The urge to reply “first” is real, but instead imma ask, how do you decide what to use as the OP pic?

I tested the following frags today
>La Nuit de l'Homme Bleu Electrique EdT
A bit spicy. Smells like cinnamon.
>Terre d'Hermès
Smells like mosquito repellant
>dior fahrenheit
smells like wood
>armani code
pretty nice actually. Cant really place it tho.

SOTD: Noir Extreme Parfum
Really getting into TF lately. Both this one and Ombre Leather are quite nice for cold days.

>>17899634
is Black Friday a good time to actually CONSOOM perfumes or are there usually better sales throughout the year?

>>17899670
Woahoaooaoaoah woaaaaaah for noselet take I'm afraid you're sentenced to rose picking in Bulgaria

Gets you laid

>>17899694
With a fellow man

>>17899691
what was i even wrong about?

Just blond bought 30ml of pic related

How did I do

>>17899704

>>17899700
Based

>>17899703
Nothing anon, I just felt the need to spread pointless hate. Enjoy the frags you like unless those frags include prada lhommo and aventus

>>17899704
Good but hopefully you didn't pay too much

>>17899706
>Jerkoff

>>17899677
Incomplete.

I want a cold season frag that makes sense for day wear.

For evenings I wear either Lord George or Jazz Club (Yeah, I know, I know, it's fine). For daytime I struggle, in summer I'd wear TDH Givré or simple aquatics. Now I'm a bit lost.

>>17899744
That's all you have to say? 30 ml for 70 euros is Dior tier price , who fucking cares

>>17899694
is this the smell of Stradivarius shops?

>>17899782
Don't care nerd it smells good

>>17899884
Wrong and embarrassing

>>17899662
>how do you decide what to use as the OP pic?
i'm on a Nicolai roll so i use her frag pics as OP
otherwise i'm normally going for something tasteful and/or relevant to the discussion in the previous thread

>>17899686
>is Black Friday a good time to actually CONSOOM perfumes
a 20% flash sale for everything on notino it a pretty good deal imo, so it might make sense to consoom around this time of the year
some niche shops in my country also have sales around black friday

bought this
very pleasant smell imo

i'll give it a try, this is the type of fragrance i'm most likely to wear

What frags do asian males wear

>>17899927
They dont

>>17899934
Why not

If you want compliments theen pic related is the fragrance

My head hurts. All I want to do is have my head stop hurting and be able to think again. Someone make it stop.

>>17899941
That I wouldn't know. In some countries its even looked down upon being all smelly in a crowd

>>17899941
>>17899949

Heard because of the culture of respect towards others - you don't want to be distracting to others and just like you could be considered annoying for listening to loud music in public, "loud smells" could also be considred rude.

>>17899957
But then again Asia is a broad region. Indians are probably stinkmaxxing with Arab cheapers

>>17899965
Indians have a tradition for poo-mogging. It's a competition of the mounds.

>>17899905
it's nice and inoffensive
i used it for a few years but would never buy it for current Chanel prices

>>17899918
you know what a flash sale is, right?
they had 20% of only for one evening and it was not advertised in advance

I've started wearing my CDNIM again bros...
What can I get that smells higher quality but isnt creedslop?

>>17899966
>>17899965
Which is tragically hilarious when you realize a ton of raw ingredients especially florals are sourced from India. Pottery

Just recieved a 2.5 oz bottle of picrel for 28$. 10/10 fragrance for the price, truly a classy yet modern take on boozy vanilla/benzoin frags. For this price, I can’t recc enough. Rochas just continues to put out good stuff, f for once the YouTube reviewers were right.

>>17899988
MB explorer is the best aventus dupe on the market, in many ways it’s actually smoother and more well rounded than aventus itself. Not a 1:1 clone, but it isn’t supposed to be. Probably 90% similar to aventus.

>>17900008
but it performs like ass

>>17899945
Did you mean to post this on Jeremy fragrances Instagram or something?

>>17899833
It‘s not about the price, it‘s about the quality. Jerkoff churns out goyslop and markets it as high end perfumery to gullible people.

>>17900029
It doesn’t, you just become nose blind to it because the base of the frag is made with ambroxab and akigala which is renown for making people go nose blind. Lasts a solid 6-7 hours.

>>17900031
It is in fact, about the price as well. There are some really shitty frags out there that are expensive. For example, PDM Perceval.

I only like Encre Noire. I don't know much at all about colognes, I just know vetivier smells good.

What will people think about me if they smell this on me every day? I like smelling good. I dress like basic /tip/

>>17900034
Just buy TDH or guerlain vetiver. Both superior to encre noire, both heavy on the vetiver. Also, vetiver sensuel by Mancera is a sleeper that no one wears - extremely well made.

>>17900034
>>17900040
EP Mon Vetiver is also a good (inexpensive) alternative if you are after something brighter

>>17900041
Heard this one was good, only tried BI but I’ve been tempted to sample it.

This shit right here is the best Chypre out there, prove me wrong.

>>17900044
>moggs your chypre

>>17900034
They’ll think you’re kinda gothrock. You’ve got to get Encre Noire a’la extreme so you can be gothrock in church, and Encre Noire Sport so you can be gothrock at the beach.

>>17900044
>>17900048
>mogs both of them into oblivion

Need something similar, any ideas ?

>>17900063
never sniffed this one, what is it like?

>>17900063
Just research this and it seems super feminine and gay

>>17900064
It's really fruity, mostly apple and peach

>>17900031
70 euros for 30 ml are not prices of high perfumery you fucking idiot

>>17900062
Based

>>17900080
to put the price in perspective:
you can get 30ml of most Rogue frags for 85 EUR and 30ml of Nicolai's Intense frags (e.g. New York Intense) for 68 EUR
that's their full retail price btw

>>17900091
I love rogue and Nicolai and I have most of the stuff from them I like

Also, I wish, because I like them more than I like xerjoffs perfumers, but not all their fragrances are better than fiero

im liking jazz club
anything similar i should try out before buying a bottle?

>>17900096
i'm not hating on xerjoff too much but their frags are overpriced
i like fiero's description so i'll probably include it in my next sample haul, we'll see
also fuck them for not selling all their frags in 30ml version (the same goes for most niche/masstige brands tho)

>>17900112
snicebomb extreme is unuronically a better version of jazz club. jazz club smells like an ashtray.

>>17900116
i have snicebomb extreme and it smells nothing like it
the booziness is distinct and not drowned out by the overly rich vanilla in spicebomb's case
that being said i do love spicebomb

>>17900126
I guess I’m just not a fan of jazz club, but yeah I agree snicebomb extreme is good stuff.

>>17899886
But enough about you

>>17899827
Eau des Baux is a fantastic scent from Thanksgiving to Christmas.

>>17899927
>>17899934
>>17899941
>>17899949
>>17899957
>>17899965
Fun fact: most East Asians and almost all Koreans lack the gene variant ABCC11, which limits the production of odorous sweat.

>>17900004
Is it masculine or unisex?

>>17900008
poor cope

>>17900034
>like Encre Noire
>don't know much at all about colognes
many such cases!

Murkwood is a fantastic scent from Thanksgiving to Christmas.

>>17900189
I’ve had aventus, it’s really not that great and anyone who’s ever owned it knows it’s worth maybe half what you’re paying for it. You just fell for the brand meme, you’ll learn over time desu.

>>17900115
Xerjoff have some really nice frags such as fiero and 40 knots. They go full masstige in some of their releases , not gonna deny that. But I don't feel scammed for paying for 30 ml of fiero, is as good as any Nicolai release

And yes 30 ml is amazing for most things and purposes.

>>17899670
>>17899691
Yeesh, I mean even I, as a self proclaimed noselet, look at those descriptions and cringe.

If it doesn’t smell good to you, so be it, but it’s a pity not to be able to enjoy something as basic as TdH.

can i please get some frag inspo that go well with my clothing colour palette?

>>17900004
Don’t tell everyone anon, they’ll start buying it and driving the price up. Jokes aside, this is my daily driver/dumb reach for fall, winter, and any nighttime situation. Mustache EDP is an ultra smooth, niche quality frag larping as a cheapie. The modern woods, with the slightly boozy vanilla and clean rose is superb. Good choice anon.

How do I afford frags? I'm not paying $150 for a fucking cologne

>>17900336
Then don’t, there are plenty of incredible frags for under 40$.

>>17900336
You can look around for cheap fragrance. 80% of it smells kinda mediocre but there's like that 20% miracle fragrances that are both inexpensive and smell good.

>>17900341
Give me five

>>17900344
What do you like? It’s all about preference. Something fresh? Sweet? Woody?

>>17900333
Checked
Eau de Minthé came to mind. It's a modern relaxed fougere.
>>17900336
"Price:$" means the frag is around 50 bucks. Start from there or work harder.

>>17900336
>>17900352
Forgot to link the post:
>>17899639

>>17900333
Eau des Baux and The Dreamer

>>17900333
Ormonde man

>>17900350
Bright, citrusy smells usually. Nothing too dark or musty

>>17899856
Yes

>>17900184
As a Korean male I can confirm this. However I would take smelly bo with a bigger dick and more handsome face over no smells small dick and ugly face any day of the week

>FragranceNet
>Order Status: Your order is in our warehouse
Do I have to pick it up? Order placed Friday

Any reccs for a similar scent to this? It seems pretty overpriced for what it is.

I'm gonna try Profvmvm Roma Arso and Ambra Aurea. Anything else I should look for?

>>17900333
>shades of diarrhea

Nice trips

>>17900743
Acqua di Sale is a nice aquatic frag

Is there a list of essentials/basics/starter scents?

>>17900751
i think we should finally create a guide (like pictures with frag recs) below the OP post - it would be really helpful for newfags like you

>>17900759
I'm amazed there isn't one, a lot of other generals have basic starter packs that go from cheapo shit to the very top tier stuff.

>>17900128
It doesn't deserve the name, barely a spice to be found.

>>17900438
You can buy Jeanne En Provence Neroli Intense for like $10 and it's a very nice citrus perfume.

Now leave this thread and return once you've read, and truly innerstood, the Luca Turin perfume guide.

>>17900333
Yatagan

>>17900761
yeah, we could create a pic with general frag recs based on a good article and go from there and maybe another with fragrance groups where we have frag recs sorted from cheap to expensive
why noone created these and put them right under the OP is a mystery indeed...

>>17900798
Truly, since none in the current shit list prices or where to start.

Allure Homme Sport EE is better than BDC EDP. Why did you lie to me /fa/?

>>17900799
You start with reading the Turin guide, how spoonfed do you need to be?

>>17900799
the amount of entitlement in this post is incredible
the skills required to do an online search for prices come with a high school education at the very latest
are you sure you are allowed to post here, anon?

tl;dr: this is not the spoonfeeding general, fuck off

>>17900811
i love just how ironic this post is. that first bit about entitlement and then everything that follows, it's just pure perfection.

I am heavily dissapointed with /fa/'s taste. All colognes you shill are worse than Dior Sauvage EDT, maybe except Aventus

>>17900820
>want Sauvage
>but cant because Johnny Depp is like a 60 year old aunt

Just bought a back up bottle of NYI. It’s my 6th bottle of it over last 10 years. Yearly sales season reminder: never take recommendations from anyone who hasn’t at least finished a bottle or two of the scent he recommends. I’m off for some vacations with my gf, have a lovely one lads.

>>17900820
Regarding Sauvage: it's an eau de rien, completely uninteresting, the fragrance that accompanies a thousand big four grad scheme interviews, the official fragrance of commuting to work.

We don't need it, we don't want it, and the world would be better if you'd all stop buying it (maybe try the far superior boy instead)

>>17900826
you have good tase, anon
enjoy your vacation

Samples just arrived
>Le Male Jean Paul Gautier
>Black Phantom Killian
>Azzaro Pour Homme Intense

What am I in for?

>>17899988
Loewe Essencia EDP

>>17900080
>70 euros for 30 ml are not prices of high perfumery you fucking idiot
that's what Nicolai, Rogue and other top tier actual niche houses go for
if you want designerslop, save some money instead of buying overpriced clones of designer fragrances from jerkoff or pdm

>>17900742
how is eau des baux overpriced? its main competitors are probably tobacco vanille and spicebomb extreme, and it's quite a bit cheaper than both
that being said, try burberry london for men and boucheron jaipur homme for other comfy, relaxing spicy winter fragrances

>>17900799
the flowchart tells you where to start and the other chart has approximate prices. no real sense in giving exact dollar values, because they change

my Xiaguan tuo tastes like this but without the spices

>>17899706

Will they ever bring back old Aventus? I am tired of buying average Chanel and Dior fragrances. Just bring the old version back

>>17900827
You all hate Sauvage because it's throws the reality of the world in your face every time you smell it.
Sauvage isn't brilliant, it isn't exceptional, it isn't magical. It is simply well put together, friendly, out going, doesn't quit and manages to fit in without changing in almost every situation. And that is more than good enough because the overwhelming majority of people love it. And this is documented time and time again, video after video and post after post. People love Sauvage.
Sauvage as a fragrance is what you wish you could be as a person, but aren't. Instead you'll sit around circle jerking the rare ingredients and exotic creations, lauding each other for your superior taste, looking down on the plebs who shower Sauvage with compliments. Why don't they compliment you? Isn't it obvious how much better your fragrance is? It's niche for gods sakes!
Nevermind that you don't actually understand what niche even means.
So you'll post and post, seething and pretending to laugh at your own wit each time you meme about Bois Imperial. But one black day you'll crack and do the unthinkable: You'll buy Sauvage. You won't post about it here of course, my god why would you? You have a completely anonymous reputation to protect! You'll spray it on and part of you will be ashamed and feeling transgressive, but a small sliver of you will feel hopeful for a change. Maybe, just maybe, today I'll be noticed. Today I'll get a compliment. I just want to feel what it's like one time, everyone else loves this stuff, surely there's one compliment left for me?
I genuinely pity you when you still won't get a compliment and are forced to confront the reality that even a jovial titan like Sauvage cannot mask how rotten, desolate and unappealing you are.

So keep shitting on Sauvage, spray your niche of the month or whatever arab oil is getting hawker now. Much like a tranny pretends to be a woman you are equally delusional in your claims of superiority. Cope and seethe.

Question: Is CurlyFragrance a genuine fragtuber or she's just a shill?

>>17900932
she is literally a paid shill, much like many of the bigger fragtubers
someone even posted her advertisement for professional shilling on here some time ago, wish I'd saved it

>>17900929
Nice, is this pasta?

>>17900900
>That lasts ten times what sauvage should last but doesn't

>>17900856
Other top tier such as?

I have all the the stuff from prin, Nicolai and rogue that I want , and now fiero.

By the way, both Nicolai and rogue have really shit tier fragrances also. Derviche 2 is literally one million tier.

>>17900975
I used to own Fiero and Mefisto Gentiluomo before I sold my entire collection. Paid 160 for the former and 190 for the latter. 100ml each. Good fragrances. Who fucking cares if anon doesn't like Xerjoff. >>17900975

>>17900975
>Nicolai
>shit tier fragrances
which PdN frags do you think are shit tier? i am genuinely curious

>>17900977
Angelys pear and cap neroli are both extremely rough. Those are the worst I've tried from her.

>>17900976
I just hate that people on here just hate on some brands because they are overpriced and then cream over rogue , prin and ald.

Overpriced or not, some of them are good

>>17900932
I've got more fragrance knowledge in my little finger than that silly broad has in her whole head

>>17900932
omg, she is incredibly cringe (also obviously a paid shill)
even chatgpt knows more about frags then her

Dry old expired Make up powdery smell with old woody synthetic vibe

1/10

>>17900932
She is just retarded and her approach to rate fragrances depending on how many random bitches on the street like them is just ridiculous

Elegant patch Smokey ambroxan helvetolide musky galbanum aromachemicals fragrance with good longevity and projection but overpriced and overhyped !

8.5/10

Bold nuclear fruity herbaly musky aquatic with woody Smokey spicy leathery twist beware not for every ones taste ,one of the best perfumes I tried last 15 years
a Masterpiece !

10/10

Distinctive aqua salty fruity musky ozonic woody scent I get alot of cascalone calone combination with violet aromachemicals with cashmeran musky sense, overpriced but elegant beauty crafted masterfully blended

10/10

Traditional fougere based with sandalwood aromachemicals grassy spicy hexanol twist covered with clean ambrettolide amberwoosdy base elegant masterfully blended and crafted
Very impressed

9/10

Oh dear this is not looking good...

this is our punishment for discussing xerjoff frags, anons
we should be more careful in the future

Honey aroma chemicals sweet civet animalistic coumarinic scent it has quality but still static and simplistic

6/10

Funky dark stinky animalic dirty Horse stable smell nothing changes here , ambrinol civet cresols overdosed would make something horrible like this !

0/10

>>17900970
So what if it smells of citrus cleaning products? Also I didn’t say Sauvage but Eau Sauvage. You’re clueless.

>>17900929
Don't be the skinny yellow press citrusy-ambroxan guy, better be the morning leader bathed in lavender-mossy fougeres.

>>17900929
>>17900827
>>17900820
Then the 3000ml Sauvage hits.

>>17901075
This guys body looks like a medieval depiction of Jesus. Oddly fecund.

>>17901049
In this context I didn't expect I had to specify which sauvage I was clearlg talking about

Also. If you say it smells synthetic, you haven't tried it

>>17901048
>who would make something horrible like this

>>17901030
I am wearing this today baruch hashem baruch ata hashem elokainu melech haolam borei minei besamim

>>17901116
>God bless you, God bless you, God, the king of the world, sexually ignorant with drugs

Take that back

Just give it to me straight. Is sauvage the greatest men's fragrance of all time?

>>17901119
not even close.

>>17901119
It's closer to the worst

>>17901122
>>17901125
Cope

>>17901128
No just a superior nose and brave iconoclasm.

>>17901128
nope, just giving it to you straight as requested

>>17901119
I think we all know who's the citrus-ambroxan enjoyer

>>17901128
ironically, only liking sauvage in a the true cope. It shows that you are unwilling to leave your safety net and try new things, and it takes thousands upon thousands of people saying it’s good for you to wear it. Try wearing something no one else wears, that’s true confidence. My signature frag is DHS2021 and even then, I feel like it is too mainstream despite not many people wearing it. Inb4 designers suck, DHS2021 is demauchy’s magnum opus, what he intended for sauvage to be the entire time.

>>17901108
I fucking love this picture so much

>>17901118
Its a blessing over fragrance bro

>>17901150
Oh well then Ching Chong nip nong to you too friend

>>17901145
>DHS2021
Great choice

>>17901119
It‘s not even the best of its kind, every concentration of Bleu de Chanel is better.

i cant stand fragrance snobs. the absolute worst

>>17901153
I can’t get enough of it man, truly a masterpiece for me. Unfortunately, Dior will likely discontinue it as they do everything else

>>17901171
Good thing I'm just a fragrance enjoyer.

>>17901171
Then you are truly in the wrong thread.

>>17899634
which one would you give as a gift: New York Intense or Baraonda?
I know he loves both and while Baraonda smells more "like him", he usually wears NYI
>inb4 fag
it's for my brother

>>17900798
>>17900759
>>17900761

If I were to create one like this, I would need some direction from the experts.

I've made a framework so far, which consists of a category (fresh/clean, blue, spicy, etc.) similar to >>17899639

My initial idea was then to have five recommendations per category
> budget
> work/school
> formal/date
> niche
> richfag

Would this work, or are there already here a hole/error in my thinking?

If I should proceed with this, which categories do we include? because it's kind of difficult to not just rip off the fragrance groups chart.

>>17901181
If it’s for your brother, unless you really REALLY know what he likes - anything niche is a gamble, especially something like NYI. That’s just my take, but if you know he’s a frag guy I’d say NYI

>>17901183
I think a chart like that would give the wrong impression about what these threads are about.

The current chart respects the readers intelligence by simply breaking down by fragrance genre, encouraging deeper thought about perfume than "Would I wear this to work or school". I don't think we want to encourage that sort of thing in these threads.

>>17901194
in that case, it'll be 5 recs of Dior Fahrenheit on all categories

Went to an Abdul Samad Al Qurashi kiosk/booth yesterday. Tried a bunch of stuff, and I especially liked this one:
>www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Abdul-Samad-Al-Qurashi/Khashab-Al-Oud-Bois-de-Oud-21355.html
I think it's great but I had concerns about its longevity/performance, which is why I didn't end up buying it. Despite liking it a lot. Instead, I bought a 6mL bottle of pic related:
>store.asqgrp.com/us_en/elite-aoud-oil.html
Don't know how to describe this one. It's very oud-y but not as....stinky, I guess? Has just enough woodiness and sweetness to make it pleasant and not overwhelming. It's very different from my other oils and I liked it enough to bother buying a small bottle. And the price was alright. Not inexpensive but not outrageous either.

thoughts?

Opinions on this?

>>17901181
When in doubt, go for the most versatile.

Nyi all the way, 30ml format

>>17901184
>>17901209
thanks Anons, will go with NYI

>>17901203
Great spicy-tobacco scent, i like the vintage better
>>17901207
One of the OG of fougeres, definitely classy but fresh at the same time

>>17901172
Dh2020 and dhs2021 are really grear releases and it got the right ones butthurt about it, make the dh line fresh and with incense

>>17901214
I remember in the early 2000s knowing nothing about perfumes and loving polo green at first sniff. Haven't smelled it since and am afraid I will not like it now

>>17900030
But isn't Jeremy /ourguy/?

>>17901220
He's no one's man but his own

Unironically, what's women's obsession with BDC? I can at least name 3 better Chanel fragrances that are within the same pricetag. Do they love it cuz BDC is close to BBC or what?

>>17901244
She is paid to like it. Go outside. This board is not about frags that women like, you got those on fragrantica forum. Unbelievable faggot, women also love prada lhommo but it doesn't stop it's wearers from sucking dick aventus too. Women like what person they like is wearing unless they're paid shills on YouTube or a frustrated wife.

sotd: sandalwood oil with hints of Indian children blood

>>17901244
>projection
You got something you wanna share with the class, mate?

>>17900008
No seriously, I'm starting to feel like I'm taking crazy pills here, because Explorer smells absolutely nothing like Aventus or any of its clones. It doesn't even smell like it's trying to strike the same categories. Is my nose actually broken? What the hell

>>17901273
you’re probably one of the few people who go noseblind to ambroxan and akigala

>>17901183
You’ll realize how bad of an idea it is the second you are going to start working on it.

>I would take smelly bo with a bigger dick and more handsome face
Obviously. You smelling ok doesn't mean any western male couldn't beat the shit out of you.

>>17901384
desu if I got all my frags for free from the brands I shill for I would also keep them like this

>>17900742
>nice cozy fragrance

I hate poor people so much.

>>17900744
>diarrhea
Shades of nature, faggot. Checked.
>>17900795
>Yatagan
Mmm. This is interesting. Comments in fragrantica say is too loud. Is it? Also, is Yatagan wearable in summer?

>>17901389
>frags for free
I don't think so. This bitch bought some Hermes purse and I saw the fucking bag in 5 videos already. They are just a couple of poor polish gypos.

>>17900745
Yeah I'm already planning on copping it. Why does Lucas Turin hate it though?

>>17900742
You can get 75 ml for less than €50. How is that overpriced?

>>17901403
big influencers get a lot of free shit. fragrance youtubers will get many fragrances for free if they play ball and hype them up. gents scents talked about the whole process at length

>>17901181
i have both of them, both of them are great
NYI if you want to play it safe (he knows it already)
Baraonda if you want to get him something new and you don't mind something expensive

>>17901384
the best part is the fucking cheap ikea-tier shelf to store frags that worth thousands of pounds, speaks volumes desu

>>17901407
i don't find acqua di sale in his two guides, do you have his review of it?

>buys 30$ frag

why are perfumers like this? Are they gouging us or is Rochas just that based?

>>17900820

He doesn’t do coke, it’s just called aging.

>>17901470
Fuck off, he had both the physical deterioration and the behaviour of a cokehead. If he doesn‘t do coke nobody does.

>>17901488
Not just coke, he is a polish subhuman too

>>17901448
Been there, got tired after a month. Give it some time, it's just a nice tamed frag reasonably priced

>>17901450
>>17901488
He is just a 35 yeard old man, plus anglos, germans and slavs age like shit (pale skin is not that great sometimes).

>>17901434
>best part is the fucking cheap ikea-tier shelf
check the radiator next to the shelf

>>17901522
I personally love it, but I can see how that would happen. It is quite linear.

>>17901533
yeah, i was made to see in the previous thread
i like the shelf more because it speaks about the mindset in general (cheap af, can't afford something better/and or lacks the taste in general, she probably got all the top shelf frags as payment for her shilling, etc.), putting it next to the radiator is just retarded

thank you for reading my blogpost.

Gonna preface this with the fact that I’m still new to frags in general, but I learned today I’ve been mispronouncing sillage, and a bit more embarrassing, eau.

For anyone else who may care, it’s sea-aje (rhymes with triage) and even tho most people already know, it’s ‘ooh’ de toilette not ‘you’ de toilette.
Oddly enough I correctly guessed bois, and wasn’t one of the people pronouncing it boys lol.

Clean vegital haiti vetiver methyl pamplemousse iso e super hedione irisi powdery citral mens fresh spicy floral woody perfume

6/10

>>17901434
Here's the review

>>17901579
It's also a 6/10 in my book, very unspectacular, boring vetiver scent

>>17901586
Don’t talk to the ChatGPT poster.

It was bad enough when it was comically reviewed frags as Trump, it’s even worse now.

>>17901586
If you want masterclass French perfumery perfume, buy Habit Rouge Eau de Toilette Guerlain

Fresh coumarinic methyl pamplemousse hedione iso e super aldehydic spicy perfume with conventional young vibe

7/10

If I was in my 20s and 30s, I'd definitely wear this. Only minus is the price

>>17901594
Agree, i would choose Guerlain Vetiver over Grey Vetiver

>>17901597
If Grey Vetiver is 6/10, that one would be 4/10

>>17901598
Guerlain is the best French brand, classiest

Calone cascalone dihydromyrcenol salty dark fruity spicy leafy salicylate sandalwood amberwood raw materials patch smokey leathery bold combo still very well made perfume one of the best releases period it has that classic dna of the old Kenzo Pour Homme of the 90s masterpiece but with more depth modern character and mysterious touch !

9/10

Quentin Bisch is phenomenal

Sweet smokey iso e super vanillic lactonic unisex fruity damscone ionenes combo with alot of woodyambers kephalis aromchemicals , clever perfumery and well crafted!

This was actually a good read. I don’t agree with you, but this was a well written and entertaining message.

>>17901646
Everyone smells nice when clean. We just love fragrances because we want to be able to choose how we smell like

You are not special, retard

Armani code or la nuit de lhomme

>>17901581
i think he missed the mark here
the review is 80% about the tacky online presentation (i assume from a long time ago) and the frag description itself def doesn't really justify the * rating

>>17901629
so much this

>>17901030
This smells like leathery Bleu cheese on my skin. What the hell

>>17901653
mad and smelly

>>17901656
kek, i changed my mind - he might have been salty about their pricing:
a full bottle for 250 EUR is def overpriced
even better, they sell an 18ml generic vial of the same for 98 EUR
fuck them

Yeah Aventus and Sauvage are trash but don’t shill me shit like Bugspray Imperial instead ok?

Why is it always the ones with the worst takes and the worst taste that try to force their mallcore slop as anything but? Who are you trying to fool, bro?

>>17901028

As always I forgot the pic

Sculpture Parfum should be fucking shilled here like crazy

>>17901397
Yatagan is very distinctive but it is fairly subdued (you can always spray less), doesn't last for ages and has moderate spillage as far as I've experienced.

It's mainly a fall/winter type of scent but I've worn a light spray of it in summer without any problems.

>>17901119
>>17901155
All you need is Sauvage. It is multipurpose. It can be used day or night, at school or at the office, etc. When I put Sauvage on I turn into a different person. I’m not joking. My back straightens, my muscles get tighter, and my balls drop even further. No, I’m not kidding. It fucks in the way that no other fragrance does, and it’s the type of frag to spit roast your girlfriend alongside aventus while you sit in the corner and watch with your baby penis in your hand, reeking of oud. Do I have Aventus? NO. I have Dior Sauvage. “What about the Sauvage flankers?” You may be wondering. Well, buy any one of them. They all have the same effect. They all WORK. Bleu de chanel SUCKS. Good luck getting laid or getting any positive attention with that. Example: I’ve had two girls in Sephora specifically say “omg Dior Sauvage is so outplayed, it smells like old man” when I was shopping one day. so I wore Sauvage around them the next time I stopped in. Guess what they said? “Omg what are you wearing today? It smells great!” Stupid bitch. I’m wearing Sauvage.

>>17901706

Yes, his books (especially the first perfume guide) are informative and hilarious. You should have to pass a quiz on their contents before you can post in this thread (on this website if we are being honest)

>>17901771
There are a million inoffensive fresh drying down to amber perfumes in the world, what makes this one so special?

>>17901181
Baraonda is more gift appropriate because it's more expensive per ml. If I liked them both equally I would just get NYI myself and would appreciate getting Baraonda sa gift.

>>17901777
This but replace Sauvage with youth dew.

>>17901780
Sounds nice, thanks mate.

>>17901667
For extrait concentration 250 is not the end of the world desu.

>>17901797
yeah, but i'm not sure many need 100ml of a frag with extrait concentration and performance
i'd be more forgiving if they sold smaller bottles for acceptable prices (like Rogue or PdN does)

>>17901784
i'm this close to buying youth dew but i'm going to wait till friday

>>17901581
New to frags. Who is this?

>>17901862
the fragrance equivalent of Scaruffi

>>17899634
My compliment-getters are Al Haramain
L`Aventure and Rasasi La Yuqawam Pour Homme. Those get complimented quite regularly.
Most recent:
I was interrupted by the girlfriend of a client during our meeting as she wanted to know what fragrance I use as she wanted to get it for him (L`Aventure).
I also went to a theater with my wife a few weeks ago as a friend of hers got the lead in there. Afterwards we said hi and hi hugged her briefly and she muttered: "You smell so nice, why do you smell so nice?"
Both are affordable copies of expensive fragrances but give them a try if you have the chance.

>>17901875
GOOD MORNING SIR!

>>17901881
<lifts tophat> And a good morning to you, sir

Pulled out my jazz club and btf samples to see if I might wanna wear them to thanksgiving tomorrow
Nope, still cloying vanilla bombs

>>17900029
I spray on clothes and hair (i have long hair), people have noticed it 8+ hours after spraying, but yes on skin it doesn't last much.

I'm trying so hard not to get into frags, I'm the type of retard that buys their water bottle at the store based on how cool the design is, and I know I will be broke within 4 hours of me getting into this.

Newfag here, should I get this for 30 bucks?

went on a whim and bought my first grown up scent, but now i see its fairly generic and i feel a lil bad

>>17902098
Every single normie fuckboy wears this.

>>17902098
What exactly drew you to purchase this, on a whim?

>>17902143
think i saw people posting about it on /fit/

>>17901779
You forgot Le Male

>>17902147
What did they say specifically that made you interested

>>17902168
i dont remember, i just kept seeing it pop up and i passed by the scents area in the mall and bought it so i can finally have one and get it over with

I've never really worn a cologne before, looking for something that would attract thin starving girls, maybe something sweet that smells like baked goods. any ideas?

>>17901252
post fit

>>17902126
No they aren't. Normie fuckboys aren't dropping $150 on cologne

this...this is what is best.

>>17902230
anon…

Thoughts on Demeter?

>>17902098
Why do people buy inoffensive normie generic shit like this? I guess it smells okay but who cares really, you're just one of a million other people wearing the most popular bland fragrance ever.

>>17902098

>>17902442
I’ve been seeing a lot of discourse online about how this is a fragrance “everyone” has. That it is boring, soulless, metallic, etc. Well I live in Chicago and have yet to smell this on anyone else, despite it being a number one seller and (allegedly) worn by children and fuckboys the world over. Are teens and kids really dropping 150 bucks on this stuff? I don’t think so. Are fragheads who smell like CDNIM wearing this? No. The truth is, all you need is Dior Sauvage. I see some peoples posts on here, with 50+ frags arranged with mood lighting inside a cabinet or on a silver tray. Are you really wearing all of those bro? Who is this bizarre shrine for?What do girls say when they come over and see your collection? Oh wait, they can’t say anything because they don’t exist in your world, because you look like a hoarder freak. And no woman would subject herself to your sickness. All you need is Sauvage. My best friend collected fragrances and you know what? He is ashamed. Hides it from the world. His sick addiction. He doesn’t want women to know he is a freak. But Johnny Depp’s signature fragrance (Sauvage) saved him. Sold his creed, YSL, PDM garbage flooding his shelves to make room for the king, and the only thing he needs. Sauvage saved him.

fun brand, scents are hit or miss, dont last long

I (female,23) switched my scent from tom ford lost cherry to this (pic) and the way people treated me about my smell is so different. No one ever acknowledged my scent before.

Now I had several people when greet hugging me tell me i smell good. Then i had a person from my uni tell me they had something like a phantom smell from it during the day when they remembered me. Some guy at a party said i smell so good and fake took of a ring he was wearing to fake purpose to me.

And that only in the past 1 week!
I’m really happy about it

>>17901181
>Baraonda
you reminded me I have a sample of this and have been wearing it for a few hours now
smells like a drunk woman, but fuck, I love it

>Black Phantom Killian
Makes me want to vomit. A chocolate cake baked with motor oil. Terribly sweet like that time I ate too many meringues as a kid.
>Ultimate Seduction Extreme Out EdP Laurent Mazzone
Horrific. Like someone spilled red port wine over your nice wood cabin and let it fester for a week and the animals got in.
>Azzaro Pour Homme Intense
Wow, love it. A soapy aromatic blast that mellows out to be more fresh spicy and woody. It's more than that, I just don't have the language.
>Le Male EdT JPG
The only other JPG I have smelled is Ultra Male so this one surprised me by how normal it is. The advertising didn't help. The fresh spicy, lavender, vanilla is very pleasant. Smells like detergent for the first 5 seconds. You don't need me to tell you about this one anyway.

I guess I'm a certified fougere enjoyer.

Best discovery set I've purchased so far. 20x 2ml atomisers - some challenging, some generic, but a couple I'm thinking of buying bottles of (La Fin Du Monde, Tom of Finland, Fat Electrician). Would 100% recommend this set if you can find one

>>17902670
ELDO is based in general. more experimental than most of the big "niche" brands while keeping the pricepoints more at designer levels

Replica by the fireplace is goated.

Interesting, for me Dreamer smells too sweet and nauseating. That's my first Versace and I thought the rest of Versace smells the same too. It took me a while before I was mind blown by Versace Pour Homme and Au Fraiche
