FRAGRANCE GENERAL

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, use (work/clubbing/etc.), notes/families you like/dislike, and other perfumes you've tried and liked/disliked.

Nothing smells like D&G The One. The smell is pretty unique you just have to deal with the shit projection and longevity

Some other Anons have mentioned wanting an infograph or working on one themselves, so here's a simple survey asking for you recs and favorites to include, and I may get around to making one myself; the most popular scents, meme or not, will be included.

Versace l'homme. I use this but wanna expand a bit, any recommendations?

>>10721929
Male, 20-180$,Autumn and early Winter, daily use ( something not too overpowering), Musk, Eucalyptus, Sea salt, Ginger, Rose petals

>>10722037
Oh, and I believe I've made the responses public if any others want to use them to make an infograph (as I most likely won't go through with it)

>>10722022
How does the EDP work? I have heard some good things about it but can't find it anywhere.

>>10721929
>>10721929
21, Male, $10-150, Autumn/Winter, daily use. Floral, eucalyptus, citric, something that says "I am very feminine but still like women" or "I am the closest thing to a vampire, would you have a threesome?"

is it true that cologne fucks with your pheromones and your ability to attract women via your natural scent?

>>10722147
Russian Tea by Masque Milano

>first ten minutes: spear mint
>2 hours later: Herbal Tea
>6 hours later: Syrup and pancakes

i love it but its different, only use it for snow days when i wear a scarf

>>10722264
in a sense, yes. Everyone has different body chemistry when it comes to scents.

Cool water smells like shit on me, but smells pretty okay on mexicans

Just picked up Lalique White and YSL L'Homme. Did I fuck up?

Also want to pick up CDG Wonderwood if I can find a good deal.

>>10722288
word.
i just asked because I recently picked up Code by Giorgio Armani and I dont want to throw myself off to others. I've gotten compliments on it but should I worry? thoughts on Code?

my all-time favorite, Serge Lutens Borneo 1834

most dynamic, Le Labo Rose 31
most creative, Slumberhouse Pear & Olive

>>10722264
it's more like your pheromones/body chemistry will alter the fragrance. pheromones are odorless anyway and i can't think of any reason they wouldn't just mix in with perfume and still be detectable subconsciously

>>10722187

Anyone wanna help a frag noob out? Just looking for suggestions/starting points to research, not ultimate suggestions:

>sex
M/21
>price range
I'll probably go through frag splits so doesn't really matter that much, cheaper the better
>climate/season & use
I want to say something all-around but I know frags don't work like that. Even if something is suited for all-around use I don't see myself using it daily, just on occasion. Something I could wear casually and something I could wear out would do. I could probably go through splits and get a couple fragrances for warmer and cooler weather.
>notes/families you like/dislike, and other perfumes you've tried and liked/disliked
From shaving I know I like less strong, more natural scented stuff. I definitely do not like cologne forward scents, aquatic/clean stuff, and highly sweet stuff. The only fragrance I've tried is some Givenchy Blue Label when I was underage and got samples with deodorant (kek). I do know I like woodsy scents, lavenders, and citrus for the warmer weather.

Sorry if this is broad, shoot me some suggestions.

>>10722103

Hey guys, I want to buy a real quality fragrance, since I only have JOOP! Homme, and Nautica Voyage, so I cant decide between Dior Homme Intense, Dior Fahreinheit and The One. I have read that The One is pretty weak, and women dont like Intense. What should buy as a 20Yo student in Germany?

>>10722147
Couldn't single out one, but top contenders would be:
Antaeus
Kouros
Terre d'Hermes
Fahrenheit
Polo

They all have many notes, but are so well blended that you can pick them out at different times, rather than just being a jumbled mess. That keeps me smelling my arm all day when I wear these.

>>10722187
>>10723162
Black Orchid
Body Kouros
Coromandel*
Dior Homme and its flankers
Gucci Pour Homme II
Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin
Midnight in Paris
Sycomore*
Ungaro III

*These two Chanel Les Exclusifs are a little over your max, but speaking as someone who generally thinks price has little correlation with quality, these are magnificent and worth every penny. Well worth at least sampling.

>>10723226
Nothing much is coming to mind, but you might try Terre d'Hermes.

I would explore the top 50 and see what grabs you from there: http://www.basenotes.net/bn_todaysscent.php?p=boys&t=alltime

Why do so many people get snobby about Allure Homme Sport Extreme? I've read some reviews and they're all "Uhhh, it's boring, everyone likes it." as if only scents that smell like shit are any good.

>>10723826
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrarian

>>10723754
how long does Fahrenheit lasts?

>>10723781
No worries, thanks for that link I didn't see that.

Instead of Hermes, maybe Grey Vetiver by Tom Ford would be a better suit? According to Fragrantica it should be more woody.

I was also recommended La Nuit de l`Homme Yves Saint Laurent. It would definitely be a scent that fulfills my love for lavender, but I'm worried it's too "masculine".

For some reason I'm heavily attracted to CdG (even though I hate their play heart shit). 2 man, Wonderwood, and their Incense series intrigue me.

What I should do is just order samples of all of the above.

>>10723852
Think you might have replied to the wrong post, but it lasts all day on me. Love it.

>>10723857
I recommended TdH because it's natural smelling, woody and citrusy. GV I'd say is in the same ballpark, but it's more green, while TdH is more earthy. If you like one, you'll probably like the other.

Not as familiar with La Nuit, but you should be able to try it at most stores. If you love lavender, check out Agua Lavanda. The stuff in the big plastic bottle is dirt cheap and smells great. Not great longevity, but cheap enough to douse yourself in repeatedly.

Wonderwood is too powdery/cloying for my tastes, but I like 2 and less so 2 Man.

If you have no stores accessible, then yeah order a bunch and give each several full wearings before making your mind up.

Any websites for getting samples that are in Germany or around? The UK one doesn't ship here and the US ones have high shipping costs.

How does smoking a few cigs a day go together with a fragrance?

Tried Givenchy Pi today. Smelled like baby powder or diapers or something.

What do you think about the Joop! Products? I can buy them for 20€/125ml so looks cheap

>>10724124
Givenchi Pi Neo smells pretty good, at least on me

>>10723930
Thanks man. I definitely prefer more earthy over more green/fern (although I'm attracted to scents based off of tea).

I'm probably going to scratch off La Nuit. The notes looked good but I've heard it's very sweet and masculine and a "bro" perfume. So I'll pass.

That lavender is interesting but very suited for summer. I think I'm going to pass on the idea of a scent that works daily for summer. I'm more interested in something special to use in the fall to spring and then for summer nights going out on occasion.

Interesting that Wonderwood is powdery, I did not get that impression from descriptions and reviews at all. No where around me carries CdG. I obviously have department stores that carry mainstream/popular frags.

>>10724124
Unless you can find a vintage bottle of Pi I would stay away (unless you just really love it then please, knock yourself out). I'm really interested to try the newly released Pi Extreme though, supposed to be similar with some added leather and woodsy notes, been getting pretty positive reviews

>>10724257
My tastes tend to the mature, but many lavender forward scents just scream "old man" to me, like Caron's 3rd Man and Pour un Homme. Many classic lavender scents use a more soft, powdery kind of lavender, but Agua Lavanda uses the more bracing, sharp kind. The only other lavender based fragrance I have found that I really like is Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentrée, and that is a good year-rounder.

FG's Wonderwood page has many instances of the word powdery. Not that that's necessarily bad, but it is not an aspect I personally enjoy in my fragrances. Perhaps I am sensitive but it makes my nose feel like I am breathing a cloud of baby powder.

>>10723267
The first is great and the latter is crap. The original is the best.

>>10724257
It isn't really sweet as it is more flowery smell with a bit of a spiciness underneath, it's lavender after all. I have never heard it referred to as a "bro" perfume, that goes more to stuff like 1 million. But as the other guy said, it should be in pretty much any store so take a smell yourself.

Woot has Tom Ford Black Orchid on sale for $100. (3.4oz, EDP)

Is this price unusually cheap enough to be worth a blind buy or should I smell it first? I figure if I don't like it I can just resell/use it for Christmas gift-exchange games.

I'm a 23 yo male who loves chocolate/vanilla combos, if that helps

Sauvage is a bit disappointing, i was expecting something more interesting

>>10724619
that's about what you'd pay online at Fragrancenet, etc, so it's not unusually cheap. It isn't part of the Private Blend line so it doesn't retail as high as those ($165 for 100 mL as opposed to the $220 for 50 mL for the latter)

also, i found the patchouli to stand out quite a bit, so much that I think the chocolate/vanilla is secondary. definitely sample if that throws you off.

>>10722310
if youve gotten compliments, dont worry, i mean thats the point right?

i dont like code personally, to me its a really cliche "GUY" scent, but hey, i also just mentioned cool water earlier

>not wearing exclusively essential oils

Thoughts on Francisco Rodriguez for Men? I love the notes and reviews but I can't find anywhere that would have it to test.

looked at the review sites.

any anons care to comment on CB I hate perfumes ?

specifically wet pavement

>>10726086
They're pretty much what they say on the bottle. They tend to not last very long.

>>10724427
Thanks. I've been surprised by some very good lavenders I've tried, but I think I'll take it off the list of stuff to look for. Maybe later.

I don't mind powdery undertones but if it is forward and sweet powder I don't like it.

>>10724509
Sounds good. I'll have to go to the department store and smell the main stuff.

I'm still very attracted to CdG scents and I've found a place that you can do a 5 vial sampler set so I think I'll go for that for now.

>>10726086
I wear Winter 1972 and In The Library, in addition to MMM Jazz Club. I haven't checked out Wet Pavement, but in general I'm very happy with the CB stuff I've tried.

Sillage is not as strong on either as it is on Jazz Club, but with In The Library I can still smell it on me fifteen hours after putting it on. Winter 1972 lasts almost as long for me.

I'm always impressed by how much they change. Winter 1972 in particular goes in three strong phases and it's interesting at every point, whereas Jazz Club only slides between strong tobacco and alcohol to sweet vanilla. They really smell unique and if you're just in it to enjoy smelling on yourself you'll probably be very happy.

Can't go wrong with YSLs Nuit but at this point its basically a meme amongst frag communities

Creed's Aventus is also big in frag communities but niche

Personally i've entirely shifted to niche houses, DS & Durga are pretty hit and miss, Byredo is my shit though

Not even tried Le Labo yet but intend to get some samples

2015 has definitely been the year of Oud, will probably be popular in 2016 too but its more of a fall/winter note

>>10724800
Just sandalwood? I dunno man i think well crafted fragrances will always trump individual notes... its like comparing eating a single fresh vegetable to a delicious and complex meal made by a master chef

Yeah sandalwood by itself smells pretty good but its so same-y, no development, no depth

>>10724824
try YSLs La Nuit de l'Hommes... fits the bill, although if you're worried about running to other people sporting the same signature scent then maybe look for "smells like..." type lists on places like fragrantica.

desu the best thing you can do is go smell a load of samples in a fragrance store, take note of what you like, google for other things that smell similar and then get samples and see which you like best.

I'm looking for a fairly cheap fragrance for everyday use. Something aquatic or green would be nice, a fresh smell. Lemony isn't too bad either. Male, mid 20s.
Right now I'm using Nautica Voyage.

>>10726619
I meant citrusy, not lemony. More or less the same thing I guess.

>>10726619

If you haven't yet, make sure you check out Cool Water and 360º Red for Men.

What's /fa/'s opinion on pic related?

Just bought this at Walgreens for $16. I'm not too sure how long it will last as a deodorant, but I'm testing it now. As a body spray I personally like it. I'm open to other fragrances.

you might have got illegitimate la nuit. i can think of tons of negative things to say about la nuit, but weak projection is not one

>>10728512
I have never tried the body spray, but I am just finishing up my vintage mini of the EdT and was reading about the current version, which is apparently excellent and quite close to the original vintage stuff. All that to say: it is a fantastic fragrance, but it is definitely a man's fragrance. And a hell of a bargain to boot.

Humans don't actually use pheromones, most advertisements regarding them actually sell pig pheromones. We pretty much lack the vomeronasal organ, except for a vestige of its presence. The first poster is right in that different colognes smell differently on certain people, depending on the oils of the skin and sweat levels

>>10728769
Make sure it's old Pi. New formula is pigeon shit. You can tell by the size of the pi logo on the front. Look it up if you're buying pham.

Also, how fucked did Le Male get by it's reformulation anyone? It's held to a high regard and I'm afraid I've actually never sampled it.

Not wrong m8

Hey guys. I bought myself a small collection and was wondering what else I might need. Most of what I have would only work in cold weather. (Male, 20)

I got Pure Malt, Pure Havane, Midnight in Paris, Chergui, and Aventus.

>>10728892
Current Le Male is a joke, if you can't find a vintage bottle you're better off going with one of the clones (Perry Ellis 360 White, Cuba Gold.) From what I understand Prada Luna Rossa Sport is supposed to be in the same vein, might be worth looking in to. Obviously if money isn't an issue check out Amouage Reflection Man

>>10729221
Other anon here. Actually I recall seeing a stat that it was the best selling fragrance in Europe a few years back, so it's more than just us two. Good taste Europe.

>>10729498
Nice haul. Yes, they do tend toward the colder seasons. PM and PH are built on the same base so as to be practically interchangeable. MiP and Aventus are the only ones I'd consistently wear in the summer, just go easy on the trigger. As someone who wears anything any time if the mood strikes, Chergui is a frag I'd be very wary of wearing in any kind of heat. Over spraying that one is very easy.

That said, all of these tend to the oriental/sweet, so if you wanted to round out your wardrobe, take a spin around the fragrance family wheel in the general info link in the OP and try some warmer weather frags.

So how many fragrances do you guys own?

Thankfully, all of those were available at the store I went to. Eau sauvage was my favorite of them, then Chrome, Terre was nice but had an "old guy" vibe and Vetiver was a no.

Around about 10. Of course, I want more though.

>>10721929

-Male
-24
-Under 500
-A few suggestions for diff seasons would work for me
-I'm looking for more of a signature fragrance. Although I am not against the idea of having a
seasonal go to during a certain season and 1
exclusively for events/ galas
-I've only started this search in the last month. Have been finding myself around important people a lot this last month and I'm not used to it and this looks like it won't be slowing down any time soon.
I've been partial to Tom Ford and have a few samples. Not a fan of Hermes. Seems like the kind of fragrance old people wear and i associate it with snobbiness too much.

Lucky for you there are a lot of families other than those and sweet Orientals: chypres, woods, green scents, aromatics, fougères, florals...

I'll agree that most of the really interesting frags are for colder weather, however. Kouros on a hot day is amazing though.

>>10731792
I checked that site and most frags from each category are somewhat uncommon or harder to sample. I wouldn't know what they smell like no matter how long I look at their notes. Not to mention those brands are not available locally to me. Thanks though. Kouros would be a good lead for now.

did you know that buying perfum via ebay is to buy a real perfum bottle filled with fake perfum, right?

>>10734076
the majority of ebay sellers sell legit bottles
if you want most of the time you can spend a little extra to buy a sealed package

you wouldnt buy fragrance from a fishy website so why do all ebay sellers get demoted because you got rused from a fishy seller

what fragrance did you try to cop anyways you jew

>>10734090
well, I sold 10 empty bottles in ebay. I think that is not a good idea buy in there.

>>10734373
It's pretty weird how consistently good Carlos Santana-branded products are.

I hear his women's shoes line is actually decent.

Is it bad that I don't even give designer frags a chance anymore? I just write anything non-niche off as probably smelling to generic to be worth going out of my way to try and test and spend my money on when there's plenty of more interesting houses I could spend cash on.

>>10722022

I smelled some Versace shit the other day in a Dillard's, I wrote it down but later fell in a really cold river and lost most of my stuff, including the name of it. Any ideas? I can't go back seeing as I'm a couple hundred miles away at this point.

Got this as a Christmas present not sure what to do with it since I wear Creed Aventus in the summer and Fève Délicieuse pic related

>>10736715
Send it to me.

>>10736696
Very hit or miss. Go in a shop and smell one with high vetiver amounts, like Vetiver by Guerlain. That's better than trying to explain it.

>>10736715
love it

Just bought Burberry London.
I think it can get overpowering very quickly because of the cinnamon note.
How many sprays would you recommend?
I was thinking one in the hair, and one on each forearm.

>>10736696
Read: http://www.fragrantica.com/notes/Vetiver-2.html (You can also just google "What does Vetiver smell like" and some basenotes forums discussions will come up.

Vetiver is incredibly broad and often used as a base note in scents. And for that reason a fragrance with vetiver in it could end up smelling completely different from another fragrance with vetiver in it depending what the other notes are.

"Clean earthy" would be the way to blanket-term it but still, one use of vetiver could smell completely different in another use. Location of the vetiver also matters.

>>10736758
In addition to this, another suggestion is to smell vetiver essential oils to get an idea what it smells alone.

>>10736715
>Fève Délicieuse
How is it? I predict it'll reach meme-status in the coming months.

>>10736883

Thoughts /fa/? Minimal info on this stuff. Seems like the overpriced hipster of fragrance, but the hipster in me is so attracted to it.

>>10737245
It's pretty good stuff. I know the guys behind the brand and they did start from a genuine interest in crafting nice products. They've been doing it for almost ten years so. The branding and image is super typical mid-2000's heritage hipster type stuff but the products are good.

>>10736696
Some or all of the following qualities depending on the source, extraction and part of plant used: earthy, smoky, grassy, woody. As said, a very wide range.

not as expensive as TF but i really want to learn more about this "LA COLLECTION PRIVÉE CHRISTIAN DIOR"

>>10736715
A *designer* scent? Did your flesh burn when you touched it? God, it hurts to even look at the picture...

But seriously, what could possibly give you pause? Wear it if you like it, don't if you don't.

>>10737460
Is it cynical assuming niche scents are often like art, not necessarily good, just waiting for rich idiots to throw their money at them?

>>10737515
I mostly agree. There are certainly some niche scents that are outstanding and worth the price tag to me. I own a few myself. But to think for one second that price=quality is folly and exactly what their marketing departments want you to believe.

>>10737515
I wouldn't be quite that cynical, and I do think many niche houses make higher quality products since fragrance is exclusively their focus, like using natural ingredients vs. synthetic (not necessarily good or bad), and more intensive production methods, and a definite need to stand out from other niche competitors and the designer frags which vastly dominate the market.

Of course, all of that means very little to your actual enjoyment of a fragrance.

Hi,an outsider that stops in /fa/ for the frag threads-thanks for keeping them up! I'm looking for some nice winter colognes. I've been doing oud oils the last few years, almost exclusively. It's been quite an education, as each tree/grove location, type of distillation, ect is unique.
>>10724800 sandalwoods are the same. you can easily find this out yourself by burning sandalwood chips from different vendors.it's also fun on a date. you don't have to do the whole kodo ceremony thing.

>>10738278
Oud fan here too. Have a few samples from agaraura.com. Never burned the chips, though. I recently got a bunch of different Montales, and Aoud Cuir d'Arabie is possibly my favorite as it has a very true oud note few fragrances capture.

Don't hear Boss Bottled by Hugo Boss being discussed here ever. It's a really subtle fragrance and very affordable too. Also very safe for every occasion and every weather, excluding hot summer.

>>10740068
Well yeah. That sums it up. Not much to discuss, I suppose.
It does get recommended once in a while.

How much money would one spend montlhy if you want to use a fragance on yourself every time you go out? No top tier stuff, though. I mean, the most unexpensive (while still not "wearing" the same cologne every day).

>>10740499
The one I use most often still has about a quarter left of a 100 ml bottle after almost a year. But I'm a basement dweller, so I don't go out that often. If you really put something on you every day, sometimes multiple times on the same day, I guess you'd go through maybe 300-400 ml in a year? Do the math.

>>10723267
one is a proper perfume the other is a cologne, the longevity of the fragrance last about 3-4 times longer with a perfume

>>10740640
Dior Homme Intense and Dior Homme Parfum are both eau de parfum concentration. Perhaps you are thinking of something else?

>>10740499
Not sure exactly what you're getting at, but an average application is ~0.3ml. I'm sure you can do the math from there.

>>10740499
a 50mL bottle should last you about a year of regular use (based on my rate going ~1 mL a week, ymmv ofc)

It'll last a lot longer if you have options

>>10741202
Oh, I know why it's Creed. Because people actually like the scents and we can't have that in our little exclusive club.

>>10741202
poorboi detected

>>10742002
What are you on about? This thread loves some of the most popular scents out there: La Nuit de L'Homme, Aventus, Tobacco Vanille, to just name a few.

>>10742308
This thread maybe but jesus, never read some reviews on scent websites. There's literally people who rate scents low because they are known and liked by a big amount of people.
That and failed authors trying to write some sort of novel out of their review, basically making it into a 10 paragraph long metaphor about 1930s brooklyn to be interpreted by the reader what that has to do with the scent.

>>10742308
And the ones you named aren't even really the most popular, they're well known among people like here who go out of our way to find good scents, but the average joe going into the department store to find whatever he likes probably doesn't even know what creed and ysl are. They're going to take more normal stuff, your armani, dior, d&g, chanel etc. that everyone has heard about before.

>>10741426

And how do stores deal with theft anyways? That's pretty risky and you could get got.

Any info on these three?

1. CdG Blue Santal

2. Terre d'Hermes Eau Tres Fraiche

3. Norne Slumberhouse

>>10742379
In what country? Well, I guess USA since you mention Target. It's not nearly as known over here. I certainly have never heard of it before I got into perfume.

>>10742392
I'll add Tom Ford Grey Vetiver to the list even though it's not one I'm able to buy in decant right now

>>10742400
>never heard of Yves Saint Laurent

do you know what board you're on?

>>10742392
not Norne in particular, but Slumberhouse tends to discontinue their scents relatively quickly; each one is virtually a limited edition, though they have a few that have been around for two or three years so far

>>10742634
>before I got into perfume
And honestly, I don't care too much about fashion apart from that. And again, apparently much less known brand in Germany to begin with from what I can tell.

>>10742676
There isn't even a German wikipedia article for YSL (only the person), which is proof enough.

>>10742688
i still doubt the brand is somehow obscure in Germany as Saint Laurent was arguably the most famous designer of the 20th century, recently had two relatively high-profile biopics made about his life, and the fashion house he started (currently known as Saint Laurent Paris after decades known as Yves Saint Laurent) is still highly influential and successful

>>10742724
If google maps is to be believed, there's a whole 3 YSL stores in all of Germany. 2 of them in Berlin and one in Munich.

>>10742764
That's a decent number, as there are twenty total in Europe, spread throughout thirteen countries (likes of the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden and Norway not even having one).

>>10742781
Man, that's really weird. I seriously never heard of them before I watched that Jeremy guy's videos on fragrances. Every other designer that's selling fragrances that you can just go into a douglas store for or whatever I at least heard somewhere, at least in passing, before.

>>10742644
Thanks, a lot of the scents are mixed between love/like/dislike on fragrantica. They seem to have very interesting scents, I'm talking like a 1.5-2ml decant so I'll probably go for it since it's limited.

So is buying from Amazon a bad idea? I always hear conflicting stories ranging from horror stories to "it's legit". I'm assuming if it's sold directly from Amazon or the company itself (Versace, Dior, Creed, etc.) it's legit? I've never purchased from there and only ask because some stuff has a pretty noticeable price difference as anywhere else and obviously that seems suspect. For example Le Male isn't even $50.

la nuit for $37
cop?

>>10742676
>And again, apparently much less known brand in Germany to begin with from what I can tell.

lol you speak out of your ass

you can buy ysl in almost any drogerie shop
they have it in every muller

stop spouting bullshit

>ysl is not so known in germany
my sides

>>10742967
Double and triple check the seller.

>>10742970
Does not sound legit.

>>10743002
What if the seller is literally Amazon? There's still something suspect to me in my head about stuff like YSL L'homme being $50

>>10742967
I buy from amazon all the time. If it comes from amazon or a reputable fragrance seller, it's fine. Even if not, there are seller ratings there just like eBay.

Honestly, outside of street vendors or fly by night online sellers, the odds of getting a fake are slim.

>>10742923
i've only tried Pear+Olive, which is certainly very interesting and creative, though i'm not sure i completely like it and it's a bit too sweet for me anyway. definitely would like to more from them

>>10743021
>there are seller ratings there just like eBay.
you can't always trust seller ratings even if they have a lot of feedback and are 100%
for some items people don't even realize they're getting fakes and not knowing they got a fake one they just leave a positive feedback, i've seen that with watches and perfumes on ebay

>>10741202
Creed green irish tweed smells like the shit my middle school friends used to drench them selves in.

All of those other scents smell like high school and college kid frags

Like the type of kids who keep aqua di dio around

>Gran just gifts me sealed Fahrenheit Summer she had in her cupboard for years

I don't know if I should sell it for some extra cash or use it? Anyone tried it before?

>>10743032
I suppose then you can't trust any store period. There is always a chance of getting a fake. Good thing there are policies in place on amazon and eBay that protect the buyer from such things.

>>10743057
>I suppose then you can't trust any store period.
I didn't say that you fucking idiot
It's not my fault you're incompetent in distiguingishing legit sellers

>>10743014
You think that's particularly cheap? That's what it costs.

>>10743088
That escalated quickly.

lolno. the infographics for men's scents are complete shit, and 2/3 of the posters itt are teens wanting help getting laid (as if a fragrance alone will make that big of a difference)

anyways, here's a list of feminine scents i like:

A Lab On Fire What We Do In Paris Is Secret
Diptyque Tam Dao
Penhaligon's Ostara
Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan

Hermes Mandarine Ambree
Tom Ford Private Blend Champaca Absolute

L'Artisan Passage d'Enfer

>>10743026
Definitely go for Jeke/Ore/Norne if you don't like sweet. I've heard Norne smells like a natural forest so Im going to go for it, I just heard back that the decant is only 1-1.5 anyways.

>>10742967
Play it safe and buy from fragrancenet, lilydirect, or beautyencounter, they seem to have the best prices. Frangrancenet has an eBay store as well. Other legit eBay sellers include scentmonkey, foreverlux, perfumeempire, etc.

thief tips
check for rfids on the outside, stick them on the bottoms of shelves or snip them, find blind spots to conceal off-camera
desu stealing testers is kinda petty and I wouldn't
just ask for a sample or steal the boxed ones

putting them up your sleeve then transferrring to your pocket or bag is a good bet, try to take out your phone or smth in the same action the keep it less suspicious. don't try this with large bottles. thicker leather jackets work nicely to disguise the size and weight of larger items

if there's no towers between the beauty section and the bathrooms sneak them in their and snip any rfids and walk out

There's no oud in it, so I'm not sure what your friend was picking up on.
Fwiw samples on paper take much, much longer to develop than spraying on your skin. But if you don't like the opening, maybe it's just not for you.

Also, keep in mind it's more of a special occasion/date-night kind of deal, not for wearing to the office park on Wednesday morning. So yeah it's a little indulgent but that's the point. It does say opium on the bottle.

If you have friends who are women, take them with you to Sephora (or equivalent) and see what they respond to. Also, women are normies who like normie things. They'll respond to Old Spice and anything else that's generic. Try Bleu de Chanel and other popular stuff.

New to perfume/fragrance at all.

What are some benefits to wearing cologne? Have ya'll noticed different responses from people in your day to day lives (when you wear it that is)?

I've been lifting and getting better fitting clothing, and would be down to add a good cologne, though I don't want to blow a huge amount of money on my first one.

Would something like Rochas Man be good? Pretty cheap, has high reviews, was on that top 100 list that anon posted.

>>10747530
you're the type of guy who tells a girl not to order desert

Choosing between Wonderwood, Wonderoud and Amazingreen. Which do you think is #1? I could honestly barely tell the difference between Wonderwood and Wonderoud at the store I went to.

>>10747564
Lol, does that just mean I'm cheap? I'm not cheap, (well, I'll admit I kind of am) I just only buy expensive things if I'm informed enough on the subject to know I'm not getting ripped off. For example, if I'm paying a lot of money for expensive clothes, it had better be made out of good materials and not be made in China bullshit, regardless of the style.

Also take note that I'm a college student, I don't exactly have loads of dosh lying around

Smells great man.

>>10747859
Which one is that? MK has several frags that are named similarly. I tried and liked Michael for Men, but found it similar enough to Burberry London that I couldn't justify owning both.

>>10747530
Wearing a frag is just like wearing any other item. Some people like it, some don't, and most don't even notice.

If you are looking for a clubbing scent as opposed to a work scent, you could do a lot worse than Rochas Man. It's a sweet gourmand in the same vein as New Haarlem or Michael Jordan Legend. Depending on your workplace, wearing this might be construed like wearing shorts in a formal setting, but if you are gawn oot and you want the girls to go "yum," the price/performance ratio is excellent.

>>10747989
Thanks for the legitimate advice.

I wasn't planning on wearing cologne all the time, just when I'm going out to bars/clubs/festivals/dates, really just anything involving the ladies. From the reviews I'm seeing, and from what you're telling me, it works well in that purpose, so I might give it a shot.

guys im about to blind buy midnight in paris, ferragamo black, and hanae mori him. Is this a bad idea?

What do you guys think about McQueen fragrances? I have Black Nirvana, Flower Bomb, Flora by Gucci, and a celebrity fragrance I got as a gift when I was younger and I want something more interesting.

Michael Kors.
There are 3 versions. The original (Michael) a noticeable reformulation with different packaging (Michael Kors) and a re-release (Michael Kors for men).
I own Burberry London and they smell nothing alike. Have never heard of the comparison either..

>>10748027
MiP is very likable, although feminine. I own the EDP.

>>10747429
I once applied a cedarstorm sample, which has the same notes. It seemed weak after a while, so I tried to layer in some wonderwood, but I could barely even smell that at all, even right after spraying.
Until a couple days later when I'm doing laundry and my hamper is radiating wonderwood because of my undershirt.

There are six mentions in BN reviews as well.

>>10748027
Haven't smelled the other ones, F Black is good though. It changes between fresh, flowery and manly over the course of wearing it though.

Every person I know who smokes smells like absolute shit even though they wear cologne

Guys, what kind of scent do you like on a girl?

>>10749370
I like heavy stuff, not fresh, fruity crap most wear. Think Angel or Insolence.

what are the comfiest colognes you own lads?

>>10728604
I've heard bad things about the reformulation of la nuit, such as it being a lot weaker than the original formula. Is it still worth buying?
