Well, that´s the thing.

I actually like it, and I'd describe it honestly different. It's a legitimately skanky Ted Lapidus-y fragrance as it opens up, drying down into a weird office safe mix of earth and flowers. Ending in a sweet woody muskiness.

Otherwordly might be a stretch, but it's out there frag-wise in its strange ability to be both crowd pleasing and crowd repulsing in the span of a few hours.

>Sundowner
the Tauer description is very fitting:
'Surrender to the darkness of the night with a boozy cocktail and a good dose of velvety smoky happiness with the last sun on your cheeks.'
for me it's main notes are boozy orange (Cointreau or something similar), smoke/tobacco and rose
actually quite similar to Vanilla Flash but a bit more complex
shares (some of) its DNA with LDDM and VF
longevity and sillage are as expected from a Tauer EDP
blind buy worthy if you like the official description

Most frags really arent that expensive if you think about the longevity of a 50ml bottle thats like 120 usd. Lasts like 7 months if you wear it 5 times a week on 2 sprays?

EDP is a combination of guaiak, mineral and some aquatic notes. I would say its the best out of those by far.
EDT intense uses similiar notes, but is less woody and mineral, however it adds a creamy fig note and "watermelon" notes, the latter of which end up smelling like dill.
EDT doesn't have the creamy fig, doesn't have the sandalwood, still has smells like dill, is a bit more aquatic than the intense.
As for marine I did not test it.

They are different, both are very clearly iris x leather, but the focal points change.

I wear vetiver essential oils occasionally. I don’t find Encre noire to be a vetiver dominant frag. Sure it’s there, but it’s not front and center like it is in Guerlain vetiver or gevinchy vetyver. And it’s not just Encre noire, tdh and guerlain homme leau claim to be vetiver frags but they’re just part of the composition. For a modern vetiver frag there’s Guerlain vetiver extreme, but the original is better imo.

I heard they have a good Aventus clone. I’d be interested in trying oriental Middle Eastern Fragrances but I’m worried that the quality won’t be so good given the low prices online, with the exception of Amouage. Especially UAE perfumes.

Creed is the only Anglo house that I generally like, but the new formulation of Aventus sucks ass. Nice scent, but it barely lasts.

the opening (at least on my skin) is quite different to LDDM
this is sweeter, the patchouli is more pronounced (actually quite similar to Nasomatto Absinth for me - this is a good thing imo), some smoke is also there and the spices (cumin, coriander) are toned down a bit
by the time it dries down it is almost the same as LDDM, maybe a bit sweeter (it has the same Tauer DNA as many of his other frags)
sillage and longevity as expected (used the 5ml bottle sparingly last night, the scent is still very much there today at 10:30)
hard to choose between the two frags (LDDM is a bit more versatile but ACDD is smoother and a bit less divisive i think), both of them are perfect

Are you getting paid to defend mid perfume or what.

[Anonymous No.17569753]

i have it on good authority that all the arab clone frags are ifra compliant. this is the reason why their clones usually fall short as well and that there are so few which actually mirror the original scent. there are multiple ways they are doing it in order to secure good margins:
first, if they get the scent right, they usually use lower concentrations. the reason for that is that a refined/balanced fragrance might use a lot of different materials at low concentrations already, which creates a more expensive mixture (simple economies of scale). in order not to smell weird but still have a good margin for a clone juice, they simply don't last unless you spray a lot.
second, if they aim to improve on performance, they increase the concentrations of the long-lasting ingredients. as a result, they change the scent and due to that they always smell a little "off".
third, in order to deceive the clients, they will use natural ingredients in ifra compliant amounts and then fill up with synthetics. dakar is a good example for this, which uses real oakmoss (while drakkar noir uses real treemoss) and then fills it up with evernyl. the problem with drakkar noir is that it never underwent a proper reformulation and simply got its ingredients lowered to ifra compliant amounts and now doesn't last anymore.
fourth, they claim high oil concentrations from time to time and then simply put actual oil in it. not the perfumed stuff, just oil. nice and shiny on your skin, looks like you got a good deal.
fifth and among the most common, they reduce notes. head notes are often just a suggestion to them and they skip them entirely. that saves on ingredients without destroying the base scent. these are usually the only useable clones, as you at least get the right impression of the original base with similar performance.

so far, the amount of good clones is so ridiculously low that you will only ever hear about those. the market is full of them, you never hear about those.

This stuff's not nearly as beastly as I was expecting based on reviews. Sure, it's got a stank to it, but too me it smells more oudy than animalic. What I get most though is a bright, piney blast from the elemi, and a spicy kick from the saffron. The so-called whisky accord gives it a touch of sweetness. It doesn't really smell like whiskey, but I get where they're coming from. It's really nice fragrance actually. Maybe my favorite Zoologist? Maybe tied with Squid.

Anyone else wear Fahrenheit every day or very often? If so, do you have a frag/frags you wear once or twice a week to keep things interesting? Basically I'm looking for an "alternative" to Fahrenheit that is not like Fahrenheit at all, but if I love Fahrenheit, I'll love this. I wear GIT sometimes but it feels like a special event, dress-up type scent. I also have Ralph Lauren Purple Label which I like but it feels like a date night scent. Versace Eros was gifted to me but while it's nice at first, I hate the drydown. Versace DB is decent albeit slightly syrupy and I associate it with a time in my life I'd like to get past. Aventus I was in love with for a few months but started to get tired of the whole thing, and having to spray 10 times every hour to smell it at all. Chanel Allure Homme Sport has a weird quality I can't quite put my finger on that I couldn't stand in the drydown, and it also reminded me of Aventus in that it smelled too much like an easily distinguishable smell (in this case, orange creamsicle). I tried AdG Profumo and I'm really leaning towards this type of scent... but something a little different, maybe less popular/common (minor issue though) but more importantly less of that "generic" / fragrance section of Macy's / the mall note I get out of it especially after the opening.

The amount of clones is ridiculously high which makes the low numbers become moderate numbers in relation to designer bottles that cost sometimes 8 times more.
That's all that matters, scent profile - economy - performance. Arabs do the latter two much better, the first one they manage to do more than halfway good so it checks.

Yeah, in cold weather aka stopped using it a couple of weeks ago.
>do you have a frag/frags you wear once or twice a week to keep things interesting?
Sometimes i use Tres Nuit or if i am going by night i use Narciso EDT.
>I wear GIT sometimes
I wear Cool Water/GIT clones for warm weather, we have the same tastes then as i also dislike Eros drydown although i love Allure Sport (too poor to get it). GIT feels special because you associate its price tag, it's even more casual than Fahrenheit.
>maybe less popular/common but more importantly less of that "generic"
In that regard you and me are different, i like my frags because i like how they smell, you are a hipster with homo tendencies who would've not used Fahrenheit nor GIT/Cool Water in their heyday because they were still very popular.
Kouros, 8 sprays.

>>17570821
>floral
Fahrenheit is a leafy citrus leather, not floral at all.
>>17571012
Eau de Issey changed drastically depending on batch, also it is extremely pleasant when the batch is good because it is a sweeter and more casual Platinum Egoiste. Last bottle i smelled had a cut grass smell that had gone really stale, like wet grass cut 3 days ago with some lemon grinds on it. Perhaps you had that bad luck, honestly such problems make it a risk, same with Aventus.
But make no mistake, it was and sometimes i guess still is a decent bottle made for nature appreciators. PE is better and back in the day Davidoff Good Life were superior tho.

[Anonymous No.17571184]

>>17571157
Violet flowers and violet leaves are not the same, those are two different notes you stupid burger-flipping nigger faggot.
The flower is powdery and somewhat sweet, a protagonist on its own while the leaf is very ozonic and usually a sidekick for another note.
That's why the flower is used for women, the leaf for men. Sometimes a fragrance can use both to give the impression of a humid, fresh garden. Fahrenheit is not such a thing, the violet is in absolute concentration and smells like gas but in the heart notes it settles down to give the impression of mandarin/citrus juice.

Violet leaf is not a flower, also the other notes serve to accentuate the main notes. If Fahrenheit smells like a chamomile perfume to you with some tiny minor notes of gasoline, big juicy fruits and leather then ok you are a bee, now what? ya like jazz?
Patchouli is not a flower either.

Just got a shipment of decants. $20 worth. Outta curiosity more more less:

>Kouros

I found Kouros to be magnificent, but I have issues seeing the horror fragrance aspect of it. The animalic notes were there, but they were masked heavily by the cleaner, semi-floral notes. I find myself wondering if the Vintage is different. Furyo and TL PH had it comparatively worse, if I had to judge (I love them all though).

>TL Altamir

The biggest surprise of the bunch. Magnificent longevity, and a great drydown. Like a fruity Kouros in an odd way (I had it on one arm, Kouros on the other). I am going to buy it to put it in reserve, at the very least.

>Azzaro PH

Good, but honestly kinda redundant given my collection. I'd buy it if I found it for $20 at a TJ Maxx or something.

>Caron Le3, the Third Man

Not at dark or mysterious as I expected it to be. It seems very much like a fall/spring kind of suit fragrance. Isn't making me run to buy it full price vintage, but I enjoy it.

>The Dreamer

Bought because I saw it on a box set in TJ Maxx and didn't want to commit. I enjoy it, but am kinda weirded out by it. It seems too bright for the cold, and possibly too cloying for the heat (I live in the armpit of America). A little too unisex leaning for my tastes.

>Caron Anarchiste

This just weirded me out. A cinnamony mix of notes that seems oddly compiled. Like the dreamer I don't know how I'd use it. Seems like something a '90s Bohemian type would wear.

>Bogart Silver Scent

The grape soda note rings true. The only real disappointment of the bunch. I have OMS Ruby and that is 60% of this scent minus the gross grape note and with some actual depth to it.
