The new Fragrance Groups 101 chart

>>17589557
The fragrance flowchart for beginners.

Uuuum, bros?

>>17589568
Is it good?

>>17589432
i'm 23. been using the tabac after shave since i first started wet shaving because it's so readily available. my grandfather always used it too so it brings back a lot of memories every time i smell it.
as for the cologne i just got it a few days ago, no compliments yet but i dont get them often in general. it's so cheap i douse myself after a shower and at home, doesn't feel like a waste at 11€/300ml.
i fucking love this scent so much its unreal

>>17589573
I hope so. AdG Pour Homme Parfum sucked creampied ass

>>17589561
>2020
>New
Are all fragrance threads outdated?

>>17589558
>t-rex
Yea this is one that I was interested in smelling, the scent of a charred T-Rex corpse I guess? Squid, Rhinoceros, Beaver and maybe a couple others as well.

Any fragrances that smell like tiger balm?

>>17589610
Nishane Unutamam

>>17589607
it's the best smoke fragrance period. i also get a faint smell of carcass. really want to get a full bottle but damn that pricetag... it's also the only fragrance where someone told me it doesn't suit me.
the reformulated bat was really underwhelming.

>>17589613
Doesnt have camphor and menthol like tiger balm
People say esprit du tigre but its expensive and cant seem to find it anywhere anymore

Ok. Kenzo EDP. not paid, not sponsored, just the best men's cologne for me, right now.

>>17589557
dior fahrenheit is for men with huge penises who like ta fuck girls

cop or nah bros?

>>17589641
"No."

>>17589641
no clue if thats the price you can get on it, but it's really good summer scent.

>>17589619
buy a travel spray, costs 60 bucks but will most probably last you a lifetime

>>17589600
Everytime something is updated or changed in any minor way it causes a shitstorm in this general.
You want to put in the effort to update the charts and then have everyone hate you for it, be my guest.
It's not worth the aggravation.

>>17589635
Havent worn L’HOMME INFINIMENT in a while, BI and the Kenzo twins have been taking up all my wear time. I should change that, I’ve got a vintage from 1998 that smells godly

>>17589610
Lorenzo Villoresi Piper Nigrum

>>17589568
>>17589573
Without a doubt it will suck and be composed from whatever L'Oreal could get their hands on for cheap right now. All their new releases have been uninspired and similar as fuck. Just tested Azzaro Wanted Eau de Parfum, released this year, and it was basically the clary sage note from YSL Y, but with sugar on top. Felt like a two note fragrance, although it actually lists 3 (lmao). They will discontinue the already diluted AdG Profumo and probably Profondo or Profondo Lights as well, and you will get boring shit in return.

>>17589600
Feel free to update the charts. But please don't put anything in there that will get discontinued within the next year. Good fucking luck.

>>17589641
Only if you like it and can afford it. Simple as. If it's a blind buy, just fuck off already.

damn this one smells great

>>17589641
It's a pretty safe buy for a warm weather scent.
It isn't life changing or signature scent worthy by any means, but it's good for what it is.

SOTD: Guerlain Homme edp.
What are you guys wearing on this fine day?

>>17589715
unironicly kenzo homme edp, visited my mom, she commented how she doesn't like the perfume I am wearing, did not expect it to lack appeal towards normies frankly.

>>17589665
where do they sell that in europe?
>>17589710
how about some more details?

>>17589722
It's difficult to predict what others will like or dislike. It would be nice if there was a magic bullet frag that everyone liked, but if there is I haven't found it yet

>>17589715
After gym, Jil Sander Sun Men, because it was a really nice day today. It has already faded almost completely. Can't get 3 hours out of this shit.

>>17589735
ye, I was just a bit surprised I expected to be quite inoffensive. I still like it though, quite happy with how it smells and performs, hopefully it works in super hot weather as well.

>>17589732
>how about some more details?
I'm not great at picking apart scent details, but it's a really smooth and sweet tobacco/vanilla. Havana Conference and Sex & Cigarettes are both really boozy in comparison, but still good. Tabac Noir is less sweet and fruity smelling than Mancera's Red Tobacco. Man this is really nice, I'll probably get a full bottle of at least this one.

>>17589635
Dior Fahrenheit is a dated floral fragrance for gay grandpas

>>17589715
How do you like this one? I have the edt and leau boisse flankers

>>17589832
this
my mom worked cosmetics in the late 80s and said the only people who bought Fahrenheit were "fags." her words.

>>17589832
>>17589635
Newbie here. I haven't tried Fahrenheit, bur I've heard it's very 'twee'. Like old books, patched elbow vibes.

I was thinking of getting a sample but I was wanting to get something along those lines.

>>17589870
I have a patched elbow flannel. For those days I like to wear Guerlain heritage. I like to wear Fahrenheit with a social outdoor vibe.

Best of Acqua di Parma? Getting some samples

>>17589870
fahrenheit is very intense and sharp and isnt for sissies who read old books. if youre not wearing all black and ripped, you wont pull it off

>>17589855

I'm in the market for a rose fragrance. My favourite so far is Rose of No Man's Land but the longevity is dogshit. Does anyone know of a frag that smells similar but lasts longer?

>>17589652
>>17589660
>>17589708
>>17589711
thanks bros, I ended up passing on it

>>17589855
What did manly men who slept with her during working hours buy?

>>17589890
>>17589904
Any recs I should look into? I'm just looking for something that feels like that tweed wearing English professor that college girls want to fuck

>>17590096
You already made this post and we already told you

lol

>>17589732
they have all stores listed on their website
the niche store in my country would do an order for me from Zoologist if I asked them nicely (to avoid the hassle of importing it myself)
Zoologist also ships to Europe if I'm not mistaken but it might take a while and some hassle with duties

>>17590096
Aramis all the way

>>17589708
>They will discontinue the already diluted AdG Profumo and probably Profondo or Profondo Lights as well, and you will get boring shit in return.
That's sad anon. I remember when Acqua di gio was cool in the 90s, all the chads wore it back then and it was expensive.
Now it's a diluted incel scent, you smell on every corner.

>>17589977
Go to a store and test it once it hits the shelves everywhere. I'm gonna do that in a couple of weeks, because I'm interested in how hard they mangled AdG.

Is ormondo jayne man any good?
Its their signature line so im worried that other people will use it too.

>>17590290
If you want something nobody else uses, why are you looking for "good"? You want "bad". Get the most rancid shit you can find, wear 40 sprays, enjoy being the only person who wears it. Good fragrances are obviously used by more people than bad fragrances.

>>17590290
No, but also because i'm in search for piney fragrances. Ormonde Jane man didn't fill the gap for me. Longevity also is homo ass. Never tried the 50% oil variantion.

>>17589904
Lol. It's a wet violet turning into a rather soft leather. You'd expect Toy boy to smell something like that with all the gay imagery used.
People say ombre leather is masculine as well, but there's loads of jasmine in it making it unisex, almost fem leaning to me.

>>17590180
And which frags were they?
>>17590261
This could work too. But heritage works well with patched elbow academia look

>>17590324
you don't associate dirty jasmin with male perfumes? I find that animalic jasmine can be pretty masculine leaning

>>17590353
Masculine for gay men at the ymca

>>17589855
Checked and based

is this really as good as people say?
blind buy safe?

>>17589557
So at which point do we address that the file name talks about Platinum Egoiste, while the bottle clearly shows Egoiste?

>>17590371
Do you like chypres?

>>17590371
it's good, but has really bad performance
I wouldn't blind buy unless you know you like classic citrus chypres like Chanel Pour Monsieur or Cerruti 1881

is Rasasi fattan any good?

>>17590391
if you are trying to seduce camel they sure are ahmud.

>>17590353
What would that be? Bogue Maai?

Do you guys do anything for sweaty armpits? Or do you just spray fragrance normally and control the natural pit smell output by just showering once a day?

>>17590257
none of the official stockists has the travel spray. but it'd probs be cheaper to buy a full bottle and sell decants anyway

>>17590505
Antiperspirant.

Memo Paris Discovery Kit review

>Inle - A
Soft delicate white floral with a roundness of a white tea. Quite feminine, but pleasing all the same. Not at all overwhelming.
>Lalibela - B
Powdery coconut rose, is interesting but can become really loud and sweet.
>Marfa - A
I wish I could pull this off. Its a white floral, almost dusty orange. Marfa, Texas is known for having odd lights in the sky. There is a certain mystery to this one, I think a certain person could pull this off.
>French Leather - B+
Limey, rose. Like the inside of a very expensive leather purse. Pleasant, but rose isn't really my thing.
>Iberian Leather - C
Okay, I get it, but I don't like it. It's like a more tame version of Zoologist T-Rex that I had tried a few months ago, the only thing missing is the blood accord. But it is massive, too much for me.
>Irish Leather - A-
Salty, fresh windswept earth. Lives up to its name for sure. The saltiness can get a bit too much for some peoples liking but on a warmish day with rain it was lovely.
>African Leather - A+
Incredible. Its sweet, spicy, and aromatic at the same time without being too cloying. This is what I imagine Janelle Monae smells like.

Overall: B+, really interesting frags. Irish and African are the only ones I'd consider a full bottle worthy, at least for myself.

Any recommendations for any other discovery sets?

>>17589557
Thoughts on pic rel? Been looking for a fresh fragrance and this caught my eye. Other contenders are DG Light Blue and Nautica. Any advice?

Why do some people hype up replica so much? I got the tester pack and they all smell like absolute shit (especially jazz club) aside from maybe bubble bath, but that one works better as an air freshener. Price is expensive as hell and they last like 2 hours.

>>17590656
Same experience, bro, I kinda liked Coffee break, Sailing day(gone in 15 minutes though) and By the fireplace wasn't that bad. Autumn vibes has lasted quite a while on me, but I didn't feel like I like it. In total very memey like a generic low tier designer fragrance, sampling this after ELDO discovery set was soul fucking crashing and I can't imagine paying niche price for something like this.

>>17590656
>>17590674

The impression I got from the discovery set is that they would all smell good as candles but that I wouldn't want to wear them as perfume.

Thoughts on Chanel de Bleu?

>>17590674
>Autumn vibes
Literally smells like mud. I mean kudos to them for capturing the wet leaf smell but who the hell would want to smell like that. Also yeah, coffee break was pretty nice.
Shame, I liked the bottles and was looking forward to splurging on something new. Maybe matcha meditations is good but my experience with them has definitely started off badly

>>17590682
imo smells like a less in your face, expensive as hell version of vesace eros. Also everyone and their mother has it so you wont stand out

>>17590682
Parfum is god tier

>>17590650
ELDO pack of 20 is an amazing deal
Diptyque travel set of 10x7.5ml is majestic I only disliked 34 Saint G..something and eau Rose is nice green rose, but I cannot sense it after 10 min even if bathe in it.
Escentric molecules if you feel like wasting money to know how each chemical smells like and sell it on ebay after (Escentrics 4 and 5 are decent though).
I want to buy now Serge Lutens 8x4ml since I fucking love Ambre Sultans and just full bottled Le Participe Passé, but it omits a lot of the stuff everybody jerks off too like Chergui, Santal Majescule, Fille en Aiguilles etc, so I ordered these from decant shops and will decide if I want to keep going after they arrive. Also, considering Floraiku.

>>17590690
parfum is literal junk when you compare it to anything above 7/10. it smells synthetic, nothing smells even close to natural in it. you can find a better citrus, or sandalwood for less money.

>>17590656
They have regular designer pricing over here. I bought At the Barber's.

>>17590682
Best office fragrance there is. Smells like the office already smells like, though.

>>17590713
Like what?

>>17590713
wrong

>>17590729
>Best office fragrance there is.
No. YSL Y

>>17590749
Only smelled EDP but that’s a fucking Eros-tier high schooler clubbing fragrance, do not wear to the office

>>17590682
NPC fragrance, but it's not bad. best blue fragrance out there definitely

>>17590752
>Eros-tier high schooler clubbing fragrance
What are you on about. Eros is an in your face sweetness bomb. YSL is way more elegant

>>17590761
They’re not similar smells but it’s nuclear jolly rancher shower gel, far from elegant lmao

>>17590285
>mangled adg profumo
kek, I totally where you're coming from anon
my expectations are high just because it's alberto morillas

I just got the following samples:
1. Givenchy gentleman
2. YSL kouros (apparently discontinued so I hope I don’t like it that much)
3. Madison Margiela replica sailing day
4. Dior homme 2022
5. CDG incense avignon

What do you think bros? I currently just have polo black, and I like it, but these threads memed me into wanting to try something new

>>17590674
Sailing day alternatives that last longer?

>>17590371
it smells something a grandfather would wear, so not a safe blind buy especially if you are 20 years and under

>>17589715
Tom Ford japon noir layered with paradis de sens arcadia

>>17590818
Kouros is still available outside the US and likely coming back and there are always people looking to get rid of their almost full bottle because they're noselets who got filtered, so no worries. As far as smell goes it's one of the most insane scents I've ever smelled, as in I catch a whiff and I can't help but go, "holy shit". It's great, I think you'll like it.
Givenchy Gentleman was disgustingly sweet to me with a long vanilla drydown, if you aren't too into vanilla you won't like it, but it isn't bad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og3S8R74Q7w

What fragrance would she wear?

>>17590818
It sounds like you haven’t tried them yet. What do YOU think, anon?

There’s a little table in front of a church around the corner where people leave things for the homeless, canned goods, toys, clothes etc. I made the impulsive decision to drop off some cheapies I blind bought and haven’t been wearing, along with a note. Horizon by Davidoff, and Passenger by ST Dupont. Some older gentleman vagrant is gonna be mogging the shit out of his tentmates.

>>17590898
I haven’t gotten them yet fren, stay tuned

>>17590656
>Price is expensive as hell and they last like 2 hours.
got 130ml of jazz club for 40€, skill issue

>>17589610
Memo Paris Winter Palace, smells like red tiger balm

Best Arab clone bangers from Lattafa, Maison Alhambra, Al haramain etc. Go


I'll start Lattafa asad = door sausage elixir

>>17590705
is the ELDO set really that good? ive sampled some perfumes in shops but nothing has really made me want to buy it. i want something weirder and most things smell synthetic and disappointing to me.

also is the essential parfums discovery set worth it or am i falling for a meme.

>>17591133
Asad smells good, but it is not a good Elixir clone.
Detour Noir is a good Layton clone, 9PM is a good Ultra Male clone, Dakar is a good Drakkar Noir clone. That's pretty much it for clones. All the other ones can be disregarded.

>>17591143
if you sampled most of eldo dont bother with the set. most essential parfums are not that good either. not sure if they have sample sets but if you're in the USA check out the zoo. g parfums has some weird stuff too. jovoy is a bit more traditional. dont think he has sample sets but obligatory prin.
also check out lush, quite the normie brand but their fragrances are often more daring than eldo/cdg. highly underrated

>>17591133
Sillage BUT as soon as I finish my bottle I will get Mefisto Gentiluomo

>>17590901
Bros I made a mistake… they’re just sitting out in the sun, no one’s taken them… they’re in the boxes, but still…

>>17590682
It's a safe choice, but nothing special. I use it in the office if I want something simple and non offensive.

what am I in for?

Nearly everyone in this thread is truly a fucking follower.

>>17591222
Turns out the homeless just wants a ham sandwich and not smelly water

>>17590374
Yeah, I mislabeled it.
Thank you for your s̶e̶r̶v̶i̶c̶e̶ autism

>>17591222
Take them to a goodwill

your favourite fragrance for each season?

>>17590371
I got a bottle about 2 months ago because my wife said she liked it. Took a while, but it grew on me over time. Its definitely not 'contemporary' in any sense of the word, but it does have a really refined 'classic' feel. Very citrusy, very fresh, very daytime. Mediocre performance in both sillage and longevity. Not a good blind buy, but worth checking out if you can find a place with a tester. Girls with daddy issues will love it.

>>17589568
Jesus... Can't they stop releasing AdG's flankers?

i love chypres so much it’s unreal

>>17591371
Name your favs, my nigga

>>17591364
it's just a profumo re-release
literal same notes

>>17591384
i just really like pour monsieur, i spray it on my chest at home alone just so i can smell it

>>17589557
been experimenting with mixing juices in little 10ml travel atomizers and have made an autistic blend that has LITERALLY gotten me compliments in public every time I wear it - it's absurd.
>25 sprays of dior homme 2020
>25 sprays of mont blanc explorer
>10 sprays iso-e-super
>1 spray atelier clementine california
>1 spray dior eau sauvage edt

After it's sat for a few days to mix all the notes, just a normal 2-4 sprays lasts most of the day, however most compliments have come when it was freshly applied or re-applied

>>17591403
Jesus fucking Christ, what isn't in that mix of notes?

>>17591403
why even bother with the eau sauvage at that point

just picked up this TdH parfum, because 1 week ago i accidentally spilled a sample of it on me. ended up loving it so much i was sniffing the carpet where it spilled after it wore off on my skin.
some people say the chemistry suits it being an eau de toilette but that doesnt make sense and i love the heavy drydown

>>17590901
>>17591222
Update to this retarded saga: someone took the Passenger! Horizon is still there, but admittedly it was a tester, so maybe the box that says “not for sale” or whatever is turning them off. Or just the scent, it’s not bad but was my least favorite of the two anyway.

>>17590654
It’s really good, I like light blue eau intense a little more.

>>17591371
>>17590371
On a related note, are there any recs for a more modern chypre? I've liked the few I've tried but they all felt super old fashioned.

>>17591553
>why is this deliberately traditional 100+ year old form old fashioned? i want it to smell like cool water

Am I a weird case or is it really difficult to know if you’ll like a fragrance by the stated notes? I feel super picky but a lot of shit I should like on paper just sucks

>>17591574
No it's normal, the intensity of the individual notes and the specific ingredients used to create them make a huge difference.
Going by the individual notes, almost any frag would smell good because they typically only include ingredients that smell good. But obviously that isn't the case

>>17591582
Fair, thanks anon

>>17590999
Why go for jazz club when you can go with arguably way better fragrances that are in the same vein.

>>17591341
Eros for daily wear in the spring? Hope its the EDT or else you'll be stinking up the room.
Also I usually go for Agua Brava during the winter because its cozy and reminds me of skiing trips I used to take, but it does smell like old man.
Any recommendations for winter fragrances that are cozy but not to strong? Been looking at Benz Black Club but idk if I trust a car company to make fragrances

sauvage edt vs edp?

heard recent formulations of sauvage edp is weak?

or should I just skip sauvage entirely and get bleu de chanel edp?

so what fragrances are truly beast mode?

every frangrantica page I read people are crying about reformulations and weak performance even from supposed powerhouses like Sauvage EDP, Ultra Male, and Antaues

Only thing people can universally agree on being beast mode is Sauvage Elixir

>>17591437
Wish I could pull it off since so many people recommend it but I just smells like old geriatric fuck on me. Sprayed a tester of it twice on my arm and I could still smell it a whole day later, shits rank on my skin.

>>17591618
EDT is strong enough and has good projection to not warrant getting the EDP.
Also dont get blue de chanel, you'll smell like every other fragrance newfag

>>17591314
>Balenciaga? after all this time?
>always.

>>17591622
>looking only at designer frags for beast mode
>listening to the autistic whining on normie fragrance forums instead of just testing frags on own skin
ngmi

>>17591553
Tested Chypre Palatin yet? It seems as if the chypre dna smells old-fashioned to you. Also, Aventus qualifies as a chypre.

>>17591618
Which one did you like the most when you tested them at a store?

>>17591622
The eternal quest for the beast mode fragrance. At this point, you will probably have to go either hyperpriced faux-niche or artisanal to get something beast mode.

>>17591624
Why wish that you could pull it off? I hate vetiver-forward fragrances and wouldn't wear it either, this one was no exception. People perceive stuff different and you have gained knowledge that will help you dodge further weird fruity vetivers in the future.

>>17591611
such as?

>>17591622
Lapidus pour homme
Drakkar noir
Kouros
Aramis

>>17591624
I always find that TdH smells way better with only two sprays sprayed on the neck. if you use too much or put your nose right in it, it can be a bit too much

>>17591655
bro its not the 80s anymore, current reformulations are all weak

>>17591655
Drakkar Noir is far from beast mode (and it never really was beast mode in the first place). TLPH is still beast mode but you don't want to smell like it. Same with Kouros.

>>17591660
There are some old frags which still hold up. Like Giorgio for Men goes hard for its price, but one needs to like this type of fragrance.

>>17589610
Anything eucalyptus, basically.

>>17591622
Try Nasamoto's Black Afgano. Shit is powerful, as in 1 spray will do. I think it smells good, but def not for casual day to day wear.

Slightly less in your face is House of Matriarch Black No. 1.

>>17591312
I just recently ordered a sample myself. Is it a blind buy for you?

>>17591143
I obviously cannot clairvoyance your likes and loves, but liking rose will probably help since a bulk of ELDO is rose based. As for weirdness, if you tried and have been unimpressed by the following then sure skip it for something else : Une Amourette, Le Fin du Monde, Rien, Fat Electrician, Like This, Jasmin et Cigarette and She Was An Anomaly. For me unlike with many designers and some niche, it is still very interesting to comeback and retest the ones I wasn't blown away by and is not collecting dust, also, this brand is a common reference point in frag reviews.

>>17591660
If we are being honest, being a reformulation queen is one of the worst mental illnesses you can catch from being a male fragrance autist.

>>17591622
We are perfume connoisseurs in this thread. Maybe you would enjoy posting on r/fragrance instead?

>>17591660
Tell me you have never smelled any of these at any point in time without using those exact words. Retard autist
>>17591664
>TLPH is still beast mode but you don't want to smell like it. Same with Kouros.
t. filtered

>>17591736
it is and i'm not going to go into the vintage rabbit hole, but the ones he mentioned are a shadow of their former self, denying this is pure cope. it is what it is but recommending them as beast mode is malicious
>>17591740
i own 3 of the 4 mentioned fragrances and tested the fourth one extensively, kill yourself

>>17591649
Vetiver frags are the best. I’m wearing guerlain vetiver extreme today. A more Modern take on Guerlain vetiver

>>17591754
I like vintage frags. Especially if the Guerlain and Caron variety. Ama

No one should ever be using the term "beast mode". This isn't a Jeremy fragrance video.

>>17591314
You are a follower just as much, you just follow autists

>>17591780
He probably listens to the perfume nationalist, they just reviewed Balenciaga pour homme

>>17591652
D&G The One

>>17591756
have you tried the 2022 version of caron pour un homme and can compare it to the latest reformulation pre 2022 and to the real vintage?

>>17591143
I bought into the meme and ordered Bois Imperial. Legitimately it's a great scent and both strangers and friends alike have complimented it. I'd say the set is probably worth it based on my experience with the BI alone.

>>17591850
BI is the only good scent from essential parfums, trust me i sampled them all.

>>17591865
I think the musk is pretty good for hot weather as well.

I crave narcissus combined with musk / oud. Any recommendations?

>>17591804
not him but this fat guy who reminds me of the canadian tranny peetz has and he gave a pretty nuanced breakdown of his thoughts between 80’s vintage (reformulated) and modern.

I bought into the meme and ordered Bois Imperial. Legitimately it's a great scent and both strangers and friends alike have complimented it. I'd say the set is probably worth it based on my experience with the BI alone.

Honestly I don't think Erwin Creed knows anything about chemistry or making fragrances at all. The guy can't even speak English. Just another cokehead who's never worked a day in his life.

>Is it a blind buy for you?
Yea I didn't want to ship a single sample bottle across the border and I found a place that was selling the bottles cheaper than the sale price on B&M's site.

>>17591804
I haven’t tried 2022 pour un homme. I have a large 750ml bottle that is the newer formulation. It smells very nice. It has a sharp natural herbal component. The vanilla is natural and unsweetened. The older vintage formulations are imo better and can still be purchased relatively cheap if you look on eBay. The vanilla and musk are very natural and fuller than in the newer bottles. I have a real old bottle like pic related. This one wears like an edp when compared to the modern bottles even though it’s an edc.

You fool, Erwin Creed is a 7th generation master perfumer. The man was directly involved in the creation of Aventus, one of the most popular, if not the greatest fragrances ever.

It's so easy to discredit another person's achievements and hard work. Especially if you know nothing about them. And for what? For a little bit of attention on 4chan's /frag/ thread. To feel better about yourself? It's a trait of insecure people.

I've been liking these recently, Aromatics Elixir and Drakkar Noir.
The patchouli base in AE is fun, lets you affect different vibes, like it can be a bit sultry and mature but also just dirty.
And tho I don't normally do men's fragrances, Drakkar Noir has been fun to wear with certain clothes. I tried it at a gay bar as well as at a couple hardcore shows, and while I'm told it's very iconic among gay men, it felt pretty on point at these dimly lit dive bars and venues.

Agreed. Had to kill some time last summer waiting for my train and I ended up smelling a shit ton of creed fragrances that where set up at a nearby mall. All of them we're absolutely rank. I have no idea why people push it so much. Also the bottle looks like shit.

>>17592227
Has it been reformulated again? I haven’t heard about it.

>>17591143
Besides BI, I found Divine Vanille, Fig Infusion and Mon Vetiver very wearable. I appreciated The Musc and Rose Magnetic but felt they were too feminine to pull them off. Nice Bergamote is mid, and Orange x Santal can die in a fire.

Aromatics elixir is incredible, and great value.

>>17592231
it's an entirely new version, people say it's the same as the latest formulation of 1934. there is also a new perfume flanker that seems good too.

Erwin Creed and his father are the Picasso of fragrance...Plato and Aristotle...Mozart and Bach! Fragrance royalty. Erwin is adorable! For those who find Erwin off-putting, try to see what's going on here. Jeremy has asked a global powerhouse to critique his online-only scent. Creed is sold all over the world in the most elegant and high-end boutiques and retailers. Erwin was very accommodating. Much respect for what Jeremy has accomplished, but why is he tossing that bottle of fragrance like a ball? Meanwhile, I wish the Creed family legacy could have continued. Sad to see it end.

Is pic related good for Aussie summer?

Looking for something fresh, fruity, long-lasting and projecting for this summer. Don't care if it's generic, I only care about it smelling good. I used to love Fierce but now the performance is ass apparently so not that.
Designer priced please

>>17592334
Dior homo original is pretty gay. You’d probably like it, faggot npc. Or be a man and try Dior Fahrenheit

>>17592334
People jizz in their pants over D&G Light Blue eau intense but i dont get the hype. That said its a fresh fragrance, pretty nice.
Im using Lacoste blanc tho which is really fresh and fruity. I got the edt so you should probably go with the edp if you want more projection, people have said that there are differences in terms of notes tho.

What notes or aromatic families are considered adequate for males under 30 these days? I really like herbal/mossy/vegetation inspired frags but review infos on them usually recommend for older men. On the other hand, iris and fruity frags seem to be all the rage for young guys.

>>17592353
Just be a good goy and buy your office friendly, homosexual and woman oriented, fruity, lipsticky designer frag. Don’t let the banned oakmoss release your inner masculinity, it’s toxic.

>>17592353
I also shy away from more woody fragrances for the same reason. Went to a local store today to buy something new and everything smells fruity as hell (not that I mind, hell I'd wear luna rossa daily if it werent for the fact that I'd 100% be called a fag) but I really want to pull off a woody winter fragrance without scaring off girls with old man smell. Imo, you can pull off woody and herbal smells as long as theres some citrus in there to sweeten things up a bit (think something like versace eau fraiche for summer or dolce gabana the one for winter). Wish I could give better advice but desu I'm also looking for it.

>>17592321

>got the edt so you should probably go with the edp if you want more projection

I love the confidence people have when they don't know what the fuck they are talking about.
EDP doesn't equal more projection, that's a marketing ploy foisted upon retards by the fragrance industry. In fact often times EDP, Parfum and extrait project less because there is less alcohol to oil, so evaporation isn't as powerful.

>>17592372
Why would I waste money of a fragrance that I wont be able to wear since friends and dates wont like it? Are you retarded or another 4chan incel that has no idea how people act and uses fahrenheit as mouth wash

>>17592382
jesus christ i mean performance. Dont be such a faggot about it, schizo

>>17592382
Alcohol content also has nothing to do with projection. The alcohol basically evaporates immediately. Only the volatility of the fragrance compounds combined with their detection thresholds have any meaning. It's another marketing ploy to justify selling EdTs alongside EdPs, Parfums, Extraits, Absolutes, Elixirs, etc.

>>17592385
>since friends and dates wont like it?

I disagree with this. It last 2 hours and then becomes a skin scent. Eau Extreme probably 3 hours then becomes a skin scent. I have tried it with the lotion/vaseline as well.

I thought Montblanc longevity was abysmal?

Just bought a 1994 brand new Harley-Davidson Original EDT and guys...this shit is lit.

It's an awesome fragance with a nice perfomance , so bad we can't find things like this nowadays...7h lasting is amazing in an EDT but you know, it was 1994.

>>17592667
I got it. Have you tried straight javanol? See if you can find a bottle of Molecule 04 around you and then buy javanol online if you like it.

>>17592966
Legend EdP works great on me, that's why I suggested it, and also at least somewhat close to Fierce. You could also try Bentley For Men Black Edition - it's an even fruitier version of Montblanc Legend EdP. If you just want fresh, very fruity, long-lasting, powerful and "generic", but with no similarities to Fierce, just get Ultra Male. Fagranticafags will call it a winter fragrance, but since it's fruity and fresh I don't see it being a winter fragrance at all.

>>17592994
>at least somewhat close to Fierce
Is it a clone, or just the same scent profile (like Percival)?
> fresh, very fruity, long-lasting, powerful and "generic"
What about Y EDP? Will try UM too
And yes preferably I'd like something reminiscent of Fierce but I'm open to anything

>>17592996
I wouldn't call it a straight clone, but the scent profile is way closer to Fierce than the one of Percival. Y EdP probably fits your bill as well. The apple in it is fresh and the blue base makes it well-liked. It wasn't that great for me personally, since I prefer different fragrances (e.g. the Fierce-like frags). Of the Fierce-likes I have tested Platinum Egoiste has become my favorite (Fierce is actually a PE-like frag, a more youthful take on it), but it doesn't last that long. Legend EdP is the closest to Fierce and lasts rather long on me, Bentley Black Edition lasts a bit longer and is fruitier, Percival is a bit warmer and lasts the longest, but the price tag doesn't convince me, since I can even buy Platinum Egoiste for half the price of Percival when PE is on sale.
If you want to test Y and UM, also give Eros and Sauvage as well as their flankers are shot. Peak "generic", as some connoisseurs/snobs will say, but fresh, long-lasting and with Eros at least somewhat fruity.

this is actually pretty good (a steal considering the price), the opening is a citrus blast (not great, not terrible), drydown is very similar to Aventus but i will have to test that again to confirm
i don't sense any issues with the quality of the frag, this is perfectly suitable for everyday use, two small sprays will def last for a few hours at least
presentation is meh, the box is not great and the bottles are imo very tacky

At some point I will probably buy decants of ELDO I haven't smelled yet, but I pulled the trigger on Serge Lutens discovery and now have like 40+ untested samples and I like to have 2-3 spaced apart tests before forming an opinion, so I am probably out of the sampling craze for 2/3 months.

i remeber tobacco vanille being this super cozy scent and when i tested it back then i couldnt get my nose off my wrist. now i tried it again and it was really weak and nasty, like a very generic womens flower scent. odd.

>>17594482
Your nose isn't broken, the blue fragrances are praised because they are easy to like - just like Tobacco Vanille as well. Reminder that there are people even in this thread who go out and blindbuy these expensive bottles. If you shill those fragrances to your followers and they hate them if they also blindbuy them, you lose credibility (and therefore you also lose your purpose as a marketing tool for the fragrance industry). That's why all the top 10 lists are the same. For actual fragrance discussion, you would go elsewhere, not YouTube or Instagram.
I've recently grown completely tired of every new release that is sweet - I smell them, I hate them. My only thought is "not again". It all smells like a complete lack of inspiration.

Very forward on the eucalyptus, the drydown is different depending on where you put it, on chest/neck it dries down into a cloudy musk without much sweetness, on wrist it catches more of that pissy note for some reason. Performance is good, get 6-7 hours out of a single spray. It's very wearable, works great under clothes if you don't want to go the nuclear route.
