Thanks fren

I’m wearing givenchy vetyver today. I forgot how much I like this one. It has the clean vetiver like in grey vetyver with a sandalwood/cedar base. Just a hint of bergamot up front. It’s a simple classic

>moving to a tropical country
>usually like alluring warm spicy scents (notes: cardamom, tonka, cedar, ginger, amber, vanilla, tobacco...)
What can you recommend that will be wearable in warm temps?

>>17923382
1. **Acqua di Parma Colonia**: A classic, versatile scent that's light enough for the tropics yet has a sophisticated depth. It features bright citrus notes balanced with subtle spice and woody undertones.

2. **Tom Ford Soleil Blanc**: A warm and spicy scent with cardamom and amber, but also has lighter notes that make it suitable for warmer weather.

3. **Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Cologne**: A lighter take on the warm and spicy genre. It features almond and spices, balanced with citrus and a light, fresh feel.

4. **Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Pour Homme**: Known for its light, citrusy notes combined with a subtle spiciness. It's a fresh scent that's perfect for tropical climates.

5. **Atelier Cologne Santal Carmin**: A unique blend of sandalwood, saffron, and spices, offering a warm scent profile that's not too heavy for the heat.

6. **Diptyque Philosykos**: While not traditionally spicy, it offers a fresh fig and woody scent, perfect for tropical climates and unique enough to stand out.

7. **Creed Virgin Island Water**: A luxurious choice blending lime, coconut, and rum notes, giving a tropical vibe without being overly sweet or heavy.

>>17922235
my humble collection for the 1k
started getting into this like 2 months ago, bought a cheapie from my country first, then dipped into "big" designers with profondo and finally got my DH2020 this week.
every women that I've met said that DH2020 blows the other 2 frags I was wearing out of the water. it does smell very good indeed, I'm content with my purchase

>>17923424
>Acqua di Parma Colonia
The citrus note lasts under 5 mins. Just get Barbasol shaving cream instead and you will smell the same.

This post made me revisit Dior homo 2020 and it might also be a good rec for the anon moving to the tropics. He also might want to check out Guerlain vetiver

>>17923481
Eh as far as the dior homo line goes I prefer the older line with iris, especially DHP
The new one is too woody and minimalistic imo.

>>17922235
fake and gay thread posted way too early. you even fucked up the first post. literally kill yourself

which one of these should I buy if I want to stand out?

spicebomb extreme
bleu de chanel
azzaro the most wanted
le male elixir
Versace eros
jazz club

>>17923598
Blue de channel has a nice original woody note to it. I’d go with that fren

was at Saks yesterday. snooping by the Tom Fords and the lady asks if I'm looking for something. Oud Minerale. "They don't make that anymore." I heard it's coming back as a signature line. "Oh we're not supposed to talk about that yet."

>>17923764
Did she swoon at your knowledge of underground fragrance news?

>>17923438
Dior homme EDP or EDT?

I really like by the fireplace. Are there other frangances that are pretty similar to this one? Thanks in advance

i'm currently wearing dunhill driven EDP

everyone says it's exactly like boss bottled intense EDP and lasts just as long, just doesn't project quite as far

boss bottled intense edp has a 4.22 on fagrantica, whereas the dunhilll has a 3.7

>>17924031
DH2020 only has a EDT version

has anyone else tried any of the versatile paris perfumes? croissant cafe seems pretty interesting desu

>>17922235

>#1000
Fuck yea. a thousand threads of dispair!

Latest haul:
Casamorati Regio: Bright lemon-lavender opening with a slight clean feel but it doesn't smell like a cleaning product. It's very interesting because there's nothing that smells quite like this. Can't wait for the mid and drydown. Dangerous to blind buy, but very interesting to sample because I haven't smelled anything quite like it. Comparisons to black orchid are fallacious.

Bentley for Man Intense: Deep rich sweet velour with a semi-leather feel. Very similar to Lubin Idole, but more smokey/leather and less sweet/woody. Very interesting scent for a cheapie price. Easy recommend.

Goldfield and Banks Pacific Rock Moss: Light citrus and oceanic. Similar to Versace man eau fraiche, but with a better selection for the backing moss and wood scent. Very nice, although according to online the longevity is fairly shit. Oh well, it still smells great and you can always take a sample with you.

Guerlain Homme EdP: Online reviews make it seem like a mojito in a bottle; it's not. A soft sophisticated nutty-woody base with overtones of mint, rum, and lime. Everything for a mojito is there on the shelf but the vibe of the whole thing is much more reminiscent of LIdGE with the chocolate/cocao swapped out for rum and mint. An excellent frag.

>>17924188

Completely changes an hour in and somehow becomes much closer to black orchid (still different), but that lemon-lavender becomes dark and smokey

Bentley for Man Intense:
>Deep rich sweet velour with a semi-leather feel. Very similar to Lubin Idole, but more smokey/leather and less sweet/woody. Very interesting scent for a cheapie price. Easy recommend.
Slight change on the drydown. The leather dissipates to a creamy sweetness (likely from the benzoin) with a dark floral backing from the patchoulli.

Goldfield and Banks Pacific Rock Moss:
>Light citrus and oceanic. Similar to Versace man eau fraiche, but with a better selection for the backing moss and wood scent. Very nice, although according to online the longevity is fairly shit.
Still going a couple of hours in, but the freshness basically disappears and you are left with an earthy-moss drydown.

Guerlain Homme EdP:
>A soft sophisticated nutty-woody base with overtones of mint, rum, and lime. Everything for a mojito is there on the shelf but the vibe of the whole thing is much more reminiscent of LIdGE with the chocolate/cocao swapped out for rum and mint.
I don't know what the fuck happened but it got MORE fresh on the drydown. It's like nutty-rum scent got out of the way and the lime-mint-woods scent started blasting. This is a wild one.

>>17924459
Guerlain homme is a gem. The lea Boise flanker is also very nice.

What do you anons think of Tom Ford ombre leather. Feel like I got scammed out of my $250

>>17925482
It’s not that great tbqh. Even oud minerale that is heralded as a great fragrance, and I have a 50ml, gets boring after a few wearings. They’re mostly incomplete fragrances.

>>17925484
I'm planning to get Hugo boss' apple scent. Tried a sample and I'm in love. Would it help me pull bitches?

just bought my first real fragrance: D&G the one. What am I in for? Can you wear the same fragrance as your friends? What are the etiquettes of this?

>>17923598
I'm not a great judge of this, but I think The Most Wanted Parfum stands out quite a bit. If I was you, I would buy decanted samples of all of them first. It's worth the investment for your peace of mind, instead of continually wondering if you bought the right bottle. I use My Fragrance Samples. I think they have all of those ones available. I've never bought any Chanel myself, but I remember there being an e-mail from their newsletter saying they only sell Chanel through a hidden link available to those on the newsletter. (Chanel is notorious for taking legal action against decant websites. I think MFS might actually be the only decanter who sells it.)

Recommend me a delicious sexy winter fragrance fir everyday. Not too feminine but manly sexy.

For this special 1k thread I’m wearing
Guerlain Le Parfum du 68

>>17927527
Nice how is it?

I’m going to Tokyo for work. What are som Japanese exclusive frags?

Be honest. What do you have more of: Date night scents or dates?

>>17928109
I always wear DHP on dates. last one was on friday, will be seeing the girl again this wensday

>>17927741
Would wear pine scents to smell like an ancient japanese wooden temples.
Also, lucky bastard, my biggest desire is to escape the western hellhole too.

>>17928257
I never realized Comme des Garcons is Japanese. I never thought I would go to Japan but now that I’m going I’m excited to see it.

>>17928266
You could try the Incense or Monocle series too. Or go complete clean with Marseille, smells like a freshly cleaned up french Hotel room.

>>17928275
Thanks there seems to be a store in the city. Le labo makes a Tokyo city exclusive called Gaiac 10. I might get a bottle of that and it I don’t like it I’m sure I can sell it on eBay

Does anyone else think that Rochas Mustache EDP smells more like TF Ombre Leather EDP than it does YSL tuxedo? Am I crazy?

hey peeps, my little brother is a teen who's getting interested in grooming himself and using perfume. i'm thinking of buying a discovery set for christmas. which one of these, if any, looks good?

no 1:
Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Le Parfum pour Homme Eau de Parfum 1,5 ml
Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme Eau de Toilette 1,5 ml
Paco Rabanne Invictus Platinum Eau de Parfum 1,5 ml
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Le Parfum Eau de Parfum 1,5 ml
Paco Rabanne Phantom Eau de Toilette 1,5 ml

no 2:
Maison Margiela: Replica Jazz Club EDT Eau de Toilette 1,2 ml
NOVELLISTA Deep Moon EDP Eau de Parfum 1,2 ml
Burberry Hero EDT Eau de Toilette 1,5 ml
Joop! Homme EDT Eau de Toilette 1,2 ml

Coach Coach for Men Eau de Toilette 2 ml
Coach Platinum Eau de Parfum 2 ml
Rochas L'Homme Rochas Eau de Toilette 1,2 ml

>>17928364
number 1 is the most normie-tier of your list of discovery sets, therefore the safest to buy as a gift.
Also, those frags are a fucking sugar bomb, so they'd suit a teenager quite well.

>>17926438
Stronger with you intensely or Ultrared. Scent-wise, the former is heavier than the latter (toffee / cinnamon vs orange / chocolate / vanilla)

>>17928374
>Also, those frags are a fucking sugar bomb
does that mean they lean feminine? because he might be sensitive about that

I love Targhee Forest but it's not on any discounters. Is there anything similar that's like half the price?

>>17928450
Eucris Edp

>>17928405
>does that mean they lean feminine?
No. but they are less masculine than, for example, armani code. "Less masculine" in the sense of being suitable for a younger crowd (< 25 years old).
>because he might be sensitive about that
Unlikely, since sweet frags are "in" now.

>>17928450
Polo green Caron yatagan

>>17928364
No 3 and 4 are pretty good.

Which /frag/ to get a big tiddy goth gf?

>>17929041
I wonder whatever happened to her. She had a goth phase then a skinhead phase then a weird 80s metal bimbo phase then she disappeared

>>17929071
She got a bf that said to grow up and get an only fans account. Today I’m feeling unwell so I’m wearing a comfor scent. Caron pour un homme

>>17929198
Guerlain Jicky is nice and similar too. It smells like sex.

>>17922883
Do u like it

>>17929614
Yea

If I like guerlain vetiver what else might j like?

>>17929198
looks like she went total tiktok goth but then disappeared again about a year ago

>>17926155
I loved yatagan so much but it was honestly the weakest fragrance I've ever worn. It disappeared so fast it was heartbreaking.Had to sell my bottle.

>>17927741
Everyone here smells of soap or soapy frags anything other than that considered rude. I wear Antaeus or Lagerfeid Photo to work, but mine is less formal.

>>17929720
How about going out to bars? Same rules apply?

>>17929040
good in what way?

>>17928480
i see. thanks for the help!

>>17929748
No, not really, anything goes, but again not too loud. And only if it's a real bar, most people go to izakaya where eating and drinking is 50/50. Your colleges will hate you if you put some strong smell on you, especially if sushi are served. But if it's an actual Western style bar than no one will be offended.

>>17929756
I had to look up izakaya, they seem fun. I’ll probably just wear a Guerlain edc like imperiale while I’m there not to offend others.

>>17929752
>good in what way?
They have some decent accessible frags in them that most people will like or find inoffensive.

Ordered old Hugo Boss Number one (maybe 10-15 years old, made in UK). What am I in for?

Getting into frags for the first time, and have a question.
What kind of deodorant should I get and is it going to fuck with whatever I want to wear? Do people who wear fragrances have some kind of special solution for the competing smells?

Can anybody recommend a Baccarat Rouge 540 clone which isn't made by arabs? I love this fragrance but I have already gone through several decants and it's starting to get expensive.

I'm not racist and I'm not rich either...but I must stress that I don't care if a clone is a 100% copy and costs only 30€, I won't buy anything made by an arab, due to uh...personal reasons....

In fact I will rather buy spend 50€ on 10ml decants of the real stuff than spend 30€ on a 100ml clone that was made by Arabs.

Please don't say Instant Crush, it doesn't quite scratch my itch and it has that weird nostril tingling sensation thing going on which people associate with cheap designer fragrances..

>>17929863
>deodorant
>competing smells
People will always smell the frag you're wearing, so they won't even notice the deodorant you're wearing (their sillages are not even comparable), unless you're retarded enough to wear a frag as a deodorant.
In short, don't worry about it.
PS: I'm assuming you're wearing a standard deodorant and not those that can be sprayed.

>>17928353
>Does anyone else think that Rochas Mustache EDP smells more like TF Ombre Leather EDP than it does YSL tuxedo? Am I crazy?

It definitely doesn't smell like Ombre Leather to me, but I've never quite understood why people say Moustache EdP smells like Tuxedo either.

>>17929876
>due to uh...personal reasons....
War crime supporter detected

>>17929896
If loving good jewish folk as much as I love my white brothers and sisters is a crime, then lock me up and throw away the key!

>>17929876
>i want clone
>i dont want a cheap-designer-tier associated smell
i feel like these two are very often mutually exclusive, just save up and buy a 70ml. any other "clone" that doesn't have this association, such as trajan by electimuss, will be equally expensive.

this sort of thinking usually ends up you keep looking for good alternatives and spending more money than just getting the actual stuff, leading you into remorse.

if that doesn't fit you, just order the samples directly from mfk that are free of order, those will have cheaper euro/ml price

>>17929886
I think Moustache is generally considered a cousin to Tuxedo rather than a brother.

>>17929876
I mean everyone was saying Cloud was the same as 540. No idea if it's true or not, never smelled either but seems too obvious not to point out

>>17928364
#1 is mostly cloying annoying scents that are closest to Ask body spray. If the idea is to get into fragrances to get away from that base, then this is a bad choice

#2 is late 20s shit with the exception of Joop!, so that may be that wrong vibe

#3 is a good late teen early 20 set. No Limit$ Super fresh is somewhere between immature and confident. Legend red is a smooth cinammon. The two Coach are both good and safe and Explorer is the designer Aventus. Good set

#4 I think is basically the same as 3 but even slightly better. The classic legend is more versatile than red because it's based off of Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce (a winner). The two Coach frags are still good and Rochas L'Homme is a universal blue excellent frag. Day/Night any season.

>>17929876

I would check cloud, red temptation, and Spirito Fiorentino

>>17929614
It hasn't arrived yet, I'll let you know.

>>17927053
I haven’t really been a fan of most of them since I’m still figuring out what kind of frags I like. So far i like summer of 84, memo winter palace and spicebomb

>>17922235
I haven't paid attention to fragrances in at least 4 years and my 150ml of Dior Homme Intense is about to run out which was my previous favorite cold-weather fragrance, how much am I gonna hate the new one?

What's the difference between Eros EDT, EDP, and full Parfum? I'm 32 years old and have been told the EDT is more for teenagers so I went full Parfum because I was told it is more subtle?

Bros I got scammed.
Was told CDG were one of the ones with more unique scents, well pic related just arrived and it's just a vile, no spray, no little stick, not sure how to apply (newfag here).
Anyway, 2 Man, Wonderwood, Blackpepper literally all smell the same, this weird pepper smell which I don't think is something worth smelling like.
2 and amazingreen smell very generic. And Concrete I can't smell at all.
Am I retarded? I smelled just the little tip from the vile.

>>17930299
Smell it on skin. Put the opening on your wrist so that is sealed against your wrist then turn the bottle over. I’ve never smelled any of them

Some months ago /frag/ threads were lasting up to two days max before reaching bump limit. What happened?
I have some two or three frags that I end up using from time to time because I already had the bottles but I find kinda meh, should I just sell them for cheap on Facebook to get nicer stuff? I mean one of them is a 125 ml bottle (D&G Pour Homme) so it would take too long to just use the whole bottle.

>>17922235
>Fragrance general 1k is here!
Nice! I remember when these weren't really numbered.

>>17922883
I remember this being somewhat shilled on youtube back in the day.

>>17930520
Probably isn’t worth selling, just buy something you like. Sniff at the store and buy for cheap online

>>17930299
you didn't get scammed. They're all very unique and strong. you're literally not applying them. Are you huffing the vial head opening? You would only smell the alcohol evaporation because no heat is being applied. 2 Man is cigarette smoke + leather + florals, 2 is vibrant citrus and florals, and Amazingreen is like a vetiver/pine forest. I'm going off of memory tho so you're gonna have to smell it.

>>17930541
>>17930509
Thanks, I did not apply to skin, I am retarded.
Does it take half an hour before I can start smelling the real notes? I did the wrist thing and then tapped my neck, not sure if this is the best way.

>>17929876
>50€ on 10ml decants
why don't you buy a 200ml bottle for 450 Euro?

>>17930542
no the scent should begin immediately (esp for these strong scents.)

put your index finger on top of the sample and turn it upside down and then I use the same finger to distribute the fragrance on your hand (pick spots on your hands and remember which frag is where.) The amount you use on each spot is smaller than what a sprayer would deliver, so you'll have to bring your nose up close. Putting these samples on your neck is questionable because good luck being able to tell what you're smelling.

>>17930542
>Does it take half an hour before I can start smelling the real notes?
No. Maybe you put too little perfume on your wrist.
>I did the wrist thing and then tapped my neck, not sure if this is the best way.
Just apply directly on the wrist as suggested earlier.

>>17930523
I've got a list of nice frags I've sampled the last couple of months, kinda basic bitch to /frag/'s taste but I'm not wearing perfume only for my own enjoyment so whatever.

>>17930672
If it’s for your own enjoyment get habit rouge. It’s the most complex and doesn’t get old. I also thoroughly enjoy Caron pour un homme. It is a comfort scent that is nice for the evenings to relax

>>17930776
I really like it, though where I live it's maybe a bit too warm to wear it most of the year, and the EdC version is much less interesting. Maybe I can get like a 20 ml split of it and a full bottle of Caron or AdP, don't know yet. I already have some nice frags for colder weather (Kouros, Eau des Missions) and I don't want my collection to grow past some 10-ish frags or so. I also have a bottle of Carven L'eau Intense which I don't find that interesting. Will wear it a couple more times, maybe it grows on me.

Mid 20s in cold UK, make me smell light and fresh for the office.

I was told Eros EDT is sickeningly sweet and mostly for teenagers; I'm pushing mid-thirties so I got the Parfum. did I fuck up?

>>17931289
I just blew through about $3k in the passed 3 weeks and have 60 frags. I've got like 30 more I wanna get too; it's so fucking over (for my wallet)

>>17931556
By becoming 30 and not staying a teenager? Most def

>Boss Elixir
Is it any good? I read ppl saying it's Amouage/Tauer tier.

>>17931563
You could actually argue that spending reckless amounts of money quickly is akin to being a teenager, my friends used to annihilate their paychecks when they first started working. I was the only one who invested it all into funny internet money.
So you're the teenager anon.

>>17931556
This seems like mental illness and that you have a problem with impulse control. This is almost a form of self harm, you are least causing your self financial damage.

Like what are you actually trying to achieve by doing this? Is your basic need for affection and love not being fulfilled and you think that the more money you spend, the more people like you? If this is the case, it’s not going to work and you will trap your self in a vicious cycle of buying fragrances because you are lonely or whatever and then you buy even more because it doesn’t fulfil your need for attention or love.

Like is your hobby trying out and experiencing fragrances or do you just like spending money and collecting to fill the void?

I’m just trying to understand the psychology behind financial cuckoldry..

>>17930548
Because I don’t want to spend almost half a grand on one bottle. I love this fragrance but this is a ridiculous amount of money. I would rather not spend all that money at once and buy different samples every 2/3 months and hopefully find a dupe that I like more.

>>17931771
I bought full bottles as an investment. Now I have a bunch of Guerlains and Caron bottles I bought for under $0.5/ml that I can sell for more if I ever decided to

>>17931772
Yeah that’s what people who collect videogames and funko pops tell themselves as well to justify their shopping addiction.

>>17931762
I have the money and like smelling good idk what you want

>>17928353
Finally someone else who agrees with me. Ombre Leather is very similar to both of those options to me, you're not crazy at all.

Just blind bought this lil nigga. What do I think of it? xx

>>17931822
I’ve never tried it. I shave with tabac shave soap and love the scent. I’ve tested tabac original edc and like it too. How is the craftsman?

>>17931781
>Funko pops are the same as a luxury item used for thousands of years

>>17931781
Fragrances typically don’t expire. I will enjoy them until I die and maybe my kids will enjoy them after or sell them if they have any value

>>17931843
Yeah, I've got the full range of Original - the shave soap, aftershave lotion, and EdT, and really love them. Tried the Craftsman today and that's great too - in the same ballpark as Sausage and Prada Luna Rossa Carbon. Only worn it in the hose so far, probably wear it to the office tomorrow.

>>17931889
I wish people talked more about how you can ruin them though. I kept mine in the bathroom for a while because, why not, and the steam fucked it up and gave it a different scent.

>>17931553
here is the exact moment where you fucked up
>Eros

>>17931556
happened to me, then i started to stop buying frags of types i already have (like i already have 2 freshies, dont need more etc). basically applying logic to my purchases helped me in a long term.
also, even more important, once you have your cart ready to order, dont pull the trigger yet. distract yourself with something else for the rest of the day and sleep on it. the next day the urge is literally gone for me. hope this helps you or anyone else. good luck anon

>>17931822
>What do I think of it?
well, you tell us

>>17931553
>did I fuck up?
If you bought it and didn't like it, then yes. Otherwise, enjoy it.

>>17931556
i dont understand why you retards dont just buy decants, for what purpose would you ever have 60 fragrances? how are you ever going to use that amount of smelly water?

>>17924120
ended up getting a sample set
i guess they mostly focus on gourmand perfumes? anyways, their sample set is pretty unique as well as the packaging of the perfumes with a great description. i'm a sucker for this kind of marketing

im shit at describing things but ill try my best:

>croissant cafe
fan favorite apparently, supposed to smell like you're walking into a parisian bakery - the smell of fresh buttery croissants and a cup of coffee. unfortunately, i REALLY dont get the croissant smell. all i smell is musk and the coffee tone? expected way more

>god bless cola
opens VERY strongly with a coca cola smell - and it was hyper realistic I'd say. Midtones slowly switch to caramel-ish popcorn and ends with a sweet coke smell with a caramel undertone. Don't know how to describe it else, but man this smell is really really realistic
Lovely and smells great but atm don't see myself wearing this

next up: rital date, with pic related notes, including a strong pesto smell apparently

>>17931646
>ppl saying it's Amouage/Tauer tier
people are retarded

>>17932171
I will find a way
I never wore frags before unless it was some special occasion since I only had 1 or 2 but I'm sure now that I have over 60, I can easily match a few to the season/time of day/occasion and wear something every day

Boyfriend requested a cologne that I would like to smell on him as a Christmas gift. I know nothing about scents period, let alone men's.
>40/ M (obv)
>Will be in a hot, desert area.
>I like warm scents, things like sandalwood, any kind of woodsy type of scent it pretty good, vanillas. Just something that makes me want to bury my face in his chest and think of warm, freshly-cleaned flannel sheets with a masculine scent.

>>17932403
Eau Des Baux.

How do we feel about TF Noir Extreme? Eyeing it for Christmas

>>17931794
well you did write that it's "so fucking over (for my wallet", so I question that..

>>17931553
You didn't, it's a perfectly good scent for a guy in his thirties.

>>17931822
I think I've seen this in DM or Rossmann. It's probably better than Mexx. I'm presuming it has a very old timey classic "aftershave" smell. I think this would be a good souvenir for tourists, otherwise probably not interesting for real connosoirs.

>>17932403
Allure Homme Edition Blanche

Bros, which one should I buy for Xmas?
Gentleman Boisee or Dior Homme?

>>17932927
are you blind buying it? if so, I find this appropriate because it's a gift you are buying for yourself and it will be a surprise if you like or not..

>>17932927
Dior Homme

>>17932927
it's spelled CHRISTmas you unfathomable faggot

>>17922235
>Fragrance general #1000
