The Fragrance Groups 101 Chart

The Fragrance Flowchart for Beginners

First for my favourite non transitioned gay Thai

>>17819576
Let's talk about Quorum.

>>17819611

A guy on basenotes posted it, so apparently yes, it's coming back and for the "cheap" line

>>17819576
Believe it or not, I'm a Catholic priest and I'm looking for an austere scent (please, not Encre Noire ). I want a fragrance that fits me and it's ok for my occupation and age (38).
Thanks.

>>17819658
Also, please avoid obvious options like CDG Incenses. God bless you.

>>17819658
Bois Imperial

I am once again asking for unabashedly masculine 10/10 fragrances, one for each season, for spring, summer, fall, as I already have Fahrenheit for winter. Something my grandpa would've worn, none of this metrosexual gourmand garbage. I dress somewhat Ivy League if that helps, hopefully you can imagine the fragrance for each season with khaki chinos and OCBDs in spring, madras and boat shoes in the summer, a Barbour and corduroys in the fall, navy blazer and wool slacks in the winter. Thanks.

>>17819658
You want it for the masses?

What the fuck is a priest doing on 4Chan lol

>>17819690
Azzaro pour Homme

>>17819658
Quorom
Tobacco Oud if you’re gonna ignore the vow of poverty

>>17819690
Guerlain Vetiver

>>17819816
Normal diocesan priests don't usually take a vow of poverty, they take a promise of simplicity, which is different and more vague and more flexible. It means not extravagant, not extravagant living quarters or vehicle or lifestyle. If you're a religious priest, like part of a community and one of their vows is poverty, you do take a vow of poverty.

>>17819658
Bijan for Men

>>17819690
Here you go.

>>17819658
>austere
What does austere mean to you? discomforting? synthetic? dirty? extremely green?
By austere you could just be very by-the-book regimented so just an Acqua di Giò Eau de Parfum.

Bros... I fucking love cypress...

>>17819832
What's your favorite in the d'Issey line?

>>17819832
Issey frags smell nice on paper, but smell like moth balls on my skin. I don't know what it is, I have read a couple review where this has happened for other people too.

It sucks having inferior genetics ;~;

>>17819238
Damn I wish I was this cool, alas.

>>17819522
>>17819453
>>17819447
>>17819222
Well then, the question remains. Any other suggestions?

Remember to support your local businesses.

>>17819941
no, i dont think i will be supporting your third world brown monkey economy

>>17819875
I own Homme, Polaris, Vetiver, and Fusion Extreme. They are all quite good and very easy to wear, but my favorite among the four is Polaris, although it is a 'noir' style leather scent with a lot of supporting notes so it is much more context specific.

>>17819877
That's fine. Sub it out for a different vetiver / lavender fragrance.

>>17819832
Thanks bro, I’ll buy some decants. Can’t wait for some of my buddies to come over and I can show them my favorites of the like 40 decants I have lol.

>>17819576
Remember: if you're not good looking, a fragrance is only going to make you weirder.
Nobody likes ugly people who smell nice, it's creepy.

>>17819576
anyone here has bought from the foreverlux store on ebay?

Why the fuck is Guerlain Vetiver so expensive suddenly? It's 2 or 3x the price it was a couple years ago
Are there any EU sites where I could find it cheaper?

>>17820103
on my country's notino site it costs 71,80 EUR for a 100ml bottle
we also had 15% off from that price last week

>>17820103
guerlain have probably been restricting their distribution ala hermes or chanel. trying to limit discounter reselling.

>>17819690
my gramps wore tabac. wear that in spring, yatagan in fall, cool water in summer. dunhill cologne for men (1934) if it should have more class
>>17819941
>solid cologne
fucking fuck
>>17819928
just get a decent glass atomizer and dont throw it around, they'll be fine. i like unitwist. there's a brand that makes good 12ml plastic vaporizers but i don't think they're available outside the country

quorum vs aramis
is it rebundant to buy both? thinking about buying quorum for fall and aramis in late winter/early spring.... from a review i heard that aramis is better and quorum is derived from that. thougs? also never smelled neighter of them and cant get any decants

>>17819624
>>17820136
here

>>17820136
why buy aramis when you can buy the unfiltered version called cabochard

>>17819658
Ex Voto

Do you guys distinguish between spring and fall frags? I usually just put them in the same "moderate temperature" category.

>>17819658

>>17819832
good fragrances, but I wouldn't call something like l'homme ideal or even fahrenheit parfum "unabashedly masculine"

>>17819658
kloster ettal eau de cologne
abtei sankt severin kreuzfahrerwasser

>>17820136
both are smokey, but they are really different. I'll actually get a bottle of each, have Quorum already. It's very similar to Polo (green bottle), more smokey, less citrus (if I got it right, unlike Polo it doesn't give me an allergic reaction that I usually get from the citrus parts). Still it's rather zesty and green. Aramis on the other hand is very comfy kind of smoke and spices blend.

>>17820175
i'd compare quorum to eucris, they're very similar

Are solid colognes worth it

>>17819941
>read about how artistic and niche all of the 169 frags offered are
>watch a video where the founder drivels about what quintessentially local story/place/view/person inspired the frag
>have no option to try anything beforehand because the only physical store is 400km from you and a sampler costs €80 plus shipping
>the bottles are all the same, the labels are all the same, the atomizers are chink shit
>spend twice as much as you would buying designer juice for a bottle
>get a frag with shit performance that might or might not smell good
Most italian brands base their marketing on the fact that they're italian, so very artistic and conceptual and niche and local, but their fragrances are very often just bad and uninspired.
There are exceptions of course, like Profumum Roma and Filippo Sorcinelli/UNUM, but they're few and far in between, and everyone knows about them already.

>>17820192
What the fuck is a solid cologne?

>>17820237
A cologne that's between ok and good.

>>17819624
>I own +20 full bottles and around 200 samples and decants. Funny enough, I know I could make it fine with just this 11€ bottle
This was written by some based retard from the previous thread.
>>17820136
Aramis is too much for this century and Quorum has some cheap grandpa vibes (even if it's very good at 15 bucks).
I'd instead get Polo Green bc better smell, ingredients, formulation and, to be honest, to be socially acceptable. If you want the normie flanker, Polo Cologne Intense is more modern and soft. Minty opening, patchouly and vetyver drydown. I've been using the last one the whole summer.

A scent for this situation?

>>17820245
Then it's worth it.

>>17820278
20 sprays of Kirke. 20 sprays of Sauvage. Each.

Damn, I jumped the gun when said that encre noire is all that good. It's very sneaky. At first I was like "hey, it's so weak, let me add a couple of sprays". But then it became so cloying, overwhelming and tiresome, I'm not even sure I like it anymore.

Bros, Creed fucked up again:

>>17819690
Beau de Jour
GG Absolute
Rook Perfumes Rook (or Forest)
Chanel Antaeus

These are the most cock forward perfumes I own

>>17820136
Quorum is fucking disgusting, and I’m a big hyper masc fougere/chypre guy

Don’t waste your time- this perfume should stay in the past. It’s an acrid, horrible thing

People who recommend it here are generally doing so to be contrarian and because they have no realistic prospect of intimacy anyways

>>17820290
>said that encre noire is all that good
Same. It's a soulless anoying creation. Just a massive amount of iso e super and lab made vetyver. Even the cap of the bottle is fake wood lol.
At least it was less than 25 dollars, maybe thats why it's so hyped by the tasteless poorfags.

>It's actually a really good mint

>>17820313
Heard it's similar to based Drakkar Noir

Trying out some BDK Parfums due to a poster here.

>Gris Charnel
Lovely, simple, bright and feminine

I like this a lot but it doesn’t move me an inch

>Sel d’Argent
This is Aqua Amara for 5x cost. Fuck this one

>Crème de Cuir
Does this have pineapple in it? Opens like an Aventus clone. The dry down is quite lovely- this reminds me more than a bit of the Aventus clone Louis Vuitton did that I can no longer remember the name of

Pretty nice despite its lack of originality

>Pas ce Soir extrait
Literally just sprayed. Right now I’m getting a whole lot of bubblegum/tutti frutti

Is there anything else I should try from these lads? Gris Charnel and Crème de Cuir are the leaders here but are pretty mid

>>17820153
to me is summer and winter frags just less sprays
>SOTD

>>17820309
>Quorum is fucking disgusting
I agree about the opening, but don't be so hard with a cologne that is priced like water. Also, imagine that Quorum was selled in a cool minimalist package by some niche brand... There would be many anons paying 300 bucks for that bottle to be contrarian.
/frag/ community is full of retards.
>I’m a big hyper masc fougere/chypre guy
Could you share 2 or 3 of your favs? I'm buying samples and I would like to read your recomendations.

>>17820153
Nope. When it is hot as shit I wear Soleil Blanc, for any other type of weather I wear whatever the fuck

Don’t think about this shit too much

I know it’s enjoyable but it will turn you into even more of a faggot than you already are

>>17820324
Ehhh. Being cheap doesn’t automatically make something good, just as with something being expensive. That’s just my opinion though, I’m on 4chan so I’m being a contrarian retard

For me Chypre Palatin is the best masculine Chypre (original, I know). If you’re on a budget Chanel Pour Monsieur is a worthy alternative

For Fougeres my roster is Beau De Jour, Invasion Barbare and Platinum Egoiste. I’ve yet to meet a fougere I couldn’t get along with though, the door is pretty open here

>>17820237
Perfume/colognes in balm/ointment forms

thoughts on this thing?
i already have gucci guilty absolute and i dont know if its redundant to buy it. testest it in the store and i get the same strong leathery openig , but instead of woody it get sweeter in drydown.
also its pretty cheap... might go well in winter/holydays

What do you guys think about picrel?

You guys ever ruled out a frag because you thought the bottle design was trash?

>>17820350
Not a problem when you can just get a decant or sample vial, is it?

>>17820350
Constantly

A large part of why I collect perfumes is to have a box of potions like a 19th century apothecary

If the bottle is stylised the illusion is shattered

>>17820313
Based. One of my favs. They told me it's a bad seller at the Diptyque store in Madrid.
>>17820315
I'd say it's kind of inspired in it, but way more modern and natural smelling (better ingredients).

>>17820347
yeah I find it kinda redudant to GGU. it's more outgoing and sweeter than it, with the chocolat being one of the main ideas in the scent, but the leather is very similar really. both made by morillas.
it's also extremely underrated. it does lean a bit juvenile, but works super well even in hotter weather. I love both but lean towards GGU as it fits me better. people around do love no limits

>>17820335
>I’m on 4chan so I’m being a contrarian retard

>>17820350
All arab notino crap like alharamain, rassasi, etc. I couldn't stand those tacky moorish designs in my collection.

>>17820350
Not because of the bottle but because of the name. What am I supposed to do when somebody asks what I'm wearing, say Bad Boy, Toy Boy, Million Dollar, Le Male? (Not like I'd wear any of those anyway but you get the point)

>>17820365
I agree with this. Names usually ruin the impression for me a lot more than the bottle design

>>17820354
Based

>>17820365
>Bad Boy, Toy Boy, Million Dollar, Le Male
Lel. I'm the same. I could'nt picture myself saying YOU LIKE IT? IT'S L'HOMME IDEAL.

>>17820365
I just say the brand

Does Prada Luna Rossa Carbon smell like door sausage?

>>17820369
I just say "Guerlain Men's Ideal" to my friends lel

>>17820365
>>17820369
I can relate. I own picrel and even when it's the cheapest scent in my small collection, it's the only one that gets me compliments.
I feel like the cringiest man on earth when saying the name of the fragrance, also because french sounds like shit.

>>17820379
>Men's Ideal
It's The Ideal Man, hobo.

>>17820380
yeah that's an actual cringy name. I don't know why people are complaining about names like l'homme ideal or le male. at least they're short and to the point

I wanna release a frag named faggot juice that comes in a dick shaped bottle and sprays out of the tip. Would you guys buy it if the frag was good?

>>17820347
>>17820350
Philip Plein no limits is the actual epitome of this. it almost makes One Million look classy

Fuck man, i'm only seconds away to give in to fuck my first femboi. I always had a codex to only fap to them, but real sex only with women.

Would you rather choose a frag that has a 10/10 scent for you but only lasts 4 hours, or a frag that has a 9/10 scent for you but lasts 10 hours?

That's not the same description the other guy gave me, this is proof that I should research before believing.
But what's the point of research if it was made by a human, just like the guy who lied to me? Lies everywhere!

Don't buy creams, they'll get in your fingers. That's waste compared to a spray that only goes where you want it. And if you say it goes in the air, then spray closer.

>>17820428
10/10 but four hours
I thik short lasting scents have their uses too. I don't always want to commit to smelling strongly for the next two days

>>17820428
Of course the second. If the fragrance doesn't last, it's garbage and it's going to the trash

>>17820509
He said 10 hours, not the next two days. You idiot.

Is Henry Jacque the ultimate prime example of Veblen Goods personified? Went to their boutique earlier, and while the frags were nice, they certainly weren't anything earth shattering even compared to designer frags that cost an eighth of the price.

>>17820613
i have never stepped into any of their boutiques but you can kinda tell from a mile away that their shit is comically overpriced. and no, the ultimate example of veblen goods is probably the patek 5711.

>>17820617
>the patek 5711.
Kek that's almost worth a car loan what the fuck

>>17820530
i'd say based but it's a clone of tabac original so that's kind of stupid.

After picking up some sample last week and giving each a full day wear here are my thoughts

>Nishane Paplefinko
Okay, kind of reminds me of those generic lollipops you get with the plastic wrapper. Too much of it gives me a headache, but too little and its hardly noticeable 6/10

>Nishane Fan Your Flames
Coconut my ass. Maybe a coconut was on a table during the manufacturing but this is all cedar, its a mess and not a pleasant one
1/10

>BDK Creme de Cuir
Nice, warm and comforting, not a juicy opening but very subtle and pleasant. Id imagine those influencers who only wear beige, this is what they want to smell like. Inoffensive but very nice. 8/10

>BDK Gris Charnel
A tad bit spicy, the name for some reason evokes the image of tv static to me. Fuzzy and warming, after a few hours after the dry down the linger smell is very reminiscent of petrichor
8/10

>MDCI Invasion Barbare
Full disclosure I don't have a lot of experience with "barbershop" frags so I can't really say this is the best as many reviewers claim it is. Nice sharp green opening, that feels sparkly in a way. For some reason it smells exactly like my friends childhood home. 7/10

>Xerjoff Naxos
Finally, a hyped frag that lives up to the hype. Everything I want is sweet, comforting not cloying, and subtle. I swear I used to have a bar of soap I got once in Vancouver. 10/10

>>17820721
That's a good tasteful pick you have there. Now I need frag recommendations for the same vibe.

I should soon receive my samples of:

What do I think of them?

>>17820827
Tam Dao is a good realistic sandalwood.

>>17820827
lol what a moron

>>17820839
Still behind Bois Imperial

Tom Ford oud wood was surprisingly decent after shitty ombre weather and meh-ish neroli portofino and grey vetiver. Still not worth the price tho.

>>17820857
Does it really only last 2 hours nowadays?

>>17820867
Yeah, it's very weak on me. Hopefully it's not that encre noire effect where I'm just getting anosmic to the smell while it actually projects well.

Man this shit smells fantastic. It removes the disgusting sweet orange from the original TDH and replaced it with sour citruses, added some juniper berries to it.
Fantastic summer scent.

>>17820082
yeah its legit. I think their prices are cheaper on their site though

>>17820313
i got a free 10ml with some order of their candles i believe (or was it an order of eau papier, or perhaps tam dao?), anyway - i literally spray it on my toilet carpet from time to time, cant imagine it anywhere else

Just looking for what you call "a signature fragrance". I've always used the same shaving products as my father: Tabac. I need something austere that left good smell wherever I go, but at the same time is not very noticeable.
>a priest doing on 4Chan
I have free time and some boards here have interesting takes on Christianity (/pol/, /lit/ and /hist/ mostly). Also, evangelize here is easier than in real life because people talk openly.
>>17819816
>Tobacco Oud
Probably another good option, but the whiskey note is a no for me. No vow of poverty and the last bottle I had lasted for more than two years, so it's not going to be that expensive. God bless you.
>>17819831
I'm afraid this is not the austere fragrance I'm looking for. Too many notes and people say it's a loud cologne. Gby.
>>17819840
>What does austere mean
A priest friend of mine once said "a good Catholic is like a good parfum, it leaves a good smell behind him but nobody notices who is wearing it". I know it doesn't exactly answer, but I I hope it helps in some way. Thanks and Gby.
>>17820154
¡What a beautiful concept, my brother! Thanks a lot. They seem difficult to try before buy. Have you personally smelled them? The first two could be a very good candidates. God bless you.
>>17820157
I don't want people to identify the smell, and Hermès is an overused brand where I live. Thanks. Gby.
>>17820165
Bonus Odor could be a candidate too. Did you personally smelled it? Is it good quality? It's pretty cheap. God bless you.

Pretty realistic, but if I just wanted sandalwood I would wear sandalwood oil
>>17820846
He’s not far off, but it’s more complex than just a sandalwood frag. I get a coconut accord sometimes. Otherwise it’s a nice woodsy fragrance. Reminds me of Caribbean furniture. It can be dressed up or down.

>>17821064
Hey send me prayers priest anon. I am blessed with all things vain and cursed with losing love ones and repeating miscarriages. Anyway, if you like tabac shaving products consider the edt. It’s nice. Other one to consider is Caron pour un homme and eau de beaux

That said , Im undergoing a faith crisis lately. I've been reading a lot about Judaism and Im having doubts about Jesus being the Messiah for about a year now. I miss jesus but I don't want to pray to someone I might not be praying to

t. Buddhist

Trying out a sample of Secretions Magnifiques. It made me blush, doesn't smell "good" but not repulsive like people say. Gives me butterflies and makes my heart rush a little

>>17820347
I unironically think this is a great scent. Mostly because the scent itself is handled by Alberto Morillas who knows how to compose a great and powerful frag.

>>17821064
>A priest friend of mine once said "a good Catholic is like a good parfum, it leaves a good smell behind him but nobody notices who is wearing it". I know it doesn't exactly answer, but I I hope it helps in some way. Thanks and Gby

Okay - consider this: It sounds like you are looking for a scent that somewhat matches the scents of church work, but may have a differentiating primary note. It should also lean more intimate rather than having a large push in terms of sillage. Consider "Dark" by Akro fragrances. It is a dark chocolate / smokey fragrance that smells like incense smoke and high quality chocolate. It is from Akro which is a fragrance brand by Olivier Cresp focusing on physical indulgences. If "Dark" sounds too gourmand for you, also consider "Smoke" and "Ink" from them as well.

I believe luckyscent has samples for all for them for like $4 each.

>Judaism and Im having doubts about Jesus being the Messiah for abowhyut a year now. I miss jesus but I don't want to pray to someone I might not be praying to
Why? Just because some pagan race-cohort faggots told you that Jesus oppressing they race? Let them be Satanist and worshipping Saturn/Cronus/Odin and Gods creation(race) more than the creator itself.
For you take Jesus as your Messiah, only through Jesus there's a way to God and every lasting life after death.

my main summer (30°C+) frags were Tauer LADAS, EP Fig Infusion and ELDO You Or Someone Like You (with Heeley Menthe Fraiche as a good woody alternative)

>only through Jesus there's a way to God and every lasting life after death
Just imagine going through the trials and tribulations of life full of suffering and instead of embracing the pleasure of its end find yourself suffering again in the afterlife because you were worshipping the right god. Lmao, truly a god given reward.

my suggestions based on this input:

>Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca

Haha yeah I don't easily remember fragrance names and I am currently not at home so I couldn't look it up.

>>17821538
>find yourself suffering again in the afterlife
What makes you think that? You should read the bible before commenting on certain religion.

>>17821544
Common sense, bro. Did Jesus give any guarantees? Chances are, you're getting scammed.

Any suggestions for a summer night out at a house/techno club?

>>17821549
When you the creator of something shouldn't you set the rules?
Also we recently live ina galactic war, the planet Saturn ruling over earth(the north pole of Saturn is a Hex which stands for sin. Muslims and Jews worship the hex, six sided star).
You as a human are made for patroling the earth. Do you do a great job to keep the earth or do you spiol it?
Saturn/Satan questioned Gods right to rule, so he asked Eve out to join him.
We now live in a state of free choice, live without God be your own God, but don't blame God gor your failure or, follow God with his rules and your life turn good in this clown world.

Imagine wearing a frag that doesn't have lavender in it. Literally cucked, soulless and dishonorable.

What frag are they wearing?

>>17821556
This. A man of culture.

>>17821556
Lavender is good and I do like it, however I have had trouble finding a lavender fragrance that I really like.
The only lavender fragrance I have is Sauvage EDT, and I only really wear that when I am being lazy and smell bad but need to go out in public or when I dont really know what to wear.
Sauvage just isnt "Me".
Im having trouble finding a lavender fragrance that is "Me"
I like Parfums De Marly Greenley
YSL L'Homme EDT
Allure Homme Sport EDT by Chanel
Any recs for a Lavender fragrance I might like?

>>17821555
Ah, that's you, mr. coomer. Should've used a tripcode or something so we know who's posting this shit.

>>17821578
Who's der Coomer?
Also stop avoiding the most importing topic in life. Find Jesus, bro.
Also buy some incense fragrances, for me it's Casbah or Zagorsk. Everytime i spray it, it's like going to church.

>>17821581
There's another gentleman itt who posts fags and babbles something about a galactic war.
I'm too used to thinking of things in terms of matter and physics to find god. There's no magic in this world, no creators and no afterlife. As soon as your brain stops functioning, you first start posting about fembois imperial and drakkar noir, and then you vanish from existence completely.

Time to recommend my signature frag. Esencia EdP. Imagine Aventus but more mature and refined. Less sweet, fruity and smoky, more woody, spicy, earthy and green. Nice lavender gives it a lovely classy touch. Opening is very similar to Aventus, but after that it distances itself more and more, becoming woody aromatic. Some say it's the best Aventus clone, others say it's the better Aventus. All I can say is that there are definitely some similarities but that I like Esencia much more than Aventus.

CARON POUR UN HOMME

>>17821575
Sauvage Edt is barely lavender driven.
Try Masculine Plurier or Duc de Vervins.

Tried montale black oud and now I'm wondering what the fuck it is doing in the OP chart. Literally garbage that smells like some washing powder, too synthetic.
Also tried dior homo 2020, and that's a safe, boring and basic masculine scent, not much to add here.

What are some niche cheapies that are often overlooked? On the fresh side please, something like Nikos Sculpture Homme.

>>17821626
they made an intense version as well, most probably for shits and giggles as the original is also strong enough

>>17821635
stuff in the Essential Parfums line up that is not Bois Imperial - my favorite of the batch is Fig Infusion

>>17820912
Hell yeah, bruh. Was my summer office frag.

>>17821636
>they made an intense version as well
Don't even want to try. Fuck montale. His chocolate greedy was an insanely projecting failure, and this black oud is no different. Well, at least it doesn't give me headache like chocolate did. The only thing montale does well is the frag performance.

>>17821641
any house that pushes out products at the rate of montale should be disregarded by default

>>17821644
We should ban it from being in the OP then. Fuck, I've just pulled a pack of washing powder out of a drawer, and it smelled almost the same, made me laugh.

>>17821653

Frags that have medicinal/herbal/antiseptic/hospital smell? Something extremely clean, like a clean, wet shave that has some green notes. The only thing that comes up for me is Coty Aspen

Ordered 2 MAN today. I swallowed the Mark Buxton pill

>>17821637
It also seem to last for ages. Still last on my tester strip from last night.

>>17821702
Tried that yesterday , was one of my favorites of all my samples. Considering a bottle too, not sure when/where to wear it though

Why does it mog every other fragrance under the sun ?

>>17821714
It's pretty decent, lasts to end of day, but I swear it had more grapefruit when I first tried vs. when I copped it. Still nice.

expensive to start out, but i imagine it would be pretty cheap if you had some already known recipes and you weren't just trying random stuff out yourself

>>17821901
>expensive to start out
basic ingredients are like 10 $ per 10g

>>17821902
i mean if you want a huge library of ingredients to mess with for exploring and making scents on your own

anyone else think the new gaultier2 smells like laundry detergent? Also, was the older version a bit more masculine? I'm honestly surprised how girly the new one smells.

>>17821921
girly laundry detergent sounds like the kind of thing gay guys would be into alright

>>17821896
>>17821901
Don't the individual ingredients react with each other? So if you want to smell like vanilla and citrus you can't just mix both, wou'd have to mix 2 or more completely different materials that somehow only smell like that when mixed with each other and in the right proportions? I'd imagine this would be way above the abilities of an amateur.

>>17821928
i don't think its always like this, but for some smells it is.

for some smells there is no one molecule that produces it, but a sensation that is produced when two different chemicals are smelled together. chocolate is one example of this.

for an amateur this definitely would take a while to become used to which ingredients produce which scents for sure, but there are databases that give you products to use to produce a specific note.

>>17821906

I don't get encre noir's reputation as a dark gothic fragrance. It's a fresh aromatic woody cypress/vetiver/iso-e fragrance to me.

>>17821959
Neither do I. But it smells totally different from anything else that guys wear. Not that it's pleasant, it's just a bit edgy.

What do I think of it?

>>17821740
Anywhere, preferably during fall. It might be abstract but I think normies would like it

Aren't cypress-vetiver combos fairly common for classic fougeres in the first place?

Thoughts on Invasion Barbare?

>>17822024
I'm not that experienced with fougeres, and judging only by familiarity of the scent. I haven't encountered encre noire in the wild.

Hello /fa/, femanon here. Any perfumes that will attract black men?

>>17822030
Yes. Fembois imperial, the timeless classic.

Where can I get a bunch of decent samples from? I get bored with every regular sized bottle I have way too quickly and end up giving them all away.

>>17822125
Parfumo souk.

>>17822082
I'll check it out because I love patchouli but there's only so much you can do with a patchouli fragrance because the note is so dominant. So many patchouli fragrances smell almost identical.

>>17822082
BI ended up becoming boring and one-dimensional to me so I got rid of it.
The other frags from the Essential Parfums line were also fairly underwhelming. The vanilla one is alright but leans too feminine for me, the vetiver one is okay but way too linear and airy, the rest is forgettable.

What can I expect this one to smell like? I'm not familiar with patchouli frags.

>>17822082

Impossible. Bois Imperial is photorealistic saw dust on 16k olfactory resolution. Maybe your nose can't grasp the high resolution.

>>17822082
The name is retarded but I hope it's good. I love patchouli but I already have three top tier patchouli frags that I love that this won't be able to be as good at those, but I'll sample it

>>17820396
Was Jeremy wrong? Is THIS the true dildo of fragrance?

I know I'm gonna get a lot of shit and getting called a shill from you contrarian faggots but PdM makes good fucking frags. For years I never even bothered with sampling their stuff because people here kept shitting on them and so I just accepted that their frags are garbage and not worth it. Every other place on the internet, be it fragrantica or parfumo or reddit or youtube praised their frags up and down but I just ignored it, "knowing" that they are bad. And yeah I know actual shills exist, but not to that extent. So a few weeks ago I was ordering another batch of samples of frags I was interested in, but couldn't reach the minimum amount for free shipping. So I just said fuck it and added a handful of PdM samples. Those I ordered were fucking good! Well blended, great scents that actually smell high quality, and very long lasting on top! A really nice fusion between mainstream designer and niche. You goddamn cunts. Never should have listened to you. I should have known that most of you just love to hate on the popular thing in order to be different.

>>17822228
>PdM makes good fucking frags
No they don't. Most are clones.

>>17822228
LMFAO what an idiot

major fucking moron alert

Name 5 you think you liked and I'll tell you why they're shit.

>>17822228
The other four replies are massive cope. They are good frags, are typically very high quality, are better than the frags they are "copying" , or are making available scent profiles that would otherwise be very difficult to actually get hands on.

For example I tried Fierce and it turns out Percival is way better simply because it uses better aroma chemicals so it doesn't have that weird mall synthetic smell. The other one that these tards jerk each other off about is the Amber Narguille which is great, but lasts like 4 hours tops and is very light because it's an edt. Instead you can get Oajan which is fairly close, and will last you into the next day with just a couple of spray. Plus, actually buying Narguille is a pain because is often unavailable, while Oajan is always on sale even at discounters.

I think they've just learned to hate PdM because a couple of the autists on here constantly bitch about it.

Nanas just means pineapple
So it's a coconut and pineapple fragrance
Smells exactly like it sounds, coconut milk and pineapple, but very well blended, especially coming from someone who dislikes coconut accords in frags. Reminds me of a local steamed pineapple kuih or cake that's made with coconut milk, but I can't remember the name

This can be said about 85% of all frags mentioned on these threads, but somehow it's only mentioned about PdM. The people here can't stop cumming in their shorts about Dior Homme Intense/Parfum despite it being a 'good' designer that's massively overhyped and now massively overpriced.

>>17823470
Indeed, Bois Imperial is the golden standard for innovative fragrances

>>17823470
Dior Homme Intense is half the price of PdM's fragrances. It's also an original DNA and not heavily inspired by anything from other brands. The original Dior Homme was a trendsetting fragrance that others tried to copy.
Don't be surprised that it's more respected than PdM's "expensive desogner clones pretending to be niche" business model.

I just might have the thing for you. Maria Candida Gentile - Sideris. Not widely known, artisanal but not too too expensive. It smells like rose, incense and honey but its one of those fragrances that really smells line more than summ of it's parts. It's mysterious and unique but comforting at the same time, and I think if fits if you don't want to go with the obvious stuff like plain incense. Definitely austere. God bless
