Summer is just a couple months away (inb4 Southern Hemisphere fags). What do you guys plan on wearing/copping?

>>14207082
don't disrespect Le Labo, pleb

>>14207567
Le Labo is absolute hipster garbage, friend.

Sauvage is obviously polarizing too, just taking into account the people on here who don't like it.

"divide or cause to divide into two sharply contrasting groups or sets of opinions or beliefs."

>>14207578
It’s not polarizing at all. It’s one of the safest scents you can wear. People here and on basenotes and fragrantica turn their noses up at it because it’s popular and they’re hipsters, but the fragrance itself isn’t polarizing in the least.

Also, instead of spraying ankles, it should be armpits and back of the knees, since their are some autists here who actually do that.

>>14207589
>armpits
Again, armpits are excellent for projection because they're the warmest place on your body. Chad should apply to his armpits, while the virgin should apply a spray to both wrists and rub.

>>14207589
Ok motherfucker, v2 incoming

>>14207597
you need to leave with your shitty armpit spiels. that's why deoderant exists, dummy.

>>14207621
You use an unscented deodorant and apply your own fragrance. It's really not a hard concept to grasp if you have a room temp or higher IQ.

>>14207611
Also, I feel like chads dont wear polarizing shit in the first place. They wear sauvage for maximum ultra mega compliments. Its the virgin that wears civet and oud because they where fragrance for their own enjoyment.

Anons recc me some florals, none of this half-measure Gaultier shit. Recc me some hardcore shit.

>>14207704
Yeah, but doing what you want because you want to is Chadly. Virgins are the ones always trying to fit in or get compliments. Chad gets compliments by just being Chad. Chad don’t give a fuck.

>>14207746
This is why I added it in, if you don't understand you're probably a zoomer

>>14207015
>>14207479
To the anons asking about my Empire by Trump. Good eye! I always surprise people with that one - they say it smells great...until i tell them.
>SURPRISINGLY subtle after a loud opening; to my nose the beginning is where you get the loudest parts - spicy mint tea for the first hour or so, with musk and some amber, later on the tonka comes out to me as the rest quiets down
Just blind buy it for the meme dude, worst case - its cheap and you're not out much; best case - you'll love it like me and wear it to the office semi-regularly

>>14207567
>wearing le labo

>>14207541
Is Aventus truly a must-have or is that one of those "I have my shit together everywhere else" purchases like a concert violin or a motorcycle you don't intend to drop?

And if it's the latter, what's a good cheap novice-tier scent in its note range?

>>14208012
I dunno, try it and judge for yourself

>>14208012
wondering the same. was thinking of Aventus or Virgin Island Water but want to compare in store.

Got to try this recently it's pretty metallic or aerosolic throughout. Reminds me of a deodorant spray I purchased at an airport once. Starts off with grapefruit and later becomes more like lemon. You can also smell some spiciness underneath, from the tea note presumably.
Not really out of the ordinary but could be a convenient solution for those wanting something other than the sweet scents common in the market atm. I imagine it could blend better when mixed with smells from outdoors.

>>14208012
Aventus is just a very safe fragrance. I didnt like it at all the first time years ago, but came back to it recently and enjoyed it but its just really boring/lack of character, especially as the most expensive and hyped Creed frag.
>>14208095
Virgin Island Water has shitty projection and longevity + is more appropriate for summer year round countries.
People here will spit on VIW but I love it, unfortunately its just not a conventional frag to invest in. If youre set on Creed (and given your proposed options you have a sweet tooth for scents), try Millesime Imperial or even Green Irish Tweed.

>>14208012
Never tried Aventus but I hear Invictus often mentioned as a cheaper alternative. Also Dunhill Icon maybe.

>>14208104
I got a free travel cologne bottle the last time I bought from Neiman Marcus and got free VIW with it and loved it. I'll compare these four soon and pull the trigger for a summer frag
>pic related

>>14208012
There's also Armaf Club de Nuit Intense.

>>14208034
I don't mind trying it but don't know anywhere that's selling it in my area, I went to the mall and no luck.

>>14208110
I'll look into these.
>>14208124
I saw that and might pick it up since it's a good deal cheaper as a blind buy. I heard it has a really harsh open from some of the reviews, but there's got to be some compromise at that price.

Whoms'tever memed me into getting a sample of Bentley Intense, well played. Smells like a soggy orange in a bowl of pot pourri. I'll give it to one of my fukboi friends to attract club sloots.

Whoever recommended TF tuscan leather, that is one weird scent. More interesting than 'nice', smells quite burnt and earthy in a good way, which I think I can pull off as I'm a bit of a weird guy. So thanks, I guess.

Anybody know the name of that purple bell bottle frag that apparently smells like a misty graveyard? And more importantly, where to get samples?

>ordered CDNIM 2 years ago because of the hype
>it arrived, had high expactations
>smelled it, was a little dissapointed
>smalled like something a 30 y/o man would wear (I was 20 at the time)
>never really wore it that much for that reason
>ffw 2 a couple weeks ago
>decide I'll give it a proper try
>got the most orgasmic compliments from males and females
The thing is, CDNIM smells really bad up close and I think that's why I didn't like it that much. However the scent trail it leaves behind is an absolute killer. Almost feel bad because I wore it so little past few years.

>>14208297
>misty graveyard
sounds interesting, will bump out of interest too

>>14207558
Not sure yet, my usual is Mugler Cologne or Ferrari Bright Neroli but I'd like to take a step up in quality and longevity.

What's the best cheap alternative for Aventus - CDNIM or Zara Vibrant Leather?

>>14208307
Found it m8, it's Serge Lutens De Profundis.

Someone recommended it here a week back and I wanna try a sample, said it had a mossy, misty, graveyard smell. Sounds right up my street but I need to sample it first, don't want to end up smelling like a fucking funeral home.

I use these 2 for winter

Recommend me something similar for summer based on my taste.
Or should I wear the same in all seasons lol :)?

How do you make your own perfume if you have al rehab or nabeel oil?

>>14208473
That shit is already made. Just layer them.

>>14208431
>>14208436
Just wear sauvage since you like wearing meme scents.

>>14208493
I meant to ask how do you make an EDP or EDT from perfume oils. I would like to spray it because the roll on is broken and I never now how much oil to use,with spray it's easier.

>>14208570

>>14208516
But anon it’s a wane anorexic garbage tier frag

Is YSL PH a good preppy frag? Something I can wear year round casually?

>>14208671
Go for it, Caron PuH and YSL PH were patrick batemans frags of choice

>Dior Homo for Men

>>14208320
ah great, let me know how it goes ill keep monitoring these threads over the weeks
thanks man!

>>14208297
I think it was me that suggested Tuscan Leather.

When I got my first sample I thought it smelled like a wet ashtray. Now it’s my favourite fragrance. Once you get past that opening it’s amazing. Also remember, don’t bury your nose in to it to smell it, it’s much nicer when you catch a little in the air.

>>14208776
TL is a weird one for me. I don’t love it on myself, but as I’ve mentioned a couple times, there;s a Romanian girl in Amsterdam I visit often who wears it. She’s a tiny, cute, little spinner, very girly, and you’d think TL would be completely off putting on someone like her, but it just works. I dunno how, but it does. Smells ridiculously sexy on her.

>>14208297
>More interesting than 'nice'
that describes every niche scent ever.

reminder: niche = tryhard

Wearing Tobacco Vanille for the first time in a while and I so wish I could wear this all the time. Bury me with it. This may sound over the top, but I swear this fragrance helped me with my confidence issues. You have to not give a shit when wearing it and that feeling extends past fragrances.

Go back to rebbitt with your cucked "niche" masstige bullshit you fucking soi male.

This is /frag/, faggots, not /fuccboi/. We discuss all frags here. If you love Sauvage or Kouros or whatever, great! If you can’t stand people talking about frags you don’t like, go shitpost in some other thread. There are plenty of low-quality bullshit threads here, pick one of them to ruin.

Is it wise to fuck around making your own cologne/perfume if you haven't dabbled in it before? I was looking up the compounds responsible for certain scents and want to try recreating a scent from a vacation. My concern is that - aside from being a noselet - trying to mix geosmin and green notes for a "rainy meadow" sort of vibe will either denature the geosmin or smell very feminine.

>>14209623
I’d say it’s a waste of money. You probably won’t get it right, mixing frags is a lot more precise and time-consuming than you’d think. Odds are, you’ll get frustrated, go “fuck it”, and wind up with more random shit you’ll never touch again gathering dust in your room.

r8. h8. masturb8.

>>14209850
lmao get a better closet instead of buying virgin frags. Cheap as fuck wood

>>14209495
Everyone has a their own subjective scent of smell. To belittle someone else's taste because you don't share it just shows how insecure you are about your own preference bud.

>>14209933
True dat. Can’t defend his own choices, so he attacks other people’s. Black and white “my way is the only right way” thinking is a sure sign of low intelligence.

>>14210807
I love it but it's a bit generic fresh to most, it's maximalist ginger topnotes

>>14209317
Red Tobacco is great. Can't vouch for any of the others but Mancera-Montale are generally solid for their gray market prices. Performance is their strong suit.
>>14209321
>synthetic
Stop using this lazy critique. It means nothing.
>>14209377
Zero fun on this list of memes, and nothing for warm weather. Don't you dare say >Kouros
>>14209495
You have no idea who the Montale-Mancera audience is if you think it's aimed at hipsters. It's also the anti virgin spritz crowd due to ridiculously strong performance. Black Aoud and Cedrat Boise are definitive Chad miasma scents.

So how many of you actually own Roja?

>>14210825
Not him but Kouros is incredible in the hot weather. Have you tried it?

I have a new respect for Tobacco Vanille. After a shower yesterday I sprayed it once just below my elbow. About four hours later I went to work with three sprays of Ginepro Di Sardegna (two on my neck, one on my wrist) and I was wearing a jumper as well as my overalls.

I couldn’t smell anything except TV all day. One spray under two layers overpowered three sprays of another fragrance in the open. It makes me think three sprays of TV is too much. I had no idea it was that strong.

>>14211054
Kouros arrived today. Super excited about wearing it in the upcoming warmer days. Any experiences? How does it wear? How can you complement the aesthetic?

Own a vintage car, looking forward to wearing this fragrance and smelling the leather of the car seat.

>>14211065
You only need one spray, which is the beautiful thing compared to the majority of “fresh” summer frags which you have to spray a shit ton and keep re applying.

You can make it fit with any style but I think with works best with trad/prep or sleazecore.

Thinking of going to Tom Ford in London. Got Tobacco Oud and Patchouli Absolu gnawing away at me. I think I may be asked to leave for being too poor.

Anybody here been there before?

Any fellow monkeys know where I can cop fragrances in South East Asia?

>>14211267

>>14211366
I actually have Oud Wood. I just can’t afford any of his clothes. I have his two films and that’s a point of pride for me...

>>14210776
There's a difference between saying "I don't like it" and "everyone who uses this brand is a virgin spritz". See the difference?
Would you belittle someone for liking a food that you don't? If yes then it's seriously sad :)

>>14211914
M8, you’re wasting your time. Look at his posts. Low-effort, low-IQ buzzword salad. Not one word of anything he said has any substance to it at all. It’s just noise. I imagine he’ll tell me to go back to r3ddit, or call my post cringe or whatever. He’s just a dumb kid who’s fried his brain with too many memes (many such cases. Very sad) and thinks this is how people really act. Don’t give him attention. These threads always have dipshits who show up and shitpost for a few weeks, then they get bored and leave. Best to just ignore them, these threads work better when they’re not 50% people waving their dicks at each other.

>>14211057
Yeah I wore a Tobacco Vanille yesterday and I caught whiffs of it nearly all day

>found my sample of now practically all evaporated Armani Code I bought like a year ago

Now I know it's a relatively cheap frag these days but... Is there anything else I should consider instead of a bottle of it? It projects and lasts for me

anyone going for reviews to fragrantikka?

>>14212039
You're right. Thanks for the heads up. I'm new to this board..or 4chan in general hah.

>>14209850
Good, just needs some branching out. You essentially have four frags that all do the same thing.

>>14212369
Hey, everyone was a newfag once. Welcome aboard. Also, I will politely remind you to lurk fucken moar.

>>14212393
I feel that. I like woods obviously, I like to think of it as a signature accord. I'm starting to build around the seasons a bit. They are pretty versatile imo so I'm feeling good about the collection as a starting point...

I'm always looking for the next addition but I'm picky as hell and when I find one I love its usually in the same thread as one of these.

Sephora April sale is coming up, I'm a VIB (desu) and I have a 15% off coupon. What frags should I cop? I had my eye on an Oud from Givenchy's private line as well as Maison Martin Margiela Soul of the Forest.

>>14211914
>>14212039
Enjoy your dead thread lol

>>14212949
Ombre Leather, Grey Vetiver, Fahrenheit, and Dior Homme and Sephoras most redeemable offerings, imo. I have been wanting to smell SotF though.

Rate my collection.

Eau D‘ Orange is new, sadly no longevity

>>14207541
Any frags that are close to shaving foam?

I just received Drakkar Noir. I feel that if this was a niche fragrance,people would praise it but now it has a stigma of being an ugly scent. Although I do agree with some people that it smells like shaving foam. Also the sprayer is insane,1 spray of DN is like 3 sprays of some other perfume.

>>14213412
Lol I just noticed you as I was submitting this,definitely Drakkar noir

>>14213424

What's a cheap and inoffensive fragrance for a male college student?

Say I want a light sillage from a frag. Would getting the bodyspray version of one do? Or should I just do one spray on the neck and that's it?
Just that I do prefer the feeling of spraying all over rather than a few spritzes

>longevity is trash
ya i,ve read that's a common complaint about atelier in general. if i can get a couple hours (w/ a little projection) tho i can live with that

Retarded question but..how do I apply cologne but make sure I'm the only one that can smell it? Can I do it on my nose somehow?

>>14214501
There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.

I can get a good deal on Lacoste Live.
Is it a good casual spring frag? Heard it smells like lime coke

>>14214501
just spray the front of your neck a couple times.

>>14214501
yep, that's certainly a retarded question. maybe look into roll-on perfumes and make a tiny fragrance hitler 'stache with it. any spray is going to project

>>14214988
people will still smell that. the neck is a common application point

>>14209320

Cedrat Boise is my most complimented fragrance. Similarish to Aventus but very different, fruitiness is turned up 110% - blackcurrant lasts for fking ever.

3+ sprays and everyone in a room WILL notice you. 10/10 chad scent

>>14215207
>aventus
>cedrat boise
literally only mudslimes and pajeets wearing that here m8

>>14214501
Well, they say your senses of taste and smell are linked, so I’d recommend just drinking the stuff.

>>14215147
For most fragrances, a spray on your neck will only be noticeable if they hug you. Some of my fragrances I will wear up to 4 spays without being noticed. If you're that worried about people smelling you, dont wear fragrance.

Is pic related work-appropriate for women or too fruity? I got a rollerball yesterday and I really like the top/heart notes which I found the most noticeable on my first impression but I'm relatively new to fragrances and my sense of smell isn't the best.

>>14215311
>If you're that worried about people smelling you, dont wear fragrance.
i'm not the retard who asked the retarded question, retard. i was replying to your retarded suggestion to him that perfume applied to the neck wouldn't be that noticeable to others. it's exposed skin near the face and a pulse point.

>4 spays without being noticed
yeah, no way.

>>14215345
That is some powerful shit. Really sweet and maybe too much for the office. I'm a guy and own a small 30ml because I like it so much, but wouldn't recommend it for professional use. It's exactly how I'd like my ideal woman to smell in her free time and when out and about with me though.

>>14207541
How often should I apply fragrances? Is it okay to use them everyday or should they be reserved for special occassions?

>>14215595
i think its good to have a couple everyday fragrances and a couple you reserve for occasions.

>>14215602
Would this be suitable for an everyday fragrance? I enjoy smelling nice but I don't know what is considered "out there".

>>14207704
actually sampled Sauvage EDP the other day. I must say, it's pretty boring. It has that scent of "i've smelt this before". It's like its just there to give off a scent, and in no way adding/enhancing character.

Any mood changing frags?

>>14207541
gonna be sampling all the meme frags:

bleu de chanel
dior sauvage
paco rabanne one million
paco rabanne invictus
acqua di gio
terr d'hermes
d&g the one
la nuit de l'homme ysl
dunhill racing
l'homme ysl
spicebomb v&r
tuscan leather tome ford
thierry mugler amen pure malt
versace eros
jean paul gaultier ultramale
chanel allure homme sport
kouros ysl
perry ellis 360 red
coach for men - coach


Kinda a noob with frags, and planning on only owning one of these? Any idea which meme to go with if a 20 year old college student.

Sauvage is pretty boring, and ive heard Bleu de Chanel is in the same category and mostly old men wear it.

>>14213516
Well, I myself just tried vetiver pour homme. It's ... good, but not that good for the money. It's interesting, slightly different take on vetiver with rich lemon and spices. But it's nowhere near mindblowing. I'd never buy the entire bottle. I'll try Amore Mio next and will report back.

>>14215624
Of all of those Aqua Di Gio and Allure Homme Sport are probably the two safest, they're safe, pleasant smelling, they fit a young guy well and are relatively inexpensive.

>>14215740
thanks. isnt acqua di gio quite popular?

What is the best place to spray fragrance on clothes? The front or the sides?

>>14215624
Kouros only patrician option

Do I have to layer frags by spraying them on the same spot, or can I apply to different places with different scents?
I was thinking two sprays of OW on the neck and one of TV on the wrist, but will that blend the smell the same same applying all on the chest would (I think neck application for this combo would be too strong)

>>14215624
Lel get Kouros

Guys, I think I might pull the trigger on La Nuit de L'homme. I tried it in a store and I loved the smell, but I'm worried about the longevity, since I heard people saying it sucks. Help me out, /frag/?

What frag would suit a casual laidback vibe? think navy varsity jacket, lightwash jeans and meme colourblock trainer.

From properly capped and sealed glass vials, how quickly will decants evaporate? I can't tell at this point how much I've used of certain samples since last year and now I'm worrying they're all dissappearing like that.

>>14216245
They won’t.

>>14215944
My favourite fragrance I’ll never buy due to longevity. Reformulation isn’t something I worry about normally, but in this case they fucked it.

any thoughts on Guerlain Homme? thinking about blind buying since it's cheap, have been looking for a citrus+mint scent for summer, and trust the house (L'Instant de Guerlain pour homme edp, aka the scent formerly known as LIDGE, is my cool weather rotation)

>>14216263
Is it really that bad?

>>14216263
>b-but reformulation
these retards still infest /frag/? jesus christ

>>14216336
What do you mean? Are reformulations a placebo meme or do they actually ruin a product? Explain.

>>14216355
I’m the guy that originally mentioned it.

If you go to certain sites there are people that simply will not buy anything other than specific batches. People often talk about how DHI has been ruined. “It used to last 12 hours but now it only lasts 10”. These people are idiots. Sure, fragrances sometimes get worse, but only the most obsessive people will notice, and even then it’s probably placebo. But I can say with experience that LNDL has much worse performance on me than it used to to the extent I won’t buy it.

Don’t get me wrong, the smell is absolute perfection to me but I don’t get the performance I used to.

Ok, this is epic.

>Fresh. Divergent. Stimulating.

>Tom Ford transcends the traditional limits of scent with Lavender Extreme. Lavender is reworked and refracted like it never has been before to become something irreverently new a stunning, electric creation to be worn at maximum volume.

>Lavender is upended, translated from its storied origin in Provence and into a fresh subversion of itself.

>Tom Ford Lavender Extrême will be available in 50 ($320) and 250 ($815) ml Eau de Parfum.

Will anyone blind-buy?

>>14215611
I'd say this is a pretty safe everyday fragrance. The most important thing is that its something you enjoy wearing most days, and that you can afford to use it everyday. If you like something, don't worry too much about being "out there," if you spray conservatively you're the only one that will really smell it.

>>14215746
it was 10 years ago anyway

>>14215909
i think its fine to spray them in different areas, but you will likely get whiffs of one and then the other, with some whiffs of them together.

>>14216245

Reformulation is real and always for the worse. It's reformulation deniers who need to leave this general with their misinformation and blind consumption of degraded scents. Stop leading uninformed anons into regretful purchases.

>>14216664
No chance, might try a sample maybe

>>14207567
Why would I respect a company that makes a unintentional pickle fragrance

>>14216806
Usually it's to do with certain ingredients being banned or restricted and that affecting the fragrance. Yeah there is some autism about it, but a fragrance heavily reliant on oakmoss for example has to be changed now.

>>14216866
This. I only support companies that make intentional pickle juice. Vlasic Pour Homme EDP is a masterpiece.

>>14216962
IFRA ingredient bans are the primary reason why reformulation is a real thing and not some Boogeyman. Oakmoss, musks and various aldehydes / synthetics cannot be fully replaced, leaving the IFRA compliant modern versions of old frags a shadow of their original selves. It's not imaginary and it's not autism; it's objective fact that no 90s fragrance smells exactly how it did when first introduced. Not CK One, not Acqua di Gio, L'Eau d'Issey, Fahrenheit, Platinum Egoiste, or Cool Water. None of them.

>>14208012
I think it's a must try, though not necessarily a must have. Whether one likes it or not, I think it is objectively an excellent men's fragrance and deserves much of praise it gets. It ticks a lot of boxes for a lot of people. But your mileage may vary. For a lot of people it fits that role of a supremely versatile, pleasing yet not boring, timeless masculine scent. But you may find something else that fits that role better for you. Plus you may find the scent fairly common and thus not as appealing where you live. But I think it's worth getting a sample to try if you haven't.

Im going clubbing with 4 old friends (vagene) from college, can I wear 4 spritzers of Kouros?

Are there any discounter sites that sell YSL's "Le Vestiaire des Parfums" collection? Specifically I'm looking for Tuxedo

>>14217123
Seems hard to find on discount sites. FragranceBuy and fragrancenet seem to get a few bottles now and then, but they tend to go fast, and don’t get restocked often.

100% worth, though, even if you have to pay retail. Tuxedo is fantastic.

>>14216727
I buy 5ml samples

Do I spend some money on a bottle of EDC Tabac Original or get the shaving cream? Or are there better cheapies for me to try?

>>14217235
Depends what kind of thing you're looking for

Step aside, plebs.

>>14217053
older frags sure, but the reformulation dunces sometimes start screeching about scents that are only a few years old

>>14217872
Sometimes that's all it takes for changes to take place. Manufacturers can't predict when IFRA will fuck them over and ban or limit ingredients. Santal Majuscule is from 2012 and has already been destroyed. La Nuit is only ten years old. This shit just happens. If you love a scent, it's sometimes prudent to buy a backup bottle in case it gets nuked. They all get nuked eventually.

Demi Rawling is the best youtube reviewer tbqf

>>14217985
No she’s not. She just says every frag she’s paid to endorse is super sexy and makes her wet. You’re just thirsty.

What fragrance should i get if I'm a average and basic whiteboy who wants girls to think I smell good? Unironic question btw

Is oud wood similar to royal oud? Not talking about if it's a clone, reviews make it seem they are pretty similar.

>>14218247
I dont find them similar. Oud wood is spicy and reminds me of wet wood. It can be worn more casually or by younger guys. Royal oud is more sweet and dry. It has a more austere and mature vibe imo.

>>14213412
tragedy of lord george. has a barbasol like smell

I'm going to cop a sample of Jubilation XXV real soon but I'm not sure if I want to try it. I'm just worried my first foray into niche scents will put me off entirely.

DHC is nice for summer and all but I feel that it's a tad 1 dimensional, the same way that Mugler Cologne doesn't really develop. So should I get Homme Eau instead for a light spring/summer work frag?

>>14218247
Basically what the other guy said, but I’ll nack him up.

I have both. Oud Wood is a bit more bold, but in a more sophisticated way, not bold like Tuscan Leather. Royal Oud is understated, slightly sweet in its opening, but dries down beautifully, but has a slightly (dry slightly) dated smell. Not dated in a bad way, but it gives off older vibes.

I own and love full bottles of both, but Oud Wood is my favourite. RO also has wildly fluctuating longevity so if that’s a concern OW wins that category.

>>14218412
I haven’t tried Homme Cologne (but I want to because I love the line) but I have Homme Eau and I adore it. It’s fresh and light but has enough depth to make it interesting without compromising the freshness.

A note of warning, I wore it to work once when it was around 32 Celsius indoors and somebody walked in and exclaimed “Fucking hell, has some cunt showered in aftershave?” It has a tendency to project quite strongly in high heat/humidity so if where you work is quite hot or without air conditioning go easy.

Really brings my piss to a boil that you can’t buy every Dior Homme fragrance in 50ml. Imagine how nice it would look if they all lined up perfectly. But no, Cologne and Parfum have to be the big daddy and be 75ml.

>>14218103
Sauvage

>>14218438
I'll keep my decant of Homme Cologne for the peak of summer and then use Eau for cooler days then.

>>14218556
If it’s anything like Mugler Cologne then Dior Cologne will be great for high heat, but as you said, cooler days is where Eau shines. You can get away with it in high heat if you’re outdoors, but I think it’s safer in that kind of Spring/Summer time where it’s not blisteringly hot, but not cool either.

>>14217120
realistically probably only use two

>>14218597
Two bottles, that is.

>>14217053
Well Fahrenheit individually never really had much oakmoss. If it was truly based on oakmoss, they would have kept at least a little bit in as you'd be able to see it in the ingredients. It's base was always a tarry iso E super. What really changed Fahrenheit was the regulation of methyl octine carbonate and methyl heptine carbonate, which at first are like violet leaf but are kaleidoscopic and have weird metallic, green, cucumbery, and strawberry elements as well. Modern Fahrenheit (2016 and onwards) is pretty damn close to vintage but it's still missing a little bit of the bright green ozonic bite the original had.

>>14209167
It's alright. Not worth the price IMO.

>>14218103
>>14218524
I don't necessarily know what I'm doing but I recently picked out a fragrance for a basic whiteboy based on what I thought would smell good on him. I thought Sauvage smelled stupid and ended up going with YSL L'Homme. The choice was influenced by the fact that he likes cedarwood smell.

Every perfume that I smell reminds me of my dad. Regardless of the perfume, when I first smell it I quickly tell myself that I have smelled this fragrance on my dad. He and my mom used to have many fragrances when they were younger and I used to smell and spray their fragrances on me was I was a kid.

Does this happen to any of you ?

It's Springtime now.

Cant decide which one to get

>>14219235
Or this

>>14219219

These are all incredibly different. Go out and smell some things.

>>14208431
>>14208436
Have you tried the original Dior Homme? I know it's not something anyone would classify specifically as a 'summer scent', but it can definitely be worn in that season. In fact warmer weather is one of my favourite times to wear it cause the bergamot, amber, and woodiness really sing off my skin without getting cloying. If you already have it, consider giving it a wearing in warmer weather, it may surprise you.

>>14213651
Versace Dylan blue can be had for fairly inexpensive prices. Very versatile, like a nice clean shower gel kinda fragrance but with some more depth than that. Youthful vibe suits a uni student very well.

>>14218722
I wish my dad had a signature scent that I could put on and remember him by. I guess he used to wear gray flannel but not enough to form a scent memory. And it gives me a pounding headache.

Might be taking the Sauvage pill lads, EDT or EDP?

>>14219548
It is a nice feeling to have flashbacks, at the same time it scares me that I am smelling like a old man even though I am wearing youthful fragrances

>>14218722
I feel like fragrance used to be more popular in the 80's and 90's. Both of my parents also had small collections and cycled through them. Dad had Fahrenheit, Acqua di Gio, Eternity, Polo, and Aramis. I don't know why he stopped wearing them in the 2000s, but I eventually gifted a few bottles to him and he likes Aventus best. Still doesn't wear fragrance often, and I wonder why.

Bought another bottle of Original Santal
It'll be here early next week.
So excited!

Guys, please what good perfume for making my slaves to wear?

>>14220190
>I feel like fragrance used to be more popular in the 80's and 90's
This is interesting, I do not know about any surveys conducted to support this, but I think the same--people don't seem to be as interested as before. In my experience, I rarely find any people wearing a fragrance.
I wonder what caused people to stop doing that, it could have been a long trend that is starting to die ? Are we producing as many fragrances as we used to ? or a we completely wrong and it is exactly the opposite ?

>>14220756
>>14220190
what's even more strange is the fact that there are plenty more fragrance houses now than before, with some experimental releases for the sake of experimentation. there's a shit ton of fragrances out now and it's become a very niche hobby/demand, whereas back in the day you had your heavyhitters that everybody would wear, but nothing too far out of the same general classifications.

>>14218412
>>14218438
I might have an awful sense of smell but DHC seemed way too similar to friggin' Kenzo l'eau pour homme which is MUCH cheaper than Dior

>>14220804
I suppose when a fragrance is as simple as DHC it’s easier to have similarities with others.

>>14220656
Roja Fetish

Just got a sample of Ichnusa by Profumum Roma, if you're after a really natural, green summer scent, give it a try.

Doesn't have that synthetic smell you get with a lot of greens like pine floor cleaner, it's got a slightly sweet coconut creaminess to it that balances it out nicely.

Wore it to a works party and my work flirt partner couldn't stop smelling me all night, drove her absolutely crazy, and after a few drinks she completely lost all inhibition.

>>14211057
Tuscan Leather has the same vibe for me. One spray on my wrist, an evening working on my computer (wrist rubbing on my desk) then a hot bath and scrub with shower gel, and when I got into bed my wrist still had a beautiful faint whiff of leather to it.

It's just a shame the intital spritz of TL has a really biting ashtray smell to it. It wears off in maybe 20mins and leaves the deep, rich leathery smell for hours, but damn that first spritz blows your nose off.

>>14209850

How is Oud Wood? I've had Oud Minerale and Tuscan Leather samples from Tom Ford, enjoy both in different ways, but everyone keeps saying TF is a meme, so I'm wondering if I've just been lucky up to now.

>>14221169
I have that too. If the house is burning down I’m grabbing those two bottles.

They might be expensive, but they’re worth every penny to me. Much more so than Creed offerings.

TL does have a harsh opening, but it’s so good. I saw somebody at a Tom Ford counter spray it in the air and wave the card through the mist and also directly on to the card. The mist was so much better for displaying what that fragrance is. It’s much less harsh and more well rounded that way.

>>14221171
Oud Wood is one of the safest PB fragrances going. At least in terms of mass appeal and performance. Things like Neroli Portofino smell great but are way too expensive in terms of performance.

>>14221171
>How is Oud Wood?
Disappointing. I mean, it's nice and safe. Performance is on the weak side.
The oud is artificial but at least there's very little of it. Then it's a couple hours of vague "woody notes" with some artificial sandalwood, and vanilla and tonka.

My wife's response was "It's nice, but only because I can't think of any specific thing in it that I dislike."

>>14221174
When I got it I sprayed it on one of the card sticks and it was brutal, as I gave it a direct blast probably a bit too close. But it's been a week and the card is still on my desk and I smell it all the time, it's got an enigmatic deep richness to it, I'm putting it down to some sort of nostalgia because it's far deeper than just 'smells nice'.

I'm gonna be brave and really wear it next time I go out.

>>14221177
I’m the guy above you. I’ve seen some criticise performance but for me it lasts ages. Definitely one to try with a reasonable sized sample I’d say. I wore it to work for a 12 hour shift and it lasted through all of that (a colleague said after 11 hours he could tell where I’d been because the smell was still lingering) but I can’t say I’m not aware of others having performance issues. Far from “bad” performance I’d say, but certainly not up there with the best TF.

>>14221191
Same. I tried it on card an actually hated it, but like you I left it and kept smelling it and eventually I thought “Fuck it, I’ll get a sample”. I got a 2ml sample and near the end I refused to use it because I couldn’t get rid of it until I had a full bottle.

As an aside, do any of you here have any of the lesser known PB fragrances? I’m guilty of it too, but all people talk about are OW, TL, TV and maybe NP. I’d love to own Noir De Noir, but it’s not really suited to my style, and I’ve heard good things about Azure Lime and Plum Japonaise.

I have the original Issey Miyake PH for spring/summer. What about night time and autumn/winter though? Do I go with Nuit D'issey or the Bleu Astral flanker? 26yo, casual style includes bombers, tracksuit bottoms, varsity jackets and light wash denim.

>>14215207
It smells like air freshener that smells like aventus, cheap and obnoxious. But yeah, it is so in your face that everyone will notice you and comment on it. Would be hard not to.

>>14215611
Very snice and safe, expecially on very hot days it works like charm. You will get compliments on it.

>>14215616
Yeah, Sauvage was new for a while now it is as overplayed as Acqua di Gio. Boring and basic. Try Cartier Roadster/Gucci PH2 - those are the most uplifting frags for me. Also cgd incense line, kyoto expecially. Always puts me in this meditative state.

>>14215624
if you're looking only for one the the choice is obvious. L'homme. Most of what you have on the list lack versatility YSL has. It is snice and you won't get bored of wearing it everyday.

>>14218677
TDH was the most cedary thing I smelled. Maybe Boss Bottled/Boss Classic can also be up that alley. By the notes and reviews L'Homme looks more clean and soapy smelling.

Looking for a date night/time with gf frag (long distance relationship) that'll impress her.

Aventus is too popular so we must hate it as classic 4channel contrarians. Pajeets are universally disliked and always smell bad, so it is the obvious choice to associate Aventus with them.

Suggestions for aquatic/oceany scents? Preferably light, not overbearing. No focus on fruits.

Thinking about Sel Marin by Heeley per the /fa/ graphic. The other suggestions (CB I Hate Perfume Eternal Return and Bond No.9 Shelter Island) I have yet to have an opportunity to test

>>14221621
>could you please elaborate on this topic?
Different fragrances appeal to different target demographics. The Japanese, for example, prefer extremely light fragrances, so a heavy oud fragrance would not be marketed to them.

Creed Aventus and Mancera Cedrat Boise, while excellent fragrances, are intended for the Arab and Indian markets, i.e. infrequent showering and not wearing deodorant/anti-perspirant.
If a white guy wants to wear it, fine, but it would still be a little odd.

>>14221746
Bvlgari Aqua Atlantique maybe?

>>14221738

>>14221752
I wasn’t even going that deep with it, all I was saying was that whenever I smell a pajeet or Afghan wearing cologne, it’s always something that smells like Aventus and I’ve never smelled it on white people.
>>14221871
Stuff like GIT, Rive Gauche, Drakkar Noir fits us better.

>>14221752
Since fucking when was Aventus an Arab/Pajeet scent? Aventus was always the yuppie businessman scent. It’s what Patrick Bateman would wear if he were alive (and not fictional) today. It’s literally marketed as “this shit’ll make you smell like Napoleon, yo!”. I think you autists just want reasons to shit on it because it’s popular.

>>14207541
I love AHSEE a lot but it is paying Chanel prices for a bottle that is stopping me.
With that said is it reasonable for me to get CH Men Prive from a discount shop if getting a nice frag and saving money is my priority?

>It’s what Patrick Bateman would wear if he were alive (and not fictional) today.
I haven't seen that movie in many years, but Bateman was the Sikh character, right?

>>14221945
It’s a lovely fragrance so I can’t see why not. It doesn’t last as long as AHSEE if that’s what you’re comparing it to (and honestly, I think AHSEE is the only Chanel that justifies its price).

I do love CH Men Prive and I wish I could wear it more often.

>>14222198
>>14222287
I honestly have no idea where he’s getting the whole “Aventus is an Arab/Pajeet scent” thing from. It always seems to be white business types I see wearing it. I do not own or particularly like Aventus, so it’s not cope or any of that shit. If anything, it seems like Arabs and Pajeets around here tend to drench themselves in cheap shit like 1 Million, or, in the case of Arabs, heavy rose/oud scents.

I've wanted to try Mitro, but was hoping it was more floral than anything, have you tried it?

>>14223437
yeah, it's been a couple years tho, but it is definitely more floral that citrus (uncharacteristic for most AdP scents). i barely detected any citrus from the sample i tried. it is quite one-dimensional though from what i remember; just an extremely light white floral for a few hours

You should throw in a bottle of Aspen by Coty to the 80s collection.

>>14223954
These are just memes. Almost everyone here has probably never smelt it on anyone irl. People outside of the fragrance group wouldn't have a clue what it is. Current popular things that are sweet is just a trend. You should think outside of current trends and take a scent for what it is.

>>14223957
this is an unpopular opinion but coty's aspen is better than cool water and git. i own all three and i enjoy aspen way more than the other two.

>>14215207
I wanted to love it, but for me it's honestly too "jammy". Instead of lightening up the woods, vanilla, and musk, the fruits thicken it up. And the different elements of the fragrance feel like they're fighting over your nose and pulling you in difference directions which I'm not too fond of.
