[Anonymous No.17651593]

>>17651586
I wouldn't say it's powdery. it's basically a fresh rose scent (much like the roses you'd buy from a flower shop, not like rose jam or rosewater) with some spices and a base of creamy sandalwood. quite a nice scent, much more accessible than the normal Declaration I think

Which scent for a Goth Club?

typical clubing frags i know are to fruity and normie for this kind of club.

Typical "dark" stuff i know is to heavy for a crowded and Hot place

[Anonymous No.17651670]

>>17651660
Terror & Magnificence or A City on Fire. Other Beaufort London fragrances are pretty goth too. Like Coeur or Rake. People say Hermann A Mes Cotes Me Paraissait Une Ombre but I haven't tried it yet. Don't be cringe by wearing a leather fragrance. Also I'm not sure what you're calling a goth club, because these days it's only leather and BDSM fetishists, industrial faggots, or electronic music drug addicts.

[Anonymous No.17651688]

>>17651660
clubs are the perfect space to wear heavy fragrances though. could go for Oud Wood if you want something lighter, but I'd go for something with leather. Ombre Leather or Dior Homme Parfum
I guess you could go for Encre Noire a l'Extreme if you want to come off as more austere and less sensual

>>17651895
yep it's really boring. I guess the appeal was that it doesn't last half an hour like the original ADG does nowadays

Based OP. IMO Drakkar Noir is the best fougere created, it's green, clean, slightly soapy, got some shaving foam scent going on.
Heard that Gucci Nobile is in the same ballpark but denser and more oomph. But the prices are fucking hilarious.

My JPG Le Male EDT has a dick's measure of perfume left so I panic bought Le Beau EDP. Did I do good? I liked the smell at the store and was looking for a more sweeter and summery smell than Le Male. The bottle's still in the mail but the the salesperson gave me a tester to use in the meantime and I still like it. Also seems highly regarded on Fragrantica.

[Anonymous No.17651941]

I haven't smelled the EDP. if it's anything like the EDT though, it will smell nothing like Le Male
Blue Jeans is more of a summer alternative to Le Male to my nose

[Anonymous No.17651964]

>>17651941
Informal situations are what it'll be mostly used at, so in that sense I made a good choice. Summer nights at outdoor clubs with a collared shirt with top buttons undone, etc.

>>17651944
I think the EDP is close to the EDT but more "mature". I liked the EDT as well though, it's quite sweet. Neither EDT or EDP smell nothing like Le Male but I'm long overdue for a change and was excited to try something new.

You are sad, your lives are sad, no one in the real world cares about your fragrance collection's exclusivity and they try and exit conversations with you as fast as possible.

I’ve been meaning to pull the trigger on some Fougere samples, but I mostly wear scent to smell good to other people, so I’ve held back. Not sure what the zoomettes will think of classic ’80s vibes haha
That said, I have one of those goofy plastic bottles of Brut “cologne” from the drugstore, and that shit smells so good to me. Cannot explain why, but it’s just got a vibe to it. I go noseblind really easily, so idk how good the performance is, but the scent is really fun while I notice it.

Brut is a type of rather powdery fougere, while Drakkar/CW/GIT/BdJ work in a different direction. The latter ones are all great (and so is Brut), but they aren't like Brut.

>How's that hilarious?
because culturally and artistically speaking, sauvage is total trash. it’s a literal sugar bomb designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator, and it’s not even original at it. at least bleu de chanel pioneered blue ambroxan bombs, and you could probably say its aromatic fougere equivalent could be paco rabanne or azzaro pour homme, both of which are rightfully revered as masterpieces in their genre. the idea of sauvage (and therefore drakkar noir) being treated similarly is completely antithetical to their lack of originality and the kind of crowds they attract to begin with, like trying to compare rachmaninoff to tchaikovsky.
>Once the Sauvage craze blows over and people move onto the next thing, it will just be treated like Drakkar Noir
my point exactly. the way people in this thread treat drakkar noir today is exactly how people will treat sauvage in 2060, which is a funny but inevitable twist of fate. in the distant future, “mature” men will wear sauvage to remind women in their 20s and 30s of their fathers (assuming someone who wears sauvage would even stick around), which is damn hilarious.

except you continue to ignore the fact that drakkar noir is one of the best fougeres ever while sauvage is insufferable and only becomes worse as they launch more and more concentrated versions of it. the whole "reminds me of dad" meme about DN is coming from art hoes on reddit, men who actually wear it nowadays do so because it's a good scent with an olfactory profile that doesn't exist in modern fragrances

also, drakkar noir is terrible as a classical fougere, it only really becomes relevant in a discussion about aromatic fougeres, where the likes of jicky, fougere royale and grey flannel aren’t around to totally overshadow a mediocre flanker with a really good name.

That literally means nothing? What do you mean by "culturally" - a mass marketed crowdpleaser by a designer house that was intended to be mass marketed, like almost every designer ever? Artistically, it's fine. It perfectly does what it was intended to do. There was nothing that smelled like it before (and no, it's not close to Bleu, at all), so it's absolutely original enough as well.
Your entire ramblings appear to be nothing but the product of personal hatred towards a specific fragrance, devoid of any actual analysis of the fragrance.

>What do you mean by "culturally" - a mass marketed crowdpleaser by a designer house that was intended to be mass marketed, like almost every designer ever?
no, i mean the culture around the kind people who wear the fragrance, and therefore the public image and personality the fragrance takes on through its wearers. should be pretty self-explanatory with that context in mind.
>Artistically, it's fine. It perfectly does what it was intended to do. There was nothing that smelled like it before (and no, it's not close to Bleu, at all), so it's absolutely original enough as well.
drakkar noir doesn’t smell close to azzaro pour homme either, but both are fundamentally aromatic fougeres and both have the same forms at their core structure. jicky doesn’t smell anything like fougere royale, but again they’re both classical fougeres, and jicky wouldn’t exist without fougere royale. bleu and sauvage are exactly the same, and without bleu sauvage (and arguably every other ambroxan bomb) wouldn’t exist.
>Your entire ramblings appear to be nothing but the product of personal hatred towards a specific fragrance, devoid of any actual analysis of the fragrance.
i can hate the culture and artistic prevalence of something without that affecting my opinion of the actual thing in question. cool water has been run into the ground through endless copying and iteration which totally destroys the culture surrounding it, but i still like and wear cool water.

>>17652956
just because bleu doesn’t focus as much on ambroxans as sauvage doesn’t mean it isn’t the original ambroxan bomb. it’s like arguing that jicky isn’t a fougere because the emphasis is more on synthetic vanilla mixtures (including coumarin) and less on lavender.

So yeah it's pretty great as you said, but to be honest why would anyone ever get this? To be fair the mint is really top tier and how mint should smell like, and the other notes do a good job of making it more interesting and not just minty, but at the end of the day it's similar to just chewing orbit gum. I guess it's the best mint fragrance I've ever tried if anyone is into hat. For the Summer I'd definitely go for Hermann though. That's the only reason I got the discovery set anyways. I just can't tell if I should put it in the top tier in the excel yet, because I need to try it for an entire day on skin. People are saying that it's allegedly goth and what a vampire would smell like I suppose. It's the rare fresh and floral fragrance I like. Thankfully it doesn't have any citrus to ruin it. God I hate citrus.

Sous Le Pont Mirabeau is ok I guess. I have nothing to say really. It's very average. Definitely not made for me. The fig note is well implemented I guess if you want that.

Specific questions aside, got some general questions too.
Context - I’m a 28 year old white dude, pretty tall, slim build. Looking for stuff that won’t come off like a teenager desperately trying to seem cool, but also won’t be something that a 45 year old lawyer would wear.
I’m looking to get a more real rotation going, ideally frags that are mass-appealing, but also won’t be the exact same thing that every other dude is wearing this month.
The only real ones I have atm are:
>Voyage
Wear this to the beach/park/etc and a couple sprays at the gym, not much to say here. I like better than VPH, haven’t tried many other freshies
>Eros Flame
Genuinely like this, might be too juvenile. Much better than regular Eros. my friend says it smells like Burt Reynolds, which I took as a compliment, but idk if it was meant that way lmao
>Drakkar
Liked it, not sure if it got great reactions, but I was depressed and chubby the last time I wore it.
>CK Shock
Bought on a whim because $8, kinda odd. Smells like chocolate covered cherries to me, so idk when I’d wear it.
>Brut
Can’t explain why I like this, but it’s good as hell. When and where is this appropriate, and will I smell like a grandpa? Any alternatives that perform better, or do I need to just slap more on every 2 hours?
I know I need to lurk moar and buy samples, but some direction on what samples to try first would be appreciated.

Performance isn’t great, and you have to shake it into your hand and slap it on your neck because there’s no atomizer, but I find it oddly compelling.
Not sure when or where I’d wear this as a 28 year old white dude, or if it’d even remotely appeal to 22-32 year old women. But, it makes me feel like Burt Reynolds, which is hilarious.

I have to, but then you'll see an equal number of people saying the original is fine.
All I can offer is my own experience and an observation on consumer habits. First, I've sampled both and the original performed better as confirmed by people around me. They also preferred the smell by a decent margin.
Second, think of how dumb the average consumer is and how driven they are to BUY NEW THING. Would it surprise you to learn that influencers would shill the intense version as being better than the original with the companies knowledge and blessing to do so? People that like the original will continue to do so. People on the fence will now have a reason to buy the new one. And the influencer looks less like a company shill if they try and make it look like a companies old product isn't as good anymore.

SOTD: Quorum
This one is very interesting. Starts off with a strong blast of citrus, a sour and mildly sweet scent that immediately screams "masculine frag". As the opening dissipates, it settles down to a dark green scent, aromatic and kind of bitter, that smells exactly like how the bottle looks in a way. I'd say it's borderline musty, definitely evocative of its age. Typical fougere notes poke through the dark green cloud but not too strongly, and either I'm going noseblind or the projection is rather disappointing.
But to my surprise, after a couple hours, the scent opens up to reveal much more brightness and clean soapy sweetness, like a flower that spreads its leaves and blooms. There's a bit of musk and spices in the base, as well as a calming tobacco note, like when you smell a good quality cigar right before smoking it. I seriously didn't expect this to have this much complexity.
The performance still seems to be less than great but I can always just spray more and start the complex process of this scent's development once again. This is probably gonna become my favorite office frag and it's ridiculously cheap.

I also tried the sample of Polo OG I bought along with this, and just like with Dakar and Lord earlier, I'm much less pleased with that one. Feel like it deserves one more chance.

Because they don't smell like one thing literally and exactly, and if they're one note dominant, it's a note than makes sense. Like women back in the day before perfumes walking around with a rose or some other flower braided in their hair. And ombre leather is literally just leather. It's trash. There are so many great fragrances with leather notes in them that don't make you smell like a leather factory you can choose from. If you choose ombre leather you're a drooling retard.

Obviously not, dumb single digit IQ retard, but it comes with it.

I've smelled many more fragrances than you, and I can say with confidence that if you choose ombre leather over any other balanced fragrance with a leather note in it, you are literal ape. You're clearly too used to your reddit hugbox and have never faced any criticism in your entire life. The moment someone challenges your NPC worldview, your brain gives out an error. You have zero arguments and you've continued to ignore everything I've told you and resorted to seething because it made you mad.

Reminder that before I go outside I spray myself with Hermann and then put on my suede shirt and leather jacket.

If someone doesn't share the same taste as you, you're not obliged to sperg out at them. You're free to ignore it or have a normal conversation without projections or ad hominem.

the only thing wrong with leather is that some nutcase ITT has an autistic hang-up about it and he doesn't even really know why (or at least I haven't managed to discern an actual reason from all the lines of agressive schizo babble)
as you can see, there are lots of leather fragrances in both of the charts, so it's not like they're unpopular in this thread
just ignore and report any spam

the fact that people here find some unremarkable tom ford crap compelling enough to argue over at all says more about the state of the thread than anything else

the funniest thing is I'm >>17654488 and at least 3 different anons have responded to the retard schizo since that post asking why he's so mad and he thinks it's all just me
as we speak he's probably imagining me smelling like grass even though there is none growing inside my apartment and punching his furniture in unhinged autistic rage LMAO
