>mfw tears of nasomatto haters

I love picrel so much bros. I've been using it as my daily all winter long, but it's very much a cold weather scent and I have a feeling I'm gonna be up a creek without a paddle for frags that suit me as well as it when it warms up. Anything close to it (rose heavy while still masculine) but a bit more summery?

>>17541220
He is actually a great reviewer

what's the gas station Antaeus?

>>17541238
You can ask that every threat, but it might just be possible that nobody has tested the dildo of the fragrance world yet. It's supposed to smell like a cinnamon version of Acqua di Gio. Test that at a store. If you ask me, the answer is no, based entirely on my opinion about AdG.

>>17541244
Declaration d'Un Soir maybe?

Any recs for a spring/summer men's white floral frag that won't break the bank like carnal flower?

I can't lie bros, I unironically really enjoy gucci bloom, and I'd honestly wear it if it wasn't so linear, feminine, and makeup smelling. How's stuff like lacoste blanc, platinum egoiste, or zara elegantly tokyo?

>>17541001
Which Jovan? And also Edt Edp EdC?

>>17541258
JeP Neroli Intense
you could also probably get away with wearing Chanel No. 19 as a man

>>17541278
How do I get Jeanne en Provence outside of EU? Nobody has it on W2C sites/Amazon/Ebay. Do I need a shipping proxy? Am I retarded? Thanks a lot tho btw

>>17541301
you could also see if they still sell Ferrari Bright Neroli somewhere... or just buy 4711 and reapply from time to time

>>17541301
i'll proxy it for a humble 50€ fee

>>17541238
It smells like aqua di gio, and the quality is decent, if you don't mind smelling like average mens cologne than go for it

>>17541244
I have a treat for you - gold rose oudh from mr. Terenzi. Smells like a 3D version of Black Aoud, cant get enough of it, although it's not my style. Not summery tho. Check out black musk from montale - it has a similar cold vibe, but it's lighter and more transparent. Weird fragrance but also very intriguing

>>17541301
Just get it while summering in Europe.

>>17541258
Seriously consider Ferrari Bright Neroli. It's actually a definitive stepup from Neroli Intense.

>>17541217
That depends on the bottle maker, but they do not look similar other than the colours
>>17541238
Depends on the price, it's just Acqua di Gio but with better performance which isn't saying much
Whoever says it has cinnamon is probably smelling the original formula, nowadays they erased that
>>17541242
Don't you have a dark dong to lick first? the veil is out my friend, Nasomatto is the new Dior Hommo

Antaeus but with Ambroxan? Ideas?

>>17541244
>summery oud

Oud for glory. Good for spring and fall. I could pull it off in summer.

Also Armani nuit oud

>>17541244
>summery oud
Also try Kenzo homme intense. It's not oudy but very unique and modern bitter woody fresh aka akigalawood.

>>17541229
I look like that and spray that

>>17541278
based, as a penishaver I also enjoy no 19 a lot

>>17541246
Lapidus?

Tea rose by Perfumers Workshop.

Starts with a very boozy rose liqueur note. Quickly develops an airier, more citrus woodsy aspect where the greener aspects of rose predominate. On my skin both facets of rose predominate for the (very long) lifespan of this perfume. Perfectly unisex as it lacks sweetness, perfectly priced at about €15 euros. The packaging is very art deco via your grandmother's vanity circa the 1970s, the hippy aromatherapy vibes of perfumers workshop is reflected mostly through the honest rusticity of the fragrance.

Highly recommended given its price. Estée Lauder believed that women should have access to perfumes as an affordable luxury (hence youth dew, cinnabar etc...). Tea rose was clearly composed with this maxim in mind. Anybody with even a passing interest in fragrance should own this, if not to wear then for use as a room spray.

verdict on this one?

>>17541386
the bull is down the hall and to the left

>>17541387
it's okay, but not worth the price. smells like a fairly successful 5$ arab frag

>>17541392

The dildo of the fragrance world

Always had decent experiences with eBay but got my first bad one. Guess I was due to deal with a dog cunt eventually. Pretty sure this mf filled this shit up with nail varnish or some shit, fucking pain in the ass, gonna have to now message him, best case scenario he just gives me a return label and I have to go down and post this shit back, wasting my fucking time. Worst case open up a dispute and deal with that bullshit. How he thought I wouldn't realise is beyond me. Worst part is I'm pretty sure one of the bottles is real but feels way below what he said the fill level is (this brand's bottle are impossible to see into, no matter how powerful the flashlight or whatever). I get not being a 100% correct in your estimate if you're a good faith actor but you can tell just by the feel and swish of the liquid inside that it isn't "nearly full". Fucking pissed bros.

>go to shop that specialises in niche frags
>have idea of several samples I want to buy
>shop assistant talks to me, tell her what Im interested in
>she looks at me, and says "no, one of those is fine for you but the others maybe not"
>"don't commit to a sample if you don't loooooooooooove it if it doesn't make you FEEL something"

>test two Amouage frags and enjoy them both
>"hm one of those is more appropriate for the opera if you get my meaning"

dumb femoid lost a sale

>>17541537
You gotta go in and start throwing around perfumers names and aromachemicals like it's nothing. Make dismissive comments if they don't know who Luca Turin is etc...

I recommend 20+ sprays of an oldschool oriental like tabu or youth Dew. Let them know exactly what sort of person they are dealing with.

Best ENCRE NOIRE flanker?

>>17541546
>want to read thoughts

None of them will give you super powers so that's that.

>>17541546
Ah yes the "i'm not sure if it's worth putting on a nice scent"

>>17541244
Never heard of this brand before but I'm interested now. What samples should I get?

>>17541587
Montale and Mancera are usually available at every larger store. So technically, the answer is none.

what does picrel smells like?

>>17541546
original:
>the most minimalist and probably least accessible
>just bone-dry greenish inky vetiver with a touch or cypress
sport:
>the freshest and best for hot weather, the most accessible
>tames down the original a lot with citrus and a bit of aquatics, works well with the clean vetiver
>worst performance out of the three
extreme:
>more similar to the original than sport is
>basically just the original with added frankincense and some other resins
>less minimalistic, more complex

I like all three, but Extreme is my favorite. might buy Sport too at some point, would have done it already but the performance is really weak

>>17541592
I think I'll try Montale Paris - Aoud Shiny.

in marshalls today, found Coolwater Streetfighter V champion edition, what the fuck am i looking at, who thought this was a good idea?

>>17541238
i used to have it, as long as price is right its pretty good. i like 360 white better but this is good. maybe you can find it for 20 bucks

anyone try the dep blue version?

>>17541546
Sport is the best one but is very weak. Buy the original.

>>17541665
holy shit i hope this comes to europe

>>17541543
you forgot telling them about avestan
sometimes i bring my bottle with me heh

>>17541718
Is it not already available? I doubt it's any good. Not going to order it.

>>17541730
Holy shit this still exists. I use to wear this shit in high school back in like 2009 because some girl said she liked it. It smells fine, like generic minty cologne.

>>17541730

>>17541305
>>17541332
Bright Neroli is going for almost $50 these days, better to spend the extra few bucks on something like Acqua di Parma Essenza.

>>17541387
Disgusting in every way. Only people covering up their garlic curry BO would wear shit like that.

>>17541539
I'm not even going to order through their online site.

>>17541747
Are you sure? All I can find about it suggests it was released in 2021.

>>17541764

>>17541783
So sad. It's actually really good and has a certain additional refinement to it. I already had to pay almost 30 bucks for it, but it was worth it. Despite the poor ratings it gets for performance, it works really well on my skin, lasting for 8+ hours.

What frag for this feel?

>>17541725
How is Avestan, I need to get some next time I am in London.

street fighter 5 didnt exist in 2009 but maybe you were just thinking of Coolwater which will never go away?

okay so places like nordstrom rack and saks have some higher end stuff but whats the point, the shit is so expensive. found an Hermes thst people dont much care for going for 115 dollars, pass

>>17541832
good. very unique, still haven't come across anything similar. doesn't last that long unfortunately

>>17541933
yeah hitting up the outlets hasn't been very fruitful for me. marshall's for some reason had more decent fragrances out of any outlet, but ebay discounters still had slightly better prices

confused about chrome legend, how to tell if a product is the original wide cap or the shitty thin one

>>17541942
best is when you see all the youtubers say you can find whatever fragrance all over burlington or wherever for "under 20 bucks", and youre in all the stores and literally never come across it ever i found leau dissey ONCE at a ross and they wanted 40 bucks for a 2.5 oz, not even a full bottle

Is it just me? There are a certain several reviewers that always knock every fragrance here. I say this, because, I see their weird profile picture on almost every other review I read. I don’t want to mention names. However, If you have nothing good to say, don’t just go about knocking every fragrance you review. It spoils the imagination of those who might like/love the fragrance when they try it. Some have even voted and rated unreleased fragrances in the past. Unreleased fragrances they haven’t tried. Sounds like fragrance trollers to me.

Thottis? I was looking up opium+musk which spat out this.
Alternatives?

>>17541923
>Only available for bongs
could you elaborate this please?

>>17542027
Alternatively Boudicca Wode if someone knows that.

>>17541933
>>17541942
This is why I only go there and sniff stuff. I've been at a place which draws their online retail stock directly from their stores. I go in there, sniff all the stuff and then stand next to them ordering the stuff for in-store pick-up on their own fucking website for 40-50% less. Next they will say that small businesses are dying due to online shopping. Bullshit, it's the stupid prices.

>>17541946
They are supposed to make people blindbuy all that shit online. Imagine if people actually went to a store to test stuff and then only bought the stuff they liked instead of buying 50 full bottles while trying to find their signature.

>>17542053
>buying 50 full bottles while trying to find their signature.
delete this or else i swear

The concept of a "signature fragrance" is ridiculous anyway.

>>17541420
Canonically he smells like eggs and he's half a deer so something really musky.
Zoologist Deer Musk layered with stale egg whites

>>17541537
Now you get how it feels when someone says a frag is outdated and you should wear something modern, except in person

>>17542066
>A specific scent you love being your trademark and memory anchor for close people is ridiculous
Imagine being this mentally ill and sociopathic

>>17542053
well the problem is that the shit is sealed up with no testers obviously, that is the cost of paying 50% less or even more. im not gonna pay the prices they want for an 8 ml decant its such a waste, when reviews and commenters do a decent job giving you a nice picture. yeah it does suck when you run into something you dont like, or you didnt expect, but you can give it away or try to sell it

>>17542031
It's only available for sale on their official UK website.

>>17542091
They are mass produced. What kind of self regard must you have to consider it "your" signature? Do you also have a signature brand of cereal?

>>17542097
and? there is no delivery to another country? no resellers on ebay?

>>17542091
I think what she was trying to infer was that it is a "classy night out for someone who has money" rather than outdated

>>17542102
>They are mass produced.
You are forgetting not everyone uses frags and not everyone smells everyone else, and also the fact making a niche frag your signature is futile as very few last for more than 10 years, and also the other fact most people are dummies and forget such details unless you are persistent with the fact.
If you have never developed a relationship with someone with a signature, perhaps your dad or grandpa with some "dad frag" then i am sorry, you must be black.
>Do you also have a signature brand of cereal?
You do not have a well known recipe to make or you don't eat something you like above the rest? sorry, you are indeed black.

>>17542121
I understood that, which is no better than mentioning the outdated thing from a saleswoman, they are the same coin and i tried to use an analogy although perhaps not good enough.

is tabu actually good? thinking of getting a decant.
i'm very straight, not sure if that matters.

>>17541537
She was trying to help you, you sperg, that's why she wanted you to look around and test things but didn't mind selling two bottles of overpriced meme crap to broccoli-haired kids. Anyway, just buy T Rex next time.

>Been wearing nothing but Prada Luna Rossa Sport since idk 2015?
>Get complimented all the time, never even thought of using anything else ever.
>Got worried it was going away, bought some similar stuff.
>Now I want to branch out into something different, but no clue where to start.
What smells good to me upon initial smell is different than how it'll be perceived on me. I generally have not liked the Gucci/Versace trash that I've been gifted before. I want to try a new type of smell. I generally like sandalwood, vanilla notes, less fruity and bright but more broody and earthy. Idk hopefully one of you can picture something for me in the right direction.

>>17542489

>>17542489
LRS smells really rounded and flat to me compared to Le Male. Wish I could've smelled Le male before it was raped by reformulations because I love it now.
>>17542615
eh I dont know if its really earthy. it smells really lactonic to me like milk chocolate underneath some spices

I'm going to a local Le Labo store to pick up some sample that I'll probably get clones for. What should I walk in to mog them with?

>>17542644
terre dhermes is my go to. something earthy

>>17542628
that’s the sandalwood

What's an affordabke fragrance that is representative of rose in fragrance? What's a scent that will tell me exactly how I feel about rose in perfumery? What's the quintessential rose fragrance?

>>17542648
I think the consensus is anything citrus heavy.
Versace Pour Homme
Aqua Di Gio edt
Allure Homme Sport edt ect ect

>>17542489
>sandalwood, vanilla notes
I second This is Him. could also try Dior Homme Parfum, that has some sandalwood and vanilla underneath all the leather and iris and it is slightly broody
the classic reccomendation for "broody and earthy" is Encre Noire or one of its flankers

>>17542658
declaration d'un soir is a nice fresh rose
there are different types of rose notes though, some are more jammy / edible or darker

al rehab oud & rose is a really heavy, meaty rose. not much oud in it imo but i have a hard time makimg out the oud often.

I ordered a sample of Chergui, how fucked am I bros?

>>17542271
I'm not forgetting anything you condescending prick. If I make a recipe it's an expression of my own creative impulses, if I wear a fragrance it's merely a consumptive preference.

Identifying with the things you consume is truly goyish behaviour, I sincerely hope they never reformulate boss bottled or whatever it is you wear, you might have a existential crisis.

>>17542283
It's not what it used to be. Youth dew is better to my nose, but both are still interesting.

>>17542658
Tea rose, read the thread.

The quintessential rose is Guerlains nahema but you probably don't want to spend all that money just to find out you hate it.

>>17542811

does youth dew smell animalistic? the animal notes in tabu is what made it look more interesting

>>17541244
Thanks for the recs guys, will look into all of these

>>17541420
Yatagan Caron for sure

>>17541587
The Black Aoud I posted is my favorite, but I also lean a bit goth in how I dress so the woody rose scent fits it (lot of the reviews for it you see online call it something dracula would wear lol). One of my exes had a bottle of Intense Cafe and I liked it on her a lot, but I dunno if a guy could pull it off

>>17541923
there is a new one from nishane that i recently tested with good performance.

>>17542813
>Identifying with the things you consume is truly goyish behaviour
Sure we can look it that way but your scent is still a trademark, be it grapefruit with musk or vanilla with tobacco, also your clothing colours and palette unless you want to go the "hurr durr make your own clothes" you dumb faggot
If it isn't Boss Bottled then it would be another sweet fruit bottle or a clone you dummy, that's the reason clones exist, people wanting to smell that instead of saying they wear that.

>>17542841
Have you tried Creed Erolfa? been hearing by old Creed fags that it is one of the best but turns out really fast.
Bourdon seems to have not made something as similar outside the brand so it is mysterious to me.

>>17542825
No youth dew isn't really animalic.

>>17542845
This is a very Jeremy fragrance tier way of engaging with the art of perfumery. I'm bored of talking to you, don't post in these threads anymore.

Is this you again lol
Kill yourself nigger, real perfumery is about the smell, not the bottles or attracting bitches

I have memorised your posting style and will make you my new personal project.

Asked for a spring time crowdpleaser and some anon said Sauvage. I don't really care that it's overused, but I was wondering if there's a specific type you lads recommend. Edt? Edp?

>>17543191
It's a great feeling being able to influence others through posting alone.

>>17543206

>mogs your warm weather fragrance

>>17542811

Honestly it’s nothing too crazy, more oriental than you’re used to if you aren’t into niche houses, but super wearable and pleasant. I wouldn’t personally buy a bottle since it doesn’t last or project well on me, but YMMVGTVGJT

>>17543040
>Tom Ford at retail price

the only TF I'm willing to buy at retail is Soleil Neige as I can't seem to find it anywhere on any discounters

>>17543371
I tried that one and it reminded me of Nishane - Wulong Cha. Maybe it's just me but there was a vegetal quality to both that I liked. It was only a few days apart from each other that I tried them, so maybe I was just getting Strong Boss Baby Vibes.

>>17543392
Oh really? Ive been eyeing Wulong Cha as well. The vegetal quality may have been the carrot seeds? The opening is harsh almost citronella-like, but when the dry down kicked in I was floored.

My sampleset of niche aquatics arrived. Let's see if there's something worthy at it.
>inb4 sampled alot but somehow 95% of well known frags are trash

>>17543038

>>17543186
My signature, highly recommended.

>>17543149
Depends on your definition of temp. ranges, hot for some is 25 and for others 45, mild varies wildly too.

>>17543203
Don't, but if you live in an area where it isn't used as much then go for EDP
Elixir is another thing itself, but for the classic go EDP. Or save some money and get Armaf Urban Elixir.

>>17543496
Boss Bottled Parfum is one of the best things you can get for 50 dollars, i disagree
I don't have it but i sampled it and was surprised, nothing to do with the bubblegum cattle scents they release

>>17543658
I hate it

>>17543995
I was thinking Sauvage cause it was the most obvious "crowdpleaser," but I'm sure it's overused where I live. Anything else that's a crowdpleaser for spring? Thanks in advanced

What's your favorite fruity fragrance (unisex or masculine), that is NOT fresh, fougere, or barbershop-y?

>>17544003
have you tried declaration? My fav is TdH, so bleu noir is kinda in the same vein. Performance is shit though, but c'est la vie

I really REALLY enjoy fahrenheit

>>17544124
As does every man with high testosterone levels.

>>17543664
why not

>>17544108
>have you tried declaration?
Yes, i hate all of them along with every Bleu Noir except Extreme because it isn't like the rest, i think it is a poor flanker in its line due to not sharing much despite being called Extreme.
I would like to say dislike but no, it is hate because i was told it was the best and most manly Cartier but it is far from it, a really well blended bottle with good rose but Eau De Cartier, Pasha Noir, Santos, the old Roadster and even the original Pasha before it smelled like nothing at all are much more manlier, wasted the first coins i put in the hobby for some samples of Declaration and i felt ripped off.
I think Santos is a very underrated bottle, not seen often because it is not sold in the US and in Europe supposedly it is rarely on discounters, a herbal bomb not unlike Declaration except it is much more greener and with a touch of musk. Also a man can wear it or at least it could before the reformulation, it is decent but performance is trash, i think that's Cartier's main problem because the ones that perform well smell funky or stale like Pasha Parfum and L'Envol.

>>17544124
Me too buddy, shame the flankers ceased to exist.

>>17544049
Crowdpleasers almost by definition are overused: Bleu de Chanel, Allure Sport, Versace Homme and Dylan Blue, Montblanc Legend ED Parfum and Spirit (ED Parfum is more of a night time/fall-winter thing), Azzaro Chrome, CK One, Lacoste Blanc, YSL Y but can't say for sure because i don't really remember how it smells.
Pick your poison there, i bet there's more in better blends and profiles but for the price and ubiquity in most stores you can pick any of those and be good, problem would be performance and that wildly depends on batch.
Bleu de Chanel EDP would the best performer but probably also the most expensive one out of the bunch. For hipster points i would pick Azzaro Chrome because it stopped being overused by the early 00's but you have to reapply that thing every 3 hours.

>>17544206
There's rose in declaration? Maybe you're talking about soir, which is atrocious. Funny enough I can't stand Santos and like l'envoi and pasha parfum.

>>17544225
>early 00's
10's i meant, its place in the brand in terms of marketing was replaced with Wanted and all its flankers, although that's a different kind of scent.
Azzarofags can complete a year with their line, Chrome and flankers in spring/summer, Wanted and flankers in fall/winter, Homme at night/evening and in mild conditions. Now was also good but discontinued because green scents are not that popular nowadays.

>>17544232
>which is atrocious
It was the best one out of the 4 i tried (essential, edt, soir, a green faded one) no the original Declaration doesn't have that much rose (in my opinion there is some in there) but it has that sweaty armpit smell my nose picks, all of them.
The scent profile never peaks, it is subtle and noble all the way but that fresh sweat and pungent sharp spice that waves around its florals doesn't sit well in me. Mind you i really don't think they are bad, i just don't like it none.
>Funny enough I can't stand Santos and like l'envoi and pasha parfum.
Well that just means you are consistent, you dislike what i like and i hate what you like, that means we are both right in our tastes. Supposedly Santos had a concentrated version which i could never find, that one would've made you gag while Declaration has a parfum version which i don't want to smell, Pasha parfum too was a massive disappointment for me because my pop had it and i recall its oakmoss+mint profile while nowadays it has no oakmoss and the mint has been neutered to a sweet Wringleys-tier mint rather than the sharp but never obnoxious Clorets-tier mint... the parfum is just rum with caramel.
L'Envol was hyped by the saleslady to be the one that the most fancy and well-positioned clients buy, i really like the bottle but to me the scent smells like a mess in the aperture, buttcrack in the heart and a pungent honey note in the final drydown.

You probably would've liked Roadster Black, i didn't, it was a woody vanilla with mint, kinda like a weird bridge between Pasha and Pasha Parfum but without the booziness. Cool bottle too, Cartier never disappoints in that regard aside from Eau de Cartier.

>>17544248
I just get honey and violet, but it is a bit sickening after awhile. Pasha I agree with. I like it better than the edt, but its just okay. I'm actually not sure if I remember Santos correctly, because I tried it very early on and may have gotten it mixed up with this clove scent in a similar bottle. Maybe Santos smells a bit like gentleman with a bit of stale cigarette smoke and something sweet but muted. Bleu Noir is just like declaration without all that caraway. Declaration really does smell like sweat on the dry down and the scent is the most spice rack-y thing ive ever smelled. I'd definitely like to try eau d'cartier. All of there stuff smells high quality and classy to me, I just dont love any of it

>>17544271
Jacomo de Jacomo is the clove one

Al Haramain Detour noir came in today, smells so fucking good, very long lasting.
Love it.

>>17541809
Lalique Encre Noir

>>17544248
Thank you so much for the info, I'm gonna end up getting some samples of a few you listed, hoping I like the smell of BDC Edp since it seems like a very easy pick

>>17544271
>clove scent
I heavily dislike clove, Santos would be an acrid experience for me if it was clovy. I think it does have some under the hood but very little, its herbal and spices go more around pepper, basil, rosemary, lavender, patchouli and some wood. Now that i think of it there might be some clove mixed in with the pepper because it is somewhat sweet, but it appears in the drydown where the wood drowns it. It's one of those perfumes that mix every ingredient in the shelves, "the whole is more than the sum of its parts".
It's an italian fresh rack mixed in with the gentleman-vibe you well said, i associate with booze and tobacco because that's how my pop smelled when he used that frag as it was his business reunion bottle
>the most spice rack-y thing ive ever smelled
Declaration does smell like that but in a very dry and household form, Santos does in a fresh bistro sense. Oddly enough i was gifted some obscure soda bottles because mom said they tasted like Santos, because of the dirty implication that she actually has tasted it from my pop i decided to try the soda and yeah, i can see that; uses japanese cloves, jap high grass buds and jap floor-level bush. Ego Herbal it is called.

>eau d'cartier
Somewhat generic but well done violet leaf with citrus and woods, but never so masculine like GIT or Zegna Uomo. Concentree is supposedly full man with two balls but i've never found it on stores, also later discontinued.
>high quality and classy to me, I just dont love any of it
They use good material but they seem to underperform nowadays, IFRA has definitely fucked their shit but they insist on using the same ingredients which i like, shame it reduces most of their stuff into cologne-levels of performance. Their women line is supposedly better, La Panthere was a very nice scent but i know little of that so i don't know if it is generic or not, i liked it very much, somewhat bitter citrus with sweet tones/rhubarb and oakmoss-patchouli base.

>>17544327
>I'm gonna end up getting some samples
Go to a retail store if you can to try the tester bottles they have there for the public in general, this so you can save money and shipping costs.
Those frags can be found almost anywhere hence why i listed them as the most generic but still fancy.

>>17543163
What's wrong with Mitsuoko? Also is Mitsuoko a spring appropriate scent?

>>17544331
Its not that I smell clove in it. I just dont know whether what im remembering as digusting me was Santos or Jacamo. I think it may have been a lavender barber shop thing but dark and smoky now that I think of it, so it probably is Santos. Gentleman kind of disgusts me too. The only 80s powerhouse frag I really like is kouros and even that makes me sick if im eating lol Holy shit that soda sounds disgusting. Everything fucking underperforms now days. I'm to the point where it seems pointless to own anything older than 5 years because IFRA rapes everything eventually. Fuck IFRA jews. La Panthere sounds pretty good. I tried Baiser Fou because Turin gave it a good review but it was a sickly sweet raspberry white chocolate that I didn't really like. You seem to have sampled a lot, so im surprised you liked Declaration Soir. All those masculine marketed rose frags like Soir, Toy Boy, and Hermann smell very cold, medicinal, and synthetically cheap to me. There's a Vicks Vapor Rub quality to them all.

>>17544053
Kerosene - Fields Of Rubus
Patchouli and Raspberry, dries down to vanilla

>>17544340
You can enjoy mitsuoko at any time.

Also don't listen to that guy, he's been in a weird feud with another poster stretching over 3-4 threads now.

>>17544349
>You seem to have sampled a lot
I raid retail shops and mingle with the salesladies, pick the testing papers i use and spread them in my apt. to smell after 6 hours. Then when they lose the scent i pack them up tightly and wait some days, that's when the ambroxan and all the common base chemicals appear.
I test every name i recognize but i haven't checked everything in the stores and some testers are absolute dogs, you mentioned Toy Boy: I haven't smelled one of those teddy bears that has smelled the same, they all smell different and vary wildly. Some smell overly sweet and very faint, others like rose and pretty strong, others like faint sweet rose, others like syrup, i always triple check Toy Boy to see if it is not a flanker and no, they vary a lot so i can never say anything about it.
Same with Terre D' Hermes, always somewhat different and i can never smell it that strong, straight from the bottle smells like a skin scent to me, guess i am a noselet for Iso E Super YET i supposedly have a bottle that uses that a whole lot and it smells like pure pencil but creamy.
But i know very little of niche frags because i can buy a closet bottle with the money rather than a 5ml sample. Closet is what i refer to very popular frags that aren't on retail/physical stores for some obscure reason, most of the time classics like Drakkar Noir, Grey Flannel, Quorum, Pino Silvestre, Bogart and Lagerfeld stuff, they are hidden in storage in some weirdo stores and online salesmen. Cartier is practically a closet fragrance line in the US and Canada.

>IFRA rapes everything
Arab shit is probably the small-economy hobbyist's future
>that soda sounds disgusting.
Tastes like italian chinotto soda in the beginning but quickly goes into strong herbal notes, almost medicinal but not there yet. Sucralose shits all over it sadly, that's the IFRA-equivalent of soft drinks, the lack of real cane sugar.
>Vapor Rub
Strong words, guess i'll test Soir again

What's the verdict (EDP)?

>>17544393
Good and you’ll smell unique compared to most other cologne wearers.

>>17544124

It's nice if you're used to it. It's not a fragrance though that you put on to smell good to anyone else.

>>17544393

It's very generic, inoffensive but nothing stood out.

I spent 5-6 hours testing fragrances at airports recently and this stood out as something that didn't have any good or bad qualities to draw me to.

>>17541258
As long as you aren't talking, moving and dressing like a faggot you can pull of any scent - even if you are and you like Bloom then, like any other scent or fashion look you aren't sure of, just use it til you're used to wearing it. People just think you're using a scent from a gf or carrying the smell from rubbing up against her.

I can't get enough of Coco Mademoiselle, I wear it in the summer. I used to never wear pink cos I thought it looked gay, now I wear all shades and look and feel comfortable in it.

>>17541387
8/10
The immediate opening off the spray can be unpleasant, like sting-your-nose unpleasant. Don't know what that ingredient is but they should stop using it.

If you hold your breath for 5 secs while spraying then the opening is a very pleasant and almost summery pear and something floral, it dries down into a gorgeous saffron/tobacco which is a bit heavier. It can be used year-round except very hot summer or hot humid days. Autumn to spring, no problem. Its strong so don't overspray. It can survive a shower unless you scrub the skin where it was applied which you may see as a feature or a bug, obviously former for me as I need longevity if I'm spending 100 on a bottle.
I find it quite unique, I haven't smelled anything else quite like it. As someone else said its a bit a-rab but nowhere near as much as anything oud, which I can't stand but half this board chugs like a camel fucking sand shovellers so sample it and see what you think.

>>17544456
are you a fag?

>>17544466
With digits like that I guess I am - very nice
After I fucked my gf yesterday whilst wearing my pastel pink t-shirt, I left with her CH good girl all over me overpowering my platinum egoist. quite enjoyed that too.

if you derive your self worth from the fragrance you wear, then you have much bigger problems. some of us just want to smell nice

>>17544304
Damn waiting for mine. I have no idea what Layton smells like, but the apple pie comparison has me excited.

I was super disappointed with Scadnal, Danger and Elysium but this is fucking narcotic. Didn't like it at first but I keep getting whiffs from my sweatshirt which I sprayed over a week ago and I can't stop thinking about it.

>>17544393
performance is shit. I liked it at first but am getting sick of it. Would rather have TDH

>>17541387
1/10 Mancera is shit tier

Champion Black has arrived. No oakmoss on the ingredient list. Gonna give it a proper wear tomorrow and test it against other stuff, but as of right now I've dabbed it on my wrist and it opened way more like a Cool Water scented shower gel and has now dried down into a mix of Cool Water and Montblanc Legend (EdP), with some of that "violet" background GIT has. In any case, it's not the pure CW smell but with performance, since the smell already strays away from CW. Not bad, though.

>>17541730
makes sense. Street Fighter 2 had so many flankers, you'd mistake the game for a designer frag.

>>17541387
pajeet / 10.
no human would ever wear it.
if you want to be known as arab instead of pajeet buy herod or carlisle from fumes icarly.

ELDO sample set came in. All are very interesting, even if I wouldn't wear them. Very fun purchase. Most wearable of the bunch are probably Fat Electrician (will cop a bottle) and Remarkable People (spicier, less obnoxious version of fucking fabulous).

>>17544124
my wife loves it. idk why people pretend it's a hoe-scaring scent

>>17544964

RD is garbage

>>17543107
Only two real choices, I've tried them and both last way to goddamn long, at least 15hrs in warm weather.

>Homme Intense EDT
To me this one is heavier on the woody notes (Akigalawood) and medium on the marine scent but it also adds some complexity with other accords, I smelled faint watermelon aroma after 2 to 3hrs on the skin and even fainter... something else.
Personally I found this one more muddle than the other one, less straight forward (or more "complex and sophisticated" if you end up liking it more).

>Homme Eau de Parfum
This is less complex and has 3 accords it goes through (in order): Marine, Woody and Patchouli. Each one having its time in the spotlight as it develops. On 1st spray it's a lovely Marine scent adorned with a woody note, then the Marine accord fades and the wood is adorned with the earthy musky Patchouli, and then the wood fades and the faintly spicy earthy Patchouli brings it home.
I went with this since I was specifically looking for a maritime scent and this is just a perfect picture of sailing to the sea on a old boat at 5am.

tldr: Intense is woodier, EdP simpler

Uh oh. Just sprayed a sample of Encre Noire and it smells like someone put out a campfire, which I kinda like. But I can only smell sweet notes after 30 minutes and the vetiver goes away. Sprayed again to confirm I didn't go nose blind. Is it known to have bad longevity? Possible reformulation?

>>17545092

>>17545457
Sel marin smells very authentic, salty, gives me the impression of the mediterranean. But the longevity could be better.

lookin for an older discontinued frag, Jovan Ginseng. can't find it anwhere, only bottles on ebay are like 300 dollars

>>17545516
what? ginseng NRG or the original?

>>17545312
It ain't no vintage Cool Water, but it also ain't bad. It definitely has some GIT mixed in there as well. I'd almost say the drydown is closer to GIT than to CW, but then again it is also not. I feel like this is the result you'd get if you mix CW, GIT and Aspen. It also seems to last, but it doesn't seem to project that much. It could be another flanker to those 3 and that alone is good enough for me right now.

>>17544964
What set is this? Never saw it in this format

>>17544743
Women vary a lot depending on the region, westernized women like emasculating frags while rurals and conservatives like funk and/or power scents.
Weirdos like funky emasculating juices but those femoids are rare, at least around here.

>>17542615
Just tried it. It is really muted just an hour in

>>17544898
>No oakmoss on the ingredient list.
Fuck
>Montblanc Legend (EdP)
Worried because that one is a musky one, i like that but not when the violet leaves should be first on the line. Unless i tried a macerated bottle at the mall.
>Not bad, though.
At least it's unique but no wonder the arabs haven't shilled it like Dakar, it's not a copy-cat.

>>17545654
Pic unrelated?

Just tried this one again, a Polo Blue miniature splash bottle from more than 10 years ago, after a long while. It is a strange experience now that i've read the note breakdown:
Officially this is a melon + mandarin + cucumber, some smelly leaves like basil and geranium and a base of woods, suede and musk.

It has 5 of my most liked ingredients, that's the theory because the reality is it opens with a deep synthetic basil mixed in with some bitter-ish but elegant citrus, probably akin to the peels of a sweet orange but perhaps it is the mandarin, all the ozonic vibes from the melon and cucumber are absent, there's no ozone scent akin to Fahrenheit at all because right after the basil+orange appears the base, a dense musky scent that is probably the musk+suede combo and with small touches of some aromatic stuff which i suppose is the thing that tried to be sage and woods, but doesn't remind of woods but more of a musky musk leather.

Reviews mention this is an airy ozonic freshie but honestly this smells like some EDP of a warm nighttime frag, it is fresh due to the citrus but the entire thing hits the nose like a punch rather than a breeze. Was it really that reformulated or does the splash application just makes all the notes hit at the same time? because this is as artificially dense as Montblanc Legend when it dries down, that synthetic musk that lingers around heavily and goes directly into your forehead when you smell it.

Performance in a zoomer office sense, that is indoors in a controlled weather without doing any physical activity, is around 6 hours but you can still faintly sniff it at 8 hours. On the streets with the occasional wind on a sunny day it lasts maybe 2 or 3 hours if you are lucky which is decent because shit doesn't more than 2 often.
I think it is a pretty manly frag after the shower but reviewers are smelling something else or are batshit insane if they think this smells like shower gel, it has shared notes but the scent hits like a truck.

>>17545753
it might be a US only thing.

What's it smell like? Kinda wanna give it a shot

>>17545842
sorry but layering is cringe

Got a bunch of samples for fun

Tried:
>DH2020
growing on me, the cashmeran and pure wood cleaner overload Iso-E Super turned me off a bit at first but the bergamot opening and cashmeran-cedar combo are really good
>DHS2021
liked it better than dh2020 at first, but it’s way incense-y on my skin (and even more on clothes), not feeling it much
>Prada L’Homme
tried this one today, nice enough at first but just ended up smelling like frosting most of the day, bleh

To Try:
>L’Eau de Issey
>Versace Pour Homme
>Terre d’Hermes Eau Givree
>D&G light blue forever

Looking for a summer scent but it’s been weirdly cold and wet, think I’ll try Issey for work tomorrow

>>17545876
L'Eau D'Issey is crap now. VPH is the better fresh scent

>>17545929
Issey is crap, but VPH is worse

>>17545929
>>17545934
Yer tellin me I bought a frag from a jap for nothing? And the wop one is worse?

>>17545992
Issey I like 10x better than VPH but it kinda smells cheap like ADG with some nondescript floral notes. Everything from Versace smells low quality. Girls like Dylan blue, but it really smells like aerosol deodorant to me and I dont mind blue shit. Eros is a good fuckboy frag too, but not necessarily high quality.

>>17546010
Yeah dylan blue is mid forgettable and Eros is like pure jolly rancher candy. If Prada and YSL lhomme were both too sweet for me eventually, I don’t even know what that shit would be like in the dry down

>>17546067
Yeah Prada is sickeningly sweet after a while. I hate sweet shit too. L'homme I didn't find too sweet, but it just doesn't smell good. Not at all as modern as I thought it'd be for how its marketed

anyone got recommendations on spring scent for school? don’t really care about what it smells like or cost just the compliment factor. pardon me if i sound retarded i’m a newfag

There, that's a decent list of shit from the 80s that was awesome and doesn't get talked about as much.

can you fags stop making threads on /pol/

>>17541229
is there any reason to ever buy EDT instead of EDP? (other than price)

>>17546250
They're generally different scents not just different concentrations of the same scent

>>17546250
Yes, because now EDT vs EDP isn't always a difference in formulation, it's often a whole new scent ie BDC EDT vs EDP, Sauvage EDT vs EDP vs Parfum, Ralphs Club EDP vs Parfum, Kenzo Homme EDT vs EDP, etc etc

>>17546228
>Balenciaga Pour Homme
>Chanel Antaeus
>Polo Green
>Cartier Santos
>Jacomo de Jacomo
>FUCKING Drakkar Noir

>doesn't get talked about as much
Do you even browse these threads you doofus

>>17546250
Sometimes EDP has more ingredients that change a perfume, for example usually they are more warm while EDT is either more fresh or has a more prominent base or aperture.
Sometimes it's a different perfume altogether.

>>17546250
general rule, edt project better due to more alcohol, edp last a bit longer due to more fragrance. as others have stwted, sometimes the versions are completely different because fuck you

>>17546263
That's six frags out of the 20 I posted. Drakkar gets memed, Antaeus does get talked about, same with Balenciaga. Polo Green is infrequent. Santos and Jacomo flat out don't get discussed, please don't act like they do, neither do the 14 other frags I listed.

So at worst 15/20 frags I posted don't get discussed, now kindly tongue my anus.

>>17546280
how are the loewe frags? note profile of solo oragami looks great and the price isnt crazy high

>>17542825
If you're looking for something animalic, get a sample of Marlou Ambilux. That shit is truly insane. Unwearable imo but beautiful af.

>I posted don't get discussed
Wrong you dumb faggot
>now kindly tongue my anus.
Did you bathe with Kouros shower gel? this is important

>>17546288
if you can get a good price on loewe go for them.

>>17546297
FUCK costus. that shit always smell like old people, like goude or some shit. I love animalic notes, I love dirty musks, but costus is the one fucking note that beats me I cannot imagine any scenario in which I would be happy to smell like it, maybe if you have a fetish for disabled old people.

>>17546374
He did say it was unwearable after all

>>17546288
First, nice dubs
Second, I love Loewe frags. Escencia and Homme are great old school frags, the solo line is really well done but for me the 7 line is my favorite since I love incense. The 7 line is basically Comme Des Garcon levels of incense quality, and the best one is Plata because it mashes up really weird shit like citrus, mint and incense and it works beautifully and lasts all day for me. I don't get compliments often, but in the year I've worn Plata three women and one man have stopped me in public to tell me I smell great. That's just not something that happens often for me.

>>17545849
nah the only cringe in fragrances is "niche" fragrances that smell like racoon cum and bowling alleys because "it's an art" and "experiencing the notes", shit is reddit and gay

>>17546213
Why not Terre? I'm not the guy you're reolying to btw

I've heard that leather as well as tabacco fragrances are love/hate, you wouldn't wear to be crowdpleasers. You can't please everybody, but what are some other challenging/polarizing notes in fragrance that you would avoid if trying to play it safe(r)?

>>17546444
>leather as well as tabacco fragrances are love/hate
>challenging/polarizing notes in fragrance that you would avoid if trying to play it safe?
Vinyl leather and sweet tobacco desu

>>17546444
musks, animalics, heavy incense, deep patchouli, cumin. I actually do not think tobacco is love/hate at all, unless you are talking about ciggarettes or smoke/ash notes. Or about the tobacco note that mancera and pdm uses, if you meant those, it's less about being a love/hate and more about being a human and a pajeet/arab

>>17545929
>>17545934
Mornin fellas, you guys were right lol this issey kinda sucks
Not unpleasant but just kinda there

You're going noseblind. The Encre Noire line are easy to go blind to and overspray, long after I can't smell it other people will catch them on me.

L'instant smells like an old man. It'd be dumb to wear that. The others are fine

>>17546259
Why have you tried both Ralphs club edp and parfum lol

>>17546523
I wore it when I saw your post. That Lily of the valley or calone is really strong on me that gives it this high pitched syntheticness. I dont know what it used to smell like before reformulation, but the longevity is surprisingly decent. I woke up still smelling it on my arm. It's alright, but I'll never understand the praise some people give it

>>17546597
it's a good mix, somewhat classic and cheap. sure nautica voyage does the trick too but do i want to smell like everyone who watches jeremy?
it's not a masterpiece but it just werks.

>first date dinner date
you aint gonna get any action
at least don't scare the hoes with TdH though

>>17546794
TdH isnt scary...
or is it?

Got nine fragrances for free from my father, who loves perfume but rarely wears it because my mother is bothered by it. I am utterly ignorant and uncultured, but here are my ratings anyway.
>Loved It
Lorenzo Villoresi Piper Nigrum and Yerbamate, Eau Duelle by St. Germain Diptyque
>Liked It
Creed Silver Mountain Water, Siecle, Philosykos.
>Meh
Truefitt and Hill West Indian Limes and Geo F. Trumper Extract of Limes.
>Actively Disliked
Green Irish Tweed

Both lime scents just smelled like limes and didn't last long, inoffensive but not really interesting to me. I have no idea why but the Green Irish Tweed really bothered me, I had to go wash some of it off while remote working.

I think I'll decant travel bottles of the Piper Nigrum and Yerbamate with me on my upcoming trip to Mexico.

>>17546157
I don't know what L'Instant Eau Extreme smells like, but neither BI nor TdH were well received by any woman with a relevant opinion in my life.

>>17546920
>I asked 3 fucking old cunts at my shitty job if they liked BI and they said no

>>17546926
Cope. It's just not well received. I can't change that.

thank you all, i wasnt aware of this

kek saleslady at the frag store wasn't able to tell apart DHP and DHI

>>17546960
As in my smell or she just couldn't find the right bottle?

>>17546961
bottle. had dhp and dh2020 and they weren't in the right place. asked her which one is which and she claimed that dhp is dhi, even though i told her it says parfum on the bottom. to be fair the bottles are SHIT (just like the scent)

>>17546967
Did you call her a faggot?

>>17546971
ofc and i told her to read turin. i was wearin dakar.

so this guy at work hugged someone and the guy had so much cologne on, the guy he hugged smelled like him the rest of the day

>>17546886
those are some quality frags, Yerbamate is nice indeed
what is Piper Nigrum like?

>>17546942
I'm bi. I fucked your cat when she was in heat too.

Tried a bunch of le labos since I have one close to me and bought a few samples too. The Noire 29 was a standout. Give it a try if you like the smell of honey and black tea. People online say it has a fig note but I dont eat them so can't tell. No good clones out so I'll probably just get a 15ml since their shit is expensive

>>17547006
I don't have a very strong vocabulary of fragrance, so as I've been trying fragrances day by day I've been looking them up to compare my subjective experience with what other (hopefully more knowledgeable)people say the notes are. In my own words, Piper Nigrum is spicy and peppery (no surprise with the name) with a bit of of sweetness that's not saccharine. If I tried to explain it further I'd just be mimicking the words of others at this point.

Am new to fragrance, have sampled a decent amount. I'm not really a fan of fresh/fougere/barbershopy fragrances.

I've been kinda avoidant of lavender because of that, but am I correct? Does lavender give off thatt fresh vibe? If not, what are some fragrances with a prominent lavender note to try and see if I like lavender?

Also what other notes should I avoid?

>>17547103
CARON POUR UN HOMME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>17547103
do not write posts like a redditor, and no lavender is not a fresh note, it's more of a calm/loundry note, it smells like mothballs to some, since a lot of anti-moth stuff for closets is lavender scented. but if you have tried a lot of fougeres you probably do not like lavender anyway.
as for frags with prominent lavender:
Pour Un Homme de Caron
Jicky Guerlain
XJ 1861 Naxos Xerjoff
L'Occitane en Provence
Brilliantly British Penhaligon's
F by Ferragamo Black
Bucoliques de Provence L'Artisan Parfumeur

>>17547138
Could you give me an example of how you would rewrite my post in a based effay 4chan way

>>17547200
just do not use reddit spacing you absolute fucking mongol

>>17547138
Also I've sampled enough fragrances to know I really don't like that sort of fresh, aftershave, shower gel soapy type smell.

The only fragrances that might be considered fougere I've tried would be eau de minthe by diptyque and ysl kouros, possibly others escaping my memory.

>>17547221
Oops reddit spacing. Darn!

is it kino?

>>17547321
yes, dank and mossy yet fresh and clean

>>17547103
wtf those are the only frags I like

>>17541230
>>17541231
firs time being in one of these threads and I have no idea wtf i'm looking at i'm out

>>17546597
>I'll never understand the praise some people give it
Really green stuff is for some reason divisive nowadays, but it's one of those frags people proclaim the original and the reformulation to be different things so we can't really know unless we get to sniff both.
>high pitched syntheticness
Spot on, i liked how it smelled but it was obvious something happened there, Egoiste Platinum which attempts a green aperture of cut grass too doesn't get that at all yet LEDI goes all for it and doesn't help the citrus is acid at times.

>>17546886
>but here are my ratings anyway.
I remember, those were a niche cache.
>Actively Disliked: Green Irish Tweed
>I am utterly ignorant and uncultured
We can see that buddy, glad you are using decant travel bottles because airport customs are uber jews with anything inside a bottle.

>>17547431
Ask something then

>>17547483
The green-ness in the background is the only thing that makes it mildly interesting compared to something like ADG. I compare every green frag to No 19 though, which I find disgusting. Platinum I liked at first, but I just smell banana now. It smelled completely different to me when I first smelled it.

try reading the text on the flowchart. it couldn't be easier. it's all laid out for you. do you need an ai-generated voice to read it for you while you watch a subway surfer video?

Now that is strange, maceration did a number on the bottle maybe?
