So it turns out we're not the most autistic sniffers out there...

Getting compliments every day I wear by the fireplace. Smells good, everybody loves it, full bottle worthy

what fragrance should i wear if i dress like pic related in uni? i am 22 old studying international trade

>>14675226
My girlfriend in college got me Armani code

I'm done anons. Just completed my dream Fall/Winter wardrobe. I might cop samples here and there but I really don't feel like changing anything here as it fits 100% my style, vibe and all occasions I can think of. Also, post your F/W collections, rate, comment.

Still waiting for my Indonesian Oud, Pegwell Bay and Le Frenchy samples.

Any recommendation for a minty citrus fragrance? If anyone has tried this body wash, this is the smell I’m looking for. Reminds me of a clean and friendly doctors office

Im curious how do other people rotate through their frags? Do you have a signature frag? Do you get a new frag every time an old one gets used up? Do you rotate through frags often such as when you get bored of one, special events, only during season change or only wear one all year round?

>>14675289
I don’t know almost any of these but they look very interesting on Fragrantica. I get a dark academia sort of the feel from this.

all i wear is tom ford black orchid (im a man) what is you guys' opinion on it? ill probably wear it anyway because I like it and get lots of compliments on it but when I look it up it's all women who wear it so I'm just curious. I treat it like an accessory kind of if that makes sense, like ill wear it on certain occasions or if I have reason to be wearing a suit just cause I don't feel like everyone wants to smell me all the time. I think I'm just scarred from being in high school when axe body spray came out lol. another thing is I had an ex that wore Viktor and rolf flower bomb and I love the way that shit smells and would like to smell like that desu but I feel or that one is most definitely too feminine of a scent for me.

>>14675324
go back to your containment thread

Have you had intercourse today?

Any input on Zara frags?

Just blind copped Shaghaf Oud and Shaghaf Oud Abyad. Thoughts?

for the past 5 years all i've been wearing is Habit Rouge, it's honestly my favorite perfume

can anyone rec me something that would be a good new addition since i want to start diversifying my fragrances?
only scents i'm hard against is aquatic shit

in my early 20's if that helps

>>14675203
I'm the guy who blindly copped these few weeks ago. Encre noir is my favorite right now but I think the ck is better for going out/dates, it's just sexier for some reasons. Lacoste white is ok but way worse than the other ones. It does smell fresh but it's too much safe as a fragrance, I think I'm looking for something more peculiar.

>>14675432

Patrician taste

bros i need suggestions for a winter/fall frag im new to this and ive been doing research on different ones i want to try, im going to a mall tomorrow and im going to test some
so far my idea list for testing is as follows

bleu de chanel (i think this one might be popular and im trying to avoid frags that remind people of other people)
club de nuit intense
thierry mugler pure malt
lalque encre noire
zoologist Squid Extrait de Parfum (store probably ownt have it but it seems interesting)
Salt Caramel Eau de Parfum
Wonderwood Eau de Parfum by Comme des Garcons
Blackpepper Eau de Parfum same guys as above
id like to test aventus if i can but it's too expensive for a bottle might just by a decant and use for dates if i like it keep in mind i have no idea what i want yet any suggestions?

>>14675489
More 15 year olds should wear habit rouge. Much better then most of the new shit out there.

What do y’all think is the age limit for wearing Jeremy Fragrance style compliment getters?

Thoughts on Frederic Malle?

Everything is high quality and smells upper class, but also seems like it’s off putting to a good amount of the population.

I want to love French Lover, but every few whiffs seem a little too abrasive.

It seems like they’re aren’t any middle ground fragrances between niche and designer.

I've taken a look at some Jacques Bogart frags on fragrantica... Not sure if they'd suit my style or image but OMS Ruby looks interesting from the honey/incense/oud/apple combo it apparently gives off from fragrantica ratings.

what's a fragrance for men that smells like fresh clean ocean/beach smell?

>>14675427
Try some more by Guerlain, Vetiver, L'instant edp, Terre d'hermes, Bel Ami Vetiver, Chanel Antaeus, YSL Kouros.

And there you have it, folks. Erosfag was the problem the whole time. Color me shocked.

Got 30ml of L'eau D'ambre Extreme, Mon Numero 10 and Timbuktu each for €60 total. Timbuktu is probably my favourite, but the smoky note in Mon Numero 10 is amazing as well. Also ambre extreme is my first time smelling amber, really like it. This was probably my best buy of the year
>>14675299
I just pick one every day that I feel like wearing. Certain ones I save for special occasions, but these are often samples. I often also rake my clothes into account, today I wore all black so I went with Black Phantom by Killian something fruity would feel out of place

I can grab a 100ml of CK Reveal and a Deo stick combo for like £30.
do I spend this week's tip money on this? Or do I invest in a better frag? Keep in mind I'd rather have a bottle to use than more samples in my ever growing collection.

>>14675432
Since you like encre noir maybe try to sample black afgano, a city on fire, zagorsk or avignon if you want something peculiar in a smokey way. Cdg 2 is also quite weird with that metallic scent. If you want to go all out insane sample secretions magnifique
>>14675675
Solid list, maybe try by the fireplace or jazz club they are also really cosy. Club de nuit intense is pretty similar to aventus so I wouldn't even bother getting aventus. Zara vibrant leather is also pretty close but only lasts for about half an hour
>>14675751
Try carnal flower it is a snice orange blossom frag, very delicate.

Smells like something an old man like Cary Grant would wear. Stuffy and dated as fuck. If you really wanna smell like an entrepreneur you go for Invictus, Eros, or Sauvage. Terre d’Hermes is right out as well, you’ll smell like a prosecutor.

Roja Enigma. Also heard one of the newer Kilian “budget” frags smells like Cola. Forget which one, I think it was called “Good Boys are no Fun” or something obnoxious like that.

>>14676565
They are. This is what happens to generals. You get some regulars who sort of organically cultivate a “personality”, and other dipshits decide they want to be special too, so they decide “ok, I’mma be the dude who spams Eros nonstop, I’ll be Erosposter!”. Eventually, the contrived “personalities” start trying to out-shitpost each other and all the good posters get fed up and leave and the general turns to complete shit.

People like hookerfag are fine, he’s not trying to force a gimmick, he’s just a dude who likes hookers and posts a lot of actual content and is generally pretty helpful. Erosfaggot just shitposts and adds nothing to the threads. He is cancer. Unfortunately, the cancer usually wins.

Thats actually completely wrong. Eros is a fucking FRAGRANCE. This is a fucking FRAGRANCE thread. People post EROS because it's fucking GOOD. FEmales LIKE IT.

>>14677029
The eros posts aren't actually fucking productive though. Just posting an Eros ad or just saying "eros is sexy" is not actually contributing to any kind of intelligent, constructive conversation about fragrances. It's just fucking shitposting.

>>14675324
They're all worth checking out imo.
>>14675401
Cheap copies of popular scents. However, some of them are worth the money from what I've heard. Do your research though.
>>14675427
EdT or EdP? That's funny as EdT came across to me as an old men scent. Try Eau Sauvage, Egoiste and Guerlain Vetiver (or its Extreme flanker if you want a modern take on it).
>>14675432
Don't blindbuy anon. All of these scents are readily available to test in most of pharmacies.
>>14675677
They're all ok, but test them yourself first. It might be quite hard to get CdG,Lalique or Zoologist in a mall though. In this case try one of the sampling websites. If I could recommend a list of F/W fragrances for everyone to test to have basic understanding of possibilities, this would be
>Serge Lutens Chergui, Ambre Sultan
>Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum, Homme line, Fahrenheit, Oud Ispahan
>Channel Egoiste, Antaeus
>Kouros
>Tauer Marocain
>Burberry London
>CdG 2 Men, CdG Wonderwood, Avignon
>Tam Dao, Oud Palao
>Bentley for Men Absolute (very similar to CdG 2 Men in great price)
>Amouage Interlude, Jubilation 25

>TF Oud Wood, Tobacco Vanille, Tuscan Leather
>Hermes TdH, Belami

I don't agree with that. I think they're one of the most wearable niche brands around. For sure, they're not even close to the prevalent ambroxan blue type fragrances that you smell on streets in terms of crowdpleasing but none of them is particularly challenging (I haven't try the Arabian prive line yet though). Scents like Vetiver Extraordinare, POAL or GPM are somewhere in the middle imo

Btw, all of you people looking for F/W frag, you should give a try to Eau des Baux From L'Occitane. It's a great cheapie with a lot of character.
>>14675760
>>14675769

Bogarts are not safe blind buys mate. They're synthetic powerhouses from 80's that many people will find outputting. You can always gift a bottle to your father I guess.
>>14675985
Great stuff. I wish L'artisan was discussed more here. Timbuktu is one of my favourite vetivers. But I eventually sold my bottle as I wanted to limit myself to 6 bottles for F/W >>14675289 Also you've got vintage prereformulation bottles. Where did you get these?
>>14675992
Have you tried it? If not, then don't. Saving your money to £100 could get you a very snice bottle.
>>14676257
Baccarat Rouge 540 lmao (not kidding here). Also Aramis Havana has this coca-colish facet of tobacco. Then you've got 1 Million if you want a fuccboish poor taste scent.

>>14676790 >>14675289
>>14675299
>Im curious how do other people rotate through their frags?
I roughly divide my frags according to the weather and time of the day and then pick one depending on the mood and qualities I want to exude. They give me an aura of quiet confidence and add a layer to my presence.
>Do you have a signature frag?
Not really, but I might have one at some point as I realized that with time I make my collection smaller and smaller. At my peak I used to have around 30 bottles. Now I limited myself to 6 for S/S and 6 for F/W. However, I tend to have some signature note groups/accords.

>>14676790
I didn't comment on your roto eventually in my massrepiies. Good and versatile mix between niche and designer imo. You'll get some hate for JPG but I can imagine where having this bottle comes from. Did you prefer Valentino over Dior Homme? I used to be on the fence with these two. Then eventually I moved on. Also how is Red Tobacco?

>>14677158
Jpg comes from the fact that I adore the scent, and the fact that every girl that I dated went nuts over it. As for Valentino, yeah most definitely prefer it over DH/DHI. Red tobacco has a monstrous projection and lasting power. Fills the room woth half a spray, lasts easily 12 hours and more. Stays on clothes and in rooms for days literally. As for the scent, it is really sweet cherry dark tobacoo scnet, wonderful in itself.

>>14677218
Interesting. How does it compare to Chergui? It also have this cherry tobacco quality to it. Is it sharp?

>>14677134

based quorum poster

One day I will be able to afford this god tier fragrance. Sampled it yesterday and I've never known anything like it. By far the best vanilla frag I've ever smelt, so strong, mature. Its still on my skin 12+ hours later

>>14677234
forgot pic. Bourbon Vanilla Ermenegildo Zegna for men

>>14677223
Yeah, that's a bummer but longevity is really bad in Philosykos. If you'd like to trade some of the projection for a bit more for longevity then I can recommend trying Diptyque's oil roll-on. I gifted it to my gf for some occasion and it lasts for 4h+. The projection is about a feet though, changing to a skin scent halfway through. Let me think about other stuff. Did you try Byredo Pulp? It's very fig-heavy but there are also some other fruits, so idk if that's your thing. You should test it first though as it is literally a photorealistic strong pulp scent that some people hate. I sold my bottle because while I appreciated it a lot, I couldn't imagine wearing it. I can easily imagine people around you asking themselves who spilled some freshly squeezed juice no his clothes. Performance is very, very good though. I've sampled two fig heavy L'artisans at some point; Premier Figuier and Caligna. PF was really snice and hitting the same vibe as Philosykos (but a bit more smooth and complex). Caligna was more woody and deeper. Both worth sampling imo. Acqua di Parma has some fig-based scent in their blue line. It was on of my favourites of this line and they should be readily available for testing in any department store. When it comes to cheapies then I've heard good things about Ferrari's Noble Fig (don't mind the brand - the line it belongs to is quite good, I really liked my Bright Neroli from them). You can also give a try to Molinard's Figue, I was quite impressed about their scents. Especially for the pricetag. But didn't test it on my skin. Also Armani Prive line had some Fig scent that was very fresh and bright now that I'm thinking about it. Come back and report if you liked any of these recs.

>>14677234
>>14677237
Quite excited about my Indonesian Oud from the same Zegna's line coming today/tomorrow.

>>14677221
Much better than chergui imo, red tobacco is bold. If you do more than a spray it is too much

stale cum

>>14677248
I sampled that as well and it was really nice. where are you getting it from? Bourbon vanilla blew everything out of the water though

>>14677253
Yeah, I get your point but the more I'm into frags the less I care about very strong projection desu. Sometimes I prefer to have a subtle almost skinclose scent that can be revealed only to those who I'm close with and not to be bothered with randos. I don't owe anything to them, I wouldn't talk to them so why would I share my fragrance.
>>14677268
Yeah, I expect it to be snice. I'm still curious about finding the perfect Rose+Oud accord that would work better for me than Montale. I got a 10ml sample from a fb group.

>>14677276
Hmm, you may like tabac rouge from phaedon then. Much softer, kinda smells like tobacco vanille, but with honey amd benzoene instead of vanilla

>>14677241
TRIED BYREDO PULP, FOUND IT WAY TOO FRUITY. IT'S AN INTERESTING SCENT, BUT, AS YOU SAID, IT'S NOT ONE YOU WOULD WEAR.
ALSO SAMPLED FIGUIER ARDENT FROM ATELIER. LOOKED VERY PROMISING BASED ON THE NOTES, BUT IT HAS SOME KIND OF "STING" TO IT, LIKE YOU'RE INHALING LITERAL DUST PARTICLES, ABSOLUTELY UNBEARABLE. BERGAMOT + PEPPER COMBO IS THE PRIME SUSPECT.
ARMANI PRIVE - FIGUIER EDEN. ALSO SAMPLED. IT'S NICE, BUT NOT AS FRESH. PROJECTION IS NON-EXISTANT. IT'S JUST A WAY DIFFERENT TAKE ON FIG. OVERALL NOT WORTH ITS PRICE FOR ME.
L'ARTISAN PREMIER FIGUIER. VERY NICE. CLOSE TO PHILOSYKOS, BUT LEANS IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. SADLY I'M NOT EXPERIENCED ENOUGH TO DESCRIBE IT EXACTLY, BUT OH IT'S GOOD. TO MY DESPAIR, IT DOESN'T LAST AND DOESN'T PROJECT (NOT UNLIKE PHILOSYKOS). I HAVEN'T SAMPLED THE EXTREME VERSION, BUT JUDGING FROM WHAT PEOPLE SAY, IT DOESN'T GET BETTER.
NOBLE FIG / MOLINARD FIGUE / FICO DI AMALFI - COULDN'T FIND SAMPLES AT THE TIME, THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE I CAN ORDER ONE FOR FICO DI AMALFI RIGHT NOW. NOBLE FIG IS ONLY AVAILABLE AS A FULL BOTTLE AND MOLINARD DOESN'T SEEM AVAILABLE AT ALL.
ADDED CALIGNA TO MY LIST.

>>14678477
>pencilneck
They don't know that term and wouldn't dare use it to begin with, because it fits them too closely and not you (hopefully) or I. If you're trying to wear classic masculine frags I hope your neck is at least 16-17 inches around, or I fear that trannyposter may be correct after all.

My 14 year old brother just bought a bottle of sauvage, he's wanted it ever since I gave him a cheap bottle of cologne I got as a gift for xmas (topman cologne) but I also think him smelling all the colognes I have made him want to get his own, pretty funny that he went online, read reviews then went to the dior store and bought a bottle though

This is me I forgot to post:

>Early Fall:
-L'Occitane Eau de L'Occitan (woody lavender, my daily driver that I put away for summer, it shines this time of year though)
-Diptyque Tam Dao
-Hendley Untited (sampling this, tried it in the Spring and I'm going to revisit for fall)
>Mid-Fall
-Lalique Encre Noire (this is a super rare wear for me, but need to include the meme)
-Imaginary Authors A City on Fire (should be fun for those dark October nights)
>Late Fall
-Hendley Fume (like A City on Fire but more pine right for when the snow starts)

>>14678617
Sauvage is great tho. Maybe not for a kid

I didn't expect this to smell as good as it does.
Anybody else wear this in the summer?
Is the "cologne" any different?

L'artisan guy here, I got them from a site that is pretty much like eBay but just for my country, there arent a lot of people into perfume here so there are some deals to be had. I believe this was a discovery set that was later cancelled Also on the subsection of my country on fragantica there is a really tight knit community who ship samples for free or really cheap which is snice. Got 10 ml of do son from there for €10 including shipping

>>14678708

If you like the cheap shitty drug store version, wait til you try the Special Reserve.

I'll check it out then. Thanks.

Alright lads stopped by saphora and macy's today to sample and I have to say I THINK i like tom ford's vanilla tobacco but i could see it being too much for me down the line, I liked REPLICA's by the fireplace, bleu de chanel jimmy choo and i forget the rest.
I stopped by macy's to pick up a sample kit for 15$ and the lady was really nice and gave me three more frag samples free two of which i was looking at. My question now is what is the best way to test them, should i put it on my wrist since i find it hard to smell on my chest throughout the day? Also which sample should i wear to a date you think?
pic related.

anyone tried any of the other geo f trumper frags?

>>14675771
where can i buy this m8?

What separates 80s and 90s fragrances from ones released in the 2000s onwards? Besides sweetness.

>>14678875
>how to sample
Spray on the forearm or the back of your hand and smell over time. If you don't want to spray it on yourself, you can use an index card or something. It won't smell quite the same as using your skin, though.

>>14679405
80s frags tended to be powerhouses, massive projection and longevity, one or two sprays of the strongest ones are equivalent to grabbing a modern frag and smashing the bottle against your chest. They tended to use more ingredients in their formula, and lots of ingredients that are now banned (animals, naturals) or severly restricted.

>>14678600

How long did it take for you to nail down frags that were right for you?

>>14679564
Like a year to be honest. It was the moment I stumbled upon Eau Sauvage Parfum and got hooked. Eventually I've resold all of bottles that I bought before that. You're doing it the smart way mate though. Keep sampling desu. People are not aware for how long a 5/10ml sample can last.
>>14678875
I always spray beneath my ears and at my wrists. Remember that to truly understand a fragrance you need to wear a sample full day for couple times.
>>14678762
What country?
>>14678714
Is this a pencilbox lmao? Also mirin' your samples.
>>14678691
>I want to try Nicolai sometime, not sure what to sample
Try Patch Intense and NYI. As far as I know they also have some discovery kits on their website.
Also nice and quite unusual roto for this thread (apart from Tam Dao and EN).
>Hendley Fume
How does it smell? I'm a sucker for natural fir smell.
>>14678676
Thx mate. To be honest I'm on the fence of abandoning this thread. Thanks to all eros/quorum/civet posts there's barely any discussion happening her. You can't even get (you)'s for helping people for most of the time. This place used to be different.

>>14678875
I've found out that to get the best representation of how a fragrance smells over time is by spraying only the back of your neck. Just 2-3 shots right to the back of the neck. Avoid the sides on your neck or throat. You WILL go noseblind and you won't smell yourself. Back of the neck leaves a trail and you'll catch whiffs throughout the day. You'd be surprised how long a fragrance sticks around behind you if you've been used to olfactive fatigue.

>>14679786
So how do you smell it then yourself after spraying only your neck? Running autistically like in Naruto and then turning around? Running in circles and sniffing?

>>14679790
The scent follows you around. I catch whiffs when turning my head and such. It creates a bubble that you can smell throughout the day. The same principle would apply if you spray your throat/sides of neck, it's just that in those location you'll go noseblind almost instantly and won't be able to smell it anymore. These subtle "whiffs" are important because that's what your frags smell like to others when it's in the air or your downwind when walking past them.

Do you guys think wearing a frag that contrasts the ocassion or outfit/style you're going for can be a memorable thing to others?
Like wearing a fresh sporty frag like AHS or Polo Blue with a grungy fit? Or wearing something soapy or office like to a date like Amber PH or Costa Azzura?

im searching for a flowery but not sweet fragrance. i googled but didnt find anything good that was male or unisex. is it ok to wear women frageance if its not sweet or do you have a favorite you can recommend (again pls nothing sweet or smoky or i get headaches). as a side note my favorite fragrances are mugler cologne, voyage d hermes edp and allure homme edition blanche.

TS talks about just that in the old AZ guide, recommending going for opposites.
>Some mischief and surprise are needed to keep life fresh, for you to smell your perfume anew. Therefore, I urge you, if you are a floral gal, to set aside prejudice and wear a thing without flowers. If you are a luxury goods kind of gal, with a Kelly bag on your arm and Manolos on your feet, I urge you to try on something that you believe to be beneath you. If you are ultrafeminine, wear a man’s scent. And if you are butch, doll it up for once. Live a little. Try it on. It’s only perfume. TS

>>14678714

Yeah I realized it fits most samples and decants perfectly, helps keep my desk from being a mess

Also you will be pleased to hear I just upgraded my Eau Sauvage to the Parfum version, now I gotta sell my old one on Ebay

>>14680238
sauvage smells fucking disgusting and it's immensely popular, no idea why you guys have acquiesced to it's existence while simultaneously calling TDH sauvage for evil corporate types
(which is honestly a good way to describe it, everyone I know who wears it is either a finance or law cunt but that's beside the point)

Can anyone recommend a fall fragrance that's similar to CdG Hinoki? I love it but the performance is not great and I'm looking for something I can be sure will last most of the day.

Thoughts on Bath & Body Works Teakwood body lotion?

>>14680252
>sauvage smells fucking disgusting

This. Literally a little bit of pepper, citruses and shitload of sweetness. Can zoomers fuck off with all the Sauvage, Eros and Creed?

>>14680238
Snice. Gonna get myself such a pencilcase as well. Congrats on getting Eau Sauvage Parfum. However, I think that the EdT still has its place.
>>14680252
You confuse Dior Eau Sauvage (classic Roudnitska's scent originating 60's, albeit we talk about modern reformulations mostly here) with Dior Sauvage. We despise the latter.

>KINO vs. action movie
>subtle narrative focusing on emotions vs. ROCK, BIG CITY, FAST CARS, DRIFTING, LOUD MUSIC

Oh shit I used to wear that in HS. This takes me back.

I did get compliments on the fragrance but it was too potent for me in the long run.

This is the stuff I've been using for years. I barely use it and only spritz like 1 or 2 so it last me a long time.

>>14680416
And gigachad is literally the basic bitch of dudes.

>>14680416

>narrowing fragrances down to 5
Must be nice. I'm in the process of exploring right now. I'd like to cut my 20-something bottles down to about half in the future.

>>14675294
Anyone wanna answer this

Gonna take a shower and give Pegwell Bay a proper wear this night out.

>>14680597
Oh yes it is nice. I just felt some uneasiness from having too many bottles. But I guess it might be just the fact that I don't like hoarding stuff. Exploring is fine. Just remember that reselling bottles is pain in the ass and you'll loose way more money than with samples that way. I wish I'd known this when I was starting.

>>14675294
Sorry, I've missed your post mate. Give a try to Carven L'eau Intense. It was composed by Kurkdjian himself and is really cheap. One of my go-to summer frags.

my father just gifted me this, can i pull it off on fall/winter

>>14680614
how pronounced is the lavender? This was one of the ones i was looking at, but I already have too many lavender-heavy frags

>>14680619
Mint takes the first stage here and then there are citruses and lavender. It's balanced out really well.

>>14680626
Thanks bro. Will look for a sample.

>>14680608
I mostly buy cheap/discounted stuff and samples, so it isn't too bad. I don't make many blind purchases anymore. Started out with a few, and it didn't end too well. Reselling wouldn't be too bad if shipping weren't so damn expensive.

Serious question. Are women attracted to this kind of guys? I would fuck every instathot I see, but can't really wrap my head around that level of metrosexuality being attractive. If they do, then the only explanation I can find is that typically they're quite ripped guys, so probably this fact solely leverages them with women.

>>14680754
Real talk, young club thots like that look, over 25 or so, they’ll probably just laugh their asses off if you show up looking like that.

>>14680643
They look like they’re trying too hard to be Dan Bilzerian, an overcompensating manlet who spends his time banging hookers on daddy’s dime.

This all a Chad needs. Wearing Quorum while lifting.

Where do I start with wearing fragrances? I literally only have one afterahve that ill wear sometimes. Should I just buy something in a store or do I have to actually look for certain things?

Does anyone have the depth chart of perfume? I want to see how far down I've gone :/

I'm going to grab some Tom ford samples. Looking at Costa Azzura, TL, TV and Oud Wood.
Should I just grab 1mls of each?

>>14680122
Yes You Are Correct

>>14680884
Azzaro PH > Paco, desu

Need some well performing summer/spring/warm weather niche frags.

Thinking about neroli portofino forte and mancera cedrat boise; any more suggestions?

>>14680850
Do you own any full bottles?

>>14680993
Does it smell similar to Paco Homme?

>>14680997
you like aquatics or no?

>>14681004
Extremely similar, but just more of everything. Double the dihydromyrcenol content and it has a bit more spiciness. I like Drakkar Noir even more than both though.

>>14681024
Great. I love PR Pour Homme, should try out Drakkar, heard it's performance is even better!?

>>14681026
Yep, new bottles of both Azzaro PH and Drakkar Noir have excellent performance. Easily an entire workday with projection for almost half that, and light wafts until you shower indefinitely.

LMAOing at Jeremy. We all knew he’d tank his own success. His channel is now a glorified ad campaign for his own fragrance, and he’s insulting his viewers for not wanting to watch that. Outstanding behaviour. To think this might be the first time he knew success, and he’s blowing it.

>>14681060
>shilling for an obvious fraud

Dude, bought 2 - 3 frags by his recommendation. 100 % disappointed, too sweet, too mass pleasing. Find my taste in vintage stuff.

>>14680993
"Pour Homme" is not a specific type of fragrance. It just means "For men" Joop pour homme and Paco pour homme and Azzaro pour homme smell nothing alike.

Going to have to buy Eau Sauvage, lads. I’ve been putting it off for so long because of the performance, but it’s not all about performance, is it? I have Eau Sauvage Parfum, which is a 10/10, but it’s sometimes a little heavy. Might go big and get 100ml.

>>14681065
What? How am I shilling Jeremy? I’m saying he’s an idiot.

>>14681066
What the fuck are you talking about? Azzaro Pour Homme is a fragrance, just like Paco Rabanne pour Homme is a fragrance. They are both aromatic fougeres from the 70s that smell extremely similar to eachother, literally both created to emulate the scent of shaving cream. Have you even smelled either? Please do some more sniffing.

Where did I include Joop in there? Where did I say that "Pour Homme" is a fragrance category? Did you not see I also discussed Drakkar Noir as well? It's not "Drakkar Noir Pour Homme," you know.

>>14680253
Aesop Hwyl smells almost identical but better than Hinoki.

What occasion would Quorum be worn in? Clubbing, going to work, what?

>>14681081
No, Azzaro and Paco Rabanne don't smell very similar to me. I am not saying they have absolutely nothing in common, but they don't seem very alike. Azzaro and Drakkar smell similar to each other. I mentioned Joop ph as just another example of a pour homme.

>>14681060
Jeremy is a failure. It’s what he’s always been, it’s what he always will be. He can’t cut it. Just doesn’t have what it takes. This is a pattern for him. He gets close, but never really makes it because his ego tells him he should have more than he does. He has a Kanye ego with an amateur’s talent. If he was smart, he’d be satisfied with what he has and not try to overreach, but he’s not, so he always ends up knocking down whatever he’s managed to build.

>>14681091
Fair enough, everyone's nose is different. BUT, you're still not grasping that nowhere did I say that "pour homme" is a specific type of fragrance. It's clearly a moniker used to designate that it's marketed towards men. Where did I say anything that negates that? Are you even responding to the right post? Please read it again, you're legitimately making my brain hurt

>>14681087
Wouldn't say it's a clubbing frag, nor is it actually mass pleasing. Just imagine a scene in a 80s gangster movie, all the vintage clothing and cars, Quorum fits 100% in there. I like it for what it is, i like the 80s too.

>>14680988
Sauvage smells absolutely nothing like the adds.

It smells like every other Mexican high schooler going on a date in the local suburban mall.

>>14681060
I genuinely think he has some sort of learning disability. Just check out his music page.

>>14681104
Calm down. I just misinterpreted the coversation, I thought it was being implied that "pour homme" was a specific category of frag. I guess I thought wrong. Sorry.

>>14681106
So, would it work for just going somewhere to hang out? More casual than work, not as sexual as clubbing?

>>14681123
Thanks bro. Now enjoy some Aqua Quorum

>>14681128
In my opinion Quorum is a fresh vintage frag, medium sillage and longevity. Very vintage soapy, with a bergamote in the opening, add some dark tones too. If i would describe it, i would say a guy like pic related would smell like this. I'm not that old, but i love the mature and clean vibe from this frag, while wearing it. Especially meeting girls or at the gym.

Prada Luna Rossa, yes or no?

>>14681144
>Prada Luna Rossa

>>14679714
Fume opens incredibly smokey and settles down to a spicy pine scent. It's worth a try if you enjoy smoke and pine, but not if you're after a more sweet syrupy style of pine

I might just have to get a discovery of Nicolai. Their Cap Neroli was intriguing me when I was after florals and I've heard good things about their fig scent. Thanks for the compliment. Honestly both Tam Dao and EN are a result of the memeing in the history of /frag/ but they're both rare wears for me

I'm no expert on mint, but give Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca a shot (it can be found super cheap). In the niche realm, Imaginary Authors Saint Julep jumps to mind. I know there are a ton more mint fragrances out there though, do a search for your question on basenotes

I have about 20 bottles. My favorites from the samples are all the Dyptiques (pictured: Philosykos edp,edt; L'eau du 34 and Vetyverio) PdM Herod, Prada Amber PH, The Different Company Adjatay and Creed Royal Oud. Probably my least favorite is Virgin Island Water and Nicolai Vetiver (I somewhat can't get past the blast of coriander). From all my sampling tho, I haven't had one perfume that would make me buy it, closes was Herod (if not for the performance) and Royal Oud (if not for the steep price). Creed prices are not even funny, especially for someone from eastern Europe.

>>14680928
If you do not have pic related you are not deep enough my friendo

If you own bottles, you’re good. You only become... like him... if you only buy samples.

>>14681144
luna rossa, carbon and sport all all great. Sport is a better Eros and Carbon is a better sauvage

Thoughts on bvalgari wood essence? Ive been sampling it today and yesterday and i like it but im not sure if its worthy of a purchase, i think i could make it a casual everyday frag though im still going through all my current samples before finalizing actually buying anything. What do you guys think of viktor and rolf spicebomb?

>>14681178
There’s no reason to buy full bottles (unless it’s a daily driver) or own more than 3 at a time. You can at least tuck away samples and hide your autism.

All you people with 10+ bottles are still gonna be unsatisfied with your collection. Most of it will go unused and you are going to keep searching for the perfect scent that will be replaced in a few months.

It’s your money though

Someone go make a meme new thread to piss off the neckbeards

>>14680618
I could wear it all-season even if I prefer it for >70F, but it seems like a waste when you have the opportunity to wear /comfy/ shit instead that might not be suitable for Spring/Summer.

Thoughts on youtube channels redolessence and gent scent? I like a lot of their review episodes but i am new to frags so idk if they are any good. I tried watching jeremy fragerence and think he some some good vids but i hate watching him for some reason i couldnt tell you why might be a sense that hes a naracisist.

Redolessence is fine, Gent Scent is fine, Joy Amin is pretty good, Mr Smelly is pretty good. Reviewing fragrances is hard because without being able to smell it it’s meaningless.

Ultimately whatever people say in a video is irrelevant if you don’t like it. You could watch a 30 minute video about how something is the greatest fragrance of all time, but if you go to the shop, smell it and don’t like it you’ve wasted 30 minutes of your life.

>>14681009
Yeah, any suggestions welcome!
Also don’t have any good citrus atm
