The fragrance flowchart for beginners.

First for my blind bought baby, which Ironically got delivered to me while I was sleeping.
Take The Dreampill.
NOW.

>>17082009
you can sample it and smell its fragrantic piss scent at any store.
You almost memed me into getting Ted Lapidus Pour Homme Sport, then I checked fragrantica and people say it smells like Kouros. Too bad, I love the bottle and the 80ies.

Now that the dust has settled… was Bois Imperial unironically the best forced meme here?

What's your favorite niche scent?

Hey guys, I've seen this mentioned in earlier threads. Should I blind buy this as a 19 year old?

I usually go with at least 6 sprays.

>>17082020
>You almost memed me into getting Ted Lapidus Pour Homme Sport,
I have lapidus pour homme and i don't get any of the dirtyness of kouros, no piss at all but it does have a huge dollop of honey, and that lilly of the valley aromachem the eu just banned. I was under the impression that if anything the sport version was a white floral bomb.

>>17082023
I still haven't gotten around to trying it. I kind of lost interest when i saw it had ambroxan in it. But im interested again, maybe i will sample it. Bottles are $15 more than they were last year unfortunately

>>17082038
No, as a 19 year old you should be wearing cloud by ariana grande.

>>17082023
Definitely. I didn't buy it after sampling, but it is very good and the Quentin Bisch meming that went with it pushed me to explore his great work and buy Ganymede.

>blind buy molecule 01 because it was shilled here so much
>it arrives
>first couple sprays
>can't smell anything
>spray some more
>still doesn't smell like anything
>literally just looks like water in a glass bottle
>keep spraying
>nothing.mp4
>check batch number if i got scammed
>it says its legit
>what the fug

i live alone so i can't ask anyone if they smell anything too. did i just get memed? why do people buy this shit? i'm going to keep spraying more for a couple days when i go out for groceries and stuff since its hot out, this fucking sucks

>>17082054
>he actually fell for it

>>17082054
>>17082057
>OH NONONONO

>>17082054
Congratulations you are noseblind to iso e super, this is very common for people and you will not be able to smell molecule 1 no matter how much you spray. People around you will be able to smell it and it's usually a decent crowd pleaser but that doesn't help you any when you cant smell it yourself.

>eau de toilette
>79% alcohol
>eau de parfum
>79% alcohol

It's ridiculous that they aren't required to give the actual scent material concentration and can basically slap on shitty vague labels that aren't enforced and just another marketing tool.

>>17082069
Parfum just means it projects less than the edt and they added vanilla

>$16 for 3.3oz

Worth it?

>>17082068
Is that how it works? That actually sounds pretty cool and a good conversation started to get girls sniffing your crotch

>>17082073
Some people just cant smell it, i can most of the time but even i go noseblind to it sometimes and then suddenly hours later get whiffs of it again.
Its a very pleasant airy woody scent and like i said most people will be able to smell it on you even if you cant. It kind of gets memed as an aphrodisiac scent which is a bit silly but people do like the smell and it tends to complement most peoples natural skin scent.

Luna Rossa vs Sport?

I have only sampled sport and loved it. is LR different enough from Sport to compare?

>>17082072
Probably, most of those ck summers are fine at discounted prices like that, don't expect tons of projection and longevity but its so cheap you can just put on 20 sprays before you leave the house.
They make a different one every year, this is the page for the 2021 version you posted
https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Calvin-Klein/CK-One-Summer-2021-65799.html

>>17082070
I believe it. My EdT is 78% vol., looking at the Parfum version ("PURE PERFUME") shows 79%. Like sure there's water and some chemicals in these that are not considered part of the "perfume", so it could still be that the Parfum version has less water or whatever and therefore more perfume, but it's still odd. It's at most 21%, which is not really PURE PERFUME territory, plus it still has water and chemicals, so it's more likely around 15%.

Given that EdTs not rarely perform better, I can believe that anything else often just means "1-2% water replaced with vanilla, enjoy paying 30% more! - and don't forget to leave your rating online that makes this version out to be slightly better than the EdT like a good consumer".

Considering blind buying amouage beach hut man, why is this a bad idea

>>17082087
It's actually a great idea as long as you are buying it from a discounter for less than $200

>>17082038
Buy dylan blue

>>17082091
That's the idea if decide to do it, anon

>>17082091
>blind buying a fragrance for $199 is a great idea
Do you people have too much money or do you basically pay for the adrenaline rush of spending money on something you don't even know you'll like?

>>17082011
That shit pic looks like mexico

>>17082100
Mostly because paying $15 (including shipping) for a 1.5 ml sample bottle pises me off.

Just depleted my sample of O Hira by Stephane Humbert Lucas 777. Has become one of my all time favorites. Somebody stop me before I pull the trigger and splash out the $500 for 50ml…

>>17082129
Here is a bottle for $330 on ebay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/283330337832
Is it just a bunch of ambrgris?

>>17082135
Oh never mind about the ambergris frgrantica just has a completely wrong note pyramid as usual. Sounds interesting

>>17082087
It’s a pretty safe blind buy so long as you like mint and green/fresh forest-y vibes. Has a very clean, almost detergent (in a good way) or linen quality to it

>>17082040
espescially the OG should smell like Kouros apparently... Glad it doesn't, but even though they are very cheap I don't trust blind-buying them... Wish I could sample them. I need to have one...

>>17082139
The bottle looks like Kouros' bottle, so that's most likely where those scent comparisons are coming from. Fragrance reviewing is like 50% bullshitting anyway, even in the best of cases.

>>17082135
idk… I’m wary of purchasing anything off ebay.
>>17082137
It has no official pyramid. SHL just has it as “fossilized amber”. It’s so fucking good though. Incredible syrupy, animalic amber

>>17082100
not that anon but I have rarely come across a blind buy I haven’t liked. In fact, I can only think of one: Rhinoceros by Zoologist. Supposed to be a boozy leather scent but I could only smell a dank, fecal-filled zoo pen. Gave it to my brother

>>17082141
I don't like honey that much... idk... I summon the LPH sport anon to shill it to me properly

>>17082023
It’s good, but Mon Vetiver is the better Essential Parfums fragrance.

Fig Infusion is also good, I’m trying it right now. Green, creamy fig leaf and coconut.

>>17082144
>idk… I’m wary of purchasing anything off ebay.
Ebay is life man, that guy is in Oman and he has sold 65 bottles already. I doubt anyone is making fakes of such an obscure frag.

>>17082054
Don't most people use molecule 01 as a base layer to help a different frag project better?

>>17082120
It's a Greek island called Sifnos.

>>17082184
Maybe, the brand doesn't really sell it that way. They sell all those molecule fragrances as something that can be worn on their own. I know layering with iso e super gets brought up pretty often

>>17082171
I haven't tried the fig one, how realistic is the fig? Can you compare it to Dipthyque Philosykos? If it is similar but longer lasting I'll probably buy it

haven't been here in a while, seeing if there is anything new or interesting
-updated rotation

>>17082201
It's a midpoint between the greenness of Philosykos (at least EDP) and the fresh juiciness of Fico Di Amalfi. The creamy nutty coconut note also kicks up in the drydown. I haven't smelled real figs so I can't attest to how realistic it is, but it sure smells snice.

>>17082038
DOUSE

>2
>2 Man
>Wonderwood
>Blackpepper
>Concrete
>Amazingreen
Worth getting this sample set for 30 euro?
CdG feels like some kinda meme experimental brand, I've only tried Avignon from them and it was okay, drydown wasn't special and longevity left quite a bit to be desired though. If there's at least 3 solid scents in there I'll consider it.

>favorite frag is too expensive to be everyday wear

>>17082082
If you do 20 sprays, won't it still die down after a couple of hours? Or does it actually help longevity?

looking forward to my d&g light blue intense coming in the mail lads

>>17082023
It's very chemical, pseudo "woody" added some citrus and sweets to it.
The Akigalawood doesn't appear to be powdery-woody the way i love.
Ganymede is in the same generic ballpark, can be replaced by a citrus aquatic fragrance.
Mon Vetiver and Fig Infusion are my favs.

>>17082023
It's very chemical, pseudo "woody" added some citrus and sweets to it.
The Akigalawood doesn't appear to be powdery-woody the way i love.
Could also be the Ambroxan that turns me off and gives me the impression it could be a Jeremy shilled designer.
Ganymede is in the same generic ballpark, can be replaced by a citrus aquatic fragrance.
Mon Vetiver and Fig Infusion are my favs.

You can't trust a woman that doesnt love the smell of Chanel Antaeus. This is the definitive gigachad fragrance.

>>17082038

No. Do Bogart Club 75.

>>17082333
Oakmoss is the ultimate thot remover, if girl likes it, she's most likely marriage material.

Has anyone tried this?

anyone tried making their own perfume?

Anyone can explain me designer vs indie and why it seems that /fa/ prefers indie over designer?

I just started my fragrance journey recently, and have been discovering what I do and do not like. A friend of mine has quite a few fragrances so Ive been using his collection as a learning tool. From what I can tell it seems like my preferred smell profiles are more on the introverted or 'gloomier' side, so to speak, with stuff like le labo baie19 or encre noir, black afgano, and stuff like that. I guess I like woody or wet stony nature smelling stuff and smokey or whatever, but my friend tells me these odours are a bit more attuned for the winter, so they could be overpowering in summer. I guess this is really long winded but my question would be if there are these kinds of odours I might jive well with that would be more attuned to summer.

>>17082374
It's like coca cola or other soda compared to whine and whiskey or whatever. Sugary sweet and mass appealing, but not very interesting. Or fast food compared to some fancier restaurant.

>>17082257
to me the only one worth FB is amazingreen

>>17082374
Half of it is hipsterism, but the other half is graduating from "I want a frag that will make girls want me!" to "wait I gotta smell this shit on me all the time? fuck this I want something I actually love smelling all day"

>>17082374
>explain me designer vs indie
Pleb synthetic garbage vs Pretentious overpriced garbage

Just get Instant Crush and Sauvage edt and you are good to go.

What are the best unisex frags from the Hermes Eau de/Jardin series?

>>17082374
>designer
Large batches, common and mostly synthetic ingredients, mass appealing scents, cheap to semi-luxury prices
>niche
Smaller batches, some natural and uncommon ingredients, scents ranging from mass appealing to challenging, markedly more expensive than designer
>indie
Very small batches possibly mixed in someone's bathtub, naturals and strange or uncommon ingredients, scents ranging from pleasant to downright disgusting, expensive as niche but without the marketing or brand recognition

>>17082503
>Sauvage edt
>not pleb and synthetic tier

>>17082020
>you can sample it and smell its fragrantic piss scent at any store
I still never saw Kouros at any store for some reason. Looks like all the stores near me have Antaeus but not Kouros

>>17082227
Nice

>>17082518
I've only tried Jardin sur le nil, and it's really nice, but longevity is mediocre if not bad. Nice, crispy smell of vegetables and fruits blensds perfectly, but if you want people to smell you, this is the kind of frag you need to carry around and apply spray or two every two hours.

>>17082227
how are you liking Cyber Garden?

>>17082569
That's too bad, longevity is important to me
How long does Voyage d'Hermes last?

>>17082257
2 and 2 Man are worth a try. Amazingreen I didn't like that much but some people seem to love it (it just smells like green pepper and smoke to me though lol)
the others I haven't tried

Will this work on a first date?
I'm supposed to meet this girl for the first time in autumn and I've only talked to her online, she works at a bookstore and likes Harry Potter.
I've read that people describe this as smelling like Hogwarts and "magical", so maybe this is the perfect scent for the occasion. Is blind buying this a good idea?

>>17082374
>designer
cheaper. most of them try to be super mass appealing and end up generic smelling as a result, but there are some amazing designer scents too if you know where to look
>niche
usually just means "overpriced as fuck" nowadays. the way people use it online it's mostly just 400$ a bottle luxury brands owned by huge corporations
>indie
made by some autist in his basement and sold on etsy or something. usually contain a lot of expensive natural materials that may or may not be restricted in the EU

so basically the fragrance """community""" is a bizarro world where "designer" means cheap, "niche" means expensive and "indie" means what "niche" should mean in the first place

>>17082593
potential bait but I don't think trying to associate your scent to Hogwarts and "magical" on a first date is a good idea on any level -- and even with all that taken in consideration, no - just go with something easier

>>17082593
>will it work for a first date
if it makes you feel comfortable and confident and cool then yes, absolutely
I wouldn't say it's a very sexy or magical smell though, so to speak, a bit mysterious at most
>should I blind buy this?
if you like the idea of bitter green vetiver with iso-e super then yes, absolutely

>>17082386
>my question would be if there are these kinds of odours I might jive well with that would be more attuned to summer
encre noire sport, terre d'hermes, dior homme 2020 maybe, any classic citrus vetiver like guerlain vetiver or tom ford grey vetiver

>>17082586
the Parfum lasts better
most Hermes scents have fairly bad longevity, aside from Terre and Bel Ami I guess

>>17082593
A gay at Jazz Club Alto complimented me on it. That was the only unsolicited compliment in my life.

>>17082618
>Jazz Club Alto
*Jazz Cafe Alto

>>17082593
>I've read that people describe this as smelling like Hogwarts and "magical"
lol no, it's more of a dark forest kind of scent. not really safe as a date scent I guess but might work if you dress a bit goth or some shit
I imagine something like Eau des Baux or This is Him would be more Hogwarts-reminiscent, a bit of mysterious incense but ultimately sweet and comforting, a little nostalgic

>>17082593
Relpica autim vibes,
https://www.ebay.com/itm/224492178202
You can get a small bottle for not too much.
It smells like leaves and the the fall.
Here is the fragratica page for it
https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Maison-Martin-Margiela/Autumn-Vibes-67789.html

>>17082401
bad analogy. A better one would be a sandwitch by michelin star cook vs sea urchin sevice made by a guy that just learns how to cook. I don't think /fa/ prefers indie, I think they prefer vintage fragrances. Designer are hit or miss - made to smell good and likeable but at the risk odd smelling pedestrian. The premise of indie is to smell interesting and to differentiate yourself from the crowd, the cost however, is that you may end up smelling like you pissed and shat yourself. For me indie is for the most part overrated.

>>17082374
>why it seems that /fa/ prefers indie over designer
Because fa is just a bunch of incels with low self-esteem.
Also because cheap designer perfumes smell like cheap shit.

>>17082374
why does any community of x topic like more challenging and in-depth items? if you are into culinary stuff, you probably like making your plates and cooking stuff with crazy techniques. or if you like watching movies, you probably don't appreciate fast and furious movies after a few years but find more challenge in some other movies. I think that's the case with fragrances, too; the more you smell, the more challenging fragrances you prefer.

I do agree that getting into Bortnikoff and other very high-end names has to be differentiated, though, but the difference between designer and niche is mostly in the quality of the fragrances

>>17082011
Any AU frags? where to buy online? Thinking of just getting some shit off fragrancex. The shipping costs are annoying though.

>>17082257
Dries van Noten uses the same vials for their sample set, so here's one important information: they have no atomizer.

>>17080886
But anon, I also hate BI.

>>17082023
IKEA smell as a fragrance. Worst 10 ml I ever bought. Sampler kit is the best essential parfums option, honestly.
My favourite shilling was New York intense, because it made me sample it and I bought a full bottle.

>>17082069
How much water, though? Many have water as well, or other stuff which doesn't count as fragrance content.

>>17082087
Because you can't even smash the bottle on the ground if you hate it. They are made from that Soviet unbreakable glass they invented to save material.

>>17082593
Yes, 40 sprays.

waiting on a bottle of this on top of Machrie
I smelled this once on a paper strip and I remember it smelling almost like straight up frankincense, not very churchy, with just a tiny bit of smoke and a tiny bit of myrrh, though I read through a few reviews and most of them say it's more spicy than incensy, so I'm not really sure what to expect at this point

Give it to me straight bro.
How's Nautica blue for a cheap summer outdoor frag?

thoughts on Aaron Terrence Hughes' stuff? I have Onyx Extreme, Carbon (Animalix), and Hard Candy. I actually really like his stuff so far

Give it to me straight bro.
How's Nautica blue for a cheap summer outdoor frag?

>>17082705
>IKEA smell as a fragrance

I wish it smelled like Ikea like Bowmakers, for me it's dry Vetiver on top with designer-like sweet-woody-ambrox drydown, something you smelled million times before.

>>17082593
>Will this work on a first date?
No, not a good first date frag. It's a good cool weather frag if you like sour vetiver but if you're unfamiliar with it then don't get it for a first date.
Get Prada Luna Rossa Black or Armani Stronger With You Absolutely instead. And always test a frag out before you buy if you can.

>>17082732
>thoughts on Aaron Terrence Hughes

Frequent gay club enjoyer, his perfume line gives also this impression.

>>17082735
Very synthetic and cheap smelling. Works better as a air freshener or a fresh cheapie for after workouts.
It'll do good enough, but won't impress anyone.

>>17082756
that bad seriously?

I've been wearing YSL la nuit de l'homme for years at this point and really pissed since the weak reformulation that barely last half a day so I'm just looking at cheap shit at this point.

thought that was a given. what male perfumer isn't. i'm positive roja dove is too. like thierry mugler, tom ford, versace, ysl, jpl, dior... all liked cock

>>17082761
Would Mont Blanc Legend SPIRIT be a better choice?

>>17082773
Than Nautica Blue? Definitely. But I'd recommended you try Bvlgari Aqva Atlantiqve and Bentley Azure if you get the chance.

>>17082771
My favorite smell is the fabric softener smell you get when a man unzips and pushes your face into his crotch

Is there a fragrance that captures that?
Or should I just rub myself with Bounce sheets?

>>17082778
kouros and antaeus are the quintessential gay man's choice

>>17082227
How do you like Salvador Dali and Lagerfeld? About the former i haven't seen any post besides mine ones, so i don't know if you copped it recently or earlier. For me it's more masculine easily than 90% of men's frags

>>17082333
I really love this scent, but I feel it wouldn't fit me very well

Anyone got any advice. Im going to be going to nashville and ATL for a week, and I've never used perfume before keep in mind im a 5'5 turbomanlet

>>17082879
>keep in mind im a 5'5 turbomanlet
idk if that factors into your choice of perfume
what are you going to be using it for? clubbing or something?

>>17082891
Yes I suppose and just exploring around I don't go clubbing like that often so maybe some more general purpose for summer.

For the people saying that encre noire isnt a good first date and/or date scent, can you elaborate on why? What do you seek on a date scent and what does encre noire lack to make it one. It smells nice and woodsy and a bit mysterious and whatnot. Wouldnt any nice non overpowering odour work nicely for dates, or is it more a question of what type of notes give off what vibes and the association between different smells to different emotions?

>>17082690
>they have no atomizer
Well, that's just plain fucking retarded. Why would anyone do this? Was even considering buying the set, but I'm not willing to larp as a chemist at home.

>>17082910

Women are simple creatures male fragrance wise. It’s best to leave more complicated scents for later in a relationship. Blue fresh/lavender clubby frags for summer dates, spicebomb-esque scents for winter dates. That’s why such species of frags are so hyped.

I suppose if she is an arthoe/goth you could pull off something weirder like Encre Noire. But why do encre noire when you could do another ‘black’ nighttime scent with more mass appeal?

Good morning shills

What are we shilling today? platinum egoiste? bois imperial?

what are some black nighttime scents with more appeal in this case

>>17081533
>>17081535
tried byredo mumbai noise on me this morning.
went grocery shopping, returned home and promptly took a shower to get it off.

after about 40min it began to reek like shit. a specific type of shit, i know this exact smell. this smell is in my garden.

>>17082933

Mr. Burberry Indigo.

>>17082023
I enjoy it. Fresh herbal woody with some sweet oud ambroxan. Nice for cool spring weather.

Guys what are some good similar fragrances to this not in scent profile but in sillage. I work as a research tech indoors and outdoors and am looking for something to match but doesn't whip other people in the face with it, something that just gets a snip of when walking by people in the office.

>>17082910
It might be a fine scent for dates depending on the girl but that also depends on her tastes. And if you don't know for certain what she likes or dislikes then wearing something as polarizing as Encre Noire on your first date may not work out the way you want to. Maybe get to know her a little better before you bring out a heavy scent like EN and use something with a little more mass appeal on your first date.

>>17082735
>Nautica
Uber synthetic.

>>17082961
>but doesn't whip other people in the face
It's too warm and heavy. That's the point of it.
Just get any other frag.

>>17082961
Maybe Reflection Man or Original Santal? Also go easy on the sprays or spray under layers of clothing so it’s more discreet

>>17082961
Chanel Platinum Egoiste is probably a good fit for you.

I purchased 2 decants, Hacivat by Nishane and H24, enjoying them both so far but I think Hacivat will be my new signature scent.

>>17083081
What are your thoughts oh h24? People here say its basically BI. Have you smelt both?

>>17083090
Personally, it smells specific in a way that reminds me of a classic fragrance adapted for modern times, and it does it very well. My nose is not trained enough but I can feel the green and metallic notes, they're versatile, non-offensive, and certainly leave an impression. I've been getting compliments from my female co-workers, and the guys love it too, so all around a good fragrance to wear if you want to be present while not offending anyone.

Any opinions on Perris Monte Carlo?
Recently smelled Bergamotto di Calabria. Think I’m gonna get that.

>>17083090
Forgot to add, I haven't smelled BI, can't find it in my country.

>>17083081
I got a bottle of Hacivat recently. Have gotten a few compliments from it.
Lasts all day too, which is nice.

>>17083153
It's a beast fragrance, I sprayed it on a tester strip, put the strip in my wallet, and my wallet SMELLED like Hacivat for a whole month.

>>17083090
I've briefly tried both but didn't find them all that similar. H24 kind of smelled like banana flavored candy to me, maybe it's the narcissus or something. And BI was more green herbal woody, though I've only tried it once.
Didn't really see what the fuss was about with either of them desu, I'll stick to Terre d'Hermes

Do you agree?

>>17083168
well apparently those are their bestsellers, so nothing to agree or disagree with
I really like TdH and DHI, not really a fan of the rest

>>17083168
No

>>17083145
>Personally, it smells specific in a way that reminds me of a classic fragrance adapted for modern times
This was my take on h24 as well

>>17083168
1million is gives me a headache.

>candy synthetic "tropical fruit" opening
>mildly annoying smoke and cedar drydown with not much else going on
why do people hype this so much? just because it has slight similarities to sneed amogus?

>>17083182
There was a troll a few months ago that would call H24 a TdH flanker and anons would get angry because he was obviously trolling, but also, I think that's a defensible take. TdH and H24 are opposite sides of the same coin. In the same way as there are similarities in the more classical woody scent of BI and the futuristic metallic Ganymede, the same applies to TdH being the woody classical fragrance and H24 being it's metallic and intentionally synthetic alternative, imagining what TdH would be if the present was what the future of movies in the 80s and 90s looked like

Guess waht, went sampling again. My gf thinks I'm really autistic for how I got hyperfixiated on frags so fast and how frequently I check them out. I smelled too many frags and went so fucking noseblind.

I was sampling and this lil zoomie said something to me in dutch. We started talking, and dicussing fragrances together. Sampled frags all over the place and we both smelled them and shared our thoughts. He said he was 14 and follows some tiktokers who discusses frags. Was fun.
>Dunhill Icon is nice
>Of all the Tomf Fords scents I tried I only liked Eau de Soleil Blanc, love the flowery coconut
>Antaeus smells exactly like Kouros: piss
>Versace Dylan Blue Pour Femme is very nice
>TF Neroli Portofino smells EXACTLY like Cool Water HAHAHAHA I sprayed 2 strips with each of them and asked the zoomie which one was the 300 bucks parfume and he picked CW HAHAHAHA imagine buying this shit
>>17082778
Cool Water. It's literally the scent fabric softner companies copied for decades. But only fabric softner, no cock scent. You can't have both.
>>17083168
all you need is Sauvage EDT, ADG EDT and Chanel Allure sport.

>>17083237
I still think h24 is just the contemporary version of cool water, a take on a fougere-ish fragrance made with the latest aromachems

>>17083240
>Antaeus smells exactly like Kouros: piss
antaeus smells like beaver asshole, anon, they're using different animalics
>TF Neroli Portofino smells EXACTLY like Cool Water
it smells exactly like Neroli Intense (my friend who has a bottle of NP agrees), which is even cheaper than Cool Water lol

>>17083245
Kek, Antaeus starts bitter herbal animalic and dries down to manly rose.

>>17083287
God its so good, ive been dousing myself in it all week.

>>17083168
No skanky oud? I think your list is for highschoolers.

>>17083287
>>17083291
I know, I've been impressed by it too. Might cop a bottle this autumn, though I'm not sure if it fits my twink looks. Maybe a decant.

>>17082791
It varies
I can go months without buying anything
Then the past couple weeks I went overboard and spent about $1000

>>17083413
Gay sex

Got this as a free sample back then from essenza nobile and haven't come around testing it. People in reviews are comparing it to Oud for Greatness, which I haven't sampled btw.

The opening is instantly pleasant, the different notes are quite easy to pick out here, lavender, saffron, with an underlying oud base. Drydown is quite linear: sweet (but not overly so) and a bit spicy, not that much wood. Smells somewhat dirty, as in rather not clean-smelling, but still something I'd imagine to be very likeable for most people. Feels not synthetic at all.
You may say it's nothing groundbreaking and that's probably true, but it smells great, has decent projection while still being inoffensive, and it lasts a good 6 hours on my skin (which I feel is really rare). Price is steep of course, as with all PdMs, but this one seems to work for me at least. Could imagine wearing this on evenings, doing so everyday I'd probably get tired of it soon.

>>17082618
>>17082625
thinking about that jazz club encounter we had

is the roma uomo cedro poster still around?
i kinda feel like buying it

>>17083478
I actually dont like this one. It starts out smelling tree bark woody and morphs to a chocolate caramel candy powdery wood on my skin. However I always get complimented in it when I wear it so I guess its a people pleaser.

You cannot name a better top 3 frags. Unless you’re an autist, or actually gay and don’t enjoy smelling like an überfresh gigachad, this is the top 3 frags you can buy. I’ve gone down this rabbit hole to the point of researching frags for days on end. Niche, discontinued, underrated etc - all of the shit you will research will NEVER get you to the point of how many frags I’ve tested. These are the top 3, bar none and nothing else comes close. Once you get into expensive niche it changes, but for mainstream, normal chads who want to smell absolutely fresh to deff just need to buy these 3. Heed my warning, do not waste your time trying to find some niche, hipster shit that smells good you will not be able to.

I miss this like you wouldn't believe.

Replace the two Boss frags with Versace Man (or Eros) and D&G Light Blue and then it works

>>17083780
fuck you i bet you wear shit that smells like tobacco and honey like all blacks

>>17083760
Ombre leather is okay on my GF, i dunno if i would wear it. The others are meh

>>17082011
Currently have Versace pour homme, sauvage, eros and snicebomb

Looking for something to wear when its super hot, cause rn my go to is pour homme but I think I would like to change it up sometimes. I've tried "fresh" stuff like bvlgari aqua (marine and atlantique) and can safely say I hate anything that smells like the ocean or whatever shit is in there.

Also tried some of my friends replica "whispers in the library" and it was pretty good, I think sephora has a replica sample set so I might try their stuff out.

>>17083852
>nishane hacivat if you're willing to spend some $
>encre noir sport is ok especially for the price there's a slight aquatic tinge but nothing overbearing

>a*men pure energy if you'd like to smell like a mint julep
tried to keep it to designers frags, have another niche suggestions but given your current line-up i don't necessarily think you're looking to splash $200-$300 on a bottle

>>17083760
Ombre Leather is the only good frag of the three and it's not even the best sweet designer leather desu, Antaeus and Dior Homme Parfum are better
Y is generic and Cedrat Boisee smells like offbrand fruit candy and smoke

>>17083852
Gulerain leau boisee
Fat hit of lime, a mojito accord and a bunch of airy transparent iso e super in the base. Oh and allegedly sone vetiver somewhere in there.
Lasts pretty damn long, no aquatic notes, wears great in hot as fuck weather.

>>17083852
it's time to shill Neroli Intense again
10$, very fresh, not aquatic, lemon and soapy white florals

she wants to get railed. she's envisaging getting penetrated thus is projecting that onto the straw in the cup moving it up and down. if you look closely she closes her eyes holding back her orgasm as she thinks about chad's hard cock unloading deep inside of her. many such cases

>>17083909
You ever talk to someone who just loves to talk?

So yeah she is thinking "when is he gonna shut up" t. Also an autismo

Any idea where I can get a full bottle of this? Everywhere seems to be sold out

>>17083909
She doesn't care

>>17083933
If its out of stock on lickyscent than nobody ese has it either. It might be discontinued or they might just have a shortage of the specific aromachems they need to make it so they can't make a batch right now.
https://www.luckyscent.com/product/77210/concrete-by-comme-des-garcons
Frequently lucky scent lets you preorder out of stock cdg frags, the fact that they aren't offering that means they don't expect to get more anytime soon.
I don't see any bottles on ebay either, maybe some retailer somewhere has a few bottles in stock. Did you check dover st market?

Can someone buy me some chep frag? You guys are rich always flexing 300 bucks purchases like nothing. We could be frens

>>17083982
Encre noire? That's a pretty "specific" scent, that not everybody can wear and I feel like is highly tied to colour of clothing and setting. I have it and it smells good, very distinct, but wearing it is another thing.

>>17084022
Wholesome. I hope EN turns out to be your signature scent.

Is there anything obscure that smells close to Fico di Amalfi Acqua di Parma? Too many normies know about Acqua di Parma and I want to continue gaslighting them.

Anyone taking bets on who of them starts jerking off on camera first?

What are your favorite frags to put on before bed?
For me its dark warm spicy frags
Ombre noir is nice, i wish it didn't get discontinued it was the best of the noir series, great warm spicy frag without smelling like BO or cumin, performance is insanely good at least with the sample i got.

>>17084087
>literally complaining about people calling her a gold digger for dating older men
You can’t make this up

>>17084129
i like warm spicy frags for bedtime too. been using spicebomb extreme as my nightly wear. black afgano sometimes too. peak /comfy/

>>17084129
honestly i don't like putting too much of cologne before bed, usually i just spray one frag on 1 arm and different frag on 2 arm (1 spray each, or a few dabs of sample) and that's it

>>17083852
>to wear when its super hot
Monotheme Vetiver - the freshest scent ever.
Also very cheap and natural.

>>17084351
With the right girl, sure. I could see wearing it if you're dating a art hoe type, or maybe even a goth chick.
Of course, you never know for sure what scent a girl is into unless she outright tells you. That's why you should always wear something that you enjoy because at least it'll make you feel good and boost your confidence.

>>17082878
just change your personality and appearance to match antaeus

>>17082910
wear kouros and ask her if she makes sons

>>17083852
Dunhill Icon if you like neroli with a twist (or JeP Neroli Intense if you want straight up neroli).
Cool Water Intense if you want something sweet.
Something from the Bleu de Chanel line always works in high heat, as well as Platinum Egoiste.
Carven L'Eau Intense, for some minty-fresh greens.
Adidas Active Bodies if you want it cheap, showergel-like and fresh-green.
You could try regular Cool Water as well, to see if you can "tolerate" the amount of aquatic accord it has, and if it ain't too much you could check out Green Irish Tweed. I hate aquatics, but so far Cool Water and GIT make the cut, as well as Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. The latter one just barely.

>>17083212
I joined a facebook group for fragrances in october last year and everyone was buying ither that, or red tobacco and now there are a lot of posts of people selling bottles with like 20ml missing only for cheap. It always appeared as a tacky scent to me

>>17083760
You're going to write a resume with your fragrance experience for this garbage? I've come to a similar conclusion about niche and all, and I too stick to conventional designer fragrances, but anon, you should know better than Cedrat Boise.
>>17083772
Eight & Bob is virtually the same fragrance. I love the bottle design of Fahrenheit tho.
>>17084254
Unless you want to be perceived as a fag, just wear a deodorant

What are some of /frag/'s favourite cheapies?
Looking for something new to try that's like 75ml+ for $30 - $40

>>17084510
you mean her clot

>>17084254
Depends on concert. What music, standing in crowd or sitting? Standing in a sweaty crowd inside with a heavy warm fragrance can be cloying and obnoxious. Outside you might get away with it.

Safest is to use something light and fresh.

>>17084552
>kouros during the warmer days,
Sprayed it before going to bed on a hot summer night, no ac. Woke up around 1-2am and smelled this nice smell, took a second to remember it was kouros.

>>17084552
>I joined a facebook group for fragrances in october last year and everyone was buying ither that, or red tobacco and now there are a lot of posts of people selling bottles with like 20ml missing only for cheap. It always appeared as a tacky scent to me
red tobacco is loud, synthetic and somewhat tacky too, but I can see the appeal, it's kind of fun
cedrat boise though just smells cheap and nasty. can't believe people buy this shit at Chanel or Dior prices

What perfume is this a copy of?

>>17084480
Thomas Kosmala makes a juice that smells 95% like BR540. No. 4 Apres L'Amour. It actually projects much better than BR540 and it's roughly half the cost (per ml)

>>17084480
>What does it smell like
Like sweet celluloid (photo film).

>>17084692
adg? bottle looks very similar

>>17084692
I don't think it's a direct copy of any fragrance.
>Top Notes: Bergamot, Water, Bay Leaf
>Middle Notes: Cardamom, Jasmine, Patchouli
>Base Notes: Cedar, Sandalwood, Musk
Closest ones I could find were Replay Essential For Him and Jequiti Champs II. The bay leaf note is a bit odd, not many other frags use it. I don't think that LC Waikiki is a very popular brand outside of Turkey.
Hope that helps.

I need a year-round signature scent
I live on the coast, not far from the beaches, climate is hot and sunny with cool, sunny winters, rarely if ever any rain or really cold weather.
I want a quality frag that smells refined and sophisticated, not something cheap and generic. I'm in my mid twenties, dress fairly smart casual and am more of the relaxed reserved type but I don't want a skin scent.
I'll sample it beforehand so I have no real budget limit if it turns out to be something I really like, though I guess more than 400€ for 100ml would be pushing it.
Give me some ideas, anons

How is this one like,its like 20 euros

<$1.80/ml
NO WEIRD SHIT THAT WILL MESS WITH MY HORMONES (most important)

The following are ideas, I don't necessarily want a fragrance with all of them

Warm weather:
>Top notes of pine, sage, orange, grapefruit
>middle notes of pepper, haitian vetiver oil, cloves
>base notes of oakmoss, cedar, woodsy notes
>accords of some woody, fresh spicy, some green, some aromatic
I don't really know what I want when it comes to warm weather fragrances, but I want a woodsy outdoorish smell.

Cold weather:
>top notes of rum, nutmeg,
>middle notes of candle smell, spices, haitian vetiver oil
>base notes of sandalwood, leather, amber
>accords of woody, spicy, with the smell of candle smoke

Thanks!!

I just picked this up due to the FromPyrgos recommendation, it's apparently a Santal 33 clone. Never sampled Santal 33 but it smells really familiar. Pretty nice woods but it's kind of an overplayed smell, every hipster in the last 10 years smelled like this. I much prefer Bois Imperial if I'm going to wear something extremely woody. For the $20 it's excellent though, fuck paying 10x for Santal 33. Also got Dunhill Fresh on the way, apparently that one is like Fahrenheit meets Aqua Velva.

Help! I’ve managed to land a date with a qt art student (not too alt though).

What fragrance should I wear out of these?
Bois Imperial

>>17084821
Cremo’s body washes are pretty based. Their silver mountain water clone body wash is so refreshing it’s crazy

>>17084869
where is versace l'homme
extreme lemon pledge opening, one of the only frags ive received unsolicited compliments from.

>>17084645
surprisingly it is pleasant and i really don't know why some people dislike it THAT much, i can see why it might not appeal to someone but not the worst scent surely.
>>17084657
> can't believe people buy this shit at Chanel or Dior prices
Yeah to me it seemed like mancera is trying to be some affordable-niche brand or shit like that

>>17084835
It's slightly on the sweet side with resins in the dry down. Personally I wished it a little bit more sharpness to it. Very pleasant though.

>>17084870
Prada L'Homme.

>>17084572
Versace blue jeans, versace the dreamer and versace l'homme were all solid frags i tried at around 30$
Also davidoff cool water

>>17084870
BI obviously...no contest

Teabros, what other tea frags are good? I sampled Tea for Two from L'artisan Parfumeur and I love it.

>>17084894
Nishane Wulong Cha

>>17084894
Teazurra and silver mountain water. Also amazingreen doesn’t have a tea note but it smells like tea to me.

>>17084873
versace l'homme is heavy, defo not for summer
>>17084869
>womens italian zest
based, how is worth buying?
also, what do you think of l'occitane verveine? i had jeanne en provance verveine cedrat and it's mediocre

>>17084894
Are tea frags more of a summer or winter scent?

>>17084924
The opening of Italian zest is great but it’s not worth the price. I went to the loccitane store yesterday and bought vervaine on a whim. I smelled a lot of cool stuff yesterday in Bloomingdales too

>>17084979
It was really good when I tested it, but that was a while ago.
It lasted around 8 to 10 hours on my skin with good protection. I'd still test it before buying it, they could have changed it since I tried it. But to me 40 Knots is probably the best frag that Xerjoff makes.

>>17085044
>are these pthalate/paraben free
hermes has some statement about being pthalate free, I don't remember if Dior has one

>>17084792
>>17084803
Not him but which of these is most versatile for both day and night without getting cloying in the heat?

>>17082869
They both had to grow on me, dali less so but it was just very different. Neither is filled by a different slot. Lager is an orange tobacco soap, Dali is this moist kind of powdery... I dont even know what to call it

>>17084238
Nothing like each other

>>17084924
L'lomme is year round, its too sunny hot burning leather car smelling to not bring out in heat like it was in the 80s

>>17085171
On my list the more versatile ones would probably be the lighter frags like Colonia Essenza, Pacific Rock Moss and Guerlain Homme, but I think most of them on that list would work well in a warm climate. They're all good spring/summer frags that made for use in the heat and humidity. The only ones I would consider more of a nighttime frag in the summer would be the Floris and Elysium, but really it's a matter of personal taste on whether a frag is too cloying in the heat or not.

Best summer scents with oriental/desertic vibes? Is Soleil brulant good?

>>17085044
They all should be by now since it was mandated by the state of California.

Or do you happen to have any recommendations?

Bois Imperial is literally amazing, wish I would have bought it two years ago when the shilling started. We're still early adopters but it's going to blow up soon. People ask me what it is every time I wear it

Are there any niche brands with truly interesting, evocative and unusual scents? I don't mean interesting as in "damn that's disgusting and one-dimensional so I guess it qualifies as original" but in the actually wearable sense.

>Montblanc Legend
>PDM Percival
>A&F Fierce
So which is the best out of those three? Which is the most complimented, has the best longevity and sillage, etc?

>>17085475
I'd recommend that you take your time and test out some frags that interest you before pulling the trigger on anything.
Better to be patient and buy something you really love than buy something you regret because someone else recommended it.
Get a sense of your own style first and then you'll have a good starting point to ask for similar recommendations.

They are unironically all obsolete since Bois Imperial. If you want a retro vibe then just actually dive into obscure 80s frags or at least Cool Water, the 2000s Iso E Super woods has been reimagined and you need to get with the times

>>17085511
Stop memeing and answer the question

>>17085475
Yeah those are fine, try and go to the mall and smell them if you can.
Also i would recommended light blue forever for men over the original

Not memeing. Fierce if you NEED one of those. Just get Cool Water though, it does what those do way better and without smelling literally like the mall

>>17085523
I have Cool Water, I don't really get complimented on it.

TSVGA Parfums fiona
Worth a sample or maybe a 9ml bottle not worth a full bottle.
Yes it has animal musks, it smells beautiful and not like poop at all.

For the price tag, Fierce is the best. Percival is probably slightly better overall but you're paying for the branding and name more than quality and it isn't worth it. Legend is very similar to Fierce but the performance isn't as good.
So if price doesn't matter to you, get Percival. Otherwise get Fierce. And if the Fierce homo bottle is too off putting, then get Legend.

>>17085541
Alright, thanks.
Do you have an opinion on Kilian VOTR which is usually cited as another alternative take on Fierce or is it not even worth looking into

>>17085541
how good is a&f's longevity compared to percival?

>>17085543
This is going to be a frustrating answer but really it depends on your tastes. Overall Kilian is really good but VOTR is different enough from the others that you asked about that you should test it before considering it. It's not near enough to Fierce or Percival to compare it honestly.
But if I was spending big money on a frag I'd rather do it on a Kilian than PdM any day.

>>17085558
Well I'm inquiring about frags that can be more or less considered Fierce clones rather than something actually different like VOTR so I might just sample it separately.

>>17085557
Percival is better but it's difficult to justify any PdM price tag. They are so over hyped and expensive for what you're getting. I mean, it's better than Fierce but ten times better? I don't think so

>>17085568
>ten times better?
percival is like 250 and fierce is around 100, a&f increased their pricing and allegedly diluted fierce, when was the last time you tried it

>>17085564
It's definitely worth trying but I'd never rec it as a clone of Fierce or Percival.
And at least with Fierce it's cheap enough if you aren't satisfied with it you can still get something else without breaking your budget.

>>17085506
the answer is Platinum Egoiste

>>17085572
It's been a while. And I wasn't inferring that there's an actual ten times difference in price, just that Percival isn't that much better even though it's hyped that way.

>>17085577
Okay, I guess I'll get Fierce then. But fucking notino doesn't have it for some reason
>>17085585
It's not a Fierce clone, I think.
