>>17496544
wholesome post, please keep in mind that it's only downhill from here (it's either niche perfumes smelling like elephant anus/burning flowers/pizza or Kouros/Antaeus/DHO gayness waiting for you at the bottom)

Sorry for the double post but other thread died right after my post. here it goes again

What would be a good choice for wearing at a wedding? its on the beach in the middle of summer, i was thinkong Black Prchid but im not sure if thats appropiate for a hot summet afternoon.

Suggestions accpeted im a 30yo male btw.

Anon suggested something fresh, i have Versace Pour Home, Montblanc Starwalker... but i guess those are jsust too common? i want something special, what would be a nice eleagant summer freshy for a wedding?

>>17496632
my suggestion is pic related
classy as fuck, perfect for summer

>>17496632
dunhill for men
diptyque ilio

Is Montale Red Vetiver (pic rel) okay for everyday use? Like uni and work

what frag to wear for warm weather?

>>17496675
My fav is ferrari bright neroli

>>17496632

Im ordering some samples, im looking for the best white floral for this summer or just to try some interesting fragrances in general. Can anyone suggest me any niche personal favorites?

im ordering those 2ml samples and L'air du desert moroccain, what an amazing fragrance that one is.

>>17496674
Terre d Hermes smell a like shit

>>17496675
Dakar

>>17496699
I was gonna say Fathom, but you already now. Good choice. And not what you asked for, but I can't not suggest Terror and also a city on fire. Me I'm also looking for interesting frags. I bought Terror. I will be buying Fathom and fire. I think that will be enough to last me forever, but I'm open to meme fragrances. I was gonna get that Nasomatto with the plastic note, but they didn't sell samples only.

>>17496729
im open to anything not only white floral fragrances, just good stuff that could work for summery/spring weather. Or anything in general really. I'll consider terror and magnificence, i heard a lot of good stuff about that one, how would you describe it?

>Nasomatto with the plastic note

Which one is this?

>>17496729
>but I'm open to meme fragrances
by the way, when it comes to meme fragrances, definetely try Memagare. I have a box with around 15 2ml samples and every time i open it i get the scent from megamare from one meter away without spraying it. Its an interesting scent and also the craziest performing shit ive ever tried..

>>17496755
>how would you describe it?

Gothrock and sex. As for the Nasomatto it's Fantomas or some shit. Really curious what that's like. It has tires and plastic or something as notes.

>>17496765
Google is not giving me results.

>>17496632
Chypre Palatin. It's what I'll use, no matter what weather.

>>17496792
Megamare.

What does picrel smells like?

>>17496801

>>17496792
>Gothrock and sex. As for the Nasomatto it's Fantomas or some shit. Really curious what that's like. It has tires and plastic or something as notes.

its at the site to sample too, but for 9 euros, quite expensive for a meme, but i might pull the trigger.

Ill order terror and magnificence, wanted to try some stuff from that house also.

>>17496792

>i guess those are jsust too common? i want something special

Nah, stick with something as normie and inoffensive as possible. The last thing you want to do is draw attention to yourself at someone else’s wedding. Versace Pour Homme, Chanel Allure Homme, etc are all great suggestions.

I used to have "classic" expensive fragrance like Terre d'Hermès or YSL l'Homme, but I now wear l'aventurier by Fragonard. It might no be subtle or complex, but it smells good and is dirt cheap

What is a good night fragrance for spring and summer? All I see on fragrance.com is for winter and fall

Went to a trip to another department store and finally found some Tom Ford among other things, a highlight was testing the mythical Ombre Leather.
After so many positive reviews, favorable analogies and raving comments i have to say if you think this smells remotely like cowboy/southwest leather in boots and jackets or even fine italian leather works in clothing and accessories, you are a nigger, like immediately fucking kill yourself you disabled porch monkey.
This has nothing to do with said things and you have never in your pathetic little city slicking tax slave life have used a real leather item, this smells like the seats in an medium-range import car assembled by turks using poorly/overprocessed thin leather strips that were cleaned using shitty oil and left in front of the sun for a week. If you think that shit smells like an actual leather jacket made by rural workers or artisan boots that take weeks to do then i hope some odd looking fellow impales you for a while in purgatory after having killed yourself you piece of shit.

Now my arm has stank like the rubbery oily chimney feces whiff of a pretender brand new car's interior for 10 hours, i had experiences with overrated frags in the same trip but this takes the haitian mud cake for that. Just horrible as a leather frag for someone who knows real leather items, i do have to admit i admire that they went quite literal with the interpretation of cheap seats, perfectly portrayed and at least it's also not the smell of the softener stuff they put in skin when they are tanning it, which also smells like high hell.

>>17496801
Ideally Hypnotic Poison, in reality maybe a tame blue frag

>>17496846
Whatever you want, brother. Winter and fall fragrances are made up. You can wear whatever you want at any time.

>>17496868
>this nigger mad he can't afford an AMG

>>17496876
>You can wear whatever you want at any time.
This although "you can" doesn't mean "you should", some juices do suffocate your breath in high heat

>>17496812
>Ill order terror and magnificence, wanted to try some stuff from that house also.

Might wanna just get the full set + one Acrasia sample (not included) to try them all.

>>17496800
So what's Megamare like? I got a free Terroni sample and it was pretty good, despite a lot of you itt saying it's trash.

>>17496887
>AMG
I said "medium-range import car", like a Toyota Corolla with cheapo leather shits made by roaches, not a Lexus sedan or a CL65 AMG, those are other smells.
And if i could afford them i would certainly not buy Tom Ford, i would hire some dude to make decants from notes and references i like. Or just buy Fahrenheit to be honest, overly superior option.

>>17496801
Cigarettes and BO

>>17496893
I would get the full set but it's cheaper to buy the samples one by one in this site somehow. So I'll just try the ones that catched my atenttion

>Megamare

It's a weird scent, it's salty, metallic with seaweed and some slighty sweet notes. Like smelling the ocean laying on a rusty fisherman boat. Some people get visceral reactions to it because it's nuclear, but the scent itself is not that challenging.

>>17496891
So what "should" I?

>>17496920
You should use anything you want as long as you feel comfortable with it, aka do not use an overly sweet frag/ambroxan bomb above 35 degrees or above 30 if humidity is above 80%

>>17496868
Ombre leather smells like flowers after the opening, don't be a retard

>>17496941
roger that

day/night is a bigger meme than summer/winter

H24 EDT or EDP? and why?

>>17496951
Hey, before last month I never even bought a fragrance for myself

>>17496951
true. it's better to just use stuff whenever you want while keeping in mind that wearing 20 sprays of tobacco vanille in 45 degrees celsius may not be the best idea

>>17496915
So you're getting terror, noir, rake, and fathom then?

Anyone know anything about Di ser, I've been eyeing a sample of the Kyara or the Hana no Oto but I wanna know what I'm getting into before hand. Normally wear Fragonard Belle de nuit or Aqua de gio as a 20's male

Anyone tried noble wood?

>>17496896
nigger. Hope your mother is raped and gets cancer, you poorfag

is it actually good?

>>17497017
Yes

>>17497017
No idea about the old iris stuff, but the 2020 stuff is pretty good. It started off smelling generic but after a couple sprays it grew on me such that I ended up getting a full bottle of the 2021/2022 sport version.

Sort of sour musky citrus woods. Only drawback is like too many drags now, relies on the ISO E for the base.

>>17497017
yeah, it's nice. I like the Parfum more though, cause it's more complex, evolves more and trades some of the sweetness for more leather

>>17496993
i bhave no clue what you're talking about but japanese and fragrances don't go well together

>everyone raves about dhi
>I just want to test the parfum
why is it so rare
is it disco?

>>17497056
its not tho, find some euro cunt to proxy it for you ; they sell that at the duty free and sephoras there

>>17497056
>is it disco?
no, it just got hyped out of nowhere, limited production and distribution can't reach the demand and everything is a bit fucky. it's also unavailable in the US
I'm sure they won't discontinue it considering all the hype, will probably just have to wait for another batch

I'm really glad that I found a site selling samples for DHP, and then a store that sold it at non-ridiculous prices, it's my favorite cold weather / night out scent by far. strong, sophisticated, masculine thanks to the leather and evolves on skin a lot in a pleasant way, never gets boring

>>17497079
idk couldnt find it in germany for a normal price

>>17496968
nah, fathom and terror, the next will see, maybe on my next order. I will report back

Tdh eau givree or edition Blanche for hot weather

Or both

Best designer frag release of 2022

>>17497167
came out in 2021 dumb fuck

Which one?

>>17497239
OG. Luca Turin 5. More versatile. More uniquely encre noire

>>17497000
I haven't but I have royal amber from this collection and it's disappointing
it's wearable version of lattafa opulent our but nothing special, I wouldn't expect anything completely different from noble wood
>>17497017
in the beginning it's not bad, but closer to the drydown it's getting too feminine even for me (i have several womens frags)
when it comes to iris, I prefer pradas and Hermes hiris, the latter is actually more masculine than dhi, which is also very similar to zara 9.0 and Valentino uomo which is not good imo
>>17497239
OG, something is a bit off with extreme despite them being similar
>>17496675
leau d issey, Salvatore Ferragamo pour homme, eau de rochas both homme and femme

>>17497241

>>17497379
Ombre have a good amount of jasmine, most people don't mention or notice this for some reason.

Are there any online retailers that ship via air mail? Basically no one does in my experience.

>>17497374
nah

How Gourmandy does this smell?

>>17497530
Discontinued

>>17497568
it's lemon tart in a really sophisticated way - just the right amount of gourmand to still come off as classy

The whole "wearing a fragrance to impress people" thing never made sense to me. You're telling that people aren't instead trying to impress YOU? What's up with that.

Scent of the day: stetson, it's hilarious apparently tough cowboys smell like urinous honey and baby powder

>>17496993
Kyara is really expensive(1000 bucks) and rare to find. Hana no Oto is a budget Kyara. Di ser is a really good natural brand and their perfumes are the GOAT if you can find them.

>>17496950
By the way, you can use "ambroxan bombs" above 35 degrees. Few people here actually know what ambroxan smells like. As a hint, Molecule 02 is pure ambroxan in alcohol and that gets rated as a spring/summer daytime fragrance on fragrantica. Be mindful of that - many people here really have no fucking clue. Neither do most normal people, which leads me back around to the reason why I wear whatever I want in the summer. My friends did so during the hottest weeks last year. Each of them only owns a single bottle of whatever juice they've been using since highschool. Turns out some of their fragrances work really well in hot weather, especially the ones rated as "winter nighttime" fragrances. They don't care, because their brains don't know the marketing ploys made to extract more money from fragheads. They went into the store, sniffed some stuff and bought a single bottle at full retail price.

>>17497017
The highest rated designer fragrance on parfumo as well as the only winner of the yearly "Best Men's Fragrance of All Time" award on fragrantica since the inception of the award in 2017? You would think so.

>>17497031
The new stuff is disappointing and I will not shill the new Dior stuff, ever.

>>17497095
Dior website, but even there it is out of stock. The last batches did not hit any retailers and were only available straight through the Dior website (in Germany at least). Price has inflated a little since then, though. For just a sample, check the parfumo souk. For store testing...good luck. Not even the Dior store had it, and they had all the other fancy ones from Dior.

>>17497530
Based, but weak. Smells good for 2 hours, though. One of the frags my friends wear during summer.

>>17497569
Code Absolu and Code Profumo are discontinued. Code Black will only get a bottle update (same bottle as Code Parfum).

>>17497569
>>17497591
Nevermind, bottle update for the 75 mL has already hit the shelves. In any case, Code Parfum is a disgrace compared to Profumo/Absolu and not a good replacement.

>>17497239
I prefer Extreme

>>17497591
ambroxan is in everything, you dont have to know what it is to recognize it. Molecule 02 smells like every deodorant ever

>>17497460
After 16+ hours there's a faint smell in my arm, it does smell like jasmine/white floral so i take it back, it doesn't smell like cheap leather seats, it smells like cheap leather seats where a middle aged woman sat on.
Very womanly floral smell, in the same vein of fancy cosmetics. I took a bath and it's still there so it is an excellent performer, it just has a shitty misleading name.

>>17497591
Ambroxan often gives real headaches in high heat and that's a fact, so shut your slophole you cumguzzling freak, ask the most experienced juice seller at your store and they will even put a stop into their shilling to say not to wear ambroxan in the middle of summer.
You can talk to women, right? also same goes for ambergris or some calone admixtures but in terms of skin pH, some people turn it into a fishy smell, for example many can't wear Bvlgari Aqva because they don't want to throw up after getting a wee whiff out of nowhere.

>>17497610
Never heard such a load of bullshit before. Fragrance-induced headaches do not exist outside of people who get actual migraines. It's entirely autosuggestion. People with migraine can get headaches (migraine type) from fragrances, people prone to regular headaches do not. It has been tested many times. I don't care about your marketing talk, you fucking potion seller. And yes, I can talk to people of any gender, even in the summer, and my girlfriend has zero problems with me wearing whatever the fuck I want in the summer. Now spare me your skin pH bullshit and people throwing up from a Bulgari frag. You got the bullshit stacked skyhigh there, chief. It's time to fucking stop.

>>17497610
>After 16+ hours there's a faint smell in my arm, it does smell like jasmine/white floral so i take it back, it doesn't smell like cheap leather seats, it smells like cheap leather seats where a middle aged woman sat on.

It leans feminine after a few hours, the opening is rough and leathery but after that the jasmine takes control. It's a really popular fragrance among the masses for a reason , it has an edge but it's quite a safe scent for the most part.

>>17497617
Calm down bro, real rabid sounding there. If it works for you that's great, but what works for you might not work for others. My partner gets the sensation of a peppery scent whenever he gets a headache so pepper frags are out of question for me. And I doubt a sales rep would want to feel guilty for advocating for something that certain people would end up being sensitive to. It makes sense to lean towards a cautionary side. It's a consideration thing, not a fact type deal.

>>17497617
>Fragrance-induced headaches do not exist
Kidding aside for once: Unironically go outside and meet people, talk to your local perfume vendors, ask your friends, if you really believe that doesn't exist we all have news for you.
Or buy a really cheap clone, pajeet-tier stuff, and see what happens other than skin irritation.
>skin pH bullshit
Do you even know that's how skin reacts to ingredients? you don't seem new here as you've said interesting things so i am now puzzled you are spouting extremely ignorant shit here, if you wanted to bamboozle me you have won the game.

>>17497626
>safe scent for the most part.
Aside from that part where it smells like shit cheap car seats, Fahrenheit is much more friendly in my opinion but i am a man which is not that common nowadays. The floral hint is quite friendly to be true, don't mind smelling it but wouldn't use it.

>>17497628
I have considered (a lot). Due to my work in quality control and auditing I meet a lot of people in a variety of environments, in a rather conservative industry. Fragrances are a staple as accessorizing can be hard otherwise (when going into production, most stuff like rings/watches aren't allowed and clothes are safety boots/vest, helmet and gaudy ear protection). People want to leave an impression with a scent and as a result I get to smell all kinds of stuff. Some play it safe, some don't, but most people wear the same stuff all the time. Their single bottle of whatever, during summer, winter, in the climate controlled office and under protective clothing in a warm production environment. So do my friends. None of them knows what a "winter" fragrance is. To some of them, something like Stronger With You is a revelation and they will wear that to the beach on their holidays. It's the one thing which made me realize that in reality you can wear whatever whenever. Turns out "normal" people do not care, simple as.

>>17497628
I was with you until you said “my partner” you fag

>>17496589
>burning flowers
Sounds cool, any recs?

>>17497635
You ignored the part about autosuggestion. People associated a headache with a fragrance once and as a result they feel discomfort upon smelling it again. People read it on the fragrantica comments and then it happens to them. In a controlled environment, it doesn't happen. Plenty of studies out there testing migraine- and headache-prone people for their reaction to fragrances (both in terms of perfumes as well as smelly smells like trash and what not). I have no reason to believe fragrantica comments more than studies and I never have met anyone getting a headache from fragrances. I have met plenty of people and as I have said before, my friends care EVEN LESS. They'd wear Naxos to a pool party.
When it comes to skin pH, the more appropriate explanation is still nose difference. Fragrances do not smell the same to people. Some smell iso-e super as a nice woody scent, some get pencil shavings, some are anosmic to it. I get pencil shavings from iso-e, but I can't smell Molecule 01 (for example). There are many molecules like that out there. People want to associate to skin pH what is easily explained by not being able to perceive things in the same way as others. It's hard to test for that, though.

>>17497639
I'm female you absolute troglodyte.

>>17497639
In their defense, as a long time visitor of 4chan every mention of a specific gender tends to result in unpleasant reactions on most boards. If I mentioned any biological female from my life, I was often asked to provide pictures. No, I will not post people I know on 4chan.

Giving weak libtards headaches by wearing 25 sprays of Gucci rush is part of the appeal of being into perfume.

Perhaps people who are merely into fragrances (or god forbid "frags") should learn to run with the big dogs.

>>17497646
and? Also, troglodyte is a faggy insult. Plus, you suck cocks.

>>17497643
check Nudiflorum from Nasomatto, that's the closest i have to this smell

Seems like i need a very woody frag to complete my intended top 4/5 bottles for daily use, any recs?

Want something along the lines of strong cedar, pine and/or fir, maybe some earthy hints too, no sweet shit. Something aromatic and perhaps spicy, i like vetiver frags but they usually don't go along these lines as they intend for freshness rather than warmness. Also don't want noticeable incense, don't want it to be oriental although i do like stuff like Opium.

So far have found Givenchy Gentleman Boisee but seems most people hate the performance, Cartier Santos is excellent but a friend uses it so don't want to snatch it.
Fragrantica throws Encre Noire by Lalique and Wonderwood by Comme des Garcons, charts say Terre D' Hermes but many claim the orange/citrus is more notable than the earth or wood tones. Was heavily recommended Cartier Declaration along with appearing in the chart, i disliked it along with all its flankers.

Opinions on Vetiver from Guerlain?
https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Guerlain/Vetiver-69.html

Fell in love with fragrances after trying Dior Homme Intense at a store. Tried over 40+ niche fragrances and pretty much all designer shit you can find at a store since then.

Today I sprayed Dior Homme Intense again on my hand and I realized nothing comes fucking close to this one. I feel like I'm just wasting time trying to find something that I will love as much as this

>>17497680

>>17497709
> I feel like I'm just wasting time trying to find something that I will love as much as this
Yeah I know I already have several favorites but it's fun to keep trying new smells. It's not about finding something I'll want to keep using, more just about the process. Like listening to a variety of music and building your own playlist. Sometimes it's nice to just cycle through your favorites but usually I want to try new music. 95% of it I won't like and 5% I'll keep to come back to when I don't feel like exploring.
Except unlike music, fragrances do cost money and take up space. So that's a consideration.

>>17497723
Yeah of course , Its fun to try new stuff and the excitement is there and when you find something that smells great it's a nice rush of dopamine but damn. The closest thing to a perfect fragrance I've found is au Coeur du desert, and still, Dior Homme Intense is pure immediate pleasure , on a totally different league. It doesn't need any artifices or unique features , it just works so well. Simple yet perfect.

>>17497723
just get samples, i enjoy getting samples more than bottles

>>17497709
for me it was TDH, Bois D'Argent and Neroli Portofino. I dont even need anything else for regular use

>>17497705
Love it. Sophisticated and professional, really good office frag. A lot of people seem to think it smells like old people, but that’s not an impression I’ve ever got from it.

>>17497684
Possibly, but that seems to take a bit of a spicy detour, rather than a direct path to Encre Noir.

>>17497716
Yes, possibly. This is on my list to try.

Thanks both xxx

nothing even remotely close to dark (or green) in a citrusy vetiver frag

>>17497663
yeah, Encre Noire is the most obvious recommendation. it's woody and earthy with no sweetnes at all
you could also try some sandalwood frag if you want a more creamy and powdery, less earthy wood than vetiver

>>17497854
>nothing even remotely close to dark (or green) in a citrusy vetiver frag
and yet encre noire, another vetiver frag is at the very darkest edge according to the image

>>17497709
same for me but with Dior Homme Parfum. when I don't wear it I usually wear Encre Noire a l'Extreme, TdH or Cerruti 1881, but DHP is my favorite and the closest thing I have to a "signature" frag

any of you fags using barrister and mann stuff? is it actually worth buying the soaps or should i rather get the after shave and use a cheaper soap? i feel like the scent of the soap will be gone by the time i use an aftershave

>>17497909
Of course not. I use Arko shaving soap and one of their sticks with 6 soaps lasts basically for fucking ever. Smells weird, though, but that fades quickly. I don't use an aftershave balm, I use a daytime lotion with spf15.
Fancy shaving soaps and aftershave aren't worth it, the smell barely lasts. Most aftershaves are also lacking in moisturizing compounds (and sun protection).

>>17497916
based, I use Arko shaving soap too. foams up really nicely and it's dirt cheap

>>17497909
Its pricy but I get a really good lather out of BM Seville. Stirling is decent too if you want a cheaper artisan soap
>i feel like the scent of the soap will be gone by the time i use an aftershave
Try the aftershaves or colognes if you just want the scent, shaving soaps aren't meant to have a lot of staying power and projection

>>17497884
I don't know but I'd like to know.
>>17497891
What? Why?

>>17497916

yeah i think i'll stick to the AS because i mainly care about the scent. famine and war sound interesting but i'm leaning towards famine. if it wasn't so expensive to get this stuff to europe i'd get more

yes, but only Oud for Glory, bought it for fun

>>17498079
Only have cdnmi le , but because it's better than aventus

>>17498085
this thing is so good for 40 bucks it's kinda of crazy they replicated oud wood so well. I prefer it to my oud wood. Plus the longetivity is much more on woody oud. Great clone line. I have tabacco vanille and gifted my brother the clone from the same line and he says its really damn good.

just got Nishane's Hacivat. This thing reminds me so much of aventus, but this is beast mode. I imagine the older versions of aventus were as powerful as this because the newer bottle I have is quite lacking. I kind of prefer hacivat though.

Does anyone know what the most reliable way to sell slightly used frags is? I'm clearing out a lot of my collection but I'm not sure where the stuff will sell or if people would even be interested in buying it used. Is the best option eBay or are there better places online? The bottles I'm selling are all more than 95% full (slightly used to test) but nothing more than that.

>>17498188
I'm interested, where are you located

Do you use adult diapers?

>>17498188
I'd just go ebay, you'll reach the most potential buyers that way. Selling there comes with a risk of getting ripped off because they do side with buyers on complaints but I've done about a dozen sales and not had any problems, just post your own pics instead of generic pics and make the listing honest. If you used it once it's used, it's not new / open box.

only blind buy I made was JeP Neroli Intense lol

>>17496632
I bought versace dylan blue, very nice smelling perfume, very fresh, but kinda weak projection, when freshly applied can be felt arround 2m, but after a while it's barelly a 0.5m. Tho that 0.5m stays for the whole day.

Will perfume prevent me from smelling bad? I sweat a lot and I just want something to smell "fresh". My gf gave some kind of baby cologne that I use but I'm tired of the smell and its smell is irritating (I just spray it everywhere on me).
Excuse the newfaggery

>>17498914
>Will perfume prevent me from smelling bad?
not really. it can mask it a little bit, but what you really need is a good deodorant or maybe one of those "makes you sweat less" medications if you're really desperate

>>17498915
What are some nice deodorants? I know I sweat because I don't use them but roll-on ones feel uncomfortable to apply and the ones I buy at the supermarket all stink. I'm just looking for an earthy or natural smell.

>>17498917
just search for "unscented deodorant"

>>17498922
Thanks, I never knew those existed
Also I am kind of a retard so I would often not apply deodorant and then when I smelled bad I'd shower my clothes in a really strong deo.

>>17498626

"Good" is a stretch. For a Bogart, it is okay. Not having to dry-retch after spraying a Bogart is already a win for that house.

>>17498670
After my first blindbuy, I was basically cured from blindbuying. So the closest I've gotten was Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Signature. I tested the regular Uomo and I liked it, but it was a bit too sweet. I wanted the same in less sweet and found out that Uomo Signature exists. They had no bottles of that at the store. So I blindbought it and it was as good as expected.

Whats a good sweetish frag I can wear in spring/summer? Not Eros or SWY levels of cake sweet mind, just like a light dusting on top of a Victoria sponge, if that makes as much sense to you lot as it does in my mind. I've pulled an all nighter so yeah

>>17498670
Lalique pour Homme Equus, L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Sport, Hermes H24 EDP - all equally great blind buys for me

>>17498958
Chanel AHS Edition Blanche
Hermes Un Jardin En Mediterranee

>>17498695
>>17498807
probably yes if you're planning to use it as your main (or only) frag
probably not if you are planning to go down the frag rabbit hole
please check big retailers and stores in your area for discounts (as advised by >>17498812)

>>17498695
Sauvage has been successfully cloned to death.

If you have to ask if something is "worth the money", which means you care about 100-200-300 at ALL, then no it's not worth it and you should get a clone.

Personal recommendation, Verset Island if you're in Europe - performs amazingly and I'm hard pressed to tell the difference between the two. But also there's a ton of other clones or similar fragrances, just google around.

Nevermind, just realized I have an actual blindbuy that was good. Cuba Prestige. I ordered something and needed a few bucks extra for free shipping, so I basically paid the price for shipping to get an extra frag. I opted to get the 4.95€ Cuba Prestige to save 4.95€ on shipping. It's supposedly a clone of A*Men, but I have no clue what that smells like. Prestige is a very chocolat-y patchouli gourmand frag with a strong tobacco opening. Wish it would have stayed on that opening, but it got sweeter in the drydown and lost a lot of that tobacco. If you can ever get this stuff to save on shipping (or don't mind spending that fiver), toss it into your order.

Guys I have two big bottles and a bunch of samples. I barely go outside, yet I just realized I haven't been able to resist spraying myself every day, even though I'm just home all day. I just got reminded from feeling the Fathom V I sprayed last night. At this pace all my samples will be gone soon. I feel like I'm wasting my fragrances for nothing.

Cope. We’re a Christian white family with kids. We’re trying for more kids. Caron pour un homme helps set the mood at night. Sotd Guerlain heritage.

>>17498687
Depends on the formulation and all of them are good. But they all have similar components. I like Jicky and it’s surprisingly easy to wear. The civet might smell dated to you. This is coming from someone that thinks Guerlain vetiver doesn’t smell dated at all
>citrus

>>17499101
I wore it yesterday, why do you hate it? I like the orange, mint, sandalwood, cinnamon combo. Smells like a classic in an unconventional way

>>17499174
It's this little sample. I sprayed it again and yeah I hate it. I get mint and... something like tire rubber, but deeper and duller. Or maybe like an old house that hasn't been lived in for years, but someone just cleaned out all the dust and brushed their teeth with mint toothpaste.

>>17499190
> like an old house that hasn't been lived in for years, but someone just cleaned out all the dust and brushed their teeth with mint toothpaste.
Kek at least you tried it. It is very unconventional and when I want to wear something different it’s what I reach for. I get old house vibes too, but like a knights castle. I get metallic accord and not rubber. Mint, nice sandalwood, orange, and cinnamon.

>>17499163

>>17499131

>>17499131
I like Gucci Guilty EDP better for a spicy masculine rose

>>17499401
+1, nothing ground-breaking but it is actually a good frag

>>17499400
I think it's different enough with the citrus and aquatic notes, much more fresh
makes a great hot weather fragrance and might even be somewhat mass-pleasing. I bought a bottle for my dad who's not really into frags and he likes it so much he's used up a whole bottle in months
performance sucks though, but I guess that's not too different from most freshies at this price

>>17499306

Quite happy with my current rotation. Any thoughts, reccs for future frags or something I'm missing?

Nice, how are the polish frags? Blind buy worthy?

I sent my brother sport or extreme for his birthday last week, I forgot which one, but he hasn't replied since. He probably didn't like it. :(

>>17499494
Of course he didn’t like your smelly water gift. Next time try something mass appealing like Bois imperial

>>17499498
I went to get that one initially but they didn't have it in the sto'.

>>17499492
"kaszebsczi mech" is great if you like classic chypres. has a great, very natural smelling fresh "forest floor" opening, then some dry tobbaco and oakmoss notes peek through that and the drydown has a surprising amount of musk to it. performance is very good.
some review said it was similar to Eau Sauvage, but I didn't get that. it reminded me more of Pour Monsieur maybe, but a bit heavier, much better peformance and with that slightly animalic musk.
if that sounds like something you'd definitely like then I think it's worth a blind buy, at least if he makes another batch since it's sold out right now

the vetiver one was much less impressive to me, especially considering it's almost twice the price. basically just a simple vetiver, of the smoky earthy and nutty category, not green or soapy. it's fine, smells good but not that special

Newfag here on this board, is there a combo that works well with a amber/woody smell of cologne that also complements body wash?

>>17496556
Spray once, thought it was amazing
Spray again months later and it’s nauseating. Why?

>>17499488
Old spice

>>17499517
the smell of your body wash is gone by the time you dry off

Ay, am gigapoor but I like the smell of Terrae Essence EDP by Bvlgari
is there a cheaper thing that hits similar vibes.
or a place where I could look for cheap fragrences myself (super noob at this so any help would be nice)

>>17499529
Fragrances are very subjective and change by temperature and skin chemistry... some note can flip from pleasing to disgusting if you just perceive it differently or wear in different weather.

>>17499423
>no beaufort london or imaginary authors

>>17499536
wtf so what's the point of it having a smell

>>17499401

are oils worth it?

>>17499559
I like my sandalwood, lavender, vetiver, and oakmoss essential oils. Just get quality stuff or things you like. There’s no better quality/price ratio out there than oils

>>17499570
where do you get them from and how much do you pay per?

>>17499559
There are so many good cheap attars I wouldn't pay much for an oil roll-on. But yes they're worth the $5-10 they cost.

>>17499576
Buy this sandalwood. Sandalwood is the best oil you can find. Modern perfumes stopped using it because it’s too good for goyim and cut into their profits.
https://www.edenbotanicals.com/sandalwood-australian-premium.html
A little goes a long way.

>>17499576
>>17499579
If you want attars or mixed oils I find ScentsbySkanda on etsy does a good job.

>>17499529
Guess I gotta whip out my sample again. Only sprayed it once and it was horrible.

I'm new to fragrances so I haven't used the sites in the OP yet. How do coupons work for fragrancenet? Like the ever so popular sauvage edt is a ridiculous $209.99 and comes down close to the standard department store price of $146.99 with their "activate coupon" button. OP says grab a 35% off code somewhere, does that stack with their supposedly always available coupon?

>>17499579
Stirling Soap uses real Hawaiian sandalwood oil :)
They have the best sandalwood, and use it as a note in several fragrances. It's really good I got the EDT and the aftershave.

>>17499579
Is this website legit? Looks like it is stuck in the 2000s. I am looking for some sandalwood, which I see you recommended.

>>17499592
Based can you recommend any? My favorite sandalwood frag is Guerlain heritage. It uses Mysore sandalwood in the vintage formulations.

>>17499596
I got referred to it on basenotes. It’s legit. Check out the reviews there from well known members.

>>17499603
Thank you anon

I wanna buy naxos xerjoff(Like it a lot) and make it my signature but Im afraid its gonna be too popular which will ruin it for me. Is it really populat? Should I go for it or try another Xerjoff?

>>17499601
Hawaiian smells quite different from mysore, same general idea but it is sweeter I guess. Anyway they have a pure sandalwood scent and the barbershop one that is very popular, despite its name it's not exactly a traditional barbershop scent but it's really good like fresh but creamy. I know they use it in some other stuff, I want to say ramblin man.

>>17499632
>Is it really popular
you're pretty unlikely to smell it at any point in your life desu, compared to something like Sauvage or even Santal 33

>>17499637
Are you sure cuz everyone knows naxos is a pretty popular,well liked fragrance even the retailer told me its one of their best sellers

>>17499650
consider that most guys don't use fragrances, or only use them on dates. and the ones who do use them mostly use designer frags or cheaper stuff. it's seriously not something I'd worry about

>>17499650
please don't be stupid, a bottle costs like $250 on a good day - you will smell it on people if you move a lot around millionaires, but if not then it is sauvage all day every day

>>17499632
plenty of good clones of it out there as well as two other frags which probably smell the same in the sillage. it's that one overly sweet one you can always smell in the air (besides br540 + clones). if i wanted to be unique i wouldn't risk it.

I’ve been told I always look extremely angry. Almost terrifying.

Any frags to complement this?

>>17499656
this anon is probably right, please use something like dior homme original or kouros if you want a unique frag

>>17499660
secretions magnifique

>>17499660
Use Ultra Male or something similar to smooth out all those edges.

>>17499677
no, only in stores but i never smell frags before (or after) buying them, i only get them for their cute bottles
