The Fragrance Groups 101 Chart

Just bought 10 decants of things I've never smelled but people mentioned here

I'm feelin good

I am tired of my AdG Profondo. Looking for something fresh sutiable for office. Terre de Hermes Eau Givree smells nice. Any other suggestions? Looking for something citrus-like.

lol. he got a really weird collection too, 142 frags with every gay designer flanker but no real niche outside of ganymede. luckily fags like him are the minority.

>>17641058
what frags?

SOTD: Fusion d'Issey Extrême

In other news: my orders of Naxos and three Essential Parfums frags (Bois Imperial, Fig Infusion, Nice Bergamote) are on their way, did I do good?

>>17641060
Dior Homme Cologne

>>17640980
It's Parfumo and they market place souk. Since fragrances gain more and more publicity and normies are into niche now you can see an increase of absurde offers.
Literally zoomers who heard from Chaos Fragrance on Youtube that Naxos is the ultimate tobacco fragrance, so they think they can sell it for 1000 bucks.
Usually you can buy fragrance for 10 to 50% cheaper than in retail there. Normies ruining everything.

>>17641026
The superior Blue

>>17641026
Currently using Eau De Sauvage and Acqua di Parma but always wanted to try Caron Pour un Homme, anyone uses it?

>>17641114
i sold some stuff to a boomer there and it was a very weird experience. sent it with hermes and it ended up at a shop for pick up. i messaged her multiple times that it was there and she replied with "okay" but never actually picked it up. eventually it was returned to me and she didn't contact me about it at all, even though she paid for it. but i didn't want to be an asshole and sent it again (after she paid shipping). never saw someone giving so little fucks

>>17641130
>she
It was a women, who knows. She was busy fucking chad or some sort of that.

Rasasi hawas guy again, batch feb 2023

I think i just went noseblind

>>17641109
That sounds pretty gay. How is it?

>>17641130
She probably figured you would’ve returned the money you jew

>>17641125
I like all three. Caron pour un homme is my favorite of the three.

>>17641183
Nothing like normal dior homo. It's very fresh sour lemon with a musky base. Can hardly imagine a more summery scent that isn't aquatic

>>17641192
Interesting. I’ll take that back until I test it. Maybe it’s not gay. Summery and non aquatic for me are Guerlain homme and Guerlain eau de Guerlain.

Honest, non meme opinions on Kenzo Homme EDP?
How does it compare to Intense?

>>17641228
It's heavier with sweet leather, less fresh.
Kenzo Homme Edt is the best.

>>17641232
Isn't EDT just the original Kenzo PH 1990?

>>17641235
Yes. But i think it's reworked. I can detect some Bisch wood style in there.

>>17641228
I don't like it much. smells like pickles, sweaty skin... weird fragrance
I definitely prefer bois imperial as far as meme Bisch frags go

give me meme summer fragrances

I want to make a frag shitpost but I'm not sure what to make? Throw me a bone, even bad ones.

>>17641242
i wanna smell like one of the french girls but as a boy

My impressions about all decants I bought. Last time I buy designer decants, like, I don't wanna act like a niche snob, maybe my choices weren't the best but damn, absolute waste of money:

Sauvage elixir: 8/10 , it preserves the sauvage DNA but it adds like 50 layers of depth to it, rich and beautiful. Fresh and warm and the same time, I'll probably get my hands on a bottle soon.

Club de Nuit sillage: terrible mess
Detour noir:6/10 beautiful opening, but on the deep dry down it goes to shit
Kenzo homme intense: inofensive sport smell, first Quentin I try that I don't like. Nuclear performance tho.
Spicebomb extreme : mass appealing spicy fragrance. Good for what it is, but way better things with the same profile.
Badee al oud amethyst: easy to wear rose oud fragrance, ridiculously good for the price.
Khamrah: best thing that came out the arab clone craze in the last few years. Goes its own way.
Hacivat: synthetic mess that gets good at the two hour mark.
Le male lp: overly sweet and annoying , good quality but boring
Toy boy: 7.5/10. Good quality rose fragrance with a little edge. If this was a initio release, they could sell it for four times the price and noone would complain.
Arrakis: great citrus woody smell, too simple for me but high quality.
Shurah: great quality for the price but gets cloying quickly in my nose. Annoying.
Club de Nuit iconic: fucking shit, worst thing I've smelled in a long time

I can elaborate further if someone is interested

>>17641242

Man, i sprayed 2 sprays on a piece of paper 2 rooms aways of rasasi hawas and i can smell it here

Which frags most remind you of summer? I'm talking palm trees, seaside breeze, drinks on the beach kind of vibe you know. Real summer scents, not boring bergamot and cedar bullshit

>>17641263
jpg le beau, tropical stuff, pineapple, fruits, freshies

>>17641263
Cool water

>>17641249
Yes, definitely. I think it will shine in colder weather. But it's quite strong so definitely not office friendly.

>>17641269
So more something for going out?

>>17641270
For me it's a good fragrance for nights out and social gatherings or dates. Specially outdoors. But the scent profile is quite versatile for it to work in most situation if you go light with the sprays.

I couldn't see myself using this in extreme heat tho

>>17641273
Cheers, was about to pull the trigger on it for the colder months

Aventus, Bogart Story Blue, Azzaro Chrome Parfum version(not edp), Bullgari Aqva Marine
Kenzo Homme edt is so watery, i like it more on rainy days. I feel like i'd dive into cool water.

>>17641332
Is CDNIM really a good alternative to Aventus?
Speaking of, is there a good alternative to Virgin Mountain Water

>>17641309
Zino

I think you did kek, no way that hawas disappears after 2 hours?
what do you think of it? do you agree it smells like axe?

>>17641360
Yeah
Honestly? The very first time yes it did
But now? It smells super fresh, fruity, no axe smell at all

it's like a splash of ice cold water on a hot summer day

Why is it so fucking good?

>bullying asocial autists
B- but I thought we were all friends here T_T.
I think I either have skin from hell or I am a noselet. Everything described as subtle, understated or intimate will drive me mad if it turns out to be an amazing scent, but I will need to battering ram my nose into skin to sense it well enough. 20 minutes of shitty projection into skin scent is like a 1/3 of stuff I sample and I don't sample Jo Malone or colognes... It is definitely not an olfactory fatigue or I am surrounded by even more impaired noselets as I inquired profusely.

There are limitations to how well perfumes can give you an impression of a scenery. What places or situations do you think perfumes capture well other than incensey churches, powdery make up bags and damp patchouli/cashmeran basements? Soil and forest so far for me were almost convincing, but not quite there. Florals are very varied with some flowers being unpopular and almost impossible like lilac in contrast to rose, lavender, lily-of-the-valley etc.

Name a better summer frag and if you're right I'll buy it!

>>17641446
got that one
although id only wear that when its 30°C and more its too creamy/sunshiney

>>17641446

>>17641405
LADDM doesn't smell like the desert, but it smells like a souk or a caravanserai kind of. It definitely evokes a picture in my mind, but one that is less desolate than an arid landscape. Whenever I smell LADDM I think "this is how Fremen must smell"

I also find that the Kenzo line evokes various landscapes. EDT makes me think of the sea on a windy summer day, but more like a rocky shore, not a sandy beach. EDP is interestingly more summery to me, probably because of the faintly fig-like sweetness that complements the marine notes, I'd describe it as a summer night because it's a weird mix of dark and tropical.

It's probably a Bisch thing (and no I'm not a bischfag, I dislike BI and think Ganymede is unwearable despite being interesting). But Ganymede itself is also landscape-like in the opening, very mineralic and desolate. It smells like nature, but the dead kind.

Hermes tends to make landscape-like frags, especially the Jardin line.

The last one to come to mind is Montabaco Intensivo but that one is only evocative to me because I swear it smells exactly (and I mean exactly, it's the exact same scent) as my dad when he used to smoke

>>17641369
Violet.

>>17641470
>Ganymede is unwearable
Is my signature scent and people love it (dudes more tho)

I'm looking for a summer frag. I bought Nautica Voyage and I like it, but it smells generic, so I wear it indoors mostly. I'm looking for something more "sophisticated", wanted to buy Kenzo Homme EDP for a while, but >>17641239 said it smells like pickles and I really want to avoid that pickle smell that is typical of summer frags and Nautica in particular

Versace dylan blue

>>17641615
I never got the pickle comment when wearing EDP, I think you'd be more likely to get that from Intense because of the calypsone. Try it at a store maybe you'll like it, it's a really nice fruity aquatic, not quite fresh but good for summer anyway

>>17641309
Drakkar Noir anyday, everyday over Zino. I love that aromatic citruses with an overload of Dihydromyrcenol(note that is used in aquatics).
In my book DK is the best fougere ever created.
>>17641437
There's even a clone Dakar, but fougeres are not what arabs usually wear. So it's even save to buy Al Rehab Dakar.
>>17641629
Really based. Dakar is my SOTD tomorrow.

anything with star fruit? for the summer?

Dior Homme Parfum is a modern (probably mostly) synthetic release
that being said, it's my favorite date and night out frag, at least for when it isn't super cold. I think it smells amazing and has very good performance as well, especially longevity

>>17641804
>for when it isn't super cold
*for when it isn't super hot

how many sprays am i suppose to do

Okay another 8ish hours have passed, rasasi hawas is fucking strong. 2 sprays on the neck in 27°C now and holy moly it's fantastic

>>17641810
two to five works for most fragrances
if it's super weak you can do more

>>17641810
2 to both sides of the neck
2 on both wrists
2 on your shirt
2 at your knee (for when you walk by people)
1 at hair level
2 for your back

>>17641833
wayyyyyyy too much

im mad right know because i bought a bottle of this masterpiece but the projection and longevity is shit. what a waste of a great creation

I wear it in the summer, nothing but positive reactions.

>>17641446
I could but I don't want to fuel your addiction to blindbuying.

JOOOOOOO jeremy fragrance! in this thread! with his spray routine wowzer!

ebst way to test frags?

>>17641861
>I wear it in the summer, nothing but positive reactions.
I advise against Sauvage Elixir on scorching days or if there is inadequate or no air conditioning indoors; it's potent and can get overwhelming with one spray.

How many Sprays of amouage interlude, and where for the max impact ?

>>17641911
go to a store that sells frags??

>>17641869
Of course. It's just a blue freshie, but dark blue. A bit more mature. Nothing wrong with a showergel fougere in the summer.

>>17641913
I have never been overwhelmed.

I just blind ordered pic rel. Did I get scammed by youtube niche micro celebrities?

I bought the Maison Margiela Replica discovery kit months ago and hated almost every single one of their fragrances. That said, I'm looking for some cozy scent to wear in the winter and Matcha Meditations seemed up my alley, but im hesitant since I hated the other scents from this house. Any advice? I also liked coffee break so I'm deciding whether to get that or blind buy matcha mediations

>>17641953

>>17641964
Already have a 10ml decant of this. Nice frag, but for some reason this reminds me of old lady smell.

>>17641861
wow, I consider myself someone who likes greenies and I know maybe 1 or 2 frags in that picture

>>17641968
>for some reason this reminds me of old lady smell
Hah, same! but I still like it for the deep drydown. It has a very sparkly sweet note. Like what I'd imagine sugar crystals to smell like if they actully had a scent.

>>17641435
>a city on fire
I have a couple Imaginary Authors fragrances I want to try but I cant find any place that ships them to Europe without having to pay fucking 20 thousand dollars in shipping fees.

>>17641976
I bought mine from essenza-nobile, but they fucked up my box by peeling off the initial price tag. They peeled off the cardboard with it. I bet a woman did it. Ecuacionnatura is a store anon recommended to me recently when I asked where to get Pineward fragrances from. They have Imaginary Trannies too. I got their discovery set and to be honest my opinion is that city on fire is a 10/10 and everything else is average. I guess slow explosions is good too kind of. Saint julep is interesting if you like "fresh" fragraces, because sugar and mint is an interesting combo, but I prefer gothrock frags.

>>17641976
if only we had a list of reputable sellers in the OP
you could see that essenza nobile has IA frags in stock (https://essenza-nobile.de/imaginary-authors-en)) with free shipping from 150 EUR

>>17641976
https://lulua.pl/en

10 EUR for shipping to western europe

>>17641991
Fuck them. Twice in a row they disrespect my boxes and they asked me to notify them when I order next so they can put a coupon code in my next box for my order after that. As if I'm gonna bother begging for 10% off and as if I'm gonna order from them one more time, let alone two more times.

I'm a falied STEM fag living with my parents. I'm also a manlet. Fragances for this feel.

I would say Tauer Lonestar Memoirs is the best wearable scenic parfume, that being of a cowboy sitting by a campfire and drinking coffee, the base is a bit generic tho.

There are better scenic parfumes but none that i would wear, like for example BeauFort Fathom V also UNUM LAVS.

bros, this smells HORRIBLE. It smells like an old man, and i dont mean it as in 'a hairy chest and mustache combo sea-man' , i mean it as in 'my grandpa who had dementia' type of old man. its genuinely off-putting

Do you have a scent that reminds you of death? not like literally(rotting scents, ashes, etc..)...someone close to me died suddenly today I am wearing Elysium and it will forever be in that memory.

>>17642374
>>17642378

>>17642306
It's a pretty safe scent, nothing that special though. I have a decant but I would never buy a full bottle. Has a bit of a Sprite vibe to it.

So i ordered a bunch of summer frag testers and long story short i ended up really liking these 3: channel allure homme sport eau extreme, guerlain homme l'eau boisee and ysl lndh blue electrique. I think i like guerlain the most but somehow it reminds me of chanel egoiste platinum which i already own-it is my everyday scent. I also like d&g light blue intense but mot as much as the three above. Which one would you recommend and why? I also tested bvlgari aqva marine but i found it to be too mediterranean. In aquatics im looking for something darker like im at the northern sea on a drilling platform during the storm in october

This is it. The peak. Nothing can surpass this. This is what you call the pinnacle of fragrance.

>>17642409
>Which one would you recommend
DRAKKAR NOIR

>>17641953
I tried all the memed frags and a couple more and they were all thrash. put jazz club and by the fireplace on each arm and both were gone in less than 4 hours, besides being overly sweet. one of my biggest disappointments in perfumery.

Guys I love perfumery so much but my life consists in going from the office to my house and repeat. The most daring thing I can wear to work is Bois imperial

I wear stuff at home but doesn't make any sense, all the stuff I have is really evocative and doesn't make sense to wear it between 4 walls alone

>>17641786
21 is very good. crisp. minty. nice. 22 is noticeably sweeter. it's as if they took 21 and 40 knots and jammed them together.

21 is clearly better, but it's a mint citrus aromatic with about 3-5 hours of life, so i wouldn't buy it. get a 6 dollar sample, smell it, enjoy it and figure out if you need it in your life.

>>17642306

>>17642409
They are all fine fragrances, but I think Platinum Egoiste mogs all of them. Nonetheless, I wore LNDL Bleu Electrique yesterday, 24°C weather. It works so well when it's warm and it's different to the other ones, as it doesn't try to be a "freshie". I'd consider that one first just to make it easy to change it up a little.

Oldfag over 30 looking for a summer scent.I just spotted picrel for 18€. Is it any good? I blind bought Encre Noire OG last winter and I like it, but I'm not sure if the sport flanker is ok for summer (I live in Marseille, 95°F is normal here during summer).
Merci.

>>17642625
Bois Imperial

>>17642676
yes, it's great for summer. like the OG but much softer and more refreshing with some citrus and a touch of aquatics. I think the vetiver is also more clean and soapy than smoky in this one, but still has a bit of inky earthiness. great blind buy if you like the original and want a summer version
only problem is the performance sucks, or at least it sucked on the bottle I tried. but I guess that's standard with cheap summer scents

>>17641859
>im mad right know because i bought a bottle of this masterpiece but the projection and longevity is shit. what a waste of a great creation
Seems to perform better on me after it macerates. Lasted all night long when I was out partying.

>>17642676
It's kinda sorta fresh but the damp woody dna just isn't good for summer no matter what, I wouldn't do it
longevity is shit as well

>>17642625
either this or kaszebsczi mech. I like BI, but it's too forced and also too well-known outside this thread to be /our/ fragrance

>>17642682
Thanks for the detailed response anon. I'm buying it. Performance doesn't matter so much since I spend most of the day on the beach, so I'll spray early in the morning and in the afternoon after showering.
>>17642684
I see. The thing is I'm not into the normie sweet aquatic scents, so I don't have many alternatives. The only warm weather scents I really like are Philosykos edt, which I've been wearing for ages, and H24 edt. Do you recommend any other warm weather frag based on my taste?

>>17642697
>I don't have many alternatives
greens my nigga, greens. lots to choose from, lots of classics as well. even meme shit like drakkar noir is unironically great for summer

>>17642697
grey vetiver, un jardin sur le nil, voyage d'hermes? or any of those old school fresh chypres like eau sauvage or 1881, these are quite refreshing if you don't mind smelling like a very classy grandpa

>>17642706
I asked about picrel in a previous thread but nobody replied. I also like Polo OG (autumn and winter) and this one seems suitable for warm weather. Unfortunately, not available for test and I'm not sure about blind buying a 60€ scent.
Also, I already own Drakkar Noir, THD edp, The Dreamer, Luna rossa og, Vetyverio edt and Eau de Minthé, which I find more suitable for for spring time and even autumn. My problem is finding scents for really warm weather...

>>17642712
>grey vetiver
This is a good idea, but TF i must test before buy (price tag is too much for a blind buy for sure)
>voyage d'hermes
I find it sweet (I know it's not by today standards, but not for me)
>un jardin sur le nil
Must test too
Thanks a lot anon!

I am lowing rasasi hawas now lads

>>17642726
It's just Invictus. Smells like million other releases. Mostly because of the fucking apple note.

>>17642730
I guess, never smelles invictus.

any must tries from Parfums de Nicolai?

Is Sauvage a good purchase as my first "real" fragrance?

>>17642751
yes

versace eros for summer?

>>17642757
no. unless you're under 20 and go clubbing every day. it's really sweet, immature and obnoxious for daily wear

Cool Water or New York Intense. I don't even know where anything else comes from.

>>17642680
Bois Imperial has been confirmed mid multiple times in these threads.

>>17642686
Neroli Intense is good, but Bright Neroli still mogs it. "Good enough", but no Bright Neroli. The Polish one didn't really lift off, mostly because it was out of supply shortly after it was talked about more often in here.

>>17642751
Yes.

>>17642757
Yes.

>>17642803
>Yes.
even the edp? i was eyeing the parfum which has no mint in it

>>17642805
Seasonal fragrances are a meme made up by the sales department. It's just a fresh and sweet ambroxan fragrance. I don't even know how it would NOT be suitable for summer. If citrus ambroxan freshies aren't summer fragrances anymore, it's fucking over.

>>17642810
well damn thank you anon!

>>17642810
>Seasonal fragrances are a meme made up by the sales department
I mean i don't disagree but you wouldn't wear something that reminds you heavily of christmas cookies in summer.

>>17642633
Thank you anon, will do the full day wear test of both and then im going to decide which to buy

>>17641383
Ok, my skin is cursed. Dabbed La fille de Berlin on clothes and it lasted 3+ hours of solid presence, slightly less complex and more clean profile on clothes I assume due to oakmoss as the clean part was reminding me of a chypre Exit the King ELDO. Only after 3 hours it started to smell as faint as skin only application after 30 minutes. It strains light coloured clothing like you got SAed by teletubbies, so that is a pleasant bonus too.
FML. Do I need to retest everything now on clothes and skin separately? I had a lot of samples I liked, but they got murdered by my skin performance wise, despite being monsters in majority of reviews, like Perris Monte Carlo Oud Imperial.

>>17641470
Thanks for the detailed response, appreciate it. Did you imagine desert and caravanserai or had irl experience? I find a lot of cave and mineraly descriptions memey af after doing some caving. In my mind Fremen definitely do not smell of a nice perfume lol.
Ganymede to my nose is like some cyberpunky blackberry freshness, a high-fashion hologram ad by a silvery android or a new office building erected in seconds with no wood or plant is sight.
>>17642123
>>17642065
This endless praise for Beaufort and Tauer makes me think of getting discovery sets, but Beaufort's 65£ for 8x2ml is ridiculous and it is missing one release. Tauer does several discovery sets with 5 vials max which is lame as well. Ughrrr.

>>17642918
I've never been to the desert so it was just what I romanticized in my imagination. Yeah I guess real nature doesn't quite smell like this, to me it's more like a vibe rather than a "photorealistic" feeling.
I don't know, there's a kind of raw spiciness to LADDM, it's not animalic or dirty but it's definitely not clean either.
Ganymede smells artificial to you? In my mind, the saffron and immortelle give it a natural feel. But it's definitely a very cold scent. Encelade is warmer

>>17642918
>This endless praise for Beaufort and Tauer
all the beaufort shilling is by one guy, the tauer shilling by multiple people. i'll leave the conclusion to you

>>17642973
yeah it's often hard to seperate what's actually popular in these threads from what some one guy is spamming for whatever reason

>>17642977
The tone usually makes it obvious. But it sucks because sometimes good frags are spammed and that leads to everyone assuming they're shit

>>17641308
Are you a boomer? Can't you have a laugh at a dumb joke any more?

>>17642978
agreed. I actually like BI and most of guerlain's classic offerings, but the people who post them the most here are extremely cringy and obnoxious

>>17642983
BI is pretty good, a bit too sparkly for me though if that makes sense, I get a slight medicinal feel from it so I ended up giving the bottle away. As far as Bisch's stuff goes, Kenzo EDP is much better imo but usually gets ignored in favor of Intense for some reason.

It literally made me chuckle more than any other meme I've seen today, you serious buffoon.

What is your opinion on Dior Eau Sauvage?
I'm looking for a summer fragrance that stays out of the sweet territory. I smelled it today, and kinda liked it. It's fresh, but still powerful.

>>17643001
day: Tauer LADAS
night: Tauer Sundowner/LDDM

>>17643065
>Tauer Sundowner
winter scent

>>17643063
it's good and an all-time classic, influential fragrance. but if you want powerful as in performance, it's kind of weak

>>17643065
why is this now shilled as much as bois imperial

>>17643052
to me it smells more like skittles and smoke. quite disgusting
I couldn't even use up the whole sample and ended up giving it to a friend

>>17643070
I meant powerful more as in the emotion that it conveys (sounds kinda gay but I suppose you know what I mean). Is the longevity really shit? I don't need something that lasts for 8 hours, but 5-6 hours, small scent bubble would be nice. Do I get this with Eau Sauvage?

>>17642718
>own Drakkar Noir, THD edp, The Dreamer, Luna rossa og, Vetyverio edt and Eau de Minthé
weirdest collection i've seen

>>17643067
have you ever tested it and/or read the description on the Tauer website?
>>17643071
i love my Tauer frags (i have LDDM, LADAS, Sundowner, ACCD and some testers) and use them a lot, so if there's a SOTD question or someone is asking for frag recommendations i post them

>>17643065
Sell me on it for a warm summer night

How is it?
What does it smell like?

>>17643086
Ah i got it just the other day
It smells faintly of BDC, but more deeper, less blue collar? lilke you've dived into a deep blue pool
A less uptight work summer fragrance imo

>>17643082
idk, actually sounds more cohesive than most to me. mostly greenish scents, vetivers and fougeres that lean mature but aren't full-on grandpacore (well, maybe aside from Polo)

do they actually use real ambergris in this or is it just marketing talk

I’m using Tom Ford Noir Intense but then again, the weddings I’m going to are at night and I don’t give a fuck.

>>17642409
>In aquatics im looking for something darker
Try Tom Ford Oud Minerale, the Kenzo Homme line (EDP and Intense might be a bit too tropical for you but EDT is a nice stormy aquatic), or for niche stuff, Acqua Di Sale or Kerosene Walk the Sea, maybe Megamare but it might be too creamy for the vibe you want

>>17643091
>mostly greenish scents
Mmm... Ok, I get it. I just got disturbed because someone is mixing faggy scents (diptyque) and masculine-almost-offensive ones (DN and Polo)

>>17643080
>I meant powerful more as in the emotion that it conveys
yeah I get what you mean, it's nice to have an evocative scent
you'll have to try eau sauvage on your skin. on me it had okayish longevity, but very little projection to speak of. that's part of the reason why I got Cerruti 1881 instead, it performs better for me and is also much cheaper. it's kind of similar, but leans more green and less citrusy

How do I tell my co-worker she stinks? She doesn't wear frags or anything, she is fairly overweight and your typical zoomer adhd nerd, but my god every time shes near me she reeks

>>17643158
you could gift her some deodorant gift set when there is an appropriate occasion. maybe she'll get the memo

i like this but the design is fucking retarded

what's the deal with ebay sellers bros? I want to get some Kouros, which is discontinued in the US (i think), and the only options are these ebay sellers whose prices seem too good to be true based on the prices on fragrances that haven't been discontinued (pic related is like $130 in stores)

>>17643158
>I've noticed that sometimes there is a strong smell in our workspace, and I wanted to talk to you about it because I believe it's important for all of us to feel comfortable.
And just after that, you'll give her the gift package containing the bottle of Kouros.

>>17643186
get some vintage Kouros

>>17642782
This. I fucking hate it that Ariel is black. There's a reason why all Disney princess where white, because white girls are the pinnacle of beauty.
>>17642803
Wrong. Bois Imperial is the best woody fragrance on the market. It's high-end niche, but inexpensive. Thanks to Mr. Bisch, the master perfumer, who composed the notes so well together that it probably didn't need to be extremely expensive. Other mediocre niche brands can't achieve Mr. Bisch Level of perfume mastery with good prices later on the market.
Smelling Bois Imperial will show you a photorealistic scene of fresh cut plank of woods. But it's also spicy therefore addicting, there's pepper, patchouli amd akigalawood, literally mouthwatering on a 16k olfactory level of resolution.
>>17642686

Yeah it's discontinued. You could try:
Light Blue Intense
Megamare
Squid
Virgin Island Water (haven't tried but ppl say it's a beach scent).

>>17643177
same. sprayer is dogshit too. they have 1oz regular bottles for aqua og though

>>17643238
where are you finding it for that? 100ml? that's not bad

>>17643224
yeah, test it before you buy it, def not an easy-wear summer freshie
starts with raw bergamot (kinda like a mosquito repellent), a dirty musk (with lavender?) appears a bit later, performance is excellent

>>17643191
the question stands about the ebay sellers

>>17643266
those all look delicious
but

damn....
if there was a long lasting long island ice tea fragrance id wear it

>>17641835
i wear starwalker and i spray like 6 times and i still can't smell the shit and it's still gone in 2 hours. there's no way i'm not using less than 12 sprays on these types of frags

>>17643327
Maybe you are getting noseblind to it and you are choking everyone.

I wore Bois imperial to work and after my shift I went to see a friend, hugged her dachshund puppy, and after two hours she told me that the dog was smelling to my perfume (Bois imperial), and for me it was gone after six hours.

Not even trying to shill BI

>>17643158
it's probably yeast

>>17643279
kouros specifically has a lot of people who blind buy it and don't like it, but it's also expensive enough that they don't just eat the cost and throw it away

>>17643263
Nah, best Aventus clone so far was Loewe Esencia edp for me. CDNIM is the littel brother of Aventus with down syndrome.

Bois Imperial literally has beastmode performance. It's 10/10 on every category.

>>17643382
except for the smell, of course, where it's a 4/10

>>17643046
Probably good. Bisch is best enjoyed far away from Givaudans™ Akigalawood®.

That isn't a reality for me because I don't look racially ambiguous. I'm so white, blonde and blue-eyed I could apply 40 sprays of 1 Million and the TSA would still ignore me.

What's your take on this one, bros? Is it really good for summer?

>>17643472
I guess it would be good for summer, but it wasn't necessarily exciting or new. Best I can say is that it didn't smell cheap despite being cheap.

>>17643472
Fugly bottle. Would never buy.

>>17643456
It is, my bro. I live in the heart of europe, One Million turns an albino into Ahmed.
And Murkwood Donovan into Wolfgang.

>>17643379
So I should try to find someone who is just selling 1 bottle, instead of these shops that have several for sale at half price? Are these eBay shops selling fake cologne?

SOTD Asad.
Weathers not too hot today. And fuck when I first got this spray it was much more chocolatey but now it’s more like actual elixir. Still prefer the real deal but this stuffs a dope clone.
Also waiting on a sampler set from Xerjoff as well as Etat de libre.
