Just smelling other people in general, the occasional going with a chick to a random parfume store and trying random shit and the cheap ones that people have gifted me. Apart for women parfumes which are literal nuclear shit, parfumes for men smell just like cheap cologne, mid priced are the fuccboi ones and the expensive ones are like the cheap ones but smell slightly better. Im clearly a newfag, dont hate.

Any suggestions for a nice feminine floral scent I can get for my gf? Something that's a little sweet but elegant and won't be overpowering for me to be around when it's hot

what do you recommend

>>18086138
Azzaro Pour Homme, Derby, Eau de Guerlain, Habit Rouge, Knize Ten, New York, Ormonde Men, Pour Monsieur, Sycomore, Timbuktu.

>>18086139
pretty out of date desu, no one cares about sycomore, timbuktu, and ormonde men, new york got replaced by new york intense, and derby is basically unobtanium these days.

wrong

>>18086145
>masstige
This general has no idea what that word actually means. Don't bother.

>>18086145
jovoy isn’t even really a house, they’re more of a niche perfume shop ala luckyscent in paris.

>>18086145
they have at least one objectively good frag and some other good ones

>>18086151
of the two, sycomore is definitely more discussed, but timbuktu is totally memoryholed along with the rest of l’artisan parfumeur. in fact, who really cares about bertrand duchaufour anymore? that early niche stuff is just not really talked about much these days.

Curly bros, new SBoy by Draco recommendation dropped

As someone who lived in NYC for ten years, I can tell you that Nicolai does a masterful job of capturing the scent of Manhattan below 59th street in the summertime. It is abrasive, off-putting, and filled with things that should not go together. It is the scent public masturbation. As the fragrance develops, I am given the sensation that around any corner, I might encounter a homeless person defecating into his own shoe. And it comes with the added bonus that if you wear it on the subway, you will likely have the whole car to yourself. Really artistic composition. My only complaint is that calling it "New York Intense" is much too vague, as this composition really should have been been named for the place of which it is most evocative, "Port Authority"

>>18086182
this is almost funny. almost.

Is there a trustworthy site to order samples from? I don't want to spend too much but I also want to make sure that I am actually getting a sample of the fragrance I want to test out and not a clone.

>>18086207
no

>>18086207
nah

>>18086207
I've never received a clone from any of the major sampling sites. I always save a bit to test against the full bottle if I decide to buy it. Or if it was a clone, it was a good enough clone that I regret buying the actual fragrance because they smell identical

>>18086207
Read OP

>>18086145
Not exceptional but solid brand honestly. Pricing is not too bad for modern niche stuff

>>18086161
they may not be discussed but they are well-known and unique so it's not like no one does or should care about them

>When your husband of 50 years has passed, but a saucy young beau turns up to bingo night wearing Habit Rouge

>>18086237
i don’t know if timbuktu is really well known anymore. sycomore is somewhat by virtue of being a chanel, but again, when was the last time someone who wasn’t me mentioned l’artisan parfumeur?
>>18086238
lol you live in florida, faggot

>>18086177
This woman smells very pungent

>>18086250
a fragrance doesn't have to be mentioned constantly to be known same with knize ten, it's well-known but not often discussed
timbuktu also suffers from being "weird" but should be sampled nonetheless

>>18086250
>i don’t know if timbuktu is really well known anymore
It's not something I'd consider massively relevant in 2024, but it's definitely well known to people who give a damn about that kind of thing. Sycamore and Timbuktu are both what I would call respected if not exactly "popular" these days.

Baby powder and lemon pledge is a timeless scent profile

My dylan blue smells like shower gel. Did I get a fake?

>>18086267
No, that's just Dylan Blue

>>18086267
nope that's just what it is. you smell fresh and fruity in the opening, then the dry down is 8 hours of smelling like you just washed your hands with liquid bathroom soap.

>>18086270
There's something in there that smells really strange in the dry down of that one. I think it's the tonka mixing with the ambroxan in a strange way. There's something very industrial/metallic going on and it's hard to pinpoint what it is

>>18086268
>>18086270
Well that's interesting. The sample I have smells a lot more fruity, what I got is kind of disappointing by comparison.

>>18086282

Went for a Target run and am now coasting through the end of my weekend. I like saving these more masc scents for when I plan to be alone for the day.

>>18086282
The only time I ever owned Dylan Blue was when I bought it from TJ Maxx in a two piece set which came with a 100 ml pottle and a little travel size bottle. For some reason the 100 ml smelled subtly different from the travel bottle, which was sweeter and fruitier overall. Couldn't tell you why.

>>18086295
The ones that are near me don't have Guerlain. I'd rather spend a small amount of money than have to drive 45 minutes to smell the ones I'm interested in

There's a Le Labo about an hour drive from me. I've been considering checking it out and having a frag made, apparently you can request mild adjustments to have the frag tailored to accentuate the notes you prefer.

Has anyone here done this?

>>18086253
>>18086256
both reasonable statements. i guess the only perfume in that list that really got memoryholed is ormonde men.
>>18086258

Hey guys, the troll is here. Remember to ignore them.

>>18086303
I've never attempted this, but the major problem I see is that the people who "make" the fragrances in store aren't actual perfumers, they're just regular joe sales reps trained to put it all together in the way that a line cook is trained to prepare your meal. Anyone can learn to pour raw materials into a bottle in specific quantities, but asking them them alter the fragrance would be a much taller order. It's not as simple as saying, "hey, can you make my Rose 31 a little bit rosier?" Even small adjustments to the formula can drastically alter the finished product.

But I don't know, I'm not really a Le Labo guy. Maybe they have protocols for this sort of thing.

>>18086343
Yeah, I'm definitely hesitant. It just sounds like fun. You're probably right though, I shouldn't expect some sort of high-quality unicorn frag from a random college student they trained to measure out various oils and extracts. I would probably be better off dropping $300 on a normal niche frag, or a few designer frags.

>>18086333
i think l’artisan parfumeur is memoryholed in the greater perfume community period. you don’t see them discussed much on basenotes anymore either. puig probably killed the brand for reals.

It costs $30 at discounters. If you can't afford that you need to focus on your lifestyle choices more than your fragrance choices.

>>18086413

>>18086410
>Is this a fragrance or a beverage?
considering floridians are involved, probably both.

>>18086409
I'm not that well versed in clones but from my understanding Supremacy is if you like the pineapple, L'Aventure is for accuracy, CDNIM Limited Edition is if you like the woods, and Cedrat Boise is if you like the cream.

>>18086404
The opening of Club De Nuit sounds extremely unpleasant. L'aventure looked like it was worth a try.

If you are in the market for a new fragrance, this is my advice...
>Go to a place that sells fragrances. Places like Macy's, Sephora, Nordstrom, Saks 5th Avenue, and Bloomingdales are all options that can be found in most American towns
>Go to the fragrance counter and ask to smell their fragrances
>Buy the one that you like the most
>Do not ask anyone on the Internet about their favorite smelly water, they are all psychotic child molesters and incels who have never kissed a girl or boy

on that note i wouldn't expect to read about it on the parfumo forums either, they've mutated into something that might as well be some youtube comment section. "whats the best mens beastmode signature scent for summer/winter/date/office?", "whats the best cheap alternative to _masstige frag_?"

How did this make a comeback? The only thing I can guess is that this current crop of teens and twenty-somethings have never had a living relative that wore this shit, so they have no scent memory attached to it and so suddenly it smells modern to them? It came out in 1965, and back then it was aimed at the 30+ crowd, so I guess most of the people who wore it as a signature are now dead. But still, if you're a zoomer this would literally smell like your grandfather. Even if he's dead now, you should have some memory of it. I don't know, it's all very strange.

>>18086607

Hey guys, I just got a text from my employers and they said we're fighting too much about Guerlain and not enough about Creed today. Let's get the ball rolling with a question: Why the fuck does nobody talk about how Creed completely changed the note breakdown of Aventus? I thought Fragrantica was just being cheeky by switching the notes to be more in line with Jean-Christophe Herault's breakdown as it was outlined in The Ghost Perfumer, but the Creed website lists it the same way now.

That seems incredibly strange to me and I don't know what the brand's play here is from a strategic standpoint. First, note breakdowns aren't fucking "real". Everyone knows that if you list your notes as "Bergamot, Pineapple, Green Apple, Blackcurrant, Rose, Patchouli, Vanilla, Ambergris and Oakmoss and Birch", it doesn't mean they sat there with a pineapple and everything else and squeezed it into the bottle. Those are just the scent accords the perfumer was aiming for, and you choose which notes to list based on whatever picture you wish to paint in the consumer's mind. Of all the myriad lies Olivier Creed has told his customers of the years, leaving lemon out of the Aventus breakdown isn't actually one of them.

So why change it? What do they stand to gain? I can see them switching ambergris to ambroxan because ambergris is a big expensive and rare meme, and telling your customers you use real ambergris instead of ambroxan can be seen as misleading, but Creed is not the only fragrance house that does this. PdM's ambergris is almost certainly ambroxan. The ambergris in Invictus sure as shit isn't ambergris. It's another case of bending the truth to paint a picture. I kind of believe Guerlain when they specifically go out of their way to advertise it that way, but the only one I can think of where they actually do that is Ambre Eternal. If I saw it printed on L'Homme Ideal or something, I'd just assume it was ambroxan

>>18086777
no 1 car

>>18086777
One thing they did say in Ghost Perfumer is that Creed would take Bourdon et als formulas and swap out the ingredients for more expensive ones. He kept the overall structure the same, but would use pricier (I don't even want to say higher quality ingredients, because that's not really how it works and denotes a poor understanding of the chemistry behind building a fragrance) ingredients. When he approached Herault to commission what would become Aventus, he had a specific musk which he'd acquired from a larger firm which only Creed could use, and asked Herault to design a fragrance around it. He agreed to do it as long as he was allowed to also design it around his favorite ingredient, which was ambroxan. It is possible that Creed took the original formula and swapped it out for Ambergris which, given the hit-or-miss nature of that substance, could account part of the batch variation issue. It's hard to get Ambergris of a specific quality year after year for the exact same price. Perhaps Blackrock swapped out the formula for something that would be more stable and consistent.

But to me it seems more likely that it's just damage control. That book hurt the brand's reputation quite a lot, and so now they are posturing in a way that sounds a bit more honest to anyone who is in the know. For the general consumer it's not going to make a difference what the note breakdown is because they aren't gonna fucking read it. But it MAY look like a good faith gesture to someone who read the book and was a former Creed fan

>>18086791
Nothing they do makes any sense, even post-acquisition. You would think that in a world where both Creed was no longer owned by the Creed family, and everyone now knows they use ghost perfumers, the brand would seek to distance itself from the whole "handed down from father to son" meme as much as possible by listing the real perfumers in new releases, but they still don't.

How did Sedley being a Miami thing become a meme? I've seen people say it a lot

>>18086834
It's something Curlyfragrance says a lot, but to be fair she isn't wrong. It's a fragrance that is strong enough to be detectable in a nightclub setting, but fresh enough to wear in a tropical climate.

>>18086836

>>18086850
>he wants toxic waste to pollute the surrounding air with
a normal person would simply call him a fucking moron and move on, and yet you encourage his self-destructive behavior while continuing to sperg out about perfumes you have never actually smelled. i would call you sad, but we already know you live in florida, a fate worse than death, so i can hardly blame your schizophrenic behavior.
ps. schizoid and schizophrenia are 2 very different things, lol. one of those things is a lot more banal and inoffensive than the other.

>>18086854
> and yet you encourage his self-destructive behavior while continuing to sperg out about perfumes you have never actually smelled
Everyone with a nana and pop-pop has smelled Habit Rouge, anon. Like Red Door by Elizabeth Arden, it's a fragrance that will spontaneously appear wherever four or more medicare recipients have gathered.

>>18086860
>comparing red door from 1989 to habit rouge from 24 (!) years prior
tell me how i know you definitely haven’t been smelling habit rouge and are too fucking stupid to figure out that you’ve been mixing them up, much like schizoid and schizophrenia.

>>18086862
>tell me how i know you definitely haven’t been smelling habit rouge
Yes, I'm sure it's just some other disgusting lemon pledge and baby powder scent. The one I sampled was also a different fragrance

>>18086813

>>18086865

>>18086863
>it’s just some other perfume that smells nothing like habit rouge
correct! any other questions?

>>18086873
Yep, no lemon or powderiness at all. Not even slightly. No one could ever think to describe Habit Rouge as containing either of those two qualities. In fact, I believe the notes are roast beef and cannabis, yes?

>>18086882
>citrus and powderiness = lemon pledge and baby powder
i almost said “i wish i could see the world so simply too”, but then i realized the world really is that simple in the mind of a florida simpleton whose life goals start and end with contracting STDs. it really makes so much more sense with locale in mind.

>>18086886
kek, you're such a disingenuous little weasel. If there is any sort of opening, you will stretch yourself out like a street rat and wriggle on in there.
>Oh, well lemon pledge and baby powder aren't the exact same thing, so everything you said is invalid. Hyperbole doesn't exist, difference in opinion doesn't exist. It's just either one thing or it isn't and no one can see it any other way.

>>18086889
>i was just being hyperbolic i swear! i was only PRETENDING to be inaccurate!
rofl, i see now why “disingenuous” and “weasel” are your favorite insults. we hate most in others what we see in ourselves, after all.
>everything you said is invalid
well since you insisted so politely, yes, yes it is.

>>18086891
Hyperbolic is not the same thing as disingenuous. I think the fragrance sucks ass. To me it smells like lemon pledge and baby powder. Another person may see it another way, but, being the disingenuous little weasel that you are, that is not an acceptable possibility. Instead, your response is not to say you disagree, it is to insist that I must never have actually smelled it.

>>18086892
>Hyperbolic is not the same thing as disingenuous
oh right, it’s not being disingenuous, you’re just straight up lying then. no pretenses about trying to obscure it with half-truths, you’re perfectly okay with describing the molehill as mount everest.
>To me it smells like lemon pledge and baby powder
how would you know? you’ve never smelled if, we’ve already established that.
>that is not an acceptable possibility.
it is, just not from someone who’s never actually smelled it.
>it is to insist that I must never have actually smelled it.
but it’s true, you haven’t. you seem to think that age appropriate habit rouge wearers somehow comingle with former opium wearers, which is about as absurdly funny as conflating trench warfare with the second world war. did you ever expect anyone to take you seriously?

it’s not extremely different, but it’s a significant reorchestration for the worse. unless you meant heritage, because i cannot for the life of me figure out why you’re asking this question a second if not third time.

>>18086924
It's on the Creed site as well as fragrantica. If you want the old note breakdown you can look at the CDNI parfum breakdown, which I believe is identical. If not, it will be in any of the older fragbro reviews. Redolessence, Gent Scents or Brooklyn Fragrance Lover (God rest his soul) usually gave the whole breakdown in their reviews

I'm cheap, what's the best clone of megamare

>>18086914
No, Sedley is not tryhard or expensive enough, at least as far as Marlys go, to compensate for shortness. If you're under 5'10, you need to go with Layton Exclusif. It's got all the loud and obnoxious "PICK ME!" energy of the original, but it's also like a hundred dollars more and has the word "exclusif" in the title so people will know you're better than other people. Even other people who overspend on perfume to make themselves feel better than other people.

Unfortunately yes, smells fantastic tho. If you want something with a little more longevity get concentree d orange verte.

It's an eau de cologne and performs as such. Maybe a bit better than something like 4711 since it has more of a base, but still below average EDT

>>18087184
it's crazy how pricey Chanel has gotten, isn't it?
and don't listen to people claiming you have to buy vintage Eau Sauvage, the citrus notes recede too quickly and it was never an oakmoss bomb anyway. some vintagefags seem to prefer the receded, base-heavy scent, but that was never really the intended effect for fresh bottles

>>18087184
will probably be buying a bottle of Eau Sauvage myself for the summer. or Eau de Guerlain, if I get the chance to test it somewhere and happen to like it more

>>18087286
it’s time to stop smoking crack buddy. you can get a vintage eau sauvage mini for $20 on ebay and find out what you’re actually missing out on instead of opting to talk out your ass.

>>18087255
I have a vintage mini and yeah, it smells like eau sauvage with the top notes gone off. Seen many people who've been wearing it for the last 50 years say it smells pretty much the same as ever too. IMO the vintagefags are wrong on this one.

>>18087312
i don’t doubt the top notes have gone off on your mini, but the heart and base notes are not even the same perfume. current eau sauvage is closed to lime juice and lemongrass than anything roudnitska would have ever put a stamp on. it’s one of the worst reformulations i’ve ever seen, and i usually am fine with competent reformulations.

>>18086207
I've bought most of my samples from essenza nobile (Europe), but haven't bothered since they increased their prices.

Fecal oud. Very stinky. Smells like poop. People wear it on purpose because they have been steered wrong by evil men.

>>18087407
that they’re completely different aside from both being dense and animalic vintage inspired perfumes? for fuck’s sake, one is a chypre and the other is a fougere, if you can’t tell them apart why do you even like perfume?

>>18086631
I like the Jersey guy. nice to see someone review all the old cheapies looking for hidden gems

>>18087416
then i just explained them to you. maai is a dusty, bitter, smoky, animalic chypre, while mem is a classical fougere with strong floral notes and a musky ambery drydown. one of these things is a lot more opulent than the other.
>>18087417
or maybe your nose is broken and you’re a fucking retard. i’m leaning more towards that one.

>>18087417
Didn't know he's an amateur. That explains a lot.

>>18087432
it certainly doesn’t explain the number of anosmic retards in this thread who love to talk about perfumes they’ve never smelled, that has yet to be figured out.

>>18087412
That's too bad anon. I would take a break from it then. If you come back to it and still hate it, maybe gift it to a friend.

>>18087435
You might even have a point if we compared Maai/MEM with OE or Lita but Maai and MEM are objectively similar fragrances, no matter how it makes you seethe because it deviates from Grandpa Turin's descriptions.

>>18087412
that’s perfectly alright. what matters most is that you tried the gay lifestyle out and found that it wasn’t for you.

>>18087396
I’ve tried both. Eau de Guerlain is not florally. They are both similar but eau de Guerlain is probably a bit more fresh than eau sauvage.

>>18087439
>objectively similar
rofl, were you the same retard last night yapping about “differences in opinion”? my condolences for your chronic anosmia, it must suck not being able to tell smells apart like that.

He's owned one fragrance in his life. The rest comes either from Turin, or if it is something Turin has never reviewed, he reflexively hates it just to be safe.

Unless you already posted them, including your scrawny brown reflection on accident lmao.

>>18087511
i have posted my early collection a very long time ago, including my bottle of eau d’hermes that no one paid attention to because it wasn’t some trendy ellenaslop. my collection now is probably about 3-4x the size it was back then. the pictures i posted were buried in the archives ages ago, no one has ever reposted them, and there are no reflections on them whatsoever. have fun looking for them.

Memes aside if you wear MEM or MAAI both will make you smell like a musty grandma. I’m not saying it is the same musty grandma, but two very distinct musty grandmas.

Yes I have also sampled these fragrances due to the autists talking about them all the time. This is my professional opinion.

>>18087511
If by doxxing you mean having information a person would prefer to keep secret publicly exposed, then posting a picture of the single half bottle of Guerlain Vetiver his mom bought for his Bar Mitzvah would be self-doxxing, yeah.

Copout? kek it is just what it smell like

the smell is that of a very musty elderly woman wearing floral perfumes, and her moomoo sweat mixes in with the lavender. It is the smell of menopausal grief and a devoted life

it is quite vivid in its creation - so I see why so many appreciate the artistry here...
And I don't look down on anyone who resonates with the smell of musty elderly women!

That actually describes the sassy faggot perfectly. He is absolutely devoted to his cause.
