>What truly special fragrance would you wear to your own wedding?
This is kind of a weird question imo, and it depends how you interpret it, but it seems like a lot of people save frags they really love for special occasions, and I don’t do / don’t like that. If I love a fragrance I want to wear it regularly, not just on rare special occasions. So if I do actually wear something ‘special’ for an occasion, it’s probably going to be something that I like but not love, because I don’t wear it often.

But to actually answer the wedding question…

t. noselet

>>18499306
I think I'm sick and tired of the amount of amber/vanilla-labdanum in modern frags.

>>18499307
At my lab I have a collection of Spanish and Cretan Labdanum, they smell wonderful, especially the Spanish variety. I think you can achieve a very interesting ambery paper dry down when you strategically use some Labdanum and fir balsams, I think it’s also a very nice floral and leather modifier.

Got a bottle of Givenchy Insensé. I thought it was a bit overrated at first (it is) because the sharp florals give a very cleaning product scent. Once it settles down however I can see why some people rate it so highly. The opening shifts a lot, from citrusy to purple florals, it's all a tiny bit sweet but never too much so. The mild sweetness just complements it like what you get from juicy fruits and fresh flowers without feeling excessive. As the notes develop and shift there are some that are great and some that are less so. I can't pinpoint exactly but there is some sharpness that feels a bit cheap and a little much. There is however this creamy elegant floral note with the smallest amount of powderyness that is very elegant and relaxing. It's the best parts of each listed flower note, the fresh verdant bloom of lily of the valley, the intoxicating syrup of magnolia, and the powderyness of iris. It all becomes one. Thankfully after shifting between its different notes the fragrance does settle into its best one, helped by the fir to give it some relaxing piney scent. Insensé doesn't scream brutish masculinity but at no point is there ever a question of its masculinity even with the strong floral notes, it's quite confident. It's probably best suited for a cool spring day but I would love to try it on a cozy Christmas night. It's very comforting. It reminds me of the Escada PH I mentioned on the previous thread because you have to endure some outdated smelling notes before getting to the fantastic elegant base. The performance of Insensé is quite decent but does not meet modern expectations. The projection is decent at best for a couple of minutes before becoming real personal. It lasts a couple hours but it's definitely something you can smell on yourself but would not reach those around you. It's a bit more sophisticated than I am but I can see someone wanting to be known by this scent.

>>18499315
TLDR?

>>18499313
I'm sure you can achieve that, and I like labdanum, I like a moderate amount of vanilla, I even liked Grand Soir the first time I smelled it, but that amber accord is everywhere nowadays, that's what I'm sick of.
On a somewhat related note, what do you think is a good balsamic fragrance, something that doesn't necessarily smell realistic but that really has that fir/camphor/menthol/thyme quality that opens up your nose?
Or more than one, if more than one come to mind.
Please and thank you, I'm really enjoying your recent contributions to this general xoxo

>>18499313
>when you strategically use
and that's exactly where modern slop fails, they churn out more of the same old boring (and probably cheap) amber crap

>>18499315
>>18499316
>TLDR?
Masculine floral with fantastic base note after you endure the outdated heart notes. Many such cases.

P.S. Forgot to mention that while it's not listed there is a prominent muskiness to the floral note which is probably what helps keep it masculine and comforting.

>>18499326
I think the perception of what Amber encompasses has vastly shifted in the past few decades, especially with the relatively recent introduction of Super Ambers such as Ambermax, Ambrocenide, Amberxtreme, Norlimbanol Dextro etc. Despite having Amber in the name, they couldn’t be further from it. I see it as a self fulfilling prophecy. Amber fragrances especially (although other types have fallen victim too) are expected to have extraordinary longevity and projection, and the easiest way to achieve this desired effect is with an overdose of superambers. Fragrances such as TF Myrrhe Mystere with 4% norlimbanol dextro, 5% ambercore and 5% cedramber are emblematic of this trend, The end result is a very woody fragrance, which in turn leads to large amounts of vanillin, ethyl maltol or ultravanil being needed to counterbalance the driftwood notes to skew the fragrance in an ambery direction. This process shifts the perception of amber in the eyes of the consumer, who especially nowadays has a particular fixation with the longevity of fragrances. This is glaringly obvious in the briefs I read, where above all longevity and similarity to whatever product is dominating the particular niche of the market is being requested. A traditional amber accord is comprised of the following materials: vanillin, benzoin (Siam) and Labdanum. fragrances that contain resins such as Tolu and Peru balsams, Opoponax, Labdanum, Benzoin and Myrrh can call themselves “real” amber, everything else exists in an in-between state. In regards to what I believe to be good amber fragrances, I very much enjoyed trying Ambra By Santa Maria novella and Ambra avrea by Profvmvm roma

What does MYSLF smell like? I hear everyone say it's one of the best designer releases in recent years

Contd.

In regards to some more camphoraceous and herbal fragrances that still possess a balsamic core, I think you can’t go wrong with CdG Zagorsk or Ambre nuit by Naomi goodsir. Another very interesting fragrance from the same brand is Or du Serail which structurally speaking has a lot of things in common with Hermes Ambre narghile, and Nuit de Bakélite for something greener.

>>18499331
Unfortunately, that’s what the consumer base largely wants. Realize that most people that purchase fragrances don’t have the same refined affinities as someone who holds a serious interest in the subject, to them it has to smell ambery and be strong, and if those two boxes are ticked, they spend money on it. I could list countless examples of fragrances that fit exactly this description and have had immense commercial success, the aforementioned Grand Soir is one of them. As soon as a new amber fragrance worthy of being copied comes along, the market will adjust.

not surprising to anyone with a functioning brain but still grim as fuck

Every day I hop on here just to see if perfumer anon has said anything new and every day I fall in love a little bit more. Can we please get married? I will be a good wife. Pinkie promise.

>>18499355
Neroli bomb + woody, lavender-like drydown. It smells ok, nothing groundbreaking.

>>18499355
it smells like a completely focus-tested, AI-designed slopblob of non-descript generic freshness

>>18499383
Sounds pretty good, I've been looking for a dumb reach frag for all occasions. How's the performance? I refuse to spend money on anything with poor longevity and projection

>>18499385
It's surprisingly long for a neroli fragrance. I got about 8+ hours of noticable projection, after a day the sillage is quite noticable on clothes. as for occasions, I'd say it's versatile. But it's not a safe blind buy. I haven't smelled the Absolu version but some say it's much better.

>>18499350
>This is glaringly obvious in the briefs I read, where above all longevity and similarity to whatever product is dominating the particular niche of the market is being requested.
This validates my perception of the mainstream consumer.

When it comes to what companies request do you think they always get what they pay for? I'm curious if you look at some high end stuff and think they got screwed and if there are some small brands that got more value than they paid for.

>>18499391
>not a safe blind buy
Really? I thought it was one of the most inoffensive recent releases. How can neroli and lavender ever be controversial

>>18499393
For me, at least. It's too generic for me. But if you like an elegant neroli fragrance it's a solid choice.

>>18499381
My favorite part is that he's not a schizo or attention whoring faggot. Just a chill dude dropping facts from the inside. I also appreciate that even the undesirables don't come in and scare him off.

Who cares, im going to blind buy it this week

>>18499410
Which frag?

>>18499392
When you’re a small brand, you get what you pay for: If you give a Perfumer an interesting brief and enough time to properly develop a fragrance, you’re going to get something wonderful. Meanwhile, if you want a standard fougere for example, and you don’t properly invest in having it developed / give a short deadline, what you’re going to end up with is just a repackaged framework that certain specificities delineated in the brief have been bolted on.
On the other hand, if you are working for a big brand, the fragrance will go through countless iterations and rounds of testing until the marketing team you are cooperating with you is completely satisfied. That means, in their eyes at least, they get their moneys worth. In some instances, they are sufficiently content with your creation and just accept it. Most of the time tho, you have to change certain aspects, tone down certain notes or rebalance certain accords to make the fragrance more palatable to the general consumer, or at least according to the tastes the Marketing team believes the consumer to have. In my eyes, this is the part of the creative process where some originality and creativity is stripped away. In the end you’re still creating a product, even if it
has artistic value.

>>18499427
I mistakenly believed that they had a released a fragrance by that name, it remains a failed brief for now, probably forever.

Is there honestly a single frag aside from BI that is
>extremely versatile: literally usable for all situations, all weather, night or day, gym, dates, anything
>beastmode performance

>still manages to remain an interesting scent

After ordering a bunch of samples, I'm in love with The Tragedy of Lord George. Might replace Polo as my winter frag

>>18499460
>it remains a failed brief for now, probably forever.
Ah, what a pity then. I'm a fan of the brand, Bois d'Ascese is one of my favorite smoky/amber/labdanum scents.

Don't forget to make a thread ;)

The posts here seem like baiting most of the time

What is your favorite FB size? For me, it's 30ml or 50ml if 30ml is not available.

>>18499482
30ml (especially if it's not too expensive /ml compared to a full bottle)

>>18499482
I'd buy these sizes but with most of the stuff I buy the 100ml is so discounted it ends up being like 10% more expensive than the 50ml

what frag evokes the sense of the end of summer? melancholic, wistful, dry...

>>18499356
>Myrrhe Mystere could smell much more like driftwood and much less like vanilla if anyone at TF Beauty had good taste
Huh, what do you know...
>camphraceous, herbal, balsamic frags
Thanks a lot for the suggestions, though this is the second time I get doubts about the meaning of "balsamic".
What I mean by it is the penetrating, sharp, kinda medicinal, cooling sensation caused by smelling camphor, menthol, eucalyptol and concentrated thyme oil.
Burning frankincense, which as far as I understand is a balsam, has the same effect, though maybe less so - it's still sharp and penetrating but it doesn't feel quite as cold; still, the sensation is similar enough that I categorize them together.
Some frags I found to be quite balsamic in this sense are Aesthete by Le Galion, La Liturgie des Heures and many other frankincense-forward frags.
But I've had another qualified person tell me balsamic refers to a honey-like scent, soft and slightly sweet, and based on your recommendations I get the impression that you too use the term in the latter sense - Zagorsk is somewhat sharp and cooling, but the rest are definitely not, and in my mind balsamic has nothing at all to do with amber.
What's up with that, what does the term mean in this context?

>>18499464
my bottle has 10% left. Been a good 2 and half years

>>18499503
Maybe, but that was not in the criteria. It's still versatile
There's also of course the other Bischbomb, Kenzo Homme EDP

>>18499464
Sauvage EDT is even more of everything you mentioned than BI.

>>18499529
It's not interesting.

I wish I could get into those akigala bischbombs like BI/Kenzo EdP. Does anyone know if other Kenzo releases tone down that note? Maybe the current iteration of the EdT?

wtf. encre noire l'extreme is even more of a skin scent than the original one. or i guess my skin just isn't compatible with this. anyway i would've preferred more aromatics. is there anything similar but with more aromatics?

>>18499550
Encre Indigo might actually work for you, since it has more aromatics and it has ambroxan in the base whereas classic EN is an iso E super base.

>>18499531
BI smells like mosquito repellent

>>18499567
More like coca cola with a hint of blue cheese, noselet

>>18499545

>>18499550
Assuming it's a new bottle, give it a few weeks and come back to it. All Lalique frags are notoriously week out of the box but they do improve. Sucks but that's just the way they are.

Why do women love this shit

Can anyone speak to the quality of the most recent version of Polo green (the one with the new bottle shape)? I know vintage is always better, but I'm curious how this 2024-ish reformulation compares to the 2010s version.

kill yourself

>>18499641
SORSD is really not that great. I wouldn't even pay 70 bucks for it. If it's actually a good dupe of Imagination then that makes Imagination complete dogshit and the most overrated fragrance of the decade

>>18499628
>not buying decants
what a faggot

>>18499355
Citrus off the top, then sweet floral chamomile like, amberwood drydown. Similarities to laundry detergent but not in a bad way, floral and clean. I like it a lot as daily driver. It is somewhat unisex, if you want a tradionally masculine scent this isn't it but it isn't a full on feminine fragrance, it definitely has male fragrance elements. Some people will call it generic but before this release floral men's fragrances were out of the spotlight for at least a decade, now other designers are making their own orange blossom floral fragrances. It's not challenging but if your goal is to smell good than it accomplishes that very well.

>>18499580
>Try Sel'Dissey
I may do that. I like the 'salty' driftwood aspect of the Kenzo but I want it balanced with fresher notes. I still don't pick up the leather people are talking about.

>>18499482
I'm always shocked by how tiny 50ml bottles are, they are so cute so I really like them. Even 60ml and 75ml are small. You have to get to 100ml for them to feel like normal sized.

>>18499684
How do you know you're not getting a dupe when you buy a decant?

>>18499700
stop buying slop that is dupable

>>18499702
>slop that is dupable
Literally the definition of the LV you replied to. I guess the answer is you are 100% getting dupes.

>>18499612
The bottle I bought in 2022 wasn't great, but my newer bottle from 2024 (the currently formulation I believe) is vastly improved.
Obviously it lacks the oakmoss of the vintage, but it's still a potent green pine tobacco frag that is a mainstay for my winter rotation.

Anons, is there a perfume family that you get all the flankers because you like and appreciate all the differences?
The closest for me is Allure Homme. Pedestrian yes, but the only one I don't like is CAHS (there's something in the musk/orange interaction that is off). I even like the sample of superleggera, and think I'd have ended up buying it if I could.

>>18499717
Encre Noire is one where you might as well own them all

>>18499705
i'm not that anon. i wouldn't spend a single cent on LV.
>>18499717
closest i've gotten was lapidus pour homme, had all but the gold one. that was before the one in 2023 was released. i only kept the OG.

I am about to spray this 13 year-old bottle on me, will update how it smells

>>18499738
I have a bottle of Cool Water from the 2000's.

>>18499742
How's the smell? still the same?

>>18496326

Thanks to the anon in the previous /frag/ thread for the recommendation to pick up Lataffa's Al Nashama Caprice as a replacement/alternative to the now-discontinued YSL La Nuit De L'Homme. My (absurdly gaudy) bottle arrived and while not exactly the same, it's as described: very similar and with better projection and duration. I love how it smells and, like LNDLH, it smells great on me. Thanks!

>>18499751
Don't know what to compare it to since I haven't smelled the newer ones. I wore it to school back in the day and the girls said I smelled like an old man.

>>18499762
>>18499738
>>18499742
I sprayed it on my skin and on my shirt. It smells the same as the Cool Water I sampled before in Sephora. Except the top notes has become quite stronger. The first whiff has the quality of the smell of hot rubber/plasticky stuff. The sea water notes is faded compared with the mint and lavender. I sprayed a few times to see if there's difference, on skin the mossy/green and geranium notes are more noticeable. It's way more denser though, probably because of maceration. It's been 30 minutes now and the projection is still good. On my skin it burns a bit, as expected for a very old juice.

>>18499609
because the aventus dna smells good which is why there are 500 clones of it and youre just a jaded snob

>>18499723
Why? Original and extreme are very similar. Sport is a real twist though.

I don't think BI has very remarkable projection or longevity anyway, and wanting something too potent is very Indian behavior.

Bros... I'm about to blind buy YSL Myslf...

I have come to the realization that most of my regrets in buying fragrances is the bottle size. for me 50ml is the sweet spot for versatile fragrances, while 30 ml for niche or heavier ones. Anything 100 ml is dedicated for the ones that I really like and I'm willing to use as my signature.
>>18500241
Not a bad choice.

>>18500245
would

>>18500245
50ml is for regular perfumes you spray 2-4 times each time you wear them.
100ml+ is for fresh scents you need to spray at least 8 times per application.
The unfortunate part is you'll never know until you get the bottle so just buy the 50ml and if you run out of it then you know you have to go for the 100ml.

>>18500241
I blind bought it and have zero regret.

I’ve always found the structure of Dior homme quite puzzling to say the least. Structurally speaking the fragrances aren’t out of the norm; all of them are built around the modified grojsman base of IES, Galaxolide and Hedione with some wood modifiers such as Vertofix and sandalwood molecules. (As are almost all fragrances today)
The Iris portion is mostly made up of varying Ionones (Alpha isomethyl ionone, Ionone beta, Irone alpha) in that order, with trace amounts of Orris butter. What really perplexed me was the amount of sweet materials, coumarin and vanillin. In my experience they lend a more feminine effect to floral compositions, giving a pronounced powdery, sweet effect usually only encountered in older women’s fragrances. I find it very interesting that such a classically feminine composition has garnered such widespread recognition as a classic men’s fragrance, this is definitely very much in line with trends I have recognized myself, those being the de-categorization of perfumery. Nowadays many fragrances are made for everyone to wear, instead of solely being confined to being worn by one sex.

>>18500267
Yeah the success of Dior Homme was pretty impressive, it spawned copycats as powdery iris suddenly became popular with men
But for whatever reason nowadays Dior is moving away from iris with this line. I'm not sure if it's a change in fashion or trying to keep down the formula costs?

>>18500241
Which one?

>>18500241

If you consider the original came out in 2005 that is quite unique and interesting for the time. The problem is what came after.
>In my experience they lend a more feminine effect to floral compositions, giving a pronounced powdery, sweet effect usually only encountered in older women’s fragrances.
That is true for people who experienced those old lady fragrances but I don't think that is the perspective of younger people today.
>I find it very interesting that such a classically feminine composition has garnered such widespread recognition as a classic men’s fragrance, this is definitely very much in line with trends I have recognized myself, those being the de-categorization of perfumery.
At the point where we are today "masculine" fragrances are even more feminine than those that were considered women's fragrances in the past. You can rerelease a Fendi (1987) or Ivoire de Balmain (1980) and they would be considered very masculine by today's standards.
>Nowadays many fragrances are made for everyone to wear, instead of solely being confined to being worn by one sex.
They are not made for everyone, they just don't want men feeling guilty about wearing a fragrance marketed for the opposite gender. They market feminine fragrances as "for men" or "unisex". There is no marketing of masculine fragrances for women. It's also not a temporary trend, there is no going back. It's an arms race to sweeter and sweeter fragrances because that is what makes the flavors and fragrances industry the most money. They get to sell the same product to multiple markets and reduce their costs.

>>18500503
Nice outfit match. Wish I could stick my nose in your chest rn

Samples came in today:
1) TF - Fougere Platine: Metallic Fougere. Lavender and vague metalic notes. I think this was discontinued and I understand why. It's not particularly sexy or alluring. It's more of a scent oddity. Wouldn't wear.

2) TF - Tobacco Oud: Burnt cigar tobacco with a chocolate and oud backing. Surprisingly light despite the notes. It's okay but not particularly great. People online have said they love this stuff, but I don't see why. It's a soft tobacco- that's it. It's no surprise the tobacco when to Tobacco Vanille and the Oud went to Oud Wood. Both are better and more interesting combinations.

3) Acqua di Parma - Buongiorno: Citrus and florals. Clean but not soapy. Lavender and Musk in the body. Opens similar to Torino 21. Absolutely not worth $300+. Mugler cologne is still the best for neroli opening. 4711 can't be beat for citrus+florals and Nichane Colognise is the best citrus Musk i've smelled in a long time. That musk actually holds.

4) Guerlain - Patchouli Paris: Very nice patchouli and chocolate. Smooth and sexy. I think this is unisex. The only problem is the price tag, but if people are buying TF stuff at full price and the airy synthetic dogshit at LV, then this is just an upgrade.

5) Comporta - Dapper: Green herbal and fresh opening (cucumber + tomato leaf) into an earthy woody body and base. This one is very interesting, but it smells like a fresh pungent vegetable garden. Smells healthy. It smells like a tomato vine. Not the berry but the green chlorophyll vine. Very interesting smell.

6) Zaharoff - Signature Pour Homme: Lavender and Cypress with black pepper gives it a sharp woody floral opening that goes down to oud+rose+vanilla in the base very slowly. It's technically a very good men's fragrance.

I really don't like the type of sweet or gourmand frags that are common during the cold season. I tried many of the highest rated fall/winter frags and I just can't deal with the sweetness. That means even in winter I wear mostly fresh frags. Not aquatic fresh, but still fresh. Are there any cold season frags you could recommend to me, keeping in my mind my issue with sweetness?

I don't usually name names because I buy discontinued stuff that few are interested in.

Encre Noir has really grown on me over the past few weeks. It had a very basic smell with a "plastic pen handle" undertone at first spray, which now has turned into a rich inky vetiver with cold milky/lactonic notes. Ahh, I love it.

I don't really use fragrances (a rotation between a mid no name chypre, egoiste platinum, guerlain l'homme ideal and azzarro pour homme), but I recently bought a perfume for my wife (chanel chance eau tendre), and got some assorted samples.
One was for versace eros energy. OK, not much of a fan for citrus, but not a bad opening. But once it started to dry I got this disgusting smell. More than a smell, a feeling. And then it clicked.
Years ago, I tested Dior sauvage. and I found it bad, but never thought much of it (ok, something for young people, whatever)
Now with this thing, I can now pin point that I have smelled the same pepper-musk/ambroxan-resine accord a million times from random crowds (from whatever arab dupe)
Supposedly, Eros Energy has some inspiration from Aventus. Is this true? Is this dry down similar or in the same "family"? if so, how the fuck is this shitty thing popular?

I can understand the existence of all the sweet fragrances, but this is obnoxious.
Just returned from a small dinner date with friends, and I can't not notice this "accord" everywhere now.
What is the worst smell family, gourmands, or ambroxan bombs?

>>18501362
you could also, you know, not buy aventuslop

I think the greatest difference Between Aventus and Absolu Aventus lies in the opening, with the base notes being mostly the same (musks, Ambrox and Pyralone) Comparing the two we can observe that the original top notes are built using Bergamot, pepper (pink and black) as well as some pineapple materials, with the pineapple accord in Aventus being made up of Allyl Amyl Glycolate, Manzanate and Allyl Heptanoate.
Meanwhile, the newer version has modified the top by using Bergamot, the two peppers, Methyl Pamplemousse, Citron Oil, Ginger, Allyl Amyl Glycolate, Verdox, Manzanate, Lavandin Grosso, Melonal, Neryl Acetate, Dynascone, Allyl Heptanoate and Triplal. Both fragrances feature similar notes, with the difference between the two mostly boiling down to introducing new molecules to modify the opening, making it both greener and juicier. My familiarity with Aventus stems from the fact that I have been tasked on multiple occasions to recreate certain aspects and introduce them to new formulas. I’m sure everyone here knows how popular the Aventus DNA has been this past decade. I think it’s a shame that there is so little innovation in the field of fresher citrus based fine fragrances, especially because I know of ways to bring new life to this particular facet of perfumery.

>>18501362
Give it to me

Huh, in the end I'm happy I didn't blind buy MYSLF as I said I would since I tried both the EDP and parfum on my wrist 30 minutes ago and I'm pretty hesitant
The EDP starts off pretty generic and very slightly reminiscent of Bleu Electrique and dries down into a neroli freshie that is pleasant but I'm on the fence about it
The parfum is much more neroli forward, it gets very soapy and not in a meme sense, it smells like actual neroli soap in the drydown

Both are good and actually interesting for designer frags but I'm still not sure if I want to get either

>>18501381
I looked through the formulas posted on this website, they are relatively simple to make and should get you in the ballpark of whatever fragrance they are trying to copy. Obviously they won’t get you super close considering how simplified they are. Visually speaking they remind me of marketing formulas released by DSM Firmenich and Givaudan to show how their new molecules can be used in accords, I’m assuming it’s also the case here considering the formula you sent contains 3 proprietary bases with the logo besides them, and all materials linking to the store, that’s also what the aforementioned companies do. They are interesting but look somewhat like a marketing gimmick to sell more molecules and naturals, nonetheless they are a good starting point, just be aware they won’t smell like the original, more like those Arabian copies everyone on here discusses so often. If you’d like to know what’s actually in a fragrance, get a GCMS report.

The image attached is one of those firmenich marketing formulas I discussed earlier, it’s very similar to the one you posted in that it’s mostly marketing.

I was at sephora yesterday and tested it because of the mention in the thread. It was quite nice and if you like the citrus floral profile it would be an easy buy, but it is quite simple and generic. I also sampled Prada L'homme Intense which was also very nice and not as generic, but I just found it to be too clean and crisp. If you want a more mature and refined masculine floral check that one out.

Thought on the new formulations of Light Blue?
Honestly disappointed with the Homme version but the standard version ('for women') is really good, light and fresh, with a noticeable apple note.
It's stayed fairly true to the old formulation, while amping up the performance, while the Homme smells like a new fragrance to me, and much more generic freshie.

It's my cousin's birthday in a couple weeks.
Do I just get him some cheap freshie like Phantom from a discounter because I know he'll likely use it for work? I don't like him enough to buy him AHS or anything like that. $60 is my upper limit here

>>18499580
>Assuming it's a new bottle, give it a few weeks and come back to it. All Lalique frags are notoriously week out of the box but they do improve. Sucks but that's just the way they are.

Go to the mall and smell it or buy a 2ml sample for $12. It should last you 2-3 days or a week if you're a light sprayer.

Yeah that's my problem with it, it remains generic.

It may not sound human, but it is grammatically correct English. Textbooks teach this stuff - maybe anon is an English major.

"Fresh outta the shower" with "outta" being a contraction of the words "out of"
Generally speaking, people will confuse "outta the" with "out the" which is incorrect. (This mistake is attributed to "outta the" and "out the" sounding so similar)

Speaking well is something we should all strive for.

That being said, OP is fucking cringe for being the grammar police. No one cares about semantics unless it’s in a court of law or it genuinely alters meaning in the given context.

1) L'Instant de Guerlain
https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Guerlain/L-Instant-de-Guerlain-pour-Homme-EDP-44763.html
Winter woody with a dry cocao backing. Not sweet, but very open and airy wood and cocao / patchouli. Excellent frag.

2) Hermes Rocabar
Fall / Winter. Airy open woods. Not superdry like pencil shavings. Dry like not sweet. Bit of florals to round out the edges. This is a classic; really nice.

3) Gucci Guilty Absolute

Aggressive leather. No sweetness. Leather with spices, patchouli, and smoke. It somehow ends up being fresh instead of heavy. Great in the cold.

Hi, I'm looking for recs about good vetiver frags.
So far I've tried:
>Encre Noire
Great, love the hint of cypress, though it's more inky than I'd like in the beginning, and the vetiver is a bit flat.
>Terre d'Hermes
Great, but I'm looking for something with more vetiver, less pepper/citrus/assorted spice and not necessarily as professional.
>Grey Vetiver
EDT is too citrusy-metallic-fresh, EDP is great but like EN the vetiver is a bit flat and two dimensional, even if it's more prevalent, and Parfum is oddly fresh, the vetiver seemed less than in the EDP the one time I tried it.
>Guerlain Vetiver (older, tall and narrow bottle)
Old person's house; I tested this years ago and I don't remember the details, but I distinctly remember there was something beyond the vetiver that smelled old, like the moldy air accord in Reve d'Ossian.
>Sycomore
Great, nicely floral and deep, but I'm not going to spend €250 for 75ml of juice, and I can never find this on souk.
>Molecule 03
It smells like vetiver the same way mint popsicles taste like mint.
>Fat Electrician
Great, but much sweeter and softer than what I'm looking for, I'd like a more raw/simplistic/unadulterated vetiver.

I'm going to see if I can find someplace to try Sultan Vetiver, Vetiver Extraordinaire, Vetiver d'Hiver, Ex Vetiver and TdH Intense Vetiver, is there something else I should try?

I work in a clinical analytical chemistry lab and do a small amount of GCMS work and just can’t imagine there’s enough volume to make standards, method development, and what not profitable, but I also know little to nothing about the fragrance industry so I could easily be wildly wrong.

What do you mean?

No, not at all. There’s nothing lactonic about it.

It’s basically just a very well performing freshie scent. The intended profile, according to ELDO, is that it “just smells like clean skin” and I’ve had two different people on two different occasions say that’s exactly what it smells like without any prompting from me.

Even with discounts vuittonslop is overpriced.

I need light and airy fragrances so I'm intrigued.
