Just got this in the mail today and It's the best fragrance I've ever bought. I get so many compliments from co workers and customers it's crazy well worth the money and it last over 10+hours

Good initiative, OP.

Here's the BBC perfume documentary in three parts:

Decent watch if you're into the subject.

Also, there are some great perfume communities/review sites at:

Should I cop?

Any thoughts?

>>9588237
1. would you like to wear this perfume?

2. do you have the money to spare for it?

if yes to both above questions, cop.

>>9588215

I watched this a while ago, very enjoyable.

jesus christ

>>9588283
oh yes, fuck. it's amazing how much time and money that can be spent on creating something so shitty.

>>9588256
Don't know. But just got my first 2 lubin samples today. Itasca, Bluff. Currently letting itasca dry down to see how much I like it.

>>9588213
Well considering how much you paid for it.....

It's alright to me.

Thoughts? Seems more casual and a little more unique than L'Homme, but I didn't get a good whiff of L'homme as I did this one. Seems good for a day-to-day college student's spring frag.

Or should I give L'homme a chance?

what do y'all think of wonderwood, wonderoud, or amazingreen? are they good fragrances for spring? i need something new and i want something woody or citrusy

just copped Ultra Zest. It's pretty nice but the orange/citrus wears off fairly quickly (about an hour) and it ends up smelling like A* Men. I like it, though.

>>9588728
Amazingreen is probably CdG's safest fragrance, it's fine but nothing really special and would work for spring. Wonderwood is probably too heavy for spring but pretty great. Haven't tried Wonderoud.

>>9589054

I was interested about that frag, cool man.

>>9588283
>>9588316

Talking about Axe, I AM kind of curious about bodysprays that DO smell good. A while ago I remember someone posting about a particular bodyspray that resembled Bleu de Chanel alot, anyone remember that particular one?

>>9588213
But can you pull it off?

>>9588728
> Wonderwood
Spectacular
> Wonderoud
From what I've heard, superfluous to Wonderwood.
> Amazingreen
Nothing special.

>>9588213
as a poorfag
wtf mang

what's a high quality dark/edgy scented cologne?

>>9589202
Drakkar Noir, I would lay off the dark scents since it's spring/Summer

>>9589202
Encre Noir.

>>9589202
Lalique Encre Noire
Narciso Rodriguez for Him
Bvlgari Black
Nasamoto Black Afgano
Comme des Garcons Incense Avignon
Amouage Memoir Man
Montale Black Aoud
Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme
Dior Fahrenheit Absolute

Tell me about Encre Noire.
It's really well-rated on basenotes but negative comments are very angry about the scent, saying it smells like weed.

>>9589443
The patchouli note gives more of a wet earth smell rather than the smell of tokin' da 'errb. Some people absolutely love it, and some hate it.
It's a very polarizing fragrance.

>>9589202
In the same vain as this guy, what about dark/edgy perfumes?

>>9589443
Well, it certainly has an earthy and smoky smell, but I wouldn't say it smells like weed though, more like a campfire. It's primarily a vetiver based fragrance but not in the way most vetivers are--that is, used in a very clean & soapy way--this one is dirty and focuses more on those earthy qualities.

If you can find a sample I would definitely go that route, its not a safe blind buy.

FWIW, a 'sport' flanker was just released and from what I understand it actually retains many of the qualities of the original. It might be a safer route into seeing if you like this kind of scent. It also would be a better purchase for right now with the warmer months approaching

>>9588213

I got a sample of this today, it makes my dick hard when I smell it.

been usin le nui homme for a couple of years, eveeyone loves it!!!

really smells goooood

i hear tell that issey miyake's l'eau d'issey is a great cologne. thoughts?

>>9588237
I have it, it's pretty good.

>>9589792
yeah, go intense though. Issey has a lot of inexpensive and unique scents really

>>9589786
Where did you get it?

>>9590359

eBay.

recently copped this
my favorite of all time is bvlgari black tho

Driving up to Denver Colorado tomorrow for a concert.

What are some stores I can check out (not necessarily unique to Denver) that typically will have a wider variety? I live in a smallish town, so my options are usually pretty much limited to Sephora.

>>9588213
smells like bug-spray in an ashtray

Over the past year I have bought roughly 120 small 1mL samples off the web. I really wanted to find my all-time favourite scent that I could wear year-round, and could be considered my "signature scent"

Last week I made my purchase.
100mL bottle of Tom Ford Private Blend - Oud Wood.

>>9590835
Nah it doesn't. And i don't even cre about the hype/ anti hype train.

Got pic as a request as a birthday gift in addition to the MFK here >>9591114

Just ordered some samples

CH 212 men
212 vip men
YSL La Nuit
YSL L'homme libre
Bleu de Chanel
Dior Fahrenheit
Dsquared he wood
D&G Light Blue pour homme

>>9592741
All solid, but kind of low-stakes. You gotta get a little crazy when ordering samples. Watch this:
> Invasion Barbare
> Puredistance M
> Clive Christian X
> Roja Nüwa

>>9592894

Yeah they're all safe. I'm saving your suggestions for later sample cops though!

best fragrance for making out with a close friend, who hasn't really thought of you sexually before hand (so it shouldnt be super sensual all of a sudden)

>>9588237
It's great in tandem with Diesel 'Only the Brave'

>>9594504

best fragrance to capture the attention of my hot TA and make him fall in love with me

> 2015
> not wearing a nugère

>>9594561

I miss that one, I emptied it long ago. But I think it's a bit too pricey

>>9594601
A TA's main concern will be discretion. You need to wear something subtle, that shows that you can keep things on the DL. And something that's not going to leave a trail of evidence on him.

So, not some flower-and-candy screamer. That rules out about 90% of women's perfumes. Go from there and figure out what you like.

>>9594601
>>9596056
Oh and if you're a dude, Le Male or Joop Homme and a scarf will get the message across.

>>9596056
Lord women's perfumes are terrible.
I know plenty of ladies love them and that's fair enough but I really dislike smelling like a slag

>>9588728
Amazingreen is clean, but one-dimensional. Wonderwood is a bit wintry but if you live somewhere with a colder spring, it could work. Wonderoud is nothing special. If you want an oud scent, there are much better, much cheaper options out there.

>>9589443
Very masculine and outdoorsy without being animalic (like Aventus) or too reliant on one note (like Wonderwood). I can see the associations with the patchouli and the marijuana smoke but I didn't get that with a skin test. The vetiver is really well used here without feeling dated.

>>9594504
Something that has already dried down so that you wear every day thereafter so they will be haunted by the memory of your mouth.

>>9596072
Not all of them. Mass marketed ones, yes. If you want to fuck your TA you're probably already a slag.

>>9594504
Dolce & Gabbana The One

>>9588213
My mommy just copped me Green Irish Tweed. I got a sample last summer of that and Aventus,
and I never got around to copping it. Went to Paris this week and found a shop that had every creed fragrance. Tried the Green Irish Tweed again and it was a must cop, it's just so refreshing. I'm gonna try to cop Aventus and maybe Virgin Island Water.

Just got this in the mail, 60% leather, 30% sugar, 10% woodsy/spice

I can't imagine a situation where it would be inappropriate. It's really nice. Lasts like 4.5 hours though, only weak point

>>9596622
>Creed Green Irish Tweed
>$470
>bar of Irish Spring soap
>$0.50

>>9596814
Why don't they sell this in Germany? I asked a rep in Douglas about this and she said they can't buy CH, the distributor won't sell it to them. Plenty of 212 sitting around though. What's the point of cutting off such a big market?

>>9597358
Where did you get that price from?

really digging Bottega Veneta.

the Pour Homme is also actually p good

>>9596072
>Lord women's perfumes are terrible.
lol u srs? men's cologne in general is shittier

>>9597537

Hey germanbro, dutchbro here, maybe you can get yours from this website www.parfumsuper.nl I got it from this site too and it's legit.

>>9596814

I agree, longevity could be better, also I would've liked it to project a little more, I'm burning through it because I do around 5/6 sprays every day.

But shit man it is good.
