What is the most happy uplifting scent?

I need something to wear after waking up and staying inside all day during winter. (I'd put on a more cozy darker scent probably in teh evening)


I've been really liking byredo sunday cologne. How is portifino, or nishane colognise? I loved 4711, but it lasts even a little too short.

[Anonymous No.15689115]

>>15689066
My favorites there are Eau Sauvage, D'Hermes, and The Scent but I like them all, Gio is probably the I dislike the most because it reacts really strong to my skin for some reason and even one spray is overpowering.

I think my collection just leans a bit too towards "fresh citrus" but don't really know what else to try.

Hi, glad you liked it! It's one of my favs, too. BdP and Lalique Pour Homme (the one with lion on the bottle) are similar - to the extent that it's probably to own all three. NYI is also the best one of the three by a mile. You seem to enjoy woody- spicy fragrances as I do. Similar stuff that I love: Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Man (it's more woody-forest-like), Geo F Trumper Sandalwood (Chanel Egoiste or Heritage if you want something darker), PdE Azemour Les Orangers (more mossy-orangy).

I'll be honest here, my own opinion and all.
If Sauvage wasn't the nuclear powerhouse of ambroxan and laundry musk, if it smelled as "toned down" as it did on the drydown and projected roughly arms length at best, I'd own it and wear it myself.

ombre leather and fahrenheit are quite far away from one another. When you smell fahrenheit in the first hour or so, you don't think leather, unlike ombre which is pure leather, especially in the first blast. then the sweetness comes in and overpowers the leather. one of the longest lasting I've sprayed on skin. don't own it yet, looking for the 30 ml size.


Fahrenheit is also on the list, once you get past say 10 fragrances, you need a classic that you enjoy the smell of, even though the people's reactions might not be the best. Fahrenheit is one of the most recognizable fragrances. I enjoy the smell, would wear it for myself.

Got the Route de la Soie set in this morning:

Byzance is pretty interesting. Very soft and milky but has a savoury aspect, kinda smells like some kind of foreign ice cream. I wouldn't wear this but I'd like to smell it on someone.

Xanthia reminds me of Ambre Fetiche. Opening is juicy and pretty snice but has dried down into the same dusty amber as Ambre Fetiche which I'm not really interested in.

I've only sprayed most of these on card but everything seems to be quite reserved and polite. I might forget about these for a couple of weeks and come back to them when my palette is cleansed of Claudes platinum bangers

Any oudbro here? I can totally swim in a sea of Oud. Here's my current lineup:

- LV Ombre Nomade
- Initio Oud for Greatness
- Diptyque Oud Palao
- Amouage Jubilation XXV, Epic, Interlude
- YSL M7 Oud Absolu
- Penhaligons Halfeti
- Guerlain Oud Essentiel
- Byredo Oud Immortel

All mentioned are decants I got from a reputable frag forum (5-10ml) because I get bored with a certain smell from time to time.

Currently I'm thinking about getting Guerlain Rose Nacree du Desert, and apparently there's one Mugler Mirroix de Sensuel (if I'm not mistaken) that's the queen of rose oud.

One hit or miss oud I actually love (and I think I would enjoy a full flacon) is Armani/Prive Royal Oud, and the king of all ouds, Frederic Malle Al-layl (The Night) if not for the price.

Btw my daily driver is Tom Ford's Ombre Leather, gets compliment every time I wear it.

Hmmm I don't know man. My reference to what real quality killer oud is FM The Night, and any Kilian ouds.

I can tell you that Ombre Nomade has got oud in it, Oud Palao *claims* there's real oud in it, Initio's initial note has oud, but drowned in sweet nutmeg. Others....hmm maybe oud accords

Amouage is killer too. Sometimes too strong for me.

Oh wow I've never heard of that before. I'll check em out.

Yea generally the ones with the heaviest price tag has real oud in it. But like I said when the % of oud is high...... chances are you could be smelling literally like shit. I've had that before while trying out Armani/Prive Royal Oud, a woman walked up to me and asked me to take a shower. Later on I learned not to overspray ouds.

But what I also discovered (while trying on FM's The Night) is that the opening could shock you initially -- strong animalic notes, barnyard fecal smell, but let it settle for half an hour and it'll be fine.

Interesting one. It smells like milk and osmanthus with its apricoty-floral-sour facets. A bit reminiscent of Auphorie Miyako to my nose because of that. Feminine leaning.
>Indus
Sweet fruity rose. Probably the worst OJ I ever tried. It's not bad but rather unremarkable. Very feminine. It's also a pity that both of these seemingly broke from the classic OJ DNA. I smelled 10+ OJ fragrances before the new line and you could tell by smelling them blindly that they were Ormonde Janes. Now these two could be anything. Hopefully other 5 will be different.

Testing Xandria. Weird, it's really close Xerjoff Alexandria II but with the OJ DNA. The best one of these three I tried but I think I prefer Alex II to it. What is weird about it is that if Ormonde Jayne was not a top quality nichehouse I would think that it is just some attempt at cloning Xerjoff. Even the naming Xandria/Alexabdria is surprising coincidence but perhaps I don't understand the context and they refer to some smell that was very characteristic to the region thousands years ago.

Thanks, I get the thick/dark element but I’m still not too familiar with aldehydes outside of a couple of fragrances.

I narrowed my everyday choices down to

Armani profumo
chanel bleu
Allhure homme sport eau extreme

Which one would be a good fit for a heavyweight amateur boxer?

Black knight is my favorite . The scent just encapsulates you throughout the day and transforms on every whiff. Sometimes I get a heavy cloudy leather then on the next sniff I get a sweet rose . One spray will last you the entire day.

Thanks, I love your collection and Laphroaig. I’m in awe of Black Knight. I sprayed more this time than previously and it’s so big, but somehow elegant with it. A gentle giant of a fragrance.

my grandfather is in hospice care from his cancer and will be gone in the next few days. he would have been 93 at the end of this year. he has an old bottle of D&G Masculine in his medicine cabinet that he used very seldom and lasted him for years. It's nearly empty. when i told him it was worth a lot now he laughed and said "really? take it." if my grandmother doesn't want to keep it for herself i'm going to take it and put it on my shelf with the rest of my fragrances forever. spend as much time as you can with your grandparents guys. whether or not they have a terminal illness. he was lucky to live a long life but i will always wish it was longer

I’ve been able to talk to him on the phone a few times, but I can’t see him in person. Currently, they only allow him to have a list of 5 visitors and those are his 3 sons, his daughter, and my mom. I guess it’s not quite as bad for us because he was diagnosed 5 years ago and at the time, they gave him 6 months to a year, so we’ve had way longer with him than anyone thought and we’ve all had a lot of time to prepare for this, but it’s still tough. He’s a good guy and he was very good to my mom. He doesn’t deserve to go out like this. I feel awful for my mom, too. They were together over 25 years, they were the loves of each other’s lives. It’s going to be really hard on her. Probably won’t be able to have a funeral either.

Testing Tanger. The neroli one. I don't know what is about neroli+amber accord but it reminds me of breath of an old lady. The same shit was true for MFK APOM albeit Tanger is way more pleasant than APOM.

[Anonymous No.15695453]

>>15694959
Not him but I also disliked the fruity accord in Cedrat Boise. It reminded me of these multivitamin drinks we have in Europe. However, the drydown was great and performance colossal. That being said I didn't like Aventus neither, I just don't get along with the modern fruity chypre DNA started by Aventus I guess.

>a heavyweight amateur boxer
Yoo, another (varsity) heavyweight amateur boxer here. How many bouts you got under your belt and who are you boxing for and what country? Uni, local club? I know that it probably won't help you as I'm deep into niche but my favs are Nicolai NYI, XJ Mefisto Gentiluomo, Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Man, Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum 2017, Geo F Trumper Sandalwood. I love smelling good. Out of those three you listed I would probably go for Allure tbf

I quite liked Tanger, probably my favourite so far. Is this set representative of OJ would you say? Because if so I’m cool on the brand.

I got my sample set yesterday, only tried Tanger but it's honestly so good. I love orange frags but this one is different from most I've tried. It's a very thick, full-bodied orange, a bit of spices, lots of amber. Would consider buying. Excited to try out the rest!

I only tried 4 so can't speak for the whole set but every of those 4 seemed like an entirely different story.

Overall I'm pretty disappointed with the new line but maybe I had unrealistic expectations given that almost every other OJ I tried before was at least 9/10.

95% of these is crap. Go first smell some in a department shop. Out all of those Gentleman Givenchy (if it's Eau de Parfum version), Bulgari Aqua, L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme are fine. The first one is great for cold weather, the other two for warm weather.

Pretty much this. I'd add Ferragamo Acqua Essenziale Colonia to that, it's stupid cheap and is a really nice, classic Acqua di Parma-esque scent that is fantastic in hot weather.
