So what are you wearing for new year's eve, anons?

Incredibly sick & tired of frag and trad faggotry

Watch fragrance reviews on youtube, they are muddy ugly people. And Jeremy looks creepy as fuck with those nasolabial folds and psyhcopathic vibes

I smelled Kouros for the first time at the store today.

What the fuck was that? Awful. How is that attractive I'll never understand. Only German-type girls who are autists and like to be peed on would like that smell.

>>14896421
no one in real life actually finds it attractive, only edgy hipsters in this thread

>>14896421
>German-type girls

Had my sis smell some of my decants.
She hated Guerlain Vetiver, Boss Night, LNDH, 1 Million cologne, Gucci Guilty Intense and Eau Sauvage Parfum.
She liked CDG Black Pepper though kek

I do, he's based as fuck. Found out about a ton of great fougdaddy frags from him.

What does /frag/ think about Montale Aoud Leather? I’m torn between that and Dark Aoud for my next cop. Got a sampler recently and really dug those two

Contrary to the view held by conventional wisdom, taste in perfume isn’t “subjective”. As in most other things, judging the merits of a scent requires an education (by which I mean invested effort, rigour, and experience). Crap is crap: there isn’t anything subjective about THAT...and the current ‘scentscape’ is mostly rubbish — an aesthetic wasteland. ADDENDUM: Toward the end of his nearly seventy-year career in perfumery, Edmond Roudnitska intimated that perfumers themselves ought to be the custodians of their artistry: it is THEY who must take it upon themselves to preserve the standards of their craft, to assure that accountants and marketing departments do not triumph at all costs over the integrity of the end-product, and above all, to educate consumers on the aesthetics and grammar of perfume. Let’s not have any illusions: corporate perfumery is Big Business, no doubt. As in all commercial enterprises, the bottom line is king; but it doesn’t all have to be utterly shameless chicanery. After all, profitability, pride in one’s product, and respect for the consumer don’t have to be mutually exclusive. As to the act itself, given the standards of the release in question, it was IMHO an entirely sensible reaction

Any cheap comfy winter gems? I am aware only of Lalique Encre Noire, going to try that one tomorrow.

>>14896421
You dont smell Kouros in a store you fucking retard. You put 2-3 sprays on yourself and go for a +12h olfactory ride

>>14896628
Why the fuck would I torture myself like that? I don't hate myself anymore you moron

>>14896342
one spray of everything in my collection

>>14896635
Cause you got scared of the opening that lasts an hour so you never smelled Kouros

has anyone tried this before? i want it but ive never purchased a designer cologne before, nor have i smelled it

>>14896650
It is very nice. https://youtu.be/rfqnS8ZsD0Y

Lads this Oud Wood clone oil I got from ebay is unironically good. The Millesime Imperial one sucks ass though.

Rive Gauche is perfect for rainy days like this.

I had plans for New Years, then one of my buddies had to go out of town for a family emergency and the other got the flu, so now I got nothing and probably won’t be able to find anything worthwhile to do this close to the day. Shit sux. Guess I’ll just stay home and watch movies or something.

>>14896760

>>14896427
>he has to smell like human waste for 3 hours to smell good
What did kourosfags mean by this?

>>14896765
Honestly, I fucking hate New Years. Yeah, let’s pay a bunch of money to go to a bar, except there won’t be any seats since they’re all reserved, your food takes an hour to get to you, the servers are all pissy because they’re busy and the place is full of drunk idiots, and at the end of the night, you get a free shitty watered-down shot, then you get to pile into a bus with a bunch of dumbasses at 3:00. It’s never been a good experience. Only time it’s ever good is if you have a party or something to go to with friends, which isn’t happening anymore.

So fuck it, movie night in.

Is buying a 2ml sample on eBay from Taiwan for 4€/$ legit? I'm too autistic to get samples at a store for free. Specifically TdH EdT and YSL Nuit Homme.

>>14896377
Good, fuck that Iris powder bomb

>>14896770
Not him, but if you don't find the opening of Kouros to be mesmerizing and sublimely pleasant than you might be a lower life form, possibly a bugman or a manzer.

>>14896789
Look for shipping from the us, or whoever you’re from

>>14896776
never experienced any of that but I can imagine it very well, hehe

Was gonna get Chanel Cuir de Russe and Sycamore but im scared to try the new edp formulation which everyone is complaining about

>>14896380
You guys think I'm memeing or something but I've tried Eros at Sephora for first time and I didn't find anything special about it but somewhat generic

>>14896982
its shit. Smells generic and something like a 14 year old teenager would wear to his first house party.

>>14896374
>>14896377
I love how it's being review bombed at fragrantica but I seriously didn't understand the purpose reformulating it

>>14896995
Dior has been doing this shit nonstop the past 5 years. Changing all their scents to mass appealing generic garbage. They did it to their entire niche line, to DHS, and now to the rest of the DH line.

>>14896977
>Chanel Cuir de Russe

I seriously didn't know there was leather fragrance for women I thought women only liked gourmand and floral

i s s e y

>>14896999
Ya it was designed as a leather fragrance for a woman but it works better on a man still. It takes a certain kind of woman to pull it off these days. From my knowledge it was based on those classy cigarette smoking french girls from the 1920s. Apparently the new formulation tones down the leather accord which made this fragrance unique and interesting.

>>14897014
great summer scent.

>>14897015
>Apparently the new formulation tones down the leather accord which made this fragrance unique and interesting.

This reminds me isn't No. 5 is a hundred year old frag? Was that too been reformulated over the decades or so?

>>14897025
ya i think all their exclusifs have been reformulated to be less "unique" and more mainstream.

>>14897017
call me a nutcase but I like wearing crisp aquatic scents in the wintertime, or even a minty fougère. It just feels fitting, especially on a really icy or snowy day

>>14897033
That would be interesting if they release the original formulation for the 100 year anniversary if they even have it in their archives

>>14897038
Ya I like wearing fresh summer scents like cedrat boise from mancera in the winter but only when i'm clean shaven . Just gives off clean vibes but when I got a full bearded and i feel rugged i stick to my winter gourmand frags

>>14896594
Snicebomb Extreme I thought it would be a typical dude bro fragrance but it's actually good

>>14896664
Would anyone tell why TDH marketed as a orange frag when it's mostly vetiver? The orange just stays for couple of minutes

now im tempting myself to buy the 200 mls of cuir de russe and sycamore just to test the new formulations myself. sheeeeiitttttttttttt

>>14897056
Every frag is marketed for their opening

>>14896960
have you smelled leather oud before? it's pretty skanky so i hope you're not blind buying. probably dior's best from the prive line but still not for everybody.

>>14897084
total blind buy

>>14897085
kek bless your heart anon, and enjoy. if you end up liking it, you're gonna love it after a few wearings. one of my top 5s of all time.

>>14897090
awesome can't wait.

noob here, where do you spray your fragrances at and how much do you apply?

just blind bought bleu de chanel EDP. what am I in for bros?

>>14897142
depends on fragrance each has different potency.
2 sprays on collar bone 1 back of neck and 2 on both wrists and maybe one on chest for a standard designer fragrance. Try to apply about 30 min before going out.

>>14897147
jesus christ don't tell people who are new to do this because when they end up covering themselves in 6 close sprays of whatever meme EDP jeremy is pushing they'll gas people out of the fucking room

>>14896380

>>14897153
ya dun good

>>14897142
I keep it light. 1 on the collarbone 1 on back of neck. then again i dont wear cologne to fish for compliments so

>>14897172
its just to smell it yourself throughout the day? if so, ive heard that you eventually get used to the smell after a while and you wont be able to appreciate the scent as much (if at all anymore)

>>14897153
what are you, some poorfag?

as a /biz/ness man would it be smart to buy multiple dior hommes and resell in a couple years?

>>14897222
>shopping bag

>>14897224
theyre still going to make the original you retards quit freaking out
>>14897228
sycamore sounds nice, but i want to try boy

>>14897224
Everyone hates the iris. No one is going to miss it I’m actually glad it’s being reformulated. Every girl who smelled DHP said it smelled like a cosmetic bag. I am a very open minded niche fag so when I say iris is a gay note that 95% of the time makes a frag worse I’m being sincere. DHP was so fucking good but you just can’t unsee the cosmetics smell. If they do a DHP without the iris I’ll jizz myself. It had the potential to be the best designer frag I’ve ever smelled. Sensationally good if the iris didn’t fagify it

>>14897180
I cycle through about 10 different scents so I never get too used to one in particular.

>>14897247
DH is probably the most beloved line in the community and the majority will miss the iris.

feels good to be le homme

>>14897224
Sure. Worked out well for the based retard who tried to flip a bottle of Norne.

>>14897247
its fragrantica ratings say otherwise

new to all this
can you guys recommend me something casual that smells woody and tobacco-esque that lasts around 6 hours and wouldn't fill a room?

>>14897247
I don't get why the fuck they got rid of the cacao

50mL bottle of L'Homme Ideal cologne came in, wasn't a fan of the EDT or Intense but the cologne is a ripper, might try and cop a 100mL bottle before it disappears.

>>14896650
it's shit. if you're looking for a smoke-centered demi-niche, go with Profumum Roma Arso.

>>14896628
That's a guy isn't it?

>>14896398

dude...the OG silver stem by Polge is made in 2005.

>>14896409
fuck the mods for banning me in that thread for calling out that furry for stepping out of line

>>14896466
surprised she disliked LNDH, do you have one of the more recent reformulations or the holy grail 09 first formulation?

>>14896482
Looks like a frog...basically Pepe in real life

>>14896960
Do not buy Leather Oud from Dior - try to find a pre-2018 version which shouldn’t be complicated. Maison versions all watered down AF.

>>14897747
i've heard about it being reformulated and all but desu, the current formulation is still potent as fuck. and if the original is more animalic than my 2019 bottle, then i wouldn't be so sure i could even handle it as the one i have now barely crosses the line into wearability.

>>14897401
I’ve tried Arso two weeks ago in Rome: it is interesting in the first 5 minutes but then you understand that nothing more will ever happen with the scent, that you’ve got everything from it in the first 5 minutes and that is all. It is a drone perfume, definitely not for everyone.

>>14896517
the truth is amateurs should start shutting up, pros should be the ones really talking. Amateurs who cannot identify linalool from limonene, fragrance accords, and what ambroxan actually smells like have no business in thinking their opinion matters. No difference from listening to a elementary school student rambling about why they like their macaroni and cheese.

>>14897161
This is the cringiest post I've seen all month. Congratulations.

>>14897751
Have you checked your batch code? There were 3 iterations: original (brutal), 2014-2018 (civilized) and Maison (watered).

>>14897269
the community can suck a dick because they like the trash recreation, most of the posters don't even know Dior Homme was created in 2005 by Olivier Polge that smelled significantly different from Francois Demachy's recreation start in 2011

>>14897269
Btw, the 5 star rating Luca Turin gave to Dior Home is for the Olivier Polge version. Everyone that jumped on afterwards either has shit taste, or is hopping on the bandwagon because established perfume authorities have deemed Dior Homme as a landmark creation.

Has anyone here tried the new Davidoff?

I got into frags in 2017 and I got a sample off ebay as one of the first so I'm guessing it could be a '16 batch?

You mean there aren't any girls on /frag/? :(

>>14898343
no!

>>14898279
only real way is to buy oils of specific scents they add into fragrances and smell the different herbs and spices they also add . Do that for a few months till you are able to differentiate each scent blindfolded.

>>14898279
how is squid? Might get it in the summer.

>>14898296
what do you mean?

>>14898183
ya Burberry london is a good sweet tobacco cinnamon christmas tree type frag or you can get Serge Lutens Chergui which is also a good woody tobacco scent which wont break the bank.

>>14898373
oh, it's called London

>>14897847
Depends on what dressing "casually" means. If it means dressing in sweatpants and hoody I'd say no.
I am 25, dress business casual (ish) , and use the edt once or twice a week. I feel really well wearing it. If you'd walk around worried the smell is too bold or dated, then you're prob bretter off wearing something else.

Hello friends
Does philosykos smell nice? EDP, more specifically
I'm tempted to buy a second-hand offer and there are no Diptyque counters or decant sellers in my country, so i'll have to go in blind

>>14898587
Only tried shock myself so can't speak to the other two.

>>14898590
what do you usually wear it with?
jeans and button up? casual suit?

>>14898370
Squid is great i highly reccomend sampling it i would wear it everyday if i were rich but as of right now i just alternate between my samples of honey aoud and aoud lemon mint unless im i know im going to be around friends or a special event def on of the most wearable zoologist frags imo

>>14898594
It's very much a "22 year old at a nightclub wearing one of those weird shiny shirts from H&M and browsing ladbible for offensive chat up lines on his phone before doing too many shots and going home alone anyway" scents.

>>14898603
oh, so it's a hookup scent then

>>14898607
Yes but only for the kinds of girls you'd wear three condoms at the same time with.

>>14898600
good thing i got the complete sample set coming in the mail today

Just ordered a whole bunch of samples recently and these are my thoughts in case people are wondering about the same fragrances.


Roma Profumum Dulcis in Fumde
>Smells like a freshly-peeled clementine and vanilla, love how simple and direct this is. Probably my favorite from this batch, I think I will order the Travel Spray size of this one to test it out further.

MEMO Winter Palace
>I was very disappointed with how little I liked this one considering the hype I had. I read a lot of good things, but it seems like such a tame and balanced scent. Has the most generic drydown I have smelled but the smoky tea scent is cool. I cannot see myself spending 300 dollars on this.

Zoologist Bee
>Another very direct and simple fragrance, this shit literally just smells like honey. That's it, if you like honey and gourmands this is for you. Very sweet and floral.

Other stuff I sampled: Zoologist Trex, MEMO African Leather, Slumberhouse Norne, and Naomi Goodsir Or du Serail.

Feel free to ask any questions about my thoughts or if you have any recommendations for me personally.

>>14898630
How’s norne? Now that it’s being mass produced in considering sampling.

>>14898630
what kind of style even goes with straight honey?
what are you trying to achieve

>>14898630
thoughts on african leather. Have you tried any of their leathers? People seem to be split on italian leather.

>>14898633
I guess people like smelling like sweet things? This one in particular smells very sensual, its a bit feminine too.

>>14898632
I loved Norne! It smells like pine sap at first and then a little like burning wood as it settles.

My three favorites were definitely Roma Profumum Dulcis in Fumde, Zoologist Bee, and Slumberhouse Norne

>>14898666
oh yeah, for a moment there I forgot women existsed

>>14898666
I agree. Bee is pretty sensual, would love to smell it on a woman - haha that’ll never happen

>>14898672
The trick is to spray Bee from Zoologist on your crotch as a man.

>>14898666
norne smelled generic to me. like plasticy pine resin. the hyper-realistic thing is a stretch.

>>14898682
Russian Leather by Memo is a great authentic Pine/leather scent.

>>14898675
I thought the trick was having a good personality and not being afraid of putting yourself out there

>>14898685
nope its bee on your balls. that'll do

>>14897824
For a 80's frag Fahrenheit stands out better than most frags than came out past years maybe because not many people have tried it

>>14897847
It actually suits better on leather jacket or casual shirt with boots

>>14898691
do you think actual bees will flock towards your balls? haha

>>14898693
yep

>>14897366
Fuck, either I got noseblind or it's absolutely gutless. It was a warm day, but it melted off me despite showering in the stuff. After only a few hours if I contacted my nostrils to where I sprayed my wrists I could get a nice leather and tonka but otherwise I couldn't get much of the basenotes on the tail end.

>>14898693
In college I remember some kid dropped a full bottle of fireball in the parking lot, and tons of bees flew over to get drunk. That was pretty weird

>>14898653
Honestly? I forgot I had not smelled African Leather yet so I put a little on my skin to test it out for you and I am blown away. I adore cardamom and this was like a cardamom bomb and leather! Fantastic, I actually love this. I will give deeper thoughts when I try it for real. It smells like a mature cardamom scent.

>>14898672
I was thinking about giving the rest of it to this girl I know, she would like it.

>>14898668
yeah they allude me too

>>14898589
Yes

>>14898420
Out of sheer curiousity, what male frags do you like?
Like what scents would you enjoy a co-worker wearing, or someone at a family gathering or a date to wear?

>>14898478
>>14898580
Seconding this. I just ordered myself a bottle of Sartorial in the Penhaligon sale, hopefully it should arrive before the new year so I can wear it out!

Waiterfag back again, looking for a new scent to use besides my typical L'eau D'issey, Ck Truth, Boss Bottled, Joop Go rotation now my sample hoard has thinned and I have no new work scents and also no frags that jump out at me.
Should I just bite the bullet and grab a 100ml of BDC EDT so I have a big bottle for all ocassions?

>>14898746
is it advisable for a waiter to wear fragrance?

>>14898749
Cdg black pepper was invented for him and he’s in denial

Anyone receive their CDG sample yet? I wonder if it'll arrive

>>14898749

>>14896323
can someone recommend a fragrance for me?

I'm working in design, wealthy for my age, minimalist. I like industrial type minimalism, ie concrete floors etc. I like winter and not a fan of spicy/'warm' scents. I was going to buy Sycomore but I can't find it anywhere. I smelled some Bleu de Chanel the other day and liked it but am looking for a less common scent that I can use on the daily. Prefer not to spend over a few hundred dollars.

Got my Tom Ford Beau de Jour just in time for NYE
how many bitches will I lay?

if you just rely on perfume, none.

how do you guys feel about BPAL and other indies?

>>14898928
You do know that it's being rereleased in a few months in the designer line at $100 less, right anon?

What frag matches the crazy look in der coomers eyes? Other than trex

>>14898966
Hyrax easily

>>14898964
lmao he could have snagged Azzarro PH and gone for the 80's rapist vibe

>>14898925

>>14898935

What does /fa/ think of Zara frags?

>>14898987
lol I probably ordered the last one.

>>14898979
Yes, this fits his description the best. Kind of reminds me of the smell when the rain first hits hot concrete.

>>14898964
source? :)

>>14898729
i don't really know anything about mens frags :(
just please dont wear anything that smells like axe body spray its the biggest turn off in the world when you smell like a boys locker room.
...... kinda embarrassing but i kinda like how boys smell after they work out and they're all stinky///

>>14899034

Got my Zoologist samples.

TOP FAVORITES

Squid: Deep blue summer fragrance with a silky smooth base note love it.

Camel: A mix of beautiful dried fruits. don't know if i would wear this too work it almost smells too elegant . This is something you would wear on your wedding.

Bee: Powerful honey and beeswax smell it's so intoxicating good lord.

Nightingale: Gorgeous scent for girls. Smells like a mix of plums and flowers.

GREAT FRAGS

Civet: Sour, sweet and woodsy. The drydown is much better than the opening .

Moth: nice fall fragrance. Smells like a mixture of freshly baked pies you smell while walking through a farmers market mixed in with a wood/musk sour note.

Hummingbird: Another great scent I would love to smell on a girl. Smells exactly like taking a huge whiff of some lilac flowers.

Rhino:One of the better Tobacco,Leather , Rum/bourbon scents ive smelled.

Good:

Panda: I smell fresh apples with a bit of an oriental earthiness coming from the bamboo, Pretty good summer frag but not for me. I lean more towards the bluish aquatic scents .

Bat: Imagine you're in a damp dark cave where fruit bats have been feeding on tropical fruits. That's what comes to mind when smelling this. I like the scent a lot but I wouldn't know when to wear it.

Dragonfly : I don't get much from it but the cherry note I do smell is nice.

Macaque: I smell Apple, Wood and flowers. I like it more than Panda. I think this could be a year round scent.

Elephant : If you've ever played around with fallen leaves in autumn as a kid you've smelled this scent. You get that earthy leaf / fermented tea smell . Once again I really appreciate the smell but I don't know when i would wear it.

MEH TIER

T Rex: Smells like walking into a 70 year old alcoholics house who hasn't taken a shower in 4 weeks.

Hyrax: Sour and astringent medicine

Dodo: If you get off on flocks of pigeons shitting on you than this is for you.

Beaver and Chameleon: Both smell like fabreez air fresheners

>>14899103
Unironically thanks for the blogpost, fren.

Review anon if you like pine or Pacific Northwest scents you should check out Caron Yatagan. Smells like old money and power like a freemason lodge, kind of unnerving to be honest. Also I've memed it before but Pino Silvestre is incredible shit, $12 for the best Italian barbershop scent ever made.

>>14898279
unironically do what Jeremy has done in the past and buy perfumer's kit from fragrance apprentice so that you know what chemicals that compose fragrances actually smell like

>>14899103
I honestly think chameleon is a nice summer frag i dont get the febreeze at all

>>14898420
let me mastrubate to your feet

Got Bleu De Chanel Parfum the other day, absolutely incredible

Well, I wasn’t gonna do it because I already spent too much this holiday season, but I got a sample of Bee the other day and it’s amazing, so I copped. Got me the special edition bottle coming!

>>14899296
worth it

>>14899241
I agree. I own Chameleon and I think it’s great. I can see how some wouldn’t love it, the frangipani and jasmine combination does kind of create a sort of nail polish vibe, but I like it.

I also own and love Dodo. Kind of smells a bit like blue sour balls to me. Again, I can see how not everyone would love it, but I enjoy the combination of the litchi-raspberry-line fruity thing with the green notes. Just does it for me.

I do love Zoologist in general, though. I have Bat, Civet, Dodo, Squid, Chameleon, and wear them all (though I’m very sparing with Bat), plus I just copped Bee, so I may be a bit biased.

>>14899312
I got the new 2020 formulation of bat in my sample pack. It's good but I don't get that banana smell a lot of people got in the old one.

>>14899240
>perfumer's kit from fragrance apprentice
looks really interesting, but it's $95, a bit steep for what it is. Any cheaper alternatives?

>>14899336
It’s supposedly a very different scent. I asked for a sample of the new Bat with my Bee bottle, so hopefully I’ll be able to post a comparison.

>>14899352
smells like dank cave and guava

>>14899373
Yeah, the original is much more vegetal with that great banana and other fruit notes. Still cave-y, but sounds different from the new one. Guess I’ll see.

>>14899373
guava or guano?

>>14899448
Yes.

>>14899448
guava fruit

>>14899343
not everybody needs to be a pro. amateurs can perfectly just experience a fragrance and describe how it makes them feel instead of trying to talk about the composition of the fragrance. its when idiots try to be technical, when they don't have the education/background that things start being a joke

>>14899058
Give Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir a sniff and see if that's the musky scent you're after?

>>14899492
it's not just about that, if you want to know what you like and really pinpoint personal preference, that knowledge is essential, otherwise "fresh" "fruity" "woody" can only get you so far

>>14899475
does your lady love it?

>>14899508
Probably not. It's a very niche fragrance and i would recommend you sample it before you buy it. It's very different than anything ive smelled..

>>14899230
>like a freemason lodge

The last lodge I was in smelled like an old Chinese restaurant.

Yatagan does not smell like that.

>$12

Also, it's difficult to find at the moment as it's being reformulated. It didn't last that long to begin with, so I don't think the performance will be any worse.

>>14899499

lol, if you want to know what you like go sample fragrances out there...this is why the same exact fragrance can be described so differently by different people because they're idiots, with no background and education, who have no business in dissecting the composition of a fragrance

the majority of people who use the phrase "ambroxan bomb" unironically don't even know what pure ambroxan smells like...what a farce

>>14899621
mad

for those of you that have a shave routine
do you seek out non-scented shaving cream/post shave?
or do you guys just say fuck it and do everything and put fragrance on anyway

I've heard layering is a pretty bad

>>14899669
I use Proraso sensitive skin shaving soap, which has a very light scent that disappears after it's rinsed off.

>>14896650
To me It’s like someone took a tree branch, and baked it with spices. Like a tree branch... but I want to eat it

Is Joop! worth buying at all?

>>14899684
Nope!

>>14899669
Soap scent doesn't last, so it's irrelevant.

As for post shave, I either match with whatever frag I intend on spraying or use a balm with a scent that's gone in less than an hour.

Pic related is cheap as fuck and scented, but the scent is gone in less than an hour.

>>14898420
Ok tranny

>>14898589
Its a fantastic scent, its very realistic green, like a fresh leaf you've snapped in half. It does have a pretty prominent coconut note, kind of creamy and sweet, which kept me from purchasing for myself, but objectively it rounds out the fragrance really beautifully.

The coconut is more prominent in the EDP iirc.

>>14898964
Are they thinking about rereleasing Tobacco Vanille in the designer line?

>>14898169
Im pretty sure its not at my counter either, boutique exclusives. Found samples online though, and full bottles can be purchased from diptiques website.

Just placed my order. I'll definitely follow up.

>>14899658
its basically me grabbing a dog by its neck and smushing its face to the shit they it took inside the house and really rubbing it in while telling it "no"

>>14898508
I can vouch for ck Be since I got a sample. It's really nice. It's lavender done well, and it's impossible to offend anyone with it. It's probably going to be my summer workhorse.

>>14899230
I guess you’re referencing the norne video I put up? I’m not big on pine scents but wow, norne really is something. It’s not shocking necessarily but so “real” if that makes sense. Nothing has come close to the density and photorealism it has. I’m not sure I’m going to cop like I said I was in the video because I’ve been mulling it some. Wonderful but 180 for 30ml I’m not so sure. Over 150 and I want to be “shocked” if that isn’t too meme-y.

>>14899103
Thank you for the post. My autism will only let me smell one at a time. We seem to have similar sentiments except I think chameleon is much better than “meh” tier. switch dragonfly with moth. Moth could have been a “noir” bee but instead they made it a piss bukkake. Trex should be above meh just for the artistic value. I know you’ve never smelled anything like it. It’s not exactly “wearable” but a marvel no less.

Is there a better wood/cedar? This is way better than tamdao and Morne. I hate the price though :/

>>14898861
No. Norne is syrupy and spicy and damp. Hinoki is sharp and woody sour and hint of floral

>>14899944
Thanks

>>14898861
This is he sorry I missed your post

Like >>14899944 said, Hinoki is dry think dry heat sauna. The dry bitter wood bench you sit on with an oily turpentine coating.
Norne is slicing a tree in half and huffing all wet sap and resins and taking wet fresh pine needles and making some kind of pine/fir earth orgy mashing them altogether on the sliced stump. add some incense and peppery spice. I’ve caught the slumberhouse bug I’m literally about to just sell my fucking nasomatto except my beloved precious baraonda and buy the whole line minus sibet (goat hair no thanks zoologist is enough animalic) minus sedanne (strawberry is a niche I don’t need filled my cape heartache fits that just fine)

All you guys need to go to scentbar in Nolita, they have all the niche stuff u ppl are into

>>14898420
I like that fox. That is a very cute fox.

>>14900013
Have you tried Sadanne? I own it and it’s actually really snice. Smells like champagne, roses, and strawberries with a little animalic funk from the ambergris. It’s the smell of post-Valentine’s day picnic sex.

>>14898420
Listen here little baby. You're gonna get a lot of hurtful and degrading comments, but that ain't what I'm about. Let me just say, you are perfect the way you are. You hear me sugar? PERFECT. Don't ever change. You deserve anything and everything you want. Stay safe for me, baby girl.

>>14900089
Haven’t tried it. Admittedly I’m curious. I’m curious about them all but altogether that’s big money, oy vey. I’m on a waiting list for the next kiste batch (yes there will be another). Have you tried ore? Or jeke? I feel that since I have Baque, jeke may be redundant

>>14900127
I’ve tried all the currently available Slumberhouse frags. Josh is many things, but stingy with samples he is not. Jeke is snice, but I feel it, Baque, and Kiste have enough similarity that they may not all be worth having. Jeke, I’d say is probably the most different but least complex of the three. Ore was just smooth vanilla, whiskey, and cacao to me. Kind of smells a bit like artificial caramel.

I own Kiste, Sadanne, Grev, and Norne, and I actually think Sadanne may be my favorite. Probably the only Slumberhouse frag more wearable than it is Grev.

>>14900142
Thanks for that. You’ve spurred some interest in sadanne for me and maybe saved me 360 dollars passing on ore and jeke

>>14900160
Thinking on it, you know what Ore reminds me of? Those butterscotch candies old people have. Like, the shitty artificial ones they buy from the dollar store because they’re too poor to afford Werther’s Originals. The ones with no saltiness at all, just straight artificial butterscotch sweetness. That’s what Ore smells like. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a snice enough scent, but that’s what it reminds me of.

>>14900185
I sold black phantom due to a similar candy realization and a weird peanut note that was just wildly apparent. Somewhat unrelated I know, but in a similar enough vein. You unshilled me on ore and shilled me on sadanne. Boozy tobacco is my favorite type of fragrance though so I’m not quite unshilled on jeke. Rhino is very good but very low energy and meditative, I’m looking for something more upbeat. Luca Turin was spot on with his rhino review. Very somber. I wore it out a couple nights and it all just felt so melancholy.

>>14900197
Jeke is very good, if you like the genre it’s worthwhile. I have tons of frags that are pretty similar in my collection. If you like it, don’t let that deter you.

I own and love Black Phantom. I do get what you mean about the peanut note, though. It does smell like peanut butter in the opening. I do love that sugary drydown with the bitter, slightly astringent coffee and rum in the background, though. Plus, I wore it to my sister’s wedding and wound up getting a blowjob from one of her bridesmaids in a conference room, so there’s a happy association there.

Which should I wear for New Years with a navy suit/white shirt

Ah hookeranon, I’ll get you and kouros poster on for an interview one day. Believe it or not you’re the one who put the bug in my ear way back to look into black phantom. I still really like it but the nut notes just didn’t settle quite right. Maybe I’ll come back around to it one day I’ve come back around to some frags over time. Sometimes you have to let something go and see if it comes back to know you really love it. My biggest fuck up was selling my mortal skin, you can’t even find it anymore. It was just so opulent and formal I’d never have a place to wear it but it was magnificent. I got it for an unbelievable price too, still kicking myself for not holding on tighter.

>>14900235
Y’know, Black Phantom took a bit for me too. I got a sample a few years back and I thought it smelled like weird peanut butter almost right away. Came back to the sample a while back and that time I started getting all the other nuances and it just clicked and I had to cop a bottle. Weird how that happens sometimes. I didn’t think much of Straight to Heaven at first either, but now it’s one of my favorites.

I’d for sure do an interview as long as we can find some way to do it anonymously.

What current fragrance is it similar to? Rive Gauche? Beau de jour?

>Dior l'Homme Cologne
>Dior l'Homme Sport
>Dior l'Homme Parfum
>the smell is completly different each time.

for me, it's Fahreneit

Chanceanon, can I please see some of ur puffy jackets? :3

I know, Costco had Aventus on sale at $79 cad. Whatever, too bad I didn't catch it.

Is there a way to lower this price at least? or i'm pulling the trigger #yolo

>>14900464

How do you feel about Paco Rabanne Eau de toilette

How do you feel about Paco Rabanne Eau de toilette Invictus

>>14900464
That's the lowest price you'll get from Fragrancenet.

>>14900446

It's a tranny you big dumdum

>>14900481
Smells good but at almost €100 for a big bottle also very expensive for a cologne. Only wear it for intimate moments.

>>14900229
>Ok, this is Reflection.

Reflect back on your year, bruh.

>>14900601
The dick only makes it better!

>>14900662
It is an eau de toilette, not eau de cologne.

>>14900662
what would be some cheap but good equivalent?

>>14900690
Do not listen to him, he knows nothing. Invictus is a fruity fresh, sporty fragrance with an aquatic tone. It is good for daily use and clubbing. I like it, but it is not anything special. One of its main attractions is that it is a workhorse fragrance that you can use liberally on the day-to-day basis since it is versatile and relatively inexpensive for a modern fragrance. Here in europe I can find the 150ml for under €70. It is likely quite a bit cheaper in the US, as per usual.
Bleu de Chanel is a functionally equivalent fragrance on a similar price range, although it smells quite differently.
However, if you only want it for clubbing, Versace Eros is somewhat similar fragrance and can be had for slightly less on the 200ml formulation, which will last you a very long time. Invictus is better for daily use, though. Longevity and projection is about the same.

>>14900662

I hope I hate it and don't end up wanting a bottle for years

Probably le male because I realized I have basically a whole bottle (got it as a gift) and I'm turning 29 in a couple months. Going to be a little harder to wear it after 30 ;_;
