Thinking about getting some niche bottles, recommend frags that i should sample from these houses: Serge Lutens, Mancera, Montale, L'Artisan Parfumeur, Etat Libre d'Orange, La Sultane de Saba. Can't get samples from other houses in this shithole, only full bottles. Also, is Byredo discovery pack worth getting?
Notes i like: santal, oud, cedar, vetiver, lavender, iris, tobacco, geranium, tonka bean, pine, moss.

Do you have money that isn't just "disposable" but "throwaway"? Get BdC

EDT has about 2 hours longevity and then it becomes a literal deodorant scent. EDP and parfum is much better than that but the scent itself is SO, SO BLAND you'd really have to be a 10/10 on a confidence scale or just not giving a damn about it - and in this case why'd you buy this frag? Do you like it? If you did you wouldn't ask us and just bought it given the "good deal" scenario

It might seem like I hate BdC but I don't. I do however dislike how it looks like a blatant attempt of cash grab on an overpriced product from a giant brand

tldr: buy edp

What are your thoughts on Tom Ford Private Blend?

Any favourites? Where do you think they rank compared to other companies? I feel like the PB fragrances are in a weird place where they’re heading towards niche prices, but with designer appeal. Personally I think they’re among the best I’ve ever used, but also ones I would rarely wear except Oud Wood. Chances are I’d be more likely to order a sample of something like Tobacco Oud for a one-off event rather than a whole bottle. I just think they’re a little too... confrontational for most people around you.

They’re like art house cinema. Extremely creative and rewarding, but not something you’re ever likely to hear most people talk about or appreciate.

Also Neroli Portofino is proof that just because it’s expensive doesn’t mean it will make it last any more than a few hours for a fresh fragrance.

[Anonymous No.13585567]

>>13585558
I've only tried tobacco vanille. It's probably one of the best put together scents I've ever worn, but it's one of those scents that I feel makes a loud statement and I just wouldn't feel comfortable wearing daily as a collegefag. Graduate this year though, so sky is the limit.

But back to the point, they generally tend to be some of the best in the class in the fragrance. Long lasting, moderate to extreme projection, and very well blended scents that bring out most of the notes. I don't really care about niche vs designer. Plenty of niche scents smell like something designer and vice versa. I do think they are overpriced though for retail, but I feel that way about most mainstream houses that charge that much. (Like creed)

1. TV 10/10 Never smelled anything better ever.
2. GV 9.5/10 just perfection.
3. OW 9/10 Perfect but low on longevity.
4. TL 9/10 a gem and very unique.

[Anonymous No.13585649]

Favourite Diptyque?

Really like Tam Dao and Philosykos (but those are some crowd favourites). Liked Florabellio. Did not like L'ombre Dans L'eau at all (so cloying to my nose).

Curious about Do Son, Vetyverio (as I don't wear vetiver often so I'm curious about their take), and many others. I guess I have to keep making Nordstrom trips until I try every thing that's locally available.

That’s the thing with TV. It’s a masterpiece, but the opening is so in your face I just think it doesn’t match my personality. I think if they knocked maybe 20% off the price they’d be perfect.

>>13585574
Good to see some love for Grey Vetiver. It’s one of my favourites, but I just think it’s too expensive. It’s the only fragrance I buy despite thinking it costs too much.

Interesting you don’t think OW lasts though, I get really good performance out of it. Not as long as TV or TO, but still a long time.

On;y Diptyque I have is Tempo, which is a great refined patchouli scent.

[Anonymous No.13586012]

>>13585987
I haven't tried the EdP, working my way through the line of EdT's first. Although I should probably go back and do EdT vs. EdP for my favourites from the line.

Tam Dao is a great scent. It's like 90% straight sandalwood with some floral-ness to make it versatile and wearable all year-round. If you like sandalwood definitely give it a go. I don't know if my Nordstrom got the new scents. I'll have to go back and grab a few more.

My reasoning for considering bleu de chanel is that i interact with many smelly people at work, customers and coworkers alike. I already told my coworkers that smell that they stink but i only got "be more considerate; don't be insensitive" comments. Fortunately the workplace isn't a "scent sensitive" environment so I can wear fragrances.
Bdc is the perfect all rounder that i want. I got other fragrances for other purposes already.

Mid 20s guy that has anxiety about how I smell, any good way to sample some scents I like. Any advice for someone who doesn't typically wear any cologne or anything to figure out of this is a way to manage that?

BDC in all forms has better longevity than you have described, and I'm a real performance Nazi when it comes to scents. Bottles get stronger as they age, taking six months to peak. Mine give me a full day (6-8 hours), both EdT and EdP.

Be aware that ordering samples isn't cheap, as in it works out at you paying much more per ml than buying a full bottle. It is however, a good way to get a broad range of things in one go and sample them as and when you like, whereas in a store you can't really replicate that.

Do you guys ever contrast your frag with your fit?
I'm aiming for a streetwear/comfy fit mix up with a rollup backpack, turtleneck, some sneakers and pinrolled chinos and was wondering if I should accent the comfyness with getting a sample of TV, or if I should contrast it with something like Eros or Joop?

Sapientiae here. Was going to post earlier but lost the message I wrote and that sucks. I've tried Aloha and Lemonice, the former being kinda bad to my nose, I don't quite know what I disliked about it but it might be the Neroli note, and the latter has probably the best opening of the bunch, with the drydown for me being probably as good as Bergalicius, and Lemonice also performed pretty well on my skin, given that skin scent thing I said on the other post and considering that where I live is currently on the cooler months. With that said, I don't know what I will do with Aloha and Naomi, probably gonna let those sit on my wardrobe for a couple months and try them again when the summer comes, or something like that. I may post again about Sapientiae, but not in a recent future, maybe in a couple weeks, when I'm really used to all the frags. Anyway those were my impressions on Sapientiae Niche Summer Line, hope that the guy who asked for them is still here.

Got a bunch of samples after I asked some suggestions last thread, mostly Profumum Roma, 2 of the Amouage library and some others. I'll give a short take on them when I feel like it.

Yesterday tried Memoir of a Tresspasser. Opens with a smokey boozy vanilla. Really reminded me of Cologne of the Mission which is a really cheap but really good vanilla scent. After a while some woods come through. It's ok, lasts a long time but these type of scents often feel like room sprayers.

I have a bottle. You don’t really get a ton of the mate. It’s more patchouli and some light florals with a little bit of spiciness. Smells a bit earthy, and a lot lighter than you’d expect it to be. It’s pretty restrained for a patchouli scent. Smells very refined and not dirty at all.

It has a lot of similarities as a whole (made by the same guy Pierre Bourdon, rumors are he made it as an EDT version of Green Irish Tweed) but ultimately it is more abstract, watery, hazy and aromatic. I think its an awesome frag desu. Way better than trite thats coming out nowadays

Finally got a bottle of this. Really liking it so far. A little old school and a little new school. Lavender and some spices give it this almost barbershop kinda vibe, but it's got a lot more going on. Opens up bright and zesty with citruses, mint, and ginger while the birch gives it a woody masculine backbone. Then the lavender and a little sweetness comes out to smooth things out a little. Very uplifting, pleasing, and easy to wear, while still standing out from the crowd and being somewhat unique. Performance is at least average. Best in moderate to warmer weather but could be a year round frag. Could be dressed up or down but leaning casual. Any age can pull this off well. Really happy to have it.

And to that one anon who responded to my query about this frag a few months ago by saying that he buys out all the stock of this on ebay, eat shit. I got two more bottles on the way :)

We need to stop recommending old, garbage tier cheapies that nobody truly enjoys wearing. For under $30 and a little shopping around you can cop bottles of many "real" frags which are actually desirable. You may have to go with tester bottles and dig through ebay listings, but real bargains are definitely there. Tip: filter Fragrancenet by new arrivals and check for updates at least twice a week.

Pic very related. Recent 2018 release, possibly the best in its series. Smells like a blend of Polo Blue EdP and the first Mr. Burberry. Very fresh, modern, and perfect for summer. Why would we encourage anyone pay more for a 15 year old clone of a 22 year old fragrance, the original of which is itself completely played out?

Your experience is typical for those specific scents. Sauvage is a sillage beast with a strong fixative base. If you want a longer lasting version of AHS you need to step up to AHS Eau Extreme, which gives full day performance. Nearly every blue bottle Tom Ford Private Blend lasts < 4 hours.

It's hard to get because it's not very widely distributed and the brand is not that well known. This makes it a little more exclusive. In terms of smell it's nothing groundbreaking but it is super likeable while still being different from most of today's offerings and it smells much more expensive than it is. On top of that it has a sexy bottle and good performance. What really makes it desirable though is that you can have all of the above for like $30USD if you can find it. You get a really well rounded, well done package for very little money.

I'd like one more full bottle to round off my small collection until I'm done with a small collection of samples I have.
I can't decide between Pure Havane, Armani Code or Individuel for a versatile cooler weather scent. Preferably something I can wear anywhere except for work, given I don't wear anything that's not citrusy since I'm a waiter.

Anyone that promotes Dua fragraces is probably a shill. I dont really watch reviewers anymore except for Fragranceview and Exotic Scents but not really because I would blindbuy their recommendation but more because I enjoy their videos. They also review more niche stuff instead of the newest Armani or Chanel or whatever which I can just try out myself.

>trustworthy
how can a frag reviewer be "trustworthy"? it's all subjective. you have to find one your agree with most of the time, but that entails sampling dozens and dozens of scents already and forming your own opinion on it, which is harder to do compared to, e.g., music or film reviewers

flowers were men's territory in the european tradition. even the original maker of 'eau de cologne' wrote that his recipe was evocative of "mountain daffodils and orange blossoms after the rain." now it is women's fragrances that are predominantly floral

Dead wrong. Old spice for women was introduced in 1937, while Old spice for men was introduced in 1938. So, the first Old spice release was for women, but the scent that we know today was always intended for, and worn by men.

I'm already only using olive oil soap sparingly.

Perfume is some scents, alcohol, and oil, right?

So, if I mix:
Everclear
Some oil that lasts a while
Some woody scent
And some orange scent

Am I missing anything?

Anyone else autistic enough to (correctly) call out other people's fragrances? I get strange reactions when I identify what someone's wearing. I asked new girl at work if that was Black Opium and she was speechless for a moment, I have no idea why. Sauvage guy stopped wearing Sauvage when I named it. Aventus guy seemed embarrassed that he had spent so much on something thinking it was rare and exclusive only to have it IDed on the first work wear.

lol. get ready for some backlash. people are going to make jokes at your expense about sniffing drugs or bombs. i think thats cool though, and have been working on being able to identify individual notes. have you seen the documentary linked in the OP? the training perfumers go through is insane, they can name synthetic accords note for note just off a whiff.

i am able to name some obvious notes that have been dominant in the industry lately like ambroxan and iso e super, and some generally familiar aromas like rose or incense, but lots of herbs, flowers, spices, and wood notes still run together in my head.

Years ago, in the early 2000s, I would see a fragrance note "study kit" sold at my local Pottery Barn. I always wanted to cop it but never did, though I sniffed the hell out of their demonstration set. The Body Shop near me also used to have a make your own scent service with a carousel of some 50-70 fragrance oils which you could sniff. I know most floral scents from that store as well as from gardening / visiting florists.

You can learn herbs and spices at the market. Pink pepper is good to be familiar with as it's popular. Definitely cardamom and anise. Nutmeg is semi common in men's fragrance. You can find fresh sage, rosemary, and thyme in the produce department.

Certain essential oils can be sampled at a Whole Foods or equivalent. You should be able to find patchouli, lavender, vetiver, and bergamot without much trouble.

The Molecule series are actually good for learning to identify modern synthetics. I enjoy wearing 04 / Javanol in particular and can really pick out "sandalwood" in perfumes a lot better after becoming familiar with that version of the note.

That said, I only really encounter super common fragrances, so IDing them isn't a tough feat as long as they're not brand new to me.
