New thread flanker

Just sampled 11 frags by Serge Lutens and, my God, not only are none of them offensive and outright bad, they all perform what they promise and are actually very good. Especially Bleu, Ambre Sultan, Fem Bois, Tour de Fer. It's a genuinely good and thought out but very basic line up with some unique signatures. This is what fragrance should be like. I don't want to smell your awfully mixed and shitty interpretation of xyz super popular frag. I want a great selection of high quality frags and something more special. I'd be fine if you only had special frags if they had a reason to exist. In this line up the more unique frags stand out because the other stuff is so interestingly orthodox.

Would love to try Fille en aiguilles, Chypre Rogue and the Lavender as well but they don't seem to offer samples on the website/I haven't found any samples on other sites. Bar some sold out 5ml minis on Etsy.

fragrance is only for misshapen and misbegotten, hunchbacked and clubfooted, dwarf and bastard powercels who can't tolerate their own vile odor.

anyway, my favorite frag is Mitsouko EP. do with that information what you want

Any arab scents with creamy musk? Vintage Radio seems to be great.

Kek, imagine walking with your gf and she just gets wet looking at some other dude that height mogs you. This dude would get ignored of he was 3 inches shorter

do chicks dig instant crush or cedrat boise more?

>>18049085
Yeah, it's a good, consistent brand. Definitely much better than most of what is marketed as niche nowadays.

Cedrat Boise

just tried prada candy and it smells 90% like prada lhomme. what the fuck... thank god i dont own lhomme

>>18049075
It's very watery with some fruitiness which makes it smell incredibly fresh and clean and delicious, but not in a gourmand type of way where you'd wanna eat the fruits. There's hints of woods and moss in the drydown which makes it lean masculine, but not much.
Picture a super clear lake surrounded by tons of fruit trees. That's what it smells like to me.
Performance is pretty good for a freshie, but overall the scent profile might be pretty boring to some. It smells really good but not at all exciting. So if you want to stand out by smelling unique or special this probably isn't for you.

Mousse Illuminee and Bon Monsieur back in stock at EN

I just noticed that unlike most companies, Montale allows for you to order a customized sample kit with the exact fragrances you want. What would be the best 5 to demo?

>>18049121
I'm not saying the height doesn't matter, but it is the handsome face, the fit physique, and the sleeve of tattoos as well. If you took away any of those, including height, he wouldn't get the same looks.

>>18049149
Smelling fresh and clean sounds good to me. I get some compliments from a cheapie like nautica voyage, especially after a shower because it's so fresh and clean.

>>18049166
You forgot that he heavily oversprayed Cedrat Boise

>>18049183
most of those girls were mirin before they would have gotten close enough to smell. Sillage doesn't project ahead of you generally.

we have a Cedrat Boise shill now? that shit smells like skittles mixed with liquid BBQ, it's horrible
even the trannyfucker knew that Loewe makes the better Aventus alternative by far

one frag to rule them all

>>18049073
Hey guys, I want to get a gf. What fragrance should I get?

>>18049191
Yes, all time favorite
>>18049189
Loewe esencia edp isn't that creamy musky, sadly

>>18049195
blind tests have proven cedrat boise is most popular with females, so i'd give that one a shot

>>18049189
he's gonna shill any piece of shit to get the tiniest bit of attention now

>>18049202
Nah, only fougeres and musky mossy fruity scents are shill worthy

>>18049195
anything by Montale the more oud the better

>>18048995
Shit I misread, I thought you were asking about Grey Vetiver
Guerlain is good for that price. It's a bit more challenging than more modern vetivers though, very dry and earthy and with a tobacco nuance. But if you love vetivers, I think it's a good buy.
TdH Intense Vetiver is more like Grey Vetiver than it is normal TdH

>>18049172
>nautica voyage
is literally the only fragrance I've gotten compliments on lol. Sort of annoying but it is what it is

>>18049248
>get pussy
that was the intention at first but now I just like to smell stuff

>>18049245
My favorite vetiver is Malle's Vetiver Extraordinaire. I like vetiver frags where you can actually smell the vetiver. Which one is more similar?

>>18049248
I like both

>>18049274
I haven't tried that one. I'd go for the Guerlain though, since it's the fragrance that popularised the "all-in uncompromising vetiver" genre and is a useful reference point. Definitely worth the 60$.
Givenchy Vetyver could also be worth a try, it's less available though.

>>18048799

h24 edt or edp?

>>18049300
edp has a nice mossy opening, but then it becomes just a thicker, sweeter version of the edt, which I don't really like that much
the Herbes Vives is also worth a try. despite the notes, it's kind of like the EDT mixed with Un Jardin Sur Le Nil to my nose

>SOTD Fahrenheit

>>18049303
Heard some good things about Herbes Vives. Does it still have the metallic accord?

Why are there so many weak frags? Seems like anything that has under an "ENORMOUS" sillage rating on fragnatica becomes a skin scent in under an hour unless you spray the shit out of it. I test if I'm projecting with another person so I'm not just noseblind. Seems like the better the frag the worse the projection too.

>>18049165
Bengal Oud

>>18049329
The fresher and the more organic the ingredient, the faster it seems to die. That’s why citrus freshies last for couple of hours max, and montale/mancerashit lasts for aeons because they are composed like chemical weapons.

Solution? Take the montalepill and buy Mancera Red Tobacco.

>>18049329
believe it or not most heterosexual men on this planet earth aren't obsessed with fragrances to the point where they need a 12 hour arab oud chemical weapon

Serious question /frag/ could I get arrested for public indecency if I were to pour an entire Montale bottle on me and take public transport?

>>18049363
please do this

>it's a male reviewer fills his collection with gourmands episode
oil yourself up for me dawg. I assume that's what your going for- attracting men by smelling like chocolate cake and donuts

>>18049367
Gourmand hoarding is kind of silly. I mean, I love gourmand scents myself, but if you already have couple of those, when are you ever going to actually use all of them? I never found any problem in having a large roster of regular ”daily use” scents, BdC, AdG Profumo, Aventus and its clones, vetivery stuff etc., because it is fun to rotate them, but the gourmandiest stuff is so hard to use unless you have dates every evening or just like to smell like rum and vanilla at home.

Not that there’s anything wrong with the latter, but still.

>>18049363
No, but I would scent you in the air and head to your location so I could throttle you. Your noxious fumes mean I die alongside you.

>>18049367
Unironically this attracts women if you smell like realistic pastries, cakes etc. She’s gonna be sniffing the air trying to find the bakery, but it was you, DIO

LMAO got a decant of Sauvage Elixir today, sprayed it on a paper strip about 10 hours ago (1,5 sprays, the initial one was weaksauce as usual with new atomizer), left the strip in my kitchen, and now I can catch scents of it in my bedroom.

OK, I’m not exactly living in a mansion, but what the hell? I even like the scent, but where could I ever use that? Too fucking loud for office, I prefer something bit less aggressive for dates, so is it just supposed to be used to reassert your dominance in assorted public spaces?

>>18049377
How about spraying half a spray. Also, scents react differently on skin than they do on clothing/paper. Some sample paper strips will last for a week+

>>18049377
do you think skin behaves like paper, huh fucktard?

>>18049380
Yeah, trying it on skin is on menu this weekend, just couldn’t do it today because I already had other scents to try. It’s possible that it becomes usable on skin, but still, I’ve never seem a strip radiate scent so far before, usually lighter fragrances become armslength scents and typical strong performers have a bubble of couple of meters at this point.

At least now I know what I will recommend to >>18049329. Even if it becomes less monstrous on skin, there’s no way that this isn’t the strongest non-Montale frag I’ve experienced.

>>18049382
Calm down.

>>18049385
Yeah, that does seem intense if you could smell it from the other room. Spraying from farther away also spreads out the scent, or so I've heard.

>>18049377
Sauvage Elixir, congrats smelling like pic related

Should I get a back-up bottle of Mongolian Mriga bros? I feel like even if I don't end up using my current bottle up it could be a good bargaining chip for trades later down the road

Im looking at AdP Colonia Intensa, but curous to see if there's other better options out there to try

Really like TdH line, but undecided as whether to get the EdT or the Parfum?

Which fragrance is this?

>>18049377
>>18049385
Ignore the people bitching about skin vs tester, while it’s true the two are wildly different, your initial interpretation is correct - tester strips usually have lower projection but *wildly* longer longevity, I’m talking weeks to even months if it’s something really strong.

And yes, Elixir is loud af, it’s basically an outdoor only frag, a kind of alternative clubbing frag, or as you said, assert dominance frag.

>>18049460
Just keep in mind most if not all AdP frags have mid (at best) to poor longevity.

>>18049476
I always recommend the EdT, it punches way above its weight class for an EdT, but it really just comes down to testing them yourself.

>>18049645
Sotd Cedrat Boise, gets the kosher girls

>>18049476
EDT is good and performs well enough, so I didn't feel the need to pay more for parfum personally. Scent wise they are very similar with only minor differences, you can try smelling them side by side if you want to be sure.

>>18049327
I'm not sure, if it is there, it's toned down. The metallic accord is strongest in the EDT

>>18049248
i like scents
i like pussy
no strong relationship between the two
(btw the last compliment i got was from a 40yo woman for TdH)

>>18049274
start with the Guerlain and go from there

>>18049300
all three of them

>>18049327
imo not that metallic (it's mainly green) but test it for yourself

>>18049329
the problem is probably your skin or your nose (no offense)
i can get even decent performance from frags that are panned as "weak" on fr*grantica

>>18049363
you will be arrested, registered as a chemical weapon and then dropped on Isr*el/P*lestine

I agree with the anon recommending half a spray. Dior atomizers are amazing for precise dosing, you could even do a quarter spray if you wanted

Posted in the other thread this blind buy because everyone says it smell like Dior Elixir for 1/3 the price..Really like the bottle and the smell but the longevity at least on my skin is bad,either that or I get oldfactory.Drydown is like baby powder. I'll buy a sample of Elixir to compare

>>18049717
Reviews say it's a female version of Sauvage Elixir

Aight boys, got a 100 euro coupon as a gift off this fragrance shop and what not and gonna spend it today. Got some new clothes too so i'm feeling it lately. Which should I get that stays a long time and isn't revolting when the main purpose of it is having girls cope with my ugly ass face when i smell so good they would consider?

>>18049721
>having girls cope with my ugly ass face

That's many clones for you. People blind buy them, hype them up to convince themselves it was a good purchase and that it's "totally 90% similar bro". And in this case if the clone is a weak performer, then the nuclear sausage elixir would have been better value in the long run

Just admit it, this is SEX in a bottle

although there's some differences, what would you go for as a daily, all-purpose frag?
TdH EdT or Eau Sauvage Parfum?

>>18049809
TDH Parfum is more modern. EDT is dated.

Which fragrance is he talking about?

>>18049816

https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Orto-Parisi/Cuoium-69923.html

>>18049809
I would prefer TdH EDT. I think Eau Sauvage Parfum could get tiring when worn every day, especially in high heat. it's a little too sweet and heavy for that IMO
TdH is a bit more fresh, so better as a year-round scent
>>18049811

Well you can eat clean healthy foods. That makes your body odor smell good. Also try liquid chlorophyll supplements. Cleans you out and gets rid of odor from the inside.

use at your own risk:
as an experiment I tried spraying encre noire on my pits after a shower instead of deodorant. 24 hours later I can't smell anything but a cypress tree when I huff my pits. Literally can't smell any BO if I tried. works better than deodorant desu

>>18049857
I would recommend not spraying parfum on your armpits for health reasons

Not a regular here, but a year ago there was a nice dude with a garden shtick to match Bree from the Desperate housewives... If he or any other planters are still here any inspo for indoors sexy stuff to rotate and plan throughout the year? I am already onto a big pile of hyacinths, lilies and will try to get heliotrope, winter jasmine and tuberose.
I recently smelled the oils used in Les Indemodables and found them to be better than the final compositions, especially rose one, so I am really in the mood for touching the grass with 3d flowers instead of chasing smelly waters.

>>18049940
This is basically a non sepia CK Obsession ad.

I am a massive SL fan you should jump onto Bapteme de Feu, Le Participe Passé(Chene on steroids) while they are still easy to find as they have got discontinued, also the ones which have been moved to the bell jars from the 50/100mls.
Bell jar lavender is kinda too bitter and herbal to me and not much incense and the new version Gris Clair is very nice, slightly le male lavender and a hot iron pressing on a clean shirt smell, sadly haven't smelled the old one in 50ml format.
The sexiest stuff is hard to get:
Borneo 1834
De Profundis
Pre 2010 Iris Silver Mist
Sarrasins
Also their at home line may be interesting and easy to get dirt cheap. Mesk el-lail is like a sweeter and happier Fils de Joie.
Parole d'eau is also worth looking into from the easy to find ones.

>>18050021
Interesting, it's on my watchlist because it's listed as creamy on Parfumo, but reviewers described it as overly sweet
>>18049981
Good question, maybe the anon above can elucidate.

>>18049981
they're not too similar
test them and decide for yourself but i think you can do an Allure Homme (fall-winter)/AH Edition Blanche (spring-summer) rotation with them

>>18050036
Its slightly creamy, the opening is very lush pineapple. Its a strange frag, as some days I get mostly pineapple/suede and other days its birch. I was so-so about it at first but now totally in love.

Can someone recommend a cologne with similar notes to pic related? It's basically "babe, I only fucked your friend because I thought it would bring *us* closer together!:" the scent. It is douchebaggery made manifest in olfactory form, and I fucking love it.

>>18050192
I think it smells great, only thing that sucks is that a LOT of people wear it and you can always tell because of the sillage.
But scent wise I like it and its performance is great too

I feel so fucking blueballed by Herod. Got a decant, tried it on me with usual 2 spray tactic, and it becomes a skin scent in under 2 hours. Not everything needs to be an all-day lasting experience, and I like what it does with tibacco, vanilla and cinnamon, but 2 hours are just too little, it’s downright D&G The One EDT territory.

>>18050316
>performance
This is a niche general, we are not concerned with performance.

>>18050324
>Herod
hahaha, serves you right

>>18050326
It’s a 2ml decant, so it’s not like I got hit by a huge financial loss here, it’s just always disappointing to experience a pleasing scent that is in practice unusable.

Why is Chanel No 5 still the best-selling fragrance every single year? Everyone I know hates it, and I feel as though you need to have a somewhat developed nose to appreciate it. Is it because the brand has become so strong people buy it even though they don't like or are there that many grandmas buying it?

>>18050399
Maybe the people you know are trash.

>>18050399
It has transcended the parfume world and became a general cultural icon. Even if someone can’t name any other women’s fragrance, they have heard about Chanel No 5 at some point and know that it is a classic status symbol.

I dont know man, sorry. I just frequent boards that have rather negative vibes.
I need something for the summer though because it feels a bit heavy for wearing in flip flops and hawaiian shirts

>>18050404
>I just frequent boards that have rather negative vibes
Is there any hobbyist board or general in 4chan that isn’t a mixture of elitism and self-loathing?

What are some good powdery leather frags? I have Dior Homme EDT and Givenchy Gentleman EDP.

The Dreamer?

Which one should I get?

Today was the first time I smelled Dior homme intense. What they say is true, it just smells like makeup. I don’t know why anyone would want to smell like that

Also H24 just reeks of banana peels

This is the second time I've gone into a store to test out cologne and holy shit I already hate the staff.
I know what a Toilette is
I am not offended when you call them "oriental"
You are not going to convince me that it's good "because it's Gucci"

That aside, what do you guys think of Eros? I tried this and Dylan Blue today, really preferred Eros. Guess this also means I won't like Sauvage that much.
Reviews say this is loud as hell and for fuccboi clubbers but it seemed pretty light to me.

>>18050442
try the flame eros too, personally i found regular eros a bit boring compared to flame

>>18050430
Shalimar or habit rouge

I got banned from the r/fragrance discord because I talked about Orientals etc.

How does this titty milk frag smell?

>>18050489
>Reddit discord
Imagine the moderation

>>18050507
Full of fags and troons, they censored everything, couldn’t even say gypsy water

Why are my local retailers sell plenty of popular fragrances twice as cheap as MSRP?

>>18050529
Because they're fake

>>18049248
Starting to get into fragrances and NGL i do wanna attract a girlfriend eventually. But honestly? Its also because of my line of work. Im a health inspector and I have to inspect alot of food joints so the last thing I want is to come home or back to the office reeking of hot dog water or fried ethnic foods.

So yeah frags help with that but ive also learned alot thanks to you fags. And i gotta say the charts helped. Got Oud Malaki although I still think that Halfeti should replace Oud Palao on the flowchart.

Side note. Picked up Penhaligons new Al-Ula. Wasnt impressed at first but i ended up getting quite a few compliments for it. Strong plum-winey notes and the incense came off as unexpectedly "clean"

>>18049248
>to "get pussy"
I haven't talked to a woman in 10 years

>>18050430
Depends on what you define as powdery. I got a bottle of Halfeti Leather and Penhaligons is rather powdery or soapy as its hallmark. The leather scent is rather restrained though, its not like arab oud bombs

>>18050579
same

>>18049833
what the fuck, is this Ramstein fragrance?

>>18050592
they have at least 5 perfumes out already

cant wait brehs

>>18050349
Apparently it's raspberry and patchouli scented.

Name the fragrance

>>18050593
Holy shit I had no idea

>>18050605
Incense: Avignon by Comme des Garcons

>>18050605
dior sauvage

>>18049248
I only care about scents. When I was a little kiddy my parents would get me essential oils for various reasons and it imprinted on me enough I collect them now alongside interesting fragrances. I love intense fresh lavender oils made locally and make my own rosemary oil. If I give it long enough I’m going to transform into the mc of Perfume.

Coincidentally I was also obsessed with this book as a kid. Don’t worry, I’ll distill that fresh virgin musk eventually lads

Why does sauvage elixir smell exactly like drakkar noir?

>>18050595
Immensity is Tommy Hilfiger Tommy clone
Ombre nomade is raspberry leather
On the beach is powdery neroli
Pacific chill is kiwi smoothie but my favorite
Imagination is fresh tea

>>18049073
Which is the superior fougere?

>>18050605
Unum - Lavs

>>18050760
I don't know because I've not tried sartorial. I have bdJ, it is decent but way overpriced imo

>>18050605
Heeley Cardinal

>>18050676
it doesn't (but the role they play in the perfume landscape is indeed similar)

YSL Y sucks

>>18050676
Please stop
>>18050760
Neither, Drakkar Noir is

>anon, I knew you were in the office by the smell of perfume

>>18050593
>>18050608
a lot more, they got 29 frags. majority is alright, especially for the price. waidmanns heil is basically bogart signature. sex is my favorite

Had a wet dream with an asian girl, give it to me raw: a fragrance to attract asian girls?

>>18050442
I don't like it but don't hate it. I'm wearing it today after buying a decant. It smells like something a young man would wear and now that I'm 30 and an oldfag, I don't think it suites me. If I found an exceptional deal on a bottle, I might buy but otherwise I won't miss it in my collection.

>>18050442
Eros has a nice idea, but I find it too synthetic to enjoy personally.

>>18050760
It really peeves me that no discounter holds Sartorial in their inventory in EU and the only bottle size is 100ml. Sure, I can (and will) try a decant of it, but it sounds like it’s right up my alley and once I confirm that, I’d rather have a full real bottle of it for use instead of continuing with decants for actual use.

>>18050442
Eros is okay, but I dislike the apple top note, it smells too much like shitty apple candy
have you tried the original Le Male? I feel like Eros was an attempt to create a successor to Le Male, but I much prefer the OG

>>18050573
good start, Oud Malaki is really great

what's a frag someone would wear to the strip club?
hard mode: no Joop Homme

>>18050955
Cedrat Boise

.

What would be the definitive male bottom fragrance? Highlighting male, because ”just use some female frag” is not an option, it needs to be something delicate and submissive but still decidedly male or unisex. Something that reminds you of a timid and cute twink, around 20 years old.

>>18050986
For my taste i enjoy floral/aquatic fragrances on females.
Sweet and heavy oriental scents are usually a thing for latinas, black, arab girls.

>>18049377
>>18049385
I'm the anon that complained about weak frags, ordered a decant of this yesterday partly based on what you said. Don't disappoint me anon

>>18050986
I guess Moschino Toy Boy tries to be that marketing-wise. I'd think of something like Prada l'Homme too
stereotypically da gays also love Le Male

>>18050324
Something wrong with your skin boyo. Herod lasts a good 9 hours on me.

>>18050760
Mousse Illuminee is the best fougere.

>>18051009
*Bon Monsieur

>>18051017
*Mousse Illuminee

>>18051007
Or it could be a bad decant, oxidized or something. On competition, I’m trying Spicebomb Extreme today, and it seems to last better, but it also feels disappointingly linear and there’s some spice (cumin?) that dominates the entire spectrum too hard, makes it feel a bit too Christmas-vibed. Herod feels like I could use it for all colder seasons, SBE feels like it’s only for the heart of winter.

>>18050986
Nta but a follow up on this question. I'm an actual faggot but I top exclusively. I love dominating twinks and getting head from femboys. What cologne should I wear if I want to project this?

What would be the ultimate "douchebag" frag? Like this anon >>18050293 describes:
>It's basically "babe, I only fucked your friend because I thought it would bring *us* closer together!:" the scent

>captcha: 8r4p

Be le Sauvage douche, overspray it and fill the room with ambroxan.

>>18051050
stereotypically heavily overprayed sauvage or something like that
even some normies are memeing sauvage as "the one for douchebag fuckboys" nowadays. heard a girl say that when I took her out to the perfume store for a sniffin date

>>18051038
>What cologne should I wear if I want to project this?
definitely Kouros. could also go for Tom of Finland or something

>>18051059
>Lorenzo Villoresi - Vetiver
No thanks.

>dry woods, oud and medicinal saffron
The saffron here smells similar like in Duro. Drydown smells like cough syrup. Love that stuff.

>If you want to have the best fresh fragrance, buy Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme

Our response /v/ bros?

>>18051018
>>18051009
I don't know if my sample set is fucked or what but I wore mousse illuminee yesterday and it was nothing but pure grape. Right after spraying, 1 hour later, 8 hours later. Pure purple grape soda smell and literally nothing else going on. No oakmoss, nothing.

I was particularly excited by all the comparisons this got to polo green but now I have no idea what those people are thinking.

about to finish pic related. do i get guerlain vetiver next or something else? i didnt like mon vetiver

>>18051110
Yeah, Mousse Illuminee smell somewhat foul to me. It's also more a chypre than a fougere >>18051018. So Bon Monsieur wins.

Happy St. Patrick's day, frags. Wear something with a lot of green notes today.

>>18051152
Get the sport one if you're under 30

>>18051055
I am gorgeous. I smell divine. Got any spare sweat on your person? Must be fresh, from just this minute.

Absolute best bang for your buck everyday gentleman's fragrance for a married guy in his 30s?

>>18051200
Just ask your wife to buy unisex fragrances.
I do it with my mum so i dont have to care.

>>18051200
Drakkar Noir

>>18051200
Ask your wife what she likes to smell, compare preferences, then come back so it can be narrowed down.

>>18051212
We both like Beau de Jour, which I own. The problem is I feel like the performance isn't that great ... am I just being autistic?

>>18051152
guerlain vetiver is pretty different
you could get the Extreme or Sport versions, they're both good

>>18051220
buy Davidoff Zino and apply 20 sprays

>>18051067
>Kouros

This has been on my list for awhile. I wish I could find a decant but I might just say fuck it and buy a bottle. Thanks anon.

>>18051227
The performance on zino is far worse than bdJ...

>>18049579
Davidoff Zino

What do you do with fragrances you blind bought but aren't partial to? I've been giving away misc ones as gifts.

other than pacific chill - which of the louis vuitton frags would you buy a full bottle of?

>>18051230
sure, but it's cheap enough that you can bathe in it

>>18049073
this frag is so painfully boring

>>18051236
Let it sit in my room and hope I suddenly like it after a few months when I try it again-- sometimes it works out. Currently have a 80% filled bottle of Le Labo Another 13 chilling in my room because I get nauseous when I smell it.

Why can women easily rock scents for men, but the opposite doesnt really hold?

>>18051256
maybe, if you're a flaming homo like that percolator guy from youtube

>>18050922
Ive had a sample of sartorial before, If youre in the EU keep an eye out from now till mid may, Penhaligons usually does a spring sale. Otherwise your best bet is ebay

>>18051237
fragrantica forums, or forums in your language/cunt, reddit or an equivalent

I'd wear my Green Irish Tweed but honest to god it just smells like supermarket Irish Spring soap.

>>18051238
this but sport

>>18051200
if you want something relatively cheap but well rated and oudy/tobacco, Oud Malaki by Chopan is a solid buy at $60 and you can order it on Amazon

Why do amazon and fucking walmart have the same designer fragrances at a third the price of the original manufacturer?
Is there some catch? These seem fishy but these are legit stores.

>>18050442
Is this the woke fragrance?

>>18051289
You wouldn’t happen to have experience with both Sartorial and Beau de Jour? I tried BdJ and liked it, it’s sure a rich fougere, but I also felt that it could be just a bit too heavy for daily use. The way how people describe Sartorial with that little honey/beeswax touch and ”fresh steam” in it makes me wonder if it would be an easier fougere to daily.

To be clear. I don’t think that BdJ would be too old-school or anything, I’m old enough to carry a fougere without worrying about ”old man scent” insecurities, I just wish for something bit gentler.

thanks anon, I've actually worn it before, it's nice. do you find those type of warm, spicy tobacco type fragrances are suitable for the office?

>>18051319
few things going on: 1) what volumes are those? 2) look up "grey market". It all comes down to how much control a brand has on its distribution. this is why you'll never find Chanel cheaper in one place Vs another.its all just Chanel price because they place a lot of importance on controlling their distribution
