Tom ford makes incomplete perfumery.

>tfw I was too late for the argument last thread

I just wanna say anon that despite imaginary faggots being faggots, they do have like 2-3 good fragrances. A city on fire which is top tier. Saint Julep is good if you want mint like that one anon. Sweet explosions is also good.

What's a popular NOTE you absolutely hate?

For me? It's Leather

>>17624485
for me it's aquatic notes

>>17624485
apple disfuckingustsme. Possibly because of its prevalence in cheap perfumes but I just fucking hate it

>>17624483
all garbage

>>17624485
Everything citrus can die in a fire. Also leather as a main note. It's trash. We've had this discussion already. If you're not wearing leather smelling like it is retarded.

>>17624507
City on fire is top tier.

>>17624485
Woody amber.

>>17624525
absolutely retarded

Thoughts on the Light Blue line? How good are they for summer?

>>17624537
Perfume for people who don't like perfume but inexplicably feel the need to wear it.

>>17624534
Say that to my face see what happens.

>>17624549
completely moronic

>>17624485
Most def apple. Makes a blue fragrance smell like Invictus. Like nowadays every aquatic fragrance smell like Invictus.

>>17624552
Are you familiar with the scent of blood from your nose?

>>17624556
incredibly stupid

Most based Blues

>>17624563
particularly foul

>>17624566
>owns Invictus and Profondo

>>17624569
i dont wanna hear about what garbage you have sitting in your closet buddy

>>17624539
Why?

incredible how the gothrock anon makes himself look like a retard due to him avatarfagging with his bad opinions. i dont think i can take anything he recommends serious. should've kept the personas apart. or acquired some taste beforehand.

>>17624557
It would be if you came up to me irl with that energy, yes.

>>17624572
Because it is uninteresting and we can, and must, do better.

Can't decide between Kouros, Drakkar Noir, or TLPH for today.
How would you compare today's Polo Green to Drakkar Noir?

>>17624572
it's very bland and safe

>i dont think i can take anything he recommends serious

Why is this ombre leather user so pressed like anyone cares? I'm not getting paid to feed people good taste. Like your loss nigga.

>>17624582
Nothing similar. Recent Polo Green start nice fresh, green, dries down to an urinal cake scent.
Drakkar Noir is the best Fougere DNA ever created. Fresh, green, the lavender gives it an unique twist.
I improved my DN bottle with some drop of oakmoss oils.

>>17624582
drakkar noir is more soapy, because of the dihydromyrcenol and lavender
polo is more in your face green, more macho and even more old school
haven't smelled polo in a while though so maybe I'm misremembering

>>17624587
>>17624590
Sounds interesting, I like the soapiness a lot so I'll stick with DN for now then.
It's a real pain trying to sample classic frags, even online stores hardly ever sell samples. Luckily the real goods are often cheapies as well.

Reminder to report the samefag that spams the thread

SOTD: BdC EDP

>>17624582
current polo green is quite weak, it's fresher than drakkar noir but with more tobacco. issue with both is that they dont last.
>>17624586
i own 0 TFs, try again. you've proven on multiple occasions that your taste is shit and that you're a newfag, please don't act like you know shit. if you want to share your shit taste, at least keep it separate from your shilling so people may take it serious for longer.

>>17624599
>everyone who likes different frags than me is the same person out to get me
Meds, now

>have tried 36 fragrances total out of which only 7 are worth a buy
>nooo why do you talk about and recommend only those few ones you like
>you are shilling nooo
>you should talk about the fragrances in this top 10 list by this one youtuber instead nooo

ideas for perfumes I can gift my GF?
she doesn't care about fragrances and will probably wear whatever I give her as long as it's not totally disgusting, she has no real preferences in this sphere. she's 23 and usually dresses trad

I've been thinking Shalimar or Chanel No. 19 so far... any other ideas?

>>17624614
Acrasia. Yesterday Haze.

>>17624614
>she doesn't care about fragrances
>she's 23 and usually dresses trad
Lalique L'Amour.

>>17624614
pic related or you can just ask at the frag store

Need something sharp, green, floral and musky. Is there something out there that combines florals (but not rose or iris), vetiver and musk?

>>17624625
Fathom V kind of.

How does he smell like?

>>17624629
Bleu de Chanel EdP

>>17624485
vanilla
coffee
chocolate

>>17624629

>>17624629
Like this thread.

>>17624471
Hope so, I think I'll get a discovery set from them too. Probably one that has options for the lady as well, she'd definitely enjoy some nice samples. And yeah that's a good one but honestly too sharp for me. Living in a colder country I've always reached for L'Homme for those summer office days, the ginger is addictive.

It might sound pretentious, but I don't think I'll buy a Chanel frag unless I'm in Paris

>>17624613
>7 out of 36
easy to please, huh?

>>17624580
utterly idiotic

>>17624711
sounds like your loss

u dumb retards are really missing out. at first i didnt like it, it smelled like an old lady. i think it was the neroli. but after trying it a second time the tea note really came through. such a smooth and wonderful fragrance. i almost threw it away but im glad i didnt

>>17624770
what an idiot lol

>>17624777
why?

>>17624770
I don't get jewed to buy "niche" that smell like designer. Kenzo homme smells so fucking good. Floral aquatic, slightly salty, dries down to a creamy sandalwood that reminds me of Akigalawood or Bois Imperial. Truely the best of the Kenzos. Intense smells like pickles, the parfume with too sweet leather.

>>17624789
take youre meds u fucking schizo and learn that just because its a large corp does not mean they have inferior products. u dont need to be contrarian for contrarian sake

>>17624781
>>17624793
lmfao moron

>>17624483
City On Fire is great but completely unwearable anywhere in public. Cannot possibly imagine using more than my 15ml - anyone who buys a bigger size is insane.

>>17624631
What do you like? Herbal notes?

>>17624714
No I just have 147 IQ and I pick samples wisely.

>>17624803
I don't get how you guys have such a low bar for wearable. There's nothing wrong with the fragrance. Do you maybe use 10 sprays or something? It's not the safest, sure, but it's very wearable. I wear it a lot personally and my penis is massive. I wouldn't wear it in the office, but still. Someone in here did say previously that Rien is unwearable so I don't even know anymore.

>>17624834
totally braindead

Ok Bros. Going to share a deep secret to look much more effay, others would pay millions for.
Saw an interview with Jeremy Fragrance:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCUUJoDSPjE
Essence of it is that someone must be in a state of constant hunger and pain. Like fucking girls but don't cum, fasting, literally restrain your fleshly needs, stop gaming-no instant Dopamin rush, literally live like a monk and your body will transform into Chad.
Think about it. When can have everything everywhere and everytime you want, you'll look like a bloated chubby female, because your test levels only will raise during hard times.
But because we live in easy times(no need to work, social welfare, fatty processed food, plastic in food, constant porn consumption etc.) most males look almost like females.
An easy, but deep pill to swallow.
>fragrance for this knowledge: Bogart Story Blue

Just got a decant of Tom Ford Noir Extreme and I like it but it smells too much of spices to me. I want to try Tom Ford Noir, any one have any notes on it and how it compares to extreme?

>>17624853
didnt read a single word of this

>>17624834
It's nothing new. High fashion can look fantastic in the right time and place, but wear it down the high street and you'll look like a tool. Some of the most beautifully designed homes would be an absolute nightmare to live in. Hold a party and start blasting Mozart over the speakers and you'll clear the place out.

The art is fantastic, but not all art is meant for the everyday.

>>17624860
>comparing imagitranny farters to mozart
roflmao, don’t kid yourself

>>17624860
A city on fire is the fashion equivalent of Schott leather jackets.

>>17624855
Noir is very very different. Not a gourmand at all, more of an old-school powdery-dry amber/patchouli scent.

>>17624861
Not specifically talking about ACOF, more just wearability in general. I've got a lot of lovely fragrances which I'll always enjoy on my own, but I'm never going to grab a drink wearing something like T-Rex/Indonesian Oud/London.

>>17624870
cretinous at heart

>>17624855
it's very different. it smells more similar to Shalimar than it does to Noir Extreme. I actually like it a lot more than Noir Extreme, which is alright but just smells like another designer vanilla gourmand to my nose, except at twice the price. but the public likes generic shit, so the Extreme flanker is more popular of course
it's always nice to see another spin at the Shalimar dna

Glad you're always on the hunt for handsome hunks to hold you down and pack your fudge, as they say

>want to buy a few frags
>notice none of my bottles are even half empty
I can't do it bros. money's not an issue, but I can't justify having more frags just to have different ways to smell good.

>>17624905
It's hilarious because I am supposed to be an INTJ allegedly, even though I don't believe in that shit, and that second paragraph sounds like something I would literally do.

So just to confirm before I order a sample, Musc Ravageur will attract milfs?

>>17625051
I hate citrus but if it's milfs I'm buying.

>>17625051
no, smelly water is not going to help you lose your virginity, no matter how much you lower your standards.

>>17625059
raucel ate a lemon while making the scent at most. no detectable citrus notes in there. and current formulation last like 3 hours

vetiver, from vetiveryl acetate especially.

Just ordered 10ml of Maison Margiela Sailing Day for the summer, idk how fucked I am by buying this but I got it for a huge discount, it was like only 15 bucks. Any anons that tried it? Opinions? How fucked am I?

Frags that its intended purpose is to smell nostalgic but not necessarily vintage?

>>17625189
Anon you'd have to buy a frag you used a long time ago for it to be nostalgic for you.

>>17625186
How fucked can you be, it's only 15 bucks

>>17625198

Oh I know Im just paranoid about blind buys no matter the cost, it's just me.

>>17625189
What about frags that smell like a fat PS2? Whoever had one knows.

>>17624467
what frag to get a gf like these?

After 30 minutes it smells pretty good, but within that 30 minutes it smells like shit.

>>17625208

LMAO

What are some colognes with a winter/bonfire/smokey/campfire/incense vibe. I really love the sound of Louis Vuitton Nuit de Feu but it's so pricey.

>>17624467
i bet all of those bitches have super thick, unkempt bushes

>>17625162
it smelled very all over the place to me
>>17625189
whatever people wore around you when you were young. for me it's tabac.
>>17625273
this post feels like bait

>>17625208
>What about frags that smell like a fat PS2? Whoever had one knows.
The original cdg play, NOT PLAY RED, smells like the inside of a vcr, has this hot circuit board odor that is unmistakable, i bought that shit in highschool i was way ahead of the game.
Opens with a really sharp citrus, then hot electronics, then a sort of white musk aquatic/ozone vibe, but not aquatic like aqua di gio or something, it's different. One of my favorite CDG frags, been discontinued for years but you can still find bottles on ebay occasionally

>>17625333
Half of these reviews are for play red because fagrantica posters are retarded

>>17625220
What's a fragrance that smells like this song?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su8X9T2KEWU

>>17625358
probably something really gay. try le male?

>>17625372
You might wanna stop exhibiting your terrible knowledge about fragrances in these threads all the time. Your posts are so easy to pick out with all the bad suggestions and takes.

>>17625376
it’s common knowledge that le male is gay, and the music you posted is also gay tranime crap. it just makes sense.

So guys i want to buy a tom ford as my next scent and i tried both tobacco vanilla and oud wood. I loved them both and i cannot decide between them. Im thinking oud wood would be a little better suited for me but i heard that it has performance issues. I would also like to try the tuscan leather and tobacco oud, is it worth it to order the 2 ml testers to try them all before deciding?

>>17625379
why are you set on a tom ford fragrance?
also, consider ombre leather as well

>>17625378
zoomer

>>17625385
time to dilate tranime sister

what kind of psyop is this tom ford posting over the last few threads?

>>17625386
No need to blog post about your next actions.

>>17625390
i have no need to dilate, i dont watch tranime music videos. you should worry more about your neovagina closing up sister

>>17625392
Nobody said anything about anime music videos, and we're on a thread about perfume. Are you mentally unstable?

>>17625319
>it smelled very all over the place to me
In what sense anon

>>17625395
you posted tranime right here sister >>17625358, have you already forgotten? it’s okay, this thread is welcoming of the demented and the retarded too

>>17625376
>le male isn't gay

>>17625399
No I didn't. What anime are you hallucinating? I'm confused at your autistic outburst.

>>17625400
Who are you quoting?

>>17625402
>Who are you quoting?
your mom

>>17625402
can’t you see the tranime garbage you posted in >>17625358 sister? it’s okay, being blind doesn’t exclude you from using 4chan or perfume! though i hear reddit is more accommodating of the disabled, maybe try there instead?

>>17625404
She didn't say that.

>>17625383
Because i want to have one "high end" scent in my collection. I tried the ombre leather but i didnt like it as much as the tobacco vanille and oud wood. I also tried noir and grey vetiver. I heard that noir extreme is much better so im also thinking about trying the small tester vial

>>17625406
Name the anime your schizo mind is seeing? Maybe we can get help for you. I don't get it.

>>17625388
You're going to hate what I'm about to post though.

Literally just bought TF Noir Extreme Parfum at retail, and I don't know how I pulled it off but didn't even pay the full retail, somehow a 24% discount was applied. I was apprehensive paying retail at first but holy fuck did the stars align

>>17625411
it’s in the youtube link right here sister >>17625358. don’t be shy, even if you can’t see it you can still listen to it.

>>17625415
That's not anime. Are you unwell?

>>17625417
sister, i know you’re blind, so allow me to inform you that the video in this post >>17625358 is indeed weeaboo tranime garbage, my dear sister.

>>17625419
So you're just a mentally ill newfag from reddit that will insist on shitting up the thread with spam? Got it. I'm going to bed though. Keep dancing I guess, monkey.

>>17625421
sister, i know you’re new here from reddit, but not everyone else here is. enjoy your rest and don’t forget to take your HRT before bed my dear tranime sister

>>17625426
post fragrance collection

>>17625429
weren’t you going to bed tranime sister? sleep tight!

>>17625410
tuscan leather is fairly similar to ombre leather
honestly I think most of the private blends are overpriced and you'd be better off looking at some more niche brands if you want something "high end"
I prefer the normal Noir to the Extreme, but the normies eat Extreme right up because it's less retro
if you want cheaper good quality scents similar to TV and OW, try Eau des Baux and maybe Malaki Oud (not that similar to either, but a bit similar to both of them)

>ducking the smoke
that's what i thought

>>17625432
tranime sister, i know you are unfortunately lacking your vision, but there are no ducks or smoke in this thread. this thread is about perfume, maybe try >>>/an/ for ducks instead?

It's sad when people own no fragrances yet insist on spewing their opinions on the matter.

>>17625410
then just get proper niche
>>17625412
at least you knew what you wanted and it wasn't just for the name

>>17625438

>>17625398
i found pepper, clary sage and patchouli to not go with each other, it felt a bit like a mess to me. and i'm usually indifferent to bergamot but found it too strong in tempo

>>17625379
>tuscan leather and tobacco oud,
They have nothing similar to TV and oud wood
Oud wood lasts 3hrs max on my skin
I suggest you to get TV for special occasions and get some <100$ frag for everyday use.

>>17625431
I dont want to get into niche perfumes ans brands because they are really hard to get in my country and i would rather much prefer smelling it beforehand in store than buying alot of testers to find something good for me

>*sniiiiiiiiiiiiifffffffff*
>Ahhhhhhh yes, you can really smell the vetiver, oakmoss, and patchouli. Oh my, the hedione and orris root dominate the drydown!
What the fuck do these things even smell like? How can you pick them out when they're not smells that even exist in your normal life?

>>17625520
you can buy absolutes of pretty much anything, that's how you sniff out the notes

this shit smells like laundry detergent
does NOT smell like mandarins

>>17625456
I have chanel egoiste platinum as my everyday scent and i want something like tv/ow for special ocassions

>>17625580
Fix your nose pls

>>17625584
I have idea for you
You can get full bottle of oud wood because you need a lot of sprays to project/increase longevity and atomizer with like 8-10ml of tobacco vanille

>>17625585
take this L homie

>>17625588
That sounds like a plan, thanks man

>>17625580
I've heard this one is similar to neroli portofino, which I like a lot. is it better?

Wanted a simple summer scent (pref citrus, ginger and cedar—YSL l’homme without all the tonka sweetness would be ideal) and I really thought Azzaro Chrome Sport was gonna be it. But the opening is just pure bell pepper smell... It’s fine once that settles down, but longevity isn’t great either. What should I try next? Wanted to keep it on the cheaper side, but kinda been eyeing Goldfield & Banks Bohemian Lime lately.

(Already tried and rejected: Versace Pour Homme, Prada L’Homme, Terre d’Hermes Eau Givree, L’eau d’Issey, Azzaro Chrome/Wanted/Wanted Tonic)

>>17625658
(Forgot, I also tried D&G light blue forever, not quite there but I would be interested in trying Italian love)

>>17625658
tom ford grey vetiver

>>17625662
The EDT?

>>17625658
>Prada L’Homme
why did you reject this one? it's simple and non-offensive

>>17625656
never smelled neroli portofino before but my god now i am smelling my arm again it reminds me of toilet fresheners - maybe i just dont like citrus-like fragrances but it smells pretty simple. exactly like toilet fresheners or laundry detergent

>>17625669
Wore my sample to the office and just ended up smelling like buttercream frosting all day, it was nice but too soft/sweet and not fresh enough for what I’m looking for.

>>17625668
I didn't even know there was an EDT. I have the EDP. I think there's a parfum out now but I haven't tried it.

>>17625016
Correct

>>17625133
Very inoffensive, very smooth, very green - a nice summer scent. Doesn't stand out much and doesn't project much, but it's a nice skin scent.

What do I think of Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit De L'homme Bleu Electrique?

>>17625763
very good

>>17625763
very bad

Nice basic bright green frag comin thru for spring and summer

>>17625801
at least you admit you’re basic

>>17625661
Try the eau intense.

>>17624485
Oud, both synthetic and real

Calone when it's done wrong

Citruses when they're done wrong

>>17625520
once you smell enough frags you can learn to identify the notes
want to identify vetiver? smell guerlain vetiver and encre noire
want to identify patchouli? smell jovoy psychedelique and narciso rodriguez for him

and of course you can easily find essential oils and incenses made with these. patchouli is especially common

>>17625672
that's because it's a clone of 4711, a very old fragrance that's been cloned for some household products as well
bit ridiculous to release a 300$ clone of a 10$ fragrance, but that's tom ford for you

>>17625763
very sad that """fragrance enthusiasts""" were hyped for it

I impulse bought this from the chemist because I liked the bottle turns out it's incredibly delicious

>>17625925
yes, it's a classic. if it had better performance it'd be god tier

What’s up homies

Looking to get into a few sample sets- who is making interesting stuff atm? I’ve been on a normie odyssey with newbae for about a year now and want to get back into the interesting shit

I tried a bunch of Cloon Keens (not for me), and I got the Essential Parfums sample set since you folks shill it so much (pretty good).

>>17625931
the ELDO set is popular

>>17625932
Fuck yeah great suggestion. I like Fat Electrician but haven’t tried anything else

Copped

>>17625925

I had this for the winter, it's really good but like the anon said it doesn't last long. It's really good price wise though. A 30ml bottle lasted me the half autumn and the whole winter and still got left, and I pretty much used it everyday.

>>17625925
yes, smell is really good
performance below average but on other hand it wont annoy you to death like TF TV or dior homme parfum

>>17625960
dior homme parfum does hang around for a long, long time, doesn't it?
fortunately it changes quite a bit on my skin, so it doesn't get boring for me

>>17625763
One of the few I've bought additional bottles of. Amazing

>>17625966
>dior homme parfum does hang around for a long, long time, doesn't it?
Yes, its around 12 hours on my skin and it starts to annoys me 4-5 hours after apply time
>fortunately it changes quite a bit on my skin, so it doesn't get boring for me
on me its same scent after 30-45 min

>>17625993
>on me its same scent after 30-45 min
for me it goes from more of a smoky leather to a dark rose to a sweeter sandalwood and chocolate kind of deal

What are some nice cheapies for summer? Should I get L12.12? Want something youthful and fresh but not a generic citrus bomb like Chrome

>>17626013
encre noire sport is nice

>>17625763
one of the few i’ve destroyed additional bottles of. garbage

>>17626036
Is it weird to normies? I don't mind a certain level of uniqueness but I'm still going for a daily driver for summer

>>17626013
Carven L'eau Intense. Blind bought it (50ml), and love it around $40-45 US. For super cheap in the same vein Faconnable for about $15-20 US.

>>17626067
My dad likes it so much he's gone through a whole bottle in less than a year, and he has very normie taste. I think it's significantly more accessible than normal EN. Only downside is poor performance, but that's understandable for a cheap freshie.

>>17625736
my bottle's almost empty, gotta restock soon. really good for summer.

Eros EDP yay or nay?

>>17626126
yay to testing it at a store

>>17626127
I have already tested it (only the opening). I lost the paper and couldn't smell the dry down. It's on discount and summer is here. Just wondering if any anons have experience with it

Does applying vaseline or some sort of moisturizing lotion on your skin before applying perfumes actually work and increases the longevity of the scent or is it just a bait and meme?

Your fav blue fagrance?

>>17626070
Faconnable is really nice, especially if you search for something minty.

My little collection

>Lomani Pour Homme:
Basically a Drakkar Noir clone, I can feel a hint of Cool Water too.
>Loewe 7:
Incense, clove, and green apple. I have the old version, the new one have different bottle and less clove and more apple. For me, It's the best designer incense ever made.
>CH Men Privé
Whiskey, grapefruit, and leather. Made to please women and nothing more. A little bit boring but you’re gonna get compliments.
>Davidoff Zino
My latest addition, smells much more modern than I expected. The dry down is extraordinary, try it, does not smell like grandpa. If Beau De Jour smells like this I want to try it.
>Lalique Hommage a l'homme
A nice alternative to Dior Fahrenheit, quieter and with a dry down reminiscent of YSL L'Homme. For me it is a mix between those two fragrances. Rare combination, I know. Sadly discontinued.
>Dunhill Century
Santal 33 but cleaner and more neroli based. One of those "niche designers" perfumes like Encre Noire.
>Encre Noire Sport
Aquatic vetiver, You probably have it. My favorite of the whole line but with a very poor duration.
>Chanel Allure Homme Edtion Blanche
Meh. I may be a reformulation autist, but Chanel destroyed this perfume.
2 hours on skin and quality much worse than previous versions. Don’t buy it.
>Ferragamo Acqua Essenziale Colonia
Acqua di Parma Colonia with ambroxan.

>>17626121
would you say it's redundant if I already have Grey Vetiver? other anon's description, while I'm sure it doesn't actually smell like Grey Vetiver, sounds like they have a similar vibe

>>17626175
quite horrid

>>17626178
i don't actually know grey vetiver

>>17626097
Might try it
What about something less earthy, without vetiver?

i think we should add https://www.lesecretdumarais.com/en/ to the 'W2C samples' part of the OP, they have a pretty good selection with relatively good prices, free EU shipping after a modest amount spent, etc. - and ofc samples for most frags sold
any objections?
>inb4 paid shill
that would be great

why is every fragrance youtuber ugly? really detracts from the scents they shill

Your favorite blue fragrance?

Faconnable is a nice minty scent.

That one Asian guy is kind of handsome. The one who reviewed citron noir recently.

>>17626237
I just found him. is he a good reviewer? only person I enjoy watching is aaron terrance hughes. never felt like he's just trying to sell some shit a house sent him.

>>17626238
I think he's better than chaos fragrances, Jeremy and gents scents, but worse than the gay dragon from basenotes

>>17625925
prob the best for its price, really good in winter&autumn

What does she smell like?

>>17626309
Secretions Magnifiques

>>17626161
I'm leaning towards meme, but lotion is a good thing to do otherwise
if something doesn't last, concentrate sprays in fewer places. spray, let it dry, spray again, repeat until you've got a visible shiny residue on the spot. I've made Varvatos - Dark Rebel actually perform okay by doing this.

>>17625763
got compliments on it

>>17625960
>TF TV
what's wrong with it
i liked it when i smelled it

>>17626328
Its good by I tend to dislike every fragrance with linear smell that lasts on me over 5-6 hours mark and still project

>>17626318
i dont how how to put this but normalfags don’t know or give a shit about autistic niche fragrances

>>17626359
it went over your head anon

>>17626359
in my head she smells like my Secretions Magnifiques if you catch my drift

>>17626309
Hmmmm based Barbie... she smell a mix between Kenzo Homme and Wood Sage & Sea Salt

>>17625051
No, Ted Lapidus Pour Homme and Bogart One Man Show will

I gave the Xerjoff Italica I blind bought to my mom. She's trying to watch her weight and said she uses it now to satisfy her craving for sweets. Going to be an expensive habit tbhf

Anyone try Kenzo Marine? The newest Bisch

>>17626583
It's similar to Kenzo Homme Intense, but lighter, more airy. The pickled note is muchs ofter.
Most based is the original Kenzo Homme. Love that shit.

>>17626583
lol dumbass bisch

>>17626309
Victoria Secret Bombshell Eau de Parfum

>>17626583
which Givaudan™ materials did he use this time?

>>17626595
muchs ofter? so its more similar to bois/ganymede than the others? ive never tried the original. the 90s one?

>>17626627
Yes the 90s one, but's reworked in the new bamboo bottle. 90s Kenzo smells like soft floral aquatic with creamy sandalwood in the drydown, reminds me of Akigalawood/Bois Imperial.
Kenzo Marine is similar to the Intense, but more airy, aquatic, it still has the pickled cucumber note from the intense.

From Schizo to Schizo, need help bro:
Everytime i eat salty crackers i get horny as fuck for white girls. Especially the saltened side of a cracker reminds me of a sweaty, pink-white feet sole of a white girl.
For that reason eating crackers literally is like watching porn. Should i be concerned?
>fragrance for this feel Kenzo Homme

>>17626675
you should definitely be concerned, and you should lay off the porn. if you can't even eat a salty cracker without thinking about licking feet then something is wrong

cop yatagan for 48€? it's been over a year now since the last time that it was sub 46€...

I want to smell like this and it has to last all day. Any recommendations?

some nigga on a german forum quoted turin (translated to german), i checked his profile and he gave jules a 10, owns kouros, all dior hommes, bunch of chanel and drakkar noir. willing to bet he posts here

>>17626675
you have worms in your blood and you have to let them out.

>>17624467
This last less than an hour being noticeable, its a batch from 2017. Zara perfumes last more than this.

Anyone else had bad luck with this one ? its my first Paco Rabanne and likely the last one.

How long does it take for fragrances to expire? Not sure if my YSL la nuit de l'homme expired - as i havent smelled it in ages but it smells woody/like a campfire/ashy. Got it as a gift back in 2016 iirc

>>17626719
The stuff that sits in the straw too long usually smells bad, did you give it a few sprays to clear it out first?

>>17626727
Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow with some more sprays but I did spray like 3 or 4 times with it already in my room but it still smells the same
Don't want to perfume bomb my room at night

Is the coconut in this too strong? Some reviews say it's the dominat note but others say that you barely feel it.

>>17625189
>Bully
:)
>no GTA Vice City
:(

>>17626178
They're quite different - grey vetiver really is mostly vetiver, so very clean and linear to me. The Le Labo is much brighter and greener, so having both wouldn't be redundant. Le Labo is more of a daytime scent to me, Grey Vetiver more of an afternoon/evening

>>17626192
Robin James (Man For Himself) has always been pretty consistently based/unbiased for me. Decent channel for other things as well.

>>17626328
It's good but would smell better as a candle desu

Because it was so popular the scent has been copied a ton and now it doesn't smell as unique - a shame

Should I get a new bottle of Eau Sauvage or try getting a vintage one? Is there that big of a difference? I've read some people say it used to be way better, I've read some say it's not worth it

>>17626716
Are you sure you aren't going anosmic from it?
It is a 6 year old bottle though, maybe it went bad from improper storage.

>>17626719
It can go bad in like 3 years without climate control.
If it is stored in the sunlight even quicker.

silly question; what fragrance would a rockstar wear? you know, leather, bikes and all that shit.
thanks a lot

>>17626900

>>17626799
go for the vintage, it’s not hard to find and it really is much more virile

>>17626900
something incredibly gay in a leatherman type of way, so drakkar noir, kouros or antaeus

I pity the fool who doesn't wear DRAKKAR NOIR

>>17626917
hey buddy, leather club’s two blocks down

>>17626132
test the dry down and if you still like it, buy it
>on discount
even better

There was a woman - in her 30s perhaps but very cute - who had a very good fragrance review channel on youtube until the late 2010s when she stopped. I believe she had industry experience or something like that, but I cannot remember the channel name.

Any ideas bros?

>>17625208
Neandertal Light

>>17627032
I know Ashley in Paris is a trained perfumer, but I think she's younger than that and her channel is still up
there was also a woman with a french accent, whose name escapes me. and the woman The Perfum Guy did a collab video with once, she seemed quite cool, though a bit older I think. the one who really liked animalics and patchouli

Thoughts on the Hermès "Eau de" and "Concentre de" lines? I tried them and Voyage several years ago and the only thing I remember is that they smelled amazingly natural, fruity and fresh fresh in a very realistic way. Which are the best of the line? Are there other frags like this from other brands (not niche)?

>>17627065
they're good, but they don't last very long (which is kind of by design, they're supposed to be fresh and airy eau de colognes)
I think eau de rhubarbe is my favorite, rhubarb is kind of a rare note in perfumery and it smells really nice there
the Jardin line is also worth taking a look at if you like this sort of style. my favorite from that is Sur le Nil, which also performs better than the Eaus
the Guerlain line "aqua allegoria" has similar fragrances. "pamplelune" from that series was Luca Turin's favorite greapfruit fragrance and I agree that it smells great, a very hyperrealistic grapefruit with the zest and all

>>17627050
I was Katie Puckrik. I remembered having watched some of her videos around the time I started learning about fragrances. Want to revisit it now.

>>17627072
That's too bad, I'd like something with a bit of longevity. How bad is it?
And thanks for the recs, I'm looking for something for summer that doesn't smell like floor cleaner or mosquito repellent and it's surprisingly hard to find a good designer frag that isn't just generic citrus + shitty marine notes #1827282

Ever since I started wearing cologne, gay men have been mean to me and give me shade. I am straight. Why do they hate me?

I wear Acqua Di Gio Profumo

>>17627085
because you’re not wearing kouros, drakkar noir, antaeus or le male

>>17627082
>it's surprisingly hard to find a good designer frag that isn't just generic citrus + shitty marine notes
I agree, I have the same problem with summer freshies
Try Grey Vetiver and Platinum Egoiste. Terre d'Hermes and Dior Homme Sport could also fit your needs
You could also go more old school with Cerruti 1881. Or if you like the 4711 DNA (and it doesn't smell like floor cleaner to you), you could spend 10$ on Neroli Intense

>>17627085
Because you're overspraying your shitty Febreze-smelling aquatic

>>17627098
This. Profumo smelled like floorcleaner to me. Never get the hype. The original AdG smells nice, tho.

I got lataffa asad and afnan rare carbon. Did I fuck up. I like ombre leather and sauvage elixir

>>17627100
>>17627098
i only sprayed twice!

>>17627106
can’t fuck up any further than you already have so i’d say you have nothing to worry about

>>17627085
Because you wear acqua Di goyslop

>>17626996
The nice Scottish accent, he's from Edinburgh. As opposed to the incomprehensible one from glasgeeeewwww

>>17627085
you are appropriating their culture by wearing perfume, anon
you should have already known this if you are browsing /fa/
>pic very much related

>>17627120
the other ppl who replied to me were mean too they must be gay

thank anon

>>17627124
i wasnt being mean, i was just pointing out that gay men would like you a lot more if you smelled more like them ;)

>>17627128
you were nice

>>17627094
I disliked Dior homme sport, too citrusy, I liked the subtle sweet spiciness of the elemi but the bergamot takes too much of a center role, as far as citruses go I much prefer grapefruit and orange
Platinum egoiste is a bit old school for my taste; too barbershop-y maybe.

Auschads it's getting cold, time for Spicebomb Extreme

>>17627085
Gay people are mentally ill by nature, pay them no attention.

Is it worth 160 euro for a tester?

>>17627169
creed sucks cock

>>17627169
def not, buy it (or creed in general) only if you need street cred with some fine indian gentlemen

>>17626930
>>17626940
I have several. Stay mad.

>>17626759
on tester stripe I can feel coconut but on my skin I can only smell vanilla and tonka

>>17626900
easy pick

>>17627212
yes but which one is your favorite

>>17627138
Have you tried the normal Dior Homme? That one is less citrussy
I still think your best bet for non-aquatic, lasting summer fragrances is vetiver stuff btw.

>>17626188
Caron pour un homme leau or just Caron pour un homme

>>17627219
What do you consider a vetiver fragrance? One with it as the main note, or every fragrance that has it?

>>17627248
the former, for the same reason that no one considers habit rouge to be a citrus fragrance

>>17627252
I guess Encre Noire then.

>>17627263
ahem…. lalique? more like LOLique

>>17627265
Lmao. Well I wouldn't consider either terror nor tauer 02 vetiver fragrances personally, but I'd put them in.

>>17627266
tauer 02 is absolutely not a vetiver

>>17627228
I have. Didn't like the woods, the frag itself felt overly simplistic and not very natural compared to the Hermès stuff.

NEW THREAD
>>17627269
>>17627269
>>17627269

>>17627267
Exactly. The note is just listed in there.

>>17625658
they say the mancera cirtus frags have decent longevity, but i haven't tried them myself

>>17625925
it's great, but performance is the worst, especially for a cold weather scent. it's like the entire scent profile is just fresh spicy, and then it's gone in 2.5 hours

>>17626192
frag mental isn't ugly and the girls are all nice looking jus de rose or whatever her name is

>>17627032
there's a black girl too , i think she looks mixed to me. she's great, but i forget her name
