I have worked in fragrance (Europe). the top fragrances that people from mainly MENA take 10-15 sprays of (or just steal) are

1 Million - Paco Rabanne
Spicebomb - Viktor & Rolf
Invictus - Paco Rabanne
Le Male - Jean Paul Gaultier
The Scent - Hugo Boss
Boss Bottled - Hugo Boss
Only The Brave - Diesel
Code - Giorgio Armani
Kouros - YSL

some of them are just popular in general.
I have gotten turned off from almost all designer scents since working in fragrance because I get too reminded of the work environment... and the different kinds of customers we had who liked all the hideous scents. I find it hard to enjoy fragrances nowadays... except for a few designer scents and select niche brands.

It's a bit of a long process to be honest. You can find something you like and which is pleasant to wear relatively easily, but finding something which really suits and compliments you and your style can take a bit longer.

A good place to start is just your personality - are you very introverted and quiet? Then perhaps a fragrance which behaves similarly and isn't huge/doesn't project hugely is a start, and vice versa.

>Colonia Assoluta, Acqua di Parma
Heady dose of jasmine and citrus; very sweet. Uplifting and bright as a Cologne should be. Creamy smooth base after it settles down. Old world feel. Almost formal.
>Gramercy Park, Bond No 9
Melony green soft floral. Gentle and particularly suited for / evocative of Spring. Unique.
>Voleur de Roses, L Artisan Parfumeur
Transparent three-note fragrance. Juicy plum, dusky rose, and a soil-like patchouli. Possibly the most perfectly named fragrance (Rose Thief). Cold season / evenings only.

You work for CB or something? Oh wait you said Europe, CB is in NY.

Anyway, would probably never wear/like any of those, I'm gonna write my "to try" list of decants/samples below, if any anons have good suggestions add something:

>Slumberhouse generally (I have Norne and love it, really want to try their other offerings)
>CdG generally (basically the most interesting ones to me: Black, Hinoki, 2 Man, Kyot, although I'm not impressed by the scent of the Blue Santal I have)
>Serge Luten Fille en Aiguilles
>Lalique Encre Noire (just want to buy a full bottle, mentioned in almost every frag thread)

On the maybe list are Zoologist/Imaginary Authors (need to look into their offerings more). Wish I could get samples/decants easier in Canada... :(

>super fresh
Isn't exactly what AdP are good at, though. Most of their eaux de Cologne have some lavender or spice or resins in them, yielding some degree of "barbershop" vibe.

I love Colognes and have a decent collection of fragrances in the genre. The "freshest" I own is Dior Homme Cologne, which is a simple dry musky citrus. Also in the "fresh" category is The Different Company Tokyo Bloom, which is absolutely lovely, light yellow dandelion with accompanying green notes. Less refined and more affordable but very close to Tokyo Bloom in style is Thierry Mugler Cologne. All three should meet your expectations for high summer heat without becoming cloying.

[Anonymous No.11710442]

HAIL TO THE KING BABY!

Very divisive, so try before you buy, but make sure you try it on a hot day before you make up your mind. It was originally marketed as a summer frag, and absolutely shines in the heat.

If I like B&G The One, what else should I try? So far I've got Odin 11 Semma on a sample order at Perfumed Court but I want to add a few more.

Specifically, it's notes like clove, ginger, anise, cinnamon, cardamom, basil, mint that I'm looking to explore. Is there a pho fragrance?

There are several that I've found through basenotes searches but I'd have to blind buy or pay $10 or more to sample most of them.

>>11708936
Yep. Yet another reason to be contrarian and spend lots of money on being a special snowflake... or even making your own scents. Wearing the same scent identifies you with, or connects you to, another person. There are so many people wearing many common scents that I would never want to fraternize with from a fragrance point of view... I think it's quite common for people to think that though. That's partly why some spend so much money on fragrances that most other people can't afford or get their hands on. It's a matter of personal identity, same as with a lot of personal style choices...

>>11709211
It is the #1 scent of the "fragrance parasites" in stores.
1 Million testers are emptied the fastest, stolen the most, and the "customers" are the rudest and loudest.
Wearing 1 Million is in practice aposematism... Stay away from this person as far as possible...
The bottle is a damn plastic gold bar. It really tells you something about the fragrance and who wears it.

>>11709758
Yeah... No. I just don't like most fragrances nowadays for approximately the same reasons as CB...

Pretty much boils down to longevity my guy. My 2016 bottle lasts like 2 hours max and projects well for an hour. Apparently the early bottles would project and last really well. The actual liquid is apparently lighter in colour in the newer batches as well. It's sad when companies do this.

[Anonymous No.11713695]

>>11712334
Pretty much agree w everything you said. Lots of fuccbois here make fun of vintage or niche, but on the contrary, why would you want to smell common? Dousing yourself in Invictus is the olfactory equivalent of wearing a sideways cap while riding a hoverboard. Wearing a shitload of Aventus doesn't make you irresistible, it makes you a hopeless cologne guy. People who assume the popularity of a fragrance = likeliness to get laid and get into fragrance for that reason are either underage and naive or the lights-are-on-but-no-one's-home type; the clout of these people online compared to the small cult willing to seek out a unique signature really hits home why perfume has a generally negative association in the US.

>>11713619
It's not so much the frag you chose, although Interlude Man is far down the list of frags I would have chosen for a date, especially a daytime one, but the fact that you wore so much. If you had done one spray on your chest she might have only smelled it when licking your nipple. How many sprays and where, out of curiosity? And how long before the date?

[Anonymous No.11713829]

>>11713733
Depends on the atomizer. If it's a Travalo or clone, you pull off the atomizer head of your bottle and stick the Travalo on the exposed tube. If not, you can fill it by spraying in to it. Try to press slowly and the juice will come out as a stream, rather than a mist. A funnel is helpful, but not necessary. A pipette is only for spashes or bottles from which you can unscrew the atomizer. Do not attempt to remove a crimped on atomizer, as you will destroy it.

I would say don't stress and seek out something else. Try the Parfum & see if you like that, maybe even ultime. Some people have better performance with the frozen cologne version. I don't know man, despite what Jeremy will say; it's not the be all end all fragrance.

I always apply my fragrance after I've used unscented moisturiser to my neck. I have generally dry skin so that tends to help a little bit. Also, buy some atomisers and leave one in your jacket if you're in a colder climate. (Make sure it has a lid). So if you really want to rock a reformulated La Nuit, pop 3-5 sprays before you go somewhere and then after 2 hours or so, head to the bathroom and respray with 2-3. As long as you don't change fragrances, people generally won't notice you've done it and there isnt any stigma.

Yes, it smells magical when you get whiffs of it. Then the bubblegummy heart hits and it's the sweet sweet smell of teenage mistakes and stupidity.

It's not really as sweet as everyone claims it to be (I find the tonka centric gourmands sweeter). It's just that the golden suede in it is so loud and obnoxious.

Depends on the fragrance, how bad/different the reformulation is and how inflated the prices are for vintage juice. As a fan of classic fragrances with now-banned ingredients like oakmoss and civet, I will prefer a vintage bottle if easily found on eBay for not a lot more money. I have found a bunch of vintage bottles for close to, or even less thab what a new bottle costs, but I am patient. I have a first release of a 1.7oz Fahrenheit that I got for $41 a few years back. Score.

Unremarkable besides the tamarind note. Too much Iso E Super. I don't usually drop the "synthetic" about fragrances, but White really does come across as a mélange of laboratory aroma compounds.

A high quality alternative to White that I stumbled upon recently is Mancera Kumkat Wood. It's cleaner and much more natural smelling, while retaining the tart citrus and cedar core of White. Very much a crowd pleaser, with strong EdP performance.

If you have a hard on for tamarind in particular, The Different Company South Bay features a very realistic tamarind in a vetivered Cologne.

Yes and no. A lot of reformulations are also to do with the rights a company has to the fragrance. If for some reason they don't own full rights to the formula, they do their best to rebuild it from the ground up as best they can to get sole rights to it.
The EU regulations however did affect oakmoss in fragrances which is a pretty big deal. Affected tons of old Dior classics and countless others.

They're flankers...aka scents created to cash in on the success of the original. They may take certain accords or notes from the original composition and tweak them in a way as to create a 'new' scent...although this isn't always the case, there are flankers that smell nothing like the original at all. Pretty much every designer house does this. That said, at least all of the Allure Homme flankers are decent to very good fragrances. Most of the time flankers are just useless cash-grabs.

maybe

I didn't like it as much as I thought I would when I SAMPLED it (why didn't you sample it first baka)

anyways, it's a very dirty jasmine so it's not girly, still feminine though since it's still fucking jasmine. the most interesting but potentially most off-putting aspect of the fragrance is that you occasionally get this smell like slightly sweet, soil and dried sweat covered skin. depends on how well you get along with animalic accords, which I am not a big fan 2bh

Wearing Kouros for the first time today. Goddamn this is perfect sprayed just out of the shower. By the time you step out of the house the top will have burned off and it becomes a very masculine, musky scent.

I do get the restroom reference, but that's more of the lemony aldehydes having something in common with urinal cakes. That in combination with the civet gives that covered-up piss reference (not literal smelling like piss). But given time to dry down it's actually soapy and powdery and clean, yet manly at the same time. Very 80s.

Wearing this gives a middle finger to all modern aquatic/sport fragrances.

About to go on a first date soon, and I've been contemplating what to wear. I think my best option would be Versace Pour Homme, it's a very light and inviting fragrance that regularly garnishes compliments. I really enjoy Paco Rabanne's Invictus although it seems to have a fair bit of notoriety and I wouldn't want to risk making a poor impression. Azzaro Visit also seems like a suitable candidate, not a fragrance I've encountered in public. It has a bit of a feminine nuance to it which I believe
this person may appreciate. Tommy by Tommy
Hilfiger seems a bit too sporty and over bearing
for a casual night out, so I think it'd be safe to rule out. My other frags I'd consider to be off the table are Davidoff Zino and Azzaro Onyx.
Zino has a very rich woodsy and dark essence
that would seem inappropriate for both
occasion and season. Onyx is ungodly musky.

Love the contrast between clean soap and the musk. I can imagine wafts of it being suprisingly sexy while having it too much, too close could be too animalic. Today I went three sprays under the shirt and one at the back of the hand. Tomorrow I'll try walking into two sprays in the air and see how it goes.

Newb, got a few I loved plus samples in stores/online. Beautyspin samples are $1-3 as opposed to $3+ at perfumed court but their availability is random.

I think I want a more woody fragrance. Platinum Egoiste opened nicely but I got sick of it the longer it wore on. I think I'll give Dior Homme another shot but not before trying some others -- like the intense and parfum versions.

yet another new TFPB out this year (this one is number 8 after the 2 Neroli Portofino flankers, the 4 Vert series scents, and Soleil Blanc)

apparently it's basically just a green Tuscan Leather: leather, violet leaf, cardamom, jasmine sambac, oakmoss and patchouli.

It was almost unbearably acrid. When I applied it, it smelled more like I'd spilled pure bitter essential oil on myself. It mellowed out a few hours after I tried to wash it off but was still at best a 3/5.

That's many people's first reaction to vetiver in general. One day you'll come back to TFGV and wonder how you could be so wrong. I guess it's just having a young nose and not sampled enough variety / quality of perfumes to appreciate its craft.

Which "others with vetiver" have you sampled, and where are they on your spreadsheet? You don't list any other vetiver-centric fragrances. Including vetiver among its notes does not make a fragrance about vetiver, which TFGV definitively is. (Vetiver and citrus)

Well yes, as in I could make out a vetiver note. Going by this fragrance, vetiver is best kept in the background, or at least not adjacent touching you blaring an amplifier at maximum volume. Platinum Egoiste was almost a 5/5, but I started feeling queasy from it several hours in.

Kenzo Tokyo. Found it cheap, haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm trying to wear them one at a time.

>I could make out a vetiver note. Going by this fragrance, vetiver is best kept in the background
Based on your list of samples and haves, I don't think you have the breadth of experience to make that call. You could just say "I guess I don't like vetiver" and accept that you are interested mallcore fragrance and internet meme lists more than actual perfumery.

>want to try
>1 million
>perry ellis red
>just me paris hilton
>ysl ysl ysl, dior, chanel
>meme gold

If you're serious about getting into fragrance (you keep a fragrance spreadsheet and type using semicolons on Bosnian imitation perfumery irc servers; it looks like you're serious), the best thing you can do is to buy a 5ml spray decant of that TFGV and wear it for a few weeks straight, day and night. See how it treats you. If you want to substitute Guerlain Vetiver, go for it. But either way, you're not a man until you love vetiver.

[Anonymous No.11731534]

Sorry, I have a tendency to take for granted that everyone asserts their own taste especially around here. As an aside, I'm not all that versed with smells in general because I had great difficulty breathing through my nose for most of my life. And Grey Vetiver hit me like a shot of distilled pine resin straight up my nose. No, I am not going to wear something that makes me feel ill and congested just to try and build a tolerance to it. I'm sure my tastes will drift but not because I'm training them.

Looking at the Paris Hilton thing it was probably from searching lime or clove and clicking on everything that seemed possibly interesting. And the mallcore stuff also happens to be things I can walk over and try whenever I want, for free.

doesn't mean you have to wear unbearably banal shit though.

I have allergic rhinitis that fucking destroys me. I feel fatigued and like I have half a brain most of the time, but I never really encounter problems with fragrances.

I've got news for you buddy, not every man wants to smell like their grandpa's coffin. People are entitled to their own opinions on frags, thats what makes the community unique.

>I spend $250 on niche frags and am superior to everyone, their tastes are mall-tier
Mall tier shit (i.e. designer) is perfectly fine for those of us who don't want to take out a second mortgage just to smell like and old leather boot for a few hours. Remove TF's flaccid penis from your rectum before browbeating another person into liking your old man taste

One nice thing about designer fragrances is that you can actually try them/get samples for free, or if not free then much cheaper on sites like beautyspin than from on demand decanters like perfumed court. The retailers around here like Sephora and Nordstrom only have a handful of Tom Fords between them, and pretty much nothing more niche than that.
