Sotd Guerlain Coriolan
Cariolan is a men’s fragrance, presented in 1998 in a woody chypre composition. It is dedicated to the man full of contrast: to Coriolan, a legendary Roman general who was said to be powerful and strong, pride and confident, barer of nobility, braveness and love. Coriolanus has inspired Shakespeare, Plutarh and Beethoven. He was the man who accomplished all of his goals, not because of his glory, but because of a woman he loved. The character of this great man inspired Jean-Paul Guerlain to make this fragrance; to celebrate freedom of the spirit and love with carnal pleasures and seduction. The perfume is made out of lemon leafs, bergamot, neroli and petit grain at the top notes, its heart ticking in a passionate rhythm of spicy fusion of ginger, nutmeg, ylang-ylang and gorse; settling at the warm woody base of patchouli, benzoin and leather. The elegant glass bottle was designed by Jean-Paul Guerlian in association with Robert Granai. The top and the curves on the side of the bottle are made out of bronze.

Tested a tester, smells like a pink pepper bomb, perhaps not so much but the peppery smell is constant and in the kind of one you would use to cook rather than a boisee one, then starts to dry akin to something woody but not quite, then disappears in typical Montblanc fashion.

it absolutely does smell like the OG you thick idiot. If you mean it does not smell like the vintage OG then say so. I despise people who can't speak such an easy language. OG does not mean first iteration from the past, it means the original from the line, the only perfume who is not a flanker (Fahrenheit edt) from that line (Fahrenheit).

Guerlain vetiver is a fresh earthy natural smelly fragrance for men. It’s not hard to pull off for a young man. I find it easier to pull off than many sweet, fruity, lipsticky, homosexual designer frags that are commonly shilled here. Out of curiosity, what kind of frag is easy for a 30 year old white male from a small mid atlantic coastal town to wear? Common attire here are flannel and jeans.

It’s very sweet and vanillic. Guerlain Shalimar is unironically as masculine as it and Caron pour homme is way more dry and masculine. But I appreciate de baud and have a bottle myself.

Fahrenheit plays on hot and cold tones within it’s main structure, fusing a cool floral top with a warm woodsy middle, a base of green leather and tonka, plus that all-powerful X factor no other fragrance has, nor even can have, because the creation of Fahrenheit’s most characteristic quality was a total accident. Michael Almairac, Maurice Roger, and Jean-Louis Sieuzac were all competing perfumers working on primitives to win the bid fo the next masculine Dior fragrance, but none had their idea accepted by the design house, and tossed their samples all in the same waste barrel for disposal. As fate would have it, that barrel sat out in the sunlight for a while and fused together, essentially “cooking” into one, and when somebody returned to find the barrel still there, the smell that came off was evidently so captivating that Dior had chemists analyze a sample of it so the perfumers could form a new composition around it as the base! The infamous “barrel note” is really just leather and a strong violet at it’s core, which is the root cause for the petrol smell everyone comments on when they sniff the opening of Fahrenheit, but there’s a mish-mash of whatever else was in those original perfume formulas in there too, cooked up and reduced in a way only nature could, so it’s impossible to replicate without having the formula gleaned from the sample’s analysis. The rest of Fahrenheit is more or less the same late 80’s men’s floral ya-ya that everyone was doing right before the age of aquatics when calone and dihydromyrcenol took over as the chemistry du jour, and is one of few such floral powerhouses from the era still available.

The dragon is very gay, even in how he writes, similar to most of the faggots here. But at least the dragon is knowledgeable. Good find about Fahrenheit, I believe it. Here is gay dragons review or l’anarchist. He noted on the warm cool dichotomy here too.
>The opening of L'Anarchiste is a big blast of peppermint, almost at medicinal levels of menthol, with what feels like some camphor too. Anyone who's smelled Avon Windjammer (1968) or the "steel" component of the Avon Structured for Man (1969) vanity set knows what I mean. Bracing, cold, metallic, and masculine is this opening. Richard Fraysse softens this opening just a bit with mandarin and neroli, more so in the black bottle re-issue than in the original copper-color bottles according to the house itself, due to backlash over the original formula's opening; but the citrus and neroli is in both iterations. The heart of lavender, cinnamon and clove does remind me a bit of Le 3ème Homme (1985), Fraysse's previous masculine for Caron with Akiko Kamei, but the resemblance is fleeting once a dry pencil shavings cedar takes over. A sandalwood note (of some fashion), and white musk smooth out the dry down, while vetiver smoke also weaves in to darken the finish. The final aura of L'Anarchiste is cold, metallic, smokey, synthetic, brooding, but also with enough warmth and sweetness to project off skin rather than fade like the old colognes and aftershaves it models. L'Anarchiste is the anti-establisment robotic parody of the square-jawed clean-shaved slicked-hair white male paradigm of 1950's masculinity, or the band Devo in scent form. Wear time is about 6 hours so longevity is a tad sub-par, but you won't want for projection. Best use is basically whenever, because L'Anarchiste is too bizarre for contextual appropriateness. The minty personality also makes L'Anarchiste a poor winter companion, but the other three seasons seem to work well for the stuff.

Cont
> After the shake-up when Cattleya Finance (((Rothschilds))) bought Caron from Alès and (((IFRA))) cracked down on the house's failure to keep up with regulations (wouldn’t want men wearing masculine ingredients like oakmoss would you), the scent was pulled from their website, and since the Fraysse family was ousted in favor of Jean Jacques as house perfumer, who knows if there will be a round 3 for L'Anarchiste? If so, it will keep on being the black sheep of the men's stable during the Fraysse era at Caron; but L'Anarchiste still has to compete with Caron Yatagan (1976) for most-polarizing masculine fragrance the house has ever made. I like it, even if I'm in the minority here, so test your senses before testing your cash on a bottle. This stuff seems to have dried up in the aftermarket, although prices are not mega-dumb because L'Anarchiste is unpopular among hobbyists, so a sample to sate curiousity may be enough. Thumbs up.

It is bull shit. The International Fragrance Association (((IFRA))) is a self-regulatory body comprised of fragrance companies around the world. It aims to gatekeep who can sell fragrances, and to develop standards and regulations for the industry. The IFRA sets standards for the use of fragrance ingredients and provides guidelines to its members. The organization has the power to enforce its rules through its members, who agree to comply with its standards as a condition of membership. The (((IFRA))) sets standards for the use of fragrances in products, but they are not a regulatory body with the power to enforce their standards. Companies that do not comply with IFRA standards may face difficulty selling their products to customers or distributors who only want to work with products that meet these standards. However, the (((IFRA))) standards are not legally binding and companies may choose to disregard them if they so choose. The consequences of non-compliance would depend on the specific circumstances and may vary depending on the country and industry. For example, the (((European Union))), require that fragrances used in personal care and household products comply with IFRA standards. So basically the (((EU))) is cucking the whole industry.

YSL Y EdP has way too much synthetic apple for my taste. Not a good blue fragrance, the classic masculine blue base is overlayed by that sweet fruitiness and it's better suited to young people due to that.
BdC Parfum is really good and as basic as you can get. Not big on the iso-e super in the late drydown but if that stuff smells good to you it's worth testing at a store.
Sauvage takes the regular "blue" smell into a different direction. Proper slap of synthetic pepper in the opening which kinda of stays for a long time, together with that "ambroxan" accord Sauvage is known for.
Can't say anything about Dylan Blue. You should look into Invictus as well. It might be the most boring blue frag of them all, but it does smell good in a simple way.

Cool water has calone that instantly reminds me of the blue frags I wore in high school like azora chrome and polo sport. But I understand what you mean, the lavender and sandalwood keep it in fougere territory. It’s a great frag. Other modern blue frags that I really like asides from cw and aqva are Caron pour homme sport and leau. They have the ambergris that make it somewhat aquatic without using calone. I also have oud Minerale but even though I loved it at first I only like it now. There is a persistent chemical note that bothers me after a while.

Bro are you impersonating me? I just bought Ted Lapidus Pour Homme Sport too and was gonna buy Dunhill Icon next.

Tell me more about the Lapidus, I'm so damn eager to try it, some say it smells like a toilet cleaner (oh no), others say it's a geranium bomb (interesting), others that it's similar to kouros (oh nonono), or that it smells like the basic concept of cologne and clean laundry (yesss). This was the first frag that intrigued me when I got into fragrances. I opted to get Fahrenheit as my first and I'm happy I did, but I'm also happy I got around to grab this now. The bottle was what caught my eye too, just so good looking, love it. I have the OG TLPH, I like it although I wouldn't say I love it, definitely has the potency of toilet freshners, still an interesting frag that I sometimes use.

Also got a bottle of SUNG but I already know how it is, I shattered my previous bottle. Also got D&G Light Blue forever pour homme for my mum, low-key wish I never selected it for her and gave her a sample, I knew it was perfect for her. I cucked myself by making it my future mum's signature since I love it too, but it's a sacrifice I'm more than willing to make for her, luv you mommy.

Yes since sometimes the EDP with the same name has different notes and can smell very different.
But if you only want to count EDPs that are very similar or same notes as the original then idk, EDTs usually have lower longevity but better projection just because there's more alcohol than oil and the alcohol evaporates. Also EDTs tend to emphasize sharp and fresh notes better.

Luna rossa black is often compared to midnight in paris by van cleef though I have NO idea how people have not made that comparison with luna rossa extreme instead, since it's way closer to midnight in paris than LR black.
LR Black is amazing, though not everyone is going to like it because it has that really musky smell of like, fresh tennis balls. I love it and it's my signature desu.
LR carbon is like soapier more metallic sauvage. Personally I like sauvage more, but its not terrible and worth sampling if you kinda like sauvage.
Original luna rossa smells like musky orange soap. Not much to say but I like it as a dumb grab when I just want to smell like detergent.
LR Sport is similar to carbon in the sense that LR sport is basically le male but soapier. I prefer LR sport over le male but I love both pretty equally and le male comes off as more masculine.
Eau sport is just kinda a basic clean citrusy freshie that is pretty unremarkable desu.
As you could probably tell, the luna rossa line is pretty musk forward, aside from eau sport and carbon, and prada likes to make their perfumes (both male and female) pretty soapy and clean. It is one of my favorite lines and I highly recommend LR black, sport, and the OG luna rossa.

LR ocean is trash, not even sure what happened it just smells bad. other reviews have confirmed my opinion on it.

to me it doesn't give off the urinal cake accord. there's a bit of lemon in the opening but it's quite tame. it's primarily diffuse florals (very 70s/80s) and aquatics. some people won't like the aquatic notes but i think it's a good combination, rather unique too. calaj lilyn is similar but the tuberose makes it heavier. the aquatic in the lapidus is more like a lake on a calm summer day, not a rough nordic sea in autumn like heeley sel marin.
it's neither similar to tlph nor kouros. some say its similar to kouros fraicheur but i've never tried it. at the very least it's quite unique

This is my strat, I read reviews, buy whatever I think I'll like, if not I just hold and once it's discontinued and hard to find try to recoup the loss on ebay. There's always someone out there who wants THIS exact thing and if you have it listed just a bit higher than it cost when it was widely available, they'll pay it for a 95% full bottle.

A new german incense fragrance was released. It was on my watch list. Today parfumo added that it has beastmode performance.
Eukalyptus, incense, cedar, vetiver, patchouli = check.
I hope it will satisfy my need for a beastmode incense fragrance.

They gave me two free samples. Inito Psychedelic Love and Terroni Orto parisi. I wonder if there's a nose genius at the store that goes "this guy likes x so I'll send y and z samples just for him", or of they just have deals with these houses to promote their stuff.

City on fire is what I was most excited for alongside Acrasia. Burnt match note? Sounds really cool. First few seconds I really felt the match, but after that to be 100% honest it just smells a bit like cheese to me. Or maybe yeast. Kind of weird because I was really looking forward to this one. I have to try it on skin for an entire day one of these days. Didn't some anon in here really like this one? I'm not sure yet. It's not too strong though. Been smelling it for 5 minutes straight and now I can feel the match more and less cheese/yeast. Need to get back to this. It's different.

>>17481832
Keep in mind I'm using papers to sample, not skin. Also this one specifically comes in a titty capsule with a nipple. You don't spray it, you just break the tip off and it drips. I used one drop, so maybe a spray is more than that and the scent will be much stronger. Can't tell, but for me it's very inoffensive. No gagging. I mean people like Rien, so I don't know how this would be gag inducing. Not that they're the same thing, but you know what I mean. I wouldn't buy it at the end of the day anyways, but I can't say it's bad.

Ok you guys were big on Tauer. This one is very good I'd say. Not gothrock, but it's kinda manly for a fragrance of this type. There's a unique note in this I can't really put my finger on, even when reading the description. I can see someone calling it a bit soapy but I like it. Wouldn't buy, but if I got it as a gift I'm not complaining. I'd say it it's different from most others.

Finally BF Acrasia. Red wine and cinnamon? Very interesting. It really does smell like red whine. A woman might find it sexy, for me it's not that manly though. I wouldn't say it's soapy. It's still pretty unique and has that BF mystery to it. For the warmer months I'd still probably go for Fathom V. I'd gift this to a woman I like. I feel It's not very citrucy, but I feel like if the two cintrus notes were something else it would be top tier. I feel the flower notes more than the citrus regardless.

What does /fa think of perfume alternatives like roll on oils or solid colognes?
I personally prefer roll ons since they tend to last longer while having a less obnoxious throw. I also like that it gets stronger with sweat/body heat so it's like an adaptive defense against sweat smells. Big downside is that the only source for them is random people trying to mimic the top shelf frags, but I've actually found some diamonds. There was this small seller on etsy who used to make a spicebomb imitation that I actually preferred to the real thing.
With that in mind I've decided to give making my own oil a go, since I know what perfumes I like, it would be cool to make a signature scent that's unique to what you can buy.

the souk is a great place in general, i've never heard of someone getting scammed and i've bought over 50 samples there myself. prices for decants are usually much better than from online shops and it's the only way to sample rare stuff like ensar oud, sohrab and prin fragrances in general, discontinued scents, etc

I think I like LR black over extreme but extreme is still very good. It's basically a powdery, ambery version of luna rossa sport that replaces the fresh light florals and aromatics for a deep, dark (fantasy) and peppery profile. Very similar to the deep profile of midnight in paris but peppery-er.
