Elysium Parfum Cologne is the best smelling fresh fragrance I have ever tried. I wish it projected longer than an hour, cannot justify even discounter prices for such shit performance.

Which one should I get if I want to try out Spicebomb? Regular one or Extreme?

[Anonymous No.15333415]

>>15333407
No idea--I am a noob to fragrances. I sampled the Extreme, really tempted to blind buy a bottle of the regular. I can see the extreme being a nice signature scent during cold weather.

I was planning on getting the regular and the clone by Cremo to replace the Extreme.

[Anonymous No.15333417]

okay, ordered the Floriental along with some other things, what am i in for?

[Anonymous No.15333420]

>>15333357
Do it! And if you ever get the opportunity to get Eau Sauvage Parfum 2012, don't hesitate. It's my favorite of all time and it completely mogs all other myrrh perfumes I've tried.

>>15333356
Cologne is great, but it's not really similar to ES in basically any way. A LOT of grapefruit and bergamot, it's so fresh and almost feels like an Atelier Cologne frag but lasts a bit better. It's great for spraying a lot during hot summer days

[Anonymous No.15333447]

>>15333415
Never ever blind buy. Spend a few dollars on a decant or just test it in store, but don't buy fully blind. Also, why get a clone? It's not that expensive in the first place. Please take your time to decide if you really need both.

>>15333417
Floriental is snice. I tested it in store and it was good, but probably need a decant to really appreciate it.
Amazingreen is interesting and definitely a unique kind of "green", can't really imagine a lot of people would want to wear it on themselves though. Personally I got a 5ml.
Incenses are solid and classics at this point.
CdG 2 is good if you're an artsy type, definitely unlike anything else.
I am a big fan of Wonderwood, it's a dumb reach for me in cold weather (in the best way), such a comforting scent. Considering getting a bottle this autumn.
Overall great picks anon, hope you enjoy them, don't forget to post.

>>15333420
I adore Cologne so much. You can practically bathe in it and it's still nice. Got a backup bottle. I feel like it is underappreciated here quite a bit (compared to Parfum), that's why I asked for your opinion.

How feminine is La Fille de Berlin? I'm willing to try a 2ml sample to see if it suits me. Will cop a sample of Lyric too since the rose in L'homme Ultime really worked with my skin and personality since I am a tad effeminate (least from what my sister tells me)

ESP 2017 and Nicolai’s NYI are pretty similar. They share multiple notes with NYI having a bit more to offer like a prominent black pepper note but NYI is missing the smoky vetiver aspect that Eau Sauvage Parfum has. I own a big bottle of ESP and a 5ml decant of NYI. Still gonna get a 30ml of NYI because it’s just that good.

Where is L'HOMME INFINITE poster? I just wanna argue that Hommage a l'homme is better. I thought I would get both but after trying Fahrenheit today again I don't think I will. Fahrenheit annoyed me that its dirtiness was restrained. I get that its the point but I wish it didn't hold itself back. Hommage a l'homme doesn't restrain its classiness. It knows what it is. Fahrenheit is shying away from what it wants to be.

But anyway blog post, I finally tried a heap of niches today. Finally smelled Grand Soir and Baccarat Rouge. Yeah that was some good shit. I'm too much of a noselet to comprehend what was going on but fuck it was good. Tried a bunch of CdGs. Tried Musc Ravageur and some other Frederic Malle. Again so good but at this point my nose was getting fatigued. I wanted to try some Serge Lutens but my nose was gone.
>>15333417
I tried most of these in store today. Floriental and Amazingreen were the coolest. I wasn't a fan of 2Man but everyone else likes it. I think Wonderwood is mediocre desu but I get the appeal. It's light and airy and I would've personally preferred it to be heavier. You missed Black, my friend called it generic but then I asked what else is out there like it and he couldn't tell me. Black gave me a HOOOOOOHH moment. I got a sample of it and can't wait to wear it tomorrow. Of course liking Black depends on how much you like Black Pepper. The only comparison I can think of is the discontinued Marc Jacobs Bang, theres nothing else with this much of a pepper hit. And it is quite a dark perfume so theres that too its probably the darkest thing I've smelled.
>>15333727
similar to my newbie stuff but i grew out of it in like 2 months and now eros and cdnim just sit there while MB Legend is a dumb reach. don't go down the rabbit hole.

I actually thought it met the hype unlike Santal 33 and 2Man but like I said my nose was dropping off at this point. No testers where you live? I can't see myself buying a sample but I get the hype so I'd say yeah get a sample if its you're only option.

Sorry didn't see your post brother. Fahrenheit to me isn't about the dirtiness. It's about that vaporous quasi-soapy oiliness. It changes every time I wear it. For me it's incredibly evocative of a fever dream type of summer setting. Insects chirping violently around you, freshly cut grass mingling with the scent of petroleum and laundered shirts during a brown-out caused by a heat wave. There's truly nothing else like it. Recent bottles (2017-current) captures the vibe of the original almost perfectly, but you really need to do a full wearing (like 4-5 sprays) of a vintage to grasp the whole thing. So many unprecedented notes like chamomile, dusty nutmeg,and violet leaf (methyl octine carbonate) swirl around to form that crass 80s hairy chested soapiness yet like I said it's not a soapy fragrance, at least for the most part.

For me right now though it's Cool Water

I tried it once, early in my frag journey, and didn't really think much of it at all.

There's so many cool things we could do. If we can scrape fragrantica's content (the reviews for each frag), then we could do something similar to Latent Semantic Analysis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_semantic_analysis, basically a fancier word cloud) for each of them. This would include notes (vetiver), accords (plum) but also other associations (summer breeze, mommy's fur coat). Then we could make these searchable.

We could also implement some similarity rating algorithms and show how closely two or more frags are associated, or k-means clustering, all kinds of cool data analysis stuff. I'm totally in for doing something awesome.

Like incense and """gothic""" shit. Enjoy balsamic scents, opoponax, wormwood. Also really like neroli, but I've pretty much found the perfect one for myself, still I want to discover something new and every single one gets compared to Neroli Portofino, think it's high time I test that.

Oud Wood is rated very high overall and I want to test more woody comfy scents, e.g. I really enjoy Wonderwood.
Noir de Noir was described as "gothic" so that got me somewhat interested. This one is probably gonna wait since there are no 5ml decants available rn, which is my preferred size.

Guerlain's golden bottles look very promising, there's incense and other kinda resinous notes.
Homme is just cheap and I want to check it out. Wouldn't mind getting a good mint scent, but I'm yet to find one. That, and I trust in Guerlain quality.

Creed Viking was mentioned here and I can get it pretty cheap. Don't own any of Creed's shit yet - I had an opportunity to test most of them in a store and was unimpressed (other that Vetiver Original, but the price tag is still outrageous and I already have 300ml of Mugler Cologne goodness). Though I was pretty fatigued by that point so...

Forgot to mention that I also want to get Baudelaire. I have a 2ml decant which is half-empty, but want another 5ml. I like the incense + leather combo, still not gonna get a full bottle though.

Van Cleef & Arpels Moonlight Patchouli
Jovoy La Liturgie Des Heures

Encens Et Lavande
which is fucking great and I can recommend it if you enjoy gothic. Same as with Baudelaire, I have a 2ml, but it's running out. Not sure about the full bottle, but damn I want to appreciate it some more.

Ensens et Lavande - might just be my nose, but it's pretty gothic for me. Very high quality lavender & incense.

LM Kingdom of Dreams - literally an orthodox church. I know that people always describe incense frags as "smelling like a church" and it's always nowhere near. This one though, I was quite shocked. I've been in a few and this is VERY close at least. Debatable if it's wearable at all, but after a few hours it becomes pretty pleasant even to normies. Personally I like to wear it from time to time.

De Profundis - Chrysanthemum-centric and pretty green, it still has incense in its base. Hard to describe, but I'd say it's quite gothic.

Thanks, but could you elaborate?

>>15339885
Tried most of them, too lazy rn to go through them again, but XV was the most interesting for me. Enjoyed VIII (well duh, I like neroli), V was snice. Oh also X was interesting, green as fuck, almost like a salad but in a good way. Probably one of the more unique ones.

Hey gothicboi have you tried Eau Sauvage Parfum 2012? Not really gothic of course but the myrrh is BEAUTIFUL.

[None !4HssNEROLI No.15339962]

Have only tried the 2017 version and I actually own a full bottle. I enjoy it a lot. Is the 2012 version still worth seeking out?

> FUCK YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT BR 540 IS FUCKING DISGUSTING. It smells synthetic, clinical, latex, fluoride, exactly like the dentist office. Not even lying I almost gagged when I first put it on, felt like someone was about to drill into my teeth.

Sup Neroli trip. I'm the same anon who mentioned I want to try Encens (and also Gris Clair). The black bottles from Serge (and those little black vaporizers are gothic/effay as fuck)

what's the most sexy, erotic, appealing perfume for a female?

[Anonymous No.15340152]

what do you think of Maison Margiela fragrances? Are they worth it? And what about L'état libre d'orange? This house appeals me. I am thinking of getting some samples from one of these brands.

Btw, what are your favorite neat, clean fragrances, you could wear at the workplace? Thanks in advance

Sup. Is Encens that difficult to find? Gris Clair isn't that special imo, still sample worthy. Yeah the bottles are great, I love my bottle of De Profundis. Still not sure which ones are better - these or Serge's bell jars. I've heard they are a pain to deal with, actually.

[Anonymous No.15340342]

Not the anon you're replying to but I can't find Encens on my usual sample sites (in UK here however so it may be different elsewhere in the world)

Maison Margiela Replica line is not worth it
not niche and poor longevity even by designer standards

[Anonymous No.15340362]

>>15339691
I'm really disappointed at how poor the longevity is, even though it's my favorite smelling fragrance out of everything I own. I almost wonder if I just become anosmic.

[Anonymous No.15340372]

>>15340152
Margiela are ok designer frags that aren't really worth the price and are usually not as interesting as you think they are. Try finding them in a department store and smell them, if you like any of them you can usually get them for ok prices on the second hand market (often 50-75% of full price)

IS AMBRE NUIT WORTH SAMPLING

[Anonymous No.15340436]

If I'm able to get my own flat soon enough and have it really comfy with the interior and such what frags should I consider using as room sprays?
I was thinking of BDC EDP for spring/summer and DHI for autumn/winter.
Or is this a dumb idea? Should I be considering cheapies like Azzaro as room sprays as a step up from Febreeze?

[Anonymous No.15340464]

Lads, I just bought this for 80 Swiss francs (roughly 80 bucks). What do I do with it? How easy can I resell it and what price can I get for it? Or should I sit on it?

Already getting laid using Wanted by Night--couple of girls have called me back in the morning saying how their beds smell like my perfume lol. Anyways, really interested on these cheap colognes. They are being marketed as essential oil based without harsh chemicals. I added the Spicebomb clone, if you have more recommendations let me know

try essential oils instead, maybe? i have one i use for sleeping, smells mainly of cardamom but idk what the fuck the lady at the essential oils store added to it. i made her smell lndl to try and replicate it. doesn't smell anything close to lndl as expected, but it smells very nice still.

haven't tried using it with a diffuser tho, it might be what you're looking for. i just spraymine on my blanket

Check out something by john varvatos, vintage and signiture are both great and work in medium heat. Given Floridas climate, I dont think it ever gets cold enough for a real "cold weather scent" so an inbetween would be good

[Anonymous No.15341025]

jules takes like 2 hours to dry down to something that isn't harsh. gotta apply it like first thing in the morning so it will be in its good smelling stage by the time you're anywhere

it has that sharp harsh smell of greenness from a lot of the older men's fragrances that very slowly dies down until a couple hours in and then it's like a smooth pleasant masculine greenness instead. it's worth buying for your dad and sneaking some sprays for yourself when you're at home once in a while

I do like First Instinct for a summer dumb reach but I despise the pure alcohol opening. Stopped me from picking up a bottle discounted.
Would blind buying the extreme flanker be better? Since I'd only pick up a 50ml and make it my autumn /winter signature scent to burn through it.
