What’s your favourite fragrance that is typically thought of as “bad” or looked down upon by snobs?

For me it’s Ultra Male. I generally go for barbershop fragrances, Rose, Oud and bright citrus. But something about Ultra Male just does it for me, although the opening is a bit much when it settles down I love it. I feel like somebody is about to take me on a journey...

You are correct.

Let me take you on a journey, friend. You’re on vacation in San Francisco, you return to your hotel but have forgotten your room number. You walk into the room of another guest by mistake. Immediately upon entering, you notice that a bunch of sweaty men are fucking on a bed shaped like a giant martini glass covered with sequins. YMCA is playing on a loop on the room’s sound system, a disco ball hangs from the ceiling, a large TV displays episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race. John Waters is sitting on a chair in the corner sipping a cosmopolitan.

Ultra Male is gayer than that room.

My decant of Un Jardin Sur Le Nil leaked everywhere. It smells amazing but it attracted and killed like 30 bugs (installed the air conditioner yesterday and a bunch of flies etc got in while the screen was out of the window.

So apparently if you have a fruit fly problem, use this as bait. And do not wear this shit in the woods unless you want to get rekt by skeeters

[Anonymous No.15313156]

>>15313098
If anyone wants cheaper bait, I just got rid of my fruit fly problem with my classic self-made mixture. Usually I take a jar and put in honey or syrup, some warm water to make it more liquid, some white vinegar to attract more flies, and then a tiny bit of dish soap to remove the surface tension. The flies love it and they all go into it and drown

Might start spraying some UJSLN in there too!!

[Anonymous No.15313171]

>>15313156
For fruit flies, best thing to use is apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar because they’re attracted to fermenting fruit. A few drops of dish soap in the vinegar, works like magic. Turns out you actually catch more flies with vinegar than with honey.

[Anonymous No.15313235]

I just found out they discontinued this. Why? It was a very nice frag. Can anyone give me similar alternatives? Creamy citrus with some almonds?

[Anonymous No.15313244]

>>15313171
Yeah that's what the white vinegar is for, maybe the rest of my ingredients are unnecessary haha. Also I forgot that white vinegar isn't the same in Swedish as in English; I meant White Wine Vinegar.

[Anonymous No.15313252]

>>15313244
Ah, yeah, that should work. I like to put my vinegar/soap mixture in a jar, put a little piece of plastic wrap over the top, and poke some holes in it. That way, the flies go through the holes to get into the jar, but they have a hard time getting out. If they don’t drown, they just get trapped in the jar and eventually die.

[Anonymous No.15313276]

It's getting light out now and it looks pretty cloudy. Might get caught in the rain if I have to queue outside at the shops.

this was my first purchase, I blind bought it.
To be honest, I thought it was not very good, but that's because I was spraying it right in the center of my chest, and the smell constantly traveled into my nose, which became very annoying. I switched up the spray routine to be behind my ears and on my collarbone, away from the center, and now it's my favorite scent-- so much so that I actually need to buy another bottle.

It's so gorgeous when it lingers in the air, which is how other people smell it when you're wearing it. Also, keep in mind that most people don't wear fragrance, so don't worry about it being overplayed or w/e

Whatever you think of Jeremy he’s completely right about everything he says about that fragrance. The people that like it adore it, the people that don’t absolutely hate it. The opening is incredibly harsh (but I still love it) but when it settles down it’s a thing of beauty.

At the risk of parroting him, it really is a powerful fragrance. It’s not as loud as Tobacco Vanille or Tuscan Leather but it’s quietly assertive. Get close to it and you’re going to fucking know it’s there. Don’t sample it on card, and get at least 2ml when you sample it. It’ll take time to get used to it.

Why is Bright Neroli so good?
I tried so much for the summer, from several Aqua di Parmas and even Eau Sauvage which I love. I blind bought Eau de Cartier too, thinking it would finally dethrone Bright Neroli as my favorite summer scent. But alas it stays on top and is better than all of these while you can find it for just a fraction of the price of all these. It feels wrong to me that this is my favorite, it is my third bottle.

Since the corona has started I been posting here a bit too much. Like 30 posts or so a thread because I was stuck at home working so checking up on the thread now and then was tempting. Now that I moved I got quite a lot of things going here. Family, going back to the gym as my hand has healed enough to hit back steel and a new girl. But secondly I feel that because of the sheer volume of my contribution over last couple months this thread has been influenced a bit too heavily with my preferences and I see now people repeating different things after me because they perhaps thought that it's some kind of consensus in these threads. I've been posting here for years and always try to talk only about frags that really excite me but maybe it was a bit too much recently and that's also where I think all of the derailing and shitposting stems from. It was me who has brought up recently Sartorial, Azemour and FdB NYI as a great alternative to Jubi (Nicolai NYI, ESP and Chypre Palatin long time ago, too). I still think that these are excellent frags but they kinda started living their own life in these threads and some people naturally started revolting against their status here. It was always contrarianism that's been making /frag/ a great place, so hopefully it'll be even better once I come back after the break. Cutting yourself from reading and watching videos about fragrances gives also some mental space to enjoy what you have more, and in recent weeks I been testing sometimes like 3 new fragrance samples a day and stopped really enjoying them, so now I'm gonna focus on what I have and going through all my samples and decants slowly.
>>15315067
There's a difference. I think the Vetiver flanker is the best from the line and most youthful. Versace PH is a completely different fragrance. Way more generic but probably the general populace finds it more apt for younger guys than TdH line.

Fair enough. Didn’t think of it that way, I can see what you’re saying. People started liking CP (myself included), and now whenever you post about it, you get some dipshit spamming soijacks and generally being a nuisance. Contrarianism can be good, I suppose, when it causes people to look deeper than the shallow, popular designer offerings, but people here tend to take things too far and reject anything that’s popular regardless of quality. Too many sheep here who will just jump on any bandwagon. A great scent gets too popular? Some jackass starts going after it just to seem cool and then everyone jumps on board. It’s kinda pathetic, honestly. Have your own fucking opinions, dumb-dumbs.

[Anonymous No.15317315]

ok so I got a few samples, just saying what I think so don't kill me
in no particular order

1. escentric 05 - fresh and piney with some citrus. smells slightly synthetic in the drydown, like it

2. nio - fresh tart citrus. pretty straightforward and linear, like it

3. de profundis - straight forward floral. so realistic it doesn't smell like a perfume at all, if that makes sense. literally smells like putting your nose to a fresh, wet chrysanth. very nice and pretty

4. 1861 renaissance - fresh minty citrus. minty nio

5. odeur 71 - synthetic sickly sweet smell with some metallic notes. not that bad

6. uden - slightly sweet citrus. kind of veers into lemon multisurface cleaner for me, but it's not bad

7. bojnokopff - this is really terrible. you get a bit of chocolate gourmand in the opening, but that quickly fades into this weird stinky oud medicinal chemical odor. a shame because it has a nice bottle

8. naxos 1861 - sweet smooth honey tobacco. this really smells nice, couldn't stop sniffing my wrist. becomes more smoky in the drydown but maintains a good amount of sweetness. never cloying despite how sweet it is, very easy to like

9. fumerie turque - somewhat similar to naxos in terms of prominent notes but a lot less sweet. more tobacco

10. 20 Mars 2022 - looks how it smells, extremely dark. smells deeply smoky but has a touch of fruity sweetness like a strong, dark rum cake. also has a strong synthetic smell

11. copper - opening is metallic but quickly mellows out into some kind of floral earthy scent

12. ma nishtana - spiced incense. doesn't smell particularly smoky or complex to me, but it's ok

13. coup de foudre edp - very beautiful sweet orange citrus floral. extremely realistic floral like de profundis but so complex and well blended it's difficult to pick out individual notes. extremely small amount of inoffensive sweet oud in the background for depth. becomes more woody and less floral in the drydown but stays somewhat sweet. so good

[Anonymous No.15317381]

>>15317315
cont.
14. mefisto - fresh clean lavender citrus barbershop. smells really nice, also somehow comes off somewhat aquatic. very good

15. triad - rose/oud combo. good if you like oud, the rose is sickly sweet and never drops in intensity so it stays matched with oud all the way down

16. vetiver nocturne absolu - very green mossy earthy vetiver with some oud. not bad

17. ceylon - extremely sweet cloying candied honey scent with a small amount of oud. not my favorite

18. new york intense - fresh mostly oakmoss some lavender. not bad.

the rest I either don't really care for or I just haven't had enough time with them. the comme des garçon stuff was the most disappointing because I expected something a lot more interesting. favorites are probably mefisto, naxos, de profundis, and coup de foudre eau de parfum

[Anonymous No.15317386]

Couple of new samples in today's post.

>Xerjoff - Mefisto Gentiluomo
Upgraded SMW with better longevity, slightly inferior projecetion. Much smoother and well rounded than newer batches of SMW, like it a lot but not really anything I'm likely to buy for the pricetag. 8/10

>Frederic Malle - Musc Ravageur
Unique, strange scent, can't really put my finger on what actually stands out. Reminds me a little of the dark spices in Evody Noir d'Orient but much lighter and smoother than that. Spices, vanilla and musk but nothing stands out above each other and while it initially smells like something I don't like I still keep sniffing my wrists, it's a strange one. 6.5/10

>Intio - Oud for Greatness
Rich oud tempered with lavender and light spices. Like the opening a lot but then the drydown seems a lot less interesting the further it gets. 7/10

>MFK Oud Silk Mood
Really smooth rose oud, tried a lot of rose/oud scents but this is one of the best I've found to date. Prefer the opening to the darker dry down but this is really good overall and with good projection/longevity well. 8.5/10

I'm really on a hunt for a minty frag that's not too expensive as not to be a daily driver for work but something that isn't mediocre like Kryptomint. Sounds like it'd fit the bill.

I went to Lush cause I wanted to try V but apparently I have to go to a bigger store to find it. I tried a bunch of stuff though, there was something that smelled just like a fizzy cola, it was very cool but not something i would wear. What Would Love Do? was also very nice but I'm thinking its cause of the lavender. I'm thinking lavender, alongside violet, is one of those notes that makes me fall for a perfume time and time again. But anyway most of these were too sweet and its really annoying cause they didn't have to be sweet. I hate it for desserts and now that I'm into frags I hate it for this as well. Even what would love do was sweet which is why I wasn't totally into it even thought it was really cheap.

Lush has some very interesting stuff. Sarah McCartney used to work for them. Breath of God is must-try, though won’t be for everyone. Smells like if someone threw a melon and a pack of mint gum on a bonfire. Karma’s pretty neat too, though I think it smells like corn tortillas. Sun is also cool, basically smells like super realistic orange. Like, if you sliced an orange on a wood cutting board, that is 100% what Sun smells like.

I also own Superworld Unknown and it’s pretty cool. Kind of smells like a sweet, sticky gourmand layered over Creed Royal Oud. Very interesting stuff, not something I wear a lot, but it’s fun.

Their black-label scents are only available online and at a few flagship stores worldwide, so they’re not that easy to sample.

My new /fa/ aim whilst I still have enough hair to pull it off is to create fits that make me look like a Persona character in casual dress.
What frags should I sample to go with this aesthetic?

I like being able to put a smell to a note I previously wasn't sure what it smelled like, when you sniff your fragrances afterward it's like you are rediscovering them, it's a bit like understanding music theory in a sense.

[Anonymous No.15318208]

>>15318202
On the concept of music theory and all, since I learned to play guitar albeit basically, my dad and I always butt heads over bands like Foo Fighters and Status Quo being simplistic because its the same 3 or 4 chords played over with little variation in the track.
Is this the music equivalent to a scentlet loving Sauvage or Le Male not knowing there's a realm of more sophisticated scents out there?

Maybe I tried Breath of God, I had something with mint, but it was legit mint and that was the first time I smelt mint that smelled like mint and not toothpaste mint. That was cool and the more challenging thing I tried but I focused a lot on the mint and couldnt get past it. Maybe it was something else I tried I dunno. I saw Karma and the description of 60s London seemed cool but I didn't try it. Apparently the Queen Victoria Building store is a flagship store, I'll pop in if I'm ever in the city and I'll try to remember these. The pricing was also weird, it was 60AUD to 140 for 100ml bottles but I didn't understand why. They all seemed of similar quality.

AdP Colonia Club has a punchy mint in the opening. Dries down to a fresh green musk. Really like it for summer. If you want a more sophisticated alternative to cool water.

Im looking to buy something to wear in a club setting in high heat, my current options are
1) ultra male
2) y edp
I know what you're gonna say and i agree but im not gonna waste my good stuff on fucking trash who won't appreciate it, let alone to have it overshadowed by the stench of second hand smoke in a shitty thot nest.
Which one of those do you think would work best? Do you have any other alternatives?
Again, i don't give a shit about quality, i want the most normie designer thing in existence that i can keep wasting when i go clubbing and meet girls that i will fuck once and give a fake phone number while reserving my good stuff for me
Also, which fragrance was it that got you in this game?

Also be sure to try Tank Battle just for an interesting olfactory experience, I would never wear it but it's very nice reading the inspiration while smelling it.

I just tried YSL Tuxedo and I must say Hookeranon is right, this stuff is amazing. This would be the perfect cold weather date scent: sweet and warm, ambery, spicey, a dash of vanilla. Super comfy yet masculine and elegant. Sadly I already have my date night frag and I'm trying to keep my impulse buys down to a minimum. But if you get the chance, do try this out.

What animalic oud fragrances do you guys recommend? I've tried ouds from different niche houses (Xerjoff, D.S. Durga, Montale, Mancera, Killian, The House of Oud to name a few) And I always end up being disappointed with them. Is oud just not for me? Because I think I really love the note, I just haven't found "the right one"

Are Invictus Aqua and 1 Million Prive the only two Paco frags worth trying/buying?
I like Prive but for tobacco I have London to fill that gap and I'm looking for a fresher aquatic than ADG Profumo, something that's bright and cheerful.
I tried and didn't like the original Invictus much however. Felt too shower gel like.

If you want to know what oud actually smells like Mellifluence on Etsy has actual oud oil sample packs for £25 odd. If you want oud in a perfume, Bortnikoff Oud Maximus / Oud Monarch are nice (but incrediblly expensive). Check out Wafts top 10 ouds video for some other examples.

It's a meme, but their sample pack is the cheapest out there, so you might as well do it and get it out of your system. You can handpick 6 frags, I recommend Oud Silk be one of them since Wafts can't shut up about it.

Regarding Bortnikoff, are his non-oud scents worth checking out?
