The promotion on the Nicolai website came just in time as my bottle of NYI is almost finished and I had Bois Bélize Intense on my radar for a long time. I also bought Nicolai candles for my gf birthday. Feels snice to get also a soap on top of the free NYI bottle with my order.

It's such a snice scent. Have you tried BeauFort London Fathom V?

[Anonymous No.15700222]

Terra Mia, Keronese Follow, Piotr Czarnecki Shihan, Muglers and Killians all smell not like freshly ground coffee but some faggy sweet spicy lattes with a big dose of flavored syrup added to it. Do you know any scent that would really smell like coffee not this weird mix of vanilla, tonka bean and some faint coffee aroma? The closest smell to real coffee was an attar Mukhallat Corleone by Abdul Karim Al Faransi but the citruses there ruined it for me. Do your thing /frag/ and recommend me some *real* coffee scent.

It really depends. I personally just feel weird with over 10 bottles as I hate hoarding and to be fair 10 full bottles + samples/decants are enough to cover all seasons/occasions. Just be sure that you really can afford them. At the end of the day there are so many more important things in life than fragrances.

>Clare-I have smelled many different extracts of coffee including CO2 extracts. I have never smelled anything remotely as good as the smell of freshly ground beans. The extracts most often smell of coffee that you drink, or the smell of the grounds after coffee has been made. There is something elusive that always gets away.

There’s no such thing. If you’re doing well financially, fragrances give you great pleasure, you understand they’re a luxury and don’t feel you’re buying them out of compulsion there’s no problem. I stopped buying full bottles when I had around 30 and now spend my money on sampling.

People spend far more on cigarettes and things than I do on fragrances so why can’t I enjoy myself?

As long as it’s not causing any problems in your life, you do you. Even 1 or 2 bottles can be too much if you’re poor and are in danger of not being able to pay rent. If you’re a millionaire or something who won’t even feel a few hundred bucks coming out of your bank account, no real reason not to have a huge collection if you enjoy it.

Basically, it’s like all things: as long as it’s not negatively affecting your life, it’s not a problem.

How heavy is this on sandalwood? I adore the smell of sandalwood in things like shaving cream, but would this be a perfume equivalent or is it more well-rounded with other notes? I don’t blind buy fragrances, but this seems to be regarded as one of the best sandalwoods around, especially for the price.

[Anonymous No.15700562]

>>15700550
It's quite heavy on sandalwood but it's not a sandalwood soliflore so to speak. I'd say that sandalwood, vanilla, lemon and spices are the most prominent notes in this order and the rest of the notes (that I can't really distinguish properly but I reckon there is leather, patch and some flowers there) form a darker-floral counterpart balancing it out. You can notice all these notes including sandalwood if you know what are you looking for while smelling it but otherwise it's quite abstract and blended very smoothly.

[Anonymous No.15700583]

>>15700562
Thanks. I might try and sample it then, it sounds more complex than I expected. I was thinking that maybe it’s just pure sandalwood and it would be a good one for a dumb reach when I just want to smell of “something”.

[Anonymous No.15700593]

>>15700583
Do you like Chanel Egoiste? This is a good point of reference for Trumper's Sandalwood. It's like implementing the same platonic idea of a spicy-woody fragrance with zesty lemon top in two different ways. Dandy, heavier and spicier French one (Egoiste) and simpler, more airy, British way (Sandalwood). They're not identical (nor very similar) but liking one is a good litmus paper test for liking the other.
However, for sure I can tell you that it's not just pure sandalwood.

Don't buy a decant of any MFK. Go on their official website and get the official sample pack of 4x2ml samoles for like $12 delivered. You might happen to hate it like I did, so any more than 2ml would be wasted money. Pricewise it also most likely beats your decant source. You can always get a decant or a bottle if you end up liking it.

That's shitload of ingredients weightwise. Couldn't you order like 1ml of stuff? On the other hand I don't think you will get anything good only out of these ingredients. Typically there are 50+ ingredients going into a fragrance with 5-10 notes. I mean don't get discouraged, it's a really gratifying thing to do but download at least the book of Dussauce "A practical guide for the perfumer" which contains numerous receipts of antique perfumery to reproduce with essential oils easily found online or in herbal shops.

But if you’re spending hours reading articles, watching videos, chatting with other people on message boards about frags, going to stores to sample ones you’re interested in, ordering sample kits, learning about different notes and accords, learning about the science of perfumery, etc... then yeah, that’s a hobby.

Coomers just looking for panty dropper juice aren’t hobbyists. The people who post here regularly are. And yeah, the notion that we’re all autists sitting in a dark basement huffing Civet oil or some shit is obviously fallacious.

If it can be citrusy oriental then Memo Winter Palace, 4160 Tuesdays Freeway are fucking great (the latter has tobacco but it's done in absolutely brilliant summery way).
Otherwise you know it's hard to find a summery fragrance in general if you don't want citruses or aquatic notes. Probably you can go into white florals or some abstract aldehydic way (e.g. Craft by Andrea Maack). For the first one try Sir Gallahad Isabey that's the most beautiful gardenia 100% masculine fragrance that I know. It's very sensual and apt for date nights. It has an oriental undertones thanks to gorgeous ambery-tobacco accord. Very gentlemany stuff that I'm considering wearing for my wedding in future.

Instead he decided to make content trying to be somewhat knowledgeable while in reality he doesn't know shit and should admitted that he bought all of Fragrance du Bois fragrances because they're blingy and tacky. Quite a disappointment given that he otherwise seems to be an unpretentious and cool guy about his wealth. Also kek how much he shits in his pants because of corona. Made the cameraguy do a test and then put him into a rubber overall and a mask despite a negative result.

Also conflicted about a new fragrance. My two picks are Jaipur Homme by Boucheron and Chypre Palatin by MDCI
When it comes to wearing them, should i wear the cologne on days I don't wear the perfume and vice versa? Because I don't want them to get conflicting and overwhelm the air around me. Do cigarettes really stomp on the smell or does it just tone it down a little?

Yeah, Sandalwood is a good choice if you like lemon and woody notes but there is also lots of spices to it. However it lasts way, way longer than cologne (4-6h on my sking). If you want a new zesty cologne try one of the classic Guerlains. Eau de Guerlain and Cologne Imperiale are one of the best colognes in existence and completely gone after 30-60m (Eau de Guerlain lasts a bit longer), so you don't have to worry about conflicting scents. If you want some more unique cologne try the pic related from Bravanariz. It's made all from natural ingredients and you will smell like a pine forest. Beautiful Eau de Cologne.

As for perfumes I'm still conflicted about picking in between Jaipur Homme and Chypre Palatin. Both have fragrantica descriptors that wouldn't be in conflict with the cologne. I don't really know much about perfumes, I've been using Bleu de Chanel for years but feel it's time for a change

I need a cheap sophisticated smelling fragrance to wear at work in a restaurant for the colder months.
Any recs? I'm using Bright Neroli when it is warm and have used Prada L'Homme last year when it was colder but I feel like I am wasting money by not wearing the cheapest stuff at my workplace.

Have been eyeing Lalique White, Burberry Touch, Lagerfeld Bois de Vetiver, thoughts?

My samples came in, I sprayed DS&Durga Bowmakers and am positively surprised. It smells like I wanted Olympic Orchids Woodcut to smell like. Quite realistic woods (I reckon Woodcut is better quality though) to the extent that you smell like a furniture shop without any additions (I disliked the caramel note taking over Woodcut). Quite snice stuff. Is it worth price? No, like most of DS Durgas. I got 3 free samples including their Amber Teutonic, so looking forward to test it. Another free sample was Belle Bete Les Liquides Imaginaires that hastily let my girlfriend spray herself with because of my poor french thinking it means 'soft beauty'. Whereas it's the most disgusting animalic fragrance I ever tried (and I am quite fond of Kouros and tried things like Musc Koublai Khan). It literally smells like some unwashed nerd with greasy hair on public transport till you don't take big enough sniff and get something more 'perfumey' going underneath. I told her to take a shower already lol.

I've seen bowmakers come up in EU discounters occasionally around 90 euros, which I think is good value. Not dissimilar to TF Oud Wood. Would be a great signature. Please report back when you smell Amber Teutonic, I really like that one.

Received my Olympic Orchids samples funnily enough. When I started lurking these threads Batposting was the order of the day and I obviously had no idea what the fuss was about. Fuck me Bat/Nightflyer is gorgeous. Really does smell like a damp cave.

Try Xerjoff Alexandria II man. They are clearly playing in the very same genre but XJ is imo better. You can get an official sample set from XJ website for more or less the price of the OJ sample set you bought. Any other favorites among new OJs? I frankly liked some but nothing blew me out of water.

Re: masculine roses.
You probably should try some classic Oud+Rose combos: I'd suggest Oud Palao and Montale Black Aoud to start with. Then try Malle's POAL - it doesn't have Oud but the dark patchouli there is really convincing. Floris No 89 is completely different - british, gentlemany fresh rose. The new Amouage Crimson Rock is also a solid soft rose for men who are afraid of rose. It's served with honeyed woods and spices that wrap you in a warm cozy blanket.

Are there any female/unisex perfumes that smell like a misty, damp pine forrest? It may be too specific but I am in a mood for that.

Cape Heartache kind of fits that bill but has a sweet strawberry note that dominates a little too much for my taste.

Dsquared Rocky Mountain is pleasant and pretty affordable. However, I would call it and any damp forest scent masculine.

[Anonymous No.15706538]

Could try The Vagabond Prince’s Enchanted Forest. Very strange, interesting scent, maybe not exactly what you want but sort of fits the vibe. It’s inspired by Slavic folklore, it’s supposed to smell like riding a sleigh through an icy Russian forest in winter. Very cold smelling, lots of coniferous notes, but layered on top of that is a sharp black current and sweet berries and red wine. Very cool stuff, very high quality, and I’d call it quite unisex.

[Anonymous No.15706544]

>>15706502
Best damp pine forest scents are Slumberhouse’s Grev and Norne, but both are very difficult to get and both lean more masculine in my opinion. I guess a lady could maybe pull them off, especially Norne, but they’re not what I’d call feminine.

I sprayed it after the shower. It's a very pleasant balsamic fragrance with velvety, almost creamy, vanillic woods and spices with a lot of brightness to it. I can imagine some people loving how soft it is for me it feels almost subdued and frankly, two-dimensional. Chypre Palatin and Ambra Aurea still stay my favorite amber-centric frags to date.

Yup. Anyone who asks. Why be so insecure as to hide things about yourself? I don’t give a fuck, I like what I like. Honestly, I’ve never had anyone say anything negative about my interest in frags, and very seldom had any issues with anything I do/like. People really don’t care about you or what you do as much as you probably think they do.
