does an upgrade to terre d'hermes exist or am I doomed to be in love with a mainstream frag forever

>>14729531
The only niche dirt + fruit fragrance I know of is Zootopia Bat, but its no longer available. And they aren't really that similar.

>>14729531
Roja Oligarch.

What's the last bottle you actually finished? Did you rebuy?
Never actually finished a bottle desu, closest is a 5ml decant of Invictus. Was happy to have it gone and wont rebuy.

>>14729553
armani code, back when it was my only frag. So many good memories associated with it

>>14729531
based 2 tdh fpbps in a row

>>14729531
What does this even mean? Are you looking for a fragrance that smells really similar to TdH? Are you looking for a "next step"? Give us something to work with, you asked this in previous threads and got no reply. Do you like the orange note, another note in particular?

If you love it why not have a full bottle and branch out? It's popular for a reason

>>14729553
Sampling is almost always the way to go. If you’re dead set on something you should get the smallest size they offer because you’ll get tired of it before you ever finish it. Not to mention it looks insane to own 10+ full bottles. You can at least hide having 10+ decants

>>14729583
yeah how embarrassing that my maid sees my bottles once every month. woe is me

Anyone have daily drivers from Hermessence or Serge Lutens?

I’m looking for a starting point with these lines.

>>14729585
How embarrassing that your maid is the only person who sees your personal space lol

>>14729593
yes that was the joke i was making about myself congrats you got it

>>14729594
Kek fair enough

How is pic related?

>>14729601
Smells like slightly sweetened tea

>>14729581
I have a 200ml bottle and an empty 50ml bottle but i'd like something that smells similar but better (more projection maybe, more complex etc)
I love the smell but I don't want to wear a mainstream frag as hipster as that sounds, fragrances are pretty personal so I don't want to bump into someone who smells the same as I do

The thing I like most about it is the mix of sweetness cut with the dirt and how it strikes that balance between clean (something like chanel blue which is just too strong and too soapy and clinical) and cloying (like sauvage which is overly sweet and heavy) and has a kinda edgy vibe to it

Don't get me wrong, i'm not going to stop wearing it because it's popular or neglect my yuuuuge bottle, I got the biggest bottle possible because I really love it but the next frag I get I want it to be more niche/esoteric just so I can really hunt down something that is unique to me

>>14729583
>Not to mention it looks insane to own 10+ full bottles
I have 20 full sized bottles, no one thinks I'm insane bacause of it.

>>14729628
Sorry, *because

>>14729628
same, its not my bottles its my terrible personality and mental health :)

some winter fragrances with good longevity? i am looking for something that smell like orange or leather or a fireplace ?

Encre Noire Extreme smells nothing like sycomore what the fuck. I can’t even pick up vetiver in it.

Did I get a dud?

>>14729649
I have a sample of extreme sport and regular coming in an hour or so

Just bought armaf club de nuit intense, did I fuck up?

>>14729653
Report back when you get it. I got mine from scent split. It smells nothing like encre noire in my opinion. I’m not convinced it’s legit

>>14729662
I will but I don’t know what sycamore is supposed to smell like and only vaguely think I know what vetiver smells like

>>14729583
lmao, I have 50+ bottles (not sure how many exactly, should probably do inventory some time) which is why I'm asking about finishing bottles

>>14729553
>>14729557
Newfag here. Same answer with Armani Black Code. Only fragrance I've bought a second time and now eyeing Polo Double Black since I love the sweet (?) fragrance of Black Code and Polo Red that I already own. What else is similar to Black Code in terms of "sweet" notes (I don't know how else to describe it)?

>>14729695
Look up the notes on fragrantica. It takes all the guesswork out

>>14729660
Yes you fucked up. I got memed into it too, just smells like generic lemony bathroom cleaner :(

>>14729612
I'd say you should be happy that something you love is readily available and cheap. It's ok to love a cheap/designer frag.

It makes sense that you've found something you love and you're wondering if it could be even better. But it might be a better idea to sample a whole bunch of different things, you might find something completely different that you like just as much.

>>14729706
And then in 5 mins it smells like aventus for 1/15 the cost

Take the Guerlainpill

>>14729714
Aventus must smell like lemon dish soap or toilet cleaner then

>>14729726
Is there a daily guerlain frag?

I appreciate and think they’re amazing scents, but they’re all pretty damn stodgy To actually wear. Especially for someone who doesn’t know a lot about fragrances, which is 99% of who’s going to smell you

>>14729746
The Homme and L'Homme Ideal lines have a bunch of options

>>14729712
This is the answer. Don’t look for something “similar but better” just for the sake of being unique, try lots of different things and find different scents you love too.

I've never wore any fragrances in my life
What's something good and cheap to wear for fall/winter that
1 Doesn't have cedar notes
2 Won't make me smell like a boomer

>>14729531
What do you mean as an upgrade? There are plenty of ways to go from tdh. Orange Bitters by Jo Malone is a classier, smoother version with creamy sandalwood replacing vetiver. Montale's Red Vetiver is a louder and better performing tdh without oranges. Malle's Bigarade concentree (that some suspect was the inspiration for tdh) is a more upscale (and more interesting) take on oranges with the infamous vetiver dirt replaced by hay and grass note. Plenty of ways to go mate.
>>14729553
Bright Neroli this summer. Not gonna rebuy I guess as I grow to perceive it as too feminine over time. Because of it I had to take a break from neroli (and white flowers) whatsoever and resold also my Nicolai's Cap Neroli.
>>14729583
>Not to mention it looks insane to own 10+ full bottles.
I also realized over time that I find having too many bottles quite effeminate. That's why I cut my F/W collection to 6 bottles(from 30+). that covers all occasions and character traits I might want to articulate by adding a layer to my presence. Feels good desu.
>>14729645
Budget?

Popped in to John Lewis today to revisit some designer scents. I must admit that I was very positively surprised with Givenchy Gentleman EdP. It's really good. Vanilla, leather, spices, nice subtle iris.
I also went again over Diptyque booth and must admit that their Eau des Sens is all what I expected from Xerjoff Nio. Very well blended green-citrusy scent, broken nontrivially by bitterness of angelica. If it performs well I might cop it for summer. Gonna come back in spring.
Creed - didn't change my opinion. SMW and GIT are snice, rest is trash for the price.
I tried rest of Zegna's line. Kekked at Bourbon Vanilla as it's really synthetic screeching. Italian Bergamot (and its acqua version) is a routine exercise on bergamot. Florentine Iris is a routine exercise on musky iris, but its acqua version is quite snice if someone is into metrosexual iris.
New Acqua di Parma's ingredient series (in black bottles) is shit

I fucking hate Paco Rabanne frags with a passion, 1 million and Invictus are both garbage.
But I do like the look of the Black XS bottle and the scent profile on fragrantica seems like it'll be a nice sweet counterpart to my leather/wood/tobacco heavy winter frags.
Do I try it out when I'm at the frag store on Friday?

Thoughts on Tom Ford acqua flankers? Personally really like pic related

>>14729601
Black tea with sugar

>>14729810
Sup MDCI-anon (this is what I'm calling you now). It's Hendley Fume anon here. Bigarade Concentree was what I had in mind for >>14729531 (but I wasn't sure it had the dirty note)
>>14729612
Another good idea is the Hermes Cologne line (plain coloured bottles) if you want to sort of "step it up". Or Diptyque Eau Des Sens like MDCI-anon was talking about. I was in here talking about it this past summer. It lasts amazing for a Diptyque on me and smells like a high end Spanish hotel with tons of gender-bending orange blossom and juniper.

Next purchase for me will likely be January Scent Projects sample set. Just waiting for another Twisted Lily sale or sometime I can get a discount

>>14729810
Based advice and taste.

Can you go over your fall wardrobe and the occasions you’re wearing each fragrance?

Also, what kind of responses have you gotten with Eau Sauvage? It took me a while to realize what a gem it is, but it seems like the general population probably doesn’t take too well to it.

>>14729522
Great pic OP

>>14729810
Tell us about the response about Eau Savage parfum cause i have the same 2017 bottle and it only got "grandpa scent " reactions for me :(

>>14729612
You're fucking stupid. You hit the fragrance lottery. Most of us autistic fucks go on the hunt for "the perfect fragrance" and it absolutely doesn't exist and so try and try to satiate our desire cause a lot of us end up getting bored with whatever we buy and go on the hunt again. You found what you love, so don't try to convince yourself you don't or that there maybe something better, just enjoy it and buy a few back up bottles to keep you in stock for a while and leave these toxic threads. You beat the game. Congratulations.

>>14729811
What did you expect from this post? Obviously try it out lmao
>>14729820
Some are snice but all of them are weak even for the blue TF series standard. If you want a citrus fragrances of cologne performance do yourself a favor and try classic Guerlain's colognes. They cost 1/5 of Tom Fords and are better. Guerlain Imperial is hands down the best cologne water I've tried.
>>14729853
Yo, all good mate. Some call me polskabrit around here, but I like MDCI-anon lol. Still haven't put my hands on Fume. Gonna look it up ebay.

>>14729890
The only winning move is not to play

>>14729886
Not that anon but I've got a sample.
I didn't like it at first, too waxy, but me and my mum warmed up to it

>>14729903
Men are born for games. Nothing else.

Anyone try mixing Cool Water with Fahrenheit?

>>14729903
This. I used to have one bottle that I thought smelled nice. Then I jumped down the rabbit hole looking for something better.

Now I’ve probably smelled 200+ scents and I’m never satisfied with them. I’ve looked at fragrantica a thousand times and know so much information about perfume it’s stupid. Also, the only response you’ll get after you’ve spent months seeking out will be “yeah, it’s nice”

>>14729920
Honestly feel like fragrances that take 30+ minutes to come alive are much better quality than something like BDC and the likes that turns into generic cologne chemicals after an hour.

>>14729944
true, once the top notes of Dylan blue and the sort have burnt away you're left with a boring mess

>>14729931

>>14730010
why does the thumbnail look blurred?

Blind bought Aqua Quorum and Burberry London. London is absolutely delicious. AQ I like but it's very weak to my nose. Gonna try it again later.

>>14730010
The water is too hot

>>14730038
You’re having a stroke, m8.

>>14729810
Thanks for the reccs, I looked them up though and they all appear to be made for women?

>>14729972
To me Dylan Blue smells like a weak, less-fresh VPH after the dry-down.

>>14730105
>>14729810
nevermind i'm a retard

>>14730094
I keep my hot water in the fridge

how the FR*AK is this so cheap!?

>>14730118
Some people might say that’s very expensive for less than a gulp size of smelly liquid liquid

>>14730118
Its like 69 pounds in my country for 200ml

Is this grandpa smell

>>14730127
forgot pic

>>14729898
>Guerlain Imperial is hands down the best cologne water I've tried.
hows the performance on that?

how is Guerlain Heritage?
Is it too mature smelling for a guy in his mid 20's that still get's Id'd for booze to wear?

>>14730159
forget arbitrary age requirements you doughnut
if you like the smell, wear it

Best natural, scentless deoderant?

>>14730098
I too, am also having a stroke.

>>14730076
My guy thats strange, AQ is pretty strong on me. My frags always get stronger after a couple of wearings for some reason, so yours probably will too. It should be much stronger than London though which is very soft.

I've been breaking out after using a fragrance that has teak notes. I'm mildly allergic to teak. I have fragrances that have all of the other notes and they're fine. Do you think this is because of the teak?

I'm new to this and I just looked up the notes for everything I own, this is the only thing that makes sense

What's the closest to Hugo Boss bottled?

>>14729531
You and me brother. What I thought after first sampling it years ago was, I want another frag I love as much as I love this wacky strage thing. I still don't know how it's so well recieved by everyone, for me it should be pretty deep in the iceberg meme pic, it's bitter, astringent, strange orange, dirty as in actual dirt. No idea why corporate drones and prosecutors like this stuff.

Got my encre noir sample. Great for the price but I already have wonderoud and tdh which do the same thing better imo. Still glad I tried it, and I’ll keep trying it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HClMAuJWVMg

Proof Jerememe is actually a niche gentleman

Shall I go for jean paul gaultier 2 or ultra male?

>>14729873
>Can you go over your fall wardrobe and the occasions you’re wearing each fragrance?
Tbh it's really personal and I doubt anyone would have the same connotations as me. You should try to develop your own narrations around frags. It makes all the experience way more enjoyable. Check out this Roja's video to start with
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8egng5jRET4
I also like Wafts' purple prose when they describe images that fragrances bring to their minds.
>>14729873
>>14729886
>>14729920
I'm a sucker for Eau Sauvage Parfum (2017). Tbh it's probably my favorite one out of these 6 (maybe on par with Chypre Palatin). I love how simple it is in terms of ingredients and how all of them work with each other. Is it waxy? Oh yes it is. but it (elemi) gives it the deepness I like about it. This and the clean fougere vibe thanks to lavender, freshness of a citron and the masculine vetiver base is such a beautiful combo. I've got plenty of compliments for wearing it. Including some young (18-21yo) hook ups of mine (I'm 27) and my gf who's like 25. I remember this hot summer when I was wearing Eau Sauvage and cycling to a Cali hottie from a summer school in Cambridge I was casually seeing back then. That was a warm Saturday night that we felt like it belonged to us, and we were both a bit tipsy. Instead of taking a uber I told her to get on my bike and hug me. She was a very outgoing and extroverted girl but when she hugged me sitting on the bike sit she asked me silently 'what am I wearing', I asked 'what do you mean', 'your cologne', 'it's Dior' and she said with a shy voice 'you smell really good' and hugged me stronger while I was cycling not saying anything more. I think I just vibe well with this fragrance.
>>14729746
Vetiver (Extreme flanker if you want a more modern take on it)
>>14730155
Around 30min but every minute is worth it. Beautiful stuff to refresh yourself on a hot day or lift up your mood. Imperial brings a smile on my face every time I apply it.

>>14730411
You Kraut fucker should know very well what an enigma is lol

>>14730411
For someone as successful as Jeremy, he might be the absolute worst at explaining anything about a fragrance

>>14730433
Nvm, found out they discontinued Gaultier2. Had it 7 years ago and rolled then with Annayake Tomo.

Sould i go for le ultra male or something else? Whats your fav panty dropper?

>>14729890
honestly this. wish i was this lucky

>>14730458
Is Ultra Male actually good or is it meh like Eros? Ultra Male does at least seem highly rated on fragrance sites.

>>14730411
>>14730454

He's unironically only as popular as he is because he looks like chad and the frag review market is mostly neckbeards. He has made some good recs but nothing he has done explains his leaderboard topping numbers besides his very good looks. His looks allow him to approach girls and ask about frags without being overly creepy. You have to be at least an 8.5 to ask strangers if they like how you smell

>>14730554

It was reforumulated in 2017. This is a fact you cant find it anywhere. They claim it preforms the same but I have had both and they are very different. Ultra male isnt worth it anymore, they neutered it.

>>14730675
*can

>>14730631
That and that he sells the idea that women will get wet around you if you buy the scents he suggests. So he got a huge base of desperate incel types.

I've never wore the regular One Million, but I've heard it's sweet, good all-around but has kind of a "basic bitch" reputation. Saw a guy selling this one for basically 50% off today, should I grab it to give it a shot? I really need something to wear on afternoons

>>14730803
prive is the best 1 million flanker hands down. it's really delicious and cozy as fuck. i cleared nearly an entire 50ml last fall i liked it so much. and i'm a self-admitted nichefag.

>>14730825
Is Prive too close to Burberry London if I own a 50ml of London already?

>>14730825
You're really selling me on it, anon. I never tried the original, but I've used a bit of Golden Secret (friend gave me a bottle with like 20% left) and it was ok, but a bit too sweet and the fixation wasn't great. I'm gonna cop privé and see what happens, thanks

I honestly love this frag but it's borderline unwearable unless you're a hairy neanderthal brute who naturally reeks of raw garlic and I'm not nearly big enough desu. Just Kouros for me it is

>>14730443
>Around 30min but every minute is worth it. Beautiful stuff to refresh yourself on a hot day or lift up your mood. Imperial brings a smile on my face every time I apply it.
this is the worst combination =(

This is probably a dumb question cause it varies from bottle to bottle considering how much it sprays, but technically a 100ml bottle should last you around 300 days if you use like three sprays a day, right?

Has anyone seen this brand? It's unbelievably cheap and there's not much info on it online (pic related doesn't even have a page on BaseNotes)
Apparently all their fragrances are reproductions. Extreme Story is Sauvage, Cash is One Million, stuff like that
I'm tempted to give it a shot for stuff I won't be using very often like getting something fresh for afternoons out which I rarely do

Musc koublai khan or musc ravageur?

Is this low class? I really like the way it smells, but I'm curious of /fa/'s opinion. If it is shit, what other scents are similar but /fa/ approved?

Eros. Eros. Eros.

>>14729522
Daily reminder for the new people here: niche fags will recommend you a fragrance that smells like a grandma because it's "unique"

>>14730989
My dad wears it, and I think it's pretty good.

You just know

I regret buying this shit so fucking much

>>14731023
Designer fags will recommend you something because they think it will get you laid (it won’t, you get yourself laid) perfume is something to be enjoyed without the need for complements

>>14731023
This

>>14730838
both are cozy but i feel london has more cinnamon and prive has a nice myrrh and incense vibe. also, prive's preformance on my skin is much better than london.

>>14730854
prive is sweet too but not as bombastic as the original. give it a shot. you can get it pretty cheap nowadays. i actually copped a 200ml bottle from marshall's about a year ago for 80 bucks since i was almost out of my 50ml. lucky lucky find.

>>14730803
scoop that shit up man - its in my F/W rotation; it really is the best flanker

>>14729810
Can you stop posting your collection 10 times a thread? Thanks.

>>14730982
Both overrated. They were interesting 10 years ago but now they are both boring.

>>14729810
Chergui any good?

>>14730966
>Has anyone seen this brand?
Its in every market store in europe for like €4. Synthetic crap

>>14731062
B-but muh panty dropper! M-muh makes pussies wet!

>>14731036
Jeremy is such a dork!

>>14731417
Hey Paul

>>14731444
TRY GETTING AN INTERVIEW WITH TOM FORD NOW YOU FUCKING BASTARD

AHHHHHHH YOU STUPID FUCKING BASTARD

>>14731452
I loved that video so much. Pure cringe kino.

Popped my niche cherry with little samples of Oud Minerale and BlackPepper.
Why is this shit so expensive? Dear god I could wear OM everywhere in the summer cos I live and work right near the beach

>>14731530
What’s even the point of black pepper ? To wear to your job as a fancy waiter?

Anyone waiting for the Slumberhouse release? Thinking of blind buying Norne for the flex.

Just got a 1985 Kouros. Where to spray it and how many sprays to use? Been thinking about 1 behind each ear

If you don't own a huge bottle of this, you're not doing it right.

>>14729810
budget around 150 $ max, but i looking for something that can be wear by somebody who is under 25.

>>14731717
No, I bought it to be a casual winter frag for when work dries up.

>>14731096
>>14731138
Just copped it, thanks for the info

>>14731410
Damn, I didn't think it would be that bad. Thank you for saving me some dosh

>>14731452
jennifer anniston really hit the wall

>>14729931
I layered Cool Water on top of Tuscan Leather after two hours and let me tell you, there’s something to it.

>>14731735
Are you the anon that was buying the sanofi bottle? How is it?
I always do just one spray on the back of my hand when getting a new perfume to get to know how it performs and projects.

>>14731452
Is there a mirror of this? I’d love to watch Jeremy interact with someone who’s not a Thot desperate for some camera time.

>>14731145
What makes them uninteresting now? Doesn’t seem like they’re alternatives nor is 99% of the population familiar with them.

It’s not like le male or ADG where everyone recognizes them

I know everyone is padding out their F/W repertoire right now but I live in the third world and it's scorching hot down here, what's something that's not too expensive that I can wear on a daily basis for Summer?
I'm guessing pic related or Jimmy Choo's Ice, but I'm open for suggestions

>>14730803
Sample before you buy. I was not a fan, still way too sweet.

>>14731814
Yes. I've got sanofi decanter and 1985 Paris bottle. Sanofi is a beast with everything in the opening maxed out to 11. 1985 Paris is smooth animal compared to sanofi. Im still scared to use any of them when i go outside, but i just blasted two sprays of paris on my chest and its delightful. I dont get no piss or urinal cake at all

>>14731837
leau dissey is great. my 4.2 oz bottle came yesterday. The cap is absolutely retarded tho

>>14731832
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFdl76vydv0

Literally 5 seconds to find this, but ok.
The original was called "Tom Ford meets Jeremy Fragrance" btw, which only adds more cringe.
It's hard to watch.

>>14731832
I took a look but I couldn’t find one. Really too bad, because it may be the single most awkward interaction between two human beings ever caught on film. Jeremy fanspergs out, then accidentally talks shit about Tobacco Oud, and Tom Ford’s face just instantly changes. Like, you could tell he was just indulging Jeremy from the start, but then he looks actively hostile and Jeremy just has this “oh fuck” look on his face.

100% kino.

>>14731869
Pretty sure the original was a lot longer, but that’s the best part.

200ml Habit Rouge EDT for < £50

Cop or not lads?

>>14731869
not as cringy as i expected. He spoke truth to power and didnt stutter or anything. His posse seemed offended but not him.

>>14731894
Yeah, this really wasn’t cringy. He spoke the truth instead of sucking Tom Ford’s dick.

>>14731881
Do you like it? If so, yes!

which fragrance is this?

>>14731911
Slumberhouse - Norne

>>14731894
>>14731901
Did we watch the same video?

>>14731908
I loved it last time I tried it in a department store, however that was about 5 years ago and I can't remember whether it was the EDT or the EDP.

>>14731915
The worst thing he did was accidentally say amber nuit instead of amber absolute and even Tom Ford isn’t a big enough faggot to care about something that trivial

>>14731894
>>14731901
Get off 4chan, Jeremy. We’re not buying it.

>>14731916
Does any department store near you still carry it? If so, it might be a good idea to visit and try it out again, 5 years is a long time. If you are looking for opinions I love habit rouge edt in its current form, and that is a great price for a lot of it

>>14731929
I dunno, him introducing himself as “the leading fragrance influencer” was pretty bad. Ford was just kinda like “sure thing, you little cunt”.

Is there a daily woody aromatic or Chypre that appeases nich and designer fags?

The search for a daily driver is endless.

Currently wearing Aesop Hwyl

>>14731961
I’d say Tam Dao, though it is a bit on the expensive side for a daily driver (depending on your budget, of course).

Is it worth the 20 bucks? I never go through bottles, might be fun.

>>14731961
Guerlain heritage

>>14731973
I have a sample, and love it but I prefer it more on my girlfriend than myself.

>>14731979
Worth it for a ml of Eros. Throw the rest in the garbage

>>14731983
Need to give this another try. I remember it being blown away, but felt maybe it was a little too old school to wear. Unfortunately I can’t get Guerlain samples in NYC. so it’s hard to get multiple wearings to understand it.

It smells like a 90s sitcom scene of a guy working in the garage wearing a flannel lol. It just conjured that image to me.

Do I just say fuck it and cop a bottle of D&G PH for year round beater use?

>>14731837
go for Ice, this stuff is weak but a good summer burner

I just tried a sample of Secretions Magnifiques.
What the fuck. I had to wash it with mouthwash and spray four sprays of Tabac to faint the stench. It smells nothing like bodily fluids, it's just plain nasty. Who the fuck wears this?!

>>14732332
Yeah, who would have thought seaweed and milk to be a bad combo

>>14732332
fucking goon
get memed

>chanel egoiste
>valentino uomo intense
>eau des baux
>guerlain l'homme boisee
the only one I really like is VUI but it rarely gets cold enough and I never get dressed up enough to wear it. what are some chad miasma frags that aren't iris or extremely sweet?

>>14732432
jump on the tdh train

Is Polo Sport worth the money?

a little drunk and feeling kinda depressed.
Should I blind buy a cheap CK frag like Reveal or Eternity Aqua to cheer myself up?

>>14732461
How about trying to fix your problems you consumerist faggot?

Also any opinions on Armani's stronger with you intensely? Smells fantastic to me so far.

buy 200ml of TDH

what should i get for clubbing? ultra male is hard to find and eros is a meme, should i get some tom ford that doesnt smell too weird to normie roasties?

>>14732504
imagine wasting tom ford on clubbing
just douse yourself in chanel blue or sauvage because that's what every other normtard will be wearing

>>14732432
How sweet is Uomo? I've heard it described as a gourmand.. I'm worried it'll get cloying
Also
>Not wearing Baux as daily fall scent

>>14732526
baux is good but it's still like 80-90 degrees in southern california so I can't wear it that often and it gets kinda boring after awhile, I want something that isn't super linear. And I haven't tried a real gourmand so I can't say how VUI compares, but it isn't overly sweet to me, I really like it but don't get to wear it much. I'm a cashier and I wore 2 sprays to work under my shirt once and the girl on the register behind me was almost violently expressing that something smelled "fucking amazing" and kept badgering customers and walking around trying to figure out where it was coming from. I thought it was amusing

>>14732479
Yeah but how do you feel once you realize you have a whole bottle of something you're meh about?

>>14732479
same :(

>>14732574
Not that great to be honest.
I blind bought Fuel for Life last autumn because it was £20 for a 50ml and I just don't use it that much is all

i think kristo and eugenius are about to go on live

>>14729531
Red vetiver my montale? Duh

By the Fireplace is making me cum holy shit I think this is it. This could be the one to rule them all. I live in a pretty cold area so I can easily wear it from October to March. I even overpaid for a sample at Sephora. This is now a gush thread. Gush about your favorite frags.

Opinions on Prada Luna Rossa? Been using it for years.

>>14732612
FFL is great, I used it all throughout high school and half of college. The only problem is that it's strong as fuck and can easily become cloying too. That's a one spray max type of frag. Aromatic fougere, too :+)

>>14732613
Let's tell them 4chan loves them

>>14732728
You paid for a sample at Sephora? That SA must have a good side hustle haha

>>14732518

This. Don’t waste expensive niche juice on clubbing. I Unironcally have a bottle of Eros for mindless club trawling. Also have Joop homme I got for 5 dollars for a laff ( it gets legit compliments). Douse in cheap shit, drunk Stacy won’t know the difference anyway.

>>14732760
Well a 10 ml “travel size.”

>>14732783
Oh gotcha, that makes more sense

>>14732793
Yeah excuse me I’m gonna go get samples from Sephora and sell them at the door for $20

>>14730966
Yeah, I think these are available in cheap grocery store like Lidl/Aldi in mainland Europe. I wouldn't bother even for the price.
>>14730982
Two completely different frags. MKK is literally the smell of an armpit of a neanderthal hunter. I think only Zootopian Hyrax was more challenging animalic frag I've tried. Musc Ravageur is really snice and the musk here is more reminiscent of that in Kiehl's Musk not the furry stinky animalic one as far as I remember.
>>14731023
Kinda true mate, but if you sniffed couple of hundreds of frags it's not that easy to find something you wouldn't go 'meh' on. I don't think that uniqueness is the ultimate goal but I definitely don't want to smell like ex-boyfriend or coworker of someone. I'm glad that I don't really find the most popular scents very attractive, so don't have an internal contrarian struggle with wearing what I like.
>>14731141
What's wrong big men? I don't even remember when I posted it last time.
>>14731230
It's a very comfy scent. Cherry tobacco and spices plus some amber coziness. Great for F/W weekends you want just to enjoy the day.
>>14731758
It's unironically a very good cologne water but completely unsuitable as a fragrance.
>>14731911
That's kinda how I imagine Fume. Hendley anon can verify.
>>14731979
I think you can get all of these for 0 bucks by visiting 2-3 Sephoras in your city. Very generic stuff but probably worth checking out as laying a base of points of reference if you're just starting.
>>14732332
Kek, the absolute madman. Did you buy it because the recent Notino nichesale posting of mine? I was wearing Amouage Opus VI tonight, probably the best sample out of my order. I must giveaway my Amouage Gold, Odd Fellows' Bouquet and Rien Intense Incense to someone as they were absolute misses for me.
>>14732432
Good stuff. Also never get a fragrance that you don't really like.
>>14732504
If your objective is to smell good to normie rosties then get your Sauvage desu.

>>14731837
I thought this frag smelling like cat piss was just a meme until I tried a sample myself and holy shit they were right

>>14733011
did you wear it in stupidly hot weather?
That's when it smells like cat piss to me.

>>14730902

Finna boutta cop this shit

why yes I do wear christian communist produced TDH clones
https://youtu.be/sxb3c-4XKqA

>>14733011
I disagree

>>14733054
It's great shit and I've got a bottle but I can't think of many situations to wear it. I much prefer fougeres over chypres anyway which kind of makes me a pleb but w/e. Any time I'd want to wear Yatagan I'd rather wear Azzaro, Drakkar, Pino Silvestre, Kouros etc. The only chypre I can really wear whenever is L'HOMME INFINIMENT

how/where do you guys apply a fragrance?

>>14733397
Back of knes, ankles, forehead

Best classic fragrance?

I'm thinking something preppy, worn between 1930-1964, maybe Ivey league type smell

>>14733427
Eau Sauvage
Guerlain Vetiver
ADP Colonia
Chanel Pour Monsieur

>>14733423
>Back of knes, ankles, forehead
heh thanks

>>14733428
Thanks!

>>14733397
back of neck only. thank me later.

>>14731911
>>14732872
>Fume
Yeah it works! Norne is the classic recc but I don't find it as dark as other people make it out to be, to me it's kind of sticky and resiny

>>14732735
I have a bottle of luna rossa sport its like a more refined le male, the rossa line up is rock solid

Just copped these,what am I in for? Any perfume that have beastmode performance for a dude living in Pennsylvania and works in the cold?

What do you guys think of the brown box version?

>>14733522
Many people will say that Eau Sauvage is a shadow of its former self in its current version. Personally, I haven't tried the vintage, but my 2019 bottle smells absolutely phenomenal and performs quite well compared to how badly people claim it performs. It's possible the vintage is better, but I think the modern version is totally fine, and its current reformulation is in line with Fahrenheit as being not bad at all.

Who is slumberhouse and are they good? I cant really find anywhere to sample them but their name pops up a decent amount in these threads

Why the FUCK is she so beautiful lads? She looks like that girl who was a junior in high school that you crushed on hard when you were just a freshman.

>>14732872
Ill hit up a few Sephoras next time I'm in Memphis there is very little in my immediate area in terms of places I could get samples or even smell it before I buy it. I am very new to fragrances and I appreciate the help :^)

What the hell is going on at Zoologist? Literally every single item on their site is sold out.

>>14732872

Dunno man, I knew SM is going to be horrible, but I had to try. I also blind bought Encre Noire Sport in the summer, but that's not something I enjoy wearing, but at least it's really a good fragrance. It opens with a nice citrusy vetiver smell but dries down to smelling like ink in a boring way (hence the name).

Living the meme.

>>14733593
>encre noire
is it just me or does this smell like a really shitty version of tdh?

>>14733596
Congratulations, you've discovered vetiver.

>>14733544
I unironically fucked seniors and juniors when I was a freshman. Now I'm 25 and can't even get myself to go on a date much less fuck anybody.

>>14733614
>Now I'm 25 and can't even get myself to go on a date much less fuck anybody.
why? is it because you aged badly?

>>14733614
Wear it

just got some dior fahrenheit as a first fragrance because i kept seeing it touted as a classic around here
sprayed that shit on and it was obnoxious as it dried but it quickly matured into an intoxicating scent
gonna wear it tomorrow no question

>>14733611
I enjoy both TF Grey Vetver and Guerlain Vetiver. I have also the guilty pleasure of using green Malizia after shave. So no, it is just really boring.

>>14733633
>Why, yes, how did you know?

>>14733614
explain that pic

>>14733596
I have TDH edt, the two smells nothing like each other. TDH is a masterpiece btw.

Bentley Intense

>>14733739
Out of these two, which would you choose and what are the main differences between the two? I've only tried Encre Noir.

>>14733773
Guerlain, because it's cheaper and I think both are really good. I'm going to buy one too in a few months, very good fragrance for days you don't feel like wearing a fragrance.

>>14733558
Read the banner at the top of their site, m8. They’re on vacation until Nov. 1st.

>>14733522
vintage smells completely different partially due to maceration and top notes dying down but largely due to the lack of oakmoss in the newer stuff

>>14733830
This is true. I had some asshole accuse me of selling a fake on ebay and claiming its not how he remembered the fragrance (years ago) and I had to try to explain reformulations to him, only to waste my time and send the damn thing back. The newer stuff is definitely lighter and watered down.

pretty cheap but i like picrel that i got awhile ago. i used to have pacifica’s blood orange roll on too but idk where it went. i’m a fan of black opium, tresor midnight rose and perfumed lotion like philosophy’s fresh cream too from what i’ve samples window shopping. still trying to figure out what scent profile/aesthetic i’m going for to compliment my style..

>>14733633
>>14733740

The Problem with Eros is that it reached almost one million-Tier: this means that you'll find a fag smelling like you and it will get ungeneric.

OM is a good fragrance but it turned to shit since every 16 year old smells like it now.

Get something lesser known that you like or search for niche parfumes.

>>14733839
Why tf do they change formulas? It's the same with the green monster energy. It tastes like shit now.

Why did I wait so long before copping a sample of Dior Homme?

>>14733896
>Dior Homme
So I recently got rid of both DH Intense and Parfum and stuck with original. Can't believe it took me this long to realize the original is king.

>>14733899
Dior Homme Eau is very nice too. But I'm a DHI guy myself.

>>14733633
>he thinks a fragrance will get him laid

>>14733428
Seconding these. I would add some classic Atkinson or Trumpers fragrance of you want to have an UK twist to this list.
>>14733522
Would love to try it out. The anon below is correct though. I’m glad I like the current formulations.
>>14733525
Never tried them but they’re produced by an absolute SJW faggot of doubtful reputation.
>>14733553
Try the websites from the sticky to buy samples online. If you want recs then I’d go over the iceberg chart that’s posted here from time to time.
>>14733593
I wasn’t brave enough to pull a trigger on SM when I was ordering my samples you legend. Yeah, Encre Noires are such cheap gems.

>>14733490
Eucris is fantastic

so i got a free 10ml EDP with a recent 100ml EDT cop

But it's a dropper, how many drops of EDP is the equivalent of 2 sprays of EDT, VERY scared of overdoing it and smelling like ranjeet

>>14733879
It would be against EU law to sell eau sauvage as it was originally made

Rate my daily /fa/

>>14734172
I come from using L'eau D'Issey and I prefer it over my current Edition Blanche.

Any other suggestions for attracting the chicks?

>>14734183
Depends on who you're going for and your style.
Give off a comfycore, warm vibe? Try Polo or London?
More sporty and casual? Give Versace PH a try or ADG Profumo

>>14733920
Every time I see that thumbnail posted, I always think he’s not wearing pants.

>>14730966
La Rive, Cash deodorant is superb for it’s price for casual highschool wear, got quite a few girls complimenting me for it.
Cash spray smells totally differently and is too pungent.

This gets the most compliments from girls from me. My current girl loves it. What does /fa/ think?

>>14734425
If your current GF loves Quorum too, marry her.

>>14734427
Hmm, never heard of Quorum.. Why do you say that?

>>14734430
It’s a meme, you dip! (But also totally not).

>>14734425
I haven’t felt the sensual touch of a women in years

>>14734437
Oh... new to the frag threads. Is fierce considered bad?

Fragrance One: Gay lover for Man available now at fragrance.one
Coming soon to a discounter near you

Is there a daily driver that appeases to the nichefags and the designerfags?

The search is endless and I’m thinking I should give up and only use a few of my niche for formal/date situations

Just got a 35 year old bottle of Azzaro PH .
It smells like herbal german liquor to me

>>14734648
TDH

>>14734656
After 30mins i got hardcore strong oak moss like vintage Kouros. It was worth the weird opening

>>14730433
Give Ted Lapidus Altamir a try. People say it smells similar. I picked up a bottle really cheap and it smells nice and sweet. It is pretty potent on my skin, so don't overspray or you might choke yourself out and not like it.

>>14731722
I love Norne. It's the only one I got to try. I had initially planned on trying more Slumberhouse but then it exploded in popularity and the implosion made everything unavailable. I'm generally over the house unless I can find some decants at a reasonable price (yeah right). I should have grabbed the sample pack when he opened the online store as for some reason I got the overly optimistic idea that he would make things available regularly again
>>14733525
You can find more by searching, but the short is that some guy with serious problems somehow makes insanely good fragrances. A mixture of the fragrance community hyping them up and the unreliability of the owner made a severely limited quantity and exorbitant prices by resellers which has turned me off the house

>>14734812
This is my decant of Norne.

Fuck you Josh

>>14734656
i think they newer ph is a little better than older

Love Maria

What are you going to wear to your Halloween costume lads? Gonna dress up as Bateman, so I think I will go for chad miasma of New York Intense. 10 sprays, fuck'em.

Went to store got nervous and started spraying so many testers, sprayed all over myself, got all the testers mixed up :s

>>14735058
She looks like a tranny.

>>14734479
Dylan Blue

so does tdh edp have more or less of a dirty smell than edt? the mixture of bitterness and citrus is what I love most about the edt
also does the edp have better projection and longevity?

>>14733899
based and originalpilled
I take the original over DHI or VUI any day

>>14735208
EDP is unbearably cloying. EDT (or better Vetiver Intense) all the way over it

>>14735227
i'm curious because my brother wears chanel blue and my other won wears sauvage and they stink of it and their rooms do, like I can open his door and smell sauvage or my brother can walk through the front door and i'll smell chanel but I feel like no one can smell tdh edt on me despite wearing 3 sprays

>>14735219
Absolutely. I made the mistake of getting hyped by DHI and Parfum and their rarity that I blind bought both bottles. Hadn't even smelled DH original. DHI was nice but far, far too much iris, and Parfum was cloying as all shit and just generally a waxy powder bomb with smoke that just mashed together sloppily and came off cheap later in the day. I was at Sephora some few months later and tried the original and walked around the mall some and holy shit it was perfect. Blended so well, and with just enough subtle touches of it's flankers that I literally went back and bought a bottle retail. To me, It's Dior's masterpiece and it's flankers can't touch it. On the hunt for a vintage bottle atm.

>>14735219
>>14735279
anon who got the sample today and loved it here.
Glad I made the right choice

>>14735108
Does she? I come from eastern europe where trannies are a myth so I can pretty much say I have never seen a transvestite. She doesn't look very masculine and she's great in Eugenius' videos.

>>14735065
YSL OPIUM is the right choice, yuppie.

>>14729522

Can someone recommend me a frag for this colour scheme? Sorry for janky pic.

>>14735358
For the fuccboi aesthetic? Any generic bubblegum designer will do.

Aqua Quorum/fougerefag here. If you guys gotta get a modern ambroxan frag, please go for this. I hate to admit it but this shit smells absolutely divine, should be popular like Eros but I've never seen it in any department stores near me even.

Does anyone have any experience turning their gf into a fraghead? Also how feasible is just living off of saphora frags for three frags you like but dont feel like buying?

>>14735632
*Saphora samples

I’m branching out into spicy orientals and pic related kept popping up as a modern take on Egoiste, which sounds nice. Has anybody here tried it?

>>14735378

I smoke weed with my black girlfriend at night, does this help steer you towards a possible suggestion?

>>14735720
Also curious about this. I'm worried it'll be a cloying clove bomb

>inb4 but it says homme on the label!!

>>14735720
get egoist or coromandel, not a cheap "modern take"

>>14735632
seems doable. the chances of the sales person A. remebering you, B. being the same sales person, C. caring is very low. And even lower if you can split it between 2 stores.

>>14735943
That one isn't that 'cheap', and aren't both of those Chanels discontinued?

Anyone tried this? I like the smell of sandalwood. Do you guys have any other suggestions??

>>14735750
Cocoa butter and menthols.

>>14735046
>i think they newer ph is a little better than older
But i doubt it has that oak moss powerbomb because of todays restrictions. Never tried it tho

>>14734812
>>14734823
Yeah, I wouldn’t bother with Slumberhouse at this point. There were supposed to be new bottles on the 20th, now he’s saying “Oh, sorry, I actually meant the week of the 20th”, odds are it’ll be another few weeks still, and the bottles’ll probably all sell out in a few hours. Just not worth bothering to try to support this dude, he obviously doesn’t give a fuck. He’s too busy doing drugs and meditating in the woods or whatever the fuck he does.

Get your shit together, Josh.

>>14735356
>YSL OPIUM
I'm not a fag

I cant bring myself to wear my "nice" cologne (nothing niche, but big designer collection) unless it's for a special event or something. Usually only wear Zara frags even though I have so many bottles of the good stuff that I'll hardly ever finish a bottle. Anyone have a similar problem? I guess it's a symptom of deeper issues, because I'm the same with other aspects of my life (never make a move on girls that are clearly into me because I think I'm not good enough etc.)

>>14736395
Yeah I’m hesitant to spray my expensive bottles when the occasion is lacking. Usually I try not to even buy something if I feel it’ll warrant that kinda behavior though

New thread:
>>14729522
>>14736413

>>14736395
Yeah when I was 15 my mother bought me a bottle of Bleu de Chanel at my begging. That what five years ago and I still have more then half the bottle left. It’s still my favorite fragrance to wear but until recently I’ve always had this aversion to wearing it because of how nice/expensive it was.

>>14736395
I'm exactly the same bro, it's partly due to how much I like a certain fragrance and not wanting to waste it when I know the audience will not be worth it on some days. Luckily back up bottles kinda solves this problem (designer prices)

>>14735720
I have a sample. It’s a massive clove bomb.

>>14736388
It’s what he actually wears in the movie you dumbfuck

>>14735750

Your girlfriend's ethnicity is not a part of your personality, moron

>>14735579

I'll sample this off your recommandation alone. I've seen 100ml bottles for 55$.

Also, I've received my OMS Oud from India. Maybe I'll give it a first wear tomorrow. Today's Kouros at work day

>>14734425
Anyone own Prada Luna Rossa Black? I sampled it the other day and loved it, great scent, projection and longevity. Wore it again yesterday and it disappeared in like an hour. How is the performance really?

>>14736083
I've tried it on paper late last month. It smelt nice and woody. Very simple. It wasn't an intense scent, but it lasted on the card for nearly two days before it faded away. I'm not sure about other options though, so go try stuff out.

>>14735981
no
