What do we think Jeremys "Club for men" will smell like or be a hybrid of? Office for men was more predictable sauvage/bdc hybrid clone. My best guess would be some kind of (stronger) la nuit clone since he worships it every other video and had an existential crisis on the last video with it.

we trotted hillside along the plains by horseback. things were looking cheery and i was happy. in the muddy scores on the trail the horses would dap their hooves lightly in the water. far across the way the day's remuda plodded against the earth kicking up a dust-storm that seemed to scapple the landscape something hazy and sinister. even in these moment's of craven thoughts i made even with my life and moved on. i could eat, speak and listen again with a smile. it was a nice change and i was basking in it. i'd even met a girl. it was a funny ideology of existence. i keep thinking it would come but i finally convinced myself otherwise. i live a quiet life now, and that's okay. night is different however. i can't sleep and in the hum of the darkness it lays with me. i can still feel it in the thick of the black, and the evening residue stains my face and mind and the historicity in me seeks the end, the final stop but i know it's ceaseless, i know there is never that state of perfection and so bathing in the light of the solarium daily has helped rejuvenate me. it's been a nice charge up for the day. i'll do that tomorrow. always looking forward to tomorrow. but at night i need to thin out my serried thoughts and sleep. kouros sleeps with me. i know it. in passing headlights or settling foundation or in the occasional wallknock he's there, but isn't. he's become the suzerain of my mind, and in that peace i close my eyes. "douse," i say lightly under my breath and hope that life quickly passes by.

If you're not wearing Guerlain Vetiver, you're wrong.

Still the best vetiver, an absolute brilliant and evocatice drydown that projects calm masculinity. Works with heat and sweat instead of trying to fight them like shower fresh scents. One of the oldest continually produced vetivers for a good reason and an insane value for the price.

Instead of trying to smell like a fake ocean, laundry detergent and ambroxan this summer, try smelling like a verdant tropical plantation.

Looking at copping a bright, light citrus freshie or eau de cologne style fragrance for this summer. Would appreciate comments on how the smell, performance, wearability, etc. compare between these frags

> Chanel Allure Homme Sport Cologne
> Dior Homme Sport Cologne
> Terre d'Hermes Eau Tres Fraiche

One of my favourite summer scent for men is Acqua di Bergamotto by Zegna.
It is not super common, which is something I like because I always felt like there's something special about a fragrance that is your personal scent in a way, but it is very elegant, light and summery.

My problem with Chanel, Dior, Hermes, Guerlain is that every other dude with a real job wears them.

Any particular one from the Colonia line that you'd recommend over the others or just the original? I've smelled the OG and while I think it's nice I find the smell a little too mature for me. I know that Essenza gets a lot of praise. Assoluta and Intensa I don't know much about.

So went to a fragrance shop today and tested some frags. Literally can't understand the hype about most frags that are praised here or on Jeremys channel. Sauvage or Eros smell boring, the black pepper is too dominant in Sauvage, don't smell good.

My favs are Versace eau fraiche and Prada L Homme, Fahrenheit is still good, smell a little bit like petrol(which is good).

Just keep doing what you're doing, trying things out, buying what you like and building up a knowledge. Look up the things you know you like and see if there's anything similar or anything else recommended if you like that one on Basenotes or Fragrantica and try and sample them too.

Most of the people try them before droping 100$ + for a fragrance anon, you buy a sample online or in a store and try it on your skin, for example a Summer fragrance, to see if you like it or how long it last on you.
>>14428586
because most of the youtube faggots are just paid shills, they don't make reviews, they just take money from Dior/Chanel/Versace/Armani etc and shill for these fragrances. Look at the majority of reviews on youtube, top 10 is almost the same fucking fragrances. Anyway, for example I tried Acqua di Gio shilled by Jeremy, was meh and last only 3 hours or so, but Jeremy said it will last and is a pussy slayer.

It’s actually pretty interesting. The Cade oil note is quite complex. It may not have a ton of notes, but it doesn’t really need it. It’s smoky, a little bitter and medicinal, green, and somehow pretty fresh as well.

Currently what I have. The Killians were given to my parents as a gift, but my mom didn’t like them (she’s super particular about cologne/perfume) so they let me have them. One of them is for a woman I’m pretty sure. But yeah, they actually all smell great but I can’t remember what the one missing the square is. I think it was like back to black or something.

I actually really do enjoy the smell of Versace Eros on me and I see it as more than just a clubbing fragrance. I wouldn’t wear it to a funeral but I don’t think one spray is inappropriate for most situations. Does anybody else agree or is Eros a meme?

Relax, m8. It’s just banter.

Anyway, Kilian’s got some good scents. You have two of their best in my opinion in Back to Black and Straight to Heaven. Haven’t tried Pure Oud. All of those are unisex or masculine-leaning (not that that actually matters a whole lot when it comes to fragrance). Pretty good haul. I wouldn’t mind a few free Kilian bottles.

Personally, I don’t have a bottle, not sure if I’ll ever get one, but I did get a very generous sample from a very nice salesgirl, so I have worn it quite a few times.

Looking at the note list, you’d probably be inclined to think it’s a sweet, relatively heavy gourmand. It is not. It’s very woody, dry, and fresh, almost astringent. The rum is there, but it has more of a boozy, bitter vibe than sweet. I got little to no vanilla even in the extreme version, which supposedly dials the rum and vanilla way up. The cedar is the dominant note here, not the vanilla or fruit. Very easily could be worn during the summer.

Might cop if I can find it cheap, it’s quite snice, but probably not worth Kilian’s MSRP if I’m being honest, but then, I do feel most Kilian’s are rather overpriced. Back to Black and Black Phantom are the only ones I feel are worth MSRP. Straight to Heaven comes close, but not quite. Just my opinion, of course.

Its versatility and character is determined by the amount of sprays you use. The current formulations arent the nuclear projectors of years ago. 1-2 is fine for almost any social situation. Going out 4-5. Reformulations are not a meme and actually happen. People like Jeremy are paid to say "its the same dont worry keep buying it :^)".

Ultra male rant unrelated to eros: I have the OG (2015) ultra male and a 2018 bottle and the difference is tremendous. The pear note is so much more succulent and juicy and noticeable in the 2015. Whereas 2018 you cant tell anything apart. It's my favorite clubbing/going out frag. Not sure whether to use it and enjoy it for myself or price gouge and decant it when it reaches eros or la nuit levels of price inflation in a year or two.

Further, speaking of price gouging I have a feeling (conspiracy theory time) he has a large quantity of "vintage" la nuit bottles he has accumulated and hes pumping the worth of them tremendously so he can cash out. OG bottles are going for 300+ on ebay. I wouldnt put it past Jeremy for that kind of shenanigans and its largely because of him that it has risen to the status it is now.

It's really good.

Serge Lutens is one of those brands where most of their bottles are available at well below retail and then a couple of scents get vaulted and you will never see them at discount.

Daim Blond hasn't been vaulted so it's still cheap. Very soft scent. Dried apricots, cigarettes, suede gloves, a sort of gold hot skin musk. It's unisex but you need to sample to see if you can pull it off. Basically if you wear and like Dior Homme, it would be no problem.

No because to be honest I don't "get" what SL is aiming for style wise. I did Chergui, Daim Blond and Ambre Sultan. I've tried at least a dozen of their others and honestly can't remember them. For me, thats real fucking bad.

Same with L'artisan Parfumer. The jew in me perks up every time I see a bottle go for 50bucks online because that's a great price, but then I realize it's still a waste for me at 50 bucks becauase I just don't get the point of their frags. Tea for Two was the original fucking meme, before La Nuit and Aventus even. I like Caligna, used to like Timbuktu but it got reformulated.

Pro tip: If you get any LaP and its in the new bottles just fucking send it back.

Buying a backup bottle is like going back to the same ex gf as a fuck buddy over and over and over again.

Either move on or commit just to it if you like it so damn much.

I don't buy back up bottles. That way i never have to worry about reformulations. When a bottle is done, keep it moving.

Do you have any idea how many bottles I've had over 30 years? At its peak my collection was around 340, 350 in the early 2000s. Then I started weekly swaps and purges.

Having backup bottles to that much shit would have been insane. Sure i would have struck gold with shit like Rochas Lui. I got a bottle for 16.99 online, I think at Perfumebay. Now it's what? 200 online?

That I regret.

The clubbing mega performers always get reformulated once enough hype is established to keep the gravy train going. Whatever is out and kicking ass and unique now as a club star will eventually get that inflation because reformualtion. I can’t think of any clubbing super stars released in the past year or two. I think there has to be a new direction taken as the blue/amborxan frags are getting played out. Whatever the next one million or Eros is will be what to stock up on.

Based on how often I used to wear it, and still do really, Kouros.

I dont have a signature scent so much as a signature smell. Musk, vetiver,woods, moss, herbs, leather, citrus and florals. My favorite scents are often variations on the theme even in the summer.

I think having a singular signature scent is over rated to the point of retardation, but having olfactory style should be pursued.

To be fair, DFW literally put The Pale King in order, in a neat pile before hanging himself. He knew he at least wanted what he was working on to be published.

That’s not strictly true about DFW and Pale King. They were in a kind of order, but the editor writes an introduction to the book and explains that the apparent order wasn’t strictly the correct one. For example, a chapter quite clearly a starting point, is actually revealed in a footnote to be much further in to the book. You’re half right at least.

The opening to Suttree is sublime. It’s just an introduction and it’s one of the best descriptions I’ve ever read. My favourite moment of his is by far the Comanche attack. Breathtaking.

1 spray of kouros to the chest in a relatively dry environment makes you smell like a god, m8. That shit gets crazy compliments as long as you’re decently built and good looking. Yeah I guess if you’re too skinny or too fat it could come off as out of place. When it came out it was essentially the A&F fierce of its time, marketed as super preppy and athletic, it’s not going to mesh well with like 90% of /fa/ posters

Old fuck here.

Current Kouros is far weaker than the original, thats whats hilarious about it.

Here's how to wear it:

Bear in mind I'm a 4 to 6 spray type of guy for most scents, but i only spray my chest and wear an undershirt so it mutes the projection.

With Kouros, its 1 spray. 1 fucking spray, maybe 2 small sprays, not two full pumps.
Apply low on chest, between your navel and pecs. At first, closer to the navel.

As you make your peace with the fact Kouros is one of the best scents ever made, and you develop a symbiotic relationship with it, move the sprays high till you're spraying online with your nips.

You don't need alot, Kouros will do the heavy lifting.

I’m the guy who just posted saying kouros btfo me out. As far as Antaeus goes its a lot easier to wear. Two different levels here. You don’t need to treat it with hazmat precaution of kouros. It’s quite pleasant to my nose but is probably polarizing to younger people.

Old fuck here.

Remember Kouros was marketted to 18-30 year olds when it came out.

Think of it this way: All the "old man" scents were marketted to young men when they came out. There's not a single scent in existence that was created for old dudes.

Dior Eau Sauvahe smells out? Your grandpa came back from two tours in Nam banging asian whores, sprayed that shit on, and transitioned to banging American whores.

Old man scents just remind you of old men because the old fucks got laid wearing it and just kept wearing it. Why mess with a winning formula?

So honor your relatives, spray on some Kouros and fuck some chicks. Or some dudes, I don't care. Just get your dick in the game.

I'm going to blow your mind: I had more trouble wearing Anteaus years ago than I did Kouros. Antaeus was a challenge.

See, Kouros has been reformulated to hell and back but it's still a beast. You can't tame it.

Antaeus....is a "look at how they massacred my boy" affair. Its not even a shadow of it's former self, it's a whole new fragrance.

The good news is Chanel, much like Guerlain has put in serious effort into fixing its reformulations. Platinum Egoiste is better now than it has been in ten years. Pour Monsieur Parfum is good and I've heard that the new bottles of Antaeus are in good shape too. I haven't worn it in about six or seven years but I'm going to order a bottle from Chanel and see what happens.

I believe it. My sample was from a 2017 bottle. I’ve heard the stories of old with the authentic beaver ass in it. You can still get them for insane eBay markup if you really want. But I think some modern tweaks are good for it. I wore it out with a girl I was fwb with and it came out beastly in the post sex heat and sweat. She was 19 and she said “I’m not a fan of it but I can’t stop smelling it, it’s just manly

Women have been like that since I started wearing it. Alot of women think they only like sweet, clean scents on guys because thats what men their age wear and only OLD MEN wear scents like that.

A couple drinks and some body heat normally changes that for the better.

I firmly believe there is no such thing as a panty dropper. A woman will either bang you or she won't a scent won't change her mind and thinking otherwise is lunacy. However it may change her enthusiasm from wanting to sleep with you to "fuck me right here and now" if the chemistry is right and your scent changes her percption of you for the better.

That's why I tend not to wear the hype scents and if I do it's years later. You don't
want to put on Sauvage and then the girl takes a whiff and winces because some fuccboi that cheated on her and gave her the clap wore Sauvage.

100% agree. Also, act your age. If you’re in your 30s, don’t wear fuccboi clubbing scents. If a girl wants to date a teenager, she’ll date a teenager, if she wants to date a “daddy”, she’ll date a “daddy”. Being an old guy who tries to look/act/smell like a young guy, you’re completely killing your own appeal.

This. I get more compliments and appreciation now that I found the style that suits me AND I dress in a manner fitting a man my age and personality.

Personality plays a huge part. A painter or rockstar my age could still be wearing skinny nut hugging jeans and it would be fine. I'm a businessman, if I tried dressing like that it would be cringe inducing.

Keeping this scent related. Sleeper scent: Acqua di Parma Querica. Incredibly long lasting lime note that goes the entirety of the oakmoss barbershop drydown. Mature, chic and elegant but casual. Perfect scent for work, brunch, or pretending you have culture and going to a museum.

If you shave the old way, pairs well with lime soaps and aftershaves as well as traditional barbershop soaps and splashes from Italy and Spain.

Some of them can be half decent, the problem is usually that whilst the openings can be a dead ringer for what it's copying, the drydown doesn't match up and the longevity is poorer.

With regards to Aventus clones specifically, if you like the smokey woody aspects, go for Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man, or if you like the fresher, fruity and citrusy aspects, go for Al Haramain L'aventure.

Because a fragrance will not be the difference between you getting a girl and not. If she likes you she'll like what you're wearing, maybe if you're wearing something good it will add to it a little, but it's not a decision maker. It's a cherry on top, not the cake itself.

Sampled all three next to each other once. All are better than decent. Night vision isnt as bad as people make it out to be, dont quite understand the hate but maybe it just gets worse in dry down. Its unironcially fine by me but I would still never wear it over anything I already have. Have a decant of extreme but for a sweet spicy tobacco I always reach for chergui or tobacco vanille first. I suppose I could just classify extreme as a clubbing tobacco if there ever was such a thing. The whole line is fine, but I wouldnt put it in front of what I've got already

Also, like the anon said, the longevity and projection is fucked, I legit still smell the thing on my skin 48 hours after applying it. So if you go ahead and get it, definitely go easy on it, especially now in summer.

It’s an aromatic fougere, not an “aquatic” like the zoomers and sephora shoppers will say “because it smells like an aquatic to me therefore its aquatic.” It contains lavender, geranium, dihydromyrcenol, coumarin, peppermint, etc much like it’s predecessors Drakkar Noir, Azzaro PH, and Paco rabanne PH. They all have a similar structure, CW just has the highest amount of dihydromyrcenol (about 20% of the formula) so it smells the “freshest” out of them. For reference, PR had about 3% dihydromyrcenol, Azzaro had 5%, Drakkar had about 10%, and Pierre Bourdon put 15% into GIT as an experiment before making CW.

It is. Sorry but if you can’t smell the similarities between CW and it’s predecessors, and you’ve been taking fragrance seriously for a while and not just spraying Eros and that crap your nose is broken. It’s obviously a mutation of the style (as it was slowly evolving to cK eternity and Curve and eventually AF Fierce) but all the fougere components are there and easily identifiable. Try it again and compare it to the others

Its honestly a scent held together by extremes. On the one side you have a fine milled bar of herbal soap and on the other you have the raw smell of a locker room.

The two sides are equally matched and it's the tension between them that makes it great.

I'm an old fuck, been wearing it for decades. The truth is some of the stories of its potency and sex smell are exaggerated and it's a perfectly wearable manly fragrance. Think about it, it's been in production since 1981. M7 was discontinued, Rive Gauche was discontinued, Live Jazz was discontinued, etc. But Kouros lives on in continous production. If it was that out there not enough people would buy it and it would die off.

But it soldiers on. Do all men like it? No. Do all women like it? No. But enough do to justify it still being made, and that speaks to its appeal.

Wear a single spray, and just relax and enjoy it. Its like a single malt scotch. You don't chug a bottle of scotch, your pour a small glass and enjoy it over time. Not everyone likes scotch either.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 25 00:31:53 2019 No.14435099 >>14434172 Yes it's legit a good fragrance. It's clean without being boring, good longevity, nice fruit notes, but I feel it suits a younger man than myself.

Technically, they shit it out, not puke it out. The ambergris forms around indigestible matter (like squid beaks) that get caught in their bowels. Sometimes it actually gets so big that when the whale tries to pass it, it ruptures their gut and kills them.

My three sampler bottles arrived!
Ralph Lauren may be my current favorite brand. Red and Blue both are fantastic. I can wear Blue tomorrow and give it a try.
Bulgari Man is pretty much what you'd expect a male scholar to smell like. Very distinguished, slightly earthy (to my novice nose, at least), not something I think I can pull off. Not sure about the Bulgari Blue quite yet. Will try that after the Polo Blue.
What should I try next?

I bought it actually because of the oldfag who was recommending it. It’s really snice but intimate. Stays really close to the skin. The comparison to Dior Homme is on point but it’s rather because of a bit metrosexual vibe it emits not the notes, however there’s also this lipstick quality to it because of iris and apricot combo. I must wear it couple more times.
>>14434385
This is the best review of Kouros. The scent of gods.
>>14435124
No, why?

Btw Im on the airport and just tested Dior Eau Sauvage EDT and I don’t get where all the hate from its fans towards the Parfum version comes from. It’s quite similar but lighter and missing this resiny deep quality (that some people describe as wax) from elemi. They both definitely share the same dna though. I might get a bottle.

After seeing Imaginary Authors in previous threads I decided to try them out. I was blown away by how good they are. I would rather wear one of these than any Creed I own, Sauvage, TdH, Any Versace, or CdG fragrances.

Cape Heartache is very sweet strawberry campsite. Its very nice but didnt perform too long, maybe 4 hours.

Memoirs Of A Trespasser is simply amazing. It smells like Tobacco Vanille but much better, like marshmallows and rum. Lasts forever. My favorite so far.

Every Storm A Serenade smells like Petrichor, the scent after it rains and is constantly shifting from Sea Dock to Fresh Rain to Middle of the Ocean to Heavy Storms, Beautiful and my second favorite.

Yesterday Haze I wasn’t a fan of, it smells like Women’s lotion inside of a leather glove.

Slow Explosions is decent, it smells like women’s perfume with firework residue. Interesting.

Whispered Myths is very cool. It makes you smell like a Marble Statue in a museum and sometimes a plank of driftwood of some ancient greek war ship. Very cool if anything else.

The Cobra and The Canary definitely smells like a duality between the venom of a cobra with sharp bites and the sweetness of a Canary with clean smooth feathers in a woman’s home. I wouldn’t wear it but it definitely is not bad.

A City On Fire smells like liquid bbq smoke and makes you smell like ash and mystery. It is very interesting but requires confidence and coolness. This isn’t a casual smell, wear boldly.

Good reviews. I also want to try them out. However, What cdg are you talking about? Wonderwood is obviously outplayed now in the world where diptique has its booth with tam dao in any shopping mall but CdG 2 is imo one of the most interesting fragrances that came ever to existence and absolutely wearable at the same time. Blue Encens, Amazigreen and their incense line is also very interesting and wearable. They’ve got also all that crazy antiperfume stuff that is intellectually interesting
