Get cancer.

>>17723091
Dior Homme. H24 and TdH are going to get cloying in that weather. Bois Imperal is too powerful. Unless you want to make a lasting (not necessarily good) impression kek

>>17723089
you did indeed make up that nonsensical practice of barring horns in some sort of online dick measuring contest, and unfortunately i refuse to participate.

>>17723092
How about you contribute to this thread anyhow instead of shitposting? Perhaps just post a timestamped photo with the last 3 bottles you wore this week? Just so we can have a look who are we talking with here

>>17723091
Tdh is the safe choice, dhp if you want to seduce them

>>17723104
You really think I'm gonna get up and write literal timestamps for each fragrance I wore this week? At least lead by example god damn. Best you could get is me taking a zoomed photo from my chair. I just had a big meal after work and I am not moving my ass. Bro said 3 timestamped bottles. Shaking my damn head. How about you stop trolling and make normal threads?

>>17723117
>you sound like you hate the small hobbyist perfumer
there are lots of talented ones, but more often than not they are terrible, and are all the same touted as “better” than a fragrance made by a genius perfumer like jacques guerlain or edmond roudnitska simply because they’re simply more obscure (and likely more expensive).
>better quality? maybe, but antaeus is an empty shell by now.
modern antaeus is still decent, and again, if antaeus is all that comes to mind when thinking of chanel, the problem is you, not them.
>more interesting? not in the last decades
again, i ask: modern perfumery? who cares? it’s not like they’re ever going to discontinue the classics.
>>17723118
>more offtopic whining and bitching
into the trash it goes.

>>17723104
It's also absolutely insane that you're telling ME of all people to contribute to the thread, when in the past few months I've posted by far the most OC out of anyone. I've given you images and webms and everything in between on different fragrances and samples you've never seen in your life. Like my bad I haven't bought anything new recently, because my local store doesn't stock the one I want, and I haven't spoonfed you OC and carried your dogshit spam thread. I'm not gonna buy perfumes each week. Bitchass. Where are your contributions? Have you posted a single photo of a perfume you own that you took? Faggot.

>>17723127
i’m afraid no one cares about paying any respects to an anonymous shitposter. if you want a reputation, go to a forum.

you.

>>17723120
Ok let’s go. My 3 most worn bottles this week. Mostly my summer work perfumes. The little decant and my SOTD is Quarantana Ierofante as it is Friday evening and I’m going out soon. It’s like a niche version of Fahrenheit (and reminiscent of the discontinued Bulgari Black) with its gasoline-leather afford. Very wearable despite edgy marketing

It's musky. Similar to Aventus Drydown?

>>17723191
we had this discussion several threads ago i'm not going to answer this

>>17723186
calling it a night in a resigned, melancholy way or in an unwilling, (probably drunkenly) defiant way?

>>17723192
You not exactly described how it smells. Only that it's not similar to Aventus.

>>17723193
Both at the same time but also separately.

>>17723206
i don’t think perfume is a sophisticated enough art form to convey such contradictory states of emotion at once.

>>17723212
Maybe you are just not knowledgeable enough on the topic.

>>17723238
or maybe perfumers are like blind men groping in the dark for aromachemicals that work and won’t get banned by the EU/IFRA through tedious blind trial and error and have no real systematic understanding of the materials they work with.

>SOTD Dior Homme Sport 2021
I would like to formally celebrate Dior for not being a scumbag designer house and actually taking risks and changing their DNA over time whilst staying very high quality. I’ve been using picrel for the last 2 weeks off and on - it’s completely different than the 2017 release. It’s very modern, deep, complex, has 3 definitive stages to the frag yet still manages to stay fresh through out the entire duration. The best way I can describe it is, imagine TdH and ADG Profumo had a love child, but it’s made for a 25 year old man. 100% worth buying at retail, cannot recommend it enough. Haven’t been this pleasantly suprised about a designer frag in years.

>>17723275
dior has not had a serious coherent DNA since roudnitska retired, get over yourself.

>>17723279
>hasn’t tried it
>has definitive opinion regardless
like pottery, as I said I was pleasantly surprised.

>>17723281
i haven’t made any claims on the fragrance itself, not that i need to since your rambling tirade betrayed little understanding of perfume history.

>>17723283
>i haven’t made any claims on the fragrance itself, not that i need to since your rambling tirade betrayed little understanding of perfume history.
there’s no way you told me to get over myself for enjoying a frag and then wrote this write after with a straight face KEK. dude (you) need to get over yourself, it’s a quality fragrance and 90% of the posters here would enjoy it. Not that deep, nobody is competing with you.

>>17723288
you missed the part where i clearly do not give a shit about the actual fragrance in question. also,
>would
sick hypothetical bro. using this thread as a benchmark isn’t exactly a persuasive argument for fragrance quality either.

>>17723293
yeah I missed the part where you don’t give a shit because you clearly do give a shit. Why would you spend the time to give me a (you) and then continually reply if you don’t care? Now you just sound foolish, again no one is competing with you. If you haven sampled or worn the frag and you have a very strong opinion, no one will take you seriously - that’s common sense that even children understand.

I have the best source for fragrances on this entire god forsaken image board. No one gets better prices than I do, and no I will not share the sauce.

>>17723297
why would i give a shit about the fragrance when i haven’t said a single word about it? all i said was that your opening tirade was based on a faulty premise because dior has had a decades long gap of hiring givaudan perfumers to do their dirty work until they installed francois demachy (who is, if nothing else, totally unindividualistic) as house perfumer. there’s no “dior DNA” when everything from fahrenheit to jules to j’adore to the majority of the 800000 miss dior reformulations was cobbled together by completely different people.

Alright which one of you assholes broke perfumo? I was about to check the souk for this one secret fragrance I've been trying to get and stumbled upon this.

>>17723300
Enjoy your fakes bro

>>17723300
>unboxed

>>17723316
He buys a fake and a genuine and returns the fake to the genuine store to get it for nearly free basically.

>>17723309
look man, I don’t have an autistic level of knowledge on dior. However, I do know that they changed their DNA from 2008, 2012, 2017, and now 2021 for DHS. I admire that they’re willing to take risks when other houses don’t, it is refreshing to see a designer house that isn’t scared of change. That was my only point, I was disappointed with 2017 DHS and now the 2021 is leaps and bounds beyond that release and other frags that are similar. Anything else you’re assuming is just that, an assumption. Again, it’s not that deep and it seems to me that you’re using my post as a means to “flex” your knowledge which is cringe and unproductive. 99% of the posters here don’t care, nor want to know about the details you just listed - they want to buy a fragrance that is good, enjoyable to wear and somewhat unique. I guess congrats on having all of this knowledge, but it has zero relation to my original post. I suggest sampling the frag, it is top 3 designer freshies imho up there with BDC easily and no one even really wears it. That was the goal of my post, nothing more nothing less. Have a good day.

>>17723311
nice dox. parfumo is fucked since this morning, maybe ddos. deservedly for having power tripping femoid jannies

>>17723316
I’ve used this source over 10x and everything I buy is 100% legit. In fact I just bought an MB explorer tester 3.4 for 36$.

what’s that? You’re paying retail for niche house frags?

>>17723330
so, uh, they're stealing testers from the mall?

>>17723324
>However, I do know that they changed their DNA from 2008, 2012, 2017, and now 2021 for DHS
that’s not a DNA, that’s francois demachy being a spineless dimwit and getting bent over time and time again by LVMH. a DNA is jacques guerlain taking everything francois coty did right and filling it with guerlinade and a dozen other notes to plush things out. a DNA is edmond roudnitska’s melon and overripe fruits accord that he developed over his entire career starting from rochas femme and diorama. what you’re talking about is just a corporate automaton doing bernard arnault’s bidding.
>Again, it’s not that deep and it seems to me that you’re using my post as a means to “flex” your knowledge which is cringe and unproductive
this isn’t a flex, it’s pointing out that the idea that a bunch of disparate, unrelated perfumers can somehow have some sort of collective house DNA is ridiculous. it’s not that far off from how upper middle class women are convinced that the likes of le labo or dipdick are somehow artisanal when all their shit is made by the same handful of perfumers from the same handful of billion dollar fragrance corporations. above all, it betrays a lack of understanding of who actually composes fragrances that companies sell under a brand name and what goes on behind the curtain, which is rife not just in this thread but in the entire fragrance consumer market.
>I suggest sampling the frag, it is top 3 designer freshies imho up there with BDC easily
i literally could not care less about it.

>>17723335
do you guys really buy at retail? Kek. No, they buy testers from other countries with saturated fragrance markets like Saudi Arabia, UAE, france etc and then resell them in the American market. It’s actually extremely common, the only downside is you get what you get - they won’t always have what you’re exactly looking for but often have great frags.

I got a new fragrance and I can still smell it on me like 24 hours later. I'm super afraid this shit is too strong even with one spray. I get so self conscious every time someone near me coughs. WDYD?

>>17723350
stop being so self-conscious and oversocialized.

>>17723331
I wouldn’t want to own any PdM even if someone paid me $120 for that. How about you get some taste before getting sources to stolen testers?

>>17723345
I didn’t read anything past “that’s not a DNA”. You have tried it, clearly you haven’t bought anything from Dior because they’ve drastically changed 4 times now.

>>17723349
>great frags
>shitty Poli flanker and PdM
Ok bro whatever floats your boat

>>17723354
my condolences for your crippling illiteracy. everything i own from dior is vintage. i could not give less of a shit about whatever LVMH thinks the modern fragrance consumer wants.

>>17723353
It’s simply an example, also PDM has some good frags and imo is probably the best house to get new frag enjoyers into the niche market. Godolphin is great, Pegasus is great, Perceval is boring, but mass appealing and very well made etc.

>>17723357
It’s not illiteracy, I just didn’t read your gay blogpost, retard. Nobody gives a fuck about the lore of some perfumer, it’s a good frag that’s it. You’re probably one of those fags who buys stuff like Coty and Yatagan because you’re poor.

>>17723358
PDM is a glorified Arab clone house faking heritage. Your brags really don’t phase anyone here as these are simply shorty fragrances I wouldn’t spend a dime on anyways

>>17723381
i’m not sure what kind of currency your cooked dopamine receptors run on, but i really don’t give a fuck about farming (You)s. if i were that attention starved i’d go to actual social media, not a fucking anonymous shitposting board.
>>17723383
i had that one aimed at the moron shilling for PdM, but you know what, it’s not horribly inaccurate on you either.

>>17723361
> Coty and Yatagan because you’re poor
Nothing wrong with Yatagan but it also always amuses me how noobs who just simply don’t have money for this hobby pretend to be over some 80s fragrances and create entire cope lore around their choices. The truth is that most of these fragrances were just Sauvages of their time and that’s it. I can imagine some boomers really enjoying them for sentimental reasons or people who have been into this hobby for a long time and fully understand the historical role of these fragrances and how they shaped the market liking them, but 20-something poor students writing blogposts copypasting terms they don’t understand to justify their choices are really amusing. Fun fact: my father used to wear Eau Sauvage when he was younger but it wasn’t because of some lofty reasons or for the artistry. He was simply an attractive Chad and bought it because it was a fragrance that seemed cool to him and wanted to impress girls with it. He didn’t wear some 1900s vintages and he would probably just wear Bleu de Chanel if he is was 20 again these days. Also perfume is such a feminine hobby enjoyed online by mostly maladjusted weirdos that I have a really hard time believing in any reasons other than LARPing when I read anonymous people on 4chan arguing how their old school fragrances are perfect choices for masculine men like them.

>>17723386
So you’re not going to share what I should be buying? I accept your concession.

>>17723391
This. Everytime I post a newer release, I have an anon like the sperg above who freaks out on me. 99% of the time, they’re buying 80’s “powerhouses” that are 15$ off eBay and passing it off as their “taste”.

>>17723376
Not him but I’m happy to pay $100 extra to get a great customer service, be sure that I’m not buying a fake (or an opened perfume like you screenshoted) and get a bunch of samples. It might be hard to believe but for some people your niche bottle you’re saving up for months is just as much as a night out.

>>17723396
fair point, I guess I just like getting 2-3 frags for the price of one.

>>17723391
i went on a spiel a long time ago about how drakkar noir was the sauvage of its time (bleu de chanel would be the azzaro pour homme of this analogy), and i still stand by it. the difference is that, as the old guy robert maxim goes, drakkar noir smells good, and that’s all that matters. sauvage does not. and as the passage of time erodes culture and perfumes become individual objects without the context of who wears them and why, only then can a given perfume be evaluated on its own merits. this is why plenty of men unashamedly wear mitsouko and a myriad of other classic guerlains today, when they were the perfume of choice for prostitutes and mistresses a hundred years ago. their ladylike and regal counterpart, caron, on the other hand, is totally forgotten aside from a handful of masculines, 2 of which have nothing to do with daltroff. funny how history works, right?
>>17723394
you seem pretty content with LVMH focus grouped freshies, so i don’t see the need for it. go forth and multiply, i say.

I think it is beautiful that true perfume enthusiasm can unite freakish social midgets in appreciation for things normal people don't want to smell.

>>17723411
where? Give the post a you and then give me a you. I don’t see any posts of you expressing what you actually buy and wear. Just spergposts, that’s about it.

>>17723403
> drakkar noir smells good, and that’s all that matters. sauvage does not
You’re completely wrong about it and think this way only because of all of the current associations you have with Sauvage. As a matte or fact Drakkar was perceived as a way more obnoxious (and prevalent) fragrances than Sauvage ever has been. It was a meme name for an obnoxious perfume portrayed this way in movies, TV series etc. You’re just rediscovering it and having perhaps the same rush that early adopters of Drakkar had. That’s it.

>>17723416

Is it really that difficult to just say what you bought and wear without being extremely vague? So you buy, and consistently wear “vintage Dior”. Okay man kek.

While we’re at it, timestamp it. I’ve seen too many spergs repsoting photos from Reddit and elsewhere here. Let’s see what you actually own to back-up all of your hot takes

>>17723419
>You’re completely wrong about it and think this way only because of all of the current associations you have with Sauvage
or perhaps, just maybe, i don’t mind the smell of aromatic fougeres (especially not ones using dihydromyrcenol 40 years after it’s been abused to death post-cool water) and i mind the smell of ambroxan, doubly so when it’s used in a banal, deafening, neo-aquatic manner. as for the drakkar noir associations, it’s precisely those kinds of cultural connotations i was talking about when i talked about the passage of time eroding cultural context. no one here knows that drakkar noir was largely avoided by men in france in its heyday because it apparently became a perfume of choice for french lesbians, and really, why would they? but all the same it’s part of the fragrance’s original culture that no longer exists. now it stands on its own, and it stands up respectfully well as a pillar of its subgenre and an important stepping stone on the road from aromatic fougere to aquatic.
>>17723427
i’ve mentioned a very specific house perfumer from dior multiple times. i think if you bothered to DYOR (not to be confused with dior) and not ask to be spoonfed successively, you’d have much better results than simply being condescending.
>>17723428
can’t say i’m convinced, sorry.

>>17723434
>more blahblahblah and opinions copied from the raiders of the lost scent blog
>still no photos of his collection
just as expected, I can smell from a mile Dunning-Kruger idiots. Perhaps smelling more frags and actually owning some bottles would help you with having some original thoughts

>>17723434
Posting your collection with a timestamp is 20x easier than writing out multiple blogposts repeatedly. You just lost all credibility with everyone here, not that it matters but to you it seems like it does. I’m going to go ahead and assume you don’t own or wear anything you’re describing, many such cases.

>>17723439

or maybe i'm interested in talking about perfume and not so interested in internet dickwaving.

>>17723440

>>17723442
yeah, he’s making me audibly laugh at this point. It’s abundantly clear that he loves frags that he can’t afford/access and wants to pass his knowledge off as somehow being a “fragrance guru”. Not sure why /frag/ attracts guys like this, but I guess that’s 4chan for ya

>>17723441
> i'm interested in talking about perfume
That’s fine but have you considered a possibility of having an original thought or perhaps just not being a dick when you’re just simply parroting someone else’s opinions?

>>17723446
dickwaving what, that i know about perfume history? anyone can do that with a little bit of time and effort, it's not a flex by any stretch of the imagination. you yourself said it, you can just read a couple blogs and get the basic jist of the idea. doesn't sound like an exercise worthy of dickwaving about to me.

>>17723447
your fanfiction about me is nothing short of adorable. i'm glad i've served as such an inspirational muse for you.
>>17723448
have you considered a possibility that multiple individuals can arrive at similar conclusions independently and that not everything you read that's vaguely similar to your e-daddies counts as parroting? or to rephrase, if you think talking about how some shitty dior homme flanker is "top 3 freshies of all time with bleu de chanel" counts as an original thought, boy do i have bad news for you.

>>17723450
I didn’t say that, you’re talking to 2 anons right now. However I do agree with him, and his point stands. He is saying that you’re repeating talking points without actually having bought or tried anything you’re describing - all the while putting down other anons and their preferences. Unless you’ve bought and worn it. Idk what to tell you besides that you sound like a liar to everyone here, and you and posters like you are the core reason why this thread never gains traction.

>>17723454
i've smelled everything discussed in this conversation aside from the dior homme flanker that started it; whether it's through buying my own bottles or having smelled it at a local boutique. i don't bother with testers or decants because i can smell almost everything i want; if i like it i buy full bottles. no, i'm not inclined to post them, partly because i'm not interested in this faggy online flex culture of "post your bottles or they dont exist BRO" and partly also because i enjoy spiting people who participate in it. as for this thread gaining traction, i wouldn't cry if a couple of the morons on it moved to fragrantica or /r/fragrance, not the least of which include the kenzo/bois imperial coomer and the kingcobrajfs but gay.

>>17723451
>your fanfiction about me is nothing short of adorable. i'm glad i've served as such an inspirational muse for you.
You sound like a Reddit poster who uses extravagant vocabulary as a way to come off as “smart”. Let me guess, your mother told you that you were smart and you ran with it? Just give it up dude, you already slid the thread, you’re very unlikeable, nobody believes you and you’re arguing over things you’ve never tried a day in you’re life because you want to be revered as an “expert” on an anonymous image board. Most people here are simply average dudes who enjoy frags or want to learn more, you are the antithesis to that and nobody enjoys it but you. I say this in good faith, just try some stuff and start posting what you actually wear or something.

>>17723450
He’s not me, this may come of as a surprise but there multiple posters fed up with your demeanor of praising fragrances that you haven’t even experienced yourself and parroting opinions while talking shit at the same time. Listen, you seem like a lad who spent some time reading about fragrances which is great but at the same time you shouldn’t be surprised that people want to see what are you actually wearing. There’s nothing wrong with not having money for hunting $1000 vintages as there are many excellent cheapies but I would expect at least something interesting to see (rare or not) in a collection of such an opinionated person to back up the image you’re trying so hard to establish here.

>>17723458
So why can’t you just post your collection if you’ve literally smelled everything that’s ever been posted here? People collect frags solely for the purpose of sharing it and describing their fav frags for various reasons. Again, no one believes you at all - you can write as many paragraphs as you want but until you support your bold takes with a simple timestamped picture it doesn’t matter.

>>17723458
> i'm not inclined to post them, partly because i'm not interested in this faggy online flex culture
Yeah I’m so sure about that bro

>>17723460
if you consider "adorable" and "inspirational" to be extravagant vocabulary then you might have bigger problems at hand than just smelling bad. also the idea of "sliding" a thread is really funny, like this isn't a general that gets refreshed before the bump limit without fail every single time.
>>17723462
why does more than one poster feel compelled to reply to this post with "not him but" type shit? bringing that up unprompted makes me strongly believe that i may be talking to the same autistic retard who has an obsession with me.
>>17723464
better question is, why should i? i'm not beholden to anything or anyone, and i'm not here to flex my collection. i'm here to talk about fragrance. if i were so desperate to accumulate online cred, i'd be posting on instagram, not fucking 4chan.
>>17723466
good, you have every reason to be. now cry about it.

>>17723467
>better question is, why should i?
Because you’re claiming to be an expert of frags, of uses vintage stuff that is extremely expensive and rare. All the while being an asshole to anons who are posting what they enjoy in good faith, implying they should listen to you and take your advice. How many times do we have to repeat this before you stop making excuses? All you’re doing is providing excuse after excuse, no substance whatsoever. It’s pathetic. I’d respect someone more if they posted their 15$ bottle of CK one they bought on eBay and dropped a review than what you’re doing right now. If your goal is to be unlikeable, have no one believe you and ostracize yourself from an already obscure image board then congrats.

>>17723467
>spends 2h writing angry posts
>claims he cannot be bothered to take a timestamped photo of his collection
Yeah pal. Also everyone who disagrees with the you is totally the same person. You’re reaching the /frag/ schizo’s level of absurdity but you’re too new here to know who that was. In any case, I’ve seen people like you here before many times (despite not coming here so often over last 2 years) and it’s all really funny to watch how the biggest shitposters and trolls will do everyone just not to post their collection. Enjoy the rest of your day

>>17723467
>if i were so desperate to accumulate online cred
you’re the only one here flexing and competitively putting down other anons in an attempt to look like an expert. You’ve contradicted yourself for the 3rd time now. This is what happens when you lie, you have to continue to make up more lies until you get found out which happened about 15 minutes ago. You’re voluntarily embarrassing yourself at this point, actually pathetic. Inb4 I don’t give a shit, no one asked. Just shut the fuck up and leave so others can enjoy the thread as it’s intended to be enjoyed.

I'm looking for something reminiscent of Masculin Pluriel that I could use less sparingly without worrying that much about running out. I like its warmth and depth but I can't find anything similar. Any supposed alternatives I tried are just too sweet (zaharoff, Percival etc, even Platinum Egoiste has too much metallic sweetness). Beau de Jour is too herbal. Sartorial too cloyingly abrasive wit hthe metallic honey notes. I would gladly welcome any other suggestions.

>Because you’re claiming to be an expert of frags
i'm not. i just like talking about fragrance.
>of uses vintage stuff that is extremely expensive and rare
none of my vintages are very expensive or rare. all of them were attained quite easily on etsy, ebay or local classifieds. i haven't claimed to own vintage iris gris or nombre noir (not that anyone here would care about either of those), so no, nothing i own is very rare or expensive.
>All the while being an asshole to anons who are posting what they enjoy in good faith, implying they should listen to you and take your advice
i don't give advice. i prefer other people do their own research. are you sure you aren't confusing me with someone else?
>All you’re doing is providing excuse after excuse
i have no excuses, you simply seem to have amassed a number of preconceived falsities about me that i am more than happy to explicitly expel.
>have no one believe you and ostracize yourself from an already obscure image board then congrats
oh no, i'm a social reject on an anonymous shitposting board. oh woe is me.
>>17723481
i've laid out my reasons for not wanting to post my collection, "not bothering" certainly wasn't one of them, though it very well could be. someone needs to retake elementary english.
>>17723482
again, please do explain to me how putting an insignificant amount of time and effort into reading about perfume history is some sort of flex. i still don't understand this part, nor do i understand his contradiction snafu that you seem to desperately want me to fall for.
>>17723489
the last two posts i replied to were posted exactly a minute apart, typically a sign of samefagging, though more likely than not it's just two separate idiots asking the same dumbass questions.

>>17723497
They were posted 40 seconds apart, it’s more than one anon.

>>17723501
i was referring to >>17723464 and >>17723466. why would i have been talking about two posts that came AFTER the post you were replying was made? do i have to ask you how you would feel if you didn't eat breakfast this morning?

>>17723506
Those were the two last posts the anon was referring to. you’re just a compulsive liar who’s lying again, clearly. Regardless, it doesn’t matter what you are referring to, my screenshot proves that there is 2 anons not 1.

>>17723507
lying about what, being unable to refer to a post that didn't exist when my prior post was made? are you being retarded on purpose or something?

>>17723508
There were 2 posts criticizing you 40 seconds apart. That means there were 2 anons you were arguing with, a very simple concept. Again it doesn’t matter how you’re trying to spin it, it’s pretty black and white. You’re just retarded I guess idk.

>>17723484
If you’re already spending that much money on a barbershop style frag, you should just get MCDI invasion barbare

>>17723510
yeah, except my original statement about finding it suspicious that two supposedly separate anons replying to the same post with the same "not him but" shtick unprompted being suspicious had absolutely nothing to do with the two posts you screencapped. i think you've lost the plot.

>>17723517
you’re actually retarded. Your suspicions are wrong, that has been proven by 2 separate, very long posts by anons critiquing you being posted 40 seconds apart. There is no way to spin this into something it’s not, you’re wrong, it’s not one anon, it was 2. Get over it.

>>17723522
please explain to me what relevance those 2 posts you screencapped have with the aforementioned posts replying to me with the same line about supposedly not being the other guy unprompted.

>>17723526
The relevance of them is that they prove your suspicion wrong without a shadow of a doubt. Again, for the 3rd time now - it was 2 anons, not 1 as you implied it was. How is that confusing for you? Genuinely curious

>>17723527
how exactly do they prove that at all when you can't even reasonably prove that the same people who made the original 2 posts i was referring to also made the same 2 posts you're referring to? i replied to 4 separate posts twice, which could reasonably speaking be 4 separate people talking to me. you have less than a 50% chance of correctly attributing the posters of the original 2 posts to your own 2 posts.

Not much. An anon with an inflated ego got butthurt for being called out for copying someone’s opinions while not having a collection backing up his posts. He in turn, triggered another similarly fragile anon (apparently he’s the antichart shitposter) who started throwing a tantrum and created a new thread. Another anon with an even bigger ego got into the fight in the meantime.

>>17723693
this accusation of parroting opinions keeps getting thrown around, but aside from raiders of the lost scent, no one seems to be able to name who exactly is being parroted. almost like the notion of parroting opinions is itself being parroted without any basis. ironic stuff.

>>17723275
I tried this today after someone said it was a good incense frag and I didn't want to believe such a mainstream frag contained relevant amounts of incense, but I admit it does now.

SOTD: Gucci Memoire d'une Odeur

>>17723701
H24 makes best sense in the context of christine nagel’s other hermes perfumes like twilly and galop, where she’s seemingly trying to continue jean claude ellena’s minimalist approach while also reaching for accords that are really unorthodox and bizarre. in twilly it’s a big tuberose, in galop it’s a weird leather, and in H24 it’s somewhere between an ambroxan bomb without the aquatic connotations and with a fruity mango/banana accord and a drydown reminiscent of a steam iron. i can’t bring myself to buy a bottle because there are a whole bunch of other hermes fragrances i’m more interested in, but i’d sooner support this sort of perfumery than any ambroxan bluey or yet another paper thin watery ellena concoction.
>>17723707
i didn’t even realize the dog was conditioned to footsteps, i thought it was a bell.

>>17723701
No, it mid, but I also think Bois Imperial is mid, so take my opinion whatever way you want.

>>17723697
I don’t care about opinions being copied or not but I read your posts and the truth is you want to obnoxiously impose your opinions on others as an authority here and whine about your contributions to this thread that should be self-evident for everyone here in your opinion. Asking for a photo of your collection is not unreasonable and easier

>>17723715
i don’t believe in anyone’s opinions on an anonymous website being an authority, i just like discussing perfume, even if it means deliberately challenging people. and no, i’m still not obliging any pictures of my collection because i simply see no reason to.

It lacks the Chanel roundness/refinement, but is otherwise close enough to BdC. Compare that to Missoni Wave, which is way closer to Allure Homme Sport than Missoni PH is to BdC. If you absolutely need something similar to BdC as a cheap dumb reach, it's acceptable.

one is a semi-oriental chypre, the other is a neoclassical fougere. very different scents. gonna go against the grain and vote for invasion barbare, though realistically speaking you could own both and be happy, and if you’re into this sort of neoclassical perfumery you should be looking into promesse de l’aube and enlevement as well.

Recently got a sample of bois imperial and really liked it (bought a bottle) but my gf LOVED it. She’s even worn the sample herself a few times, and is now asking me to find her “the female version of this” (not necessarily a similar scent, but in terms of projection/longevity, synthetic-natural balance, linearity)

Now, I haven’t smelled it myself, but… that describes BR540, right? Should I get her the MFK sample set?

Sotd Aventus
How can your Sotd even compete?

>>17724369
yeah, the female equivalent of bois imperial (trend chasing hype garbage) is br540 for sure.

>>17723345
Supposedly, Dior's idea was that they change the scent kinda like they change clothing collections, at least that was someone's defense for what they're doing. Which is a great idea if they announced it properly and maybe had one such line that they'd change every year or two, then people would be excited for the new limited release and you'd have collectors. It would also give the perfumers more range to be daring.
Now it's just confusing and they release shit at random and you have no idea what to expect.

>>17723375
Two completely different fragrances. Bisch created BI based on someone else's wishes for a minimalist green fragrance.

>>17723701
They're only similar in that they're kind of minimalist, transparent airy and modern. H24 less so, it's more like terre d'Hermes in structure, but different notes.

you're in for a good fragrance. I'm glad this thing became a bestseller, it's definitely a breath of fresh air among the other 21st Century designer big hits
performance isn't beastmode, but above average for a citrus fragrance

>>17724469
>it's definitely a breath of fresh air
is it really though? it’s essentially just the same ideas as timbuktu but stripped down even more by ellena and presented downmarket

>>17723701
it's worth a try, but not too similar to bois imperial

>>17724470
among modern designer big hits? yeah, I'll take it over blue fragrance #3456, ADG clone #6543 or vanilla gourmand #9702
also I always thought of it more as a stripped-down, heavily modernised continuation of Ellena's own Declaration

>>17724474
in the tiny world of popular designer fragrances maybe, but a): i’ve never seen the point of differentiating between designer and niche or masstige and b): you can still indirectly trace TdH’s lineage to mark buxton’s work for comme des garcons (think CdG2 woman and CdG3). i see timbuktu as its more direct ancestor because of how central iso e super is to both fragrances. declaration seems more like its aesthetic forebear, but not its compositional one.

>>17724445
>their main similarity is their overall transparency and maybe some surface level aesthetics, but it really ends there.
It's not that they smell the same, but change the ripe orange to unripe banana. Sage and narcissus from vetviver/cedar. Soft steam iron instead of salty flint mineral.

>>17723917
If you liked AHS, you won't regret Missoni Wave. I'm not a big fan of either, but Wave is undeniably of good quality and very well balanced without any harsh notes (and AHS too, of course, as to be expected from Chanel). Also, for the price, you can just nuke yourself with it 3x a day to always stay fresh.

what kind of coffee? black coffee? will be hard to find, i like rammstein sex but it's still kind of soft. closest i've come to it. want sweet milk coffee? plenty available. SM cafe, mugler amen and ted lapidus has one too.

SOTD: Puredistance Warszawa, again. What are you wearing lads?
>>17724550
Noselet. But I agree that it is tad too spicy-sweet. But that is too be expected from an oriental fougere.
>>17724544
Akro Awake, Kerosene Follow, 4160 Tuesdays Over The Chocolate Shop, Espresso Royale, Cartusia Terra Mia, Gallagher Carpe Cafe are the typical niche suspects that get mentioned. However, I dislike all of them as they represent the typical ambery-spicy-sweet genre of hiding coffee notes under tonka, vanilla and spices. The best one of this genre is an Italian artisanal attar maker: Abdes Salaam's Milano Caffe. I much prefer bitter, bold roasted bean coffee smell, but after years of searching I arrived at the conclusion that it must be nearly impossible to extract. I accepted this reality and try to enjoy the smell every time I grind coffee beans in the morning, and stopped hunting for a smell that smells like that. There's some beauty in the fact that it is not possible to recreate it in perfume. That being said, my personal two coffee favorites are Dior Eau Noire which is my favorite from Dior's private line and an extremely classy and seducing evening scent, and Strangers Parfumerie Burning Ben (his SM Cafe is also good but I prefer the former) which is a bold, smoky, dry and bitter bomb. Niche at its best.

>>17724737
dipdick isn’t worth your time. go for timbuktu.

Yesterday Haze is a fig-focused fragrance I thought was pretty interesting, to be honest. The fig mixes well with the cream and tonka notes to create an almost perfect replica of Fig Newtons, crust and all. Thankfully though they've contained the sweetness, so you get a combo that's rich without being overwhelming. There's a nice woody base to it which lets the other notes really pop. I thought it was quite pleasant the whole way through, and the performance was quite effective with 4 sprays lasting me about 6 hours. I am at the point where I have to seriously consider where on the ladder these fragrances fall, and I'd say this is about equivalent in quality to Saint Julep, but with a much different vibe I don't quite like as much. I haven't experienced enough fig fragrances to compare with, but I think if you like fig you'll really enjoy this.
Next on the list will be Whispered Myths, IA's oud fragrance. I haven't tried oud in perfume, but I have smelled it in incense, and I am pretty excited to see how it goes.

How the fuck this could be arousing to anyone? It's not like the other guy is even particularly good at sex. It's like dreaming of mediocrity.

la vie del profumo balsamo della mecca. a resinous frag, mainly trough the incense with slightly warm - but not sweet - undertones of spice. the smokey aspect comes from the incense too, it doesn't smell like something burnt down. the only note that doesn't feel dry are hints of pine. it's dark and dry with barely any sweetness but at the same time warm. i'm glad it's not as sweet as the notes suggest. i fucking hate splash on bottles and samples, absolutely haram.

When you hit a certain Testo level, you'll enjoy cuckoldry.>>17724989

I'd like to thank the anon who suggested I pick up a bottle of Yatagan. This stuff is incredible and distinctive. Never had anything like this.

>>17723919
I'm thinking OG Old Spice or Brut. Layered with Marlboro Lights.

>>17725006
seconding, I'm about to order it

Pls make a new one soon, gotta post about my greatest deal EVER
>>17723917
Best cheap summer freshie hands down.
>>17723721
It's pretty okay. Nothing upsetting, not exactly my jam but otherwise good.
>>17723701
Shit banana candy synthetic mess.

>>17724430
Tester bottles include the concentration on the label.

what am i in for

>>17725043
With about 40 posts left why don't you post about this great deal now?

>>17725067
paying 500$ for an overly sweet, unisex fragrance that is over-worn already. much better frags out there for even half the price.

>>17725006
>>17725018
I liked the idea of Yatagan but I can't get past the celery note my sample has.

>>17725006
its a masterpiece

>>17725070
I HATE making my cool 1 post in an almost expired thread. It just doesn't feel right.

Today I surprisingly found Prada amber at Douglas for the first time. Very nice scent, reminiscent of showergelly 90 fougeres like Sung. With a touch of unisex scent. Cool!

New to fragrances. What kind of impression does oud and sandalwood give off?

>>17725129
Sophisticated and exotic. Sandalwood is kind of creamy and powdery while oud can vary, especially with all the synthetic substitutes out there.

>>17725145
Ooh, nice! I think I'll buy this then. Even if the oud sucks. It's from the Goodwill and I'd rather smell like bad cologne/perfume than nothing at all.

>>17725160
buy what nigga

>>17725164

>>17723858

>>17725067
Candyshop
>>17724995
Snice. I posted about his fragrances a long time ago here, but it seemed like I had been the only person who tested them. I liked Balsamo Della Mecca, but his Oakmoss and Taliban Flower were the best ones of the lot.

>>17725178
No need, I googled it. This might be for women, I think.
but it would run me like 350 bucks outside of here, so i think i might get it anyway lmao

>>17725188
is it this one? then it's a unisex release. sandalwood and oud tend to be used more in men's perfumes, so you should be fine

>>17725195
Oh, is there a site for this? The thing I'm looking at is a little more "golden". Looks like picrel.

>>17725199
also a unisex release. sounds decent enough. the site is Fragrantica

>>17725181
nice, you probably posted about it before my time. its hard to judge from a 0.5ml sample but balsamo della mecca is nice but not sure if i'd buy a full bottle of it at that price. i primarily ordered from him for the castoreum tincture but got a 5ml mini of casablanca too which review later, wearing it right now. couldn't find anything about that frag anywhere.
sell me on taliban flower and oakmoss. did you try the polish guys mech oakmoss too and can compare? although the polack is MIA, still hasn't responded to my email after weeks...
taliban flower does sound really interesting though

>>17725211
Thanks a million, anon! Gonna see how this pans out on a date, maybe. :)

>>17725228
Don't forget to spritz the base of your ball sack, just once or twice, the warmth from your body will release more of the aroma

Any thoughts on pic related? I've heard it praised pretty widely. But I'm hoping it has some level of freshness to it and not just creamy sandalwood and benzoin throughout

>>17725248
Im not one to normally say this but that stuff smells gay

>>17723711
Pavlov and his collaborators ran a number of experiments with a number of different dogs, but the first one, that Pavlov was using for his physiology experiments on dogs' salivary glands and all of its attached structures, and which is the closest you can get to finding a single Pavlov's dog, was indeed conditioned to salivate upon hearing footsteps.
SOTD: deodorant, I went on a hike with friends

>>17725067
the cashier at the upscale department store i was shopping at with my mom the other oversprayed this strongly enough that i could smell it nearly 12 feet away. that’s the kind of person who’s wearing this stuff now.

>>17725212
>price
My advice is to wait. Dominique makes a 50% promo on everything (and he’s quite generous with samples as you’ve brooches) couple times a year. This way I bought one of his boxes with those 5ml minis of like 12 or so his fragrances.
>Abdes’ Oakmoss
Let me copy Claire’s review where she compares it to OJ’s Evernia (also an excellent oakmoss fragrance).
>Oakmoss (Muschio di Quercia) by Abdes Salaam Attar: Oakmoss is one of my favorite fragrances from Abdes Salaam Attar, but compared to Evernia, it is an altogether wetter, earthier, and more vivid scent – more an experience than a perfume. It is also as much a vetiver scent as it is an oakmoss one, though, arguably, it conjures up the ‘forest floor’ aspect of oakmoss just as effectively as oakmoss absolute does. Oakmoss at first smells like wet leaves, upturned soil, bark, wild mint, the air after a rainstorm, and potatoes buried deep in the ashes of a campfire. It plugs me directly into a powerful current of memory – playing War with my brothers and neighborhood friends in the sprawling ditches and orchards once attached to our Famine Era home. Slowly, the sodden smell of tree sap, mulch, and root dries out, ceding some ground (but not all) to an incensey, blond oakwood note, which is probably cedar but reminds me very much of the aromatic woodiness of Chêne (Serge Lutens) minus the booze. It smells more like split logs drying in a shed and woodsmoke than the oozing wetness of living trees.
>The oakmoss has a bitter velvety softness that calls to mind the furred green carpets creeping over the roots and trunks of old oaks in some less trodden part of the forest. And while Oakmoss is far from sweet or creamy, the nuttiness of Dubrana’s famous Mysore sandalwood gives it a rounded warmth that speaks to comfort.

>>17725212
>>17725298
> >Kaszebszci Mech
As a matter of fact, I’m the oakmoss poster who brought it to this thread. I’m glad I randomly came across his fragrances as it is excellent. It’s much different from Abdes’ oakmoss though. I always repeat it but I think it sums up Perfumecraft’s oakmoss frag well: think (vintage) Eau Sauvage but with green oakmoss tuned up to 10 not simply humming in the background as in Eau Sauvage and a photorealistic freshly cut grass accord in the opening. His fragrance smells like Rousseau jungle paintings look like. Deep but vivid greens with some mystery to them.
>Taliban Flower
It is a austere meditation on labdanum with a beautiful, sharp natural jasmine.

>>17725006
Everyone should own a bottle, it's fantastic and a great value. We love a good cheapie don't we folks.

>>17725298
>>17725303
ah damn if i knew about the frequent sales i'd have waited with my order a bit. but i NEEDED castoreum right now...
did minis in the box all came in a splash on bottle like my casablanca mini?
the review sounds real good, i like me my earthy notes. ideally i'll try both salaam's and perfumecraft's oakmoss. i just hope perfumecract comes back, i emailed him at the start of the month and still no response. but i'm pretty sure his website got revamped, last time i checked it was all in polish and not english. also says in the banner he's on vacation but no clue since when that's there.
i also want to try stirling soap's oakmoss as they supposedly use real oakmoss. but i'm more interested in trying more of salaam's stuff for now

>>17725323
>did minis in the box all came in a splash on bottle like my casablanca mini?
Unfortunately. I also hate this. I think spray bottles start at 22ml.
>oakmoss frags
Take a look here: >>17723078 From those I can recommend: Coven, Rogue MI and CS, Evernia, Etruscan Water, Dryad if you want to get the best oakmoss punch for the ml. And they should be more available for testing than Abdes or Perfumecraft.

>>17725323
Btw how is his castoreum? More on the skanky or leathery side of things? It's just castoreum paste diluted in perfumers alcohol?

>>17725323
>it was all in polish and not english.
i'm retarded, had auto translate on
>>17725328
a shame about the bottles. i decanted my 5ml casablanca into one of my own bottles but it's a bit of a waste. the castoreum has a plastic insert that makes dabbing it on easier, i don't mind that.
i've tried etrsucan water and coven from the list, both were good but i didn't have the desire to get full bottles. i'll take a look at the others soon. but did you try varen by stirling soap? people say it's real good for the price and they supposedly use real oakmoss.
>>17725329
i'd say more on the leathery side but it got the very distinct animal smell to it. not fecal at all though. surprisingly deep, write a review tomorrow or so. yes it's just a tincture

>>17725359
>varen by stirling soap
It sounds interesting but I'm based in Europe, will order it next time I visit the US
>write a review tomorrow or so
please do

Cop or not? I think I may be done with fougeres for the foreseeable future.
