I'm looking for a frag that'll suit a modern take on the Mod look (double breasted pinstripe suit, havana glasses, floral tie and monkey boots) that'll match the feel I'm going for.
What houses should I try out?

>>14708452
Show us some inspos, as I can't wrap my head around your description really. What's the context of this look?

Can you Asian anons comment on how the fragrance is perceived in your cultures? Is anything more than a faint acquatic/fresh scent already too much in your culture?

SOTD: Pegwell Bay
What are you wearing today anons?

>>14708539
MFK Oud. Dark, rainy day and it works well.

>>14708539
Lapidus pour homme later slow explosions by imaginary authors.

ok im getting versace eros i just want compliments thats it

>>14708650
But you can get compliments with almost any frag, anon. Why get one that sucks?

>>14708684
Whats that scent on the left

>>14708704
Thanks Anon

>>14708422
Pretty obscuro list from our hoo'ers. I was just looking at Dzing! yesterday. I always turn away because I see sweet/toffee and they talked about "elephant dung". Still want to finally try a L'Artisan though, maybe Timbuktu for the fall would be safer. Also want to grab the January Scent Project sample set.

>>14708308

It’s a safe blind buy, but not what you describe. It’s cheap as fuck but has poor longevity these days. It’s the dumbest of dumb reaches for me. Six sprays, nobody will notice, go about your business, apply something stronger when you get home.

>>14708538
I’m (American) Japanese so I’m not really a part of the culture, but I do a lot of shopping around where tourists from Japan shop and a lot of my friends are from Japan or have family there
It seems in Japanese culture sticking out and being offensive are considered to be very bad thus most don’t consider wearing fragrance at all. The ones that do prefer something like Jo Malone that is very subtle. The SA at Nordstrom she told me specifically which one (I think pear?) that Japanese people like but I can’t remember

Did you have sex today?

>>14708952
Sorry, Rajesh, even the working girls here in Amsterdam won’t fuck Indian men. Not even joking.

I bought a CdG sample on ebay and the seller gave me a sample of this as a freebee. Why did he waste so much money on a sample I didnt ask for? its 15$ for .7ml on luckyscent

anyway its awesome but too expensive, any reccs on similar?

>>14708952
>>14708970
what should i wear if I want to smell like a hot americanized indian girl's dad whom she has a bad relationship with?

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER

>>14708974
It was fake probably . Also your prices are out of the roof. You can get 0.7 for 1/5th of that price

>>14708538
Asian American but super traditional parents. As in more traditional than many of their contemporary counterparts in Korea. My mom has fragrances from when she was younger but hardly uses them, stuff like Chanel 5, even when going out. My dad throws on aftershave sometimes. But I’d wager 99.9% time they don’t believe in fragrance, often saying it’s too loud and offensive and headache inducing when smelling others in public. I go for high end niche fragrances with lots of sillage and projection and just tone it the fuck down when applying. Gives me just a touch of smells, without the offensive nose. They haven’t complained once so it seems to work well with their bloodhound noses.

>>14708539
Today I’m test driving Profumum Roma Arso

>>14709072

>>14708539
Going to an apple orchard with a qt from work, wearing by the fireplace

>>14708539
Eau Sauvage. Noticed a slight smile from the dentist receptionist when I handed something to her and she complimented the smell. She looked quite young though so I just said thanks and left.

>>14708749
Too late now but Batucada is a nice summer frag. Mint, sugar, rum, and sea notes.

>>14709072
Not for Nasomatto. The price is that high because their bottles are only 30mls. .7 mls of nasomatto is a much higher percentage of a bottle than most other frags.

My signature scent is Versace Pour Homme. Am I a pleb?

>>14709204
No, it's class.

>>14708594
It was really cloying for me. I've ordered 6x2ml sample set month ago (I was the original shiller of it) and every single fragrance was a disappointed. I think Kurkdjian can't create a good not overwhelmingly sweet fragrance anymore. That's a shame, as I'm a big fan of his other creations, e.g. for Carven or MDCI.
>>14708749
Yeah, that's what I like about them. Honestly, I'm really bored of watching permutations of the same 10 frags that every reviewer picks. Encre Noire/DHI etc. I've discovered really good stuff thanks to them. Timbuktu is defo safer. I used to have a bottle myself. I'm also eyeing January Scent Project desu.
>>14708814
Thx, that would make sense why Jo Malone is still a thing despite all of their frags being literally Eau de Cologne in terms of performance.
>>14709083
Arabian Perfume Oils has 95% accurate copy.
>>14709081
Finally someone testing some Profumum Roma. I have a sample of Arso. It's great, deep smokey scent. But a bit too heavy on resins for my taste.
>>14709138
>Eau Sauvage

>>14709183
I can get you 1ml for £5, trust me. Lucky scent is just overpriced.

Post your /samples/ collections boys

Best ambroxan fragrances? I kinda like sauvage but I hate how peppery it is.

>>14709342

>>14709266
I sense an evil presence in this place...

>>14709266
Holy shit.
Which ones you love?

>>14709344
Yeah your 10 dollar piss water is in the same league as sauvage and Luna rossa carbon

>>14709433
Animals don’t feel human emotions like love.

>>14709434
It's better, and I have all three. Stay mad, faggot.

>>14709451
At least based eroschad shills a good frag that thots appreciate

>>14709266
Aww shit. And I thought I was a samplesperg

How much do you think it cost you in total?

>>14709522
do not utter that word.
You risk summoning him

>>14709498
>based eroschad

>>14709522
Quiet, you fool! You know not the autism you bring down upon us!

Where are some lime scented fragrances?

>>14709545
Funny thing, I was actually talking to one of my regular ladies today about Indian guys. She says she won’t see them anymore, if they come to her room, she tells them she has an appointment coming or just quotes them an insane price so they leave. She said she used to see them, but they’d always stink, and they’d never shave their pubes so they’d have giant, disgusting bushes and it would make her gag. She also told me most of had such small dicks that she couldn’t even see them amidst their pube jungles. She said she felt like she needed a guide and a machete to find their cocks. No word of a lie.

>>14709498
You've never smelled Aqua Quorum.

>>14709612
That's a good thing isn't it?

>>14709614
Well, given that it smells like a better version of every blue fragrance from this decade, no. You can stay ignorant and spend 8-10x as much on clones, if you'd like.

Can someone competent with women write to Alex? I miss the Kourosposter

Is Aventus an overhyped meme frag or is it worth copping a 3ml sample and trying out?
I've avoided it simply because of all the clones that are out there and also for the batch variation autism people screech about.

>>14709702
M8, if I couldn’t get her, no one here will. It’s about money, she doesn’t give a fuck about whether you’re “competent with women” (unless you’re a complete sperg), she’s looking for sugar daddies. If she sees me as too small a fish to be worth her while, the rest of you have no hope (unless there are some billionaires here I’m not aware of).

Sorry m8, that’s just how it is.

>>14709715
It’s a great fragrance that became the entry-level niche fragrance everybody raves about. I adore it, but can see why others wouldn’t. Absolutely try it.

>>14709715
it smells like musky lemonade its pretty based i have that clone club de nuit intense coming monday i hope its almost as good

>>14709726
>club de nuit intense
I got memed into copping that too mostly out of curiosity than anything. Should be coming next week

>>14709719
You know the guy she doesn't fuck for money? You know the guy SHE eyes up and down when out and about and fantasizes about plowing her walls? That's Chad, and he's in here somewhere. It's not always about money.

>>14709839
This is maybe the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen posted in these threads. Congrats.

>>14709839
Take your incel speak elsewhere, dork.

>>14709845
>>14709860
how do i know you two are unattractive?

>>14709702
Hookerfag has a girlfriend. He can’t be that incompetent with women. Probably as close as this general comes to a Chad 2bqhfam.

>>14709866
Oh, fer sure my dude, yer a regular super stud. Why not bang Alex yourself, then?

>>14709885
>girlfriend
He literally said they're in an open relationship. She's probably getting blown the fuck out by some of other guy and stringing him along for the money lmao. WOWCHADAF

>>14709894
No, I said we weren’t in an open relationship. I said we were monogamous, she just doesn’t care if I see escorts on the side. She doesn’t consider it cheating. Nice >projection though.

That dude’s right, you do sound pretty incel-y.

>>14709894
Some sperg just always has to have a go at poor Hookerfag, huh?

Sad!

>>14709894
Just stop. You’re embarrassing yourself. Why does based Hookerfag trigger incels so much?

>>14709909
She doesn't care if you see escorts because she knows she can level the playing field by fucking other guys. Are you really this stupid?

>>14709926
Sure bro.

>>14709893
>fucking hookers
never gonna make it

>>14709930
Hey look, a newfag!

>S-she’s cheating on you anyway!
Absolutely pathetic.

>>14709993
>it's not an open relationship
>but I get to fuck other girls
>she's totally okay with that
Yeah, called right the fuck out. Buncha weenies defending a degenerate who pays for pussy lmao

I was looking for a new cold weather fragrance and while looking at suggestions I came across L'Instant de Guerlain Eau Extreme which was highly praised but I think it got discontinued so I'm wondering how does the EdT and EdP compare with it also other autumn/winter frag recommendations are welcome

>>14709266
So is this actually your collection? Or is this He Who Shall Not Be Named? I don't think I ever saw his posts.

If this isn't rock bottom, I have a morbid curiosity with what it looks like.

Shut the fuck up. Hookerfag is an upstanding member of this community. Let him live his hedonistic life in peace

By wearing Eros

last time I was here eros wasn't getting meme'd this hard, what's happened in the past 6 months to a year? are anons memeing it just because of of how often people used to ask about it desite everyone knowing it's a good entry level frag, if a bit overused?

I want a edgelord dark perfume that's still sexy

What should I get?

if you don't like eros comments, just filter "eros" in all comment. works amazingly well anon! that way you won't have to pretend to be butthurt about it

>>14711031
i'm not, it was a genuine question anon

>>14711032
people meme it here bc it's funny as fuck. But also because there are so many videos of how women love it. But in reality women are all noselets.

>>14711022

>>14711103
>lmao stay salty incel while I pay good money for pussy I couldn't otherwise pull hahaha

Question. Why the incells get some butthurt with Hookerman. He is very good poster.

>>14711135
I can see how you find his lifestyle comparable to yours, Ramesh. He, much like yourself, resorts to shelling out his rupees in exchange for sex because pathetic.

Thank you anon

What do you guys consider to be some of the most beautiful frag bottles out there?
For me Christian Lacroix's Tumulte PH ranks pretty highly

>again this incel that can’t get laid without paying for it in this episode larps that he has a niche fragrance girlfriend after going full autistic due to his insecurities because of some innocuous meme being posted
Right, how about you posting the fragrance collection of your fantasy gf?

We appreciate you hookerfag :)

>>14708594
I think you shilled me on it. Been really disappointed with my set. Wearing Amyris today and it honestly just smells like Code Profumo but for 3x the price. MFK is a meme.

it's a VERY cold scent though so i'm not sure it's "sexy"

We gonna talk smellz in here or what?

Anyone try Encre Noire Extreme?

It seems like the only way to try it is to blind buy a full bottle.

>>14711547
I appreciate it, brother.

Saw the same girl from the other day who was wearing that super strong vanilla fragrance again. I took a look for the bottle this time, It was Paco Rabanne Olympea, if anyone’s curious. Pretty vile stuff, in my opinion. I guess she sprayed it on her chest, because I had my face buried in her tits and my whole head reeks of the stuff now. Time for another shower.

On the off chance there are any ladies here, avoid that one. It smells cheap and cloying.

>>14711703
Since you’re here, what’s a fall/winter daily driver you’d recommend?

>>14711600
armani code

>>14711753
Well, I’m a nichefag, so what I consider a daily driver is probably gonna be too expensive for most, but I’d say YSL Tuxedo. It’s just incredibly pleasant and super versatile. Works year round, and can be worn in just about any setting.

It’s the bottle I brought with me this trip.

>>14711775
Hookerfag please tell me you know about nishane, I’m split between my next purchase between Nishane and Profumum Roma. I’ve tried aqua di viva, aqua di sale, dulcis in fundo, arso. Also tried hacivat from nishane. Both houses are killing it and super beastly. Sillage , projection , blend, longevity. i didn’t really like arso on my skin however. Please help me make my decision, should I go for more sample from nishane or just buy a bottle of hacivat now and samples from profumum. Or vice versa bottle from profumum and sample from nishane?

>>14711860
I have sampled a few Nishane frags. It was a while back when the brand first launched on Luckyscent, but I recall liking Hacivat and Fan Your Flames. Hacivat obviously has that Aventus vibe, not super original, but does the formula well. Fan Your Flames is interesting, sort of a standard boozy-tobacco scent, but with the addition of coconut. Definitely a house I need to revisit at some point.

I really do need to check out Profumum Roma. I keep hearing great things. I was hoping to try a few this trip, I thought Skins carried their stuff, but I checked their site and it seems like they don’t. Bijenkorf might, they seem to have a lot of stuff in-store that’s not listed on their site. I have an escort coming tomorrow evening and I don’t fuck during the day when I have an escort booking, so tomorrow’s probably going to be a Bijenkorf/Skins day.

>>14711860
>>14711878
There's something about Arso I dislike... there's a weird note that straddles the pine to me, almost like a powder undertone? Smells like an odd synthetic powdery pine to me , not a fan

>>14711224
This bottle is pretty gay, my vote goes to Azzaro visit bottle. It has a great design

>>14711775

>Tuxedo

How's the new Rochas Moustache as a similar scent?

>>14711878
Agreed hacivat is not original but I feel like it’s a more mature aventus. By replacing the smokiness with a more green woody base they managed to elevate the general profile. Still trying to decide if it’s worth the money.

I honestly think you’ll enjoy profumum a offerings. They make great product. A bit linear in a lot of them however. Give them a try and let us know how you like it please.

>>14711963
Yeah the peppery pine powder I got on my sample did not jive with me at all. I could it seeit layering well with something from their house that’d “brighten” the profile but it’s definitely not as cozy as the description would lead you to believe

How’s Eau Sauvage generally received by the public in this day and age?

What's the highest discount percentage fragrance.net ever has? Seems to be 37% a lot.

>>14712180
Its definitely inoffensive. I cannot imagine anyone would be bothered by the EDT, it's just natural fresh citrus. Its one of those things that has been around forever but will probably never smell dated or old-mannish. I was wearing it as young as age 20. That said, I prefer the parfum version now.

>>14711649
If it's anything like Chanel's Sycomore it may as well be the best fall/cold weather cheapie ever.
>>14712180
Try NY Intense instead, modern take on a classic fougere. Better prices than Dior as well.

Where can I smell Cool water?

>>14712060
Not sure, haven’t tried it. I’d be interested to hear from someone who’s tried both as well, though.

>>14712095
Yeah, I’m not a huge Aventus fan. I have PVI and that’s good enough for me. Hacivat is preferable to Aventus to me as well, but I’m not sure I can justify it given that I own PVI.

I’ll probably order some PR samples when I get back at some point if I can’t have them here. Might not be for a bit, though, gonna be busy when I get back, one of my good buddies is getting married 2 weeks after I’m back.

>>14712264
It’s always 37% (which is the highest) if you use the google shopping trick.

>>14712302

im interested in some trying some montale frags because i hear that they perform really well.
with that said there are two discovery sets on their site im interested in on has
Black Aoud, Wood & Spices, Starry Night, Aoud Leather, Santal Wood, Fougeres Marines, Aoud Forest
the other is an aoud kit with
Black Aoud, Oudmazing, Dark Aoud, Aoud Leather, Aoud Forest, Aoud Greedy, Nepal Aoud

which one in your opionon has the frags more worth trying? i dont know much about aoud but i did sample wood oud by TF and liked it

Is this a reformulation or what? Went to the store today and it was advertised as a "new" fragrance release. Smelled it and all I could think was "Christmas in a bottled", and I really enjoyed it. I never got this feeling with the original Le Male.

Maybe it's the bottle that's messing with my mind?

>>14712302
It’s based as fuck just buy it retard

>>14712302

My report after smelling nearly 20 fragrances today at the mall
>Figured I really don't like vetiver, I don't understand the hype around this note
>Mandarino di Amalfi by Tom Ford is an surprisingly amazing scent, very unique
>K by D&G smells like toilet cleaner (the citrusy one)
>I'm sold on Boss Bottled Intense, smells like warm apple pie, this will be my first Boss fragrance

>>14712318
Is this the Waldo Edition?

Should I pick up YSL l'homme if I recently bought La Nuit de l'homme? I'm desperately in need of a daytime fragrance, but I don't want to own to fragrances that smell very similar (is this the case)

>>14712302
>jeremy and demi rawling start praising cool water
>all of a sudden the erosfags and zoomers are all over it

Kinda had a feeling this would happen a few months ago. Oh well, wearing CW was nice while it lasted

I'm neither a sooner nor erosfag, just want a cheap fresh 'marine' frag for warmer weather cause I realized my meagre collection are all fall / winter frags

Shhh, don't recommend AQ to these ingrates. I've tried for the past two weeks and nobody wants to listen so I'm going to stop too.

>>14712484
>>Terre d'Hermes Edt
smells like grass, like it or not

>>14712484
Mugler Cologne is one of the best examples of that kind of scent. First full bottle I ever bought actually.

>>14712362
Heh

>>14712460
>>14712489
AQ bottle looks amazing, but I want something a bit more fresh and less 'spicy'. Also I'm not too big on lavender

>>14712489
I trust you, my bottle is arriving tommorow.

>>14712316
Aoud Forest is probably the worst fragrance I’ve ever smelled

>>14712316
I could have sworn with Montale you can pick 5 2mls out of (almost) their whole catalog for your set

>>14712546
I hope you're not the same guy I recommended Pino Silvestre to. If you are, has that grown on you at all yet?

>>14712316
what are the top 5 Montales I should try?

>>14712484
>>Terre d'Hermes Edt
while I do love it, it's a very polarizing scent, do not blind buy it.

Tried a sample J-scent Ramune. Smells just like the soda but I wonder what occasions would be good for a scent like that.

>>14712428
it's a better scent than la nuit but equally weak I passed on it solely due to weak performance

>>14712598
Anime cons. Bang chubby weeb qts.

>>14712556
You can but i have no idea what to try, ive tried intense cafe and its too sweet for me, it feels like a woman's scent

What sort of frag would 60's Michael Caine wear?
Think Italian Job, Get Carter, Ipcress File as examples.

>>14712559
No just this week I got aqua quorum,Havana for men, one man show oud edition,Jovan sex appeal and taxi by confulux.

>>14712722
all these frags are between $10 and $20 each, $15 on average. Why don't you just save up and spend those $60 on something decent, instead of these cheap pajeet things?

>>14712734
All of those except the oud are nice European fragrances.

>thinking price equates to qualitt

Based retard

>>14712734
Cause I like them,later I'll buy full bottles of cape heartache,slow explosions, and falling into the sea cause imaginary authors is most based fragrance house.

>>14712745
ok, so you do buy more expensive shit, you're just exploring the cheaper stuff as well? Alright, fair enough.

>>14712687
Gotcha, I've had my eyes on a few things to try when I feel like getting a set from them, but I haven't explored the house yet. Randomly got a sample of Golden Aoud once and hated it, so I'm skeptical about their rose/oud combos.

Looking at these 5 currently: Blue Amber, Honey Aoud, Dark Aoud, Intense Tiare, Day Dreams.

>>14712308
Pineapple vintage intense? Imo it’s similar but the hacivat has that more woody green base. I can see you wouldn’t want a overlap but for me it might be worth it since I don’t have any pineapple/citrus scents

thots on pic related?

Caron Yuzu any good? Yatagan seems to be pushed a bit here, and it was referenced positively alongside Yatagan in a video of these lads I watched last night, while talking mainly about Le 3ème Homme.
>>14708422
Looking at getting a couple of s/s frags for the rotation. Thought Yuzu could be good for hot weather.

>>14712722
Thoughts on Havana? Does it smell dated or old as some ppl say

>>14712929
Smells so good and delectable, the type of fragrance that has you burying your nose into it wanting to smell more.

>>14712929
i want a tom ford scent so badly : [

>>14708952
Yes. Did you?

>>14713013
this shit smells like pierre cardin lmao. the original jovan musk is the ultimate alpha male fragrance.

>>14710037
Ive heard Diptyque Tempo is very similar to LIDGE. Havent tried LIDGE but tempo is great.

>>14713012
git one

>>14712951
It definitely is an 80s smell, it is extremely mature but is a musky tabacco which makes me feel like like it's too old for me. I guess it is a bit dated but I like the scent. Maybe you can use it to get women with Daddy issues.

L’HOMME INFINIMENT

Finally cool enough at night to wear this bad boy again. Huge rose, honey, plum, and "oud". A touch of patchouli. Lingering saffron and citrus. Monster sillage and 24 hour longevity. Amazing fall-winter unisex.

Yeah, Jovan musk is great. Coty Musk is cheaper, but also quite good.

What do fragfrogs here think about Memo Paris?

>>14712878
Yeah. I have one of the old bottles with the metal seal on it from before Parfums Vintage started going full Arab Clones mode. It’s quite good, I agree Hacivat is snicer, but they’re just too similar to justify right now. If Nishane frags were cheaper, I’d be all over it, but with the prices being what they are, if I’m gonna get a Nishane frag, I’m gonna get one that’s more unique.

>>14713541
Haven’t tried them yet, but I hear very good things about Winter Palace. On my must-try list.

>>14712570
>edt
>polarizing
U don’t have a clue what your talking about. Edt is basically 95% water, it’s equivalent to washing your hands with a fragranced soap

>>14713681
Your retarted

Didn't one of you memesters get around to buying some of the spongebob frags? What did you think?

>>14713711
Pretty good Aventus clone. Fruity pineapple batch.

>>14713673
I'm wearing a sample of Winters Palace today and I love it
I'm definitely buying a bottle
Thinking about buying the set with 10x10ml bottles of different Memo perfumes as well

>>14712734
Some of them are really alright. I’m a nichefag with £200+ bottles but used to have Aramis Havana and enjoy it. These would cost equivalent of top designers scents back in its glory days. They just happened to be out of fashion now and hence the price drop.

fucking hell, cdg2 is so good,
I don't see it as a female compliment getter though

Step aside, noselets.

Has anyone actually bought Office for men?

>>14713861
Buy 2 get 1 for free guys! You could even put 10 in your cart and only pay for 5. The perfumer behind this fragrance is the legendary Alberto Morillas

>>14713861
>>14713866
I haven't posted much since around the "work of art" price rise videos. Much drama since?

>>14713772
I can get it for 4 AUD free shipping even if you are memeing. Feel dirty though just buying spongebob,everything else on that store is rudely priced.

Today’s Bijenkorf haul. Very snice stuff. It’s a bit soapy, but in a very snice way, a little spicy, a little woody, there’s citrus, but it’s not too overpowering. This one’s going to be quite versatile, I think. Light enough for summer, but spicy enough for winter. Very happy with it. Gave me a bunch of random samples, too.

Also tried Amouage Portrayal, which I liked and may cop later, as well as the new Feve Delicieuse, which I didn’t like as much as the old version. Smelled like those cherry Vick’s cough drops to me.

>>14713920
I wouldn't bother with Roja out of principle even if I could justify the expense. Speaking of which, I just ordered some instant gratification cheapies instead of sitting down and working out what I want for S/S.

>>14713861
I actually did get a bottle of the original Kickstarter batch, pretty much just for the memes. I didn’t expect it to be anything special, and it’s not (though it is wearable). I pretty much just got it because I expected it to be a spectacular failure and wanted a “souvenir” of sorts of Jeremy’s folly.

>>14713953
Yeah, I hear you. I like his stuff, not all his scents are my cup of tea, but he has some I really do enjoy, so I buy them. I can understand why some people wouldn’t want anything to do with him, though.

We all gotta do us, right?

>>14712484
>Terre d'Hermes Edt

Literally just go to the mall and sample it.

>>14713953

I take a similar issue really, I like quite a few Roja frags but you just can't justify the pricetag buying any of them when it feels like half of it's just for the needlessly decadent bottles with Swarovski crystals and 24ct gold caps. Just have a more normal bottle and price them around what they should be in the £200-300 upper end niche range. I have no problem paying that amount for a top quality niche frag but only when it feels like it's justified for the quality of the fragrance itself rather than a flashy bottle.

Roja Parfums would have a much bigger audience and better sales among serious collectors and nichefags if they stopped being a toy for people with money than sense and retards that just want something flashy. It's irritating they do it when they actually have some decent frags as opposed to the Clive Christian method of getting some expensive ingredients at a high concentration and chucking them in a flashy bottle with any consideration if actually smells good an afterthought.

>>14714034
Most Roja frags are in that price range, though. The Gulf collection are a bit more, and there’s stuff like Diaghilev, Nuwa, Haute Luxe, etc. that are ridiculous, but stuff like Enigma (which is his best scent anyway), the EDP is £245 on his own site, and can be had for less on discount sites occasionally.

>>14712484
TDH is the best in that selection
cute lil memesters here like to say you smell it on anyone who has a morally grey job like a lawyer or someone in finance which is kinda true but it's still nice and I personally love the mild sleaze it has to it

How come Dior Homme Intense one of the top most popular perfumes when it literally smells like old women's cosmetics (powder, lipstick)

>>14712718
Anyone?
Would something like TdH or Lyric/Reflection be a good choice??

>>14714083

Good spot on Engima, would never have expected it go at that price on their official website. Never really see them far off the £380 area in discounters, which ones have you seen them on? Shame they only sell a few from the core range at £245 though, I really liked H Exclusive PH, Oligarch snd one of the Gulf ones I can't remember which.

>>14714090

DH yes, DHI no. The later is just enough over the line not to be. I asked a few people from family, friends and people at work what they thought of DH compared to DHI with one on teach wrist. DH I got similar comments along the lines of 'it smells like you just rubbed eyeshadow on there' or 'it smells like foundation'. DHI stood out enough to not be the same and got two comments about it having a bit of a hot chocolate or just general chocolatey smell in the first hour or so, rest was just 'smells like a perfume'. DHP on the other hand I still don't get the hype for, I've worn it quite a few times and still don't 'get' why it's so hyped, it's better than DH but harsher, more offensive and generally inferior to DHI. Reminds me a bit of AdP Colonia Concentree Ambra in the later dry down only nowhere near as smooth.

>>14713953
>>14714034
>>14714083
Same, I really believe that Profumum Roma is light years ahead Roja and you can get their 100ml bottles for 30-50% of Roja lower line retail prices.

>>14714157
That being said, sometimes when I got to Harrods/Selfridges I have a chat with SA's and I the target for Roja are rich Arabs (and now apparently new money from Asia). For them the Swarowskis diamonds make the difference.

I just got my samples from notino:
>Amouage Opus VI
10/10 probably one of the smoothest and snicest amber scents I've tried. Gonna give it a couple of wears and might buy a decant.
>Amouage Gold (I reckon it's a new formulation)
I don't get the Wafts' and other nichefags hype about it. It's mostly rose some animalic notes that make it very powdery and feminine. Doesn't smell particularly complex on paper blotter desu. It has some cheap deodorant quality to it. 3/10
>Atkinson's Odd Fellow's Bouquet
Interesting tobacco with floral notes. Sadly sweet resins (fragrantica says it's Benzoin) make it a bit cloying. 6/10
>ELDO Rien Intense Incense
If Kouros had a child with CdG 2 it would be Rien Intense Incense. It has the same alien vibe as CdG 2 due to Aldehydes but is more masculine and dark (leather, incense). Really confusing fragrance but I like it. I can imagine this being someone's signature.

>>14714143
Well, in Europe I’m not sure, but fragrancebuy.ca gets Roja frags in from time to time. They actually had a single bottle of Haute Luxe at about 1000.00 below retail at one point. Sold in about 2 hours.

With Enigma, at least, you really don’t need the extrait. The EDP is almost exactly the same scent, and I get 10-12 hours at least out of it, so the extrait is completely unnecessary to me.

Honestly, though, if someone were looking to get just one Roja frag for their collection, Enigma would be my pick. I do believe it’s a modern classic and there just isn’t anything else out there like it, so really, you can just ignore the crazy expensive ones.

this thread is too fucking niche. Post cheap freshies

>>14709799
So mine came yesterday. imo after the intense lemondrop opening its close enough to aventus to warrant not every buying or thinking about aventus again.

My gf is a noselet and likes PR one million, in your opinion what flankers of it should i check out

>>14714230
Wearing freshies in winter to the office, y/n /frag/?

>>14714276
well i live in florida so its still currently humid 80's F outside which is something like 25 degrees C

>>14709342
Prada luna rossa carbon, it's sweeter and more smooth than sauvage. it's amazing

>>14714293
the entire luna rossa line is worth sampling, and can be found at any mall

>>14714244
Prive is the only one worth wearing, IMO.

HURRY UP MAILNIGGER I WANT MY SAMPLES ALREADY

>>14714157

I see where you're coming from but I find Profumum Roma a strange one. I went through the entire current PR range spayed on cards in the Jovoy store in London earlier this year and found while most of it is consistently good it largely isn't good enough to buy full bottle. I liked and sampled quite a few but just didn't find them right for me or good enough to buy. The closest I really came to getting any was Ambra Aurea, but I just wasn't won over enough. Antico Caruso was good, but there's too many similar almond ones out there for it to stand out enough and although I liked Tagete it'd be too feminine to wear on myself.

>>14714276

Yes. Some work fine for it like AdP Colonia Essenza that I still wear to work on the less cold winter days, otherwise most autumn/spring freshies are still generally fine in winter as office daytime ones. Grey Vetiver and GIT work pretty well too for the same kind of wear.

>>14714374
>>14714365
Travelling to Italy this week. Any recs on Profumum Roma to try out as a Fall/Winter frag?

>>14713673
Yeah hacivat is overpriced imo. The only upside to their pricing is that it’s an extrait so 12+ hours is no problem same with sillage. I’ve been wanting to try fan your flames , ani , hundred silent ways from nishane too, all of which I believe are cheaper than hacivat

>>14714379

I'm same poster. Probably just Ambra Aurea, but it's more one for just yourself than wearing out. I'd find somewhere that sells PR frags and spend a while trying the lot for one you like.

Autumn/Winter ones in general though, I usually have and post seasonal rotations every now and then, but I've just kinda said fuck it and have been wearing Naxos, Chypre Palatin, PdM Percival and Beau de Jour on a constant rotation for the last few weeks. I'd recommend all or any of them, especially Naxos. That stuff's like crack to me at the moment, wearing almost every other day.

>>14714240
Nice, how's the performance?

>>14713847
One time I put 1 spray of this stuff on my ankle... I was still getting whiffs of it 3-4 days later, and the pants still faintly smelled like it 2 weeks later

>>14714424
Noticeably worse, but I find aventus to be too strong anyway. My mom sprayed aventus on one arm and cdni on the other and said aventus was too cloying, but she also said cdnis opening is like lemon pledge. After a few hours she said she liked nuit more

>>14714143
it's actually the other way round, DHI has more iris than DH therefore it smells more like lipstick/cosmetic bag. I've compared them side by side many times, DH is a better scent overall, the only thing DHI has going for it is better performance

I blame this thread sucking on the op pic not clearly being a frag bottle

>>14714436
wait old aventus now nu because new batches are fruity and not too long lasting

>>14714143
I personally prefer DHP to DHI, I love how hefty and leathery it is. I do get the makeup comparisons but that doesn't change how much I want to keep sniffing it throughout the day.

>people are actually having discussions on fragrances for once
>"this thread sucks"

Got my sample of Zoologist Squid today. Love the incense notes. Might just cop full bottle

My creed Viking sample just came also Lacoste blanc and fraiche. Didn’t like any of them, Viking reminded me of baby shampoo

>>14714677
Not exactly sure your question but cdni definitely has smoky woodyness along with the fruity citrus

Oh snap, collection is looking pretty good. All I'm waiting for is Jovan sex appeal. Aqua quorom is Chad fragrance and taxi is a wonderful sweet lavender version of drakar noire that is softer on the nose but still masculine.

>>14714863
>got AQ finally
Based. Glad you like it. Post some more thoughts on it when you get the chance. I like how pretty much every "blue" frag this decade plagiarized it almost directly, including Alberto Morillas himself.

Is Costa Azzurra really worth sampling? Or should I grab a bottle of Bvlgari Aqua for casual wear? I really don't want to spend Tom Ford prices on something I'll use a dozen times a year at most...

Is a single spray on the back of the neck the patrician choice?

Seems like anything more is pretty tacky in almost every situation.

>>14714911
>single spray
and then people wonder why they get 0 compliments, nobody can even tell you're wearing anything unless it's some beast fragrance

>>14708408
Just bought 5ml of 1991 Sanofi Kouros. What to expect

>>14714944
> Caring about compliments

Anyone who gets close to my neck can smell it. It shouldn’t waft around me enough for people to smell me just walking by.

>>14713012
>i want a tom ford scent so badly : [
I saw noir extreme 30ml for $25 few weeks ago

Is vanille fatale worth?

>>14714873
Blue frags are shit anyway

>>14714911
idk about a single spray but i've been shilling the only-back-of-neck technique lately cause it's literally the only way you won't go noseblind and still enjoy wafts and leave a trail behind you leaving wet pussies in your wake. i do about 3-4 spray to the nape and i can smell it all day.

FRAG BOY STEWIE

>>14714863
based collection, but you're missing arabian nights by bogart, mang. grape soda, oudsy, and a lil bit of stale horseshit. everybody hates it. it's great.

>>14714981
I’d say yes. It’s a bit of a departure from the typical vanilla frag, adding plum, leather, smoke, and frangipani. It sort of smells a bit like smooth, smoky banana. It’s not going to be for everyone, but it’s quite snice and pretty unique.

Sampled it at the airport last time I was here in Amsterdam, liked it a lot, but I ultimately settled on Fucking Fabulous at that time. Copped VF a while later. Definitely one to sample first, though, again, not everyone will love it.

>>14715034
I am saying it cause I got it as a gift from a cousin (I guess he didn't like it and knows that I like frags) and I don't know if I shoudl sell it. (I am traveling so I was not able to sample it)

>>14715034
So I am glad I got your input I will hold on to it to see if it is a banger for me

>>14714393
Isn't Naxos the same as Pure Havane?

>>14715042
>>14715047
Yeah, try it for a bit, see what you think. If it’s already opened, being a few mls lower shouldn’t affect the resale price too much anyway.

It’s one of my favorite Tom Fords, personally.

>>14713957
>We all gotta do us, right?
Spare me that please. You probably weren't being overly defensive but yoomerisms like that make it look that way. I was more interested prompting discussion by sharing my opinion on him. I think he's a bit of a spiv, and that his sales and marketing background really shows through. Something not quite right about the story he tells. I feel the same way regarding Creed's manufactured history, tarnishes the brand IMO even though the product still speaks for itself for the most part. Or bands, turns me off the music if somebody's really full of themselves and behaves objectionably.

Not that I've yet bought anything at that price point.

I realised now that we are well into Spring that I bought my first frags at some point after Christmas, Terre d' Hermes EDT, Guerlain Vetiver and blind bought Encre Noire Sport (not bad, pretty artificial though, I regret not getting the ordinary one to which the same criticism applies to but is perhaps more interesting for being so bold) fairly safe, entry level Summer/ Autumn frags, fully intending to buy up before winter. However I was too panic buying tobacco to hoard before a change in Australian import laws and then paying for a remote area field excursion I heard about about the last minute. I never got to really stretch my legs. It's a shame.

As a consolation I might buy Tam Dao EDT or Hinoki which I think are bone dry on me at least and might do alright in warmer weather. I'm looking at Mugler Cologne and maybe Caron Yuzu for summer.

>>14714911
>He fell for the "only wear a tiny bit of cologne so you don't offend anyone" meme

There was this oriental someone posted here once, I think it came out late 80s/early 90s, but I cant remember the name. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

>>14715196
I wasn’t being defensive in the least. I was just saying we all have different opinions, and should each do what works for us. If you feel like Roja’s marketing strategy is too objectionable to support, that’s cool and I respect that. Doesn’t really bother me, personally, I buy products I like, I don’t really care a whole ton about the companies or people behind them (unless they do some really mega evil shit).

That’s all I was saying. Live and let live, basically.

>>14710821
tobacco oud

Just tried Encre Noire Extreme. You can rub a leaf and some dirt on yourself and you'll get the same scent... That will probably last longer too

I would feel bad even giving this away... Oh well at least it was only $30

>>14715245
> believing this is actually a meme.

There is nothing worse than being that cologne guy. It’s also strictly associated with the lower class.

>>14715299
Stop wasting your money on smelly water if you don't want to be smelled.

>>14715299
>>14715301
There's a thin line between being the cologne guy and smelling good. I always err on the side of underspraying because the compliments I usually garner are when I hug or get close to somebody. To me that just feels better. Doesn't matter what you wear, or how expensive, if it can be smelled around the corner you already are that guy who sprays too much cologne.

>>14715272
>I wasn’t being defensive in the least.
I figured you weren't, just "you do you" gets used passive aggressively as much or even more often than not.

>>14715301
You can still be smelled though.

You can’t be helped if you think you’re making a good impression with 4+ sprays of whatever shitty mall counter “compliment getter” fragrance.

>>14715346
This. If you don’t have close encounters with people where they smell you up close then you’ve got more things to work on than your fragrance collection.

What’s a high end niche all situation/season, all day crowd pleaser?

>>14715366
Pretty sure it doesn’t exist.

>>14715368
I just want to smell good and be out of reach for normies :(. Like aventus but actually good and long lasting , plus no pajeet normie vibes

>>14715380
I know the feel senpai. Believe me I’ve tried and given up searching at this point.

I don’t think it exists.

Just blind bought Habit Rouge. Wish me luck.

>>14715419
Damn it all. No brainer niche high concentration fragrances would be an easy sale but they all want to play with animal piss and weird leathers, thanks though anon, saved me some future frustration I guess I’ll go bathe in some tom ford and then throw a toaster in the bath

I copped

>>14715380
Instead of wanting a magical impossible elixir that's appropriate for all situations and seasons, is inoffensive enough that everyone likes it but is identifiable enough that people can recognise it, isn't overused by Pajeets, and is expensive enough to flex with, how about you just fix your attitude so that you no longer want to buy expensive products purely as a display of wealth and buy an appropriate designer frag?

Or alternatively get the money you so desperately want to pretend you have and buy multiple fragrances.

Fuck wannabe influencers, fuck thots, and fuck niggers.

thoughts on la nuit le parfum?
for it smells like a sweeter fougere version of the original, not quite as good as a vintage la nuit.

>>14715533
Nice, split between getting that and Tam Dao EDT

>>14715380
>>14715497
Bond no. 9 Scent of Peace fH
Mancera Cedrat Boise

Both are in the Aventus wheelhouse and both are monster performers. Normies won't have any idea what either one is, so don't tell them.

>>14715535
Hmmmm you sound mad anon. Let me break it down for you like this. Doesn’t even have to be expensive, higher end niche meaning higher quality to me. I don’t want normie shit because of every 3rd person on the street bathes in Dior sauvage. If I wanted something to flex I’d just buy something like aventus. Not something completely unrecognizable. I want all situation/ season as a daily driver/dumb reach. I still collect other frags, including niche and designers.

Now do you have any suggestions for me or going to continue being a butthurt mad faggot over a simple question?

>>14715578
Thanks anon already have both of them in the collection. I do prefer the cedrat Boise over bond on my skin. Not necessarily looking for aventus wheelhouse just mentioning it because it seems to have this hype for a daily driver all purpose scent, but it falls short of its goals imo. Might go try to find another bottle of DHP

>tfw don't interact with people enough to justify buying nice frags

>>14712929
Very unique and alluring

>>14709342
I agree with Luna Rossa Carbon

>>14715460
Way to go. You blind bought a masterpiece.

Out of the way plebs.

>>14715050

Yeah, it takes the honeyed tobacco accord from the first two hours of Pure Havane but keeps them that way for the whole duration rather than drying down into A* Men. It's a lot smoother and slightly less sweet though and has ridiculous longevity (easily 12-16hrs) while gently projecting throughout. I had PH before and liked it but just didn't feel like it lasted long enough and was let down by drying down into A* Men, Naxos is everything I didn't like about it but fixed. I'd say Naxos is to autumn what GIT is to spring, a top drawer seasonal frag.

>>14715380

There's always PdM Percival if you want to excite normies only to make them sad when they look it up then realise they can't afford it. But it's more like a niche pricetag than a niche scent. There's absolutely nothing new or original about it but it's just almost every designer 'blue' fresh scent rolled into one bottle with the performance turned up to 11. It's probably my most complimented non-designer frag and also probably my most worn one of 2019, got a 125ml bottle in February and feels like there's at least a third of the bottle gone already.

The One EDP vs La Nuit de L'homme vs Valentino Uomo Intense? for cold weather

>>14712428
Same DNA but more lemony and suit for summer. Even weaker performance tho

>>14715297
If you don't want it I'll take it

>>14715722
Interdasting . What’s the performance like? Worth the price tag?

>>14715743

It's pretty solid , about 8-10 hours and projection is strong for the first two hours but not offensively strong like 1 Million or Sauvage. I'd sample it first and see what mileage you get out of it. It's one that surprised me though in that it flies in the face of everything niche frags are meant to be yet it's so likeable and wearable.

It's kinda similar in concept to Office for Men; in that it's a whole genre and list of designer frags rolled into one long-lasting aromachemical bomb, but one that's done right.

>>14715780
Perfect , exactly what I’m looking for. Don’t mind high price tags as long as its value is worth the price. I’m rounding up a bunch of different stuff on lucky scent. I’ll throw this and a couple other Pdm scents in there. Thanks!

EdP lasts all day on me. EdT is close. Parfum has sold longevity but sits closer to the skin with lower projection.
A note about the EdP and the EdT: freshly opened bottles don't reach their performance potential until they've been sprayed a bit and aged for at least a few months. Don't be deterred if you cop and only get four or five hours out of an application. Also recommended four sprays or more.

I heard that Sanofi Kouros was the strongest. I was thinking about putting one shot on a chest for a first blind try. Id get choked the fuck out, or will it be ok? Im not worried about ppl opinions, im worried about a headcache

Any valid cheap (sub 80€/100cl) alternative to Acqua di Parma OUD cologne?

Something happened and the smell of my bottle of Terre d'Hermès went to shit. I bought it only two months ago or so. Does a perfume degrade over time ? Maybe my skin is different or I got bored by the perfume ? Did this ever happen to you ?
