Any opinions on Dior Homme Intense by Christian Dior?
It seems to have the highest rating among the most popular fragrances on Fragrantica.

[Anonymous No.12929080]

Have been trying to get into fragrances lately and started with what I had around/some fairly blind buys (technically not blind since I actually tested them in the store but desu after more than a 4 minutes in a perfume section my nostrils get clogged with a general sweetness that skews all scents and I can barely make out what I'm smelling)

Here are the ones that I've liked -
YSL L'homme
Chanel Platinum Egoiste
Terre d'Hermes
Guerlain L'homme Ideal EDP
V&R Spicebomb

Out of these I liked the Hermes and YSL most.

I'd love some reccs, even just general directions as for stuff I might like - I'm pretty open to anything woody, fresh, citrusy, sweet, spicy and masculine

[Anonymous No.12929088]

>>12929075
It's an iris bomb like the original and its flankers.

If you're the kind of guy who can pull that off, then pull the trigger.

Otherwise, sample it if you're still curious.

Thoughts on acqua di parma colonia club ?
Thanks

[Anonymous No.12929117]

Looking for a dark, mysterious and unusual fragrance and after a bit of research I narrowed everything down to these:

> Encre Noire Lalique
> Slumberhouse Norne
> Memoir Man Amouage (if anyone has tried this please leave your opinion)
> Black Afghano Nasomatto
> Midnight in Paris Van Cleef & Arpels
> Dior Homme Intense Christian Dior
> Salvador Dali Pour Homme Salvador Dali

What are your thoughts and which do you think it's the best?

[Anonymous No.12929131]

>>12929117
I love Norne. It may be more comfy than mysterious. Think winter, fires burning to keep you warm, grey wool sweaters, perhaps even a viking longhouse.

Black Afghano I haven't tried, but I would worry about smelling too "dark" with that one. I cannot see why one would want to smell like that. Though I suppose that more than a few of these will be challenging.

[Anonymous No.12929138]

>>12929131
Yeah, I guess you're right about Afghano, it's probably the same about Salvador Dali. I don't know about Norne, I think Encre Noire can replace it since it also has that pine element.

[Anonymous No.12929142]

>>12929138
Encre Noir might have pine element, but if the vetiver comes through there is no chance it compares. Norne is all pine and smoke/incense/tar.

That said, I would sample all of these. Absolutely do not blind buy, these aren't inexpensive things.

>>12929117
Lalique Encre Noire is certainly dark and mysterious. But it is more of inhumane stark sternness, almost repulsing, than a suave gentleman with a Italian black coat and a gun.

I didn't like Midnight In Paris. In fact I didn't recognize it being dark.

I, too, think you need to buy samples.

They are generally very niche by being unusual, while even old man fragrances and female fragrances you wouldn't think about wearing are typical.

And there are possibilities, even if you like one you could hate six others.

Anon here again. I'm pleasantly surprised. I gave it a spray last night on the wrist and it's not similar to what I smelt out of the atomizer. I was wowed when I got a whiff of it actually, it feels like it all came together in a weird mix. It's mysterious, but still not as dark as other people say. The vetiver was not as present on my wrist (which I liked) and there was strong smokey deep wood in there. It was almost flowery on the dry-down. Extremely interesting and requires more testing.

I was intimidated by L'Extreme, but I think I should be more intimidated by the original. It seems like L'Extreme is toned down a bit. I've found I don't like bergamot as a top note with wood, it give it too much freshness. But I do like incense.

>>12929117
I've only tried Encre Noire (obviously) & Norne from that list. Norne is an absolute favourite but Encre Noire is more mysterious to me.

Honestly I just put on this shit I made myself out of some kind of spruce, some spices, and grape seed oil and it smells so good. I threw on some rose on top of it and might add vanilla (the baking extract) if I wanna ditch the scent's subtlety. (I don't bother with high tones because they're gone in 20 minutes anyway)

Am I hallucinating? Will the smell fade almost instantly? Am I a faggot and the only person this shit smells nice to or something? There's no way in hell making decent fragrance is this easy.

[Anonymous No.12929566]

>>12929549
I mean I realize this cheap-o bullshit is some kabucha-grower level frugal asshat bs and the whole idea of "cheap perfume" kinda undermines the pretentious cling to upperclass sensibilities as a status symbol and the whole "I bought it to feel nice" mentality that is so center to the practice of scents that we all love and that grape seed oil diy cant be a real fragrance purely because it's not expensive or a name brand

but as far as wearing it to moderately important public events and for layering the oil under other scents without feeling or smelling like a rancid naked emperor shitmonger, this spruce stuff isn't a huge mistake, is it?

Recently bought Dior Fahrenheit and really liking it. I want to know what's the consensus is on /fa/. Based on online reviews there seems a good divide between love and hate.

I'm already wanting to buy a second fragrance. Thinking of CDG Wonderwood and I've TF Tobacco Oud sample on it's way.

[Anonymous No.12929695]

I just cant decide y'all. I want a signature frag, I've tried so many and not one has been just right. I know I want something very woody, but nothing is quite doing it for me. I have tried Tam Dao, Hinoki, Kyoto, Rocky Mountain Wood, and Wonderwood. I thought I might have found it with wonderwood, but I like the way it smells on my wrist a lot more than it does on my neck. I have never smelled pepper so strong. Rocky Mountain wood really great and woody... it is just a little too linear and boring, I really would like something between it and Wonderwood.
I need to give tam dao another try, but I think it was a little too sweet for me, i prefer pine and cedar over sandalwood. I need more suggestions y'all.

Look up how to properly make fragrances. You've basically made some kind of a cheap fragrance oil.

Also, baking extract vanilla doesn't smell as nice as other vanillas. And I have no idea how spruce, spices (which?), vanilla and rose are supposed to all mix, but I mean... if it works for you, I guess? Still weird. Not going to say you shouldn't do it but just as long as you're aware that it's eccentric.

>It is very avant-garde and need to wear it with confidence.
That's what I've been doing anon. Two sprays on chest everyday ever since I bought it though I think I need to tone it down to one spray. Not sure how good the projection is since no one ever commented on it.

I really like everything about it, especially the really sweet musky smell when it dries down.

[Anonymous No.12929762]

>>12929710
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Dior Fahrenheit. The scent is very Avant-garde and without a solid grasp of theoretic perfumery, most of the notes will go over a typical wearer's head.

[Anonymous No.12929763]

>>12929649
Pineapple Vintage Intense is easily the closest. My only complaint with it is somewhat reduced longevity, but it still goes six to eight hours for me and it's getting better as my bottle ages. Otherwise it's a nearly perfect clone, better than the original in some ways (the pineapple note is actually more pronounced than in Aventus, and it's more realistic as well). You could easily fool veteran Aventus users with PVI in a double blind test, while other clones / Aventus-likes all have telltale differences which identify them as not-quite-Creed.

I don't get any bergamot in it (and checking fragrantica reviews almost no one does), however there is a certain degree of freshness in the drydown as patchouli comes into play. Extreme tones down the raw sharp green minimalism of the original and goes richer, more complex and dramatic.

Its weird. The opening of wonderwood has the woodiness I'm looking for. The dry down has the clean scent I'm looking for, almost sauvage-like, which I enjoy. But those peppery middle notes kind of turned me off. Maybe it is what I'm looking for after all.

Fahrenheit is like 80s heavy metal, leather, gasoline fumes, fresh cut grass. Most people say it's a winter fragrance but it feels hollow in the winter so I prefer it for summer. Its brutally strong so you only need 2-3 sprays

How's Fahrenheit doing for you? I got the 2017(?) bottle and I don't seem to smell it after a few hours, it went right to skin scent. Might be olfactory fatigue but I don't know, might also be because I spray it on my collarbones and my clothes are layered on it. I could only smell it again when I take a hot shower.

Also my TF Tobacco Oud sample arrived today. I'm new to fragrances and does oud in general smells like this? Tobacco Oud smells like cow shit and dead people to me. It was so repulsing I had to wash my hands several times. The projection and sillage is a beast though which is unfortunate.

I am very happy with the closeness of the match, and I'm on my second bottle of actual Aventus. It is rich smelling with a lush, clean opening. You get enough birch to identify the scent as Aventus, but it isn't heavily smoky. Definitely a better quality formulation than other clones.

It's hard to gauge the overall performance after only a few full days' wear from a new bottle but my early take is that it's about 75 percent of the projection with six hours of polite sillage. This could be attributed to differences in the sprayer output of each bottle, and it's based on a small sample of use. That it is slightly more mild makes PVI easier to wear than the Creed in that and perfect for daily wear. I'm ordering the Intense Noir before the weekend is over.

Alright shot in the dark here:

I'm a Normie, denim/flannel/tee/nikes. I usually wear ysl l'homme, Aqua du Gio roll on, or some banana republic that I got as a gift a year back.

I'm looking for something fairly "masculine" in the traditional sense. Musky, not really floral or spicy, and at least a little bit sensual. Something that when I hug a girl, she instantly gets a manly vibe from me. Maybe something woodsy, smokey, but deep and rich too. Probably not the best description but anyone have any suggestions?

Neither the EdT or the EdP are sillage monsters, but they both last a long fucking time.

The EdT has a smoother scent that will (with absolute certainty) give you olfactory fatigue if you over spray. It isn't a bright or cloying scent, so you will get the urge to over spray. Very useful for layering.

The EdP is more like a traditional frag. It's just as woody, but less subtle and noticeably amplified by the other notes.

If you like the EdT on its own, the EdP is worth the buy considering that it only comes in one size.

They're different. Designer frags tend to be more generic and crowd pleasing by design. Niche frags are often more adventurous, more experimental, more avant garde, things not everyone will necessarily like, but more interesting and evocative. Niche is fragrance for people who appreciate fragrance as an art and don't necessarily just want something that smells "nice".

YSL L'Homme is definitely more sensual and elegant, in a "gentlemanish" way, than AHSEE.

That said AHSEE is still a really sexy, crowd-pleasing cologne, with better performance than L'Homme. Both are great and will do you well but again, if you want a more sensual and elegant vibe, L'Homme would be more suitable imo.

good fragrance for a military man in his early 20s?

[Anonymous No.12934987]

You know how when you listen to a certain song, watch a certain movie or anything really... and it kind of moves you to another faraway, bygone time and place? Kind of nostalgic but for things you've never experienced?
I'm looking for something to emulate that abstract, emotional, mysterious and almost otherwordly mood.
Maybe something unique like how it smells in a pine-tree forest after it rains.
Or the scent of burning firewood or a campfire in the middle of a bone-chilling winter.
Could be something that smells almost "holy" like incense. Perhaps something dark but definatly masculine.
I hope this doesn't sound weird. I don't know how to properly express this hard to put into words abstract emotion.
Any recommendations? Pic not really related.

Got my first Aventus 10 days ago, greatly balanced, I can still smell it on my shirt after a week, and I can easily smell it on me after good 10 hours. Have also GIT but don't use it very often. Might get Millessime Imperial, but I'm woried about its longevity though.

IMO these are defeated if he is looking at Sauvage, as the Dior outperforms all of those easily and is the inspiration for the first two.

Stepmother dislikes TV. Says it's "too sweet". She said this about Boss Bottled too. While dad is most certainly too old to wear Boss Bottled, I don't think it's an awful scent either.

Depends very much on the person, but in my experience, most women, especially younger girls, love sweet scents. Most of the common "panty dropper" fragrances tend to be fresh, sweet, spicy scents.

Guy who ran a niche perfume store tried to tell me Sauvage is an Aventus clone after I mentioned CDNI being an Aventus clone, which he had no idea about. I've never heard anyone else say Sauvage smells like Aventus. Is he trippin?

It might be that she is from a warmer country where I suppose that sweet scents would become sickly.

I don't really get the appeal of ISO E on it's own like that, it smells like wet pencil shavings. There are frags out there that use its woody smell to amazing effect in combination with other notes, Dior Homme being a primary example. Especially for the price, $90.00CAD for a full bottle of what is just alcohol plus 1 cheap synthetic compound, seems like a ripoff.

Hrmmm I dont have a lot of experience wearing many of them in public to be honest with you. And I know most people only care about compliments, so if I were to do so I could not legitimately tell you that aspect of them. Only ones ive actually worn around girls etc is herod and pegasus. Others like goldolphin say if i want to smell like that, I just wear tuscan leather instead, the oajan again, I think thats a better AN but really if you care about compliments in videos I could not give you a honest take on it as I have not worn it around girls enough to give a real answer.
