Why would someone buy Green Irish Tweed when pic related exists for 1/10 the price?
>>17167591Because they don't smell as much alike as some review sites might suggest.
>>17167591it lasts for 1/10th the time
what sort of outfit would suit issey miyake l'eau d'issey?
>>17167591because they’re nouveau riche and tacky
>>17167695Is this a new meme where /fa/ calls every fragrance gay?
>>17167715no, retards have been doing this for years
>>17167603They smell 90% alike.The opening is almost the same.
>>17167695Nigga you gay if you have these kinds of pictures saved on your computer.
>>17167591Wearing 10 sprays of CW right now. Nobody would see the difference with GiT.
>>17167715imagine wearing a frag because you like it and not because it's part of some pick up artist technique you read about online
>>17167749Yes and I wear Dior homme
>>17167777Bullshit, I own CW and GIT and it definitely smells different
>>17167808kek this nigga trying to justify his purchase
why would anybody own a bottle of creed knowing that they're majority owned by jewish company blackrock?
>>17167811It was a gift lmao
>>17167817i like the smell
>>17167838i like the smell of a lot of things that don't cost $350 for 100ml and aren't owned by jewish speculators
>>17167808Yeah sure, after the 5th hour lmao.
>>17167817>>17167846Aventus is unique and those who say otherwise are just coping.
>>17167850
>>17167817Roughly half my ETFs are from BlackRock, so personally, I don't care. I don't buy Creed because I consider it overpriced. Caron is owned by the Rothschilds, yet I still buy that stuff.Maybe it's because I'm simply not anti-semitic.
>>17167853lol
>>17167857t. STOP NOTICING THINGS
>>17167857
Got a sample of Ombre Leather on the way. If I don't like it I'll fill half of it with piss and just spray it about the supermarket
>>17167875>>17167878wat?
>>17167883Call it "Cuir de Kouros Intense".
>>17167857>I'm simply not anti-semitic.you should be
>>17167846Creed has to be the worst value out of any frags
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de2sRg6h99s
>>17167896creed and roja
>>17167924>>17167896roja is #1 in the overpriced category by far. the tacky bottles and being made by an unethical clown only makes matters worse
>>17167857>Caron is owned by RothschildsThat’s why you only buy vintage Caron. >>17167875>>17167878>>17167895Based
>>17167896What are some high value/cost frags? I think Guerlain tops that chat
>>17167522All of you reading this are nothing but a group of drooling fucking retards. Like living in the retard group home level stupid. This has to be the most worthless general on any website and it is 100% due to the infestation of retards. Anyone who says otherwise is a fucking liar or too stupid to do anything other than drool on himself and laugh when the handler has to see his boner when they change his adult diaper. How stupid is that? Just look in the mirror. That’s you. The stupid asshole asking stupid asshole questions. Or it’s you. The stupid asshole giving the same stupid asshole answers. You are all worthless retarded pieces of shit.
>>17167928why is he an unethical clown?

>first time getting a cologne>tell the lady I just want to smell like oranges>well, the only citrus profiles I have are mont blanc blood orange>sure I'll try it>she's clearly pissed about something>in a hurry, i have something pretty important to get to soon anyway, which is why i wanted to get a cologne>drop $100 on iti obviously don't know shit about dick when it comes to this kind of thing, did they bend me over that counter? this kinda just smells like a typical fuckboy cologne to me.
>>17168010idiot nigger
>>17168010also to add to the previous message: next time u want to smell like oranges just cop Azemour Les Orangers by parfum d'empire, it's the best orange frag around
>>17167619That korean fuck boy look with the loose brown cordorys and an oversized white linen shirt
>>17167591Because they don't know about aspen
Some samplers, how did I do?Whats your favourite here?
>>17167939The only frags that have a formula cost thats even half of their price is indy natural perfumers. And most of those are shit or a ripoof anyways
Can anyone tell me if applying this before my fragrance will extend the duration of it? Or is it a total meme?
>>17168033>Jerkoff
>>17168049Sort of, its more that you will have a base light musk from the iso e super that will last for ages. But lots of people go noseblind to it so it's hard to say if you will be able to smell it all day. But yeah iso e super lasts.Putting some unscented lotion on when you get out of the shower on all the places you will spray your frag and that will help it last longer. Just put on some unscented lotion something like aveno or lubriderm, wait till it drys then apply your frag.
>>17168001>knocks off guerlain frags, releases them for 20x the price>changed his name from "roger bird" to "roja dove" to appear more mysterious and marketable>deceptive influencer marketing>nearly Creed levels of bullshit around the brand
>>17168033>Those disgusting nails
>>17168010Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune is the best "I literally just want to smell like hyperrealistic citrus" fragrance out there
>>17168059I have a lung illness and have clubbed finger a bit, also cut my nails with a nailclippers everyday
>>17167939>>17168040Obviously composition and quality of ingredient fall under the value category.
What does Antaeus smell as?
>>17168088Similar to Bois imperial
>>17168088hard to describe, it's a pretty complex and balanced scent. it smells like a vampire though all in all
>>17168023I actually ordered a sample of this last night. Have high hopes for this one.>>17168061That's more or less what I want, so I'll definitely give this a go.
>>17168088You gotta sniff it, i wear it all the time and can't desribe it worth shitOpens with a blast of castoreum, middle is rose carnation and generally dark feeling, base is a really luxurious musk thst lasts ages on skin.It smells expensive
>>17168023I love the opening. best citrus in the game, but when it dries down to the hay type notes its a little less spectacular, then its pretty much gone in 2 hours
>>17168065KWAB
Ive been trying perfumes to get one for my mom and they're all so shit compared to mens fragrances. Everything from niche to Chanel/mugler/dior/ysl/Chloe. its all way too floral or sweet and they all smell cheap to me for some reason like bath and body works garbage.
>>17168142just buy her Shalimar or Samsara already
don’t listen to anyone recommending fragrances released before 2010
>>17168179>1 Million>released in 2008Your post is objectively wrong.
To the people who had hope that I'd quickly get my Sung Homme bottle problem solved, it ain't the case. I'm now going through with PayPal buyer protection because the seller wasn't cooperative, despite delivering a defective bottle. All I wanted was those 13.46 € back.
Am I a crazy noselet or does the opening on The Dreamer smell a bit similar to Cool Water or maybe Tres Nuit?
>>17167850You mean the another exactly frag for 10/100 the price Montblanc Explorer?
>>17167883I doubt you can piss out such a small amount of piss to fill merely half a sample vial with piss. You should just piss on the floor while spraying the sample.
>>17167238>>17167344Thanks for the recs, lads. I'll look into them as soon as I get the chance. Also here's the sauce for Gio, my man.https://twitter.com/sekushimhttps://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=5628909
>>17168377Terre d'hermes.
>>17168387>>17168352I’m a dumbass for fucking this up twice but thanks anyway
OK, trying this one more time. I’m posting from >>17168189 and would like frag recs. I need something mature and non-chemical. Sweet frags don’t fit me, but it’s hard to find something with spices and/or musk that don’t wreak of chemicals (I have an extremely sensitive sense of smell and most everything smells cheap to me). Again, I’d prefer a tobacco/cigar type smell.
>>17168396*reakfantastic, I enjoy phone posting.
>>17168396Jazz Club by Martin MargielaTobacco Vanille by Tom FordSpicebomb Extreme by Viktor&RolfThe One EDP by Dolce&Gabanna A*Men Pure Havane by MuglerRed Tobacco by Mancera
>>17168396Chopard Oud Malaki, although it is slightly sweet.BeauFort London Iron Duke, although it is slightly sweet, too.All other tobacco frags are sweet as hell.>>17168405Those are all sweet as hell.
What's your SOTD?
>>17168417Estee Youth Dew
>>17168396Guerlain Vetiver is definitely mature and does feature tobacco. dru to the bone with no sweetness, not much in the way of spices either though. grey vetiver is a more modern equivalent with a bit of spice but no tobacco, and terre d'hermes is one with a lot of spice, but also more sweetnesstom ford for men could work too now that I think about it, it does have perceptible tobacco and spices while not being sweet and ks very classy and mature. underrated frag
>>17168405Are not most of those honey/vanilla smelling? Dolce & Gabana smells like sweet farts.>>17168413Thank you for the recs, gonna see if I can find samples for these.
>>17168396Jasmin et Cigarette
>>17167591Sorry, wrong pic.
What was the last frag you couldn't stop sniffing off the atomizer, /frag/?
>>17167883It’s my go to scent unless I’m at work. Hopefully you’ll like it. If you like fragrances with premium leather smell+jasmine+patchouli+White moss+amber then you’ll like it. Shit lasts forever too
Never used any type of perfume or cologne, but keep seeing ads for this little solid fragrance box. Figure it's like chapstick for your neck, but anybody have experience with solids? Are they generally worth it?
>>17168417Im wearing versace l'homme actuallyFantastic musky soapy frag, just dirty enough to not be boring
>>17168440They are usually a very intimate fragrance that wears very close to the skin, very personal, don't expect anyone else to smell them unless they are leaning in to your neck.
>>17168417Finna bout to blast some kouros for slow pitch havent showered for a couple day and have been cycling everywhere so it should mesh nicely
>>17168439it's nice but dior homme parfum is still the best designer floral leather desu. seems much more complex and well balanced to me. it does veer more gourmand though, ombre leather is probably the best choice for a straightforward in your face leather considering that it's half the price of tuscan leather
>>17168445Oh neat that's actually good to know, cheers.Figured they were a meme.
>>17168437Bois Impérial
>>17168448>Kouros,>GanymedeBased greek phylosophy enjoyer
>>17168452>Figured they were a meme.Solid perfumes actually have a history going back to Victorian times and there was a lot of ornate solid perfume boxes that women would carry around so they could dab some throughout the day when they felt the need. It's an interesting history if you care about that sort of thing. The modern versions usually arent anything fancy but thats fine.
>>17168437DG The One EDPSmells like sex
>>17168088The smell of greatness.
>>17168417AdP Colonia Club
>>17168417sotd: wanted by night>>17168437stronger with you intensely
>>17168396New York intense by Nicolai.
>>17168417La Nuit de L'Homme Bleu Electrique.Perfect for that 30°C weather.>>17168437I still like to sniff that New York Intense cap and did so recently.
>>171675912 weeks ago i bought 2005 Lancaster batch and today i finally compared it with current formulation in a store, and the vintage is much better blended and more natural whereas new version has a grainy "texture" it's almost like a gravel and less pleasant, but surprisingly looks like new cool water has better longevitybut if something resembles GIT, it would be lancaster
>>17168396Guerlain vetiver plus 1
>>17168425are you a male (male)? if so, based>>17168437gres cabochard, maybe because i moved to a different address recently and some of my frags are still in a box>>17167619i wore it with skyblue button shirt, dark blue jeans and white converse and was comfy>>17168088definitely herbal and dated but it's not a plea>>17168154this, i bought my mom samsara for christmas, i didn't know the scent, just checked notes on fragrantica and ordered it because i remember she hates patchouli, so expected samsara to be a good shotand she likes it>>17168417mugler cologne, but later in the day i also used eau de rochas femme, alas most of freshies disappear quickly
>>17168497Or how about a bottle of Green Irish Fucking Tweed? Are you all children with zero income?
>>17168512instead of 1 bottle that costs i don't know, 200 bucks i'd rather buy 6 bottles for the same cashmore dopamine
>>17168512I'm not going to pay niche prices for a brand that got bought out by some soulless conglomerate that immediately raised prices and slashed formula budgets after the acquisition.
Poor people excuses. No yous for broke bitches with tiny peeny weenies not able to scrounge up a couple hundred dollars
>>17168437Bois Imperial.My essential perfumes discovery set arrived today and I wore Bois Imperial. It turns out the hype is justified. It’s not what I suspected, in fact it’s even better. I now somehow doubt if the psycho who shills Bois Imperial has even tried it because it smells completely different to his description. I thinks he just gets his kicks getting people to buy the fragrance.So at the beginning it smelled really strong like some shaving cream, very astringent and refreshing. In the drydown, it developed into something that I can’t describe because I’m a noselet but it is very nice und fuzzy. I think the fragrance is so hyped because it smells so strange but at the same time, it is very inoffensive. It’s for people who want to stand out but at the same time fit in. It’s very versatile. I’m looking forward to trying out the other fragrances and I will definitely buy a bottle of Bois Imperial, H24 and ghost in Shell and rotate them as my signature scent.So thank you guys who have been shilling the fragrance/that one psycho who is pretending to be different people.
>>17168417Hattric classic aftershave. Germanons, is there anything else like it?
>>17168550Sounds pretty gay. Way to go for buying into the hype you low iq nigger
>>17168554Malbert man, marbert homme, marbert gentlemanRead up and decide which is best for you, there is at least one American guy importing them and selling on ebay.
>>17168550A candy-colored clown they call the schitzoTiptoes to my room every nightJust to shill Bisch frags and to whisperGo to sleep, everything is alrightI close my eyes then I drift awayInto the magic night, I softly sayA silent prayer like dreamers doThen I fall asleep to dream my dreams of youIn dreams I walk with youIn dreams I talk to youIn dreams you're mine all of the timeWe're together in dreams, in dreams
>>17168452they are a meme. for retards.
>>17168550How does it compare to h24?
Rate my notino order. After the 15% off discount the total comes to £335 ($406).
>>17168592EmbarrassingKeep jazz club and la nuit de homme and start over, in fast there is really no reason to buy 5 100ml bottles at the same time
>>17168592do you guys unironically like eros or it's just a bad dream
>>17168592Just skip all that junk and get bois imperial
>>17168600i think its just a meme, nobody i know actually likes that stuff, it´s so bad don´t even bother
>>17168562Danke friend.
>>17168557Firstly, no. If my essay sounds gay to you, then you are gay for thinking gay thoughts, which is completely okay. Secondly, I’m a high IQ white German man. Thirdly, there’s nothing wrong with giving into the hype. Sometimes things have Hype for a reason, just because something is really popular doesn’t make it less good. I suspect you are just jealous that you don’t have the disposable income to buy nice things on a whim.>>17168583I can’t say it’s better or worse, it’s different. They are both in the same category of smelling good and unique compared to mainstream blue fragrances but still being extremely versatile to wear to work with an good silliage and performance without offending anybody.
>>17168592Are you blindbuying?
>>17168634Is it true that the german language had 100 different words for cum? I am going to fuck your mother in the name of social progress and I want you to record it as a solemn reminder of the holocaust. Alright?
>>17168562They all sound nice, marbert homme seems most similar to Hattric classic. I’m going to Germany soon, will I find this at the Apotheke?
>>17168651You need to calm down and take a good hard look at yourself. Ask yourself where your anger comes from and work on a way of controlling your emotions because at the end of the day, you are holding on to a hot stone with the intent to hurt somebody, but you are only hurting yourself...I unironically suggest you try Bois Imperial and maybe read a book about Mindfullness or something.
>>17167857> 2022> not anti-semeticExplain??
>>17168663Germany should never have been rebuilt after WW2 and the only reason it was done was because of the Cold War. Your nation exists because America wanted it to exist. Every German should come with a “made in America” sticker. And you’re so fucking arrogant as a people it’s pathetic. You’re a conquered nation. Continuously occupied by foreign powers since the 40s. And you know I’m 100% correct. I’m not saying I’m going to fuck your mother out of anger. I’m saying it because you are German, and there’s nothing you would ever do about it. Other than be a faggot.
>>17168437Valentino uomo intense.
>>17168550You made me decide to get the sample set, this better not be a waste of 14 euros
>>17168417jean patou ma liberte
>>17168592It's fine as long as you really enjoy them. If however, you blind bought them... let's just say you'll be somewhat disappointed.
>>17168763Not him but Spicebomb is actually good
>>17168771I'm not arguing on whether any of them are good or bad. You should only spend that kind of money on things you've tried and really like. Buying full bottles of common frags you haven't even tried is a sure way to feel regret as soon as that dopamine rush wears off.
>>17168658>I’m going to Germany soon, will I find this at the Apotheke?You should
>>17168592pointless waste of money
>>17168296I think I'm crazy then lol.
What’s a good fragrance for a passing pixie faced MTF who wants to larp as a classic 90s short haired tomboy?Post theme: https://youtu.be/VV1XWJN3nJo
I bought Acqua Di Gio Absolu and it's actually pretty good. Kinda boring up close but in the air it's wonderful. Doesn't smell anything like ADG which is a plus.
>>17168897Are you kidding? Bois Imperial
>>17168437Prada Midnight Train and Prada Dark Light when I dropped by the Prada boutique near me. Spicy boozy smoky patchouli and musky myrrh and amber respectively. Gonna cop both by the end of the year. I'm very pleasantly surprised that Prada's exclusive line doesn't fucking suck like the current formulations of their entry level frags.
I have Allure Homme Sport EDT and I really like itShould I check out the rest of the fragrance line or is there too much redundancy?
>>17168417Jo Malone wood sage&seasalt for the warm weather
>>17169035I tried these in duty free and they're actually very good
>>17169059Just check out fragrances.
Does penhaligons frags ever go on sale?Their sample kit arriwed yesterday, and i already want a full bottle of constantinople and luna, but my god they are pricey. Does anyone have experience with getting em cheaper?
Help me finish my bag /fg/What do i cop to snap free shipping?>cool water?>the dreamer?>S U N G?
>>17169224The dreamer, it is very hit or miss though. Some people love it, some hate it. No matter what though, it looks nice, it is Versace and its cheap
>>17169224Bentley Momentum Intense
>>17169224Bois Impérial
>>17169224ch prive
>>17169059Cologne is one of the best modern takes on classic citrus colognes imo. Eau Extreme is overpriced with an OD of shitty vanilla over the smell of AHS. The OG smells completely different darker and sweeter with peach. The hype behind Blanche I don’t get at all. It’s totally boring lemon and vanilla and it’s gone in an hour.>>17168550I really expected to hate it because I had a negative connotation from the guy trolling about it/autist shilling it. For the first few months of shilling, I thought it was a complete meme and didn’t realize people actually like it.
>>17167853>>17167846>>17167817You are suffering from utter olfactory incompetence if you think Explorer and Aventus smell similar beyond the first whiff of the top note, and even then there's a difference. The dry down of Explorer has none of the depth found in Aventus, and smells like every other boring synthetic woods/ambroxan base designer. Funniest part is that Explorer is the best Aventus clone, Hacivat, CDNIM, and all the others are even cheaper smelling. Either you are trolling or have outed yourself as not being able to judge the quality of fragrances. Is it worth the money? Yes, because it gatekeeps broke noselet plebs like you.
>>17169209Did you look on ebay or check discounters?
>>17169224Sung
>>17168550How do you get shaving cream from it? Is this fragrantica, where everything is a shaving cream or barbershop frag? It's all woods with some basil at the start for me.>>17168554The drydown of Platinum Egoiste is still close enough for me. I've found nothing which is 1:1 yet.>>17168562Ordered Marbert Homme for 8.49€. Never heard about it, but it sounds great.>>17168592Not for me. La Nuit de L'Homme is great, but has always been kind of weak (and L'Oreal probably didn't make it better). Eros is horrible, Cedrat Boise is too synthetic-sweet. Jazz Club just wasn't for me, but my gf likes it. Spicebomb Extreme has been diluted by L'Oreal, at least the stuff I have.>>17168658Best chance would be a Müller drugstore. They stock Marbert products, but I don't know if they stock that one specifically. I usually go there to test cheapies/aftershaves.>>17169035It's because L'Oreal currently does that with their entire portfolio. Dilute the designers, bring out exclusive lines, ramp up to niche prices. Armani Prive, Mugler Les Exceptions, Prada Olfactories, etc. I'm sending bottles back by the droves for poor performance, all L'Oreal.>>17169224If you've never smelled CW, CW. It's a "must smell" just to get the scent memory and see(/smell) it reappear everywhere. Personally, I'd say CW > Sung > The Dreamer.
>>17169338>Ordered Marbert Homme for 8.49€.Fuck me, the only guy selling them in the us is asking $40 a bottle. Did you order the current version in a clear or dark glass rectangular bottle or the old version in a tall black bottle with an integrated sprayer?Anyway looking forward to seeing your thoughts on it
>>17169325Yep, there are very few discounters that i've found. I live in EU, so that makes it harder. The once i did find, had either worse prices, or not the right volume frags. I've checked ebay and our national ebay kind of website, and they have a few for sale, but you only save like 2 euro at max
>>17169359Current version. Should arrive on Saturday. Local Müller drugstore doesn't have it stocked, so I can't just go there to test it, but just from the notes and reviews it appears to be something I might like.
redpill me on fragrance youtubers, who can I trust and who are the shills? they all seem slimy
>>17169415Fragrances are subjective, you can have 10 youtubers say that a frag smells amazing, and is a perfect fit for your age group, gender and style, but then absolutely hate it when you blind buy it. Watch them for fun and recommendation, but always test any frags that they are recommending before blind buying it.
>>17169415This is the only one worth watchingEveryone else is a retard or a shill or bothhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=UET9mRNCikY
>>17169035Got a bottle of miracle of the rose for $50 at 98% full. Its nice.
>>17169415the smaller youtubers are generally more trustworthy. ramsey and wafts from the loft are probably the bestmr smelly and the perfume guy make ok content too, but they might do a little shilling, idk. and gent's scents has been outspoken about shilling, but he's a little annoying and makes too many "le top 10 epic beastmode pantydroppers"
>work at perfume store in mall>for some reason believes PdM is pure parfum oil with no alcohol.
>>17169464my experience from working in a clothing store, museum kiosk and so in, is that employees are selling so many different items, that are constantly going in and out of stock, so they almost know less than the customers. Sure we know a good bit about popular items but we certainly bullshit a lot, especially when there are no supervisors working.

>>17169495do you talk too much in real life too?
>>17169505the opposite. Please, add which statement made you seethe, our experts will gladly assist you asap.
>>17169508i agreed with almost every single statement, others i have no prior knowledge to form an opinion on.
>>17169495>recommends The One as a non-sweet tobacco fraglmao, embarassing takes as always, greg1998come back in a year when you've sniffed more than like 20 frags
>>17169509thanks for the gold kind stranger>>17169512I have sniffed 90% of the average Douglas store over countless sampling sessions, the power of my autism is unmatched.You are my #1 fan <3
>>17169517are you also a crybaby in real life?
>>17169518how did you get that from my posts? Is this projecting?
>>17169520Your need to respond to everything, give your opinions on everything and reacting with childish sarcasm. I am totally indifferent to you, just stating what i see
>>17169524it's even more hilarious because he bases his opinions on briefly smelling things at a store once, has mostly tried generic designer stuff, owns 6 frags (mostly random cheapies and sauvage, probably no decants) and yet he thinks he is an expert whose opinion is of value to anyoneperfect example of the dunning-kruger effect
>>17168897you will never be a woman
>>17169524I responded to 9 posts out of more than 160, I didn't post anything ITT other than that. I reply to topics that interest me/I know something about. you are mad my opinions don't match yours and that's okay. you are so indifferent to me that you need to "state what you see" and keep replying, exactly what you accuse me of in the first part of your post, but go off.>>17169531You can't try anything but designers in physical stores, and I'm not interested in buying decants of niche frags I can't afford to buy yet. I never said I am an expert, but as much as you are entitled to like your frags, I can say your frags smells like shit to me. No amount of expensive niche frags decants will change the fact that you smell like piss wearing Antaeus bro, give up. I don't need a degree to tell if something smells good or like shit. Anyone can do it.And I sample the same frags over and over, both on paper and myself.
>>17169554What are your thoughts of Guerlain frags? Particularly Guerlain vetiver.
>>17169338Thanks, I’ll check mueller drugstores next month. Any other places I should check out? I’ll be in Berlin. Also give your take on Marbert when you get it. I’ll also give platinum egoiste a try, but these cheap German colognes/aftershaves are hard to beat.
>>17169561I just started trying Guerlain frags. I am not much impressed so far. I tried L'homme ideal edt and intense, not a fan. Might need to retry them. I came across vetiver only a few days ago at an airport. It didn't smell old to me, but I wasn't blown away either. Maybe I just don't like vetiver. I couldn't try it out correctly though, they had no paper strips and I already had frags on me, I had to smell it from the air and sprayer.What are considered the best of the best from the l'homme ideal line? It's the only one I consistently find in every frag store. Still not sure what the hype is about, the ones I tried all seem to smell very light and soft, not really my thing.
>>17168634>German>high IQstopped reading there. Don't you have some more cultural enrichment to participate in, "Hans"?
>>17168592literally all bad to me and I have a normie nose LOL Cedrat Boise is the cheapest most nauseating smelling shit ever. I dont know how anyone likes Mancera garbage.
>>17169415best thing to do is just to binge read reviews on parfumo/basenotes then use fragrantica as a database to find shit. most reviewers on YouTube are fags, overly verbose, shills, or just pumping out shit content to try and make money because no one watches their videos
>>17169571>I tried L'homme ideal edt and intenseLOL
>>17167939Essential Parfums are high up there imo
>>17168033>JerkoffJesus, we came back in a full circle from the masstige drama. Perhaps we should start unironically reposting his chart as a warning for others
>>17168550For me it was the only /frag/ blind buy that worked. Yesterday this arthoe friend of mine wrote me on insta “btw you smelled amazing and I can still smell you in my clothes” after I hugged her. Feels good man
>>17169564If you dress moderately well, you might be able to check believably check out some frags at the KaDeWe. They have a "popular niche" frag selection and might have test bottles. Of course, everything is overpriced and so are these frags, but you might be able to smell something new for free.dm and Rossmann stores might have more aftershave-type cheapies, but Müller is usually better for testing them (more open bottles). There are probably a million Douglas stores in Berlin, so you could check those out if you want to sniff stuff.Other than that, I have no Berlin-specific input.
>>17168694Im trying to help you but appear to be very mentally unstable. Why are you so angry anon? I’m not annoyed by you, just mildly entertained and curious about what made you this way. Have you considered getting help? Do you even like fragrances? What is your opinion on Bois Imperial?
>>17169608> to check believably check out*to believably check outAnyway, there will be a million badly dressed tourists trying to sniff 400€ frags, very obviously looking like they can't afford it. Just gotta look better than them.
>>17169338Yes this wood basil fragrance makes me think of some shaving creme, I now use unscented shaving gel.
>>17169602Yeah, Bois Imperial is really that good. It got many layers of of enjoyment, blended by an outstanding perfumer, Mr. Bisch.It starts with freshly crushed peppercorns, immediately a fresh cut wood accord complementing the pepper note. There's still an underlying freshness, which makes the overall DNA addicting. The breathtaking, fresh and interesting concocting will turn slighty earthy, which makes it different to many fragrance, but at the same time enjoyable.
>>17169591useful commentary>>17169602screenshot or never happened
>>17168437Boss Number One
Recently discovered that i love frags that smell like lime or lemon, what are the best cheapie frags that smell like lime or lemon?
>>17168417Eau Sauvage. Can't go wrong with that.
>>17169624Here you go. I translated the screencap and erased the irrelevant part
>>17167522armani stronger with you edt vs freeze ?
>>17167853explorer is like the more anemic retarded version of aventus. kekw
>>17169633Neroli Intense is lemon + neroli
>>17169642i bought that frag when i saw some suggestions on here. It smells like shit.
>>17168536>t. low iq waiter busting his first wage check
>>17169620BI doesn't "turn" any direction, it loses the basil note and that's it (or the "peppercorn" note, but it's still closer to basil to me). Not really a complex fragrance.You need to like woody frags to like, and by woody I mean straight-up nothing but 2x4s. Zero positive feedback combined with my personal dislike made me shelve this frag forever.
>>17168592if you like to burn money for no reason
>>17169517Jesus Christ anon.. the people at your Douglas must know you as „that guy“.normal people just use these testers to see if they like the opening and if they like it, they will try it out on their skin in store/order a decant online. They just make a mental note on what fragrance they like/dislike lmaoI see the value of buying Fragrance from places like Douglas because it allows people to try out fragrances for free and that makes up for the mark-up that you pay.
>>17169661KEK. I used to work at sephora. There was always 'that guy' with his 20 sample testers. it was a such a cringe fest because we know he wasn't going to buy anything
>>17169650you're just ugly and everyones afraid to compliment you because they know you're a rapist
>>17169633goldfield and banks bohemian lime
>>17169635Ok I think I’m gonna cop 10ml travel spray. At best I’m gonna get an arthoe gf too at worst waste a dinner-worth money.
>>17169672If that would be true, it would be true for all of my fragrances, right?
>>17169633Guerlain imperiale Guerlain leau boissee
>>17169608Danke fren
>>17169571The ideal line is the only line I don’t like from them. Interesting tk hear that they’re pushing it so hard. I recommend the classics, heritage, vetiver, and habit rouge. The beauty of the classics is how much they develop from start to finish. You wont see the beauty from spraying and smelling it in air. From there, the L’instant and homme line are good for modern frags.
>>17169650agreed, just a linear woody frag, like a more stripped down terre d'hermes without the citrus or something. not bad but I don't really get the hype. none of the people I asked about it were impressed either
>>17169611As a German, you lawfully cannot restrict my sexual access to your women. Do I need to notify the authorities about your racist stance when it comes to foreigners busting thick loads down your mother’s throat? Give me her address and her phone number and any nudes you have of her.
What fragrance has gotten you the most sincere unsolicited complements? Be aware that when normies say you smell good, it could be their way of saying “hey I recognise that you are wearing perfume”.
>>17169280cope
>>17169747>Be aware that when normies say you smell good, it could be their way of saying “hey I recognise that you are wearing perfume”.
https://youtu.be/GwDCYYhq3LwIt’s official lads, the hype is real because this man says so.
>>17169747>Be aware that when normies say you smell good, it could be their way of saying “hey I recognise that you are wearing perfume”.this is true, and a big part of why compliments don't really mean anythingthat being said, I've gotten the most unsolicited compliments on terre d'hermes probably. it's pretty strong and not actively unpleasant, which is all that matters for getting le epic compliments
>>17169755sauvage smells great,the only problem is that everyone uses it. It gets nauseating. its more for grocery shopping these days
>>17169767I also can confirm that Sauvage smells good because I am a giga chad with a hot Stacy girlfriend and not a neck beard.
>>17169767It’s neither as good nor as bad as people make it out to be. Price value isn’t terrible if you get it on sale, projection and performance are above average I’d say. It’s a scent that 99% of people will find pleasant and, surprisingly, it’s the only one that got me actual complements. The only note that gets really sickening after a while is ambra.>you smell it everywhereNo, you fucking don’t. I don’t know people exaggerate this issue so much, but if you really think about it, how many times throughout the day can you actually notice people wearing perfume? Sure, if you go out clubbing you might get a whiff or two but I’m a university student in Germany and I promise you the only thing you’ll smell (no matter the season) is the occasional axe oversprayer or Stacey who bathed in whatever cheapie was on sale at the drugstore. OCASIONALLY you’ll notice someone wearing a frag that’s not utter garbage but that might as well be the odd rich kid who got Bleu de Chanel from their dad >tl;dr buy it if it’s on sale
>>17169802>I don’t know people exaggerate this issue so much, but if you really think about it>germans >don't use fragsgerms don't count,they are mindless drones but i sure as hell smell the sauvage DNA almost everywere,maybe other cheap brands copy-pasted the thing who knows
>>17169808I like Germans. They’re alright, even though they think they speak English better than they actually do.
>>17169808I've traveled through most of Europe, big cities, and rural areas, and spent two years on the US west coast, as well as one semester in Vancouver and it is pretty much the same thing. This sub often forgets that fragrances are still a niche interest and the majority of people will never experience anything else besides 10 dollar aftershave or 4711 colognes.>>17169818German arrogance is pretty common but at least we make an effort at learning several languages, at least, unlike other nations across the pond
>>17169826Like I said, I like them. I’m fluent in german but my german is still worse than the average under 30 german. But it still cracks me up when Germans use words like handy for cell phone or remember for remind etc.
>>17169808It's certainly being copied already. I was at the barber the other day, and while he was cutting my hair, I got hit by the synthetic pepper note of the Sauvage EdT quite a few times. After shaving my neck, he used "Novon Classic Barber Cologne Smoked Pine" (splashed on hands with some other stuff, probably balm) and rubbed it on. I immediately realized that that was where the smell is from - his hands, and now my neck.Now I'm not sure if it was the cologne or the other stuff he added, but it was the Sauvage EdT opening for sure. It might be possible that I was already noseblind to the other smells that usually linger in an actual barbershop and that it actually smells different, but if you'd ask me, I'd say it's Sauvage-inspired and contains a lot of similarities.So expect this to be the "20's barbershop" DNA in fragrantica reviews in 20 years.
>>17169831Yeah, there are a lot of lexicological difficulties in foreign language learning when it comes to English. My favorite is "to become" as in "to receive" since in "bekommen" means just that in German.
How come it is basically a rule that if your cologne comes in a blue bottle it is shit
Bulgari Wood essence vs. Chanel Pour Monsieur ?
>>17169868haven't tried the Bulgari, but Pour Monsieur has shit performance
GUESS THE FRAGRANCE:Intentionally misleading fragrantica crops editionNO GOOGLING!This one should be easy mode.
>>17169883Sauvage Elixir?
>>17169883>>17169890Gonna second elixir even though the comments are wild. If it’s elixir, the guy who can’t distinguish it from the regular Sauvage is either trolling or has an aneurism that’s about to blow up.
>>17169876It's not that terrible, but it isn't a loud fragrance.
>>17169890not if someones comparing it to eau sausage
>>17169661>paying out your ass because they let you try fragsLmao. This all american mentality that you owe anything to soulless big corps is so funny.Imagine how much I care some wagecuck qties think I am autistic, you sound insecure for worrying so much about how people that are irrelevant in your life think of you. >>17169669That's literally me. What's cringe is that you would feel bad for someone being smarter than your usual NPC "can you recommend me something? *tries BDC* smells okay (it doesn't) ill buy it for 40 bucks more than its price online thank you"-type costumer.And remember wagie, the costumer is always right :^)))))
>>17169669this is why I buy them online and return them to test. yeah they throw it away. fuck you
>>17169714Alright I'll keep an eye out for them and let you know
>>17169906>>17169909>comments mentioning "modernized fougere similar to drakkar noir">potpurri spices>beastmode blue>"best of the line">comparisons to other Dior frags that smell; nothing alikeI think it's definitely Sauvage Elixir
>>17169912It’s called common courtesy and decency but who’d expect that from Americans.
>>17169912You should just cover yourself in piss and shit with that attitude. Who cares what others are thinking? Much cheaper and you can even try it for free. You’re the man.
>>17169890>>17169904>>17169925Alright, guess that was too easy - as expected.How about this one?I know some in this thread have it and this time I've taken the absolutely least helpful reviews.Again, NO GOOGLING!
>>17169945That one could be Antaeus. No fucking clue what cocoa Note that one guy is talking about though.
>>17169925damn what retard said it smelled like eau sauvage lol
>>17169956Interesting, right? And specifically the pre-2017 version with the black label. Untrained nose with access to an older bottle of Eau Sauvage Parfum. Had me confused while making that picture, which is why I included it, despite name-dropping the house.
>>17169912just buy 2ml samples online,kiddo. it's not expensive and you can test it on skin not paper. Thank me later
>>17169945>>17169955Gonna go with Guerlain Vetiver as my educated second guess
>>17168033Guaranteed to get pussy tonight, buddy!
>>17169802This. Literally no one wears perfume in Europe but women. And if someone does, you never notice it in everyday life. Even in close quarters with people like uni classes or riding the bus. >>17169934Wasting your money is common courtesy and decency? It must be if you have no spine>>17169944>You should just cover yourself in piss and shit with that attitudeI already told you I don't like Antaeus.And you can just be convenient about it, don't care what 3 wagies think of you to impress the others. Also using "compliment getting" as a way to select frags is so sad honestly. It can be a factor but if you just get a frag because it's liked by everyone it tells much about you. I like sauvage because I like how it smells, that it's very well liked is just a plus. And I dont remember ever smelling it before either.>>17169945Fuck I am sure I know this one because I remember reading the latex comment. Could very well be something I tried because I remember thinking that the latex comment was absolute bullshit.>>17169962I'll soon have to, I sampled everything I was interested into and more from shops. It's basically a hobby for me now, I like smelling things.
>>17169945maybe Guerlain Heritage?it's funny how none of these actually tell you what it smells like in any waywhat the fuck is up with the Cedrat Boise comment? is Cedrat Boise not already perfume? wtf?
>>17169976I expected people in Italy or France to wear some, at least but the only common smell in both country’s seems to be cigarette smoke and garlic.
>>17169945>>17169957you're using fragrantica where the reviews are all by normie retards lol
Neroli Intense on a hot vacation day - what a pleasure it is
>>17169979I laughed so hard reading that comment that guy is a comedy genius>>17169983I live in Italy myself, can confirm. Funny how wearing parfume as a guy here is more daring than not doing so. Society.
>>17169990is that your vacation?thats beautiful
>>17169993It’s the same in Germany. The only upside is that it’s making people recognize you by your (((signature scent))) really easy if you’re into that. Although there’s a thin line between smelling good and being the guy that turns the room into a gas chamber, which is an old habit for us at least, I guess
>>17170002>>17169993>>17169976> Literally no one wears perfume in Europe but womenFactually wrong. Almost all people in my circle wear niche and it’s the same with virtually everyone from an aspiring- or upperish-middle class. Whereas by niche I obviously mean mostly things like Malle, Le Labo, Diptyque etc but a good chunk of my creative or artist friends wear hardcore niche (like Beaufort London for example). On the streets? Yeah, almost no one then but why would I care about random Joes or Janes.
>>17170002You either are never noticed and are wasting your time and money or you obnoxiously fill the room. It's hard to find the sweet spot if you don't have someone close to ask to. Also needs to be fairly refined, some people can't distinguish deodorant from fragrances, not can tell how much us too much or too little. We can change that by gifting frags to people . I just started with my family.
>>17170012If all you have to reply to our personal experiences are personal anecdotes as well, I don’t believe putting the word "factual" in front of what you’re saying gives you any more legitimacy. Good to hear that not all people are so disinterested. Where are you from if I may ask ?
>>17170012Your circle sounds rather niche itself. But most people don't care much. It's a special occasion item for everyone, something you should wear to impress a girl or at a fancy dinner.
>>17169990I wanna smell her feet, bro
>>17169983I live in southern France and lots of people wear perfume. I catch whiffs of Sauvage, Boss Bottled and BDC regularlyThese people don't know what they're talking about
>>17169990>reverse Google search >0 resultsanon… post a timestamp. i refuse to believe
>>17169990where is that? greece? i want to visit with my gf. please anon
>>17170002you guessd wrong,that never happened
>>17169955>>17169966>>17169976>>17169979It's none of these.Hint: it's kind of a cheapie.>>17169984That was my intention. When I saw on there that people describe sausage elixir as an old school barbershop classic a la Drakkar Noir, it had me confused. Thought I'd make a game out of it.>>17170002I've started actually trying to smell what other people are wearing here in Germany, and I think many wear something. It's just that nothing is powerful today and everything is diluted, so you can't catch it that easily. Might be related to this city, though, which is kinda into fashion and shit.
>>17170000>>17170040A village in the South of France - a 30m ride from Avignon
This box is fucking retarded lol but you already know your boys loving the bois. Thank you based Quinten
>>17170055I agree about the box but I don’t mind it as that’s probably one of the factors why it is cheaper than most of designer scents.
>>17170066True. With the lucky scent coupon, it came out to only $58 with 3 free samples I got all the Marc marc antoine barrois frags from bisch
>>17170069oh and I bought a sample of his new fragrance for CDG, Marseilles
i'm intrigued
>>17170044yeah, a lot of people say it smells like an 80s fragrance, when it doesn't at all
>>17170072Smells like a boys locker room. Avoid it at all costs.
>>17170075yeah my balls produce all the animalic notes i need
is creed avenues worth it or is it just a meme?
>>17170072Herbal piss final boss. Again, go outside and try it.
>>17170087shitty performance
>>17170069>$54What the fuck is it really that cheap??
fuck platinum egoiste is greatmight have to cop a bottle
>>17170117what about bleu de chanel? meme tier?
>>17170087only worth it if you really like that exact scent.theres plenty of others that smell similar for a lot less.
>>17170147it's safe and versatile, kinda on the expensive side .Smells great,but you will not stand out ,desu.it's not something special.
>>17170147very safe inoffensive NPC frag. kind of overpricedI think Terre d'Hermes is still the best out of the big brand "versatile" hyped modern designer frags
How similar are the OG and the L'eau editions of Habit Rouge?
>>17170072Go and try it, reading about it is definitely gonna turn you off, once I've tried it I was sure i want a bottle, only thing is regret is getting a 50ml not a 100ml right away but we'll see
>>17170209I wish I could find it in any store to try. every store here seems to carry Antaeus but not Kouros for some reason. might have to get a sample at some point
>>17170227Yeah, a sample is a must, I've went into a store about 5-6 times to try it before deciding to get a bottle.
>>17170160>>17170164Isnt it like $120? I have a valentino cologne that I got for the same price
>>17170147if you're a newfag, remember to wait until it dries down until you come to a verdict. all the Chanel frags have shit performance and Creed is a bullshit company with a fake history and are absolutely not worth the money.
>>17170044Modern fragrances are designed with women in mind. They are made to be safe to not upset women that are in the office (they should be in the kitchen and taking care of babies). That’s also why iris is so popular today. It’s easy for women. Nothing is made with the thought of masculinity and being a male leader.
>>17169945WHAT IS IT??? I CANT STAND THE SUSPENSE
>>17169990That’s a man. Fake and gay
>>17169638go back to twitch and lurk 10 years before posting here again, retardjust so you know this has nothing to do with fragrances. I don't care about explorer. but you are a fag
>>17169471Yeah, the wagies at the mall are not trained to know their stuff. If I walk in to any store I'm generally sure I know more than the people working there.
>>17169035Fuck, I love Prada and wish I could sample these without having to blind buy. Are they mostly oriental-type fragrances?
>>17168417Creed Viking cologne in the morning then a spray or 2 of Dunhill Icon later on in the day.Feelin' the pepper today
>>17170392>Feelin' the pepper todayHave you tried dior jules?
>>17170072Buy it if you can get it cheap. If you like Old school scents then you might dig it. I haven't worn it out in public yet but I have applied it loads as there's is a great attraction to it for meGo to a store and sample it. let it dry down though as that opening gave me whiplash.
>>17170321Give it some time, let some other people guess.
I swear to god, my expectations weren’t high, but boi this smells better than I thought. I recommend it if you like some apple and cinnamon notes at the top. Later it developed really nice and it lasts about 5 hours. Thoughts?
>>17170499It's a snice autumn scent but like a lot of frags the current formulation isn't as strong as it used to be.
>>17170499One of the most common fragrances out there, at least in Germany. There's obviously a reason for that. I wouldn't wear it myself, but I can see why people like it.
>>17170499You'll probably like this one as well then.
>>17170209Yep, I bought a 50ml bottle of Kouros last year because I didn't expect to wear it that much, but I ended up liking it way more than expected and burned through it pretty quick. Recently re-upped with a 100ml bottle and feeling great about it
>>17169636intensly =(depending on preference) absolutely>>> edt >>> oud and leather >>>>>>>>>> freeze
>>17169826>This subfucking go back
>>17168536I buy like 3 Tom ford scents and mix them all together so I wear like 800 dollar calone
New>>17170686>>17170686>>17170686
>>17168638>>17168763Yeah I'm blind buying but these sound like safe picks to me. I hear them recommended all the time.
>>17167522Meme or worth?
>>17170341Tried those two and Marienbad in the clear bottle, they're all wonderful orientals. It blows my mind that there's barely any reviews on the Olfactories line compared to LV's line full of polished generic freshies, with some exceptions like Ombre Nomade. Try joining one of the many fragrance exchange groups on Facebook, there's a whole bunch of them especially if you live in the US or Canada. Some perfume autist like an anon here (pic related) will have a decant to sell you if you ask nicely.
>>17170729They're fine frags anon, enjoy them. Maybe don't spend so much without smelling them first tho. It can be an addictive/expensive habbit.
down on your knees NOW faggot
>>17170325i don't visit twitch,is that like a streaming platform? Also,sounds like you're a broke fag that can't afford aventus
>>17170652why? i don't like the syrupy sugary sweetness of intense,give me a headache. Freeze is supposed to be the fresh version of it .
>>17170864is prada luna rosa black worth it?can't find samples
>>17171537i smelled it, kinda boring. just reminds me of prada l'homme intense
Should i cop this?I never smelled it irl, what thoughts do you guys have
