I've tried like 30 colognes in the last two weeks, from the meme 5 to the niche, and I must say that I didn't find a single one that fully convinced me. What do?

sounds like you're just not interested in the hobby, or maybe just trying shitty fragrances.

[Anonymous No.13063124]

why is the niche sector so fucking pretentious? pic related. he makes nice fragrances on par w/ great designer, but sells them at a 3x markup. basically, the indie/artisanal sector is the last bastion for artistry and integrity when it comes to perfume.

it goes like this

designer: gibe the pusi b0ss, male/female genderizing,

niche: literally the same thing except with the jewness amped up and llusions of exclusivity

Artisan: small batches, fair pricing, good product, creativity

[Anonymous No.13063138]

>>13063084
I am interested, I like to try them and understand them and the notes underneath and the sensations, and what they remind me (smell is the feeling most stimulating to memory). It's just that they all feel... kind of wrong, or uninspired, as if there could be, but I never met it. Which I find strange, given the enormous choice.

there is a plethora of good independent brands: Bruno Fazzolari, Bogue Profumo, Papillon, Abdessalaam Attar, it's just all the shit you see meme'd here is streamlined for creed/sauvage bros. People here are generally concerned with fragrance as a weapon of attraction and not as an art. I know I sound pretentious or foreveralone or what have you, but it's fucking depressing to me. It's like they're unironically fulfilling the prophecy of the inane, lust-addled marketing by fashion houses, or maybe it's just shills here flogging this shit.

Just waiting on the results of my bloodwork to find out if I have cancer or not. Good times.

Also, got a sample of Zoologist Camel. Nice stuff. A lot lighter than I thought it’d be. Thought it’d be a syrupy-spicy bomb like Serge Lutens Arabie, but it’s not. Almost like an exotic tea scent with a little dried fruit sweetness.

Previously I had only sampled Jean Paul Galtier Ultra Male, Paco Robanne 1 Million and Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l`Homme. These fragrances were bland, dull, childish and almost critically uninspired. Every note felt like an afterthought, the harshness of these fragrances resurfaced forgotten memories of Physical Education lessons at school, finding myself asphyxiated by Lynx spray in the changing rooms after two hours of kicking balls around. They most certainly did not impress me, and my expectations of female adoration and envious compliments from fellow work colleagues had not been fulfilled. I could never live out my fantasies of reigning over the entire workplace as the supreme alpha male, fucking every female secretary I laid eyes on. The epitome of masculinity.

That was until I discovered Dior Homme Sauvage. I remember experiencing my first sample with vivid detail. With just one spray I delved deep into it's aroma and surrounded myself in it's musk. Each note reminded me of an intense LSD trip, upon reaching the peak of my journey I felt intense pleasure all over my entire surface area. Women surrounded me and began sucking my cock, my vision became completely shrouded by intense fractals and impossibly huge beams of light. I had no grasp of time nor any sense of touch, I could only experience pleasure. My trip led me into days of extended hedonistic mass orgies with hordes of fertile teenage girls. I had reached Nirvana.

When my senses were no longer being blown the fuck out, I regained consciousness in a blisteringly hot desert. The only other person present with me in this infinite stretch of sand was the famous actor Johnny Depp, standing over my naked body like a guardian angel. He told me he crafted Sauvage himself and offered me a place as his disciple. This scent was a nectar from God himself. Ever since this epiphany, I have followed the gospel of Depp. I will follow him into the fountains of Sauvage.

I've spent the past 12 hours wearing Pineapple
Vintage X Batch and can share some early thoughts.

The pineapple opening is very natural, just like in the other Pineapple Vintages, mixed with a cedary ambroxan. This stage lasts for about an hour, after which the pineapple disappears and the scent becomes ambroxan and vetiver forward, with mixed fruit on the periphery. At this point, my mind has placed XB somewhere in between Sau*age and Bond Scent of Peace fH, but much closer to the Dior in structure with that ambrox overdose.

I brought a 3ml atomizer and refreshed with one spray to each arm at midday, though I didn't really need to. I just wanted to smell the pineapple again. A solid eight to ten hours on three sprays should be its normal longevity.

I didn't get any comments on this wear of XB, though I smelled it on myself throughout the day. A work friend who enjoys fragrance took the atomizer and so I'll get see how XB smells on someone else tomorrow.

Though I usually need at least five or six wears to form a sound opinion on a scent, after one wear I'm positive about this X Batch. It performs. It's pleasant. It's an original work, for the most part. And at the very least it has calmed my urge to purchase a backup bottle of Sau*age, as I think it's better (how did I never notice that black pepper?)

If you're asking for thoughts on an individual fragrance that isn't the usual line up of incredibly popular colognes, you're better off looking at reviews on fragrantica.

Cold weather fragrances = strong one spray 6ft smell, lasts 8h.

Prada l'homme = clean supermarket soap bubble smell

I have a bottle of Van cleef & Arpels pour homme for cold winter soapy smoky green leather smell.

It is clearly for winter, has soap smell...but is it inoffensive...? I don't know. Does marshmellow-man size giant soap-man inoffensive? If you want to try, spray VC&A pour homme before sleep, at your leg, only one spray.

Well, I don’t have the cancerino! I have anemia due to an iron deficiency. Apparently, my body doesn’t absorb iron efficiently, so I need to take iron supplements from now on and need to include more iron-rich foods in my diet. So, gotta go buy me some doctor-prescribed steaks and cheeseburgers. Everything went better than expected.

Also, tried my sample of Roja Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Not a fan. Very oud-y, has that typical Roja animalic thing going that I don’t like. I thought with all the fruit notes, it might be lighter and sweeter, but nope. More of the same. Guess I’m sticking to Enigma.

Yeah I feel that most of the gulf collection are just low-effort like most of the 2017 churn-outs. Now that his line has gained quite a bit of notoriety with reviewers, I feel that he has capitalised on this by most of the 2017 releases being more simple/similar (that candy floss accord kills me), his target market has probably shifted to a younger crowd that has less experience so the wool can be pulled over them.

Not really into his brand anymore desu. I think there's a bit of an echo chamber too, with some people going along with marketing and not really knowing decrying its the best thing ever and ever opposing opinion is just bounced back with hollow no-knowledge elitism. Go for his older fragrances, or elysium I guess if you appreciate designer scents more. I'm not sure but i've also heard that quite a few in the line were reformed late 2016/early 2017, the information on the bottom of the bottle names "Roja Dove Limited" or "Manufactured by Roja Dove Limited", which either is just design change, signs of a sale or reform.

[Anonymous No.13065087]

>>13064941
I did sample Elysium, it’s nice enough, but it really does smell a lot like BdC to me. Maybe a little more citrus-focused, but undeniably similar. Just don’t think I can justify the price for that one. Haven’t tried the extrait, though, just the cologne, so the extrait might be entirely different.

Apparently he has just released "Majestic Oud" which is an exclusive. It has purple font so most likely will be on the pricier side of things. Apparently there is a higher concentration of oud and "woods" that reinforce it, and ambergris. I frankly think that it's another churner that would appeal to the wallets of the shoppers there, but that same store sells a fragrance that retails for either hundreds or a thousand plus that advertises "Amber extreme" as a note, so not even real ambergris or whatever, but they are brazen about it and its most likely going to be bought based on the bottle. I think the brand is called "Elegantes".

[Anonymous No.13065394]

>>13065345

>Inb4 the "I need to remind people with link to the topic of pricing in luxury fragrances" guy spams his link.

Elegantes seems to go beyond that, usually with overpriced luxury fragrances there is an element of being well blended or showcasing rare ingredients not used very often. Look up their "Cashmere" fragrance, goes for £2350, an eau de parfum too. Its similar to a YT vid where this reviewer slammed Phuon Dang, which took crap and priced themselves into luxury, had the right connections to set up shop in a department store straight away. Seems to me that this is the case with Elegantes too but to the extreme. It isn't luxury, it's bullshit. I mean unless you buy their bottles and fill them with better perfume.

[Anonymous No.13065682]

>>13063889
No, it is not just a more potent version of DH; the strength of the notes is in totally different proportions.

It is a dry, musty, leather bomb, while leather in the original was so minimal as to be almost undetectable. The iris, instead of a soft, velvety aura that lightly envelops the other notes, is thick and waxy like a candlestick. Then there is that annoying, pungent rose note that almost made me gag the first time I smelled it.

If it simply were a more intense/stronger version of the original DH then I would probably like it a lot because the original is my favourite fragrance of all time.

I do like the oud/sandalwood combo in it though, but overall I think people are just eager to jump on Dior's dick over what they perceive as a more masculine successor to DHI.

I hate using this word and typically try to avoid it, but Eau straight up smells generic to me and in a bad way. It smells cheap, like the frag I smell off of every late 20s swarthy immigrant working a business casual job. They partnered with Macy's for the release and that's exactly what it reminds me of – the most basic bitch tier of department store colognes.

Cologne I haven't tested it very much, only a couple times in store. But it smells like straight up lemons to me and nothing else.

Are you buying it blind? I smelled it in store. It's very heavy. I own Aventus and Green Irish Tweed from Creed and like both of them more than Viking. IMO it's spicy, dense, and is very aggressive.

From what I’ve read, oakmoss isn’t forbidden. It’s limited to 0.1% of the final solution, and requires explicit listing in the ingredients if it is used. You can’t use it and just call it “fragrance” in the list.

Apparently 0.1% is about a tenth of what it was in some of the classics. So yeah I guess it’s like a ban. But just having it at all doesn’t mean you’re flouting IFRA.

[Anonymous No.13067487]

'sup /frag/. Can we have a discussion where we share what fragrances and especially what notes turn women on, and comment on them? Let's limit ourselves to everything in the world that is not Sauvage.

I start:
>1 Million
An ex of mine says that this shit turns her on big time. Another female friend says this is plausible. Can't isolate the note which turns them on (amber? leather? patchouli? spicy?), so can't replicate the result with a good cologne.
>Ambergris
>Musk
I read that ambergris is a great turn-on. I also read that women are X times more sensitive to musk than men and generally react well to it.

Except theres a material out there that is real oakmoss, just with two of the molecules that IFRA declares allergenic either removed completely or heavily reduced.

Ok, so whoever is going around saying Cool Water is a good alternative to Green Irish Tweed - you're gay as fuck.

They are indeed similar but this isn't a case of "aventus vs PV," Green Irish Tweed completely outclasses Coolwater. The scent is greener, fresher, and noticeably lighter and more natural smelling. However, if that was all there was to it, it wouldn't be a big deal. Projection and longevity are piss awful in comparison. If you're only interested in the scent, then it's an alright choice I guess, but saying that GIT isn't worth the cash when this exists is absolutely bumfuck retarded and probably just because everybody is really butthurt over Aventus being an overhyped, inconsistent meme

Bel Respiro by Chanel is a much more feminine floral of the same genre. Very bracing and then soapy floral later on.

Vent Vert is a blast of peppery galbanum, as sharp and green as first spring. The vintage is smoother and less dirty than the modern.

Philosykos, I think I've mentioned already, is a squeaky clean abstract fig with coconut. Feels bright, happy and fresh. Very juicy and delicious smelling.

I'm wearing something that I think is clean and squeaky, if not in the soapy category. Santal 33, which has less to do with sandalwood than an aqueous, androgynous futuristic smell. Very unique, if not worn by all celebrities at one point. Liberty smells like this, if you're in London.

Muguet Porcelaine, otherwise vintage Diorissimo if you can get it; archetypical muguet/ lily of the valley soapy and fruity fragrances. Skews feminine. Takes a lot of people by surprise as we don't muguet very often these days.

>Pic related; Guerlain's annual Muguet release. Way overpriced and to me, muguet just smells like muguet to me.

Personally, I think Feve is a bit too cloying and heavy. Kilian Back to Black is a very similar scent, but is much lighter and more complex. I feel like you just get more of the notes out of BtB, you get the honey, dusty tobacco, the cherry, some peppery and spicy notes, a little wood, some vanilla. Feve is just like a cherry/tobacco/baby powder bomb to me.

Not a bad scent by any means, but they’re somewhat comparably priced and I just think the Kilian is better. Just my opinion, of course.

You're entering into a quality game when you buy Aventus because they can't into consistent fucking batches. If you have the disposable income i guess do what you want, but at least try PVI. Never tried CDNI

Sure but Aventus isn't worth that 300.

There are better creed frags or $300 frags in the price range. Plebs are plebs because they don't know when to drop the big bucks

it doesn't matter if my smell is unique or not I'm just trying to smell nice. Plus basically everyone I interact with doesn't care about fragrances much and probably buy the first bottle they see on the shelves at target

[Anonymous No.13071596]

Been owning many Creed perfumes in the last couple of years, and despite how internet community made it out to be, Aventus is definitely the most successful and probably one of the most pleasing scents in perfume world. Worth the price? Definitely not. But in 20 years from now on it is going to achieve the iconic status like YSL Kouros for example.
Personally, it's not my everyday choice, and not my favorite scent, but statistics speak for itself.
Mancera/Montale and Xerjoff are in my top list.

It's seriously my most complimented fragrance and I own all the current memes, Aventus,La nuit, Sauvage, Bleu,Eros, Dylan Blue and Le male Ultra.

It's horrible on first app, like a lemon pledge musk bomb but the drydown smells almost Aventus like. It also projects a lot more than Aventus to the point where you become full pjeet and people smell you from across the room but for £30 you might as well.

Err I think you missed the point entirely. My point is that its weird a brand is making a deal with someone with so FEW followers. If they are going after everyone like that for promotion then it doesn't speak well for their scent. Especially with the image they try to keep. If they are trying to persuade a nobody to give glowing reviews with free shit then what is in that bottle?

You're a fool if you think Aventus is going to stand the test of time like the other legends. It's made by a perfume house that fabricates it's history blatantly, and has already been decried by influential critics as being generic and uninspired, which is exactly how I found it.

The instant Opium, Eau Sauvage, Bandit, Vent Vert, Fracas, No. 5, Kouros, Shocking, Iris Gris, Djedi, Mitsouko, Chypre de Coty came out, they were legends in their own right because of their groundbreaking and often controversial accords. Glamorous women and daring men wore the fragrances, whereas Aventus is worn by teenage boys who watched JeremyFragrance and is looking to spend daddy's cash on the most expensive "panty-dropper" meme.

Jesus Christ I hope you're pretending to be speds. Y'see, theres a think called a sarcastic stutter that you use when you take the piss out of someone. In this case, I am taking the piss out of people that think Sauvage will become a classic, because the only thing that makes it stand out is the ambroxan bomb (which ironically isn't unique). I am not confusing Sauvage with eau sauvage. Jesus christ are people that easy to bandwagon?

[Anonymous No.13074334]

Can y'all recommend a good winter fragrance?
My timeline as follows:
2013 Versace Eros
2014 Tom Ford Black Orchid
2015 Bleu de Channel
2017 Creed Erolfa

In 2017 through my best friend, he recommended Creed, as his Dad wears Aventus. I thought it was the most distinct scent I've ever sensed. I later realized in a high end deptarment store a year or two earlier an old man from Barbados (who worked there) showed me a scent that had blown my mind as well. So fresh and aquatic. I think it was Erolfa but wasn't certain. So a little bit later on, on special I got a good deal on two bottles; Erolfa for my self and Tabarome Millesime for my Dad. Now both scents wow me, Tabarome is a bit too 'old' for someone in their early 20's I believe, so I was hopeful someone here could offer a winter scent, as my collection is far too light.


Also does anyone love fragrance commercials? Never enough to convince me to buy one but their marketing departments sure do a good job at capturing my imagination.
