always nice to see someone fighting the current status quo of overpriced pseudo-niche and luxury brands, and making newbies think twice before buying Roja or Xerjoff or some other such luxury brand

To cost to Creed, Xerjoff, PDM etc to mix, bottle and package a 100ml fragrance is $20 or less

Good fragrance to use at work? (office)
I've been using Abercrombie & Fitch Away because i tried it at the store and liked it, but it doesn't last that much

Where can I get a designer alternative to New York Intense?
As complex, long-lasting and projecting, please.

>>17174641
Nope sorry if such a thing existed it would get shilled constantly here

>>17174630
This nigga really posted a reddit thread without even one comment on Creed. I do agree everything over 100 is overpriced but don't pull numbers out of your ass

speaking of which, what're the top 10 r/fragrance essentials?

>>17174624
in my opinion, yes, it's dated.
releases like sauvage elixir are complete game changers. tastes are moving past twinkcore like in the flowchart. also even though blue fragrances are generally for retards, i think the complete exclusion of them does more harm than good. in addition to that, i don't think shit tier brands like CdG or Bentley / Ferrari should ever be recommended to anyone.

this one too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpzj4Y5Z9rY

What smells like Green Irish Tweed, but last more than 3 hours?

>>17174653
But I have both and wish that was true. Pour Monsieur isn't even close in terms of longevity and projection.

>>17174641
Lalique Pour Homme Lion is probably the closest. Guerlain Heritage is also a good pick
>>17174653
pour monsieur has horrible performance

>>17174660
GIT but resprayed from a travel atomizer after 3 hours.

>>17174660
More sprays of Green Irish Tweed

>>17174663
Enough of all your suggestions. I have obviously tried them all. I've sampled or bought everything which is supposed to be close to NYI. Nothing is.

>>17174648
eh, there's plenty of manly fougeres like sauvage elixir in the flowchart though
Bentley and Ferrari are some of the most famous cheapies and they should stay for that reason. I'd delete shit like Le Labo, Margiela or Xerjoff personally if anything - no need to give more attention to mediocre pseudo-niche brands, they get enough from paid-off youtubers already

>>17174670
well, just wear NYI then. it's not that expensive anyway, it's not like Roja where you have to be an oligarch or genuinely mentally ill to want to buy it

>>17174673
I have all fougeres from the chart except for Sartorial and Gentiluomo. Nothing is close to Sauvage Elixir. I doubt anything in that chart can replicate the licorice showergel feel from Elixir. I'm also not sure if it fits the chart in any way, since it's pretty much still more of a blue ambrox oriental than a classic fougere.(my opinion).

>>17174678
That's what I do, but I just wanted to refute >>17174620

>>17174662
>>17174663
Concentree? I had it a few years ago and it lasted pretty long on me.

I'm excited to see what the new perfume trends will be. I think the reign of blue frags is nearing its end, with Sauvage becoming so overused and designers searching for something new that will be the next big thing (as seen with Sauvage Elixir or H24)

>>17174691
I only have PM and PM EdP, to which Concentree is supposed to be close to. The most important thing here is that NYI is not really a chypre fragrance, but instead walks the line between chypre and fougere. It's start of more like a chypre frag and then turns into a fougere, with a few hours where it lingers inbetween. PM and PM EdP are very obvious chypres and almost prototypical of the genre, but they lack the complexity and development of NYI.

>>17174693
i think the new trend is going to be deep / complex masculine. instead of blue, it'll be dark green. no one wants molecule-type fragrances anymore. expect a lot of dihydromyrcenol.

>>17174703
lol that just sounds like Drakkar Noir is going to be in again
I'm not complaining though, I already have a bottle. I am prepared for this possiblity

I think you're dismissing molecular frags a bit too easily though, with Dior Homme 2020 and H24 it seems like designers are eager to push airy molecular frags after the success of things like Molecule 01

>>17174709
keep in mind that Le Labo's AnOther 13 came out in 2010, santal 33 in 2011. molecule 01 came out in 2006. that's a really long time ago. you smell molecule 01 and santal 33 literally everywhere if you live in a major city. they're already waning in popularity so there would be no reason for a designer to try to tap into that market. DH2020 and H24 were also basically failures.

>>17174718
>DH2020 and H24 were also basically failures
I wonder what the sales figures were on those two

>>17174541
>>17174545
Who are you to decide what is a “part of the OP”?

>>17174609
>2020

>>17174727
I just don't want to see more autistic shit-flinging over it. I do support the overall message though

>>17174732
But it’s you who start the “autistic shit-flinging” here. Also who are you to decide what and in what way people can talk about here? You’re not a thread moderator

>>17174729
the newest fragrance on that chart is from 4 years ago

>>17174738
Then add your Bois Imperial somewhere in between and stfu already

>>17174670
>>17174641
Turin probably calls it “the single best masculine fragrance currently available” for a good reason.

>>17174729
There are multiple discontinued and now expensive frags.on the chart, nobody wants to do the work to replace them.
What's the point when somone looks up one of the start here frags like Bvlgari black and its $150 for 50ml on ebay?

>>17174746
it's not that much work though, just an hour in paint or something.
what's even discontinued? Black, Dior Homme, Pure Havane, anything else?

I think the flowchart is useful personally, I had fun using it. just needs a small update, no need to just stop using it

>>17174755
>it's not that much work though, just an hour in paint or something.
Be my guest friend

>>17174564
That's the production cost, the actual development cost is many times more than that, add in marketing and you start to see why most frags lose money. Creed, Xerjoff etc. are tremendously overpriced, but there are other factors than just cost per ml to produce

>>17174755
Beau de Jour
Kouros
Moustache EdP
Mugler Cologne
Dior Homme Cologne
Prada L'Homme

>>17174757
I mean, I'm not a god of paint, but I might as well do it... feel free to tell me what's discontinued though and maybe some suggestions for replacements

Dior Homme I would replace with Dior Homme Intense, since it's more widely available than DHO and most people seem to prefer it anyway
Pure Havane could be replaced with Bogart Pour Homme or Ck One Shock
not sure about Black though... CH Men Prive or something?

>>17174769
lol

Stop buying Creed until Blackrock sells their shares.

>>17174771
no you're an idiot and shouldn't waste your time making a new chart. your opinions are way off.

>>17174727
The OP should be impartial and not used to tell anons what brands to buy and not to buy. That leads to thread splits and everybody being mad because of it.

>>17174771
We had a decent discussion about it the last time it got brought up but i forget what was mentioned, i guess swap dh for dh original. But i can't thing of what else to use for bvlgari

>>17174774
if you have any better suggestions feel free to share, instead of bitching in a non-constructive way

>>17174785
This thread shouldn't be free marketing for overpriced mastige brands and should provide options for peope who want to dig into actually indy brands
Right now whenever someone asks about niche some retard starts shilling pdm and xerjoff

>>17174790
you mean like dismissively replying to a post with "lol?"

>>17174796
>thinks pdm and jerkoff aren’t niche
hi, newfag!

You make a new flow chart and it won't be long before more frags on it are discontinued and we're right back to anons bitching that it's outdated.
And all the discontinued frags on the current flowchart can be viewed in places like fragrantica so it isn't as if there's no reference for them for anons to use. It really isn't a buying guide, so outdated frags shouldn't be an issue

>>17174800
I thought you were joking... are Kouros, L'Homme and Beau de Jour really discontinued, or is this one of those "L'oreal frag is out of stock again" discountinuation scares? I still see them at stores all the time.

>>17174809
or it can just stop being used because it accomplishes nothing

>>17174796
If you want to provide options (i.e. your opinions) then do so on your own time with your own posts. You start doing that with the OP and /frag/ will turn into /wt/ with constant brand shit flinging and thread splits.

>>17174814

It's this and BdJ, L'Homme and Kouros are available (at least in Europe). Didn't bother to check the other ones, but those are the ones of which I know they are available.

>>17174895
Availability in the US might be a concern though, otherwise I agree 100%.

Thanks anon. Eventually we’ll find something like Hattric classic. I recently started wearing guerlain imperial again and it has some similarity to Hattric. Though it’s a completely different fragrance. I’ll have to do a side by side to get a better idea

have you ever worn it? it's good.

Why aren't you wearing Bois Imperial RIGHT NOW?

Damn op really is the BI schizo. Wild
makes sense they are both obsessive contorl freaks

>>17174941
I have mine on a tray on top of my dresser, my oldest is about 12 years and it still smells better than the reformulation. I think the whole heat degradation thing is more "keep it out of direct sun, don't leave it in the car uncapped for days, etc."

depressive frags for daytime that are not encre noire?

>>17174983
Waiting for delivery

>>17174986
OP here. I tried BI and I didn't really like it.

Gentlemen, I think I finally found my signature fragrance after having sampled a lot of shit. I will now be leaving this thread. Farewell, everybody.

>>17174958
Oh, I tried this woman frag at the airport. Disgusting and old ladyish. I'm so done with you 3 autists calling putrid shitass frags good. You are snobs trying to look refined for liking something terrible smelling. You are not refined and you smell of ass wearing them.

>he pronounces it "acqua di geo"
opinion instantly discarded

>>17174936
you need to work on your reading comprehension and IQ. Neroli Intense isn't available in the US, thus it's availability is a concern, because the majority of us are American, or at least the shit that passes for American these days

which is why it's not ideal to be in the flowchart.

>>17175019
it's pronounced "geeò". How else would your anglo ass pronounce it?

>>17175025
no one cares about the chart. it shouldn't be a thing.
>>17175039
"acqua di jo"

Dylan Blue/CK One for daytime/warm weather and Le Male™ Le Parfum for the evening/cold weather
Eros or Sauvage for parties/Clubs

Thats it. Literally all you need.
Maybe add in a wildcard if you get bored like Spicebomb Extreme or Versace Eros Flame™ or D&G The One™.

And thats it
All you need
There is no need for niche fragrances or whatever the fuck... Boys imperial? Greed aventus? Jerkoff KitFisto Gentiles? The fuck?

I thought we were all discussing Neroli Intense by Jeanne en Provence, which is very cheap and thus would make sense to replace the (also cheap) Ferrari Bright Neroli. $67 for 30mL isn't the right replacement.

>>17175018

It’s the greenest shit I’ve ever tried. I thought green meant like vetiver type stuff before I tried it and it’s like taking the stem of a flower and smashing it in between your fingers. It reminded me of bugs and was making me wretch.

>>17175294
it does calm down into more of a meadow with flowers type of deal after a while
but yeah, the opening is green as fuck from all the galbanum

Does Parfums de Nicolaï offer free samples if you email them, or are you forced to buy their discovery kit? There is not a single retailer in my country that sells from that house, but i would love to try em out.

>>17175222
No, I agree with him. I won’t criticize you for liking it but you fags reccomend frags without even acknowledging that they might be off putting and divisive. A newfag will like Dior Homme and you’ll tell hint I try Lapidus Pour Homme

>>17175294
*retch

>>17175304
no one was recomending no. 19 to a newbie here though
what, are we supposed not to talk about the frags we like because some newfag who only likes PR Phantom and Sauvage might see that post and sperg out?
fuck that. go write in Jeremy's youtube comments if you get triggered whenever someone mentions something that isn't a "top 10 compliment getting mass-pleasing versatile fragrance of 2022"

>>17174958
how does this compare to the Parfum?

In a drawer in the living room. Nobody sees them, they don't get exposed to light, mostly steady climate.

>>17174993
I think someone once suggested something from BeauFort London, but I don't remember the frag.

>>17175127
Neroli Intense, Sung Homme, Club 75, Marbert Homme.
All cheapies, because I don't blind-buy expensive stuff.

>>17175139
I was. I was talking about Jeanne en Provence Neroli Intense. It would be a good replacement for Bright Neroli, but if it's not available in the US, it kinda sucks to include it in the chart. It's just unfortunate that Nicolai has such an offering as well, which is why some anons might have gotten confused.

>>17175301
I'd just ask. I was planning on e-mailing them about the discovery kit, because I want to try Amber Oud and I don't need a New York Intense sample, since I own a full bottle. Was hoping to get it swapped out or tossed in with it. Usually they will probably ask you to buy the discovery kit first, since what you want is the entire purpose of the kit.

>>17175354
Certainly less incense-y than the other two versions.

not everyone has the same taste in frags as you, greg. your tastes will most likely change too you've tried something more than 30 designer frags on paper strips, it happens to most people
that being said, I like TdH Intense Vetiver, Dunhill Icon and The Dreamer from your favorites

>>17175580
Amouage Beach Hut Man
Tom Ford Black Orchid and especially Tom Ford Black Orchid Parfum
You will literally be in same frag prison for day and half.

>>17175580
Just longevity or longevity+projection? Many of the faux-niche frags will have quite some longevity, because it's usually their only justification for their ridiculous prices.
If you want designers or niche stuff, here's some from my collection:

maybe we're not so different after all

Just layered Cool Water with Bleu de Chanel, AMA.

Hello, I have a question.

I'm looking to explore more fragrances (I'm new to the game) and I'd just like to buy a small discovery set to vibe with at home. My local online store has the following discovery sets to offer:

Les Eaux Primordiales
diptyque
Memo Paris
Floraïku
Escentric Molecules (Art & Chemistry Discovery Set)
Escentric Molecules (M+ Discovery Set)

Everything else seems out of stock at the moment or a bit too expensive. Do you guys have anything to recommend, or maybe I should check out something else? Open to any suggestions about discovery sets I should look into. I live in Europe btw.

I'm a 24 year old male that tries hard to appear somewhat artsy and classy, but I don't know much about fragrances. I wear Dior Homme 2020 and I like it but I would like something more adventurous.

Thanks for any advice. My attached image was made with the Dall-E AI.

>>17175675
diptyque has some nice frags. escentric molecules is a meme brands, you can make their frags at home for 1/10th of the cost if you want to do some basic DYI
you could try the imaginary authors or essential parfums discovery sets too. or just get a bunch of samples that sound interesting to you. doesn't hurt to try stuff out IRL, even at Sephora you can find some interesting stuff hidden among all the generic blue frags and invictus wannabees if you know where to look

>>17175645
haha. I love fahrenheit, of all the frags I have tried it is the closest thing to a "signature" frag, even though I don't see myself always wearing it here.
It just love the violet and the leather, it's floral but masculine and intense, it's the smell of SEX. I love everything about that frag, from the name to the bottle and its reputation.
Really wish I could think the same for every 80ies powerhouse, as they are always the best performing designer frags. PRPH is interesting, but I still prefer Sung, which I guess smells dated too.

>>17175608
Which other tom fords have good longevity?
How good is Marc Antoine Barrois' whole line performance wise?

How to summon a succubus

>just smells like generic blue shower gel
i mean, its not unpleasant, but its so fucking boring how is this so highly regarded

hey Fragrance General!

came here last year and someone suggested Burberry London and i realy like it!
where do i go from here? is there something perhaps a little more subtle
thanks!

>>17175708
Have you tried the Guerlain and Caron masculine classics? What are your thoughts on heritage, vetiver, habit rouge, le3, and Caron pour homme?
Sotd Guerlain heritage. I love the Mysore sandalwood in the vintage bottles.

>>17175734
What do you like about it? Maybe try guerliain vetiver. It still have the tobacco notes but the vetiver freshens it up for summer.

>>17175777
oh lucky Sevens!
i will try that for sure ty.
is there something thats very earthy as a contrast? if im ordering than might aswell not just one fragrance. Or something that smells like rain? something less sweet perhaps

>>17175773
I improperly tried Guerlain Vetiver, will have to go over it again (I now know where to try it at least).
I only found vetiver and the l'homme ideal line (a bit meh), not much more. I'll check again.
never found Caron either, it's on the list of frags to try. Maybe I'll drive to a big enough city in a few days, hopefully I can try some frags then. God I love sampling.

Do you own all the guerlains and Caron? Which Carons should I sample the most? Thinking yatagan and Pour un Homme, anything else noteworthy?

>>17175734
chergui, tobacco vanille, eau des baux and bogart pour homme are in a similar sweet tobacco genre
none of them are particularly "subtle" though, they're all loud and sweet. check out the "oriental" and "amber" categories of fragrances if you want more in that style
>>17175777
bizarre recc, they smell nothing alike at all

>>17175797
actually Guerlain Vetiver is kind of earthy and damp smelling too, and not sweet at all. be warned though that it's a very old school scent that's nothing like what most people wear nowadays

>>17175805
oh dude my first bottle as a 14 year old was TABAC i can live with smelling like the best generation

>>17175800
I own full bottles of all the classic masculines. I forgot about yatagan. This is also a very nice one that gets overlooked. If you can, sample the big three of each.
>Guerlain
Heritage, habit rouge, vetiver
>Caron
Pour homme, le, yatagan
Caron le3 is sort of like Caron pour homme with added complexity. I still find Caron pour homme an easier reach for most occasions. Caron pour homme might be my most worn fragrance. It just smells fresh and clean.

>>17175397

>>17175813
mmmh the prominent castoreum note dissuades me from yatagan. The rest look very interesting. Have you tried the sport version and yuzu man? I think I would sample all these 4, maybe I should...

has anyone actually trialled nights with and without fragrance? do you get anything extra other than a "you smell nice" every now and again? i don't think those comments are worth a couple of hundred dollars

>>17175827
Haven’t tried yuzu man but have been tempted to blind buy it because it’s cheap and sounds nice. Give yatagan a try, it’s not as anamalic as it sounds. Smells like the pine forest to me. I really like the Caron pour homme leau. The sport I have too but it’s not my style, but wear it occasionally throughout the summer.

yeah, it's not even a top-5 blue fragrance to me. it's not offensive, it's just nothing. this is when i knew the youtube influencers were completely full of shit.

I'm currently wearing cool water on one wrist and GIT on the other and they smell nothing alike. Fucking noselets

>>17175734
In case you want a similar vibe, but not a similar smell, try Chopard Oud Malaki and Amber Malaki. Just to recommend something that hasn't been mentioned yet.

>>17175802
These are good recs, but dodge Bogart Pour Homme.

>>17175840
Why even make an effort at all, right?

>>17175922
I second this. They aren't as similar as some people have recently said.

>>17175840
it's not about compliments.
you don't wear a nice watch because of compliments. you wear it because you like it.

i put on ADG Absolu last evening and still smelled it pretty strongly in the morning. extremely impressive for a warm weather fragrance. morillas bros stay winning.

>>17175840
no fragrance will make you significantly more attractive to women, just like no clothes will do it
smelling nice is something you do for yourself, just like dressing nice. the best thing it will do is boost your self-esteem though

I've got a label-less sample from sephora here that literally smells like some kind of cake
It's very sweet, creamy, there's probably some vanilla in there
What could it be?

>>17175926
GIT smells so much more refined and classy it's not even funny. Now CW just smells like cheap shit to me

>>17175975
they're both cheap shit
>>17175939
probably stronger with you

>>17175976
GIT smells amazing, you're just a contrarian

>>17174729

Isn't this one supposed to be one of those sexy date scents? It smells overly sweet and cheap

welcome to modern sexy date / clubbing scents, most of them are sugary and cheap-smelling

>>17176006
>most of them
Not all? Which ones are good?

>>17176008
Dior Homme Intense / Parfum is nice
Moustache EDP is pretty nice as well, as far as things hyped as a date scent go

>>17176037
I odon't get the deal with dior and all the flankers
DHO, DHI, DHP, the 2011 versions, which ones are worth trying and which ones aren't?

>>17176059
quick rundown:
>Dior Homme Original
this used to be called Dior Homme. it's the classic with which the line began. lighter and less sweet than Intense, a bit more summer-appropriate maybe. limited availability right now
>Dior Homme Intense
sweeter, stronger flanker with ambrette. more popular than the original at this point and the easiest to get out of the original iris-heavy Dior Homme DNA
>Dior Homme Parfum
an even stronger, heavier, more complex version with a lot more leather + rose and sandalwood. a bit less sweet than Intense with hilarious longevity. my favorite from the line, though Intense is close. limited availability

the new Dior Homme, released 2020 and anything released in the line after it is a completely different scent with no iris

>>17176081
thanks
>new Dior Homme
So the DHI and DHP versions are gonna get phased out too?

>>17175988

how original and witty, closeted faggot

>>17176084
no one really knows, but they did go through the trouble of putting them in new bottles in 2020, so I think they'll keep them around for some time at least
Dior does tend to keep around many older frags that I'm sure don't sell as well as Dior Homme Intense. for example, Eau Sauvage Extreme, Dune Pour Homme and Higher

the Parfum seems to be sold out in most places right now though so who knows, maybe it is discontinued. or maybe the hype just increased the demand past their expectations, who knows

>>17176178
>Dune Pour Homme
Is that one good?

>>17176198
is black afgano your favourite nasomatto fragrance? i just ordered samples of 4 of theirs, already tried afgano - i loved it

>>17176156
I hope others see the humor in this. The metrosexual (faggot?) that wears lipstick scented frags is calling me a closeted faggot for not liking lipstick scented frags.

>>17175911
Smells like blunts. Not very good

>>17175717
Oud minerale. Almost too strong, or my nose is sensitive to whatever chemical they use.

>>17176207
This. I also find that most shilled blue frags or frags with apple smell unbearable synthetic. There're mostly forgettable.
My favorite freshies are Fahrenheit or Kenzo Intense.

Know the difference it could save lifes.

>>17176215
keep seething, fruitcake

>>17176224
you should try Amouage portrayal man. I like it better than Fahrenheit for my fix of violet. only 150 on fragrance net. I still want to try Kenzo intense, but can only find it overseas for like $100 and I feel like it'll be too similar to bois, like all of Quintens akigalawood frags are. I love bois though.

>>17176220
Personally I love it, it captures a luxurious vacation on a pacific island resort in a bottle.

>>17176230
>Amouage portrayal man

Dude i literally playing with the idea to hit the trigger with Portrayal, but i skipped with because i already own Fahrenheit amd it lacks the leather.
Please give a quick rundown on Portrayal, is it similar fresh-green and petrol-leathery like Fahrenheit?

Yeah, Bois Imperial is really good, it could also be a summer scent on it's own.
My best advice is to sample Kenzo Intense, it has a peppery sour gherkin note in the with the akigalawood, could be challenging.
I like the Dior Homme line too, by the way.

>>17176234
Dance of the Knights was used in the Platinum Egoiste commercial, so it makes me think of that frag more than anything else
I do agree it would fit Antaeus more though

>>17176246
Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre would also be fitting for Antaeus. Any classical with a dark and majestic vibe.

>>17176245
I haven't smelled it in forever so can't really give you a good description of it, but its definitely way cleaner like Ganymede to bois imperial. There's something in Fahrenheit that makes me nauseated sometimes and Portrayal doesn't have that. I can't really handle darker/sweeter fragrances.

GIT's longevity is abysmal.

>>17176250
true, but it doesn't seem Chadly enough to me
maybe this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow8Hq8U2ZcQ

>>17176272
Yes, that's just dramatic enough. Some parts of Der Ring des Nibelungen would be fitting too.
I wish I could wear Antaeus but my gigachad father who is also my boss wears it to work already

Rate my order. After discount total is £200 or $240.

I've heard girls love jazz club, maybe I'll finally lose my virginity haha. Spicebomb is a good winter frag apparently and Eros is a safe crowd-pleaser with good performance.

>>17176212
You need to try Megamare from Orto Parisi it's a separate brand by the same perfumer. Its an incredible oceanic scent made out of some ludicrously expensive fragrance molecules

>>17176283
What else from Orto Parisi is worth trying?
>incredible oceanic scent
I'm not the guy you replied to but I've been disappointed with almost every aquatic I've tried.

>>17176282
I tried jazz club a few months ago, at first I thought I loved it and then I realized I was smelling the part of my arm where I had sprayed voyage d'hermes edp and that the part where I sprayed jazz club smelled extremely generic and boring. Disappointing imo
Spicebomb is very good, Spicebomb extreme is sweeter if that's your thing. Never tried Eros

Doesn't invalidate what I said. I personally don't think it's anything special, maybe women like it but that's not going to make me buy and wear a frag I dislike
If a girl likes you she'll think your frag smells good anyway, unless you're wearing some weird niche shit

>>17176282
>eros 200ml
i would never buy this much smell juice of anything, specially something so mediocre
jazz club is nice though

>>17176307
Then why are you asking people on here for opinions instead of just making a compilation of the frags that come up most frequently on youtube top 10 lists and ordering that?

>>17176300

Jazz club. Alright, have kind of a coconut smell to me. Not a smokey jazz club. Bad performance.

Snicebomb. Pretty good. Should have good performance.

Eros. Alright, but kinda a gay club part scent. Used to have good performance, possibly bad nowadays.

It's a 7/10 master piece compliment pulling affordable modern crowd pleasing niche fragrance by young master perfumer Quentin Bisch who also created it's vig brother and award winning fragrance Ganymede.

>>17176410
The perfect combination of being different enough to be interesting but safe enough to be mass appealing and able to wear everyday. Plus it’s cheap. Bisch is the best new perfumer of the 2010s

bros i usually spray 4-5 sprays (nape, neck, chest) of various colognes and nobody ever seems to notice.
Am i doing something wrong here? I was under the guidance that if i smell my own cologne i put too much
I dont mean this in an attention-seeking way, I was just curious since I haven't gotten a comment yet

>>17176436
I also really like fresh woody stuff and it’s like a fresher version of Ganymede for 130 dollars less

>>17176442
>I was under the guidance that if i smell my own cologne i put too much
This is wrong
But it depends entity on the colonge. With one that i have i cant use.more than two sprays without choking out a room, with another i can do 10 sprays and its still pretty light.
Then again people complimenting you on your colonge is a meme and not something you should worry about. It's better to underspray than overspray. But i can usually catch whiffs of what im wearing all day.

>>17175975
I wouldn't go that far. I still love CW for what it is, although it's certainly less expensive smelling compared to GIT. CW doesn't smell cheap to me, though. It's still above that.

>>17176215
They say "takes one to know one", so maybe he's right? And how do you know that guy actually wears Dior Homme frags and isn't just annoyed with your repetitive shitposting?

>>17176282
>Spicebomb Extreme
Very important: If you get batchcucked by L'Oreal and this supposed "beast mode" fragrance is a long-lasting skin-close scent at best, send it back. They reformulated it in some way or some batches outright suck.
>Jazz Club
My gf likes it, I think it's mediocre. You're right about girls liking it in general. I don't know why.
>Eros
Vanilla bile. Skip.
>maybe I'll finally lose my virginity
Not a chance in hell.

>>17176410
It's not everyone, it's just very repetitive posting from very very few individuals.

>>17176449
>Then again people complimenting you on your colonge
right i should clarify, I just wanted to make sure my cologne is actually doing its job and that other people can smell the cologne.

>>17176453
I guess it smells cheap to me because I'm alternating between smelling my CW wrist and my GIT wrist. Now CW has completely faded (predictably) and GIT has become a skin scent so I'm disappointed in the latter as well. Too bad, I love that scent dna but I'm not going to shell out niche prices for something with such mediocre longevity.

>>17176454
Ask one of you buddies at work, just be like hey im not stinking up the place my my colonge right? and see what they say.

>>17176442
Nothing is powerful anymore, nothing lasts, everything is diluted and reformulated to death. Grab that bottle. Apply 40 sprays. You are allowed to buy a second bottle to dual-wield your frags to get to 40 sprays twice as fast.

>>17176449

>>17176465

Encre noir al extemememe

>>17176442
How the fuck is anyone else going to smell it if you can't smell it? Granted you don't go nose blind.
You need to double tap on every spot if you don't have beast mode frag.
2x each side of neck and maybe one in the back. At least two on the chest so you get it on the clothes.
I only spray arms to test fragrances.

Personally I'll usually do 4-6 on the collar bone areas and maybe one back of neck.

>>17176471
Ah damn, I have that one, even one of the older formulations. It's long-lasting and does project quite well, but it still doesn't fill a room when I wear it. Maybe I need to wear it again, now that the bottle has been sitting for a while.

>>17176478
It does seem like it's very much luck of the draw and depends you your particular sensitivity to the aroma chems in it. Some people say it only lasts 10 minutes and others say its unbearably stong. There is probably also some significant batch variation fuckery going on as well since loreall is involved now

>>17176465
>I'm gonna need a name, chief.
Couldn't imagine doing more than two sprays with any of the MFK Extraits

idk if jazz club was just bad on my skin, but it smelled like vintage old man disgusting to me. I dont understand it. it smelled like hazelnuts and this dark melange of awful notes with a mothball undertone.

>bros i usually spray 4-5 sprays (nape, neck, chest) of various colognes and nobody ever seems to notice
1-2 sprays is plenty. they might be too polite/embarrassed to give away how they feel about it. compliments are usually an invitation to more dialogue so maybe they just don't want to talk to you. and for you all know, people could be talking about it behind your back

>>17176517
Versace Eros Flame.

>>17176282
>Thinking £200 still equates to $240

>>17176410
It’s just a really good scent and that’s why it’s so popular. It’s great value and easy to wear, despite being unique. Easy to wear in the sense that people enjoy it.

When a scent is “hard to wear”, it basically means that a lot of people are not going to like it but some people will love it. For example, Tom Ford Black Orchid.

Ignore the schizo who claim it’s just one guy shilling BI pretending to be different people. He calls other people a schizo but he is in fact the schizo.

You've replied this same way to multiple people calling you a schizo you fucking fagget

Shut the fuck up. There must be a dozen people or more here that have a bottle or tried it.

There's no schizo, just one good fragrance, a /frag/ general, anons with a passion for frags

>>17176626
Have you even tried BI? Why are you getting so emotional over an inoffensive fresh fragrance that is also good value?

>>17176651
>There's no schizo
No, there's one attention whoring histronic faggot that samefags 90 percent of all the BI posts on a board with zero moderation and disrails every thread he posts in so everyone will pay attention to him. There's no schizo, just one lying worthless piece of shit that wastes everyone's time.

>>17176699
Who hurt you anon? You seem to have difficulty accepting that different people have different opinions and that’s ok. The flavour of the week just happens to be Bois Imperial and people like talking about it, for good reason. Do you actually have anything positive to contribute, a fragrance that is similar vibe to BI but better?

>>17176699
Did you even tried Bois Impérial? It's from the same master perfumer guy Quentin Bisch who created the award winning fragrance Ganymede. Ganymede is overall a pure joy, the spray is wide, very fine, gives you alot of juice without stain your clothes. The top notes makes me smile, yesterday i smelled the bottle on the cap and i cried out that this shit makes me so damn horny out of the window.

SOTD Sauvage Elixir.
It's not hot enough outside for this stuff yet, it smells too clean in the drydown. At 24°C, I should have chosen something a bit less fresh and more warm. Gonna give Gucci Intense Oud a chance tomorrow, a bit of oud and smoke can't hurt anyone in 27°C weather.

Good luck. Are you shrinking your collection, or buying them wholesale for a profit? Is poshmark the best place to do that compared to ebay or something?

Lucky me normalfags have no clue this frag even exists. Perfect for office wear as it is inoffensive, but still smells quite nice and wholesome. Good for spring / summer too, fall as well. Not the standard citrus bomb or blue scent, but a more of a refined "warmer" scent that melds well with warmer or cooler weather. Who gives a fuck about the backstory, it works for me and I like it.

What do you use for you fragrances when you travel?

>>17176243
What was it? What’d it get deleted

>>17176951
Shrinking my collection. And yeah, my sister bought and sold a lot of designer shit on Poshmark and you can actually view your buyer and their profile unlike on eBay where it could be some random faggot.

Tobacco Vanille is considerably more expensive than other TF private collection like the Noir De Noir I purchased in store.

I got a 100ml Noir de Noir for around $500 AU, but a 50ml of tobacco vanille is like $600 AU. Crazy.

Is tobacco vanille worth the hype?

anything like Platinum Egoiste but a bit more modern?

>>17175467
That's what I thought, don't know why that guy thought we were talking about something other than Jeanne en Provence Neroli Intense.I guess the name did it but yes, as a replacement on the guide it wouldn't make sense

Honestly, should 4711 be part of the guide? it's really cheap and really simple.A giant bottle of it costs as much as 50mL of a cheap fragrance. I use it as a cologne and aftershave. I put it in an atomizer and use it as a spray on hand sanitizer or for cleaning things (where applicable). I even add it to cheap unscented lotion and it transforms the lotion into something that feels much more luxuriant. Not a bad beginner recommendation.

>>17175708
how dated is Sung?

>>17175734
glad you liked it anon
my advice would be to refrain from blind buying large bottles.You can buy a bunch of small samples to see what you like best and then buy a bottle of your favorite one

>>17175936
yeah, it's nice but it's not going to impress people that much. Although I do admit I love when a girl wears perfume and they walk past. If I already find them attractive it is really nice.

>>17175975

There are so many Tom Ford frags, which ones are worth trying?

>>17177235
At best you can try At the Barber's by Maison Margiela, but if Platinum Egoiste smells outdated to you, you probably shouldn't try to find something more modern.

>>17177430
Thing is, Ferrari Bright Neroli wasn't really that expensive and had actual "fragrance lasting power", if that makes sense. 4711 is nice, but a footnote at best when it comes to using it as an actual fragrance. It's possible to mention it below the neroli frag, though.
