The Fragrance Groups 101 Chart

The Fragrance Flowchart for Beginners

>mfw when the anti Nicolai shill is a literal discord tranny

>sotd: trumper havana cologne

tagomago seething

Gonna layer Salomé and Seminalis to get that wonderful smell of sweaty balls, armpits and spunk that fills the room during those summer afternoons spent rotting and gooning in mom's basement.
I don't know why people pretend it's disgusting, it's the best smell ever, that's why you keep sniffing your fingers when nobody is watching you.

If you guys have better suggestions do tell.

*sprays aventus*
you may now seethe

>>18476816
>Papillon Salome

Uncanny how this smells like an unironic literal vagina. I’m both disgusted and aroused.

>>18476821
like you would know

>>18476824
Oh, I know. And it’s not a “fishy” smell like incels and virgins believe.

>>18476827
>vaginas don't smell fishy
found the virgin

>>18476827
>not a “fishy” smell
lmao what a fag

>>18476827
>not a “fishy” smell
lolololololololololololol.

>>18476827
fucking poser
I know a guy who has had sex and he says that every woman he's slept with has had a cunt with marine notes

>>18476827
lol, lmao even
everyone who had sex knows that vaginas smell like salty milk and coins

>>18476827
>t. noselet

I am not ashamed to admit that Dior Homme 2020 is better than any of the BDC variations

Why does /frag/ not really talk about clones and arab stuff? I can't really justify spending 100-300 usd on something when I can get pretty close to it for 30-40 bucks. Is it a prestige/puritanism thing?

>>18476881
>why is the most retarded place on the internet retarded?
hey man i really wouldn't know

>>18476881
we don't talk about such mundane fragrances.
we talk about olfactory art. if you have nothing to say about fermented cambodian oud or tibetian deer musk tincture from 1975, please head over to the fragrantica forums

>>18476881
For one good clone, there are 20 horrible ones that people pretend are "just like the real thing bro" because they blind bought them and are coping

Also, there are plenty of amazing original fragrances under 40$. Expensive brands don't have a monopoly on good perfume and thinking a haphazard clone of a 200$ fragrance somehow has more "value" than a good original composition is sad

>>18476881
if you can't afford luxury goods then don't buy them

>>18476881
Some are good, but every week now there's a dozen new releases that all get hyped up as being absolutely perfect beast mode pantry dropping compliment pulling recreations of some $300 niche fragrance, and everyone rushes out to buy it, only for it to fall off the face of the earth within a month and get replaced with whatever the shills are paid to push now. Seems like Afnan Rare Reef is the newest one in this cycle.

Plus the fact that they have to sit in your cupboard for at least a month after spraying it for the first time before they even start to become wearable is fucking retarded.

>>18476893
yeah that's fair enough, there's a lot of disingenuous shilling going around. but i was in the istanbul airport and they have the biggest selection of stuff i've ever seen and i smelled the originals of all the clones i owned and with maybe 1-2 exceptions it very much further validated my choice of not going with the more expensive option. dont really see the value proposition for the original stuff when a good clone exists and for most popular designer and niche frags there are like 5-10 clones to choose from.
>>18476894
lick my taint
>>18476895
ok but why would i care whats popular with retarded zoomers on tiktok? dont see how thats relevant tbqh

>>18476881
>>18476895
Plus, you can't test them in stores and it's harder/less cost effective to get decants so you're kind of forced to blind buy, and you'll get more misses than hits. I bought Bade'e Al Oud Honor and Glory after seeing it praised constantly and described as a pineapple creme brulee scent. Sounded great, then I got it and it smells like burning hair and rubber. Legitimately unwearable garbage, even after sitting for a couple of months.

if a fragrance has a clone, i lose all interest in it. the harder it is to procure, the better.

>>18476897
get a job faggot

>>18476899
Do you live in Zimbabwe? Afnan, Lattafa, Armaf et al are sold in a fuckton of brick and mortar stores nowadays and there are literally hundreds of online shops selling deacnts. The fuck lol

>>18476901
kill your mother and then yourself

>>18476878
that's not the comparison to make
DH20 should be compared to TdH

>>18476905
True. It's like they took TdH but made it much more inoffensive / bland.

Hi guys. Back again. Join this server if you like perfumes, particularly if you're knowledgeable about the chemistry behind scent or are interested in creating them yourself.

>>18476909
You can find people to jerk off with in less roundabout ways than this

>>18476904
poor nigger can't afford a fragrance?

better shit yourself on the internet

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>>18476881
>Is it a prestige/puritanism thing?
Yeah, it feels 100% good.

>>18476910
I don't jerk off. I'm doing no-flick-full-year whereby I don't masturbate for a full year to preserve my yonic magical energies.

>>18476881
That would be because so many arab clones are dog shit anon.

>>18476905
DH20 is only like TdH on paper, basically none of the notes smell alike.

>>18476881
a lot of clones are bad but even the good ones are looked down upon because this place is full of snobs who think spending 900% more money on similar smelling water makes them better than you

>>18476927
>this place is full of snobs who think spending 900% more money on similar smelling water makes them better than you
it does actually but you wouldn't know

>>18476881
I recently bought few clones, i cant make a photo now but it was:
>rasasi la yuqawam (tf tuscan leather)
>alhambra dark door intense(dhi)
>camaro homme intense(dhi)
>club de nuit sillage(creed smv)
>lattafa asad(sauvage elixir?)
>al haramain amber oud ruby edition(br540?)
>evoke gold edition man(prada lhomme)
and to be honest they all are kind of shit with an exception of la yuqawam which had bad longetivity until it MASTURBATED in few months, sillage is kinda ok, but it doesnt last, the prada lhomme one is kinda ok too, but it doesnt last. I dont know man. Give me some good clone examples

Thoughts on Ostens and Matiere Premiere? Is knowing that the ingredients come from LMR worth anything to you (Ostens)? Matiere supposedly grow some of the ingredients on their farms. Are there any other brands like this?

>>18476979
MP is solid. i believe Guerlain has an island where they raise bees to make their own honey, though i don't think they use it in their perfume. but they also have fields where they grow some flowers (might be owned or exclusive partnerships idk).
I know Amouage grows their own Frankincense.
Chanel, Dior and L'Artisan Parfumeur also own some fields to grow some of their ingredients.

>>18476936
>proving my point
nice self own

>look up popular fragrance on popular fragrance site
>invariably see the bot dash in recent reviews
What's the point of a review that isn't made up of your own thoughts?

>>18477014
just admit you're illiterate

>>18477020
Thank you sar.

Sel D'Issey a good high heat frag?

Bros, we agree buying backups doesn't count right? I don't have a problem right?

>>18477051
count for what?
hehe

when I say I have 73 bottles I mean I have 73 distinct bottles, then I mention I have 3 backups, one each for each one of my top3

>>18477070
Exactly for that, for bottle count.

>>18477070
and I should and will buy more backups and more new bottles
>>18477072
I wouldn't count backups in main bottle count just mention them after

>>18476900
That is very very gay

So I’ve been away from this thread for a couple of years and I just want to say that Bois Imperial is actually the best fragrance for men except maybe Platinum Egoiste

>>18477077
there is no straight way of being into perfume

>>18477083
The way I do it is pretty straight

>>18477086
you must be citizen of oppositeland then

>>18477081
Bois Imperial is for women. You can leave now.

>>18477088
shut up you miserable little incel freak

>>18477098
>gets called out
>throws hissy fit
typical woman

>>18476918
Fun fact for the thread
>yonic
Is the opposite of phallic, in other words
>preserve my yonic magical energies.
Is essentially saying preserve my pussy power.

>>18476780
Nicolai makes mediocre perfumes for the most part other than my vintage 30ml bottle of New York, which is pretty good. Why have you autistically defended this mediocre perfumer for years?

Every fucking faggot thinks they're a perfume expert. Euroitalia hasn't distributed D&G Pour Homme in probably 20 years. This retard's argument that it's not actually vintage because it's not dark yellow is stupid. I've got two other Euroitalia bottles and they have the same clear yellow color. Now I'm left with the choice of paying this guy's return shipping to me or giving him the bottle.

>>18477163
He got to smell it and was revolted by the smell but since you can't return a perfume for
making you puke you can only say you were sent the wrong color. Giving him a bottle of DG PH violates the Geneva Convention regarding gas attacks, take it back and dispose of it properly.

surprisingly good

>>18477183
>surprisingly
It's Lalique. It's always good

>>18477090
Reminder if you buy that, you sending money to Israel.

>>18477163
God I love based Chad buyers btfoing sellers. Take the L and get a job

>>18477199
L'Insoumis Ma Force wasn't that good. It's why no one talks about it.

Do black guys really all wear Acqua di Gio? Because I honestly really like it. And Armani's fragrances in general

i need to buy more of this soon, really love the blueberry scent.

>>18477163
when you get it back, it's going to be completely clear. tough luck bub.

>>18477235
>Vilhelm Parfumery

>Each Vilhelm scent has an elaborate founding story
>United States

Unless it's $20 I'm not even giving that tarted up etsyshit a chance.

>>18477241
in my experience their scents smell exactly like what it says on the tin, none of that cheap perfume stench either. which is what i am looking for in my perfumes. should try gold- and triptych collections as well, although they don't have poets in it they still have a lot of other perfumes i wanted to try.

>>18476772 (OP)
Why even wear fragrance?
There are better men out there. More beautiful, smarter, stron.. BETTER! They're BETTER!

>>18476955
Alright, performance is garbage, but what about the scent itself?

How do you gents and ladies organize your samples?
I have a bedside table with my bottles neatly organized, but more than half of it is occupied by sample bottles.

>>18477269
I never buy samples, I just blind buy popular fragrances.
Sometimes I regretted it, with prada infusion dhomme, Sauvage elixir, angel's share
But sometimes I loved them, for example aventus and aqua di gio profumo

>>18477199
true, basically everything they've made is worth a try

>>18477241
>Unless it's $20 I'm not even giving that tarted up etsyshit a chance.
don't bother, it's just another modern niche house

>>18477281
Can't wait for the perfume market to crash. People have to realise the king has no clothes at some point.

Sprayed this at my bathroom sink before I went to sleep, when I woke up at the morning 8 hours later to take the nicest shit ever, I could still smell it. Why does /fa/ say it doesn't last?

>>18477269
i keep my samples (~300) in a box

>>18477281
what's bad about being a modern niche house?

>>18477309
>created by some investment fund 3 years ago
>all the effort is spent on branding, theme and bottles
>scents? what scents? oh yeah, I guess we'll pay some rando to slap something together. or buy a rejected designer formula, IDK
>90% of the budget goes towards influencer marketing, must create the biggests shilling campaign ever!
>200$ a bottle for something that smells like you picked out something random for 20$ at TK Maxx
wa lah, welcome to modern niche brands

what's a good beginner oud

I just got a sample of Imagination, and it basically just smells like you did your laundry with 15 dryer sheets then scrubbed it with a bar of soap. Kind of underwhelming for something that costs like $300. Smells very high quality though at least.

>>18477317

>>18477317

>>18477317

>>18477328
this but with the clone Oud for Glory (the exact same frag for like 1/10 of the price)

>>18477320
Where’d you get the sample?

>>18477317

Also a question for everyone in the thread.

Acqua di Gio Profumo is lauded as being fantastic and unfortunately is discontinued, never had the chance to sniff it, probably never will considering how highly sought after it is.

There are some that say AdG Parfum is a fairly faithful recreation of the discontinued Parfumo. Is there anyone here that has smelled both and can comment?

>>18477330
From ScentDecants, I also got Pacific Rock Moss, Bohemian Lime, and Greenley as well. Pacific Rock Moss is really nice, very fresh and mineral-y, probably my favourite so far but I haven't tried Bohemian Lime yet.

>>18477334
Never tried Profumo, but the Parfum isn't very exciting.
Take the original AdG, make it slightly richer with a faint incense note and that's what it is.
Boring.

>>18477313
>created by some investment fund 3 years ago
so they are newcomers? cool.
>all the effort is spent on branding, theme and bottles
well that's how you make the first impression, can't blame them.
>scents? what scents? oh yeah, I guess we'll pay some rando to slap something together. or buy a rejected designer formula, IDK
the scents are there, have you even tried them? i have tried three of them and each smelled exactly like what it said on the tin.
>90% of the budget goes towards influencer marketing, must create the biggests shilling campaign ever!
haven't seen any of that.
>200$ a bottle for something that smells like you picked out something random for 20$ at TK Maxx
it's way better than cheap perfume, it's actually even better than many of the expensive perfumes i have tried.

>>18477349
not talking about that brand, as I haven't smelled it. just the state of modern """niche""" perfumes in general

>>18476827
Well, just let that vagina macerate and you'll get that note.

>>18477269
I gift the samples I don't like, then I keep the ones I like on my desk until they run out. I don't have a lot of samples because I rather save the money for bottles after I got burned on the awful Imaginary Authors discovery set. Waste of money.

>>18477317
thai oud is a good beginner one. chinese too i guess but harder to find. cambodian would be intermediate
>>18477320
welcome back dryer sheets schizo. imagination is indeed slop

>>18477269
I keep them in a box next to my full bottles

SOTN: Ed Hardy's Hearts and Daggers
One of the best freshies ever made

>>18477326
>>18477327
>>18477328
>>18477331
thanks, I'll see what I can test out. I smelled Oud Wood on a strip before and liked it but I want to see if I can't get something less expensive first.

>>18477389
there is 0 (zero) oud in oud wood

>>18477407
It's synthetic?

Does anyone know a perfume that ONLY smells like Lemons or citric in general? I only found Bergamotto di Calabria, but it loses it smell rather fast. All the ones i found, that claim to be citric just smell like flowers and old people.

>>18477420
Citric notes don't last long, that's why they are top notes to other long lasting notes. You can check stuff like Trumper West Indian Lime, or other similar colognes. They only last a couple minutes. I too want to smell like a lime anon.

>>18477420
guerlain pamplelune? that one is pretty much just grapefruit. no citrus centric perfume will last that long though

>>18477433
>>18477431
tank you for the answers....i am new to the game and it saddens me to hear that citrus does not last long in general

>>18477420
Try the new Boss Bottled Citrus

>>18477420
i noticed that my random bergamot essential oil for 5$ lasts longer than le labo bergamote and smells 90% the same

>>18477420
vitric molecules are highly volatile. you'll only get it in the opening

deep blue smells good on me, what other tommy bahama colognes were good?

>>18477269
I dedicate two shelves of my wardrobe to my fragrances and have another shelf in my room for my top fragrances. Both places of course have doors on them to not let in light.

>>18477327
I second this, citrus+leather+oud without more tricky notes like saffron or rose.

>>18477326
I need to try this one.

Tauer got 2 new fragrances (((while supplies last))). Rose Absolu and Vanilla Absolu, both flankers from his failed Taurville line. Heraud has the best most natural vanilla I have ever smelled and very long lasting so he knows how to do vanilla. His rose perfumes are also his best in my opinion. Unfortunately I am not into vanilla at all and the rose one sounds too sweet for me. The only perfume from Tauer I'm interested in that I don't own is Incense Rose.

I really wish Tauer would move on from his gourmand phase, his best are his dry roses and incense perfumes.

Dior Sauvage is so abrasive, what do people even like about it?

>be andy
>make laddm and addm
>both get great reviews
>instead of making more great frags make sweet slop

huh?
well anyway reddit will buy it up either way because his name now has recognition

>>18477491
normies wear it because it's popular and they're afraid to do anything that will make them stand out

>>18477492
>instead of making more great frags
He did, Rose de Kandahar is his best but most of his sales come from LADDM so he's stuck trying to make stuff on-trend to compensate for his stuff that doesn't sell. I just hate reading his fanboys call him a genius like everything he does is flawless. He's quite skilled and has struck gold multiple times but he has a lot of duds.

>>18477416
yes and nowhere close to real oud. there won't be any (perceivable) amount in designer or masstige frags that have the name oud in them
>>18477488
>his failed Taurville line
the stories line was pretty good. i wonder why it failed. probably too experimental

>>18477543
He's a creative person, he needs outlets for his creativity outside the constraints of his main brand. The business end doesn't always work out, he's lucky his main brand allows him to experiment. He should just have an offshoot line in his main line where he can do all his experimental stuff. Call it ALTauer or something stupid. That's where his Attar and L'Oudh should have been, they are great stuff but don't fit his core audience. Also everyone hates limited stuff but it's a necessity at times when experimenting. He just needs to stop his stupid FOMO marketing and just say, "hey I only have enough ingredients for a couple batches" or "this is a special edition test batch, if it works out I'll do a main release."

>>18477364
Well, I've already witnessed a couple of total normalfags buy it as their one and only fragrance. I'd say it's mass appealing enough , and therefore beginner friendly

Vanilla scents and gourmond scents generally smell cheap, plasticky and overpower everything they're mixed with. Anyone who likes to smell like cookie batter is low IQ.

>>18477716
Mercedes Club Black was one of my worst buys for this reason.
I have liked some 'boozy' vanilla notes. Fahrenheit Le Parfum for ex. is decent, though I still much prefer the EdT.

>>18477716
I generally agree but the vanilla in Habit Rouge is nice.

>>18477358
>save the money for bottles after I got burned on the awful Imaginary Authors discovery set
>tfw he can’t risk $120 without regretting it

do you prefer Rien or Rien: Intense Incense?

>>18477488
I also love his Incense Rose, currently own ACDD and probably going to pick up IR after ACDD is a little closer to empty, but really getting annoyed with him producing frags you can’t sample prior to purchase.

>>18477558
You can do limited batches so long as samples of said limited batch are also available.

>>18477741
I [spoiler]haven't smelled either[/spoiler]

I'm a coomsumer and I'm craving a leather scent. I recently bought a really nice leather duffle bag to carry my stuff daily and I want to keep carrying the smell.

I've done a bit of research and I found ADP leather, ombre leather, Tuscan leather and extreme leather.

Has anyone tried the ADP? It's the only one that my nearby stores don't have and I found a bottle of 180ml for around 180 USD and it seems it's discontinued.

>>18477770
dunno but for me it's jacomo de jacomo

>>18477770
knize ten for something classic
the zoo scent tattoo for something modern

>>18477737
I would rather have literally burnt $120 and took a whiff than spend it on Imaginary Authors. It's not the money, it's my olfactory receptors.

>>18477743
That's a good point. He needs to revamp his samples. The way they are lumped together is close to nonsensical. I'm still making up my mind on IR, I want another sample, I don't want to buy a set with 4 other stuff I either don't like or already tried. He also needs smaller bottles. I would be all over a 10ml IR.

weak, opens as household cleaner dries down to blueberry vape
cheap plastic cap, very sad

>>18477775
NTA but Jacomo de Jacomo came off as more smoky to me than leather, but I did still enjoy it.

>>18477770
>>18477781
Knize Ten seems to be a bit more polarizing, it definitely has a big following, but when I smelled it smelled nothing like leather and was pretty unappealing, so ymmv.

>>18477783
I’m in a similar boat with Heraud, haven’t sampled it at all, but not interested in paying $40 for what will essentially be a single sample and 3-4 other things I’ve already tried.

He used to have 10 ml splashes which he recently axed from his website. I didn’t much care for them -because- they’re splashes, but right when I was thinking to buy one and just immediately decant it into a travel spray, they were removed.

It’s nice when niche fragrance houses offer their own travel sprays, get a little more to test over a standard 2 ml sample.

Got a bottle of Eddie Bauer Adventurer. Holy top notes Batman! It opens with the most aggressive cheap green notes that made me feel like I made another terrible blind vintage buy. Fortunately it turns into a smooth clean tobacco scent. This is what DGPH wanted to be before they turned it nuclear. DGPH has a much more humane opening but the longevity is quite aggressive. They both smell cheap but Adventurer doesn't overstay its welcome. The bottle is super cheap, it got stained by its own fragrance because the frosting is a layer.

It came with a tiny bottle of Eddie Bauer Classic which is a sweet little fresh fougere with lavender, spices, maybe some clove. I can't find the notes for it which proves how much of a noselet I am. It's actually nicer than Adventurer if not a bit generic. Reminds me of Armani EPH but milder, simpler, and sweeter.

>ambroxan

>>18477797
Heraud is awesome, it's a great cocoa gourmand, and the vanilla is the most luxurious high quality I have ever smelled. What ruined it for me was reading some reviews criticizing it for its use of ambrox and then I noticed how similar it is to a lot of ambrox heavy women's perfumes. No wonder women absolutely love Heraud, very popular with the ladies.

whats your most challenging scent to wear?

>>18477821
>challenging
Does that mean the one I hate the most?

>>18477821
GG Absolute
it just smells like an expensive piece of luggage

>>18477821
What do you mean anon

Someone here described D&G PH as the inside of a scented Glad trash bag and I hate how correct you were. Faggot. Now I can't enjoy my sample

Sauvage is a swarthy fragrance. Eros, too.

>hot girls don't wear fragrances. They smell like angels and flowers naturally.
Is this true?

>>18477862
lmao my bad bro, if it makes you feel any better I'm a noselet and had a cold that magnified the smell tenfold. It's probably not so bad if you wear it regularly but even on a good day it's too intense for me.

>>18477881
Wouldn't know, I've never been with anything better than a 6.

>>18476955
I've been enjoying a couple of fragrance world clones that I picked up around christmas, but they only last a few hours.

>>18477794
Knize Ten is one of those leather scents where leather is code for "burning tire"
it's great

>>18477163
>oops my bad
>*sends bottle of dehydrated piss*
How will they be able to prove it's urine? The algorithm will just think they're giving a subjective opinion

>>18477770
yeah, I've tried it. it's not bad, kind of like tuscan leather with citrus. but I would probably just buy la yuqawam, the best clone of tuscan leather
cuir intense by guerlain is another fragrance in this style you might enjoy. it's a little dirtier.

>>18477741
trying them side by side now. rien has more soapy aldehydes and florals, II has more incense. the differences are more in the opening, they dry down very similar

>>18477917
zoomers really don't know what real leather smells like, huh?

>>18477741
>do you prefer Rien or Rien: Intense Incense?
yes

>>18477809
>awesome
>gourmand
just no

no difference between hot girls and the general population, most people don't give a fuck but there are hot girls who wear perfumes and there are at least some who really care about their fragrances

Zoomer girls don't seem to wear fragrances much, which is odd because the boys/young men bathe themselves in ambroxan sloppa

>>18478002
yep, basically every girl I've dated didn't wear perfume, some of them actively disliked it too

maybe it's a reaction to modern fragrance culture being driven by trashy influencers and sweaty guys wearing 30 sprays of Eros layered with Sauvage

every zoomergirl reeks of perfume, summerfags confirmed as incels

Is using fragrance a good idea?

Does anyone know if Prada Luna Rossa Ocean EDT has shit performance? I know Terre D’Hermes disappears because it makes you noseblind but also kind has a weak projection.

>>18478116
Using fragrance in general is low class behavior associated with older people. Barely anyone under 50 even buys fragrance anymore these days.

>time to throw away my fragrance collection (1bottle and 4 samples)

>>18477800
Got a bottle of Gucci Nobile. Without looking at the notes all I got was lavander, lots of it, a bit of spice on the top, and then lots florals. Looking at the notes the green notes become obvious, then carnation, fir, and moss. Other than being a noselet, vintage fragrances are blended into one scent so it's not easy to pick out 1 of the 20 or so notes. It's an ultra masculine scent but not in a harsh way, in a working professional with a power suit on, way. It smells like an 80s business man in a high rise whose business did not survive into the 90s.

>>18478121
don't listen to this poster. completely pointless post.
i'd look for fresh, clean aquatic frags. typically the longevity will not be the greatest, but you can always reapply. you can also apply on your clothes.
i'd try AdG Profundo, Acqua Di Sale, TdH, Colonia, Sauvage

I've never used fragrance before so I suppose nothing overly strong, I'm happy to take any recommendations from people who know what they're talking about. I can provide more info but I'm not sure what else to add, Thanks bros.

just bought this, i'm especially excited about maharajah and booze & baccy but the others seem good as well. here's to hoping this stuff is as high quality as they say.

>>18478127
im in the camp that if you really like the scent, save up to pay for the real thing. i find that clones always have something missing and i end up buying the real thing.
you can try to get the clone and it might suit you, but that's not my way to go.
also, TL is very clsoe to OL and the latter is much cheaper in comparison

>>18478133
nice, report back on them. i only know b&b and it's such a great scent
>>18478132

>>18478132
you can either go with the versatile frags like BdC, Y EDP, Dylan Blue, Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme, Profundo, Eros.
You can also go for something more sophisticated like Naxos or Radical Rose

What's a fragrance you love but never seen mentioned? I just found a sample of Azzaro The Most Wanted EDT Intense at the back of my cupboard from last year with a little bit left in it, and it smells amazing to me. I see the EDP intense talked about, but never the EDT version. I might pick up a bottle, I've got my nose glued to my arm right now.

to me those are like any other grooming company making a throwaway frag to make money off of brand loyalty

>>18478298
>>18478304
It's sickeningly sweet at first, very sugary and creamy which is mainly coming from the vanilla Chanel uses. It's the same vanilla they use in the sport version just a lot stronger. There is also a fizzy, fake citrus note that isn't too bad but fades quick. The dry down is great.

>>18478290
Dior Sauvage

been bathing in 4711 lately, beautifully unisex and quite fresh, decent sillage when first applied, unfortunately terrible longevity.

do we have reccomendations for fruity + citrus fragrance for summer to wear during daytime? recently its been hitting like 100 degrees so i really need something that fits me (mostly going to the lake w my friends) that is mostly just sweet and fruity while being slightly fresh or sm. maybe tropical could be nice idk.

anything with good, realistic, and mostly long lasting peach note? i love peaches so it'd be nice to smell like em or something idk. good longevity, projection and silage would be nice

thanks yall

Got a bottle of Escada Pour Homme. The top notes are a very luxurious lavender and citrus, I don't get the listed cognac note which is supposed to be a big part of it, maybe I need to drink more. The heart notes smell a bit dated and quite familiar because of the carnation and it gets very fresh and clean. The base notes make it all worth it with a stellar patchouli and musk with spices. It's one of the best scents I have smelled and keeps me coming back to it. The base notes remind me of D&G Velvet Patchouli but a lot smoother because of the vanilla and spices. It doesn't have great performance but it works out great for me and makes it more casual. I got it in a box and the bottle looks like it has never been used. Very happy with it.

>>18477937
Thank you for your recommendation. I tried Guerlain cuir intense today and I really liked it, even more than ombre leather. Is ADP similar to this?

I'll search in discounters for Guerlain, the price in store is around 210 USD.

I also tried Tom Ford eau d' ombre leather, it is pleasant but it's too sweet because of the vanilla, it smells kind of cheap, reminds me of Paul Sebastian fine cologne.

>>18478545
>reminds me of Paul Sebastian fine cologne
so it's good? because PS is decent except I see it as a feminine scent because I associate sweet smells with femininity

>>18478553
Yeah I would say that TF eau d' ombre leather is rather good, the initial spray really got my attention but it's really not for me and it's too expensive for a spicy vanilla, but you do you.

Now what about the comparison between ADP and Guerlain takes on leather scents?

>>18478556

I got a bottle of Azzaro WBN from my fren, I really like that one it's somewhere between gourmand and fougere. I tried TMWI but it's too generic for my taste

i tested kouros and it didnt feel animalistic to me, just clean and it has an aftershave smell, like a male bathroom
i liked it, i dont get the hate

>>18478556
>>18478545
I've only smelled both briefly, but I liked the the Guerlain more. it is that slightly dirtier, dustier tobaccoish leather that smells richer
the ADP is sharper and has some citrus. it is closer to the tom ford leathers, but the citrus doesn't fit all that well for my taste
my preference would probably be TL = Cuir Intense > OL = ADP

I would easily pay that for my favorite fragrance.

Kind of like Le Sel D'Issey but also it just reminds me of a lighter version of Kenzo Homme EDP opening, with none of the darkness or leather/patchouli dry down, so can't decide if it's just too redundant to buy.
It's a nice fresh scent though and definitely lasts a long time.

>>18478933
Actually scratch that, in literally the last five minutes the seaweed note has turned genuinely fishy and it's horrible.

>>18478633
Help me recognize a perfume bros, a guy sprayed it in a bathroom in Harry Reid Airport, it's the richest booziest scent I've smelled. I think the notes are (this might not be definite but I'm sure with it being whiskey or some kind of boozy note right off the bat, with smokiness): Whiskey/Booze (main opening), Citrus(mild), hints of Cherry or fruity notes, and smoky stuff. Picrel is the bottle I tried hard to recreate from my memory, I only got a quick glimpse after I got a whiff and he went out, so i might be misremembering the details but I'm sure thats it. If you can't identify it you can give me recommendations similar to this, thanks frens...

>>18478995
It's well worth it. Amazing frag with amazing performance.

>>18479116
>Which version do you mean? Acqua di Giò Parfum came out in 2023.

They reformulated the 2023 version in 2024 and made a tiny change to the bottle design too.

>>18479127
Oh shit, thanks for the heads up!

Just checked and sure enough it’s the 2023 design and a 2023 batch code. Now I need to find a 2024 version dammit.

Well good to know, probably explains while it felt so mid.

>>18479133
The 2024 release is still mid.

>Boss Bottled Triumph Elixir
Working through a sample. Candied violet leaf opening into a very heavy but rather pleasant patchouli middle. Once the base vetiver starts creeping in, there's the feeling of a hedge frequently visited by cats that I can't shake. Ruins the overall scent for me. None of the modern BB line has impressed me so I think I'm done with Boss.

Is it normal for your nose to acclimate to a frag after a month of continuous use? Granted I spray very conservatively (one spritz on the back of the neck) because I work in an office but it still feels lacking in intensity from when I first bought it.

>>18479154
>but it still feels lacking in intensity from when I first bought it.

>>18479154
It's normal after using the same fragrance continuously. You should give your nose a break and wear something else if possible.
