In a recent study published in The Journal of Human Behavior and Social Psychology, researchers have delved into the intriguing possibility of a connection between cherry consumption and sexual orientation. Led by Dr. James Reynolds of the Department of Psychology at a leading university, the study aimed to investigate whether individuals' preferences for cherries correlated with their sexual orientation. The research involved a large-scale survey of over 5,000 participants from diverse backgrounds and demographics. Participants were asked to indicate their level of fondness for cherries, ranging from "strongly dislike" to "strongly like," as well as to provide information about their sexual orientation. Surprisingly, the study revealed a statistically significant association between liking cherries and identifying as homosexual. Among participants who expressed a strong affinity for cherries, a higher proportion identified as gay, lesbian, or bisexual compared to those who reported a dislike for cherries. Dr. Reynolds commented on the findings, stating, "While our study does not establish a causal relationship, the observed correlation raises intriguing questions about the potential underlying mechanisms. It's possible that there are psychological or cultural factors at play that influence both taste preferences and sexual orientation."

Eau Sauvage vs Pour Monsieur?

>>18046812
fresh and sweet is what they say they want to smell.
Which is true, they'll smell nautica voyage and shit and be like "yeah this smells good"
Things like lavender and musk is what gets them going under the hood though

>>18046809
Yep, sure is a looker.

>>18046822
The 75ml LpH is even more kino

How NYI compared to LpH btw?

What's the best beaver's asshole smell?

>>18046780
lalique and zino are favourites, but your selections definitely lean towards autumn/winter
perhaps look into something more suitable for spring/summer - houbigant duc de vervins or rogue bon monsieur
>>18046823
i find NYI to have slightly more depth than LpH, i think just owing to the construction and having more notes working in concert. but both are very good!

anyway i'm probably going to offload the last 6 here - but based on what i have already, what should i replace them with?

>>18046830

>>18046812

First of all, shut up.
Second, fragrance only gives you, at best, 1(one) point of attractiveness on the 1-10 scale. For most it's going to be a 0.6

>>18046843
To me, most of them smell the same, extremely sweet and synthetic, probably because it’s vegan perfume and they refuse to use anything that ever went near a living animal in their frags. Everybody loves T-Rex for being freaky though, so respect to it.

>>18046867
this guy fucks

I am very sure that there's a guy in this thread that shills shit perfumes like Drakkar Noir, Fahrenheit and Kourous on purpose and shits on good perfumes like YSL LNDL, CAHSEE and so on.

>>18046823
pretty different openings, but they dry down similar. NYI's opening is more like something between Chanel Pour Monsieur and Habit Rouge, Lalique's opening has a touch of this more modern citrus accord and lacks the fluffy petitgrain, there is a sharper rosemary note instead. drydown is similar, but NYI has the clove and a touch of animalics, while the Lalique has cedar. I would say NYI evolves more and probably has a bit more going on overall, but Lalique sure competes damn well with it for something that's 10x cheaper

>>18046872
this, but switch them around. in fact, I know there is one guy here shilling LNDL Bleu Electrique lately. admittedly there is also a Drakar / Dakar shill, but he's not into Kouros or Fahrenheit AFAIK (non-optimal tranny attraction factor I guess)

What’s a frag that has a really intense realistic rosemary note? Feels like every time I try one that promises it the note is really buried.

for me, its moschino toy boy

>>18046875
Nah, Fahrenheit is great, i own it.

does that count as hate speech or what

apart from the performance, what's the difference between Allure Homme Sport and Eau Extreme?

>>18046929
imo they are not that similar, tonka is way more prominent in CAHSEE
also don't be stupid and test them for yourself in all bigger frag stores around the world

i am going to ask my crush out today. wish me luck bros

To the average superficial fragrance shill everything with a drop of lavender is automatically similar or identical to Drakkar Noir. It's an insult to compare Sausage Elixir to Drakkar Noir.

encre noire wins again

after watching and reading so many reviews it's safe to say that they're all bullshit and it's better to not trust them. Especially if it's a niche/unknown fragrance, a reviewer that is super into the hobby will have such a different nose for it than a common person and is more likely to be full of shit. They'll smell literal dogshit and praise the aromatic accords of the beetroot from the dogfood that manifested itself in literal shit. i wish they would get more of the public's thoughts on the fragrance like Jeremy does but not fake as hell.

>>18047023
a genre of videos,yes; you'd know if you were in the community or something

>>18047025
There’s no way you’ll ever get a genuine recommendation based on visual and audible mediums, the only way frag reviews will ever be useful aside from entertainment is if somebody invents full spectrum smellovision for YouTube.

>>18046631
>t. A poor person.
Real rich people get something they don’t need to reapply and spend time making money instead of spraying shitty frags.

>>18046843
As >>18046849 and >>18046856 said, a lot of people don’t think highly of them, I have never smelled a single frag by them, but plan on buying their full discovery set (eventually) just for the experience.
I expect they’ll be like any other brand where there are a couple big hits, but most are mid or subpar.
Also, people shit on it a lot, but I do like their animals in clothes branding.

>>18046867
I’m almost done going through my full Pineward sample set, I was a little hard on him to start with, but the more I test the more I like.
Ironically, I think all of his best frags are the tree-adjacent stuff, not the literal “Bindebole” or “Akero” etc. stuff.

Are perfumes the species of /fa/ autism that gets the least respect from normies?

>>18047220

DYLAN BLUE:
The straightforward and pragmatic type of guy. Maybe a bit basic, but he sure knows how to get the job done when conducting business. Although not so much of an attention seeker, Dylan Blue is the kind the guy who discreetly walks among the crowd, only to be noticed by those who directly know him. There is a good chance that Dylan Blue is a family man; with a blonde wife and two adorable kids.

EROS:
The energetic and fresh type of guy. He loves showing off his charm and grab the attention from onlookers. Eros is not afriad of what others may think of him. He is also quite a visionary, often times having crazy and creative ideas flowing in his head. He has a sweet tooth as well, with a particular liking for mint-flavoured candies. Eros is a bachelor man. He loves living the single life while partying with his friends and enjoying wonderful times together.

>>18047265

>>18047268

well that's quite the understatement

what smells like a day at the beach? sea spray, hot sand, sun baked driftwood, etc.

>>18046951
Every non niche, under 100 bucks fragrance smells like artificial fucking dogshit to me. I know next to nothing about frags but I know enough to say stuff like Terre d'Hermes, Chanel Egoiste, Antaeus, Eternal smell like crap.

>>18047303
will report tomorrow. I have a maritime background so I really hope this smell good. Might be my first bottle. That or the cowboy larp lel

>I know next to nothing about frags
We can tell if you think fragrances like Egoiste or Antaeus smell "artificial" compared to the flavor of the month "niche" fragrances made by some brand that's just a marketing construct using the same synthetics and perfumers designers use.

>>18047352
It does, but bleu de chanel is better

>>18047387
Azzaro Pour Homme Chads, Guerlain LIDGE Brads... We stay winning.
Really though, who's making all these bullshit studies with a base of like 1000 people and tenuous criteria for measuring anything?

>>18047422
Indeed. Definitely the best value pick in this NYI / Bois du Portugal "classed up creamy fougere" style

what light, flowery or fruity perfumes for foids (or unisex ones) do you recommend?

>>18046923

https://youtube.com/shorts/UPe6C6dFaqk?si=FqaYSeTXwd2DUybL

>>18047497
Turin’s ratings hinge too much on originality points, he ends up giving good fragrances meh reviews because something similar was made 20 years ago. Yeah, if you have Scent A from 1980 and Scent B from 2014, and B is samey but just a little better, it might not be revolutionary from industry viewpoint, but why would it matter to user who is thinking about what fragrance to wear?

>>18047428
Cypriol honey oud vanilla tonka, these notes are too heavy. Looking for something fresh

>>18047360
Maybe good old Fahrenheit?
As far as modern stuff it's a bit harder since the modern leathers tend to be sweet. But you could try AdP Colonia Leather

>>18047497

>>18047538
Cuir cav is fresh. I can vouch for the frag. Was my daily driver for a couple months after I finished my bottle of Invasion Barbare.

>>18047459
Oh, you're being a pedantic faggot here, Anon.

>>18047500
Because scent b from 2014 is likely not better. For example Guerlain vetiver >> grey vetiver. Zino> TF bdj

here is his review for future reference (4/5):
>I remembered Egoïste as a beautiful but slightly watery pastel confection of candied fruits and low-key woods, and this one surprised me. I’ve never smelled Bois Noir, from which Egoïste was derived, but I suspect this is closer to the original. This is now the most Guerlain-like of all the Chanels, full of thyme, lavender, and other herbes de Provence, a sort of Jicky spiked with Antaeus and rounded off with Bois des Îles in the drydown. A perfect alternative to Mouchoir de Monsieur, sprightlier and less dandified. Go easy when wearing it, though: this is strong stuff. LT

>>18047561
I don’t know, maybe because a bitch made it when historically noses were men? I personally like guerlain heritage and Davidoff Zino more than nyi

>>18047621
Get your head out of your arse. I’m talking about vintage bottles of Zino and heritage. I like the civet in zino and the Mysore sandalwood in heritage. They too are ‘’masterfully blended and perfectly balanced.’ Nyi is nice too, just redundant with what I already have so I don’t miss it.

>>18047258
>>18047628
meant this, sorry

What will have changed in a frag that has been unopened but is 10+ years old sinec it was bought?

>>18047658
most likely nothing

>>18047658
Not much. If it's really old and opened it will usually lose some top notes, but unopened after 10 years it should be the same

>>18047717
Nta, but if by open you mean sprayed, why would it change?
The tiny amount of air in it?

>>18047463
Carnal flower. it's like crack for women

>>18047755
Yeah some of the compounds will start oxidizing. The more air there is in the bottle, the faster it will happen.
But it usually still takes decades for the change to be significant.

Walked by the store today, sniffed Femininite Du Bois, Grey Vetiver and Un Jardin Sur Le Nil. First one is feminine indeed, reminded me partially of Samsara but also cola.
Grey Vetiver is bretty gud. A bit pricey for a classic vetiver though. Jardin is pretty damn nice, green and tropical in the classic Ellena watercolor style. Might pick it up for the summer at some point.

Is this supposed to smell like Chanel No 5?

what should I expect?

>>18047954
disappointment

>>18047959
oh...why? people seem to like it....

>>18047954
Why are you forcing this?

>>18047975
what

Thinking of buying my brother a fragrance for his birthday and I was looking into the Guerlain line.

He has a big affinity for fresh and sporty greens like Millesime and Allure Homme sport, any recommendations within that line?

>>18047354
>>18047550
I like these bantz.

>>18048006
I think they did some fresh flankers for l'homme ideal.

I have habit rouge prige and it's great. I'd love to get l'instant too

>>18048008
Thanks anon I'll look into those

>>18048009
Meant to say "Prive". It's not a freshie though but it is really nice, citrus and leather.

>>18047954
I'm worried I made a mistake now... Wanted something I can wear in most occasions that smells Interesting but also attractive.

>>18048012
That smells good enough don't worry about these faggots

Also tarkovski one of the goats

>>18048014
thanks anon, do you have that one? yeah I love stalker. need to rewatch Andrei rublev soon too...

>>18047616
>>18047621
how does Chanel Allure homme compare to Bleu De Channel?

>>18047245
Close, but runway designer queer statement fashion shit will always be no.1 normie repellent
I would say fragrances being no.2 since your average man only wears axe body spray with dior sauvage being max and reserved for "sophisticated" clubbing metrosexuals

>>18048018
I have a few samples, most people like it, personally I don't but because there are some synthetic undertones that I cannot stand, probably a persona problem..

All the people that I gave to try liked it tho

>>18048019
BDC is more fresh and masculine like cologne

>decade since its release
>STILL the ultimate panty dropper
why do women love musky fougeres so much?

>>18048025
the fresh musk reminds them of a recently washed crotch

Why do women get involved in Men's fragrances? Is it just a money-making thing for social media types, or are their genuine hobbyists for collecting Men's fragrances among women. Do they wear them themselves or just collect?

>>18048025
The fucking goat. Seethe, fraggots

>>18048029
I remember when some men thought it'd be genius for them to wear female marketed perfume due to it being designed to attract female consumers. I wondered if there was any truth to it.

>>18048025
shhhhhh keep it down

>>18048025
is it supposed to be musky?
i didn't notice.

>>18048025
*blocks your path*

>spray into air like I see some people do
>smells like pure alcohol

dropped a bottle of the only perfume I've been using for years on my bedroom and now I can't stand the smell anymore
what's a good alternative for daily office use?
>no citrus allowed

>>18046718
This smells like I'm in a hospital room with a rich burn victim, and I have to pull the plug in front of his family.

>>18048067
So long as you’re the sole beneficiary of his will.

>>18048065
bottle of iso e super

>>18047939
yes, it shares the powdery iris-vanilla base, as is typical of the Chypre genre, a traditionally feminine style of perfumery of course

Perfume bros, our queen has recommended us another Arab perfume

>>18048065
>accidentally nuking yourself
The worst. Girlfriend smashed a Killian decant the other day and it stank so badly for weeks.

>>18048052
oh boy cant wait to smell like shit because some dutch-moroccan tattooed slut told me it smells sexy

>>18048006
try Guerlain Homme or L'Homme Ideal Platine Prive

>>18048079
I’d shill for them for thousands a video, too.

>>18048082
>>18048079

>>18048082
Keep malding, anon.
>>18048087
True.

>>18048065
>no citrus notes
I wanna help you but you're making it hard.

>>18048018
>>18048012
I haven't smelled it. Andrei Rublev makes me think of Encre Noire a l'Extreme. And, well, Incense: Zagorsk since that's supposed to be "Orthodox Church: the smell".

honestly though maybe I should smell the new Boss Bottled, the "smells like" section on Fragrantica with Sausage Elixir, Grand Soir, LADDM, This is him and even goddamn Salvador Dali Pour Homme sounds interesting

>be in gym
>train hard as fuck
>Sam Sulek core
>spot a white couple
>white dude constantly look at me, probably interested how i train
>his GF recognize his interest in me
>his GF, a pale blonde btw, literally lurks everywhere were i train and stare
>felt bad for white dude he literally acted insecure by then
Why are white couples like this? Sotd Percival btw

holy shit he went crazy on that one. is it really that good

>>18048098
speaking of frags and movies, LADDM is a perfect fit for Dune

>>18048109
>Haha it says desert on the name and the movie has a desert planet

Literally the association that a three year old would make, laddm doesn't smell like the desert at all

>>18048113
it's not even the desert, it's the spice you fucking idiot

>>18048115
Not him, but smell like an arab, kek. Not even me want that.

>>18048116
keep on malding, no one cares

>>18048109
There's already a perfume called Dune, retard. You humongous fucking retard.

>>18048120
I'm not the one cursing, have sex btw

>>18048065
could try Dior Homme Original. also heavy on the iris but less soapy and fresh enough for daily usage I think, even though it has some gourmand touches with the cocoa
alternatively, maybe something like H24? it's kind of soapy, floral and sweet too

>>18048123
shit, I think I saw a tester for Dune at the store today. these are a rarity nowadays, I should come back there at some point and try it out

>>18048104
white boyfriends are most insecure people you'll ever meet probably because of all the interracial porn and girlboss tiktok bombarded against them

>>18048127
>Jules

I wear it to the office. My wife doesn't like it.

is musc ravageur worth the hype?

Is there any summer fragrance that would be sweet but in a tasteful way? I mean, besides Chanel’s Allure Homme Blanche, which was nice (yet not mind-blowing), but I’d like to have more options.

Seems like summer fragrances are always either marines (I have enough of them), fresh citruses (ditto) or light fougeres (also ditto). And when you want something sweeter, it goes pretty fast into overly sweet Le Beau etc. social media meme territory.

>>18048164
who cares about hype? wear it if you like it

>>18048168
try guerlain homme edp

>>18048168
Versace Blue Jeans is decently balanced
Prada L'Homme I find to be quite sweet
if you want classy and old school, you could totally go for Habit Rouge. or the fresh flanker from L'Homme Ideal for new school Guerlains

>>18048164
i like the dua clone

>>18048173
>>18048174
Now that you mention them, I really shouls check out L’homme Ideal series, I don’t have anything with almondy notes as of now so it could be interesting and different enough to justify purchase.

>>18048190
they're kind of "Guerlain does modern gourmandish date frags" I guess. better than the vast majority of their competitors honestly

>>18048190
l'homme ideal is a bit too mainstream for my taste but still nice

>>18048135
Don't watch porn, fellas

>>18046718
Montale/Mancera mogs PdM in every imaginable way
>original compositions not copies of designer scents
>doesn't aspire to be anything that it's not unlike PdM's tryhard faking history and brand image by a hired PR team
>plenty of stellar offerings that changed niche fragrances forever vs. just uncreatively tweaking up designer scents that have been available for years
>unmatched performance of almost every scent vs. just above average performance of some scents if even that
>embraced fully use of synthetics to make great modern scents vs. bullshit marketing blurbs about PdM using natural ingredients despite using the same synthetics as Montale/Mancera (e.g. oud used by both is the same Firmenich's synthetic oud note but PdM Sales Assistants always say some shit about it being collected in Cambodia lmao)
>reasonable pricing, cheaper than most of designers vs. absolutely unbacked by anything price premium
Yup, PdM is the biggest shithouse in the 'niche' category.. At least Creed/MFK have some original scents in their offerings.

>>18046718
the other day i had the sudden thought that it would be so cool to smell like a school gymnasium. walking up to someone and they get a wiff of such a strange, not necessarily pleasant, nostalgia triggering scent. i feel like it would be surreal to encounter. almost disorienting.

after a little research it seems unlikely that anyone has bottled the distinct school gymnasium scent. but i now want something along those lines, disorienting and out of place on a human being. possibly nostalgic? something that would make me do a double take and look around for a source if i smelled it in public. here are some ideas ive thought of, though im open to alternatives as long as theyre along the same lines.
>wet paint
>strong chlorine, like an indoor pool
>plaster
>bleach
>sunscreen
>elmers glue sticks

im not a perfume nerd, i wear fairly normie scents most of the time, i would appreciate you peoples help on finding something like this, the idea of smelling out of place and strange has really taken root in my brain

Today I learned I am anosmic to ISO e Super (or at least the variant in EM M01).

Lack of fragrances for this feel?

Bachelor party this weekend

What /frag/ would you lads wear as

>>18047658
le labo says 2-3 years max and only if you keep it in the fridge. make of that what you will.

>>18048012
It smells good but to me it's a nightime winter only fragrance. I wouldn't wear it now that were hitting spring/summer

Paid almost $150 for a bottle of the Boss Bottled EDP only for it to last like 20 minutes and be a skin scent for the next 4 hours, or I'm incredibly noseblind. Shame since I really like the Boss. Maybe I'll give the elixir a chance.
I bought a tiny thing of Versace Eros to try out, too for nights out.
Any recommendations to wow my normie GF? She liked the Boss.
I'd also like other, more general recommendations ($200 max) for someone who is just now upgrading from Axe body spray.
Also, is Chanel No. 5 a granny scent or nah? I thought it'd be a nice classy thing to get my GF but I dunno. She just wears a bunch of bath + bodyworks shit.

Tell me about this, I've seen it posted on here, is it worth it?

>>18048446
ysl y edp

>>18048340
>what gave it away
probably the ysl lndlh

What are your thoughts about Dossier’s dupes?

>CdG Hinoki
>CdG Kyoto
>CdG Zargorsk
>CdG Avignon
thoughts?

Gonna buy

>>18048108
>is it
no, but it used to be

>>18048512

>Avignon
beautiful but doesn't last long enough imo. benchmark wearable liturgical incense

>kyoto
nice but nothing too special to me, smells less unique than avignon but probably even more crows pleasing

>>18048098
I'd love to smell zagorsk. Yeah the "smells like" section is weird. I've never smelled Sauvage Elixir but I'm hoping it doesn't smell like regular Sauvage.

>>18048138
>My wife doesn't like it.
What ethnicity is your wife?

>>18048284
I think my ex was also anosmic to it. She could barely smell Terre d'Hermes.

>>18046951
This is the worst perfume for a young, attractive man to wear. Please, do not wear this if you want to attract us with your smell.

>>18048446
>Also, is Chanel No. 5 a granny scent or nah?
I think many young women don't like it, the prominent aldehydes can smell very old school
If you want to buy her some classy classic, I think Shalimar has aged gracefully, still a really beautiful scent. I also like Dior Poison

btw, did you pay retail for that Boss Bottled? IDK what the prices are like in the US, but here in Europe you can find it at discounter sites for as low as 50$. it's like this with many fragrances, no real reason to buy most of them at retail

>>18048604
don't worry, Sauvage Elixir smells nothing like regular Sauvage. it's more of a superpowered modernised spicy fougere

>>18048667
there's only one person in this thread who wants to attract transsexuals

>>18048667
It's not, it's actually in the same vein like Sauvage, fresh, citrusy, peppery, more sweet than Sauvage.
Guerlain Vetiver is for based vetiver enjoyer.

>>18048663
>what ethnicity is your wife?
A celt

>>18048680
honestly IDK what it is about Terre d'Hermes but I can vouch for the stereotype that it tends to be loved by men and not so much women. all the women I asked about it were kind of indifferent to it
meanwhile, it's the only scent I really get complimented on, always by men

not that there's anything wrong with that, just makes it the perfect workplace scent for bonding with your boss or for hanging out with your friends. not everything in life revolves around women, fragrance doesn't have to either

>>18048666
I think I am also, wanted to buy tdh but I can't smell anything after like 20 mins. also that molecule number 1 thing smells of literally nothing to me. probably explains why I feel like so many frags have 0 longevity

>>18048692
Mutt or pure?

lads what makes a "gentleman's fragrance"?
post some good examples

>>18048712
typically I would think of something a bit old school, reserved, subtle, not screaming for attention
the lighter chypres like Eau Sauvage or Pour Monsieur fit well, as do the classed up barbershops like NYI or Lalique Pour Homme

>>18048722
yeah I'd say it's clean, not aquatic, usually with some herbs or masculine florals. minimal animalics, nothing offensive but also not trying to be mass appealing with too much sweetness. usually not considered "sexy"

>>18048693
I'm a man and was disgusted by this fragrance, smells like sweat mixed with dirt and sand. However I do enjoy their TDH intense vetiver

>>18048712
the gentleman wearing it

>>18048747
This, a man with an appropriate aesthetic can wear Axe and people will perceive his scent as gentlemanly while an ugly fragcomm geek can wear 300 dollar Baltimore Intense that's been highly rated by Giambattista Trieste and it will still come across as geeky stench.

>>18048340
>Yes, I like overpriced and overrated fragrances with poor performance. How could you tell?

Sotd Guerlain habit rouge leau. It’s ready hard to beat these $20 cheapies. Absolute peak value fragrances. Habit rouge leau is a streamlined version of habit rouge. It uses orange and jasmin instead of lemon and rose. It’s fresh as the name of the fragrance insists.

>>18048448
There's nothing I wear more in summer than this.

wearing gucci by gucci

just got this one
damn smell fresh
not sure when to wear it though

Should I get Eau Sauvage for spring/summer? Any better for that vibe?

This summer i'm gonna bust out the rasasi hawas again

>>18048065
i use H24

what's your spring rotation lads?

>>18048799
>Colonia Club
>Aventus
>Essenza
>Santal Volcanique
>Eros

>>18048801
eros? for spring?

>>18048799
kouros, fahrenheit, youth dew, quorum, dali pour homme

>>18048802
it's pretty all season i find. it's definitely unlike the others, but i like to have one, inoffensive, all-purpose frag in the rotation

>>18048806
how is Quorum? i always see it mentionned with other very masculine, old-school frags

>>18048799
l'eau dissey
pacific rock moss
eros flame
mont blanc explorer

to be honest my spring rotation is the same as summer. Though in the summer i use the first 2 more

>>18048790
Eau Sauvage is a classic, but performs like an Eau de Cologne to my nose
Cerruti 1881 is in a similar vein and performs much better on me. not the same by any means, as it has prominent rose, cassia and pine, but the effect of "citrus and green aromatic top notes, floral heart, refreshing and calming" is the same
Boucheron Pour Homme is similar to 1881, but with a heavier base and not as refreshing, so I don't think it fills the same role as Eau Sauvage

>>18048818
even the Eau Sauvage Parfum?

>>18048815
>eros flame
isnt that a bit too spicey for spring

>>18048822
not really, its not spicy anyways. Opening is very citrusy and the drydown is vanilla citrus

>>18048821
No the Parfum is strong as fuck. But it also smells completely different to the original for me. It's quite sweet, heavy on the resins, I think there's even some unlisted vanilla in there. It's not really refreshing at all, more like resinous lemon candy.

>>18048809
i like it a lot and its dirt cheap. very similar to eucris

>>18048406
Marketing scam

>>18048753
>Overpriced
>Overrated
>Performance
>blah blah blah
I hope you get laid one day

>>18047658
Probably nothing if you have stored it in a cool and dark place.

i HATE fougere

Is Guerlain Vetiver blind buy safe if you like vetiver?

Holy shit this is really good..Decent blind buy for me and cheepie

>>18048927
Pretty much, does what it says on the tin. TdH Intense Vetiver is better value though, at least in Europe

>>18048744
That’s really weird considering Vetiver is going to be the most “controversial” scent in there.

>>18048747
Such a great truth in a succinct statement. For the equally correct but TL;DR version see >>18048752

>>18048406
>>18048846
The same way bread companies tell you never to refrigerate bread.
>It will ruin the fresh taste
Bullshit. It will make it last longer than a week or two.

>>18048969
I already have Terre d'Hermes EdT. Is it similar?

Guerlain Vetiver costs €67.70 for 100ml on Notino.

>>18048995
that's a good price for the guerlain. you're lucky, notino doesn't even sell guerlain in my country

Whats the most you've ever spent on a /frag/?

>>18049073
>>18049073
>>18049073

>>18048780
So what's it smell like, besides just listing the notes

>>18049072
bought my wife unum lavs for €175. luckily my taste is for older stuff so it's usually a bit cheaper

>>18046815
You shills are lazy as fuck today
