All these new designer flankers and still no new Chanel men’s designer release

Where are they going next lads?

Trying Philosykos today for the first time. And immediate blast of coconut, which I adore. It smells like the the shell as well as the flesh. I’m not familiar with fig as a note particularly but I’m guessing it’s where the richness is coming from.

>>15648114
>And immediate blast of coconut
Try Naomi Goodsir Or Du Serail it has a very soft coconut undertone that’s beautiful

>>15648119
Thanks. I’m receiving a full bottle of Heeley Coccobello today so that should keep me happy for a while.

Recs for aquatic frag? Wish Amongst the waves was more widely available.

>>15648125
It’s here!

Right, I ordered that bottle and now I also have the following samples:

Papillon Bengal Rouge
Rien Intense Incense
Yatagan
Pour Un Homme
Anima Vinci - Oud Delight
Bentley for Men Intense
Prin Anatolia
FM En Passant
Le Parfum De Therese (again)
Philosykos
Tam Dao
Xerjoff Oesel (it was free)

That will keep me happy for a while. Not to mention my Francesca Bianchi set coming on Monday.

>>15648114
It's supposed to be the entire fig plant - fruit, leaves, bark. I think the initial blast is like a rich green without being foresty (eg piney) or wet ferny. The skin scent phase comes quick (2-3 hr for me) but it's oozy green creamy with the coconut and fig. Fucking love this shit.

>>15648135

>>15648112
Make more women's scents because men still only want Blu

>>15648153
It’s already toned down very quickly for me, but it’s so smooth and creamy. I had no idea what the notes were going in to it so I had to look it up. It’s really good and so elegant.

>>15648151
Good samples

>>15648166
Thanks. Do you have any favourites from that list?

I’m still learning but it’s great fun being able to slowly detect more and more notes.

Might be nice to try layering it without breaking the bank

Really fantastic work Anon. Tell me a bit about yourself and how you got into fragrances?

Needing a rec. I dress like pic related during colder seasons. Already own TV, SB extreme, CH prive. Looking for something more avantgarde yet dark ie Kilian back to black.

Anyone here switch between "I love all of my weird perfumes" and "Why the fuck do I own full bottles of these when I have other perfumes that smell great and are actually likable?".

I was drunk and wearing Musc Ravageur last night and thinking to myself "This is so good, why do I own bottles of artisanal oud perfumes that most people won't like?" But now I'm sober and I'm glad I have them. I'm probably done with all that limited run stuff though.

>>15648358

Dior Homme Sport. kinda want to try the old formulation.

>>15648166
>Thanks. Do you have any favourites from that list?
Papillon Bengal Rouge (Great oriental but might be a bit polarizing.)
Rien Intense Incense (amazing modern, leather-aldehydic chypre but don't overspray it. When ELDO say Intense it's really intense. I once felt lie I'm gassing out the room after wearing only 3 sprays)
Yatagan (I'm not so sure about this one. Apparently old versions were olfactory equivalents of rape in the woods but on me it was pretty polite and snice castoreum on green-woodsy background that dried down to a comfy vanillic thing.)
Pour Un Homme (It's great lavender but might be challenging to pull off).
Bentley for Men Intense (cozy boozy F/W cheapie)
Prin Anatolia (I don't know this one but Prin always delivers)
Le Parfum De Therese (Great aquatic. Wrote a longer post about it couple threads ago.)
Philosykos (basic but good designer reference fig frag)
Tam Dao (basic but good designer reference for sandalwood)
>I’m still learning but it’s great fun being able to slowly detect more and more notes.
Yes that's the way to go. Suddenly after smelling 100 frags you realize how many details you can detect.

>>15648518
Thanks for that. It was me that you were talking to about Therese in those threads. You’re the reason I picked up another sample of it. Shame I could only get 1ml.

currently starving in an apartment I can barely afford
time to buy some bottles

>>15648151
Based samples,
I wear en passant or bengale rouge most days right now. Today a shitload sprays of chypre palatin, though >:)

>>15648186
I have a sample of byredo rose noir which is a quite simple rose with a slight dirty background, quite nice.
Otherwise malle portrait of a lady is an obvious one you should try

SOTD: in the morning Ciro Parfums Chevalier De La Nuit (super comfy clove+vanilla patch), in the afternoon M. Micallef Gaiac (warm guaiac wood with clove+vanilla). Both despite having the common clove+vanilla undertone are very cozy and velvety fall fragrances. What are you wearing lads?

>>15648186
Kazimi is the best rose perfume.

I just tried the new Aesop Rose perfume, I think it's called Rozu. It's pretty good.

>>15648186
Stop looking. Ormonde Jayne Nawab of Oudh is the one. A fresh, three dimensional rose with substantial dose of ambergris. One of its kind.

>>15648554
I did try a quick little spray of En Passant and it’s a thing of simple beauty. It’s interesting how it’s marketed towards women but seems perfectly unisex. More so than some of the unisex ones.

>>15648524
Ah, I thought so. Good stuff, remember to come back and report.

>>15648597
I guess Claude still uses Colissimo for shipping? Their service fucking sucks. I've almost waited for a month for my bottle of Parfums d'Empire.

What kind of outfits do you wear with your sandlewood perfumes?

>>15648628
My sandalwood frags are typically spicy-fresh (Geo F Trumper Sandalwood, Nicolai NYI) and I wear semi-formal work clothes with them

>>15648628
Whatever the fuck I want

Usually in the fall/winter this is what I wear most days, or something like it. I wear Diaghilev with a denim jacket, IDGAF.

"Noooooo you literally can't wear anything but a black suit with (X) perfume!!! Basedface.jpeg

>>15648646
Your jacket is extremely faggy but I like your attitude.

Nicolaï new york or new york intense ?

Thinking of layering Oud Wood with something animalic. What are some civet based frags that aren't too strong and mix smoothly?

>>15648715
New York Intense is apparently a more accurate to the OG New York.
>>15648744
Not the best choice of frag for animalic layering. Oud Wood is clearly synthetic and almost antiseptic. You'd need something more natural.

>>15648753
I've never worn an oud frag outside of the Hugo Boss one. So I just want to try whatever to find what goes well with it :)

>>15648065
Any good

>>15648827
no, way too sweet

>>15648808
I would go for bright, sharp fragrances to layer with Oud Wood. Bergamot should work great. In my mind it should layer well with Acqua di Parma Leather for example because it has a similar sharp profile as TFOW and is a quite simple composition (you want to avoid making a mess of hundreds of notes).
>>15648827
It's a huge sweet floral done in 80s way. This was the fuckboi club fragrance of our dads. Make whatever you want out of it.

>>15648744
The TF boutiques often recommend Neroli Portofino with Oud Wood.

>>15648827
I got gifted a 125ml for christmas a couple years ago by my mum.
Couldn't tell her it's too strong to wear so I just went with the autistic "t-thanks"
I may have only used 4 or 5 sprays of it since then. I really don't want to commit nuclear warfare everytime I go to get groceries or the jobcentre.

>>15648836
>back to black.

>>15648838
what are some other comfy late 80s early 90s scents

>>15648838
Thanks for the rec anon, I'll just give a whirl with what I have for now then branch out to other scent profiles but yeah citruses seem like a good idea. Sorry if I sound like a noob, I just buy mostly safe scents (as you can likely gather) and use them as an extra accessory for my fashion. Not really into vintage, sample hauls etc but I do appreciate a nice smell or two.

>>15648876
Aramis H A V A N A

>>15648881
It's completely fine bro, hope I didn't sound snobbish

For me it's Platinum Egoiste and Kenzo PH

>>15648888
nice quads. And not at all, the least I want to do is sound like another sperg with no knowledge of frags, throwing around "layering combos" that just aren't good.
It's just a hobby for me, but learning more about it is always welcome

>>15648876
Cool Water

>>15648699
What's wrong with it? I don't know anything about fashion, it just looks like a basic denim jacket to me.

>>15648909
>>15648889
>>15648884
thanks kings, im making a list so if you got anymore that be nice

>>15648984
I should say regarding Cool Water that it’s quite potent in the opening but I find the drydown very comfy for what’s essentially a spring/summer scent.

Fahrenheit is arguably comfy.

Yeah, the explanation behind that is that I actually physically work every day. Faggot.

I sprayed my arm with Papillon Salome for the evening to chill with a book and lads... Lads it's such a beautiful frag.

>>15649439

Tried Stercus today, It smells like a female asshole after a romantic date.

>>15649470
>Stercus
>The matter discharged from the bowel during defecation, consisting of the undigested residue of food, epithelium, intestinal mucus, bacteria, and waste material.
Well, the name is fitting then.

SOTD: MDCI Invasion Barbare on one wrist, Lutens' Chergui on the other. Stayed in all day reading Sebald's Austerlitz and Bernhard's Extinction.
I'm considering buying Chergui, it's really cheap for the quality you get, but at the same time, Or du Serail is a much better tobacco scent, imo, much comfier and sensual at the same time.

>>15649500
chergui is a bit cloying for me

Finally caved in and am learning to play Civ V after it sitting in my steam library for 2 years.
Do I have to cop a bottle of Invasion Barbare to douse in as I sip brandy & coke, playing till 4am on my days off?

>>15649457
I wore my sample of Bengale Rouge this evening and I get 90% cinnamon, which seems against the grain. The vanilla seems to be more subtle and I’m assuming that the other prominent note is myrrh because I’m not familiar with it, and it’s definitely not tonka, honey or rose.

It’s a perfect evening scent. It feels like it sits close to the skin, but is ideal for wrapping up warm with a book and just basking in the miasma of warm spices and subtle sweetness.

How are the animalics in Salome? Are they overwhelming or are they balanced out nicely?

I have no idea what this means, but I guess Memo has a new frag out? Some people here used to love Winter Palace, I wonder how this will be received.

20% of the composition by weight or volume (ignoring alcohol of course) is real hyraceum, but it's not stinky, more just very sexual.

Coomers have no concept of dignity.

Just tried Amouage Enclave and it smells like a synthetic monstrosity to me. Watch it be the next hyped men's niche perfume. On the other hand, I just tried Spice and Wood and I'm pleasantly surprised. Not at all worth the money they ask, but it is very nice. I'd definitely pay ~175 for a bottle. I wonder how good it was before the reformulations. Also tried Royal Oud and it's also nice, but it had a weird musty smell to me in the opening.

Serge Lutens Sa Majeste la Rose is the most realistic bright and crisp rose. I personally despise the powdery ones that are done in modern perfumery and it took me a long time to find that one. However I don't know if they ruined it with their reformulations couple of years ago

>>15650232
Also there are people saying it smells like Tea Rose. That's absolutely false and tea rose is a garbage I would never touch in my life now that I know what it is

wheres that violet boi? i found something you might like. this brand looks like the real deal, anyone have experience?

>>15649711
22??? thought she was 30

>>15649762
Lmao gets laid more than you

>>15650335
Nope. Literally just a few years out from high school and she already looks old.

>>15649439
woah...this is the first video i have watched of hers in a while, what the fock is that accent? She is trying so hard to mask her weird ethnic/bogan aussie hybrid accent (I am australian so can pick it up), pretty embarrassing. It's like she's trying to put on a semi American/European accent on.

Today’s first sample: Caron Pour Un Homme

My immediate thoughts were “What the hell is this?”. I had no idea how lavender, vanilla, and musk could smell like this. Almost a touch pissy, just slightly “off”. But now it’s been an hour it’s the most deliciously smooth vanilla and lavender combination. Being so simple I’m not sure how much this will develop, but after an initial unimpressive first blast and opening I didn’t really like it, but it really settles down nicely.

>>15649470
Yes, that’s the smell exactly.
>>15650543
It’s great, isn’t it?
>>15649851
Similar thoughts here. I think it’s OK and my nose doesn’t find it too synthetic (but it might be different for you, I reckon you might react this way to Amber Extreme which is Ambroxan on steroids) but funnily my girlfriend absolutely loved it on me. She was coming to me just to get some whiffs of it. For me its kind of pointless release as Beach Hut is a better mint-forward scent with darker undertones than Enclave.
>>15649540
Yes, it’s not stinky to me.
>>15649531
Wtf I hate Killian now, I thought that he pours the juice to the bottles himself and sends boxes.
>>15649524
It just says that there’s a new MEMO scent out and they are going to add 4 samples to orders. Indeed Winter Palace is one of the best tea frags I know. I got interested in it because of Tolu that I love Chypre Palatin for but Winter Palace is so much more than tolu. It gives it an oriental deep balsamic vibe but it remains fresh and zesty thanks to citruses. Really three dimensional composition that’s appropriate for any season. I have it on my ‘want’ list looking for a good deal to show up.
>>15649508
Salome is a beautiful complex animalic floral scent. The animalic notes are balanced out and everything all together reminds me of a dark chocolate smell. I would not necessarily wear it’s outside as I am aware that my nose and reception is a bit different than that of general public but still can enjoy it in home.
>>15649507
That’s a good fit.
>>15649500
Ok dude, what the fuck, are you my doppelgänger? Austeritz and Extinxtion are one of my fav books (albeit I prefer The Looser when it comes to Bernhard). I very vaguely remember that we talked about books already long time ago here - in any case check out Krasznahorkai too. What amazes me tho is that you also love MDCI and Chergui. These are timeless classics for me. Do you know Chypre Palatin, NYI? Would go out for a beer with you dude.

>>15650708
>Caron

I’m loving it more and more as time goes by. It’s almost 90 years old and doesn’t smell dated.

>Salome
I’m very intrigued by it. Like I said, when I’m done with Bianchi I’ll try Papillon.

I forgot you were also a Krasznahorkai fan. I’ve only read Satantango and Melancholy, but I’ve seen all of Tarr’s films as well that he helped write and they all range from “Great” to “One of the greatest cinematic achievements I’ve seen”

>>15650715
Defo try Papillon.
>Or du Serail
My commennt was too long. I also love this Naomi Goodsir. It's my favorite honeyed tobacco scent for sure but I wouldn't say that it's much better than Chergui. They're very much different. On me Chergui smells like cherry pipe tobacco.

>>15650715
>It’s almost 90 years old and doesn’t smell dated.
That's the thing with Caron. It doesn't smell dated but might be hard to pull off by some men. It requires some masculinity about how you carry yourself.

is layton a meme fragrance? How does layton compare to nishane ani?

>>15650919
Yes it is. It's not entirely bad (but there's nothing special about it - it's a routine baby's first spicy vanilla) but should cost 2-3x times less. The entire PdM house is a meme that was created by a serial businessman who doesn't care about much but money only to ride on the wave of popularity of 'niche' fragrances among Arabs. No they don't compare. Entirely different fragrances.

>>15650708
I assume you're Polski-bro in the UK. I'm half hungarian, and Magyar Lengyel jo barat or something like that. All of Bernhard is great, but yeah, maybe The Loser is his best. I just finished The Emigrants and I loved it. Like the other anon, I've read Satantango and Melancholy, need to dive deeper into Krasznahorkai. And yes, I do have a decant of CP, never tried NYI though.

>>15650715
Where do I start with Bela Tarr? Also, I'm the anon asking for your opinion on Bianchi.

>>15650911
I definitely don’t look like the guy in the ad but I think I could pull it off.

>>15650951
With Tarr I started with Satantango. Go big or go home. I thought maybe I wouldn’t like it. The first shot is seven minutes of cows walking around. Knowing I still had over seven hours to go I wasn’t sure what I was in for. I was hypnotised. I watched it over three days (I’ve seen it twice and did so both times) as it has intermissions. The slow pace didn’t make it feel like nothing was happening, it made me anticipate what it was leading to. The soundtrack, the cinematography, the acting are all sublime. I firmly believe Mihaly Vig’s score for Werckmeister Harmonies is the best I’ve ever heard. Valuska is probably my favourite piece of music from any film.

His earlier films feel almost like like social-realist Ken Loach films, but with a communist Hungary backdrop. If you’re interested in his work I don’t think it would be bad to go chronologically. If you want to know what he’s all about, start with Satantango. If you want a flavour of what he’s all about in a more manageable package try Werckmeister Harmonies. It’s still one of the best films I’ve ever seen, it just doesn’t have the grandiosity of Satantango. If such a film can be called “Grandiose”. I should also say I hadn’t read any Krasznahorkai until after seeing all of Tarr’s films so it makes no difference. Plus Krasznahorkai doesn’t like to call them “adaptations”, but an independent piece of art inspired by the books.

Alright lads, anyone have a mostly feminine fragrances chart? I'm looking for a relatively cheap, sweet, floral, maybe vanilla-y perfume for the gf.

>>15651034
cheap? really m8

>>15651046
>She opens it, somewhat confused

>For you, my darling. It was a bespoke recommendation just for you. I was told that not only is it great value but it’s both “based” and “not for noselets”. I hope you like it.

Where could I find this? It's not on spotify, and it's hard to find the whole soundtrack on youtube. A link would be greatly appreciated.

>>15651069
Slightly misleading I suppose because the film only has the two pieces of music. But here is every piece of music he did for Tarr’s films up to Werckmeister.

>>15651088
Not the anon you're replying to, but I've been out testing frags with my gf. I'm trying to get her into Penhaligon's, HdP, Diptyque, Lutens, Frederic Malle, and she wants me to wear Chanel Blue and Allure. Oh well, she's the best fuck I've ever had so I won't complain about small things.

>How cheap is "cheap" for you?
Around $50. Now before you start screeching at me, I'm well aware I won't get anything incredible for that price, but I also don't want to get anything too expensive considering we agreed not to give each other presents or make big expenses.

>>15651108

Thanks, mate. I was once described as “reassuring” and “quietly confident”, which I feel at good traits to have.

I'm from contninental Europe, so I can't really comment on Anglo law schools. To me it was pretty easy ngl. Bar exam was a bit tough in the sense that I had to actually sit down and study, but in the end not that big of a deal either.
Still wouldn't recommend it and if I could do it over I would go for CS, physics or math 10 times out of 10, much more suited for my autistic personality. Law is full of Stacies and used car salesmen types.

After Caron Pour Un Homme during the day I’ve got Yatagan on for the evening.

Something about this feels very familiar, but I’ve never smelt anything like it. It almost smells like a bonfire in the woods. The lush greens dominating, but the smoke drifting through the trees.

Bros I want this Corona shit to be over with but I've got a feeling that even with a vaccine it's here to stay. We're going to be wearing masks for years.

I want people to see me smile, I want to see other people smile, I want people to smell the perfume I'm wearing, I want to make friends, I want to meet a woman.

Fuck China

>>15651465
You can’t blame China for everything. The British (English) government have well and truly fucked it and made things worse for people here. For a country as supposedly rich and powerful as this one we certainly don’t seem willing to prove it in the way this has been handled.

Could a 24 year old pull it off?

Eau de Sauvage Parfum is the most mature smelling fragrance I own and I feel it is the maximum I can go.

Asking for a friend...

>>15651497
By all means sample it. I’m the guy that tried it for the first time today and it doesn’t smell like I expected at all (it’s much nicer) but it’s kind of unusual and hard to place in terms of maturity, but I definitely agree about what the others said regarding the masculinity. Generally I just should wear what you like, but sometimes things don’t always match. Since you like ESP then I think you’re already wearing more mature scents so definitely try it.

>pic related

These are my top 5 worn this year and I love um. What else should I pick up that's similar ? I was thinking the prada luna rosa line.

>>15651537
How's Touch compared to Prada l'homme? Some people say they have a similar vibe. Which one do you prefer?

>>15651537
Dior Homme Eau for Men, if they still make it. You never hear anything about it but it’s more interesting than Prada L’Homme in my opinion.

>>15651537
You've got enough full bottles for now. Start sampling instead >>15648068

>>15651541
They are in the same ball park for sure. Both are amazingly well blended "soapy" floral smells. Touch has this soft "white musk" note and the smallest hint of spice that is really nice. If I had to choose I would go l'homme though only because it's probably my absolute favorite so it's not a fair comparison for me.

>>15651454
I know what it is now, it’s the pine that reminds me of Cape Heartache. But Cape Heartache had a strawberry note that destroys it for me. Yatagan smells like how I hoped Cape Heartache would.

>>15651537
>>15651560
Holy based, I love Bright Neroli and L'Homme. I will check out the others.
Burberry Touch is on my list for quite a while, haven't heard that it is similar to L'Homme yet. I guess it would work for colder days since I don't see L'Homme working in winter for example.
Is my assumption right?

Scent of the evening: Chopard Oud Malaki by Dominique Ropion. What are you wearing lads?

>>15651619
wearing mdci peche cardinal, just from a sample, but pretty fun.. very fruity and a bit too sweet for me, but actually quite cozy

>>15651600
I live in Texas, it's always hot here so I can't say if it will cut through the cold. Touch is softer smell though. It's not a BAM right in your face kind of sent. I think it only goes for about 25 bucks. I like it a lot, even for just spraying something after a shower or spraying around the house I think that's a must have. If you like bright neroil and lhomme my guess is that you would almost certainly like touch

>>15651497
I think anyone can pull it off because it has a soapy - clothes out of the washer feel.

>>15651537
What should I buy
Burberry touch or Versace the dreamer??

>>15651993
You should buy samples of both and decide yoursef idiot.

I wouldn't say that pour un homme de caron is a very masculine fragrance. It's delicate and aromatic, my girl often puts it on after taking a shower. I'd say that if you wanted to pull this scent off, you'd have to bear some kind of masculinity to not come off as gay

>>15651619
Polo Club Blaze, apparently it's exactly like spicebomb. It's very very sweet, like candy cherry vibe with some spice in the background. It's growing on me

>>15652059
I agree, it's a great masculine but in the end of the day it's still a powdery vanilla lavender. I don't know where the Pour un Homme = rugged masculinity that you need to be a rugged man to pull off came from, I think it is a lot more true for Yatagan but Pour un Homme just smells like very natural lavender with a great powdery vanillic oriental base, not anything I think of as rugged. The lavender smells like the dried lavender pillows my mom used to hang up in our house when I was a kid

DESCRIBE IT

I need Encre Noire A L'Extreme in a 50ml bottle and i literally can't find anywhere that sells this size. I really don't want to commit to a 100ml bottle.

Please anons where can i find a 50ml bottle for a decent price?

>>15652487
It's like 23 bucks for 100ml on eBay.

>>15652500
yeah but i want a small form factor bottle. i know it's cheap and i don't care for price. i just prefer smaller bottles that take up less space.

Thinking about grabbing a bunch of zoologist samples to expand my horizons a bit. Going for bat, bee, hummingbird, t rex, elephant, squid and panda. Anyone have experience with them?

>>15651537
Prada amber pour homme is underrated as fuck. It's like hot sauce, I put that shit on everything.

>>15651619
Fat electrician. It's growing on me.

>>15652554
havent got it but people say 8-10 hours

>>15652554
Versace signature is good, literally always gets a compliment from my gf. A little boring but also a classic

>>15652533
It really is great. I love everything about it from the juice color to the bottle

>>15652514
Never smelled either iteration of bat. Bee is good. Hummingbird can not be worn as a man but it's very nice. Trex is amazing but totally unwearable. If someone tells you that it's not unwearable they're wrong. Elephant is nice and natural smelling. Squid is good, interesting, pretty true to its name. Panda is ok, I didn't like it much.

>>15652503
Man I guess you're going for some sort of minimalist living type thing but keep in mind that one decent sized piece of furniture will take up the volume of like 500 perfume bottles so keep that in mind.

>>15652572
>>15652533
>>15651537
Do you guys prefer Amber pour homme or L'homme?

>>15652572
>>15652623
It's weird; I could replace l'homme, but I wouldn't replace amber.

>>15651537
If you want something similar from Luna Rossa = OG LR. Sweeter = Sport. More leathery = Black. They all have that powder feel.

>>15652554

Jeremy has just uploaded a video in Polish. To the Polish speakers, how is his Polish? I’m learning it on Duolingo despite the app’s flaws and struggling like hell as a native English speaker.

>>15653095
In the meantime my SOTD is Rien Intense Incense. I sprayed it expecting my entire body to explode but what I’m getting is a rather big, but very pleasant note I assume is aldehydes because it’s reminiscent of something in Kouros. I could see this getting to be a bit much after a while, but maybe it settles down and becomes much more easy going. Not even close to what I expected, but I’m very surprised.

>>15653166
That smells like shit tho

>>15653169
Intense Incense, Kouros or Aldehydes?

>>15650951
Yeah that's me. You've good taste both in literature and frags. Glad to see people like you posting here.
>>15651034
If she's not into perfumes any more than an average girl then sorry to tell you this but buying her a cheap release from a big brand name is probably the best choice if you're on budget. Women are very social creatures who perceive things differently from you. Most of normie ones (in regards to perfume) that I know prefer to wear 'Dior' or 'Chanel' not a particular scent and if you want to go niche there should be an appropriate price tag standing behind it to reassure them that the thing they got is of high status. It's just this way. That being said I made most of my recent gfs in fragheads to some extent and their perception have shifted towards quality of the scent not brand.

Literally the only thread I go to 4chan for
>>15653156
He's quite good but obviously missing some grammar (that is notoriously difficult to learn). Overall it makes him admirable to make all of these small mistakes and copy-paste English and German language patterns. He says that he's going to visit his Polish grandma for Christmas this year but his true name is Daniel Średziński. He was born in Germany but both father and mother are Polish from a small town Hrubieszów (dad's dead). Then he talks shit about vegans and how he likes that Poles eat a lot of meat lol.

>>15653301
For some reason I’ve really warmed to Jeremy lately. I don’t know why. I think it’s just the realisation that he’s just a loveable goof in a Chad package. I’m English and only wanted to learn basic Polish so I could be polite when I go there to visit friends and the grammar is fucking ridiculous. The Polish section on Duolingo is very primitive and doesn’t actually “teach” Polish, but kind of tells you things and expects you to notice. For example, words like “Kot” or “Kotem” are essentially the same, but the context in which it’s used is never explained, you just have to hope you notice.

And also I’m learning it to impress Polish women at work. That too.

>>15653321
Seems like his Unisex for Everybody might possibly be a banger. Have you or anyone else smelled it yet?

>>15653356
I’ve not. I’m surprised to see it’s Extrait. It seems like he might finally be ironing out the issues with his pricing and branding.

how would you cope if you lose your sense of smell to covid?
i had covid a couple of weeks ago . the cough and fever was nothing but the week they dispersed my taste and smell was noticeably suppressed. not gone but i could only smell things if i practically put them up my nostrils . i was compulsively sniffing coffee and after shave trying to hold on to it. i used a nasal rinse because i thought i could feel my nostrils burning like the dead virus was still clinging on in there. not sure if it helped. as i said this symptom receded as well. but during that time i essentially grieved for the loss . my grand dad lost his smell and grip in his fingers to medication but he was in his 70s and had a lifetime of experiences to remember. the thought of living 2nd half of my life with diminished experiences was really quite depressing. it occurred to me as well that if this happened to a large enough percentage it would render many fragrance and flavour industries completely useless . it'd be like living as an android who can pull up the wikipedia for any emotion but can't describe how it feels.

SOTD: HdP 1740 Marquis de Sade. Smells like a dandified Jovoy Les Jeux Sont Faits. What are you wearing lads?

I've just noticed that Phaedon's sample set is quite cheap and i'm considering copping that right now. What are your opinions on the house?
also, has anyone got their l'artisan perfumeur free samples yet?

>>15653463
Svensk Parfym Sadel today. No doubt one of the most realistic leathers I've tried

>>15653321
Duolingo is just like that with most of languages. That's why I stopped to use it for Italian and instead signed up for a regular Italian classes. At some point you know hundred phrases like 'The red hedgehog likes to swim in jelly' but don't feel like you can have anything but a basic conversation. One can also only guess the grammar while learning with Duolingo. Just keep on grinding tho, I can assure you that even if you know only some basic phrases you'll be welcomed and perceived very warmly. People there really appreciate putting some effort in learning the language.
>>15653501
>I've just noticed that Phaedon's sample set is quite cheap and i'm considering copping that right now. What are your opinions on the house?
They're good. Tabac Rouge is a better Tobacco Vanille.
>also, has anyone got their l'artisan perfumeur free samples yet?
Yes me, about 1-2 weeks ago. I got Mechant Loup that I hated and Passage d'Enfer which is really snice.

>>15653501
Just checked it out and damn 23x2ml samples for 59EUR is a great deal. Do they issue on top of that a voucher that you can use when buying a full bottle? I guess it'd be too much to ask, but I'm curious.

>>15653374
I would probably use this time to rethink this hobby and think how many scents do I really need.

>>15653519
When I went for the first time last year I only knew the absolute basics like hello, goodbye, thank you, and most importantly “Piwa” and “Na zdrowie”. They seemed to appreciate even that. My friend is Bulgarian but speaks several languages so him and his girlfriend were translating for me in restaurants and at her uncles house where he had a birthday party for himself and his brother. None of the guests spoke anything but absolutely basic English (but still more than my Polish) and it was still great fun. I’m still not sure if one of the stories I was being told was the guy being massively racist but I smiled and nodded politely anyway.

But you’re right about the useless phrases. And the problem is there just aren’t resources for learning Polish because I guess it’s not such a common thing (unless you know of any).

I suppose I didn’t notice how bad the Polish course was until I tried French and noticed how much more “complete” it felt.

verdict on this stuff?

>>15653827
i use the lotion version at night, smells comfy and weirdly reminds me of my grandma. for that reason i think it smells very calming

>>15653827
>>15653831
oh and i should say it leans feminine

>>15653831
Yeah my grandfather passed away and my mother was going to give this to him, since she sends him refills around every year. Seemed like a waste to just toss out an unopened bottle.

>>15653744
I have halloween man shot (great name) It's similar to la nuit but feels a little more casual. It's easier to wear it in warm weather. It's a really good cheapie

Also, FUCKING BIANCHI SET DIDN’T TURN UP. I’ll kick that delivery drivers cunt in when I see him.

>>15654379
It's not very tobacco-ish is it?

>>15654447
there's a very distant tobacco, but the main player here is just a beautiful rose with just a hint of sweetness and a bit of green. I think it might be the most beautiful rose scent I've tried.. although it's been a while since I smelled malle portrait of a lady
>>15654420
This one is much less warm compared to bengale rouge (which I love, I bought a bottle).. considering a bottle of this as well, papillon really is straight quality

>>15654470
Thanks, I wish I’d known about her sooner. I only got in to sampling recently after spending two years buying full bottles if I really liked a sample. I should have waited. I could have bought a bottle of something like Bengale Rouge for less than the cost of something like Oud Wood. Not that I don’t love Oud Wood, but Tom Ford is worth billions. He doesn’t need my money. That’s a lesson learnt the hard way.

Just voted trump. Wore this to the polling place

I just received a perfume I ordered off of eBay. It was listed as brand new, but it came without cellophane. In what sort of situation would that occur? The seller has 50 thousand feedback and is at 100%, so it's not a Russian fake. It's a gift so I haven't tested it to see if the atomizer was primed yet, but some atomizers come primed brand new.

SOTD is Under My Skin. Obviously it takes a little while for the alcohols to evaporate in this because I went in a little early and coughed and sneezed. It’s been ten minutes and it’s a terrific opening. Slightly sweet, rich, subtly leathery and a very slight floral element with an animalic quality, but not in an unpleasant or funky way. Obviously it’s just a first impression but I think I’m in for a treat here.

>>15648065
what's the best deodorant for men

>>15648065
Will sound kind of pleb to you people, but I got Dylan Blue as some kind of all-round smell everyone would like and it smells quite nice. It's my first cologne ever after some cheap Lacoste I got as a present some years ago.
It's interesting how smell can change perception and feeling. I didn't know that.
Maybe I will buy another one for night outings in some time and come back to ask for some help.

That's all. Have a great day.

Do it!

Under My Skin has developed nicely. The funky Castoreum is more prominent but the spices are still hanging around and of the few scents with Castoreum I’ve tried this is the most pleasant and elegant. It’s interesting how it doesn’t feel separate from me. When you spray something like a citrusy or floral fragrance it’s obviously a fragrance. It’s not a human smell. With this it really just feels like it’s how I smell.
