is cape heartache the best IA frag? the notes look very fucking snice

>>17144145
also, when cdg incense zagorsk dries down, it smells like bois imperial

>>17144170
my thoughts exactly. it could be Dracula's signature scent

>>17144183
i think /frag/ found his

fragrance

>>17144145
Where do you live? Notino have it for cheap.
>>17144177
It's a plus, Bois Imperial also last longer.

>>17144137
Based OP, but why boat and ocean? It smells like a dry pine forest.

What are your opinions on BR540

>>17144202
USA. Yeah most of the CDG frags are worth it.

It’s hard to explain, but I’ll try. You know that feeling you get when you see a nigger? Like that pulling inside that says, watch out! Niggers are dangerous! Well, when I smell 540 I think, watch out! Faggots are nearby!

>>17144418
that makes sense anon

Let’s go Bisch chads

>>17144418
>watch out! Faggots are nearby!

the dreamer smells like a scrotty little sebian drug dealer
why did people shill this?

>>17144447
smells like a sweet lavender, stop being a fag

>>17144460
Why bother with second tier lavender frag when Caron pour homme is widely available?

amazing fragrance. any lesser known jacques polge worth seeking out?

I like bois imperial at first but it always gets in my chest and it feels like heartburn

>>17144559
Why should I care about what that nigga made? What’s good with his nose? No cap

>>17144584
Are you spraying in on your tendies Anon?

>>17144418
You're right, but fragrances and fashion as a whole are kind of a gay hobby in general lmao

>>17144467
Its barely a lavender scent, it's more of a proto version of le male
basically a fragrance for older gay men

blind bought this, its coming tomorrow
what do we think losers

>cedrat boise
>bois imperial

>>17144142
ah, time to try some of these introductory fra--
>£100
dropped

>>17144173
do you like strawberry candy and want to smell like it? I thought it was pleasant enough, but I wouldn't buy a bottle because I don't want *myself* to smell like it.

>>17144865
Tried cedrat boise at a store the other day, was disappointed. It smelled weird and off, not as much citrus as I expected

>>17144809
I'm excited to hear what you say about it

>>17144865
>>17145145
cedrat boise is genuinely horrible, synthetic tropical flavored candy and smoke
BI is not bad I guess, but I don't get the hype. pretty simple linear spicy woody patchouli. sort of like TdH with all the citrus taken out or something

>>17145169
Holy shit I was beginning to get curious about BI with all the shilling, thanks for dispelling the false hype. It's been downgraded from "willing to pay for a 2ml decant" to "would sniff for free at the store". TdH without citrus just sounds boring.

Do you guys find that fragrances get stronger as they age?

I’m always disappointed when I get a new frag because it never smells like the tester when I first open it. But after a few weeks it usually gets stronger and longer lasting.

>>17144170
Speaking of vampire. Moth by zoologist always made me think that, it has a certain red wine note that does it I think.

>>17145179
I mean it's not exactly that, but it's the closest comparison I have. I can say though I see the appeal more than with the recent Kenzo scents, those were just completely boring, this is okay if you want a simple green woody scent. the opening also reminds me of some kind of stinky cheese for some reason lol, thankfully that goes away

>>17145182
Yes, lots of fragnances change character over time. Usually requires that you have spritzed a few times first.

>>17144170
When I got into this hobby I should have just focused on those frags from the 80s man, polo green, zino and kouros smell fucking amazing, this as well I've sampled it and getting a bottle by the end of the week

>>17145202
in the new 40s people will say

>When I got into this hobby I should have just focused on those frags from the 20s man, Sauvage Elexir, Tuscan Leather Intense and Acqua di Giò pour Homme smell fucking amazing, this as well I've sampled it and getting a bottle by the end of the week

but yes its amazing

>>17145216
in the 2030s landscape of minimalist "barely there" abstract scents, people will look back fondly on Sauvage

>>17144447
There might be many Serbian drug dealers on this board, you never know.

>>17144559
Since Polge almost exclusively made fragrances for Chanel, there probably isn't. All the Chanel fragrances are rather well known.

>>17144949
Impossible - how are luxury items expensive? Makes no sense when I can buy Eau de Dryretch for 8.99$ at the drugstore.
In case you aren't the total moron your post makes you appear as, try going to a frag store and just sniffing some stuff, buying small samples online or even starting with the drugstore stuff to figure out some basic notes you like.

>>17145179
BI smells like furniture. Get the Essential Parfums sample set in case any of the other fragrances interest you, otherwise skip it.

>>17145235
Does essential parfums have anything worth trying?

boys i wana begin my journey into arabe frags

wich shall I start i kinda like oud

my initial picks were:


Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Aswad
Rasasi Dhanal Oudh Nashwah
Lattafa Oud For Glory Badee Al Oud woda

the seasons change soon so I will need something with a kick

halp peace

>>17145255
None of these contain oud, anon.

Don't know anything about fragrances, but i've been loving this one my gf got me recently. Literally just smells like a really nice aftershave

>>17144202
>but why boat and ocean?
There aren't many aesthetically pleasing artworks of pine forests.

>>17144418

Based or not?

need somthing cheap for work

>>17145305
>somthing cheap for work
Monotheme Vetiver

>>17145305
Yeah, it's fine. Probably not gonna get you lots of compliments but you won't get many complaints either.
It's a pretty typical 90's aromatic with a nice apple note, gets around 5 to 7 hours of longevity. Should work well as a office/school scent.

>>17144949
poorfag

>>17144447
I'm Serbian but haven't sold drugs yet, and i like the dreamer

>>17145285
Monet did some pine trees

man, nothing has really blown me away since Shalimar and Antaeus...

>>17145249
>>17145391
You should try Bois Impérial

>>17145413
I have. hasn't blown me away. somewhat boring linear woody spicy scent

>>17145418
Then go with Ganymede or Kenzo Intense instead.

>>17145391
Have you tried the other Guerlain classics?

>>17145384
I love this. Reminds me of my hometown likely looked like before it got overdeveloped

>>17145426
some of them, yes. Samsara is the only other one I've loved though

>>17145277
At The Barber’s is legit good. I have a decant lying around and I enjoy it every now and then. If you want something more metallic and cold, but in the same vein, check out Chanel Platinum Egoiste.

>>17145422
Kenzo smells generic as shit

>>17145461
Not the 2021 Intense version
Quentin Bisch rescued the Kenzo Homme line.

>>17145429
Have you tried Egoiste and heritage too? Which one has the best sandalwood and overall fragrance for a man that wants something masculine leaning. Have you tried habit rouge edc? I like it more than Shalimar. How about Jicky and mitsouko? Also nice. Lastly Guerlain vetiver. One of my favorites for day to day wear.

>>17145464
The edp is a generic aquatic

>>17145469
yeah. for some reason I can't seem to enjoy Egoiste and Heritage much, maybe old school sandalwood orientals are not for me. I like Samsara much more, but it does lean feminine
habit rouge I've tried once, but might get a sample, don't remember liking it as much as Shalimar though. Jicky and Mitsouko is definitely on my list to try, gonna have to find some samples ata decent price though

>>17145474
Samsara and egoiste I haven’t tried. I’m tempted to get them both. My wife and I both love sandalwood.

I’ve been in a sandalwood haze recently as Héritage is still blowing me away. Unfortunately, and this might have to do with the recent rebranding of its bottle, it doesn’t last all that well on me.

As a solution that isn’t lotion or moisturizer, I thought of doubling down on the sandalwood of the fragrance with a shower gel. Been looking at Geo F Trumpers sandalwood shower gel recently. I doubt anyone has that here, but I have heard praise of the fragrance, so maybe someone could chime in and tell me if my plan is retarded or not?

>>17145490
I’d suggest saving the money and buying a vintage (gold cap) bottle of heritage on eBay. It’s worth the extra cost to get the Mysore sandalwood.

bloomingdales canceled my order -
3 days after i placed it.

>>17145490
>>17145497
On second thought; that’s probably too expensive since you just bought a nice bottle of heritage. I would buy some quality sandalwood essential oil to layer it with.
Otherwise,

>>17145504
Otherwise what?

>>17145464
tried it, sucks. there are no good designers coming out past 2020. bisch cant rescue it and im sticking with vintage

>>17145521
Otherwise, I haven’t found shower soaps or gels that last much outside of the shower. But it’s enjoyable while showering.

>>17145197
that's a shit description because the main facet is that smell that people are calling "pickled" but that's just because people dont really have a good way to describe it

>>17145249
all of them seem to have poor performance other than bois and maybe the new fig one

Im gonna buy a bottle of hacivat

>>17145676
Okay

>>17145686
And l'air du desert marocain too. Or maybe one of the less known releases from amouage.

>>17145690

>>17145182
Experienced this with Prada Carbon. Literally couldnt smell it when i first sprayed it. After a month or two it became much stronger; a night and day difference.

So you want Aventus but better/more mature and refined? Look no further. Forget the screechy pineapple and smokiness and substitute with more green and woodiness. The drydown on this is so much more classy. Give it a try if you like the Aventus DNA but always wanted a version that's more refined and reserved. Also lasts longer than Aventus. At least than the batches of recent years.

>>17145676
ive had 2, they reformulated it, its not as nuclear and rich as before. still pleasant tho.

Sampled some shit I already sampled before on the way.
>Azzaro Wanted Girl
It's nice and not too feminine to me, I want a bottle for the gf, the bottle is a masterpiece
>Azzaro Wanted
Nice apple, tonka and ginger, good performance. This is the best bottle out of them all hands down.
>Azzaro Wanted
Very nice, apple and ginger, could be used in any weather, good performance
>Azzaro Wanted by Night
better than last time, still too sweet and not
>Azzaro the Most Wanted
Sweet toffee yeah, not my thing. GREAT performance.
>Kenzo EDP/EDT intense
lmao if smelling subtlety of water is your thing, by all means. It's so subtle even on paper that's ridiculous, I can't imagine it performing good.
>Azzaro Wanted Tonic
Gents scents is right, absolutely unremarkable, never buy that one.

I really want a wanted bottle, they are so nice looking. But only the OG is not overly sweet for me...
oh and
>Dunhill Icon
Classy neroli, bergamot, pepper

>>17145886
>I really want a wanted bottle, they are so nice looking
lmao it's like the tackiest bottle out there outside of Armaf and Paco Rabanne

No brand has classier bottles than MFK. Distinctive and recognizable but elegant and far from tacky.

>>17145893
It's so overly tacky that it's not. A revolver drum as a bottle? A grenade with a functional trigger? fuck yes it's fucking epic.

Give me recs for male or unisex frags that smell refined, classy and expensive

>>17145960
Dunhill Icon, the ultimate gentleman scent with an amazing bottle too

>>17145305
I’d spend a little more on H24 or Dior Homme 2020. Or save up for Grey Vetiver

>>17144809
>>17145165
So far i love it, the opening is a bit too spicy but after 10 minutes or so when it wears off it comes through and i like it a lot its amazing, its very warm and will be perfect for the winter

>>17144140
Does anyone have a version of this with cheapies for each subgroup? I know there are several subgroups with cheapies in them but there also seems to be a lot of ones without. I have found some recommendations of Fragrantica, but i would love to hear some experienced input.

>>17145960
Amouage Jubilation XXV

What are we looking forward to wearing when the weather gets cool again? pic related.

>>17146029
Wear it in the heat of summer, dont be a bitch

>>17146036
I would if I could, but that stuff does not react well to sweat. Maybe it's the cumin in it, but when combined with sweat it makes me smell like an Arab.

>>17145785
loewe series should storm this forum like a nice diarrea after fehrenheit bois imperial sauvage etc

>>17146043
Ok, you win. Cumin is the one note that makes you smell like a pajeet.
I 100% would and do smell like an abbasid caliph in his baghdad harem in the middle of summer, though.

>>17145262

how about dunhill agarwood?

>>17146029
I think I'll just keep wearing Voyage EDP this winter, it's versatile enough.

>>17146051
This. Same thing with LAdDM. The cumin note smells dry and spicy in cold weather, smells like a subway in the summer.

>>17146052
Do you want to be in the genre of arab fragrances or also made by arab houses? If its only the former, go with Oud Ispahan by Maison Dior. It follows a very classic arab recipe of rose + oud (real oud) and is quite well executed.

>>17146060
Thats exactly the fragrance I use in the middle of summer, though. I dont get any cumin in it at all, only coriander and ambery notes.
Cumin smells like indian curry while coriander smells like a powdery bakey. Are you sure you arent mixing the two?

>>17146029
when the temperature drops below 20 degrees celsius, I will once again use Dior Homme Parfum whenever I can

>>17146029
Eros and buying a bottle of V&R Spicebomb the original

I'm taking this girl to the museum tomorrow (28°C). what frag should I wear out of:
>H24
>Neroli Intense
>Terre d'Hermes
>Cerruti 1881
>Drakkar Noir (lol)
>some sexy cold weather date night scent that will probably be too cloying in the heat

What's the most suave, charming and seductive scent you've tried? By that I mean something actually intimate and alluring rather than a generic blue frag

>>17146118
A fresh floral would be ideal imo. Out of those, however, id go with tdh. Specially if its one of the nifty flankers.

>>17146135
Layton exclusif. People like that one frederic malle vanilla frag for that, though.

Dior Homme Parfum. on a woman, Shalimar EDP

Got a compliment for YSL Y EDP of all things. Someone said “wow something smells like a nice cologne” when I walked past but I didn’t want to claim it was me or even explain what it was

>>17146232
Because you know it isn't a compliment.
Probably triggering allergies.

>>17146232
>do a 360 and clap your hands
>y-you too
>run away before finishing sentence

What's the deal with oud? Trying on oud for greatness, smells like my beard oil with oud scent. It's alright, but I don't understand the hype.
>Inb4 test real oud.

for anyone who likes the citrusy and sour stuff going on in H24, but can't stand the sweetness i recommend sampling pic related
goes more for a herbal raw mandarin note, while H24 has that rhubarbness
i find Weekend a lot more sophisticated and mature alternative to H24
as with all citrus fragrances, the longevity and sillage are intimate, but that is not an issue for me as this is something i want to smell on myself throughout the day

another comparison i'd make is the Eau sauvage cologne

>>17144202
>It smells like a dry pine forest.
No it doesnt, smells like fake strawberries.

How do you know what fragrances will smell good to women if a woman’s sense of smell is completely different from a man’s

>>17146063
thx bro I ll check it out when it will be more accesible maybe in the uk, here unfortunately none, we got here plenty stuff from arab houses

>>17146367

She won't lie if it benefits her

>>17146374
>Ask her

>>17145690
LADDM is based. Absolutely full-bottle worthy.
Gonna buy it sooner or later, but I will probably sample even more stuff before I do.

>>17145886
For me Dunhill Icon is one of the best for summer. The juniper in it comes off as almost fruity, which really sets it apart from most other neroli/bergamot stuff, without straying too far.

>>17146052
Are you pulling my leg anon?
There are plenty of resources online to find fragrances which contain real oud. There aren't many.

>>17146100
Based, although I'll continue with DHI.

>>17146367
You buy her a sample set. You'd need to know her exact taste to blind-buy a frag correctly.

hey famiglia, how often do you spray and where when you apply your favourite aroma?

I spray once on my upper chest and once on my neck, between my shoulders

>>17146420
Depending on the strength of the fragrance.
Light citrusy summer frags, one on each arm and two in the chest.
Heavy winter frags, one on the chest.

>>17146416

dear sire in fact im here to interest you with the amazing fragrance with over 100 years history

>>17146420

well no one is smelling you guys unless you are spraying something nuclear or getting sexually close to someone.
For a standardly performing edt, 6-7 sprays are just fine. 2 behind each ears and 2 behind the nape. 1on the chest

>>17146447
I wear Hermes Vetiver eau de parfum lately and find two sprays strong, but maybe thats just me not wanting to be too present

Anybody try the ghost in the shell fragrance? I‘m going to blindbuy it. The note breakdown looks amazing. What am I in for boys?

>>17146374
>implying women know what they want

>>17146467
at least go 3. 6 on EDP is fine too.

>>17146153
>Polo Green makes girls wet and goes great with museums
>t. DILF

Recent Polo Green formulation smell great at the start, but dry down to a sweet urinal cake.
Eucris is a much better choice.

>>17146480
>I‘m going to blindbuy it.
Sei kein Narr. You can buy 4 samples of your choice from their website with a total cost of €17.50. Absolutely no excuse for going around and blind buying expensive experimental frags which might turn out to be completely unwearable in everyday life.

>>17146505
alright, i will do that

>>17146420
Everywhere. 40 sprays. They go on the chest, they go on the neck, they go on the wrists and elbows, they go on the clothes.

>>17145886
>>Kenzo EDP/EDT intense
>lmao if smelling subtlety of water is your thing, by all means. It's so subtle even on paper that's ridiculous, I can't imagine it performing good.

Kenzo edp 2016 is also unbearable synthetic.
Go with Kenzo Intense 2021, it was composed by the master perfumer Quentin Bisch. He rescued the Kenzo Homme line. Literally from Incel to Chad.

>>17146512
>i am the scent

>>17146467
>two sprays strong, but maybe thats just me not wanting to be too present
I feel the same way. I used to go three now two. I don't think I'll ever go through these 100ml bottles.

So I started getting into fragrances a little over a year ago, and apparently I've been making a huge mistake by buying at retail instead of discounters. What are the best/most reliable discounter sites that I can buy from? Pretty much all the ones that I've found through google seem sketchy and I don't wanna get scammed. Curious as to what site you guys use.

>>17146519
Takes me 3 months per 100 ml bottle.

>>17146523
find some meta search engine that compares prices of frags between online stores in your region
other than that, Notino operates pretty much everywhere

>>17146063

I second this. It's brilliant. Classic rose-saffron-oud. My wife's signature scent.

>>17146523
Retail price or retail as in in-store?
In-store allows you to test stuff and you might be willing to pay for that service by paying retail price, but if you bought retail price online, you fucked up. When it comes to discounter sites, you should state your country.

>>17146550

Oud and deer musk

>>17146290
Oud frags were a shitty trend from 2018-2020. Ironically enough, most "oud" fragrances, even those that actually contained real oud, smelled nothing like oud at all as it was usually heavily masked by other stuff thrown into the mix. Why? Because frag houses are greedy enough to hop onto trends but not bold enough to add a note/ingredient that smells like human shit mixed with gin. Oud for greatness is one of those.

>>17147062
>deer musk
When will somebody put out a frag with the musk of human females?

>>17146591
Curly dork, camel toilet and whatever you call gent scents.

>>17147111
>Oud...smells like human shit mixed with gin
I've never smelled that from an oud
That is a civet note

>>17147120
You are right. Civet fits that description better. Oud is more of a recently varnished wooden door mixed with a slight hint of cow shit.

Old Spice deodorant is way too overpowering, what brand gives equal performance that doesn't act as a perfume itself?

>>17147124

*shhh
(it's made for a woman, but is strong enough for a man)

bros initially i didn't like it but it's so good, shame it's discontinued
for me it resembled joop homme thats why i disliked it on fragrantica, but now it's more of joop femme+slight piss note which i don't mind, and that camomile is lovely

Bros i need your help. I have a hard time finding the "perfect" perfume for me. So, which fragrence would you imagine this type of person would wear?

thank you for your suggestion anyway, its the best perfume advice anyone ever gave me, truly amazing product, if I would win a lottery ticket today it would be the first thing to buy
and i dont like waste money

>>17145469
>Egoiste and heritage too? Which one has the best sandalwood

Who cares? These are absolutely retarded dated smells that do no deserve any money.

but srsly you kinda gay so I recommend pr one million

>>17147488
>kinda gay
Pretty good description of me. Altough the girls weirdly like that. One million is way to popular here.
Im gonna test out Fahrenheit next time
>>17147466
Just saw some online reviews, might blind buy it, since there is seemingly nothing local that sells it.
>>17147412
Kinda scared its going to be too mature for me, but ill check it out next time.

Antaeus frankly doesn't seem very masculine to me. I like it a lot, but the "dark floral" aspect seems kind of unisex

>>17147491
>>kinda gay
>Pretty good description of me. Altough the girls weirdly like that.

ya i know that feeling bro you could also try
dunhill elite'
and bentley absolute

>>17147326
No they’re not. They’re timeless. You’re just a nigger without taste

>>17147513
that's good, makes it seem less dated than other powerhouses and chypres

>>17147543
You retards throw around the term “dated” and “nice” and don’t even know what they mean.

>>17147545
Dated and niche

>>17147542

pretty cool museum and the view from the shard above the city skyline is cool

So how many of you actually use portable atomizers?

>>17147305
The "type" of person you are doesn't mean anything, though. Go to a frag store and try out samples.

>>17147598
I disagree. I own and have smelled several fragrences that smell very good, but i would never wear because they dont fit my style. For an example i would never wear paco rabanna invictus, because it smells like an awkward teenager. I also own some soliflores that i love, but they don't fit my style.
You have to remember that the people around you remember you and subconsciously judge you by your fragrence. If you ever watch those blind smell videos, they always anthropomorphize the fragrences because they fit a certain type of person.

>>17147623
>You have to remember that the people around you remember you and subconsciously judge you by your fragrence
I think it's the other way around - if you wear a fragrance often, people will start associating it with you and it will naturally start to "fit"

>>17147642
this

>>17147623
you can form your own identity with the actions you take

>>17147642
you are definitely right, but i feel like both are true. If a bodybuilder walked around with an intense floral fragrance for women on, you might think he just sprayed his girls fragrance on himself. Sure you might start associating him with the smell, but it would always in my opinion seem off. Working in a clothing store you often times get close to customers who put a little bit too much cologne on, and i have several times gotten a whiff of someone and just thought "please stop wearing old man/woman fragrances". So while i agree with you i still believe fragrances fit a certain type of person.

Alright boys. Last frag I got was Tom Ford Oud Minerale which I split with a friend 2 years ago.
>I'm going to buy a new Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme, which I finished last year. How is this frags current formulation?
>Secondly I'm looking for something new, unfortunately the nearest decent frag shop is 2 hours away. Therefore I'm thinking of buying a sampler off of some brand, which brand should I get?
Some examples of my current rotation
>Dior Sauvage
>Prada L'Homme
>Creed Aventus
>Creed Green Irish Tweed
>Tom Ford Oud Minerale

>>17147595
>COOC EdP
How's the longevity on that one? I heard most NACHEL frags are hit or miss

>>17147646
This mentality is what leads to 40 year olds wearing one million. You have to realise that even though confidence can get you a long way, we still have ideas and perceptions of scents, colours, styles and so on. We associate these things with certain groups, due to prior experiences, what we hear from others and so on.

>>17147652
Probably the MFK sampler set with 4 frags in it which you can assemble yourself. Hard to match your current rotation to anything other than popular niche frags.

>>17144809
All Serge Lutens parfumes are very intellectual in my opinion. They only have one light weight airy perfume. Like all of them except the ones with rose. Love feminite du bois, I use them more in winter time or autumn.

>>17144137
How do I avoid irritant fragrances? One of the reasons I stopped using the perfumes I had was that they all made me sneeze and feel bad, specially if I got my pulse too close to my nose. They were usually citric as far as I'm aware.
Ok, I know the obvious answer is "try them out", but I want to know if the problem is common enough that there's a substance or two I could avoid and most likely solve my issues that way. Reading the label would save a lot of time, specially because the nausea part only happens after prolonged exposure for me.
If not, guess I'll just try something different and pray.

>>17147676
By the way, I thought it would be too old so there was no point mentioning it (+10 years), but for me the main culprit for sneezing was the Azzaro Pour Homme. It's in the chart in the sticky, so I guess it's still used. (unless the formula changed significantly?)

>>17147676
It would be easier if you knew the name of the fragrances. Could be bergamot, oakmoss or something else.

>>17147670
What are their best florals?

>>17147693
white florals

>>17147642
I don't think so. Fragrances convey specific images and impressions.

>>17147690
Apparently it's none of those, because it's not even citric. I just suck with fragrances, sorry.

>>17147676
Get an allergy patch test. Common allergens are listed on the packaging of the bottles. If you figure it out with a test, you can avoid frags which list those allergens as ingredients.

>>17147716
Is it really an allergy though? It feels like it's less intense than that.
Also, is there one just for perfume ingredients? Feels like those ingredients wouldn't be listed under a normal test.

I might try Back to Black since it's a frag i've been meaning to test out for a while now, but a recent loss of interest in frags has caused this.
Should I give any Zoologist a go? I'm in the EU so I'll get buttfucked by customs if I order direct, most likely

>>17147749
lulua.pl has zoologist and they ship from poland
i personally hated all of them, with just squid and civet being so-so

>>17147687
could be oakmoss, azzaro still probably has some oakmoss

>>17147676
You sure it wasn’t psychological? Modern fragrances go through adhere to strict rules made by IFRA to minimize the chances of someone having a reaction, much to our displeasure as this also fucks with the formulations.
Unless you are using older frags or non-IFRA compliant, which are very rare, it’s probably psychological or you already got an irritated nose from rhinitis and any strong smell would trigger a crisis.

just copped me Missoni Wave Deodorant stick, it smells really fresh, just like a fresh shower
the Missoni Wave fragrance smelled too fresh in the store for me but i really like it

>>17147850
should have copped the frag, it's only that fresh and citrusy in the early opening. 100 ml for 28 bucks with shipping? Versace PH opening and Chanel Allure Homme sport soapy creamy drydown?
Hell fucking yeah it's my summer go-to.
I'm still not completely sure about its performance since the retard who I ask questions about my frag is infact a retard, but soon I'll know for sure. Love it.

>>17147872
yea, have sprayed on the back of my hand and keep smelling it on my wall back home
i keep smelling some salty freshness, a bit of citrus, like crushed lemon salt, it slowly convinces me

Any niche frags similar to Voyage d'Hermes?

>>17147895
look for something with tea and citrus. I love voyage. I also hear that bvlgari pour homme extreme is similar but its discontinued and the OG has shit performance. Also, the voyage parfum smells pretty similar to the edt, if the performance is your problem.

>>17147879
it's that good. Smells way better than many designer 3 times its price. Cool box and bottle and magnetic cap too. Can go heavy on the trigger too. It's just so soft and nice, no one can be disappointed from this scent honestly. Surely nothing out of the ordinary but if you are like me who is building a collection from scratch and don't want to spend too much, this is a great summer everyday scent

>>17147906
I have the EDP. I'm just looking for something with a similar profile but more complex/interesting as niche scents tend to be.

>>17147907
I'd say its the best cheap clone ive ever tried. smells way more like AHS than VPH does. VPH had the worst reaction to my skin chemistry out of any frag ive ever tried. Smells like chlorine.

to the anon who asked me last thread to provide my thoughts on the Lalique Lion, Cerruti 1881 and Bois Imperial decants I received:
>Lalique Pour Homme Lion
a classic barbershopy melange of citrus and aromatics on a base of oakmoss and sandalwood. the sandalwood combined with the twist of vanilla and iris makes this a very comfy and calming scent to my nose. It's certainly old-fashioned, but I prefer it to the more spicy scents in a similar styles like Guerlain Heritage, it's just so mild, smooth and easy to like for this genre
>Cerruti 1881
a citrus-floral chypre in the vein of Eau Sauvage, maybe more on the floral side. very nice, refreshing cheapie for the summer if you like this kind of old-fashioned floral + aromatic scent. might last a bit better than Eau Sauvage, but not by much. it is much cheaper though
>Bois Imperial
spicy green woody scent. I do get some varnished wood vibes. not bad, but linear and not much to it, too minimalistic for my tastes. my mom hated it too lol, so it doesn't exactly seem like a safe blind buy crowd pleaser. it does last pretty well though

>>17147491
>might blind buy it
It is a better version of Invictus Aqua 2016.
I.e. absolutely synthetic but very pleasant and unique with crazy longevity and projection.

bros... Dior Saufage Parfum smells not as good as Elixir....

>>17147964
>as Elixir
Elixir has nothing to do with Sauvage

Anyone tried the Brioni line? Made by the creator of fahrenheit. The EDP is apparently powdery violet with some similarity with fahrenheit aqua. The intense version is supposedly the better one, fresh fruity apple on top drying to woody amber.

>>17148004
>one of the most high end brands that isn't bespoke
>bottle design looks cheap as fuck
Why do they do it

>>17144235
Nice to smell on other people but not something i'd wear personall, it's a bit too feminine. I like br540 extrait better, but i'm paying an arm and a leg for a bottle. maybe i'll buy a decant, that's a ton of wears anyway with how nuclear it is.

>>17148026
How is the extrait different?

>>17148008
it's so funny to me when bottles from super expensive brands like Roja, Creed or Bond No. 9 look cheap and tacky and get ultra mogged by 20$ Lalique fragrances

>>17148031
>20$ Lalique fragrances
I've never seen a lalique frag at that price, is it because I live in the EU?

How do you go from this based to this cringe in not even a year time?

Actually still based since it still loved by many and sold a lot, found in any parfumerie.
Very chaotic sigma parfumer. On god and no cap.

>>17148038
idk, I live in the EU too and they're all around 20-30$

>>17148048
Where are you buying them?

it's like he made the ultimate frag for confident masculine chads and then said "mmmh I should also make a frag for faggots too" hooooly what a statement, bravo Almairac

>>17148052
discounter sites like Notino

>>17148065
it costs around 60 on notino, 70 for sport

>>17148068
funny, on the Polish version of Notino EN Sport costs the equivalent of 25 euro right now (seen it go for even less in the past)

>>17148074
why do they fuck over other countries? it's weird

>>17147670
very glad to hear that i didnt make a mistake anon, looking forward to trying their other fragrances soon. which ones would you recommend for the summertime? So far ive been interested in Feminite du bois, un bois vnaille and datura noir but they all seem like they are best to wear in the winter.

>>17146480
jasmine/soap scented candle

>>17148027
The extrait smells more dense, nutty and woody. It doesnt have the same light airiness that the regular edp does. The extrait isnt leaps and bounds manlier, but just enough to make me like it more than the edp.

>>17148075
Cant answer your question, but i do know they also don't have the same things in stock for each version of their website, so maybe it has something to do with their suppliers

>>17148121
Can you order from a version of their website that isn't your own country's?

>>17148124
Hmm, i tried ordering from another EU country, and it wont allow me to select a shipping option outside of that country, so no

>>17148130
Huh, that sucks

>>17148118
The sample set only allows for four choices, aside from BR540 which would you say are most worth trying?
Anything with shitty longevity is an automatic no for me

>>17148151
I tried a few, and the ones i liked the best were br540 extrait, Grand Soir, Gentle Fluidity Silver, and oud satin mood extrait. I haven't tried all MFK frags so maybe someone else can also weigh in. I liked Amyris Homme (EDT & Extrait) but the performance is bad so not worth the price.

>>17148157
Thanks, that's good to know since I was interested in amyris actually

>>17148160
yeah it really was a shame cause that type of scent is right up my alley. Petit matin seemed like it might've been too, but it was too light of a scent.

>>17147843
I don't really know. I think it's partially psychological, but something definitely triggered it. It felt like whiffing bleach would - not instantly debilitating, but reflexively uncomfortable.

>>17148170
>that type of scent
What do you usually look for? Masculine florals?

>>17147780
Maybe, it felt the strongest after pouring but the scent that made me recoil did linger for a while afterwards, like a few hours in, albeit weaker.

>>17147229
Just picked this up, thank you based /frag/anon

>>17148183
Depends on what season i'm wearing it for. I'm interested in more florals but they're often too light, i prefer something dense like fahrenheit.

>>17146480
I tried it
linen, white flower smelling fabric softener, not very natural smelling
unless you're an absolute weeb and you need to own everything GitS I'd avoid it, and I'd certainly avoid blind buying it

Thought I would like eros flame more than eros but it's gross too. Literally smells like the perfume section of a department store, like some mishmash of a bunch of frags.

>>17148288
still better than eros

>>17148288
Eros is synthetic sweet piss water. Better go with Bois Impérial.

God damn the nutmeg in Bleu De Chanel EDT smells so smooth and delicious fuck

>>17148296
sorry, the only dusty scent i want is the smell of leftover coke in my nasal passages.

>>17147964
I'll spare you the time - none of the other Sauvages do. Only the showergel accord in the late drydown is remotely similar, but even then all Sauvages put some different notes on top, of which Elixir just has the best ones with that woody licorice.

>>17148004
I wanted to order a sample during one of my sampling rounds, of that one and the other one as well, but they were out of open bottles and cancelled my Brioni samples (along with some other samples). It sounds interesting and it isn't even as overpriced as I would have expected something from Brioni to be.

>>17148068
Which country are you in?
Notino in Germany is particularly bad, you can't go to Notino directly. You have to go to idealo.de and search for the frag, then use the referal link. Pic rel are the prices without idealo, with idealo ENAL drops to 26.90, Lion to 34.90 and Equus to 26.20€. None of these are the best prices, though, there are cheaper options available.

>>17148384
I'm from France
How come you need an idealo referral to gain access to actual low prices? That's pretty scummy

>>17148391
Don't ask me why Notino does that. Probably to scam impulse buyers.

>>17148398
Only in Germany then, I just checked idealo.fr and the prices are identical

just applied Missoni Wave deodorant under my armpits after shower for the first time
its a really good deodorant

>>17148427
Got a 30 mL of Missoni Wave I picked up at some drugstore when shopping there. Heard a lot of good things online.
Turns out it's just another boring aquatic. Banished the bottle to the basement afterwards.

>>17148487

guerlain l'homme eau boisée is great, thanks for shilling it

what kind of perfume does she wear?

>>17148534
Yeah, you're right, all aquatics are boring.
It's a lost genre, you just can't make aquatics exciting or good. No clue why they even sell them. Every time, it's the same fragrance with 10% difference to the other aquatics.

>>17148563
bois imperial. unisex art hoe classic.

>>17148515
Thank you, ordered a sample

>>17148384
I ordered samples of all three Brioni, so will come back with opinions in a week or two.

Is there ANYTHING for men that smells like apples? Yes, apples.

>>17148597
Boss Bottled maybe, but it has cinnamon on top (so more like apple pie).

>>17148601
that sounds great, thanks. my father is obsessed with things smelling like apple and his birthday is coming up

>>17148597
Dunhill Desire has a nice apple note to it. Boss Bottled, PdM Layton, and if I remember correctly Azzaro Chrome Legend has a apple note as well

>>17148498
Bentley Intense if small budget, Fahrenheit Parfum if big budget

>>17148046
He just did whatever the brand asked him to do. Perfumers don’t creative freedom outside of indie and some rare niche releases.

Anyone ever try out those "bespoke fragrance" services out there? Someone from my family wants to check one of them out with me but I'm honestly very sceptical.

are there any good azzaro chrome flankers? EDP looks good but doesn't seem to be available yet.

>>17148038
its around 20 bucks in uk and Poland. I got me extreme. my bro from uk whom o convinced is getting sport

i love this frag, so manly, woody extravagaza

>>17148597
Azzaro Wanted
>>17148616
How is desire and Legend? Interested in Visit too. I heard on yt that even though Legend is unremarkable, it's a beastly compliment getter

>>17148730
Legend is fairly average, but works as a good fresh daily driver frag. I liked it better than the original Chrome but not enough to buy myself a full bottle.
Desire is one I do own a full bottle of and its a really nice bright spring frag, heavy on the citrusy-apple and musk. Might not be a good choice as a gift for a guy that likes more masculine scents.
But of the apple frags recommended I'd go with the PdM Layton as a gift, or if you're on a budget I'd go with the Boss Bottled or Bottled Intense. They have that apple pie with vanilla ice cream vibe, really nice as a gift for someone who is casually into frags.
