Reminder that owning more than 5 fragrances is completely unnecessary and shows that you're uneducated on personal finance
Buy decants

>>14748829
Hobbies and interests are inherently not necessary.

>>14748829

If you still do, you're probably retarded.

>>14748831
>hobby
>buying fragrances

Pick one

>>14748831
Liking fragrances and experimenting can be accomplished with decants
Owning tons of fragrances that won't ever be emptied is hoarding, not a hobby

>>14748821
Pretty sure the people shitting on it aren’t memeing

It’s pretty trash to wear if you’re 20+.
25+ is the cutoff if you’re being generous

Based Eugene

Y’all think he makes some really serious dough or is just racking up some serious debt? I can’t imagine spending that kind of money and time on fragrances when I have a wife and kids to provide for

Is BDC Parfum the best of the normie tier fragrances?

>>14748853
lurk for another couple weeks and any blue fag will make you wanna puke

>>14748852
he's 6"5 and not emaciated, so going by price of food in canada, he's a billionare

Don't listen to the kissless virgins. All three iterations of Bleu are great.

Sometimes you just want something thoughtless that my girl also appreciates

>>14748873
take the armani code pill, my gf in college got it for me, I dont wear it anymore but have ~10mls left in an old bottle. i appreciate the memories associated with the smell. Dumb college thots love it

Russian Adam sprays casually 21 sprays of his thick heavy Parfum Extraits in hot weather and you're afraid of spraying 2 sprays under your shirt in Autumn.

>>14748870
Most blue style frags don’t sit to well with me, but the supposed emphasis on sandalwood and cedar wood in the Parfum makes it seem like a nice middle ground

>>14748881
A little too juvenile for myself, but yeah girls definitely like it.

>>14748885
Top kek, he sprays 50 sprays in another video

Is tobacco oud good or just a meme? I’m probably going to check it out tomorrow at the store. I need a more “aggressive” fragrance.

>>14748893
>>14748885
i think people who sell perfume always show themselves dousing because it makes idiots use their bottles faster

Jeremy is legitimately right about it

Just get a sample.

cunts like him are why I can smell sauvage from 60 feet away everywhere I go.
Normies are cunts, all of them!

>>14748863
I think he’s a construction manager, and probably pulls 100k, which is not enough to keep up with his spending habits. Gonna assume he has some serious credit card debt solely from smell addiction

>>14748912
Even Jeremy only sprays 5 times. Fucking hell this has to be gag inducing in real life.

>>14748923
Trust me it is.
I've grown to hate Sauvage so much smelling it all the time at work (especially in summer in the restaurant) that I can't stand to wear Carbon anymore

I got Versace dreamer blind, I like it

>>14748927
I love London and i love lavender scents like Gucci Guilty/Cool Water/Carbon etc
Is it a given I'll enjoy Dreamer for the cheap ass price it goes for as a blindbuy?

>>14748744
Have it

>>14748759
Baby's first mid tier frag and thinks he is super hot shit.Litte boy can only dream of rocking real man stuff like wanted by night and Dior homme, spams the threads for approval and (you) probably only watches Jeremy and is saving up for office for men

BDC parfum is very good. Almost unanimous favorite of normie friends. Its right at the threshold of elegantly different but not quite into niche autist territory. The other two are meh with weak performance

what is the coldest most austere fragrance?

>>14748927
Based. My blind buy Dreamer is in the mail somewhere in New Jersey.

>>14749014
Thanks friend, that’s what I’m looking for

I hope I’m not too niche-poisoned to appreciate it

>>14749057
I love the look of the blue/green bottles. Reminds me of these cool see thru LEGO blocks I played with when I was a kid

>>14749057
Great business model desu

>>14748895
The opening is extremely harsh, but when it dries, oh boy, that’s where it comes in to it’s own. Really nice for the time of year too.

>>14749014
>>14749060
Chanel bleu is boring shit. Literally rub some lemon zest on your arm to get the same effect

>>14749110
My man, I’ve probably smelled 200+ niche frags. Most of them don’t need to exist at all. For the most part, they’re not any more interesting

Is this the best fougère around?

>>14748771
To be honest I've been curious for a while what this would look like updated. What would get tossed? What would be kept? Would additions reflect new released/frag memes (Zoologist)?
>>14748825
Watched this without knowing the MSRP, man Malle is pulling a Kurkdjian and appealing to the arab market, I like how our boy eugenius calls him out (also lol at the intro)
>>14748852
>>14748863
>>14748919
I recall a SOTD video of him at work where he was in an auto shop(?). Nevertheless our boy literally wears feminine Chanels and Guerlains to a blue collar job, BASED
>>14749057
Like 95% of houses it means "this marketed for people interested in fragrance" but the rich pleb who will buy for the label at the mall

re: "Blue" fragrances chat. There are some good niche ones like the CdG series. I have Blue Santal and it's a really cool/fresh/crisp sandalwool + juniper

What are the best Sleazecore Frags?

People will just recommend you cheap 80s masculines when you ask this.

>>14749372
Jovan Musk and Aramis

>>14749372
Kouros by far

Waiting for the Squidward Chad review

>>14749372
Drakkar Noir

>>14748873
I was testing out Vetiver Extraordinaire while going out with a random normie girl. I made her smell me all through the day (she spent the night and we were out in the city the next day, so she saw me spray FM VE before leaving the house) and she fucking loved it the whole time.

>>14748759
>>14748744
>>14748821

Daily reminder, Eros is a massive cope.

>>14749536
Bet she would enjoy BDC more desu, you should try. I own VE and it’s nice, but it doesn’t get much of a response other than “it’s nice”.

>>14748829
You buy fragrances because you like them, not because you need them.

>>14748865
>>14748857
Didn't like blue fragrances from the jump, but I don't think it has much to do with "normies".
>>14748927
I liked it but not enough to keep it.

>>14748873
You people are obsessed with Eau Sauvage. There’s nothing dated about it. There’s not a hint of oakmoss feared by so many in here. I really think you should sniff Aramis Aramis and some of the creations from Rogue Perfumery where he uses natural oakmoss to understand what does an 80s style fragrance means (I didn’t really loved a single fragrance from his sample set). Fuck, I even find classic Guerlains like Mouchoir de Monsieur or Jicky to skanky and dated, so it’s not like I’m all blind to this notion but can’t really understand what do you find so challenging about Eau Sauvage.

Thoughts on Aqua di Gio? Had an airport sized bottle a while back, had very positive reactions from the ladies. Just wondering if it's worth it to pick one up or if there are better alternatives. Don't mind spending some cash

Squidwad pt 2.
>you can move his nose almost a complete 360 degrees
Wore this to work so here’s a review
>notes are green apple, clear musk, persian gum, galbanum, Amber, and green notes
On first spray it just smells like hand sanitizer, this is probably because it has a cheap alcohol base and it combines with the green apple note. On the dry down it becomes more pleasant and not quite as harsh, what I get out of it is green apple and amber more than anything else. Silage is pretty mild, longevity isn’t great it lasts on my skin only 4 hours or so, as for projection, it is barely there it only exists on the appendage you have sprayed on.
>tldr
Only worth it for the head which you can then put on your other snice scents

>>14749778
For example

>>14749786

>>14749789
Put it on ultra male

>>14749789
have you tried the sea one? Is it worth getting the sample set for 40 bucks?

>>14749816
If you have the money, try it. The squid was pleasant but disappointing, 40 bucks seems reasonable to sample all of them.

>>14749813
Don’t have it sorry

>>14749789
This might be the first cursed /frag/ OC I have seen

Im a nichefag through and through. I smelled BDC parfum for the first time this weekend and was impressed.It really is good. Niche doesnt mean good it means creative. BDC parfum may not be the most creative but it does a good job at what its job was to do

4 sprays of this and I smell like a god

Just bought my first candle, bros. Fucking Eugene

>>14750000
It's amazing how such little willpower he has. Literally said he's moved on from perfumes to buying overpriced candles. Makes a long video about the financial and personal danger of fragrance addiction, and literally buys a $1,500 Malle perfume that smells like dogshit just a fee days ago. I don't trust anything this leafmong says anymore.

>>14750027
Well that was the msrp, but it was sent to him from a semi-sponsor or something so I don’t think he paid more than a few hundred for all that stuff

Not refuting your other points

>>14750027
He has an addictive personality. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. If it wasn’t fragrances, or candles, or whatever, it’s be gambling, or drinking, or drugs, or playing the lottery, or something. Guys like that always just go from one addiction to another. It’s a never ending cycle.

What is the strangest scent you want to smell like and what is the closest frag to it?

>I wanna smell like a can of fresh tennis balls

>>14750027
I mean, don’t listen to him for life advice, but he’s one of the only honest and knowledgeable reviewers out there. All the more known reviewers are getting shit sent for free and likely money in exchange for top 10 lists.

Eugene can’t even hold back from talking shit about his sponsor because he doesn’t give a shit about sucking up to anyone.

>>14749983
>4 sprays
what the hell are you doing my man
the only thing that needs 4 sprays is Eros if you're going clubbing, otherwise its 1-2 on the neck and collarbone

>>14750027
Kek, can you imagine what his wife thought when she saw a $1500 expense for a small bottle of shit water.

>>14750035
Yeah, I have a cousin (not that close) who went from a watch addiction to shoes. Blew everything he had, credit card debt up to his eyeballs, the whole nine yards. He has a good job and can't seem to curb his buying addiction and last I heard from him he was begging his siblings to bail him out financial wise. Shit is super sad but I want nothing to do with it.

>>14750047
Realize you have a problem and be responsible. Don’t trade one addiction for another, talk to your family, get support, don’t give up something you love, but do it in a way that isn’t destructive. Maybe put aside 100.00 or whatever amount each month for fragrances, you can spend it all each month, or save it up and buy a few niche bottles a year. Make sure your wife or whoever is able to monitor your spending in this area so she knows if you go over.

It takes discipline, but it is possible to do something in a responsible way like that. The problem is, so many people can’t admit they have an addiction, and if they do, many don’t take steps to try to get better.

>>14750052
>only 4 for the club
Minimum is 20, and that's only if you're going downstairs just to get the mail.

>>14750048
I know that feel

>>14750098
No you don’t.

>>14750075
Bet she earns as much if not more than Eugene. Also he has kids, that’s $1500 for a smelly bottle that he could have invested in his children. It’s so fucking retarded it’s insane.

>>14750098
Good one. Never heard it before.

>>14750075
calm down incel

Just came back from Epcot (had a blast) and bought this...oh my goodness is this nice!!! And the guy who was waiting on me was so sweet. Gave me just hella samples and stuff and we talked scents like penhaligon and our favorite fragrances from different companies. His name is Angel. If you see him treat him well!!!

hello, not really a fragrance bro, only know of basic shit like Dior, Versace, etc.
what’s a popular meme scent (not looking for anything niche or obscure) that would be fitting on a tall skinny bro who wears boots and lives on black coffee and cigarettes?

>>14748732
Does Dior Homme smells like chocolate?

>>14749933
>>14749159
I never said anything regarding niche frags being better or worse or whatever...I don't care one way or another about niche elitism.
All I'm saying is chanel Bleu is shit

>>14749372
Eau Sauvage

>>14750080
>>14750121

BDC is garbage though.

>>14749847
*based

Kidnapped some womyn today anon?

>>14749776
>Aqua di Gio
classic frag, crowd-pleasing and flexible.
if you like it then get a bottle.
it will probably get dismissed as a "normie" frag but w/e reception you get irl from women are more valuable than reception you get from anonymous

I’m on the airport and sniffed some stuff. I never tried Fuel for Life before and I’d prefer to stay that way. Disgusting cloying juvenile raspberry. I tried a couple of TFs I’ve never tried before too. Venetian Bergamot is snice but feminine because of the prominent white flowers. Fougere d’Aegent is an unremarkable weak fougere. I was really impressed with Fougere Plarine though. Very snice smooth bitter green tobacco scent with some woods and frankincense. Good stuff.
I’m wearing today my Tuscan Leather sample. What are you wearing lads?

>>14750810
I'm wearing by the fireplace and I'm currently sitting by the fireplace before bed :)

>>14750810
For me it is Timbuktu

>>14750802
what?

>>14750465
Just as much as the cacao drydown in Guerlain L'Instant or Armani Diamonds does imo

>>14750389
Eros

As an 18 yo just about to leave hs, should I buy versace eros or Dylan blue?
I normally wear tight sexcore if context is needed

>>14751084
>As an 18 yo just about to leave hs
post tits or gtfo
>yes, men have tits too

>>14751084
kys

>>14751084
both are great if you love being fucked in the ass by bears, twink

>>14751118
I mean, who doesn't?

>>14749776
If you are going for it, pick the Profumo or absolu instict. The latter is specially exquisite as it’s opening is so citrusy. The former is simply less common.

>>14751146
Profumo is leagues better than Absolu Instinct imo. The latter is basically Dylan Blue.

>>14749731
The fact that other dated fragrances also exist doesn’t except eau sauvage from it. No ones telling you to stop wearing it.

>>14751108
Now you

>>14751253
Good boy!

>>14751257
Homofaggots need the rope

>>14751253
why is your face so fat and your torso so lean?

>>14751262

>>14751253
How's your little sister?

Lads, i left to grab a bottle of either YSL La nuit de L'Homme or DG the one, b-but i ended up buying Zadig&Voltaire instead... The sandalwood so just so good for a date fragance that i could not pass it up.

I also got a sample of Terre D'Hermés, a fragance i had smelled on paper before. Now that i have felt it on my skin, i have to correct my previous post at >>14751146 , because it simply outclasses absolu instinct in its purpose.
>>14751146
My point was that AdG Profumo is still a little bit too common, although it is certainly better than the regular AdG. Taking into consideration what I said above, I have to concede that Acqua di Gio Profumo is the most prudent choice of the line as of now.

>>14751290
Not my face

>>14751299
Don't have one
>>14751299

And Slumberhouse shop is up. And Norne is already sold out. Thanks, Josh. Guess I gotta buy it on eBay for like 400.00 if I want it.

>>14751681
Norne is getting another cask, just have to be patient. I got on a waiting list for the European supplier by emailing them and asking to reserve a bottle.

>>14751681
Why do y’all faun over this guy? Norne was one of the first scents I ever sampled. It’s basically a dark pine essential oil. It’s nearly unwearable.

>>14751740
Smells good man

>>14751108
>>14751253
>>14751257

Guys why is vetiver so good smelling

new cdg

>>14750062
Is this the epitome of niche perfumery?
Expensive and smells like shit

>>14751953
apparently arabs like the smell and that's who its marketed to. Also no way eugene paid msrp, theres like 5 posts here bashing him for paying full price

>>14751883
A true man of culture

>>14751962
Sure, he probably got it for 2/3 of the price and only paid $1000 for barnyard shit water.

>>14751962
Even a deep discount would come out to 300-500 bones which is still too much for hemorrhagicassholewater. The leaf is just a relapsing idiot.

Over last couple days I came back to my woody samples that I hoarded; Bentley Absolute, Tam Dao, Encre Noire, CdG Wonderwood, CdG 2 Man and Nasomatto Duro. These were the first things I've sampled as I fell in love with Encre Noire. I must say that I find them really, really boring now. Were the woody scents gatekeepers into niche for you as well? Did you also get bored with them?

>>14752052
tried wonderoud and chad d'hermes yet?

Aight lads i just got samples from mancera and im torn between lemon aoud mint black gold aoud violet and cedrat boise, blue notes is also interesting but i think after 15min it just starts smelling like straight aoud i also want to sample red tobacco.

Just got a fresh batch of Tuscan Leather and Oud Minerale. I am in love with these scents.

I got Profumo Roma's sea frag but it smells of fucking mint. Not a patch on Oud Minerale.

>>14750802
You are my friend

>>14748835
>I don't like it so it isn't a hobby

>>14752075
Yes obviously

>>14752052
Yep, i went all in on the woods when I first got into frags. I prefer things a little more well rounded now.

>>14752138
I mean, licking stamps is also a hobby with standards that low

A while ago I asked about pic related here and it was fairly well received. I didn't really like the original One Million cause it was too sweet for me and I was buying this one blindly, but I'm very pleasantly surprised by this one
The sweet notes fade away a lot more quickly and I feel like I can use this one without getting tired of it too fast, thanks for the recommendation

>>14752167
poor bait

What would Kramer wear?

>>14752180
how is that 14 year old pussy hitting

>>14751906
Sounds interesting

So fellas, i have a bottle of Burberry Brit Rhythm Intense I grabbed last autumn for £18 or so for a 90ml?
I enjoyed it but now my nose has made me not like it, so it's just sitting on my shelf. But I would like a leathery scent that's a bit more... rounded? Better blended? In any case would Nuit D'Issey be a place to start? For budget reasons I'd rather not get something too pricey.

>>14752187
Must have struck a nerve here

kristo and eugene are live again

>>14752218
kramer would wear a beach/aquatic scent obviously

>>14752218

What is deodorant that doesn't suck ass? Everything at every store is either old spice/axe and smells like a middle school locker, or degree or some shit and does nothing. Are there any other options?

>>14752469
i use speedstick unscented

PolskiBrit, how is the performance on your Chergui? I got a boxed sample of it from Harvey Nichols but it only really projected for the first hour today. After that it was pretty close to the skin.

Everyone's skin is different so it could just be that. Still a nice scent though.

>>14752469

>>14752455
Were you on his 10 reviewers I hate list? We pro Eugene here regardless of his poor life decisions

>>14752469

Works for me

What's a good winter frag that makes you smell like a snack? Something comfy/cozy that makes you want to cuddle with?

>>14752506
No we not, bruh.

>>14752481
Not him, but I got a similar sample from Bijenkorf a couple weeks ago, and it projected for at least 4 or 5 hours on me. It was actually stronger than I remembered it being last time I sampled it. I chalk the rumors of it being weak now up to reformulation autists for the time being.

>>14752506

As for ones with scents, I like Garnier Bio's male line

>>14752603
True. Body chemistry is not a meme. Could also be that you just need to use more to get good performance out of it. Maybe try a few extra sprays next time and see if that makes a difference for you.

Please tell me how duro was or anyone who has tried it

>>14748927
Just got this. Smells great. Performance is okay.

Sampled Tom Ford tobacco vanille today, literally smells like beeswax candles and that's it. Pointless and dumb

Noire Extreme on the other hand, now that's an interesting fragrance. Got a small sample of that to try out

>>14752469
Crystal deodorant is the best thing ever and I can't recommend it highly enough.

thoughts:
>sprayed on one wrist, rubbed onto the other
>good projection for the last 4 hours
>scent was very strong at first, a 15-minute period that it almost gave me a headache
>after about an hour, a nice leathery-smoky scent came out
>oud is nice, castoreum overpowers it for a while though
>cyprus and angelica are on the edges nicely, develop more after the 3-4 hour mark
>can't catch any of the purported ginger
overall, pretty nice
good performance, good sillage (i'm not one who wants to announce)
not a year-round scent, not even a winter scent desu, a good fall scent imo
i think that if there were spices like in Oud Wood, this would be a better fragrance.
i think it gets hate from not being Oud Wood, so people shit on it
8/10, impressed

>>14752469
i use dove minerals+sage
no aluminum, which is nice, and its essentially odorless after about 30 minutes, but still keeps me dry
i've never had a lot of luck with unscented, but i've only tried natural unscented or Toms

are fragrance sets worth if your paying $20-30 extra for the shower gel etc?

Only today btw

>>14752834
I've heard mixed reviews about it, it was one of my choices though. Is it really that good?

What kind of person wears Winter Palace by Memo Paris?

>went to the cheese steak place at the mall for lunch wearing pic related
>have crush on the cute redhead working there
>mexican guy hands me my sandwich and says he likes my perfume

NOOOOOOO I WAS SO CLOSE BROS!!!! was still nice of him to say

>>14753919
why bros

Can anyone remind me the name of that frag, that smells like black tea and sugar, i read about it in some previous thread and got interested.
And if it’s too expensive, is there any cheaper copypaste version?

>>14753919
So did you get his number or what?

>>14753986
He wishes, gringo!

>>14753919
>Beaner appreciates cheap mall shit
colour me shocked

Is there anything like Dior Homme but with more prominent patchouli? I like the mild skankiness it gives off with the OG DH, but I feel something a little dirtier would be perfect for me

>>14753997
i thought malls were the apex of the american dream?

TF noir extreme is such a weird and intriguing scent. Don't even know if it's good or not but can't stop sniffing wtf

Captured some anatolian cooties today anon?

>>14753971
Black orchid?

>>14752863
You have to buy a MDCI bottle now and do that.

>>14754209

>babys first gourmand

Do yourself a favor and dont smell kilians to keep yourself out of the rabbit hole. Ive sold some of mine because its just been too juvenile for me

Which of these $0.05 samples should i get?

what kind of fragrance goes with a chad jawline and slicked back medium length hair?

>>14754481
semen concentrate

PSA: for people who use Luckyscent, always check the “gifts with purchase” section. People seem to not know about this. You can get some good stuff for free. I just got me a 15ml travel spray of Nicolai Patchouli Intense with my bottle of Norne.

>>14754545
Whattttt!!!!

Just got this in the mail
It really smells like freshly cracked black pepper with some lavender behind it, it's delicious

>>14754522
Where may I buy such an elixir, kind Sir?

>>14754734
I have a sample you can have. *unzips penis*

>>14754562
Yup. The available gifts change periodically too. I’ve gotten soap, candles, Serge Lutens mini bottles, an 8 piece set of 2 ml Ormonde Jayne scents. Just thought I’d let people know it was a thing.

The Dreamer just came in lads. It's so fucking weird at first but it definitely becomes interesting after the opening. It's hard to believe that the same house that made E R O S also made this. It smells like New York Upper West Side money. I think I like it but it is absolutely not a blind buy. But it would feel retarded buying a sample of this or going out to find a Sephora that has it when you're u can buy it for $21. Beware lads

>>14754351
Wtf is it actually a gourmand? Maybe it's because I'm a noselet, but Noir extreme doesn't smell like a gourmand at all to me, IE it doesn't evoke anything edible to my nose.

There's a bit of sweetness, but far from gourmand imo. I can't put my finger on it tho it's really strange

any southern california bros itt? what do you guys wear during our fall and winter?

>>14754892
i bought my bottle from marshall's for like 20 bucks. great find.

>>14754545
This anon got Norne! Based!
>>14754709
This is my daily driver. I spray it on clothes

>>14754933
Well, not yet. I just preordered it. Should ship late next week, or possibly a couple weeks later if I got the second batch. But yeah, it’s coming.

>>14754892
Sometimes it’s better to buy an overpriced sample of a cheap frag, than to glare at it on your shelf for years

really craving some fahrenheit rn, bros

>>14752732
Does Noir Extreme really smells like vanilla? I was going to get Guerlain Homme Ideal EDP since it also has cherry with vanilla

>>14753971
Gucci pour homme ii?

>>14753971
Check out l'artisan parfumeur- tea for two, if tea is your thing

>>14755119
I don't really get vanilla out of noir extreme. It might have a hint of it, but I definitely wouldn't classify it as a vanilla fragrance. If it does have it, it's not prominent at all

i have pic related
might go for "Essence" from the same line as a secondary, any thots?

>>14754954
L’HOMME INFINIMENT

PdM secret police whacked Eugenius https://youtu.be/_kq1UoYyzjI

My wardrobe has been rounded out to a load of versatiles mall-tier to mid tier designers (Maison Kitsune, A&F, Tommy/Diesel/Emporio Armani/CK etc)
So how should I expand my frag repetoire to fit this? Do I go about sampling popular niche frags like Layton, TL, GIT etc? Or should I just buy bottles of Dior, Guerlain, Chanel etc and be done with high end designer frags to compliment my clothes?

>>14754893

Noir extreme is literally based of a pajeet dessert. It’s a good frag though

Any opinions on this frag?

Are there any amber heavy frags I can wear year round without smelling like an arab who's oversprayed in 30c heat?

Blind bought ADP Colonia Essenza last night. Did I fuck up?

>>14755558
Nope. You made one of the best blind buys possible. Got mine with a blind buy too

>>14755441
I would say you should listen to your heart senpai. It might be a good idea to do it in steps tho (go for high end designers first and then move to niche) if you want to prolong the excitement of the journey

>>14754480
Layton or cedrat boise... I'd take layton tho just bc it's way more expensive

>>14752481
Are you sure you didn't just become anosmic to it?

>>14755580
I'll do that then. first big purchase money wise outside of a 125ml of ADG Profumo I bought in the Summer would be a toss up between the Og Dior Homme or Allure Homme Sport

>>14755633
Both solid choices tho (albeit slightly overplayed and with solid cheaper alternatives). What you can also start fucking with is "cheaper" niche brands like aqua di parma, atelier cologne, l'artisan parfumeur, mancera, montale, serge lutens, etc. It depends on how deep you want to go down the rabbit hole. If you only want to smell great to compliment your attire, high end designer frags will do the trick

Thoughts on mancera purple flowers? Its 38$ on fragrance buy.ca and im super tempted to blindbuy

>>14755679
Well I tried Versace PH and it just doesn't last on me. Love the Dior but it's only really an autumn/winter scent for me.
Can test out Montale and Serge etc, see how I like them but only if I feel they'd be good scents for special ocassions like weddings or something

>>14755496
I understand that's what it says on fragrantica, but honestly doesn't mean much considering the subjective nature of scents

Maybe if I smelled that dessert before I'd make the gourmand association but I haven't so it doesn't smell gourmand to me

How do you all find the Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Profumo? I'm a complete novice in the fragrance game and might cop it as my first real one.

>>14755989
I can only smell the late 90s early 2000s when I smell.

>>14756044

I liked the 90s, not a fan of the 00s though. So, would you recommend it or is there some other noob fragrance that's better?

>>14755989
it's shit, smells like lalique white, grandpa scent, too spicy
maybe the oroginal ADG is better

can you guys recommend me some heavy Aldehyde frags? I really like nautica classic, l'ea d'issey and this cdg soda sample i just got. I also love the smell of bleached towels/sheets

>>14756073
I wouldn’t recommend it. Maybe it’s different if you don’t have associations with from a kid, but I immediately visualize frosted tips and bootcut diesel jeans every time I smell it.

If you’re looking for a mass appealing dumb reach, go for bleu de chanel, just pick which every version appeals to you most.

just /into frag/,
should i buy ysl la nuit de l'homme or eros?
i’m tall and rail thin, read a lot of books and play guitar because i’m a sensitive faggot

>>14756260
try prada luna rossa sport, le male, and spicebomb extreme also

>>14756260
both are ok but la nuit has shit performance so Id go for eros

>>14756239
CdG 2

>>14756260

You don’t strike me as the fuckboy chad to pull those off. That’s not a bad thing because you can try something more interesting. Go darker brooding and spicy

>>14756260
Start lifting weights, but while you're skinny you can still wear Fuel For Life. Once you get some frame it's time to move on to L'HOMME INFINIMENT

>>14755392
Those guys are fucking mental! Eugene's last livestream was fucking nuts. He really did take down all his videos. Way to commit to this gag. I'm sure a video where Kristo is breaking him out of the Fragrance gestapo jail is on its way

>>14756285
2 /2man gives me a headache

>>14756438
i wish they were more popular. kristo deserves free cdg stuff to review

>>14755989
It's definitely the best of the ADG line imo. It's not my favorite "marine" scent. But it's a solid designer fragrance

>>14756260
Fragances for different occasions. La Nuit De L'Homme is more tradional fragance for quiet occasions, while Eros is bubblegummy and fit for more "agitated" enviroments.

>>14749983
Reflection smells like some cheap designer frag, not worth the price. Epic is where its at.

Interlude is trash as well. come at me bro.

>>14756502

Since everyone else shitted on it, is there anything you would recommend?

>>14756545
Just go to a store and sniff for yourself. I can tell you how you’re going to like certain scents.

Wearing an all black streetwear/e-boy fit.
What frag should I wear with it? Lyric Man maybe? been tempted to sample it for ages

>>14756260
From your description it sounds like la nuit will suit you better. I actually wore it yesterday (after a long ass hiatus) got a compliment, a girl that started lurking around me and some obvious attraction / hair touching by a very attractive / stylish girl. I have the old formulation tho, so I don't know if that might be a factor...

>>14755731
Have you tried valentino uomo / uomo intense?

>>14756541
Jubilation xxv all the way

>>14752793

Wtf Naxos just smells like a spicy pajeet

>>14756902
You fuckin take that back immediately!

>>14756260
Buy something that fits your personality first.
If you live somewhere with mild weather, get Prada L'Homme
If it's really hot, get Mugler Cologne or Dior Homme Cologne
Buying statement fragrances like La Nuit or Eros will be a waste of money given that they aren't versatile an you probably wont feel secure wearing them

Other good options are Prada LR Black, Valentino Uomo Intense, Bleu de Chanel, JV Artisan Pure

>>14757005
Wear what you like

>>14757005
>Prada l'homme
I tried so hard and got so far. In the end I really don't get the hype. Never reach for this anymore

>>14757019
is that not my point?
>>14757025
Well, at least you got the smaller one, anon
imo its the best fragrance of the last 5 years, but that's probably because i wore Prada Infusion D'homme for a few years before it came out and it feels like a great substitute because of the better performance and gorgeous ambery drydown

>>14757043
>best fragrance of the last 5 years
Just to clarify, you mean in the designer realm right?

>>14757121
There are niche fragrances that smell more interesting but it beats everything in versatility and reliability
Also Prada is the most distinct low designer house.

>>14757171
Do you view versatility as the key component when it comes to judging how good a fragrance is? Also, what do you mean by reliability? I'm truly trying to understand the hype

>>14757179
Of course. I'm this person >>14748829
A fragrance that smells fantastic but is very hard to pull off is a worse fragrance to me than one that smells just good but makes the most out of my money for being very wearable.
I am trying to keep my number of bottles to a minimum, after all
Reliability means that it performs the same in different conditions such as weather

>>14757213
I still don't get it... L'homme has no winter spirit and also fails as a casual frag unless you're a very specific kind of person. It defs has exceptional quality (especially the iris) for its price, but to say it's the best release of the last 5 years is an unbelievable statement to me. I guess I won't be convinced otherwise today. Thanks for engaging me tho

>>14755825
Just because you haven't smelled the food itself doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to associate the general motif of the fragrance with other gourmands.

>>14757305
>>14757305
Gourmand = edible association. I don't get any edible association with noir extreme, therefore it doesn't smell gourmand to me. Regardless of whatever motifs it shares with other so called gourmand frags

If you wanna classify it as gourmand then ok fine, I'm just saying it doesn't smell like anything edible to me

Are there any other frags similar to Invasion Barbare? I only have a sample but it makes me feel like such a king! And I dont care about "barbershop" frags in general, just this one. Just want something that smells like fucking royalty as much as this one.

Looking for a new "warm spicy" frag for the fall. I already have Pegasus, Layton, Herod, Spicebomb, Noir Extreme, L'Homme Ideal EDP, JXXV, The One, Jazz Club, By the Fireplace, 1776, HiM, and DHI. I'm looking for something a little more cheeky this time. I was thinking 1 Million Prive/Lucky, or Azzaro Wanted by Night. I've also been hearing Nuit D'Issey Noir Argent hyped lately. Which of those 4 is your guys' favorite? Is there another I should look into?

>>14757314
new york intense
floris eau de santal
egoiste

>>14757314
HdP 1725 is supposed to be very similar to that. I haven't smelled IB but I own 1725 and it's really damn good if you don't mind a lot of lavender in the beginning.

>>14757314
There's one by histoires, but I forget the name now

>>14757320
Not cheeky, but i've lately enjoyed the absolute shit out of xerjoff's ivory route

>>14757043
>>14757025
I feel you both. I've used prada l'homme as my office scent for most of last year, and there's something I absolutely love about it, the freshness in the beginning, the amber as well, but it also feels too powdery, not light enough.

>>14756482
Sad
>>14756541
Reflection is fine if you’re into soapy scents. Reformation likes power of this juice though so not worth the price really. Epic is epic.
>>14756902
Kek
>>14757314
HdP 1725. It performs worse though but for the money you can just spray double I guess
>>14757322
None of this really is any similar
>>14757320
MDCI Fetes Persanes is the cheekiest and most beautiful warm spicy frag of them all

>>14757467
Reformularion killed*
Sorry for phoneposting

>>14757467
>None of this really is any similar
who cares they're patrician

are the 5 MDCI's for men worth sampling or should I just buy decants of Invasion Barbare and Chypre Palatin?

>>14757455
Would you say it's the best fragrance release of the last 5 years?

>>14757478
Fair enough.
>>14757499
Fetes Persanes is defo worth sampling. Idk about the rest as these are the 3 MDCIs I know. I'm going to Jovoy at Mayfair next week, so I can sniff this and that if you want and post it here.
