvage Parfum, Sauvage and Fahrenheit Le Parfum.
They check all boxes: niche quality, good price, for wood lovers: saw dusty, kinda pleasurable, pulls compliments, as a snob myself they're literally very good.

It was really hot today and Eau Sauvage Parfum really worked well. Now enjoying the lavender vetiver elemi drydown while watching Ellen Page pictures.

>>17143239
>>17143231
ironic shitposting is still shitposting

>>17143239
How’s Fahrenheit Le Parfum, sounds super interesting. I just have to get my nose on it!

>>17143246
You should, Francois Demachy brought fresh air into the Fahrenheit line. Just test Aqua Fahrenheit 2011 and then Fahrenheit Le Parfum 2014, you'll shocked.

>>17143245
>ironic shitposting is still shitposting
schizo detected

>>17141930
I haven’t tried that one but I do like and Own Jicky, imperiale and eau de Guerlain. I’ll probably blind buy di cow too.

Suavage is unironically god tier, you are just incels.

>>17143314
>>17143239
>watching Ellen Page pictures
>shilling to Sauvage

Fits that taste, bro

>>17143317
To be fair you sound a bit schizophrenic

>>17143332
Nah, atleast Hunter Schafer could be a good wife

SOTD:
Amber Malaki. It might be warm, but it's never too warm for something ambery and sweet with lots of vanilla.

Anyway, Coty Aspen came in. Blind bought it because I like all the frags it's associated with. It's very close to Cool Water, but with a bit more soap in it. Longevity is around zero, but I expected that. Overall, I don't know when to use it - Cool Water does basically the same for longer, at almost no additional cost.

>>17142861
Jus de Rose

>>17143219
Solid selection. H24 smells like jelly bears, unfortunately.

>>17143219
Let me know how you like the Lalique frag.

>>17143351
I quite like H24 actually, but I get why you could get jelly bears out of it and end up disliking it. to me it's more of an unripe banana / melon opening followed by some florals, heat-scorched grass and freshly ironed clothes. pretty unique but also subtle and inoffensive yet with decent performance, might cop a bottle

the other one I've tried more extensively is Cerruti 1881, it's a green citrus floral, somewhat reminiscent of both Eau Sauvage and Boucheron. doesn't last long, but smells very nice for the price, feels lighter and more summery than Boucheron

I'll be sure to give my thoughts on the others once I test them properly

Frags for this feel?

something for women or maybe a female leaning unisex with pleanty floras that's a bit sweet to remind you of the gf you don't have

I would like to know your thought on Cerruti, BI, Lalique and Bogart

>>17143068
Nigga you heard WHAT?

Going to a bar with some friends tonight, the bar is outside and it's gonna be around 25 degrees during the night, is polo green a good option? Feel like wearing it but don't know if it will be a good option, I've also considered davidoff zino or versace dreamer, give me some advice. I generally like those cooler weather scents for summer nights, don't know about you

>>17143475
I'd go with the Dreamer.

>>17143475
I'd go with Polo Green or something else entirely.

pic related or Varvatos Artisan Pure for the rest of summer, aka this month and next month.

>>17143536
how is the Lalique?

>>17143536
I've never seen a Varvatos frag that had good performance. Which is a shame because some of them smell really good

Guys, I'm between Acqua di Gio and Terre d'Hermes for this summer. It's pretty hot where I live, what would u suggest?
Also I can't wait for this autumn, I love Spicebomb

>>17143536
>>17143540
I have yet to test the lalique out properly, but at first sniffs it's a nice, soft chypre with noticable sandalwood and vanilla in the base. quite a calming frag

>>17143561
Acqua di Gio is the more summery frag technically, but it's also kind of boring compared to Terre. it's your choice

>>17143568
To me the opening is the worst of that fragrance, a complete mess of notes with citrus/woods/vanilla and what not. I love when it fucks off.
Drydown is a strong masculine chypre/fougere accord, very mossy, can smell a little dated to some. According to my gf, the sillage smells soapy. I don't get that when sniffing it on skin. I'm sure that this isn't a crowdpleaser, but I like it. It also lasts really long on me.

>>17143561
TdH so you stop giving money to L'Oreal.

>>17143596
I've also thought about Fierce by Abercrombie, and YSL Y... Would you say those are better? Sorry, I'm new as fuck

>>17143561
>>17143609
All of these are boring and overdone imo.

>>17142200

I like heritage more than the Lalique. Lalique smells cheap if oversprayed. Otherwise it’s nice

>>17143561
How tdh vetiver?

>>17143475
>>17143609
I'd go with Y just because I like it. But polo green is a solid option too.

>>17143561
I really liked tdh Givre for the citrus. Try it, mate.

Wearing sample of Chanel allure homme sport. It’s nice but I don’t smell a marine note. At least it doesn’t smell like the ocean tk me. And I grew uk at the ocean.

>he deleted the previous pic
how insecure. Embrace it, you are a faggot.

>>17142492
I've also purchased the discovery kit and still have some samples left for trying, but I'm done with their "Orange Extraordinaire" line, the one with the dark bottles and the golden emblems.

I must say that they're some of the most unnatural-smelling (synthetic) and offensive fragrances I've had the displeasure of smelling so far. They all have the same (overpowering) signature rose note, which I think is intended, but they're without any balance otherwise, like take Soul of my Soul for example. It projected hard for 3 hours, but during that time it smelled like an undefined hot mess; I couldn't make out a single note except for that underlying synthetic rose, which admittedly, is unique to that line. With the exception of 500 Years, which managed to even it out a bit (with the cocoa I guess?) there was absolutely nothing I could ever imagine wearing. Very disappointed with that line.

>>17143724
what did he mean by this

>>17143784
I saw it on fragrantica so that might explain it. I smelled fresh, musky, and like laundry detergent in a inoffensive way.

>>17143920
I think he wants to know how the terre d’hermes vetiver flanker smells

Anyone have any experience with this brand?

>>17143664
Cocaine, gay stuff, dancing with black guys in Ibiza.
The usual.

>>17144054
Try L'artisan Parfumeur Un Air de Bretagne instead.

Bisch shill, where the fuck do I get kenzo edt intense? try his edp of it?

>>17144136
also, anyone try enclade?

I honestly don't know how people can wear generic blue scents or even mass pleasers in general
I mean it's not difficult to find something even a little bit less conventional yet just as pleasant to most people. I smelled TdH for the thousandth time this month at a bar just now and it was just depressing, don't people mind smelling like everyone else? Why even wear perfume at this point
