For anyone looking for fragrance suggestions, give as much information as possible about what you want.

Helpful info could include gender, price range, climate/season, use (work/clubbing/etc.), notes/families you like/dislike, and other perfumes you've tried and liked/disliked.

I am, and I've just started mid last year. I haven't really spent all that much except on fragrances I really liked though. Most of my collection are samples. What's the point of owning full bottles or even expensive decants and splits when most houses, even niche ones, can be pressed into supplying an unlimited supply of samples?

So my addiction deals with me hunting down notable scents as a pastime every week and cominng home with armfuls of samples to slowly test over time.

Easy one here: I really like incense. Amber and tobacco as well, but I'm looking for fragrances with incense as the main note.

I've tried Avignon, Bois d'Encens, Encre Noir (more vetiver though) all excellent. Just curious to see what else is out there.

I like Versace pour Homme. Apparently, so do a lot of people. I smell it--or something like it--on a lot of people.

I'm seeking a scent that's similar but less common and/or generic--for around the same price.

Chanel Allure Homme Sport is similar and less common, only it's too expensive.

perry ellis 360 red smells like a spicier and longer lasting aqua di gio, but that's probably what you mean by not generic.

i would honestly just save up for CAHS eau extreme, it's heavenly and gets amazing reactions from people.

if you're just looking for a nice freshie, nautica voyage, ed hardy's love and luck, 360 red, versace man eau fraiche are all solid choices and are in your range.

Thoughts on blind buying La Yuqawam? I love Tuscan Leather and most people say it's 95% the same, but decants on this bottle are crazy expensive and I figured I might just bite the bullet. Thoughts?
>>
>>11036749
I think it's great.
It's sweet, sour and animalic. The citrus, vanilla, suede combo is pungent in the beginning. I can clearly see why someone would hate it. Definitely not a blind buy, even to leather lovers.
When it calms down, the suede and woods make a nice combo. Tonka binds together the three extremes in the beginning and gives it a sweetish drydown.
>>
>>11037411
if you like alternative incense scents: cdg 2man, amouage interlude man/woman.
The other cdg incense series are really good too. I like ouarzazate and jaisalmer. Zagorsk is more piney and kyoto is kyoto, popular for a reason.
I heard a lot of good about bois d'ascese.
If you like incense, I'd like to recommend one without any incense... But it reminds me of the qualities of incense that I like: Mona di Orio - Vanille. Not at all a "sweet" vanilla scent. It's pungent, smoky, BOOZY, spicy. Just awesome.

I blind purchased LY without having ever tried TL. To my nose, LY is all raspberry, saffron, and leather, in that order. I think the saffron is what surprised me most about LY, and it took me a few uses to accept that note.

Generally speaking I'm glad to own LY, though I sort of wish I had tried Tobacco Blaze instead. If you're unsure about LY, Beautyspin sells a sample vial for a few dollars.

I use it for everyday use; I always get complimented on smelling nice.

I only found out about it because my mom got it for her husband. After 2 years of smelling it and not having it I went and bought it for myself.

>Been smellin' good ever since
>>
>>11038861
Personally, I don't think so. Surely, the sillage is quite strong but it's also an uplifting fragrance. I think it'll do well, but I'd only go for a single spray in the summer. Either way it's a well crafted fragrance and a good one in a collection by any accounts. Highly distinctive
>>
>>11039265
great cheapie, although slightly aggressive

really nice for cutting through cold with that peppe note.

>>11038861
as far as seasons go, it's pretty fall/winter exclusive. that being said, it isn't quite as heavy as TL, so if you're careful on the trigger you could probably get away with it, assuming you're not in 100 degree heat and know where to apply it.

Totally new to fragrances, but I'm interested.

Is the purpose to compliment your natural smell, or to cover it? How does your soap/shampoo play into this; are unscented absolutely necessary? Do you guys go for representations of scents, or genuinely try to emulate them.

I'm trying to nail down a fragrance for the fledgling aesthetic I'm working on, but my issue lies in that concepts I'm associating with are generally... unpleasant.
>>
>>11040886
Compliment, usually
Not really necessary
Both

Post the concepts, I'm sure there's something that could work, even if they're unpleasant.
>>
>>11040886
>Is the purpose to compliment your natural smell, or to cover it?
compliment. perfumes change, sometimes greatly, from person to person as the fragrance oils react with each individual's skin chemistry. what smells good on another my not smell so good on you

>How does your soap/shampoo play into this; are unscented absolutely necessary?
i don't think it really matters as the fragrance from soaps and deos don't last long enough or have the same interaction with your skin. soaps and shampoos are washed out quickly; deodorant fragrance don't project out from the armpit, and don't project enough at all to clash if think you might be getting intimate with someone (and at that point, i doubt anyone is going stop because of any clashing). still, most recommend an unscented deo.

>Do you guys go for representations of scents, or genuinely try to emulate them.
>my issue lies in that concepts I'm associating with are generally... unpleasant.
do you mind elaborating on both these comments? i'm not sure what you mean.

Thanks for the response.

I've been ruminating on the aesthetic I've been trying to establish, and I've come to the conclusion that it's basically just Goth. Buuuut let's not call it that.

So heavy and dark, obviously. I may dip into abstractions here... Kind of occult, maybe, but maybe still with that element of a horrific 90s cyber-rave... Somewhere between TRST and Exmilitary. I'm explaining this poorly but I have a good idea of it mentally, haha. I appreciate any indulgence granted to this ridiculous request.

Fragrances interact with your body chemistry. A fragrance can smell different on different people. But if you love a fragrance that doesn't love you, you can try wearing it on your clothes--though it usually won't last as long.

Unscented soap/shampoo is not absolutely necessary. It's enough that the scents don't clash. Soaps and shampoos are usually not a problem because they tend to be mild-smelling and hard to smell from afar. However, shaving creams and aftershaves can be. Of course, a problem is also an opportunity. I pair my citrus-vanilla cologne with a lime-apple shaving cream. No one else smells quite like me. Experiment. Failing that, you could always buy an aftershave version of your fragrance if one is available. That may be more about boosting longevity and saving money though.

As for representation versus emulation, my favorite example is musk. Synthetic musk is reminiscent of musk--minus the smell of zoo.

P.S. If you're looking for unpleasant, (non-synthetic) musk might do.

Hey guys, I need a nice long lasting spring/ summer scent.
So I cant decide between Acqua di gio parfumo and Tom Ford grey vetiver (edp). which is better, lasts longer and can I buy them as a blind pick or do I have to test them first?
>>
>>11042472
>YSL homme or la nuit, for everyday use
both are fine for that. la nuit is not quite the club/date night scent it used to be but i still like it.

just remember to la nuit is best suited to cold weather and i wouldn't wear it in late spring and summer. original l'homme is best for warmer weather, but versatile enough imo for use in fall/winter as well
>>
>>11042626
for summer, certainly ADG

if you still want grey vetiver, definitely sample that one first and don't blind buy. if you like spicy aquatics, ADG is an easy blind buy, but if that's a lot of money to you, definitely sample first.

Molecule 01 says "professor" to me for some reason. Buy generic though, not the proper Escentric version.
>>
>>11043309
Could you explain what it actually is?
Is it a generic ingredient or what?
>>
>>11043334
Molecule 01 is the brand name given to a solution of Super E Iso that was first sold by Escentric. Super E Iso is used as an ingredient in other fragrances such as Encre Noir. It smells of Cedar / pencil shavings. You can find homemade versions on ebay for cheap and most sellers formulate their version with a higher concentration of the actual Super E Iso (say 20 percent versus 10).

I like to layer Super E Iso with any woody or floral fragrance. It is fun on its own but it's really subtle and I have a hard time catching the scent when I'm wearing it.

Fresh cops, arrived today. Fragrancenet for the Bonds, Barney's New York for the Ralph Lauren Purple Label.

So I can confirm that RL Purple is similar to Bond Bleecker Street, but only at the opening. RL Purple is less sweet and more herbal. It is an EDT concentration, laid back and less "bright" smelling than the Bond. As a result, it also comes across as more masculine and slightly more formal than Bleecker, which I see as a truly all-purpose and everyday fragrance.

The Scent of Peace for Men is basically high rent Axe Phoenix. I hate saying that because this is actually a very pleasant and well blended scent.

I haven't tried Wall Street on skin yet, but on paper it's a powerful cucumber and salt water aquatic. I really look forward to wearing it in hot weather.

Its a darn good fragrance, but a bit expensive on the designer side.

If I was you I would actually get the original Spicebomb or the new Extreme version and just go light on the trigger. I would doubt that the Eau Fraiche version would be worth the pretty penny. Plus with the original/Extreme versions you could use them comfortably again when Winter rolls around.

To be honest, I haven't smelled my professors before but I think I remember one left his cologne in the classroom before, dunno why he had it in the first place, but he probably had it in his bag and removed and forgot to put it back, then again who goes around putting their cologne in their bag.

Anyways, the cologne was The One by Dolce and Gabanna or at least I think it was, it didn't have a cap.

What do you normally like in scent? YSL L'homme is an obvious rec. TdH-etF is also really well liked. 7411 original is cheap and really good. I like the smell of D'Issey pour homme in the summer too.

I'll just leave this here. Not that I usually agree with whatever reviewers say, but I agree 100% that this is a screechy, metallic fragrance that opens with the coldest, bitter citrus I've tried in a long time. Really offputting, but if you think it can grab you chicks, go for it.

I'm 20 and I want to wear something during the day/to uni this spring/summer. Also, I don't want it to be too expensive, somewhere in the 360 Red price range. I had Midnight in Paris and La Nuit de L'Homme and liked them both. What would you recommend?
>>
>>11044924
To increase longevity, apply unscented moisterizer on skin before applying perfume. For greater projection (longevity too) you can sprits some into hair. Some people say the alcohol can damage hair, but does anyone care?

Hate to give that answer, but it completely depends on what fragrance you're using. You can go with a single spray of anything from Serge or Chanel and that'll be enough, but for any Diptyque I'd go for three, and you can douse yourself in Hermes' Jardin series (or heaven forbid, Jo Malone) and it'll still vanish before 5 hours are out. Really depends.

Hey guys. Where do I start looking for a new cologne as a complete pleb who hasn't used one since the last decade?
I'm a 23 year old male, 6'1 and overweight with a large build. I tend to have a very straight forward demeanor, loud booming voice and am told I have lots of presence so I want to capitalize on this by getting a masculine smelling cologne. I tend to go to lots of professional and formal events so I'd prefer a cologne that would work there, I club much less often. In general I want something that would give a kind of dominant manly feel and I really dislike fruity or floral scents unless they're more of a subtle accent.
Does anyone know something that could work for me?
>>
>>11045050
If you don't just like the smell of Tuscan leather, but actually like how it smells on you, then get it.
>>
>>11045094
Pretty much every cologne has some fruit or floral scent, and for good reason. There are exceptions like Escentric Molecule 01, 02, and 03, which you can find clones of for cheap.. It sounds like Creed Aventus or Creed Green Irish Tweed would work for you. Aventus is known for being a very good professional or formal scent, though it works for pretty much everything.
>>
>>11045217
Oh I don't mean I entirely hate floral. I meant to say that I don't want it to be the primary component of the scent. Thank you for the suggestion, looking into it Creed Aventus seems to be exactly what I wanted. Do you think it's worthy of a blind buy? It certainly sounds perfect from all the reviews and description.
>>
Hey, guys, I started buying fragrances, and I want to evolve to Eau de Parfums, how good is Montale? I see tons of unisex reviews, I'm interested in Vetiver des Sables and Mango Manga.- hope you guys can help me.
>>
>>11045271
f....sorry, I'm male
>>
>>11045264
Aventus is really exactly what you want. It's expensive but smells "large and in charge". You won't mind its fruit notes as they're nicely blended with the birch and smoke.
>>
Aventus is nauseating t/b/h/. It doesn't work for me.

>>11045264

never ever, especially on stuff that retails for ~$300 a bottle unless you don't mind potentially wasting that much money

eau de parfum is just a concentration of perfume oil diluted in alcohol. It most often goes like this, but varies from company to company:
Most diluted - Most concentrated
Eau de cologne/body mist/body spray/any other bullshit - eau de toilette - eau de parfum - parfum - perfume oil/attar.
Some houses make differences between their edp and edt versions of the same fragrance and make them different compositions by switching out a few notes, so they're basically not the same fragrance even if they have the same name. For example, narcisso rodriguez for women, the pink and the black bottles contain different scents.
On the subject of Montale; Not a clue, mate.

>>11046097

>>
>>11045264
No, don't blind buy. Creed doesn't work with everyone, and it's also a divisive fragrance. look at the other comments to see people that hate it. if you're insecure and don't want to offend anyone, then don't get aventus. If you want something like that then Eau Moderne

Does sweat ever interfere with your fragrance?
I've noticed Bleu De Chanel changes to this body spray type of a smell if I'm heavily sweating.
How do you guys control it if you do sweat like a fucking rapist?
>>
Anyone ever try concentrated thioacetone? I'm not going to be a boring, lowest common denominator wall flower like some of you with your normcore tom fords and your Creeds. I put about a dozen sprays of thioacetone on me in the morning, and it works. People look at me with an expression that says they've never smelled anything remotely like this. When I leave my dorm building in the morning, people on the opposite end of campus know it.
>>
>>11047343
that's part of the beauty of fragrances to me, learning how it interacts with your body chemistry

if you don't like it, there's not much you can do about it other than try another fragrance that meshes well with your skin. versace eau fraiche works wonders when you start to sweat

Thoughts on Givenchy Gentlemen Only and Dolce and Gabbana The One for Men?
I'm looking for something that is not too sweet, and has a crisp, fresh feel, even on hot days.
>>
>>11048344
Gentlemen Only is actually pretty sweet smelling. It's citrus, wood, vetiver, and pink pepper. I think it's nice enough and it certainly qualifies as fresh, but I don't reach for it often. The Casual Chic flanker might be more worth checking out.
>>
>>11044873

I'm not sure where your from but Gucci Guilty (and other similar colognes) is definitely overplayed where I am.

My recs are definitely unique to where I am, especially Boss Bottled Intense
>>
>>11046089
I guess I'll blind buy one... 170$ though, I'll base myself in the tons of good opinions, hope they pay out xd
>>
>>11044924

Not much ways really, if you can get your hands on the after shave version of your cologne then it will help in projection and longevity.

Also, over spraying a cologne does not make it last longer, it will just make the projection stronger.
>>
>>11044924

Also, don't rub your wrists, I find it very uneffective.

Usually I only spray 2-3 times on my neck front/side depending on the strength of the cologne.
>>
>>11045027
I would rec the original L'Homme by YSL. Its nothing like the La Nuit version but its probably the best daytime spring/summer cologne. It was actually my "signature scent" back in my undergrad days at HPU and I got compliments from it too.

As for price, its not as cheap as Perry Ellis but its getting discounted a little bit online if you check fragrancenet and those other discounters.

A cheaper alternative getting even more discounted is Boss Bottled and Boss Bottled Intense. Both are amazing and would work great in the Spring/Summer day in college. The intense version is basically the original amped up with a touch of sweetness.
>>
>>11045094

My personal suggestion would be The One EDP by Dolce & Gabbana, its an amazingly masculine scent and would work wonders in the professional environment.
>>
>>11041000

check'd

sounds like you want something dark and perhaps a bit mysterious

my personal suggestion is Man in Black by Bvlgari, its an amazing scent and also has a very dark vibe to it.

Another suggestion is Black XS by Paco Rabanne, which to me has a sort of gothic vibe with its dark yet sweet strawberry like scent.
>>
>>11042626
Yes, the Profumo version of ADG is win in this category,

as for the Tom Ford scent, I would not blind buy that at all, its expensive and I remember smelling it before and not being amazed.

I would also suggest L'Homme by YSL, it works great all year round and not just in the summer/spring time. It smells fresh yet slightly sweet. It also lasts a pretty long time around a good solid five hours.
>>
>>11048740

hey bro, dude you must got a lot of $$$ to blind buy those scents. They are expensive and you should definitely at least pay for a sample before getting the big thing.

A rule of thumb for buying a fragrance is that you do not need to spend a lot of $$$ to smell great/sexy/unique or whatever. And you hope that it will "pay out"?

There are tons of designers that could do as well as niche and perhaps better.

Montale is shit m8. who needs 100+ variants, especially when they all smell like synthetic oud?
>>
>>11048899

Eh, I don't want to rag on it too much, personally think it is a good scent and pretty potent for a fresh/clean scent.

I mostly don't like it because it got me in trouble at work (office) one time because one of my coworkers thought it was too powerful and made her allergies go wild. And keep in mind I don't overspray, I usually just go 2-3 sprays. Basically, this event shaped my thinking on 212. I still have the same bottle and have not used it since.

Ironically I still bought the 212 VIP version and rock that every once and awhile.

Hmm, I think part of why I like it is that when I was 17 my dad took me to the college I was starting. We shared a hotel room for a few days and he'd spray the 212 after his shower in the bathroom.
I was starting college far from home, so I was pretty excited, nervous and all that.
So now I always get taken back to the feeling I had during that time, you know of being excited for the independence, nervous from being so far from home.

no, there are 2 eau savauges. the variant we're discussing is sauvage. sauvage is a great, youthful smell, eau savage is a classier, gentlemanly scent and will come off oldmanish in the hands of a young adult

>>11049852
There is only one fragrance named Eau Sauvage. Not sure why people think otherwise.
>>
>>11048740
If there were any house I'd recommend someone NOT blind buying, it's Montale. Unless you were very comfortable with oud already, maybe. That said, Aoud Cuir d'Arabie is climbing my ranks in to one of my favorite scents, but I like the skanky dirty leather and oud vibe.
>>

I see, I could respect that bro, 212 really is good, I just didn't have a good memory attached to it, its good to know that you have very specific and good memories to 212.

What are some times where it would be preferable to wear no perfume?

is 35 for a 40 ml of 2010 la nuit worth it?
>>
>>11050652
Only you can answer that question.
>>
>>11050569
when you're going to a place that could make you have to stay among people who are allergic, like on a long bus ride or a flight. Also not in hospitals, waiting rooms of any kind.
Citrus is fine by night, imo. Especially in the summer. Masculine scents aren't only for seduction either.
I generally wear what I feel like smelling by myself.
>>
>>11050652

As the other user mentioned, its up to you.

But, if I was you I would just spend the extra $20 to get the 100 ml. Its more than double the juice for less than double the price, think about it.

Another way to think about it is on how much you love the fragrance. If you love it, then probably you'd want to get the bigger size. If you just think its ok and plan to use it sparingly than the 40 ml is your choice.

in that case, well it doesn't really matter, everyone in the fragrance community basically concurs that it smells the same but with just a performance issue of one less hour as opposed to the original formulation.

you'd be surprised on how many people care about "mall-tier frags" and reformulations, especially since the latest reformulation of Le Male freaked everyone out.

It went "There's 4 different Eau Sauvages"
"No there's not."
"Yes there is ES EdT, ES Parfume, ES Extrême, ES Cologne (all by Dior and with the same style of bottle)."
"Well they have totally different names!!!!"
It's different versions of the same scent, flankers or whatever else you want to call them. You're talking like those are completely different things.

>There is only one fragrance named Eau Sauvage.
>>11051321

>>11051862
>You're talking like those are completely different things.
Because they are. A flanker is a different fragrance with a different name with a different entry on BN/FG. Do you think A*Men Pure Malt and A*Men Les Parfums de Cuir are the same scent? Do you think all the Jurassic Park movies are all the same movie? I never said they weren't flankers of one original scent. but you have not refuted my original statement.
>>
>>11051806
Dolce and Gabbana Intenso, despite how pleb it probably is.
>>
>>11051879
>Do you think all the Jurassic Park movies are all the same movie?

It would be "There is only one Jurassic Park".
"No there's Jurassic Park 1,2 and 3"
"But those are different movies and they're not called Jurassic Park, they have a number after it!"

Besides, by your own logic, there's 0 fragrances named Eau Sauvage becaues it's Eau Sauvage + subtitle in all cases.
>>
>>11051351
love the smell but longevity = 0
>>
>>11051891
ALSO if we want to be THAT pedantic, there's a whole bunch of Eau Sauvages because no two batches of it are the same, so while they have the same name they're different fragrances.
>>
>>11051891
Very subtle different you missed: there is only one movie NAMED Jurassic Park. Would you call JP III "Jurassic Park?" Names are important. You wouldn't call Eau Sauvage Parfum just "Eau Sauvage" would you? If you walked in to a store and asked for "Opium" you would walk out with a ladies' scent (although it can totally work on a man, but I digress), but most here would ask for a bottle of "Opium pour Homme" and get the men's frag. Again, names are important because they mean something.

Hey bro, just get this one, its called Sauvage by Dior. Just make sure it looks like the bottle in this picture. All the other sauvages by dior are in a different kind of bottle so it should be easy.

This particular one does not smell old, its a masculine cologne that smells incredibly modern and distinct. I'd wear it to college, dunno about High School though.
>>
>>11051903
"I'd like a bottle of the parfum version of Eau Sauvage please." Same deal. But if you asked for a bottle of Eau Sauvage you would walk out with a bottle of Eau Sauvage. Not Parfum, not Cologne, but the ONE AND ONLY fragrance NAMED Eau Sauvage. Get it now?

are you the original asker?

If so, and your 18, Sauvage by Dior is your best bet, people hate this newest Sauvage because it smells "too synthetic", what is that even supposed to mean? All cologne is synthetic. Either way, the younger ladies from 18-30 love this cologne. If you want older ladies like 35+ then get the old Eau Sauvages

The concentration strength is not part of the name. Tell BN and FG to change the name of a fragrance from 1966 and see what they say, please.
>>
>>11051921
>"too synthetic", what is that even supposed to mean?
that it smells chemical. while you are right that most perfumes include at least some synthetic ingredients, there are plenty of perfumes that smell like they are made from natural ingredients, or smells like something that could be found out in nature, without that artificial or astringent vibe.

e.g., compare Acqua di Gio with Jardin Sur la Nil
>>
>>11051921
>>11051953
oh and i should add that despite connotations, "synthetic" isn't necessarily a good or bad imo. it depends on the fragrance as a whole
>>
>>11051950
Trick question: I'd say Eau Sauvage Parfum, which is a totally different fragrance, not just a more concentrated version of the original. But if I preferred the original, I'd say the original.

Just got 212 Men as a "throw in" in a trade and am wearing it for the first time.

Very lemony.

>>11039004
good choice

>>11056401
I had the EDP. Doesn't seem to last too long on my skin. Awesome scent though.
>>
>>11056410
this one

*upvote*

>>11056401
I thought it was too lemony / bergamot-y. Personally, I preferred the Sport version more.

A cautionary tale for those thinking of Royal Oud.

> Buy RO, so interesting, so woody and spicy. I didn't mind the questionable oud content.

> Two wearings later and I find it so dry and bitter, like licking the inside of dry bark, the strong pepper on the edge of overwhelming and it's stifling in close quarters (my shirt collar). It's difficult to wear when I think I smell like an old wooden cabinet dusted with pepper and a hint of eucalyptus --literally, with not a single artistic twist.

I'd stick with MI as my daily and save the RO for special occasions.

I love this scent and rarely hear about people repping it (or smell it in public).
>>
>>11061151
i've been wanting to sample this one for ages
>>
>>11061151
probably because it has shit performance
>>
>>11059620
Its not usual for 2016. Its abvious from the 90'th. It stays long and is fresh and a little sharp. I dont know its not bad but since I have other spring scents I dont use this. Maybe to something formular like a wedding (in summer where I want to smell fresh)

Opinions on Bvlgari Man? Love Man In Black but never tried the original.

>>11058554
Creed's ouds don't have any oud in them. They suck and so does everything they put out.
>>
>>11061151
It's nice, but another anon kind of ruined it for me a while ago when he pointed out how synthetic it smells.
>>
>>11062716
That's quite the accusation. Do you have an ingredient list to back it up?

Acqua Di Parma Mirto is a very beautiful, slightly soapy smell that I like a lot, but it has no longevity and sillage, atleast for me. Anyone know of a better Fragrance like Mirto?
>>
>>11063038
He's right, but it's not just Creed.

> In commercial perfumery it's safe to say all "oud" is a recreated synthetic note.

Has anyone tried Donald Trump's fragrances? How are they?
>>
>>11063133
Le Labo Neroli 36 maybe
>>
>>11063287
>>11063038
the same goes for plenty of notes like ambergris, castoreum, civet, musk, etc. and it's not just animalic or "weird" notes, e.g. most of the time cedar in fragrances is Iso E Super.

pretty much the only notes that are still somewhat common (at least in most niches) as a natural ingredients are spices, flowers, herbs, and stuff where it isn't too difficult or expensive to get a hold of essential oils

Prada amber pour homme gives me headaches. Help?

Also gucci pour homme ii is watery as hell. I was expecting spicebomb lite+tea and what I got was the equivalent of slapping myself with a wet teabag.
>>
>>11064683
I don't really care if it's real or synthetic as long as it doesn't smell fake.
>>
>>11063673
Same as Trump. Disgusting.

I am through my current fragrance bottle, what is a decent affordable fragrance?

I am /fit/ and start teaching at university this semester while still finishing my own studies, I need something subtle that persists throughout a long day without dieing down too much, a signature scent so to speak.

my last fragrance was hoggar by yves rocher
>>
>>11065263
Perry Ellis 360 Red is great. It's $20 on Target's site or you can possibly find it at Ross, Marshall's, TJ Maxx type stores. It's basically Acqua di Gio but better with a spicier note.

It lasts and I only put one spray on my neck and one on my chest.
>>
>>11065378
thanks, sadly I can only find it for a lot more, around 50 € per 100 ml. will try to find a possibility to order it from europe for less
>>
>>11065378
>>11065559

I just realized T.K. Maxx around here is equivalent to your T.J., I'll check the price when I'm there next time.

Bond fans, which should I purchase next out of Chinatown, Central Park, Fire Island, and Shelter Island?

Anyone have a strong opinion on Terre d'Hermes? Just got the EDP and really like it, but would like to have another scent that's more of a sexy date night scent, whatever that is.
>>
>>11065647
I prefer the EDT and eau très fraîche to the EDP.

Do you look for a sexy date night scent that's similar to it? Or just in general?
>>
>>11065655
Just in general. I have Fragonard F! which sorta works for that, and Ralph Lauren black, which works for like 30 minutes.

I guess we just have different tastes. It was a hard call between the EDP and EDT, but the eau tres fraiche was a no-go for me.
>>
>>11065565
Amazon UK has it pretty cheap. It smells great with body heat or sweat.
>>
>>11065677
too bad they only accept credit cards, I don't have one. is it weird not to have a credit card these days?
>>
>>11065815
Depends where you're from. Where I live barely anyone has one.
>>
Any good cheapo gourmands around? I like A*Men but it's like 70 bucks and the flankers are nowhere to be found around here either.
>>
>>11065815
You can buy a gift card like Visa or MasterCard with cash at a store then use it to buy stuff online.

Chinatown (very feminine tho imo) > Fire Island (a little boring, but still very good) > Central Park > Shelter Island (who thought a marine oud was a good idea?)
>>
>>11065815
>tfw bad credit score
>>
>>11066005
Thanks for the opinions. I have Eau de New York; is Chinatown more feminine than EdNY? I mostly like the thought of smelling like a head shop. Might layer it with Demeter cannabis flower.
>>
>>11066471
Chinatown I find to be way too cardamom-y. a great idea but misses the point for me. have never tried CP on my skin but it's awesome on a card.

I own Shelter Island and Fire Island. Shelter Island is by far my favorite frag I own. would highly recommend Shelter Island.

SI >>> CP > FI >> Chinatown

are you talking about the edt or edp?
>>
>>11066790
It's very close to the edt.
>>
>>11066963
what do you mean close to the edt? which one should I get, edt or edp?
>>
>>11067021
There is no edp of 360 red.
>>
>>11067036
I see, that's what I was wondering.

unrelated question, my gf is using several fragrances, she recently ran out of "d&g the one" which I like, should I get her a new bottle? any opinions on the scent?
>>
>>11065815
Not if you still live at home.

Ah, that's what I thought. The EdT is has good enough longevity anyway.

If buy The One, then only Parfume version. The EDT is dieing too fast (on my skin max 3 hours)
