I feel you Anon, i had sample if Elysium Eau Intense and smells like a cheap designer. Literally makes me question the taste of the masses and youtubers.

Is JPG le beau le parfum worth it? Want a nice tropical fragrance that will be strong and last all day.

Anyone has tried Maison Matine before? It's a small French brand - and it has never been mentioned in /fa/ before according to warosu

Their bottles are rad but I can't find anything on it except a few fragnatica reviews on some of their more popular stuff

>>17630437
*i have a sample of Elysium Eau Intense
Fucking mobile posting

When I was younger my dad used to wear Kenzo's L'Eau Indigo Pour Homme and I fucking loved that frag
But it's discontinued now. Anyone know if the current L'Eau Pour Homme by Kenzo is close to it?

>>17630437
>>17630132
Check out Gentle Fluidity Silver. Not that much cheaper but it has a similar vibe with the prominent citrusy juniper and you get very good performance and a much more unique scent profile.

Ebano is quite woody. 7/10.
Not a fan of myrrh 4/10

Wouldn't buy either again though. Big fan of intensia and exzensa, fico di Amalfi just the longevity sucks. Ebano has good longevity

Gothrock fragrances.

To be fair i get a very slight headache from smelling Le Male?
The dry down is good but the opening gives me some headaches

This nigga in the last thread said le male was leathery

>>17630636
I did and?

This is the best rose frag ive ever smelled. Super natural jammy, slightly bloody rose. Toy boy, declarations soir, and Hermann are atrocious imo.

>>17630641

>>17630638

>>17630642
Do tell, because le male smells of a slight leather accord to me

I'm wearing Encre Noire Lalique for Men

What do I think of it?

this is my fragrance wishilist

Sorry but I only trust their reviews

>>17630655
lol this nigga listening to soijaks

>>17630564
Fluidity Silver was on my watchlist since ages. Didn't pull the trigger on it because it was shilled by normies. But i def should try it out.

>>17630654
bleu noir is like declaration with musk. I want to try the Parfum too. all the wanted are boring sweet shit. mancera is all shit. l'homme ideal is okay.

>>17630655
Not only do they look like total faggots. The one guys name is fucking myles. That's a faggotito

>>17630668
bleu noir in reviews has been labeled as a winter scent which makes me kinda not want to buy it right now?

>>17630693
my nigga just got that kenzo edp and ordered a sample of the OG

>>17630732
true, thats why i dont bathe

I recently tried out a decant of Encre Noire and really liked it. All internet reviews talk about it being very dark, but what I got was bitter citrus, like grapefruit, with vetiver/iso-e.
Anyone know of other fragrances with smell like bitter citrus?

I had an incredible compliment from my boss at the office the other day. I layered whispers in the library and molecule 01, she told me she loved that the office was smelling beautiful

What kind of fragrance am I missing? Taking recs.
Own and love:
Grey Vetiver (everday, office), Aventus (special occasions), Fat Electrician (office, more so in colder weather), Encre Noire (nights out w/ wife).
Gonna go to a Scent Room shortly to check out some niche shit.

>>17630739
that was probably EN Sport

>>17630700

Blue de Chanel Parfum

>>17630825
I wouldn't wear any of those at the office desu, they are way too loud

>>17630872
grey vetiver is too loud for the office? really?

>>17630872
grey vetiver isn't loud at all. I only wear that and fat electrician into the office, but no more than 3 sprays for fat electrician because the gourmandness of it can be a bit loud
>>17630854
alright then. pick a good one for me to sample
https://www.thescentroom.com/

>>17630825
Missing some Terre d'Hermes tbqh. Gotta catch all the vetivers.

>>17630956
wouldn't it be redundant to get more vetiver? or is tdh distinct enough? it kinda feels like coincidence that I ended up with 3 vetiver fragrances. none of them smell similar to me

>>17630941
i'm not here to spoonfeed you, you're a grown man.

>>17630967
it's pretty distinct, not really a typical vetiver fragrance. almost more about the orange, pepper and Iso E than vetiver, but the vetiver is there too. I think you're likely to enjoy it

>>17630900
>>17630941
Yes it is, but that might be my way of seeing it. Offices are really small places with some humidity and mild temperature. Everything that is not a subtle white musky, iris, or soapy fragrance will feel invasive. Vetiver is too incisive of a note for a close space for eight hours

>>17630587
SOTD Bleu de Chanel. Also, Chanel's shipping is insanely fucking fast. I bought the bottle Thursday online, and it was sitting on my front porch Friday midmorning.

>>17631116
They're pretty good, I've got 1725, 1740, 1828, Ambre 114, and Noir Patchouli travel bottles. 1828 is a nice fresh citrus, the licorice note in 1725 isn't really strong which is nice, it is well blended, 1740 is a smooth amber/leather/woody scent, Ambre 114 almost has a bug spray note but it dies down and the drydown is nice, Noir Patchouli is...patchouli

>American Republicanism fragrance
It might evoke notions of strength, tradition, and classic values. It could be a blend that combines elements such as warm and woody notes representing stability and rootedness, with hints of invigorating freshness to symbolize dynamism and optimism.
What does American Republicanism smell like?
Picrel is my best guess.

Opinions about chanel allure edition blanche edp or tom ford mandarino di amalfi as a summer scent?

>>17631273
>chanel allure edition blanche edp
Doesn't last, you'd have to over spray and use iso e super.

>>17631273
edition blanche is not bad. both are kind of overpriced for what they are though

>>17630825
I've returned. I sampled a lot, maybe about 16 or so. Will likely get a bottle of afgano and naxos at some point. I threw away most of my testers and this is what I have left:
40 Knots - 6/10. Overhyped. All that hype just to smell like laundry detergent.
Reflection - 8/10. Yea, it's safe and niche. Not much to say. Kinda boring
Roja Vetiver - 4/10 because it's basically Grey Vetiver but over double the price
Naxos - 9.5/10. Absolutely beautiful, but maybe a bit too loud/heavy/gourmandy for me to wear confidently.
Squid - 5/10. It smells like ink
P33 - 9/10. Smells great, but $450? Nope.
Black Afgano - 9/10. Usually hate oud but this is beautiful

Reporting on my Ganymede blind buy. Loving it so far, rather different than I expected, yet very much a spacy scent I think would be appropriate to the moon.

Got opinions from 3 girls around 20 and one around 40 (all strangers friends) and it is highly girl approved. Incidentally it's also the first time I've ever gotten a frag compliment without asking first.

>>17631291
this and EB is waaaaayyyyyy over hyped. I don't think ive ever seen a more uninventive frag get so much praise

>>17631298
I agree, it's pleasant but boring. kind of like most modern Chanel, but Bleu is unironically more interesting despite being so widespread. I don't like the whole Allure line honestly
Platinum Egoiste is better too from the house

>>17631302
100%. Bleu is way better and has more going on. EB is just a boring lemon/bergamot with a dash of vanilla/vetiver and dogshit performance. The tonka in AHSEE is dark synthetic and nauseating. The OG AHS is okay in really hot weather, but also shit performance. BdC edt or edp are the only new Chanels I'd get. Parfum is overpriced imo for how similar to the edp it is.

Best TDH?

How the fuck am I supposed to use these little shits they don’t even have a spray nozzle

>>17631388
the original EDT to me. EDP is very similar and not worth the price difference for my tastes

>>17631392
Let me know what you think of beramote. was thinking of trying it out

>>17631396
I don’t even know how to apply it brother. doesn’t have an atomizer

i might be doing it wrong, put i take the cap off, place the entire bottle against my skin and turn the bottle and my body so the liquid touches

Are you actually retarded?

Man Eau Fraiche smell like shitty soap, and is a big waste of time and money. It open floral with a sliiiiiiiight citrus zest and a very soapy profile that hangs on for ~4 hours then fucks off entirely.

Have Azzaro Parfum and got Guerlain Lhomme Ideal today

Azzaro Parfum is a good winter/date scent but I find it is *almost* too sweet.

Lhomme ideal is probably one of the most interesting things I’ve smelled. It smells like a makeup bag or a cherry vanilla cola, and dries down to a leathery incense. I like it.

>>17631414
c'mon bro you know these things suck dick

>>17630857
nah i got the bleu edp and its a really more formal bleu frag

>>17631466
>Lhomme ideal is probably one of the most interesting things I’ve smelled. It smells like a makeup bag or a cherry vanilla cola, and dries down to a leathery incense. I like it.
that sounds nice, what seasons would you wear it? which occasions?

>>17631487
NTA, but autumn, winter and spring. it's pretty sweet, but it's a good fragrance, one of the better if you want a sweet, easy to like date scent

>>17631495
thanks non, i might get it when were back at autumn then!

SPrayed Le male on my arm yesterday, went for a shower. The drydown is still on my skin, it smells very nice but very wintery.
The opening gave me headaches...

>>17631487
Apparently it’s a fall/winter/date scent but I wore it today to work and it’s surprisingly airy and light and I personally think it could be a signature scent worn daily. 3 sprays and it projected well and I caught whiffs of it for 7 hours.

>>17631508
what's the weather like in your part of the world atm then?

>>17631510
70s-80s I live in the Midwest, USA. Pleasant weather low humidity.

funnily enough, both of the women I went on fragrance shop dates with remarked that the bottle is really tacky, completely unprompted

>>17631516
I thought it was more airy but yeah jpg fragrances are generally more for autumn/winter

>>17631392
Fucking hate those things. The price difference between one of those and one with a spray cap has to be like 1 cent per bottle or something, there is no good reason to not put samples into something you can spray from.

>>17631466
>Azzaro Parfum
This could be 6 different fragrances. You have to narrow it down. Same with L'Homme Ideal - was it the EdT or EdP?

>>17631502
Fragrances cannot cause headaches, only trigger migraines (there have been multiple studies on the subject). Headaches from fragrances comes from auto-suggestion - at some point in the past, you associated getting a headache with spraying a fragrance, even though they were unrelated, and now your mind correlates them and gives you headaches from time to time. It's probably the most common psychosomatic disease there is, because headaches are easily triggered by the body. In most cases, it's stress-related, which is why it has become such a common occurence in e.g. the fragrantica comments. People have started blind-buying frags and when they don't like them, the realization of having wasted money induces stress and gives them a headache, after which they will comment "this gives me a headache :( ". Not saying it's like that in your case, but if you can rid yourself of the association of headaches with fragrances, they might stop giving you headaches.

>>17631532
which one of these are you wearing in this time of the year?

>>17631539
Le male is definitely the only blind buy that triggers headaches for me anon

>>17631541
Dior Homme, BDC, haven’t worn CDNIM yet. I don’t have a true summer frag yet and I’m open to suggestions.

>>17631566
i got the adg edp its okay but armani generally to me at least smells artifical af

>>17630642
Smells like dried rose potpourri to me and doesn't project at all. Maybe it has better performance if it's sprayed, but Serge's discovery set is with splash vial and they move unpopular fragrances to bell jars all of the time. I want to try the old version with pepper and geranium.

>>17631565
No they suck because you are homosexual and probably fat.

MORNING SIR

>>17631597
it is kind of green, but definitely lighter and less earthy than terre d'hermes. a "green tea with lemon and fresh cardamom in a forest meadow" scent if I were to describe it in a slightly gay fragrantica way. very underrated and easy to like I think
>>17631599
it's a unisex release but I think it definitely leans masculine. reminds me of Declaration a bit

>>17631604
>green tea with lemon and fresh cardamom in a forest meadow
sounds calm, inviting and mysterious? the bottle looks weird to be honest but, a green tea fragrance for summer? sounds cool

>>17631605
yeah it's calming and really accessible while not being generic at all
it's also fun that it's a spicy fragrance that's pretty refreshing and good in the summer. Declaration, Voyage and Terre are similar in that, but Voyage is the lightest and most refreshing

>>17631622
i might just grab a smaller bottle then cheers!

Fun anecdote. I was at the gym a few years ago, and there was the buff as fuck dude that smell 100% like campbells chicken noodle soup in the dry packet. I thought I was going nuts, but every time homeboy used a machine/ free weights near me I got a whif of the chicken noodle I used to eat when I was sick. Always wondered wtf was up with his body chemistry.

>it's too niche to wear
yea no way. it's surprisingly very smooth, but, like you said, I only put one spray on the tester. I don't really get the cannabis note, and the drydown is just this heavenly, sophisticated oudy smell. I think this one is going to be a must-have when I age a few more years. I'm a bit too young to pull it off.
>>17632055
Most fragrances that have an oud accord don't actually have oud. Real oud is ridiculously expensive. It just smells like a smokey, resinous wood. I associate it with middle eastern scents.
>>17632034
I initially rated it a 5/10 but after sleeping on it, I'm bumping it up to an 8/10 because of its creativity and scent profile matching what it's going for. The opening is really offputting. Overall, a hoe-scarer.

>>17632057
they call it urinal cake for a reason. gay guys are really fond of the smell of each others’ waste matter, both solid and liquid.

>>17632042
a scale from wearable to wearable? doesn't make sense anon-kun. the 3 i tried were alright.
>>17632069
boring but i didnt find any cdg particularly good

>>17632077
The hashish is in there (which is a bit different than the skunky cannibis smell). If you think about a somewhat wood ash smell while sniffing it then you'll find the mildly piney incense smell that is the hashish they were going for. At least thats my impression. I disagree in that I think it's an age agnostic scent, but I was wearing Escada Pour Homme (considered an old man scent) when I was 19 too.

>>17632101
NTA, so it's more of a scent for smoker?

>>17632097
do you think people will hate me for wearing cdg anon...

>>17630675
I like it, I’m the anon that posted it. But it’s sort of sweet bananas, with a nice metalic sort of sweetness to it. Shit performs like a monster in warmer weather like 9 plus hours in cali

>>17632118
What type of guy would you recommend this one?

>>17632101
admittedly I've never smelled hashish; we don't really get it here in the US. I can sense a piney smell for sure. sadly, I look like I'm 20 and kinda twinkish despite being 30. fuck, I think I'm just going to pull the trigger on it. the tester strip still smells so good

>>17632121
my 24 year old friend who looks like a nordic twink wears Black Afgano as his signature scent. I think it smells too "niche" to give old guy vibes. helps if you dress in all black or edgy though

I wouldn't say that. I think its much more of a foray into new and interesting scents that the mainstream prefumers haven't really tried. The frag itself doesn't require you to be a full on 420 blaze it person to appreciate the complexity. I've smoked pot like maybe 4 or 5 times in my life, and quit tobacco 18 years ago but I can definitely appreciate what they were going for.
>>17632121
I feel you on that, I'm 45 and just last friday had my first non-card alcohol purchase. It's a blessing to look younger than you are so enjoy it! I'm in the US too, so if you've got friends that periodically smoke resin, thats essentially a dirty version of hashish. Hashish is made by hanging the bud folded in some raw cotton or linen cloth till the sap (hashish) runs out into the cloth. Then you use some type of easily evaporatible solvent (acetone, denatured alcohol) to extract the hash from the cloth. It's a fussy and involved process, but if you live in a legal state it might be worth your while to try it if only for the scent.

GOOD MORNING SIR

Making fun of pajeets is not a personality.

>>17632061
It's one of the most beautiful and important mens perfumes of all time. Have some fucking respect.

>>17632278
literally every review man, woman alike say its old af

>>17631012
congrats anon
you rocking the EDT or EDP?

>>17631012
>>17632287
nta, got only the edp, fels like its a more formal bleu frag

>>17632170
Maybe other people wont like it? I am so retarded and autistic

>>17632311
a-anon, you don't care what lesser people think about you, r-right?

>>17632097
Which ones did you try? I was interested in the more aromatic ones like Amber Kiso and St Vetyver.

>>17632320
not these, just the ones i saw in stores. e, 2 man, wonderwood, blackpeppee, concrete, the whole incense line, etc.

>>17632219
how long have you been here that you're 45? I've been here since 2009, and back then it felt like most people were around my age

>>17632331
I meant from DS & Durga

>>17632345
sorry it's late. i tried mississippi medicine, isle rider and butter rose. the last one i liked the most, probably my favorite rose scent. the other two were alright but forgettable

thoughts on this?
i like the name

>>17632288
>formal
imo EDP is the best of the BdC line
very versatile and inoffensive in professional and casual settings
the ultimate "it just works" frag

>>17632120
Me (the anon) I’m messing. I’d recommend it for summer and spring and if you want to stand apart from the typical warmer weather frags. Also helps to be fit and handsome

What is the most intense frag you can get for under 100 bucks ?

>>17632461
intense how? there's a lot

>>17632339
Around 2008, but "You never leave" is for real. Truthfully, my board focus changes based on what I'm interested in at the time. This site is suprisingly good at cutting through bullshit if you've got the right mindset. Right now I'm interested in travel and fashion. Previously it was random, guns, pol, supernatural, fit, guns, fit, pol, guns, artwork/critique, guns, artwork/critique, fashion and travel. So I'm trying to be a well rounded individual.

>>17632467
Intense as in it engulfs a room in its smell and lasts very long

>>17632478
axe, hold the spray for 10 seconds

>>17632461
Sounds like you need some DRAKKAR NOIR

I've sampled several different fragrances and have found quite a few I personally like. I'd like to buy an actual bottle now, but I'm socially inept and reading reviews for stuff has made it hard to choose what to buy. A lot of stuff I like is recommended in cold weather, but it's late spring now, and I'm a noselet, so I usually personally like the really strong scents, but apparently a lot of those are meant to be "sensual" and are for date nights. A final problem is that a lot of the stuff I like are apparently more feminine, and I'm worried people might think I'm gay for wearing them. The ones I've considered buying are:
>L'Homme Ideal Extreme (Guerlain)
>Hazel Cognac (Niche4All)
>Italica (Xerjoff)
>Dulce Diablo (Narcotica)
>Wicked Good (Gallagher)
>Sunsplosion (Simone Andreoli)
>Cocktails & Catamarans (Scent Journey)
>The Most Wanted Parfum (Azzaro)
>Stronger with You Intensely (Giorgio Armani)
I'm leaning closest towards Most Wanted since it's decisively masculine, but the reviews say it's more for sensual moments in cold weather. What would be best for a straight man to wear to a Memorial Day cookout, for example?

I wore a light Encore Noir Lalique and went on a hike in the forest, smelt great the whole way

I am this fucking close to just buying some essential oils and making my own fragrance. I don't need to make it complex, like rose with some spices and vetiver.

>>17632882
The Chrome Extreme(similar to Profondo shit) yes, your typical bubblegumy invictus style of shit.
The Chrome parfum, really good. It blew out of the water, woody, aromatic, backbone ambroxan, aquatic. They got rid of the bubblegum, citrus shitshow. Really good.

What do I think of it?

Latest stuff I randomly sampled:
>Reuzel Wood & Spice Solid Cologne
I gotta check this again, but it reminds me of Spicebomb Extreme. Like if somebody turned SBE into a scented candle - that waxy smell combined with SBE. It's good, although I haven't tested longevity/sillage yet.
>This is Him! Undressed
Somebody took This is Him and then dropped a soapy floral designer fragrance on top. The DNA is there, but it strays too far from This is Him. It's okay at best and certainly one of the fragrances of all time, but I feel like I have smelled it before. Some fragrance I've smelled before + This is Him = Undressed. Need to figure out which frag it is that I'm smelling in this. Until then, ignore this release and just get This is Him.

>>17632461
6 bottles of Giorgio for Men. Cool Water Intense if you don't mind something sweet and fruity. Why am I suggesting these cheapies? Because there is a lot of powerful stuff you can find below 100 bucks that fills a room, and these are the most powerful cheapies I can think of right now. Other than that, check out the Eros line-up from Versace.

>Provide your age range.

summer in south Italy, near the sea
>Provide your ideal price range for buying a recommended frag.
as cheap as possible, small bottles are fine
>Provide some details on what type of scent you are looking for (favorite notes and accords, hated notes and accords, etc.)
i'm a compete novice, but i think i'd like citrus or other bitter fruits
dislike earthy and smoky and woody
>Provide some details on your intended aesthetic and setting for wearing a scent (frag for school, the office, dates, casual daily wear, etc.)
marriage, not mine
and possibly during the few days i'll be staying there

thanks bros would love the advice

Missoni Wave
Missoni Parfum Pour Homme
Both available for cheap in 30 mL bottles.

>>17632923
Thinking of getting an inexpensive fresh Vetiver scent for the summer
Thoughts on Encre Noire Sport Vs Monotheme Vetiver Bourbon?

>>17632951
JeP Neroli Intense for soapy citrus and white flowers. Very cheap

Should I get kenzo edt
Is it weird or still mass pleasing

Can anyone recommend a strong, true sea salt/saltwater frag that I can layer with Olympea to get that kick back?
New formula is like a pressed powder version of what it used to be - All powdery white florals with a salt afterthought, not a clean hit of salt and green floral like it used to be.

>>17632951
acqua di gio is literally made for south Italy inspired by south Italy

Damn bros I got a box but I don't know what it is. It should be fragrance judging by the sender, but I was expecting a much much bigger one. I'm so confused.

Guys any ideas for a fragrance for
>summer nights
?

>>17633075
There's no way my order fits in this little box. That's literally impossible.

>>17633075
opppppppen iiiiiiit let me iiiiiin i hope its creed

>>17632459
Not yet fit but i do lift so, i might pick up a small bottle then!

currently got the adg edp on it's 25°C here, man it sure is a refreshing scent for warmer weather

>>17633088
It's not creed but I see what happened and why I got confused. I had ordered a Francesca Bianci wife, but instead I got a discovery set. Well at least she addressed me on the little card and signed it. Pretty soulful. I haven't had any other house do that. Based on that alone I might cop a frag. Never tried creed either, so if you got any recs of samples I should get I'm here.

>>17633100
huh well anon? how does it smell?

>>17633076
Literally Drakkar Noir or Dakar
>>17633093
It's ok, but not great

i know, got hawas for him in the mail so waiting for that

>>Drakkar

>>17633104
I was about to tell you but I realized I'm out of papers. I have like 2 literally. Should I go to the mall to steal a handful like I always do, or do you guys have other suggestions on how to test? Want to try some more etat libre d'orange anyways. Also,

>my personal musk

What did she mean by this?

>>17633116
just use like a bit of toiletpaper

>>17633116
I prefer to test on my forearm personally. it will always be more true to the wearing experience
the most true is of course to get a full wearing with it, apply it like you usually would a fragrance and smell the sillage. but not always practical with little samples of course

>>17633115
>Drakkar Noir
>Winter frag
Absolutely not. Dihydromyrcenol, which is also used in Cool Water, is also a huge part of DN. It's literally a freshie.
>Dakar
>bad performance
It's beastmode, but not refined as the original.
>>17633113
Nahh, either Platinum Egoiste or Lattafa Tharwah Silver same DNA but with hairy balls.

I was about to ask the guy if hes black cause hes recommending black people fragrances.....

>>17633117
I only have lavender scented tp.

>>17633121
Yeah it's too many samples to forearm. What I usually do is test on papers, take notes on what I know I like or is worth trying, then the following days I try them out one by one each day.

>>17633139
kitchen roll? piece of cardboard?

>>17633137
>>17633138
>implying those are his images

>>17633141
I feel like the cardboard will interfere and the kitchen roll will dissolve when sprayed.

>>17633116
how about on your skin you faggot
>>17633139

also kitchen rolls don't dissolve, they're made to absorb. TP dissolves to not clog the shitter

>>17633074
>Givenchy Gentleman Society
sell me that frag

>>17633232
Its better than the normal Gentleman, but that is my personal opinion. Overall though, I wouldn't really recommend it. It smells kind of generic and is nothing special. It's just one that I keep in my car whenever I am in a rush or forget to apply frag.

What unisex niche or fem leaning niche (basically anything non barbershop or mens designer) brands can you realistically get for 1£/ml or lower from UK/EU eBay?
Serge Lutens, Molinard, ELDO, sometimes Nicolai, Guerlain, Jo Malone, Diptyque and Hermes. Which ones am I missing?

Anyone got this?

i'll never buy a discovery set if the price per ml is 2-3x that of a bottle. jews, all of them.

>>17633070
>floral aquatics typical from the 90s
I'm not sure what they smell like. What kind of vibe do they evoke to you?
Is it fresh and soft, or is it more of a sharp, old-school kind of masculine like DN or Eau Sauvage?

cool water the og smells really cheap lmao

>>17633372
i see you haven't smelled green irish sneed yet

anyone ever try versace versense?

Thoughts on BTSO (Born To Stand Out)? It's a Korean brand

saw a frag i've never seen before at local rack store. called Shi by alfred sung. anyone know it?

you guys are just as contrarian as an other board so i should believe the opposite of what you people say
no i will not wear AdG perfume or cologne or eau
its decrepit to do so in 2023

SOTD at 27°C 80°F is MIssoni Wave

are those Rammstein fragrances any good?

>>17633437
I've seen some people recommend Rosenrot

>>17633437
sex is incredible, one of my favorites lately. very few scents get the coffee not right without making it overly sweet. you also get 15ml of sex elixir which is used to layer and that makes the scent more interesting. the other fragrances were alright but none blew me away. for the price there are much worse fragrances. but i can only really recommend sex

>>17633334
I thought it just smelled like a shitty pure Havane

>>17633437
they last like an hour tops

Can someone answer this once and for all, where do you spray Cologne?

>>17633471
On my clothes.

>>17633473
Only?

>>17633476
Yes, that is what I do.
I often take my shirt off and spray both sides.

>>17633480
Any particular part?

>>17633482
The sleeves shoulders and the back is where I put most of it, if you put it right on your chest you will go nose blind to it quicker.

>>17633484
I'll try that! Nothing on the skin at all? Not even wrists?

>>17633487
I'm just saying I don't you can if you want, it will interact with your skin chemistry, but it won't last as long as it will on clothes.

speaking of rammstein, has anyone tried zwinger? been meaning to try it but nobody sells samples and it's pricier than their other stuff (35€ for 25ml compared to 100ml for their "mainline")
