Fragrance Groups 101 + Flowchart

Y do you guys wear fragrances?

this one is late and feels like it was made by the same op?

>>17799142
I like to smell good sometimes. Body smell is only sexy for "the one". Fragrances smell nice to the others.

>>17799142
There's one fragrance that reminds me of 2019. My teachers were kind, I love them, it reminds me of them.
I used to smell it every night. Now I don't feel very good but I smell it sometimes to remember.

>>17799142
Honestly, one of the reasons is to impress the senoritas. Women love men who smell great

>>17799142
I don't enjoy things anymore. I don't even enjoy fragrances, I don't know why I'm here. I can't afford them and I only like sweet scents.
It's nice to have an interest. It relaxes my mind, my life is too stressful.

My holy trinity
>>17799142
For the sex

>>17799142
I shower every other day, so I use fragrances to mask any odor (which is often non noticable).

>>17799188
Wait, isn't that Trinity from trailer park boys? Wtf! Didn't know she shoots porn!
>>17799142
For women. Why else? Every thing I do in my life I do it for women.
It's funny though, because I'm distant, misogynistic and rarely talk to them.

>>17799142
I put some on so I don't smell bad when I sweat. I only put on places where I might sweat though, not on neck or wrists or hair.

>>17799188
giwtwm

>>17799188
It really is her! Wow, what comes around takes around, just like the saying says. Jesus, maybe if she didn't participate in a show full of swearing, drugs, guns and illegal activities... Maybe she would be a good woman. But maybe the show ruined her. You are what you see!

Is it worth a blind buy?

>>17799210
Would

>>17799134
garbage as always

i think i hate the combination of patchouli and moss, i bought a frag that had this combination and didnt likr it, bought another that originally smelled good, but these similar notes started to become more pronounced after dry down, and now i dont like it

>>17801698
Patch and moss are the most baded combination, add lavender and i'm in love.

>>17799771
this one better doe

>>17801863
Would

During the balmiest nastiest grittiest height of Summer I bought the largest bottle of Jimmy Choo ice I could find it was only today that I smelled Dior Homme.

>>17799142
to smell good.

Why did you bait me into buying this shit? It smells like the generic Cuban after shave. The tobacco note is really not for me.

kys retarded faggot

>>17799142
We all want to be percieved in a certain way and most likely favorably by the people around us. We want to look good, be attractive. We do that with our clothes, with our facial hair or make-up, with our hair etc. But why should looks be the only factor when we can also control what we smell like? It's just part of how we want to be percieved.

>>17799697
Nothing is. Literally nothing is worth a blind buy.

This smells like soap.

anyone know a dupe for Caswell-Massey Number Six?

>>17802955
send it to me

What cologne(s) would pic related wear?

>>17805128
>wears suits like a politician
Something shady, degenerate and generic: Sauvage / Bleu de Chanel

>>17805128
Quorum

>>17805210
Never had the opportunity to try this one. What's it like?

Sotd Guerlain vetiver extreme. It’s a nice modern take on Guerlain vetiver. Replaced the tobacco with incense and less citrus. Another good dark academia frag.

>>17805480
sounds extremely based

I like givenchy reserve privee but the whisky notes evaporate in matter of minutes. What's a good alternative that actually lasts?

Any experience with:
>Black Walnut by Banana Republic
is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men. Black Walnut was launched in 2006. The nose behind this fragrance is Harry Fremont. Top note is Cognac; middle note is Tobacco; base note is Virginia Cedar. This perfume is the winner of award FiFi Award Fragrance Of The Year Men`s Private Label/Direct Sell 2007.

Supposedly it smells like the discontinued Tommy Bahama Men. That was my favorite frag through high school and college. After I ran out I stopped buying frags until a couple years ago.

>>17799142
In an abstract way, I use fragrances to “wear” an idea or a concept. Scents evoke memories and feelings. Books often describe the scent of a character or location, for instance

>>17805211
Polo (green) but a little more ashy

>>17799142
I like smelling good, and the "evolution" of fragrances I find interesting

What are some good incense fragrances? Not heavy, sweet arab incense... More like just giving some backbone and density to a more versatile aromatics or even as a contrasting note in a hot weather scent?

>>17805656
Guerlain vetiver extreme

>>17805211
It smells like a man who hasn't been vaxed

where can you even get rive gauche?

Good?

I never moved on

so i haven't worn much parfume at all in many years, but recently i thought i'd check out the ones every one seems to rave about: Aventus, pdm layton, sauvage, gaultier ultra male... to name a few.

i dont get how people say they got so blown away the first time they smelled aventus for example - they all smelled pretty fucking meh to me.

ive never found any perfume for me that makes me go wow this is my smell i like this, which is why i also just stopped buying it.

can i get some recommendations? no arab junk smell. need help with this, srs.

>>17805864
>ive never found any perfume for me that makes me go wow this is my smell i like this
Sounds like you aren't fully human. Is there anything you actually enjoy(other than trannime and video games)? Or are you are constantly in this perpetual state of frustrated butthurtness?
Nothing is ever good, everything is shit, ny taste is friggin superior because I don't like anything!

Damn i remember being 16

>>17805128
the brioni juice he got for free with the purchase of his suits, although litt was the only one who ever mentioned brioni.

>>17805864
>they all smelled pretty fucking meh to me.
because they are
>>17805871
are you enjoying bad boy cobalt, anon?

>>17805871
tons of things i like. and im srs. i just feel like "male" perfume smell pretty meh.

there have been more cases of wow i like this smell, but thats been on girls. i wouldnt necessarily be against wearing a "female" scent, but dont think it would really suit me. (6'4 200lbs sub 10% bf, mostly wear gym wear, cargos and hoodies (work as a dev)). im 30 btw. and im srs, open for reccs

>>17805883
check the op, tell us what you like/dislike,stop testing goyslop

>>17805901
the common reccs smell meh. dont like arab stereo type smell. i dont really have a vocab for smells, but i know when im not impressed. i like the smell of my jasmine green tea, and fruits like lemons and mango

>>17805928
>he likes feminine scents
congrats on coming out sweaty!

>>17805928
Guerlain mitsouko for a nice peach oakmoss, guerlain imperial for lemons

>>17805938
ill check it out
>>17805934
good1 anon - i said i didnt mind feminine smells. i'd wear something if i feel it suits me

>>17805883
>he thinks department store man frags are representative of actual man frags

>>17805928
you tested gay normie recs, not the flowchart. we can't help you if you don't put any effort into even knowing what you like. there are many green tea frags but none of them are amazing. perhaps try chanel no 19 and timbuktu
you also might sooner or later regret filtering everything arab.
maybe just buy kouros and call it a day

>>17805950
i just tried what everyone was raving about in these threads on /fa/ and /fit/ (Aventus, pdm layton, sauvage, gaultier ultra male, etc), can you blame me?
>>17805955
ty, alright ill check out the chart in the store tomorrow. i was hoping initially that id just be wowed by aventus (some guys here really hyped that shit up hard af) and call it a day, but yeh..

>>17805979
picrel, one review of many like it

>>17805864
My best fragrances are the ones I didn't really care for much initially but somehow I just kept coming back to - like Masculin Pluriel or Sartorial.

>>17805827
Just get Maculine Pluriel, it's a watered down Rive Gauche. Got mine second hand.

>>17805979
>>17805989
you fell for the immigrant living in germany who shills a new frag every month. bois imperial, cyber garden, aventus, dakar and some mfk to name a few. unfortunately you fell for the worst of his memes. did i mention that he has sex with trannies? also i dont think anyone here really shills layton, ultra male or sauvage.
in any case until you can discern between the shills and proper recs stick to the flow chart and read luca turin if you care enough. but most importantly, sample as much as you can. go to stores and try everything.

>>17806072
really, i dont see why the mutt would be promoting cyber garden? antoine lie's work seems too high iq for him

>>17805928
see treffpunkt 8 uhr by jf schwartzlose, musc moschus by rania j, paco rabanne fame and delta of venus by eris

>>17806003
truly a terrible fougere, there are so many better options

still contemplating on whether i want to go for fields of rubus that is being discontinue or tobacco jam by criminal elements. ordered jf schwarzlose trance + leder 6 10mls + 30ml of gallivant istanbul, which will probably not get too much wearings due to the number of ambers i have. whatever. would really love to get a bottle of nawabh of oudh and halfeti leather for winter too

>>17805656
>contrasting note in a hot weather scent
Dior Homme sport 2021?

>>17806095
>really, i dont see why the mutt would be promoting cyber garden? antoine lie's work seems too high iq for him
it's a mystery. honestly only aventus and gentle fluidity are shit. bur i shoud wear my own bottle of cybergarden more...
also trance is snice, the only jf that stood out to me

>>17806098
Shh we need to gatekeep this

how do i get cologne out of my clothes? and furthermore, my skin?
before i go out, i usually lift the back collar of my shirt and spray once down my neck.
the fuckin collar of my shirts still smell after washing. and i can shower, wake up, shower again, and rub the back of my neck and smell it on my fingers.
it's fine, it's not unpleasant, but it means that i get locked into one fragrance.

>>17806259
use oil-removing clotheswashing products

>>17806308
i just use normal tide detergent. surely everyone has this same exact problem, no?

>>17806361
>surely everyone has this same exact problem, no?
No

>>17805864
This one. First spray you will think it's just a regular clean clothes scent. Soon you will need to smell it over and over and over.

Just blind bought this, what am I in for?

>>17806391
a really comfy classic

>>17806095
>antoine lie's work seems too high iq for him
>look at me i'm smart as fuck
All time classic from Top G. Fuck your intellectual shit.

>>17805979
Bro, what? Layton, Sauvage, Ultra Male continuously get shat upon, and Aventus is shilled by a single person. You got your ideas from /fit/, not from fucking here. Don't lie. Aventus is the only one of those that made the chart, before it devolved into batchfaggotry and gorillion dollar bottle prices.
Reminder that /fit/ is a demotivational cesspool of insecurity.

>>17806437
/frag/ doesn't like Layton?

>>17806391
you’ll smell like somebody’s gay grandpa

>>17806847
/frag/ doesn't like PdM at all. They are an overpriced clone house without pedigree.

>>17807025
This. Fucking hate that brand and the braindead youtube fragrance shills who recommended it

I tested some aventus today and compared it to the zara dupe, they don't smell alike at all, are all dupes this bad?

>>17807083
Yes, except Loewe Esencia Edp

>>17807025
do they smell good though?

>>17807669
They make crude perfumery, much like Aventus. In this thread we like the work of Bernard Chant, classic Guerlains, a select few diors and old classics like bandit etc...

I suggest you watch every single live stream YouTubers persolaise has put our, read all editions of the Luca Turin perfume guide, start smelling perfumes and keeping notes, and finally visit the osmoteque and only then will you be ready to post here with the big dogs.

Ok /fa/ggots, gimmie your most hardcore incense frag

fragrance for this feel?

there’s also bakhoor where you can scent your clothes with incensed smoke

>every man since the beginning of times enjoys the smell of his balls
>still no manmusk frag

It really doesn't smell that much like layton desu

>>17808533
it used to smell 1:1 like layton and now it's more like boss bottled mixed with layton. i guess that's more in the spirit of the fragrance, since layton itself was also just a refined clone of the discontinued boss bottled intense. even the clone house reformulate shit nowadays.

>>17808545
Don't get me wrong it still smells great and I'll be wearing it a lot this fall and winter because it does perform really well. But I was hoping for a bit closer of a clone. Its like 60% layton

>>17808478
Thank you anon

>>17808549
drydown and sillage are still similar, at least in my experience. i have a bottle from the silver/black box from back in the days, where it was a straight copy of layton and smelled identical to my sample (which was also pre-reformulation layton), and a bottle from when the silver box emerged. the juice had a lighter color and even though that doesn't mean anything it still hinted at differences, and they certainly were there. way more apple instead of spices in the opening, which gave those boss bottled vibes. since i then had two bottles and then turned away from vanilla juice, i never bought another bottle. they might have changed it further. i also don't know how much it matches the current formulation of layton, since i didn't bother with layton after having something that actually smells identical.
it used to be one of the 3-4 accurate clones of something out there (together with afnan 9pm and al rehab dakar), so if it is no longer a good clone, we're back at like 2 good clones in the entire world of clones.

>>17808560
I got my bottle about 2 months ago, silver box, and the opening has almost zero mint and is quite spicy not very much if any apple. A lot of people dislike the mint in layton but I actually really enjoyed it and was disappointed when my version of detour noir has almost no detectible mint

Pic related happening, what fragrance to wear?

>>17808302
tide pods

>>17808598
molecule 01

recc me your muskiest frags
i want to smell dirty

>>17799130
reminder that if the room can’t smell your scent, your a cowardly cucked pussy
there is nothing wrong with being the centre of attention

any frags with a similar feeling to Eau Sauvage but more suited to cloudy days and fall? I don't mean a similar smell but I guess something classic and put together for lack of a better term. something that might go with an OCBD and a knit tie the way Eau Sauvage goes with a partially unbuttoned linen shirt in the summer

>>17808797
Being the center of attention has no inherent social value. For example you csn start screaming or shitting in public and everyone will look at you and you'll be the center of attention for a while.

>>17808854
Is it attention seeking if I want people's attention?
Is it really that bad if I want to be fragrant?
Is it really a crime if I want to smell more of what I wear and also make people's day with a nice scent?

Sounds to methat you're a mean asshole

>>17807083
aventus isn’t even good

>>17808302
prada L'homme

This is the driest Oud i experienced. Bought it at a local arab perfume oil store. Really nice, smells like an old wooden cabinet in a dark basement.
Not your typical rose-oud-sweet shit stuff.

>>17808882
wearing frags is rude regardless if a person of smell can detect it or not in any case

>>17811434
are you implying that you should trap it in olive oil, so that you can apply it later?

>>17808512
there were some anons a few threads back that posted how to make your own frags and how to capture your own scents from underwear

DESU I can't get enough of this scent and wear it as a straight dude just because of how much I love it. Any other Poison line appreciators itt?

>>17801901
I'm actually about to throw up

keep getting ads for these on instagram. How shitty are they compared to the scents they are copying?

>>17808533
it smells almost idendical, maybe you got a old bottle of either, friend has had layton for a while, sprayed both and couldnt tell the difference over hours.
smells way too sweet anyway

>>17811818
Haven't bought myself but I looked into them because my feed was getting spammed with them too and they're garbage by pretty much all accounts (except a few posts/comments dickriding them hard enough that they were probably made by their own marketing team lol). Lot of reports of them being actively horrible and causing rashes, even the decent reviews all say shit like "its fine but it smells cheap and nobody would mistake it for real Lost Cherry". I'd save your money for the good stuff instead of buying clones targeted at broke niggas

>>17799142
It started as wearing fragrances to smell good to women. These days, I just enjoy them myself, and wear what I like, even if other people don't like it.

>>17811818
anything you see advertised to you on IG is trash

>>17805494
Dior Homme Parfum

>>17807083
Loewe Esencia EDP is the best clone, Montblanc Explorer is the best cheap clone. Zara is bottom of the barrel with the worst performance ever.

Just sampled Guerlain vetiver and it’s better than expected. Reminds me of summer grass
