Update: I’ve been wearing Jerememe’s frag for a few hours now. Now I’m getting what smells like a lot of vetiver, which is odd, since there isn’t any vetiver in it. Maybe I’m smelling the “intense modern wood”. Not getting any patchouli or pink pepper. The citrus is still going strong,

Can someone please enlighten me on the difference between eau de parfum and eau de toilette?

[Anonymous No.14308946]

>>14308942
used to mean the concentration of oils, chems and other fragrance ingredients vs alcohol. EDT had a higher alcohol content than EDP, which caused it to evaporate faster. This would cause EDT have more projection and sillage but less longevity.

Nowadays it doesn't mean shit, companies use whatever names & classifications they think will make a product sell.

[Anonymous No.14308948]

>>14308942
eau de parfum has a slightly higher concentration of perfume oil that an eau de toilette (but that doesn't necessarily mean it's "better")

[Anonymous No.14309348]

kouros sat silently and then suddenly spoke: "douse". i followed orders and sprayed my neck twice. a sonoran desert toad croaked on the windowsill. "how'd you get here, bud?", i said. "eat it.", said kouros. i followed orders. i fell to my back, the ceiling tore asunder and slategray specks began to rain into my room. "they seek a new beginning.", said kouros. "they are seedstars, coming to unpack themselves. do not be afraid. come, and douse". i sprayed my wrists. "what do they want?", i ask. "they are post-larval. they've been here before, their mission is unknown." "they've been here you know?", kouros emphasized. "they've lived in rustic houses, around the rolling green hills and under the amber sun, sitting just above the horizon. these ancestors have vast tracks of land and have lived a life much like your own but sweeter and without pain. can you feel it?" i woke suddenly in my room drenched in sweat. "a bad dream is all.", i said to myself. i looked over and kouros was sitting silently on my dresser. i got up, opened the window and grabbed kouros about to lob it out. mid-heave i heard a hum and the bottle vibrated softly in my hand. that hum again, coming from the atomizer. i pressed it against my ear. "civilize the mind.", said kouros. "and make savage the body." before my eyes the bottle spun into a warm flare and vanished into a thin thread of white smoke.

Easily. It's not an old-man or young-kid scent. You could wear it every day and for pretty much any occasion.

[Anonymous No.14309775]

>>14309723
These are 3 completely different frags. Kouros has nuclear performance (I think the only ones that outperform it that I’ve encountered are Black Aoud and Les Liquides Imaginaires Fortis) and I wear it after trainings in winter and autumn or sometimes on a cold evening out. Wouldn’t recommend it for spring summer tbf - it can get cloying. Eau Sauvage performs well - I get around 3h of projection and 6h in total and it’s better suited for warmer days. That’s my informal suit/dinner scent. L’Homme performs worst out of the 3 but I like it that way - it’s my frag of choice when I need a safe crowd pleasing fragrance, I usually wear it for formal meetings or when I’m travelling on a plane. It’s a perfect summer/spring fragrance.

[Anonymous No.14309784]

>>14309735
TF is not particularly fond of having good freshies for the money. You can get something one class better elsewhere for the price tag. I’d say Grey Vetiver is best for the price. Neroli Petofino and Sole di Positano are ok out of the Private Blend line.

Btw speaking of Fortis, recommend me some reasonably priced smokey frag to test. When it comes to smoke+alcohol/tobacco I like Bois d’Ascese Naomi Goodsir and hate Jazz Club. I don’t like churchy takes on it like Heeley Cardinal and CdG Avignon and I prefer said Fortis over Black Afghano when it comes to wood+smoke.

Sure, just go easy on the sprayer. Hell, you can wear Kouros or Antaeus in the summer if you apply it lightly enough.

If you like the scent, though, they make an Ea Tres Fraiche flanker which has the same DNA but is lighter and sportier.

That's a good mix and a good breakdown. It doesn't have too many holes.

I think as >>14309939 said, something for more formal occasions would be nice. NdN is something you should try before you buy, though.

You could also use a barbershoppy fougere like YSL Rive Gauche PH or Penhaligon Sartorial.
Perhaps something sweeter for date nights, like VUI or Robert Graham Valour.
Also, a vintage scent like Guerlain Vetiver or Caron Pour Un Homme, maybe.

Try sampling Acqua di Parma's Blu Mediterraneo line. My personal favorite is Fico di Amalfi, but the ones with citruses and juniper are more suited if you want a more masculine scent.

Could go for Montblanc's Legend, easier on the pocket, same vibe, more suited for your age.

Fragrantica ratings is a good start, notes listed can give out which season it may be suited (aquatic, citruses white florals for warmer temperatures ambers, spices, sweets for colder days.)

Vert D'Encens: One of my favorites surprised it isnt talked about more. Woody, piney, incense. Based, im buying a bottle tonight. Such a unique scent. ...
Oud Wood: Very nice, pitiful projection. Would buy if it wasnt a whisper...
Tobacco Oud: Loved it, would cop come winter...
Tobacco Oud Intense: LOVED. A little younger and brighter than TO. Would take this over TO but both are great...
Neroli Portofino: Best warm weather TF hands down.
Tuscan Leather: Less sharp than ombre with a rasberry note. Honestly save a ton of money an get ombre because they are 90% similar...
Tobacco Vanille: Loved. All the Tobacco frags are great, would buy them all if I had that money.
Beau De Jour: Lots of hype but was very unimpressed. Lavender bomb with moss.
Oud Minerale: Interesting take on a salty marine scent. The seaweed note is innovate and to my nose pleasant and fresh...
Lavender Extreme: Lavender bomb, shit.

Yeah, spraying it on card is for plebs sampling top note heavy designer dreck in malls. Dior Homme is a much more complex frag than most you can find in a mall or department store, and you should really try it on your skin instead of on paper to be able to smell all of the accords.

With that being said, I'm not the biggest Dior Homme fan. Try pic related the next time you're sampling, IMO it's the best Dior frag ever.

Not true. If we were snobs, we wouldn't have said to keep any of those designer fragrances in the image. Eau Sauvage is a timeless, sophisticated and elegant masterpiece that can be had for an extremely affordable price. The other fragrances in that image smell low-quality by comparison. They may be "serviceable", but most people in this thread consider fragrance an art form, and so would favor quality over popular reception.

No, YOU consider fragrance an art form. You’re entitled to your opinion, but don’t presume to speak for everyone. Everyone here views fragrances differently. For some, it’s a hobby, they collect, and they primarily look for fragrances they find interesting (I’m in this category). Some people just want something girls will like. Some people just want something to compliment their wardrobe. Some people want something for da clubs. It’s all good. No one way is better than any other.

You’re speaking as if your opinion is objective truth, which is what far too many people on this site do, and it’s not conducive to encouraging conversation. Give your opinion, don’t say that he’s a pleb and everyone thinks his collection is shit. That’s not helpful.

Hey guise, i got Aventus and while i like it i don't get the hype.

You didn't. I had a sample first which I've tried and found the frag pretty underwhelming. After around 2 weeks, I tried it again and it wasn't that bad, but still nothing special. After leaving it on my wrist and forgetting about it, I smelled my wrist again and was knocked out cold. It was fucking incredible. I fell in love with it and have been in love with it ever since. Give it a try again and leave it on your skin a bit before smelling it again.

Sorry part two I should have expanded on. I think Ombre leather is the best leather out there all things considered. Its a little sharp at first but the dry down is wonderful . The rep I spoke to after us talking for a while admitted he personally feels Ombre is the better pick over Tuscan just because the price difference doesnt justify the close similarity. He even said they are kept apart on purpose because people would see how similar they are and just get the ombre

Alright, /frag/, I need your help.

I know fuck all about women's frags, and mother's day is approaching, so I thought I'd buy a frag for my mother.

My mother is 69 years old and very classy and energetic. Her favourite frags are Elizabeth Taylor ones, namely White Diamonds. I would like to get her something else, probably in the same vein, but something else - you get my drift.

That’s a tough one. Best bet would be to look up frags you know she likes on fragrantica, then look at similar frags, or use fragrantica’s search by notes function to find frags with similar notes. Even then, though, it’s a bit of a gamble. I’ve bought my mother 4 frags, 2 she loved, one she likes but very rarely wears, and one was a complete miss and is now in my collection.

It’s just generally very difficult to buy frags for another person, even if you know them very well.

To caveat off that the longer I’ve been in this hobby the more I’ve realized the most popular with women 99% are easy dumb reaches (BDC, Sauvage, Eros).

Not sure about the specific fragrance, never smelled it. But who cares if it smells "grandma"? All that matters is that you like it.

Quit smoking, three weeks in and I can smell my frags more clearly. Nothing too dramatic, but it's at least a 15-20% improvement in how long I can detect them.

For anyone looking for some good warm weather frags that don't get talked about as much:

Hermes Voyage EDP. Not the EDT, it sucks. Amazing blend of cardamom, floral, tea, citrus and light musk. Truly unisex, smells exotic like almost nothing else on the market with except some of the Jardin series, also from Hermes. Fantastic longevity too.

YSL Live Jazz. Discontinued but a great mint and Ambergris scent, handles heat and humidity like a champ. Feels a bit more classic/mature, I'm an oldfag so I like it but might not be the best choice for 18-22.

Carven L'eau Intense. A hidden gem, great MFK scent and dirt cheap to boot. Mint, citrus, cedar a surprisingly strong laundry musk. Smells like laundry drying in a citrus orchard.


Acqua Di Parma Colonia Ambra. This will be polarizing , it's an aquatic in the sense that it smells like a ship on the ocean, not the water itself. Smells like old wood polished with orange oil, a sharp turpentine like cypriol note, dried vanilla pods and Ambergris. Not ambroxan, this smells more natural even though it isn't. Some people say it smells like old paintings, that's the oil+wood combo but to me it smells like an old sailing ship. The vanilla note is very dry so it works even in the heat.


L'Artisan Parfumer Caligna. Most people think of Phlysokos or Jardin Mediterranee for fig scents but this is a great one too. It's not sweet, milky or heavy, it's a surprisingly green, tart and airy fig scent. It's a more mature fruity scent, works great in the summer.

Creed Royal Mayfair. The most overlooked Creed IMHO. Smells like a gin and tonic with limes, eucalyptus and the smell of a cold bouquet of roses in the fridge at a florists. Classy and refined.

Well, I wasn't a big fan of Sauvage for the reasons I already stated but I'd take that above Eros. Eros is a good sweet scent for the winter but it's really heavy, balsamic and dense, it's really heavy and potentially off putting in the heat.


Are you dead set on just wearing the Eros? I posted a few of my favorite warm weather scents a few posts up. If you like Eros check out Acqua Di Parma Colonia Ambra, it has vanilla in it as well but it's much better suited to the heat.

If you like some musk in your summer scents check out Dior Homme Cologne. Sort of like Lemonade mixed with musk, great longevity for a citrus scent. Not as natural of a lemon as Profumum Roma Acqva Viva or Xerjoff Nio but the longevity is just as good if not better for me.

He rents prostitutes, and has enough money to throw away renting decent ones. Cash, that's all. It is what it is. You're the only one that seems to think he ever says otherwise. His anecdotes, as annoying as I find them, end up relating back to frags somehow. He's shown his collection, reviewed his purchases, talked about what he picked up from and where.

On the other hand you are so butthurt about him you've become a recognisable character in your own right, except in all your sperging about him you fail to talk about frags more often than not. You are actually more obnoxious and more off topic than somebody talking about whores on a frag thread. It surprises me more than anyone I'd take his side, but you are that much of a loud, obnoxious off-topic cunt.

This is pretty much it. I never claimed there was anything special about what I was doing. There’s not. It’s money, like you said. Anyone could do what I do. This whole thing started because on one of my trips a few years back, I posted one comment about a frag one girl I saw was wearing, and people were interested and asked me to do reports. That’s all it is. I know it’s not for everyone, but some people do seemingly want to read my anecdotes. If you don’t, feel free to skip them.

Also pretty funny how the haters all assume I’m ugly, autistic, a manlet, etc. I don’t like to use the “muh projection” meme, because it’s basically saying “no u!”, but in this case, it’s pretty damned obvious.

Any rate, we’ve wasted enough posts arguing about this shit. I’mma get back to posting frags now.

Yeah, a lot of the time it isn’t an option, but when it is, I usually go for it. Only time I won’t is if it specifically says no cap, and it’s only like a 10.00 or something. I’ve gotten things like bottles of Creed frags for like 80-100.00 off, though, and cap was included. In those cases, you’d be dumb not to go for it. I have money, I could buy a normal bottle, but that’d just be wasteful. Rich people who waste their money on unnecessary shit usually aren’t rich for long.

Recommend something similar to Drakkar Noir but without the citrus notes. I am ver sinsitive to citrusy smells, even a hint of lime can ruin a fragrance for me.
