/fa/ - Fashion

Daily reminder that La Nuit de L'Homme is the best fragance you can buy, it's fucking lovely and sexy.

Girls from every age range love it, more than 10 different girs i've been fell in love with it.

Everyone from 8 years old to 99+ will compliment you for smelling so fucking good.

This is the best advice i got from /fa/ a long time ago, and i'm in an eternal debt for it

What's the best place to order samples?
Was gonna use luckyscent but they don't seem to offer malle carnal flower

>>9886288
Nice dubs

been doing the oud lines myself. YSL M7, Dior Homme. I've been liking em a lot

>>9886211
Just bought a shit ton of testers for funsies.

Is it just me or is One Million an inherently douchey fragrance? Just the imagery of it, not necessary the smell. Something about it to me smacks of Arab college students wearing big pony Polo shirts.

>>9886288
how long will the 3.3 oz last with daily use?

>>9886509
About 2 years by my estimation. I've never made it through 100ml of anything though. I spent a summer of daily use on one frag to get halfway through a 30ml bottle.

>>9886211

What fragrance would you guys recommend for someone who dresses like the guy on the pic (ie. stereotypical black-white-grey minimalist)?

I feel like a lot of the fresh, aquatic or "green" scents clash with this sort of aesthetic. I need something that's a bit "darker". Any suggestions?

>>9886288
Tried it in store, smelled like black person cologne. I personally prefer >>9886211

That when i'm going out and Versace Man Eau Fraiche for daily use. I've gotten the most compliments from that one. Also have D&G Light Blue but i don't like that one as much, doesn't last very long and isn't as captivating as Versace.

Might try Dior Homme next, perhaps a YSL sport fragrance.

>>9886541
you might like op's. i've been doing oud oils made from agarwood. . they are all very different. op's scent might appeal to ya though

I've heard the longetivity of YSL frags is weak, is that true?

>>9886587
I don't think that's the case with L'Homme. I mean i spray once on my chest/neck and then once on my wrists and then rub them together so i could be overdoing it, but i've never had anyone complain that i smell too much.

>>9886305
A lot of places don't offer some things. I've had good luck with decantshop, and they offer a rewards program so I TRY to get stuff from them.

Otherwise, luckyscent and perfumecourt are the gotos for my usual places.

it's a sophisticated smell. how did /fa/ and me get into it at same time? Try the M7

>>9886531
oh wow. is that only wrists and neck or...?

>>9886587
Not all of them, just L'Homme normally.

YSL Live Jazz is excellent, and L'Homme Intense is also superior to L'Homme, although not as suitable for spring and summer months. I used to like libre, but I think I like live jazz more since it doesn't have a synthetic drydown.

>>9886503
> dior homme
> oud
wut

>>9886695
yeah, 2-4 sprays usually. Depending on how much I want to project.

> Chest, or inside elbows
very little projection

> Back of neck
just right for most situations

> Front of neck, or behind ears
a little more projection for louder settings

> Wrists
more, usually too much projection

>>9886288
If you can get past the heinous incense opening note, it's okay

Still super overrated imo

>>9886541
Tom Ford Oud Wood
Voyage d'Hermes EdP
CDG Kyoto
CDG Wonderwood
By Killian Straight to Heaven
Iso E Super (i.e. Molecule 01)

o there's a big diff between the l homme and the M7-------a few hundred dollars. I was thinking they were the same.

>>9887199
where do you all get m7 it's out of production and runs like $300 a 50ml
talking like you can pick it up any corner store

>>9887199
M7 and L'Homme cost about the same unless you're looking for a vintage m7 bottle. Pic related current m7 is actually cheaper per ml than L'Homme, and comparable in quality to the vintage, from what I've heard.

>>9886508
It's not just you.

But, I don't think 1M is intrinsically so bad out of its context, although it's not great. That marketing though, pretty much "WEAR THIS IF YOU'RE AN INSUFFERABLE DOUCHE", with a fucking gold brick in case you didn't quite get the message. This makes sure only the types of dudes you describe, or worse, wear it.

>>9887361

This, it's clearly marketed towards the lowest common denominator, and it's been pretty successful at reaching its target audience.

Here in eastern eu, it's mostly worn by gypsies, middle-aged meatheads and teenage alpha male wannabes. Usually not the kind of people you want to identify with.

>tfw like Chanel Allure Homme Sport residual smell
>tfw can't stand it for like 3 hours after spraying

>>9887322
that's not m7 that's that oud absolu garbage

>>9887317
an ebay seller. we got to talking and both of us are into oud. I turned him onto a an oud seller and he hooked me up.

>sample multiple well-regarded fragrances
>they're all kinda meh

Do I just hate perfumes?

>>9886288
it's a v good scent. it's the longevity that kills it for me (<4 hours). extremely popular though

>>9886587
l'homme is played out and generic. l'nuit is a good scent just doesn't last too long imo

How do you feel about Dior Homme Cologne?

>>9887859
go niche if the designer stuff is boring you

if you were trying niche stuff, try designer and their, usually, more mainstream sensibilities (that's just a statement of fact, not one of quality)

current spring/summer frag

>>9886687
Lucky scent didn't have one I wanted and perfumecourt was one of the most messy websites I've been on. Looked like thousands of sample packets. Didn't feel like dealing with it so I quit haha

>>9886732
Not even a hypeboi for it, but the shit is such a sure shot. Wearing it doesn't feel like much, but it seems to jump out and make a huge impression on people.

>La Nuit de L'Homme has weak sillage, projection, and longevity

Was there a reformulation recently or something? My bottle was a couple years old, but it still seemed to perform pretty well, and I only did the usual 2-3 sprays

>>9888392
My rotation

To my great shame, I've yet to try any Amouages

>>9888487
yeah idk. on my skin, it last for ever. put it on 8 am and it's there when i'm going to bed. i too just do 3 sprays

i don't get the "weak projection" meme

>>9888507
3 sprays on both wrists?

>>9888511
one on the chest, one on the back of my neck, one on a wrist and then tap the wrists together twice

i meant performance instead of projection btw, on this post>>9888507

>>9888274
Better on paper than on my skin. It's just tart, acidic lemon and it becomes way unpleasant immediately after applying, at least for me.
Dior Homme Sport has the same top notes. If you want those top notes all day, then this is for you.

How is this?

>>9888487
cause these fuccbois all use hurr durr masculine scented bodywash then spray on effeminate little la nuit and wonder why they don't smell anything
gotta go unscented

>>9888968

not really, a lot of people are complaining on fragrantica and basenotes about the newer bottles having really weak performance and longevity

>>9886557
>>9886741

thanks for the recommendations. l'homme isn't really my thing (especially since it dies down pretty fast on my skin) and some of the niche recommendations on the second list are a bit too pricy for me, but i'm gonna try the rest

i also have bvlgari black on my list that has a similarly dark and "unique" feel and it's pretty damn cheap too. anyone tried that?

>>9888669
Great, but opinionated. First whiff you might smell like you spilled black coffee on yourself, but like freshly-roasted artisanal stuff. Then it's kind of its own thing. It's really nice but definitely sample it before you buy.

>>9887859
How much do you like things that smell good? Not just fragrances, but anything? Maybe you just don't think or care about scents all that much.

>>9889219
bvalgari black is about ten minutes of tar/rubber then three hours of dark, sickly sweet vanilla
like most of menardo's frags, it's something interesting made shit by cheap ingredients and money grubbing houses

scent pleb here
what's a good, non-common scent?
list of shit i've used to get an idea for what kinda shit i like:
givenchy play, pi
1million
spice bomb
d&g the one
diesel only the brave
prada luna rossa

>>9887734
I never got to smell the original M7, but reviews I read claim they're very similar, as in some like one and some like the other. Have I been misled?
I'm not that amazed by the new one tbh, so now I really don't know.

i know nothing about fragrances but i got a versace eros perfume as a gift is it any good? i think it smells kinda shitty

>>9890513
It's not good if it smells shitty to you.

Let it dry down and check the scent throughout the day before writing it off though.

favorite rainy day fragrances?

L'Homme is good, calm down

>>9890300

try hanae mori hm if you like sweet things

>>9890692
Hermes concentre d'orange verte
Le labo neroli 36

>>9890307
the old one is good because of the depth it creates, it's massive and three dimensional, and it will wear YOU if you don't have the balls to wear it
in comparison oud absolu is breezy throwaway stuff
just the difference in ingredient quality is worth noting. I'd defs try and get my hands on a sample of real m7 if I were you

it's like the difference between egoist cologne concentree and the one currently on the shelves, or old and new antaeus, or any of the new guerlains.

What's a good woody cologne.

>>9891976
If you don't mind paying premium price for something that you'd have to spray 5 times to get anyone to notice and is gone after 2 hours.

What are some "work-safe" scents?

what's your guy's experiences with etat libre de orange? specifically considering divine enfant.

>>9890692
I really like amber on a cool rainy day. I've been wearing Ambre Oud by Kilian. On a warm rainy day, something green like Chanel's Bel Respiro.

>>9888493
I like your taste. I'm surprised you use 2 as a warm weather scent. The first time I tried it, a few years ago, it struck me as warmer. How do you like for the summer? I was thinking of ordering the 25mL from Sephora since I need to do an order anyway.

>>9887859
Can you identify things you like and dislike in each scent?

>>9890300
Which do you like?

>>9886508
It's not you. What other testers did you get?

>>9886509
>3.3oz
More than two years.

>>9886741
Seconding Kyoto and Oud Wood. If >>9886541
finds buying the niche frags too expensive, maybe try buying miniatures? Kilian travel sets go for about 160 USD.

>>9892412
Depends what your workplace and personality are like. Maybe an EDT version of the EDP you wear when you go out at night would be a good idea? What kinds of scents do you like?

>>9891976
There are a ton! What other notes are you interested in?

>>9892533
>Depends what your workplace and personality are like. Maybe an EDT version of the EDP you wear when you go out at night would be a good idea? What kinds of scents do you like?

Citrus, pls.

What else should I add to the cart?

>>9892903
CdG kyoto

Also try the Allure edition blanche tbh

>>9886541

If you lean metro, try Bulgari Black. If you are a little more masculine, try Farenheit

>>9886211
I got a tester of MMM Jazz Club and I've been trying out.

I love the scent but it's got a few problems. At one pump, there's too little cologne, and it can barely be smelled. At two pumps, however, it's too strong, and smells overpowering for a little while.

None of this is that big of a problem, because the scent becomes extremely weak after a couple hours.

All in all, I might get it. The other scents I wear daily (Tom Ford Noir and Valentino Uomo) both seem to have the same problem.

>>9892903
Give us your opinion of GIT when you get it, I have it and all I can smell is sandalwood and baby powder.

Maybe my nose is retarded?

>>9892903
>green irish tweed

why even test it? are you really going to pay for a full bottle?

>>9893007
Should I not sample any of the Creed fragrances lest I actually want to buy them?

what are some good scents for twink gay man in his early 20's?
Should he just wear women fragrance?

I got a tester of Paco Rabanne One Million this weekend.

Wow. This stuff lasts a while, it's been a day and I can still smell some of it. I wish YSL and others had scents with longevity like this.

Any other scents with good longevity?

>>9893020
Sure if you actually want to spend hundreds of dollars on 1 bottle. It's over played, go for something more unique.

>>9892533
2 is one I feel I can use year-round. I reach for it most on overcast/rainy days during summer and, more frequently, during the Spring-to-Summer/Summer-to-Fall transitional periods

>>9893033
Chanel's men's fragrances

>>9893033
get Eau de Parfums rather than Eau de Toilettes

>>9893028
Valentino Uomo is very androgynous.
All of MMM Replica Line would work to.

>>9893028
>Should he just wear women fragrance?
would really only work if done with the sweetest, most powdery "girly-girl" scents; gender isn't nearly as rigidly defined re: fragrance as it is with other things

for instance, i'm a rather traditionally masculine heterosexual American male, but i main floral scents and haven't really gotten any double-takes or confused looks

>>9893045
Good daytime ones?

>>9892533
>>3.3oz
>More than two years.
idk about that
1 ml=10 sprays avg.
3.3 oz= 100 ml
100 ml=1000 sprays
1000 sprays/3 sprays avg per day=333 days

so i'd say 3.3 oz lasts about a year of daily, continuous use

of course nobody does this and most frag people use rotations, so a bottle might last a 5-10 years (unless it goes bad, which has fortunately never happened to me but supposedly happens after 3 years by conventional knowledge)
for
>>9886509

>>9893398
> 1ml = 10 sprays
That's a bold assumption upon which all your extrapolation is done.

Theory vs. practice. About 3 months of daily use took me half a bottle marked at 30ml. Number of sprays is a secondary measure. It's safer to extrapolate from a measured 15ml out to 100ml than it is from an estimated 1ml out to 100.

Not that it really matters though. Sprayers vary, performance varies, so you'll need more or fewer sprays of different products. 1 year is probably a good estimate for something like Eau Sauvage Cologne, which has 'subtle' performance, and a howitzer sprayer.

>>9893039
I love the ink note in CdG 2

Anyone know of other good inky fragrances?

>>9888493
>CdG 2
>rotation_warm-weather.jpg

>>9892412
Work-safe = inoffensive, understated, maybe a tad bit boring, daytime scents

stuff like YSL L'Homme

>>9892454
Haven't tried any scents from them because their marketing is so obnoxious. Also, they make a scent designed to be reminiscent of blood and semen? Yeah, fuck them.

>>9894379
It's not that heavy. I can also see it as an all season scent.

I get picrelated as a gift. What do you guys think?

>>9892950

I'm definitely not metrosexual (quite the opposite) but I don't have a problem with wearing unisex or feminine-leaning fragrances.
Like I mentioned, Black is on my list and I'm gonna get a sample of it soon, and Fahrenheit is actually one of my biggest favorites, but it's not really a warm weather scent.

This is a lot better than the normal version.

What is the most masculine scent ever?

>>9895999
Lonestar Memories by Tauer

>>9893028
Mugler Angel or the Hermes Un Jardin series.

>>9895999
old crew-neck t-shirts stained with blood, sweat, and whiskey from barfights put into an industrial blender with motor oil and tanned cowhides

What do you guys wear for deodorant?

>>9896634
Tom's of Maine Unscented

A lot of people will tell you that it doesn't work, but I've never had a problem. Then again, I've never had too much trouble with sweat or body odor, my day-to-day activities aren't physically demanding, and I always shower after exercise/sport.

>>9897062
Mitchum unscented actually works.

>>9897220
Yeah, but it has those aluminum compounds that can stain clothing. There's really not much out there other than Tom's if you want unscented and aluminum free.

>>9890269
>bvalgari black is about ten minutes of tar/rubber then three hours of dark, sickly sweet vanilla

to me it smells like used motor oil.

What are some lesser known fragrance houses out there worth checking out? Already looked up the high-profile designer (e.g., Chanel, Hermes, YSL, Tom Ford, CdG) and niche (e.g. Creed, Le Labo, Diptyque, L'Artisan, Different Company, Guerlain) perfumers

>>9892962
What do you think of it? On my skin it smelled as if I had drank half a bottle of bourbon. I got into a taxi wearing it one night and the driver asked if I had had too much to drink.

Remember that the tester you have might not be the same pump size as the tester, so that might make a difference. Try testing it at a Sephora, if you can. The Replica fragrances have a non-standard pump and deliver a bit more than the average atomizer. All of the Replica frags are EDTs so they don't tend to last long. A larger delivery works well for them.

You should definitely get it if it interacts well with your body chemistry. I liked it so much on paper but it was just too boozy on my skin.

>>9895999
Not a hundred percent sure what the most masculine all-around scent is, but the most masculine meme fragrance is probably Aventus.

>>9896403
Soooo.... Dirty English?
Also did you describe a scent that's supposed to make working-class girls with Daddy issues want you?

>>9897355
>Guerlain
>niche

umm hahah

>>9897609
Their not? Don't they focus almost exclusively on fragrance? If that's not the definition of "niche," then what is? It certainly isn't that niche perfumers make "weird" or experimental scents, because that's only occasionally the case and Commes des Garcons, a designer, is much more unconventional than many niche houses.

Men hate it, women love it, I've grown to like it because of that.

I do two spritzs of this in the morning on days I go out but sometimes I don't really leave the house till 5 and don't come back by midnight or later. Can anyone recommend some more evening fragrances in the <50 price range?

SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT A WEEK AGO WHEN I ORDERED IT YOU CUNTS

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE WITHIN THREE DAYS

>>9899625
i bought some La Nuit from amazon in the U.S. and it turned out to be fake

i told them and they gave me a refund, didn't even ask me to ship the fake stuff back. i like amazon but i'll never buy fragrances off there again, just other (non /fa/ related) things

Would it be a waste to buy a new cdg cologne? I have the play black 2 and really like it but I feel all the cdg colognes are very peppery. Should I get wunderwood or something else?

>>9899625
>>9899635
Actually now that I think about it this seems to mean that as of this year (the Agreement in question came into effect in January) it's completely impossible for EU citizens to buy fragrances in the US via Amazon. And maybe stuff like liquor as well?

They should just fucking say it on the page in that case though.

Contacting customer service over this tbh.

>>9899625
Had a chuckle *<:)

>>9897275
don;t over apply and you won't have to worry about staining

>>9890801
i have this, but it really fucks with me. something in it is toxic. it probably has heavy loads of endocrine disruptors. i still have the full bottle, if anyone wants to buy/trade
-

currently using aventus pretty much every day. i sometimes use oud wood x plum jap, though. also, asian green tea if i want to be a little more lowkey

>>9892412
really recommend asian green tea. very mild, inoffensive, and the drydown is absolutely beautiful.

chloe is also mild, both being pretty fresh.

>>9900628

what exactly did you experience with HM?

>>9886211
What about L'homme sport?

>>9901254
like all ysl frags, it fucking sucks

>>9901296
Live Jazz is good though.

went to Saks to check out colognes. one man's opinions -
>Bond no 9 has a stack of diverse, unique fragrances
>Brooklyn, Shelter Island were excellent - will likely cop
>Bleecker St on possibly cop list
>Wall St, Chez Bond, Scent of Peace for Him, Signature, NY Sandalwood all p cool
>didn't really like Hamptons despite the hype
>TF Oud Wood >> TF Tobacco Vanille
>Plum Japonais was nice.
>Sahara Noir or whateva was the same reiteration of For Men/Tuscan Leather/Men Extreme
>did not enjoy anything from Creed (Aventus, Virgin Island Water, Millesime Imperial, Green Irish Tweed)
also they had a Bond no 9 rep (this aids the fanboying) who was giving out samples left and right which was p cool.
also staff were knowledgeable and helpful without being confrontational (looking at you, Macy's)

>>9900628
where you located m8

>>9902231
one criticism i see frequently leveled at Bond No. 9 is that their scents smell way too synthetic and a bit cheap. did you find that to be the case?

i don't have any personal experience, but have been looking to cop some samples: Bleecker St., Shelter Island, Hamptons, and Chinatown. any more you want to say about those first three?

What are some really lewd (overtly sexual) scents for men?

>>9902744
here's one that apparently smells like cum and other bodily fluids.

>>9902744

>>9902744
>>9902867
ELd'O also makes a more wearable "sex" smell called Tom Of Finland

Serge Lutens' Muscs Koublai Khan is another one

>>9902867
doesn't really smell like semen or vaginal fluids or anything like that

imo it smells like a sneeze

Lolno

The only YSL scent that comes close to being good is La Nuit de Fuccboi

>>9905028
you can thank l'oreal for that

>>9903927

that is interesting. i could understand if it was simply nausea as HM is reallly damn sweet and it can be too much for some people, but that's different.

if you were sneezing it could be that you're allergic to one of its components. it's very common for example with peppery fragrances, at least for people who are allergic to pepper. since HM is quite complex it's very likely that one of the ingredients is triggering an allergic reaction in you. but then again, i'm not a fucking scientist, just guessing. never had a problem with this fragrance myself, in fact i always recommend it to people who are looking for a cheap but unique and good unisex scent

>>9904673

how is the declaration line? i'm especially interested in the original and d'un soir

>>9893039

I've worn cdg2 a few times and in most of those times I've been told I smell like an old lady.

>>9905632
CDG Odeur 53

>>9899625
They've gone nuts with those "dangerous goods" shipping restrictions after there were two conclusive reports that three of the recent major cargo jet crashes (UPS in Dubai, Asiana off the southern coast of South Korea, I can't remember the third one) were caused by cargo (lithium batteries for electronics).

Not only are they restricting shipment of batteries, they've gone nuts with anything that are remotely flammable.

>>9905632

All CDG.

Smells like awful black pepper.

>Not liking Kyoto

I need to gift a perfume to someone.
However his taste is still hard to define.
Basically
>his favorite perfume is L'Eau for men by Kenzo
>his wintery perfume is Terre d'Hermès
>he also quite likes Eau Sauvage by Dior
He didn't like Eau Fraîche by Serge Lutens.
Any suggestion?

>>9906346
Sounds like he really like citrus scents. What's your price range?

>Eau Fraîche by Serge Lutens
Do you mean L'Eau Froide?


>>9903929
No thank you!

>>9905632
Pink Sugar on women, One Million on men. Maybe the scents aren't terrible but the people who wear them are.

>>9906370
Eau Froide, right!
I'd say $90 max (which means your typical fragrance price, of course I'm not able to pay something that is around +$400) but lower would be better. Don't want to take a huge risk. I live in Yurop.

>>9906398
Eau d'Hadrien cologne by Annick Goutal is quite similar to eau sauvage
http://www.annickgoutal.com/en/eau-d-hadrien-4614

>>9906398
get him samples of all the amouages

>>9906398
If he likes citrus, maybe something Chanel puts out. Like Allure Blanche edition. Or Bleu.

>>9906474
>>9906482
Well noted. I will try them first and see how it goes.
What about L'Eau by Issey?

>>9906478
Whenever I can. But at some point I have to gift the real deal.

>>9906506
It is okay. It is really just generic citrus if I recall correctly. Might be able to find it in a shop even if yuropoor.

>>9906518
Alright thanks.
I will try to get as many samples as possible. I still have some time.

>>9906529
I've been making a list of frags I've liked every time I cycle. In no order, here are some I like that are cheap

>D&G Pour Homme
Great scent, cheap, is more than just citrus.
>HM Pour Homme
Reminds me of OP, but lasts longer, is a little more vanilla. I get no citrus though like I figured
>dsquared rocky mountain wood
Its gr8
>the Chanel's I listed
See above
>guerlain
Just in general. A Lotta good stuff

If you want something safe and cheap, my favorite was the D&G. I wank over this frag in this thread all the time. It is wearable just about year round, has amazing longetivity, and just rocks.

What do you guys think of Kyoto as a summerscent?

>>9906518

If you're talking about L'Eau d'Issey, it is anything but generic citrus. It is actually one of the most unique citrusy-fresh designer fragrances, plus I'm pretty sure it has the longest lasting citrus note out of all EDTs. Try it on skin, on paper strip it smelled like toilet freshener to me. Very good stuff.

>>9889297
Picked it up yesterday, first sniff literally knocked me back. At first all I could smell was the black pepper and incense but once it cooled down I really enjoyed it. Super long-lasting too.

Grey Vetiver EDP is goat

>>9902403
synthetic is definitely valid, I don't agree w cheap. they don't smell quite like anything natural but, to me, they don't smell like they're attempting to emulate anything natural.

Bleecker St I got to wear home; I would have a hard time describing it past that I enjoyed it.
Hamptons I hardly remember other than not liking it on first try.
Shelter Island is real nice; a lot of seawood and oud, something like fruit that I can't quite put my finger on.

don't think I'm of much help here.

Wow a bunch of retards here, holy shit.

You buy eau de parfum not shitty other things like toilet or anything like that.

Creed Aventus for example is top tier.

>>9907783
>EdP is automatically better than EdT

pleb pls go

>>9904671
i have like 30mls of Silver Mountain Water and Millesime Imperial that I got from some splits. not my cup of tea, to be honest. sprayed once to test.

Besides that, the bottle of HM that is p much full.

hbu? what frags do you have?

>>9905141
eh, midnight rose/midnight romance are much sweeter, in my opinion, and it doesn't have the same effect. probably something in HM that is causing some allergies
>>9907783
>Creed Aventus for example is top tier.

dunno about your other comments, but i agree with this one. so many compliments.

thoughts on l'air de panache?

>>9907852
Where in Estonia is this blocky nightmare?

>>9907862
I don't know about basil or oakmoss.

Is Allure Homme Sport safe for work?

Is La nuit de l'homme ok for a work/daily scent?

>>9907962
Yeah, why not. It's pretty inoffensive

>>9907976
Too sexy for work, and would probably be a bit overwhelming in the daytime because your increased body temp is going to make it project more. It has "night" in the name for christs sake. It's a date scent.

>>9908059
I already knew this but I didn't want to believe it.

>>9908088
I mean, have you smelled or worn either?

>>9908100
La Nuit just came in the mail earlier today.
I'm a fragrance noob

>>9908107
I mean, it's not like you can't wear it during the day. There's no real rules to fragrances. You just might find it comes off a bit intense and spicy with your higher body temp and all. I like citrusy scents for the daytime. I wear Allure homme sport extreme to work all the time.

>>9908107
Can't you just buy it at the nearest Macy's?

>>9908130
Yeah, the only other cologne I have is Playboy VIP that I got for christmas. Figure anything would be better than a 10 dollar scent.

>>9908134
I should probably stop blind buying

>>9908059
>body temperature higher at work
>than on a date

Kek no

>>9908311
unless you're in a super ac'd office doing literally nothing but staring at a screen, then yeah.

and if you're sweating it out on a date then you've already lost, tbh.

>>9908311
>Chef
My dates are hot but not boiling.

>>9907864
nightmare??

>>9907074
Sure thing. I like some of the Guerlain's, especially Pampelune and Teazzura (even though it's a little weak). Not sure if it wears well on a dude though.

>>9907327
Alright, will try on my skin next time. There's a perfume store near my office.

>>9907862
you can't actually buy that, right? i thought they only made one bottle and it was just on display at some store in Paris

2nd best Wes Anderson after Rushmore btw

>>9907867
both of those are really common notes, especially oakmoss

>>9907783
I don't know what you are talking about, fam.

Dsquared2 HE WOOD Fragrances are better than most EdPs I know and last for fucking ever.

Can we compile a list of office-safe fragrances?

Looking for a new fragrance. I like kinda mysterious, dark ones (but not too overwhelming obvs).
Fragrances I own now:
- bleu de chanel
- YSL l'homme intense
- viktor & rolf spicebomb
- allure homme sport
- marc jacobs men
- fierce (lol) (kinda like it tho)
any recommendations? I wanna try kyoto but idk where to buy CdG fragrances in the netherlands ;_;

>>9910795
anything inoffensive and doesn't smell like you're on a date or heading to the club

an actual list would be way too long

>>9910795
Polo Double Black ftw in wintertime
>cheap
>plebby
>relatively gentle but distinct scent of black pepper and coffee

>>9910795
Get on fragrantica or parfum and look at scents that people classify as "daytime"

If it is meant for daytime, usually good for office.

>>9905632
dude I don't know if I got a bad sample or something but, to me, L'Instant de Guerlain smelled like straight-up old lady dick. it was horrible. had to shower after trying it.

>>9902744
wearing Bond no 9 Wall St rn and it smells halfway between seaweed and vagina but is oddly appealing and I'm into it

I have a general question.
How often has a fragrance not mixed well with you're skin?
Smells great on everything else but bad on you're skin.
Is it aa average occurrence?
Is it ever ok to blind buy or should you always try it first?
Thanks in return if anyone replies.

who /aventus/ here

>>9912193
>always try it first?
yes. even if it works well with your skin, you may not like the drydown. when trying on in a store or even on the skin, all you really get are the top notes which don't last long at all really. you should spend at the very least 4 hours with a scent before you buy imo

>>9912198
>Aventus

Is this the new meme fragrance that has taken over from La Nuit de L'Homme in these threads?

>>9912717
God i just can't get over how fucking garbage la nuit is

The top notes are nasty. the dry down is passable except it's weak as shit


La nuit is barely wearable imo. Would not buy, would never recommend.

>>9912198
Aren't you that low test 5'7 faggot with shoulders narrower than your waist? What could you possibly be doing with something called "Aventus"?

>smell Iso E Super
>weird wood/peppery smell
>realize that one fat weirdo at previous workplace who smelled weird was spraying Iso E Super all over himself

>>9912936
Im 5'10 and my shoulders are quite normal

Unflattering camera angles and 4chan rumors are really something though

>>9912717
Aventus isnt a meme fragrance youre just a pleb whos learned everything he knows about fragrances from a japanese manga reading book club

And la nuit is shit

hating on nuit seems to be just as trendy as people who rec it every thread. if you're going out of your way to shit on a fragrance, which is basically a sure shot to people who don't know shit about fragrances, than you are just as much as a meme'ing parrot as anyone else.

>>9912198
reporting...

everyone loves it..

I like cedar and lemon.

What fragrance should I get?

Why shouldn't I get CDG Wonderwood?

>>9913099
Aventus is a meme fragrance.

>>9913511
It's a bit boring for the price.

>>9913410
Are you a nice piece of salmon? Just kidding. You might like Shalimar but it's pretty feminine/powdery. Maybe Tokyomilk's Contemplation?

>>9913099
"meme" does not mean terrible

all it means is that it's constantly talked about in these threads as much as La Nuit, Terre d'Hermes, or Bleu de Chanel

>>9913511
Because you can get Vetiver 46 for only ~$50 more (comparing 50 mL bottles on Luckyscent)

>>9912717

>>9913197
As a regular to this thread, nobody really "hates" it so much as we are tired of hearing about it.

>Hey guys I need a fr
LA NUIT AND TERRE DE HERMES

Don't get me wrong, I think La Nuit smells nice. (Not a fan of TdH) but if you are in this thread, it gets old pretty quick, especially since there are a lot more night fragrances that deviate from the "super sweet" formula. (Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum for example is something I've been meaning to try that I have a sample still sitting in my cabinet. A lot darker and warmer)

It isn't so much that anybody hates it, just "holy fucking shit we know." Also, at least when it comes to a fragrance, being a special flower is pretty nice.

>>9913991
>>9914662
See the thing is Creed existed long before /fa/ did so it's a little unfair. It has become somewhat of a popular fragrance though, all things considered. It just keeps a lot of fuccbois out because the price is so fucking high . (Myself included, which is why I refuse to try a sample because I'm afraid I'd love it and want to drop all my money on it)

I wear Sycomore exclusively now-a-days. My only gripe is that it's an EDT.

Prior to that I was wearing Noir de Noir.

Prior to that I was wearing Noble Leather.

I tend to go for the more feminine scents, it plays nicely with me.

Noble Leather smelled good for the first month and then it started reacting badly with my skin and smelled off. Almost sour.

It's too warm for Noir de Noir.

>>9914839
old bottle ran out, picked this up recently

smells a bit different though, must be a different batch

>>9914839
>>9915051
accidentally quoted you

>>9886288
>wanting 8 year old compliments
pedo freak

>>9886211
so i recently copped some samples, but they didn't come in a spray bottle. they are in vials with a little dipstick top.

how do i apply? i've used the dipstick and used my finger, but something seems off; these scents just perform poorly in every aspect. like nonexistent sillage, projection, and longeavity

>>9915304
you break the vile and rub your hands in the fluid that comes out

they don't want you to fuck around with samples for too long without buying the product, fucking jews

>>9915332
That's only in the samples that come in those little plastic bubbles, and they are usually only 0.2 mL in volume.

Pretty sure that guy is referring to the samples you get from, e.g., Luckyscent, because he mentions the dipstick. These are about 4-5x larger.

>>9915304
You got to pour a small amount in your palm and then apply. You'll only get like a handful uses out of each vial.

>>9915379
no, you have to smash them

i use a hammer

>>9915304
What I do a lot of times is I just press the open file to my skin, tilt it upwards, and then tilt it downwards so it makes a nice little dot. I do that a couple times.

I think the rubbing method might work better though because lately I've noticed that a lot of my frags are pretty poor in longetivity even if most people have them last foerver

smells good brahs

>>9915304
buy atomizers

Does anyone recommend Serge Lutens Bois de Violette?

>>9886541
Helmut Lang Cuiron

>>9890692
Chanel Egoiste Platinum

Whats the verdict on buying fragrances on Amazon.com? It seems a lot of the reviews have at least 10-15% of them saying its fake... can anyone else confirm before I cop?

Should I get ysl la nuit or Versace fraiche

>>9917284
Don't, there are plenty of other sites you can use that are just as cheap without worrying about fakes. Even eBay is more reliable if you know what you are doing.

>>9886288
Had this for the last year, can confirm best one Ive had so far.

What should I go for next?

>>9917284
wouldnt buy from anyone besides amazon itself, as in the seller is amazon

h8/r8/deb8

need me an iris fragrance bad

>>9917909
>iris
These might be worth looking up:

The Different Company Bois d'iris
Le Labo Iris 39
Hermes Eau de Gentiane Blanche
L'Artisan Dzonghka

The iris is secondary in those last two, but still fairly prominent (maybe not so much in the Hermes, but your nose may be able to pick it out better)

>>9917909
I find there's some odd smell behind every Lush fragrance that keeps me from enjoying any of them; must be something to do with how they are produced.

>>9918019
Love le labo - thanks heaps for the advice

tried daim blonde by serge aswell and loved that

>>9918166
you tried their solid perfumes or droppers? might have more luck with them

>>9918182
No, only spray bottles in store. Will try next time I'm around one.

>>9918244
safe I rec death and decay dropper if you're into niche stuff

Tried it. Loved it. Just my 2 cents.

is it ok to wear roll-on old spice deodorant with my cologne?

how to tell if my Creed is fake?

I've been wearing a sample of this pretty often and gotten a lot of compliments on it. Too masculine for a girl to wear?

cc: >>9907581

>>9918513
no. old spice is fucking strong and might not jive with your better fragrances

>>9917284
i've had success buying fragrances on amazon. if you buy from amazon itself, you won't have to worry about it being fake.

this guy >>9917906 knows what he's talking about

if amazon doesn't sell it (if it's some third party instead) then i wouldn't risk it. it depends on the fragrance though tbh

>>9918292

that shit smells like old people

>>9918710
Hmmm, I will dream of you
Hmmm, you’ll dream of me too
Hmmm, your hands, they’re on my face
Hmmm, there would be no better place

>>9918710
not at all, i find there's a sweetness to it that makes it pretty unisex

love vetiver 46, my favortie vetiver after sel de vetiver by the different company (which is a really bright, summery vetiver so not really comparable)

Recently been trying to step up from my old polo red intense and double black. First purchase was La nuit de l'homme, later on got Versace Eros, last purchase was the one by Dolce&Gabbana. Any advice as to where to go from here?

Hermes and Chanel scents, then look into some niche houses

You need something woody tbh.

Should I buy Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Libre, Tom Ford Noir, or Hanae Mori for men?

So I actually went and tested them at Macy's and these are the ones I liiked

Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Libre, Vince camuto homme, Tom Ford Noir, Hanae Mori for men
Any advice which one I should go with, kinda stuck lol.

what temperature range is suggested for a winter fragrance? spring/fall? summer?

Mont Blanc Legend & BVLGARI man extreme
Currently in my rotation. I've gotten compliments from literally everyone i have come in contact with.

>>9921762
>winter fragrance?
scents that are thick, balmy, sweet, and/or reminiscent of incense
>summer?
light woody, citrusy, herbal and/or green scents
>spring/fall?
anything in between

these are just general guidelines; individual scents may vary (you'll know it when you smell it; anything you can see as possibly overbearing is likely a fall/winter scent)

fruity masculine perfume?

not necessarily citrus fruits btw

>>9922545
got Millésime Impérial today

great for summer and fruity too

>>9922545
Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street

What's a good cologne that has a very mossy, oriental wood note? I want something that isn't super overpowering and is better for when you're up close to someone in the winter/fall time

gucci pour homme II is dope af.. love the tea and violet leaf

This shit right here

>>9922008
love Bvlgari Man Extreme, I feel like it doesn't get hyped enough, such a great hot weather scent

>>9923640
Something woody or tobaccoy tbh.

Looked up CdG Kyoto on Fragrantica and was surprised how so many thought it was more of a fall/winter scent, I personally felt it was equally, if not more, fitting for the warmer seasons. What do you guys think?

>>9924279
>summer
>woody or tobaccoy

>>9924339
there are plenty of woody warm weather scents out there, though admittedly a tobacco dominant one is going to be much harder to find if it's even out there

Any thoughts on scented shaving creams? I have used pic related for about a year now, is mostly scentless but I was thinking of getting one of their scented creams once it runs out soon.

I really need to look into getting myself a proper fragrance, I'm guessing a scentless cream would be preferable if I had one?

please recommend me an EDP

>summer vibes, but not exclusively for the summer
>pleasant, clean, non offensive
>not heavy, just noticeable close by
>appropriate for casual & professional settings
>masculine, but not too mature (I just don't wanna smell like a fruit)

>>9924339
There are tons of scents that are woody or tobacco-y that aren't heavy. It just means don't let them be one of the dominant tones.

D&G Pour Homme has light tobacco notes, but it also has a hint of citrus and sweetness that makes it light enough for warmer weather. (Also one of my favorites)

Anyways, I think a lot of it just depends on price range as well as style.

>>9925080
Millesime Imperial

It has really fruity top notes but once those kinda fade it starts to smell less sweet, like bergamot, and eventually woody and musky

>>9924258
How are figs in the fragrances in general?

Hey guys I'm pretty new to fragrances and was wondering if you guys could help me recommend some things for me.

I would describe myself as pretty masculine in how I like to look and carry myself.

I tried on some La Nuit de L'homme, it smelled really, really pleasant after the initial drying period, but I wasn't sure if it was "me" I asked my date and she said the same thing, it smelled good but she wasn't sure if it was "me."

So what would you guys recommend? I've heard some good things about Bleu De channel so I might grab a bottle, it smelled pretty good when I tried it on.

Also, do you guys usually get the smaller bottle or pay the extra $20 or something to get the larger bottle that's twice as large?

i have a p chill style and demeanor, what kind of fragrances should i be looking for? thanks

>>9926449
tbh I've bought the bigger bottle of Bleu in Parfum (still waiting on it) but you can usually just get the smaller bottle and have it last a fuck long time. Then you can put the 20 bucks towards something else like a new fragrance to alternate between.

As far as fragrances, just lurk and make a list of things that sound interesting and order a bunch of samples if you can not find them in store.

Bleu is great. Try the parfum version though, it is a lot richer and more interesting.

tbh chanel has a lot of my favorite fragrances now that I've sampled more than their old people shit. Bleu is good, and allure homme and allure edition blanche are both excellent.

Why buy anything else?

>>9926497
thanks man, but I hear the edt is much better and fresher than the edp but I will try both man. so is bleu a nice masculine scent that isn't an old man like masculine?
>>9926449
Forgot to say it didn't smell like me or I didn't feel like it did because it came off as a bit effeminate or feminine to me.

>>9926497
Chanel is a top designer fragrance house. Only Hermes is better imo

>>9926605
i hope youre speaking only of designers

so many niche brands blow these out of the water

Nice bait. Got me to reply.

Anyway, this is my most recent cop.

>>9926639
>mfw I actually didnt see that word
my fault anon

>>9926619
hermes is more niche than many niche houses

>>9926782
its not by definition

>>9926782
"Niche" is not a qualitative description, nor does it automatically mean the fragrances are more experimental or less accessible

>>9926552
I smelled a bit of this in a magazine. It was alright.
Don't know if I would run out and buy any though.

>>9926603
I don't think so. I like the EdT, and it is most certainly lighter, but I think the EdP has so much more character. Like, the EdT is very just "citrusy" with some other things. The EdP has a lot more going for it. Like, there is more to it than just "citrus." I'm not sure if I'm convinced it is light enough for day-to-day wear, although I have been still, but it is an excellent fragrance to have either way.

>>9926605

Maybe not top tier, but I think Chanel has some of my favorite fragrances so far without being niche.

>>9926654
jesus christ

how many ml would that theoretical bottle be? looks like it could be straight up 1 l

damn

I wish I could afford Tom Ford Black Orchid or Noir.

DAMN YOU, TOM!

>>9927397
check fragrancenet

>>9927397
Neither are as expensive as the private blends. I'm surprised you like both Noir and Black Orchid. I'm a big Black Orchid fan myself. Have you looked into buying the 30mL instead of the 50 or 100mL version? It'd run you about 66 USD.

>>9927421
I like white Noir -- or whatever it may be differentiated as since it's in the white bottle.

I might consider that. Though, me being a cheapskate, I prefer to buy larger sizes of cheaper frags. One day, Black Orchid will be mine.

I also wish I could smell Tobacco Vanilla, or whatever that was called, from Ford.

>>9927440
just order a sample from somewhere or go to a neiman marcus and try it

>>9926288
I feel like Fig is a divisive note, however those that do like it adore this fragrance. I would definitely sample and see how you feel about it. If you don't like it, you should still check out the rest of the Blu Mediterraneo line.

That said, if you want something 'Italian' that will work in the summer months and won't cost a lot then definitely look at Dolce & Gabbana Pour Home

What are some summer fragrances similar to Terre d'Hermes Eau Tres Fraiche?

>>9886211
Incidentally, a quick note - the documentary linked in OP is fucking awesome and is worth the watch.
