The Fragrance Groups 101 Chart

The Fragrance Flowchart for beginners

Fellow fragfags, please rate my collection honestly. I know they're probably lame and GAY. The ones I used to have were either blehh or just OK but not worth keeping in my opinion. Don't be too mean or else I'll shrivel up like a nutsack in winter. :)

>>17963757
>Can any of you suggest me a fragrance with a strong eucalyptus note?
Zoologist Koala
Histoires de Parfums 1828
both of them pretty good
check fr*grantica for further suggestions

>>17963758
>Is Ormonde Man an upscale/niche Terre d'Hermes?
maybe the same general style but pretty different imo

>>17963752
>Dior Homme is gay
no, it isn't - Dior Homme Intense is the feminine frag with a prominent iris (lipstick) note

>>17963788
the only frags i know and like from your collection are Sauvage Elixir and H24

>SOTD: Rogue Fougere L’Aube
a niche quality version of GIT/Cool Water, nice
maybe a better fit for spring/summer but also wearable with the current weather in my country (10°C)

>>17963795
I decanted a bit of it before I sold it lemme check.

OK, it's opening is really nice and sweet. Smells like a sweet, creamy blood orange creamsicle. Lots of vanilla. Very airy and fresh considering it's sweetness. I liked it a lot but every time I wore it, when it dried down an hour or so into its life, the patchouli came through and gives it this really dirty earthiness that doesn't mesh well with an otherwise creamsicle-like scent. Also performance was maybe 6/10. Maybe I just went noseblind to it easily.

Sad, because I liked it as a warmer-weather compadre to my Polo Red Extreme which I LOVE.

Oriental Scents are so pleasant :D

But seriously, is Bois Imperial just a meme or should i give it a try? i did like Ganymede a lot

>>17963832
both, it's a meme but you should still test it
order the EP discovery set - it's dirt cheap and you get a coupon for its full price

>>17963797

>Can any of you suggest me a fragrance with a strong eucalyptus note?
I was going to say Body Kouros, but I remembered that its eucalyptus note is dampened by some incense.

>>17963766
what's the most fuckboy frag for summer?

What is your current collection looking like, /fa/?

>>17963832
it has very strong performance and is a good, somewhat unique take on a transparent woody spicy green patchouli fragrance. a bit like if someone tried to make Terre d'Hermes with none of the citrus and different ingredients, but same general idea
definitely worth a try if you like Ganymede. for me it's a bit too linear though, coupled with the strong performance I wouldn't want to wear it daily

if you had to recommend me some niche fragrances based on my picks here, what would they be?

>>17963882
Guerlain vetiver, guerlain heritage, guerlain habit rouge, Caron le3, Caron yatagan

>>17963885
Like the normal one but with some frankincense and amber. A bit smokier too
I prefer it, it's not as starkly minimalist as the EDT and the incense makes me think of a wooden church in the forest
Performance could be better though

>Out of curiosity, why?
Rien by Etat Libre d’Orange (2006) is quite a fragrance, make no mistake about that. Antoine Lie has sought (or been told to seek by ELDO) a successor to the mighty Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent (1981), which in spite of its qualities even in most recently-produced form, isn’t the sex-dripped raunch beast of those initial bottles (for better or worse). Rien seems to reinstate that, going full throttle on incense, leather, animalic musk, cumin funk, and labdanum, divorcing the soapy fougère of Kouros from the rest. In essence, this isn’t so much a copy or continuation of that Pierre Bourdon-penned DNA, it’s an evolution. If you’re not on board with that, turn back now, as there is absolutely no quarter given to the non-believers in this church, evidently. Am I surprised? Not really. Etat Libre d’Orange as it stands, is heavily subversive, dripped in LGBT culture, and ironic, so a scent like Rien is almost a given. Most folks wearing this will probably not get the joke of this scent being called “of nothing” in French.

>>17963949
>>17963956
The opening is brash aldehydes of that old Chanel No. 5 (1921) quality, sour and nose-singing like your grandma’s favorite purse spray. The late Divine could have worn this comfortably. The rest moves into bergamot as expected, with iris ionones and rose in the heart, flavored with pepper and cumin. The funk is noticeable right away, as the leather and animalis notes (not civet) take over immediately, although this is a drier funk than something like Kouros or even Furyo by Bogart (1988). Styrax, patchouli, frankincense, amber, and oakmoss bring up the rear, going full-chypre with labdanum and a woody nuance at the end. Animalics do tone down considerably in late phases, and Rien becomes more of a dry chypre incense experience. Performance is otherworldly, so go easy on the sprays, and this scent profile can even be a little overbearing with light application if worn in the wrong weather, especially high humidity. Do as thou wilt though, but harm none. For me, this reads masculine, although officially Rien is a shared fragrance gender-wise. For me, this is a lovely kick to the face I’d wear anytime, fight me.
>love, the Gay Dragon from Basenotes

>>17963949
>Out of curiosity, why?
don't take it seriously, it was just banter aimed at the gothrock anon
jokes aside, both of them can carry gay associations for some due to their liberal use of leather (Rien) and suede (Tom of Finland) notes (see >>17963956 and >>17963959 for a better explanation)

Which one of you did this

>>17963935
its much more detailed and nuanced. i prefer it over the modern original tho. Its also a little sweeter.

>>17964024
Is it legal to take the testers? They’re not for sale anyway. I don’t think you can get arrested for it. Is oud wood what I’ve been smelling around lately? It reminds me of oud wood intense but it’s different; I’ve never smelled the original oud Wood.

Do y'all do a little mid day spritz, or one in the evening after work? Or do you just spray in the morning and let that last the day?

>>17964024
Pro-tip for you, Anon. Order TF's discovery box. Online shop in my country has it for around 25 bucks. Save yourself the pain of having to go to a store where niggers are allowed to steal. Also; Oud wood is an absolute masterpiece. I picked up the 50ml bottle for around 180 bucks and have no regrets.

Tried many frags, from cheap shit to high end niche, and so far this is the only one I haven't gotten bored of and would wear all year round for every occasion.
What do I do when they inevitably discontinue it in order to roll out their newest batch of clones? Is LV Imagination as good?

>>17964061
Oud Wood is overhyped. I bought a bottle of oud minerale and it’s also overhyped. I like it but don’t understand the hype.

>>17964024
There was a portly gentleman from the UAE I went to college with who loved Snickers candy bars. His father bought him two rolexes during the course of a single semester for good marks. He had every Tom Ford and all of the other UAE oil sheikhs he was friends with who came to study with him did as well.

>>17964001
reckon the sample set is worth it? been eyeing it

I'm not going to pretend I know anything about fragrances, ever since I stopped focusing on bitches I decided to get into hobbies I enjoyed. So this become one. I never knew I'd enjoy smells but it feels fucking fantastic and aesthetic as hell. Here is my list, yes I blind bought all of them, no I don't give a fuck, yes I enjoy all of them and they smell fucking amazing to me.

Recommend your shit.

>>17964090
Guerlain vetiver, Caron le3,

>>17964038
Nah they don’t arrest theft anymore.

>>17964077
The new oud minerale? Can you describe it

>>17963949
>Mmmf that collection tho
What does that mean anon

>>17964107
The old one. It has a gasoline note similar to Fahrenheit, a seaweed note similar to bvlgari aqva, and the Tom ford ‘oud’ note. It’s linear and synthetic. But it smells good and the performance is unreal.

>>17963788
Went so you prefer legend in the edt over the edp? Just curious. Same question with missoni wave vs missoni.

>>17964101
I'll be buying those. Thanks.

>>17964121
Based. Hope you like them. I blind bought all my frags too. Best way to do it. Just find noses and a style you like and go for it. There’s always good deals to be had on the internet. I can also recommend all the Guerlain and Caron classic masculines. Guerlain vetiver, Habit rouge, heritage, Caron pour un homme, caron le3, and I see you already have Caron yatagan.

>>17963949

I’m very confused as to where you pulled that green text from? Did you link to the wrong post?

>>17964108
It’s a compliment, imagine a lip bite emoji.

>>17963832
As already recommended, just get the sample set. If you like any of them, you can get a discount on the full bottle, so the sample set is basically free. If you like none of them, you at least haven't wasted full bottle money. I found it mediocre and it wasn't well received by the more important people around me.

So far I really like the initial scents. Sprayed Us on one wrist, Them on the other and had an hours workout.

>Us
is very smoky from the Cade oil and resin, definitely evokes a comfy close caveman dwelling. It’s a bit peppery and animalic too, little sharp from geranium and whisper of florals, overall really nice.
>Them
is in the same wheelhouse as The Ghost In The Shell, which is fitting as it’s weird and wants to evoke the distant future. Opening is briefly carroty (lol) then it turns into a dry white wine and kinda sharp wood. Really interesting scents.

I’ll try light and dark after my shower.

>>17963875
Is Hacivat worth it ? How does it fare compared to Aventus ?
I bought a sample of Wulong Cha X and it's one of the worst frags I've bought, literally smells like bubble pots

Should I give Eau Sauvage parfum a blind buy? It may be redundant given some of the other frags that I own but I hear it's getting discontinued, and everyone's always yammering about how great it is.
Somewhat unrelated but Zino is in my cart as well for a paltry sum, also a blind buy ;)

Why would you blindbuy stuff you can test at a store?

>>17964241
nothing suggests eau sauvage parfum is being discontinued. where did you get that from?

Bvlgari Man in Black for sale at a local discount place. Worth picking up even if I have Herod and TF Noir Extreme?

>>17964316
Nope, not worth it

>>17964307
The only places near me that stock fragrances don't have it, believe it or not

>>17964315
Mostly because I can't find it in person no matter where I look, though it's very possible that I've gotten it mixed up with some other frag.

Maybe I should be asking a different question. Out of the different frags that I own, a few among them are Grey Vetiver, Pour Un Homme de Caron, Cool Water, Yatagan, Tuscany Per Uomo, Drakkar Noir and Kouros. Is Eau Sauvage parfum similar enough to any of these that it would be redundant to own a bottle?

Does anybody know any actual fragrance that smells even remotely similar to the original Lolita Lempicka Au Masculine formulation that isn't also fucking discontinued or watered down like the newer LL versions?

That shit smelled amazing, it was my signature scent and I got complimented on a daily basis about it. Almost 10-15 years since they fucked it up and I still haven't recovered.

>>17964124
I'll try those out too.

>>17964382
something nuclear, at this point they don't have options, so give them a chance for a cheap compliment. if they go for it, you're basically in. now as for which fragrance, it really doesn't fucking matter. just go properly ham with it.

If given the option to chose only one, which would it be? TdH Eau Tres Fraiche, Eau Givree or Intense Vetiver.

>>17964417
I haven’t tried any but I would probably get the original

>>17964118
Honestly, though Legend EDP smells more “refined” and thicker/fuller, it strips the scent of the EDT’s fruity airiness up front. The EDP smells kind of dull to me. It just smells a bit woodier and less fizzy. Also my bottle of EDP (1.7 oz) was larger than the EDT (1.0 oz) and it was worth it yo get rid of it, meanwhile the EDT was just small enough to fit into my glovebox as an absolute backup scent.

As for Missoni parfum, it was a nice, subtle scent with a citrus/ginger/woody thing going on. Definitely inspired by Bleu de Chanel, but a bit more synthetic smelling. Not bad but I was partially noseblind to it, and it was just kinda redundant with my other blue scents. Missoni wave was just a bit more unique to me as it was a nice creamy summery citrus. Not as sour and thin as Versace Pour Homme and much cheaper than Allure Homme Sport.

>>17964417
I’ve never tried Tres fraiche but I actually like intense vetiver the most. Smells grassy, denser than EDT, but still sharp. Weirdly if i had to ascribe a color to it, in my mind it would be purple for some reason.

I don’t really care for the original all that much, its very dirty orange snd just smells kinda musty. Funny enough, intense vetiver is cleaner smelling imo.

I hate Eau Givree. I want to like it, and sometimes my nose catches that crisp grapefruit atop a lightened up TDH DNA, but most of the time it just comes together to smell like sharp, astringent celery to me.

>>17963766
I just ordered Zino. What am I in for?

>>17964417
Intense Vetiver, no contest

>>17964417
Personally I prefer the original EdT, and Eau Givree smells the closest to the original to me, so Eau Givree.

What's your oldest stored frag that hasn't gone stale?

I want to repulse everyone around me and smell like absolute ass-cheeks. What frag should I buy?

I was quite disappointed with Eau Sauvage Parfum. it's too sweet and heavy and ends up smelling like dusty lemon candy to me, a bit like the opening of Habit Rouge but worse and more long-lasting
smells almost nothing like the original EDT to me. and something like Terre d'Hermes does the whole "modernised resinous citrus barbershop" thing much better

if you want some cheap blind buy ideas, you could get Cerruti 1881 (in a similar genre to Eau Sauvage EDT, more in your face green with better performance) or Lalique Pour Homme (I prefer this to Zino for sandalwood-heavy cheapies

Will note that I'm in Australia and it can be copped at like 30-50% off at Sephora if you're patient, so I didn't pay retail, but I don't think it's bad value even at rrp

Thought Luca Turin was a bit harsh giving it 2 stars as a "pointless sub-Cool Water thing"

>>17964913
Amouage Silver Oud
Tauer L'Oud

I find both unwearable fwiw, my boy FK knows what he's doing

>>17964913
I hate Oud, as a westerner my type of woods are cedar and pine.

>>17965361
It's pretty good with bi women. In fact, you can even use it to test them; if they like it, they like girls too (and you smell like one).

Whats a good misterious sexy scent

>>17963766
For the anon who wanted to know last thread, these are my thoughts on the Neanderthal sample box.

>Us
Super smoky, very dominant, aromatic. Spices and just a hint of damp florals, very ‘Caveman’ without going too far into Prin territory and probably the most interesting one. Sticks around a long time, around 6+ hours. Good sillage.

>Them
Weird and reminds me of The Ghost in the Shell from EDLO (which I love/hate but often can’t stop smelling), starts really vegetabley and clean then dries down to a white wine and skin scent. Lasted about 3-4 hours. Okay sillage.

>Dark
Semisweet pepper and berries, then resin. Slightly fruity but kinda dry. Aromatic, nice creamy leather. 6+ hour wear, good sillage.

>Light
Bright and sharp/sweet, green and damp wood, maybe the ambergris is making it smell a bit humid. Leather from Neanderthal house seems to be a nice creamy scent. Very good sillage. 5 hour wear.

Not sure I’ll buy a full bottle, but if I had to choose probably Dark or Us. I feel like I can smell a white wine element in a lot of them, if you know how that normally smells.

1) is this any good?
2) does it work as a poorfag alt to jpg le beau?

>>17965445

It’s a nice aquatic cheapie though, you can’t really go wrong.

>Baby’s first cologne
Surely that's og cool water?

>>17965386
I’m a Guerlain shill yet I don’t like that line. It smells modern and expensive. Like most ‘oud’ frags it smells like norlimbanol. Reminded me of aqua di Parma oud

>>17965454
It’s not for you so you’re not allowed to read it

>>17965457
Got it, thanks. The L'Homme line is excellent, and I was hoping the orientals would be great too. Shame. What I've smelled from the Art and Material line is excellent too. I need to get Bois d' Armenie. I can huff it all day.

>>17965445
it's a great (not excellent) soft coconut version of cool water. Very easy to wear nearly anywhere.

>>17965465
You might like it. I also wasn’t a huge fan of the lhomme line. The art and material line is fantastic. I just can’t justify the price when I can get similar enjoyment out of their less expensive lines. The one expensive perfume I have from them is le parfum du 68. I found it cheap on eBay and it’s excellent. Just not sure it is worth the retail price. If you say you want an oriental why not consider Guerlain habit rouge or shalimar? These are the fragrances which helped make them famous and were created by expert noses working for their family legacy.

>>17965405
all women are a little bi. so it makes sense that Dior Homme is peak sexy to them
last gf was bi and really liked DHP on me, while disliking TdH and H24

Any recommendations for a musky masculine frag?

>>17965491
I still like A&F Fierce. I like it's sharpness up top but also muskiness underneath. Might smell a bit cheap or so but I like it and I didn't even consciously grow up around it. I also tried a sample of Bond No. 9 FiDi which is a thick, peppery musk. I wasn't a huge fan of it but that might be a bit more what you're looking for?

Keep in mind, these are both "clean" musks, not dirty animalic musks like Kouros and similar. If that's what your looking for, sorry brah I got no good recommendations.

I just bought 200mls of the discontinued infusion dhomme. I blind bought it because the price was too good to pass on it

Any opinions on it?

>>17965183
Zoomettes like sweet/gourmand fragrances (e.g. JPG Le Male Parfum, SWY Intensely, MM Jazz Club). They prefer designer frags in my experience, no stinky arab or high-end niche. If you are young yourself, avoid frags shilled on /fa/ like Drakkar Noir or NYI. Oakmoss won’t help you get laid anon, fragrances she wants to lick off of you will

>>17965361
DHI smells fucking good anon. Wear it anyway, every straight man in /frag/ eats cum and gets fucked in the ass anyway

>>17964806
Appreciate the detailed response, anon. You may be pleased to know that I fought the urge to consoom.
I already have a bottle of Lalique lion; is Zino really all that similar? The Lalique isn't a bad scent necessarily, but I have to work past the opening (which is a photorealistic image of my grandmother's house, bottled), and even past that, the vanilla is a little too sweet for me.

If you think demachy's lifetime body of work > kurkdjian's, congratulations. You are a fag

>>17964187

Frankie Kurks is a fag, and you'd suck him off.

>>17964884
NTA, but they’re definitely worth trying imo.
Personally I wasn’t a big fan of PRM, too much moss and not enough Pacific, but I’m a big fan of Bohemian Lime, and an even bigger shill for Desert Rosewood.

>>17965398
Just purchased his entire discovery set a day or two ago, I’m sure there’s gonna be a lot of redundancy in there, but I’m still looking forward to it.
I’m also pretty interested in trying non-IFRA approved perfumery, supposedly including actual ambergris and beaver ass in a few of his frags.

>>17965558
Hahahahaha
>>17965577
Nice dubs.

>>17965577
Low effort poogene. All of dior's current offerings are trash

What is Frag’s opinion on gourmand fragrances?
I’ve been thinking about picking up Vanille Havane, but the price point is so high.

ENTER the ultimate pheromone

>>17965632
I love coffee notes in fragrances so much, as long as it's sweet and not thrown into an otherwise-aromatic scent like some of the Alien Man flankers. I really Love Polo Red Extreme and Maison Margiela Coffee Break. I also love vanilla if it's a vanilla-forward scent without too much dirty earthiness underneath. Not a fan of things that smell like specific foods though, like Bond No. 9's "New Bond St.". It smelled like a bowl of cocoa pebbles if you left the bowl out in the dirt.

>>17965632
>>17965659
Oh and also Angel's Share by Kilian smells obnoxious, as well as any others that smells like a cinnamon roll or another other specific baked good.

Has anyone captured that smell of a freshly washed cock air drying on a clean bedsheet

Versace Oud Noir smells fucking great, is it true they discontinued it?

>>17965632
disgusting
>>17965659

>>17965632
Good, depending. I like the ones that smell like baked goods.

SOTD Dior Homme Intense. As always.

>>17965164
Sauvage, not Eau Sauvage. Whether or not you go for the EdP, EdT or Parfum version. Alternatively Eros.

>>17965361
It's because you radiate gay energy.

>>17965416
Dior Homme Intense.

>>17965445
Rather sweet and has nothing to do with the original. The performance is great, the smell is acceptable if you like sweet smells. It has nothing to do with Le Beau, although it claims a coconut note, but I can't really smell one in it. It's closest to Laura Biagotti Roma Uomo from the same perfumer.

>>17965683
Guerlain Vetiver.

>>17965183
Spend $60 and get dolce & gabbana the one. Shave your face and wear that & you’re 70% of the way there

Zara 9.0 from 2015, still smells fine.

I can't wait for summer to use the fuck out of my acqua di gio (i'm a newfag)

Do you guys think I should get Profondo? My only complaint with the original is projection (and mostly) longevity

>>17963766
>>>/fit/

>spray Axe can smell the scent myself, good long lasting projection

>spray Perfume, cant smell shit

Why?

>>17965831
I used to have Perry ellis 360 red or whatever it was called back in like be 2010. Didn't think much of it and forgot all about it. Tried profomo a year or two ago and instantly brought back memories and smelled exactly as I remembered 360 red smelling. I'm sure there are differences if you compare them but overall I was underwhelmed. Not sure why the adg line gets hyped so much.

>>17965818
bro please just go to a store and smell stuff. it's literally the smallest amount of effort.
>>17965831
you should go to a store and smell stuff.
>>17965860
vaccinated?

>>17965831
Acqua di Gio is pretty nice, and always brings a smile to my face. While Profumo was a loyal flanker to the original, Profondo smells very similar to Acqua di Gio EDP. Profondo's very aromatic, green, kinda sea-salty. To me, it's not even really like the OG. It doesn't have that sparkling citrus or that really floral undertone. I tried a couple decants of it AND bought a full bottle before I realized I didn't actually love it, I was just trying to fit in with everyone else raving about it.

Also, like the other anon said, sample things if you can. Whether it's in-store or ordering decants/sample vials. Helps reduce unwanted blind-buys and regrets.

I neglected my physical and mental health so much these past couple of weeks that I don’t even feel like I’m worthy of wearing perfume. Any frags for this feel?

Don't know about Aventus since I don't care for Creed and their marketing. I really like it though, very delicious pineapple opening that settles into an oakmoss heavy base. It lasts 10+ hours, though the last 4 hours it's more of a skin scent.

>>17965183
anything their dads wore

What is the most NPC fragrance ever made?

>>17966139
I'm not super well-versed into the history of fragrance, so my answer lies very solely on modern trends:

Dior Sauvage and Versace Eros. They're not even bad, I like them both decently. But they're both picked because of the marketing and/or packaging. Everyone "knows" of them so now I MUST GET THEM. Walk into a Sephora to test some fragrances and you'll have 3 people asking for Sauvage while you're there.

OH! And Bleu de Chanel for the very same reason. Because everyone knows about Bleu de Chanel so now I GOTTA GET BLEU DE CHANEL.

>>17966139
Prob Sauvage, it smells great, is mass appealing, readily available, marketed by a recognizable face… etc. etc.
>mfw when that doesn’t mean it’s bad.
>mfw I’m gonna go put on some elixir right now

>>17965655
I'm more of an armpit guy myself

Just noticed on Fragrantica Frederic Malle is releasing a new frag “Synthetic Nature”. Comments section is speculating something got banned by IFRA in the old “Synthetic Jungle” version.

When this happens, do people ever try and buy up old bottles? Is Synthetic Jungle worth anything now? And even though I’m sure it’s bullshit, does anyone actually worry that ‘zomg, Synthetic Jungle is POISION! I can’t wear it!’

I already have Halloween Man X. Love it. If I wanted something else should I get

Mercedes-Benz Club Black
Bvlgari Man In Black
Polo Red Extreme

I went to the mall with my gf, let her smell some expensive colognes and she scowled.
I own two cheapo colognes. She hates the By the Fireplace rep and she tolerated a sex cologne rep.

She prefers the shampoo and laundry detergent smell.

Do not get cologne for women

Fellas, I think I've had a bizarre epiphany. Got into frags about 2 years ago after smelling Y edp. Blew my fuckin mind. Fairly rapidly got an slew of others, LNDL, Eau Sauvage, a bunch of cheap stuff like quorum and grey flannel, and a few more expensive gems. But the other day, I went back to the Y and I found it cloying, base, and gauche. I'm realizing that I could pare down everything I've got to two favorites that stand far above the rest: Platinum Egoiste and Yatagan. And I'm also realizing that each of these fill a warm and cold weather niche, separately. Am I done? Have I reached the end of the line? Are these my signatures and should I be done with all others going forward?

I hate the fucking cliche sentence :

If you are not confident this fragrance will wear you instead of the other way around!!!

Fuck you if you ever used it, faggot retard

>>17963766
As a fragrance newfag, what should I expect? What makes this popular? It smells like cologne.

>>17966217
Polo Red Extreme is AMAZING. HOWEVER, it's very similar to Halloween Man X from what I remember (been a while since I smelled Halloween Man X). Too similar to own both in my opinion.

Bvlgari Man In Black is basically Spicebomb + a little leather note that gives it some thickness.

Never tried the Mercedes-Benz Black.

>>17966256
>It smells like cologne.
this is the answer to your question

SOTD Dior Homme Intense

>>17965950
Guess I got under someones skin.

>>17966139
At this point, I must say Lattafa Khamrah. Sauvage, Aventus and all the clones, Acqua dio Gio and flankers, it's over for them. The people who would reapply 40 sprays just to buy cigarettes now apply a clone of a unisex masstige gourmand. It might just be its ridiculous strength, but during this winter, that stuff was prevalent in this city. It also has all peak NPC stuff going for it. A clone of a faux-niche fragrance, gaudy presentation that appeals to people who enjoy the faux-luxury, easy access due to cheap price, shilled by a variety of outlets, but not Jeremy, so the buyers think they "found" something good there.

>>17966219
Yes. And with Chanel and Caron, you have even found two of the best houses for fragrances there are. The former is a family business with an in-house perfumer, that started with fragrances and sells them to this day, the latter is basically a niche brand, although its ownership changed hands a few times, they are still exclusively focused on fragrances.

>Tauer L'Oud
I think I'm gonna order this one blindly, I am seeing it's a linear scent but that's fine. I'm looking for the real scent of oud and this looks like exactly what I want.

Best smell to attract Slavic/MENA chicks?

>>17966344
Yea we’re tired of your tranny and bbc posting and your low iq takes/blog posts.

Why are all of these so fucking sweet?

>>17966398
No it's not the real scent of oud. In fact, there is not a "real" scent of oud, because it varies a lot from region to region, Indian, laosian, and Thai oud, to name three, are really different from each other.

If you really want to experience oud in all its glory, prepare to pay a lot of money, because real oud is expensive.

That said, I tried tauers l,oud, and for me it's completely unwearable and smells like a swamp. And I love oud


Tauer has amazing masterpieces and also the most garbage fragrances you can imagine. Don't idealise tauer just because you like lddm

All pineward I tried were too dirty/geosmine heavy on my nose, lets see how are the samples .

>>17966539
Ohhh just 600! That’s fine then. I was seriously wondering what the fuck you could even buy and enjoy for that amount lel. I’ll be ordering a bunch of pineward samples next month once I’m through my backlog, annoying to have to pay import taxes though. Only sampled one before that was heavy on mushroom, really nice and damp smell.

Any Ausfag recommendations for stores that I can go test scents?

on an unrelated note:

i have no clue why this is kept under the radar (only sold on the Nicolai website and in her boutiques), it's a masterful composition which (at least to my nose) smells incredibly fresh and natural, office friendly, can be worn around the year, performance is good, one of my favorites from PdN

>>17966562
>that's a good selection desu
>are you sure you will still receive numbers for the order? i think the promotion ended on the 30th of December

If that's the case then it's alright also, I had one from when I ordered a bunch of samples back in December, but I think it the number was thirty something

How does vintage kouros smell like , just copped a bottle

Spending so much money in a stupid liquid with alcohol and some smell is peak capitalist retardation. Just buy one that makes you smell well that is not that expensive and nobody will care if you are using one that costs 100$ or one that costs 30$.

There is a reason for why the commercials for these fragrances are the most ridiculous and capitalist commercials there are always using some famous actor/actress and some stupid superficial message like "fame, power, free". The cringiest commercials there are.

Just ordered some cheap vintage perfume that was worn by a female singer who died 10 years before I was born that I'm in love with just so I can smell it. What? No I'm not mentally ill.

no, the accompanying image is supposed to convey that it was a review copied from him.

they're not massively similar or redundant, just vaguely the same genre
Zino is more similar to Heritage or Beau de Jour
it has way more patchouli than Lalique PH, lots of rose and rosewood in place of iris and all that jazz. it comes off as less formal than the Lalique to me, a bit more fun, also dirtier. both are worth owning, even if I prefer the more classy, soapy charm of the Lalique

I do like monster duration and projection fragrances, but sometimes I just want to wear shorter-lasting shit in order to wear as many different frags in one day as possible. Anyone like this? Any strats to get frags off quick so you can reapply something else?

Acetone/nail polish remover on a cotton pad.

>>17966913
how's azzaro visit, any good? i heard performance is abysmal

What is the best Rogue winter fragrance?

>>17966963

Derviche. Warm Tobacco/Vanilla I actually like it more than a lot of other fragrances of a similar style.

>>17966888
Not that anon, but mousse illuminee

Anybody tried Scents of Wood? Sound good, I like the bottles and ideas but there aren’t many samples available in Bongland.

New thread!
>>17967000
Digits confirm it'll be a good one!

>>17966873
I might already be that guy, but the blurb on the box isnt as interesting as the actual advertisment for it. (Posting the link again like im shilling this) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OALIUJ-yie0

Another random ass house created to cash in on the insane margins of fragrances.
Check the perfumers, they are basically all employed by IFF. I wouldn't trust that brand at all.

LMAO get the fuck out of here.

What to wear if I want everyone around me to know I'm better than them?

Bleu de Chanel is NPC: the fragrance
it's well-composed and using decent ingredients, but it tried and succeeded in being the "default designer fragrance". it does smell good, but if you want to explore, you can go a lot deeper

>>17966403
can confirm, Bois Imperial is all the rage in Warsaw. itąs become the local equivalent of BR540 or Aventus

>>17965386
Bois Mysterieux opens with a big cumin smell, which means it smells like B.O. but I'm never afraid to wear it heavy in public because the worst of it dissipates quickly and stays close to the skin. what comes after is a squishy, robust sweeter smell
the cumin is so brash, but then it goes the opposite way and is one of the most blissful smells I've got.

is Boss Bottled effay in 2024?

>>17966997
I have tried a few of them, and the only good one I know is Ceder in Acacia (which is surprisingly good). The rest have noticeable flaws
>Oak in Oak
Vinegar-like note up top that makes it unpalatable
>Praline in Maple
has a weird rotting smell; I was expecting a smooth sweetness
>Vanilla in Armagnac
Thinly vanilla + cocao with questionable performance (2-3 hrs) although i may have just applied too little.
