/fa/ - Fashion

1 Million is perfect, also the cheapest one

I wear Terre d'Hermes. Quite pricey but I love it.

I wear ralph lauren double black. I dig it. I am curious what /fa/ thinks about it.

I usually wear Armani Sport Code. Not overbearing imo.

spicebomb

>>9098586

It's great if you want to smell like moonshine and 7up.

protip: You don't.

>>9098510
Despite both of them being PURE pleb status, literally everyone uses them, One Million and Acqua Di Gio.

One Million for night or crowded spaces, bad thing is people can smell the guy next to you wearing the same shit, but all girls I know loved it.

Acqua di Gio is just a personal favorite for me, great for summer and general daily activities. It's not that common in the small city I live in so I'm lucky the hype didn't get to AdG aswell and I can feel unique.

Pic thread related

Acqua Di Parma. Only right fragrance.

>>9098626
Spicebomb smells like sugary cereal to me

Give me your opinions /fa/

My current options: Bleu de Chanel, Polo Black, One Million, Cool water, ADG

I am an athletic young man, and go to uni with a BUNCH of other young, athletic, hot girls. I want a super safe cologne that will make girls drool.

I also have never bought cologne before this, I'm absolutely new to frags.

>>9099263
Bleu. Namedrop Chanel and it doesn't matter the smell, sluts will suck your dick.

Brise d'anus
It's pretty underground, you've probably never smelled it

>>9098647
As an interesting twist try layering One Million with Eccentric Molecule 2. The result is a more musky and mature fragrance.

>>9098510
Not a fan of Armani code or Versace eau fraiche, one million smells very good, but is pretty over powering, and very played out, Versace Eros is pretty good, has a nice vanilla note

Anybody know any good unisex scents that are moderately strong? All the ones I have used are so weak or don't even last half a day.

>>9101106
How is the absolute? I have the ordinary Fahrenheit which I love but haven't had a chance to try this.

Oh man 1million is sold at target now? I wore it for the longest time and I still enjoy it, but I had no clue it had become so common.

I alternate between TF Black Orchid, 1m, and Hanae Mori(name and scent) depending on the situation.

Black Orchid for interviews, night dates.
1m for sex dates.
HM for day dates/day time general.

Has anyone tried pic related? I´m not sure how to feel about it, I personally like the strong fragance, but there´s some people that simply don´t like it.

Whats /fa/ opinion on Dior Homme? Thinking about copping,like the smells and what it represents( according to the magnificent commercial with Pattison).

>>9099263

Bumping muh question.

Looking for an inoffensive, sexy, strongly projecting scent.

Just ordered this, am I right to be #hype?

>>9101108

It's to die for really, and discontinued so buy up stock if you can find it. It has the Fahrenheit opening, and then mellows into a great incense fragrance.

>>9101133

1 Million has been the best selling fragrance for a couple of years now.

>>9101152
Sure, it's in my collection. It's really good, although hardly the most versatile fragrance. Before this you had to go niche for such an in-your-face vetiver.

>>9101364
Inoffensive does not combine with strongly projecting. Sexy depends on the person who will be smelling you, some go wild for powerhouses, and others like a more clean scent.

>>9101371
It's a nice clean office-type fragrance. I love the tea Bvlgari uses ever since Jean-Claude Ellena did Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert for them. I'd say this is pretty inspired by that fragrance, but more conventional without falling into the boring aquatic tropes. Too bad about the lack of projection.

>>9101152
Smoky and woody. I absolutely love it. I plan on buying a full bottle after my sample runs out. Like the other anon said it is quite 'in your face' but not in an obnoxious way.

>>9099138
at first, yeah. let it stay for a while, then smell one more time

My go to
Smells great and not to strong

>>9100177
I prefer Pet de Chatte de Rei Duku.

The new from Valentino is perfect.

Bleu de Chanel is also nice.

>>9101152
i wear encre noire and wonderwood
a lot of girls dont like the scent but if that doesnt bother you, its a great fragrance

>>9101879
I had seen posts in other scent threads about 1m popularity, but really had no idea until now. Pretty interesting. I enjoy the fruity notes of it and the peppermint.

I like Dolce&Gabanna Light Blue. I went on a date with a girl who wore the female version of it and it was very nice. Smelled the men's version and it is pretty much the same. Like the name suggests, it is a light and airy scent, very soft and gives a good impression. I like citrusy gourmand scents, so I didn't cop it, but I would recommend it as a day fragrance.

>>9101152
Does it smell like Vetiver de Guerlain?

What's the best non-fuccboi/pleb perfume that effay recommends?

>>9101974
try sth from heeley, nez a nez, cb i hate perfume or similar shit

cmon step it up

>>9101972

Hell no.

>>9101915
Muh nigga

>>9102267
:^) smells so good but mine is almost out ;-;
The place I get it from is like 40 minutes away it's such a hassle going. And I hate ordering colognes online

>>9098647
I'm really interested in Invasion Barbare but unfortunatelly I don't have the money to cop it.

I used to use Chrome. It's cheap and great for day to day use but god damn did it not fucking last long.

anyone else too afraid to wear cologne because the squad might call you out on it?

How is Creed Green Irish Tweed not here?

If you wear most of the ones mentioned, you'll likely smell like multiple people you know (excluding Invasion Barbare and the Heely)

If you don't have the budget, Guerlain's Vetiver is your best bet.

If you do have more to play with for winter, go with Amouage's Interlude.

>>9102344
>Not having a fuccboi squad to style on

why would you buy any of that? get something that no one else wears you pleb

Also, in general. A quick top 5 in terms of compliments for me.

1. Aventus
2. Tobacco Vanille
3. Green Irish Tweed
4. Back to Black
5. Spiritueuse Double Vanille

>>9102389
Any qts?

Opinions?

>>9102096
That's the worst fragrance in the world, smells like old smelly shirts rotting in the attic.

>>9102162
Nice.

has anyone tried it ?

>>9098510
Anyone know anything about YSL cologne? I saw some in Macys once and I'm contemplating trying it. Should I?

>>9102661
muh opinion

>>9098522
This. The only thing i dislike about it is the tacky bottle design, but hey, it just sits on the shelf in my bathroom after all.
>tfw few days ago a qt grill in my class said that i smell lovely

>>9102741
L'homme and La nuir de l'homme get talked about a lot as great fragrances. M7 also has a good rep.

1 million by paco rabane, i have it and it's wonderful.
Gf will get mad if i use another one

>>9102389
I posted this in another frag, but I'm curious what Aventus is supposed to smell like?
I got a sample, and at first it smells kind of pineapply but also maybe a little bit like bug spray or something, and then later it smells like an ashtray. I've heard Aventus is notorious for having batches of varying quality; did I just get a bad batch or am I missing something?

Million

>>9103040

Sounds about right. You've just discovered it does not work very well on your skin. Tough luck. Extremely unlikely that you've gotten a bad batch or a "fake" sample.

I wrote a pasta for our fragrance generals based on some good stuff from one of our earlier threads. Since this is the defacto fragrance general I'll just post it here and hopefully it will get used in the next one.

Fragrance General

>Glossary
Notes: One or more (often synthetic) compounds that humans recognize as a particular smell (e.g., Lemon, Lavender).
Top notes: The notes present immediately after application. Usually fresh or sharp notes such as citrus and herbs.
Middle notes: The notes that emerge as the top notes fade. The heart of the fragrance. Usually rounded florals or spicy notes.
Base notes: The last notes to appear. Usually richer and darker notes such as woods and musks.
Accord: Common combination of notes that evoke a particular feel (e.g., Powdery, Aromatic).
Family/Group: The "genre" of a fragrance based on the note breakdown (e.g., Chypre, Fougère).
Longevity: How long the fragrance will last on your skin until it is completely unnoticeable.
Sillage: The size of the scent cloud or how far the fragrance projects its scent.
Perfumer: The "nose" or composer responsible for designing a fragrance.

>Concentrations
Eau de Cologne (EdC): About 2–6% aromatic compounds, historically a style of short-lived citrus fragrances originating in Cologne, Germany.
Eau de Toilette (EdT): 5-15% aromatic compounds. The most common concentration in designer fragrances.
Eau de Parfum (EdP), 10-20% aromatic compounds. The most common concentration in niche fragrances.
Pure Perfume/Perfume Extract: 15-40% aromatic compounds.

With higher concentrations expect a higher price, longevity and sillage, but certain note combinations outperform others so this is a rough guide.
Don't call fragrances colognes or after-shave unless that is what you're actually talking about.

>Designer/Niche
Most fragrances are made in big labs at the behalf of designers, or in-house at a few of them. Hundreds are released every year and most fail. They're generally between $30 and $120. Niche fragrances are made by the same perfumers, but with greater creative freedom, higher quality ingredients and much steeper prices. Don't expect to find many priced below $150.

>Flankers
In a perfect world these are interesting new takes on a fragrance. Examples of this includes Allure Homme Edition Blanche (ups the vanilla and adds a lemon note for a lemon-cream pie feel) and Allure Homme Sport (dials down the oriental notes while adding an aquatic one). Unfortunately, what usually happens is that a designer has a hit, and capitalizes on the brand by churning out cheaply made crap.

>Reformulations
IRFA and the EU regulate which compounds can be used in fragrances and in what quantities because of allergy and toxicity concerns. Some ingredients have been used to near extinction. These limits become stricter all the time and so recipes undergo changes to accommodate them, usually to their detriment. Vintage fragrances can be bought on eBay for die-hard fans.

>Resources
Fragrantica and Basenotes for info such as note breakdowns of specific fragrances.
FragranceX and FragranceNet are trusted online discounters, but mostly carry designers. Lucky Scent is a good retailer for niche fragrances, although many purchase directly from the niche brands themselves.
Sampling fragrances before you buy them is recommended as they perform differently from person to person. For designers go to a local store and try them on for free. For niche fragrances, buy samples at Lucky Scent, The Perfumed Court, First-in-Fragrance or Surrender to Chance.

>FAQ
>How many sprays and where?
This depends on the sillage of the fragrance. Generally, 1-2 sprays for EdPs and 2-5 for EdC/EdTs. Go for pulse points such as the neck and wrists.

>Why different fragrances for different seasons/times of day?
Temperature affects how we perceive certain notes. Warming or spicy notes smell overpowering when it is hot, but are cosy and inviting when it is cold. Aquatic or citrus notes are refreshing when it is hot, but can seem synthetic, boozy or sour when it is cold.

>What fragrance will make women sleep with me?
A fragrance will not be the deciding factor here.

Opinions on this?

>>9102398
Depends on the person who smells it. 'You smell amazing' countless times. Guys even ask what Aventus is. I've been asked if it's okay for a girl to smell me a few times. Like lean in and smell my neck. That's probably what a lot of guys want in a fragrance.

>>9100804
The Molecula itself is very interesting to mix up with other fragrances imo. I've tried Molecula with Pamplemousse this summer and liked a lot.

>>9102688

I've tried the concentree version. It's pretty good. Has the orange note from Terre D'Hermes, but is a much fresher, greener fragrance. Good for summer.

I use Dior Homme for everyday wear and body koros or CDG MAN2 for dates

This thread is real basic today...

d-does anyone know of a fragance that has a sweet smell like joop homme? I am new to /fa/ so excuse my bad taste

>>9101915
this

>>9103549
these threads are always surprisingly basic as fuck. like 90% of the time on the front page fuckboys throw around relatively niche names like rick, raf, damir casually but still spray mall juice on their neck

in like a reverse world itd be like seeing the front page dominated by discussion of american eagle and gap but then when u open up the fragrance thread people are shit talking amouage or serge lutens and make memes out of duchaufour and buxton

o yeah and if ur gonna quote me like
>rick
>niche
step outside and talk to anyone on ur block or for that matter the next city over and ask them who rick or raf are. they arent household names like gucci or LV trust.

Really digging this lately

>>9098647
>one milli and adg are the best even though they are cheap and all the other dumb cunts wear it at the club and stink up the place
>posts an info pic that has LDDM right there fucking on it

kill yourself you stupid cunt

LDDM is the best frag in existence. Yes girls love it. No it's not cheap. No it's not popular. Yes you will bdfo of anyone wearing fucking 1 gillion

asd

>>9103806
that's probably because this is a FASHION FORUM and not a FRAGRANCE FORUM you dumb cunt

cum

if the personality I'm trying to enhance is smart, sophisticated, modest, nice, funny, hipsterish, you get the picture, what's a relatively cheap scent that would go with that?

Not going for sex appeal, more just interesting

I really really like Calvin Klein Obsession and Aramis. Problem is, keep reading that they're "old men" cologne.

I've tried a bunch of samples and the only cologne I remotely like that's "modern" would be D&G The One.

Suggestion for a modern smelling cologne that's similar? Don't much care for aquatics and hate gourmands.

>>9103340
ok thx

call me a faggot but I wear RL polo blue and I get shit tons of compliments

Only problem is it doesn't last as long as i'd like. I use the body spray to deodorize my pits too so it's pretty strong initially.

>>9104924
>"old men" cologne.

No such thing. Lots of older perfumes have stood the test of time, but the two you mentioned are not the best examples in their genre, even at that price point, and so are considered somewhat dated.

For Obsession, try: Burberry London, Ambre Narguile, or Jaipur Homme

Aramis is okay, and still quite popular, but try: Bel Ami by Hermes, Comme des Garcons 2 Man or Givenchy Gentleman

Since you like 80s perfumes, try Fahrenheit. If you want to dip your toe into Niche perfumery Ambre Russe has a lot of notes you like and is one of my favorite oddball leather perfumes.

Buy A&F Fierce and get a lot of compliments and pussy

the only reason to spend more money is for your own ego

I usually get compliments for wearing Le Male by Jean-Paul Gaultier. Not too pricey and has a nice woodsy, vanilla-y kind of scent to it, great for autumn and winter. Hate the bottle design though.

>>9105133
smells like piss to me bro

>>9105137
I have no problem with deterring other men

>calling fragrances 'cologne'
sure is pleb in here

>>9105115
>considered somewhat dated

Thanks for the information man. Yeah I already tried Burberry London and didn't care for it, but I'll definitely try all the others.

Fahrenheit was on my to get list but I kept pushing it back...

>>9105075
I really like Polo Black and got compliments on it too. Nothing wrong with them.

>>9105133

It's a love it or hate it fragrance. For me it's sickly sweet and I prefer a more smoky vanilla, but I recognize that it's a well put together fragrance. Too bad about all the reformulations.

>>9105147
>pleb
>www.4chan.org
we have a detective among us

>>9104924
Obsession is too boozy

you come off smelling like an old date rapist thats been hanging at the bar drinking 2 for 1 cocktails trying to chase pussy all night and failing.

at least thats what i get from it.

>>9105125

you are wrong. if you still think you are right, go to like luckyscent or somewhere and order a few samples of some highly rated niche scents. try them out. then you will realise the difference between a quality perfume done right and mass produced, synthetic, designer garbage.

don't get me wrong, there are many, many designer scents that are amazing. there are also many niche houses that cost the earth (Bond no. 9, Creed) that have some frags that smell way too synthetic.

Then you have houses like CdG who are technically designer, yet produce stuff of a quality and quirkyness that could place them with the best of the best in the niche market.

tl;dr open your fucking nose you fucking wombat's cunt

>>9105151
Fahrenheit is fahrentastic hahaha :^)

no really, it is. its an 80s frag that still stands up to contemporary frags, imo.

im not that other guy, but if you dont have it get l'eu d'issey by issey miyake. its a little more floral than fahrenheit but it is just as good.

>>9102344
who the fuck wears fragrance for their fuccboi squad?

we wear fragrance for girls, and they fucking love it

>>9105221
> l'eu d'issey

My father's signature fragrance. Never really cared for it, but every time he wears it he does get a ton of compliments.

I'll definitely pick up fahrenheit. Thanks anon.

ive turned into such a fragrance snob. pls help /fa/

i've only tried some plebby fragrances but here are my faves in order:

>ysl - la nuit d'lhomme. shit got me tons of compliments
>viktor & rolf - spicebomb
>ysl - l'homme
>ysl - l'homme sport
>burberry - brit
>gucci - gucci

>>9098510
wear this everyday, Tom Ford. Stays subtle and never overpowering, very masculine.

>>9105255

Drop the bottom three.

>>9105274
I just tried this today, actually.
I can't even smell it on my wrist anymore.

But when i sprayed it, i instantly pictured it being perfect for a Karl Lagerfeld-esque dude that lives in a giant mansion, with pure white furniture, polar bear rugs, flooring, walls, etc.

Also, it smells to me like vanilla. Literally none of the reviews I read mentioned that as a note. But that was what i noticed first.

>>9105281
I never wear my Gucci - Gucci. And i'm saving burning through the rest of the l'homme sport for spring/summer.

>>9105274
It smells kind of musky to me. Girls love it because it sneaks up on them, you have to be right next to her for her to smell it

Someone else using this? Best cologne I ever had

>>9104860
i didn't ask you -- no.

>>9105611

topkek

>>9105835
I know its kinda pleb, but I get complimented on my smell all the time.

Thoughts on pic related? I sampled it and it was pretty neat imo.

>>9105899

If you're serious, know that it's an almost universally panned fragrance, not a mediocre one.

If light fougeres are your thing just go try Versace Pour Homme, it's miles better.

>>9105908

It's another fougere, they were the trend after aquatics started to die down and I'm not a huge fan, but you could do a lot worse than this one.

If you enjoy the mint note in this Roadster is another classic semi-recent fougere that features it heavily. Might be a good alternative for >>9105611 as well.

>>9103174
Posted about this earlier. Is nice.

>1 million

Can /fa/ rate my favourite?

ayy im into techno & i dress like im interested in techno too

what notes would suit me the best? i dont know anything about fragrances

>not dabbing whiskey behind your ears and rubbing tobacco under your fingernails
where am i?

Spicebomb, imo. That's a great price for it, too. Versace Eros is good, too.

What makes me smell like money?

>>9106912
to me, millesime imperial literally smells like dried fruits and money.

What's a fragrance you like on a girl? I have a few scents i like, but i want to find new ones.

>>9106993

Really? I get seawater and watermelon.

>>9107025
It depends on the girl. Just figure out what notes you like and what fits your personality.

>>9106330

You know when we talked about how some companies will just churn out cheap cash-in flankers that are absolute shit? Well, the Le Male flankers is a prime example of this. How many are we up to at this point? It must be 20+.
This one is one of the better ones (I'd give it a 5/10 as a fragrance), but the fact that it has nothing to do with the original Le Male except for marketing makes me hate it with a passion for autist reason so 0/10.

cerutti 1881

I don't know where to begin, so I'll go with a staple one.

>>9107075
Oh thank you... I adore it

>>9107098
forgot pic

>>9106889
probably obnoxious synthetic gourmand scents

paco rabannes 1 million, black xs
rochas man
joop homme
spicebomb

i wanna say a*men and it's flankers, but i really like those frags.

>>9107272

Rochas Man and Spicebomb are both alright. Not quite A*Men tier, but up there. I'm not into gourmands personally (Woody Spicy, Woody Floral Musk and Oriental Spicy all day every day), but they are clearly better than fucking black xs and joop!

>>9107272

thanks ill check these out

amount of plebs in this thread

>>9098510
Acqua di gio smells amazing.
Polo Black is a close second.
If you dont have the $75+ bucks to blow on a bottle of cologne i recommend Nautica White Sail. or RPM by avon. both are less then $45 and smell bomb

>>9109114
a reddish or dark tree, with a thick trunk

>>9109120
What shape are the leaves? Does it sometimes grow a little moss on the side? Does it smell fresh like grass and dark like oak, or light and refreshing?
Paint me a picture, homie.

>>9109131
kind of like maple leaves but not maple leaves, no moss fuck that shit, dark oak all the way, also theres a rare bird living in it

Okay cool, that was exactly what I was looking for. Very subtle, non-offensive without being Aqua di Gio. My other scents are all things like Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, Azzaro Pour Homme etc. etc. so this will be quite refreshing.

>>9102653
I own it, I wear it when i'm out on dates. Current gf really likes it.

This. I wore some the other day, at first I thought it smelled like New Car Scent little trees, but after a while it was lovely

What do you guys think of this one?

>>9110433
>pee
kek

I was one of the first people in the United States to buy 1 Million (in fact, I happened to be in Paris in the week it was released and I bought it on the spot after first smelling it) and I was rocking it way, way before it caught on and became Acqua di Gio 2.0.

I like to think I was influential in popularizing it, because hundreds of people have asked me "what cologne is that" when I first started using it.

can someone please tell me if "1mil smells good" is a meme or no

i own a bottle and im afraid im a pleb

>>9110522

It's a popular fragrance for a reason, but it's a clubbing fragrance and when they get that popular everyone just smells the same. It's become "plebe" because everyone is buying it, even plebes who don't know shit, but it enjoyed a nice long run in the fragrance community before it caught on with the mainstream.

If you care about fragrance, owning a bottle does not make you a plebe. If you just bought it because everyone else is, then yeah, you're a plebe. I've got it in my collection as I like it, but I never wear it out anymore.

>>9110518

You might have been, in a small way, but the fragrance community were pushing it hard on teh internets after it launched with nobody giving a shit and it is considered one of the few examples of a fragrance that became popular because the community embraced it and advertised it with online hype.

what are some good stuff fragrances to sample as a newb? looking for laidback stuff with wood or spice notes

Top Pleb

>>9110624
Also best fragrances IMO are Zegna Forte, Prada Luna Rossa, Bleu De Channel (even though it's played out)

I know I don't have the most distinctive view on fragrances but at least I don't spray half a bottle of meme perfume all over me and reek like a chemical accident.

>>9110575
Comme des Garcons has spicy/woody scents, maybe try those out (if you're from London, Berlin or Tokyo)

I'd say the best choice is to get a good amount of cash and go to small non commercial houses where they really create scents that are a bit deeper and rougher around the edges.

>>9110546
>plebe
Nigga do you even patrician

>>9098510
Anyone who is replying by telling which one is best is an idiot. Colognes and perfumes interact differently with different peoples body chemistry. To really know whether one suits you or not you have to test it on yourself. Not to mention smells are are entirely subjective. Go to a spehora and get one of the saleswomen to help you.

Cologne thread, and no-one has mentioned Diesel: Fuel for Life yet

The fuck is wrong with you people?

>>9110761
Me again;
been wearing that FFL for years and most people don't wear it, so you won't be like everyone else with 1mill, and it is the perfect combo of subtle and deep/musky

i have obsession for men, its pretty good. More of an evening fragrance

>>9110653

Eh, both forms are used.

>>9110575
I'd do the opposite of what >>9110644 recommends and start by trying out classics to get your bearings. There is a lot to learn though, so best to just get stuck in. Don't waste your time on new releases and flankers just yet, but do some research and find influential and well recieved classic fragrances that you think sound interesting. It's also okay to try out some stuff that people are giving shit, although I'd not recommend buying them unless you absolutely fall in love:

Christian Dior Eau Sauvage - When colognes first got dirty.

Guerlain Vetiver - The archetypical fresh and clean vetiver fragrance.

Fahrenheit - The archetypical 80s bad boy fragrance.

Hermes Terre d’Hermes - Jean-Claude Ellenas most popular fragrance, also when Super E went mainstream. One of the best modern "manly" fragrances in my opinion.

Boss Bottled & Acqua di Gio - The start of the end, or when mens fragrances jumped the shark. These fragrances cemented the trend for mens fragrances to be boring as shit. They were inoffensive and as mainstream as could be. Try them out, realize they are actually alright, if somewhat boring, and get angry that 90% of fragrances since then have been shitty copies.

Dior Homme & Dior Homme Intense - When mainstream mens fragrances got back off their asses and decided to fuck gender conventions and use an iris note to great effect.

>>9110708

The first part of your statement is true as fuck, but salemen/saleswomen are paid by the fragrance industry to shovel the newest crappy fragrance and should never be trusted.

>>9110761

It's okay. Reminiscent of Lolita Lempicka as Annick Mernardo worked on it, but too sweet for me personally.

>>9110778
thanks for the advice, but I basically know what I want- something low-key, woody, on the cleaner side, maybe kind of fresh

>>9098510

The One - decent cold weather
1 million - decent fall / winter
Versace - generic don't get unless you wanna smell like every other faggot who didn't do any research
Armani Code - decent night time but kind of generic
Acqua di Gio - daytime summer ONLY
Spicebomb - cold weather
Versace Eros - never tried
Polo Black - bro tier shit. nothing special at all, would not recommend
Bleu de Chanel - generic as fuck warm weather scent

How far do you want to take it? Do you just need something to get by? Or do you want to find your signature scent? If you want to find something unique, you gotta try a bunch of samples and look around for a while. Guide coming in next post

generic warm weather

If you're going to wear perfume (and don't think you have to), you might as well be f**kin' #based about it and stop half-assing. This method will equip you with a scent for any occasion, save you money, and expose you to the interesting world of fragrances!

If you are buying big bottles of cologne, you are DOING IT WRONG. Instead, buy smaller samples of different fragrances online, and here's why: When you buy a bottle of a scent, you often spend around $80-120 (if you're getting decent stuff), and you only get 1 scent. You will smell the same for every occasion, because you only have 1 scent. THAT IS WRONG. You can spend $40 on samples and end up with 8 different scents ($3-4 each + shipping) instead, and here's why that's better:

You should be basing your scent off of 4 things: The weather, the time of day, the occasion, and personal preference. If it's warm and sunny, you should smell different than if it's cold and sunny. Your spring fragrances are different from your summer, fall, and winter fragrances. Your daytime scents are different from your nighttime scents. Your date night perfume is different from the perfume you wear to work. Buying samples will allow you to have an appropriate scent for ANY and ALL occasions, for LESS money than 1 big bottle of perfume! Plus, here's the kicker: you get to try out new scents!

>>9111031

2/2

You can go to the store and test out fragrances for free and get a few samples, but the clerk won't keep giving them to you without you buying a bottle eventually. Also, people's preferences are known to change once they become more experienced with scents. The last thing you want to do is end up with a big bottle of perfume that you won't even put on anymore!

So do a little bit of research online and find some perfumes that you want to try, then order the samples from a sample website. Don't worry about not being able to smell the cologne before buying a sample online; if you get a fragrance you don't like, you only lose about $4 anyway, so no big deal. Do this until you find a few fragrances that you love, and then you can buy a bigger bottle, if you want. Or, you can just reorder your favorite samples, and try a few new ones in the next batch. Since the weather and occasion changes from day to day, you wont run out of the samples quickly, because you will be rotating them, in essence. The only big bottle you should buy is your work cologne (if you wear it to work), because you wear it 5 days a week, so you need more of it.

Basenotes and Fragrantica are the top websites for cologne and perfume reviews. There are many websites that sell samples, so just Google it. Feel free to message me with any questions, or if something didn't make sense. Happy smelling!

>>9111037

not a bad method actually. this combined with the prior infographic should be added to the sticky

>>9111037

Honestly, if you're new to the game and don't have a lot of money this is a pretty good way of going about it.

However, in my case I've had the interest for a while and I've got samples coming out of the wazoo. I'll buy a big bottle when I find something I think is fucking amazing, the sample has dried up and I know I'm gonna have to get some more. This is usually a good investment as it will last longer and reformulations are always a concern.

>>9111072
I wrote the sticky and the infographics I've seen thus far have been pretty dated and often just wrong. I agree that some of this info could go in, especially more emphasis on sampling rather than blind-buying and also the stuff about different occasions/time of day (although I did try to get that across in the FAQ bit).The stuff about the websites is already in there though, and we'd have to have a third post to fit much more in.

i went searching for tuscan leather and noir but ended up leaving with dg the one. chicks dig it for sure, but now I'm looking for something else to finish up winter. leather, wood, tea, tobacco, less vanilla would be great

any help?

>>9098510
comme des garcons amazingreen

>>9111299
Amazingreen smells too feminine for my tastes, although it's very nice.

>>9111247

Where the fuck did you search? There's no place that's going to carry Tuscan Leather AND dg the one.

>>9111333
it was a "luxury fragrance store" but the lady at the counter said they dont carry tom ford anymore, then she suggested the one

>>9111339

Hardly sounds that "luxury". Anyways, The One is pretty nice, if somewhat disappointing as longevity and sillage goes.

Tea for Two by L`Artisan Parfumeur and Tabarome by Creed seems to have some of the stuff you're looking for, although neither is crazy dark. Burberry London might be what you're looking for too, although it does not have any tea.

>>9111118

ok cool man. I'm the original author of that method. feel free to take whatever you want and add it to the sticky. yea it was meant for beginners getting into the world of fragrances. i wrote it a little while ago and just copy and pasted it here

cheers m8

The one and only

>>9111395
I'll check those out thanks. where do you guys go to try these in person? I'm guessing none of this shit is at the mall

>>9111433

Burberry London is at the mall, the others you'll have to order samples of unless you live in metropolis like NY or

LONDON

D
O

In that case you can usually track down specialty shops, or the house might have their own stores.

>>9111512
London is a p good cold weather scent, day or night. P versatile. I don't find that it lasts that long tho, mabye i just need to put on more

>>9111542

I'd agree with that, but most fragrances are like that for me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0hSxdQHJ_s

>>9111037
Youre wrong that its ALWAYS better to buy samples. If you find a scent you like, don't listen to this sashay. Buy the full bottle because 1) you'll be using it since you like it and 2) getting the same amount of fragrance as a big bottle will cost you W A Y more if you buy it in smaller decants. How else do you think these decant places make money you dumb shit

polo black is my fav

>>9111910

>calling me dumbshit

I addressed that in the guide, when you find a sample you like, THEN buy the bigger bottle if you want. This is to get people to try a bunch of scents for cheap and find the ones they want, then decide if they want to buy the bottle. I don't want people buying bottles of shit when they haven't had some time to develop their taste in fragrances.

Bargains:
>24 Gold by Scentstory
Niche
£20/100ml
Very sweet raspberry-like amber, vanilla, and woods
A strong contender for best cheapie, can be a bit overpowering because of how strong it is, strong compliment getter
>24 Platinum by Scentstory
Niche
£20/100ml
Mainly rose and vanilla with a musky backdrop
Also a very good cheapie, a few have commented that it smells very medical e.g. medicine or disinfectant
>Voyage by Nautica
Niche
£14/100ml
A very salty but also fruity smell, smells like when you just get out of the shower
Considered by many to be the GOAT of cheapies, surprisingly warm
>Rochas Man by Rochas

£22/100ml
Sweet coffee and vanilla with lavender backdropped
If you want to smell like Starbucks at 10am, get this, quite strong, endless comps
>Encre Noire by Lalique
Midway
£25/100ml
A very dark scent - wood and musk
Quite a 'deep' scent with a lot of texture, its sillage varies a lot
>Rocky Mountain Wood by DSQUARED
Designer
£24/50ml
Woods, as the name implies, this smells like wet wood in my opinion
More expensive than the other cheapies - a v. good casual frag
>Avant Garde by Lanvin
Niche
£20/100ml
Not very A-G at all as it smells like a mix between La Nuit, CK One and Spicebomb, listed notes are honey and tobacco with other warm notes
Very cozy and inviting, quite mature
>Man Eau Fraiche by Versace
Designer
£19/30ml
Smells like a field full of daisies and lemony light notes
Very inoffensive and great for casual use, sillage may not be that great though, a lot of similar frags that are better but this is the best cheap 'lemony fresh' frag

>>9110624
Which one do you like then ?

>>9111986

3/4

Pleb:
>Acqua di Gio by Armani
Designer
£28/30ml
The daddy of all aquatics - light, fruity, floral, it has it all
Used to be very popular, and still is, albeit a lot less, if you want to smell like everyone else you can wear this. This is brilliant though - very few frags can top this solely based on smell. Perry Ellis 360 Red is a cheap alternative to this which I think is actually better because of added cinnamon and it being stronger - £22/100ml. Panty dropper.
>1 Million by Paco Rabanne
Designer
£33/50ml
The strongest frag I know - VERY sweet and smells like bubblegum
A guilty pleasure of mine even though this is the signature fragrance of all middle eastern pedophiles, EXTREMELY STRONG, EXTREMELY SYNTHETIC. I'd only ever buy this for the bottle, Milton Lloyd's 'Pure Gold' is an exact replica and costs £3.50/50ml, go figure. Panty dropper.
>ayy lmao by Jean Paul Gaultier
Designer
£30/75ml
A sweet vanilla mint - very powdery, hit of lavender in it
There's no secret about who this frag is made for by bottle design and name. I personally like this smell but it reminds me of GCSE P.E. showers
>Cool Water by Davidoff
Designer
£17/40ml
Accordingly fresh water with grasses, but I get a bitter note from it
Currently the dadcore GOAT atm - the words 'Green Irish Tweed' describe this smell for me, a lot better than 'Cool Water', indeed very fresh though
>Fierce by A&F
Designer
£56/50ml
An apple scent which is very 'sporty' with added lavender
Fierce is... Fierce, if you're 15, wear this, if you're older, you can still wear this but you risk getting jumped. Underage panty dropper.

4/4

>Bleu de Chanel by Chanel
Designer
£48/50ml
I feel like I can describe this smell the best out of every frag I know - this smells like Frozen, it's very dreamy and quite polarising, it feels very 'cold' and 'blue', mainly because of how strong the mint in it, it has no menthol but you get the same null effect that menthol gives you albeit without the flavour, literally smells like Frozen I fucking swear to fuck
Great clubbing scent but it has recently being on the uprise. One of the top panty droppers of all time.

I'm gonna go to bed soon but here are some of what I think are the greatest colognes, can't be arsed to write for all of them.

GOAT:
>Aventus by Creed
>Dior Homme Intense by Dior
>La Nuit De L'Homme by YSL

>>9111986

>24 Gold, Rochas Man, Voyage, Avant Garde

None of these are niche. What the hell does "midway" niche even mean? Niche is a very specific market, and these fragrances are not it. 24 Gold _is_ a great bargain and somewhat of a meme because it's cheap yet good, but nothing about it is niche and nobody would classify it as such. Stop making shit up. Otherwise, nice writeup.

>>9111986
>>9111990

Like, I understand if you've gotten confused when we've spoken about certain perfumes as "niche quality", but niche and designer are two different markets. It's not a sliding scale describing some unique aspect of the fragrance.

>>9112022
>>9112001
I've always thought designer = mainstream fashion labels and niche = everything else
fuqq

Someone should archive this thread, as it's probably the most helpful fragrance thread I've seen in a long time.

>>9103174
good daily-wear for warm weather

>>9105611
bought a bottle, but after a couple of wears I couldn't handle how strong the floral notes were

>>9112041

It's not quite that clear cut. Guerlain for example is strictly in the fragrance industry, but is not considered niche, nor has historically anything in the Chanel line been, although they are taking steps to change that by establishing their Les Exsclusif line which you can only buy in their boutiques. Niche fragrances are often bold and experimental. They're often of high quality, and they often use expensive ingredients in high concentrations, but none of those things are what defines them as niche. No, it's the fact that they're not competing in the same market as Guerlain, Old Spice, Rochas Man, Dior, CK and the like that make them niche. They don't advertise in the same way and outside of the fragrance community there is very little crossover in the customer base of designers and niche. There's a reason why shops generally don't carry both. Also, just as there are pure fragrance houses that are considered designer, there are designer houses with niche lines. Even shitty designers such as Armani (the line is called Prive).

If you like you can simplify it as "It's not niche unless it's expensive" as this is pretty much true.

>>9112092

Kek, thought you said you had an obsession for men

Anyone tried Michael Kors?

>>9111984
FragranceNet has terrible reviews and who the hell buys cologne from Amazon and EBay? The risks of a fake is too high.

Wich is the manliest fragrance that fits a 23 years old? i've never used a cologne, they usually smell too feminine or too "old guy" for my liking

I recently moved up to Alaska, and I've yet to really accommodate myself to more wintery fragrances, so I'm not sure what to go with.
I've heard to go with Burberry a lot, I also really dug Polo Red when I tried it at a store. Nautica Voyage, while comparatively simple and more summery, seemed a nice fresh scent for an average, nice day.

For nights out, i've got plenty of options, but for the days and at the office, I'm still not entirely sure.

>>9112915
can't go wrong with DHI

I seriously hope every fags answering "1 Million" are trolling.

Go for Spicebomb OP.

I use one which is discontinued.

It's called Unscripted by Patrick Dempsey.

It's a very masculine smell, woody and spicy too. Smells pretty good and isn't overpowering.

is there something like a >comfycore cologne?

I like to use deodorant sticks for everyday use. This one smell great and feels fresh. deodorant sprays are horrible. As perfume is use Chanel Blue.

I did that too, kekked, and decided it would be stupid to post about it. I'm happy you did though.

>>9113372
I just love how such a bold and historically feminine top note is now considered manly. It's an amazing fragrance, but I'm not sure I'd recommend to a complete newbie, especially not one that is concerned about smelling "too feminine" and what age he is.

>>9112915
Traditionally "masculine" fragrances are often considered by some to be "old man" like (Eau Sauvage and Fahrenheit springs to mind). Perhaps try something a bit more modern with a touch of vetiver? Terre d'Hermes would be my first choice.

>>9113800

The fruit in the top is honestly my favorite part of the fragrance. It's the super-safe "sexy" drydown that gets boring as fuck when you smell it from every corner of the club.

>>9105221
l'eau bleue d'issey is better tbh

>>9112951

Burberry London is a winter fragrance that works well both in the day and the night for sure.

Habit Rouge by Guerlain, Allure Homme (original) by Chanel, and Bel Ami by Hermes all have some citrus while the requisite depth to work in winter/fall.

Wood-forward fragrances can also work well for the office during winter. Try Wonderwood by CdG, Bois du Portugal by Creed and Tam Dao by Diptyque.

Opinions on girl?
I tested some at Sephora and was pleasantly surprised but I'm curious to see what /fa/ thinks.

>>9114120

It's a straight up pepper fragrance. Not really girly at all. Also smells really cheap and performed horrible. Mall-tier, into the trash it goes.

whats the best site to order samples from in the US?

just want legit samples for relatively cheap.

not asking for ur favourite drink m8

>>9103317
How would one go about mixing up fragrances without just spraying in the points of circulation with both? (which I assume would be overdoing it)

>>9114154
Its only called Girl because its CdG x Pharell Williams, and they created it based on one of his songs with that name.

Im keen to try it, but i bet its really mainstream compared to what CdG usually rolls out

>>9116800
thats pretty much how i do it. heres how i layer CdG Black and Lolita Lempicka au Masculin (i layer these because i find Black is very steak saucey, very peppery and smells like a barbecue to me. there is supposed to be licorice notes in there but i dont get them. so, i added a really really sweetshop licorice with LLaM and it works perfectly with Black).

I spray Black twice. once on the front of the neck, once on one wrist, then put my wrists together and then touch them behind my ears. then i spray LLaM once to the same spot on the neck, twice on each wrist, and touch behind my ears again.

and on another note, dont listen to anyone that tells you not to rub your wrists together when you apply a frag. its old wives tale tier hooey. if the frag is strong, you dont want to spray it on both wrists. rubbing it does nothing and does not change the scent. it doesnt alter the drydown or anything. to think just rubbing your wrists gently together could alter the microscopic scent molecules or squash them or anything is pants on head retarded.

>>9116800

Don't mix, it's like having differently colored socks.

>>9116836
Don't rub unless you don't care about the top note. Dabbing is fine if you don't want to use that much juice.

1 Million.

I can recognize it a mile away and it is HEAVEN.

>>9098510
Anyone know of other citrus-based scents that can work in Fall/Winter? Recently discovered Orange Star by Tauer and fell in love.

>>9118092
tdh

>>9118155
I've tried it and liked Terre d'Hermes, but don't really see it as that much of a cold weather fragrance. Orange Star has an Amber-ish, incense-like feel that warms it up and really fits the season.

kyoto from comme des garcons incense line is the only option

goddammit.
inspired by the recent fragrance threads i wanted to get a new perfume ( I currently have Armani Code ).

Luckily i tried them all before buying. I ended up disliking a lot of popular fragrances like Green Irish Tweed (which smelled exactly like old moss from the woods. The scent itself is very interesting, but i couldnt fancy it for myself).
In the end i got to
>Mont Blanc - Emblem
>Kenneth Cole - Mankind
>Kenneth Cole - Connected

I thought of this before as well when I got into fragrance. But, upon doing a little research on Creed fragrances, you'll find that it was founded in 1790 in Paris, by James Henry Creed. So if somebody were to give you shit about the name, you could laugh at them, call them a pleb, etc.

what do you guys think of givenchy pour homme red label?

>>9117819
Someone should compile some pastebins for every thread starter.

Not much - sweet vanilla with strong sillage and longevity. The formula has been repeated over and over again. It's at a great price though and the bottle looks gorgeous. Pi Neo is a lot better imo

Hey /fa/ i'm pretty new on this board and new to fashion in general. I've just gotten into it because my little brother looks like a male model and I'm jealous.
Anyways what's a good fragrance for winter in the northwest? What would make it a good fragrance. Daytime please.

>>9121641
>cinnamon
>chocolate
>leather
>tobacco
and other 'deep dark' scents like that, preferably with strong spillage and longevity. Personally I don't find there to be a split between daytime and nighttime frags, only age, gender, and weather.

I'd recommend:
>Dior Homme Intense
>A*men Pure Malt
>A*men Pure Havane
>New Haarlem by Bond No. 9
>L'Air du Desert Marocain

But if you want something cheaper, try:
>Rochas Man
>Encre Noire
>Burberry London

>>9120363
nice man v helpful

>>9120452
>pee

CDG 2 or Tuscan Leather

>>9122936
Very different fragrances, CDG2 is an unique fizzy ink scent which is kinda 'blank' much like La Nuit or Burberry Brit. Tuscan Leather is just heavy leather that smells high class.

>>9121641

>What makes a good winter fragrance

Winter fragrances require really good sillage and longevity as the cold will really dampen that effect and kill any weaker fragrances within minutes.

As far as notes go there are a few different directions one can go for winter. I'll list them and give you an example of designer fragrances featuring each.

Incense: Fahrenheit Absolute
Leather: Knize Ten
Spices: Spicebomb (Cinnamon), La Nuit de l`Homme (Cardamom)
Tobacco: Burberry London
Gourmand: L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme Eau Extreme (Cacao), Rochas Man (Coffee), A*Men (Caramel)
Vanilla: Dior Homme Intense (Fuck it, while it is predominantly powdery to begin with I'm not going to recommend fucking Le Male when I could do this one instead)
Vetiver: Encre Noire
Amber: For good amber fragrances you have to go Niche, but most of these fragrances feature some ambery notes.

If you get real fucking winter wherever you are you can usually disregard the daytime/nighttime thing.

YSL La Nuit de L'Homme Vs. Bleu de Chanel

I'm looking for a daytime youthful scent. Would I be able to pull off wearing YSL La Nuit in the daytime? I'm currently leaning towards getting Bleu, but for some reason I'm also considering La Nuit.

Oh and this is for a work scent. 6 days a week, 8 hours a day.

>>9126890

For work I would go Bleu

>>9126904
No, La Nuit is way too powdery, sweet amd for lack of a better word slutty to wear to an office. try L'homme

Bleu de Chanel would be a fine choice.. Also check out Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche if you can find it.

I tried 1 Million when it first came out. It smells like a urinal cake.

I tried spicebomb got a lot of compliments and I liked it.

I like a few Creeds (next scent)

Right now I have the TF Cypress, D'Amber, Plum Japenis, and Tustanc Leather.

Cypress: 8/10 smells like a better Creed Irish Tweed
D'Amber: 9/10 citrusy, woody, a little spice. Its really good
Tuscan Leather: 7/10 Way over rated imo. Its definitely a memorable scent but I wouldn't say its a great one. I think it fits its name though.
Plum Japenis: 9/10 Being Japanese this smells like every Buddhist funeral I've ever been to. But it also smells musky which I think adds a bit of a seductive spin. I found this one to last the longest of the TF scents.

Tried Vanilla Tobacco wasn't a fan

That's more of a spring/summer fragrance. The orignal Allure Homme would work though.

Don't they have international shipping in australia or something? This is like the fifth time we've had an aussie ask us this.

Escentric molecules' molecule series is made both for mixing and wearing by itself since they're only one note.

Fragrance question
I have Acqua body spray (gift).
What makes it different from the real deal?

>>9129219
it literally says deodorant on the bottle. its like designer Axe. It is probably rather powerful, but wont have as good of longevity as an EDT

>You will smell the same for every occasion, because you only have 1 scent. THAT IS WRONG.

Nice opinion, dude.
