YIKEEEERINOOOS

Is good for a 21 year old zoomer? Heard it’s reminiscent of Versace Eau Fraiche, which I like, but with a tea vibe

>>17576089
No. Try Guerlain vetiver anon

I found out that hairy balls mossy fougeres are my passion

twink fem 20y /mu/anon here ,fairly new to fragrances here anons and needing new frags but I don’t know how to navigate scents and brands all too well, Toy boy 2 is my favourite, I love the youthful energy it gives off and that fun smell of bubblegum that matches my personality. Tried fragnatica but the ones simmilar seem too fem or fruity. Any others with simmilar unique energies, maybe some crowd pleasers with reach and longevity? Looking for something Andrgnous but slightly femmine, maybe unique and complimentary too? I should mention I am trying for arthoes and those bisexual lesbians ideally the latter, pic related ;)any recs appreciated ty
For references the perfumes I have tried are :
Le Labo Santal 33 (smelled too dad like)
Le Labo Matcha (I loved this but no reach)
Le Labo Fluer De Orange (Smelt like toilet cleaner with orange)
Le Labo Jasmin (I loved this but too simple and felt lacking in reach and stay)
Comme De Garçon 2
Herme De Terres
Marc Jacob Daisy
Mugler Alien (When i’m feeling grunge)
Le Labo Rose and Bergmotte are my favourites of Le Labo
and Toyboy 2 for how unique it is, but not as androgynous as I’d like.

Miami Blue smelled like if you left a painkiller to dissolve in your mouth after you just had a sip of stale watermelon juice.

Casual use for summer?
As an adult male.

Just fucked that pretty blonde Scandi midwife student. She squirted all over my bed. The smell is glorious but I’m afraid I’m becoming a perv in a French way.

>a more apt adjective neo-rustic would be fitting
Sounds much better in terms of what BI is, because otherwise a rustic/rural fella would only dream about what resins are unless he sold them or smelled them in the church processions.
>>17575497
>What are you thinking?
That was my imagination, i could discuss something to make that work but it was just my idea of Imperial. In my search for a very woody aromatic frag i rarely stumbled upon stuff that looked like it, they are either spice bombs or wood cabins, not a balanced combination. Then again nowadays few dare to do that, a somewhat dead sub-genre as i have not smelled something like Santos de Cartier again barring that i need to check Quorum.

>>17575610
>Executives aren't dumb
Execs are half nepo dudes, half bean counters. They do not know what is going on and in the best of cases try to hide and talk nothing with the workforce.
>you can do whatever the fuck you want
>valuable high quality employee
If you knew how bad shit is you would know the best workers are the ones they put the most pressure and queue. Few people know how to be a boss and leader, that's why the best workers end up as contract mercenaries/outsources for hire and the office grunts try to hide how much they can do to carry on relatively peacefully.
When the boss knows how to value the good workers and reward them for doing good is the moment that place makes an exponential jump above the competition.

Thought?

>>17576169

>Versace The Dreamer
>Joop! Homme
>The newer and screechier Le Male flankers

Real life equivalent?

Are alt fragrances a scam? I'd buy executive but reviews are mixed and I don't know if good reviews are shills

Also what fragrances will give me attention from women 18-20. I tried Azzaro wanted by night and like the smell. Also liked Givenchy pi.

Im between Jean Paul Gaultier Le Parfum VS Paco Rabanne 1 Million.
Help me decide.

Got a 1ml sample of Dior Homme Sport 2021 a while back, and was surprised that it barely skimmed over any citrus and quickly went to incense and amber on my skin. It lasted forever on my clothes, though, and my gf went crazy for it, so when I saw a good deal for a 99% full bottle I snapped it up.
Been wearing it for the last few days now, and I gotta say… the lemony opening is a lot stronger, and the presence of the aldehydes is much, MUCH stronger than the sample would have indicated. I don’t have any experience with the aldehyde note and it’s weird how dominant that part is during the day compared to what the sample was like. Will this die down a little with time?

Smell before you buy retard

Anyone knows what BVLGARY frag is this? my wife wants a full bottle of this but i cant find it.

>>17576306
probably some vintage frag that used real civet/ castoreum/deer musk/ambergris
Secretions is the go-to answer for something that's just gross
Fahrenheit is the go-to answer for gasoline
Guerlain Bois Mysterieux opens with tons of cumin, so that would smell gross at least at first

>>17576453
It's cheap and fun. Like 4711 it's nice to spray this all over yourself after a shower or to freshen up when you use the bath room.

ahhh yes it is, but the EDP flanker.

I get better performance out of LMLP than I get out of the current 1 Million formulation. 1 Mill was from a free sample, though, while LMLP came from my full bottle.

>>17576453
It's less than 10€ and it smells like 4711. Do you know what 4711 smells like? If no, why not?

>>17576459
Got batch code 8201 (Jan 2023) and performance is good on me, similar to my bottle of Egoiste. I hope you tested it somewhere or smelled it at a store.

All you guys shill in here is normalfag shit.

Cool Water was much more widespread in the community than GIT along with a similar premium quality back in the day and i am tired of pretending it was not.
No, Ulric de Varens is not a clone of GIT you dumb zoomer influencers, it's a clone of Cool Water because it was the bigger dog and always was.

>>17576559
I bought a small bottle of CW a couple of years back. I keep saying I'll buy a big 200ml bottle but never get around to it. It's such a comforting, reassuring perfume. Influential to an insane degree and still holds its own. It doesn't feel dated at all and the longevity is really good. There are much better aquatics out there, but none that are as cheap.

>>17576387
idk but yeah, I also got fairly prominent aldehydes when I tried it, which surprised me. I'm not complaining though, makes it much less generic

Fa/ggots, red pill me on goldfield and banks. Any good ones?

>>17576511

>>17576592
You're not fitting in still.

>>17576590
Bohemian Lime - very pleasant and well blended, tropical citruses with vetiver. It's rare to see citrus frags that are so well done and have any lasting power.
Desert Rosewood - Rosewood and patchouli done like a gourmand, can be a bit weird but it's really intresting, not many frags are so rosewood heavy.
Purple Suede - Leather, saude, lavender and a bit of animalics done well.
Pacific rockmoss - underwhelming, so many better marine fragrances out there, and thats without getting into how little does it last and how shit is the projection

Cope grandpa. Try something smooth like BI or Dior homme intense

>>17576648
nope.

>>17576659
I got something smooth for you don't worry

Rec some classic frags for a mid 20s guy? Something masculine and not too sweet or floral, that can be worn in summer. Tobacco, gasoline, leather notes are welcome. I like fahrenheit but my brother wears that everywhere exclusively so I'd like something different.

What's the matter ambroxan boy? Afraid you might smell something?

>>17576067
isnt some of the fragrances listed discontinued, body shops white musk for men is one example. If anyone knows an affordable alternative to white musk for men please tell me as alternatives ive searched for arent as affordable as white musk for men was.

>>17576691
Some are discontinued, but that's basically always the case. As soon as you introduce new fragrances, those will get discontinued, too. The flowchart isn't supposed to be a "must-follow", you can basically test everything higher up in the chain or start with whatever you can find locally first. It's just supposed to be an introduction into common frag themes, as they are also listed in the other chart.

>>17576670
Guerlain heritage
Guerlain vetiver
Caron yatagan

>>17576670
>>17576724
anon i think that guy meant "mid 20s" as his age not "mid 1920s" as his year of birth

>>17576705
Yeah i get that but do you personally know any good body shop fragrances currently? I got some discount cards there id like to redeem.

>>17576731
The stuff I tested at The Body Shop was mostly mid, didn't even write down the names. But then again they weren't out of White Musk at the time and you can still get it online here.

>>17576737
Okay, scratch the last part, it's almost out of stock everywhere.

>>17576728
He asked for classic masculines that can be worn in summer. Not too sweet or floral. Since it’s for summer I’ll add Guerlain eau de Guerlain (my Sotd), guerlain imperiale, and Caron pour un homme. Also that data is retarded. It should be two graphs, one for sex and one for age. They also should add sexual preference, so we can avoid gay Frags like Dior homo

>>17576731
>>17576738
And scratch that, too - White Musk for Men was renamed into "Blue Musk" to avoid confusion with "White Musk" (for women). So spend your gift cards on Blue Musk, I guess.

>>17576728
I like me some old school shit but it has to be pulloffable by a 25yo. Think greaser rather than Sean Connery.
>>17576740
Thanks for the recs, I'll check those out next time I go to a store because looking at the notes I don't get a very clear idea of what these could smell like. And yeah I'm not gay and dior homo doesn't seem like something I'd enjoy.

>>17576745
follow that guy's rec of dior homme 2020, by the way, and dior homme sport as well. both voted less feminine and more balanced on the young/old front. perfect for mid 20s.

>>17576691

oh thy blessed etsy oil smeller, englightened cellar produce connoisseur,
what fragrance has been on your mind recently,
one which really rocked your world and changed your perspective,
spare no details tell us quick!

>>17576783
feel free to start discussion on niche fragrances: what have you been sampling lately?

i just ordered tobacco rose papillon last week, likely to drop an order on le mat for an upcoming wedding soon. still looking for good, spicy roses in the way of poal - everything is just too sweet or smells like arabs (radical rose in particular was a huge disappointment)

if jeremy says a fragrance has manufacturing costs of max. 10$, how come "niche" frags are so pricey? even without economies of scale it should be 20$ max, right? yet instead of stealing market share from the faux-niche the indie perfumers charge as much, if not more than their big industry competitors.

>>17576799
1. Because they can get away with charging that much
2. The expertise costs
3. It's not cheap hiring anons on 4chan to shill your juice like certain houses most certainly so

>>17576573
>There are much better aquatics out there
As good as the original? i doubt it but i think current CW doesn't deserve the 200ml. But obviously subjective, now i am curious what you think is the best, haven't tried ALL of them either so i might shut my mouth. BDC EDP i don't think is better than the OG.
>longevity is really good
Man i don't know about that one, it's a feel-good spray for the house but it gets blown away in a mildly windy day with a decent sun after 1 hour.

this, my time is precious. if houses like Essential Parfums and Beaufort London want my expertise in editing pictures of hairy men, they have to pay up.

I sprayed my Rien sample again today and dam it's so good bros. I don't wanna buy a full bottle though I have too many...

>>17576064
shitty OP and pic

>>17576792
>spicy roses in the way of poal

Is poal still worth buying in 2023?

>>17576838
sorry you can't jack off to it this time

>>17576844
The hell I can't. You will never stop me gooning.

>>17576802
I was getting a bit confused and thinking of Marine fragrances, but Acqua Di Sale feels like the best "beach" scent there's ever been. I love the slightly dirty, earthier side to CW, AdS is like turning that damp seaweedy aspect into a perfume in it's own right.

Interesting about the longevity, but perfumes last ages on me. My girlfriend is really jealous because they last minutes on her.

Maison Francis Kurkjian Men's Discovery Set Rating. Each worn for a full day.

>Aqua Universalis - C
Lemon Pledge. Pretty dull, nice on a warm day but nothing super interesting. Lasts for about 5 hours then gone
>Amyris Homme - A
Beautiful.Warm citrus, with a hint of cream. Signature scent worthy, Full bottle worthy at a discount, as doesn't last too long, 5/6 hours.
>L'Homme a La rose - B
Sharp bright, green rose stem. Wouldn't be able to tell if it was rose without it in the name, but fine all the same 5 hours
>724 - C
Screechy, febreeze linen 4 hours
>Gentle Fluidity Silver - B+
Gin and Tonic that cuts through the hot air. I enjoy a G&T from time to time and this was pleasant enough. 6 hours.
>Gentle Fluidity Gold - B+
Pretty. Dry down reminds me of Tom Ford's Rose Prick for some reason. 6 Hours
>BR540 - D
The rorschach test of frags. Some people smell cotton candy, others smell sweet vanilla. Others smell a dentist office, medical ointment and bandages. I fall into the latter category. Gave me a headache after 4 hours, and had to wash my clothes twice to get the smell out.
>Grand Soir - A
Very nice, a great evening, date night frag. 5 hour longevity

Overall its a fine house. I don't fully get the hype and the prices for what it offers is a bit too much, but some very good gems.

This scent makes me think of car sales managers that are 50+ years old.

>>17576064
Blind buy pic rel? yay or nay

>>17577003
my friend said it smelled like a middle aged taxi driver lmao
I mostly just bought a small bottle because I like the bottle design a lot and it's quite cheap of course

>>17577008
nay. it's a really leather-heavy fragrance that's not for everyone. I actually found it kind of nasty even though I usually like leather perfumes
also, check out Guerlain Cuir Intense. I think it's underrated in this "modern leather" genre that Tuscan Leather has spawned
I still think Dior Homme Parfum mogs all of these, but it's a bit different, more complex and less in your face with the leather

never owned a fragrance before and got this, will women have sex with me now

>>17577008
Nay. I love it and think it's incredible, but you shouldn't buy something that expensive without trying it unless you're prepared to walk around with people thinking you're a tall wallet.

>>17576064
Anons of /frag/, I need some perspective. I am 28 and have not been able to smell since I was 10 years old, and never really considered how I smell beyond using deodorant. I work an office job that requires dress shirts and slacks. It was recommended to me to stop using the old spice sport deodorant that I have been using since 14, and look into more adult fragrances. I understand this in concept, but I am confused about what I should be looking into.
How do I know when a smell is good or fitting to me? Should I switch my antiperspirant as well (Same pure sport fragrance). Any advice on where to begin other than the general materials that I am in the process of reading now?

>>17576843
>Is poal still worth buying in 2023?
unfortunately I have to say no, my latest 100ml (ordered ~2months ago) is diluted garbage. sucks, since its my very favourite fragrance

My ex wore this and now it triggers me to love whatever smells like it.

>>17577129
Damn, I have a 2ml decant from an unknown batch and I love it

>>17577084
I think you can just pick something popular and "office safe" at random. stuff like:
>terre d'hermes
orange, pepper, wood, somewhat earthy. conjures the image of someone classy, masculine, confident and mature but not super old (it's essentially a modernized take on an old school genre)
>dior homme (2020)
similar to TdH, but "younger" smelling. less peppery, less confident, a bit blander but no one will ever dislike this
>bleu de chanel
the "default fragrance" that's almost universally pleasant. a little sporty, a little upscale, probably more casual and younger smelling than something like TdH. smells vaguely like citrus, wood, incense and sweet resins, but in an abstract, synthetic yet pleasant way
>allure homme edition blanche
creamy lemon goes brrrrr. softer and more comforting than the others. can't imagine anyone hating this one too

or you can not wear any fragrance at all if you prefer, no one's going to force you. it's not vital, more like a minor fashion accessory

>>17577084
>>17577153
ah and as for deodorant, hard to go wrong with an unscented one

>>17577049
No anon, you have to work on that still.

>>17577153
>>17577155
Thank you for the advice, anon.

My girl is into fragrances from Rue 21, do I drop her?

>>17577084
I think if I couldn't smell I wouldn't bother wearing perfume. 95% of the pleasure it gives me is catching a sniff of it throughout the day, and the rest is compliments/the ritual of putting it on.

If I were in your shoes I would instead look into a high end deodorant. Something like nuud or AKT. I think you'd be far less prone to overspraying or accidentally wearing something someone doesn't like, and they cost less than perfume.

Most people do not wear perfume outside of deodorant so it wouldn't be odd or anything.

I used to be a huge fan of Hypnotic Poison, but the reformulation gives me a headache.
Is there anything out there similar, other than Cobra by Jeanne Arthes? Should I just go back to New Orleans to get another custom scent?

>>17576689
there's a couple things I really dislike about the name Youth-Dew. Most importantly, rolls off the tongue badly. th-d. I don't like it. Also it conjures up the idea of the sweat of children being collected and bottled for old hags.
And as an addendum to reason #2, there's something a little too direct about the name. It's too explicitly telling the customer that this can help them seem younger, rather than a word or phrase that evokes it indirectly.

can't comment on the actual quality of the scent. never smelled it, and don't know anything about it other than the name.

>>17577262
why not just look for vintage bottles of hypnotic poison?
also, headaches from fragrances are usually autosuggestion
also, post feet

>>17577278
I'm a dude.
You don't get pics of my feet.
I want something cheaper than Hypnotic Poison. I also want to see other scents in the same family/class that could be good.

>>17577292
>wears hypnotic poison
>gets magic headaches from fragrances
>not a woman
my bad, but you've got to admit it was an easy mistake to make
anyway, if you want something else with prominent almonds you could try the L'Homme Ideal line. especially the EDT probably

>>17577263
Yes it's quite camp, that's part of the appeal honestly. There is no greater thrill you can have on the perfume floor of a department store than confidently sauntering up to the Estée Lauder counter and insisting the counter girl retrieve the bottle of youth dew that is hidden away so that you may sample it.

It's an oldschool oriental, very balsamic. It sort of smells like Coca-Cola. Stetson is (hilariously for a scent marketed to men with pictures of tough cowboys and such) very similar. It definitely reminds me of the platonic smell of a grandma.

>>17576971

FK must have fucked with it.

So I bought Creed Aventus at this like fragrance outlet store in a nearby Chicago Outlet mall. The package was not sealed with the normal plastic wrap that typically comes surrounding the box. Did I get scammed? Kind of new to the whole fragrance thing.

>>17577341
Sometimes they might not be wrapped. Does it contain the card and folded letter with the very real history of this prestigious house?

>>17577341
Creed doesn't plastic wrap their fragrances for some reason, it's probably fine

>>17577344
It did come with the card and letter.
>>17577346
Ah, did not know if they typically come sealed. I have bought fragrances before and all of them were sealed with plastic wrap, so was kind of thrown off when this did not have it.

>>17577339
idk, I sampled it 2 months ago and the longevity was fine for 13ish hours on my skin, albeit it became a skinscent very quickly

i've realized why i like the poopypants ouds. when i was a child i'd often visit my grandparents in the country side and we'd have to take streets through fields to get anywhere. the dung was always very pungent and got burned into my memory. smelling stinky oud takes me back to these simpler times

>>17577455

>>17577456
I've been to the Netherlands and Germany and I can confirm that the Netherlands smelled much more like shit.

>>17577296
It is an easy mistake to make. I get it.
Thanks for the tip.
I have the same issue as >>17577145
I loved a woman who wore Hypnotic Poison and now it helps me feel warm and fuzzy when I wear it.
Also, I think maybe my headaches were a hangover, but who knows?

>>17577458
There are different oud types

>>17577084
Why can’t you smell? Also I’d recommend no frag. Wear a frag because you like how it smells. Nothing is universally liked so the safest option is not to wear one at all.

>>17577456
ironically it was the east german countryside

>>17577459
I am refering to the fact that people of german descent be it berliners or niggers from vienna have a keen intrest in scat. 99% of scat porn comes from there. And it has been like that since the dawn of times, you had nobility design their mansions in a way that would allow the lord of the house to sniff the horse manure wafting from stables underneath his room. Many such cases sadly.

I only ever wear YSL La nuit de l’homme and dolce and gabanna the one

I got the most compliments with YSL but I noticed today after walking into work it was quite strung from the heat. What’s the most similar summer fragrance like it?


So far D&G The One got a qt Asian girl to compliment me in front of my gf at an apartment event, and YSL LNDLH got my hairdresser today to compliment me and say how good I smelled even after I said I had a gf. I want to keep up the trend

summer and cardemom usually point out to hermes' voyage, which is an easy grab if you don't want to get too involved

>Also, if I have no price limit should I just blow it on creed?
never, diluted shit (and a sign of laziness/lack of taste), rather go for something like le mat by menditterosa

>>17577625
Why Le Mat? I looked it up and it seems like a tarot meme

>>17577628
it would be an example of a better 'high-end' fragrance alternative, though harder to discover and more complex (just something that came to my mind). in my opinion it is better to stick to certain designer fragrances (chanel in particular) than go for "beginner niche" a la MFK/Creed/Frederic Malle (with a few exceptions).

Is there such a thing as a normie fragance?

>>17577600
Debate and fellate me

>>17576951
Sounds pretty good, i think i've heard or read about it being one of the best, sadly i hate salty frags. CW originally, despite its marketing, was a green frag with calone in it to simulate a seaside garden akin to Normandy with the ozonic touches coupled with the strong oakmoss, not a full-blown beach like the commercials made it out to be in the Mediterranean.
With the green aspects being cut after many reformulations along with the calone Cool Water became a marine scent rather than an aquatic one, very sad.

>but you've got to admit it was an easy mistake to make
Not really when modern perfumery is prone to overuse aromachemicals like Iso E Super, which doesn't smell like anything for many people, or ambroxan which "burns out" when matured and smells like a dark smoky cloud that causes headaches.
Personally that shit that makes gourmands "boozy" makes me nauseous with its overly sweet and stale smell, it happens, that's why the blatant hate for them by some people.

I kind of understand that although i would probably talk to her about that attitude and exchange your need for attention with good treatment IF the attention is what makes her butthurt, but that's a very wild conjecture and women are crazy anyways so cannot go on with any kind of dating advice... although i just did.
You are still a homo for wanting compliments from "men".

The fake Western oud is basically the same chemical they throw into all fragrances. It smells like crayons to me and that is because it lacks the context. All that smells "animalic" has been purged from it, together with anythink skanky in any way. As soon as you smell real oud you realize how many facets have gone missing. However, the downside is that quite a few of them have some unpleasant undertones to them. I'm sure in a good real oud fragrance you can easily mask them, but if you buy small samples of random oud you will get a few poopy ones. I'm not interested in smelling like oud in general, so I never bought a real oud frag, but smelling real oud for the novelty is absolutely worth it.

>>17577511

>>17577922
Do Ombre Nomad or MFK ouds count as real ones?

>>17577929
It goes without saying that "signature fragrance" can be replaced with "favorite fragrance". I certainly have a fragrance I wear more often than others, but I sometimes don't wear it for multiple weeks. I'd call it a signature simply based on the increased consumption, although it's not a daily wear at all.
Also if it isn't discontinued, it got reformulated to death.

I wear Dior Sauvage EDT and Platinum Egoiste

What are some other fragrances you think I might like?

>>17577930
Unlikely, but I can't answer it truthfully, since I haven't smelled them (dodged them as I realized I'm not interested in oud fragrances). They don't claim it on their websites and I'm pretty sure that fragrance with real oud in them will advertise it.

What are some Fresh Green fragrances

>>17577931
If they ever discontinue yatagan I think that'll be the final straw.

Don't waste your money on smelly water, it's a fun hobby but also a luxury and not a necessity. Wait till you get some disposable income.

>>17577774
Shit... I just cop it.

I have like 50 fragrances (mostly niche and a few good designers) and today I have a social meeting with my friends and their girlfriends and I'm pretty inclined to wear something mass appealing and inofensive and you know what the fuck I'm thinking about that I know it will not fail me?

>>17578051
That was almost the first frag I bought. Instead I bought the deodorant on Amazon. It smelled bad so I sent it back after trying it a few times. Mass appealing is something like Caron pour in homme. Not some synthetic Arab mess.

hi, I'm looking for a cold weather daytime frag focused on frankincense, smoke and possibly also coniferous plants, without leather, vanilla, powder, rose or creaminess
I want to give the impression of a laid back and dependable person, though I understand a frag is going to contribute only slightly
frags I've considered or am considering are
>Arso by Profumum Roma
amazing as everything PR but too smokey for my taste
>LAVS by Filippo Sorcinelli
a but too balsamic/nose piercing, and there's something very bitter that I can't quite place and that makes something visceral in me go "no"
>Interlude Man by Amouage
the one I'm considering most strongly, thought I can't smell anything coniferous in here, I f a mano x between this and Enclave existed I'd have bought it already
>Encre Noire à l'extrême by Lalique
sounds like it might be what I'm looking for but I can't find anywhere to try it and I'd like something a fair bit less sour than the original EN, with less iso-e super and a lot less vetiver
>Encens Satin by Armani
very good and realistic, though a bit too soft and much too expensive, especially for a designer frag
>Avignon by CDG
not very realistic, not very smokey and too two-dimensional, with hardly any smoke or conifers
>Zagorsk by CDG
a tad too cold, lots of conifers and not that much frankincense
>Cardinal by Heely
superb catholic church photorealism, though not that much smoke and with sub-par performance compared to the price
>Tiger's Nest by Memo
too two-dimensional, basically only frankincense, and pricier than I'd like
>Ikon by Zirh
nicely funky, I like the ginger which contributes to the nose-piercing, balsamic smell of the incense, though I found it too sweet and not smokey enough

any and all inputs are appreciated

>>17578089
People don't care about you smelling synthetic, they only care about the smell

>the one I'm considering most strongly, thought I can't smell anything coniferous in here, I f a mano x between this and Enclave existed I'd have bought it already

Buy midnight oud , cheaper and arguably better

>>17578120
there's little oud in Inerlude Man, is a frag with oud in the name really an accurate replica?
I would also like to avoid oud as much as possible, and I was under the impression that Supremacy Incense by Afnan was the better replica

>>17578147
It doesn't smell like oud at all, it's 97% percent similar tu interlude and you can find it for 15-20 bucks. Get a small sample if you want and see it by yourself.

I love interlude too, I have a decant of the regular interlude man and the interlude 53 flanker, but after trying this one, I prefer to spend my money in other more unique fragrances

I am in love with eau sauvage edt lemon rosmarine candy opening. But citrus part lasts only 1,5 hours on me. Not a fan of drydown but atleast I dont hate it.
Can you suggest me longer lasting alternative?
I want atleast 3 hours of that gorgeous citrus candy.

it's not that it's bad, it's that there's apparently nothing that justifies buying it when you can get high quality niche frags from reputable brands at half the price
it's also not that normies don't know it, it's that even on autist filled forums about frags there's hardly any mention of it, which is all the more reason to believe it's not worth the price

Dated hippy garbage

The opulent opening notes of this olfactory opus are an arresting fusion of citrusy bergamot and zesty cardamom, which interplay with a sophisticated sensuality. This initial burst of freshness soon mellows into a heart that exudes warmth and depth, as the heady and aromatic nuances of lavender entwine with the rich and alluring tones of leather. The symphony crescendos into a grand finale with the base notes of vanilla and oriental amber, which lend a luscious sweetness that lingers on the skin, enveloping the wearer in an aura of irresistible magnetism.

But it is not just the composition that merits praise, for the performance of this fragrance is nothing short of extraordinary. With its Eau de Parfum concentration, Le Male Le Parfum exudes exceptional longevity, effortlessly accompanying the wearer throughout the day and into the night with its tenacious sillage. Its projection is commanding but never overbearing, evoking an air of refined elegance that leaves an indelible impression in any social setting.

The bottle design is a veritable work of art, befitting the avant-garde aesthetic that Jean Paul Gaultier is renowned for. Encased in a sculptural, masculine silhouette, the striking glass vessel is adorned with the iconic striped sailor shirt motif, an emblematic nod to Gaultier's rebellious spirit and unique style. It is a true collector's item that adds a touch of sophistication to any fragrance collection.

In conclusion, Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Le Parfum Eau de Parfum Intense Spray for Men is a masterpiece of perfumery that bespeaks of opulence, artistry, and refinement. Its complex and captivating composition, unparalleled performance, and exquisite bottle design make it a true olfactory gem that is sure to elevate the senses and garner compliments wherever it is worn. An olfactory opus that is truly worthy of the discerning connoisseurs of fragrance.

G*psy is a slur. Opre Roma!

Brands update, re-brand and reformulate all the time for many reasons. I don't think it would be out of reach for Byredo to simply rename this one. If this is a good scent, I'd never know, because I'm not going to touch it with a ten foot pole. G*psy is not my word to use, and I won't wear a frag whose name I wouldn't speak aloud. It doesn't mean free spirit, it doesn't mean wanderer, it's a slur used against a marginalized group.

I know this doesn't bother a lot of people, but whether we like it or not, our spending speaks for us. I hope people aren't buying this stuff because they explicitly don't care about the oppression and genocide of Romani and traveling folks. And if they aren't, maybe they shouldn't be buying it at all.

>>17578456
Idk i went to try it saturday together with Tom ford Noire extreme and grey vetiver.
I barely could smell it on my skin and after 4 hours it was gone. Tom ford on the other hand (pun intended) stayed a few hours more.

>>17578151
have you had the chance to compare it with Supremacy Incense and/or Swiss Arabian?

>>17576459
at first, I thought it was kinda weak but it definitely opens ups. I'd say it's fairly beast but I can't compare it to old batches. in and of itself, it's good. I would recommend it.

>>17578610
Nope, this is the only interlude clone I tried

For reference, yesterday I wore one spray of interlude in one wrist and another of midnight out on the other and I kept catching sniffes all shift. If I was putting my nose close to the wrist, interlude was more complex and richer, but on the air are almost indistinguishable.

Also longevity wise, I could still smell midnight oud on skin today, more than 15+ hours after I applied it, which wasn't the case for interlude.

In any case if I had unlimited money I would go for interlude , but for the price of interlude I would buy almost two liters of midnight oud , and that's a really unreasonable waste of money .try to get a sample and decide

What i'm in for?

>>17578619
if dark sea is anything to go by, you are in for a fantastic marine scent with unexpected depth and borderline obnoxious projection

>>17576459
the performance is not beastmode, but pretty good
I wouldn't look at if it's EDT or not, that doesn't really matter nowadays
don't blind buy it though, unless you really love something similar

>>17578621
Sounds promising. How's dark sea? Parfumo & Fragrantica describe it in the same vein like Aqua di Sale

>>17578624
maybe a bit? but it's much darker, has a ton more heft and depth to it, lots of ambergris can get even savoury at times. Defintly the heaviest scent that is marine first and foremost.

I've been visiting /frag/ for only three years just about, so to give you the benefit of the doubt I searched for "fragrance engineers" on an /fa/ archive
lo and behold, the post I'm replying to is the only one in which the two words appear
then I searched for "shorab" and 8 posts about the frag appeared, 7 of which have been clearly written by you
I did the same thing on basenotes and the results were much the same
you're the only one who talks about it anon, and you're apparently desperate to make the brand that sells 50ml of juice for $175 through shopify look well established
>a sample costs $3
plus shipping plus tax, reaching a grand total of about €25,40
for 2ml of juice, 50ml of which cost $175 plus shipping plus tax
I don't know what to tell you if this sounds reasonable to you all things considered
>products are shipped from the US
they're clearly not, shipping a sample to the US, Italy, Germany or India costs $20 while shipping to anywhere in Thailand costs $3

but yes you're right about the shipping it's not from the US, my bad. point and laugh at me if you want
>7 of which have been clearly written by you
I did the same thing on basenotes and the results were much the same
hate to disappoint but it's only 6 and i don't have a basenotes account. but if you want to go that route, sohrab has more reviews on parfumo than some ELDO fragrances, does that make ELDO a shitty brand?
>if this sounds reasonable to you all things considered
not really but i'll tell you what's reasonable: checking parfumo and buying from a sharing that's "only" 5€/ml. sure that's still expensive, but how much have you spent on all the incense fragrance samples until now? if you're european you can just sell it for the same price again because it's rare here.
i dislike ripoff prices and most of my collection are cheapies but when a fragrance is so good that it makes every other fragrance in the same genre obsolete, then it's worth it. the same is the case with zoologist's t-rex. if you have that you won't have to look into any other smoke fragrances, it won't get any better than that.
and for clarity i don't care about the brand nor any other of their perfumers, nor have i smelled their other offerings. but if you disregard an entire brand solely because "they don't have a lot of reviews" then you're missing a big part of what niche is supposed to be, i mean it's in the name.

>>17578000
anyone? i know there's at least one person who owns murkwood. this stuff is oilier than dua shit

Anyone has any experience will cool water intense? How different is it from the EDT. Also I thought fahrenheit is a winter frag, why does this anon associate it to miami vice? Is he thinking of aqua fahrenheit?

What are your favourites from L'Artisan? Can you describe them briefly, please.
Also wtf are ppl thinking when they are listing shit like this?

Why is encre noire so freaking weak? I was expecting intense vetiver even if the longevity wasn't there. But no all I get is a really get is a super soft skin scent that I can barely detect on the initial sprays. Like yeah I get the vetiver but holy crap is it weak. It's a 2022 batch but reviews say that it's been that way for years so why is there any hype for this? It's not even EDT level strength it's EDC at best. I don't understand the "value" in this when I have to spray so much of it to get a few hours of performance. Should I have gotten encre noire extreme? I've had way better cheapies than this.

>>17578740
Cool Water Intense is forgettable, it's a Invictus dupe. Also all the newer releases.

>>17578758
So I should stick with the edt?

>>17578757
>Why is encre noire so freaking weak?
Because you're a poorfag. Just by the similar more refined Sycomore.

>>17577774
You all hate Sauvage because it's throws the reality of the world in your face every time you smell it.
Sauvage isn't brilliant, it isn't exceptional, it isn't magical. It simply well put together, friendly, out going, doesn't quit and manages to fit in without changing in almost every situation. And that is more than good enough because the overwhelming majority of people love it. And this is documented time and time again,video after video and post after post. People love Sauvage.
Sauvage as a fragrance is what you wish you could be as a person, but aren't. Instead you'll sit around circle jerking the rare ingredients and exotic creations, lauding each other for your superior taste, looking down on the plebs who shower Sauvage with compliments. Why don't they compliment you? Isn't it obvious how much better your fragrance is? It's niche for gods sakes!
Nevermind that you don't actually understand what niche even means.
So you'll post and post, seething and pretending to laugh at your own wit each time you meme about Bois Imperial. But one black day you'll crack and do the unthinkable: You'll buy Sauvage. You won't post about it here of course, my god why would you? You have a completely anonymous reputation to protect! You'll spray it on and part of you will be ashamed and feeling transgressive, but a small sliver of you will feel hopeful for a change. Maybe, just maybe, today I'll be noticed. Today I'll get a compliment. I just want to feel what it's like one time, everyone else loves this stuff, surely there's one compliment left for me?
I genuinely pity you when you still won't get a compliment and are forced to confront the reality that even a jovial titan like Sauvage cannot mask how rotten, desolate and unappealing you are.

So keep shitting on Sauvage, spray your niche of the month or whatever arab oil is getting hawker now. Much like a tranny pretends to be a woman you are equally delusional in your claims of superiority. Cope and seethe.

Didn't read but Sauvage smells like Axe lole

>>17579048
not reading all of that F- try better

Anyone has any opinions on this? I can get it less than half of the price , but blidn buying isn't my thing

>>17579048
Fragrance is about appreciation of an artform and terrorising normies. You have a lot of growing up to do.

Niche niggers on suicide watch at this post

>>17579048
It’s not that I think sauvage sucks, it’s that I don’t want to smell like her dad, and her ex and her co worker and the guy who hit on her while at the grocery store and her boss, because that is who you smell like when you wear sauvage, like almost every single man who wears cologne.

>>17579222
Who's "her" schizo?

>>17579222
Cum also smells and tastes the same from person to person, and I doubt she will think about her ex when she eventually swallows yours retard

Guess the frag lol.

>>17579421
>inhuman and post-life
wtf, what is that supposed to mean

>>17579448
>his frags are human and pre-life
ngmi

>>17579448
And that's just after the "some reviews are overly pretentious" statement lol.

>>17579421

Not an american but i get what you are saying, i am in my last 100 dollars but in american that would be like being on my last 2000 dollars, is not much but i can live for a few months if i go tight about it taking into consideration i have accumulated goods and rent paid already.
Cooking and public transportation is the biggest money savings galore nowadays.

>>17579497
>literal paid shill
keep on it.

>>17578740
>why does this anon associate it to miami vice?
Florida people/heatchads don't know what a winter frag is, they know about non-A.C./daytime frags (freshies) and A.C./nighttime frags (nighttime/office). Also in consideration back then all frags were by default heavy performers or "beasts" like nowadays influencers have gaslighten us, a single spray of Fahrenheit could last 5 hours and project moderately which was enough to go walking.
Now imagine nighttime around december with cold 25 degrees C in a fancy club bar, that's Fahrenheit
>aqua fahrenheit
RIP but that was released until 2011 i believe. Fucking dumb for having discontinued that.

I work in an office building right above Macys. Want to buy a new cologne. Suggest me one and I will post the purchase at about 1pm CT. Do not care how expensive

>>17578740
Cool Water Intense has nothing to do with Cool Water. If you want Cool Water, stay far away from it. It's a stronger, more citrus-y and slightly coconutty version of Laura Biagotti Roma Uomo from the same perfumer. Performance is good and most complaints are something about the "synthetic smell" during the opening, which comes from real mandarin orange oil (we have reached the point where the real materials smell synthetic to people). If you want something powdery, sweet and somewhat fresh fragrance, feel free to try it. If you want CW, as already mentioned, stay away. (It also has nothing to do with Invictus)

>>17578807
Your chance to wear the rankest barnyard oud in public, or 40 sprays of Kouros.

>>17579048
Based copypasta. Another (You) so more people read and internalize it.

Jokes on you because she fucked all of them.

>>17579518
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Luna Rossa Black

>Luna Rossa Black
is that the one with the highest concentration?

I mean if you read what some anons have said in this board and what some girls say when they mention pineapple i think you are in the wrong here

>>17579530
Acting like you don't have first hand experience

>>17578030
Do any of these smell like fresh cut grass? Like, do any of these have that early of the morning green freshness?

>>17579526
nah that one can't be found at macy's. luna rossa black can be.

>>17579546
Well I guess what I'm asking is should I buy the parfum or the EDP

>>17579548
there's only one luna rossa black

>>17579559
oh ok

>>17579559
Would you say that the Luna Rossa Black is better than YSL La Nuit de l'Homme

>>17579566
Perhaps you should sniff them at the store and figure out which one you like better

>>17579421
I really hope it's not something Beaufort London otherwise I have to stop wearing mine.

>>17579525
>>17579518
Within the span of a week I've bought:

Prada Luna Rossa Black
Azzaro Most Wanted Parfum (My favorite one so far of the new stuff I've bought)
Creed Aventus
Givenchy Gentleman EDP (I bought this online without sampling it first and this is a scent that is hard for me to enjoy. Guess I deserve it.)
Tom Ford Ombre Leather (My co-worker told me this was very fem)
Valentino Uomo Intense
Givenchy Gentleman Society

How basic am I? I just got into the whole fragrance thing. I already owned

YSL Y Le Parfum
Armani Code Parfum
Dior Homme EDT
Some Louis Vuitton I got as a gift, Idk the one.

Dior Sauvage Elixir. Based of Cringe?

>>17579618
very basic, you should buy Dior Sauvage EDT for peak basic tho
>not bad frags at all, just not very exciting

>>17579632
>scent: most probably based (i should test it but i'm simply not interested enough)
>review: peak cringe

All the grey market guerlains are gone. I was buying 200ml bottles of vetiver for 40 and 100ml vintage bottles of habit rouge edc for 50. At least I don’t feel so stupid for buying so many bottles now

>>17579464
Yes.

>>17579618
one hint that you cannot yet understand about this hobby but you will hopefully appreciate: slow down

those bottles will last you for ages, and just as your taste changes rapidly (at least i hope so) in whatever you do, these bottles will be far beyond what you'd like to wear before you have a 5ml dent in them. i'm speaking out of experience as the designer fragrances that i bought very early haven't seen sunlight in years

that being said: what you have bought is ok, very basic

>>17579760
Yes, thank you for the pointer. Of the ones I listed, which occasions should they be used on, or is that generally not really considered?

>>17579795
You could wear them to the shop to buy some actually good perfume like aramis, mitsuoko or Gucci rush

Do you guys have any rare/niche frags at all? All you post is boring shit.

>>17579832
I have Dior Homme Parfum and a decant of Kaszebsczi Mech

>>17579795
Use your own discretion.

>>17579832
Vintage bottles of classic Caron masculines and classic feminine and masculine Guerlain. Vintage bottles of Davidoff and Dior Fahrenheit. Also have oud and deer musk attars

>>17579832
I have multiple JMP exclusives

>>17579832
i guess some temporary offering from barrister and mann is rare, especially in europe. as far as decants go an ensar oud and guerlain xi'an which is only sold there. i've also tested a fragrance made by a guy on parfumo but he's been MIA for 6 years now. fuck me because that scent was incredible and i want a bottle

I'm confused by the differences between YSL L'
Homme, La Nuit de l'Homme, and La Nuit de L'Homme Bleu Électrique. Can someone explain these or break them down for me?

>>17579832
I have Baraonda but it's not that rare. It is niche, though.

>>17579832
Mostly somewhat expensive shit that makes people upset because it ain't real niche (but it smells good), and L'Air du Desert Marocain, Memoirs of a Trespasser, New York Intense.
Other than that, some designers, lots of samples.

>>17579881
do you have a nose, anon?

>>17579832
Only naxos xerjoff. Other frags are designer. I am planning to buy MFK grand soir and montale arabian tonka

>>17579993
Do you also buy your grocery's with food stamps?

>>17579632
>Pakistanstar
Checks out

>>17579995
No? I have never used food stamps.
What makes you say that?

i'm too lazy to make a new one

>>17577049
Nautica Voyage smells nice but is friendzone fragrance by excellence

>>17577624
Based
>>17577968
Nice

>>17579832
I have a lot of weird vintage samples, full bottles I have Moth and Fox in the Flowerbed but that's it as far as niche goes. I also have a ton of weird indie rollerballs and basement concoctions, those are fun too. It does bother me how much of the discussion boils down to "will X fragrance get me laid" which of course not
