Poorfag here. Always wanted to own Aventus but will never be able to spend that kind of money on it. Is there any alternative, or any way I can get it for cheaper?

>>17256788
there are a shitton of Aventus clones out there. idk which of them are decent though

>>17256788
Club de nuit intense man. The EDT is good, but the opening is rough. The EDP and Parfum are more expensive, but they smell smoother in general. If you're just going for price, get the EDT

>>17256788
montblanc explorer, zara vibrant leather, club de nuit all good

>>17256552

I'm thinking of getting my gf a fruity/citrusy perfume. Specifically like passionfruit notes. Do you guys have any recommendations? I did plan by stopping by the store to smell them anyhow

>>17256885
What is Antaeus all about for real. Is it a meme like **** ********?

>>17256960
Aqua Allegoria Passiflora
the whole Aqua Allegoria line is great in general, especially Pamplelune

>tfw this frag is what I'd hoped Cartier Declaration d'Un Soir would be
This is how you do spicy rose.

>>17256662
what a weird collection, got some OK basics I guess and then some random garbage

>>17256988
>What is Antaeus all about for real
Its an animalic floral with a bunch of 80 mens frag floral notes, dark, thick, somewhat heavy, well blended and expensive smelling. Its fantastic but not for everyone.

>>17256988
it's an animalic 1980s chypre with rose. really high quality, complex frag but not exactly mass-pleasing nowadays

Literally perfect

Not sure if the reformulation rumors are true but I didn’t want to risk it…

Just got my bottle of Pardon and Prissana Maruyama, and a discovery set of the entire Rogue catalogue. Holy shit bros I'm so excited.

>>17256766
god damn how much did he pay for this trash

>>17256542
SNIFFA

>>17256784
this is embarrassing for OP that bought this shit kek

>>17257045
Wow, /frag/ still has people with taste - great picks anon. Is Rostracto included in the Rogue catalogue? How is Maruyama? Seems nice based on notes, but knowing Prin I wouldn't trust on the notes alone. I think Pardon is the best pick out of Nasomatto's choice; I pulled the trigger on Baraonda, but it's so strong that I very rarely get to wear it. Think I need to get some rewears on it.

>>17256662
I'm sorry you fell for the Aventus meme in the current age (assuming you got that bottle after 2018). I love The One EdP even though it's a bit weak and BdC is a no brainer. Y EdP is kinda redundant because you already have the superior blue fragrance. Not a fan of Acqua di Gig and Cool Water but they might work for you.

>>17256542
Which is the best and why?

>>17257060
Bleu de Chanel

Still trying to buy an anon's old samples

>>17257062
Kys.

I love antaeus but I feel it just doesn't last enough. The opening is amazing and the drydown is very floral and pleasing, what family of fragrances should I be looking for?

>>17257045
Currently wearing Chypre Palatin on one wrist and Chypre Siam on the other to compare. Both are beautiful but so far I prefer Palatin. The civet in Chypre Siam is way muskier than I expected, not as easy to wear, but its starting to mellow out.

Anyone tried Encens Suave yet, I'm really itching for it this season

>>17257040
based BI sissy, this makes me go noseblind I cannot tell if I like it or not, for me it smells like cleaning products used to mop the floor

>>17257053
Yes it has rostracto. I haven't smelled a lot of Prin Lomros but Maruyama and Natsumeku were my favorites. Both are Japanese inspired but I decided to go with Maruyama. To me, Natsumeku smelled cleaner, fresher, almost kind of detergent-y, whereas Maruyama is spicy, herbal and floral. It smells vaguely edible, like opening up a spice cabinet. To me its not a super challenging scent and not as out-there as some of Prin's other stuff. I recommend it.

>>17256552
I heard that the chinese love Opium

>>17257092
The Chinese love bad 80s frags because in the 80s only the midt wealthy elite could afford European luxury goods. Then as markets opened up millde class women started buying the fancy 80s perfumes they always wisehd they could own as teenagers. Many FOB Chinese girls studying at American colleges wear the same 80s perfumes their moms do because they don't know anything else.

>>17256662
Half based, half trash.

sick vapes bro

Ok. so just a general question . Last week I picked up a bottle of Tobacco Vanilla from a department store. I opened it up today and seems like there was a minor leakage.

Shall I return/claim it?

6g is I think missing - does this equal to 5.1 ml?

How much does a bottle of 100 ml usually contain ml? I suppose there is some real margin tolerance - do you have any idea?

I tested out the cologne and it lasts like 14 hours which is outrageously good.

Please let me know, since it does not allow me to sleep at night an can't find it out over the internet.

Also the atomizer does not fit in snug on that 100 ml - there is a slight gap. do you think it's okay or is my batch in general faulty?

Wondering about your experiences,

thanks /fa/nons

>>17257053
>rogue
>good taste

>>17257144
Why do you think some leaked? Bottles aren't usually filled completely to the top. Did thr inside of the box smell like a bunch of frag was spilled in there? Usually if a fragrance leaks its a huge mess and the bottle is like half empty because it will keep evaporating

>>17257164
IFRAcels stay seething

>>17257175
Every Rogue fragrance is ifra complaint (and they always have been) and his products are sold in Europe. In fact he reformulated bon monsieur and fougere l'aube this year for reasosn that look suspiciously like ifra compliance

>>17257171
no. none in the box, none on the outside of the bottle. just under the cap and bottle top.

>>17257184
damn you're right I just checked and it even says on his website

>>17257186
>just under the cap and bottle top.
Sounds like it might be an issue. I would go talk to the store and see if they will exchange it

>>17257040
My bottle is fairly new and still strong and based.

>>17257144
The profit margins are so insane on designer frags I doubt they would hesitate to just replace yours

>>17257144
if you ordered it online, there's a chance they'll tell you to keep it/discard of it.
if you got it in person, just go and exchange it.

Opinions on mon guerlain and/or ysl libre?

>>17257241
Just get Adriana grande clould
I don't care if you don't like the celeb, it smells fucking good

>>17257241
gf wears mon guerlain, I can't stop putting my nose up to her when she wears it. Its one of my favorite designer women's frags next to black opium, which she hates unfortunately.

>>17256832
Lalique sent me a bunch of free shit when I emailed them (EU)

>>17256553
Black Opium or Ariana Grande but she'll burn coal immediately after putting it on. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Cheap niche fragrances. Spicy, woody, kind of sweet. You'll smell like an Oriental despot.

>Badjee Al oud
>Oud aswad
>Oud abyad
>John Varvatos (the black one)

Like YSL la Nuit delhomme? Try encre Noir

Don't let Jeremy Fragrance meme you into Halloween Man X it sucks.

>>17257067
Ok chypre palatin is my next buy godamn this stuff is good

>>17257264
Did you just ask them directly for samples? Pose as a merchant?

Does anyone have an alternative to Jo Malone Wood, Sage, Sea Salt that's not so expensive for not a lot of cologne that doesn't last that long?

>>17257290
This was around when Black in White was released and I simply told them that I was interesting in sampling the fragrance as a customer before purchasing. They sent a real nice packaging for free.

>>17257053
I should also add that Maruyama has a bit of a curry smell to it, so avoid if you don't want to smell like a pajeet (which I have no problem with)

>>17257288
Based decision. It's on my full bottle list, certainly the best as well as most modern chypre out there, at least of those I've tried so far.

>>17257282
What has LNDL to do with Encre Noire?

Just ordered samples of Invasion Barbare and Chypre Palatin. What will I think of it?

>>17257314
IB: Airy lavender to me. Likeable and long-lasting, but very safe in my opinion. I'm sure someone in this world wears this to the office regularly. Not sure what type of person, though.
Chypre Palatin: If you like chypres, this might easily place among your top positions. If you don't like chypres, you might still find something likeable in it. It's a very refined take on the classical chypre structure.

>>17257288
Make sure you buy from the brands website so you can get the 5 free 8ml mini bottles

>>17257040
Based.

>>17256542
I love kouros but i feel weird wearing it out and it also makes me sick to eat food wearing it lol

>>17257175
Rogue is like a child looked at a masterpiece work of art and attempted to recreate it using crayons

>>17257241
I love the opening of libre but hate the dry down. Smells very classic in a modern way. Mon Guerlain is just sweet shit

Hello friends, I would like to thank /frag/ and the chart in >>17256545 for helping me pick a frag. I sampled 2 dozen choices and think I want to start with CdG 2 Man and Chanel Pour Monsieur. Thank you for stopping me from smelling like shampoo or a mall.

I do have a really dumb question though, when I looked up Chanel Pour Monsieur I see the EDT and EDP have different scent profiles on fragrantica…. Is there a difference in their composition or is this just people rating the two differently?

>>17257439
yes, there is a difference. there is the original EDT in the slim bottle and the EDT concentree and EDP which have some differences to the original, most notably they add vanilla

>>17256788
>>17256801
Club De Nuit Limited Edition

It's by far the best take, But cost x3 as much as the EDT and rarer to find.

What are some good feminine winter fragrances? I'm looking for a gift and most of the feminine ones I've smelled are all light and summer oriented in my opinion.

>>17256542is picrel in op worth it? im divided in either getting it, CH bad boy or a perry ellis 360 black

Green irish tweed is such a good scent. Sharp-green and very clean, it stood the test of time. Cool Water is a different scent, it's like a watered down version of it and never nearly as good.

Any perfume that smells like pine tar shampoo?

>>17257811
idk what pine tar smells like but Imaginary Authors Cape Heartache is the pine-iest fragrance that I know of. If only it didn't have such a repulsive, synthetic strawberry note it would actually be decent. CdG Hinoki is super pine-y as well and is actually worth checking out.

>>17257698
Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum.
Unless you want to gift it to a chick you don't want to violently force yourself onto. In that case, get something else.

>>17257852
I don't get the hype for this one, the spices smell like body odor and not the good kind

>>17257864
If I find a girl that smells like BR540E from her natural body odor I will bring eugenics back and ensure all women are replaced by her.

>>17256553
Britney Spears

>>17256788
Esencia edp by Loewe. Aventus DNA but better imo. More mature and refined.

>>17257060
I have tried neither of them. But in gonna guess the EDP

>>17257439
>Chanel Pour Monsieur
Tried New York intense?

Alright so which one of these should I get for my fall rotation?

Naxos
Babylon
Ex Voto
Bois d'Argent

>>17257423
Kouros Body is better

>>17257698
Shalimar, Black Orchid, Angel

>>17257045
I just got pardon and black afgano
Pardon is completely bizarre. Smells like a musty old jacket. Can’t even describe it well.
Black afgano reminds me a lot of fucking fabulous.
I’ve also recently tried carnal flower, portrait of a lady, and promise.
Carnal flower being the best (but with poor performance), PoaL being a massive letdown and Promise being nauseating for the first 3 hours but actually decent in the drydown.
Got some le labo and a penhaligon’s portrait set coming tomorrow.
Honestly when I got into this the first two frags I got were BDC and Aventus.
Both were good but Aventus blew my mind and my reasoning was “what are the odds that I just happened to pick the most amazing frag first? There are probably tons of amazing frags out there!”
Next I got fucking fabulous which seemed to confirm my intuition that there were some really special, unique and pleasant frags to be found.
But after that everything has been pretty much shit.
This is a fun exercise but ultimately I’ll probably return to Aventus for SS and FF for FW.
>>17257053
I had heard good things about pardon so I got a bottle with my black afgano cause although I’m a richfag I hate paying for shipping.
It’s a really weird frag. I feel like it goes out of its way to be hostile to the notion of crowd pleasing

ok so I got memed into ordering a bois imperial sample and I can't decide if I like it

decide for me /fa/

Finally, the god tier perfume has arrived. Time to put BI, the inferior Montabaco Intensivo, to rest.

>>17258010
The BI marketing team has been dojnt yeoman’s work on this board
I salute you lads. Are you with a specific agency or are you just MTurk pajeets?
Either way, hats off

>>17258012
I’m intrigued
A 4.6 on fragantica and that’s one hell of an ingredient list
How come I’ve never heard of this?

>>17258023
It’s a hidden, unshilled gem that should be protected at all cost. I highly recommend to sample it, the best of the best when you want a versatile but wearable, high quality fragrance.

>>17258010
do you not own any other stuff? usually i wear a fragrance for a whole day and at the end i think about whether or not i would spray it again. for bi, the answer was no.

>>17258032
I used to wear YSL la nuit a lot 10 years ago when it was actually good, afterwards I stuck to different YSL flasks out of stockhold syndrome. Trying to find something with good longetivity and sillage.

>>17256817
Apsley is where it's at

>>17258031
Also received Verano sample. Someone asked for a comparison between Montabaco Intensivo and Verano some threads back: the base is similar, but Montabaco Verano replaces the "airiness" of the Intensivo with a much more prominent suede combined with grapefruit - to my nose this combines to an almost honey-like note. I prefer Intensivo.

>>17258077
Yeah I'm the one who asked for a comparison, thanks. I'll try Intensivo then but probably not Verano.

>>17257698
oud satin mood

both are rich, creamy, feminine, and sexy but not trashy.

What am I in for?

>>17258143
homosex

>>17258143
The 5x champion of the fragrantica reader's choice awards in the "Best Men's Perfume of all time" category. In fact, the only champion in that category, no other fragrance has made the first place so far.

In terms of the scent? Lipsticky iris blast in the opening with a nice powdery earthy-woody drydown. The iris doesn't go away but turns down two or three notches, cedar comes in. Only for the strongest and weakest of men, everyone inbetween would be better off with Sauvage. And I mean that in terms of body AND mind.

>>17258012
>>17258023
Interesting notes, need to try it. One first downside against Bois Imperial is the price. Bosi Imperial is niche quality for designer price. It's long lasting, pulls attention and compliments, boosts confidents, pleases the snob like me who searches for almost photorealistic woody fragrances.

>>17258143
Parfum>intense

>>17258143
It’s easiest to describe with vibes. You’re at a gay bar wearing your sisters lipstick. Then you drink chocolate Schnaps and proceed to have sex with a musky smelling man.

>>17258143
I like it but it has absolutely shitty longevity on me. Becomes a skin scent after 30 minutes

>>17258143
It's nice, it's just that it have a note in I don't like, I think it's the pear note of the ambrette that becomes sickly sweet, can't really put my finger on it.

>>17258189
You must have got a shit batch or something, it's annoyingly long lasting, especially on clothes.

>>17258239
No I know what I was getting into but after getting it turns out I wasn't that big of a fan of vanilla/sweetness since it was one of the first frags I got.

>>17258238
It's more butch on a woman and unisex on a man. Leans masculine. It's just not a brutally masculine fragrance.

I've been asked if I'm wearing women's perfume when I was wearing my Layton sample, something that has never happened with DHI, which is my winter signature. It's all relative.

I'm only buying vintage frags to sample now. You never know what you're going to get with them, while I can pretty much predict what boring shit ill get with new frags

>>17258238
impossible to quantify "gayness" in a fragrance. it's not very feminine, if that worries you. women don't seem to buy it, compared to other masculine fragrances. pic related, just some fragrances i picked from parfumo. mitsuoko and the shalimar extrait have even higher male ownership than shalimar. does that mean a girl wearing shalimar smells gay or masculine? not really, but that's just my opinion.

why do so many companies not send out samples anymore. seems kind of crazy. Just limit it to one per address or something idk

>>17258238
nothing more masculine than being secure in your manhood and not giving a shit about being seen as "gay". I wear women's perfume and get compliments for it all the time.

>>17258216

Because brown people will request thousands of samples with 100 different email addresses and then sell them on ebay.

Shalimar EDT or EDP?

I'm done with Amouage, what a shitty ass homo house. They incense smell like smoky sausages through all they releases, just slap some oriental sweet notes over it or rose and call it different names. The longevity is bad as fuck too.

I can always say it over and over and, sample first and don't listen to Youtubers.

This is now a bois imperial thread

>Literally just wood chips and basil

KEK. Why would you make shit up.
>>17258507
amouage is absolutely worth the effort, not a fan of interlude myself, but reflection, jubliation and beach hut are all incredible fragrances that you need to atleast try.

Need some help here, i sampled quite a bit last 2 weeks:
tom ford tobacco vanille
tom ford tuscan leather
tom ford oud wood
tom ford oud tobacco
tom ford neroli portofino
xerjoff alexandria 2
creed aventus
creed viking
creed green irish tweed
creed silver mountain water
creed royal oud
by kilian angels share
by kilian straight to heaven
by kilian black phantom
mancera red tobacco
replica by the fireplace
The only one i really loved was tobacco vanille. Other than that i tought angels share and viking were pretty good. The rest was not that good i think. I thought alexandria 2 smelled really good, but it's way to strong for me i did one spray and smelled it even after 24 hours and a shower. What should i sample next, any good recommendations? Definitly wanna smell bacarat rouge 540.

>>17258600
If you are in Europe get a sampler from these guys, ignore the hipster marketing its good shit.

>>17258600
eau des baux

>>17258507
No, Amouage is pretty forgettable. You could cover Interlude, Jubilation and Reflection with other brands too. Beach hut man is a green minty fragrance that turn very sweet in the drydown.
But you should totally sample them, never blind buy.

Creed get shitted on lately, but i'm very pleased with newly bought Royal Oud. Green Irish tweed is absolute great. As a green aromatic lover, it's my all time favorite. People say that some clones or Cool Water might be better, but as soon as i tried GIT i realised that the quality is miles ahead.

we're talking about Eau Sauvage, anon, not Sauvage. normies don't buy Eau Sauvage Parfum

For me, it's Eau Sauvage Parfum.
Already bought a backup bottle.

Anyone can recommend anything like a slightly toned down kouros?

>>17258740
I hate when they add darker/sweet shit to the parfum of citrus frags. Totally rounds them off and ruins them for me

>>17258770
Antaeus isn't super similar but tends to appeal to fans of Kouros and it's definitely more elegant and less in your face with the animalics

>>17258770
Lapidus pour homme
Kouros Fraicheur

Any good EDTs that are like this but better?

>>17258765
Ok, then don't take my autism too seriously. Eau Sauvage is great, for my taste the Parfum too.

>>17258051
BI has both but decide if you like the smell bro. performance is amazing on me though

>>17258774
Antaeus I don’t like at all.
>>17258780
Lapidus is good but doesn’t reach the heights of Kouros for me. Is fraicheur easy to get?

>>17258801
>Is fraicheur easy to get?
Eh, you need to keep an eye out fir deals. Thr vintage aftershave version is stronger then the modern kouros edt so that can be a cheaper way to get it.

>>17256542
Can someone help me with lapidus black extreme batch? Is 12020 code 2012 or 2022? I own 2014 and 2016 ph and sport and they start with the year as 14f29 and 16xxx, so its actually 2012 or they recycled numbers?

>>17258543
wrong, and they are very similar anyway.
>>17258780
just got my TLPH will review another day, but it's very different from Kouros, i don't get how so many people voted it on fragrantica, barely anything in common, totally different accords. One is sharply herbal, the other syroupy sweet
>>17258847
lmao I got my bottle of TLPH and now everyone popping up with it?
I was in your same situation 10 minutes ago trying to find the code, it's hidden so well lol. It's on the bottom of the paper box, right below the TED LAPIDUS (r), it's basically invisible for me unless I shine it under direct light, you can feel it by passing a finger on it. It's like this: 20G15, 3rd place is always a letter. you are probably typing a 0 instead of an O or something like that. You can input it here
https://www.checkfresh.com/ted-lapidus.html

Good night Teddibro. Tomorrow I'm gonna wear TLPH for the first time in a packed morning commuter train, will be fun.
And I demand an extensive review of the black extreme, ph and sport in case you haven't in the previous thread.

>>17258859
>lmao I got my bottle of TLPH and now everyone popping up with it?
Ive been thru 5 bottles of 2014 lapidus pour homme lmao. Black extreme just popped for good price but i never saw lapidus batch from 2019+

>>17258868
well my bottle is from 2020, just bought it. Is this before that one IFRA thing?
damn 4 bottles of TLPH, based stinky motherfucker. I'll try 3 sprays like people recommend tomorrow, see how it goes.
Not sure I like it yet, will let it grow on me a little before judging

>>17258874
I also used like 2 100ml bottles of 80s and 90s Kouros, one 2017 and my 2020 100ml kouros is at 20ml now lmao. Never smelled lapidus black extreme tho

>>17258859
>It's like this: 20G15, 3rd place is always a letter. you are probably typing a 0 instead of an O or something like that.
Thanks so much. So i really found a bargain 100ml black extreme from 2012 with 5 sprays missing lmao love you bro

>>17258888
But it was released in 2015...

>>17258897

>>17258874
>well my bottle is from 2020, just bought it. Is this before that one IFRA thing?
Yeah, the reformulation thing was 2022, and it was actually an EU regulation and not an ifra rule change

Stong projection for and hour or two then it wears pretty close for the next 12 hours or so. I usually half to wash it off the get the drydown off. Its not a massive performenr but its adequate.

Look at all the recommendations but they're hard to find/expensive for shipping but I was able to narrow it down to 3:
Ghazi Oud Swiss Arabian https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Swiss-Arabian/Ghazi-Oud-56486.html
Velvet Oud Lattafa https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Lattafa-Perfumes/Velvet-Oud-60262.html
Shaghaf Oud Abyad Swiss Arabian https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Swiss-Arabian/Shaghaf-Oud-Abyad-54282.html
The Ghazi sounded the most interesting in terms of notes but I didn't see many reviews about it so not sure. Any thoughts/recs?

Smells like freshly crushed pepper corns for the first seconds, than it's similar to washing powder.
Best pepper frag for me is still CdG Blackpepper.

>>17259758
layton

my friend told me I smell weird, it's over

>>17259742
i find it hard to describe. its something you really need to sample.

sweet, bitter, sharp, crisp
metallic, chemicals
sterile but dirty, animalic
earthy, herbal, musky, floral, minty

sounds weird, but it just works.
you'll either love it or hate it.

>>17259742
imagine joey diaz goes into a toilet, then the toilet gets cleaned by specialists. thats the smell

>>17259742
Sharp, piercing herbal scent, pissy and strong. Settles down as more aromatic. Smells very dated of course. Powerhouse. Definition of hit or miss.

>>17259737
terrible recommendation but he's right about it smelling cheap and synthetic, that shit is fucking harsh

>>17259832
layton smells like a 800$ frag . And it costs 200$
unironically nothing synthetic

the harsh part comes from the bergamot combined with pepper and lavender

>>17259832
this is what arab clones do to a nigga

>>17259931
layton is on par with arab clones when it comes to quality, which is dogshit
either you have objectively terrible taste or the pdm marketing team decided demi didn't do a good enough job shilling their frags

what do you guys think of aaron terrence hughes? gives valid opinions about fragrances?

Give me a LOUD and sweet frag, but not too sweet like One Million.
I want everyone in the room to be able to sniff me.

I don't like him. He's really obnoxious and annoying and doesn't actually say too much. If you have to watch frag reviews from someone who's a perfumer, at least watch Ashley in Paris and not this Bogdanoff looking motherfucker

BI unironically has too much projection. Not good for the workplace

>>17260187
Least insecure Boisissy

>>17259742
its like a thick musk with a smokiness running through it. hot skin. dirty clean. hard for me to wear it out but can't stop smelling it

>>17260148
Damn, to be fair he really looks good for 47. Some of the best face work ive ever seen.

>>17260187
You 100% need that projection to get the maximum out of the scent trail, scent DNA and confident booster. Nothing is worse than a scent that fade away after few minutes.
Bois Imperial is the ultimate scent in all categories.

>>17256542
In russian prison you don't eat bananas, because they look like a penis and that's considered gay, on 4chan you don't buy phantom frag, because it looks reddit and it's gay too

>>17260229
I like scents with good longevity but intimate projection. I only want people close to me to be able to smell me, not coworkers from the other end of the room

>>17256542
just show me everyday fragrance gibs, please

>>17260233
Bois Imperial also behave like a molecule scent, it radiats when you're in motion. Nothing to worry, Bois Imperial is a acent that you can fully rely on. It's like you're going to church to find hope, after you spraying Bois Imperial it has a similar effect like you would active the immortel cheat in GTA.

>>17260098
sauvage you mong

>>17256542
I bought Bois Imperial and now my coworkers think I have weed on me. Thanks, /frag/!

>>17260187
You sprayed too much. It's stronger than it lets on.

>>17260298
I always spray only twice, once on each side of the neck.

>>17260301
Oh wow! I had to put on 4 for anyone but me to notice. Might just be your skin.

Got my sample of BI in today from luckyscent along with Carved Oud, Reflection and Reflection 45. I'm not really fond of reflection and 45 they smell like oxi-clean. Carved oud smells great on paper, i'll have to try it on skin on a cool day soon. BI is surprisingly up my alley. The basil and patchouli smell like my childhood, kinda reminds me of my mom in a good way, unlike Sedley which I smelled and thought "this smells like the rosemary soap she uses, it's not something i can wear personally". might get a 10ml of BI to give a few wears soon.

>>17260342
>The <meme scent> is surprisingly up my alley
It's not surprising.

>>17260342
Good to hear anon, Bois Imperial never fails to amaze the fragrance society.

>>17257045
>>17257429
I'm halfway through the rogue discovery set and I gotta say that anon was right, I have been bamboozled by Mr. Cross. So far these all smell dated (not in a good way), uninspired, and have piss poor performance. Reminds me of having to wait for my dad in country club locker rooms as a kid, surrounded naked, old protestants that sound like they're about to have a heart attack putting on pants. I'll stick to my TF and my CdG.

>>17260505
>have piss poor performance.
I got samples of a few of his frags a couple years ago. I didn't end up buying any but other than bon monsieur they all seemed to have good performance.
I liked most of them (i like 80s frags) but never got around to buying a bottle so i guess i didn't find them that exciting

Frags for this feel?

>>17260539
Aventus, Green Irish Tweed and Bois Imperial

based

>>17260516
Maybe I didn't apply enough with the rollerball, but Tabac Vert, Mousse Illuminee, and Chypre Siam all became pretty much unnoticeable on my skin after a few hours. Even Derviche wasn't that great for an amber. I applied it at night and it was gone by the next morning, whereas it seems like Pardon and Black Orchid will continue strong into the next day.

Looking for a soft and attractive but not loud frag that's good for dates but also daily wear
I'm the guy who gets terrible longevity out of DHI despite liking it, so something else than that please. My tastes are a bit all over the place, I like DHI but also ambery aromatic frags like LDDM, ozonic woody frags like kenzo homme parfum or fresh greens like GIT... As I said the only frags I really dislike are loud ones that project a lot, harsh eighties stuff, that kind of thing

>>17260564
if you want something similar to DHI but with great longevity you could go for the Parfum... it lasts like two days on my skin

>>17260568
I tried DHP but I didn't like it as much, it was too heavy.

Just got Leau dIssey. I don’t understand why this is so hyped. Just smells like some boring acqua di gio shit

Is anyone familiar with the house Folie a Plusiuers? They made an autogynephilia themed perfume a few years ago but its not on their website anymore and I want it because I'm a degenerate.

So i was reading that OG formulation of Aventus actually smelled oakmossy, smoky and fruity, is that true? If true, i might rethink my opinion on Aventus(atleast of the old formulation). CDNI, Hacivat, modern Aventus is just fruity, piercing plastic ambrox mix.

>>17260564
you could try something from the Gentleman Givenchy line, also lots of good elegant iris frags in that line
This is Him is a great scent too and not too expensive

>>17260615
>So i was reading that OG formulation of Aventus actually smelled oakmossy, smoky and fruity, is that true
Yup, and now people pay thousands for an old bottle from the right batch
Who cares if it maybe used to smell good if the stuff in the bottle now is garbage?

>>17260615
No, it pretty much smelled the same. All that talk of the old formula was better is just people being histers and nostalgia fags. Also reviewers damage controlling
>oh you got one of the new bottles, that's why it doesn't smell anything like i described it, the old bottles are waaayy better bro.

>>17260615
i have a newer bottle that smells very close to a really old bottle that i have. a nice balance of smokey, fruity, dry woody scents.
the longevity of the new stuff is abysmal though. 2-3 hours max. dont think ill buy again.

>hacivat
its terrible. dry unripened fruit dragged thru musky ass earth. turns rancid in hot weather.

I live in canada and I'm trying to test Continuum TUMI out before dropping $130 on it, anyone know where i can test it out either online or in person?

Creating your own fragrances: y/n?

>>17256788
Explorer is probably the best smelling alternative, the opening is not great (better than CDNIM) but the drydown is very nice. Perfect general frag you can wear whenever.

CDNIM is like Aventus but extremely loud and not that smooth but really quite close otherwise

Cedrat Boisee is slightly different, is much more musk heavy on my skin and a bit more sweet instead of smoky/spicy. I feel like I'm in Ayleid ruins from Oblivion when I wear this kek. Lasts forever and is a bit loud.

Aventus is exactly as described, much smoother than all the other alternatives. My sample is from batch 21W01 and it lasted a good 12+ hours on me, and I could smell it after a shower too so it's still a pretty strong frag.

>>17260615
Why hasn't a company put Aventus in a centrifuge and just cloned it?

>>17260728
the arab clone houses like Armaf actually use specral imaging to analyze the exact chemical makeup of whatever they're cloning
that being said, they still need to bring the formula cost down and stuff, which is why clones rarely smell as good as the real stuff

>>17256766
this some cult shit

/frag/ recommend me a rose scent that leans masculine, relatively mature (25+), and that has good projection and longevity.
Already tried Baraonda, and as much as I like the rose in there, it's way too dirty to use anywhere but in Italy while dressing as a slimeball

Maybe Noir de Noir? Its also a mature rose scent that's not skanky and leans masculine imo

What are some skanky masculine rose secnts, i want green metallic rose and filthy musk

Is there anything that smells like cedar, rosemary, and lilac?

>>17260869
Bois Belize Intense. Starts strong dark tea note and then rose creeps in. Two sprays are plenty.
