Blog post time, I tried L'Occitane L'Occitan today cause someone said its a good alternative to Marc Jacobs Bang. The burst of pepper at the start was great but the drydown reminded me of the soap thats used in public bathrooms. The pepper seems to come and go which is odd and I think if it was stronger and consistent I would have copped but desu, its not something I'll be copping and the search for a Bang replacement continues.

Also, someone here said they bought Eau Des Baux after trying it from the tester, walking away and not being able to resist it. I get why, its very snice and I agree to the comparison to By the Fireplace. While I liked BtFs opening more the drydown is so much better with Eau Des Baux and the quality difference is huge, particularly considering that BtF is $180 in Australia and EdB is just $80. Like holy shit, stuff like this is gonna ruin a lot of frags cause im just gonna think to myself yeah but that other frag is much cheaper and of much higher quality. EdB is a will eventually cop. Also it smells like Rooibos tea if anyone else drinks that. I tried the other two perfumes they had as well, I think it was Cedrat and L'Homme? They were freshies so I wasn't a fan.

I also tried CdGs finally. Wonderwood was ok. I don't have much to say. I didn't think it was nice desu. Black was very nice and it could replace Bang. It had the same blast and boldness that I've been looking for but Bang is maybe a bit fresher? It was brash and in your face. But I didn't get to try it on my skin cause EdB and L'Occitan were already on me. Is there anything else thats like Black out there? Theres no samples for sale on ebay either so I dunno what to do. Its not on fragrancex either, what websites sell CdGs? The more I think about it the more I feel that this is what I've been looking for for so long. I gotta try Blackpepper and Black Play as well if i can find it somewhere.

Glad you liked Eau Des Baux! And yeah it probably fits your Australian weather a bit better too. I don't really feel any rooibos tea but rooibos is great, I drink it every day and have been looking a little for perfumes with the note.

[Anonymous No.15320706]

Why is it always VPH?

I live in a warm country and for that reason own 3x more fresh frags than other kinds, but I get the most compliments with VPH by far, it's ridiculous.
It's so generic. I want to get compliments with acqua viva, fico di amalfi, eau sauvage, but they never come.

[Anonymous No.15321120]

>>15321034
The true redpill is that your choices are always influenced by factors like that and it’s a good thing. Frags are all about how they make you feel like and often some narration in your head around them makes the experience way more enjoyable. We’re just emotional bags of meat and there’s nothing wrong with wearing aventus if it really makes you feel like a kind or squid because something else.

Meant to do this threads ago, best and worst decants:

Best: CdG Blue Santal, had this since 2016. Honestly feels like a mini bottle. The cap fits air tight and the sprayer is all metal, the seller printed a snice textured label. Showing no signs of going bad.

Worst: My Infusion d'Iris decant. Literally just got this and you can already see the evaporation in the top of the cap. Seller didn't even PTFE tape the inside of the thread, but decided to use cheap clear tape on the outside with a shitty printed piece of paper that it taped over with the same clear tape

[Anonymous No.15321385]

>>15321344
I’ll take the type of decant on the left any time and day over the one on the right if it’s reasobably priced. Typically the best decant sellers I dealt with were doing the same thing as the guy did with Prada. Printing textures and using fancy labels means that you’re most likely overpaying. I guess it’s alright to have a snice bottle if you got 10ml+ and want to consider it as a part of your collection but for smaller sizes you just want to get couple weeks of wear out of it to make up your mind if it’s full bottle worthy

I dont think its gay, its fun and flirty, made for men. The pear and magnolia keep it on the sweeter side of green without the artificial sugar feel. Rose is dark, like poal, but without the feminine seriousness of the potpourri incense, instead it has a pinch of nutmeg. Its just a fun fragrance thats not sugar sweet and was on sale. It does have a bit of that designer sheen, but the smell is different than whats being pushed, so I support that. The cashmeren might bother some people, and I accept that synthetic criticism, but the other notes are pretty good considering. Im eyeballing the body lotion now.

The penis is a bit of an aberration amongst organs. It functions by filling sponges tubes with blood, therefore there is a finite limit to how big it can get before it’s size actually becomes a liability. If your dick got too big, either A. you wouldn’t be able to get fully hard, or B. you’d pass out whenever you got a boner because too much blood would be required to fill it. Therefore, penis size tends to stay within a relatively consistent range regardless of height. Yes, an actual midget’s dick, on average, won’t be too much different from an average tall man’s. (that is to say, you’ll see people of all heights with small, average, or huge dicks).

Has nothing to do with cope, it’s just medical fact.

Eugene is officially the saddest sack in fragcomm. Goes from waxing poetic about curbing his addiction and "familiarizing yourself" with what you own, and "falling in love with your collection" about a month ago during lockdown, to buying 12 bottles in a single week after things open up again. I mean this guy is pathetic. Lives in a shitty 3,000 dollar a month apartment in Toronto, estranged from his wife and kids, filming the gas station across the street and sniffing the crook of his arm alone like some kind of failure. It's insane seeing somebody absolutely consume himself in a matter of days. He went from el mas basado, to a fucking loser, and a cautionary tale for anybody who takes this shit too seriously.

Yeah that was me and i got the set. I think its worth a blind buy if you know you like violet, this is my best blind buy so far. It gets compared to fahrenheit a lot on fragrantica and i think they're right, it is an easier to wear and softer fahrenheit so if you like fahrenheit for its violet then you'll like this i think. it also got compared to Versace Dreamer which I agree with in terms of the vibe and the soft type of perfume it is.
i'm 23 so sure zoom zoom. i like woody and violet stuff but encre noire smells like wet humidity to me. i think its nice and its interesting and the quality of it is unbelievable for the price but i can't see myself wearing it for anything. i'll still give it a chance when i go for a walk or something and see how i feel about it.

All right, so here are my first impressions (only wore Colonia Leather so far, gave each Blu Med. a solid whiff or two)
>Colonia Leather
Basically a super long lasting Tuscan Leather equivalent (not identical but very close) on my skin, probably will buy since I've been looking for a good leather frag that wouldn't break the bank.
>Fico di Amalfi
First fig frag I think I've smelled, I'm a fan. Got a nic,e crisp, semi-fruity greenness to it that's hard to place if you don't already know what it is.
>Mandorlo di Sicilia
Only vanilla frag I've smelled that I actually thought I could wear as a dude, pretty neat.
>Arancia di Capri
Kinda smells like household cleaner. Not as harsh but too similar to wear without thinking about it, so no-go.

SOTD: Polo - Ralph Lauren (1978)

I already feeling depressed and this fragrance it's making worse. I mean, smells good and has great longevity, but it's strong and somewhat oppresive.The picture that I get in my mind it's yourself at a battlefield in easthern europe during autumn, severely injured, laying on the wet earth after the rain, surrounded by pine trees. Left behinded by your comrads, you're consumed by anger and guilty. You have flashbacks and see how mediocre your life was. You drink whisky from your canteen and then you die.

Notes are not the same as ingredients. Every fragrance contains things unlisted in the note breakdown, the official notes are just what the perfumer chooses to highlight. And Creed prices are a meme anyway. They claim their infusion technique is what contributes to the higher cost. They also claim it is the reason for the batch inconsistencies and performance issues.

I wouldn't describe it as particularly dry or earthy, personally, but I think that if there's a such thing as a "must try" fragrance, Mitsouko is one (along with Jicky, for that matter). I prefer the eau de toilette to the eau de parfum, if it makes a difference to you. It's hard to explain why, but I suppose it's because the latter seems more "bombastic" to me and I want the more subdued version. Either way, expect PEACH, which I've capitalized here for a reason.

But I copped 50 ml bottles on Fragrancenet for just over a $100

Just bought a bottle of Drakkar Noir on a whim, because why not? I've seen so many talking about it.

I like it. It lives up to its name. A good dark scent. It's floral but earthy as well.I wear mostly dark colors so it complements my attire. It's inexpensive, so a good first scent to wear in small amounts. I'm not a fan of the way the bottle looks, it's not offensive just boring and cheap looking. Don't worry about the people that says it smells dated, they'll die off from Covid-19 soon. Definitely worth having in your collection.

Put a tenner of that 21 quid I saved on a royal ascot race on Saturday.
each way earns me £52 profit if it pulls off a win, if it don't win, I've only lost the price of half a bottle of Absolut. not like I'm going to gamble my way into debt, just the odd flutter at big events like world darts at Lakeside or the Euro cup etc

No not based. However, when you do meet the right girl she'll appreciate your grooming habits. So many guys fail in that department. I'll never forget horror stories my exes have told me about the guys that they've been with. Just having your clothes smell of detergent and dryer sheets will have her sniffing at your neck and whispering that you smell good.

My question isn't lamenting the cost, buying Creed at retail is retarded regardless, I simply mean how does the company justify it? It's not as if any of the ingredients seem particularly rare or exclusive, this is one of the odd Creeds that doesn't even have ambergris as a note. And it was one thing when this debuted, but the cost has remained the same even after the generally unenthusiastic reception. Why would this cost more than Aventus if it's pepper corn, vetiver and sandalwood?

[Anonymous No.15327276]

>>15327263
Not seeming rare or exclusive is not the same as not being rare or exclusive. But I agree in as much as it’s strange that Creed doesn’t seem to go out of their way to market Viking as being more exclusive than the rest of the milliseme line. It’s just arbitrarily more expensive

This is now a Creed hate thread. You mean to tell me that not only is there no proof of a bottle of Creed existing prior to 1970, but also this company that has been handed down from father to son for 200 years working exclusively with various royal clientele and refuses to update the infusion technique that leads to wildly inconsistent batch variations in their $400+ perfumes because it would “break tradition” just sold to some fucking hedge fund in the same generation that opened the company to the general public? No one thinks this is strange? Parfums de Marly also goes with a royalty theme, but at least they don’t claim to have been commissioned by King Louis himself

[Anonymous No.15327323]

since creed got bought by a shady holding company like supreme did their quality (was already not headed in a good direction) will take an even bigger nose dive. find yourself some vintage himalaya/SMW/green valley bottles and call it a day. nothing else from creed is worth even half what they charge retail

Unironically this. Viking is Creed’s best release in years. It just got shit on because like 50% of Creed’s customer base is Pajeets and assorted fuccbois who only like Aventus (and then only because a Jeremy or sone other shill told them it’ll get them laid), and Viking isn’t that.

Honestly, it’s kind of a more modern, refined take on the old school, classic Old Snice. You know, from before it came in energy drink cans and was marketed to horny teenagers. The one your dad had in his bathroom’s medicine cabinet.

To me, it’s very masculine and peppery, has this sort of dry, woody-vetiver thing going, and a lot of mint. There’s some citrus, but I don’t find it super prominent. Definitely not a “panty dropper”, and definitely not something fuccbois would go anywhere near.

Thanks, think the original reason I tried it was because somebody said it was a masculine rose fragrance but I barely got any rose. Not that it wasn’t there but I wouldn’t say it was a “rose fragrance”.

[Anonymous No.15327818]

Nah, definitely not a rose fragrance to me either. Like you said, I get it, but it’s not very prominent. Viking’s a straight-up barbershop Fougere (inb4 autism).

what is the worst fragrance you bought a sample of based off a suggestion from here/basenotes/fragrantica/youtube/twitter and it ended up being absolute unwearable trash? i bought a vintage amouage gold sample off ebay and it smells like if baby powder/talcum powder somehow became rancid. thankfully it's also unbelievably strong and stays on your skin after the first and second wash too

[Anonymous No.15327838]

>>15327802
I actually get quite a bit of rose after about half an hour on my skin, but it’s not the dominant note and I would never refer to Viking as a “rose scent”. There’s way too much going on to call it any one thing, but I agree with the modern barbershop description. The vetiver competing with the peppermint gives it this interesting sweetness competing with sea salt sort of vibe throughout the life of the fragrance. It’s more complex than people give it credit for
