I'm searching for the right place to order a new edt, but I'll get a 200 ml bottle. Is a sample the right option for when I am at my gf's place?

I'm ironically wearing secretions magnifiques today.

Last time I did this I got complements as well as turned up noses

>>11152788
kek.. I meant unironically, but autocorrect sabotaged me.
might as well be wearing it ironically though.
It's definitely a meme fragrance, but it's grown on me.

>tfw have a 6.7 oz bottle
Feels good man

>>11152929
I would kill myself before I owned a bottle that looked like that.

>>11152788
does it really smell like "bodily fluids"?

Currently wearing Alien by Theirry Mugler, I was surprised at how unisex it is. Only compliments so far.

>>11153107
It's really not as bad as the attention whore YouTube reaction videos make it out to be.
It's a floral and mildly woodsy pleasant fragrance that they threw a salty metallic note into. There are definitely people that react to it in a negative way, but there's also people who have told me they love the fragrance I'm wearing. I don't get as many complements as I do wearing Santal 33, but I do get some.

The sticker is actually removable and it comes off easily. Must be for the self-conscious piss babies who get intimidated by that pic.

Mine is removed because a friend gave it to me and I guess he took it off lel

I don't even know. Most women wear that cheap synthetic shit that smells "girly". I do like a girl who has nice smelling hair, which is more attractive to me.

White florals like jasmine, honeysuckle, neroli, and tuberose are my favorite on women. I also really appreciate a woman who wears male-leaning / unisex fragrances like pic related confidently. Not really wowed by any fruity / sweet / gourmand fragrances, as most just remind me of lotion or body spray.

>>11154379

I get huge ass blocks of Lush soaps free from a family member and use them to scent my flat and have to rotate them constantly or I get accustomed to the smell and stop smelling it. Sounds like a similar situation.

So is Amouage Reflection not worth it anymore since they reformulated it?
anyone got any infos on that?

My favourite fragnance so far is la nuit de l'homme, second probably is Invictus, two different styles and now I want the third one to be more masculinish.
Suggestions?

>>11154379
If you wear it every day, not surprising.

>>11153191
no particular scent family in mind

But I do like it when a girl wears a nice perfume, a good one for girls is Ralph by Ralph Lauren for Women (blue bottle).

Another amazing one on a woman is Parisienne by YSL, the sillage of a woman wearing that smells like the sillage of a woman in heat

Is it just me or does this not last very long?

Maybe it lasts and I get used to the smell after a few hours?

>>11154379
It's called acclimating to the smell.

You'll be able to smell things, initially, but then your senses become used to them as sort of a background noise and they become dull to YOU. To others, the smell is still there.

>>11154948
Lots of variables but for the most part CDNI is a projection and longevity beast.

At the seven hour mark I had someone say that it was still filling the room with smell.

I have a December 2015 batch from France and colognes last the usual recommended amount on my skin.

Does anyone else not get great performance on DHI? I feel like I don't project at all and it lasts for a bit but just as a skin scent.

>>11155105
It was like 70 degrees today. Maybe it's just olfactory degredation or whatever but I really love the scent and I would be really upset if the performance wasn't all that it's chalked up to.

Anyone tried Dior Homme? The regular version, not Sport, although any opinions on the Intense would be good too.
I'm looking for a daily wear, nothing offensive or too strong, but with a nice masculine scent.

>>11155137
Dior homme is awesome. I myself think the intense is actually more wearable casually because of the chocolate notes which tone down the harsh iris. But either will work great. Get some samples you won't be disappointed.

>>11155105
>>11155116
definitely olfactory fatigue. try asking a friend next time 4-5 hours after application. similar has happened to me with Aventus and original DH, but apparently I was smelling strong both times so be careful

and 70 degrees? that's borderline too warm for DHI. do not wear if it gets hotter than that unless you want to choke people out

I love and own it along with two flankers, but masculine it is not.

>>11152651

I need a manly fragrance.
I use basic Boss Bottled, I kinda like it, I want something slightly different to vary.
Majority of men fragrances are too sweet or smell like fucking cologne, It's pretty hard to find a manly yet 'fresh' one.

Hey /fa/, i'm looking for a perfume. but i have no idea how to decide.
Since i'm a poor college student, i can't (don't want to) afford the expensice colognes but i still want something better smelling than deodorant. I don't like to stand out, which is hard sometimes, since I'm 6'6-7". I'm not wearing anything that stands out, Jeans, sneakers and basic t-shirts or shirts.
I thought about getting the Bvlgari Blv but i fear that it might be too offensive and that i might want to get something darker.
What would you recommend? please be kind, i'm new to the whole /fa/ thing.

>>11152611

Not that I know of, but if you make an account and buy something from them you get a permanent 3% discount on everything starting with the next time you buy something.

>>11155652
>Bvlgari Blv but i fear that it might be too offensive
nah, it's a fairly safe fragrance that manages not to be too bland. versatile too, good to use year round,

l'instant de guerlain pour homme is a darker option you may like and can be bought online for cheap. not the best for warm/hot weather though, maybe if you go lighter on the application it may work then

>>11155646
Try Santal 33 or Invasion Barbare

Have you ever bought from an outlet store? There is an outlet mall nearby with a perfumania store and the prices are very appealing, like I could get a 4.2 oz bottle there for the price of a 1.2 oz from macy's.

I'm a big fan of D&G Light Blue since I live in a humid place, but it doesn't work at all in a dry environment. Any recommendations that work well in dry air?

>>11157277
I had the original Mont Blanc Legend and I liked it. It does smell like A&F Fierce but I own that as well and everyone loves it.
So go for it.

Something new to try. That's all. I feel like a lot of people on BaseNotes want to "upgrade" their fragrances. As in trade their shitty stuff for better stuff, when I just want to trade equally on ratings, price, size or whatever

>>11153910
is there anything out there like MIP that's a little less powdery? I've heard Bvlgari Black recommended but I've also heard people say it smells like tires

>>11158619
Try 360º Black for Men. Also Bulgari Black's tea has a rubbery vibe, but it's not unpleasant. It is much less sweet however.

Absolutely new to the fragrance scene. My friend gave me Hugo. Is it worth using? Also how do I put it on?

>>11159145


Do you happen to know which Hugo cologne? To be honest the only Hugo cologne I enjoyed was Boss Bottled and Boss Bottled Intense.

In terms of putting it on, just spray three on the neck. One spray on each side of your neck (left and right) and one spray in the middle.

But either way, your friend's cool for giving you cologne. I wish my friends gave me cologne.

>>11159145
>Also how do I put it on?
Average application is 3-5 sprays. Avoid any place too close to the nose like face and front of neck to prevent olfactory fatigue. Under clothes will mute projection. On hair and clothes will keep top notes around longer. Other than that, go to town. I personally spray 1-2 on chest so I get wafts from under my shirt throughout the day, 1 on back of neck. one on forearm and rub the other to share. More for weaker scents, fewer for stronger.

Jeesus no, unless you want to smell like a Turk, one spray is enough. Once on the wrist, rub on the other wrist, both wrists on neck. Less is more, pham

>>11159817
That way, the scent will be completely gone in an hour.

Jesus fucking Christ, i would kill whoever thought this was a good name.

So I don't know shit about fragrances, and wear them to work everyday. Never really gotten complimented on them but also never been talked to about them at all desu. I have Lily Bermuda - Navy and L'Occitane - Vetyvyer. Are these pleb level fragrances? Trying to get my wardrobe in check before I start burning more colognes but I would like to get some feedback. FYI I work in an office setting, shirt and tie everyday.

Jesus no. Unless you don't want anyone to smell you. Or you're wearing Opium or Chergui in the summer.

>>11159817
>one spray is enough. Once on the wrist, rub on the other wrist, both wrists on neck.

You can spray more than that without "smelling like a Turk"
fuck off.

>>11160459
First off, how many sprays do you apply?

>>11160498
Generally 2 sprays

>>11160515
Try going three or more. Since this is an office, better to err on the side of caution and ask friends to gauge your projection, but I was always a one-two spray kind of guy and it was years before I realized no one could ever smell me, even up close.

>>11160523
Ok, I think that might have been my problem

>>11160515
When you go out (outside the office) try 4 sprays and distribute it through out your upper body. Try that for a bit. Sometimes people don't compliment random people. The people say I smell good are friends or acquaintances

>>11160526
I should add don't spray in the car right before you walk in to the office. Frags tend to project most when first applied and need to settle down. I apply at home, about 20-30 minutes until I walk in the door at work.

Pic related arrived today, and now I smell like a hippie. For men, this is a 1, 2 spray max type of perfume. If you're at all insecure about unisex fragrance, this one isn't for you. It smells of sweet floral incense, with an opening that is like the inside of a Lush store. Layer some Demeter Cannabis Flower with this and go to an outdoor summer concert. Or use some Molecule 01 / Iso E Super to take the edge off of the sweetness and accentuate Chinatown's own woody base.

"do I cop" as a way to ask for any last minute warnings before purchasing
like for me im 99% sure I'm going to buy something I just like the approval
but maybe a frag might only have a 2 hour longevity and that might be something you'd want to let anon know before he buys something and is upset that it's already done for by the time he shows up to work or his party

I've been trying to find a particular cologne sample I ordered for a long time. It was a pretty complex niche fragrance that had scents of toasted marshmallow. I think the brand name had something to do with thieves, but I may be completely wrong.

Perry Ellis 360 Red if you like or have tried Acqua Di Gio. Love the spicier smell and smells great too when you sweat unlike most stuff. For $20 bucks you can't go wrong.

Don't spray a lot though. With one spray to the chest and one on the neck I'm good the whole day.

That morocain tauer fragrance always reminds me of a toasted, spiced marshmallow. But I doubt that's what you're asking for.

>>11165067
thanks!

I'm thinking about getting a fragrance for work. Nothing strong. Male or unisex. But nothing fresh, overly citrusy or floral. I work with electronic equipment and mechanical tools a lot and visit factories and places like that sometimes. So I'm thinking something that stays close to the skin and that isn't too fresh or "nice." And no vetiver. Any ideas?

I am getting my ysl l'homme delivered today, how much should I use? I am aiming for maximum stay but very little projection, as I am sitting next to people almost every day. my ideal would be for people to notice only when hugging me or being close enough for a handshake without getting annoyed by it when sitting next to me.

I used my old edt as follows: one spray each on crotch, each wrist, neck. had noone ever complain about it being too much and only my girlfriend complementing me on it.

What are you guys going with for summer?

I'm leaning towards one of the Hermes garden collection

>>11156596
Kouros is really excellent.
This may sound like trolling, but if you want to go cheap, maybe try Str8 Green (Adventure I think?) It's the only decent Str8 and it really feels fresh for summers. Also for mid price perfume, I like Euphoria, it's manly but kind.

Despite it having weak projection and doesn't last that long I really love this one. Though around midday some people are still able to smell it on me.

Love the fruitiness but it's not too much. More a subtle cologne. Perfect for a date night. Not really the best in hot weather though since the dry down is woody.

>>11167612

>>11170682
It smells like cold weather holidays. Booze, tobacco, spices. I get great longevity from it. Wear it on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Love it.

This thread might be about to die, but what might some of you who are more experienced with fragrances recommend to a 20 year old male? I feel like I may be too young to have purpose in wearing a fragrance considering I am not employed at a formal or even semi-formal job. The main purpose of the fragrance would be to garner interest from people around me and to potentially feel good knowing I smell how I want to smell. I guess I may wear it to certain formal events, but those aren't that common as a student.

>>11170764

I bought it as literally my first perfume, but never really liked it.
How would you describe it so i can avoid other fragances similar to this one?

>>11172174
One word?
Calvinkleinpisswater

I don't wear smells much, but lately I've been really keen on the idea of getting bubblegum cologne. Would this be too massively autistic or could it be good?

>>11171093
So I'm mainly looking for something for year round (or 2 that would be good for fw/ss respectively.. My price range isn't quite that low. Maybe around ~~$100us. Also, I'm not sure how much it matters, but I'm not sporty at all. More artistic interests.

>>11172174
Aldehydes, pear, tonka bean, suede. Avoid those notes in other fragrances if you didn't like CK One Red.

>>11172384
$140 (online) for >>11153256 would be my personal all-purpose fragrance. Alternatively The Scent of Peace for Him at the same price. Either would be passable as year-round fragrances for a non-sporting lad such as yourself. Find a Saks or Nordstrom and go sampling.

>>111712452
Thanks! I've done a little sampling and found I'm into more earthy but spicy scents. Less into citrusy or aqua-like things because they smell too much like a soap or something and aren't all that unique smelling to me anyhow, but I guess I haven't developed my sense for this. I'll continue my search.

19/m looking for mature/manly scents presumably with notes of tobacco, leather, and wood. I'd like for the scent to work year round, but i imagine those notes I just described work best in the winter.

>>11165726
i don't know about a split, but i'm thinking about selling a 75-80% full bottle purchased in summer 2014.

it's becoming too much of A Thing here in NYC . . . and the people who wear too much of it are just about the absolute last sort of people you'd want to me associated with by smell.

>>11170682
What? You can get it at TJ Maxx for about $25~ for a 1.7.
I bought a 1 fl oz for $10 and you can get a 3.3 fl oz tester (might come with no cap) for about $20.
Needless to say it's one of my favorite scents. It's good for Thanksgiving/Christmas time

>>11172174
Nah you won't find another scent that smells similar to it.

>>11172566
For how much

>>11172316
Or try 1 Million by Paco Robane, some say it smells like bubble gum

>>11172316
I mean, yeah, something like Demeter's Bubblegum--which is a realistic representation of bubblegum--might be too much but there are a lot of super sweet male fragrances out there that many describe as having a 'bubblegum' like smell. Maybe check these out:

>>11167585
ysl l'homme arrived a few days ago, still not sure how I can achieve high stay low projection. generally I had the feeling it was way more subtle than the few times I tested it, although the packaging makes it unlikely I got a watered down bottle. the smell is definitely the same anyways.

>>11172540
Right on, those notes usually work well in the winter but, if you don't over spray you should be fine.


-Gucci by Gucci (subtle tobacco with strong oak moss)
-Dirty English by Juicy Couture (leather and wood)
-Club De Nuit Intense by Armaf (woody with a citrus top)

My rec from the stuff I listed above would be Club De Nuit Intense since it could be a year round frag.

I like a good "outdoorsy" scent I was wondering if this would fit the bill

>>11174370
hot summer of course

>>11174418
Definitely try this one first and don't blind buy. It's been changed over the years and is no longer familiar to me. I think the current formulation smells much more 'old man' than it did in the 80's.

Not to beat a dead horse, but Terre d'Hermes is an awesome outdoors fragrance. Test it when you test Polo.

>>11171093
Have a list that leans more unisex?
21, college level price point, I want something that's more than Bath and Body Works tier

>>11174398
I liked it. Probably a tad spicy for my tastes though.

I've made a mistake in an order and changed accidentally CdG wodnerwood for amazingreen

I wouldn't really mind to try on a new scent which I haven't smelled yet before though, but online reviews are kinda negative

I still could not accept the package and they would replace it afterwards (shipping is free), what do you think about amazingreen? That horrible really?

>>11170239
Yes. Make it 4.

>>11161181
dude whats wrong with you?

Why is fragrance so expensive?

>>11175482
It's just boring. Kinda like wonderwood.

>>11175974
The chemicals.
Some have expensive natural ingredients. Some have expensive bottles. Some just have expensive branding.

>>11175974
>>11176002
Plus, a lot of times fragrances aren't really THAT expensive when you look at the cost per usage.

Most normal people are retarded and will lather them self in the stuff and say "But why did I run out of cologne so fast?"

Even with some of the most expensive fragrances, it's literally cents per wearing. And with a good rotation and being aware of how much you're spraying a single fragrance can literally last years and years.

Also, because a lot of perfumers know they can charge out the ass and people will still buy it.

>>11173677
anyone?

>>11176187
What's the question?

>>11176246
sorry for being unclear. how do I achieve low projection and high stay with ysl l'homme edt?

it isn't very strong at all.

>>11176265
put a ton on then don't leave the house for 5-6 hours

what you are asking for is pretty difficult to achieve 2bh, especially for YSL L'Homme, an edt, and if you don't want any sillage

maybe find a new fragrance

>>11176265
I don't normally suggest this because I'm personally against it, but try a spray or two on your clothing as well

And don't discount olfactory fatigue if you think it's disappearing too quickly. It really is a tricky phenomena, fell victim to it on occasion with even strong scents like Aventus or Dior Homme and foolishly reapplied. Apparently I was a noxious walking cloud of perfume.

>>11176322
oh well, I only just bought it because I liked it a lot and it was recommended when I asked for something with the criteria I just now posted. maybe I got fucked over by the seller, but then again everything seemed to be in order, including unopened original packaging.

>>11176342
I asked my gf about it and she said it was hardly noticeable unless she literally sniffed my neck. I always approach stuff like this from low to high application, so I might increase the sprays slightly.

>>11175974
Are you looking at retail prices? If so, stop.

>>11173479

Small Berlin perfume shop I found online, I was in the city this weekend so decided to check it out. The fragrances were all in large jars that you could smell from.

It's like nothing I've tried before, very green and mossy. I'm still unsure about it, but really wanted to try something niche.

>>11176265
buy a scentless lotion if you have dry skin or maybe try a fragrance primer. I have no experience with those though.

>>11176421
seems like a really simplistic chypre

Awesome article, it reminds me of something that someone from Amouroud Parfums said, he said that niche fragrances are priced around $175-$200 to stay competitive, anything over $200 is too expensive, and the more interesting this is that niche fragrances priced less than $150 "risks being considered not good enough".

Its kind of true that the actual perfume oils and ingredients that go into a frag are not that expensive. It seems that retail prices are molded to fit both what costs to produce, ship, advertise, etc. a frag and also to mold to people's expectations.

>>11176002
>The chemicals.
Could you specify which fragrances you are referring to? And cite a source for your info?

>>11177986
pricing from 175-200 is done under what constraint?
for a 50ml or what? would obviously seem cheap for a 8oz or something but what's the basis
>>11178231
not him but anecdotal info about my experience with cheap vs expensive frags is the the expensive ones almost always last longer and the silage is generally stronger

>>11177382

Are you mentally ill?

>>11178547
>pricing from 175-200 is done under what constraint?
>for a 50ml or what?
i'd assume so, either that and/or 100 mL, since the vast majority of fragrances (especially niches) come in only those two sizes

>>11178547
>the expensive ones almost always last longer and the silage is generally stronger
Funny, in my experience, there is near zero correlation between price and perceived quality.

From that boisdejasmine article:
>Today, the niche market has exploded dramatically and there is such a wide range of quality that the “niche” label means nothing in particular
I agree on all aspects but exclusivity. If people want to pay a premium price to have something most do not, I can find no fault in that logic.

strange autistic question here lads

are there any perfumes with that weird, slightly synthetic smell that slushy snow has? The sort of smell you'd find near a chairlift at a ski resort
I thought maybe Christopher Brosius' stuff like Demeter Snow and I Hate Perfume Winter 1972 would be my best bet, anyone have experience with these?
I generally hate how natural most perfume smells so I'd like to avoid some bullshit floral scent that evokes the idea of snow or whatever, I want the real deal

I asked this a couple days ago but I'm running a creed aventus split and I was wondering if anyone is interested in joining. We're just about to fill up so I figured if anyone here was interested i shouldn't exclude.

>>11161605

>>11153228
>>11153192
also got this one, love it.
only a bit expensive (for a student like me) but so worth it.

>>11183403
everything I've tried just doesn't do anything for me just smells very strong
that being said I only tried about 5 or 6 of them and not the full line so it's incorrect if me saying the whole brand is bad

L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme

I really really like scents of leather, incense and wood but do other people like it?

Can you suggest some parfumes that you tried which fall in this category of scents?

best weeb cologne??

Is this stuff unisex? Can't find anything that says it's exusively male or female.

Wearing that today. Thought it would be a bit much for a sunny 80ºF day, but it is awesome. One of my new favorites and I love it more than TL.

>>11184467
All frags are unisex.

>>11184467
Le Labo, and many niches, don't market scents for a particular gender because this >>11184518

Lol no, but a good percentage of them can be considered "unisex"

The whole "ALL FRAGRANCES ARE UNISEX!!" thing needs to die.

How can an odor have a gender? What sex is the smell of coffee? Ozone? Fresh cut grass?

>>11185660

They don't have a gender, nobody said that. Nice strawman though.

>>11185660
Notes are not fragrances. If that's how you got your reasoning then re-think it.

>>11185660
>What sex is the smell of coffee?
????

>>11185640
If by "good percentage" you mean like 97%. Only the most cloying and sickeningly sweet florals and gourmands are out of bounds for men (and no woman with taste would wear them either)

>>11185710
that's the point, you nimrod

>They don't have a gender, nobody said that

>>11185792
2 different people, and again, notes are not fragrances.
Try again

>>11185684
Ahhhh, so a single odor does not have a gender, but put several of them together and *then* it does. OK... Look, just because the fragrance industry tells you a perfume is "for ladies" doesn't mean you have to believe it. That distinction was invented by some marketing exec at Estee Lauder said so.

He put it very bluntly because apparently you have a hard time grasping this concept mate.

>>11185821
So tell me, do colors have genders? Textures? Surely flavors must, since smell and taste are so closely linked...?

>>11185827
>I can't eat that! That's a women's food!

>>11185827
Stay focused chap. We're talking about fragrances.

What are salads and poached whitefish (e.g. sole), Alex?

Show me the next teenage girl smelling like cigars, leather and smoked wood when you say it's all unisex.

>>11184300
Thats why I said "and" you fucking (still & over again) retard. I didnt tried ti samefag, I addet tge second sentence. Goddamit Summer is here, so much cancer

>>11186793
A typical teenage girl wouldn't wear that because she's been told over and over that teenage girls should smell sickly sweet, not because those smells are somehow "masculine' in and of themselves. A self-aware and confident woman can wear whatever the hell she wants to. Same with a man.

>>11178231
The stuff that makes it smell the way it does. Need a source for the copywritten recipe?
