that really is the target audience for snooze de chanel; skinny, effeminate twinks wearing tiny undersized suits that make them look naked and skintight trousers that show off their ass like yoga pants

Now what could've possibly possessed you to just go on here and type that about another man?

>>17611526
the legions of depressed, underpaid, sleep deprived and poorly dressed office workers throughout the first world that can be seen on the streets in major city business districts in the early morning, lunchtime and late evening living out their unexamined lives. all wear bore de chanel

>>17611521
it's okay to be gay, anon - here on 4chan no one will judge you for it
>>17611521
also, based on this comment you were inappropriately touched by a badly dressed office worker while you were very young - do you want to talk about it?

>>17611544
no exclusive homosexuality here, bore de chanel is suitable for shabbily dressed whitecollar pondscum of all sexual orientations.

for the Pardon/Nasomatto anon from the previous thread (>>17609834):
i sprayed it yesterday and it definitely shines in colder weather, it can get a bit cloying on the hotter days of spring
performance is still awesome

Bought pic related yesterday and it's the only Zara fragrance that actually impressed me and that I think it's well constructed.

Musky , powdery , sweet rose and vanilla and amber on the drydown. Completely unisex and beautiful

I was thinking about buying Eau rose by Dyptique for the summer but this probably scratched that itch

>>17611516
I like bleu de chanel, I have it as a fragrence for special occasions.

As a daily I have Polo Black at the moment

Does anyone know anything about The Essence Vault?

So I tried eau savage parfum and I need some even stronger but with similar smell. Any suggestions?

>>17611585
Either the EDT or elixir

>>17611595
>eau sauvage elixir
>eau
kys
>>17611585
>even stronger
you're missing the point

tried this in store a few days ago and it just smells like fuckin orthodox church
how do people like this

Post collections.

>>17611578
>Does anyone know anything about The Essence Vault
probably the same generic arab-made oils mixed with extra cheap alcohol as most other clone sites
don't bother with clones, there are many great original fragrances for cheap

>>17611608
IDK what orthodox churches smell like, but surely church incense is supposed to smell good
I kind of doubt it has as much vanilla, iris and civet as Shalimar as well. is this the first fragrance with balsamic incense notes you've smelled?

>>17611612
No way you used terror and magnificence more than once

>>17611585
sounds like you should just get the regular ass sauvage like the basic bitch you are

>>17611618
Yes way. Why would I buy a fragrance just to have it sitting there?

>>17611623
You seem like the kind of dude that just buy blind buy stuff from "cool" brands

Most beaufort fragrances are interesting but completely unwearable. T&M is one of them.

>>17611616
>IDK what orthodox churches smell like
it's a very specific smell, from what I recall they use cedar and some kind of other wood resins for their incenses
I didn't notice iris or vanilla in this perfume at all also
no idea where would you even wear this unless you want to become a nun or something
>is this the first fragrance with balsamic incense notes you've smelled?
yes

>>17611628
How? I literally have 5 fragrances. Everything else is samples. And those 5 I have I've sampled before buying. What's wearable to you if these aren't?

>>17611628
>You seem like the kind of dude that just buy blind buy stuff from "cool" brands
+++
I have that feel too.
He has no idea about lapidus but buys beauforts.
Like nigger zoomer in full rick nowadays

>>17611633
Fathom and acrasia are the only Beaufort I would wear.
Terror and magnificence just smells like the remains of a bonfire. Who wants to smell like a barbecue

>>17611636
TLPH smells like urinal cakes and gothrock dude has been testing things for multiple threads now and then bought his favorites. On that note, it is really not worth mentioning TLPH. The piss puck fragrance should only be mentioned combined with Kouros - so you can add straight piss to your piss puck. Combined, they make the perfect "gas station toilet" scent, or the scent of a long-haul trucker cab filled with piss bottles. I'd rather wear Terror & Magnificience than the toilet juice.

>>17611643
>Terror and magnificence just smells like the remains of a bonfire

No it doesn't. You've never tried it, or you're confusing it with something else. Anyways, post collection.

>>17611585
>eau savage parfum
Do you mean the eau de parfum?
Just get the straight up Parfam then, but why do you need it stronger?
Do you smell that much?

>>17611613
yeah, its been popping up on social media alot, just wondering if anyone here had tried it

>>17611646
>trespasser

Pretty cool. It's one of the new ones I tried. Funny how I tried 16 new fragrances and only put one in top tier. I might straight up buy slow explosions next and I'm debating between one of either rien, tauer 02, or une amourrette, because I can't buy them all. A friend of mine has that tom ford one, he can't stop shilling it.

>>17611653
Eau Sauvage Parfum is the name of the fragrance, the concentration doesn't matter for the name. It is NOT Sauvage, which comes in three "concentrations" (should be called versions) and as an "Elixir". The implied concentration is also unrelated to strength, longevity, sillage and anything else. They are simply used to denote different fragrances. So Eau Sauvage Cologne, Eau Sauvage and Eau Sauvage Parfum are three different fragrances, while Sauvage EdT, EdP and Parfum are also three different fragrances.

>>17611654
I wanted something with vanilla and most stuff with vanilla also had the same sweet notes added to it, this was the one that hit me different.

>>17611612
What else should I add

>>17611668
Donatello is in fact the best ninja turtle, but a Donatello fragrance?

>>17611678
It was incredibly cheap and I was curious, it's actually not bad at all

Also yes he is the best

>>17611682
Very interesting.

>>17611688
reviewer names kinda sus desu

>>17611631
I wonder what you'd think of Zagorsk by CDG, since that's specifically composed to smell like orthodox incense
most people get more of a "fantasy middle-eastern temple with scantily dressed priestesses" vibe from Shalimar. maybe you just have super strong associations with incense

>>17611653
> why do you need it stronger?
I like smell so I want even stronger version of it
I tried 2012 version. Dont know if its parfum or edp

>>17611521
Couldn't be more true, and the response to this post indicates more than a few touched nerves.

Got a bunch of samples and my thoughts so far

1. EA Stronger with You - 100% will cop this and makes me want to be gay so I can have a boyfriend that smells as good as this that I can bury my face into
2. JPG Ultra Male - very powerful but it's a bit like you showered in Monster energy drink. Need to try JPG Le Male
3. Allure Homme Sport - the floral and wood in it is lovely but it mostly just smells like a boring fresh citrus fragrance
4. Montblanc Explorer - potentially good gym frag but also smells like car seatbelts
5. Montblanc Legend - wore off fast and I prefer Explorer, need to try again
6. Versace Dylan Blue - not tried yet
7. Versace Eros Flame - not tried yet
8. Acqua di Gio EDP - not tried yet
9. Rasasi Hawas - very juicy citrus and fairly long lasting but boring
10. Prada Luna Rossa Carbon - not tried yet
11. Prada Amber Pour Homme - another 100% cop, clean and fresh probs my goto office scent for when I go to the office once a year
12. Acqua di Gio Profumo - don't see the hype, was flat on my skin and didn't last long but maybe a bad sample
13. AdP Fico di Amalfi - not tried yet but after trying a bunch of these citrus ones I learned that I don't like citrus much at all. Citrus is too common and overbearing for me

>>17611703
>Zagorsk by CDG
sounds interesting, I'll see if I can get a sample just to sniff it
but yeah otherwise I would have no idea how and where would you wear this and Shalimar unless, like I said, you want to become a nun or priest or some shit

>>17611735
Be aware that SWY will become less interesting the more you test other stuff. At first I thought SWY Absolutely was great, but then they just recycled the same notes in a million different "current" fragrances. Ultra Male has nothing to do with Le Male. Try the Montblanc Legend Eau de Parfum, it lasts rather long on me. Just my two cents.

>>17611735
I take it back about Prada Amber Pour Homme... can see how some people might hate this

>>17611749
Prada amber ph is my after shower pick
tested sample of intense version today and dont really like it
They cut neroli and spices and made it more unisex with citruses
Performance is weaker too

>>17611735
>got a bunch of normalfag samples
yawn

>>17611668
Platinum Egoiste (like a better Eternity)
Terre d'Hermes
Jaipur
unironically Le Male (similarities to Blue Jeans and Eros)

>>17611767
my collection is young so I want to add some simple good ones before I start going for niche stuff

Need more classic Guerlain feminines, Caron masculines, Roudnitska stuff (Diorella and Ocean Rain specifically) and I’m interested in trying Cristalle since it’s the last Henri Robert fragrance I don’t have and for some reason Roudnitska also played a role in it. Recommend me more stuff I might like or that I haven’t considered.

>>17611810
one of those Eau Sauvage bottles is vintage, right? how do they compare?

for reccs:
Shalimar ofc
Samsara
Cerruti 1881
Jaipur Homme
Lalique Pour Homme (Lion)
Perfumecraft Kaszebsczi Mech (a little similar to Chanel Pour Monsieur. much stronger performance)

>>17611557
Based. So underrated

Reminds me of poal slighty

>>17611818
left is vintage, dated to 1988. i strongly suspect the top notes have gone off (just ordered another vintage tester to confirm i’m not going crazy) but it’s a significantly muskier and overripe smelling fragrance, while the modern one is just very very fresh and light.

>>17611784
>Platinum Egoiste (like a better Eternity)
Planinum Egoiste has some similarities to Eternity but it's way worse.

>Le Male (similarities to Blue Jeans and Eros)
It doesn't. Le Male is super clean without anything warm and spicy. Those two are somewhat cool because of that. Le Male is in my top 3 scents but it's exactly because it's just clean and comforting.

>>17611834
>Le Male is super clean without anything warm and spicy
you sure you're not thinking about a flanker or something? to my nose it's fairly spicy and not what I'd call super clean. the base reminds me of cookies with vanilla and spices
I've always considered Blue Jeans a bit of a lighter, more summery and citrusy alternative to Le Male and Eros a bit of a wannabe spiritual successor (not sure about Flame though, maybe that one is completely different)

>>17611646
didn't even have to read your post to know you have shit taste after seeing your collection

>>17611845

I got to try Roja dove at the mall for the first time yesterday. Nieman Marku. Sweetie aoud was really great but that was the only one I liked

What the heck is this thing by Killian? Is it just a little box?

>>17611872
Yes, that's exactly what it is. Can you not read?

>>17611872
good lord that’s cheesy

What's effay's position on Creed VIW? Do you agree with luca turin's meme review?

>>17611876
It's $115.

>>17611878
luca turin is based and creed is for nouveau riche losers

>>17611880
is this the first expensive thing you've ever seen in your whole life?

>>17611889
Yeah I've only seen cheap shit thus far. Such as your whore mother for example.

>>17611886
thanks for the validation, I would feel kinda ick wearing it if this board liked it

>>17611878
Creed is apsirational trash for Indians and other undesirables. Similarly with Tom Ford.

>>17611934
Tom Ford actually has innovative classics full of personality, TV and TL, AA are iconic

>>17611608
I have modern edt sample and it is giving very old eccentric female teacher. I don't get the hype and it kinda suffocating, but maybe I am wrong considering how many versions and flankers it has as well as vintages, this sample might not represent it much.

>>17611516
Just bought a decant of this. What can I expect?

>>17611956
a completely forgettable sugary faggot smell

>>17611959
Babes, if you calling npc blue fragrances gay I don't even know what is not gay to you.

>>17611891

Fucked up and posted too late in previous thread
>>>17607555
Hello anons, complete noob here and I want to make sure my first purchase is something close to what I'm looking for. After reading through the pic, I think I'm looking for a Fresh Green fragrance, due to primarily using it for this summer and because it sounds like it lasts the longest. I plan to start with the Guerlain Homme EDP since it's the cheapest there, but if there are any other suggestions not listed I would appreciate them greatly.

Some follow up questions: where should I be applying for longest lasting effect? Clothing or skin? Also, I have some old random fragrances that were gifted for Christmas/birthdays that I am not sure on the quality of, nor whether they're still "good" if that's even a thing. It seems like they smell for a minute or two before dissipating completely, and I've gotten others to confirm so that it's not just that I got used to the smell. In short, can fragrances go bad/expire? Should I just toss all this old stuff and start anew? Thank you all in advance.

>>17611968
don't care, it smells like an effeminate broccoli haired fruitcake zoomie twink numale. if that is not gay to you, you are probably one too

>>17611970
If you're such a big job haver you should help your mother financially so she doesn't have to whore herself out for cheap.

>>17611953
They are fundamentally incomplete perfumery. Pleasant, (and they should be at the price they currently go for) but not revalatory in the same way the great Guerlains are.

>>17611668
>>17611810
>those unused bottles
>"guyz what should i buy next !!"
maybe just buy yourself a funko pop

>>17611973
I am gay af thank god.It is just I can't even imagine where white or yellow florals, rose soliflores, rose ouds and monomusks should be on your extremely nuanced scale of gayness if your reference point is bdc being gay. Is labdanum or orange blossom gay? Gourmand vetiver in fat electrician?

the longevity of green frags is average most of the time. sweet gourmand trash lasts the longest usually and citrus only lasts a short time. someone made a chart for green frags only some time ago but i dont have it right now.
fragrances can go bad if they're decades old and/or were stored in direct sunlight and/or in a room with strongly varying temperature & humidity.

>>17611982
Based hater, but also they might be retards that own 6 million fragrances so they barely put a dent in them, I have 4 frags in my winter rotation, and I trully go very slowly through them

>>17612062
>6 million fragrances
Red flag. They are just shizos at this point

>>17611784
I tried Platinum Egoiste and I liked it but not enough to buy it. I'll try the others you mentioned though

So basically the same shit and stereotypical at that. Orientals in general are much more feminine than BdC unless they have leather and non-sweet tobacco overload.

I got Montblanc Explorer but it's why too aggressive for my personality... smells like corporate boardrooms and BMWs. I am more shy and reserved what are some good fragrances. I am thinking about Eau Sauvage Parfum but I don't want to smell like an old man. I live in a cold environment. Pic unrelated.

I recently got the sample box from ATH, from my point of view he's leagues above designer stuff in terms of scent, performance and longevity but I'm fairly new to fragrances.
Is there anything you'd like to know about his stuff in general or in particular?

Audio-Technica? yeah he makes some good headphones. great performance and longevity indeed. the M40x is underrated

>>17612173
all time high? this thread is at its all time low

Some of you guys itt really get on my nerves and if this was real life I'd be knocking you out one by one I swear. A couple of you are constantly hostile for no reason, thinking everyone should know about x fragrance, and even own it like it's some staple. I get the impression you follow some youtuber opinions and don't have any of your own. Or maybe it's just buyer's remorse I don't know. Something makes you think you're superior because you own some fragrance whoever famous deemed cool. If you try acting smug around me in real life because I don't have or recognize your shitty fragrance I'm genuinely going to punch you in your nerd face and break your glasses.

And if this is written by the veiniest man himself, just start sending out reasonably priced samples to all of europe instead of limiting it to fucking UK, and also just add all of your fragrances to relevant databases, you ain't too cool for school nigger.

Imagine being some chubby brown glasses wearing manlet with a receding hairline that tries his absolute hardest to compensate with fragrances he heard on the internet are well received and popular, and thinking you can dictate who belongs where.

>>17612270
I own tf oud mineral and I’m disappointed in the quality when compared to classic Guerlains. It’s long lasting and strong but has synthetic edges. Also sampled Oud wood, black orchid, tobacco vanilli, and a few other Tom fords and all are overtly synthetic.

Okay thank you anon, please post the chart if you have time/find it. I don't think the fragrances I have are decades old, and they've been stored in a dark place, so maybe they're just of very low quality? Also, I keep getting recommended Lataffa and Armaf, but I don't know if I'm being meme'd or not. I could just buy and try, but does anyone have any experience with these?

>>17612013
Only New York Intense.

>>17612205
Perfumes have way too many components and factors influencing their perception. Trying to describe them past broad categories is a meme. Even people with 500+ collections cannot describe perfume good enough to beat even 10% effect of buying a sample and trying it on your own skin. All of the descriptions and forums are mainly hobbyist sperging to either hype up your buying addiction and sweet longing while yet another box is in transit or feed autistic interest of wondering how other people perceive stuff you already have.
If non of this brings joy to you it would be silly to sperg more than a quick glance at summary of longevity, sillage and "This perfume reminds me of" on Fragrantica.

>>17612085
Bisch is certainly trying to do his best. Akigalawood(R) + randomized Givaudan(TM) ingredients(R) will be his next release, and akigalawood(R) + other randomized Givaudan(TM) ingredients(R) after that.

thoughts?

>>17612338
genuinly smells like old mans shit.

>>17612295
i seriously dont get anything synthetic. you should try vintage Amber Absolute, its by far the best TF ever made, and i would pick it over majority of Guerlains. But then again AA is the best private blend ever made.

You presume to know that Tom ford fragrances "aren't supposed to be complex"?

Compare any tom ford to angel. Here you have in a nutshell the substantive difference between muglers approach to fashion and tom fords. Angel is subversive and playful, the mix of dirty patchouli and sugary confection is hilarious, original and utterly memorable. Compare to Tom Fords offerings which seem to be mostly quite derivative (Tuscan leather being a face lift of knize ten etc...) and not particularly surprising.

Combine this with the cynical pricing and you have a fragrance house that I think it would benefit all of perfumery if it just disappeared...

>>17612344
You would pick that over mitsuoko? Are you bonkers?

>>17612366
>Habit Rouge
>Pour Un Homme
ah yes, simply delightful!

I am now an Imaginary Authors shill. I emailed them with a couple of random inquiries and the perfumer himself answered my email within a couple of hours and was super nice and cool about everything. To be honest not all of their fragrances are that good, but the 3-4 that I like are really top tier. And they're not too expensive either. God bless whoever recommended me A City on Fire in here a while back when I was looking for a more unique fragrance. It's such godlike scent. In fact if anyone has any other unique recommendations I'm ready for them.

>>17612251
Anyone

>>17612432
Guess you just can't into vetiver, anon. I don't like it much either, to me it smells like unpeeled carrots. Not necessarily unpleasant, but would I wanna smell like that, fuck no.

Something by Beaufort London or Imaginary Authors. What fragrances do you like?

>>17612569
I really don't get how you guys come up with these descriptions.

>>17612331
lucky cunt, i found it. not sure if that's the final version, the anon who made it seems to be MIA. it's also missing bogart signature and many, many others but it's a decent overview.
>>17612578
90's isn't really my decade but l'eau d'issey pour homme and aramis havana are nice

>>17612610
I'm not pulling this out of my ass, it literally smells like musty dirty vegetable roots to me. Which is fairly close to what it actually is, and it isn't a smell I would want on me.

>>17612607
please fuck off

>>17612251
parfums de marly percival

>>17612432
you hate them because they smell like grass and you have never touched it.

>>17612619
No I will not fuck off. Stay mad and deal with it.

>>17612623
Why are some of you so desperate to make a witty and quirky post? No they don't fucking smell like grass.

I want to check out the molecule meme with some samples. Recommendations?

>>17612640
>trying to argue that vetiver doesn’t smell like grass
holy shit lmfao

>>17612642
Am I retarded or what? It doesn't?

>>17612607
I like floral and aromatic fragrances

My favourites are Ganymede, Carnal Flower, Interlude and Experimentum crucis

>>17612659
yeah, you’re actually braindead or anosmic

>>17612659
vetiver is literally tall grass

>>17612641
Classic 01 02

>>17612641
go to a store and smell m01. realize that molecule frags are a reddit meme and save yourself the money

>>17612641
they have sample set of 10 of all eccentrics and molecules. Prepare to be habituated in 5 seconds...

>>17612661
Nice ass

>>17612641
I went to a store to test them, later bought the discovery kit. You get M01-M05 and E01-E05. Try finding that discovery kit, it was quite cheap.

>>17612659
It smells like whatever to me, certainly not like grass, so I'm with you on that one. Everybody perceives things differently (and the Molecule series has made me realize that even more). Couldn't stand M03, vetiveryl acetate is something that will never touch any of my frags.

>>17612662
>>17612664
You are full of shit.

>>17612743
this nigga retarded

>>17612750
In terms of fragrances the note refers to the dried up root, not fucking grass. Idiot.

>>17612753
hmm yes very interesting.... i wonder what type of plant this root comes from

>>17612753
>grass roots dont smell like grass
why does /frag/

>>17612753
grow some vetiver and check for yourself you ape.

>>17612756
>>17612761
When you say grass scent no sane person imagines vetiver. Stop arguing semantics like some nerd.

>>17612767
I'll grow you a black eye bitch.

>>17612770
when you smell vetiver most sane people would get a grass scent, I don't know why your thinking is so backwards and retarded. Maybe because you are a retard.

>>17612775
This is plain wrong.

>>17612774
you wont do shit nigger, you unironicly need to do grass smelling

>>17612770
>vetiver is grass
>you are full of shit
>vetiver is grass
>it's the root
>it's the root of vetiver, which is grass
>ree stop arguing semantics
i dont know what to tell you buddy

I really like my BDC Parfum but I swear I can't even tell I sprayed it after like 10 minutes. How many sprays should I be using? I do like 3

>>17612779

>>17612782
3-5 is reasonable.

What is the cheapest, most entry level summer fragrance for a poorfag that's never use one before? I'm 29 and going to an outdoors wedding in 3 weeks.

>>17612866
please correct this that hurt to read, 31 isn't even that old stop being gay

I just made a 453€ order of some niche fragrances and samples.

Convince me that I didn't do a stupid purchase spending this much money on smelly water

>>17612869
cheap and entry level in order of price low to high I would recommend nautica voyage, missoni wave, and dolce and gabbana light blue eau intense. You could also go to wherever sells fragrances and tell them you would like to test some aquatic or citrus scents and tell them your budget.

>>17612870
It's too late bro. Being my age and being this socially retarded is such a red flag that I'm not even going to try. I can't do the apps because I've got no pictures and don't know what to write. I sure as hell won't approach one in person. It's over

>>17612871
if smelly water makes you happy and you didn't break the bank then you did not make a stupid purchase.

>>17612866
you sound like such a needy bitch lmao

>>17612800
Acqua Classica di Parma Borsari. An Italian classic that doesn't break the bank. It's in that same category of scents as 4711 and AdP Colonia. Not the greatest longevity but not the worst when it comes to citrus frags.

>>17612874
find pictures. Take pictures. Ask your mom to take pictures. You owe it to yourself to try harder to put yourself out there. Rejection gets easier to deal with the more you experience it, regret only becomes more crushing. You don't want to kill yourself, you want to be happy. Actually try.

Nobody who ever got angry over perfume wasn't gay

>>17612872
Thanks anon. Semi-related, what does it mean when I am the only one that can smell my fragrance? Even up close, people say they can't smell it on me, but I can smell it VERY strongly.

>>17612887
not sure, you might just have a strong sense of smell or pick up whatever notes strongly. Could also be dependent on where you spray and how much you spray. One spray on the chest and you might be smelling it very clearly but people around you may not pick it up unless they're buried in your chest.

>>17612875
Yeah but still, damn, this hobby is expensive and I don't even know how many years would take me to go through the perfumes I have

Anyhow , I just sampled nudiflorum and it's beautiful, what are you guys opinions on it?

>>17612900
I did 2 sprays, one on the left back side of my neck and one on the right back side of my neck. I can't stop smelling it, but I had my gf get in close for a hug, a handshake, and just standing close and she couldn't smell anything anytime. Same with my mother and father, so I don't know wtf is going on.

>>17612905
not sure but that's an indication you could go for more sprays without offending anyone if your goal is to get noticed as smelling nice. I would assume it's a lighter fresh scent you're spraying so 2 sprays is going really light.

>>17612871
what'd ya get anon?

>>17612933
Acrasia, Ganymede, Bois imperial and Portrait of a lady 10ml, none of them were blind buys.

Then 2ml samples of : Atomic rose by Initio, Tam Dao and tempo, both by Dyptique, patchouli by villoresi and Battito D´Ali by profumum roma

Will see how the samples turn out

>>17612949
>Ganymede
>mineral notes

I can't even imagine what that's like. Also I want the bitches I fuck to smell like acrasia. Not sure why you'd get it as a guy.

>>17612955
Why do you assume I'm a guy. I'm kidding I just wear what I like, I don't really believe in gendered perfumery

>>17612960
It's unisex I'm just saying I don't want to fuck guys.

How many sprays and where for Le Beau?
plus it's a bit too sweet to wear everyday desu so Im debating between montblanc explorer and the one.
Im a noob.

>>17613007
10 sprays into your mouth and down it with bleach

Had anyone tried Acqua Viva from Profumum? I'm looking for the best citrus frag out there.

>he doesn't have eau de skunk

/fa/ help me i can't get over how much i love this fragrance.

I thought it was stupid because I bought 8 different samples fro MFK, A bunch of aqua shit and oud satid mood that I didn't care about. Then I tried Gentle Fluidity Silver and Amyris Homme. I can't get over it. Silver is excellent. It's crisp, manly, stoic, gentle, and piercing, but Amyris is warm, inviting, soft, powerful, masculine, strong, and rich. I fukin love this stuff. It fires the same part of my brain that Layton does, and I can't get over it.

>>17612287
its really not, I was just hoping to find someone who also knows these things and isn't a youtuber to talk about them with.
>add all of your fragrances to relevant databases
I've found all of them on parfumo.net

thinking of visiting paris in august, are there any perfume related things i should visit?

>>17613141
so what do you need help with? pants go on your legs, not your head, if that's what you need help with.

>>17612949
>Ganymede, Bois imperial
redundant

>>17612534
Have you ever smelled habit rouge edc or leau? Neither of them smell powdery. Habit rouge edt smells powdery but that’s another fragrance. Caron pour un homme also is not powdery.

>>17613236
the only thing PUH and HR really have in common is vanilla

>>17612770
Kek I have a hard time believing you’ve smelled Guerlain vetiver and don’t think it smells like grass. Maybe stick with Dior homo or some gay Beaufort frags

>>17613233
Not really

>>17612507
I would pick Amber Absolute over Mitouko every day of the year. Looks like you never even tried AA.

>>17613287
my condolences, anosmia is a horribly underreported condition

>>17613243
I am another anon but guerlain vetiver doesnt smell like grass for sure. Vetiver extreme is pure grass smell tho

>>17613289
looks like someone is too dumb to get the concept of taste

>>17613293
I am another anon but you’re both retarded if you don’t think Guerlain vetiver smells like vetiver/grass

>>17611612
Kinda got bored of The One last winter. Ordered sauvage elixir at a discount for fall/winter season and probably done with the fragrances. Maybe gonna get a decant of ultra male, cuz my gf loves that sweet shit. But after that, not a penny more on the fancy smelling water

>>17613352
SMW is one of the worst things ive ever tried in my life

>>17613352
Damn I like how you store your samples, what kind of furniture is that?

>>17612955
To be honest I don't get the mineral notes at all on ganymide, for me it's vetiver and suede, mostly the latter

>>17613353
then you haven't tried the armaf clone of smw

>>17613353
I tested it multiple times and just loved, but when I bought it, kinda regretted. 170 euro for 100 ml is definitely not worth the 3-4 hours of longevity.
>>17613354
That's actually phone stand, lol. I couldn't find a test tube stand, wanted to make my own, but my drill broke in the process, so I ordered this thing
>>17613361
Can confirm. Although Sillage 6 times cheaper and SMW is definitely not 6 times better smelling than, but at least it's not that harsh

>>17613357
>suede, mostly the latter
that's akigalawood molecule

I look like pic rel but am really shy and quite person. Maybe even feminine inside
Any fragrance suggestions for me?

Why are Comme fragrances so damn good???

>>17613352
Gonna get a phone stand like that as well, because "random bag in a drawer" isn't cutting it for storing samples.

SOTD Dior Homme Intense
The 150 mL bottle I bought in November 2021 is almost empty. Time to get a new one.

>>17613389
How many young boys asses you fucked in it?

>>17613372
Interesting, good to know

>>17613390
Sorry, but a fragrance won't help you with that. You might have to work on yourself.

>>17613389
SOTD: Musc Impérial. Smells bitter, fruity green as ever. I like it a lot.

>>17613243
I didn't ask what you have a hard time with though retard.

>>17613374
tabac tabou

>>17613423
is that Ambar del Sur? I have a sample of that

SOTD

Valentino Uomo intense.

>>17613442
how does this compare to DHI and DHP?

>>17613437
No, it's Ambar Janma - Manusia Harum HMNS. I'm picking a note and clicking on random bottles I think look cool or come with a cool name. After that I read the full notes of each and discard the ones I know I wont like. Then I check if I'm able to get a sample. The autism is real. I'll check out Ambar del Sur next. This time I picked suede, so if anyone has recs I'm here.

>>17613447
Huh, what are those? I'm new to frags.

>>17613141
Amyris is too basic for this price point, especially since you'd have to go for extrait to actually get any performance out of it. GFS is far superior in both performance and scent profile and trust me - in the air it's equally inviting with the spices and woody, slightly vanillic drydown (if you don't spray on clothes or do only in summer to preserve the citrusy top notes)

>>17613451
dior homme intense and dior homme parfum. they're often closely compared to valentino uomo intense

>>17613451
Its flankers of eau Sauvage by channel

>>17613453
Haven't actually tried those. I think I have a Dior homo that I tried and was gifted awhile back. Comparing it to that one, I notice that it is different enough, and I like it better.

>>17613447
NTA but to me, VUI is way sweeter compared to DHI/DHP and has a different leather note than DHP (more "modern" handbag leather, it's a similar leather note as in e.g. 1 Million). It's good, but I prefer DHI and especially DHP. I think VUI lacks the woody base and uses that leather instead, although that is what makes it different and interesting in its own way. Worth testing at a store if iris is your thing, but not a must-have if you already own DHI/DHP.

>>17612879
>Take pictures
Everything I read says they should be pictures of you doing something, not just selfies. I don't do anything, so that won't work. Thanks anon but at 40 I'm gonna Kurt Cobain

>>17613456
I like the Valentino better that is.

>>17613470
Fake them. I had 2-3 pictures of myself and added 2 I made with a timer and tripod. I wasn't actually doing something, I was pretending to be doing something.

>>17613468
thanks. I'll definitely check it out if I get the chance, but by that description I don't think I'd like it more than my bottle of DHP. DHI was a bit too sweet for me in the drydown, if this is even sweeter and more gourmandish it'd probably be too much for my tastes
I really like the leather in DHP too, it's a little dark and smoky but doesn't completely dominate the fragrance

Drunk-purchase anon here.
>KILIAN - Apple Brandy
Smells like the wood in the sauna at my local public bath, mixed with chlorinated pool water. Although maybe slightly spiced pool water. The smell you get when you're at the highest, hottest seat in that sauna.

Smelled boozy right when I sprayed it but was gone almost immediately upon drying.

>>17613447
>how does this compare to DHI and DHP

Kissless Handholdless ErectileDysfunctionPenis 2022 by Quentin "Bitch" Tarantino

>>17613313
Yeah but it looks like I'm getting an object lesson in what happens when someone doesn't have any.

>>17613374
Stetson. It sounds tough and is marketed with all sorts of cowboy imagery, but it's a fairly feminine oriental in the style of youth dew or Tabu. I've got some on now and it smells like a hug from a grandfather (more concretely it has the coca-cola like smell of youth dew but dries down less powdery). A very warm and inviting scent, emphasising the nurturing aspects of masculinity. It's also quite cheap so you can go ham with it.

>>17613374
Caron Pour Un Homme?

>>17613509
Second time my fragrance boxes have damage on them and all they offered me was to let them know when I place an order next time, so they can put a coupon in there for my order after that. Implying there's gonna be a next order. Could have just given me a discount code right now even if it's like 5% or some shit. Thinking I'll bother getting in touch with you with my next order just so you can allegedly give me a discount and potentially make sure you don't damage my shit is crazy. I've spent so much money at this store and when I was about to drop 300 the last last time I ordered I asked for a discount code on IG, and they said they don't have any. Fair, you don't have to give me one necessarily, even though I've ordered so many times, but now you're telling me you do have codes, when you previously lied about it. Bitchass store. Pic related is not a big deal really, but if you can't remove a tag without fucking up the box, then fuck you. First time I didn't complain, but there's no reason for this to happen twice. I'd be ok if it was an accident, but at this point just don't have butter fingers.

>>17613516
Cant even get a sample in my area.
What about Royal Copenhagen?
Is it good replacement?

>>17613534
But why did they remove the tag? Seems a little bit fishy.

>>17613544
Probably just to hide the US price, but if I've already ordered and paid it shouldn't matter, because I've agreed to whatever they charged me.

>>17613535
I haven't tried it but judging from the notes it looks pleasant.

Not worth the hassle. I waited more than a month for these and I want to use them.

hey /fa/m could i get a rec for a mature coconut vanilla womens fragrance?

or a good womens frag for warmer weather

>>17613908
maybe you think it's too hard but it's not too late. You would rather be alive and happy than dead, so if you're planning on offing yourself you might as well try a little before you do. I would recommend seeing a therapist to work on your insecurities because you don't seem to think you are worth interacting with which is a gay cope for it being uncomfortable to put yourself out there. See a therapist and get a hobby, wagmi stop being a fag.
