no, we don't need multiple /frag/ threads, we only need this one

>SOTD: Armaf Club de Nuit Milestone
inoffensive aquatic scent for spring and summer, office friendly, great value, performance is actually pretty good (i normally spray this before i go to bed and it's still a skin scent in the morning)
got the CDN small bottle set for the lulz as it's dirt cheap
if this is any similar to Millésime Impérial then people buying the Creed frag for 250 bucks are fucking idiots

>>17942932
Fake thread wait for the other one to get bump limit chud

Does it get better than this? What a beautiful scent damn

>>17942941
go back to the pleb filter thread
thanks

>>17942932
Creed MI doesn't last. Its a 8/10 scent though, I probably wouldn't rock it.

I've avoided this fragrance like the plague because of /fa/. Turned out it's my favorite JPG fragrance and a GOAT fragrance contender. Why is /fa/ so untrustworthy?

>>17942954

also Ultra Male is good, but the OG is def better

Should I pick this up as a daily wear? I love incense

givenchy gentelemn society
tom ford ombre leather

>>17942972

>>17942977
>I want to smell based but also feminine enough to attract young girls
what did he mean by this?

>>17942977
fahrenheit will remind them of their dads, go for it

>>17942919
Any tips for a guy in his mid twenties new to fragrance? I just bought D&G the one. Smells nice and cosy. Looking to buy dior homme intense as well, smelled nice in the store. What about other fragrances? For spring? I used to have nautica voyage that I liked. I like the smell of jean paul gaultier le male as well, but many people wear that one..p82

>>17943000
Also, how do I determine what can be a signature scent and what cannot? Was looking at blue de chanel for spring/summer btw. All tips and recs are welcome

>>17943000
This is everything you need

I ordered decants of Layton, Reflection man and Prada L'homme.
What am I in for?

>>17943023
imagine the smelle

>>17942977
Boss The Scent or D&G Light Blue

>>17942961
I have both, to my nose they are not similar at all.

>>17942919
Look the Baoss pulled up

>>17942954
>>17942956
Or, you know, it could just be /frag/ hates fags. /shrug

>>17942954
Ok, coming back to this. I really like it more than Le Male Le Parfum, smells higher quality, opening is phenomenal. It's also made in Spain while the Le Parfum is made in France. What difference does that make?

what makes it so overrated

If you like vanilla heavy fragrances then please do everyone a favor and kill yourself

>>17943089
>t.

>>17943089

>>17943089
>Nooooooooo, you must buy Dior Fahrenheit and Drakkar noir because my taste is impeccable

>>17943084
honestly the entire luna rossa line is imo, super hard to give any of them credit as best when L'homme intense and Amber also exist

>>17943100
Right, L'homme Intense is much better than Prada Black

>>17942983
That I want to smell masculine but not to the point of dior fahrenheit were many young girls will be repulsed

What makes it so supreme?

>>17943112
everyone's been shilling this recently
whats the deal here

Lads please recommend me affordable daily use signature scents for a 30 something dad office worker into chypres, incense and 70s/80s frags.

>>17943114
literally everything from Rogue
you are welcome

Is Aventus Creed worth it if I like amraf's version?
I don't have a way to sample it.

>>17943127
no, it isn't
not bad but extremely overpriced

>>17943128
If it was not ridiculously overpriced just a bit overpriced, would you think it was worth it?
Let's say they asked for $100 instead of $300.

Ysl Y or LNDL for a date frag? Yesterday at the shop I preferred Y but today LNDL, both seem pretty good tho

>>17943130
100 for a full bottle would be imo an acceptable price for it

>>17943113
it smells like shit the most synthetic leather ever. its probably just one autist making multiple posts about it.

>>17943114
Tried Endymion? Bergamot, suede, coffee, geranium.

>>17942977
>feminine enough
L'homme idéal / light blue / ombre leather
>based
fahrenheit

"based but also feminine enough" is an oxymoron

>>17942977
>attract young girls
Did the ice cream van not work out?

I've smelled Dior Sauvage Elixir and Platinum Egoiste in my block

>>17942958
Go to one of their stores and try it. I like it a lot, I think most here do as well. Hence why it gets talked about pretty much every single thread

>>17943174
hnnnnnngh

What's /frag/'s thoughts on Gentleman Society? I tried it recently and I think it smells pretty damn nice, but it never gets talked about here. I know that some people dislike it for being too 'generic'/a crowd pleaser

>>17942977
Fahrenheit le parfum is a modern version with vanilla. I haven't smelled it, but curlyfragrance likes it and hates the original. Watch her top lists if you're looking for panty droppers.

>>17943180
yah but she also had a bitch on her video say that it smelled like an old man frag

>>17943180
Pretty sure all these youtubers are paid shills. Besides, don't buy based on what random women like, buy for yourself kings

>>17943171
Well ombre leather is based enough for me so I guess I'll go with that. It's just damn expensive for my poorfag budget, I wonder if there are cheaper frags that smell almost the same? Don't day Fahrenheit that is really not even close

>>17943023
Bad , great but poor longevity, mid

>>17943186
>Well ombre leather is based enough for me so I guess I'll go with that
go ahead. You won't regret it
>I wonder if there are cheaper frags that smell almost the same?
Consider an arab clone. I think Rasasi has clones of tom ford frags, but I don't know whether they have an ombre leather clone.

im getting acqua di gio, halloween man x, and th bold off ebay soon. the sellers have insanely good ratings. please be good.

I thought I liked green fragrances like polo green, green Irish tweed etc but I don't think I like them so much anymore. I think I like blue fragrances but not sweet ones. What are some masculine blue fragrances?

>>17942983
>smell based but also feminine

the HRTification of our society has thoroughly corrupted our youth

This shitjuice is the biggest litmus test for a noseblind moron there is in this hobby. Whenever someone recommends this as a good Aventus clone I instantly know their nose is shit and they have no idea what they're talking about.

To be clear I have nothing against clones, over half of my collection is clones. It's just this one in particular that smells like harsh lemon bug spray and barely anything like Aventus at all.

>>17943253
I'd want to smell as masculine as possible but sadly teen girls don't generally like that as much as sweeter, more feminine scents.

>>17943114
>>17943167
Endymion is a good scent, the coffee/lavender combo comes across like a gentleman, but be warned its powdery and inoffensive quality can come across as dandy-ish. It almost leans into gourmand compared to Prada l’homme due to the coffee and white chocolate notes

>>17943260
What’s your favourite dupe? I love a good one,

>>17942977
what youre looking for is CDG2 and not CDG2 (man).

>>17943174
Anon. I don’t know why you posted this, but I’m glad you did.

>>17943180
>SOTD: Fahrenheit Parfum
I recently bought both the EdT and Parfum, haven’t tested them side by side, but going off memory alone, the parfum smells pretty similar to the EdT. Maybe a bit… softer? for lack of a better word. The leather scent is toned down, or w/e people say smells like gasoline is toned down. Something.
It’s still unmistakably Fahrenheit, and still quite good, just a little different.

Aesop Hwyl vs. CDG Hinoki, which is better?

>>17942954
frag fags are retards. They prefer disgusting cloying 80s frags like drakkar noir and egoiste to things people actually like

Alright lads need some input
location:
>big club house
>evening/night time
>sometimes being outdoors
>cold outside
I'm gonna be the dj at that place

my frags i'm contemplating wearing:
>versace eros edp
>jpg elixir
>the one edp
>spicebomb extreme

Thoughts?

>>17943332
Spicebomb or one mil
How is jpg Elixir by the way?

>>17942954
Every single board is like this, /a/ most recommended anime, /tv/s most recommended movies, /mu/s most recommended albums, etc they are all catering to people who want to feel 'friggin superior' to 'normies' not actual quality.

Due to the contrarian, angry reject nerd nature of 4chan anything that surpasses certain level of popularity will get hate. Recommending Ultra male here will probably get you comments like: YOU HECKLIN NOSELET MY TASTE IS SUPERIOR 'MOLUCCLE D'ANUS 88 CIVET' IS MUCH BETTER PLEB YOU NEED TO DIE DEATH DEATH

>>17943339
Hmm spicebomb is pretty festivie tho
>elixir
Really good
It has nuance of the original le male
Mixed with the le male le parfum
But that added honey/tobacco note is just divine
The drydown is so god damn delicious
If you're into sweet fragrances i highly recommend it

>>17942922
what cologne will impress
>her

>>17943345
Just get any sweet fragrance if you want women to like it, the sweeter the better

>>17943345
Naxos

christmas gift for my brother, and the bag I'm giving it to him in

>>17943332
Spice Bomb or Eros. I like Eros lots better but everybody loves Spice Bomb.

>>17943378
I guess so

Going for the 80s Yuppie vibe.
Current frags: Paul Sebastian, Polo Green, Eau Sauvage, Obsession for Men
Planning to get: Hugo Boss Number One, Grey Flannel
Anything I should add?

>>17943389
Loewe pour homme
Agua brava

>>17942943
yes it does, try Sawlaj by Kajal, and you wont come back to 1740
>>17943023
one good fragrance, two powdery monstrosities
>>17943114
Zino
>>17943389
Zino

Any love for Imaginary Authors? Just picked up a bottle of Every Storm a Seranade. Love this kind of woodsy marine scent.

>>17943263
Women like vanilla, so anything with that note should work.
>as masculine as possible
Consider Armani Code (edp or parfum)

>>17943332
If it’s a SBE bottle from when it was first released (AKA, one of the ones that actually has monster performance) def go SBE. Otherwise, even tho I don’t care for JPG in general, everything I’ve heard about it says you should be wearing Elixir. Frankly Sauvage Elixir seems like it would be appropriate too.

>>17943427
I want to like IA more than I think they deserve. They’re kind of like a more niche, -slightly- less good ELDO. Nothing by the house has ever really wowed me, but they at least break the mold a little and try interesting things.

>>17943377
the frag is nice but why the bag?

>>17943493
Well i bought spicebom extreme 3?4? ish years ago
>sauvage elixir
Never smelt it but that's something for next years winter maybe

>>17943427
That reminded me I have to dig up and re try my Memoirs of Tresspasser sample.

>>17943174

>>17943493
how many sbe sprays

>>17943114
Fuggin Lalique Pour Homme Lion for the slightly older feel. No incense at all here, but a lovely lavender note and a woody musky dry down.
Personally, I've also been really into Dunhill Edition. Smooth, chypre-esque, not overly powerful, but confident feeling. Maybe the best $20 I've spent on a frag.

>>17943132
For a date? Between the two, LNDL all the way.

>>17943132
lndl, to me, smells like absolute sex so go for that overspray 8-10 sprays on clothes tho

Tried pour Monsieur , Antaeus and Platinum egoiste, at the mall today


None of them wowed me. Pour Monsieur is just a citrus bomb

SOTD: Aramis Tuscany

>>17943434
I chose ombre leather already I think that's very masculine

I'm the only one that feels like new York intense leans feminine?

>pine accord made in a fresh and wearable way
>pleasing and office friendly
>apple note i usually hate is masterful blended with the pine
Such a slept on scent.

>>17943493
Yeah, niche houses always bring out weird and different things, really like that about them. Gonna try and find a local sampler pack of some of their other offerings, really want to try O, Unknown because of the tea and wood notes. Super hard to find a good tea heavy scent.

>>17943634
yes, probably

>>17943634
No, it leans more unisex. The vanilla is very heavy in it.

>>17943516
I don’t know when it stopped being good, I just know I’ve ready many, many reviews of nuclear sillage and hours of performance, but after trying 3 different recently purchased bottles, it’s clear it has undergone the L’Oreal reformulation process rendering it utter trash.
People will shit on Sauvage because it’s popular, and it’s a much, much different scent than SBE, but I recommend it because it’s mass appealing, and has crazy good performance and sillage, like the original SBE formulation, which seems like it would suite your scenario well.

>>17943540
I have unironically done 10 sprays before going to bed and it lasts about 30~ min. Not noseblindness either, my GF saw me do it, was freaked out and left the room, and came back around 30 min later and was like “Oh, I was worried I wasn’t gonna be able to breath but it’s fine” because it’s shit now.
A single spray or two doesn’t even last that long. 10-15 min tops.

SOTD fougere by alpa. cheap czech brand that makes cosmetics for the common folk. this 250ml hand grenade was like 5€. very nice old school scent, herbal, bitter and mossy. doesn't last long. their aftershaves are nice too.
>>17943634
it's the iris
>>17943427
eh, their only interesting frag is bull's blood. they're trying to be pop culture too much

>>17942943
As far as ambers go, I haven't found anything. Ambre Russe smells somewhat similar on me, but 1740 is just so much more complex.

>>17943342
>YOU HECKLIN NOSELET MY TASTE IS SUPERIOR 'MOLUCCLE D'ANUS 88 CIVET' IS MUCH BETTER PLEB YOU NEED TO DIE DEATH DEATH

>>17943342
Recommend me Acqua di gio or Fierce, but Ultramale is too sweet.
But agree those Roja, high niche, most expensive oud retards are paypigs beyond salvation.
I sold most my niche, because good designers like Dior or Givenchy have nice smelling scents with good prices.

>>17943342
based I got clowned 2 threads ago by nichetards for my collection (despite having quite a few of the OP/flowchart frags and a few good niche frags)

Came home to this. All blindbuy. Any other recs? The montblanc was cheap and impulse. Probably going to gift it. Love the YSL and Prada. Next on my list in order of interest:

Le male elixir
Dior homme
Tom ford beau de jour
Pour monsieur chanel
Guerlain lhomme ideal extreme
Platinum egoiste

>>17943377
The thought is what counts. Personal touch = love

It seems like normies are already laughing at Sauvage. Is the king gone? Who’s dethroning it?

>>17943711
>normies
fuck them
also just layer with an aventus clone or ultramale clone

>>17943711
>Who’s dethroning it?
Drakkar Noir

Good goy, what is with all the retarded mallcore faggots in the last couple of threads? Is it because of christmas?

>>17943711
I rejected a girl who was flirting with me at a party because she was wearing sauvage. I knew by scent but mockingly asked if it was black opium because she was acting haughty. She thought it was sooo crazy she had it on. She goes “But it was $160!”. I told her “It doesn’t smell like it.”

I think creed aventus is the new sauvage

>>17943726
perfume is becoming more accessible cope seethe shit and shart old man

Just got cdg2, smells great but the longevity and sillage etc is dogshit coming from blamage.
Guess i was spoiled.

>>17943613
Good choice
>>17943711
>pic
How many men has she met that -coincidentally- have the same perfume (in this case, sauvage parfum)?

>>17943711
"normies" are a few select people who are obsessed with this shit and think tom ford is the nichiest niche. girl didn't do shit after that other than getting railed all night because sauvage low key still smells great to her but she can't admit it on social media. none of this shit is real. people don't know shit about fragrances.

>>17943730

>ozonic notes

>>17943377
woah, you are a much cooler sibling than I am

gifting my brother Cool Water lol. I don't know how he'll react to the idea of wearing """cologne""" at all. I'll tell him to spray and see how he likes it, and if he doesn't, I'll keep it and take him to the mall and let him pick.

>>17943764
>solar notes

>>17942954
I just tested it and considered it fruity shit. Guess people who like other fruity shit would like it. Fruity shit ain't for me. /frag/ was absolutely correct with that one.

>>17943114
Amazingly nobody said Boucheron pour Homme yet. Try that one.

>>17943174
She could lose some weight.

>>17943540
Doesn't fucking last. L'Oreal fucked my with that one. Tested it, liked it, bought it, performance was shit but I didn't immediately thought of just sending it the fuck back for being defective. Then L'Oreal did the same thing with regular Spicebomb and I realized the problem is not the fragrance.

>>17943634
Your brain has been washed with ambrox and citrus. Lay off the modern fragrances.

>>17943698
Literal "go to a store" tier. You have a problem, anon. At least send the shit you don't like back.

>>17943776
designer fragrances are good and I'm tired of pretending they aren't

Thoughts on Prada Luna Rossa Black for a 25 year old during winter? I'm deciding between this or Fahrenheit. I think I personally like the stronger or heavier smell of Fahrenheit but I think most people my age will prefer the Luna Rossa Black. Also thinking of blind buying Jules, how does it compare to these?

Give me some masculine frags that don't smell like an old man. i.e beau de jour

>>17943698
Nice YSL pick. That stuff smells good on everyone.

>>17943763
I hate people who like the current thing. So maybe

>>17943776
I promise not to continue blind buying. More expensive stuff I’ll at least get a decant first

>>17943830
I will get the edp next. Anything else you like that also smells good on everyone?

>>17943838
You'd have to post the rest of your collection so we can figure out what the gaps are. I keep shilling D&G Light Blue as a really nice and elegant freshie but not everyone here likes freshies.

Ughhh, Frag bros…

I’ve been going through decants for so long, and buying bottles of the stuff I liked and just shelving them until I was finally done sampling shit…

I finally broke down and opened one to put on while I lay in bed and read, and it’s just so fucking good. I couldn’t stop.

I just cracked 5 unopened bottles and sprayed them on my neck and arms and it’s fucking amazing. I missed this.

I get the pleasure of variety in decants, but coming back to stuff you enjoyed after being away for so long. *Chefs kiss*

>>17943320
They smell very similar to me

>>17943774
>mountain air

I have a confident/forward personality & I don’t work in an office environment so I wear whatever scents I want. I dress preppy (mainly ralph lauren casual shirt and sweaters, cords/chinos, loafers) on dates/casually. I wear workshirts/overshirts, flannel, boots, dickies denim or technical pants at work. I shoot for clean/fresh scent at work. I like what I wear casually more than for work.

Casual: cartier roadster, santos de cartier, pink gucci guilty, chanel antaeus, d&g the one

Work: burberry hero, the blue royall yacht, misc blue & green polos, aqua di gio, green gucci guilty, lacoste eau de lacoste, mont blanc legend

>ur mom's pussy stank

>>17943928
>black diamond

I can't believe this is a fragrance note

>>17943911
Perfect for genuinely hot days without being a boring aquatic. I can wear it to the beach or the office. I wanted a citrus chypre like Eau Sauvage/Pour Monsieur but their price/performance ratio wasn't worth it to me. 1881 isn't a huge performer -- I treat it like an EDC. It doesn't project for long, but it does remain as a skin scent for hours: I could smell it, nose-on-skin, almost 10 hours later.

I've heard good things about Boucheron pH edt/edp too. 1881 is regarded as being very similar, but I'd read that Boucheron was more floral and formal, and wasn't great for truly hot days. Much, much better performance than 1881 by the sounds of it, and more of a real chypre. Def more of an "old man scent".

>>17943950

>>17943821
my recommendation: stop being a sissy

For me, is tabac vert

>ur mom's pussy stank

Lads normal people don't know or care about fragrance. I feel like most people who wear perfume don't even know the name of what they're wearing.shop assistants who work in dedicated perfume sections tell me stuff like (the EDT will smell the same as the EDP, the EDP is just stronger".

I guess It's just interesting how fringe this interest is, especially if you remove those who are interested in perfume solely as a tool to get laid.

SOTD resist me by liaison de parfum
opens up with a blast of citrus notes which are fought by bright and dry imortelle and leather. chamomile gives it a bit of a twist. the sharp wood makes it appear a bit like smoke sometimes. now that's proper niche

So Reflection Man, Prada L'homme and PDM Layton came. PDM Layton is definitely not for me, Prada L'Homme smells like the Intense version but with no leather. Reflection Man is a beautiful smell

>>17942943
Wore it today and a 46 year old woman and a 25 year old one told me that they love how I smell

I expected girls to hate it since it's a deep leathery amber fougere with a rough smoky opening , but they seem to love it as much as I do

I wish I had some original Halston Z-14 but not decades old and spoiled (impossible). I really like this cheap shit from EA but the opening is lemon pledge as hell.

Platinum Egoiste bros, I think we've been defeated

>>17943178
it's a sweet generic scent that lost the sovl of the Gentleman line. The two best versions are Prive and the EdT (yes not meming; crisp fresh pear is incredible.)

>>17944063
You don't look like that

>>17944053
What are the best beaver's asshole smells?

>>17944143
ya

What is the most nostalgic fragrance ever made?

>>17944148
pure fucken castoreum tincture mate. real shit.
>>17944168
for me it's tabac because it reminds me of me gramps

>>17944171
Redpill me on castoreum. Is it good and not disgusting?

>>17944173
it's very good actually. it's somewhat earthy and leathery but it has a certain non-disgusting animalic touch to it. very distinctive.

>>17943649
Weird
I sprayed 2 sprays on a tshirt in another room and let it sit over night so around 8h later i can very much pick it up a couple feet of the shirt

>take a huge humongous shit
>cloggs the toilet
>smells like satan himself graced me with his stinky presence
what perfume do i spray over this literal shit it stinks so mcuh

>>17943778
I'm not denying that, but people often get the wrong designers, somehow. There's some real quality designer shit out there, but usually there is one fragrance which inspires a "genre", and when you find that one, you realize it's the best and everything else is just knockoffs and iterations. It's all about testing (at a store), and you will quickly realize how many fragrances are really similar. The recent releases by anything L'Oreal-related have been composed of the same fucking chemicals in different ratios, for example. Just straight up forgettable trash. I just hope that this trend doesn't continue.

>>17943785
Jules got nothing to do with either. If you're worried about what people your age think, Jules is probably not for you. I always suggest wearing what you enjoy the most, because in the end, it's rarely about the fragrance, but the confidence it inspires.

>>17943821
Have you tried the charts?

>>17943837
Good.

>>17943911
Very based, especially for the price. Boucheron PH is great as well, and you probably also saw Lauder for Men, which is my favorite out of the three. Went through a bottle of Lauder for Men this year, felt great every morning. Despite being EdC conc., it actually outperforms 1881. Also, Lauder for Men is the "rare" spring/fall-rated fragrance, although it's actually the perfect 24/7/365 fragrance for "old man scent" enjoyers.

>>17943950
Ain't that the guy from the Ralph's Club Parfum ads?

>>17944000
Notes are made up and don't matter, anyway.

>>17943730
Haha fucking loser.

>>17944188
Oud Cambodi Intense
Is it just me or is smelling fart and shit somewhat calming?
Like i enjoying the look of feet soles and it's riped cheesy smell, especially on a female because how estrogen make the stinky smell more pleasurable.

>>17944204

Fragrance that smells like sex? Like literal sex (not the gay kind) so don’t recommend Le Male or some shit.

>>17944207
Imo la nuit de l'homme

someone asked me to rate my blind buys in another thread, they came in today and yesterday — I’d like to hear about what you bros are smelling lately too

>Brioni EDP Intense
This is really great if you’re looking for something both masculine and fruity. Apple and citrus meld together to form a semi-sweet and also semi-sour character which is the main body of the scent. Someone on fragrantica described it as a sour apple candy which I partially agree with, but it is made much darker/richer/masculine/likable than that alone would imply since it has a dark woody base. I find it to be fun and pleasing but it won’t be something I wear often.

>Prada Luna Rossa Black
This is really sexual smelling to me. I get a large amount of vanilla/amber but it has some sort of herbal spices which meld into that very well. To be honest I almost find it a bit girly. But I still like smelling it a lot, and it isn’t so girly that I wouldn’t wear it. This is definitely something you put on in the evening. It is cuddly and attractive. Aphrodisiac for any gender.

>Drakkar Noir
Really soapy and clean. Put your nose right on a masculine deodorant and you will have this. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing either. I have smelled this before but never had a bottle myself. Honestly for the price I think everyone ITT should have this. Wearing this is easy and you can be confident in the quality. Most fragrances at this price smell like aquatic ethanol bombs but this is plain smooth and mature.

>Ferragamo Testa Di Moro
This reminds me of sitting in the back of my dad’s car, against the melting hot leather car seats, in the middle of summer going to the pool with my friends. The scent is extremely leather centric and I think it is a more hyper realistic leather than Tom Fords. Extremely happy. I think you have to pair this with a leather jacket. This is powerful and masculine. It will give you a very unique identity if you dress it well. I don’t know how else to describe it.

Ombre leather vs La nuit de l'homme? For cold weather.
I feel like ombre leather is more casual and masculine with the weird leather scent but LNDL I'd imagine makes girls turn their heads around you. Thoughts?

(And no, all the others that I could get my hands on in my city were shit. These two are distinguishable.)

>>17944359

what occasion would you wear it?

>>17944362

>>17944365
Yeah fuck it I'll probably get both, OL for casual use and for myself and LNDL for girls

>>17944318

>>17944367
hell yea

I've sampled many fragrances designer and niche. And every single niche fragrance has this exact same very lovely spicy musk that lingers on the next day. I don't get that at all in designers. The quality difference is noticeable.

>>17944364
Luna Rossa Black I’m going to wear at night time before I have sexo or cuddling. Especially in the colder months. It is sweet and aphrodisiac smelling to me. Unisex too. I wouldn’t really want to smell like this out at lunch, in my college class, or at work.

Smells like toothpaste.

Now that the dust has settled and the hatred slowly faded away, why is it so good?

Any good copies of Tuscan Leather? Smells great but I'm not paying 140 bonks for something I have to reapply midday after 4 sprays in the morning.

It’s definitely a little niche hobby, just being an autist who loves smelling things, tries to pin down how things will mix with skin chemistry, collects weird and wonderful scents and meddles with making some is super nice. My fiancé collects and makes candles for similar reasons, our collections are very comfy, but we may need to Marie Kondo some of it.

Pretty sure he makes it — but he is definitely told to make something in the sweet tropical genre with JPG DNA

he obviously isn’t just freestyling

>>17944517
I’m speaking more to the fact that he has been making hit after hit after hit.

BI, Ganymede, JPG Elixir, are just the first three that comes to mind, but I’m pretty sure he has a ton of other really big (popular) names under his belt as well.

>>17944516
Uh.
K.

What makes it so /fa/?

>>17944521
Bois Imperial and Ganymede do smell like they come from the same guy. I’m not an expert on his though. I like Ganymede. And I actually do like Le Male Elixir just not something I want to wear often. Any ghost writers of his are doing a good job.

I heard he recently made a great leather aquatic for Kenzo.

Today I went to church with my wife and kids. I was wearing Amouage Reflection Man (for the first time this year, because the weather is like spring, 10 degrees Celsius, and I always considered it more of a spring scent). My wife was wearing Mon Guerlain. After the Sunday mass, the priest’s wife came to us to tell us that when we entered, the whole church was filled with a very beautiful scent. We asked her to smell the perfumes and she said it was definetely the Amouage. I think it was the most beautiful compliment I ever had for a perfume.

/fa/, I'm in love with this fragrance, but fuck me it's expensive
I live in a poor eastern european country, and altought I make a nice living, a 100ml bottle of this is still like 8% of my net monthly compensation

am I stupid for entertaining the idea of buying one? I try to justify it to myself like "I'll maybe use only 5 sprays a day, and only when I go to the office, so that's like 3 USD 3 times a week, so "only" 36 USD a month, it's not that bad"

>>17944630
he is good, but nope

>>17944641
if you have to ask, then the answer is probably 'yes, you are.'

>>17944630
he's the reason I got laid so for me he is the GOAT

>>17944630
He created one of the best-selling men's fragrances at 25 and now has one of the most hyped meme frags in BR540, so he's talented for sure, but his own brands frags are pretty boring tbqh. Probably wouldn't want to own any of them.

>>17944641

Leave a frag like that for special occasions only, so one bottle can last you at least a decade.
You can get away with cheaper stuff for the office.

>>17944654
you're not supposed to have a bottle of fragrance for a decade, it will lose its quality

now that its middle of the winter in europistan, shill me some summer frags since they are now much cheaper. already have:

Sadly, the Le Beau series is tainted by some modern synthetic compound (emerged around 2015) that spoils it for me, because it smells bad to me. Other than that, looks pretty standard to me.

>>17944509
It's a combination. Bisch works for Givaudan, who develop new smelly molecules. When they have something, he has to put it into fragrances to sell that shit. Of course, he then composes the rest of the fragrance, so there is a good bit of skill involved, but there is certainly a good bit of industrial control involved as well.

>>17944630
I still prefer Demachy but he is good. Too bad his nose agrees to the modern synthetic compound. He has put it into Amyris Homme (Extrait), for example. Le Male in the original formulation was a masterpiece and it's a shame what's left of it. He made some proper crowdpleasers at his own house, so he's perfect for Dior. Designer fragrances, but with that extra touch that sets them apart, slightly higher priced, but not necessarily masstige niche priced (ignoring the privee line). As others have said, BR540 is among the most copied fragrances, that's how good it is.

>>17944737

>>17944769
That's nice. I'm glad you appreciate our Iconography. The Western rite is also beautiful. You should look more into other aspects of Orthodoxy and how it compares to Catholicism.

>>17943911
Good fragrance. A bit old mannish, but pleasant. Green aromatic, floral, got some of that cassia. Lasts decent too.
Boucherom PH is a bit similar, but even more old mannish and with a heavier base, less fresh.

Oud Minerale is out in the Signature line

What fragrances would you recommend me if my favorite frags are Tam Dao, Musc Ravageur, Eau des Baux?

>>17944450
Is it really that boring? Was considering picking it up.

>>17944776
Depends what you like, scent wise? My favourites from the collection are the Fable candles. I really like the Wander candle, the tomato leaf and blackberry scent is really nice. The Home is nice too, it smells like strong tea and gentle nutmeg.

>>17944841
>>17944776
Oh, and picrel, sorry. A shitload of unrelated stuff comes up when you search for ‘Folk Candle’. https://www.berylune.co.uk/products/folk-scented-candle

I think I may actually be addicted to sampling due to my inability to commit to actually buying a bottle.. I'm searching for my "signature scent", and this search for my "signature scent" is how I justify trying out so much samples.. I just wanna smell really fucking milky and clean musky, really sterile like a dentists waiting room, a dentist waiting room in fucking SPACE.

When I discover something I love, I think..maybe I will find a fragrance that I like even more, so I should buy more samples instead of a bottle. I think why smell the same every day when you could smell completely different every day in the pursuit of finding a signature fragrance that you want to wear every single day.. I don't know what you could call this, postpostmodernism maybe. I'm also ordering samples of shit I've already sampled, gotta sample those samples...

I really want a girlfriend basically for the sole purpose that I need somebody to fucking smell me. I'm going to prank my future GF so hard by smelling really good but I will deny wearing fragrance and I'll gaslight her into thinking that it's just my natural scent.. I need to work out some kind of system where I can hide my samples and I can spray myself without her seeing me...

And now you are probably thinking, holy shit this anon is lost his mind, and yes...you are correct, I basically live to sample fragrances, it's very sad actually, but also kind of beautiful, it's what makes life worth living..

So far my favorite fragrances that I could actually see myself buying a bottle:
-Petite Matin
-Byredo Blanche
-Clean classic skin
-Baccarat Rouge EDP
-ELDO Ghost in the Shell

Thank you for reading my blog.

just what in the fuck is an ozonic note?

>>17944852
Goes up your nose and makes you smell that ‘storms coming’ smell…supposedly.

>>17944852
it's metaphor, not referring to the literal smell of ozone because ozone doesn't have a smell.. It is referring to the fresh "airy" airiness quality that fills up a room without it being heavy or some shit.. kinda like Bois Imperial.. I think

>>17944852

I have to agree with >>17944730
I’m trying to get into the habit of looking at the price of a full bottle of something before I ever get a decant of it. There are just some frags where no matter how good it is, I know I could never bring myself to spend the money on them.

I’m not even bad off, decent pay, very comfortable lifestyle, but there are just too many frags at much lower price points that smell amazing for me to jump through the mental hoops of buying anything like Tom Ford, Creed, or Amouage.

Which four MFK frags should I pick for my sample set?

Are you making a joke, or are you poor and bad at maths?
If (at cheapest I see) euros is 8% of your monthly net, you make like 2500 net. That puts you above the average salary of Spain, France, Finland etc. What the fuck are you talking about? Unless you are experiencing extreme inflation (which - I know), you are making Western European money at Warsaw pact costs of living.

>>17944953
>>17944993
Just kidding, I’m sure you’re a dude.
Depending on if you’re wanting a set just to get a feel for the house, or actively seeking something you’d wear, I think either way you have to go Gentle Fluidity Silver and Masculin Pluriel.
General sampling if you haven’t tried them, BR540 EDP and Extrait are no-brainers (I’d say Grand Soir if you’re an amber/vanilla fan, but I don’t think MFK lets you do that one in the 4-sets.)
Actual wearing maybe add Amyris Homme and one of the Aqua Cologne ones, no experience with that line though desu.

>>17945166
Some Arab clone of that fragrance got a lot of hype this year

>>17945090
BR540 and Grand Soir because they're so hyped, but I can't decide the last two. Masculin Pluriel, Amyris Homme, GFS, or Oud Satin Mood?

>>17945030
Yes, I am making roughly 2500 net.
Yes, I am experiencing extreme inflation - around 20%, I live in the shithole that is known as Hungary.
So overall the situation is not bad, but the cost of using something like Amouage relatively frequently is still significant compared to my salary.
