>>17384883
Is there a "The One" flanker or similar frag for summer?,

>>17384891
I'd say Encre noire sport Lalique.

>>17384883
It's the GOAT
>>17384895
It's completely different and not nearly as attractive

>>17384895
This All encre noire flankers are worth owning cuz its nice to change it up. bleu de chanel also works in winter I find.

Im new and i need help, i want something Woody and summery, i tried givenchy gentleman reserve prive and i found It too sweet, is the only 1 that kinda like It, so i pretty much know what i want. Thanks, im 23yo

Anybody tried this one ?
Paco Rabanne Black XS
I like the smell but i'm not sure it's a good choice for my brother (1m94 100 kg muscular man who never used fragrance)

>>17384962
dior homme original has some similarities to reserve prive and it lighter and less sweet
if you want something woody for the summer in general though, you could try encre noire sport, dior homme 2020 or sport, grey vetiver, even good old terre d'hermes

Blight bought Mezinsir Blue Gin

Smells good on paper strip, but the opening is complete dogshit on my skin. Dry down ain't bad, but I definitely regret this purchase.

I've sampled Very Empire before and massively prefer it as a fresh frag. Don't know why my stupid ass didn't just get a full vert empire.

Anyways. You win some you lose some.

>>17385023

Al Rehab Dakar is the epitome of homosexuality in a scent. With its catamite blend of bussy and fresh notes, this perfume exudes submission and bashfulness, the very qualities that define traditional bottom mentality. But don't just take my word for it - try it for yourself and you'll see why this is the go-to fragrance for the most homosexual men out there.

But let's be real here - not everyone is going to agree with me. In fact, some people might say that a person's sexuality has nothing to do with the scent they wear. And to those people, I say this: you're wrong. Because when you smell Al Rehab Dakar, you can't help but feel a certain homosexuality that is undeniable. It's a scent that commands attention and demands one be bent over and spread like a hunk of ripe roast beef, and that's exactly what homosexual men are all about.

Now, I know some of you might be thinking that this is all just marketing hype and that Al Rehab Dakar is just another perfume like any other. But that's where you're mistaken. Because this fragrance has been specially crafted to appeal to the most homosexual of Arabian men, and it shows in every single note. From the robust cedarwood and green moss at the top, to the spicy heart of spicy notes and sage, to the deep, sensual base of sandalwood and amber, Al Rehab Dakar is a scent that is truly and unapologetically homosexual.

So if you want to embrace your homosexuality and show the world that you're a man ready for a hot, sweaty Turkish bathhouse, then look no further than Al Rehab Dakar. It's the ultimate scent for the ultimate faggot.

>>17385057
lmao, what scent was this pasta about originally?
the "cedarwood, sandalwood, amber blah blah" shit makes me think it wasn't BI

>>17385057
The Drakkar Noir DNA is the epidome of a masculine scent. Even lesbians pulled it off to appear more masculine.

>>17385004
Blind gifting fragrances can't go wrong. Fragrances aren't a matter of taste and everyone likes the same frags. As a result, you can gift him whatever, he will like it.

>>17385080
that's why it's perfect for bear homosexuals, butch lesbians and FtM trans, aka people who try their hardest to appeal more masculine
macho frags in general appeal mostly to gay guys nowadays. women tend to prefer freshies or sweet gourmands on men

>>17385102
Women prefers freshies, but not gourmands. IMO sweet fragrances are loved by arab, black, latina girls. For nordic girls sweet fragrances can be too much. But to be honest Drakkar Noir is just a freshie aromatic fragrance, Dior Jules or New York Intense are much more masculine and amped up oakmoss.

>>17385102
>talks about masculinity
>connects it to the perception of women

I love drakar

imagine buying some arab crafted clones made for faggots instead of the real juice

We won't buy your 200$ frag when you can obtain the same results with 6 $. Spending hundreds of bucks on a scent is a feminine trait.

>>17385120
I like Arab girls, is The One fine or should I buy cloying sweet shit like SWY?

>>17385120
That's not correct, from personal experience. Women love gourmands, whether they are really sweet or not. No difference between girls, although I don't really mingle with arabs, blacks and latinas due to barely having any around here on mainland Europe.

>>17385157
Isn't Japan a fragrance wasteland? In any case, try to find Nuit d'Issey Noir Argent and bring 40 bottles to resell them.

>>17385182
pretty much, wearing perfume is perceived as being inconsiderate of others

>>17385182
yeah nips are too scared of smelling good but the women love it

>>17385163
Basically this, Bon Monsieur is based, but Dakar is perfectly fine and does the job with less money.

>>17385181
Interesting, than it's only a thing with german, denmark, scandinavian girls. Heavily sweet fragrances always gives the impression of arab, latinas, south europe. My last holiday in portugal i noticed how people there mostly wear sweet fragrances, while in northern countries mostly fresh.

>>17385172
With arab, black, latina girls you can go with The One, but also with utterley sweet almost diabetical fragrances around.

bros... why are you wearing poo in loo frags instead of eros

>>17385264
leave this thread, pleb tourist.

>>17385264
Eros is a poo in loo frag.

>>17385217
Funny that you pick out one of the countries where it doesn't apply for me.

>>17385258
God I hate shit skins. I know the idea of rape is such a part of your daily like that you have to use phrases like "can't resist" to sell your video but keep that shit away from the rest of us. God I wish there was a way to put a digital wall where it assesses your skin tone before letting you go to certain areas. My day would be so much better.

>Thinks Naxos smells like brown people

Ask me how I know you're brown or an idiot, possibly both.
Let me save you the time: Naxos smells like blonde tobacco, honey, lavender and vanilla.
If you think Naxos smells like niggers because hurrrrrr tobacco in blunts
and lotion durrrrrrrr you're an idiot, Naxos is pleasant and mass appealing unlike shit skins.
If you're a melanin overachiever and think Naxos smells like your compatriots because Naxos smells good, again, that's not true. You all fucking stink, Naxos doesn't.

>it's another poltard incel sperging episode

>>17385322
It sucks because it's now again an overly sweet tobacco shitfrag. And we all know there are millions of that kind of frags. We also know that in 3rd world countries sweet fragrances are more common than something aromatics, green, fresh.
You also write and argue like a nigger.

Imagine being a noselet and a poorfag

Dakar isn't even close to the Rogue bro, you either can't smell well or are coping hard.

What frag seems like luxury?

>>17385353
They're close, Bon Monsieur lacks also longevity, so it's not perfect for the high prize.

>>17385361
NYI is excellent. Actually, looking at my collection now, my three latest purchases (NYI, Dakar, and Kenzo Homme Intense) seem like a great all around trio. An old school "perfumy" chypre, a green coniferous fougere, and a hyper-modern "blue" frag. It's making the rest of my 20+ bottles collection look superfluous at this point

Why is LV so expensive? I wanted to get ombre nomade but it's 365$. Any better oud rose alternatives?

>>17385367
literally anything in the roja amber oud-genre (obviously not amber oud). see ojar stallion soul

>>17385353
imaging spending that much on a single frag when a 6 one does the job perfectly fine lmao get a life with better priorities
>>17385370
>>17385404
Looks like valentino but I can't find one with the golden cap like that, must be a special edition.
>>17385372
ohnononono HAHAHAHA

>>17385409
Thanks a lot lad

Anything over 300$ is asinine.

>>17385424
make it 150. For a consumable item lmao

>>17385404
>>17385409
Besides the missing golden cap, the bottle also appears way less rounded at the top when compared to the Valentino.

Anyone have any experience with this stuff?

I'm combining kiehls musk with random shit and seeing if I like the results

>>17385372
Bon Monsieur quality is undoubtedly superb, but it lacks longevity. BM is a niche version of Drakkar Noir, smells more natural, but not much different. With Dakar you can do nothing wrong, it's an amped up aromatics of Drakkar Noir, while original DN is just a citrusy fart.

>>17385424
Absolutely this. I smelled alot of samples these days, Amouage, Xerjoff, Areej Le Doré, which some even costs 1000 bucks, but smell like cheaper niche or designers from other brands.
Didn't smelled an expensive fragrance that's worth the price.

>>17385520
Not him, but why should i buy an expensive fragrance when a cheaper frag smell similar and the longevity is better?

>>17385529
buy whatever you want, all i'm saying is that if a 150 dollar product which has an use time of >6months is a lot to you, you should probably not be in this hobby, or more generally /fa/, at the first stage

>>17385533
True that. But in case of Bon Monsieur, Dakar is perfectly fine. Qualitywise is high up there.

sorry pajeets
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96saHbce7Q4

Guys I need your advice. Today I tried on Encre Noire and absolutely fell in love with it, it's truly mesmerising, I'm here taking a sniff at my wrist every 10 minutes. Only question is - at 21, am I too young for it? I can tell it's distinctly masculine and don't want to smell like i'm LARPing as a mature man

>>17385545
A pajeet at my job unironically wears Eros every day, the stereotype is true. Another pajeet wears YSL Y EDP almost every day. What is it with pajeets and crass ambroxan bombs?

>>17385554
thats not the stereotype

>>17385553
if you like it dont worry about anything else
if you take that thought to heart you will be a """mature""" man

>>17385545

https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/The-Woods-Collection/Royal-Night-63714.html
Its not exact the same but it's 90% similar smell wise and about 80% performance wise. It's also 5-6 times cheaper.

Why the fuck do people come to a thread about luxury items to complain about people who spend money on luxury items? For real, what do you get out of it

>Anything over 150 is nuts

Welcome to inflation, fucking basic bitch Chanel BdC is about $150 now.
You're happy with $6 oils you get behind the counter at a Bronx bodega. Cool, I'm unironically jealous on some level because I wish I was satisfied by that level.
You've hit your goal, so why not leave the thread? You're not trying to "convert" anyone, you're just acting smug and dismissive because you feel like a big man on a Mongolian basket weaving forum.

Are new Aventus batches really that bad?

>>17385644
yes, I own one from 2021 - it's one of my weakest fragrances. do not bother

Has anyone here tried anything from the Akro line? I bought myself some Akro Smoke and cannot get enough of it. I smell like a god damn bonfire. Thinking of getting Ink next...

>>17385489
Sweet melancholic lavander, dreamy and unisex, very calming scent, performs okay. Doesn't smell cheap and it's perfect for autumn days and nights.
>>17385520
ofc the niche buyer has shit taste in everything and is an elitist cunt.
>you don't waste thousands of euros on smelly water like I do??? lol poorfag
you are poor in the head. Especially if you think actual rich people waste thousands on fragrances. Clueless. And my academic education is higher than yours.
>>17385533
Classic delusional niche buyer who has wasted so much money to the point of no return. Now you can't even comprehend something cheap smelling good and something expensive smelling like crap, because that would be admitting you have wasted so much money and time.
>inb4 I'm le millionaire idc about money
sure you are.
You are exactly the opposite of what this hobby is about.
>>17385629
most great smelling disigners are below that threshold, if you think all designers don't smell good enough for you you are just a total snob.

>>17385489
the most synthetic white florals and cheapest form of head-ache inducing lavender; I am happy to give you my bottle away for free if you happen to live in the same country. do yourself a favour and buy a proper white floral or lavender-based fragrance instead (see Arcadia by Hiram Green, Champs Lunaires by Rogue or Carnal Flower)

>>17385370
God damn I get over spraying but why would you spray so much in the same spot

>>17385703
where do you live, anon?

>>17385553
encre noire isn't really old school smelling the way something like guerlain vetiver is. wear it and enjoy it

>>17385629
You'll always have these bitter poorfags that buy cheap shit and then cry about things they can afford. Same fags that buy shitty milsurp and pretend it's great.

>>17385756
there's something oddly weird in being so vocal and aggressive towards people who can actually afford such "luxury" products.

>>17385629
Nobody is complaining over luxury products. My collection contains like 70%niche 30%cheapies.
You know what? Do you remember the Jeff Bezos and Leo di Caprio situation? The situation where a movie filmstar almost steal the wife of the billion dollar mogul? Right, the 300+ bucks niche fragrances i smelled almost all are not worth the money, scent-wise, originality, longevity.
That scent literally smells like shit, doesn't last, nobody will smell you, but... oh... it costs 600 bucks. Very weak argument, bro. That's literally what's about the hobby, for me it's about unique, pleasing and satisfying scent experience and ultra expensive niche mostly were a let down.
Don't be the Bezos dude, rich but kitsch.

Is this any good

Or just stop shitting on each other over the price of fragrances you buy. If you want cheap, that's fine. If you want expensive, that's fine too. But just because someone doesn't buy shit that's 300+$ doesn't make them a poorfag. Anyone can buy that shit if they really wanted to, it's just not very smart to do so unless you have a lot of expendable income.

>>17385790
That was a harsh lesson in mogging...hope Jeff got over it

>>17385790
>somehow intersects the definition of niche with the price of the product
>types like mongoloid
>out of the world analogy with something that i have never heard of
thanks, I'm convinced

just saw an ad for this on facebook, the whole ad was literally just "it smells just like aventus" lol, anyone tried it?

>>17385790
Yes, most 300+ like roja, jerkoff and fragrance du Dubois have a luxury premium while not necessarily being worth the price in most cases.
I've only smelled jerkoff and they (Naxos, Alexandria II, some casamorati) have a 'synthetic' smell, like a luxury version Parfums de Marley.

>>17385826
>claims to be rich
>never heard of Bezos or di Caprio
Who are you, a millionar in a taliban camp?

nichefags get the rope.

The incels of the frag world.
Same guys who comment on anything that isn't expensive faux garbage "it's shit" without even trying it.
"It's arab therefore it surely sucks, despite this whole group of people saying otherwise".

"looool why buy a clone when you could buy the 300 $ original frag that smells the same and performs worse? poorfag"

Have sex.
>>17385824
What happened exactly?
>>17385826
ah yes, the famous niche cheap fragrances lmao shut the fuck up.

>>17385833
im not rich and i dont really care about what the price of something is but in my experience clones are shit.

>>17385833
>What happened exactly?
Jeff Bezos' girlfriend was head over heels for DiCaprio in front of Bezos. Some people use this as an example to prove that looks(and fame in this case)>>>>>money

>>17385839
Personally I think that clones are a cope, just buy something else (Speaking as a guy who doesn't have the cash to buy super expensive frags that i like)

>>17385831
where exactly have I claimed to be rich? I think any person living in a steady European country with a STEM-degree gets a steady >4-5k a month; there's plenty of room to invest in fragrances as long as one doesn't do drugs.

I don't look at the price of a fragrance when sampling, for example Costume National and Zara's Jo Malone collection has a bunch of fragrances I'd rate at a better level than most of MFK or Frederic Malle.

>>17385854
>any person living in a steady European country with a STEM-degree gets a steady >4-5k a month
you live under a rock

>>17385857
this is based on statistics of a Nordic country based on those who have a degree in CS or some related technology - that is, this is an objectively quantifiable fact

>come here during my AM shit and rip on the aspie trying to force Dakar as a meme lately
>come back later to find a bunch of spergs arguing about niche vs. Arab clones

Touch grass everyone

>>17385489
Smells cheap, lasts 15 minutes. Don't bother.

What frag should someone where who's sorely into white girls and listen daily to this?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RGQM9_ou3U0

>>17385867
CS is not exactly STEM. Or at least is not a good representative of all scientific fields. 4-5k a month is a professor's salary. And I'm in a country with very competitive salaries in europe. I wish you were right.

>>17385182
it's becoming a lot more common than it used to be, but they go for stuff that's pretty light and fresh. I think it's because people are now already accustomed to detergent/fabric softener type scents on their clothes so they tend to not want anything too far off from that.

>>17385794

just got gifted some viktor and rolf spicebomb. what are your guys thoughts on this?

Used to being a stick deodorant guy and decided on picrel as my daily scent. My question is with using a fragrance, what sort of stuff do you guys use on your underarms that prevents you from smelling like shit without clashing with your scent?

>>17386058
odourless deodorant. And people don't usually mell your deodorant unless you work out or wear axe, so anything that has a smowhwat neutral smell is alright

>>17385644

>every uncut gem review says "opening good, drydown bad"
>sample it
>opening bad, drydown good
>my phase when

>>17384891
it's quite hard to make an amber-based tobacco smell that would be light in the same way; I can only think of two Armani smells: Ambre eccentrico (https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Giorgio-Armani/Ambre-Eccentrico-31209.html)) and the very under-rated eau de cedre, which is much more tea-oriented, though (https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Giorgio-Armani/Armani-Eau-de-Cedre-31401.html))

how good perfumes from a good perfumer turn out a really down to direction/prompt from the brand/house, along with quality of ingredients and materials. someone like cecile zerokian makes elite fragrances like royal tobacco and epic woman under the direction of chong and salmon for amouage, and then harsh shitty trash like ani for the roach brand, and cheap aerosol fruit spray like bleu satin for mdci. it's all down to direction and ingredients

>>17386200
I think Etruscan Water works in that way ,it doesn´t have tobacco or ambar in the declared notes but it will give you those vibes in a "fresh" way.

>>17386211
I have to agree with everything but Ani being trash, I only learned to appreciate it after consuming 10ml decant of it. before that I really hated it. same goes for her aura sublime

>>17386231
that's a good example, actually. though Etruscan water is clearly a Chypre and I'd imagine someone wearing The One having a hard time appreciating Bianchi's work. I'm sad I didn't cop a bottle earlier when someone was selling an used bottle

actually wearing under my skin right now

>>17386257
i smelled ani at scent bar and it was just very sharp and harsh/artificial bath and body works-tier vanilla candle smell, with some badly blended spices. i have no idea what the hype is about

Hi everybody new to the hobby i got some samples and I really liked cdg 2, lddm, and dragonfly . I really want to explore more scents like these I really love the spices of lddm but am looking for something more feminine. Also I like cdg 2 but I think I want something with a bit more depth its a bit too sterile any suggestions. And then any suggestions for some femme leaning aquatic frags. Ty!

>>17386275
it's conceptual. the scent smells exactly like animal crackers. that's why it's called Ani. short for Ani-mal Crackers. I didn't dislike it. Animal crackers isn't a terrible smell. But I'd certainly never buy it.

>>17386289
Black iris Interlude by Amouage to me always feels like the a femenine Lddm

>>17386042
>i will remain stinky

>>17385102

>>17385173
pretty nice, I love Eau Sauvage for the summer. I actually just got Cerruti 1881 because people here said it's similar. I haven't worn it yet though.

>>17384864
a couple new ones today. Lapidus, which I've sampled before and like; Sung Homme, which I was memed into and don't really regret for $12 and which also is indeed pretty close to Irish Spring; Cerruti 1881 which people said was similar to Eau Sauvage; and Obession which will be a gift for someone.

And that's some of my other ones. I really thought that my older fragrances would have only been half of my collection but I can't even find a modern fragrance in my room so I guess that's where I'm at now kek

>>17385922
>>17385923
Their old ones a mostly good and they have a few interesting daring frags like myths and figment. Beach hut is nice even if a bit too sweet to me.

Other than a bottle of polo green I was gifted by my aunt it’s my first scent Ive owned and chose myself. Very new to the world of fragrances. What would you recommend for a 30 year old guy? I’d be willing to spend around $100. Ideally something that I can wear daily that you’ll notice, but not so overbearingly strong you can taste it when I walk in the room

Which is the better summer frag, the new dior homme sport or the new dior homme?

>>17386652
>recommend for a 30 year old guy
Just test everything from Fragrantica top in your local store.
Tell the attendant you do not need help.
And never ever buy 100 ml.

>>17386661
>Which is the better summer frag
Does not matter now. Before next summer there will be new and good summer frags.

>>17386652
>>17386662
>And never ever buy 100 ml
unless it is UAE frag blind buy. These faggots almost never make 50ml.

>>17386666
I only buy frags from dior or chanel. They're the only good designer houses, and niche doesn't interest me anymore

>>17386652
try a little bit of everything at a dept. store.
you'll find out real quick what specific scents you like and dislike.

went to the department store today and cant get this scent out of my head it smells so good, I have the tester card on the other side of the room and my nose keeps picking it up. Only problem is tom ford is too fucking expensive, anything similar, bros?

>>17386717
This one is quite popular on parfumo souk. if you're in yurop, you might find there good deals for bottles or decants

>>17386732
im in japan unfortunately who only have big brands in the real world and expensive imports online

>>17386717
I think zara released a new fragrance that is supposedly a very good clone of this.

>get an MFK sample set a few months ago
>don't really like anything, but find BR540 nice for a woman
>now want to get the BR540 hair mist as a gift for a girl
>sample set discount coupon doesn't work on beauty products that aren't perfumes
I'm getting it anyway but what a bunch of jews

>>17386548
Get her something from chanel, it will not dissapoint 100%, cant go wrong with chanel.

Oh and by the way about >>17386755, is BR540's scent dna inoffensive enough for normal people that it's a safe blind buy as a gift?
I know this girl likes lancome's la vie est belle but I don't really know her tastes in terms of frags other than that.

>>17386744
id be extremely grateful for a name

>>17386760
BR540 has a weird harsh plasticy note that makes it not really blind buy safe I think. Plus its super expensive.

>>17386788
Even the hair mist? I'm not getting BR540 itself just the hair spray, iirc they tend to be lighter?
I have no other present ideas

>>17386791
My bad, I was talking about the frag. Sorry, don’t know about the hair mist.

It is easy, I wanna smell like a medieval Arab warrior chilling a tobacco filled coffee house in Baghdad.

>>17386781
cherry smoothie

>>17386788
what the fuck are you talking about? what plastic note you fucking ape? The only "questionable' note that some people get from b540 is iodine, but it's still one of the most well received niche perfumes all around.

>>17386781
cherry smoothie

>>17386548
do you know some perfumes in her collection?

Bros... How the fuck do we cope with the fact that Club de Nuit Intense Man smells better than 99.9% of fragrances in existence? I've spent thousands on niche shit and all of it gets mogged by CDNIM...

>>17386855

Quorum's performance isn't all that great, but it's a very nice one anyway. I have a vintage from 1992. The newer one isn't as resinous or sharp.

I already have Dakar but the bottle doesn't look kino.

I blind brought Acqua di Gio Giorgio Profumo i think its amazing. does anyone know any safe blind buy for winter scents?

>>17386887
Get Eucris Edp it's Quorum but with huge nuts.

>>17386861
good lord that's a big cope. tell me faggot, what fragrance are you currently wearing?

>>17386661
dior homme cologne

>>17386988
It's the best men's fragrance, the only downside being longevity. I've already explained this to you.

>>17387004

>>17387006
d&g the one is literally ck one shock sold under a different name for 5x the price top kek

>>17386980
I was reading around, and that doesn't seem to have staying power. Do you guys think Pure Malt is a good blind buy?

>>17387019
You're a noselet and too stupid to get designer frags for cheap. No wonder you don't own The One, it's too based for you.
>>17387024
Longevity can be worked around by just spraying more. It's not an expensive frag if you're not retarded (like the guy I replied to above), so just get a 150ml bottle and overspray.

>>17387027
>this fragrance costs more than that one so it must be better!
You're the type of faggot that buys Aventus, aren't you?

>>17387042
>he also completely lacks reading comprehension
Par for the course I guess. Keep seething and smellling like shit, noselet

I miss this little nigga
When most of you were in middle school this was the king of cheap fragrances. Smelled gorgeous.

I went to the mall to try out some frags and was left really puzzled by this. This has been lauded as the king of nocturnal, sexy, date night scents but I'm not getting that at all. All I'm getting is Johnson's Baby Powder. Extremely powdery. Has reformulation killed this or did I just try out a bad bottle?

>>17386968
are they actually that similar? have both on my list but hard to get either of them right now.

>>17387048
>The One wearer thinks 'smelling' is spelled with three Ls
Par for the course I guess. Keep being retarded.

>>17386957
>>17387024
Pure Malt is discontinued and overpriced, so don't buy it unless you've tried it and really like it. In fact, blind buying isn't a great idea if you can help it. But here's some popular winter frags that are no brainers:
>Z&V This Is Him
>V&R Spicebomb Extreme
>Ferragamo Uomo
>YSL La Nuit de l'Homme
>TF Noir Extreme
>Prada Luna Rossa Black
>Guerlain L’Homme Ideal edp
>Cartier Pasha de Cartier Parfum

>>17387055
Eucris edt is like 80-90% to Quorum, the Edp with better longevity is like you take the mossy part of New York Intense or Mousse Illuminee and add it to Quorum.

>>17386988
>The One
very mass-pleasing, easy amber-tobacco designer fragrance that lasts about 2 hours on your skin. I wore this throughout high school.

>>17387054
it's one of the better designer fragrances out there; it shouldn't be powdery but just straight-up cardamom

>>17387024
> Do you guys think Pure Malt is a good blind buy?
no, everything in the Pure X-line is very synthetic and bad. don't do it anon. if you want something ambery go for ambre khandjar and for booziness grab a bottle of lubin idole

>>17387063
these are all shit outside of pasha cartier

Lmao, your rec have bad longevity, also is a vanilla bomb. How about something serious aromatic, green, fresh with bombastic longevity and low price range, Dakar... uh oh.

>>17387081
i picked up a few cremo fragrances for xmas gifts. theres a bunch of them for under $20.

>>17387091
bourbon and vanilla smells pretty great as well.

>>17386760
BR540 is rather safe, surprisingly. That's why there are already a million clones of it. You can just get Cloud instead. Only BR540 Extrait would be better than that.

>>17386957
Every designer is a safe blind buy. They just quickly become boring and often the performance isn't great.

What does it smell like?
>>17386744
Are Zara frags good in general?

>>17387132
>Are Zara frags good in general?
no, an exception to this is the jo malone collection - bergamot & leather spritz and vetiver pamplemousse are fantastic fragrances, first being (a little synthetic) DHP and the latter having one of the better vetiver drydowns I have smelled

What are some wearable base scent profiles I should be looking at to round out my collection, excluding:
- Amber/Vanilla - already have
- patchouli - already have
- leather - already have
- tonka, ambroxan - can't stand them

I was thinking of Oud but they seem to gravitate heavily towards pricy niche and wood in general always smelled too linear in the drydown to me

>>17387173
aromatic fougere
tobacco
a good rose (poal, anthoine lie's work, emiro Moresque)

>>17386661
>dior homme cologne
I like the Sport a little more myself I think and it's more refreshing probably, so more suited to really hot temperatures

Where’s the cheapest place to get Bois imperial? Wearing my sample of Ganymede and I want BI now!

>>17387173
Sandalwood, I like guerlain heritage

>>17386652
Do you like polo green? Something similar but different is Caron yatagan.

>>17387081
JeP Neroli Intense. or a decant of something

>>17385553
You’re too young. Wear axe deodorant.

>>17387132
>Are Zara frags good in general?
they're alright. some are better dupes, some are worse dupes. across the board most have bad longevity. there are some outliers, 9.0 seemed to be popular.
also rich warm addictive is imo one of the best rum fragrances. it's just a very strong, boozy vanilla rum. yeah jazz club is nice but the rum in that just doesn't punch as hard as in RWA. bentley intense neither.
>>17387268

Ganymede and BI are incredible sexy. Sniffed my sample of Ganymede again, the minerallic, dry woody opening is heaven on earth, the drydown is too much Immortelle.

Not a shill post, what’s wrong with wearing Ganymede and wanting to purchase BI. Let me guess, you prefer Dior homo because you’re a faggot.

Wore Caron pour homo sport the other day. It’s pretty nice. Astringent menthol. Even though it says no menthol. Cleared up my sinuses nicely.

>>17388139
Yet it is voted as such. Can't explain that.

>>17388209
>The reality is only what I want it to be.

>>17388284
Profumo gets mogged in blind ratings, though. Don't see how that one would be more believable. It's just another boring aquatic. BdC is based and Sauvage is just a fragrance of the time, just like Le Male and 1 Million or even Cool Water used to be.

>>17388037
Club de Nuit Intense Man mogs all of these fragrances if we're being completely honest with ourselves.

Missoni Wave and Dakar mog all of these fragrances if we're being completely honest with ourselves.

>>17388369
Interestingly enough even the Baldassare noselet squad can mostly tell CDNIM from Aventus:
https://youtu.be/aYbTBDC0xuM
The only thing that CDNIM mogs is the price of Aventus.

Wearing the blue flanker of Encre noir. It’s pretty nice. Probably will end up buying a bottle of en eventually. Maybe after buying a bottle of BI. Is there anywhere I can get it less than 75$ in America?

I heading to Paris for work. Are there any fragrance places I should check out? Are there any fragrances that are exclusive to Paris that are worthy of buying? I like guerlain masculine classic frags.

I have four frags after streamlining, I think that's enough. Kind of tired of this "hobby"

Why tf do i never get compliments on LNDL bleu electrique... I hooked up with 2 girls wearing luna rossa carbon and the one edp and they both said I smelled good, so on other dates I thought they'd love bleu electrique, but nobody ever says anything when I wear it... it doesnt make sense

decided to sample this in the mall as i was getting fed up of my Axe spray. I went to the men's section as i was tagging along with my mom who was looking for a specific perfume.
i was eyeing the brands, unaffected. dior, hermes, paco rabanne.. until something caught my eye on the YSL section. this assertive white block of elegance did something to stop my gaze, i felt my penis grow heavier and press against my thigh, but thought nothing of it.
I took decisive leaps towards the bottle like a tiger about to maul a lost african child.
I got startled as soon as i grabbed hold of the bottle, my pulse got higher and my breathing got faster, i was doubting if i should do this. I think i was up for it so I went for it anyway. Not a second after, one of the employees (blonde, big tits, super model-tier, literally hot) carrying perfumes dropped all of her bottles to the floor causing a mess of shards of glass on the floor. I was unfazed, unsure how to react with this new power that took hold of me. she came to me with a note and handed to me and leaned in to smell my neck intimately. I read the note "spit blowjob in the toilet?". i was wearing a tapout graphic tee with a blazer and my hair spiky with gel. my mom comes back to me and says "lets go".

be careful where you spray this one, fellas
you might have a whole pack of vile horny sluts, bitches and whores drool for you in heat. an ancient greek style masculine classy sexual heat that is

>>17388514
I stick with my recommendation of yatagan. It still has the piney earthy feel but wears more like a cologne or aftershave where polo green is more formal. Give yatagan a try. Otherwise there’s many different directions you can go.

>>17388469
This "hobby" is nothing but an autistic money sink.

>>17388566
There are ways to profit from the “hobby”. Buy low sell high. My collection is worth 2 to 3 times what I paid for it. Not that I’m selling. I make enough money that I’m not worried about it.

>>17388605
>There are ways to profit from the “hobby”
>I didn't profit from the hobby myself though, hahah
come on anon, you buy smell water and you spray it on yourself, it's hardly a good way to make money unless you never use your frags and just collect them to sell later

Started being a fraghead few years ago when I bought Replica's by the fireplace on a whim. Now have sampled and bought more designer & niche frags, and a few days ago decided to go back to by the... and found it smelling almost oily and more like a candle from a department store? Has anyone else experienced something like this with Replica

>>17388564
>piney earthy feel
My favorite scent for myself. Love anything that has a wooded scent. Reminds me of being in the sierras. I’m definitely going to give this a try thanks anon

>>17388955
it's alright. less gay than toy boy. honestly all the rammstein frags were kind of overhyped, still not bad for the price though. couldn't find a tester for kokain black intense.
