For a second fragrance purchase, should I go for the Bleu de Chanel or Dior Homme? I'm a male.

I have a bottle of Terre d'Hermes--absolutely beautiful IMO--already, so I'm hoping if I have the TDH and one of those two then I'll have a decent enough collection. So, between Bleu de Chanel and Dior Homme, which one is more versatile? And, what vibes do they give off? Anything else I should know about either of them? Cheers.

>> No.13547188

Instead of DH get DHI and instead of that get valentino uomo intense so you have something sweeter for winter and terre for summer. It gives a feminine vibe while still being masculine and loved by women

to be fair beaver taint is quite dense and requires an attentive nose for analysis, if youve ever smelled the taint of a real, live beaver you'd understand it has richly layered aromas that remind one of fruits, leather, magnolia, juniper, and vetiver. now some fragtubers avoid actual deer piss, and even many hunters prefer synthetic formulations, but i like to apply actual fresh doe urine to my neck and pulse points to sharply contrast the rich beaver taint essence and barnyard-bandage smell of oud

Also, parfums vintage has a good clone of la nuit that actually lasts a fair amount of time compared to the fart that the original lasts like. It comes off a pinch less sweet and heavier on other notes than the current run of la nuit, but maybe that's how the original smells. (I only tried the original once or twice, so I can't really remember that far back)

Wouldn't mind a lhomme clone that didn't suck.

Ok, the majority of people seem to think those frags are short-lived even though there are so many variables it's laughable. Olfactory fatigue, spraying too little, activity level & sweating, or just being a retard in general can affect performance. If I can still smell The One EDT after an 8hr work day without reapplying, then there's obviously something wrong with the way others are wearing it to get such poor performance. Instead of getting assblasted that somebody is going against the hivemind like a bitch ass redditbabby why don't you think about what you can do to improve performance and get the longevity I do?

Those scents you named still have garbage longevity though. Telling others that they can expect a full workday of performance out of D&G The One is just bad advice given that the vast majority of reviews specifically cite poor performance as its major flaw. This general is meant to help others choose their fragrance purchases wisely, not to make excuses or apologise for certain products' inadequacies.

his point is that proper application and environment, among other things, are more important factors to consider when judging performance than the juice itself

>> No.13552996

>>13552982
That's absolutely untrue though. If you have to jump through hoops and select the right day to get passable performance out of a scent, it's not a good fragrance. If an EDT or EDP is worth your time it should offer eight hours of solid, low effort projection across a wide range of conditions. Don't buy weak juice and don't encourage others to. There's always a better performing alternative out there.

You can find hundreds of accounts online complaining that The One has trash performance. They're not all hiveminding, and there has to be merit to that overwhelming volume of opinion.

Guys, lets take a fucking step back here. This shit is 1/10th the price the price of GIT, was made by the same nose, the scent remains aqueous and lively for the entire time (as opposed to Tres Nuit which turns dry and powdery after the opening), and it's pretty much the first violet leaf/ambroxan bomb in history. I got a bottle for like 25 bucks. Take a break from the memes for a second to appreciate a true classic.

Prada - Extremely clean and fresh. Lots of iris. Modest projection, reasonably long lasting for a clean fragrance. Very linear though.

That’s not Amouage, it’s Versace Pour Homme. A really nice Citrus fragrance, good for summer days and nights. Not great performance though. Four hours for me.

Mugler Cologne - I tend to use it when I jump out of the shower and don’t plan to go anywhere. It just continues that clean smell and puts a smile on my face. Sometimes if I need to pop to the shops or run a quick errand I’ll spray it on to smell clean. That said, Prada L’Homme is good for that too. Mugler Cologne isn’t one you put on for performance exactly. You can often pick it up reasonably cheap and for 100ml it will last a while. I think it’s one everybody should own because there’s a beauty in its simplicity.

I mean, yes and no. You buy someone a box of chocolates or something, most people’ll probably like them unless they’re allergic or one of those insufferable faggots who can’t allow themselves to eat something unhealthy once in a while.

Frangrances, it’s a complete crapshoot. I’ve bought my mother 3 fragrances in my life, 2 she liked, one she hated. That’s the person I know best in the world and I still went 2-1. Buying frags for someone you don’t know that well? Good luck.

Although I think one should only wear what one loves, not just likes, I'd say most designers are considerably safe if you have talked about fragrances with the person before. I know my mom doesn't like overly sweet fragrances, and have an idea of what she likes because I had smelled her fragrances for years, so I'd probably not give her a fragrance she'd love, but I'd unlikely buy something she'd hate either.
