Mmmmm

>>17006337
OG Le Male isn't "outdated" either IMO
It's pretty modern smelling because of the sweet ambery vanilla and tonka base and there really aren't many good alternatives for it if you want this kind of sweetened fougere.

Burberry hero gets a lot of hate because it costs 100$.
But honestly the scent is so much better than blue fragrances. If this cost 50$ and had better performance it'd be an easy pick over blue frags.

Okay bros this oil perfume is called Bint El Sudan, known as the Chanel No 5 of africa for its enduring popularity.
I can only find bottles being sold by hodoo shops in the west, anyway somebody get a bottle and post about it pls. I'm to scared
https://africa-me.com/bint-el-sudan-a-fragrance-across-the-sands-of-time/
Here is the cheapest bottle i found (in the USA)
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1180798716/bintu-oil-perfume-bint-el-sudan
The company that makes it is owned by IFF which is one of the big flavoring companies so it should be safe unlike a lot of the cosmetics that come out of africa.

>>17006385
>If this cost 50$ and had better performance it'd be an easy pick over blue frags

>>17006496
I'm seeing pretty bad longevity and projection ratings for this one, which is in line with a bunch of Iso E bombs. Might be that like 50% of people don't really perceive it well, or at least grow noseblind to it before they can appreciate the drydown.

Guess I'll have someone else wear Iso E-heavy scents and only check on them after a couple of hours.

>>17006488
You can buy little bottles of perfume concentration iso e super from sellers on ebay, i will link a usa seller but there are ones in Europe too. It's just 25% iso e in perfumers alcohol.
This is essentially identical to molecule 1 because that's the only ingredient in it

I find artificial colouring in frags pretty tacky. The piss tone is the most natural and might just be its actual colour, although I'm sure lots of producers still use artificial colouring to achieve that degree of yellow, to trick people into believing there's more in the juice.

>>17006525
i liked the green color in eau noire, it fits the scent perfectly

Guys,

Are there any fragrances with real oud in it?

>>17006572
Yes but they aren't worth to money, fredric malle has some frag with real oud that costs about $650 a bottle, it probably has half a ml of real oud in it.
There are some small scale indy companies that make some, like Areej le Doré but again they dont use much.
Just buy some oud and wear it, promise it is plenty complex on it's own.
https://www.pureoudh.com/product-category/oils/
There are also some attar sellers on etsy that use it, again very pricey stuff.

Thanks for the links. Ill make sure to check them out.

>>17006690
I wouldn't get anything from L'Oreal brands if you care about performance, they water down their scents at random so you never know how they'll perform
it's also just a really generic and bog-standard blue fragrance. wear it if you want to smell okay but don't want to stand out, ever.

Literally in the last thread I told everyone that PE and Eau de Passion are NOT the fucking same. I found it for 10€ and was ready to order 10 bottles if it has been close in the drydown (don't care about the opening). It's not the same, people on the internet must have damaged noses. The performance is even worse, and that was with 40 sprays.
Don't bother with Eau de Passion.

>>17006221
Thanks for the update. I'm gonna buy all 7, if I don't already own them.

>>17006369
It's absolutely fine and still sells well. When it goes on sale, you can see a lot of posts about it on deal websites.

>>17006447
At that price point just get it yourself. I'm not in the US but I might search for a bottle of that stuff here.

>>17006476
To name something that hasn't been named already:
Adidas Active Bodies smells like taking a shower in the forest.
Paco Rabanne Pour Homme smells like lavender bar soap your grandma would own. I still like it for some reason.

>>17006768
>You rating the first 30 seconds of it or what?
No, I've tried it on once already, now's the second time. I do like the vetiver in this, it goes kind of grassy and hay-like on me, but I'm surprised by the amount of sweetness, I think I'm even getting vanilla.
Maybe it'll grow on me, but this sure isn't what I expected.

>>17006782
Gotta say that it's possible that I'm biased if it's vanilla, because I basically grew up wearing Le Male (half full bottle forgotten by the previous occupant of the hostel room). It's not that sweet to me anymore after years of Le Male.

I bought it a month ago and the reformulations have destroyed it. Duration of 2-3 hours. And I'm not exaggerating. Still smelling good

>>17006146
Say it with me: The natural and niche perfumery scene is a devastatingly accurate example of mindless consumerism of people who think what they buy makes them special. Natural perfumes cannot encompass the olfactory nuances that synthetics allow and are often touted by dishonest businessmen who often times ravage ecosystems in order to get their hands on these natural fragrant materials. The natural perfumery market is full of opportunists, aggressive marketing, and dishonest business practices like fake Fragrantica reviews and price inflation.
I will judge the quality of a fragrance based on its smell alone.
I will not fuss over synthetic vs. natural ingredients because it simply does not matter.
I will not fuss over niche. vs. designer vs. masstige because it simply does not matter.
Natural perfumes are not investments. Their value is about the same as any other bottle of perfume, except when marketing drives prices up.
By reciting this, I am henceforth declaring myself to be a reasonable, well-informed consumer who will make wise financial and aesthetic decisions.

>>17006165

Can't say, I'm still looking. I am very much thinking about getting Armaf Legasi just to see if it's actually close to PE, but I'm not sure it will be after the disappointment that was Eau de Passion. I will probably go through the list of similar fragrances and then hope for something good.
For other fresh fougeres, there's still much I hope to be able to sample. I still recommend Cool Water, just because everybody can just test it at every store. I have an interview later, so I'm wearing New York Intense today, which is also very good, but probably a bit divisive.

Don't use a frag at the gym unless it's post workout and post shower, and then keep it something fresh and light.
>>17007881
Temperature changes, humidity changes and light are the fastest and surest ways to fuck up a fragrance. Leave one in the car and you'll get all three. If you need to carry a frag with you then get a cheap atomizer. And if you absolutely have to have a full bottle for daily use with you in the car then keep it in its original box and put it in the glove box or something to keep it cool and dry. That'll keep it good for a little while, at least. But you're better off just using an atomizer instead.

Not yet. I have ESP and ESE is on my "to test"-list. I think there might have been none of it at any store around. Will try to cop a sample (testers aren't really sold in Germany). I'm currently compiling a list of stuff to sample next, anyway. The current Eau Sauvage didn't convince me, though, mostly due to lacking performance (unacceptable at that price point).

I only buy from parfumo from verified sellers with lots of comments and points.
So far I’ve not been scammed yet (only by postal service smashing my samples)

ordered some samples from fragrantworldshop and they all showed up yesterday.
took about 1.5 months to ship within Europe when the expected shipping time was way less, and they ghosted me when I asked about the shipping details a couple of weeks ago.
Probably won't order from them again, but the samples themselves were fine once they got here.

At first I was disappointed, but lately been enjoying it more as an understated office fragrance. Has a similar appeal to eccentric molecules.

>>17008328
Nah, that's just me and maybe 1 or 2 other people.

>>17008337
I bought my new bottle for 79,20€ when it was on sale. It was from parfumdreams.de and they charge 5€shipping to Denmark. So you paid slightly above retail, if you're willing to wait for a sale in Germany. Price is probably acceptable if you don't speak German, though.

Yes.

are pheromone fragrances a meme?
I want something that genuinely smells like a woman's natural body odor.
I want my brain chemicals to start firing off and my cock to grow instantly erect with a single whiff.

No, the fragrances are somewhat nice niche frags, some can be a bit polarizing. They contain many natural ingredients. I would recommend getting the sample set, its price is also counted towards the purchase of a full bottle, in case you like any of them.

Alexandria Frags are the shit boyos.

If you'd bothered to read the reply chain instead of instantly seething over the fact that a fragrance you own got dissed you'd see that the problem isn't its popularity but rather the fact that it smells bad. It's vomit-inducing.

the truth is that women will like almost any fragrance an attractive man wears and they won't like your douchy ass even if you douse yourself in sauvage and eros

I haven't tried that one. I do want to try Oud Minerale though, I guess that one anon's shilling worked on me. A truly marine scent with no generic citrus aquatic vibe sounds great.

Could see it working a summer evening for a calm person just taking a walk around the city.

You guys ever have someone say, or read, that a fragrance smells "like X" which then ruined the scent for you because you're now aware of it? Which?

>>17006158
Is there a good American site where I could get a set of samples with a bunch of the center fragrances in this infographic? The list in the OP is primarily European, and I'm not sure how to judge the repute of online shops.
Basically, I just want to try one or two from each category and go from there.

Curious if anyone can help me pinpoint what is so awful to these scents. I recently got ~30 samples and would like to avoid anything similar. Of course I have looked at the notes but I also feel like I can never smell or identify most of the notes listed in 90% of frags. Never had the coof afaik.

>Lyric Man (Amouage)
horrible at first but becomes laundry detergent/air freshener. So irritating to my nose I had to scrub it off after 2 hours. Was sent Man when I ordered woman.

>Cheeky Smile (JUSBOX)
absolutely horrible. worst frag I have ever smlled. I would rather walk around with piss on me. All synthetic, harsh, like sticking your nose in freshly sprayed alcohol but for over 8 hours. Tried to scrub off the SINGLE spray on my wrist twice at sink throughout day, and it remained, had to wait to scrub 3 times in the shower to remove. Gave my bf a headache. NOTHING like this on fragrantica, so I dunno if my sample was just bad. It was a manufacturer vial with cutesy packaging.

>Arabians Tonka (Montale)
Is it the rose I hate in all of these? way too prominent and has a weird alcoholic smell that never chills out, much like the cheeky smile but not as acrid

>Roses Vanille (Mancera)
again such a strong smell, great projection and long-lasting, but it just isn't pleasant enough for the strength to be a good thing. Doesn't smell like vanilla at all, just floral and citronella-y

Also, can someone redpill me on the hate for xerjoff here? I only got a vial of the Tommy Iommi one and it was the absolute best out of all the samples in like every way.
ALSO sorry for the megapost but Rouge Smoking by BDK was a close second, but I wasn't a huge fan of the first few hours. The drydown was the best sweet, sensual, addictive vanilla scent. If anyone has smelled it and can point me to something that smells that way all the time I'd be grateful.

>>17009377

There's a couple from Demeter that supposedly do, Rain and Petrichor, but Demeter frags are notorious for having terrible performance.
There are Le Labo Baie 19 and Byredo Gypsy Water that some people say have a petrichor smell to them. And Narciso Rodriguez for Him edt is said to smell like the concrete after a rain but unfortunately it's been discontinued.

just dont over do it with the sprays if using a heavier, warmer fragrance.

>>17010473
>why tf is this called a "fougere" when there's barely any floral in it aside from lavender
"fougere" doesn't mean floral, it means "fern". fougeres are green herbal scents with prominent lavender
you could try The Dreamer if you want a more floral fougere at a similar pricepoint

>>17010492
Yeah i don't get a "green" note from it. Lavender, soap and leather are the only things i can smell.
I know they removed oakmoss so maybe that's why?

It's really not that bad, I revisited DN recently and was utterly delighted with it. You have to get over your attitude conditioned by repros of this formula and recognize it for the elegant concoction it is.
It's always a hazard with older frags, people are inclined to say "this is soapy!!" or "this smells like a urinal cake!" when really so many soaps and hygienic products were shoddy repros of this, unfortunately lending that impression on the OG for the future.
If you can get over it, there's a wealth of old frags that are absolutely solid and not too pricey either.

I order most of my samples from Essenza Nobile, but there are other website. You can also check parfumo.de, on the "souk" people are selling samples (and slightly used bottles they want to get rid off).

>>17010825
Gotta say that among my first larger sampling rounds which weren't store tested I also ordered two MDCI frags and one of them was pretty much full bottle worthy (Chypre Palatin). Those are some good fragrances.

>>17010853
Even the "faux-niche" fragrances are in that price range. 250€ for Aventus nowadays. Fragrances have hit the mainstream and it has increased demand and ruined prices.
