I know you guys will rail me for liking Creed but fuck, I fell in love with both of them, I honestly couldnt believe I would like GIT, Im usually into really sweet, girly scents & stray away from the powdery & musky ones, but theres something about it.

what's your preferred way to apply cologne?

also CDG or YSL?

[Anonymous No.8592335]

>>8592307
>one spray between neck chest
>one spray on wrist, rub wrists together and dab behind ears

I haven't tried YSL but it gets praised here.
If you're gunna be next level, get CDG 2011.

[Anonymous No.8592392]

>>8592249
I tried that on yesterday, really liked how light and almost floral it seemed. They had YSL and Allure, but no samples

[Nyc6Hunnit-RR !!QLDNc6n+hyW No.8592394]

>>8592307
I spray like>>8592335 but I also spray my hair from a far, and just walk in it.

I have La Nuit, and it smells really good, I love the smell and get couple compliments here and there, its usually a night smell.

>>8591674
My father has Blue, and boy that shit smells good, I don't mind being around him when he sprays Blue instead of Curve/1Million.. Mother on other hand has couple Dior that smell fucking heavenly. I want some Dior home intense/Gucci pour home ll.

I like how this smells.

>>8592306
Green Irish Tweed just smells clean to me. I don't find it particularly interesting though. I quite like Aventus but I don't think everyone could pull it off

I can't believe you like Virgin Island Water but if you like that Tommy Bahama stuff then okay

>>8592307
I spray on wrists, tap once, behind ears and behind knees

And you can't judge houses like that. The scents tend to stand alone. Both have their own great scents and flops. I find CDG makes more interesting ones but you could easily buy a boring CDG scent (some of the Plays for example) or if you chose to get critical of the use of Patchouli you could rule out a lot of CDG.

[Anonymous No.8592488]

>>8592307
>what's your preferred way to apply cologne?
spray on chest, spray on wrists, tap wrists together then dab on neck, optional fourth spray on abs

>also CDG or YSL?
generally imo, CdG > YSL, but like >>8592476 said, it's best to judge fragrances on an individual basis

>doesn't like GIT
>likes Aventus
I found Aventus boring as shit, its literally just a fruity fragrance which you could substitute with Ralph Lauren Polo Black.
I liked VIW on a more novelty level. I havent smelt Tommy Bahama, Im buying it because Im too much of a jew to shell out money for VIW.

It's a safe choice, gets complimented and lasts quite well.

I recommend getting it.

[zachipster No.8594294]

I just got wonderwood and i love the way it smells but im not really sure it projects on me. Like i spray a couple of sprays on my neck and it smells really strong at first, but when it dries that wonderful basenote seems really, really faint. Do i just need to spray more or does cologne just not work on some people?

[Nyc6Hunnit-RR !!QLDNc6n+hyW No.8594355]

>>8594294
You get used to the smell, so if you really want to smell that base you have to put your nose right to your skin and really take a whiff. Each person has different body chemistry to the colognes.

[Anonymous No.8594374]

>>8594060
Id decline because that bottle has probably been up your ass you faggot.

[zachipster No.8594436]

>>8594355
still not really smelling anything. All i get is the ocassional random whiff

[Anonymous No.8594456]

>>8594436
you're not supposed to smell yourself; after awhile, you get used to it and unconsciously ignore it but others can still smell it. also, all frags drydown to a skin scent eventually and I like those occasional whiffs toward the middle and end of a fragrance's progression. it's like a sudden, fresh breeze.

if that's not what you want, try to get stuff with a strong sillage and projection. be careful though, smelling too strong almost always leaves a terrible impression

[Anonymous No.8595134]

Bought my first "real" cologne yesterday on a whim. YSL Le Nuit De L'Homme. What do you guys think about that scent?

>>8592249
Sampled this yesterday and it didn't work for me. It seemed almost too faint.

[Anonymous No.8595158]

>>8592489
Doesn't smell gay I can assure you, its a less cloying version of New Haarlem with a hint of Givenchy Play intense minus the rubber note.

[Anonymous No.8595289]

Day to day I usually wear 1 Million or Dsquared Rocky Mountain.

Other than that I have a bunch of samples from MDCI, Tom Ford, Atelier Cologne, CDG, Phaedon etc... that I wear on occasion.

The thing I have noticed is the immense disparity between the opinions of /fa/ and of the general public. For instance, if I put on some 1Million I get compliments from a ton of people, but if I put on say MDCI Cuir Garamante then a lot of people will say that it's a perfume for someone older (I am 22).

/fa/ seems to often get trapped in this vicious cycle of shitting on anything remotely popular and as such idealizes things that are exclusive either due to their rarity, relative unpopularity, their price, or all of the above.

Just wear what you like, don't worry about some idiot on the internet calling you a plebeian for using a perfume that isn't $300 per bottle.

started drinking drakkar after breastfeeding - we couldn't afford formula but its pretty nutricious

[Anonymous No.8597159]

I chose this to be my primary scent after trying the other three. Got numerous compliments from both sexes. Green Irish Tweed would be great but I felt it was a bit more older and formal, and Millesime Imperial I really liked but felt that scent was more 'debonair' and required that I wear a flamboyant suit to a fancy dinner, which never happens. I tried looking at other scents, but Aventus just gets me, especially the Pineapple scent. I love Pineapples. Plus, I don't think it's going around too much since it's quite expensive, and not even scent snobs around my area to give me shit about it.

Also, I tried a sample of A*Men Pure Malt once. It was too sweet for me, I felt like someone threw a cupcake at me. But I met this very pretty girl wouldn't stop smelling me, like she would stop and take a whiff every five minutes and was awfully wet down there about it when we fucked, and I guess that's a really really good thing.
