Does LV actually make decent ones or are they just a overprice meme?

You're all idiots

>>18132738
This is true

>>18132735
overpriced LVMHslop

probably a weird question to you guys but is there anything that fills an oil/petrol scent niche?

>>18132758
This one looks promising.

>>18132758
fueled up for petrol. there is a wd-40 frag and alkemia industrial sabotage smells a lot like wd-40 too. midnight stag smells like a dirty car workshop. hyacinth and a mechanic too but more refined.
>>18132762
unfortunately they missed with this one

Fragrance = allergy
Also it's something you don't need but companies convince you to buy it or you're not cool

>>18132836
I wasn't a sickly child, and I don't suffer from allergies due to my superior genetic makeup.

>>18132836
you don’t need expensive clothes either, but that doesn’t stop you from browsing /fa/ apparently

>>18132925
I browse this place to read about mutual purchases and discuss my mistakes. People on frag are all retards who either can't stop asking questions, give lists nobody gives a shit about or are complete npc bots.

>>18132931
none of those mutual purchases are necessary and are just symptoms of unchecked consumerism, but you still participate in this “culture” anyways

>>18132944
Fuck this, I never wanted to be affected by advertisements but here I am. With my stupid mistakes, buying stuff I don't need, looking to buy more because I want it all and am never satisfied.

intense cafe by montale and amore caffe by mancera

>>18133055
I literally have a sample of amore caffe and I tend to agree with the general consesnsus that mancera and monatle aren't that great but after sampline amore caffe I think anyone looking for a coffee scent should try it. intense cafe when I had my normie friends smell it a few years ago said it smelled like an old person but I'd still sample it yourself

Where do normalfags in the Netherlands shop for fragrances irl? I wanna try and get indigo for cheaper than the lalique online store. I figure Notino but they don't have it. Is it just too new to be stocked in normalfaggot stores?

>>18133170
It's not available anywhere outside of Lalique shop yet - not just the Netherlands.

you basically can't miss with this one, right

Huh, I can't see how many posters there are in this room anymore. Too bad. Either way, my guess is that at least 70% are bots

anyone know an eu store selling regular zoologist rabbit that isnt sold out?

>>18133177
Smells nice and inoffensive and since prices drastically increased, not many people can afford it, so it's not overused like 5 years ago.
Anyways, I'd suggest H24 edp if you want/need to smell anodyne. At least is more modern.

>>18133248
what's the difference between regular and limited? only found https://www.beauty-concept-shop.de/Zoologist-Rabbit-Extrait-de-Parfum/11386.1

Tested a few frags today.

>Serge Lutens Chergui
Very good stuff. Slightly reminiscent of LADDM, but sweeter, less on the dry side. Still a very dry and spicy scent though, with some amber and woods. Sublimated by the heat, don't trust fragrantica faggots who say this is for "colder days", it's not. 7.5/10

>Serge Lutens Santal Majuscule
Clean, creamy woody scent, quite masculine, very versatile imo. Smells elegant and comforting. It seems to sit closer to the skin than Chergui. I compared it with Original Santal later and it didn't smell as "luxurious" as this if it makes sense. 7/10

>Diptyque Tam Dao
In the beginning this was a very natural "watery" sandalwood with a hint of greenery, now as it's drying down it smells kind of like pepper to me. Not unpleasant, but surprising, definitely not the luxurious sandalwood SM is. It's become very subdued as well, I think the performance is not good on this one. 5/10

>Stéphane Humbert Lucas Solei de Jeddah Mango Kiss
I didn't expect much out of this house but this is really fucking good. God of Fire was less subtle, too fruity, but Jeddah somehow takes mango and gives it this kind of dry vibe, while remaining very natural with some spices and woods here and there, this smells luxurious and classy despite being marketed as an exotic fruity scent. 8/10

>Matières Premières Falcon Leather
Pure leather; not subdued and mass-pleasing like Ombre Leather, much more agressive, smoky, slightly animalic. Definitely wearable though, I like this one, it's extremely masculine and deep, dense. If you're looking for photorealistic leather, this is it, definitely. 7/10

>Yves Saint Laurent Tuxedo
I get the hype with this one, it's very pleasant, extremely versatile, the ambergris, patchouli and pepper are great, this would fit all occasions and has a lot of class. Too expensive though. 8/10

Also tried stuff from Malle, PDM, BDK, Caron, Killian, Creed and Houbigant, but not on the skin, so I only got the drydown from the caps basically.

>>18133274
the only difference is the bottle

>>18133252
yeah the price is so bad but
>not many people can afford it, so it's not overused like 5 years ago
actually not a bad thing

Should I blind buy Cool Water? Have I been memed for even considering it?

>>18133381
it’s $20 dude. worse has been shilled here for much, much more money.

>>18133385
Yeah, I'm considering it because it's so cheap and I want some decent fresh/aquatic scent for scorching hot summer.

Which frags can you recommend to me? I'm not necessarily looking for something that has all these notes, just good frags that play with some of these notes.

>>18133177
Yeah it is a great versatile fragrance.

>I get the hype with this one, it's very pleasant, extremely versatile, the ambergris, patchouli and pepper are great, this would fit all occasions and has a lot of class.

>>18133428
There's a slight sweetness from the patchouli but it's mostly a musky slightly smoky but smooth scent. I suck at describing scents though, it's good shit, you should sample it

fragrance is demonic

incorrect, it's sunnah as the prophet pbuh wore ambergris and musk.
>Wearing a good perfume is said by scholars to be an act of charity, benefitting those around you. Umar radhiallahu anhu is quoted as saying that if he had to go into business, it would be selling of perfumes. Even if he made no profit, at least he would be surrounded by a good aroma.

>>18133275
How much rose do you get in Santal Majuscule?

>>18133464
Not much honestly. In the opening it's fresher but it quickly dries down into slightly sweet, creamy woodiness.

>>18133429

>>18133545
Blanche has a really nice aura in summer, but dies instantly in dry and cold air. Regular Allure Homme Sport is also a pretty nice if one wants an airy but still a bit sweet summer fragrance, but personally, jury is still out regarding Eau Extreme, it seemed a bit too heavy for summer when I tested it and it seems like it is just hyper tonka after the opening mandarin.

Sotd Cool Water

>>18133450
Do you feel the scent can work for all temps? Or is it too heavy to wear in hot weather?

>>18133694
It was around 30°C here today and it didn't feel cloying. Some frags (like DHI for example) shine in colder weather and are underwhelming when it's hot out, but Tuxedo didn't strike me as that kind of scent

>>18133170
Gozer, I don't even know where to get older Lalique fragrances in normalfag stores. Where do you typically buy them?

Its the most creative, high quality, long lasting, panty dropping fragrance to ever be produced. And it can be YOURS for just $20.99 (plus tax and tip). What are you waiting for?

>>18133694
I have it and it’s the most versatile fragrance I have, it works for everything because is as good as that guy said. Even better in my opinion, but it’s way too expensive, I got it with a discount and it still hurts but since it’s my most complimented fragrance it hurts a little less

>>18133777
Checked
Based lavender lover: pour un homme is spring in a bottle.

>>18133381
Russian Adam (Areej le Dore) and Luca Turin rated Cool Watter as their favourite scent. You can't go wrong with it.
Get The Dreamer too if you can, summer won't last forever!

>>18133381
>>18133391

Blind bought it 2 years ago - it's not my favorite scent but it's versatile, long lasting, classy, and unmistakeable - also cheap, usually. Very worth it imo.

My go to summer scent is and probably will always be CK One, though it's not an aquatic.

>>18133210
>buy it second hand
I have never seen it for sale second hand. Any suggestions on where to look?

>>18133787
How is the performance?

>>18133818

>>18133840
bad on their own, worse together

Need a winter go-to fragrance, something cozy and comfy. Is Ombré Nomade a decent one to pick up? I can get it at a discount.

Has anyone tried the Bvlgari Eau Parfumee fragrances? Tea seems like an interesting note I'd like to try. Any other tea fragrances to check out?

i love it

>>18133862
>other tea fragrances
Test Poudre Matcha and Soleil Thé if you can. They belong to Kenzo Memori Collection.
I had also some samples from Le Labo: Matcha The and The Noir. Not bad, but terribly overpriced.

>>18133429
Aramis 900
Azzaro Acteur
VC&A Pour Homme

why tf do I have so much citrus in my collection

>>18133862
I bought The Vert a few years ago - it smells heavy on the citrus, almost lemon-lime - but it doesn't last long and dries quickly, and there's little depth to the scent. It's mid but alright.

I prefer Aqua Allegoria Teazzurra - softer citrus, more blatantly floral, and almost rainy-daylike - but (while I don't mind this) it's sweeter/has almost a vanilla note, and is a bit more feminine.

>>18133925
you are not buying VC&A PH for $100 anymore lol

>>18133948
Shit, I haven't checked prices in awhile. I got mine for $70 a few years ago.

Why Hot Water is not as popular as Cool Water?

>>18133932
It goes with everything

>>18134039

What's the general consensus?

>>18134182
>What's the general consensus?

>>18134182
I enjoy his work but please sample them before. Only miss so far was Sadonaso which smells like a public urinal.

I love this but it dries down do pure vanila. Is there something similar that retains more incense in the base?

>>18134185
black afgano smells like piss too

I might get a full bottle of Santal Majuscule but I want to try other sandalwood frags first.
What else can anons recommend that have the same comforting, almost meditative, high end creamy woody profile?

>>18133812

Sotd
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Water_(perfume)

>>18134079
if only it lasted longer

>>18134079
no one considers this a citrus fragrance. no one.

>>18134210
Zadig & Voltaire This Is Him is kind of similar, but only because it's purely vanilla and frankincense.

>>18134225
Santal nobel is my fav sandlewood

Pick u up some of these and make bath time great again

>>18134182
Baraonda is great. Silver Musk is clean laundry musk, slightly tart and metallic. It’s a fine “clean skin scent” but overpriced for what it is unless you’re into that. Pardon is a dark chocolate oud. Does not have any barnyard stink but the oud adds some funk to make you keep coming back. Not my cup of tea, but sample worthy. Testing Duro later.

>mogs your collections

>>18133849
Rose is blended in a masculine way aldoe for some men it may be difficult to wear. I’d recommend you try Nouveau Monde first.

>>18134315
thinking of copping it for the office.
how similar is Zino to BdJ?

>>18134336
>how similar is Zino to BdJ?
very similar
>thinking of copping it for the office.
why would you do that?

>>18134338
because it's a safe scent profile and not too loud. obviously i can wear it at other times, but it's also appropriate for the office

>>18134315
zino but screechy, no thanks

>>18134287
Sandalwood soap is nice, I got some too
Looking for frags though

>>18134341
just get Zino

rotation is Habit Rouge EdP and Lalique Lion for the office, Black Orchid for evening/dates, and White Musk as a skin scent after gym or at home.I'm hoping to round out my collection with a "hot weather". I've sampled CdG2 and Caron PUH before and liked both,wasn't much a fan of Terre d'Hermes or any Dior (haven't sampled Farenheit).

any recs for this round of sampling I'm about to do? interested in Kenzo and d'Issey as they get memed a lot as Aquatics and whatnot, or did last time I lurked.

>>18134365
Kenzo Homme EDP is worth sampling since it's pretty unique. You can try L'eau d'issey in most sephoras and even online it's so cheap that you can safely blind buy it

>>18133575
so nothing is missed

>>18134341
Pay no mind to the noselets. They're the same ones that say moustache is an alternative to tuxedo.

>>18134408
moustache is certainly an alternative to tuxedo in that both are dogshit

>>18134411
Tuxedo is great
Moustache is a sticky sweet orange bomb.

Zino is darker woody
Bdj is fresher lighter herbal

>>18134416
tuxedo is dogshit. moustache EDP is dogshit and has no relation to the brilliant original.
zino is great, beau du jour is the same thing but screechy and sharp for several times the price.

I'm not unique. But I'm not going around writing to people asserting all fougers smell the same.

>>18134425
Why do you keep responding to pajeet? his nose is shot from smelling diarrhea on the street all day, just ignore that faggot

>>18134425
not all fougeres, just zino and the zino clone.

>>18134428
I already gave you the best one, someone else gave you about 5.
>>18134431
Lovely floral sandlewood

>>18134428
idk about creamy, but Santal Volcanique is really nice

>>18134428
>>18134431
also Chanel Egoiste but why would you do that with current Chanel prices when the Trumper frag exists
also, it would be nice to have these frags in the cha... oh wait, they're there

Which frags smell like a temple?

>>18134417
mostly right except for comparing moustach edp to the edt when you really should know better and understand that they only share the name because it would remind someone of the old one

>>18134491
except that the EDP wouldn’t remind anyone of either the original EDC or EDTC if it wasn’t for the reused name and bottle design. the supposed “original 1949 EDT” also smells nothing like the original, further proving that rochas have no idea what they’re doing.

>>18134498
yeah cool and? rate the fragrance on it's own merit

Opinions on aquatic/ocean fragrances?

>>18134499
it’s a bad one and a travesty to desecrate the legacy of the original with it. little more needs to be said.

>>18134501
Mostly boring, sometimes pretty good, always inferior to other types of frags. When the peak of the scent family is stuff like Kenzo Homme EDP, the old Oud Minerale or Acqua di Sale, you know it's very mediocre overall
And no, Orto Parisi's Megameme is not a good aquatic frag, it's in the "interesting and unwearable" category

>>18133381
Cool Water smells like locker room deodorant. It's not bad, it's just it was extremely popular 30+ years ago to the point where every men's grooming product copied the calone note. If you don't like the sound of that try Cool Water Intense, which is more modern and less ubiquitous smelling.

How straight men enjoy smelling like sugar pastries il never understand. Talking about all Jpg line. Fucking faggots

>>18134365
What's Lalique Lion like?

>>18134515
cool water doesn’t have calone though, you’re thinking of dihydromyrcenol which is also overdosed in drakkar noir (which suffers a similar fate)
>>18134518
le male has always been a gay perfume.

>>18134523
>cool water doesn’t have calone though, you’re thinking of dihydromyrcenol which is also overdosed in drakkar noir (which suffers a similar fate)
Thank you for correcting me. Agreed with Drakkar Noir. Both good fragrances on their own merits but in context you will smell like supermarket deodorant to normies.

>>18134526
of course, this only matters if you wear perfume to appease other people

>>18134501
My favorite genre. But only the ones with mint and lavender notes. Similar to Cool Water or Polo Blue.

What are the most dry and the least sweet fougere/aromatics available? For context I would consider BdJ, Masculin Pluriel, Rive Gauche too ambery, sweet or powdery than what I'm looking for.

>>18134537
fougeres always have a slight sweetness to them from the coumarin

Ok but still, one of them must be the least sweet one

>>18134541

Ciel Pour Homme by Amouge comes to mind but its been discontinued. Idk if you can still find any

Comme des garcons Jaisalmer is literally designed to smell like a hindu temple but I havent smelled it myself. There is also Kyoto in the same collection which is designed to smell like a buddhist temple (I think) but like the first I haven't smelled it.

Of ones I've actually smelled I would recommend Santal Blush by tom ford (I know, fordslop whatever). Its marketed for women but I think its fairly unisex.

There is also the The Inimitable William Penhaligon which I think is pretty good. Definitely overpriced however

>>18134560
Is there a good clone of santal blush? Been hearing lots of good things about it lately

>>18134501
Mostly bad, but try Sel Marin which is the best in genre.

What the FUCK is this FUCKING sel marin shilling all of a sudden? HUH?!
not a word for forever but suddenly there's "a few" (totally different people) shilling it?

bull fucking shit

Guerlain is also LVMHslop

>>18134680
every good perfume guerlain has ever made came out long before they were acquired by LVMH so it doesn’t matter. the whole l’art et la matiere collection on the other hand is LVMHslop.

What if Mowgli and gay dragon are the same person, and the reason Mowgli is so rude is because that's how he views the personality of a gay red dragon?

>don't trust fragrantica faggots who say this is for "colder days", it's not. 7.5/10
I think Chergui is a solid three season fragrance. I don't like wearing it when it's hot and sticky out. For some reason the heat exacerbates the potpourri-like quality. I never have that problem in cool weather though.

I came across an unopened laboratorio olfattivo full bottle at my local thrift shop today. Didn't buy it but probably go back tomorrow

Bros, what does this smell like?
I just need an inexpensive and inoffensive everyday fragrance that lasts at least 6 hours

>>18134079
I'm 33, I started wearing that when I was 16. Back then it had pretty good longevity.
Anyway, it got me plenty of pussy in college.

My wife wants me to put together an order of samples for her since she knows I'm into fragrances. but I know fuckall in the feminine perfume market. What are some good things to get some samples of? I know she likes classic style fragrances and florals. She absolutely hates candy sweet scents, and surprisingly liked guerlain oud yuzu. If someone asked me for a beginner kit for dudes I'd be set, but I'm at a loss here

Thoughts on perfume oil clones?
https://perfumeoilexpressions.com/collections/all-products-perfume-oil
This website makes clones of popular frags but since they're oils they should perform way better right?

What else bros?

https://www.genericperfumes.com/ralph-lauren-polo-green-for-man?search=Polo%20gree
Since i tried this and compared it with recent Polo Green i was shocked.
Recent Polo Green smells like urinal cake, cheap sweet sandalwood. The oldschool Polo green smell like wet smoky tobacco, green-fresh citruses on top.

>>18134933
Thanks. Is that website (genericperfumes) good in general?
Do perfume oils tend to smell "cheaper" than the real alternatives or is it identical?

Be honest, how shit is my taste?
The only blind buy was the Le Labo.

>>18134958
It's hit or miss with oils. But the higher the A grade on genericperfumes the better the quality.
https://youtu.be/MHfLa8lE4tQ?si=tTTCeW2rLhiWwAaD
Having the OG(1978) polo green oil while most buy the new formulation with the urinal cake feels soothing to me.

Would you say A+ and above are a safe blind buy (assuming you like the original scent)?

>>18134977
It's ok, I wouldn't mind having all that but maybe in different proportions. Definitely better than having multiple Creeds, PDMs, Jerkoffs and JPGs

>>18135174

Any experience with Fischersund perfume, specifically No 54? Icelandic niche brand.

>>18135129
It's slop. "Pretend-Niche" in the same vein as PDM.

And to add to that I really can't fathom how most of my local perfumeries would scorn at the thought of stocking Creed or PDM but all fucking jumped at this shit.

What's our take on the new Habit Rouge

Speaking of, anyone know a good sandalwood oil?

>>18135229
garbage

Zoologist order just arrived, very pleased.

The house gets shit on here a bit but honestly they’re like most other niche houses where they have both good and bad frags. I’ve called them Canadian ELDO a couple times in the past - some interesting experimental frags, a little bit better branding, a bit more expensive.

Picked up a full bottle of Penguin and a travel spray of T-Rex and Rabbit. Already own the full sample set so I requested a travel spray of Penguin which they were kind enough to oblige.

They’re a bit middling as far as pricing goes, but I kind of see why now as they really key up the packaging, whether you consider that a good thing or not. As you can see in the pic each travel spray has its own little faux leather box with a foam/felt liner for it to sit in. The full bottle is a limited edition (although same price) so it’s intended to be a little more elaborate, but every side of the box (inside and out) is foiled.

The bottle itself has a lot of heft to it because there’s a solid half-inch of glass on the base, which I’m not sure I love, but don’t hate. The atomizer is great, good quality, one where when you spray it takes a half second or so to finish dispensing even after you’ve fully pressed. Sauvage Elixir has the same type, which I like for some reason. The travel sprays are nice, I prefer long and thin over short and fat because they fit better in pockets. My only complaint is they’re non-refillable, but I knew this when I purchased.

Overall I’d recommend them as worth trying. If you’re just looking to get into some niche fragrances there are cheaper options, but if don’t mind spending a little or just enjoy sniffing unique frags, definitely check them out.

>>18135265
You are not a bright one.
Have fun with your shit taste and great sense of interpretation.

>>18135267
but how does it smell

terrible shilling

>>18135278
It’s great! Penguin opens as a cool, fresh, almost floral scent. Very clean, almost soapy even. It’s linear for about half an hour then the top notes start fading and the leather starts to take the spotlight. They describe it as suede, but it’s much more of a leathery scent to me. I’ve had a few people around me describe it as very faintly smoky. There’s always this kind of background coolness to it though, kind of chilly. I don’t get the moss, but it may just be blended really well with the leather. Regardless, I really like it.

any reccs for arab clones?

>>18135267
>>18135278
>>18135291
Rabbit is a sweet gourmand, so naturally /frag/ will hate it, but it’s very much a sweet baked goods scent. I get cinnamon and that overall “just walked into a bakery” scent. Very, very similar to Pineward’s Gingerbread, for those who have smelled it. Pretty linear, but I haven’t tested it as extensively as Penguin though, and it was always with 2-3 other frags on other areas of skin.

T-Rex is surprisingly more wearable than people always allude to on here. Easily more wearable than Tonnerre or Hyde. Opens as an airy, peppery scent, but oddly a touch cold, almost like menthol. It warms up quite a bit by 30~ mins with a smoky woody scent, resinous, and holds it through the first hour or so. By 2 hours though you can catch some of the florals peeking through from underneath the smoke, and at 3H you still get wisps of smoke but it leans more into the leather and vanilla base.

is there anything that smells like a cool refreshing dip in the pool, chlorine included?

>>18135268
sounds like you’re not as clever as you think you are. enjoy smelling like shit.

>>18135314
I am intelligence personnified and I will enjoy smelling like shit, thanks.

Imaginary Authors - Whiff of a Waffle Cone

>>18135322
>>18135326
Literally my first thought as well.

Immediately followed by Ghost in the Shell for a more general “milky skin” scent.

I know it's all citrus and marine now it's getting into summer but what about those overcast and rainy summer days? Just doesn't feel the same.

>>18135340
If it’s a cooler day I reach for any of my winter scents that I’ve been missing, but the ones that fall a little more closely to the in between months would be Burning Barbershop, Eau de Baux, or my fave, Acrasia.

>>18135320
really just plain embarrassing

>>18135356
Encre Noire Sport is a fantastic creation, I get some honeysuckle and neroli on the drydown, all of that with a fundamental vetiver note.
Great stuff.

>>18135365
It's good, longevity sucks

>>18135353

Davidoff Cool Water

>>18135340
see
>>18135370

I’ve just had some samples through. Arabian Tonka, Tonka Cola, Interlude 53, Naxos and Uden.

The quality and blend of the two Xerjoff is such a step up from anything else I’ve smelled before. Honestly the price tag for Uden is putting me off otherwise I’d definitely be grabbing it, that might be my favourite. Quite tempted to pick up a full bottle of Naxos though. Any alternatives that I should consider or is it worth the price tag?

I was going to try this one until a friend of mine told me that all the "shababs" are wearing it

>>18135410
:-*

>>18135403
Thanks for the reqs, I'm really not a vanilla scent fan. It just overpowers the other notes to me.

>>18135412
if shababs means faggots then yes, they are

>>18134788
nvm it was a room difuser

>>18135416
Try before you buy. I wear them on cooler days because I already own and like them, most of what I like lends itself heavily to cold weather, but that doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily be you or other will find them suitable as well.

>>18135429
i'll keep the barbershop in mind. got anything else sorta fougery and not vanilla?

how often do they restock it?

Looking for a blue frag recommendation
>mid-30s dad
>spending Mediterranean summer days at a country club next to the beach
>shower and frag around 18:30, then soda, ice cream with family and friends, dinner, and relax
Last summer, I mostly wore Pour un Homme de Caron, Apex by Roja, and Luna Rossa OG. This year, I'm looking for my a nice blue fragrance. I like Polo Blue EdP (already ordered it), and I've read here some anon shilling Bulgari Aqva.
Please give me some inspo on a quality blue frag.
>inb4: Bleu de Chanel, Dylan Blue, Light Blue, and any Acqua di Parma are out because everyone else is wearing them there.

Fuck. ESL obviously, but still need your advice

>>18135430
It’s a little stretch, but if we’re still talking cooler, rainy days, Mousse Illuminee.

>>18135501
I love A Whiff of Waffle Cone by them, but everything else I’ve tried by them has been from extremely mid to bad, unfortunately. The performance is usually a bit subpar as well.

They just don’t have any solid hits.

>*Everyone* is already wearing 4 completely different brands when most of the general public don’t even wear anything at all.
Fuck off. Get Megamare

Thanks a lot. I plan to visit Secrets Du Marais next week and I can test it there :) Turkuaz by Regalien looks nice too.

I'm >>18134365 , decided to just say fuck it to samples and shipping and ordered 75ml of Caron PUH after wearing an old sample.

whats the best lemon verbena scent?

>>18134182
>>18134312
So I tested Duro, and it faintly reminds me of CK Shock. Cherry isn't listed here but that's what I get mixed with spice and leather. It's not bad, but I'd rather get another leather frag, CK Shock, or use that money to get Baraonda.

Anyone tried the original LIdGE (eau extreme)? I have a bottle of LIdG EdP and the cacao is a little too strong for me....wondering if its worth busting open the wallet for the eau Extreme, when I smelled it years ago it was incredible, prompted me to buy the EDP but the EdP was a slight disappointment.

I have loved Azzaro the most wanted parfum. Do you think it can be used as an everyday winter fragance? It is so nice!

I finally pulled the trigger on a full BdJ bottle and I feel it's a tiny bit different than the decant I had previously. Do you also get like a faint BO smell for a couple of moments just after the opening? Not fecal notes like in Scandal but maybe more similar to something left in damp soil?

should I get pheromone cologne?

>>18135577
>Jew does jew shit
color me shocked

>>18133459
every single release in the Guilty pour homme line is a dissappointment

EdT is so weak there's barely any reason to wear it
EdP is the best of the line, but it's just a basic designer rose scent. If you want pepper Guerlain L'homme ideal intense is better. If you want rose Moschino Toy Boy is better.
Parfum is a weaker muddy EdP
Black is actually interesting, but has a weird performance issue considering the notes
Absolute is actually a leather powerhouse, but has absolute-ly nothing to do with the rest of the line.
Elixir is a poor man's, synthetic, Amouage Reflection Man. The huge upside is that you don't have to pay Amouage prices, but you don't get the crystal clarity of Reflection. Instead you get a hazy synthetic version for a third (half?) of the price.

>>18134672
>18134672
The fags on this board will shit talk this selection, but that's just because they have niche brain rot. Most of these fragrances are excellent, and the vast majority of men on earth would have a great time wearing them.

>>18134794
It smells like like Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce. Which means it smells like a bright clean soapy shower gel with notes of black pepper added to make it pop.

>I just need an inexpensive and inoffensive everyday fragrance that lasts at least 6 hours
You sound like a young (18-26 year old) person:
Davidoff - Cool Water
Rochas - L'Homme
Polo - Red
Montblanc - Individuel
John Varvatos - Artisan Pure
Moschino - Toy Boy

The above are all great, and they should be cheap too.

>>18135229
I think the opening is the classic Habit Rouge opener but slightly toned down. The drydown though is legitimately Parfums de Marly Althair. No I am not kidding. It is exactly the same scent. it was so strange to notice that.

Thoughts?
