If a frag has progressed to only being a skin scent, the frag is over. It is not still “lasting”.

Alright fragbros, what scent would you wear for a bachelor party:
-As one of the groomsmen?
-As the groom?

>>17998043
TdH is clever with its remaking of older styles, nods to Eau d'Hermes and bold use of modern aromachemicals

Hello. Just to make you aware, fragrancenet sells COUNTERFEIT perfumes. Don't listen to shills who say otherwise.

I love it, but it's definitely unisex. My wife wears it sometimes. I have only used it a handful of times, it's very strong so I don't wear to office.

Manuel Cross Chypre Noir For American Perfumer 1/75 limited edition signed bottles image courtesy of American Perfumer©

Indeed, Manuel Cross Chypre Noir For American Perfumer possesses a beautiful bone structure, and a lineage which is readily traceable to the greats of yore: vintage Cabochard de Gres, created by Bernard Chant in 1959 (musks, leather, oakmoss), and Germaine Cellier’s vintage Balmain Jolie Madame, 1953 (artemisia, tuberose, musk, oakmoss, leather). Both fragrances are growlingly animalic – but they utilize civet and/or castoreum in the process, whereas Manuel has chosen costus root – a potent vegetal musk which smells divinely of the unwashed scalp of the beloved. Once you become acquainted with costus, you will always remember it; it imparts an additional leatheriness that we associate with other musks, and it can help anchor a scent – so it performs double duty in Chypre Noir. Indolic, enchanting tuberose maintains its lustre here, never fading into the background (in the afore-mentioned leather chypres, one finds jasmine, ylang-ylang, and gardenia instead). Bitter herbs enhance its sophistication without the use of galbanum; while not listed, artemisia comes to mind immediately. Musk ketone is sweetly fatty and persistent, contributing a rondeur which is so appealingly reminiscent of great chypres; it feels as if the perfumer has not stinted on the oakmoss, either – always such a delight: earthy, shadowy, and rich.

Notes: herbs, tuberose, musk ketone, costus, oakmoss, leather

If you do go with the EDT, it's cheaper on Jomashop.

yo so just got a sample of TF because I liked some stuff in the store and the situation is dire

grey vetiver and noir disappear in like 15 minutes, oud wood is so boring I can't believe it. noir extreme is very good all over however, long lasting and very amazing scent. but still, is TF really that bad post sellout?

>>17998171
Fucking blotters. Enjoy your haul Anon, genuinely, but I can’t stand that shift when they don’t come in an atomizer, even cheap ones.

Kill yourself

When talking about which season/s a fragrance is best suited for, spring and summer shouldn't be paired up. Instead spring and autumn should be paired up because they are closest in terms of average temperature. Spring ranges from cold early on to hot right before summer. And autumn is the other way around, starts out hot and ends cold. The seasons should be split as such:

Summer - Spring&Autumn - Winter

JOEL THE NOSE IS HERE TO BEAT YOUR ASSES! HE'S GOING TO BEAT YOU SO HARD, YOU WON'T KNOW YOUR ASS FROM YOUR ELBOW

>>17997999
Btw why do you buy fragrance?
I buy it for a few reasons, because I like good scents and because I want to smell good to others. BUT NO COMPLIMENTS, they make me feel uncomfortable. I want them to think about me smelling good, not telling it to me.

>>17998041
>Uuuh women uuuh I like them uuuh I want their pussy uuuh
Just find one good friend. Everything else can be fixed with porn.
Why do we want women's attention, but when we don't get it we feel so heartbroken? Why do we have to be such pussies?

I'll do penguin first since he's been asking simce last thread, then I'll do >>17998182 and >>17998201

Upon opening it was powerful and aromatic, it wasn't actually cold but it triggered the same feeling your nose get when you breathe in cold air. I'm not too keen on what ozonic notes exactly smell like but the smell was definitely a cool and clean scent.

The drydown went into a kinda soapy, almost aldehyde like scent mixed with a smooth woodyness and juniper. Not the strong smoky woodiness in a lot of male scents, it's a smooth kinda leathery drydown (the suede and labdanum probably helpes that) mixed with fresh laundry air. If you take a big whiff it still tickles the nose like breathing in cold air even on the drydown.

Overall it's a nice winter scent and it's invigorating in the way a cold glass of water is but I don't know if it I would buy a full bottle simply because a full spray would have me sneezing from the ice and ozone scent. The drydown is more manageable but I'd have to wait and put up with an itchy nose until then.

Longetivity is all right, it's already been a few hours and the drydown smells the same, that puts it above a few other EDPs that don't go above 2 hours

$175 for 60ml is kinda up there for me but eh it's niche and worth differs from person to person

>>17998406
YUP

>>17998484
Very correct.
Also, season shouldn't even be a factor. Only temperature.
I don't think Joel ever talked about seasons and temperature, but neither did Jeremy, so, Jeremy and everyone else still suck Joel's dick

>>17998488
I love smelling nice during the day and night, it”s therapeutic and makes me happy. Just smelling my own fragrance in my personal bubble is really pleasant when I’m otherwise surrounded by stinky hospital and care smells.

I'm pissed, I bought samples of LV Imagination, L'Immensité, Afternoon Swim and Nishane Hacivat
They all suck to my nose, I can't believe they are all worth $200, none of them smell like it

L'Immensité is the most original one I guess
Imagination smells very feminine and bland like shampoo, Afternoon Swim smells cheap as fuck and Hacivat is just straight up disgusting, I'm not even kidding it smells like fresh chicken in supermarkets

$30 sample and it's all garbage, I thought I'd get something similar to G&B Ingenious Ginger which I found a bit too feminine to my taste, but IG smelled absolutely amazing. These 4 however, wouldn't recommend to anyone given the price

>>17998505
I get tired of them easily though. Do you?
Sometimes I just take a week break because I feel very sad and don't feel like smelling fragrances.
Imo, I don't find them therapeutic, but I did make some memories with two of them. Life is magical when it's not complete shit

>>17998507
Hahahahaha I love it when people waste and burn their hard earned money and then cry and suffer! I love to see people suffer

Post your favs.

>>17997999
Joel says don't buy aqua di gio, because it's a very popular fragrance.
Basically, he advises not to buy populars, because you'll smell like everyone else and lack persanality.

>>17997999
Dead thread. Maybe you should make a new one when there already are more

>>17998530
it's best to buy frags that are as popular as they are expensive. that way people will know you have money by smelling you and therefore respect you more.

>>17998424
>I'd never blindbuy anything.
Cringe fragcom sample collector vs based blind purchase surprise enjoyer

>>17998541
The last actual thread hit bump limit, hence we make a new one. Are you new here perhaps?

Anyone who’s tried the Essential Parfums set, how is Mon Vetiver?
I want to try it but none of the other scents in the set interest me (I already have Bois Imperial, obviously)

Got a few Orto Parisi and Nasomatto samples to see what Gualtieri is all about.
Baraonda - realistic whisky note in the opening, turns into a musky, dirty rose. Don't know how else to describe it. Pretty fucking good.
Pardon - Opens like a barbershop frag and then the oud gets stronger. Opening reminds me of Invasion Barbare and the rest like a higher quality Oud Wood. Also pretty good.
Cuoium - Very, very smoky leather. Reminds me of how my dad smelled after coming back from the factory with sweat, cigarette smoke, and his leather jacket scent. Very nostalgic to me and I love it on my skin.
Terroni - Can only describe this as a fancy boardroom where every furniture is made of heritage wood, mixed with the smell of wine. Delicious.
Megamare - Smells like the sea, salty water, sweat again, like if you spent the entire day at the beach surfing. One spray is enough, fills a room, and it will last the entire day + showers. Powerful stuff.

the only fragrance i've ever had f*males make any sort of positive comment on was some random ass fresh scent that some roastie who worked at nordstrom gave me that gets like 2/5 in online reviews

>>17998334
It smells better and has better performance. Compare the two on Fragrantica. Better would be to test decants if you can.

Digital fragrance advertising should be illegal, just like food ads should. These things are not something to be seen. You smell and taste them. You're not going to become homo if you wear Robert Pattinson.
Fragrance influencers are a bit better because they actually describe the fragrance.
Actually, imo, all advertising should be banned

>>17999065
no one forces you to buy stuff, anon
let the cattle do it tho so more perfumers can stay afloat
that means you have more options to choose from

>>17999069
Ok, how do I put AdBlock on smart tv?

>>17999065
>Fragrance influencers are a bit better because they actually describe the fragrance.
If you pay attention you will realize they dont actually usually describe the fragrance.
They might list a note or two but they usually go "Oh it smells dark manly fresh." Or something along those lines without even describing the evolution of the fragrance notes as it progresses.

>>17999065
perfume ads can be pretty fun. they can have artistic value and at least they're honest about their nature as advertisment
compare that to stealth marketing by fragrance influencers, where the idea is to trick you this is the guy's actual unbiased opinion... now that's despicable. do you really prefer some paid off guy telling you that PdM is a top 10 pantydropper over the nice ads below?

perfume commercials were fun in the 1970s, they didn't take themselves seriously at all. like that Jovan Sex Appeal commercial

>>17999077
In that case you're right, and the best place to look is fratrantica. and of course testing in person, if you have a store nearby. No way I'm paying for testers and transport, it's just too expensive.

>>17999078
If he's paid off, I don't like him. That's why I enjoy Joel the nose

>>17999090
>and the best place to look is fratrantica
most of the fragrantica commenters are morons. the best place to look is a trusted reviewer who's not just a grifter doing "top 10 fragrancers I was paid the most to shill" lists. to name some examples: the gay dragon from Basenotes, Luca Turin, and a few lesser known youtubers like Ramsey, Wafts from the loft or MrSmelly
unfortunately you have to wade through tons of generic shills, but there are some fragrance reviewers worth listening to online

>>17999090
>if you have a store nearby.
I mean you really are limiting yourself to what fragrances you can try if you do this.
>No way I'm paying for testers and transport, it's just too expensive.
Yeah, it can be, but its less expensive than buying something and not knowing. Lots of samples are in the 3-5 dollar range, and its very very difficult to find certain Niche houses perfumes even when you are using the internet to find samples.
The best way to not spend shit tons of money is compiling a list of like 10-20 frags you want to try and order them all at once from the same site so you dont have to constantly pay like 5-12 for shipping.

>>17999076
you create a private dns server that blocks ads.

I think fragrance nerds vastly overestimate how common fragrances are. I'd say a good 95% of people don't wear cologne, and if they do its something cheap they got at the drug store. I've never once smelled Sauvage in public, despite it seemingly being "everywhere". For comparison, ask me how many times I see Dre Beats in a day...

>>17999180
haven't tried it, but according to its notes I think you're in for a very orange-y experience.

>>17999201
Same. I always see people saying the same thing too... "You'll smell like everyone else!" I am in an office twice a week with a ton of people and we all make over six figures. There's only one other person I know that regularly wears cologne. Maybe zoomers wear it more? Millennials don't at all.

What frags remind you of your dad?

>>17999271
Don't remember what it was exactly. It was a very sterotypically late 80s/early 90s frag. He doesn't remember either.

>>17999271

Help me anons I'm getting desperate. I recently got a bar of pic related as a gift. It smells incredible - Smooth, floral, botanical, dry. Exactly how lavender smells when I pull it our of my garden.

I want a cologne that does the same but everything I've found either blends it with 50+ other scents or combines it with a massive heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream smell.

Please help me find a frag that just appreciates the beautify of this plant without trying to turn it into a fucking desert. I'm desperate. This plant smells so complex and lovely on its own, I figured this would be an easy find.

what the fuck are these suggestions, do not get MEM

if you want to smell like a soap bar you want to get CDG's marseille, MEM's lavender is top notch (as is in hiram's arcadia). nicolai's amber oud offers a better, smooth and herbal lavender in the drydown over MEM

>>17999628
meant to finish the sentence by "[..], but MEM itself is not a clean fragrance by any means"

My friend said not to get Polo Green. That I'm a couple decades away from it. That there's a reason it's only worn on the golf course and that is ventilation. That the only people wearing it are a couple years away from the grave and need everyone to smell them one last time.

Who gives a flying shit? Idiot! Try to post stuff we actually care about. Try posting about where to spray or how many times, or a funny story about a fragrance giving you a rash... Who cares what you want?

Ambroxan and calone are actually based, you just smelled badly brewed shilled fragrances.
>>17999743
Based. Best for this feel is to eat a steak with garlic sauce, make sure your skin chemistry literally smell like garlic. Then go heavy with Bon Monsieur/Al Rehab Dakar. You're ready to conquer some wombs.

i love to blind buy old man fragrances more than anyone in this general, but even i'm not this stupid

>>17999769
The video looks like it will be a tour but skipping through it just looks like an autist vlogging.

>>17998522
That was hard.

>>17999866
Yeah, but it's nice to see this kind of talk

>>17999859
sounds like an american problem

>>17999893
It's actually an Australian problem

Anyway, here's 20-odd grandpa scents I've blind bought - what am I missing?

What's the consensus on this one /fa/? I want a summer fragrance and this one seems to be widely recommended.

>>17999910
>mfw when no Antaeus
lol fag

>>17999910
Spray them all at once

Anyone got the new JPG?

>>17998712
Something else. It's a gamble, because she might not like it. And when she doesn't, good job, you managed to gift her something bad for Valentine's Day. You'll never hear the end of that.

>>17999892
Im spending a lot of money in perfumes but the point he makes about perfumes not adding "any value" to your life is just fucking retarded. Also not every obsession is ocd. He is just fucking clueless

He also say at some point that women like guys that wear perfume because that make them think that since you spent money on something as useless as perfume you will spend it on her??????

Is this guy for real

>>17999910
very based

>>17999912
all that's good about it is that it's cheap

>>17999957
Hahaha you sad fucking autist

>>17999964
I'm.not the guy on the video tho

>>17999957
It’s just him rambling when it’s just autistic hyperfixation.

>>17998988
There are two buttons. One is placed at the entrance, the other is placed far in the back. However, the one at the entrance zaps you when you press it. The one in the back lights up and emits a pleasant hum. Far more people press the button at the entrance, for some reason, but when asked about it, nobody likes it. People prefer the one in the back. Now tell me - should it be the amount of button presses that decides popularity?

>>17999110
Fragrances are luxury accessories.

>>17999305
As the other anon said, DO NOT GET MEM! The only thing I have ever smelled that was close to the smell of lavender in the summer was Invasion Barbare. Miniscule vanilla at most. Just airy lavender otherwise.

>>17999657

Does anyone else laugh at these pretentious little chuds who pretend they can decipher each individual ingredient in a perfume? You're not a dog.

>>17999970
>DO NOT GET MEM!
>t. noselet

>>17999305
You can add some pure essential oil to a spritzer and dilute a bit if there’s a lavender farm where you can buy some legit round your parts, decent longevity.

How many fragrances can I have without having ocd, is 12 okay?

What's a good hot weather fragrance that doesn't have an aromatic accord

>>17999974
You can’t decipher four things in a fragrance?

>>17999912
I like it. It's cheap and reminds me of honeydew melon

>>17999975
It sucks and I'm not even gonna bother pretending it doesn't. Chemical weapon, needs to be safely disposed of.

>>17999912
Nothing nautical about it.

'telli

>>17999990
You can't either, chud. Need to take you pretentious little retards and put a blindfold on you with a loaded pistol pointed to your heads. Decipher and differentiate each note with your dog-like noses or get a bullet in the head. Guaranteed 100% execution rate.

I mean, there's quite a bunch of classics that are worth adding, like Habit Rouge.

>>17999998
>Guerlain Homme EDP
Do you think it's too mature smelling or can a younger guy wear it well too? Also, how is the rum/alcohol note?

>>18000021
Actually that's Encre noir.

>>18000000

>>18000036
ANY one can wear ANY thing ANY where ANY time

>>18000036
i think it's a bit more old fashioned than e.g. Mon Vetiver but ofc you can wear it if you are not a full-blown sperg (you should just give up then)

>>17999998
offbyone.jpg

>>17999637
Idk if it's that strong anymore. Very much an old school grandpa frag though

>>17999912
I dislike it. Smells cheap and juvenile. Get encre noire sport instead.

Why is the Dior homo cuck allowed to have like 5 different DHI threads up?

>>18000063
reminder: janitors on 4chan are still doing it for free
also, it looks like all of /fa/ has like 0,1 jannies and even less mods assigned to it
>source: it came to me in a dream

>>17999974
Is he talking about Lalique Lion? I wouldn't really say that's vanilla dominant. I like that fragrance a lot.

>>18000036
It's not old fashioned at all for a vetiver fragrance. Smells like a vetiver mojito.

>>17998165
I don't see anything anon

>>17999957
It's nice to listen to him talk nonsense. You're right, i like fragrance. It smells good and I like smelling good (without overdoing it, not my type to put too much. But no less than 2 sprays of anything)

>>17999970
Yes, because I think popularity has to do with the population that presses the button, not the experience. You are probably right though.
Apart from that, I still want to find the fragrance with the most reviews, which I think is sauvage

>>17999769
Fatty is dead on

>>17998201
Chris Collins African Rooibos

To answer your question directly: Yes, it smells like tea to me, specifically the spicy teas that use a lot of cardamom and cinnamon. The opening is moderately sweet and spicy with bergamot and cardamom.

On the drydown is when it transitions from a sweet aromatic acent to a more smoky, spicy scent. Of note is the orris that gives it a very, incredibly light but noticeable powderness that makes it feel like you dove your hand into a bag of dried tea leaves.

Longetivity is good, maybe slighlty above average. It's been 5 hours and I went outside with a parka and I can still smell it on me.

I would totally buy a full bottle of this, it's a sweet peppery herbal that slowly tones down into an smoky, comforting warm spicy. Only issue is the price ($175 for 50ml niche frags istg)

My TF Ombre Leather just came. Really happy with it.

What's the best frag for really high heat? Like 90F and above. Something super fresh.

>>18000257
Ghost in the Shell makes you smell very clean and fresh, good for heat.

>>18000257
dior homme cologne or similar frags

>>17999596
My stepdad has a bottle of this, I spray some every time I’m at his house, and it just smells like I spilled some Sprite and lasts approximately 25 seconds on my skin
>Azzaro Chrome
Smells like nondescript shampoo, get Chrome Sport at the very least

>>17999988
Great frag and based digits, but DH2020 is too heavy for summer imo, firmly a spring/fall wear

Fougerebros, got decants on the way of Bon Monsieur and Masculin Pluriel, what am I in for?
I already have bottles of DN and At the Barber’s to compare them to

Got Y by YSL and the bottom batch code from box to bottle is different? One says 5 years old and one says it is 8 years old (not possible as it wasn't made 8 years ago).

What the heck is going on?!

>>18000392
You got a fake from someone using genuine (but non-matching) packaging.

Ok anons, my probationary period is up I'm gong to start wearing fragrance to work.

>>18000392
Got my refund from eBay immediately. I'm a little bummed though. That cloned opening was amazing, then it disappeared into nothing. A real deal bottle would probably cost me an extra 30 bucks so I will just wait and buy that next year, use up what I own for now.

>>18000392
look at this fucker. he meant to make the M a W and it would've said the cologne was 1 year old and I'd have believed it. instead it gave away it is 8+ years old when they've only been making this since 2018

>>17998924
I like Bisch, he has a lot of frags I’m a fan of, but I wouldn’t follow him into the Middle East. Pass.

>>17999180
I’m still convinced this is the same shill that mentions it once or twice every thread for the past 20~ threads. LV as a brand was never talked about here until the singular person that keeps bringing up this frag.

>>17999741
The text says German but that face is 100% pure Colombian cocai…
>USA methhead

>>18000271
Anyone able to confirm that? I bought it recently and hadn’t considered it a -high- heat frag.

>>18000507
>I’m still convinced this is the same shill that mentions it once or twice every thread for the past 20~ threads. LV as a brand was never talked about here until the singular person that keeps bringing up this frag.
who the fuck are you to make the rules here

>sample MEM
>instantly fall in love
>buy bottle
>happy for a few months
>decide I just wanna have some on my wrist, not a sprays worth
>put on sample
>sample is infinitely superior to my bottle
I need to figure out what fucking batch my sample was because it's day and night how much better it is

>>18000507
I don't even want to sample LV fragrances because I disagree with their ludicrous pricing for the full bottles. I'll be fine without.

>>18000277

>>18000316
Bon monsieur is just a top 3 fougere, that's it

>>18000595
The pricing is high but imagination is a fucking masterpiece and high quality. Don't know about the rest tho

>>18000525
I experiened this with my bottle of Green Irish Sneed By Creed
Sample smelled much sweeter, and my actual bottle smells not nearly as sweet, they are the same minus the disparity in the sweetness.
But now I have a bottle of Green Irish Tweed I dont wear at all kek

>>18000525
I just ordered samples of Mem, Maai, 20, 10 by Bogue.
What am I in for? I have never really fucked with animalics at all.
I am more of a fresh/clean/sweet type of person

>>18000633
>I am more of a fresh/clean/sweet type of person
this shit ain't like that
MEM and MAAI are still masterpieces of modern perfumery tho

>>18000633
I got a 20 & Lita decant and I am not fond of them. I finally know I just don't like the classics.

>>17999305
>cologne that does the same

Is this a good fragrance?

blind bought bleu electrique, just got it delivered today
it does smell nice but some of you faggots truly overhyped it lol. don't matter, it will make for a nice office scent, but honestly i don't see it as anything more than that

>>18000708
I think it was just one guy spamming it. most regulars seem to frown at the overhyping of generic l'oreal zombie YSL flanker #54325

>>17999917
fully intend on buying antaeus, platinum egoiste and pour monsieur if the department stores ever mark them down even slightly. i know chanel is so tight about distribution and sales but i still refuse to pay full price
>>17999970
gonna buy the cerruti thanks
been looking for giorgio for men but it's fairly unobtainable over here! don't think red is for me
>>18000020
the first three are definitely good calls, they'd been on my list. dunhill 1934 kind of tough to find over here, and lagerfeld classic just doesn't seem like my taste at all

appreciate the recs anons, let's see how we go with these!

What is your favorite Rogue frag? For me, it's Mousse Illuminée.

>>18000729
Dali is worth owning just for the bottle desu
Cerruti 1881 is bretty gud. a bit like if someone added a lot of cassia and rose to eau sauvage

>>17999910
I fucking love Lalique Lion
I gotta compare it to New York Intense sometime. I sniffed that once at a niche store and I think it was more mossy and less powdery?

Kinda tempted to get Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Rouge Energetic, it’s a cheapie but the notes are really nice.

>didn't like standard terre d'hermes (both edt and p) when I last smelled them quite a long time ago
>ended up getting a few samples including these two
>ah let's try again, I know a lot of people love that stuff, maybe now I'll appreciate it
>it still just smells like dirt to me with barely any freshness anywhere

>>17998495
where did you get the dupe? is it something like parfumdreams? ive been using a similar dupery in my country myself
>>17998505

>>17999305
prada amber pour homme (dont let main accords fool you)
>>17999739
probs she really liked you talk to her next time and ask her out

Do you guys really get random people to talk about your fragrance?
It's so rare for me. But reading these threads makes it seem like you get comments on your fragrance daily, like "oh today 3 girls complimented me for xyz"

>>17998517
Not when I switch every day. Sometimes I’m getting something nice and woody, the next day spicy, the day after bright etc. it’s a little treat for each working day or when doing something social. I don’t generally use frags when at home though except to sample my vast 1-2ml collection, my home smells nice on it’s own, so I guess those are my break days,

>>18000822
Usually only get compliments from people I’m physically close to for some period, either friends/colleagues or people like my barber or a manicurist (yeah I get my nails and hands pampered lel). I don’t really live in a country where somebody would stop you to ask what you’re wearing.

>>18000826
Yeah same. Maybe it's a culture thing. It's so rare to get anyone to comment on your perfume here.

Which fragrance would he wear?

trying out Kaszebsczi mech again, almost out of my sample. maybe I should have bought a bigger decant. it's kind of expensive now

>>18000822
where i live that would be considered totally weird except if it's coming from a person you're close with.

>>18000840
careful bro someone's gonna call you a copeing poorfag

Has anyone ever tried any of the relatively recent Reyane R2B2 frags?
They seem pretty interesting all around, plus they supposedly have the most advanced atomizers out there with some "laser spray" tech or whatever

It's sporadic, but just last month alone one guy asked me what I was wearing that it smelled nice (Polo blue), then a few days later another one came from the middle of the gym to ask what I was wearing. Said I filled up the room and it smelled great (TF Ombre Leather). Foids love cheap fragrances though. I was suppose to give a group presentation and one of the girls commented she really enjoyed my cologne (It was Pacsun Atwater I got for like $20 lol)

Wore my BDC Parfum for the first time in a while yesterday, first 2/3rds of the fragrance is still great but my god the amberwood/tonka dry down is SO sweet, when the fuck did this happen

New haul just came in
>DHI
I enjoy the smell and its pretty good, however I will be honest, DH2020 is much more masculine and smells better. DHI leans more unisex, I will try it out and see how the females react to it.
>Terre D'Hermes Intense Vetiver
This smells great unlike the original which smells like dirt and sweat to me. Pretty good office scent. The vetiver smells real nice
>Eau Sauvage Parfum
Smells excellent, Hypermasculine but not too Old school. I will be using it in formal events such as weddings where I think it will really shine

>>17999755

>>17999755
>>18001115
just use common sense, don't be a cretin
it's a cologne, there's nothing offensive in it, good for spring-summer-fall, performance is good but not nuclear, kind of old-school (so maybe don't use it if you are underage)
conclusion: yes, it's good for school/office

>>18000257

Red still might be for you. I was also hesitant at first (because I don't like the leather notes in most frags) but when I was able to smell it, I knew I had to get a bottle. It's a different blast from the past. Ted Lapissdus pour Homme, however, is something I wish I had never smelled.

>>18001100
I wear Eau Sauvage Parfum to work (but also DHI). I've attended a lot of weddings, but that still doesn't mean that it was more than 20 of them. You'll never finish a bottle if you just wait for such rare occasions.

>>18000754

I don't know what that is, but I have a perfume shop which sells inspired by dupes. A lot of them. I also bought creed aventus and aqua di gio profumo from there and they smell nice and last nicely, around 6 Horus

>>18001428
I like it too homie. I didn't like it at first, smelled like an old man frag. But after like an hour it smells much better.

>>18000627
Do you own imagination? I've seen some reviews saying it's amazing, others saying it smells like toothpaste and soap.

does anyone know of anything like yves saint Laurent libre?
