skip edb and jazz club (good tobacco frags are really pricy, cheap ones rely too much on either overcloying sweetness or have no lasting power)
tv is good, other good choices are amouage royal tobacco, montabaco rio by ormonde, and fumerie turque

narciso rodriguez bleu noir edt. edp is a little less masculine if you prefer
mugler alien man but its a bit too generic, dark woodsy pepper
theres also CH bad boy cobalt which is not dark but kinda fits your description, a pleasing goyslop but still great desu
maybe try tom fords ~noir stuff
encre noire is not alluring nor sexy at all but fits the rest

[Anonymous No.17896128]

>>17896101
These mostly sound animalic right? I kinda like Noir but I find it really hard to wear because it has quite a vintage vibe so I'm not sure if I'd like other similar frags
>>17896117
EDB is recommended all the time here which is why I mentioned it and everyone seems to cream themselves over jazz club for some reason, but I'll keep your advice in mind. Thanks for the recs, I did try Montabaco intensivo by ormonde but found the tobacco too cold and kinda "ashy" if that makes sense? Very realistic but not my thing, I prefer rich and warm tobacco to literally cigarettes

I got Not a Perfume, Superdose last week, and I’m a big fan. Didn’t have any strong feelings about the regular Not a Perfume—skin musk scents usually aren’t musky enough for me, and it was one of those cases.
I’d say it’s like a wet forest type of smell with strong balsam and amber notes; in some ways it is similar to Neandertal Dark, but has far fewer layers of complexity. It’s effective as a simple but dark/heavy fragrance, with very good longevity and sillage.

Discounters are buying perfume from other countries where it is sold for less and selling it to you for slightly more, which is still less than what you would pay at a big box store. It's called the grey market. I believe Ash goes over it at some point here.

Neither of those are really niche in the traditional sense.

L'occitane is a cosmetics / beauty store that also makes perfumes. Hermes is very much a designer house, just an independent one that tries to differentiate itself from the others and be more elitist. that's why their fragrances follow a clear house style instead of the more trend-focused approach of most designers nowadays

I personally think the whole niche vs designer distinction is silly and overvalues "niche" brands that make very mainstream perfumes for a mass audience, while undervaluing some designer houses

yeah prada l'homme is like dior homme original but with all the good stuff replaced with powdery soap
too bad, because I think the bottle is great

Both are versatile unless it very hot. Very different and for homosexuals according to this board. Dior hommo is resinous woody and musky and Prada lhommo is soapy and clean. I liked Dior very much and worn it to university last autumn and winter. Imo Dior>Prada since its a more bearable version of homosexual because prada shills are one of the worst kinds of people you'll meet pretending like they know shit about smelly water

[Anonymous No.17899246]

Why the fuck do people shill this, it's neither 'noir', nor 'extreme'. It just smells like a mid tier bittersweet liqueur, it's not even a particularly masculine scent. Talk about false advertising damn

Gotcha, in hind sight I suppose my perception of “designer” scents is stuff you can find in a Macy’s, and being in the US Hermes and l’Occitane are not widely carried. Actually only one niche store I’ve seen carrying Hermes, and none carrying Occitane perfumes, so I mentally lump them in with niche.

[Anonymous No.17899257]

>>17899246
it's more of a woody scent with resins

yeah Hermes in Europe can be found in every Sephora, so they are very much sold like a classic designer brand over here. tend to be slightly cheaper than Dior at discounters as well from what I've seen

Not being another vanilla spicy tobacco amber powdery oud (ironically) is good enough in my book.

what am i in for? just blind bought because I love vanilla + benzoin.

[Anonymous No.17899464]

>>17899458
that's what you get. slightly boozy vanilla, benzoin and rose with an opening of pink pepper. it smells nice. very unisex

[Anonymous No.17899487]

>>17899464
nice, can’t wait. I’ve heard it’s masculine, but based on the note breakdown I figured it would be unisex. Thanks man.

it is up there with my most loved mint frags, next to a menthe fraiche. shame the longevity is so low

[Anonymous No.17899504]

exactly this plus a good dose of tangerine in the opening. It is a pleasant frag.

So do I cop Reflection Man for 230 or no?

[Anonymous No.17899511]

>>17899508
one of my all time favorites, absolute masterpiece if you are into floral/laundry style frags. Don’t know if it’s worth that price tag for me personally though due to longevity and projection, it is somewhat subtle after 2-3 hours.

may have just been my tester, I got a 2ml and it lasted about 5-6 hours for me until it turns into a skin scent. For the price, that is just not worth it to me personally but again it’s top 5 for me of all time. Absolute masterpiece of a fragrance.

reading my notes about it, it says: only an old man (like myself) would wear this

[Anonymous No.17899589]

>>17899554
It’s a mature frag, but it’s also quite modern in comparison to typical “old man” frags. I’d say anyone 27+ can pull it off.
