I bought Lattafa Asad and it smells nothing like Sauvage to me.
It was from a reputable store, so I don't think I got tricked.
Am I just crazy? Seriously it's not even close and it's certainly not good.

>SOTD: Escentric 04
i've been trying out the Escentric Molecules discovery set for the last couple of days
it's an interesting concept, the Molecule frags are quite educational (not necessarily wearable tho) and the Escentric line consists of well-blended crowd-pleasing frags (Ormonde Man could be one of the Escentric frags imo)

I thought it might be, but why would somebody make a non-existent perfume from a house like Gardoni's?
I have also seen 3 listings total, it's apparently a limited run of 30 bottles. So far I've found 18, 29 and one that doesn't have the packaging shown, but the paperwork that says it was created exclusively for a "small group of people." So it's likely a bespoke fragrance.

It has a slight resemblance, but Asad has SO MUCH VANILLA that it doesn't qualify as an Elixir clone. Elixir does not have vanilla, at all. Asad starts off somewhat similar to the beginning of the drydown of Elixir, then strays into vanilla gourmand territory. For me, it's like 50% Elixir and 50% generic vanilla amber oriental. I prefer Elixir.

>>17992186

by the metric of them not being close in scent profile to whats considered on trend in the past 30-40 years?
Chypre has evolved a lot, and most people don't even know that some of the modern masterpieces such as b540 or ganymede would be categorized as chypre.
As for the horrible wine analogy, let me counter it with whiskey analogy, for most of it's lifespan people used to drink whiskey unmatured, later it was matured in repurposed winecasks, and at some point aging in bourbon casks became the trend.
The product is still whiskey, however overtime due to different trends, laws, and circumstances it has changed.

Guys, let’s be real here. Every fragrance made by Quentin is unimaginative, played out and smells awful. I don’t get why people dick ride him so hard, especially since 99% of his olfactory creations have no rhyme or reason to them. They smell like A blind and deaf person with down syndrome had to describe the smell of a fragrance. People who like him only do so because they can’t stand to smell nice. I’m talking about the type of person that sprays on cat piss only to smell different, the type of person that can’t stand anything that actually smells good because they find it “mass appealing”. This, unfortunately seems to be a growing trend among the fragrance community, everyone always tries to one-up Another by wearing something incredibly bad smelling. The biggest irony is that those people most religiously hate on fragrances that have been made out to be bad like Dior Sauvage or Creed aventus. Sure, both of these fragrances cost more than they should, especially the latter, but at least they smell good. And that’s some thing that can’t be said about 99% of those garbage cash grabs like those Quentin and those other charlatans makes.

It was wild, one of the other customers was asking about the smell of oud, and we chatted a little bit about its scent and how she had guests from the Middle East in who brought some oud for her, and she just casually walks over to one of the display shelves and picks up these little driftwood looking chunks of wood and hands them to us, and tells us they’re oud.

On the one hand I can’t believe they’re real, but on the other, it’s a legit tiny niche shop that has frags from around the world, so she could 100% be telling the truth.

Alright Frag, I want some opinions.

I’m planning to get a single frag by Tauer, my collection is big enough already and I really don’t want/need any more than I have, but I do want -one- of his.

I’ve narrowed it down to LADDM and ACDD. They both have excellent performance, great scents, and they’re both relatively similar, Tauer even describing ACDD as the evolution of LADDM.
To me LADDM is a little lighter/spicier while ACDD is darker/more leathery.
I’m currently leaning LADDM because of the rest of my collection, and slightly because it’s (arguably) his biggest name frag.
What’s your opinion?

>I’m also willing to hear arguments for Sundowner, as it’s a very, very close third, but I was planning to go with a different frag for something sweet.

I'm thinking of buying the Tom Ford Ombre Leather, which would be my first fragrance.
Is it suitable even for younger/college aged men? When I tried it on in the store, I really liked the smell, but my mother basically told me I smelled like an old man (the fragrance was apparently too mature for me).
Is that something to be concerned about?
Also, I heard it's a winter fragrance, but how does it fare in the spring and summer?

[Anonymous No.17995170]

As a general life tip - don't try to jump ahead with maturity.
"Mature for his age" at 15 becomes weirdo at 25 and creeper at 35.
Fuck knows if the perfume will do that in this case, but sounds like it might. Don't become the "formal guy in his 20s mlady" retard.

I was tall & loud, so no gut punches. No girls either - weird that, huh.
Anyhow, if I remember correctly, the frag did have a little bit of an older thing going. Maybe you could pull it off, depends on your general style, I'd maybe put it off for a a bit. TF is also expensive for what it is & if you're buying your first frag your tastes might change - I know mine did. Maybe get a decant or a sample. Good you're thinking about this.
In my opinion it's more crucially the aromatic-woody frags that really don't fit a man under 30 today. "But classic gentleman" is code for neckbeard there.

Manuel Cross Chypre Noir For American Perfumer 1/75 limited edition signed bottles image courtesy of American Perfumer©

Indeed, Manuel Cross Chypre Noir For American Perfumer possesses a beautiful bone structure, and a lineage which is readily traceable to the greats of yore: vintage Cabochard de Gres, created by Bernard Chant in 1959 (musks, leather, oakmoss), and Germaine Cellier’s vintage Balmain Jolie Madame, 1953 (artemisia, tuberose, musk, oakmoss, leather). Both fragrances are growlingly animalic – but they utilize civet and/or castoreum in the process, whereas Manuel has chosen costus root – a potent vegetal musk which smells divinely of the unwashed scalp of the beloved. Once you become acquainted with costus, you will always remember it; it imparts an additional leatheriness that we associate with other musks, and it can help anchor a scent – so it performs double duty in Chypre Noir. Indolic, enchanting tuberose maintains its lustre here, never fading into the background (in the afore-mentioned leather chypres, one finds jasmine, ylang-ylang, and gardenia instead). Bitter herbs enhance its sophistication without the use of galbanum; while not listed, artemisia comes to mind immediately. Musk ketone is sweetly fatty and persistent, contributing a rondeur which is so appealingly reminiscent of great chypres; it feels as if the perfumer has not stinted on the oakmoss, either – always such a delight: earthy, shadowy, and rich.

Notes: herbs, tuberose, musk ketone, costus, oakmoss, leather

Who cares? Literally 97% of white women born after 1997 have had sex with a black man. It's no big deal... Why would you hate 97% of white women just because they've received pleasure from a massive, throbbing BBC?

I visited France and the atlantic coast is pristine. I don’t think I saw a single non white person. I visited Paris and stayed in champs elyse and worked in nueilly sur seine and it was also nice. I visited the Eifel tower and everything between that and Norte dame was dirty with niggers. Overall paris isn’t any worse than any other major European city like Berlin, Hamburg, etc.

Why is it always them? Why is Khamrah the new Sauvage/1 Million/AdG Profumo? I doubt it was "the real deal" (Angel's Share), but I didn't try to discern it further.

It depends on the cologne honestly. With stuff like Channel blue which has shit longevity, i usually do 2 sprays behind each ear, 1 behind the neck, 1 in front of neck. Then I spray the front of my shirt and shoulders as well as forearms and wrist. Possible 12 sprays total. If it's stuff like sauvage elixir just half, it'd be too overbearing. I made that mistake with an MFK fragrance once

nothing thats fruity or floral sweet.
Everything else is fine with ciggie smoke.
Also you can just start rolling your own ciggies from better tobacco for similiar price and you would stop stinking of cheap ciggs as well.

I know YSL La Nuit De L'Homme is terrible performance wise but I absolutely love the scent. I don't care if it's overrated or overdone. Should I pull the trigger and buy it or are there any dupes/similar frags with better performance?

[Anonymous No.17997849]

>>17997847
Just get the real thing. Treat it like a date night frag, where it only has to last a couple hours anyway. If it’s a skin scent at that point, no problem, since your date will be on top of you by then.

[Anonymous No.17997850]

Also... Is JPG Elixir actually that good? Is it worth getting if I have a variety of sweetish winter frags already? I can't believe it has a 4.6 on fragrantica. Is it super over hyped or legit? Macy's is 30 minutes from me so I haven't had a chance to go try it

I really don't get the hype for it. It's just le male but mixed with some generic stronger with you style caramely sweetblob.
The OG Le Male is way better. Get Sauvage Elixir or something if you want a nuclear modern clubber, it has more going for it.

Is OG Le Male really much more than a barbershop with added vanilla/tonka?

[Anonymous No.17997944]

>>17997870
it also has way more cinnamon and amber than usual for barbershops
and cardamom, cumin, mint... a pretty clever fragrance overall and the "sweetened up barbershop turned clubber" idea turned out to be a great success
OG Le Male was something new when it came out, the Elixir is more of the same bland sweet caramel extravaganza we've been bombarded with over the last decade
