Damn this thing smells good

The great debate

>Dyptyque Tempo.

>>17975098
Nooope. it's the substance from this little, yellow, wrinkly gland that looks almost similar to chicken-skin

> Picrel
It's from a tv show I watched, where a hunter and a cook went hunting for a beaver, and one of them had the bright idea to make a castoreum-schnapps by adding the whole thing into the bottle and letting it macerate

Post the Ultra Male pasta

>>17975079
Rate my nose I’m gonna add aqua di gio

>>17975079
Has anybody tried pic related? (armani diamonds black carat for him)

>>17975243
Let me take you on a journey, friend. You’re on vacation in San Francisco, you return to your hotel but have forgotten your room number. You walk into the room of another guest by mistake. Immediately upon entering, you notice that a bunch of sweaty men are fucking on a bed shaped like a giant martini glass covered with sequins. YMCA is playing on a loop on the room’s sound system, a disco ball hangs from the ceiling, a large TV displays episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Jeremy Fragrance is sitting on a chair in the corner sipping a shirley temple.

Ultra Male is gayer than that room.

>>17975263
What makes Ultra Male gay? The smell or the bottle?

>>17975271
yes

>>17975245
spending your money on boring frags / 10

>>17975263
>Jeremy Fragrance
It was John Waters in the original version.

>>17975307
why are they boring? they smell great
>t. newfag

>>17975315
They're fine. They're just extremely common, very safe buys.

>>17975273
Both?

>>17975271
Both. I'd say 50% smell; 50% bottle

>>17975319
Yea, these are my initial three frags. I chose them based on their high ratings and smell

>>17975315
if you enjoy them thats great, but classic acqua di gio is utterly castrated novadays, allure home sport fits the same occasions that acqua di gio would but is an even more castrated fragrance.
Eros is sweet, youthful and overplayed since it has a history of being babies first "clubbing" scent, i.e 15 year old gets his first fragrance, and tries to go clubbing absolutely drenched in eros, but maybe it's less popular now, and the edp version is not as loud.
The one edt is so fucking watered down, genuinly praise God if it lasts more than 4 hours on your skin, it's considered a "date night" fragrance but it just doesn't perform, no projection, no lasting power, and it frankly smells boring, smudge of tobacco with a hint of amber.

>>17975332
Sure. There's nothing wrong with that, either. Everyone starts out with safe, basic fragrances.
It appears as if you're ticking boxes.
>Hot weather, warm weather, cool weather, date night, etc

Eventually, you'll either decide you have enough or start expanding out into more esoteric scents.

>>17975345
Can you drop few frag recommendation?
I’m 22 btw so something youthful would be good

>>17975356
What are you looking for? A casual fragrance? Something for the office? A deep, rich wintertime fragrance?

>>17975364
I want sexy fragrance better option the one

>>17975369
Also something for summer since I cant buy now

>>17975369
TF Noir de Noir is a great date night fragrance but depending on your style, might come off as a little old fashioned. Girls love it, though. Something like CH Bad Boy is a little more youthful. (Corny bottle, though)

These two smell nothing alike but serve a similar purpose, I think.

>>17975376
Thanks

>>17975108
Bvlgari Black is 300 bucks? Where?
I've had this thing sitting in my closet for years

>>17975371
For summer, I like Caron Yuzu Man as a daily go-to. It's citrusy but not sweet. You cannot overspray it either.
Penhaligon Juniper Sling is nice too. A little more pine/juniper. It smells like a gin & tonic.

Rogue bros, what are your favorite Rogue frags? Lately mine has been Targhee Forest and Tabac Vert.

I want to smell like freshly picked flowers can you guys recommend me something under 100$?
So far I've tried Vancleef & Arpels Rose Rouge but it's a bit heavy and cloying for me, I've also tried Diptyque Eau Rose which I can get behind but I'm open to more suggestions.
I also like Lazy Sunday Morning from Maison Margiela but it's a tad bit expensive.

I already have Terre D'Hermes which I absolutely love.

>>17975345
>Eros is sweet, youthful and overplayed since it has a history of being babies first "clubbing" scent, i.e 15 year old gets his first fragrance, and tries to go clubbing absolutely drenched in eros, but maybe it's less popular now, and the edp version is not as loud.

Every fuckboy in my country wears Eros, it's honestly sad that it's become the fuckboy frag starter pack, along with Dior Sauvage.

>>17975245
versace eros was not that good for me

>>17975356
sure.
I will pick stuff that I would chose if I were just starting now and a few wildcards:
Bois Impérial Essential Parfums, very unique take on woods with vetiver, it's quite bitter and dry would be my choice for spring / summer, I would categorize it as a work horse for everyday wear, a modern classic.
Etruscan Water Francesca Bianchi, fragrance with a ton of depth and complexity, herbs and oakmoss with a base of musks, labdanum and a tinge of salt from the ambergris. Spring / summer / autumn, very masculine can be more challenging for some due to animalic undertones, perfect for summer nights.
Jazz Club Maison Martin Margiela, very light tobacco smells like unblended golden virginia, sweet boozy undertones with some woody accents, the scent doesn't really evolve, but it's VERY pleasant and cozy, quite popular with zoomers into fashion, others might prefer By the fire place from the same house, both have similiar concept of a "cozy winter scent" by the firce place has a lot more edge though and seems to be more polarizing.
Black Orchid Tom Ford, dark and rich, a wall of compressed flowers layered with honey and dark cocoa, has real depth to it, incredibly unique and heavy, winter and autumn.
Gentleman Eau de Parfum Reserve Privée Givenchy, iris and booze, airy and powdery, a good fragrance to test if you enjoy iris perfumes, a great choice for spring, autumn and winter.
Le Male Le Parfum Jean Paul Gaultier, a classis - lavender, cardamon and vanilla, has some depth, has some sweetness, tried and true people pleaser for colder months.
Dior Homme Parfum, iris, leather and sandalwood A LOT of depth to it, incredible for dates in the colder months if you enjoy iris.
Eau Duelle Eau de Parfum Diptyque, dry and woody vanilla with red pepper, has a lot of depth to it, very unique. If you like vanilla, and are looking for something versatile, its worth checking out.
Vanagloria Laboratorio Olfattivo, green and smokey vanilla, fit for colder months.

SOTD Avon Occur

on places where you can sell fragrances, obviously. it's out of production.

>>17975079
Dior Homme is the BEST frag for men. So sad how pathetic little chuds can't handle this simple fact.

Literally the best smelling fragrance of all time

Jesus fucking christ r/fragranceswap is so fucking retarded, fuck reddit and fuck all the cocksuckers who use that shithole
Anyway is anyone interested in a 3/4 full TF Noir extreme parfum bottle and a half-full DHI? EU only, shipping elsewhere is a hassle
110€ for TF and 40 for DHI seem reasonable, you'll haggle anyway

>>17975465
by the way no box for TF, box included for DHI, if that matters. Both bought in France

>>17975451
Too bad it gets weaker and weaker with each successive reformulation. It's barely aftershave-strength now.

>>17975345
I never got how Eros became a clubbing fragrance. It seems way too sweet for that kind of environment. I'd expect clubbing to have sharper, more citrusy scents like Sauvage

>>17975451
>lasts 45 minutes

>>17975480
>>17975495
What did you not understand about the best "smell"? Give me one, just one that smells better.
Pro tip: You can't.

The Drakkar Noir, Dior Fahrenheit guy better not reply

>>17975500
>What did you not understand about the best "smell"?
I wasn't disagreeing with you, halfwit. I was lamenting its poor performance.

>>17975094
What's it like?

>>17975509
It's an old style 70s/80s chypre. Think Caron Yatagan or Ralph Lauren Polo. Pine, wormwood, leather, oakmoss.

Just blind bought you or someone like you and ghost in the shell. How fucked am I?

>>17975516
you are in for a screechy yuzu with sweaty milk and a decent mint - fresh rose fragrance

>>17975500

I did not care for Dior Homme Intense

>>17975500
so easy

Anyone try jubilation 40 yet? Was thinking of picking up a decant but at $50/5ml I'd rather get /frag/'s opinion first.

>>17975090
Large, but oddly not extensive (at least as far as complete discovery sets are concerned). Not an insult, enjoy your sampling!

>>17975096
I never hear anyone talk about Hyrax on here, and frankly prob wouldn’t even know it exists if Zoologist didn’t have a frag named after it.
How would you describe Civet, and how would you describe Hyrax?
This question coming from someone who doesn’t care for animalics, and didn’t even realize that musk is apparently a… like, light creamy, powdery kind of scent(?). Getting that from Musc Ravageur, the only thing I think I’ve smelled with it in there as a large chunk of the notes.

>>17975098
As the other Anons have said, no, but you can’t really be blamed imo. When most people think of strong animal scents they think of cats marking their territory.

>>17975108
Unlike the (few) idiots claiming the pic guides are trash, this is my one big complaint about them, when one of the main 10 is discontinued, it does kind of need an update. Especially when it’s (imo) easily the most eye catching bottle near the center.

>>17975271
I can’t speak for the smell, but the bottle obviously, and more so is the nose behind it - and thus also the homosexual community that bought it because of the nose. It’s why I’m resistant to buying anything JPG.

>>17975397
Easily Mousse Illuminee, Bon Monsieur was good but MI evolved a little better for me, and lasted a touch longer as well.
I want to try Targhee Forest and just haven’t bothered to get a sample yet.

>>17975408
If you’re a newbie and you skipped this because TL;DR, go back and read it. It’s why you’re here.

>>17975500
Scent without performance is a waste.

>>17975516
GitS is great, light floral kind of milky scent, leans feminine but not unwearably so, if you’re worried about those kind of things.
For me YoSLY is mint and chlorophyll, and while I thoroughly love mint in frags, chlorophyll is just not a pleasant scent to me.
I had one anon suggest trying it again in the spring/summer, which I will give it a fair chance and do so, but I don’t think it will make a difference.

>>17975451
Smells like a Johnson & Johnson product for babies.

>Bois…
>I’m ready to smell like a tree

>>17975617

>>17975527
Valentino Uomo Intense Chads rise UP. I like the vanillic take on the lipsticky iris more than DHI’s chocolately take. Uomo Intense is just so thick, comforting and sweet for a cold day.

>>17975621
Shirt stainer sample pack

>>17975651
lol, shirt? Try skin. Even the pale yellowish ones leave a visible splotch where you spray.
I just won’t be spraying my shirts, non-issue.

>>17975516
Imagine withdrawing from the EU, so that you can get rid of EU immigrants and replace them with Third Worlders mainly from Africa and the Middle East. Third World immigration has skyrocketed since Brexit.

>>17975608
>I want to try Targhee Forest and just haven’t bothered to get a sample yet.
Order the discovery set. It's good value.

>>17975617
I was considering dropping some money on this set. Let me know which ones you liked

>>17975617
Can you get this sample set in the EU?

what do we think of kerosene?

how bad is its longevity really?

>>17975706
i'm retarded and didn't include pic

Give me the rundown cologne

>>17975667
Yeah, that’s what I’ll probably do. I want to pick up the Zoologist discovery set as well, but first I gotta finish getting through Pineward, which is gonna take me some time.

>>17975668
So far I’ve only tried… 4-5? and only paid close attention to the opening, 15-30 min.
Been meaning to pick up a sweet gourmand, so the fact he sent me 2 Gingerbread samples seemed like a sign and I sampled it first, and it’s exactly what you’d think.
Buttery, pleasantly sweet smell like you just walked into a pastry shop.
Tried the coffee tabac next since it’s unreleased, neither of which are my forte btw.
The opening was unpleasant and strong, couldn’t quite place it, perhaps tobacco but not sure. After a couple minutes it calmed down and mixed together well. I’m bad at placing notes if I don’t know what I’m looking for but I did find myself drawn back to it and always enjoyed it.
I tried… Bindebole? next I think, and the sprayer wasn’t working well. Finally got some out but don’t recall the smell.
I’m normally pretty opposed to fruity scents but I tried the Glühwein next and it was fantastic. The raspberry came straight through and was perfect. Nice sweet fruity smell.
Last was Hayride, photorealistic smell of walking into a clean hay barn. You could tell in the background there was some sweetness, but it was still faint in the opening with the hay taking center stage. Perhaps in the heart or dry down.

>>17975671
I’m in the US so I can’t comment, but I believe so yes. Check out his website, it’s all on there. Section specifically dedicated to international shipping.

>>17975673
Would love to try some of their frags but also never put the work into sourcing the samples.

>>17975706
>>17975708
Been a while since I sampled it, but slightly longer than the EdT, but not by much. Skinscent around 5-6 hours I think?

>>17975708
The parfum lasts forever. The edt is kinda weak but the parfum at least on my skin is a 10-12 hour minimum

>>17975617
>>17975621

Current (still VERY unfinished) thoughts on Pineward as a whole, I’m getting a cross between a Rogue Perfumery little brother vibe and old timer making moonshine in the hills ‘ye olden way like his grandpappy showed him vibe.
He wants to make frags, make them natural, and they’re good, but they don’t have the polish and sophistication of designer houses, or most good niche houses. That could also just be the nature of
>theyre frags to smell like fucking trees
so take that with a grain of salt.
He’s definitely a bit of an amateur, but by no means “donkey piss and geraniums in a spray bottle” amateur. And I may have just gotten unlucky, but the fact that one of my first 5 samples had a serious issue with the sprayer is concerning, so wish he’d get some better atomizers.

I’m pretty sure I’m gonna like several, if not a lot of his frags, and I’ll buy -at least- one both out of pure enjoyment of the frag, but also to support him as a businessman and see it grow and thrive.

>>17975606
>How would you describe Civet, and how would you describe Hyrax?
nta but the reason you don't see hyraceum (that's the material, hyrax is the animal) often is because it's a bit poopy. and zoologist fragrances aren't proper representations, they're abstract.
i'm most familiar with natural castoreum. it's an earthy, warm-leathery smell with a very distinct animal note to it. civet is a bit more pungent/pissy. la via del profumo sells tinctures of all three.
>light creamy, powdery kind of scent
that's synthetic white musk, fake and gay because we can't have shit these days
>>17975621
nice, i hope you're black though

It's so fucking good bros. A scent that works on a fancy date or a day at work. Literally all you need.

>>17975708
The EdT is better and has decent longevity as well. I can smell it on my skin the next day.

>>17975740
fuggg

>>17975737
Appreciate the breakdown, would definitely pass on the Hyraceum and Civet… aceum… but castoreum sounds pleasant. Think there’s some in one of the Pinewards.
And yes, I figured as much for Zoologist, but I’ll give them props for good presentation.

>nice, i hope you're black though
Kek. I’m assuming since they’re so ‘colorful’?

>discovery set
>3 samples
why even bother?

>>17975754
Some brands do that, where the number of frags is small, but larger volume 5-10 mLs. I agree with you, but it’s a thing.

opinions on Paragon Initio?

>>17975400
try Cartier Declaration D'un Soir if you can find it. nice fresh rose fragrance

>>17975782
I like it. the plum and bergamot together kind of reminds me of kiwi in a way, and the wood is very smooth. When I sampled at the store, the longevity seemed to be lacking, but desu I might've just gotten anosmic because I had sampled a bunch of stuff that day.

Bottle is also durable. I dropped the sumbitch the second it came out of that stupid plateau-box, and because the bottle is made of cement, it luckily didn't break.

>>17975814
thanks anon

>>17975516
Bitter yuzu but also kinda milky, dries down to something intimate weird and skin like.

>>17975796
you can get that at a mall so no, hard pass bro

>>17975837
Any suggestions for sour fresh scents? I dig Costa Azzurra Parfum drydown. Smells like some lavender heavy aftershave scents of yesteryears, but can't put my finger on a specific one. Smells familiar.

>>17975397
Fougere L’Aube is the only one I've liked so far

>>17975886
Bon Monsieur is the king of Rogue

>>17975890
I didn't want to say BM, MI, or CS.

t. >>17975397

>>17975890
I had high hopes for it but it doesn't smell any better than the run of the mill alternatives.

>>17975865
The only one I’ve smelled recently that reminded me of GiTS in that sourness is Neanderthal Them, had the same sour citrus top of Grapefruit and Lavender and evened out into a dry musk/woodsy skin scent.

>>17975912
Terrific, thank you for your insight. Will sample them.

>>17975844
what? you know you can get Terre d'Hermes and Margiela at a mall too? more commonly than Cartier fragrances too. TdH is in every chain fragrance store I've been in

is this it guys? Is this the frag I need to get cute girls?

>>17975941
Dior Homme 2020

Which PDM should I get for autumn/winter, Layton or Herod ? They both smell great

>>17975923
No problem, I kinda love/hate sour, can’t stop smelling it when I wear it. Been meaning to try Yuzu Fou as well, since the notes are similar sour citrus > woody musk.

>>17975782
masstige, but somewhat interesting. i wouldn't buy more than a sample
>>17975752
>I’m assuming since they’re so ‘colorful’?

Guys whenever I use this yodeyma fragrance I get stuffy nose and weird anxiety. Wtf is this? Can i be allergic to frags? I only spray on clothes….

Is pic related worth the money?

Posting another portion of my collection. You may critique it or ask questions about the fragrances pictured.

>>17975400
Try L'Ombre Dans L'Eau by Diptyque. A little over your budget I think; but it's a gorgeous, very earthy fresh rose. Diptyque in general has many very realistic floral scents. You might also try Do Son, that one's more tuberose-oriented.
Also not to shit on the other guy but I have a bottle of D'un Soir, it smells incredibly synthetic to me. Not to say it's terrible, and you can definitely pick up the rose in it, but I don't think it smells much like freshly-picked flowers at all.

Layton by far. Herod is just overpriced Pure Havane

>Goldfield & Banks Ingenious Ginger for day
>Versace Dylan blue for night getting the hoes
That's my spring/summer rotation

Is there anything you can do to help weak frags project better? It seems like all the ones I really like barely project whatsoever

>>17976101
Besides overspraying on all your hot points, you can also add a spray on top of your clothes so long as it's not something that will stain. Maybe there is someone who is into mixing perfumes that can help with that side, if such a thing is possible. As far as I know, there isn't a lot you can do. Either avoid those or reapply later in the day.

>>17975865
Someone else earlier in the thread described Bois Imperial as bitter, but imo I would call it a bit sour as opposed to bitter, but is also fresh.

>>17976012
Hahahahaha holy shit. I gotta know, how many sprays was that, a decant atomizer or a full bottle, and which frag?
That’s definitely gonna be a chore to work around, but it can be done… strictly back of neck and under shirt sprays… but still lol.

>>17976023
*IF* you’re allergic, and you can smell it, it’s getting in you dude. Doesn’t matter where you spray.

>>17975381
nice hair Connor

>>17975950
DH2020 has gradually become my goto scent. I recently tried it mixed with La Nuit De L'Homme EDP, and it's magical. First time a mix has worked out so well for me.

>>17975315
People here are going to call you boring if you arent buying some obscure house frag thats like 200$+
Niche gatekeepers dont like it when you smell better than them with some 100$ designer fragrance that actually outsmells their 300$ oud/Lavender/Cinnamon frag that is doesnt even have an evolving scent profile

Well, I give up.

Can’t find anywhere that sells decants of Eau des Baux (in the US) and there’s no stores that carry it (near me). Time to blind buy my first full bottle.
Relatively safe buy all things considered.

>>17975408
okay advice mixed with terrible advice

>>17976246
"niche gatekeepers" is the singular homofag samefagger. It's only one singular anon bro; they are literally the borg

>>17975079
Post interesting Fragrantica PMs, e-fights, and other retarded dramas you've experienced in the world of online fragrance.

>wanted to order essential parfums discovery set
>burger version of website is out of bandwidth on the order page

shid

>>17975673
Walk The Sea is probably my favorite perfume ever.
It's a shame Sacred Memory is discontinued. It's kinda what I imagined By The Fireside would be like if it was good. Seems like a crowd-pleaser, but its notes are very distinct, and emerge separately as you wear it. I was kinda on the fence about it, but when it was announced it was discontinued I picked it up, and now I wonder why I didn't get it sooner.
If the Kerosene discovery set ever becomes available again, it's a no-brainer for anybody into perfumes.

>>17976204
>and which frag
iirc murkwood, it was some guy itt. i also sold my bottle, partly because the stains are so annoying. it doesn't dry, if you spray it on your chest and put on a shirt 30min later it'll stain

>when your allergy pills fully kick in and you smell ALL the notes

>>17975409
How is it anon, how did Karen smell

>>17975409

>>17976337
yep, the second you see somebody use the term masstige you know you are dealing with that retard.
inb4 defending pdm, fuck no, they are mancera tier.

Tried this at sephora on skin and this shit flew away completely in 40 minutes what the fuck

>>17975708
>>17975706
the EDT has decent longevity for a citrus freshie IMO and definitely above-average projection. it just likes to play tricks on the wearer because of all the Iso E. I've gotten comments on its strength two hours after applying like three sprays
I don't have the Parfum, but I'm sure it's fine too

>>17976497
also this too but more like 20 minutes fuck you armani

>>17976311
yeah if you like Spicebomb Extreme and Tobacco Vanille it's a pretty safe blind buy

>>17976497
I have Bleu Electrique, it's basically a skin scent. Doesn't project much, but lasts very long. I went on a date last week and the girl said she could smell it on her clothes a day later. She loved it too, it's magnificent.

>>17976024
Pls respond

>>17976024
Nice bottle, notes look sound and the price tag is only like £35, go for it.

Oh man, I've got some Pineward samples coming with my Ecuacion Natural order. Forgot he even writes that on his website, now I'll keep it in mind.
So keep turpentine handy, huh.

I hope you find you signature scent soon. It's 2024, you almost have 6 years from now until Vladi comes and produce more eastern-german lookalikes with your wife/mom/sister/daughter.

A war with who? The country that has been in a stalemate with fucking Ukraine for years now? lmao
I'm pretty sure Russia will be out of young men by 2030 at this pace, so at worst you should ready yourself for making babies with Private Katyusha.

these 2 are basically the same right?

thanks, anon

>>17976651
It's a fresh frag with great projection and sillage (almost nuclear). Its drydown leans a bit feminine. However it's nothing to worry about, unlike dior homme intense.

>>17976670
how often do you worry about dior homme intense?

Dior Homme is the BEST frag to have ever been crafted. The amount of seethe it causes is testament to this simple fact

I picked up a few decants and pic related was one of them. I love the scent but it's fairly weak and barely projects. Are there any similar smelling frags that perform better? Or should I just spray this one like 10 times every few hours?

fragranceline dot com legit website? Its UI is very similar to scentsplit. Has anyone used it?

>>17976651
masstige slop, would do well as a 30€ cheapy
>>17976665
>these 2 are basically the same right?
lol

>>17976678
Anything other than 2020 is for gays. No seethe, just the facts.

Bought the Santa Maria Novella discovery set, as I’ve been wanting to specifically try out their frags ‘Potpourri’ and ‘Bizzaria’ for a while. Anybody familiar with them?

>>17976594
Haha, does it actually say this somewhere on his site? I completely missed that part.

>>17976640
Pretty solid choices, enjoy.

"The perfumes of Pineward are crafted largely using heavily concentrated absolutes and should be tested on small patches of skin before further application, or alternatively they may be worn on dark-colored garments."
From the About section. But I had forgotten until you mentioned.

Tauer’s L’Air du Desert Marocain and Au Coeur du Desert

Can someone compare and contrast them for me? I have heard about these for years and figure shit I might as well finally just blind buy one

>>17976842
Please dont blind buy frags like these see if you can find a decant seller. I got a decant for Au coeur and hated it. I can appreciate the scent but would never wear it

>>17976842
check the reviews from Luca Turin
also don't blind buy

decent and natural smelling frags, not the most complex

>>17976597

>>17976915
Which thread?

>>17975091
Your pic is such a well blended scent but I have a 180 reaction to it day by day. Sometimes it's nauseating and other days it's one of the most addicting things I've ever smelled

Might just get a 60ml of Sauvage EDP to wear in the evenings when i'm in Japan, just one spray on the chest after a shower should be ok....

I don’t know much about animalic scents I’m kind of a noob with a 25 fragrance collection at the moment.

Can someone explain the appeal of smelling fecal? It seems hilarious to me but I want to hear the side of a serious niche collector

>>17976945
>I’m kind of a noob with a 25 fragrance collection
kind of a big collection for a noob
anyway animalic materials are usually used in small quantities and balanced with more pleasant materials

>>17976945
Animalic elements have been used usually because they enrich florals, but some people really like it as a singular element because they have Special Noses.

>>17976945
Not all of them smell fecal.
They smell dirty, they smell like bodies, like you know, animals, its a very unique edge.
Or better yet, instead of trying to use words to understand the other side, use your nose.
Sample stuff.

I ordered samples of FM Monsieur and Uncut Gem (unfortunately no Vetiver Extraordinaire) but I never see them mentioned among recommended fragrances from this house. What should I expect?

>fall for the nofap meme
>just 2 days streak extremely horny
>wet dreams, aggressive in public, have the feeling to top every guy and women

Give.me a reason not to buy it next month

Ill go for the regular, not the cringey bust version

>>17977271
>he’s not getting the bust
Why even bother?

>>17977275
The quality of it looks like shit

I don't understand the hype guys, I just order it and this is just any other designer shit.

Why I kept reading this was a oakmoss bomb

>>17977326
You bought a woman's rihanna perfume, wtf do you expect?

>>17977351
I kept reading from you fuckers that they used natural oakmoss, fuck ifra etc and I cannot for the love of god detect the fucking oakmoss

First I got baited with neroli intense and now This. Never again

you fuckers did not tell me that this was the fragrance equivalent of the these edibles ain't shit meme, stuff is actual crack

>>17976945
It doesn't smell like shit. It smells like piss

>>17976440
Musky and floral. Kinda old lady like (shocker)

>>17977356
Nothing says oakmoss in the accords... Do some basic research instead of being a sheep.

>>17977371
It's very pleasant though

>>17976101
Fragrance enthusiasts are completely insane anon. Do not worry about the projection I PROMISE you people smell it. I had a friend put on a single spray of my poorest performer just to see what it was like on him and I could smell it every time he walked by, even hours later after he could not smell it on himself anymore

>>17977326
>>17977356
lol I can’t fathom 4chan tricking me into buying a rihanna perfume

>>17976681
see the new extrait vrsn released recently
other alternatives that i like: baraonda by nasomatto, blackmail by kerosene, rania j's newest

Cologne to smell like pic related?

>>17977438
Well, if you guys stopped shilling that perfume and all it's flankers maybe I wouldn't either

>>17975079
Do you personally throw out frags after a certain age?

SOTD:

>>17977666
Meaning to say that you're "too old to wear this frag," so you get rid of it? I'm only 30 and I've never worn stuff like Le Male or Eros in the first place, so I can't say I've ever considered doing this. How old are you and what frags are you considering tossing/have you tossed?

>>17977366
yeah Antaeus is great

>>17977674
I got rid of my Acqua di Gio that I'd worn through my 20s (only frag I wore), gave away like 120ml to a friend. I am 34.

>>17976702

Oud Minerale

did tom ford tobacco vanille recipe get reformulated or is this reddit

>>17977688
why though? you didn't use it anymore since you had other frags or did you deem it to be too "youthful"?

>>17977771
its just watered down, new batches may be sweeter than they used to be.

>>17977771
it probably did get reformulated, but it also probably smells almost exactly the same as it did when it came out

Anyway, does anybody have experience with getting rogue perfumery fragrances into eu?

>>17977793
what do you mean? Ecuacion Natural sells Rogue frags

>>17977774
Horrific smell memories mostly, but also did feel like "my" youth (in a bad way). Less an objective statement, more personal one.

Has anyone tried Lattafa's Ana Abiyedh Leather, and would care to share their opinion? I read that it's supposed to be a clone of Irish Leather. It's piqued my curiosity for some reason, a lot of people really seem to hate it. One youtube review I watched remarked that the only reason he keeps the bottle around is to mask the smell of cat piss when he cleans up after his cat. I think I'm mostly curious because I've yet to dip my toes into Arab frag piracy. I considered looking into Asad as well, but decided against it as I'm in no need of another bottle of Sauvage.

Also rate my samples/feel free to rec me something before I confirm my order

>>17977777
Baste

>Sotd: NYI (decant finally arrived)

>>17977794
I couldn't find it in any of the polish / german perfumeries, and one of their descriptions was "big fuck you to ifra" so I thought they don't sell in eu.
Thanks for the help.

>>17977828
you could have just check out the Rogue website for the retailers in the EU but whatevs
you're welcome

>SOTD: Ajmal Amber Wood
normie tier but nicely blended, imo pretty similar to Nicolai's Amber Oud but without the oud part (which is also not too prominent in the Nicolai frag either), performance is quite good, fall/winter day and night frag

Which bogart one man show is your favourite frag?

What am I in for?

This vanilla making me want to buy a Mercedes, club black 100ml for 48 bucks and only a year old. Bangin'

Russia is not using young men tho. Their soldiers are old alcoholics, drug addicts, convicts, gays, trannies, niggers, Muslims, refugees, and other minorities and undesirables Putin wants to eliminate.

SOTD: Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady, 4 spraus

>>17976809
Hahaha, yeah… now I do remember reading that but I didn’t really appreciate it until now.

>>17976945
Personally I’m not a fan of animalics either, with the closest I’ll come is Iron Duke, but I think the best comparison I could make is it’s like people who put salt on watermelon, other fruit, or chocolate.
The saltiness accentuates the sweetness.

>>17977568
Everything from ELDO that contains a rose note (including Hermann) smells like Vick’s Vaporub.

Are you at your twink gf’s house?

lert me guess you need more?

Can I wear fragrance with jeans and t-shirt? I'm planning to get a fancier wardrobe in the coming months, but I also want to smell nice in the meantime. I was going for Bleu Electrique because I've heard good things about la nuit de l'homme in general but want something longer lasting. It needs to be YSL because the girl I'm in love with wears a YSL perfume.

>>17978349
You can wear fragrance in nothing but your birthday suit. Have you asked her what her favourite smell is?

>>17978349
nigga is just smelly water.
and the girl you love is getting porked daily, and its not fragrance thats gatekeeping you from porking her

>>17978353
She likes Miss Dior and YSL Mon Paris

>>17978375
I haven't confessed my love yet because I'm too shy. I need to love myself more first, treating myself to fancy clothes and fancy perfumes helps. If she wears perfume and I love her, that means that lovely people wear perfume. If I wear perfume, I become lovely, in my own eyes.

Got a new juicy bottle of Spicebomb Extreme today. Still seems potent so maybe I got lucky

>>17978375
nta but thanks for a wake up call

>>17978349
get a YSL suit instead.
Or are you poor?

>>17978342
I only have the 50ml EDT, so yeah I do actually.

>>17975737
i thought the zoo hyrax had real hyrax in it

>>17976651
i smelled it on someone at the gym and its a projection beast, smelled fantastic. worth full retail? probably if the claims about longevity are true. worth the 400 dollars LV asks? no

>>17977351
nta, but i hear rebel fleur is a good womens cheapie

>>17978383
>I haven't confessed my love yet
don't do that, unless you want her to consider you as a nice guy and not as "boyfriend material"

Thoughts on YSL Kouros?
the notes look interesting, but i don't think i can try it on my skin here

>>17978459
I have a vintage bottle and it's a really strong musky floral . I don't see the animalic or pissy notes at all. It's strong but pleasant

>>17978389
I wish you the best Anon.

>>17978430
Nah, they’re pretty “None of our fragrances have ANYTHING real animal in them” even the beeswax stuff is artificial.

>>17977974

mate, you CANNOT be posting kawaiispeech with a body like that man...

>>17978383
It's good that you have paths to building that relationship with yourself, but be careful about putting that behind conditinals. If you know what helps - good - but love yourself also before perfume. You are enough, anon, worthy of your own love without perfume and fancy clothes. Good luck, I believe in you.

Literally any modern designer releases, fruity and sweet.

>>17975079
Offering horny in exchange for advice, I'm like not a huge fan of that weird masculine scent that is seemingly integral to male perfumes, but I LOVE spice and wood and depth to smell.

I've tried David Jones and myers pefume selections but I just end up looking and then leaving, pls help, I need my balls to smell good to impress the 80 year old women at the thrift shop.

>>17975079
Tested pic rel it was very nice. More masculine leaning rather than unisex IMO but it's pretty expensive. Going to blind buy the arab dupe hopefully I don't get scammed.

>>17978894
try a sample of invasion barbare

>>17975079
Just got Kismet Moscow. Guys it's gorgeous! Lemon, vanilla, cardamom.

>>17978875
True, EDT Philosykos smells way better because it doesn’t have fucking coconut dropped in it.

>>17975079
Finally got The Goods from Bloom. First one I tried was Vi et Armis, smells like somebody soaked lapsing souchong into a leather jacket nobody had worn in 20 years inside an antique shop. And a tiny bit of whiskey.

>>17978894
Creed Spice and Wood. Can’t afford? An 80 year old sugar mama might help you.

>>17979216
you know that the fig and coconut accords are constructed from the same exact aroma chemicals

>>17979227
Yes, but you can’t smell the coconut in the EDT, probably because it’s less concentrated.

>>17979229
true, it is more green and vegetal. However ever since I've tried athenean from heeley no other green fig does it for me.
