the scent already has connotations, that's something some of you fail to understand. yes, Fahrenheit is hard to pull off by someone young, not because of the smell, but the associations people make when they smell it. It's a 90s classic that some people already associate with an image. wear it if you like it, I would wear anything I like but it doesn't change the fact that some fragrances are more appropriate to certain ages.

>>15808582
Fahrenheit in the 90s at least here in Europe was a scent extremely popular amongst teenagers and young adults.
I get that some people think some scents have "old man" associations (like old Guerlains and EdCs) but Fahrenheit is definitely not old enough for people to think that in my opinion.

And what I mean is just that if you have a scent that fits you and your style / energy, no one will bat an eye or think that you wear a perfume that smells "too mature" or whatever.

Tank Battle. Had to order some stuff from Lush, chucked a bottle in my cart on a whim because I’d heard good things. Very interesting stuff. Definitely bubblegum-y, but it’s actually supposed to be and smells high quality. Also a lot of earthy, metallic sort of notes. I honestly couldn’t tell you much about what’s in this stuff. Like nothing I’ve ever smelled before, but I like it.

My advise is to quid youtube. All big popular accounts are paid promotion marketing ploy. They have financial initiative to shill you some fragrances. Their opinions are worth less than Sales Assistant's in a shopping mall. They at least will show you bestsellers from all brands they got there not a few that paid for the promo

That being said sampling about 10 most popular mall-tier designer scents is the step 0 imo. You should be able to get them quite cheap on ebay. After finishing them go here to look a bit beyond the bestsellers that everyone gets shoved in their faces before Christmas >>15808457 these are often more unique and quality scents.

Versace Pour Homme would be my choice from that list. Immense in the summer, and the tonka in the base helps it last a little longer, and doesn’t feel out of place in the colder months. None of them are perfect for the whole year, but I think that one is a good choice. I find the rest a little less versatile.

Oh, sorry, I misread.

VPH - Summer (especially high heat)

ADG Profumo - This also works well in the summer, but only only cooler summer nights. I think this can work all year and it has good longevity. I favour it in the spring generally.

D&G The One is good for cooler weather and a classic “date” fragrance. However, longevity is poor. I feel like CH Men Prive may be one to try if you can get it as well for that kind of thing if you’re interested in future.

Luna Rossa Carbon is pretty good all around, absolutely not to my tastes, but it’s a good alternative to things like Sauvage.

La Nuit de L’Homme is an incredible scent and the only reason I don’t recommend it over The One is it doesn’t last long at all. YSL L’Homme is very pleasant, but again doesn’t last and doesn’t really do anything remarkable. Versace Eau Fraiche is really nice, but I prefer VPH. Eau Fraiche is much lighter and more “sparkly” but I don’t find it as interesting as VPH. 360 Red is fine, nothing wrong with it, nothing noteworthy either. Legend Spirit and Encre Noire sport I haven’t tried. Spicebomb is perfectly fine, but nothing special. Light Blue Intense is good but I find it a bit too sweet.

I forgot to say, Luna Rossa is the clubbing one. So VPH high heat, ADG Profumo can work in the summer but works well in the cold too, The One for dates, LRC for clubbing. Just to clarify it all.

You guys have any opinions on Azzaro PH vs. Aramis Tuscany? I've seen many reviews mention that they're nearly identical to one another. While I've never smelled APH, I have a 100ml bottle of Tuscany and it's really grown on me over time after initially dismissing it as a horrible dry, musty lemon. I've worn it every day for the past week, and it's now my go-to after shower scent (longevity is pretty fucking terrible though). APH has been shilled to me as one of the greatest men's fragrances of all time, so I wanted to hear what you guys had to say on the matter. I have a feeling I'm gonna burn through this bottle and end up blind-buying one of those fat 200ml APH bottles if I'm not careful.

[Anonymous No.15811518]

This is a bit of a longshot, but anyone know any frags that smell similar to Lush’s Blue Skies bubble bars? They’ve basically got this earthy, woody, spicy scent, it lists the main “notes” as patchouli, cinnamon, and frankincense. They’re not sweet, though, very earthy and spicy, very relaxing and meditative. Very zen sort of scent.

I’ve tried a ton of frags with similar-ish profiles, but nothing quite gets it. There’s always some sweetness, or some vanilla, or some citrus or something else that takes it away from where I want it to be. I just really wish I could find a frag that smells like this, because those bars are legitimately really good, and even Lush doesn’t seem to have anything else comparable.

[Anonymous No.15811526]

I guess sort of, but Snicebomb is candy sweet with a lot of big spices, particularly cinnamon. Tuxedo is much more smooth and restrained, with the spices being much less loud, and it has that nice smooth patchouli. I mean, it’s like comparing a nice whiskey to a bottle of Fireball. I guess they’re sort of similar-ish in that they’re both whiskey, but I doubt too many people would say they taste the same.

>Are you familiar with many from those houses? The main reasons I want to try Profumum Roma are Acqua Di Sale and Ambre Aurea, but they seem like they do some interesting scents.
Yes, these are two of my favorites and I've tested plenty of their frags over the last few years since I've discovered the house. I own Acqua di Sale and gonna cop Ambra Aurea next year. I still got around 3ml left in my decant so it's not feasible to buy it now.
>Profumum Roma Patchouly
I like dark stuff but it's just too much for me. This brings the darkest, most earthy and complex aspects of patchouli that one typically knows only from its sweet (often complementing rose) facets. Probably the second most gothic Profumum Roma after Arso. 8/10
>Profumum Roma Orangea
Absolutely stunning green, citrusy fragrance. Very poor performance for Profumum Roma though but it's to be expected given that it's made of natural ingredients and citrus are fond of being very short lasting. 8/10
>Profumum Roma Ichnusa
This is the fig winner of today. Imagine the zesty greenness of Xerjoff Nio mixed with figs taken from Diptyque's Philosykos but both with more natural ingredients and better blended. You'll end up with Ichnusa. There's also some herbal-green dustiness to it coming perhaps from hay. I copped a roll-on. 10/10
>Profumum Roma Audace
Nice smooth vetiver, 7/10
>Profumum Roma Antico Caruso
Soft sillage, but I definitely could get wafts after 9h. Quite nice and smooth but not particularly remarkable 6/10
>Profumum Roma Dulcis in Fundo
Performance is ridiculous. Both of my Uber drivers on the night I was testing it had to open windows despite wearing 2 sprays (and every full spray makes me choke on the moment of applications). It's so concentrated it also leaves trails on shirts. Very creamy, feminine drydown, 8/10

[Anonymous No.15811542]

>>15811538
>Profumum Roma Acqua e Zucchero
More masculine and interesting than Dulcis in Fundo thanks to forest fruits. Not as creamy drydown as Dulcis in Fundo but as good vanilla-wise. 9/10
>Profumum Roma Dambrosia
It's alright fruity salad. Profumum accurately puts classical pictures of cornucopia on their marketing materials for Dambrosia. Heavy on figs but a bit too baroque-ish. There's too much happening here and I'm actually surprised that it's a Profumum Roma's fragrance. They're typically very minimalist with their means of expressions and you can't count more than 4 ingredients in their note breakdowns. 7/10
>Profumum Roma Arso
Imagine a pine forest that got burned down entirely. That's the smell day after. Austere smokey woody scent. Absolutely amazing stuff. 9/10
>Profumum Roma Acqua di Sale
The most realistic sea smell I've tried (and I tested many aquatics). You don't get here simply the salted water smell. You get it together with seaweed (with some camphor quality that some people don't like) and all of other nuances. The performance, like with most of PRs, is amazing. I get easily 8h+ of projection. 10/10
>Profumum Roma Acqua Viva
I remember testing it in Jovoy, Mayfair, Their official notes breakdown was:
>head: lemon
>heart: lemon
>base: lemon
and they were not wrong because it is basically a lemon soliflore. Imagine taking the most juicy lemon freshly out of a tree during a long summer somewhere at Amalfi coast in Italy and then scratching its skin with your nail. That's how Acqua Viva smells like. However, the more you smell the more slight nuances your nose pick up. There are definitely some woody and green undertones to it. Sadly, just like with Orangea the performance is moderate. 9/10

[Anonymous No.15811547]

>>15811542
>Profumum Roma Ambra Aurea
When I got it, I was expecting an animalic monstrous ambegris bomb that will not be wearable based on what people were saying about it but to my nose it's quite different than that. What I get for the first 30minutes is actually ambery leather (ambery as in amber not ambegris). It's really snice and balanced, not reeking at all. I can also get incense, that together with amber gives it a bit of sweet edge, and some smooth labdanum with its more powdery facets. At this stage it reminds me a lot of Tauer Lonestar Memories and I was actually surprised how much its note breakdown is more accurate to what I get than Ambra Aurea's one on fragratica. That being said I think it's way better than Tauer and having certain edge making it stand out unlike Lonestar Memories that in my opinion is quite an unremarkable leather thingy. After 30 minutes I can start getting some saltiness which is the first omen of Ambra Aurea turning into an ambegris fragrance that I expected it to be. Vanilla-like sweetness comes out soon after and it starts reminding Ambre Lumiere a bit. After the first hour my mind is bouncing back and forth between amber and ambegris and I think that Ambra Aurea is actually a mix of both. Overall it's the best amber fragrance I've tried. 10/10
>Profumum Roma Olibanum
Breathtaking fresh (!) incense. 9/10
>Profumum Roma Fumidus
It goes without saying that Profumum Roma mastered smoky fragrances in all incarnations. Here you get a realistic smoky, peaty single malt whisky. 8/10
>Profumum Roma Sorriso
Profumum Roma's vanilla as known from Dulcis in Fundo meets chocolate and they have a child. Probs the best chocolate fragrance I put my nose on but it leans feminine. 8/10

I’ll look up Sel de Vetiver, thanks.

I don’t like Bulgari Black as it has this really annoying central „house note“ in the middle.

Kouros is actually a great clubbing frag as it works well with sweat. Absolutely a summer rec for me though as I don’t like the way it plays out in colder weather or in more humid environments.
Fahrenheit works in al of these circumstances, use it as a date fragrance over black

When and where is it appropriate to wear this? I have a warped perspective of Drakkar Noir because it's a BIG nostalgia frag for me; I wore it every day back in high school 10 years ago.

Antonio fag is the worst fashion/style youtuber out there. Like most "style" youtubers, he sticks to very safe, conventional styles, but he even takes it further. At least most others occasionally try to add some different colours or accessories to their looks. RMRS just puts on the most boring, inoffensive outfits to blend in at your kid's soccer practice.

BdJ is a masterpiece “nu-gere,” APH is a reformulated classic.
I personally do not see that APH=RGPH=BdJ. For starters, TF Fougere d’Argent is much closer to RGPH than BdJ. The latter is also a very good and I do not find it redundant. Although they are similar, BdJ and FdA, they are similar like two different song of the same performer with a distinctive style. You should try BdJ and FdA for sure.
As for the current version of APH, it is spicier than any of them, that gentleman >>15811392 is right.
