He‘s been rather fucked up for about three years by now and I don‘t trust a nose that is in the process of dissolving due to an excessive amount of that sweet kuhkane.

Does anyone have any recommendations for independent chink brands that are available internationally?

Anyone has any experience with attars?

Anyone here ever try this?
Mortal Skin.
Of the niche houses it’s one of the few I haven’t tried.

Is Amouage good

>>17783107
no

>>17783107
>Areej, Roja, Amouage, Xerjoff, Parfums de Marly

Damn, you thought the other hooker you posted was too pretty for the point you are making

>>17783049
What are reasons to wear fragrance?

>>17783118
Especially Parfums de Marly resembles that hooker

imagine being so fucking obsessed about scented water it's fucking ridiculous you guys are manchilds

>>17783122
i wear it to smell nice
that's it

>>17783122
None. Nobody cares how you smell; it's all a fucking illusion or something.

where do you guys apply your fragrance? I mostly apply it on my neck. About 4 sprays to the sides. Arms are good too but I don't want to spray the long sleeves in winter.

>>17783107
Some are good but not for the retail price
>>17783122
What are reasons to do anything?

>>17783122
it's fun to be surrounded by a nice smell throughout the day. no matter how boring or shitty your day is, you'll occasionally catch a whiff of it and go "damn, I smell nice"

>>17783143
>What are reasons to do anything
I don't know man. I'm having a hard time to sleep lately, my life has no purpose. I don't necessarily enjoy my job, I don't like eating, I don't want to go out with my friends. Everything is going to shit

>>17783145
What if my life is a complete series of shits hitting the fan? Maybe the fragrance will remind me of bad memories then... You thought about that?

>>17783049
I want to steal fragrances. I don't want to buy them, I want to keep my money. I want to steal them because I believe some are valuable.

Full by Al-Rehab was a good purchase, it's a tad boring on its own but the quality and realism of the scent are quite high and the performance is nuclear, so I'm using it for layering with smokier and heavier frags like Interlude Man.
If you like jasmine you should buy a bottle.

>>17783173
Stupid bottle and packaging. Why did you buy this?

>>17783143
>Yes, some of my favorite iris chypres are attars. What you want to know?
How do you apply them to avoid contamination? And for how long does a 3gr one last?

>>17783171
they can tell as soon as you enter the store

>>17783143
Which ones are good? I've only tested Search and Epic so far, was thinking of nabbing a few decants just to smell them occasionally

>>17783174
>stupid bottle
This guy has never seen a roller bottle for fragrance oil ahah
>why did you buy this
I love jasmine and I wanted a realistic jasmine-focused frag.

>>17783184
I want to steal them from a warehouse or something then

>>17783193
okay good luck

>>17783194
Well give me some advice then! I didn't come to >>>/adv/ for no fucking reason

>>17783049
There are some perfume shops that sell fragrances inspired from popular fragrances. I think they're called dupes. Anyway, they cost 20 bucks per 100 ml and I really prefer to buy one million and Versace Eros for 40 bucks rather than 100-150.

>>17783212
Also, they're all eau de parfum. One million and Versace Eros are only eau de toilette. That tells a lot about quality

>>17783208
don't be a nigger

thanks for the equipage recommentaion. it is really is nice, it's like a toned down patou pour homme

okay, now this is based

>>17783212
>>17783215
>if sellers say they smell the same they must, obviously, smell the same
>if the concentration is higher the frag must, obviously, ne better
time to buy a few of them and try out the average dupe frag quality for yourself

>>17783245
Didn't say it smells the same, but I did indeed say it's higher quality and I don't regret. All the fragrances I've worn are dupes and they rock

>>17783222
Don't be rude anon, he's clearly not black. Black men don't ask for advice on how to commit crime, they just go do it poorly and then call the cops racist for stopping them.

>>17783227
Now try Bel Ami Vetiver.

>>17783189
NTA but Boundless, Jubilation 25, Royal Tobacco, and Memoir Man are at least good enough for decants.

Imagine coming into a thread where the topic is clearly labelled and crying about it because it's a topic you don't care about.

>>17783143

>Noooooo you spend money on a fragrance I don't like nooooooooo you aren't unique like me nooooooo ahhhhhh
how dare you wear something that doesn't affect me in the slightest you fucking chud saaaaaaaaave meeeeeeeee Luca Turin!

>>17783053
I love Jeremy so fucking much bros, he's a one man containment brand for morons who want to have the loudest but also safest fragrance in the room no matter what the cost. I respect the grift.

>>17783227
it’s really good and no one here talks about it, which is probably for the better since this thread is gay and retarded

Any alternatives to this that follows a similar concept?

>>17783264
lol fag

>>17783215
You're a genuine fucking moron if you think the primary factor for quality is concentration. Most of the best men's fragrances have been EdC or EDT. Aqua Di Parma, Antaeus, Aventus, Guerlain Vetiver, Musc Ravageur, Alain Delon Iquitos, Terre D'Hermes, Dior Homme, Chanel Pour Monsieur, Ambre Mythique, Escale en Indonesie, etc. Go through any list and the overwhelming majority will be EDT concentration. By and large calling something a Parfum or Extrait isn't a guarantee of quality, it's a gimmick to get suckers to grab it and it's clearly working.

https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Lalique/Hommage-a-l-homme-Voyageur-21854.html

All have a strong Papyrus note

>>17783212
Yes, anon, we know about them. We've tested them. We've compared them to the originals. They are trash and if you don't know why, here's why:
1. If you wait for a good price, designer fragrances are usually not that high in price. Eros EdP can be had below 50 bucks for 100 mL. Granted, that is still more than what the dupe cost.
2. They don't actually smell the same. They might get the cheapest designers right, but as soon as it comes to anything more refined, they quickly start falling apart. This becomes more obvious the better the perfumer of the original is. At some point, you will simply stop finding dupes. This already happens at the "Dior Homme Intense" or "Chanel Platinum Egoiste" level, so if you want a dupe of a niche fragrance, you are at a loss. They produce nothing but bad smelling trash.
3. Iteration on the point above - the dupes are for designer stuff. Niche fragrances are rarely duped, if any it's stuff like Tom Ford, of which many people have a certain opinion when it comes to being niche. The interesting niche stuff will have no dupes, at all, as a result there are simply not worth being discussed.
4. Concentration is made up. They claim to have a certain percentage of oils, but there's no legally binding definition for anything. They can claim Eau de Parfum with 30% oils, put in 10% fragrance oils and 20% vegetable oils and it wouldn't be a lie, because EdP doesn't mean 30% fragrance oils by any legally binding definition.
5. Quality? More fragrance oils = more quality? This is the point where it becomes obvious that you're intentionally trolling, but since we have a lot of newfriends coming into this thread, I still wanted to type this reply out. I don't know how more fragrance oils are supposed to be a sign of quality. There is no link between the two, none at all. As a result, I don't even know how to refute this point. Quality comes from the ingredients/raw materials and the composition, not the amount.

>>17783275
The Lalique might be available in my country, thanks man
I wanted to get Atelier Cologne's Gaiac Eternel at first, but for some goddamn reason no one reputable is selling it on my local platforms, so I was just going to swipe a good bunch of samples from the guy I originally ordered the tester from and fill up a bottle with them

>>17783277
>They can claim Eau de Parfum with 30% oils, put in 10% fragrance oils and 20% vegetable oils and it wouldn't be a lie, because EdP doesn't mean 30% fragrance oils by any legally binding definition.

NTA but he's right about this, if you dig around on Basenotes you can find old threads discussing Alexandria and DUA doing exactly this. They aren't technically lying, fragrance has an ungodly high percentage of oil but it's inert. You don't need to analyze them on a mass spectrometer to piece this together but some true fragrance autists actually did this and the spikes corresponded to a high level of inert oils that did nothing for the smell.

For new anons: Paradoxically more essential oils in a frag doesn't always mean it's stronger either. Alcohol needs to evaporate to carry the fragrance away from your skin so you can smell it. Real Parfums and extraits often have god tier longevity but dog shit projection for that reason.


If you're just starting out, ignore labels like EdC, EdT, Parfum, Extrait, etc. They're more for marketing than the actual scent construction. Sample religiously, the same frag will smell different on two different people due to chemistry, and often different on yourself throughout the year.

>>17783281
You're very welcome anon. Lalique is one of my favorite houses. Doesn't get much hype but the price to quality ratio is fantastic, they've never let me down.
If you can get samples please try Lalique Homme EDP, Lalique Equus EDP, and Lalique Hommage.

>>17783212
good bait anon. a tad bit too obvious with the 1million and eros but try it again in a few threads

>>17783285
There's a lot more to projection/sillage/longevity, even.
Let's consider two molecules for each property, which are included in a fragrance in the same amount.

Detection threshold:
One fragrance molecule has a detection threshold of 5 ppm, the other has one of 100 ppm. That means one of them can be detected at way lower concentrations in the air already, and as a result, it will usually have higher projection and sillage. It will also affect longevity, as you will be able to perceive it for longer if all other properties are the same.

Volatility:
One fragrance molecule has high volatility and evaporates quickly, the other one evaporates slowly. That usually means increased projection/sillage for the more volatile one and more longevity for the less volatile one, if all other properties are the same (like detection treshold).
Concentration-based scent changes:

Tenacity:
A more abstract (or more chemical) concept closely related to volatility. Due to intermolecular effects, that means interactions between various molecules, certain fragrance molecules stick to certain surfaces better (e.g. clothes or skin). If you have two molecules with the same detection threshold and volatility, but one has e.g. increased hydrogen bonding to skin, it will then become less volatile while on skin and last longer on it.

A whole bunch of other shit:
Diffusion into the skin or into the fatty layer on top can affect fragrances as well. It is often suggested to moisturize skin before applying a fragrance, and part of that is because moisturizer contains large molecules which cover the surface of the skin and do not evaporate quickly. The fragrance can diffuse into the moisturizer and will diffuse out of it slower than when evaporating directly off of the skin, being blocked and held back by the moisturizer. Then there are additional interactions with skin, sweat, bacteria, whatever else is on the skin and so on. Scents can also change with concentration.

>>17783153
Understood bro. I got my fix of dopamine from ordering the Areej Le Dore full set for $1550 but it started running off, so I installed Tinder and I'm back at fucking sluts to fill the void. Yesterday it was my 50th lay (at 30yo) which made me a bit retrospective about the value of chasing pussy. I was wearing Muscs Koublai Khan and she loved it. It's really confusing but so far I got only great reactions from women for a fragrance that has a renowned reputation for smelling like excrements and animal sweat. My 5ml decant is slowly finishing, so I might cop a full jar bottle. The purchase and waiting for it to arrive should give me a few more days without the void sucking me back inside.
>>17783171
Take a decant bottle with you and just spray it there.
>>17783173
It will start collecting dust in your drawer after 2-3 more wears. Mark my words.
>>17783177
Most attar bottles come with a glass stick for application but I typically use a toothpick. 3gr should last you as long as 30ml bottle but it depends on a fragrance. Some of Sultan Pasha's attars I own are probably more equivalent to 1 or 2 100ml bottles.
>>17783189
Amouage Gold and Figment are good. I also liked one of the Opuses but don't remember which one. In 2023 Amouage lost its relevance. Every single house has some oriental perfume in their offering. Back in the day things like Jaipur were blowing people minds, and Serge Lutens/Amouage were genuinely exciting houses providing unique scent profiles.
>>17783192
>I love jasmine and I wanted a realistic jasmine-focused frag.
Then don't buy lowest tier arab shit.
>>17783212
They're never worth it but you do you.
>>17783231
So you will get double bottles? Snice.

boss number one: when I initially got it in summer I got a nice smokey opening, but now it smells a lot different to me. Is it the colder weather?

>>17783122
I like wearing something nice ar home before bed sometimes, especially incense heavy frags
Think of it like those karens using aromatherapy lamps and shit, but for pure personal enjoyment instead of whatever pseudoscientific health claims those things come with

It just seems like a hassle to apply, and if you use toothpicks, you are contaminating the oil, and if you use the glass stick, you are also doing that with whatever you have on your skin. Like, it should come with a really really narrow dropper. Like I'm not expending 400 euros on a 1gr oil to degrade it with every time I use it

>>17783350
Nah, I burn actual prayer incense twice a day already, and I dislike breathing in actual smoke
I like the scent of unlit tobacco as a note in frags, but I don't smoke and would avoid anyone who does irl
Frags are a good way to get that smell without burning my nostrils

I want a frag that is woody and floral, yet musky and powdery, but has whispers of amber/oriental does such a frag exist??????

>>17783359
Dior Homme Intense?

>>17783353
just pour half the bottle on your arm like russian adam
>>17783354
like catholic incense? it's the same stuff, just smells slightly different and it's nowhere near cigarette smoke. if you avoid the cheap indian stuff that's coated in oil to burn more easily that is.

>>17783321
>>17783350
been waiting since mid july. only ordered the lil pack of 4 samples, still good to see they actually care. will surely order full bottles if the scents click. I got the putain des palaces, jasmin et cigarette, she was an anomaly, and archives 69. they don't do samples of secretions magnifiques, sadly

>>17783364
Chink incense, which is already pretty light, but I just don't like inhaling actual smoke generally

dior sauvage, homme, homme cologne. Do you really need anything else?

>>17783054
Cool as usual, cant wait to see what im in to i like smelling things!

>>17783511
Religious reasons really
Plu it only burns for a few minutes with minimal smoke, so it's fine

for anyone who wants to talk to zoomer girls about perfume: they’re ALL obsessed with le labo and byredo. make of that information what you will.

>>17783534
Le Labo fucking sucks, and so does Diptyque
Haven't found a store around me that carries Byredo yet, bit I'm not expecting much

>>17783546
they all fucking suck, but also i’m not an autistic retard so i’m not going to debate them about it. i’m wearing cabochard today though and shockingly they all loved it.

>>17783184
I even feel suspicious sampling fragrances in the same store every day

>>17783353
just wash your skin first and you'll be fine, people used splash bottles for perfume for a very long time without issues

Opinions on wearing BR540 as a guy?
I love that scent but I'm worried it's a bit too feminine.

Why bait? Look I don't have eros, but I have million and tobacco vanilla. They smell great. I also have dior homme and Roberto cavalli black. Also paco rabanne phantom and aqua di gio. All of them dupes, all of them smell nice. Sure, maybe if I smell the originals they'll be better, but the dupes are really not bad. They're really really nice

Your post makes it seem like I wrote about what a shit frag and what a let down this was, but you're hallucinating.
Full is a great frag, not any less realistic than other jasmine frags I've tried, like Melodie de l'Amour or Jasmine Angelique, and you would know if you had put your nose anywhere near it instead of devising more new and exciting ways to make yourself look like you're cool on 4channel.

how is bel ami vetiver different from normal bel ami? looking up the notes I can see that it has iris, maybe you're a fan of that? last time I asked already how bel ami differs from equipage, and someone mentioned that it is more aggressive like fahrenheit. sounds as if it were more leathery, rather than musky like kouros?

Should I buy 200ml of joop homme or is there a stronger fragrance Around the same price point

>>17783726
it's rather empty, with the occasional customer here and there. The most annoying part is when they just have to browse in the same section as me, especially if they are women in the men's section, or if someone takes a close look at what I sampled once I move on.

How do you properly spray parfum or even something stronger?

With single fast sprays I get a bigger mist I can't properly aim. With a slower spray I can aim better and target more area.

If I want to spray behind my ears is it fine if I just do a half spray behind my top ear and then rub it down? or should I just leave it dry there?

>>17784188
You really wanna make sure you’re spraying as slowly as possible, anon. Ideally you would point the nozzle towards yourself and rest your finger on the sprayer without applying any pressure, the molecules will slowly diffuse out of the bottle in your direction. Might take a few hours or days for proper application but trust me it’s worth it

You're getting ripped off. Even Jeremy said that fragrances are cheap to manufacture. Sure, you're paying for the art and not for the material, but you're paying 1250 usd for 75 fucking ml, this won't even last you a year. You have to be a complete idiot to make that purchase

>>17784300

when I got a sample of this I thought it was a mistake because it was so bland. it's not the type of thing where you can pick out notes, it's all blended into a single smell in which nothing stands out. it's sort of plasticy and very mildly sweet.
maybe it needs to open up a little bit. it's been a while since I dabbed some on.
that bottle is so ridiculous and I'd heard good things, so I was expecting it to knock my socks off.
can anybody confirm that the sample I got is actually it, or did luckyscent fuck up?

Oh no no no....

I don't think u guys realize just how awful these people are, trannies some how managed to push themselves into every little piece of my life, even the most obscure places.
It's like at least 30% of the population are transexual (that is extremely alarming) and all of them push their fucking narrative down my throat, every single one of them want to control the situation. They get into every little community and instead of just joining the community they try to ruin it and change it to their own

It's intoxicating, the tuberose note is really dominant and the ambergris makes it last forever on your skin. I usually don't really like florals but something about this keeps me coming back for more. The tobacco, tea, oud and vanilla take a back seat to the tuberose and ambergris for me but they are blended really well. A good nose could probably pick them out.

>>17785129
every scent in this line works very well.
The EdT is light and clean and works all day in every season
The EdP is heavier with a touch more powder and has more interesting notes for cooler temps
The Boisee is a cleaner version with an obvious woody backing
and the Privee is rich, sweeter, with a rum+chocolate backing that works very well for date nights

Society has a generally different scent profile and is 'generic sweet'

apparently to amazon, too. my bottle cam directly from them, not some store that just sells with through amazon. the packaging came without the lamination, so I guess someone sprayed once and did not like it. the box was also squished, but I blame that on the small box it came in and the delivery guy stacking other items on top of it

>>17784984
So another chypre from the guy? Can Bisch do anything other than chypres?

The late orris drydown of Etruscan Water (and other Bianchi's fragrances) is the best part. It just feels like your second skin. The natural smell of skin after spending a day outside. Slightly salty (it's probably ambergris in Etruscan Water), musky and creamy. Almost like cuddling with your girlfriend on vacations after a day spent on the beach. She really mastered orris or gets some top grade stuff, as it doesn't smell trivially lipsticky and powdery (almost at all) like many iris fragrances. This is such a full, satisfying and just enjoyable chypre at all stages. Wow. Definitely not a blind buy though because it's quite vintage-smelling and not for the young crowd. I am 30 and feel like I've been pulling it off properly only recently.

Guerlain announced its discontinuation together with other classics like Mouchour de Monsieur but it turned out that they are just reformulating it.

They mood change too, more feminine.

Yep, it's a classic mossy chypre. In same ballpark like Aramis 900 or Aromatics Elixir.

So I've had a few frangrances and recently was thinking about brut.
But this has the purpose of protecting you after a shave (disinfecting cuts), which is what I'd traditionally associate with "cologne".
Colonge actually being low perfume fragrance. So why aren't there more mainstream frags in colonge form for a post shave?

there are, it’s called aftershave. look it up.

>>17786597
>aftershave
But that is just a regular fragrance, you are hardly going to rub it all over your face to prevent rash

>>17786605
no, that’s literally what aftershave is for. a regular fragrance would be a typical eau de cologne or eau de toilette

What's the point of dylan blue? Shit can't be more generic

>>17786545

>>17784893
The vanilla in it attracts bitches and doesn't smell gay.

Are Ani, Hacivat, or Wu Long Cha worth it? Currently they're on sale at ~ $100 for 50ml and $150 for 100 ml. Are I'm a fan of tea frags and I've heard some great things about Ani and Hacivat. I can get 2 50mls or 1 100ml. Are any of them worth it?

>>17786393
Is that the polish seller on etsy?
His offering seems so generic (ISO E-Super + this, ISO E-Super + that, musk + this, musk + that) it makes me doubt his abilities to formulate frags, together with the lack of more detailed info and reviews on frag websites like fragrantica and parfumo.
The frags were also quite expensive for an apparently basement-ran operation, like €20 for 10ml, which is more expensive than most designer AND niche frags.

>>17786240
Those are normal prices nowadays. 2021 had 200 mL Dylan Blue at <50€. Bought Cool Water 200 mL for 28€ last year, though.

>>17786438
Because "disinfecting cuts" is not really a priority anymore, while "moisturizing skin" certainly is. Most aftershaves do not contain any moisturizing compounds, at best there's some panthenol or allantoin, and therefore suck at moisturizing. The alcohol might even dry your skin out even more. So the regular aftershave gets treated as a short lasting fragrance nowadays, and that's simply it. Aftershaves are a product of the past.

>>17787005
You could sample them or them at a store, because we certainly don't know if your nose is the same as ours.

>>17787060
Unfortunately the closest place I can sample them is an hour away. Further, buying samples would be about the same price as a 50ml in the first place.

>>17787051
Yeah that’s the one. Someone was shilling his stuff in a thread a while back so I decided to bite the bullet and bag a boozy sent

>>17787082
it's an hour away? Oh no, in that case you're better off blind buying two 50ml bottles and screech in anger if you don't like them

>>17786988
Good scent shit actor. Ryan Gosling is not someone i want to be associated with.

>>17787097
>someone was shilling his stuff
I only remember someone saying he existed, though do let us know how you find the frag when you get it, maybe my skepticism is exaggerated.

>>17787059
>Aftershaves are a product of the past.
This is a better answer. Thanks. I use a post shave balm myself was thinking of trying brut. Will just stick to fragrance free.

>>17787156
Nothing wrong with Brut as a fragrance, though. I've filled some aftershaves into spray bottles and use them like I would use a fragrance. There are some really "long-lasting" ones, like Pinaud Clubman, which easily lasts 3 hours. I wear it e.g. in the evening after I come back home from the gym, freshly showered, and got like 3 hours left before I go to bed. Perfect for occasions like that. When I get up in the morning and it's the weekend, I put on pants and go to the bakery (before showering etc.) to get something nice for breakfast, hit myself with two sprays of Hattric aftershave or something similar. Lasts 15 minutes and is perfect for that.

Honestly a lot of the "classic" men's scents have this effect on people when worn by younger guys.

Hacivat is legitimately Aventus for the first hour. It smells 100% exactly the same to ma. After that it becomes more woody than Aventus. Do you have aventus? Then it's likely not worth it.

Ani is vaaannnnniiiiillllaaaaaa. Online the writeups say that there's a bunch of shit in this fragrance, and it's really cool that they wrote all that, but the fragrance is one thing in particular. Vaaaaaaaaaaannnnnniiiiiii you get it. Do you want to smell like vanilla?

Wu long cha is a crisp clean greed tea fragrance with a thinly sweet and musky drydown. it's not bad at all, but you have to know already whether you like green tea notes in general, or if you think they're just okay
