Only own bvlari black, love it. Any recommendations for my next purchase ? Looking for something strange but enjoyable.

Looking for a sort of versatile 'signature' scent (won't be the only frag I wear but will be wearing it often)
I looove GIT but it does feel a tad mature for a 21 year old student. Is it?

Alright guys dilemma time

I'll buy All masculine Amouage and Montale fragrances + a couple others

On theperfumedcourt you can find the following:
Bleu de Chanel EDP
Coromandel EDP
Patchouli Imperial
Grey Vetiver
Homme Intense

On Luckyscent you cannot have the above, but you have all the Opus collection from Amouage, which TPC doesnt have. Not to mention that all Amouage and Montale products are currently 25% off right now.

So I can only make one order, where from?

>>12358500
Go with the Amouage + Montale. That stuff is pricey, the other stuff you can get any time.

Anyone try Luna Rossa Carbon yet? I've read it smells kinda like Sauvage. I own Extreme and I also thought the original Luna Rossa smelled pleasant.

>>12358010
kokorico maybe?

I'm looking for a frugal, daytime summer scent. While I'm considering something clean and citrus, I can't get my mind off of Givenchy's 'Pi'.

Anyone have luck wearing a scent against the grain of the season, so to speak?

>>12358816

I'm not a fan of Givenchy pi (smells like baby wipes to me) But go ahead. just be light on the sprays. It might not last all that long in the summer heat though

>>12358010
Check out A*Men. It has a tar note on the front end that I found offputting at first, but now consider it a masterpiece.

Encre Noir has an ink note and is well worth checking out.

Fahrenheit has a gasoline note, more prominent in older formulations.

Jour de Fête smells like really nice Pla-Doh to me.

Narciso Rodriguez for Him has a "concrete sidewalk after the rain" note.

>>12358523
Encre Noire Sport is a "woody aquatic" however I personally don't get any aquatic notes at all, but it does smell very floral. Starts off with a very green citrusy vibe that dries down to a green lavender. Reminds me sort of Grey Vetiver, except its darker and dirtier, more natural and masculine smelling. Amazing for spring and summer. If you've ever smelled the original Encre Noire it's like that but these citrus, green, and floral notes added.

>>12358816
My favorite summertime cheapies:

360º Red fM
4711*
Agua Lavanda*
Salvatore Ferragamo pH
Set Sail St. Barts fM

* very poor longevity for those, but they are cheap enough that you can reapply all day and not break the bank

What is the 'grandpa'y' oldish smell in scents?
I want to avoid it

>>12358523
Florals are a group that are underrepresented in my wardrobe, but I love:

Dior Homme and its flankers
GIT

>>12359234
For me, it is the mustier variety of lavender present in Caron's The Third Man and Pour un Homme. It is present in others, but I can't think of them now. Odd, because I love the fresher variety of lavender present in Rive Gauche pH or Agua Lavanda.

People's noses and their associations are unique, so be prepared for different answers.

Would testing Hot Water or Aramis Black in the spring be bad projection wise? Should I wait till say mid September for it?

>>12359234
The combination of "musk" and tonka bean.

>>12359268
>testing
To me, testing means at home, so who cares? In case you are talking about wearing them in public, I'm not familiar with either of those, but as long as you go easy on the trigger, you should be fine, but see below for fine print.

>>12358816
>>Anyone have luck wearing a scent against the grain of the season, so to speak?
And the above ties in with this question I forgot to address. Some of my favorite summer scents are Kouros, Guerlain Vetiver, Havana and TdH. Kouros especially flourishes in the heat, as it was originally marketed as a summer frag. That said, none of them are especially "thick," rich or cloying, which is a killer in the heat. I would avoid many Orientals for just that reason. Hell, the original Opium is dangerous with more than a couple sprays in winter!

On a side note, we can still use "Oriental" to describe *things* from the Far East (Orient=East) but it is un-PC to describe people from there as such. Strange...

>>12358589
Alright I'll order from LS I guess

Hello I'm a car mechanic, I want people to know I'm a car mechanic, what's a good fragrance for me

>>12359234
Iris, some lavender, some musk, tonka bean.

>>12359770

>>12361253

>>12361250
what do they smell like? honestly curious if there are regional hooker fragrances. would make an interesting read if someone did a global survey.

Looking for something similar to Bleu de Chanel, but woodier and less aquatic.

I like bottega veneta pour homme( perfect for me, but mostly works for fall/winter), Dior homme (a little too feminine to wear often), guerlain homme intense (the lime type note makes it slightly off putting), 2 man (when first sprayed. Turns into a piss/hamster cage smell after 5 minutes)

I've tried 100 plus fragrances and most have a hard time beating bleu since it's so agreeable. Any suggestions senpai?

>>12361400
You know, I really should document what the girls are wearing. Might be interesting. Only one I remember right now was a Bulgarian chick I saw yesterday was wearing Narcisso Rodriguez for Her.

>>12361431
ftw my sister wears cheap fucking perfumed water that costs like 20 bucks a bottle and it's a big bottle and it smells like fucking petrol candies and its gay

>>12361258
Yeah like Versace pour homme, Versace eros, farenheit. Gifts he gets mainly, although this was my first time buying him one

>>12361415
have you tried GIT

>>12361444
It's great, but a little too smooth for my own taste.

>>12361448
lalique white or hommage? Havent tested but they are cheap and reviews have made me want them.

Have you ever had a fragrance that no matter how many times you smell it, you can't decide if you like it or hate it?

For me I still can't tell if I like or hate the new Gucci Guilty

If you own this bottle:
Why is it so good? Describe the experience of wearing it and smelling it.

I get the feeling that people really over-egg the praise on Roja because they've spent so much on it and need to justify it to themselves.
Having said that, love the dude. Seems really cool and what I have smelled of his was good.

I recently got 20+ samples and I hated most of them but from the ones that I did like which do you think is the best?:
Dior Homme/Dior Homme Intense
D&G The One
Kenzo Jungle
Versace pour Homme
Dior Fahrenheit (I love the gasoline/pepper/citrus opening but the drydown smells really cheap and generic)

I know these are all quite different but i'm not looking for a specific kind of fragrance or a specific time of year.

what's the next step up from the La Nuit?

I feel like a fucking normie wearing this shit, despite how much grills like it.

>>12362219
ch men prive isn't really a popular fragrance. in the same genre as la nuit but doesn't really smell like it

>>12362226
thanks senpai

>>12362023

You cant go wrong with dior homme edt, you can wear it year round depending on where you live as it has just the right mix for all occasions.

DHI skews towards feminine because of the heavy iris note, but on a confident guy its irresistible. Lasts longer than the edt by miles

D&G the one is a beautiful frag, problem is its water. Even overspraying, this won't last more than a few hours. I've heard the edp has more longevity but haven't been able to try it as of yet.

VPH is a great choice for spring and summer for almost every occassion. Clean and fresh, this will outshine any other citrus every day of the week.

Fahrenheit has had its day. Like most powerhouses of the 80s/early 90s, its unfortunately outdated. The unique gasoline note it used to have has been toned down, meaning it's lost its essence. It's still interesting, but not worth copping a full bottle in my opinion.

Other recommendations:
Check out anything by Lalique, but especially white, encre noire, pour homme and homage. I cannot praise them enough. Niche quality for below designer prices. Usually long lasting and always beautiful.
Otherwise, try a few from the CdG range such as wonderwood, amazinggreen, 2, 2man, kyoto, avignon, etc. If you're especially bold, check out the odeur range
If all else fails, check out mass crowd pleasers like sauvage, BDC edt and edp, aventus or one of its many clones, etc.
Hope this helps

>>12362398

Smells like Aventus after a while. That said, I dislike this and I dislike Aventus.

>>12362537
there's nothing to be competent at when it comes to fragrances. There is no 'skill' involved, no technical mastery, no physical exertion, nothing. Are you saying you're good at identifying notes? That's about the only thing that requires any degree of 'competence' in fragrances. I bet you're an absolute loser who has no other hobbies and is good at literally nothing so pretends like his consumer hobby of smelling things is cool and masterful.

>>12358518
Looks like a bottle of expensive whisky.

>>12362545
not all tastes in frags are equal though. why do we shit so much on axe when it's really popular? you know.

>>12362307
Thanks, I'm guessing using the sample vial and actually spraying with atomizer would get different results but the The One EDP sample is actually performing better than most others so I so surprised to see poor performance in almost eery review.

I tried Lalique Encre noir, sport version and white and they all smell really good but not I wanna keep smelling my wrist good.

I guess it's between Dior Homme and The One.

>>12362545
look how mad this cuck who thinks a fragrance will get him laid is lmao

How many sprays of Spicebomb you guys use? Can't decide between 2 and 3

i sure love smelling like shitty soap thanks lumiere noire

>>12363348
I usually go 3 or more. If you're gonna wear a loud fragrance, might as well turn that shit up to 11.

>>12358523
Declaration d'Un Soir, if that's considered floral.

Trying to decide on a spring/summer citrus fragrance which doesn't project a whole lot but has a good longevity. Currently looking at VpH and HM by Hanae Mori. Any other suggestions?

My signature fragrance comes in a bottle sculpted from the skull of a Cambodian child, and can only be obtained by bringing 3 bottles of yak's milk and a pound of Limburger cheese to an old gypsy women who lives in the wilds of Romania, a 3 day hike through treacherous terrain from the nearest city.

It smells 95% similar to Aventus.

>>12363788
Yeah but does it cause instant nausea for anyone within a 3 foot radius, and cause melanoma after only brief exposure?

>>12363826
Friend, it causes permanent nausea for anyone in a 30 yard radius, and once you've smelled it, a little dead girl will begin appearing to you in your dreams.

>>12362398

I always wonder whether I'm spraying too much or little with. Can anyone give me a lead?

I just impulse bought this yesterday and I really like it. I had way too many fresh fragrances (Versace Pour Homme, Chrome, Chrome Legend, Acqua di Gio, Chanel AHS) and too many sweet douchy fragrances (Diesel Fuel For Life, FFL Denim, Invictus) and not a single one which blends the two worlds while simultaneously being classier than both. I sprayed it on me at the store and asked for a few girls opinions between this and either the Cologne or Sport version (cant remember which) and this won each time, a few even had their nose in my wrist for over 15 seconds, and one of them moaned "ohhhh this one makes me feel so good" so I think I did well here /frag/

Do you think I'd enjoy the original Dior Homme or DHI based on this? I wanted to try it originally but they didn't have it at the store.

>>12362398
OK I decided to wear this in public to help me decide if I like it or not. I decided don't like it but good fucking god do women adore it. I saw an old female friend and she said 'oh my God you smell amazing what is that?!' And dug her nose into my neck

>>12360390
YSL L'Homme.
Also, Burberry London.

>>12364175
I like this one I wish there was just a touch more iris. I've thought about layering it with some DH just to bring it out more. Good frag though.

>>12364175
Oh and to answer your question, probably. DH is more similar so try that one first.

Whats the best cheap girl fragrence? Something that is a little flowery or sweet but mostly subtle and relaxing. Just a cute fragrence. Thanks

How do I come to find my signature scent? Go with something I like for most situations? Sample loads and pick what I like best?

All I wear guerlain vetiver, is this acceptable? I want to have a singular scent, like a brand, over a long period of time. hopefully that makes sense.

Enjoy smelling like pure alcohol though

>>12365605
1. i can smell it, why else would i wear it then? it's literally stronger in terms of duration with slightly less sillage which is preferred
the top notes are IDENTICAL to real aventus with slightly worse base notes, but i'll take it
2. i don't care if anyone else can smell it, because i do it for myself, i don't fucking shower daily because i'm going to be out in public
3. fragrance oil has NO alcohol you fucking autist

>>12363500

Sorry bub. Those don't go hand in hand. That said, check out TdH Eau Très Fraîche and the Acqua di Parma line. If you want to mute projection, just don't spray on exposed skin, as in not covered by clothing.

>>12364017
Those counts seem pretty tame. I'd bump them all up by one or two, but I haven't tried Polo Red. Always better to err on the side of caution if going out in public. Best bet is to ask someone else, though.

>>12364175
I'm a big fan of the DH line and the first DHC is my favorite, with the original DH right behind it. If you like the richness of DHEfM, then you'll love DHI.

>>12365808
it's just the imitation creed aventus frag oil on amazon

they sell it in their biggest size @ 4oz for only $20

i also have their bleu de chanel, which isn't as accurate IMO (the incense note, but the citrus is good)

i just dab 3 on my neck

i don't put any on my chest or wrists because oils can stain clothes

>>12364956
Pretty much. I started out that way and now I have a shit ton of frags in the rotation. Careful.

>>12364985
All that matters is that you love it. It's a fine choice, as it is a true all-purpose frag, although might be a little too light for winter, unless you have a very tobacco dominant formulation. It's a summer favorite for me.

Copped today.

Also got to sample a few of the Roja Dove frags. Gonna need to get me a bottle of Enigma, I think. Scandal was nice too, basically a super-fougere, don't think I'd buy a full bottle though. Also got to try his signature parfum, the £2500 a bottle one, actually didn't like it that much compared to the other two. Definitely smelled quality, but just not really for me. Probably for the best, given the cost.

>>12364175

I tried this on in sephora and asked to take a sample home with me because i liked it so much. The drydown is nothing like DH/DHI in my opinion. The opening is very similar. I am not a big fan of DH/DHI

Thanks! Will give that a try and see how it goes

>>12361894
>>12366388
Good choices, did you get a chance to smell the vetiver parfum? Also for the signature, was the spray tester you sampled a faint yellow or an amber orange? When I was choosing between that or the concentrated musk aoud, the tester for the HL was more of a light yellow and had a pretty strong blast of violet (to me it smelled a lot like parma violet sweets) which I'm guessing is the alpha iso methyl ionone that is used to boost the florals. The actual bottle that I bought on the 6th floor of the department store had a darker juice, the violet/orris was much more toned down and the florals were less subdued. All in all its a love or hate floriental with a strong chypre element of the oakmoss thrown in there. The dry down for me is definitely the most addictive part, since I am usually very skeptical of brands that claim to use real ambergris and stuff like that, I compared the dry down to different synthetics such as ambroxan/cetalox/ambermax but it didn't hit the right facets for me, the "ambergris" note to me you can tell apart from the labdanum/vanilla/benzoin accord that is mostly responsible for the widely used amber note after about 12 hours when you really have to bury your nose against the skin. I am thinking of ordering three different grades of ambergris tinctures to see roughly what quality of ambergris he supposedly uses.

But to me its kind of sad that they might be using something thats not the actual perfume as a spray tester, or if they water it down and ramp up the ionone so they can use less of the rose, jasmine or orris. As for the floral notes, they project very strongly off of my skin, sometimes the jasmine is burying the rose, sometimes its the other way around. After about the 4th-6th hour, it goes from pleasant to very addictive with the dry down. The top note of bergamot and the molecularly fiddled oakmoss can be pleasant some days, other days they can come across as very bitter.

>>12361894
>>12366388

Also, I contacted the guy who bought the very first bottle of the stuff when it was released in 2013, he showed me a picture and his juice was the same colour as mine, so if anyone has bought the lighter yellow you might have been sold the tester instead. I bought mine mid 2016 so it would be from the 2015 batch, so as far as I know the formula has not been changed that much (except maybe the IFRA kerfuffle during 2014)

Anyways I feel like I have ranted about one perfume too much, sorry if it irritated anyone, but my only real tip is to get a sample of the real stuff and see if you like it, it might be a case of marmite to some degree and not like the orgy scene from the movie on the perfume murderer, but to me its the first floriental that I actually took a liking to for the most part, but over time unfortunately I think I like it too much, so I have to argue with my wallet if I even want to buy another bottle.

If anyone has any questions feel free, I will be honest about my answers. And I'm looking for a nice casual designer scent that can act like a pre IFRA mangle fougere or chypre.

>>12367387
>>12367409
I only tried Scandal, Enigma, and the signature Roja. The full-strength parfums of each. They were quite dark amber. They are also available in an EDP, maybe that was why the tester was lighter. The ones I tried were definitely not watered down.

This was at De Bijenkorf in Amsterdam, which is listed on his site as an official retailer.

>>12367513

Well the Roja tester was definitely heavier on the violet/orris for me, and much lighter than my 2015 batch and the 2013 juice. It's slightly confusing why this is because the RHL that I have seen before on videos of tours with the perfumes and even him showing it in his scent memories recently, the juice is a pale yellow colour. Which leads me to believe that maybe that you get a heavier concentration if you actually buy it with all the soft but heavy and heady rose and jasmine. As much as I love the house so far, its slightly misleading to offer a tester that does not have all the nuances that the more concentrated one you get when you commit to purchasing it, although I guess its understandable if all the ingredients are supposedly that difficult to acquire. The few synthetics he uses like the hydroxycitronellal and the alpha iso methyl ionone provide a nice subtle boost to the floral character. If you look at the Harrods perfumer event on Youtube you can see that the tester on the table and the one in the box during the pan up outro have a much lighter juice compared to Caljaun's.

As much as I love the nuances of the fragrance, I don't agree with the tester being different to the actual product you are getting (even though there are only slight differences) especially if someone shells out £2500 for it. Maybe its to add to the exclusivity factor, who knows.

>>12367513

Also in your case I'm happy they didn't water down the Roja tester, it sounds like they have better practices in Amsterdam than Harrods or the burlington arcade, which both I had seen with the lighter juice as the tester, as well as Roja's scent memory video.

anyone ever add a bit of perfume to bathwater? i don't have any bath oils, but thought maybe a few sprays would act similarly?

>>12367553
Yeah, who knows. I mean, obviously, I have no point of reference, because I don't own a bottle, but this one was amber coloured and certainly didn't seem watered down. I suppose it's possible that they were and I just didn't know the difference.

It's been all day though, plus I had sweaty sex and 2 showers and I can still faintly smell it on my wrist, so if it's watered down, you must be able to smell the full-strength stuff a mile away.

>>12367565
For the first 4-5 hours you get a pretty good projection, not beastly or overpowering, just soft and pleasant. It clings to your skin in the dry down from the 6th hour or so, it can last anywhere from 12 hours (hot weather, dog walking making it evaporate faster I guess) up to the 17 hour average or up to 20 something, but the only thing you can smell then really is the really really faint apparent ambergris note (I don't know what grade it is but there is no marine smell to me, which is typical in Grey/Silver grade ambergris, its just a whisper of sweetness to me and a strange musty tinge that I have no real reference point for.) Depending on what you see on the internet, some people say that ambergris never smells sweet, which can be the case for most dark grades and average grade ambergris, once ambergris becomes a very light silver/gray or white that is when it tends to only be faintly sweet and animalic. So if he does actually use ambergris in this one I can assume its a high grade silver/gray or even white grade ambergris. But I want to find out for sure, which is why I'm getting different tinctures from ambergristinctures . c o m who apparently sell the real deal as they are a sister site of ambergris . co . n z . I'm looking into the silver grade at 6%, the white grade at 3% and the while/gold grade at 3% (apparently the particular piece of ambergris had a thick white crust but through the centre it was a tan gold grade), I understand that the smell of ambergris varies from piece to piece but I just want to compare them to the dry down of Roja as reference points. They should be here in a week or two.

>>12367617
That'd be interesting, I don't know ambergris all that well myself, certainly not enough to be able to tell such nuances, but I'd be interested in hearing your conclusions. I'd like to know if Roja really is using super expensive, high-grade stuff in his frags.

>>12367559

This guy says it works, but I find it hard to believe you can get results by dilluting something like 3 sprays in 100L+ of water.

>>12367654

Well if one person was making a perfume for themselves with all the knowhow of blending and whatnot, you could get enough quantities for a couple perfumes of all the "most expensive and rare natural materials" and all that for a relatively inexpensive price, by scale atleast, but on a corporate scale of production I guess thats when you dive into the real money. I would definitely say that the ingredients he claims to use are there, the orris, rose, jasmine etc. But I am guessing that they are supported by a couple of synthetics for batch consistency and all that, I read somewhere that he was talking about a perfumer that used real rare sandalwood oils, but had to boost it slightly with a blend of synthetics to make sure it was consistent. So I guess that most of the smells you can pick up are from the raw materials that are natural, but a couple synthetics are used to boost it a little and add to it. The only thing I am paranoid about really is the ambergris since a lot of places swear by gospel that they use it, or atleast a small amount of the real stuff alongside a synthetic, which would technically make their claims true. But so far the ambergris note in the drydown is nowhere near similar to the synthetics I have compared it to. So far the hopes are pretty high, but I'm not going to be hugely dissapointed since all in all I still enjoy it, which is all that matters honestly.

They have some fantastic fragrances, but are also kinda babby's first niche houses, desu. There are a lot of other houses out there (Roja, MDCI, etc.) that exceed Creed and Amouage in quality IMO. Not hating, some of my all-time favs are Creed or Amouage, just saying a big part of their popularity is based on accessibility rather than quality.

three sprays of terre d'hermes into the water as the tub was filling made the whole bathroom bloom with the smell of orange. could still smell the tdh as i soaked, but it was fairly subtle. when i got out, tdh was a skin scent but it disappeared rather quickly. i expected the bathroom to smell like tdh for a bit afterward, but the scent disappeared as soon as the tub drained. all in all, it was a pleasant experience and some cheap decadence. mostly just made me want to buy some bath oils though.

Very versatile frag. It seems like a fall/winter scent because of the heavy tonka note, which makes it smell very rich. But believe me it works great in the summer on all but the hottest of days. Great for any season. Everyone will like how you smell.

Some say it doesn't smell very good up close, I disagree, but the magic is certainly in the sillage around you and the scent trail you leave.

Good buy, anon.

I've never ordered from them, but they've been around for many years and I've never heard any complaints. There are many threads on BN about them.

>>12372237
cheers. i'm the guy who asked you to do the survey of prostitute fragrances. really enjoying the updates, man. thanks.

>>12371919
I've ordered from them. They're fantastic. Very good customer service, they'll send you personal emails (not bots), they always throw in a few extra random samples for me, and they've done things like if they ran out of something, they'd give me a couple of double-sized samples of some of the other things I ordered. I've had nothing but good experiences with them.

>>12372280
Yeah, I thought it'd be interesting too since you gave me the idea. No real point to it, and I don't think it really provides any particularly useful data, but it's kinda fun nonetheless.

>>12372280
>>12372305
Another anon expressing an interest in the survey. I'm guessing it will be mostly popular frags, but the Romanian girl was pretty patrish.

>>12372400
Yeah, well you gotta keep in mind, most of these girls use something cheap while they're working because they often reapply between customers. A lot of them just grab something generic that'll make them smell sexy and feminine.

That Romanian girl for sure knew her shit, though. She said she usually wears Tom Fords when she works because they last so long, she doesn't need to reapply.

I'll try to keep you guys updated.

>>12372419
please dont, i dont want to hear about whores unless we speak about fragrances for whores or that smell like whores

whores arent cool

Can someone help me please. So last year when I was getting into fragrances I decided to join ScentBird which would give me a new scent every month. I did the 6 month plan for 80$. So at the 5 month mark I decided to not renew it and end the subscription. So when the 7th month came, I received a scent in the mail. So I logged in again and made sure that it was correct that I didn't renew. Than the 8th month came and they keep sending me shit. I even deleted my account from them. It's now the 11th month and they keep sending me fucking shit. It feels like they are pimping me out and forcing me to pay for a service I do not want. wtf is going on

>>12372536
>forcing me to pay
If you cancelled and they're still charging your card, call your credit card company and dispute the charges.

Curious, what do they send you for ~$13/month? Frags/sizes?

>>12372536
>>12372567
Oh, and refuse delivery of their packages too. Just write: "refused - return to sender" on the outside in magic marker preferably, and put an X through your address, so they can still read it, but make it obvious you are no longer the recipient.

anyone have experience with this? I've wanted a minty fragrance for years but haven't come across one that isn't shit

>>12372629
i found menthe fraiche off-putting. liked cdg peppermint a bit better, but it didn't really sit well with me either. i'm not sure what i'm looking for in a minty fragrance, but those weren't it.

the only fragrance featuring mint i've quite liked so far has been guerlain homme, but the mint is really in the background there.

i haven't explored mint fragrances enough, but i think what i'm looking for is one without citrus.

like mint with sage or eucalyptus, or peppermint/tea tree/milk, or something.

but i generally don't go for super green fragrances, so threading this very specific, very tiny, needle is probably going to take me a lifetime.

>>12372734
why wont you mix mint absolute with perfumers alcohol

Sorry son, the mob has spoken.

Saw a very busty Bulgarian girl today. She was wearing One Million. Not Lady Million, actual One Million. I don't usually care for One Million too much, doesn't smell bad, rather pleasant, but not something I'd wear. Turns out it's pretty nice when applied to a nice big set of titties that you have your face buried in. Would recommend.

This girl apparently is also rather keen on Amouage, she said she was planning to buy a bottle of their new Blossom Love today when she finished work. She just doesn't wear the really pricey stuff when she works because like I said, she has to reapply a lot, and also because she said she was afraid some customers might not like how some of the Amouage frags smelled. Seems like quite a few of these girls actually know their frags pretty well. She was aware of Creed, Kilian, Parfums de Marley, and Roja as well.

Chanel No. 5
Tuscan Leather
Princess

Am I missing any?

does anyone have/use fragrance travel atomisers?

some of my scents definitely aren't lasting the whole day, so I would like to be able to top up at lunchtime or something.

only issue is whenever i go to find a travel atomiser, every single one has at least a handful of reviews saying that they've broken and caused a leak or something.

Can anyone recommend a travel atomiser that hasn't broken for them?

Thanks in advance

i'm looking for a cheap casual daytime Spring/Summer frag, would you recommend CK1? or do you know of any better alternatives?

>>12378011
I'd just get a sample size or a travel sized version of the scent. They can be pricy when you think about what you're paying per ml, but certain lines make really nice packaging for travel sizes (Kilian, Le Labo, Juliet has a gun). Lots of lines do rollerballs as well.

I've had bad luck with travel atomizers too.

>>12378031
ok, that makes sense, thanks man!

i'm new to fragrances, i've only just bought Mont Blanc Individuel and Moschine Uomo but neither of them are lasting all day on me, i'm looking to sprout out towards Versace Eros and La Nuit De L'Homme.

Do you have any recommendations for sites to purchase samples/travel sized versions for Eros/La Nuit/other fragrances?

I just bought this how did I do?

>>12378072
I like it. Solid spring pick.

>>12377984
Yeah, one girl had Narciso Rodriguez for her.

>>12378031
I just bought a bulk pack of sample vials off amazon. 3 ml spray vials. Costs like 20.00 for 100 of them, and they seem to work pretty well. Worst case scenario, you can just keep them in a little baggy in your pocket.

>>12378050
Travalo atomisers are reliable but pricey. La nuit does not last so you will need to reapply

>>12378050
how do you like individuel and uomo?

>>12374353
>she was planning to buy a bottle of amouage
bulgarians don't have money to buy a pack of cigarettes, let alone expensive perfumes, unless they spend their month salary.

When they work in Amsterdam and are making upwards of €5-600 per day, basically tax-free they can.

I've used picture related and similar Chinese atomizers for years and the only time I get leaks is when I fly. Try using teflon tape on the threads for extra security. I've also used Travalo knock offs with no problems. Maybe I'm just lucky...

>>12378138
>>12378288
thanks for the advice, i'll have a search around.

>>12378178
I quite like them both, nothing crazy or anything, I feel like Uomo is really good at being very middle ground if you get what I mean. Individuel has a nicer, smarter scent, and the performance is better, so I do find myself wearing that one more often.

If i was going to meet a girl and wanted to put across a clean nice guy impression, i'd probably lean closer towards Uomo.

Considering how cheap they both were, i'm very impressed overall.

Looking for a long lasting, panty-dropper. Preferably cheap.

>Is that normal for this fragrance?

Yeah, but you can probably get more with some heat.

Some frags need heat and some like pic related perform like shit no matter what.

Is it cold where you are?

jesus fucking christ this shit stinks like shit. I smell like some greasy fucking arab covered in gold chains with a massive hairy chest

I have (decant) and love reflection man, how did it all go so wrong?

did I play myself?

>>12378971
Interlude Man is literally the strongest, most arab fragrance Amouage offers. Personally I consider it a masterpiece, but I would never wear it around other people.

Reflection Man is completely different from the rest of the Amouage lineup though.

>>12379031
Yeah like I agree it's a masterpiece... but Jesus it's so offensive lmao

>>12368007
for every good fragrance Creed has, they have 3 terrible ones.

>>12375777

>>12379153

>>12379159
Those are all unisex though?

>>12378684
that thing smells like urinal cakes.. not good

I came back here after months of not going on 4chan. Holy fuck, you guys are still fucking sheeps "Ooh, Buy Aventus or YSL LA NUIT DE HOMME OR THE ONE BY D&G OR AQUA DI GIO SMELLS LIKE YOUR GIRLSFRIENDS EXBOYFRIEND" Just buy a fucking bottle and leave this thread. You guys ask the same fucking answer everyday and you praise Dior Farenheit like it's god's fucking cologne. It is that all fucking good, it's all subjective as fuck so just get a bottle and shut the fuck up.

>>12379311
You mad faggot?

only one i've sniffed that fits what you asked

>>12378011
I bought some off amazon pretty cheap snap together haven't had any leaks so far. Lots of complaints on fishy smell on reviews but I haven't noticed anything.

is 60ml la nuit for $35 a good deal?

Ohoho, fucking nice. I posted in the previous thread about being torn between Assoluta and Essenza after sampling (and thoroughly enjoying) both. But if I had to pick one I think I'd go with Essenza since it doesn't have the darker elements of the Assoluta and I'm looking for a fragrance that's on the citrus-y side of things.

On a side note, after sampling both Assoluta and Essenza, I'm a bit surprised by the color choice for the bottle and packaging designs. The essenza has the more citrus-y and lighter notes imo and you would think that it would be associated with lighter colors, not black--instead yellow.

>>12380657
opus collection is garbage imo and if you've never tried any of the others you've listed then coromandel, grey vetiver and DHI are must tries.
if you've never tried BdC, get on that too, though I doubt someone looking to try the opus collection is interested in something as plebby as bdc

>>12381315
what does the opus collection remind you of? any of them

Dior uomo?

for reference i detest amouage from what i've tried, besides reflection and jubilation but the only one that comes to mind immediately is VII.

VII has disgustingly big performance/projection and is VERY mature. the oud is fecal and very in your face, with a green, smokey overtone. i would say it's unwearable if you are looking to make a good impression, but if art is your thing, go for it.
