can we go 2 threads in a row without gay porn please

>>17799121
Wait, I thought /fa/ stood for faggots. It can't be I'm on the wrong board, so far everything seems gay here.

was in the city using public transport and the fragrance i smelled the most (and could discern) was fucking poop! homme

Why do you guys wear fragrances?

You gotta smell NYI, similar sickeningly sweet like poop homme.

>>17799124

>>17799163
no one asked, coomer mutt

how do you man-musk max?
is it better to get scared first thing in the morning or jog around the block?

>>17799174
Jog around the block right before you meet a girl, they like the sweaty musk when it's fresh.

>>17799174
5 sets jump squats to failure

>>17799177
gurl?

>>17799179
No, but I've heard them say they like fresh sweat, but not stale sweat.

>>17799174
Just wear androstadienone

>>17799192
>Aventus
>musk & ambergris drydown
So literally confirmed that Aventus is the ultimate ladykiller?

>>17799140
I like to smell good sometimes. Body smell is only sexy for "the one". Fragrances smell nice to the others.

>>17799140
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.

>>17799140
Honestly, one of the reasons is to impress the senoritas. Women love men who smell great

>>17799212
does aventus have androstadienone or just some white musk molecule completely unrelated to it?

>>17799140
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.

>>17799140
I shower every other day, so I use fragrances to mask any odor (which is often non noticable).
>>17799174
Just don't shower every day

>>17799140
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.

>>17799228
>I use fragrances to mask any odor
>which is often non noticable
>often
anon...

>>17799177
They like it fresh because if it's stale it's full of bacteria, which smell bad. Fresh sweat smells like you. Human smell (especially loved one) is nice, I think. I don't love people.
>>17799140
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.

>>17799231
What? I don't understand please explain further, like I said, it's not noticable. How much can a guy stink while being showerless for a day? Not much. That's all I'm talking about.

>>17799225
it doesn’t, he’s just a brainfried coomer spamming the thread with his porn addiction

Anons I pulled the trigger. I'll report back in a couple of days.

>>17799158
yeah it's great isn't it? so many layers of ick, perfect for my degradation fetish

If anyone has CDG Blackpepper they want to sell me please let me know

Fragrance noob from previous thread here. I asked some recommendations for the fall/winter season. Bonus points if compatible with rainy weather. In the previous thread I was recommended Polo Green (which is just called 'Polo' right?), Guerlain Vetiver, Dior Fahrenheit, and Caron Yatagan.Here is the list of fragrances I am thinking of trying. Thoughts/recommendations?
- Encre Noir
- Polo Green
- Chanel Antaeus
- Rochas Moustache EDP
- L'occitane Eau Des Baux
- Tauer 02 L'Air Du Dessert Marocain
- Caron Yatagan
- Dior Fahrenheit
- GuerlainVetiver

>>17799270
>Thinking of trying
Try. Stfu. Fuck off.

>>17799270
>list of frags that attract hairy boomer fags
lmao

>>17799270
For the ones you can try in store, save your money on a sample and try them in a store and if you seem interested in some then order some samples online. Simple as.

>>17799274
Ah YEs I should Instead buy every last one of them guuurrrrrrr.

You stfu retarded frog. I am asking politely for advice, and you come in here drooling all over the place. Yes I am thinking of trying some of them. I have the capability of thinking, which you clearly don't, you feces-for-brains wacko.

>>17799140
I'm very sad. I don't enjoy my living days. I don't like the things I loved anymore. It's devastating.

>>17799270
only men like those frags

>>17799281
Funny. Why don't you put your funny business to practice? Instead of asking people for a list of fucking waters.
Why don't you go where they sell it and smell some, you dumb fuck.!

What's your signature scent?
I want to judge /frag/'s taste.

>>17799270
If you're a fragrance noob you should go to a store and test the popular YT/TikTok fragrances on your skin. The stuff recommended here is for fragrance heads, even from the flowchart and chart. For example Eau Savage and Encre Noir are not as safe smelling and mass appealing as the popular stuff. For fall/winter I'd recommend:

Dior Fahrenheit (leather/gasoline type smell)
Spicebomb (unironically good)
Le Male Le Parfum (smells like pure vanilla sex to ladies)
Dior Homme Intense (try before buy, top rated designer)
PDM Layton (overused but still good, good choice for babby's first niche)

Start with these and when you become more experienced you can move into the niche stuff.

>>17799270
Go to a mall and try everything you can, stop relying so much on inane internet bullshit, grow up

>>17799307
>pdm
>niche

>>17799319
>house that only does fragrances
they're niche even though all of their scents are practically super mass appealing yt/tiktok stuff

>>17799281
You really should kill yourself or at least think about it. Your retardation will make you unable to appreciate any of the perfumes you listed because you're too much of a GDE numbskull. Wear eros flame or sauvage and give it up, a subnormal like you wouldn't even tell the difference.

>>17799307
Every single one of those is garbage aside from Fahrenheit. Are you trying to set him up for failure, as a joke?

>>17799332
All of those scents are highly rated on Parfumo my dude.

i’m surprised you think at all

>>17799270
Most of those recs, while good, lean vintage/dated. If you want something more mainstream, try out something like Xerjoff 1861 Naxos or Dior Homme Intense.

>>17799535
roflmao jerkoff

First thought that comes to mind when you smell this

Bought a sample because I hear it smells gasoline and cut grass.
I want it to remind me of a childhood memory of cutting grass in the cool summer evening using a gasoline push mower.
Also bought a sample of the Le Parfum.

>>17799552
hehehe jerkoff myfisto hehehe

Is Bois Impérial pajeet-tier bros

>>17799585
lol what a moron

>>17799594
It’s pajeet-tier in the sense that people will be able to smell you across the room, but not pajeet-tier in the sense that you’ll smell bad.
>t. Blind bought it (only partially influenced the the schizo poster) and got both good and bad comments on it at work due to the intensity.

Two side comments 1: After wearing it for a while, I think the akigalawood comes off as a slightly body odor-ish scent to me personally (didn’t figure this out till I noticed the same scent in Ganymede). 2: The sillage is legit crazy. Gone as low as a single spray to the neck and had a coworker still comment on it just by walking past from a distance.

>>17799270
Don't wear Polo unless you have a full chest of hair and regularly show it

Noselet here

Thoughts, comments, suggestions, insults based on current collection? (Go ahead, I know a good chunk of you just wanna rip on it.)

The samples that are hard to read are
Ganymede (in the back)
Vapeurs Diablotines
Scorpio Rising

(Untested)
Etruscan Waters
The Black Night
Iron Duke
Neroli Mediterraneo
Terre d’Hermes edt
^edp
^parfum
^tres fraiche

>>17799628
stop projecting your gay fantasies

>>17799629
Gotta say, when I went in to test Etruscan waters and black knight, I also tested sticky fingers and was surprised at how similar all 3 were to start off. Didn’t even bother getting a sample of the sticky fingers.

Was also really cool, went to a store in an upscale area ~30 min away from me with the intention of testing the Terre dHermes, walked in asking to try the edt, and they gave me the full sample kit with all 4, and when I commented they had H24 they gave me that as well without even asking, actually had them put one back when they tried to give me two. Walked out with 5 samples after not spending a dime, and simple gestures like that make me really look forward to doing business with them.

>>17799332
If he's a noob any of those are good, they will be in any list of beginner recommendations on youtube and Dior Farenheit is probably the most "out there" of the bunch and less beginner friendly.

>>17799120
farenheit edt or edt?

>>17799629
Let me know how you like the SBE and Bois Imperial and Terre d’Hermes Parfum

>>17799660
I've heard better things about the EDT than thhe EDP. Just sample them, EDT is the safer bet I think though.

>>17799668
I want to love SBE way more than I do. Everything I’ve read about it spoke of wild sillage with hours and hours of longevity, but on my skin the sillage is moderate to weak, and doesn’t even last as a skin scent past a couple hours at most. Even asked a couple people on more than one occasion and they couldn’t smell it either, so it’s not just nose-blindness. As for the scent itself. It leans much sweeter than “spicy” as I had originally hoped, which I don’t mind, it still smells good, just not what I expected. Still planning to try the OG Spicebomb.

You can see my opinion on BI here >>17799613 I really can’t overstate the sillage and performance, I’m talking able to be smelled from 7-8+ feet away and lasts 12+ hours. It’s a double edged sword though because as I said, there were complaints of this as well (not to my face). Go light with it for sure.

TdH I’m still testing, only used EdT once so far, but definitely enjoyed it. Can’t judge the sillage but performance is moderate. Every time I caught a whiff of it I couldn’t help but think to myself “Damn I smell good.” I’m kind of thinking of wearing the EdT this week and the EdP next week but since summer is essentially over here, I’m also considering testing the Pacific Rock Moss and Bohemian Lime first.

>>17799678
>I’m talking able to be smelled from 7-8+ feet away and lasts 12+ hours.
Where did you spray it and how many sprays?
Thanks for the info mang.

>>17799270
Try Eau des Baux

>>17799691
If I remember correctly the first day (where I got complaints) was 2 on the chest and 3 on the neck, with the 2 on the chest being covered by a Tshirt, button up shirt, and then a labcoat over all of that.

A few days later (and after discussion of promises to dial it back) I just did 2 on the neck and still got the comment of being able to smell it from the 7-8 feet away, but she said it wasn’t as bad.

>>17799703
Thanks budda. God be with you.

>>17799629
Tell us your thoughts on the Goldfield & Banks ones

>>17799629
How do you like the black knight? Ive liked some of bianchis, but not Etruscan water, so I was wonder how they'd compare to a noselet

>>17799639
really? I didnt think Etruscan and sticky fingers were similar at all. Etruscan is like an old ladyish chypre and sticky is straight patchouli. So there's a lot of patchouli in the black knight?

>>17799629
>>17799711
I haven’t even put the PRM or the BL on my skin yet, just the tester strips, so can’t speak to those really. The vague memory was they were both fresh and a light, both citrus-y with the BL obviously being more so. Don’t remember the PRM as well.

The desert rosewood though, gorgeous. I bought that a while ago and wore it for a week or so. Had gone into the store looking for “spicy” fragrances (hence the vapeurs diablotines and Scorpio rising) and saw this and tried it on a whim. The opening is a touch peppery in the front with a little more floral/woody on the back end. What sold me on it though was I would randomly get a whiff of it later in the day and it was so pleasantly -warm-! I don’t even remember what exactly the smell was when I caught that later scent, I just remember that it vividly invoked a feeling of warmth and comfort. Moderately to long lasting, 6-8~ I think. Unsure of the sillage. I know I got one comment while it was still relatively recent on my skin, 2-4 hours, but she was also in pretty close proximity. She also commented that it was “less masculine” than some of the others I had been wearing, but I honestly didn’t care, love the scent.

>>17799728
>>17799731

I am definitely a noselet, so take all my comments with a grain of salt, especially >>17799741 that’s written more from the emotion/feeling it evoked rather than memory of the smell.

As for BK, EW, and SF, all three I’ve only had on a tester strip, and even then each was back to back to back, zero dry down, maybe 5-10 minutes max on the strips while the woman running the shop prepared my decants.

That said, I do remember all 3 being remarkably ’similar’ to each other, to my nose in that short period of time, enough so that I decided to only get BK and EW, perhaps they needed more time.

All that being said, Iron Duke is more of what I was expecting/looking for in The Dark Knight, but all of this is tentative until I actually put it on skin in like a month or so time.

Has anyone sniffed pic related? Is it a good fall scent?

>>17799754
where did you go that they had all of those available?

>>17799760
It’s a local place near me that specializes in niche fragrance lines, they don’t carry the normal mainstream stuff you’d get at Macy’s or Sephora.

The Spicebomb I blind bought online, and the Terre dHermes stuff I got at a different store.

Anyone tried acampora musk?

>>17800184
Nuit de Bakalite is the most interesting fragrance here. Lots of high-street "niche" and some vintage stuff. Seems like a collection who's been into this hobby for 1-2 years but never went fully down the rabbit hole. I also seriously hope you arranged all of these bottles that way for a photo. It's really cringe to have your little beauty products altar anywhere visible as a man.

Is Mancera Cedrat Boise even close to Aventus? is it worth it testing it

>>17800203
Amouage gold can’t beat interlude.
And you guessed right, I’ve been into collecting frags for about a year now.

>>17800216
>I’ve been into collecting frags for about a year now
>Amouage gold can’t beat interlude.
That's the type of opinion I would expect from a person like you (no offense).

>>17800216
Also stop with buying full bottles. Most of these haven't seen more than 5 wears but it's good that you're buying used bottles. You have too many memes gathered in too little time.

yeah, shame on me, let's talk about Dior Homo for the 9000th time

>>17800275
Could you give me a quick rundown on which scent you would use for which season/occasion? I’m pretty new to all this, hence the tiny bottles

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir

just remember to watch out for AIDS!

>>17800108
Where did you manage to find a cute trap?

>>17800277
it's quite subjective, but for me un jardin sur la lagune is a spring/summer day frga, h24 edp is year-round work/school, le male is night + general fall/winter frag (your mileage may vary tho), toy boy is a date/party frag and Gold Man is Vladimir Putin's choice of frag so it might be a good fit for his funeral

Can we get winter already? I want to wear prada luna rossa black again

>>17800286
How’s the performance on that

I can buy a bottle of terre d'hermes parfum for cheap, should I? Given I haven't tried any terre d'hermes fragrance

What I like: spices, incense, mineral, bitter citrus
What I don't like: cake-like fragrances

>>17800326
Go to Wroclaw and try your luck there

>>17800338
Sounds like you, like me, might like TDH Givre. It's my office frag right now.

Today I tried out La Fleur Bouquet Afnan, and it's just too basic and boring - some flower composition, citrus, and amber/musk for depth and warmth (not sure what's the difference between those, they seem to give the same effect). It's a good smell but I find Souvenir Floral Bouquet to be more interesting, it has more layers. Most people don't seem to think this way apparently: the former has 4.1 on fragrantica and the latter has 3.9.

>>17800338
Sounds like you might like it. Sure is spicy and mineral, a lot of citrus as well.

>>17799120
sauce?

Ordered those samples today.

>>17800184
>>17799629
Extensive to my amateur eye, can’t really comment as it’s all stuff I’ve never smelled before, but I do recognize several names that seem to get thrown around a lot as seeming popular or controversial, Drakkar, DHI, Azzaro, Kouros, the Creed… magazine(?) over on the left seems very out of place. Must be a fan of Frederic Malle, a lot by him, don’t recognize the brand or any of the scents though. Also curious about Joop, only thing that comes to mind with that brand was a memorable Fragrantica AI generated comment of “Will be made fun of for being a Joop! fragrance”

>>17800419
Joop Homme isnt bad, i wore it for a few years, its pretty sweet tho

>>17799660
I dont really like the Parfum. Smells like red hots or something. Really sweet and dense. Its not Fahrenheit

>>17800108
I didnt like this at first, as I thought it was like a muted encre noir, but now i love it. The juxtaposition between the sweet creaminess and the vetiver makes the vetiver smell metallic or "electric"

Here's a review of some samples I ordered, they threw some in some for free so don't call me dumb for "buying" them. I tried all of these on my skin except for the ones I explicitly say I didn't.

PDM Kuhuyan
generic green smelling with some leather. natural smelling. surprisingly sweet. kind of like you put some vanilla flowers in between the cushions of a nice leather couch.

Tom Ford Oud Wood
like a dark old tree. something in it that smells clean. smells like frat boys in a musty log cabin out in the woods.

Etat Libre d’Orange Exit the King
smells citrusy, like an orange and a lemon, but very clean, like a freshly polished and bathed lemon. smells like something you would put in your hair, noticeably chemical smelling like bug spray.

Gucci Gucci
very generic. like spicy Axe Body spray with a hint of wood. smells like a freshly bathed middle schooler playing Minecraft in his room when his parents are going through a divorce. (didn't put on skin)

Carolina Herrera CH Mens Sport
smells like hot topic if they also sold gym equipment, very chemically (didn't put on skin)

Dior Homme Eau
slight citrus and violet but plastic and a little sweet. smells like a gay guy in a locker room after swimming.

PDM Greenley
very clean, citrus and orange and a touch of wood with some violet, sweet. very natural smelling and deep, high quality, like biting into a juicy orange. it’s exactly like a mandarin orange. citrus without any level of smelling like chemical/cleaning supplies.

Dior Fahrenheit EDT
very masculine, gasoline and rubber with a touch of leather and a surprising amount of citrus. every other one of these fragrances smell like they’re for women compared to this. it’s surprisingly fresh, it’s not like rotting tires or gasoline from a rusting old 1977 Chevy, it’s more like new sports car. smells like a millionaires freshly cleaned garage

Dior Homme Sport 2021 EDT
citrus wood gym. very generic. smells like an orange taped to a pine tree

>>17800454
Ralph Lauren Ralph’s Club Parfum
sweet vanilla with a lot of spice and some “blue” to it, a little bit of green/wood in there. like Old Spice but “blue” and sweet, kind of powdery and grandma-esque

Comme des Garcons Black EDT
I recoiled when I smelled this, smells like black licorice with 2 pounds of spice on it and smoke. Smells like huffing a shaker of pepper, or the soles of gym shoes that just got done running on asphalt in October

Dior Sauvage Elixir
Blue cotton candy with spice and some wood. Very sweet, pretty spicy.

Dior Eau Savage EDT
Like bitter lemonade and wood and the forest. Seriously just like those hard lemon candies.

Opinions on N°5 Eau Première?

>>17800473
why not just buy the original?

Honestly, is there anything else that is more liked than men and women? Buying other fragrances seems useless when this one exists

>>17800480
2016 called, they want their hype fragrance back

>>17800480
It's the fucking GOAT, I've never been complimented more.

If you think its overrated, overhyped, overdone, overpriced or something like that, just move on. Let the real men wear it. Go back to wearinig iris, saffron, chocolate, tonka bean, honey

HOLY. SHIT. and I stress the Holy. This is the first fragrance where I have literally been mesmerized. I had smelled GIT by Creed. Wasnt impressed for the price. Millesime Imperial, which I like a lot, but not for the price. After those two I just wrote off the Creed House as overpriced and not worth the products produced. However, I was strolling through Neiman Marcus and gave this one a try in attempts to crush the what I was certain to be hype. I was so taken aback I shouted "My God" out loud in the store. I have NEVER smelled anything quite like this. Never. So incredibly unique. Inspired by Napoleon? I believe it. It smells like power. I understand that is an obnoxious statement but congruent with my reaction and the perfume's inspiration.

>>17800492
I walked out of Neiman Marcus with Aventus on my hand, to check it with my chemistry, to meet my gf in the hair salon. I walked into a wall of compliments. Every woman in the salon was in awe. Walk out of the salon, a male stranger passes, walks back to me and taps me on the shoulder to ask what cologne I was wearing. That has never happened in my life. I intend to purchase the 4.0oz after my next pay period as well as the shave balm. Before smelling Aventus I would have thought I was outside of my mind to purchase a $300 fragrance. But I believe it is because I know my search for my perfect/signature scent is over. I will always have a few staples in the collection; Fahrenheit, Encre Noire, Dior Homme Intense for romantic evenings. But I can never see myself liking anything more, or feeling anything suits who I am better than Aventus. And I must say, it is a beautiful thing. This is the best fragrance I have EVER smelled. Breathtakingly beautiful and seductively powerful.

>>17800494
I kneel

>>17800480
Anyone else noticed that, at least the new reformulations, dry down significantly better on clothes than on skin? The birch/smoke notes just don't smell right compared to what it used to be.

>>17800499
All of the negative comments on Aventus are complete bullshit. There is no problem with the longevity. This stuff has always been good for 8+ hours. There is also no problem with its stability. Creed continues to smell good for more than a decade like every other quality fragrance. There are no “batch variations.” I have three bottles, and they all started out highly fruity and got woodier as they aged. Anything popular from the Creed Boutique is fruitier because it is younger and fewer top notes have evaporated through the nozzle (this happens, it isn’t air-tight). If you put down Aventus because “everyone has it,” you need to do a reality check. I challenge to you quiz 100 random 25-45-year-old men about what they wear, and I wager that not one of them will say Aventus.

Fucking shills, you got me. I'm buying a sample now. The price already makes me cry though.

>>17800504
Nothing I said had anything to do with performance or longevity. Just that if you spray your wrist and your shirt, after a couple of hours the scent on the shirt will develop much better then on the wrist. I'm not saying that;s bad - just interesting since usually it's the other way round

>>17800604
At least make it 30 bucks friend your options are going to be limited and finding one at that price for longevity is hard, I havnt tried it but reviews for cheap colognes are Bentley intense or davidoff adventure are around the 20 bucks range.

My choice personally if you can stretch a few bucks you could get Versace dreamer it's long lasting and nice smell or go for a lamoni pour homme for 10 bucks does the job

>>17800479
I already tried it, I like it, but it smells bad on my skin.

>>17800662
you realize that all 3 concentrations of no. 5 smell completely different, right? also, as a man who wears mitsouko, i’m telling you that wearing no. 5 as a man is generally not a good idea.

>>17799264
Prin Lomros stuff? Amaze-balls

>>17799264
well done but i dont know why you'd go for three different chypes/fougeres by rogue, why not include some variation?

>>17800669
go for le cri by parfu d'empire, it's veryno. 5ish but more wearable

>>17800669
I wear l‘heure bleue and get away with it, being a man isn‘t what‘s troubling me. But maybe you‘re right and I should test N°5 edp and extrait if edt wasn‘t for me. It‘s the same with Jicky, the extrait is amazing while the edt is not good, at least on me.

>>17800718
Is sticky lips still available? Thinking about trying unspoken musk even though it has lukewarm reviews. Looking for a good musk. Honestly really like Jovan Musk. Looking for a higher quality version of that

>>17800735
>Is sticky lips still available?
nah, sold out within 24 hours - i ordered a bottle but it's unwearable desu, haven't touched my bottle once. went through a 1ml sample of unspoken musk but didn't really spark my interested, personal favourits are helmut lang edp and cdg marseille.

>>17800718
i’ve tried le cri and i like it. not sure if i like it enough to buy a bottle, but i like it.
>>17800728
i literally just wore l’heure bleue yesterday and i still don’t have the guts to pull off no. 5. unlike the classic guerlains, too many women of all ages still wear no. 5, enough that it’s seen in the public eye as the ne plus ultra of woman’s perfume. also, to my understanding, the best concentration of no. 5 is the extrait (duh), followed by the EDT and finally the EDP (which was actually a polge concoction from the 80s, not ernest beaux’s work like the other two).

>>17800745
what did the unspoken musk remind you of? I dont really like the old soap of marseilles. Sticky lips im assuming is just iris and patchouli mostly, right?

>>17800748
>what did the unspoken musk remind you of?
eh, can't think of a particular fragrance, it's been a while. just very general bianchi dna that she uses in her bases with leather/musk thrown in. i only really enjoy under my skin (and etruscan water) from her work

>Sticky lips im assuming is just iris and patchouli mostly, right?
very much patchouli, leather and actual disgusting lipstick-iris, not the soft one from DHI. i was hoping for a more rosey fragrance, but was left disappointed

>i’ve tried le cri and i like it. not sure if i like it enough to buy a bottle, but i like it.
took me a 5ml to get hooked, though i rarely give it wears these days. but i feel like strength of le cri is its uniqueness

>>17800753
Its not similar to under my skin at all? That's the one I liked the most and sticky fingers which is just straight patchouli really. I didnt like etruscan water

What do you guys think of Maison Margiela?
Have you tried Jazz Club, By the Fireplace, Autumn Vibes, Sailing Day, Whispers in the Library?

>>17800758
they should stick to making GATs and leave the perfume to more competent brands.

>>17800756
>Its not similar to under my skin at all
not sure which one which one you meant, but neither really reminded me of UMS. how about sampling nasomatto's silver musk?

>>17800771
That seemed too clean. I have acampora in my sample cart right now. Kiehls is a straight old lady floral to me. I want something fairly clean but with the tiniest whiff of asshole in the background

>>17800784
then helmut lang would be great, sadly hard to find. i suppose marlou would be too dank? poudrextase is kinda wearable

>>17800735
jovan musk for men isn't even that musk heavy. it primarily smells a lot like tabac original because of the carnation
>>17800758
jazz club is good for it's price (if you have the tiniest bit of patience), the rest ranges from mediocre to bad. retards will say that it's overpriced crap but they go on sale for 0.3-0.5/ml regularly

>>17800804
what would it be considered then? Just a shitty oriental?

Bros... I showed my dad Tom Ford Oud Wood to see if he would like it and he thought it was too girly... is he gonna beat me or just call me a faggot when I wear Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir...

>>17800823
idk, a spicy-woody classic? maybe it got reformulated, older reviews say it's musk heavy. but my bottle smelled 90% like tabac and the 10% made it worse than tabac. its the only bottle i ever returned

>>17800826
Those aren't mutually exclusive, and you'd deserve both.

Chypre is named after Cypress, the island where they found the effervescent oakmoss that has now all but been banned (replaced by synthetic clones.) So having iris is completely optional for a Chypre, but oakmoss is basically mandatory.

>>17801036
Why was it banned?

>>17801044
allergenics + over-harvesting led to complaints from the island. I think you can still get it, but in small non-commercial amounts.

I like rogue and I love those three, I wanted to at least have a small bottle. I almost bought Jasmin antique too, but I'll leave it for another time.

None of them really scratch that "itch" that PLRS does. But now I do notice the lavender, which I never actually noticed before, I thought it was more of a sandalwood vanilla thing. What would you guys recommend for me?
Below are some first impressions of all the frags I've ever had, this was all nearly 10 years ago so not firm that my opinion would be the same still:
>I've tried Armani, Acqua Di Gio, wasn't bad but kinda gay? Idk this was when I was like 16
>Tried Gucci Pour Homme, with the gold cap, not bad? Didn't stand out much
>Tried a versace cologne, not sure which but it was the most generic and cheap smelling shit I've ever tried.
>Tried the green Polo scent. Hated it.

>>17800758
Whispers in the library is a genuine good light vanilla spicy scent.

>>17801078
Nobody asked bro

>>17800604
i have not bought in this range but my guess is anything you buy for 20 dollars that is long lasting is going to smell synthetic or dad core. im gonna make some recs that are really good for their price point that aren't super long lasting:

I get a crazy headache when I smell cologne or perfume. Doesn't matter if it's solid or a fragrance.

Any of you have this? Is there any hope for me? Are fragrances just not for me?

still looking for a Caswell-Massey Number Six dupe

Just discovered Rogue's chypres and fougeres last week and have been enthusing about them, looks like I'm not the only one. Likely picking up Mousse Illuminee next paycheck.

>>17801230
All the ones ive tried from them are just so good.

My package comes today apparently, really curious about Bon Monsieur, it's the only one of their classics that I haven't tried yet.

Unfortunate. Thank you. On a side note I've fucked about 40 women and haven't had an issue with that. My girlfriend smells like incense and flowers.

Wtf, you guys are having sex?

Why does /fa/ shit on Parfums de Marly so much? I don't really know that much about perfumery but everywhere I read and watch videos people praise their frags and they seem to be extremely popular. But here people shit on them. What's the reason for that?

>>17801277
It's fake niche

>>17801281
What does that mean?

>>17801284
It's owned by the same company that owns initio perfumes and they make scents that are mass appealing no different than designers.

EU-bros
do you have experiences with Eclat, Esenzzia or Shobi?
particularly interested in the dupes these sites sell for Rose of no man's land and Amouage Reflection

>>17801277
>everywhere I read and watch videos people praise their frags and they seem to be extremely popular
that's because they spend most of their budget on paying influencers and youtubers to promote their fragrances
some people here dislike them because they're a really typical example of one of those pseudo-luxury / fake-niche brands that have no heritage, don't innovate and basically just make easy to like designer fragrances but at three times the price
they might be the most notorious because they're both really popular and really uncreative, with most of their fragrances being reminiscent of some already-popular cheaper designer scent

>>17801285
Not that guy, but could I get a list of those so I know what to avoid?
I guess Xerjoff and Tom Ford are also like that.

>>17801324

>>17801324
as much hate as Tom Ford gets in these threads for their ridiculous pricing and general decline, I still respect the brand more than Xerjoff or PdM. you can't deny that they were ahead of the curve in the 2000s. Tuscan Leather created a whole category of copycats and Oud Wood really made the oud trend go crazy. all of the retro releases were a clever move as well.
I'm not going to buy their shit, but I can't deny their influence, for better or for worse

>>17801324
why do you want to avoid them?

>>17801343
This is mostly correct. Early 2000s TF Private Blend would qualify as niche. Now it’s just masstige not much different than Xerjoff. Also it wasn’t Oud Wood that popularized the note in the west but YSL M7.

>>17800604
Kill yourself

>>17801418
Yeah I know M7 was first. Still feels like the trend only really caught on in a big way after Oud Wood though.
IDK how it was back in the day, but nowadays I find it has weak performance, which seems absurd to me at this price.

Hi.

I'm a lawyer. I wear a suit all day and I can't be too cheerful.
What perfume should I buy?

>>17801514
Ombre leather

>>17801514
tuscan leather if you want to smell like the kind of lawyer who does coke every day
guerlain vetiver if you want to smell like an old lawyer who works for old money types
terre d'hermes if you want the safe choice

>>17801514
tabac blond. vintage. you’re a lawyer, you can afford it.

thanks for the tips

>>17801318
Yes, I bought a sample set in esenzzia long ago and they’re fine, obviously originals are better, but smell great and have a good performance. Try Divain too, I don’t know if they sends to your country

>>17801191
How many have you tried? Beyond just dope sausage?

>>17801514
Why not just suck robot wiener instead? Doesn’t smell as bad and less expensive.

>>17801191
Do you usually have migraines? Do you feel your nose stuffy or irritated after wearing perfume?
Try perfumes without alcohol, You’re probably allergic, or alcohol triggers your migraines. Hermetica it's a good brand.

I've received the Aventus sample. A bit anxious about trying it. What should I expect? Will I be able to go back after tasting that Big Brand Creed stuff or will it be the endgame for me? I don't know..

>>17801588

Opinions on Frapin?
Girlfriend ordered samples of Nevermore, L'humaniste, and Orchid Man, of which only L'humaniste appealed to me but none felt like bad scents, curious if they have anything worth checking out. I usually like nerolis, leathers, orientals, and florientials.

>>17801680
Skip the middleman and just dab tide behind your ears.

Horrible performance. L'humaniste It's really similar to Chanel Edition Blanche.

You fucking liars. Aventus smells like citrusy wood, it's very boring. It's also synthetic, reminds me of m01. Not even remotely does ot deserve its hype and especially its price tag.

Question for the thread -

Cool, dark, dry places are the given type of area to store fragrances, but what about refrigerating them?

It’s true there’s oil in them, but would it be enough to precipitate them out of solution? Obvi the alcohol wouldn’t be an issue. This is all purely theoretical and for the sake of discussion, but it would have the benefit of keeping fragrances even longer than normal.

>>17801703
no, it's not enough to precipitate the oils, at least not of common designer frags. i'm not in the business of mixing fragrance oils, but other chemicals, and usually i would freeze-test a formulation since i don't know the conditions under which it is transported.
