What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo

>>18479481

Any good JScent recommendations?

Got a friend currently in japan and I was interested in the brand + they are just like 35$ in japan compared to the 110 here in the states so I thought I'd ask her to bring everything that interests me since I could always flip the ones I don't like anyways for a profit.

>>18479509
nope, all of it is slop

Tonight I layered Kouros with oud fragrance oil. No more toilet smell. No more pee smell.

>>18479511
Did you try them out in japan or like a scent bar type store?

>>18479514
ew, no
why would anyone do that?

>>18479397
I've seen uglier bottles and they ain't made by Arabs.

>>18479500
martial arts in the /fraggot/ general?

>>18479516
kike

>>18479483
He has to list it because it's an allergen and it has a tiny amount otherwise you couldn't pour it out the bottle, but it doesn't have 80%+ alcohol like a perfume. I was going to tell you to buy the Attar but I see it's sold out, I'm wondering if I should have bought a backup...

>>18479523
it's the first thing in the ingredient list which means there's more of it than any other ingredient

>>18479509
get him to buy di ser instead

What leather fragrance should I buy?

>>18479549
>ELDO Rien
>Gucci Guilty Absolute
>HdP 1740
>Nasomatto Duro
yw

I woke up at midnight, sprayed Dior Sauvage and fell asleep again

>>18479526
That tells you nothing when there are 25 listed allergens and likely dozens of other ingredients. If it had any less alcohol you couldn't pour it out the vial. When compared to an Eau de Parfum like the similar L'oudh the viscosity of the Attar perfume oil looks and performs completely different. That's all the blurb was saying.

>>18479549
Never think of it as a leather scent myself, but Fahrenheit (EdT). Or Iron Duke.

>>18479555
Oh please tell us more, we're so interested

>>18479549
Ombré Leather
Tuscan Leather
Godolphin

I can't find my signature frangrance. I just buy bottle and samples over and over until I burn my parent's allowance and bedrot like a virgin unemployed loser. No i'm actually a virgin unemployed loser. And I'm bi. And autistic.

How can i be happy?

>>18479610
>How can i be happy?
not through buying perfume, that's for sure. or chasing some ideal of a perfect "signature fragrance", which doesn't exist

>>18479610
touch grass, buy kouros
that's it

>>18479550
>>18479609
mostly I am considering Rien and some Tom Ford style leather
the former is more interesting, but I'm not sure when I would wear it out. seems like the kind of fragrance people would despise. maybe I'll just get a decant for solitary sniffing

>>18479613
I ordered a dupe of it without the cat piss. I can't order it anywhere in my country and the shipping costs much more than the fragrance
>>18479612
You have recs if i like ambery woody notes?

>>18479617
>I can't order it anywhere in my country
grim

who of you faggots is shitposting on basenotes

Is amber basically camphor?

>>18479622
No. Amber is a broad category of sweet and resinous materials. Camphor doesn't smell like those, it is more fresh and minty

>>18479616
Maybe just get those maison alhambra tom ford clones or ombré leather or tuscan leather.
Just to mess with it.

>>18479622
No amber have a sweet and a bit spicy nuances while camphor is minty almost eucalyptus like but both are in oriental category

>>18479610
You will never find something perfect like anon said >>18479612. Your signature fragrance is just your favorite until something else comes along. If you're poor get a patchouli oil attar and that will be your signature until you find something to replace it. I stopped buying samples, I blind buy something than waste my money on a discovery kit with 8 things I'll dislike. It makes sense starting out but once you learn what you don't like you can gamble on stuff you might like.

>>18479623
omfg

>>18479621
Not me but he's right. People are too easy on companies shipping unfinished products.

>>18479627
Thanks. I'd consider that.

just bought this
my favorite perfume, i love it so much
i dont need anything else

this smells and performs so fucking good bros, what PDM Layton wishes it could be

>>18479621
All the maceration/maturation/masturbation/menstruation shit is so obnoxious. It's just these Middle Eastern slop houses being money grubbing fucks. Stealing someone else's work is one thing, selling it to people when it's not even finished blending is another.
They release something that sucks cock, and people are just like "nah bro it's gotta menstruate just let it sit bro I swear it's 90% accurate eventually bro"

>>18479670
"yeah bro the opening smells like industrial cleaner but I swear once it drowns down the pthalate notes really come through and it smells 73% like the real thing at only 120% of the price per ml. Praise Dua!"

lol fag

>>18479549
I just bought ADP leather, I'll let you know how it is once it arrives. I also checked Guerlain cuir intense and it's pretty good, Tom Ford ombre leather is a bit too sweet heavy and dense for me. I also saw a release from mont Blanc called intense leather and it's rather cheap. So why don't you try that and report back?

Y EDP review

A precise mix of Sous le Pont Mirabeau and Invictus parfum. It has that aromatic, laurel-like, savory/salty aspect of ELDO's creation (with less marine notes, but still feels like a siren coming out of the salty see, under the scorching hot sun, covered in algaes) and the soapy (as in bar of soap) and bubblegummy feeling of Invictus Parfum.
Also it definitely has that Blue Fragrance DNA.
Not sweet.
I don't get apple, but I do get ginger. I get amber as well, perhaps.
Kinda universal perfume, I don't see it being restricted to certain prerequisites. Maybe not for winter. And it's not a clubbing scent like some people say , but it can work in that context easily.

Eau Givree review

Literally smells like sage leaves you just mangled with you hand, with all the facets of that specific smell.
I mean, really pleasant and all, but not something I would wear.

Versace Man Eau Fraiche review

Stereotypical summer perfume. But not in a bad way, mind you.
very citrusy and fresh and clean and invigorating.
So pleasant.
Nothing unique, but it hardly matters.

>>18479463
Etruscan Water

MYSLF Eau de Parfum review

Light , sweet and very smooth, somewhat barbershoppy smell, especially in the opening.
Gently floral + gently citrusy.
Steamy, aldehydic, or lactonic.
Some sandalwood.
Some faint Incense stick.
Totally safe. Maybe too much.

Reminds me of a wedding white shirt.

>>18479761
desu i was a little disappointed with EW. i had high hopes for it, but during a blind test it wasn't my favorite from the house. Tyger Tyger, Code of Emotion and Veloptuous Oud were my top choices

>>18479788
Dunno
This one I only tested it on a strip, same as the Hermes one

>>18479807
>I only tested it on a strip
Oh, so, you haven't really tried it then, OK.

>>18479788
it's a citrus fresh EDT. what do you think the longevity is gonna be?

I want to wear a fragrance with cumin but I'm scared of being mistaken for armpit stank...any good recs?

>>18479815
then don't wear a cumin heavy fragrance, there's no way around the armpit stank

>>18479816
I haven't smelled the note yet. Any close comparisons? (Aside from armpit stank, 0fc)

>>18479817
pencil shavings

>>18479815
Cumin doesn't smell like BO to me, even real cumin just smells like the seasoning used for taco meat to me.

>>18479815
African Leather
L'Air du Desert Marocain
Tango
Oud Abramad

>>18479815
YMMV but Quorum and Experimentum Crucis both have a prominent cumin note that gives them a BO stank. There are other frags that have the BO stank but cumin isn’t a listed note (like Pasha de Cartier Parfum), so it would only be speculation on my part, but I’ve seen others comment on it as well in reviews, so I don’t think it’s just me.

>>18479822 >>18479823
Thanks. I've seen in review cumin smells like Indian food lol. I have an idea, i think it comes as peppery - spicy to me. I say this because some note smell diff to me, like coriander is too aldehydic for me instead of lemony like people describe

>>18479823
>Quorum has a prominent cumin note that gives them a BO stank.
no it does not

After a few wears I am sorry to say that I do not particularly enjoy Encre Indigo. I mean it's fine; it's a tea-based freshie with a little bit of citrus. But I find it dry and boring, and the iso e-super dominates too much. The rest of the EN line is more balanced with the inky, dusty vetivers (original), incense (extreme), or citrus (sport). Encre Indigo just has no character. Shame, it's the only one from the line I will not own a bottle of.

>>18479823
>it's another episode of the "notes list equals ingredients" amateur hour
Oh boy.

>>18479854
lalique never made a good fragrance

Has anyone gotten to try ADG Profondo EDT?

>>18479879
I bought a bottle a few weeks ago. It's a nice, clean scent, very similar to ADG. It has a more stringent, sour kick in it. It's not better than ADG, but it is good.

>>18479879
Not sure why anyone would want a weaker version of an already weak frag but I guess they're running out of ideas for the AdG line.

>>18479892
Because it's a nice scent and inexpensive, as far as good scents go.

>>18479894
Since it's a new release, it costs more than the Profondo, but it's a weaker version.
Makes no sense to me.
Just buy the Profondo and spray less if you like it but think it's strong (it's not strong).
Stop rewarding companies that churn out slop and charge a premium for it.

>>18479896
>Stop rewarding companies that churn out slop and charge a premium for it.
It's relatively little money to me, so I'll do what I please. Maybe if you went back to school and got a better job you wouldn't feel the need to seethe about someone else buying it.

>>18479900
>It's relatively little money to me
in that case, use your money on a better product than some cheap freshie lol

There’s a great deal for Guerlain Vetiver Parfum in a boutique near me. Should I go for it or hold out for the EDT?

>>18479996
Go for it, the EDT has a sticky quality that I really dislike. The parfum smells better to me.

If you want to smell like pistachio ice cream with a hint of rose then this is you

I tried Jo malone fragrances at an airport, I really liked a few of them. There's one that smells like roses and that's how I want my gf to smell.

Also there was a lady nigger passing by screaming "Joe mallowne, Joe mallowne" which I found amusing, those animals crave attention. And Chicago is so full of niggers, even the ones that "work" at the airport are useless pieces of shit. They are loud and annoying. How do Americans cope with that?

>>18480074
Have you tested myrrh and tonka?

I want to try Gentleman Society Extreme.

>>18480077
Yes, I spent most of the time I was there in the shop. It's sweet, dense and pleasant. I don't know how much I would wear it, though.

Most, if not all of the fragrances are completely unisex, I enjoyed poppy and barley, red roses, blackberry and bay, and lime and basil the most. I can easily see myself wearing those daily as a middle aged man.

There's also something like oud with roses, but I don't like oud, I don't understand the hype.

ohh
I think I'll try poppy and barley, I'm intrigued by the notes.

any alpha males in here who wear this frag?
it’s giving big dick Chad energy how is the dry down? Will I smell like an arab if I only lightly spray this

thoughts?

>>18480122
Why did you ask anything about Emir Voux Zingy if you still bought it despite the strongly negative response?
Surely you didn't just hope for someone to validate a decision you had already made and then ignored any negative opinion?
>>18480124
>am I an alpha male if I wear this
If it makes you feel confident, sure.

>>18480153
overpriced slop

>>18480153
It's a very smooth well done oud that will get shit on here because it's PdM, but like all PdM it's WAY overpriced (just like all of these masstige brands). I think it's worth ~150. Not the 300+ they ask for.

>>18480124
Antaeus isn't actually challenging or controversial.

SOTD: Khamrah Qahwa
I regret I bought it because it doesn't smell like coffee at all. The coffee notes are too weak. The original Khamrah was way better.

>>18480181

>>18479996
the edt is better

>>18480092
the hinoki and cedarwood was also quite nice, although you can't really tell from the notes since it only lists those two but testing it i was impressed

>>18479996
what's the rush? test both when you get the chance

>>18479996
Always go for the EDT with Guerlain.

>>18479926
yes, >>18479725 has a reddit opinion

do people smelling you actually like the smell of vetiver

>>18480222
Men like it, women don't

Can anybody explain to me why people say Kouros smells pissy? It smells like my finger after it's been inside of my gf's asshole. It's more fecal or musky than anything.

>>18480222
Don't care. I like it and that's all that matters.

>>18480229
Well, if you overspray it.

Saw zoommettes at Sephora buying Dior Sauvage for their boyfriends today. Why does Sauvage mog BDC so much when it comes to women's preference?

Fuck you. I am the most based person here. Suck my fucking dick.

>>18480251
Dad, go to bed. you drank too much again.

>>18480250
Are you sure it's not for their dads?

>>18480183
I hope he gets married soon. I hate his hedonist lifestyle.

>>18480229
it smells like a urinal cake to me

>>18480250
Sauvage is stronger, louder and usually cheaper. BDC is inoffensive to a fault, Sauvage is spicy and can get normies excited

>>18480250
Yes, Sauvage is the Chaddest and most sex haver perfume of all time. BDC is extremely bland and nondescript.

>>18480250
Sauvage is the new Drakkar it is based mysterious, sezy, and for pussy destroying Chads of all ages that's why one bottle of Sauvage was sold every three seconds in 2021, meaning 4-5 milly a day in revenue

>>18480251
no, I am. Kill yourself bullying victim nerd loser shut-in

>>18480295
I don't like Sauvage not because it's overrated, I hate it because it's so popular among Indians.

You just don't get it, as low-income people on this board rarely do. It isn't a zero sum game for me. I can use my money on Creed Aventus AND Acqua di Gio. I don't have to choose. I wish I could donate you some money so you could go buy a clue.

surely I can't make fun of such an affluent man for buying useless slop flankers...
carry on, give more money to L'Oreal like the good paypiggy you are. I'm sure everyone is very impressed with your ability to spend 50$ on a bad perfume, an amount of money that is unattainable for mere mortals like myself

Any other stanky scents like Salome’s Papillon?

>>18480325
it's popular everywhere, you can't escape it

I love smelling like pool water

i wanna smell like sweet juicy grapes. dont care how feminine it would be. shill me a frag

>>18480300
This reeks of:
>I blind bought top rated designer fragrances the internet told me to buy because I have no taste and can't stand criticism.
Is Prada L'Homme Intense next?

>>18480522
I’m assuming it’s a clone of Megamare?

>>18480546
yes

>>18480528
I’m assuming you mean you want to smell like what most artificial grape flavored things taste like, in that case The Most Wanted Parfum has some strong elements of that. Mousse Illuminee is a much more complex fragrance, the heart has some grape-like elements, but it’s not the star player. Pineward’s Sturbridge also has some grape-y elements.

If you want to cut to the chase you can just buy straight up methyl anthranilate, AKA bird repellent, which smells and tastes like artificial grape.

If you want to smell like an actual vineyard, with grapes on the vine like you pictured, fuck off, you’re a moron.

>>18480528
>Parfum d'Empire Salute
>Strangers Parfumerie Magenta Pop
>Rogue Mousse Illuminee

which one of you femanons is this

>>18480564
>femanon
>that chin
choose one

>>18480473
yeah

>>18480546
yes, and it's better than atlas

Has anyone tried this? does thid smell closer to Kouros or Lapiddus?

>>18480430
well you clearly can't buy taste that's for sure

>>18480222
I don't care about compliments but encre noire is my most complimented frag.

>>18480181
>>18480183
Coomer mutt was just another one of twinkstalker's gimmicks. His posts get almost instantly deleted now in /frag/ for some reason. That's why he doesn't post here. He still spams 4chan almost 24 hours per day, every day. He's posting in that wf/am thread on /fa/ right now.

>>18480620
I have a bottle of the oil, it smells like an '80s powerhouse in the same vein as Kouros, but it's more mellow and playful.
It doesn't have the lemon oil/urinal cake note, it' s not very stinky, and it rather smells of honey, patchouli, and a bit of yellow flowers.
I haven't smelled Lapidus PH but judging from the notes list I'd say it's the closer of the two.

>>18480620
I couldn't stand it, doesn't smell anything and I mean absolutely anything like kouros or Lapidus. I threw it away, it's just that bad. Fucking waste of money all the arab shit.

>>18479900
so why ask for others' opinion then? just get it if it's worth so little to you.

>>18480528
there's that one dunhill frag that apparently smells like grape soda but I don't remember what it's called

>>18480797
Dunhill Icon, but it's discontinued now anyway.

>>18480528
Mousse Illuminée has a prominent grape accord at the beginning

Trying to find a signature summer frag. Narrowed it down to this list which im going to sample. Should I add anything?

Neptunes Trident
Dolce Melodia
Pacific Chill
Pacific Rock Moss
Side Effect
Mefisto
Hacivat
Torino 24
J'adoube

I got a bottle of Victoria Secret Very Sexy for Him. The listed notes are quite interesting but I can't smell any of them, except for maybe tangerine on the top, herbs in the middle, and a bit of clean musks. I think that's partly due to the sweetness that turns all the notes into a linear scent. It's quite a nice scent but the performance is atrocious. Right after spraying it on it feels like you only get part of the scent and have to look for the rest. As someone who enjoys mild performance this is quite nice for me, very relaxing. When compared to Ralph Lauren Romance for Men or Kenneth Cole Black the top notes with the tangerine/mandarin are similar, so much so that I thought VS had ginger notes. They are all very youthful fresh fragrances, with Romance being the longest lasting, cleanest shampoo smell. VS feels a bit less juvenile and doesn't smell synthetic to me. I want to keep trying VS to see if I can pinpoint the listed notes but it's probably just marketing fluff. I like VS, it lets me smell good and clean without nuking myself and losing myself.

>>18480609
In what respect? Which one is the most accurate dupe?

/Frag/ do you ever have bottles just spontaneously leak from around the vaporizer? Not like a blow out, like old pressurized bottles do as they age, just leak as in you pick up your bottle and there’s a ton of juice under the cap and around the spray head?

>>18480853
oh i get it. sure, it's just a part of getting older, don't worry abou tit.

>>18480853
Yeah, the old bottle of D&G Pour Homme I bought leaked around the neck after each spray. I threw it in the trash and nothing of value was lost.

>>18480325
What do you like? Because it's probably equally popular with Indians

My dad is wearing the Aramis I got him. Not for me but it suits him perfectly.

>>18480564
That's a fucking man, you tranny freak enabling faggot. nyaja

>>18480840
I've never smelled megamare but I had a bottle of atlas last year and it would just give me a dizzy headache from either the salt or ambroxan. it just sucked. megara smells like a chlorinated pool with a little bit of woodiness and watery freshness, like you just came out of the pool and you can smell a little bit of a cologne you were wearing. megara isn't as pungent but lasts all day, and you'll smell yourself with 2-3 sprays practically all day.

>>18480533
this reply reeks of
>I blind buy whatever niche or 80s drug store cologne is the current meme amongst the contrarian shut-in nerds. I'm so counter-culture and against what's popular as a cope because I was never popular growing up, I was always an outcast bullying victim. OMG IS THAT DRAKKAR NOIR I'M THINKING LE HECKIN BASED if normies love it I hate it

>>18480889
You sure showed him

I really like the smell of ginger in fragrances and am looking for something with that note for the summer. Anyone have a recommendation where the ginger is at least a little pronounced for the heat?

>>18480920
I’ve never even smelled it but Ingenious Ginger by Goldfield & Banks is pretty popular.

>>18480915
good because contrarianism is fucking gay
SOTD: Sauvage EDP

>>18480920
Have you tried this? I don't know if it holds up, but I used to wear it as it teen and it was nice. It's cheap but it doesn't last long. I wouldn't get it if you're looking for a mature and sophisticated scent. It's a youthful and playful fragrance.

>>18479509
Black Leather, Honey Lemon and Paper soap

Polo Blue Gold is my favorite ginger frag, smells like you have daddys money at a good price
YSL Y if you want to level up a bit, the ginger mellows with apples but it's still a nice scent

>>18480920
honestly YSL L’Homme or L’Homme Ultime are still pretty hard to beat

YSL Myslf edp smells better than 66% of niche slop.

Most animalic fragrances out there? I like the animalic side of Kouros but I don't like the other half which is more floral or "perfumy".

pretty nice

>>18480528
Bogart Silver.
No idea how it took five replies for this to be mentioned.

I really need someone here to tell me something that smells better than this.

>>18481055
Check out Sacred Scarab by Zoologist. Smells like a masculine man fresh out of shower

>>18480966
I tested this last year, I remember it being too screechy citrus in the opening but the rest is actually good. I find it too generic for me though.

What's a fragrance that can get you laid?

>>18480920
Eau de Protection by ELDO is a good fresh rose and ginger fragrance. it may lean feminine depending how you feel about rose

>>18481055
maybe Cuoium?

>>18481115
no fragrance will ever get you laid
do you ever smell perfume on an otherwise unattractive woman and think "damn, I should totally have sex with her"?

>>18481115
Whatever makes you feel confident enough that you can look and feel confident and generally pleasant to be around of.
>but abstracting from the wearer, what's a frag that will make most girls think, wow he smells good
Sauvage EDT.

>>18481115
Drakkar Noir but that was in the past. My dad said he banged mom in the printing office because she whiffed it from him

>>18481124
Is Sauvage EDT that good?

>>18481126
perhaps your mom was just easy in general

>>18481128
No, but it reminds girls of Chads, sex havers, and sex because that's what the Chads who fucked them wore.

>>18481189
So that's why Indians wear Sauvage.

Does a man in his early 20s need anything more than Dior Sauvage EDT and Paco Rabanne 1 million?

>>18481193
Something respectable?

>>18481192
be a saar, wear what you are

>>18481193
Those are the favorite clubbing fragrances of balding Millennials.

>>18481055

Also more wearable but equally stanky, Salome

You fucking retards will make me regret buying Kouros and I have not even recieved it yet.

>>18481115
anything as long as youre already attractive. i had a girl tell me i smelled like sex back in highschool wearing something as basic as a&f fierce

i need a no-brainer, affordable, sporty, fresh, touch of sexy fragrance i can put on for anywhere, any time of the year? this exists?

>>18481235
When will we replace Antaeus with Platinum Egoiste in the holy trinity?

>>18481292
Sorry, it was meant to be >>18481283
Fuck this faggot bullshit.

>>18481319
Some handsome Chad that she fucked probably wore Fierce, so that's why.

Is it true that this smells like a more unrestrained Antaeus?

>>18481121
yes

>>18481036
Thanks yeah Ultime is really what I want but it wasn't good enough to pay $300 for now.

>>18480966
>>18480922
>>18481003
>>18481119
Going to check these out too thanks. I think there was some LV slop that is supposed to fit this niche too but I assume nobody here likes or recommends that.

>>18481336
smells nothing like antaeus, more like toilet cleaner

>>18481292
it's this week's drakkarfagging
next week it'll be kenzo pour homme

>>18481329
kenzo pour homme

>>18481074
I think this is ultimately too clean and too soapy. The Dior Original DNA that got Iris into the mix for men was more interesting. I would pick Dior Homme Original. the one with the yellow juice and the "original" on the front. or the actual original bottles from way back. That's my recommendation for other people. My personal favorite clean Iris freshie is Givenchy Gentleman EdT. The black cap clear bottle black label. the original one that everyone forgot. It's Iris + Pear and it's the best smell on Earth.

>>18481348
coincidentally my sotd yesterday. but it won't be popular as it's been discontinued some years ago.

I got samples and here's what I think

Enclave - Amouage - Velvet / Vetiver Rose + Mint. Really nice like a velvet jacket with a good bit of freshness for quite a while. Soft warming effect from the patchouli in the heart. I think this can technically be worn anytime, but I think it works better when its cooler. It reminds me of Guerlain Homme from the mint, but the body here is "purple."

Journey Man - Amouage - A lighter fresher fragrance with a top that's full of spices and a body that's full of spices. This is a really nice and interesting fragrance for getting work done. The top is light green from the mix of bergamot and sechuan pepper, but smoothed out from the cardamom and neroli. It's a very cool effect that's does fresh modern but also old school throwback at the same time. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone under 30.

Colognise - Nishane - A very very classic cologne but with more layers. The smell at the top reminds me almost exactly of 4711, but after you spray it you get the Tea, Vetiver, and musk layers that make this stand out. I think this is an excellent no-brainer for literally any guy. It's also like Mugler cologne if That had more levels to it.

Still need to try Dia man, Honour Man, Overture Man, and Wet stone by Amouroud

What's with the Dior Sauvage baits recently?

>>18481329
Dylan Blue

what is happening here

Criminally underrated imo. Best cheap fougère I've owned, hands down.

>>18481380
>>18481433
Darwinism. Sadly it’s being resolved on the next generation instead of the previous.

>>18481437
Pretty sure it’s commonly recognized as a great, well performing, affordable cheapie. Ain’t it?

>>18481437
What is the best fougere you have owned without the "cheap" caveat?

>>18479494
Your blackheads and double chin rather point to your poor diet and you probably use a bad shaver, literally know nobody else who has problems with fragrances, you are the problem factor here

>>18481451
Not him but:
>MDCI Le Barbier de Tangier
>Heeley Cologne Officianale
>MFK Maskuline Pluriel
Are the best i currently came across, still search for better fougeres tho

Thinking of grabbing a bottle of this for going out, parties, and the like.

I love citrus!

How'd I do?

Bad, should have gotten Al qiam gold instead

>>18481570
I love Dior Homme Cologne. I overspray to keep the photorealisic lemon around as long as possible but I enjoy the cool white musk that hangs around after and leaves a great trail.

this is phenomenal, waiting for cooler fall just so that I can use it
min dahab is even better but hard to find

its one of you guys, isn't it?

>>18481713
No, we're all Indian here.

Sonya is driving to mf border that's what

Just blind bought Encre Noire

Updated my fragrance shelf by swapping out some less used frags for some classics.
Whatcha think Frag?

>Into storage (AKA the closet)
Bois Imperial (too loud, and don’t care for the basil, prefer Ganymede)
Burning Barbershop (The mint note that I loved has faded since I bought it)
Desert Rosewood (No good reason, I like it, just don’t reach for it much)
Etruscan Water (Too loud for every day use)

>Added to the tower
Lalique Lion
Zino (Modern bottle, still fantastic)
The Dreamer (Vintage and modern bottle, vintage for home, modern for filling travel spray)
Paco Rabanne Pour Homme (Vintage and modern bottle, vintage for home, modern for filling travel spray)
Azzaro Pour Homme (Vintage and modern bottle, vintage for home, modern for filling travel spray)

>>18481828
>Bois Imperial
>into... the closet
Checks out.

>>18481828
>Azzaro PH
Is it good?

>>18481837
The performance is pretty bad but the scent is classic. I’ll enjoy both the vintage and modern versions but likely not replace either when finished.

>>18481828
how's penguin? Zoologist is one of my favorite niche houses. I like civet and koala and own a bottle of t rex

>>18481851
Fantastic. Opens very cool and fresh, dries down to a mossy leather scent. I thoroughly enjoy it.

>>18481437
Smells like dryer sheets and pine sap.

i don't think Man Eau Fraiche even has a drydown. it goes straight from 90 minutes of starfruit into nothing at all. kind of a letdown even for a freshie

>>18479996
The EDT is better but I hate how light it is on me. I think if it came down to both then I'd rather go for the EDT as it's more interesting, but if you already like the parfum and see a really good deal I don't think you're massively missing out.

>>18481828
Is vintage Dreamer better than the modern one?
