Reminder to not trust reddit charts. Buy a cheapie from your local store after testing it then start getting samples online of notes and combinations you think you would enjoy from houses that seem cool to you. Test and buy full bottles after.

>you do realize that not having the actual fragrance and just looking at it in youtube reviews is still having it, right?

This is how dude operates.

Just got my imaginary authors sample set. tried cape heartache and falling into the sea first

began with
>cape heartache
most excited to try but kind of disappointing. it opens with a VERY strong strawberry scent. very feminine opening - it was not a masculine strawberry
now it started to rest and all i smell is woody notes
7/10, expected more

>falling into the sea
it lists a citrus note as the main note. it opened up and it is the first ever citrus scent where the word of air freshener or toilet cleaner came up into my mind. for some reason it smells aquatic, fresh. safe to blindbuy. performance seems to be mediocre at best.

>>17711872
this is how who operates now? lol @ this coming from the guy whining about ESLs

>kinda yucky
You're mentally ill my dude. I get that you're against recommendations which makes sense because I'd rather smell fragrances on my body first before buying a bottle. It's people like you that make here a toxic place. I guess I'll go back to /r/fragrances now.

>>17711909
i’m not against recommendations. i’m against bad taste, spoonfeeding, and above all i’m especially against posters who feel the need to attention whore and form internet personas on an anonymous imageboard.

>>17711925
you’ve been reading these threads too much

It's really unfortunate that NYI has a no-no word in the name, otherwise I'd straight up blind buy it.

>>17711929
trust me, there are much worse cities in the JewS than jew york. call me when they name one los angeles intense or chicago intense.

>>17711923
I did. I didn’t spend more than $1/ml for vintage bottles and $0.5/ml for modern versions. But that was during Covid times when retards thought they would never be able to go out again.

>this here piece of poo smells a bit worse than this here other piece of poo so that makes it ok

Still no you.

>>17711873
Interesting perspective on Falling Into The Sea, I've never minded cleaner scents so that comparison didn't even come into my mind, but based on my experience I definitely wouldn't blind buy it though. Did you get the full collection set or just a couple of them?

>>17711931
vintage guerlains are usually dirt cheap yeah, but i thought the assumption was that it was either MSRP or off discounters. regardless, current guerlains are surprisingly impossible to get from discounters nowadays. i’ve bought all of mine from IRL boutiques.
>>17711934
what in the goddamn are you rambling about, you stupid fuck.

>>17711925
>Dior Homme Parfum
>$110 (as in United States Dollars?)
Where?

>>17711939
I didn’t make that assumption. But now that I look, even eBay doesn’t have cheap Guerlains anymore. I bought my 200ml bottle of an online discounter for $40 a couple years ago. Now they’re pricey. People should’ve listened to me when I was shilling Guerlains back then.

>>17711957
expecting the morons in this thread to listen to anything other than youtubers and porn addicts is a tall order.

>>17711963
And the other retard wearing a suit wit a turtle neck. Nigga is gay

>>17711960
>”that dude on the left”

>>17711950
sorry, that's just roughly how much I bought it for in Europe last year. nowadays it's hardly available even here at a decent price. idk if it's discontinued or just got so much hype that people are buying this relatively limited release out faster than Dior makes it, I'm guessing it's the latter

>>17711913
give ur rec monkey (you prob smell like one too lool) #ownd

>>17711999
how quaint.

>>17711884
no worries, i think these frags fit the bill (all with a hefty dose of coconut of course)

I'm a giga pleb and currently use explorer anything similar, cheap and ok?

>>17712008
cheaper than explorer and similar zara vibrant leather, both shit btw, but at least zara is cheap.
If you want something better and similar buy Loewe Esencia EDP.

>>17712008
I'm just gonna recommend that you DON'T buy Cedrat Boise. Despite any YouTube shilling, that fragrance smells cheaper than Explorer while being 3x the price. Don't do it.

>>17711871
Jomashop is real? I see their prices sometimes when I google frags and thought it was a scam

>>17712039
in blind tests it was rated better than creed

>>17712048
They're a grey market dealer. Their stuff is legit. Fragrances are overpriced shit in general anyways. There's cheap middle eastern stuff that performs better than most designer/niche stuff out there.

>>17712053
In a single video where people sniff a tester strip briefly? These are pretty useless.
On skin it smells like skittles and smoke. Really bad.

>>17711930
gimmie some Atlanta Black

>>17712068
my batch has zero smokiness and smells fruity af

>>17712071
yeah, fruity af sounds about right for you.

>>17712056
damn wtf I always thought it was a scam. I wish I remembered what frags I saw on there for cheap

>>17712056
they have eau Sauvage extreme on here. you sure its real?

>>17712080
Yes my nigga, I've bought tons of fragrances and watches on Jomashop because they were the lowest price on the internet. Because they're grey market, you don't get official warranties with the watches but I do get Jomashop warranty. I think for the Seiko watches I bought they give 3 years warranty.

>>17712080
Not him, but Eau Sauvage extreme is pretty common in Europe. it's not some rare discontinued unicorn

>>17712068
It's a million times better than Explorer which has a headache inducing amount of ambroxan.

>>17711834
Can someone link those reddit charts? I have yet to see anything as good as the charts in this thread anywhere on reddit (or on any forum, for that matter).

>>17712105
On Parfumo people say it isn't remotely a clone of Aventus, it smell even like smoky citruses, which reminds me of CdNIM. What people describe as smoky is actually really bad synthetic smelling floor cleaner smell.

>>17712164
>he goes on reddit

You are the reddit charts. See >>17712164

>>17711935
No, I got a sample set and the perfumerie I got it from was kind enough to also include a sample of falling into the sea. Keep in mind my nose is kind of shite so it might not be as accurate. That beign said, I really can't stand citrus smells on myself because it reminds me of cleaning products/laundry detergent.
I don't have enough skin to smell all of them today, but I'll report back on the other ones. Do you have any that you can recommend from IA?
>>17711899
Will report back when I've tried it anon. I did try saint julep. Man, I don't know how to describe it but I''ve never smelled something like this before. I think it's the mix of subtle mint, tangerine slight hint of aquatic notes

But it's a really intimate scent, in the sense that it sits pretty close to your skin and goes away pretty quickly lol

>>17712184
>I did try saint julep. Man, I don't know how to describe it but I''ve never smelled something like this before

Literally mint plus a cube of sugar.

>>17712191
yeah my nose isnt as developed so that can be true as well
but if it would stay longer id buy a bottle of it

>>17711848
50 bottles of Jeanne en Provence Neroli Intense and a pack of 4711 refreshing towels.

>>17711873
I forgot to mention that when somebody else tested Falling Into The Sea earlier, but I think it's absolutely vile. It came for free with my bottle of Memoirs of a Trespasser and it's shit. Just floral with an artifical lichee, one dimensional, bad performance. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone, especially not as a blindbuy.

>>17712198
Just cheat and look at the notes on fagnatica.

>>17712179
Look, I just wanna see the charts for reference. I only browse r/cumhaters and I've obviously not seen the charts on there. Some people mention the reddit charts every thread, so I'm sure someone has them?

You're trying too hard.

>>17712209
Wrong. No one in this thread is trying hard enough, not even me.

We are failing to live up to the example the high IQ poster set for us.

I am the high IQ poster. Yes you are failing.

SOTD Terre Eau Tres Fraiche. Perfect for the middle of July.

Can someone who has it tell me about Yatagan?

>>17711831
You should really include https://www.ecuacionnatural.com/
And
https://lulua.pl/
For perfume vendors for Europe in the main. I ain't even shilling.

>>17712290
you can find both of them under W2C samples
what we should really add either to samples or to full bottles is https://www.lesecretdumarais.com/

>$200 smelly water

>>17712283
What do you want to know?

It's great, it smells like nothing else I have smelled. It starts with a piney sour aromatic smell and eventually settles down to an animalic muskiness. It isn't sweet at all. It is my girlfriend's favourite scent on me.

>>17712337
I've seen the pine mentioned repeatedly. Does it bear any resemblance to Pinesol, or is it something else?

I'm seriously tempted to give it a blind buy, mainly because it's almost universally described as unique, and that holds a lot of value to me.

this stuff is honestly pretty good as far as aquatics go

Lel

>>17712544
so based on those charts, the most popular frags on /frag/ are:
>New York Intense
>Zino
>Dior Homme Parfum
>Encre Noire Sport

>>17712551
/frag/ has good taste, somefuckinghow.

>>17712551
You only need Zino and Encre Noire Sport to be happy, the rest is pure consumerism.

>>17712365
No the last non but he gives a sound to what yatagan smells like. It doesn’t smell like pinecol. It reminds me of the mid atlantic coastal pines. I wouldn’t say it very animalic. My wife likes it too. You can blind buy it. It is unique and if you like the outdoors it’ll probably smell good to you.

>>17712184
So I just got done with City On Fire for the evening and it's the best one I've tried so far, they nailed the burnt match smell. If Encre Noire makes me feel like I'm camping in the Everglades, then this makes me feel like I just put out a campfire while in the Everglades, it's very fun and quite masculine feeling. My gf also liked it, but she said it had a vaguely medicinal quality to her, so if you're looking for compliments ymmv. Overall though it's a strong recommendation, the other anon shilling it did not lead me astray.

A close second, though I've only done a quick test and not a full day, is The Soft Lawn. If you like those grassy natural smells but want something that still feels fun and light I'd recommend trying it out at least. I'll prolly give it the full day tomorrow. Performance for both frags mentioned is also fantastic, so no worries there.

I think I got a fake, but I can't be sure. Anyone have the DHO bottle? Can you check something for me, please?

1) What's the font of "Perfums Christian Dior" on the bottom
2) What's the weight of the bottle? Mine was exactly 250g for a 50ml
3) Does the cap has 2 smooth edges and 2 sharp ones? This feels like and obvious mistake
4) Is DIOR HOMME centered on the collar?
5) Does the CD on the atomizer button match the CD on the top of the cap?
6) Is there any symbol inside the cap? Not on the top, but on the inside where the atomizer would be.
7) Are the bottom edges of the cap sharp or smooth?

I think I got got. My Dior Homme Intense 2020 bottle feels luxurious and heavy, and the DHO bottle feels light. Please help me out, or just call me a faggot w/e.

>>17712759
this crap isn’t nearly good enough to justify all this effort

>>17712775
If it's this bottle then yea it's dogshit. It lasts about 15 minutes. It's just a weak woody smell and absolutely nothing interesting. That's another reason why I think it's a fake. There's armies of people cumming over how good this juice is supposed to be, and it seems like a boring embarrassment.

>>17712777
Where did you buy it?
I don't have a bottle to compare, but if it's a shady website, then that is kind of a dead giveaway.
Also the longevity is very suspicious.
If you live with someone, ask if you can spray on them, to test longevity, you're less likely to go nose blind.

>>17712795
the greatest market on earth - Ebay; from a place with thousands of sales and a perfect rating.
To test longevity I sprayed DiorHommeIntense (new) on one arm and this shit on the other. This stuff has gone out twice in the last couple of hours while the DHI is still going strong.

>>17712838
>Ebay
Yeah it's fake, they may have even decanted a real but empty bottle.

>>17712838
>>17712777
DHO is definitely weaker than DHI, but it should be a similar powdery iris scent, not just woody

>>17711848
Platinum Egoiste
Fahrenheit
Musc Ravageur
Antaeus
Un Jardin Sur Le Nil

>>17712878
reads like babby just discovered 80s powerhouses 3 weeks ago

>>17712887
only two of these are from the 80s bro. and they're not even similar

>>17711848
There is a low probability you would like more than 1 even if I named 5, fragrances are just that subjective
I have probably tried like 50+ samples and wear 2-3 fragrances out of them regularly

>>17712759
1, check picrel.
2, no clue becuase mine is half empty and a 100 mL
3, all edges on the cap are the same
4, Homme is centered in both directions, Dior is offset to the left of it (obviously)
5, no
6, also no. interestingly enough, DHI has the bee there, DHP has nothing there, Eau Sauvage Parfum has the CD logo, Sauvage Elixir has the bee.
7, all edges sharp

>>17712895
were all of them from the 80s, you’d have just discovered 80s powerhouses a week ago instead of 3 weeks ago. an extra 2 weeks is plenty time to branch out to adjacent masculines.

Honorable mention: Dakar Al-Rehab in moderate weather

>>17711848
Depends a bit on style, age and profession, but here's a few classy masculine ones to check out

Nicolai - New York intense.
Creed - Royal oud
Bogue - o/e
Terre d'Hermes
Dior Homme Parfym

>>17712759
>6) Is there any symbol inside the cap? Not on the top, but on the inside where the atomizer would be.
>7) Are the bottom edges of the cap sharp or smooth?
No
Sharp. All others "smooth".

>>17713002

>>17711831
I like girly scents
What are good men's that smell not aggressive but present enough and long lasting?

Been rocking this for the past month in office, club, and beach

Anybody else who owns Bergamask has had experience with growing ansomic to it quick?

>>17711831
I shit on this Hugo a while back for being one step above ace body spray but it’s actually gotten a lot of compliments over the last couple of weeks. I guess I’m wrong.

>>17712365
Nothing like pinesol, it's more vegetal than that. It also has a kind of sweaty cuminy thing which is (unlike how I've described it) very nice.

People describe it like celery soup on fire, which kind of gets to it, it has a earthy vegetal thing going on and the pine can give it some smokiness.

>>17713019
Are you just looking for unisex fragrances? Because the market is huge and filled with them.

>>17713026
It’s the most versatile fragrance I know.

>>17712986

I buy weird niche frags but I'm not a kissless virgin just so you know.
