Let's start this thread with the best frag of all time

>>18065211
Is there a better summer scent?

Tested pic related for the third time yesterday and it finally clicked but I don‘t want to dish out the cash for some garbonzo langevity.


Heard that Malibù - Party In The Bay is a good alternative with better sillage and longevity, but it‘s almost in a similar price range and I generally hate blind buying stuff.

>>18062567
best newbie move in these threads since forever. buy you could still sample these in stores
>>18062591
is it any similar to eau de nuit or eau de cedre?

Truly the darkest timeline. Also, what the fuck are elderly people supposed to do now? Buy it for retail? We're already cutting back social security, they can barely feed themselves and now zoomies are taking their signature scents.

nta but I ordered paco rabanne calandre today and you can't do nothing about it :]

When you consider that it's handmade using the finest ingredients on planet Earth, really it's underpriced

>>18065322
Yes, The hot new meme on TikTok is "old money" fashion. Which in fragrance basically just means shit that was popular 30+ years ago. There has been a major uptick in sales for old fragrances at all the discounters.

See it's a double entendre because she is recommending dark and seductive fragrances, but she is also dark and seductive. While Jeremy Fragrance, the number one Fragrance YouTuber, is clearly our guy and the King of this general, Willow ought to be our Queen, or at least Duchess. Like the notes in a good fragrance blend she has a complementary not competing personality and viewpoint.

Stop shilling your channel, William

>>18065327
What's funny is that there isn't a single fragrance that has been on the market for 30+ years that hasn't been reformulated dozens of times over. It's just not possible. Ingredients get banned, tastes change, sales drop to the point where they need to slash budgets. All the zoomies think their Drakkar Noir makes them smell like they just took a DeLorean back to 1984 when it smells nothing like it did back when people actually wore it.

>>18065325
actual fucking garbage

>>18065335
There also isn't a single 80s men's fragrance that doesn't smell like Bigfoot's dick. Easily the worst decade for fragrance. Absolutely disgusting.

>>18065321
>No reason
Except you can get Polo 3 times cheaper

>>18065335
>when it smells nothing like it did back when people actually wore it.
i wonder if you actually believe this or if you’re being an empty headed disingenuous retard on purpose.

>>18065333
Look at the fragrances she is recommending in the video, other reviewers have probably only recommended one of them.

>>18065327
You literally made that up

>>18065329
ok Wilfred

>>18065342
If you think the Drakkar Noir you bought at Walmart smells the same as the original formulation, you're out of your goddamn mind. Oakmoss was banned in the EU, granted that doesn't even matter because it was taken out of Drakkar Noir in the early 90s.

Choosing to get either Fougere d'Argent or Neroli Outrenoir

>>18065345
Go look up Habit Rouge on frangrancex right now. It's $100. This time last year it was $25. Why did a fragrance that came out in the goddamn 60s suddenly shoot up in price and popularity?

>>18065345
the old money thing is real, but all it really means is that zoomers are now buying ralph lauren and zara now makes pleated linen trousers. no one cares about “old money perfume”, and if they do, it means sneed aventus and PdM.
>>18065349
obviously it’s not the same formulation you dipshit, but the fact that you pretend like a materials restriction can’t be worked around with a bit of skill and act as if atranol free oakmoss hasn’t been a thing for a decade only proves that you actually are a retard.
>>18065351
because it was never $25, moron.

>>18065352
Yes it was, moron.

>>18065353
feel free to prove it anytime

>>18065352
>it means sneed aventus and PdM.
PdM was founded in 2009

>>18065356
that’s the point.

>>18065351
Zoomers on tiktok are fawning over pdm, xerjoff, bdk, crivelli, amouage etc. as usual.

>Reviews other YouTubers fragrance

You are like the definition of the Dunning-Krueger effect. Everything you say in this thread is so fucking retarded. You're honestly sitting here pretending the scent of Drakkar Noir is the same as it was in the 80s. You think this because you know nothing. Fucking NOTHING! Brother, people complaining about the performance and smell of modern Drakkar Noir is fragcom 101 shit. I genuinely get the impression that you have been into this shit for like a month. There's just no way in hell you can be so stupid.

>>18065357
No, it's actually 100% the opposite of the point.

>>18065358
Honestly fi they want an Old Money vibe, I'm surprised they don't go after Chanel or Guerlain. Both these houses have well-known classic fragrances going back more than a century.

>>18065364
>'m surprised they don't go after Chanel or Guerlain
The do go after Guerlain. It's what started the entire discussion

>>18065361

>>18065362
i don’t think you understood the point to begin with.

>>18065366

Nope. That's you. The point is that they are fawning over oldschool fragrances. Parfums de Marly is not that. At all.

it's cheap, inoffensive, simple, smell like you just showered.

The hardest thing about talking fragrance with people is getting them to understand that fragrance notes suggested by the brand is not a list of ingredients rosemary doesn't mean it has some synthetic rosemary in it apple doesn't mean it has some specific apple aroma molecule in it.
Its a list of suggestions of things you might smell when you sniff that shit, that's all.

If there are described as individual notes does that mean that particular note came from just 1 chemical or extract? If not, what is the difference between an individual note and an accord? Because I always thought accord meant it was a blend of different chemicals or extracts to give the impression of one particular scent.

DUA buys fragrance clone oils from middle eastern fragrance houses, mixes them with alcohol and sells them at a 100x markup. All his "original fragrances" are just two different clone oils mixed together.
Pic related the man himself in his "boutique "standing in front of bottles of arab clone oils (something he denies ever using) refilling an empty bottle of creed aventus with his junk.

>>18065416
>If there are described as individual notes does that mean that particular note came from just 1 chemical or extract?
No absolutely not

The terms are frequently used interchangeably regardless if that is accurate to the meaning of the two terms

Guy writes screeds about how ifra is ruining perfumery
Just kidding guys all my perfumes are ifra compliant anyways
Ifra actually bans some molecule thats central to the accords is MI and BM
He just quietly removes it so he can keep selling in Europe.

What's the sexmaxx frag?

What's a good vanilla fragrance for a male?I love the smell, but I feel like most of them are aimed at women.

>>18065429
he dropped the ifra is ruining perfumery shtick years ago. i suggest you do too, lest your autism consume you from being able to actually enjoy any perfumery at all, even if it has been reformulated.

>>18065439
>but I feel like most of them are aimed at women.
It's one of the most popular notes in all of perfumery, male or female.

Look for a frag with a heavy Tonka bean base. Versace Eros or Givenchy Gentleman are good choices. Alternatively, you could look at Pegasus by PDM, it's not vanilla or Tonka bean but the Almond note captures the same essence imo.

>>18065454
>you could look at Pegasus by PDM, it's not vanilla
Yes it is.

>>18065455
You're right, I just looked it up. I didn't remember vanilla but according to fragrantica it's almost 50/50 almond and vanilla. Id go with that.

>>18065436
Layton

can i wear this to office or nah

>>18065439
Spice Bomb, or most of the flankers. L'Homme Ideal or most of the flankers. 90% of Parfums de Marly fragrances. Naxos.

>>18065466
only if it's less than 1095 days old

>>18065466
only if you want to smell like you came straight out of 2018

tets

>>18065466
Depends on the office. It's an extremely popular signature scent for a lot of people, but it's strong enough to be noticed. It's not some kind of clubbing scent that's going to fill up the room, but people will notice you're wearing something

>>18065466
Is your office in NYC?

>>18065473
you failed

>>18065466
I don't see why not

>>18065474

>>18065470
i dont get it
>>18065472
i dont mind smelling something that used to be very popular (or still is?). I enjoy the smell but I don't want it smell very 'invasive'
>>18065476
No. Western Europe. But we are a lapdog here for American trends, so I occasionally smell BR540 and Santal 33 in public. Never smelled it at my office before though
>>18065479
How come? I thought that Santal 33 can be a polarizing scent

>>18065481
you won’t smell invasive, you’ll just smell like a basic trend hopping bitch who missed the bus on br540, and you’ll also smell bad, but thats besides the point.

>>18065481
>How come? I thought that Santal 33 can be a polarizing scent
It's polarizing in the sense that some people are going to smell it and say "why would you pay $300 for this". But it's not really the kind of thing that is going to make half the people you encounter vomit and shit themselves like Kouros or Habit Rouge

rate my first niche buy

>>18065486
>like Kouros or Habit Rouge

>>18065481

>>18065486
>>18065490
thanks anon! it's mostly women wearing fragrances at my office, often more subtle and especially in the morning you can smell it. How many sprays do you guys usually apply when you go to work?

>>18065503
no need to smell like shit buddy, have you tried smelling perfumes that weren’t from 2 trend cycles ago?

>>18065498
Yeah, kinda. It's another one of those fragrances that's been reformulated to hell and back and one of the common complaints is that it doesn't last like it used to. If you like that scent profile and don't mind funding Islamic terrorism, you could look into L'Aventure Knight by Al Haramain. It's a clone of Green Irish Tweed and it's longevity is pretty shocking

>>18065503
>How many sprays
No more than two or three with that one, with two being the better bet.

>>18065468
mAssTiGe

>>18065523
yes, those are masstige garbage, thank you for pointing it out

>>18065503
It depends on the perfume. Something like BdC like 10 sprays, sauvage elixir 3 Mac but that's not an office sent, just giving an example

>>18065503
>How many sprays do you guys usually apply when you go to work?
it's totally dependent on the perfume itself. some will project a lot, while others won't.
if you're worried about it, you can go the safe route and do 2 sprays, one one each side of the neck. i also usually do one spray on top of my hand so i can check the projection.
beyond that, you can do a spray on the back of your neck, on the front, on your shoulders, etc. it's a matter of personal preference at that point

>>18065503
Depends both on culture and fragrances used. Let’s say that you live in a country where people often use strong fragrances - go wild, but because I live in a country where most people don’t use fragrances on daily basis, I’m careful and use 1-3 sprays. 1 for those rare hyper-performers, 2 for regular performers and 3 for weak-ish ones.

ive been buying dupes like this from local "french inspired perfumeries" here in eu, there are many in my area
i usually place order for like 20+ frags to get discounts, samples, sometimes a box with a few bottles free of charge (if its holiday season). my last order was 26 frags for ~85$
then i try them all and return whatever i dont like (which is usually like 80-90% of the order). i also keep the free stuff

anything that doesn't cause people to react like that one scene in Anchor Man is masstige

>>18065905
Montale is more accessible to the masses than both of those brands. What the fuck does that word even mean anymore?

>>18065906
>a fragrance that doesn't cause people to flee the room screaming in disgust isn't masstige
Well, then I guess Montale isn't masstige

>>18065908
>What the fuck does that word even mean anymore?
Anything that's expensive that people generally like.

>>18065908
>What the fuck does that word even mean anymore?
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the way other people use the term, but I view it as an attempt to cultivate an artificial perception of prestige by having high price points and sometimes trying also create storied artisanal heritage for the company. I view it as trying as trying to get short cut to a brand perception similar to Guerlain.

>>18065911
Why would Willow become a meme? Jeremey Fragrance, our King and Liege Lord, is understandable to become a meme. Curly maybe could be meme worthy. I don't see it with Willow. Especially since Willow takes sp,e, I won't say orthogonal, but different positions from the usual fragrance reviewers.

>>18065908
It means something that is cheaper than actual luxury products but is supposed to have a similar kind of aura. >>18065914 is partly right, as houses trying to brand themselves as more prestigious than they actually are is one way to do that.

But the constant spamming of ”masstige” here in form of one word comments is literally thread cancer, because nothing says that ”masstige” products are always inherently bad.

>>18065914
per wikipedia
>Masstige is a marketing term meaning downward brand extension. The word is a portmanteau of the words mass and prestige and has been described as "prestige for the masses".
>The term was popularized by Michael Silverstein and Neil Fiske in their book Trading Up and Harvard Business Review article "Luxury for the Masses".
>Masstige products are defined as "premium but attainable", and there are two key tenets: (1) They are considered luxury or premium products and (2) They have price points that fill the gap between mid-market and super premium.
It's not really a term that easily applies to perfumery because, generally speaking, even luxury brands are attainable to most people. Even brands like Creed who everyone pretty much agrees are ridiculously overpriced for what they are are relatively attainable to anyone with a minimum wage job. The term works better with vehicles or clothing, where the truly prestigious brands are completely out of reach for all but the wealthy.

>>18065918
>constant spamming of ”masstige” here
it's really just one angry schizo that lurks here 24/7 and makes up for 50% of the posts in every thread.

>>18065921
>Masstige is a marketing term meaning downward brand extension
This is the important bit. It's refers to when traditional luxury brands release a more affordable option. Like the BMW 1 series. And it's priced somewhere between mass market and luxury. Creed and Parfums de Marly are just luxury brands. The reason people misuse the term to describe them are because they are generally more mass appealing than many other niche brands. But even that's not actually true anymore given that most niche houses are restructuring everything to be more like Creed these days. As it turns out, releasing an $600 bottle of perfume that smells like cat piss and aged semen isn't really a winning marketing strategy. Fragcom is constantly bitching about how every new release is boring and mass appealing

>>18065359
I hope she succeeds with her frag. She's already made it far coming from a humble background.

I don't wish her ill will. I too hope she does well. I just am not a fan of the hypocrisy of critiquing, rightly in my mind, Jeremy's fragrance price points as too high, then turning around and doing the same thing with her fragrance.

what is better for performance, spraying from up close or from afar?

>>18065968
4-5 inches away

>>18065968
Spray straight up in the air 10 times and then twirl around in it like a little fairy

>>18065646
yes, strangelove nyc - silence the sea smells like oudy oysters and wet dog to me. pretentious brand though.

>Cons: You will smell like a middle aged Eastern European cab driver
>Pros: With modern formulations, you will only smell like a middle aged Eastern European cab driver for about a half hour or less

>>18065968
Spray under a bright light and see how the spray behaves. Too close so that it leaves a wet patch is kind of shit, but I’ve also noticed that if you spray just a bit farther than that, surprisingly large amount of the spray ”bounces off” and goes to waste. Generally speaking can’t go wrong with >>18065969, that’s usually the optimum to hit a large enough area without sprays going to waste through disappearing into air or bouncing off.

>>18065976
still better than pdm or jerkoff

I know this is gaining some kind of strange resurgence lately, but my only experience with it was in high school. My mom bought it for me when I was 16 and I decided to wear it one night when I was going to the drive-in with a group of friends. They made me sit outside the car during the movie. I only used like two or three sprays. Never wore it again. The full bottle was still at my mom's house last time I visited.

>>18065986
>drive-in
you were a teen in the 50's?

>>18065987
Drakkar Noir was released in the 80s. This happened in the late 00s though.

>>18065986
>I know this is gaining some kind of strange resurgence lately, but my only experience with it was in high school
TikTok trend. Old fragrances are cool now. I am pretty surprised Drakkar Noir of all things is making a comeback though. The name is so synonymous with poor taste that it's a ubiquitous joke in pop culture.

>>18065992
Drakkar Noir is the Sauvage of it's time. I don't think it smells BAD, it's extremely dated for sure, but it's reputation was for being a loud fuckboy style scent that people loved to overspray. But it was extremely popular. Everybody wore it. Like Sauvage, it was a victim of it's own success. People liked to TOO much.

>>18065992
also i like how the office clip makes fun of drakkar noir clones, our local coomer mutt could learn a thing or two from michael scott.

>>18066004
you know who he is if you’ve been here for more than a week.

>>18066005
Then let's say I've not been here more than a week. What fragrances does he push?

>>18066006
arab drakkar noir clone, aventus, bois imperial, and sex with trannies. may or may not have posted a sex tape of himself before.

>>18066007
>arab drakkar noir clone
Is this real? Why would they clone a fragrance that can be bought for $15? Is it free?

i really enjoy the dry down of ADP colonia essenza, but can't stand the sharp citrusy opening. reminds me of a toilet cleaner or something. i also really enjoy the scent of the aftershave i use (picrel). its very minty, with a little sandalwood at the base. any recs that combine the minty, soapy, sandalwood-y aspects of the two?

>>18066009
yes, it’s real. he claims it smells closer to the vintage original, though it’s not like he would know what the vintage original smells like to begin with since he’s never smelled it.

>>18066010
Sedley by Parfums de Marly

>>18066015
>he claims it smells closer to the vintage original
Oh, actually that would make sense. Not that it does or doesn't, I've never smelled it, but that would actually be a really smart fragrance to clone and market as closer to the real thing. Vintage Drakkar Noir bottles can go for several grand on eBay

>>18066016

Going for a late night walk. I'm wearing Le Beau. My neighborhood will be smelling nice and tropical despite it being 40 F outside. Anyone else contribute to their community via fragrances?

>>18065418
this isn't long lasting at all

Generally speaking, when people talk about Habit Rouge, are they referring to the EdT, the EdP, or (unlikely) one of the weird flankers?

I’m in the US and Guerlain is like Hermes, it’s just not carried in (m)any stores. Been meaning to pick up some decants of their stuff and just want to make sure I’m getting the right ones.

>>18065992
Didn’t even include the “The Good Place” episode.

>>18066179
the EDT. guerlains are carried in the US at department stores like saks, but the selection is pretty limited.

had a weird perfume-related dream today
in this dream, I found a small local store with an interesting selection. I tested some stuff and left, but when I came home I realised I swiped a tester of Eau Sauvage EDC by mistake. the perfume salesman called me and was very mad, said I had to return it

next day I went to return the tester alongside a friend, but the salespeople insisted we had to follow them into a back room to do it. they locked the door behind us, pulled out guns and wanted to kill us for the crime of swiping a tester

somehow I managed to knock one of them out, take his revolver and shoot the others. in the end we walked out the store. while waiting for police to arrive, I realised that the real store was a bit further on and the place we had walked into was some drug den inside an abandoned children's playroom

blog over

>>18066232
the moral of the story is to never buy or even try eau sauvage flankers. only the original, as monsieur roudnitska intended.

can i get some opinions on Gris Charnel?

Anyone here wear fragrance to bed just because?

Only the bottles I want to finish quickly. Sometimes something with tons of vanilla, I noted I had strange nightmares when wearing Guerlain heritage to bed, once I tried ultra male and had a bad dream with that scent, I was smelling it in my sleep it was crazy. Anyone that shills ultra male is a fagget, it's so bad it smells like sweet heavy chemicals and it's so cloying.

>>18066006
>>18066007
also the bisch kenzos, gender fluidity silver, cyber garden, roja oligarch and many more i've forgotten because his taste changes weekly. he's shilling worse and worse crap, catching aids from fucking trannies made him fall off
also the point of dakar by al rehab is that it lasts longer. al rehab in general has some decent stuff that costs peanuts if you can get past /pol/ tier racism

is it a myth that frags can go bad if they just sit in the bottle?

Only if they're sitting at extreme temperatures.

>>18066381
i personally find it very underwhelming.
it's a wholly inoffensive perfume that has a long, realistic woody drydown.

>>18066511
not a myth, but they'll be fine as long as you keep it in a cool dry place.

I sprayed this on my wrist and back of the hand three times at a department store and barely smelled it later.
Went to a different store that also had it, sprayed it on again and once again 2 hours later it's practically gone

Pour Un Homme de Caron Parfum
Pour Un Homme de Caron EdT
Pour Un Homme de Caron Soir

All of them are HEAVY lavender+vanilla and last all day. The Parfum has a softer approach on the vanilla. the EdT is a bomb. the Soir has added amber. They original was created in 1932 and has been a beast for almost 100 years. All of them are squarely for men only.
