It's pretty good, I just don't like sweet fragrances. But it's not as sweet as Eros EdT. This has a very nice vanilla and lavender opening. Women seem to love it.

Anyone also noticed since being in the fragrance game and the nose learned to smell more nuances that your own fart smell more interesting? Since i'm taking more supplements my fart sometimes smell metallic, animalic, somewhat musky-powdery. I'm addicted to my own fart to the point when everytime i fart i turn around to sniff it.Fragrances are a hell of a drug.
Anyone know where I can order samples of Maison Crivelli frags in Europe?Also: Tauer ACDD or LDDM?

Sotd Portfolio - Neroli CanvasI fucking love Neroli in summer.
>>18118424Neroli smells like heaven, I just berry my nose and sniff it deeply, same for pink lilac and pink hyacinth.
>>18118439Easily one of the best parts of summer
>>18118451Yea, I just sniff every flower that I found, I fucking enjoy the "stinky" ones too.Fuck, walls of jasmin, scented roses, privets, fucking honeysuckles, Mock Orange etc...Classic, but always a pleasure.
>>18118459We went to a botanical gardens last weekend. Since I've been getting into perfume my ability to identify flowers by smell has increased substantially. Yet another positive side effect of the perfumed lifestyle

>>18118424Best neroli>Colonia Essenza
>>18118316Directly from Maison Crivelli. Shipping costs almost as much as the entire sample set, though.
I hope the new chanel masculine thats coming will be a return to mens chypres.
Is it as good as everyone says?
>>18118515They hired Timmy Shadilay to keep the BDC train going, expect it’ll just be an elixir/intense or some other flanker of it
Can he save Chanel?
>>18118558How disappointing
>>18118318My warm season office workhorse.
i cannot get enough of this. it's sweaty. there's a bit of rhubarb. it's sweet. soapy. musky. leathery. almost smells like gasoline.
>>18118590Gasoline/rubber notes in perfume are so great. I wish Bvlgari black was still available.
>>18118481Wow thanks anon, shipping is actually free from my country. I hope Oud Maracuja and Hibiscus Mahajad won't disappoint.
>>18118478Neroli smells so good. My rotation now is Wood Neroli, Portfolio Neroli Canvas.

>>18118664It was a very funny idea
This smells great but I think it might also be a bit dated. Any expereience with it?
>>18118675I never worry about the "datedness" of perfume and you shouldn't either.
I want frags with a jazzy vibe. Sensual, dark but in a chill way not an edgy way, comforting, relaxed, deepAnything aside from baraonda?

Hello /perf/. I just dropped in to tell you my scent of the day is Creed Aventus
>>18118359Dali depends on how much you like skank. It's more moderate in performance than say, Kouros or Lapidus (cousins to it) but it's good all the same. Transmorphs though from skank to sweet in a weirdly chameleon like way.
>>18118746I live for skank.
>>18118724Spicebomb doesn't deserve the name.
>>18118739Spotted the brown.
>>18118813Very mediocre house if we are being honest. Sub-par slop for the "foreign tourist in London" contingent. We don't need it.
>>18118558I think I might self immolate outside of Chanel headquarters at this point.
>>18118716Yatagan.
>>18118646Is it any good?
How is it so good bros?
>>18118664Very based.
>>18118280I like it. It's exactly what the name implies. Pear and green notes. Closer to the EDT than the EDP. Juicy then clean. Springtime, summer, fall scent.
>>18118830I don't know, but the bottle is pretty sweet. I have no experience with this brand whatsoever. This particular fragrance has three reviews on fragrantica. All of them are positive, but it seems strangely under the radar considering it's a $300+ fragrance from the personal brand of a perfumer that has made a metric fuckton of fragrances for various brands over the course of a 50 year career. A lot of the big league brief-chasers seem to have these rinky-dink brands that nobody really talks about. Makes me wonder what kind of Faustian lengths Kurkdjian had to go to to make eau d'Entist the most successful creator-owned fragrance of all time
>>18118724one of the most disgusting flanker lines there existed>>18118836try nicolai's amber oud, you'll love it
>>18119096It's very interesting how driven by social media the popularity of various perfumes is. I'd love to know precisely how that sausage gets made for BR540 for instance.

what's best fragrance for my girlfriend to wear when i want her to smell like my boyfriend?
>>18119215Your brain is playing tricks on you.>>18119221Drakkar Noir is actually quite nice for this
>>18119215Excuse me you got a (you) in /perfume/ let's be accurate.
>>18119029thanks for the response, i sampled it yesterday and it's quite nice.
could this work as a nice clean, fresh scent for summer?
>>18119252It's a generic floral, leans feminine. Mediocre performance. Extremely overpriced
>>18119258yeah tahts somewhat the impression i was getting too but i havent really heard anyone mention an alternative with a similar enough vibe
Now and then, 2 KingsSotd
>>18119281Tubbs wore grey flannel canonically
>>18119286A fantastic choice too
>>18119281That looks ridiculous.
>>18119291Why?
Tell me about Acqua di ParmaAre any of them worth it? Seems like a ton of completely redundant releases
>>18119384Some of them are nice, but they cost too much for what they are.
>>18118555nice digits, witnessedbased on the dupe that was my SOTD>YESwish it wasn't so expensive, tho (I will probably buy a bottle anyway)
>>18119384>>18119472Not to mention their performance is pretty weak across the board.
>eros energy>patchouli, mossy, musky, black currant, fruity>reads like a Aventus cousinUhm, guys?
>>18119472>>18119516What about Colonia Oud?
>>18119623why don't you just save up your allowance and buy Aventus
Wow. I like this one a lot. I don't understand why people complain about the marine note, that's the best part. It's not some cheap smelling aquozone nonsense, it's a decently convincing sea salt accord. The vanilla is very light and blends with the citrus to create a creamy liqueur effect. It's like sipping Limoncello on the beach at an upscale Italian resort while a cool ocean breeze is coming through. It's soft, but it's a hot weather fragrance. Smells like money. Very bougie, white linens and pressed slacks kind of fragrance. This is how I picture Jude Law's character in The Talented Mr. Ripley smelling.
>>18119627>Colonia OudI've not smelt it but demachy usually knows his way around agar
ACDD or LDDM and why?
>>18119657>ACDD or LDDMACDD and LDDM
>>18119673I'd rather get only one of them.
I want you to give me your honest opinions on the following brands:>Chopard>Nicolai>Aaron Terence Hughes>Initio>Amouage>Parfums de Marly>Aramis>Serge Lutens>Tauer Perfumes>Guerlain>Matiere Premiere
>>18119744One of these is not really like the others
>>18119744Tauer is absolute top tier perfumerySerge Lutens is "masstige" according to retards ITT but it regularly puts out high quality scents, probably one of the best price/quality ratios out there if you compare the brand to its competitors. Malle also has similar quality but is overpriced; Diptyque as well but scents often lack performancePDM is good but has embarrassing marketing and is wildly overpriced. The scents themselves are just more refined takes on popular scent DNAs but they are not worth the money and the brand rarely creates anything really interestingGuerlain and Nicolai are top tier although I prefer other houses I have to acknowledge they consistently create extremely high quality scentsAmouage has some interesting stuff, Initio too. Unjustly shat on by /frag/ even though they rarely create masterpieces they're still very decentMatieres Premieres is excellent
>>18119673I went ACDD because the performance is marginally better and the fragrance is a little heavier, which generally speaking I prefer.
>>18119793it's fine, both of them are awesome
>>18119252I like MFK but this just smells like laundry perfume
Based.Sotd Aventus.
>>18119673Which is the most "office appropriate"I'm being completely unironic here. Love woody, spicy orientals but I don't want to project in the entire office
>>18120207Tradslop of the highest order, stop polluting the thread you ape.>>18120081How many times am I going to have to spell this out? Tom Ford makes FUNDAMENTALLY INCOMPLETE perfume.
>>18120062Well, quite, but a hateful little worm made a fake fragrance general and here we are.
Need a cheap (< $100) perfume as a gift for a friend. Are the Zara ones any good? Looking to get the "TOBACCO" set. Tried it in the store and seems like something he might wear... THOTS?
>>18120269>Are the Zara ones any good?No, not really. Go on Fragrancenet or Fragrancex and get him something with a higher MSRP for <$100. Floris Santal will work. It's a bit like an upscale La Nuit de L'Homme. Very hard to dislike and you can tell him about the fancy 300 year history of the house.
>>18120269Zara fragrances usually smell alright but last for 20 minutes.
>>18119744>NicolaiExcellent house with a few misses here and there. NYI alone would be enough to make me give this house a free pass >Aaron Terence HughesHe's getting better over the years. The early releases were meme status. Like I said, he's getting better, but I still find most of his releases to be too aggressive to be wearable in most scenarios. >InitioPDM with more oud >AmouageThe ubiquity of this house within fragcom supports the premise that most of these people are so into fragrance that they can't actually smell most releases anymore. I don't think their releases smell "bad" per se, but if you are an Amouage fan, I implore you to set aside a month where you don't spray anything. 30 days, no perfume. After this period, go back through your collection and reassess all those fragrances you thought smelled weak. What you will find is that you had simply fried your olfactory sensors and were probably the most obnoxious person in the room to most people. >Parfums de MarlyCreed for brown people. Sedley and Habdan smell very nice though>AramisDated but still great. In fact, dated in this case should be worn as a badge of honor >Serge LutensI adore them. They are a fragrance line for fashionable goths. The kind that don't really exist anymore. And don't listen to the hype, Chergui still smells great. >GuerlainTheir new releases can be safely ignored most of the time, but the classics are still being imitated a hundred years later for a reason
At around the start of the pandemic, I blind bought Herod because I found a deal on one of the gray market sites that was so insane I couldn't pass it up. Bottle gets there and I smell it. It smells nice, but of course like with pretty much all PDMs, the hype is over the top. Performance was great and I'd say it was definitely worth what I paid (little over $100 for the 120 ml. It was less than what the basic bitch Sauvage edt goes for nowadays), so I wasn't disappointed, but I have better tobacco fragrances so I left it at the apartment when I went back home to visit family. Because it was coof and I had been living in NYC, I figured I'd just stay home for a while and ride it out because I was afraid they'd eventually go crazy and shut the bridges and airport down or something retarded like that (which they almost did. They shut the airports down for about a week). When I came back I picked up the Herod bottle and noticed it seemed weirdly light. Got out the flashlight to check the juice and two thirds of the bottle was missing. My roommate was obviously wearing it while I was gone. I wasn't mad so I didn't want to confront him directly about it, but I kept dropping hints to see if he would mention liking tobacco scents or something. I would have gladly given it to him. When I ended up moving out I even asked if he wanted to take a couple fragrances from my collection hoping he'd take it but he refused. I don't get it. If he went through two thirds of a 120 ml bottle in six months he must have really liked it. It's still just sitting on my shelf going unused to this day. It's a really expensive fragrance. I'd rather it belong to someone who would enjoy wearing it instead of having it just sit on my shelf like a museum piece. Feels like such a waste. I'm still kind of bummed out about it. I should have just left it there when I moved so he didn't have to feel embarrassed by asking for it or whatever the problem was.
>>18120228neithermaybe ACDD a bit more as it is less spicy
I want to buy Dior Homme, original or intense? As a daily that is

thoughts on this?i don't know jack shit about perfumes and i never used one, but today i was shopping with my gf and she liked this one so i bought it
>>18118836It was composed by the same genius that did Yatagan, what did you expect?
>>18120875I've never heard anyone in the general use this term (either in the incorrect and passive aggressive way fragcom often misuses the term, nor the actual definition) to describe Serge Lutens. And if they did, it wouldn't really work in either capacity. The term "masstige" refers to when prestige brands of any category releases something affordable to the average person. This would refer to something like the BMW 2 series. It's a BMW that costs about the same as a high trim Camry. Serge Lutens can't really be considered "masstige" by this definition because, while it is definitely respected in fragcom and they make good fragrances, it's not really expensive enough to be considered a prestige brand. When people in fragcom use the term "masstige", a lot of them seem to mean expensive and mass-appealing. The astute amongst you might notice that this definition is really fucking stupid, because we already we already have a term that means expensive and mass appealing. That term is "expensive and mass appealing". No one is confused when you say this. They are not using this term for the sake of clarity, they just use it as a bitchy way to shit on brands they don't like. The only people who use the term like this are huge faggots. No one in history has ever uttered the term "masstige" in this way without literally taking a dick out of their mouth first. And as soon as the last syllable has left their lips, the dick goes right back in immediately. This is a well studied phenomenon. That being said, Serge Lutens can't be considered "masstige" by this definition either because they aren't mass appealing. They're one of the nichiest niche houses.
>>18121201I think being snobbish is good, actually
>>18120875Isn't it in the masstige category on that retarded chart? You know the one>>18121201>expensive and mass-appealingIt's a spectrum anyway. Some frags from very respectable houses are expensive yet appeal to a wide audience (e.g. Invasion Barbare), others are also expensive and slightly less inoffensive while still being easy to like for most (e.g. Baraonda), others yet are both expensive and challenging (e.g. Tauer L'Oudh)>it's not really expensive enough to be considered a prestige brandDo you think that really plays much of a role?Nicolai and most of Tauer's frags aren't very expensive either, what makes them "just niche" as opposed to prestige brands? What would you say qualifies as a prestige brand? I think in the eyes of most, the fact that their frags are not as expensive as some other brands like Malle has no bearing on how prestigious they're perceived to be>they aren't mass appealingThey're very interesting and complex but generally not extremely challenging save for a few exceptions. Something like Chergui or Santal Majuscule is fairly easy to like imo. When you say "nichiest niche", brands like Prin or Ensar Oud come to mind.Maybe my nose has reached a point of no return though since I'm starting to appreciate ouds more and more
>>18120269I don’t know why but I have four from zara and as >>18120295 said tender amber and something sand dunes last all of an hour and that’s it. tobacco collection rich warm addictive and sensual vanilla have acceptable performance to me however.
if you’re stupid enough to buy anything from zara (clothes or perfume) you deserve to be slaughtered like the goyim cattle you are.
>>18121258Cosigned for sure.
>>18121219>Do you think that really plays much of a role?I generally think so, but all of these terms are kind of bullshit and don't really matter. To me a "prestige" brand is something a person would wear as a flex. It's the sort of brand a person doesn't necessarily buy simply because they like it, but because it's a status symbol. Nicolai is respected within fragcom, and the "prestige" associated with that brand comes from the fact that the fragrances are really good, not necessarily because they're expensive. I think if you have to explain to a person why a brand is considered a prestige brand, it probably isn't one. I think these sorts of terms are less esoteric outside of fragrance. In fact, fragrance is one of those rare things that consistently proves the emperor wears no clothes and that all of our ideas about the innate quality of prestige products is bullshit because fragrance is invisible. You can spray a thousand dollar Roja fragrance, a $500 Creed Fragrance, a $90 YSL fragrance and a $15 Armaf fragrance and have people sniff them blindly and get all kinds of varying answers on which one is the best. You can't really do that with a Lamborghini or a Rollex or any other product where the label is right there for the world to see. Usually with prestige goods, there is definitely an undeniable difference in quality, but that's not really the case with fragrance. For the most part, all these brands use the same oil houses and the same revolving door list of perfumers. The only real difference is in the packaging. Is a Spirit of Dubai fragrance of higher quality or more creative than a Nicolai fragrance? Hell no. But it doesn't matter because perfume is all a big grift

What is your go-to rose-centric scent? I'm currently between Diptyque's L'Ombre Dans L'Eau and Tiziana Terenzi's Ecstasy. The former is a very green scent, not unlike if you were to extend the opening of Green Irish Tweed, with a soapy rose in the background. For reference, the dragon lord of Basenotes described it as an inversion of the Perfumer's Workshop's Tea Rose, which seems about right to me. Ecstasy smells to me like the rose and incense from Portrait of a Lady with a prominent coniferous woody note and is one of the few scents to have induced abstract synesthesia in me, which I take as a mark of quality.

I'm just starting out with wearing fragrances. On the phase where I discover what I like. I own BDC Parfum, PDM Herod and TF Cherry Smoke and FM Portrait of a Lady. Looking for some summer freshies. Thinking about PDM Greenly or Creed Aventus or something else by Creed, are these OK for summer freshies? any other recommendations? Kind of into niche fragrances more than designer.
>>18123536You're going to be shat on so hard by tryhards for this post assuming it's not bait.>summer freshiesDon't blind buy shit that costs 400 a bottle, unless you can afford it I guess. Creed has Virgin Island Water, Silver Mountain Water and Millesime Imperial which are less overdone than Aventus. PDM has Percival but frankly just get Zara Absolutely Dark if you like that scent profile, or maybe Chanel Platinum Egoiste.Without knowing what notes you like, it's hard to make recommendations
>>18123536>niche fragrances>creed, tom ford and pdmthe absolute state
>>18118278You can. The dry down only smells of vanilla though, but the opening is really beautiful. Longevity is around 8-10 hours on clothes. Projection is good for at least an hour
>>18118275>>18123938utter trash
>>18123597Missed when Parfums de marly, Frederic Malle and Creed became mass market I guess. Chanel and Tom Ford, of course, are.>>18123572That's fine. I think those are great, love the smell. Herod is a classic masterpiece, doubt anyone would hate on it. Cherry Smoke is not the first choice when it comes to cherry fragrances, so it's not that popular to be hated too much. Doubt Portrait of a lady is hated, it's a great fragrance. BDC is hated, of course, but parfum is brilliant Chanel fragrance, don't care.As for freshies, I don't blind buy, I have samples - from PDM tried all fresh stuff, liked Greenly the most. I have Creed Aventus sample as well, but it might be too generic at this point with so many clones around. Will try the other ones, haven't yet. In regards to notes, I like fruity, a bit sweet and fresh with a lot of natural ingredients preferably. Looking for a somewhat dumb reach freshie so I can just apply it and go for the sugpahmmer.
>>18123983lol i literally saw a massive chunk of the creed lineup at some hispanic run discounter at an outlet mall today. they are absolutely mass market now. >herod is a classic masterpieceLMFAO

Thoughts on Wulong Cha?
>>18124005>for women and men
>>18123983>calling something a classic masterpiece after self admitting you are just starting out with fragrancesNot even being mean but you literally do not know enough to make that claim so I’m assuming you are just parroting it. Either way it’s absolutely not. I’d welcome you to justify your claims but I honestly don’t think you can
>>18123983>fruity, a bit sweet and fresh with a lot of natural ingredientsYou might enjoy Voyage d'Hermes Parfum, LV Imagination, Dior Homme Cologne
>>18123983"Dumb reach"Really not what these threads about about. I've never reached dumbly for something in my life, and neither should you.
Which youtube channels do you find the most reputable? That if they recommend something you may trust them enough to blind buy it.

I'm pretty new to the frag world so I didn't get the chance to smell this one. Is this any good for fall/winter?
>>18124146There is only one. He follows the teachings of jesus
>>18118301don't forget urine smells and sweat smells. it's crazy smelling your BO changes based on the things you eat

got samples of the most popular male leaning frags from zoologist as my first dip into niche scentswas promised some challenging and uncomprimising scents, but they really aren'tthey just are all heinously artificial smellingthe first thing you get is a fat whiff of chemicalsok you want to depict the habitat of the animal and not the animal itself and you want to be vegan, coolthen why the fuck are you adding synthetic animal notes into all of your perfumes you fucking retards
>>18124523Zoologist strikes me as a meme house, similar to Orto Parisi or Imaginary AuthorsJust weird and quirky for the sake of it
>>18124523>>18124634Zoologist is literally Canadian ELDO with better branding but less experimental fragrances (whether you consider that a good thing or not). I’m curious what fragrances specifically you’re talking about because yes, some are pretty terrible, there are quite a few where they use some really weird, artificially sweet scent that ruins the whole thing, Bee is the worst, but they have several very good ones as well. I really enjoyed T-Rex and Penguin, Koala and Musk Deer are good as well, Camel is extremely similar to Spice Must Flow from ELDO. Macaque (Fuji Apple) is a good freshie, Cow is a lovely creamy scent, and if you’re into gourmands Rabbit and Harvest Mouse are both delicious. Just to give you further reference, Cockatiel and Dodo both smell fucking horrid, without that artificial sweet note. Snowy Owl and Tiger also both have this… weird… stale air artificial scent. There are others that are bad (to me) those are just a few.
>>18124957I got hyrax, bee and tiger
wearing bortnikoff vesna. I must say bortnikoff is really growing on me, after the initial suprise that he doesn't mean crazy challenging perfumes like russian adam or similar, he's an ingredient nerd who went to thailand to make essentially oldschool fine french perfume with top tier ingredients. Lovely stuff
>>18125157Yeahhhh… all 3 of those are pretty fucking awful. If you want masculine and challenging but still good, get T-Rex. Get Harvest Mouse for a much more enjoyable sweet gourmand and no synthetic sweet smell like in Bee. If you want another challenging masculine you could grab Bat or Rhinoceros, but personally I don’t care for their scent. They’re not “bad” like Tiger, just not smells I like. Beaver is pleasant and more wearable as well.

Just sampled Laboratorio Olfattivo Vetyverso, so satisfying to try a perfect frag that is exactly what you've been looking for. Way better for me than Guerlain Vetiver since I don't like myrrh. >Top Notes Bitter Orange Nutmeg Carnation>Middle Notes Vetiver Black Pepper Pink Pepper Grapefruit>Base Notes Sandalwood Cedar Clary Sage
huh
why the fuck did tranny janny delete my normal posts?
any recs for something a bit futuristic? pretty new to this whole perfume thing so idk
>>18126216CDG 2H24 EDTPeople will say Ganymede but I personally hated it, drydown actually smells bad
>>18126227thanks will try to get some samples
What's the difference between this thread and the fragrance one? IDGI
>>18126326this thread is a troll thread new fag. frag thread is the real one
>>18123112When I smelled Oajan on a guy
>>18123112Never. Fresh citrus fragrances with vanillic, oriental undertones are the way to go.
any EU brand that makes stuff like ELDO? USA brands seldom reach where I live
>>18129052one can only hope not
