It smells like a longer lasting take on 4711 or Kolonya, simple as.

It's unironically a perfect representation of the trex on the bottle. A musty old office in the top floor of an old building with old cigarettes in an ashtray next to a dried mug of coffee on a very cold night.

I'm really surprised how lifting weights can raise your testo levels and confidence.
Before i kicked my ass and got to the gym to get a membership i was your typical Sauvage/Profondo fag who told to himself that going for a run here and there is fine.
Now i lifting heavy weights and my body literally burns in passion when a fat ass white milf walks in front of me or when a couple passes by i wouldn't get intimidated, but the couple gets impressed by me and i think how i could steal the males GF/wife.

that can easily be disproven by checking the previous threads. why are you lying? what's your problem? bump limit is 310 btw (for any newfriends), number of replies can be found in the bottom right. doesn't hold true for the last 5 or so threads, didn't check them all. sometimes it's even far over 1 hour between reply #310 and a new thread.
>I haven't been raging at all.
you're just absolutely schizophrenic with a "gangstalking" vibe. yeah, op is out to get you, and only you. he totally wants to make a new thread to put "his" infographics in, specifically because it bothers (You).

Not sure why you're making a big deal out of this. You must be butthurt because what I said was true. At the end of the day I just made a post thanking OP for not being a faggot, and you decided to turn it into an autistic 20 reply chain for no reason at all.

I don't know what you're saying. Are you saying it's wrong that OP links the thread only after he made the two infographics replies? Because I've made quite a few of these threads in the past and that's how I have also done it. It's not like the thread is invisible or anything, or that the new thread can't be expected to appear after the old one has reached the bump limit (if it didn't appear, I made it myself).
If you think OP has to wait before other people can comment and needs to link the new thread in the old thread first, the problem is you. You have brainworms.

I know everyone is asking the same question becauae of the coming season, but let me add some context. Maybe most people asking what a good summer fragance is, are USA or Europe anons, people who live in areas where they have the 4 seasons and summer is always relates to vacation time. However, some people like me and other 3rd worldies live in areas where it is hot the entire fucking year. I kid you not. The lowest temperature ever recorded in my city is like 22 c (77F) and thirld workd heat tends to be different from European/American heat. It is a super aggresive and extremely humid heat (around 80-90% humidity). With all of that said what would be a good fragance for this context? Again don't think about a fragance that you'd wear for summer vacation or maybe a fragance for summer vacation that you could also wear for several other situations year round.

Try Vetiver extraordinaire, givenchy vetyver, and royall vetiver noir. All of them have a similar vetiver note to Grey vetiver. Tdh is more similar to Encre noir and Guerlain homme leau boisse. Guerlain vetiver has a more raw vetiver oil. Imo is is the best

Need reccs for this summer. Looking for something that isn't super sweet and can only be smelled when people are pretty close to me. I don't like stinking up the room.

Been wearing Santal 33 on most days. I switch to Another 13 or Silver Mountain Water for date nights with the gf. Another 13 gets a lot of compliments from MILFS in the wild.

I've tried stuff off those meme charts like Mefisto Gentiluomo and Invasion Barbare and it just reeks like an arab. No body wash smells, punishing oud stenches or super "manly" (old man) smells. Ideally don't want to smell like any generic "mature" "sexy" smell.

So they claim. Probably small amounts. Your best bet might be to purchase ambergris essential oil. I did that for oakmoss, oud, deer musk, and civet because I was interested. I can now easily differentiate between these natural ingredients and their synthetic counterparts. I have yet to find a frag with real dear musk though. Would be nice.
For civet you can find it in old Jicky and Zino bottles. For oakmoss I detect a bunch in the vintage Guerlain frags. For oud I can tell that many modern fragrances that claim to be oud fragrances are synthetic. Same with sandalwood, but you can find nice natural sandalwood in vintage Guerlain heritage.

The Mediterranean line has a sampler set with 2oz vials. They vary quite heavily in terms of performance. I bought a 200ml jug of fico di amalfi just because I liked it so much. It's great for summer. All of the five smell good, but the ones based on woods have noticeably better performance.

The Colonia line varies pretty severely in terms of scents too. Some of the flankers really go their own way. I got a 50ml of Futura. It's approachable vetiver, but still slightly astringent. I think better for 35 year olds+ or close

sweet powdery floral dries down to a thinly sweet woody green. It's actually a great scent, but it really only shines in spring and summer. I don't think it has the performance for a $300 ticket, and it ends up being unisex in that it oscillates from a very feminine opening, to a much more masculine drydown; both versions smell great though.

Keep it in mind and get it from discounters for $170

I wish women still wore Shalimar, Mitsouko and Chanel no. 19. I don't mind most modern men's perfumes, but the stuff women tend to wear all smells like a sugary bubblegum overdose with no nuance to me

i did go to the store. I wasn't going to buy it but it was the last one there (no tester) and i saw online they said they were sold out, selling 90ml for $99 (aud) which is quite a steal considering how much it's selling for everywhere else online.

as for the other perfumes, I bought myself a bottle of Mitsouko and initially was scared it was too 'old' for me but I've come to enjoy it because it reminds me of my dad who wore Aromatics Elixir. I am not a fan of sugary bubblegum fragrances but instead I seem to go for masculine, incense, spiced, deep fragrances. CDG Incense Avignon and Black EDT namely are my favourites. I just don't want to smell like an old lady. I would rather save up to get some more interesting niche fragrances. I'd really like to get some Oriza L. Legrand fragrances for example, or a Serge Lutens or just anything a bit more interesting. Classic smells are just not for me.

So, my GF gave me a bottle of her pop's old Paul Sebastian, and she says it mixes with my natural scent really well. Daddy issues aside, any other fragrances like this? I'm 28 years old, have a wide budget range (I'd liek to know for all levels), and looking for something for daily wear. I personally like the lavendery smell and slight musk. thanks in advances bros

it's a light, easy, approachable vetiver. The construction is very similar to L'Eau d'Issey L'homme where the yuzu is substituted out for vetiver and the whole thing is lifted with a bit of ginger in the opening. If it's about $50-60 I would say it's a good spring to fall fragrance. It's a good option if you think vetivers tend to be too heavy; if you're looking for encre noir with more freshness then skip this and just get encre noir sport (much more vetiver heavy)

Dear /frag/heads, I'm seeking some fragrance gift ideas for my 39 yo father, he'll be enjoying a two-month summer stay at a country club. During this time, he'll be engaging in activities like swimming, golfing, and playing tennis. Additionally, there's a lovely picnic area in a small forest and a couple of bars/restaurants at the club.
Which fragrances to complement the country club setting? A refreshing scent for daytime and an elegant fragrance for evening would be nice. Must be less than 200 bucks for the two bottles.
I've done some research and come across options like Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo, Chanel Allure Homme Sport, and Armani Acqua di Gio Profondo. However, I'm not very knowledgeable about colognes...

I think it's mostly just underrated because it's the follow-up to Terre, which was such a hit and has such a reputation that people would be disappointed no matter what H24 smelled like
I also own a bottle of TdH by the way. I like it, but it's not really an everyday fragrance for me, especially not in the summer. it's a bit too spicy and too piercing for that, that pepper and iso E combo can be a punch in the face
H24 is more understated. maybe that's also part of why some people were disappointed with it and the abstract nature of the fragrance and notes made people not know what to expect
but then again, maybe it's just the fragrantica addicts who voiced their disappointment? I do hope H24 is doing well on the market, it's definitely more unique than competing designer releases. and considering normie youtubers like Jeremy and Tim Dessaint hype it up, maybe it is actually doing well commercially.

No that's not what I meant. What I meant is that he only has normalfag fragrances, so it literally doesn't matter what he picks if he doesn't have any cool and rare ones.
