How can you not have heard of YSL?

>>6899759
shoulda kicked her fokin teeth in m8

wanna come round mine for a few joint, lines n sum special brew? it wud make u feel better

>>6899768
only if by joint, lines, and sum special brew, you mean anal sex with hot french women then yes.

La nuit is pleb as fuck

>>6899781
This isn't about being pleb you fashion queen.

what does la nuit smell like?

>>6899797
Read the reviews. I can't explain it as well as the basenote population.
http://www.basenotes.net/products/la-nuit-de-lhomme

>>6899797
its nice but its too common

Where do you guys buy cologne? I never buy online unless I get a sample from a magazine. Nobody around here sells Tom Ford or anything that isn't polo shit.

>>6899830
As common as people say it is on the internet, and frag forums, I've never smelled it on anyone else in my life. and obviously if this girl hasn't heard of YSL, she probably hasn't either.

>>6899860
I just buy it from the mall. I don't spend hundreds of dollars on cologne when the "mall tier" frags work just fine for attracting ladies. not to mention I'm guessing most women also wouldn't know about any niche frags either so why spend the money on something like creed or tom ford.

>>6899867
I meant more of stores. The only places I know of that sell a lot around here are JCPenny, Macy's and Kohls.

>>6899860
you can buy samples if you're worried about dropping skrilla on a bottle that you think you might not like

>>6899860
You can get samples online, check http://www.luckyscent.com/ for USA and http://shop.lessenteurs.com/ for UK.

>>6899867
I dunno about the general consensus, but I tend to wear fragrances for myself. Other people are going to appreciate anything that isn't the standard aquateen/muslimBO you tend to get in UK cities.

>>6899869
in that case, I normally buy on sale at perfumania.com

>"hay u smell gr8 what u wearin"
>uhhhh idk forgot

how many squirts to "project" a cologne outside of your immediate personal space? on clothes or skin?

>halp

>>6899952
Depends on the frag. some colognes need 3 or 4.
some only need 1 or 2. it depends on your skin chemistry and the cologne itself.

>>6899963
I'm not that guy, but how many times should I squirt One Million ?

>>6900172
I would never go more than 2.

>>6900172
0

its terrible

When I wear any cologne I always do 1 spritz on each wrist, dab together, then dab on my neck. I never put any on my clothes. Is that why I feel like my cologne never really has an presence?

>>6900350
I usually do one on each wrist, one on neck and, if the weather is cold or the cologne is weak, one on the chest.

I've been told that if you spray behind the neck instead of the front it "leaves a trail" as you walk. Never tested it myself

>wear cdg Sequoia
> some guy loudly talks about how bomb the room smells
> I lel and call him a gaylord because he likes my cologne

>>6900350
you feel like your cologne doesn't have any presence because you spray it on your wrists, which is really far away from your nose. And when you dab it, you "bruise" the cologne and make it last not quite as long. Also you're olfactory senses shift on and on when it is senses the same thing for an extended amount of time. think of when you get into a pool for a long time and the water starts to feel normal. same thing.

>>6900468
bruising cologne is just bullshit youtubers made up, there's nothing to "bruise"

>>6900350
Spray twice, one side of the neck, and one on the back. Anymore and you're the douchebag that's suffocating everyone in the room

>>6899808

>The first time was this cute bartender,, Jill. Her exact words from inside the bar (a good 4-6 feet away)

If somebody can smell you from 6 feet away then you might as well put on a tight fitted vneck and studded jeans because you've officially achieved stinky arab status.

You guys seriously don't spray that much do you?

>>6900484
well actually you're right yes, it isn't true. however rubbing cologne together between your skin will make it wear off faster. Dabbing doesn't hurt anything though.

>>6900492
not me, basenotes is full of those faggots though

>>6900484

Should I put any on my clothes, or should I just limit it to on my skin only?

>>6900492
Some cologne just projects that far with 1 or 2 sprays. Thierry muggler is a perfect example, that stuff projects like nonsense.

>>6900510
skin only

>>6900510
dont put it on your clothes, it can stain/not come out

i got tobacco vanille on my sweater this past winter and it smells faintly of it

So, being a pleb, you found someone who is even more pleb than you? Congratulations.

>l'instant guerlain pour homme

>>6900529

I only have EDT, no EDP. I don't think EDT stains, does it?

>>6900547
maybe

but either way, your clothes don't project the scent, your body heat does.

Damn, OP, I also have YSL La nuit and girls fucking love it.

>>6900611
this

i went through a cologne phase and all of them just gets annoying after an hour, then it gets stuck to your clothes. I only spray twice too(light sprays). I only one that isn't horrible after a while is irish tweed

>>6900574
nice try. how much are they paying you?

>>6900544
Hmm, I'll ask if they have a sample at my local mall or something. Thanks anon.

>>6900839
np
but most malls doesn´t have it, but you can find it in some perfume shops, guerlain has lots of interesting scents and they keep them over the years, not like this typical mall perfumes

>>6900670

Cdg always comes through

AG too syntheticy for my taste though.

Their green frags are so nice

Can't wait till it gets colder so
I can wear a* men again.

I've got green Irish tweed for summer, doesn't have the projection or logetivity of a* but smells really good. I think I'll switch back
To a* in October

The sticky says to throw away your Axe and get some cologne, but how do I not stink up the joint without anti-antiperspirant?

>>6905323
Scentless, ya stooge.

>>6905323
Unscented deodorant???

>>6905338
Do I also put cologne in my armpits? Is it true that you're supposed to massage cologne into your nipples to get it into your bloodstream? Seems kinda gay. I can't imagine a fashionable gent doing this.

>this thread
>wearing cologne and not sporting your own unique musky male scent

>Not rubbing frags into nipples

>>6905323
I just use a slightly scented women's roll on deodorant. Stops me from sweating and you can't smell it unless you're actually sniffing my armpits

I really like the smell of the YSL Le Nuit but the few review sites that i have looked up have said that it should be used at night only. Would it be a bad idea to wear it daily? BTW it would be my first cologne so i dont have any experience on this stuff.

>at mall being hoodrats

>>6905577
That's a matter of opinion. Some people say it works fine for everyday wear. I once heard a guy say it could be done but you might apepar to be trying a bit too hard. I personally like it but whenever I put it on I start feeling like a sleezy club rat.

here's my advice for you: If in doubt then don't. Best to err on te side of caution with stuff like this. While having a 10 meter radius of Aventus might get you a compliment from some bimbo who passes you by at that distance everyone else will be seriously hating you for reeking like that.

For your first cologne I think you should get something a bit on the lighter side, for versatility.
There's a couple of infigraphics with some ideas to get you started (I don't have any of them saved though), but the important thing is sampling and reading before you buy.

>>6905353

One or two sprays onto your wrist (maybe 3 if its a very light scent) and then tap your wrists together, then your wrists into the inside of your elbows, then your wrists to your jugular. You want the cologne to be at "hot spots" where a lot of blood passes subdermally, because that heat is what causes the cologne to "move" so to speak (I cant find another way to put it).

>>6904315
>cdg Sequoia
>has gas mask becouze smells like shit

>>6899797
Hard to explain. I can't describe the actual scent. All I can say it's a subtle and solid fragrance.

I'd recommend getting another frangrance for when you're going out or something.

>>6905637
Post build a bear

>>6904287
Jesus christ I didn't even see that. and that's totally wrong. This projects and last perfectly.

Would love to have this tattooed, but I have no idea of what to crop out to make it /fa/..

>>6904287
what the fuck, i do 2 sprays max of anything. these people are disgusting

man i just start pouring that shit on me
even on my balls
so when girls gives me bj
balls smells nice

>>6899860
shut your fucking whore mouth

>>6899952
don't do this. people should only smell you from <1 .5 feet away, or it will be off-putting.

I want to get into this shit but I'm kind of wary

Changing how you smell with colognes has always seemed more artificial than clothes or accessories. Like, I can use my clothes to express myself but I can't imagine wearing a scent for anything other than attracting other people.

Maybe it's some stupid reservations I have tho

>>6906034
>tfw I didn't understand why you're angry for like 10 seconds
laughed pretty hard

>>6906085
if thats the case, than wear cologne for yourself. The best way to put it is that cologne is like an invisible accessory., that's how I see it.

Every scent is different on how much you should put on. You should try everything.beacuse there is no general rule. Stuff like millisime imperial, or D&G the one.. Theres just no way you can get away with only wearing 2 sprays of those. There just way way to light. Wear as stronger stuff obviously like one million 2 sprays can be fine. It all just depends on what it is you are wearing.


And the problem with basenotes is they have a very sorta cliche rich snobby people attitude that you see in the movies. It can be very hard to have any kind of normal conversation there what so ever. Other wise if you do some digging you can find some good/intresting info there sometimes.
As for la nuit actaully I cant recall ever smelling it on someone before myself actually lol. I think in general where I live the most common things you smell are curve, cool water, aqua di gio, and le male. Other wise its very rare to smell anything else.

I really want a gourmand fragrance. I was for awhile considering Tobacco Vanille, but after smelling it on my skin, the most prominent note is tea, and now it's horrendously cloying and headache inducing, to my nostrils.

Are there any recommendations for a youthful and bright vanilla scent that isn't as obnoxious?

>winter, wearing a jacket and being a teen
>wearing JPG le male
>out with a friend, his GF and her friend who is a butterface

Is there any sort of odourless de-oderant that just stops sweat safely?

Anyone have experience with non-aluminium de-oderants that actually work? Or do you enjoy the scent of fragrance melded with man odor?

>>6907811
I've been using Right Guard gels for quite some time. They're not odorless but have a light scent which kinda disappears after a short time.

>>6907811
I use arm and hammer unscented deodorant, I don't like antiperspirant anyways.

It's a very light scent, you'd have to put your nose in your armpit to smell it

>>6907487
>Recommendations for vanilla fragrance that isn't headache inducing
I-is that even possible?

>>6907861
If onlt it was :3

>>6905637
Your friends are putting the proletarian behavior at a whole new pleb level

Is it advisable to buy EDT, parfum or cologne? YSL la nuit seems to come in cologne as a spray, but don't colognes usually have droppers?

>go to play basketball with some fellow writers
>spritz myself with my CdG Wonderwood, just to not completely smell like a bag of dicks after
>get to the court

>defending one of the other guys
>steal
>pass out, get it back
>make hook shot, goes in
>quick breathe before next play
>"Goddamn one of you smells really good"

That was a good feeling.

>>6910689
Fuk yea

Tfw "someone smells really nice"
Still not sure if its you

>>6910689

When I tried it, I thought Wonderwood was a black guy perfume. It made me think of the smell of an African antique shop or something.

So what do you guys thinks about villan by ed hardy? Got it as a gift. I think it smells real sweet, almost feminine.

What does /fa/ think of Sex Panther?

>>6907487

>>6917760
wtf I can't make sentences

Anyone try these yet?

The Blue line contains three specific fragrances: Santal, the freshest of the trio; Cedrat, possibly the most classic and commercial; and Encens, my favourite. Encens, as the name might suggest, has the heavy churchy incense undertones that you get from other Comme perfumes such as Kyoto or Avignon, but in a lighter, cooler blend. Incense for sunny summer days. How intriguing.

>>6917791
I imagined Patrick Bateman narrating that like a Phil Collins review.

this is the cologne chart that i found similar to my taste. I didn't smell / try all of mentioned (like medici is just so fucking expensive) but those that i did i mostly liked and many also owned. would add some prada thou. Totaly I-shit-you-not valid infograph for those of you who are new to colognes

hello wankers, spankers, and future spanx customers.

Enrooled in organic chemistry... notice some citral in the lab... start getting into synthetic armoma chemicals.
think about making my own... did... hear people compare the old "old spice" with the new... try and figure out formula... here is what I got so far, the base:

Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde (Lyral - Leerall),4%
Iso eugenol 4,
Citronellol, 4
Benzyl Benzoate 4%,
Cinnamic alcohol 4%,
Evernia Punastri (oakmoss)4%,
Benzyl Cinnamate 4%,
Hexyl Cinnamaldehyde** 4%,
Hydroxycitronellal 4%

unknown musk

say what you will about OS, but even most snobs at least give it a nod. I also wanted to do something that is cheap to tinker with.

Is Tobacco vanille Tom Ford's best cologne?

>>6917980
How did you do this?

GC-MS /w NIST?

>>6907861
Olfactive Studio's Lumiere Blanche is not headache inducing, but that's probably because it's too transparent/subtle.

>>6918005
Japon Noir was the best, but the fucking stupid faggot cunt dropped it from the line. On top of that, he raises the prices every year by five bucks, even though he uses the most synthetic and cloying accords possible.

>YSL fragrance
>not Jazz

Step it up, homie.

>>6918005
Yes, but try mixing it with the Japone Noir. Its a clean mix that you can wear mid-day/night really well.

>>6917791
I copped Blue Encens for the summer.

Its good, ive only worn it once, its incensey and woody mostly, switching between the two from time to time, but with a real fresh, cool kick behind it all the time.

Can't wait for hotter days, I think its really gonna shine in summer.

dat 212
is it different from the 212 nyc? Mine is in a silver bottle and smells very.... fresh, morningish,

whats a scent that smells like cold mountains, but not in a 'le hipster lumberjack' kind of way?

like, the cologne equivalent of white mountaineering or norse projects

>>6917902
>versace dreamer
>expensive

Dreamer is actually extremely cheap (between 30-50 bucks). It smells really excellent, lasts about 8 hours, and has decent projection. Its opening is a bit too harsh at first, but after about 15 minutes it really comes into its own.

Must buy.

>live in bumfuck ass alberta
>get cologne i think smells absolutely amazing and alluring
>gf complains that it covers up my already natural scent that is for some reason absolutely intoxicating to her

what do i do

>>6921089
212 nyc men is the same as 212, but not the same as other flankers. its supposed to smell fresh like cut green grass with a metallic note in there.

>>6921570
basically i only have 212 and that is the only fucking cologne i used. At first it was a powerful fucking scent. Now i can barely smell it. Is it because I got used to it?

I don't want to soak myself and burn people's eyes and nose

>>6899867
I can tell Ur a fuccboi. it's not about what girls want. It's about appreciating the work someone's done, the scent, the notes and the feelings they giv and the memories they resurrect. I bet u shop at thrift stores and think Ur better for nt buyin designer cloths

U shuld leave fashion since u think it's just a tool to impress vaginas. Fukin pathetic.

>>6921554
keep wearing it. your gf obviously heard that a lot of grills like your scent, and it makes her jealous that you probably smell better than her. she's trying to make you feel insecure. crush her by smelling, dressing, and acting better than her. she will come to love you, and hate herself for it.

>>6921584
yeah you probably just got used to it. I never use more than 3 sprays of that stuff.
