Hmmmmm

Creed GIT - couldn't smell it after 15 minutes.

Are Hacivat, Ani, or Wulong Cha worth it? They're available at quite a good price currently, and I'm considering picking them up.

from Azzaro pour Homme fragnantica site
suggestions for fragrances which communicate that you are unapproachable sperg better left alone?

>>17787469
Wulong Cha is worth, imho. Don't really care about the rest of Nishane's offerings.

Ive just thrown away a rancid old bottle of Polo Sport from 1998. Looking for something new to replace it with, leaning towards Fougère Royale or maybe Penhaligon's Sartorial. Thoughts?

Looking for a good tobacco for both fall and to round out my collection generally. Burberry London or The One EDP?

istg this shit is distilled succubs tears or something, ever since i started wearing it people cant get enough

>>17787536
Chopard Oud Malaki is very tobaccoey and a better choice imo

>>17787545
Looking at this, you're probably right, and it's only a pinch more than a bottle of The One. Thanks anon.

>>17787545
>>17787564
I agree about Oud malaki. It has more tobacco and a less typical scent profile.

>>17787525
penhaligons sucks cock

tom ford extreme

>>17787543
It's really good. probably the only rose dominant fragrance I could see myself wearing

What is the price range to look for when shopping for fragrance? I've no idea what is considered cheap/mid/expensive. Implying that the price heavily affects quality, of course.

If you not hitting the gym you're probably some genetically deadend and should not reproduce.
Also WTF Markus Rühl was bigger than Coleman and Cutler. We germans literally mog burgers in every category.
>>17787465
Yeah, GIT is one favorite DNAs. Better go with Al haramain L'Aventure Knight.

>>17787644
What your fantasies have to do with frag, you procreational cattlefag?

>>17787635
(This is in USD and only concerning fragrances in a 100ml format, add ~25% to the price per ml if buying in 50ml format)
Under .75/ml is cheap, .75-1.50 is mid, 1.50 to 2.50 is expensive and over 2.50 is very expensive.

>>17787648
Thx man.

>>17787635
just don't spend more than 1$/ml. It's where you get into pricey teritory where most people find frag too expensive to actually use and it ends up gathering dust dill it goes rancid and gets thrown out a decade later.

>>17787646
Get right frag, get natty, reproduce, push your genetics further the human family tribe.
Wrong frag, stay lazy eat chips all day, can't reproduce, go extinct like the dinosaurs.

>>17787650
you get around 10 sprays per ml, right?

>>17787685
Why do you care if humanity goes extinct? I don't, not my problem. I'll take not having to spend lots of time and nerve on caring about children as a bonus. Genetics, lol. Who fucking cares if no one has life easy anyway?

>>17787635
you can get some classics for under $50 for a 100ml bottle and they are pretty good, too.

>>17787646
>>17787697
that's our resident terminally online coomer. don't reply

What do I do if a certain frag is not present in offline stores in my location to try out? I guess, just blindly ordering it based on 4chan opinions is a dumb idea.

>>17787704
you can try to order samples or decants online

>>17787697
Bro, that's the fucking point. You sound like a typical black piller, very pessimistic. A Sauvage enjoyer. You are literally one of millions sperms that is too weak to fertilize the egg. You as a weak sperm will be flashed away in the toilet. Pathetic.
There's a galactic war outside, we as a species are commanded to protect the earth by physical and mental force. Don't be a worm and get fucked by the mighty beings.

>>17787715
Ok, goy, whatever. Just don't forget to take your antischizo pills.

>>17787724
Or, you need to take cold showers every fucking morning, stop gaming and hit gym to fucking wake up from your junk eating, useless day circle and see life what it is. A galactic mission to protect earth from wicked forces physically and in other realms.

>>17787738
>take cold showers every fucking morning
Good thing.
>stop gaming
Dumbass boomer take.
>hit gym
Useless kind of sport with adverse effects on your joint health even if done correctly. Feels like shit anyway.
>junk eating
Agree, bad thing.
>see life what it is
Life's shit, that's just what it is supposed to feel like thanks to evolution.

Looking at HERMANN A MES COTES ME PARAISSAIT UNE OMBRE on the Notino website from the OP post, it is sold almost with a 50% discount, for 80$. Can it be fake, what do you think?

>>17787768
Thought I was replying to something else. I went to their store in London and bought a sampler that I was told was unisex. Only to get home and realise it contains empressa among others.

>>17787765
Thanks boss.

I do not care for citrus notes

Very inviting.

>>17787797
Mm, must smell like my favorite notes of rice, child labor, and unwashed chinks.

>>17787807
This is in London and is Al Haramain's main address.

Is there a set of most common combinations of notes I should try as a beginner to find out what I like and what don't? Wanna make sure I know what notes to look for when I go to a store tomorrow.

>>17787851
>classic neroli cologne accord
acqua di parma, 4711, neroli portofino
>aromatic fougere
azzaro pour homme, drakkar noir
>chypre

>>17787857
There most likely won't be any of those on the shelves. I'm not from the US, we don't have that much choice here available. But I'll look up what those consist of anyway. Thanks.

>>17787644
whats a good gym scent??

>>17787851
Found it myself. Why is it still not in the OP? That must be pretty based.

Or even more comprehensive.

I just got l1212 blanc edt today and I liked it in the store- very soapy and fresh- but when I brought it home it just seemed very acidic to my nose

Same issue with Versace pour homme

What could this be? I have no idea how to describe it except the acidity in your nose/mouth after you vomit, but with the backing of florals/etc. can’t even pick up on the woods that supposedly are in here. Should I just kms?

SOTS: (scent of the summer) Iris Blue Gris MPG

beaten with an iris root. not your typical powder puff iris. sharp soapy green galbanum notes tinged with citrus and a fruity black currant opening give way to earthy rooty iris with bits of ever so smoky feeling labdanum mottled with moss. a very chic take on a iris fougere that almost oversteps its bounds with a chypre like opening. went through much of this bottle now that bitch face YSL neutered my beloved Trench.

This is god tier. It's like I just stepped out of the steam room at Lifetime Fitness.

Can somebody explain what does "fitness" of a certain fragrance mean? Like why can't I wear something "heavy oriental" to the office?

Lol you bought that shitty smashing pumpkins album lol

Yep, that's me. I don't really understand this concept of "too strong". From my pov, it's always just about concentration - just don't apply too much perfume and it will be fine.

>>17788073
Were you homeschooled or something? You don't understand why it wouldn't be appropriate to weary your fecal civet gay sex fragrance to a wedding for example?

I would say no. It smells like candy to me, not pleasant. Have you tried it before?

Lemme let you guys in on a little secret. This shit is fucking great. I typically wear the austere DH2020/DHS2021, Bois Imperial, Molecule 01 etc to the office and most places, and have zero interest in most typical designer scents… but this particular Gucci is my perfect ‘going out’ scent when I want to stand out a bit. Don’t write it off

What is your opinion on Tom Ford's Fucking Fabulous? I thought it smelled really good in store as an all-season fragrance.

I already have Tobacco Vanille and it's one of my favorites, but I've been wearing it for so long, that I feel sick when I smell it.

>>17788301
It's well blended and sweet, but overall boring.

>>17788289
This is my gay sex scent

YMMV. try it at a store

Try Creed Silver Mountain water.
Reminds me of anais anais kek - still like it a bit.

Is Encre Noir supposed to be a relly watery, wild grass (not strong) experience? It seems exceptionally weak. Like, skin scent in 2 minutes weak. I am using a 2ml spray sample fwiw.

-What's the Best way/place/amount to apply fragrance?
-why do you apply fragrances and how often?

1. I apply to my skin. About 3 inches away, 2 sprays on each side of neck and sometimes arms.

2. I like smelling nice, I also like creating memories. I think I shouldn't apply every day, only on weekends or every other day.

>>17787694
Yes. It's ~ 8-12 sprays

>>17787889

I remember I was wearing Dior Homme Parfum some time ago and riding a tram. suddenly I started smelling it really strongly except it smelled quite unpleasant and oddly pungent. I thought "damn, since when does this smell like shit? I usually love this perfume... and have I really applied that much?"
turns out that what I was smelling was some middle-eastern guy who absolutely bathed himself in something with a similar rose and oud accord, but a much worse version that smelled almost putrid. a very strange experience. I wonder what fragrance it was

>>17787472
Encre Noire. Gucci Guilty Absolute

>>17788939
Yeah, love that guy Chris. He's my personal favorite when it comes to plowing tgirls. He gives appreciation to every little detail on the trans. She have nice big and puffy areolas? He gonna play with then. She got other kinks? He gonna do it. Based dude. He even cuddles with the tgirls after he cums in then, kiss them or play with they puffy nipples. Gives me some extra push to cum. Most male actors like Christianxxx or especially black male actors just fuck the tgirls like a cold ass statue, no emotions, no cuddles, hate those mofuckers.

Chanel Antaeus: really cool, but somehow fell out of love with it but don't wan to give it away either. Give me some occasions to wear it at... I find the flowery stuff mixes to a sort of synthetic disharmonic thing now, but it could also be the weather. Bought it in summer if that matters

Just ordered 15 samples for 70$ following the OP charts as a guideline (a lot of stuff on them wasn't available though). Is it diverse enough to get a gist of what aromas I prefer?

>>17788962
Christian XXX. That motherfucker. What a tool.

Christian, along with ultrafaggots such as American performer Tom Moore and Brazilian performer Alex Victor, took away the "everyman" aspect of shemale porn. No longer could the average viewer insert himself, so to speak, into the role of the "shocked but somewhat aroused man discovering that the woman of his dreams wasn't quite who he thought she was". No longer can a man watch professional, American shemale porn and discover the "mystique" that was once magnificently alluring in films from the past.

All the average viewer has to look forward to these days, is a bald, goofy-looking douchebag with a pathetic body from not doing proper lifting exercises, fucking shemales with the same, measured, uncharismatic strokes - and don't even get me started on his abhorrent "acting" - while he resembles that albino freak from the show Banshee.

Have I mentioned how dismal he is when playing the submissive role? God forbid he let an aroused, endowed transsexual go to town on him like they might a smaller, more normal-looking man being coerced or "forced" to take that role. Nooooo. It's the same, robotic, measured strokes once again as he lies there with that same, terminally-stupid look on his terminally-stupid face.

The only possible way Christian could even come close to redeeming himself for ruining American shemale porn for ever, is to glue a toupee to his stupid, bald head, sell absolutely everything he owns and fuck off to a Tibetan monastery for the rest of his days. Yeah. That might go some way towards redemption.

>>17789033
Thanks for the good laugh. Same thing i feel on that goofy faggot Christianxxx, he literally ruins every scene, even the ones on plumberpass. Nice chubby girls and that mofucker just fuck them without emotions, don't even touch the tits or play with pussy. Almost always the tgirl or chubby girl directly go over to blow him, then you're forced to watch close-up scenes of a blowjob. Also the blowjobs scenes are longer than the actual fucking. Such an unpleasant type of human being.
You're right, it takes away the moment to self insert into the male actor when the actor itself is an emotionless scum.
Felt the same way of Alex Victor. Back in time Nicole Bastiani was my holy grail of tgirl. She had only one scene and it was with Alex Victor, guess what, he completely ruined it.

>>17789031
Yes kind of, but remember that those are designer scents from the most part, so you are not getting the whole spectrum. But it's a good starting point

I would advise about going to stores first and then buying samples of the ones you liked more tho

>>17789069
It's difficult to catch second/third notes at a store, plus you don't have that much space on your hands, smells mix together, etc. That's why I thought it would be better to just order whatever is good in anon's opinion.

Ormonde Man - good or shit? Just ordered a sample. Never seen black hemlock used before

why does noone sell any valentino or guerlain samples...

>>17789131
valentino sucks too much ass for anyone to want to bother

Hey Anons, I've been seeing all the fragrance stuff on the board and I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on something. I read the sticky, don't worry. I'm a 19 year old male looking for a cold weather fragrance, never really worn them before so I'm not sure what I like. Looking for ideally less than $75. I just want to smell good and masculine that I'd wear whenever I'm going out somewhere besides work. Thanks.

>>17789072
Yes, it's true , but like , you can go, try them on bloaters and then sample the ones you liked most.

For example, fahrenheit is really linear, so is ombre leather , and so is le male. You don't really need much time to see how they develop

I just got a 100ml bottle of this on amazon for $15.
Am I going to smell like grandpa?

Do other anons also find it difficult to choose what frags to buy? I kinda know what I like, but I'm always somewhat divided into getting more artsy stuff (A City on Fire comes to mind) or getting mass pleasers (since I'm a 24 yo single man). Not that it needs to be Sauvage, of course, but even Sauvage would be considered unusual, here in Brazil the vast majority of people wear frags from local brands, namely Natura and O Boticário. At the same time, I don't wanna be hoarding frags, so I'm kinda picky about buying full bottles, though I own a few dozen samples.

>>17789676
ive been testing frags for almost 3 years now and I own no bottles. I've owned eros first, then sold it and bought sausage, then sold it and bought bois imperial, then sold it and bought cdg 2 man and pure Havane, then sold those and haven't had any for like a year. I just got a 10 dollar off PayPal coupon for fragrance net in my email, so I think I might buy azemour les orangers or Etruscan water

Has anybody tried these? Just received decants for these two.

The Matcha Latte is surprisingly not as sweet as the name implies, quite a well rounded rich tea scent. Something I'd use at home occasionally for the novelty, but not something I'd wear commonly because of how distinct it is

Jynx is surprisingly not as heavy or spicy as the description or packaging implies. The light floral touch was neat, though I could do without the calone imho, but that's supposed to just the in the top at least

Prissana fragrances smell all the same, they're focused on they animalic notes.

So what would you recommend me anon? Haxan was a gift from my ex , sauvage also a gift. I just want to stop smelling of something that reminds me of her

>>17790142
>I just want to stop smelling of something that reminds me of her
Embrace it

>>17790143
No

>>17790076
I look like this at 25, except my face is rather skinny. It sucks to exist..

I blind bought molecule 01+ patchouli for 85 euros/100ml

I loved patchouli and molecule 01.

How good did I do?

Do you guys have a box of condemned bottles or samples or do you just sell it off/bin it immediately?

>>17790237
I've never sold a sample, but I do give them away sometimes

>>17790237
>sample states that it is not for sale
>people sell samples for $5 on eBay
do these ever get bought? I don't quite get why you'd want a sample of a fragrance that can be tested at a store easily.

>>17790237
I store them

With some fragrances, 2ml is enough for life to scratch the itch. And if I finish it, I go either for a 5ml decant or the smallest bottle possible

>>17790285
Where can I test these at a store? All the fragrance stores look like they're for women, do they actually have men's stuff?

>>17789788
coke bloat

>>17790237
i have a big box with ~150 samples, most of them i bought to explore what the frag worlds has to offer (meaning with no plans to buy a decant/full bottle), still, they will last me for ever
i only gave away those of which i bought a full bottle to friends and family

>>17790060
check out Naxos and their top 3 frags from fragrantica you haven't tested yet (the way i and/or a filthy casual would do it desu)

>SOTD: ELDO Exit The King
interesting frag, the main notes are soap (top) and moss (base) with flowers in the middle, smells very clean, quite masculine to my nose, can be used year-round (maybe a bit less suitable for winter), performance is very good, a bit too synthetic smelling for my taste, but not bad by all means
>7,5/10
p.s.: "story" description from the house (it's not too bad desu):

It smells like pure sex bro. If you’re handsome and have your own vibe and find it easy to get women. Then it’s a perfect compliment. Also if you’ve been told you give off Bi vibes even better. (All these things ensure you get pussy easily) so ymmv

>>17790440
Thanks anon, safe for office wear or is the patchouli too hippie like?

Also, is the price adequate or can it go lower?

>>17790447
It’s pricey for how simple it is. Worth it if you love it though. You could wear it to the office, but its a little too informal imo, plus some people hate patchouli—though this one is super light and airy. I wear it at home and on weekends for comfort. Its so aromatic it can be used for room sprays too.

>>17790494
Thank you anon. Have you tried any others of the line? The molecule + something line. I saw the +mandarine one, but it sounds like it would smell too much like terre d'hermes

>>17790125
Spend it entirely on the newest Areej Le Dore releases.

>>17790496
>The biggest scammer on the internet

Great advice to that lost anon, good job

>>17790237
I've got a few condemned bottles that I'm gonna sell by now. Taste adjusted upon finding something better. Will get rid of them over the winter.
When it comes to samples, I either wear them until they are empty or give them away/swap them. No point in keeping stuff I don't like.

>>17789676
How's Natura? O Boticarios line-up was entirely mid when I tested them in Portugal. Zaad EdP was the best of them. A lot of sweet shit and obvious "clones" even though they are not really clones, like Malbec Noir - made by Ropion - which smelled just like Nuit d'Issey - made by Ropion.

>>17790495
I don’t like heavy citrus like TdH. I wish I did. The only other M01+ I want to try is the black tea but I’ve heard it has no projection or longevity. I mostly use M01 solo or layer with Sel Marin.

>>17788749
it's what the bottle used to look like. the bottle nowadays looks like in the OP chart.

Looking to buy some samples to expand my horizons, is Surrender to Chance a good place to get them?

You seem really knowledgeable, wondering if you (or anyone else with a good scent collection) could give me a recommendation.

I did a bunch of shrooms the other day, realized I need to grow up. I was planning on hopping trains following my masters (I’ve done it a couple times, wanted to go on a big trip), but I realized that I need to be supportive for my family as my mother goes through divorcing my stepdad, started dating a beautiful girl, and I’m applying for jobs with charities and government organizations in some big cities where I could have a major impact. I’m exercising again, eating better, gearing up to kick smokes again, just fixing my life up.

What perfume should I wear so I can always remember this time in my life when I’m becoming a man?

>>17790555
Sounds like you'd like a classic barbershop scent. Feel like a self-made 50s man.

Guys, is Jeremy... Ok???

blackpill me on black orchid

>>17790657
>Big egos, like gases, expand to fill the space others give them, and Tom Ford's name now takes top billing above the fragrance itself. Ford has even gone on record stating he considers Black Orchid a classic, as if the title were his to bestow. Black Orchid's idea, first seen a year earlier in Chanel's Allure Sensuelle, is in itself very interesting, a novel take on the androgynous style of Angel and its brood: take a typical Lauder heavy balsamic structure (Youth Dew, Spellbound), add to it a shining layer of fresh-watery notes, and connect the two by a light, dry cedarwood accord. But this cucumber-on-chocolate idea works better on a smelling strip than in real life. Black Orchid, despite its impressive stature, remains curiously anonymous in use, its soul seemingly insufficient to fill the opera gloves. The overall message is contradictory. On the one hand, the word black, omnipresent these days, coupled with orchid suggests a woman in her midthirties still wanting to scare her parents by appearing at the dinner table made up like Cleopatra. On the other hand, the, er, classy bottle is very 1976 Joan Collins. Perhaps, like most adolescent provocations, this is an homage, Ford's "Dear Mom" letter to the mainstream Lauder buyer.

>>17790664
>a woman in her midthirties still wanting to scare her parents by appearing at the dinner table made up like Cleopatra.
I know this woman.

Luca Turin, I am familiar. Is it your opinion as well? I got to say, I really do enjoy the scent but I am very skeptic if it is actually "usable", especially as a young 30yo man

I smelled the eau de parfum and loved it but idk what u guys think

>>17787981
A cheap feshie that gets compliments in hot weather would be light blue intense. If you're daring try Wanted by Azzaro.

When you test frags in store, test them on your skin and wear them for a day

>>17790808
Get decants of them all. The EDT is still god tier but you might like something else.

>>17790512
I'm not really big on national frags but the last I've heard is that while O Boticário frags are becoming increasingly weaker in performance, Natura is getting a bigger share of the market (at least as far as fragheads are concerned) and are more creative. I remember having sampled Kaiak Aero, which was hyped on Facebook groups are being unique and interesting with a prominent rhubarb note, but it wasn't for me. For being such a warm country, we don't get that many interesting summertime frags, desu. I've also tried Homem Verum (actually I've ownd a bottle of it but have sold it sold) , which people seem to get a note of cannabis from, but wasn't the case for me, I just got a kinda pleasing, sweet frag (comparisons are made with CH Men, which are fair, and maybe they have biased my perception, don't know) and Homem Essence, which seems to be rather original, I currently have a bottle of it but I almost never use it. It's rather aromatic and smells good and everything but I don't really love it.

>>17789693
I've sold and purchased several bottles in the past, a lot of which I've regretted selling. I'm currently sitting at around 10 but those totally aren't the best of all the ones I've had at some point.

What are the best musks? I'm looking for something like a modern day Jovan musk. Not too sweet, not too clean, not too animalic

>>17790285
I buy them when none of the stores around me carry the brand. And even if they do, they'd be in niche boutiques that never carry sample vials. Even more so when no one reliable is decanting it, so 2ml are just about enough most of the time
Living in a third world country kind of sucks

According to ChatGPT:
>In summary, the main differences between body spray and cologne are their fragrance concentration, purpose, and application. Cologne offers a more intense but shorter-lived scent and is often used for special occasions, while body spray provides a milder, longer-lasting fragrance suitable for daily use. The choice between the two depends on personal preference, occasion, and the desired level of fragrance intensity.
So why shouldnt I just use body spray instead if its going to last longer? I have to keep reapplying my cologne through out the day. Anyone here have experience with using body spray instead of regular colognes?

Been wearing Nishane Colognise for a while now, excellent summer fragrance. Smells like a mix of Acqua Di Parma, the jasmine from Eau Sauvage and Mugler Cologne. Impressive longevity, lasts 12 hours on me in the 100 degree heat. Decent projection but that works for me since I'm not trying to fill the room. Smells very soft and natural as well, I'm sure there's a ton of aromachemicals in there but they are well blended and aren't disruptive by standing out. I wouldn't pay full price but you can easily find it for $60-100 and at that price point I'd argue it eclipses any comparable scent in that genre until you get to higher end niche. Don't know what it's not discussed more here

>>17790681
>whatever doesn’t, tom ford certainly does

I just tried Tom Ford Cafe Rose and quite liked it. What would you recommend instead?

>>17790865
I remember my first job at a dollar store by a ferry terminal, every time we got a huge crowd of international tourists in, South Asian dudes would clean our entire fucking stock of 2$ perfumes to resell back home. Full ass cart.

I can't even imagine how much money they made for how god awful those scents were.

i asked it for the differnces between body spray and cologne, you cant tell me that the answer for that question is pOzZeD

>>17790933
It's half right. Is this ChatGPT 3.5?

I wouldn't call body sprays longer lasting in any sense, unless you're including antiperspirants, as antiperspirants keep you from smelling sweaty all day.
Body sprays themselves barely last at all.

Don't you remember how gyms in highschool would fucking blast of Axe and then it would mostly clear out in like, 10-15 minutes? They're front loaded as fuck.

Cologne has become a catch-all men's term but it basically means it's lighter than Toilette or Parfum. Parfum is super concentrated and will definitely last you all day.

Got disposable income and am looking to cop a discontinued fragrance from one of those companies that attempt to make clones of them. What should I get? I'm a 19yo college dude in a blisteringly hot state and I want something the Stacies will go crazy for on me

>>17791194
the only fragrance you should own to attract "Stacies" isn't discontinued because it's Dior Sauvage. Try and prove me wrong.

>>17791212
It's played out

>>17791213
elaborate? my college roommate's only frags are Dior Sauvage, Polo Green and Polo Blue and I went with him to a party. one of the frat dudes literally said he's never seen so many women obsess over one man before (my roommate) and he was wearing Sauvage that day. that's real proof right there.

>>17791194
Well the website I'm looking at only has discontinued fragrances, so what of them should I cop? It's basically a free bottle so I want to get at least something

>>17791218
Anon, he didn't have women obsess over him because he was wearing Sauvage, it's because they found him attractive.

>Anon, he didn't have women obsess over him because he was wearing Sauvage, it's because they found him attractive.
I'm not attractive but the scents I put on can certainly help move the needle in a positive direction and I really need all the help I can get here

>>17791222
discontinued frag guy here, It's Fragrance Revival, the website is just those two words and ends in .com

>>17791224
Anon, they really don't, it's better than smelling bad, but women really aren't going to be swayed by how good you smell.

>>17790933
a body spray isn't going to last longer. it's the opposite, in fact
also, "eau de cologne" is the lowest concentration of fragrance. you should look for eau de toilette, eau de parfum or parfum if you want better performance
>>17791119
kind of but way worse. because you get nonsense like this that no one checked and no human brain could have come up with

>>17791126
no, that means your nose is working. calone-based aquatics are fucking boring and cheap smelling

>>17791309
Man that fucking sucks. Especially when you find an interesting fragrance composition that actually smells nice when you actively pick out the notes, only to have overbearing ambroxan and/or calone bogging everything down in the first 30 minutes

>>17791239
because the idea of releasing a completely new fragrance under the same name is ridiculous and confusing. especially when the original is already well-known

>>17791239

>>17791393
did he intentionally spray it into the room and not apply it to himself at all?

I know pretty much nothing about fragrances but i want to up my scent game.
How do you guys go about pairing anti-perspirant with your cologne? I usually wear the dove clean smell anti-perspirant. Can I wear that and a cologne at the same time or what? Also what are your guys thoughts on pic related?

>>17791505
Wondering the same as well because I sweat east (140 pounds, not fat at all) and “need” anti perspirant

Kek, those pseudo intellectuals, nothing worse being one or surrounded by them(smells like Bleu de Chanel). The fucking middle / higher middle class. Glad that i'm a Gladiator now, living for gaining muscles and procreation, instead of too much talk and useless digital shit.
>Sotd Cool Water

I want a sweet lavender focused fragrance on a budget and I've round it out to: Versace the dreamer, d&g pour homme and Le male. I've never tried the dreamer but from ppl on here I've heard it smells synthetic and it has iris which I don't like as a note. Between d&g and Le male I kinda prefer le male but the fag bottle really prevents me from pulling the trigger.

So why is d&g never talked about? I t seems like a great fragrance for the price at 40$. It's a nostalgic and yet somehow modern scent, cheaper than le male with a similar scent profile. If there's anything else like this in this price range but better I'm open to suggestions.
