Toms deo is best

>>8962655

>>8962655
Old spice has "classic" scented aftershave/cologne. It's really cheap and lasts forever. I wear it as an everyday scent when I'm feeling too lazy/poor to wear my nicer cologne. It's definitely not the most masculine scent but it smells nice.

>>8962655

Man up an call it perfume. It is what it is. Cologne is a very specific thing (both style and concentration).

>>8969474

Oh, and some of my collection.

The original Old Spice is a cinnamon-forward oriental spicy. Try Burberry London for Men or Havana by Aramis.

I wear around a $200 bottle of amarni extreme, looking for something a lot cheaper around $20-$50 for everyday use, any recommendations? Guys cologne ofc.

>>8969496

If you're talking about Armani Attitude Extreme, that has a pretty unique note breakdown for an oriental spicy that will be difficult to find elsewere.

You could buy some armani code at an online retailer with a discount, but I'm not a big fan.

In general, you get what you pay for. Just use a neutral deo and a spray or two of your expensive shit, or diversify.

>>8969496

Anyway, if you want something cheap, but good, that is suited for winter and not totally plebe you've got basically two options below 50 USD:

Encre Noir: Dark as fuck vetiver. Would go well with Dark Americana/gothninja/formal suits/techwear.

Rochas Man: Sweet coffeebased thing with vanilla. #menswear, normcore, going to the club type scent.

what else is there similiar to la nuit de l'homme?

despite it being the memegrance sweet slutty night smells suit me so well i've been using it consistently seasonwide

>>8969596

You can step up to Dior Homme Intense, it has the same slutty backbone, but adds an iris note that a lot of people find really daring and nice, but some find reminiscent of womens makeup/powder.

>>8969601
great i might order a sample since there is no dh stockist within reach

any other recs in mind?

>>8969615

What is it you like about Nuit? I know other good cardamom-forward scents if that is your thing, or other darkly sweet night scents if that is the appeal.

>>8969494
>Terre d'Hermes
>Burberry London
>Dior Homme(Intense or not?)
>Encre Noire

mah nigga!

>>8969625

Intense :)

>>8969622
yeah preferably darkly sweet night scents

what do you think of Boss Bottled Night? I used it as my signature scent a few years ago, I lovved the lavender note

This one is amazing it smells really fresh and doesn't have a trace of aerosol scent,unless you over spray of course.

It's also a literal chick magnet.

>>8969710
wrong picture..

>>8969702

Boss sucks. Boss Bottled Original is their one halfway decent scent, and even so it is mediocre and boring as fuck.

>>8969689

L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme will rock your world if you don't object to star anise or patchouli.

1 Million was played out years ago and you will smell just like everyone else, but it is probably something you'll like.

The One for Men by D&G is not as dark as Nuit, but shares some of the DNA. It's a bit fresher.

can anyone recommend a relatively cheap vanilla based scent with darker/muskier undertones?

>>8969702

Azzaro pour Homme is a classic 70s lavender scent.

Le Male is a good versatile signature scent that pairs vanilla and lavender.

Fahrenheit is an 80s badboy type scent featuring the lavender and violet notes from Bottled Night, but these are sort of drowned out by leather and gasoline.

Egoiste Platinum is a popular and good daytime scent with lavender and other flower/herb stuff in it.

What's a good neutralizing deodorant that doesn't turn my white tees yellow?
I sweat a lot and the current deodorants I've had just mix with my BO into some halfass smell that isn't really an improvement.

>>8969838

Le Male by Gaultier or maybe Angel Men if you don't need the vanilla to be front and center.

Or you can save up for something that actually does what you want in style: Musc Ravageur by Frederic Malle

>>8969856
anything with aluminum in it will turn your tees yellow.
usually labelled "antiperspirant"

Tom's works fine for me, but i don't sweat that much.

Lets have some more of this.

How the fuck you even do that

Let's have a new topic.

We're well into fall and winter is coming up. This means we can finally use all the hardcore sillage bombs we love (and wish would work every single darn day). Personally, I'm rocking Burberry London in the daytime and DHI when going out in the evening.

What do the rest of you have in your lineup for the colder weather? Do you prefer spicy and dark scents, sugar bombs or leathery goodness for this season?

>>8965227
Tvco?

>>8965227
Trayvon?

>>8973037
Tvco? What the fuck are you talking about?

I'm trying to find an alternative to Oriza L. Legrand's Deja Le Printemps. It smells grassy and very unlike your average sugary sweet perfumes, but the sillage and longevity are absolute shit.
Anyone have an idea of what I could try to replace it with?

>>8969572
>Encre Noir: Dark as fuck vetiver. Would go well with Dark Americana/gothninja/formal suits/techwear.

Can you possibly recommend some similar fragrances?

Dakkar Noir
Anteus Chanel
Azzaro pour homme
Jil Sander man
Kenzo pour homme

old spice should bring back the classic scent body wash. i know body wash scent doesnt matter but i'd prefer classic scent without the gimmicky logos.
that "3x" shit has got to go, and everything they put on the back of the tube too.

>>8973330

These are nothing like Encre Noir, with the single exception of Jil Sander Man.

>>8973291

Sure. Vetiver fragrances are quite popular (the main, and only note in Encre Noir) and there are many good examples to choose from:

Guerlain Vetiver: Soapy clean vetiver. A classic.
Terre d' Hermes: Dirty oranges and vetiver. Works for all occasions.
Grey Vetiver: Modern vetiver. Safer. For wearing a suit.
Sycomore: Woody vetiver. Smooth and unisex.
Vetiver Extraordinaire: Spicy vetiver. Expensive and exclusive.
Hermessence Vetiver Tonka: Sweet vetiver. For intimiate moments.

If you're asking me for more grimdark and severe fragrances say so and I'll go through my notes.

>>8973438
Well, winter is coming. I'm mostly looking for something to wear with the gothninja aesthetic.

The only fragrances I have are La Nuit by YSl, and some others that are more for spring/summer. I'll get samples of some that you've listed but more recommendations are always helpful.

I wear this shit. It's cheap and women always comment on how great I smell.

>hurr its not effay

deal with it, nerd

>>8973459
Forgot picture. I was too busy fucking bitches.

>sycomore
so far the only good thing posted ITT

>>8973457

Many dark fragrances take the sweet and warm vibe. That does not seem very gothninja to me, so the options are limited.

I'd say Memoir Man by Amouage would suit that aesthetic perfectly, but it's a niche perfume so expensive as all hell. I've only got a small decant myself. Dark incense and cool mint.

Bvlgari Black is fucking awesome. It's black latex and leather with a brisk burnt opening, then slowly sweet vanilla creeps up on you.

Ungaro III and Black Aoud lean more towards traditional goth than gothninja with their dark rose notes, but has some pretty nice elements.

>>8973530

They opened with fucking old spice, do you expect me to start talking high end or niche straight away? Baby steps.

>>8973556

Oh, and while vanilla normally reads as warm to me, the one in Bvlgari Black somehow stays cold and synthetic in a good way. Something to wear to a BDSM club. Unisex.

>>8973556
Thank you, I appreciate it.

I don't know shit about cologne, what brands are good?

>>8973598

I know next to nothing about fashion, but I'm very passionate about this. Thank you for letting me gush.

>>8973599

Cologne is a style of perfume (or fragrance if you're afraid of sounding girly) originating in Cologne, Germany. It's used to describe both perfumes where the concentration of essential oils/synthethic chemicals to water/alchol is about 2-5% (making it the weakest concentration) and perfumes with a simple blend of citrus and herbal notes.

If you're asking what brands of perfume are good, that is way too broad a question. If you're actually asking about cologne in particular then I am a fan of Mugler Cologne. It's cheap and perfect for summer.

>tfw bay rum

>>8973650
looks like we got someone who knows there shit - yessss
how can I describe breath of god? I've got an interview @ lush and its my fav frag

>>8962655
It's a scent-by-scent basis. Girls say they like Old Spice because there's a good chance when they ask a guy what he's wearing
it'll be old spice and they'll remember that. Same with this celebrity. That or she's paid by Old Spice

>>8976242
>breath of god

It's a unisex scent in the "oriental woody" olfactory group. This generally means that they've blended some classic oriental notes such as amber, exotic resins and flowers, musk, vanilla and incense with either warm sandalwood notes, or dry cedar/vetiver notes.

In this case there's the main note of incense and the ylang-ylang that is pretty much solely responsible for the oriental vibe, while you've got all three types of woods backing it up, cedar probably being the main one according to teh interwebs. I've never really tried anything from LUSHs Gorilla Perfume line so I can't really go into detail. On paper it seems like a relatively balanced scent, but probably best suited for fall/winter.

I wish you luck with the interview. Oh, and since you like incense scents go check out Fahrenheit Absolute. It's being discontinued and it is my favorite designer incense frag. If you really want to fall down the rabbit hole you can order some samples from Comme des Garcons niche incense line of perfumes. They're all off-the-charts Oriental Woody perfumes.

>>8976202
the little tiara in this pic kills me every time

just bought black by cdg, will be the perfect scent for autumn/wintertime. peppery, strong, but after a while it tones down, making it slightly more subtle. very seductive, hell, straightforward sexy scent.

>>8976700

It looks pretty nice on paper. Green and dark, but peppery. How is the longevity?

I'm new to wearing colognes. I was looking for a woodsy, Earthy type of scent and was suggested He Wood / He Wood Rocky Mountain. I went with a cheap 1 Oz. bottle of HWRM. When I spray it initially, I clearly smell it. I typically spray on both sides of my neck (under my ears), then on my upper chest (close to my shirt collar). After an hour, I cannot smell it at all. I'm wondering if it's just nose fatigue, but I truly think it may be my own skin chemistry just not being able to absorb / project the scent. What should I do? Get another scent? I heard using something like Vasoline on your skin first will help hold the scent.

i have boss bottled for men, lolita lempicka au masculin and dunhill black

is any of this worth a shit or should i go buy other things

>>8976883

First off: HWRM is an Eau de toilette, not a cologne. Just call it a fragrance if using the word perfume bother you.

Sometimes certain fragrances just don't work for you. Nose fatigue should not set in quite so quickly. HWRM is known to have pretty good longevity so unless you bought it on ebay or something (making fakes a concern) you might just be very unlucky with your skin.

Putting on moisturizer/oil before spraying can help for some. Worth a shot. Also, ask someone else to smell you. Perhaps your nose is just weird that way?

As for a other woody and earthy fragrances with staying power:

Terre d'Hermes
Encre Noir
Grey Vetiver
Guerlain Vetiver

There's vetiver in all of these fragrances, but to me that note blends woody and earthy to perfection.

>>8976915

Boss Bottled is played out, but safe. Job interview/office/school no problem all year if you don't mind it.

Lolita Lempicka au Masculin is not bad, works for winter.

Dunhill black is trash.

>>8976984
noted, thanks much

if i trash the dunhill would you have suggestions on what to replace it with to round out my scent-drobe?

early 20s, studying part-time, working in a professional environment but not a suit and tie environment. arts management. dress scandinaviacore/normcore.

>>8977059

Well, since the boss bottled can be your boring spring/fall/office/school fragrance and the Lempicka Masculin can be used for winter/going out I feel like what you're missing is a nice citruy summer scent:

Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune: Don't believe the marketing, this grapefruit scent is totally unisex and totally awesome. It's got grapefruit peel, juice, pulp. It's both sweet and bitter. Everything grapefruit condensed into one fragrance.

Hermes Concentree D'Orange Vert: Bitter oranges and greenery. Really subtle refreshing mint. Fresh as fuck.

Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche: Lemoncream pie. If you're the type to wear nice shirts, perhaps some boat shoes or a summer suit this is perfect for you. Really good sweet and authentic lemon flavor with subtle vanilla and tonka bean making this smooth as silk.

What are some good unscented deodorants here in midwest freedomland?

Encre Noire is sycamore with more forwardness at one fifth the price

Anyone here know anything about women's fragrances? The women I know only wear Body Shop bodyspray but it smells too synthetic for me so their advice isn't useful. I'm rather new to fragrance but I do know what I dislike, namely: gourmands, vanilla, and anything too sweet or warm (as descriptive as that may be). I've been to Sephora to try out the rollerballs and wasn't lucky; too sweet, too much vanilla or it just smelled bad. The only thing I've liked from Sephora that I liked was a discontinued Unisex scent. The last things I tried that I DID like were from L'occitane: Piovine Flora (peony), and Rose er Reines (Rose, bergamot and raspberry). My impression was that they were slightly sweet, as well as 'cool and watery', and I do not mean that they were weak in fragrance, more that the fragrance was light in body as opposed to being very compact and heavy in scent. I didn't know what they were composed of originally and was surprised to find that I liked such floral fragrances, there was something about them that excited the tastebuds somehow.

I suppose the other thing worth mentioning is that I'm only 21, I have smelled some fragrances in the past that I liked but that I considered too 'perfumey' and 'sophisticated' for me to pull off.
What sort of fragrance notes should I consider looking at? Is there such a thing as one-note sampler packs to help familiarize myself with various scents?

>>8978605
Hey anon, I actually mentioned the same problem upthread and I know the feel. Perhaps try unisex or more niche scents, even a bit more masculine ones could be up your alley depending on what they're like.

You could try ordering some samples online, Luckyscent has a great selection of more niche scents (but the downside is that they are more expensive).

Can you describe the kind of scents you like here? Maybe you could also look up the ones you liked on Fragrantica since they have the "you may also like" suggestion box.

My tastes are a completely different deal (grassy, earthy and chypre) but out of the ones I tried Masque Milano's Russian Tea had raspberry notes. It's very heavy, smoky and thick though, I'm not sure if you're into that kind of thing.

>>8962655
Is this any good? I know a lot of guys like it including the one I'm trying to get with.

>>8978552
...Says everyone who can't afford sycamore to make themselves feel better

>>8978605
Get Chanel coromandel hnnnggg

>>8978605

As you can see, I've recommended unisex fragrances here and there in this thread. I do know quite a bit about the female side of things as well, although my taste leans heavily towards classic bold perfumes and weird niche ones.

If you like light, clear, watery fragrances that are nonetheless exciting I would recommend you look at everything ever made by Jean-Claude Ellena. He is a perfumer currently working for Hermes and is well known for his sheer, but deep and well-crafted fragrances. Go to a Hermes store and act interested and you should be able to walk out of there with plenty of samplers free of charge. The Jardin series in particular should interest you. Some of them blend floral with fresh and fruity vibes like in the other scents you describe.

As far as one-note samplers, yes they do exist, but I think you'll find it an expensive and boring exercise to collect them. Plenty of online sample retailers carry sample pack with different themes that might be more helpful.

>>8978812

It's a classic fragrance. It was revolutionary when it was launched thanks to its gasoline-like leather note at the top. I know that note can be slightly challenging for some, but I love weird stuff like that. Once that dies down it evolves into a very classic manly 80s style fragrance. Very... "math teacher/old man", but in a good way.

The Fahrenheit Absolute flanker keeps some of the DNA, but exchanges the petrolium for myrhh and incense and is to my taste the perfect cuddly yet mysterious fall/winter scent.

>>8978824

I feel like they do two pretty different things.

In any case, Encre Noir is a niche quality perfume at a ridiculously budget price. I'm just happy most people won't seek out such a bold fragrance.

>>8979016
Isn't the flanker discontinued now though?

>>8978828

That is a great perfume, but I'd say ambery benzoin and incense is the very opposite of what she is looking for.

>>8979027

Yep, but you can still grab it in many shops and on fragrancex. It never sold very well, despite being popular with fragranceheads so a lot of stock is just sitting there for now.

old spice denali deodorant here with john varvatos artisan. when i do sport I use axe kilo anti perspirant stick.

the scents blend well and I tried many things and sticked to this.

fits a canadian manly man that gets out of the woods and has a great sex life very well.

these are not for skinny metrosexuals.

>>8978605

Another series of perfumes that you should look into is the Aqua Allegoria line by Guerlain mentioned earlier in the thread. They're also watery in a good way.

DKNY Be Delicious, is a very popular watery floral/fruity perfume with main notes of apple, cucumber and magnolia. It's good for younger people, but very much a summer/spring scent.

>>8973459
>deal with it, nerd

WELCOEM AGAIN MR C. THUNDERCOCK

I recently got a bottle of Gibelinni's X - Bolt and I was stunned how simmilar it is to Hugo Boss's scent. Nedless to say, it's my daily scent now, while the original sits comfy in the closet and waits to be used when I'm going out to dinner or something.

>niche quality perfume

You silly plebeian. 'Niche' is a marketing tool, not a gauge of quality. Trust someone who has over three-hundred conf– I mean over a dozen Luckyscent orders: there are as many garbage juices sold as niche as there is in the 'mass-market' area

>>8983009
They're sold as niche because they're from unknown or little known perfumers and produced in smaller quantities, or very old and hard to find
aka niche
It literally has nothing to do with quality, you have as many shite niche perfumes as you do common ones
Stop being a daft cunt

James fucken Heeley.

>>8980758
I don't know what sort of malls you've got. I'm a scandifag and pretty much anything but niche scents are readily available. I hear you guys are supposed to have an even bigger collection.

>>8980829
It lasts 8-12 hours easy on me, and my skin usually gets shit longevity.

>>8982922
If you like manly orange fragrances you should get with the program and try some Terre d'Hermes. Varvatos Artisan is pretty mediocre.

>>8983009
>>8983020
Niche fragrances will usually allow their perfumers a wider range of artistic expression as well as access to more rare and expensive ingredients. Because the price and higher and the market is smaller they don't have to aim for mass market appeal and easy mass production. Taste is subjective, so "quality" can be said to be pretty subjective too, but these attributes are what I personally find to be indicators of quality. Encre Noir provides something out of left field and performs great. It could easily be sold at niche prices and I would still buy it.

>>8983083
>>8983095
Pretty much invented and perfected the salty aquatic. I give them a little nod every time I wear my Creed Imperial Millisime.

>>8983416

*Niche fragrance companies/lines

>>8983020
Niche perfumes are usually produced by _very well known_ perfumers, who are given greater freedom than they usually get and who oftentimes feature more prominently in the marketing, as those who buy niche perfumes generally care about that sort of thing. Just go look at the Frederic Malle line.

>>8965227

terre d'hermes smells like an old man dude and nothing like oranges

>>8985633
It's pretty legit, but very busy, spicy and loud. The reformulated version currently in stock apparently lost some of it's depth (probably due to the outlawing of oakmoss and other ingredients), but I still find the opening a right punch in the face. I'd say winter only.

>>8985894
>terre d'hermes smells like an old man dude and nothing like oranges

>literally one of the most recognized and classic orange peel notes in modern perfumery

Dude, you're embarrassing yourself.

Negress is that some Pure muthafucking malt?

>>8987007

Of course. Gotta keep up with the meme hype train after all (well a couple of years ago anyway). It's honestly a bit sweet and berry like for my taste. Expected something more boozy. Women absolutely love it though, and it gives massive projection for 8+ hours easy.

>>8985894
>terre d'hermes smells like an old man dude and nothing like oranges

What are some good smells for 50 dollarydoos and less? I got ENCRE NOIRE for cold weather and need something for spring/summer.

>>8987598

ck one. It's still the best citrus scent going.

Deo: Nivea Men Sensitive
The smell is subtle. It just smells like Soap.
Fragrances: Wonderwood, Pal Zileri Sartoriale for autumn/winter; Rocky Mountain Wood for spring/summer.

Gotta have that wood smell all year long :^)

>>8987636

Hey, at least you know what you like :)
I've been wanting to get my nose on Wonderwood. Is it good?

>>8987622
I don't know. That's some pretty mediocre still-in-highschool mallscent stuff if you ask me. Should be able to find Versace Pour Homme or L'Eau d'Issey for cheap online if he's looking for that sort of standard slightly aquatic citrus thing.

>>8987706

cko is a versatile classic; Issey is for faggots.

>>8987598

Midnight in Paris

You can get the 125 ml version for less than 40 $. I blind bought it and never regreted it

It's my signature scent, you can wear it whenever and women love it.

>>8987731

It's popular, and plain as fuck. It's not hated or anything, but it definitely has a mediocre reputation.

>>8987748

It's a good scent, like a more accessible Bvlgari Black, but notice he's asking for spring/summer stuff. MiP is for cold weather.

>>8969572
>Rochas Man
Thinking of blind buying this. Does it smell too much like Axe/Lynx Dark Temptation?

>>8983441
but they appear to a smaller audience and are produced on a smaller scale than, say, Chanel No 5
thus making them more difficult to get

>>8987968

They're more expensive, but hardly difficult to get a hold off if you can stomach the price and shipping costs. Vintage perfumes are something else entirely, those are perfumes that have gone out of production or been reformulated. They pop up on ebay, or on sites like fragrancex once in a while when they find old stock sitting somewhere, and usually go for multiple times their original price.

Anyone have Bleu de Chanel?

I'm considering it for nightwear. I've got one of those sample cardthings and I reallly like the scent, but it's a bit strong. May just be the card thing though. Anyone recommend it?

I wear DSquared2 He Wood during the day.

>>8987706
>Wonderwood.
It's wood in a bottle. Next to no sweetness, some pepper. I love it and get compliments but it's not for everyone.

>>8988005

I've sampled both the EDT and the EDP and neither really speak to me. I want something to jump out a me, but Bleu just feels like a hodgepodge of notes. Seems like something one could use as a signature scent though as it was kind of versatile. Of the two I'd say the EDP struck me as the most suited for night wear as it was deeper and sweeter. I don't own it though, so this is on the basis of one sampling/comparison.

What do. My ass sweats like fuck and it smells like... a sweating ass. And trust me i'm clean as fuck, i wipe my ass after a shit and take showers on a daily basis but my ass just smells when i sweat.

>>8989160
eat less shitty food, make sure your ass is completely dry after shower
if you're still starting to sweat and other anons dont have a solution right when you feel sweat go into the nearest bathroom and wipe your ass
this works for me

>>8988005
bleu de channel becomes powdery on acid skin and lose its first notes quickly. try it on a few days and try moderate exercise. the sweat may wash it off.

i have platinum egoiste 2 and its stronger signature scent that fits a fresh douche adequately imo.

chanel has also allure sports series that deserve to be looked into.

>>8988975

What is she like? What does she like?

I'm big into women pulling off old-school Guerlain stuff like Shalimar and L'Heure Bleue, but that's not for everyone.

Only started wearing scent this year.

Like Armani Code and Armani Aqua Di Gio,

Thinking of Burberry Brit Rythym, anyone recommend?

>>8989504
>Burberry Brit Rythym

Don't buy shitty flankers that have nothing to do with the original and are only trying to cash in on a name. It's gotten shit reviews and is apparently a sweet synthetic mess instead of the chocolaty wood and leather combo the marketing portrays it as.

If you're looking for a deep fragrance with leather and wood, go check out Fahrenheit or Gucci pour Homme (if you can find it). If you're more interested in some kind of chocolate+leather thing Midnight in Paris which was mentioned earlier sort of has that vibe.

>>8989160
>americans think washing their ass is GAY
idk baby powder maybe

I went to the store today. I'm new to this so I smelled way too many fragrances in an attempt to see what the fuck I even like. One that stood out to me (probably because I got sprayed with it) is Burberry Touch. I liked it but people have pretty strong mixed opinions of it online. One of my friends, a girl, told me it wasn't very masculine to her, and some reviewers share the same sentiment. I don't think that bothers me much, though. Does anyone have any thoughts on it? Similar fragrances?

>>8990636

If you like it, you like it. It seems a bit boring to me, although I am a big fan of woody floral musks as a genre. I'd go back to the the store and compare it with Fahrenheit and Gucci Pour Homme II. Test them on your skin, not a strip of paper, and let them sit on you throughout the day so you can see how they develop.

>>8990636

(All three fragrances are WFM, with violet leaf as the dominant top note (likely the note that grabbed you)). Remember that Fahrenheit will be pretty smokey to start with, that may or may not be your thing.
