Opinions on HdP? I rarely see anyone discuss them, and anytime I do it's always just 1725.

>>11414234
they seem like they have some pretty interesting scents, and I like their gimmick, but yeah, I've only tried 1725 Casanova and didn't like it.

What's a frag that surprises you that people like it?

>Guerlain Vetiver
The inspiration of this question. Normally if I try out a perfume and end up not liking it, I can still understand why people do like it. Not this time. Got a sample of this last week, and it's so wet-tree-bark smelling. 2/10 why do people wear this?

>>11417339
When I was new to fragrance, I had a similar reaction on smelling Tom Ford Grey Vetiver for the first time. Now I love Guerlain Vetiver and most vetiver fragrances in general. If you don't like the note, give yourself some time and come back to it. Also judge a fragrance by how it wears on your skin for a full day, not by sniffing the vial or from paper.

some anons recommended me voyage by nautica. it says it's a edt scent, so do you think it will last a good school day (7-8 hours)? if no, is there something stronger that's a cheap ozonic scent?

>>11417546
if you're female just bring it to school with you and re-apply in the bathroom at some point.

If you're male, that's a pretty socially weird thing to do, at least where I live. Instead, if you have any vials or glasses that are sample-sized you could take a syringe and fill it with the perfume, and typically you can refill that once a week and bring the small vial to school with you to re-apply.

If you're set on not re-applying in the middle of the day, then just find something stronger, but unfortunately I can't help you there -- I'm not very well versed in those kinds of fragrances.

>>11417546
A good EDT should do al-right for that period of time. All my EDTs stay around for the work day which is a similar amount of time.

Never tried Nautica Voyage, but have one ordered.

>>11417546
>it says it's a edt scent, so do you think it will last a good school day (7-8 hours)?

it should, or at least close to that long. just because it's an edt and weaker than an edp by definition doesn't mean it's weak in itself. the fact that it's a highly mass produced and cheap scent has more bearing on any longeavity issues

>>11417594
>If you're male, that's a pretty socially weird thing to do, at least where I live
no, it isn't. what's weird about it? i don't think anyone would give a shit. it's not like anyone announces what they do before they go to the bathroom

>>11417594
Not really that weird, maybe it was just the school I went to but a number of lads topped of their Lynx during the day, especially after PE or break/lunch football.

I dreamed that my box full of fragrances (mostly from splits) was stolen from my large studio apt (I don't live in a large studio apt). I was visibly upset with the community for not helping, or showing empathy.

Weird dream.

Anyways, current frag is Bottega Veneta's EDP.

I came around to Guerlain Vetiver after smelling all the sweet punchy/fruity/boozy scents at the store, and this was the one thing that actually smelled good after all that.

>>11418632

>>11413972
Im looking for a decently powerful summer scent for a man, I want it to be very appealing for a girl to smell and I want it to last for a long time, I don't want it to be super powerful but I want to walk past someone or be near someone and they can smell it a little bit. I'm using nautica blue and I like it but wanna try something new. Price range is like 40-60 but for a decently big sized bottle

Which to cop, my favourite right now is La Nuit de l'homme. Here's what i'm considering, I really need one which lasts a while

obsessed with this scent lately but i've seen very different opinions about it

some people seem to love it like me and others seem to hate it like hell

what's your opinion /fa/ ?

i dont want to buy a 200€ fragrance that will end up not used because of negative comments

>>11421141
>>i dont want to buy a 200€ fragrance that will end up not used because of negative comments

You're a dumb faggot. You use a fragrance you enjoy and like. Not one because other people seem to like it.

Neck yourself.

>>11421148
Come on mate don't be a cunt.
This general has been for the most part pretty free from this sort of shit, can we try and keep it that way?
It's the only reason I visit this board

>>11420755
Never tried it, although I own Parfum & Intense. How does it stack up to those do you know? Both are 2015 batches.

>>11420669
All quite popular and common depending on where you are the in the world. La Nuit 2015/16 reform is fucking water so take that into consideration. Bleu is inanely common, yet still a phenomenal fragrance. Both will garner you a lot of compliments if you can get them to last.
As for polo red, I've only tried the original and it's good for what it's going for. Casual fragrance for sure and that and Bleu would be good for every day wear. Sample all of them and make your decision based on how much you enjoy them and how well they perform etc etc.

>>11417339
>What's a frag that surprises you that people like it?
Alan Cumming's Cumming

>>11421240
I see more people wearing the others than the Bleu, i have the perfume version which hurts my head and fucking reeks like shit that's how strong it is. It's a flimsy fragrance and nothing special or amazing in anyway shape or form.

Last for hours, on skin and clothes.

>>11421148
i buy scents for myself but general opinion is important

i mean i dont want to intoxicate my surroundings either

Aqva Amara Bvlgari

>>11421583
tested, its too fucking harsh. smells like oranges but its way too sour

>>11421231
If you own intense you don't need to get homme. anyway both have a godlike smell and on my skin they last for a long time

>>11421148
>Not one because other people seem to like it

You sound very arrogant like most niche faggots.
Sure the first step is liking it yourself but making sure others will like it too for whatever reason is pretty logical

>>11421231
afraid I haven't smelled them

>>11417546
Nautica Voyage was reformulated recently. It now has shit longevity and projection.

If you can find it, try to find a pre 2015 bottle. They have a metal cap that clicks versus the new plastic cap on the reformulated version

Another thing to note -- I find Nautica Voyage to be purely a summer scent. I bought a bottle in the fall, tried it and hated it. It smelled like baby powder and laundry detergent. I tried it again this summer, and the heat really brings out the bitter apple note. It's much better in the high heat, and I will only use it in the summer.

Even though its good in the heat, I still don't find myself reaching for it too often. To be honest it is a pretty safe scent, so don't expect too many compliments/head turns. I bought Bulgari Aqua Amara recently, and I find that to be a much more enjoyable summer scent. bitches love it

>>11419505
Bulgari Aqua Amara. Opening is an aggressive mandarin note, but 5 minutes later it is heavenly. My most complimented summer scent. I use it mostly during the day, but I don't see why it wouldn't work at night.

>>11421583
>>11421632
My new favorite summer scent. I felt the same way when I tested it -- The opening is very aggressive, but wait 5-10 minutes. The dry down is unique and out of this world.

So are you saying you will only wear frags that have 100% likes? Hope you like picture related then, because it's the only one on BN with no dislikes that I know of. Not to be a cunt, but you can't please everyone. If you do buy it, just go really easy on the trigger, and that goes triple in warmer weather.

i just dont want to buy a very ambiguous scent that might put off a lot of people

imo it smelled amazing on me but i just want to have the opinion of /fa/ before buying it

I'm sorry, I'm not a regular. I'm looking for a place I can buy a bunch of samplers for summer. I'm an oud fanatic, (like the M7's, Armani Code, and the Agarwood distillations), but that might be just a touch heavy for summer. So I'm looking for something lighter. There's already some nice recommendations in the thread, but are there any favored places for buying samples. Thanks /fa/!

>>11420720
PLEASE RESPOND

>>11420720
it really doesn't matter, most fragrance in deos aren't strong enough to clash with your cologne in my experience. you can just pick something lightly scented and stay away from Axe/Lynx and Old Spice because they are typically bolder smelling

>>11423284
Surrender to Chance has a pretty good selection if you live in the US

What do you think of Mugler cologne?
I love it in the summer

>>11420720
Crystal deodorant every day

>>11423349
thank you. I'll check it out.

>>11421660
You forgot that nichefags would rather smell like a beef Wellington that an extinct whale puked on and then got struck by lightning, if it means not smelling like an entry level Creed fagboi. GOD I hate approachable frags, they smell like date rape and niggers

Personally I consider anything containing IFRA-approved accords to be useful only for pouring down the drain. A frag must cost $800 for a 50ml EDP (did I mention EDC is abhorrent to me?), be out of production for at least eighty years, and cause muscular dystrophy in at least 40% of laboratory animals to be considered bottle worthy. If it has gore images from the Mexican drug war or pedophiliac imagery on the label, and can only be produced by levelling at least half the east Congo gorilla habitat to produce one bottle, so much the better

>>11423378
finally someone on here with good taste

>>11419505
Also looking for something that fits this description. Right now i got dior homme sport and verscae pour homme but im looking for something new(had those 2 for a while). Some people in this thread recommend bulgari aqua amara but is it silly for me to be wary of it since it garners alot of dislikes on fragrantica?

>>11423284

>>11423430
thanks. It's taking me a while, but I'm making my way through the list.

Your perfect fragrance

Looking for a autumn/winter fragrance that's suitable for a 20 year old. Would prefer something that smells manly, but not overpowering, decent projection and longevity. Can be a day/night scent, but would prefer a day time scent as winter nights where I live are death.
Price range is anything up to $150 AUD.

Currently I have YSL Jazz and Nautica Voyage if that helps

Thanks in advance

>>11423284
You didn't list a price range, but my first rec would be M7 Fresh. It's discontinued but findable if you're willing to spend a bit. And I haven't tried it yet in hot weather but I have a suspicion that Aoud Cuir d'Arabie would be stupendous in the summer. Well worth checking out if you are an oud and leather fan, especially the barnyard-y variety of some genuine oud oils.

>>11420720
Since they're unscented it makes absolutely positively utterly zero difference.

>>11423372
It's a like and not a love, personally. I usually don't like soapy scents, so that is a nice bit of praise from me. It's very pleasant for warm/hot weather. Very work safe and could go casual or formal, so versatile. I can't imagine anyone disliking it. It just doesn't have any wow factor for me, yet.

>>11423378
And there are people here right now who would buy that blind if it existed. At any price. Just to say they have it.

Any opinions on a teenage guy wearing white floral scents? Specifically Jasmine, Tuberose, etc. So think perfumes like "Jasmin et Cigarette", and "Carnal Flower"

And I know "if u liek it wear it man" but what's the real consensus? Especially with a contrasting note like Tobacco in it.

Need something good for dry heat. I'm a student with a parking spot that's a good walk from my classes so there is minor sweat build up. I do like woody scents, but I'll save that for winter. What would be a good masculine frag for my type of environment?

>>11424255
Wall Street if it's really fucking hot, Sel Marin if you want a "true" aquatic, At the Beach 1966 if you want to smell like vintage coppertone and sea notes, Acqua Di Gio for something basic but generic, Mugler Cologne for something fairly cheap whilst being very clean, Cool Water if you want to smell generically good and like you're from the 80's, Nautica Voyage for Cheap "Cologne", Unforgivable if you want to smell like Millisime Imperial without being Jewed by Creed, Set Sail St. Barts if you want to smell like a decent alcoholic beverage but if you also hate smelling good for long, Aspen if you want to smell Green and Old, Silver by Al-Rehab to smell like a cheap ass silver mountain water, Al Wisam Day to ALSO smell like a cheap ass silver mountain water, silver mountain water if you want to smell good, 4711 to smell good but you still hate longevity, costa azzura to smell like really good driftwood and citruses, crave by calvin klein if you want to smell similar for cheap, fire island to smell like sunscreen and flowers, tokyo mama fizz to smell like citrus soda, Eau Fraiche to smell generically okay

>>11424233
>white florals
i like them as best when they're the whole show by themselves, and natural and a bit green, like Le Labo Lys 41 or especially L'Artisan Parfumeur La Chasse Aux Papillons

>"Jasmin et Cigarette", and "Carnal Flower"
the ELdO was alright, a bit more dirty smelling then i'd like, but i found Carnal Flower pretty abhorent. the tuberose+eucalyptus+coconut+musk did not work for me at all

>>11424314
Dirty how? Like actual dirt or wot

>>11423378
What a great post

>>11423125
I was just busting your chops. It still amazes me that with two huge sites of fragrance reviews from people with experience that is measured in decades and collections that number in the thousands, people still want the opinion of a random anon.

So I busted out my sample a few hours ago. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. To me, it's like being in a wood shop with wood dust floating in the air. It has a powdery aspect that is offputting to me and I can see over-application could be an issue, especially in the warmer months. I'm not a huge sandalwood fan, but I do enjoy it when blended well, and I have several frags featuring that note that I like a lot better.

But then again, I am in the minority. Tons of people on BN and FG love it, so different strokes for different folks, right? And of course I'll keep trying it every so often. I used to hate GV and A*Men and now I consider them masterpieces.

>>11424255
Fucking KOUROS. It loves the heat. It eats degrees and spits out sex appeal. But seriously, very divisive scent, so sample first.

Also >>11424292 has a great list, but wish his return key worked. Adding:

212 Men
360º Red fM
Allure Homme Edition Blanche
Eau Aimable
Encre Noire Sport
Live Jazz
Salvatore Ferragamo pH
Terre d'Hermès
Guerlain Vetiver

And if you are going to class, make sure you apply before you leave the house, like an hour before class. If you do it just before class and work up a sweat you'll acquire the nickname Pulmonary Agent quickly.

>>11424314

It's fantastic huh? Can't wait to wear it this summer. Wanna try the Extreme flanker for maybe some better longevity and projection. And it is perfectly wearable by men.

thank you for your opinion, i figured over use would be horrible with this fragrance too, minimal application obliged

looking for a new smell, new to "designer" fragrances desu. Looking for slightly smokier/muskier scents. Price range ~$80. Winter where i'm from. I'd like an every day scent, something to wear to Uni and out and about (I dont club or anything like that). I dont like overly light or floral scents.

like dirty skin actually, my nose got something animalic from it

some other reviews have noted something faintly fecal, but i wouldn't go that far

Anything like Acqua di Gio but a little...better? I keep coming back to it as a summer fragrance but I want something more mature or refined or something like that. Can't find the right word. Maybe it's too sweet? I've tried profumo already.

>>11424181
thanks! I'll look into Aoud Cuir. Yes, I've never got any barnyard ouds.Yes, you can keep those fecal smells-I don't want them! I've mostly dealt with agar aura, buying the small samples a few times a year. I am just crazy about them! The owner is good with emails and I requested nothing barnyard or fecal. Ha.

Summer is already here, anyone got good methods to prevent sweating?
Scentless deodorants?
Pharmaceuticals?
I just need a base for fragrances.

>>11425215
Secret antiperspirant/deodorant. Smells mild enough not to clash with my fragrance, and it keeps me smelling clean in the tropical heat and humidity.

>>11425135
Try Sauvage, Bleu de Chanel, Terre d'Hermes, Dunhill Icon. They won't smell the same as AdG but they have the same structure as Profumo.

>>11424655
Try Prada Luna Rossa Extreme/Amber pour Homme Intense. They are resiny but light enough for daytime and are pretty non-offensive. Not that expensive too.

>>11425135
Essenza is the more mature AdG parfum. I don't know why people here insist that Profumo is better; Essenza smells like AdG drydown, more woody and less sweet than original AdG.

>>11425259
I've tried a few of those, but they're not exactly what I'm looking for, but thanks. There's one in there I've yet to try.

>>11425390
I wasn't that big a fan of profumo. I forgot there were other flankers, essenza sounds like it may work, thanks!

The thing with niche is that it is indeed polarizing in opinions, if you want to stay safe there are alot of cheaper options.

Been using crystal deodorant for a decade plus. It's 95degrees indoors at my work today and I applied it 9 hours ago. I've walked 7 miles in here today and sweated a bit, but not a hint of stink. I'm cool and comfortable and smell of my EdT only.

>>11426514
You mean that deodorant that you dip in water before applying?

edt or edp?

>>11426655
That's the one.

I went to check out scents wit a friend of mine and she picked out of all one million by Paco Rabanne. Do girls really dig that shit?

>>11426482
Nice. I still stand by wood and a nice thick stick can beat any of the other choices, except maybe a coconut. That could cause some damage.

>>11426663
EdT if you like all the stages of development, EdP if you just like the drydown.

>>11426677
Most people like pop music, blockbuster movies and The Big Bang Theory. They also like scents that just smell "good" and aren't too challenging. Most people are plebs about a lot of things, but yes, women are bigger plebs.

>>11426663
I should add that if it's for warmer weather get the EdT.

>>11424709
I dont think its bad. Idk where you live but where i live everybody got these thick scents that suffocates you in nightclubs,esp in the winter. Having something more fresh is pretty nice in that environment and vph isnt suffocating unless you spray boatloads on yourself.
There are better frags for the occasion tho but i think you already know that.

Something like La nuit de l'homme which actually lasts and projects well?

I probably have 50-ish mostly full sample vials from The Perfumed Court and Lucky Scent. Would anyone be interested in buying some at a cheaper price than those sites sell them? Or trading?

Not sure if this is cool to do here, but I figured I'd ask.

What are some fragrances that you've tried / copped because of a /frag/ recommendation, and how did those work out? You anons sold me on Encre Noire Sport, L'Artisan Caligna, and Guerlain Vetiver. All very strong recommendations that are getting worn this summer, so thanks.

>>11427016
Wood is the best on average BUT leafs have the most potencial.
When you smell the right leaf at the right occasion it's like the world makes more sense.

What should I wear for office work during the summer heat? Preferably something that lasts a full day

>>11413972
Grill here. I'm trying to pick out a new daily perfume. Is Versace yellow diamond any good?

I walked past some guy the other day when it was very hot and sunny and for just a few steps afterwards it smelled like cool, crisp, refreshing, winter air, or like a mojito. It wasn't overbearing at all, rather like going into an air conditioned room after standing in the heat. It was honestly the most pleasant experience I've had smelling someone's fragrance.

I know you can't tell me what he wore, but what are some frags that give this vibe off? I almost wanted to turn around and smell a little more.

>>11425390
Essenza smells like eggs and sulfur. Go with Bulgari Aqua Amara. Opening is strong, but dry down is perfect for ADG lovers

Thinking of getting Prada Amber pour Homme

Is it a bad idea for hot weather?

24 y/o, it's barely winter where i live and the weather is relaly humid. i can't spend toooo much money but i could spend a moderate amount. any rec?

Relative newcomer here. I see a lot of questions/etc about scents in hot and humid weather.

What makes a fragrance good or bad when it's 85 degrees F or hotter out? How does humidity play into it?

Is it entirely dependent on how much you sweat or is there more to it?

>>11428086
thank you

>>11428101
It depends on the notes. Something dark and heavy like thick base notes will be very headache inducing. Think spices like cinnamon, black pepper, red pepper, etc. Musks generally tend to be annoying, and other heavy notes like tobacco and vanilla generally don't work. There are exceptions, yes. But that's the general consensus. Humidity basically can make an irritating scent and make it even worse. I've been in places so hot and humid that even the safest citrus scents just make you want to vomit. But for the most part as long as it's a safer scent (i.e Citrus or some exceptionally well done scent from another family) you'll be okay.

>>11424014

Nope to both. Even if you are light on the trigger, you are overdressing. And leather frags in the summer? Not sure that's a great idea, either, generally speaking.

Aqua di Parma Colonia Leather is excellent for summer/spring as it is a pretty sweet leather smell. Reviews generally favor AdP over TL but I haven't smelled TL yet so I can't judge. AdP works the whole year.

>>11428603
Germany overall is pretty reputable, they are known for their decency.

You don't know shit about watches if you think it's cheap just because he's wearing a nato. That could be anything from a Timex to a Rolex. They're comfy in the summer and suitable for literally any dive/military watch.

>>11430576

I think it smells like coke and money. It's the only Tom Ford fragrance I like. Way better than that Grey Veviter shit that smells like purell or that tobacco vanilla shit that makes you smell like a cheap vanilla candle for a week. I'd buy a bottle of TL but it's way outside of my price range. I want to find that La Yaqawam stuff that is supposed to be really close, but I can't find a store with it and it's too pricey to blind buy.

>>11429094

It's the thick, rich, cloying, powdery ones you want to avoid in the heat. Fahrenheit is great in the summer. As is Kouros, GV, Havana... And I can't wait to try LYpH in the heat. Bet it will be glorious.

Lacoste White and Acqua di Gio profumo for summer right now.

Can't wait till fall so I can wear my favorite fragrance, Burberry London

>>11433426

That's not how you make friends.

>>11433129
Yeah, there's a distinct carbonated soda smell to Tok'yo Mama Fizzzzz that lasts for the first hour or two. Nice stuff and I'm enjoying it so far but I've only had it for a day. Can't give a final opinion on TMF until I've worn it a few more times.

Natos are great for dressing down your watch. Especially in the summer heat where they're more comfortable. I have an Omega Seamaster that I often throw on a nato if dressed casually. Gives that "I can afford nice things and it's not a big deal" sort of look.

>>11436800

No I just go to the store. I usually go to Neiman Marcus because they have good customer service. That is definitely the place to go to try out Tom Ford private blends.

>>11436800
I buy expensive fragrances blind after doing proper research. It's not like I drop $300 just because anon said Tuscan Leather would get me pussy. Only pull the trigger on a blind buy perfume if you are familiar with all of its notes and can afford to be disappointed.

>>11436800

oh man, i just copped a sample of this and pretty sure i'm gonna get a full bottle. absolutely love it, and i'd put it in my top 3/5 favorites. my only reservations are that longeavity is ass and the mint could settle a little quicker, but those are minor quibbles in my mind

I think it lasts for a while but it isn't overwhelming. I kept getting random whiffs of it throughout the night at a party on Friday and i wanted to stop and lick myself because it smelled so good.

The sample is 8ml and you choose what fragrance you want every month. The problem is that it currently doesn't have a huge selection. For Men fragrance it seems they have about 45 different brands with only 1-6 fragrance choice from each.
