I dislike nearly everything Creed makes, but like Sublime Vanille and LOVE Silver Mountain Water.

The worst thing I had was The Hedonist by Ex Nihilo, a salesman at a store recommended it and sprayed it on me. It‘s pungent, obnoxious and didn‘t go away. He somehow managed to hit my jacket‘s sleeve with it as well, it took close to a month for the stench to go away. Terrible stuff.

Kurkdjian is an excellent perfumer imo, too bad he is playing it safe for MFK frags
Gentle Fluidity Silver is good, quality is great, performance is average, reminds me (and others) of gin&tonic, a bit boring/too safe for the price

[Anonymous No.17780299]

NTA but probably stuff like Chanel and Dior (the latter have now employed Kurkdjian to replace Demachy as head perfumer). High quality fragrances, exclusive lines with even more sophistication, but still within the limits of what society would easily accept.

I tried frags from Chanel but I found bleu unfit for summer and CAHSEE a tad too sweet though I should try it again (terrible performance though)
As for Dior I don't really like sauvage, the iris DH frags I used to wear so I've grown tired of, and the new DH frags are very generic "airy" woody citruses imo, not my thing.
Is there anything fresh from Dior's high end line I should try?

>>17780319
Ideally you'd find a Dior store which stocks the line and find out yourself. It's always hard to predict what someone might like, although Bois d'Argent is always worth a test for someone who liked the DH iris frags. Also test the other Chanels, like Platinum Egoiste and Pour Monsieur if you're looking for something for summer.

>>17780367
Besides what the other guy said, why pick two at random? The store might not even have exactly those. If you don't know what smells you like to start the chart, then how would you proceed without a chart?
Usually, step 1 is always going to a store to find out which types of fragrances you might like. Give the sprayers a quick sniff, it will help you eliminate a whole bunch immediately, test a few ones on paper strips if you aren't sure about them, test your favorite ones on your skin. Return if you didn't like how they evolved. Return if you like to test more.

[Anonymous No.17780375]

>>17780367
you can check out Chanel Egoiste, Dior Eau Sauvage and Terre d'Hermès in any mall, probably even the other fragrances, but I did not find all of them. Just go there and sample them. Take notes what you like and where you sprayed it, because it will smell different later.

Ebay. It is generally good if you know what you‘re doing and the seller doesn‘t. This happens if the seller got the fragrance as a gift or is selling an inheritance.

I think I know exactly what you are talking about. try CK All and report back. it's not exactly the same but it will be a good start. don't check the notes just go and try it. I got it as a free sample (fuck me) over a year ago and it instantly reminded me of certain tshirts and how they smelled right off the shelf. it's not the fresh smell of laundry or clothing paint (or maybe?). there is a certain musky smell to them that I liked as well. probably supposed to get you addicted and buy more shit
applied CK All 30 minutes ago and I think the drydown (yes its already in that phase) matches this in ~50-75%
good luck

Guerlain vetiver and givenchy vetyver are similar only that they are green fresh fragrances. The vetiver note in Givenchy vetyver is more similar to TF grey vetiver and Royall vetiver noir if you’ve tried either of them. Whether or not you like guerlain vetiver givenchy vetyver is worth sampling. On another note. I wore acqua di Parma oud las tonight. It reminds me of Guerlain les absolu line. It’s probably the norlimbanol. I’m not a big fan of either and won’t buy full bottles of them.

You can test it in plenty of places in Europe. I personally got a sample of it (and 20-something other fragrances) for free with my order from Ecuacion. He's much more honest and open about his fragrances than that retard Russian Adam, who hypes the shit out of his releases, so idiots like me have to blind-buy it before having a chance to smell them.

I bought a sample of Ganymede a week or so ago and have be slowly testing it. Very first use was good, but the last two times I’ve used it I get this ever so faint whiff is something ‘body odor’-esque (bad) in the opening that I can’t quite place. First 15-30 minutes ish, not like I’ve actually timed it. The rest is fine (and good even). Was really thinking about buying a bottle but I’m starting to have second thoughts.

Any thoughts on what I’m smelling? Fully admit I’m a noselet, but yes I showered before hand, deodorant, etc. it’s not me. It’s something in the fragrance and I just don’t know what it is.

I also have BI but it hasn’t gotten old for me yet, and I’ve worn it more than the Ganymede.

Still doesn’t answer my question though, I’m trying to figure out if there’s some particular scent that I should be avoiding in the Ganymede.

Don’t think it’s the akigala, because I don’t notice it at all in BI. Ganymede is supposed to have “mineral notes” in the top, could that be construed as body odor-ish?

Oh, if you‘re a guy, especially a young one, Jicky is not great. It has leather to it, making it raunchy, but it is also a very old fragrance. It can work if a daring girls wears it, but on a young guy it may very well smell too boomery, like Knize ten.

If you want to appear fun, rich and sexy and plan to get girls, I would stay away from the ones that are too fresh and clean, stuff like Sauvage, Aventus or Bleu de Chanel. They seem a bit cold and standoffish. Instead you can try something more inviting, yet still classy: Try out Chanel Egoiste or Platinum Egoiste.

Sauvage blogpost: I avoided Sauvage EDT when it first came out because I was a snob.In retrospect the hatred of Sauvage due to popularity harkens back to the early 2000s on Basenotes when everyone would trip over each other to shout how bad aquatics were and how the industry was ruined by them and blah blah blah blah.Buddy of mine gave me a bottle of Sauvage EDP, started wearing it on and off, almost through the entire bottle now. Got decants of EDT and Parfum, ended up getting full bottles of each.
I'd rank the EDP at the bottom of the 3 when it comes to smell, but if you have a small collection it's the most versatile and the one to buy. Sometimes the "best" one isn't the most logical choice. The EdT and Parfum are much better, the EDP is too much of a compromise in vision and tones down the citrus/pepper of the EDT while lacking the depth and smokiness of the Parfum. If you really like this style, there's no reason to own all 3, just get the EDT and the Parfum. My bottle of EDP is starting to run low, I won't be replacing it.

I really love it, but it's my first experience with these kind of fragrances (real castoreum and natural oud) and maybe I can get something as interesting for less.

I was looking at some of the bortnikoff attars , and they look like a relatively cheap way to learn what I like or not (also ask for prin and bortnikoff samples in Ecuacion with the order) but what's puts me off from it is:

-the way that you have to use the attars sounds quite fucked up, like, you are either dabbing or swiping the stick it over your skin, doesn't that has huge risk of contaminating the oil? And with even more risk considering that it's natural oud oil..

-the storage. Natural oud and ingredients get degraded over time, or at least they change. Should I put them in the fridge to slow down the process of aging?

Oh great, another fragrance with currently popular "clary sage" note.

If you've smelled them, it becomes easy to single out. That stuff must be cheap as fuck because they've started throwing it into every designer release below a certain price. Some have even tried to hide it as just "lavender", but once you smell it, you realize it's that clary sage note. Often the fragrances include both notes as that clary sage chemical smells ambiguous in that regard.

If you haven't heard about Guerlain only 0.3 seconds ago, you would be already used to their "discontinuation" nosnense. I've been 3 or 4 phases of Guerlain discontinuing it. Also with info from the customer support corroborating it. This typically meant that they were trying to move it from one line to another or change bottles. Guerlain has been confused as fuck for the last decade or two. The best thing they could do is to appoint Patricia de Nicolai to take care of that burning dumpster. Her NYI is one of my favorites. I just love the iris-vanilla drydown there.

I have tried many frags with tea notes because I like tea, but the problem is that most of them don’t last very long or have too much or a much stronger note that masks the tea. Another Anon mentioned Russian Tea which is quite nice, a more “western” style of tea if that makes sense. If you want a more Asian tea, try Armani The Yulong. It’s not the best in performance because it’s a tea frag, but it is really nice, masculine enough to wear as a straight male without coming across like a fairy.

since you seem to know it: how do these versions compare to each other? l'instinct, edt, edp? L'instinct has totally different notes listed, but smells similar as edt in a way. I think that the last time I sampled I preferred the edt, but it smelled off the next time. edp has no samples here. None of them resemble eau sauvage in my opinion.

Sadly this rules out 90% of fragrances. I have heard that Francesca Bianchi and Nicolai are the two houses which rather use "orris" as their signature note. It's much different from your routine vanilla amber; think of powder or women's lipsticks.

Kouros Fraicheur came in the mail today, I was expecting it to be a used, opened bottle but it was brand new and still sealed. Smells amazing, very similar to the modern formula of Kouros actually but with toned down musk. It's now a distinctly smooth, creamy "barbershoppy" fougere without any of the angularity that even the modern formula still has.

What I tried from prin is quite good, so I cannot say I don't like his stuff a lot. Roja and Amouge are companies that sell luxury products and are honest about what they are selling. Russian Adam is just a guy that sells himself as an independent perfumer and then he does stunts like the one in the video that makes him look like a fucking clown desperate to sell you his poorly blended stuff .

Or course your fucking oil is going to smell good if you use eight fucking different types of real oud and good essential oils , but there doesn't make you a perfumer or an artist . That makes you an artisan at most

You shouldn't really throw Areej and Prissana to the same bucket as Roja and Amouage. The latter are mostly masstige brands using synthetic iris, whereass the first two use natural orris butter.

I wrote the blog post about Sauvage, I absolutely love the whole line. If you have a small collection and just want to smell good and not go full autist like some of us, just get Sauvage EDP, not the EdT, Parfum or elixir. It's not the best of the line but it is the most versatile.
