If you want recs, provide as many criteria as possible: including sex, price range, seasons/weather, occasions, other frags/notes/accords you like/dislike, special conditions i.e. can easily be found in mall department stores, other ephemera i.e. personal style/aura you want to project, etc...

Male, 18, price range up to about 90 usd, looking for something for fall/winter. as for the mood, i created a moodboard with some pics on my computer to explain my taste http://www.gomoodboard.com/boards/GFi-uGPI/share

thanks

What should I try next? Been using la nuit de l'homme for a couple weeks
Sauvage
Acqua di gio profumo
armani code profumo
spicebomb
bleu de chanel
etc.
Looking for a crowdpleaser (with women mainly) which is less well known so I won't smell like every other fella

>>11905423
how about buying something you like instead of wearing shitty mall tier stuff to try to impress girls?

>>11905434
I do like these frags mate, they all smell great
Plus I'm new to the frag game so I figure I wanna try all the popular ones first before I move into the more niche area of fragrances

>>11905461
You're doing fine anon. Walk before you run. Try:

Dior Homme
Gucci pour Homme II

>female (23)
>any price, nothing super cheap since a lot of body sprays and cheap toilettes can give me headaches and trigger my allergies
>completely fine with men's/unisex cologne
>fall/winter, I live where it gets extremely cold
>dinner dates out, and nights in with my boyfriend
>something warm, sensual, cozy (rustic?) for sipping cocoa or cider by the fireplace, reading a book in the study, holiday decorating etc
>something long lasting that doesn't fade to a musk or powder scent

Right now I just wear Lavanila Pure Vanilla. It's very basic and doesn't last very long. I was hoping to find something a bit more sensual for winter time. My boyfriend really likes vanilla and sandalwood, as do I. We both hate fruity. fresh, musky, powdery scents. I used to wear Versace Bright Crystal (was a giant bottle as a gift), but he said it smelled like old lady. He also said this about TM Alien when I got a sample which I thought was weird. He is older than me so I'd like to avoid smelling too old and powdery, but also not too juvenile and sickly sweet

So I'm thinking amber, vanilla, some sort of wood, with possibly some hints of tobacco, leather, suede, whiskey or cognac, but nothing too masculine? I'm also ok with some patchouli, ylangylang, myrrh, or a bit of spiciness

>No almond, hazelnut, or other nut, shellfish or mollusk scents/notes because I'm allergic
>as little citrus, aquatic, fresh, baby powder, bright floral, and musk as possible

I read the last thread, and thought I might get some samples of Hermes L'Ambre des Merveilles and Tom Ford Amber Absolute since those seemed to fit my criteria from what I read about them on Fragrantica.

I want to order 5-10 samples at once, so any recs are appreciated.
Thank you! sorry this was so long

Hi, I'm a 22 year old financially struggling community college student who is slightly above average looking. 6 feet tall and a fucking skinny ass motherfucker. I think I give off a slightly effeminate vibe. Never bought cologne before but I fucking need some. I like vanilla, sandalwood, and citrus. I fucking hate sweet fruity shit. I am half korean and half german but look predominately asian which makes me extremely self conscious because I think asians are all ugly as fuck(including myself) but girls continually rate me as 8+. I also think I am very effeminate because of my asian features but apparently that, also, is just insecurity speaking. I would like a cologne that would suit me. I am described as the "cool, detached dude" so maybe something warm and masculine. IDK. IDK anything about choosing this shit. I just want to get laid more. Please help. And yes, cologne does get you fucking laid you cunts, the olfactory senses are some of the most prominent in the mental recognition of females so fuck off you naysayers.

Women think I'm hella manly and are turned off by my ridiculous insecurity but they stick around to fuck cus of the long dick. I know what reality is unlike you fairy tale princess faggots. I walk everywhere and I do what I have to do to survive. Tell me the last time you carried your best friend 30 miles out of the wilderness on a backpacking trip because he broke his leg. Ok that sounds a little gay but fuck you I never had parents so he is my family.

I don't think perfume's going to help you. A therapist and some meds would. There should be psychs on campus and it shouldn't cost anything. Wear La Nuit to your first session if it makes you feel better.

>>11906227
Why do I need a psych? I was evaluated after cancer and they deemed me remarkably well rounded with an amazing capability to adapt and cope with stressful situations. Went someone talks shit in baltimore, no matter how little 50% of the time someone gets shot, stabbed or jumped in the parking lot. Someone talks shit to me without any basis and won't post up when I give them the chance, and I'm the mentally unstable one? I think your girlfriend would disagree. In the last six months I've saved someones life. What have you done?

>>11906227
And I'm getting avant garde, not that chemically shit la nuit. Bitch.

>>11906236
>In the last six months I've saved someones life. What have you done?

Not posted my life story unsolicitedly on 4chan in a desperate cry for attention.

>>11906242
That's about 2 years of my life. At least I'm not such an insecure bitch I project onto someone I don't even know. Just like you are projecting now. Your insults are just a desperate cry for attention. All I wanted was a cologne suggestion and you decide to project all over me. Maybe come up with a valid criticism first. Then post yourself on here since you're so superior my man. Let the conglomeration of the world's thought judge you like I provide them the opportunity to do to me. Oh that's right you're too insecure. Probably for good reason.

>>11906242
Also let me give you a more in depth story of my life: today I, fucked your mom, let your dad suck my dick, ate the food out of your fridge, wiped my ass with your pillow, and then showed a few thousand people how much of a bitch you are.

>>11906260
>Your insults are just a desperate cry for attention.
I didn't insult you. I just suggested you see a psych.

>>11906265
>then showed a few thousand people how much of a bitch you are

You may be overestimating the number of people who care about fragrances on 4chan.

I hope you're not offended if I'm not reading these posts. Skimming is more than enough to see that you're not helping your case.

Anyway, have a good night. Elsewhere preferably.

>>11906301
So you didn't call me a faggot. Sorry I thought you were that guy. Can you understand that misinterpretation? And also you didn't give me any reasoning as to why I need to see a psych because if so, I will gladly take the advice. Obviously mental health is important.

>Jeremy Fragrance Starter Kit

But really, those are good beginner frags. I'd personally skip both of the Armani ones, but that's just me.

As for >>11905574 these recommendations, Gucci PH2 is good and everything but the performance renders it pointless imo. Dior Homme and MiP are great though.

Another good one in this beginner category, especially since we're into Autumn now, would be A*Men Pure Malt.

Jeremy seems like a genuinely decent guy tbf

>>11906803
Where can I try it in the UK? Don't want to blind buy

>>11907881
I totally agree. This is one instance where I would bet 90% of the people who hate on him are jealous nerds.

Also, I think a big part of why people in the frag com are turned off by him is because of his accent & broken english. His phrasing is awkward and makes him seem douchier than he probably really is.

So I've come to the theory that cologne doesn't work on fat people. Was fat and have a 1500$ cologne collection and never got complimented and don't think people could have smelled me. Lost 60lbs and now I get nothing but compliments at my new job. Shit is pretty awesome. The cologne definetly projects way more than it use to when I had weight on me.

Seriously I had 4 girls compliment my Aqcua di gio profumo at work the other day and also my Montale Red Aoud from a girl. Shit is cash. I thought I wasted all the money on cologne too.

>>11907906
nah you can tell he is a conceited asshole.

Even other fragrance youtubers say he is a jackass. He thinks he is above the rest of the fragrance community and nobody on youtube wants to work with him because of how rude he was to them

>>11907881

Guys I am so disappointed in la nuit de l'homme
I went in expecting it to dry down into something amazing and with a good opening
I was disappointed with the opening and the dry down smells like a perfume for a middle aged woman, like sweet flowers. I have tried it multiple times now and I'm not impressed

Good choice, anon and you're on the right track. Well, stay away from V&R: Spicebomb if you can. Armani are great especially AdG Profumo, then Savage (super crowd pleaser and compliment garner) and BdC EDP.

>>11909711

I have heard and read a lot of positive things about D&G: One EDP's smell. But it's performance is quite low than my expectation. Some what around 2 to 3 hours max. Confused a bit, though.

>>11909752
I blind buy almost exclusively, using the method you describe, and I've never been disappointed. Surprised perhaps, but always ultimately pleased with my choices. Research, research, research, and find reviewers whose tastes match your own.

Hi /fa/, I need an advice.
Male, 20 years old, but looking older because of shaved head (it suits me very well). I have no experience with fragrances other than some cheap shit so I guess I like most of the "notes" and "accords". I need something for winter. Only thing I care about is for the fragrance to suit me - I have just started college and I am still meeting new people, and I would like the fragrance to accompany my character. I am quite mysterious, don't like too much of attention and revealing details about my life in the beginning so something along those lines should be ok (not strong and sort of revealing it's smell after time?). Price doesn't matter that much as long as the perfume is accessible in Europe.

Are there any good frags with both sea salt/marine and smoky notes? I know it's an odd mix - I've never heard of a frag that pulls it off. Curious to see if there is one. Thanks :)

>>11907035

Yea, it's nice. imo, nowhere near deserving of the unrelenting hype it receives/received. But I understand what you mean & why you might not like it. Granted, I've never smelled an older batch so apparently the current formulation is garbage.

I wore L'homme a lot when I first got into frags, so I liked La Nuit a lot when I finally tried it. Never gotten a compliment while wearing it, except from my gf

Been thinking about pulling the trigger on DHP. I love DH but want a stronger version of it. I was hoping to find that in DHI but I was really let down. To me, I don't see why DHI gets so much hype, it seemed way too soft and bland to be considered "intense."

Anybody have any experience with DHP?

>>11910617
why?

>>11910617
That's a fuckload of money to spend on a blind buy. Why wouldn't you just buy a sample or go smell it at nordstrom?

>>11910622
Feel bad because I actually like DHI a lot but always get comments like "what smells like powder?" all the time. Feels bad

>>11910633
Well I still feel for ya, because as much as I love DH, I never get compliments on it. Only one time from a dyke at the Apple store. A couple times I sprayed the fuck out of it in frustration before going out. After hugging a couple female acquaintances, all i got was a mere "you smell... pretty."

Oh well. I'll wear DH for me, and Sauvage for them.

Just tried Égoïste and it's so bad. Like a powdery poo. Anyone else had that feeling?

I tried Fahrenheit at a grocery store and really liked it. I heard its a meme fragrance for old guys though. What do you think? First time buying a fragrance ever, I want to use it occasionally to uni/work as well as on weekends.

m, 20, central europe

>>11910617
Keep in mind that when you get a fresh bottle of Creed, the scent will take 1-2 weeks from first spray to fully mature. This was my experience with two different bottles of Aventus and also with Millesime Imperial. You may be initially underwhelmed with Aventus' performance and depth, but once it matures the rest of the bottle will be potent and full of blackcurrant/pineapple.

>>11905423
la nutt de l'homme ay lmao
op's pic look like a trap yall niggas gay

>>11910861
Honestly, don't buy Fahrenheit as a 20 year old for your first fragrance. It's not just that it's "for old guys," it just smells outdated and will not go over well with your peers. Go to a sephora or department store and smell some more. If you liked fahrenheit that easily, I'm sure you'll like plenty more approachable frags.

>>11910622
Blind bought it a while back. I did try the regular version. Parfum is much more "intense". I read quite a bit on fragrantica, some described it as being the closest to the original DH. I walked from DHI since it's sweeter, which was not what I was looking for at the moment.

The scent itself is great, it's almost a gourmand to me, whenever I get whiffs of it I feel my mouth water like I'm biting on an iris dessert, a very classy iris dessert kek.
Fragrantica has it as powdery, but mine isn't powdery at all, the iris note is there from start to finish, but it doesn't feel powdery. Also I think it's the orange note what gives it a nice twist, the perfume on paper seems pretty heavy but ends being really creamy instead.

Bonus points for the bottle and sprayer. Seriously, the fucking sprayer is goat, really easy to aim and dosify, every bottle should have this kind of sprayer.

I just hope my next blind buy becomes a "love it" like this one was.

>>11911136
Skip the versace, Get bleu de chanel or dior sauvage for the daytime and YSL la nuit for night time. I do find La Nuit to not be quite "fresh" enough for summer time though, for what it's worth. Depends on how hot it gets where you're at.

>>11911145

Opinions on L'eau D'issey Pour Homme?

>>11911195
Dislike it, heard it also got reformulated, so that might be the reason.

>>11911195
been around a long time, you run the risk of smelling like someone's ex. there are better semi aquatic options, unless you're looking specifically for the yuzu note.

for an 'elevated' l'eau d'issey check out still life by olfactive studios.

Anybody in here wear Encre Noire Sport? I like the sound of Encre Noire but the general consensus is that it's not really "wearable" and the sport version is much more approachable and wearable. Anybody have an opinion on this?

Male, 23, looking for a unique, long-lasting floral scent that wears well in warmer weather

Please respond

>>11911230
Not Sport, but I wear the regular EN as a daily fragrance, had the same dilemma as you so I wore both for a day before deciding between the two.

Sport is a lot less harsh version, the name might be a bit misleading, as it's more "warm" and nothing close to the freshness "sport" implies. The cypress and vetiver are still there, but they are suppressed by the citrus and nutmeg, making it more wearable. The drydown is exactly the same as with EN.

The added notes blend well with the EN formula and the result smells really good, but ,in my opinion, they don't go along with it's idea and identity of being minimalist and uncompromising, which is why I ultimately went with the original. So far I haven't had any problems with it not being wearable or had any negative comments.

I'd definitely recommend you try spraying on both before buying, since they are common in most stores. Also look into the Extreme version that landed last year, I haven't had the chance to get my hands on it yet, but it might be a good option based on what you described you're looking for.

Bvlgari Aqva or AdG Profumo?

>>11911393
aqua if you wanna smell only like the sea, adg if you liked the original

>>11910151
Colonia Assoluta

I'll give this a shot:

I'm looking for a unique-as-fuck fall scent. Something I will never get tired of smelling, an olfactory antidepressant if you will that will force total strangers to bury their noses in my chest.
I've been fixated on these as possible cops:

CdG Black Pepper or Hinoki
Lush All Good Things
Olympic Orchids Woodcut
Maybe an HdP or Parfumerie Generale?

Thanks in advance anon.

>>11911393

aqva is softer, but Profumo will be much louder. Both smell "nice". If you liked the original AdG, and you wanted it louder with spices, then get Profumo.

If you care about price, you can get Aqva for half the price.

what type of perfume on a girl would make you the most attracted to her?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ9W5QURIv8

>tfw regulations are killing fragrance

>>11911654

Something warm and floral, maybe a bit musky, but it ultimately depends on the girl's style and how it compliments it, some can pull masculine fragrances really well.

The only kind that I find repulsive are fragrances that have dominant fruity notes, especially when the girl douses every bit of clothing she has on in it.

>>11911611
>smells better
NAH M8

probably around the same. plus, basics aren't able to differentiate generic trash from fragrances with character.

If you plan on blind-buying it, get the EDP.

>>11911234
Dior Fahrenheit 32
Jean Paul Gaultier Fleur de Male
Bond No 9 Fire Island

>>11911653
that's interesting, i was kinda unimpressed with the dior privee sprayers. i had dhi and sauvage before i bought a bottle of bois d'argent and my bois sprayer just kinda seems like the prototype to the other 2

>>11911129
Have a bottle of Fou d'Absinthe. It's a lovely scent, but soft and not terribly long lived. This seems to be the trend for L'Artisan in my experience. Beautiful parfums with just moderate performance.

>>11911744
That picture is of EDP, mate.

Friendly reminder that the Bond No. 9 refill event is happening now through November 9. It's basically buy 2 at retail price, get a 100ml tester free (20 choices of tester this time). Not huge savings over online vendors, but if you don't trust the gray market and like to purchase your juice directly from the source, this is a good way to load up on Bonds.

Personally this is an excuse for me to buy the 2016 releases rather than wait a full year for them to show up on Fragnet / Beautyspin.

Thanks for letting me know, projection is usually pretty weak on my skin.

Do you know any other fragrances that smell similar to Fou d'Absinthe?

>>11911987

Thoughts on pic related ?

So what's the verdict on Escentric Molecules?

Whats the deal with the first couple sprays out of a new bottle? I got club de nuit and the first 10 sprays were atrocious and pungent, but now it smells really good and understated.

>>11913212
Bumping.

>>11913289
What I have learned is that the juice already in the sprayer gets stagnant, so people would spray that on their chests or somewhere that is covered. The second & third pumps are fresh so the notes are more pronounced and hits better on the skin.

>>11913212
>>11913439
This one has come up in the past few threads. Consensus is that it's better than previous Axe/Lynx spray varieties, but still a cheap body spray. Affordable way to get noticed, but ultimately pedestrian and entry-level. Body sprays also do not last as long as an Eau de Toilette and contain relatively few applications per can. In the end, that Axe Tobacco spray is certainly more expensive per use than if you bought a 100ml bottle of Guerlain Vetiver.

>>11913289
It's probably just your nose getting used to the scent. There is so much going on in many frags that it can take many applications before your nose can make sense of it all.

>>11913452
But the feeder tube is empty in a new bottle. That's how you tell it's new: it takes 4 or so sprays before you get any juice.

Just wanted to post a warning to all. Mr. Burberry by Burberry has weak sillage, low longevity, and loses its magic after 30 minutes of wear. It smelled nice at first, but I'm more of a Tom Ford Extreme Noir, or YSL L'Homme kind of Chad.

>>11913638
Some of them, sure. The crazy thing about fragrance is that every nose is different. Different people detect different things in the same scent. Of course, most people aren't sticking their nose to your skin like you likely are. Smelling someone's sillage from 5' away is a very different experience.

Guys which is less popular, acqua di gio profumo or sauvage?

>>11914037
Probably ADG Profumo, even though ADG is waaay more popular than sauvage.

>>11914047
Is profumo different enough to the original for people to not just think I'm wearing ADG?

>>11914053
Dunno, never smelled it. That type of fragrance isn't really my bag. I'm basing my opinion >>11914037 there off the fact that I've seen plenty of ads for Sauvage and none for ADG profumo. Heard people talk about Sauvage, and never ADG profumo, etc.

What is the most expensive fragrance that you think deserves its price tag?

>people still fall for the ysl homme/la nuit memes
>in 2016

youd htink theyd learn to google

Going to buy a batch of samples from Luckyscent soon. Suggest me some of your favorites to try that don't get brought up here a lot (I've tried most of the big name, popular stuff that they'd sell).

>>11913983
Check out Mugler Pure Havane
Possibly Guerlain Vetiver

>>11914037
Sauvage is definitely more popular.
http://www.basenotes.net/bn_todaysscent.php?p=boys&t=alltime
>>11914047
Profumo is very different from the original AdG. Not even recognizable as a flanker in my opinion. AdG Essenza is closer, but even that one is distinct from normal Acqua di Gio.

>>11914441
Most Diptyques are worth their ~$125 list price in my opinion. I won't pay full retail for Creed or Bond, but their large bottles are definitely worth their $100-$175 street prices. Chanel and Dior are pricing / distribution Nazis but I play along and pay their retail prices just because I have no choice.

>>11913630
Dior Sauvage is the current all-season, all-occasion king. This title was previously held by Bleu de Chanel. Both are good starting fragrances; you will still want to wear these even once you learn more about perfume and begin to grow your collection. Browse the OP image and research perfumes of interest at Fragrantica / Basenotes.

ENS is more versatile for sure. I have both but rarely wear either. When I reach for one, it's Sport, but that could change as Winter approaches. Another anon here says EN is his rainy day fragrance. I'll try both when the stormy season hits.

>>11911115
Nobody really comes away from Aventus noticing the rose. It's there if you go sniffing for it, trying to find it in the blend, but it's a very minor player in this particular composition.

Is Prada Amber good for office and everyday use?

>>11914750
I would have to imagine it's because Sephora employees don't get commission or at least not as much commission as dept store SA's, therefore they have less motivation to push you to buy. Just a guess. But I agree, it's way more comfortable shopping at Sephora than dept. stores. It's a shame their selection is so limited.

>>11914705
Really well said about Sauvage and BdC. Good beginner frags that you'll still want to wear when you get further into fragrance.

>>11915798
Sure. Most of Prada's stuff does the "clean, soapy" thing really well, rendering it good for office use imo.

Nice idea

I'm new to the game and would like to know what kind of scent would you say is a more relaxed, youthful and non-offensive at any time? I'm not looking for anything sweet or woodsy which shouts excitement/gentlemanly.
I've been eyeing Cool Water and Versace Pour Homme but I'm intimidated by how they'd be weird on cooler daytime and night.

im new to this is EDT the shit version and should i always get EDP ?

>>11919807
You can typically count on a bottle of perfume to stay fresh for 3 years from the first time it is sprayed. Higher concentration formulations (eau de parfum, perfume oil) age better than EdT / cologne sprays. Consistently high heat / large temperature changes will accelerate deterioration. It's rare for a bottle to turn bad all at once; rather, the top notes may last for a shorter time or the juice might not develop the way it used to. Keep your collection in a cool dark closet or cupboard rather than in the open.

I don't have too many older frags but my oldest is a six year old bottle of Body Shop White Musk. I kept it on the bathroom counter and have generally neglected it, but it still smells like new.

Just test your old stuff and see how it smells. It's most likely fine.

>>11918838
Collector here. I rarely touch my bottle of VpH and don't recommend it personally. It is the most synthetic smelling juice I own and is my least favorite Versace.

Sauvage is probably best for your style / intended use. It's youthful and casual and works for day / night equally well.

>>11919453
In the perfumesociety FAQ in OP.

Most come in sprays, but some come in a "splash" which was more popular back in the day. I can't think of a fragrance that is improved by splashing it on. Much harder to control how much you apply too.

>>11919807
I have bottles from the 80s that still smell great, most better than current formulations. I had ONE sample out of hundreds that turned. It just smelled bad. Likely an air leak.

>>11920164
I had a sample of Aventus I scored from neimans months ago. They handed it to me in a small cylindrical container (of course) so I transferred it to one of those sephora atomizers. After months of letting it sit I decided to wear it again and it smelled like fucking toxic waste. I've tried near-empty dept store testers of other fragrances and suffered through that similar rotten, hesperidic aroma. What is the chemical process responsible for this?

>>11920087

I've used
https://amzn.com/B00X98DBTM
and
https://amzn.com/B0118MVV2E
as well as some 3ml plastic vials that snap closed but are currently unavailable on Amazon.

The first link is pretty decent. Maybe 1 in 10 sprayers will have an issue right out of the package, but the vials keep fresh for months at a time and perform reliably.

Second link is certainly higher grade product, and functions nicely. I've had about the same sprayer defect rate of 1/10. One quirk to this set is that the sprayer doesn't retain scents for whatever reason. So if you're sniffing the vial, you don't necessarily smell the fragrance. Odd.

>>11920696
hate was the wrong word, it was just a little too weird and I couldn't see myself wearing it

but now i find it really comforting, the burnt electronic smell, totally unoffensive and unique

>>11918456
I like their bottles, but haven't liked anything I've tried from them (Vento nel Vento and Agrumi Amari di Sicilia). But that one looks interesting. Have you tried it? How noticeable is pine?

My package of clone oils came in. They are very good clones and cost £2.50 per 10 mls delivered of oil(rough equivalent to 50ml edt). I got something labelled "Lakoste red special" and expected it to be a clone of Lacoste Style in Play but it smells nothing like what I remember Style in Play smells like. Is there some other red lacoste scent this is probably referring to instead?

All the other ones I do recognise and they're pretty close. Tuscan Leather's great.

it resides in the purgatory between quality fragrances and generic macy's filler. not really good but superficially enjoyable. falls apart upon further examination and becomes cloying once you wear it regularly.

w2c fragrances online that do international shipping?

>>11923914
Most of the big American vendors have online shipping

>>11923914
Anywhere? I'm more curious to hear which online vendors do NOT ship internationally.

>>11923914
Would be good to know where you are located.

Anybody tried this? Got really good performance and smells similar to 1 million but has a classier take on it IMO
Can this compete with sauvage and the beasts like it for clubbing?

Just got YSL L'Homme from scentbird this month. So generic and feminine. Don't understand the praise. Literally fuck boi , jeremey meme tier like I expected.

>>11922135
Are those like $3,000 worth of fragrances?

>>11924404
reformulated

the fact that people STILL recommend lhomme and la nuit is the biggest fucking crime in this community

literally encouraging retards to waste money

Five Bonds to consider (no order):

>B9
Copped this a few weeks back and it has dominated my recent wears, which doesn't normally happen to me. It's a nice update to Bond Signature Scent - oud meets white florals in a modern (western), lightweight oriental. Bond scents have the longest lasting jasmine notes I've experienced.

>Scent of Peace fH
My most worn Bond. Dark fruit and wood workhorse with above average performance even for Bond. Loud. I'm partial to its currant and juniper notes. Can be looked at as Bleecker Street's Chad younger brother or Bond's entry in the Bleuvage category. Gets attention. I bought a backup bottle.

>Shelter Island
If you're down with agarwood, this is worth exploring. Especially if you're normally turned off by the rose-oud pairing (no rose here). Unique summertime aquatic wood recommended to me by /frag/. Mental picture: summer afternoon walk along a wooden seaside pier.

>Eau de New York
Super Cologne. All of the white flowers plus all of the citrus fruits, with some moss and vetiver holding things together. A subtle aquatic note runs through the composition. The Bond take on the citrus aromatic standard is powerful and concentrated, lasting a full 8 hours. Eat it, Neroli Portofino.

>Chez Bond
Misunderstood as a blatant Green Irish Tweed ripoff, this fragrance is a major contributor to the Bond hate. Really, it is just a solidly crafted genre piece that rounded out the Bond catalog at launch. If it has to be considered in Creed terms, Chez Bond is best thought of as GIT Sport. CB uses citrus and tea in place of lemon verbena and iris, and ends up sweeter and smoother overall. Linear, straightforward, and almost unisex; I could see CB being worn by a woman who likes green citrus scents. Less complex than the equivalent Creed, especially at the opening, but easy to wear and to enjoy. This and Scent of Peace typify the Bond approach for me in that regard.

Cheap would be good.
Something suitable for this upcoming fall and winter.
Primarily something for everyday use at the office. I can leave the experimentation for the evenings. I suppose I'd like to smell "mature", not like an old man, but put-together. I'm generally a quiet person but it would be nice if the fragrance could help me stand out. My clothing is primarily dark or with subdued tones (I'm moving towards a gray-heavy wardrobe), and my skin is light and my hair is dark.

I'm very new to this so the samples I've been testing are basically the result of awkward Sephora interactions. Therefore I'll take any recommendations. Thoughts on what I've tried so far:

Fahrenheit EDP - my girlfriend liked it a lot, and I thought it was pretty good too, though this seems like a pretty rare one that I'd have to get at full price.
Bulgari Pour Homme Soir - this is the one I've been playing around with the most. I really enjoy the smell but I found that it reeeally seems to contrast with me if I haven't showered.
Burberry London - my girlfriend said it smells "really sweet". I agree, to me it smells like the way bright red berries look, maybe a little too much. Nevertheless something feels "right" about this one and I enjoy it.
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver - it's calming but it does feel a little too old.
ADG - good thing I'm not really into this one anyway.

>>11918838
Honestly, CDG Odeur 53. It's so light and smells a lot better than the description makes it out to be.
Just sample it first because it's a love it or hate it type of fragrance. I was like this guy >>11920591 and it actually gave me headaches when I smelled it vial and first dabbed it on, but over time I grew to love it.

Out of those two though, VPH is a pretty good fragrance. Love the citrus notes in it and it gives off this feeling of coolness on a hot day. Like you're zesting lemons and oranges on a hot day at the beach with faint hints of seawater and warm sand.

>>11924775
I forgot to mention, I thought Margiela By the Fireplace was interesting as fuck. Like damn.

>>11924775
Have you smelled The One: For Men by Dolce&Gabbana? It might be a tad "basic", but it has nice warm notes with the sort of "mature" feeling that you're looking for without breaking the bank.

Seriously that shit is like $60 a 50 ml bottle.

I used to wear their Fiji deodorant but I didn't like how it smelled when I got sweaty.
Moved onto Arm and Hammer essentials and haven't looked back.

>>11924414
I try not to pay too much attention to the running total. Everyone has a hobby. God bless the gray market for making this one more affordable.

CB I Hate Perfume Black March or Wild Hunt

I find those two to be especially fall-appropriate though and I'm not sure if maybe you're trying for an autumn antithesis

>>11924775
Just wore vintage Fahrenheit today. Funny, I never considered it a leather scent, but the leather was shining today. Glorious. And I am familiar with and enjoy all those but BpHS. You might enjoy:

Antaeus
Eau Sauvage Parfum
Égoïste
Havana
Midnight in Paris

And not a single one of those has been reformulated. In Jeremey I trust.

What perfume smells like ass?
I want to smell like a butthole that just let out a braap.
I'm 100% serious.

>>11924866
Just get a can of propane, spray some on a rag, and dab it on.

Or I guess you could get one of those "fart in a can" type gag gifts.

>>11924835
>BdC EDP

honestly doesn't perform that well. granted, it lasts fucking ages, but its projection is quite poor, with minimal sillage

>>11924866
Maybe Demeter has something

>>11924870
True and even Jeremey approves this. But it really smells good, tbqh.
