Which one is less used between YSL L'Homme and Prada L'Homme?

Wouldn't like to have something everybody else uses...

[Anonymous No.13571509]

I am thinking of blind-buying this, since it's not too expensive, I'm getting tired of wearing the same fragrance every day (Lanvin Avant Garde) and at the moment I don't have the time or care to look around for different scents/order testing sizes.
I'm interested because it supposedly smells like ink, but I've read different things about that. Thoughts?

>>13571686
Not just aventus but I think there is some truth to it in general. That said for you it's still olfactory fatigue probably.

I'd love a vetiver based frag to go to my collection but I've only tried Eau Sauvage Cologne and that's too mature smelling for my liking.

Aventus is good, yes. It is, however, babby’s first niche. CdNIM is not a good alternative, it smells harsh and cheap. Just buy a decent of Aventus or Pineapple Vintage.

I’d sample first, though, if you’ve never smelled it. It’s pretty safe for a niche scent, but it still might not be to your liking.

With many of my personal Creed bottles the perfume had absolutely zero performance on the first two to three wears. Only after I decanted about 3 ml into a travel spray and let the bottle sit for a month did the scent really develop decent performance. This was my experience with Millesime Imperial and Aventus in particular, although most of my Creeds seemed to reach peak performance only after "macerating" in-bottle for a full year.

If you have access to a Le Labo boutique where they mix fragrance for you to order, talk to them about the phenomenon. They typically advise customers to allow 2-3 weeks before achieving full performance. I firmly believe based on personal experience that this also applies to recently opened bottles from many other brands and that having more air in the bottle helps to accelerate the process.

Vetiver is probably one of my favorite accords.
Original vetiver is good, but also consider trying mugler cologne. It's similar but mutes the vetiver. Some other of my favorites:
Encre noire and the extreme flanker
Guerlain vetiver, I prefer vetiver extreme though
Guerlain l'eau and l'eau boisee
And of course, terre d Hermes.
Grey vetiver is also not a bad choice

Kind of opens like a Cool Water or Bleu de Chanel with bright citruses and dihydromyrcenol, then goes into a lot of pine, greens, herbs, patchouli while still maintaining that Bleu vibe. Keep in mind this came out almost 20 years earlier. Ends with a salty woody amber and vanilla. Crazy performance and the drydown reminds me vaguely of Aventus although again keep in mind this came way earlier. I can't believe more people don't know about it.

It's not even that. I've sampled most recommended designer scents and I dislike them too. Already tried the ones you recommended, but stopped about 2 years ago.

Sorry, I should have specified that I'm looking for recommendations for either newly released scents.

An idea might be picking out the specific notes that you like and using either basenotes or fragrantica and searching by those notes to give you some ideas?

[Anonymous No.13575525]

>>13575445
That's my problem, I'm not sure what notes I enjoy. One fragrance will have notes that I love, but I still dislike the cologne and vice versa.

I generally dislike tobacco, for example, but I like D&G The One, and am planning to test Tobacco Vanille due to it apparently being similar to Eau des Baux. I love vanilla like in Le Male, EdB, and MiP, but didn't like it in Cologne of the Missions.

I've extensively searced Basenotes and Fragrantica when I first bought my samples. I guess that's why I'm asking here; to get recommendations for stuff similar to fragrances I know I like.

DHI might feel feminine because of iris and "lipstick smell". Sheer sweetness of it is pretty polarizing

What comes to sprays:

3 on the neck - both front sides and back
2 for both shoulders
1 on the chest

Some people spray back of their knees, back sides of elbows, wrists but that's is entirely personal preference

[Anonymous No.13577006]

>>13576972
If you're only planning on using it for this occasion and then maybe only once a week I wouldn't bother with a full bottle of whatever you go for, just get a 5/10/15ml sample of something, that'll still last a while with infrequent use.

As for sprays, depends on the strength of what you're wearing, something strong might only be 2-3 whereas something light might be 5-6. Personally I tend to do one on each wrist, one on each side of the neck and one on the chest.

Armaf have both good and bad fragrances, though most are honestly pretty bad for one reason or another. With CDNIM it's a matter of harshness. Tres Nuit has trash longevity and embarrassing spelling.

The Pride of Armaf is actually a very good Sauvage clone with overnight longevity. I am very critical of clones but can recommend Pride in good conscience. Armaf Niche Platinum is also Very Good considering it's an original scent. Sour woody spice and citrus. Has the appeal of popular designer fragrance with above average longevity.

For the anon who asked me about Sapientiae, my summer samples arrived and I've so far tried three of them. Keep in mind that where I live it's around 20-25 degrees Celcius so maybe I could have different opinions on the fragrances if it was warmer.
Cocoventura is really fruity, with coconut being by far the most prominent note to my nose, especially after it dries down; it smells pleasant but I don't really know if I like the idea of smelling like a walking coconut. As I expected from all of these, they don't really project strongly, actually they're quite weak on projection, although they all have lasted me a good amount of time as a skin scent (for real, I've asked for opinions and people had to come super close to my neck to be able to smell anything, but that came from the one that projected the least). This one I've worn three times, I think.
Naomi for me smells really terrible, like what I would expect some green-smelling disinfectant to smell like. I've only worn this one once and am not looking forward to doing it in public.
Bergalicius is the one I've liked the most, it's the closest thing to something bright and citrusy I've smelled from them(maybe it would be brighter if it was an EDT), unfortunately, as I said, it was the one that performed the least for me, but I understand it probably needs to be worn in a hotter day.

I will post more as I try the other two and in case I change my mind about my thoughts on the ones I've already tried.

Shower more thoroughly. Change your soap and your routine. Keep at it for a week or two to stabilize and see if your fragrances smell any better. Or, you can go with the tried and true hippie patchouli bomb. Basically any monster patchouli fragrance should hide your lack of proper self care, as it has for generations.

Consider Santa Maria Novella Patchouli or Lorenzo Villoresi Firenze Patchouli for the dryest, earthiest, most assertively Patch scents out there. If you can't find these in your area, search for Dior Patchouli Imperial or Zegna Javanese Patchouli. Both are excellent choices as a patch-plus woody composition for daily use. The Dior is even fancy enough for special occasion wear and gets a lot of attention at formal gatherings.
On the sweeter (and less expensive) end of the spectrum you could do far worse than Montale Patchouli Leaves or Molinard Patchouli. The Montale may be the most potent fragrance I've ever worn, and is a patchouli-vanilla-amber-wood monster. The Molinard still features some vanilla and amber, but not to the same degree as the Montale. Molinard is an all-purpose, all-season sort of patch, and it's cheap enough so that you can see whether patchouli is a note that works for you with minimal risk.

I want to ask you a precursor question before dipping in the world of fine fragrance: what kind of clothes pick up the the least amount of smell?

I have some old clothes, and when I wear them, some smell no better or worse than I do after a day of work. On the other hand, I have some clothes that's supposedly 100% cotton, yet it smells awful even after breaking a small sweat. When I take it off after getting back home I find that I don't smell of sweat at all, it was all my t-shirt.

[Anonymous No.13582011]

>>13581884
I’ve tried. My experience was that it’s way harder than you think to make a fragrance that doesn’t smell like shit. It’s also a lot more expensive than you think, considering that you’ll often have to buy way more than you need of certain ingredients, and the fact that shipping (especially if you’re international) usually requires hazmat certification.

Honestly, it’s not really worth doing unless you’re willing to commit years of your life and thousands of dollars to really learning the intricacies of perfumery. You might think it’ll be easy, but mixing notes together and managing to keep them balanced and complimentary is much more difficult than you think it’ll be.

Le Labo was the first niche house I fell for

Thé Noir 29, Iris 39, and Bergamote 22, are my faves; Rose 31 is perhaps the most dynamic frag I've tried, and the rest are at the very least interesting (tho I haven't sampled Fleur d'Orange, Jasmin, or any of the ciry exclusives).Their only dud imo is AnOther 13.

Most of them, nowadays, considering that most substances that are used have already been tested ages and ages ago.

If you need one that is really loud and upfront about it check out Lush. Most of their stuff smells of patchouli and hippies, but I stilll really like it and I feel it might be right up your alleyway as well.

Chinese made products sold in china are fine. It's stuff that is imported into China that is the issue. There may be some change on this as of late last year but every company seems to sell there and takes the money over the cruelty free status. Mugler seems to be the only exception I could find.

She gets so upset about the most trivial shit that doesn’t matter in the least. She’s 19.

14 is over the board, but i'd go for a 16 in a heartbeat. I'm tired of girls my age (i'm 28), they want kids and family and shit but i'm fresh out of uni and my career is nowhere near the point where i could afford a family (mostly because i want a house wife and my area is pretty expensive, even many young executives around here need two incomes for a family, so it'll take 5-8 years). I was busting my ass for years in uni, now i want to take it slow and build a strong relationship but these fuckers want to get creampied few months into relationship because their facebooks are full of that family stuff.
I don't mind a stupid 16 if she's a good material to work with. I've been dating freshmen lately but they have all the downsides of a young girls, like stupidity, but are already past the point where you can groom them into wife material. I don't want to end up as a bitter fart because i married a bitch.

It sounds like you are gonna end up as a bitter old fart regardless, since your ideas of relationships are warped and unrealistic.

Like minded females my age are already taken, since they are like minded and, well, have been taken by their 20th birthday.
If, by your 16 you don't know what you want from life, you're a child and i would avoid you like plague. I can deal with naiveté, not with you being a child.
My expectations and ideas were always 'unrealistic', but so far i've gotten them to work - this landed me a pretty nice, prospective job. I'm sure a nuclear family in 21st century isn't nearly as unrealistic as you might think.
Anyway, it isn't nywhere near the top of my priorities,right now i'm 100% on building career and financial security.

I have a buddy who’s literally autistic (he’s got the ass burgers), and he goes to anime cons a lot. Anyway, one day he was out seeing a movie and he ran into this girl he knew from a con, who was there with her boyfriend and another female friend of hers. They wound up going to dinner, and over dinner, the friend had mentioned she was single and talked about a vidya game I also like. My buddy mentioned that I liked that game too, and said her and I should meet, so he gave her my number. She texted me, we set up a date. I didn’t realize how young she was until after our first date, which had gone quite well.

Also, I bought her a small bottle of Amouage Dia Woman. She likes it, but almost never wears it, because she thinks it’s so expensive and doesn’t want to waste it. Only other fragrance she wears is that Vera Wang Princess, and only when we fuck. She makes sex into this whole big thing. Always goes into the bathroom and does her hair and makeup, puts on fragrance and lingerie, comes to my room and does a little strip tease for me. It’s sexy, but also adorable as hell that she tries so hard.
