>Can I wear a fragrance made for the opposite sex?
(Trans)Gendering of fragrances has more to do with marketing than anything else. Ultimately you can wear whatever you like.

You are literally giving dangerous advice that will get innocent people killed. Change this stupid shit, it literally has nothing to do with fragrance wearing. IT IS TERRIBLE ADVICE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ACTUAL FRAGRANCES. You are either baiting people or just a complete fucking asshole. I can't wait for the 2024 election to make transgender ideology completely fucking illegal.

what does that pine forest stuff smell like

SOTD NYI
initially i wanted to wear kouros (the king) today but after applying pinaue special reserve (few...) as an after shave i felt like this super dry, smokey and leathery smell will work better with NYI

can you get that pine stuff on amazon or walmart the rest of those look like cheap garbage you can get at CVS

Can there still be some money made flipping fragrances? I know that Areej Le Dore and Slumberhouse were typically good investments, but Russian Adam seemingly lost the plot with the newest lines and also scaled up, and his fragrances are no longer released in mini-batches, bumping up the prices. Josh from Slumberhouse is presumably dead. What are the other highly collective niche brands?

>>17728168
>>17728172
My best pine fragrances are the holy trinity:
Duftanker Pine Forest, Murkwood and Wald
Pine Forest smell like dry woods with green resins. Very authentic, but it's discontinued. Murkwood and Wald are good substitutes.
>>17728234
His Highness green is an everything metal bottle. I highly doubt that any of your fragrances can compete. Post your collection.

>>17728254
duftanker is fucking weird, they only do bespoke perfumes now

>>17728254
>Duftanker
So it is like an overpriced Ormonde Jayne done in some German basement?

>>17728290
>Ormonde Jayne
OJ is more fresh, masspleasing, slightly grassy green. Duftanker is similar to Murkwood or Wald, but more dry Cedar. Imagine a dense, ambery, balsamic green, dry cedar scent.

>>17728294
>Duftanker is similar to Murkwood
So like a poor man's version of Norne?

does anyone know what happend to this homosexual?

>>17728155
At first I was like "eww" after noticing some Montale but actually you did good. Full incense is one of the reasonable releases from this shit house. I rate breddy good/10

Aren't there any collectable Bortnikoffs?

>>17728328
The old bottles maybe.

>>17728245
The history of Oud collection had some extremely low production numbers on a few of them, History of Kinam Oud was like 50 bottles. I picked up the cheaper Indonesian Oud and it smells amazing.

Fragrance noob here. I've seen glowing reviews for Layton but it sounds like it's too sweet for summer.
I was thinking Parfums Vintage Emperor for summer since it seems to be the best aventus clone out there.

Also what's the final veredict on pic related?

>>17728361
>The history of Oud collection had some extremely low production numbers on a few of them, History of Kinam Oud was like 50 bottle
But was it worth it? You seem to be knowledgeable about the topic, so tell me what are other collectible oud/attar producers Westernized enough, so I don't have to translate Arab runes with ChatGPT just to know where to click buy? Dixit&Zak? Feel Oud? How about Sultan Pasha Attars? What is the current hottest brand like ALD used to be 3+ years ago? I have heard about Rasei & Fort releasing some very limited oud blend.
>>17728371
Stay away from Parfus de Marly. These are just overpriced clones. Parfums Vintage is indeed producing the best clones, but these are still clones. How about you get for example the pic related. It's a critically acclaimed modern versatile scent that caused an earthquake in the perfume world by how unique & wearable it is.

nigger thread

threadly reminder to don't reply to the anit-chart tranny because this is how it ends up. "she" doesn't know anything about fragrances anyway and just wants to start fights

>>17728396
I already impulsively bought it last week. Just needed some confirmation that it didn't suck because it shocked me at first sniff.
What's so bad about clones anyway? They still smell good.

How about pic related for winter then. The fragrance nigger on youtube hyped it a lot.

>>17728411
these are all posts by the chart tranny

>>17728416
It's a great fragrance, congratulations on your purchase.
>What's so bad about clones anyway? They still smell good.
If it was a 20:80 thing then great, but these days most of the talked clones cost about the same as original frags, and they are not 80% close. For me personally, life is too short to smell 80% good if I can smell 100% good without feeling tacky for wearing a scent equivalent of a fake Gucci belt.

>>17728396
The History of Indonesian Oud bottle is decently priced for what it is, you can still buy bottles from Areej. The others were pretty ridiculously priced. The Kinam Oud bottles were like 800usd or something like that. I doubt you'd be able to make much money on them. Feel Oud is just Russian Adam and Bortnikoff working together, their latest releases apparently had a bit of a mixed reception but I still want to try out Oud Balsam.

>>17728254
>Murkwood
cheers bro i'll give that one a try

>>17728155
>Pineward
I've tried like 10 of his scents, and everything other than his Norne-clone spiel he copied from Josh is subpar in my opinion.

is the guy who was frantically searching for mint frags still around?

>>17728427
It also seems that all of his perfumes (not attars) from the latest line are still available. The hype about ALD is gone? What are those nerds crazy about these days?

>>17728481
Yes if you mean me, but I asked about that here more than a year ago at this point.

>>17728567
nah was more recently. in any case try oriental mint by phaedon, most realistic mint note i've smelled yet. sadly the top note doesn't last long

>>17728148
>He doesn't wear aromatics

>>17728578
Will do, thanks.

is the chart tranny finally gone? I can post about chad frags again? In that case. Dior Homme Sport 2021 is the frag for you. Nichefags will become angry at this because they know deep down only real chads wear sport frags (40 sprays) and they will never have the confidence to do so.

>>17728371
Ganymede is a great frag, but Bois Imperial is half the price and quite frankly easier to wear imho. It’s about 90% on par with Ganymede, made with ingredients of the same niche quality.

Considering getting Dior Homme Intense when I go through duty free on Wednesday

This, what a faggotry brand. Every fragrance are clones, marketed as niche.

>>17728690
Ganymede and BI are 90% similar unironically.

Wow colour me shocked

what frags smell like a muscled hairy male chest

>>17728371

it's a good fragrance, I just don't want to be associated with the spammed trollposts of yesteryear

>>17728371
If you are a noob don't fucking blind buy. Ganymede is a weird frag, to me it smells like a moldy basement.

>>17728723
if you don't seem friendly and approachable, you will never get complimets. complimens are a meme

>>17728723
Most of the time people actually ask what someone they know thinks of their fragrance and are then complimented on it, but they leave that out.
They aren't getting compliments from strangers.

>>17728744
Seethe

>>17728729
Terre d'Hermes is the #1 frag that is well received by men and not at all well received by women. Ain't your fault.

>>17728740
And wasn't that his point because it gives a reference point this way?

>>17728752
No, these kinds of solicited questions don't count as compliments by any sane person. I have got plenty of compliments, including strangers. You just have to be attractive.

What are some good masculine frags with strong projection?

>>17728769
You think people who say that they got complimented 6 times in a day aren't soliciting compliments?
I'm not saying it doesn't happen I just think most of them time people are soliciting them.
And people use a compliment on cologne as an opener they already had a different reason for wanting to talk to you.

the /fa/ mod has to be the biggest nigger from reddit on all of 4chan and im sure nobody loves him (yes he will never be a woman)

>>17728771
Who's claiming that he got complimented 6 times in a day? The most I got was probably 3 or 4 on the same night. One time with Bois Imperial and the other time with LDDM.
>And people use a compliment on cologne as an opener they already had a different reason for wanting to talk to you.
What do you consider a valid compliment, then? When someone is smelling you blindfolded in a lab? There's always some attraction to any compliment from the opposite sex.

>What do you consider a valid compliment, then? When someone is smelling you blindfolded in a lab? There's always some attraction to any compliment from the opposite sex.
I'm not saying it isn't valid but you could be wearing old spice and they'd compliment you on it if they like you.
You can't buy your way into compliments with colognes.

>>17728777

>I'm not saying it isn't valid but you could be wearing old spice and they'd compliment you on it if they like you.
>You can't buy your way into compliments with colognes.
Nonsense. I've been called hot by women many, many times. This doesn't change the vastly different reception of some fragrances I own. None of them had anything good to say about, for example MEM (they even complained about it), but there are certain frags that virtually all of them were going crazy about.

>>17728772
MEM

>>17728772
Bogart Story blue

>>17728723
>I have never been complimented on my scent
So? Stop looking for compliments. Compliments from strangers are usually rare or non-existent (at least where I live).

>>17728723
The only time I ever received compliments were when I was wearing normcore stuff because I just wanted to throw something on
>CK One (the young Mexican nurse at the blood donation place)
>Dior Sauvage Elixer (some Zoomie girl in Daiso went up to me in front of the dude she was with to say I smelled good and ask me what my cologne was)
>YSL Y (multiple people, all men though)

Out of all fragrances my gf likes 1 million the most. 1 million is the best fragrance

>>17728723
Not even memeing. Do you guys ever get complimented for wearing a fragance? I'm not the typical "hurrr durrr I want to smell good to myself" but I wear a fragance mostly because I LIKE the smell. Like, how do you even get a compliment? A stranger just approacheas to you, sniffs your neck and tells you how they want to follow you around?

mods = niggers

obnoxiously nuclear, you'll smell it in the room after spraying for hours, and it'll stick to your clothes even after washing

smells good but one spray is more than enough

Alright, the hiatus is over and I've got a double feature today.
Whispered Myths is by far the most masculine fragrance in the entire Imaginary Authors lineup. The cedar and oud is cut nicely by the barest hint of honey, and I didn't get the fecal smell I was warned about from some oud scents which is great. Dark, musky, and intense, I had 3 sprays last a full 16 hours. An older woman (60ish?) at the grocery store walked up to me and said I smelled nice, which felt nice but is not my target demographic, but I figured I'd mention that given some other posts in the thread. Overall I am incredibly surprised by how good this fragrance is.
O, Unknown is the most gimmicky fragrance even when compared to "literal ice cream cone" and "burnt match", between the two different tea notes and the audacity of putting "???" in the marketing. This invites questions of "Why not make the whole thing unknown? The mystery air head of perfume? What's the point?" which I haven't found a decent answer to. Smells nice though, smoked tea and sandalwood, very oriental, very rich. Performance was mediocre, 4 hours with 3 sprays, a decent fragrance but nothing more, and having a goofy "mystery ingredient" doesn't make it better.
Coming up on the end now, only 4 scents left. I'm wondering what sample set I'll buy when I'm done with this. Recommendations are appreciated, I'm considering BeauFort or Essential Parfums at the moment.

thoughts on picrel? The note breakdown really does make me intrigued. Ozonic aquatic + Smokey, leathery patchouli blended by Quentin Bisch can’t be bad, can it?

the stranger thing almost never occurs, to me or anyone I know. although I get complimented quite often (even when I only wore STR8 Ahead for YEARS), most my compliments come from friends or acquiantances. very often I want to compliment and ask what someone is wearing in public but too afraid to do so. should start doing it more ofen however, but I do ask when I like some of my friend's fragrances ofc.

has anyone here tried picrel? Thinking about blind buying a tester from jomashop for 60$. I like the original quite a bit but it seems very different

>>17729140
no one has ever tried terre d’hermes, you are the first person to have ever mentioned it in this thread.

>>17729142
is that so? guess ill post back once I test it

>>17729163
yeah it’s actually super obscure and nobody’s ever heard of it. sorry bro.

>>17729165

>>17729169

does the bottle/liquid color correlate with the clothes color that would go well with it? It's probably random, but I'm sure there is a reason behind the color coding

>>17728371
I bought a sample. Here's my notes on it:
"conceptual" rather than emulating nature. Opening similar to freshly poured wet concrete. Opens up later into an oceanic white floral as the earthy notes slowly dissipate. Very strong staged scent. Full day+ with 2 sprays.

SOTD: Guerlain L’Homme Ideal EdP
I can't get over how great and masculine this smells. I thought it would be fem with the cherries, but it immediately going into a cooling thinly sweet masculine vibe. It's so easy to wear. I just wish there was more woodiness to the base.

>>17729217
hard to justify buying this over the 3 excellent masculines jean paul made that are still in production, and the 4th that is unfortunately discontinued

>>17728945
have you ever smelled real oud? sounds a lot like the usual designer fake oud note desu senpai.
get one or two of the tauer sample sets next

it is 24 hours since i sprayed the current mitsouko EDP and i can still smell it as a skin scent, and as advertised the best part of it was several hours in when the heavy top notes lifted and gave this wonderful bitter resinous peach scent. thierry wasser really did a fantastic job nailing both the notes and their linear progression over time, a miraculous feat in the age of IFRA tyranny.

What the fuck is wrong with you stupid, spineless zoomer faggots and your obsession with compliments?
Let's ignore the fact that you personally are too ugly both in body and spirit to get compliments for anything. We're going to do something wild and difficult, it's called thinking about other people besides ourselves. I know, I know, it is crazy and you've never done it, but bear with me.

1: How many times have you seen your friends received compliments on their fragrance or clothing? Or more realistically how many times have you seen people in public places receive compliments from stranger?
2: How many times have *you* complimented someone on their fragrance? What's that? You expect other people to engage in behavior you don't, and you base purchases on this delusion? Wow, very cool.

Tldr You're a fucking faggot, buy shit you like, shut the fuck up about compliments. If a a woman you don't know and aren't about to fuck compliments you on anything fashion related, she views you as a faggot at worst and harmlessly not sexual at best. This isn't true for women once you actually date them but you have no experience with that so that's a topic for another day.

Often by friends, never by strangers. Only ever got any reaction by a stranger once. Went out and walked past a cute zoomer chick, she made a very obvious dry retch noise. The fragrance? Lalique Pour Homme Lion, 40 sprays. It was that moment when I realized that I truly have stopped giving a fuck about what other people think.

Personally hate it, smells like a pine tree and doesn't last. But I don't want to discourage you from trying it since you may like it

>>17729257
everything I've bought has marketed itself as "natural oud" so I just kinda assumed it's real. Never even thought about synthetic copies, thanks for the input.
I'm noticing quite a few different sample sets for Tauer, I know 02 gets a lot of traction but I was wondering if there were any other Tauer scents that particularly impress you. Speaking on oud once more, I'm wondering if it's worth trying Tauer's oud fragrance to compare, or if I'm better off with someone else for that.

>>17729517

LDDM, ACDD, sundowner, lonestar memories and LADAS are generally liked. if you've got the shekels just buy the ones that sound interesting
as for oud, someone here said that tauer's oud is nasty. no clue where you should start, maybe with ALD the history of indonesian oud. i myself only own a cheapo swiss arabian oud attar, but it's really good for the price and some guys who smelled really a lot of expensive oud rate it highly.

>>17729535
>>17729596
There are at least 2 people in here now who think L'Oudh is horrible, since I'm one of them and another anon recently said so as well.
It shouldn't be something you sample unless you want to smell stuff that's really "out there".

>>17729604
I am the other anon, got the sample the other day. It doesnt smell like any other oud I've ever tried , it smells like stagnant water and putrid undergrowth. Zero aninmalistic in my nose.

In any case, some of my friends tried it and it was surprisingly well received by a couple of them

>>17729535
LDDM, ACDD, LADAS, Sundowner are all great (probably in this order)
Tauer's l'Oudh is self-admittedly "naturalistic", which means it is definitely "out there" and smells a bit like a barnyard

SOTD: Sultan Pasha Attars Aurum d'Angkhor. £400 for 3ml, but hell it is worth the price. For a long time, I haven't something as complex and smoothly blended as this CPO. Oud base comes from the famous Ensar Oud's Encens d'Angkor oud base, but there is so much more to it than the oud complexities (it's barnyardy in the opening but soon after becomes more leathery with a hint of blue cheese). The bright floral rose+jasmine whirling in the opening is spectacular. There are saffron and spicy-resinous facets to it buzzing in the background, making it very warm and welcoming. The best thing is that it's really masterfully blended and doesn't become one of these indistinguishable vaguely "arab-feeling" concoctions like many cheaper CPOs. Good stuff. I think we should create some attar/CPO guide akin >>17728226 >>17728227 and other charts.

>>17729677
Take it a bit slower, cowboy, and stay away from buying full bottles for the time being. Instead, try to smell as many frags as possible and buy samples/decants. Charts should help you with that. Your collection tells me that you're a bit confused, relatively new to this hobby, and also on a budget. My advice will save you lots of money, as I'm 100% sure you'll be looking to sell at least 3 of the bottles from your pic in the next 6-12mos.

yeah no one has ever smelled terre d’hermes flankers ever for sure

So what process do you guys use for getting new fragrances? Find something interesting online, sample it, see if you like it, then buy it?

>>17729783
find something interesting online or in books, harass sales clerks (mostly women) until i find it, sample it, and if the perfume slots into my collection well enough for one reason or another, buy it. i don’t mind making an exception for cheap or historically important perfumes and skipping straight to blind buying.

>>17729783
Basically, though blind buying isn't unheard of. Going to a perfume shop or the storefront of a brand you like is generally worth the trip but I still like to do my research beforehand.

>>17729769
Just take an L. I even didn't know that there's such a flanker out there, and the notes look definitely interesting.
>>17729783
Read a lot, sample or smell at a store, get a 3,5 or 10ml decant, and only then buy a bottle after finishing up a decant. For decants, look up parfumo or your local fragrance facebook groups. People often are making them at the same price as their full bottle purchases, so you get the best of both worlds: price per ml as if you bought a full bottle, only a few ml to go through to test if you like the scent or not. Thanks to that, you will also have a quite varied selection of fragrances to choose from at any time. In my case, 95% of scents are not passing past the decant stage, and those that I'm buying after testing thoroughly first are indeed full bottle worthy for me. But that's me. I just hate hoarding and the feeling of looking of nearly full bottles at my shelf that I have really no intention of wearing any more.

Newfag here, test smelled some fragrance but only found Cool Water and Encre Noire + extreme + sports in said store for the single $ price range in the groups 101 chart, ended up liking the normal Encre Noire the most and bought that.
I'll use it for everyday application for now, not sure if it'll pan out well or not.
There were lots of different named perfumes I smelled, they were all nice and cool in different ways but I didn't find any that I really really liked a lot, I did find out what I hated though.
Is there a universal fragrance that can be used for every situation? I feel the Encre Noire could be used for any situation but I may be wrong. I want to explore other options once this one runs out.
>mid 20s
>any season/climate
>low-mid price range if possible
>I like Encre Noire's smell, I think I like woody smell? Hated how cool water smell reminds me of tropical beaches, hated fragrance that smelled like literal dessert food, don't like strong citrus/fruity smell.
>Smart casual/semi-formal for work or being outside for more than 1 hour, casual t-shirt + pants/jeans if for short trips (buying breakfast/lunch/dinner and immediately going home on weekends etc)

>>17729798
Encre Noire is a very solid baby-first "niche" scent that many (including me) have started with. Good job. If you like woody smells but want something more versatile try Essential Parfums Bois Imperial. Get a sample set from them first. This way you will be able to test 7 of their scents, and the money you spend on the sample set can be redeemed when buying a full bottle if BI (or any other of their frags) clicks with you. This way you can test 7 different fragrances basically for free.

>>17729794

anon who posted the pic of the TdH flanker, allegedly, it is far superior to Tres Fraiche in every way. Everyone who’s reviewed it says it’s arguably their favorite summer/fresh release of the entire year. I’ll prob blind buy because I love TdH, but based on what I’ve seen it’s definitely worth sampling. Photorealistic Citron that transforms into an effervescent timur pepper note (one of the main ingredients in Bois Imperial dry down)

You have two options, spray so much that you can smell it too, or wear a little bit so it's subtle for other people. But to be fair the best part of using a fragrance is so you can enjoy it too, the other half is just to smell better to others

Also this man. If one can be a perfume genius, he's a one.

now that we aren't in faggot mode anymore: la vie del profumo casablanca
3 notes: Jasmine, cigarette and oriental resins. quite simple and i was a bit worried about the cigarette note but i wanted to give it a try as i just recently watched the movie (the scent is inspired by the movie, not the city) and this frag has absolutely no reviews.
it starts off with all 3 notes present, but the lovely jasmine is dominant at first. it's not a very meaty jasmine, it feels flowery but refined, not overly sweet. i'm not really able to pick apart the oriental resins and the cigarette, they are very well blended together. but i can say that it's not the rancid cigarette smell from real cigarettes. the oriental resins give it a nice touch of warmth and spice. so all in it's a warm and comfortable jasmine frag that is definitely unisex. by the description this could very well be a shitty , cheap and generic flowery oriental frag but it's well composed and feels refined/sophisticated; salaam knows what he's doing. i might buy more if there is a 50% sale but at regular prices it's a bit too pricey.
now the million dollar question: is it like ELDO's jasmine et cigarette? no clue never tried it lol. but looking at the reviews for jasmine et cigarette they don't seem similar at all, apart from the notes. however, the late drydown smelled very similar but i couldn't put my finger on it. after some time it hit me, it smells like parts of thr base notes of aramis new havana. how or why? no clue.

>>17730174
>>17730176

>>17730176
>la vie del profumo casablanca
Hello Abdesanon, what a coincidence that I've just mentioned Dubrana right above your post. A funny fact about jasmine is that it was a very prevalent note in 30s-70s for a very simple reason: French have figured out that it goes very well with cigarette smoke. Thus for example; ELDO Jasmine et Cigarette, paying homage to all great jasmine frags of that times. My favourite rendition of this subgenre is probably an all-natural composition by Anna Zworykina - Petals & Ashes.

>>17730176
>is it like ELDO's jasmine et cigarette
Funny thing is that I mentioned it in my post above before I noticed your questions. A collective /frag/ conscious I guess lol. ELDO is good but nothing like Abdes (or Zworykina). It's a toy exercise on waxy, synthetic (but quite good) recreation of the jasmine note. However, I think it would be a valuable exercise to compare it with Casablanca hand in hand to appreciate the latter even more. Dubrana is autistic about the quality of his natural ingredients, so this way you could see all the differences between natural and synthetic jasmine recreation.

>>17730110

abdeshivemind... i didn't know about the historic significance of that combination, interesting. but where the fuck do you even get anna zorikyna frags from?
i was mainly wondering about the ELDO because abdes has "jasmine et cigarette" in the english description, but i guess that's more a hommage to thr french in general.
i don't remember if i asked but what other fragrances did you try from him aside from oakmoss and taliban flower?

>>17730306

>but where the fuck do you even get anna zorikyna frags from?
Etsy but it seems that she bumped prices recently. I wasn't paying 10EUR per ml. However, instead of blind buying a bottle, I would recommend getting some of her sample sets. There are a few that could interest you, and I'm happy to help as I've had tested or owned around 30 of her frags.
> what other fragrances did you try from him aside from oakmoss and taliban flower?
From top of my head:
Mecca Balsam,Milano Café, Hindu Kush, Tabac, OakMoss, Sensemilla, Jasmine Shehrazade, Palermo Don Corleone, Taliban Flower

i kneel. but i'll be honest with you, i won't buy anything from her anytime soon. there are a lot of other things i want to buy/try that aren't so obscenely expensive, but i appreciate the thought.

My notes:
>A great, spacious black pepper + sharp incense opening. I think there is some elemi that I love there too because I'm getting slightly citric nuances but it might be ginger. After the opening it's nicely spicy and dry-woody (cedar I guess). It gets sweeter and mossier 15min after spraying. Austere and pleasantly outdoorsy.

>>17730437

Im about to blind buy this cheapie

>>17730584
it's a good one

>>17730584
it's nice. it's aquatic and spiced with a prominent coconut note to give it some sweetness and balance out the spices. Very easy to weak, but the performance isn't great. Plus its inexpensive so it's an easy buy

>>17729212
I love Ganymede, but for me it doesn't evolve much. After eight hours in my skin, smells straight like curry

I have too many full bottles. Should I use 10-15 sprays now?

Never tried Sauvage before, so I'm currently thinking to buy either a 200ml EDT ot a 100ml EDP. However, from what I've read it appears that the newer batches have been reformulated and made weaker in terms of their performance/projection. What should I do?

>>17730690
or a*

>>17730690
>What should I do?
sample it

>>17730690
don't worry about the performance. It's already too strong. You'll realize that once you smell it on your first pajeet. I'd get edt because that's what sauvage is supposed to be. A fresh peppery ambroxan bomb. Adding the sweet star anise shit with the edp makes no sense to me. It's either edt or elixir.

>>17730639
do you want to use them all? Me, I'll sell the ones that I don't need. I'm in a weird corner, I think, where I'll have two or three very similar scents and can't decide which one I prefer. Now apply this to 3-4 categories, kek

Oh well, just dropped a 100ml bottle on the floor and it shattered. Tried to scoop up the liquid with tissues and remove the shards, crap

>>17730777
Checked, nice work butterfingers

>>17730625
oh for me it was very different. I guess this is the kind of thing that's due to skin chemistry. You can try to spray it on clothes rather than skin directly and get it from indirect body heat.

why the fuck would you blind buy a 200ml bottle of a fragrance that you can try in every perfume shop out there? you really want to be stuck with two years worth of a scent you hate?

>>17730584
It's rather sweet, slightly powdery and not aquatic, unlike what somebody else wrote. It has nothing to do with Cool Water. Roma Uomo by the same perfumer is really close to it, in my opinion, and then there are some similarities to Eros by using a similar vanilla accord. Funnily enough, a lot of complaints on fragrantica have been about the "synthetic" opening, despite the fact that it actually uses real mandarin oil. Performance is insane on me, but I bought it really early. I know nothing of a reformulation, though.

>>17730639
Do it. Maybe a little more, even.

Wtf is amber, does that substance even exist?

>>17730463
sounds snice, will try it if i get a sample box. now that you mention it, the similarity to havana might come from the elemi, it's somewhat bright but dull and citric.

no it's psyops

>>17730934
retarded ahh crakkka has never seen insects fossilized in amber

what's his fragrance?

>>17730934
Yes and no. Amber is an abstract smell of, well, amber, and it is your typical resinous-vanillic "oriental" base. It is supposed to mimic the natural ambergris and its complexities, which is a natural smell. Give it a read: https://takeonethingoff.com/blog/2022/02/28/the-attar-guide-ambergris-a-primer/

>>17730941
I will be sure to post about it here for you (if I'm going to stay in /frag/ for that long this time) if I learn about any Abdes' sales. Perhaps he has a mailing list or something? I think I've learned about the sale I bought my frags on from one of the Basenotes threads. There's a subforum there dedicated to sales.
Speaking of elemi, and Zworykina, her Wind From Mount Kailash is the best elemi fragrance I've smelled. Elemi was also the note that I loved so much about Eau Sauvage Parfum 2017.

>>17730988
Probably Azzaro Pour Homme

>>17730639
I have just done it with my Vetiver bottle to finish it. No better feeling than finishing a full bottle.
SOTD: Hiram Green Vetiver. Lot of it.

>>17730990
amber and ambergris aren’t related.

>>17730934
amber is amber, but what's referred to as amber in perfumery is usually the smell of either ambergris or labdanum

>>17730990
>It is supposed to mimic the natural ambergris
it isn't. it's supposed to mimic the smell of burnt amber, which was used as incense.

I took a shower and decided to wear Fume by Henley. It's a rainy summer day here, and it fits the gloomy vibe perfectly. I think I am ready to arrive at the conclusion that I prefer Fume over Norne. The latter is too spicy and heavy on clove. Fume may be less complex but is more woody-coniferous forward.
>>17731012
Amber accord was supposed to recreate the smell of ambergris (a very prominent natural ingredinet). However, the current notion of amber got historically detached (sometime around the "oriental revolution) somewhat from that idea, and instead of salty and other nuances, it rather showcases its warm aspects and very often a big dose of vanilla is added. The amber line of Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier shows these differences quite well. As far as I remember Ambre Dore was more of an ambergris smell and Ambre Precieux and Mythique more of warm, balsamy amber.

>>17731083
I have heard that take before, but it seems that historically it wasn't the case. As a matter of fact, I tried to grate and light up some amber in the past, and it is a hardly fragrant material. What you probably mean is a relatively "fresh" amber, perhaps even collected from a fruit tree. But this is rather a resin and smells like it when used as incense, and is very close from the popularized, abstract "amber" accord used in perfumery.

>>17730994
yeah he has a newsletter, i assume he announces the sales there
i think i read some good things on wind from munt kailash. gotta give it to her, she uses some cool names

>>17731084
>>17731097
dude, your own fucking article talks about amber and ambergris being different materials. please stop making shit up.

>>17731119
I don't want to be that guy writing passive-aggressive about reading comprehension, but I have claimed from the beginning that these are different accords (amber is not a material, really). From the said article:
> Amber in modern perfumery is therefore a fantasy composition – an accord – rather than an actual material. It is an abstract idea of warm, honeyed, sweet, and resinous flavors rendered by a combination of labdanum (rockrose extract), vanilla, benzoin, and sometimes copal resin

what went wrong?

Every Storm A Serenade is a pretty weird fragrance. It's vaguely aquatic, quite grassy, and really salty. It reminds me of seaweed in that regard, and I don't hate it. What I do hate, however, is the "eucalyptus" note, so quoted because it's a piss poor eucalyptus. It gives the whole fragrance a menthol shroud reminiscent of Vicks jelly, which is neither fitting nor enjoyable. If they removed the eucalyptus and kicked up the ambroxan (you can barely tell it's even there), I think I'd really like it. As it stands though, this is a big fucking disappointment for me.

>>17730690
Please bro, just sample it first, from experience blind buying isn't worth having a full bottle of something you never wear

>>17730924
It is aquatic. It has calone.

>Guerlain vetiver
>Guerlain homme
Really Guerlain homme leau boisse and Guerlain vetiver extreme are more similar but are out of production
>givenchy vetyver
Only similar that it’s vetiver but more similar to TF grey vetiver
Really there’s nothing like guerlain vetiver. It’s simply the best.

>>17731255
Lmao, the calone note, almost like glue smelling, is the best thing about Every Storm a Serenade. When the glue-like eucalyptus-calone note dries down it gets similar to Aqua di Sale, generic piss poor aquatics copied million times.
That's why i'm glad that they included the calone twist. In my book a very good aquatic fragrance.

>>17730590

Only if we forget that it lasts about 1h 37min on skin then sure

>>17731459
>Aqua di Sale, generic piss poor aquatics copied million times
AdS smells nothing like calone. That's what distinguishes it from million other calone aquatics.

>>17731466
Never stated it smells like calone, kek. There's calone in ESAS, but when the calone fade it's salty, woody, slightly green, copied million times already, squid, salaria, black sea can't smell this style of aquatic anymore. That's why calone on ESAS is heaven, next to the saltiness.

I don’t have any performance problems with any formulations either. But vintage has a better performing base. The sandalwood really shines in the dry down. But vetiver is a pretty long lasting scent too. Top notes of course go away quickly but they’re nice while they last.

I have the extreme. it's another nice easy to wear coconut-present scent, but this time more airy and green+spiced rather than oceanic like cool water. I have purchased multiple Issey Miyake scents, and they are all very well done designer french perfumery. affordable, easy to wear, linear so the scent stays consistent throughout, but I think this one also lasts less than a day; it's a fairly lightweight scent.

>>17731537
people here meme on PdM despite the majority of them being excellent, but Kalan has a real sharp black-pepper note up top that's going to be a deal-breaker for anyone that isn't a fan of that specific note. My notes on it were "sharp black pepper. earthy. dirty." 100% get a sample before you buy it. I think luckyscent has it for like $5.

Do you guys wear something different every day, or do you have a daily driver?

He’s a 16 year old Indian kid, and he reported all of the pics of him that were just in this thread and another thread that’s now deleted kek. This is him in the reflection of a bottle of bvlgari aqua when he posted his collection earlier hahaahhahaahhahahahahaahhahahahahahahaha

Isn’t Kalan PDM’s take on TdH?

>>17732182
>fuck jannies!!
>they’re such niggers!!
>nooooo you can’t pull my leg or I’ll report you!!!
>btw it’s not me on that picture!! its old, it’s some else!! but please stop reposting it guys or I’ll tell jannies! but it’s totally not me guys haha
someone please go to archives and make a sceeencap of all the replies, some of them were funny

>>17732181
>nichefag
You’re giving the kid too much credit

>>17728971
People either love or hate it

Damn, I made just one joke about him not being a model masculine man on that photo and he reported me deleting like 30 of my posts here hahaha

>>17732187
KEK, yeah I forgot to include that he tried false flagging us into believing that it was an older post because he accidentally posted the selfie hahaahhaah

>>17732187
Didn’t really meant to reply to you bro >>17732182 sorry

In my experience L'Oudh started out 'barnyard' but after a bit it shifted to a more rubbery oud. I enjoy it, even if I only wear it around the house. I recommend getting the sample set with L'Oudh and Vanilla Flash.

>>17732181
never stop posting his pics

going to seapag countries
what cheapies should I bring/buy

>>17732182
When i smell Kalan I do not think TdH at all. It does not have any stone/flint forward rockiness or any sand/dust notes. It is citrus and pepper with a backing of (and this is what everyone on fragrantica says correctly) Baccarat Rouge. It's like men's Peppery BR540. I appreciate this scent, and I would say it's actually very unique interesting and daring.

>>17732289

>unique, interesting and daring
the world must be such a wonderful place when you’re this sheltered.

>>17732368
Have you smelled Kalan

>>17732372
you must tell us what it’s like living under a rock, we all want to know.

>>17732373
I've never smelled it, but you seem to have, so what does it smell like

>>17732374
well it’s a bit hard to smell anything when you refuse to leave your home of stone, isn’t it?

>>17732382
but im asking you anon and you keep dodging, it sounds like you posted an opinion without really knowing, thats interesting. its almost like youre living under the rock ya faggot

>>17732387
>it sounds like you posted an opinion without really knowing
you mean the thing you just admitted to doing 1 minute ago? rofl

>>17732388
i also didnt post an opinion about it, theres a difference brainlet

>>17732393
you did right here? >>17732289
even if that’s not you, guess what, i haven’t made any statements on how it smells, i just mocked the first poster for living under a rock. sorry to say but your little mind game isn’t as easy to play as you think it is.

>>17732397
It isnt me, but you posted this>>17732368 how do you know its not interesting if you've never smelt it? Sounds like I caught you being a pretentious faggot who also lives under a rock

>>17732401
whoever said anything about the perfume being interesting or not interesting? sounds like you’re reading something that’s not there. you must be dying to persecute somebody if you’re grasping at straws this badly.

>>17732406
you quoted
>>PdM
>unique, interesting and daring

the world must be such a wonderful place when you’re this sheltered.
and then wrote the above

you replied to his statement on it being interesting. you really are a brainlet eh

imagine commenting on frags youve never smelt

lmao even

>>17732408
i quoted someone and then made a generic statement on people who live under rocks. i see no connection to perfume. sorry, but this just isn’t working the way you want it to.
>>17732410
why doublepost?

>>17732412
You responded to his statement on it being interesting, saying" this isn't working" doesnt make you win an arguement anon. you got caught not knowing a smell and commenting on it because you are pretentious, now you're backtracking on "i was just saying a generic statement". It's time to stop posting bro

>>17732417
i responded by making a comment on people who live under rocks. no connection to perfume, my friend. it must be upsetting not having this argument work out the way you wish it did in your head.

>>17732419
>no connection to perfume

Thanks for your irrelevant comment not about perfume despite being in /frag/ replying to someone talking about perfume. It is working, I got you, and repeatedly saying "this isn't working", is what's not working boyo

>>17732424
trust me, an offhand comment about living under a rock is the least of this general’s worries. go figure out how to deal with the guy who keeps spamming cuckold porn first.
>he conceded that i wasn’t actually talking about perfume to begin with
roflmao, you suck at this

>>17732431
hat's not conceding, its sarcasm, an absurd comment on how you were not in any way talking about perfume despite the obvious evidence. You really are a brainlet

>>17732434
>obvious evidence
roflmao

>>17732439
Have a good night anon :)

>>17732440
evidence so obvious that all you can do is scream accusations while failing to prove a single thing. you sleep tight, amerimutt.

Who got banned this time?

>>17732526
anti-chart schizo

>>17732549
Oh, again. Understandable.

How do you politely, yet firmly, explain to Jeremy that you don't need his bottled aids because you already got it?

Just ran out of my Versace pour homme and am looking for something new to try. The Versace was my first fragrance and I really liked it. Any recommendations on what to try next?

tranny janny it up

>>17732824
The entire store selection. Seriously, just go and smell some things and figure it out yourself. There's nothing to recommend with that information other than another bottle of VPH.

>>17732824
dior homme sport is pretty good if you like the zingy citrus top notes but want something with a bit more going on and better longevity

>>17730430
Try Hemingway 1899 by HdP. Its a more mature and refined Spicebomb.

Hello Fragrance General, I’m looking for a fragrance that would suit me. I’m a young, Indian guy spending unhealthy amounts of time online. What fragrance get me a (white pls) gf?

>>17732867
good afternoon wop

>>17732872
>a twiggy 16yo kid collecting le epic vintage masculines is calling you a wop
kek only in this thread

>>17732945
so true wop

This kid keeps reporting all of the posts of picrel, and even got me banned for “spamming/flooding” when I posted it one time kek. He is so mad, just wait until he finds out getting someone actually banned is much harder than he originally thought. 16 year old Indian Schizo is actually the funniest poster here jej

>>17733000
>16 year old Indian Schizo is actually the funniest poster here jej
digits confirm

any of you fags tested the 2022 version of pour un homme? and i don't mean the reformulation but the proper new version in a new bottle and all

>>17733016
There is no 2022 pour un homme, only these 2 flankers. Or atleast I can’t find it anywhere.

The stars have aligned, the masculine vintage fag has been btfo by one of his own favorite houses. This review says their new flanker smells like Dior Homme Sport which he was shitting on yesterday HAHAHAHAHAAHAH

>>17733000
>>17733006
both me btw

>>17733029
u mad? The first one was me, not you. I have the original pic if you’d like me to post it, Schizo

>>17733028
>>17733031
also me btw

>>17733016
I have a 2ml sample of it. What do you want to know?

this post is me as well

>>17733045
so true wop

>>17733028
another review saying the new Caron flanker smells like Dior Homme Sport. Absolutely btfo

SOTD: TRNP Portrait of a Jaco. What a great, zesty, resinous scent. I'm surprised it is all natural.
>>17733000
I've been laughing at it while recalling all the kid's posturing here since yesterday. My tangentially related but honest and well-meant advice (as a hardcore nichefag): if you're below 20 then grab a bottle of Sauvage or Bois Imperial, leave this thread, and just focus on developing some social skills and girls, otherwise you'll end up as that kid. There'll be a time and place in your life for incorporating some classically masculine and vintage fragrances at some point, but sure as fuck not while being a teenager.

>>17733048
this post is also me, forgot to include it sorry

>>17733047
>wop
even if I was Italian atleast I wouldn’t be a teenage poo

>>17733050
>>17733053
these posts too are me

It’s over, Caron has officially gone mainstream. Why did they do this to us classic masculine niche frag bros?

>>17733048
Give him a break already. It's clear that he's been having a nervous breakdown since yesterday. That being said, I'm curious what his parents would have to tell about him spamming a fragrance general on a 4chan's fashion board with some cuckold and fetishist porn while calling everyone names.

>>17733055
i forgot to mentioned that this post is also me

>>17733050
This, if I were the Schizo poo I would simply wear Bogart One Man Show (40 sprays) and call it a day

>>17733057
>>17733059
and did i mention this post is me too? this post is also me too.

>>17733057
he’s slid every thread and created thread wars for weeks now, I’d say it’s well warranted. They probably already know, that’s why he’s relegated to posting on 4chan.

>>17733063
and i also made this post. im such a good poster.

>>17733065
>I am such a good poster
I agree, you should take another picture of your collection and really focus in on the bvlgari aqua bottle. I want to see what year it was made.

>>17733063
>>17733057
Do you remember the part when he was claiming that he's an oldfag since he's been on 4chan since 2007? The image of him shitposting here as a three months old baby really amuses me.

>>17733071
>>17733072
i also made these posts. incredible stuff.

>>17733072
Yeah he’s a liar, he also doesn’t wear vintage guerlains nor has tried any designers he said are shit. Many such cases.
