The fragrance flowchart for beginners

Had to pick two fragrances for a two weeks long trip. Decides to choose these two vetivers as it is still a cold spring here. They’re almost polar opposites of each other. Nicolai’s Vetiver is a creamy, floral and Hiram Green is an assertive, smoky-woody with a pleasant sharp citrus twist to it.

Post your SOTDs.

>>17584858
testing pic related, it's actually pretty great for what it is with good longevity and sillage
would be a better fit for me with less sweetness

>>17584880
1740 is great. Try Jovoy Les Jeux Sont Faits if you want a less sweet version of this DNA.

>>17584884
thanks for the suggestion
in the meantime i realized that i have a full bottle of Baraonda (which i love even though it is actually pretty sweet - maybe as it is a cleaner frag?) so this scent profile is already covered for me

>>17584844
None, absolutely none of the left side companies are in my region. No dice big corps for me all day if the arabs don't have a copy.

Also friendly reminder Dior Homme is a great frag but will be considered highly feminine in most of the civilized world. Do not heed the advice of men who like men, they will make you smell like men who like men. Being a back-to-back men's fragrance winner means it will make you smell like a man who likes to give its back to men.

>>17584994
actually, the men who like (old, hairy) men ITT seem to prefer old school stuff like Kouros or Drakkar Noir
not sure if I would trust this general's opinion on what is and isn't gay

Will this help get me chicks?

>>17584994
>>17585002
this is why blue fragrance bros stay winning
fags don't like mass appeal

Fuck it bros I’m just gonna buy some Curve and call it a day. I don’t have the will to learn about smelly water in a bottle.

This is a pure cope from people who couldn't get laid in High School. You were supposed to wear it as a teenager 1-2 decades ago and be getting compliments from girls who steal your hoodies and tell you how amazing their bedsheets have smelled of your cologne after you left. You missed on some core teenage memories and buying this fragrance now when you're a wagie in your 20s/30s won't make up for them.

kouros smells so fucking good jesus
not sure i can pull it off but im gonna keep huffing it at home at least

>>17584844
Did you sample Anna Zworykina, OP? Can you recommend any good lavender/iris/rose/amber-fragrances (or your favourites)?

>>17585045
Tbh my gf said she liked how it smelled at the store so I just picked it up. It isn’t that deep

I'll ask this again in case someone had a brilliant idea since last week, 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

My girlfriend likes and wears Gucci bloom. What is a similar frag to Gucci bloom, only masculine?

>>17584858
They both sound nice. Are there other vetivers that you enjoy? Today I’m wearing vintage polo green. Maybe I’ll wear Guerlain vetiver later in the day

>>17585103
It has Myrrh instead of frankincense and a little bit of leather, but maybe worth a try:
Dries Van Noten - Rock the Myrrh

>>17585103
Au Coeur du desert is exactly what you are looking for

>>17585103
try L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense

>>17585103
>Amouage Interlude
>without vanilla or creaminess
Have you considered cleaning your nose?

>>17584858
>Post your SOTDs.

>>17584880
oh right on, was going to ask about HdP, was thinking about trying a few of their scents out, 1725, 1740 and 1828

>>17585263
this is a great frag tbqh, please check the others out and share the results
fortunately in the EU it is very easy to order decanted niche frag samples (eg. from le secret du marais as mentioned in the previous thread) so i might test more from this house later on

>>17584844
>artisan perfumes are just as expensive as mass market
yeah no thanks

Ralph Lauten Polo, or simply Polo Green as everyone knows it nowadays, is a longstanding classic and was my first experience ever with a woody fragrance. It was also the first for my older brothers as well and that's the issue it faces in the modern fragrance world. It is a great combination of wood, pine and baby powder aromas. Not a hint of sweetness to be found here. It has a very harsh and somewhat offputting opening that is strongly alcoholic. You have to let this dry down to truly appreciate it. That lack of sweetness makes it very versatile. It really is an all weather and all occasion fragrance.

This was a groundbreaker in the 80s when it came along, upending a previous era that was dominated by Paco Rabanne, Old Spice and Brut. Unfortunately, it's not the 80s anymore and the decades since have not been kind to either this fragrance or the fashion line that also bears its name, which was once a groundbreaker as well but is now just fodder for satirical comedy. It has become just as dated as the other colognes whose popularity it once demolished and has ironically joined them as a brethren older person's cologne. The kind you associate with your father or grandfather.

Polo Green has long been surpassed IMHO by far superior and more modern woody fragrances. Bvlgari Wood Essence, Manciera Cedrat Boisee, Maison Margiela By The Fireplace, Issey Miyake Wood and Wood, and Givenchy Gentleman Boisée are just a few that immediately come to mind. Yes, those all have varying touches of sweetness that make them more suitable as unisex fragrances and are nowhere near as masculine as Polo Green. However, that also makes them much more appealing to more people and IMHO far more fun to wear if I'm being honest. Funny as it sounds, there's something a little stuffy and standoffish about Polo Green in today's world. It has ironically become the same standard it upended when it first came along.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT FRAGANCE I WEAR. MY ARMPITS WILL ALWAYS SMELL LIKE SHIT.

I'm so done with this shit. I shower every single fucking day, I use anti-bacterial soap and autistically scrub both of my armpits. I have tried every single deodorant even the so called "medicated" ones. I drink a lot of water and I NEVER eat some heavy food such as onions and spices, I rarely drink soda. I wash my clothes with both detergent and that lavender crap that gets it to smell nice, I dry it up in both machine and sunlight. I go to the gym and try to keep a good work-health balance. None of that matters, my armpits will always smell like I'm a homeless junkie and the smell will mog the most powerful fragance in my drawer. This has been a huge issue for many aspects of my life. Why even keep spending on fragances when I'll just keep smelling like trash

>>17585359
The ordinary glycolic acid. Use a cotton round to apply it to your pits.

Thank me later.

>>17585359
>fixes your problem

>>17585359
I spray rubbing alcohol into my pits after I shower and it kills that shit good.

>>17585145
I'll see if I can find it somewhere to try out, thanks
>>17585146
how similar is it to ADDM?
I found that one to be too dry for my taste, with too much wood and IIRC nutmeg or other such spice in the middle notes, and also not nearly as balsamic as I'd like
>>17585168
I even tried the Or Encens flanker and found that to be too citrusy for my taste, is the Intense one more toned down on that side?
>>17585170
I maintain that there's no vanilla in Interlude, it gets maybe a bit creamy near the end when most of the smoke has subsided, but it's still not creamy overall

>>17585103
Either >>17585146 or Incense Extreme

Are perfumes from mdci any good?
Does any anon know what the performance (invasion barbare,topkapi)

>>17585018
>blue fragrance
Bad performers, and the ones who are decent long runners are filled with gay shit like incense.
>>17585002
>Kouros or Drakkar Noir
You got that wrong, those hairy old men are the ones posting the frags, you are a bottom for assuming otherwise.

>>17585130
>Gucci bloom, only masculine?
Dude...

Left needs L'Erbolario as well.

>>17585340
>Not a hint of sweetness to be found here.
It has been reformulated so many times they can be separated as different fragrances and scent profiles. Old one wasn't sweet, new one is too sweet, almost boozy combined with those spices.
80's to mid-90's one was pretty good.
>surpassed IMHO by far superior and more modern woody fragrances
>By The Fireplace
>Wood and Wood
>Gentleman Boisée
Your opinion is not worth much after such heinous statement even as a fan of GG Boisee. Get a nose, pal
>IMHO far more fun to wear if I'm being honest
You are a faggot if i am quite frank with you. Post vintage or go bust.

>>17585359
Have you considered taking a look at your diet? Dietary choices can have an impact on body odor.

Unrelated question: does anyone here have experience with Acqua di Parma fragrances? I'm thinking of getting a barbershop-esque fragrance, and considering getting colonia club.

>>17585485
testing colonia club as one of the candidates*.

Fuck my luck. 200ml of BdC ended up on my bathroom floor.

>>17585103
Ma Nishtana by Prissana is the god tier of incense fragrances. Also might want to give WienerBlut's Ex Voto a shot.

>>17585230
Musc ravageur

Also, I've been testing Frederic Malle frag this week. Here's my take, be merciful I'm real novice.

Musc ravageur - mostly smelled like sweet spices and vanilla with a dirty background. I don't think of myself as big on vanilla but this was a pleasant ride. The musky woody background balances out a sweetness that is a bit overbearing. Could spray it for a date or a night out, feels like an good crutch to charm someone.

Monsieur - quite impressed with this one, deep, smokey just a touch of tang to engulf a green patchouli. Serious but not boring, very male, drips self confidence.

French lover - my favourite so far. Cedar, and vetiver with some spices and incense, sharp gust of green aromatic bitterness from angeliqua and galbanum. Love the woody smokey accord, really impressed by the herbs combo which feels unique and yet simple. Serious and youthfull, tweed, black wool and a bunch of old books. Might get a bottle.

Vetiver extraordianire - top tang of citrus that makes place to some spices and a woody accord where reigns a clean and dry vetiver. Slight disappointment, too quiet and not lasting enough, somewhat reminescent of the overall feel of good natural soap bar. Won't buy a bottle of a frag that mostly disappear after a few hours.

>>17585518
Soak your underwear on it

>>17585419
i sprayed it just now:
>opening is a citrus blast which lasts only for a few seconds (on my skin at least)
>after that only yuzu remains (from the main Pour Homme DNA) + ofc the main incense and smokey notes you are after
>it's actually a pretty dry frag, even with the yuzu note being there
i don't know Or Encens but based on the notes it's a rose + incense frag with no citrus at all

>>17585419
not the anon you replied to but ACDD is (although very similar to ADDM) imo a step in the right direction for you (less spicy and maybe more balsamic)

>>17585437
They have good fragrances, but Topkapi didn't impress me. I'd suggest Chypre Palatin, Invasion Barbare and L'Homme aux Gants. Chypre Palatin is among the best chypres out there, lasts long and smells really good. Invasion Barbare is an airy lavender and not much else to me, but it's very refreshing. L'Homme aux Gants is vanilla amber of a dna you might have smelled before (e.g. in Carlisle), a bit dirty even, not necessarily new but if you like that type of vanilla amber you could invest your money worse. Ambre Topkapi reminds me a lot of CK Eternity Eau de Parfum in the dry and it just wasn't mindblowing enough for its price point. It's way too safe for the house.
As for performance, Chypre Palatin is a beast on me, but Invasion Barbare isn't, despite many people saying otherwise. L'Homme aux Gants does good, Topkapi doesn't at all.

>>17585359
Use an alum bar and forget about smelly armpits.

>>17585419
It's similar to ADDM but a bit sweeter and denser. More leaning onto the smokey-incense part of it .

>>17585542
Thank you so much. How long does invasion barbare last or l'homme aux gants. I also saw that cuir cavalier is really good. Any thoughts on that?

>>17584845
>>17584847

The 'New' chart is from 2020. Shit needs a Revamp STAT

>>17585551
L'Homme aux Gants lasts long on me, although not as long as Chypre Palatin. Projection is quite good, though. As I've said, Invasion Barbare underperforms on me, but I might test my sample again in the summer. I can't say anything about Cuir Cavalier, as I'm not into leather fragrances and as such haven't tested it.

>>17585560
knock yourself out, anon
nobody is stopping you, revamp them if you want

>>17585230
Seen here: The best of the Encre Noir line. It doesn't have the dirtyness of the original, or the weird opening burn of the Extreme. This one is more light-green. more crisp. easier to wear. easier opening. Everything has been fixed.

>>17584858
Luna Rossa Black, because I felt like it. Just an average day at work.

>>17585010
It smells like carrots to me. Get a sample before you buy.

>>17585583
good to know, thanks

opinions about Chopards Malaki line?
I find Rose a bir too sweet/jammy, but Oud is easily my top 3 frags

What are you general notions about someone when you smell Armani Code?

>>17585609
amber and black incense are not really good. still haven't managed to find a decant of oud

>>17585609
I only know Amber and Oud, and I prefer Amber due to something weird in Oud Malaki.

>>17585610
That they have freshly applied a very popular designer fragrance.

I want to get back into trying new frags but idk what I should try next.
I don't see the point in trying any cold weather scents because they'd get cloying fast wearing them out and about desu

>>17585648
well grab a few 100 citrus freshies with zero performance then. knock yourself out. enjoy the citrus. sometimes they call it bergamot but it will smell like citrus. everything acqua di parma and cartier is fresh as fuck.

>on holiday for a few days
>didn't want to bring a whole bottle so I just blindly grabbed a sample without looking
>reckless drive to my destination at night through tick fog, rain, and hydroplanning
>wake up the next day and shower before heading out
>time to put on the fragrance
>check what I got
>it turns out to be tauer 02
>ok well fuck it
>end up getting a lot of attention and pussy thrown at me for the rest of the day
>would have gotten laid if I wanted to but I didn't want to

Damn I hate to admit it I really do but it seems I was wrong about tauer 02.

>>17585359
Clipper off 90% of the hair first dude. Then Certain Dry or another high concentration aluminum chloride roll on at night to dry everything up. Prolly cant stand it nightly because it is irritating. Aluminum containing daily solid or gel after showering. Yeah you may need to evaluate foods, may even need to try antifungal shampoo like Nizoral for the pits.

>>17585286
Yea I'll probably get them and some others next month. I've got a Persons of Interest sampler on the way and there's a few scents there I'm really interested in trying out.

>>17585730
looks rare

>>17585359
Trim or shave pit hair. Then use Hibiclense when you shower. You can pick it up at just about any drugstore in the US.

>>17584844
Is there any way to easily make gourmand fragrances? Like an easy simple recipe or something?
I'm a latam wagie and everything imported costs like a fourth of my salary and no one here makes those fragrances. I literally just want to smell like vanilla and caramel why is that shit so expensive and hard to find.

>>17585479
Sure thing grandpa

why is it that beach walk is the best summer fragrance

(i am baiting and looking at what people generally think of the replica line - specificially for the summer)

>>17585756
Yea its a small Canadian brand I saw recommended in some comments on a random video. Getting samplers here is a pain with the ridiculous taxes and duties on imports. They have a bunch of tobacco scents which I'm looking forward to trying out.
>A wild wave of bergamot blended with lemon should stir the loins, and it’ll peak with some rugged tobacco and nutmeg, right before sliding into a cedarwood dream.

>spring/summer appropriate
>less than $200

>>17585827
Guerlain. Vetiver

Recommendations?
I have Santal 33, I love how it develops overtime into floral/ woody throughout the day.
Is there anything similar that develops through the day?

For reference, I like powdery, woody, floral scents.

What should I wear to attract Portuguese girls? I'm going to Lisbon to stalk my egirl that ghosted me.

Realized that I really enjoy polo green today and wanted to buy a big bottle in case the Irish moss or something else gets disallowed for whatever reason. Today I realized that I could just use an incognito window on fragrance net and my existing account to get even more cash off the order. Was very surprised.

Anyways, what are you /fa/ggots wearing for a spring scent? My Versace pour Homme won't cut it.

Help Me to Decide
Between Avant garde and Ungaro iii

>>17585949
I almost want to get a bottle of polo green just for the nostalgia, it was the only one my dad had laying around when I was a kid.

>>17584844
cringe OPs as of late
the homoerotic fraggots have better taste

>>17585359
trim your pits and use an aluminum free old spice deodorant to attract virgin girls and homos

>>17585518
noooo it was the parfum too :(

Squid is awesome, It opens up with an inky-salty vibe if you like Encre Noire sport something in that vibe, then it goes into a sweet scent that reminded me or Eros but niche. Hours later it smells creamy like a niche version of Allure extreme.
I will get a bottle.

>>17586112
anything weird about it stays close to the skin so you can enjoy it yourself, meanwhile to everybody else it will smell like cream cheese frosting. after owning it for a while, I wish it was a tad less sweet but I still like it.

For me, It's GITS.

>>17585359

>>17585692
tick fog you say?

>>17585808
I'll wear At the Barber's during summer. Hope that helps.

>>17585913
That shit is disgusting and I hope there is nothing like it.

>>17585916
Malbec Gold, 40 sprays.

>>17585974
I've said it before - Avant Garde. Ungaro III is DEAD. Should be noted that I haven't tested Avant Garde, I only know how dead Ungaro III is.

>>17586230
PRPH is a "good blind buy" (nothing is really a good blind buy) if you like lavender-rich soapy old-school fougeres.
Oud Malaki is a good blind buy if you like e.g. Jazz Club, or sweet tobacco fragrances in general. Specifically JC because they contain something that smells alike.
Grey Flannel is a good blind buy if it helps you get free shipping. I have never smelled it, though.

The note in Green Irish Tweed that make it smell like fresh cucumbers is the Violet leaves right?
What are some Violet Leaves fragrances?

>>17586158
based, i'm enjoying it lately. need to get a full bottle soon.
who's the girl?

>>17586240
I don't get cucumbers from GIT, but if you want cucumbers which makes people think someone mixed a violet leaves note into the frag, get Carven L'Eau Intense.

Recommend me a discovery set for my mom. I bought her the Maison Francis Kurkdjian one, and nothing there blew her mind.

For a reference her favourites that she tried from my collection were Lair du desert moroccain and Midnight oud (she likes it better than interlude), eau ded bavx and carnal flower.

>>17586236
Thx for the reply. Can't buy not blindly cuz no shops with items of interest in the area

Nicolai. Has good floral stuff comparable to Carnal Flower, and a few incense/oud as well as spicy fragrances. It's 12x 1.8 mL, so enough to find something interesting.

What does Molecule 01 smell like?
Having a hard time understanding based on the notes

Im a 21 year old male who will start uni next year. I dress semi formal and take good care of myself. I need a fragrance that I can wear for everyday use., needs to have very good performance (+10hours),sillage and projection should be moderate. I want something unique that will captivate people. My budget is max 300 euro.
My other fragrance that i have and love. Naxos,layton,terre d'hermes,spicebomb le male jpg

>>17586295
>everyday use
> (+10hours)
>My budget is max 300 euro.
Yeah, you're going to need an extrait. Try Montabaco Intensivo.

>>17586301
Does it smell like pure class? I NEED something that people wont hate. Im planning to meet a lot of people so I want to leave the best possible impression on the highest amount of people while being unique ( So no Sauvage)

>>17586303
It's funny how people always come here and ask for the same thing.

>>17586295
here is the top10 male frag list from a "masstige" niche store in my region:
CREED Aventus
AJMAL Amber Wood
Parfums de Marly Layton
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Amyris Homme
XERJOFF Alexandria II
CREED Silver Mountain Water
Initio Parfums Oud For Greatness
Parfums de Marly Percival
AMOUAGE Reflection Man
XERJOFF XJ 1861 Naxos

check these out (the ones you don't already have), most of them fit your budget and use case very well (maybe leave oud for greatness for last as i don't think that is an everyday use frag)

>You got that wrong, those hairy old men are the ones posting the frags
why would hairy old men have tons of clipped gay porn featuring other hairy old men? I think they're most likely bottoms. although I guess they could simply be gay hairy old men who like others that look like them (I think they're called bears?)

Got myself Channel Bleu parfum and just got myself Dior Sauvage parfum.

Do I smell good? Am I a simp? I see myself using both fragrances for years.

>>17586403
Atelier Cologne Musc Impérial. Bitter green fruity musky frag, perfect match for this morning's gloomy weather. Only have a sample, not sure I'd want to wear it every day, but I enjoyed it a lot.

What kind of question is that? If the flankers of two of the most popular crowdpleasers make you insecure about wearing them, you probably won't pull them off.

Escentric 01 is a nice smell but I can't wear it after I realized it's the smell of the fat girl I borrowed pencils from in elementary school.

Maybe sample it? If you are going to invest 300 euros into a fragrance without sampling you'll only end up with regret. Out of all the thousands of fragrances that I have sampled during my time within this hobby, Montabaco Intensivo is definitely in the top 5 when it comes to the intersection of t
1) long lasting
2) all-around wearable (day, year, time, place)
3) relatively neutral (i.e., no oudh-bombs or gourmands)

Wearing it today.

Should have gotten Elixir for Sauvage

Guys
What should I get?
Dior Homme Parfum or Amouage Interlude Black Iris
Price is same. I like both but I feel I dont need 2 heavy winter/special occasions scents.

Also can you suggest summer iris fragrance for me?(100-150$ max)
Givenchy gentleman cologne was good but its discontinued and I didnt have backup bottle:c
Prada leau is not an option. For me its smells 95% like original that I already have

really? I got DHP for like 120$, I thought Amouge was more expensive than that?

If anyone wants to expand their knowledge of fragrances, I definitely recommend getting decants from My Fragrance Samples. They always give some free samples with the orders and I'm pretty sure they're the only decant site that does this. I thought they were just going to give me random cheap stuff, but every order I've had has had stuff that matches what I've ordered (another woody if I ordered a woody, another Chypre if I ordered a Chypre, another Xerjoff if I ordered Xerjoff, etc.). I've been introduced to a lot of cool stuff I didn't know about before because of it. Pic related is one of them.

habit rouge is the 1960s equivalent to dior homme btw

Scored Lomani Intense Black. No it is not a Creed Royal Oud clone but is similar. A bit fresher and sweeter. Also much weaker which really is a good thing as the Creed reeks of RICH CEO PRINTING MONEY ALL DAY BITCH SMELL THAT HOT INCENSE AND WOODY SHIT. Don't get me wrong, love Royal Oud but this is less than 1/10 the price if you can find it. 1 spray Royal = 2-3 Lomani. And Lomani stays several hours to end of the day....it does not devolve into a shitty base vanilla or old lady ancient scent.

how the fuck did they make this smell so good for so cheap?

That doesn't seem like the vintage bottle, bro

>>17587027
That's one butt ugly bottle but how does it smell

>>17587057
Well its a new production but the bottle has looked the same since I was slinging at the perfume counter in1998. Did it have an earlier bottle design?

>>17587103
In the vintage bottles the lettering is in cursive. They changed it to print because zoomers can’t read cursive

>>17587027
because modern versions are eau de cologne i think. i had an EDT that i used from 2000-2018 until it went bad and was great.
>>17587059
one of the best poorfag fragrances you can get. along the lines of pure havane but not as sweet or syrupy. pretty airy and crisp. smells like tobacco, pear and iso e super.

>>17586670
$40 so i can buy my second backup bottle

>>17584844
I like polo black. What would be a good second cologne to have some variety?

just a heads up but macys is having 0.25 oz travel size bottle of sauvage elixir included with any order from the sauvage line right now

actually a pretty good deal tbqh, got a 3.4oz of Sauvage EDP and then have the little baby size of the Elixir for special occasions

>>17587140
Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw, I totally missed that, and now that you mention it I do remember the Davidoff logo being in a scripted cursive back in the day. It also doesnt seem to last as long as I remember it either. It's just barely there at the end of the day.

>>17586241
I think that's Hunter Schafer, proceed with your own research

>>17586828
edp is better

>>17587027
Because production costs of any mainstream fragrance is just around $1-$5.

>>17587407
Nothing wrong with that. It's a classic way to use fragrances, back in the day men would freshen up with cologne

>>17587407
You are autistic for thinking that doing whatever you want at home with your perfume is being autistic

I have a lot of niche stuff that I can only truly enjoy when I'm at home because it's really offensive to people I have around, and also, I can enjoy the scent more if I'm at my home.

Tried Molinard Heliotrope and Poudre Impériale Sous le Manteau(impressive switch to smoky incense in the middle and very good longevity) and now want to explore more of the powdery heliotrope direction. What are your favourites?

What's the appeal? It just makes you smell like you missed your morning shower.

Musc Impérial once again.
I'm changing my mind about it, might cop a bottle. I like how it's fruity but not sweet at all, and the musky drydown is excellent. So far the best of the samples I bought recently. Shame the projection isn't too great.

>>17587407
Shit, I sometimes put a spray on my wrist before bed to enjoy before sleep. Also lets me know how long something will last if it's still there when I wake up.

>>17587741
isn't known for lasting like 4 hours?

>>17587751
Still smell it on my skin 8 hours later but yeah given its performance it needs more sprays and a refresh through the day. I really like how it develops though so that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Have yet to try it in hot weather as well.

Olympic Orchids Night Flyer...I thought it would be crazy good and ordered 10 ml instead of a small sample. Cashmeran soil like in escentic molecule 5 and some sour fermenting fruit goo with wasps all over it, so fucked you cannot tell which fruit it was. Also, hints of medicinal eucalyptus like accord.

>smells like fresh laundry and cum
What did Pierre mean by this?

>>17587763
Tactical soap TMDWU.

>>17587779
Yes it's incredible.

>>17587763
Fougère Gothique might fit the bill. Smells like forest undergrowth and mushrooms with aromatics and dries down into wood and incense. How long the mushroom note hangs around seems different from person to person. I got a sample and didn't smell it at all then tried it the next day and it's almost like the fragrance actively tried to make up for it. Lasts eternally and projects deep into the aether.

Is it ok to spend my last money fo frags?
I feel if I get those 2 it will be end of game. I dont need more. They were in my wishlist for 2 years

How this smell? Been thinking of buying their sample set soon.

I came back recently from a prostitute, this time it was a chubby, not very bright, chubby white blonde girl. Not my best catch, but she was atleast european white and blonde. The chemistry between such girls and me are most in the time the best. Worst experience are with turks, browns etc.
I literally smell now like ass, tobacco, smoke(she smokes cigarettes) and some flowery notes, similar to Secretion Magnifique. Best layered scent ever.

He legitimately made an aromatic fougere and added nasty shit to it for fixative reasons just for the kick out of it but ultimately won the competition, was told days later because he submitted and thought nobody sane would like to wear it so he forgot about it.

Goes in contrast with GIT as he thought it would easily win a competition but lost hard and after coping he was approached by Pimp Creed and offered him a well-tailored italian suit for the formuoli, along with royalties that never came.
After getting shafted he perfected the scent profile and submitted it to Davidoff who wanted something similar, he tweaked spme ingredients for it to be more affordable (100 dollar bottle equivalent nowadays rather than the cheapie 20) and threw GIT into the niche bin only for it to be rediscovered in the mainstream when CW got reformulated to death in the mid-00's.

heads up Encre Noire Sport is the best version of the three. the brown dark-green pine note is smoothed out and there's a brighter green note added in to make it heavy yet accessible. It'll make you smell like you're running in a Canadian forest wherever you go.

>>17586584
Very. The cologne is a specialty lightened, brighter, citrus variant of the original EdT for daytime walks, maybe sports. The Privee is a variant of the EdP that goes exactly the opposite way. Heavier, boozier, woody, nighttime seductive. Both feature the iris note of the gentleman line in different ways.

It just means that they don't have any open bottles right now. Maybe Amouage didn't supply any or they simply didn't crack one open yet.
Anyway, I'd add parfumo.de, there are good sample prices available, depending on what you want. Might require some street cred to buy, though.

>>17589144

Mancera Wind Wood. It has the gasoline accord of Fahrenheit but feels less heavy and a tiny bit sweeter. I like it a lot.

>>17589146
Like I said, probably no open bottles supplied by Amouage. It ain't easy to open the crimped on top part, so unless the house provides something that can be easily opened, the professional sample sellers sometimes simply don't bother. I guess the blind buy audience is more appealing than the sample community.
Parfumo usually has people who bothered to open their bottles.
