For anyone looking for fragrance suggestions, give as much information as possible about what you want.
Helpful info could include sex, price range, climate/season, age, style, use (work/clubbing), notes/families you like/dislike, and other perfumes you've tried and liked/disliked.
recently copped YSL La Nuit De L'Homme and Guerlain L'Instant, both EDT
feeling like a pretty top memer right now, but i like em both so dgaf.
any recommendations for good every day oriental frags?
>>10665606
I would like a suggestion for a longer lasting 'real' perfume similar to Aqoua di Gioia.
Marine/fresh/citrusy/clean/not too sweet or flowey on dry down.
I've tried Creed Millisime Imperial but am not blown away. There has to be something better for 300$, which is my budget.
>>10665827
*flowery
Looking for a scent
$0-100
I wear mostly black jeans or grey chino pants and mix these with black, grey, and navy knit sweaters.
I have a m65 jacket I wear regularly
I also own a blue peacoat, I wear with collar up.
I wear a grey herringbone scarf or a small cashmere cowl scarf
I wear dark leather chukkas or more usually in black shoes
Messy hair, Biology major with serious interest in photography, small interest in painting, swiming, and terrariums.
What would suit me?
>>10665620
we gotta get rid of this "style" bullshit
you like a fragrance or you dont
unless you wear clothes on your nose i guess then its different since thats the only thing that determines whether you should get a fragrance or not
>>10665849
do you want a summer or winter fragrance?
if you have no idea what you like i believe the best thing for you to do is sample fragrances in a sephora(let us know summer or winter first though so we can guide you)
>>10665869
"age" needs to go, too
I picked this up today since I found it super cheap. It's actually really nice, on first spray it reminds me of Chanel Allure Homme but quickly settles down into something quite close to La Nuit de L'Homme. Performance seems good as well, I sprayed the back of my hand at 3 and it's now 10:30 and I'm still catching whiffs of it
Male I'll try anything under $100
>>10665827
Profumum, Acqua di Sale is the ultimate marine imo. Smells like you spent the day at the beach.
Just ordered this. 19 year old white college student that wears sweaters, floral shirts, military jackets and boots. How'd I do?
>>10665907
i was gonna say that but i felt like someone would object so maybe it could stay(still 100% irrelevant to a scent)
>>10665933
Thanks I'll try it at neiman marcus tomorrow
will report back for science :)
>>10666053
Check out their other scents too. I love profumum, everything they do is top tier.
Sending Midnight in Paris to a friend in England, will it mesh well with the weather? Is it a good scent for dates and school?
I think it smells good, but I haven't really analyzed it too much. So pls help
>>10665946
Not too bad. I think the leather note is a bit overpowering in the first half hour or so, but settles in nicely.
Thanks to the guy in the last thread who posted the Target promo codes and shit. I would have bought some shit but I've spent too much lately..
>>10666073
It's a nice light fragrance, the EDP is more critically acclaimed than the EDT. For winter/fall you can't go wrong, but it is a little more on the feminine side so be aware of that
Thinking about ditching cologne entirely and just using cocoa butter. Any thoughts?
tfw gaven ed hardy cologne from family friend
>thefuckisthis
winds up being alpha smell
I use Versace l'homme, anything similar that I could cop?
What's /fa/'s opinion on females using more 'masculine' scents? I just purchased Comme De Garcons Black as I love the peppery smell, but it is awfully overpowering at times.
I'm new to fragrances and just got the luckyscent unisex sample pack.
So far I've tried 10 corso como, kyoto, and l'air du desert marocain
I like 10 corso, pleasant and inoffensive. I worry a little about it leaning towards the feminine side imo.
Kyoto I also enjoy. It's not something I expect when I think of fragrances (I'm new so that's not saying much)
Desert Marocain is pretty sweet, almost cloying to me. Definitely not what was in my mind when I've seen people recommend it here.
I'm just dabbing these on my wrists and sniffing them throughout the day. Is there something I should be paying attention to?
>>10665606
>read online reviews
> see people complaining about silage
> say the sprayed 12+ sprays of cologne
> laugh as I imagine literally smelling the guy down the hallway
>mfw somebody sprays too much cologne. there is no reason to ever go above 4 if you have a good cologne.
>>10667225
>there is no reason to ever go above 4 if you have a good cologne.
one spritz is all you need.
spray it on your wrist, pat your wrists together, pat your neck. don't rub.
it's supposed to be a subtle scent, not an odor.
good online stores to buy stuff from?
Also, how do people like HM by Hanae Mori?
Tried it recently and liked it a lot.
I'm a 21 M college student in Toronto who wears mostly OCBDs
>>10667225
Scents like The One, which don't last long and don't project, need more than 4 sprays.
>>10665869
>we gotta get rid of this "style" bullshit
When I suggested that, I was thinking more of formal/casual. People describing their wardrobe is kind of funny, but I'd rather have more info than less.
>>10665907
So you would recommend Bois de Portugal or Pour un Homme to a 17 year old? Again, I don't think we can have too much information to make the best recommendations possible. I would even consider adding where you can buy frags to the recommendations post. Like can you only buy from a mall/Sephora, or are you willing to order samples/buy blind from the internet? No sense recommending a niche frag to someone who lives in Bunfuck Iowa and doesn't have a credit card.
>>10666715
Then use less? And more under your clothes. Gender lines in fragrance are a marketing construct.
>>10666718
Is LS still using those tiny 0.7ml tubes? A decent application is ~0.3ml and spray application is different from and preferable to dabbing. Ideally you would be able to see how it performs throughout it's drydown cycle. Top/middle/basenotes and projection/sillage. Those last ones are better detected by someone else.

But someone might actually think they know what they're talking about and then misinformation will spread like a virus.
Anyone have Tom Ford Oud Wood. I am curious if it last longer than 2-3 hours looking for a new winter fragrance.
>>10667622
tell me the correct way then.
one spritz is more than enough.
Is grey flannel hefty meme? Is CdG hefty meme?
What is the dankest woody scent?
I'm a male 18 y/o college freshman going to a small liberal arts school in Minnesota. I'm looking for an everyday, all season fragrance, that has a unique smell. My style is memeochrome/"effay", I try to dress simply and love subtle details other people never will notice. Currently I use Estelle Ewen In Red, which I kind of like the smell of, but it doesn't last long. I also used to Armani Sport Code, but it smelled too gaudy after using it for a bit. Like a new money version of Axe. I like lighter, fruity smells, and also the sweet, earthy, scents of tobacco and pine. I tried Bleu de Chanel in an airport and liked it, but I'd prefer something more unique. I know Guerlain makes some androgynous fragrances, and I really like the concept of those. Not looking to spend my entire savings on a fragrance, but I'm willing to spend more for something I''ll really like.
Thanks.

Looking for a new scent. I live in mostly hot, humid, sunny South Florida. I'm a 26m, currently a student teacher. Mainly looking for a daily scent type of thing. Price range is kinda jumpy. Whatever I like, I'll make sure and get. Scent is very important to me. I've been wearing acqua di gio Essenza for the past 6 months, which smells great on me, I've just gotten tired of the scent. I also wear CH Men regularly, as well as John Varvatos Vintage. I mostly use the vintage when dressing better than usual or going out.
Thanks scent based anons.
>>10667708
The 'dankest' wood scent would be something like Oud Wood from Tom Ford, but that shit's expensive as hell.
>>10667703
depends on the scent, though I doubt just 1 spray will sufficient to last the day or have any sort of projection
even if you just want a subtle skin scent, 1 spray will last all of a couple of hours
How different is the Midnight in Paris EDT from the EDP?
I got a sample of the EDT but think I should get the EDP as the EDT seems a little weak to me..
I've been looking for a fragrance with grape in it. Any suggestions? Maybe something wine related too.
>>10667851
Damn man, too expensive.
CdG Wonderwood seems to be what I'm looking for. Thoughts?
>>10666497

Is this good

I can get CK One Summer 2014 for $15, but should i?
>>10668657
Meh, you can literally buy it for $20. you're not getting an insane deal if that's what you're implying.
which frags were we gonna put in that infographic thing again to help people out? i might start drafting it today
Anyone else spray a little cologne on their anus? It burns for a few seconds but then it smells good all day long
>>10666071
Bummer no retailers of Profumum anywhere around Washington D.C
If i want to smell it i'll have to order a sample off of luckyscent.com.
>>10667851
Oud Wood is one of the most frequent splits over a /r/fragsplits.
https://www.reddit.com/r/fragsplits/comments/3tmliy/uscan_tom_ford_oud_wood_tobacco_vanille/
This split is still open and $66 will get you 25mL of Oud Wood.
I've been reading a lot about fragrances lately and got bored of the one I used (which I won't even mention) so I bought these four:
CH Men
Spicebomb
La Nuit de L'Homme
L'eau d'Issey
Decent start? I'm a 20 year old.
>>10668856
do you really do that?
>>10669280
Yeah? There's nothing worse than having a smelly bum. I especially do it if I'm going to have sex
>>10668847
all the (good) memes so people stop asking about them:
YSL La Nuit de L'Homme
Burberry London for men
Creed Green Irish Tweed
Hermes Terre d'Hermes
Tom Ford Private Blend Tobacco Vanille and Oud Wood
Dior Homme
hmmm just realized there aren't many summery memes
>>10669328
i'm gay af and i'd find really funny if i found tom ford in the butt of a man. just imagining made me chuckle. i'll choose to believe you really do this.
I'm fucking broke, and I want two fragrances. Both hopefully being able to vaguely fill in the roles that the other can't (e.g One fragrance is good for casual wear, while another is good for more formal occasions), and I need them BOTH for cheap. Preferably less than $35 for both. And yes, I don't expect anything too high tier or anything of that nature. But any way I could get something nice for really cheap would be great.
>>10665606
Daily reminder that Jeremy Fragrance is the best fragrance reviewer in the world.
>>10665911
I remember seeing reccomendations of it as a good cheap cologne, probably will pick it up soon. Where did you get it?
>>10668071
>>10668193
shut up
greatest meme ever
i recently bought a 250ml bottle
>>10669443
I see it at TJ Maxx
>>10667611
Yea they're just the tubes. One of them actually came in a spray bottle, the molecule 01. Better than nothing.
>>10667703
A good rule of thumb is 2-5 sprays depending on the fragrance. I average 3-4. I used to only do one, but no one could smell me, not even when close. It was a revelation when someone tole me I could do more, as I was deathly afraid of being "cologne guy." But quite the opposite happened: I started to get compliments where I had never gotten any before.
Not saying there are zero frags that only need one spray; I can think of a handful: Rive Gauche pH, vintage Opium, 24 Gold, maybe Chergui... But to limit yourself to one spray across the board is a waste if no one can smell it.
>>10669878
by that you mean 3-4 total on yourself, right? 1-2 on wrists and 1-2 on neck, not 3 on your wrist then 3 on your neck.
>>10667759
Try Guerlain's Vetiver. It's mostly a tobacco scent to my nose, but fresh as well. Plus you might smell like some chick's dad. Also try Egoiste.
>>10667834
Dang I just did a rec for someone in FL last thread. Easy to get cloying in the tropical climate.
Try
Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentrée
Gucci Pour Homme II
Set Sail St. Barts for Men - might be too "tropical" for a teacher, but it's a summer favorite for me.
>>10667880
I've only smelled the EdP, but from what I've read, they are actually quite similar.
>>10669259
>Decent start?
If you like them it is.
>>10669413
I nominate Tabac Original for the formal one, but you could wear it casually too. And 360º Red or Black for Men for the other. Should get you pretty close.
>>10669890
Yes total. I do 1-2 on chest, 1 on back of neck and 1 on forearm and rub between the others. Rive Gauche pH is the only one I have to "hide" and do chest only. That shit is powerful, but great when moderated.
>>10668993
That's what i did. It's cheap enough you can get a dozen different ones and learn what particular notes you like and what you don't. I found out I love amber, but hate lavender. I recommend doing this research before buying any serious $$$ frags.
>>10669329
>just realized there aren't many summery memes
Not really a meme, but you can't go wrong with Acqua di Parma.
just joined the rest of the world and got samples of Le Labo. Rose 31 lives up to the hype, vetiver is fantastic, santal is great and oud is just woof.
anyone else here fanboy for bond9?
>>10669329
>summery memes
AdG
L'Eau d'Issey pH
>>10669894
Just got a 5oz sample of the Guerlain, thanks for the rec
>>10670201
My pleasure. It was a scent I had to warm up to. At first I found it "old man-y" but after a bit I now recognize it as the classic it is. A true year round scent, but it is a summer favorite. Really shines in the heat.
Oh, I own the version pictured. Haven't smelled the current version, and not sure it they differ much.
$50 and a great scent
>>10669990
Bond No. 9 is my fav house.
Bleecker Street in the summer
New Harlem in the winter
>>10670325
It literally cannot exist outside the bottle.
>>10669990
>Le Labo
did you try their new Thé Noir 29? I think it's among their best; top 5 easy, maybe top 3
>>10670325
shit is trash, worst performing fragrance of all time
Anyone have any experience with this? (it's the intense version btw) I've heard positive things. Apparently it's pretty similar in smell to Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme
>>10670325
This lasts like 30 minutes
I tested noir de noir and I'm fucked. I loved it. What do I do now?
Anything like it but obviously cheaper?
>>10670563
"new harlem"
what a disgusting racist name..
>>10665620
Hey guys,
I'm in need of a perfume or multiple ones, here is some info:
Sex: Male
Age: 18
Climate/season: If it could be used for the whole year, that would be great, but if not, then one for winter and one for summer.
Style: Casual
Use: Daily, universitfy and stuff
Perfumes tried: I currently use Dior Fahrenheit 32 (white bottle), but I'm getting tired of, that's why I want some variety.
Perfumes liked: YSL La Nuit blackish/greenish bottle??, I loved Guerlain, some of them were GOAT.
P.S if the bottles could be like 20 or 30 ml, that would be also great, because I get bored of perfumes frequently, wouldn't be a deal breaker tho.
Thanks.
>>10670563
>New Harlem
wanting to smell like piss ridden streets filled of homeless Puerto Ricans and niggers.

Obviously by "New Harlem" they mean the gentrified Harlem
>>10665933
Profumum representation is nice to see. I like Victrix so much that I want to give them more money. What's best for the crappy German winter, in an everyday/office kind of way?
>>10672046
Same thing happened to me. I caved and bought a bottle retail. Don't regret it one bit.
>>10672046

>>10665606
looking for a new fragrance because I've been feeling i need one lately
have pic related (rerelease obviously) and like it a lot, but it feels very wintery to me. i copped it last winter so maybe thats why i have that association.
looking for something for the opposite occasion as this, but matching this style of fragrance (semi-avant garde, interesting, subtle)
if anyone can offer any advice or suggestions at all that would be much appreciated
other info--
sex: male
price range: similar to pic related (helmut lang cuiron)
climate/season: contrast to pic related, so summer/warmer weather
age: 20
use: i would say universal. I feel like pic related can be formal or casual and i want something else like that
other perfumes I've liked: not very well-versed but tom ford grey vetiver i remember i liked a lot
dislikes: anything that smells very much like a perfume, if that makes sense
>>10670563
Shelter Island and Chinatown are great
>>10669967
Yes, i'm being systematic. I just have poor patience.
>>10673750
>>10670563
>>10669990
i've read that Bond No. 9 scents are frequently criticized as smelling very synthetic/chemical, clearly not natural (which in itself isn't necessarily bad). what do you guys think?
>>10674154
well they're not wrong
a lot of frags in that price also smell synthetic
>>10665946
You're gonna smell like gunpowder, too bad.
>>10674697
I think you got Dior mixed up with CdG.
recently tried this on, smelled real good and really like wood at first but, after an hour or so it started to smell real cheap i guess. was it just me or did anyone else had this experience with this?
>>10670563
The best is Andy Warhol, but they're fucking faggots and discontinued it. I can never reach Plum cozy-core ever again thanks to them.
Their worst is Little Italy which smells like obnoxious cleaning fluid and sour (not the good kind of sour) citrus. They have another one which is supposed to smell like money that also sucks dick.
In general, they're not worth the money. And you can just get Michael Jordan - Legend or Rochas Man for a much cheaper alternative to New Haarlem,
>>10675037
im seconding this.
the black edition also sucks within an hour
This is really good. So much better than 1 million.
>>10674697
Dior Homme smells like lipstick
>>10675690
If you like Spicebomb you should check this out. Very similar smells, the Bvlgari just comes off as more mature due to the added boozy-ness. Testers can be found for less that $40 online.
Need something for the oppressive Australian summer.

Will look into it, thanks.
I always come across this when I'm browsing fragrantica and it's piqued my interest. Anyone tried it? I've got no way of testing it out, not sure if it'd be interesting or if it's give me a headache.
>>10675824
Thanks, mate. Done deal. Going to buy a decant in my next batch of samples of that. I'll report back.
>>10675846 For a summery vetiver check out Guerlain Homme L'Eau Boisee
Some other summer scents I love:
Lalique White
Dior Homme Sport
Dior Homme Cologne
Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche
Voyage d'Hermes
Terre d'Hermes Eau Tres Fraiche
Thierry Mugler Mugler Cologne
Bvlgari Aqva Amara
Cartier Roadster
>>10675874
the EdT is lighter, greener and better than the EdP (the black labeled one like your pic) imo, though I believe the consensus on Fragrantica/Basenotes favors the EdP for its richness. Performance is about even between the two despite the differences in concentration
and it won't give you a headache, no Diptyques will I don't think, very well produced scents overall and do a great job of hiding any synthetic ingredients they use
>>10672140
Anyone? thanks
>>10675874
try Luckyscent. It's $3/4 depending on which version of Philosykos you get and while the samples seem small, it will likely give you about a week at least of regular use to make up your mind
and while you're at it, why not try L'Artisan Premier Figuier and Premier Figuier Extreme. Very similar scents often compared to Philosykos and created by the same nose (perfumer)
>>10675992
Guerlain has 291 fragrances, remember anything more specific?
I'm kinda curious about Teazzura since I love chamomille tea, but some critics panned it
>>10666715
Totally depends on the girl and the scent and it's not that big of a deal to me.
>>10672140
>20 or 30 ml
You can try Decantshop and some of the other places in OP (not Luckyscent though), and they sell spray vials as big as 15 mL, maybe as high as 30 mL. The only downside is that it won't be in an actual bottle made by the fragrance house since they are decants.
anyways, some recs:
Acqua Di Parma Essenza Di Colonia (s/s)
Dior Homme (f/w)
Diptyque Eau Duelle (f/w)
Bleu de Chanel (yr)
Terre d'Hermes (yf)
CdG 2 Man (f/w)
Lalique White (yr)
Penhaligon's Endymion (yr)
Le Labo Bergamote 22 (s/s)
Prada Amber (yr)
Prada Infusion de Vetiver (s/s)
>>10676093

>>10676054

yeah i see now that this was stupid to mention lol, i really don't remember, I went and tried some guerlain today but they had like 3 versions only and it wasn't the one I liked
>>10676093
I tried Bleu de Chanel and Dior Homme today, Bleu was great, I'll try the rest as well, thank you for the list
>>10676112
L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme, maybe? It's arguably their most popular male fragrance
shit or nah?
Never noticed how similar Fragrantica and Fry's favicons were.
>>10677006
shiiiiiet i like it, but i wouldn't buy it, i got it as a gift, so yeha

Vetiver fatal by atelier cologne
possibly the "Jardin" line by hermes too

>>10677567
Yee Sova. Haven't seen on a thread in a while
>>10677490
Laudano Nero by Tiziana Terenzi
O by blood concept
Dust, Dirt, Sawdust, Set Wood, Glue and other stuff by Demeter. Just layer them on to your liking
Greenbriar 1968 by CB I Hate Perfume (easily the closest you will get to a construction site)
>>10677432
dryness depends on where in aus he is
>>10677626
>Sova
I think it's been discontinued, sadly; Slumberhouse seems to do that very often, like every scent is sort of a limited edition
Is there any niche scent that will blow my mind if I never smelled any? In a good way, of course.
>>10678535
Niches aren't necessarily better or radically different from the best designer stuff 2bh, though they are generally more interesting imo
I'd say the most interesting fragrances I've tried are Serge Lutens Borneo 1834 (which I love) and Le Labo Rose 31 (which I admire much more than I like)
As far as houses go, Serge Lutens, Diptyque, Le Labo, and Amouage are consistently great imo.
Oh, and don't forget to try Secretions Magnifique :^)
D&G The One men EDP in any major airports yet?
Going to be departing from LAX in a few days. Hoping that bad boy is there.
>>10678535
>>10678602

How is it? Sickeningly sweet or ok?
>>10679722
Based on the reviews everyone says it's a strong sweet.

how's longevity on you guys? i'd like to get a decant from a niche house but as i'm a cheap fuck i'd like to get something that will last me awhile too.
>>10678602
amouage is made by arabs and smells like dirty arabs
Anybody tried this?
I'm really intrigued by what I've read about and the bottle as well.

I've tried quite a few scents through the years, but I always return to Cool Water. It's just perfect in so many ways + inoffensive to everyone. Perfect everyday scent.
Can someone recommend me something similarly approachable?
Here's a few to get an idea of what I like, but keep in mind I want to smell inoffensive/not sweet: DHI, L'Eau de Issey, Encre Noir, Aventus, Prada Amber pour Homme...
>>10680125
Whoops... Forgot this shit I guess:
sex: male
price range: doesn't really matter, but not paying insane amount for a brand name
climate/season: all season
age: 31 (I look like a pedophile)
use: universal
other perfumes I've liked: see above
>>10679930
Dia Man's longevity isn't great, about average (5-6 hrs.), but the others I've tried have fantastic performance
>>10680058
I was actually expecting this when I first tried Amouage, but it really isn't the case

Too sweet for me. I prefer Pure Malt.
This any good?
>>10681158
Every region has their own distinct smell due to culture, diet, and location
Is it me or is La Nuit de l'homme too sweet?
>>10682768
just you.
>>10682768
Just you. It's more spicy than sweet

Good smell and sexy bottle.
Looking for something for my girlfriend, so :
sex : female
price range : nothing too expensive, £40 max (60$)
age : 20
Just something for everyday use, nothing too heavy, preferably something airy but at the same time not too weak its unnoticable
pls help senpai
Christmas gift for the bf. All my lady friends swear by Versace Eros.
Is this a good choice?
>>10683050
a little too strong to be given away as a blind gift
that being said all of my friends like it so it cant be that bad
>>10683050
What does he use? Anything he likes?
Is Invictus /fa/
>>10683195

>>10683200
Nice reference but Im actually asking
Copped for 45€ because the cashier made a mistake
>>10683213
Damn. What did you actually wanted to buy?
>>10683251
Had the decision between Hugo Boss The Scent and this, and I went with Invictus. I know popular things arent well received on /fa/, but I actually like it
>>10683195
Honest answer: I don't like it very much but it's not as bad as /fa/ has argued before. I got it as a gift and I don't mind it, it's just really not something I ever plan on buying. My only problem is that, along with 1 Million, it's just really overrated by people I know. On top of that it never seems to last very long for me. I don't really see it as something you'd straight up regret owning though.
>>10683296
Thanks for your opinion. Everyone has a different taste, some people might prefer "manlier" perfums and dislike it therefor
>>10683195
i'd personally never buy it. i think i still have a sample and no. to me there are much better fragrances in that genre.
>>10683195
it's meh.
>>10683329
>>10683620
Thanks
>>10683630
but it's not bad to me, if you like it, it's totally fine. i'm basing my opinion on the area i live too, i think 1 million etc are so played out here i just wouldn't be able to stand myself wearing anything like it. so that's that.
>>10683195
Like has been said, it's okay. The biggest problem is you'll smell like every other dude who's mom/girlfriend went to the nearest store with a fragrance selection and picked up the first best thing.
What is your opinon on CK One?
I wish people would elaborate when asking a question. CK One is twenty years old and one of the most popular fragrances ever. You can find in every perfume store. There are A LOT of opinions about it on the internet. No one is going to take the time to answer a question that you didn't take the time to explain the reason of it.
>>10684068
Sorry, what information would you like me to clarify on?
I saw it on sale on Amazon.

Got 200ml of this as a present, it's interesting. Starts off slightly fruity and wears off to a nice mildly musky scent. Just Different is my favourite Hugo Boss though.

brb killing myself
Looking for a similar scent to D&G the one. Was pretty disappointed with the longevity of it so I'm looking for something a little longer lasting.
>>10684661
La Nuit D'Meme.
>>10684871
The 2 are not similar at all, get the fuck out of here with your "le meme scent xDD" shit
>>10684661
You could probably try the parfum version but it's probably hard to com by, for now at least. You can try fragrances heavy on the amber but it won't be entirely the same. The One is a pretty unique scent.
Winter fragrance friends, help
Been wearing Armani code ultimate but it's a bit sweet for me.
Tried bleecker street and the scent of peace but Bleecker is "air freshener-y" and scent of peace smells like an old man to me.
I like lavender, vanilla and wood or smoke. Any suggestions?
>>10683195
One Million is better tho
>>10684896
Priced less than 200 preferably
>>10684896
not sure if youve tried TV or oud wood by tom ford
pretty pricy but is worth it in my opinion
original santal from creed is pretty good as well
any opinion on Tom ford Noir?
>>10685489
Buy it.
What's a classic manly scent for a dude with a beard wearing flannel and boots?
>>10685489

test
>>10685542
Sriracha marinated bacon microbrew fixed gear bike essence
After taking the time to sample the luckyscent unisex pack I copped CdG Kyoto. It's my favorite on the list, starts off a bit too smoky but I really really like how it settles.

Currently using pic related.
male 28, pale wave, natural fibres,Starting a new job soon working as a senior designer in a branding agency.
Love TDH but its a bit out of my price bracket at the moment to be wearing everyday. any recomendations on something that smells similar for everyday office use?
I also wear Boss the Scent ( got a bottle as a gift, its nice n light) and English Blazer (mostly cos it reminds me of my dad)
>>10685786
you could try yardley's citrus & wood. doesn't smell cheap and has the similarity to TdH. all around a good fragrance.

I bought Thierry Mugler Cologne By Thierry Mugler on a blind sale buy.
I feel like it smells like something an older woman would wear. Why do so many people like this scent? The reviews are overwhelmingly positive online but I was immediately unimpressed.
godlike dense manly and piercing
>>10686012
it's just very soapy and clean
not sure how you can put an age/gender on it
Been using dior homme intense
Loving the smell but after 1 hour it just fucking disappears.
Anything similar but much stronger?
>>10686093
>much stronger
dhi should last 12+ hours
you either got a fake or you're experiencing olfactive fatigue, i promise you it's not disappearing in 1 hour.
Newfag here, is Allure Homme Sport Channel any good? Got it as a gift, I liked it, wasn't much of a perfume guy, now I gotta buy another one, should I take it again? I'm 19 if that's of any use.
>>10686229
i like it, yeah i'd say its good. you could try the extreme version, it's the one i use the most but a lot of people wouldn't agree with me.
>>10686516
I really like La Nuit d l'Meme, but the reason I like it is that safe lavender in the background while there's that really nice smelling cardamom or other stuff up front.
Does anyone know of other stuff that has a subtle lavender always in the background with something sharp up front like that? I want something that can be worn during the day time too (cool weather or warm weather is fine), unlike la nuit.
I'm a 23 y/o male and I work in an office for context.
>wear complex boutique frags that are understated but sophisticated
>noone ever comments on them besides gf when we're in bed cuddling
>wear 1million I got in a tester out to 'da club' last night
>"oh wow anon you smell amazing" "ey bro what cologne is that I really like it"
Why even try? Seriously all 3 of my uber drivers commented on it plus people at preparty and clubsluts
i've been complimented quite a lot wearing niche fragrances but nowhere near when the amount of times when i wear chanel or ysl.
even aventus. no joke, i get more compliments wearing l'eau d'issey (which is good i'm not arguing against it) than with aventus.
for me, if i really like a niche fragrance and i think it smells good, maybe people won't compliment it for whatever reason but i think they will "remember", so that's fine by me
most people are not interested in whatever breaks what they are used to
I need some help finding a fragrance. I live in south Florida where its hot even in winter now. it hasnt gotten the least bit chilly yet.. I've experimented with some cheaper scents that i've purchased and gotten as gifts and was never entirely satisfied. Although I'm bound to get compliments on much of what I wear if its on strong enough.. I want something thats actually good.
I'm not very manly although my face does have some masculine qualities to it, I'm not sure I could pull of something too "manly" smelling
If it helps, I party and go clubbing sometimes and I would prefer something that would resonate better in a club, then say, a business trip, or a boating vacation
where to start?
>>10686790
could you remember a few that you didn't like?

im looking for a spicy fragance any recomendation's /fa/.
also, pic related is my current one.
>>10686735
>>10686776
I think people that move into niche stuff just like fragrances in general and aren't trying to attract anyone or make a strong impression as the main reason for wearing perfume. At least that's the case with me; I'm also into candles, incense, oil diffusers, etc. (and I wish /frag/ would talk about that stuff more as a great smelling home is very effay)
>>10686804
Didn't really like this David Beckham stuff but was ok
Got some knock off "Sport Club Green/Black" thats supposed to be similar to Polo, was interesting, but of course cheap.. didnt last long and not that good..
tried "Cool Water", total garbage
when I tried to buy my own scents, came out with Estelle Ewen In Red Eau de Toilette Spray, which I enjoyed, but wasn't strong/long lasting enough
also purchased Benetton Verde Eau de Toilette, was ok, seemed kind of fruity but I didn't love it.
(this was when I was more poor)
Used to wear Versase Blue Jeans in High School and for a while after, it was nice but not something that I would want to ever wear again..
also bought a sample pack of scents from this company Blackbird, im finding some are OK but not quite what I want.. the fragrance "Pipe Bomb" that came in it has no smell, just seems like alcohol..
I guess I'm looking for something woods-y/fruity (I dunno), willing to spend a little bit
>>10686804
>>10686937
or... i dunno. just definitely not anything too spicy, my dad wore all kinds of cheap ass manly cologne growing up and I always hated it lol
that new dior sauvage smells like rightguard anti-perspirent lads
kinda grew on me though
y/n?
>>10687159
god i hate that list so much
such bad fragrances and looks like 0 thought went into it
has a motorbike section where fahrenheit should be (smells like petroleum and leather, what else smells like petroleum and leather?) and the section where it is recommended is for dr who lookalikes.
>>10686937
if you go clubbing as much as you make it out to be, check out invictus and ultra male
invictus is slightly fresher than ultra male, but both are quite sweet, which may be a problem if you tend to overspray in the high heat.
>>10687159
Get this old shit infograph out of here
>>10687212
I don't go a hell of a lot, but its one of the few things I actually do
>>10687212
thanks for the suggestions, got Invictus and another from Jean Paul Gaultier and some other stuff

Most complimented one?
>>10673452
ey I love this scent - it smells quite a bit like
DEET/repellent in general and I love that - thoughts on this?
my favorite easy summer evening perfume is yohji homme -
its sweet and rum-y - kind of like the smell of a pirate-lite
its sexy, appealing to many, and a good middle ground for
evenings out (doesn't project too much, lasts a good
amount of time, doesn't ENTIRELY evaporate with heat)
for a day-time summer perfume solid/oily perfume in summer
is my fav - they don't project massively for 30
mins then burn out like alcohol-based scents - I rec
solid Lush scents (try em all if you can) and Bergamot
roll-on perfume by Le Labo
>>10686917
lets talk about this now!!
I use Crabtree and Evelyn (most of there stuff is trash)
Noel Fragrance room spray all year round - it reminds
me of xmas and isn't cloying but its not /fresh/ or boring

you mean from everything? bleu de chanel is the thing i got the most compliments in the last couple of years. one girl in my university, every time i meet her with bleu de chanel she compliments me. and i know it's 'me' cause i was wearing GIT one time and she said nothing.
>>10687585
i meant "i know it's not 'me'"
what would you want this type of girl to smell like?
kinda sick of my black armani sì

I need a good fragrance. I want something with a decent longevity but is also preferably more close sitting in terms of projection. But I don't mind far reaching scents, but again I just prefer something to be more close to the skin.
Also, I want something really unique. Not just typical citrus, musks, florals, etc. I want to smell like an experience, if that makes sense. Wet rocks, Rain, Wet Earth, etc.
Pls help
>>10687900
you want the ultimate meme fragrance
