reminder that frags are a waste of money if women don’t like them
buying frags that men like is fucking gay

>>17713792
Real thread

My order from Tauer's website has arrived

Is there a fragrance that smells like a freshly opened booster for Magic the Gathering

>>17716825
Nice fake bottle you go there

>>17716814
reminder that if you care about what women want you’re either underage or just a little bitch

>>17716810
garbage as always
>>17716814
women’s opinions don’t matter.

>>17716825
is this Golestan? what other goodies did you get?

>>17716809
Anywhere I can buy knocked-off aventus? The retail price is way too high just to smell nice.

>>17716852
lol, lmao, rofl even

>>17716855
so... no?

Stop bumping this faggot's thread. Faggots.

>>17716858
kek, jej, lel even

>>17716824
>one schizo containment thread
>one normal fragrance general for mentally sound posters
actually a pretty good solution. call the other one something else next time though. /jeremy/ or something. you guys can talk about charts and cuck porn over there all you want

>>17716865
>t. gay porn enthusiast

>early nsfw gay chart spammer thread
>last hadn't even hit 300

Get cancer.

>>17716825
got any free stuff?

>>17716852
Just buy L'Aventure Intense. Best clone so far.

>>17716852
Mont Blanc Explorer isn’t an exact 1:1, but it’s 85-90% similar to aventus and it’s the only clone that isn’t shit tier arab quality. Really nice for what you’re paying if you want an aventus style frag

It's actually very nice. Sexy even.

>>17716809
>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.
Thoughts?
Also: post your favourite fougere. Mine is Azzaro pour Homme because it was my father's cologne and I miss him so much.

>>17716961
Fougeres are my favorites:
1. Drakkar Noir/Bon Monsieur
2. Rive Gauche
3. Paco Rabanne Pour Homme
4. Duc de Vervins L'Extreme

What's your favorite Frederic Male fragrance /fa/?

>>17717007
le parfum de therese will always be the best thing the line has ever done, and it wasn’t even made for it.

>>17716837
>>17716851
>>17716889
Yep, golestan, I got a free small sample set with a cute metallic case

>>17717034
About the samples, l'oudh is terrible on my nose, smells like a dirty swamp. Incense extreme is interesting for what it is, a green and fresh almost medicinal incense fragrance. And Lair du desert, we all know that's a good one.

Interesting that they put l'Oudh there as a sample, because is way too daring to give as a free sample to new customers

Damn I wanna get a Tauer now.

>>17716961
I said that in other thread and I reiterate it.
I’m using Azzaro Pour Homme right now. Probably top 3 fougeres ever, and trust me, I have tried a lot of designer/niche fougeres.

>>17717042
>>17717057
Fuck me sideways I want one too.

can someone explain why popular frags are getting fruitier in every sense of the word

>>17717122
nothing more than a reflection of the times.

>>17717042
>>17717034
I can confirm that L'Oudh is horrible. Decayed moldy wooden log with mushrooms growing on it at insane strength. Fucking chemical weapon and the only stuff that I've smelt that was more vile than Bogue MEM.

>>17717128
Oh and according to Tauer it contains some real oudh.

>>17717116
I've been wanting one for a while but now that anon got his I want one more. It's just that I already want three other fragrances that I don't necessarily need, aside from maybe only one of them. And also I like two Tauers. 02 and 05. Like I don't want to be a butthurt no fragrance owning alcoholic, but at the same time I don't want to be one of those balding redditors with 200 bottles they never use.

>>17717116
currently i have three full bottles (LDDM, LADAS, Pthaloblue) and i am planning to get two more in the not too distant future (ACDD, Sundowner)

>>17717128
> only stuff that I've smelt that was more vile than Bogue MEM
MEM is gorgeous lol

>>17717128
Name five perfumes you like this instant.

tell me which tauers to lend my nose to when i visit jovoy in paris next month, excluding the obvious 02 and ACDD

>>17717165
>LADAS
>Sundowner
>Lonestar Memories
>Golestan
>Tauerville Vanilla Flash and Rose Flash

>>17717150
>LDDM mediocre
>Phtaloblue musty, piercing salty, just bad aquatic
>L'Air des Alpes Suisses sour, citrusy fresh fragrance
Never touch any more. But Tauer is mediocre in my book.

>>17717162
NTA but Bogue mem turned into some vile sour shit on my skin. I dont know if that's how its supposed to smell or if some musk turned bad with my chemistry.

>>17717165
>>17717169
also
>Pthaloblue
which is an odd frag, but it finally clicked for me during a visit to the beach

>>17717171
>LDDM mediocre
Your opinion can be discarded at this point already

>>17716825
Why do no companies ever put adequate packing materials in the box lol

>>17717171
too bad you don't like them
please post your top 5 so i can see where you are coming from

>>17717175
>LDDM
>sweet massage oil
>mass pleasing, therefore shilled by many
Try harder

>>17716960
will never test any of these, azzaro, or paco rabanne because ill never buy something with a gaudy bottle

>>17717177
>>17717001

>>17717179
if azzaro’s bottle is gaudy to you i really want to see what your idea of good bottle design is.

>>17717169
>>17717174
man between those and ACDD/02 that’s 9 fucking fragrances from a single brand. i’m gonna go super noseblind to everything so fast if i end up clocking a rate of 9 fragrances per brand in a store with pretty much every niche brand worth a shit.

>>17716843
kys fag

Does tauer do fougeres at all or is it all ambery stuff?

>>17717184
i love women, i just don’t take their opinions seriously. any man who loves women should do the same, for the good of their women.

>>17717181
I mean the gaudy bottles from them not APH or anything. The one that looks like a cylinder or a vibrator

>>17717189
i forgot azzaro had fragrances that weren’t APH to begin with. christ they’re irrelevant.

>>17717187
>i love women
Being into fembois isn't gay. However, the more i lift heavy weight and take zinc pills i lust over really feminine fembois.
The dick makes it better, dominating another dude.

>>17717191
you’re a faggot. i don’t care about anything you have to say, period, and unlike with women, it’s out of spite.

>>17717182
go from top to bottom then

>>17717185
nope, LADAS comes relatively close but that's it

>>17717180
>LDDM mediocre
it is anything but

>>17717193
It's not gay

>>17717201
yeah, you literally want to fuck trannies lol. you’re a fag.

>>17717111
I asked you in the other thread:
How long have you been in this rabbit hole? Would you mind to share some of your favs? Your top 3 fougeres and some classics and moderns would be great. Genuinely interested.
Thanks in advance!

>>17717202
A true faggot wouldn't get turned on by this

>>17717210
didn’t ask, queer.

>>17717215
Wrong answer. We repeat it together:
Licking feminine features = straight
Licking masculine features = gay

>>17717231
yeah nah, you’re a fag.

>>17717249
How is this gay?

>>17717209
Oh, I didn’t see it, sorry. I am from Spain, here it is normal to always have perfumes at home, my hobby comes for my father and my grandfather, but for niche perfumery began 10 years ago when I worked in a store, It was a temporary job because I was studying at the time.
Top 3 classics fougeres for me: Azzaro Pour Homme, Givenchy Gentleman (1974), Tsar Van Cleef & Arpels.
For nostalgic reasons I will also say Puig Agua Brava (a chypre, actually) Loewe Pour Homme, and Puig Brummel.

Some cool things you could try without any order: Acqua Di Parma Essenza and Leather, Loewe 7 Anonimo, Houbigant Fougere Royale and Bois Mystique, Xerjoff Naxos and Alexandria II, Kemi Hayat, Olympic Orchids Night Flyer, Guerlain Habit Rouge, Dior Dune, Chanel Antaeus, Nasomatto Black Afgano and Pardon, Orto Parisi Terroni, Caron Yagatan, Tauer L’air du Desert Marocain and Lonestar Memories, YSL Opium pour Homme, Dior Fahrenheit Parfum, Gentleman Givenchy Intense, Kenzo Homme Eau de Parfum.

Maybe some of them you already know, but are the ones that have come to my mind

>>17717265
not interested in your gay porn sorry.

>>17717265
You can tell the breasts are unnatural, the man skin goes straight into the boob like how a fat guys would

>>17717283
His tits are natural, probably puffy due to HRT
>>17717280
How is this gay?

>>17717287
i’m not looking at your gay porn collection dude, i’m not a faggot like you.

>>17717290
You're literally gay or have low testo levels if you don't like this

Alright, we're all rested up after the Lord's Day, and now it's time to review more IA scents. Yesterday I wore The Soft Lawn, and I have to admit it's even better than my initial impression led me to believe. The vetiver and oakmoss give it a firm base which the flowers and grapefruit can bounce off for a fun, sporty vibe. Not nearly as serious or intense as A City On Fire, so you can wear it to the office or at the grocery store without issue. Also, IA usually lists what I consider a joke ingredient: warm sand, first kiss, etc. Sometimes you can smell it, sometimes it's just marketing fluff. This one lists "fresh tennis ball" and I swear to god they nailed it, it took me back to my high school tennis team days. Performance was also good, three sprays got me about six hours without issue. I thought this would be second to ACOF, but honestly after some thinking it's the best IA frag I've smelled so far. Today I'm wearing Cape Heartache, I'll let y'all know what I think after I give it some more time to sit on me.

>>17717270
ever got into animal tinctures?

>>17717293
i don’t like gay porn because i’m not a fuckin homo like you. get that in your thick skull.

>>17717306
How is this gay when he literally looks like a girl?

>>17716865
>and cuck porn
Sorry but it's simply the best source of amateur milf content

>>17717315
not clicking on your fucking tranny porn videos bro. fuck off to >>>/lgbt/

>filtered the word "gay" because of some spam some time ago
>this is what the thread looks like now
jesus christ, go talk about your sexuality on /lgbt/ or /gif/ already. what is it with this thread and all these bizarre offtopic schizo discussions?

>>17717334
i don’t know, ask the guy dumping his tranny porn collection in some vain attempt to prove his heterosexuality.

>>17717270
>Loewe 7 Anonimo
how much incense is in there?

Why is this one guy trying to desperately derail these threads with his shitposting?
Anyways, post your SOTDs. I went to a drone concert organized by a friend of mine in all black, so naturally wore Fathom V.
What’s your SOTDs anon?

>>17717306
stop getting baited

>>17717346
More than in the original 7, but it is a smoked and dark incense. The current formulation is a little less "niche" but still great, the first version was brutal.
>>17717303
I once went to a perfume workshop and they let us try animal tinctures (civet, musk, ambergris, castoreum...) but the closest thing I’ve try as a fragrance are Areej Le Doré's perfumes. I’m not really interested in tinctures honestly

>>17717370
Obviously New York Intense.

>>17717370
That's a great bottle design. Is the cap wooden?

>>17717403
no it's carbon fibre plated with 24 carat gold but they put a wooden vinyl over it

Purchases of the month, all of them are fragrances I love that I tested before thoroughly

Also got some decants of D&G italian love ( meh) , profondo (meh) , Malibu party in the bay (pretty good) , ambre tabac ( very good but not full bottle worthy) and virgin island water (smells great for the 20 minutes that it lasts)

The Carner sample set is great, Tardes is a beautiful fragrance and probably my next purchase

>Golestan, Acqua di Sale

I don't believe you. You're just addicted. Tell us what were the last 5 fragrance bottles you finished?

>>17716809
why is tyhere two 944 frag generals

>>17717517
None, my interest in fragrances started last October. And what I don't use I sell it. I just wanted to treat myself and bought some stuff I've been wanting to have for a while.

In any case, I agree that this could quickly turn into an addiction if it didn't happen already.

>>17716899
Thanks anon. Gonna give it a try.

Whats your guys thoughts on the original curve in 2023? Thinking of picking up a bottle theyre so cheap

>>17717475
Based anon. Neroli Nasimba I wish more people get to try it because it's an amazing summer leathery scent.

And white coco is to coconut what aventus is to pineapple, but actually performing well

What do you guys think of clone brands like Dossier and Oakcha?

>>17717370
Eau Sauvage. I know the conventional wisdom is that it's weak as all fuck, but I swear to Jesus my skin keeps it going for 8 hours.
On that note, how distinct is Cerutti 1881 from Eau Sauvage? It's cheap enough I'd be fine blind buying it if it offers something different.

>>17717370 Funny enough, after all the shit talking on it, my SOTD was Taur's L'Oudh. I got a sample of it when I got ACDD. I thought the dry down was somewhat similar to Black Afgano (which I've also). I don't know if I need a full bottle of it, but I'm definitely going to enjoy the sample.

my bois imperial and new york intense finally came in today. i will be writing my review soon

>>17716809
Why are all the OP posts for this general gay porn/thirst pics censored by a perfume bottle?
Is it a /frag/ meme?

>>17717798
it’s a gay guy obsessed with trannies.

>>17717798
it’s fraggot tradition

>>17717591
it's pretty distinct. it's got rose and prominent cassia leaf. besides being in the same fresh chypre genre it's easy to differentiae from ES

>>17717897
eau sauvage is not a fucking chypre.

>>17717007
le male

How often does luckyscent run their 15% off?

How many Zoologists have you smelt? What's your fave/something that was interesting?

>>17717962
T-Rex is the obvious choice for testing
i've smelt a few others (Elephant, Cow, Squid, Snowy Owl, etc.), they are interesting but a bit too expensive for my taste

>>17717962
t-rex. the new bat is prins most boring work

>>17717395
thanks

200 ml for 67 eur good deal?

>>17717316
This. Incels and weak husbands are made for degradation.

>>17717987
it's a steal if you like that fragrance

>>17717731
Very nice. Remember that NYI is a bit more complex and should be experienced in full. It goes through more phases than your "usual" fragrance.

>>17717798
it’s tongue-in-cheek

>>17717370
I just like it.

>>17718003
more like tongue in butthole

>>17718072
>I think vanilla has no place in a classical masterpiece like this.
Fougere Royale - 1882
Mouchoir de Monsieur - 1904
Knize Ten - ~1920s
Pour Un Homme de Caron - 1934
Dana Canoe - 1936
Tabac - 1959
Brut - 1964
Habit Rouge - 1965
Equipage - 1970

Just a few male classics with vanilla. Why do fagrantica noselets write such bullshit? It would cost them nothing to not be stupid on the internet.

>>17718101
Just to reiterate:
Fougere Royale gave rise to fougeres, it was the very first, and had vanilla in it. That fagrantica review is so ignorant that guy should straight up be banned from reviewing.

>>17718052
>>17718054
This is literally a spambot script.

>>17718011
Yes, Eau Sauvage on steroids. If you are looking for something fresh and citric that lasts a long time is the right fragrance. with 30ml you have enough.

>>17718048
>>17717997
I appreciate NYI for what it is, but the whole SMELL ME FOR I AM A MAAAAAAN RRAWWR thing just feels like a throwback and not in a way that works for me

>>17718109
for me it's a perfect fit for all formal occasions (like an important meeting, exhibitions, classical or jazz concerts, etc.)
yeah, it's a masculine frag but it definitely has a place in 2023 as well (arguably something like this is now needed more than ever)

>>17718126
I wouldn't wear it to an important meeting unless the meeting was a job interview as a male gigolo for mature women

If I'm going to wear any frag to an important meeting (and odds are that I won't), I'd reach for adp colonia or 4711, maybe tom ford grey vetiver. Wearing a heavy fougere to an interview is something only an autistic fraghead would do

>>17717798
>>17717892
It's just one schizo trying to cause shitshow here. He's basically samefagging and trolling only for god knows what reason. You can take a look how many posts were deleted in this and the last thread after he had been banned (and gonna come back after changing the IP soon probably).

>>17718048
>SOTD: New York Intense
Same here. 10 sprays. I’ve now green and lossy it gets on me during hot summers.

>>17718132
I work as an investment banker at a top bank and wear it to all important meetings including sealing big deals. This fragrance exudes pure confidence and class while having a masculine edge mogging all clean freshies of corpodrones you meet at work. But it’s definitely not a fragrance for everyone it’s too easy for it to wear you instead of you wearing NYI. If you’re below 30 I’d proceed with caution as you should develop some personality, travel and establish yourself as a successful man first. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Just revisit it in a couple years time.

>>17718142
>I love how green and mossy it gets *
Sorry for autocorrect

>>17718146
It's an old larp but you posted a cool vintage ad so I'll let it go this time

>>17718146
cringe

SOTD TF Lavender Palm. It's really nice on a hot day, but I wish it wasn't discontinued.

>>17718142
The green, mossy opening is great, the heavy vanilla base is disgusting.

Anyone knows any sites in Europe (Spain specifically preferred) where I can buy decants of designer fragrances?

it's so amazing that someone in this thread is so autistic that they would go on a personal crusade against the vanilla in nyi.

>>17718190
Same story with Invasion Barbare. Nice fougere ruined with a tad too sweet base.
Paco Rabanne Pour Homme is the golden standard for this kind of scent. The honey is balanced.

>>17718136
the banned guy was a new fav seething about the “Reddit charts”

>>17718196
doesn't mean it's worth going on a personal crusade against it

>>17718189
Ecuacionnatural is in Spain and is the best store in the OP for yuropoors, although it might not have "designer" fragrances. Other than that you should have a local normalfag thing in your mall like notino.

>>17718198
There are multiple people shitting on your shit charts by the way. I'm one of them. I just don't feel the need to spam every thread about it, but just so you know you spamming them all the time is annoying and unnecessary. That's what the OP is for. Put them all in an imgur album or something. There's no need to literally spambot 50 charts each thread.

>>17718205
https://www.lesecretdumarais.com has a good selection of niche and masstige but yeah, notino is your best bet for designer frags

>>17718189
I think that does not exist in Europe, at least not in Spain, the closest thing is Notino's discovery sets,
they have a few of them
https://www.notino.es/beauty/discovery-box-notino-man-you-smell-so-nice-set-para-hombre/

>>17718207
NTA but it's usually just two charts under the OP, perfectly fine. It's me who occasionally reposts the other charts. I didn't make them and I didn't make the thread, though.
Complaints always pop up every few thread, but they never result in any action like improved/updated/changed charts, so it's basically just background noise.

>>17718225
wow, i'm already somewhere between L5 and L6
>the ride never ends

>>17718225
Jeremy is definitely a personification of 4chan fragrance.

>>17718207
Perhaps reddit will be more up to your speed newfag

that's indeed weird. The Kouros that I sampled at the store was a blast of bold musky scents with a tad of floral elements. The one that I bought is rather floral from the start, as one anon described not too long ago.
How come? Is the sample bottle possibly in the store for such a long time that the floral parts have decomposed already?

>>17718267
yes

>>17718225
Spambotting is never fine. I could make my own chart but it will cause immense seethe as seen in the following quoted post.

>>17718243
Been here since 2007, but feel free to continue seething.

>>17718214
>https://www.lesecretdumarais.com

I don't see this in the OP. Gay faggot OP, please update the OP for the next thread, since I know you'll make it early.

>>17718290
So could I. But I won't. And neither will you.

>>17718298
I already said I wont.

>>17718290
>Been here since 2007
then why have you started complaining about the charts a month ago? they've been here for years
not to mention that this is such a non-issue. there are tens of absolutely horrid off-topic posts every thread, are two images with some resources for newfags really worth complaining about? I don't get it

>>17718300
I already knew you wouldn't even though you didn't say it.

>>17718301
NTA but the seething anon might actually be a different one (who's new as fuck and somehow associates the charts with reddit).

>>17718290
>Been here since 2007, but feel free to continue seething.
Doubt X. Charts have been reposted this way since the inception of this thread. You're spamming these threads with your bitching much more than the OP with these charts. Unironically go back to r/fragrance

>>17718205
>>17718214
Yeah thanks I know about Ecuacion and secret du Marais, but I wanna try some specific designer stuff with small 5ml decants. Stuff like Prada lhomme l'eau.

Testing in the store and testing with a decant is really different.

>>17718283
lol, so I'll be able to enjoy it in 5 years then

We've got a fan favorite today, Cape Heartache. I can see where people say the strawberry is too intense, I found it rather syrupy with a kind of sickening sweetness that I don't really like very much. Thankfully for me, it seems to fade out pretty quick and you're left with a really nice full-bodied pine scent that doesn't remind me of cleaner or air freshener. Honestly, it smells just like Christmas. Sweets in the oven, pine tree in the living room, cozy and comfy under a blanket. I think this fragrance is gonna slot nicely into third place from an objective standpoint behind Soft Lawn and City On Fire, at least for now, but this definitely isn't something I'd wear in July because the winter connotations are way too strong.

>>17718267
I remember you. Was the one you tried in the store a silver shouldered bottle like this? The current bottle has white shoulders.

I hate to be a reformulation queen but I think it may be different juice. I still enjoy it, but it isn't the animalic monster I smelled in the store either.

>>17718317
You could try your luck on parfumo, although the people there might not always be interested in sending samples to Spain. There are no offers for samples of L'Homme L'Eau at the moment, though.

Asking again because nobody suggested anything sensible last thread, I need to add €26,50 to a notino order, what do I go for?
I'm in my late 20s, I work in a big city, dress more formally than the average person, I like dry resinous, coniferous and balsamic frags like the CDG Incense series, LAVS by Filippo Sorcinelli and Aesthete by Le Galion, and I'm not looking for EN a l'Extreme or Neroli intense.

>>17718330
Only the cap has silver parts, both my own and the sample

>>17718330
I had the same experience with a decant from ebay and the bottle I bought later.
The stuff from the bottle is still fine and I love it, but the decant was "dirtier".

Was at a baseball game yesterday evening in the height of mosquito season and gf was complimenting my new scent. I was only wearing pic related. After confirming that she was being serious I am left with only 3 possibilities:
>She is insane
>Women will react positively to any noticeable scent on men as long as it isn't BO
>DEET is the most attractive fragrance to females and we should all start wearing bug spray regularly

>>17718338
See the charts. Oud Malaki might be a good choice for you

>>17718301
No I haven't. Me mentioning it every once in a while is the real non issue. You don't have to turn this into a 50 post autistic back and forth chain for no reason at all.

Don't care, you want stuff for 26,50€, you get stuff for 26,50€.

>>17718352
I can read just fine. You simply didn't say it, at best you implied it.

>>17718348
I once got a compliment on picrel after waterproofing my nubuck leather shoes with it that morning. You really can just wear whatever as long as they like you and it smells of something other than BO.

Stop spamming these threads. We really don't want to read through 50 posts of bitching about some actually useful resources of someone who doesn't contribute anything but spam to these threads. Your desperate attempts at derailing the thread are getting really tiresome

>>17718340
>>17718343

There may be some hope yet...

after rubbing some dried rosemary and oregano from my spice batch I thought that it smells good and I submersed it in some vodka to extract the smell. I'll leave it like this for one or two months, as it usually is good enough, at least if you want to flavour the alcohol. So far I only did this for the purpose of drinking it later, but I thought I could give it a shot as a fragrance, so I just did it.
Do I need a higher concentration of alcohol so that it evaporates easier? Or could I use it as an aftershave?

>>17718358
Context is important. Elementary level reading comprehension skills.

>>17718371
How ironic.

>>17718348
>>17718366
(they add fragrance to all of these products so it's basically the same and it's why a lot of cologne smells like bug spray or sunscreen)

>>17718440
And yet another shitpost. Get a life. I have never seen anyone getting so worked up about two JPGs. At least tell us what are your five favourite fragrances

>>17718453
Why do you insist on spamming at me? I was asked a question and I provided an answer. It was over there. What do you get from literally spamming? You aren't saying anything at all.

Are you guys ready for the gothrock fragrance chart?

>>17718440
Bro, you didn't say it. Simple as. You merely dodged the request out of fear (implied) to be put down, as your self-worth is deduced from your acceptance in this group (implied). Want me to imply further things or do you see now why implying things based on context has nothing to do with elementary level reading comprehension skills?

Can you stop replying to me with projections and literal off topic spam? Not sure what your goal here is.

>>17718474
is it an excel list with encre noire as the reference?

I'm too high IQ to take this L, by the way.

>>17718474
yes desu senpai

>>17718496
probably yes but i prefer that to all the bitching and spamming

>>17718496
No. Do you want it to be an excel?

>>17718498
Post high IQ fragrance collection.

>>17718509
wow, that's a surprise
post it

>>17718513
This is the confirmed high IQ posters collection.

>>17718523
I am the high IQ poster and this is not my collection.

>>17718517
Haven't made it yet.

>>17718527
gl;hf then, please don't fuck it up and it might get reposted for many years to come (even if the usual schizos cope, seethe and dilate about it)

>>17718568
It wont get reposted because a lot of people itt don't have taste and I'll post it once and forget about it. I also haven't tried a bunch of fragrances that I think I want to put in there.

>>17718350
>see the charts
There's nothing in there that costs the money I'd like to spend or slightly more and that's not completely detached from my taste.
>>17718354
>most of these
None of these, come on anon, Jacomo might have something in common with them but Grey Flannel simply does not.

how is the current version of fougere royal?
>>17718267
go back and check the batch on the bottom on checkfresh and compare the date to yours
>>17718354
jacomo de jacomo is nice but god damn it lasts like 15 minutes

>>17718527
The High IQ poster wouldn't be unprepared...

>>17718671
I am prepared. I'm just not making it yet.

>>17718338
I haven't tried Majd Al Sultan but it looks like it might fit the bill
I haven't been able to surmise how sweet it really is from reviews, though for that price you might as well buy a bottle and let us know

>>17718586
Also noone cares about "goth rock fragrances" except you, you fucking autist

>>17718681
Who?

>>17718675
Well you are as obstinate as the real high IQ poster I'll give you that.

>>17718767
I am the real high IQ poster.

>>17718586
No reason to backpeddle before you've even posted. Like damn, be a bit less self-conscious.

>>17718661
Yeah well you're looking for cheap stuff and I could have posted whatever, at least that's some of the selection that ain't shit. Everything else is just more expensive and at that point just buy a fragrance you actually want. Or get some nice soap like "Solidu Rock Your Body" (no clue if it's actually nice but soap probably isn't very gothrock) and some Al Haramain or Lattafa incense.

>>17718668
Current version of Fougere Royale is great. Can't say anything about the vintage, but my FR sample has quite good performance. It's a rather bright and floral fougere and smelling only FR, I probably wouldn't really know what to expect fougeres in general.

>>17718107
>Yes, Eau Sauvage on steroids
Just what I've always wanted

>>17718845
How am I backpeddling if I'm standing at the same spot I started?

>>17718873
You asked us if we were ready for the gothrock fragrance chart, didn't you? Due to my reading comprehension skills, I implied that you had an intention to post or make one. It was based on context. Now you're backpeddling on this.

>>17718889
I asked if you're ready. I'm testing the water. Are you ready for real?

I'm at night shift at work fuckers, entertain me with some discussion or sample reviews

>>17718993
Help me decide which Apoteker Tepe to buy. I like After the Flood, Brother Night, and Karasu but I only want one.

which one do I take with me to a music festival bros?

>>17719029
eros for fucking women in the ass

after sampling cool water I came to the conclusion that this mystery bottle is indeed a clone. It has the same pepper note, maybe a hint of vanilla. After 20 years in the shelf the pepper is a lot weaker than a new bottle of cool water, though.

>>17719312
I had a similar experience with Diesel Zero Plus I had like 10 years ago. Realized now it was a clone of Fahrenheit.

SOTD: Korrigan. 10 sprays. It’s 30c outside.

>>17719312
well it looks and sounds exactly like it so yea

>>17719041
Neroli intense, only 20 sprays
Alien (for women) by Mugler

>>17719041
Essential Parfums Bois Imperial and never look back.

is azzafo pour homme wearable in summer / early fall?
is the current bottle worth it?

>>17719360
i find the longevity to be incredibly bad

Yesterday I just bought a bottle of Dakar. You guys were right, the smell is similar to Drakkar Noir and better too.

>>17716852
Zara’s Vibrant Leather is very close, but not as versatile as Aventus.
Also Vibrant Leather has been watered down quite a bit by now, not sure wether the latest batch has been improved or even more watered.

>>17719387
since Dakar cannot be tested in stores here, how would you describe the difference? The notes between Drakkar Noir and Dakar are vastly different on review sites

>>17719399
Dakar is a clone of drakkar noir.

>>17719029
Eros probably, so somebody can actually smell you. Maybe Sauvage if you feel like it. Eternity is obviously the best, but lacks the performance for a music festival.

Since the false High IQ poster showed up these threads have gone to the dogs. And is it any wonder since so many have been fooled and seduced so easily?

>>17719407
into what

>>17719312
Now find a Dragon Parfums enthusiast who is willing to pay 500 bucks for a vintage bottle of Dragon D'Eau.

>>17719360
Yes. No. Maybe if you're really into anise, then yes.

>>17719376
This is correct. I've nuked myself with it since I have a 200 mL bottle of it and it still doesn't last. Neither on skin nor on clothes.

>>17719399
Notes for clones are irrelevant. Dakar is a good clone of Drakkar Noir with improved performance. In a sea of shitty clones, it's one of the very few acceptable ones.

>>17719413
Into believing his lies.

>>17719393
Aventus smells nothing like leather gtfo

>>17718680
Oh well, I went with this in the end, thanks for the suggestion, and here's to hoping it won't be shit.

>>17719360
My dad bought me this when I was 8. Never saw him again. I’m 42 now. Was it a message?

>>17719407
I am the only high IQ poster in here. I posted the gym pic with Encre Noire on.

>>17719399
Dakar is "lighter" than Drakkar Noir

>>17719451
He has stalked this thread far longer than that.

Who is the "high IQ poster" and why is he trying to make himself a thread personality by samefagging so hard?

>>17719512
Not sure why you're speaking to me in the third person but I didn't imply I started posting when I made that post. That's around when the high IQ thing began.

>>17719589
It's something the Aventus coomer is trying to force as a new thing.

>>17719589
he is the gothrock fag and he is trying to shift personas for some reason

>>17719611
>>17719612
You are mentally ill.

>>17719599
This is the real genesis of the high IQ poster:

>>/fa/thread/17420158#p17422028

>>17719613
What for having working pattern recognition?

>>17719618
Oh well that's not me then. My IQ is higher at 147 though. Pineapple is not a high IQ note, so Aventus cannot be considered such either way.. Creed is also medicore. Not that Aventus is trash by any means, but a fruity fragrance cannot be trve high IQ.

>>17719619
For being obsessed over anonymous 4chan posters to the point where you create different personals for them in your head.

>>17719623
wow, for one who's so good at abstract reasoning you're comically stupid when it comes to practical stuff

>>17719626
>when a retard tries to sound smart

Bought pic related for 75 bucks, how well did I do

>>17719637
You did well in terms of price, but you ended up buying the one shit fragrance they make. Have you tried it yet or are you waiting? Because if I tell you what it smells like I might ruin your expectations.

I fixed Aventus.

>>17719623
They simply are the personas they project through their posts. They are well known posters.

>>17719639
I love Beaufort , but I only buy full bottles of their wearable stuff. E. G, acrasia, fathom v and now this one. But this one I haven't tried it yet , but I'm pretty sure it will be interesting .

From what I read people say it smells like lemon cookies and salt

>>17719643
I never tried being a persona. Not my fault I'm charismatic and stand out. You shouldn't just generate random labels that you associate with random topics.

>>17719645
Yeah it smells like an expensive cookie. Gayass fragrance if you ask me. If you don't work at a bakery I'm not sure why you'd want to smell like that. Don't forget their best one T&m. It's definitely wearable. Cour de Noir as well. Iron Duke. All easily wearable.

>>17719651
And you aren't, you said so yourself.

>>17719651
>Yeah it smells like an expensive cookie. Gayass fragrance if you ask me. If you don't work at a bakery I'm not sure why you'd want to smell like that. Don't forget their best one T&m. It's definitely wearable. Cour de Noir as well. Iron Duke. All easily wearable

Terror and magnificence smells vile. It's interesting but I don't want to go smelling like that outside my home and in certain occasions. A full bottle can lasts me seven lives. I cannot wear that to the office and it's where I spend most of my life anyway.

>>17719651
those opinions are impressive, very nice
now let's see your collection

>>17719640
dangerously based

>>17719640
I didn't even know Patchouli was listed in aventus. Literally non existant when you smell it

Could there be a more based perfume reviewer?

>>17719753
Notes are made up, anyway. To this day, I'm searching for the rosemary, sage, incense and patchouli in Acqua di Gio Profumo, maybe even for the geranium.

>>17719780
Yeah, me. But I only review the stuff for myself and I have no clue who that is. What's his opinion of New York Intense?

This new wave of wannabe thread personalities (probably just one guy samefagging) must be the bleakest and most boring since the inception of this thread. At least in the past Kourosposter, hookeranon and others had some personality and were entertaining and often producing high quality shitposts. This one guy forcing himself by samefagging his boring contrarian opinions is just uninspiring and smells like straight out of some fragrance subreddit

>>17719789
He's a fan of the original.

SOTD: NYI. 8 sprays.

>>17719800
They even don't know anything about fragrances to start with. Just ask them to post a timestamped photo of their fragrances collection and watch how they suddenly disappear kek

>>17719718
LIGMA BALLS AHAAHAHAHAAHA SUUUUCKED IN CUNT

>>17719800
>He isn't in the fragrance general discord with the Aventus coomer, the gothrockfrag autist, the sisleyfag, jack the perfume nationalist, the original high IQ poster, the high IQ pretender, the rheinmetall German and the "insists on calling it perfume" guy

>>17719305
The only time I recognized a cologne was when I was in the airport in Abu Dhabi and some Indian midget was going through the metal detector in front of me and smelled like Eros.

>>17719800
it becomes even funnier when you know how few frags they've actually tested

SOTD

NEW YORK INTENSE

>>17719655
I'm aren't what?

>>17719669
Bad taste.

>>17719730
I'm waiting on two secret bottles and getting a new shelf to accommodate all the things I ahve and also designing a sample holder. When all that is done you'll see it.

>>17719780
Does he have an excel table? I think not.

>>17719800
>This new wave of wannabe thread personalities

The ones you created in your head and are forcing on the thread with your shitposting?

>>17719815
Some of those are one person.

>>17719880
Very much of a personality at all, if we are being honest.

>>17719917
Oh you had your usual ESL moment. Got it.

>>17719922
>And you aren't (a persona)

Like the saying "friendly fire isn't". Perfectly fine English, it's your reading comprehension that was having a "moment".

>>17719922
>>17719929
Would you two Nancy boys quit playing grab ass and fuck off already.

Fox In The Flowerbed is a pretty mediocre fragrance. I'm personally not big on floral scents, I find them too feminine, and this absolutely fits the bill in that regard. You got your jasmine, your lilac, some other floral notes I don't recognize offhand, and a strong soapy smell, it's basically a perfect match for fancy women's bar soap. If you like that kind of thing go for it I guess, but I do not.
This has more to do with the marketing than the scent, but they say "oh don't be misled, there's nothing animalic about this scent" on the website and frankly I kinda wish there was. It would at least be more interesting that way. Next on the list is Telegrama, which I haven't heard anyone mention before.

>>17719929
From now on you are forbidden from replying to me until you've finished high school.

>>17719940
What's the best ia you've smelled so far?

Mont Blanc Explorer is the only aventus dupe that isn’t complete shit, and that’s saying a lot considering it’s a Mont Blanc fragrance. It’s 36$ for a 3.4 tester, and I use it in my gym bag or for work 1-2 days a week. Outside of that, you’re going to effectively just buy aventus if you like it that much. All of the Arab shit doesn’t smell like aventus at all despite the reviews of coping retards saying “well once you get past the synthetic opening it’s so close to aventus”.

What would you guys recommend for a 30 year old white man who is 6’3, in shape and conventionally good looking?

>>17720061
New York Intense

>>17720061
I'd recommend they leave this awful thread immediately lol

>>17720084
yeah it just seems like one guy spamming whatever NY intense is

>>17720061
You just described me so pic related.

>>17720089
saved. Thanks fren, I will look into these. I’ve heard CDG is a great house, so I’ll look into wonderwood and probably get a sample alongside some of the others you listed.

>>17720089
Nice genderfreak colours on the spreadsheet there bub

SOTD Lalique Pour Homme Lion. It just ain't no NYI.

>>17720064
Seconding this.

>>17720092
Trolled hard lol, another low IQ victim...

>>17720102
I don’t want to spend 150$ for a barbershop scent that makes me smell like I am 60 years old. I don’t live in a cold climate at all, so anything like that is a complete waste.

>>17720089
Not the real gothrock fragrance spreadsheet as it lacks tactical soap

>>17720103
I mean I am asking for suggestions, I obviously don’t have an autistic obsession with fragrances like you. Thanks for letting me know though, I’ll go ahead and leave the thread as the other anon suggested.

>>17720108
The guy posting that chart has been spamming the thread with "gothrock" nonsense for months now. He is an untrustworthy fellow.

>>17720108
Also you should a) just go to a dept store and smell things for yourself or b) just wear bleu de chanel

>>17720054
Explorer is a different take on Aventus DNA, but overall is a better fragrance than Aventus. Just because it's dirt cheap, doesn't mean it's bad. Legend spirit mogs most fragrances aswell and costs €50 for 200 mL.

>>17716852
Beware of L'Aventure, CDNIM, and other shitty arab frag recommendations. I've tried them all and they're all disgusting. Synthetic cleaner opener, disgusting slimebad drydown. Overall just makes you feel dirty. Montblanc explorer is more woody/smokey than Aventus but still nicely rounded. It might not smell better than Aventus (for some people), but it's definitely a manlier fragrance than Aventus and it won't leave you feeling disgusted.

>>17720054
the Loewe Aventus clone some guy keeps shilling (I'm guessing it's the Aventus coomer) is also pretty good, I like it more than Explorer
but it's also more expensive IIRC

>>17720092
Did you read how the tiers are explained in the top right corner though? ShitDG is not really worth buying. Also, you shouldn't pay attention to the mentally ill spamming retards such as
>>17720095
>>17720103
>>17720112

>>17720107
Tactical soap?

>>17720181
Loewe esencia EDP. (Of course real ones know the original EDT is the better of the two fragrances)

He was posting about it with those laughable charts with women that had albinism next to the Loewe. Typical third world porn addled retardism, I'm afraid.

Am I tweaking or do these two frags smell pretty much the same? All I'm getting is incense with blue background

>>17720185
It's very goth rock. It's very "you".

>>17720196
Are you able to post anything but cringe?

>>17720197
Are you? You've been making a spectacle of yourself for about ten threads now. And you still haven't managed to create a particularly gothic fragrance list. Hang it up.

>>17720193
they both have incense (mostly Norlimbanol I guess), but Profumo is more straight up aquatic

>>17720204

anyone have the spreadsheet where the anon listed what frags he wore, the number of compliments he received, and the types of people giving him compliments

>>17720203
Why are you so obsessed with gothrock?

>>17718419
to my surprise the alcohol took on the scent very fast, it even has a very dark color already. Granted, the herbs are a lot thinner than the fruit or berries I'd usually use

>>17720092
dont get memed
if you want serious replies use the template in the OP for recs. until thenn: bois imperial, dakar, new york intense and then fuck off and never come back, this is for your own sake

Post your collection with a timestamp

Current frag collection
Can anyone recommend me please
1. Something lemony and creamy
2. Something minty and talcumy?

>>17720258
That’s a quite random collection but I guess some of these bottles were just with you for long before you starred thinking about fragrances. See charts to find a fragrance for you but here are some extra ideas:

>1. Something lemony and creamy
IDEO Parfums From London to Mumbai, Geo F Trumpers Sandalwood, Chanel Allure Blanche if you want a designer but it’s not worth the price after the recent Chanel’s price hike - you can get Jerkoff Naxos for the same price at a discount
>2. Something minty and talcumy?
ELDO You or Someone Like You, Carven L’Eau Intense, that one minty Guerlain in a box-shaped bottle

>>17720223
Why is he?

>>17720252
I already have, many times.

>>17720053
My top 3 so far is looking like The Soft Lawn, A City On Fire, and Cape Heartache in that order. I currently have about 8 left to try, and the only one I've heard anything good about is Slow Explosions, so I'm expecting that to hold unless something really comes out of nowhere and blows me away.

>>17717164
1. Chanel No. 5 EDP
2. Lanvin Arpege
3. Tom Ford Grey Vetiver
4. Acqua Colonia Intense Wakening Woods of Scandinavia
5. Acqua Colonia Blood Orange & Basil

>>17720258
>all homo frags except one

>>17720273
