Member when /fa/ thought this is the GOAT frag

>>18112698
unironically the most popular niche fragrance where I live

that was one maybe two retarded niggerfaggots that shilled this garbage frag, kill yourself for bringing it up again

>>18112696
I think the OG luna rossa is a bit underrated. it's a pretty good take on a modern soapy lavender fragrance

>>18112674
Cabochard, not that you'd know much about it

Opinions on Sel Marin?

He's lost his mind

>>18112701
which country

>>18112717
Too much cocaine.

>>18112721
Warsaw, Poland. I heard a niche store clerk complain half of the clients are just there to buy Bois Imperial and you smell it on the streets a lot. I know two people who own a bottle, and I don't really know that many people.

>>18112717
What a terrible body type. It looks muscular in an emaciated, yet bloated way. It's really unsettling.

>>18112717
looks like a cancer patient with hair

>>18112698
Got memed into it
Nowadays it just reminds me of a weird mix of coca cola and the aftertaste of blue cheese

>>18112798
lol I got a bit of blue cheese from it too at some point. nowadays I don't really get this association anymore

for me,
it is a bath with goat milk soap,
a Babycat Yves Saint Laurent for public sex or Vanilla Barka Amouage if going to church followed up by having espresso and croissant in the morning,
and,
if at home,
i prefer Encens et Lavande Serge Lutens,
all of them can be applied on a little girls hot body to have hot sex with,
and,
if with men in company,
ill just have a bath and clean shave,
mayhap Gucci pour Homme will do.

If im poor and new to fragrance should I even bother??? I dont even wear deodorant

>>18112850
are you too poor to buy a deodorant? then yes, I wouldn't get into fragrances, anon. many of them are even more expensive than a deodorant

>>18112850
how poor nigga

>>18112798
Starts out like aromatherapy then gets heavy like some sort of biodiesel
Had to sell my bottle

If only men who wear Dior Sauvage knew...

The best Chanel male fragrance, PERIOD!!

Aventus bros, apparently we are back. New batches are very good.

>>18112867

I am dirt poor basically and just dont wear deodorant because i dont smell bad unless I do some crazy workout, but if fragrance helps me attract people I will invest…

>>18112892
>if fragrance helps me attract people I will invest…
keep your money

>>18112870
No I want you to get some taste in perfume, is it so much to ask?

Thoughts on this?

>>18112915
I already have aura and mental game whats wrong with getting into fragrance?? If you imply I dont need it then okay

>>18112933
I remember this one from that one BBC documentary someone posted a while back. This smells of tomato plants if I recall and it is from a memory of the perfumer when he was a kid crawling around in the 'underbrush' of the tomato plants and his aunt was very kind to him about it.

>>18112943
you're poor so you can't get into it as a collector or to appreciate many differnet frags
and frags won't help you attract people
you should get a job instead of asking about fragrance on a peruvian carpet selling forum

>notes of crushed ice
I hate perfumers so much bros

>>18112850
buy dupes my friend

>>18112952
>and frags won't help you attract people
This is false. While fragrance isn't as important as looks, personality, height, fashion style, fitness and others it can affect people's impressions of you. It can move an experience that otherwise would have been nice or pleasant to charming.

>>18112850
How poor is poor? Fragrances have gone up in price a lot since the pandemic. There used to be a fair amount of nice or pleasant fragrances you could find for $60 ro $70 bucks now it is rare to find one under $100. Also a single bottle of fragrance that is say 100 mL can last a fairly long time. 100 mL is about 1,000 sprays, and spraying 2 sprays each time you wear a fragrance is fairly reasonable. At that rate it would last you 500 days of wearing it everyday.

>>18112867
New batches are dope, can confirm.

SOTD Polo Blue the real Blue OG.

>>18112867
I've heard they're now filling them with CDNIM

Is pic related the best JPG fragrance

>>18113041
hehe the homoerotic fragrance line

>>18113041
It is nice warm and sweetly spicy. Good fall and winter fragrance.

>>18113041
I think the OG Le Male is still the best

>>18113041

Why is Kurkdjian the GOAT perfumer bros? Everything he's made is becoming hall of fame worthy frag

>>18113056
>Kurkdjian the GOAT perfumer
lol
lmao even

>>18113056
oh did he make the original Le Male?

>>18113060
yeah, I do not know even one bad perfume from him. I can't wait to see the next Dior frag

So its Baccarat Rouge 540 for women and Aventusesque scents for men that are most popular. Objectively, which scent profile is better?

>>18113017
>polo blue, horizon, cool water
The only blue fragrances that are worth it

>>18113065
I'd take Aventus over BR540. But most of the clones are kind of bad smelling

>>18113041
Le Beau is more enjoyable for me but Le Male Le Parfum is great. The original Le Male is a shadow of it's former self, it's been watered down over the last 30 years. Still better than most slop out there, though.

SOTD: Habit Rouge by Guerlain

>>18113075
I feel like Le Beau and Le Male Le Parfum are a great pair. Because Le Beau is nice for warmer weather, and Le Parfum is nice for cooler weather. Though both are sweet if that matters to people.

>>18113081
Based if Parfum edition, still pretty good if EDT edition since the floral notes are pretty nice in that.

I met with an old friend and he was wearing something that smelled heavily like sweet raspberry. 2 hours after I went back home, I could still smell it. What is that scent?

>>18113098
reminder that this was actually composed by pierre bourdon, the same genius behind cool water and kouros, and it singlehandedly convinced jean christophe herault to become a perfumer, thereby leading to the creation of aventus. possibly one of the most unintentionally influential perfumes ever.

>>18113104
why ask us? why not just ask him?

>>18112705
>I think the OG luna rossa is a bit underrated. it's a pretty good take on a modern soapy lavender fragrance
Absolutely agree

>>18113104
maybe Baccarat Rouge 540

Oh no no no no, Aventoooos bros

Aventus sisters? It is simple. Don't wear Aventooos if you WANT to have segs

>>18113108

>>18113115
>>18113114
Good, this is why I wear Aventus. You were colognes that women love, I wear colognes that women hate - we are not the same

>>18113116
the only work by pierre bourdon needing of dismissal is his work for creed, on account of both being the rejects as well as having been bastardized by olivier’s alterations to the formula. everything else is good enough to be taken at face value.

maybe in your dreams, at best people will associate a scent with you and it's up to you to make that association positive

>>18112945
Nta who posted that, but excellent memory Anon. Didn’t much care for that portion of the documentary.

>>18113081
>>18113084
I was just on Guerlain’s website and searched ‘habit’ and only the Parfum and EdP came up. Are they even making the EdT still?

>>18113149
nta but there's still loads of discounters with loads of bottles in my cunt

>>18113149
they are, it’s just not available in the US.

>>18113120
Willow appreciates the beauty of fragrances perhaps more than any other fragrance YouTuber, with the exception of the number one fragrance YouTuber, Jeremy Fragrance.

>>18113149
Is the EdP similar to the EdT? The Parfum version is noticeably different than the EdT version. There are almost no floral notes in opening of the Parfum version, and the Citrus notes are more prominent in the EdT as well. The Parfum has a stronger, smokier leather scent comparably as well. Also the sweetness in the Parfum version is softer than the EdT. I've never smelled the EdP version so I'm wondering if it is just a slightly different version of the EdT.

>>18113152
man, I guess the US really does hate powdery florals and vanilla on men, whether it's the old Habit Rouge or the newer Dior Homme

>>18113111
im a bit out of the loop - is there a current luna rossa thats bad?

>>18113159
the EdP is much more similar to the EdT. it's kind of like they made the same scent but plated with the "EQ" a bit

>>18113163
there are like 20 flankers and most of them smell nothing like the original. I feel like Carbon is the one that made it big

>>18113161
that makes little sense considering the EDT is the least powdery of the 3

>>18113168
the Parfum is also not available in the US, and I think Intense is not as commonly present as in Europe (here it's in most stores that carry Dior). maybe the Intense has the most appeal over there because it's the sweetest and most gourmand-heavy of the three

>>18113171
i dont care about dior hommo

>>18113161
The original Le Male was very powdery and vanillay sweet. It was also very popular in the US.

>>18113168
I haven't smelled the EdP but I wouldn't consider either the EdT or the Parfum version of Habit Rouge to be powdery.

>>18113204
then you don’t know what powdery smells like, because all versions of habit rouge are powdery. the EDT just happens to be the most citric and least dense.

On a scale of 1 to Grey Flannel, how powdery do you boys like to smell?

>>18113221
grey flannel is honestly not that powdery.

>>18113221
I quite like a good dose of powder. Might put on some Jaipur Homme or Lalique Pour Homme

>>18113221
I enjoy the powder in stuff like Prada amber Pour homme. Lalique pour homme is the limit. Midnight in paris smelled so bad I had to take a shower.

>>18113227
Grey Flannel is very floral. I think that comes off as powdery to some folks.

>>18113101

Real story - when I worked in a fragrance store some time ago, the owner tells me one day she went home and something reeked so bad that she started going through the cabinets in the kitchen, threw the trash out and all and still couldnt find the source of the stench. It turns out she put some Cedrat Boise on her hand when new samples came. Shes an old fart but does have good taste. Make what you want of it

>>18113075
>>18113083
I have hard time understanding Le Beau, it feels like it has some weird pissy scent in it, probably it’s the bergamot note going bad on me. It’s not even that it is too sweet, but while others seem to get coconut out from it, I only get that strange pissgamot note.

>>18113115
You wear Aventus when you want to make twinks tremble at your smell

>>18113276
The Cedrat Boise experience

sotd jules

SOTD tres nuit

>>18113041
I really like it for what it is, a sweet vanilla and iris bomb, but it’s also pretty linear and heavy, it never does anything exciting with the drydown.

OG feels far more flexible about when to wear it, as it works well in all but the hottest summer days, while Le Parfum is very much a cold season special. Also, OG has a nice opening of mint that I have always liked, it feels like an underutilized note in general and unfortunately not every attempt to use it succeeds (for example, Eros is nasty).

>SOTD: Iron Duke

Why haven't you guys told me about this?

>>18113391

>>18113393

This one's really nice. It triggers a strange scent memory for me. There used to be a ride called Maelstrom at Epcot that apparently they replaced with some shitty ride based on Frozen, but it used to be this neat dark ride that takes you through a Scandinavian fantasy setting during Viking times. It had a very specific scent they would pump to enhance the enchanted forest vibe, and it smelled a bit like this. As a kid I never would have known what it was, but they were clearly utilizing some kind of vetiver-based scent. Come to think of it, a lot of their rides had very specific scents to them.

>>18113276
your old cunt boss probably forgot to wash her hands after fingering that bat cave between her legs

>>18113439
> Come to think of it, a lot of their rides had very specific scents to them.
They literally douse you with aroma-chemicals to trigger certain psychological responses. Disney is a terrifying corporation.
>Around the park, devices known as Smellitzers shoot scents toward passersby. For example, a Smellitzer near the Candy Palace and Candy Kitchen blasts the smell of sweet treats onto Main Street.
>"The Smellitzer was named after the famous WWI shell launcher, the howitzer," Gavin Doyle, a Disney enthusiast behind the site Disney Dose, told Insider in 2015. "Instead of launching deadly shells, it launches glorious aromas."

Spaceship Earth had a section that smelled like burning wood, that was always the best part. Soarin has the orange fields. Figment has its own smell, forgot what it was (I think it was farts?). Dinosaur at Animal kingdom smells like rubber.

>>18113450
every fragrance industry insider talks about contracts with unilever and coty, but no one talks about the contracts with disney.

>>18113439
Pirates of the Caribbean also has a pretty distinct vetiver smell. There have been multiple indie houses aiming to recreate it over the years

This smells like a dentist's office / dental checkup.

Hey stinky retards explain this. Couple of years ago I bought encre noire from a local store for like 30 bucks. Not even on sale. Now I want encre indigo, and can only find it on their main website and it's like 80 or something. What's that about?

>>18113618
It hasn't filtered down to discounters yet aince it's a newer release
Lalique scents are always like 80$ msrp, they're just very cheap at discounters for some reason. Makes them one of the best deals out there IMO

>>18112999
I find that it is a good tool to speak with someone who is ALREADY interested in you, as it gives them an easy opportunity to give a riskless compliment and get a conversation going. However I don't think it would ever sway someone who is on the fence, or attract anyone outright

>>18113221
I'm wearing 12 sprays of Stetson you tell me bub

>>18113573
It's a real strange one for me. I'm fairly easy to please and can find something I like in each of the big popular meme fragrances. I think Aventus smells nice, I think Layton smells nice, I think Angels Share smells nice, I think Enigma smells nice. I've never smelled a fragrance in my life that was actually worth over 400 dollars, but I can easily understand why people like all of those. BR540 is something I genuinely do not get. I don't think it's hideous, I don't change seats on the subway when someone is wearing this, but it's not something I find remotely appealing or attractive. It's synthetic in the worst way. I can't even really tell what it's trying to smell like, it just smells like sweet chemicals

Is coffee good for you fragrances, please?

>>18113690
I'm not a fragrance, I am a person. How dare you.

>>18113483
Looking into it and it seems good, thanks for this anon, though what's the difference between the other molecule offerings?

How do they keep doing it? Normal price, very good fragrances with very good longevity. Which brand can compete with them?

What are some good dirty-fresh scents?

This shit is so good. I'm surprised I never hear it talked about here given the love I see for drakkar. It's become my go-to for work now that it's getting hotter outside.

I've realized perfumes really are like videogames. Some of the greatest frags of all time are cheap as shit for no reason other than they're old or unpopular. Price seems to have absolutely no bearing on quality.

>>18113166
wait im confused. so can i get a "good" luna rossa in a store like a normal person or do i have to hunt for it

>>18113735
two anons talked about it a while back
I was one of them and yes it is very good

>>18113700
that's the only one I've smelled to be honest. But it doesn't really have a strong smell on its own. It's kind of a weird one in that gives you this sort of ozonic aura that people seem to enjoy, but is very transparent and ghostly. It's been described as more of a feeling than a scent. I wouldn't necessarily go that far, it does have a detectible smell which is a bit like tea leaves, but it is very light.

In a weird way it kind of reminds me of the feeling of Silver Mountain Water by Creed despite not smelling even remotely the same. That's another extremely light and borderline undetectable fragrance, but instead of doing the light fluffy thing Molecule 01 does, it kind of tickles your nostrils a bit. It's a bit like inhaling cold air. You might actually like that one too, but I do not recommend it because it's overpriced even at discounters. It has some clones though. Most of them aren't very good. I haven't tried Armaf Sillage, people say that one's good. But people also say a lot of shitty armafs are good so I don't trust them.

>>18113573
I smelled dentist office too. I thought I was the only one that did. Do any dental fags know why they’re sinilar?

>>18113700
They are all just different singular aromachemicals. Molecule 01 is based on Iso E Super (or allegedly their own special captive version of ISO 2 Super) which smells sort of like pencil shavings and which most people (if they aren't totally anosmic to it from the start) go anosmic to very quickly. They are interesting from the perspective of being an accessible way of smelling single aromachemicals, so just look up what the other aroma chemicals are supposed to smell like if you are interested.

Yeah it can push a 6/10 encounter to a 7/10. Maybe 6.5/10 to 7/10. It can have a small but meaningful effect. While it will never make someone who considers you just average or below into the attracted zone, it can help with moving someone from curious in or interested in, to attracted to.

>>18113830
They are memes? How do you like them? What do they smell like to you.

Last wear of my Bon Monsieur decant. It’s very nice and all but just isn’t me. Shan’t be buying a bottle, at least not for a while.

>>18114344
if you think about it really, bon monsieur is just an upscale drakkar noir. nice but unnecessary compared to the real thing.

No projection, no longevity and the scent to me smells exactly like Lysol Lemon Blast All Purpose Cleaner or the sanitizer wipes they make with the same scent.

That last part, however, is not a complaint. I love all citrus notes and the Lysol smell was very prevalent in my (and probably some others in Gen Z) childhood as it was used to clean most surfaces in the classrooms that this fragrance takes me back to.

It didn't last more than an hour for me and the projection is pretty much non-existent.

I'd love to wear this daily as a nice, squeaky clean fragrance but with vastly disappointing projection and longevity and a refreshing but prosaic scent I can only justify owning a sample vial of this product.

I wouldn't pay more than $25 for this and really can't think of a use for it other than maybe a bathroom spray.

allure homme i find really tough to describe, it's something you can put on for every scenario, but it's very elegant. citrus-floral and dries down to something more sweet and wood-like(?). again, it's really hard to explain but it's something you have to try yourself.

bonus points for the atomizers btw, these two atomizers are the best i have ever had and the build quality of the casing is insane (which i sort of expect for this price point)

mmmmm lavender essential oil, bathroom cleaner, faint smell of piss, and vanilla

have you tried the eau extreme version? If so how do you think the 2 compare?

>>18114367

>>18114377
totally retarded

>>18114385
both are complete shit, if that’s what you’re wondering

Today I am trying samples of Demeter Fragrances. I just got my order containing mini spray bottles of Humidor, Vetiver, Leather, Honey, Cedar, Mahogany, Log Cabin, Pipe Tobacco, and This is Not a Pipe.

So far Honey is a disappointing beeswax-scented sweet baby powder fragrance with only a bit of actual Honey, and Humidor is an acceptable tobacco fragrance that is not very woody, is very sweet, and has some "christmas cookie spices" like cinnamon ginger and/or cloves.

>I'm not trying to yuck your yum

This smells like freshly mowed grass, SWEET GRASS if there were such a thing. Actually, a synthetic rendition of sweet grass. Also, it's sour in a dank, unpleasant way. I have to agree with anon's review just a few posts up about everything. I can smell why people call it aquatic, but it doesn't account for intense peppery top which is the central feature of the scent, aside from the cloying citrus. Together it just smells like grass. Reminds me of Verace Eau Fraiche a bit.

This scent is completely different from 1 Million, and yet they share the same quality of smelling like hairspray. Synthetic and cloying, it's a big mystery to me why this is popular.

bro you are just attaching random reviews to images of new york intense rofl

I bought this as my first Ultra-Niche fragrance, I was sooo excited on trying this fragrance. When this fragrance came, I immeadiately applied it on, extremely happy and excited i hoped on a smell of fruits and a summer vibe smell, well it was definitely not that. From my guess it smelt like fresh sperms threw out of a penis, it also had a rotten vibe smell. After applying it i fainted, when i woke up my 2 dogs were dead and my brother ran away from home from that smell. I am now in pain and agony from this fragrance

>>18114401
It’s bad awful. People pretend to like it because it was made by guerlains niece and Guerlain didn’t want to have her in the family business because she sucks as a nose. But people pretend it was because she got passed up because she’s a woman.

>>18114415
>>18114418
excellent pieces of humor

Have you ever worn two sprays of Le Beau, two sprays of Invictus Parfum, and 76 sprays of the Scent Elixir as your scent of the day? No? Then get the fuck out of my thread, cretin.

I stopped reading and literally lol'ed out loud at
>no longevity
did we get the same perfume?

>wear La nuit de l'homme, no one notices
>wear antaeus, get constantly called disgusting
>wear picrel, get compliments on the first try

>>18114516
consider the following: you are disgusting.

>>18114518
The perfume is called disgusting, dipshit. Point is, if you're wearing perfume to attract women, just get some cheap wallmart fragrance, especially a boozy one. That's what the chad at stacy's gym smells like.

>>18114519
the truth is the wearer is the one getting compliments not the scent. The scent just makes it extremely easy for the woman to get a free ice breaker to talk to you. My chad friend gets compliments on some random frags (including fucking axe dark temptation lol) while dressing like a 13 y/o.
Fashion is a giga cope and if you do it for compliments you should stop immediately.

>>18114367
something's seriously wrong with your nose anon. I don't even love NYI that much (I prefer Lalique Pour Homme), but it's a good performer and doesn't even smell like citrus past the opening. you should be getting a lot of sandalwood and spices

>>18114519
yeah nah, you’re disgusting both inside and out.
>>18114522

picked this up randomly today. another quentin bisch beast

I love the smell of Le Male in slightly cold spring breeze.

>>18114564
it's definitely interesting for an aquatic. I kind of prefer both BI and Ganymede though in this DNA

by the way, does anyone else somehow get a bit of Terre from Ganymede? maybe it's the spicy + mineral + patchouli combo and the transparency

>>18114521
Do people compliment my back pack and clothes because I’m a Chad? I always thought they just like it.

>>18114604
Yes, I have been fashionmaxxing my entire life. Always try to look my best because I am very insecure and got complimented once in my entire life, while I had my buddies wear fucking cargo shorts, trekking shoes that were randomly by the door because they were hiking the day before get compliments on how "good" they smell, or how nice they look.
It is all about handsomeness. If you think about it that way, it all makes sense. When I approach women I never give a shit about her clothes and only compliment it because I feel it is kind of creepy to start talking about her facial features out of the blue.
I just feel like a retard for figuring it out so late. Still maxxing because it is a shield I hide my hideous body behind.

Think I am going to sell my fico di amalfi bottle. Smells good but performance is a joke on my skin. Basically a skin scent in 10 mins.

>>18114630
Thanks for the moral boost. I got a compliment for my back pack by a cute girl at the ritz the other day but I just shyly said thanks.

>>18114637
you get what you deserve

>>18112892
Deodorant is a meme. I stopped using it a year ago and I only use water when washing my armpits. Soap fucks up the bacteria and then you're required to use deodorant to neutralize the PH or something so it won't stink (they sell you something that cause problems and then sell you the solution). If you just leave it be and wash with water you should have just a light natural musky smell.

>>18114367
Covid claims another one....

good shilling to whoever was shilling youth dew as I now have a bottle in my possesion, will test after I come back from the gym [inb4 wearing 20 sprays there]

Blind bought this. What am I in for?

>>18114710
Pleasant cherry/almond scent, but it doesn't project much and fades somewhat quickly.

Overpriced for what you get, but that's a lot of stuff these days.

>>18114710
It is a nice simple amaretto-ish scent. It has a slight bit of smokiness to it. It is very nice and pleasant.

>>18114710
I got a sample of this and my dogs ripped the parcel open and managed to unscrew the top and pierce the atomizer without breaking the glass so it was fucked and all over the carpet.
Maybe it was the almond

>>18114726
based dog preventing you from having shitty frags

If I look like this, what fragrance would you suggest me
Nothing more expensive than 150 euros please

>>18114731
dior fahrenheit

>>18114731
either A&F Fierce or Le Male

My mom said choose either H24 EDP or Dior Sauvage EDP. Which one should I choose effay?

>>18114737
Guerlain Vetiver Parfum edition

>>18114737
H24

>>18114737
Those two fragrances have nothing in common. Because your mom is buying it for you Sauvage is probably better for you.

any canadian anons know if guerlain vetiver parfum is in stores yet? went to the bay and they only had the original

>>18114710
I just got the EDP a few days ago. It's a nice sweet spicy cherry. The root beer/cherry coke vibes that people talk about are noticable. It also had what my nose initially thought was some powderiness, but after wearing it a few times it was the incense that was actually giving me that note

>>18114564
this smells like papaya to me and nothing else.

Tried Oud de Carthage today, pretty good shit. Too expensive though

Am i the only one who thinks milfs are hot as fuck? That distinctive body of post pregnancy, plump, explosively arousing, they hips scream for another conceiving. Compare it with pre pregnancy early 20s females, it's like they body must reveal full potential later.
Sotd Lomani Pour Homme

>>18114564
Yeah this one is great, I got compliments from a female co-worker wearing this (only two sprays, it's quite potent). She said it would smell like oranges on me, I personally can't get any citrus at all from it. She is quite into fragrances herself and then sampled it in a perfume store and bought it for her boyfriend, who didn't like it at all though.

>>18114892

>>18114981

>>18114981
Yeah he is fine, but I think he is trying to figure out how to transition from good looking younger man into good looking middle-aged man, and he needs to figure out a new style for that.

Is it true that perfume is an endocrine inhibitor and bad for you or this is crunchy schizo shit?

>>18115162
Probably true but who cares. Also, I already paid for it, so I'm gonna use it regardless if it's bad for me or not.

Some natural oils are for sure, like lavender. Just spray it on your clothes if you're worried about it.

bogart signature is just too green for me bros, i can't handle the greeness

>>18115210
Greenly is the only good green scent

My 50ml Chypre-Siam came in today. Really unsure why this is only available through certain retailers, I would have gotten a 50ml of Mousse Iluminee as well if I had known I could get it.
American Perfumer was awfully gracious with samples as well. Gave me 4 free samples (all Rogue perfumes) for a $130 order.

>>18115220
Yup, that still boggles my mind a bit. I went with one of his 70 ml bottles though, so *shrug*

>>18108771
>>18110446
Well, I’ve finally finished all the exhibits at the zoo. They’re interesting.

Will probably pick up at least one full bottle by them, maybe a travel spray or two if I end up liking some of the others I plan to test more extensively.

And to >>18110457 here are my reviews of Seahorse and Squid, mind you I am still quite novice in discerning scents.

Seahorse - Opens… oddly. The only way I can think to describe it would be “Synthetic Salt” but it has an aromatic borderline sweet association with it as well. Powdery too. At 30 min I no longer get the weird salt smell, but it’s still powdery aromatic. Not bad. Mostly linear at 1H, leaning powdery now, not so much aromatic. Linear at 2H, def powdery. Linear at 3H and still going pretty strong.

Squid - Opens as a spicy aquatic scent, not bad, but a bit weird. I keep gravitating toward the word smoky but that’s not right. Flint, it’s like the semi “burnt” smell of metallic flint being struck. It’s also occurring to me that I wonder if this is what people say Molecule 01 smells like, pencil shavings. Linear at 30 min, metallic pencil shavings, perhaps less aquatic. Linear at 1H, maybe a touch more faint. Linear at 2H. Linear at 3H and going strong. Over all, quite interesting but not something I think I’d wear. Also, projected very well the whole time.

Bat (original), Squid, and Panda are my favorite from them I think. If you haven't tried the original Bat formulation you can get it as "night flier" from Orchid Scents. There was some disagreement that led Ellen Covey to take her forumla and make it on her own.

Honest thoughts?

>>18115347
complete garbage

>>18115315
Yeah, Seahorse is definitely nothing to write home about.
Squid is weird and unique, but not particularly enticing to me.

>>18115334
Yeah I’m not big on the earthy fruity stuff, don’t imagine I’d care for the original Bat either. And as I said, Squid is okay, Panda was lower mid for me as well, not bad but not great, basically green spicy.

My top six from a single wear of each, (in order) were Penguin, Rabbit, Koala, Macaque Fuji Apple, Harvest Mouse, and Trex.

And I list top six solely so I can include Trex, which I really wanted to like more than I did. It was good, very enjoyable, but it just didn’t live up to the (over)hype unfortunately.

I’ll give it credit though, it’s more wearable than Tonnerre which I also like but don’t get to use often.

>>18115162
Do you believe in homeopathy? The amount of chemical you could actually absorb on your skin from perfume is miniscule.

Now never post this retarded garbage in the perfume general again.

>>18115032
Just look at the morons they listen to on YouTube. Just consider that they refer to perfume as "fragrance" out of insecurity. Just realised few if any regularly wear aromatics elixir

What more do you need?

Really pleasant and fresh in the beginning, but with time the freshness disappears while the coconut gets overwhelming and obnoxious. If you‘re some hardcore coconut aficionado go for it, otherwise I really can't recommend it.

>>18113439
How does it compare to Terre D'Hermes?

>>18112892
As long as you don't have particularly bad BO, baking soda works to neutralize odors. You need to bathe regularly for perfume to have a positive effect. It's absolutely vile when someone who clearly reeks tries to cover it up like it's a shower in a can or think they don't stink and wear cologne on top of their week old ball musk. Don't go more than 3 days without a shower. You don't necessarily need to use soap unless you're in manual labor/sports/are otherwise sweaty/dirty. There are cheap "dupe" brands of perfume that smell nice for $20-50, Swiss Arabian is my preference, but I like ouds. That might be too much for someone starting out. Nautica Blue is $17 and is a nice basic daily wear. Similar to Old Spice shampoo. Old Spice shampoo also works for smelling okay on a budget since it tends to linger for about 2 hours after a shower. It's like wearing cologne without the commitment.

I’ll never buy creed again. A few years back my GIT smelled heavenly, then I bought a new one the following year, and it smelled like piss and pencil shavings.

About 5 years later I bought a new one and it smells okay. But it’s different.

I hate batch variations

I just tried my first good honey frag (Honey Perfume from Parfums Raffy); didn't know until now how nice perfectly photorealistic single-note honey is. Want to combine with Van Cleef & Arpels Tsar.
