simple as

going to order some ambergris, hyraceum, musk, castoreum and civet oil

I unironically love the hefty dose of presumably ambroxide in Aventus, where can I get more? Has anyone tried picrel?

didnt find the Eau Sauvage at my local store so im going to buy it blind from amazon

hope im not making a stupid mistake

>>17614677
there's probably better places to get it than Amazon

Tired of modern citrus-ambroxan stinkers. I go with some calone.

>>17614707
New west was the first perfume to use calone in significant amounts I believe

post your mood and SOTD
tired just thinking about the next 6 hours
Machrie by Arran Aromatics

>>17614677
probably not, it is a classic for a reason
look around for a good deal and that's it

Best fragrance to attract a horny milf as a young guy?

>>17614784
Musc Ravager of course

My flight just got delayed so I got 400 euros as compensation. Just picked up a bottle of Eau Sauvage from the airport. A bit too citrussy imo but it's essentially for free so I can't complain.

>>17614784

Any fragrance suggestions for me?

Good suggestion was Stetson(Royal Copenhagen)

I dont like dior fahrenheit because for me it smells like cucumber lotion

>>17614816
Oud Attar

>>17614816
do you want it to compliment your looks or your character?

I am going to blindbuy this. Is it right fragbros???

>>17614861
Neroli Intense is cheap enough to justify a blind buy.
But you should test PRPH first.

why is mont blanc individuel so cheap, and why did they discontinue it

>>17614816
Portrait of a lady unironically

>>17614826
I guess both
Currently I have toy boy and prada lhomme leau but I feel it looks weird on me
>>17614878
I tried it. Its really expensive for what it is. Smell was pleasant but nothing special.

>>17614633
if eau sauvage parfum didn’t have eau sauvage in the name no one would give 2 shits about it

>>17614872
There is no place to try out things like that in my country.

why does nobody talk about house dunhill, they have some good ones

>>17614677
if a classic green citrus and jasmine fragrance for hot weather is what you want, it's not a bad idea
if you want something modern-smelling or with good performance though, that's not it
>>17614888
I kind of agree, they smell nothing alike to me. if I wanted a stronger, less summery alternative to Eau Sauvage, Boucheron Pour Homme would be closer

>>17614737
I'm sick and wearing Neroli Intense for its light, comforting nature. it's really impossible to be annoyed by this fragrance, it's always just soft, pleasant and refreshing
>>17614861
Neroli Intense is a safe blind buy, especially if you know what 4711 or Neroli Portofino smell like. it costs less than some samples of niche stuff lmao

>>17614901
people talk about Icon. it's true that noone talks about their other fragrances though

I want my package to arrive today aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
By the way is it me or all Francesca Bianchi fragrances smell the fucking same

>>17614919
many people say she has a certain "DNA" that's in most of her frags. might have something to do with the fact that she wasn't trained by one of the big fragrance schools

>>17614861
you should get bogart signature instead of prph desu senpai
>>17614885
please never wear toyboy again
try lagerfeld classic
>>17614901
i like for men but it's discontinued

>>17614920
that’s a very nice way of saying guerlinade by a dilettante

>>17614926
I've never smelled a single one of her frags so I have no opinion on them, but it's nice to a complete outsider to the industry get somewhat big without being a youtuber or relying on celebrity marketing or some other bullshit

>>17614930
*nice for a complete outsider to the industry to get somewhat big

Glad that he go...

>>17614966
my condolences for your anosmia

>>17614967
Nah, the tonka and vanilla ruins it for me.

>>17614971
both poor taste and anosmic enough to think that an 80s aromatic fougere has anything in common with a modern day aromatic oriental citrus. how unfortunate

>>17614973
NYI is literally modernized 80s aromatic fougere. That's probably my problem.

>>17614980
NYI isn’t even a fougere to begin with, you are a moron

>>17614962
Based Luca realising that modern perfumery is god awful.

>>17614920
Tauer for example also has that ambery base that he uses in most of his fragrances, but with bianchi is something different. It's not certain DNA, it's just that after the opening the fragrances on the drydown are extremely similar.

Like you can smell the quality of the compositions, but seems like artesany at this point. Autopilot compositions

I really really really can't wait to finish work today so I can take an hour long shower and set myself straight. Might spray some Tauer after just because too.

You guys know of any underrated, overlooked summer frags? Looking for some hidden gems here.

What would you recommend for a dog? Especially to make her sexy and feminine.

Thoughts on Trumper Sandalwood?

>>17615330
Box and bottle look cool so the fragrance must be good too. This is always true. Nobody can find me a bad fragrance in a cool bottle or the other way around.

>>17615317
Voyage d'Hermes Parfum
Despite being >10 years old, it has never really "lifted off". It's great for summer, though, and not unsourceable.

>>17615330
Smells like you'd expect from a smooth sandalwood frag. Like Egoiste without the christmas spices.

No idea but I found some chick on Etsy selling 71 year old Sandalwood oil...I want it.

Never worn parfume in my life. Is this good?

>>17615357

>>17615333
I know you're being fecetious, but it made me think what scents have a bottle vs scent discrepancy to me

scents I like in bottles I dislike:
>Voyage d'Hermes (the swiveling is dumb and the bottle is too weird-looking)
>Cerruti 1881 (looks okay at a distance, but the cap is ugly and the bottle feels cheap in a way)
>Neroli Intense (not terrible but visibly cheap and the cap flops around)

scents I dislike in bottles I like:
>Prada L'Homme
bottle looks great and feels great in hand. the cap is nice and heavy. the fragrance is not my thing, very powdery and sweet, like dior homme original with none of the charm or complexity
>Versace Eros
the bottle is very kitschy but fun, looks like something from Scarface. the fragrance smells like a 16 year old who's trying and failing to score

>>17615317
Some anon was shilling Carven L'Eau Intense, and I blind bought it. Pretty good and fresh with orange notes. Seemed to have pretty good projection and longevity as well. Reminded me of a more coherent/posh version of Facconable.

40knots is actually good

I feel it similar to Dior Homme drydown, is it the cedar?

I need your advice /frag/.
Imagine modern day kouros and its clean, bright opening, the white laundry, the soap, the fresh menthol/eucalyptus note, the smooth florals. What's a frag that stays like this all the way instead of going into deep smoky leather and spices and piss and shit?
I really like putting this on after a shower just for the amazing opening. Sometimes I also enjoy the dirt but not always.

>>17615365
I need images. Not reading all of this. Nothing personal though.

>>17615379
Butthurt Eros sprayer detected.

I am late 20s and just got a new job that allows fragrances, which I've never had before. I'd like to start wearing fragrances at work.

I am a somewhat androgynous male stoner, and I tend to get by in life by being cute and helpless on purpose because people find joy in helping me. I'd like my presence to be calming and pleasant for others- typically I've relied on good-smelling shampoo but I want to up my game.

Would also like date-night recommendations

>>17615386
I don't know what eros is.

>>17615328
i hope he writes a book. Thumbs Up.
>>17615330
i like the shaving soap
>>17615317

>>17615370
unironically dakar lord. it's a tamer kouros

>>17615387
Saint Julep.

>>17615393
>unironically dakar lord
i mean al-rehab lord. all the dakar posting i saw gave me brain damage

>>17615365
how about some moschino windex bottles

>>17614925
omar is obsessed with it, gives it a 10/10 in countless videos.

cartier declaration literally smells like a bar of soap . who would want to smell like this

>>17615330
Notes are very similar to Zino, which is an amazing cheapie. Probably a good pickup.

>>17615424
natsumeku or lord? they're both good but not 10/10s. natsumeku probably has the best yuzu note though.
also who is omar?
>>17615436
it really doesn't smell like zino at all

>>17615435
this probably just means that you've used a soap that was scented to resemble Declaration at some point in your life
there are fragrances that are supposed to smell like soap, but Declaration is not one of them

Can someone tell me if Bois Imperial or Ganymede are similar to Bisch fragances on Kenzo? Because I don't like that line.

>>17615468
haven't smelled ganymede, but BI isn't really similar to the Kenzo frags to my nose

>>17615366
Finally someone listened.

>>17615379
NTA, but alright, here. The cap of Neroli Intense doesn't sit snug on the bottle, it can wiggle around. The flip bottle of Voyage is actually pretty cool, in my opinion (didn't peel off the sticker yet). Regular Prada L'Homme bottle is see-through on the front, so you can see the silver-painted back, but I couldn't deliver that one, since I only have the Intense version.

>>17615468
you can safely skip them all if you dislike the kenzo ones.

>>17615476
can't forget the issey caps
fucking dogshit

>>17615481
Only ever had Nuit d'Issey Noir Argent (based frag, I emptied it and when I wanted to buy it again it was already discontinued). Cap was a bit big, but it wasn't complete shit.

>>17615121
sorry for your retardation

>>17615328
unironically this autistic ass homo is the only other perfume writer i can take seriously. what a fucking state perfume criticism is in.

>>17615468
Only worth Kenzo is the OG Kenzo Homme. The one with huge calone and pine.
If you want the best one with Akigalawood: Bois Imperial

>>17615468
They don't smell similar at all

Bisch is not a one trick pony

>>17615126
Fuck off
Blonde white>latina>asian=black girls

>>17615460
Declaration has iris similar to the one that Prada uses, so that anon is not a noselet, it does smell soapy

>>17615393
>>17615412
Sounds interesting but I'm worried by the comparisons to lapidus. I don't really want a tamer kouros so much as a specific part of kouros.
I'll probably buy it anyway though, they're practically giving that shit away. Thanks for the rec.

Noticed the Eau Sauvage parfum in the OP for this general I never enter.
Anyone give me a QRD on whether or not this is available? I had a bottle about a decade ago but haven't seen it for sale since. I have fond memories associated with it.

>>17615560
It's still available (although it might depend on your country).

>>17615568
I see.
Was getting mixed info from every search. Some online stores were selling it but the Dior site only listed the cologne version.
When I travel then. Thanks.

>>17615560
yes, it's available, but somewhat limited release just like dior homme parfum. it got changed a bit though from how it was a decade ago, in 2017 to be exact. main difference is supposedly that they removed some of the myrrh and added elemi
you can tell the two versions apart by the fact that the name plate in the old one was black and it's silver in the current version

>>17615510
>>17615514
Anime is not real life. Touch some grass.

>>17615500
i really see no parallels to lapidus, it's much closer to kouros. all the honey in lapidus is lacking in lord.
well your description sounds like you want the clean part of kouros, that's tamer for me. but yes, at that price you should give it a try

I haven't worn a cologne in my entire life

>>17615629

Beaufort Iron Duke

>>17615476
Indeed, i couldn't find a decant for it, but everything I read about it was positive. The notes jived with other thing I liked so I figured why not. I've bought stupider things for more money, but this turned out well.

>>17615629
Why not? Fragrance has a much stronger connection to memory. Why don't you want to be memorable?

ireally enjoy the DNA but hate the performance. can you recommend me a similar type of fragrance?

modern YSL fragrances are for ESLs

>>17615614
Idk bro. I work with an Asian girl and she looks nothing like that. I dream of spreading her little yellow butt cheeks

>>17615596
>change
I was afraid of that. I am under the impression that in the past decade the EU has enforced all sorts of bs restrictions on ingredients. eg. oakmoss? is verboten I believe.
I quite liked the heavy, citrusy(?) scent of the bottle I had.
Will have to smell the new one.
As long as it doesn't smell like someone bled a diabetic into a bottle, I'll probably like it. I can't abide the sickly sweet scents that have become popular in the past what, 15 years? I hate it. I hate it on women, I especially hate it in mens stuff.
Thanks for the clarification.

what fragrances would jeets wear

I know very little about fragrances and would greatly appreciate recommendations

>age early 20s

>i enjoy citrus, musk, vanilla notes
>don’t care for something overly spicy, woodsy or floral
>most likely will be wearing to class / work but would also appreciate recommendation for something to stand out for date night / evening wear
>would prefer something feminine / androgynous
>price range <$135

>>17616028
what, you want something for a date night out with gay guys?

>>17616033
would prefer something more appealing to straight and or bisexual guys as well but if you already had a fragrance in mind go ahead ig

>>17616110

go to a store and test some frags, you can look up something you think you'd like online beforehand or you can just blind test whatever you like the looks off. or ask the staff

>>17615742
While it's true that the EU can be blamed for some things (like in the case of oakmoss), it is mostly self-imposed restrictions by the IFRA. For example, there's no restriction on the use of coumarin in fragrances by anyone except for the IFRA. They do that a lot, for some reason, yet they lobby to prevent the prohibition of other stuff. They could make Le Male like they used to, but the IFRA decided against that. And to add a little schizo stuff, I think the IFRA bans anything that's cheap and lasts long and then lobbies for stuff that can't be produced synthetically for less than the natural material would cost. Can't get those cheap powerhouses, gotta protect the margins. In fact, the EU started an investigation into a whole bunch of fragrance materials, then threw out lilial, lyral, atranol and chloratranol and kept a whole bunch of other materials in - which then got restricted by the IFRA. Articles from that time talk about how the "EU wants to restrict a whole bunch of materials", but in the end, they only restricted a few (and then the IFRA fucked the rest). You can cross-reference stuff from the IFRA website with the ECHA website - for example, I just randomly picked hexyl salicylate. It is restricted by the IFRA and the ECHA has monitored it but said in their final report that it ain't of concern.
I'm not deep enough into this shit (yet), but I feel like I want to blame the IFRA more than the EU at this point.

>>17616028
Straight up go to a store and test stuff. You need a baseline.

Smells like guerlain oud something. The Guerlain is better but also isn’t great. Both have that synthetic oud smell.

>>17614633
Based. Make sure you test out the classic Caron classics too. Specifically, pour un homme, le3, and yatagan.

I was working on my car and now I'm wondering. Is there any fragrance with fresh tire and alluminium shift knob notes? Alongside something else of course. Maybe vetiver, iris, and gunpowder. What if I could get essences of these notes and mix my own? Original idea by me, please don't steal.

Bois Imperial - Very good
Ganymede extrait - redudant, literally similar to Ganymede
Sous Le Pont Mirabeau Etat Libre d'Orange - Literally Santal33, Lattafa Wajood is also a good alternative

>>17616434
Why would I force myself to like it when the decant cost me like six euros and I have like another fifty? . The last thing I wanna do is fit with the faggots here shilling "manly" stuff, but Bois imperial is good and reasonably cheap.

Terre dhermes is also good and universally loved. Don't know what you are on about at this point

Hello. I’m a large man, masculine in most facets and dress. For fall and winter, I enjoy a vanilla-based scent, with fun overtones (eg tobacco/spices/cinnamon/you get the point).

I’m looking for a fun, sweetish-summer fragrance, but not cloying. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

am i being psyop'd by fragrantica again?
>i like it :(

>>17616456
Sorry, I'm not seeing it unless they're SE asian dogs

>>17616478
fuck if i know, fuck if i care. the only reviewers i take seriously are luca turin and the basenotes gay dragon

What is this fragrance/frag note that i keep smelling in the street?
It's not ambroxan as ive smelled that in fragrances and i know how it smells like.

Basically it's like green, a bit dark and somewhat sweet. Is it oakmoss? Patchouli? Seems common but I've never smelled it in any dept store when i tested fragrances. But also I'm not very experienced.

>>17616487
Probably Kenzo Homme Intense. That green, bitter sandalwood is popular now.

got this heavily discounted
my room smells summery now and unironically cant wait to wear this in the summer

I'm in the market for a summer fragance and I happen to have a gift card for a local store. I checked their catalog and pic related is what I could buy. Which one is more would you buy? Noteworthy mentioning that I have the original Le male. Also the heat in my area right now is close to its all time high

i have a £100 end voucher do i buy a full bottle of by the fireplace

>>17616631
why would you buy it now when summer and warm weather is coming up

>>17616632
because its the only one on the site im interested in

>>17616622
Good morning, sirs. I fucked up my post. Any advice tho?

>>17616622
Idk, do you want to smell like a grapefruit or a Pina Colada?

Grandpa frag. Wear’s that meme used for Guerlain vetiver? We need to expand the scope

>>17616649
I don't care as long as it has good performance and makes latinas horny.

fucking cant find LDDM anymore. i put all my frags in the same shelf and it's not there, spent 2 hours searching the whole house but couldn't find it. it's so fucking over...

>>17616706
fuck...
check under your clothes or behind the shelf
also, it's like 120EUR so buy another bottle or maybe upgrade to ACDD so you won't have two bottles of LDDM if you inevitably find it 10 seconds after you made the purchase
>pic related, this is what you need to find

>>17616706
>>17616731
I found LDDM too heavy and spicy(?)
when are you supposed to wear it

>>17616706
did you check your fridge?

Should I blind buy dior eau sauvage 2012 if I like 2017?

>>17616750
you mean the parfum? where did you find the 2012 version?

>>17616755
Yes, parfum. I have like local version of ebay in my country

>>17616735
yeah, it's a heavy and spicy scent, so there's that
i think it's a perfect fit for more formal events (concerts, theater, exhibitions, etc.), but it's equally great for a date or for a night out with friends
i can't wait to test it during the summer

>>17616706
i forgot to ask the all important question: frags for this feel?
>>17616731
triple checked everywhere. it must be somewhere because i dont think i ever put it outside. i might get ACDD next as a change, but don't want to spend that much now.
it's seriously fucking with my head though, i'm very restless because i can't find it. usually i place my fragrances very carefully because the pain of dropping one bottle still is deep
>>17616735
i wear it whenever i feel like it

>>17616622
DG is much better for the summer

>>17616622
Also just get Hawas or Hunter Intense

>>17616760
haven't smelled the 2012. I know opinions are divided on which is better, but if the price is right it could be a somewhat rare opportunity to get a discontinued scent you're fairly likely to enjoy

How come Hermes perfumes aren't very expensive? Hermes as a whole is incredibly high-end luxury, right? And Tom Ford seem to get away with charging exorbitant sums for their smelly water.

LDDM

>>17616819
this is in line with most other designer brands though. I guess they've discovered that they can reach way more consumers that way and it doesn't cheapen their brand too much because it's seen as very separate from the clothing and accessories. and it's not like 70$ per bottle or whatever is very cheap anyway, I'm sure the profit margins are big
Versace is also pretty expensive, yet you can get Blue Jeans for like 20$

Alright update on my samples, tried a few more of them.

Ones I will buy for sure: Armani SWY Intensely, Mont Blanc Legend, Versace Eros Flame, Amber Pour Homme.

These should be pretty versatile for all occasions but am I missing anything and where should I go from here?

>>17616831
Nah but I think I actually got a fake one, it says N-83 on mine and has some weird geometry lines on the front and it wears off after like 5 minutes.

>>17616831
looks legit to me, what makes you think its fake

>>17616875
>What makes you think its fake
>>17616846
The box. Also. When I spray it very close to the skin it smella a lot like alcohol. I do feel the smell of apple, cucumber and fruits that everyone talks about but it is very weak. I'm not sure if I got too hyped and thought this would have a powerful smell at it's price point .

>>17616880
not sure what's weird about the box. type in the batch code on a batch code checker and it will tell you the year its made.

coty makes the fragrance and the fragrance is weak. it DOES have decent longevity (6 hrs? more on skin) but you have to spray many many times, like overspray it. that's the price you pay for only paying 20 bucks or even less. if you can find it on sale at a marshalls or Ross for like 16, it's better that way because you will go through the bottle twice as fast as better quality fragrances. i still like and wear Voyage but you DO have to "over"spray it

>>17616819
You could argue that their fragrances are still on the higher end of the designer price range same as their clothes compared to other brands.
People always say that about Chanel how "oh you're never gonna find chanel on a discount" but go ahead and try to find TDH Parfum below retail.

idk,, jeremy says its "super musky" but i only smelled green green green when i smelled it, the cut grass note came through for me but not much else

>>17616882
>Not sure what's weird about the box
The 3.3 FL OZ units. Batch code is the same in the box and the bottle. The cap is plastic, I'm not sure if it is supposes ti be metal. It is not loose but it does not have a tight grip.

how i shop at fragrance store
can i spray them on my hand or do they have special things or what

>>17616916
cap hasnt' been metal since over 10 years ago if it ever was

3.3 fl oz is a full bottle
check the batch code online

>>17616899
fair enough but my point still stands that you're still gonna spend 30% more than what one could expect looking at flagships from Dior, Gucci etc

>>17615435
Why does soap smell like soap?

>>17616917
they usually have blotters . if they don't , you can use your own skin on different parts of body, so like wrist, forearm , upper arm - you could test like 6 different fragrances this way

>>17615435
Almost all hyped fragrances smell overly sweet. Almlmost piercing sweet.
Who want to smell like this?
I rather smell like fresh out the shower, like soap...

>>17616917
they have little paper strips, but spraying it on your skin is more accurate to how it will actually smell and develop on you
and the most accurate is spraying it on your neck like you usually would and smelling the sillage throughout the day

>>17616922
interesting, they're usually a bit cheaper than Dior over here and noticably cheaper than Chanel. maybe Hermes is more expensive outside of Europe

>>17616941
idk a little too powdery and for me it to smell like soap makes me feel like i didn't rinse myself off well enough or something

>>17616920
Batch code says it waa made in 2021. One and a half years ago.

>>17616947
in the US hermes is a little pricey. it's not niche pricey but still harder to get deals on it. if a regular designer frag retails for 90 dollars, hermes will be like at least 125 or maybe 130.

discounters you can get it for maybe 80 or 90 when a regular designer frag you can maybe get for 40-60

>>17616947
>>17616953
Yeah, you're both right. I didn't account for their retarded location specific pricing policies.

I'm looking for a classic masculin "aromatic" but everything I tried is either too bright, slightly sweet and metallic like Platinum Egoiste (almost reminiscent of Fierce and Percival) or too manly and heavy like Masculin Pluriel. is there something in between?

>>17616568
It's based. People would care more for it if it wasn't released under the Eau Sauvage name, since it isn't like Eau Sauvage.

hes a nigger

i used to shill for the german parfumo site but holy shit, their moderation is pure aids. i got banned from writing statements and reviews, had no idea for what reason because i got no email or anything. in the chat i was trying to find out if there was maintenance or some shit and the mod just banned me with no comment. i was trying to talk to her in dms, just wanting to know for how long and why they restricted my account. the femoid wasn't able to give me that simple answer or back her decision. just used "mods can punish you even if it's not against the rules" as a copout. give women an ounce of authority and the, start power tripping. fuck, even jannies are better than that. what a shithole.

Rook Forest, smells really nice, could be stronger

anyone know anything about burberry signature collection?

im interested in Ivy Musk from 2018, but can't find on fragrantica, there's literally nothing on youtube about it

>>17617129
ok i found out more, apparently its called "bespoke" collection and it was some gimmick that you could only purchase in burberry boutiques. ivy musk sounds pretty nice tho at a 35% concentration, might possibly get a burberry scent that lasts more than 4 hours

Any suggestions for a more unique scent that is sort of similar to TF Tobacco Vanilla? I guess I like the fact that it's a vanilla scent that it leans masculine because of the tobacco. Especially like that the vanilla stays and lasts.

>>17617154
the newer formulations of TV are disgustingly sweet, I really enjoyed the dank nicotine in earlier batches. anyhow, see following
>vanilla flash, tauer- a better version of TV imo in all ways (has some rose thrown in though)
>tobacco rose, papillon (it's a very green rose, but takes a little time to appreciate)
>la rhapsodie noire, dusita - combines aspects of gourmands, tobacco and fougeres. it has the same sweetness as TV, but clearly more sophisticated
>arbole arbole, hiram green - again clear vanilla frag, but more toned down. i really loved this and the background behind the name, but already own PHI which is so similar that this becomes redundant

>>17617154
Persons of Interest Tabac Noir or Havana Conference, HC is the dirtier of the two. Both really good and the gf complimented both of them. Really good sillage and longevity.

>Varanis Ridari
What kind of autism is this? He has 500 bottles, but most of his frags are normalfag shit, countless flankers and fucking Montale.

>>17617260
he’s reviewed almost everything and anything you can think of aside from stuff that’s too recent. doesn’t really matter what his collection is.

>>17617274
To me it is like being a michelin star inspector while willingly eating microwaved frozen food or a fat fitness coach...

>>17617281
luca turin is closer to a michelin star inspector, varanis has no pretense of being any sort of high critic and is more open to trying literally anything you throw at him.

How are there Americans selling frags with ambergris in it. How are they selling straight up chunks of ambergris and ambergris tinctures? I thought it was majorly illegal there.

>>17617260
he doesn't care for what is trendy or "cool" to have. and he really likes rating a lot of calvin klein and Avon fragrances for some reason. so half the time he's trashing some hyped pseudo-niche perfume while wearing a forgotten Avon fragrance or ck one flanker that no one remembers

>>17617514
unironically based, hypechasing nichetards deserve to get humiliated by a gay furry

>>17617187
I had that happen more than once by now. Happened with Hanae Mori HiM, for example, in which I took an interest and then it was just fucking gone, and Nuit d'Issey Noir Argent just after my decant ran out as well as CH Mystery Tobacco. Fucking hell.

>>17617260
He's got good insight into vintage formulations of stuff. He's some sysadmin dude who sits in a basement surrounded by cables and shit and as long as all systems are running nobody bothers him, so he reviews fragrances. He doesn't do it for financial gain, he doesn't do it for the likes or views (even on IG he's below 1k followers), he doesn't chase compliments and he doesn't care about brands or niche. The reviews are elaborate enough to get some idea of what the fragrance might be comparable to and whether or not the current formulations are fine, combined with some background history from time to time. It makes him one of the most trustworthy reviewers, as he simply doesn't care about clicks or public perception in any way. He sniffs stuff and then writes down his personal opinion.

>>17617537
i really like his background stories. helps to connect different frags

>the greatest active fragrance critic of our time is a lonely, fat, gay furry

I am 0% snob myself and the only thing I am looking for in fragrance is interesting associations which you can sperg out into a whole moodboard aesthetic imagery network, so I can relive it and amplify it every time I wear a particular fragrance or anchor it to a certain place or activity. I have smelled Frederic Malle counter and was severely disappointed, same for samples of Xerjoff I got my hands on and I was if anything positively biased. I would wear something I know several people made negative remarks on just because it goes together with a rainy weather and petrichor. Nonetheless, I really don't understand how the fuck can he come back to locker-room-core after all of nice niche he got his hands on for reviews. I get the allure of having some saint-like guy who rejected earthly delights stand for objective truth. He doesn't go very far from technical approach of providing brief historical parallels, listing notes and some aroma chemicals which lets be real is not giving you much even if you smelled all of them and has a huge chance to be fiction unless he has a chromatograph in his basement.
I liked reading kafkaesqueblog reviews of SL while I was sampling the same frags and they were quite good even if we differed in preferences. Also random russian telegram channels where it is just a brief associations dump, with a small description of what is actually sticking out to them personally. This is great to pique interest and even better if the offered interpretation ends up matching in your head, kind of like a less cheesy ELDO route offered to you as an alternative to hyping up based on notes or genre.

i want to smell COOL and CRAZY and FUN and INTERESTING i want to smell like DISNEYALNDS PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN, i want to smell like i just chopped down a tree, i want to smell like i just baked some bread
