Givenchy is my favorite

Bleu de Chanel is pretty safe, right?

Tempted to go pic related but the review says the smell is very strong. Anyone who have them care to share their opinion?

Gucci guilty black

>>8209180
It's an Eau de Parfum in contrast to something like Blue de Chanel which is an Eau de Toilette - and less concentrated. Just be cautious with applying the scent and it shouldn't matter.

Personally i'm quite fond of it. The combination between Leather and Wood notes with a more flowery Jasmine and fruit (raspberry?) makes it a strong spring/summer scents without resorting to the classic alcoholic fresh lemon and flowers. It's quite distinct.

no other

opinions on Touch for Men by Burberry?

>>8209180
One of the true worth the hype niche frags imo.

>>8207472
I like this a lot but my gf doesnt. She prefers wonderwood. So I wear wonderwood.

nah just a novelty bottle. It just smells like straight up lemon pez/or lemon hand/bath soap not much else to it. Kinda a bummer was hoping I would at least get to use it as a air freshner tier but alas~

>>8209346
Fuck, I as so hype it might be decent. Need a new fragrance that's fun.

it smell like cdg wonderwood , longevity is topnotch , drydown is rather linear to my nose.

anyways best 20€ ive spend on a fragrance.

What's the most masculine summer fragrance?

>>8209868
>>8209934
that scent isn't exactly "summery" though

>>8209731
Some of them I dont have the box for anymore so thats just the back up bottle.

>>8209277
I have and hate it. It starts to smell gross at around 3 hours. I could see how somebody would like it though. Actually trying to sell mine.

Pretty basic, but I never stop hearing about how fucking great I smell.

Is cologne really needed?
I just wear some deodorant and bathe daily it smells nice enough.

>>8210315
It's more of a bonus than anything. Sure, washing your clothes and basic hygiene will make you smell nice, but it won't leave behind a strong, unique impression like a good cologne will. After wearing a cologne for a while you'll find that women that you have sexual encounters with mentioning "your smell" and how much they like it. Similarly, a whiff of a good cologne as someone walks by you is often enough to give you a good second look.

>>8210315
>Is cologne really needed?
not really if you're hygienic and wear a good, preferably unscented deodorant since scented deodorants usually smell like shit

think of frags as more like accessories

Does anyone have any experience with CdG frags? Just bought a bunch of samples from luckyscent

>>8210542
Here's my experience:
Wonderwood is GOAT

Odeur 53 is an acquired taste. It gave me headaches at first but I grew to like it once I was actually wearing it. Great summer fragrance.

2man is decent. I haven't really been wearing it as much as Wonderwood and Od53. It's a little more "formal" in my opinion.

>>8210542
/fa/ constantly recs CdG scents.

what did you get? i just have experience with 2 (not 2 Man) and absolutely love that ink note it has.

>>8209822
The blood of your enemies

Should I cop this? I picked up a little sample for free and I've been wearing it the past couple days and have gotten a few complements. Is it pleb shit or good?

>>8210576
Mont Blanc is pretty removed from pleb brands. If you like it, go grab it.

I just ordered this lol

>i love ugly

>>8210576

smells awesome and all my female friends like it. cop it!

pic related, my current fragrance

>>8209743
is it as good as wonderwood though ?
I got a sample of wonderwood and i absolutely love it but its quite expensive, would encre noire fill the gap that wonderwood left?

>>8209743

what are some good summer manly frags for going out to bars?

not even pleb

>>8207472

>>8212251
I like encre noire more, its a matter of taste obviously.
>>8212262
ebay, dont buy from the bulgarian sellers, some of them sell fake shit

>>8209756
I was thinking about this. how would this be for a teenager as a summer frag?

>>8212970
link me to 100ml for 20€ pls. cheapest i can find is 28.60€ or sth. on ebay germany

>>8212961
Enjoy smelling like your dad.

>>8213027
It's called normcore, faggot.

would encre noire fit 6"2' blue-haired blue-eyed 22 yo dadcore pleb?

>>8213087
doesnt fit dadcore as much as i can tell

I wear this one.

I don't care that it's a pleb fragnance, I like it.

what do you guys think? I'm going for a new fragrance, this one got me a lot of compliments, any recommendations?

>>8209142

idk i smelled it once and it was repulsive
like cheap air freshener
Maybe it just wasn't good day

>>8210300
how do you apply it?

Any other anons? How do you guys apply liddesey?

>>8213017
people say it's not a summer frag but i don't see the problem with it. i use it when i have a date but it's not a very good everyday fragrance. for $30 though you can't really go wrong

How do you go about matching fragrances to your skin? Do you have to spend $1000 on trial and error, or is there someone you can go to to smell your sweat and tell you what's going to work?

>>8213291

no seriously, I've had like 10 diffrent people say it smelled really nice. So anyway, any suggestions to find a new fragrance for the summer that's in the same price category?

> tfw everyone here seems to have 1000's to spend

>>8213309
oh. i'm trying to find something that comes off as professional and modern that i can wear for any occasion during the summer. any ideas?

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this in, but what's a good brand of strong antiperspirant? I've tried a bunch of stuff, but for some reason I always get really sweaty for no good reason.
Pic Related is what I've been using.

>>8213628
I've been using just Right Guard for the past few weeks. Maybe it's the talc that's in it, but I haven't been sweating nearly as much as I used to with stuff like Dove Men (which you shouldn't buy because that shit will ruin your clothes)

>>8213385
surest way to smell like whatever's a derogatory nickname for lower class people in your country

>>8213659
What kind of Right Guard? I've tried Right Guard before and it didn't do much

>>8213659
Hate dove for men deodorant. That shit clumps up and wasted the pits of one of my shirts. I like their bar soap though.

What does /fa/ think of Pour un homme de Caron? I just got it as a gift. I personally like the sweet fragrance, but my best friend says it smells like old man.

>>8214278
fragranitca.com can help you find colognes. eBay/amazon are good online places to buy; as well as fragrance.net.

>>8213942
it's a good strong fragrance that harkens back to a better time in mens fragrances, namely before the faggots at IFRA banned oakmoss
it's a classic, keep it

Thank you for this.

>>8214780
> IFRA banned oakmoss

Huh? No more chypres? Or no more MEN's chypres?

>>8213207
Creed Green Irish Tweed is often compared to that. It's also the only Creed fragrance worth their hype.

>>8213659
almost all antiperspirants will ruin your clothes because 99% use an aluminum compound as the active ingredient. that compound is what stains clothes.

it's either regular deodorant or "natural" antiperspirants than really don't work

>>8214115
>>8213317

most online fragrance stores, and sometimes the websites of niche fragrance houses themselves, offer samples for some fragrances. they usually run $2-8. try luckyscent, perfumedcourt, decantshop, fragrancex, and beautyencounter.

and there is always going to a store in person and trying out a scent for a day for free

>>8214851
Yeah, it's a carcinogen.

>>8213207
have it;
i like the smell, tbh it's a good mix between summer/coolness, BUT the smell lasts like 1 hour and you have to put a lot of perfume if you want people to smell it

>>8216974

nah it lasts a little longer, like 4 hours, and that depends only on yourself, little bit is enough for gf/when kissing someone, a lot is needed to leave behind a trail of the scent

>>8213304
Full spray on my collarbone from a few inches away while I'm not wearing a shirt. If I'm going to be somewhere crowded, I'll put a spritz on at least one wrist as well.

>>8214851
i'm sure they will or have come up with a synthetic version like with civet and ambergris

>>8213344
any ideas?

>>8217452
>niche
>$30

take your pick

I kind of got lost in the string of comments but at ~$30 you dont have many options, but some of them are very safe and functional. Bleu is one of such colognes that even collectors and frag nuts list in their top 10 S/S scents. Otherwise try L'eau D'issey but its got the same problem.

Whats a good summer frag for everyday use ?
22yo male here

>>8218745
preferably up to 70usd too.

hugo boss and mont blanc make good fragrances

>>8212287
Check the i hate perfume fragrances, they have some pretty unconventional frags and highly encourage buyers to mjx and match

>>8207472
What are some good, masculine floral scents? Unisex frags are welcome, too, as long as they aren't too feminine.

Most spring/summer frags for men tend to be citrusy, and I'm a bit tired of that.

just copped. any thoughts i tho8ught it'd be a nice summer scent

>>8218745
As someone already recommended Terre d'Hermes is nice. It could be used all year, I'd dare to say. But if you want something specific to summer try Un Jardin En Méditerranée

what does this smell like on you? it, super iso e, is supposedly different on everybody, and i got notes of coconut, almonds, sand, and sweat.

>>8221828
pick some notes you like based on what you have and buy in that direction
definitely try m7 and égoiste though

what are some good scents to cop under $100

>>8222504
most everything rec'd in this thread, and most scents in general, can easily be found online under $100/50mL. some like L'Eau d'Issey can be bought for $35/75mL (Amazon)

it's really only with niche fragrance houses like Creed, Le Labo or Byredo, where that gets difficult

>>8222484
Quite woody. It fades and then comes back in waves hours later. I've never had anything like it before. I've had a few compliments off people, but my girlfriend said I smell like her grandad lol.

>>8222504
Le Male
L'eau d'Issey
L'Homme

Try them out first though

>>8222484
I got a dusty wood smell from it, sort of like a book shop with a sweet incense

Just sprayed on Absolue Pour le Matin (sample) by Francis Kurkdjian because I forgot what it smells like.

I'm thinking about getting a sample of some of Killian's stuff, but we'll see.

Relevant, don't buy "Perfumes the A-Z Guide". I have it and it is just super subjective and favors older and more obscure scents.

D'Issey, YSL L'Homme and 1 Million all have 2/5. The book is just screams elitist.

>>8223031
To be fair, 1 Million does suck

>>8223053
I have a friend who wears it and gets tonnes of compliments. It might very well be a simple and technically "bad" perfume, but if people think it smells good, then isn't that the whole point?

gonna cop Dark Aoud by Montale, any thoughts with this one?

>>8223031
I'm pretty sure you just have piss poor taste stemming from an uncultured, ignorant nose
come back when you've smelled all the classic guerlains and try defending la nuit de shit

>>8223069
do you dress solely for the approval of others? of course not. why should fragrances, a fashion accessory, be any different?

>>8221828
how about something with a strong and upfront floral element? it's a bit hard to come by in decidedly masculine scents, but if don't mind wearing unisex, or even some women's, frags there are more options.

i like rose 31 (masculine) and iris 39 (unisex), both from le labo

>>8209303
how's that Eros working for you? I don't personally like it but it does get me tons of compliments from girls

I would fire anyone wearing avenuts

Anyone that wears Creed is a douche. They're the most unoriginal, disgusting fragrances with a fake brand heritage.

>>8226972
i like the way it smells, no one that i work with knows what it is. if i told them they would think i was talking about the band

>>8226819
creeds are only expensive because you have to reapply them every 30 minutes

>>8226995
i've only tried Green Irish Tweed, but it's longevity was pretty good

>>8226995
i spray it once a day on my wrist and i can smell it all day. i only use one spray because i dont like choking people with my smell. it goes on the wrist so when i am stuck next to a smelly client i can put my hand on my chin like i am thinking to avoid smelling them.

>>8226970
It's going to get pretty expensive, especially with all the experimenting you will be doing. A 1/2 oz. of many essential oils are like $10-20, but some are like $70 for just an 1/8 oz,

I'm already good when it comes to fragrances (Currently have Bleu de Chanel, Trussardi Uomo and YSL L'Homme) But I need a decent deodarant/anti transiparant. I don't really sweat (armpits don't get wet) but they only get smelly during the day.

>>8227114
i'm not a big sweater either, and Tom's of Main unscented does me just fine. Don't go for anti-persipirants as the aluminum compounds in them can stain clothing (and possibly cause cancer, but the science is still out on that and it could just be paranoid hippies)

>>8227068
>>8226970
You could try re-creating some of the Escentric Molecules fragrances. Namely the Ambroxan or Iso-E Super ones. Just be careful when handling either of those, and be sure to use latex gloves. You can find those ingredients, and bases from:

>>8227165
Not buying Creed is hardly a sign of being poor. It's more of a sign that you have discernment and common sense. Creed has been going down hill since they dropped their old Vetiver for "Original Vetiver".

Speaking of Vetiver. I'm thinking of copping Grey Vetiver by Tom Ford. Are there any other Vetiver fragrances I should check out? I want to see what my options are.

>>8227185

>>8228051
>implying men aren't all slag slut level easy

>>8228067
Neroli Portofino by TF

>>8228067
budget? age? the vast majority of summery male scents will definitely have a citrus element as dominant florals are usually regarded as feminine (unfortunately, which is why i usually go for unisex frags)

anyways, check out Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa, Terre d'Hermes, and, of course, Bleu de Chanel and YSL L'Homme Libre. Clinique Happy For Men if you are really on a tight budget, but it doesn't fit so well if you are past your early 20s.

>>8228716
Incense isn't a scent in particular. Have you smelled vetiver by itself, or vetiver incense?

I'm interested in Le Labo, which samples should I cop from their website?

>>8230222
Rose
Vetiver
Santal

>>8230222
from what i've tried:

Great
Iris 39
Lys 41 (very feminine, so avoid if that's not your thing)
Rose 31

Good
Bergamote 22
Labdanum 18

OK
Vetyver 46

Disliked (but neither are unpleasant)
Santal 33
Another 13 (actually unsure about this one, it changes slightly each time I wear it; damn Super Iso E)

I'm probably going to end up sampling their entire catalogue, but anyone here have experience with Neroli 36, Oud 27, and Ylang 49 in particular? Really interested in those the most.

>>8231059
>Le Labo Vetyver 46

Many reviewers say it smells pretty close to CdG 2 Man, and it costs almost twice as much. Is the Le Labo really worth it?

>>8228515
>buying frags off eBay

enjoy your anti-freeze and laundry detergent

>>8231492

Le Labo formulations are great. And they really do have good longevity. I broke a bottle of Santal three or four months and vacuumed up the glass. Now, every time I turn on my vacuum, all the air out of the vent still smells like it.

>>8231906
But compared to CdG 2 Man is it worth it, or what do you think of the comparison in general?

>>8232102

Well, you're kind of going for different things. They're both pushing that modern, unisex thing, but CdG scents have a deliberately kind of weird element to them. They're never afraid of the obviously synthetic notes and they often play them up to great effect. In comparison, Le Labo is about kind of taking this stripped down approach to vetiver. CdG Man 2 is probably a touch more complex, but the Vetiver 46 has it beat in terms of longevity, as I mentioned. Man 2 is more about the aggressive vetiver element while Vetiver 46 tries to round it out with other woody, slightly sweet notes to make the vetiver smoother.

You just gotta decide which approach suits you and your skin better and probably take into account the Le Labo's significant expense compared to the CdG.

whats the most normcore frag?

anyone know about Etat Libre d'Orange fragrances? they sell samples directly for fairly cheap and considering checking them out. the only problem is that they ship from France and i'm American so shipping costs may cancel out the low cost.

>>8233851
They have a pretty large sample set, 18 scents for €40 (~$55). Don't know how much shipping from France to the US will be.

>>8233851
>those tryhard frag names

>>8233851

They're very unusual, so don't expect anything too straightforward. They go for pretty complex and arresting accords and it's very much a love it or hate it sort of thing.

>>8234082

they're a french company fuckwit

I've tried oud, it's sort of a green/fresh take on oud but it's still very thick and strong. It gave me olfactory fatigue for a week and I was convinced all my frags had gone off.

it's called Fils de Dieu du Riz et des Agrumes now. apparently smells like limes, coconut, and ginger

pretty well-thought analysis of the two

I'd like to, but essential oils are expensive and all that trial & error to get a scent juuuuust right

>>8236772
>balls sweat

is it also true that women mix their vaginal fluids with their perfumes?

>>8209743

Wonderwood is more woody and artificial. Encre Noire has a deeper earthiness to it.

>>8227933
This is true. And often, they only care if a scent reminds them of "something their father would wear", or maybe even something a previous lover wore. Pretty sick shit if you really analyze it.

I make men's perfume with semen so I'd believe it.

Byredo M/M ink is still my favorite ink fragrance.

I'm going to order Rose, Iris and Santal samples from Le Labo. Any others that anyone's tried/recommends? I'm not getting Vetiver because I have 2Man and want to try some distinctly different stuff.

>>8239344
add bergamote 22 for something citrusy, and it's a great citrus

iris 39 and rose 31 are great choices. nice strong florals that aren't too out of place on a man

>>8239344
>I'm not getting Vetiver because I have 2Man and want to try some distinctly different stuff

Maybe think twice about the Rose, then? After a couple hours or so it becomes a mainly vetiver scent.

>>8239344
personally id recommend lys 41 over iris

>>8239436
Seconded

But it's decidedly more feminine than the perfectly unisex Iris 39 imo, so if that doesn't sound like your thing, >>8239344, stick with the Iris.

So do fragrances "go bad" after awhile?

I've had a few bottles of stuff I rarely use for a couple of years now. They still smell good, for now, at least. Should I consider decanting, or will that just exacerbate things?

>>8239472
Both Iris and Lys are feminine perfumes.

http://www.basenotes.net/ID26127171.html

>>8239621
yea but "going bad" means just losing their smell. store cool and dark for long life.

>decanting

lmao good lord no

>>8239621
Don't be one of those autistic faggots that keeps their fragrances in the original boxes. Just put them on a dresser/drawer out of strong light. Most fragrances have dark bottles anyway.

Which Le Labo is most suitable for summer? Most of fragrances are quite autumn/wintery.

+1 for red vetyver

Can someone give a 101 what general characteristics there can be to a Fragrance.

I got a tour at the store "fresh", "musky", ...
I don't know, I liked the smell of Fahrenheit form Dior, but I have no idea what one should look out for.
I'm looking for something nice when I go out/party/flirt.

>>8241178
buy something *you* like

do you really want to run around all evening smelling like something you don't like just cause the internet told you so?

do you really want to smell like shit just cause girls like it?

if your sense of smell is dead just get ck blue or something citrussy, it appeals to most chicks pretty well

avoid anything that smells very heavy and overbearing

>>8241220
yeah, I mean I take what I like, but there are too many products.

>>8240512
Iris 39 is much more fitting for a man than Lys 41

also,

>>8240738
Bergamote 22

Their florals are spring/summer appropriate, except for Labdanum 18 (which is technically a resin made from a flower, I think). Santal 33 and Vetyver 46 can also work for summer, too, definitely for nights at least.

>>8241258

I tried both M7 and Egoiste today. M7 smells similar to Tom Ford Noir in my opinion, not surprising as TF worked for YSL then. It's more cough-syrupy/rubber, I didn't really like it.

Egoiste smelt like lemon candy on my skin, really didn't like that either.

Anymore recommendations?

>>8241220
after a short period you dont even smell the fragrance on yourself anymore so who gives a fuck if you like it.
its all about the bitches.

>>8241814
You're obviously buying shit quality fragrances if you can't smell them faggot.

cop or not?
the tobacco notes sound edgy as fuk

>>8241960
The One for Men smells fucking amazing. You smell more spices and sandalwood than you do tobacco.

Cop.

Wearing it now. Love it. I don't think there is a better smelling fragrance . Just has no projection unless youre right next to someone.

>>8241921
you must be drenching yourself in it.
its not long before i get used to the smell and forget i'm wearing any until someone mentions it.

>>8241960
>>8242135
Def cop, but like anon said, projection is doodoo, you have to be less then a foot to smell it, but when you do, its so fucking good!

it's a fairly common note, actually. "edgy" shit would be CdG scents with notes of heated metal and packing tape

What are some of best summer fragrances? I'm willing to pay anything and also try and some niche shit.

I have no summer fragrances and wearing musky, oriental, spices stuff doesn't work when it's 100 degrees.

Is it just me or does YSL La Nuit not have the longevity it used to have?

I finally restocked after 3.5 years and I'm noticing a big difference.

Anyone else?
