Second for S E X

[Anonymous No.14484459]

I honestly don't know who's worse. BEHOLD THE WOLF or PAJEET EROS.


Someone was asking about MDCI scents. Invasion Barbare was a massive let down and eclipsed in smell and peformance by Penhaligons Satorial, Tom Ford Bea de Jeur, Histories de Parfums 1725, Amouage Bracken Man, Houbigant Fougere Royale and YSL Rive Gauche.

Chypre Palatin was "nice" but leaned feminine on me. Had a fruity plastic undertone as well. Chypre Siam by Rogue Perfumery was better for me due to the lack of ingredient restrictions and Guerlain Mistuko felt less feminine and more wearable as well.

Hello, long time lurker/casual poster, frag enthusiast. Finally became a big boy and moved out of my parent's basement, still a unifag and my money is being spent more on social life/relationship and gym stuff. I never was really into "casual scents" and I'd love to explore more niche but sadly I don't have time nor money to decide every morning which scent I want to use everyday and don't have the finances to buy buncha new stuff.

What cheap but godlike "normies will love it and think you smell good" frag should I buy? I want to smell masculine. I know that fragrance is just a smell and won't make people love me.

Using Dreamer as signature/evening frag, but I want to reserve it for evenings/special occasions only.

What would you fags reccomend, I'm honestly just thinking of swallowing the coolwater pill and just bathing in it. Also, when I'll have more money to spend I wanted to try Kouros as a daily driver, is that a good idea? My GF loves it. I could actually try rocking TL Pour Homme since it's kinda similar to Kouros, but I'm not sure how well it would work in hot weather plus from what I've tried it doesnt last very long

Ever actually got your dick wet? You don't sound so, bro. Hate is actually one of the most intense emotions a human can have, besides love. If your ex really hates you, means you're still important to her which is a good thing. Hatefuck is a thing for a reason.

Also who gives a shit about your female ex? Get a new GF and make her jealous, but it will probably not work with your niche frag.

Sounds about right. Chanology brought a lot of newfags and things got noticeably worse. Since then, the only times I’ve noticed post quality going down is whenever people here did something big that gained mainstream attention. /pol/‘s bullshit during the 2016 election, for example. Things got very noticeably more cancerous since then. Seasons are irrelevant, it’s events that cause more cancer.

Ah, ok.

Restaurants: Thai Bird on Zedijk is must-visit. There’s two of them: the restaurant and the snack bar, they’re right across from each other. The snack bar is the “real” place. The restaurant was bought out, but the new owner kept the name because of Bird’s reputation. Get the chicken satay at least for sure. Also, Cannibale Royale for steak, ribs and burgers. They have a couple locations. Metropolitan on Warmoestraat has great gelato and fantastic macaroons, brownies, and cannolis. There’s a chocolate shop inside the Old Chruch in De Wallen that has the best chocolate in the city, hands down.

Frag shops, mostly De Bijenkorf and Skins Cosmetics are where you want to go.

The girls... well, a few of my regulars have recently retired, so my list isn’t too long anymore. - - Ella at Bethlemsteeg 10 during the day. Very sweet Romanian girl, very petite spinner type, quite pretty. Very nice girl and very generous with her time. Brunette, sometimes has her hair up, sometimes wears black stockings. Has a few tattoos including a sleeve on one arm. Sometimes wears Tom Ford TL.
- Veronica. My all-time favorite. Stoofsteeg 3-1 during the day, a couple doors down from the porn shop. Tall, blond Russian. All natural, great tits, very toned, killer ass. Has a tattoo of a Chinese character and maybe a cherry blossom tree on her belly. Has one of those little studs above her lip on one side. Usually wears a black and pink/red bra and panties set. Really great girl. Just a sex bomb, super nice and friendly, gives you great value for your money, very intelligent, you’ll have fun with her. She always goes “bingo!” and does a little dance when she makes you cum. She’s the best. Be good to her.

Being gay. Not joking, Le Male was a huge gay scent along with Joop Homme for decades. Much like Aventus, it's a scent dudes loved on other dudes. Women....not so much.

Each iteration of Le Male tweaked the formula and the flankers were aimed at hetero fuccbois.

Ok so I've had time to test a couple of the zoologist I told you guys about:

Hyrax: Wet badger asshole. Never in my life have I smelled something so animalic. Unironically shits on korous in that department. Korous is the terrier, Hyrax is the dire wolf. Soft spices but the shit and piss hogs the show. Its a masterpiece to a nose more refined than mine

Moth: Really strange gothic spice and floral. It has clear smoked honey note. Surprisingly animalic. The musk has some balls which is unexpected and unfortunate. Musk ruins it, would be a masterpiece if it didnt have it. I am not averse to musk but its incongruent to its otherwise very delicate demeanor. I wish I liked this, I really wish I did. Such a good concept fucked by one ingredient.

Civet: Dry Skanky floral. For being called "civet" it isnt overboard on the civet. You could wear it to work. Sexy and spicy. Not my cup of tea personally but I can see this being one of the biggest hits (which it is)

Camel: My favorite of the four. Its fucking good. Cant believe its not mentioned more. Might be buying a bottle. Fruity, resinous, animalic, and incense. It's based. Enough balls to tickle your nose hairs but very pleasantly. The date note is great. Really underrated in the house. First 5 seconds I knew it was good stuff.

Will report bat tomorrow.

Try Serge Lutens Arabie as well if you like Camel. They’re pretty similar. Arabie I think is a bit sweeter and stickier, maybe a bit more cumin, but very similar overall.

[Anonymous No.14486783]

>>14486775
Just go to a store and start sniffing shit. A real fragrance store, not the old spice rack at walmart. Note that fragrances smell differently after being warmed up on your skin after a while, so they don't smell constant all the time. Over time, you'll learn what smells you like and what you don't like. Buy samples online before buying full containers.

It was perfectly fine, but given the legacy I was a bit baffled. I also sprayed a couple of Lacoste fragrances and I enjoyed both of those much more. Longevity on Le Male was great, but that was all it had going for it.

the new generic edgy internet culture is all about faux machismo in the form of aggression and bringing up edgy shit i.e race wars, racism etc THE SECOND someone attacks you because it's how you come across as le edgy internet badass

Old 4chan culture was aggressive because everyone was so autistic and passionate about their weird niche hobbies that they had a shitton of esoteric knowledge about that if you told someone they had shit taste you could back up exactly WHY they had bad taste and this was how all the old fags learnt so much so quickly about literally anything, you'd go in a thread after learning the memes via lurking for a good while then you'd say something like
>wow you're actually buying creed, it smells like fart grass
then someone would reply with
>hey RETARD I like creed because it has the perfect amount of fart AND grass, resmell it and you'll realise it's not fart grass you spastic, it's grass FART
and you'd be like fuck maybe he's right and you'd re-review whatever or do more research and come back to it and be like
>2009
>not buying grass fart

whereas now because everyone is ALPHA it goes more like
>ahah imagine buying fart grass in 2019
>hey FUCK YOU NIGGER I CAN BUY WHATEVER I WANT KILL YOURSELF RIGHT NOW

it sucks but the whole basedboy/alpha x beta/incel shite has permeated the brains of all the newfags because everyone was so desperate to be a right wing alpha non-sjw reactionary as it appeared to be the only way to "save the west" i.e not capitulating to refugees and what not and now 4chan culture is gone almost for good

That I basically agree with. Everyone is such a tryhard, no one will ever back down and admit that they’re wrong about something, because everyone has to be a “Chad” (which is not a real fucking thing), and Chads don’t take shit from anyone, so if anyone disagrees with you, call him a pencil-neck virgin dweeb and move on. It’s all laughably transparent.

Also, for as much shit as people talk about reddit (which is also silly, because basically everyone uses at least one subreddit to some degree because reddit is often simply the best place to get information on some topics), people sure do love to upvote/downvote posts. The whole based/cringe thing? Just 4chan’s upvote/downvote button. Think about it. What does responding to a post with based/cringe do? What information does it give other than saying I liked/agree with/dislike/disagree with this post? It’s literally the same thing.

based/cringe I don't really care about, it's just part of new internet culture to say "I approve" something, it's whatever

THoughts on this, I think I will like it bc it has Vanilla as a base. It also has that same "cognac" color of the YSL intense.

I figured out what it is I like, I like Vanilla, and any kind of wood as the base notes. I don't want no flowery or fruity bullshit. There is no right or wrong, but this is why i don't like Eros, it smells way too fruity and citrusy I hate that/

Eros Red is good thogh, I will reinvigorate my liking of that.

Something tells me a good % of frag users here simply think one perfume is better bc it costs 150 instead of 100 for the same size. You are not thinking straight. That's the only reason I can think, or you just happen to like Citrus scents and bought the more expensive citrus scent. Then you shit on the cheaper Vanilla scent.

If you're strapped for cash you could do alot worse than buy some bottles of Fine aftershave.

They're seriously good clones of established frags that only cost 15 bux. The longevity and sillage is as good if not better than most EDT's and you can put it in an atomiser and use it as a spray if you're not into brutalising your face after a shave.

the rivegauche, tere de hermes and aventus clones are pretty much spot on. The grey vetiver isn't quite there but still smells fantastic.
I haven't tried the rest yet.

Wore Terre D'Hermes Eau Tres Fraiche yesterday for the first time in a while. I'm trying to finish off a 5mL decant because I'm not a huge fan of it but it's also taking forever because it's strong on my skin.

Every time I wear it I get compliments from my GF compared to my more auto-tier fragrances. What the heck do I do? This is being disruptive to my goal attitude to wear interesting niche-tier fragrances for myself only.

[Anonymous No.14490590]

I could see where you got some piss vibes from Eau Extreme, but the main note of mint should have really taken center stage.

As for Azzaro wanted by night, it smells like what I imagine a Parfum extrait version of YSL L'Homme would smell like. Its definitely a warm feeling fruity spicy frag, I am glad I got it, I cant wait to try it out in the cold months.

Eros Flame is absolute trash, its eros with a noxious orange instead of mint, and worse projection and longevity, anyone who likes this should be sent directly to the gas chamber.

Hawas is an absolute beast mode, it smells like a high quality Invictus, the projection is absolutely massive, have to be real careful with how much you use, it can last up to 24hrs.

Valentino is one of the most complimented frags in my collection, it starts with vanilla/tobacco and dries down woody/leathery. Fantastic projection and last 6-8hrs easily.

Layton is a unique interesting scent that has more compliments than any other, the projection is great and lasts 6+ hours. Very versatile, fills a lot of roles and stands out. Most people have not smelled anything like it, and its mass appealing.
Clubbing= Hawas
Date night = CH Men Prive or Mont Blanc Individuel

>>14490760
Yes, my roomate uses it exclusively, if thats what you are looking for, that is exactly what it is, a clean, barely noticeable frag. Though JPG frags are made for fags by fags. Creed Aventus is a boxer dropper, and Armaf Club de nuit is very close clone of it.

Themed perfume has been very much in-vogue recently, and people did some really interesting collaborations during the post-war period and even in WW2 and before, like Vivienne Westwood with SS-camo based clothing, I'm curious if anyone's done any perfumes that have any connection to political figures or events

Do you have any industry/insider experience with fragrance formulas or aromachemicals used by the major fragrance manufacturers? If not, your opinion is secondary to those who do.

Loookin forward to go back to Europe on Monday and collect my parcel with MDCI Chypre Palatin and Invasion Barbare from post to expand pic relates by these two.
I bought also CdG Wonderwood for a bargain on eBay (£20) but not sure if I’ll keep it. I’m looking to reduce number of frags actually but then some good deal on a frag you always wanted to test shows up and you pull the trigger. I’m glad that restrained from buying a vintage bottle of Dzing! yesterday. I get getting samples for a sake of testin new stuff but there’s something weakminded and effeminate in having more fragrances than your girlfriend that you even don’t reach often just for a sake of collecting.

There aren’t really any memes for Sauvage besides the short lived entrepreneur meme from a year and a half ago because sauvage smells like almost nothing. Its just a totally greyed out and muted (scentwise) version of Fierce, cool water, curve, MB Legend with a bunch of peppery ambrox added in. It definitely smells good but it’s totally indicative of our shallow apocalyptic time period that the best selling fragrance is a totally bland nondescript woody amber. I’ve smelled laundry detergents with more personality than Sauvage.

To be fair you should try to learn some polish next time. It’s extremely well perceived if someone puts some effort in learning even basic phrases. Everyone respects that and you can flirt awkwardly with chicks in polish and they’ll find it cute. Also remember to be polite to dudes and elderly ppl there and you’ll be ahead of 99% Brits visiting Poland (the britbong lads going there for cheap beer and chicks destroyed severely how locals perceive brits).

Sounds like a good trip.

I learnt a few basics before I left and picked up on a few more while I was there. I got nervous trying to say “thank you for some reason. I don’t know why that one always made me clam up. I met a lady’s grandmother and she lit up when I said hello in Polish. I’m not sure if I said the correct thing (część) because I don’t know if that’s informal or formal, but she seemed to like it all the same. For such an unusual language to read, it’s really lovely to hear spoken. As long as it’s not spoken by me.

I’m kinda on the fence myself between Alexandria II, Naxos and Mefisto. Id pull the trigger as I tried them all at Harrods but I’m not sure if they’re really bottle worthy. I had the same thing with Nio - loved it when I sprayed it for the first time but then it wasn’t really bottle worthy as I raalised wearing it for more than one evening. I actually quite siak like it now. It was also pain in the ass to sell the bottle afterwards. That’s why I’m actively looking for decants of these but they’re quite rare.

[Anonymous No.14491173]

>>14491135
That’s how I felt about all the ones I tried. They were snice, high-quality, but didn’t really wow me. They have them at a bunch of places in Amsterdam, and I believe they’re somewhat cheaper there as well. I’ll take a look. I always wind up buying a bottle or two of something interesting whenever I’m over there.

Other anon here, not too knowledgeable on Bat and I've heard mixed things about Replica stuff (e.g. it's either great or designer-tier trash). I got a few samples of IA, a couple of them weren't for me and people claim they have a DNA that runs common through the line, but I really enjoyed A City on Fire most out of them. The opening is straight smoke and burning but I can pick out the interplay of the notes like the berries and labdanumin the dry down. If you like smokey scents it's worth a go.
