Don't let this thread die please.

>>9392010
Considering this one too, a lil pricey but in the ok range.

>>9392010
can you recommend me a fragrance that will fit my beirutcore old-book-store-and-navy-striped-white-tee overall looks? Pic kinda related

>>9392099
Thanks for the help.

I wear "Poivre Piquant" by "L'artisant Parfumeur" and i've had a lot of people telling me it smell nice (it as a subtle pepper smell).

>>9392025
dont worry, there will be at least two hundred posts of people either bragging about their mall-tier claptrap or asking which mall-tier claptrap they should buy

including, but not limited to:
YSL - l'homme, nuit de l'homme
D&G - the one
Versace - the dreamer
PR - 1 million
IM - l'eau d'issey
D^2 - he wood
Gucci - PHII, Envy
Chanel - Bleu de Chanel
JPG - le male
GA - acqua di gio, code
joop
spicebomb
Diesel - only the brave, fuel for life
Burberry - london

if your fragrance is listed here, theres no need to post here obnoxiously about how many compliments you get or how your super-secret-elite-juice gets the bitches wet. you are a fuccboi

versace eros

>>9392140
I searched for reviews and they say it doesn't have a good performance. By this I mean it lacks longevity and sillage. What's your opinion on this statement?

>>9392185
No thanks, I don't want to give a pimp first impression.

Anyone?

>>9392070
oh, i freaking love that one. get it.

special snowflake detected

looking for recs for some more versatile winter frags, I have Avant Garde but I want to add one or two to the rotation. Mont Blanc Individuel is really interesting me, especially with it being so cheap

>>9392150
What fragrances do you like?

>>9392636
probably niche like Tom Ford.

>>9392150
Although I somewhat agree with you, your attitude and delivery pisses me off. Fuck you.

>look at me, I'm abbreviating these designers' names because they're so common and ordinary to me

Next time, save yourself even more time by not posting at all.

>>9392150
>theres no need to post here obnoxiously
next time take your own advice

>>9392641
if you're right then lmao

tom ford is not even close to being objectively better than half the fragrances the guy listed. just because they aren't as expensive and are more common doesn't mean they smell worse. some of TF's shit smells awful for the price. nesides he isn't even niche

also

wat do and budget recommendations pls

>>9393874

if you were really on a budget, why not just buy 1 or 2 nice bottles? you could get that for what all of those things you listed cost.

>>9393886

It's not so much that i'm on a budget, because even a $60 bottle of perfume lasts me like half a year of heavy use. It's more-so I refuse to spend big dollars on a bottle of perfume that has been inflated in price because ITS CALVEN KLAIN and I personally can't smell the difference between a nice $20 bottle and a nice $60 bottle.

The Hugo Boss one goes for like $60/150mL and i'm starting to prefer some of my cheaper options.

>>9393056
Hey, at least you would be another enthusiastic person helping others with fragrances. That's a lot better than the alternative.

Recently I went into an Hermes store, and started inquiring about their collection; and, even without sperging out, and keeping my questions relatively simple (like "is this an EDP or EDT"), and the stupid bitch that worked their was completely clueless, yet had the attitude that she knew every nuance about their fragrance collection. I swear, Hermes employs some of the dumbest, yet most arrogant people on the planet.

If you can do better than that, you're doing an amazing job.

>>9392010
Encre Noir smells like earthy roots. Its pretty nice if you are into that, but it is a rather strange almost eccentric scent.

It's very /fa/ if thats what you are shooting for.

OP here, need opinions on:

>Dior Homme Intense
>Chanel Egoiste

HALP

>>9393917
>big dollars
>calvin klein
wut?

You need to start looking at some fragrance websites and researching some new shit. There's literally an entire WORLD of fragrances out there that you're obviously completely oblivious to. As far as price is concerned, once you smell some actual nicer scents, you'll understand why your nautica and cool water are complete pleb tier.

>>9394645
No, that's not what I'm looking for.
I'm not looking for neither strange frags nor pantydroppers.
I just wanna smell like the classy 20yo I am.

>>9393055
op of the condescending post here

>>9394909
OP.
You seem like you have a vast knowledge of the fragrance world. I would really appreciate if you could give me some advice; as I stated, I'm looking for a classy winter/fall fragrance, in the $100-$120 price range.
Thanks.

I got Armani something for my Christmas and I haven't even bothered to open it.

>>9394938
I would suggest looking more into Spring/Summer fragrances, since we're more than a little half way through Winter. Nothing too aquatic, but light, dewy, wood/forest scents might be good.

>>9394938
im not the op op im just the original poster of aformentioned condescending obnoxious fuccboi list

im assuming by fall/winter you mean woods and spice, so:

divine - homme sage
cdg - wonderwood (i dont care for this myself but it is very popular)
cdg - 2 man
tauer - l'air du desert marocain (on the sweet side, maybe youll still like it)
polo - double black

poke around on basenotes and fragrantica. the rabbit hole goes deep

I have YSL la nuit and I love it, what other fragrances should I try?

>>9394938
>I'm looking for a classy winter/fall fragrance
*tips fedora*

>>9394959
What about:

>Versace Pour Homme

>>9394633
Oh wow. Thanks for that... Easy to forget that a lot of employees can easily fake it until the make it...

I am considering it, actually. I think it could be a fun thing to do make a living off, for a while at least. Helping primarily fashionable men and qts pick fragrances, as well as plebs ofc...

Do you tend to get more bang for your buck with EDP or water perfume?

>>9395062
not sure what you mean. eau de parfum designates a certain concentration of the fragrance, ranges from 15-20%. eau de toilette is generally from 5-15%. although EdP is more concentrated, it is usually also proportionally more expensive than its EdT version.

there are weird exceptions. sometimes the EdP is a bit of a different formulation, in terms of notes, from the EdT. sometimes the EdT has more projection and sillage than the EdP. as a general rule the EdP is more powerful, but be sure to read reviews before making a choice.

>>9392010
Encre noire is very good. Compare it with to more classic stuff like Guerlain Vetiver, Givenchy Vetyver, etc.

I also recommend, in a different style for the winter:

- "L'Art et la matière" collection by Guerlain
- Creed fragrances (Aventus being a favorite)
- Chanel Égoïste (not Platinum)
- Boucheron Jaïpur EDP
- Dior Homme Parfum (not especially rare, but very good anyway)
- Mugler A*Men Pure Malt
- Serge Lutens Muscs Koublaï Khän

>>9395130
If half the people around you think you stink it it's not a good perfume.I love it but when I wear it people tell me it smells bad.

>>9395175
Are you talking about Encre Noire?

>>9395130
Much appreciated.
Sure I'll search reviews on these frags, but I'm afraid I cannot afford a bottle of Creed.

>>9392150
No issue with any except Gucci envy. Isn't it a vintage treasure now? Thought it was discontinued 10 years ago.

>>9394909
Condescending OP delivers. All added to my candidate list.

>>9392010

Dior - Odeur de Fion

also, 'Bruit de mon Cul' by Chanel

>>9393874
>poor
>into fragrances
pick one because you can't be both.

>>9394974
These are some warm, spicy scents that share some similarities to La Nuit

Lanvin Avant Garde
Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb
Carolina Herrera CH Men
L'Occitane Eau de Beux
Salvatore Ferragamo F by Ferragamo Black
CK One Shock
Lancome Hypnose Homme

>>9392010

>/fa/ recoomended me encre noire
>It smells weed and skunk

>>9395201
"L'Art et la matière" fragrances by Guerlain are divine, but prices are similar to Creed.

The rest is more reasonably priced. If I had to keep only one of them, it would be Chanel Égoïste, my all-time favorite.

>>9395239
>>9395247
0/10

>>9395213
Agreed. I don't really see Gucci Envy posted on these threads that often. It's kinda pointless anymore, honestly. Can't hardly find a full bottle & they're crazy expensive now.

Yea.. I half agree with condescending anon's op, but there are plenty on his list that don't belong. Especially since 2 posts later, he recommended Polo Double Black.

You can't preemptively give people shit about "mall-tier" frags (listing ford era gucci, ysl, d&g, and others) & then recommend a fucking polo fragrance >>9394960

>>9395247

i kekked

>>9395106
To rephrase
Will $100 of EDP last longer than $100 of EDT?

>>9395416
What do you mean by "last longer"?

The smell lasting longer on your skin? (Generally, yes, but an EDT can have a better projection.) Or the bottle taking more time to become empty? (No way.)

>>9395432
Any idea how much sooner a $100 vial of EDP would run out than a $100 bottle of EDT?

>>9395291
don't say it's bad until you've actually smelled them

>>9395275

I bet you buy $70 supreme t-shirts too

>>9395460
> EDP vs. EDT performance
> EDP vs. EDT bottle lifetime
This can't be a factor. EDPs and EDTs of the same line almost always smell different enough that you would treat them as two different scents. So those other things you ask about are secondary.

A 100ml bottle of anything will last you about 5-10 years if you spray 1-2 times daily (and spraying more than that is a bad choice). If you're on/off about using it then it will pretty much last forever.

>>9394932
feels good man

Do you guys think that L'Instant de Guerlain is too strong/aggressive to wear to work?

>>9395947
Yea, kind of.

I see LIDG as more of an dressed-up evening kind of thing. Like for going to a nice dinner, or drinks at a more upscale bar.

Seems like it would be a bit much for every day workwear.

>>9396021
Really? The scent seems pretty tame and agreeable which I think would be good for the office.

Is the projection that monstrous? I'd like to know because I considered buying for that purpose and I've only sampled the extreme once.

>>9396021
That's what I was afraid of.

Is there something you would recommend me as an everyday scent? Some projection is fine, but nothing insane.

>>9394960

That's a very mediocre list of recs for someone as condescending as yourself. Polo black? Kek.

>>9396091
>>9396133
Don't get me wrong, I fucking love LIDG. I actually have a bottle of the discontinued Eau Extreme version coming in the mail right now. Stoked.

I dunno, that's just my initial opinion. I usually wear L'Homme as my every day "inoffensive" kind of deal. It's got decent longevity and modest projection. People will notice that you smell good when they get close enough, and you won't be the "too much cologne guy" at the office that stinks up the entire room.

A lot of people are saying they wear Bleu de Chanel for their "every day" lately it seems.

But hey, do what you think suits you best. You'll be able to tell if something is projecting too strong.

>>9396155
I will check out L'Homme, thanks for the tip!

What do you guys think of l'homme sport?

OP is a fag

New thread

has anyone tried this? I emailed versace trying to get a sample. Sounds awesome

you m or f?

>>9392150
Gucci Envy is discontinued

I've spent my Paco Rabanne black XS and now I'm looking for something new.

I was thinking about YSL body kouros but it has changed and it's not anything like the old body kouros.

Any recommendations ?

>>9398367
Do you want something sweet, more like XS, or something woody?
Also, is XS that good, as some people say and as much as I've heard?

>>9398390
I'd prefer something sweet but woody is also okay. My other scent I use is A*Men. But I'm open to suggestions.

XS is pretty good yeah, not as lasting as some other scents but I'd certainly recommend it to someone who is into sweet scents.

>>9395290
it doesn't keep on my skinf for more than 2 hours so I migh as well as wear it

>>9398412
If you are really really rich, get >>9392232.
Other than that, there's Avant Garde by Levine. It's fresh and sweet at the same time, it lasts enough and people won't smell it from across the street. I like woody scents so there's Jil Sander Man Absolute and Terre d'Hermes. The last one has a citrus accord. You might like Comme des Garcons 2 Man. However, test before you buy.

SHORT GUIDE HOW TO WEAR LE MALE:


1) one spray on your neck

>>9392150
if you have a bottle of envy you don't want ill take it
>>9395290
encre noir is the meme equivalent of pissing on your raws

>>9396802
no, but now i'm intrigued.

I layer one spray of Tom Ford Private Blend Tuscan Leather over top of two sprays of Tom Ford Private Blend Oud Wood. I smell fucking miraculous.

>>9399002
Versace told me the dont send samples. I haven't seen this at barneys, saks, nordstroms, etc.

Closest Versace Flagship store is 600 miles away from me. Really disappointed

Anyone know of a fragrance that smells like that smell after rainfall?

>>9399286
Oh my. I would like that. It's called petrichor, btw.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrichor

>>9399286

That actually has a name: petrichor. And it's basically a result of plant oils that have been absorbed by soil that volatilizes after rain. Demeter is a kooky company that does all these random "one scent" products and they actually make one called Dirt that tries to simulate that. It's really a novelty and it doesn't have much complexity or longevity, but it's fun.

Some patchouli-based scents can approximate elements of that mixture and you have woody/green/fresh scents like Diptyque's Philosykos, but that has a pronounced fig/fig leaf element. CB I Hate Perfume has played with various earthy/wet combinations, too.

Is there a place you can get fragrances a bit cheaper? I wanted to get some MMM, and while I could afford to walk into Sephora and get it, I'm CHEAP

>>9399476

Buy a decant of a scent on fragrance communities. Buy old bottles of eBay.

Encre noire is an extremely deep and sophisticated fragrance. It's sweet and heavy, and lasts unexpectedly long. I like it a lot! Honestly Lalique's Equus is one of the best fragrances ever invented.

I think this may be too subtle. I want to increase silage and projection so I'll try 1 on the neck and one on the forearm, then rubbing them together.

Thoughts on Strellson No 1? I haven't gotten the chance to try it. Looking for something different to wear to work.

>>9394974
Try CH men, it's incredible

Views on L'Homme for an everyday work scent? I Just want a nice smelling scent, something that is hard to say anything bad about.

>>9401351
u could defs use this as an every day scent but it's a bit feminine since it has fruity/spicy notes and you may get comments about that but it is a pretty light scent so who knos
