how to make fragrance last longer? i frel like i have to keep reapply mine
its chanel egoiste platinum edt

>>17774705
Try using Iris essential oil to moisturise the skin before applying. It won't affect the scent seeing as Platinum Egoiste is already an iris forward composition.

>>17774696
garbage as always
>>17774705
i can assure you that no one around you wants to smell platinum egoiste for longer than necessary

>>17774699
Yes, the charts should be updated.

Daily reminder

>But the name "chypre" (chypvra etc), apart from any geographical connotations, had travelled in aromatic stanzas throughout the Middle Ages, Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment thanks to the vigorous commerce of the enterprising Cypriots who dabbled in a feminine product with an added scent: their famous "Cipria" powder, a cosmetic face powder -presented by various different local "houses"- which was further aromatized with the cypriot aromatic blends they had excelled at for centuries (And which, by all accounts, judging by the later specimens circulating into the 20th century, smelled not far off what we consider a chypre fragrance today!)


Chypre fragrances smell like old makeup confirmed . Die in a fire noselets

My favourite Slumberhouse by far. It's a pity that Josh Lobb is a faggot making it almost impossible to obtain and my bottle of Narnia is almost done. I have looked for many replacements but haven't found anything that would get close to that dark-woody vibe that it has.

>>17774724
Iris is the predominant note.

Can you recommend a cyprus with iris?

>>17774728
I think you are confusing cypresses (fr. Chypres) with fougeres (eng. ferns). Chypre genre of fragrances stands for fougeres with sweet, vanillic iris added to the base. See for example L'Attesa by Masque Milano

What fragance should I stick to if I'm a poorfag in tropical jungle weather? Zara vibrant leather smells "classy" but too generic, I have also tried Nautica voyage but it lasts only like 30 min. Thinking of getting Encre noire sport next for something more "unique" but suitable for this weather and within my budget. Any other ideas?

>>17774734
>L'Attesa by Masque Milano
That's not the best example, anon. It contains three of four crucial parts of a chypre (iris, oakmoss, bergamot) but there's no labdanum in it.

>>17774722
i have this and you can really notice the powdery notes, bought it by mistake honestly and i dont use it because it smells so official

Isn’t the iris root a smart substitute for labdanum?

>>17774740
I never thought about this way but I think you are right. Both are similar resins, but orris root (also called "butter") is a flower resin. I think this way bergamo-iris-orris root-oakmoss can be thought of as a chypre.

>>17774739
I agree that it is quite powdery and formal. I wonder if the EDT is significantly fresher
also, it unironically does have both vanilla and iris in the drydown, lmao. how topical!

>>17774745
With of course the oakmoss providing the powdery base so emblematic of the chypre style

>>17774747
>have both vanilla and iris in the drydown, lmao. how topical
Yeah retard, you just learned what a chypre is. That's one of the most popular types of colognes. Bravo.

>>17774486
got suggested grey flannel (own it), equipage (might not be available for sampling), Guerlain vetiver (will sample).
thought about it some more and imagined bergamotte and green tea (earl grey), maybe some woodsy and smokey notes, not sure about cardamom. some horselike musk could make sense too.

So how the fuck Bois Imperial can be called a chypre (whatever it is) if it doesn't contain any powdery notes?

>>17774750
if you want smell like a plain old dandy, just say so. habit rouge, mouchoir de monsieur and pour un homme should be relevant to you.

>>17774750
that basically describes guerlain vetiver

>>17774750
If you want to experiment a bit with more feminine smelling fragrances then get Guerlain Vetiver like this anon >>17774755 says. I'm on my second bottle. Love it wearing on dates

>>17774750
although, cardamom and smoky woods basically describes equipage. less so tea and bergamot, but you can’t win them all.

>>17774599
why do all black women smell like this?

>>17774750

You’d be surprised at who I am if you believe I’m an Indian teenager.

I dress and look very conservative, imagine mike pence but younger, but also like to get pegged and pissed on by my wife. Is there a fragrance that will reflect this? Something that smells mundane at first but settles down into some eccentric stuff

>>17774841
no one brags about dressing like mike pence, not even ironically

>>17774822
Thats Russian Adam folks, it’s him.

>>17774705
I just got a small bottle on sale as an occasional formal/professional day time frag. Not a classic fougere guy at all but this one is decent for me. It does seem to fade to a skin scent but lingers for quote a while. Maybe spray your clothing and hair?

No no no, we DON'T discuss fragrances this way in the fragrance general.

>>17774955
Yeah it's just a small overlap but suprisingly accurate. I think it's the Rosemary/Iris combo in Lalique having similar vibe to the faux-patrol violet in fahrenheit. To be fair after the opening/mid they go completly separate ways.

>>17774976
Imo BR540 is far worse, but that doesn't keep it from being the most popular shit in this gym. It's foul. Both man and woman btw.

Anyone knows how old this could be? Or if the fragrance has any value? I found it at home , it was from my grandma

>>17775013
it’s just an old bottle of guerlain’s samsara. what exactly are you expecting from it?

>>17775013
It could have some value if it's one of the oldest formulations with vgh.... Trve Mysore sandalwood...
Idk how to ID it though, you'll need to find some guide on that.

>>17775013
I hate that the LVMH jew homogenized all the bottles

>>17775049
not like samsara’s bottle was very pretty in the first place. regardless, if you go to france and shop for the pure parfums, they all come in their respective original bottles.

>>17775015
Nothing I don't know much about guerlain, so I want to know how well regarded it is and what kind of fragrance it is.

I can guess in advance it has an iris drydown, leave that part out

>>17775013
Samsara is a really nice fragrance. I'm guessing if it's one of the OG formulations it could be worth a couple hundred? It's not super rare, but there is a decent amount of demand for vintage Guerlains and vintage sandalwood fragrances.

>>17775052
in-depth review from a trusted source (1/3):

Well isn’t this just a gorgeous perfume? Jean-Paul Guerlain seems to have co-opted the multitude of notes and massive blending of his predecessor Jacques Guerlain and created a lush, creamy, sandalwood-based oriental seemingly an ode to both his Grandfather’s work and the Middle East, which itself inspired many of Jacques’ creations. “Samsara” is sanskrit for the circle of birth and rebirth, signifying the eventual path to Nirvana, and there is little else heavenly as this fragrance. Early formulations of Samsara (1989) are also noted for their heavy use of Mysore sandalwood in the composition, and although no blended Western perfume is really a good reference for the now over-harvested and scarce prized sandalwood variety, Samsara in its original configuration was among some of the richest displays of the note in the base of a Western perfume, making vintage bottles particularly prized by sandalwood fans. Modern Samsara does what it can to achieve the same accord admirably, and is recognizable as the same perfume, but extremely divisive opinions leading to combativeness can happen when discussing Samsara among enthusiasts.

>>17775058
2/3

My review sample hails from an opaque red plastic 3.4oz/100ml eau de parfum example of undetermined age used as a tester for those looking to compare observations. The opening of Samara has a fantastically sharp chypre plume of bergamot, peach, lemon, and galbanum, like a thicker, greener, drier Mitsouko (1919), bridging the fresher aspects of that style with the woody creamy base which follows. Jasmine and rose do their fleshy indolic dance atop orris butter and clean ylang-ylang, with narcissus and violet leading up the chorus and disappearing into the harmony. The sandalwood has already made its presence known even by the heart, but its dryness is passed with coumarin, amber, vanilla, musk, and a touch of animalic benzoin to build up a buttery finish which is the coveted finale of the perfume. The florals are definitely more stern than in Shalimar (1924) and the finish less vanillic, powdery, or like the foundation makeup that often bore a proxy of Guerlinade, but that core house note is still there. I find Samsara perfectly suitable for a dandy but less flamboyant guys won’t want to go near this stuff, as its tune is dead center unisex at best but will most likely read feminine to the average nose.

>>17775049
Didn't someone in the previous thread said that LVMH is not Jewish owned?

>>17775059
3/3

Various concentrations and reformulations to account for price points and the dwindling (then depleted) amounts of Mysore make Samsara impossible to rank on performance, but my EdP example in the red plastic bottle was strong at first, then soft but ever-present for hours and hours afterwards, which is not entirely different from the grandiose wake of fragrance Shalimar leaves, just scaled back further to more-contemporary tolerances. Samsara along with Héritage (1992) would be among the last of the classically-styled Guerlain perfumes made by a member of the Guerlain family given widespread release, and signified the end of an era for the prestigious house that would enter into more trend-focused compositions to keep the boat afloat after the house was sold by the family to LVMH. Samsara is just plain gorgeous for many more reasons than I can fit into a review, but if lovely green citrus and rounded florals over creamy sandalwood and vanilla don’t at least sound a little appealing to you, I’m not entirely sure you’re in the right place. Samsara is best in median temperatures but really is neutral enough to be worn any time, although its character absolutely leans romantic to my nose. Very much worth a sniff in any form, but obviously vintage preferred. Thumbs up!

>>17775060
Jewish mentality I mean

>>17775052
the iris shitposting was tired 2 threads ago and it certainly is no less tired now.

>>17775065
you know, there’s an existing word for the concept you’re thinking of that has no relation to jews. it’s called “greed”.

>>17775013
I’ve got you
http://raidersofthelostscent.blogspot.com/2013/10/how-to-recognize-guerlain-perfumes.html?m=1
Like the other anon said, the older formulations have Mysore sandalwood. Give it a sniff and see if you like it. If it’s an older formulation you probably could get a couple hundred bucks on eBay. But check for yourself. Also let us know what it is when you figure out. (Age/concentration)

>>17775052
tl;dr
it's a very well regarded, old school, classy women's fragrance from the brand that epitomized old school French perfumery. lots of complexity but past the opening it mostly reads as floral-powdery-sandalwood, quite calming. the kind of thing a mature woman would wear to formal occasions, but might read a bit more unisex nowadays as modern womens perfumery doesn't really smell like this anymore.

I actually gave my mom a bottle some time ago

I love how Guerlain is starting to get the love it deserves in this general. For this reason I’m wearing guerlain heritage tonight. Vintage edt with real Mysore sandalwood

>>17774722
can't wait to wear this in the autumn btw. right now it's a bit too hot for the powdery sandalwood vanilla drydown

Got a 0.3ml sample of this from Ecuacion and it's incredibly fucking gorgeous.

Checked the price and it's almost 400 euros for fucking 30ml. I don't want to get into Areej le dore kind of fomo and faggotry , but this might even worth the price .

The three samples I got from prin are not even in fragrantica, so makes me think that once they are gone they are gone. In ecuación you can get 5ml for 60 euros. I just don't really like the decants they use in that store, they are simply not good enough. Will test them these days and report.

By the way , post about it soon, Im working night shift and it's going to be a long night.

>>17775144
well i was spouting bullshit, krissana is limited but he still has 27 bottles and probs a bunch more at retailers https://prinlomros.com/?product=krissana-%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%93%E0%B8%B2
soon will be in a few days at best, it deserves proper testing

also do not use the travel decants from ecuacion in high heat, they will leak quite strongly

>>17775169
To be honest it's a shame, im pretty sure that in a short time the top notes will dissappear from the decants. Also the sprayers are terrible.

Do you know any good high quality decants that I can buy to preserve them better?

>>17774798

>>17775175
i like the unitwist brand ones, i have a bunch in transparent and brown. they have multiple sizes and also roller balls. ironically my first batch were faulty and leaked, rest in piss the initio paragon samples i grifted and decanted into it.
there are also bigger 12ml "pen" decants with a pen clip on them, they're really great too. in which country do you live? if we live in the same one i can post the links
also the plastic decants are really shit, extremely troublesome to open them

>>17775186
I'm from Spain . I cannot find the unitwist ones in Google.

I would also like to buy them to start selling decants, that would be a nice way of being able to make some money out of this shit and keep trying things without getting into the craze of collecting bottles, which sounds quite retarded to me, I already think I have too many

>>17774809
Bros….

>>17775197
no one cares cuh, take it to >>>/soc/

I really like parfum d'empires citruses, but a lot of their other stuff smells very similar. I've noticed that Mal aime and fougere bengal smell almost exactly like Ambre russe and cuir ottoman.

>>17775234
i tried a couple of parfum d’empire stuff at jovoy and it really didn’t stick out to me as much as tauer or even the stuff i tried at nicolai. granted, that may be a bit of an unfair competition

>>17775239
depends which you tried. I like their stuff because its mildly interesting but still modern and wearable. Nicolai is my favorite house by far. I haven't loved Tauer and the dustiness of some of his stuff

>>17775268
i tried azemours and le cri, turin’s favorites. while competently executed, they didn’t grip me or wow me like LADDM or LADAS did, nor were they as outstandingly rich and blended like PdN’s stuff always is.

>>17775206

40 sprays of the most synthetic powerhouse cheapie I can find. Gym frags have luckily not caught on or people got intimidated by my reaction to it (applying lots of heavy shit before going to the gym). Just don't.

That would be the next best option. Straight up DHP. 40 sprays, to the gym.

>>17775111
I've said it before, but I once heavily oversprayed Lalique Lion PH (just kidding, overspraying is impossible) and walked past a zoomer chick and she audibly dry-retched. It was great because I knew I had applied enough. That's it, that's my review of it.

>>17775234
ambre russe is very interesting on my skin and loved wearing my sample, but not enough to get a full bottle. not as smoky as people make it to be. tea note and vodka notes are very nice.
also tried cuir ottoman which I despised. pungent and piercing in a bad way. got that old ambery feel of old-school female perfumery and reminded me of my grandma.
>>17774942
based

>>17775293
I tend to agree. Le Cri (autocorrected to le cringe lol) I like, but I dont quite understand the 5 star rating. Its a nice iris, raspberry, rose frag that smells somewhat juvenile and is fairly linear. Azemour kind of burns out into the hay/oakmoss thing quickly, but its by far the most natural citrus I've ever smelled. LADDM I really dont like at all.

>>17775318
le cri i thought had some very beautiful accords, but i didn’t have all day to examine its development which is what turin raved on about. azemours, like you said, seemed like a very well done representation of an orange, but little more. maybe i’ve just been spoiled by my roudnitskas, but i expect my citrus fragrances to say something more than just representing the fruit as is.
LADDM was stunning to me, i thought tania sanchez’s review was on the money. ACDD seemed slightly worse, like the same thing but more dense and linear.

Opinions on Tonerre? I really like it conceptually and I really enjoy the drydown, but I don't know if i really need a full bottle unless it is to have the entire Beaufort line. I'm not really into collecting, but i really love the house

>>17775329
Pretty limited in when you can wear it, but it is very interesting. I prefer Iron Duke for my gunpowder fix.

>>17775329
ow the edge

>>17775332
Iron duke smells conventionally great on my nose, Tonerre is just conceptually interesting with the smoke and gunpowder blast than then dissappears. But yes, I don't know why I would wear this outside my own house

We were going to her place, fucked get three times. On frag related stories, she said that I smell great and sexy (and not like a shit - perhaps MKK was reformulated). She turned out to be an actress as well on top of a model, so we had a good chat about art in general and I told here about the conceptual nice I’m interested in. I’m just afraid that she wanted me to cum in her every time saying that I shouldn’t worry as she’s on contraception. I’m a simple man so I did, well perhaps I fucked up. Will see. In any case, girls dig Serge Lutens MKK.

>>17775464

Sorry I’m phoneposting in Uber on the way back to my place. MKK is drying down very nicely. I can get mostly spices and ambrette.

I have been using aqua di gio for 15 years now. It’s nice, but I want to branch out. I also like loewe 001, and cavin klein obsession for men.

Acqua di gio is a great classic scent but it doesnt seem to last long. Are there any similar scents with longer sillage?

And what are the opinions of obsession for men? For me its a great winter scent, masculine and warm. Are there any others in this same scent range that you would recommend trying?

I also recently tried Hermes H24. Smells like a salad to me. Anyone else get that too?

>>17775465
proud of you anon, good job!

I hate the iris note in Muscs Koublaï Khan. Other than that it’s a good, vanilla fragrance.

>>17775493
this still isn’t very funny

>>17775478
>And what are the opinions of obsession for men?
it's pretty dated by now, I would only wear it to an 80s theme party and nowhere else
I replaced it with dior sauvage elixir

If I hear again someone saying "if you are not careful this fragrance will wear you and not the other way around!!" I will rape your mom

At some point in this hobby everyone comes to a realization that niche isn't better or worse than designer, they're just different. Decided to treat myself for my birthday, bought a bunch of shit from Jomashop (Dior Homme 2020, AdG Profumo, Sauvage EDT and Parfum, Hacivat, etc). My dumb reach/4 season category is going to be covered for the rest of my life, now I can sit back and grab a couple bottles of more specialized niche frags a year to cover everything. Feels good.

>>17775535
The next step Is hating designer again and going for artisan perfumer shit

>>17775536
I've gone back and forth on this like 4 times. Right now, I'm at I only like self-owned houses that have one perfumer

>>17775478
If you want to keep it aquatic like AdG but with a little more personality:
AdG Profumo if you can find it, or it's replacement AdG Parfum
Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Forever
Ralph Lauren Polo Blue Gold Blend
Issey Miyake Super Majeure
Azarro Chrome Extreme

If you like Loewe, their Solo Line is great, same with their 7 line. Solo Platinum, Solo Atlas, Loewe 7 Plata are all great.

If you like Obsession but want something a little newer and more unique try L'aoccitane Eau Des Baux, has the spice of obsession but with wood instead of musk. They aren't the same but Tauer L'air du dessert marocain stretches the same itch.

>>17775540
no point having a house perfumer if said house perfumer only makes goyslop like demachy does

>>17775536
Nah I've been doing this for about 30 years, I've achieved peace and equilibrium. I've got my work frag daily drivers for each season and niche frags for when I'm off and going to dinner, dates, etc. There's zero reason to hate designer, it would be absurd to make a blanket declaration that all of the great frags are bad because they weren't niche. Especially when the concept of niche wasn't even a thing for most of the 20th century. End of day people should just wear what they like, it's your money, spend it how you want. Find happiness where you can. Don't expect people to dick ride you based on your purchases though.

>>17775546
I just don't find designer fragrances interesting anymore. And if I want to have something that everyone will like, I just don't wear a fragrance that day

>>17775376
Cleaning vinegar in a spray bottle

>>17775566
That cool, just wear what makes you happy man. For me I like certain designers for work days and certain niche frags for when I'm off. I love tobacco, leather and musk but I don't want to go to work in the summer smelling like a sweaty whore in a stable. When I'm off though, hell yes.

>Sprayed some Eros on me
>Girl told me I smell nice
Its that easy

What's something like burberry hero but spicier?

Let me guess you 'need' more

Blogpost time. New to /frag/, started working in an office and making enough money that dropping a couple hundred isn't gonna bother me. I've read through the Turin books and have just finished my first round of 1ml samples. Chosen based on notes, self perception, and some memes.

Terre D'Hermes EdP: Great citrus opening, and I enjoyed the depth of that "mineral" note. Seemed a little faint to me, and unfortunately, the sharp smell sort of bothered my stomach. Something in this vein for work.

Black Orchid EdP: I really liked this. Good floral and depth, was told it projected and before bed / waking up the next morning I really smelled the chocolate note. I'm sure I can find something comparable but cheaper/less """masstige""".

Tauer LADDM: Delightful as soon as I put it on my skin. I probably liked this and Black Orchid the most. Pleasant blend of spice upfront, dusty and sweet through the day. It's always pleasant to get a whiff. I kept my sample for reference and ordered a sample of LADAS.

Dior Sport (2021): Interesting. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but that long and lingering incense note was both the best and worst part for me. I need to wear it again to pinpoint what I disliked. I'm looking for a different incense scent than this either way.

Black Afgano: Not for me. I projected well, but I wasn't confident wearing it.

ELO Jasmin et Cigarette: Pleasant but simple jasmine to me. Perhaps it was the day, but I felt very much at peace when I wore this. after I reapplied during the day, the chemicals brought tears to my eye. I've ordered a sample of Fat Electrician to give this house one more chance.

Bvlgari Eau de The Rouge: discontinued, so it was a pointless sample. Sampling Memo Winter Palace to try to find a red tea scent as I enjoyed it, while it lasted.

next sample batch is winter palace, LADAS, CdG 2, Civet and NY Intense. I've been smelling in department stores and bought a 100ml of Habit Rouge EdP after buying into the hype and smelling it.

>>17775616
yes, I need tobacco

>Terre D'Hermes EdP: Great citrus opening, and I enjoyed the depth of that "mineral" note. Seemed a little faint to me, and unfortunately, the sharp smell sort of bothered my stomach. Something in this vein for work.

Try the Parfum, it's the one I wear for work

What’s a cheap and super strong fragrance for men ? I wanna smell like a million bucks, literally.

I'm selling my xerjoffs because fell in love with prin

>>17774692
Hi /fa/, I need your help. I need a sexy Fall/Winter fragrance to wear going back to University. It needs to be considered sexy from 18+ women.

I'm thinking either Killian Black Phantom or Bulgari's Man In Black. What say you? I appreciate your help.

>>17775639
>Cheap
>Wants a super strong fragrance

Why are poorfags like this?


Now for some quality content: What fragrance do you think would appeal the most to BBBRRRAAAAAPPP posters? I'm thinking it would have to have leather, cumin, oud, patchouli, civet and musk at a minimum.

>>17775649
All my strong fragrances are invernal I need something fresh I can get for under 100 euros

>>17775646
Castoreum + civet mix

>>17775639
Just buy straight litres of essential oils and bathe in them undiluted

>>17775653
Lmao. If you have that depth of knowledge in scent, I would really appreciate a true suggestion please.

>>17775649
>>17775655
Tsvga Fiona

>>17775652
Bois imperial

>>17775669
Do you guys think that Bois imperial would be so shilled here and memeable if the fragrance was called "spicy wood"

>>17775669
How strong is it? I usually apply 8 sprays of interlude and want similar effects

>>17775669
a tad too iris heavy for my nose

>>17775670
It's literally only shilled by that whore mongering Arab and people who ironically shill it to make fun of him.

>>17775535
>Dumb reach

Makes sense seeing as your post indicates a very low IQ.

>Telling people not to dismiss all designer scents
>Telling people to buy what makes them happy and enjoy it
>Low IQ

Very true anon, anyone not spending $400 for a 30 ml bottle of Eau du Shit Blood and Cum is a smooth brained tool.

>>17775695
shit priced that high is usually fake niche conglomerate owned price gouging garbage

>>17775702
Ah yes, the trick is to buy fairly priced niche Piss Shit and Cum. Truly I see now.

>>17775713
I just like smelling new and interesting frags. I'm not buying full bottles, especially of frags that are offensive for the sake of being offensive. I get buying designer mass appealing shit and think that's probably best for the average consumer, but then why are you even here?

>>17775695
It's just very "perfume influencer" is all. Luca Turin never "dumb reached" for a perfume in his life and, if we are being honest, I think quite a few of us in this thread would do well to follow his example.

i bought a bottle of tabac craftsman (sausage clone) last year as a dumb reach for the occasions where i need something ultra safe. haven't touched it once after the first week. dunno what to do with it

>>17775757
use it as a bathroom spray?

>>17775376
Giorgio for Men. Unless you really want Zyklon B, in which case it would be One Man Show Gold Edition. Get Giorgio instead, it's actually good.

>>17775381
Luna Rossa Black

>>17775439
If you've tested it and liked it, why not?

>>17775535
Based iceberg level 6 enjoyer. I'm testing so much and every time I get a bottle of niche stuff I end up reaching for the same designers instead. I should have stopped at Dior and Chanel, there was no point in going elsewhere. I get to smell just as good for often half the price with the designers.

>>17775639
As said above, Giorgio for Men or One Man Show Gold Edition. If you really don't care and hate yourself, Poop! Homme.

>>17775771
I could kiss you, thanks brother

>>17775376
one man show gold edition

>>17775478
>Are there any others in this same scent range that you would recommend trying?
Jaipur Homme EDP is a bit like Obsession. great fragrance

>>17775630
>I'm sure I can find something comparable but cheaper/less """masstige"""
actually Black Orchid is one of the few Tom Ford fragrances that are worth picking up

>>17775646
Man in Black. don't pay the Kilian pseudo-niche tax

>>17775672
I don't love it that much, but it's very strong for a freshie

>>17775301
>I've said it before, but I once heavily oversprayed Lalique Lion PH (just kidding, overspraying is impossible) and walked past a zoomer chick and she audibly dry-retched. It was great because I knew I had applied enough
Yeah, I was afraid that it might be too light, but the EDP is actually decently strong. I can see how 40 sprays might be room-clearing.
the sandalwood and vanilla is so strong that it doesn't really work in hot weather IMO. can't wait to try it in autumn

>>17775785
Okay I just bought it on Amazon

>>17775630
>TdH EDP
good
>Black Orchid EdP
dunno, will have to test again at the duty-free shop
>Tauer LDDM
BASED AF
>Dior Sport 2021
not great, not terrible
>Black Afgano
i have it, it's great but i don't use it too often (maybe better for fall/winter)
>ELDO J&C
i don't know this one but there are some pretty decent frags in the line (You Or Someone Like You, Rien+Rien Intense Incense, Remarkable People, Hermann, etc.)
>Bvlgari Eau de The Rouge
dunno
>Tauer LADAS
HOLY BASED
>CdG 2
weird in a good way
>Civet
keep me updated if this is the Zoologist frag
>NY Intense
HOLY BASED

all in all that is a pretty good selection, do some more rounds of this and then you can go down the small niche/artisan rabbit hole

>>17775702
Krissana by prin that I really want a bottle of is priced like that

>>17775478

Again, these don't smell like Obsession. They're in the same family though of sexy, manly amber/spicy frags.

>>17775630
Based systematic anon

Machrie has been my best blind buy, the more I wear the more I appreciate the quality of its ingredients and composition, as simple as it is.
Cistus, lots of slightly stinky ambergris (synthetic I imagine, but much closer to the real thing than straight up ambroxan if so), mineral without being ozonic, with a tiny bit of sage and patchouli emerging in the drydown as the cistus subsides.
A great warm weather frag, and an unusual one at that considering it designer juice, I can't but recommend it.

Getting in as many Sel Marin wears as possible before summer ends. God it’s so incredible. What should I wear to an upcoming wedding in the fall:
>Platinum Egoiste
>Dior Homme
>Ormonde Man
>Bois Imperial
>Aesop Hwyl
Something else?

>>17775989
ormonde man is the only fragrance in that won’t clear the wedding reception, so maybe that.

>>17775991
>Ormonde Man
There’s a very powdery, lipsticky note there. I don’t know what that is

>>17775991
I’m a sissy sprayer so I don’t clear rooms ever but I see what you mean. It is the most well-composed, elegant fragrance I own right now. Do you have any recs based on my current rotation and lack of taste?

>>17775997
you better not be shitposting about fucking iris again
>>17776000
try timbuktu.

>>17775991
lol why would platinum egoiste clear the wedding reception?

>>17775936
are you the knowledgeable recommender from /wt?

>>17775616
Sauce

>>17776005
because it’ll make you smell like you just got out of the shower at a cheap shady motel, and no one wants to catch bedbugs from you.

>>17775989
>Something else?
best frag on that list

>>17776014
rude

>>17775989
You can literally wear any of them, they are all fine for weddings. There's nothing extraordinary stinky in there, just a bunch of clean fragrances. Personally, I'd choose Platinum Egoiste, although suit + PE might feel like an average day of work and not like a wedding.
Been to three weddings this year and have one upcoming (I'm at the age where every non-academic friend is getting married and covid delayed some of them), really doesn't matter what you wear as long as you smell good. Plenty of others will be wearing whatever fragrances, literally the only one they own, without overthinking it. For example, I've smelled Jazz Club in 35°C heat and I absolutely despise that stuff, but it is what it is.

>>17776000
If you sissyspray anyway, it really doesn't matter, at all. You will get mogged and you will accept that.

>>17776038
>really doesn't matter what you wear as long as you smell good
small problem is, you don’t.

>>17776038
I want to start spraying more but my sensitivity always keeps me from going beyond 2-3. Also I wear fragrances for myself, not for others or to seek compliments (but they are assuring when I get them). Is it true if you spray more you go somewhat noseblind?

>>17775013
That bottle looks like one of those 6th house shrine/urn/statue things from Morrowind

>>17776053
It's all individual/subjective. You don't have to spray more if you can't bear it yourself. No reason to make yourself uncomfortable. Whether or not you go noseblind is also just as subjective, and that doesn't just depend on the person, it also depends on the fragrance. If you wear fragrances for yourself, anyway (as it should be), you also don't need to worry about which one your wear, at all. The choice you make is obviously one you like, otherwise you wouldn't have a bottle of it. Like I said, you're overthinking it. Most people have a single bottle ranging from drug store trash to overpriced faux-niche and they only use that and nothing else. They don't have the burden of choice and they don't want to have it. Just do it as they do. Pick what you feel like wearing and just wear it.

Has anyone here tried Lalique Amethyst?

>>17775991
>>17775997
Cardamom in Ordmonde Man can give off powdery impression. It's not iris >>17776002 as it is not a chypre but a fougere. There can't be iris there.

>>17776115
Yes, it's a much better Guerlain Vetiver.

>>17776122
>>17776124
look who’s woken up.

>>17774754
>>17774755
>>17774758
>>17774759
>>17774761
sampled l'habit rouge, this one is totally not what I was going for, but I like it a lot. guerlain vetiver matches very well from the notes, but smells like burnt rubber to me. could be a side effect, because I had l'homme ideal in that spot a few hours earlier and washed it off with soap. I get a feeling that it's not all habit rouge that I am smelling, but rather the blend of the two, but if I smell it up close it's really that rubbery sensation.
russian tea could also fit my description, as well as:
https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Korres/Vetiver-Root-Green-Tea-Cedarwood-12668.html
https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Truefitt-Hill/Trafalgar-8523.html
https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Krigler/Lieber-Gustav-14-8162.html
but no idea where to sample those. I could only blind buy and hope for the best/resell on ebay if I don't like it. same with the hermes/guerlains: their boutiques are all too far away, and while I can easily order online they don't sell the fragrances I want in a gift pack, nor do they add a 2ml sample to the order.

>>17776149
i still think you should just get equipage and call it a day

>>17776153
yeah, I could just order that, but I am not feeling good about a blind buy. Is it similar to derby, because I wanted to also give that a try?

>>17776154
uh, loosely? derby is a lot more aggressive and less restrained for sure. more dry, more smoky, where equipage is more spicy and warm.

>>17775771
>If you've tested it and liked it, why not?
I did and I do, gonna buy a bottle now
thanks bro

Iron duke smells like a recently pissed men bathroom when it dries

>>17776217
would explain why gothrock fag is crazy all over beaufort

>>17776180
do you happen to know bel ami, too? how does it compare to those? I think that it could be better for me, because I seem to get a minor allergic reaction to the wood components

>>17776243
bel ami is totally unrelated to either and much closer to the likes of fahrenheit. my mom HATES bel ami but likes equipage a fair bit.

>>17776259
equipage sounds like an easy win then, because fahrenheit is totally not mine and I won't be in paris any time soon for derby. thanks! guerlain vetiver is also starting to grow on me, the blend with habit rouge on the other arm is really interesting

>>17775902
>Civet
yeah its zoologist, I'm a sucker for branding. I'll post back on it, but like Black Afgano I might just try to wear them later in September. CdG2 sounds very interesting, a smell I simply want to smell even if not wear.
>>17775638
I'll sample the parfum next go around, cheers.
>>17775798
I really did like the semi gourmand notes in BO, while still maintaining a composure. Might get a 5ml decant before I commit to purchasing more.

>>17776285
i think you’ll enjoy equipage a lot, especially since you specified cardamom and it’s a particularly prominent note in it. but yes, habit rouge and vetiver are wonderful to have when you’re not in a tweeds and prince of wales checks mood.

My mom wears Clinique Aromatics (Elixer?) and I love it so much. I guess it’s the patchouli but my only experience with patchouli is smelling filthy hippies with BO. Is it another ingredient or combination that I’m smelling with the Clinique? What are some other fragrances that resemble it for men/unisex?

>>17776319
aromatics elixir is already great on a man, so i have no idea what you’re asking for

>>17776322
Oh ok. I associate it with my mom obviously so I assumed it was for women.

>>17776327
it was marketed towards women 50 years ago, but today it smells so distantly unrelated to any currently popular feminine perfume that it’s effectively unisex.

>>17776329
Is the forward scent patchouli? I’m completely uneducated, trying to get on the right path for researching other fragrances.

>>17774692
Post your meme collections. Any good patchouli releases this year? I'm out of the loop. Desperately want to get a backup bottle of Patchouli Absolu but prices were pure rape last I checked.

>>17776333
it’s a pretty dense patchouli, yes.

>>17776336
Meme as in meme fragrances or memes? You don’t seem to own many memes actually

>>17776338
Do you have any recommendations

>>17776341
if you’re not comfortable with wearing mom’s perfume, aramis 900 is very much in the same vein by the same perfumer but trimmed down for masculine use. alternatively, cabochard/aramis, bernard chant’s earlier masterpiece, but still very different from his later aromatics elixir.

>>17776340
I just used meme as a synonym to popular I guess. Last I was posting, Kouros, Beach Hut, Antaeus, Beau du Jour, NYI, Etruscan Water were mentioned almost every thread.

>>17776350
Thank you so much!

>>17776038
>I've smelled Jazz Club in 35°C heat and I absolutely despise that stuff
because jazz club is rancid anon.

>>17775601
yeah it is...and speaking of it SOTD sauvage. it just works

>>17775630
off to a great start. black orchid is in fact one of the best tom fords. suits my skin great as well. CDG2 is one of my favourites of all time. it's fresh, distant, weird. feels like what a robot that gained emotions would smell like
regarding tauer, both LADAS and LADDM are insane perfumes. really enjoy both, they're extremely complete and great ideas, even though I'm more of ACDDM guy.
also never really liked tdh on me. it's good on other people but personally find it very suffocating on myself. the vetiver one is more interesting and suits me better, give it a try as well.

>>17775672
usually 3 sprays are enough to last me a whole day plus I still smell like it when I wake up. it stays on clothes for very long as well

>>17776336
pretty good anon, but gladly you're missin a couple memes. btw how's psychédelique for you? been wanting to try it for a long time since I'm a big patchouli fan.

got dana tabu in the mail. what are my thoughts on it?

>>17776363
you dont think at all.

Another date today, wearing Muscs Koublai Khan again. I’m running really quick through that decant of mine.

Frens, I need advice since Im starting to lose my mind a bit. Ive tried almost everythinhg at sephora, living in france helps sometimes. Im trying to create a year round set of perfume to wear.
I thought about :
- Dior Homme Parfum for winter which I just bought a few days ago
- Platinium Egoiste for Spring / Autumn ?
- Dior Homme Sport for the Summer ?

I also want to buy Fahrenheit Parfum, JPG Le Male le parfum or even Eau des BAVX but it seems redondant with DHP ?

Ive already tried Le Male, le Male le parfum(extra nice) which are both very nice for a daily wear.
Last year I bought Fahrenheit EDT and Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee. Exceptional odor but both deceiving projection and longvety at least on my skin.
Also tried Bois Imperial, very nice but something is off after three or four hour. A pungent smell comes strong. Sad

Any ideas ? How do you guys organize your yearly and seasonnal rotation ? What about perfume for the same season ? I like to be well organized sometimes and not thinking about that

I used to wear JPG Le Male le Parfum all day long from sept to july, used to get compliments all the time. It was lasting the whole day. Im about to pull the trigger on 200ml bottle for 88eur and wear that as no brainer so i can stop all that thinking about smelly water.
but then again when do i wear DHP ?? summoning all high IQ here
(thanks for the frag frens who already answered me in a thread )

>>17776384
nigga you gay as fuck

>>17776362
>how's psychédelique for you
Sprayed it on just now for the first time in a while and I actually like it more now than when I first bought it. I haven't used it as much as I'd liked cause the marshmallow and vanilla notes really popped when I first got it and it was pretty off-putting to wear outside for me. Though not really a gourmand like some reviews on Fragrantica mention.

Now it's a bit dustier (after 2 years) and more Chanel-old lady like a less modern Coromandel. To me it's like Patchouli Absolu in that it plays opposing vibes like a sophisticated-rugged well, except Psychedelique is more unisex sophisticated-hippie.

>>17776390
why is that ?

>>17776392
I like psychedelique a lot. I agree that it plays up both the chocolaty and pungent facets of patchouli. While not really a gourmand, I can't resist the rum soaked chocolate cake impression.

>>17776404
dunno what to tell you dawg, all your shit’s fagged up

>>17776384
You don't need Le male Le parfum if you already have DHP, which is just better
Get something that isn't a sweet vanilla iris thing.

>>17776406
the fuck ? what do you wear ?

>>17776414
shit that aint homo son. that’s what i wear

>>17776413
>You don't need Le male Le parfum if you already have DHP, which is just better

your saying i can wear it everyday easily ?

>>17776419
which is ?

>>17776422
maybe if you weren’t straight gay you’d knew

>>17776424
ok faggy
I thought you had something interesting that i can learn from you

>>17776428
naw bruh i aint versed in homomancy, you gotta go find yourself a gay wizard if you wanna learn more about suckin dick

>>17776420
If you like it, why not? But I'd throw in something less sweet and less powerful. Like Encre Noire extreme or Terre d'Hermes or something or something.

>>17774692
Any recs similar to Reine De Nuit for 200ish? I'd rather not cough up Night Veils money. Basically a spicy fruity rose combo that's heavy on the fruits and spices and not completely feminine-leaning. Portrait of a Lady is too heavy on the rose for what I'm looking for.

>>17776435
lol this nigga wears byredo

>>17776336
Pretty based. I like or tolerate all of them other than toy boy. What is Etruscan water closest to? Is it dated? I've tried under my skin, which I didnt find dated but I didnt love. Mostly a cinnamon and iris blast. Sex and the Sea was complete shit. Sticky fingers was a pretty run of the mill patchouli

>>17776435
fuck byredo

>>17774705
It last longer if you spray it on your clothes instead of skin
Platinum egoiste isn’t a bad performer either, it gets faint after like 5 hours but I can still smell it for like 8 total

>>17776450
>>17776469
Most of their stuff is horrible value but some of their note combos I haven't found anywhere else.

>>17776475
Do they have anything with decent performance that's not suited strictly for colder weather?

>>17776475
lol, what an idiot

>>17776480
What's decent for you? I've gotten 6 hours from Oud Immortel and it's good for anywhere below 30°c. Can't get enough of the limoncello note.

>>17776475
their only decent frag is Bal Dáfrique and it has mid performance. sadge

>>17776516
bal d’afrique fucking sucks, it’s just a shitty watery mango.

>>17776491
6 hours seems ok but to be honest I usually prefer more aromatic, fougere-adjacent scents as Ouds usually tend to go in the sweeter direction.

>>17776341
Giorgio for men is a great big stonking patchouli in the 80s style and can be had quite cheaply.

>>17776363
You want a frosty root beer

>>17776319
Tempo by Dyptique is the best patchouli fragrance I've ever tried

>>17776384
>Fahrenheit Parfum
Best thing I ever smelled, go get that shit!

>>17775936
>>17775789
>>17775542
>>17775501

Thank you all for responding. I will be purchasing these in small quantities and return with my findings. It’s interesting realizing how poor my vocabulary is when describing fragrances. Looking forward to changing that and discovering something new.

Damn, im enjoying this stuff so much from the sample I got, but this stuff is so fucking expensive.

It has real castoreum absolute and it smells gorgeous.

Anything else that you say it could be similar that I should try? I know it's hard to try , but try to judge from the notes

I fucking hate prin, the prices are stupidly high, but the compositions are just too good

>>17774935
What image exactly are you trying to give that you're thinking so hard about it? I try to run down poor performing cheapies and freshies I want to get rid of by using them in the gym. Nobody wants to smell some leather, pachouli and civet arsehole boutique shit in there while they're lifting. Anything elaborate or sophisticated and you come across as a cocksucker. Just wear something that smells better than sweat or deodorant and people that care will notice the minimal effort without realising what a fag you are.

CK one that an aunty gave me, god that fucking bottle won't finish with 50 sprays per use.
Boss Inifinite EDP is fine but boring, sometime use after a shower too.
Drakkar Noir (standard one).
I actually like Gio Absolu and Legend Spirit but as both are so weak I don't really use them anywhere else.
Club de Nuit milestone is nice but I'm somehow noseblind to it, almost smells of nothing to me after a few minutes.

lmao are you suggesting fashion model/actresses are quality women?

Egoiste is good.
DH is abhorrent
Bois might work in for fall if it's an outdoor wedding but it really isn't a wedding a scent, I don't know what occasion it's good for desu though I like it.

Poll: I'm placing an order soon, and I've got ~40 USD extra. Do I get:
Lalique pour Homme
Bentley for Men Absolute
Azzaro pour Homme

Choose one.

Eau des Baux smells pretty good, but is it me or is it very similar to Spicebomb (only better)?

>>17776591
lol what a retard

>>17776742
azzaro is far and away the best on that list. it’s not even close.

Is this fragrance really worth $100 for 6ml? I can't imagine that checks out in any regard, but it has such interesting accords.

>>17775964
I recommend their body-wash too. Not too sure about the consensus on 'Molton Brown' but I enjoy their body-wash as well.

>>17776765
if you’re over here asking us to justify it for you, the answer should be pretty obvious

>>17776758
You haven't tried it right

>>17776767
I'm asking if it smells good

You all hate Sauvage because it's throws the reality of the world in your face every time you smell it.
Sauvage isn't brilliant, it isn't exceptional, it isn't magical. It is simply well put together, friendly, out going, doesn't quit and manages to fit in without changing in almost every situation. And that is more than good enough because the overwhelming majority of people love it. And this is documented time and time again, video after video and post after post. People love Sauvage.
Sauvage as a fragrance is what you wish you could be as a person, but aren't. Instead you'll sit around circle jerking the rare ingredients and exotic creations, lauding each other for your superior taste, looking down on the plebs who shower Sauvage with compliments. Why don't they compliment you? Isn't it obvious how much better your fragrance is? It's niche for gods sakes!
Nevermind that you don't actually understand what niche even means.
So you'll post and post, seething and pretending to laugh at your own wit each time you meme about Bois Imperial. But one black day you'll crack and do the unthinkable: You'll buy Sauvage. You won't post about it here of course, my god why would you? You have a completely anonymous reputation to protect! You'll spray it on and part of you will be ashamed and feeling transgressive, but a small sliver of you will feel hopeful for a change. Maybe, just maybe, today I'll be noticed. Today I'll get a compliment. I just want to feel what it's like one time, everyone else loves this stuff, surely there's one compliment left for me?
I genuinely pity you when you still won't get a compliment and are forced to confront the reality that even a jovial titan like Sauvage cannot mask how rotten, desolate and unappealing you are.

So keep shitting on Sauvage, spray your niche of the month or whatever arab oil is getting hawker now. Much like a tranny pretends to be a woman you are equally delusional in your claims of superiority. Cope and seethe.

Very nice, very nice indeed.

I tried some Aqua di Gio Profumo and Profondo today.
There's something about Profumo that smells like an old man but combined with some nice stuff. It smells like some kind of thyme or rosemary or something. Are there any other designer fragrances like this? I really really like it
Profondo is ok, but I feel like it's somewhat generic

i find the name acqua di gio “profondo” extraordinarily funny, as if there’s anything profound about acqua di gio or armani as a whole.

>>17776958
Profumo is incence kino tho

i move in to my new dorm tomorrow and meet my roommate for the next year for the first time. help me decide what to wear to appropriately assert myself as superior to him (i am)

Lalique pour homme. Bentley is just ok and Azzaro is too grandpaish for me to wear personally.

Been experimenting with grandpa colognes. Pino Sylvestre came in today. I like the herbal complexity but the sweet syrupy note is somewhat off-putting. 4711 is of course a staple at this point and girls surprisingly like it.

I have Cerruti 1881 coming in tomorrow after the tester was surprisingly a personal favorite of recent memory and a hit with my girlfriend. What other "dated" or old guy fragrances should I try? I've been wanting to get my hands on Kouros but I can't find a tester.

>>17777071
Bump limit is still 310.

>>17777322
Pino Silvestre smells like plastic to me and nothing else. I was amazed that people wear it voluntarily.
Anyway, you want Estee Lauder for Men, Giorgio for Men and Paco Rabanne pour Homme. Those are at least the cheapest ones I can think of right now, considering you seem to be interested in full bottles.

>>17777335
>Bump limit is still 310
People just stop posting when the limit is getting close, 300 is the psychological line
