The Fragrance Groups 101 Chart

The Fragrance Flowchart for Beginners

It has finally arrived. I'm looking forward to smelling it

Do you guys generally prefer Asian style or European style perfumery?

Recommend a fragrance for a humble unassuming misfit?

NOT broody, angry, dark

>>17822853
>Asian style
So arab?

>>17822752
Does it worth buying? What about longevity and sillage

Sotd Montana Green

>>17822853
European? there are multiple styles, i prefer French

>>17822857
Lalique Pour Homme Lion EDP

>>17822835
I like this fragrance but I feel it's very situational.
To my nose, it's a heavy and wet vetiver that almost reminds me of chocolate. It dried down to some soft musky thing quickly though.
I thought it would be darker just like what the name implied, as in black ink, but whatever it's a cheapie.
Will have to try on a colder day

Got my order today, will give my impressions later if someone is interested

If you removed brands themselves from the equation, which one would you prefer? Tam Dao or Santal 33?

is this true?

>>17822976
they're equally bad fragrances.
regarding brands, le labo has one great fragrance and a decent one. dyptique is trash. slop with a "nice" packaging. avoid at all costs

>>17822976
Santal noble > tam dao > pickles 33

R8 the samples I chose, pic related. Will be coming in the mail soon.

>>17823037
creed is fucking trash, currymede is also shit

>>17823121
what makes creed trash exactly?

>>17823122
i don’t know, why don’t you ask all the brands that rejected pierre bourdon’s leftovers in the first place. you know, the leftovers that olivier creed bought and marked up tenfold with phony marketing.

>>17823121
>currymede
That's the extrait , the original Ganymede is a fucking masterpiece

>>17823141
yeah, a masterpiece of givaudan trademarked aromachemicals slopped together to make fragbro garbage.

How does Extreme compare to the original? Does it smell different or the same but with a twist?

>>17822754
>>17822756
Montale still in the OP. Garbage as always.

>>17822859
Arabs tend to veer to heavy and sweet. East Asians tend to prefer delicate and fresh perfumes
South Asians on the other hand all wear door sausage

>>17823121
>>17823126

If Creed is trash why are they included in the/fa/ approved The Fragrance Groups 101 Chart...

>>17823179
>why is trash included in the trash chart?
hmmm

>>17823182
Why doesn't it get updated? Create a new one

>>17823185
NTA, but I updated it in the last thread, and OP just ignored it.

>>17822853
Just like everything, European

>>17823179
>why is garbage included in the garbage as always

can't decide between these two, opinions?
first one is well blended, love the initial part but I'm not sure about the drydown, smells a little stuffy. my grandpa had it, which makes it relatable to me, but feel dated at the same time.

>>17823227
second one: more lively, fresh, and spicy, but feels less well blended and a little synthetic. also seems to perform a lot better, at least there is not a huge difference between the first spray and a few hours later

>>17823227
>>17823230
>classic aromatic fougere vs car brand fragrance for aspirational twats
how is this even a comparison???

>>17823234
I care about the smell only

>>17823252
the kind of retards that a specific fragrance is marketed to can tell you a lot about the smell without ever having laid your nose upon it.

>>17823230
I have both and the Jaguar is the one I prefer. I find it smoother and a slightly more modernized take on the genre. Don't listen to the other retard who judges smells based on the brand instead of, you know, the fucking smell.

>>17823230
Also, the Paco is available in a super cheap mini bottle if you want it around for occasional wear. You could probably get both for like $30

>>17823295
lol what a fucking queer

>>17823126
the ones that people love and buy for crazy prices?

>>17823312
what can i say, marketing is a magical thing.

>>17823037
I’ve also purchased samples of Ganymede and the two creeds. I liked Ganymede, disliked silver mountain water, and neutral to Milliseme. But interested in hearing your takes on them.

>>17823171
bump

>>17823321
yeah, they buy it cause of the bottles or whatever, not cause those scents smell good. i guess everything is trash and people only buy stuff cause of marketing

>>17823356
they buy it because creed bills themselves as an aspirational brand that made scents for royalty (a complete lie; they were a tailor until the 70s or 80s) and the ultra wealthy. it’s the same marketing strategy as patek philippe or hermes, minus any of the actual craftsmanship or technical skill. and it works, based on morons like you.

>>17822976
I actually just tried tam dao and it seemed chalkier/dustier than Santa 33 from what I remember, but they're both shitty, boring fragrances in my opinion.

Everyone on parfumo needs a fucking lobotomy. It disgusts me that they are so narcissistic that they think people want to read this dogshit when looking for fragrance reviews.

Currently have all of the Le Male flankers, Le Beau EdT and EdP, Toy Boy, The Dreamer and Blue Jeans, Jeanne en Provence Acqua. So far I haven't found any Notes or Groups that I particularly like so I'm trying to broaden my knowledge.

>>17823381
pretty retarded

>>17823381
dont forget CDG 2 man. wearing it right now and it's a dream, love it a lot. They also have Ombre leather in an Ulta and DHI EDP in malls so you can save a few bucks before you order. Seriously cannot recommend CDG 2 and 2 man enough I'm wearing a sample of both right now love them

>>17823385
>CDG 2 man

Was actually thinking about it, but the incence note threw me a bit off.

>>17823381
Mostly good picks. If your goal is to know what bad frags smell like.

>>17823389
I don't really get much incense, not nearly as much as people talk about it. Maybe that's just me, or maybe that's the Catholic in me that doesn't mind it.

>>17823367
The "slice of life" reviews are peak cringe.

>>17823390
My goal is to know what frags smell like generally. My prior knowledge was that I absolutely despise how pacco rabane phantom smells like, thats pretty much it.

>>17823381
Switch that Dior faggotry for Noir Extreme EDP by Tom Ford.

>>17823394
>Diptyque - Tam Dao - Eau de Toilette
If there are EDT and EDP versions of a fragrance, unless the EDT is unanimously considered to be the better version, always go with the EDP. If you like something chances are you're gonna wonder what the EDP is like before pulling the trigger and paying for sample/shipping again but not so much the other way around.

>>17823397
Wouldn't that be more dependent on the brand? I thought there can be major differences in notes between EdT and EdP versions of the same frag.

I tagged along my dad to his doctor's appointment. He wore some random Walmart lavender EDC while I put on my TF Oud Wood.
I got mogged.

>>17823404
Dyptique is one of the few brands that doesn't mess up with that. Eau rose EDT and EDP are the same but the second is just more concentrated.

Dior for example is an example of a brand changing the scent profile completely with a change of concentration

>>17823381
good enough. don't listen to the smug retards
I'll say though that the comme des garcons fragrances are more for someone who's already acquainted with perfumes and wants something more unique
if you're just starting out, you should probably just go to a perfume store and sniff whatever sounds nice

As a pine lover i probably try Fresh Ass from Lush.
Pine scents always remind me of smelling a siberian forest where usually pale white albino girls are willing to marry you.
>>17823171
Huge fan of the Extreme. It's more smoky/woody than the original Encre Noire, but still have that overly sour vetiver accord. Longevity is worse than the original.
There're better alternatives out there.

>>17823425
>these incel fantasies
I wouldn't say most of russian girls are any different from the stereotypical western ones.

>>17823171
they're similar, but not the same. the Extreme is more smoky, with added incense, resins and amber
I prefer the Extreme personally. it feels more complete

>>17823436
Please don't destroy my dream

>>17823440
Better start dreaming of some loyal and humble muslim/filipino girl. Not as pretty on average, but you get some you lose some.

>>17823449
True on that. As already divorced ones, western white girls are a huge red flag for me. They attractive to me, straight male, like a hairy dude.
But pale girls are my fetish.

>>17823449

thoughts?
scent / longevity / wearability / price?
looking to blind buy this for fall (cant find any decants)

I love LADDM but it's not wearable in the heat
I want something fresher, slightly sweeter
Any ideas

What do they smell like?

>>17823468
opens with a blast of classic men's notes, dries to an unusual shaving cream scent. Don't blind buy, test at the mall. Apply only this and nothing else. The drydown lasted me for 5 hours or so, and it's really nothing like the opening. Really, any mall should have it.

>>17823392
Its like that on Goodreads too. People that want to be writers but have nowhere else where people will actually read their drivel. Not sure why parfumo is so much worse than the other sites though. Basenotes is great even though the website sucks.

>>17823468
the greatest aromatic fougere ever made. probably smarter than you are, so wear with caution.

Reminder to use these updated charts or else

daddy knows best

>>17823381
you're leaning real hard in one particular direction. nothing wrong with it, but just so you know. He's your tally.

Why do the anons here all talk about strange perfumes nobody knows instead of the well-known fragrances that are often recommended?

>>17823468
It's pretty fucking cheap you don't really need a decant.
The longevity isn't very long, maybe 3 hours, you can wear it pretty much everywhere.
This is from a mini from the 80s though, so it smells different and I've heard it lasts longer now.

>>17823555
People are looking for something new and novel.

>>17823555
Because there's no fun in using hype frags that smell identical to each other anyway. Also because we're not like the other boys, we're different and unique! Even if that means unique in an autistic way.

U don't wear it to the grocery store? You're missing out on the little things in life

>>17823579
Flash them ur cock

We need an edgy and brutal frag line. Something that smells like drugs, slavery, raped children, hobos and pigs. Something inspired by secretions magnifique in a way. Just imagine how well that would sell to nichetards.

>>17823585
Stop stop you're giving me ideas
We could do a serial killer line
John Wayne gacy could be a earthy woody scent, dank dark mossy for where he buried his boys under the house
Gary Ridgway could be a piney aquatic
David Berkowitz could be an urban scent with notes of car fumes gunpowder and cigarettes
I could go on but this has legs

>>17823630
diptyque is masstige. although i dont mind em

Is molecule patchouli worth trying? Was looking for a more year round patchouli, but not sure just how minimal the note is in that fragrance. I think ill just get some patchouli essential oil, but im not sure if I have to dilute it in a carrier oil or not or even what carrier oil to use

>>17822996
Yes, roja dove is a meme
Russian adam is worse IMO but that's another story

>>17823171
Its terrible, they cryprus makes me claustrophobic, it lasts for 12 hours + and i wish it lasted for 2.

What fragrance color does Aventus and MB Explorer fall into?

It keeps getting categorized as a fresh blue. But that doesn't seem right.

>>17823585
Just buy some arab "black deer musk attar" off of some sketchy ebay seller, its exactly what you want. Make sure it's not one of the premium ones

>>17823670
I'd say fruity or fougere definitely not blue

>>17823670
fruity ambroxan bomb

>>17823670
Aventus is grey with yellow sparkles. Garbage anyway.

Opinions on "Kerosene" brand? I want a coffee frag and Follow seems cool, but I'm sure you guys have a better rec for coffee frags.

Sotd Encre noir sport. It’s ok. Kind of boring. Good cheapie but I still prefer Guerlain vetiver and Guerlain leau boisse more.

>>17822857

what do people mean here when they say a frag smells arab

>>17823693
Grey because of the bottle and yellow because of the pineapple. Your associations are fucking shit and something that would come either from a mentally handicapped kid or a woman .

>>17823552
Mind posting the original? It’s nice to have comparisons for these.

I got a free sample of La Rhapsodie Noire from Parfums Dusita. This is such a great scent, it smells like Fierce with chocolate and tobacco.

>>17823215
Keep reposting it every thread until OP acknowledges it

>>17823379
How does it sound in german?

>>17823821
Usually too pungent and loud; too much oud, spice or musk without care for balance

Noselet here, went to a local shop to pick up my first (full) bottle of TdH EdT, as well as a sample of the Eau Givrée.

While I was there I checked out some Frederic Malle frags. They still had bottles labeled Bois d’Orage, didn’t care for the scent at all though. Tried Monsieur as well and was surprised how faint it was. Maybe I just didn’t get a good spray on the tester strip, but I didn’t even bother requesting a sample.

The two real reasons I’m blog-posting though is because Musc Ravageur and Synthetic Jungle. I wasn’t expecting MR to be so powdery… I was expecting something much more animalic, is that frag specific, or common with musks? As for the SJ, holy shit this stuff projects. I only put it on a test card and it filled my car and hours later I can still smell it feet away. My question though, is that actually a good example of a “green” frag? To me it comes off as much, MUCH more floral than ‘green’, but I’m not even sure if I know what “green” smells like at this point.

Also based on the name alone grabbed a sample of Carnal Flower, and am now slightly regretting not looking up to see that it’s a heavily feminine frag.

>>17823585
Beaufort London's Vi Et Armis isn't far off to be honest.

>>17823929
I have it and weirdly normies like it because of the rum note , then it dries down into a softer interlude

>>17823936
>>17823929
Mixed it with Coeur De Noir, normies hated it when I wore it and they told me it smells like a barbecue

>>17822752
this thread sucks, I can't even smell anything

>>17823844

hello bros, so I got an EDT (montblanc legend)
and I'm a complete newfag to using this stuff. I didn't go anywhere today so i tried it out by doing one spray on each side of my neck and one spray on each inner wrist (4 total) and i think that was way too much. i could smell it so strongly on myself to the point of my nose stinging a bit. around 2 hours later i could still smell it easily but it wasn't bothering me anymore. Im thinking 1 or 2 sprays before going out is probably going to work much better but then i don't know how to distribute it properly, especially if it's only 1. straight in the middle of the neck? on one wrist and pat my other wrist and sides of neck? one on each side of the neck and no wrists? what do?

>>17822752
Tom Ford winter office scent? I am a techbro

>>17823993
you are a retarded loser lol

>>17823936
I was genuinely shocked that these have such a high rating. I found Vi Et Armis was genuinely nauseating from the opium and oudh.
>>17823939
Their other fragrance I thought would be super jarring. 1805 Tonnerre, definitely just came off as a light barbecue sauce.

>>17824008
I like Beaufort a lot, but definitely most of them are more conceptual than wearable, but I still find them pleasant . Coeur de Noir is pretty nice , so is lignum, fathom , iron duke and specially Acrasia . Tonerre is beautiful in its own way but totally unwearable, same for terror & magnificence

>>17823993
Cherry smoke

>>17824016
Rake & Ruin is awesome if you can stand the opening

>>17824002
And you're a faggot. The common recs for Tom Ford office smells are Beau de Jour and Grey Vetiver but they both seem like they're for warmer weather. I wore Knize Ten all winter last year and it was good, want an upgrade though. Wearing TF's Bois Morocain on my couch right now and it is nice but I wouldn't take it to work.

>>17824019
I will try it at macys tomorrow. Seems like it might be a little slutty to wear at work though

>>17823654
I have it and I love it , it is noticiable and beautiful. Don't think it's something like the regular 01 that some can smell it and others don't.

It's a safe autumn scent when you wanna smell good and earthy and green but subtly and discrete.

Also try tempo by Dyptique, also really beautiful

>>17824024
lmfao what a tard

>>17824038
What a fag lol

>>17824043

>think fragrances are cool
>buy a bunch
>even though I am an antisocial neet
>barely any social occasions to wear them
>just spray on my arm and enjoy the smells at home

LOL!

Keep defending your precious general thread, little faggot. I'm going to keep asking on-topic questions without adapting to gay local culture and there's nothing you can do about it.

Welcome to the hobby, were we wear stuff to enjoy it ourselves.

It's not a strange day where I have three or more fragrances on me when I stay home and I enjoy them through the day

it's a lot like an excellent quality Drakkar Noir, worth the price if you are on the market for a scent like that

>>17823908
>To me it comes off as much, MUCH more floral than ‘green’, but I’m not even sure if I know what “green” smells like at this point.
"green" isn't really a precise category

>>17823978
one spray on each side of the neck should work fine. don't rub it in, that can worsen longevity

>>17823978
Don't bother with the wrist. 2-5 on the neck, maybe one on each shoulder depending on the occasion and you're gtg. If you just want to smell it for yourself do one on the front of your neck.

>>17824199
Is there a more plebby and designer version of this?

That catalog looks like it can only be acquired if you live in paris lol

Im still mad that I can't find any physical retail for this anywhere in my shithole country outside of Aeon, who is selling it for a 5x markup from the original price for some goddamn reason

>>17823670
The real answer is that they're linear musk Chypres.

>>17823836
Rofl. Haven't you thought that the color of the bottle might be representable of the content? Grey because it's breezy and dry, you moron.

It's every fucking review on this shitty ass website. There's something wrong with Germans

>>17824239
Jesus fuck
What do they put in the water in Deutschland

>>17824239
Not german specific. But it's obviously a women commenting. When you're not a full blown incel you should know that women are albern/silly, bad sense for jokes.
But german women are similar or worse than american women when it's comes to feminism.

My sister gave this to me a while and a half ago.
I like it quite a bit.

>>17824298

>>17824299
Yeah no shit. You’re also obsessed with faggots to the point every other fragrance reminds you of freshly fucked shit stained anuses.

>>17823908
>>17824199

Appreciate the input, SJ definitely screams floral. I’ll have to try and find some of the other types of greens. Something forest-y is what I imagine when I think green.

Btw, is this an updated/older “green” chart? I feel like I’ve seen a very similar but slightly different chart for greens get dropped occasionally in the general.

Also also, does a blue chart exist?

Aesthetic is pretty classic, jeans, plaid shirt or T-shirt.
Hopefully it's not too much useless info but I'd like it to last like 6-8 hours at least while I'm out, and budget under $120 (willing to invest if it's worth).
I want the women I walk past/sit with in class to notice me in a pleasant way without being too obnoxious.
I'll put my faith in you, thanks in advance bros

Following the flowchart posted above I might try Eau Des Baux...

Prada L'homme is all you need. I am thinking of selling most of my fragrances, I am tired of spending money on useless shit. Give me more of these masculine, easy to wear fragrances.

>>17824495
>Give me more of these masculine, easy to wear fragrances.
Paco Rabanne Pour Homme or a more niche version Grauton Pour Homme.
Prada L'homme would be to nice, metrosexual for my taste.

i tried going with one on each side of the neck today, and spray from further away (yesterday it ended up dripping a bit). And i think this is good. I can smell it slightly on mylself and it's nice so I don't think it would bother anyone else.

now show the shelf with the good frags

Germanbros, now's your time to get New York Intense for 113,28€.
If you can't get the price on notino.de directly, go to idealo.de, search for New York Intense and then enter through the link on the result page for NYI (because notino fucks around a lot sometimes). Disable tracking url blockers for that, because notino uses the idealo url tracker to see that somebody came for the discounted offer.
I've only seen it being sold for less once, 107€, also on notino and only for like 2-3 days before it was sold out.

>>17824694
My bf really likes that one

>>17824186
>>not wearable in the heat
It's not. Way too dry and heavy

>>17824661
Huh, I'm a logistics auditor, I check the people checking trucks in and out of transport bases among other things. Small world. You work with seals & TAPA?

Guys for 3 days straight I went to fucking fragnance stores, i sprayed everything out on a test paper, and I can't decide what to buy for winter. I tried Spicebombs and I could only smell "cold", like nothingness.... its really weird. I think I liked Yves Saint Laurent
La Nuit de L'Homme which was outstanding smell, and Ultramale.

>>17824414
I've only tried coze. its okay but one dimensional. Dusty woody chocolate with pepper. I want to try Intrigant Patchouli because I saw it when looking for a fragrance that smells like a head shop

Do I put patchouli oil directly on my skin or should I get a carrier oil? Which is best?

>>17824718
try them on your skin instead. the paper didn't help me at all, except maybe ruling out what smells too synthetic to me. Try two fragrances at most, one on each arm, and check how it evolves over time.

>>17824495
i forget what it is called, but prada does that purple frag that has a big amber note in the drydown and it's supposed to be SUPER inoffensive and relaxed easy to wear.

>>17824694
Nice mossy, ruined by too heavy vanilla. I prefer more leathery/animalic or fresh mossy scents.

>>17824718
>I think I liked Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L'Homme which was outstanding smell, and Ultramale.

>Truly vile. Spectacularly repulsive. I bought a 30 ml based on the reviews across several forums, expecting a modern interpretation of Bois du Portugal, with a bit of Guerlain thrown in for good measure. What I got, instead, was an immediate blast of ancient woman/funeral parlor with something obnoxious and acrid (pepper, maybe?) poorly blended in. I can smell each horrible note separately. I don’t know how this is rated so high. It is, bar none, the worst thing I have ever put on my skin. And, to make matters worse, it lasts FOREVER. It took two showers, scrubbing with a washcloth, to rid myself of the funk.

i have that F-black by ferragamo and love it.

i didn't like it at first because i got that baby wipe smell, but it is an illusion. once you pick out the black pepper note, all the powder turns to creaminess and there's a sweet-clean vibe that is SMOOTH and doesn't just hit you with the usual boring "soapyiness" that so many of these frags have.

at first i thought it was too linear and now i appreciate that smoothness that just lasts and lasts...

>>17824829
i posted this because i thought it was funny and was curious about the scent breakdown. i don't to whom you are referring

how can you people come here and ask fragrance opinions from other 17-year-olds who wear doc martens?

my bare minimum for listening to someone's opinion on fragrance is that they can recite at least three good poems from memory.

>>17824785
w2c deals like that on NYI in the states?
sounds awesome

>>17824715
I don’t. From my training thus far it is definitely a comfy job, I can definitely see why other Anons would be in this field. Prepare for an uptick of my nightly posting in about a week when I start.

Is that so? Explains some childish simping for vanilla notes here.

>>17824718
>>17824749
oof

well blended aromatic winter frags, what can you recommend? I prefer them not sweet, not overly citric/sour. bergamotte is fine, though

>>17824846
Moooods

is spicebomb really that good?what else is better for winter for 20s male

I prefer my fragrances sickly-sweet—with my fading looks and morose demeanor, a sweetness in the air reminds others of my approaching death. People become more tender and thoughtful toward me.

>>17824785
Based deal enjoyer. I almost wanted to buy a back-up bottle when it hit that price but it was too early for me to know whether or not I'd go through a full bottle. Would buy one now immediately (and probably should for 113 bucks), but I promised myself I'd clear up some room first.

>>17824775
>Ganymede is the only good frag
I do not like it and never wear it. Got a 10ml miniature bottle, 99% full.

>>17824839
>have that F-black by ferragamo and love it
It's dated garbage. I only use it to stray new TP rolls. Try Lattafa Royal delight. It's similar lavender apple but modern, without soapiness.

>>17824870
I love the original spicebomb. It is such a nice spicy smell. Tows the line between fresh spicy and warm spicy. The extreme version is a lot more boring because it has a lot of sweet vanilla which just isn’t my style — but a lot of people do prefer that.

But yes the original spicebomb is an incredible smell imo. It is peppery, cinnamony, paprikay, maybe even a bit of a musky cumin and a bitter dried grapefruit rind. I like to wear it fresh out of the shower with a white tee shirt on a colder day. I’m not the most experienced fragrance expert on the board but as a 23 year old I am very, very happy I bought it.

>>17824930
just because something is from the late 2000's doesn't mean it is bad

it is a really well blended frag by olivier polge, lasts a long time, and only costs 30 dollars for a full size bottle. what more could you ask for? i swear you autists actually see a good value and convince yourself its too good to be true, god knows why

What's a reason to not own Guerlain's Habit Rogue, Heritage and Vetiver?

>>17824967
>Habit Rogue, Heritage and Vetiver
No reason, fantastic scents.

If you own Zino, you already have the arguably better and original Heritage

Is this something only a man like sonny crockett could pull of?

>>17824791

Here is a trick for anyone who doesn't know how to judge seasonality of a scent.

If you keep a library of music on your phone and play it on shuffle in your car, you will notice you tire of songs after a month or two. this happens with the changing of the seasons—don't remove them right away, unless the song really has become hateful/cringe, not just a bit tired.

If you let songs accrue this way and stay for 1yr+ you will notice clear seasonal cycles. I won't give examples as they may be different for each person, but you certainly will notice.

Now when you try a fragrance, you can put on enough that you smell it when you are driving, and pay attention to anything out-of-season to which you feel compelled to listen. This will give a strong and natural indication of the true seasonal nature of the fragrance.

Also, this is another topic, but you can 'use' seasons theatrically, rather than trying to blend yourself to the seasons

Since every faggot there will spray one million or Sauvage or shit like that i probably go for a bombastic arab fragrance that fill the room. Something like Rasasi Shuhrah, smoky and soapy tomato leaf with some oriental touch. Sickeningly sillage.

Sampling Tom ford noir de noir and it smells like a modern version of what my 70 year old mother wears

>>17825129
>>17825129
I was really sussed out by this site, too, but it had the cheapest scent I wanted by like $15 bucks and Fragrancenet JUST ran out of stock. Came the other day and it was legit, smelled identical to the sample. YMMV, but I know I got the real deal for way cheap. Dont forget to use the 5% off coupon for texts and emails, too.

>>17825371
Yeah. That is how Tom Ford works.

>>17825418
It’s almost like a more feminine habit rouge. I suppose it’s the vanilla, rose, wood combo. I like masculine leaning rose frags. Are there any recs asides from habit rouge and Davidoff zino. I’m also realizing that I probably like rose frags because they remind me of my mother.

>>17825255

>>17825422
I like unisex Tom Ford frags because the vainilla depth reminds me of my ex. Last time I saw her was in 2017.

>>17825464
you’re dating a lesbian

>>17824996
no, it's pretty nice, best thing I've ever smelled. it's a really smooth aromatic blend, masculine but pleasant.

>>17825500
>making a girl sniff classic gay fragrance
> she doesnt like it
> she's a lesbian

That's some flawed logic

>>17824996
>>17825511
now let me elaborate further: I blind bought one of the aftershave bottles from some ebay seller who has old stock. it really blew my mind, because so far I had only sampled designer fragrances at the mall, and it's really a different league.
if you want to get an idea what it smells like, with lower risk, try to sample hermes equipage somewhere. the opening of equipage is different, with more focus on citrus, but in the drydown they are identical to me. in fact, equipage is my go to replacement for it and I use the original only for special occasions.

>>17825515
What makes Antaeus gay again? I thought Aventus and Ultramale were the gaydar frags

>>17825515
scientific studies repeatedly prove that women like the body odour of gay men more than straight men

>>17825577
body odor and fragrance are two uniquely different things, but i’m sure a gay guy wouldn’t say no to you asking to bottle his sweat to use as the latter.

>>17825577
it only proves that fresh body odour from gays is attractive stop spreading misinformation

>>17825559
antaeus was the first gay guy cruising fragrance. then it got replaced by kouros and le male. aventus has always been a fuckboy/bougie thing.

>>17825577
it’s over, straight cisters…

>>17825515
it’s literally the quintessential scent of a macho man
if she doesn’t like the smell, she’s into women/pushovers

>>17825595
yeah, i bet you’re all over the smell of macho men

>>17825590
Yeah Aventus doesn't seem homo

The rest of this list seems accurate. Le male definitely

>>17825599
aventus has always been a straight guy thing. mostly desperate straight guys, but a big part of the whole fragbro hype was that it supposedly drove women (not men) crazy.

>>17822835
>>17822929
Okay you guys can stop advertising it now. It should only just be the 3 of us who has it.

New Thread
>>17825580
>>17825580
>>17825580

>>17825559
they still are. aventus is a big deal in the gay community due to its "boxer dropper" status. ultra male is in the same spot. i've never heard anyone in these circles talk about antaeus, at all. fruity fragrances for fruits - it makes sense when you think about it.
>>17825590
no it wasn't. even brut has more pedigree in that regard.

>>17825559
Antaeus and Kouros used to be very popular with gay guys back in the day. they were like the 1980s equivalent of Le Male

>>17825559
nothing. antaeus is basically unknown in the gay community, or at least not more or less popular than other regular fragrances.

>>17825613
You sure seem to know a lot about the homosex community.

Frags with the strongest sillage and that last for a long time?

Also what are some 10/10 frags based on the way they smell alone regardless of sillage?

>>17825767
i do, which is why i'm surprised to see a lot of these wrong claims

>>17825798
I'll put it this way: I'll wear Kouros regardless

>>17825422
toy boy and burberry brit , both strong rose. i'm sure there's other frag snob recommendations that are 'better'

>>17825713
Le Male is gay? But it's one of my most used fragrances...

>>17824370
Do strangers really compliment other people on their perfumes? I thought it was a "fragrance community" meme. The only people to ever comment on my perfumes are my mom and my gf.

>>17824870
Spicebomb smells to me like a teenager fragrance, very unsophisticated, good for "clubbing" and other such activities. If that's your style then get it.

>>17825241

>Dont you worry about some going past their use-by dates?
They won't. I use them a lot. Usually twice a day, about 10-15 sprays each.

>>17826174
I didn't say I wanted to intimidate them. I said I wanted to scare them.

And as for the rest, you're absolutely right on all counts. I'm Norwood 1, I'm 5'11—why shouldn't I hate women?
