/fa/ - Fashion

I live in a very touristic city and I'm fucking tired of smelling DIOR SAUVAGE fucking everywhere.
I hate it at the same level of Le Male and One(1) Million.

>>17201737
I hope last thread's discussion will make future BI discussions a bit more level headed and less meme-y

>>17201769
pretty based, though I prefer Cerruti as far as old school fresh green cheapies go

Anyone have this, any good? Also what are some general good skincare/soap/bodywash things to get from L'Occitane, I'm doing a big shop when I get my paycheque this month.

tried bois imperial and im getting a strong pepsi smell. it's from a dabber so i dont trust it and im gonna wait for some atomizers i ordered to arrive to transfer the sample and see if its the same. also tried aesop hwyl and love it. anything similar that isn't quite as expensive?

Thoughts on this one?

>>17201769
I miss it…

>>17201833
good, but overpriced for this type of sweet vanilla and spices designer scent

LADS.

Tonight is the night.

Going to get my whistle wet.

A few bars, then the club. Weather warmish but but not too much, can deal with a projector to combat the sweat filled losers circulating around me. Love to order my drink, lean over into the bar, and let the chick smell my man juice.

So which way is it white man?

Yeah just go with the cocaine raspberry frag

>>17201890
With respect, I made a woman cum by choking her during lovemaking, just 2 hrs ago. Your tiny pp doesn’t have a chance in hell no matter what fragrance you’re wearing. I doubt you could even pay for sex, either lacking the nerve or too ugly for even the most desperate whore.

>>17201920
Oh yeah nice, I forgot about the cocaine smell association.

>>17201925
Have you been spying on me with your Mother? Because that's exactly what I did with her. Get back to your room, son.

>>17201855
Its this guy again
Anyways none of those frags is going to cut it
What you need to do is go to the nearest perfume store and douse yourself in JPG Ultra Male

>>17201929

>>17201929
Yeah bro, on the road to the pucci again.

Nah I don't want JPG, cringe teen shit. Sure, I am after the teen pucci but still, that stuff will remind them of their ex teen boyfriends, or current. And I'm a meat eating man. No homo.

4 squirts of tuscan leather on the right cheek, 4 on the other, and four on the neck.

Repeat every hour. Simple as lads. The ladies won't be able to resit the pure sexual energy that will be flowing from me.

>>17201968
Why do you keep shilling fragtubers like we give a single fuck

>>17201977
Why do you keep spilling your beans

>>17201993
All you’re doing is reposting shit from r/eaudejerks as if /frag/ keeps up with any of that trash

>>17201973
>spraying scent on the cheeks

>>17201977
He's from reddit. I just spent time looking at their sub. 100% gossiping and whining about youtubers being shills like anyone gives a fuck. Some TLTG guy I've never even seen before. Their usual shit takes on anything and shit humor.

>>17202014
>lean in to order drink
>they smell the sex

Stop believing Jeremy meme about "pulse points" whatever. Especially if you are wearing a heavy hitter. Cheeks will project nicely and be good.

Nooooo /frag/ is supposed to be classy

>>17202018
Asscheeks

>>17202017
Yeah I browsed it for a bit. Quite possibly the worst subreddit I’ve seen. Just filled to the brim with the most cringeworthy users who love to hate-watch videos made by fragrance youtubers. Just a strange obsessive cult.

Give me the best girl-pleasing scents that aren't Bois Imperial.

>>17202028
It has potential because the fragrance reviewers are all weirdos and shills but it’s mostly cringe and not funny. I was just browsing there and posting some of the kinda funny stuff because the thread was dead

>>17202018
I'm kind of a noob on this topic. Who the fuck is Jeremy?

Tom Ford is notoriously expensive but also seems to make quite unique frags. I've never tried any of them except Black Orchid a long time ago. Which ones would you say are worth sampling, and which ones are (in your personal opinion) worth the price for a full 50ml?

>>17202047
There is no reason you should care. Just assume he's another literal who eclown and move on with your life.

>>17202061
Sperg

>>17202055
He's generally pretty good at building his scents around oud.

>>17202064
Says the faggot who used "noob" unironically in a sentence

>>17202047

>>17202069
So all the "oud [whatever]" frags then? Nothing else?

>>17201960
it's super weak. Probably won't buy a new bottle when mine runs out.

I used BI this summer but I'd like a different scent for the fall and winter, could I have some suggestions? I only have the Dreamer but it probably smells a bit too cheap for daily wear. It's also not very mass pleasing like BI is

>>17202061
>>17202072
Now I understand. Thanks for the replies anons.

>>17202034
anon I think maybe you had good intentions but please for the love of God don't post shit from plebbit here ever again

you have been warned

>>17201737
will Bois imperial make me dominate women? what are some daddy tier frags bros?

>>17202075
Tobacco Vanille is good too

>>17202083
For some reason no one makes new threads lately, so I’ve had to make them when the last one was near the bump limit and decided to make it as aids as possible. I was about to shit up the thread because you were being a dick, but since you asked nicely I’ll stop. The joy Amin post wasn’t a Reddit thing, I was just looking for normie takes on Prada amber intense and say the joy Amin video which some people on here said was a good review and it was so boring.

>>17202099
fragrance youtube channels never really interested me apart from the occasional jeremy video purely for entertainment purposes honestly

would rather talk to people on /frag/

>>17202085
Too slutty gooks. I went to a handjob parlor in bangkok and the woman had such awful fake tits that my dick couldn’t get hard and I’m glad it didn’t because she wanted to fuck. She rubbed her awful tits against me in a massage and they were hard as a rock. I took an hour hot shower afterwards it was so gross

>>17202099
> being a dick,
that was my first post in the thread though, I'm always polite on the 4channel country club

>>17202102
They’re a tier below Fragrantica for shit tier descriptions of frags

>>17202105
yeah they're pretty retarded
basenotes is somewhat OK though

>>17202106
Yeah basenotes and parfumo are decent. Fragrantica is the better database but the reviews are really bad

Very inflammatory words, friendo.

What do you guys think about wearing this on college campus?

>>17202153
Mate, you asked us to choose one of three fragrances for a date night in summer weather where you're going to a few bars and then the club. Do you *really* think TL is a good idea in that setting? Not to mention the fact that it's objectively the most challenging scent of the three. I'd play it safe and stick to Prada L'homme.

>>17202156
Eh well it is Summer for sure, but it is a little cooler tonight. Sick of aquatics. They do not project in a busy setting I find.

Why isn't the old boi Tuscan leather good in a bar and club setting?

>I'd play it safe and stick to Prada L'homme.

I still could. But I am a masculine devil, and have worn and carried off rose note frags before.

Of course my primary market is females aged 16 to 25 in the club. But there could be some 55 year old fox at the bar.

>>17202080

>>17202214
Girls hate most of these, look at blind reaction videos

Futuristic smelling scents that arent h24 or from cdg?

I really hope Prada amber intense is really just an amped up version of Prada amber in the way I want. I dont see it mentioned by PA has the exact smell of headshop incense underneath the soapiness that ive been looking for (I guess its nag champa)

>>17202294
Secreciones magnifique by ELDO
or Ghost in the shell by ELDO depending on whatever futuristic means for you

>>17202294
Literally Bois Impérial

>>17202368
>whatever futuristic means for you
Synthetic but in the unnatural sense, not in the cheap sense.
Metallic notes for example, but not limited to that. Anything reminiscient of technology as opposed to nature, usually clean and sharp, and fairly minimalistic but not always (CDG 2 isn't for example)
>>17202374
I own BI. How is it futuristic?

Br540 edp or extrait?

>>17202378
The Akigalawood is a new ingredient, scent profile is unique.
Ganymede is a stepup.

Frags to attract a "bad girl" who has actually been locked up?

Find something that smells like burning plastic, it will remind her of freebasing cocaine (and her dad)

>>17202565
Wear it, its smells fucking great.
Unless you are 40 or older just wear it. Its a great youthful fragrance, good performance, if you gind it too powerful just spray less

>>17202570
INSTEAD OF THESE TRY PDM LAYTRASH OR PDM PEGASHIT (not sponsored btw)

>>17202570
Bitches like that top one hate Savage because it reminds them of being pumped and dumped.

I'm not that anon btw.

exactly that just a bit too sweet for even my taste and I generally prefer sweeter fragrances

There was a frag I sampled a while back that had a huge emphasis on petrol. It was very interesting. I wouldn't wear it anywhere but I enjoyed smelling it. Not really future so much as steampunk vibe though. Can't remember the name sadly

Just did a blind buy of this. What should I expect? Cute female coworker coming over next weekend for dinner. Will it help me dick her down? Also, pretty new to fragrances, what discounters do you guys recommend? I've only really used Jomashop but they don't have a lot of the frags that I'm interested in picking up. In the US btw. Thanks.

>>17203008
another soulless aquatic. Dumb to order this over Sauvage edt at this point, ironically it's a way more unique scent than Bleu Noir. more pleasant too.

>>17203200
SEX

>>17203202
Both are great. I like sport more but the vetiver and pineapple in fraiche is really nice too. Sport smells exactly like kouros to me but slightly less animalic and more floral while keeping the dna completely intact.

>>17203208
so, sport is just like the new bottles of kouros? Ive only tried the current bottle and dont get anything animalic, just a smoky powder. I tried it like a year ago, so I dont really have a good description, but nothing animalic and im really sensitive to those notes

>>17203220
Eau de sport stays more like the vintage formula. It is pretty animalic with a lot of oakmoss.

>>17203200

>I'm not an npc, so I won't buy this frag that I might or might not like because other people have it and I want to be different
>I'll buy this other frag blindly because someone from a smaller and more reliable group said it's good
do you see the irony?
the frag itself really is another anonymous blue designer cliché, and since it's so widely available you should have found a way to try it out before this

>>17203409
>other people have it and I want to be different
I understand this if he lives in a big city. It's not an exaggeration to say that I smell Sauvage at least once per day. It's not a bad scent, but it's just boring and extremely overdone at this point

>>17202570

How do you see yourself and how would you like to be perceived?
How would a guy that you imagine smell like?
I personally have shoulder long hair and want to be perceived (low key) as an eccentric type.
So I pay attention to warm wooden notes best in tandem with mysterious smoke and some floral notes, rather no fruit.
Layering is also a good technique but don't do it if you have no clue.
Idk, do some soul searching anon or be just another npc

>>17203547
I'm an introverted guy but I get people to like me easily. I'm funny and people see me as smart and kind of soft. Physically I'm normal, nothing out of the ordinary. I'm not very masculine, but not effeminate either. I'm chill and go along with events and people, which is why others like me, but I'm not very assertive or confident although I'd like to be perceived as such. I also live in a warm southern climate
I know a bit about notes, but I have no idea which notes correspond to which perceptions or impressions. I understand your example but wouldn't know where to start with me, I do like woody notes since I like Bois imperial

>>17203539
>clone of oud for greatness
OFG smell like a regular no-frills oud. Brioni have a strong apple note, almost buttery, like frying apples in butter. There's not much similarity in wearing experience.

>ferragamo leather
Haven't smelled it. Note list completely different except for apple.
"Reminds me of: Bleeker street, Ombre Leather"...

>>17203556
Seems like a good starting point.
I'd suggest especially looking into unisex fragrances, some tend to be more masculine without being ultragigachad male which probably won't suit you.
I see fragrances much more as an malleable artform than a precise science.
I mean, sometimes I'm wearing female scents layered with more dominant ones.
Possibilities are endless!

>Bois Impérial
It's still on my list, haven't tried it yet.

>>17203571
What would you say separates a masculine leaning frag from an ultra masculine one?
I get that frags should fit the person but I don't want to wear something that will come off as unmasculine or asexual either, you know? I want to enjoy my own frag but I also want it to be attractive

>>17203575
I think it comes down to intensity.
Leather notes for example can feel old and dusty, in your face loud like wet leather jackets, wild and free or even elegant and sophisticated.
If there's some new age shop near you smell all the different atheric oils and pay attention to what kind of memories come up. You'll figure it out but don't rush it.
And don't believe the shills

>>17203586
I don't think I've ever seen a new age shop here. But if it's about intensity I guess I can keep wearing bois imperial in the meantime since there's nothing very loud about it. it's marketed as unisex too.

>>17203037
>I want to be different!
>popular bad

not sure if it was the parfum or the edp, but it smelled exactly like the sweetish aquatic like ADG profondo/profumo or Dunhill century blue.I don't get woody, I get boring blue aquatic cringe.

Amazing frag, too bad it's so expensive and frankly quite situational.

I like smelling frags but I don't like wearing them

>>17203575
Ultra masculine are typically 80s fragrances. Probably something your dad would wear or you'd recognize as a typical man's fragrance. Modern men's is more softened and rounded to make it more pleasant and not punch you in the face. Even sweet note like vanilla is common now, but usually balanced with warm spices and tobacco etc.

For me typical female fragrances are florals like jasmine, rose etc. with powdery white musk. Or sweet fruits like peach ans strawberry.

>>17203605

I wish fruits weren't gendered. I love fruits and their smells.

How does LB compare to the original Le Male?

>>17203649
>fragrance with no leather
Bro, there is no leather in fragrances.

are there any other christmas candle-y scents like Sauvage Elixir? i love the pineyness even if it's not an official note.

>>17201737
Black Orchid's opening is funky but once the top truffle note is gone I find it pleasant but boring.

Tried searching for other frags on Fragrantica using the truffle note but none seemed to have it as a base or prominent note in the dry down.

Where can I get something that is similarly
funky/earthy from top to base?

>>17203637
Nice fresh citrus opening, nicely transitions to sweet coconut and tonka beans, the coconut feels just a tad bit synthetic but I don't mind it
Very simple and straightforward frag
Lasted like 10 hours on me, pretty impresive

Lads. My night out ended on a zero pucci. BUT. When I got in, in the early hours. I messaged a 65 year old woman online, met her, and got my whistle wet. Great success.

>>17203739
second wearing rn. it is its own vibe. trying to figure where to wear this—a little casual, not quite sporting, herbally, doesn’t have an intimate/sexy nature…kind of feminine when it comes down to it.

You find it feminine? To me, the ambroxan makes it slightly masculine.
>it is its own vibe
Yeah it really is. I think it fits every occasion frankly, can't really think of any where BI would be inappropriate. Since it's so unusual yet inoffensive, it can be whatever you want it to be.

Wore Dior Homme intense last night. Definitely smells like baby vomit but had no issue with it. Felt pretty sensual. 8/10 will buy full bottle

just got Prada lr black and le male le perfume. LMLP smells way more like ultra male than I expected. LR Black is great but it dries down to a play dough like smell and seems to have bad performance. Anyone know of anything similar? A spicy musk

they are, without a doubt, the LEAST complicated type of girls, you cucko

Asian girls want:
1) money / designer goods / status
2) sex
3) children

and dont care, let you slide with everything else. White women throw a fit for no reason. Black girls get an attitude for no reason. it goes on and on

>>17204233
the money/status obsession of Asians and Slavs for that matter are unbearable in a relationship.

>>17204233

do other scents like fahrenheit or platinum egoiste smell "dated" to you?

Jeremy can't recognize Bleu de Chanel, Dior Savage, ultramale or Eros. embarrassing

>>17204241
>>17204233
This. Asian girls may be together with a guy with money, but they behavior is superficial and cringe by my observation.
You must be an absolut retard to be with a girl that only loves your material things and will leave you as soon as shit hits the fan.
In my experience white girls are really loyal.

Imagine saying this like it's a bad thing lmfao

I don't care about sampling fragrances unless a bottle is absurdly expensive like some TF shit. If I don't like it I can just give it to my dad or a friend or something.

>>17203410
I work in an NYC high rise office, so yes, I run across at least one or two NPC's wearing Sauvage every day.

>>17203645
I got a knock off of this from my grandpa years ago. He passed away shortly after. I ended up finishing the whole bottle and wanted to buy another to keep remembering him. I bought the real thing and was so fucking disappointed.

>>17204662
Its similar to vintage Boss Number 1 but with a dry carnation note added and less pissy in the opening but dries down more animalic than boss no1 which dries to a warm honey.

The problem with BI is that it's too versatile

I've gotten this from some perfumes as well
obviously whatever herbs or flowers go into making cola are also used in some perfumes
is there some shorthand that perfume fans have for when something smells like flat cola?
or better yet, do people know what ingredients cause the flat cola smell?

>>17201809
yes I really get the cola thing from BI when its first sprayed. I love it

it's not a bad thing, rather it's ironic that you would call others NPCs for displaying the same behavior you do, the only difference being the group whose directions you subscribe to
>I don't care about checking whether I like a frag before buying it as long as I've decided I want it
that's kinda like NPC consumerism, isn't it?

Went to a party on the weekend with a friend. Four sprays of BI.
Four hours later he suddenly said: "Are you wearing perfume today? I think it's a little extreme"
BI-chads, I guess four sprays were too much

>>17205089

>>17205154
BIchads... were we cloying all along?

something with this vibe?

>>17205154
The only thing that was extreme was how hard you were mogging your friend by how good you smell.

No Offence, but your friend is a delicate flower, some people are just very sensitive. It’s silly that he has a problem with the fact that you smell extremely fresh. I wear 4 sprays every time I leave the house.

>>17205154
1-2 sprays at neck/chest is plenty for me

>>17205185
No, the opposite. BI is very diffusive/almost ozonic. It’s not cloying, because you smell more like a place than a person. Ever been to a gallery/museum/Theater/whatever and thought “wow, it smells good here“ but you don’t know what it is? I think this is how people experience BI when they smell you.

>>17205212
Yeah, it’s plenty…for you.

>>17205214
Yeah I still remember when I was in a hotel in Barcelona the spa smelled so fucking good and I thought I'd like to have that smell as a perfume. Actually it was also a kind of aromatic fresh scent but less spicy than BI
If I smell like a luxury hotel spa that's fine by me

>>17205201
I wore 4 sprays of BI at an outdoors nightclub once and I could actually smell myself. Quite impressive.

>>17205184
What's wrong with it?
Is it good?
What the hell does it actually smell like?
Every time i read a frag has animalic musk i expect black musk attar and get soft powdery white musk with maybe a touch of cumin

I have too many frickin samples!

>>17204729
Who is she?

>>17205241
No you don’t. It’s better to have a shit load of samples and know what you don’t like instead of having a shitload of clones/cheapies that you don’t like/never wear because some YouTuber shilled them.

>>17205239

What fragrance smells like sex on drugs?

>>17205215
BI is plenty potent. I just don’t see the point in dousing yourself in a niche perfume. It’s not a cologne. A little goes a long way, especially with BI. Although everyone’s skin is different.

>>17205322
Shalimar EDP, if the drug is some prime hashish smoked during an orgy in the Sultan's harem

>>17205212
The absolute state of sissy sprayers.

>>17205341
Everybody is allowed to enjoy Boys Imperial however they want but come on now, don’t be a sissy sprayer. You are not doing anybody any favours when nobody can smell you.

>>17205407
>>17205421
Hmm I will need to consider this criticism. I am sensitive to fragrances, maybe I have been projecting that onto the people I interact with. I really do lean towards skin scents desu. But I must say, this is third wearing of BI and it just keeps getting better.

Damn 2 is growing on me. This frag is very addictve. Might buy after buying YSL Bleu Electrique

>>17205424
>it just keeps getting better.
This surprised me. BI gets more enjoyable every time I wear it. When I tried the sample I didn't even like it.

>>17205501
Describe the smell
How's the performance? Is it wearable for all occasions or is it situational?

>>17205508
it is quite addicting all of a sudden. I layered with Iso E Super today and it brings a depth that is very nice. It is quite perfect on its own though.

>>17205509
I have never smelt anything like it in the real world so i cant really describe it. It is kinda mature, it is a little sweet and spicy. Best way to describe it is just a very delicious drink you got at a bar in a foreign country
Performance is fine. It lasted on me for about 7-8 hours.
I think it works best for colder weather, and best for nights but it is also wearable during the day. If you want to give off "I am comfortable smelling androgynous and unique because i am a confident man" then i would suggest it. Would work really well as a signature scent too, because of how unique it is.

It's expensive and pretty similar to BI though, so I don't know for which occasions I'd wear one instead of the other.
But fuck, those mineral notes

Going to buy Jules from Dior, what i'm in for?

>>17205757
>But fuck, those mineral notes

I know, eh? You def shoulde experience the original bottle of Ganymede. It gives you a very fine, wide mist of that mineral opening. Alone the opening is so superb, i mostly don't like orange in fragrances, but damn, it's so well blended in Ganymede.
Later it smells like dry powdery saw dust, with some spices that smell somewhat like Ketchup.

>>17205777
Checked
I've tried it once before already but didn't get the ketchup drydown you're talking about. All in all I just don't think I can justify spending that much for something that's interchangeable (even if it's different) with BI just because I like the mineral notes

>>17205757

Repost>>17205780

It's the immortelle that smell like kitchen spices, but in a good way.

>>17205779
As said before the problem with BI is that you don't need anything else

>>17205814
BI and Ganymede are very different past the opening.
BI is fresh, exotic, spicy, aromatic and fizzy like smelling the vegetation of a tropical jungle on a remote island.
Ganymede is cold, futuristic, luxurious, introverted and beautifully sterile like smelling the sea spray from another world. Honestly one of the most aptly named frags I've ever come across.

does ganymede lean more formal or can it be a signature?

>>17205881
It can definitely be a signature. It's not formal as much as it's distant, or standoffish. It's inoffensive when you catch whiffs of it, yet at the same time it's definitely not a frag that screams "mass pleasing" or anything of the sort.

Could anyone who's tried either of these three comment on them
>Walk the Sea
>Megamare
>Acqua di Sale
I'm assuming they're the best aquatics out there not counting Oud Minerale which is more on the mineralic rather than aquatic side. Open to other recommendations too.

Ganymede is the frag equivalent of Fly Me to the Moon

>>17201945
>that stuff will remind them of their ex teen boyfriends
which all nutted in her so yeah

>>17205254
Ketik Novoselova

>>17205890
Wore AdS the other day. It was ok. I liked it more than Sel Marin. Definitely summer frag.

>>17205944
Is it a generic synthetic aquatic, or is there more to it?

>>17205876
well damn now I have to sample

>>17205946
It’s way more subtle, but still somewhat linear (imo). I’ll have to wear it again. It was more enjoyable than Sel Marin, definitely will be more mass appealing than SM.

>>17205951
Yeah, I forgot to mention Sel Marin, I should sample it too. Thanks for the info

Alright fuck it I'm buying Ganymede. It's too different from BI and too good to not be worth it.

>>17205876
Could I wear it to work at my part time job in a grocery store? I enjoy Bois Imperial but I wanna take it to the next level.

>>17205955
Post review

>>17205957
Yes, you could, because while it's different from everything else it's also not the kind of scent that might bother others who smell it (unlike Encelade).
>to the next level
Don't expect anything like BI past the opening. BI has nothing sterile, mineralic or aloof about it and Ganymede completely lacks the energizing spicy-woody fizz of BI.

>>17205890
would love to read a comparison between these as well, especially megamare and AdS

>>17205890
>the best aquatics out there
That would be Ocean Rain
long discontinued but you can still find affordable bottles on ebay.
https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Mario-Valentino/Ocean-Rain-9030.html

>>17205958
Ganymede opens with a strongly mineralic but also aromatic freshness that is very similar to BI's, but slightly more subdued, less sharp. It's elusive, airy, not at all a thick kind of scent that sticks to your skin.
It spreads itself around you but never obnoxiously, always in an ethereal manner. The saffron is most likely what gives it the sterile feel, as it settles Ganymede becomes this very cold (not fresh, cold) and inorganic kind of scent that, like BI, you might expect from a place rather than a person, except in Ganymede's case it evokes an artificial and clean environment while BI is more chlorophyllic and lively.
Personally, I don't get a "suede note" but I also didn't get leather at all in Bisch's work for Kenzo, so it might be a problem with my nose. The cleanness is accentuated by floral softness, especially on the drydown, I think the notes are osmanthus and immortelle.
But mainly, Ganymede is all about mineral coldness, and the rest only compliments that central impression. It's a soft and masculine scent but not a mellow or comfortable one, I'd describe it as austere and lonely, foreign, unapproachable. It's wearable at any time and during any season because that kind of coldness is never inappropriate, and the airy, breezy quality of the scent ensures it'll never get cloying. Since it smells so strange and lifeless, it's not really something you might associate with a season or a period of life, hence the versatility.
Ganymede is a scent that is really masterfully composed, it's subtle and glacial, well-named because it both describes a beautiful man in mythology and an alien moon with foreign oceans.

Did I shill it well enough?

>>17205955
Good decision anon. It's worth the price. I already bit the bullet and bought it for full retail, 175 bucks.
It's one of my best fragrances in my collection.

>>17205985
Also >>17205924 is true if you're autistic enough to find value in correspondences between smells and music

>>17205988
175 isn't that expensive for niche anyway. Crypto-designer houses like Creed cost more and are garbage compared to Marc Antoine Barrois

>>17205985
>>17205988
Fuck I just bought a FB of Escentric, about to buy FB of BI. How should one split up wearing BI and Ganymede?

>>17206009
Good question, I'm not sure. They're both equally versatile, BI is louder and makes more of an immediate statement, and Ganymede is a bit classier and softer imo (still has incredible performance though).
I think I'd definitely wear Ganymede instead of BI as a night frag, except in a bar or a club, in which case I'd go with BI. I'd also wear Ganymede rather than BI in a formal environment. Not because it's a formal frag, but it just smells more refined to me. That aside, you can just alternate, there's no situation where one is clearly more appropriate than the other.

>>17206008
True, compared Ganymede to other really expensive niche fragrance, Ganymede would win.
Even Bois Impérial is already that good, not only the scent profile, but also the price is incredible fair.

>>17206040
There's other really good shit from niche houses. NYI and some Tauer and MDCI for example.
But yeah, value-wise, Ganymede is probably unrivaled.
