Anyone tried Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille or Initio Rehab? I’m looking for a good vanilla scent.

is it good for fall/winter?

>>13623594
Its great all year round but it will be nuclear in the winter.

>>13623600
You have that backwards. A scent can't be overbearing in winter (unless you overapply) and if it's overbearing in winter, it's definitely overbearing in summer

>>13623534
Peeps
What is your favourite fresh scent?

Gayest scents you can think of? Asking for a friend.

>>13623756
Dylan Blue
Secretions Magnifique
Aventus (only guys would compliment me on this)
Bond No. 9 Fire Island

>>13623665
No I don’t, It thins out very quickly in the heat and dissipates fairly evenly so it still smells good but the silage is worse. but in the winter it remains a heavy strong cloud and the silage is that of a chad miasma. The heat will dissipate scents faster than the cold. This frag in particular is good in summer but you have to be careful not to over apply in the winter.

>>13623753
I don't like Fresh frags.
Dior Homme Cologne.

>>13623753
Polo Blue EdP
It has character and depth comparable to Acqua di Gio Profumo at about half the price.

>>13623756
Fahrenheit is pretty gay. It really doesn't get much gayer than a leather-gasoline musk.

these batch code people are fucking psychopaths. i understand aiming for a certain year-range/formulation but their made-up placebo shit about different batches smelling drastically different is so cringey

>>13624001
Leather and Gasoline is masculine you homo.
>>13623756
Now Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, now thats a gay frag.

>>13624060

Mugler Cologne

Just bought me some Pure XS, I love this fragrance on my skin, but why does everyone else hate it?
Does it just not work for their skin? Are they buying frags to impress other people rather than wearing it for themselves?
Also Prada L'Homme or Dior Intense?
I already had a bottle of Intense but it broke, I loved Intense and would def buy it again but I recently tried Prada and I'm a sucker for powdery frags. I think Prada might be more powdery than Intense is.

>>13624487
Prada is a nice soft scent good for summer, but turns into a soapy smell under 20°C. DHI is a powdery lipstick annoyance, if you want a better fragrance instead of DHI go for Valentino Uomo Intense

What was your summer perfume lads? I want lots of compliments in the heat!

>>13623594
It's my winter scent, wear it daily to work, two sprays is enough, sometimes 4 if I have freshly washed clothes

Doesn't seem overbearing since I haven't had any complaints or anything so I really don't get people saying it's way too potent

It will last forever on certain clothes tho, like a jacket

If a girl likes you you can also expect her to tell you you smell amazing in it, EROS makes puss wet bruh

>>13624556
>Vui>dhi
lol
>>13624487
Buy both maybe, they're not really in the same category of when you'd wear them.

>>13624135
fuck you

>>13624449
a lab on fire, masque milano, bruno fazzolari, other brands at this volume of production and distribution

>>13623541
eau de cologne was literally invented by and for men. napoleon and english kings during the colonial period wore herbal and floral fragrance all the time

I'd like a year round office frag but can't decide between Allure Homme Edition Blanche, Polo Blue EDP or Grey Vetiver.
I've only sampled Blue EDP, but the other two sound like safe choices.

@13624608
fuck off

Thoughts on Noir De Noir?

>>13623534
Opinions on pic related? Flatmate introduced me to it, lent it to me a couple times, got great reactions.

>>13625209
My toughts are dont turn your back to him.

>>13625209
Do you sometimes wake up with a sticky asshole?

>>13625209
You can usually find it on sale bundled with some poppers for a good price.

>>13624986
All 3 are amazing.
I'd say buy decants and rotate like a boss.
I would have picked GV btw because I love it.

>>13625373
M8, have you ever gotten your dick sucked on poppers? Feels good man.

what would yall recommend for a heavy smoker? been loyal to pure malt for a long time now but i want to try something different. i really like TF's tobacco oud but i'm keeping my options open

>>13623753
Creed Silver Mountain Water

>>13625430
One day I was sitting in a lecture before class started. Someone came in and sat 2 seats next to me, all I could smell was that disgusting ash. Only thing that could have overpowered that was maybe 20 sprays of Interlude.
So maybe try Interlude, which happens to be my SOTE.

>>13625094
I like it but I wouldn't wear it.

Out of curiosity, anyone ever hear of a site called fragrancex.com?

>>13625475
What is it that makes you not want to wear it despite liking it?

>>13625234
>>13625278
>>13625373
Kek, thx m8s

>>13625524
Too feminine, if you're a girl go for it, I think it's great. The PBs in general I feel like are more for older people too.

>>13623534
I just got platinum egoiste and I love it, should I get bleu and AHS too?

>>13625490
Yeah, I haven't used it before but my brother has. The CdG 2 he ordered was legit so I don't think they are a scam

>>13625607
>>13625094
>Too feminine
I thought Noir de Noir was fairly masculine, especially as far as the classic Rose+Patchouli combo goes. My problem with it is that it's too dressy imo to use very often

>>13625607
Thanks. I’ll try it if I find it on Monday. I’d heard mixed things about the “gender” of it.

>>13625640
I’d heard that it was the rose in the opening that gave people the impression it was feminine, but the dry down is masculine.

Should I buy Noir Extreme or go to a prostitute? I am unironically considering the options.

>>13625636
I don't use cologne or anything, but I used to work for them.
For this anon's sake, don't buy from them.

The manager's a closet homo who doesn't treat his call center employees right.

Thoughts on this? Tried at a department store and fell in love should I cop? Anyone have this

>>13625894
Pretty reliable fall/winter scent. If you like it, buy it.

>>13625490
Yes, and before you ask, they're legit.

>>13625726
poor LARP

YSL Y; y/n?

>implying i give a fuck what everyone else in the elevator thinks

>>13625894
Get 1899 instead.

Just ordered my first cologne boys, l'homme. I just purchased the small 1.3 oz bottle for $58. Did I do good? I'm planning on using it for this date with some girl I have next weekend. How many sprays should I use? I don't wanna be one of those old ladies that reek/put on way too much shit. Thanks bros.

>>13626201
pleb af

>>13626201
2 sprays on each side of the neck if outdoors, 1 on each if indoors

1 on chest if you're gonna fug later

>>13626201
Uhh YSL L’Homme or Prada L’Homme?

>>13626279
Lacoste

>>13626206
bummer, well OK. I read some of the reviews online, seems like most people like it.
>>13626238
thanks man, will do! I am actually planning on fugging, well, I think oral sex is at least guaranteed as long as I don't fuck things up big time, which considering this is me we're talking about, I might very well fuck things up. Anyways, I'm meeting this girl I met on r9k for the first time next weekend and I'm just doing as much as I can to increase my chances of making something long-term happen. Pic very much related.
>>13626279
YSL L'Homme. Honestly had no idea there was a Prada L'Homme...

>>13626306
Ah, I love YSL L’Homme. My first frag and signature scent. Copped a vintage pre-2009 batch too for a steal. But I think the newer batches of L’Homme smell better. You can honestly douse yourself in it and no one would care. Check out the deodorant too, smells very nice.

Also, how did you guys get in contact?

>>13625209
I like it a lot. It's not as strong as Sauvage but it's half the price and a more complex fragrance.

>>13626319
Great to hear, feel much more reassured now, thanks dude. Really interested in trying it out, never sprayed shit on me before in my life.
>Also, how did you guys get in contact?
We actually ran into each other twice on omegle using the r9k tag, within like a span of 2-3 months. She talked about being a bit lonely, missing out and so I asked if she wanted to hangout sometime. Surprisingly she said yes, been planning on meeting for nearly a month now. Really hoping she doesn't cancel but I realize it's a definite possibility. I'm nervous as fuck, going to be spending an entire day together, I'm an autistic robot so I'm mostly just worried about keeping the conversation going and not being a complete autist, should be interesting bros, been looking forward to this all month. Pic related is one of her best pictures.

>>13626341
Yeah man you can’t go wrong with L’Homme. You can get a minimal rotation going with L’Homme and La Nuit de L’Homme that will fit all occasions. You can even add L’Homme Ultime, La Nuit de L’Homme Electrique, L’Homme Cologne Bleue in there to spice it up for ANY occasion. Man, I love L’Homme.

>that girl
>/r9k/
Id tread lightly, not putting any negative thoughts out there. But man it looks like you struck oil considering she’s a Robot. As a fellow social autist, I wish you all the luck.

>>13626201
>ordered my first cologne
>actually an eau de toilette
What did you mean by this?

>>13626341
well good for you, anon. i was expecting much worse from /r9k/ (unless you have enough ugly for the both of you)

>>13626379
You know what he meant, you fragrance autist.

>>13626377
What if you only had to go with two? Will la nuit de l'homme and l'homme ultime would be good?

>>13626399
Yeah that will definitely work.

They’re all beautiful scents. I literally love L’Homme and L’Homme Ultime from the bottom of my heart. But in my opinion L’Homme is more versatile than Ultime and would suit La Nuit the best. If I had a gun to my head and had to choose between L’Homme and L’Homme Ultime, i’d choose L’Homme. But that’s just my opinion, go test em out frend!

>>13626377
t-thanks bro. I still feel like it's not gonna happen, but she hasn't canceled yet. She always replies to my messages as soon as I send em, that tells me she's at least somewhat interested.
>>13626381
I don't think I'm the ugliest guy around, but I'm nowhere near chad levels. I'd say I'm average, maybe a tad bit above average, I'm just socially retarded I think.

>>13626341
>r9k
I went to that board for 2 days and it depressed the fuck out of me. I think it's the most depressing part of the internet.
I then got buzy in my academia and frequented /fit/ but they're autistic too.
Then I tried /fa/ which sometimes comes up with good threads but I'm a /frag/ regular since 3 months.

>>13626428
I hope you’ve gotten timestamped pics. Preferably nudes to confirm lack of penis.

>>13626201
>30ml
>58$
Friend you can get the 100ml for that price. Anyways good luck with the girl but dont post pictures online man..

>>13623534
Guys how to test if my Versace Pour Homme is legit?
I'm going to get this from someone. He told me it was airlines complimentary gift.

>>13626622
Here's the bottom, which says not for sale.

>>13626622
You smell it.

>>13626622
>>13626737
I dont know, its hard to tell but mine has a more deeper blue bottle. Im not sure anymore but I think the glass itself should be a shade of blue, yours seems white. Also the original stays on for at least five hours straight, if yours goes away in under 3h, then sorry m8

>>13626825
Too many dudes like this in the frag community, no idea what they're talking about and spouting their bullshit like gospel. Faggots like this guy are the reason reformulation autism is a thing. The bottle is supposed to be clear and longevity is mediocre at best. Just sniff it, if it smells like the real thing you're probably ok because the bottle looks fine.

>>13626853
I guess its all subjective, my man :)

Anybody in the U.K. ever bought from The Perfume Shop?

They’ve got a buy one get one half price sale on. Just wondering if they’re any good.

>>13626922
Never bought online but they've got shops all over the place so I imagine they'd be legitimate.

>>13626933
Thanks, I did actually look at a store locator on their site since posting and the nearest one is 20 miles away.

>>13626922
Yes. They're fine.

>>13626985
Cheers, mate. Probably out of stock for the things I want knowing my luck.

I was wearing Sapientiae Lemonice today (sprayed each side of my neck around 7AM) and got a compliment on it literally 9PM after a hug, so I guess it just doesn't project at all, but stays forever as a skin scent.

I was wearing Sapientiae Lemonice layered over White Musk for Men today (sprayed each side of my neck once around 7AM) and got a compliment on it literally 9PM after a hug, so I guess it just doesn't project at all, but stays forever as a skin scent. I don't know if the layering helped with longevity at all, but I guess that's possible.

My favorite!

Does Eau Sauvage project or last a decent time?
Also, how good a clone is HiM compared to Gucci PH II?
I'd get a 50ml bottle of PH II but I'm scared I'd burn through it quickly.

>>13626737
>not for sale.
it probably says that because it was sold to the airline to be used exclusively as a passenger gift. the fragrance itself is more than likely fine as long as you think the guy is telling the truth

>>13626922
Are people so paranoid (and stupid) that they are questioning long-established stores with real-life location as being scammers selling fake fragrance? This is getting worse than the muh reformulation autists

I thought Dylan blue would be an ideal mix between BDC and Sauvage and become a full bottle worthy scent, but it smells like lynx.
I fell for the meme, no homo.

>>13627110
HiM, to me anyways, is more of a winter take on GPH, although I feel like you would be still okay in just lukewarm weather. Lot heavier on the cinnamon and tonka and wood notes. Imo I actually think I like it more, especially since it actually lasts worth a damn

Anybody tried any of Zara's mens fragrances? Been hearing and reading good things about them.

>>13627275
all I heard about them is dont bother

>>13627275
Got a friend working there, so he always has some samples lying around. For the price they are alright, as in from the batch I smelled none smelled bad (and I'm very picky when it comes to fragrances). At the same time none were particularly interesting, they are copies of popular fragrances such as Polo green, La nuit de l'homme and Spicebomb but with a note or two substituted or removed. The biggest drawback to all of them and, in my opinion, the reason to skip them, is they have zero performance, Axe deodorant would probably project better.

Tobacco Oud’s a bit fucking much isn’t it? I’ve only had it on for thirty minutes but it’s a bit overbearing.

>when people say your cologne is 'okay'
Excuse me but this is a niche designer frag and you better show some respect bucko

>>13627441
I’m new to fragrances but I’ve quickly come to realise there’s no point in wearing niche fragrances if you’re only interested in compliments. I’ve got more compliments from Versace Pour Homme than I ever have with Oud Wood.

>when people say your cologne smells nice
>but you're actually wearing an eau de parfum
What did they mean by this?

>>13627377
the opposite for me. if I spray in the morning, it's gone by afternoon. so gotta reapply every 5 hours or so. do you like it so far?

>>13627450
Because Oud Wood sucks dick.

>>13627499
It’s not for me. It has merit, but I can’t think of a single instance where I’d want to wear it. And even if I did, there are more pleasant fragrances in my collection.

>>13627503
Why? It’s one of my favourites?

Has anyone had Guerlain Vetiver? thoughts...

>>13626149
How does 1899 compare to Spicebomb Extreme?

Lads I'm a 25 year old uni student and going on a date tonight with a literal milf yoga instructor/esthetician who is around the age of 40. What do I wear?

>>13627497
They’re not autistic.

>>13627007
No worries, Mr Bond. They don't seem to carry much stock, or at least they've told me a couple of times I've bought the "last one" of something. That might be because they always have some sort of sale on, or just pure marketing psychology.

>>13627577
La nuit

>>13627577
United Colors of Benetton Hot

>>13627551
Smells a bit like after showering with olive soap, the drydown is godlike earthy goodness with a hint of wet animal fur. It's a simple frag, but classic for a very good reason.
My favourite take on vetiver, and i've tried pretty much everything as vetiver is my favourite note. It might smell dated though right now.

>>13627577
Dior Fahrenheit or LNDLH 10 sprays.

>>13627653
Gonna pick it up soon. how many sprays suited you? I had TF'S grey vetiver and it was good but just wouldn't last. it was really weak. Guerlain was strong af when I tried it

I know the general concensus on wearing frags to an interview is no, but if I felt confident enough, what are some good interview frags?
I got my current job with a test spray of Sauvage lingering on my shirt when I tried it out if that's anything to go by.

>>13626922
Fuck off!
>>13627258
Trust your nose, sample and test.
>>13627275
Normal frag: keep 5 ml decant
Zara: keep 12 ml decant
Spritz spritz spritz...
>>13627450
Oud Wood isn't good to my nose, neither is Tuscan Leather. I'm more of a Tobacco Vanille and Grey Vetiver kind of guy.

>>13627673
Wear 14 sprays of kouros

>>13627677
At least we have Grey Vetiver in common. I’m possibly buying TV on Monday, but I’m not 100% so I might buy another sample before I spend that much.

>>13627558
I never tried Spicebomb extreme but I own both regular Spicebomb and 1899 and there is absolutely no difference whatsoever between them. They are identical, so go with the cheaper one.

>>13627673
Mr. Smelly and her GF told me to get Dunhill icon or John Varvatos Artisan Pure or ADP colonia essenza(clear bootle one).

>>13625726
Yooo dude I interviewed for them for a summer internship in may. Met Ron and everything. How was your experience

>>13626052
No he's serious. I went to their company before it's super small. There's like 6 software engineers

>>13627761
>6 software engineers
Why would they need so many?
What are they even doing?
The website looks like it was made by one guy who had no idea how web development works.

>>13627788
It's literally everyone sitting in one medium sized room. The customer service girls are there too. Everyone has gaming headsets and nice chairs. CEO is a cuck. I'm assuming he has money to blow and most of the engineers don't know shit or just wagecuck.

>>13627761
>>13625726
so two people in this small general on a slow 4chan board have personal experience with a small grey market internet-only fragrance seller? highly doubt

>30
>hanging out with a girl you like
>walk into a makeup/frag store
>have to pretend like you aren't interested in frags for an hour
Life is hell

>>13625894

It's good but doesnt last long. I would get the extreme version

I bought a knock off burberry touch today. It's not so bad. Also, i splashed a little bit of spice bomb on my arm while trying out. The cinnamon smell is too strong dammit.

>>13627670
2-3 is enough for me. It projects strongly for 6-8 hours and i can smell it on my skin pretty much until i shower. On shirt it lasted 2 days.

I want a long lasting strong powdery scent, what should I go for?

>>13625894
Its great to filter out potential mates. People react strongly to the smell of cinnamon, either positively or negatively.

>>13627801
>most of the engineers don't know shit or just wagecuck
That's probably it, because I work on something that's a thousand times more complex that fragrancex and we're only 4 devs.

>>13625721
jack off and get a cologne

>>13627673
Molecule 01

>>13627961
Speaking of this, has anyone tried using it to enhance frag projection? I heard that a layer of it before a frag could increase sillage but I haven't given it a shot yet

>>13627817
I think you need a 200 ml bottle of Dylan Blue to boost your confidence pal

Cuba gold and nothing else.
Cheap yet I get pussy every party I go.

>>13627868
DHI

Tobacco Oud poster from earlier here. I’ve just had a couple of glasses of whisky with dimmed lights while listening to Tom Waits and I think I’ve found the perfect use for this fragrance.

>>13627815
That's why I was surprised. You can doubt lmao but I'm not lying. I have no opinion on their site I've never used it. I didn't end up getting the internship but the company was just kinda weird to see. Idk if they're grey market since I haven't bought cologne from any shady places out fear of fakes.

The other guy might be lying though. He hasn't replied so I have no way of asking him about it to verify if our experiences were similar.

My father just started using prada l'homme and dior sauvage. What are the next affordable meme scents I should try since these went down the boomer hole?

There’s a difference between nuboomer and zoomed ya boomer

Some time ago I buy this fragrance. When I used it I heard things like "what smell of gay" from random people in the local. No problem, but this was not the image I wanted to pass. Sweet fragrance is a woman's thing? What fragrances is more masculine?

>>13628978
Fuck the haters, wear what you wanna wear
t. wears Chanel Allure

>>13628989
>wear what you wanna wear
I agree with you. However I don't know what to use, this is the problem. Is there some chart of masculine fragrances?

>>13629010
buy Sauvage. You dont need more than that.

>>13629010
>masculine fragrances
daily reminder there is no such thing as "masculine" or "feminine" fragrance

>>13629010
Do you wanna smell like a prosecutor?

Is it appropriate to wear Tuscan Leather indoors? It's winter here, and I was thinking of wearing it to a fancy dinner.

i NEED Dior Homme Parfum

give me one reason why i shouldn't buy a 30ml bottle of aventus

i already went through frag addiction and sold about 20 bottles but i still want aventus

>>13624608
>If a girl likes you you can also expect her to tell you you smell amazing in it, EROS makes puss wet bruh

this. i used to wear this with a girl i was dating, sometimes she would just put her nose against my neck and smell it

>>13629348
It doesn’t matter what season is if you’re indoors. If it’s hot inside it will choke people out if you put on more than two sprays. I’d say one on the next and one on the chest. No more.

>>13629353
I used to think the same way until I bought a bottle of Aventus and regreted it because I've smelled this so many times before and it's really mainstream. It still smells good and will get you compliments but I don't really want to smell like everyone else.

>>13629355
My girl does that for every frag I wear, though her favourites are GIT, TDH and L'artisan Parfumeur's Timbuktu

>>13629358
>don't really want to smell like everyone else

One good thing about living in rural England is that most people here smell of manure and incest so when I’m out with CH Men Prive or Noir Extreme I stand out. Even with Sauvage it’s not overdone because nobody here wears it.

>>13628041
I can't use DHI, it's like heroin to me

>>13628583
You should try coach for men then

Is Creed a good entry level niche house? all autism about batches, history and the like aside, I think some scents like OV, Aventus, SMW, VIW and Santal would be interesting to try out

>>13629454
Yeah.

Is there something natural smelling for men? Everything for men seems to smell like Chemical explosion

One cologne gets me 10x more compliments than anything else: Bleu De Chanel

Seriously, that shit is some kind of miracle worker in my area. Sauvage gets a few compliments but I have the best luck with Bleu. Even have a half bottle of older aventus and it doesn't even get the compliments Bleu gets for whatever reason. But what works in my favor is I live in a very poor area, so the most cologne that men usually wear around here is cheap department store shit (less than $40-50), polo, Axe/Tag "spray", etc. Also get a lot of compliments on The One by D&G

Is Le male a watered down fuccboi scent or is it something I should consider getting for casual use and work when it starts to get cold?

>>13629846
Don’t people typically recommend Ultra Male now? I can’t vouch for it, but I read that the Le Male reforumlation is one of the worst around.

>>13629765
edp or edt?

>>13629865
Le Male reformulation is the worst meme. Got vintage bottle, 2013 bottle and 2017 bottle and they all perform the same.

>>13629917
Fair enough, like I said, I can’t personally comment. I know people are too quick to cry “reformulation”, but from what I’d heard it sounded like it was a legitimate instance of it being worse.

>>13629883

EDP for the Chanel. I have the EDP Sauvage too, also have some vintage Sauvage, but both rarely get compliments compared to Chanel. Chanel is really popular among middle-aged ladies, they always say something about how nice I smell. Younger women don't seem to notice it as much, so it might just be cougar bait.

Tomorrow I will be buying the following:

Tobacco Vanille
Spicebomb Extreme
Ultra Male
Sauvage EdT
Mont Blanc Individuel if I can find it, which is doubtful.

Do you think there’s any point in buying Spicebomb and TV though?

Absolute noobie when it comes to this shit. Got versace pour homme and tres nuit pour homme yesterday as they both smelled good to me.

>>13629981
>Mont Blanc Individuel

Why? Did you get jerememed on?

>>13629988
VPH was my first. Great choice. Shame the ideal weather for it has passed in this country, but I always enjoy wearing it.

>>13629989
It was recommended by three people here about a month ago, so maybe indirectly.

>>13629981
Did you try them or blind buys? Seems like money is not an issue so maybe try Herod, it's pretty similar to SBE. But both of them are sweet tobacco scents so I'd pick the one I like most between Herod and TV. Ignore the guy about mbi it's a good scent. No point in paying 5x for santal.

>>13630019
Tried them all but Individuel, which I hope to try tomorrow. It’s so cheap it’s no great loss.

I’ve heard about Herod but never tried it. I’ll see if I can find it, but I’m not holding out much hope.

Thanks.

>>13630024
All mainstream and good choices. You'll not regret, Jeremy has great nose.

>>13625469
Agreed. It smells like sophistication and slow sex

>>13629981
>Is it worth buying the 2 only good frags on my list?
What the fuck is wrong with you? Those are the only 2 worth buying.

>>13630058
Except I also love Ultra Male.

>>13629926
There are only a handful of confirmed reformulations, most of them are for the better. Frag outists cry reformulation whenever they get olfactory fatigue or rely on 10 years old memories.
I could smell Le Male in my apartment for the whole day when i first got it, now i can barely smell it on me few minutes after applying but whenever someone comes to my apartment, they can always smell it.

>>13630074
>There are only a handful of confirmed reformulations
>most of them are for the better

What's ((better)) Mont Blanc: Legend Intense or Individuel?

Both are sweet, gourmand type

>>13629574
Natural like flowers, vanilla etc
Chemical like axe

>>13628583
why did they fuck up the modern givenchy gentlemen so badly when the knew the original was perfect.

>>13625469
Or Al Rehab silver which is literally $3.50 for a small bottle and smells identical.

>>13629981
>Sauvage
Oh no no no no
Cringe.

>>13629520
just get essential oils

>>13625894
Decided to go with extreme did I do good?

>>13630382
What site is that from? JL?

>>13623753
Lacoste blanc

>>13630223
Oh yes yes yes yes

>>13630413
Yep they have the price match and 15% of pretty much all their fragrances just now so it was fairly cheap

>>13630508
Well I’ll hope that they can match that price in store tomorrow then.

>>13630080
go check your Aventus batch number, reformulation retard

>>13623594
This perfume is very bad and overrated

>>13628583
never tried any john varvatos huh?

>>13630640
>he doesn’t like Eros

What’s the matter? Don’t like pussy?

I'm undecided on vetiver as a work scent.
I like the idea of it mixed with orange like TDH, but on its own like GV or OV, it may be too grassy?
Am I better off just wearing something like AHS year round for work?

>>13630756
It's not too grassy. Wear whatever you like best, though.

>>13629640
You people come on here and to make fun of me but it is really me who is living my dream, ok guys? I give up everything and dedicate this for my life so i dont see you guys behind the computer getting awesome ladies reactions and being very well in life. This is what we are for fragrance army, ok. I am spending my whole time on smelling different notes and knowing every fragrance that is out there so I can tell fragrance army what is best for compliments and ladies reaction. Soon i release my own scent and i tell you guys, it will be the best, when you spray it on girls pillow after sleeping over she will be so intensely loving you it is crazy but you guys online will not get that because you are not dedicates like fragrance army. I will keep going like this and staying with so much power

kenzo pour homme anyone?

>>13630864
This anon is doing god's work right here.

>>13629981
haven't you been posting this list saying you already have these? didn't you listen when i told you these were all memes?
is this going to be your first fragrance purchase? if so just start with one of those. five at once is extreme

>>13629981

>>13624608
I literally came into this thread to see if I should pick up a fall/winter scent after using Eros all Summer, and I see this immediately
Wow I'm happy

>>13623534
Anyone have recommendations for good unscented soap, shampoo, etc.?

>>13629355
Women will always do that if they like you. If they dont like the smell of your sweat though nothing will fix that.

any true upgrades to this? i'm ready to move on to niche scents but so far i can't find anything close

i've tried wonderwood, grey vetiver and sycomore but they're too complex and multinote, while what really makes encre noire interesting to me is thats its kinda single-mindedly dark and woody.

Where can I download the new Luca Turin ebook?

This is a compliment monster, 5 sprays two on the neck, two inside the elbows, and one on the chest.

>>13631167
>two inside the elbows
why

>>13631182
Not him, but I do that too. Seems to greatly increase longevity on hot days.

>>13631167
The original has something in it that immediately makes me think of hairspray. How different is this one?

>>13631105
Extreme flanker

>>13631229
I thought to recommend that as well, it's a direct upgrade and has the same philosophy many niche scents have, but anon mentioned he wants simplicity and Extreme takes the formula in a different direction.

>>13631182
Jeremy says. If someone is sitting and you're standing, this helps them catch whiffs.

>>13630864
Damm... Dude
Awesome.

>>13631259
yeah, I tried the extreme version but it didn't really smell extreme at all. In fact it smells more feminine and a little sweet.

>>13631167
Would you recommend it for a blind buy? No testers for it in my local mart, only a l'homme one.

>>13631489
Yes. You get a blast of ginger, cardamon, and grapefruit. Then it is rose/ceder/apple. It's nice and it lasts all day.

>>13623753
Guerlain Homme L'eau Boisee

>>13630864
Unbelievable. This is a natural talent, you can't teach this

>>13631226
It has masculine rose with a spicy ginger which make the scent much more prominent and unique among others. Apple fades pretty much immediately and woody notes join the scent on a drydown

>>13627106
Oh man no. 88 is so good! 80s masculine rose powerhouse that smells expensive as fuck.

>>13627551
As the other anon said: it smells dated, but if you can get past that it's really good.

What are some /fa/ deodorants that are not zoomertier like Axe?

>>13631561
BdC opening

>>13631561
Clinique deodorant

>>13631540

>>13628056
what's the Drydown like? I tried it once and at first it was mediocre but pretty soon enough I couldn't get enough of it.

>>13623534
Anyone watches Smelling Great Fragrances?
I want to know where does he puts the names of giveaway winners.

Need something to wear as we transition from the summer to fall. I'd like it to be something that I could also wear during the winter but it doesn't necessarily need to be a fall/winter scent.

I'm thinking of Dior Homme or Terre d'Hermes. Business casual environment. Any thoughts?

>>13631815
Terre D’ Hermes is actually really decent. Its my daily scent.

>>13631864
Do you get a mature kind of vibe from it? I'm going to test it today but I've heard that it's really mature (prob cause the vetiver). Any compliments/reactions?

>>13631876
I’ve had girls say it smells good and even delicious. It doesn’t really have an “age” to it. Its not young or mature. It is a heavy handed citrus though. The first thirty minutes is basically orange peel after that its just a smooth vetiver citrus smell, earthy but fresh. It reminds me of a real natural tropical forest, dirt and earth with citrus. Its very nice.

>>13631889
Nice. I'm going to check it out at my local Sephora later today. Any other recs?

>>13631894
Versace’s The Dreamer is pretty nice, As is Silver Mountain Water but thats super expensive, John Varvatos Vintage is a very good smelling cologne but the longevity is so bad and it doesn’t hold up in the heat.

>>13631902
That seems to be the consensus on all the John Varvatos stuff, nice but no longevity whatsoever.

>>13631912
Yeah, Varvatos Colognes would be up there with Dior, Hermes, and probably stand at the top of designer scents if the longevity was fixed. They are so close to great.

I'm looking for an ideal frag for office work and smart casual in general, with sweaters, ties, patterned suit trousers and such.
Would Guerlain be a good house for this style? Maybe Homme Intense?

>>13631995
Dior Homme if you're cute
Guerlain if not

t. Guerlain wearer

>>13631928
Yeah and they tend to be around the £50 mark, which isn't exactly dirt cheap. If something is only going to last a short time I expect it to be cheap enough to justify buying a lot of and reapplying.

>>13623534

any scents like Eau de Pamplemousse Rose but stronger w/r/t longeavity? sillage isn't all that important to me (all though there seems to be a correlation between the two; btw are there any scents with good longeavity but poor sillage, or vice versa?)

>>13630724
artisan blu only. the gentlemen only intense has a nice opening and then dies within minutes.

>>13630864

>>13632193
>that gf
loves sauvage, le pussy magnet

>>13631902
The Dreamer has good projection and longevity.. It's kinda feminine though which is why I was surprised when I got it as a gift. It's nice but nothing special imo.

>>13631546
Thanks, definitely gonna try it out sounds very nice.
>>13631815
You could try this one >>13631587 , it works great both in colder mornings and hot afternoons with a pretty good longevity on citrus notes. Some compare it to Terre, I kinda see the similarity.

How does Ombré Leather 2018 stand against Tuscan Leather?

fuck this autist >>13632395

You really are the most retarded trash sort of poster.

Anyone tried Aesop Hwyl before? I'd like a testimony before I drop £80 on it if I could get one.

>>13632242
checkout Atelier Cologne's lineup. they seem to specialize in citrus and probably have something for you

>>13632708
>>13632709
we /timetravel/ now

>tfw fragnet listed Rive Gauche for the first time, but no picture
Probably the bottle rather than the can but I copped it anyway because why not

Would buying Bleu de Chanel (edp or edt) be pointless if I already own an edt of Sauvage?

>>13632876
Will you use them for different situations?(e.g. Bleu for work and Sauvage for going out daytime) If yes, then it's not pointless, although both fragrances fall on the same category.

>>13632884
same 3rd party wouldn't think they're the same fragrance?

>>13632876
Throw away the Sauvage, buy Bleu de Chanel

Anyone know of any good fragrances with cinnamon accents? Or something like pic related but better?

>>13632903
They don't smell the same, dummie, they just serve the same purpose. But honestly do what >>13632924 said.

Why does Tom Ford Oud Wood smell so funky to me? I get some kind of chlorine smell out of it.
Is this what oud smells like?

Tried Aventus for the first time today. It’s nice, but not £250 nice. Maybe I’ll get some if I win the lottery.

Also tried Noir De Noir. It smells like my grandma’s perfume. Quite a please smell, but not for me.

>>13632934
I get a lot of cinnamon from One Million Cologne (in the translucent bottle with removable cap).

>>13632934
Same theme? Herod, Man in Black, Spicebomb Extreme. I hear Eau Des Baux L'Occitane is similar but never tried it. Other people claim HdP 1899 is a "more mature" Spicebomb but I own both and that's complete bullshit. They smell identical, and people only say it smells "more sophisticated" to make themselves feel better about paying double for niche Spicebomb.

>>13633224
I bet you tell people cndim smells exactly like aventus too.

>>13633259
Except CDNIM is a rip-off of Aventus. 1899 is a rip-off of Spicebomb. Also CDNIM is lemon, Aventus is pineapple. SB and 1899 have no discernable difference whatsoever.

If I blind bought several (2 dozen) fragrances over the course of the next few years, would anyone be willing to buy the ones that I don't like the smell of at half price? I hate going to the actual stores where they are so pushy and get irritated when you spend more than 5 minutes there, so I'm just going to buy recommendations I see here that aren't full blown memes. Considering resell just to throw away less money than if I collected once used bottles.

>>13633313
I have done this on ebay, about 25% off the lowest price for a new bottle will sell pretty quickly as long as the bottle is mostly full and you keep the original packaging

Do you guys prefer DHI or VUI?
Is owning both redundant?

Mugler cologne thoughts?

>>13633369
Both are garbo
Iris is for gay boys

>>13633397
Basic green soapy scent with an undertone of semen. Not even kidding.

>>13633313
I buy used stuff pretty often, only got scammed once for 30euros but saved hundreds compared to if I had bought from stores or discounters. You can put them on basenotes, you will need a year old account though.
>>13633369
Dhi

>>13633279
I can discern differences between my two bottles of Creed Royal Oud. I'm certain that 1899 is not identical to Spicebomb.

>>13627275
I bought several Zara fragrances last year with the intention of reviewing them and making recommendations for the better ones. Unfortunately, none of them are really recommendation worthy. Most just feel like cheaped out or beta test versions of existing Puig fragrances. Gourmand Leather is about as good as Zara gets, and it's still not quite as nice as actual Ultra Male. I use most of my Zara bottles as room spray or to kill small insects.

>>13633397
I really like A*MEN

Opinion discarded.

>>13633529
to be fair, Creed is notorious for inconsistencies between batches. this isn't the same reformulation autism that gets spewed constantly around

What's the most metrosexual fragrance you guys know? Preferably one that's not fall/winter exclusive.
