first for elixirchads, for we stay winning even when satan himself malds at our savior!

Need an advice, bros.

I'm 32 and I feel too old for Eros edt. It's pleasant but it's too sweet and loud for my taste.
Now, I've been told that edp and parfum are more matured, which one should I get?
The Macy's near me just closed down and sephora doesn't have edp and parfum samples

>>18072284
They are all juvenile. Try Tom Ford Noir Extreme.

>>18072284
I mean if you no longer like the scent it is fine to change it up but I wouldn't change a fragrance you like just because you feel it isn't age appropriate for you.

>>18072284
the general consensus seems to be that Eros Flame is the better one. honestly though, I think it's time to move on if it's too sweet for you. there are a lot of fragrances with similar vibes but less sweetness. have you tried Le Male?

Help me bros, do any good lavender fragrances exist for MEN? Total dipshit when it comes to colognes/deos. I mainly use my Wilderness Old Spice but want something more potent.

>>18072386
Le Male Le Parfum is pretty good. Maybe a leather fragrance?

>>18072413
Also, if one wants a little less sweet Le Male Le Parfum, Armani Code Parfum is a pretty good normalfag-safe 4 season scent for daily use. Tried it yesterday, and while I’m not buying it for myself because it would be redundant, it seemed like a very safe pick for someone who wants a safe general use fragrance.

>Any tipps to be less tense without getting drunk?
Sorry the best advice is that it takes time and you will stop being so self-conscious overtime. But it does happen, especially if you just keep chatting with women. Try to talk to her a bit like she is a bro, just avoid banter, at least from you to her. Women can feel pretty bad from even mild friendly insults from guys. If you talk to her focus on her and what she is saying and what she is feeling when she talks. Women like attention. Also you have good instincts about not getting drunk.

>>18072761
I could understand personal preference but her recent bout of I'm going to (rightfully) criticize Jeremy for pricing his first fragrances at $250 a bottle plus then turn around and launch my own fragrance and price it at $250 a bottle plus is kinda shady anon.

Hello,
so i never had a good ability to smell and a couple years ago i lost pretty much the rest of it
do you guys know a method to ensure i do not reek? like i don´t want to be disruptive

and what fragrance would recommend for just smelling neutral everyday, for ~40€ a month so i don´t have to worry what my coworkers/the general public smells off me

>>18072786
step 1: shower daily or twice a day
step 2: use deodorant
step 3: please don’t fucking use perfume, the worst thing an anosmic can possibly do is bomb themselves with chemical reek that everyone but them can smell for miles

and that’s it, it’s really just that simple

>>18072786
Just don't overspray. In one of the frequently posted images in this thread a long-standing recommendation is between 1-3 sprays. If you want to be more certain don't do more than 2 sprays. I would suggest 1 spray on each side of the neck. As far as good neutral smelling fragrance I don't really have a good suggestion, but look for things that people describe as 'versatile' or 'good for all occasions," or "Office-friendly."

>>18072786

Is zino supposed to smell like a really strong lemonade in cold weather?

>>18072794
4711. It was actually issued by the kraut military to U-Boat submariners by the gallon because they couldn't bathe often. And with supply chain disruptions throughout the war, it was one of the few fragrances Maurer and Wirtz were able to consistently produce for the entire period. Granted, he probably had no trouble finding fragrances even during this time, he was kind of a big deal, but I doubt strongly he would have worn anything other than Maurer and Wirtz. They were THE German cologne house.

>>18072932
Anon you will never have sex with her. Watching her videos, let alone buying her overpriced fragrances will never bring you any closer to the impossibility of you banging her. She isn't even that attractive. Her primary benefit is not being a landwhale like so many women. She also wears a lot of makeup. In a world where more women were normal-sized she would be a 6/10.

Recommend floral men’s fragrances.

>>18072950
don’t reply to the coomer mutt thanks

>>18072934
Hmm... those are the 3 scents I was interested in too. What do you mean by medium plus tier longevity? 5-6 hours? Also which Ombre Leather are you using? I kind of want a leather fragrance since I don't have one currently. I figure spring and summer would be a good time to buy since they are 'off-season'. I don't want a very heavy leathery scent though just a softer yet definitely noticeable leather but that also has floral notes and just a little bit of sweetness.

>>18072957
>perfumes

oh to be so naive

>>18072958
anon, people are definitely buying up a lot of Le Beau for the upcoming hot months of spring and summer.

>>18072957
Sounds like you can’t handle leather yet boy

>>18072961
You wouldn't say that to my face when I'm out patrolling the neighborhood.

>>18072957
Medium plus for me means that it survives a workday, but doesn’t project that much at the end of it. It just and just makes 8 hours, although obviously it’s very subtle at the end. But I have a pretty low bar for what I consider ”surviving”, so yeah, not necessarily everyone would say that it survives 8h.

My Ombre Leather is the non-parfum round bottle edition, not private blend. Sounds like you need to demo it, because it sounds like what you want, a pretty realistic leather fragrance that gets gentler with time and at least for me it ends up having a very slight raspberry-ish scent on dry down. It’s not on notes, but that’s what I personally get out of it, although leather is the main attraction from start to end.

Its fine to be a newfag but please don’t lecture me about nuance that is truly retarded. You think the only leathers that exist are Tom Ford. Come on now.

Black Knight, Cuir Ottoman, Knize Ten, Testa di Moro are pretty good imo. That’s just my taste. Tuscan is too goofy for me but is interesting. Ombre is a little boring.

>>18072957
Try Fahrenheit Parfum. It's a nice softer take on the fahrenheit dna of floral ozonic leather

>>18072988
if he wasn’t an insufferable retard the real recommendation for him would be to try cabochard or azuree (also by estee lauder, but actually good), but given his extreme mental debilitation there’s really no reason to recommend him any actual good perfumes.

>>18072993
nah that’s just another vanilla bomb among 3000 mainstream vanilla bombs. It is okay to be a little bit divisive. Parfum neutered the fuck out of that DNA

is the 2019 worth looking at at all?
if you smelled the og vs if you haven't?

>>18073012
reactions to the 2019 on basenotes are mixed, but they essentially boil down to the EDT smelling very similar to the previous cabochard (ie. not good) and the EDP smelling closer to the vintage parfum of yore, but sweeter. in any case, vintage cabochard can be found readily on ebay for cheap if you trust neither of these rereleases.

>>18073024

>>18073239
>Less strong leather note? Or other notes that are added?
neither. it's avant-garde, the leather note is extremely dominant and synthetic like pleather, so aggressive it borders on rubber. yet, it's beautiful.
>Christophe Laudamiel is, among many other things, a trained chemist (MIT) and a live wire of epic intensity. He is also arguably the most inventive creator of accords working today. His former employer IFF owes him an enormous debt of gratitude; at every trade show for years, the IFF tent demonstrated a dozen or so accords incorporating proprietary materials, all done by him. Going from one to the other was like pushing buttons on exhibits at a science museum. Each performed a startling dance in the Platonic space of smells to illustrate a law of nature. Laudamiel’s take on perfumes is wonderfully seditious, and probably elicits equal parts exasperation and respect in commercial perfumery circles. He now at last has his own firm, The Zoo, and I pray it succeeds.

The initial, striking impression is a weird rubber note reminiscent of Bulgari Black, but without the dense, sweet vanilla-salicylate heart. Instead of being dark green, the background here is golden, and after a while spent focusing, as with a microscope, up and down the depth of the perfume, you discern two more skeins to the swirling chorus, a honey-like background and a mysterious, transparent green-floral medium. This is, oddly, both a solar fragrance and one suggesting an enclosed space. If I had to describe it with one image, it would be a paneled Frank Lloyd Wright living room with large, mitred glass windows, at once confined and radiant. There simply is no other fragrance like this out there. [...]

>>18073239
modern as in was released this century. knize ten is from 1925 and cabochard is from 1959.

>>18073250
ahh, I will say I generally don't care as much when a scent was released and really just care about the smell and longevity, though if it was between the two I would probably side with my inner hipster and prefer something older and 'vintage' just for the aesthetic of that. Just like /our girl/ Willow would.

>>18073271
fucking kill yourself

The thing about guys like Varanis Ridari, Wafts, Ramsey, etc… They just aren’t cool enough.

Their knowledge of vintage perfumery is high but their taste is informed by a thick loser energy. That is where the main disconnect happens. And ultimately it will lead many autists into smelling like musty grandmas. You can’t learn based from reading basenotes forums.

SOTD Dior Homme Intense, if only to spite fragcels. And I will have sex with this on. Witness me

>>18073275
>kill yourself
You'd like that wouldn't you. Then you could have /our girl/, Willow, all to yourself. Well no sir. I will kill myself.

>And ultimately it will lead many autists into smelling like musty grandmas.
How do we avoid this? Do we strive to smell like the young then? Should we smell boys and young men out in the wild to see if we can capture their energy by mimicking their scent?

>>18073283
It is frankly embarrassing how often you post in this thread

varanis ridari is too much of a weird lefty faggot to ever post on this website, and honestly thank god for that

I own a bottle of Santal 33 and Lazy Sunday Morning

How the fuck do I get out of what I consider "androcore" without smelling like an old ass man or a teenager? The only fragrances that aren't these gentle and clean scents that I'm a fan of are mega-femme florals like Flowerbomb or BR540. I need to add a masculine fragrance desperately but I have no fucking clue what to look for because they all just smell like sleezeballs to me.

>>18073334
congrats, every perfume you like is the most basic fucking bougie white girl perfume ever

How is it? Considering trying it since it's cheap and has some notes I like.

>>18073336
Thanks for the advice I'm glad you were able to take a shot at me to boost your ego without providing anything of value to me.

>>18073338
how about you provide something of value to the thread instead of just bitching and whining about your basic ass amelia perfumes

>>18073339
I didn't bitch I asked for guidance. You're the issue here you fucking retard. This is why no one likes this general.

>>18073342
no one likes you either, so why don’t you scoot along and don’t let the door hit you or your hoe ass perfumes on the way out

Is this good for a distinguished freshie?

>>18073334
Unironically try Grey Flannel, it is so cheap you can afford to blind buy.

>>18073361
lmfao you’re gonna have this retard back in this thread seething and fuming when he actually buys it and gets filtered

I need a cheap, fresh and clean frag to replace nautica voyage. I spray it after a shower for the shower gel vibes and I want to try something new

>>18073373
This one anon. >>18073361
It is a green herbal, flowery, powdery scent. If there is any sweetness it is just a hint from the floral notes. If there is any spiciness t is just a hint from the herbal notes. It is also very affordable.

>>18073373
I bought a 30ml polo blue at CVS for $20

Plenty of folks are zesty now.

Looking to cop a couple of old school masculine frags. Currently eyeing these 3:
>Drakkar Noir
>Aramis Pour Homme
>Ted Lapidus Pour Homme
I'd get Eau Sauvage but it's sold out on most of my sites.
thoughts?

>>18073411
how old school? Chanel Allure pour homme came out in 1999 but smells pretty classy.

>>18073414
like 80s, but im open.
i haven't tried the OG Allure. i only got to try the Eau Extreme version, which i would most likely get as a summer frag.

>>18073411
there was some autist on the bus today wearing a members only jacket, carrera shades and a gallon of one of the fragrances you mentioned. anything made before 1990 is fedora-core.

for me, it's Liz Moores of Papillon

Did any of you guys try Profondo? I got a bottle and am still iffy on the sea notes thing. Apparently, it's an older batch bottle too (November 2019) dunno how much that'd change the scent if at all

>>18073363

>>18073470
imagine thinking the weak, melancholy, and confused Stone Blue could compete with the clean, imposing, regality of Prussian Blue.

>>18073480
prussian blue has no nuance, a synthetic mess that begs “please notice me”

stone blue is change. the dissipation of a storm cloud, the metamorphosis of ash to slate

If you enjoy Nautica Voyage you're a fucking piece of shit and I hate everything you choose to be. Your existence is a waste of resources and your biggest sin was being born. Kys ASAP.

>>18072403
No, unfortunately. I've been searching for months now for the exact same thing. I've sampled pretty much every popular suggestion whenever this comes up and it seems hopeless.

Given how beautiful the plant smells you'd think this would be a no-brainer product that someone would be making but somehow no one has. I genuinely don't get it.

>>18073414
that is neither old school nor masculine

>>18073535
you fucking retards cannot possibly be serious, lavender has been used in masculine perfumery for 140 years and you still can’t find a single one that you like? i’m starting to think you either don’t know what lavender smells like or you just don’t like it period.

>>18073428
>anything made before 1990 is fedora-core.
How is this a real opinion? You are proud to be the NPC wojak congratulations.

SOTD: Le Male Elixir

tried Terre d'Hermes EdT today. i really love it. great opening and the dry down is nice and simple and not quite as all in overpowering on the woodyness as say Bleu de Chanel is. the drydown is much smoother with a hint of wood but a bit smoky and dry im guessing from the vetiver. it's very very pleasing. this is nice enough that i'm going to look into the EdP and Parfum to compare, because it's subtle, masculine, and pleasing enough to be a signature scent for most of the year.

>>18073580
thank you gay guy
>>18073582
congrats on being not offended by the most milquetoast perfume ever made

SOTD: Sauvage EDP

>>18073603
>5 on random spots on torso
on skin on the torso or clothing? If on clothing isn' that a waste? Even on skin if it is covered up by your shirt isn't that also kind of a waste too?

>>18073606
do you seriously think this retard actually put that much thought into his posts

>>18073606
skin around collar, clothing on torso.
Its a strong fragrance so it stays long on the clothing

i am new and want to smell good at work
i will be wearing a full suit for 12 hours and sometimes exerting myself in warm weather
i am aiming for a fresh woody scent
how do i know if i am wearing too much?
i don't want to offend people in a professional setting
i figure one or two sprays to the chest should be reasonable

>>18073619

>>18073644
easy to say until you smell it. that delicious warm vanillic glow is like nothing else.

>>18073642
Better on a dude or on a woman? All I know is it's supposedly like vanilla-less Shalimar and has a lil bit of stank to it (which I like)
Musk and BO make me happy

>>18073441
really generic opening but the dry down is nice. good office smell but too undistinguished imo.

>>18073648
jicky comes from the golden age of perfumery during which male and female perfumes were one and the same. if they didn’t care, why should you? stop worrying and starting sniffing.
ps. shalimar is by any measure infinitely more masculine than all the fruitcake fougeres from the supposed “pantydropper” le male line. make of that what you will.

starting to really dig this one. smells like a flower shop that sells shoes.

Dylan Blue smells like gummy bears.

>>18073651
I mean I'm not really into the whole feminine "I'm so manly I wear girl perfumes" thing but I wanted to get Shalimar for my gf and i really like Kiehl's musk because it's similar to Chanel No 5 which I lowkey enjoy so idk maybe I'll check it out

>>18073652
that is not nearly as flattering of a descriptor as you think it is.
>>18073654
how about you stop giving a shit about whether or not a perfume is marketed as masculine or feminine and start just wearing whatever you think smells good?seems like an easy solution to your self-inflicted conundrum.

>>18073662
i disagree
i've had a small bottle lying around for quite some time (bought for shits and giggles), sprayed it today and it's not bad at all (yes, Bon Monsieur is better but DN is still a steal for the price you can get it nowadays)

>>18073671
>lying around for quite some time
so it wasn't new, so why did you talk about it

>>18073675
don't be dense, of course it's a new bottle (2-3 years old)

>>18073676
>(2-3 years old)
so it's not new, thanks for clearing that up

>>18073639
kiehl is the dirtiest musk out there without going full shit and piss and cum. jicky is good, so is mouchoir de monsieur. i would've bought jicky for myself if i didn't find a bottle of mdm by chance

>>18073662

>Memo Russian Leather is a niche version of that DN DNA too

>>18073278
but all of them really like Dior Homme Intense?

>>18073582
yeah it's a nice one for sure. I'm glad they managed to make this kind of spicy citrus vetiver patchouli old school fragrance into something modern and mass-appealing, would much rather smell TdH on people than YSL Y or whatever

new round of (free) LT "reviews" just in:
>Guerlain Part 4
>Parfums for men
>Guerlain has released three parfum versions of their best-known masculines. While I love the originals, and think richer, more concentrated men’s fragrances are a good thing, this is a disappointing trio, not even worthy of capsule reviews.
>Vetiver Parfum is a sub-par rehash and adds nothing. L’Homme Idéal Parfum is the familiar Cool Water + Mulled Wine affair we all know and love, not noticeably more concentrated. Habit Rouge Parfum is slightly more interesting, because it delays the pressing, languorous horn call of the original by a few minutes behind some warm rum-like notes.

>>18073709
I also saw some youtuber review these and he was disappointed too. that's too bad

>>18073714
i also checked them out at the dept store a few days ago and they are just meh
hopefully Guerlain will keep the old (?) concentrations around as well

>>18073227
He seems to like Montale, pretty based.

Should I buy Kenzo Homme EDT Intense or the EDP version?

>>18073785
no, you shouldn't

>>18073785
I prefer the EDP. but yo should try both and decide

>>18073446
got the EdT of course. big fan. it's actually the first in that style that i got and what's put me on this trend. i also have Kouros, which i mainly use when i exercise.
>>18073449
>>18073636
good to know, was wondering if there were other classics to consider, but i'll start with these.

>>18073655
shut up negative fag

>>18073709
Delphine Jelk has absolutely destroyed Guerlain. Wasser needs to stop focusing on sourcing ingredients and start saving the brand.

>>18073441
I have a 200ml bottle, I think it's really good for clubbing at night in the high heat here in Miami. You will stand out over all the fags wearing overly sweet shit. One of the girls I'm seeing kept smelling me yesterday in her bedroom. It's also a good all-rounder

Have you tried pic related's frag lineup?

Which is better, Rogue Bon Monsieur or Targhee Forest?

>>18073636
Ormonde man is not office safe. It's best worn on a breezy day outside. It's an amazing scent, but can be somewhat too much indoors.

>>18073855
I take it you have not. It's mostly a home/body care shop.

>>18073882
no, I've never seen it in my life
it reminds me of similar stores that only have a presence in malls, my experience with them is that one shouldn't bother with them

>>18073854
I tried some yesterday, its pretty good and strong actually
Sprayed a bit on my hand, then went to gym, showered and sauna. And the next day the scent was still on it

>>18073889
Tried the "fresh" one on my hand
The "woody" one on a strip. I left the strip in my room with two others from designer brands, and the ritual one was overpowering the other two when i went back to my room

Eau Sauvage in 2024, overrated or not?

>>18073840
shut up easily impressed homo

>>18073850
problem is wasser isn’t that creative of a perfumer himself. he made both l’homme ideal and guerlain homme as well as idylle, la petite robe noire and (partially) mon guerlain. none of these are particularly good perfumes.

told you fags wasser got sodomized at guerlain and his masterpiece was created before that time but you wouldnt listen. SOTD

>>18073912
i like salvador dali pour homme as much as the next guy, but it is undeniably a kouros knockoff and this is also the same wasser who made shit like bruno banani scent from hell lol. don’t pretend that he was any better back then than he is now.

>>18073854
i heard not so good things about their candles and diffusors but didnt know they have frags

I’ve seen you post this several times and never quite understood, and been meaning to ask.
Preface, still relatively new to this, little under a year or so.

So what do you actually mean by this? Did he become less creative or lose skill, are they limiting him because something to do with Guerlain’s image or reputation?

well, it could be this. I have no idea how patchouli smells, but guerlain heritage gives me the exact same start, and zino in a different store, too, so it's certainly not a bad tester. well, I'll have to try it on skin then

perhaps knockoff is too strong a word. kouros spinoff is more polite and probably more accurate too. still, nothing terribly creative or masterful like that anon has been trying to imply for probably over a year now, it’s merely very competent.

cinnamon and blueberries backed by vanilla and honey. This thing is like a gourmand bomb, but it's balanced to perfection so it always feels powerful, but it's also balanced and fresh.

>>18074061
The Parfum has been re-balanced. The entirety of Fahrenheit has been set under vanilla. it's a phenomenal decision and it sets the whole thing up as a fresh smooth burning rubber gasoline and leather balanced party. The parfum is 12/10.
