can we also talk about candles?
i want to buy a diptyque candle this winter, but is that even a good choice? anyone got experiences?

>>9071033

there is still one up, douchebag.

>>9071083
i know /fa/'s a slow board, but that thread is on auto-sage

>>9071033
E'ryone post your Fall/Winter rotations

Whats a good casual fragrance for everyday usage?

Just a fragrance that is nice and nobody could possibly be offended/annoyed by.

Pic related probably.

>>9071119
>CdG Odeur 53
>Kenzo eau de toilette boisée
>Galimard, 1

>>9071119
cdg standard and hinoki

>>9071131

How inoffensive are we talking here? Citrusy aquatics _can_ be interpreted as somewhat sour/alcoholic.

Can't get much more inoffensive than pic related.

>>9071119

DHI
Burberry London
Pure Malt
Encre Noir
Fahrenheit Absolute

>>9071159
Noticeable when around person and just a light smell. Something you would wear to church.

>>9071179

If you want to be discreet: Mugler Cologne
If you want to fit in with the church smell: CdG 2 Man

>>9071179
you dont wear perfume to church you uncultured swine

anyhow, you just want a boring cookie-cutter fragrance, let's call things their own names, something like ervell schneider of fragrances.

well, I'm not much of a help to you, but now that I've specified and translated your request, someone else might be.

>>9071192
>he doesn't wear perfume to church

>>9071119
mainly wonderwood,(inb4 meme) its been my winter signature for almost 4 years
also using samples from cdg blue encens & cedrat which i quite like

help my find something else?
specifically something for going out/evenings

>>9071037
just found lola james harper on colette, sounds pretty good and isnt too expensive
will either try vinyl store or red garden

Current Summer Fragrance is Type C. Thinking of copping either 2 Man, Hinoki or Marrakech

I smelled this in a magazine.
Will I regret it if I cop?

>>9071294
Why ask us? If you really enjoy it and think you're gonna impress, go for it. Perfume is an intensely more subjective playing field than clothes, trust your instincts.

>>9071037
I'm into reed diffuses at the moment. Using this at the moment, its Coconut & Vanilla.

Going to switch soon though as it's a bit "sickly" smelling after a while.

>>9071294

If you enjoy it you'll probably enjoy the original Dior Homme and the well liked Dior Homme Intense.

Dior Homme Eau is basically a lighter version of Dior Homme with more citrus. I'd get either that or Dior Homme Sport for summer if I could not live without that iris note during all seasons, but I'm good with just rocking DHI during winter/fall.

>>9071286
been wanting to sample type c for a while how is it? longetivity?

anyone smell pic related yet? I found it to be surprisingly good and accessible for an oud of that price. complex and has relatively good longevity on my skin.

I really love the smell of Lampe Berger diffusers. All the scents are nice and they deodorize and kill germs in the air. The huge collection of lamps is wonderful, too.

>>9071351
It's pretty good for summer, it's inoffensive, smells like sea air kinda. Doesn't last as long as a CDG perfume would, but still not bad, I usually only put one spray on anyways. If you do end up buying, be warned the spray is rly weak, like limp dick weak.

>>9071119

Doubt it

>>9071387

Gucci has not launched a good new line since Tom Ford left.

>>9071119
i just bid on a 3.4oz la nuit del'homme
hope its nice lol

>>9071439

Really? Concentree de Orange Verte? I'm not complaining, it's an awesome fragrance, but to me that's like the quintessential summer fragrance.

>>9072062
just named my collection, not some inspirational "perfect" winter rotation. I'll probably use the scent though as I like variation nonetheless (s-sorry)

>>9071119
>orange star
my nigga

there needs to be more citrus scents that can work in cooler weather

Can I please have some suggestions for a nice summer fragrance. Also what is the consensus on Dior aqua Fahrenheit

Molecule 01. Every season. Every day.

>tfw people really like citrusy smells
>tfw I like woodsy smells
>tfw I never get to wear them or people complain
>tfw all the colognes I like people say are for older men

>>9074063

It's a flanker done right. It evokes the original fahrenheit, but brings something new to the table (new citrus-based opening, mint in the mid). Good for Summer/Spring.

>>9071159
Dior homme edt 2005

make sure it's the 2005 edition please

>>9074043
>citrus scents that can work in cooler weather

The only other one I can think of might be Creed Orange Spice

does anyone know a uk/euro site for samples. I really want to try a creed fragrance but shits expensive to find out it not my thing

>>9071033

frags don't really stick to me. I put them on and an hour later I don't smell anything. GF confirms it just gets eaten by my skin.

The only frag that hasn't disappeared so far is Boss Orange and I think it's because it's a bit oilier - but I don't really like it much.

Any advice?

>>9074968
Same here.. Anyone wanna chime in and help us out? I moisterize and it makes it a bit better.. Probably cause I'm using creed though , I find that tom fords last on my skin

>>9074967
most creeds aren't that bad.. I blind bought millisime imperial and aventus

>>9074971
There are some oils you can use to extend the life of fragrance, but maybe you should spray on clothes instead?

>>9074975
I mean, I'm sure they arent that bad but I want to actually like something im spending £100 on, not just feel indifferent about it

>>9074996
Ya I feel you, they aren't mindblowing fragrance but they do get used frequently plus all the bitches love aventus, try out some amouages like jub xxv, memoir man, epic man

>>9074967
i recently saw that luckyscents ships to europe for not too much money
but i'm worried about customs, cba to pay 20% more for a few samples

>>9075019
I've wanted to try irish tweed

>>9075049
thanks man i'll have a look

>>9075053
>>9075049
samples only 8$

>>9075061
i couldnt find the creed ones

Jil Sander Man Pure 1981. Only vintage bottles, no re-edition.
Zino Davidoff.
Chanel Egoiste.

>>9075070
you must be exceptionally stupid
but it seems they dont have GIT

>>9071037
Diptyque is good if you want individual accords, and they do have holiday candles, as well. But I'm more partial toward Cire Trudon, and Astier de Villatte. Real curious about Frederic Malle's candles, since I love "Russian Nights", and "Cafe Society".

>>9071131
Acqua di Gio if you can get over how everyone uses it - great scent though, as the name implies, it's a fruity aquatic
Gucci pour Homme II - very weak projection but smells incredible - lots of black tea with lavender and stuffs
Terre d'Hermes - earthly, green tones, smells very fresh, not synthetic at all
CdG 2 - Fizzy ink smell, very unique and
strange smelling but gets compliments from everyone
Boss Bottled - fruits
Chanel Allure Sport - a nice aquatic which draws a lot of compliments

How plebby are Yankee Candles? I like using them.

>>9075557
They're not plebby. If you like how something smells, it's price should be relatively inconsequential.

>>9074968
>>9074971

Moisturizer helps. You might just have to seek our borderline insane powerhouses though. Problem is, people are often sort of split on whether they like them. Love/Hate:

>Kouros
>1 Million
>Le Male
>A*Men

There are better perfumes with great longevity, but they don't perform like "monsters" for everybody:

>Dior Homme Intense
>L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme Eau Extreme
>The original M7 if you can find it.

Of course, If you've got money niche is where it's at:

>Black Afgano by Nasomatto
>Amouage Interlude
>Pretty much anything by Montale.

>>9075053

If you're in the UK you can just go try it at the shop you privileged little fucker.

Are you sure what you're smelling is TdH? It smells incredibly synthetic and is more citrusy than earthy, although those notes are also there. Not as bright as other citrus scents, more like a late summer afternoon than a spring day. It's 55% Iso E supposedly.

>>9076246
My europoor version is different from your amerifat ones, there's recently passed laws that make its Iso E % around 21%, considering that Iso E is the only synthetic part of it, it smells incredibly natural.

>>9076288

That's nothing to brag about. Iso E is the fucking bomb, and they totally killed a great fragrance with their reformulation bullshit. I'm hoarding my stash like crazy.

>>9076288

I've started to grow tired of my bottle. Probably because I knew someone who over applied like crazy. A more natural smelling TdH sounds intriguing.

Pretty basic candles but they were cheap and they smell good.

>>9076381

You can always check out the EdP version.

>>9074971
>>9074968
apply behind/under ears where your skin is naturally more oily

>>9076318
I don't like the laws. I fucking love Iso E, thank god I still have my Molecule 01. Terre d'Hermes can just be layered with Molecule 01 to smell a bit more like the pre-reformulation, but that's just an assumption as I've never smelt the old one

>>9074971
>>9074968
my skin is also shit, but I carry atomisers
they're p. cool and cheap too

>>9075442

Good retailers in the UK?
I've been using allbeauty and escentual but neither of them stock super-niche stuff like Frederic Malle or Diptyque.

>>9076965

At least Allbeauty has Creed and Bond No 9. My shops aint got shit.

>>9076965

If you're close to London you can just go for a walk. Harrods and Salon De Parfums has plenty of stuff, while lots of the bigger niche houses like Amouage have their own stores scattered around town.

>>9076965

Oh yeah, and https://bloomperfume.co.uk/..

>>9076238
the doors are open, friend. god is waiting for you.

>>9076987
damn thats some super-niche stuff

>PG06 L’Eau Rare Matale by Parfumerie Générale
pffft

for germans:
http://www.ausliebezumduft.de/

they also let you order samples only

>>9077057

Yeah they carry some pretty cool brands, and a lot of shit I've never even heard about.

>>9077063
Sounds pretty cool. I love tea fragrances. You know anything about it?

>>9077100
Nah, the name is just ridiculous.
Fragrantica got me nothing but peppery citrus tea sounds great.

>>9077111

Matale is a tea growing region in India, but yeah, it does sound like "rare metals" :P

>>9077072
thats also a great selection
never knew heeley made candles, "forest fire" sounds pretty cool

anyone into candles should check http://sydneyhaleco.com/collections/candles-1 the fuck out
these are amazing.

>>9077268
thanks!
theres only one european shop unfortunately with a limited selection

I have some Mont Blonc, it doesn't have a spray so I've just been putting my finger over the opening, quickly flipping it upside down, and then dabbing it on my chest.
Is this the appropriate way to do it?

Also how do you guys spray? I have a sample with a spray. Do you spritz some into the air and walk into it or spritz some several inches away from you?

Anyone else think this smells good? I use the bodywash

>>9078164
I typically do the spritz inches away from you method. The misting and walking into just doesn't seem like I'm getting as much as I could and wasting the cologne.

>>9078404
If I don't drink beer out of a can why would I want to smell like a can.

>>9078435
Bourgeoisie pig, whats wrong with beer from can?

>>9078481
>drinking out of aluminium

stay woke

>>9078164
for some samples that I have that don't have a spray, I'll open the little vial, hold it up to my neck and then lean into it and press it against my skin, and then lean away and remove it, as to not spill.

I wouldn't spritz and walk into, that seems like kind of a waste, I usually just spray a few inches away

>>9071033
Currently have Nuit d'Issey, before was Davidoff Coolwater.. wanting something different, any ideas?
