I got both a vintage bottle with no sprayer and the new one from 2019. There is definitely a huge difference between them. Vintage is full of castoreum and oakmoss and, even though they do smell similar, the new one is much softer and classier. I adore both of them but for different settings

Why to bother with hunting down the vintages? I bet that for the price of this vintage you could buy a full bottle of Anna Zworykina's Cuir de Russie that's also a big leather chypre that is heavy on (natural) castoreum and oakmoss. Even the notes breakdown is 75% similar.

I disagree. I've been to their boutique next to Champs-Elysees and smelled 20+ of frags and some were synthetic some were not. I think the fact that some of their best sellers are quite synthetic makes people believe that all of them are like that.

Asolutely based. You should've posted here about it, there's at least two of us interested in indie attar makers here. Did you try any other houses? Ensar Oud, Mellifluence, Rising Phoenix and Elixir Attar are also on my radar for some time together with Sultan Pasha. Apparently they're supposed to be many levels above Abdul Karim Al Faransi whose Oud Cuiré (and Musk Aswad, Sheikh Al Faransi, Mukhallat di Corleone to lesser extent) left me absolutely speechless already. I'm a nichefag but never smelled anything quite like Oud Cuire, so I'm really looking forward to testing the other better houses. However, I'm new to it all so perhaps I should take it easy and develop my nose first slowly hence I ordered these single ingredients absolutes from Mellifluence.

I also ordered from Mellifluence, I heard about them (and sultan pasha) from Wafts. I ordered the oud sample set which turned up today (pic). Just been sniffing from the bottle so far, I'm a total beginner when it comes to attars but each of these ouds has got a really unique smell. I'm using his notes from the Etsy store to try and identify them better.

>>15230025
Damn, I haven't seen that otherwise I'd order these with my absolutes too. Try samples from AKAF. Most of his stuff has pages on fragrantica, so it helps. And he's way cheaper than Pasha/Mellifluence (from what I read on some forums for attar niche fags he uses lower grade ingredients and synthetics) but still mindblowing for my newb nose. It were Wafts who made me look into attars too (and especially Oud Cuire that they praise in one of their videos). Kinda cool that they also just started to get into this space but are one step in front of us, so we can get some newbie guidance from them.

It’s nothing like Kouros. It’s not that smoky, it’s mostly a sweet leather scent. It’s pretty potent, especially in the opening.

So yesterday on the walk I've seen irises blooming outside someone house and I took a sniff. I expected powdery profile known from Dior Homme etc but instead I couldn't smell anything. I did some research and apparently that's correct. Iris flowers have almost no smell and iris as known as a note comes rather from the iris' roots called orris. It confused me even more because on fragrantica you clearly see a distinction between iris and orris root. What do perfumers mean then by 'iris (flower) note'? Just the general 'flowery-powedery' vibe?

Nah, you’ll never see him coming, m8. He’s had so much surgery, he can rearrange his face at will like a Mr. Potatohead doll. He’s like that dude in Game of Thrones who can change his face. ATH is a ghost. He could be anyone, anywhere. He could even be you! Take a look in the mirror, how confident are you that the face looking back at you is your own? If your answer is anything less than 100%, you’re already dead.

Nope. All the surgery he’s had and product he’s used has left his skin as hard as adamantium. No known weapon can harm him. It’s estimated that his face could survive a blast ten times greater than the bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Can you expand on your point? I recently had this reflection that the only valuable things about fragrantica for me is the fact that I'm used to their clean interface and that people can vote on the most prominent notes that helps a lot to understand what you smell. Other than that it's pretty crap. Most of the reviews are not worth reading and the comment section is very prone to becoming an echo chamber. Especially with their system where downvoted enough comments are being deleted. Forums on fragrantica always seemed to me like a mix of men asking for compliment getters and boomer women who are a bit more knowledgeable but eventually talk about womens perfumes mostly. How is it on basenotes? Are the forums way better? Do you find the interface superior and more handy once one gets used to it? Is the database of fragrances bigger than on fragrantica (I very often couldn't find any entries for more niche stuff)? Would actually genuinely appreciate your thoughts as I was thinking of moving to basenotes from fragrantica.

Jotaro is wears eau sauvage confirmed

[Anonymous No.15230765]

>>15230714
>[...] This is a man padding about at home, for there is an air of post-shower relaxation and the tinkling of vermouth and ice in a glass, rather than a rushed morning routine. Gruau’s illustrations of a metropolitan man, perhaps attached, perhaps a bachelor, perfectly encapsulated the scent of Eau Sauvage. Formulated by the minimalist perfumer Edmond Roudnitska, it was a clever twist on the eau de cologne: a mossy citrus splash lifted through the use of a molecule present in jasmine flowers called Hedione (or methyl dihydrojasmonate), which illuminated the composition to brilliance. Eau Sauvage is secure in its own skin; it knows it’s got the A game but doesn’t need to go on about it. Strangely, unlike many female scents from earlier in the twentieth century, which quickly become ‘old’, Eau Sauvage has been worn now by three generations without ever seeming past it or too ‘dad-like’; many men whose fathers wore this scent have no qualms about inheriting it for themselves.

[Anonymous No.15230766]

>>15230765
>The seeming effortlessness of Roudnitska and Gruau’s work here belies the social changes that made it possible. Selling scent to men had, as we have seen, hitherto relied on a few laboured persuasion techniques. Gruau got rid of all of this – the endless marketing copy, the adoring wife pecking her husband on the cheek, the cheesy slogans – and showed a man, usually alone, in his element. Eau Sauvage tells little but implies much. As a snapshot of social history he is a pertinent figure. In her account of post-war masculinity, ‘Playboy’ and the Making of the Good Life in Modern America, historian Elizabeth Fraterrigo charts the role played by Hugh Hefner’s empire, from his magazine to his clubs and penthouses, in presenting young, affluent men with an alternative way to live, one ultimately built on extending the years of ‘freedom’ prior to marriage. Rather than paying off that new-build suburban home and having the old ball-and-chain nagging at you all hours of the day, this was about pleasure-seeking, in and out of the bedroom. And no self-respecting playboy could truly express his tastes and impress his latest squeeze if he didn’t have his own luxurious bachelor pad filled with abstract art, jazz records and up-to-date hi-fi equipment. Away from the entertaining space, the bathroom was of supreme importance, reclaimed as a manly grooming lair. One of Playboy’s lifestyle features, ‘The Man in his Bath’ from 1957, emphasised the need for titanic, plush bath towels (reminiscent of those large red and black boxes of Kleenex for Men tissues) and the all-important voluminous terry robe, to don when emerging from a long soak in an oversized tub.
>The Eau Sauvage man is more than a Hefneresque cliché, however. He probably gets all the girls anyway, but that’s not why he loves the scent. He wears it for himself, out of the social limelight, and enjoys nothing more than an evening pottering about in his sheepskin slippers

>Azemour Les Orangers is a fresh chypre, a real, honest-to-goodness fresh chypre, with plenty of citrus and that mossy, nearly-musty undertone that you either adore or detest. If, like me, you adore it, then Azemour will be like greeting an old friend that you haven't seen in some time and feared you might never meet again. The opening is juicy but dry: lots of bright, orange-y citrus with green undertones and plenty of peppery spice (notes include orange, grapefruit, mandarin, citron, coriander, cumin, black pepper, pink pepper, cassis, galbanum, neroli, geranium, orange blossom, rose, hay, moss, henna and iodine). It's almost fizzy in the first few minutes — it seems to dance and sparkle on the skin as it warms. It has, briefly, an almost-sweaty aspect that I also find in fragrances like Annick Goutal Eau du Sud and Frédéric Malle Cologne Bigarade; in this case, it is probably the combination of cumin and grapefruit, although I don't think cumin-o-phobes will find that note overdone. The base is a hot summer's day in a dry climate near the sea (Morocco will do, but I thought right away of my much-missed Southern California): dried grasses, the faint scent of orange blossom carried on salty air.
>It's summer-y, but has enough depth and bite that I enjoy it (immensely) even in the cold, and the lasting power is surprisingly good. Glorious, possibly my favorite niche fragrance of 2011 and going straight onto my "buy" list.

Basically, there's nothing to compare here. I smelled fresh geranium for an hour and a half. I don't know if it's actually geranium but it strongly reminded me of the flowers on my grandma's balcony. Now it's faint, and I get some musk, maybe? As far as citruses go there's not really anything.

I have no doubt that the vintage Eau Sauvage is a tremendous frag. But this version is neutered. Like a handsome man who's been vicked and turned into a squeaking little gerbil by his marriage.

SOTD is Eau Sauvage Parfum 2017 btw. Get this one, it's fucking great.

I haven't smelled Fiero actually, was just memeing with this comment about delon jagger poster. I'm sure it's an excellent frag but notes seem quite different than Eau Sauvage. Seconding the love for 2017 Parfum Version though.

I went through the trouble of visiting a shopping mall in these times to try out fragrances and as expected the mens selection was tiny and half empty.
Tried out Dior Sauvage just to know what it's like and it was easily my favorite of the ones I tried.

SOTD: MFK Aqua Celestia Forte. Very competent petitgrain-citrus fragrance with a clever 'white' hedione twist making it a very transparent, crystal compositon. The opening is full of uplifting youthful mint that slowly vanishes as the scent ages into quiet and more distinguished floral-hedione-musky territories. Thankfully citruses linger somewhere throughout all phases, so it doesn't become just another soapy laundry musk. Good stuff overall but it lasts only for 3 hours on my skin. As always with those few MFKs that I like, I would consider buying it but not for this price. What are you wearing today lads?

It's definitely dated, but wearable. Very green, quite fresh and cheap smelling. But for the price you can't go wrong if you want something that's daddy smelling. I smelled Lauder for men and it's similar but fresher. I like it overall.

Badly posed question. If you already had 3+ full wears of a fragrance and you love it, then sure go for a bottle. Otherwise always go for samples/decants.

2012 (left) is much darker thanks to the myrrh. I get less projection but more longevity (although that might just be my nose)
The updated 2017 is brighter and sharper to me.
They're pretty similar although I prefer the 2017, it's my only 10/10 encounter so far.

[Anonymous No.15233160]

>>15233130
Dark one is 2012 version. Light one is 2017 reformulation. They share Eau Sauvage woody-citrus 'DNA' but apart from that they're completely different. 2012 is much darker, almost gothic like that is appropriate for colder months. 2017 is brigher but not missing deepness and can be worn pretty much all year round. Thank to god both last way longer than EdT and project quite well. Overall I prefer 2017 version by a margin but see place for 2012.

For me it's fresher but not that fresh. I got the myrrh and a vanillary thickness, still a heavy fragance. I wore in a morning hot summer day at the bus and the girl sitted next to me looked at me scared, with a "why are you raping me?" eye expression.

Some Sultan Pasha attar. It shows that the author doesn't know a shit because these attars typically stay close to skin and project only a bit (but last ages). Also I have no idea what does he mean by spraying it.

Frag for this feel is getting a gym subscription and joining your local boxing gym once the lockdown is over. You can douse yourself after every training with Kouros to feel like a Greek semi-god but only after trainings to subconsciously start craving for achieving your full platonic potential.

Join boxing classes. Hanging around guys there and getting punched in your face will adjust you in no time. Also at your age there's no point of gathering many long relationships under your belt young king. Focus on yourself and fucking chicks only as addition. Now you're at the stage of life where you gather cards that you'll be playing with for the rest of your life. It's not that easy to change cards on your hand after 30.
