Jaipur is an excellent cheapie. I have recently gott a few Puredistance samples. They included Antoine Lie's Gold made for the brand. It's an oriental not 100 miles away from Jaipur but costs €490.00. I think many people would choose Jaipur in a blind test over Puredistance Gold. Sadly Jaipur is a bit too heavy on cinnamon for me personally.

What's the most decadent half XIX century frag?
Something that has the same feeling as an opulent high class brothel, a dark rive gauche alley on a clear new moon night and a bedroom where to lose hope in good company of a woman and a chilled bootle of millesimé?

Got you covered: Bal à Versailles by Jean Desprez. Putain des Palaces if you want to take the theme very literally. Or do you need an actual fragrance from XIX century? Fragrances have changed quite a lot since then, and I think they wouldn't really match your expectations (e.g. dandies wearing soliflores). Mochouir de Monsieur is probably the closest rendition of what a gentleman visiting a brothel back then could sell like despite being from early XX c. not XIX c.
>>17720403
It was actually Nicolas from Pineward who put me back on Tepe wagon when he had bought IP for all of Tepe's fragrances. Been reading good things about The Holy Mountain for years, but it was of a similar unavailable cult classic as Norma Kamali's incense. They also have some other fragrances that are looking interesting. However, I haven't smelled any yet.

There’s nothing even remotely similar to it. It’s too multifaceted and complex while blended very well.

haven't come across anything like tabac but look for frags with rose geranium. jovoy musk for men is very similar (too similar to own both imo) and bulgari eau parfumée au thé vert has rose geranium too even if it's not listed. that said they don't last long either. so just buy tabac. and the after shave. and the shaving soap. feels pretty good to use the soap, the AS and then the edc. also tabac craftsman is a sausage clone

Yes, all the time. Just know a lot about fragrances and know a lot about tastes of the person you want to gift a fragrance. Otherwise, don't. Also sometimes you're going to get a genuine compliment for a sample/decant you're wearing, and you can judge from that if they like a fragrance or not. I recently gifted to friends: Parfums d'Empire Cuir Ottoman, Beaufort Fathom V, ELDO Remarkable People and they were all 100% matches they loved. I also very often give fragrances to girlfriends I'm seeing, as I can't stand them wearing some cloying vanilla designer fragrances or at the very best uninspired masstige. But this is an entirely different thing as I'm giving them fragrances I like, and I want them to wear for me and don't give a single flying fuck about their taste. Most women don't have any taste of their own anyways, so it is enough to tell them something unique while giving them a fragrance like "I wanted to give you it as it reminds me of our first date blah blah and the tuberose there complements your blah blah". If you have any game, you can be sure that it is going to become their new favourite perfume no matter what she would have thought smelling it without this entire context. This way I can enjoy some great fem fragrances that I can't wear myself as they're too fem. I gifted to my ex-gfs Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur (probably like three times lol, as I love it on women), Nicolai Odalisque, Hermes Twilly, Parums d'Empire Le Cri, Different Company Une Nuit Magnetique, Jul et Mad Nea.

No, not even Bois Imperial. But in any case, get the full sample set. If you end up liking one, you get a discount on the full bottle, making the sample set basically free. Even if you plan on buying BI, the sample set is worth it, since the price will immediately be offset by the purchase of the full bottle.

SOTD: the winner of 2023 Arts and Olfaction Awards: Voices by House of Mammoth. It's such a fun summer fragrance. A tropical gourmand with fougere undertones. Not the biggest fan of coconuty/lactonic accords, but here they are mixed perfectly with mango sticky rice accord. It's perfect for hot summers like this one to complement a big smile on your face, sunglasses, and an almost fully unbuttoned linen shirt on your chest. Then eventually it dries down to a much more classical fougere-ish, almost barbershopy structure. This evening we are going to a preview screening of Barbie with my gf, and we decided to dress as Ken and Barbie for fun. Voices will work perfectly for that.
What are you wearing today lads?

They have solid releases (especially for the price) but nothing stood out as much as BI out of their line-up when I was trying it. Perhaps you would like their Fig Infusion by Nathalie Lorson (the Encre Noire creator). I believe there are hardly any other fig fragrances in this price bucket, but I would prefer it to be much greener (like Profumum Roma Ichnusa) and less lactonic.

>great performance
This is an understatement. It's fucking nuclear on me. 6 sprays and I'm literally filling a room. Funny that apparently some folks are anosmic to it and complain about poor performance, while for me it's the complete opposite, it's too strong.

ezz al hail from ibraheem al quraishi is unironically the best men's winter fragrance i've ever used. arab but not to an alienating extent, smells like a big toasty marshmallow and a little coffee with undertones of smoke and oud.

Green fragrances smell like green things usually.

Portrait of a Lady doesn't feature lots of incense, and if you like it you might not like it for the incense as much as for the rose and/or patchouli.
I'm not familiar with the first two frags you disliked, but Interlude isn't very sweet as far as incense frags go.
Also in my opinion it's very much worth it understanding the difference between different types of incense by trying frags that are heavy on one specific type, since "incense" generally means olibanum with some other resin in the west but radically different stuff if you move towards East Asia.
For a soft, spicy, not smokey and very dry incense try Incense by Franck Boclet, it features olibanum from start to finish, though it's never the strongest accord, together with some pepper and cardamom but hardly any smoke.
For straight up olibanum with very little smoke definitely try Olibanum by Profumum Roma, it also has nuclear performance just as everything Profumum.
For something quite similar with more smoke and just a tiny bit of spice try Tiger's nest by Memo.
For soft incense with little smoke and a tiny bit of spice you can also try Bois d'Encens by Armani, which might be nice if you want a SOFT balsamic incense that's very wearable despite how balsamic and nose-piercing it is, though the price is steep considering it's a designer frag.
For a more balsamic, churchy incense, which is a mix of olibanum, myrrh and a tad of who knows what else, try Heely Cardinal, it's the best representation of the incense they burn in church in Italy that I know of; the price is steep considering its performance but trying it is certainly a good way to make sense of what you like.
If you want something closer to Portrait of a Lady try Incense Rose by Tauer or Encens Mythique by Guerlain, though incense isn't the protagonist in either frag.
Wow I'm so knowledgeable about incense, I should make a chart one day or other.

Alright, yesterday's IA scent was Telegrama. This is another fragrance I actively disliked. I must admit I didn't know what talc was and had to google it. It's baby powder. A familiar scent, a reminder of simpler times maybe, but very unpleasant to me. The lavender note is okay but not very impressive, and they use vanilla powder which makes the whole fragrance feel like a cloud of scented dust blowing over your face. I didn't notice the teak, balsam, or any woody sensations at all really. Overall, a disappointment. Second worst IA fragrance so far.
Next up, Slow Explosions. Initial impressions leave me thinking I might just not like the smell of leather, but maybe it'll grow on me.

Thanks anon. Already own their soap bar (recommended, I use it as my shower soap), the shaving soap and the AS balm (this smells even better than the edc imo). I wonder if the edt smells more like picrel than the edc. I guess I'll order 2 small bottles (etc and edt) and report back.

Never. I always buy normie tier presents because people make weird faces when I buy what I like. If I ever buy a fragrance for someone, it will be one promoted by Johnny Depp. It's what makes 95% of the people happy and what they deserve.

Storytime: 2 years ago we celebrated my cousin's wedding. She is like a sister to me.
Instead of give them money, I bought an unique piece of jewelry inspired in the greek islands (she loves Greece) made specially for her. For him, who is an amateur technno dj, I bought an analog kick synthesizer. They looked at me with the grayest eyes when they open the presents. Felt bad.

Leather isn’t an ingredient that can be derived from the source. It is a replicated scent using a combination of aroma chemicals that the house decides to use. That being said, anything with talc likely isn’t going to smell like actual leather. TF ombre leather EDP, ADP Leather concentreè, and PDM godolphin are the 3 closest frags to a realistic leather you will find. I suggest sampling one of those before deciding you don’t like leather.

Dior Homme Sport 2021 release. By far the best designer freshie out there imho. Smells like TdH if it was made for someone who is 25 years old. Sporty, fresh orange peel in the beginning that dries down into a modern woody scent. It also lasts 8 hours easily, with an airy effervescent silage that lasts the first 4-5 hours. I’ve actually started wearing it more often than TdH lately which says a lot considering TdH is probably my favorite designer frag of all time. I’m actually suprised it’s never discussed here. Fantastic juice, easily a 9/10 for me.

I'm starting a new job in South Korea in a business casual setting. I've never worn anything past work pants or joggers to work with a tee shirt and I've never worn a cologne before. I want something masculine and fresh smelling that's not too strong but noticeable when somebody is close.

I was looking at the flowchart and I thought about cartier declaration but I'm afraid I'll remind people of lemon Pledge or lawn clippings if I pick anything woodsy or citrusy. Pic rel is my shaving cream and I like the fresh "showery" smell it has but I want something a little bit more masculine.

Is YSL Kouros or Kiehl's original musk from the flowchart something that would fit me? I'm gonna check out the dept stores at the mall next time I go to get a better idea of what different scent archetypes are like. leaning toward's kiehl's cause it's p cheap and I can probably find a sample at the mall.

Got the ELDO discovery set, some thoughts
>Exit the King
Very strong scent, bit offputting to me. Smells too sweet and overpowering Wouldn't wear it.
>Hermann
Dark and mysterious, really nice. Gives me an image of a forest after a rainstorm. Intriguing but not inviting. Would wear
>Remarkable People
It's bright and sweet with some spices, good overall fragrance but not really my thing.
>Ghost in the Shell
Absolute GOAT, It smells really unique and weird in a good way, sweet and powdery and synthetic but it's really light and airy. Just gives your skin a nice aura.
>You or Someone Like You
Really good mint fragrance, just smells really fresh, nice for hot days. It doesn't last very long though
>Tom of Finland
Nauseating
>Fat Electrician
One of the more interesting ones, there's this note that smells like burned electrical wires which I guess is where it got its name from? Liked it, will wear.

Haven't tried the rest yet.

SOTD Au Coeur du Desert. Still don't know if I want a full bottle of this or L'Air du Desert Marocain. I haven't decided yet and the samples are almost empty.

>>17722247
You are already doing the right thing by going to the store, but you might not find Kiehl's or Kouros to your liking. The flowchart is for getting deeper into it, if you only want to touch the surface level, something like Bleu de Chanel Parfum is your answer. Masculine, fresh-showery, not too strong, the office-safe office fragrance. In general, when you hit up the stores, go for Dior, Chanel and Guerlain if they have them. Hermes and Cartier after that, Caron if the store is actually based. If you want something from the charts, try finding Prada L'Homme, Beau de Jour, Terre d'Hermes, Eau Sauvage, Pour Monsieur, Grey Vetiver, Declaration, Heritage, Cool Water, Green Irish Sneed, Acqua di Parma Colonia. I'd consider all of these very office safe, business casual, clean, masculine and fresh.

>>17722421
Le Male before 2014: good.
Le Male after 2014: meh.
The other ones are also okay-ish. Curve is a classic and I wish it lasted longer.
What to add? Infinite possibilites, but you already have 4 full bottles. Maybe use them all for a while and see if you like them over a longer time, while you occasionally visit some stores to smell some new stuff. If you find something you really like/like more than what you have, get that and replace your least worn fragrance with it (sell it). That way, you don't end up with a collection of stuff you never wear.

>>17722626
Doesn't fucking last and you can wear it in the summer. Apply 40 sprays. Seasonal fragrances are a myth. Normal people don't care, they own one fragrance and wear it year round.

Yes, you should use one. I also prefer sticks or roll-ons over spray. But if you're thinking about using them as a fragrance, forget it. You might be able to smell them for the first 30 minutes, and maybe even skin-close after that, but they don't really project and others won't smell it for long.

>when they aren't even known for frags
That's completely inline with how 90% of masstige and "niche" brands work. I've been to this hobby for many years and met many people irl who were connected professionally to different stages of fragrance manufacturing. Those brands don't care about scents at all. The process is more or less as follows
>their marketing team together with some execs come up with briefs and ideas for fragrances that can bring them the most money
>they are opening a call for fragrances in a way fitting those descriptions
>professional perfumers working for ingredient/perfume big corps like Givaudan/Fermenich/Robertet are sendng them their ideas
>they select some
>the same company starts mass-producing them
>they just slap their logo on the bottles and boxes
Modern "niche"/masstige perfumery is more about Excel spreadsheets than fragrances.

perfume genres. dictates the structure and the lynchpin ingredients used in the perfume.

honestly, if your goal is just to be pleasant and not to offend, you’d be better off going with something unremarkable like bleu de chanel, h24 or terre d’hermes; scents that people have undoubtedly smelled before on people of a similar background and are already used to. you can’t go wrong with them, but you also can’t go particularly right either.
if you want to be more adventurous you could try some of the more buttoned up aromatic fougeres like azzaro pour homme or rive gauche pour homme, but these require a certain degree of confidence and assertiveness to pull off.
if you consider yourself to be a little more intellectual and reserved, consider something like pour monsieur or timbuktu. more intelligently structured, less overtly masculine, but not to be confused with a lack of personality.

if you’re willing to explore old feminines, you’ll find a lot of classic chypres are really unisex on most people today. things like mitsouko, diorella, aromatics elixir, cabochard, bandit, or neoclassical chypres like bogue maai, jubilation 25 (not xxv) and (loosely) chypre palatin. all of these have different characters and personalities, and some may be too dandified on a man for the workplace like mitsouko, but they’re really worth exploring if you see yourself as more withdrawn.

This is so reductive. It's represents some of the best value in mens perfumery and is easily the best example of the particular type of (admittedly unfashionable) men's fragrance.

i didn’t include cuir de russie or sycomore either, because they’re far too specialized to include in a list of just 5 masculine fragrances (the price doesn’t help either). what i did include is pour monsieur, which exists on a completely different plane from antaeus entirely. it’s priced the same and was composed with far more restraint and poise, rare traits in post-1970s masculine fragrance.

i don’t really consider antaeus to be a fougere, more of a generalized powerhouse. fahrenheit or lapidus seem like better examples of powerhouses that are also aromatic fougeres, and for aromatic fougeres in general azzaro, drakkar and kouros are obviously the references.

But it is the worst one out of the bunch, even though that's subjective. Have you tried the others? The gayass part was a joke obviously. My chart says it's a very good fragrance and something to wear to meet her parents. I wouldn't buy Tonnerre because I'll just end up with too many bottles and some I'd almost never wear. I like it and can wear it, but with a bigger selection I'll just always default to something else. I want fragrances that I'll be sure to actually use. Don't want a reddit collection. I have Terror and Fathom now and I want Duke, Cour, Rake, and Armis still. That's 4x~130 bucks and leaves me with a lot of bottles from one house instead of a lot of bottles from different houses. So gay.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 21 12:55:38 2023 No.17722819 >>17722812 is it really a chypre though? it’s really not citric or resinous at all. it definitely feels derived from the aromatic fougere style, just with a woody leathery twist that leaves behind a lot of the coumarin that holds it together.

To be fair, no other house is doing what Beaufort is doing right now. That's why I blind bought this, I knew the fragrance at least was going to be interesting. So, what's wrong with having multiple bottles from the same house, is an interesting house , doing something unique and blending things in their own ways.

I tried T&m , acrasia, fathom, and this one so far from the house. And now considering buying rake and ruin or tonerre, since the same seller is selling those also for 70 bucks. But I know for sure that I won't wear them judging from what I read. Like, there is no acceptable social situation in my life right now where I can go around smelling like smoke, bacon and blood.

Slow Explosions was not my style at all. The leather smell it uses is like a soft suede rather than Cobra & Canary's car leather, pumped up by some spicy notes. I couldn't shake this hint of what I can only describe as "hairspray", and it sticks throughout the lifespan of the fragrance. I will admit I oversprayed though, I figured I'd sweat it off doing yard work and blasted myself, but it didn't ever fade into something I'd describe as "pleasant". Not the worst, but still bottom 3 so far.

rosemary and oregano are sitting in alcohol for the third day now and it's a pretty dark mixture already. The smell is rather strong and alcoholic, obviously. How do I go about making a scent of it? Simply dilute with water until it's at about 20% alcohol? Should I add an oil to the mix?

I'd like to not become a reddit collector, aka someone with 200 bottles that only uses 5. Buying 4 more BFs would mean not buying 4 other things like a Tauer, or a Tepe for example. If I buy all of them I'll end up with 50 bottles. When am I gonna use 50 bottles? I at least want to buy Rake though. That was the next on my list. I wish I could get it for 70, what a steal. Can't guarantee if you'll like it at all though. I wouldn't be surprised of someone were to say it smells like pheromones. Blind buy for 70 though I'd get both.

What about buying decants, I know a lot of guys here in Spain that make 10 ml decants of pretty much all they have. You get the best of both worlds, you don't get a huge collection that show that your spending habits are a bit ridiculous and you get more than enough ml to get bored of the fragrance. And if not, you can always get the full bottle.

But fair enough, your reasoning makes sense.

I will think about getting either tonerre or rake and ruin, but I already spent a lot of money this month in this shit

>How often does a perfume make you giggle uncontrollably? Stetson, bottled since 1981, is plainly for men. The box is a sober, manly box in two stony, manly colors. There are pictures of manly cowboys lassoing (manly) horses. The manly promo copy on the manly back says, “The legendary fragrance of the American West. A rich, masculine blend of rugged woods and spice." Well, shine my spurs, this is a masculine? I could've sworn it was a crisp, classical feminine oriental in the style of Tabu and Youth Dew, with that classic Coca-Cola brightness, an animalic jasmine to fill it out, and powdery, leathery balsamic woods to finish: an old-fashioned structure that still works a treat. It's gorgeous, as rugged and masculine as the lingerie level at Saks Fifth Avenue, and about ten bucks per ounce.

Yes and no. I would frankly prefer a decant over having a full bottle of some Jerkoff, Parfums de Maly or other tacky Arab stuff. Also you either have disposable income and can own plenty of bottles or don’t. It’s often just cope. There’s something alluring about having a small but well crafted collection but the truth is that most people fail at it (just look at some examples of collections posted in this thread), and also most of sensible niche choices can only appreciate in value over time given constant new IFRA regulations, reformulation and batch faggotry etc. I’ve seen recently that people are willing to pay 50% premium for Bois Imperial version from the last year.

no, because chanel not only has their own factories, but has their own exclusive flower fields in grasse that no one else can buy from, and their cumulative resources put entire luxury conglomerates like kering or LVMH to shame. no artsy fartsy niche perfumer or tiny independent working out of his garage can ever hope to match the sheer scale and efficacy of chanel’s industry, and it doesn’t help that chanel have had 2 (i guess 3 if we’re being generous) of the greatest perfumers to have ever lived as house perfumers.

Seems like you're aiming for a thick amber fragrance. Check out The One EdP. It ain't the best performer, but it's snice. Burberry London for Men also has what you need, and doesn't really last, either. Rochas Moustache EdP and Eau des Baux are great as well, rich and ambery, but aren't necessarily tobacco-leather fragrances. After that, it gets expensive. Chergui, Sundowner, Ombre Leather, Iron Duke, Roaring Radcliff and so on.
