[Anonymous No.17451644]

>>17451597
I don't find Zino and Beau de Jour that similar at all. Beau de Jour is definitely in my top 3 frags but Zino is too old school and dense for my taste. Has a lot more notes too. Of course, both Zino and EN Sport are inexpensive, so you could just try them.

EN Sport is the weakest in the EN line imo, I would say stick with the original.

[Anonymous No.17451670]

>>17451662
>Versace pour Homme
The scent is 10/10 for what it is but the longevity is non existant. After 2h it's completely gone so even at a heavy discount it's still wasting money

I bought a tester of Versace Pour Homme 100ml for $30 and I still feel I got ripped off. The performance is utter crap unfortunately. If you can apply it every hour, you're good to go.

>>17451676
Interesting, I've noticed through online reviews that other users' experience with longevity have been very mixed, the reason why I was looking at Versace in particular was because I've had great longevity with Eros Flame so I figured I might get the same experience with another of their fragrance

So I've spent about $200 on decants of popular niche fragrances and i've been disappointed by almost all of them now. PDMand Rojas are way overrated and people are obviously getting paid to promote these

[Anonymous No.17451852]

>>17451662
Versace pour Homme is very similar to Chanel allure homme sport. The dry down is a bit different, but they're basically the same fragrance to a passerby. VPH is a great summer fragrance.

I don't like dylan blue. It has a very synthetic odor. I think you have to be black to enjoy this because every white person I know thinks it's nasty, but black men and women love it.

I got a sample of EN and I really loved it. So of course I decided to buy EN sport and I am not that big of a fan. It loses too much of the damp woody sewers smell and it doesn't last that long (I only tried winter so far).

I agree with this anon.

[Anonymous No.17452023]

Got this blind after reading all the reviews saying it's a near 100% clone of ombre leather (which I own but wanted something I could use more liberally for everyday wear). Has an immediate harsh chemical opening although it's not although entirely dissimilar to TF after the drydown. m However my wife immediately recoiled in disgust upon smelling it and felt sick for the remainder of the day. Avoid.

So I decided it's high time I start smelling like something else besides deoderant as a grown ass adult, been a /fit/izen for a while now and since I'm in better shape I want to try and improve my everyday presence through scent as well. I ordered samples from lucky and other sites and kind of spit balled a bunch of scents to try out and see if I like.

I feel like it's a good spread into relevant scents that struck me as interesting and since samples are so cheap I just went for a full send order to try out. I don't have a perfume store or anything near me so I can't just try them out that way. Did I buy any memes??

Of course it is. Bulgari Black is discontinued, but you can just skip that for some of the other ones after that. This has all the interesting fragrance styles as starters and some of their best iterations.

If you don't want to go by some flowchart, just test Dior, Chanel, Guerlain stuff. They have something for everyone and make high quality frags.

Versace pour homme is my most complimented frag. Girls love it because it's the standard blue that is associated with "good smelling men". That being said it's a classic for a reason. The small floral note is a nice touch for summer and the frag is very airy.

>>17451877
everyone is jizzing their pants about this one on youtube. Would you say it's redundant to own is I own versace pour homme?

[Anonymous No.17452239]

>>17452181
yeah, agree. Among the designer houses, Chanel and Dior are the highest quality, Prada and YSL slightly lower quality, and Versace the worst.

If you're after a blue fragrance, BdC is the most refined, Sauvage a little more in your face. If you can't afford those, Prada Luna Rossa Carbon is a pretty good imitation of Sauvage and can be had a little cheaper. Luna Rossa Ocean takes it in a different direction but is also fine. YSL Y is a bit controversial but the EdP is fine if you are young, the Parfum tones it down for a little more maturity.

Dylan Blue is more affordable than any of the above, that's the only thing it has going for it IMO.

Um, it wouldn't happen to be Manchester NH would it? Because it's exactly the same where I live. 40 minutes to bath and body works at the Tilton outlets and some outlet stores that probably don't have samples beyond a tester bottle in store, or an hour to Manchester which has Macy's and some other shit in the mall, and also a lot of homeless and junkies hanging around, although probably not in the mall. There was a mall in Concord but now it's like a charter school and gym and all the stores are closed except JC Penney which has like one employee working the whole store.

So yeah I just order samples and decants online and pay $2-8 for each and do research hoping I'll like them first.

[Anonymous No.17452864]

I really don't get the anti-sample guy's point. I mostly test in stores too, but some frags are very hard to find in stores
not to mention, samples let you try the frag out in peace, spray it on whenever you want etc. not the same experience as trying it on at a store at all
and finally, you are getting a tiny bottle of a frag that you can even take with you on some trip or show to a friend. how is that not worth 2$ or whatever?

Drive or get public transport to some mall or department store to autistically sniff dozens of fragrances in one sitting, or spend a few dollars to have them delivered to your home to test them at your leisure over a longer period and actually being about to wear them over the course of a day.

Yes, there's stuff I loved but I'm glad I got hours to try out first because I realized it's just not something I would personally want to wear, just not my style even if it's really good.
I tried BR540 regular and extrait version that way, with decants, because they're so popular I wanted to see what the hype was about. Yeah it smells nice but it's not for me, not even a clone.

It's been a while since I paid attention to the latest keyboards but I mostly use a Qisan Magicforce 68 with Outemu black switches. Most people don't like outemu switches because they're cheap and feel a little scratchy but that slight scratchiness doesn't bother me. Liked it enough to buy another for work which is now my spare since I work from home.
It's not the fanciest, heaviest or best sounding keyboard but I like the size of it and I put these keycaps on it - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0972BTZBW - which I really like the feel of.

they're a fair bit different. grey vetiver is more balanced and tame, soapy and soft with a lot of citrus.

>The water slips over him as if sliding down a marble rock, sinking into the grooves of his muscles, vanishing into his pores. This is fresh, pure water, with top notes of aldehydes and lemon, a water that washes away the sins of the night and leaves the skin luminous. Tom of Finland feels clean, like a shaving from a cake of soap. It is an ode to the beauty of the male body and to the radiance of the natural self. For this man, clothing becomes a jewel-case that serves to reveal the true erotic power of the flesh. Tom of Finland is a breath of fresh air, offering unrestricted access to the immense outdoors, the depths of the forest, with notes of birch leaves, cypress, galbanum and pine at its heart. Straight, gay... these words are irrelevant here. Tom of Finland is beyond sexuality – he is sex, in all its fullness and magnitude, open and erect. Fantasy clings to him like his leather jacket, with suede, musk, and gray amber in the base notes. His belt is fastened with an accord of pepper and spicy-fresh saffron, tangled with a blond suede sensuality on a vanilla bed of tonka bean and iris. This is a man who wants to play, to love, to die and be reborn, again and again. Tom of Finland is a tribute to tomorrow’s glorious possibilities.

You really should try LHI on yourself, it does change quite a bit through its lifetime, and that's how I discovered I loved it. The EdP is sweeter, but I find also more unidimensional. Might as well try the Intense if you're into fruity stuff. They've all got their merits.

[Anonymous No.17454258]

>>17453947
Have you tried Eau de Baux? If yes, is that one still too sweet?

>>17454036
Vetiver-forward fragrances are dead boring to me as well.
If you had the L'Homme Ideal EdT, you could test some of the flankers, but in all honesty they are rather powdery and sweet gourmands and if the OG didn't interest you, don't bother.
With L'Instant, you would mostly be looking at the EdP as well, assuming you tested the EdT. It skips most of the citrus and delivers an even spicier patchouli-vanilla blast. This is what Layton would smell like if PdM wasn't just a clone house releasing overpriced frag revivals.
Heritage is based, both as the EdT and EdP.

Don't wanna shill but I've gotten a dupe of oud wood from an imitation brand. It's very good and quite similar, others are hit or miss. But it's 1/5 the price so whatever

There is no question that Bleu de Chanel Parfum is the best fragrance of all time. Its unique and sophisticated scent is unrivaled, with a woody and aromatic composition that combines notes of citrus, labdanum, and patchouli. This creates a bold and masculine scent that is both modern and timeless, making it the perfect choice for any occasion. The longevity of the fragrance is outstanding, ensuring that you'll smell great all day or night. And let's not forget about the packaging and branding, which is iconic and luxurious, making it a perfect choice for those who value style and substance.
