that's quite fortunate, because it's definitely one of their better scents

Just bought MM Replica "Sailing Day" because I wanted an aquatic, did I do good? Thoughts on the Replica line?

>>17713842
lol, lmao, rofl even

>>17713842
>Thoughts on the Replica line
overpriced for designer scents made by L'Oreal and pretty mediocre overall. that being said, I haven't smelled that one. but could have probably been replaced with some 20$ aquatic

>Another MMM question
It really starts to feel like Eternal September in here.

>>17713850
can you blame the normalfags for gunning straight for the hippest bottle they see on their local sephora shelf?

>>17713848
Fair enough, only grabbed a 10ml travel size, just getting into frags. I always use scentless deodorant but I needed something in a hurry, starting to get hot here and I'm paranoid of stinking. I'm thinking of getting an Imaginary Authors sampler, I hear they're good. Where can I find these 20$ frags that compare to what sephora has?

Nothing wrong with liking packaging, Rick uses the hair dye he uses because he likes the bottle.

>>17713917
nothing wrong with appreciating bottle aesthetics. Maison Margiela must be doing something right in that department, because I think they're selling well. and their naming convention is clever, though the fragrances themselves tend to be more conventional and mass-market smelling than what they convey
I think Hermes is the best of the "I'm not like the other designers" crowd though, they're good at standing out while still being easy to like and they actually have in-house perfumers and shit

if you want a cheap freshie you can grab Encre Noire Sport, it's very nice though a bit of a weak performer. if you want a REALLY cheap freshie, Jeanne en Provence Acqua is pretty good. a nice aquatic with rose and pine

just saw this H24 clone in the local Carrefour. pretty funny, I love wonky clones. the opening smelled a lot like the original, but the drydown missed the mark, it smelled heavier, less fresh and just a lot worse

>>17713937
Awesome, appreciate the advice, I'll look into those.

I bought a sample of Musc Ravageur a few weeks ago and instantly fell in love, I immediately bought a 100ml bottle. Such a sexy scent. This and Zaharoff Royale XXX are two fragrances I have that I would describe as smelling sexy and I want more, any recommendations?
I wish fragrantica would add fragrances from smaller brands like Zaharoff and City Rhythm in a more timely manner

Alright, I was gonna try The Soft Lawn but switched to Saint Julep today instead since it seems pretty divisive. The main draw, the mint note, is pretty good. It smells kinda like how your mouth feels after chewing gum. Only other fragrance I've tried is You Or Someone Like You, and compared to that it's definitely a lot less natural, doesn't really have that "fresh plant" tinge to it. The sugar note definitely adds sweetness, but there's something else kinda fruity that adds texture to it so it's not just raw sugar. I think it's a lot less feminine than YOSLY, but if you want mint specifically I prefer the more natural green mint scent of the two. Still recommend though, I like it. Second best of the five I've tried so far.

>>17714272

I've been trying out Grey Flannel the last few days, and I've come to a conclusion: it's supposed to be mixed with cigarette smoke.

I like whispers in the library a lot for the office. Paid 68 euros for 100 ml the other day , great scent

>>17714520
yeah it smells nice but every fragrance in that line has no projection and disappears within a few hours so it sucks.

>>17714524
I got compliments in the office saying that they can smell it everywhere I pass . The projection for the first two hours at least is good, then its a personal bubble that I can smell all shift and I can smell it on my shirt the day after. I think the performance is good enough

Guys i cant get enough of JPG le beau le parfum

>>17714526
how does it work anyway? I have a feeling that even if I spray only once per wrist and can smell it only if I hold the wrist close to my nose other people will be able to pick it up easily, or at least on a subconscious level

>>17714378
Just go to a store and sniff stuff. Otherwise there really isn't anything we can do for you, unless you want people to drop their personal favorites on you which you might end up hating if you just buy them.

>>17714449
Cuba Prestige is the only one I tried and it's actually good. Bought the big one to get free shipping (spending 6€ to save 4€) and I was positively surprised. Sure, it's a sweet gourmand in the style of A*Men, but it has a way stronger tobacco smell than I expected. The opening is different from the drydown and the stuff is properly powerful on me. A twodimensional fragrance with good performance for a price like that can't really be beaten.

>>17714565
but what has that to do with anything? smelled some fruity guy wearing an overdose of adg profumo in the tram on the way into the city, doesn't make him straight just because i knew what it was. pretty sure most gays also recognize e.g. antaeus, cool water and kouros, they seem to be super popular among them. plenty of discussions on other forums about those with very select participants.

>>17714577
kek, I have both and thought about adding cool water to my collection, too, no homo

>>17714577
>>17714578
cool water is popular among guys period, not just gay ones. antaeus, le male, and kouros on the other hand are all coded into gay culture. know the difference, it could save your life.

>>17714583
damn, it's basically a club fragrance for me, but now it seems that I can't wear it to the club anymore. those are just classic fragrances ffs

>>17714586
le male is not and will never be a classic. the rest are, maybe give it another decade or two and they’ll lose their cultural connotations the same way no one seems to remember that guerlain was the brand of choice for the cocottes of old.

>>17714589
>le male is not and will never be a classic

Idk, sounds like a classic to me

>>17714589
guess I'll just have to wear it anyway. I also wear pink and lavender shirts, so if anything it will just complete the look and I'll have to reject some guys

>>17714566
No idea to be honest, but I guess that noseblindess pays a part in that. Some fragrances make you noseblind quick and others don't . That's probably why people say whispers in the library has poor performance, probably people get noseblind really quick.

if you must wear a jacket (and if i were you i would, but i always wear a jacket without exception) then go for open weave wools, seersucker or lightweight linens. assuming your climate is tropical enough, you will still sweat a little (you probably would even if you went nude), but you won’t be as drenched as you would be in tweed or flannel. i strongly recommend putting a handkerchief in your coat pocket, i never leave the house without one.
your other option is to go jacketless, think a half unbuttoned OCBD with a sleeveless undershirt, rolled up sleeves, light colored chinos/trousers and loafers. this is tricky to get right, but the main key is to show intent in the way you dress your outfit down. everything must have a sort of logic behind it that generally points towards the basic idea of aiming towards keeping cool.

Though based on your tastes I'd be kinda surprised if you didn't already have it.

>>17715178
Cost-benefit, it’s literally the best thing you can buy and recommend to someone who wants something unusual (Lalique in general).
Its only problem is longevity

>>17715193
it’s really not the fucking best thing for anything. even in the realm of cheapies, there are a zillion forgotten old masculines and feminines that were composed by infinitely more talented perfumers and sell for pennies today because their manufacturers dont really give a shit about them anymore, and most of them are exponentially stranger and more unusual than some mediocre dry vetiver. you people live in such a tiny fucking world.

>>17715178

>>17715205

>>17715172
I do not and it doesn't sound all too interesting to me, I have a bottle of EN that I like dearly but I understand that the a l'Extreme is more smokey than resinous, still very much focused on vetiver rather than incense, and sweeter than EN, so it seems like a middle ground I wouldn't enjoy very much.
Still, thanks for the suggestion.
>>17715178
Encre Noire is probably the current production frag with the highest quality to price ratio, it's no wonder why it's popular in a place where people who don't have much money to spend on frags gather.

>>17715201
>it’s really not the fucking best thing
It is not, but you can buy Encre Noire for 15/18€ in Europe, and nothing can beat that perfume for that price, and the whole line for about 60€. I know there are great perfumes from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s that can be bought for little money but I still don’t get why you’re being a snob.
You want us to give you a round of applause for being cool in 4chan, anon?

>>17715219

>>17715160

>>17715223
at 18 euros, i’d rather buy cabochard, halston, brut, zino or even cool water. there are so many perfumes being sold for pennies and this thread somehow managed to latch onto the most boring one.

>>17715232
Those are great, and you can buy Encre Noire too. You can make a fantastic collection with the perfumes you have named and Encre Noire, It’s not like buying one limits you buying the others kek
I still prefer Encre Noire Sport to Cool Water for example, they have a similar price here

>>17715223
>I still don’t get why you’re being a snob

He doesn't own any fragrances and is 24/7 butthurt and screeching at people that do. Fox and the grapes type beat.

>>17715232
cool water is more boring than encre noire. I'd rather get zino than encre noire but really they're both great deals. EN is one dimensional but works very well and lasts me a long time

>>17715242
i don’t think you understand, encre noire isn’t even in the same league as any of those fragrances. bothering with it after having owned any of those is like giving a shitty ass rock band like muse time of day after having heard mozart. it’s literally not worth anyone’s time or money, unless said person’s time is worthless to begin with.
>>17715247
cool water is boring to you because you’ve smelled it a billion times. on a level playing field without the cultural context, it is a total masterclass in blending the lavender aspects of the fougere accords to transfigure the aromatic fougere into something else entirely. being as ubiquitous as the dot dot dot dash from beethoven’s 5th doesn’t detract from the absolute genius behind either one.
>>17715244
i’m sure you wish that were true, gothrock homo.

>>17715178

Spot on. Low iq anons think they are so clever getting a high quality frag at 20 bucks just because Lalique sell it for 100 bucks at their website.

>Cost-benefit, it’s literally the best thing
>>17715219
>highest quality to price ratio
Agree, but lol. Quality is 35€ (nice bottle and minimalistic aproach to perfumery) and you can get a bottle for 18-20€. That's all. It's just and iso-e super bomb with low quality vetiver.

>>17715129
Grandpa scent. No.

>>17715285
EN is the same vetiver/iso e super accord as timbuktu stripped down to nothing but. something tells me you can’t identify either.

>>17715288

Exactly, that's why is great.

>>17715055

>iso-e super accord
Huh.
At any rate, Timbuktu is a lot smokier, a tad sweeter, much less sour, there's a mango accord in the juice, and it has significantly worse performance.
You might argue EN is a stripped down Sycamore, but if you start saying it's a stripped down Timbuktu you might as well say it's a stripped down TdH, a stripped down Grey Vetiver and a stripped down CK Eternity.

>>17715230
Zino is a fougere, what does it have to do with resinous frags?

>>17715364
the big difference between timbuktu/EN/grey vetiver/TdH and sycomore/eternity is that the latter two aren’t based on the essential iso e super /vetiver accord that made timbuktu such a big deal. all of the fragrances in the first category that came after timbuktu are just variations on the theme that it invented. it’s the same as how every aquatic is permanently indebted to cool water’s dihydromyrcenol and calone, and much like cool water, timbuktu got it right the first time. i completely agree with the idea that TdH and GV are totally unnecessary in its presence, price notwithstanding. sycomore gets to stay on merit of achieving something on par through a very different route.
also, i don’t know what you’ve been smelling, but timbuktu’s performance was shockingly strong last time i smelled it a month or two ago. i could smell it from the smelling strip i put in my coat pocket, and it stayed there for literal days. encre noire isn’t even close to comparable in that regard.

Apply yourself anon, Sycomore smells similar to EN contrarily to Timbuktu, and it's comically reductive to say TdH is like Timbuktu but worse, they have a similar vetiver base but it's a lot more prominent in TdH and everything else is completely different.

Eros EDP for dropping panties,
TdH Parfum for dropping boxers.
Simple as.

Also anyone tried layering TdH Parfum with Molecule 1 or Molecule 2 or even Molecule 1 + Mandarin?

>>17715429
you focus too much on surface level aesthetics and not the components that make up the accords that make up the perfumes you smell. sycomore is of course related to timbuktu and EN in that all 3 are intensely woody vetiver accords, but only timbuktu and EN rely heavily on iso e super. sycomore achieves an aesthetic similar to EN at a far higher level(and price) through an entirely different set of notes and aromachemicals, but that’s completely besides my point.
to rephrase your obvious lack of understanding of my earlier post, TdH/EN/GV are all based on the same fundamental core components that timbuktu first invented, and they ultimately surround it with a far inferior execution of top and heart notes. i see no reason to own either of the 3 aforementioned unless one is too vapid to see past shallow aesthetics.

I don't know what to tell you if you can't appreciate the very clear differences between EN, TdH and Timbuktu beyond "they have a different aesthetic".

>>17715440
What are your thoughts on Guerlain vetiver and Guerlain vetiver extreme? I don’t care what they other anon says, you know your shit and he’s a retard.

>>17715473
there’s nothing to appreciate with EN, and little more with TdH. in the case of EN, it’s simply lazy, incomplete perfumery, whereas for TdH it’s just ellena being ellena. timbuktu suffers from neither, and has a whole other world to offer beyond just subsisting on a base of iso e super and vetiver with sparse top notes. your complaints would be valid if the same were true for EN and TdH, but it simply isn’t.
>>17715476
vetiver is an immortal classic. i have not smelled vetiver extreme.

It's amazing to see how neatly the charts have developed ever since their humble beginnings over a decade ago. And it's a good thing 1 Million was thrown out.

>>17715515
this one is so bad it almost makes me want to stop calling the current charts garbage. almost.

>>17715160
does a good and cheap incense fragrance even exist?
the ones you mentioned are all over $180 for 100ml

>>17715519
It was a different time. Feel free to make your own guide with your refined taste. If it's good, I'm sure somebody will post it again.

>>17715524
quite frankly, calling things garbage is more entertaining than having to fight with retards in this thread over basic shit like the definition of a fougere or what iso e super smells like.

Does anyone else have an unhealthy obsession with TdH? legit is so perfect, the iso e super + dirty orange is a timeless combination. It’s also very masculine, yet balanced which is super rare with modern fragrances, many of them are way too unisex for me and come off like an air freshener. Also, most people my age don’t wear it because they’re unaware of it altogether. Truly my favorite frag of all time and I have a ton of niche stuff which says a lot. I will never not own a bottle of this stuff, magnificent frag through and through.

>>17715527
Regardless, I appreciate the work some anons have put in.

>>17715537
is googling pngs and pasting them in gimp/photoshop really that much of work though?

Very based chart, anon.

>>17715540
If they are structured and with a theme, or come with additional context, then yes? That's how many infographics are made.

How does the current version compare to the original? Is it still worth it? How's the performance?

>>17715434
Trump's own cologne "Empire" is an incredible, cheap hidden gem. Even though it was last manufactured in 2015 they still exist and keep well.

>>17715557
While I personally don't really like it, I can tell you that it lasts a whole 15 minutes.

>>17715577
Also in 2022, if I remember correctly. I think the anon who made it abandoned the thread halfway through due to the constant shitflinging.

>>17715530
that is just a regular obsession, nothing unhealthy about it - you could have chosen way worse signature frags for yourself, anon
>SOTD: TdH EDT

>>17715537
Any green frag enjoyers need to smell Trump Empire. >>17715587

>>17715587
It's a clone of Paco Rabanne Pour Homme.
Based Trump got some impressive taste.

>>17715618
I'll have to keep that one on my list in case I ever can't find Empire again. Thanks anon.

What's a scent that goes with a synthwave aesthetic?

>>17715530
Terre D'Hermes makes me angry, when I was trying to come up with a fragrance myself everytime I tried to make a masculine gentleman's it kept looking like TdH

>>17715530
wouldn't say so, but I do find new appreciation for it every now and then, there is something intriguing about it
I'm glad there is a designer bestseller that isn't just an aquatic / blue fragrance / sweet vanilla bomb

>>17715636
>it’s your grandpa who gave birth to you
Man ESL's are fucking weird

>>17715660
What was your thought process? If citrus with pepper and vetiver makes TdH, adding ambroxan should turn it into Sauvage, adding neroli should turn it into Dunhill Icon, adding cardamom should turn it Declaration.

>>17715636
based esl tardo

>>17715636
Based. Guerlain vetiver is the best frag all time

>>17715757
To make it simple I was trying to make a scent that a Rhett Butler esque person would wear. When doing the base and the top notes I realized that Terre d'Hermes was truly a masterpiece and what I was trying to make was just reinventing the wheel

What's the most safe, legal, and compliant fragrance for someone who is engaged with their higher self?

I got Armaf club de nuit because it's a clone of Creed Aventus and jesus christ does it smell strong. I usually spray twice on my wrist, then rub it on my other wist, and then rub behind my ears. But with this, I feel like even one spray is too much. I can still smell it on me after an 8 hour work day. My mom could smell it from like 6 feet away.
How do you tell when a cologne is just too intense? I only have experience with one other cologne which was much more subdued. what do I do?

>>17715833
>im tired of smelling this smelling water on me
Too intense spray less next time
>I wish I could smell this smelly water more on me
Not intense enough Spray more next time

>>17715557
Nice dubs.
TD is more than ok, from spring to autumn. It never was a projection monster, but it's far better than cheapies hyped here, like EN.
Clean and safe office scent. Classy and somewhat unique. Buy and test, no way The Dreamer disappoint you. It smells nice.

>>17716219
They absolutely are. They provide a good start, with a good mix of designers you can find at stores, semi-niche fragrances you can find in dedicated shops, and faux-niche as well as real niche stuff that might be hard to come by. They contain fragrances many people on these threads have sampled and since added to their collections. They do no harm.
Of course, there are better books out there, but a simple chart or two with easily digestible information is a great addition to these threads. And no, Reddit does not have information or guides anywhere near this useful. They wish they had but they are ADHD riddled autists addicted to the infinite scroll instead of being properly hyperfocused autists. When they press F5, they get sent back to the top of the feed, so they never do.

>>17716266
they do harm by perpetuating the sort of garbage that this thread is seemingly infatuated with.

>>17716268
For example?

>>17716219
To be fair I came here for the first time when the flowchart was doing rounds on red scare pod sub after someone had reposted there and stayed here since then. This is the kind of gay community I can get behind

turin actually likes encre noire. i don’t. he also likes all sorts of other weird shit like patchouli 24 and secretions magnifique that i would never endorse, but his thought process behind them is at least infinitely more worked out than the retards in this thread obsessing over surface aesthetics.

>>17716285
You got me there because I also hate Encre Noire, but I hate anything with vetiveryl acetate in it.

>>17716286
Gonna spray my wrists and rub it behind my ears now. But all the other advice is great, although the layout sucks and the wording is a bit edgy.

>>17716285
Exactly, you are the turinfag kek

>>17716304
encre noire isn’t bad because it’s a vetiver, encre noire is bad because it says nothing meaningful about fragrance. it took the base notes of an existing fragrance (timbuktu), stripped everything away, added some fleeting top notes, and sold it for pennies because iso e super is also dirt cheap. the fact that people actually thought this was somehow contestable is testament to how little this thread actually cares about fragrance beyond the shallowest of aesthetic descriptors.
>>17716306
sure, if that’s what you think.

>>17716281
Typical feminine collection that tries to be "sophisticated and special" with Jo Malone and Diptyque, she only needs Byredo to complete the holy trinity.

>>17716310
>encre noire is bad because it says nothing meaningful about fragrance

lmaooo you are just a turin's npc, go outside fag.

>>17716312
don’t forget le labo.
>>17716313
if holding fragrance to the standards of an artform makes me a turin drone, then sure. let’s just ignore the fact that i don’t even agree with turin on the specific fragrance we’re talking about in the first place.

>>17716286
Delete this. Chartsfag will flip out.

>>17716313
He’s not wrong. Encre noir smells gay and basic. If you’re a poor fag it’s not bad though.

I'm from France, basically there is no "expensive" fragrances here. That's an american thing where you guys pay 80€ for a YSL perfume.

Hit the nail on the head.
This is basically a rotation of every big city middle-class girl I've slept with who thinks that liking Matisse and listening to Beach House makes her special and different from other girls. As others pointed out, it is only missing a bottle of Le Labo and Byredo to complete the holy trinity together with Diptyque.

I have old unopened 100Ml nuit de lhomme and CH CH. They're from like 2009. Do I just wear these or are they worth anything?

>>17716440
the answer to these sorts of questions is always “if you have to ask…”

>>17716440
you might be able to scalp someone with the original formulation of La Nuit. IDK what the prices are, but there is a lot of reformulation panic surrounding that fragrance, so I'm sure you could resell it to some hypebeast fragbro for a good deal more than it was originally worth
>>17716442
what's up with the smug retard answers in this thread lately?

>>17716382
Based. And don't forget to spray Neroli Intense until you're properly soaked by it. I will continue to repost those charts because, as I've already said, any well sorted information in easily digestible format is a worthwhile addition to an anonymous imageboard.

Kek. You guys sound based.
I started with this hobbie two years ago and the first thing I bought was Eau des Baux, just after that Le Labo and Diptyque discovery sets and most of the frags ended up being a disappiontment.
Today I own and use just three cheap bottles: Polo OG (cold days/outdoors), The Dreamer (most of the days) and Luna Rossa (hot weather) and almost 300 vials and decants to wear/smell at home.
Could any of you please suggest me some fragrances to test?

Based on your "taste": Tabac edc, Caron puh, Polo Cologne Intense, maybe Guerlain Vetiver, Zino and 1881

>>17716692
It is, but it's fun too. I like Eau Minthé btw.
>>17716584
You probably don’t have much experience with perfumes, so try Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche, Dior Homme Sport or Loewe Solo Atlas if you want something easy, has zero character but smell great. They don’t smell like the "classic" summer perfume.
If you want character just buy Megamare and apply 5 sprays on your cock.

>>17716705
This is how perfumery works, tests a thousand brands and you realize that the wheel was invented long ago, then you return to Polo or the classic fougeres.

Months ago I sold lots of almost full bottles, some of them very expensive. I chose to keep it simple and wear my perfumes with some coherence, almost as signature scents.

Boring bottles, boring scents, and dont they have that retarded gimmick where they decant into the bottles at the store lol for that price you could get so much better stuff. Parfum de Marly is another brand that people are out of their minds to pay so much for. Diptyque has nice bottles at least and their scents match the presentation of the company.

>>17717126
le labo and diptyque appeal to people whose idea of hip and cool got stuck in about 2010 or so, but i have never and will never understand who the fuck actually likes marly. it’s like creed without all the brand heritage bullshit, which is to say that it’s basically just garbage without any window dressing.
