I've tried jubi, lyric, and reflection. Reflection is the safest but not all that unique.
Lyric starts peppery to my nose, and dries down to a really nice rose soap. Might get myself a 5 or 10 ml decant.

Sprayed Floriental on my other wrist and it's the same as decant i got from the guy i was posting about earlier, so turns out i got only a fake eau sauvage parfum.

What do you guys think of this? I just received a new batch of samples, and smelling the "sensational" Aventus for the first time proved to be an incredible disappointment. This limey boy made up for it, though, even though it classifies as a cheap buy. I received multiple compliments from the same person over the span of an hour or two. It's a massive dose of fresh lime up top with basically the same vetiver note as the one in Guerlain vetiver.

>>15343525
I think people just have trouble coming to terms with the idea that this "medium" doesn't really get to have classics in the way that others do. Neuromancer, Citizen Kane, the Mona Lisa, Beethoven's 9th, etc., aren't replaced with altered copies every three years. They just remain in their old forms. It's extra problematic because we often rely on lists of classics to tell us what's worth investigating, with the usual idea being that if something is still regarded highly many years on, there's probably something to it.

You fags should use your big computer brains and finish redoing the chart instead of making a website. It’s orders of magnitude easier and all data is there already. The way it’ll end up is that you’re gonna stop working on the website after couple of days and we won’t have neither an updated chart nor website.

I don't know shit about image editing and frankly, don't think the chart is too useful for beginners. I mean yeah, it's useful, but they still have to sample 20+ frags to get a basic idea about those groups. And even then, frags in each group can be completely different. I do know something about making websites though. It can be a way of giving back to the community and gaining some valuable experience in the process. We don't have to power through it and can take it slow. You are welcome to join if you want to help out or if you're just interested.

I wonder, by my troth, what thou and I

Did, till we loved? Were we not weaned till then?

But sucked on country pleasures, childishly?

Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers’ den?

’Twas so; but this, all pleasures fancies be.

If ever any beauty I did see,

Which I desired, and got, ’twas but a dream of thee.


And now good-morrow to our waking souls,

Which watch not one another out of fear;

For love, all love of other sights controls,

And makes one little room an everywhere.

Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,

Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown,

Let us possess one world, each hath one, and is one.


My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,

And true plain hearts do in the faces rest;

Where can we find two better hemispheres,

Without sharp north, without declining west?

Whatever dies, was not mixed equally;

If our two loves be one, or, thou and I

Love so alike, that none do slacken, none can die.

Big fan of Dior Homme EDT. I've bought and sold the intense multiple times wanting to love it. I think in the dry down it becomes more chocolatey than the EDT.
The thing that puts me off is the pear which people don't talk about as often.

That being said, it's a classic and worth a sample.

in case anyone in this thread likes LDDM and has thought of getting the candle version for their home: i have both and the candle smells nothing like the edt. the candle is like a kind of masculine vanilla smell that actually smells pretty good, but completely different from the edt. imo not worth it cause it's pricey and gets used up quickly too

I actually tried the parfum version at a local mall before all this pandemic shit flared up and I was surprised how much I liked it despite hating the etd and somewhat liking the edp. It opens up similar to the edp but the drydown is very different. Smoky, incensey, and it's rounded out nearly spotless. I would never buy it at the price it is but it was a nice surprise.

when you compare how many hours you can burn the candles vs how many hours you can get out of the sprays, and consider the fact that the candles are about the same price and sometimes more expensive than the sprays, it's almost never worth it. the candles obviously smell good but unless you have money to burn it's always more worth it to buy a spray fragrance than a candle version

Just get 5-10ml decants of things you want to buy. At this point there is literally no reason of getting full bottles as you evidently aren't going to have your signature scents. If you swapped those bottles for 5ml decants, it would still last you a few years. It's really an addiction like gambling, you bet your money in hopes of getting a scent that will blow your socks off, but it wont happen. Smell is too small of a stimulus to have such a dopamine response. Better smell coke or something. I'm buying samples of things that people are ejaculating over, and they turn out to be like, yeah pleasant smelling, but nothing extatic really. I've sampled maybe over 50 scents, and now i'm planning to get a decant of nicolai's NYI and if i won't cum smelling it, i'm hopping out of this shit

Ok, so that price range gives you some options. To begin with, you should know that there are two flankers of Encre Noire that tend to be popular with fans of the original, those being Encre Noire A L'Extreme (a "classier," more complex version) and Encre Noire Sport (a fresher version). Now, based on the given price range, popularity, and my personal experience, I'd suggest trying the following (in no particular order):
Terre d'Hermes (bitter orange and an earthy base)
Eau Des Baux (vanilla, incense, and wood)
Guerlain Vetiver (classy, green, and masculine)
Azzaro Pour Homme (classic masculine and difficult to describe without smelling)
Eau Sauvage (smooth citrus and powder; not to be confused with Sauvage)
Caron Pour Un Homme (vanilla and lavender)
Cool Water (the archetypal aquatic)
Nautica Voyage (like Cool Water but cheaper and maybe better)
Fahrenheit (petrol and cut grass, but in a good way)

Then you have your more typical popular fragrances, which are nice if boring to me, like Dior Homme, La Nuit, Spicebomb, and Sauvage. You may still like them. If you want something that's weird and controversial in the same way that Encre Noire is, try Yatagan and Narciso Rodriguez For Him.

If I haven't smelled it, I haven't included it on this list. There are gaps that other users may fill in for you.

These are great recommendations as far as designer perfumes go. If you want to get into niche stuff (which you can, for the price range posted) then your only option is to sample a ton, since the niche world is so vast. I suggest you start by getting a few sample packs from different houses. And also check out the Chanel Exclusif and Dior Collection Privee, it's the fancy line of those brands, not available everywhere but they're within your price range and definitely worth it. Also check out Tom Ford Private Blend, they're not my favorite house but they have a huge selection, so by trying them out you'll easily find what you enjoy or not, and get a sense of where to go from there.

(1) They seemed like the safest recommendations. It's not that I think they smell great, but rather that I think they're passable and it's clear that lots of people like them.
(2) I don't have much experience with the 100-200 euro price range. It's kind of an awkward middle ground, as far as I can tell, and, as I said, I'm not going to tell him to smell something I haven't personally smelled.
(3) I've honestly forgotten about going to stores because my local area is a desert in that regard.

By all means, though, go ahead and tell us what YOU would recommend, since I did such a poor job. To not give him anything is to do a worse job than I.
