All of the Bleus are just ‘okay’ to me. Mass appealing, not bad at all, but they don’t wow me. I bought a bottle of EdP a little while ago for a similar reason, just to own something a little light for the summer/spring, but heavier than most typical summer frags.

This is the one that made me never ever order more than a 1-2 decant again for new ones. I love LNDL and thought I should try 10 ml since it just got discontinued then I could find a full bottle. Will it be great or even better than LNDL? The opening is pretty close to LNDL but then it turns into a cheap generic old lady perfume. At least to me. Im sure you all will not like that, so a preemptive Knock Knock....

Iron Duke is their best to my nose, great scent, evolves well, decent performance. Tonnerre is great performance but not something I could daily.
I will say R&R also fades similarly fast to T&M on my skin, but it evolves a ~little~ more. Fathom wasn’t to my taste but performance seemed decent. Like shoving your nose into a bouquet of white flowers.

Btw, it’s much different than Fathom, but damn Acrasia is so good. I see people bitch about Jasmine so often but holy shit I love it, and Acrasia has this great opening and a faint Iron Duke dry down. So good.
It wasn’t until like a month ago when I re-read one of the OP’s Pastebins (nested within a sub Pastebin) that I realized Jasmine is the bubblegum sweet smell in some perfumes.

Just sampled some random shit.
>MAB Ganymede
Smells like chrome. Like taking a new laptop out of the box. Also a bit like a dentist’s office, yes. It is growing on me as I sniff it more. Seems linear and strong. Super, super unique. Will probably snatch a bottle and then barely ever use it. Definitely a pleb filter type of scent.

>PDM Pegasus
I don’t like this. Smells like a rotten girly dior hypnotic poison clone mixed with cheap fougere. I love the smell of amaretto and even I don’t like this almond accord. Pass.

>PDM Greenley
It is fine. Not worth their asking price at all. Comes across as herbal and clean. Fruity in the background. Smells a bit 90s. I’d wear it in the spring if I had a bottle.

[Anonymous No.17954027]

continued
>Initio Rehab
Opens with vanilla and florals. Turns into Spicebomb in a few minutes. It is good. I already have OG Spicebomb so owning this would be redundant. Also I kind of like the more pungent opening of Snicebomb.

>Diptyque Eau de Minthe
The opening has nice mint but unfortunately fades much faster than I anticipated on paper. Then it becomes like Drakkar Noir. Would be redundant to own this personally. But I enjoy the overall profile. Fine.

>CDG 2
This is so good for summer. It is hard to place exactly what this smells like for me but I love it. Sparkling and refreshing but also calming and comforting? This is a damn near masterpiece for summer perfumery. Unisex. Buying a bottle. I think it lists ink which may be the unique smell I’m picking up.

>ELDO The Ghost in the Shell
Unsweetened milk tea. Some nice white florals. Very zen. I could see a guy pulling this off but I do think it better suits my gf. It is unisex. It is classy and elegant. I actually like this a lot. Understated but crafted very well. Highly recommend this one for someone who just wants to smell clean.

My gf said it was “interesting” and that was the only feedback I have gotten on it so far. I’m not sure if she was feeling it that much kek. But I have gotten worse reactions than that from her - she isn’t afraid to say if I smell like her grandma or charcoal.

That being said, I don’t think anybody will find it offensive or outright stinky. It definitely isn’t that. It is just kinda strange.

>The brand elected to use a B-list formula for a fresh fragrance that was rumored to be everything from a cancelled Aramis by Estée Lauder (1965) summer flanker, to a new Lauder for Men fresh flanker (justifying the repurposed bottle), to an unused fragrance formula for a scent by Tommy Hilfiger (who Lauder made fragrances for back then), to finally an unused alternative formula for Beyond Paradise for Men by Estée Lauder (2004). That last one I find highly unlikely as there is nothing remotely tropical or “paradise” about what’s in the Donald Trump bottle, but I digress. What I do know is Anne Buzantian created this scent, and she is one-half the team alongside Alberto Morillas that created Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger (1994), so her track record with men’s fragrance is proven. What she created here is a weird hybrid between an aquatic and a citrus aromatic chypre. The top has citrus, mint, and basil, yet also cucumber notes and massive doses of calone-1951 with dihydromyrcenol. The heart similarly meshes together disparate elements like hedione, coriander, rose, and an unctuous clary sage, while the base marries vetiver, cedar, oakmoss, timberol, cashmeran, ambroxan with other sheer musks. It’s hard to tell where the aquatic ends and the chypre begins, although all told it smells very much like a 2004 freshie for someone a bit too mature for an overly fruity ozonic musk like what was blowing up malls back then. This is a clever and enjoyable scent, and the stuff in this fake Lauder for Men bottle is really good, easily substituting for Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren (2002) as many claim, even if it doesn’t smell all that similar to it; I just get “formal” vibes from this in the same way, and Polo Blue is the only other “formal” aquatic I could see appropriately dressed up in a tie. Performance is likewise very good for a freshie. Anne Buzantian did a great job.

Just got samples of La Nuit de L Homme, Fahrenheit, By The Fireplace and Jazz Club. I've tested all but the last one and god damn.
YSL I was told was supposed to be super "hot" or attractive or whatever, it has 0 projection and smells like shower gel, huge scam.
Fahrenheit doesn't smell like gasoline at all, just like a mature shower gel, very light projection.
By this point I got pretty upset with the main stream brands and was hoping for repica to save the day, and my god it did.
Fireplace smells so strange, I can't stop sniffing, it's somehow very sweet wood, after the last two I expected terrible performance, so I sprayed two times which apparently was too much. I like it, never smelled something close to that, even though I've heard it's very overused.

no. you can ignore YSL because they've gone to shit. but Dior still has some good shit and they are more serious about being in-house and thoughtful with their releases than brands like YSL and Margiela, which are both just fronts for L'Oreal, really
the Fahrenheit DNA seems common now because it got so popular, but it was a pretty daring release back in the day

it may be that your taste just goes towards sweeter, richer fragrances. from Dior you could try Dior Homme Intense / Parfum, Eau Sauvage Parfum (the one in the green bottle). from Chanel, something like Egoiste. from niche brands, try ELDO Fat Electrician and Jovoy Psychedelique

what do you mean "big houses"? replica is a big house, owned by otb group. also fireplace doesn't smell strange, you just don't get outside a lot. it smells like burnt marshmallows. diabetically sweet. i guess it's a great and "new" smell for people who have never smelled that because they didn't have a childhood (or were raised by a screen).
also, good job using your sample size of 3 to deduce that all "big houses" must be shit. yes, you should avoid big houses, the best designer fragrances just aren't for you. you should stick to smaller houses. pdm layton is a great and supersweet fragrance, kilian angels share is great and supersweet from a small house, maybe something like that would be to your liking. also don't come back.

Is it normal for colognes to change a little after time? I’ve been away from my collection for about six months due to work, and coming back, a few of them seem to have a few notes now stronger than previous, and some added strength. They’ve been in a cool, dark box for all of this time. So it’s not sunlight or moisture.

I had the coof earlier and lost my sense of smell for a couple of days. But I don’t like to think it was that.

I haven't tried this one, but there's another one called Success which, along with Aqua Allegoria: Teazzurra, is the worst fragrance I've ever smelled. Funnily enough, I voted for Trump, while a co-worker of mine who hates Trump, loved Success. Just goes to show how subjective perfumery is.

Friend of mine sent me a bottle of success as a Christmas gift in 2015/16, I ostensibly finished the bottle because I remember throwing it out when it was empty, but I cannot got the life of me remember a single thing about the scent. Forgot about this story entirely until just now, desu

been lurking and sampling /frag/ for maybe 5 months now. Not expecting any response besides an attack on my sensibilities. Settled on these before I spend more than $500 on frag.
>Full Bottles
Habit Rouge EDP (signature, daily)
Lalique Pour Homme Lion EDP (work)
Tom Ford Black Orchid EDP (date night)
>Decants
Parfums de Nicholai New York Intense 5ml
Commes des Garcons 2 5 ml
Creed Green Irish Tweed 5ml

I stopped wearing NYI after I bought Lalique Lion as they shared notes but Lion seemed more entry level for my office job. GIT is nice for a party or night out, love the warmth but I won't support Creed pricing. CdG2 I will probably buy a bottle of for spring, unless I find something better before then. Interested in Rogue Perfumes (since they are shilled ITT hard) but don't really need more takes on a fougere.
I am also somewhat curious to try out more EdT. I default on EDP for (what i assume is) better longevity but I'm sure some EdT are works of art that only last 3 hours.

Very normal. Time alone will have an effect on any fragrance, to what degree depends on the frag. While protecting them from light and temp changes help reduce this, you’ll still get some degree of change because of the air in the bottle (assuming it has been used).

The biggest factor though is actually not the frag changing, but you. Not in the sense of your nose like >>17955147 said, although that can certainly happen to, but more so in regard to skin chemistry (which in itself is affected by diet), air quality, etc. etc. frags can vary -wildly- from person to person, it would be foolish to think they wouldn’t change on a singular person as well over time.

[Anonymous No.17955199]

Habit rouge is nice. The edc>edp>edt. Guerlain heritage is better than Lalique lion and nyi. Tom ford black orchid is similar to the classic Guerlain shalimar but modernized a bit. Shalimar is less expensive and better. Davidoff cool water is the same nose as green Irish tweed. They are also similar. The vintage forumjaltions of cool water are much better quality than today. That is also true with all Guerlain frags.

[Anonymous No.17955235]

>>17955171
I’ll at least be someone who won’t insult your sensibilities. You do you, enjoy what you like.

I will say though, Rogue is great because 1) It’s a high quality niche brand, and in this case I specify niche more because it’s a personal business 2) Performance is generally pretty good on his stuff 3) The price point is fantastic for the quality you’re getting.
All those things combined make me want to support him as business and hopefully see it (continue to) flourish.

As for the EdT vs EdP thing, it’s still true in some cases, and I have no doubt that 30 to 40+ years ago (fuck I hate reminding myself Y2K was 24 years ago) it was much more about concentration, but now-a-days it’s merely a marketing technique.
Brands release an original fragrance, then a few years later they release the EdP which is slightly similar (flanker) but is still a different scent, this also labels the original as EdT even though it was never called that. Then a few years after THAT you release the parfum, or “intense” version which is -also- similar, but basically its own scent. Finally, the most recent progression, if the market isn’t burnt out and still likes it, you release the “elixir” version which again doesn’t require added longevity or projection, it merely a change in scent profile a 3rd time.

Also, anything that lasts less than 6 hours -above- skin scent level, isn’t a work of art.

> heritage, shalimar, cool water
love to hear it anon, Guerlain hasn't disappointed me yet so i will try to sample these. I was hesitant about trying Cool Water due to the stigma, I'll look for a vintage to sample.

Also consider trying Guerlain vetiver and eua de Guerlain. The classic guerlains are the best. The modern ones are alright too but are less interesting.

>>17955171
>Not expecting any response besides an attack on my sensibilities
that's a good selection (but you should work some on your self-confidence desu)
next steps:
check out more male Guerlain frags (Vetiver, Heritage, Homme, etc.)
Rogue is a great house (bonus points for the 30ml bottles), test Mousse Illuminee, Bon Monsieur, Chypre-Siam and Derviche first
get testers for male/unisex Nicolai frags as well, NYI is imo best for formal events (concerts, theater, exhibitions, etc.)

I personally fell in love with him after Mousse Illuminee, and I’ve been meaning to get a sample of Targhee Forest.
Bon Monsieur is also good, but it didn’t have the longevity of Mousse Illuminee. Depending on your tastes you could try Derviche (original), Chypre Siam, or Tabac Vert.
I haven’t tried everything by him, so definitely look at his other frags and if they look like something you would enjoy give them a shot.
