Another fucking based store from Spain

I got a sampler of Caron fragrances and have been wearing them the last week or so. Here is a person with a bad sense of smell thinks of them:
>pour un home de Caron
My favorite one, nice and simple. I love lavender and I love vanilla
>yuzu man
My second favorite one sublet, fresh, sweet, and a little citrusy. This one was my gf’s favorite too. Smell doesn’t last too long if you spray it on your skin though, had better performance spraying on my clothes.
>pour un homme de Caron le soir
I like this one a lot too but not as good as the original. If you really like that oak smell and lavender this one is for you
>le 3rd homme de Caron
I don’t like it at the start but then it drys up and has a really nice powdery smell kind of gives me a headache upon initial application though
>yatagan
Grandpa smell reminds me of visiting my grandma in the sad old folks home she had to live in at the end of her life.

I've noticed that I don't enjoy smelling my fragrances when I'm Moody.

Rec me something that gives you the vibe of being in an 70s bar in USA, you smell whiskey, cigarettes, burnt leather, sweet smelling waitresses and some country music played on the piano in the background. I basically want something dirty, masculine, almost animalic but has some sweet notes.

>>17811688
you could try Replica - Jazz Club

>>17811689
Thanks. I'll make a list and go to the mall later today so I can try most of the perfumes I've put my eye on.

When buying perfumes, why most of the collectors go for the biggest bottle possible? Why aren't people going for the smaller bottle, then if they include it into their rotation or whatever, they can buy a bigger bottle. Plus, 50ml can last you for a long fucking while.

>>17811728
because of the price progression: the smallest bottle looks ridiculously expensive compared to the largest one

>>17811688
Serge Lutens - Écrin de fumée

>>17811688
jazz club as normie as it is

would you guys pay 30 more dollars from a 3.4 ounce to a 6.8 oz? 30 more dollars for double or would it literally go bad by then

What’s the strongest Pine and woods fragrance i can get for under 40 euros ? (Something that smells like a pine forest) Thanks in advance

-Jeffrey E.

>>17811812
most fragrances are alcohol based with 5-20% being the scent ingredients so I think they would last a really long time

>>17811840
this one

Anyone tried pasha de cartier parfum? No store has it since only cartier is allowed to sell it and there is no cartier store here

>>17811840
Forget it photorealistic pine scents are expensive.

>>17811880
If you live in Ireland I have a bottle you can just have

It’s a bit cloying and smells “rich” in an unpleasant, exhibitionist kind of way

Makes me feel like a crypto grifter

>>17811878
I know that one it smells synthetic and perfoms worse than 7411

>>17811878
probably smells like car freshener

>>17811728
I've started to only buy samples because of this.

>>17811688
Fahrenheit Parfum? Bel Ami could work too of you want the old school animalic leather
Bentley Intense on a budget

>>17811840
Yatagan?

>>17811889
I live in belgium if we can share exchange email can ya send it to me? I will pay for the shipment fees

mom said it's my turn to make the fragrance general

>>17811878
smells like plastic

Why do you buy fragrances if you're ugly, lack style and have ass-breath?

>>17811983
Second on Bel Ami. Nice leathery and mossy, but still citrusy uplifting.

>>17811625
Next sample the Guerlain masculines. Give yatagan another shot.

>>17812184
Ross, TJMaxx, Winners, Slavation Army

>>17811461
garbage as always

>>17812184
Anon, if you're all those things you have bigger priorities than not smelling like Dior Sauvage.

>>17811880
My notes from a sample are:
Indistinct slightly aromatic cooking spice with a bit of armpit and touch of mold, NOT good,
But I dislike 95% of all colognes and have only bought full bottle a few times out of about 100 samples. The better ones I buy a 5 ml sample.

Any good fall/spring fragrances that are good for the office?

>>17812487
Guerlain vetiver, vinechy vetyveer

>>17812487
Paco rabanne one million

>>17812574
why?

>>17812199
Did Harry Potter cast a spell for a bunch of fags to spawn in his room?

>>17812589
kekk

>>17812487
Tear Dhermes

>>17812578
it's the best fragrance!
it's also suitable for the fall

Thoughts on BRUT EDT??
Looking at reviews online people say that it doesnt last at all... is it true? It might be dirt cheap (5$) , but there is no reason to own something that doesnt last even 2 hours.

>>17812707
Got it because reviews said it smells like sartorial and because my grandpa used to have an old bottle. Truly vomit-worthy, the only bottle I ever literally threw in the trash in a few days.
It was probably good once but it should have been discontinued instead of being permitted to keep existing.

>>17812589
FAGPENDO

>>17812487
I always like wearing Terre d'Hermes is the fall and spring

which azzaro for fall/winter?

im confused by their naming scheme

>>17812574
>Paco rabanne one million
>office
God damn no one million is a youthful clubbing frag

>>17812936
Wanted by night

>>17812952
how's it compared to the most wanted le parfum?

What are the biggest differences between designer, luxury designer, and niche perfumes?

Question - I have been using Le Male as my locker-room after gym fragrance.

Will the gays think I'm cruisin'?

>>17812973
i get crazy headache with le male

>>17812969
>designer
Made to be liked by the masses. Quality varies a lot.
>luxury designer
Made to be liked by the masses but usually with more natural and higher quality ingredients. Often times by renowned perfumers. Sometimes with scents that take a step or two in a more niche direction.
>niche
Usually high quality ingredients with scent profiles that don't aim to please the masses.

Which one of you faggots is that? Anyways congrats on Russian Adam sharing your shitposts

>>17812973
I think you are

>>17812977

>>17812969
they are pretty useless terms nowadays
many of the brands referred to as niche also make mass-appealing, synthetic scents in a designer style
all the terms tell you is the price and brand image of a house

What does /frag/ think of my smelly water ?

>>17813053
mid

Which one?

just tried bois impérial in this one store
very crisp, but i(s way too spicy imo

>>17813053
>Drakkar Noir, Bogart Gold Edition, Azzaro P.H., Kouros, Ted Lapidus
I dick it.

>>17813063
I tried all of them at the mall at least twice each, I ended up liking the all black one at the bottom. I bought it the other day. I don't really like cinnamon or spices and I'm a young guy, so I don't mind the sweetness.

>>17813113
Spices aren't bad per se, but like in Wanted they smell cold and synthetic, bad artificial.
It's like watching a VK erotic movie on a TV tube on 640x480 resolution, while with Bois Imperial you smell spices on 16k à 15360×8640 olfactory resolution.

are you that Indian guy I keep hearing about

Anons confusing me with the New York Intense, Prin, Prissana indian guy. I'm the half black dude doing amateur porn.

>>17811689
>>17811810
disregard these faggots they suck cocks

>>17813053
lose the aventus and bleu and replace the bleu with anateus and you have a good collection.

>>17813053
99% percentile

thoughts on this?

>>17813053
Loose vetiver extreme and get Guerlain vetiver. What’s your most worn frag over the summer in your collection?

>>17813166
That’s not much better. I’m getting more and more turned off to the fragrance stuff. Is it really just for Indian guys and lustful black guys? :(

>>17813182
just get Rochas Man. it did the whole "lavender and latte" thing much earlier and for quite a bit cheaper

>>17813182
I tried it at the mall, was decent and made me think of what I would wear if I was around this one girl. Probably the most attractive girl I grew up with. She’s gorgeous and brilliant, loves coffee too, loves it so much she got a liver problem and she can’t have it anymore. If I was going somewhere and knew she was going to be there, I would try to find the best coffee fragrance out there and wear it around her, mog her goofy boyfriend she’s had since 10th grade. Kms.

>>17813223
>coffee frag
>sweet
>gourmand
i'm so tired of this shit

>>17813223
you can never usurp the goofy boyfriend

I got this for 25 bucks because apparently it smells like Elysium. And yes, this is to Elysium what Explorer is to Aventus. Performance is just as shitty like Elysium

>>17811508
Why are German women so manly and ugly especially compared to Scandi women?

What's the next step?

>>17813503
to redecorate your face

What's a good warm spicy/cinnamon fragrance for winter apart from Burberry london for men?

>>17813166
> the New York Intense, Prin, Prissana indian guy
Who? I swear to god you’ve been making up too many thread personalities here. Go to Reddit or sth

>>17813542
Spicebomb

>>17813223
Try Akro Awake, rhe most realistic coffee I’ve ever smelled.

>>17813491
>women with masculine features
>MtF with feminine features
Right? It's a huge fetish of mine.

>>17813560
No point, she's practically married to the guy. I don't even drink coffee personally.

>>17813220
Unironically yes.

Sotd Dior Fahrenheit

Is the boise imperial meme still active

No, you don't need more

>>17813689
what about summer, though?

>>17813542
>>17813554

Has the OG Spicebomb been reformulated into shit like they did with Extreme?

>>17813696
Combine Cool Water with Fahrenheit.

>>17813689
How is azzaro pour homme longevity? Ive heard it's no bueno

Guys what if fragrance but.. With le Tonka bean!

>>17813796
>$25
Do you actually own Cool Water? How is the projection/performance?

I've been wearing Dior Fahrenheit recently and been loving it but I just have one complaint. I don't know how to hide my half-chub when I get a whiff of it. Any tips?

I got this as a gift. Thoughts?

It's a very safe 'niche' scent, smells designer in my opinion. I knew of it but I had never tried it.

what am I in for bros?

>>17813834
eros + citrus
I remember trying this at a store and I really liked it and when I got a free sample I hated it, not sure if it due to the bias of it being too popular

>>17813798
Not as good as years ago, but still good enough to buy it. 5 hours on my skin

>>17813834
my favorite out of all the Versaces from when I smelled it in the mall

>>17811461
>>17811462
How often are these updated? Do you /fa/gs ever go to a store and try out difference frags? What are some good stores for their selection/price/etc

>>17813831
This and Pure Havane smell like lip balm to me

Hey /fa/ I just got the Akro Discovery set . What did I think of it?

Is there anything good from Mancera?

>>17813826
stop wearing tights, faggot

>>17814003
what else am I supposed to wear when biking

>>17813831
Didn't like it. To me that's a headache scent.

>>17813662
the coomer has moved onto shilling other scents

>>17812442
thats not a cologne
>>17813812
average freshie level
>>17813964
how's the coffee frag?

>>17814001
I like wave musk, and get a sample of red tobacco - even if you won't like it. everyone should experience this level of SYNTHETICS. It's something else.

>>17814024
didn’t han solo die? is this ai deepfake

>>17813767
it's weaker, but still good

I got a sample of this and I never really tried an oud fragrance (at least non-synthetic) and is it supposed to smell like a blue cheese served on a worn shoe?

>>17814482
>oud
>smell like human feces
feature not a bug

Thoughts on dupe fragrance brands like ALT, Oakcha and Dossier?

>>17813223
Coffee affects your liver? Are we just all going to ignore what this dude just said?

>>17814535
Hahaha

I thought about it too, but not worth the time.

SOTD: Eros EDP

>>17814535
>>17814588
Idk if it was liver or whatever the hell it is. She had so much caffeine she got a... I don't know what to call it, she can't have caffeine/coffee with caffeine anymore. I don't know if you call it a malfunction or a disease or a disorder or what. The point I was trying to illustrate was she really likes coffee but can't have it anymore, hence the coffee fragrance.

>>17814878
you’re a bad influence and no different from someone offering a former smoker a cig

SOTD Jules
>>17814849
Too generic homeboy.

>>17814150
I thought it was particularly good. Opens with a black coffee burst that after a few minutes feels like it has the bergamot tartness from bleu de chanel on top, and a sandalwood base underneath. As it dries down the tartness goes away entirely and the coffee becomes softer and sweeter. I think this and Dark are the two easiest frags from Akro to wear, and I'll add Smoke to the list because the opening on Smoke is Harsh, real Harsh, but the drydown is much much warmer and sweeter like a tonka bean Tabacco Vanille (minus the vanilla). The Akro lineup is more conceptual than pragmatic thought (Haze and Night would be particularly hard to wear), cuz Ink is a crisper/more piercing version of Encre Noir, and Malt is just meh/boring (i think the only one that fails to evoke the target scent).

>>17814945
women don’t even like men that look like that
your so clueless

>>17814882
Probably why I'm a lonely faggot reject

What's the best broke-tier fragrance for all occasions?

I'm talking 30 bucks or less.

Something sensible I don't want to smell like dracula or some tryhard aesthetic.

>>17815408
Davidoff Cool Water for $25

>>17815453
+1

SOTD: mogging everyone around with half a spray

gonna go try the new gucci elixir pour homme and pick up j.f. schwarzlose + gallivant frags

SOTD: ambra aurea pre-formulation batch

KEK, sniffed this today out of amused curiosity and it was total mall-core synthetic shaving foam-slop as expected
it makes me optimistic that the worst low hanging fruit quality in products can be indicated by how commercially it is marketed and how famous of a face is marketing it. The fact that you see something advertised in TV or in an app with a Hollywooder no longer signifies dignity or quality, we're past that as a society and i'm filled with glee about it.

>>17815408
CW is one of the best frags all time regardless of price

Just blind bought Encre Noire on a sale, hope it's gonna be good

Just tried bulgari aqva pour homme edt - it smells very similar to fahrenheit after 5-10 minutes. Less complexity though.

>>17815848
how in the hell does aqva smell like fahrenheit?

>>17815816
the Dior Homme line has Robert Pattinson as its face and it's good
honestly I don't even remember recent fragrances being advertised by celebrities, Dior are big on it but I can't recall anyone else

>>17815870
There is a clear rubber/gasoline note in it. It feels a bit different than in fahrenheit, more fresh, but it's there.

thoughts?

>>17815880
Literally who?
>>17815841
How much was it?
>>17815848
Interesting. I like them both but never thought of them being similar. But now that you say it I can see how the seaweed and violet notes create a similar sharp petrol accord. So does Tom ford oud minerale

This is a favorite frag ! :-)

>>17815885
it's nice, very easy to like. I wish it projected better though. wouldn't mind smelling it on a woman as well, could be a unisex release

>>17815894
i see thanks, i'm broke right now and this seems like a nice deal for 40-50 bucks

>>17815888
100mL for around 20 eurorubles

I wish PdN would bring it back. I've never been able to find a replacement.

The closest is like a mix of Cartier Roadster and Caron's 3rd Man.

>>17815902
Nice. I like it but haven’t purchased a bottle of it yet. It’s similar to Guerlain vetiver extreme and Guerlain homme leau boissee. Smells a bit too synthetic for my taste but occasionally it’s nice. I used up my entire sample.

>>17815880
Kek I was just thinking today who thought getting this guy for the ads was a good idea...
>>17815816
Myslf amongst all the other recent releases is the fragrance equivalent of a pixelized jpg that's been saved a 100 times already.

How do you not get ripped off buying a Creed on ebay?

>>17815954
Stop trying to buy expensive perfumes for cheap

Go for Loewe esencia instead

>>17815957
>Loewe esencia
smelled this at an airport 10 years ago. remember it being very good.

alternative for la nuit de l'homme but actually lasts more than 5 minutes?

it's CdG 2 season baby

Any other cheapies worth blind buying just to try new shit?
I paid 25 dollars for this and even if it was shit, I wouldn't mind because it was only 25 dollars.
It's good btw, reminds me of a muddy forest.

>>17816028
Define the range of what you consider "cheap".

>>17816037
Under 50 dollars.

>>17816037
light blue intense
cherry smoothie zara

Best all rounder BLUE parfum? Not EDP, not EDT, parfum. All I can find on notino is either Eros (isn't blue) and RL blue (also not blue)

>>17816050
Unironically Blue de Chanel Parfum, personally I don't like it though. I prefer YSL/Dior's take on blue scents but for all rounder use Chanel is best.

Like a mix of platinum egoiste and vintage D&G. Why don't they make em like this anymore?

>>17811460
This is fashion, not faggots.

Copped a 50ml bottle of Ghost in the Shell after loving it in their sample pack.

Opens with a powdery citrus combo of Yuzu and Jasmine, dries down into a very pleasant soapy/metallic/milky and slightly floral musk. Very much a skin scent.

Reminds me of dove soap/baby lotion but in a futuristic sort of way.

Very hard to describe, both natural and synthetic smelling at the same time. Avant garde but mass appeal.

>>17816081
>Avant garde but mass appeal
Literally the end game and something I'm looking for in frags.

I just wish prin wasn't gay, because I love his fragrances but I don't want my money go to a faggot

>>17816050
why does it have to be a parfum? the distinctions are useless in the age of modern synthetics

>>17813834
Why is this sold out in my country what the fuck? This often happens when I finally find something I want, it's so over.

WTF? The west is truly collapsed... Thanks God unique individuals with PATRICIAN TIER taste such as myself exist, truly a redpilled blessing
Sieg heil!

Received a sample of Roja Ocean. People literally pay 300+ bucks for Roja? This shit smells like your typical citrusy, flowery summer scent.
Apex was bs, now Ocean. Never try anything of Roja further.

>>17816179
yes, roja dove is just a really clever scam artist. took you long enough to figure it out.

rec me a parfum, not edp. budget is €150, preferably a good all rounder or good in the cold seasons. So far my only options are either Eros parfum or RL blue.

>>17816200
>a parfum, not edp
Wait, is there a difference?

>>17816207
well yes, parfum is more concentrated than the edp.

>>17816210
t's written out as extrait de parfum

edp and parfum are the same

>>17816216
looks like I am retarded in the dick. pls rec me parfum extracts, then.

Finally got an email that Roelen is shipping to the US, finally time to grab a sample set.
Hop on it /frag/ some snice stuff in their collection.

>>17816237
Fuck they also doubled their prices for bottles, fuck shit

i just placed on order for EP Divine Vanille for teh lulz, i will use it as a fall/winter dumb reach cheapie
i also bought some masstige samples because why not:
>Boadicea Imperial
>Amouage Beach Hut Man
>Amouage Gold Man
>Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special
>Montale Black Aoud Intense
>PdN Bois Bélize Intense
>PdN Caravanserail Intense
>PdN Patchouli Intense

did i do good?

>>17816287
>>17816291
lol their website looks fake AF

Bvlgari aqva oud Minerale and Dior Fahrenheit all smell the same

>>17816302
yeah it's going to suck kek

>>17816028
Alvarez Gomez edc, cool waters, tabac edt, spieck edt

I need a frag for holidays on Hawaii, what do you recommend?

>>17816304
Spotted the indian

>>17816028
Jaipur Homme and Lalique Lion were ones I've really enjoyed recently

>>17815977
How long does the most recent formulation last?

>>17816081
ordered a sample, I’ll let you know how I like it. I like the “metal” of Sauvage and the gas of Fahrenheit, hope I like the “metal” in this

>>17816102
Russian frags sound cool, any recs

>>17816129
this

>>17816216
No it's not, edp and Parfum are different concentrations

The newfags In these threads are getting fucking annoying

>>17816349
Despite the name that's not even russian tho, prin is from Thailand.

>>17816333

>>17816364
ok leave then lol

>>17816271
>Amouage Gold Man
I have a few sample vials of the vintage, incredible but i mostly only wear it for weddings. Its pretty over the top.

>>17812184
but I'm none of those things.

>>17812487
Eau Des Baux from L'Occitane is nice.

>>17811460
Why does this frag generate so much seethe?

>>17816200
Eros Parfum is Eau de Parfum concentration by the way. The name has nothing to do with the concentration, and the name also has nothing to do with the actual fragranace oil content. There's no legally binding definition of extrait, edp, edt, edc etc.
Eros EdP and Eros Parfum both contain 70% alcohol, although they might have different water content, so it's impossible to tell their actual fragrance oil concentrations.

>>17816364
Not necessarily, doesn't have to be, not in any legally binding way.

>>17816379
Probably because every A&F store smelled like it? It's a good fragrance, but people tend to hate the popular stuff.

Any classic fall fragrances with the same feeling as Eau Sauvage? I don't mean the same notes, but Eau Sauvage for me feels very classic and goes well with a linen shirt in the summer. I want to find a fragrance for cooler weather that's got the same sort of old school feeling (for lack of a better term) and goes well with oxford shirts and wool sweaters

>>17816384
>classic
>chemical ammonia/ambroxan smell

nah dawg.

>>17816382
Contrarians being contrarian.

>>17816391
are you fucking retarded? Where's the ambroxan in Eau Sauvage? dumbass newfag, don't post if you have no idea what you're talking about

>>17816091
It’s a great juxtaposition. And I suppose fits the creative direction and influence of Ghost in the Shell.

It’s both human (natural notes, milk accord) and inhuman (sharp citrus synthetics, cold metallic).

There are moments where I’m not sure I even like it, but the weirdness smoothes out to something very nostalgic and comforting.

It’s hard to explain. Definitely sample and don’t blind buy. I’ve heard polarising things with skin chemistry on this one.

>>17816335
You sure did you smelly Jew

>>17816395
he’s retarded and confused eau sauvage with sauvage

Nishane Fan Your Flames is such a disappointment for me. I was hoping for a nice coconut/rum combo but all I get is this medical cedar-smelling thing, which reminds me vaguely of Black Afghano.

>>17816398
yeah, he really shouldn't be posting in the frag thread being that retarded

>>17816380
>>>17816364 (You) #
>Not necessarily, doesn't have to be, not in any legally binding way

Give me an example of a fragrance in the same line that the Parfum concentration is lower than the edp. I'll wait

>>17816384
Cooler weather, try any Guerlain masculine classics, vetiver, heritage, habit rouge, most similar but denser than eau sausage is Guerlain Coriolan, rereleased as L'Âme d'Un Héros but can find the original on the gray market.

>>17816404
Why do you care about concentration so much when most of the time, at least for designers, it has nothing to do with smell or longevity?

Any frags that give comfy vibes? I got By The Fireplace and i like to spray it and just stay inside, very comfy.

>>17816405
I loved Vetiver when I tried it but to me, it actually felt more like an early spring fragrance. Maybe I'm just autistic about fragrances, lol. I haven't tried any of the others, I'll see if I can get some samples. Thanks anon

>>17816411

>>17816411
phone posting but

Cold - Dior LHomme Intense
Warm and hot - Acqua di Gio EDP.

I'm basic, tested so many frags that in the end I remained with these two as my go to.

>>17816406
I don't give a fuck about it, I was just correcting the other anon

>>17816384
Boucheron Pour Homme EDP for a somewhat similar fragrance, but heavier and with much better performance that will be more suited to the cold
I also like Lalique Lion as far as slightly old school styled scents go. it's snice in colder weather, but more of a creamy sandalwood experience

Lost Cherry by Tom Ford or Creed's Silver Mountain Water for the evening?

So people that live in NYC: what is the newest hype nowadays?
my shitty western european country seems to hop on whatever is popular there but is a few years late - right now santal 33 (and BR540) is insanely popular

what is the newest meme frag so i can get ahead of the curve??

>>17816482
Guerlain vetiver is what I smell in Manhattan

Sauvage smells like an 18 year old’s Axe body spray, how tf does it go with button down shirts

>>17816482
The fuck? In the realm of fragrance it's usually Europe that sets the trends.

>>17816413
Burberry London

>>17816482
I live in a capital city in central europe and one of my friends swears that he can smell bois imperial on all the hipster guys
I have no idea how this could be considering it's not even in any of the big chain stores

>>17816509
cool, another drooling retard
lurk 10 years before posting in this general again

>>17816509
it's all so tiresome

fragrances for a travelling salesman?

>Eros EDT got cloying for me
>DHI is nice but I'm tired of it
>Imagination is nice but I'm tired of it also shit performance
>BI is alright but I got tired of it real quick
>Kenzo EDP was quite good I think I'll get tired of it if I get a full bottle
>CAHSEE is nice but that sweet lemon is something I'll get tired of fast
Fuck man why can't I find a frag that I really love? Everything ends up boring me a few weeks in. I want something that I constantly go "man this smells good" whenever I catch a whiff of it. I remember some frags used to make me feel like this but I don't remember which ones.

another 13 gives me an headache now

I'm putting together a sample pack for my gf any recs? She already has and really likes diptyque do son, Tom Ford black orchid, byredo 1996, Cartier must and anything with a lot of amber

>>17816562
Easily satisfied pleb

>>17816514
He probably thinks that anything with a distinct basil note, which is half of the generic old school men's colognes, must be Bois Imperial.

>>17816531
Bottega Veneta Pour Homme

>>17813834
Projects like a beast and pulls compliments easily. This is the definition of a clubbing fragrance.

>>17816556
Why dint you try something that's not poo

>>17816580
Give me examples

>>17816556
Dior Fahrenheit

I love black outfits giving off sad/sophisticated/serious vibes. What would be the optimal frag fit?

>>17816587
nah

>>17816602
Fuck off then
>>17816594
I'm 25 and so far I've disliked most if not all "old school" vibe frags I've tried, will this be different

>>17816587
tabac original, knize ten, caron pour un homme
>>17816605
>will this be different
it'll filter you

>>17816605
It definitely smells to me like a drunk uncle on a family party, so yeah, it's old school. Nostalgic tho.
NTA, 25yo as well.

>>17816612
lol
>>17816613
I'll try it anyway
I do need something wearable in the heat though, it never quite gets cold here

>>17816612
lol recommending knize ten to frag noobs is funny as shit

>>17816605
old school new school who cares it's sovlful

Thoughts on these?

>>17816682
The first one is total dog-ass overpriced piece of junkshit, the other must be the same if you put them together in a post.

>>17816682
You just posted both my signature frags. Aventus for spring and summer, Layton for fall and winter.

>>17816682
both designed to part fools and their money. as evidenced by >>17816687, it clearly works.

>>17816605
bois imp

>>17816691
I even tipped the people who sold it to me.

>>17816682
I got the CDNIM and wear it to the gym as recommended by the street shitting coomer.
I got layton in the mail right now and will report on it next week

>>17816716
>tfw yolu have CDNIM LE and Detour noir

>>17816613
>drunk uncle
hot
drink uncles are hot

>>17816682
Aventus isn't worth the money because it doesn't last long and the clones does this scent profile better than the original. I do like Layton but I know it's hated on /frag/ and on reddit, it's a very safe mass appealing scent, severely overpriced however.

>>17816739
Creeds are still $150+ more than any PDM on discounters. I do not mind paying discounted price for Layton

>>17816760
I have some on right now, way too sweet for me and performance isn't great for me.

What's /frag/s opinion on these? What would you recommend for a guy who lives in a small town and has never encountered another guy wearing a fragrance?

>>17816827
Have you tried forming a personal opinion instead of needing 4chan for every decision you make

I've tried moustache Rochas today and while I somehow liked it, I feel like there's something about it that makes me nauseous

>>17816832
stfu faggot
>>17816827
Sauvage edt is the safest bet, especially if no one around you wears perfumes. Bleu de chanel if youre an older guy. ysl if youre younger. The other two would come down to personal taste. I wouldnt consider elixir to be in the same category as the rest, could be off putting for someone who's just starting and or isnt used to smelling heavy middle eastern types of perfumes. I would pick sauvage edt.

>>17811460
cologne for this aesthetic?

>>17816401
yeah if somebody sprayed Fan Your Flames on your arm and didn't tell you what it was, you probably wouldn't pick out coconut, at least not right off the bat. it's been a while since I tried it but it was not at all what I expected. I kinda liked it however.

>>17816912
the fuck is a middle eastern type supposed to smell like you bigot?!

>>17816827
all of them are safe scents for frag baby newbies

what is a good all rounder frag? good for the entire year or at least 3 seasons. I was thinking BVLGARI BLV because it's a nice take on the blue frags, not aquatic at all, gingery, citrusy, fresh and it works in the autumn too but not in the winter.

>>17811460
I hate this thread
complete waste of money
you can literally create your own scent with essential oils which are natural and healthier
thia synthetic crap smells bad

>>17816983
how long will this take you if you mix, let's say, 3 top notes, 3 heart notes and 3 base notes?

>>17816509
>he dislikes the scent of 18teen year yrolds

>>17811460
Bad frags don’t exist. Only untrained noses.

>>17811625
grandpa scents are sexy

why is everyone saying sotd why the f even is that

>>17816561
bump

>>17811878
Smells like a mosquito candle and something syrupy.

>>17811840
Aspen.

>>17814531
Their Aventus and Oud Wood dupes are really good. Everything else was a miserable failure.

Anybody tried the new RL green label EDP? Is it worth it? How does it compare to the new one. How is EDP vs EDT in this situation. I had an older bottle and being a green perfume with some fougere notes, it was alright for every occasion.

>>17817098
I am this anon.

Or should I just stick with ELDO Marquis de Sade/Tom of Finland

>spend hundreds on niche and designer fragrances to be told I smell like a jalapeno

>Drakkar Noir, Jaguar and Lapidus are all I rotate now for collectively less than a bottle of Basedvauge

>>17817101
try Guess Seductive Homme.

>>17816827
bad
>>17816951
is this... gothrock?!
>>17816982
bois imperial

Opinions on this?

>>17814214
I got some small decants for Red Tobacco and Cedrat Boise just to give it a shot. CB was meh, I liked Red Tobacco's opening but hated the drydown lol. Tried a local house's dupe of RT at a mall the other day, that one smelled much better than the original anytime

>>17811460

>>17817127

>>17816411
>Tfw equitorial climate
There's only "hot", "hot and miserable humid" and "air conditioner" for me instead
What do

>>17817132
Blue or green frags but I would stick with blues.

>>17816983
Essential oils can be health hazards if you don't know what you're doing, don't fuck around with essential oils anon

>>17817134
Lol. Blues outside of Sauvage Elixir get annihilated by the humidity here within like 2 hours everytime I go out. As if modern Cool Water isn't already gimped as fuck :(

>>17817140
I lived in a subtropical climate you can cut the air with a knife every cockroaches that flew they were the size of your fist but generally speaking you got to overspray and you spray into your clothes and even your hair and even then you got to know what your body chemistry and sweats like because this shit is absolutely going to mix with your sweat up here I can just put some lotion on and then do a couple of sprays on top of that and everything is crisp and clear for like 6 hours the equator is a totally different ball game

>>17817144
I've just resorted to using local frags tailored to my environment and reserving international ones for "air conditioner" environments.
Steel Magnolia has yet to fail me in every weather I've braved thus far. I'll probably upgrade to the EDP when the EDT runs out, that shit lasted on the test strip for 3 days

>>17817101

holy shit

layer some DHI + jpg elixir

that fucking honey tobaccoo from elixir combined with that lipsticky coco from dhi is fucking divine

Need a good rec. I am a pediatrician (male) working in outpatient, so no hospital, just clinic. I need a neutral EDT with discrete sillage, something fresh, either minty, fruity or citrusy, no leather, tobacco, vetiver or strong scents but also not sterile.

What are the best hot weather frags with at least decent performance?

>>17817240
l'eau d'issey pour homme, bois imperial, avestan

>>17813394
this has been my favourite fresh summer scent for years and it's so cheap as well

>>17817122
Bunp. Sounds good and I like their shave products

>>17816556
have you tried DHP? it's more complex and evolving than DHI

>>17816912
Thanks. I tried YSL Y EDP and it seemed too lineny and car air freshener to me, gonna try Sauvage EDT and EDP and BDC EDP today I’ll buy whatever one I like more.

>>17817099
