Anybody know where I can get a sample of pure tonka in europe? Also any other good coffee ish frags. I really like black phantom
In case the thread gets deleted before they see it
>>14623939
>Zagorsk
Amazing my favourite from series 5 and a top 3 scent for sure. It's woody and smokey, the and birch are really good in this
>Avignon
Also amazing. This really smells mysterious like an old cathedral in France. Quite strong incense imo
Both are winter scents for sure
>>14626208
Hooker anon was on the hunt for them a while ago maybe he can help
>>14626238
Cdg Avignon

Iron would be cool but hard. Also Moss or incense. Maybe a wood note for the coffin?

best fall/winter frag ?

>>14629483

>Autumn

TF Amber Absolute. Very narrowly though over PdM Herod and L'Air du Desert Marocain

Which version of BDC do I get? I've only tried the EDP and I liked it but the first week or so of wearing gave me a headache. That and the incense felt a little cold and metallic for my tastes.

>>14629529
Sounds like you should get the EDT. Honestly don't listen to reviewers on this, it seems like the EDT isn't most people's preference but its mine and I think the citrus opening is brighter and projects better. The EDP and Parfum version are much more on the incense. But then again I prefer citrus fresh fragrances.

>>14629529

EDT.

Parfum I found completely meh and EDP I couldn't tell much difference from the EDT beyond taking some of the lightness and edge out of it.

>>14629517
how is bvlgari men in black? is it too generic like sauvage or bleu de chanel?

>>14629578
No, its more in the vane of Spicebomb.

>>14629578

Rich and satisfying, despite being a relatively cheap designer it's one I seem to keep buying and wearing every autumn/winter. I think it holds up surprisingly well against most of its designer rivals. It's in the same genre but not as good Spicebomb Extreme and could do with better longevity but it's still a solid frag that seems to hold up over time and is surprisingly underrated.

It's also a bit like TF Noir EDP, but not as formal and easier to wear without any real consideration what for during the autumn/winter.

>>14629586
>>14629591
thanks for the feedback guys,guess i will try to buy spicebomb then.Uni is going to start next monday so might pull the trigger

L'HOMME INFINIMENT

Glad it's getting cooler out. Fahrenheit is great all year round (even the summer) but truly shines in autumn. Same with Drakkar Noir.

>>14629611

In your position I'd just buy Spicebomb Extreme before you start uni then disregard anything else in that genre until you've got a budget to build up a rotation with some depth. Unless you've got rich parents, good savings or a decent side job it's better to have one or two solid upper-tier designer frags that covers autumn/winter/nights out than eat into a student budget. The only thing MIB has on it is the pricetag and even in a collection of 50+ mixed designer/niche/luxury frags I still find SbE gets more compliments than anything else I wear by far.

But then I like to do stupid shit that I don't recommend like buying 4-6 similar but still distinctive frags at different market levels (i.e. MIB/SbE/PdM Herod/The One EDT/Evody Noir d'Orient/TF Noir EDP) then just go with whatever I feel like on the day.

>>14629517
How is Kyoto?

London Burberry coming in the post tomorrow lads, my first frag quite excited desu

>>14629722

It's a good light and airy East Asian style woody incense. Doesn't have great longevity but projects surprisingly well. CdG Hinoki is a more authentic wood scent from that region although Kyoto lasts and projects better while being more wearable so in a way they cancel each other out.

A more surprising discovery though is Zagorsk from the same series. While the spray is still fairly unique and interesting the incense stick version is an amazing winter and especially Christmas room scent, used the whole pack up last Christmas and will probs buy another and do it again this year.

>>14629768
Yeah I really like zagorsk as well I can't wait to wear it again in winter, Avignon is also great. I never really bothered to try the Kyoto and the other one might get some samples cheers

>>14629750
I'm addicted to smelling the atomizer and I've even sprayed it on my wrist when I stay home all day. But I wouldn't feel right wearing it until it's consistently below 60 F.

>>14629200
The only Zootopia I didn't like was Hyrax, which is almost disappointing because I had hoped to narrow down a few to get full bottles of. I think Bat, Camel, Moth, Squid, and Trex stuck with me the most of the ones I like. Bat and Squid are probably my favorite presently.

>>14629529
EDT is superior. EDP and Parfum smell like syrupy evening type scents, EDT has best fresh, raw scent and lasts longer on me as well. Not sure why most reviewers seem to like EDP the best, EDT is easily the best in my eyes.

>>14629397
Zootopia Jew (Eau de Cologne)
Top notes: gasoline, papyrus, money
Heart notes: sand, gunpowder, money

Where is the best place to get allure homme sport? I'd like to get a 5oz as a good burner scent.

Thank you based fellow civetposter. I was on a date, so I was off duty. Thanks for keeping Erosfag honest.

Unironically yes, just did like an hour ago. She swallowed.

Also, pic related.

>>14629991
I would unironically buy that.

>>14629200
i've tried camel, chameleon, civet, dodo, squid, elephant, and panda.

civet is great, a nice 'entry' animalic as it really doesn't have a whole lot of beast to it. feels really warm, got strong rum on the opening but it faded, lasts quite a while.

squid was good, the ink accord was really interesting and pretty well done, not a whole lot else to say about it, very strong ambergris at the end.

elephant is very interesting in a good way. it opens with an absurdly strong green. not sweet green, but bitter green, like you pick up a handful of wet grass and crunched it up. it's not unpleasant. in the drydown i mostly got faint green, coconut/tonka and heavy vanilla. didn't get the cocoa i was hoping for but still thought it was pretty pleasant.

camel is ok, smells oriental, pretty inoffensive but nothing remarkable. chameleon has a pretty messy opening and dries down to basically smelly like a guy wearing a coconut-ish sunscreen. dodo also had a messy opening and drydown, didn't think it blended too well. almost smelled powdery at the end. meh.

>>14629200
I love Bat. Very glad I got a bottle before it got discontinued. I’d say Civet is my second favorite.

>>14630054
You're welcome brother.

>>14629122
I love the smell of cow hide leather. I’m always smelling my sheaths. Are there any leathery colognes on the market?

>>14630161
Elephant kinda reminded me of Thai green curry. Not spicy, but it has that green, sour-bitter, lime-coconut thing going. Smells like watered down green curry that someone dumped a bunch of tea leaves in. Doesn’t sound appealing the way I describe it, but it’s very good.

>>14630161
Could you recommend something similar to camel but perhaps better or more complex? I like it but it smells like something else I can't put my finger on.

>>14630186
Keep fighting the good fight!

>>14630194
Not him, but Serge Lutens Arabie is like a sweeter, richer, spicier camel. Smells like honey, dates, spices, and candied fruits. Very heavy, sticky-sweet scent. Great for winter.

almost never wear it

>>14630282
I can see that. I love it, personally, but yeah, I could see how it might be too sweet for some people.

>>14630277
If you like Baux you'd probably like Cade it's woodsy juniper and like a forest in the summer in my opinion. If not, Cedrat is a great summer citrus.

>>14630303
Smelled Cade on the strip, didn't dig it at all

Alright, this is getting a civet.

>>14629218
Loved at first, smells like nothing to me now, really overpowering and kinda snobby smelling. Definitely wouldn't recommend for casual wearing, that's like a Sauvage kind of thing if you're a beginner.

What's a good fragrance to try out if I want to get a feel for how Iris smells?

Anytime you go to church... Incense is a scent for space, not the body. That's why it represents the Holy Spirit

>>14630789
This anon gets it. I only use Kyoto for myslef.

D&G The One: EDT vs EDP. What are your thoughts? I've only tried the edt. Which one is more boozy?

Let's say you're willing to invest $100 (or euros for you eurobros) a month on frags, that's $1200 a year, and you would do this only once. Can you get a well-rounded collection for that amount of money? What would you include in there? It has to cover all your needs year-round. And since we're getting a bunch of frags, let's try to stick to 50ml, because we'll never finish 100ml bottles anyways. Go!

>>14630878
Some Serge Lutens and/or Tom Ford for evenings, special occasions.
Some Hermes Jardins and Acqua di Parma for daily wear in summertime.
Hermes Equipage for daily wear in colder weather.
Some weird vintage stuff that I personally like, but can't really wear at work, like Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme, or Guerlain Habit Rouge or Vetiver.
Some really great niche stuff that is extra smoky and rich. An oriental oud or Musc Ravageur or something. For sex larping purposes.
Byredo is actually pretty good as something that smells quite niche, but at designer pricing.

Does anyone know of a good affordable clone of Royal Oud by Creed?

>>14630878
>because we'll never finish 100ml bottles anyways
Is that how it goes? How long will 100mL last?

>>14631129
>Does anyone know of a good affordable clone of Royal Oud by Creed?
plenty of clones, none of them are good.

Really, though, Creed is not that expensive.
How long would a bottle last? Say, three years if you wear it a LOT (and you would not, since it's not an everyday fragrance).
Say you pay 300 bucks for 120mL (you can get it cheaper).
That's a hundred bucks per year or $8.33 per month. That's pretty reasonable.

Realistically, that 120mL will last you closer to 10 years, which gets you down to $2.50 per month.

>>14631302
Pretty much forever if you buy a lot of different frags the only reason to buy over 30 ml (or even 10ml) is if you really really really know for sure you will wear this the coming 20 years imo

Are YSL Pour Homme/Paco Rabanne PH still wearable today without smelling dated?
Or should I go for L'homme Ultime or something like Platinum Egoiste or AHS?

>>14631457
bump i am interested too.also are they suitable for fall?

L'HOMME INFINIMENT

>>14631340

Depends on the frag though, if it's something you (or think you'll) use as a staple it's always worth getting larger bottles but leaving the rest, especially more seasonal frags to small sizes. Even with a fairly large collection/seasonal rotations there's still a few full-size bottles I've used up completely and moved onto my second second bottle like AdP Colonia Essenza and GIT. Quite low on PdM Percival too now and that's a 125ml, would have wasted a lot buying a 75ml. Creed and Dior don't really help either having generous sprayers, don't even have to use them much to run out quickly.

I blind bought this from the memes. Love the smell of gasoline so I thought I’d love it. Reminds me more of honeydew melon + car tires, very manly, more manly than I am. I should have probably bought a summer scent instead and waited a month or two.

Never tried YSL Pour Homme, but Paco Rabanne is excellent. It’s only dated if you think smelling like a well groomed man is dated.

what do you think of this as a casual wear autumn frag?

>>14631830
I wouldn't say Paco Rabanne PH is dated, but I definitely don't think it's as versatile as it used to be.
It's suitable as an office fragrance, if your work dress code routinely has you wearing a tie.

I would not wear it on the weekend or on a date, though.

What kinds of jobs do people have to be able to afford these

>>14631935
Besides the obvious rich as fuck person/ thot

>>14631935
>What kinds of jobs do people have to be able to afford these
Pretty much any job. If it's what you want to spend your money on, you buy frags instead of, say, movie tickets or a motorcycle or a vacation or whatever.

>>14631945
This. I have a bunch of expensive frags because it’s an interest of mine, and I don’t really spend much money on other things. I’m not super rich, it’s just that the money I do have generally just sits in my bank account because I don’t really care about buying myself stuff for the most part.

>>14631935
I'm a software developer. After all my expenses and stuff, I have about 1500 euros, out of which I save 1k every month, and burn the rest in stuff for myself (holidays, fancy dinners, clothes and furniture, and frags every now and then).

Help me out, boys.

I need ONE fragrance to make all of my dreams come true. I'm going to be having a series of meetings with a qt literary agent about getting my book published. Big fucking deal, will finally leave my old life behind.

>>14633126

Hedi's Bois d'Argent would be a more suitable choice for dark academia. The fragrance smells autumnal or has an autumnal filter. Smells elegant without being crass or tacky.

>>14633604
He's actually correct, not that you would know noselet.

>>14633639
Guerlain Ideal... easily.

>>14633639
Never buy anything Tommy Hilfiger it is always disappointing from clothes to frags never touch that brand

If I want a fresh and mature smelling frag for a smart casual dress code, am I best off getting Allure Homme Edition Blanche or should I save up and get something like Bergamote 22?

>>14633685
Allure Blanche is so fucking ace and yummy. Bergamote 22 is linear and way overpriced for what it is (you might as well buy Versace Man Fraiche, not even joking).

>>14633122
The concept of saving money seems foreign to a lot of people. Setting aside $20 a month will net you $250 in a year.
Use up all your fragrances (2-3 sprays every weekday/workday will last you a long time) and be picky with the ones you purchase. Build your collection over time.

>>14633690
I was thinking of Man Fraiche as a work cheapie, since I'm getting bored of my rotation of Platinum Egoiste/Leau Dissey/ADG Profumo. As silly as it sounds I prefer to save frags like Pure Tonka/Eau Sauvage Parfum/London for casual settings, plus I can wear fresh frags year round regardless since they're so light.

>>14633713
If you don't mind spending a little bit more, Dior Cologne (in the white bottle) is so much better and has that beautiful blast of bergamot, grapefruit, and white musk. Better value than Bergamot 22, and a step up from Versace Fraiche.

Got a wedding coming up. I have numerous fragrances to choose from, but I've narrowed it down to:

Royal Oud*
ADG Profumo
Aventus
Tobacco Vanille
Oud Wood
Prada L'Homme*
Eau Sauvage Parfum*

*My most likely choices. I think I'm leaning most heavily towards Royal Oud, but ESP has the advantage of lasting longer, and it's going to be a long day. I don't have a travel atomiser to reapply.

Thoughts on this as a casual fall fragrance.
Going to be wet and shitty in nordic countries so is this going to go well with the smell of rain constantly in the air

>>14633746
I've tried the EDT and whilst it was a safe dumb reach for when I didn't really know what frag to wear, it just felt bland.
Is the EDP better in that aspect?

>>14633730
Prada L'Homme is my daily driver, but it doesn't have the longevity you want, and it's not special enough. Oud Wood is great, but not right for that occassion either. Aventus might work, TV as well.

>>14633690

is allure blanche good for fall/winter?

>>14633786
Both! Honestly, I have a huge collection and this is one of them I keep coming back too. Good for all occasions (except its too expensive to use as a daily fragrance, imo).

>>14633785
I was thinking TV has the longevity and once it hits the drydown becomes less cloying. Plus I'm the Best Man so I feel I'm justified in being a little bold.

I'm looking for a frag with some light vanilla to it, but something that isn't too heavy, like Spicebomb Extreme/TV/Ultra Male.
Any recs? Looking to pay perhaps £80 per 100ml, but will obviously sample first.

>>14633650
Yes, I’m the noselet. Tell me which spices are in Aventus right now

non-based opinions, is versace eros good? What is your opinion?

Also is "the must" in your opinion.

>>14633959
Okay, thank you for your input. I am new to the fragrance game and I was looking to buy a new one now for winter time. I was torn between eros, la nuit de lhomme, ultra male and blue de channel. What is your favourite between these and why? (Also sorry, I know these are prob the most known ones).

>>14633972
10 sprays of Musc Ravageur

>>14633972
Hey man, if you like it don't let my opinion sway you. To be fair, I've kind of grown out of designer fragrances but I have own all those at one point and desu all are pleasant, but none interest me anymore. If you are starting out I would suggest to buy a fresh citrus frag, and a spicy woody one. Covers most your bases. If you simply want one good overall frag, Bleu de Chanel fits the bill but you might get bored with it.

>>14633746
Mostly a green spring frag IMO but yeah it could work,it is very versatile

>>14633976
Thank you but that is over my personal budget!

>>14633981
Yes I am really starting out (I personally never own good fragrances. So I had Hugo Boss, some JPG, the cheap cool water and others really "cheap" and not really interesting at all).
I like to dress and look well and I love when people smell well so I am really looking forward to start investing more on this. What is your personal recommendation on the fresh citrus frag and the spicy woody one? Thank you for your answer by the way

>>14633972
>la nuit de lhomme
This one is pretty solid and not so boring or straightforward as Blue de Channel, which is good but too linear and predictable.

If you're just starting out, and you actually intend on spending some time and money on frags instead of just finding something that suits you and moving on, I suggest you spend some time trying stuff out before buying anything.

Once a week or however often you can, go to Sephora or Macy's or whatever and try out different stuff. Whenever you're at an airport, try out all kinds of stuff, specially the more expensive stuff. And when you do start buying, I would say never get a 100ml bottle, go with 50ml or less, because right at the beginning you might make purchases that you'll end up regretting later on.

And as always, ignore the trolls.

>>14633997
Not him but maybe try desquared he wood if you can still find it used to be cheap and is pretty nice woody frag. Tam doa gets memed a lot here but it is really good and not that expensive
>>14634059
Agreed with this, but la nuit the l'homme smelled awful on me so yeah sample first. I got tonnes of samples by just asking just tell them you want to know how it smells after a couple of hours since you can only really smell the opening in the store. Also really really take that don't buy 100 ml bottles thing to heart at the start, when I started out I bought 100 ml of Eros and have not even used 20 ml by now and start to dislike it. I also bought 100ml of sauvage which I find really boring right now. Got memed into getting them without getting samples and now I regret it immensely

>>14632181

Wish it was talked about more I really enjoy it. I'm younger though and I see this as an older guys fragrance

What do y'all recommend for an inexpensive fall winter frag that I can wear daily around uni?

>>14634101
>desquared
I will try it when I have the chance

Yeh I noticed that 100mL is a very big mistake! In "physical stores" they keep small samples?

>>14634200
they usually always have both 50ml and 100ml

>>14634200
They have little plastic vials with a sprayer which they can give away. Most of the time these are blank and you het a card that says which fragrance it is. Sometimes they give you one of these plastic sprayers that they got from the company eg. Dior. If you ask for sauvage parfum in sephora right now chances are you get one of these smal plastic sprayers from Dior instead of a blank one. The ones from the brands sometimes have more in them than the blank ones. Also sometimes you are lucky and can buy a tester bottle, which is a bottle people in store could use to try the frag. These aren't comepletely full bit are often great deals. More niche or expensive frags aren't always given away for free, but you can buy them on the internet really easily. If you found a frag you like check fragantica for the notes then you can find search for frags with those notes, often you will enjoy those frags as well. Enjoy getting into this anon, also come back here once in a while to tell /frag/ which frags you enjoyed and why makes this thread a whole bunch of fun!

>>14631935
anon you want to know a little life hack on how to afford pricy fragrances?

Step 1. buy from a mall-tier store (online)
Step 2. order online with a credit card
Step 3. wait for the package to come in
Step 4. call up support and tell them you never got the package
Step 5. Ask for a refund, 9 times out of 10 they will give you a refund if its under $500 worth of merch,
Step 6. This also works with shoes and clothes.

*Note nobody loses money because the package is insuranced by merchant.

>>14634233
So what happens that tenth time out of ten?

>>14634243
store credit ;^)

>>14634243
you just have to not be a retard about it, abuse it by constantly doing the same merchants over and over again, you've got to just sound convincing and disappointed, the customer support doesn't give a shit they just have to press a "refund" button, its always best to do it over holiday season when they are swarmed with calls from actual customers.

>>14633678
>never touch that brand

>>14634267

Most testers actually are unopened and completely full. On rare occasion, you’ll see a lightly used tester (especially if you’re buying on eBay or something), but in my experience, that’s the exception rather than the norm. Testers sometimes just come without a box or a cap, but if you can live without those, there’s absolutely no reason not to get a tester, especially if it’s heavily discounted.

>>14634233
I’ve never done this, but usually if I legitimately have an issue with a package, they won’t give me a refund, they’ll just send me another one. I guess you could sell the second bottle, but that seems like a lot of hassle to go through just to be cheap.

>>14634320

I the U.K. need a travel atomiser in the next few days. Suggestions?

Hi lads you alri? Need a fragrance to match this vibe, something sweet, dark, seductive maybe a little bit feminine? Ive already got dior homme intense and I love it but i want another. I also tried me mums black opium nuit blanche if you know how that smells and I was quite fond but though it smelt a bit cheap.

Cheeky bastards

2 questions, do you guys wear stuff everyday, and are any of the british brands like Truefitt and Hill, Trumper and Taylor of Old Bond Street any good?

>>14634834
L'HOMME INFINIMENT

>>14634838
Yes, every day. Feels weird without one at this point.

I’ve only tried Taylor of Old Bond Street and Milton Brown and although they make nice scents, they don’t suit fragrances, they should stick to soaps and other toiletries. Performance is piss-poor on them.

>>14634743

On the rare days that I rush out of the house in the morning and forget to put something on, I feel naked for the first couple of hours. No joke

>>14634956
Same. Feels weird as fuck to me not having fragrance on.

>>14634838
24/7 pretty much. Fragrance goes on right after showering each morning and night as a matter of routine.
>>14634862
>>14634956
This. It feels like something is missing when you go about your day without a personal scent to enjoy. Like you left home without your wallet or keys.

Why is it that I can put on one spray of something to try at a retailer and smell it on my skin for hours and then go online and find someone saying they put on 7-10 sprays and couldn't smell it after an hour? Are these retards nuking their nose and blaming it on the juice?

>>14634440
>hating erosfag
It's free bumps for the thread, and eros legit is a good "going out" fragrance even if that concept is lost on this place.

>>14634393
you simply tell them you're going to do a charge back and prefer to go pick it up locally. Amex will royally fuck over the merchant, they won't bother and will just refund you your money. I've done it several times a year. I'm not getting double the product, fuck that.

>>14634233
>Step 5. Ask for a refund, 9 times out of 10 they will give you a refund if its under $500 worth of merch,

>>14635678
Secund un

How long does a given volume of fragrance typically last? I’m just trying to gauge the price over time of wearing it

>>14635851
Depends, but I’d say it’s usually around 10 sprays per ml or so. So with a 100 ml bottle, you’d get around 1000 sprays. Let’s say you go 5 sprays per wear (assuming you’re not reapplying), it should last you about 200 days.

I'm looking for a manly, mature, yet sexy perfume. What would you suggest?

Someone mentioned Guerlain Heritage and I want mature scent but it doesn't sound sexy, sounds way too old fart. I want mature, sexy, maybe even a hint of sporty, and not cheap.

>>14636175
I've ordered the Dior Homme Intense sampler and then read that it's too sweet. Good thing I only ordered a little sampler. I don't want gay young notes.

>>14635678

Let's say I am Jason Statham, recommend me a perfume.

or maybe Mark Strong

>>14629122
So I purchased a dior sauvage and a creed aventus sampler recently and I realized I'm a complete scentlette.

Are they supposed to smell "soapy," while the aventis smells slightly fresher?

>>14636220
Old spice, until people know you for it enough for them to give you a sponsorship deal.

Aventus is not for the cold season

I recently got into Fragrances, and I have been testing out different types. My results are based on sortof sociological experiments, where I first spray into the air in my office, and then I spray in various areas such as the breakroom, and the photocopier room. I do this without people noticing. And wait. Eros by Versace seems to be the most successfuol. I sit very close to the photocopier room and I overhear multiple women telling other coworkers how it smells so good, and one woman even undid her blouse slightly. I think this maybe is good evidence in support of Eros as the best fragrance for getting sex.

versace is cheap and homosexual

ive had like 3 of those in my lifetime and i never really cared about perfumes since it smelled good, then i saw a Latino douchebag starter pack that had those shitty tight clothes and stupid ripped skinny jeans, basically 3rd world country sex core and it had an acqua di gio

is it for retards only?

i love the smell of vanilla, so is there any good vanilla fragrance?

>>14636310
Actually sweet/gourmand frags or any Jeremy would recommend are nigger frags. All his recommendations ended up in disappointments for me. Testing the waters with 70s/8s powerhouses now.

>>14636312
Lol you’re doing it wrong. Watch his videos to know which ones girls like to smell, not which ones you would like to smell. Buy at least 1 that you can tolerate and you’re done. If you want to widen your net, you can buy 2 (for the girls who don’t like the 1st one as much). Then populate the rest of your collection with stuff you genuinely like.

Do men like mugler angel on women?

>>14636236
I think they smell better to other people than to the wearer. For Sauvage, I acknowledge that I’m wearing it for girls so that I can make them think I smell good/irresistible. Personally it is just a meh scent for me, but girls like it on me.

>>14636318
Not doing my frag game for "girls". Like the idea to go with heavy and offensive fragrances, not with soft/sweet cuteboi shit.

>>14636243

>>14636320
That's fair enough, gonna test run it out in public tomorrow (just hoping I got the real scent and not rebottled cat piss by some chinese orphan) to see what the puss draw is like.

Anyone suggest a popular fragrance with performance though, I want to rack compliments for an entire 8-12 hour shift?

What are some good frags for calming intense anxiety? Like where you can't relax at all or stop thinking about work and the like?

>>14636360
People say that lavender is calming, so probably a frag with a heavy note of it. Cool Water is all lavender to me and it's cheap as fuck. I like Burberry London because it's super cozy and reassuring.

Bought this one. I know that it's not the ultimate testosterone loaded man fragrance but it smelled nice.

>>14636175

L'HOMME INFINIMENT

>>14636377
I got a sample of it and i'm wearing it today to uni
What made you buy it?

>>14636461
1. I need a winter fragrance

2. This fragrance is a more oriental fragrance, and as I am middle eastern looking I think it will suit me

3. Essentialy I was going to buy Tom Ford Noir Extreme but I thought I should get something more unique and youthful

Will be at Manchester duty free this Wednesday and want to pick up two fragrancea for a two week trip. I'd prefer for this to be suitable for wear on my return for office and casual.

I'm thinking BDC (unsure of varient) for casual, dates, and some office occasions. The second bottle would perhaps be Prada L'homme as I understand it is quite versatile and not obnoxious. Any alternatives to Prada L'homme which would be fairly complementary to BDC? I currently have Stronger With You and whilst I like it, I wouldn't want anything much sweeter.

>>14636525
Dior Homme Eau for Men is a great alternative to Prada L’Homme. Seriously underrated and one of my favourites.

>>14636534
Interesting - I'll keep that in mind as an option. Do you have much experience with projection/longevity of either fragrances?

My options for testing are probably limited to using paper cards as I wait for the outbound flight but it will hopefully give me enough of an idea.

Looking for a woody winter frag, considering CDG wonderwood after liking a sample any recs/thoughts?

>>14636550
Yes, I own full bottles of both. Arguably this is pointless, but I don’t mind.

L’Homme is very linear. What you get in the opening is what you get throughout. If you like the scent that’s no bad thing, but I understand why some get bored with it. Projection is reasonable and longevity is inexplicably good for me considering how light it is.

Eau for Men is much more interesting. It has more depth, but it lacks the freshness of L’Homme. Both are inoffensive, both project and last similarly. I’d say Eau leans more masculine whereas L’Homme could be unisex.

>>14636568
I see, thanks for the explanation. Do you think it makes sense to get the two fragrances at the same time? (BDC and L'homme) I haven't had the opportunity to test any in person but going by the listed notes, BDC sounds like something which I'd like. I won't necessarily use them for winter as I will probably get something else for colder months. These to me seem like good choices for Autumn and perhaps spring/summer.

What I know about fragrances is limited to what I've read online so quite limited really...

>>14636566
Anything oud from Tom Ford

Is AHSEE discontinued or not? I see it on Debenhams/John Lewis for sale, but not on Boots or the Chanel website...

>>14636588
BDC is a great all-rounder. You can wear it whenever you want and it’s very safe. If you just want to smell “nice” you could just buy a big bottle of that and never buy anything else. It’s a jack of all trades, master of none. It’s not the most unique, it’s not the best performing, it’s certainly not the cheapest, but it does exactly what it sets out to do.

That said, L’Homme is cleaner and fresher. It’s more like smelling like expensive soap. They’re both different enough that you could justify buying both, there’s no issue there, but if your budget is limited just buy BDC and start sampling at a later date.

When trying BDC, just try the EdT or EdP. The Parfum is too expensive.

>>14636601
EDP sounds like the one for me out of the trio so I will most likely go to test that one first. On the possibility that I find L'homme a bit too safe... is there anything else which you would suggest looking at that is again a fairly complementary purchase alongside BDC? I think anything like Eros would be too obnoxious for general fragrance.

For example my current shaving scents are DR Harris Windsor and Lavender so something that doesn't class would be ideal

>>14635119
That is the problem in germany. You need to sign.

>>14636636
It really depends on your budget.

Armani’s Acqua Di Gio Profumo is great. Decent performance, not too expensive, similarly “classy” to L’Homme, but in a different way.

Eau Sauvage Parfum is a good choice (note: EAU Sauvage, not the Johnny Depp one). It’s one of my favourites. A nice light opening but lots of depth, and great performance.

>>14636353
big time failure

>>14636651
Forgot to say that ADG Profumo has Lavender, so that would mix nicely with your shaving scent.

>>14636599
No, you aren't looking very hard.

Does anyone know of a less expensive clone of Tuscan Leather by TF?

>>14636318

>>14635999
for daily I alternate between Prada L'Homme, Acqua Di Parma Colonia Essenza and Channel Sycomore, because those are safe office frags. On summer I go more for ADP, now in fall/winter more for Sycomore.
As a date scent I use Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Intense, it's smoky-rosey-something-something, very sexy imo.
Still new at this so I don't have a lot of frags.

Should I bother trying Spicebomb Extreme if I don't like regular spicebomb? How similar are they? Also, what is the hot take on Versace pour Homme? I'm considering it as a cheap general purpose scent since I like the smell.

>>14636312
How do you like Asspen?

Hey, I am new to this. Just wanted to share that today it was my first day wearing a decent fragrance (dior sauvage, got it as a free sample) and I am honestly surprised. It is 23h, and I put it 2 times on my neck at 8h before leaving home and it still smells, even though I went to the gym and was dressing and undressing (due to cold). I am honestly surprised. Is this normal or it is my skin that is actually retarded?

>>14637945
Depends on the fragrance and your skin some stuf barely lasts for 2 hours while others last for a day or even more. Sauvage is pretty long lasting, enjoy your journey into perfume but prepare your wallet
