Sauvage is shit.

[Anonymous No.13021959]

So I got Diesel Bad for christmas despite telling everyone not to get me anything. It smells kind of generic to me, but it could be worse I guess. What does /fg/ think, should I just throw it in the closet and never look at it again?

Brainlet here. What are some great light women's or unisex fragrances I could wear as a guy? I love light sweet scents, but I obviously don't want some floral stuff or whatever.
I don't know much about fragrances so I would appreciate some help. idk where to start. I just dislike most men's frags and was wondering if women have some stuff I should try

No. All of the fragrances in OP are extremely popular, for good reason. Pre-reformulation Nuit was the best male fragrance of all time. Of all time.

[Anonymous No.13021997]

Can you guys give me some resources where I can find a "translation" from fragrance note to given effect and/or vice-versa?

I mean, I know from the OP that some family of notes are more mysterious, masculine, feminine, etc., but I'd like to have more distilled (pun intended) information about notes in term of popularity, attraction to females, which are more boyish and which are more sophisticated, or oldish, what synergizes best with a preppy style or a sporty style or a more elegant wardrobe/event, etc.

I'm trying different perfumes in order to find 1-2 signature scents, but I'm quite attracted to female perfumes so I'm not objective, I need some directory to understand how women (but also, less importantly, men, since I work) would perceive me with said notes or family or notes, or which is more popular, etc.

[Anonymous No.13021999]

got this for christmas. i know it isn't expensive but i'm new the fragrance and i kind of like it honestly. i'd probably prefer something a little more musky in the future, i think

[Anonymous No.13022004]

>>13021991
that's a la nuit flanker. Not highly regarded, but if you didn't get a reciept it's worth trying out and seeing if you like.

I think it's just regular la nuit with some green and woody notes.

>>13021999
Burberry London is a great fragrance. Even if it only lasts 4 hours max on most people, it's still held pretty highly for being a really nice scent. Wheneve rI wear it, I just carry around a little travel atomizer of it in my backpack and freshen up halfway through the day. I usually wouldn't do it because that's hitting autism levels for me, but I make the exception for London because it is that good

[Anonymous No.13022026]

>>13022004
interesting, I'll definitely start wearing it a little more often

[Anonymous No.13022036]

>>13021991

thats not the same one as the OP - thats a new release flanker which desu is pretty shit. the original la nuit is fantastic just has been diluted in recent formulations

i'm assuming OP image is bait or some pretentious niche virgin who thinks the world deserves to be suffocate in his obscure trash

>>13021983
dolce and gabbana light blue is fresh, light and unisex; pretty poor longevity though. i would try l'homme - subtle and sweet (apple cider) but very good. or if you want a more traditional sweet or feminine scent, probably look at amber or vanilla-based scents, gourmands would fit your description except they are likely too strong and not year round.

>>13021964
depends on what you want to use it for and your climate, the ones in the OP are considered great, safe scents because they are very versatile (with the exception of LN) and genuinely crowd-pleasing. most fresh scents are pretty safe. just they have poor performance and limited versatility in certain climates

[Anonymous No.13022042]

ALRIGHT POST YOUR SCENT OF THE DAY AND TALK ABOUT IT

Wore CDG Man 2 for the first time yesterday. Not sure if it's for me. I like the incense note, but it's more inky than anything, and really didn't seem to fit me. Still have some of the decant left, it's a cool scent either way.

[Anonymous No.13022052]

Thinking of getting 50mls of Rose 31. Is it worth it to get into a split (140 CAD for 50 ml) or should I just get the bottle from Le Labo to benefit from the 20% discount when I want to refill it?

[Anonymous No.13022058]

>>13022042
This has been my go-to scent for some time. I think it's pretty good, the scent isn't generic and too formal in my opinion, kind of a crisp and light tone to it. I've gotten a lot of compliments while clubbing.

Just noticed the Ultra Male version has a better rating in reviews, maybe I should consider switching to it.

Do you personally like it? Who cares what some strangers think on the internet if you like the thing. I always thought La Nuit de L'Homme was a great smell. I'm sure the one you have smells nice too.

Wear some of it, to get used to the habit of having fragrance on yourself.

My first few fragrances were some CK, Polo Orange and then some Hugo Boss. I'm sure most on here started out with fragrances such as La Nuit de l'homme.

Popular scents are Tabacco Vanille, Oud Wood, Tobacco Oud and Tuscan Leather.

I personally own TL, it's my all time favorite fragrance. I'm not a big fan of the rest of the popular ones, but they are all high quality frags.

>I highly, highly recommend you try out Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille, sounds perfect for you.
know this one already, haven't smelled it yet tho
is it strong/manly? I am just worried about the tobacco
not that I dislike the smell of tobacco, but I naturally look twink-ish and I want to avoid malboro man tier scents
armani code is the most spice I can deal with

What you're asking for is rather specific and awfully subjective. The closest I can think of is that fragrance sites have articles on particular notes (for example Fragrantica has them for common notes) that describe how they're obtained, how they smell and a bit of historical background. From what you've posted, I doubt that's what you're looking for, but it might be a start. How different notes are perceived is entirely subjective and can change drastically over time, not to mention that fragrances are compositions where notes work in synergy to create something that smells different than just a sum of its ingredients.
To conclude, you're better off concentrating on what notes you like, focus on fragrances that have them and then dig into forums and reviews to see how they rate with women/crowd you're trying to impress.

[Anonymous No.13022215]

I just noticed the Fragrantica AWARDS page. It has a category of best fragrance for men that women have voted for. Does it give an accurate picture of what women think smells good on a man? Is it safe to use as basic reference when shopping for fragrances?

[Anonymous No.13022239]

>>13022215
It appears to have a lot of the great scents that are not that niche. I have a hard time believing that TdH has better ratings than Aventus (having both), but overall, it seems like decent enough list of things you should try.

It won't. Just don't apply too much. You're not putting some niche weird fragrance on yourself. It's made to be mass appealing, and as a matter of fact it does a very good job at it.

[Anonymous No.13022271]

>>13022137
Most likely not. You need to remember that fragheads don't accurately represent the male populace. Most guys wear Axe, Old spice and similar shit and the only two fragrances I'd consider overplayed based on how often I smell them on a daily basis are 1 Million and Sauvage. Le Male I smell on someone maybe once a month. Of course, that is based on my area only and differs elsewhere.

>>13022215
I'd say the same thing applies as to the post above. For example TdH, the top fragrance voted in that list, is often disliked by young women. As a general shopping list it will still work, just check whether the current formulation lives up to the standards.

On an unrelated note, glad to see Encre Noire receiving all that love from the community.

Love it. Best honey note in existence IMO. Sweet without being overly cloying, and a nice, spicy tobacco note. The only Kilian frag worth buying.

>>13022067
Very underrated frag. It’s very fresh, clean rose and citrus, but it’s not too sweet. Smells a little dark, but extremely charming. To me, it lives up to its name. I picture the devil as a dapper looking older gentleman in a red suit and top hat, and this is what he smells like.

Very safe scent, overall. I don’t think anyone would object to it. Smells very high quality.

Do you find it overpowering in the daytime? I always interpreted it as more of a clubbing scent as well although I've never tested it.

Both of the posts you replied to are mine, thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

None of the fragrances are Ultra Male, so I should be good with that.

Is it just me or Tabacco Vanille is absolutely disgusting?

[Anonymous No.13022415]

>>13022376
I think it's fine for daytime. I only apply one puff during the day to be sure I don't apply too much, multiple if I'm going clubbing. As I see it, Le Male is a hybrid for day and night, whereas Ultra Male is only for night, for example.

Fragrantica is great, but in their description they don't describe the sentiments of the notes. I know it's subjective, but I find it strange that nobody wrote a guide like that.

So, this is probably going to be a series of stupid questions but I am a novice when it comes to this stuff and have never paid much attention to it before. I am looking for a few recommendations. I like woody and citrusy scents, and typically wear a fragrance during the day rather than putting one on at night before going out, those days are mostly behind me.

I use scented deodorant and scented body wash, although nothing too oppressive imo. And I smoke, although I am starting a new job soon and will likely quit (again), or at least cut back to the point where I only smoke at night at home, and on the weekends. With that in mind, should I even bother buying something new? Are all those other scents just going to overwhelm whatever I use? I feel like when my clothes smell like cologne it's just my clothes that smell, and that I myself in fact smell different. Over the years I've typically just used whatever cologne I get as a gift, the latest are jo malone lime basil and pomegranate, but I am almost out of them. I liked them quite a bit. I don't want to spent a shitload of money, ideally $150 or less.

[Anonymous No.13022737]

>>13022652
stop smoking for one. It can seriously overpower whatever you wear. I went out with a friend last night who was wearing something really nice smelling. However, her family smokes so it really kinda killed everything after her scent dried down. It's not always the case, but ya know.

Then switch to unscented soap and bodywash, and you'll be golden.

Just ok imo.

may not explicitly answer your question about cost... but I'm not sure there is a straightforward answer.

My mom loves this fragrance my dad used to wear that is about $10.
People on this thread rave about Creed fragrances that are $400 a bottle.

When it comes down to it, its more about how much you like it, how well it performs, and how much you are willing to pay. Cost =/= Quality.

I recommend always sampling before you buy.

Honestly, why not just buy designer clothes?

You can get some nice pieces from Raf or Yohji or whoever you like. Fuck, you can also get some rare Supreme items if you're into that streetwear trash and still save a lot of cash. Or just save more and buy a Tom Ford suit instead of his fragrances. I don't know, man, I just think it's dumb...

$2800 is a lot of money to waste on fragrance and I can guarantee that you won't like many of them, probably even hate them. For example, I doubt anyone here likes Kouros or Tuscan Leather, those perfumes are usually only appreciated by men in their 50s and older.

Don't fucking spend that money on fragrances if it's not disposable income; especialy on things you have never tried before. Most of the things you listed are designer fragrances so you can go into a sephora and tried them for free. For the niche stuff, go on ebay or notino.com and buy 1-2ml sample vials and try them.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Polo Modern Reserve?
There was Polo Modern Reserve until a few years ago, it was clean, fresh, pine, mint, cool spring foresty, slight leather whiff, slightly masculine feel but not overtly so, slightly different to mainstream but also modern and normal, safe for office, long longevity, not-sweet, not-dense, not-heavy, not-annoying, not-soapy, not-old-fashioned, not-overpriced, not-synthetic, not-pretty-boy-with-flowers, not-feminine, not-sweaty.

That scent was very average cool foresty, but in hindsight it was hard to click all those checklists.
It's discontinued now and remaining bottles on ebay have unfair prices. What were Ralph Lauren thinking.

So try these instead;

Lush - breath of a god (Smoky cool mint green gives you dark cool forest imagination, plus some sweet fruits to offset the seriousness, but why is it expensive than Chanel)

Dsquared2 - He Wood Rocky Mountain Wood(I didn't smell yet but the reviews are good)

Polo Green (Modern reserve plus old-fashioned sweaty thick heavy leather & tobacco, feel too heavy, sweaty and not really 21st century)

CdG - Laurel (more of a fresh tree leaf smell)

Acqua di Parma - Cedro di Taormina (I didn't smell it but generally their fragrances to be nice fresh natural smelling, should be fine)

>>13023686
Inexpensive quality fragrances could be held for merely $30, but if you have specific description in your mind price can go off the roof.
For example Guerlain Vetiver is a clean fresh green vetiver with tobacco, somewhat boring and cerebral. It can be bought inexpensive.

Lalique Encre Noire is cheap too. It does dark and oppressing vetiver very well.

But if you want super-smooth fresh vetiver with French elegance, you pay Chanel $350 for 6.8oz Sycomore. Sort like that.

>>13024062

honestly sounds like you'd suit something like valentino uomo intense or dior homme intense to a T. iris note is polarizing but very feminine, works really, really well on the right type of person (you need to be fairly flamboyant or 'pretty boy' to pull off DHI/VU). top tier scents, similar vibe to la nuit

Don't go by price. The most expensive fragrances are niche fragrances and a lot of for yourself if you have an appreciation of scents. a $400 ashtray smell wont go down well with the opposite sex most times.

Jeez man. Slow down. Why not get samples?

I would drop 1 million and jpg male as they are too common/overused.

Neroli Portofino is like 711, a very old scent and you need to smell before you buy.

Black Orchid unisex, lots of women wear it so you have to be confident/masculine.

Tuscan leather is just that.. leather/deep/smoky a bit niche imo, not for a young guy.

Guerlain Homme Ideal Sport is safe too, reviews criticizing about "no creativity", "generic".

I sampled it along Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca, Dior Sauvage, Dior Homme Parfum this month. And those two Dior felt so exceptional that I ignored what Ideal Sport smell like.

Guerlain L'Homme L'eau Boisse seems fine too. Reading all these warm, clean fresh grass descriptions I think nothing could go wrong.

Guerlain Vetiver is fine, fresh and safe but not daring or manly type.

Warm and suitable for winter and maybe cool fall nights. I was obsessed with this frag in the winters of like 2012-2015. It can be cloying in warm weather. On my skin the honey is the main note and the tobacco lingers around for a few hours. It's pretty straightforward and dries down to honey/tonka/"amber" for me. This kind of reintroduced me to "sweet" scents after writing them off, thinking they would all be like Pink Sugar or VW Princess.

One of my friends finds the honey note was too powdery and too old womanish, which is fair because I was like 20 at the time.

On one hand, that's a really good price and you're saving a lot more than 20%. On the other hand, Le Labo objects (bottles, etc) are really beautiful. I have the Rose 31 travel tube and got a solid version of it in my Christmas stocking and holding these objects honestly just feels good. It'll take you a while to get through 50 mL so maybe by then if you want to rebuy, you'll be in a better financial situation.

Jazz Club is interesting but just be wary of the connotations of smelling like alcohol. I really liked Jazz Club before I bought it, but the Margiela bottle distributes more than a sample atomizer does. On my skin it just becomes too boozy in that amt. The first night I wore it, I was taking a taxi home from my university and the driver treated me like I was completely wasted. By the Fireplace is warm and sweet (still masculine imo), and has a very intentional feel to it.

It's the target audience as well as the marketing strategy, the price gap in terms of the raw ingredients, bottles and packaging isn't that big. One part of the industry targets the large portion who just want to smell good for a reasonable price. The other targets the small portion that want to smell unique and interesting and are therefore willing to pay a higher price (in some cases they prefer it that way as it increases the exclusivity). Of course things aren't that black and white in reality, but you get the general idea.

Did you actually hit up a Bennetton and try that shit out? If not, I hope you enjoy as I was the guy recommending that as an $11 tester buy the other week. Gave a bottle to a coworker and another to my grandfather for xmas. Gramps sprayed it on himself during the party and I caught it on him when saying goodbye. Nice. It's a Bleu-like the way original Pineapple Vintage is an Aventus-like. Without some summer testing I can't fully evaluate its closeness to Bleu EdT, but for now I'll call it a 90 percent copy and a strong cheapo buy; tell us what you think when you get time with it.

nope, just blind bought it because I'm sure I can't go wrong with it at 15 bucks. Bleu EdT is one of those scents I like, but wouldn't spend my own money on like I would the EdP.

I liked both Hanae Mori's, so I decided to cop them in 50 mL (since I am accumulating scents at an alarming rate.) Highly underrated tb .

I had good enough projection with CK One Shock. Kinda debated not buying it since I have Burberry London but needed something to get to free shipping anyways.

I've always thought of candles being a waste of money (for a perfume obsessed person, go figure) but I was almost, almost tempted by Ex Nihilo's Bouquet Mystique. It has a really alluring, cozy accord of jasmine sambac and coconut and rice. I know it sounds odd, but it really is the best thing I've smelt in a candle. Might still splurge on it in the future.

It smells a lot like Silver Mountain Water. A bit better but not enogh to warrant the price. At least in my opinion. But I also don't really like SMW. They both have a powdery sweetness(which smells nothing like mountain water) and are very feminine. Actualy I think they would work better on a woman than a man. I would rather wear Dior Homme on the occasions when this would be suitable.

it actually is, but unlike sauvage it has a little bit more of a metallic twinge and is a bit darker. Longevity is nowhere close to the longevity I get from sauvage though.

I'm new to /frag/ and these are my initial impression of my samples if anyone interested:

>Heeley Cuir Pleine Fleur
Doesn't do it for me. The birch is too strong I couldn't smell anything else maybe except a little bit of leather.

>Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Iris Bleu Gris
Initially this does not impress me but it is certainly growing on me. I just can't point out what's making me going back to it. It smells so smooth and pleasant.

>Cereus No.7
Smells like my deodorant. I don't know why some people liked it. Perhaps there's something I'm missing and someone could point me out?

>Creed Green Irish Tweed
Clean, green and safe.

>Roja Dove Scandal Pour Homme
Too medicinal for me.

>Killian Intoxicated
It does smells like coffee which I really liked but there's something else that putting me off. It's probably too dark for my taste.

>Atelier Cologne Cafe Tuberosa
Oh man, the initial blast of coffee just blew me away. Then comes the cig smell and then very smooth rose. Can't decide if the rose is too feminine. I wish the coffee last longer and I would definitely get a bottle if so. Also I sprayed on my body before I went to sleep, now that I just woke up I can smell a hint of sweet chocolate (deep skin though).

The only Boss Bottled worth spending money on. Sacrifices the freshness of the original in favor of the woody spicy notes for more longevity (6 - 8 hours).

Parfums De Marly Layton is supposed to smell similar, except beastly and niche. I've never tried it.

Toughts on this? I got a SMW sample but I feel the performance is lacking. Most reviews say this has a lot better performance and half of them even say they prefer this over the creed so for 1/5th of the price it seems like a no brainer. Rasasi makes some pretty good stuff from what I've seen.
