Very based taste, OP

How do I use a fragrance enhancer?
Do I spray it or the main frag first? Let dry between or just spray on right after?

Acqua di gio PROFUMO
All I need

Has anybody here tried selling decants and can share their experience? I've seen a bunch of people offering them on ebay and etsy. Thinking about buying a bunch of perfumes that interest me, offering decants online and see how it goes.

Any actual fragrances that use this shit?

>>17791693

which long lasting fragrance literally smells like sex to woman?

>>17791711
my favorite smell in the world

Do you guys know of any incense fragrances that aren't church incense? I'm looking for more of a hippie head shop with the incense at the door and the wafts going through the store.

Thoughts on Dior Homme Intense for a Fall/Winter frag?

>>17791742
2005 Dior Homme is much superior, DHI is nice also. new bottles are watered down (because why not)

>>17791711
>Afnan His Higness Green
Smells like your douchey uncle visiting your family gathering after his gym session without showering but heavily overspraying Drakkar Noir.

>>17791757
Hmm if i could get DHI 100ml for 60 bucks should i pull the trigger?

>>17791711
Night from Akro, read the reviews

>>17791741
>incense fragrances that aren't church incense
Breath of God for a smoky hippie fragrance, Dior Homme Sport 2020 literally is incense but in fresh.

>>17791761
Yes

>>17791785
Aight

Do I pull the trigger anons.

I don't really like Ecuacion's decants for such high quality stuff like Loup but well, what can I do about it. It's either that or going for the 400€/30ml bottle that I will never finish in my life.

>>17791758
>>17791776
what a fucking clown

>>17791787
Dior homme intense is probably one of my favourite fragrances ever, if not my favourite, and im quite deep into the fragrance rabbit hole. I tried hundreds of fragrances and I still think it's at least top 3 of everything that I tried.

>>17791758
would wife that first girl

>>17791790
Chypre-Siam is a beautiful fragrance but if you're a man you'll smell like an old lady from the 1930s

Is he wearing a fragrance or do they just stare because buff muscledude?

>>17791806
They're staring because they find him attractive.

>>17791802
Yeah and its quite powdery, and the lime mixed in with it kind of makes it smell "old", It makes me think of those two old women in Grey Gardens. I'm not very good at explaining it. It doesn't smell unpleasant but I'd def sample it first

>>17791791
Stop seething and buy that animalic leathery fougere
>>17791806
Both

>>17791761
sounds like a decent deal. it's a good fragrance, but try before buying

>>17791814
I have a decant of it, and I love it. But I get what you mean , it can definitely lean feminine.

But well, I wear fracas as a man so I don't really mind

>>17791791
For real.

Why does this smell better than the original?
How does the sand negros keep getting away with this?

>>17791990
Most niche brands are a fraud. They selling designer level juice for premium prices.

My Dior Homme Intense EDP is arriving in a couple hours. Yes, I blind bought the bottle as many are praising this as the GOAT of designers.

>>17791639
Why are you wearing fragrance?

>>17791668
If it's oil, put oil first then fragrance. I don't know other enhanchers or wrf you're calling them

>>17792012
I love it but prepare to be dissappointed

>>17791990
Because it's not even similar to the original, only the fucking bottle.

Also kilian sucks

>>17792016
I think he means fixative primers. I've seen people selling ambroxan, musk or iso-e roll-ons or sprays that you're supposed to use underneath whatever frag you're putting on

>>17791790
Loup shouldn't be so good but it is. The fucking castoreum note in that is fucking addictive.

Any other fragrances with real castoreum?

Just got a decant of this. Smells like a doctors office but in a good way? It's odd thats for sure

>>17792093
abdes sells castoreum tincture

Drunkenly impulse-bought the MFK women’s sample set for my gf. It comes with:

Amyris femme
À la rose
724
Gentle fluidity silver
gentle Fluidity gold
Petit Matin
Grand Soir
Baccarat Rouge 540

For the extra two I had no idea what to pick but I went with BR540 extrait, and Oud silk mood. Did I fuck up?Neither of us have smelled any of these scents before.

>>17792146
They are great and she will love it. Good choice

>>17792109
I really like Ganymede, very clean and unique smell. Haven't got around to buying a bottle yet though.. might be a Christmas gift to myself.

>>17792152
Thanks homie, looking forward to it

>>17792146
lol what a fucking idiot

What fragrances include heavy marine elements? I want to smell like a fisherman

Bought a bottle of One Man Show Gold because why the fuck not. Makes me almost want to laugh when I smell it, this stuff is outrageously brash and sleaze-core. Which kind of person could actually pull this off without smelling like a walking sexual assault lawsuit?

Tonka bean, destroyer of fragrances

Testing out a couple cold weather frags.
>Les Indomie - Vanille Havane
This is really, really good. Spicy, boozy tobacco that doesn’t give you a toothache like Herod does. You can smell different facets whenever you take a sniff up close. Sometimes booze, sometimes tobaccoey goodness. Also fucking expensive. 9/10
>Amouage - Jubilation XXV
Mostly dark, dry wood with a dark fruity opening (blackberry juice comes to mind) and some smoke in the background. Good, but not that impressive. 7/10

>>17792221
imaginary authors - every storm s serenade
opening is kinda ointment-y but past that it’s as fisherman-esque as it gets

>>17792227
I seem to remember the gay dragon reviewed it and basically came to the same conclusion.

How are the f batches of aventus

Just started my collection a few months ago and so far I have eight fragrances.

I’ve got to say Viktor and Rolf Spicebomb original is still actually my favorite. Smells like a burst of cinnamon, freshly ground pepper, and citrus rind. Recommend it to anyone.

>>17792076
It really does smell like makeup... not sure if I like it as yet...
>>17792271
snicebomb is good, prefer it over extreme which smells like a generic vanilla scent

>>17791806
do you typically pick up scents with your eyes? If not then it's probably the tightness of his shirt

>>17792109
opening is wet cement mix. Later it becomes woody floral

>>17792238
You mean calone and ambroxan

>>17792188
Neat you got both BC540 versions, they are quite different, Extrait being more bitter and warmer. Interesting to compare. I recently got my gf the full EDP, loves it.

>>17792221
Oud Minérale
>>17792238
Right, Tonka ruines most fragrances makes them too sweet.
>>17792291
The calone in Every Storm a Serenade is amazing. And the Ambroxan in Aventus or Polo Cologne is great too.
Especially Ambroxan is mostly blended a disgusting grapefruit/apple-tonka-candyish vetiver way(bdc, invictus, ssuvage), but the ingredient Ambrox as it gets smells actually good.

>>17792221
Megamare

Does it make sense to buy Bois imperial if I already own Ganymede?

>>17792146
MFK frags are good in general, but most of them are a bit bland and playing it safe desu

Do you guys ever worry about the kinds of shit companies put in their fragrances

>>17792524
no, not really
if i were you i'd rather worry about the shit companies put in my food/drink

>>17792527
Why not all three though?
Decided to stop spraying frags on sensitive areas often and keep it mostly to clothes these days

>>17792528
IFRA is there for (over)regulation, i don't use the same frag all the time, i spray sparingly (mostly on my hand/chest) so the risk is very low
i could also worry about the impending alien invasion but that's just silly imo

>>17792524
Yeah which is why I spray it on my shirt, eventually going to move to natural fragrance, but I'm kinda addicted to the ones I have now and can't stop wearing them.

>>17792468
Yes, while similar they are not redundant.

Better question, will it be an overpriced shit?

>>17792646
his shit was alwayss overpriced garbage

Fragrances that smell like embarrassing failure? Perhaps that coward, the rheinmetall german, can chime in on this after he gets done selling shitty steel to the brits?

>>17792646
Oldschool rose patchouli like giorgio for men, calling it now.

>>17792271
Its a pretty droll perfume actually.

is this better than BDC as a daily fragrance?

>>17792659
bdc is more uptight imo
that one is more of an everyday scent to me yeah

>>17792659
Neither are particularly artful perfumes, you can do better.

>>17792662

>>17792659
I think it's overrated. the whole line is desu. I unironically think BdC is better if you want the primo goyslop

>>17792664
Good grief, No.

>>17792652
Lmao, the whole modern middle, higher middle class smell like failure. Average wage slaving male in the west is softer and without integrity like the average women.
Scents like that Bleu de Chanel, Sauvage, Erba Pura, Eros, Y Ysl, Elysium, Apex you name it, scents in that ballpark.

The based boomer father with Gucci Nobile or Drakkar Noir on, successfully build a company and hand it over to his zoomer son. That incompentent zoomer son, smelling like a concoction of ambroxan, tonka and candied vetiver literally ruins a multi million dollar worth company into oblivion.

Fixed bro.

>>17792885
Part 2

>>17791639
On September 17, 1986, my near-lifeless body was dropped off at the Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage, California. Stocky orderlies scooped me up and dragged me down a hallway as crowds of zoned-out patients gazed on. Even in my incoherent, skeletal state, I could feel their pain. I too was an addict. Only instead of popping pills or snorting powder, my addiction -nay, my abusive overlord- was "Drakkar Noir."

It started innocently enough. When I first sprayed "Drakkar Noir" on my wrists one autumn day in 1983. I began wearing the scent to my job as a Hollywood car phone salesman and was amazed at the compliments. In the span of one week, I was propositioned by an assistant sound technician from "Three's Company" and a fine woman who may or may not have been Mrs. Garrett from "The Facts of Life" (a gentleman never kisses and tells). Soon I was wearing "Drakkar Noir" when no one else was around. Before long, I had crafted a make-shift pump system in my shower that dispensed the fragrance in the place of water. I smelled amazing and alive, but in my soul, I was anything but.

I had placed myself on an IV that delivered a constant feed of "Drakkar Noir" into my bloodstream. It was the only way I could stave off both severe nausea and the sense that I was somehow not a worthy person unless I reeked of lavender and bergamot. My friends had done everything they could, from smashing the crates of "Drakkar Noir" in my garage to pleading with me to at least switch to the less toxic "Brut." I refused. And I paid the price. Jesus Christ had not forsaken me, but it sure felt like Guy Laroche had.

Addiction recovery is a slow process. Do not let anyone tell you differently. During the year I spent in the clinic, I had to confront a new demon each time they reduced my "Drakkar Noir" intake by one bottle. Suffice it to say, "Drakkar Noir" is an addictive scent. It is an otherworldly scent. But we must remember to be humble and enjoy what we enjoy in moderation.

>>17792888
refund the mont blanc explorer if you can, it actually makes me want to puke, i wouldn’t even give it away because its so bad, im gonna dispose of it one day, full bottle too

fellas, is l’air des alpes suisses very loud? i think i might have gone overkill with 5 sprays…

>>17792646
lol those bottles with the crimped atomizers are so shitty. I come up on his YouTube shorts sometimes and the comments are always filled with pajeets shitting on him for his cheap packaging and calling him a pedo for some reason

>>17792976
haha, 2-3 sprays would be enough but it's a 10/10 frag so you'll be fine

>>17792991
You used the picture I posted that one time. This made my evening, mate.

>>17792991
yeah i’m getting the itching feeling that i oversprayed. i should have taken the eau de parfum label more seriously.

>>17792646
is cocaine a specific fragrance note?

>>17792996
whatever, it's great and now others will also smell it, whether they want that or not is not relevant
you should also wear a Tauer t-shirt or something like that for maximum impact

>>17792994
cheers, mate!

>>17792997
yes, it's in the ever-popular Tuscan Leather

>>17793010
oh shit, i forgot about that
yeah, then my vote goes to cocaine (but Jeremy will call it leather or something like that anyway)

If this is the heiress of Sauvage (from France), what would the heiress of Eau Sauvage look like?

>>17793020
>pic related

Testing "the one for him edt" from d&g. Sweet, citrusy, a bit choking smell. That's about it. How do you even tell what notes there are? I see the end result, but can't tell what it consists of at all, even when told that there's cedar and ginger I can't "feel" them independently.

>>17793040
that's the kind of fragrance where it's hard to say because they're all blended and abstracted. notes aren't objective, but you can train your nose to sniff out the commonalities between fragrances, such as ginger or whatnot

it's a designershart you aren't supposed to smell anything specific you are supposed to smell sweet yum yum mmmm sweet yum yum smell so good :) girls like me maybe???
there's only a few designer fragrances that smell like something other than ambroxan or generic ambers and those are remainders from decades prior

>>17792652
>Fragrances that smell like embarrassing failure?
Whatever the insides of a T-55 smells like, of which multiple have been splattered across the battlefields already (in the current year).

I wish she has a dick, i would go on a 1 month trip on nofap, only to blast my loaded Semencanon into her bussy.
>>17792860
Best fougere ever created. I wish there is a niche version of it with better longevity out there.

>>17793078
Well, at least I can compare that to a cheapass avon alpha that I usually use, and it's already better. And I still have 14 frags to try out.

When is the first MFK Dior frag coming out in their pleb line?

>>17793146
You mean Dior homme cologne? In 2007

>>17793117
first time I hear of this, but that cap is ridiculous, as is the chess theme. is it just another pseudo-luxury brand in the vein of Xerjoff or PdM?

>>17793084
>Best fougere ever created. I wish there is a niche version of it with better longevity out there.

Apparently it was reformulated, and is now much weaker, but in its original form in the 80s it was strong and long lasting.

Only wish it had a prettier bottle, but the look is as iconic as the scent is so it'll probably never be changed.

>>17793178
Its a niche brand that has a line of fragrances all centered around a chess theme. I haven't smelled any others from them but this one smells very good, but its quite strong. I believe all of their scents are extrait de parfum.

>>17793117
this is fucking gay as shit goddamn

>>17793080
Probably smells like statistical illiteracy

>>17793078
This, why can't normies understand that the point of fragrances is not to smell good or even enjoy fragrances but to develop taste and appreciate fecal and urinary undertones?
The point is not to enjoy a thing but be superior for developing better taste

>>17793323
same here, been using native unscented stick deodorant for 2 years now

>>17793336
it's somewhat feminine, but definitely not to a restrictive degree. this one really escapes the distinction imo. haven't sampled another 13, sorry
>>17793347
I had the same thought, it's almost annoyingly subtle

>>17793336
another 13was so boring i cant recall

I love the scent of drakkar noir, but the longevity is shit. It's completely gone in a couple hours.

I have a vintage bottle of Fahrenheit from the 90s my dad used to wear. that's the only cologne I own and I never wear it.

alright winter is over in the southern hemisphere, and i need a new spring fragrance <$100. it's already 23 degrees out today

For me it's club de NUT
Zesty smelling nigga for a good price

Bros, I went to the mall today and tried out scents for legit an hour. I tried Savauge, Chanel, Le Homme, all the Polos, Burberry, etc. I was expecting to like Sausage the most or maybe the Bleu Chanel, but I liked the Le Male Elixir Jean Paul Gaultier the best. I bought some samples so I’ll try actually wearing Dior and Savage etc but just by sampling I liked picrel the best. Any thoughts?

>>17793526
evidently you’re gay

>>17793531

>>17792247
Tried Ambre Supreme today and it’s a banger. Strong marine, mineral, kinda salty ambergris. Has some added nuances but it’s all about that sweet, sweet whale vomit. Also pretty damn expensive. 9.25/10

Is there an actually good perfume finder? Fragrantica seems to simply suggest popular fragrances despite them not being related at all.

Got molecule+ patchouli. Beautiful fresh, green comforting, patchouli.

Reminds me to tempo by Dyptique, one if my favourites ever, but greener and more comforting.

9/10

Got the maison alhambra clone of profondo. Smells great, 1:1 clone from what I remember of the OG. I used to wear and really like cool water, it was my signature scent pretty much and this is a more sophisticated, nicer version of it, that is also cheaper.

Please rec me some fresh fruit/citruses but with actual longevity
I really like Imagination and Sunrise on the red sand dunes, but longevity is abysmal. Looking for something creamy, masculine but leaning unisex is fine too. I don't like DHS

>>17793992

>>17794009
Verbena by L'erbolario. It's leaning unisex though

opinions?

>>17791741
Interlude Man by Amouage or any frag inspired by it.

>>17794017
Because it's never the same thing. Also, the original adg is also a bad purchase

>>17794055
copium... Do a blind test sometime, they are the same.

>>17794065
I have some clones, some are better than the originals and some are way worse. But most likely the latter

Well, whatever difference there is, it doesn't justify the price difference. Here in the case of jorge vs adg, the difference is undetectable to my nose, if there is any it's under 10%. I don't even care if it's 1:1, it's a very nice, mass appealing, luxurious smelling, yet cheap aquatic fragrance with some salty notes, which is what I wanted to get.

i wear Drakkar Noir today (bought a small bottle for shits and giggles) - i tried this a few times before but it always smelled synthetic and cheap
now somehow it clicked and even with the current formulation i think it's pretty good
question: how similar is it to Rogue Bon Monsieur?

>>17794083
You do you if you like it enjoy it

>>17794033

pour monsieur is easily the best of those 3, even it /frag/ will never admit it

What is the current formulation of Antaeus like?

Ive been wearing hwyl for a few years and want to swap to something else performance isnt that amazing and im going off the sharpness.

I've tried about 20 test strips over the last few months at perfume shops (only stuff I liked not loved was grey vetiver/ eau de minthé). Ive also bought samples of encre noir/extreme (one smelled cheap the other smells generic), tobacco vanille (too sweet), tobacco oud (reminds me of my grandfather who smoked cigars in a bad way), musk deer ( not me but good).

the only things ive liked enough to buy are tf oudwood/ thameen carved oud (200-300 is a rough deal).

Any other samples I should try before pulling the trigger?

there is an excellent joke built into wearing cool water i find so entertaining that i’m willing to tell the joke myself by wearing it

>>17794114

What you mean performance isn't amazing, it was on my wanting to buy list

Why do people say that using more sprays increases the longevity of a fragrance? I get that the initial projection might be bigger, but the molecules are going to evaporate at the same rythm, it's not going to last longer doesn't matter if you bath in it

>>17794187
what's the joke :3

Have you guys ever experienced one of your favorite fragrances discontinue? What did you replace it with? Do you still have it?

As you will be able to tell, I'm new to this.
Currently owned:
- Str8 Red Code (1st frag, I picked it because I use the same deodorant lmao)
- Aromas Artesenales:
- Tineo
- May Him 2022
- Llanes
- Sunrise On The Red Sand Dunes Zara
-
Wishlist:
- Egoiste Platinum Chanel
- Dior Sauvage clones:
- Reyane Tradition Gentle Elsatys /
- Yodeyma Caribbean
- December him 2021
- CK One Shock For Him Calvin Klein
- Dior Homme
- Encre Noire Lalique
- Encre Noire Sport Lalique
- Encre Noire A L'Extreme Lalique
- Jaguar For Men Oud Jaguar
- Zara Oud Vibrant Leather

Which ones (from my wishlist) would your argue for or against? I want to have something for autumn/winter.
Also, I don't suppose anyone has experience with Aromas Artesenales frags? They're a small euro store with "inspired" perfumes, as in copies.

>>17794114
>>17794191
Ironically, after getting through half a bottle it's actually a bit too sweet for me and I'd like something even drier.

>>17791683
it can't be that good right...

>>17794263
Dior homme, channel egoiste yes . Encre Noire try before buying.

The rest , don't. Maybe vibrant leather oud, but the performance is shit.

Also you wrote aromas artesanales wrong twice. And no, don't bother with dupes. There are really nice original and cheap fragrances out there that you don't need to rely on them , but if you want , go for "la botica de los perfumes" really nice stuff and really cheap .

>>17794064
>>17794019
Thanks
I've seen CAHSEE recommended too how is it

>>17794280
pretty good but nothing out of this world, it's also a tonka bomb so avoid it if that's something you don't like

>>17794245
it’s one of the most ubiquitous, overcopied, and overdone fragrances in existence. and yet, despite it all, it’s still incredibly clever and effective, and above all smells great. by wearing it next to grand old classics or artisanal niche releases, there’s a sense of joy in the mundane and the everyday (as opposed to the rare and hard-to-find) that it brings with it, which is a joke worth telling.

>>17794287
I think there's tonka in Imagination and its zara clone so no, that's fine
I'm mainly looking for a creamy citrus with good performance, that's it

>>17794270
>>17794270

I prefer Vibrant Leather (no oud) more, but after trying it at the store it was literally gone, no smell remaining after I came home. Oud stayed a little longer but yeah, its performance ain't too good.
As for those nice, original and cheap fragrances, does anything come to mind considering my picks? 100ml of Egoiste is 10% of my monthly earnings, and while I'll certainly buy some high-performing frag for dates or important events, I would prefer to have a cheap seasonal pick base before that.
As for "la botica de los perfumes", we don't have that here. I'm from Poland.

>>17794291
CAHSEE performs well on my skin (lasts for a day), but your mileage may vary

>>17794292
Check Jeanne en Provence, Cool water line , Montblanc fragrances, náutica voyage, Versace Dylan blue...

>>17794292
>>17794263
good:
>Encre Noire and all flankers. Extreme is my favorite. Sport smells great, but performs badly.
>Egoiste Platinum
>Dior Homme

okay:
>CK One Shock

I haven't tried the others. If you like Platinum Egoiste, you could try Lalique Pour Homme. It smells more more old school / traditional, but does have some similarities with that aromatic top and creamy sandalwood base.
And I recommends Burberry London instead of CK One Shock. Or Oud Malaki if you can test it somewhere. Jeanne en Provence Neroli Intense and Acqua are worth grabbing for warm weather if you're on a tight budget, they are very cheap.

>>17794220
I really like it still I just want a change.

Its just average in terms of silage/wear, at the end of the day it wasnt all thier but you could still smell it skin level but I do get pretty nose blind. You can still smell it the day after on old clothes etc. I think I bought it when it was 80 now its 110.

Can you recommend me something non-autistic that I can wear all year round for any occassion and doesn't last 5 minutes.

>>17794185
nice bait
>>17794263
i recommend acquiring taste before you buy stuff from your wishlist

>>17794313
Dior Sauvage unironically, it's the least autistic/most normie frag ever, you can also wear it year-round

>>17794112
Drakkar Noir, Platinum Egoiste, Jules > Anateus, Pour Monsieur,Egoiste
>>17794114
Long lasting nearly pure leather scent. Love it, it's rugged and masculine, not too faggy smooth like Tom Ford leather scents.

>>17794112
you know, I've never liked Egoiste. something in it just bugs me, it's oddly challenging. I do like the other two though

>>17794317
So far I'm working of fragrantica's reviews and notes (what sounds like I'd like), so I have to burn myself first by buying shit frags to develop taste, no?
>>17794308
Thanks for the recs. I'll consider Burberry London, since Zara's Sunrise On The Red Sand Dunes is my favourite frag so far and they seem similar enough (same with Neroli). Since I yet lack the proper nomenclature to describe how I feel about it, i'll just call it... fresh.
>>17794307
I'll check out Montblanc and Jeanne en Provence, Cool Water and Voyage don't seem like my kind of thing. Thanks!

>>17794372
>so I have to burn myself first by buying shit frags to develop taste, no?
no, you go to stores and try as much as you can and then you buy decants

Femanons only, why are only 34% of young women single while 63% of young men are single?
What is happening?

>>17794372
>I'll consider Burberry London
I meant London For Men btw. I wouldn't describe it as fresh, more of a "mulled wine and cigars" type of comfy winter scent

>>17794260
Yes, and it wasn't even an old one or particularly niche one. It was Nuit d'Issey Noir Argent. A sub-30$ bottle of something easily wearable daily, yet unique and absolutely not worn by anyone else. My bottle is long empty.
It has been replaced by nothing. The regular Nuit d'Issey is sweet fruity shit in comparison, the Parfum has vanilla, which Noir Argent distinctively lacks and absolutely doesn't need. Haven't found something comparable yet. It was made by Ropion and somehow it was an original thought from him, so I expect the DNA to emerge in 2-3 years in something """niche""" at 548534895347956x the price.
Gonna text Shiseido if they will make another batch or whatever.

>>17791776
Oof

>>17794323
i can tell by the GHOULISH hag you just posted that your opinion is worth jack and shit.

>>17794389

Yes , text them on WhatsApp faggot

>>17794399
stop replying to the coomer mutt

>>17794400
Did it on Instagram but yeah whatever.

hello ambroxan fiends of /frag/
please watch some reviews from /ourguys/ persolaise and pep (scentinel) in order to acquire the je ne sais quoi known as 'taste'.

>>17794389
>>17794410
go tell them to bring back nombre noir while they’re at it

>>17794413
Ambroxan smells actually good, it's the faggy combination like in Bdc or Sauvage that give it a bad reputation.

>>17794422
no one asked, coomer mutt

>>17794185
performance is about the same/worse but comme des garcons monocle hinoki has been my go to for years and always felt like a "better" hwyl to me ever since aesop came out with it

>>17791741
Eau des baux

>>17794482
I like it but too much vanilla.

>>17794049
too resinous and dark. I'm looking for incense with light smoke. Most of the churchy incenses like Avignon just smell like an old cedar chest to me

Finished another bottle of New York Intense today. It's probably my 5th or 6th finished bottle of it. Seriously considering buying a 250ml. In other news, it's been three weeks but I still haven't heard back from Areej Le Dore about $1550 I spent on his newest collection kek.

>>17794494
if you’re burning through that many bottles of it so quickly, you may as well save a little extra and buy the biggest bottle they have. i know the PdN boutiques in paris have 400ml ones on display for specific fragrances, but i doubt they’d sell that onlinr.

>>17794494
Damn, I really hope you make profit out of it. But my hate for russian Adam is increasing with every shit I see from him.

Also, thanks for shilling new York intense.

By the way, I'm going to order some stuff and 5ml decants of things by prin. Any recommendations from any of his stuff?

I just sold my 150ml bottle of club de unit intense pure Parfum and instantly bought a 30ml bottle of Targhee forest .

How well am I doing

>>17794508
Thargee Forest is a classical flowery chypre like aromatics elixir

>>17794512
>aromatics elixir
>flowery
what in the fuck

SOTE: Dusita Oudh Infini. I typically use it for layering when I want to add some depth, warmness and funk to other fragrances but this time I just sprayed it 5 times as in staying home tonight. There’s some fine pleasure to smelling like a shit. Just like catching a whiff of girls ass when you’re both sweaty and fucking rough doggy style. I also tested my remaining samples of Apoteker Tepe: Holy Mountain, After the Flood, Brother Night and Karasa. It’s a very solid brand and there was some intelligence put into every fragrance. E.g. Holy Mountain would be a rather routine Incense conifer representative of the Norne/Incendo/Fume genre but camomile note makes it stand out. Karasa is a great paper iris Oud fragrance. After The Flood is an aquatic made in Gardoni’s Bogue style but it’s not taking things as far as Doleurs (and it’s the most unusual Apoteker scent).
>>17794501
It was a 30ml this time as I was traveling a lot of it and they’re just perfectly sized but overall I typically finish a few bottles over summers. This time pic related plus quite big dents made in a handful of other bottles.
>>17794506
>Prin
Mriga, Haxan (it getting discontinued); Ma Nishtana are musts from Prin/Prissana. I also enjoyed Savitri, Anatolia, Mongolian Mriga and too many Strangers to name them. Tomorrow I’m going to wear my Chetyre sample. I’m curious how he has done in a classical Cuir de Russie theme. But probably nailed it as the man is a genius.

Hey good smelling souls with good sensual magic, help Slavs migrate.

Thanks anon, I will ask for samples of those, im considering blind buying varuek, but I know it's retarded and I wouldn't do it from anyone that is not prin, because I generally love his stuff, have you tried that one?

>>17794556
>varuek, but I know it's retarded and I wouldn't do it from anyone that is not prin, because I generally love his stuff, have you tried that one?
I haven't. But people claim it is similar to Arsalan that I have. The opening of Arsalan was one of the most hardcore things I have tried; the intense body odor note mixed with spices that smell like coming back in a crowded bus full of indian physical workers on a hot day. After the opening it was an absolutely stunning fragrance though. It has the best done tumeric note that I can think of and the gardenia+jasmine accord is really rich. Some funk still lingers around but it's not a hardcore BO-funk from the opening.

I happened to find an old sample of Mitsouko extract a friend gifted me while rummaging through my wardrobe, and I have to say, it still smells like something a granny would wear to a family reunion
This could only work on either old fogeys, sophisticated dandy men or total faggots

>>17794544
EMIYA would be the kind to wear TdH

>>17794413
thanks for the inspo, watching scentinel rn

I have 500$ burning a hole in my pockets and I have 0 fragrances. What should I buy?
t. young white male

>>17794582
Tauer ACDD and LADAS
Rouge Mousse Illuminee or Bon Monsieur
New York Intense

you are welcome

>>17794565
that applies to the vast majority of instances of men wearing feminine fragrance. who would have thought that feminine perfume requires a base level of refinement and elegance to pull off?

>>17794431
ill give it a shot ty

This exceeded my expectations, one of the best patchoulis I've ever tried.

Thanks for the anon that sparked my interest in it

>>17794582
This anon has based reccs >>17794587

is it heresy to say i prefer LADDM to ACDD? i found ACDD too dense and linear.

>>17794648
no it isn't
they are two sides of the same coin, both 10/10

>>17794648
They are essentially the same fragrance , it's a matter of preference

>>17794648
No heresy. I personally find LDDM too vanillic but it’s the slightly more complex fragrance of the two. Agreed.

>>17794563
I'm this deep in this rabbit hole that your description of the opening made me wanna buy a decant of that one.

Like for me it's either varuek or loup, but for the price of loup I could two of their regulars...

Ma nishtana, I love the opening a lot but the drydown is too smoky/woody for me and much less interesting. Have you tried anything by him that has also incense but doesn't develop into that burning wood dryness? Or just any of his other works with incense?

>>17794506
sohrab

How much am I going to have to shell out to get my hands on this now that it's sold out?

>>17794671
There was one interesting incense fragrance from Prin that I don't remember the name now. It had an opium note and strong aldehydic punch making somewhat similar to Kouros.
>>17794753
It's still available almost everywhere. I talked with Prin about the discontinuation and he wrote me that the reason is that he cannot source good goat hair anymore but also still has ca. 1year worthy of bottles for sale.

>>17794762
>but also still has ca. 1year worthy of bottles for sale
The website says they're sold out, is he just going to do batches? Is that what the whole "gold cap" thing is?

>>17794767
>Is that what the whole "gold cap" thing is?
I'm realizing the attosecond I posted this he means the actual physical cap on the perfume

>>17794762
>he cannot source good goat hair anymore

Damn this guy, haxan has like a hundred ingredients and he is going to discontinue it because of the fucking goat hair tincture.


>There was one interesting incense fragrance from Prin that I don't remember the name now. It had an opium note and strong aldehydic punch making somewhat similar to Kouros.

I'll go through them on fragrantica tomorrow at work and see.

By the way, ive been doing that for his stuff in strangers perfumeríe and it's that the brand where he releases all his gimmicky fragrances? Kind of a turn off desu

>>17794767
>>17794768
I think he is going to just keep providing bottles to his usual retailers like LuckyScent, Ecuacion Natural etc. Anon, I get a strong feeling that you want to make money flipping it asap. It's not going to happen that quick, but probably eventually the prices will increase. Just enjoy the fragrance you have.
>>17794770
It's a noticable note in his frags.

>>17794775
I want to make sure I have a spare bottle or two to last. Haxan is the first fragrance that really painted a picture for me while wearing.
Though having an extra bottle to make my money back on wouldn't be unwelcome.

>>17794775
>It's a noticable note in his frags
Other than haxan where does he use it?

I asked this in another thread, am looking for Catholic cathedral-esque fragrances. I got recommended Comme des Garcons: Incense Avignon and James Heely Cardinal. I heard two Popes have worn LAVS by UNUM, heard a lot about Arcana Holy Terror and Solstice Scents. Any recs for the ultimate cathedral-smelling fragrance?

>>17794824
There's a few ELDO scents that smell like church. Get the discovery set.

Is Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male good choice for everyday wear scent? Im new to fragrances ans im looking for something that can easy catch attention from others. Any recommendations anons?

>>17794840
a great choice for the everyday if you go to gay bars daily

I finally tried The Night by Frederic Malle, It smells like wearing Toy Boy while taking a shit.

>>17795053
lmao

If I take a random designer fragrance and mix it with literal shit, can I sell it for big bux to nichesoiboys?

>>17795097
I was actually thinking something like that...buy a couple of armafs, lattafas, etc... buy Iso E on ebay and perfumer alcohol(and some demeter). Mix them and sell 10 to 30 ml decants on a flea market.

>>17795053
fucking lmfao

>>17794598
refinement and elegance in sucking dick?

>>17795126
we’re talking about mitsouko, not le male.

I'm 23 and I'm thinking about getting either Antaeus, Egoiste or Habit Rouge if I can find it. Which one of those would /frag/ recommend?

>>17793904
It's kinda hard to get niche where I live, so I've only tried some Imaginary Authors and other two or three from other brands, but here designer frags are kind of niche because the vast majority of the people wear local brands anyway.

>>17795140
habit rouge is easily the best of those 3, but it’s also the most dandified. only wear it if the rest of you is up to task for it.

>>17795140
lol that fucking fragrantica frag suggester is so shit

>>17794824
Rook Thurible

>>17795140
Antaeus and Egoiste are both excellent. Never tried Habit Rouge.
Antaeus is the scarier of the two. When you first smell it, it might evoke the worst kind of dated garbage, but within a few seconds you'll realize they nailed it. And I'm talking about current formulation. Maybe it was way better in the 80s, but the stuff they have for sale now is terrific.
Egoiste is a safer bet. It's definitely sweeter, with a nice woody thing going on. There's something a little funky about it, just a bit.

>>17794840
no, it's a party night frag, maaaybe suitable for winter general use (but only if you are gay)

>>17791791
true dat

>>17795096
try dehn el ood shaheen by swiss arabian, its cheap

>>17795140
>>17795147
is right
>>17795167
seconding this. I prefer platinum egoiste over egoiste, but that's another thing.
antaeus is really interesting/loud and I cannot really pinpoint it, there is a very strong distinctive and maybe slightly synthetic note in the beginning. that's what's bugging me now, but as a beginner noselet I found it quite good. now I don't really know when I'd wear it, and I'm more leaning towards habit rouge. I hope that helps you in making your choice. if you can, sample each one separately on different days and see how it unfolds.
