Something for going out scent. Summer. Night times.
I like Bleu, Dior Homme Intense, Sauvage, TdH, so mostly basic bitch stuff. Just want something designer but not incredibly well known that will get compliments. Cheers

>>10931804
It's a lovely infographic. Much better than previous versions. The anon who created it deserves great praise.

sampled this about a year ago, thankfully in cold weather. even still, it is an aggressively dirty, musky, dank, leathery scent. i'd imagine you'd have to be older and rocking the right look/skin chemistry to pull it off—and that even still, it'd be difficult to pull off. more of a statement/concept fragrance than pleasant or pleasing.

Just bought l'eau d'issey, should get a lot of use of out of it here in Florida.

>>10932122
Also I'm a 25 y/o male in FL. I work in an office and usually wear a little l'eau d'issey at work. I really enjoyed Tom Ford oud wood and disliked tobacco vanille when I sampled them but they are a little too pricey for me. I like cool water as well and used to wear drakkar noir when I was much younger. I'd like to have 2-3 fragrances and that will cover most situations, I only have the issey at the moment.

Kouros is shit, but you sound retarded

TFW I dreamed of a fragrance in my collection that's as powerful as interlude man, sweet and dense and like leathery, but not cloying. TFW woke up and didn't have anything like that in my collection.

>>10935614
>Sauvage

I was thinking about either buying this one for the spring or L'eau de Issey, but I hear alot that Sauvage by Dior, which smells pretty good imo is a direct copy of Mont Blanc Legend, Abercrombie & Fitch Fiercy and Blue de Chanel. Is it worth spending this much on an unoriginal smell?

>>10932122
what's your age? I get the feeling L'eau de issey only works on 25+

>>10935845
Personally I don't much like L'eau d'Issey and if the only choice was these two, I'd take Sauvage. But the name is an amazing pun.

>>10931982
>arso
Lots of woods of different sorts. Almost burnt, like a fireplace. Pretty great.
>straight to heaven
Boozy ceder. Pretty minimal and short lived on me. It's like molecule 1 to me, but I haven't smelled it too many times. Molecule 1 took some time to develop for me. A bit sweet in after the drydown.
>portrait of a lady
VERY spicy, VERY flowery and powdery. Lasts for a long time and it's an awesome perfume. Just not for me, it's a bit overpowering.

>>10935850
why is that? its really light

>>10932240
cinnamon and rhubarb fucking shocked me first time. Pretty repulsive and something completely new.
Rhubarb is very bitter. Cinnamon is spicy in a weird way. I don't like the carnation, but I'm biased and don't like that in most scents.

I'm an early 30's male independent developer living in the rocky mountain area. I've pretty much exclusively used:

Jean Paul Gaultier, a few years, didn't like it too much
Kenneth Cole Black, loved it, used for over a decade

I'm looking for similar fragrances to Kenneth Cole Black that aren't so mall pleb tier.

>>10936487
speaking of leau dissey pour homme, you might like it.

>>10931964
What are the longest holding scents you know, somethibg like DHI or Joop! Homme? (Only designer Fragrances)

got some samples
Oxford and cambridge Czech & Speake
comes on smelling like a lavender oil burner, but the dry down is pretty nice, not that hard to wear desu
Heeley - sel marin
fucking brilliant fragrance, definitely has a time and a place though.
Bond no 9 -New york oud
way too much musk and not enough oud. pretty badly balanced imo. has potential but the under notes arent strong enough
Azure Lime - easy to wear and pretty pleasant but is this really a fking $300 fragrance? fuck sake
New York (nicolai)
very, very nice, and very wearable

>>10936636
I find it fascinating, but it is certainly not a crowd pleaser. I included it because you asked for woodsy/earthy and it is very much that.

>>10931982
guerlain - vetiver is horrible. smells like old person

>>10935845
got sauvage instead of eau sauvage for christmas.

its bad

>>10936686
Also - impulse bought Zagorsk the other day
slightly regretting it but im glad to have it in my collection
smells like a pine forest

>>10936723
Eau sauvage is a (the least bad smelling one imo but still) "old people smell" fragrance. Sauvage is a cash-in sweet whatever fragrance. They're both not very good.

i usually understand the liking behind fragrances, even if i don't agree with it.
however, i really can't wrap my head around the liking of sauvage, or the comparison to a 'brighter' bleu de chanel.
bleu de chanel has a wonderful grapefruit, masculine, incense vibe, while sauvage just smells musty to me and I can't smell anything likable about it.

>>10931801
i request spice fragrances options and don´t you dare ignore my dubs

>>10936739

Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum
Encre Noire
Vince Camuto
Vetiver Guerlain
Terre d'Hermes
L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme


How far off track am I? Any that aren't worth my time? Am I missing anything glaring?

>>10936804
If you avoid spraying the front of your neck or face, that should prevent most olfactory fatigue. Feels like a 3 spray frag to me, so if you are only doing one or two, try one or two more sprays. Outside of that, the nose is a funny thing. On fragrantica's longevity slider, even the beasts of legend like Joop! Homme have a handful of people voting "poor."

Ok guys, since Spring is comming, I would live to hear your best spring/summer scents. Bonus points for long holding Scents, since all summer scents I got arent long lasring

>>10936707
I thought the same the first couple times I tried it, but now it is one of my favorites. It's more of a tobacco scent than vetiver for me.

>>10936490
except in this this general where everyone seems to want dark woody spicy shit

Someone tested issey miyake l'eau d'issey ?
I am the guy from >>10936933
and found this one, what do you think, sounds great, citrus flowers and fresh, isnt too expensive and as I have read holding good to long?

Do you guys wear perfume when you go to school (college/uni)? Or is it only for when you go out somewhere? I'm clueless when it comes to this stuff

Just happened tonight
>go out for a quick coffee
>spray on some old YSL La Nuit, not to waste the better ones
>waitress compliments it like three times

Why do only the most basic scents get appreciated in real life

>>10937190
I own some, got it uber cheap because my ex had some sort of Sephora credit.

It doesn't have a long stay and isn't super memorable, but I like it as a sort of everyday scent, especially during the summer. Girls tend to prefer my other scents (YSL L'Homme, weirdly enough) moreso than the Issey Miyake.

>>10937191
Yeah I wear some everytime I go somewhere. And sometimes even when just sitting at home because I like it.

>>10937193
Because "interesting" fragrances aren't exactly made to be liked by people.

>>10937205
I know, I know. At least one of my friends is into this stuff. He recently got Aesop Marrakech Intense, so jelly

>>10937211
That said, in my laymans nose's opinion, La nuit has a really nice development over the course of wearing it, where many other fragrances are only pretty much "it smells the same just weaker".

>>10937211
>Aesop Marrakech Intense
huh this sounds neat i ordered a sample

>>10937239

If you've tried both Gucci II Pour Homme and Hanae Mori HiM, what is it that makes one more of a winter scent while the other is more summer?

They're really similar to me, but I like HiM better. Is there any issue with wearing it in the spring?

Listen to what that guy did with his buddy.
>>10946727

There's multiple ideas of how a fragrance can smell, sweet, fruity, musky, fresh, woody, leathery, like candy, spicy, oriental, flowery, you name it.
Go to some review site and look which ones have high rankings in the different things, try them out, not too many at once. Make a note of the notes you like the most and look for more fragrances that go in that direction.
Repeat until one day when you smell on a new perfume it feels like you just had a revelation from God.

The latter has wank projection though. Beware.

I've always worn Hugo Boss (I have tried most of them). What is /fa/'s opinion on their frags? I'm just starting to get into it so I'd like some opinions if you guys don't mind.

I'm 23m, it's coming into autumn now, I'm pretty active, but in the gym it's usually just deodorant. I'd like to start my collection out small, maybe one for work (work as a personal trainer) and one for general out of the house (so maybe something versatile that I could wear out formally but could also wear during the day). Anything you guys would recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thoughts?

At the risk of being called an idiot, I need some help /frag/. I'm new to this whole thing and am curious about buying outside of department stores. Specifically Amazon, Fragrancenet, etc. I notice the prices are much cheaper compared to the department store prices (for example, Le Male is $90 at Macy's, but $50 on Fragrancenet reduced to $37 with sales) so I'm really hesitant to actually purchase anything. Is this shit legit? If so how? Or is it one of those "if it's too good to be true, it probably is" type things?

>>10953674
Fragrancenet, fragrancex, strawberrynet, beautyencounter, are reliable

I'd only buy from Amazon if it's sold by Amazon itself. Or you can treat it like eBay, look feedback and seller rating and make a judgment call

>>10953674
Do not buy on amazon. Even if it says its fron the original brand. Dont know why but there are almost most of the time fakes. The other internet stores you named should be valid, look for trusted shop certification. I always buy on parfum-group. (europe)

Anybody else here like Hugo Boss: The Scent? I enjoy it but I feel others may find it too intense.

>>10956112
It's actually not intense to me at all. Just sweet. Smells like a club-oriented young scent. Personally I don't think it's unique enough to be bottle worthy unless you're set on it specifically among smell-alikes.

>>10952360
Lalique is the only good one of those three

>>10953100
I wore this layered w Bond no 9 Signature last night and it was so sexy. I'd do me.

Is there somewhere you can check when exactly a new announced scent comes out?
Yes, I'm a pleb and talking about L'homme ultime. Everywhere I've seen just says February.

I'm looking for a spring/summer scent. Male, 25, Indiana weather so warmish, sometimes rainy springs and hot summers. I have a bottle of l'eau d'issey summer 2006 that I like a lot but don't love. I've always liked acqua di gio but it's a little plain and mall-teir. I like aventus too, but I don't plan on spending more than $100 or $200. I don't like most things with carraway, a powdery scent, or strong vetiver. In the fall and winter I usually wear Burberry London.

>>10957555
Have you tried the regular Eau d'Issey?

>>10957577
Yeah I just did yesterday. I prefer the summer one. I think the fresh and clean aspect of the summer one works better with the notes they have.

>>10957584
Do you have a l'Occitane en Provence near you?

>>10957594
The closest one is about two hours away, but I visit that city a few times every year.

I just bought L'Homme Libre by Yves St-Laurent.

Any thoughts?

>>10960215

I got it as a blind buy when it first came out, unfortunately I lost it along with the rest of my collection when I moved.

I remember it was OK, I wasn't absolutely crazy about it but it wasn't a bad scent either. It's pretty much a summer only evening/night scent IMO, it's just a little too cloying for daytime use... but I suppose you can pull it off if you apply conservatively.

>>10960165

Dans tes Bras masterrace report in

Is it a refugee thing to spray yourself 10-20 times? In Germany, literally the last 5 times I've been in a fragrance store, there's been at least one swarthy dude who's gone in to double-digits spraying himself around the head and shoulders.
Just saw two guys get kicked out of a Douglas for this. Maybe it's coincidence, but I've only seen this in the past couple months.

Also, it's almost always been something from the Dior line. Can't hold that against them I suppose.

i bought ysl l'homme libre
any thoughts? did i do well?
im new to fragrances

>>10962032
Do you like it?

>>10947047

Why the fuck did you deny it? You thought she was going to think you naturally smelt like that?

I'm relatively new to the whole fragrance thing, would appreciate some suggestions.

I'm a dude, 33, I tend to like bigger, bolder, sweeter, spicier scents. I also love marine notes.

My favorite at the moment is Creed Imperial. I love the sweet, but not too sweet, citrus and fruit notes, as well as the subtly salty marine notes. I get tons of comlimepents on this one.

I like Versace Eros as well. Big fan of the fresh mint and vanilla notes.

I like, but don't love, 1 Million (the original). It's not something I'd wear on a date or a big event, but I wear it around the house and sometimes to bed. I like the amber and rose notes, and the sweet "bubblegum" scent, but it might be a little too sweet and cloying.

I like Creed Royal Water quite a bit, interesting mix of sweet citrus and basil, with a nice, woody dry down. I don't think I like it enough to justify Creed prices, though.

Creed Virgin Island Water is kind of fun, too, but for sure not worth 350.00.

I did not like Green Irish Tweed. Just smelled like a clump of moss to me. Wasn't a fan of Himalaya, either, had some similar earthy, green notes I didn't like. Silver Mountain Water just smelled like a blast of sour honey and vinegar to me, thought it dried down ok.

Aventus, I like, though I expected a little more, somehow. I expected a scent that's supposed to evoke a conquering emperor to be a little... bigger, somehow. Nice, but a little too subtle for my taste.

Amouage Jubilation XXV: Imordered a larger sample because people said you may need to give that one some time. Straight up smells like cheap Indian dollar store incense to me.

Any recommendations? Any other info you guys need? I'd appreciate any help, thanks.

If my Luckyscent newsletter is anything to go by, looks like Volutes by Diptyque (both the EdP and EdT) is getting discontinued. It was a great scent ;_;7

Also several of the less popular Tom Ford Private Blends: Fleur de Chine, Lys Fume, Jonquille de Nuit, Italian Cypress, and Azure Lime.

>>10962142
>Aventus
>subtle

Jesus, really? Just find a vintage bottle of 80s Drakkar Noir and you won't have to worry about subtlety anymore.

>>10962159
Well, maybe subtle was the wrong word. I was expecting more sweetness from the pineapple.

>>10962150
>Fleur de Chine, Lys Fume, Jonquille de Nuit, Italian Cypress, and Azure Lime

any of these TFPBs worth looking into in case they are gone?

Hey guys, I was searchin for a summer frag. and read something about Kenzo Homme. As I got it it was pretty popular in the 90'st and I baught myself 35ml for 10€. How is it, is it still nice? Can you still wear it?

>>10959906

tuscan leather is a quality fragrance tho

>>10962214
azure lime smells good for the first hour dry down is trash
italian cypress is literally cinnamon toast crunch cereal(awful)
i didnt even know the other 2 existed
they didn't sell well for a good reason

>>10962032
Bought it too, I'm the one who posted earlier in the thread.

2 days with the perfume as of right now. Only had good comments, my gf really loves it. It gets her all worked out and shit.

I highly recommends. It doesn't smell too juvenile or too old, which is perfect for me.

I wanna smell like trees. What are some good cedar scents?

>>10964980
haha burn sum fat blunts if ya tryna smell like mad trees hahaha

>>10964985
quality post

>>10963614
afaik there arent comparatively a whole lot of perfumes with accompanying moisturiser and bodywash. when i go frag shopping i dont notice them anyway. one thing you could look into is things like the body shop who have multiple products for the same scent - a friend got me a fijian water lotus gift pack which came with a 10ml edt and a bottle of body lotion. maybe try something like that??

lol I just use cheap arab oils that someone told me about. The scent stays for much longer as no alcohol is used, and they smell better too.

hi guys

21 y.o male here

good looking, tall, confident masculine guy who makes dance music and likes film (probably irrelevant but just trying giving you an idea of who i am?)

i moved to the city recently and am on the market for a nice scent. i would research myself but i know there are a lot of you who obsess over cologne. maybe one of you could give me some recs. any suggestions are appreciated.

only looking for something to wear out while going to shitty bars/tiny clubs. budget is about $150usd/$200cad

nothing fruity, something pretty dark and handsome but nothing old man-ish or musky

thanks

>>10970931
I just received my full bottle of Bond No. 9 Bleecker St. It was a blind buy and this is my first test wear, but I'm really enjoying it. Green, fruity, fresh. Will alternate with Armani Essenza for the coming months.

>>10972186
I don't know much about niches but check out..
Spice bomb
la Nuit D'Meme
TdH
Dior Homme Intense

I would say they're pretty much blind buys.

>>10972575
That was phrased wrong so nobody jump on me saying those arent niches.

Now if I understand correctly, you're supposed to wear warm scents in the cold months and coler scents in the warm months.
Also warmer scents at night than during the day.
What would you wear on warm summer nights?

>>10970931
I'm looking forward to wearing a couple recent additions to my paltry summer wardrobe: Premier Figuier and Eau Aimable.

>>10973509
If there are scents that people deem "spring" or "autumn" these may fit what you're referring to. But yes there are scents that work well on a summers evening. Sometimes the only chance you get to crack out some colder scents during summer.

>>10936982
Same here, however i feel like its more sharp lemon / lemongrass with tobacco than vetiver. Saying that, it all depends on weather, temperature and environment as sometimes it feels almost too sweet, sometimes very dry.

I tried to get into all these fragrances people rave about, but I just can't do it.

Dior Homme Intense is just too powdery for me. I don't want to smell like lipstick.
Midnight in Paris also is too powdery. Too much rubber smell.
LIDGE was okay after the 6 hour mark, but the first 6 hours I thought I smelled like an old woman in a fur coat.
Green Irish Tweed just smelled like leather and grass clippings to me. Wasn't my thing.
Tried Reveal Men by Calvin Klein because people told me I should. Smelled like the rubber balls from elementary school.

Tried the cheapies that people rave about, but I don't think they are all that similar.

Club de Nuit Intense Armaf is probably the closing Aventus clone, but I think the first 15 minutes have a vomit/rotten vibe going on.
Insurrection II Pure smells more like a cedar trunk than the birch I get from Aventus.
Silver from Al-Rehab starts to smell like floor cleaner rather than Silver Mountain Water.
Nautica Voyage is nice, I guess. For whatever reason I just don't like the sour apple type smell.
Rochas Man and Michael Jordan Legend don't smell like New Haarlem. They're not bad, but they smell closer to each other than anything else.

I think my sense of smell is broken.

>>10974838

Just happened to purchase a 100 ml edt and deo gift set today and am wearing it now. Woody fresh. On my skin I get cedar, patchouli, pepper, and vetiver, tied together with a fruity musk. I've seen this called generic by some reviewers, but i don't agree with that. Yes GO is super smooth in character and won't offend anybody, but it has a nice complexity and in no way smells cheap.

It can be worn for a variety of occasions. However, I see it more as a daytime / professional type of fragrance. Not necessarily my idea of a night / romantic scent. Will wear to work and while out shopping. This is an all-season type of fragrance in my opinion.

I bought the gift set for $90 using some store credit from an exchange. I see the 100 ml edt for around $40 online, which I'd say is an excellent deal for a perfume of this quality.

Bought Edition Blanche today.
I think it smells awesome.

ELdO Fils de Dieu... and Amouage Dia Man

for warm weather scents, i already have Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte, but I'm not really a fan of it anymore. also own but rarely use Acqua Di Gio (gift from my sister) and Clinique Happy For Men (which i get purely for nostalgia as i wore it in high school and was the first fragrance i really liked)

I bought a 60 ml Molecule 01 clone (Iso E Super) from an ebay seller, and it's great stuff. Never sprung for the real thing, but the clone is reportedly 20% compared to 10% for the Escentric blend.

The Iso E Super really layers well with woody and green fragrances. By itself I don't smell much beyond pencil shavings, but I like combining it with other scents. Not bad for $18 / 60 ml.

>>10975358

Love it. Leather, saffron and raspberry.

I live in Australia so it's coming up to autumn, I'm looking for one or two good value scents (doesn't matter if its smaller volume to save me money). I need scents that can alternate between everyday use, and going out clubbing occasionally (this doesn't phase me too much because clubbing where I live is pretty feral, so no db will know what there smelling).
Basically, want to scents for good price to get me through autumn and mabye winter.

There are several TL alternatives out there. After reading the threads, weighing opinions, money and pros and cons, I purchased LY and I fucking love it. It isn't exactly cheap, but like TL, it's a two spray max scent and lasts all day. And like many, I actually like it a little more than TL.

I appreciate it for: 1. The fact that the guy can draw and 2. I just get a bit envious of the characters (i.e I wouldn't mind being fucking ripped and hung like hell)

And yes, I do know that saying "I'm not gay but I can appreciate gay shit" makes me seem gay.

what was the name of that fragrance that boasted about being all green ingredients?

So I was at that Saporra and after 5minutes of listening to a rep talk to me about cologne (never used before), I decided to buy the toilet de eau Drakkar for $70.

After using it for a week, I called and she's NOW telling me that the toilet brand doesn't last for more than 6 hours. Why the fuck would I buy this sit if it fades so easily?

What else can I use? I want to be the guy everyone says "OMG HE SMELLS SO GOOD (though it's too strong)".

I'm tired of having no smell

Male / Asian / 29
~$150 Spring/Summer
Daily Use
I usually use CdG Man 2 or Aesop deodorant as a fragrance in the summer

Looking for something subtle and intriguing, niche, and refined. Something females would be interested in and nothing too floral or citrusy.
