something citrusy, which is pretty standard for male spring/summer scents. bonus for you, they are rarely over-assertive in their masculinity

Bleu de Chanel and Terre d'Hermes are good starting points to try. Also, YSL L'Homme, but that one is pretty generic imo.

The best thing to do is to go to a department store or a Sephora, etc., and sample a bunch of shit, even unisex and women's fragrances (stay away from the cloyingly sweet women's perfumes though; no one pulls those off well, women included)

Just got a small haul of samples, mainly to test out the new CdG fragrances:

Serpentine: Very similar to the musk power house of their self-titled EdP; but the galbanum and other green accords really seems to transport the scent to a softer, more vegetal version, a moves it away from the super synthetic, toner ink, package tape smelling qualities their self-titled EdP had. It's also highly reminiscent of CdG 3, without the luscious Sandalwood, and again, has more focus on green notes. Actually, maybe it's a bit too similar to CdG 3. All in all, it's beautiful cooler summer fragrance.

Wisteria Hysteria: Soapy, florally, and somewhat musky. A very well-rounded, but ultimately very feminine fragrance. If you enjoy wisteria, and want a slightly warmer take on it, you'll really enjoy this one. Quite seductive, to be honest.

Lumiere Blanche by Olfactive Studios: This one piqued my interest when I smelled it about a year and a half ago. Decided to revisit it, and it's grown on me more than before. It's a cooler gourmand, and completely appropriate for summer weather (unlike most of its similarly classified siblings). If you like milky vanilla and sweet almonds, this one is probably for you. It's more of a transparent fragrance, than overtly cloying, so it seems to be intended for more intimate interaction between people.

Thinking of copping Wonderwood by Comme des Garcons. I have never really used cologne or anything like it in my life. I'd like to get something rather subtle. I haven't smelled the wonderwood yet, so I really have no idea what it is like. I like the smell of wood though. Am I completely off?

[Anonymous No.8324933]

>>8324859
Wonderwood is pretty cloying. It's also very spicy, and woody (obv). It's much better suited for late fall + winter seasons, but it's also fairly polarizing. You need to be pretty comfortable with the scent and yourself to wear it.

If you want something more subtle, look into "transparent" scents/fragrances. Either way, it's good to test out samples to get to know the notes you're smelling, and to intimately test potential fragrances. A lot of these aren't super cheap, so you don't want to blind buy, or buy without testing *on your skin* for at least a full day or longer.

No, Le Labo just dropped the genders from their labels. Their web site doesn't list them anymore either, though if you read the descriptions, some have references to it being a male or female scent.

Not that it matters too much. Virtually all of their stuff qualifies as unisex to begin with, and "gendering" when it comes to fragrances is pointless.

What's a good bergamonte fragrance?
Preferably not some patrician $$$ cologne.

[Anonymous No.8336927]

>>8336510
Le Labo Bergamote 22 is honestly the best, though I can understand not wanting to pay $160 for 1.7 oz.

Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto di Calabria is also great and ~$100 for 2.5 oz. A bit weak on the longevity, as to be expected from AdP.

cheaper options,
Mugler Cologne by Thierry Mugler
Eau Universelle from L'Occitane (it's an eau de cologne though, as opposed to the eau de parfum of the Le Labo and the eau de toilettes of the AdP and Theirry Mugler, so it's longevity is practically nonexistent, but you get 10 oz. for like ~$60)

Awesome, thanks.

How obscure are most of these? Could I go to a department store or a fragrance shop and try most of these out?

[/fa/scist faggot !!ovdI0id3NeK No.8336989]

Widely available; hardest to find would be Le Labo, but every Barney's has it.

CB I Hate Perfume
Etat Libre d'Orange
Comptoir Sud Pacifique (not really "out there" though)

are fragrance houses that are bit more experimental/conceptual

stuff by escentric molecules for minimalist fragrances

Fragrance (and beauty in general) isn't a very "avant garde" industry because you make your profits by selling large volumes. You have older perfumery houses that sell more expensive formulations, but there's aren't nearly as manly straight up "experimental" fragrances in the same vein as you'd find in clothing. CdG is a notable exception as are lines like Six Scents, Etat Libre d'Orange, and Blood Concept, but given that most perfumes are the products of large corporations like L'Oreal and Coty, it's just not as feasible to produce tiny, niche weirdo scents.

[Anonymous No.8339115]

Gonna need more than that to go on.

What kind of fragrance do you want? I assume you mean Terre d'Hermes as Hermes has a whole bunch of scents, so you have citrus covered.

[Croat !DDtUn0s9ZQ No.8339924]

>>8334052
I agree with that.
It has weak projection and longevity tho' but it's great summer fragnance.
Also women always tell me I smell great when I wear that shit.

Trussardi Uomo is based for night.

Well, if you have any suggestions for other fragrances/names, I'd love to hear it. Still trying to build up a slightly larger collection and those were the ones that I personally liked.

[Anonymous No.8341019]

not that anon, but my favorite fragrance houses are Le Labo, Byredo, L'Artisan, and Frederic Malle

[Anonymous No.8341480]

Cool, got something to check out now. Anything you'd recommend from any of those houses, maybe something for summer and/or winter? One caveat: I can't stand anything that's overly sweet smelling.

[Anonymous No.8341882]

I've been wondering lately

Cologne works best when mixed with your body's natural oils, right? That's how you get a longer duration of scent from a given amount

What if you sprayed your favorite scent moderately in your bed? Then you'd be rolling in it all night, pretty much taking a 5-8 hour scent bath

Is this stupid,and if so, why?

[Anonymous No.8341917]

i wear this during the summer

[Anonymous No.8341918]

>>8341882
cologne has such a high alcohol content that it dries almost immediately and clings to whatever surface it was applied to. the scent wouldn't transfer well.

that being said, i find that it's best to apply cologne to clothes/hair rather than the skin. after the alcohol dries, the scent stays in the fabric much better than it'd stay on skin.

also, you should be taking a shower before you leave the house in the morning anyway. the best way to smell good is to smell clean.

[Anonymous No.8341929]

>>8341882
bad. you're just going to waste a lot of cologne if you do it.

[Anonymous No.8341944]

What's the best way to scent your hair? You can't just spray it on or the alcohol will dry it up, right?

[Anonymous No.8341973]

>>8341944
spraying alcohol on oil will not make the oil evaporate, just the alcohol. that being said, getting alcohol on your SCALP is generally a bad idea. you'll get the best result from spraying far away only on the top and working your hands through it to distribute it better.

it'll really only have a noticeable scent if you have long hair, though. i'd recommend using pleasantly-scented hair product instead.

[Anonymous No.8342002]

>>8341973
Ah, okay. I do have long hair so scents really stay in it. Unfortunately this means my conditioner leaves a strong smell in there, and while it isn't a bad smell, it'd rather have a cohesive one instead of separate smells for my hair and the rest of me.

[Anonymous No.8342976]

>>8341820
Chanel no. 19 or Prada Infusion d'Iris would be worth looking into

[Anonymous No.8343851]

>>8341882
because the fragrance will quickly dry and only stick to the sheets

but i'd still recommend spraying your sheets with a perfume before bed just because it's relaxing and smells good

what do you guys think of Grey Vetiver as an office perfume?
