/fa/ - Fashion

Any Anons with similar taste that could recommend what to sample?
I am going to buy Cafe Cabanel next, but i am not sure what i will sample.

It’s funny how 90% of drama disappears after the former faggot OP leaves this thread .

>>17232185
And how this thread is doing just as fine without his shitty photoshops and constant discussion moderation attempts

Guys wtf do I do, just received my 2 frags from across the world (fucking New York) and they GAVE ME A WOMAN FRAGRANCE INSTEAD OF MY MANLY SMELLY TED LAPIDUS.
AAAAAAAAAA FUCKING BURGERS, CAN'T HAVE SHIT IN EUROPE

Now, you all know the brand, this bottle costs exactly 5 times more than my frag what do I do?
Do I gift this to my gf ( without lying, I can't live with that)? Doesn't smell bad. But I want my fucking Lapidus.
If I contact them will I have to return it if I want my frag? Any chance they'll let me keep it and send me the right one free of charge? Or just refund me? What do they usually do?
I don't think anyone would buy it from me

>>17232192
They did you a favor. Lapidus, Bogart and all other cheap dated shit is never worth it even for how cheap it goes

>>17232192
>He bought Cool Water from the states
kek

>>17232228
Didn't know they were based in the US, overall they had the best prices considering I wanted TLPHS and most stores don't have it. It was the best deal. It's weak and doesn't have the strong opening I experienced in one store, it has the drydown clean from the start, like most stroes I tried it at. Not unexpected but hoped for the best considering it's a tester.
Never bought anything from the states before, first time and they fuck it up, bravo Biden.

Thoughts on pic related?

What fragrance is each of them wearing, realistically?

i want to try some new fancy smelly stuff.
give me some recommendations.

this is what i currently have.

>>17232248
>Japon Noir
>XXX Charcoal
Could you describe those?

>>17232245
Some random Bond no 9 frag he randomly got, Acqua di Parma, GIT, some popular Dior or Chanel because of the brand

>>17232192
Give it to your gf, buy a bottle of lapidus from somewhere else. I don't know how they will react if you contact them but under US law if they send you something you didn't buy it belongs to you.

>>17232177
Where is Bois Imperial on that chart?

>>17232309
Haven't tried it, since it is a vetiver/woody frag, which i dont really like, as you can see on the chart

>>17232302
>>17232302
yes I intend to gift it to her for her even though she just bought Cloud. Bummer cause I wanted to select a frag for her myself.
>under US law if they send you something you didn't buy it belongs to you
Oh, so they can't really do anything about it?Should I then try to get a refund/the right frag shipped? worst they can do is say no right? I really wanted to try the Lapidus...
>>17232177
Fahrenheit is great. Dylan blue if you need an everyday all occasions frag

>>17232192
Actually looking at reviews the ELDO scent is kind of meh, contact them and demand they send you the bottle you ordered, tell them you will return the endo bottle after you received your lapidus bottle and ony if they agree to pay all shipping costs upfront. They will probably just tell you to keep it and send you lapidus.

>>17232310
The vetiver is not that really noticeable, but it's very woody in a good way.

>>17232315
Yeah but bear in mind women frags always have lower ratings than men frags on forums cause girls are way harsher with ratings for some reason.

I'm wearing it now, it's not bad at all, clearly feminine, soft, white floral, smells exactly like the colour of the bottle: light pink, soapy and powdery. very delicate, doubt it perform beastly. Would most probably not pay 110 bucks for it, but for 20? a great cheapie haha.

so you say I ghost them after I receive Lapidus or something? damn I really don't want to get sued by a big corp

>>17232330
>so you say I ghost them after I receive Lapidus or something? damn I really don't want to get sued by a big corp
Nah im saying make it clear its their mistake and their problem to fix. No need to be hostile or anything. Just say you got something you didn't order and want the bottle you ordered, they should just send it. Hopefully they wont even bother asking for it back. If they demand it back then i dunno, tell them you don't need to return unsolicited goods and ask for a refund for the bottle you didn't receive.

The Fragrance Groups 101 chart

>>17232170
The fragrance flowchart for beginners

>>17232185
Funny that you try to start drama again

>>17232177
Maybe Le Male Le Parfum?
It's not like Ultra Male and Le Male are more popular than D&G The One or LNDL BE.

>>17232185
i have noted none of the sort. even after he left it was multiple threads of shizoposting from every side. fucking annoying. pretty sure it'll start again.

>>17232170

>>17232388
>It's not like Ultra Male and Le Male are more popular than D&G The One or LNDL BE.
That category was made because i have two friends that wear Ultra Male, and i have smelled Le Male on way too many people. So the category is subjective.
I will check out LMLP, thanks for the advice.

>>17232241
>Didn't know they were based in the US
Anon, that stuff is made by Coty. In France. I paid 25€ for 200 mL during Prime Day here in Germany.

>>17232245
Tarantino is wearing Eau de Pied

>>17232177
>Dior Homme Parfum
like DHI but with leather, sandalwood and roses
>Fahrenheit Parfum
sweeter, modernized take on Fahrenheit. rich and cozy with some vanilla and rum
>Jaipur Homme
delicious floriental with slight barbershop vibes
>Bogart Pour Homme
has some similarities to The Dreamer and Le Male
>Shalimar EDP
the OG creamy, rich iris + vanilla frag with a darker, smokier backbone. fairly unisex by today's standards and easy to sniff at any store
>>17232248
>Dior Homme Parfum
rich, complex, sweet frag with prominent leather and a bit of oud
>Chanel Antaeus
obvious recc if you like Kouros. a bit more restrained and classy but still a musky beast. a lot of darkness and class though
>Chopard Oud Malaki
my favorite of the western "oud" frags that smell nothing like oud. this one focuses less on woody notes and more on tobacco
>Jovoy Psychedelique
dense ambery chocolate cake patchouli

>>17232418
These are some great recommendations, thank you man. Ill sample these as soon as possible.

>getting cooler out, wanna buy some fun new winter frags
>everything I'm looking into is either sold out or seems to be discontinued

>>17232248
You need Zoologist T-Rex, or Diptyque Olene

>>17232269
>japon noir
dry woods, earthy, resinous, powdery. leather, incense, smoke, patchouli, a bunch of dry spices. warm and masculine.
the first few minutes are very dark and harsh, then it lightens up and really shines. lasts all day.
id buy a full bottle if it was still sold in stores. the one i have was purchased at an estate sale, and its almost empty.

>xxx charcoal
old art supplies kept in metal tins, incense, ground wet rocks, black pepper. its pungent.
i think you'll either love it or hate it. i've gotten some looks of disgust when wearing it.

is Dior homme 2020 that bad and boring? whats the age range? im 29 but look younger so i cant really pull off super mature barbershop stuff

>>17232586
Get a sample and try it, or go smell it at a store. There is no age range for frags, just subjectivity on how you perceive yourself and the frag.

>>17232586
Its fine its just quiet reserved and inoffensive
You might like hermes h24

>>17232574
Japon noir sounds interesting
Are there any other underrated tom fords?

>>17232609
Not him but the new dior homme line is compared to BI on frag forums, is it bullshit or are they similar?

>>17232664
would be fun cause that would mean BI is gay shit

Has anyone tried Uncut Gem and Pacific Rock Moss? If so, could you post an opinion?

>>17232664
absolute bullshit kek.

I miss jeremy

>>17232683
>PRM
reminds me of a feminine version of sel marin. has that typical salty/sweet gatorade-like aquatic smell in the opening. very mellow and inoffensive

>>17232748
Sel Marin is sweet?

>>17232664
>is it bullshit or are they similar?
Its bullshit, DH 2020 is an iso e super fragrance that has some almost light floral aspects to it.

>>17232716
What is the quintessential list of women-pleasing frags?

>>17232791
Sauvage edt
One million
Ultra male

>>17232804
>One million
lmao fuck no

>>17232791
1 Million

>>17232805
here's a summary of the reviews

>>17232664
not super similar, bu they're in the same category of "minimalist synthetic woody frags". BI is less boring. I still prefer Terre d'Hermes over both of them though

>>17232791
>>17232814
also the #2 on the list is apparently paco rabanne pour homme, because the captcha says so

>>17232758
yes but not in the way the usual gourmand frag is. it's very subtle

>>17232814
Youtube blind tests say otherwise

Any thoughts about Vilhelm Parfumerie?

>JPG Le Male
>Female manager just asked if I was wearing perfume
oh nononono fragrance bros who memed me into this wtf it's all over

>>17232834
and reviews say otherwise
why would i care, just ask a girl yourself

>>17232878
what is the problem here?

>>17232878
?
you're wearing a fragrance but you didn't want to be smelled? what was your endgame? spray a single spray and hope nobody notices?

also, getting asked whether or not i'm wearing something is usually the most common way the compliments i've gotten have started, if it wasn't any of the girls inside my circle. say yes and ask her if she minds. usually they just say it's good.

>>17232883
>ask a girl
Like who, my mom? I don't know any girls, I just look for "attractive" frags because it's a safe way to feel seductive without ever actually interacting with women

>>17232891
>why yes I am wearing perfume how could you tell

>>17232878
You are wearing perfume, it's not 1975 anymore nobody is still calling all mens fragrances cologne except for 80 year old boomers and brown people from brown countries.

>>17232791
Bois Imperial, Kouros, Ted Lapidus, Eucris, Jules, Gucci Guilty Absolute, Figment, Cerruti 1881, Yatagan, Versace L'Homme, Etruscan Water

>>17232962
What's the minimum amount of chest hair needed to satisfy a woman?

>>17232878
it's polite for "you wear a fragrance as a guy AND of all the frags it's JPG, you fucking faggot get out of my sight". I warned you.

>>17232968
Alot. But just stop fapping, use zinc daily and lift weights, your natural chest hair regrow naturally.

>>17232939
Is this actually a thing?
I'm in my early 20s and just always called mens fragrance cologne, and ladies perfume

>>17232170
What cologne for this look?

>>17233002
I'll fix your fit
>wear a white shirt, unbutton the first button
>take those pants to any taylor and for 5 bucks get them shortened to your correct size
>wear leather brown oxfords that cna match the pants
done, now you look like an adult and not a boomer dad.
only then you will wear:
>Dunhill Icon

that will be 5 dollars sir.

>>17233043
Or I could just ignore you and tell you your taste is shit. :)

>>17233064
He's right though. The guy's giving you advice, no need to get defensive

>>17232968
Enough so that you can have hairy cleavage when you wear a low cut shirt.

>>17232987
yeah "cologne" is getting a bit antiquated since no one actually wears eau de cologne nowadays. most languages don't even distinguish between the two

>>17233002
horrendous shoes, pants don't fit, fat, itoddler

>>17233064
ok fatty, you do you. You should wear JOOP! homme layered with H24.

>>17233002
Terre d'Hermes is the obvious pairing

The more frags I try the more I realize BI is actually good and not a meme

>>17232972
>all the good ones are designed by men
nice try rabbi

The more frags I try the more I realize YSL Y is actually good and not a meme

>>17233120
That's true too, YSL Y is too inoffensive to be bad

The more frags I try the more I realize Sauvage edt is actually good and not a meme

>>17233126
>>17233121

>>17232170
What does you people think of this?

>>17233134
do you* autocorrect

Ordered from FragranceNet Thursday.
Order is marked as shipped but FedEx doesn't have the package yet.
Are they usually this slow?

>>17233134
idk which one that is, cause too many flankers. the whole Gentleman line is pretty good, but feels like a bit of a ripoff of the Dior Homme line but not as distinctive

>>17233136
I have ordered from them before, things took a day or two longer than they maybe should have but not quite that long, im guessing fedex will scan it at some point tonight

>>17233120
>>17233126
Real take, the more frags I try the more I realise I like most of them pretty well and it just feeds my blind buying habit.

>>17233183
Its hard to buy mainstream designer frags that smell bad. People make fun of non enthusiasts that go to sephora, smell three things and buy what the sales girl reccomends but really they are right, and which ome they pick barely even matters.

>>17233199
yeah that's a fair take. I think the only thing I've tried that I didn't really like was Bvlgari Man Terrae Essence. It just had this weird, off sour note to it.

>>17233237
wood neroli best neroli

>>17233238
Is that what it is? I don't recall seeing any mention of neroli on the fragrantica page.

>>17233120
The more frags o try the more I realize Guerlain vetiver is good and not a meme

>>17233002
Why are you wearing snowboarding pants with a jacket?

Azzaro Chrome Extreme actually smells pretty good so far

>>17233112
The more /frag/ threads I read the more I notice how often this comment gets made about BI and the more i realize how annoying and exhausting the shilling gets

>>17233112

>>17233321
no, it's a different flanker of the Bvlgari man line.

>>17233722
but it's true, BI is good, why are you seething

>>17233753
Those are probably it. Some say Whispers in the Library but I can't personally vouch for that one.

>>17233805
the fact it is good was never the point, you just need to shut the fuck up and talk about other frags too, we don't care you own 1 frag in total

>>17233806
Thanks thought so.
Tried under the lemon trees? I heard some people think its smells too cheap like floor cleaner or something

>>17232177
>Cafe Cabanel
save your money and try to sample Lira by Xerjoff or encens suave.
L'air des apes suisses if you like le male and journey man.
the only penhalion i like is terrible teddy.

every frag you love and brought have performance issues.

>>17233829
Ill check them out thank you.
None of the ones that i love or have bought have performance issues on my skin

>>17233817
Most citrus-focused fragrances will have that problem. I didn't find it particularly interesting. Only gave it a store sniff, though, not a full wear.

>>17233810
Stop moderating this thread

>>17233871
stop spamming and trying to monopolise it then, you are not funny nor useful. Create your Quentin Bisch General if you want, I'm sure it will be successful. This is a fragrance general. You owning and liking 1 fragrance is not our problem.

>>17233896
>our
Stop speaking for the entire thread, you're the only one throwing a tantrum here.

>>17233898
I don't care about you or your one man frag thing, I am actually a frag enthusiast unlike you. You are the one shitting up the thread 24/7 and crying when multiple people call you out on your bullshit, I most of the time ignore your spam, you can rest assured the vast majority of people here don't want to discuss just 1 frag every single thread, I'm not even the guy who replied to you initially.

That said, Boisissies are always welcome to pleasure me sexually with their tight mounthpussies and boipussies.

>You are the one shitting up the thread 24/7

you're delusional if you really think that just BI is discussed, lol
your autistic reaction to the "shilling" in every thread is far more annoying

Boisissies have very lackluster reading comprehension and general reading skills, is it caused by their fav perfume are were they born with it?

Noir Extreme, Noir Extreme Parfum, Jazz Club, or l'Homme Ideal Parfum? Im looking for sweeter sexier more alluring perfume for special more romantic or 1 on 1 situations.

No sane, well socially-adjusted person would type that out. Unironically get BI you weirdo maybe it will make you a bit more normal. Also what are your top 10 frags, fragrance-enthusiast? I bet you have shittier taste than most of BIposters

What's the ultimate clubbing scent?

>>17234003
you would think so, ganymede has been genuinly my MOST COMPLIMENETED fragrance ever, and it has also been the only fragrance that felt like an actual needle mover when it came to dating, whilst other fragrances can add 0.25 - 0.5 if you had to put them on a scale, they complete the look, set the mood etc. Ganymede felt like it added 1.0 maybe even 1.25, which for just a fragrance is fucking ridiculous, and because of those experiences it boosted my confidence even more. Try it for yourself. It might just make you feel like a man for the first time in your life, and if you have never had a father, it might just make you understand how big is the hole in your psyche that you need to fill out yourself.

>>17234028
true we should filter it. yes you can. Would be the first time I have to filter something.

>>17234029
where do you live. what clubs are you going to.

>>17234033
how do i do it?

>>17234033
KEK. the fucking sperg is unironicly filtering himself out, and even funnier the retard is samefagging and being an attention whore about it. BI shill is the best thing that happend to this general in years.

>>17234032

>GANYMEDE
>THE FATHER FIGURE YOU NEVER HAD

>>17234036
see this is why i asked about how you filter. This comment holds no value, it is just name calling, dick-riding BI and the classic "samefagging" schizo remark.

>>17234042
no you retarded fucking ape that should have slit his throat long time ago, you are publicly asking this shit because you are an attention whoring samefag that has read one book about psychology and hopes that he can other people filter the BI guy out. If all you wanted is filtering him out, one google search and no posts would have been made. The fact that you can be barely considered human even by american standards doesn't mean that others in this thread are of the same calibre you fucking shoeshining school reject

>>17234032
I did try Ganymede. Unfortunately I'm not the biggest fan of the spicy drydown, it gets annoying imo

People are allowed to like things you dislike, it's no big deal. If you look at this thread, more people are complaining about Bl shitposting than actually shitposting about Bl.
I don't like Ganymede or the JPG flankers for example but I don't filter them out because I'm not an emotional child

>>17234016
Anyone?

>>17234073
why are you so mad that i have filtered it out? I have sampled many frags i dont like, and sure they get mentioned from time to time but not nearly enough to warrent a filter. B.I is just oversaturating this board.

>>17234078
>mad
I'm not the one throwing a tantrum over a perfume, m8. Do what you want, I'm simply pointing out how ridiculous and emotionally stunted this comes off as

>>17234080
You are throwing a tantrum though. Just ignore me, why do you care about me filtering it. It doesnt affect you in any way.

>>17234077
hard to find anything non-designer for BI price.
I'd say look into 30ml-50ml fragrances for the same price, probably some ambers. Ambre Khajandar, Ambre Loup? if you are willing to put more money in, then Ormonde Jayne's Montabaco-flankers have similar vibe as BI.

kek what a deflection

>>17234087
I've been wanting to sample Montabaco yeah. Are there no designer frags on the same level of quality as BI then?
I can pay more if necessary I guess. Though I would rather avoid spending more than 200/100ml

>>17234084
>Just ignore me
Why don't you just ignore the bee-I posts?

>>17234095
i dont need to, i cant see them anymore kek

>>17234098
yes, but before your filtering?
why did you keep sperging and replying everytime it was mentioned, and not just ignore the posts?

>>17234099
never did respond to any b.i post, never will. I saw the comments, bought a sample, didnt like it, got tired of seeing the same recommendations 40 times a thread, and then i asked about how you filter it. I guess the last part could be seen as me trying to "win over" some people on some "anti-B.I side", but i was just asking because google returned no answers. I dont care about the B.I posts, and my only comments on this thread were "how do i filter things" "i found out how to do it".

>>17234032
Kek; it reads like some Patrick Bateman Ganymede Psycho dialogue. These are the shitposts I come here for lmao. Keep posting

>>17234094
>Are there no designer frags on the same level of quality as BI then?
i mean, i'd say most guerlains and chanels are at least on the same level as essential parfums in terms of material/production. but i had thought that the point of BI in terms of pricing is that you get something "niche", in the sense that it's not available in your local stores, for designer-price.

>I've been wanting to sample Montabaco yeah.
give intensivo a shot if it's feasible at all; in a sense you can think of it as paying for a 100ml bottle, since for extraits you can cut down the number of spritzes by at least half. i.e., i tend to go 4-6 spritz of BI but 2-3 spritz of Montabaco Intensivo, since it's so strong.

done. works like a charm.

I'm gonna go drive some girl friends to a place just cause I want to drive.

>>17234032
good post. worth mentioning that there was an anon talking about how ganymede has salvaged his relationship with his mother

>>17234105
>in the sense that it's not available in your local stores
I guess. What I like about it is that it's different from everything else I've smelled and yet it has a very conventionally attractive scent profile that makes it so easy to wear for all occasions (except maybe dates and formal events I would assume)

I will try it out. When it comes to tobacco frags I've only ever tried The Dreamer and Jazz Club, liked both, I'm thinking I should also sample Chergui. I'm trying to avoid scents that are too weird or too much of an acquired taste, the point for me is also to smell attractive.

Alright I ordered my next batch of samples and if after that there's still nothing I can conceivably see myself adopting as a signature scent I'll just default back to BI and leave this general forever. This "hobby" is honestly a waste of money. Any "hobby" that only involves passively consuming products is worthless

Rien is the only true chemical weapon core scent I've tried so far. not only is it strong as fuck, it's also harsh and unpleasant to most people

>>17234113
>conventionally attractive scent profile that makes it so easy to wear for all occasions
yes, I fully agree with you here and it's the main reason I own a bottle too. When I think of my own fragrance collection, then Montabaco Intensivo is definitely by second pick when it comes to this - ambers are not conventional in summer, fougeres require certain formal attires etc..

>>17234113
>The Dreamer and Jazz Club, liked both, I'm thinking I should also sample Chergui
don't be fooled by the "tabaco"-in the name of the fragrance; it's not your generic tobacco-fragrance primarly - it's much more light, airy, woody interpretation of a tobacco fragrance. chergui is nice, but I think there are about 10 different amber/tobacco fragrances before I'd buy it. it's definitely a "warm" fragrance, if that's what you are looking for the winter.

>I'm trying to avoid scents that are too weird or too much of an acquired taste
yes, this is also a strength of BI for sure, and also shared by Montabaco Intensivo imo. i'd say dreamer or jazz club are much more controversial when it comes to "general opinions".

but now i feel like i've shilled my recent favourite too much, so feel free to have some second opinions, as well.

Really? I thought Chergui was supposed to be the niche reference for tobacco. What else do you have in mind?
>"warm"
Yeah, something warm to contrast BI's freshness would be nice.
>dreamer or jazz club are much more controversial
The Dreamer yeah, it's not for everyone, the opening is very harsh and the drydown isn't mass pleasing. Jazz Club though is really inoffensive and generic sexy imo.

>>17233977
Naxos

>>17234144
for tobacco exploration you need to try naxos and don from xerjoff, fan your flames from nishane

>>17234139
EDB isn't really a date scent in my opinion, way too smoky.

>>17234144
>Chergui was supposed to be the niche reference for tobacco. What else do you have in mind?
well, I feel like Serge Lutens is your second step on your fragrance journey, after going through the generic designer stuff. so this of course depends on your own taste and how deep you are in the rabbit hole, so maybe I gave a little wrong advice - go for chergui first and then expand from there. but when I think of tobacco-fragrances, they are stuff like memory motel, tobacco rose or tabac dore, where the tobacco is the prominent note - as for chergui and jazz club they are mainly ambers.

>Yeah, something warm to contrast BI's freshness would be nice.
then try one of the "thicker" ambers, such as chergui or ambre khandjar

>Jazz Club though is really inoffensive and generic sexy imo.
I haven't smelled it in years but I don't recall it being a flexible or wearable fragrance. and just as with side effect, probably majority like the overly sweet combination of tobacco into vanilla and rum, but must be off-putting to some. but sure, it's on the more "likeable" side of frags, I guess.

>>17234156
Thanks for the advice anon
>majority like the overly sweet combination
People in general and especially women seem to love very sweet frags for some reason.

fake niche garbage

I sold a bunch of impulse buys and cheapies I only kept these 5. Little by little I will continue my collection from here, I will try to sample more niches too since I sold some that I bought blindly - big mistake.

>CH Men Privé
It is a bottle from 2015, first batch. Lasts +12h. The current formulation is not worth it, it lasts less than a Zara perfume and has less character. I never understood why they call it a "bad boy fragrance", to me it seems very tender and comfortable kek. a bad boy would smell like Gucci Guilty Absolute. And yes, it works very well with women.

>Lalique Hommage a l'Homme
The best Lalique fragrance together with EN Sport. Very similar to Fahrenheit although a bit more soapy. It only cost me 11€ and it is my best blind purchase.
It makes me feel formal, and like a father who has 5 children and goes to church every Sunday. Great with a white shirt.

>Chanel Allure Edition Blanche
Totally destroyed by Chanel's reformulations, it lasts 3 hours. But it's still one of the best designer fragrances I've ever smelled.

>JeP Neroli Intense
Yes, /fa/ forced me to buy it. I have used it a lot this summer to go to work and have received positive comments even though I stop smelling it after an hour. Cheap and nice.

>Dunhill Century
I love it, similar to Santal 33 but a little bit more mature, clean and masculine. A lot of neroli, sandalwood and cypriol. You can feel the quality both in the bottle and in the smell
It lasts 8-9 hours, which is incredible for the price because I found it in an offer for €15/75ml

Hello, fellow SEXer

So Jeremy is confirmed fucked?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=khUK7bfiQNA

Seems so.

>>17234517
Honestly, at the price they have and their performance, I do not recommend buying either of them.

Blanche basically smells like vanilla, vetiver and lemon, think in a lemon pie. It is less versatile than the extreme but in terms of smell it seems better to me and less generic

The extreme is a powdery mentholated mandarin with creamy woods and a lot of tonka. i know, sounds weird but i cant describe it better. More mature than the Blanche, extremely versatile for the whole year and occasion, today both have the same duration but before the extreme was a beast.

If you want a fragrance for spring-summer buy Blanche, if you want a fragrance for the whole year, to please others and night-time, Extreme.

You can try HM by Hanae Mori if it is sold in your country, even blind buy, it is a very cheap fragrance and with a vibe similar to Blanche.

Buying a full bottle of the dreamer was a mistake
I like it, but it's unwearable. I just spray it on my bedsheets sometimes

>>17234612
it's very wearable, just on the sweeter/unisex side, but with character and dreamy. Just wait autumn. I honeslty don't get people saying the opening is harsh, the worst possible thing I can think about it is that it's unisex, feminine leaning. It's so good. Okay performance too for a modern cheapie. Iconic bottle and box.
Wear. It.

>>17234655
I think it smells too cheap

>>17234612
Ehould have gotten l'homme instead, its the 80s version of dreamer with a nice soapy mossy white musk base

>>17234657
smells like sweet lavender to me, love the opening, fairly linear, floral, airy a bit. Perfect gift to a girl you like honestly if you are not gonna wear it. Which you should. It's not overly complex but it has the right vibes that I have not smelled before in a designer. Such an appropriate name. For once, the shilling was correct.

>>17234662
I'm not saying it's bad at all, just that I personally can't see myself wearing it
I do agree with the dreamy vibe but I'm looking something that smells more refined and expensive. A niche or at least higher quality dreamer if you will

>>17234661

>>17234668

But its still lacking the now completely banned aromachem that made the original formula magical they just gave up on trying to make it some soft vanilla bullshit like the edp and tried to get closer to what the edt used to be.

>>17234857
that's cheating, I meant a reformulation that's better than the OG when it came out, not a reformulation that is better than the previous reformulation

don't have anything under 100, I hate the "consumability" of things, I don't want to be bothered by using too much and running out. But I agree that 100 will last years. Will buy 50 next time I buy something that's not a good everyday scent though
>>17235437

>>17235040
Try antaeus, it reminds me of a more "tame" kouros like a fancier smell but still having that animalic dimension

>>17235109
it's not dated. in general, no frag released after 2000 is dated aside from the super popular ones like 1 million
it does have bad performance though, at least nowadays

>>17235440
>what the fuck
This is how I do it:
1) I get a sample or decant
2) If I like it, I buy the smallest bottle
3a) When it's empty and I really liked it and always want to have it available, I buy a big bottle
3b) I can buy and enjoy something new

>>17235440
I also do the same. I always aim to buy 10ml travel sized spritzers. There’s simply too many fragrances 1. In my rotation and 2. That I have yet to try that it is impractical to commit the capital to purchasing 100 ml of a single frag.

>>17235109
To me it is an awesome cold weather scent, yeah the longevity is ass as some say but i got decent performance from it. Also i don't really care if something is DATED, i have 10 frags and only 3 are post 2000, all of the others are from 90s and 80s lol, if you enjoy something spray away

>>17235236
Big bottle, but I will have tested the fragrance beforehand.
100 mL last 3-4 months with daily wear, so small bottles would be costly quick.

Youre just making up these names don’t you?

Ok lads, I’m going to honest with you. I am one of the BI “shills”. I haven’t been here for a while but there were several of us. I wast just doing it for shits and giggles. I just thought it was funny to make some anons angry. I also though it was funny that some anons ordered a sample/full bottle because of me. I can’t really say that I was trolling because I was being sincere and everything I wrote was true.

Don’t get me wrong. I wear BI every day and it’s my signature scent. It is ridiculous how many compliments it has gotten me, but to be honest I don’t even like it. I don’t understand why people love it so much but they do.

Glad I god that off my chest. It was fun while it lasted but I’m leaving this place because I’m seeing a girl and we are exclusive. I decided to not spend as much time on the internet. And no, BI is not the reason why she likes me, but yes she told me that I smell really good so I guess it was a factor in the equation.

So yeah godspeed faggots, you are all going to make it. I believe in all of you (even the salty faggots who hate BI). This will be the last you hear of me. Fair well. Pip pip cheerio

>>17235463
Wait, I shit on L'Oreal a lot but not because of Bleu Electrique. Performance for the LNDL frags was always poor but LNDL BE lasts long on clothes for me.

I shit on them because I know what they did to AdG Profumo. That stuff was room-filling and my gym reeked of it. You could smell it outside the doors. I ordered a bottle of the stuff when I smelled it at a store and immediately realized that this was the gym stank, purely because it was so powerful. What I received was merely a shadow of Profumo. Over the coming months, the Profumo smell in my gym subsided. I thought the usual people in there had stopped wearing it, but when you come closer to them, you can still smell it. They just have gotten new bottles, too.
Same thing with Spicebomb and Spicebomb Extreme. My uncle was an avid Spicebomb wearer, nuclear projection. He still wears it, but his original bottle ran out. Could literally only smell him once since and it was because we were sitting next to each other at a family gathering. My bottle of SBE is properly weak. I had that stuff on the back of my hand after a store visit and it was really strong. Waited for a sale (took a while), bought a bottle. Sprayed it on my hand the same way, and it became a skin scent quickly.

Overall, I have no nuclear L'Oreal stuff anymore, besides my bottle of Pure Havane, which has been discontinued. They've discontinued all the strong stuff or watered it down. Meanwhile when I go shopping at other designer houses, I somehow receive strong and long-lasting bangers.

SOTD L'Air du Desert Marocain, of which I still need to order a full bottle. If that stuff doesn't match the sample in performance, may God have mercy on Tauer's mailbox.

>>17235480

I was going to order it because I remember trying it back in 2012 and loving it

>>17235485
extreme is still fine for a date fragrance, you don't need to pajeet the entire restaurant with it

>>17235502
I liked the original. Haven't tried Extreme but as I understand it's sweeter, I liked how the original Spicebomb was spicy but not too sweet

>>17235503
Well, since I'm stuck with my bottle of SBE let me tell you that OG Spicebomb is more interesting. SBE is underwhelmingly spicy, for the most part it's just shitloads of warm vanilla. You could call this Vanilla Extreme and skip the Spicebomb name. Of course, "warm vanilla" is a very attractive and alluring type of scent, which is why it's also so overdone.

>>17235509
>"warm vanilla" is a very attractive and alluring type of scent
Would you say SBE is the best in that category or do other frags do it better?
Anyway, is OG Spicebomb performance Cool Water tier at this point or is it still usable?

>>17235512
Can't speak for it 100%, since my OG Spicebomb experience is basically secondhand. It has gotten worse, but not sure by how much. Best to stop for a spray at a store by now. in any case, it appears to be a lot weaker now.

>>17235512
>Would you say SBE is the best in that category or do other frags do it better?
different anon here, but I think it's really overrated. smells generic and unrefined
Eau des Baux is better and is like half the price. This is Him, Tobacco Vanille, Noir Extreme, Jaipur, even the OG Le Male... they all do the whole "vanilla and spices" thing better

>>17235516
I'll sample it first then. This makes me sad, Spicebomb used to be great

Uh oh

Did i already mentioned that i adore white girls?

Damn I'm kind of underwhelmed by my MFK samples so far
Gentle Fluidity Silver smells really generic to me. It's a good frag, seems very versatile and wearable all year round, it's soft, classy, fresh and masculine. But at that price point I expected something more interesting. It reminds me of a popular designer frag whose name I forgot.
BR540 is pretty nice but not as good as the hype makes it seem. It's more feminine than masculine imo, and it does seem to have good projection. Not a huge fan of the saffron but it might smell better on a girl.
I expected better, maybe the drydowns will surprise me though.

>>17235549
bald and bankrupt

>>17235556
you really cannot pull "I forgot this really popular frag name" card after calling gentle fluidity silver generic, yes it is an everyday scent, but finding another fragrance with such a perfect juniper note that manages to make it everyday wearable is extremely hard. As for baccarat different strokes for different folks, there exists a tiziana tirenzi version of it, spirito fiorentino I belive, and it is much more masculine

Hope you got the BR540 Extrait. It's one of those frags I'd easily gift to a girl, but it is indeed unwearable as a man.

I doubt it's going to be your liking either, all MFK fragrances are supposed to be wearable but intresting, and yes almost all of them are very linear, thats the entire thing, it's everyday art thats not screaming to be noticed, it's subtle. Very similiar to the current meme of ganymede and BI, they are also everyday masterpieces.

Don't pay much heed to what I said about it reminding me of a designer frag, it's just an impression.
>>17235585
That's strange because I love BI.
Some frags grow on you though, maybe I'll end up liking the MFKs after I try them again.

Grand Soir is actually ever so slightly more complex than the other ones, although it's just the opening. It's true that they are all linear, but personally, I don't mind that if the performance is good.

The performance definitely seems good, BR540's projection is annoying actually, I can barely smell GFS unless I stick my nose in my forearm.
>linear
That's not really my gripe with them. BR540 is good, I actually don't like saffron much on my skin (find it annoying in Ganymede's drydown especially coupled with the immortelle) but it's an interesting scent. It doesn't smell very sweet to me though. GFS isn't bad either and I can't deny that it's well composed, it's just that there's nothing so special about it that I could justify paying for a full bottle.

See, I for example really value that I can have something very special like GFS for everyday use and I find the price acceptable.
