I really wish him the best, God loves a trier and he went for it.

>Olibere Paris Chemical Love Extrait
>Chemical Love.Cold and distant beauty, real icon of the 70’s, symbol of the glamorous and elegant woman par excellence. This fragrance opens with a forbidden, transgressive accord of Bitter Orange and Cocaine, bitterness and metal. Then, the liquid is slowly diffusing and both heart and body warm up. Elegance of the Ylang-Ylang and sweetness of the Bailey’s cream. Finally, the opulence of the Patchouli andSandalwood give a powerful and completely addictive effect to this Extrait de Parfum. Let yourself be intoxicated by this sumptuous, sensual and sophisticated alchemy.

I'm so glad that I reduced my collection substantially and try to always stay at 10 full bottles max. It seems to me like most of people with elaborate collections are just addicted to that feel between wanting a fragrance badly through buying it and once it arrives and you apply it couple times you actually stop enjoying as much as you were enjoying the thought of buying it. It was kinda the same with me. I feel like you stop appreciating your bottles once you have too many of them, too. It's a weird addictive hobby. Having a limited selection + samples/decants brought me so much peace in my mind.

[Anonymous No.15715759]

>>15715752
It also feels so feminine/metro to have so many beauty products to be fair as a men. But it might be just some of my insecurities as I never had a negative comment from chicks seeing all the bottles I used to have (40+) as long as I was chill about it and not autistic and just saying 'yeah I like to smell good'. Quite opposite, they were quite intrigued and asking me if they can smell the caps. It was hilarious to hear their opinions - almost like one of these videos where some thot gives her thoughts about 10 fragrances lol.

Snice. It's one of fragrances on my whishlist but I refrain from buying waiting for some bottles to hit discounter websites first. I've seen all older Memos available on discounts but not Winter Palace (for example you can get big bottles for 50% of the price on Notino). Has anyone of you seen it hit grey market already? I'm wondering if the reason why all older bottles are readily available is some reformulation/rebranding/change of bottles or boxes but Winter Palace is too new for that.

Early days I think I was flirting with addiction, I bought thirty bottles in two years, but this year I’ve bought one. I wish I’d known about sampling sooner, but I’m also not unhappy with my collection aside from a couple that get neglected.

I think sampling has proved that I don’t know what I like quite as confidently as I thought I did. As my nose became more refined I realised that the things I couldn’t detect months ago were actually quite significant differences and suddenly it wasn’t as clear what I thought was good and bad. I still have 30-40 bottles, no doubt “too much” to a lot of people, but quite comfortable to me.

I could see myself buying a Prin fragrance and possibly Papillon, but other than that I don’t have a strong desire to buy more bottles, but sampling is definitely the way forward for me. The price of a night down the pub for a small selection of smelly water samples seems reasonable to me.

>>15715759
I think it’s definitely insecurities, it’s a hobby and I’m not giving it up because people might think it’s feminine. Plus that carries with it a subtly sexist suggestion there’s something inherently wrong with being a woman.

I bought this after anon shilled the discount code to get it got 20 quid a couple threads back, its the La Route De Soie discovery lab, did anybody else get it or was it just me who got meme marketed? It's pretty interesting stuff, I forget which is which but there's a lot of citrus and rose going on and lychee in one of them too which is pretty cool. I haven't had time to really think about them all yet but the only masculine one as far as I can tell is Xandria, and it lasts like crazy, one spray on my wrist yesterday afternoon and I can still smell it although obviously there's zero sillage by now and it's just on my skin. Strong tonka bean and its kinda powdery in the dry down, not my usual kind of thing but I kinda like it. I'll keep that and give the other samples to the girls in my family I guess.

Dangerously close to buying En Passant. I know there are fans of it here, how versatile do you think it is? And you you feel it’s more of a “non-fragrance” in the sense you could wear it and nobody would know unless they were really close?

Ok, so far, Koala is reminding me a bit of Carven’s L’eau Intense, but spicier and more herbaceous. The opening is a cool blast of eucalyptus. After that, you start to get a slightly sweet, spicy, citrusy thing, still with the eucalyptus, but less intense and a bit less green.

Quite snice, actually.

You’re not helping me with the decision. (You’re helping a lot actually).

Do you think 100ml is a good idea? Obviously with lighter scents it’s easier to spray heavier but at the same time it seems like lots of sprays would be counter to the point of this fragrance.

>but they seem like a good house for learning about and experiencing different notes since they seem to experiment so much.
Yes, I got a sample set didn't get any bottle but really enjoyed using all of the samples to learn more and develop my nose. Many Zootopians are also pretty unique not only scent-wise but also because you can clearly get three very different phases of development. Typically it's more or less linear experience and with some of them every 2 hours you have almost like a new fragrance on you.

with malle its a lot more economic to get the 100ml, but I am not gonna tell you to do it, since you're the one who sampled it and has to live with it.. I can say that I just got the 50ml and when it was empty I by accident stumbled on another 50ml that was on sale in a local shop.

Just after I posted I sprayed Levant on one wrist and Indus on the other. Levant is totally unremarkable. Indus on the other hand has a great opening imo. Really strong sweet fruity blast that I didn't expect. But the drydown is boring as fuck, literally just rose. The card with the notes lists musk, patchouli and plum, but I don't get any of that. Maybe a tiny, tiny bit of incense, but it's basically just all rose.

Is this the OG Chad miasma? People would mostly get confused at why plastic is burning when I do 10 sprays of T-Rex but bitch niggas MAD when you don't wear deodorant.

Another wear of Amber Teutonic from my sample. The opening is 9/10 but I still can't go over how much more generic it turns after 1-2h - smells like vanilla custard with sprinkle of spices and saltiness (that reminds of a way more polite PR Ambra Aurea) + some cedar. I kinda don't buy the notes breakdown DS Durga provide, there are no firs of different kinds here to my nose - what I get is mostly cedar (a generic one not 'Alpine' kind lol).

Well, welcome to the club. You're yet another anon in this thread who doesn't see a reason for all the hype MFK gets. It is so hilarious that Kurkdjian did often such a good job for other fragrance house but his own Maison is dogshit for most of the time.

I'm just starting out. Was thinking of buying some samples from one of the linked sites.

What are a few decent starters for everyday wear? I was thinking Sauvage and the vintage Eau Sauvage, Blue de Chanel, Acqua de Parma, Floris 89 maybe. Is Tom Ford a meme?

Only cologne I own is Guess by Marciano I was given as a gift years back so that is my starting point

[Anonymous No.15719999]

Well that perfume doesn't have any oud in it so you not being familiar with oud shouldn't matter much.

Sounds like a pretty good start! If I were you I would get both AdP Colonia and Colonia Intensa. Intensa is better for everyday and Colonia is better for warm weather imo

I particularly like when they started defending synthetic ingredients. It fits into a bigger picture where perfumers want to inform public that calling everything 'natural' is just yet another marketing gimmick. Luca Turin was openly praising some synthetic ingredients, too. It seems like sophisticated fragrance enthusiasts are also becoming aware of that (for example Wafts' metamorphosis from talking shit about synthetics to the recent praise of ambroxan). Hard times for brands that built they entire image around using natural ingredients. They will probably survive if at least their perfumes are decents but good luck Areej Le Dores and other Ensar Ouds - you charged premium only because you claimed to use the best natural ingredients but the compositions were more than often just so-so. Good.

Maurice Roucel made me realize that fragrances indeed these days are mostly judged by the first 10 seconds instead of the entire aura it creates around you throughout the day. I'm also to blame for ordering 10 samples and neglecting half of them because how they smell out of the atomizers.
