i have samples of ambre sultan by lutens and casbah by piguet from "first in fragrance". i really like them so last week i ordered full bottles from notino because the prices were lower.
with 3 sprays from the bottles they both turn into skin scent after like 2 hours and the smell is completely gone after 5 hours. with 2 sprays from the samples i get a much better projection and i can still smell them after 12 hours. really makes you think

what are creeds best fragrances for men besides aventus?
Ethan Bell
Third for can't wait to buy Sauvage EDP.

FOUND THE SHEEP!
Creed is a bunch of Jews who lie about their history! If you buy their products, it’s because you’re an idiot who believes their bullshit marketing and everyone will look down their noses at you! It couldn’t possibly be that you just like their scents and don’t care about that shit!
...seriously, though, I love MI and Royal Water. VIW is nice too, but I do think it’s a bit simplistic for the price. Smells kinda like something your girlfriend would buy and Bath and Body Works or something. If you can get it cheap, though, it’s nice.
Jayden Perez
WTF I love CDNIM now
Noah Sanchez
Royal Oud is a pretty great woody-fresh daytime fragrance. I also really enjoy Original Vetiver, which is frequently overlooked or dismissed as a soapy Mugler Cologne derivative. OV has an herbal, grassy depth to its heart and base that sets it apart from others in the same category.
Not a fan of Millesime Imperial, though I own a bottle. I find its muskiness cloying for warm weather and don't think to reach for it on mild days.
Just ordered Bois du Portugal as it's been discontinued. We'll see how that one works out.
Kayden Roberts
What are some good office-tier scents? Something that makes you smell clean, competent, professional and confident. All the stuff being released now are clubbing stuff or makes you smell like want2fuk too much.
Carson Collins
From what I've smelled, I'd say >Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver >Prada's L'homme And I'm not sure if it's totally an office scent, but Creed's Royal Mayfair is a pleasant clean smell in my opinion.
David Brown
Eros and Invictus of course
Joseph Rivera
Boss Bottled Intense EdP
Jackson Gonzalez
>Prada's L'homme >Something that makes you smell clean It doesn't get much cleaner than pure soap

Any opinions on Dior Sauvage?

Just added these two to my winter rotation. I wanted a really solid performer so I bought pure malt, and then encre noire extreme was just to add some variety to my winter rotation, but wonderwood didn't really "do" it for me. For the most part, I have everything I really want. I think the last few things I really want to cop are Dior Homme intense, that clone of La Nuit when it goes on sale, and maybe Rocky Mountain Wood.
Currently, winter rotation consists of individuel, Hanae Mori HiM and HM, Burberry Brit and London, CK One Shock, and sometimes D&G Pour Homme. Pretty content with my current rotation though, so I might just chill for a while and get ready for the warmer weather.
Evan Jenkins
I like it. seems a bit on subtle side. t. sauvage user.
Joshua Rogers
If you are looking for a daily wear scent in the Sauvage family, try Bvlgari Aqva Atlantique. Its ambroxan is accompanied by marine notes rather than pepper. I find it to be much more versatile and less choking than Sauvage, and you can cop it for half the price online.
Angel Davis
Im actually liking this scent. Am I a pleb? I dont care I like it.
Christian Fisher
I just bought Sauvage and I can tell you this right now, I assumed the hype was a meme but goddamn does that fragrance make me smell like a man and a sexy one at that.
Oliver Sanders
Call me a peasant but i love armani black code
Bentley Long
Do plastic or "frosted glass" atomisers leak easily? My samples from thefragrancebear on eBay that are in glass atomisers hold juice fine but my Armani code sample that came in a plastic atomiser feels like its losing liquid, I'm definite I haven't used it enough to empty half of the sample....
Juan Lee
Pretty stupid question mate, you should be smart enough to tell if it's leaking or not.
Noah Baker
Man why do my Fahrenheit smells bad now? It was great when I first bought it. Has it gone bad? I've made sure I stored it away from heat and light.
Blake Collins
Celsius is better
Anthony Ross
to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Dior Fahrenheit. The scent is extremely avant-garde, and without a solid grasp of theoretical perfumery, most of the notes will go over a typical wearer's head.
Sebastian Diaz

Got this because a friend recommended it to me. My sense of smell sucks but to me it just smells like any safe, standard cologne. Did I get memed?
Owen Collins
Forgot pic
Andrew Turner
Is your friend Indian? Persian? Pakistani? Help me out here.
Asher Rodriguez
She's white
Anthony Morris
I uh... I don’t understand. It’s a she, she’s not a greasy Pajeet, and she likes 1 Million? Is she 15?
Kayden Cruz
1 Million was basically THE clubbing scent a few years back, nowadays, it’s basically associated with disgusting brown people who wear way too much of it.
Connor Baker
She's 22, and she quote, "can't control herself" when she smells it. She's a pleb with a lotta shit just like most of my friends, so I'm not too surprised it's shit. rec me some shit in the same price range that's better, I'll get that next time.
Nathaniel Gutierrez
Well if you want a safe, standard cologne then this is the polar opposite of it. Everytime some middle eastern looking guy with too much cologne on is walking by it is this fragrance.
If you want a office scent, try (always try on skin first) Bleu de Chanel, Prada L'Homme, D&G The One (doesn't last that long though) and get a own sense of smell.
Connor Cooper
thanks man. All the wiki has on perfume is terms and a link to cbihateperfume.com
Jonathan Thomas
Sure, thing is that when you are new to fragrances you want to stock up on lot's of scents and buy the biggest bottles which doesn't always work out because after a few uses you might not like the scent anymore. Be criticial and take your time because scents last years if you have a few of them.
Alexander Carter
Sounds like it's been reformulated, that's the answer any time a frag seems different right?
Jordan Cook
This.
I’d take a trip down to a Sephora, ask for some help, and grab a few samples. Give you an idea of what you like.
Leo Morgan
Okay, I'll concede- Sauvage dries down to something decently pleasant that I can definitely see being "sexy" to women. I couldn't stand waiting for it to dry down to that though.
Ryder Price
Whom are you talking to?
Carter Cox
Has anyone other than you told you that?
Connor Edwards
>tfw immediately ordered 3 backup bottles of pic related after first wear My happiest blind buy ever. It's an Eighties fougere with an emphasis on my very favorite note, patchouli. Patched out gold Dial soap on steroids. So nice.
Adrian Barnes
Do you want to be spoken to?
Jeremiah Gutierrez
I have decants of both of these. Ambre Sultan, I'll have to check but I don't remember longevity being very low on that one.
Casbah though, on me, is a projection beast and lasts a good 8 hours on me. After a first few trials, I vowed to apply it very carefully on myself. It's an overall very potent fragrance- odd that you found longevity very low on it.
Andrew Johnson
>being this insecure you have to call out yourself first
Jeremiah Roberts
Again another question asked x10 every thread, no exaggeration.
/frag/ is prime tier déjà vu simulator
Gavin Bennett
>pleasant clean fragrance >tries at store, smells nice >goes to check the price Wtf dude, get your priorities straight. Definitely does not warrant the price
Jason Flores
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!!!
I was gonna cop a bottle of Rock Rose, now fragnet is sold out and fragrancebuy is suddenly carrying basically every Clive Christian scent EXCEPT Rock Rose.
I really don’t want to pay like 800.00 for this shit.
Nathaniel Murphy
wtf I love Eros now
Connor Price
they'll restock rock rose, surely. also ill message fragrancebuy as to why they dont have rock rose
Oliver Gomez
man this general sure has gone to shit
also please stop hyping rock rose i dont want those plebs getting an interest in it
Adam Hernandez
this smells fucking awful compared to sauvage. it smells like the ocean in the worst way
Gabriel Morgan
this is why you don't buy niche from fragrance discounters.
Jeremiah Stewart
What are the best RECENT and MODERN colognes /fg/?
Talking about colognes released from 2015 and beyond. Old colognes just don't cut it anymore.
Robert Wright
Sounds like it's been reformulated...
Cameron Garcia
Why coordinate your fragrances with the season when most time in summer is spent in AC and most time in winter is spent in front of a heater?
Daniel Kelly
Opinions on desert rose and it's performance? Tried it in-store the other day and was blown away, amazing frag. Though I'm not sure if it's too feminine or not
Jace Murphy
Because you wouldn't wear a summer frag if you were going to sit in the air con all day and winter frags the same if you are immediately going to a warm heated room.
Benjamin Williams
>reformulated
Cooper Lee
sous le toit de paris is the best atelier cologne frag
Jaxson Reyes
is it true that wearing perfume is not good for your health? i want to smell nice but i dont want to harm my body :/
Ian Sanchez
Going bowling with workmates start of March, would Invictus be a good choice? Or should I be reserved with a couple sprays of Body Kouros or Individuel?
Ayden Russell
Stop being such a pussy, everything you do is bad for your health in some way.
Isaiah Bell
Holy shit, my ex said the same thing about this. Now I'm looking for the notes that make this possible, but I can't make her smell it again so I don't know. Is that the patchouli? Help
Andrew Phillips
Interlude Man unironically smells fantastic as long as you don't apply more than 1 spray
Isaac Reed
I'm curious, what frag would you guys pick as a permanent skin scent? I'd probably go for YSL L'homme or Pure Tonka
Jose Rivera
lmao knew a pajeet who was DYING to buy this
Owen Roberts
Indian men are objectively the most unintentionally hilarious human beings on the planet.
Jaxson Nguyen
They have a designated field for shitting in India so go figure.
Jason Martinez
Looking for some 30-40$ smell for casual wear.
Landon Stewart
Post your next purchase. I just got a sample of this and I can't imagine my life without this
Leo Barnes
Mont Blanc Individuel is clean, inoffensive and you can wear it year round. You can find it on Notino for about $22 + shipping.
Ryder Gonzalez
Are there any Bond fragrances worth checking out? Something more towards spring/summer or even more versatile as long as it's not too heavy?
Gabriel Sanders
Let us know how it goes! If you like it, are you planning on getting the full bust version or the one without?
Brayden Moore
What's the best watery aquatic for summer? Was considering Bulgari's Aqua Marine but the bottle takes up a lot of space...

How do you like Pure Tonka? I freaking love L’Homme. Should I try this frag?
Kevin Perez
TV, from what I've tried. Shame that it feels like that's all it is.
Gavin Smith
Picked this up today, thoughts?
Owen Hall
Why don't you give us your thoughts? Most of us likely wouldn't have tried it yet.
Dylan Perez
Well I like it, it's got a nice blast citrus in the opening then is more woody in the drydown. Seems like it would be great for the upcoming hot months here in the southern US. Performance seems decent although it sits pretty close to the skin so I'm able to apply it more liberally.
Just wanted to see if anyone else here had gotten their nose on it.
Christopher Campbell
A bit too sharp and spicy for me. I like the Artisan mainline better.
Thomas Brooks
Is there a site that breaks down frags based on season appropriateness? I've bought a good amount of frags recently but they all seem to be fall/winter scents, and I need to start catching up on spring/summer scents.
Daniel Foster
>season appropriateness no such thing. you can wear scents whenever you like. just a meme created by cologne makers to sell more
Lucas Ramirez
fragrantica
Michael King
fragrantica allows people to vote on the season fragrances would be best for, but also Some notes seem to do better in certain weather conditions imo but honestly just wear what you want when you want
Austin Ramirez
Anyone have suggestions on some cheapies that have good longevity?
Daniel Harris
Anything by Aramis or Jacques Bogart.
Most masculines created by Annick Menardo tend to last long and go for around the $30 - $45 range on the gray market. Hope you like the smell of benzoine.
Zachary Anderson
What does /fg/ think of Guerlain L'Homme Ideal?
Daniel Richardson
Gary from fragrancebuy, on the inclusion of Rock Rose in their inventory:
"We will keep an eye out"
Ayden Garcia
A few of my favorites from the last couple years: Dior Sauvage Coach For Men Acqua di Gio Profumo
Austin Hernandez
Is it true new bottles get better performance after you used a few sprays and let it sit for a week or two?
Joseph Carter
Who the fuck told you that
Aiden Howard
>Coach For Men
How do you find this? I tried in on a paper tester and it smelled too sweet like a slightly less obnoxious version of 1 Million
Juan Long
I used to hate this when I first smelled it but now it's growing on me. Definitely an okay alternative to Sauvage.
Chase Gonzalez
Pajeet
It's been my experience as well though.
Christian Anderson
The opening is perfect for me, like slightly more lively ysl lhomme but gets too cloying i the drydown
Kevin Kelly
EDP and Cologne versions are fantastic, the normal one and the Sport flanker, I havent tried them
Kayden Sanchez
What are your honest opinions about Bvlgari Man in Black? Thanks in advance
