Did you love or hate it? I really wanted to like it but last time I smelled my sample the leather note brought me back to being travel sick in a hot car as a kid, somehow. Kinda sweet too, was really expecting more of an Iron Duke flanker.

been some time since i sniffed it because my sample just has a few drops left and i cant find a bottle, but it's probably the best rose i've ever smelled. the notes are fairly accurate, the rose is both rich and metallic. there is also some warmth to it, but not really smoke like in beauforts. closest thing i can think of right now is sohrab where it's also more of a warm fire rather than smoke
too fucking bad it was limited/discontinued

As I uncapped the gorgeously made bottle of Dior Homme 2020, I was gently accosted by an olfactory symphony that dared to challenge the very fabric of my scent perception. This was not merely a fragrance, but a sensory expedition into the avant-garde world of scent artistry.

Dior Homme 2020 does not simply sit on the skin; it merges with the wearer, becoming an indistinguishable extension of one's persona. The top notes of bergamot and pink pepper are not merely a frivolous introduction, but a bold declaration of intent, a gustatory evocation that signals the commencement of an audacious journey.

The heart notes of patchouli and elemi unfurl like a haute couture gown on the skin, presenting an aromatic narrative that is both complex and paradoxically minimalistic. It is an ode to the modern man – strong, unapologetic, and innately elegant.

The base notes are where Dior Homme 2020 truly reveals its audacity. The synthesis of vetiver, musk, and cashmeran is nothing short of olfactory alchemy. A delicate balance of earthiness, sensuality, and warmth, it lingers on the skin, a testament to the fragrance's exceptional longevity.

Dior Homme 2020 is not simply a fragrance – it is a sensorial manifesto, a daring exploration of the boundaries of masculine fragrance. It is a challenge to the status quo, a fragrant embodiment of the modern man's evolution. For those brave enough to embark on this olfactory odyssey, it promises to be an unforgettable journey.

>>18001603
DH2020 is the best of the lineup. It's pure class without the faggy iris.

>>18001603
>>18001616
>cont.
As the lingering tendrils of Dior Homme 2020 continue to envelop me, I find myself in a state of euphoric intoxication. This is no mere scent-induced pleasure; it's an olfactory rhapsody, a symphony of the senses.

The scent is a masterful blend of notes that not only tantalizes but transports, whisking me away on a whirlwind journey of sensory exploration. Each inhalation is a deeper dive into the intoxicating world that the perfume conjures; each exhalation, a reluctant farewell to its enchanting embrace.

The bergamot and pink pepper top notes are invigorating, sparking a rush of exhilaration akin to the thrill of a champagne toast at midnight. The heart notes of patchouli and elemi unfurl, their earthy tones grounding me, even as the scent sends my senses soaring.

And oh, the base notes! The intoxicating blend of vetiver, musk, and cashmeran is akin to a sensuous slow dance, its rhythm weaving an intoxicating spell that leaves me lightheaded and yearning for more. The scent lingers, a silent serenade to the senses, its residual whispers a gentle reminder of the olfactory odyssey it has taken me on.

Dior Homme 2020 has not simply left me intoxicated – it has left me captivated, ensnared in an aromatic allure that I am all too willing to surrender to. It's a euphoria-inducing journey, a fragrant nirvana, a testament to the transformative power of scent. I am intoxicated and receiving an almost orgasmic sense of pleasure, indeed, gladly so.

>>18000629
My sample is so much creamier, the animalics have such a bigger presence and the other florals come to the stage. The bottle has a much bigger focus on the mint and green notes, and the lavender dominates the other florals.
>>18000633
Maai is going to fuck you up for sure. The opening was the most harsh thing I'd ever smelled. But it was still addicting. Now it's a favorite. It's a really wonderful demonstration of the honey qualities of civet. It's brightened with sharp aldehydes supported by florals. Everything Gardoni does is dirty.

>You can only choose 3 fragrances for the rest of your life.

Well?

If anyone's smelled Edo Modern incense by Nippon Kodo, tue incense burner is alright and worth the money but the incense unburned smells like an incredibly sexy perfume that mogs expensive designers and niches alike.

If anyone's smelled this please give me some recs on what perfumes resemble Edo Modern.

My thoughts are that Jeremy maybe has a undisclosed illness and that's why he is always talking about Jesus now. Maybe he doesn't have long to live. That or some kind of drugs. Maybe he's on to much oral minox and it's bloating the fuck out of his face. He went from a admittedly very good lookin guy to in the span of a few years. Well i'm not even going to say it. I'd feel bad for him if not for all the fucked up shit he did.

I just ordered a bottle of Haxan, experiencing excitement.

Im almost 23.
People think i look 16.
I get the 16 and under discount on the bus without asking.
I took one school lesson at 21/22 to up one grade and my 16 year old classmates refused to believe i was 21/22.
My daily perfumes and seasons for them are;
1 Million by Paco Rabanne (summer and spring)
Bad Boy Cobalt by Carolina Herrera (year round)
Lost Cherry by Tom Ford (spring and early summer)
Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford (autumn and winter aswell as certain evenings if i go to bars)
Gold Blend Eau De Parfum by Ralph Lauren (year round)
Wood by Dsquared2 (only when hiking)

These scents generally fit really well on me. So im really curious, and its a stupid question maybe, but do you guys think these scents make me appear/feel younger, older or dont change anything about how people nearby me perceive me in terms of age?

OVERRATED TRASH, worst Chanel male fragrance
Dior Sauvage is better

>>18001901
Babyface trumps fragrance, sorry.

>>18001900
Doesn't project much (which is a good thing) but the smell is green, fresh , humid , natural and glorious.

Yeah, I was huffing my sample with so much love I figured I’d just cave. Total photorealistic countryside spring morning. Especially since it’s not being made anymore and Prin had about 19 bottles left.

>>18001909
You’re never gonna be able to find a fragrance that makes you physically look older, dummy. Try growing a beard or something or just accept you’re gonna get carded until you get a bit older.

>t. former babyface who was carded until he hit 30

>>18001917
Not physically look older, just not give off a teenage vibe when up close

>>18001919
Encre noir definitely doesn't do that :)

Smells like oakmoss in your path

>>18001913
Based taste

If you like pour un homme , try Caron impact, I think currently rebranded as the Parfum version of pour un homme, it opens more heavily with lavender and dries down into an amber accord instead of pure vanilla

>>18001495
If you can't think of a fragrance that might have more votes, there probably isn't one.

>>18001787
Go to the basenotes forum, they have an extensive section about DIY fragmaking. You can read some stuff about it and find informations about ingredients.

>>18001873
I'm pretty sure that is among the most expensive per bottle around here. I think someone had a lot of Roja frags in the past, but I don't know exactly anymore. As for my collection, I mostly wear designers, so it wouldn't be that interesting, but I wear them daily and have gone through multiple bottles. Also, part of my collection is regularly posted by someone else.

>>18001901
It has nothing to do with the fragrance. People think you LOOK 16, not SMELL 16. Fragrances aren't perceived with the eyes.

>>18001997
I've been meaning to try sel marin and cardinal

rate my 5x15ml Heeley set:
>Menthe Fraiche
>Cardinal
>Sel Marin
>Esprit du Tigre
>Coccobello

>>18002002
>>18002003
Cardinal is great, the its incense(?) accord is imo very similar to Tauer's ACDD
Sel Marin is a blind buy but i like both Acqua die Sale and Megamare so it should be fine

>>18001982
it's nice, though I got a bit bored of it because it's so simple. opens with a sharp citrus and dries down into a white floral clean sheet-like Neroli. performance is below average overall, but above average for this type of light Neroli scent. smells quality enough, nothing obviously screechy
it's 5$, so there is no real reason to not get it if you like the classic cologne accord but want a version of it that will hang around for a couple of hours

my favorite cheapies are still the two Laliques though, nothing else comes close so far. well, maybe Jaipur, but I prefer Lion for the rich grandpa vibe

>>18001938
It's always a bit weird to me when people say that because I have never bought a Chanel frag at full price.

Hey YOU, yes YOU, tell me a good every day fragrance like YSL Y EDP but less synthetic. No BDC, it should last. No barbershop scents too. Thanks

>>18002030
Nice discount.
In my country it's impossible to find Chanel frags at a discount, but their frags are so good I don't mind paying full price. I can't say the same for Armani, CH, PR, JPG, etc.

that sounds great, thanks for the rec! lavender is by far my favourite note so i'll keep an eye out
>>18001935
honestly, as much as I like NYI, it does feel almost redundant with lalique pour homme
i got the sample of NYI first, loved it so much I bought a 30ml bottle but then blind bought lalique pour homme
i love the opening of lalique, its redolent of my favourite shaving soap (martin du candre) with only the lightest citrus - i feel the salient bergamote note makes the opening of nyi feel brighter - but they both dry down quite similar
that said, i'm not mad at having both and consider "NYI" a more refined fragrance and save it for special occasions, which is a nice association to have in itself
>>18001957

here, chanel is only sold through their own stores and kiosks at the two biggest department stores. even on boxing day, their perfumes were not marked down at all. if there is even a 10% sale, that's all the justification i need to buy antaeus, platinum egoiste and pour monsieur

>>18002212
>Why are they all in bags like dismembered corpses anon?
supposed to keep oxidation somewhat in check. thinking about buying a wine fridge.

Is Mancera Cedrat Boise good for you

>>18002445
It's a heavier Aventus, same citrus-musk smell but not as fresh like Aventus, more dense and leathery.

>>18000736
This just came on Wednesday and it’s fucking amazing. He also had his discovery set back in stock so I picked that up. The roller balls are weird, but w/e.

Also, only tried Targhee Forest so far, and only the first 5-10 minutes, but it’s a lot more floral than I was expecting.

>>18000909
Really weird to make “dazzling garden” purple.

>>18001262
Curious as to what this >>18001402 anon said as well. The Bianchi DNA isn’t bad, but too similar between frags for me to warrant getting any more than 1 frag by her.
I should go back and re-sniff my Black Knight and Sticky Fingers samples.

>>18001463
Give us your Pineward favorites, maybe give me some motivation to get off my ass and start testing my 40 samples.

>>18001873
I really need to organize my frags a little and take a new pic, but I’ve been procrastinating while I wait to finish buying bottles. Still waiting on Tauer, Ganymede, and something sweet gourmand.

>>18002450
>Give us your Pineward favorites
1. Murkwood(dark smoky churchy incense)
2. Bindebole(very dry woody with some hops smelling twist)
3. Coastal Veil(a piney take of Oud Minérale)
4. Greymist(finnish sauna, meditative, green, pine sap, dry woody)

>>18002438

More leather, heavier on the musk, more suitable in fall/winter, less citrus.

Is there any frag that has a apple cinnamon smell?

Just had a funny experience today. Had the GF over and had her try some of my recent haul because fukit why not.

To me, Hiram Green’s Slowdive has a distinct cinnamon scent with a faint floral note in the background, overall enjoyable, but she hated it, didn’t want it near her nose.
I laughed and said “You think that’s bad…” and grabbed Hyde for her to smell as well which she unsurprisingly reeled away from.
>Side note
I love Beaufort London, and even though I fully recognize it’s a special occasion scent, I do like and enjoy Tonnerre, despite the tar and smoke.
So I grabbed my bottle for her to smell and we both take a whiff and she’s just like “Oh, that’s not too bad” and of course I agree. I haven’t smelled T-Rex (yet) to compare, but I would argue Hyde is even stronger and more… bituminous than Tonnerre or possibly T-Rex.
>TL;DR Hyde is stronger/“worse” than Tonnerre, maybe T-Rex too.

The weird plastic ones suck, but are you sure that the new bottles come with that cap? It might be an older bottle

I've never smelled Steamed Rainbow but something tells me it isn't a gem. Based on what you enjoy you would like Notorious Oud

I bought it directly from the Rogue website. Can’t say for sure, but it seems unlikely it would be an older style.

>>18002567
I smelled this once in my local niche store, and while I’ll admit I don’t remember what exactly it smelled like, I remember I didn’t care for.

Hey /fa/ I could use your expertise. I'm looking for. colonge for this weather (Tri-State Area), that I can wear on campus that will get me laid/is attractive to women. So far my pic related has done a good job, but I'd be interested to know your most complimented fragrances by women. Thanks a lot.

Using Guerlain heritage EDT today. It's very woody and spicy and a bit sour. Does feel dated and reminds me of the smell of old catholic churches.

I binge bought several bottles of Guerlain cuz I saw them really cheap (30 USD for 100 ml) and don't know what I'm going to do with this one and with L'Instant EDT.

I started to use habit rouge or l'homme ideal EDT when I'm going to bed. My gf likes them and I do too but they don't last so I wouldn't use them when I get out of the house.

I am also waiting for Caron pour un Homme and H24 EDT to arrive.

What do you do with bottles that you don't want to finish?

i love the mass appeal generic cheap stuff

Recently got into '80s'90s Powerhouse fragrances I came across quorum a long time ago as a young guy and obviously didn't like it but Lapidus, DN, Nautica, Obsession, Cool Water, Aspen all amazing. Now, tell me, is Neroli Intense worth it? I have Bvlgari Wood Neroli and it's as intense as an 80's frag with a really overpowering Neroli that's honestly pretty nice in hard summer.

Thoughts on Kenzo Homme EDP or Moschino Toy Boy?

>>18002778
Based.

And also, if you wear something well, it won’t always be the same impression a woman gets compared to smelling a random test strip. Sometimes a unique scent highly compliments a confident personality. Encre Noire is based

It's a funky vetiver and in no way as mysterious as described.

>>18001463
I recently got both bigger and smaller samples of both, interested in your take.
I find After the Flood wearable, but only because it dries down kind of basic, bit sweet & earth - lily also makes it a little bit feminine.
Pale fire is nice, but again a generic warm amber frag for my nose, with the slightly obnoxious whiskey note added in & dries down kinda basic.
Others I have just sniffed, not worn, all seem to have that specific smokey note, which seems a bit much - but I suppose that's the concept. No strong opinions yet.
Most of what I got samples of Pineward smells like various degrees of air freshener - Boreal is literally Orbit Sweet Mint - and I don't mind them, but I really wouldn't call them fragrances.
Maybe both lines are true to concept, but not for me exactly. They are smells, and I find it cool to have a smell conjure imagery - expands the brain & the nose - more like an exercise or experience.

No one told me if I should by Bleu Noir For Him EDP
Does it smell like sex

>>18002863
Kenzo Homme EDP is genuinely the most interesting designer aquatic in years
not sure if I like it enough for a full bottle, but it is something unique for sure. weird salty marine leather and akigala. it's a very strong performer too

which al rehabs are good

Is Rasasi Hawas office safe? I blind bought it based on reviews, but might wear it for going out rather than for work. I wore Perry Ellis 360 Red at my last job, and it got me compliments despite having a mild projection. Will this be too strong?

basing what you wear off of the likelihood that someone will compliment you is really pathetic and sad

nobody posts a hat and says “b-but will people tell me they l-like it?”

compliment yourself you faggots

>>18003006
yeah I don't get it either

>>18003003

Yes, if 1 spray from 1 meter.

People love synthetic smells. Natural smells are pathetic.

Thoughts on picrel?

>>18002766
Inspiration.
Most people here talk about specific fragrances... Idk what they smell like, why do I care? They also try to appeal only the one...
I personally don't like ugly people who smell nice. I hated them

PDM has a bad reputation, and largely for good reason, but I just sampled Herod and it made me fucking cum

>>18002752
>is Neroli Intense worth it?
yeah it's like 6? bucks
it's cheap first and foremost
projects for an hour maybe 2 and it's a skin scent for about 4 but it's a nice neroli with some supporting notes definitely lighter than the bvlgari

>>18002732
>What do you do with bottles that you don't want to finish?
Fragrances I actually grew tired off but still liked became room "fresheners". If they didn't have dyes in them, I'd spray them on the wall, if they had I'd spray them on fabric I can easily wash (shower curtain, pillow case, that sort of thing). Last but not least I have sold and traded bottles on parfumo, but the viability of that might depend on your country. In Germany, it's easy. For other countries you can check basenotes, fragrantica or some facebook groups, idk. I don't have any fragrances I hate because I don't blindbuy, and I have also traded/sold samples I didn't like on parfumo.

>>18002739
Going to a store and sniffing stuff, because fragrances have nothing to do with the way you dress. You can't see in a mirror what your nose will agree to.

>>18002741
Absolutely based and even at 40 sprays I need more time than that. Probably because I rotate fragrances too much.

>>18003001
Dakar and Dakar only. Champion Black is also acceptable, a weird Cool Water GIT Fierce Legend mix, but not necessarily good. Performs well, though.

>>18002732
I really thought I'd enjoy Heritage more, but there's just something about it that turns me off. I prefer Zino or Lalique Lion

Just admit you have no taste at all and move on.

Chicks love skinny jeans and rom coms you should stock up on those too I guess.

>>18003280
Encre Noir smells like a hospital cleaning product. Still enjoy it though.

>>18003295

About to pull the trigger on this. Anyone here own it?

>>18003280
It's not. Women hate encre noir. It's well documented. Only fragrance nerds like it.

yesterday's sotd: ted lapidus pour homme
today's sotd: jacques bogart one man show

My mom says she likes Encre noir and I'm a handsome boy.

What would Jeffrey Epstein have worn, I think some niche obscure ultra potent oud

>Bianchi DNA isn’t bad, but too similar between frags for me to warrant getting any more than 1 frag by her.

A few of them smells libe variations on the leather/iris dna and feel redundant unless you love leather, others have little in common. Although I'd like to see her venture off a little from her style, something more classical fougere-y. I had more hope for libertine neroli, a touch more oak moss or lavender would have been nice

>>18002752
>Neroli Intense
Great cheapie, but don't expect much it's just a light fresh neroli.
And if you like 80s stuff you have to buy Bijan, it around $30.

>>18002982
here it is again

Has someone tried this

>>18001925
This smells like fucking garbage, I've bought a sample of it I don't know how people can like this smell, to me it feels like I'm smelling some meat on a supermarket

>>18003564
I blind bought the 10mL travel size
Smells pretty limey but unfortunately the coriander comes out STRONG and that shit smells like hot dogs to me
Probably gonna bench it and bring it out only for hot days

>>18003569
I heard people say it smells like a summer alcohol cocktail
Have you tried Pacific Rock Moss as well ?

A fragrance to attract eastern european women?

>>18003564
>>18003572
I own a full bottle of it and plan on using it this summer as my high heat frag. Never enjoyed any blue frags and this is a nice replacement.

Also have a sample of the PRM, it’s okay, it leans way harder into the moss than it does the aquatic side, but it didn’t wow me.

>>18003292
>projection
I don't watch fragrance youtubers, sorry faggot. I own EN and it's objectively terrible smelling. I have yet to meet one person IRL who actually likes it. That obviously bursts your fragile ego. There is a reason why it's ~$20. Because the people who are selling it are having to drop the prices so low just to get rid of it because no one in their right mind would buy it any where close to MSRP.

>>18003621
not him but you sound real mad

encre noir more like stankre more amirite lmao

>>18003621
>Nooo I don’t get compliments this is objectively bad
Clearly you’re the one with the fragile ego being so dependent on the validation of others. If other people don’t like how I smell then that is their problem. You literally couldn’t fathom living like me.

As for Encre Noire it is pretty inoffensive dirty vetiver. It is fine. You don’t have to like it but calling it objectively bad shows you’re just sort of a casual. Truly divisive fragrances might make you shit your pants. You got filtered at level 2.

>>18003671
you sound real mad too

>>18003671
Once again, you are projecting. I'm not worried about being a "casual" where you have to project that you're some cunty snob. I don't like the smell and I'm noting that most others dislike it as well, and especially women. If your goal is to keep women and other people in general at a distance, EN is perfect for that. Go cry about it to your imaginary girlfriend.

>>18003457
Drakkar Noir.

>>18002567
Funny you should say, to me my Notorious Oud sample smells like a toned down Uncompromising Sohan, and I do love Sohan.

>>18003691
yes I’ll fuck my “imaginary girlfriend” in animalic leather that would make you cry and sneeze blood faggot

there is no “objectively bad” because I don’t base my taste on the validation of others. You never tasted freedom like this boy. That is all.

Next time just say you don’t like something. When you start bringing up what random women think you lost the argument before it started

>>18003003
Hawas makes me feel nauseous. Smells like a cheap car freshener.

>>18002732
>What do you do with bottles that you don't want to finish?
I use them as "air fresheners" or I "test" them by spraying them on paper strips.

>>18001233
You need to update this if you're gonna keep posting it. Sorry chud. It's 2024. There's been a lot of new frags since pre-pandemic

>>18004071
You've sampled it? From what I have seen it's pretty hard to get right now.

>>18004076
Yeah its available in my country. Got a tester, it smells greenish when sprayed but quickly turns into a light coconut smell. Just rub yourself with coconut oil if you want that kind of smell

>>18001915
>Especially since it’s not being made anymore and Prin had about 19 bottles left
Sounds like good investement. It's probably going to increase in price in 1 year a lot given that it's the most popular Prin frag.

>>18004100
It's not, mriga is the most popular.

And it's a shitty investment. In a year not many people will want to buy it, maybe in ten years and the return won't be a 100% ,

I wore encre noir today and a bunch of high school girls I walked past laughed at me hysterically and said "did you forget to shower this morning". I'm into humiliation by teens though so it's okay.

>>18003650
Got'em

>>18004248
I wasn't ready desu

Just sampled picrel. I need to know why every zoologist fragrance has a similar sweet/musty smell to me, maybe it’s the fixative used or some vegan/chemical ingredient to replace what’s used in most mainstream frags I’m sensitive to. It loses it quicker than other Zoologists I’ve tried and turned quite inoffensive but kinda normal cheapie suede smelling.

>>18004264
Then forgot to attach picture cause I was busy sniffing my arm trying to smell ice or juniper or pepper or anything in the notes.

>>18004266
zoologist makes meme fragrances for fat vapelords who have several onlyfans prescriptions

>>18004272
Is that the only way to enjoy these? Sucks, I love the bottles, ideas and art. I don’t know what that sweetness is but it’s annoying, I can smell it over what I think are good scents in his other fragrances, like Squid, but that horrible sweetness is so bad.

Thanks bros but after some rabbit holing I’m going to go with Tom Ford Oud Wood Parfum when it comes out in March.

what is the best perfume to attract zoomers

>>18004289
don't let the shills and circlejerkers get to you, with Tom Ford you're mostly paying for the brand. definitely don't get too hyped for a fragrance that isn't even out yet. there are many people either talking out their ass or being paid to talk out their ass online

if you don't know what type of woody fragrance you'd like, go to a store and sniff around. try some stuff like Terre d'Hermes, CDG 2 Man, Bleu de Chanel, maybe Guerlain Heritage before making your decision as to what kind of woody fragrance you want

Mid tier, liking the scent
Elite tier, liking the bottle
God tier, blind buying because of the name

>>18004289
Try a sample of DS&D Bowmakers, it’s got an amazing rich masculine woody spicy resinous scent.

>>18004289
Does Tom Ford have anything to do with the brand anymore?

>>18004314
nope, he sold it. as evident in their latest releases - all upcharged flankers and uninspired, safe stuff. the brand has no daring creative direction anymore

>>18002341
I study fragrance chemistry and I'd recommend you sample some aromachemicals from a good supplier. Pure natural oils will perform like shit and smell completely linear. Look at musks to suit your style and work those in. Good luck.

Any non-tobacco fragrance I wear makes me nauseous

Question for the thread - What are some minor details of bottles that you love?
I put on some Bleu de Chanel this morning and was reminded how much I love magnetized bottle caps. Only ever see it in the bigger designer brands (at least of my collection) but there’s something so satisfying about setting the cap back on the bottle and having it snap itself back into place.

>>18004419
*Facepalm*
I would post this right at thread cap. W/e, will repost next thread.

where is the new thread

New to all this but im curious. What kind of shampoo/conditioner etc do you guys use if you wear frag? Does it matter, the cheap stuff like axe etc feels very stinky and i reckon it would clash quite a bit? Do i just use regular marseille soap then?

Also id like to smell like i just came out of the forest i.e moss, pine maybe, woody, leafs. Any recs? Thanks cunts

>>18004471
I use body shop ginger shampoo/conditioner, usually smells quite mild and pleasant and it’s nice on my scalp, which gets flakey if I use regular deug store shampoo. Just spray a frag on your hair once it’s clean, honestly, it’ll likely override your hair product.

NEW THREAD:

>>18004471
Here’s the thing man. Unless you’re using And extremely Fragrant soap, it doesn’t really matter. You could start buying unscented products, but the change isn’t all too noticeable, especially If the fragrance you’re wearing is stronger than creed aventus.

in regards to your fragrance, you should check out slumber House. They make a lot of coniferous fragrances that smell very green and woody. If you like that kind of stuff, you should probably check out slumber House Norne.
