Thoughts on this?

How are the fragrances of lalique?
I found a site where they sell them for a good price. I only found them in online stores so I cant really test them. Which ones are the best?

>Frags that are impossible to date.

I'll start

>>17817405
Poru Homme, Equus and Encre Noir are all nice and safe but rather unremarkable. They also make perfumes for Brioni which I thought had much more identity (at least Eclat and Parfum Intense)

If you were blind buying a cheapie fragrance. Which one would you get?

"Put on and go" for everything. I don't know how these smell like so opinions wanted. Prefer something clean, masculine, easygoing. Dislike dark and serious.

>bentley for men intense
>davidoff cool water
>ck one
>nautica voyage
>something else?

>>17817261
What's your opinion on Original vs Clone fragrances?
I believe it doesn't matter if a clone doesn't smell like the original, I think it's important that it just smells good and lasts long

>>17817405
>>17817421
Also, that came off rather too negative so regardless of what I said, still they're all quality fragrances.

>>17817399
I'm in. The existing threads will already exist so we should sort by date and by last reply.

>>17817424
The answer is of course,bas always, Cool Water

Is there a clone that makes you smell like fruity marshmallows?

>>17817399
I'll drop my bunker post before hunkering down for the next 24 hours when it comes
Should be interesting

What is a slightly cheaper alternative to Creed?

>>17817381
its not a cigarette tobacco
its a very sweet one especially with the whaft of honey
drydown is like the origina le male mixed wieh le male le parfum but made it fall

why is this one faggot obsessing about clones so much? whats with the influx of newfags the past week?

>>17817414
i've never dated a single fragrance

What's a good starting point for niche frags? I wanna start slow with something easy to wear. Lalique? ELDO? Cheapies preferred (up to $100)

>>17817451
Support your local businesses

>>17817461

>>17817464

>>17817446
Who are you talking about? Schizophrenic

>>17817446

>>17817278
topkek chad

What are the best tobacco fragrances? Above average projection + performance. Price max 150 for bottle of 100ml.

>what if women don’t like the fragrance I wear?
Bro, shouldn’t it be the other way around? You’re so charming and handsome and well dressed that she likes how you smell, too. That’s my attitude towards clothing and it’s super fun. Don’t change yourself for women, that’s literally the whole point of having a personality is she likes you for who you are and your quirks and idiosyncrasies.

>>17817424
Cool Water easily

>>17817424
CK One or Bentley for Men Intense.
CK One doesn't smell dated.

Post your 4 for life

>>17817461
Any other Malaysian brands you can recommend?

>>17816951
Avignon by CDG. Apocryphally Morrissey wears it.

Tom ford ombre leather - terrible and overwhelming. So much leather that it turns into fuel oil or some shit.

Bros, which one? I usually go for pale, pink soles, but flashy light soles on dark skin - that shit could make me explode.

>>17817500
Rich people deserve their fate

>>17817561
These toes on the right are disgusting. The tone must be even and smooth for it to be sexy. So left pick any day.

>>17817261
Got this coming in next week. Why does being French give one superior olfactory sense?

>>17817500
>tobacco
Some that actually smell like fresh, spicy, green tobacco, without overload of sweetness.
Maybe Tabac Vert.

>>17817563
>The tone must be even
Not even on whites the case, thankfully. The pale skintone going over to orange or pink is sexy as fuck. Similar from brown to pale on darker girls.

1/2

>>17817584
It just looks awful with those black and pink colors. And that pic you attached also looks distasteful. There's no smoothness in it which was on the first white pic.

>>17817593
Wow, turns out the girl you fuck will like whatever frag you wear, what a shocker.

2/2 thanks bros

lhomme ideal extreme from guerlain

>>17817599
A girl told me a similar thing after smelling my boxers, women just like sniffing stuff regardless of what

>>17817594
I guess it's your taste. I some color contrast.

>>17817496
we're only talking about a handful of them because most are trash
>>17817500
tabac tabou

>>17817593
>>17817599
That's a screenshot from a chat i had with a 10/10. Should've put a watermark on it. The scent actually was Drakkar Noir.

Yeah reminds me of a girlfriend of mine who I "gave" my highest quality flannel with a nice liner in it, she smelled it like all day and she would ask me to take it back and wear it for a while so it smells like me again. "It's losing it's smell :(" lol, and I didn't even wear fragrance or anything, I think it just has to do with the musk of a guy.

>>17817540
AGift With Care, easily, but their men's range was only released this year, so most of their catalogue consists of feminine frags.
I'm planning to test the Olfact3 frags irl at a mall tomorrow, but they're held in the same regard and price range as AGift
I'm still waiting on my discovery set from Rirana, but I've also heard a lot of things about them
Elianto is basically competing with Bath and Body Works(sans the jacked up prices due to the USD-MYR exchange rate)and has only 2 masculine frags(the blue one is pretty decent), but they exist
Adopt is overpriced trash for what it is
Silkygirl and SGMen makes decent drugstore frags, but at least they're original
Szindore mostly makes dupes, but they have a dupe based on the 2010 Aventus, and I heard their in-house originals are good, haven't tried yet
The rest of the things I tried are independent stores on Shopee that only sell domestically, like picrel

>>17817605
But they're not trash, what in the fucking fuck are you talking about? They smell Nice!

>>17817562
What?

>>17817561
Not a feet guy but I would totally suck on the toes of left girls.

>>17817561
I wish my gf had feet like this hers are dry

halloween man x worth getting if i already have spicebomb extreme?

>caron pour un homme is 80€ now
fucking fuck it used to be 35€/125ml

>>17817710
That's on you. Can't believe people complain about having little money and spend it on cigarettes and coffee.
Why can't you be like me? Why can't you buy necessities from the grocery store, save some money and be happy about it?

>>17817720
Are these cigarettes and coffee in the room with us now?

>>17817731
No they aren't

>searching hours by hours on Parfumo and Fragrantica for new suitable
>buy new fragrance, turns out it's not like faggots decribed on the website
>angry as fuck
>go on Parfumo and Fragrantica again for hours, days, weeks searching for notes accords
How to stop this and find suitable fragrance quickly?

>>17817776
Just ask itt bro, goddamn..

Anyone have decent or at least non offensive smelling generic pharmacy brand body sprays or deoderant sprays they use

>>17817781
A longerlasting niche Version of Drakkar Noir or Caesars Man?
The ones i already oen or tried:
Lomani, Bon Monsieur, Duc de Vervins Extreme, Dakar

>>17817807
>>17817807
i dont mean as a fragrance replacement but as a generic upgrade on underarm deoderant for sweaty days where frags would be a waste

So about 10 days ago, i completely cut out added sugar and heavily reduced my simple carb intake. No soda, juices, and limited bread/pasta consumption. It felt like hell as i had a bad fever for a few days, and i'm still getting over it, although i feel much better. But, what i'm here to talk about, is my ball sweat smell. For some reason, i imagine having to do with sugar, my ballsweat smells MUCH better. Like before i'd go a few days witbout washing them and they'd smell rancid. Now i go a few days without washing them (to test for potency) and they smell just fine. I can compare it to before kind of like a much smoother and healthier smell, like comparing a nature frag to the smell of actually being out in nature. Also to add on to this, my body odor has been heavily reduced. Although it may not just be sugar, today i'm 30 days of no porn use.

>>17817821
Why do modern npcs fall into these odd rituals of cutting sugar, porn and other shit? Is it their way to cope with the collapsing western system?

getting bit chilly out lads, tobacco/leather frag?

>>17817534
DHI, NYI, Chypre Palatin, Platinum Egoiste

>>17817814
Roll on antiperspirant.
There are about 2 ways to reduce body odor.
The antiperspirant, which is often belittled for health reasons.
And a healthy diet which is often neglected for comfort and pleasure.
If we decide to neglect a healthy diet but also avoid an antiperspirant for health reasons, then we deserve to face the hygienic consequences.

Anybody else using EDCs? I have Dior Homme Cologne which was signature at first whiff, Eau Sauvage Cologne which is also great for every occasion. I prefer discrete frags with minimal sillage, non offensive.

>>17817534
Tuscan Leather, Neroli Portofino, Oud Wood and Extreme Noir EDP.

>>17817810
>Caesars Man
Caesars man is dirt cheap, don't get me wrong, it is one of my faves. Just reapply it.
If you are so convinced to pay stupid money for it get Tom Ford Beau De Jour.

Bought musk Khabib, sir Winston and pic related for 400 bucks.

How did I do

>>17817810
Bois imperial of course, why are you asking?

>>17817827
This. I've been through all that self-improvement bullshit, and most of the stuff just doesn't work while taking a lot of effort to implement. Unless there's a problem you're trying to fix by following some doctor's advice, just don't waste your time on all this meditation-sugar-nofap crap.

>>17817827
because even the biggest npc start to recognize that they are bad for you?

>>17817898
>Don't stop eating goyslop, it doesn't make a difference. Always eat artificial foods.
>Don't stop watching porn, masturbation is healthy!
Found the glowie

Thoughts?

>>17817919
Eating and sleeping well is something anyone can feel the effects of. Exercising can be added to that list although personally I don't see much profit compared to effort.
It doesn't make any sense to limit yourself in other things like porn beyond what your body tells you or indulge in some spiritual practices like meditation or journaling. Now those are truly goyslop for woke npc's.

>>17817920
Great image. It would be greater if the bottle had the shape of a cock

>>17817451
Don't buy full bottles immediately buy a fuck ton of samples, it's way more fun trying out a bunch of different brands than being stuck with a bottle you might not like. ELDO has some good sample packs on their website. But if you must buy a bottle Lalique does have some cheap snice ones

>>17817922
This is very accurate. I have to add that exercise is worth it because it exhausts us and makes sleep easier.

>>17817261

Has it wrapped around to being good again yet?

What fragrance would suit me, been using cheap B&BW shit and I'm sick of it, need something that'll last a while. Typically drawn to woods/tobacco scents
>pic related

>>17817919
>>Don't stop eating goyslop, it doesn't make a difference. Always eat artificial foods.
That's funny because before 2016 the main 4chan discourse especially on /fit/ was that it doesn't matter what you ate, it's all about calories in- calories out.

Everyone was just recommending just drinking straight oil and eating shit like poptarts to reach caloric goals. Health was regarded as some soiboy liberal hippie lgtb bullshit

Nowadays it has transformed into this weird quasi hippie, new age health cult. Where everything is bad for you, all 'chemicals' are Jewish conspiracies, all plastic is bad in every form and the only thing that can ever be healthy are - natural - ingredients. Even stuff like deodorants, shampoo are evil.
This has spread from /ck/ and /fit/ with their panic towards teflon and vegetable oil to boards like /fa/ where now even a drop of polyester is considered poison.

Its all NPC being programmed to follow these trends that are only reacting to previous trends. Straight bots, semi humans convinced they are enlightened and above 'the sheep'

>>17817278

>>17817399
I don't think enough posters will participate, but I might give it a shot anyway.

What are your thoughts on Sauvage parfum vs BdC parfum? Is there a point in getting both?

>>17817963
Prefer Sauvage. BdC is more versatile. No point in owning both. Large collection? Get Sauvage. Small collection? Get BdC.

>>17817827
Hilarious that unhealthy, obese, drug using and masturbating leftists use the term "NPC" to describe healthy, virtuous and chaste men.

>>17817938
Duc de Vervins L'Extreme

>>17817967
Stop projecting, great virtuous or whatever men don't follow npc 4chan trends of reactionary stupidity.
It is porn addicted most likely obese terminally online incels the ones doing 'no fap' and fighting le jew conspiracy of plastic products

>>17817938
nicolai's bois belize intense

>citrus notes
>lavender
>patchouli
>vetiver

They are about to disappear from the world of perfumery. You can save only two. Which do you save?

>>17817937
give it a few more years, maybe. 8 are not enough, i suspect it might take 12-15.

>>17817999
lavender 100%, probably patchouli. i don't care for patchouli, but i don't hate it. vetiver can be nice, but vetiveryl acetate is a plague and i want it gone. citrus can fuck off.

>>17817261
I don't get how Eau Des Baux is so underrated here.
I can't name a fragrance with these quality ingredients priced less than 60 bucks that also smells awesome and original (pleasantly awesome and original, not in an autist way like EN).
I saw OP's pic and put two spritz of EdB on my forearm. Definitely the underdog of my collection. Botanical aura, warm sweetness but not gourmand... I'm wearing this at home the next week.

Please recommend me a spring/summer frag based on the frags I've tried so far
>BI: 6/10, kinda smelled like coke (the soda) to me
>Kenzo homme EDP: 8/10, liked the "dark marine" vibe, but it lacks complexity
>Kenzo homme EDT: 6/10, smelled a bit too austere
>Kenzo homme intense: 6/10, a worse version of EDP
>Eau des baux: 7/10, it's spicebomb but better, I think I liked the tonka
>Spicebomb: 6/10
>Eros: 6/10, it's a good frag but a bit too sweet and obnoxious, can't smell anything else than sugary vanilla on the drydown
>NYI: 6/10, I don't like that old school scent profile
>Antaeus: 7/10 for the same reason, I can't deny it's a great frag but not for me
>Ganymede: 4/10, opening smells like a car seat and the drydown smells like sweat
>LADDM: 9/10, exceptional frag but too heavy for me and it's something I'd like to smell on a girl, not a man for some reason
>DHI: 8/10, it's great but too powdery for warmer weather
>DHS 2021: 6/10, fairly unremarkable cookie cutter masculine frag
>DH 2020: 6/10, same as above
>GIT: 7.5/10, very nice frag but a bit too sharp and cold
>Aventus: 7/10, not a big fan of the smokyness
>VIW: 9/10, would rate it 10 if not for the shitty performance, excellent frag, relaxed yet classy, refreshing but not just another freshie, impeccable
>Percival: 8/10, I like the fierce dna overall
>Invasion barbare: 6/10, I get it but it's not for me, too powdery
>Le Male: 5/10, same as above but it's not as good
>CDG 2: 7/10, pretty nice and interesting futuristic "inorganic fruity" smell
>BDC Parfum: 9/10, excellent frag in the cold, but becomes really bad when it gets warm
>Voyage d'hermes EDP: 9/10, love that kind of refreshing natural scent
>H24: 7/10, interesting metallic notes but in the end it just smells like laundry
Forgot a few but those are the main ones

>>17817261
I would like to wear something earthy this autumn, bottle must be under 100 dollars and I'd like quality ingredients in it. Nothing too weird or too normie, please

>>17818030
I think you'd like Prada L'Homme L'Eau. Try BDC edt too if you liked the parfum that much.

>>17818032
>earthy
>cheap
>not overused
This one ticks all the boxes

>>17818025
what do you mean it's underrated here? multiple people own it, it's in the charts. what else is there that can or should be done?

>>17818032
reminiscence patchouli elixir. just earthy patchouli.

>>17818038
Is Prada powdery like other iris frags I've tried? I like iris (DHI, the dreamer, bois d'argent), it's soft and relaxing, but powdery frags don't do well in the heat from my experience.
>BDC edt
I might try it out. I don't like the EDP very much (maybe it's the incense)

>>17818040
>ticks all the boxes
That's a floral unisex summerfrag and I'm a man in his middle 30s. Thanks but no.

>>17818045
L'Eau is very light, not powdery at all. Perfect for summer/daytime IMO. Test it, it's everywhere.

>>17818050
Thanks

>>17818021
Toilet air freshener all have lavender. I can't stop associating lavender with toilets now.

>>17817405
the whole Encre Noire series is good. Pour Homme is nice as well

>>17817999
Lavender is the best note in the history of perfumery. Second one I save is vetiver.

>>17817405
I owned and sold equus, lion and EN and EN Sport and they are ok. A bit headache inducing for my taste, probably due to cheap aromachemicals.
Ombre Noire, in the other hand, is a remarkable scent I use in cold weather, but quality comes at a price and you can't buy this for 30 bucks.
>>17817421
>Encre Noir
>nice and safe
anon...

>>17817424
encre noire sport. jeanne en provence acqua if you want something really cheap

bentley intense is pretty serious and a little dark
ck one lasts one minute
nautica voyage smells like sour apple candy. very synethitic and youthful

this fragrance is bussin fr fr no cap. It's the first fragrance I've owned that makes me smell successful and masculine.

>>17818066
Agree.

>>17817534
Dior Homme Parfum, Terre d'Hermes, Encre Noire a l'Extreme, Lalique Pour Homme

>>17817424
>clean, masculine, easygoing
The Dreamer and Tabac

>>17817534
Polo Green, Eau des Baux, The Dreamer, Luna Rossa OG (from cold to warm weather)
I own a few expensive fragrances, but I'm so attached to these for reasons.

>>17818061
my toilet air freshener doesn't have lavender.

>>17817424
>>bentley for men intense
smells like cheap booze and not in a cool sleazy way
>cool water
classic, but at least the bottle I have dries down to the smell of tomato salsa (disgusting)
>ck one
may as well spray water on yourself
>voyage
cheap and probably pretty safe generic blueshit. personally out of these I'd go for this one because of my poor experience with cool water.

>>17817945
>That's funny because before 2016 the main 4chan discourse especially on /fit/ was that it doesn't matter what you ate, it's all about calories in- calories out.
you're mixing up the context. on /fit/ it was never about things like mental effects of food.

>>17818070
>bentley intense is pretty serious and a little dark
are you mixing it up with absolute?

>>17818030
Obligatory Dior Homme Cologne plug.

>>17818114
>yatagan
My most used frags: Polo Green, Eau des Baux, The Dreamer, Luna Rossa OG.
Is Yatagan a safe blind buy for me?

My favorite Dior Sauvage is the Sauvage Elixir. To me it mogs the EDT and EDP, but I'm afraid I can't wear the Elixir in the summer like the rest. Can I wear the Elixir in the summer?

>>17818140
No such thing as a safe blind buy, that's like saying "safe sex (fornication)". Get a sample, dummy.

>>17818145
I can get a full 100ml bottle for 35€. Already told you some of my favs. Do you think it fits my taste?

>>17818146
Something can "fit your taste" on paper but really it's how it smells on your skin and how you think it smells. I think that's about $40 USD so I guess it's not that much to lose if you don't love it, but I would try to sample it. If you can't wait a week for a sample to come in the mail, then go ahead, you probably won't hate it.

>>17818150
Thanks anon!

>>17817261
I use Dior Homme 2020

>>17818143
Sure you can, people near you might hate you but you can wear anything anytime. And if you're a true chad you won't give a fuck what other people think.

t. Gourmand sweet fragrance summer wearer.

>>17817999
Citrus, it's all about the openings for me anyway
I prefer guaiac wood and oakmoss for bases anyway, and lavender is inferior to iris and cyclamen
Patchouli is meh

>>17817608
Alright thanks for the recs.
Nanti saya boleh cuba & beli.

I have no fucking idea what patchouli is supposed to smell like.

>>17818250
If you're willing to take the plunge, I highly recommend Z.Yang from Shopee, which is where that sample vial in my pic came from.
They have one of the best and most affordable petrichor scents I've ever tried, and their prices are still quite low since they're new

>>17817534
pure havane, fahrenheit, bvlgari black, encelade

>>17817534
Clinique Calyx, Davidoff Cool Water and two other local brands

>discover nice fragrance
>it has a dozen flankers
>some of them discontinued

this sort of thing gives me analysis paralysis. I have no way of economically testing or acquiring all this to figure out which one is "best"

>>17818252
go sniff a hippie black man

>>17818304
Go to the mall anon.
Yeah you can't test the discontinued ones for free but if it isn't that many you can buy samples of those.

give me your muskiest musks, fraggots

Serge Lutens Muscs Koublai Khan

if the dad recognizes the scent and finds it pleasing, you know what to do

>>17818352
Dude that's gay

>>17818304
if a fragrance is so fucking unremarkable that you’re actually considering its flankers, there’s a high chance the flankers are equally shit

>>17818339
You're not going to impress him with cologne anon.
Just pretend you're a stand up guy.

>>17818339

What is the definitive Sigma male fragrance?

For the modern ronin/samurai archetype.

>>17818339
just wear the same colon as him

>>17818420

>>17818254
Reporting back from Olfact3 at the Tsutaya bookstore
Bois De L'est and Amun Ra were good. Former is a heavy earthy scent with some astringence, latter is a powdery wood and slightly sweet heavy spice

>>17818469
>Tsutaya bookstore
That's within driving distance for me. I wasn't aware they sold perfume there, lol. Might go this weekend.

>>17818460
For the modern ronin/samurai archetype, not gay/sauna archetype.

>>17818339
Aventus. Fresh, fruity at top, musky, mossy at the bottom.

>>17818432
wearing his colon during anal sex is ultra gay

>>17818532
Alwis and Xavier's also has a display there next to Olfact3, but I couldn't test them well because they sealed the damn tester
I'll be visiting their actual PJ stand another day

>>17817424
I'm interested in Bentley intense as well I would say Davidoff cool water or Calvin Klein one you were not a good Voyage not Nautica right just not a good voyage and I swear to God it's like next to Versace Eros that is the teenage boy smell the same way like every dude when I was in high school discovered Acqua di Gio and everyone the hallways the classroom it was horrifying like no one could breathe because all these guys were jockeying for pussy using as much awkward as you as possible but they were always just using liquidizio together so it Formed like this big cloud and the classroom became the gas chamber at Auschwitz wooden door and all

>>17818598
You know I will say this I have never known of a woman that disliked aventus or even that sort of DNA like the clones and stuff they even like those a lot you've got with spicy Leatherwood all the stuff you've got some people who are into it some people they find it off-putting but every woman is basic a conformist and has bad taste that's the big secret women don't have taste it's bullshit they just copy what they're told to copy and the color in the lines and they get their head pads and that's why they can do a basic thing over and over again all the same way just fine but they don't actually have taste or originality or anything so you want to take off the right box get your bottle of creed I promise you will get a woman who also ticks off your boxes and you can just take off each other's boxes together for the rest of your lives.

Anyone that has tried these?

Sampled a ton of shit. I bought only 4 bottles, L'eau D'Issey pour home, lalique encre noire, Dior Pour Homme Sport, Dakar oil de perfume by Al-Regab. What other stuff should I try based on these frags? I like fougere, citrus, musk.

Japan covered with hills blanketed with tropical forests, undergrowth, moss growing on the bark of trees, the smell of damp forest. Nestled among the hills is a traditional wooden house made of Japanese cedar, infused with resins and fragrant oils. Some elements of this house are new, still fresh, others have darkened over time and their fragrance is mature, subtle. Situated in a valley among tall grasses, this house is built by joining the wooden elements without the use of nails, blending in with nature and being a part of it. The marshy area around it creates ideal conditions for cultivation. The scent of the roots, combined with the scent of damp earth, mingles with the scent of fresh wood and the surrounding moss. This is what AIYOKU smells like.

Is even possible to finish a Dior homme bottle? The tube or whatever is called doesn't even reach the bottom of the bottle

Why do niche perfumery have to so expensive bros. Everything I'd like to own costs more than 100$ and the stuff I like is rarely available in my country.

It’s good, I’m wearing it right now in fact. Like a slightly fresher Encre Noire. My favourite out of the Proraso frags. Doesn’t last a long time though.

Can you guys recommend a good woody floral frag? A bit fresh, a bit green. Kinda like H24 but with lavender and more on the woody side than floral. I also didn't like that metallic note. Haven't tried the H24 edp yet so don't know if that one would be right for me.
If you guys can think of something please let me know.

I'm not back, this thread is still garbage, and most of you don't know anything about fragrance, and are generally very unintelligent, however I'd like to shill for Ecuacionnatural. They have good prices. Discounts. Fast shipping. Always hook it up with samples and papers and extras.

Asked for a Fahrenheit sample at sephora and they didn't have it, they didn't have a tester either. Fuck them
Also Voyage d'Hermes is such a nice frag, man. Sprayed it on my wrist and it's definitely one of the most pleasant frags I've tried, even though it's not really my vibe (a bit too green and "spring like")

>>17818889
top notes only or drydown?

>>17818629
Based, but them having little to no taste also means that if you're attractive enough you can make them like your taste in whatever.

Tried azzario wanted by night by Bisch. Was surprised to see his name on such a meh frag. It smells like barberry, I don't like barberry.

do you guys restructure your collection if you grow out of a frag, or do you just keep everything that you don't need anymore?
I also found that I buy bottles to early, when I should have sampled them 10 times or so

Any other niche scents that get so much praise like this one and actually live up to it?

>>17818983
new york intense is the obvious one. not sure which niche scents are as unanimously acclaimed as those two.

>>17817261
need recs for woodsy fall frags preferably with some amber and spices - would like to avoid overly sweet, overly youthful frags, would also like to avoid iris or dark ouds. think of a spicy dior homme 2020. is this too specific?

>>17818986
Nice. I didn't know about that one. I wonder how many unique hidden gems are out there that I'll never find about.

>>17818945
nice, but it's also funny if you recommend something that is on my list anyway

weird, the drydown of Azzaro Pour Homme is not what I expected at all. It's well done for sure, but not for me

returned my bottle of Azarro most wanted too sweet for me I don’t care if women like it I just don’t feel confident /like an alpha male in it. any frags for unabashedly masculine alpha male feeling?

>>17818975
10/10, full bottle worthy

>>17818983
NYI, Invasion Barbare, Chypre Palatin, Baraonda, Naxos (if we are generous with the 'niche' definition)
Tauer's own ACDD is also a worthy contender

>>17818815
the actual transparent sprayer tube sticks out of the black tube. it's not visible on renders though

>>17819160
That actually brings up a good point I’ve been meaning to ask - Frag, what portable vaporizer do you use if you take a fragrance out with you to work or wherever you go?

Wouldn’t mind finding a good quality one that’s not absolutely plastered with some logo, and is big enough to hold 5~ mls at least. Bonus points for glass.

>>17819222
I usually just fill my watch with 20-30ml of perfume whenever the reservoir is low and whenever I wanna reapply my frag it I just dunk my finger in and wipe it off on my neck and behind my ears.

Blind bought a bottle of encre noire on notino. Everything looks legit, but it doesn't stand still on the table - the bottom is not exactly flat. And in every review the order/contents of the info printed on the bottle is different, e.g. the batch code might be placed vertically or horizontally (horizontally on mine, A2A23, seems like a new batch). Is there something to worry about? Don't wanna spoil first impression by getting a fake.

I'm not convinced. Given the wild variations of allegedly authentic bottles, that could be just a coincidence. Would be glad if someone who's got it at hand could take a look at his.

>>17819264
lel you bought it for 24 EUR?

>>17819024
naxos is trash. found both Invasion Barbare and Cypre Palatin quite overrated. ACDD is pure perfection however.
>>17818983
ganymede lives up to it but I much prefer encelade, despite the praise not being as notorious. not many people speak about ramon monegal here, but Faisa is very hyped in my country (and for a good reason, it's gorgeous)

This is a masterpiece. If you love Dior Homme Intense, you'll love this one. Extremely beautiful

>>17819319
>Dior Homme Intense
I meant Dior homme parfum. Anatolia doesn't have iris tho, but conceptually they are similar

Say about parfums de marly what you will but this is fucking amazing and a top tier summer frag.

>>17818892
Anon, check daring light, also a similar store to Ecuacion, great customer services, also small samples with every order and great prices. Also try chetyre by prin, goth rock fragrance to the max

>>17819327
Makes me sick, it's nauseatingly sweet.

>>17819335
What? I don't know what you interpret as sweetness here, but Sedley isn't really sweet.

Ordered samples of

>the tragedy of lord George
>Heeley Cardinal
Thoughts on any of these?

>>17819343
oh kek I thought you meant the Layton, haven't tried the Sedley. Mea culpa, mea culpa.

Why is Etro so underrated?

It is being widely sold for ~30 eur on lots of stores. Now you can go be a troll somewhere else.

Disappointing. I wanted to smell like a High Mass not the bat part of the zoo

>>17819351
It's for Chads who enjoy scents beyond Sauvage/Bleu de Chanel

Just ordered these samples. How did I do?

>>17819370
what site, looks like a good selection. only mistake was ordering DHI, Hermes Terre DHermes, YSL, Mancera Cedrat Boise, Hermes H24, Versace, Prada, Spicebomb, Giorgio Armani when you could've tried all of these in a store.

Got 5mls of Ombre Leather and Fahrenheit. I think Fahrenheit is better from the opening to the drydown. It also lasts longer. I do think Ombre leather gives a more realistic leather note and Fahrenheit smells similar to gasoline but both fragrances are somewhat similar in the openings, I do get a hint of that gasoline smell from Ombre Leather. For me, Fahrenheit is the better choice as it's cheaper, smells better and lasts longer. I'm not disappointed by Ombre Leather, it does great if one is looking for a more realistic leather reference, it's a good fragrance - in fact I was expecting it to be linear based on some comments I've read online however it's quite the opposite with notes of Jasmine in the middle, this is a complex fragrance with good depth, definitely worth the money.

Any fragrances that give an off-putting, ominous vibe? Like something bad is going to happen? Maybe something "repulsive" but in a dark beautiful way?

So I've tried that encre noire, and it's good. A bit medicinal at the beginning, but then it starts smelling smoky with prominent juniper. But it's so damn weak, I almost don't feel it from just one spray.

>>17819351
i'm not sure if anyone here knew Le Feu d'Issey but Etro Etra is its best clone/dupe (with Map Of The Heart V4 as a close second)
fuck Issey Miyake for never bringing it back
i also have Musk (pretty good), Pegaso (good) and Greene Street (good but maybe not for me) from the house

>>17819370
+1 for testing most of these in a store for free
NYI is really good tho

>>17819311
feel free to hate on naxos (and jerkoff in general) but it's definitely not trash
also if Ganymede is any similar to Bois Imperial then it can't be a classic, hopefully the original is better than the extrait version - that smells awful with a strong hint of curry in the drydown (at least on my skin)

>>17819376
The perfumed court from the OP. I should've thought about sampling at the mall, but also don't mind wearing these for a day or 2 since there's a good chance i'll like them

Damn man, vetiver is so comfy and warm.

How can somebody not like cypress + vetiver? That's such a chill and nice combo, especially with a bit of fruits in the background.

>>17819392
not hating on jerkoff, I acually like a few of their fragrances (tony iommi, more than words, symphonium), but naxos is just very poorly executed. the opening is bland citrus and the heart is just a well blended sweet honey tobacco. pure havane and inssurection wild do this so much better. they're dirty and become more interesting. naxos feels super linear and one dimensional, which is not inherently bad, but when your idea of a perfume is just honeyed tobacco... it falls super flat.
yeah, heard the extrait was a curry bomb. they share akigalawood, but are very different. bois imperial is a fresh woody fragrance with hints of spices and aromatics. ganymede is more layered. it has the saffron, the leather, the akigalawood which is subtler than in bois imperial. ganymede has a futuristic opening that's absolutely stunning. it's very sterile, while BI is more welcoming.

>>17819400
>naxos
your description is missing lavender which is one of the main notes of naxos
i think it's a well executed and interesting frag but we can agree to disagree on this one
>ganymede
i might test it later on, thanks for the clarification
yeah, the extrait is definitely a curry bomb, i have no clue how that frag passed QC and blind tests desu

Is this a fucking joke?

Read both editions of the Turin book cover to cover (with flashcards to make sure you are remembering things) and only then come back to this thread.

>>17818844
For what it's worth, based on my tiny sample, it does smell exactly like you'd thought it would based on the description.

>>17819222
Checked and good question. Would be great with a transparent window where you can see how much parfum is left.
inb4: picrel are aluminium and plastic, but not top notch quality.

>>17819264
I have the sport flanker and it has the same thing. Notino is legit but anyway, no worries, they are not going to fake a 20 bucks fragrance for autists. Enjoy your 100ml of Iso E Super.

>>17819222
ecuacion natural has a pretty good portable vaporizer

>>17819452
I do enjoy it. Didn't expect to like it at first sniff after reading all those catchy reviews ("difficult to understand, only fragheads will get it", "smells like death" lmao wut), but it turned out to be something for me. I'm a bit autistic btw, so I guess that's a match made in heaven. Gonna wear to the office now.

Yes. A bottle of Quorum is the only frag I carry in my gym bag. They know I'm not a faggot and it's perfect after lifting hard.
