The Fragrance Flowchart for beginners

The Fragrance Groups 101 Chart

From how far away do you spray your fragrances? are there distances that make a critical difference when it comes to performance?

>>17403668
my auntie taught me that as a lady I should spray and walk into the scent

>>17403671
dumb and wasteful. just spray it on your skin

>>17403671
just spray out of your window at this point troon.

>>17403671
>as a lady

DH and DHI are unwearable for me. Yes, yes I know that they are supposed to be for a man who doesnt care about chiches of masculinity, but who are we kidding here? You can wear a fragrance just for yourself, but you will be damaging the perception that other people have of you if its bad, if you wear it in the wrong season etc. With DHI and DH, people are just going to think you are gay or weak (I know its superficial, but thats just how it works, and Ive asked a few girls for their opinions, not one even liked DHI) unless you are 40 something years old and dont get out of a suit. And why would you care about what other people think of you? Well, especially when you are 20 like me, its important. Its important what prfessors on the university think of you, lawyers that you meet sometimes as a practice, potential clients, colleagues... we are not living alone in this world and we depend on other people.

>>17403713
Im not saying this to be mean or put you down, but DHI is an absolute compliment monster. It’s extremely low hanging fruit. To be honest other people enjoy it more than I enjoy it myself. I enjoy knowing that other people enjoy it. Have you considered that if it doesn’t give you compliments, DHI isn’t the problem, YOU are the problem. If DHI doesn’t get you compliments, nothing will.

Maybe you are just carrying yourself in a way that makes you creepy/unpleasant that people don’t want to give you a compliment. You should work on yourself. This is a very hard pill to swallow and I’m not saying this to be dick, I’m trying to help you and other anons improve yourselves.

It’s funny, the anons who tried DHI and didn’t like it because it didn’t get them compliments are outing themselves as creepy neckbeards that nobody likes.

Anons who enjoy DHI and gets compliments are diorchads that people aren’t scared to give a compliment because they aren’t creepy.

Kenzo Homme Intense is actually more similar to Ganymede than it is to BI. Take the leather and violet leaf out of ganymede and add in some fig/coconut and you have Kenzo Intense

>>17403734
Im sorry, but the 2000s were not a good time for fashion, and the scents of that time might be good in a few decades like the old fragrances are coming back now, but let the iris DH stay in 2000.

ok guys, i need your expertise. i tried pic related yesterday.
Today i can still smell it and by now i should only smell base notes right? (correct me if i'm wrong)
whatever is left of the smell gives me cocaine vibes, but sweetened.
i searched the web for the notes. it's a big clusterfuck with a lot of notes.
Can you point out what gives me that impression of this smell? I can't
xoxo
and have great holidays

>>17403734
lmao based pasta rework

>>17403755
Notes are made up and don't matter anymore. Do you want to have more fragrances smelling like cocaine?

>>17403749
you would think so, but DHI has been genuinly my MOST COMPLIMENETED fragrance ever, and it has also been the only fragrance that felt like an actual needle mover when it came to dating, whilst other fragrances can add 0.25 - 0.5 if you had to put them on a scale, they complete the look, set the mood etc. DHI felt like it added 1.0 maybe even 1.25, which for just a fragrance is fucking ridiculous, and because of those experiences it boosted my confidence even more. Try it for yourself. It might just make you feel like a man for the first time in your life, and if you have never had a father, it might just make you understand how big is the hole in your psyche that you need to fill out yourself.

>>17403734
I owned Dior homme. About a year ago, after realizing i was almost out, I purchased "dior homme intense/eau de parfum). Both smell like heaven on earth (same with gucci pour homme II). the eau de toilette "pour homme" probably smells better to me (from my recollection), but it's hard to tell, my bottles are ages apart. both smell magnificent, masterpieces. you can say they smell like a "makeup bag", but what guy, gay or straight, knows what that smells like. what it smells like is heavenly powder and cacao. either way, it is heaven, masculine or feminine. wear some "dior homme" and embrace the fact that androgyny is perhaps the most timeless quality of all.

Some of you fags need a reality check, you've gone too far down the rabbit hole. You autistically obsess over fragrances and label them as being either good or shit (no middle ground), as being for summer or winter, for this occasion or that occasion, etc. The fact is 99% of fragrances smell nice and for the most part it doesn't matter what you spray on yourself. If you're attractive then smelling good is just the cherry on top (pretty much any fragrance will do). If you're some ugly loser it doesn't matter if you're wearing a ridiculously expensive niche fragrance or a mass-pleasing compliment-getter, ultimately you're still an ugly loser.

>>17403800
What if I just like smelling different frags and don’t give a shit about compliments?

Yesterday I tried Dior homme parfum at work for the first time ( I work in a highway booth, a really closed and hot environment) and I was enjoying the fragrance a lot, but after a few hours I started to get some fecal notes and I was almost going to puke. I didn't even know where that came from, I went into fragrantica to see if someone even mentioned that because I'm aware that this fragrance evolves a lot and noone was saying anything even remotely similar that that so I assumed it was the mix with my body chemicals what was causing it (quite a hard pill to swallow as a frag head that your body chemistry has notes that makes you smell like shit) . The smell wasn't going away and I ended my shift thinking about swapping it for something fresher on Reddit.

Turns out I shat myself at work without noticing. My fucking chair has a big dent in the middle like a bad bicycle chair and it pressured my perineum area too hard that it got numb and it seems something leaked out by accident. One coworker when she came in the middle of the night so I could go to my break time asked me about my fragrance because the whole booth was smelling a lot and I told her it was Dior.

Now I think she was making fun of me.

everything about the way this guy looked triggered me yesterday as i was thinking whether to cop azzaro l'eau

Bros, just tried the Maison Margiela Replica 10 scent sampler and I'm in love with Springtime in the Park... can I pull it off as a young guy (that's on the feminine side)?
And most importantly, will it attract girls that are on the autism spectrum?
I also quite liked Under The Lemon tree, if you guys think that Springtime is too feminine I'm fine with going with that instead.

What are some good oud fragrances?

>>17403900
>can I pull it off
No, because you are already insecure about wearing it. That is before we even talk about how specific "young guy on the feminine side wanting to attract autistic girls" is. In general MMM makes crowdpleaser designers and not niche stuff, so wear whatever from them.

>>17403900
1. KYS you disgusting fag
2. females are incapable of being autistic
3. there is no spectrum
4. >>17403913 what this cunt said. you are already insecure about wearing it

Anyone that has a fragrance that makes me smell fruity and flowery without someone thinking that I am either a (a) woman (b) trans (c) homosexual

like something manly and flowerlike

>>17403900
i never understood this type of thinking, none cares whether or not your smell is feminine unless its some 80sh chypre. just wear what you like

>>17403916
Creed or ombre leather, even to the latter turns out to be too flowery on the dry down

>>17403916
Also terre d'hermes parfum

>>17403913
>>17403915
>>17403919
I wouldn't say insecure. I just live in a backwards shithole where people look at you funny if you're not wearing a Nike aftershave which is why I'm worried if it's too feminine. Spraying it on myself I really really love how it smells on me and it seems perfect for me. Probably gonna end up buying it desu

Thoughts on pic related? I have an old bottle of this that I haven’t worn in about a decade. But it was my go to bottle when I was in college (not that I wore it often). I would get laid regardless of if I wore it or not.

>>17403972
My other bottle from high school and college is pic related. Any comment on this one? Might dust them off and try them out again. Would be interesting to see how my taste has changed. My other two wore chrome and Tommy Bahama for men (unfortunately discontinued)

>>17403888
Azzaro leau is ass. Really does smell like a cough drop. The OG with a mentholated citrus. I don’t understand why you’d grow out that Amish beard. I wonder what goes on in his mind. The marvel hat and the beard together are kind of endearing because he’d have to be an innocent retarded to want to wear that, but he also may be a rapist

recommend me a cardamom frag. i really like african leather but it's a bit too pricey. wasn't impressed with declaration

Jerkoff. Overpriced gaudy shit with a ridiculously amount of fragrances. I'm sure some of them smell alright.
Naxos and Alexandria II were disappointments.

Have I reached endgame yet?

Dior homme intense is for women (and that's a good thing)

>>17404187
I had to throw away the moschino bear one because it started to smell fucking revolting to me for some reason

>>17404193

It is fucking revolting. I absolutely hate it, and I'm waiting for the perfect moment to give it away to someone.

It's there just so I can remind myself of not getting baited by comments on fragrantica, but rather order samples first.

>>17403765
i want to sample some frags

>>17404197
It's seriously the worst perfume I've ever smelled, have no idea why I bought it. I even tried it in the store first. Am I retarded?

>>17404197
>>17404201
Also don't give it away, don't inflict that shit on anyone

>>17404203

I mean, I can totally see it on an older person. I'm talking 70+. The smell of 'I'm almost dead, but here's some roses' is strong.

could you name the 3 yellow juices to the right and the furthest right bottle?

went to le mall the other day and picked up some tom fords ombre leather, and I like it. The best way I can describe it is kind of a woody, solid tone. It doesnt smell floral so I went with it. I like it and its been a solid companion since. Anyone have some more recommendations for another dude oriented type smell, along the same lines?

>>17404209

>Profumum Roma - Aqva Di Sale

>Essential Perfumes - Bois Imperial (Everyone in here should have one, at least for the memes)
I like to spray this one on my couch etc. Gives a fresh vibe to the furniture.

Bois Imperial is literally the only one I bought from /frag/ and it's not too bad.

>>17404238

Can't wear Muscs Koublai Khan in the summer, bro.

>>17404453
It's ok, got some sweet elements to it. Smells nothing like ocean to my nose. The projection is also low.
Get Salaria from Giardino Benessere instead for a cheaper alternative.
Megamare is better.

What frags would this chad wear?

>>17404478
Bogart Signature

>>17404453

This post is someone else responding to you --> >>17404462

I'd say it smells like you've been at the beach the whole day, and now you're back home, just took a nice shower and had sex afterwards, and now you're ready for a nice evening beach street walk.

Really fresh 'bubbly ocean' smell, if thats even a thing. And dont listen to the guy who said the projection is low, two sprays of aqva di sale will sit on your skin and project for over 24h. When you wake up, it's the first thing you'll smell.

>>17404464
>>17404467
I’ve got oud minerale. I like it but don’t love it. The performance is great but there is a synthetic note that is very persistent. Black Sea Lorenzo Pazzaglia Sounds great but I can’t find anyone carrying samples and it’s expensive to buy in America. For now my only sea frags are bvlgari aqva and oud minerale

>>17404056
yea tried both, not a fan of either. just kind of boring. i'd be down for something darker too. maybe i should just save up for african leather...

>>17403988
>>17403972
It’s funny, these smell real dated to me then things like guerlain vetiver and Caron pour un homme do not.

>>17404187

Fuck I just ordered tuscan leather 50ml. What's wrong with me.

>>17404545
Kek what an idiot. You’ll smell like a nigger

>>17404555

It surely does smell of decadence, but that's perfect for late nights.

I tried TL at the mall and I kinda liked the cocaine opening. Unsure about the dry down though, but oh well, now it's ordered.

tested a bunch of frags today. guerlain vetiver, habit rouge (l'instinct or whatever too), heritage, multiple cartiers, nasomattos, nicolais, initios and cdgs. majority was mediocre or boring. ironically guerlain shalimar was the most interesting, sadly they didn't have jicky. jaipur boucheron pour homme was alright but i dont understand the hype
musc ravageur was really nice and portrait of a lady smelled unique at least.

>>17404557

>>17404566
>ironically guerlain shalimar was the most interesting
idk why that's ironic, it's often called the best women's frag of all time for a reason

>>17404574
because all the other popular guerlains were not that good (mitsouko included).
vetiver was kinda nice now that i think about it, even if it's boring

>>17404566
What are your thoughts on the other guerlains? L’instant reminds me of a non gay version of Dior homo original

>>17404545
What's the deal with the TF Tuscan Leather meme? Is it overrated or is it just a shitty frag?

>>17404570
Isn't Afnan 9pm just a clone of Ultra Male? the only difference is the apple note instead of pear

>>17404597

it’s a meme because it’s the name of a kanye/drake song

Now I just hope it wasn't TL so I'm not mistaken for some sort of normie drake-lover

Thoughts on Tom Ford Costa Azzurra?

>>17404642
Had the acqua version, really liked it as i enjoy easy to wear frags, so i didnt mind that people claimed its watered down. After a while i noticed the saltiness made it harder to wear casually, despite it being more watery.

Then i decided to sample Costa Azzura. WOW. So much better, so much more nuanced and just balanced, while still being fresh enough to wear in high heat. I definitely think it's one is the one to get, even for a casual fragrance.

I will say that as it dries down it gets progressively saltier, which gets it a little more "serious," but its still good stuff.

what's something warm or spicy for winter
preferably not too expensive

>>17403659
Consensus on drakkar “timeless classic” noir

>>17404570
Not like it is a complex frag or anything. It stays sickly sweet the whole time.

>>17403905
Tom Ford Oud Wood
Mancera Aoud Exclusif
Lattafa Oud for Glory (Oud for Greatness clone if you want to shell out hundreds for the same thing)
Al Haramain Oudh 36 Nuit

>>17404648
Thank you for the thoughtful response. Sephora seems to have a frag sale until Saturday so once I get paid I'm going to pick one or two things up

>>17404654
It's a timeless classic for sure, and the father to every men's shower gel of the last 30 years. It's the frag I've known the longest; my dad used to wear it in the early 90s, and 6-year-old me somehow ended up with a small bottle of it back then. I used to spray it just to take sniffs because it smelled so good.
It's hard for me to think about it in terms of notes; it just smells like Drakkar Noir, like the essence of a clean, put-together grown-up man. The current formulation smells exactly like it did back then, though I can't speak to how the performance might have declined

>>17403905
ScentsbySkanda on Etsy makes nice oud , deer musk, and oakmoss fracs

And with this I'm done for the next six months. My collection is at a point I'm happy with, only looking to pick up a rough leather fragrance and I'll have something to represent every group. In June I'm going to re-evaluate, group everything into dislike/like/love and eliminate all the dislikes and probably some of the likes too. Then if I have any holes patch as necessary. If something new and interesting comes out I'll grab a decant because even 5ml of a fragrance will last over a year in the current rotation.
Feels good. Been collecting for decades, all my needs are fulfilled, my collection is robust but not excessive and I just don't feel the new to buy anything else.

Frag noob here. Tried Dior Homme 2020 really expecting to like it but really did not. Sport was better, but wasn’t into it enough to buy a bottle. What else should I try along these lines? Terre d’Hermes?

I put on a spray of my black afgano decant today, thinking "maybe I'll finally get it"

I made it an hour before the urge to scrub it off set in

I made it three hours before the nausea set in

I made it five hours before I got an overwhelminng urge to strip off my clothes, burn them, and take a 3 day shower

I have now reached a dissociative state and I am observing my body typing this on a laptop, from across the room

>>17404462
I have a sample of Megamare and I was a little disappointed. I mostly got Aquatic + Pepper and it's not gross like I'd heard. I have a bottle of Kerosene - Walk The Sea, which scratches that beachy itch for me, and people have told me smells disgusting and to never wear it around them. I'd also like to try Oud Minerale and see how it stacks up compared to the other two.

>>17404866

only really care about vetiver, it smelled the most intense compared to other vetiver frags i tried (creed, tom ford, montale). l'homme ideal intense is alright but i get cherry from it which i'm not a big fan of. but i'm also not the target group of it.

yeah Terre d'Hermes is a bit similar to DH 2020 but has way more character to it. definitely worth try Grey Vetiver too while you're at it

it's more like they didn't have the concepts of "straight" and "gay", just "masculine" and "not masculine"
that's also why gilgamesh fucks men in his famous epic. fucking other men was considered masculine, as long as you were the one doing the fucking

Of the three, the price:quality ratio of Ferragamo is insane and I can't understand why it's not hyped more. Very thick,dense,creamy fig and wood scent

>>17405181
You're welcome! We probably have similar tastes so I highly recommend trying this one

https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Les-Indemodables/Escale-En-Indonesie-62329.html

One of my favorite fragrances of all time, manages to work in nearly every situation and setting while not being boring. I read an article on Fragrantica that claimed Escale was a niche version of Sauvage and I dismissed that at first because I can be snobbish. But it's true, it doesn't smell like Sauvage mind you but its a niche workhorse that actually cheaper than Sauvage and performs well too. Got it from randomly sampling.

Same with Divine L'Homme Sage. If you haven't you'll be pleasantly surprised at how great it smells. Very unique combination of notes. Litchi, cardamom, immortelle and cedar in a masculine, airy woody fragrance. One of the only frags I've ever seen where the "reminds me of" section is blank. And for good reason, it doesn't really remind me of anything else.

It's a little sad how the bulk of the conversation here revolves around the same scents. With the rise in cost of designer frags (140-180 for Sauvage Elixir and BdC Parfum) the gap in price between niche and designer is gone. Especially when you look at CdG frags averaging $110-120. Escape en Indonesie was $120. He'll look at the prices of the bottles I just ordered.

For anyone "bored" in this hobby just go to Luckyscent, go to the brands list and work your way down alphabetically. If it costs less than $300 for a bottle and seems interesting, buy a sample. The samples cost $4-7 and will get you 2-3 wears. I think beyond $300 you get diminishing returns for the money you spend.

its pretty brutal on first spray. a sharp and musky chemical smell, like a janitors closet.
give it 15-20min. it mellows out some and you can begin to pick out different notes.

Feels very CdG, mint and incense is a strange combo but it absolutely works here. Great performance, great smell, if you worked this into the CdG incense line up no one would know it didn't belong.

What's the general consensus on JPG Le Male and flankers?

>>17405327
le male is okay. the rest are objectively shit

>>17405323
what if I am jeremy

>>17405327
Le male is good but underwhelming nowadays. Le male le parfum is fantastic, one of the best designer frags.

>>17404979
>>17405149
Late reply, but thanks bros, I’ll look into these.

>>17405327
As already mentioned, OG Le Male is a shadow of its former self. Still good, but not what it used to be. I wore this when I was young and I don't know why people think this belongs in the past, it's still a frag for a wide range of ages which starts somewhere in the late teens.
Le Male Le Parfum reminds me a lot more of the OG Le Male I had back in the days, because the opening of OG Le Male was very similar. It's linear, spicier and warmer than Le Male (which is very fresh in comparison), but I prefer it over Le Male by now.
Ultra Male is ultrasweet. For me, it was too sweet. I had a feeling like this would be something a zoomer would shill on their frangrance tiktok. As it is with supersweet and powerful fragrances like this one, it is well received by others, though.
Le Beau Le Parfum was okay, haven't smelled regular Le Beau. Might be too sweet for me, though. I don't mind vanilla and sweetness, but I associate Le Male with a bit more masculinity than this has (same with Ultra Male). I'm sure that's just my nostalgia talking.
Fleur du Male was one of the best masculine white florals. Probably had cancer juice in it and got discontinued for that.
Haven't tested any other, there are too many.

Currently testing the coffee line from maison tahite, first impression? coffee bomb opens up with a hair salon smell. It overwhelmingly smells like hair products. Vicious Cacao is much more pleasant, it's pink pepper with cacao and the faintest raspberry

>>17405206
definitely Dior Homme Parfum
the only fragrance I really whole-heartedly love and never get tired of.
maybe because it's so accessible and easy to like and yet it also evolves quite a lot on my skin, so I'm never bored with it. it helps that the longevity is great as well

>>17405327
the original Le Male is a timeless classic at this point IMO. it still smells relevant and modern because of the sweet gourmandish oriental base and the fougere top helps it stand out from the crowd of citrus and pure gourmand frags out there

>>17405334
Must have been a true genius and master perfumer who made it.

>>17405211
it smells more like fresh orange rind to me, but I know some people are put off by the orange in TdH

>>17405379
update. coffee bomb is just a fucking heliotrope bomb with jasmine and musk in the background, this breakdown is an absolute scam, it should be white florals, green and musk

I feel my miniscule collection is lacking, what should I get to make my collection more versatile.

>>17405440
nope. first there was the original dior homme, with the iris. big hit in the 2000s
then there were flankers (new fragrances based on the original and sharing some of its scent profile) - the sweeter, heavier dior homme intense and the leathery, even heavier dior homme parfum
and then Dior decided the original dior homme is getting outsold by its flankers, so they released a completely different scent by that name - dior homme 2020, which has no iris and basically nothing in common with most of the line

yeah, it's dumb, but just an extreme example of how modern designer frags work - often everything is released as a flanker even if it could be an original frag by itself

>>17405463
it's already mostly really versatile scents. if anything, you're missing some big strong statement frag or something more old school classy

>>17405469
I don't know, I feel like it's lacking.. something
I think it's because all of them are kind of citrus-y so they invoke a sense of sameyness in me.

>>17405206

>>17405463
you do not have anything suitable for winter, dates, and you do not have 'masterpiece" a stunner of sorts, you legit have 3 blue fragrances, 1 summer frag and 1 either date night or daily spring / autumn frag in the one depending if it's EDT or EDP.
I will never understand people who actually collect frags but then they buy almost exclusively blue scents

>>17405502
I bought like 3 during last summer and then only bought a bottle every 6 months or so, so I guess that's why it's so imbalanced

>>17405206
Never gets old. Always interesting. Never out of place

>>17405444
It's quite messy so don't feel stupid.


The original iris heavy "Dior home eau de toilette" is now called "Dior homme original". Available at Dior's website and can be found else where if lucky.

"Dior homme intense" is the eau de Parfum version and is readily available.

"Dior homme Parfum" have an added leather note. Can be bought at Dior site. Hard to find same as "original".

New "Dior homme 2020" is what you find in all the stores now. Have no iris note and smell nothing like the ones mentioned above. Hence the confusion.

Then you have Dior homme Cologne and the dior homme sport flankers.

>>17405206
Yes. I love b540 DNA. No shame in that.

>>17405502
what would you recommend me buy?
I'm not really experienced.

>>17405545
Eitherway, it's fine you've got an ok base, so after buying a winter scent you are basicly free to buy whatever retarded shit that will rarely get used.
I would try some of those
Black Orchid Tom Ford
Ombré Leather Tom Ford
Noir Extreme Tom Ford
Tuscan Leather Tom Ford
Fahrenheit Le Parfum Dior
Fan Your Flames Nishane
Grand Soir Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Musc Ravageur Frederic Malle
Dior Homo Intense
By the Fireplace Maison Martin Margiela
Jizz club Maison Martin Margiela
African Leather Memo Paris
Le male Le parfum Jean Paul Gaultier
or any of the stronger with you flankers.
Most of those will work fine as a daily scent for winter or a date scent.
You could also try exploring some classics like Shalimar, Jicky, Mitsouko.

Vintage Grey Flannel just came in the mail, it's a 90s French Fragrances formula bottle. This shit is fucking STRONG, its full bodied and rich compared to the current juice which is a bit sharper and "hollow," and the violet smells a lot like the violet from GIT and Fahrenheit. The juice is also a deep green compared to the current juice which is clear, and there are bits of solid particulate matter (maybe oakmoss, probably just precipitate from storage) floating around. Take the Grey Flannel pill bros

>>17405621
I love Grey Flannel, especially the earthy, powdery, green Opening(probably the Galbanum and Iris). How's the vintage differs from the recent formulation? I hope the oakmoss is more amped up, less tonka bean and almond.

>>17405625
More oakmoss, more violet, and yes less tonka bean and almond. Like I said the violet is stunningly similar to that of GIT/Fahrenheit. It's pretty fucking legit stuff, perfect for this rainy weather on the east coast right now. I'm in correspondence with the guy who writes FromPyrgos and he told me that the current EA formula does get pretty similar to vintage after macerating with air in the bottle for a while though.

>>17405563

every few months there is a wave of testers, it's actually a very wearable boozy leather scent with a bit of smoke.

>>17405827
how much do the testers usually go for?

I'm in my very early 20s, interning at a corporate-type business, and my time is over end of Jan '23. I fucking hate the other intern there and I have a cold that I think I can keep going for a bit to keep me noseblind. What's the best fragrance ever for inducing headaches? We work together alone in basically a broom closet and I wanna get back at that fucker subtly. It can't be liquid shit because I have dignity and I need plausible deniability that I just "like" the fragrance and chose to wear it. I'm wearing a suit btw so projection needs to be off the charts to get through my layers of clothes and really fuck up this prick's nostrils permanently. I want the fragrance that would be used at gitmo to torture terrorists from a mile away, the polar opposite of universal compliment-getter fragrances. I don't care if everyone else in the office hates me for it either

I think Rien could work fine. last time I used a single spray from a tiny sample vial at my mom's place she had to open the windows to air out the "horrid smell". very in your face combo of smoke, leather and aldehydes with hilarious performance and it's not overly expensive

you should already know whether or not your dad will like it, so our opinion doesn't really matter. or are you blind gifting fragrances? that's even worse than blind buying frags, because you don't disappoint yourself, you disappoint someone else. they will feel like you don't really know them. so good luck on your purchase. may your dad get disappointed by you once more.

>>17405884

Akro Smoke is a really smoky tobacco frag, as the name would suggest, and well priced. should be a better fit for your needs than more conventionally appealing sweet tobacco frags

I found the top notes of Jaipur to be really fresh and well-balanced, but as it dried down it just seemed to become very boring and unidirectional

under my armpits instead of scented deodorant, I work at a highrise construction site so when I sweat bad (everyday) you smell the fragrance instead of B.O

>>17405963
You fucking retarded turbonigger, you're going to get another meme response here when I call you a faggot.

How the *fuck* can we tell if your dad will like the fragrance when we don't know what other fragrances he's worn and enjoyed. Like if he's worn Cool Water for 40 years no he's not going to fucking like it, and he's going to force himself not to kill you when you make a onions face at him in shock and nerdsplain why this is so much better than anything he's worn previously.
He's going to be disappointed but judging by the faggy attitude in your post he's probably been disappointed in you for years so at least you're being consistent.

>>17405223
I feel like I get the impression I get from Kouros is the opposite of lots of people. To me the opening smells like a beautiful blast of incense, powdery florals and spices (with lots of cinnamon). It does kind of resemble the smell of urinal cakes, but not actual urine. The drydown has a less pleasant bitter muskiness, but I still like it. A hot girl once told me I smelled like a "sexy grandma" when I was wearing it. I asked her if it smelled like piss at all and she said "WTF no!!" Basically if people aren't expecting to smell urine in Kouros, then they're not likely to pick it up

>>17406018
But is it good tho

>>17405223
my bro says the dry drown smells like an unwashed old man but idk what that smells like

>>17406022
did you smell it? preferences for smells are genetic. if you don't like it, he won't and visa versa

>>17406055
I liked it

>>17406055
That is a level of pseudo science bro shit that blow my mind.
Do not listen to man, "preferences" for smells are not genetic, if that was true we'd all still be wearing our fathers fragrances. My son's are getting into frags and they like stuff I don't and vice versa, our tastes don't overlap much.

My full bottle of Bois Imperial came in and I'm finally forced to accept certain people are noseblind to certain aromas.
Bois smells exactly like Ganymede minus the sweaty note and with some violet turned down. It isn't a clone of Grey Vetiver,it doesn't smell like grey Vetiver....unless your nose blind to something. If you take out the musky Akaigalawood you're left with a green Vetiver fragrance that probably smells close to Grey Vetiver.


Akaigalawood is powerful and has a very distinct smell and a strong influence on the character of a fragrance when it's used. That's why Bois Imperial and Ganymede smell so similar even though they only share one note, the Akaigalawood runs rampant over everything else and makes the two frags smell similar. But if you go blind to that smell Bois Imperial and Ganymede won't smell anything alike and you'll think people are crazy if they compare the two.

>>17406019
>beautiful blast of incense, powdery florals and spices

Genuine question: Are you stupid, autistic or both?
Fragrances aren't absolute, they aren't binary. A fragrance that's good to me can be bad to you, and we will both be "correct".

I'm going to be somewhat nicer than the other posters and tell you that I like it but it's incredibly over priced and generic, it also is a poor performer. There are dozens of better aquatics available, safer and cheaper too. I wouldn't buy Karst for my dad if I didn't know his exact tastes.

>>17406186
Because Cool Water used to be an amazing fragrance and used to smell somewhat similar to Green Irish Tweed. Now the people that were buying Cool Water didn't know it was a GIT rip off, they just knew it was unlike anything they smelled before. And it smelled that way until the late 90s.
So millions of men fell in love with a great frag and just kept buying it even when it got worse because it reminded them of better times.

>>17406217
Thanks, great answer.

Is Dior Sauvage EDP really not as well performing as Elixir? I can't find the latter without shelling out 45 AUD more for the 60 ml than I would 100 ml of the watered down EDP. But I can get the Elixir if it's really that much better.
Currently only have Burberry London EDT and Aramis 900 Aftershave, which both are cheap shit I got gifted.

What kind of question is that even? Are you blind buying? Stop blind buying. Go to a store and test those two frags. They don't smell the same. When it comes to performance, Elixir surely beats Sauvage EdP but that doesn't mean Sauvage EdP doesn't perform.

>oud wood
5min medicinal opening followed by damp earthy woodiness. blends with creamy sweet vanilla and tonka. its not strong or heavy, but i think thats a good thing here.
projects for a couple hrs, then stays close for the rest of the day.
sticks to clothes really well. if you wear it a few days in a row, and your clothes hamper will smell of it.
if youre a fan, check out the body spray. its on sale every few months. a can lasts a long time.
it skips the medicinal opening and some of the woodiness. goes straight to the creamy sweetness. some faint spice is also more present in the body spray.

is the note pyramid accurate? the metallic notes and gunpowder sound interesting, but i dont see them mentioned much in reviews

Rate my current loadout:

As far as absurd notes like “gunpowder” go, it’s quite close. It’s a very strong, almost irony start that somewhat reminds me of liquorice (the real stuff)/gunpowder mixed. If I think about stuff I have sampled in the last few years, Iron Duke is definitely in the top 5 of those fragrances that I kept going back to although the sample had sat in the drawer for a few good months.

i just got these, thoughts?

CDNIM Limited Edition or Pure Parfum?

>>17406750
I have both and they are essentially the same. Maybe the limited edition is a bit smoother but that's about it

>>17406731
100% based. If you're looking for recs I think Le 3e Homme de Caron and Chanel Antaeus would be nice additions to your lineup

>>17406754
Yeah Ive seen a few people say the same and then others saying the limited edition is way better. I cant find the LE in stock really so my hand may be forced anyway.

>>17406431
Comme des Garçons Wonderwood. Chanel Antaeus if you wanna go for a rich gothic dandy vibe

>>17406764
Go for the pure parfum without regrets. In fact I will spray now both on each hand for you and I will see if I can tell the difference in a few hours or if the performance is different

You didn't meet enough women if you think there are no autistic women, there's a shitload of autistic women in STEM degrees, they are full 12yo reddit boy cringelord mode

More organic opening on the limited edition , the fruitiness is more realistic. That's about it for now , rest are 97% similar

>>17406776
your incapability to differentiate between people that are kids mentally and real autism does not make your statement true. No female has autism. And quite obviously troons are not female.

>>17406802
are you gatekeeping autism? lmao

>he redefines a term with a strict and widely-accepted definition so he can win his 4chan argument

been a while since i have seen someone defending autism with such passion on /frag/, nice

atleast get a pass like your discord friends you retard, otherwise samefagging is too obvious

>>17406854
shit is genuinly infuriating, foids will do everything they can do gain attention, you need to point that shit out quickly and nip it at the bud. and it's not like they need an excuse another excuse for their behaviour, nobody expects a female to be an adult anyway.

>>17406733
sounds interesting, do i blind buy for 85€? i know the answer is no

also i'm open to suggestions for a kind of dark, masculine, animalistic scent. can be avant-garde or hard to wear idc. wouldnt mind oud either. price shouldnt be much more than 2€/ml.
to mind come iron duke and antaeus but i want a few more recs. encre noire isn't dirty enough.

Nah, I would still sample Iron Duke unless you are 100% sure that you are willing to go through the whole bottle. Bianchi is a fantastic choice here, her extraits are fantastic and extremely potent; Under My Skin is my favourite but it's more on the ambery/cinnamony side of things, try The Black Knight at least.

I can't find encre noire to smell it, can somebody define It?

>>17406686
don't

>>17406802
you just ripped a statement straight out of your ass and are now presenting it as fact, why the fuck would females be incapable of being autistic?
