i probably already have too many full bottles at this point, but i'm still asking for further recommendations. thinking of buying full botles of you or someone like you and philosykos
need more for fall/winter - nothing animalic or sweet

Lel. I saved your pic and I was just answering you.
You could enjoy Eau de Minthé (think modern and more natural Drakkar Noir) for summer. For winter, specially Christmas and Easter time, I wear Loewe 7 A LOT. Try before buy.
I buy Caron from their website. You can't find their bottles with disccount anymore (at least in Europe).

Jesus christ this smells like heaven in a bottle.

how do i get better at discerning the different notes within fragrances? can't really detect anything except a general vibe and i'd like to change that

Have you ever went outside and focused just on what you smell? No music, no phone just focus on the smells, try doing that.
Whenever you eat food try thinking about what do you smell and taste.
In general smell many things irl, beer, wine, mead if you can handle savouring higher proofs gins, whiskey, rum.

SOTD: Apoteker Tepe After the Flood.
Opens with heavy fresh cut grass, pretty aggressive, then mellows to sweet, bit herbal, can feel the earthy. Drydown is nice, but nothing special. I like the concept, but the frag is kind unfinished & average in the end. Won't buy a full sizes.

This.
Practice. Learn to be aware of the smell: each room at your place have a characteristic smell, your friends places, the woods, the store, the car, the food and it's ingredients, the people...
Read something about mindful smelling.
Once you train your nose, you can start with the sounds. Then the world becomes a more enjoyable place.

>Classy dad
Lol yes. I'm a father of three.
Black bottle is "Une Historie d'Homme Irresistible" by Mauboussin. Ridiculous name and a simple yet effective composition (see picrel). Funny enough, is my most complimented fragrance, and I purchased it for only €25.
>>17984898
Based. I could happily live with only Antaeus (cold), TdH (warm) and 1881 (hot).

>caron frags were cheaper here
What are their delivery costs? They dont charge in EU and you own way more expensive bottles. Seeing your refined taste, you could blind buy Yatagan and Le 3ème Homme without hesitation.

>>17985058
basicly almost all of their stuff costs ~~75€, getting samples would be a pain in the ass, and I am not exactly willing to blind buy stuff over ~~50€, I would surely enjoy them but, the question becomes is it worth risking a blind buy when I have a huge backlog of perfumes that I would like to own, that I've already sampled extensively?

i only blind buy and i have around 30 bottles.
i regret 2, maybe 3

>>17985107
I don't need that much spice in my life, and there is 3 niche perfumeries in my city to begin with so finding most stuff is not that big of a deal.

>>17985113
yeah, that would be an option but i don't like going to perfumeries because the atmosphere is awful and they charge twice as much as online retailers. i also like the surprise factor.

>>17985107
How is that even possible? Out of the frags that I try, I end up liking maybe 1 in 4

I traded YSL Y EDP for pic related today. What does /fa/ think about Allure Homme?

I had such hope for this sample of Lubin Korrigan after reading descriptions. On me it smells like musty/moldy with a generic ambery background that never goes away even the next day.

>>17985206
i like it, it's a well blended, mature scent which can be worn year-round (maybe a tad too sweet for some)
with the current asking price you might find better value frags desu

>>17985216
Perfume pricing doesn't make sense to me

I thought it was just designers getting away with everything but a month ago i could get a Hugo Boss set with perfume and aftershave for $150 when Aventus was $400

What's your favorite cheapie right now?

>>17985220
that's because the entire Hugo brand is universally classless designed to fleece money from unsuspecting fools

>>17985227
Paco Rabbane, CK and Bvlgari also did this though

>>17985220
perfume being a luxury distorts the normal logic of the market (pricing, supply and demand, etc.) quite a bit

i just do my research and i also dismiss opinions from big youtube influencers on principle, especially female ones. if curlyfragrance doesn't like it, it's usually good shit (e.g. fahrenheit).

>>17985206
There is not a bad male fragrance from Chanel

>>17985225
Aramis tuscany

I like pic related and only pic related (I also like the other one from boss and also armani code which is sort cheaper version of boss)
Is it ok? Is it /fa/ ? This scent is quite old now, it is also not some fancy niche artisan homo scent? It is edt and not expensive either. /fa/gs are always chasing after new unknown scents or expensive scents to make an impression on others on 4chan or irl. But I don't care, I just like boss edt.

Dakar and Drakkar Noir

SOTD THIERRY WASSER'S MASTERPIECE BEFORE HE GOT SODOMIZED AT GUERLAIN

Kind of ashamed that I couldn't find a spot for Drakkar Noir or Ombre Leather. Honorable mention to L'Eau d'Issey.
To be totally honest, I never wear Kouros out. I just like to revel in it at home.

>>17984957
It's not listed in the notes but people commonly refer to Fracas as a sweet, bubblegum-like white floral.

>>17985025

>>17984957
Not listed but battito dali

>>17985349

No homo but would suck a dick if they somehow make YSL LNDL to last at least 5 hours and no Bleu Electrique is not the same, I notice a difference

>>17985349
>>17984596
Yatagan is such a cozy scent, reminds of christmas holidays

>>17984589
It is weird af to see Attaquer listed as a green frag, that thing doesn’t come off as green to me in the slightest.

>>17984957
According to one of the OP pastebins, Jasmine (I think, double check) is often associated with that scent, which I frankly love.
Beaufort London Acrasia has it strongly, and it’s a little more muffled by the other notes but I get it in Au Coeur du Desert as well.

>>17985107
Based are those who are easily pleased, for they shall inherit happiness.

How does Fig Infusion hold up to Philosykos? I've been considering a bottle of the latter for a while, but I just learned about Essential Parfums after being out of this for some time.

Not at all really. It's more vegetal.

on a serious note just wear non offensive freshies or whatever smells like laundry. imagine the fattest of fat fucks, he just did laundry and smells like clean clothes. go for frags like that. white musk and aldehydes are your friends

Is perfume safe to drink?

LNDL is just there because I couldn't find a better frag to fill that space.
I think I should have left it blank.

>>17985377
>Bleu Electrique is not the same, I notice a difference
The difference is too subtle (scent-wise) to be relevant. LNDL and LNDL:BE smell 95% the same.

>>17985571
eastern europeans drink it because there's alcohol in it

>>17985206
A coworker was showing his bottle to me at work I only got to smell the cap not any actual spray, but it did smell really really good based on just smelling the cap. I was considering buying it based on just that.
I really like Allure Homme Sport so I wasnt super sure if I wanted to try the original or just get another bottle of Allure Homme Sport.

>>17985420
>>17985423
lol my first tought. Also Le Male.

>>17985384

Are you picrel or similar? Fuck you are too young to throw in the towel. Some father advice here:
>Hit the gym 5 days a week. I prefer boxing, but choose whatever gets you sweating and it's not full of ladies or homos.
>Track your calorie intake. Use free apps like MyFitnessPal or LoseIt. Weigh every food you eat.
>1500 to 2000 calories per day. No cheating, any day. Learn to love lots of vegetables and clean protein, or you'll starve and fail.
Fast forward to June 2024:
>Get yourself some summer clothes that fit well and a top-notch haircut.
>Buy a fragrance that suits an attractive man of your age.: I'd choose picrel, but Eros, Sauvage, Dylan Blue, or any other mainstream blue scent that gets compliments will work ok.
>Keep training and calorie counting.
Stick with this until January 2025. I did this in my early 20s and I swear, my life improved 10x.
I believe in you.

>>17985571
if it has "alcohol denat." or something like that, it's denatured alcohol, means they've added a bitterant specifically to prevent it from being ingested. doesn't mean it's unsafe, just means it will taste like absolute shit.

>>17985519

>>17985383


pineward anon, thinking about buying full dram sample set for 280 dollars. price is high, but honestly not terrible for 4 mL samples and you get a ton of them for the price of one niche bottle from other brands.

worth it? are there any standouts i should just get a few samples of instead?

ragu by gabriella chieffo
opens with pine needles and a lot of spices. primarily green spices, lots of fennel and some woods. at the same time it's bone dry. nice and unique combination.

>>17985384
>>17985670
I just went and looked, second pastebin link in OP (vUp2MLXv) and then the pastebin link inside that one “Glossary” (mQrCr2zZ)
>jasmine: One of the most common white floral materials of perfumery, extracted from Jasminum grandiflorum or Jasminum sambac; its two main odor character materials are benzyl acetate, known to Americans as the taste of pink bubblegum, and cis-jasmone, which gives a waxy celery note.

Its jasmine.

>>17985707
Is that 4 ml of every single thing he owns? You do NOT need that much. You can get 1.5-2 ml of each of his frags for ~100 bucks, I literally did this like… 2-3 weeks ago. Do that.
Be warned though, the skin stain is REAL. Not all his frags are neon/dark green, but a lot are dark enough to be blatantly obvious on skin, and would be even worse on clothing.

>>17985707
I have not tested their entire range, and out of those I tested they aren't exactly hyper complex constantly evolving, but they are hyper natural smelling, scrub-resistant lasting forever and the scents are of real quality for sure.
Some of the more memorable ones :
Treacle - Smoked tea, fresh beeswax, earthy - dirty honey, tobacco, tree raisin, its sticky, it's damp it's bizzare.
Pastoral - hay, hay, hay, hay all kinds of fucking hay with all kinds of fucking honey, super sweet and super dry at the same time.
Oxylus - hot damp rocks / minerals near a mountain stream (ganymede has similiar accord), conifers and mud.
Worth noting that a lot of pinewards will stay on you for days, and purely hypothetical but if you are a limp wristed faggot with alergies ( I assume you are due to your disgusting plebbitor habits) I wouldn't be surprised if some of the pinewards could get a reaction out of you.

>>17985225
definitely Lalique pour homme

What kind of a fragrance would you recommend to a sophisticated gentleman like me?

>>17985801

>>17985423

Every pineward ice tried is just a poorly blended mess of dirt water and and a variety of plants and absolutes.

Totally fucking shit

>>17985739
nah i'm trusting my nose on this one, it's def tuberose. that being said, tuberose, jasmine and lily are very often used together. maybe it's just an american/euro thing like the vomit chocolate or both jasmine and tuberose have bubblegum qualities. tuberose can also smell very voluptous

Picrel is perfect. Three masterpieces nicely priced.
I spent +3000 bucks buying more than 50 bottles and I just realized I could do it with these three and buy small decants to keep the hobby alive.

I think I like hacivat more than aventus...

>>17985801
Funny enough Joeyy posted an instagram story p recently flexing a bottle of some Margiela frag or another. Forget which one but I can see him wearing Jazz Club, don't think that was the one tho

>>17984596
Since when is Guerlain vetiver cool? I use to shill it and everyone called it an old man frag. Either way, top row is me.

>>17986057
>old man frag
Still is. Cheap boomer trash.

>>17986058
Good, I don’t want you smelling based anyway.

>>17986061
Don't worry, I don't wanna smell like Joe Biden, either. I only wear what Melissa Nacionale and Curlyfragrance recommend. They know what makes the pussies wet.

>>17986064
Joe Biden wears Dior homo and skinny suits because that’s what his handlers tell him to do.

>>17985739
I liked the idea of 4 ml samples because then you can wear them a few times and get to know a scent

>>17985770
I’m interested in oxylus, the ice one, and murkwood, but there’s so many I just want to sample them all, however the staining sounds annoying. I’m assuming that problem is less of a concern with his edt scents

On the topic of samples, has anyone tried a discovery set from clandestine labs?

>>17986106
45 sprays , so you can wear 10 times each. Realistically is way more than you need unless the discovery set is the only frags you have

>>17986106
Unless you’re wildly indecisive, the 1.8 ml set will cover you just fine. But you know you better than I do, so “you do you”.

If you’ve got the money to drop, the bottles certainly look cool and better quality than the 1.8 mls.

>>17986109
It’s less about concentration and more about their color. They’re all just VERY highly pigmented, even the faint orangey yellow ones leave a visible residue on skin. I’m pretty sure he also only has a couple EdT’s, so even if it were that you’d still have to be worried about 90% of his frags.

>>17986025
Yeah. I'm serious. Bogart Signature is discontinued I think, though. So I'll keep buying it until prices get too high. I also wear Guerlain Vetiver in moderate weather i just didn't put it in there because i barely wear it. I don't like modern fragrances. I don't want to smell like a fucking cupcake or some other desert.

I have half a mind to buy anything by Gardoni I can get my hands on

>>17986159
>I don't want to smell like a fucking cupcake
I get that, but your selection points to a very specific scent profile. You could literally merge all your smelly water in one big bottle and most normies wouldn't tell the difference.

>>17986057
I posted those snice nine and I'm a 41 years old father of three. I'm far from being cool and I never got compliments with GV. Wife hates its opening because "it's too much" but when I wear some Hugo Boss free vial she says I smell manly.

Nice. That was my first frag so many years ago. I still like to wear it every now and then but it brings back too many high school memories.

>>17985420
Fatasses shouldn’t wear sensual perfumes, you’re right. But unironically fat men pull off old school masculine perfumes like Fahrenheit, Drakkar, Platinum Egoiste, etc very well, it’s a good look. The key is avoiding modern fuckboy fragrances

What are some good woody Spring fragrances that avoid heavy citrus. Seems like every Spring list is just a load of lemon bombs

>>17986607
Fahrenheit is actually a fuckboi scent in my book. It's very pleasant. Not heavily masculine like Drakkar Noir, Quorum, P. Egoiste.

I don't think it was clones, because there's always been clones. Even legitimate companies have been stealing from each other for decades.

I think it's been the coof, actually. Just like how it changed fashion, it makes sense it would change fragrance.

Why is the thread spammer obsessed with Pineward at the moment, does it relate to his BBC fetish because the juice is dark?

>>17986660
Pineward comes up from time to time

That's my favorite porn genre. Has to be free of blacks/humiliation though. It's the best amateur milf content.

>>17986491
I bought the discovery set and this was the bottle I purchased with the discount code, really glad I did.
I was debating between this and Fat Electricician, and was honestly leaning towards FE because it’s more masculine where as GITS is more feminine.
Finally was just like, fuck it, no, I like GITS more and when it arrived the package is gorgeous, the bottle is cool both because of the color and design, but also w/e they coat it with feels nice.

So glad I went for it.

>>17986660
Not sure if you consider the “thread spammer” (current OP) or the fake thread spammer, but I maaaay have kicked it off because I recently purchased the full discovery set and it has bubbled in the background of discussion since then.
>>17986700
Oh, okay. That guy. Yeah he can fuck off.

>>17986669
This was my initial take. I still need more time with the set to fully form an opinion, but “little brother to Rogue Perfumery” was basically the vibe I got.

>>17986841
Yeah, the bottle for GiTS is really good, I assume it’s supposed to feel like an android’s synthetic skin. 10/10 bottle design for giving it a tactile element, but I do kinda worry about it flaking off in the future.

>>17986695
Yes. Basically anything "warm spicy" works perfectly in warm weather. I simply wore it during the summer and now I can't even wear it in the winter anymore, because it smells like summer to me. Also shoutout to my friends who decided to wear their warmest and spiciest fragrances during summer and made me realize that only the marketing department cares about seasons when it comes to fragrances.

Well just Polo, Quorum, and Bogart

I found that the others are too distinct to do that to.

i'll report when i find a tester. benzin was alright, smelled like cold intense but not super high quality. waidmanns heil intense is very similar to bogart signature (my SOTD)

>>17986867
>They are very different to my nose, and DHP is stronger by a factor of like 10 or something.
Yeah it can be used for scentmogging. Lasts on my skin for two days easily.
I much prefer the Parfum, I like the added leather, rose, smokiness and lessened sweetness. Feels more complex and deeper. Intense was a bit too sweet and designer gourmandish for me.

>>17986887
Been looking into Heil Intense actually, I really liked the bottle with the stick/wooden looking cap. It’s good then, yeah?

Ottoman empire 3: burnt sunflower seeds, oud and rose combo. Nice but I tried better ones with a similar profile

Siberian musk III: green piney animalic chypre. Beautiful, high quality and best one out of the three. Would buy two bottles of mriga for that price tho

I was bored and decided to buy some random stuff, first time I do anything with those oriental dupe brands
If anyone cares at all I might report back after they arrive in some days and I've tested them
I know the Aspen doesn't fit in with the rest but I saw it by chance and it was 12 bucks, what the hell

>>17984596
What is that RL Polo on the right? Polo Green sport flanker?

>>17986956
Three sprays. I do both wrists and my chest. Anything else and you risk being "that guy," especially if you work in an office around sensitive women who bitch about cologne and "headaches" all the time

Why do people buy $200 bottles when you can get like 20 decants for the same price? No one ever finishes bottles anyway. Guaranteed you have one that's been collecting dust for the last five years

>>17986956
Why do you even ask this without mentioning the fragrance?
What's the point?
So you do the same 3 sprays whether it's sauvage elixir or something like acqua di gio edt?

>>17987116
It makes me feel like each spray costs less and it's more efficient, ml/l wise.
Of course that is foolish but I can't help it. I feel like a cuck buying under 30ml with those outrageous ml/l prices.

>>17986906
i think i'd still prefer bogart signature, it has the edge. fron the rammstein lineup sex is my favorite, but interested to try zwinger
>>17987048
meh
>>17987078
should've bought obscure al-rehabs

>>17987116
But just think, you'll still have half a juicy bottle while decantcucks are getting neutered reformulations

>>17987122
I get that, but I always think 2-4 ml is plenty. You'll get a lot of solid wears out of that, and then when its empty you can try a new one. No one needs 100 ml of the same cologne

>>17987116
speak for yourself. i like to have a bunch of bottles instead of a bunch of vials tucked away in a bag like a meth junke and i have finished many bottles already.

Glad to read someone clever. I restricted myself to owning 10 bottles and sold all my collection but those 10 (all under 100 bucks except Tauer02 and Black Afgano).
Since I only finish 1 bottle each year I started to buy decants and tiny amounts of oud just to keep the hobby alive and train my nose. I enjoy more and feel way less retarded than when I owned 70 bottles.

Bro it's $20...

Damn, this stuff is pretty snice.

The sweetness is definitely mild, feel like it’s getting a bit stronger as it dries down. Can’t wait to wear this to work tomorrow.

>>17987266
Did you take a sip? how does it tastes?

>>17987266
I started my collection with EdB and I was in love with my bottle too :)
This and Loewe 7 are awesome Christmas/Easter frags. The medicine-herbal blast in the opening is just fantastic.

>>17987268
Christmas in a bottle, you should definitely try it for yourself.

>>17987270
I’ve been wanting a sweet gourmand that isn’t fruity, Spicebomb Extreme doesn’t work for me, and I’ve been procrastinating trying this because I wanted to sample it or at least get it discounted.
Finally broke down and just bought it retail online, definitely gonna enjoy it. Will have to give it time and see if it fills my sweet gourmand desire though. Still kind of want Vanille Havane.

Is it weird to do two different scents a day? I always do one in the morning for work, usually something a little lighter and inoffensive, and then another in the evening when I get home

>>17987292
Not at all, especially if they compliment each other reasonably well. Even if they don’t, that long in between is fine.

Sometimes I’ll put on one scent in the morning before work and put on another at lunch because I don’t have a travel atomizer of the original.

Is it just me or these two smell the same minus the anus glands?

>>17987597
I mean like why do they tend to preform for like maybe 3 hours max worse
I bought some samples of a few Diptyque frags and the performances was FUCKING awful.
Im not asking why isnt it like Nuclear, im asking if there is something inherently about the chemical structure of naturals that make them preform so badly

This was actually one of the ones I tried, it definitely did not last for 8 hours, it became a skin scent after like 1 hour then I couldnt smell it at all after 3

I just bought AdP Fico di Amalfi for the summer. I like it but performance seems shit. Honestly a bit disappointed. I wish I just bought Aventus since it's my favourite but now that a lot of other faggots bought the clones it doesn't seem as special.

Polo Cologne Intense. Doesn't really smell like Polo as it has none of the tobacco or pine of the original. It's mostly mint, grapefruit, basil, and ambroxan. Not bad but more a modern-style green fresh ambroxan bomb. Works nice in hotter weather but not what I was hoping it would be.

Aspen smells 90% like Cool Water but a little less sea-salty and a little greener and IMO fresher. Not an amazing scent on its own, but it was my Dad's after-shower scent when I was growing up. He'd just douse himself in that stuff in the morning as I was getting ready for kindergarten and elementary school. So it immediately bumps up what would be a 6/10 scent to a 9/10 for me.

Happiness is a false ideal spread by the western world. The goal of life is not happiness but satisfaction. You can be miserable the whole time, and unhappy, but if you are satisfied by the life you lead, that is, by the progress you make, however small, toward your goals, then that is all that matters. The history of this world is full of miserable, autistic, cunty people who have died satisfied because they did what they wanted to do.

Set goals for yourself, and take steps to completing them. Find broken things and fix them. Find ways to automate repetitive steps away. Satisfaction is not happiness. Happy people sit at home and look the sun, then cry when they're no longer happy. Unsatisfied people always have something to do.
