One million is very pleb tier. I personally the smell but the entire fragrance is ruined by teens/ethnics nearly killing me with it. Its potent so id reccommend 2 sprays max.

I recently bought some ysl la nuit de l'homme, I'm a pleased but a little disappointed with longevity

Also could any of you suggest a nice long lasting summer fragrance

Three sprays is a fine amount, usually don't want to do more unless the fragrance is on the weak side. I usually spray on the chest and wrist(s), rub wrists together then rub on sides of my neck. Sometimes add a third/fourth spray on my abs.

[Anonymous No.8495483]

>>8495426
Depends on the fragrance.

Always start with two at most. If it dies too quickly, add another spray, or just respray later in the day.

You do not want to have the attitude of "I should be able to smell it on me all day long", because that means everybody else can smell you, and a fragrance is meant to mix with your natural body odour, not replace it.

It's really a classic. I don't think it could ever really go out of style, but as you said it's definitely not really like the new "young" fragrances.

Ive tried it, not exactly my style, doesnt suit me but it smells good, pretty much a timeless smell. I say go for it, if it suits you. The ladies love it too, or so I've heard (some won't of course).

the upside is that you can get it for dirt cheap online.

[Anonymous No.8504929]

I've been sampling guys frags in dept stores over the last 2 days because I want to cop but fuck a blind buy. wi

Pleb opinions commence:
L'eau D'Issey : nope, theres a note in there reminiscent of bathroom cleaning solution. I wasn't the only one to pick up on this, had others with me sampling and they didn't rate it either.

Issey Yuzu: I swear this shit barely smells at all, hella faint, but I probably fucked up so whatever.

Chanel Allure: too aggressive / strong for me, brings to mind jock dudes in da club cruising for fuck

Bleu de Chanel: possible cop, seems very clean and fresh. Probably not very exciting but I'm not going for anything too powerful or flamboyant so it fits the bill.

Terre D'Hermes: seems crisp and sharp, doesn't have a "fresh" scent like BdC but seems similarly inoffensive, will possibly cop.

YSL L'Homme is nice whereas La Nuit is too powerful for me. The "seductive" or "alluring" frags don't really do it for me. I'm starting to see a pattern here, perhaps I'm a fucking faggot.

1 million: 1 million a shit. This isn't powerful or seductive, more like overly flamboyant and playful. It's like "SMELL ME :D I SMELL FUN DON'T I? :DDDdd" I'm not on that attention seeking grind so NOPE.

Bear in mind that I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.

P-please respond

[Anonymous No.8504966]

>>8504929
Spot on about 1 Million, and I mostly agree with you about the rest. I think L'Homme is fairly bland and forgettable though, and that La Nuit de L'Homme, while warm and boozy, is great for cool nights and cold weather. In late spring or summer, it will definitely be overwhelming.

[Anonymous No.8504991]

you seem to have narrowed it down to Bleu and Terre. see if you can get take home samples of both. if not, take two more days, one for each fragrance, and actually wear it on your skin and see which you like more after that.

I appreciate the input. As suggested I'll hold off on buying until I can try Terre / Bleu again. And I agree, i found YSL l'homme underwhelming even though it was pleasant. It didn't seem to have much character compared to all the others.

As a final contribution I've worn Paco Rabanne Pour Homme almost exclusively for a long time (literally babbys first fragrance.) I've found that it smells distinctly more old-school compared to the more modern ones I've been sampling. It's masculine, not powerful but not playful either. I'm starting to think its just a slightly "old-fashioned" scent, not that that's necessarily bad. It doesn't seem to last or project very well, and I'm reasonably sure others around me only get a faint hint of it when it's freshly applied and don't smell it at all as the day goes on. I think I need to apply it more aggressively.

The Private Blend series are supposed to be a separate niche but since some TF fragrances have gone mainstream, people assume the entire collection is meant to be. It's like how Chanel has all of its mainstream frags but still put a bit more thought into "Les Exclusifs." Of the Tom Ford PL, I like Tobacco Vanille and Tuscan Leather best.

I think you misunderstand what "niche" means. It's not some special line of fragrances from designers, cosmetic companies, luxury goods producers, etc., and it's not indicative of quality, accessibility, or originality. It just refers to scents made by fashion houses that work almost exclusively in fragrance, e.g. Le Labo, Creed, Etat Libre d'Orange.

Just spray it on your wrist and smell it every 15 minutes to learn how the scent reacts to your skin and evolves (or devolves) over time.

>Also could any of you suggest a nice long lasting summer fragrance
Something vetivery.

Guerlain's Vetiver is good.
Creed's Vetiver I'm undecided on. It's more synthetic smelling than the above, but for some reason I kinda like that.

For something more heavy, good old Polo green. Smells like buggery in a hedge amongst the grass shavings after a round of soccer.

I know right? I got a sample of it at Nordstrom and it's probably one of my new favorite fragrances.

What's everyone's opinon of Creed's Green bogIrish Tweed?

Every time I smell it it's different. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I can't fucking stand it.

This is actually wearing it around for a few hours.

Or just go to this website to test every single niche fragrance as possible and give your own opinion on them.
I tried MDCI, Amuage, Creed, "Tom Ford", Etat Libre, and Le Labo.
My favorite was MDCI Invasion Barbare and Amuage Jubilation XXV, and Creed Green Irish Tweed.
The rest didn't fit my skin as well, but I really feel Invasion is my personal favorite for now.
Still haven't tried more though. Planning soon though.

USE THIS WEBSITE AT ALL COSTS FOR NICHE FRAGRANCES.

not really, not with those same notes anyway as that's what makes it an evening scent. you could try l'homme, l'homme libre, and l'homme sport since they are from the same line, but i wasn't too impressed with any of them (btw, imo, l'homme libre > l'homme > l'homme sport)

stereotypically, feminine scents are sweet, floral, and/or light musky perfumes, but gendering in fragrance is more of a consumer guideline than anything else. if you like the way something smells and you can pull it off, go for it.

>spring/summer
light, clean, crisp fragrances. usually citrusy, floral, marine, ozonic, and/or relatively weaker woods and spice notes

>fall/winter
heavy, dark, warm fragrances. commonly ambery, boozy, smoky, leathery, and/or stronger woods and spices. sometimes reminiscent of incense, not necessarily in scent but how it lingers in the air.

it's really pretty intuitive, so much so i don't think you really need much in the way of experience to figure out when and where a scent would be most appropriate (weather and occassion are important to consider), though a little familiarity with different notes and types of fragrance definitely will help
