fuck niche u feel me?

>>13987194
Dylan Blue more compliments than any "amazing" actual shit niche fragrances out there

>>13987204
chad designer miasma vs. virgin niche sniff

>>13987204
why compare the two? if you are interested in compliments dont even bother with niche. except for aventus apparently

Taking best if hookeranon will smash the /frag/ Queen.

Also, recommend me some out of box vanilla frags. So bored of numerous alcoholic rum/cognac or green patchouli/mint twists. Thinking of getting Sylvain Delacourte sample box, but they seem to be all women frags.

>>13987240

Histoire de Parfums 1725

>>13987255
I know Casanova too well and am bored by it as well. It's just a classic fougere accord with tonka replaced by vanilla. Virgile by Sylvaine Delacourte seems more promising with lavender replaced by sage that I love but it might be a bit too rustical blend having in mind that there's also thyme there.

New cop
Thoughts?

>>13987267
fucking pic

>>13987271
Tempted to try it and see but if it's so similar to individuel, I might not bother with it

What is /frag/ stance on Creed? Do they have any perfumes actually worth the price or all of their perfume target at aspiring Niche-John-Does just as Aventus does?

>>13987240
Don’t get too excited. I won’t be back in Europe until the fall, and it’s somewhat of a longshot that she even escorts. I’ll sure try, though.

And Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille. Technically leans feminine, but it’s very snice. The beeswax note gives it this very interesting slightly woody, waxy thing that’s very enjoyable. Keeps it from becoming too candy sweet.

>>13987271
boring

It's disappointing that so many people have fell for the "compliments" meme. They aren't real.

>>13987286
There are a few autistic anti-Creed fags (and some equally autistic anti-niche in general fags), so expect a lot of shitposting in response.

In my opinion, Creed is overpriced if you’re paying retail, but they’re readily available on discount sites. Royal Oud is a great woody/spicy scent. Viking is a very snice mature spicy, minty vetiver. MI is a great all-rounder, great compliment getter, though performance is meh.

Overall, they have some quality scents if you ignore all the fake history silliness and don’t pay retail.

>>13987305
>Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille
Interesting but idk if I'll be able to stand the coconut note. Not a big fan

What are the best apple frags? I wore this in high school and liked it for the apple.

>>13987351
I really don’t get much coconut. It’s more like coconut husk, I really don’t find there to be a noticeable coconut note.

Give it a sample sometime, see what you think.

>>13987410
I'll test it next time I'll pay a visit to Harrods. Thanks

>>13987305
What do you typically write to such girls that doesn't admit openly to escort? Do you try to allure them in escorting promising gifts or just do business as usual and openly ask out of the blue?

>>13987439
From my limited experience having a good instagram persona and sliding into DMs in a non-creepy way that is more interesting than "hey!/[smileemoji]" is enough to catch attention of some girls with less than 10k followers. Even them, have dozens of thirsty dudes hitting on them though. Dating a model and seeing the attention they get was probably the biggest redpill for me. However, I don't know much how to carry on from there to seal the deal.

I'm looking for a sweet apple frag, should i just go with Only the Brave extreme?

>>13987439
I don’t, personally, I just use agencies. As I said last thread, the main one I use employs quite a few models. I’d just ask, though. Be polite but direct. Make sure she knows you’re serious. If it’s something she does, she’ll let you know. If not, ah well. Plenty of other models out there who does.

>>13987475
Try 24 Ice Gold.

>>13987191
Anyone know of a fragrance that smells like this shit?

Is the fragrancenet ebay store down? Seems like they have 0 products listed, not sure if it is because I'm not in the US

Asking again, got no (You)s last thread: Can you guys can you recommend something new to try based on these?

lmao straight from the horses mouth. I knew you stinky fucks secretly knew you stink and try to justify dropping nasty coin on shit water by looking down on people who actually smell GOOD

Byredo Pulp is the ultimate apple-fruit scent.
I get a nice bit of apple out of Azzaro Wanted, which is much more affordable.

>>13987286
even at grey market they aren't worth the price. They are just okay scents and none seem to last long that I've tried. more for nouveau riche

>>13987752
Which have you tried?
Aventus, Royal Water, and GIT last all day. Royal Oud is also above average. MI and Silver Mountain Water are only moderate performers.
>nouveau riche
Yeah let's just parrot everyone else's line about Creed.

Would a frag be a reasonable way to boost a fit from normie status (denim jacket, breton top, jeans and flashy trainers) into an interesting fit or aesthetic?

>>13987876
>Yeah let's just parrot everyone else's line about Creed.
>implying he's incorrect

>>13987608
They closed there ebay shop for now. Hopefully it is temporary. I was really liking those pre-owned bottle drops.

how am i doing lads? only been exploring frags for a very short time. i had the same boss bottled for 2 years before.

next cop will probably be a malin + goetz frag but i haven't decided yet, my local store has dark rum, cannabis and vetiver. they're all amazing. going to try a few darker diptyque edps today and see which ones i like

>>13988533
that's actually a pretty solid collection.

>>13988295

their first fragrance was made for a man who died in 1820

>>13988653
Not a single bottle or anything else to prove that in existence. Whereas you can find as old guerlain bottles as you wish. Peculiar, isn't it? How does it feel to buy frags from a house that made up its whole history just to be more attractive to Niche-John-Does and /r/fragrance? Embarrassing to have any bottle desu

Creed is a meme

>>13988688
I beg to differ

I'm not a prostitute :)

copped belcam classic match versions of drakkar noir, obsession and polo green earlier today at the behest of another anon from walmart. these are pretty legit. harsh in the opening but the mellow out soon after. beast projection and sillage from all three.

>>13988688
Glad that I am not the only one to notice this. I would’ve been okay with this if only they wouldn’t charge a shit ton of money for their bottles

>>13988721
Um....me neither?

>>13988721
Post on your Insta if it’s really you.

>>13988751
Yeah, shit is ridiculous. I wouldn't care at all but I'm heavily triggered by seeing a company wanting to make a buck on a made up history.

>>13988782
All that pretence with printing portraits of probably some randos and 1760 all over their boxes and bottles makes me cringe

>>13988782
Jesus you stupid. It’s not about their history or whatever. It’s just that people fall for this cheap trick. There are plenty of other relatively new houses that produce fragrances without making up some ridiculous story. And they are doing pretty okay.

>>13988782
same bro

>>13988792
Check posts of fags on /r/fragrance using "History", "Heritage" as commas in their posts about Creed. I don't claim that they fall for the history in the first place, they rather fall for smart Creed's marketing aiming at aspiring middle class. However, after getting a bottle they are condescending towards everyone thinking that they participate in some Old World from 18th century. Literally the definition of nouveau riche

>>13988721
Hey Alex, a big fan here. Please come here more often, it's so snice and refreshing

>>13988792
Do you want proof why CREED IS A SHITTER brand? Look up how many hollywood jew celebs wear that shit. Total queer bugman brand.

Literally no one buys a bottle of Creed fragrance and thinks they’re suddenly aristocracy. I’ve literally never once seen someone here act like they’re better than anyone else because they own a bottle of Aventus. You faggots are inventing a victim complex over nothing.

We buy Creed frags because we like them. No one except complete brainlets are fooled by the phone history, and those are the same sort of idiots who buy fancy bottled water because it has a French name or some shit.

Why are you faggots so obsessed with always having an us vs them thing going? Some people enjoy niche scents, some enjoy designer, some enjoy both. All are fine, and no one here says otherwise other than in your imagined headcanon.

Now shut the fuck up and stop shitting up my /frag/! This isn’t /b/ or /pol/, we get along and have snice discussions here!

Redpill me on RL Safari.
Outdated fougere, or alternative to Sauvage?

>>13988097
Its a sauvage clone

>>13988097
It’s not out yet, just the Kickstarter. They’re apparently testing it for stability or something right now. It’s supposed to ship in April at some point.

But yeah, from the note breakdown, seems like it’ll be a mix of Sauvage and Dior Homme Eau.

It got a lot of hate on fragrantica, but it really smells snice. Smokey, leather, wood, subtle green notes. It's comfy and since, I suggest coping a sample. Mugler is pretty generous with them, email them.

I found a 100ml tester of Black XS and Adnan B. Ambre Noir 100ml. Both are around 20-25ish dollars each. Are these any good? I'm kinda low on money but they both seem breddy gud, any anons that have experience with them?

what are your guys thoughts on molecule 01 is it worth it or should i just buy a iso e super mix on ebay?

is there anything similar to MMM jazz club?

Bentley For Men Intense, Mugler Pure Malt.

I figure an amber bomb would suit me since I love it in frags, be it subtle in BDC EDP or strong ambroxan in Dylan Blue, Sauvage etc.
Any recs?

>>13990607
3/10. You tried.

>>13988984
>>13989021
I thought the neckbeard pronunciation was "terry derms"

I'm the piece of shit who got high and impulse bought three 100ml bottles of Mariah Carey's M.

It's pleasantly surprising - a simple combo of toasting marshmallows and warm incense with a base of tiare and sea air. The notes are true and not immediately 'fake flowers and sugar.'

The reason I came back to mention it is that it's arguably the best frag I have ever smelled on a man.
My partner gave himself a few sprays as a joke and it really is perfectly unisex, which I haven't noticed before in a sweet gourmand.

>The bottle is ugly as shit, though.

They weren't kidding, I copped a sample of kryptomint and I have a bottle of ultra zest. They're the same damn fragrance, except kryptomint has some mint in the top as opposed to citrus. I have one sprayed on one hand, the other on my other. In 20 minutes, I probably will not be able to tell the difference.
Just buy one or the other, they fill the same niche.

>>13989829
what do you think of it? Egoiste was my first frag that wasn't dirt cheap and I fucking love it

THIS BETTER NOT TAKE A MONTH TO ARRIVE

>>13990486
there's literally no difference between molecule 01 and an iso e super dilution except for concentration maybe. get the mix on ebay, im sure they have it down to a science

>>13988230
they usually mean it smells like whiskey, rum, sometimes gin. it doesnt mean literally like simple ethanol

>>13987726
Jesus christ what's your damage? I've gotten more compliments on Jubilation XXV and Invasion Barbare than anything else I own. I also don't look down on anyone wearing designer or cheapos, I have some in my collection as well.

Any frags out there that are fruity, boozy, and woody?

>>13990640
Ambroxan isn't amber

>>13990486
Literally no difference if you'll mix it with Perfumers alcohol. Get ISO from a legit producer, though.
>>13991278
Good deal, but what if I told you that you can get it for $3?

Not him, but when would you say it’s appropriate? I love amber but I have several fragrances already and I don’t know what gaps it could fill.

Samples will arrive today uWu-guu :33

>>13992102
Honestly anything. It's a refined take on amber and despite having quite heavy notes it's not a heavy fragrance at all. Could easily dress it up or down depending on what you wanted.

Had this collection for ages, thinking of maybe adding fahrenheit because I don't have any spicy frag. What do anons think, what am I missing?

Guys which ysl la nuit de l'homme? toilet, perfum or intense? Or maybe I should go for classic like blue de chanel? I am 20y old but I am tired of using clubbing fragnances like eros and ultramale

>>13992209
all trash other than adg profumo, doubt you will like fahrenheit.

>>13992217
Edt if you must but none are particularly compelling

>>13992218

that's funny because adg has gotten me the least compliments out of all of them. Sauvage in the day time and girls compliment every-time I go out with code. I tried fahrenheit when I was out shopping, didn't like it at first but it grew on me throughout the day and I ended up loving it. What frag aren't trash according to you anon?

>>13992225
love fahrenheit drydown.

>>13992221
So should I go for ysl, dolce the one, ch priv or blue de chanel?

>>13992249
remove dolce the one its nothing special
i dont know about ysl but ch priv and bleu de chanel are good choices

>>13992164
Molecule 01 is NOT Iso E Super. It's a different, proprietary molecule. I don't trust homebrew Iso E solutions. The IFRA reduced the maximum allowable content of Iso E in commercial perfumes for a reason.

Are there any fragrances out there that actually have a psychological effect on people?
Does Hedione actually have an effect or is it just a meme?

>>13992225
using compliments as a metric of quality lol. try youtube "jeremyfragrance" kiddo, might be more your speed

>>13992249
Not a fan of any of those, have you tried Dior Homme? Fills the same niche but at a much higher level imo

>>13992469
dude we literally only wear fragnances to get compliments from other people

>>13992472
nah

>>13992472
No, not everyone does. You do, and that’s fine, but some people wear fragrance for themselves, and that’s fine too.

Can we cut the elitism on both sides, please? It does not improve these threads.

>>13992469
What else am I supposed to say? I chose those fragrances because I liked the smell, compliments come second to that but I'm not going to say >I like them so actually you're wrong. People like you just call everything 'trash' or 'cringe' with no reasoning like there's something objectively good out there. What you mean is you personally don't like it, which is completely fair and understandable. Then I asked you what you actually do like and instead of expressing yourself and being positive you just said >le reddit.

>>13992469
This isn’t helpful. We’re here to discuss frags, not have dick waving contests. Maybe /pol/ or /b/ might be more your speed, kiddo.

>>13992491
Don’t worry about him. Just one of our many resident autists.

>>13992370
You're retarded and have no idea what are you taking about. There is even a research paper analysing content of iso in different perfumes where you can check the ingredients. No its not 100% iso. It's mixed with perfumers alcohol as all frags are. Retard

>>13992491
you asked for opinions, i think other than adg profumo the frags you listed are aggressive poorly balanced synthetic messes composed of FOTM focus group tier aromachemicals. this is most definitely not an objective hobby yet there are still ways to qualitatively assess the merits of a perfume, like with most mediums. i like most vintage guerlains btw, mitsouko being my favourite.

>>13992493

Just grabbed a new bottle of Cape Heartache for around $80. Sends me right back to scout camping in the fall: damp, woody, a little flowery? Damn anybody else find a frag that gives you feels?

I wore Carlisle to work today (just two sprays under layered clothes) and received positive comments from three female coworkers, one of whom clearly wants to smash. This has been a Parfums de Marly public service announcement.

Anyone like Clinique Happy for men? Any others like it?

What notes do you lads get smell?
Is it a heavy scent?

>>13994649
I wouldn't say it's a heavy scent but it definitely punches above its weight for an EDT. For me it's predominantly a rich woody accord with a rose note throughout and eventually it dries down to an almost pure sandalwood

>>13994520

Basically on Fragrantica, there was a poster that used to make alts to agree with their own reviews, idk if they've resurfaced but their typing style and sentence structure stick out like a sore thumb.

>>13993917
I keep meaning to get a sample of Carlisle, heard nothing but good things.

>>13994283
My first perfumes were little sample bottles of Dior Dune and Givenchy Organza when I was about 5, as a novelty/joke.

I'm certain this is what started my lust for floriental carnation bombs, to be desu.

So far sampled:
Encre noire - weird subtle vetiver, projects weirdly good but is really subtle smell over all 3/5
Encre noire sport - hate that 'sporty' smell also small projection and not a good smell 2/5
ELDO Fat electrician - Like encre noire but a lot bigger volume in smell. This is pretty good.
Complex smell with pretty good silage 4/5
The different company Sel de vetiver - nothing to write home about. Bad vetiver and "salt" 1/5
ELDO Je suis un homme - Nasty bergamot zests and piss. very dry smell 2/5
Rasasi La yuqawam - ashy leather and suede. hard to imagine getting complimented with this 3.5/5

>>13995024
Adding that I get headache from both Encre noires. Could be that Iso-E
If u want vetiver frag, go with Fat Electrician it is pretty special.. Or just guerlain vetiver

>>13995032
Yeah fat electrician is great isn't it. I keep meaning to pick up ELDO's sample set.

>>13995024
You might like chanel sycomore to add on to what >>13995032 said, very snice smoky vetiver

>>13995066
I am looking for a all-year frag emphasis on the summer. Want to pick up fat electrician but don't know if it would be too cloying.
Own: fahrenheit edt, ideal edp but these are pretty wintery both. maybe fahrenheit is doable in small doses in summer

>>13995066
sycomore is too expensive for me

>>13995085
Guerlain vetiver is pretty suitable all year round imo, especially in summer due to the fresh citrus top notes

>>13995198
fml don't have any store nearby that has it so wouldn't be able to test..
only smelled it few years back

Give me your favourite summer evening scent, preferably something with musk

>>13987192
will this ever be updated with newer scents?

>>13990258
i really liked bois de vetiver and fleur de pecher. cheap and great smelling, but certainly not great performance. you get what you pay for. bois de vetiver is really easy to wear.

Ordered Creed Green Irish Tweed and Creed Royal Mayfair.
Finally arrived today.
While I'm extremely happy with Royal Mayfair and I might even cop a bottle, Green Irish Tweed is a fucking disappointment. It smells like some cheap axe or old spice.

Anybody got versace eros?

Is the cap meant to be wobbly on top of the bottle?
Mine will click but doesn't sit firmly, instead it's "loose", which i think is weird.

Is this just the design of the cap or is there a production error?

>>13995304
Such as?

>>13995381
creed is shit

>>13995381
Why didnt you just get Cool Water? Pierre Bourdon literally made it as the EDT version of the Creed because he knew how much of a ripoff they were, even in the 80s.

>>13995508
Because it's not an option on Notino.

>>13995269
Lalique White

Anyone in the UK used fragrancedirect at all?

>>13995269
SMW and creed in general have amazing musk

What frags smell like gasoline?

>>13995602

>>13995419
There are no new frags worth adding to it. He probably means newer memes. The dumbass probably wants to see Eros/TdH/1Million flankers on it to make it seem current.

1-3 sprays in total or 1-3 sprays per area? (Wrists, neck, etc)

>>13995582
Welp, guess I'm retarded.

>>13995626
per area, try to get something like 8-10sprays in total

>>13995024
>Sel de Vetiver
>1/5
Get a load of this noselet

>>13995648
Also, keep trying GIT. It seems like a "cheap axe or old spice" to you because it was this fragrance DNA that created the accords you're used to smelling today. Over the course of a full day wearing it warms up beautifully with iris and ambergris notes. But yeah, the opening is max dihydromyrcenol detergent smell. Read more about it here
https://frompyrgos.blogspot.com/2013/08/dihydromyrcenol-understanding-evolution.html

mfw I fell for a low price and most likely bought a fake perfume

>>13995750

>>13995608
TdH is an excellent idea. You're a noselet fag if you disagree.

EU bros - any idea or tips on what you'd call a good price on some Parfums de Marly or Amouage bottles? I'm thinking about copping a few that i've sampled (pegasus, layton + jubilation, reflection), but as a matter of principle want to get a decent deal

>>13995799
>>13995608
TdH is there

>>13995707
It's really uncomfortable smell. Among the worst in vetiver category

What female frags should I check out at the Guerlain boutique in Vegas? Any specific samples to look out for?

>>13995415
Mine spins but isn’t wobbly.

>>13995799
TdH is for fuckboi man children trying to larp as productive adults by wearing babby's first "grownup" (i.e. not eros/curve) frag. Fuck TdH and all the pathetic faggots who unironically enjoy it.

>>13996154
I'm not even a guy and I love TdH so much I bought some just to use around the house or convert any guy I meet. TdH is a masterpiece in its class, you are just being a contrarian fuck.

>>13987192
>>13995304
speaking of this, i wonder whether there's any chanve the van cleef fags will ever bring back their midnight in paris featured in this graph?

been eyeing and bidding on ebay here and there to no avail for a decent deal, but may just blind buy at a ripoff price for peace of mind desu (never tried but it's been compared to endymion concentre which i love)

Does anyone else have a local indie fragrance store that offers the option of a smaller refillable decanter for any of their scents? I feel like I am cheating by using them for lux fragrances for $15 refills on pretty much everything in the store. I can't remember the oz, but the are the generic spray cylinders about an inch wide and 6" long.

>>13996173
That bottle looks beautiful and the name sounds nice. Always wanted to buy it.
They say Bvlgari Black smells similar. Is it true?

>>13995883
140-160euros on amouage usually.
>>13996173
Overhyper just because the bottle looks nice and it's discontinued. It's not worth it, sold my bottle recently.

>>13995919
Again, super pleb opinion. Sel is an excellent vetiver, coming from someone with many bottles in the category. Come back to it when you have more experience.

Is this drydown "brightness" coming out of Chanel no 5 parfum on my skin the ylang-ylang or the citrus? It's really amazing but I don't get it with anything other than parfum.

>>13996448
How often do women love leather scents? I might expand my fall/winter decant collection with some...

>>13996475
It needs to be a "sweet" leather smell, very specifically like a new leather coat or high-end handbag. Might be hard but if you go to a Chanel or Hermes boutique and smell the inside of a new bag you will get an idea. Needs to be mixed with something non-funky like the vanilla in Uomo Intense not your typical "masculine leather" scents.

>>13996167
Don't ever think your opinion means anything more than Jack shit you stupid cunt. No wonder you're such a pleb, you're a stupid woman who knows fuck all about anything. Nobody here cares what shit-tier frag gets you to spread your putrid gash for whatever basedboi faggot you're fucking that day. Maybe I'm a contrarian fuck, but you're an insufferable bitch who obviously needs to get slapped around a bit because it's apparent nobody has ever put you in your place you stupid fuck.

I’m legitimately embarrassed to be a /frag/ regular knowing that you post here.

>>13994508
imho oud in a frag like that is kind of a new thing. Like, a little too new school. Daddy Trump is a classic, traditional guy. That said,I don't really have a better suggestion. Leather Oud is definitely on the right track, though.

>>13996580

This is maybe the most autistic post ever in a general that hosted such autistic luminaries as Samplesperg, Spergtrepreneur, and that midget /pol/fag pedophile with rotten teeth.

Well done. I am genuinely impressed with the sheer, unbridled power of your autism.

Step aside, plebs.

My mum is running out of Armani Code which she uses for evenings out at dinner and work parties and the like and I'd like to get her something different to replace it.
She loves Flowerbomb, which I got her for work, and Be Delicious for summer.
What would be the right frag for her?

>>13996830
She might like l'instant de guerlain, it's mostly a honeyed magnolia with a touch of iris

Is there a reason my skin eats fragrances? Seriously like even the dankest purfume oils vanish with little trace after a few hours.

>>13996830
Maybe Balenciaga Florabotanica. Bought me mum a bottle a while back and she loves it. Wears it every day.

>>13996898
Totally serious question, do you bathe?

>>13996967
Every night before bed. I do have drier skin I guess, but it vanishes even from areas I've used lotion or hand cream.

>>13996971
Olfactory fatigue, have you asked others if they can smell you?

>>13996985
I guess that must be it. I should probably take a break from fragrance for a few days.

>>13997015
I've never been able to smell a fragrance through its full duration, sometimes I just get wafts after a while.

based or cringe

>>13996898
What scents do you typically wear? I have a hundred bottles that will last for a full work day and then some, remaining noticeable to myself and others for the entire duration.
>perfume oils
This concerns me because oils a) don't project very well and b) are usually cheapies or clones which aren't going to last as long as professionally formulated EdPs with strong fixative molecules.

Best floral fragrance in the men's game?

Just a heads-up to you poorfags, shopgoodwill.com holds auctions for their perfume inventory, and a lot of top brands end up selling for next to nothing. Even more so for obscure men's cologne.

>>13987641
I own Sartorial, love it. If you wanna stay in that brands lane try their portait collection. Sohan or The Duke are right up your alley.

>>13994307
good for you anon I'm still using the last little bit of Armani Code I got from my first love

>>13994407
Actually yes. Yes I am. Gucci is by far my favorite designer and while it's current men clothes under Alessandro and Daper Dan are a bit too flamboyant and immature for my taste I feel like that youthful energy would translate better into fragrances. I'm hyped as fuck boi!!!

>>13997170
>Gucci is by far my favorite designer

>>13997177
>don't like things that I don't like

>>13997177
Look I'm a simple guy I love their suits especially their Prince of Wales from last year. You're fronting if you don't think they have the best patterned button ups in the game. But I really adore the vibrancy of the women's line. Like if I'm to be real I'd rock more Tom Ford over Gucci if I had the cash but as a design house I love Gucci's stuff more. Also since we're on the subject of clothing lined going into frags I've read NOTHING but bad things about the McQueen scents. Which is a downer as I love this stuff too.

>>13997204
Thanks by the way

>fragrance I've been waiting a week for finally comes today

Favorite affordable masculine/unisex tuberose scents?

yes/no/maybe
Any other samples? Just skimmed the thread.

I know those feels.

>>13997610
Was also going to try Mariah Carey's M based off what >>13990883 said, but there's no samples (it is only 15 dollars, but still.)
>>13997612
we'll get through it.

Just tested it on the airport and that's the single most boomer perfume in existence. What are other typical boomer frags?

any of the L'Eau D'Issey flankers worth the time of day?

>>13996511
Based and redpilled

>>13996205
Bvlgari Black is nowhere near as nice as MiP. They share maybe 60% similar DNA

>>13987191
Can i get a rate my dudes haha

>>13993073
God damn my dad used to wear this 20 years ago, I bet if I got a whiff of that I'd fall into a nostalgia coma.

Ordered what I could find from the sticky, then just started adding different stuff until I hit the free shipping. Did I do okay? I probably should have asked before ordering but it's too late now.

I've tried a pretty large number of perfumes in my lifetime, but pic related is the only one that turns to magic on my skin.

It's probably turbopleb tier, right?

Have you helped Jeremy hit 1 Million dollars yet /frag/?

>Discover my holy grail of frags.

I'm currently buying every bottle of Chloe Narcisse I can find locally. I think 250ml should last me a few years of occasionally wear.

Anyone knows a similar scent to this? I have gotten more compliments on wearing this than anything else.

>>13998075
just buy a body spray version

>>13997730
this desu i wanna know too. b&bw frags are cheap as fuck, I wanna know it's performance though

>>13997833
Most of that stuff is easily found in any sephora or macy's, no need to pay for samples of normal stuff.

>>13997610
welcome to womanhood.

fug ima have to order aqva amara and la yuqawam. arsenal is growing pretty fast desu

Aqua Velva. Old Spice for men. For women I would say Chanel no 5, but its timeless and I think it skipped a generation because all the boomer ladies I know say it smells too "grandma" and they want something light and "fun" as they enter their 60s.

Anyone else here find Bond No. 9 scents to be very cheap smelling? I finally got a chance to sample a whole bunch of them and I was not impressed. To me, they smelled like cheap designer fragrances, very synthetic and not at all sophisticated. I was very disappointed, since I’m a nichefag and heard great things about the brand.

>>13998351
Amara is nice, have you smelled the og aqva? I think it's the best aquatic.

>>13998219
My ex used to wear b&bw frags. I wasn’t super into frags at the time, so I didn’t pay a ton of attention, but she did sometimes complain that they didn’t last, so I guess longevity may not be too good.

>>13998399
>so I guess longevity may not be too good.
I find this to be the case with basically any indie or small house perfumery. Great scents in the bottle, but basically no effort when it comes to duration or silage. They just tell you to apply more often which I guess turns into buying more even faster.

Hello /fa/

I'm looking for a fragrance recommendation.

What I am aiming for is something like this: I love oud wood in general, and I am looking for oud wood smell. From all that I've tried I probably like tom ford oud wood, but something more subtle (and cheaper). My fav smell is Amouage memoir man tho, in which I love the incense with more fresh and spicy tones and I fucking love the variety of smells amouage provides. I hate heavy smells like nasomatto and I sort of enjoyed Margiela Jazz club. What I dislike are too aromatic and too floral smells smelling like old saudi lady and also, "young" smells like blue de chanel etc.

Is there anything that crossed your mind?

>>13998431
unironically Terre d'Hermes
(bravo if this was bait)

>>13998446
it wasnt, thanks

Actually I remember smelling some hermes like 6 years ago which I loved, this might be it

>>13998431
As a fellow Oud Wood lover I can say I haven't found anything yet that has quite hit the spot yet in terms of cheaper alternatives. You could get some decants or splits of Our Wood if you want to save money.

I have heard good things about Versace Oud Noir, buy haven't had a chance to try it myself, don't know if someone else here has.

Is this Hypnotic Poison auction jumping due to the reformulation?
https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/62235199

>>13998426
I guess a lot of them aren’t using good fixatives, so the scents aren’t very stable. Like you said, that may be intentional so you have to buy more of it.

Godammit, I hated it. Smells like something a janitor or clerk would use.

>>13998075
I had this once as a gift from my dad. Definitely not masculine and snice

>>13998219

I've been thinking about buying into the rasasi meme. Can't seem to find Egra for less than 50 bucks in Aus though, which is a shame. It's not a great deal of cash for me but the principle that it's much cheaper elsewhere is holding me back.

>>13998426
i think they want us to also buy the body wash and lotion that supposedly helps with its longevity

>>13999204
Rasasi is hella not a meme
