>>18100898P Diddler's 'Unforgivable'
Asking Luca Turin, a biophysicist, if he likes a perfume is like asking Neil DeGrasse Tyson if he likes the movie Dune. He's a highly educated man, but his degree isn't even remotely related to the subject at hand. He's a quippy asshole and that is entertaining, but facts are facts. His opinion is no more relevant than someone like Jeremy's. In fact, he's a lot less fair than Jeremy. All Turin does is do a little spritz and jot down his immediate thoughts, which, more often than not, align with his pre-existing opinion of the house it came from. For all of his pomp and bloviating, there's no question in my mind that he wouldn't recognize 99.999% of fragrances he's reviewed over the years if he encountered them in public. Conversely, Jeremy has sniffed the neck of almost every 14 year old boy in Miami and correctly identified their fragrance with a shockingly high success rate. He clearly spends a lot of time with this shit. Plus he doesn't limit the reviews to his own subjective opinion. Sometimes he asks dumb bimbos to share their subjective opinions. Honestly, Jeremy Fragrance is, without a hint of irony, a more credible authority on fragrance evaluation than Luca Turin. Plus Turin gave Secretions Magnifique a perfect score, which is something he almost never does. I just don't trust the man very much.
>>18100912Secretions magnifique is great what are you flapping your gums about?
>>18100913You know that if you want to smell like piss and spit and cum you can just piss and spit and cum on yourself, right? It's a completely redundant purchase.
>>18100918It's a pretty inoffensive salty aquatic, you clearly haven't smelled it
>>18100921Wait, are you saying your piss and spit and cum do not smell like a pretty inoffensive salty aquatic? Are you sick?
>>18100923We're here to discuss perfume, let's not lower the tone, ok?
>>18100918It doesn't smell like piss rather than flowery scented water wipes, disgustingly metallic. Reminded me when i enjoyed cheap hookers, who doesn't bother to shower between the last and next client. But only clean they used pussy with flowery scented water wipes.So they hit the nail with secretion magnifiques, the creator literally must have experienced hookers before too.
Should I buy this?

Just applied my sample of Zadig & Voltaire's "This Is Really Him!". Pretty good so far.
>>18100945My dad is a big fan of Hermes, Polo and Gucci.
Is there a frag which is basically Eau Sauvage but with actual performance? Or a recommended dupe of it which offers performance?
>>18101032there are many
>>18100986Brut
>>18100945mom:>Cartier La Panthere>La Vie est Belle>Cacharel Eden>Guerlain Samsara (gift from me)>Versace Blue Jeans (gift from me because she liked it a lot)dad:>Prada Luna Rossa>Encre Noire Sport (gift from me, he has since bought 3 bottles and applies 20 sprays)
>>18101032Kaszebsczi Mech has some similarities (though it reminds me more of Chanel Pour Monsieur). very good performance but it's a bit heftierDiorella is a good alternative toofor a bigger departure, there is Boucheron Pour Homme. good performance on that one too

SOTD THIS GOAT RIGHT HERE. Smells so good and a coworker thought someone was wearing Santal 33. told him I got that Santal 43 on Anyway what’s your SOTD fags
For me it’s
>>18101179do it faggot
>>18101179It’s an amazing frag, and if you look at the notes and think “that sounds amazing” chances are you’re going to like it, but generally speaking that genre of fragrance isn’t blind buy safe, so use your own judgement.
>>18101179It was made by a woman so you should already know the answer
thoughts on Boucheron Pour Homme?
>>18101128(´。＿。｀)
Sampled my first Arab frag yesterday (Al Harami Amber Oud Black) and it's surprisingly good.
>>18101183Is that the Intense or the original? Either way that is a good choice anoin.
>>18101187Guerlain's Dupe is better
>>18101183congrats on coming out of the closet to your coworkers.
>>18101220great
This has heavily changed the way it smells. Now that I have 30ml left it smells like chocolate powder. Before it was lipstick
Apparently, this is Connor McGregor signature scent. Does anyone here have it? What does it smell like
>>18101248that can happen. it's always had a lot of both iris and cocoa though
>>18101187that bottle looks like a douche
>>18100936Don't listen to that seether. I haven't smelled that one specifically so I can't vouch for the accuracy, but the Detour Noir is very close to Layton, so if that's any indication then yeah.And feel free to keep posting in these threads, btw.
>>18101188>>18101210>>18101214Bought it. I bet will be selling it next week. Stay tuned.

I've noticed that lots of the fragrances that are bright and fresh, the bright fresh say citrus notes tend to go away fairly soon. Are there any good bright fresh fragrances that in the dry down still have those bright and fresh notes?
>>18101427citrus notes are volatile and fleeting by nature. if you want anything alike to natural citrus, it's not gonna last that long
>>18101441are there any brighter notes that can last a decent while?
how are you? I'm fantastic, and I'm doing very well
why did cartier’s l’envol go ignored? it’s a beautiful fahrenheit-cool water adjacent fougere. you’d think given the current vintage powerhouse craze people would love something clearly evocative of the style.
>>18101461im autisctic
>>18101462no marketing no nothing, I haven't heard about it >beautiful fahrenheit-cool water adjacent fougere.and how do you know? have you smelled it? got a good review on it? I'm asking because I can get a tester of it for half the price and maybe I will if it's good enough
>>18101482>and how do you know? have you smelled it?i went to my local cartier boutique and sampled it like a normal person. how else was i supposed to praise it?
>>18101462because it's boring and weak? it smells nothing like fahrenheit, noselet.
>>18101487the edp or the edt?
>>18101490it’s beautifully restrained and the violet leaf note is absolutely reminiscent of fahrenheit. stick to parfums de marly. >>18101493EDP
>>18101462>>18101495you hyped it up by mentioning two great fragrances when in reality it shares a note with one and a small part with a whole genre of frags when in reality it's a "transparent oriental" with an aromachemical woody base with some honey sweetnes and a lipsticky iris
>>18101498>aromachemical woody basewhat do you think cool water is exactly??>transparent orientaltransparent perhaps, but there was nothing oriental about it to me. cartier’s own description of it does it a disservice>honey sweetnesssweetness yes, honey notsomuch. again, i call upon the cool water fougere comparisons. >lipsticky irisi’m not convinced you’ve actually smelled it yourself.
I just wanted to tell you guys that your random schizo rants about frags that I never smelled or even heard about make my evenings better.thanks :)
>>18101501>cool water>woody baselol>sweetness yesfrom honey which you can not only smell but also read in the notesand the iris is reminiscent of one of the dior hommes parfum?intense?
>>18101501>>18101508also cool water has green apple sweetness which is not happening in the cartier
>>18101505cool :]
>>18101508>>cool water>>woody baseit’s literally built upon a woody amber base, just like every ambroxan/norlimbanol bomb at sephora and just like l’envol. they’re all just distant evolutions of cool water’s base structure. >from honey which you can not only smellexcept i don’t, and i highly suspect that you don’t either because you’ve never smelled it. >and the iris is reminiscentof nothing, because it has none? whose review are you trying and failing to parrot?>>18101510what exactly so you think adjacent means, a carbon copy?
give me your phone lets take a picture
>>18101514>built upon a woody amber basemaybe it's "built on it" but you can't smell it since 1. it's blended well 2. CW doesn't last long enough to get to it>adjacent meanshoney is not adjacent to fresh green appleare YOU sure you're talking about the right fragrance?https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Cartier/L-Envol-de-Cartier-Eau-de-Parfum-39885.html
>>18101529yeah, you’re just parroting fragrantica reviews. you can talk to me when you’ve actually smelled it for yourself.
>>18101534>fragrance has honey sweetness>fragrance has honey listed as one of the notes>uhh no hoeny here sweaty becuase my dumbass can't smell it and draws comparisons to unrelated fragrances
>>18101537why do you insist on commenting on perfumes you’ve never smelled. do you discuss movies you’ve never watched too?
>>18101539are you projecting because I have smelled it and am discussing it with you but you seem to be a noselet and wrong
>>18101543you definitely have not smelled it, or you wouldn’t be insisting that it smells anything like iris or dior homme, and you wouldn’t be parroting fragrantica reviews and using fragrantica notes as word of god either.
>>18101546>insisting that it smells anything like iris or dior homme,I'm not insisting I just mentioned it and how it has that note so it differs from CW and fahrenheit and don't swithc the subject to this suddenly>parroting fragrantica reviewsnot what I'm doing>as word of godnot as a word of god just to show you that it's listed as a note also would a basenotes link been better for your fragrantica allergic ass?
>>18101551of course it fucking differs from CW and fahrenheit you moron. i said it was adjacent, not identical. are you fucking illiterate?>would a basenotes link been better for your fragrantica allergic ass?smelling it for yourself and giving me your actual opinion and not some bullshit you read online would be the only acceptable option unfortunately.
>>18101555>i said it was adjacentand I'm saying it's not because it has very little to do with them and I don't know why you'd mention the other ones if there's no reason tothe fact that it has a violet note doesn't mean it's even adjacent to fahrenheit same as saying that cuir cuba is adjacent to tf tuscan leather because of the leather notethis comparison is as ridiculous as yoursyou don't point out similarities or adjacencies from just one notethe notes are done differently so they smell differently>smelling it for yourself and giving me your actual opinion and not some bullshit you read online would be the only acceptable option unfortunately.probably, since I've been fucking with you for the past few posts and I've never smelled the stuff :)

>>18102103pepper? it smells like dirt and oranges. And yes its overrated, same as Bleu De Chanel for which /fa/ says that it does nothing but it does it good so its a phenomenal fragrance
>>18102103It just smells like light woods and heavy sweet oranges. On similar entry level like Bleu de Chanel.

>>18102341I think Jus de Rose comes off as classy, though that isn't a flattering picture of her. A lot of the other female frag reviewers come off as a bit too bimbo-like. Though Curly comes off as overly forward and lewd. But the best female frag reviewer who is elegant and blessed with wonderful dollop of autism is Willow.

Quick reviews:>Guerlain Vetiver Parfum (2024)Shit for old people like the entire line.>Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Parfum (2024)Does nothing new. Fits right in with the line. Not bad, but not exciting either. >Guerlain Habit Rouge Parfum (2024)Actually based, although very unisex. Unlike Rouge Prive, which got hyped and then turned out to be mid, this one is actually great. Performance of the charts. Takes Habit Rouge and turns it thick and dense, albeit losing a lot of the florals/rose in the process and adding some gourmand-ish vibes, which is probably what makes it unisex. Regardless, full bottle acquired and worn multiple times already.See you in another 30 threads or so.
Damn this Hermann blah blah fragrance from ELDO is pretty cool. Weird sharp incense rose with some funky synthetics
>>18102368Will do! I'm thinking Elixir. When I first bought Sauvage, I accidentally tried Elixir thinking it was the original and loved it so much I bought it on the spot. I still love Sauvage original, but Elixir always felt like that next level thing
>>18102373quite stupid

There is no such thing as a ”coomer mutt” here
yeah right, coomer mutt
>>18102373Guerlain vetiver is based you’re just a limp wristed faggot. >like habit rougeConfirmed faggot
>>18102425sounds like something the coomer mutt would say
>>18102441also very stupid
>>18102251I’ve tested both and imo found this to be one of the extraordinarily rare occurrences of the parfum being the same or very similar to the EdP except with better performance. Been debating picking up a full bottle for quite a while but I don’t know if it’s warranted based on my current collection/size.
>>18102360Go to a store and test both. One spray on each hand and see how you like them after a few hours. I think there is a lot to be said for finding a single fragrance you like and sticking to it.
>>18102424Serves you right for trying to sabotage your country's economy.
>>18102360Either the edp or the elixir, especially the latter if you like REALLY loud frags>inb4 both are loudSauvage elixir makes sauvage edp look like an eau de cologne
What do I do about smelling good If I'm genuinely averse to most artificial fragrances? Everything from Axe to Versace just makes me queasy.
>>18102424Anon if you are paying extra fees and customs to ship from the UK to the EU that is because of rules imposed by the EU not the UK.
>>18102401I prefer the EDP as well. I've been gifted the Elixir twice already and they're just collecting dust
>>18102360I don’t know where you live and how loud fragrances are socially acceptable there, but I personally found Sauvage Elixir kind of hard to use because it radiates so goddamn strongly. Great scent, but not necessarily very practical.Than being said, the times I’ve smelled someone using it in the public, it’s good stuff even when smelled on others, it’s just that it’s one thing to briefly catch a whiff of it in a corridor, another one to be stuck in a small conference room with someone wearing it. Probably wouldn’t enjoy the latter.EDP is IMO the most flexible Sauvage in the line.
>>18102507I don't have anything against people wearing fresh colognes to the gym but there seems to be a rise of bro dudes wearing elixir to the gym and it's brutal stuff. Elixir should only be used if you know you're going to be in an open area all night such as eating outside and the like.
>>18102497>everything from Axe to expensive Axe makes me queasy Versace isn't a house that's known for their natural smelling fragrances. I like them well enough, but it is what it is. Do you have a list of fragrances you've tried that you have had averse reactions to? If we know which ones don't work for you it will help to isolate specific ingredients that are likely the cause. But the easiest route would be to start sampling the more expensive houses as well as brands that specifically bill themselves as using naturals or mostly naturals. You'll find that almost every house regardless of price uses synthetics to some extent, but not all synthetics are created equal.
>>18102512>>18102507OMG who fucking cares
>>18102521embarrassing
>>18102497I can almost guarantee you “artificial” has nothing to do with your aversion. If you’d like to test this, order some samples from Hiram Green, everything by him is all natural.

>>18102532Imagine having so little agency an control over your own life that you take satisfaction in wearing inappropriate fragrances at would otherwise be a normal or even pleasant social interaction.
>>18102497Try Diptyque.
Kek, how low in the social pecking order do you have to rank in order to be paranoid about whether your cologne may or may not have a negative impact on one of your social interactions. No adult that is in a socially comfortable place would waste a second on worrying about that sort of thing.
>>18102535i dont think an average 4chan user would consider any social interaction pleasant
>>18102512Some guy was wearing Tobacco Vanille at the gym the other day, and some other fat guy was wearing Paco Rabanne Phantom.
>>18102328Monika vs. Curly is the better bimbo comparison.
FIRST IMPRESSION: I like the EDP better than the EDT. It still has that sweet baby powder thing that I don't love, but the lemon is much less astringent and doesn't have the wood cleaner vibe that I find extremely off-putting in the EDT. The lemon in this reminds me of Brisk ice tea. The kind that used to come in a can that you would see in pepsi machines. As it dries down the lemon fades into the background and the rose starts to peek out. So far that's my favorite aspect. It's a dry rose that you really don't find in modern men's releases. The leather is present throughout but it's a soft kind of leather. Doesn't have the cocaine vibe popularized by T*m F*rd that all modern leathers seem to want to aspire to. FIRST IMPRESSIONS VERDICT: I don't hate it as much as I hate the EDT. I think Rouge Prive will probably be my favorite from this line when I eventually track it down, but so far this one isn't hideous. Everything I hate about the EDT seems like it's been softened to tolerable levels in the EDP
>>18102535literally only happens in the head of someone obsessed with smelly water. normies really don't give a shit.
>>18102564Meh, I'm not the biggest fan of Curly but I think it is inaccurate to call her a bimbo. Bimbo implies pretty, airheaded, and somewhat effetish materialism. Curly is pretty but not the either two.
>>18102576anon, normies care about people wearing too much cologne. It is a very common complaint.https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/1805vfj/way_too_much_cologneperfume_at_the_gym_is_worse/
Best frag to cover up the smell of swamp ass?Asking for prosterity.
>>18102578Curly is cute but she talks like Goldmember. The Dutch accent is one of the least attractive European accents to my ear. Which is strange, because when I hear Dutch people speaking Dutch it's not that bad.Dutch and English are so closely related that they're like a step and a half removed from being mutually intelligible, so I think there's some kind linguistic uncanny valley thing happening. They're accent sounds almost like it's an English dialect, but not quite. For some reason I find it unsettling.
>>18102585Yeah I'm not a fan of her accent either, but she at least does have a very good command of English.
>>18102588Yeah, which isn't surprising. Apparently Dutch is one of the the easiest languages to learn as a native English speaker and vice versa. Old English and modern Dutch are extremely closely related. German is also quite close, but Dutch is much closer.
>>18102582Nobody on reddit is normal by mental health standards.
>>18102578>inaccurateeh, as a dutch person she is a personification of a dutch bimbo.
>>18102648ahh ok that's fair. In America she is at most Bimbo-adjacent. She doesn't appear stupid enough to be a bimbo in America.
>>18102578Curly is mid but she is a bro and a real human bean.
>>18102660>Curly is midThat's fair I'd say she is pretty, but to me that means 7/10 at most>she is a broYeah she does have very laddish behavior, which I am not particularly fond of in a woman>and a real human bean.She doesn't strike me as overly fake, but I'm sure she moderates what she says with her audience in mind
>>18102564I think Curly at least knows what things smell like. Eau de Erica says some legitimately dumb shit.

>>18102743It smells much more balanced when layered with intense curry sweat. Those of us in the first world will never be able to experience it in the way that you get to, Mowg
>>18102766I'm worried about that with myself as well. So I'm setting a strict limit of no more than one new bottle per month. I'm already anticipating May so I can buy another though.
>>18102767thank you florida schizo
There is nothing wrong with wearing Shalimar as a man. Fragrance doesn't have gender. Those are Jewish lies.
>>18102771I use Klarna and Afterpay to buy fragrances. I usually buy no more than four a month, which makes it so I'm paying between 20-30 usd per installment a week. I find it to be a very manageable way to grow a collection.
>>18102777largely correct
>>18102777>>18102781okay fags wearing mitsuoko
>>18102784Mitsouko is even less overtly feminine that Shalimar. That one was just as popular with men as it was with women when it was released. Charlie Chaplin wore it as his signature

Just for the hell of it, I want to get a full bottle of something from Amouage.I got decants ofInterlude: Warm and pretty nice.Interlude Black Iris: The overpowering woodiness was offensive to my nose.Jubilation: Nice, but boring.Search: Does smell like a nicer version of Eau Sauvage.Reflection: Smells clean and I really like this one.Reflection 45: Smells distinctly woodier than OG and in a worse way.What other ones should I try out? I'm currently leaning on Reflection and Search.
>>18102896Royal Tobacco is great, the drydown especially once the smoky frankincense wears off a bit.
>>18102898Definitely will look into that. It's the Opus XIV, right? I tend to dislike fragrances with rose in the notes (like everything from Tom Ford), but I don't have a tobacco fragrance either, so I'm excited to try.
>>18102913Yea, you won't notice any rose. The tobacco comes out more in the drydown. The opening is powerful and it lasts forever on the skin.
>>18102585Dutch is basically a dialect of German.
>>18102795How floral is it? Most retailers list it as a women's frag.
>>18102986Dutch is probably a mutt language, mostly german, a little french, a little english
>>18102994no one asked, coomer mutt
>>18102986So is Old English.
I feel so bad for this man. I can't even fathom how embarrassing it must be to be robes08. Seriously, I could never. Imagine using your AOL instant messenger name from 1996 as the name for your channel and not changing it in like fifteen years of making content. On top of that, he's Canadian and pronounces French words in a disgusting Quebecois dialect that makes every word sound like its being spoken by a duck. And his topic is perfume, an industry in which 90% of the merchandise is labelled in French, so there's rarely a video in which he doesn't have to rape your ears. On top of that, he's one of the old guard fragtubers and has been around longer than almost anyone else, but has to watch as noselet bimbos like Curly and Eau de Erica shoot past him in subs after making 3 videos because they have boobs and vaginas. And that would probably be fine, but he also gets mogged by the likes of GentScents, Redolessence, Chaos Fragrances and Big Black Beard Man despite having been around longer and having a collection that's just as enormous. All the poor fella can do to save face is pretend that the reason no one likes him is because Parfums de Marly is paying people to not watch his videos or something. Even Sebastian the perfume guy is ahead. Brooklyn Fragrance Lover is ahead of him and he's been dead for three years. This poor man, man.
>>18102777Based, I use Shalimar often, also Allure and Aqua Allegoria Nettare di Sole.

>>18102988>>18102795I gotta get my nose on Eau de Guerlain. and Eau de Rochas Homme
>>18103044Every aspect of this post is dangerously based
>>18103039That's a good point. Everyone else has adapted to YouTube by making their usernames something fragrance related, and he's still using a generic name with numbers. I find the Quebecois rather cringe, like when he says "parfurr concentration." His reviews used to be good, when he was still open to designer stuff, but now he's just too pretentious, reviewing bullshit niche that no one will ever buy, save for retirees. But it's clear that he's bitter because when he stopped reviewing for a while, everyone else got huge on YouTube. His attacks on GentScents are also kind of unwarranted, because the guy seems nice, even if he is a shill for some brands, whereas Marc seems like a dickhead.
>makes zoomers and boomers piss and shit themselves so hard that fragrantica has to make a separate page for the original formula
Whoever was asking about ADG Parfum, I've been wearing it for the last 24 hours and I think my main takeaway is that it doesn't project like the original Profumo but smells 100% better. It's much more modern smelling, smoother and somehow more addictive. Definitely more summery and reminds me of sunscreen now, to some extent. I'd say it's worth the $90 you'd pay on Giftexpress vs. the $200 for Profumo.
>>18102994eop tier take
Anyone here with cedrat boise also got some bubbles on the bottom of their bottle? Kinda looks like jizz
>>18103167that would explain the Creamy Drydown

>>18102766Almost the opposite is happening to me this week, I’m strongly wanting to sell off bottles I don’t use much and stick to a small collection of 3-4
>>18103194I'm not French. You call me French again and we're gonna have a problem.SOTD: ADG Parfum
Wish there were still designer frags being made that smell mature that aren't vintages. Seems like everything in the past 5 years has been candy sweet sloppa or shower gel.
>>18103231Take the Rogue pill, anon
Frags that smell like picrel
>>18103255I haven't smelled it, but I'm guessing pic related. It is on my list to order a sample of though.
>>18103226Do you like it?
>>18103261Yes I do. It's not as strong as Profumo but it's better in many ways.
>>18103254Desu I would prefer scents that are more modern. Something like Eau Sauvage Parfum or LIDGE is what I'm looking for.
>>18103254What are your favorite Rogues? Mousse Illuminée is the only one I really love, tbqh.
>>18103259there hasn’t been a single YSL perfume worth a shit in 20 years
How do I know if a frag smells good on me or not?I've never worn any cologne before, and it gives me anxiety when I do.I impulse bought clearance colognes at Marshalls and maybe it's just my bad random selection.>30 year old>perry ellis 360 black/blue , CK Man, CK Defy, Mont Blanc Starwalker
>>18103329>How do I know if a frag smells good on me or not?apply several sprays to necksniff it in the air throughout the dayif it smells good, it smells good. it's not rocket science. no one's going to mind unless you heavily overspray something weird
>>18103329also yes, you bought random slop that was on clearance for a reason. test shit out before buying, there's no no reason to blind buy stuff. especially 4 bottles at once, that's a lot of perfume to go through
>>18103329holy shit, so THIS is who is buying all the unwanted garbage that piles up at TJ maxx and marshalls

>>18103298Same-ish. Mousse Illuminée is the only I would want a full bottle of, but almost everything I’ve tried by him I would call “good”.Both Derviches, Bon Monsieur, Tabac Vert and Chypre-Siam are all close to full bottle status, but not quite.
