La Nuit de l'Homme, the indisputable winner when compared to Layton.

Both are meh. I prefer LNDH over Layton because I’d just get Boss Bottled Intense instead of the latter without paying the ridiculous markup Layton but YSL performs like shit. I have EDCs that last longer. I have very good memories with the original YSL Lhomme tho. Very snice not imposing scent that’s both professional and clean but also quite spicy and interesting. However I’ve finished my bottle that I got like 10 years ago recently and not gonna rebuy the watered down modern formulations nor chase vintages but just let it go and keep memories.

Is there any difference between the Terre Des Hermes EDT, EDP, and Intense Vetiver? I tried a sample of the EDP and really liked it, but should I sample the others before getting a bottle?

[Anonymous No.15569689]

>>15569443
Been seeing this around so much I picked it up cheap on FB. Excited for it to arrive.

[Anonymous No.15569692]

Went to my local Sephora for the first time in a long time. I was quite shocked that they sell Serge Lutens and ELDO there. Tested a couple that were surprisingly wearable. You or someone like you is a huge, juicy almost candy-like mint and apple. I expected ELDO I am Trash to be disgusting, Secretiones Magnifique-like but it's actually a wearable sweet fragrance that only is a bit off if you keep in the mind the blurb describing it from the brand
>Do not throw anything away because at the bottom of our trash lies the fermented distillation of great love. The garbage trucks hold flowers that can still bleed, peels and rinds that can still give. The noxious exhalations have honey notes that can merge with the earth. And there are so many floating concretions, the trash that is thrown into the sea, and the natural waste, the ambergris, mystical symbols, the attitudes of primitive tribes – these must now be reprocessed.
It has some sweet, sticky quality to it. The 2019 Serge Lutens realease La Couche du Diable is fucking amazing. Beautiful spices. Apart from these I tried Guerlain Heritage EdT and those of you who like Creed Bois du Portugal/Lalique Homme (or maybe New York Intense but it's less similar to it) shoud try it. It's really cheap and perfect as a sophisticated manly fragrance for special formal occasions.

[Anonymous No.15569696]

>>15569577
Yes, EdT is a less cloying version of EdP but they're quite similar at the end of the day. Vetiver is a bit different beast, clearly sharing the DNA though. It's also my favorite out of these three as it's the most airy one.

If it had a straw or fenugreek note I would agree.
Actually that is a pretty neat idea for a frag. Follow the structure of EdB, cut down on the smoky tobaccoy note a bit, add in a fair amount of straw and a bit of fenugreek and/or assafetid. Is there any frag like this?

[Anonymous No.15570042]

great question, would cop if someone could reccomend

I don't really get ink from it. Are you sure your mind hasn't suggested them because of the name? Auto-suggestion can be a powerful thing. For comparison, a fragrance with prominent ink note is CdG 2 (silver). It's way closer to biro ink than EN.

[Anonymous No.15570087]

I found out the name means 'black ink' after searching 'encre noir inky' after my first try! in fairness it's faded a bit now and I'm getting a dark, fresh, slightly chemically smell with a clear cypress note

As to whether it's real oakmoss or not, imo it's either real or a really good synthetic

>has been reformulated and now performs like crap?
Yes, like 5 times already. I would suggest getting Trussardi Riflesso instead. It's quite close to LNDH, performs better and costs 1/3 price of YSL. However, if you're asking about it again because you watched some over-enthusiastic videos on YouTube and they got you psyched about getting it then hold your horses. It became very viral at some point and every youtuber was shilling it. But it's not a juice of God or Holy Grail of fragrances in any sense. Plenty of other better fragrances around that could serve the same role as LNDH.

I got a 2ml sample before copping, so I’ve given it a few good wears already. Honestly, Amouage’s best release in years by far. Maybe best ever. I get tons of cognac, but also this mellow grapefruit in the opening that’s not tart grapefruit, but more like rind or peel. Definitely something animalic, kind of furry and leathery, lots of smoke. The dry down is all about the spices and resins. You still get the other stuff, but the spices and resins are the big stars. The spices are very smooth, too. Not really loud and cacophonous like a lot of Middle Eastern spice frags tend to be. Beyond all else, though, this is Amouage getting back to their roots. This one smells very Middle Eastern. No attempts at being more mass appealing, no trying to mimic French or Italian perfumery, just an unapologetic Arab Oil Sheikh scent.

Plus I got a free full-sized bottle of Dia Man shower gel, so that was nice.

I ordered my first perfume samples and already received the first five. I tried Creed Virgin Island Water yesterday, and Xerjoff Casamorati Mefisto Gentiluomo today. For some reason, they both got really weak after a very short amount of time. I sprayed them twice on each side of my neck and on each wrist. After maybe an hour, my girlfriend and I could only smell them if we put our noses directly on the areas i sprayed. Are they just weak perfumes or am I doing something wrong?

BN9 is a generally unimpressive, all synthetic (I think) designer house which seems similar to Montale/Mancera. If you're wondering about SoP, then that's definitely not for winter. The only winter scent I've smelled from them is New York Sandlewood, which is kind of nasty. Eau de New York is nice though if you're looking for a neroli cologne that actually lasts a long time.

However I'm not sure if I should really put there APH as the basic one to start with. It's actually not that widely available in stores for testing (at least in here - I've ordered a decant from a fb group) and I really see where all the voices saying that it's a bit dated coming from. Classic is classic but I guess a modern notion of a reference fougere has changed a bit since APH has been released. I'd actually appreciate your thoughts what it could be replaced by (if). out of those listed by you and me I think only BdJ is readily available in every department store.

The more I think about this the more favorable I am to replacing APH by BdJ.

I think APH might be too challenging for people who are just starting out to find their fragrance preferences for whom this chart is intended in the first place.

I like to think of APH as the entry level fougere, but I see what you mean. Perhaps Le Male would actually be the best starting point for this branch now that I think about it, would you agree? Kouros, Caron, and Gold are all good inclusions as well. I personally have never understood how people see 1725 and IB as so similar, considering their respective vanilla/almond and violet notes are such differentiating factors, but that's just my take. But I agree the starting point should be accessible and popular (hence my offering of le Male).

Was thinking about Le Male, too desu. But it seems that everywhere where you can get Le Male you can get as well BdJ. I'll see how crowded it gets.
IB and 1725 are really similar on my skin. IB feels a bit more opulent and multi-dimensional (and performs better) but the major noticeable difference scent-wise is that it has cardamom instead of licorice.
>>15573133
Absolute is a very close brother of CdG 2 Man. Make whatever you want out of it (hint: it's great). For contrast I hate the Intense flanker with passion - it's a synthetic, cheap boozy scent that really irritates my nose.
Avignon is indeed firstly and fore mostly an incense scent. The woody accord is toned down and only in background.

Great choice. Probably my favorite designer fragrance of all time. It almost never shows up on discounter websites though. If you can try to get it in a duty free zone on some airport. I paid somewhere around $60 for 100ml that way for it. That might be tricky because of the Chinese cold though. Other option (both for ESP and Eau des Baux) are facebook groups. They show up there sometime. Or eBay - I think Eau Sauvage line is not faked and if you look for used bottles you can get some good deals from people who accidentally bought it instead of Sauvage.

Good but very safe choices. Explore some niche stuff, try some more bold options. And you have enough bottles for now, only samples allowed from now on.

how come nobody told me gucci guilty absolute was fucking based? holy shit, how did morillas get away with pushing it out on the gucci guilty line? pure leather and petrol. i even get some blackberry in the opening but dries down to a set of hairy balls. gonna cop a 5oz bottle before they axe it.

Eh it reminds me of pre corona swaps on fb groups. There was this fucking guy who got my 70% full vintage bottle of TImbuktu for £30 after he got it I think he made a decant himself and send me a photo of a barely half-full bottle and asked me to refund him £7 lol. It was already a fucking stellar deal because I just wanted to get rid of some bottles and this cunt wanted to PayPal him an equivalent of a Big Mac with fries. I told him to fuck off and made a public post with photos and screenshots of our conversation in the group we made a swap in and he got banned from all of them.
Similar thing happened to me on eBay when I tried to sell my vintage Zootopian Bat. Guy took also a 5-10ml decant out and asked for a return and refund on my cost. However, you can't do a shit as a seller on eBay in these cases. He said that the item was not as described and opened a case against me, uploading his photos of the bottle with lower levels claiming that IT WAS NOT AS IN MY PHOTOS. No shit Sherlock, you took a decant off it or have worn it for a week spraying literately. I lost the case because I couldn't prove that my photos were taken before putting the Zootopian on the auction. Had to return him his money, pay him for postage back to me and got a bottle with less juice. I've heard that this is not a singular case and eBay is full of scamming buyers protected by eBay doing this kind of shit. Since then I've stopped using eBay for selling.

Bravo, you did your homework. I wouldn't buy a full bottle of some of these personally but all of them are good quality for the price and can imagine clicking with someone. It's also snice to see that bottles are actually being used and it wasn't just on quick 'cheapies haul'. However, I'm seconding the other anon. It's time to get into sampling. You're covered with your full bottles for quite some time.

thanks to this general I learned about sultan pasha.
Just got my first order from him, blind bought 1 ml of Le rayon vert, Thebes grade 2 and Nankun kodo.
He also added samples of ensar rose, chypre chrysantheme and chypre narcisse which is really nice, considering it wasn't that big an order.
Le rayon vert is my first time smelling real civet and it's fucking phenomenal. Powdery, mossy goodness with minty undertones.
Thebes is probably the best leather frag I've ever smelled.
Haven't tried the rest yet
Thank you for recommending him way back

that's what i was worried about. I don't fully trust brands like areej le dore or bortnikoff because people keep saying the quality is exceptional, but the blending is shit.
Well, so far Le rayon vert and thebes seem to be blended just fine

Have tried like 20 different Creeds. The only 3 I would consider buying are Green Irish Tweed, Bois du Portual and Silver Mountain Water. But the last two are kinda pointless when they get mogged by Nicolai New York Intense and Xerjoff Mefisto Gent respectively. GIT is snice.

I think someone should mail him a super vintage perfume decant (pre 1975), before ISO E was made, just to see him in his review be like:

"ah yes this has a backbone of hedione *finger wiggling gestures*, ISO E Super *jazz hands*"

I kinda agree with this. I got into fragrances because I put some thought into the way I present myself. Ended up being a nichefag for this reason that likes some hardcore stuff but I'm also self aware about the positive and negative qualities a choice of a fragrance can exude. Both in professional and social settings.

I'm not going to pretend like Sauvage, Bleu de Chanel, or La Nuit de l'Homme is some god amazing juice. I use it just to get pussy wet that's it. I'm not some Aventus wearer who unironically thinks Aventus is an amazing fragrance to justify their purchase/continued dive into the rabbit hole.

I still like MI, personally. I just think it’s a great mass-appealing scent if you don’t want to go with something generic, shower gel-y. It’s a semi-niche dumb reach frag, basically. I still take a bottle when I travel a lot. Kinda just works well everywhere.

Viking is very good, though it is basically a much better old-school Old Snice, so I could see people thinking it’s not worth the money.

I love Royal Oud too. It’s not an oud scent, more cedar and sandalwood to me, but I love that smooth, slightly bitter, woody-sweetness. It might be too mature for a lot of guys here, though.

Otherwise, I agree. Many of Creed’s frags are nothing special. I do think this general is a bit hard on the house pretty much just out of hipsterdom, though. I think it’s cool to hate on them because Aventus is so popular and its fans are so embarrassing. Not attacking anyone, just an observation.
