Was Bleu Electrique brought back? I thought it got discontinued or was a really short run or something. I never got to try it.

>>17526723
I believe it's still discontinued.

is this too classy for daily wear?

>>17526626
I went in to my local macys and there was a full bottle of sauvage elixir just sitting out for people to test


what stopping me from just putting it in my pocket and walking out of the store?

Oud is fucking disgusting

Provide your age range.
>24-30

>Provide the season or climate you intend to wear the fragrance in.
No seasons where I live. It is just hot the entire year. Think about South-east Asia. Hot and high humidity.

>Provide your ideal price range for buying a recommended frag.
Honestly, the extremely devaluated local currency makes even "cheapies" to be overpriced so just don´t recommend anything too exclusive/super niche


>Provide some details on what type of scent you are looking for (favorite notes and accords, hated notes and accords, etc.)
Everyone is bored of fresh fragrances but it is truly the best option for this weather, I just want something fresh but unique and versatile at the same time. I like woods and rose. I don´t want anything citrusy.

>Provide some details on your intended aesthetic and setting for wearing a scent (frag for school, the office, dates, casual daily wear, etc.)
>Sorry to keep bringing the topic, but hot weather is the fucking worse to be /fa/. Most outfits are just basic shirts, polos and t´s with jeans and chinos. I´ve seen people wearing wool if they are feeling bold. Setting can be anything from walking the dog until going to a doctor´s appointment.

>Generally ignore any posts about fragrances that seem to intentionally evade your provided criteria, they are likely made by trolls and/or shills.
k

Of my small batch of Beaufort London testers, I find I'm really fond of Terror and Magnificence. Convince me not to drop $140 on a bottle of it.

Lmao at Germany. Almost 10-5 years ago you will smell Dior Homme almost everywhere in the cities. Now i fucking smell Aventus everywhere, i literally need a new fresh, musky, chypre fragrance.

>>17527054
What is the appeal of aventus? Fruity is the last scent profile I want to smell like. Had a sample of YSL Y EDP for example and that strong fruity apple made me gag

>>17526837
Incredibly low reward considering sauvage and it's flankers are goyslop

>>17527062
IMO it's Drakkar Noir but modernized with musk and pineapple. But there's still the mossy, chypre/fougere backbone similar to Drakkar Noir.
A well rounded fresh-fruity fragrance. It's not too sweet, not too fruity or too daring due to the moss. I absolutely understand the hype, but normies ruined it.

>>17527069
>le heckin based meme buzzword
elixir might as well not be associated with sauvage line at all, it mogs them into infinity

>>17527070
Between the normies, the batchfags/reformulation autists and the apparent army of clones, it just seems like something I’d rather steer clear of entirely

>>17526626

>>17526890
Declaration D'un Soir is a fresh, woody rose scent with some fresh spices. sounds like something you'd enjoy and it fits hot weather well enough while smelling nothing like your typical aquatic citrus freshie. not sure how the price is where you're at, but probably shouldn't be outragously expensive

>>17527071
Yeah maybe if all you've smelled your entire life was rubbing alcohol.

It's trash and your taste is trash.

>>17527070
The more I wear Aventus the more it resembles eau sauvage to my nose. God I love musky chypres...

This finally dropped low enough to blind buy, wonderful pink pepper scent, my other bahama is saint barts. I've tried them all, for him is pretty decent also but not bottle worthy for me

Sporty fragrances?

Thinking sporty/acqua but don't hesitate to recommend anything you might call "sporty"

When did retards start calling fragrances beast or monster? Is it a Jersey or Miami thing?

>>17526723
>>17526796
It's not discontinued, just unavailable in the US from what I've seen. Easily available in Europe.

>>17526834
It's good for daily wear, although you should wait for it to dry down a little. The opening might be too brutal for the office.

>>17526837
What's stopping you from stealing anything all the time? >>17526893 is right, it's the possibility of consequences.

>>17526867
Agreed. Both the real deal and the fake synthetic oud replacement that's being used.

>>17526890
Find something locally produced or straight up cloned, maybe? Any local social media groups you could check out or websites with local offerings in that regard? Think etsy but for your country.

new pino just dropped

>>17527118
>God I love musky chypres
Yeah, chypre are based, the musk gives it a sexy twist. Does Eau Sauvage resemble Aventus? Need new ideas for Aventus alternatives, because it's now popular where i live.

>>17527160
>fresh, musky, chypre fragrance
email PerfumeCraft and ask him when he will make another batch of Kaszebsczi Mech
that sounds like exactly what you're looking for (Pour Monsieur type fresh foresty chypre but on steroids, with much better performance, more oakmoss and a backbone of musk) and you will almost definitely not smell anyone else wearing it in your life

>>17527133
Allure Homme Sport, fantastic fragrance, fresh and sweet(fresh vetiver but not in a overpowering way, its light and airy), has that warm steamy room fresh out of the shower feel to it when first applied.
Very easy to like.

>>17527160
I always thought Terre d'Hermes had a similar appeal, since it's also a modernized, fruitier take on a classic masculine genre, with a smoky side to it
but not sure how popular it is where you live

>>17526934
Mont Blanc Presence, explorer
Le Male
CK be, one
Zara vibrant leather
Azzaro
Dylan blue
Declaration EDP

Probably Declaration was my favorite but the black pepper is way too strong for everyday use. Vibrant leather is good but only last a couple hours. Presence is also nice but I think it was discontinued.

>>17527127
The one they discontinued was really good. Now it’s too expensive. It’s in a clear brown bottle. Wood top

>>17527106
Your ass is dated trash, lmao
dumb fagget

>>17527231
yeah you should definitely try Declaration D'un Soir. and maybe Terre d'Hermes, though the pepper might also be too much for you in that one, in which case Dior Homme or Dior Homme Sport is also worth a try

Why is this formula so good?

>>17527244
real lavenders
I decided to grow some this year

>>17527192
Sounds nice, thanks. Think I might cop a bottle.

Best urine smelling fragrance for a zoomer? Kouros smells old

>>17527262
maybe Kielh's Original Musk?

>>17527133
Caron pour un homme sport or leau

>>17527248
I’m growing some lavender bushes too. It grows nice where I live. But the modern version has a nice lavender too. I think the vanilla and musk saw the biggest difference in reformulation. I also have pic related and it wears like a edp compared to the other two versions. Unfortunately my current bottle is missing some of the lavender top notes after close to probably 100 years. But I got the bottle for $10 so I can’t complain. The vanilla in it is very powerful and long lasting.

Dior Homme Intense lasts 10 minutes. For 10 minutes, I can feel like a sexy New York, New York man. Thank you, Dior.

Honest thoughts on Eros?

>>17527352
funny, the Parfum lasts for more than a day on my skin. hilarious longevity, though projection doesn't stink up the whole room

>>17527362
Some reviewers said the same about Intense. Sadly, Dior doesn't sell Parfum in my country.

>>17527081
It's bizarre that he'd think this would get views. Jeremy puts so much effort into making low effort videos

is encre noire sport worth buying if i already have the original?

>>17527394
depends. do you want a more hot weather appropriate, more accessible flanker with some citrus and a touch of aquatics?
I like it a lot personally even though I usually dislike freshies. the performance sucks though

I got blucheron

Pissed some curiosity money on OilPerfumery as I've heard mixed reviews. I'll compare with the originals when they get here. Anyone have good luck with them?

>>17527394
u fucked up, only the sport and the extreme are worth it

Anyone knows if portrait of a lady got reformulated the the point the performance went to trash? I'm trying a sample and the performance is not as good as I expected at all

>>17527352
I have a bottle from last year and that's false, probably you are noseblind to it

>>17527420
wait, they made an aquatic flanker for Jaipur? why have I never heard of this before? I love Jaipur and always struggle with warm weather scents. maybe this would be the one for me...
what does the Blucheron smell like?

>>17527431
idk, but it's a little weird to get a clone of Neroli Portofino when Neroli Portofino itself is a clone of a 10$ fragrance

>>17527469
it says limited edition on the box

>>17527355
I sort of like it but at the same time can't find any occasion that I would ever wear it. It's too loud and sweet.
I guess if you're under 25 then it would be okay for dates or nights out

>>17527497
yeah I can see that. it is an actual flanker though despite the weird name

>>17527355
I smelled Eros and flame on strips at Sephora a while back and both smelled like a Jolly Rancher, like nuclear candy sweetness

>>17527355
I don't like it, it's too sweet and candy-like. maybe fine if you're 18 and really into clubbing, but I think it's just obnoxious

>>17527189
Very nice recommendation, will check it out, nice.

HOLY FUCK

>>17527499
>>17527550
>>17527557
I don't really get why people say it's very juvenile or inappropriate for most occasions
To me it's just a playful masculine frag. And everyone (who isn't into frags) seems to love it.

>>17527472
What fragrance?

>>17527663
The opinions of people who couldn't pick mitsuoko out of a line up shouldn't concern you. It's goyslop.

>>17527730
Shut the fuck up nerd

>>17527663
I never said it was inappropriate or juvenile, I said that I personally can't find occasions that it would be appropriate for me, and at my age that's understandable.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't like it or use it. But at a certain age wearing a bright sweet frag gives off a weird vibe and it isn't going to suit everyone. Just like a younger guy wearing a Vetiver frag feels off.
But so what, that's just my opinion. Wear whatever you want.

>>17527716

another much-shilled clone of that ITT is JeP Neroli Intense. people clone it because the original is an eau de cologne and as such has very weak performance

Fragrances in 2023 that perform like Kouros? Non-ironically it's the one I got most attention from.

>>17527736
What are you even doing in a thread for fragrance enjoyers? You clearly don't have any clue what you are talking about.

Hey fellow Anons, I would very much like to ask you for a recommendation. Last time I wanted some citrus - woody scent you recommended me Drakkar Noir and Im very satisfied with it, but I want something stronger it feels like after hour or so its gone. I don't mind paying a little more. Thanks for help

>Male 20s
>Citrus - woody
>Spring - summer
>To uni, daily use

>>17527901
terre d'hermes or grey vetiver
or that dakar thing people have been shilling, which is supposedly just a clone of drakkar noir that lasts for longer

>>17527780
Most of the clones have shit performance too, though. Tom Ford should be ashamed that their clone hardly outperforms such an old cheapie.

>>17527127
the worst is maritime journey, it makes me gag

anyone read any fragrance books

>>17527931
like?

>>17527921
that's just the nature of floral-citrus freshies with no real base to speak of
that's why Neroli Intense is the best one, cause it's cheap enough you can apply it however much and however often you want

>>17527901

Is modern Kouros still beast mode?

>>17527469
Ok I'm wearing it now. It smells very much like Jaipur, same DNA, but with aquatic notes in place of most of the spices. Vanilla is still there right from the start. It doesn't really smell fresh to me, I'll have to wait for warmer weather to see how it does. I think the goal with this one was to create a summer version of the OG Jaipur so it's toned down and lightened but still has the same profile.
It is not as good as the OG but I think for warm weather this will do well. It's discontinued but still on ebay for like $48/100ml, mine came brand new and sealed. Checkfresh says it's from 2013 which is probably the only year it was produced. For that price, I'd recommend it.

>>17527730

>>17528098
What have you learned so far? Does it reference perfumes?

>>17527901
If you don’t mind old school and want fresh woody I would try Guerlain vetiver, Caron yatagan, and Davidoff zino. More fresh would be Guerlain eau de Guerlain, guerlain imperial, or Caron pour un homme leau.

>>17528274
a lot of insight into the industry and the process of making perfumes. obviously im not an idiot and i dont think christian dior is in his basement mixing essential oils in beakera, clearly these fashion houses hire perfumers to make the products we all know that, but i was not really aware that these people are simply employees of bigger companies like Symrise, IFF, firmenich and others, and these big companies submit scents in order to bid on new frags the houses want to release. these companies hold the formulas, not the houses.

he does talk about molecules a good bit as well. we are all aware i think, of molecules giving impressions of notes. you cannot distill caramel and bottle it, that is impossiboe, but a molecule can give you the sweet impression of caramel for example. fair enough. but some notes are only achieved by mixing different molecules. maybe it goes without saying, but i am not talking about mixing a sweet creamy molecule with icy citrus to give a contrasting balanced lemon custard feel, i mean that synthetic vanilin mixed with a different molecule can make you smell chocolate. neither smells like chocolate on its own, at all, but when they are mixed you get some qualitative property greater than sum of its parts. not, this is a floral scent from a flower that doesnt exist - we can all accept that easily. but obtaining a note from mixing two completely unrelated chemicals is truly an olfactory illusion.

it is poorly writtwn from a style standpoint in my opinion, the author uses way too many parentheses and commas in order to write in some conversarional way which wnds up being clunky to read. the guy is a journalist though so i am not surprised he is shit at writing. however, the pacing and story itself is done really well. he follows 2 fragrances through the creative process, one at Hermes, and another at COTY and each chapter alternates back and forth. i am really enjoying it.

>>17526890
Seconding Declaration D'un Soir by Cartier, i hate it but smells like something you would like as it is a poster boy for rose and soft woods without any citrus

>>17527901

>>17528676
I’m not sure how big of a bottle you want for that price but Versace Pour Homme is a very cheap designer freshie that smells very good

You guys got a fragrance you like but have to be in a specific kind of mood to wear?

>>17528197
an aquatic flanker of a rich vanilla oriental like Jaipur is such a weird idea. too bad discontinued probably means no decants, I don't really want to blind buy this

>>17528696
When I feel more confident I reach for Dior Homme. Btw I hope you guys know that this Dior Homo propaganda is just meant to keep this amazing fragrance from becoming too popular because everybody knows that this is the the sexiest man's fragrance according to all chicks? Anyway, sotd - Caron pour un Homo

>have been wanting Bleu De Chanel Parfum for awhile
>have edt already, I really like everything about it except for the insence note
Is it worth blinding this 150$ fragrance or should I just get two other bottles of something cheaper?
How good is the Parfum relative to the edt? The edt smells really good

>>17528710
It doesn't smell good. Buy something with character like bijan for men or Jovan sex appeal.

(hoo iz dat?)

received my bottle of Le Cri, it's so good - will be blasting it throughout the spring and summer. they added a sample of vetiver bourbon with it; since ambre russe was so good I was expecting something equally good but this is just way too earthy and dense for my taste

Should we add My Fragrance Samples to the OP? That's my favorite place for decants. The owner is always really nice in his e-mails, and they always give some free samples (usually stuff with similar notes or stuff from the same brand, which is really cool).

Anyone tried Every Storm A Serenade? I adore the chloride, glue, calone opening, it settles down to a salty, woody fragrance later. But the glue-like, aquatic note in the beginning is the best. Any other frags out there with that glue, chloride vibe?

Definitely not just for the younger crowd...
You always hear that Versace Eros is the teen party scent of a bad idea... Maybe others think so, but I don't. For me, Eros is a very useful scent for everyday use that works for me in the same way as JPG Le Male. This one has just like Eros a fresh mint top note, a sweet heart note and a sweet spicy base note that is vanilla heavy. This fragrance is worn by men of all ages, although it is sweet and playful... So why is Eros labeled a teen scent? I can't understand it and I'm not going to be influenced by it! I am 35 years old and I think Eros suits me very well. About the scent itself I can say... It opens with lots of mint and lemon and a crisp green apple. In this phase the fragrance has a very good sillage and you are definitely noticed. After 30 minutes the mint and the apple say goodbye and lemon, tonka bean and geranium mix. Here it becomes a little sweeter and more playful. Also in this phase it is still well perceptible from the environment. In the base it stays sweet and you definitely notice the vanilla but it mixes with a little bit of spice (I think it could be the moss?). The shelf life is very good and with four sprays I can easily last 10h+ all day long! In summer I wouldn't necessarily wear it except maybe in the evening, but in winter, spring and autumn it works just perfectly. So far I have only received positive comments about this fragrance and nobody has ever said I smell like a party-happy teenager... So it's all a matter of opinion! I see JPG Ultra Male ehr as a teenager fragrance, because it is just overly sweet and almost feminine from top to bottom "Grin"... But fun aside! I can really recommend Eros to every man! I will definitely keep wearing it.
Even though I got 40+ because age is just a number. ;)

>>17528677
Highly interesting, shame i don't know my immunotype

Or exactly like the anon under you said.

>>17529002
Supposedly the roll overs are better than the sprays because that's the intended form the arabs made them for (no alcohol), or so the reviewers say.
A spaniard reviewer said it's good to buy both in a bundle so you can decant the oil and the EDP together to have a bomb of a bottle. Plan to do that when i get paid.

Basically, youth is blue sweetness, ultra-power, and maybe an oddball gourmandy spicy frag for the winter.

Anything vaguely strange, 'dirty', aquatic or oriental, fougaures etc, just get labeled 'Old Man frags' and rejected for not conforming to the hoard. I've seen people shit on freaking Cool Water for such a reason.

Can somone recommend me something similar to jovoy incident diplomatique but that would last longer?

kouros, 40 sprays

Got a bunch of perfumes for free from my father, who likes perfume but who barely ever wears it because it gives my mom headaches. I can try them all and keep whatever I like.

Included:
>Creed Silver Mountain Water and Green Irish Tweed.
> Lorenzo Villoresi Piper Nigrum and Yerbamate
> Fragonard Siecle
>Truefitt & Hill West Indian Limes
>Geo. F. Trump West Indian Extract of Limes
>Saint Germaine Diptyque Philosykos and Eau Duelle

I'm 29, haven't thought about scents at all really in the past. I'd wear it to the office and on dates theoretically, when I go out it's mostly to the gym. Tried the Silver Mountain Water today first working from home, it smells nice but I don't really have any frame of reference. Going to try them all obviously (one per day to get idea of scent over time), any thoughts on these scents? I'm going on a trip to Mexico in April and it'd b nice to have one for that.

Just bench pressed 3pl8s for the first time. From now on going for reps. SOTD: BI. What are you wearing lads?

I like both Dior Homme (the old one) and many old school frags. don't know why you guys decided to make it the posterboy for sweet zoomer frags, it's more like L'Instant de Guerlain but with iris. and about as floral and powdery as Habit Rouge
a real sweet feminine zoomer frag would be something like Stronger With You or Invictus

>>17529536
Very nice collection anon, cherish it. Try every fragrance, wear whatever you like - the Lorenzo Villoresi's in particular are great.

I love Idole EDP Lubin in the lukewarm months, but when it gets warm it actually feels like I've been sealed in to a rum barrel.

Any recs on a spicey summer fragrance that isn't extremely overpowering but smells like a spice caravan moving accross the sahara desert?

>>17529644
>>17529644
idoly is great. spicey and summer don't really mix but take a look at the following:
nicolai parfumeur caravanserail intense
single man moth and rabbit
jorum studio pony boy/spiritcask/gorseland/healing berry
naomi goodsir or du serail
phi une rose by tauer

>>17529662
I will thanks for the rec! I would be willing to try something different for summer, but fruity frags always smell cheap and cloying to me. My favorite scent I've tried for summer is bay rhum but I lost the tag, and all I find online is aftershave when I search 'bay rhum fragrance'

>>17529667
there are a shitton of bay rum style frags mate. its like searching for fougere

>I'm going on a trip to Mexico in April and it'd b nice to have one for that.
Don't, mexican customs are infamous in the world for being massive jews. For example you have flat top Creed bottles, those are 200+ dollars, they will fuck you up.
Buy a small bottle (5 to 10ml) to decant whatever you like the most. Also your pop had refined tastes, i would use those bottles just once in a while and not daily unless you want to smoke them out.
>any thoughts on these scents?
Your mom must be something for your dad to give them away.

>Stronger With You or Invictus

>>17529470
>I've seen people shit on freaking Cool Water for such a reason.
I can't see Cool Water lasting more than a few years, the constant reformulations have vexxed the majority of its long time users and the youths dislike anything that isn't sweet, the flankers don't sell that much until Intense and Parfum came out as emergency measures, one might produce some coins as it is a Sauvage clone for quite cheap. Influencers shill it all the way hence my double suspicion, some years ago nobody batted an eye on old Cool Water when talking about aquatics despite being the pioneer.
Such a fall from a decent house that was Davidoff in the 90's, going the way of Cacharel.

>stronger with you
this clone is better

Let’s talk summer frags, fellas
Light Blue: Eau Intense vs Forever vs Italian Love. Which one?
Versace PH or Eau Fraiche?
Missoni Wave? Cool Water? Nautica Voyage? Tommy motherfuckin Bahama?
Any niche or indie citruses that mog all of the above?

>>17529840
wearing fragrances according to the season is gay and retarded

>>17529876
this baggot wearing snicebomb in 100 degree weather

is this the best deal in the fragrance world?

also is versace pour homme the perfect gym scent?

from what ive noticed it smells amazing but performance dies after a few hours, so I dont mind that ill just wash it off immediately after during my gym shower

also considering getting Nautica Voyage for the gym, or maybe Acqua Di Gio Profundo if I want to impress my gym crush...

>>17529888
sneedbomb

>>17527650
Yea its good; i was wondering if i can still wear it in summer?

>>17529888
what if it rarely goes above 80 and I have air conditioning

I just spent $1000 on a bottle of fragrance

I'm planning on wearing Montale Aoud Leather and Memo African Leather all summer. What am I in for (aside from drowning in pussy juice)?

>>17529891
Chanel Allure Homme Sport (non-EE) is this but classed up a little. I'd honestly say the Chanel or maybe the Alexandria clone of Edition Blanche would be the move

>>17529891
my ross has versace pour homme but its hardly a deal, price is high and only for an ounce. for the good stuff they "discount" like 6 dollars, it is hardly worth it to me

>>17529840
>Let’s talk summer frags, fellas
It's still spring
>Light Blue, which one?
Forever but can't say for sure
>PH or Eau Fraiche?
Fraiche starts with pencils, PH goes directly into the good stuff so that one, both perform the same: Bad
>Missoni Wave? Cool Water? Nautica Voyage? Tommy motherfuckin Bahama?
Missoni Wave but early Voyage bottles perform admirably so if you have that one, that. Freshies should be picked by their performance, i hate saying that but i rather smell fresh for 6 to 8 hours than pretty fresh for 2 hours
>Any niche or indie citruses that mog all of the above?
The one you have with you

>>17529876
This too

>>17530035
Could've bought a leather jacket, save 600 bucks and it smells better for one to three months if you clean it with leather soap.

Be honest you guys. Do you guys feel old when you wear this?

>>17529891
I got a 1.7oz of this since I didnt' know if I would like it. should i stock up in case they change the formula?

>>17530112
I feel nothing at all, its performance is abysmal

>>17530112
I feel like I spilled some Sprite on myself

I need fragrance that smell like dried mushroom

>people comparing Versace pour home to allure homme sport when they are the same “sort” of fragrance but smell nothing alike, even the sweetness from the musk isn’t the same

I cant believe I fell for the Dakar meme

> its a beast mode drakkar noir clone bro

this literally smells like musty old locker rooms and urinal cakes

but what else should I expect from a $8 middle eastern fragrance, thank science I didnt waste any more money on it, im returning it for some nautica voyage

>>17530126
what do you think about it now?

I thought it had poor performance but I put 2 sprays on my wrist one night right before bed and could still smell it strongly when I woke up

>>17529536
>trip
Buy some decant bottles for that.

I read that statement and I somewhat agree with it that calling certain frags "mens frag" and "womens frag" is just marketing and basically you should wear what you like. So do you have anything which was supposed to be for the other sex?

cuba gold worth it? i read its just a waste of 10 bucks

>>17530249
black orchid

>>17529470
so basically just the top10 of every fragrance influencer? that's the same stuff the average fragrance user will blow hundreds on as well.

>>17529888
Yeah...and?

>>17529891
Stop wearing shit to the gym or I will reapply Spicebomb in 100 degree weather before hitting the gym. Or something actually vile. But yeah, Versace Pour Homme is the perfect gym frag. My gym smells like it mixed with sweat. Whenever I smell that stuff now, I only think about how much it reminds me of sweaty gym smell. The new locker room cologne - Versace Pour Homme.

>>17530175
Tauer L'Oudh. Massive mushroom note in there. Not sure if it's dried mushrooms (haven't smelled those), but I hate mushrooms and L'Oudh smelled way too much like mushrooms to me to like it.

>>17530225
Must be regional. I'm not the Dakar shill, but I get no urinal cake from it (unlike Kouros or Ted Lapidus Pour Homme, which are pure urinal cake). Smells like Drakkar Noir to me.

>>17530251
Get Cuba Prestige. Still some simple and synthetic smell, but at least it has good performance. Also 10 bucks is a lot. The small bottle is like 3.70 here.

Another day, another massive discount on Notino for another Roger Bird hack frag. Imagine thinking you're buying something exclusive based entirely on price, which regularly gets discounted by up to 50% and sells through the largest frag discounter.

>>17530112
acqua di gio just smells like "default cologne" now. the whole DNA has gotten dated because of how overused it was and how many clones and flankers there were
I wonder if Armani will ever make a new fragrance instead of releasing the same shit

>>17530251
it's a pretty good clone of Le Male from what I remember. if you like Le Male, go for it

>>17530249
not yet, but I've considered buying Shalimar, Chanel No 19 and Pamplelune. gotta try some of the other classic women's Guerlains at some point too, just haven't had the chance yet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFhcMnl9AmQ
>Sauvage smells generic, feminine or like a dad
>Bleu de Chanel smells cheap, like pipe cleaner or lysterine
it's pretty funny to see actual people react to supposed "mass-pleasers" like this. I guess that's what you get for trying to "fragrancemaxx" instead of just wearing what you like

>>17527118
Isn't eau sauvage citrusy and aventus has no citrus?

SOTD dali pour homme

>>17530334
Don't watch the other videos from that channel or they might just say something entirely different about the same fragrances.

>>17530334
the baldassare noselet squad is hilarious. it's all scripted though. becomes obvious when you watch the clone vs original video.

>>17530340
lmao I know. it does just kind of reinforce the point that people's reactions to fragrances are pretty random

>>17530323
>Guerlain Jicky
>Guerlain shalimar
>Guerlain mitsouko
All are more masculine than Dior homo original and more creative and smell better.

>>17527118
Try guerlain mitsouko, Guerlain Coriolan and eau de Guerlain

>>17530249
I sampled Drop d'Issey Fraiche recently, because I heard it's kinda unisex and rainy. It's actually mostly just lilac, but it's pretty nice.

>>17530355
what is it with your obsession with this one scent? did your abusive ex boyfriend wear it or something?

>>17530249
Plenty of unisex stuff, the only women's perfume I've bought is Coty Emeraude and it's pretty good. Less feminine than a lot of unisex fragrances.

>>17529840
intense < forever = italian love
pour homme > eau fraiche (eau fraiche recenlty became less fruity with poor longevity)
missoni wave if young, cool water if old, nautica if poor

Does this mf really have 710 frags?

>>17530388
is he the fabled Fragrance Cowboy?

>>17530415
I don't think so, and this is really far from 710.

I just bought lush by lust, what am in for?

>>17530440
Lots of sex.

>>17526867
it’s repulsive. for dirty arabs

>>17526837
nothing. when I was a teen I used to steal testers all the time

>>17527355
vanilla dr. pepper. truly disgusting unless you’re 17

>>17530453
what about the smell tho, any opinions

also

>>17530440
its lust by lush, sorry

Has anyone tried any of the Celine /frags/?

>>17530415
is that 5 bottles of Fahrenheit? kek

I like Chopard Oud Malaki and Burberry London

Kinda wondering if anyone has a lighter spring / summer recommendation. Didn't like Vetiver or Hermes Terra D'hermes

>>17527262
Ted Lapidus Pour Homme

I love this, have been wearing it nonstop since September

>>17530523
dolce & gabbana - the one for men? (only for spring)

>>17530415
>time to musk up

>>17530521
I think those are different flankers

>>17530523
Bois Imperial. Don't be a faggot and learn to love vetvier.

Yeah I'm done testing fragrances on paper strips. The way to go is 4 sprays on body. I used to think Rien was weird, but on body it's great. I could easily get laid wearing Rien. If I wanted to of course.

>>17530523
Kind of hard to think of anything too similar that's good for hot weather.
Maybe Voyage d'Hermes Parfum? That one is kind of spicy but fresh

>>17530415
>can recognize most of these bottles

>>17530335
Aventus is citrussy to me

>>17530388
probably. has a review on every single frag on parfumo.de
but from what i've read i can't say he has super good taste which is sad

>>17530562
only time i ever test on paper strips is in store when i want to test more than 4 frags at most and need to make a selection

>>17530520
yes. tried all of them and own a few. keep in mind they’re all powdery and pretty light.
>dans paris: vanilla play doh. feminine
>bois dormant: peppery, woody, masculine
>cologne francois: old school men’s aftershave
>parade: boring neroli, citrus, musk. girly
>rimbaud: photorealistic lavender + vanilla. I like it
>nightclubbing: green frag mixed with cigarette smoke. very edgy
>reptile: leather plus male musk. skin smell.
>black tie: incredible smokey, iris, vanilla. my favorite
>paris st germains: floral vanilla. girly.
>la peau nue: iris powder explosion. makeup smell like dior homme intense but girlier.
>californie: reminds me of terre dhermes. like hay/farms
overall I like them but the performance can be mediocre and they’re expensive. a guy on reddit sells super cheap decants though

>>17530565
To be fair, there isn't any "underground niche" stuff in there. The Chypre-Siam bottle is probably the only thing you can't find on some fragrance influencers instagram.

>>17530611
I could probably reliable recognize most of the more popular niche bottles and some of the underground ones

>>17530607
Thank you! I'm drawn towards Rimbaud and Black Tie, hopefully on my next day off I can head on to the shop near me and see if they have any of these available to try

either spolied bottle (doubt it) or you are at baby's first fougere/fragrance buy level, I think it's the latter since you want to buy Nautica.
Why would you return an 8$ frag you noselet dumb fuck. Let it rest for some time and get back to it once you grow some hair on your balls and an actual taste for good frags. It has NOTHING pissy nor sweaty, it's fresh clean, nothing dirty, just look at the notes. If you think oakmoss and afterhsave smells pissy and dirty you should buy 1 Million and stick with that, you retarded zoomer. You have never smelled a unrinous frag nor DN if you find it pissy and not a better DN. If you return it please transition asap.

this is the boozy one, I remember liking it. but they all have that dior homme sexy iris DNA that makes the girls want to cuddle up to you and the middle aged 4chan users seethe... so if you don't want that, look elsewhere

>>17528084
try Encre Noire a l'Extreme. it's a little like Terre but without the citrus and spicy parts and with a lot of added frankincense, makes it feel a bit more mysterious. good price, but performance on my skin is not as good as Terre
if you're ok with paying more, you could also try Grey Vetiver. it's a clean, soapy vetiver that has less sweetness and spice than Terre

>>17530880
what frags does your GF like? as far as women's frags go I like:
>Guerlain Shalimar (slightly dirty orientalish frag with prominent vanilla, smokiness and so much more)
>Guerlain Samsara (really classy powdery sandalwood frag)
>TF Black Orchid (floriental gourmand, white floral and dark chocolate kind of vibe)
>Chanel No. 19 (floral chypre. pretty green, reminds me of a field with flowers. probably not for everyone, women rarely wear chypres nowadays)

>>17531013
She currently wears chance eau tendre by Chanel. She likes it but I'm a bit tired of it.

>>17531016
well if she likes Chanel and you're tired of smelling the average sweet modern women's frags you could get her No. 19 and tell her that it's what Coco Chanel herself wore (which is supposedly true)
I wish women still wore chypres, the modern women's frag scene sucks

>>17531039
>the modern women's frag scene sucks
boy i sure do love overly sweet vanilla
because thats all i fucking smell on women.

Caron Third Man (le troisieme homme). Beautiful stuff, lasts a good while, versatile and suitable for all weather, situations, etc. It is very classic without being date, to me anyway. If you like Drakkar, you might like it too. Another good one to check out if you liked Drakkar might be Bon Monsieur by Rogue Perfumery

>>17530677
we have our controlled substances shipped via laser ship, its terrible

>>17531062
I really like the bottle for Prada L'Homme (the cap is nice and weighty too). Not too big on the scent itself though, it's too powdery for me
My only blind buy was Neroli Intense lmao. And yes, I'm happy. Though I have smelled Neroli Portofino before, so maybe not quite a blind buy because they smell almost the same.

anyone else thing versace bottles like eros or eau fraiche are ugly as hell

>>17531072
it's very good
smells fresh, clean, soapy, with some flowery sweetness. a little on the serious side but still appropriate for guys in their twenties.

Bought some Green Irish Sneed. Chances for a good batch? Can't be good with that discount, can it?

etat libre d'orange and bond no9. based or cringe?

>>17531238
ELDO attaquer le soleil is mega based

>>17531130
haven't smelled all of them but yeah I remember Reserve Prive the most fondly. it's more unique than the others with that whiskey note, I don't recall another iris + whiskey scent
the EDP is good too, but basically just one of those Dior Homme Intense wannabees like Valentino Uomo so it's not super unique or original

>>17531238
ELDO is pretty based. reasonably priced for a niche brand and also more adventurous than most. I like Fat Electrician and Rien
Bond no. 9 has the ugliest bottles I've ever seen. haven't had the chance to smell any of them

Vintage, modern, cologne, Aqua, Absolute, Parfum
It checks out but i think one of those is 32

>>17530868
Boisee is the best, Privee smells like stale candy with rum much similar to the awful Pasha Parfum which smells like stale butter candy with brandy.
Booze for me is a heavy alcohol presence without being irritant like a cheap frag aperture is, i don't know which faggot booze bottles people drink to find Pasha or Privee to be "boozy". Then again most perfume reviewers are indeed homosexuals.

Need to pick a couple new frags for spring, rebuilding collection.

1: Green, grassy, floral but not rose
2: Citrus and incense
3: woody vanilla, but airy dry vanilla not thick and cloying.

I'm open to designer or niche, like to keep it below $300 per bottle.

>>17531924
>Green, grassy, floral but not rose
lol

AI(chatgpt): Sure, I'd be happy to suggest some men's fragrances that fit the description of being green, grassy, and floral without including a rose note:

1. Diptyque Philosykos - This fragrance features top notes of fig leaf and fig, middle notes of coconut and green notes, and base notes of cedar and fig tree. It is known for its fresh and green scent that brings to mind a lush Mediterranean garden.

2. Creed Green Irish Tweed - With top notes of iris and lemon verbena, heart notes of violet leaves and Florentine iris, and base notes of Mysore sandalwood and ambergris, this fragrance is a favorite among men who love a fresh green scent.

3. Tom Ford Vert d'Encens - This fragrance features notes of pine resin, fir balsam, and incense along with a hint of floral notes that give it a fresh and green scent.

4. Penhaligon's Sartorial

>>17531924
>a couple new frags for spring
Actually just get Hunter Intense
it is superb
