They're pretty good, I've got 1725, 1740, 1828, Ambre 114, and Noir Patchouli travel bottles. 1828 is a nice fresh citrus, the licorice note in 1725 isn't really strong which is nice, it is well blended, 1740 is a smooth amber/leather/woody scent, Ambre 114 almost has a bug spray note for a few minutes but it dies down and the drydown is nice, Noir Patchouli is...patchouli

SOTD rocking The Noir 29 after the gym. Shit smells divine: the longevity is average ish. I still smell it off my neck and I’m about 5-6 hours in so if it’s for an event or date it’s perfect. Got it off Le labos sampler. Annoyed as shit that Santal 33 is in a dabber though. Might get an individual sprayer sample online of it cause I still love the scent. Also to the other anon a few threads ago asking about bergemonte 22. The performance is atrocious. (It was in the dabber but I can’t imagine spraying would have helped at all) smelt nice and piney/woody fwiw

Tried Al-Rehab Lord last night. This one's a throwaway for me. It just smells sickly sweet and radioactive just like joop homme and is very linear. It's this unpleasant chemical honey scent that overpowers everything else in this fragrance. I feel like I've smelled it somewhere before and I seriously hope that's not it smelling like TLPH because I'd like to try that at some point too.
Thankfully at $6.50 for a 6ml oil Dakar is easily worth the price I paid for both.

Still Dior or Chanel, although it might take a while. The mainstream shit is currently so neutered and similar that perfumers really don't feel a need to create something unique or new anymore. Just reiterations of previously created stuff.

>>17635415
Checking out Chanel, Guerlain or Dior even works for women, they got some of the best releases. Other than that, my gf has been enjoying the Francesca Bianchi discovery set and will likely buy Under My Skin and she currently wears Costume National Scent Intense EdP. The latter would fit the bill perfectly.

It's a TLPH clone. Honey and urinal cake is what TLPH is. If you only got the honey, get TLPH for the full experience (gotta get that urinal cake smell), or straight Kouros if you prefer piss over urinal cake.

Bro pls. It's sweet as shit. Both tlph and kouros which it takes inspiration from are also honey frags. It's also soapy as fuck which combined with the sweetness makes it smell like the worst kind of floor cleaner. It's ridiculously sweet. Again, instantly reminded me of joop homme.

Hard to tell. Fragrances literally losing on popularity, the Jeremy hypetrain is over. More and more people are into avoiding chemicals in cosmetics. Maybe an all natural fragrance could be the next hit.
But fragrances overall are a dying trend.
Thinking about this, someone can theorize that Jeremy was paid to do what is he doing, because major fragrance brands saw the decline. Shady business dudes masquerading as cool people.

no idea. it's been a long time since anything really new caught on
H24 seems to not have been a hit, but it was a valiant attempt to make something different as a brand new men's release
Sauvage Elixir got some hype, so maybe we'll see an oriental fougere rebirth? the new Dior Hommes seem more like followers than trend setters

I wonder what Chanel's next move will be. they were the ones creating the big trend last time (blue fragrances), so maybe they'll do it again? Bleu was released in 2010, the time is ripe

maybe something for fall/winter because i don't ever see western men going for something other than blue in summer
blue is fresh and fruity and aquatic and that's what 80% of men are drawn to: the sea, the lake, the holiday

blue fragrances aren't really aquatics though, more like post-aquatics. I think they'll lose popularity eventually, since I've already seen Sauvage and even BdC memed on by normies a bit

I also took one girl out for a fragrance store date and she said that "sauvage is for basic fuckboys", despite not being too well-versed in perfume at all.

because they are the future and their opinions reflect what the fragrance landscape will be in 5 years. besides, the girl was 23 and still identified Sauvage as "that basic fuckboy fragrance" completely unprompted

I'm sure some people in the 90s said Joop! and CK Eternity will always be the most popular, mass pleasing perfumes out there. in the 80s they said this about Drakkar Noir, in the late 2000s, about 1 Million.

as hit fragrances get oversaturated, knocked off 20 times and worn by every indian taxi driver out there, they become less desirable and the market will move on to something new. it's always been like this

could also be forests. but I don't think even blue fragrances are all that marine or aquatic, true aquatics like ADG were big a bit earlier than that

the next trend could be more abstract for all we know. think of Baccarat Rouge 540 - very popular and trendy, yet hard to pin down for many people. all the Bisch frags people keep memeing are pretty weird and abstract too
maybe the future is abstract and "molecular"?

dior Homme 2020, H24 and the popularity of Escentric Molecules could point in this direction, we'll see if this trend reaches true mass appeal

gigantic circlejerk. popular = bad so everything positive must be downvoted. niche but popular = good so everything negative must be downvoted. if shit gets downvoted too much, fragrantica hides it. as a result, you can easily sway the opinion in the comments/reviews of a fragrance and many large brands do so. it probably only needs like 10-15 accounts to hide a review. hiding the review doesn't change the vote of the person, though, as a result there might be a disconnect between the reviews and votes/rating for a fragrance.

Probably Mercedes-Benz Le Parfum. A weighty bottle with a heavy glass bottom and a nice color gradient, a shiny copper and silver cap with leather wrapped around it, stored in a small leather cabinet. It takes the design of the entire line and then adds subtle changes to elevate it above the others.
Other than that, Chopard's Malaki line with the brushed metal on the top. They look classy, a bit vintage and have the necessary haptics to back it up.

there's nothing wrong with liking aventus. I own a bottle and save it for special occasions. I'm not really sure why people think it underperforms or smells significantly worse now, and those who avoid it due to popularity also overstate how common it is in the wild. I have yet to smell it on someone else. I also avoid wearing it to the office because it projects way too much for an enclosed space.
the only real crime is that the price is way higher than it needs to be -- completely taking advantage of the popularity in the community.
I will say that I was underwhelmed when I first got the bottle, but after a month or so it matured (macerated?) into something completely different.

yeah they had better bottles in the past. it's been some time since i tried them but i'll try to remember. the smell of weather turning was alright but not very memorable. it was grassy-minty as far as i remember. "death & decay" was very interesting, super heavy dark flowers on the brisk of rotting. my personal favorite is breath of god, it's very weird and hard to describe. it's bitter, flowery, woody with a tad of non-sweet melon. fun fact: it's a mix of exhale & inhale, the parfumeur had the idea to mix the two scents during a trip to tibet, although at first exhale & inhale were meant to be polar opposites. i want to buy breath of god eventually, hoping that one day there'll be a sale. check out your nearest city if they have a store, i was surprised by how many stores they have here.
i tested a bunch of their other scents and while i don't remember any specifics to tell you, they're far more interesting and sometimes daring than majority of designers, dare i say even modern cdg.

Can you describe it in an "accord" kind of way? Floral, sweet, animalic, etc?

I'm a chemist, so I roughly remember what cyanide smells like, but it's less almond-y to me. More cherries. The closest one to that vibe is actually L'Homme Ideal EdP. The common notes between that one and Lover's Tale are the bulgarian rose and leather. I still think it might be some kind of leather, so it might be the rose/leather combination (also found in DHP). So I guess check out L'Homme Ideal EdP (and maybe DHP) to narrow it down further?
There are many fragrance compounds which trigger the almond (or cherry) smell association besides cyanides, e.g. benzaldehyde or nitrobenzene. In fact, nitrobenzene was the best cherry smell I've ever smelled (and I probably shouldn't have smelled it).

You can absolutely smell cyanide and not die. Just because it's above the detection threshold doesn't mean it's already toxic. I didn't really put my nose to it and sniffed it, but you sometimes will catch a whiff of it. In fact, I'm more worried about my total nitrobenzene exposure.

nta but bro you just suggested a sugary sweet ultra male clone after somebody who wears new york intense was looking into buying lyric man, onyx and portrait of a lady. it would be better if you stuck around for a while and closed that youtube tab with the top 10 designer clones.

[Anonymous No.17637085]

>>17637077
Never happened to any of my bottles. Some changed a little in smell, but none of the magic performance increases or whatever actually happened. Grand Soir apparently turns green with age, but that's about it. If you asked me, maceration is a meme and entirely brain-related (just like half of the reformulations).

[Anonymous No.17637088]

>>17637083
and what? you have to understand the level at which you are suggesting fragrances. you're suggesting a department store shelf filler clone to someone looking to buy a bunch of faux-niche overpriced smelly waters instead of another bottle of nyi. the disconnect is strong.

Cool Water is damn good for 20 Euros, but there is something I don't dig in the dry down. There is something kind of sweet/powdery I dislike. Le Male drydown gives me this kind of feel too. I'm thinking about some Polo Blue flanker, maybe Polo Sport, since I already own BdC.

I like it, but I can see why some don't. too in your face with the leather, too sweet, too "synthetic", too much like car seats
I'm glad I picked up Dior Homme Parfum instead for my sweet leather fragrance though, it's definitely more complex and interesting to me, I think I'd get tired of Ombre Leather after a while

Lots of hype for the Kenzo line, so I tested all three on my skin and honestly I'm not very impressed
EDP is pretty good, but it seems like it'd be too heavy and sweet for summer, can anyone confirm?
Intense is fine, smells like figs and aquatic notes, but there's something in there that smells medicinal, almost like camphor
EDT is different from both, fairly inoffensive fresh aquatic, is this all the 90s Kenzo hype is about though? It's good but not amazing.

Anyway, my gf told me EDP fit me very well so I'll wear it a few more times, but I expected better

idk if it has that much hype, except for that one terminally online guy who can't eat salty crackers without thinking about licking feet
they're okay, but I don't really like aquatics. the EDP smells like pickles and sweaty skin to me, not in a super bad way but a little odd

[Anonymous No.17637432]

>>17636990
yeah I like the opening too, but there is a greenness that becomes more prominent in the dry down that I dont like
