imagine your grandfather. imagine he's in a nursing home. they feed him sugar free cake with an orange that has been out on the counter so it's dried out. imagine he shits out the cake in a diaper. then he takes the diaper off. he starts watching your favorite porn. he cums into the diaper. he puts the diaper into a bag and lets it ferment for weeks. he takes the fermented fecal matter and cum and bottles it.

That is l'instant de guerlain. I guaranfuckingtee that's exactly how that geriatric fuck who owns the company made this nasty rank scent.

First for l'instant is the single worst fragrance in the history of mankind.

>no vanilla
no

>girls under the age of 25 fucking hate vetiver basically across the board
;_; what about more modern vetivers like grey vetiver? pls respnd

>blind buy l'hommes
>really like the smell
>last like only an hour on me
>only use it at home

I like it and I smell good. Shame about the performance though

Just sampled Eros, 2 sprays on my neck. My god this thing smells nice and strong. Still seems like it’s not very versatile.

(You)

I have decided to stop using Sauvage, I started using it 6 months ago because of the hype it was generating, I have to admit that I made an error by falling for the meme. Since then, I have been fucking an average of 6 girls a week, which is around 700% more than before using Sauvage. My dick cant stand this anymore, I need a rest, all those girls keep messaging me because they want to get banged again and "feel me close" again, and am I receiving over 11 phone calls every day for that, I need to STOP. Just bought Bleu de Channel, I hope it stops this madness

Something like the edp of parfum intense would probably be better if you want longer performance. Its slightly different but seems to last 4-5 hours at my job with 2 sprays

Posted this in the last thread but it got buried. The sticky here mentions some site CBIhateperfume that looks like it sells a bunch of sets. It seems suspiciously like a meme and I never see anyone talking about it here. Any of you ever looked into it?

Just got a good deal in terre d'hermes parfum. Did I fuck up? What do you guys think of the parfum versus the EDT?

>ambroxan
>tobacco
>jasmine

Is this Versace's Eros flanker for the LGBT crowd?

best summer fragrances?

Invictus

it's a nice fragrance but everyone is using it

Aqua Amara?

good scent at a great price. I picked up the extreme version though, I think it's a lot more interesting of a scent and I love incense. Sort of reminds me of incense Kyoto if Kyoto didn't suck.

Which picture did you think was ambroxan?

In the last few years my dad has given me a talking to everytime he has smelled a cologne on me

He has taught me that smelling CLEAN trumps any cologne or parfume you could wear. Let the girls smell the clean soap smell and your pheremones. Don't smell like a dinky club-goer

I have chosen to listen to my dad because he has reportedly slept with 250+ women (and 2 men) so I take his advice about women pretty seriously

What do you guys think? Can't I just WOW a girl with my natural musk?

Attached: soap.jpg (900x598, 208K)

The picture you used for amber, that’s fragrantica’s Ambroxan icon.

Different kinds of girls.

For me I have no problem being scentless, but i wear it because I like to. As long as you hold your head confident and give a shit about how you look, you're probably fine.

I got this last summer in Paris

thoughts?

No, it's more generally amber, Fragrantica's icon for amber.

Look up what icons Amber Absolute, Ambra Aurea and Ambre Loup has.

I'm not saying it's not ambroxan- it could be, but that icon is clearly amber and should be read as such.

Edit: I just checked Fragrantica and apparently the icon for amber is a sideways ambroxan. So fuck me.

Yes. So can someone who additionally wows a girl by smelling like a work of art. Various perfume ingredients act the same way as human pheromones and amplify their effect - musk being the most obvious example.

Kouros is pretty much synthetic athlete sweat and smells almost offensively butch; if you used only a single spray, it could be mistaken for your own odour.

That's more of an addendum than an edit.

Any recommendations based on my current bottles?

Comme de Garcons 2
Incense Kyoto
L'air du desert marocain
Kenzo Homme
NC for him
Encre Noire
Aventus

imo you need something lighter. All of your scents are good, but they are all pretty either heavy or in your face scents.

You'd probably like Guerlain Vetiver (Extreme) or tom ford gray vetiver.

We don't wear cologne to attract women or sleep with them. If you're coming here just to get your dick wet you're in the wrong place.

Humans don't have pheromones

Then why do you wear cologne?

you must live a very shallow life if things you do are based only on carnal pleasure.

it makes me feel good.

I mean yes i also hope a girl will notice it, but I'm enjoying it in the mean time

The same reason I dress nice and follow fashion, to express myself and define my identity and how I want to appear to people around me.
Also I just like smelling them, I will put on a frag sometimes even when I'm just sitting at home by myself

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1664751/
>Androstenone is variously described as having an unpleasant (urine, sweat) or pleasant odour (sweet, floral), yet a fraction of the population cannot detect its presence. Moreover, androstenone is a pheromone in boars and is found in urine and axillary sweat in humans, making it a prospective candidate for odour-mediated communication in humans.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3809382/

>The endocrine results confirm that female odors signal reproductive status, inducing appropriate male physiological responses to deal with a potential mate and intra-sexual competition (32, 39). Testosterone increased after smelling periovulatory odors, but the periovulatory vulva facilitated a more prolonged effect than the periovulatory axilla. The shared effect of axillary and vaginal odors might arise from the fact that apocrine glands involved in the synthesis of putative steroidal pheromone-like compounds, such as androstanedione and estratetraenol (52, 53) are found mainly in the axilla (54), but also in the labia majora (17) and the perineum (18). The extended increase of testosterone elicited by periovulatory vulva odors suggests that genital compounds are more diverse and potent than those from the axilla, perhaps owing to the presence of more specialized glands in that area. Luteal odors decreased testosterone. As mentioned, this result was first reported by Miller and Maner (6), and might elicit a low testosterone status that decreases sexual desire (55), or at least make women in the non-fertile days sexually uninteresting.

Whoah there buddy. Slow down now. You're making an ass out of both you and me with you assumptions.

No, my every thought is not based around carnal pleasure. With perfumes, colognes, scents however, yes I associate them with the pursuit of a sexual partner.

This is why I asked my question. I genuinely want to know your reasoning behind wearing scents besides sexual pursuits. I want to see your perspective and see if maybe I would open my mind to that


Thanks for the legit answers

But I'll be honest, I'm not exactly impressed when my good friends or coworkers wear perfumes. If anything, I find it to be a distraction.

Although I do have this old coworker Larry who smells like a barber shop and I like that (is that the smell of Barbasol?)

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10380676

>We compared ratings of body odour, attractiveness, and measurements of facial and body asymmetry of 16 male and 19 female subjects. Subjects wore a T-shirt for three consecutive nights under controlled conditions. Opposite-sex raters judged the odour of the T-shirts and another group evaluated portraits of the subjects for attractiveness. We measured seven bilateral traits of the subject's body to assess body asymmetry. Facial asymmetry was examined by distance measurements of portrait photographs. The results showed a significant positive correlation between facial attractiveness and sexiness of body odour for female subjects. We found positive relationships between body odour and attractiveness and negative ones between smell and body asymmetry for males only if female odour raters were in the most fertile phase of their menstrual cycle.

Why do people wear clothes that aren’t just shapeless grey shirts and pants? Why do people wear scarfs during the summer, or jewellery? It’s fashion. That’s why it’s on this board.

>Making assumptions
Your entire post was asking how to pick up girls. It's not that far if a jump to say you're just here looking to get your dick wet you dumb virgin

>with my natural musk
You mean B.O., don't you?

Why do you feel the need to be fashionable?

Why so animalistic? I'm certainly no virgin

Do you feel threatened by the fact that I'm asking questions that slightly bend the frame of what you wanted this thread to be?

No it's annoying that you're so concerned with pussy and getting women that you try to detail what was a pretty good thread

He wasn't derailing anything faggot stop being autistic and ignore it.

Unironically who cares? I’m 23 and I wear Le Labo Vetiver 46 all the time. If they don’t like it they can suck my dick (metaphorically)

I understand this perspective. I prefer niche fragrances that the average person probably does not feel strongly about. If I were in your shoes, I would just wear a clean soapy inoffensive scent like Prada L’Homme. No one will notice or comment, but girls almost universally like it.

Classic or L'eau?

>and 2 men
Your dad is gay. Disown and disregard or share his faggot fate.

Man guerlain has a lot of frags but instant is one that doesn't even come close

I think girls that aren't thots like Hermes.

Kyoto smells like my grandma

Which sucks because I thought it would be cool

your dad sounds like kind of a toolbag desu

also humans don’t react to pheremones, we’re not fucking animals stop with that shit

i want to buy some creed for posterity sake but i also want grills to think i smell good because i’m a shallow fag

which ones should i try lads

recommendations based on current bottles?

ysl l'homme
ysl l'homme ultime
ysl la nuit de l'homme
burberry for men
dolce and gabbana intenso

yup, they hate grey vetiver

if you're wearing colognes to pick up girls, vetiver is the opposite direction. it may pick up some menopausal women and older but that's it.

>for posterity's sake
>Creed
>Not any one of the grand houses with already 70 year old vintages going for hundreds/ ml already

>vetiver not being the most offensive in your face scent
kek what a fucktard

that’s a little too much posterity for me user

On what fucking planet is that in your face? Maybe if you spray like 25 sprays of encre noire, but guerlain vetiver is an overall light scent

Retard

>we’re not fucking animals
uhm

wtf I love Eros now

Attached: eros.jpg (845x990, 56K)

a guy i know doesnt use apply perfume nor a deodorant and probably doesnt take any showers. he smells like buttermilk combined with sweat and fart

I'm looking to spend a bit of money on a fresh year round scent I can wear for most ocassions.
Was considering Bleu EDP or Grey Vetiver.
Any other scents in that £70-90 price range?
I'm turning 25 soon, would likely work in hospitality or retail, aiming to become a software engineer someday.

post yfw you realized l'eu d'issey = l'odyssee

l'homme de coeur by divine

Umm Creed is one of the oldest houses kiddo.

>100% chance this is a stinking shitskin

VETIVER IS A VERY STRONG, VERY OFFENSIVE SCENT. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE HATE THE STENCH OF MIDDLE EASTERN PEOPLE

I'm asking you for self awareness, which you're not capable of. Vetiver is horrid, disgusting, plebian scent. Fuck off.

Because people have always wanted to express themselves through fashion. Literally since humanity came into existence people were making jewellery, or weaving things into their hair, or wearing garments that served no practical purpose. It’s just something people do. Yeah, some people only dress the way that they do to attract members of the opposite sex, but to say that that encompasses all fashion is a gross oversimplification.

People just like expressing themselves.

MI if you’re just trying to impress grills.

No it isn’t, and don’t start saying shit like that. You’ll bring out the anti-Creed turboautist and this thread’ll really get derailed.

Chanel blue is the best

Mass appealing
reformulated
synthetic
cheapie
flanker

almost spiked my autism. there is 0 evidence that creed existed before 1970. even thou their entire bulshit about being from 1800 or some shit. Which btw would is a perfect decent time to stay in the fragrance industry

even guerlain, opened doors in 1828

I can't decide between this and Dylan Blue.

>Kouros is pretty much synthetic athlete sweat and smells almost offensively butch; if you used only a single spray, it could be mistaken for your own odour.

I pick up on this in Sauvage too desu. Is this a trait of aromatic fougeres?

Is ADG Profumo an acceptable frag for a dresed up black/white ensemble? Maybe sprayed an hour before heading out to reduce sillage if I want it to be softer?

Sup, lads. I’m going in for surgery next week. What scent should I wear so the surgeon knows I’m a big shot?

It's some new meme

Fucking autists shitting up thr thread.

Eros, he'll know you're very classy!

See Nurses will blow your dick

Im whiter than you ahmed.

Meanwhile, 100 percent chance you are some fucking sub 21 year old fag who tried terre D Hermes and went "eww old man smell" it's a fucking earthy smell. There are tons of bad frags that use it, but to claim that this earthy fucking root is overpowering anybody makes me think you're CLINICALLY retarded.

I fucking love Eau Sauvage

To me it smells dated in the best possible way

damn this nigga mad af

Dang why are you shilling it so much?

>samefagging this hard

I thought post Terre D'Hermes shitposting was bad, but sauvage shitposting ruined this thread beyond repair

Attached: 1425157475944.jpg (581x364, 20K)

don't start this shit up user we know how it's gonna go.
You're going to have an autism tantrum and accuse anyone who disagrees with you of samefagging, then despite people showing you caps of it you will cry that people are master photoshoppers who are conspiring to trick and samefag some random dude on a Veeky Forums general. Then we end up 60 posts later with no real content because you decided to act like a fag

Yes. Crazy, right? What do bodies even have to with sex? I send women into ecstasy by smelling like moral consistency and righteous bookkeeping.

no one wants to smell your BO user, especially in a thread for designer fragrances

>tfw it's here
>tfw 575ml of Royal Oud

Batch number appears to be C4315W01. The cap wrapper is leather and the smell could be detected outside of the package. Very happy purchase.

>2 bottles of BDC
why?

beyond mad

Get compliments all the time when wearing this

Both varieties, EdT and EdP. I'll probably also cop 150 of the Extreme or Intense or whatever it's called when and it finally launches.

>respond with retarded tier arguments and contrarian opinions from somebody who is objectively mad
>get low quality arguments back
>dude why are you so mad lol

Your final (You). I'm sure the above 21 crowd in this general will continue wearing vetiver frags and give no fucks about what some autist on /frag/ was upset about today.

t. almost 22 years old and mad as fuck

are you really that stupid that you think I'm the one who said that?

What notes or note cominations create Pavlovian responses in normies?

I've never actually smelt LIDG, so I can't say if he's right or wrong, but it just clicked with me that Guerlain powder + cacao must have created this response, where the powderiness is seen as baby powder, and the cacao as fecal matter. Hence old-fashioned diapers.

Patchouli seems to have absolutely no way to escape being the loathed scapegoat for the worst of '70s and '80s fragrances. It's just the note that gets the blame. Wrong place at the wrong time.
