How much of a meme is this

I need opinions on the 2017 reformulation. Looking for something fresh I can wear this summer. Already have sauvage but I want to get off that bandwagon so Im gonna sell it

Is pic related a safe pick for casual, jeans and a tee shirt college student day to day use? Or should I try Davidoff Cool Water?

is christian clive no.1 worth the price tag

>>12438629
I doubt you'll ever smell anybody wearing this unless you hang around people who are into fragrances. So, not at all.

guys I'm looking for a vanilla that isn't sweet. can you help?

>>12438961
Maybe get samples of both and see which one you prefer?
On that note, is Joop Homme worth trying out? I want an evening scent as well as something for the cooler months (was thinking trying Boss Bottled)

>>12439442
tom ford tobacco vanille

>>12439462
thanks, but that one smells like my grandpa and grandma's old apartment. also I'd prefer something resinous and/or woody

I can't stop blind buying and I'm poor. Wat do

Just arrived today.

Probably the best thing I've ever smelled.

Next month I'm planning on blind buying Allure Homme Eau Extreme and Valentino Uomo Intense

They seem pretty safe and things I would like based on my taste, can't find samples of them anywhere locally or online

Anyone who have them want to tell me their experience?

>>12438898
>>12438901

tested it twice

I had trouble smelling it off my skin after like 1 hour.

Might be good ole' olfactory fatigue, didnt get anyone else's nose on it so i couldnt tell. However it was a skin scent on me for like 10 hours

>>12439766
Eau extreme, everyone i let smell it / smelled it love the hell out of it. I like it myself as well, haven't picked up a bottle yet though.

Valentino Uomo: Heavy iris. DHI minus the chocolate notes. I'm not that into iris, but if it floats your boat then perfect purchase for you.

>>12439640
My ex loved CH men. Doesnt last that long but people over exaggerate how bad the performance is. its similar to La nuit. As the sillage starts to become closer to your body, your girl will be drawn in more to try and smell

>>12439777
Thanks, what do you get for projection/longevity on them?

>>12439688
Citrus (mainly orange) with some aquatic that actually has some longevity.

>>12439443
If it's anything like Joop Homme Extreme, I wouldn't bother with it. Boss Bottled smells nice and is good for cooler months and nights.

After a new daytime scent, something fresh and quite light but manly. Previously wore ADP Colonia Club during the day and liked its grassy, outdoorsy smell.

Preferably available from John Lewis and £50-80ish.

>>12440182

To me, I just love the drydown because it's a tobacco frag with a lot of classic tobacco notes that manages to smell nothing like a tobacco frag. On me, I get rich, creamy vanilla, cognac, jasmine, and a bit of spiciness from the ginger, pepper, and patchouli.

Hey, if it's not your thing, it's not your thing. I, personally, happen to love orientals, boozy scents, good vanilla notes, and jasmine. It was a love at first smell for me.

>>12440454
i dont like vanilla that much

funny thing is roja dove himself said insecure people love vanilla

>>12440467
We'll, I love a lot of different frags. I love a nice fougere, I love a good aquatic, I certainly don't wear only orientals, I'm simply able to appreciate very good ones.

Some of my other favorite frags are Creed MI, Amouage Bracken, Acquai di Parma Essenza, Amouage Jubilation XXV. I wear a pretty good mix of genres.

Has anyone done the Atelier discovery pack? Seems like really good value and I'm kinda tempted as summer approaches.

>>12440467
Well, that's not exactly what he said. What he said was that in his experience, people who tend to favor oriental fragrances may be insecure. They dress loudly and wear very bold fragrances in order to mask insecurity. He never said anything specifically about vanilla, except perhaps as an example of a note often found in oriental fragrances.

>>12440582
http://www.gq.com/story/roja-dove-custom-perfume

"Take this gentleman," he said, discreetly motioning to a man across the room. "Dressed in a showy way, a little loud, confident—I’m going to guess he’s wearing an oriental fragrance. People who like these types of perfumes tend to be a bit larger-than-life." And why was this? he asked, stabbing the asparagus on his plate. "Because usually underneath they’re a little insecure. When you come across vanillic scents, whether the association is with ice cream, cake, or biscuit, the vanilla subconsciously makes somebody feel very secure. We learn that security is a kiss and a treat. So the big character, who inside is vulnerable, loves these very large perfumes, because inside it feels like a safety thing."

>>12440325
Give it a go then. Personally, ive never smelled it, but have heard its overrated

>>12440560
Got it last year and loved it. Even if they're too expensive normally, the sampler pack allows you enjoy a little slice of well renowned niche house with fantastic offerings.
The ones I didn't enjoy out of their range were sent off as samples to people who purchased decants from me

Both solid options. But i'd stick to mugler.

>>12440946
Flashback can go. It's a not-as-good TdH for 3x the price, with rhubarb instead of orange as the main top accord. I bought it and regret it.

I'd replace Satin Mood with Cashmere Mood.

>>12441073
Ignore him jeremy is the go to guy for beginners.

>>12441073
this general and fragrance websites are all you need
jeremy is a moron who admitted he pretty much only wears fragrances to attract people

>>12441091
when i started getting into fragrances i posted pictures and asked this general what they could smell like, I got a couple fragrance recommendations that way and bought samples, that's about the best initiation someone can get along with going to a fragrance store and smelling around
you're doing that guy a disservice if you tell him jeremy is good at all
jeremy has his own philosophy about fragrances and you should listen to his advices only if you have the same fragrance philosophy as him, otherwise you're shooting yourself in the foot

>>12441099
Is good advice

>>12441071
Seems too niche-oriented for beginners. It seems like a good way to blow a bunch of money on a polarizing Art fragrance that you end up not wearing.

>>12441142
you dont grow a taste for niche with years of experience, you either like niche stuff or you dont

most of the beauty of the fragrance world comes from the niche realm

also fragranceview is pretty good

wrong thread buddy

>>12440606
If you wanted an orange creamsicle, you should've got Hermes Mandarine Ambree.

>>12440604
Yeah, that's exactly what I said.

I'm new to all this and trying to pick something.
I used to wear David Beckham Essence in college, and actually liked it despite it being cheap af.

I got three samples I've been wearing this week:
Dolce light blue for men
Chanel Allure homme sport
Acqua di gio

Any opinions? I'm leaning towards chanel or gio but I know that gio is pretty popular/common so I don't exactly know if I want to smell like every guy in a polo shirt

>>12441150
Of course taste is something that you develop. Just like art, music or food, you pick up a sense of what's good and by consuming a lot of different stuff, paying attention, and discussing with other interested people.

Just like a 500€ bottle of wine would be 470€ wasted on me, I think it's better to start with some 'safer', more versatile, and cheaper scents that you can actually wear in everyday situations. If you wear something a lot, you'll start to pick up on how it progresses from top to base, and maybe pick up the ability to identify individual notes.

Then, once you have a nose that can pick up on all the subtlety, you'll be able to tell which niche fragrances are actually worth the price, and which are just marketing bullshit (and there's more than plenty of that in perfumes).

>>12441218
it either speaks to you or it doesnt, how hard to understand is that

the only thing that you "develop" is the ability to find what you like better

>>12441203
>When you come across vanillic scents
>vanillic scents
>He never said anything specifically about vanilla

>>12441216
I don't know if any of those will really set you apart, but if it's between that and Chanel, get the Chanel. It's more balanced and well-rounded. AdG is so distinctive to me it pretty much screams "hey everyone I'm wearing Armani Acqua di Gio!"

(and maybe "hey everyone, it's 2003" depending on where you're located)

>>12441246
That's a good point. I'm wearing the Chanel today and it's growing on me. I may just go for it. Thanks

>>12441236
> it either speaks to you or it doesnt, how hard to understand is that
Read the reviews on basenotes or fragrantica, especially for an 'advanced' scent like Kouros, Antaeus, or Yatagan. How many are there saying, "I thought this was awful at first, but then I came back to it a few months later and tried it again and like, wow, this is amazing!"

> the only thing that you "develop" is the ability to find what you like better
Exactly, and you might find what you like in something even when you thought it wasn't there before. And that takes a bit of time and effort.

>>12441238
Yes, in the context of oriental fragrances, which is what I said.

>>12441238
Dude who bought the Roja here. I see what he's trying to say. The implication isn't necessarily that all people who like vanilla are insecure, simply that vanilla is comforting and makes people feel secure. If anything, the implication is that everyone likes vanilla to some extent for that reason. I feel like Roja's saying that people who feel insecure often flavor vanilla fragrances because of the comfort vanilla provides.

For the record, I am definitely not what people would consider "larger than life". Usually just wear pretty simple jeans and a neutral colored button down shirt. Nothing loud. And like I said, I like many different types of frags.

Thinking about buying Dior Homme Sport 2012 and La Nuit De L'Homme Yves Saint Laurent for my summer cologne should I do it

>>12441150
>niche stuff

Both of these statements are silly. "Niche" is a term describing the house selling the frag. It's like "indie" in music. The term is meaningless in actually describing anything about the product. There are good and bad frags from every house and price level.

Voyage d'hermes EdT vs EdP, opinions? no stores near me have EdP so I cant really sample it.

Hey guys, I need a new shower gel and I want your opinion. Which of these do you think it's the best: Dior- Farenheit, Hermes- Terre D'Hermes, Versace- Eros Invigorating or Jean Paul Gaultier- Ultra Male.

>>12441600
Sorry to hijack your question but i have to ask - I never really considered using something like a designer shower gel - apart from the smell do they actually offer anything better than the rest?

>>12441600
The good thing about shower gel is if you buy one you don't really like, it's never so bad it's unusable, and it washes off. Pick the one that would look the best in your shower see how it works out.

>>12441681
No, you'll get a skin scent of the perfume for the day. They're generally a waste of money. It's a luxury good you buy if you want to pamper yourself or get some kind of psychological benefit, otherwise it's hard to beat a basic bar of Dove imo.

No you fucking loser.

>>12441898
Only you know the answer to that. If it were me, I'd treat myself with some bath oil or a bath bomb if some kind, or just light a nice candle. A body wash doesn't scream self-care to me, but if you love the scent maybe it's worth it.

Buy it if you want to smell like every greasy Persian at da clubs like 2 years ago.

Doesn't smell bad, per se, but it is a very sweet, synthetic scent and was basically THE go-to douchebag clubbing scent for a while.

Been avoiding as it seems like the Manic Panic/Hot Topic of fragrances, you know? I could be talking out of my ass, just prefer something less obvious and more naturally 'dark'. I like Black Aoud enough (dark/rosey) but after a while it just feels linear and cloying.

>>12442469
Nice. My sample collection makes me really happy as well. How do you plan on organizing them?

>>12442496
Good question, I was thinking about organizing them by house, and I would store them in a coffer that has multiple compartments if there's something like that

Still not sure where I would end up storing them but I wanted to organize them by house. I dont think I would organize the couple bottles I would buy but the samples yes since it's more of a library imo

Speaking of samples...I have a ton that I'd sell. Mostly full. Is that something I can do on Ebay or do they have restrictions against that? I feel like I read that somewhere. Or would anyone here be interested?

>>12442586
what do you have?

>>12442586
Plenty of people sell samples on eBay, I think the issue mostly is that they're supposed to be shipped via ground not air.

>>12442586
Part of me wants to sell the samples I didn't like, part of me wants to keep them around for reference.

>>12442630
keep them desu, it's good to have an olfactory library

>>12442630
>keep them around for reference
This is why I think I'll hang onto mine. Knowing what doesn't work is as important as knowing what does.

Name the specific "designer" scents which all smell alike so that I can laugh at your underdeveloped nose.

>>12442818
I'm not saying they all smell the same I'm saying they all evoke pretty much the same thing.

Egoiste, bb london, guerlin, ysl lhomme, and others

I didnt try them but right out of the bottle they were all too similar, compared to the rest of my samples which vary a lot.

>>12442818
UNREFINED LUXURY. that's the word for it. they smell like most of their garbage mainstream products. shiny and ugly.

>>12442828
Guerlain doesn't make any other products. Btw which guerlain did you get?

London, egoïste and ysl l'homme, yeah I can understand that reaction, especially if you smell them basically all at the same time, and apparently not looking for a mainstream spicy oriental.

>>12442865
Guerlain also makes makeup and skincare you dolt/

No you fucking retard I was really not expecting any of them to smell the way they did which is why I bought them to begin with, I had especially high expectations for Egoiste, but they all smelled like trash

anyway I have yet to actually try them on my skin, but still I'm really not expecting anything great

>>12442912
shut up designer baby

>>12442918
Not the guys you're arguing with, but Jesus Christ, maybe you should try fragrances on your skin for a few hours before giving us your impressions. And maybe you shouldn't give us your impressions at all.

im sure ill be disappointed

>>12442961
Then you will be, idiot.

>>12442968
fuck off designer retard

>>12442969
You know perfumers who create designer fragrances also create niche fragrances right? The brand is just that, a name to put behind a product.

>>12442984
...so?

>>12443010
Oh so you're a troll

>>12443014
Yeah, that became obvious to me a little bit ago too.

>>12443014
Who cares about the fact that perfumers can also make good fragrances. I'm talking about those designer houses here. If a good 3D artists contributed to the making of Call of Duty : Space Dubstep Warfare 4, does that make the game any better? No, but the 3D artist got some good money nonetheless.

I bought some sample vials, how do I go about using them? Do I empty out an atomiser and fill it up, or just dab on my finger and apply that way?

>>12443302
With your finger or the cap. I generally use the cap, or I contort and flip my arm with the vial pressed against it to apply a bit. But I'm typing that I just realized how retarded I look, so I'm going to phase that maneuver out of my repertoire and stick with the dab.

>>12443449
Nah, I do the vial thing too. Never seem to get enough for a good wear from dabbing.

>>12443302
If you have more than the 0.7ml tubes from Lucky Scent, it's worth it to me to transfer to an atomizer. Otherwise, I just stick the open end against my forearm, invert and rub, kind of like a poor man's roll on.

tfw just found out my 5mL samples of Oud Wood, Tuscan Leather, and Tobacco Vanille slowly but completely leaked out of the travel atomizers I transferred them to.

The eternal question: buy a small bottle of something I love, or spend that money on 25 samples in hopes of finding more things I'll love. Trying to be responsible and stick to a budget is no fun.

Does anyone know any colognes or sprays that are pretty much the same as this? I would get the bottle but I can't find any for sale, pretty sure it's discontinued or something.

>>12442624
Ah, okay. That might be what I was thinking of.

>>12442587
Too many to remember at the moment. Creed, Hermes, Atelier, Diptuque. A good mix of niche and designer too. I'll make a list if anyone is interested.

>>12443753
Balance. Do some of both. Buy a bottle so you have something reliable you can wear, then a couple months later, get samples.

Watched the BBC perfume documentary, got this and it smells amazing, but it feels "heavy" in spring and summer weather.

Can it still be worn? Should I look for an alternative, and if so, any recommendations?

>>12443810
yeah please do

>>12443624
Ack sorry to hear. Were they upright, or on their sides? I keep all my samples upright because that happened to me a while ago.

What are your guys absolute favourtie summer scents that you couldn't go without? Something for sunny days chilling outside with your bros

which are better for fatter atomizers.

Whats a good all rounder scent for being indoors?
I'm 20 and spend most of my days in an air condiitoned computer lab, so I don't want to stink everyone out.
I really like woody, spicy frags but I feel like Spicebomb would be too much for indoors and not an everyday, from the samples I've tried my favourites are John Varvatos John Varvatos, Spicebomb and The One, is The One a safe bet that I can rely on smelling good and having solid projection as it starts to get colder in Australia?
Looking for cheaper than $100
(This is in addition to a bunch of samples I'm buing off of FragranceNet)

Can I get a rating from some anons for just how good they find these scents or notes on what they know, i.e not as good as x, poor sillage etc.
Also should I try to trim down the list or just accept that this is an expensive hobby?

What are you looking for in a fragrance? You can't just give a list of frags without saying what you want
Or are you just going to order these samples? Still you should tell us what you're looking for so we can recommend some samples

>>12444323
What would ordering certain scents have to do with picking a good fragrance? I already know that I like warm spicy and woody accords, with notes like leather, cinnamon, tobacco, vanilla etc.
Understanding what scents I like better won't stop me from stinking out a comp lab just because I like Spicebomb.

>>12444338
Sorry, what I mean to ask is whether there are any duds in particular in the list, or whether there are similar fragrances that people with more experience than me know, that would be better to sample.
My tastes are similar to >>12444339 but I'm trying to find a summer scent for the heat that won't be overpowering in the office as well as the spicy winter scent.

>>12444341
>summer scent for heat that wont be overpowering in office
From your list the ones that fit this bill (that i know of) are:
(Acqua di gio does but its super overplayed, you can try the new profumo version but i think thats better for night time)
Versace dylan blue
Nautica voyage
Ed hardy love and luck
Lucky you
You can also try
Versave pour homme
Moschino uomo
Creed millesime imperial (similar to love and luck)
There are tons more those are just my limited thoughts/suggestions

>>12444336
You got a lot of meme cologne there anon

>>12444346
Thank you very much! I'll have a look at your suggestions and see what I can do with the list
>>12444366
That's what I'm worried about, help me senpai

Also this list was from FragranceNet because of their coupon deal, but is there another site that's better for Australians? theperfumedcourt and luckyscent are charged in us dollars and carry different scents to my list.

>>12444291
Could go with Spicebomb Eau Fraiche. It's got a similar scent to Spicebomb, but cleaner and more fresh, and doesn't have that monster projection.

>>12444374
Most of the stuff on your list, you could just find at a department store. Could just go there and test a few, really no need to order online.

>>12444336
Want to narrow it down? Pick 10 bottles you think would look nicest in your bathroom or best reflect who you want to be. Also pick the 10 names that you think sound best or evoke some emotion or inspiration. Sample whatever made it on both lists, and you'll find something to love.

>>12444438
>10 bottles/names
Actually your list is shorter than I thought. Change that to 7.

Anyone recommend a cologne like Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

>>12441473
I'm pretty partial to a good citrus offering, especially in summer where it gets to well over 40°C. I found that Atelier's citruses had something a lot of other's lacked - real zest. Most designer citruses hide their citrus zest behind copious amounts of ambroxin, sandalwood or sweetness, but Atelier revels in the really zesty almost bitter blasts of citrus common when peeling of cutting a lemon or orange for example. I found that they mimic real citrus fruits incredibly well and always leave you feeling refreshed and energised.

Other than their citrus range, I enjoyed: philtre ceylon, tobacco nuit, poivre electrique, and a few others I cant remember the name to

>>12443850

Here's the list of samples I have for sale. I haven't worked out prices on any of them but they'll be cheaper than Luckyscent/The Perfumed Court.

Whichever anon recommended Atelier Vetiver Fatal as a less sweet Bal d'Afrique, good rec.

I think I actually like Bal d"afrique better, but VF is pretty similar and is less sweet. Although it's kind of weak on my skin.

Any opinions on Annick Goutal's Neroli? I know it's a female fragrance, but I'm confident enough to pull it off

>>12444655
You have some crowd pleasing options, you did fine

I'm a cheap guy, with shitty taste, so no bully pls. But between Versace Blue Jeans and Guess Man do you guys have any preference? Or better, what $0~20 / 100 ml. fragances do you reccomend?

>>12444837
Never smelled either of those. But you can get Nautica Voyage online for pretty cheap I believe. It seems pretty well liked for a cheapie.

You can get Nautica Voyage for like 9.00 CAD on fragrancebuy.

>>12444659
you know some people actually like to smell nice and not like a campfire with bugspray and black bean farts right?

Wondering if anyone can recommend a rose fragrance for spring/summer.
I love the woodiness/spiciness of Rose 31 but the rose is a little more muted than I'd like. I also have Calligraphy Rose which is lovely but the smokey incense makes it more suited to cold weather.
Portrait of a Lady is divine but a bit too opulent and heavy for day-to-day, same with Misia.
I think I'm more into the rich, lush type of rose, maybe even jammy.

Smells nice and citrusy. Not really any amber though. And I can't smell it unless I put my nose about two inches away from it, even after applying more...so I'd say this one is a pass. This is one of the weakest frags I've tried.

>>12446809

Sometimes by association. Like, if I know a really hot girl who wears a particular frag, smelling that frag can get me going a bit. Same as if I smell a frag that a girl was wearing when I fucked her.

Is Invictus really looked down on in the fragrance community, or is it just a status thing? I've smelled both and prefer the Versace, but I've been hearing alot that Invictus has that "attractive" vibe to girls.

Please Axe Bergamot I want you back.


I like to go to cheap stores to buy bottles just to add to my collection. If you go to Dollar Tree, they have bottles of fragrances for a dollar. They are absolute trash except when being used as like room sprays.

If you go to Big Lots however, they have the Preferred Fragrances brand of knockoffs for $3.50. A bunch of their stuff is really good, except it just lasts really short. Their knockoff Invictus spells pretty similar as does their Aqua di Gio (called Aqua H20) and their knockoff 212 Club is really nice.

The thing is, half the bottles I get leak and I have to throw them out, so I think I'm going to have to stop. I need a list of like the top super cheap fragrances under $15 and Ill just buy those.

I have 20-25 bottles of $60+ colognes, but my favorite is my cheapass bottle of Tabac and my cheap bottle of Eau de Grey Flannel.

I am still on the hunt for the illusive bottle of something that smells exactly like original Speed Stick. Eau de Grey Flannel is close, but not spicy enough.

>>12447821
It's this, basically. Invictus has that douchebag clubbing association. Eros is a bit more mature and sophisticated (though it still works as a clubbing scent, should you be so inclined).

That said, wear whatever you like. Don't be concerned with what people you'll never meet on a Bhutanese straw weaving board think.

>>12447876
>>12447821
Thanks friends, appreciate the feedback.

>>12442819
Learn to use your nose before you post retarded shit like that.

I noticed the amber in Cool Water after around 4 hours of it being on my chest. Is this a sign of scent development? (Given my nose is pretty much awful)

>>12447108
OK, so it's really the memory of sex that puts lead in your pencils, triggered by scent. Fair enough.

Your other senses must be heightened, so try flicking your tongue like a snek.

>>12447620
I'm a beginner, but my last 5x5 set was 100 lbs. Tough lift.

>>12447874
Yeah, Tabac Original is great. Was a contender for best cheapest scent. Also Clubman.

>>12447968
Yes. Lighter scent molecules (topnotes) evaporate soonest: fresher ones like citrus, etc. And the heaviest ones go last: the basenotes, i.e. musks, woods, etc. But also, the more times you wear a scent, the more notes you'll notice, i.e. the more you'll "get" a scent.

The opening of Bleu de Chanel EDT is a very harsh grapefruit but in EDP it was chnaged to a very sweet/fresh note that for me evokes an image of a juicy tangerine that lingers for just a couple of minutes even though I think that's not actually a tangerine, anyway that's the most pleasant and comforting note i've ever smelled in any parfume. Would relly appreciate if some could tell me what note it is.

>>12448301
this desu, i wish it lasted longer

>>12448417
yeah, the performance is an issue but it's a night scent so if I go out after 8pm I only need it to last about 4-5 hours so it's not a problem for me.

>>12448444
im always surprised to hear that people have such tough times with the performance on the EdP, I get a solid 7-8 hours out of it with about 3-4 in arms length projection.

Curve Deluxe
I am actually a fan of Platinum Egoiste and own a 100ml bottle. But it does smell like Curve.
Warm, sweet, mossy, 90's lavender.

>>12448500
It;s probably just hard to measure objectively how much it keeps projecting with your nose quickly gettin used to a scent. For example I recently bought a lot of samples and hated most of them but could smell them on my skin even the next day while it seems the the few that I really liked evaporated after just a couple of hours.

>>12448535
i'm not sure if you're referring to me being unable to tell it lasts that long or you unable to get performance out of it, but i usually moisturize before i apply fragrance so i usually get a little bit more out of my scents.
as to the olfactory fatigue aspect though, i usually put my nose inside of my shirt and inhale or smell a part of my skin that doesn't have fragrance, that seems to reset my nose from smelling something neutral so try that out if you think you might be experiencing it

Is notino legit? They're offering some fragrances like Aventus and Reflection Man at a huge discount from retail price.

>>12448584
I only meant that all the comments about The One EDP poor performance (which I would say is average) probably come not from performance itself but rather things like the longetivity not being on par with scent itself so it;s being exagerrated as poor, repeating what other peaople say and just prejudice based on EDT which really was bad in that regard.

>>12448608
Yeah it's legit dude

>>12448669

Shop around before buying anything though. Sometimes their list price is ridiculously high to inflate the appearance of an astronomical discount.
