Still sweet orange mess like the edt

>>17571858
i dont get the impulse to insult a fragrance by calling it a "mess" or "screechy" or whatever other fragcomm cliche you want to use if you dont like a scent. just say its too sweet for you

>>17571846
they're pretty similar. some guy in this thread prefers the EDP, but it's personal preference. EDT has pretty good performance from my experience. smell them both if you're not sure

>>17571858
are you mistaking that for something else? the green highness has nothing to do with nyi and is leagues below.

cant wait till the summer really heats up so i can start dousing myself with chrome sport

>>17571826
Is Spicebomb extreme worth buying right now? I've heard it's more of a fall scent

y'all really like the 3 types of encre noire, but do you have anything else from Lalique?

What's the hype around spicebomb. I tried it the other day and it just smelled mid. I tried the night vision. I smelled the red one too buy I hated it

>>17572184
both versions of pour homme are good as well

Please rec me some frags young guys would've worn in the 70s. What was popular at the time?

>>17572190
I don't really like spicebomb, but you smelled the two versions no one cares about
all the hype is about the OG and Extreme

>>17572195
Ok cool, I'll give those a whiff next time.

Best YSL Y flanker?

>>17572061
>and is leagues below
Yeah, NYI is nicely blended, but ruined by overload of sweetness. At this point point His Highness or Eucris EDP is mich better for my high test hairy nose.

Guys, Chance from Chanel is just so good. Wonder if I could pull it off as a man.

>>17572184
Amethyst is amazing

i'm usually not that into fragrances, but i bought this on a whim and i like it

very weak bait in this thread
sotd farina russisch leder. a classic. simple but snice

>>17572184
some anons here speak highly of equus

>>17572194
A lot of the big '70s ones have gone away but Aramis is still around and smells great

>>17572194

anyone remember ocean dream by giorgio beverly hills?

Chrome United or Chrome Sport?

>>17572862
i feel like they are not comparable, pretty different scents. isnt united the one with the tea note?

>>17572875
Yea that's what it says, they're pretty cheap should I just try both?

I just tried a sample of Percival by PdM. I don´t know why but the Fierce DNA to me smells like a wet dog

>>17572742
Am I retarded or is Eau Sauvage Parfum discontinued?

>>17572880
not sure, i saw chrome united at my local ross and passed it up because i heard it was a little powdery and i didnt need any more powdery frgs at the time (im sure its not that powdery) the tea note is intriguing but i just had to scale back my purchases

Ever since I got into niche fragrances I can't go back to designer.

>>17573080
>niche fragrances
I tried Duptyque fragrances, they looked promising.
All the ones I tried didnt last more than 3 hours

What are some niche ones you like?

>>17573082
Haven't tried a ton and probably going to get shit on but I like mfk and creed. The scents just have more depth. I really don't like Tom Ford though

>>17573080
Try Profumum Roma, Papillon, Aedes de Venustas, Naomi Goodsir and Nicolai Parfumeur

>>17573100
Ok thanks

724 Maison Francis Kurkdjian
What does it smell like?

I bought samples for 8 different Maison Kurkdjian fragrances (am man):
Petit Matin: noticeably similar to aqua vitae with the lemon pledge
Aqua Vitae: laundry detergent opening: this time lemon pledge. can tell other notes are behind, but the whole fragrance disappeared like a fart in the wind. I guess the oils are so good for the skin that the body absorbs the whole thing. Trace amounts of orange left on skin scent
Amyris Homme: great opening mandarin and iris. sweet yet masculine. much nicer than aqua celestia but at same level of sweetness
Gentle Fluidity Silver: Great Opening is very juniper, then dries down to woody/minty/musk similar to aqua universalis but with a mintier brightness.
Oud Satin Mood: sweet piercing floral oud. Opening is feminine. Drydown becomes more masculine. It's muted oud.
Baccarat Rouge: smells like a dentist's office. It's the jasmine and fir. and it switches to cotton candy later. I don't know why women love this, but women are insane.
Aqua Celestia:All aquas smell like laundry detergent. this one is supposed to be 'green'. absolutely not. smells like roses and musk. Sweeter than universalis. delicious tide pods. i'm guessing he was going for clouds during a storm.
Aqua Universalis: Extremely laundry detergent smelling. Very smooth. Musk and citrus drydown. It does smell like 'void' so I guess he did hit the universal smell on the head.


The standouts to me are Amyris Homme, Gentle Fluidity Silver, and Oud Satin Mood with Amyris Homme taking the #1 spot. That said I just spent the last 40 minutes huffing my arms so I guess it's time to kill myself. Thank you for reading my blogpost.

What types of fragrances do you like? What types of fragrances are you looking for? Niche houses are generally know specifically for different things. Montale, for example, are known for their oud. Creed generally makes lighter, more ephemeral scents (so much so that they've slowly been replacing Aventus with essence of air over the years).

>>17572194
Aramis, Eau Sauvage, Jovan/Coty Musk, Grey Flannel, Polo Green, Old Spice, Azzaro Pour Homme, Original Tabac

>>17573209
I like Dior Sauvage EDT, Platinum Egoiste, Allure Homme Sport EDT, Versace Pour Homme.
So I guess citrus,fresh,clean

I like florals aswell

Citruses are notoriously delicate. They're generally the first notes to dissipate in most perfumes. Same goes for freshies. Generally fresh scents don't have longevity in general. If you're looking for Niche freshies, the Blu Mediterraneo line from Acqua di Parma is very good, although they don't last very long. Some individual scents you can try are:

Creed Millesime Imperial: Salty, oceanic, fruity. Smells like you're on a beach, eating fruit. Longevity is light, to put it mildly. This is a recurring problem with many Creeds, barring the heavier ones. That's not to say Creed is a bad house. Another choice from Creed is Green Irish Tweed. This one is fresh in a different way. (Cool Water from Davidoff is a similar scent for 1/10 the price. Try that first if you're not sure)

MFK L'homme A La Rose: This one's mostly floral. It's a very convincing rose scent that's light and fresh to me. The longevity is pretty good. MFK in general has strong longevity.

Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi: From the Blu Mediterraneo line I mentioned earlier. This one I'd say is the standout, although they're all quite good. Fruity and fresh. The longevity is light.

PDM Greenley: This one is green and fruity. Very clean and easy to like. Also it has some sweetness. Longevity is pretty good.

For some that aren't niche:

The entire Acqua di Gio line: Alberto Morillas knows what the fuck he's doing when it comes to freshies. The entire Acuqa di Gio line would be right up your alley if you're looking for a clean, fresh, right out of the shower feel.

Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli: Also done by Alberto Morillas. It's my favorite in the line, and to me it's the freshest of the lot. Currently discontinued, but you can still find it for a fairly reasonable price For more options in the same line, try Glacial Essence, Bvlgari Man Extreme (I think this is discontinued and rare now), and Rain Essence. Acqua Atlantique from Bvlgari is also good, but that one is pretty rare nowadays.

>>17573279
Prada Lunda Rossa Carbon, Dior Eau Savage Parfum, Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche, and Armania ADG Profumo

i really dont get the azzaro chrome shilling. it's in the dictionary inder 5/10

>>17573430
Its a okay frag, it was too nauseatingly soapy for me though

>>17573430
Back in the day it was a bomb perfume, nowadays it got reformulated to a clean freshie rather than the metallic floral it supposedly was at the beginning.
It isn't bad but i cannot go into its scent profile without smelling the original releases, who knows what the fuck they did to it.

>>17572971
The original formula was discontinued in 2017 due to the presence of myrrh IIRC. The current version is myrrh-free and is freely available.

>>17573613
TBQH I actually prefer the 2017 version - it's less linear and closer to the original
