>>12149982
Who needs a chart when you have sauvage?

>>12149982
Dunno about charts but plenty of youtubers have vids on top compliment getters

reminder chypre is the best frag family

>>12150503
Was. Chypre is hamstrung as a category due to restrictions on oakmoss. Thanks European Union.

>>12150560
probably a bottle of odeur 53 next paycheck. might pick up that Heritage sample set Creed has up right now, as well.

>>12150599
i like 53 like 3 hours into the drydown, before that i find it on the wrong side of pleasant.

>>12150609
it took me a while to get used to the super-synthetic top notes, but after a few days of wearing the sample i was addicted. something about it's super-synthetic base is captivating to me.

I have CDG 2 Man on order. Hope to buy a bottle of OP image at the end of the month.

For Summer I have Allure Homme Sport, Bleu De Chanel, Dior Sauvage, Cool Water and Nautica Voyage. What essentials am I missing?

>>12150617
great pickup, i'll always swear by the OG 2 but Man is sublime.

>>12150633
Something not generic

>>12150634
Do the bottles come with a stand or do you just leave them lying flat?

>>12150560
once my 25ml of CdG2 runs out I'm gonna cop a bigger bottle, probably 50ml
I love it so much, definitely my daily wear for the foreseeable future
also gonna cop some creed samples to see what all the hype is about

>>12151240
leave them lying flat

>>12151240
As a collector whose shelf space is tight, this bottle design makes it much less likely I'll ever buy them. Luckily I haven't found any FBW.

how long would a bottle of blue de channel last?

4x spray a day on average

>>12149982
Women are pretty basic when it comes to scents, you don't need a $500 fragrance to make them think you smell good.

>Favourite fragrance is D&G light blue pour homme
>Wears off before I've even left the house

Whats something similar but an upgrade, /fa/?

Aqva Marina Monotheme

>>12151436
damn, good price. Thanks

flat, i have plenty of room so it's so issue. i'm pretty sure the only bottles that come with a stand are the 100ml.

>>12150634
I could search up the differences people say, but what are your thoughts on 2 vs. 2 MAN?

>>12151574
In general, I find the deeper level of complexity in 2 more interesting than MAN. 2 has that incredible ink note settled in with various spices, where MAN seems to stop at incense and woodier notes. For me, MAN just comes off as much more reserved than 2. Also, I tend to dress on the metrosexual side, so 2's feminine aspects suit me. MAN is fantastic, but 2 draws me in much more.

>>12151585
2MAN is more masculine and smells less floral
i prefer 2 but MAN is nice if you prefer masculine scents over slightly feminine ones
also 2 has this metallic ink note that gives it a unique sharpness that MAN doesn't have

>>12151597
replied to the wrong post, meant for >>12151574

i've had milk farts that lasted longer than la nuit

>>12151407
Besides the number of sprays that also depends on the size of the bottle and the intensity of the spray. I'd say a 50ml would last you around 3 months assuming you use 4 full sprays every single day.

>>12152043
thanks. I guess I could stretch that to 6 months

Can anyone suggest a cheaper alternative to BdC?

looking for some recs guys.
male. let's say i have £100 to spend. looking for an everyday fragrance.
my dad wears chanel antaeus which i like, but i want something slightly more... exotic? that's probably not the right word. something woody and dark, but with something more to it.
i've been looking at CDG 2 and Kyoto, as well as Chanel Bleu. i haven't had the chance to smell any of these, but hopefully i'll get to soon. any of you have experience with these, and would you recommend them, or something else?

>>12152043

Just bought BdC for £29 on ebay. Has 90% left in it.

Hopefully it's good.

Thinking about buying 2 scents. One for fall/winter and one for the coming spring/summer. Any opinions on L'Occitane Eau Des Baux as a fall/winter and Versace Eros as a spring/summer scent?

These will be my first purchases, so I'm also wondering..does cologne ever expire? I know that I should keep them out of the sunlight, but is there anything else I should keep in mind?

For spring/summer I'm looking for mint, lemon, green, something fresh.

What's a good fragrance for an 18 year old to elicit the "I want to bury my head in your chest and smell you" response in people? Preferably something on the cheaper side (all though I can spend a bit over $100 for sure) and is maybe not something most people would recognize

>>12153082
eau des baux is a fine choice, burberry london is as well.

no opinion on eros.

if the cologne's in a spray bottle, and you keep it out of the sun and out of the heat, it'll last 20+ years. keep it in a drawer or cabinet and you have nothing to worry about.

>>12150612
i wish they still produced their synthetic line. i want to try them allllll.

I've been complimented a lot wearing 1 Million, but I think it smells best a few days after you spray it on a jacket or sweatshirt.

>>12153082
Nonono eros is not a summer scent. Eros is a clubbing scent and nothing else.
Are you sure you didn't mean Versace pour homme? That's a gorgeous summer scent

>>12153111
La nuit. But it has shit longevity so keep that in mind.

>>12153258
roja dove, mdci

>>12153273
Yeah, a lot of their stuff is opulent as fuck and really masculine.
I like Journey Man, really warm and spicy with good depth.
Opus VII is another I like, very strong dark oriental smell. Definitely does not smell cheap.

Look up some reviews and possibly try to get your hands on some samples.

>>12151407
The average atomizer doses ~0.1ml/spray. You can do the math from there.

can we please stop discussing designer frags

whats your niche favorite

>>12153394
is CDG niche? if so, 2 is my favorite.

If not, I really love a scent called Past Presence from Roads, great black tea/jasmine scent. A bit lacking on longevity but it has great projection and smells fantastic.

>>12153258
Any Creed, Tom Ford or Guerlain

Also Amouage like the other anon said

Thoughts on mugler cologne

>maybe not something most people would recognize

>>12153204
Would Pour Homme also be fine to use for spring? Reading up on it, it does seem to have a lot of the qualities I want for a spring/summer scent minus the mint. Anything similar to it that has mint qualities as well?

Just copped a shit ton of samples

I am so excited boys

Any minty, woody, lemony stuff for spring and summer around the $50 range? Looking at Versace pour homme, but I want something a little less generic.

If I want people to smell it more, do I spray it on my skin or my clothes?

just be careful with overspraying. a lot of amouage are really powerful

That would make a 50ml last nearly a year (2spray a day), seems wrong

So spring is coming up and looking for a compliment getter scent.

Sauvage
Dior Homme Sport

are the two I'm thinking of getting. Leaning on finally biting the bullet and blind buying Sauvage since apparently girls find it irresistible and stories of girls just randomly coming up to guys and complimenting them for wearing. And Dior Homme Sport because I'm a fan of the fragrance line and I sampled it at Macys and thought it was great.

Fragrances I own :
Acqua Di Gio Profumo- Sig scent (I like the bad boy vibe)
Tuscan Leather
Dior Homme Intense
Dior Homme Parfum
Tres Nuit Armaf
Armani Code Profumo
Divin Enfant
Lacoste White
Terra d Hermes Gentiane

>>12154316
>Acqua Di Gio Profumo- Sig scent (I like the bad boy vibe)
kek, i ordered only a 5 ml vial sample being the jew, i'm not a fan of it to say the least, it went right into the toilet, where i'll be able to use it as an air freshener probably

fuck you Jeremy

>>12154431
I love it and works great on my skin. It's the only scent I get complimented on by girls all the time. I hate to use the term "panty dropper" , but this really really works. (the other being Tres Nuit but I'm embarrassed by all the compliments because it's such a cheap fragrance).

Also I don't like jeremy and don't listen to him all the scents I own is from my own research and sampling.

Is it just me or does Rose 31 by Le Labo along with VIW by Creed have the worst longevity of any aftershave?

Can anyone recommend me a nice spring summer scent along the lines of what I've just mentioned that actually last on your skin?

Would anyone rec Amouage Dia Man?

Price range isnt really an issue.

23/M

Thanks.

Currently wearing left, want to know about right.

>>12154486
My friend had fuel for life and wore it on a night out drinking once. Hes quite a shy guy and got a couple of compliments from it, he was quite overwhelmed from that experience. Smelt nice and lasted a while, projection must have been okay too I guess... hence the compliments.

Only issue I have with it is that its widely available (In the UK anyway) and this puts me off because im a massive hipster and want to smell like a special snowflake. However, if you don't mind other people possibly having it on around you id go for it.

>>12154504
I will have to try it then. I saw someone saying it looked like something from Mad Max, but smelled better.

>>12154477

And my opinion is NO. I myself enjoy the fragrance for myself, but I never get complimented on it. Also after 4 hours of wear, he gives a weird scent in the air that makes me nausea. I usually have to go to the bathroom at the 4 hour mark to puke a little and wash it off. I only wear it because I paid 300 bucks for the bottle.

So I've worn these 3-4 times now and for the first time an Aventus alternative has made me forget that I wasn't actually wearing Creed. PV Noir wears very similarly to Aventus, the only issue being that you need to double tap the sprayer to match the fire hose Creed nozzle. As long as similar amounts are applied, it's a great clone. Right up there with La Yuqawam as the only clone fragrance that I can recommend without reservation. If I ever run out of Aventus I honestly won't feel the need to replace the bottle as long as I can still buy Pineapple Vintage. Do I wish it were even cheaper than $1.05/ml? Of course, but it beats $2/ml or more for gray market Creed tester bottles.

>>12154684
Have you ever layered them? I've wanted to do tuscaventus for a while but I'm not sure what's the best way

How's this? I have dior man intense, is it too similar^?

Is Pour Monsieur a safe fragrance to blind-buy? For reference, I very much like Egoiste and Antaeus, so in my mind Chanel can really do no wrong and rounding out my Chanel collection would be nice.

I think people exaggerate how many compliments they get from scents. It's normal to only get one compliment per every couple of times you wear a fragrance
Not to mention it depends heavily on your everyday life. If you're round lots of people and interacting with them all day you're gonna get more compliments than somebody who works in an office cubicle

I bought BdC from a 2011 batch, it smells ok but there's this horrible, stomach-churning aftersmell right at the end of a whiff that smells like burnt something.

Is it just me, or has it gone bad?
And the projection seems terrible, I used 2 sprays behind my ear and I could barely smell it 2 hours later.

What unscented deodorant do you all wear?

I tried Crystal but it doesn't work very well, and I hate having to rub for 30+ seconds

Doing it wrong with the crystal. I have a physical job and never stink even after a full 8 hour day. Been using it for ten years.
Moisten the rock lightly before applying. Use deodorant bath soap if you need to clean out the pits extra thoroughly. It may take a few days for your pit chemistry to regulate.

Any opinions on Tobacco Vanille? I see that some people love it and some people that simply reduce it to "a cigar + some vanilla extract."

>>12162129
It's really fantastic. One of the best in the private blend line.

Incredibly deep, rich tobacco note with a kind of naturally sweet dried fruit note that some tobacco has.
Obviously, vanilla - sweet but not at all artificially so. Smells very natural.

Lasts for a freakishly long time and floats around you very nicely. I apply one spray to the back of my neck and sometimes even that feels like too much.

i couldn't figure this out for a long time. so i've been going through the notes on a few hundred fragrances i've tried and trying to pick out what notes or accords bother me. turns out? carnation. either by itself or the combination of carnation/vetiver, or carnation/rose, or carnation/tobacco, or carnation/geranium.

sharing for no reason in particular.

also? hate elemi.

also? almond, benzoin, heliotrope, and certain teas all have a similar smell or shape in them that ruins fragrances for me unless they're blended waaaaaaay in the background.

feel the same way about iris, orris root, and violet. in some perfumes they make me vaguely pukey, but i still have a lot of analysis to do before making blanket statements.

>>12161788
If you want to smell like a 38 year old yes. I wear it.

has anyone tried the black orchid roller? i love the smell but it's just too fucking strong. one spray is too much. i want to wear it quietly.

If you don't like something for the first 2 hours, but love it after that, do you buy it and then just not leave your house until it smells good? Or do you only buy things you like from start to finish.

>>12161311
Absolutely not. CDNI is an excellent copy. Compared hand in hand there are some minor differences but i dont think that anybody walking by you could tell.

>>12163331
How the fuck do you not get olfactory fatigue after the first 30 minutes or so?

>>12163552
>minor differences
There is such a huge difference in quality that use positive reviews of CDNI as a test of a reviewer's tastes. If someone praises it as a good clone I know to automatically discount the rest of their opinions as well.

CDNI has a cheap, harsh lemon opening. It has zero pineapple. The two only smell similar from the sprayer and that's after drying. I find that most people who praise CDNI don't own Aventus themselves and most likely aren't doing a live A-B comparison. I own every clone and cousin of Aventus except for L'Aventure, and I have a hard time believing that anyone who owns bottles of both would ever subject themselves to the foulness that is the Armaf.

CDNI is synthetic as fuck

which is good because i pretty much forgot about my order and copped a bottle of 2 after finding it on sale
what's you guys' opinions on copper skies? from first smell I really don't like it but googling it, i get a few youtube vids that say it's a 5/5 scent lol
and I almost wish I hadn't ordered a sample of CdG black, i thought i wouldn't like it but now i've smelled it I'm in love with it, I want to buy a bottle but i really shouldn't

No, you smell like cleaning products to other people like you who associate citrus smells with cleaning products.

There are a million different citrus fragrances and a million different cleaning products and there are companies who develop smells for both using the same molecules so there's bound to be some overlap.

People associate citrus with fresh and cleanliness, hence their use in cleaners.

>Either you dislike what i dislike or you're wrong.
You can discount what you like mate, I don't really care, that won't change the fact that you are deluding. CDNI doesn't have a lemon opening, there's a lemon note for sure, but it starts mainly with birch and smoke. To say that it's a harsh lemon opening you have to be senseless or you talking about Jardin Sur Le Nil. Second thing is that the fact that CDNI doesn't have pineapple doesn't mean shit really (that's the part where I realized you don't really know what you are talking about) because good clone isn't a fragrance that mindlessly copies every note in same proportions, because that still could be a shit fragrance, if you for example don't know what was the maceration time of the particular notes in original. A good clone is a fragrance that evokes smell and the feeling of the original. How may times you thought a perfume contained some particular note but it didn't? You could achieve more or less same feeling using different notes, and that's exactly what CDNI does. It just isn't a mindless copy, it's a reinterpretation of the OG, and hell of a good one. The idea behind Aventus is that you have a plate of fresh juicy fruits with birch syrup in a smokey room (my take on it at least). And that's what Armaf recreated and it did well. To be more precise: Armaf starts up as a bolder and smokier fragrance. Aventus is more fruity, but even different batches of it were either more smokey ore more fruity so it's not like it's a big deal. If it comes to the most important part - the drydown, they are really similar. And if you use fragrances to wear them, not contemplate them, and you wanna save a buck, CDNI is a way to go. There's one bigger difference later on as it doesn't evolve as Aventus does, but again - it's not a big deal. It's a casual/clubbing fragrance after all. If it's a huge difference to you that's ok, but imo you are just trying to have some edgy opinions.

>>12163331
You could rub it to fast forward to the base notes, or at least the middle notes. I'd wait until I found something I liked all the way through, though. Lots of fragrances have nice base notes, some of them are bound to have good top notes too.

if i start wearing perfume, can i stop showering?

i'm looking for a fragrance that smells chill like this video. what would you suggest?

https://youtu.be/AhBUIeHnDkc

>>12154477
Dia Man is quite nice, although it's a tad old man-ish. think of a very graceful old man though

>>12163962
flowerbomb will allow you to blend with all the other sheep so choose that.

>>12164683
it surely is overpriced

>>12164902
tell us more about yourself, you could associate half of existing fragrances to this video. Did you own anything before?

>>12165722
the old man vibe will leave you when you pass the age of 24 ,Dia Man is not as musky as Gold Man and actually all women like it, (not girls, if you want to attract 16 year olds wear 1 million and Dior sauvage)

Can anyone please rec a scent or two, based on the following?

>27
>male
>single
>'artsy,' love music / reading / photography
>like being out in nature
>like nature-inspired scents (woodsy, earthy, etc) but also stuff that has a fresh vibe to it, maybe a mix of the two
>don't want anything overpowering, wouldn't match my personality, but do want something that projects well enough for others to smell and maybe compliment
>it's Winter now, so maybe something that goes well for the season but also for Spring since that'll be approaching quickly
>max I'd pay is $50

Does anything fit the bill of that? I've read things suggesting you get scents that match your personality. Since I'm more quiet and inwardly focused, I'm wondering what would match that.

>>12166540

So with spring approaching, what's everyone's favorite fragrance for the spring time?

>>12166540
Way out of you're price range but isle Ryder by DS & Durga is exactly what's you're looking for. Pretty much an olfactory reconstruction of the British countryside, at least get a decant.

Rocky mountain wood is a good choice. Check Kenzo PH as well - realistic vegetal/oceanic smell that suits pretty much every ocasion in every season. And not that popular nowdays so you will stand out. You described yourself more or less exactly as I would do and Kenzo is my second skin.

Night time, fun, dark.

Great projection. Closest thing I can compare it to is Endymion (not the concentre one)

>>12167227
Of the private blends it's one that personally doesn't do much for me.

But, that's what I love so much about fragrance - it's so individual and if you love something then trust your nose and wear it. It's definitely quality, but whether or not it's worth the money is up to you.

>>12167227
Didn't think much of it on the strip (black orchid and plum japonais impressed me more that day), but I should go back and test on skin. I'd love a coffee rose, but that didn't seem to give me enough of either. I basically want Tuscan leather with the leather and raspberry replaced with those two instead.

Looking for some recommendations.19 male with an ~80 dollar price range looking for an everyday fragrance to wear to school. I don't have a lot of experience with fragrances so I don't have any likes or dislikes when it comes to specific scents. I'd mostly be wearing this during the winter and early spring. I'm not trying to project any specific style or aura I'm just interested in smelling better but I'd prefer something relatively light I wouldn't want the whole room smelling me when I walk in.

>>12168400
Yeah I'll probably get myself a 30ml decant of it for summer.

I need to try plum japonias too, really want a fruity/floral scent that will stay on my skin. I never get good longevity from those types of scent.

>>12168516
there are a million things i could tell you to wear. but i think you should try Body Kouros. it's not loud, you can wear it year round, and you won't smell like anyone else.

Try Encre Noir Sport. Goes for around $25-$30 USD.

Anyone ever tried or know where to get an arabic cologne called Mist? Heard of it recently but can't track it down

Went to John Lewis today to test some Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club but they didn't have any. Desperate to try it but John Lewis is the only place near me that would sell it. Don't want to blind buy it either. I just want to smell it and see if it's worth the cop

>>12149905
>Always stuck with old spice Fiji or Adidas moves him.

They smell good and the womyn loves them.

Eau Sauvage is the best Dior

What's the budget version of Tom Ford Noir?

>>12152807
fresh serious masculine presence. Perhaps Terre de hermes. I am very much an amateur when it comes to perfume but I just tried some samples of these which you may like: Tauer desert marcoain, tauer lonestar memories.

>>12153394
slumberhouse norne. Borderline wearable I guess. I love it but i don't feel quite comfortable wearing it in public. To be fair though I have never worn perfume before so I probably just need to get used to the idea and how to apply it well


I tried a sample of CB Tea/Rose and it smelled really really nice. Unfortunately it also has very poor performance because his stuff is water based.

I tend to like very woody and not too sweet fragrances. Haven't tried much tea stuff but after smelling tea/rose I feel like I would like it.

Any recommendations on fragrances similar to tea/rose or just some nice woody tea scents in general?

>>12170819
That, followed by either Leather Oud or Bois d'Argent
But also not forgetting the legendary seminal fragrance that was Diorissimo by Roudnitska

>>12170819
feve deliceuse is nice if you count their exclusive line, but yeah, eau sauvage is one of the most iconic men's frags ever made

>>12168612
Plum Japonais in my all time top 3. May even be the favourite next to Oud Ispahan.

Wore it on the first date with my now girlfriend of 10 months and she's later told me she was taken aback by how good i smelled and found it difficult to concentrate. Godly stuff.

>>12171632
thats literally the one i had in mind, just was wondering if there werent any other suggestions maybe

ill probably buy a decant or something if those exists i might just buy the set too

How many sprays do you anons do? I usually go two on wrists, two to three on neck/chest, one-two into hands on splash on cheeks.

Also opinions on Pasha de Cartier? I tried some this weekend and really liked it, the wife says she likes it too, but it reminds her of her grandad. Will I smell like old man?

>>12163962
It's only fair that you like how you smell. Try before you buy, perfumes behave differently on different people so do the whole sephora sample thing if you're still trying to figure out what you enjoy. Issey Miyake has a good range of light, age-appropriate daytime scents to start off with.

>>12172936
The kurkdjian male traveler/sample pack (and honestly samps of everything else from the house; I'm a kurk fan), and something for spring. Trying to decide between vetiver tonka, bal d'afrique, and guerlain homme. Open to more suggestions as long as they have delicious openings like those.

What's on your wishlist?

>>12173069
I'd suggest bal d'afrique of the three myself.
My wishlist currently contain Bvlgari's Man In Black, Armani Code Profumo, Angel Men, Dior Homme, Dior Homme Parfum and Dior Sauvage.
Really boring sounding wishlist I know.
Only 4 or 5 months into frag buying and am just having fun buying scents that Im interested in, perform well and are well suited to my lifestyle.

Looking for minty, fresh and inviting scents for spring time. Weather here in B.C. starts to be quite rainy on some days and quite hot on others in the spring.
I am first year college aged, go on dates usually rather than clubbing and would like something to get that can't stop smelling you effect, any average joe compliment getter with mint.

Currently have some cheap end frags like Sauvage, Guess Man, and D&G Light Blue.
Sauvage is honestly my favourite and Light Blue is nice on warmer days currently but smells a little cold and sharp to me.


These are looking to be in the right direction and I was wondering you guy' opinions and also if you have suggestions for me.

Really nice. Smells like a fresh apple (not sweet). Gives me More of a surfer vibe than a boat But I can imagine both. Got a little boring when I wore it consistently. I prefer it for spring than summer.

>>12171681

>>12174528
Damn I really hoped no one caught that, fuck.
Kind of a synthetic version of jean Paul. I'd call it root beer extreme but it's wearable and good for 8 bucks.

>>12174569
>>12171808
>>12171780
I've only every gotten compliments, and my wife would definitely tell me if I did reek.

That being said, is this universal? I mean the strongest thing I won is probably that Paco Rabanne One Million one, which I rarely wear anymore, but for that, I'd probably only do 2 or so. All my others seem to die down a lot after my morning train in to work. If I just do 1 spray, I doubt I'd even smell it at all.

Top scents: terre d'hermes (strong, but gets the most compliments), nuit d'issey, colonia essenza

As someone who owns all three Dior frags you mentioned, I think they are each worthy of purchase and are all great for completely different reasons
>Sauvage
Highly complimented, liked and versatile fragrance for any occasion or season
>Dior Homme
A classic fragrance, and an easily wearable scent. Dior Homme is similar to Dior Homme Parfum in that the lipstick/makeup bag vibe is definitely present, as well as a heavy Iris note. Dior Homme, much like Sauvage, can be worn in any occasion and just about all seasons. Great date fragrance also.
>Dior Homme Parfum
This is my favorite fragrance from those that I own. Dior took everything I loved from Dior Homme and turned it into an amazing night scent. I don't need to say anything else, you know why you like it.

out of ur price range but honestly you sound like the exact type of person who would enjoy CdG fragrances
try 2, Floriental and AmazingGreen, they might change ur mind on the $50 limit and they sound like a good match for you, especially amazinggreen
also it's a bit of a placebo with CdG because the fragrances seem to smell better when they come from an artsy, edgy house, I know this, I've fallen pray to the same marketing but it's w/e I love the fragrances too much to care

What frag should I wear?
I have:
Memoir Man
Neroli Portofino
Santal Royal
Fat Electrician
Noir de Noir
Bleu de Channel
24 gold
Virgin island water
Colonia Oud
Terre D'Hermes

Sampled D&G The one EdP and I quite like it, but I'm a bit worried abot its performance. Can anyone tell me how long it lasts/how many applications you put on? Also kinda interested in Dior Homme Intense, is the sillage and duration as great as fragrantica reviews suggest?

>>12180254
It has been longevity than the EDT, but it feels like a crapshoot sometimes.

It'll last a long time some days and not so long others.

>>12180232
Hermes is usually good for professional situations. If they recognise it by name, it might have some subtle priming effect due to the popularity of hermes ties with upper management.

Basically you want citrus, which implies cleanliness and freshness, and not too much else. Grass or wood rather than musk or leather. Eau de toilette rather than eau de parfum, they should smell it within handshake distance but not be consciously aware of it from the other side of a desk.

sephora will give you a sample of this, unless u have money to blow and dont care

>>12179410
i only bought 10ml so we'll see, i really have no idea what to expect

>>12180373
Do you know if it's vintage or the 2013 version? It's not bad by any means, it's just not what I expecting. I think the cult status is more about its inventive construction and subsequent discontinuation than anything else.

>>12180232
I'd have to say bdc. Bdc both edt and edp are the quintessential work scent. Good longevity and just enough sillage to get noticed when standing close

Regardless of what you choose, do NOT overspray. That will be your downfall

I'm buying a batch of samples to try out soon. Need a few more ideas. Give me any suggestions that aren't brought up in every thread (Aventus, ADG Profumo, Encre Noire, etc.) for a 25 year old guy.

>>12181124
How many sprays do you recommend? I go 3-4 with the edp

>>12181253

Okay thanks, if I told you my interview panel was 2 women would that change your suggestions?

Performance is lacking in comparison to the rest of the Dior Homme line imo.

>>12181692
Two women? Buy some aventus bro!!!! Drop them healthcare pantiessssss!!!!

Has anyone ever used perfumista.co.uk for samples? I feel like when my scents arrive they dont smell exactly how they should & last a fraction of the time they're supposed too.

>>12181692
Women are more accepting of stronger fragrances, while men see them as challenges, kind of like wearing brighter colours than them.

Healthcare auditing is not particularly cutthroat or sexy, so go safe, clean, classic, and discreet.
Citruses, woods, and leafy smells, nothing too musky or sexy.

>>12182159
This is an ignorant attitude from someone who doesn't know that male fragrances have their roots in hygiene. Men started taking baths, then started adding scents to the baths, leading eventually to body splashes and aftershaves, and finally to modern fragrances.

So in other words, a simple citrus fragrance is absolutely appropriate, and in keeping with the tradition of male hygiene. You may as well tell him not to wash his face.

>>12182535

Frags in an interview are fine as long as they're minimal/subtle. Plus they give the wearer a confidence boost, which always helps.

you dont have the job yet you retard. why would you jeopardize your chances by wearing cologne when the person who might be interviewing it might be sensitive or have a strict rule against it? shut the fuck up.

>>12183307
This guy's rude, but it's the right advice for an interview. An aftershave or cologne splash is fine if it's part of your morning routine, as long as it's at least a couple hours before the interview and only a skin scent by then. While your fragrance might be inoffensive or even pleasant, it won't get you the job; it may actually come off as desperate, or an example of poor decision making. As far as physical appearance, just be clean, well dressed in tailored clothes that fit, and well groomed. Save the fragrances until you have the job. And invest in some work fragrances for christ's sake.

If you have to use anything, one spray of neroli or terre on your right wrist will greet them when you shake hands. Spray at least an hour before the interview. Personally, I'd spray at least two hours before.

So there's a bunch of essential oils online that cost a shit load (like $35 for 15ml)

But then there's this that doesn't cost a lot and comes with a lot of selection https://www.amazon.ca/Art-Naturals-Top-Essential-Oils/dp/B01161IL20/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485460590&sr=8-1&keywords=essential+oils#Ask

Would these work for DIY cologne? If not, why not?

thanks in advance.

Nothing sad about buying fragrances for your own enjoyment.

Oh, the reason I mentioned those scent preferences is because I was hoping for recc's, forgot to actually write that though. Brit is okay but I dislike the other two.

I work at a library, but I fancy myself an eccentric.

It was an internal vacancy so I kind of knew the interviewers.

You're attitude is lovely though, I bet you're great at kids parties.

Cheers, I went for 1 spray of Memoir man though. I get really light/herbal notes from it and I think the interview went very well.

so you're the employee watching the security video of the guy jerking off while you jerk off?

Nice to hear. I like Memoir a lot. Good luck!
