>classic masculine
That's what endears me to it and probably why my gf loves it. Considering it's only £60 for 100ml, it's some of the best value for money for a masculine scent. Smells amazing on a windy autumn/winter day or a cool summer night and is very intimate; the sillage is close to the skin so only those who get relatively close will smell it (which is how I prefer my fragrances tbh). Downside is the longevity.

Thoughts on the original vs the newer 'Extreme' version (pic related)?

>>10425832
Did you try spraying or did you only smell the bottle? The drydown as the pine gives way to the leather is pretty good. As for generic, yes; but it's probably one of the more unique of the 'mainstream' scents amongst the endless Boss/Armani/Gucci/Chanel clones.

I don't see why everyone treats unique scents as the holy grail. Wear what smells good on you - even if it's generic - not what would make you special. I guarantee that there are so many human beings in this world that you could wear fucking Acqua di Gio down the street and at least a few people will never have smelt it before.

There is a little-known retailer here in the US that has a presence in the UK where it seems many designer frags are in the £15-35 range, kind of comparable to the US, actually. Don't spread it around, let's just keep it between us.

Yes, the price. It costs more on Amazon than from a high end department store.

The significant discounts on Amazon only seem to apply to the most common 'designer' frag houses, presumably because their stuff is far more mass produced.

At least with retail you have a better assurance of quality and authenticity.

>>10427339
Yeah, let's talk about Tom Ford and Aventus.

[Anonymous No.10427382]

>Yes, the price.
So, sorry if I'm having a hard time understanding this, and I'm assuming you're the anon who posted >>10426526 to begin with.

OK, so you say this designer scent at £60 is "some of the best value." I say, "not really," and your counterargument is to say, "but it costs more than your average designer?" Which debate team were you captain of?

Look, I'm not saying it's a bad scent; Ive never smelled it. If you had said "£60/100ml for this was a bargain to me," that wouldn't have raised an eyebrow.

I've been almost exclusively using this for the last 7-8 years.

I like the fact that the scent is very subtle. Rather than announcing itself to everyone who walks 5 feet past you, it's only something that few people really close to you will discover.

It's the only scent that has consistently netted me compliments from the opposite sex.

The bottle is also really cool. Could easily be used to smash some asshat's head in. In self-defense, of course.

Anyone else experience quick olfactory fatigue with Penhaligon's Endymion?

Moments after applying, I literally could not smell it anymore so I splashed a bit more on since it's an EdC and I've read about many claiming poor performance, and still I couldn't notice it after about 10-15 minutes.

Turns out I was projecting like crazy, though, which made me a bit self-conscious but everybody around me loved it. Got me more comps than Aventus (which I thoroughly dislike tbh). Great scent, the only terrible thing I can say about it is that Robin Thicke and Chelsea Handler both love it, so if you believe in good things becoming shit by association...

Dior Homme and its flankers

try sampling from some of the cheaper niche houses. my favorites are L'Artisan, Diptyque, and Etat Libre d'Orange (this house can be really hit or miss though). prices should range from ~$80 to ~$150 depending on scent and bottle size

Young women are the biggest plebs in the known universe. You could wear pretty much whatever.

La nuit is one obvious choice for going out (even though I personally don't care for it, but girls seem to).
In the office, literally anything that isn't cloying is fine. I don't know what girls prefer here. I cycle between Rocky Mountain Wood, Terre d'Hermes and Allure Homme. Basic stuff, but at least it's not Old Spice, scented deoderant or b.o, which is probably what a lot of other people in your age group are rocking.

Most important thing: go to the mall and try them on your skin.

[Anonymous No.10446406]

It's not that they're plebs, it's that men on average try so little that even catching a whiff of 1million will get their hopes up that maybe, just maybe, you aren't as much of a loser fuccboi as everyone else.

Thanks m8s. I actually had la nuit on my bookmarks but I was a lil hesitant because people from reviews seem to say its more suitable for 21+ rather than teens. I'll definitely still try it out though when I can be bothered to go to the mall.

For everyday use I was looking at L'homme since thats apparently versatile and leaning more towards unisex rather than manly man. Thoughts?

Also have Versace Pour Homme and Perry Ellis Red on my list to try but is it worth buying those now that it's autumn?

Are there any more scents which cater to young people that I should check out?

[Anonymous No.10446749]

>>10446708
1.You can definitely rock La Nuit
2. L'Homme would be a great choice, like you said its super versatile and not extremely masculine, everyone is going to like the way you smell
3. Those are good choices but yeah, they're both definitely fragrances for the warmer weather
4. FWIW, designer houses aren't really making extremely masculine/mature fragrances anymore, most everything out there will be suitable for you, it's just about sampling whats out there and finding what you like best

One that just came to mind as far as an office scent would be Dior Homme. Straight up masterpiece of a fragrance, the main note is Iris which definitely leans feminine. Also, not many 19 year olds are going to be wearing it so you'll smell unique

I'd really like to try L'Artisan, and especially Diptyque and Le Labo candles, but I have a hard time justifying $60+ for a candle

And does have recs for incense as well, or reed diffusers or heating waxes/oils? I've only used cheap incense, but that changes the air in the room and makes my eyes puffy; reed diffusers don't really work in my experience.

I got in on that $18 EdP amazon deal too. While I always recommend trying before buying, I don't take my own advice when something is that cheap and well-reviewed. It's a beautiful tea, leather and vanilla fragrance, with a hint of powder, which I dislike in large amounts. Reminds me of Bulgari Black and PE 360º Black. I wouldn't say it's rugged lunberjack levels of manly, but I wouldn't say it's too feminine either, but I own several "women's" scents myself. It's just marketing.

[Anonymous No.10450915]

since there's an entire general for fragrances now, i'm assuming there's a lot of info besides "this smells good" and "this smells bad"

so for someone who just wants some good smelling cologne, what would you guys recommend? are traditional brands (tom ford, armani, gucci, Saint Laurant, etc) safer to go with or are there some more underground cologne makers that are better? and lastly, what's a good price to pay for a bottle? i honestly don't think i could justify paying over 100$ for a tiny bottle of cologne.

It's been a while since I pulled the puck from the box, so I can't comment on the "unboxing odor," but there is a definite rubber accord in the top/middle notes, which is actually lapsang souchong tea, apparently, but that dies down and it's quite a nice smoky vanilla/tea/leather fragrance.

MiP does not have the smoky rubber note, and it adds some nice spices, including anise, so if it's the rubber putting you off, don't let it. It it's the whole vibe then skip MiP, because they do live on the same block, so to speak.

Been wearing this recently. What do you think of it? Also, what's the best Polo fragrance?

[Anonymous No.10454928]

>>10424863
just copped this.

Great inoffensive summer scent.

top notes of Iris, mid notes of Neroli orange blossom, bitter orange and base notes of leather and soft woods.

Have had a few compliments on it, pretty minimal and low key even if you go nuts on the spray volume, effay bottle too, dipped in a matte rubber

I'm male. I just don't like too sweet and citric fragrances. For me the perfect dragance is a balance betweet something sweet something fresh and something manly like leather musk or smoke.
I'm looking for something very versatile I would wear it outside too like for shooping and doing not important stuff.
I already have creed aventus for go out and work. I like it pretty much, but it's too expensive to use it for just smell good when I'm alone.

From what I have heard Polo is kind of generic, though I don't have any experience with them. I am interested in Polo Red though.

[Anonymous No.10455028]

I also sometimes wear Polo red. It's good, but I'm relatively new to the world of fragrances tbh.

you would probably want 4711, it is cheap and it is refreshing (rub it on yourself after a shower)

[parfum professional No.10455413]

Your guys taste in designer fragrances is repulsive. Carnal flower is what i have and it shits on your Valentino's and YSL la nuit.

i got a big ass bottle of 4711 and decant it into a $1 plastic 50ml sprayer. sprays dont last more than an hour just fyi

[parfum professional No.10455783]

>>10455525
Yeah i know, eau de cologne is meant to refresh your hankerchief. You pour some onto your hands and rub it on your neck and wrist. You pour some on the hankerchief as well. I don't know why anyone would want to wear fragrance in the house. Just get the frederic malle fleur mecanique and let the fragrance dissipate into the air.

update: i was in the mall today and came across YSL L'Homme, i really liked the smell so i impulse bought it. Hopefully this 100$ will get me noticed by some qts because it was either the cologne or a used Helmut Lang denim jacket on grailed.

now i'll just keep lurking so i can spend more large amounts of money on small bottles of fragrances

it was a gift box that came with the 3.3 and a second 2oz bottle. not a bad deal but i didn't really have a choice for just the one because it was 88$ for only one or 2 for 100, why not right?

i still am having a bit of buyers remorse but i got paid today so hopefully once i use the cologne it will wear off

[Anonymous No.10456033]

you sure it's an actual 2oz bottle of EDT and not some shitty aftershave? Usually that's what's in those dumb gift boxes.

Personally I prefer Woodwick candles. They use actual wood sticks to make the fire with crackling sounds and the scents are more mature and denser. My favorite is attached - sand and driftwood, smells really classy.

this mainly

if longeavity is bad though, then'll it'll discourage me from buying it unless i really love the scent; don't really care too much for projection and sillage.

and i try not to consider others' reactions to the scent at all, but i think it's impossible to not be swayed by that even a little bit

I've only recently gotten into collecting so I really only have summer frags, working on expanding my fall/winter wardrobe. Pretty much focusing on designers for the time being, educating myself on what I like plus I don't have a huge budget, I add about one a month.

>tfw poorfag
plus side, they last much longer than i'd thought. 1 mL can last a couple weeks of regular use (applied once a day, ~5 days a week)

[Anonymous No.10456920]

>>10456901
Oh I like and use all of them. Yeah Lanvin Avant Garde, Mont Blanc Individuel and Gucci Pour Homme II are fall/winter, I guess L'Homme could be all seasons as well.

Damn, that's pretty good. So a small 50 mL should last me about two years?

[Anonymous No.10457581]

>>10457563
1ml for a couple weeks of every day use is VERY generous, it's about 3-5 sprays per ml, depending on the sprayer. 50 ml should last you maybe 8 months with daily use.

You didn't specify a price range, so I'll go with one of my favorite summertime cheapies: Set Sail St. Barts for Men. And yes, generally, fragrances with "sport" or "fresh" in their name are less heavy and thus better suited for heat and humidity. By no means should you limit yourself to frags named as such, however.

[Anonymous No.10458026]

>>10457581
>3-5 sprays per ml
Did you mean applications? The average number of sprays per ml is 10.

It's most likely just me, but MI smells just like water with barely any musk in it and doesn't last.

[Anonymous No.10459007]

>>10458619
I mean, it depends. If you love the smell, then yes. They're different enough that it wouldn't be a redundant purchase. That said, if you already have something like Bleu de Chanel (an all occasion, 4 season scent) then I would say that you might be better served picking up something else

[Anonymous No.10459059]

>>10456952
I haven't but I've had it described to me as being the 'less classy' brother of GPHII. Apparently there is just something about GPHII that makes is come off as more refined. They don't smell exactly alike but certainly close enough that if money is an issue then you wouldn't be disappointed having to settle for HiM. FWIW, HiM does have better performance, literally my only complaint about GPHII
