>inb4 do we need 9001 /frag/ threads?
no, this is the only one we need but the others (Jeremy and Dior Homo) can stay as pleb filters

>SOTD: Rogue Derviche
so good, (to my nose) very similar to Tauer Sundowner, this is more flowery and less boozy imo, fall/winter general and year-round night frag, probably too much for the office
decided to buy this as Tauer doesn't offer 30ml bottles and i already have the 5ml small version of Sundowner

Where would you get 2ml sample of a Byredo fragrance for free? Even on Parfumo you are going to be paying 5€ with 2€ delivery and for a CLEAN also 4€..

And then you have to contact like 8 different sellers and if you are lucky, a seller may have 2 fragrances that you want so you save on delivery.

Sure you could save some money, but it's not really worth the time and effort. I would rather spend that time shitposting here.

You tried 5 decants and after finishing them all, you decided that you liked them so much that you buy 5 full bottles at the same time, and it's a coincidence that they would look good together in a photo due to symmetry and you like them so much that you use them in rotation at work.

the aesthetics of the bottle is unironically important to me. I'll think twice about buying an ugly bottle.

Not really a cologne related scent but Jesus Christ this shit smells like ambrosia of the gods. I don't know what ingredients or extracts they used to make it smell that way, not even the lotion from yardley under the same name. but it's good enough for me to have considered taking a bite out of a bar of soap.

Theres few other things that smell like it, but it reminds me of these almond bearclaws my grandmotber would bring me from this rustic artisinal bakery.

I wish there was a whey protein powder that tasted like this shit smells.

Is there a name for this fragrance? Or a certain compound that makes things smell so almondy? Any perfumes that use this?

>>17935543
To each their own, not gonna shit on you for liking what you like. I wholly agree designers make amazing scents, but generally speaking there are just some things you can’t get without branching out a little. I will also say you def hit on some of the most expensive niche houses, niche isn't /always/ synonymous with expensive. Rogue is a perfect, beautiful example.

>>17935551
Ahhh, see, unfortunately my tastes do tend to run towards cold weather frags, as do a lot of the suggestions here. Off the top of my head the only thing that comes to mind is Bohemian Lime by Goldfield and Banks. And it is by -no- means niche if you’re in Europe, but if you’re in the US Hermes is practically niche because it’s so scarcely sourced except online, and so I would suggest Eau Givree.

>>17935658
When I first started I mostly used fragrantica, and it was okay, then I eventually started checking Parfumo as well. Generally speaking, when using both, you don’t need much else as far as I’m concerned.

Fragrantica has much better descriptions for individual notes, and even when it doesn’t always list the notes correctly, Parfumo picks up the slack.
Parfumo is better for the accord, season, occasion, day/night, and masc/fem breakdown as well as their brief “This scent is a genre/genre fragrance”. I also give their rating for scent and sillage a slight edge over Fragrantica.
When it comes to reviews, both can be hit or miss, but I’m not sure if you can get away from that anywhere. You just gotta avoid Parfumos asinine creative writing reviewers, that’s honestly my only big gripe with the site aside from the fact their individual note descriptions is pretty lacking.

No, those two when used in tandem cover the bases.

This is very warm, comforting, motherly and inoffensive. It reminds me vaguely of very clean toilets in the best way possible, specifically the women’s toilets at work (which I used today because my dear colleague was shitting).

It’s pretty good for what it is, a „your skin but better scent“, not going to buy a bottle because I can see myself overspraying because it doesn’t last long.

Now I have a taste for fragrances that remind me of clean toilets, I will definitely have to try out Kouros soon.

what? spicy? with all due respect, I question your nose if you think it smells spicy.. It smells very creamy to me to me, especially with the white flower notes.

Maybe its the Yuzu and Hexyl acetate fruity note that makes it "spicy" for you, but I associate these things with wetness especially in the context of a very prominent milk middle note, which is also wet...

minimum 20 sprays of a fragrance makes it work regardles of anything

But on a serious note just spraying more for light frags in winter and less for heavy ones in summer works just fine and I can't speak about what women can and can't wear since I don't interact with them

Aventus.

It is a chypre.

For a non /s answer, try Les Indemodables - Chypre Azural. A tad too herbaceous (as in kitchen spice herbaceous) for me, but very good quality.

Fragbros, have you ever bought a frag more for the bottle than the actual juice?

I really kind of want ~something~ from the Azzaro Most Wanted line because the bottle is cool
>fuck you I don’t care
The tonic version is pretty much all around crap as far as the scent is concerned, but easily looks the coolest with its neon blue juice, but The Most Wanted Parfum version actually smells decent but is rather redundant in my collection.
Thoughts?

I'm quite tired of sweet spicy frags.
At the same time, I don't like animalics, green herbal/mossy frags or "old school" fougeres and chypres.
I'm looking for something that's attractive and refined but diverges from typical sweet shit, ambroxan blue frags and whatnot
I liked Imagination by LV a lot but it's way too expensive. I was also recommended Oud Minerale (which apparently is coming back in 2024), is it good?

No I'm pretty it was my shitty fragrance (which I hate btw) which played a bigger factor.

That's more believable than she gave me her number because I have silky smooth arm skin. Women are much more sensitive sense of smell than men, they are essentially cats.

Second anon is totally right. I’m actually just wrapping up going through their discovery set, and even though most of them are probably mid, it’s worth the experience.

If you just refuse to buy the full set, I’d say the noteworthy ones are
>Fat Electrician
>Clean Suede AKA Tom of Finland
>Ghost in the Shell
>Exit the King
>I Am Trash
>Rien / Rien Incense

Both Exit the King and I Am Trash are not to my taste -at all- but if you’re into fruity floral you’ll like them. >>17938861 Marquis may be some to good people, it’s pungent like Rien, smoky, but in a dirty… animalic sense to my nose.
>You or Someone Like You
Is also supposed to be pretty good, and smells exactly like described, minty chlorophyll, but chlorophyll just doesn’t smell good to me. An anon suggested trying it again in the summer, and so I will.
