The Fragrance Groups 101 chart

The fragrance flowchart for beginners

>>17237577
When does fragrancebuy or any other online discounters usually restock?

>>17237577
Based. All you need is this, thrash the other foul smells.

Soon enough I shall collect finish my BR450 DNA collection.

THIS SHIT IS SOLD OUUT LITERALLY EVERYWHERE IM GONNA FUCKING LLOSE MY MIND

>>17237610
Let the plebs wear it, buy Bois Imperial instead and steal they GF's

>>17237594
based as hell

>>17237610
isn't this dior giga homo intensso v2?

>>17237614
Redpill is if everyone wore BI you would hate it. youre just trying to be a special snowflake

Why are BI haters always so petty, angry and agressive?

>>17237624
cope. sethee. and slit it.

>>17237615
Hnnngg...

Post your fall rotation.

>>17237626
as twitter trannies would phrase it.
no bitches?

>>17237633
I guess they do sound very frustrated

>>17237626
I odnt know maybe its because you guys keep shitting up every thread with it. Talk about something else like holy shit we get it you wanna fuck your bottle

>>17237632

>>17237624
just like they hate Sauvage, which is a great frag.
>>17237626
you guys are funny alright

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.

>>17237650
Sauvage is fine, it's just overdone. There is no need to be seething

>>17237632
These are pretty much my fall line but I'm sure I'll have a few samples in the mix.

>>17237640
there's plenty of talk about other frags, retard

>>17237662
Are loewe frags good?
Is bois d'argent redundant as a woody frag if I have bee aye

>>17237667
Yes, they are
>>17237662
That Loewe is great, better than Aventus.

>>17237594
I will steal your gf

>>17237670
>Yes, they are
Which are the best ones?

>>17237632
YVS LNDL EB
and then when it gets colder and darker
D&G The One EDP

>>17237667
Loewe has a handful or pretty good ones imo. Of the ones I tried I enjoyed Esencia EDP, 7, and 7 Cobalt the most. Especially Esencia EDP. Got a bottle and it's now pretty much my signature frag all year except winter.
Bois d'Argent and BI are fundamentally different perfumes. Yes they both have woody noted but other than that there is pretty much zero overlap.

>>17237670
>That Loewe is great, better than Aventus.
Fully agree. I love it. To me it's like a more mature and refined Aventus with more green and woodiness instead of smoke and pineapple. It's just overall smoother and more classy.

Enjoying the last days where you can wear Summer Freshies like Eau Givrée

>>17237672
-Loewe 7 anónimo if you like smoky leather and incense. for me, it's the best one.

-Loewe 7 if you like apple, pepper, and incense.

-Loewe Esencia EDP if you want imo the best take on Aventus DNA

-Loewe 001 Man EDP if you like Dior Homme

-Loewe Esencia EDT if you like Drakkar Noir and Polo Green. Is a classic here in Spain.

I think that you can buy their discovery set on loewe website

>>17237677
loewe stuff is impossible to sample but I don't usually blind buy. what I'm currently lacking in my rotation is something for the colder months as well as something classy for special occasions and nights, do any of them fit?

>>17237686
>you can buy their discovery set on loewe website
oh that's nice I wasn't aware, thanks anon

>>17237688
Don't blind buy anything.

>>17237717
Have you tried it? or is this entirely FOMO because you found out its sold out everywhere?

>>17237727
i sampled it

>>17237577
Based Antaeus, the only frag a real man needs. Besides Cool Water.

This is what he looks like >>17237257

>>17237774
fucking based

>>17237774
does he get you horny boy? bet it does, a powerfull turk reeking of B| absolutely obliterating your iris smelling backdoor huh?

>>17237591
Never, so it seems.

>>17237632
I don't really have one. I just wear whatever from my collection depending on my mood that day. I do wanna get more fall/winter scents though since most of what I have is warm weather leaning.

is the any way to find a antaeus sample in the usa?

>Bois d'Argent is 240 euros for 125ml
jesus

>>17237802
My like bois de fraudulent

>>17237800
Nope, sorry a firend of mine looked everywhere and couldn't find one. He ended up buying a vintage sample vial on ebay for $20 which might not be a bad choice if you can find it but the vintage is supposedly a bit louder than the current version.

>>17237745
And Bois Imperial

>>17237745
>>17237835
Give me an alternative for Antaeus, I already have the two others. Not necessarily something similar, just something very good and elegant fit for F/W.

>>17237836
Amouage gold man

>>17237836
It's similar mossy, but more green animalic.

>>17237839
Would prefer something sub 200 for 100ml
>>17237842
Seems too hypermasculine without the floral darkness that balances out Antaeus but I'll try it out

>>17237802
It's god tier though.

>>17237847
>Would prefer something sub 200 for 100ml
Amouages go for $160 all day on discounters/ebay just buy from reputable sellers and its fine.
Anyway that said gold man is probably not for you, its really fucking out there and much better for middle eastern tastes

>>17237853
Shitty performance, why not go with bois Imperial instead? It's the better woody frag.

Well, I ended up omitting that they sent me a 110 $ woman frag instead of my 20 $ cheapie and told them my frag was missing, and they refunded me, I'm gonna gift the frag to my loving redhead shortstack GF.

So should I buy again Ted Lapidus Pour Homme Sport? I am looking for a cheapie that is:
>for everyday wear, every season
>fav accord: aromatic, fresh spicy, citrusy, green
>long lasting, possibly NUCLEAR
>cheapie

But maybe I should get something for colder seasons, I thought about the OG Ted Lapidus pour Homme, unfortunately while I like the 80ies I hate animalics/pissy/fecal frags like Kouros and Antaeus, and people tend to agree TLPH is in their same ballpark.
Any reccommendation? Maybe I should just rebuy SUNG or get the longer lasting Drakkar Noir clone EDP... I like aftershavy frags.

Any opinions about the Ted Lapidus PH line is also very welcome, maybe I just need someone pushing me to buy TLPH

>>17237859
>Shitty performance
That's a myth. You just go noseblind to it pretty fast.

Complete newb here when it comes to perfumes.
I'm 24, live in southern Europe (hot weather, never snows, never goes below 15 degrees celcius). I don't like fruity/sweet notes and would prefer something somewhat 'edgy'. I'm generally described as social and the kind of person who doesn't give a fuck, but is trusted to get shit done and is looked upon for my nature often described as 'rebellious' and 'doesn't fit norms'.
I'm looking to use the perfume mainly for dates, dinners and the occasional party. Any anon can provide some guidance here?

>>17237892

>>17237896
Cheers man, will look into this. One thing I've forgot to add, I was looking at Tom Ford Ombre Leather and might go give it a try. At the same time though I don't want to smell like a boomer dad, and am looking for something that doesn't fall in that category

>>17237902
maybe check out some vetivers. They still kinda smell like boomer dad, but less so than leather frags. And they give off that serious and dilligent but still "doesnt fit the norms" vibe.

>>17237892
bois imperial.

>>17237892
Don't get Fahrenheit its for older guys, unless your are the gruff type.
Maybe ombre leather from tom ford
Maybe encre noir al extreme
Maybe Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir
Possibly some other leather scents
Go to a store that sell fragrances, ask for some dark spicy or leathery frags, smell a few on paper. Ones you like spray one on each forearm, walk around for 15-20 minutes and make sure they smell good still and you still like them. Then buy the one you like.

>>17237892
it's an EDT but i think it meets your criteria

>>17237774
>>17237257
What a fucking Chad. Now we want to see a photo of the BI hating schizo with a timestamp for a good measure?

>>17237704
Looks shitty. Is this some midwest small city nightclub? Some clubs I have been going to had Aventus and GIT. No need for that though as I’m hitting clubs tonight wearing BI

You want to smell mature, competent but also pleasant and approachable in a professional setting. What do you spray?

So what's the best tobacco-centered frag that isn't a sweet mess

>>17238074
Would be interested too, dunno why faggots love they tobacco not raw and unsweetened.
>tobacco vanille
My ass.

>>17237987
Seconding Bois Imperial if you want to smell unique on top of all of that too

>>17237610
DHI, Le Male Le Parfum or Noir Extreme. Relax baby

>>17238074
>So what's the best tobacco-centered frag that isn't a sweet mess
Sample tabac vert from rogue perfumery, its a green tobacco chypre

>>17238107
>rogue perfumery
Eurobros...

>>17238074
I wouldn't call naxos a sweet mess. It is sweet for sure, but it's elegant.
Meo Fusciuni shukran, smells of rolling tobacco with freshly picked mint, unbelivably natural, have never smelled anything similiar to it, fantastic all year round fragrance, albeit linear.
Other tobacco frags that fit your description:
Bois Sikar Atelier des Ors
Smoke Akro
Iron Duke BeauFort London
Vi Et Armis BeauFort London

>>17238114
There are multiple European vendors that stock rougue. He completely went back on his fuk the IFRA thing and now says all his fragrances were always ifra compliant. I think he might be doing something a little cheeky, like using veramoss over the amount he is allowed to since lab tests wont show how much he uses.

ysl y for signature summer scent? need beast mode summer frag for the ladies

>>17238160
Try these two, both are real Beats mode and cheaper than Y.

Cool Water Intense - 2019
Kenzo Homme EDT INTENSE - 2021

>>17238176
Beast* sorry kek

>>17238176
>Kenzo Homme EDT INTENSE - 2021
Really based choice, CW original is better, though.

>BI hating schizo
you do realize that almost everyone except you troons that spam about it hates you and probably hasn't smelled it since it's not worth it

>>17238221
no, you're pretty much through. after this there is only shitloads of niche sampling, assuming you've tried everything else at stores.

>>17238231
you do realize that almost everyone just doesn't care about the BI posts and isn't emotionally unstable?

The anti Dior Homme schizo really needs to stop forcing his thoughts down our throats. DHI is a fantastic sensual fragrance that anyone of any sexuality can wear. Cope and seethe.

You guys always recommend the same boomer ass fragrances

Are you located in the US? I’m confused why you’re finding difficulty purchasing because I am able to go to any mall and buy this. It’s also available for purchase directly from the Valentino site.

Is this good? I remember smelling it when it just came out. Had a nice vanilla smell (I think).

>omw to Fragrantica to tag perfumes for which I have samples as "I have it"

>>17238485
What kinda stank are you into anon? I'm no expert but I can try to recommend some stuff.

thoughts on mugler alien man?

>>17237864

Sport is an odd, Musky-floral frag. Not extremely green or citrusy. It lasts a decent while though, but not as thermonuclear as its cousins. Bogart Force Majeure fits your bill, but it is slowly becoming unobtanium.

For winter wise based on your criterion, go with Bogart OMS or OMS Ruby. I don't know about OMS Emerald, but that might fit your bill better than either of those, if not to the hyperpower of Ruby/Oud/Gold. Other more obscure Bogarts might also do the trick (Story line, etc).

Rate my fall lineup

>>17238720
Haven't tried any of them and can't see what's in the back (unless that's not part of the lineup?) but Tobacco Vanille and By the Fireplace both sound nice.

Pretty good nighttime fall frag. Wish it was in the signature blend lineup because in no fucking scenario would I pay $400 for a 100 ml

>>17237646

Your choices are very good, but for an noob. And bin the antaeus ofc.

>>17238955
>favorite cardamon
Halloween Man Shot
Bleu Electrique

>>17238955
all dogshit, blue electrique flanker and hermes voyage for designer-tier cardamom

>>17238485
Of course we do. If you want current trends, you can go to YouTube. They will give you endless lists of shit that's currently popular.
You could also just straight up go to the store and the lady there will recommend you everything that's a guaranteed sale for her.
The last option is buying whatever is on top of the fragrantica and parfumo lists. There will be a lot of popular expensive stuff, but you can sample that stuff to see if you like it.

>>17238935
No.

>>17238485
I've come to see that the "boomer" frags have more depth and are more interesting than the newer releases, not saying everything nowadays is bad, but the majority is just boring. Yeah zino, antaeus, koruos, polo green are unusual frags compared to modern ones but that is what makes them interesting for me and worth wearing desu

>>17237577
What are some daddy fragrances?

>>17238905
You could try Au Coeur du Desert. To me they are a bit redundant, though. Some say ACDD is just LADDM in higher concentration, but to me LADDM is a bit more balanced. Nothing I have sampled comes close to either, but then again there is much left to sample.

>>17238955
LNDL Bleu Electrique is good designer cardamom softened with a soapy vibe. Le Male Le Parfum is good, but doesn't have as much cardamom.

>>17239008
80-90s fougeres (Drakkar Noir, Cool Water, Azzaro Pour Homme, etc.)

Reminder that my image has been included in that collection and I would never wear Bois Imperial, since it's not just mediocre but also not well received by anyone around me.

>>17239101
Me.
It literally smells like a burnt tire, and the bottle is less cool in person.

>>17239115
yeah well the top pic doesn't even have bi and the bottom left one appears to be from a salesman at a store of whatever, so that's to be expected
filtering is really the best option here

>>17239120
Imagine raging impotently at a perfume on the internet

>>17239115
>he's going on again about how BI is bad because his ugly ass got rejected by two women or whatever
Just get over it man. BI is objectively very well made, you just sound frustrated on top of having poor taste.

>>17239120
So it's 3 timestamped full bottles then? That's it? Damn, that's pretty weak. There's probably more Sauvage in this thread.

>>17239123
>objectively
explain what makes a perfume objectively well made

>>17239128
It smells good to me
My tastes are objectively superior, therefore they should be considered the benchmark for assessing a fragrance's quality
You sound like a bugman

>>17239123
I like that I'm so rent-free in your head that you're keeping tabs.

BI is mediocre.

>>17239120
>yeah well the top pic doesn't even have bi
wtf, you're right
will be removed in the next version

>>17239131
> BI is mediocre
Tell us your top 5 fragrances and post a photo of bottles and we will judge your taste

>>17239131
>rent-free
Dude you post your pathetic story in every thread almost. At this point everyone knows you tried BI, got shut down by two girls because you're creepy and ugly, and this made you hate the frag. Stop posting about your sad life and people won't embarrass you then
BI is exceptional. You are seething
>>17239133
He's either not going to do it or post things that are extremely safe to like or considered good by everyone like Turin's top picks

>>17239060
>this is what the average BI chad looks like
How do the anti BI virgins compare, I wonder... probably pasty and chinless

>>17239133
I have posted plenty of pics, some of them get reposted quite often. I will tell you my top 5 once I have sampled every frag.

>>17239134
You made the story. I didn't make it. It's entirely written by you, all I said was that BI is mediocre and that I asked two girls about their opinions and neither liked it either. It's in your head, anon, it lives there rent-free and it will never leave you alone. I live there rent-free. It drives you mad, your posts show it.

>>17239140
>didn't post his top 5
>still coping and seething
Your posts are worthless and your concession is accepted. Keep throwing tantrums about fragrances on the internet, loser

>>17239140
>r-r-rent free
Whatever helps you cope with being ugly and unliked by women. You should try BI, maybe it would help with your bitterness and lack of self-confidence.

>>17239143
At least I'm not shilling a mediocre IKEA smell. I hereby concede. BI is mediocre but I concede. Not sure what exactly I concede, but I hope it lets you finally sleep at night.

Why is Bois Impérial so polarizing on here? It's just good and easy to wear. I could understand that kind of shitposting for a frag that's not as mass pleasing, but BI is like a niche take on blue showergel frags. Are there this many noselets here?

SOTD: five sprays of Bois Impérial

>>17237662
Can you tell me a bit about Ex Voto? It sounds really good. Where did you get it?

>>17239147
>BI is mediocre
Better than whatever garbage you wear, I guarantee it. Your opinion has already been invalidated, you have been blown the fuck out, just stop embarrassing yourself by displaying your pedestrian taste.

>>17239148
i have asked in the last thread where somebody already claimed that bi is blueshit:
is that true? i wanted to order a sample, but upon reading that i thought that pepper, woods and ambroxan pretty much do sound like a sausage clone.

>>17237892
>>17237902
yeah, get Ombre Leather for an edgy but sexy leather frag + something from the Encre Noire line for a dark woody sort of frag

>>17239153
It smells nothing like Sauvage, it's like a completely new take on ambroxan frags. It's more bluish-green than blue really, the spices and woods take the center stage and the ambrofix comes out more noticeably in the drydown.

>>17237987
terre d'hermes

Remember, if you are here for non BI content just filter it.

>>17238074
guerlain vetiver has some tobacco and no sweetness, but it isn't really a predomnantly tobacco frag

>>17239158
thanks, i will skip it then. got enough of spices and woods with ambroxan.

>>17239161
Filtering is such a pathetic pussy move kek. Oh no can't deal with words on a screen? You might enjoy reddit more, noselet.

Get yourself a bottle of B01$ 1MP3R14L, it'll help make you less of a sad faggot

>>17239165
kek, that reaction to being filtered

>>17239164
People tend to downplay the ambery backbone of B--I but if you don't like blue frags I think you probably won't like it, yeah.

>>17238543
don't listen to the other retard, he's probably the pseud trying to cope with getting scammed by Roja who calls every frag below 200$ "shit for npc noobs"
This is Him is great. even Luca Turin gave it a high rating IIRC

Fellow chads, all jokes aside, are there any scents you've tried that check all the boxes like B__s I______l does?

>>17239177
>people are discussing a good fragrance on a fragrance general, this is upsetting
Filtering is easy if you're not a newfag, it's in the built in settings. Go ahead pussy

>>17239178
I want to say LDDM but I don't know if it's as mass-pleasing.

amber and vanilla? really nigga?

I’m having hard time to choose which one will take the place of “all around winter-fall fragrance” what do you guys think?

>>17239255
i think you need to reevaluate your choices

>>17239255
layton=best for cold weather, unique scent.
tf leather is generic

>>17239265
>layton=unique scent.
Maybe Layton Exclusif, which I haven't smelled, but Layton is copied 1:1 in Detour Noir. Sadly, they matched Detour Noir to the new Layton formulation as well, so you still get Layton 1:1 but the new formulation.
Also, it's just an iteration of the now discontinued Boss Bottled Intense, and many people get Boss Bottled vibes from the new Layton formulation. As with almost everything from PdM, it is a more "refined" copy of something that has existed before.

>>17239244
yes nigga. From my experience they will want to get much closer to you just to smell it, and they wont get enough of it

>>17239255
both are fine. ombre leather is a bit more unique.

I've never used fragrance in my life

Thoughts on these?

>>17239308
Thought on this?

Forgot pic kek

>>17239310
Absolutely perfect beginner fragrance. Many never go past that single bottle. Once you have it, there's no point in buying any other designer fragrances. If you think fragrances would be something you might be more interested in, straight up move into niche frag sampling.

>>17239255
OL makes me nauseous after a few hours. PDM is fake niche overpriced dogshit

so, how is this different to any other blue fragrance? just smelled it, and smells exactly like a generic showergel

I think BI fag hates fragrances and wants this general dead. There's no reason to spam since people who truly love fragrances aren't just shills for one only. It's fucking psychotic and they should be banned for the sake of discussion

>>17239310
probably one of the best entry fragrances out there, just like anon said beforehand, but still do not blind buy any fragrances sample first, go out to the store and spray it on your arm, always check every fragrance on your skin, papers are bullshit. Spray on arm, fuck off from the shop and see how the fragrance evolves and performs over the next few hours.

>>17239319
do you actually know what a blue fragrance is? cedrat boise is a synthetic sweet and sour mess, but not blue or showergel-ish, at least not to me.

>>17239317
>>17239321
>the gynecomasstige faggot is back
I could provide evidence that the highest quality posts in the past 4 -5 threads have all been made by the B! council but I wont, I also won't even comment on your redditor tier echo-chamber mindset of trying to silence facts. I expect nothing less from you than running the fuck away like you did at the begging of the year once your opinions were challenged.

>>17239335
I have no idea what you are talking about. All I know is that you've been shitting up the board for the last month or two and need to stop. Take your meds or go be schizo somewhere else

>>17239331
do YOU actually know what a blue fragrance is?
>synthetic sweet and sour mess
>not showergel-ish
???
even worse
>blue
>or showergel
those are synonymous, but you already know that right?

>>17239321
I only shitpost about B[I] because it makes you seethe.

>>17239335
The highest quality posts period are made by b1schads. I can't be bothered to search the archive but just look at the very nuanced discussion we had about bee eye and Ganymede just a few weeks ago. Anti bee eye losers complain about us but none of them make effortposts like we do.

>>17239338
you really talking about shitting up an ENTIRE board, the board in question being /fa/. in 2022. there is no way you are a human.

>>17239354
He is delusional, do not engage

Are these kind of videos worth watching if I want to know women's opinion? In this video majority chooses Sauvage over BDC, why would I buy BDC?

https://youtu.be/7kptvBtq3Z4

>>17239317
Why PDM get so much hate here?

>>17239350
>>17200402

>>17239360
because you enjoy it more? because it's not like bdc isn't widely appealing to females. because due to the fact you enjoy it more you are more confident whilst wearing it. because those videos are nowhere near enough to being a complete data set that would provide definite information on what works and what doesn't. and even if it did, there are still circumstances such as it being a tad more unique, racial and cultural differences in preferance.
and the hardest pill to swallow, ovewhelming majority of fragrances won't cross the barrier of adding 0.25/10 to how people perceive you, the most elite of elite ones will add up to 0.5/10 and anything above that is within the mythological category and is either talking about the absolute god tier fragrances, or legendary fragrances boosted due to some obscenely beneficial circumstances.

gynecomasstige fag, but also PDM is known for making higher quality versions of popular scents, so they are not very orginal and aim for mass appeal, and most newfags into niche are not ready to appreciate highquality inoffensive everyday frags, and sure even within that category PDM is, as zoomers would say "mid", because Sir Quentin and Mr. Kurkdjian have made masterpieces, wearable art, that gets better the more you smell it, and yet it's not because of some insane ammount of evolutions it does, but because of the subtle complexity and how easy they are to wear at the same time.

>>17239310
I only tried the parfum version and didn't like it at all. Smelled like musky shower gel. Didn't get any woods.

Been wearing a sample of this for the past 3 hours, and started to enjoy it quite a lot started of a bit incensy, now it's burnt sugar candy floss, peanuts and old patchouli, really intresting and enjoyable, definitly deserves a few global wears.
Anything else you would recommend from the brand? Any stand outs?

>>17239383
>fake niche
>explain
PDM pretends to be an independent company when they are wholly owned and created by a fragrance conglomerate to fill the purpose of looking like an independent niche brand (and charging the prices to match)
Also most of their fragrances are clones of popular successful fragrances.
The allure of nich is supposed to be talented perfumers being given a chance to explore and make fragrances that don't necessarily have mainstream appeal for the sake of art. But pdm exists to sell amped up clones of le male for $300 a bottle.

>>17239426
There goes the gynecomasstige fag tellin the world what the allure of niche is supposed to be.

>>17239426
>PDM pretends to be an independent company
>looking like an independent niche brand
how?
>The allure of nich is supposed to be
according to whom?

>>17239426
So you got 2 points.
1. Price - never buy retail, you can get 75ml Layton exclusive for 100$ So that’s solved the price issue.
2. “Fake Niche” - why stop with fragrances, do you also only buy your food from the supplier directly and small shops? You’re food cost will be x0% higher if so, There is no end to that. it’s a capitalist world, let them do their stupid marketing.

In the end of the day, I think Layton exclusive smells good and as far as I know it’s not a clone like armaf is to creed.

>>17239335
I’m not the masstige guy. I don’t mind designers. I like bois imperial. I like normie shit. PDM is selling designer tier uninteresting and inexpensive fragrances for niche prices. They don’t even have an interesting backstory or bottles. Nothing good about this shit company.

>>17239319
PDM is shit, but Mancera is literally the worse fragrance brand ever

>>17239426
>they are wholly owned and created by a fragrance conglomerate
can't find any info about that

>>17239452
Source on Layton for $100?

>>17239433
>>17239446
>>17239452
90% of pdm/initio/ w/e is overpriced dogshit driven by marketing and pr techniques
if you think any of the fragrances are even close to most of the fragrances at the same price point you are either a fucking idiot who are vulnerable to suggestion or just a noselet

have any of you bought anything from oil perfumery?

>>17239466
just buy consume national i if you want to smell like layton, don't get the lalique equivalent - it's shit

>>17239468
lol, just say that you think they're overpriced and stop with your "fake niche" "fake independent" schizo stuff

>>17239466
Local Facebook/WhatsApp/Telegram/Etc. groups

Last week I got 2019 batch of Layton for 130$

>>17239478
i'm not that anon, i don't even know what the extension of the phrase "fake niche" is

i just ask you not to bring initio/pdm discussion here, they are one of the brands that are objectively dogshit

Reduce your collection/rotation to 2 frags per season. Go!

Tried out Club de nuit for the first time today at a local perfume shop

Shit got me smelling like and old man lmao
Never tried Aventus but apparently this is a clone or whatever

Imagine paying 300 quid for this shit

Look at you, getting so angry from talking about fragrances online.
Chill bro, you got so deep into the rabbit hole you think the bizarre fragrances you own actually smells good and you got “more develop nose” while everyone think you stinks.

>>17239487
Its a lot worse than aventus. Dont know why people bother wearing a shitty perfume

Wait, you ain't the gynecomasstige guy, you are the butthurt arab that kept spemming about demi rawling untill he learned she is taken right? ain't no way you ain't him if your vendetta is only targeted at pdm and inito, kek.

>>17239514
i have no idea what you are talking about, my only reasons for my "vendetta" to be targeted at pdm/initio are
1) their way of reaching customers is via paying influencers to make up words about their fragrances
2) sampling pdm fragrances which were utter dogshit
3) receiving an initio fragrance in swap which was utter dogshit

i don't know why you are so invested in defending these houses unless you own their stuff. the levels of idiotism in the fragrance world are as follows
1) high-end attar autism
2) cheap designer stacking people
3) victims of marketing
you are only on the third level, grats

This. Armaf overall is a really bad cloning house. There are better alternatives out there, but because Jeremy shills it so are the plebs out there getting it.

>>17238648
weird but sort of good I think? was some time I go i tried it though
>>17239255
don't get OL, smells like leather and that's it, just wear a leather jacket at that point. One dimensional to me. Overpriced.

old but gold

Y’all niggers were right about This is Him. It’s like a better Eau des Baux

Bros I think I might get a full bottle of LDDM. I originally wanted something more gourmand and boozy for the winter but the mysterious and suave oriental amber accords in LDDM are god tier.
I haven't tried Sundowner though and it seems pretty good, can anyone comment?

I have never posted this image before and I'm not sure how it is being used to make a point outside of the fact that it illustrates the perception of a person who simply uses fragrances to receive positive feedback. Why did the picture make you so emotional?
