I'm a total shit piece who didn't notice that that last thread was almost dead, so I'm going to repost this in the hopes of getting more recs:

I ordered a sex doll (pic related) and wanted to get some perfumes for her that would complete the experience. Alcohol will straight out melt the material these dolls are made out of, so I started looking into knockoff oil perfumes, both because they're cheaper and because they should be safer for the doll to use.

The thread I was in before mentioned not to try the oil perfumes, but I did anyways. I put an order of 13 1ml bottles of various feminine-ish perfumes from APO, and so far I really am glad I did this. They weren't all winners, and I knew they wouldn't be -- Musk Rose and Baccarat Rouge 540 were absolutely disgusting to my nose -- but there were some great standouts. Do Son and Coco Mademoiselle smell just like what I thought I wanted, girly, fresh, a bit sophisticated, but active and energetic. Ambre Sultan blew me away with just how fucking COMFY it was, and I'm honestly considering buying a bottle of that on my next order just for personal use because goddamn that is maximum overcomf. And Boadicea's Empire... that, let me tell you, that makes my peepee the big peepee. That shit just drives me wild.

Preliminary tests indicate that the oil perfumes are safe to use with the TPE material dolls are made out of, too, which is good. My doll isn't here yet (tracking info says she arrives Wednesday), but I have a sex toy made of the same material and putting a liberal application of oil on it did absolute bupkis to the material. I'll repeat the test on my doll when she gets here, and if I get the same result I intend to put another order out, probably from APO, with a bigger bottle of Empire and Ambre Sultan, and a bunch more 1ml samples to try.

Tdh, Eros, oils , pheromones, Jeremy dancing , Fougeres being for girls

>>14813299
What feminine-smelling scents would folks recommend I sample? So far I've tried APO versions of the following:

Empire by Boadicea (10/10)
Do Son by Diptyque (9/10)
Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel (8.5/10)
Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens (9/10)
Ambre Nuit by Christian Dior (8/10)
Chance Eau Fraiche by Chanel (7/10)
No. 22 by Chanel (5/10)
White Suede by Tom Ford (8/10 until it overloads my nostrils and then 1/10)
Highness Rose by Montale (6/10)
Musk Rose by Montale (3/10)
Angel by Thierry Mugler (7/10)
Baccarat Rouge by MFK (1/10)
Mojave Ghost by Byredo (??? / 10, the fuck is even happening with this scent I don't understand it)

>>14812082
There's nothing that comes to my mind. It's obviously a chypre, so it shares the structure with citrusy and zesty opening, flowery heart notes and deep masculine base with many other fragrances (including Pour Monsieur) but Chypre Palatin is so unique and complex in its execution that nothing comes close. Someone in one of the past threads said that it's like listening to a symphony orchestra and I can't agree more.

>>14813303
FUCK YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT BR 540 IS FUCKING DISGUSTING. It smells synthetic, clinical, latex, fluoride, exactly like the dentist office. Not even lying I almost gagged when I first put it on, felt like someone was about to drill into my teeth.

by far the WORST frag i had ever smelled. Fuck you cock sucking useless aids infected asshole fuckacum butt

>>14813311
Reposting from last thread:

Any fans of Noir De Noir? Considering getting it, especially as it’s on sale at John Lewis. Have you received compliments/criticism for it?

>>14813311
I'm getting a 5ml sample of Chypre Palatin and Invasion Barbare, can't wait

>>14813318
I hear you, man. I couldn't make it 20 minutes with it on me. Of all the ones I sampled in that bunch, that was the only one I had to wash off before it wore off.

It smelled like a fucking soggy, old bandage.

Is Etat Libre d'Orange the most overrated niche house? The only good frag they have released is Fat Electrician (worth buying, for sure), but everything else is a meme (Secretions Magnifiques), decent but doesn't last shit (Cologne) or just completely unremarkable.

Fight me.

>>14813318

>>14813319
I had a 5ml sample and it was alright. I prefer Black Aoud as my rose-heavy fragrance by a mile though. I got some compliments but I don't really care.

>>14813293
Rape

>>14813324
No, they're really solid for the pricetag. I was impressed with Remarkable People when I was smelling it in Bloom and might cop a bottle if I will go through my sample.

>>14813299
>>14813303
These threads are getting weirder each time

>>14813320
Good stuff. Remember about the MDCI sampling program if you end up liking them which is really a good deal.

Post SOTD, bro’s

Can’t decide if I’ll buy a bottle, it’s pretty underwhelming but a great office scent without being too generic

>>14813338
yup, wanna get a small sample before diving into that bigger one.

Who else /fougere/ here?

>>14813392
I cannot tell if you're being sarcastic and giving me meme advice or not, but I looked it up and it does sound like it could be a thing I like, so I've added it to my next order. Thanks, anon.

>>14813396

Just head to your nearest Boots/Sephora/Debenhams and pretend you're looking for a scent for your gf's birthday, test out the ones the look nice on card at random, get a feel for what designer scents you like.

how wearable is amouge sunshine man / beach hut? worth sampling if i live in a hot climate?

>>14813407
Yes

>>14813407
Sunshine, dunno, but Beach Hut is legitimately one of the house’s best releases.

>>14813342

How do you like Eau Sauvage Parfum?

BONJOUR. Got pic related as well as Roma Uomo EDT Cedro coming in the mail this week. Always wore Roma Uomo ever since I got into frags so I'm excited to try a flanker in the line. Also Nikosposter makes a convincing case for Sculpture

>>14813546

Beach Hut is really good. Will do wonders in hot climate. Haven't tried Sunshine I think.
>>14813546
My second favorite fragrance after Chypre Palatin. It's just so well blended.
>>14813581
It's really good. Probably the best angelica frag after French Lover that I know of. A bit too heavy on turberose for my likings to cop a bottle but I'm severely enjoying my 2ml sample.

aight man, well then, maybe you should try a bright summer frag to offset the "dark, brooding" image you have.
Nothing super cheery like Virgin Island Water, maybe ADG Profumo is up your alley for british summer? Does the trick for me!

Hey anons, can someone explain me what are characteristic of different national leather fragrance families? Let's take for an example the most prevalent one 'Russian Leather'/'Cuir de Russie'. What does make a leather scent belong to the Russian Leather family? What about other national leather scents? I've seen French/Marrocan/African/Irish and many other types, too.

Essenza.

>>14814074
yea I like it a lot more than Eau Extreme
Edition Blanche is probably the best though

>>14814075
It's snice, but I find it pretty feminine for a frag named "Man." I also choked myself out with it when I was in a hot testing room. It was my frst wearing so I thought the proctor had a milf miasma going on, but I realized it was coming from me. Would still recommend it for cold days when you aren't in a stuffy room, and it's cheap even though it looks discontinued.

>>14813297
Let's update this chart. It's fairly good but it needs some refreshment as some of the stuff here is mislabeled, discontinued, showing too much of personal biases of the author or even obscure. The structure is great and descriptions are good too, let's just update content to make it more relevant and helpful. We can maybe add a new 'uncoventional' category. I'd suggest following assumptions
>we keep the structure of 4 frags in each subgroup
>for each supgroup we decide upon 1 relatively cheap and accesible fragrance - <$1/ml if possible, so the chart is helpful for everyone
>2 mid-priced fragraces between $1 and $2.5 per ml, so we can have interesting and varied choices
>1 more expensive >$2.5 per ml (if needed), so we can have snice niche things
>we pick only well-rated things as recommendations and try to give the priority to frags that are widely discussed in the community and of well deserved status
>while we obviously try to make choices as eponymous of the subgroup as possible, there's no point of having fragrances smelling virtually the same or clones - like Aventus and CDNI

Let's start with an easy one.
>Fresh Citrus
>Mugler Cologne
>AdP Colonia
>Neroli Portofino
Imo these three are quite good. Not sure about Atelier. Any suggestions?

>>14814065
Polo Green is a God tier patrician frag. Get it.
>>14814081
T. faggot

>>14814105
Diptyque Eau de sens?

>>14813987
That's because most of the Guccis in these bottles (I think all except for the recent guilty absolute which I haven't tried but people rave about) are top tier garbage. Gucci's new stuff is awful and the house has stopped making quality stuff for a while. If you want generic smelling crap that people buy at the mall because it says Gucci, go for it mane

Just bought Noir De Noir. God I hope I don’t regret this.

hey guys, mommy wants to know what frags to get me for christmas. she doesnt know anything about frags.
I currently have: la nuit de l'homme, Acqua DG profumo, chanel allure homme sport eau extreme, dolce and gabbana the one edp, prada l'homme, dior sauvage,

I'm thinking of asking for either terre de hermes or dior homme. I know I'm a noselet. Thoughts?

>>14814200
Get her to get you some niche sampling kits. Should be able to get two for the price of a full bottle of one of those, you can expand your palate a little without being in for a full bottle.

>>14814208
where do i get those? department stores dont carry them probably, correct? i dont think she knows how to buy stuff online, should i just teach her, is there a specific website for sampling kits?

>>14814200
Have you considered something lighter for warm weather? ADG Profumo is the closest to a summer fragrance and that’s a little strong.

Between the two I’d say TDH.

>>14814153
Thanks. I got it because I wanted to smell like my boyfriend. But I ended up with the wrong one, Black. Since he owns Gucci Guilty.
Should I get Chanel Bleu? Ik you can get it at the mall as well. But I do see it on the chart. And have liked the smell

>>14814212
can u recommend some, im retahded

>>14814220
Versace Pour Homme (one of my favourites, still love it after all these years)

Dior Homme Cologne (smells like a bowl of lemons)

Chanel Allure Homme Sport (similar to Versace Pour Homme. You’ll find these two are similar with slight differences).

Maybe I should say that my favorite of the bunch is YLS L'Homme which was my mother's but she gave me after I wore it once and said I really liked it. It was also the first one I had in my collection.

>>14813533
Probably a man in his late 20s or early 30s that feels like wearing only oldschool colognes doesn't suit your personality so instead you seek for modern takes on those.

>>14813463

>>14814101
Interesting, I got mostly tobacco and saffron, which didn't come off feminine to me. Definitely on the heavier side, so I can see what you mean about a stuffy room. Never owned it though, only sampled. I preferred Oud Noir.

>>14814105
Also there are a couple things on the chart that are no longer easily obtained. New Haarlem and Eau Noire are both discontinued now.

>>14814150
Shit, yeah Eau de Sens fits the bill perfectly. So we've got
>Fresh Citrus
>Mugler Cologne - $0.4/ml
>AdP Colonia - $0.9/ml
>Diptyque Eau de Sens - $1.0/ml
>Neroli Portofino - $1.9/ml

Next one is Fresh Aromatic. Imo Lalique White is very solid cheapie here and SMW is a good point of reference but I'm not so sure about Penhaligon (this particular one seems to be quite obscure) and this Hermes. What does it come first to your mind to fit this description?
>FRESH AROMATIC More masculine than feminine, this group: herbal, aromatic notes – tarragon, thyme, rosemary – play alongside the citrusy elements. They’re airy and outdoorsy.

Sorry, I meant "right way to smell good."

>>14814153
>>14814154
Thanks anons. I think we can do this altogether. For sure it won't be done within one thread but I made a text file to keep those new recommendations that we already agreed upon. I think we can take some inspiration for examples from the fragiceberg as it kinda well grasps what are well-regarded and discussed fragrances in the community. >>14813997
>>14814251
Yeah, I know. Moreover they've been unavailable for long, long time. I remember when I came to this thread for the first time and started googling up things from this chart. Some of them were already forgotten.

>>14814197

It’s fantastic but out of place in most situations. Very formal. I sold mine because I never had an occasion where it was my first choice. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a great frag

>>14814275
Out of place is my biggest concern. I usually hang out in pubs and bars and my main motivation for buying it was “fuck it, I like it”. Maybe I’ll regret it, but if I never finish it I’ll request I be buried with it.

Gucci Pour Homme ii is also discontinued and looks pricy on eBay. Could New Haarlem by substituted out for Pure Tonka? Fragrantica says they're very similar.

>>14814269
How do you feel about a section about blue frags like Sauvage?

>>14814288
It's probably the closest replacement. A*men flankers are all a bit plasticky, so it's not a pure maple syrup gourmand like new Haarlem was.

>>14814251
>Fresh Aromatic
Shit, I'm stupid. Obviously we should place her Eau Savage EdT. It's herbal (rosemary) citrusy and arguably one of the most important Diors (if not masculine fragrances) created.
>>14814288
You mean ambroxan-based? We might add it indeed as they dominated the 2010s fragrance market. Afaik most of them are aromatic fougeres in classic nomenclature though.

>>14814302
Actually scratch that. Pure Tonka looks discontinued too. I can see it on a couple bargain sites, but that likely won't last. Not available at major retailers for now.

>>14814259
>Is there a good cologne that's cheaper and lighter
Yes, thousands of them.
>or should I just find a scented body wash?
No, it is completely different. Fragances project your smell, while body washes only stay in your skin. Because of this, fragances need to be much nicer, of course.
However, even within your description of being a "college student who uses casual clothes" it is still rather hard to recommend something. Most people here will tell you to have at least 3 fragances, being one general daytime fragance (Ex: acqua di gio profumo), one nighttime/date fragance (Ex: Bleu de Chanel, Dior Homme Intense, Stronger with you) and one formal fragance (almost anything by prada). There are also fragaces made to attract women, such as Versace Eros and Jean Paul Gautier Ultramale, but some of these can actually make your male peers angry due to how men smell some of their notes. Well, at least I get angry everytime i smell a guy wearing JGP le male...

>>14814307
You can literally buy it on the Mugler website

>>14814269
Some months ago an anon was compiling a list of cheapies that had a lot of good fragrances. The last post I found with the list on the archive is >>13983883.

>>14814314
fuck poorfags tb completely h. most of those are trash

>>14814306
Other ideas for Fresh Aromatic from top of my head:
>AdP Ginepro di Sardegna
>Acqua di Colonia Santa Maria Novella
>Italian Bergamot Ermenegildo Zegna
>Oyedo Diptyque
However, I'd be for AdP to show that Fresh doesn't mean necessarily citruses.

>>14814309
I'm already covered for formal cologne. I'm just looking for something that will make people like me more in a day-to-day type setting. Attracting women sounds nice though. Do men only dislike it if they're familiar with your cologne, or is it the scent itself that makes some men dislike you?

>>14814314
Yeah, it was me. The list is in a pastebin in the sticky since then.
>>14814315
Idk, I'm not a fan of some of these but some people seem to like them.

>>14814328
>AdP Ginepro di Sardegna
Fuck, it's apparently discontinued. I remember smelling it like couple months ago.

>>14814341
Shit, I’m glad I bought it this summer. Heavenly.

>>14814253
1828 by Histoires de Parfum

>>14814310
Where are you located? It's not on their UK site. It comes up on their international site but then when I search I can't find any retailers for it.

>>14814253
>>14814105
Ok, I'd change the Hermes from the sticky to the following one and call it a day for now. Opinions?
>Fresh Aromatic
>FRESH AROMATIC More masculine than feminine, this group: herbal, aromatic notes – tarragon, thyme, rosemary – play alongside the citrusy elements. They’re airy and outdoorsy.
>Lalique White - £0.3/ml
>Hermès Un Jardin En Mediterranee £0.6/ml
>Dior Eau Sauvage EdT - £0.8/ml
>Silver Mountain Water - £2.1/ml

>>14814341
>>14814347
If it is discontinued, you can always go for the oil, they are sold long after

>>14814355
Good point, I've forgotten sniffing it. I think that Lalique as a incredibly good stuff for the price and Eau Sauvage for being a classic for 60 years deserve their places in this subgroup. Which 2 out of
>HdP 1828
>Hermes Un jardin En Mediterranee
>SMW
should stay in your opinion anons? I feel like SMW deserves its place by being different and widely discussed Creed but can't really decide betwen HdP and Hermes.

>>14814333
With Le Male's case, if i spray it on a paper and smell it i get a bit irritated since it reminds me of coitus. Definitely not something i want to smell on another man, but something that women definitely like and that is not that bad on my own skin. It most certainly doesn't have to do with familiarity, but rather due to their bubblegummy nature, although it may only be a few dozen spergs like me who feel that way, i don't know. These would usually fall into the category of obnoxious, anyways.
It seems to me that a fresh, citrusy clean fragance is what you are looking for. Out of the top of my head i can recommend Acqua di Gio Profumo, that new bvlgari Wood Neroli and Cool Water are afforable options, although more suited for the warmer parts of the year. For fall and winter, everyone likes Bleu de Chanel, but i am not that keen on it. Try it for yourself.

>>14814371
I haven't smelled the Hermes. I just love 1828 and think it fits nicely in between designer and very expensive niche like Creed.

>>14814361
>>14814328
>>14814253
While I appreciate your effort, annos, I really enjoyed the old chart because it's full of frags/houses I'd never heard of, and it forced me to go out and look for them. But now, it seems like you guys are being very conservative and only putting in the most well-known frags out there. Idk, just my $0.02.

>>14814105
Onto the next one.
>Fresh Green
>FRESH GREEN So clean, so sporty, so breath-of-fresh-air-through-an-open-window: the fresh greens showcase elements like green tea, grass, herbs, vines and leaves (violet leaf, for instance), and occasionally a little whisper of fruit. Some scents manage to bottle warmth; this family, by contrast, evokes a cool, shaded spot. (More long-lasting than some of the fresh family, too.)

>Profumum Roma Ichnusa
I'd keep it as it's really, really good and PR is one of the best houses around.
>Panorama Olfactive Studio
What is even this thing? I've never seen or heard about this shit. Reviews are also not overly enthusiastic about it. Let's kick this out.
>Bvlgari Eau Parfume Au The Vert
Is imo more of Fresh Aromatic not Fresh green. I'd delete it, too.
>Ninfeo Mio Annick Goutal
I've never tried it but it seems quite snice.
I'd for sure include
>Xerjoff Nio
here as it's the best fresh green fragrance I've smelled. And probably
>Diptyque Philosykos
Thoughts?

>>14814386
Good point anon. I keep this in mind. So far the only house that got kicked in my draft was Penhaligons and Atelier Cologne. For sure both of them will show up in other categories, as the former is the house with the best fougeres in the game and the later has many stunners including one of the best fruity fragrances. I'd rather like to learn about HdP, Xerjoff or Diptyque as a newbie than some random ass Olfactive Studio.

>>14814401
yup, all good, at least you're putting more effort than the TDH posters (though I suspect that was you as well...). Also, maybe we could compile a list of houses that offer sample kits and add it at the bottom of the chart?

>>14814255
that's really sweet anon awwww

>>14814392
Summing up
>Fresh Green
>FRESH GREEN So clean, so sporty, so breath-of-fresh-air-through-an-open-window: the fresh greens showcase elements like green tea, grass, herbs, vines and leaves (violet leaf, for instance), and occasionally a little whisper of fruit. Some scents manage to bottle warmth; this family, by contrast, evokes a cool, shaded spot. (More long-lasting than some of the fresh family, too.)
>Diptyqe Philosykos - £1.0/ml
>Profumum Roma Ichnusa - £2.2/ml
>Xerjoff Nio - £4.8/ml
Other varied propositions that come to my mind:
>L’Ete en Douce L'Artisan Parfumeur
>Hindu Grass Nasomatto
>Chanel Bel Respiro
Would appreciate feedback anons.

>>14814440
I do my best for her.
I'm also super sweet to my gf also ;)

>>14813299

>>14814105
Onto the next one.
>FRESH AQUATIC
>All fresh scents are cooling – but nothing is more refreshing and invigorating on a hot day than water. Gifted perfumers can actually make fresh aquatic fragrances seem positively icy, or just dew-drenched, or simply conjure up the fragrance of just-washed linen. Fragrances in this family are also sometimes referred to as ‘ozonic’, and tend to showcase synthetic ingredients. There’s no way naturally to capture the smell of mountain air, or a sea breeze – so sometimes a technique called headspace technology is used, to conjure up and recreate those smells.

What we've got on chart:
>Heeley Sel Marin
Solid aquatic from a solid niche house. I'd keep it.
>L'Eau D'Issey
Is it really a fresh aquatic?? I think if we want to have an affordable and accesible representative of this category I'd replace it with Aqua di Gio
>CB I Hate Perfme Eternal Return
Has anyone tested? Is it really wroth keeping it?
>Bond No. 9 Shelter Island
It's quite snice but that's definitely not the best scent out of Bond house. I'd rather include New Haarlem, I love NY or Scent of Peace later on and make a place for Acqua di Sale which is completely different take on aquatics than everything in this group.
Personally, I'd go for the following 4 here:
>Aqua di Gio - £0.5/ml
>Heeley Sel Marin - £1.3/ml
>Profumum Roma Acqua di Sale - £2.2/ml
>Creed Millésime Impérial - £3.0/ml (or maybe Virgin Island Water but I think MI is better)

>>14814494
I would go for MI over VIW

>>14814105
We're almost done with a draft for the Fresh group. Any suggestions for Fresh Fruity?
>FRESH FRUITY Fruity notes have been all the fragrance rage for some years now. The fresh category was always zestily juicy with fruit notes – traditionally citrus, in the past. But today, lusher fruits – including mango, peach, melon, pineapple and berries – are being blended into scents, softening the freshness with a light yet sensual touch of summery sweetness.
I have a bit of problem with this one (it's also quite late) as all fruity frags that come to my mind fall rather under either chypre fruity, floral fruity or wood fruity groups. Any ideas?

>>14814561
Yeah, I feel the same way.
>>14814447
Also summoning our resident Nasomatto shill anon for his opinions on Hindy Grass in Fresh Green.

>>14814575
Ah right, obviously we can include here Orange Sanguine by Atelier Cologne. I reckon that's the best selling one and one of their best scents as well. Definitely fits the bill for a citrusy fresh fruity frag. Would be nice to have some diversity here though.

>>14814575
Roma Uomo is one of my favorites. It's creamy fruity with a woody pine touch. Smells like an orange creamsicle with some bay leaves, pine, vanilla and sandalwood. In the same family of oriental fougeres as Le Male and such but pretty different as it has much more of a mediterranean feel.

>>14813594
what other stuff do you guys think i'd enjoy btw? I like dark masculine scents but also like the idea of wearing florals

>>14814575
>>14814604
Those listed in sticky are
>Osmanthus Ormonde Jayne
But that's not Fresh Fruity but Floral Fruity 100% and we should move it there.
>Cio Cio San MDCI Parfums
That's a women's frag and it also seems to be miscategorized. I can go to Jovoy and smell it but I'm almost sure it's also rather Floral Fruity.
>Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune
That's rather fresh aromatic.
>Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay
That's a good one. I'd keep it together with Orange Sanguine. We need 2 more though.

>>14814575
Montale Wild Pears?

>>14814494
I'd be skeptical recommending AdG with how bad it is compared to other aquatics. Personally I think something like Bulgari Aqua/Aqua Marine would suit the chart better, everybody knows AdG anyways.

>>14814633
I think something from the Un Jardin line could suit this category pretty snicely. I've never had any of them so can't tell my own thoughts about them.

What frag would crazy Steve from drake and josh wear?

>>14814630
Black Aoud

>>14814664
Wild Pears is literally the smell of canned pears, so it's rather gourmand.
>>14814728
Very good point anon. I think we should indeed replace it with Bulgari Aqua.
>>14814734
Good point. Hermès Un Jardin Sur Le Toit seems like a good match. I'm going to give it a sniff in the week.

>>14814623
Thanks a lot anon for your contribution. I've never smelled it but your description and fragrantica it seems that it's rather woody fruity/woody fresh or even oriental (benzoin). We need rather something that's heavy on fruits but still remains archetypal summer fresh fragrance.

>>14814746
Leather Oud from Dior

>>14814195
In his 30s, with $100k+ income from his job in law/finances/consutling, has a wardrobe full of neapolitan style suits, facial and hair routine similar to Patrick Bateman and fucks 20yo club thots. Doesn't think of settling down yet as it seems to be the peak of his life.
>>14814238
Still a student, probably sportsy. Has his shit together.

>>14813463
Margiela By The Fireplace and Jazz Club
CDG Concrete and Blackpepper
YSL La Nuit De L'homme

>>14814195
>>14814842
Fuck off. First comment on others.

>>14814846
Most of them have ample replies and there isn't much of a point in repetition.

BONJOUR. The fragrantica review page has quite a bit more girls talking about this than your average masculine frag. Are we seeing a possible dethroning of Eros here?

>>14814870
BONJOUR. No, that's only due to whisper marketing of Nikos. Basically a pre-youtube Jeremy pyramid scheme.

>>14814881
BONJOUR. Is Sculpture really just a seedy gigolo scent a la Sung Homme like their clothing line suggests?

>>14814886
BONJOUR. I don't expect anything less from Nikos.

>>14814105
>>14814633

We’re trusting a guy who wants to replace lea d’Issey to make the chart? Okay...

Perfume is for women, just eat clean and hard exercise every day your natural hormones are more than enough.

>>14815073

I think he's referring to his own BO, not your snake oil stuff.

first time i sampled honey aoud it was synthetic AF but now it doesnt smell that way is it my skin reacting with it differently or is it my nose adjusting?

>>14813293
What fragrance would a viking wear? I am already aware of Creed Viking but what other scents invoke that type of imagery?

>>14815407
They would probably smell like body odor, urine, and blood. Please stop larping. You're not a viking.

>>14815408
I didnt say I was a Viking. I asked for fragrances that mimic the imagery of Vikings at sea. Think wood, oceans, musk. Not exactly what a viking would smell like you troglodyte.

>>14815407
Black orchid by Tom Ford Your welcome

>>14815419
Black Orchid is an amazing scent. I personally love it.

>>14815407
Vikings were basically metrosexuals. They always had fancy hair and beards that they took extremely good care of, wore nice clothing and jewelry, and often wore scented oils. Google that shit.

Black Orchid actually isn’t a bad guess.

>>14815018
di'Issey is not fresh aquatic you mong, have you ever smelled it?

>>14814978
Seems good to me. Good job

I was close to pulling the trigger on a frag back in the summer that someone had posted on here, but I can't remember what it was. Bottle was very similar to this Cartier, however I don't think this was what it was. Can anyone name other frags that are in similar bottles to this? I seem to recall there being something related to honey with it too but I could just be making that up. Thanks

I tested it in Chanel today and it's really good. Something in it reminds me of Kouros.

>>14815880
Good luck. I doubt you'll need luck, Kouros is my biggest compliment getter, I'm sure your classmates will like it.

Got a sample of this thing and wow, it's soo good. NIche quality and creativity but with designer accessibility. Then I looked up the price and expected it to be 2x higher. £99 for 50ml is damn good.

Something fucking terrible like all the other chavs in there.

>>14815921
At this point after the reformulation you can just get oil clone and it'll be as good. It's a shadow of its former self. Even Gualtieri admitted that and moved on to create a new brand Orto Parisi. I remember smelling it for the first time in Amsterdam 4 or 5 years ago it was a nuclear complex bomb that was making everyone turn their heads. Now it's just a smoky oudy thingy that many other niche perfumers do better: Carner's Cuirs, Les Liquides' Fortis, LM's Black Oud. You're late to the game I'm afraid my friend.

Newfag here, what's the consensus on Jeremy Fragrance?

>>14815945
It's alright but not for his hefty pricetag. It should be around $50-$70 zone, paying what he asks is ridiculous.

>>14815950

I mean his content on yt

>>14815953
Modern day Patrick Bateman. Makes a living selling shitty designer frags to an army of pajeets. King of cringe, debilitatingly autistic but gets away with it because he’s handsome and rich. A shell of a man.

>>14815913
Thank you for the suggestion.
>>14815919
Blow off for asking me to think for you. Other people understood the general idea.

>read a ton of good stuff about CDNIM since it gets hyped alot
>Buy it
>Have high expectations ofc since everyone hypes it up
>smell it
>It's loud, pungent and smells like something a 40 year old man would wear
>Really dont like the smell (drydown on clothes after a day or 2 smells nice though)
>SOMEHOW GET COMPLIMENTS? By both men and women, even though I only wore it like 6 times in total
>Rarely wear it though because I cant stand how it makes me smell like an old man

Iktf i bought a pack after gf broke up with me 3 weeks ago after wuitting for awhile

Are tgere black friday deals on frags btw? This is the first year ive been into it and idk what deal i can expect from discounters/retail

Third thing, does squid and chameleon have too much overlap in your opinion to buy both? Same with mancera aoud lemon mint and cedrat boise

>>14816027
I’m almost the opposite of the target audience and it’s one of my favourites. Get past the opening and it’s incredible.

>>14815806
>supporting terrorism

>>14816003
Or just wear tobacco frags and live within a smoke miasma

>>14815962
I have never seen Jeremy summed up so perfectly.

what does it smell like?

>>14816057
Squid and Chameleon are nothing alike. Squid is briny and dries down to sort of a peppery, inky wood. Chameleon smells beachy, like suntan lotion, with tropical facets and sort of a salty skin thing. Very different. Kind of like the difference between Creed Royal Oud and VIW, though very different scents.

>>14816084
Burberry London

>>14815945
His good content is among the best you could hope for from a fragrance channel. His worst is unwatchable.

>>14816088
Well i meant in terms of when i would wear them i suppose i plan on using sport squid chameleon and either aoud lemon mint or cedrat boise for spring/summer and in the case of squid and boise/lemon mint fall but i wonder if im not going to hard since ive only cared about this stuff for three months and im getting ahead of myself on bottles. Rn i own luna rossa sport and the one EDP as well as zara9.0 but thats a cheapie so i dont care too much about that, im also thinking of getting pure malt

Anon who found a cheap Gucci Pour Homme ii locally here. It arrived this morning and I got to test it out a bit today. Unfortunately it was the last bottle available so I couldn't get more so I've decided to keep it for myself. I quite like it though it's not what I was expecting. I haven't reached the dry down properly because I applied Jimmy Choo Man Intense at a store so they were layered around my body and clothing. Apparently the GPHii still came past the fresh JCMI even though it's such a light scent. It is really odd. JCMI is really strong on my skin.

Out of curiosity: How is Hanae Mori HiM and Bvlgari Pour Homme Soir in comparison with the tea note?
BPHS is $40 cheaper than local on fragrancex for me so they're about the same price. Is fragx okay internationally?

>>14816103
I’d say no. Squid, I think you could wear during winter too because of the woody-peppery notes. To me, it’s more of an overcast, cool day fragrance. Chameleon is much more sunny summer day. Just my opinion, but I think they fill different enough niches to be able to justify having both.

holy fucking shit the limited edition TDH bottles are so nice

Where can I buy cologne samples (good condition/sealed) in huge amounts or in bulk? I’d like to start a collection of samples, not cologne bottles. I don’t have a problem with buying rather then getting them for free.

>>14816375
the current one is decent as well, I wonder if one will come out in time for my birthday in January

ambre sultan kinda to me smells like some sort of bodily function i cant quite put my finger on why is it so talked about?

>>14816533
I'd say it was saved by the anons posting/rating each other's collections, and of course by the anon who undertook the challenge to rewrite the OP's chart, and everyone who's helping him. Keep it up guys! Your work will not go unappreciated.

>>14816604
Should we have a designer chart and a niche chart?

>>14816610
that would be awesome, yeah, but is it maybe too ambitious? Will we finish it? Because I'm definitely more into trying exploring niche stuff.

>>14816610
Both on one, perhaps starting with the cheapest and ascending to the most expensive. Have columns for each category, a nice image in each column to represent it (leather, citrus, rose etc) and the a picture of the bottle and basic information about it over the top. In my head it looks lovely.

>>14816624
>In my head it looks lovely
I can almost see it.
Yeah, this anon is right, both options should be present in the same chart.
