The Fragrance Groups 101 chart

The fragrance flowchart for beginners

Found dior homme sport 2008 from a local collector. That's about 142 euro for 100 ml. For that money it's a steal.

My bottle of al haramain l aventure intense arrive today. What i'm in for?

What is wrong with his face?

He looks like a chinlet/jawlet now. He wasn't before, and when this happens, you get fat, but his bodyfat is very low.

And when your bodyfat is low and you still have big cheeks, you have high buccal fat, but as above, he never used to have cheeks like this, so that's not the case.

Does some form of drug use cause this in his face?

>>17669958
He's polish, therefore slawic. It's normal to look weird as a slav.

>>17669957
Another clone in the sea of clones.

Kek, how long has this meme been out? I remember /frag/ Discord, though I didn't recall it being owned by kourosposter. Also why isn't hookerfag on the chart? Is he still around?

>>17669955

bleu de chanel, sauvage, tom ford, xerjoff, creed, imaginary authors, imagination (LV), layton, amouage and last but not least DHI

This thing smells like mango smoothie but I like it

do shalimar and jicky have a really similar base? the cinnamon note feels super similar but it has been some time since i tested shalimar. got a jicky decant just now.

S*yboys wear it too?

Everytime i wear Neroli i picture myself to be a soldier at Waterloo. Love the smell.

SOTD: Xerjoff Torino21
good stuff for summer
opening is a heavier than expected citrus/mint blast but it freshens out in a few minutes to a very pleasant citrus/blackcurrant/green frag, somehow reminds me of Imperium from Electimuss but this is imo better
mint is present but (unfortunately) it's not the main player here
the base is verbana and musk

>>17670040
It was the #1 shilled "niche" fragrance by a lot of influencers for a long time.

>>17670040
>year 2023
>everyone and their mother is wearing aventus (or one of its clones if poorfag/hipster/contrarian)
>shilled into oblivion, so it will reach all these strange people whose education mainly consists of consuming youtube videos

>>17670029
it sounds like something I'd really enjoy, but can't find it in any store for testing

>>17670032
yes. supposedly Shalimar started as Jacques Guerlain adding a bunch of vanilin to a vial of Jicky and going "damn this is really good, I could base an actual fragrance off this"

>>17670000
Erba Pura, Kirke

brief trip to Sephora impressions, tried a few frags on skin:
>Kenzo Intense
creamy fruity marine fragrance with that strange woody akigala backbone. a little offputting, I much prefer bois imperial as far as bisch's akigalashit goes. and yes, there is something in there that smells like salty pickles
>Versace Man Eau Fraiche
very fresh and soapy. not bad but nothing special to me. at least it isn't actively shit, so better than most designer freshies
>dior homme sport
surprisingly interesting, the incense and aldehydes are much more present than I thought they'd be. so it's like a very fresh incense fragrance with really tart aldehydic citrus top notes. still has some of that Dior Homme 2020 soft woods DNA too. honestly very nice

>>17670000
any pdm fragrance
any aventus clone
any arab fragrace
any initio fragrance¨
any tom ford fragrance
mindlessly wearing vintage fragrances

anything described as a "panty dropper"

Coming close to completing my summer rotation. Here's what I have.

Cool Water
Light Blue Italian Love

I really like both of them but they have meh performance, which is fine considering how hot it is here. Suggest one more for god level summer (42C / 107F)

>>17670089
neroli intense

>>17670089
You Or Someone Like You

>>17670089
if you can digest aquatic fragrances, then the new kenzos by bisch (edp/edt intense) have very good performance (even given all the shilling)

you wont find a cheap and good smelling citrus fragrance that lasts due to the nature of manifacturing process; for expensive choices c.f. smile and shine and aqua viva

>>17670040
Aventus is not your typical fresh fragrance compared to Bleu de Chanel or Sauvage. It's well blended, even has an Ambergris base.
Ambergris is one of the most epxensive notes in the fragrance world. You can literally say that Aventus is more worth than Gold, counting in it's success and mouthwatering smell.
The delicious smell was achieved with musk and oakmoss, another wonderful combination that balance the fruity top notes. Compare it with your generic freshies from Chanel or Dior you can now see how refined Aventus is. Literally speaks for the masterful taste and perfumery art from Erwin Creed that confronted an Influencer named "Jeremy Fragrance" some time ago at 2019. Seeing them both together you can feel how a master perfumer socially dominates random perfume enjoyer. Similar with Aventus. Like many thinks in life, we humans have a sixt sense for the beautiful things in life. Looking at the Aventus bottle will make you feel like you look at something groundbreaking, something that revolutionized life in general. Something that will improve your life so great you will break out in tears, knowing you live your life on your prime with Aventus on.

Enjoy it.

Looking for comments and suggestions from the previous thread!

>>17669926
>>17669932

Appreciate the input. Are test strips something you can buy somewhere, or do people just walk into a store with strips of paper in their pockets (and do most/any shops just have them available to customers)? I do really like the idea of doing like top 4 on skin to get a true feel for them.

>>17669932
Budget - already planning to spend the $35 on the etat libre dorange set. Wouldn’t be opposed to spending a similar amount on 1-2 other sets of similar size if they’re good, then purchasing maybe 1-3 bottles (total) of whatever I like. Point is, I won’t say money is no object, but it’s less about a hard $ limit and more about am I spending money on something I actually want (whether that be a set or even just a single bottle).
Old Stuff - Never tried anything before, so, not yet? I don’t know.
Elegant or Casual - Again, honestly don’t know, not even sure what would be considered “elegant” vs casual, and when to wear one vs the other. Most people I’ll be around likely won’t know the difference either, I would guess, so I -think- it’s more about which I would enjoy, and most people would enjoy smelling on me.

>>17669947
Got a link where I can grab these? I’m guessing that’s buried somewhere in the OP that I just didn’t get too, but that was something I was struggling with, finding legit places to buy small amounts of big name frags.

>>17670131
>and do most/any shops just have them available to customers
yeah, this is generally the case
just go to a store and try stuff on for now before you get too many weird niche sample sets

>>17670128
But enough about your daily routine.

>>17670128
R is literally me

I think I like it

when will Chanel finally release a new men's pillar?
we've already seen what Hermes thought up for the 2020s with H24, and Dior released Homme 2020 for better or for worse...

>>17670061
update: the drydown is very similar to Acqua di Gio for me
maybe it's not a great idea to pay a premium price for this, but the frag itself is still pretty good

>>17670239
Xerjoff is one of many brands i despise, only shills and normies shill those expensive brands and like to shout "luxury" or "exclusive" left and right.
While most of they scents smell mediocre or similar like the other. Similar story with Nishane or Amouage.

>>17669915
I actually think it’s a total meme. Got it because of you guys but it definitely has an old man ass smell. Sometimes i spray it just before I shower to smell it as a novelty but I could never wear this seriously

>>17670341
it is an old school fragrance indeed. still worth the price if you like that kind of scent profile

>>17670209
Considering they just finished up their reformulation of BdC Parfum, it might be a while. Supposedly the reformulation is really good, though, and now coming back into stock everywhere. They might consider that "new enough", since BdC Parfum isn't that old. Also, there were stock issues with both Egoiste and Antaeus, although they are already resolved as well. Feels like they might sit this out for a while.

>>17670131
your indecision makes me think you should buy bois imperial and call it a day. or new york intense.
before you buy any sample sets you should go to a store and see what they have, you might save money. or realize you don't like certain notes or styles.

>>17670348
No woman on earth is going to appreciate an “old school” fragrance
My current gf hates frags as it is and overreacts when I spray just twice in the same room as her when we’re about to go out

>>17670368
>No woman on earth is going to appreciate an “old school” fragrance
lol, lmao.

>>17670368
Just based on my personal experience this is absolutely wrong and you with your fragrance hating gf should absolutely shut your mouth. My gf loves e.g. Antaeus and that one is definitely oldschool.

>>17670368
Kouros is a good woman filter

>>17670377
I kinda like Antaeus, I did get a little “old man” smell vibes but its well rounded overall. Much better than Cerrutooti

>>17670379
I’ll look into it

Was in here a couple of threads ago and looked for suggestions for a throwaway purchase. Ended up with Sauvage EDT and Cool Water. Sauvage was fine, maybe a bit too heavy/muted. Cool Water on the other hand I really like, definitely going to sample GIT when I'm done with this bottle.
Cheers lads

>>17670412
>throwaway purchase
Get Hawas and Missoni Wave

>>17670368
>No woman on earth is going to appreciate an “old school” fragrance
and? don't tell me you only wear fragrance for women, that's a beta move
besides, some women do find old school fragrances sexy. my friend's gf loves Lalique Pour Homme (lion) and Drakkar Noir on him the most

>>17670000
something sweet and inoffensive. Stronger with you?

>>17670412
man, you need to get your nose on St. Dupont Essence Pure. one of the best smelling cheap freshies, i have gotten more compliments on that than anything else in my 20+ collection. costs next to nothing, performance is meh but i overspray it like hell.

i know scent is very personal but if there was a universally liked scent it would be this

>>17670420
>>17670444
cool, always open for suggestions. don't usually wear daily but might get into it more now that I have some options.

>>17670325
agreed, but i don't hate them - they're just simply not for me
i only have a full bottle of Naxos for fall/winter, not planning on getting more from them

>>17670014
>>17670015
>>17670037
>>17670086
Wrong

>>17670036
Correct

Im gonna start ballet next week. I need a fragrance thats light,inoffensive,clean,slightly floral(I really like lavender). Performance if its atleast 3 hours im okay with it. Budget:120 euro.
Im also not a faggot but a very manly man fuck u

>>17670471
dont be a sissy and buy caron pour un homme

>>17670471
Prada l’homme

Idk why tom ford noir is shilled everywhere it smells like ASS, smells like a old history teacher

>>17670483
Overall I agree its very try hard. There are a few scents I really like like Extreme Noir but 90% of it is ass

Giga poorfag here. Besides a better paying job, I'm also looking for a long lasting fragance. Should I just go with CDNIM and call it a day? I can't really find something that lasts long isn't expensive. I posted in the previous thread saying that even the most basic fragances are extremely overpriced in my third world shithole. I don't really mind about any specific notes Just something that last long and that I can pull in a tropical humid area.

>>17669976
L'Aventure Intense focus on the fruity parts of Aventus. But lacks the patchouli, oakmoss, musky drydown. But it capture the fruity, pineapple opening right, without smelling pissy or synthetic.
Clones like CDNIM or the DUA ones had that pissy citrusy top notes.
Nice clone.

>>17670483
>>17670494
It's a genuine pleb filter. Noselets prefer the generic vanilla gourmand Noir Extreme, while people with taste prefer the much more interesting Noir.

>>17670502
>CDNIM
If you wanna smell like a romanian criminal with drugstore tier fragrance on, go for it.
Otherwise Nautica Voyage, Cool Water Aquaman or Raghba Wood Intense if you wanna smell like a Shisha in a good way.

>>17670502
Yes Arab fragrances are your best bet in this case. Could also try Rasasi Hawas?
The new Kenzo fragrances are good performers, but I'm guessing they'd be too expensive.

>>17670471
l'occitan

which version of Jaipur is better? the EDT or EDP?

Might be dying soon so SOTD is Hermann.

>>17670351
I don’t think it’s indecision, just trying to be better informed first, literally zero experience.
All the same, fair suggestion. I was genuinely very… chicken or egg on going to a store first or buying a discovery box(es) first. But part of that hesitation is just a personal hang-up of not liking the idea of going to a store, huffing 15-20 different fragrances and then (possibly) not buying something.

Talk to me about New York Intense, what’s it smell like and why did you suggest it?

>>17670535
None. Dated garbage.

What modern frag would you get for a relative who dearly misses the old Sophie Nerval Moschus line?

>>17670561
Try 10 maximum, 2 on the back of your hands, 2 on your inner wrists, 6 on the paper testers, that you fold in half and keep in your pockets
Then sniff it frome time to time as it dries down all day long
You have to remember which frag you sprayed and where, and you don't want to get lost
Try to have an idea about what you want to try among their stock beforehand

>>17670561
>not liking the idea of going to a store, huffing 15-20 different fragrances and then (possibly) not buying something

Yeah that's a bit autistic. I feel that way too. That's why I did that and bought Encre Noire. You could do the same and just buy a cheapie. Surely you'll end up liking one of them enough.

bought a xerjoff sample set, here's a quick first 30 min shitty review

>naxos
quite heavy, sillage is insane. smell is still as strong as the first spray after 30 minutes. very smokey, i expected it to be sweeter and less tobacco-y

>torino21
i dont like frags with lemon in it because it reminds me of toilet cleaner - however i actually like this and i keep smelling it. i still think it vaguely reminds me of toilet cleaner but still smells very clean - SLIGHTLY spicy hint yet very comforting on a summer day. most likely to buy desu

>40 knots
read the fragrantica comments and they all said it doesnt have any sea / marine notees but i can definitely smell it
other than that it fades quickly, maybe because i sprayed naxos on the same hand and it's just that overwhelming

>uden
worth forgetting, i cant even smell it anymore

>>17670530
Did you read my post? I said long lasting. Voyage smells really good but lasts like 10 minutes on my skin.
>>17670532
How's the performance on those? They ars being shilled everywhere. Also, would they be good for the office?

>>17670523
Ok smelly butt

>>17670605
>torino21
do you detect any similarity to Acqua di Gio? for me the drydown was almost the same
>naxos
check again when it's cold(er)

>>17670561
not the anon you replied to but those are pretty good choices, i have them both in my collection
>bois imperial
modern masculine frag (imo), dry woody scent, modest price, great value, not offensive at all
>new york intense
as close as you can get to /our/ frag, classic masculine barbershop/chypre frag, not cheap but there is a smaller bottle available if you are price-conscious

>>17670669
>modern masculine frag (imo), dry woody scent, modest price, great value, not offensive at all
it also has extremely good performance

>>17670673

I'll say that I like it, but wish it wasn't so linear. it can get a bit tiring because it lasts on my skin for a very, very long time

Got a bunch of samples this week. So far:
Caron pour un homme fucking rules, Azzaro por homme fucking rules,
Grey flannel is weird as fuck,
and Quorum smells like a country club from 1975.

I said maybe. Hopefully not. The tests I did were negative for everything that implied a different condition, at least the way I interpret them. Waiting until my next appointment on Wednesday. If I don't die by then. Might wear ghost in the shell for the occasion.

>>17670739
Damn, dude, cancer? Wish you all the best.

>>17670744
I mean I hope not.

>>17670390
if your girl likes piss play or gay sex on club toilets, she'll like kouros

how is it that every time bisch lays off that akigalawood® from givaudan™ he produces something that's actually good?
this time, it's this stuff (in it's 2023 bottle though). yeah yeah i know the drill, gay etc and this one is like extra super fucking gay. might still cop a bottle because idgaf about the bottle. also a good litmus test for how fucking shit fagrantica is, because the retards there only managed to rate the bottle/design/symbolism instead of the fragrance, which parfumo somehow did way better. probably because parfumo isn't used by americans with an eternal inferiority complex.
anyway, if you come across this or its 2023 version (smells the same, different sweater) and you aren't a closeted faggot who gets insecure because the bottle mogs him, give it a sniff. juicy opening and a creamy neroli fragrance after that with quite good performance. however, it's certainly as unisex as you'd expect it from a neroli frag.

Bought some summer samples recently. Tried 4 so far. Thoughts:

>H24: Was excited about this given Anon's praise for it, but hated it. Smelled like rotten banana peels + metal. Essentially, a garbage can. Disliked wearing it all day today.
>Hawas: Loved it. Spicey sweet bubblegum open. Dirty patchouli and plum come out more on the mid. Would be great for the beach, street festival, dance party, etc. Very fun and refreshing but not in a spicey citrus aromatic way. Long lasting. Likely will buy bottle.
>Cedrat Boise: First thought was "grandpa smell." Opened smokey, woody, leathery, almost oudy. Classy. Did indeed smell a lot like a cigarette butt, like other reviews I've read noted, but I liked this. Would consider as a spring/fall scent, but not good for summer.
Toy Boy: Peppery dark rose. Pretty linear. Was a bit hard to catch the scent at first, but once it settled into my skin, was decently strong. Good for dance party, feminine outfit, cool summer night or cloudy day, date night. Long lasting. Likely will buy a 1.7 oz bottle.
>Wave Musk: Shower gel open to fresh cut grass. Shower gel smell stuck with it the whole time, even though it died down a lot after open, and was not a fan of that. Was thinking "no" for a bottle after the test wear day, but then found myself longing for the scent the couple days after, so need to wear it a few more times.

Summer samples remaining still to test wear:
>Cool water, Grey Vetiver, Virgin Island Water, Sauvage, Egoiste Platinum, Percival, Acqua di Sale, Pineward 8x 1.8ml spring 2023 sample set

>>17670805
did hawas not smell like axe bodyspray to you?

>>17670809
Not him, but Hawas and the Invictus literally smells like zoomies locker room

>>17670809
I haven't work axe in like 17 years, but no, it did not. It had multiple noticable components to it, a non-linear dry down, and though sweet, fruity, and fresh, did not smell so cheap. I loved it. The fruity, bubble gum, spicey open, to dirty patchouli, cinnamon and plum dry down was lovely.

post your signature scent

Got a sample of this and 9 others today, genuinely one of the greatest i have smelled in a long time

>>17670822

>>17670822

>>17670822
classic & versatile

>>17670822

>>17670041
I have that one. It's just lemons and nothing else. Extremely underwhelming but it being Napoleon's favorite fragrance is a pretty cool flex I guess

>>17670822
The weird corners at the bottom of the bottle prevent it from being properly emptied and i'm gonna throw that almost empty bottle straight at the head of Dior's creative director if i ever meet him (it's probably Bernard Arnault from LMVH isn't it).

>>17670875
>>17670822
Ye olde forgotten image

Rec me a good body spray for the gym.
Something fresh and noticable but not fragrance noticable. I only need 2 hours of performance.

Currently I'm eyeing:

Invictus (I like the EDT but it's too noticable for the gym)
H24 (tired the EDP and it's fresh and floral, supposedly this one is different?)
Terre d'Hermes (tried the pure parfum and liked it but the citurs is too noticable for the gym)
Hugo man (don't know this one but notes look like your classic fresh man's frag + it's cheap)

I just want to smell ultra fresh. Aquatic, salty, woody with a bit of citurs

>>17670911
I wear Drakkar Noir or Dylan Blue. DN is good because it doesn't last too long anyways.

>>17670911
>tired the EDP and it's fresh and floral, supposedly this one is different?
the EDT is fairly similar to the EDP but fresher, more airy and more metallic. haven't tried the body spray

>>17670911
You have no chance against my 40 sprays of Sauvage Elixir, which I exclusively wear because I don't want to smell sweat mixed with citrus freshies at my gym anymore.

The musk-oakmoss drydown on skin while pumping iron will boost the test levels over 9000.

german parfumo has the best community but holy shit the mods are total fucking faggots. they close threads in the forum for the most mundane thing, citing it breaks the rules. but the stuff is so mundane that there are no rules for it at all. i also got a PERMANENT ban on writing both statements and reviews because i had 3 statements deleted. the content in case were "it smells like a brothel", "it's like a punch in the face" and "it smells digested and excreted". that's all it took for them to permanently lock my account. and you can't even talk to the mods they just evade your question or are passive aggressive. that's why you don't give women any kind of power, they start powertripping immediately holy shit. sorry for the rant but it's so faggoted

Never smelt aqua di gio before desu
Yeah idk, I'd imagine it smells waay better in the winter but when it comes to the tobacco and sweet frags, I think I prefer TF tobacco vanilla
the tobacco doesnt take as much of a prominent place there when it dries down

>>17671048
yeah but it's especially bad there, trust me i've done my time in forums throughout the years. there's a subforum where people basically give away decants and exploration sets, they send it to one person and that one sends it to the next one etc. it's common the person in charge asks the participants to gift the next person in line a decant and that's always fine. some people who organize the packages say they want every participant to put a decant for themselves in there which is fair game - the organizer pays for the discovery set or the decants. but apparently that's against the rules even though there are literally no rules for that subforum. what's the point? everybody's fine with it and nobody gives a fuck. on the other hand it's allowed to ask for money to buy a discovery kit. it's just so irritating because the users are some of the nicest people i've met on the internet

*White musk-evernyl drydown
Unlike Sauvage Elixir or Bleu de Chanel, Aventus contains neither real oakmoss or real treemoss.

buddy are you alright?

Amouage interlude is mediocre to me. I can smell too much basil or whatever and the smokiness smells like the smokiness in a handful of other perfumes ive tried. I always expect these amouages to smell more middle eastern than they do, but I guess anything outside of a sweet oud rose combination doesn't really smell middle eastern. I was in the airport in Saudi and Abu Dhabi and all I smelled was sweet oud rose on everyone. Pretty snice in the airport, but not sure about when they get out into the heat

Will definitely keep that in mind, I made up a list of 9 in the previous thread >>17669918 but I’m sure they won’t all be available and I’ll try and work in a balance of suggestions.

>>17670594
Lol thank you for the relatability Anon, and yeah, as you said I’m sure at least one will be something I like. I’m really looking forward to Spicebomb at the very least.

>>17670669
Pardon the ignorance, but is Bois Imperial both the over-arching brand name as well as their hallmark fragrance? I suppose what I’m asking is, is the one you’re suggesting a different frag than the 1920 Sushi, which was on my original list of things to try? And if they are different like I think, would the Sushi work equally well for what you suggested.

And I’ll try and sample the NYI, to get a feel for it.

>>17670673 >>17670681>>17670725
Wow, lot of support for the imperial.

any recs for something with sandlewood?

Any Arabs here? Do you guys put this in your house? What it smells like?

Is it just me or musk is more relaxing than lavender?

>>17670131
>>17670131
For sample sets I recommend the Essential Parfums one

>>17671329
apart from some shilling going on, it's a genuinely interesting scent with great value
i think NYI is way better, but it also costs almost three times more, so there's that
the brand name is Essential Parfums btw

Most clueless post ever. The caps are crimped on and taking them off requires a solid bit of work and special tools or a lot of time and patience if you don't want to break the glass. It's not a screw cap.

>>17671329
Bois Imperial is something you should definitely sample. It's mid in my opinion and was not well received around me. You can buy the Essential Parfums sample set and then get a discount on the full bottle (equal to the price of the sample set), so you can basically test them for free if you end up buying a bottle. You also get to test their other fragrances and not just BI.

Nice thanks for the details. I enjoy the musk drydown alot. But musk seem to be one of the most toxic ingredients in fragrances.
>>17671789
Nah, Hacivat don't smell like Aventus. It's a distant cousin if you want.
L'Aventure Intense smells like a bright fruity batch with some nice musk in the drydown, without pissy(sharp) citruses on top like in CdNIM.
If you want something like Hacivat you wanna check out Afnan :Not only intense".

>>17672215
definitely Dior Homme Sport out of the too. Costa Azzurra is a pretty generic and overpriced fragrance, though I haven't smelled the parfum. but I'm guessing it's mostly the same, but more overpriced
no need to get a generic aquatic at that price point. the zingy aldehydic citrus and incense of Dior Homme Sport is definitely better and more interesting

what do you do when trying fragrances with all the paper slips afterwards? I end up with like 20 in my hand and the store never has a bin to put them

give me something like this but better

>>17672318
Thanks, going to hit the trigger on it

>>17672344
Buy and old stock glass bottle version like your picture instead of a newer batch

Went to Lush today to test fragrances. They had some pretty good stuff and they list the natural ingredients, although that might just be good marketing. The best part? The bottle cost the same as they cost online, so you don't need to chase that price.
>Lust
Properly animalic, would not wear, would not recommend.
>Lord of Misrule
Really nice patchouli vanilla combination, but probably better on a girl. I can understand how it's their current top seller.
>Let The Good Times Roll (bodyspray)
It straight up smells like popcorn. This is the one women seemed to like to buy. The bodyspray sprayer was fucking eager to shoot that stuff out and as a result my hand smelled like it until I was back home. Powerful.
>Dirty
Starts with the smell of a tube of toothpaste - like, the outer tube. Plastic. Transforms into toothpaste afterwards, and I mean it. Photorealistic toothpaste. 2 hours later, and it's a super fresh slightly minty sandalwood fragrance, like sandalwood for the summer. Bought a bottle. I just need to remember to apply it 2 hours before being anywhere.
>Grass
Opens like literal grass. Dries down to something really nice. They were out of full bottles, so I didn't get to buy one.
>Guardian of the Forest
A strong cypress suppresses a load of oakmoss and treemoss (both in there). Very green, but not what I was looking for.
>Breath of God
UH OH STINKY - at first. I think it's ylang-ylang once again, just like in Lust, but it's mixed with smoke and charcoal. Dries down to something beautiful, smoky cedar which leaves a beautiful smell in the air. Bought a bottle. Same as with Dirty, I gotta apply it early enough.

Also tested a few other ones (e.g. Rosa Jam, Junk, 4.20 PM, Shade, and a few more) but they weren't for me, so I didn't give them the run for the money. Also bought a big block of Ro's Argan soap, which was nice.

>>17672340
Take them with you and smell them again in an hour or so?

>>17672417
fucking finally someone listened to my lush shilling. i wanna buy breath of god eventually too. did you try death & decay? that one was the most memorable besides breath of god. also do they give you extra stuff when you buy in store, like samples or something?

should i buy zara lisboa as a cheapie post-gym summer scent

>>17670911
montblanc legend spirit

>>17672452
Didn't ask for extra stuff but I was able to test everything extensively without being bothered. So no, I didn't get any samples, despite spending like 180 bucks. I think they simply don't have packaging that small due to how they are in general, so they would have to dish out full size stuff. Also, that store didn't have Death & Decay, but I would've tested it if they had it. Sounds interesting enough.
Wearing Breath of God right now to give it the full scale test.

Tested Replica by the fireplace the other day and absolutely loved it, want to buy it but I wanna know if u guys think it's appropriate in summer? My first association was literally a fireplace at a summer camp at night, but people seem to think it's a winter scent only.

Alternatively I would've copped whispers in the library but the longevity is apparently pretty awful.

>>17672472
By the Fireplace smells like roasted marshmallows to me and that's absolutely something I do in the summer. I've never smelled those in the winter. The hivemind of fragrance websites is absolutely clueless. Like, Andy Tauer brings out "Sundowner", says it's a fragrance for enjoying a cocktail in the warm evening sun in Egypt, and people say it's a winter fragrance. Can't explain all that shit.

>>17672470

Bought pardon yesterday, and the performance is nowhere as good as everyone claims. Like after a couple of hours it turns into a skin scent. Everyone saying that the longevity is incredible and that with two sprays you are set and no fucking way

>>17672667
Takes a couple of months for the bottle to mancerate, the juice will go from light green to dark green. Just spray it a couple of times a week to get oxygen in to the bottle and wait. This apply to all extrait de parfum

It's a meme, the changes are minimal and something that lacks performance will not suddenly turn into a monster.

>>17672906
The single most cringe frag I have ever smelled has to be YSL Y EdP. It was so hyped up on the internet that I thought they had created something nice, and then I get synthetic green apple bubblegum for underage zoomers. The online descriptions with stuff like "aromatic, woody, fresh spicy, amber, warm spicy" even made it sound interesting, but it was just "fruity" and the fruit was apple. 4.33 on fagrantica btw.

At 0:24 you can clearly see it's not DHS 21, but DHS 17, which is even less masculine than the latest dior homme sport

>>17673083
If the top notes are only pissy citruses(cheap citrus notes), without smooth fruits and there's not a fresh, musky, creamy drydown it's not Aventus.

>i like CDNIM EDT
>never tried aventus

Do I just blind buy Aventus and get the real deal? This is the only scent profile I like so far as a summer daily but CDNIM does have a harshness to it that will probably annoy people.

Are there any similar fragrances out there that do this wonderful fruit without overpowering sweetness? All the designer ones I've tried... Azzaro, Valentino, JPG, YSL, Boss, EA... they all produce sweet fragrances that smell like penis.

>>17673154
>Do I just blind buy Aventus
no. get a sample.

>>17673154
Aventus definitely smelled a good bit more natural and peppery to me which I and probably most people would prefer over the synthetic harshness of cdn. But obviously I'm not gonna spend over 200€ for that difference.
So I went with cdn which had a terrible top note if you ask me but dried down it's pretty good. But honestly I wish I wasn't cheapskate, I definitely should've gone for montblanc the explorer, it has a less aggressive and overall higher quality smell imo and it's also fairly affordable. So if you're looking for alternatives try that one out.

Also idk if it's just my nose being used of the cdn smell but dried down it doesn't seem that harsh. I mean I bought the edt version so I hope I'm not bothering anyone in class with that fragrance.
Have been wearing it daily this spring and summer and getting bored by it, so I'm looking for affordable alternatives, but every popular summer fragrance has that boring fresh scent which I'm just not a fan of. One more reason why I hate summer and adore winter/fall.

>>17671732
I tried Mr Sam And Mr Penhaligon too, i appreciate them too but i fell in love with The Tragedy of Lord George way more than with the other two, positively suprirsed with how many of these samples i like

As an alternative I would suggest stopping being insecure about smelly water. Maybe her grandma was bolder than you and she was wearing male oriented parfumes

All the Penhaligons portraits have a certain signature scent going, really enjoying the set (still). Teddy and Duke I found a bit too aggressive, but I appreciate the scents anyhow. But Lord George is something else, almost feels like it was made for me, in the Drr Drr Drr sense.

jacques guerlain was very fond of using entire perfumes as bases. i think one of his later less-known perfumes used the entirety of mitsouko as a base. guerlinade was based on stripping jicky to its core components, you can smell it in the drydowns of l’heure bleue, shalimar and habit rouge as well.

>>17674295
yes its about the prophet Ezekiel, Jerusalem is portrayed in the prophetic image as one of two sisters, Oholibah, the other being Oholah, Samaria. In the Bible, these two were depicted as betrothed to God and unfaithful to him. A common theme in the Old Testament is the faithless desire of God’s bride to return to Egypt where they were enslaved and where God had warned them never to return under any circumstance.

The lewd image here is meant to be striking and to promote disgust at the lust of the Jews after the ways of their slavery in Egypt, as though Egypt had been the abusive lover of her adulterous youth. God’s judgment is that Egypt, “her lovers,” along with Assyria and Babylon, will turn against her. She will turn to them for support, and they will crush and oppress her as part of God’s judgment for their rebellion against him.

>>17674312
The Israelites bore some of the responsibility for their enslavement in Egypt and appropriated that culture a little too readily even while they were slaves.

#3 “whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.”
Meant to illustrate their great earthly power, it also is meant to be a disgusting image of adultery against God. The lewd imagery was chosen for a reason. God is like a jealous husband and our forsaking of him or idols is as disgraceful and gross as this image portrays.

>Didn't expected to meet a fellow christian here too. IMO there's nothing wrong with enjoying some girls especially in the age of feminism
Promiscuity is degenerate and wrong, "enjoying women ie. premarital sex is wrong and men need to be chaste and in control of his sexual desires, women need to be submit to their husband and their husband serve them and lead the family to God. Women cannot pair bond after many sexual partner
>especially in the age of feminism
feminism is degenerate and Jewish, and the only rights women should have are the ones men give to them, women need to be out of the workplace and having children at 18-22 and married off.

You disgust me and are an insult to Christianity and its institutions with your porn fried brain and a slave to your desires, randomly quoting verses and preforming eisegesis to justify your hedonistic life will send you to hell, delete your folders and get off this website. In an ideal society if you acted like this in public acting perverted and degenerate you would have your throat slit after receiving last rites

>>17674345
>men need to be chaste and in control of his sexual desires,
1 Timothy 4:1-3
4 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.

There is a thin line for thinking what is forbidden and what not. Overall the new Testament is clear to not cross certain lines like not having an affair with a married(!) wife.
And don't forget Jesus parabola about non Jews to be dogs(similar offensive like translated to being pigs).
We non jews are grafted into the vine.

youre preforming eisegesis to justify your bad behavior and immoral perversion, you are porn addicted and larping. Morality is not subjevtive, homosexuals, whoremongers, perverts must be put to death.

i enjoy wearing jicky while dressed up in pleasant company, l’heure bleue i reserve for quiet nights at home. i’d like to wear mitsouko as part of my regular rotation but i can’t find the EDP anywhere i live. i haven’t smelled shalimar on skin before so the loudness of this spray shocked me. truth to be told i’m not sure how i’d wear it. i can really smell how it slots right in between jicky and habit rouge though.

For me, it's Tempo

>>17674483
also i hope the girl sitting next to me on the plane enjoys the smell of vanilla because shalimar is all she’s smelling for the next 4 hours lmfao. whoops.

Any diptyques not shit?

I can't stand chocolate cakey deep patchouli, but I read this isn't

>>17670822
signature scents are cringe
i dont have one, but this is one of my favorites

>>17674520
It isn't, it's a herbal woody warm patchouli, with some polen/matcha undertones on my nose. Beautiful composition . Really elegant

>>17674537

>Go to rock concert next day in NYC as a solo mission (first concert in years)
>make friends with some guys at front of line
>Front row, Listening to some crazy math rock drumming and starting to get pumped up
>Out of nowhere 8/10 concertslut in a concert 85% full of sweaty guys starts dancing in front of me and my line friend trying to court one of us
>I realize it must be the Gucci Guilty after I get smushed into some fat greasesweater at some point.
>spend half the concert dancing with this fine bitch
>great boner
>lose her between acts- also autistically not talking because I’m wearing ear protection and don’t want to scream/don’t know how to talk in loud clubs
>while moshing think I bump into her again and accidentally grope wrong chick- oops lmao
>see line friend with bitch after concert at bar
>also see them further uptown/across the street- line friend successfully bagged bitch

If only my younger self realized how effortless this shit could be. I didn’t say a word to this woman and she was throwing herself at me.

10/10 would recommend Gucci Guilty EDP

>>17674520
NTA, but I generally don't like Patchouli, but this is done in such a way that its present, but not forward. More in harmony with other notes. Also I wore my Adventus decant today and realized that it smells a lot like irish spring soap.

I'm convinced nobody has ever paid MSRP for a single bottle of Mancera or Montale. they ship them directly to the discounters

Anybody tried this one? Opinions?

>>17674426
Good man. I also enjoyed Yasmine, guess I am a simple sucker for salted caramel & vanilla, and so did my gf. I must say, the stag of Lord George is majestic, but be careful, the top lifts off the damn thing when you unwrap it, I fucking dropped the bottom part of the box with the perfume bottle, thankfully on a table, lol. I'm interested to try other Penhaligons as well, though they have me suckered in with the Portraits concept.

artisinal attars and real oud smoke on your clothes

>>17673792
I absolutely loved wet stone. I've been hooked on oud and Arab fragrances since I went to the middle east and have found western designers smell like shower gel and vodka upon returning. American girls of course prefer generic freshies and themselves want to smell like gas station peach rings which is a shame. Conformity is an absolute mist outside of like 4 or five coastal meme cities.

>>17674560
just got off the plane, shalimar is still going strong off just a single spray on the back of my hand despite having gone to the bathroom twice. at this rate i’m pretty sure it’ll last for the rest of the day.

>>17674683
you def need to hit more rock concerts and keep us posted bro

>>17674561
Something else in general. You already went through the YouTuber top 10, start sampling niche stuff.
