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...

Crystal deodorant is the stuff. Been using it for 15 years and I never stink, even after a full summertime work day. After applying, I spray my daily choice of perfume once in each armpit and once on my chest. Perfect.

I swear by this shit. It's labeled uncescented, but it has a very light citrus smell when applied and is barely noticeable through the day.
Plus it doesn't make your pits reek or stain your shirts.

>>11996529
That looks cool, but it's not the one I'm asking about. The 5 sample thing is a secondary service on a bigger fragrance store.

looking for an amber scent that makes me drown in amber

>>11996480
Shite, I don't think I was clear enough. For instance, I have Terre d'Hermes as both the parfum and the deodorant. However, I'm just applying one spray to the chest but about ~7 full swipes of deodorant to each underarm. I've lately been suspecting that I smell too strongly with the added deodorant, so should I just tone down how much deodorant I apply? I don't want to be walking around work smelling like a bottle of Terre d'Hermes is all.

>>11996586
Never having smelled the TdH deodorant, I couldn't really say. I only have 360º Red fM deodorant and I doubt it adds much. I only wear it to the gym in lieu of any fragrance. I would always err on the side of caution if you're going to be in close proximity of other people indoors. Ask people and adjust accordingly.

Seconding Amber Absolute. If you can, try Stephane Humbert's O'Hira though- it's leagues richer and darker.

Also, Amber Aurea by Profumum Roma is even better, in my opinion. Sensual and perfectly balanced, though not without drowning you in a luscious amber first.

>>11991582
ill buy it. pls dont fuck with me here

Bought la Nuit and the first few sprays were stunning and lasted fucking hours with incredible sillage. My gf could still smell it in the car days later.

Week or two later and it's like fucking water. Only way anyone in work can smell it on me is if I fucking bathe myself in the stuff. I'm talking continuous sprays along my neck, collarbone, chest, down my arms, elbowpits and back of my neck. Even then the sillage disappears after an hour or two.

What in the actual fuck have they done to this scent?

>>11997686
didn't YSL water it down by 15%?

If you could only have 1 fragrance, what would it be???

>>11997747
The acquisition by L'Oréal is the culprit, but yes, it lasts as a close-to-skin scent on me for about two hours and then vanishes entirely, projection is at the very best an hour only, most times half of that. Hence why I wish people like >>11996126 would quit suggesting such a shit frag. Unless you find the pre-reformulated juice, the pricetag is not worth the cop. A quick google search gives a few suggestions for similar frags but effay knows best so please let's start giving suggestions for alternatives.

Anyone here have any experience with the Armani Privé line?
I bought Rosé D'Arabie recently and I am loving it, perhaps the most beautiful winter/evening fragrance I have tried. It smells so rich, so exclusive, that I almost feel underdressed, lol.

Any recommendations for a winter evening date fragrance?

A shower after your shift is over?
Doubt anyone will notice your frag at McDees, but you can always try the current meme which is Sauvage.

>>11998144
Midnight in Paris was reformulated from what I've read so try it on before buying.
Amara isn't a winter frag.
I dislike Le Male and so Ultra was unbearable to my nose.
Not a fan of Varvatos, too synthetic to my nose.
I'll go ahead and suggest Bvlgari Man In Black for the okay opening and good drydown in my opinion, given the current reality of date frags and that you are looking at Ultra Male and Rebel which can pass as spicy sweet. I'm not fond of CH perfumes, they have this sweet note in the opening that makes me think "feminine" every time.
But it mostly depends on what you want to project. I could just as easily suggest something more formal like Armani Eau de Nuit as I can suggest Versace Eros.

>>11998987
Cheers, that's quite a robust breakdown, I'll try a few of the suggestions out in person and see!

Read a comment somewhere that said Azzaro pour homme smells like Yardley's English Lavender soap. I love Yardley soap so I was wondering if this is true. Can anyone confirm? Also, thoughts on Azzaro pour homme in general? I'm thinking of blind buying.

>>12001837
Over here you can find Azzaro Pour Homme anywhere you go.
Think of old man's perfume.
Now multiply that a bit.
You get Azzaro Pour Homme. It's strong, definitely for older gents and might only be appreciated by your grandma. If she's already passed away, she probably still appreciates this smell.

Tried Encre Noire, L'Eau du Navigateur and Terre D'Hermes Parfum today.
Encre Noire - I love this from the bottom of my heart, but the projection on my skin seems to be a tad bad. Will search for the Sport version to see if it is more wearable in all seasons, because damn this is what I was searching for, for a long while. Scent 4/5 because of poor wearability, Sillage 2/5 with only a small spray, maybe more will bring it out more, Longevity 4/5.
Terre D'Hermes Parfum: If I had to pick a favorite out of these three I tried today, it would definitely be TDHP. It's what I would imagine rubbing a bunch of oranges on a tree trunk would smell like, the dry down is fantastic, lasts forever, is a scent I see myself wearing often when I cop this, but definitely not a frag for special occasions. Scent 5/5, Sillage 4/5, Longevity 5/5
L'Eau du Navigateur: a pirate can wear this easily; if you're not a pirate, you better be older than 35 to think of copping this one. For the time it was released, I can see this being a head turner. Today, it's a bit outdated. Interesting stuff; nonetheless, I can appreciate it for it's art. Scent 3/5 (without worrying about wearability, 4/5; perhaps a 5/5 after the drydown), Sillage 5/5, Longevity 5/5.

>>12002626
I've heard Azzaro Chrome smells similar to Ck1, is that true? Which of those two would you say is better?

File: nd.1377[1].jpg (44KB, 300x422px) Image search: [Google]

On the first sniff, I barely perceived it, and thought, "Eh."
On the second, I still thought it was barely discernible and all right.
But then I suddenly fell in love with it after a few more tries. Now I'm obsessed over it. It sends raptures through me every time I put the mouilette up to my nose, not kidding. Incredible powdery, nuzzling, silvery haze of Florentine iris and myrrh. Highly recommended to try. Never has a fragrance oozed such nonchalant elegance and sophistication.

Also, I've heard from three different people on different occasions how popular it is in Paris and Italy and about nowhere else. Everyone sophisticated and elegant uses this in Paris, so I hear.

I'll list some quick details for the sake of it:

>27
>male
>live in CT, almost winter time
>wear cologne casually during the day, not so much at night
>I generally like earthy / woodsy scent
>don't like spending too much, prefer having a handful of good budget friendly colognes than one expensive fragrance (I usually go up to $50)

Anyways, I was wondering, does anyone have suggestions with a 'Christmas-y', wintery type of scent or vibe to it? Something that maybe has a hint of pine / fir, but isn't too overbearing. Some scents I already have for Winter are Burberry London, Terre d'hermes, and Baldessarini Ambre. I've tried he wood rocky Mountain, but it didn't do much for me. I like the others I mentioned well enough, but they don't meet the criteria that I'm looking for right now.

>>12003097
Also, maybe in addition to or just apart from what I listed, any recs for a combo of these would be nice: vanilla, patchouli, peppermint, musk

>>12001732
It can be, in colder weather the incense seems to come through more than the bergamot and sea notes. Still has a slight aquatic vibe though, which I personally only enjoy in the summer.

>>12002797
CK One. It is true, they're remarkably similar. But for me CK One is better, Chrome manages to smell more synthetic than CK.

>>12003097
>>12003140

As far as your first post, check out John Varvatos Vintage. My #1 rec would be Serge Lutens Fille en Aiguilles but then again I think it might be too piney for what you're looking for plus its on the expensive side relative to your budget (although it can be had for less that $100 online and the quality is outstanding)

Other recs for your second post
Patchouli & Musk - Narciso Rodriguez for Him, Kiehl's Original Musk
Mint & Vanilla - Cartier Roadster, Versace Eros, Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male
Vanilla & Musk - Jean Paul Gaultier Gaultier 2

Any recommendations for genital stench? I mean, besides showering once or twice a day, obviously. Is there anything else which might work?

>>12003849
Deodorizing body spray. Just give your balls a quick spray and air them out before you slip on your underwear.

That aside, why would you mask your own pheromones? Girls love that slightly off smell of body sweat when you have sex.

is it really that bad? is the scent different as well or does it just not last as long? any gud alternatives?

>>12004262
Slightly different scent, projects for an hour at best, three hours at best as a skin scent (if you bury your nose where you sprayed)
As far as I know there are no alternatives that smell close enough that it may pass as the same frag but there's tons of stuff out there that do the same job (according to fragrantica, at least).

Oh, I would definitely get it, if I could afford it. Not sure if it's worth the outrageous price (especially if you're talking about the one with the marble bust, which it seems like you are), but it is an amazing fragrance, with a wonderfully full bodied peach that isn't too fruity.

Definitely try it.

>>12005290
I've heard it's a great scent. I've found I'm not so much a fan of most fougeres or lavender blends.

I was more thinking along the concept lines of Serge Lutens Encens et Lavande or Gris Clair.

Thoughts on this?

>>12002797
Not this anon >>12003271 but I agree with them. Chrome smells nice but CK One takes the cake every time. However, try some on your skin first, it smells different for each person and a few people I know dont like it due to the way it smells on them. Depending on your skim chemistry it can either smell like warm, ambery citrus (which is what you want) or sour, synthetic citrus (you do not want this, smells cheap and nasty.
Thankfully my skin produces the former and not the latter, but definitely test it on yourself to find out. This frag is worth it and really shines in the summer heat

>"Stop wearing cologne. Women don’t find it attractive. If you don’t believe me, here is a quote from a press release from the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago: “Men’s colognes actually reduced vaginal blood flow.” Foundation director Al Hirsch hooked women up to a vaginal photoplethysmograph and had them wear surgical masks scented with ten different aromas or combinations of aromas. (To be sure the women weren’t just getting aroused by dressing up in surgical masks, Hirsch put unscented masks onto a control group.) In addition to the smell of cologne, the women were turned off by the scent of cherry and of “charcoal barbeque meat.” At the top of the women’s turn-on list was, mysteriously, a mixture of cucumber and Good ’n’ Plenty candy. It was said to increase vaginal blood flow by 13 percent.”

What's the best cologne that smells like cucumber and / or Good n Plenty?

One would think there's quite a bit of difference in reaction when going from casually sensing a man wearing perfume to being put in a "vaginal photoplethysmograph" with a scented surgical mask on the face.

Just bought VpH last week and I've had the exact opposite experience. Out of the box it smells great but disappears within 30 mins and I was pretty pissed. However a week later it lasts 8+ hours on my skin. Not entirely sure what's going on here.

>>12009568
Apparently the first few sprays of frags can be shit because the juice oxidises in the atomiser
Not sure how much truth there is to that but a lot of people have that experience when they get a new frag
How do you like vph anyway? Rating?

>>12009585
I think its a solid 8/10. I bought it because i ran out of Allure Homme Sport and it's said to be very similar while being less than half the price. The top notes remind me more of Acqua di Gio, but after the first 10 mins it segues into a much cleaner version of AHS. A lot of people say they can't smell the oud in the drydown but if you've ever smelled it it's definitely there. I'm surprised I like the scent so much seeing as I bought it during the winter and it's supposed to be a summer frag

>>12005690
Oh, then you have got to try Fourreau Noir by Serge. Fantastic lavender wrapped in smoke and incense. Delicious in winter.

It's definitely a summer frag for the airy elements in it. Would find it odd to be wearing that fresh and clean scent on a snowy day, I already find it really odd to wear fresh scents at night during hot summers but hey, I'm very particular about the seasons and time of day.

I want a frag that smells like smoke coming from a fireplace/old stove that is burning woods during winter, and it's a smell you can smell from far away on your walk back home. Basically, a smoke frag that isn't too reminiscent of oriental-store incense. Can anyone help me out?

>>12011154
Have you tried Encre Noire? It's got the burning wood vibe that is distinctly different from incense.

>>12011249
I really don't get that vibe from Encre Noire. Only get a dose of earthy, grassy and rooty vetiver, no smoke. I want a smoke perfume that smells like fumes from a house chimney in winter.

You need at least 3 frags. But I say you need something like 5-6. Two for summer/spring, two for winter/autumn, at least one for special occasions.
You can split the seasonal frags as indoors/outdoors, day/night, formal/informal, whichever is better for you to understand the purpose of your purchase so you don't end up buying 10 fresh aquatics and thinking it's a nice collection. Frags are like clothes, you don't want to wear a leather jacket when it's 100 degrees outside nor do you want to wear shorts and flipflops when it's -10.

It's tough finding a smoky scent that isn't high-churchy like Avignon or even mildly churchy like Bois d'Encens?

Try L'Incendiare, maybe? Although the ridiculous price point makes it a starting reference fragrance, if anything.

I don't see why being gay means you have to choose your fragrances any differently than anyone else. No one expects me to go out with Fracas or Le Parfum de Therese.

That being said, I can't add anything to this discussion, because I really dislike traditional hesperidic 'colognes' with the typical neroli, bergamot notes. The only thing I have close to it is Venetian Bergamot.

>>12012424
>Venetian Bergamot.
lol overpriced

it's not bad, but it's overpriced.

>>12012431
All Tom Ford Private Blend fragrances are. I never purchase any. I tend to do this to all fragrance houses, but Tom Ford is particularly generous:
They're happy to give out large 5ml sample vials on request in their boutiques. I've gotten 10mls of several and I've never needed to buy anything from them.

Some fragrance lovers need a full bottle, but my collection just consists of decants. It's the only way I can afford this hobby.

>>12012455
But the thing is that even though all Tom Fords are overpriced barring their normal line, some are actually interesting. Like Tuscan Leather and shit. Venetian Bergamot is so generic for the price it hurts.

Looking for the ultimate country club scent, something similar to Guerlain's Vetiver

Something boozy, tobaccoy but extremely expensive smelling

Basically what older people think of when they think of "cologne", but not "old" smelling

thoughts on terre d'hermes?

>>12012113
Pure shit. Smells like tears over concrete with violet.

>>12013956
Not bad but very far from good. There are many better "aquatic" frags, so why stick with this overused and synthetic bubblegum mess?

>>12014082
Breddy good. Check out the fragrantica reviews, I think they're spot on. I'm a frag newb so I can't elaborate on what notes are present, but I can say that it has a nice citrus opening and a generally "dry earth" character, not sure how to explain it. Would recommend sampling.

>>12014082
Very formal citric vetiver, bitter orange rubbed against a tree trunk until it's blended together, nice fall/spring frag, very decent performance, not for anyone in their teens or even early 20s depending on wardrobe. EDP is better than current EDT, but I wouldn't know since I only have properly sampled the EDP.
Oh, also has the Iso E Super thing going on, some people hate that; but my nose can't really isolate that out yet, even in Encre Noire.
For more citric chypres that are formal, many Acqua di Parma colognes are the way to go with I suppose the most popular Colonia Assoluta. For more woodsy chypres you can try the staple Aramis or, for something newer, Guerlain Homme L'Eau Boisée (think Guerlain Vetiver, but with woods amped over the vetiver with a fresh Guerlinade); and it doesn't hurt to try the Hermes Jardin series that are also done by Ellena so they have his style imprinted throughout.

Guess this sums it up.

>>12013913

I've been wearing it as a daily scent for the last two months and had no negative comments on it, even from people who would usually tell me when they disliked what I was wearing. It doesn't project far, so it won't cloy people around you unless they get close. Wouldn't wear it to a date though.

If you like the scent, but are unsure of it's wearability, the EN a l'Extreme is a great alternative.

dug out a*men this winter. not sure if i got a reformulated bottle, doesnt last as long but still one of my favourites and every girl likes it

>>12014497
Not the best ever.

I used to have a bottle of fierce in high school and wore it often. It did get compliments but more often than not I got comments like "you smell like the mall!"

Recently I smelled fierce on this bass player who my friend is recording. It's a very distinct smell, but I believe you need to be a certain type of person to actually pull it off (read: Chad). A long haired skinnyfat guy wearing a Thor's Hammer necklace absolutely can not wear this. If you're 16 and a football player, that's a different story.

Is my taste pleb? Can anyone rec something I might like based on my taste? Do I have a type?

Fragrances I currently wear:
Paco Rabane One Million (yes, fully aware this is pleb, but my now wife got me some when it first came out and we first started dating, so it reminds her of that time and it's good to keep in rotation.)
AdP Colonia essenza, probably my favourite
Prada? Lunarossa
Terre d'Hermes

All and any Jeremy Fragrance top 10 list are fine for you as long as you try them and not blind buy. You're just beginning, so no point in wanting a tailored recommendation. Try the top 10 there, search for the 10 beginner fragrances guide on base notes, and whenever you want to test a frag see if they can give you samples so you don't have to stroll over to their store every time. If they don't they're complete jerks who don't deserve your money, so milk their testers dry for as long as you want to test a frag and then please cop online or elsewhere.

What are some of the comfiest, budget friendly (sub $100) winter frags that you like? Smells for winter that seem like a cozy cabin, maybe a soft sweater. Something that makes someone else feel like hugging you when they smell it.

>>12017039
because who gives a fuck what scents you wore the most

>>12017259
dolce gabbana the one is everywhere but it achieves that effect.

definitely only wear if you live in the middle of nowhere where nobody else is wearing it.

>>12017259
Burberry London achieves that, I suppose. Performance is bad but who says you can't reapply that at your own house during the comfy before Christmas party you're holding with the gf and friends.

How much of an idiot will people think I am if I wear just a little bit of fragrance daily?

new to fragrances

is the 5 fl oz a lot worse than the 3.4? why is so cheap for that much more?

>>12017662
>why is so cheap for that much more?
economics aside, because of the impulse you're experiencing right now will make them more money than if you bought the small bottle.

why do people still buy small bottles? most people don't finish them anyway. buying large only makes sense if you're splitting it or selling decants to defray the cost. or if you love something and wear it all the time and know you'll use it up.

>>12017752
i bought the 3.4 awhile back and used it up in a little over a year so i figured i would look into the 5 fl oz one.

so it's just for the extra sales? it's not less potent or anything?

>>12017577
None at all? Even in some of the biggest third-world shitholes perfume is considered an acceptable luxury.

It's the same as with clothes where you want to dress appropriate for your age and occasion. Translated to fragrance that means don't wear club scents to classes and avoid "grampa" scents. The rest is your personal preference and style.

>>12017771
of course it's for sales

I only really wanted the Live Jazz, but the guy threw his other bottles in and I felt it was more than fair. I ended up loving the 212 Men and SFpH so I feel like I came out a winner there.

>>12014648
No spreadsheet, but a couple of note docs. One has a list of everything I've sampled/tried, arranged in order of how much I liked it, with a few sentences/thoughts on each. Sometimes I move them up or down and add additional thoughts as my taste changes. They're divided into like 7-8 groups or tiers which correspond to the boxes/bags I have the actual samples in. Trying to explain those groups would expose my autism, but generally the top is things I want a bottle of, the bottom is things I hate, and overall the order reflects how likely I am to wear it again sometime soon.

So one doc kind of doubles as an inventory and ranking, so it's really easy to spot trends in what I like and dislike. The other doc has a list of frags I want to try, and at the top of that list is basically a warning of notes/accords I've noticed I dislike from all my prior sampling (cinnamon+rose bothers me, fuck fig, prominent honey is a warning sign, still trying to figure out in what situations/combinations violet makes me pukey, and why I hate grapefruit when I can pick it out but love frags where it's listed but imperceptible)

>>12018591
>cinnamon+rose bothers me
Both cinnamon and rose bother you individually, or the specific combination? Because where does one find a cinnamon-rose perfume?
For the former I'm with you re: cinnamon as a dominant note, but solid rose fragrances are essential in any hobbyist's library. Especially rose-ouds.
>fuck fig
Based on which perfumes? I love me some Caligna and some Philosykos.

>>12018275
Why does /frag/ bring out the autists?
How about the 2-liter bottle, then? It's usually the same price as a 20 ounce.

>>12018752
>Because where does one find a cinnamon-rose perfume?
Egoiste, mitsouko, tarocco, puredistance m, habit rouge... like the notes by themselves in the right perfume, combined I'm basically out immediately. No matter how well made the frag is, it's just not for me

>philosykos
Basically this was enough for me to realize I hate fig, ichnusa confirmed it and made me realize that I don't like green/fresh green frags

When not really fem, Luna Rossa (old I know) is fantastic after many years, but I've kind of grown out of it. Not very multidimensional, would like a more mature and complex alternative, any suggestions?(yeah I wore the sport variant...lol....)

>>12021162
I made that first post about VPH and I've been wearing it a lot latelyand it definitely has an interesting vibe. Don't get the casual businessman vibe but more of a douchy mischievous one, something it shares with AHS in my opinion. For that reason I think it's amazing as a going out fragrance even for the colder weather. It really cuts through musty smoke and alcohol smells for example at a bar or a concert venue. Recommended over Eau Fraiche, in my opinion Eau Fraiche is more of a 30+ year old italian woman who teaches elementary school's scent.

>>12021278
Well you can always cop some decants online of all frags and even ask around for free samples. Dior Homme Cologne, over here in my crappy country, has the same price per ml as VPH. But VPH is fine, although I'm not a fan. Welcome to the fragrance world, hope you enjoy your stay.

>>12022143

Avoid at the current price point. If you can find a good batch, then get one depending on the price. Read the thread next time anon, we've been through this.
Apparently there are similar frags but I haven't tried them: Avant Garde by Lanvin and Salvatore Ferragamo F Black or whatever.

Anyone got any opinions on pic related? It got a lot of hate when I posted it here a while ago for being "woody amber chemical swill" but I only detect any sort of syntheticness during the first minute or so. I'm too much of a pleb to discern notes but even though this is technically a fresh fruity scent there's something that makes it smell rich and distinguished that I've smelled in older men's colognes before. Worth noting that this is by far the strongest fragrance in my collection, and that girls have asked me what I'm wearing and tried to guess that it's an extremely expensive one, even though I got it for about $25 bucks for a 4.2 oz. As a pleb I highly recommend this one

>>12022852
golden boy by duetto parfums
tuscan leather by tom ford
godolphin by parfums de marly

or if you want cheap check out leather blend by davidoff or fahrenheit

>>12023460
Try some perfumes that are not known for being synthetic. Then try Chrome Legend again. This means it simply depends on your nose. For some people Allure Homme Sport has a very synthethic orange smell, for others not so much. What you perceive as synthetic ultimately boils down to where else you've smelled certain notes or things resembling certain notes.

>>12023863
>>12022852
Also Bvlgari Black for vanilla leather. And Valentino Uomo Intense for iris leather. And Bottega Veneta for vetiver patchouli leather. And depending on how spicy he wants his leather, you can get Bvlgari Man In Black that will drown anything and everything in spices while forgetting about leather almost completely.
Oh and something I have no idea if is good or not: Colonia Leather by Acqua Di Parma since I'm a sucker for their house.

I'm looking for a specific scent, I saw it posted either here or on /fit/ once, it's kind of a woody scent I think? The bottle looked like it was associated with cascadia or some sort of pine forest, was pretty wide and stout.

It's like getting late to the fragrance came is detrimental. apparently even VPH and spicebomb has changed.

My dad too, along with Cool Water.

its all i need atm

Sycomore is too similar to Encre Noire, so get the latter for a great bargain on a great vetiver.

And if you don't mind blind buying, swap out Tuscan leather for La Yuqawam online. Smells identical, besides a slightly more pronounced raspberry note.

What is a good deodorant and perfume for a male that has no clue what to get?

>>12023909
Your list is just fine, mate, nothing "pleb" about the fragrances you listed (other than Fahrenheit's performance being shitty, thus my Bvlgari Black suggestion for designer leather).
Just keep in mind Tuscan Leather is supposedly very close to La Yuqawam but I wouldn't know since I haven't sampled either of them as of yet, so I believe it's a rare case of get one over the other.

>>12024214
Try them both and then decide. I don't think many people will note the difference between them, if that is your worry, so it's very much up to you.

>>12024292
I've tried it only once in a mouillette, didn't like it and moved on; will try again today and bring some impressions on skin.

>>12024576
Reformulations happen, specially with the stupid regulations by the EU and that other useless perfumery organization whose name I forget.
Go and try the stuff. If it now has shitty performance, go ahead and try stuff similar to it. Otherwise, don't fret over missing mysore sandalwood notes and other "true ingredients", since you've probably never smelled it before. Enjoy what you get now with designer frags and then delve into the niche world. You have my permission to do so, anon, so let go of the reformulation fear.
If spicebomb really has been reformulated and you don't like it, give Bvlgari Man In Black a try. If VPH has been reformulated, give Allure Sport a try (or any of the many other citrics).

>>12024835
Well I did say I had never smelled it, is it really not worth a cop at all?
>>12025014
Sauvage if you can stand it. Aventus if you got the money. Individuel if you like raspberry chocolate. Allure Homme Sport Extreme if you like creamy oceans and stuff. Whatever else Jeremy Fragrance has in his top list, and you'll be fine.
Unscented deo, like Arm and Hammer.

>>12025065
Is unscented better?

>>12025159
unscented deo helps you out with other scents. If you use a smelly showergel or soap or something and layer on a fragrance, it'll clash and be messy.
Unscented Deo makes it so that your scent isn't fighting with anything.

Tried his, got at least 4 compliments my first day

My mother recently gave me an old bottle of Marbert Man eau de cologne that belonged to my dad, and said it was her favourite scent. Is it effay enough to be worth wearing it? Feel like it's a bit too masculine for an 18 year old going for a plain twinkish look.

Also, opinions on Hugo Man, got it for Sinterklaas yesterday.

>>12025046
Yeah, the magazine had that one and the original, I wasn't really feeling the original. Thanks!

>>12023866
Any recommendations for a non-synthetic Apple/Tea combo? I'm sure what most people are thinking is synthetic is the apple note in the top

>>12025252
Try it on your skin before deciding. I had a similar reaction when smelling ysl homme vs homme intense in a magazine. Preference flipped once getting my hands on actual samples.

DHP or DHI

>>12025766
Valentino Uomo Intense

>>12022483
Marginally different from the EDT. Most people won't notice a difference. It is perhaps slightly "richer" than the EDT, as in maybe a touch sweeter and creamier. Lasts a little bit longer than the EDT version as well, projection isn't really enhanced at all.

Opinions on the house of Lalique?

>>12025014
If you don't have much idea try some fresh stuff like Versace Pour Homme. It's pretty safe, nobody is going to dislike it.

>>12025250
Test it a bit, if it feels too masculine for you then wait a couple years.

love it

>>12017452
Maybe it's cause I'm young but I've never smelled anyone else with it

anyone here use coolwater? Seems like a possible good spring/summer scent

>>12001936

DELET THESE

>>12023971
Go for Encre Noire Sport instead of the original, especially if you're already planning on buying Sycomore.

The sport version is much more interesting and wearable, in my opinion.

Anyone have any recommendations for parfum extraits or eau de parfum that resembles YSL black opium nuit blance? Fuck that watered down, 30min lasting shit, I want something that'll be strong and go the distance.

Going to the mall and going to get a heckton of samples if I can, going to see which make the cut.

fragrancenet 30% off rn

>>12022833
Funny, I get incredible longevity with it.

>>12027281
>fragrancenet
can you trust the online sites? I've read such mixed reviews on fragrancenet and the rest

>>12022852
Seconding TL and LYpH, which I actually prefer to TL, and adding Bandit, Bel Ami, Knize Ten and the original Gucci pH if you can find it. And for the holy trinity of affordable tea, leather & vanilla, from dry to sweet: Bulgari Black, 360º Black fM & Midnight in Paris.

I'm dying to try Cuir de Russie.

>>12027281
They always have this shit. I've gotten two coupons in the mail for them just last month.

Favorite frags featuring anise/licorice? For some reason I find the note so comforting and nostalgic.

>>12027567
Au Masculin is the only one I've tried

>>12027317
Ive never had any issues with fragrancenet, but if im buying an expensive scent I opt for a retail purchase.

>>12025159
Eyup, much better than blending deo smell with fragrances. If you're only wearing the deodorant, then go for scented stuff.
Also, don't wear frags in the gym. All you need is deodorant, preferably the unscented ones but the mild citric scented ones are fine as well. If you really want to then take your shower after working out and only then put on a frag.

>>12025530
No idea for the apple part but Bvlgari Pour Homme Extreme is always a good tea suggestion.
I've tried this piece once: http://www(.)fragrantica(.)com/perfume/Benetton/United-Dreams-Live-Free-26006.html
But I don't remember detecting the green apple in it, imagine that.
Luckily this is available at every corner here so I'll just have to try it again.

>>12028043
Ah, correction: I tried the man's one, that's why.

does anybody have any experience mixing your own MOLECULE 01 with alcohol and Iso E Super?

>>12008329
>cucumber
Wall Street by Bond no. 9 is a great cucumber scent

>>12028275
You're better off buying diluted Iso E Super from eBay, there's a seller who gives you a greater concentration of the stuff at a much lower price than Ecsentric Molecules. I've tried both and honestly eBay >> Molecule 01
