Dracdoc mentions how he wears AHS in the winter.
I've tried it on skin today and it projects and lasts well, also like the fresh orange and sea smell, kinda like VPH.
I'm considering getting a bottle but, if I do land this job at a cafe, its policy to not wear frags. So I'm just wondering if its worth getting just for days out or trips to the beach and stuff...

Just got a bottle of pic related. Quirky little scent, reminds me of camping out in a tent, curled up in a sleeping bag. Plasticky tarp, synthetic fabrics, sweat, mosquito repellent, vague smell of the pines outside.

I love Eau for Men but I’ve not tried Eau Fraiche to compare. Some say DHE is similar to Prada L’Homme, but I feel like the cedar in Eau is dominant enough that it completely changes it.

I’ve heard good things about the Bvlgari Aqva line, but can’t comment.

[Anonymous No.13881641]

>>13881615
Can’t say I’ve had that happen specifically, no, but I’ve definitely had women tell me I smell snice while wearing them.

In my opinion, though, not all Roja frags smell that snice. He goes a little heavy with the Oud, cumin, and animalic notes sometimes, and those frags wind up smelling pretty skanky. Different strokes, I guess.

[Anonymous No.13881645]

I think it’s a fragrance that should be more talked about than it is. I know it’s different for everybody but I get amazing performance from it too. Probably better longevity than I do with DHI.

I'm trying some summery frags out on skin tomorrow when i'm in town.
I'd like one for dates, was leaning towards DHC or even Light Blue....

[Anonymous No.13881860]

went to a Chanel store and tried out most of the stuff a few weeks ago... ended getting a bottle of BDC parfum, and was given a decant of Platinum Egoiste, which i soon learned that i couldnt live without.

3 weeks later and i ordered a bottle of it off fragrancex, but the top notes are noticeable less sharp/metallic than the sample decant. (i'd describe it as being more diluted) The drydown and everything else is exactly the same, so what gives?

[Anonymous No.13881889]

What's your go-to scent gonna be this holiday season /fg/? Just picked this up recently. Smooth, spicy, warm, and sweet (but thankfully not too sweet). Gf goes nuts over it. I think it suits Christmas time very well.

Do you think it’s worth spending lots on citrusy summer fragrances?

I love things like Neroli Portofino, Mandarino Di Amalfi and other similar things, but when they have such poor longevity is there any need to spend that much when you’ll get similar performance from Versace Pour Homme?

[Anonymous No.13881916]

>>13881906
Depends. Generally, I’d say no since, as you said, longevity with those sorts of scents is usually not great. There are some niche citrusy summer scents that perform well, though. Roja Elysium Parfum gives me like 10-12 hours consistently, and smells kind of like a mix of BdC and Cedrat Boise, but better.

[Anonymous No.13881917]

It's not anything new, but it is nice. I can't deny that. I don't agree with the carbon-copy comments everybody makes of it. There's something in the drydown that gives it a bit of a dated edge that I really like. Could be the vetiver. Makes it smell formal I guess you could say. I wouldn't buy it but I did like it on my dad.

I’m not that big on Aventus, personally. I’d say PV is a better buy overall. Royal Oud is very snice, though. Probably Creed’s most underrated scent. I’d definitely grab that one.

I mean, you could buy a full bottle of Tom Ford or Amouage for that. Probably a better use of your money, since there are bound to be a few scents in each set you don’t like, and probably at least one you’ll really like and want to buy a full bottle of.

I've got both Prada l'Homme and DHE and i personally prefer Prada. Iris in DHE feels somewhat out of place and forced (comparing to DH and DHI) in a very Bleu de Chanel like opening. It also dissipates quite fast. On other hand Prada is something else. I did hear it was similar to DHE but having tried it myself i wouldn't necessarily say that. With all that said, DHE remains "an iris frag with a weak iris note". Meanwhile Prada is a "i am feeling SO FRESH"-frag where iris is one of the notes but it blended extremely well

Jeremy has never feigned depth tho. And the guy asking isn't asking why Jeremy isn't insightful. The fact is that he's promoting frags that he KNOWS people (especially) women like. He's not being dishonest in his approach. Yes I get that to a sophisticated nose a lot of what he panders is sweet tripe, but his videos aren't for nicheheads. They're for regular viewers who want to smell good to the largest number of people. He's handsome, he's fit, and he's fashionable. So what? Why would I take advice from some ugly fuck who raves on and on about some zoologist frag that smells like swampass? Jeremy isn't for the elite.

My go to for winter was Guerlain - Habit Rouge EDP, Guerlain - Spiritueuse Double Vanille and Salvatore Ferragamo - F Black but i discovered "a new king" : Givenchy - Gentleman EDP.

The smell and performane are amazing. Also 1 week of wearings : 4 unsollicited compliments and some "i REALLY like your new cologne, is it a niche one ?! " type. Givenchy Gentleman EDP, it's basically iris and black vanilla. Smells more like Valentino Uomo than Dior Homme, but better than those two imho. The iris is not as agressive and after 20 minutes, it's simply heaven : vanilla, balsamic, smooth and strong at the same time, very comforting...
Good projection and long lasting, people can smell you. It's just perfect for winter. Seriously, try it, it's not a "simple clone" of Dior Homme !

My two bottles are Wonderwood and Tam Dao. I especially love Tam Dao - I obviously like realistic woody notes; I've liked most of the sandlewood and cedar based fragrances I've tried.

I recently tried and enjoyed Dior Fahrenheit and Straight to Heaven by Kilian. Unfortunately StH is piercing on my skin for the first couple hours which I hate. I think these are on track with what I'm looking for though, something warm, good for winter or date night. I dont love gourmand sweet but I enjoy the subtle vanilla, booze sweetness in these.

I'm definitely drawn to niche, not a fan of most of the designer fragrances I've tried - BdC, Sauvage, YSL L'homme line, TdH, Eros, etc etc.
I have liked fahrenheit, grey vetiver, dior homme however.
Grey Vetiver is the only vetiver I have liked, most have that piercing quality I mentioned.

But one thing i can't find information about, is if smell or odor from outside the bottle can have an effect on fragrance inside over a longer period of time.

Do you think Antaeus is bad, or is DHI just better?

Tomorrow I'll be going to a big outlet and I'm planning on getting my first proper perfume (no price limit). Got any tips to spare with an anon who knows nothing about fragrances?
I'm in Japan and I like the light and fresh smell of clean laundry.

What's the scent that a guitarist for a downtuned industrial metal band would wear?
Basically this song in frag form...

Thanks homie. I loveee hinoki but its a little obscure to be at the top of my list. Kyoto on the other hand I had to wash off. I have looked into sycomore, memoir man, and sequoia previously, I'll give them and the others a try.

havent had any but I want to smell santal and chéne really bad. They sound great.

It’s a pretty underrated scent. Not one of Creed’s best sellers, the “Oud” probably scares people away. As such, it’s often less expensive than other Creed frags on the discount sites.

Good for those of us that love it. I just hope it doesn’t get discontinued.

CH Men isn’t very different than 1 million. Don’t let Jeremy fool you into believing is a leather jacket scent.

is there a fragrance that uplifts mood or inspires some kind of positive mental stimulation? Something you can wear for yourself to help mask the crippling loneliness and dread of everyday life?

also, if you have a bottle of hinoki and tam dao, try layering them, I found it quite snice.

>>13890627
grabbed a 5ml sample, I hope I love it! Interesting its not a top seller, lots of 'tubers list it as one of their favorites from creed.

>>13890643
any fragrance can have this effect if it resonates with you. Think of personally nostalgic smells and find something the emulates it.

Why do people on fragrantica say CH Men Prive has bad performance? Mine is almost too strong. Two sprays and I am choking out the people near me.

Hope you like it, bro. Royal Oud does open smelling a bit on the old fashioned side, but don’t judge it on the opening. Give it 10 minutes to dry and you’ll see why people who know frags like it so much. Pretty much the perfect drydown.

[Anonymous No.13890774]

Fragrantica is full of users who think that if someone doesn’t comment on their smell, they’re not wearing enough. Half the dudes wear 6 sprays. Don’t be that guy

[Anonymous No.13890788]

going to go test a few fragrances and buy 1 or 2 as a general not too expensive almost everyday scent

so far on my list to test

Guerlain Vetiver
Encre Noire
Eau des baux
versace pour homme
4711

r8 and recommend any you think i should look into, budget preferably maxing out around 50-60 dollars for

fragrantica reviews say its discontinued and not actually good, is there anything similar or was this a meme reply? Im actually serious.

[Anonymous No.13890801]

Everyday in winter or all year?
Because Encre Noire isn't exactly a summer fragrance.

[Anonymous No.13890809]

>>13890788
eau des baux is pretty damn good, lasts forever and has decent projection. I got mine for $36 so if you find a deal it's a safe blind buy.

[Anonymous No.13890833]

>>13890801
im in canada so its going to be winter until april and i wouldnt mind wearing it in summer even if its not a fresh or summer scent, looking for subtle and long lasting preferably and it was recommended here before.

>>13890809
ive seen great things about it, looking forward to trying it myself in person, i cant find it on sale anywhere around me but if it was i would definitely blind buy based on reviews

[Anonymous No.13890846]

>>13890833
I got mine on ebay admittedly, so I had to search a bit harder for a deal but I'd gladly pay ~$50 for another bottle if I had to. It was my first frag and I'm a bit of a noselet, but it opens up with some pretty strong spices and an incensey cypress note that lasts for the first hour or so and then it just becomes straight up vanilla for the remainder. It's very very nice for the winter and I use it for day and night.

thats what you think. there is a reason people categorize by season, heavy scents are not pleasant in heat.

[Anonymous No.13890911]

>>13890896
I dont go outside anywhere in summer, its 30 degrees celcius and 80% humidity and theres construction traffic literally every single corner of the city. Also i probably wont be wearing much in summer since ill be overloading on antiperspirant

[Anonymous No.13890917]

>>13890911
just sayin. if you plan on getting 2, get one that is warm and heavy for winter/evening, and one that is more fresh for summer/daytime.

[Anonymous No.13890937]

>>13890917
if it strikes me as too intense ill probably buy it on sale somewhere and use it for winter/overcast days, im eventually also going to get a really nice expensive one for events and occasions but right now im still a scentlet and just learning.

Woody seems to be a popular note around here.

If you are looking for an elegant woody fragrance look no further than Frederic Malles French Lover. God this smells so so sooo good. This just might be the end game fragrance to end all woody fragrances. 10/10

I just saw some fragrance I was interested in compared to French Lover, but I cant remember what it was. Maybe I'll try it.
Vetiver doesnt usually work on me unfortunately.

Your wording makes it sound like you are memeing

[Anonymous No.13891187]

I am not memeing. The vetiver in french lover is bitter and can be overbearing but it smoothes out quite nice.
