i cant wait for my fragrance to arrive!

>>17186669
I LIKE DHI BUT THE GUY SPERGING OUT DEFENDING DHI IN THE LAST THREAD IS INDEED THE FAGGOT. Thank you for listening!

>>17186685
i know that feel

buy all the armani code flankers while you can

Is there any reason to purchase any fragrance other than Green Irish Tweed?

Anyone tried stuff from Musicology?

and >>17186669 post the fucking guides retard

Reminder to support real independent and niche perfumery and not fake conglomerate owned "niche" bullshit

what did teen spirit smell like anyway

>>17186707
are they discontinuing all of them?

>>17186740
nothing confirmed but they're switching the bottle design and in the press release only mentioned edt, edp and parfum

Reminder to support BISCH

Only if he’s racist like based JP Guerlain

Why does no one her like creed?

>>17186727
its all the same, at the end it always goes into some millionaires/billionaires pocket

>>17186794
fake history, pretentious, overpriced, hyped by normies

>>17186801
plus inconsistent batches so someone with the best batch will be paying the same price as someone with the worst

>Arabians Tonka arrived Wednesday
>Did the usual 3 spritzes, immediate regret as its so overpowering
>Dad visits today
>"Smells like a Turkish Brothel in here"
The amount of power and reach this fucker has is outstanding, absolutely going into the rotation.
its been two days and it still refuses to leave

>>17186797
Thats why i buy frags from indy perfumers, their formula costs are frequently really high and they are just some middle class dude. The idea that threre is no difference between buying from creed and buying from some indy like prin or bogue is ridiculous

>>17186743
>and in the press release only mentioned edt, edp and parfum
i already have the edp. I don't know whether I should buy another one like profumo or absolu

>>17186835
>their formula costs are frequently really high
how come ? tom ford buys his ingredients for like 2$ a bottle
how much do you think indy perfumers spend on that shit ?

Posted in the last thread. Any recs for some decent feminine leaning frags? The thing on fragbuy said I might like Tommy Girl.

>>17186863
Frequently because they indys actually use a large amout of natural ingredients. When dior or tom ford says a fragrance has natural french lavender in it it means the entire batch has 10 grams of extract in it and the rest is synthetic lavender aromachems. When an indy uses lavender they just use lavender extract they don't just put a few drops in for advertising reasons.
Im not sure why this surprises you, you think a guy making a few hundred bottles at a time is getting the same bulk discounts on ingredients that tom ford is?

>>17186888
If they're getting a bulk discount on ingredients, wouldn't it make more sense that the big company would use more of it while the little guy has to use it far more sparingly and cut it with cheaper shit?

>>17186903
Nope, only makes sense in your head
In my experience its the exact opposite of reality with tom ford frags having a formula cost of 2% of msrp and indys having a formula cost of 50% msrp
Indys don't have shareholders demanding that every penny be squeezed out of the business and the people running them actually care about perfumery.

sample rebottlers must be making a killing considering they probably send fake shit, on top of the markup already being insane

>>17186871
Hermes Hiris, it has OP's favorite iris :3
also must the cartier, acqua di gioia, light blue

is this worth a blind buy on a deal if I like woody, musk and musk fragrances? it has all 3 apparently

>>17186984
why the fuck would you blind buy a 300$ fragrance when you could just get a sample or decant for a couple of bucks like a normal person?

>>17187017
Blind buying is my niche. It’s just what I do to inject some thrill seeking in my life

>>17186966
I'm more a fan of fruity and sweet than florals. I already have light blue forever, so I feel like I don't need the femme version.

Favourite iris fragrances besides the DH line, Prada L'homme, or Valentino Uomo?

>>17187070
I get quite a lot of iris in Shalimar

>>17186768
He was deemed a bad goy and fined. He was fined so much he was forced to sell the family business to the Jews.

>>17187070
The Dreamer. Because I can't smell iris in it.

Guerlain vetiver because I can’t smell iris in it.

Kek i get it, its an acquired taste. Reminds me of my childhood though, so I love it.

I got a sample of Hacivat and it smell like if Zoologist did a take on Aventus, The pineapple in the opening is ok but then it smells like cat litter.

Anyone into snuff tobacco? I think if you are a fan of nicotine and fragrances you need to try this shit. Not only will you not smell like shit anymore but you get an energizing nicotine kick and also nice smells. Also SUPER cheap and it's not even taxed in the UK

they reformulated it, its weaker now. if you want full on kitty litter, ill suggest the lips.

close to midnight has caught my eye a few times before, might blind buy since I like the notes

>>17187241
lurk more before buying anything

>>17187241
RP was pretty cool when i smelled it, I was surprised at how much i liked rose de chine tho. i think thats the one. Anyway, i have a sample of noir extreme parfum on the way, so well see how that goes. ebene was ok for me, i thought it would be more bold, ill have to smell it again, but im glad you found something you like.

>>17186669
I have Bois Imperial spring and summer. What should I get for fall and winter? Thinking of something spicy woody

Need some fall and winter suggestions. I plan on buying TF noire extreme. Want to buy a couple more as well in the coming months.

Pic is me in winter attire and yes I have shaved since this was taken

>>17187279
The pube beard still deserves a mention

Guerlain vetiver extreme is awesome. Best vetiver fragrance I’ve ever tried.

>>17187279
>TF noire extreme
do not buy a tom ford please

> Want to buy a couple more as well in the coming months.
well what do you enjoy? gourmandish vanillas? aura sublime by bijon, nishane by ani and grand soir are good picks

as for other fragrances, this depends on your preferences so you need to fill out some gaps about yourself

>Pic is me in winter attire
invest in a gym membership, study basic biomechanics and nutrition, get a nice haircut, get some basic oxfords and pants and then look into a fragrance

catty dickheads

>>17187295
I bought oud minerale and is one of my biggest fragrance purchase regrets. There’s a synthetic smell that I didn’t notice while sampling but now it lingers every time I wear it.

>>17187279
i would recommend against posting any images of yourself because 4channers take out their insecurities on people

>>17187260
>>17187263
Don’t like it. Too dusty
>>17187260
Is the hdp just the one that smells like spicebomb? I’ll check out the Armani. The Fredric Malle is too expensive. Looking to spend under 160

>>17187300
what is 'catty' about this? you cannot post a picture of yourself and simply ask for suggestions; tell us what you ENJOY (is it a coffee? desserts? the smell of green tea?) and for what purposes you look a fragrance for (wearing sauvage to a retail job is much different from looking a fragrance to wear at concerts or dates)

>>17187308
>Is the hdp just the one that smells like spicebomb?

very highly doubt it, 1828 is closer to an eucalyptus fougere than any shitbomb

the Armani is a hidden gem but has tea on top

>>17187309
i'm not him you dickhead
stop insulting people

>>17187312
It must be 1899 then. I haven’t really liked any of the hdp I’ve tried.

>>17187315
I never implied you were him but my message was targeted to all newfags who ask for a suggestion as if it was some sort of tabula rasa-process

>stop insulting people
if you would consider insulting anything posted towards him you need to get the fuck off the internet my friend

>>17187322
post yourself

>>17187327
why would I post myself when I'm here to provide help to someone asking for fragrance suggestions? I don't know why you are projecting your own insecurities to some random on the internet; reminding people that a fragrance won't fix your other flaws is a very generic thing to say - it doesn't have the associations or intentions you think it does

now fuck off if you don't want to contribute to his suggestions

>>17187339
post yourself and i'll point out your flaws (at least those ones that happen to coincide with my own insecurities) and offer passive-aggressive suggestions. it will be really helpful of me, you know?

do it

>>17187359
>(at least those ones that happen to coincide with my own insecurities)
having low body muscle mass, bad posture or wearing obscure clothings are objectively quantifiable phenomenons; if my intention was to make him feel bad I would be picking into things he said he already fixed or things he cannot fix

>passive-aggressive suggestions
I'm simply restating what is said in the sticky (see https://pastebin.com/vUp2MLXv))

now shut the fuck up, you are filling this general with off-topic posts

It does, but you REALLY have to like green fragrances to appreciate it. Do you want to smell like a forest? It's very nice, but I pick dirt-like patchouli (like FM Monsieur) over green galbanum/vetiver notes every single time

I like DHI but you're a fag for falling for shit tier shitposts. I much prefer DHO though. DHI seems to become a skin scent and muddled fairly quickly and I like the cacao compared to the pear. I might try it again though. Maybe im wrong about the performance.

>>17187487
i really dont give a shit about DHI. Its a meh frag. If you think the old man was shitposting, when he could not even see basic sarcasm, then you started reading the exchange with confirmation bias

>>17187480

You cover behind a screen, crying at people online. Instead of maturing, you keep blaming others for you social ineptitude. You say we ruin the thread, while you constantly talk about the same thing, upload the same picture, and in general add nothing to the thread.

>H24

How similar is this to Black Orchid?

>>17187584
I can't tell you how disappointed I was with H24, I mean we finally get another Hermes release after all that time and its just...meh

I want to smell like pic rel. I have tried most of the commonly recommended "woody" fragrances: Oud Wood, Tam Dao, Encre Noir, Wonderwood, Grey Vetiver, Terre d'hermes.
None of them are exactly what I'm looking for, they all mix some sort of citrus or fresh accord in with the wood.

I want to smell like just straight up deep rich woody wood, like a lumber yard.
I don't have any specific type of wood in mind, maybe just a blend of woods that form a gestalt of generic "woodiness"? Please rec me something, thanks.

>>17187686
People will say BI but I'm wearing it right now and it's not quite "natural woods". Maybe CDG Wonderwood? Terrible performance though from what I've heard.

>>17187691
Already tried Wonderwood, as listed. Its nice, don't get me wrong. I like it as a fragrance, and I wear it sometimes. But its not the strong pure woodiness that I'm looking for, its more aromatic than I want.

>>17186903
seems to me that a small time guy can't even get the stuff to begin with. Like, the suppliers won't sell in anything other than bulk, and anyone who would sell perfume chemicals in non-bulk sizes would charge up the ass for a small amount.

It seems more likely that a middle class person selling perfume will simply have a smaller profit margin. And someone doing this would be doing so not for the money but because it's something they wanna do. Because any indy small perfumer could make way more money with far less effort by just getting a regular job

having said that, it doesn't mean they are good. for example, I tried the Rogue perfumery sample set and while they seemed high quality, I suppose, they just didn't smell that good to me. just something to keep in mind

I went to a department store multiple times sampling different types of brands and flankers and I am currently leaning towards Bleu de Chanel EDP followed by Acqua di Gio. Which between the two should I get if I only want to buy one

Which was is the best in the azarro wanted line?

should I blind buy cerruti 1881

>>17187704
if you like fresh floral chypres like eau sauvage, go for it
it's probably my favorite warm weather cheapie

>>17187724
man I love eau sauvage. I'd have bought a bottle if it weren't as expensive as it is (and yes I don't buy at retail prices).

honestly might go for 1881 in the next week. I'm moving so once I settle in I might buy it as a present for myself for not fucking up the moving process

>>17187686
I tried many, anon, but the only niche, enjoyable, reasonable price and availability is Bois Impérial or Ganymede.
Scents like Slumberhouse Norne can suck my dick, because they sell only in seasons to make it even more expensive.

>>17187698
Lol that image is so misleading and retarded. All of them are actually gourmands, and the concentration has very little to do with intensity in that line. That said, I personally enjoyed The Most Wanted Parfum the most

I didn't think people actually got compliments on frags but last night I wore Bois Imperial for the first time in company and someone told me I smelled so fucking good.

>>17187754
so she like a mellow aventus scent. cringe?

>>17187759
Not him but Aventus is boring. It smells good, but it's boring

>>17187727
then 1881 is definitely for you. it even seems to last better than eau sauvage on my skin, though it's also not exactly beastmode. has that cassia and rose, so it's a little different, but a similar kind of green, floral, citrusy, light and relaxing chypre overall, at a much better price

>>17187698

Reminder that this post is not part of the Fragrance General OP and only reflects the opinion of the schizo that posted it

what is the best fragrance if you're a faggot femboy who wants to signal to everyone that you take dick in the ass?

Don't listen to the schizo, indy perfumers don't spend a lot on ingredients

Guerlain Vetiver

Need your help. The first one is very difficult to get, so I am looking for another version. I've found these two. Could anyone tell me the difference between 2 and 3, and which is better?

>>17187788
2 and 3 is the same formula AFAIK, they just changed the bottle

>>17187638
>Synthetics =/= bad.
I didn't say they were
In fact 100% natural perfumers are a meme and i generally avoid their work because all natural fragrances tend to get muddled. It's like when you mix a bunch of paints together and get brown.

>>17187754
I can also confirm that people really like BI. I went to a bar on Thursday night after work to drink to drink a Bloody Mary. The girl behind the bar told me she likes my perfume and asked if it was Molecule. That surprised me that she asked that but she told me I really good and wanted to know what I was wearing. A guy told me I smell good and wanted to know what I was wearing and that I should give him some. I took that with a grain of salt because he once told me I smelt good when I was wearing Armaf CDNI. Then I went home.

To be honest, there are other frags I enjoy more, but people seem to enjoy it, so I wear it. Although, I am looking forward to autumn so I can wear a different fragrance.

not related to ur question but have you tried the vintage LIDGE vs the new formulation, i.e., 1 vs 2? tried the 2 side by side some months ago and the difference is not that big and the drydown of 2 is better imo

>>17187874
Literally Bois Impérial, it's also suitable for winter.

>>17187881
What about something warmer

Applied hydrating cream on my neck, will it work as a moisturiser somehow and enhance performance? It does make my skin more moist even though it's not a moisturiser, just cetaphil hydrating cream

Sweet, syrupy, cloying, and generic smelling. I shouldn’t have been too surprised given this was released after LVMH’s acquisition of Guerlain. I feel like if you go to the fragrance counter at the mall and close your eyes and randomly smell various frags, what you smell wouldn’t be too dissimilar from L’homme ideal. Piercing aromachemical woods with syrupy orange, plastic orange blossom, bitter almonds, bad cherries, pine needles, vetiver, and plastic leather — all wrapped up in heavily sweetened ambered booze. It’s a hot mess of clashing synthetics, and all of it feels incredibly generic. I’m willing to give the EDP and Extreme a shot, though.

>>17188156
>sauvage elixir

That's exactly how they smell to me in an imaginary way.

>>17188239
Unironically the only two frags I own

>>17188251
The only reasonable fragrances to own:
Ganymede, Kenzo Intense, Bois Impérial, Dior Homme line & either Bel Ami or Cerruti 1881 for a vintage powerhouse.

The good news is DHI doesnt appeal to me. It’s a chocolate mousse cake with vanilla whipped cream. I like it, but not my style. Glad I was able to decide that in one go at least.
1881 smells grandpaish. at least the opening. The dry down is better but not sure it’s something I can wear.
Deep Blue is great, no complaints but I also already had a sample of it. Great budget alternative to Bleu de Chanel

Dior homme '2011' is now named Dior home original. Hard to find, can be bought through Dior site in certain countries.

Dior homme intense. is the easiest to find. Skips the fresh iris opening of the original and jumps into a iris chocolatey musky mid and turn it to 11. More powdery, sensual and darker.

Dior homme Parfums. Hard to find like the original. Like Sauvage elixir, DHP have little to do with the two previous. Still a beautiful iris, but mainly a smooth leather fragrance backed by rose, sandalwood and oud. fantastic combination of dark leathery but also clean and floral, almost soapy.

>>17189474
I only got a sample. I am going to wait for black friday to cop it on whatever site has it cheapest. I use pricerunner or billiger.de, one is danish the other is german, but they usually both show shops from all of europe if you turn on the option for it.

>>17189476
Will they ship to the US? How is it different than La Nuit?

>>17189481
Oh i am a total noob, so i have no idea about its relation to other frags. It just smells amazing on my skin, has really good projection and lasts a long time. I really have no experience with shipping, maybe some us stores will start getting it in stock soon.

>>17189474

Let me take you on a journey, friend. You’re on vacation in San Francisco, you return to your hotel but have forgotten your room number. You walk into the room of another guest by mistake. Immediately upon entering, you notice that a bunch of sweaty men are fucking on a bed shaped like a giant martini glass covered with sequins. YMCA is playing on a loop on the room’s sound system, a disco ball hangs from the ceiling, a large TV displays episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race. John Waters is sitting on a chair in the corner sipping a cosmopolitan.

Ultra Male is gayer than that room.

what's the best issey miyake

Currently use L'Eau d'Issey for daily use, but the climate here is getting super hot and humid, and I don't think sour notes mix well. Even though my sweat doesn't smell, just the clothes being damp creates a weird smell.

Any recommendations? I've noticed 1 Million is great to overpower dampness. Thinking of getting either Eau des Baux L'Occitane or A*Men

>>17189632
Nah, it's just the dry woody base of Akigalawood. Bois Impérial is also a fragrance that need time. I was the biggest hater of it, but i hugely fell in love with Bois Impérial.
This shows how complex Boid Impérial is, the first time you smell it, you'll be confused, because you never smelled such a perfect layered/composed concoction before.
The second time you smell it, you'll be the biggest fan of Bois Impérial.
It's even much more intense with Ganymede.

What's something like this but more modern?

>>17189674
Bel Ami or Cerruti1881

>>17189640
are you willing to expand from the woody-fresh-genre? I get complimented on BI too, think grand soir has to be my most complimented frag out of my collection of 60ish frag, or more generally any frag combining vanilla and amber but it's not opt for hot days

>>17189668
what the fuck is wrong with the way you write

>>17189682
>are you willing to expand from the woody-fresh-genre?
I don't know. It's very rarely cold where I live, to the point where I don't think I need a frag for colder days
At first BI reminded me a bit of Sauvage for some reason, and right now after wearing it a few more times I understand the people who say it smells like bug spray to them (in the opening) even though to me it's not unpleasant. Considering the hype, even outside of this general, for BI I assumed it was my safest bet for a fresh mass pleaser that is neither obscenely expensive nor common

Guerlain imperiale is such a nice fresh scent. Doesn’t last long so just have to reapply throughout the day.

>>17189743
For poor fags, Alvarez Gomez is a nice inexpensive alternative that you can spray throughout the day.

>>17187279
If you can't grow a proper beard. Than shave it all off.

Alright I ordered my next batch of samples and if after that there's still nothing I can conceivably see myself adopting as a signature scent I'll just default back to BI and leave this general forever. This "hobby" is honestly a waste of money

I'm not saying samples are expensive you dumb fuck, that's not the point.

>>17189605
Kouros of lapidus pour homme are perfect for hot weather. Same idea as one million but it think they both smell way better. I would actually reccomend Lepidus over kouros because i think its survived a little bit better all the reformulations over the years.
A bit fruity up top, a little smokey lavender, a huge dollop of honey, some musk in the base. Its very good.

>>17189835

Is there anything else?

>>17189837
too bad your skin is too greasy for it. Check out DHI or toy boy

>>17189838
Are these serious recommendations or are you just shitposting

>>17189820
Then what the fuck is your point, this is literally the only hobby that lets you "test" the FULL experience of the product at an extreme discount, a sample of 95% of fragrances is gonna be cheaper than a bag of chips, or a halfway decent beer, and can last a week depending on how heavy a spritzer you are.
the price of a FB of any halfway decent fragrance can get you 25-50 samples.
and if you cant find something you like within 50 samples, you're either awful at picking samples, not that into the hobby,
OR
A
NOSELET

>>17189839
shitposting. You need to sample stuff man. I could give you advice on 20 frags that worked for me within your question, and they would all work differently for you.

>>17189840
The point is that it's a waste because like all other consoomer hobbies you're just continually chasing after the perceived "right one", in this case the perfect frag, which doesn't exist. You pour money into collecting small vials of smelly water.
I don't care about owning hundreds of samples of various scents because I'm not autistic. I just want one bottle, two at most, of something I enjoy and that smells good to others, which is why I'll stop wasting money on this stuff. It's not about the money, it's about the waste, but you wouldn't understand because you have a bad case of consoomer brain.

>>17189856
It is, but people like it, and i feel like it is more comforting than sauvage for an example.

>>17189845
>its not about the money
clearly it is, as its the only component that is even able to be wasted.
Unless those couple of hours every 3-6 months are that valuable, in which case I'm sorry for you, as that must be a very stressful life.
You claim not to be autistic, but only spergs would get this bent out of shape about being underwhelmed by a purchase.

>>17189852
BI is pretty good, but for some reason I can't see it being very pleasant to others, I feel like it's an unusual and somewhat sharp scent, not exactly safe and easily pleasing. I haven't worn it a lot so far, so perhaps my opinion will change with time.

>>17189864
>clearly it is, as its the only component that is even able to be wasted.
Being unwilling to waste money doesn't entirely depend on the price of whatever you'd be wasting it on. Just because I can afford it doesn't mean I should keep buying worthless things in pursuit of some silly and elusive ideal product.
You have a typical poorfag mentality.

>>17189862
Sauvage is pretty far from it yeah
When I say comforting I mean it in the sense of a frag not being cloying but being soft and airy, ethereal but still noticeable, and inoffensive but not boring

>>17189572
>Not mention of Yellow Dream

any modern designers that have a pronounced patchouli smell?

>>17189868
Frags surprisingly retain value well. Curating bottles is a better store of value than most currencies.

>>17189935
feel like you can say that for a lot of different things. But youre not wrong. Another good tip on the same topic, is always buy designers that are on 50% or higher sale, in a few months or years you will be able to sell them close to retail. I recently got Valentino Uomo at half price, because a store was selling out some christmas stuff and one of those thins was a gift box with valentino uomo.

BI
Sung homme
Ganymede

>>17190124
>Sung
Why do you guys hype it that much, it's just yet another cheapie. What makes it better than drakkar, meme water or whatever else?
>Ganymede
Most people on here haven't tried Ganymede and it's not talked about very often compared to BI

>>17189835
>>17189849
Am I right in assuming that The Dreamer doesn't really appeal to women at all and that it's not a crowd pleasing frag?

>>17190138
I dont like any of em, just what gets spammed the most on here. Ganymade doesnt get talked about much, but some people recommend it at the weirdest times.

>>17190140
I cant see how it wouldn't be a crowd pleaser. Its a smoky iris. The opening is harsh and awful, but the drydown on skin is very pleasing and calming in my opinion.

>>17190144
The opening is very synthetic. You're right that the drydown is better but longevity is awful unfortunately.

>>17190143
What don't you like about BI

>>17190156
Just not my style of frag

>>17190152
I think im lucky then, it lasts about 8 hours on me, i really love the scent so i sniff my wrists throughout the day, and it usually fades a couple hours after i come home.

Mayyybe dylan or desert paintbrush but it really depends on what you are into, none of frsgs ive listed are a substitute for burning barbers

Can anyone describe how hermes h24 smells like in layman terms?

>>17190400
Yeah it smells ethereal, with rhubarb, a sort of sweet gummy bear accord, the smell of a hot clothes iron and a musk base. Good performance, good longevity, interesting and unique while still being something easy to like for people in your life who arent into frags. Its a genius fragrance that is going to be huge in a few years but is very under the radar now. Ahead of its time. Finally something to replace boring blue shower gel shit.

>>17190406
What about bois imperial, is it the same kind of frag?

>>17190412
I haven't smelled BI, i would say they are probably representative of a new emerging genre but they seem to smell prerty different. BI is more dry and woody and h24 has a tiny bit of sweetness to it, but isn't in any way a sweet or gourmet fragrance.

>>17190406
So will you smell like gummy bears wearing it?

>>17190423
>a new emerging genre
Futuristic/artificial molecular frags have been done before though haven't they
Is there any other recent frag aside from those 2 that you would say belongs to this genre

>>17190426
>Futuristic/artificial molecular frags have been done before though haven't they
Yeah but something like molecule is different.
I mean bi and h24 are both just, overdose of new aroma molecule fragrances which has been a thing in perfumery for the last 100 years at this point. But i think they do something different. The sort of airyness is different than frags from say the 90s that were supposed to be airy or ozonic.
I guss ganymmeme would be in the same genre as these other two but i dont think its mass appealing like h24 and BI is.
But maybe im full of it.
>>17190425
Eh not really there is some fruity sweetness there but its mostly more of an airy diffuse quality.

>>17190443
>something like molecule is different.
M01 is airy alright. But it's a gimmicky "minimalistic" scent at the end of the day so I get what you're saying
>The sort of airyness
I haven't seen many people describe BI as airy

>>17190107
