What is the ultimate sex-haver fragance?

Bought pic related and I hate it.

What do

>>17687680
>he unironically bought a dipdick

>>17687696
Tempo is one of the best fragrances of all time

>>17687668

best musk?
sexy but should also work for office? love Kiehl's

>>17687668

>get a bunch of samples to save myself from blind buying and wasting money
>give each sample a few full day wears on my skin to really judge
>find one that I thoroughly enjoy, worthy of buying
>buy full bottle
>it arrives
>wear it a few times
>lose interest in it
>want to buy more samples to chase the next one
many such cases

>>17687703
Tempo is a poorly made L'instant de Guerlain

About to pull the trigger on the entire Jeremy Fragrance collection

>>17687668
Kouros

>>17687703
Tempo smells like 100 other patchouli frags

If you were to guess, what percentage of men in your town wear fragrances? It seems like I'm the only person in my area who wears fragrances.

>>17687650
Kek based OP
>>17687640
Not white enough for my taste

>>17687818
hahaha
good luck

Does fragrancenet get backed up often?
Ordered over the weekend, payment cleared, and it still hasn't shipped.

>>17687789
Like zero resemblance

>>17687827
Name one

Is beautinow legit? There is a greatly discounted ormonde jayne fragrance I want to buy there , but the whole website seems a bit sketchy

>>17687827
I don't need validation from internet strangers, but to say Tempo's Patchouli is the same as all other patchouli frags is pretty disingenuous. Though it just may be the way yout nose works, and you smell an amplified patchouli scent.

>>17686537
>>17686749
>>17686533
why are you lying?

>>17687757
Official frag of having a stroke.

>>17687881
You haven't smelled DHP didn't you

That's intense in your shitty pic by the way, retard

In any case, women don't really prefer dhp to anything else, they just think it smells good and that's it. No fragrance will make a woman drop her panties unless she has some kind of mental disability and some weird childhood conditioning associated with an abuse trauma

>>17687881
that's a different dior homme
also, none of them smell like soap
also, many men's scents are literally designed to smell like soap, including most of Prada's lineup
also, if you choose your fragrance depending on what 15 random women say after smelling their opening briefly on a paper strip in a video from a youtuber who literally does paid marketing for fragrances, then you are a weak-willed, insecure man with no taste of his own who will never have sex as a result of those undesirable qualities

>>17687893
Not to mention that woman say "put your balls in a good position" at the start of every video as if we men do that, so I guess she is a lesbian

>>17687893
>depending on what 15 random women say
so basically you admitting that you wear fragrances for the bois?

>I wore Ganymede to work
>After eight hours it's starting to smell like curry

What did Quentin mean by this?

>>17687680
I unironically hate all the Diptyque fragrance i've bought.
Philosykos smells like rotten cabbage that's been in the trash for a week.

>>17687897
for myself, for my gf, for the bois. certainly not for 15 women on the street some ugly slag put in a video to sell you the fragrance she was paid the most to push
smelling good to yourself is what matters the most. if a girl likes you, she'll like your perfume anyway

>>17687918
Tried this with a girl she was in love with me with Unutamam and she made me shower.(she blew me in the shower tho)

>>17687819
gay sex isn’t even real sex

>another faggot edition

All faggots will die of aids and burn in hell. OP you especially, considering you know nothing about perfumes and don't own any, and are just here to spread your faggot disease.

>>17687918
>if a girl likes you, she'll like your perfume anyway
so you said it yourself - you wear it for the strangers, so its either bois or girls

>>17687927
>personal hygiene so poor you need to be lured into washing with treats and rewards like a dog or a toddler

>>17687932
no, I wear it for myself, to smell a scent I like all day. why would I care what strangers on the street think of my fragrance?
besides, all three of the fragrances in that video are very accessible and will just smell pleasant to most people, some slightly better to some of them, some to others. it literally does not matter. the only thing you can control is your own likes and dislikes

>>17687936
Using Unutamam could be considered poor personal hygiene so , fair enough

>>17687881
What was I lying about? I just inquired about the soap you were using and saying which showergels smelled good to me. I'd still buy the DHP soap. Also I don't care about what random streetwalkers say, especially knowing that they pick fragrances for themselves and can't accurately rate what they'd like on a man (as confirmed by studies into the matter).

>>17687913
The hatred for Philosykos is justified. It's not old cabbage to me, but a very unpleasant "stinky green" scent.

>>17687929
This isn't Russia. Nobody in the West dies of aids anymore.

>>17687928
Feminine peen isnt gay

>>17687650
what the fuck is this image man hahah

>>17687980
You will.

>>17687818
Use discount codes

anyone uses this? Starts out like a female perfume, once that wears off it smells of old man sweat. Can't decide whether I like it or not.

>>17688006
never

>>17688006
Picked up a tester of this because $10. It's weird as all fuck. Starts out horrendous, quickly smooths out to some nice violet, and then gets this very powdery, gentle woodiness later on. I'm also unsure of it, and definitely apprehensive about wearing it in public.

Looking for a man’s perfume for a pseudo Ivy League environment.
Most importantly must be for very hot humid weather with a lot of sun.
Would like it to be something that can be worn frequently rather than some very elegant occasion scent.
I like scents that reflect the environment if someone can recommend something that reminds people of pic related.

>>17688070
Good recommendation

>>17688040
I'll test it in public tomorrow and I'll report back. Can confirm the changes, after the woody part it smells a lot like soap to me, but maybe I'm just in the second act

>>17687881
Why are you faggots watching YouTube videos to listen to womens opinions on anything at all, let alone fragrance

Do you wear Quorum or do you a small dick?

>>17688153
>why do you want to be appealing to women
>faggots
this is the low point of any larp. hopefully you'll grow to realise how pathetic this is

>>17688158
Hopefully you will one day learn that watching man on the street videos to pick yor frags by oppionmaxxing what random slags think smells good is the lowest tier of pathetic beta behavior.
Just be attracive and not a sniveling faggot and you can wear whatever the fuck you want and women will mind fuck themselves into believing the love how is smells because they want your dick.

>>17688155
>>17688155
I wear Rive Gauche, my dick is this huge i literally would dominate a male like pic related

>>17688155
I have a small dick yes.

>>17688158
>he thinks women really know shit about anything and can even recognize a fragrance

When will you guys learn that bitches are retarded. All they do is listen to social media shills and have no opinion of their own. They still wont recognize the shill fragrance you're wearing, even if they claim it's their favorite. Just don't smell like shit and don't be an ugly and weird faggot. That's why I don't buy normalfag shit and stick to things only I specifically like. Fuck what everyone else thinks. I can wear Rake & Ruin and still get bitches. At the same time if you give a bitch a tester strip sprayed with it she will say it's nasty.

Are fragrantica ratings a good thing to go by?
I’ve been using them as baseline to decide wether I give a fragrance a shot.
Odd thing, almost every fragrance seems to be 4.2
You’ll see some 4.1 and 4.3 but it’s just odd how many end up at this rating.
For that reason if it’s below 4.1 I won’t even look at it.

>>17688182
>Are fragrantica ratings a good thing to go by?

No. Never trust redditors, which is basically everyone outside 4chan. And in the currentt times also never trust these faggots on here that make early gay shitpost threads, post trannies, and will never post their collection. Your only advice is to never buy normalfag shit, and to only listen to your own nose. Buy samples.

>>17688161
okay hun.

>>17688181
They don't need to recognise to like the smell retard.

SOTD Mancera’s instant crush

I love the sweetness but it feels a bit too much sweet, might try layering with Encre Noir

>>17688189
>They don't need to recognise to like the smell retard.

Exactly, dumb retard bitch. So you don't watch youtube videos of people interviewing street thots and instead buy the perfume you like yourself.

Samples of Eau de Baux, Guerlain Vetiver, Green Irish tweed, and interlude black iris came in.
Eau de Baux is my favorite by a notable margin. Like it a lot. Will probably buy a bottle.
Next favorite would be the Vetiver. It’s a good smell. Kind of old personish but good nonetheless.
Next would be the green Irish tweed. Wasn’t crazy about it. Smelled mostly like the dime-a-dozen clean soapy scents you’d find at a shopping mall to me.
Last was the interlude black iris. I don’t dislike it, it’s just a very niche smell. I might like it in certain situations but it’s not a casual smell that’s for sure. Would probably take it over the Irish tweed though.

>>17688048
Green Irish Tweed could work here

>>17687907
GET BISCHED

>>17687913
I haven't hated them, but they're all unremarkable. The presentation is great though. Love the box and the labels.

I´m about blind buy into the kenzo hype. Should I go fot the EDP or the EDT Intense? Or should I just go for EN sport. As you can see I'm looking for something fresh but not extremely common and those have very good discounts in a local frag store.

>>17688193
I'm convinced that Pierre Montale isn't a real person and all Mancera and Montale fragrances are just made by pajeets and an AI generator

Ordered some Bortnikoff attars, excited to see what they are like. If anyone wants to get an oud frag for cheap Luckyscent has Bortnikoff's Sans Fleurs travel sprays on sale for $40.

thinking of getting my girl pregnant tonight so she can marry me. what fragrance do i wear

>>17688433
Lapidus pour Homme

>>17688433
The obvious answer is Secretions Magnifique.

Has anyone tried this?

>>17688155
Saw this at Ross for 20 bucks. Was thinking of grabbing it

>>17688006
its nice but you gottta put it on at least an hour before leaving the house

>>17688155
i do wear it, correct

>>17687650
Really liking the homoerotic images used in the OP for these generals

>>17688155
I wear it to remind myself of my husband

My bottle of aromatics elixir is arriving soon whatchu know about that? Prolly nothin...

>>17686324
he also explained it in an interview with some guy called leroy i think
>>17686900
knize ten
>>17687862
never ordered but i think so, was thinking of ordering something but didnt in the end. just use paypal
>>17687907
don't try extrait
>>17688048
dunhill cologne

>>17688212
You are actually retarded. The poikt of the interview isn't "do women recognise the smell" but "do women like the smell". Your impotent nagging about recognising is completely irrelevant.

>>17688757
the point of the interview is to sell you the fragrance and get you to click the video. the curly girl does paid marketing
and if you think the fact that 6 vs 3 random slags on the street picked one sweet accessible designer fragrance over another out of little paper strips means that "women like one fragrance over the other on men" then you are a lost cause

If we're being honest, as the high IQ poster has pointed out time after time, perfume should be enjoyed as an art form, independent of its utility in attracting random women on the street.

>>17688757
Well I didn't watch your shittyass interview, bitch, but at the end of the day I don't give a single shit what women say regardless. What I'm basically saying is that you can suck my dick.

>>17688764
Are you talking about me by chance? I have 147 IQ. Not bragging, just stating a fact.

>>17688769
Trust me, when he posts everybody knows about it.

>mom's birthday
>I gift her Acrasia
>sister gifts her Karl Lagerfeld for Her

Karl Who??? I think it's pretty clear who won the mombowl this year. No competition at all. She basically got swept. I'm HIM.

>>17688155
i have a small dick and i wear it.

>>17687650
sir whats a fragrance can make my girlfriend horny and want to have sex with me constantly when she smells it?

>>17688781
Rake & Ruin.

>>17688193
>layering mancera frag with EN
And this is how the fragrance world dies... With thousands of exploded noses...

>>17688781
>pick any scent for that purpose
>make her multi-orgasm while wearing it
she'll get horny next time you wear it. Maybe pick one that's not popular with the other guys, kek

>>17688856
>Do it right after eating McDonalds
>She gets horny by and for McDonalds
>This describes 95% of the American public

>>17688040
>>17688110
>>17688553
yes, after some time it's like lavender/soap I guess, a safe workday option.

>found fragrance for this feel
>found store that stocks the house
>the specific fragrance is out of stock
>email them to ask if they're expecting any
>no reply

Feel like crying. What's a different fragrance for this godlike 10/10 song?

>>17688988
definitely Ombre Leather

>>17689028
Definitely not.

>>17688775
Did she like it?

I have a really old batch of aventus that I want to preserve but also use it for special occasions with my gf.

I'm considering buying a pure oxygen tank so I can open it and spray my aventus next to it so only pure oxygen goes back inside the bottle after spraying. How beneficial would this be for the preservation of the aventus bottle?

>>17689115
ever heard of oxidation?

>>17689133
So what gas will be better

>>17689143
nitrogen (cheap), argon (expensive)

>>17689115
Just use it up, there are so many clones and so many similar smells that you can just get them nowadays

>>17689115
lol

>>17689105
Yeah obviously. She loves it. I told her it's not that much of a summer fragrance technically, but she insists on wearing it still. Sadly it's the best perfume she's ever owned. My dad is a bum and my aunt is the only one that spends money on gifts for her, but she gets her some shitty guerlains and other normalfag shit. Everyone else buys her cheap mall shit. Like Karl Lagerbum? Who???

>>17689154
Tell me one comparable to aventus (you cannot)

I tried them all by the way

>>17689175
In the last year I bought my mom:
Tempo
Lair du dessert
Mfk discovery set
Layton/pegasus/Herod/Percival 10ml bottles
Acrasia

I love my mom, but If she knew how much money I spent on smelly water for her she would kill me

>>17689175
ah yes i see you are still unable to appreciate the classics

>>17689190
>the classics

Such as? You're not talmbout Guerlain now are you?

>>17689187
>Acrasia
>02

Yes, you really do love your mom. You don't think she googled those though? Mine posted the Acrasia on her facebook and a bunch of her cougar friends went crazy.

>>17689244
I don't think so. She told me "but how much money are you spending on these?" And I said, dont worry they are pretty cheap and she uses them happily.

If I told her how expensive they are she would probably never use them . The other day she sprayed lair du desert to go to fucking LiDL lol. At least my mom is the best smelling one in the supermarket for sure.

Torn between blind buying Pacific Rock Moss or getting Vodka on the rocks (already smelled it before and I like it)
How's the performance on both?

>>17689254
>The other day she sprayed lair du desert to go to fucking LiDL lol

I literally do that. I also wonder how many people in my country have BF fragrances. Or even Tauer. I don't want anyone else smelling like my mom. Everyone around her has has to be dying of curiosity when noticing her scent.

>>17689264
>Pacific Rock Moss

Looks average as shit.

>>17689266
My mom gets crazy compliments from 02 . People don't expect a woman in her 60s smelling like that and it seems to be a fragrance that every nose picks different things , so it's mass appealing in a way.

>>17689267
I'm asking people who've tried it

>>17689264
>Pacific Rock Moss
you can get a free 10ml travel spray from luckyscent if you buy some other shit
https://www.luckyscent.com/product/366718/goldfield-and-banks-pacific-rock-moss-travel-spray-by-luckyscent-gifts-with-purchase

>>17689287
There's no way anyone in here has tried it.

>>17689288
I'm not in the us
>>17689289
It's a fairly known niche brand so you're wrong, I know at least one anon has tried it

>>17689288
How much do you have to buy in order to get a free gift? I’ve only bought samples from them but never noticed any free gift page.

>>17689303
It says on each one, they are all different. $125 for the pacific rock moss. $100 for 10 free samples.

>>17689295
>inb4 someone that hasn't tried it comes pretending they have

>>17689295
make it two. it didn't particularly stand out and if i don't look at my notes i won't remember what it smelled like. in a word: forgettable

>>17677176
>>17677176
what are their scents?

>>17689356
Drakkar Noir and Polo Green

>>17689323
I'm pretty much looking for a high quality and layered but not particularly innovative fresh scent which is what PRM seems to be

My new decants I ordered from Ecuacion natural, all three are the ones I really liked from the past 24 samples they sent me.

Hedonik is probably the only Bianchi perfume I enjoy and I was so damn tempted to buy a full bottle of Sakura, but I wanted to be conservative this time about my spendings and try it longer with a decant .

Amour sur ordenanance is extremely beautiful deep rich anise that dries down into something similar to interlude. But the bottle is tacky and the price is really high but damn, is it beautiful. If I go through the 5ml I'll get a bottle.

>>17689452
Ecuacion natural is based.

>>17688048
Burberry Classic for Men

>>17688781
Aventus

>>17687913
oud palao is great

>>17689453
They are, but they bait me so well with their samples the mfs

>>17687881
>getting your NPC programming from a literal 'BBC' whore who also shills Snoopdogs disgusting frag
My brother (in christ), never post again.

SOTD

it's so good, damn

>>17689502
Snoopdog has a frag?

Anyone tried fougere royale?
Looking for a classy summer perfume for men that’s not super mainstream.
Also anyone tried Penhaligon perfumes? They have a few that sound like they’d be good.

>>17689359
How is Aramis vs Drakkar Noir?

ahaha, wtf?

>>17689549
Snoop Dog, Soulja Boy, it's all the same

Fragrantica has now removed the Fairyland Bloop from Emoji as a fragrance allowed for the "reminds me of" section. With a bit of luck, we might finally get valid reviews of e.g. the Jeremy frags without having a million meme shit frags in that section.

>>17689561
Yes, I have. It's technically your "typical fougere", obviously, but very floral and bright-green and with a classic touch (maybe from the rose). It's very interesting and on my wanted list, certainly worth testing, but it's hard to describe because I haven't smelled anything similar. Bought a sample after smelling it at a store to investigate it further.

>>17689517
It indeed is, photorealistic woods, mouthwatering peppery spices, bombastic sillage and longevity. And on top it's made with natural ingredients. Best frag ever made.

One anon here asked for a better Wonderwood, fucking go with Bois Imperial.

Just got my first random compliment, from an older hispanic cashier at the grocery store with some big ol titties. Started unloading my food and she says in a thick accent
>chu smell yummy
took me a second to realize what she said, am wearing picrel

>>17689756
Anon is a person of interest and can bury his dick so hard in her she'll pass out.

Favorite winter, spring, summer, and fall frags?

I'm craving something with base notes of coconut but isn't retarded expensive. Options?

>>17689795
>winter

>spring

>summer
Antaeus
>winter

>>17689820
Fusion d'Issey or Fusion d'Issey Extrême
As long as you can find it cheap

>>17689517
I'm buying a sample of this soon and I hope you fags aren't memeing about this one

>>17689820
I feel like coconut just instantly makes a frag smell like bath and body works tier shit

>>17689356

Alright, going out on a limb here and posting my collection. I'm feeling pretty good about where it's at, but I feel like I just hit a wall. What should I look for next? I'm planning to cop a bottle of Azzaro Pour Homme, and then something very woody, maybe EN a'la extreme. Anyone have any other suggestions about where to go from here?

>>17689309
The 10 free samples are random though :(

>>17688006
i got a bottle of this and it’s definitely the weirdest fougere in my collection. extremely green at the opening, very sharp at points, but never boring to be sure.

>>17690024
Hey man I want to smell like a basic white bitch okay

>>17690080

Aramis is a very dry leather chypre. It isn't sweet at all. To me it conjures an image of older male authority in a work setting, like if your grandfather was going to work in a suit and hat. It's very good but I find it hard to wear casually. It would have gotten cloying in the Miami heat and besides was probably a bit dated for tubbs and Crockett.

Drakkar Noir on the other hand is a fairly sweet creamy fougere. You have undoubtedly smelled it as shaving cream smelled like it for years due to the scents popularity.

They may also have worn Jovan sex appeal and antaeus/kouros when undercover.

>>17690080
Don't listen to the philistines they don't know what they are talking about.

If you like quorum you will likely also really like yatagan, which is easily one of the all time greats of men's perfumery. Not particularly woody except for the line more, but it's worth sampling at least once just to say you've smelled it.

any thoughts on aramis new west?

Orange X Santal smells really nice but the performance seems abysmal. Too bad

>>17690080
LMAOOOOOOO

SOTD DHI
I got expensive niche juices in my collection but I still just rotate the same couple of frags instead. 150 mL of DHI didn't even last two years. I could easily afford to wear something more expensive every day, but I just don't want to. These ones are perfect and just work for me. I got backups for all of these except PE, which I will pick up again next.

I should probably sell everything else in my collection as I simply don't wear it.

>>17690490
Post collection so I can decide what I want to take from you.

>>17690493
Nah, I can't really be bothered. Just gonna list them on parfumo in July or August. It's mostly stuff similar to what I like the most, so more lavender, sandalwood or barbershop stuff.

>>17690503
Also not gonna get rid of 3e and Antaeus. They are actually in my rotation as well, although less often than the others by now.

>>17690503
None of these are interesting.

>>17690510
Like I said, can't be bothered to post my collection, Mr. Gothrockanon.

>>17690511
Come on it will take you no more than 5 minutes.

>>17689795
A complete meme. Spray less in the summer and more in the winter. Problem solved.
>>17690226
You already found the sluttiest one in existence, viva la juicy

>>17690503
>>17690490
Good taste.

>>17690490
How is Egoiste now? I wanna try it but I feel like I should just go all in and cop a vintage bottle to get the full experience

My F/W frag is jazz club, what should I get for summer?
Also thoughts on coccobello by heeley?

Bros… 1.5ml for 5 bucks or 10ml for 22 bucks? Blind buy…

>>17690657
1.5. I love Bois imperial, but why would you waste more money than necessary. If you like it, then go for the full bottle

>Fresh Patchouli Pure
Cinnamon, patchouli, and tonka. But kept light and fresh with citruses and ginger. Not really a fan of this cinnamon and I never like tonka but it's an interesting take on patchouli.

>Acqua di Parma Blue Mediterraneo Mandorlo di Sicilia
At first I couldn't tell what it reminded me of but "root beer float" is the closest description I've found. I get the almond and vanilla but there's more going on. A little bit minty to my nose at first, although that's not a listed note. Maybe that's due to the anise. Another interesting one until the drydown which is nice enough but not unique.

>Creed Viking Cologne
Smells like a modern take on cologne or shaving cream my dad used. Citrus, lavender, vetiver. Not bad. Definitely smells like a Creed to me.

>Amouage Interlude Man
Dark and dry. It's not the darkest thing I've smelled, but it's up there. Smoke/incense, dirt, wood. Just a little bit sweet. The drydown is relatively wearable, I get mostly leather and oud. It's a good one, just not for everyone.

>>17690075
This is a cheap masterpiece

This is good taste but kind of boring

I got my first paycheck in Spain In my new job and it's close to three thousand.

Is aventus worth it in 2023?

>>17687982
this way to the shower, never mind the wooden doors.

i asked a girl what her favorite mens cologne was, and only replied "something fresh"
are there any fresh men's cologne? the few i've been around always been quite dank

>>17690698
Nah I'm good, I don't need a shower when I have a full bottle of King Kouros

>>17690310
The modern DN does not taste so sweet to me, but still has the familiar note that you describe. Dakar is supposed to be a good clone, or can the original scent be recreated by layering the modern formula with something mossy?

>>17690704
She doesn't seem to care too much so just get something basic like Sauvage or Bleu De Chanel or Versace Pour Homme. They're fresh, easy to find, and likeable to most people.

Just blindbought 10 ml of this for 24 euros incl. shipping

Saw reviews and people saying that it smells exactly like a campfire. I slightly agree but it does lean to the "perfumy" fire if you get what I am saying. It's not an exact fire, but something you expect from perfumes if they would try to recreate a campfire.

I love the sweet notes added to it, it makes the firey smell more neutral

im shit at reviews but 8/10, would wear on the colder days or maybe summer nights

Thoughts on QAF? Kinda want to pick this up but I'm worried about it leaning a little too feminine since it's labeled as a unisex frag. Is it really that sweet?

>>17690733
Every fragrance is unisex realistically

>>17690692
no

>>17690733
Yes, it's sweet but still masculine. Try Zara Vibrant Leather Bogoss, its the original one and little bit more masculine (yes, arabs brands now copy zara)

>>17690733
>random no name arab frag
>is it really that sweet
Yes im sure it is
The fragrantica reviews are really selling it
>This blasts everyone around you, my friend says I smell like a mid-30s arab man that works at a mall kiosk.
>My biggest issue with this fragrance is the saffron is too strong for about two hours, once the saffron calms down it smells more pleasant, and smoothly pineapple.
>It's better than I expected, I actually quite like it, even tho I'll probably never wear it since I have much better option
>To get a better idea of how this smells think of pineapple on pizza.

Stop being retarded and get some taste. For real. Some of you guys itt need beatings I swear.

>>17690785
Nope, why


Why recent batches of aventus are not worth it by the way?

>>17690829
>Why recent batches of aventus are not worth it by the way?
Watered down, price has gone way up, worse performance, less smokey birch then the old batches
It lasts maybe half as long as the bottles from 2012 while costing 50% more

>>17690829
To recommend a store where you could go to try niche perfumes
Try Loewe Esencia EDP, way better than new Aventus batches and cheaper.

>>17687650
Couldn’t you pick a less gay picture?

>>17690732
Which is better, this or Jazz Club?

>>17690853
If it's secret du Marais, I buy from them regularly and I sampled aventus and I really like it, but yeah, the performance of the 2022 batch I tried was total shit

I just want to make myself a nice gift

Why is it so fucking hard to find a fragrance, especially designer, with good performance nowadays?
I mean fuck every time I find something I like, it also lasts for three hours and/or doesn't project

>>17690856
No, this OP has been making these NSFW shitpost threads early and linking them late in the old thread so he can spam his reddit charts in the first two posts. He also owns no perfumes.

>>17690892
First because everything is watered down and made as cheap as possible to squeeze more profit.
Second because people don't smoke indoors anymore, so fragrances have been toned down and made more polite so they aret seen as overbearing.
If you want strong designer frags test the first batch when the fragrance is released, if you like it buy several bottles immediately from the same store because the formula will be cheapened and watered down and if you go to buy a new bottle years later it probably won't be like your old one.

Al Rehab Silver is so fucking good. I like Silver Mountain Water, it's sharp and citrusy, metallic. But it gets that vintage feel to it.
Creed seem very good for my taste, some retards call it old mens scents, i call it classics.
>>17690853
This. Esencia Edp and Al haramain L'Aventure are the best clones

I'm German but Pour Un Homme might just make the cut, I haven't really decided yet. I'm gonna sell the ones I haven't really worn more than a few times first. I want to pick up Chypre Palatin and L'Air du Desert Marocain, but I told myself I gotta sell stuff first. If I put it up for sale, I'll drop a hint into one of these threads.

>>17690577
Thanks.

>>17690600
It's fine, I'd say? Someone told me I smell like christmas when I wore it. I don't know what the vintage smelled like, so I'm not worried about that. I like the current version as is. Lasts really long on me.

>>17690690
I gotta be honest, that is the reason why I continued sampling and getting other stuff. Was hoping to find something I like more, because those are pretty much just designers. But as it turns out, that didn't really happen. Pour Monsieur might have to go for Chypre Palatin, Voyage d'Hermes is a really good citrus-tea frag, but my desire for citrus is satisfied by Eau Sauvage Parfum, and that's about it.

>>17690692
Brother, just go to a store and test it.

>>17690732
No direct campfire smell for me, but it's the smell of roasting marshmallows on a campfire. Too sweet, I passed.

>>17690880
That entirely depends on your nose/personal preference so just go to a store and test them.

>>17690880
No idea man, I haven't smelled Jazz Club before but I read that Jazz Club is more boozy.

>>17691055
Yeah I can imagine finding it too sweet, after 5-6 hours only the vanilla is left but fuck it some of my other frags smell like nothing after 6 hours so it's something

But yeah, it's something that you wear more during the christmas season or when it's "cozy"time. I can't imagine wearing this to the office or something

>>17690880
I had both as samplers, for me Autumn Vibes, Jazz Club and Fireplace were similar. Jazz Club had more nuance, bought a 30ml of it, my usual evening out frag. Autumn Vibes I'll finish the sampler, in fall, and will not pursue. Current darker favourite is Tragedy of Lord George - to give an idea what I like.

I like smokey whiskies, but not too smokey frags, I guess. Been drinking Talisker for 15 years at this point. Also like actual fires, smoked meats & Finnish tar shampoo.

>>17691040
Yes, slowly believing that fragrances are a ploy to get us sick, next to micro plastic, hormones in tap water.
I realised it when Morillas wore a tie with snake on it, very suspicious to me. Also when search for perfumers favorite fragrance you will learn that most prominant perfumers never wear fragrance.
But i'm so deep into this hobby, wasted thousand of bucks that it's impossible for me to quit.

I wanna 3D print a sample organizer but I'm not sure how to design it. What do you guys use to store your samples? I have way too many.

Creative anons, have you tried mixing fragrances in a bottle to create something new, or make something entirely from scratch?

>>17691582
I mixed Quorum and Bogart Signature. It's good.

>>17691166
Depending on your vial size, a bullet tray for reloading works really well. I'm a burger and hasguns, so I just use one from an old box of .45 ammo. It fits the 2ml spray vials perfectly. The only downside is that they are all tightly spaced, so I sometimes have to pick each one up to read the label. Alternatively you could get a nice piece of wood and drill however many 10-12mm holes you want and use that for samples. In fact I like the idea of doing that myself.

Noob here, got some new samples today bros
We’ll start with the imaginary authors
I smelled some of these in person at a local place and most of them stuck me immediately as synthetic and amateurish
Two caught my interest though specifically as examples of styles I don’t usually like but that I didn’t mind
>Memoirs of a Trespasser - vanilla for those who don’t like vanilla
Initially got a blast of freshly charred oak and it toes the line between burning wood and toasty vanilla marshmallow the whole time, but it’s still just too sweet. I need a nice dry vanilla or something, Eau de Beaux maybe? Whatever I’m saving the rest of this sample for Christmas
>Every Storm a Serenade - marine for those who don’t like marine
Starts with a nice wet pine but goes from there to just so much unpleasant aloe vera/vapor rub. About 3 hours in I started getting the nice salty marine smell of what I assume is something ambergris-ish? Like the smell just getting out of a pool, I like this part but it takes too long to get there.
Tomorrow we try Bois imperial…. And MOLECULE 01 + GINGER. Stay tuned

SOTD Wood Neroli
A softer take on Neroli. It has a creamy, white woods drydown.
Dreamed today about a pale white girl i kissed and we saw eachother in the eyes, while we say "i love you".

Bois Imperial is the pinnacle of woodsy scents. Photorealistic, natural, bombastic longevity.

Does anyone here use Dior Homme 2011/Original as their daily frag? And does it actually smell like lipstick or does that idea stem from retards regurgitating fragrantica comments? I haven't been able to try it out yet but I am unreasonably curious about all Dior Homme frags and especially 2011/Original.

>>17691349
>I’ve had it with this board and general
fucking finally. don't let the door hit you on the way out, faggot

>>17691719
the Parfum is my favorite fragrance for going out, but Original and Intense are nice too
I don't get any lipstick from them, but maybe I just haven't smelled old school iris lipstick much. but I think the average person smelling you would never think you smell of lipstick, it seems like either autosuggestion to me, or something a small minority of people get
the Intense is the easiest to try in stores. the Original is lighter, less sweet and probably more versatile and fresh, but performance is mediocre from what I remember. the Parfum the heaviest and most complex with extra leather, sandalwood and rose

>>17691349
>I’ve had it with this board and general
Yeah, well I'm not OP but if this is what made your whiny ass finally leave, I'll take it. Also I don't give a shit about your opinion of my frags. I know you haven't smelled most of them, because this is what this general often does - shit talk frags they haven't tested.

>>17691356
Those fragrances are some of the best designer offerings out there and even for gothrockers they could serve as a nice reference.

>>17691654
I got a full bottle of Memoirs (and Eau des Baux), the dusty vanilla is as dry as it gets. Most other vanilla frags are sweeter, while Eau des Baux is very different with its incense and tonka. Both of them are some of the less sweet vanilla frags, though.

>>17691719
I've emptied my 150 mL bottle of Dior Homme Intense, which is way more lipsticky in the opening than Dior Homme Original. When I first smelled it, I associated it with lipstick as well, but since then, my gf doesn't use lipstick which smells like iris at all, and as a result other things smell lipsticky to me now. The drydown is just lightly peppered and powdery woods, so it's important to give it a full test. DHO is less lipsticky and goes a slightly different route (powdery cacao), but the performance just ain't there for me. So to answer your question - I use a version of it basically daily, its opening absolutely smells lipsticky, the drydown doesn't and you should just test it. If you can't find DHO, try DHI, and if you just can't get into it I doubt you'd like DHO, either.

>>17691732
Nah, for my taste DH2020 and especially DH Sport 2020 are the best Dior Hommes . Bought a decant of DHS 2020 and wtf it's a woody incense bomb with little citrused on top.

Office for Men literally is an another blue freshie smelling fragrance, but not the based old way of style with lavender(Cool Water, Polo Sport). When you own Bleu de Chanel, Y Ysl, Hawas(better than Office for Men), Invictus or any freshie with an apple note you don't need Office for Men.

I trusted Jeremy claiming it's the best fresh fragrance on the market. Literally any blue fragrance in the direction of Bdc or Sauvage will make Office for men redundant. Absolute kek that people bought it back then for full retail price.
Some reviews say that it's a mix between Sauvage and Aventus. Don't get any references of it from that scent. Especially the creamy musk in the drydown isn't there.

>>17692304

Bois Imperial smells like fresh cut woods, photorealistic saw dust. A dream for any niche enthusiast.
But Mr. Bisch due to his masterful perfumery skills combined the already incredible natural smelling dry woods with mouthwatering peppery spices. The notes together will make you a darling to any female out there.
But that's not all: the longevity is so bombastic that it stay on your clothes for 2 days.
