/fa/ - Fashion

Oh switch fragrances often so I usually get the 3.3 oz bottles

>>9533508
Terre D' Hermes is better.

>>9533508
Disagree with >>9533618 Eau d'orange verte smells a lot more interesting.

But make sure to do a skin test. Citrus can fool you. I thought Dior Homme Cologne was my next buy after smelling it on paper. Then I did a skin test, and it turned out to be actually pretty unbearable.

>>9533618
Mein nigger

Acqua Di Gio is pleb tier, but god is it delicious during summer. Women truly do love the scent and it's not as commonly used as One Million, there is polls and statistics about both of these statements.

Speaking from personal experience, both men and women has given me creds for it, you won't even notice the scent during winter or clubs and other crowded areas unless they come close

>>9533508
Every scent from this Hermes line has extremely weak sillage and longetivity,

Oh man this reminds me, I need to find a new scent as well it is getting warmer, so Burberry Brit isn't gonna cut it much longer

Monitoring this thread, will order samples of what people recommend

>>9533964
There is Burberry Brit Summer. If you like Brit you can't go wrong. Almost smells the same but somehow works for summer.

>>9533912
Overplayed, seems like everyone fucking wears this

>>9533508
Has anyone ever given this a try?
It has great reviews and is only $25 for a 4.2oz bottle.
Not exactly a S/S scent, but some people say this will work well during those seasons.

>>9534340
>yeah I have midnight in paris EDP

I like it and got a few compliments on how I smell by people I respect.

This is a winter/fall scent and it last a life time with some pretty heavy projection.

>>9534750
I should definitely cop the EDP over the EDT, correct?
EDP is $27 for 2.5oz / EDT is $25 for 4.2oz
I read that the EDP has better projection and is a little less powdery.

issey miyake bleue

I'm thinking pic related this spring. I know it's considered fall/winter but I like it too much to limit it.
Not for really high-heat days, but definitely early spring.

Just bought Tom Ford's Orchid.

thoughts?

>>9535918
Velvet or Black Orchid?
Boy or girl?

>>9536061
>Boy or girl?
fuck off shitlord

>>9536115
What the fuck is your problem>

What are some nice fruity fragrances? I love fun sweet smelling stuff for summer, but sometimes they're a bit too much, anybody know any chill ones?

>>9533508
I wear azzaro chrome, clean and fresh citrus with a bit of a metallic tang to it, I think it'd fit the bill nicely.

>>9536164
>>9536115
>>9536061
You're welcome >>9535918 glad we could help.

>>9536239
I'm guessing you mean non-citrus fruit. In order of worthiness:
Creed Aventus
Creed Virgin Island Water
Dior Higher
Jill Sander Sun
Whatever summer edition

>>9536531
Jil Sander sun. Damn autocorrect.
Also forgot:
> Lacoste Red, Boss Bottled
Put those right up there next to Aventus.

>>9533618
GOAT

>>9536586
Let's not get carried away.

I'm looking for a nice fresh fragrance for Florida summers.
How does Eau Fraiche stack up against Pour Homme? I hear the Pour Homme is more "Masculine" with the tobacco note.

>>9537950
ughhhh


Both so plain and.... citrus-y

>>9537950
Neither. These aren't refreshing.

Any of these are better at the masculine part, and more refreshing to smell:

He Wood
Dior Homme Eau
Hugo
even RL Polo (go really easy on it though)

>>9536531
thanks bro i'll look into em

>>9533508
4711, issey miyake homme, chanel allure homme sport

Do /fa/'s tastes skew a certain way when it comes to cologne?

I want something tabacco-y and leathery and musky and coffee-y
and not by tom ford

>>9538380
>not by tom ford

Oh man my fuccboi is going to show when I say these.

The One for Men
Spicebomb
London for Men
Chergui Serge Lutens
Back to Black

>>9538362
Broad brush:
> Incense, leather, smoke accords
> upmarket/niche.
> Pro: CDG, Le Labo, Tom Ford, SL, Amouage
> Con: PR, D&G, Armani, CK

Pretty based actually. Most is objectively good taste.

The skew is slight. There are plenty of contradictions to what I just wrote.

>>9538380
Pure Havana, or anything with "Black" or "Noir" in the name other than Drakkar.

how's dior homme sport for the spring/summer? liked the reg dior homme before they reformulated but it's too powdery imo

>>9533508
Nautica Voyage

>>9534770
yeah go for edp.

I never had the edt version but only heard it is a disappointment when compared to the edp.

Got given Nuit d’Issey Issey Miyake recently. Should I keep it or return it?

>>9533508

I'm thinking of getting Ultra Zest for spring/summer, pic related.

>>9533912

Perry Ellis 360 Red smells just like this but is way cheaper. Might be a tip for people that want something cheap and good.

>>9534340

I have the EdT, it's not for me. Rubbery lavender, very intricate fragrance, not really a crowd pleaser. Imo.

>>9537950

Left. Nothing wrong with it.

Just copped this for spring, pretty excited about it. Looking to add one or two more to my rotation, thinking about 212 Men. Any others I should look at?

>>9540703
>L'eau Boisée
Solid. It's a lot like Terre or Voyage d'Hermes, but that's not a bad thing.
>212
also good, classic top-tier designer that apparently improved with reformulation (ironic, because it's the one vintage I have)
>Others?
Anything I suppose. Go to a good perfume store and tell them to give you their best shot, and don't let them pitch what's popular or expensive. Put them on the spot.
You'll probably get French Lover.

>>9539418
Do you like it or not?

>>9540943
I don't know, that's why I'm asking you fuccbois.

Dior Fahrenheit? How bad, really, has it been neutered by reformulations?

I never knowingly smelled the vintage, but I just smelled the current formulation at the store and it beats just about everything else.

(I do feel like I've smelled it before. I don't know when, but it feels like something from deep in childhood. That's either because it's so good or I actually did smell it and the reform isn't so bad.)

>>9541351
I have it, it's horrible, I got sick of it after 2 months.

>>9538564
I've heard good things about it, and I can see why. Some day I'll get around to buying a bottle.

How's this for summer?

>>9538396
>tobacco
>leather
>musky

>recommends spicebomb

lmfao

>>9541351
>I do feel like I've smelled it before. I don't know when

Probably when you were cutting your lawn. It smells exactly like Diesel and Grass to me.

I got a sample of bottega Veneta Pour Homme Extreme, It smells pretty good imo

>>9542922
there are diesel mowers?

>>9542440
idk how it is for summer but my girl bought it for me and goddamn its nice. girls love it.

>>9541351
i have it, saving it for warmer weather though. i don't feel it suits me in winter... it's really unique but it's got a bit of a sweatiness to it that i'm not sure about

does anyone know about bvlgari scents? i own black and love it, interested in getting something else from them

>>9546320
Aqva and Aqva Marine are both very good aquatics, I've heard good things about Pour Homme & Pour Homme Soir as well as Man In Black

Lately I've been wearing YSL L'homme every day. I really like the way it smells. I just wish the scent didn't dissipate so quickly.

>>9546398
i might pick up the aqva, i don't actually own any aquatic scents yet (smelled too many fuckboys in cool water ugh) but i'm willing to try something if it's unique and not so sweet

>>9540622
i have a bottle of that coming in the mail and I can't wait. it was a blind buy so hopefully it doesn't suck?

>>9533508
Get U. 2 bucks at wal-mart and it smells fantastic. Lasts for days, too.

>>9541153
If you don't know, then you don't like it

>>9546240
Good enough answer for me.

>>9547286
looks, smells #expensive dog

>>9547286
>for a man or a woman
lolwut

>>9547286
>trademarking designer imposters
Lmao

Any anons got an opinion on this?

>>9533508
whats a good winter fragrance? Ausfag here and we are heading into autumn/winter

price range: <$120

preferably something not every douche club boy wears

>>9538288
homme sport extreme you must mean.

>>9546482
right, even the intense version is lacking. kinda sucks. It's the type of cologne you need to have a backup atomizer in the car for.

Just got a bottle of Gucci Rush for men in the mail today. I'm not sure how I feel about it, someone please validate my purchase

>>9548623

I love Rocky Mountain Wood but it's way below your max price so maybe you could look for something a bit more niche.

>>9538396
Seconding Back to Black. We can match!

>>9538380
Cuir de Russie from Chanel's Les Exclusifs (no coffee), Patchouly Boheme (if you like patchouli obviously), the male Carven one

>>9548886
i like patchouli

>>9538288
>issey miyaki homme
Ma nigga

>>9546545

Hey, once you get it please report back!

>>9542440
I use that for summer, smells heaps good, girls luv it. Also lasts long in the heat.

>>9542440
Also it's not super popular so props smell being less common. Don't wanna smell like the dude next to you lol.

>>9542440
read some reviews bro its garbage

>>9548663
Yo, I thought it was just me. Sprayed that shit in Sephora, it was gone in 30 seconds. I was like DAMN.

I always want to get more cologne but its so expensive i cant justify a blind buy, what are some stores that carry legit scents not the average polo and a few other big name smells? I would like to try >>9535723 and >>9536531 especially the Jil Sanders one. Or am i shit out of luck since i dont like in a hip city that gets real designer products

>>9538396
Killian's Back to Black?

Iris de'Argent is a nice one for spring, but it's a little outside of the price range.

Amarcord is really nice too, but the incense throws some people off, and it's fuccboi expensive.

Pic related is my next fragrance. Seems like a great spring/summer night out.

>>9548623
Black Aoud by Montale. Classic, but strong and projects like a mofo. It stays on you despite cold and dry air.

>>9549884
Buy samples from luckyscent.

>>9548623
Wonderwood.

anyone know a scent with metallic notes?
I see this description for many cdg scents but I've smelled a couple and not been able to pick up on it.. if i could find one where it's prominent i feel like i'd love it though

>>9550629
I think Azzaro Chrome has metalic note, but it's very cheap.

>>9550629

Metallic? Like blood? Well, maybe you'll find something here http://www.fragrantica.com/notes/Metallic-notes-458.html

>>9550675
i've been looking through there a while... not too long ago i bought a mini of cdg 2 and it's either fake or i'm too pleb to get it because i don't pick up on ANY of the notes people describe it with

I'm thinking of ordering a sample of odeur 53 because i really want to get into comme des garcons. maybe i'm just not ready :(

>>9550661
hmm... is the spice in it very strong? can't stand spicy colognes. i don't mind (sometimes actually prefer) a synthetic smell but i don't care for the coriander/cardamom/whatever it is i smell so often in the mens department

>>9550705
>hmm... is the spice in it very strong? can't stand spicy colognes. i don't mind (sometimes actually prefer) a synthetic smell but i don't care for the coriander/cardamom/whatever it is i smell so often in the mens department
It's 80's powerhouse, so yes. Spices and musk.

>>9533508
Just copped this few hours ago. I will tell you how it is when i receive it pic related

>>9550705

Sometimes I get scared about buying fakes, give the bottle a gentle swirl or shake. Might help bring out different notes.

I bought CH Men a while back and all I was getting was fresh cut grass the first couple of days, worried it was fake. After a while it started to come alive for some reason and actually smell the part.

>>9550629
Odeur 53 smells like a warm heat sink.

>>9550715
>Sometimes I get scared about buying fakes

Stop buying perfumes from sketchy websites and Ebay

What do you guys think of this? Too pleb?
I smelled it at Sephora when I was hunting for a winter scent a while back and thought it was pretty good.

Anyone here tried Encre Noire Sport?

Yohji Homme interests me. The notes look good and it sems really well regarded. Is it worth hunting down on ebay, i.e. the effort of buying, trying, and reselling if I don't like it?

>>9551021
basically the most basic choice there is, along with A&F Fierce and Acqua di Gio. It's way past its prime when it was the Terre d'Hermes of the late 90s.

It's actually not bad, but not great. And people will have recent memories of some else's overuse.

What do you guys think about pic related? I love it.

>>9537950

Almost done with my bottle. Smelled great at the store, but eventually turned into a generic, boring "clean" parfum.


Next cop will probably be d&g light blue - discover vulcano

>>9549896
Isn't that the only one?

>>9549910
I like this one for the cold.

>>9550629
Demeter's Pruning Shears and Tarnish. La Vierge de Fer from Serge Lutens if you can find it.

>>9550711
You bought it blind? Huh. Where are you from that Creed is hard to find? The Marshalls near where I live carried a bunch of Creed fragrances a few years back. I find Aventus really animalic in a way I don't think many men could "pull off."

Why are there different fragrances for cold and warm weather? Does the temperature have a noticeable effect on the smell?

What would you recommend for a male living in Phoenix (100F/38C) on a regular basis? I'm currently wearing One Million but feel as if its too strongly associated with fratbros that degrade it.

>>9552848
Certain scents feel better in different weather. For example, very sweet or gourmand scents can be cloying in warm weather.

>>9552749
I'd say it's a decent fragrance for a young man

>>9552848

Certain scents can be too strong for summer wear. Also, iirc summer scents are more water based whereas winter scents are more alcohol based. The heated alcohol might become too strong under the heat.

Also take atmosphere into account. During the summer, it's hot and fun. Fragrances try to compliment that by using aquatic notes (the beach) and more fruity stuff.
In the winter, it's darker and the atmosphere changes, so darker heavier notes become more prominent

So take season and time of day into account

Any of you fuccbois ever tried this?
The price makes it pretty enticing, and people say it's like a slightly more aquatic La Nuit (and who doesn't love La Nuit?).

>>9542440
it sucks. i know alot of people that buy it simply so they can say they know Versace lol

sorta looking to change perfume since i can't get the Givenchy Pi in my country (they do not sell it anywhere for some reason)

anyone similar?

>>9553256
Lanvin Arpege Pour Homme
Jean Paul Gaultier Gaultier 2
