guys

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?

*Blows up the universe and transports the path to another dimension*

Favorite unisex or masculine florals, /frag/?

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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

Dior Homme and its flankers
GIT

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?

The combination of "musk" and tonka bean.

>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.

>>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...

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

Iris, some lavender, some musk, tonka bean.

Maybe Dior Fahrenheit or Donna Karen Fuel. Bvlgari Black. Some people say those smell a bit like gas or rubber

Dior fahrenheit 100%

Just copped. Seems more like a Fall/Winter fragrance. Thoughts on this?

we get it you own one, we got the hint from the last three threads

Normie here

I wear this shit and it gets me mad laid but you know I work im 32 and manage a sales team and shit these days so I need something a bit classier. So I'm looking for like fruity andro but with a distinct masc pine or timber note as well. Like alpha just not like fuck your wife alpha more like I'll fire you on the spot and not give you a reference because I don't like you alpha.

What do ya got for me

bleu de chanel?

also you dont need to specify that you're "normie" .. this is Veeky Forums not /r9k/

Unironically Aventus

What is a very comforting fragrance?

Bois d'Argent

eau de kys

did you see those vids by amouage? neat
amouage.com/films

lumiere noire comforts me, as do a few white florals.

might be my skin, or my taste, but i found this absolutely repugnant.

Is fragrance a good birthday gift for a dude?

I got invited to a bar by a guy I had on my team last semester to celebrate his birthday/ he's getting deployed. I don't know much about him and I don't want to show up empty handed. I'm also a dude if that matters.

don't buy a fragrance for anyone you're not in a relationship with or related to. hard rule regardless of sex.

Get him D&G The One. Nobody dislikes that.

How about four:

Eau Aimable
Coromandel
GpH II
New Haarlem

My signature scent

>Chamonix
tfw no chalet in chamonix

why even live?

Mr. Burberry

Bleu de Chanel (Toilette or Parfum are good).

does jeremy post here

gross, turns sickeningly sweet

I've bought frags for family before, I don't think there is anything particularly intimate about perfume as a gift

that said, I'd probably never buy one for a guy friend

nvm, skimmed over the "related to" part. still, not a major faux pas imo

prob too busy pounding german models to have time for us plebs

Reminder to add this and similar recommendation pics to new threads

I mean, in theory, but I'm in Amsterdam right now and I'm busy pounding Eastern European hookers all day, but I still have time to chill with my fragbros.

I actually got this for my father for christmas and he literally hasn't worn it once

Does he wear frags otherwise?

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?

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.

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
xd

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

have you tried GIT

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

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

Jeremy seems like a chad but one that's a nice and likeable guy

Breath of god by lush

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.

What's the best Aqua di Parma regional scent? (The blue bottles named " 'plant' di 'italian region' ")

Fan di Fendi Pour Homme

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.

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

thanks senpai

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

What do you guys think about CDNIM?

I've only tried two or three but I liked fico di amalfi. It's sweet, bright fig scent.

Thank you for saying what we were all thinking.

i think you should stop shilling this

I'm not shilling it. I've got it and can't decide if it's good or not.

lets skip the bullshit

which fragrance makes girls say you smell good and keeps sniffing your neck to get more smell off you

so you're asking people to make up your taste in frags?

>"lets skip the bullshit"
>posts another bullshit le panty dropper post

wow this guy hates life

i hate incompetence

it's funny because I bet you're incompetent at a whole lotta things you think you're not

not in fragrances though :)

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

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.

Looks like a bottle of expensive whisky.

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

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.

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

reminds me strongly of dali pour femme

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